Chapter 140: Chapter 145 The Unyielding Shangguan Baihe
Chapter One Hundred Forty-Five
After practicing "The Art of Immortality," Long Xiaoshan's memory, spiritual wisdom, and physical fitness improved in all aspects.
In terms of spiritual wisdom, Long Xiaoshan was already extraordinary.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been admitted to Shuimu University as a peasant's son.
Now he had just achieved a Divine Body and obtained Divine Skills.
Once Yue Ling's boxing techniques were performed, they would form a deep impression in his mind.
Coupled with his superhuman physical fitness,
practicing became as easy as turning one's hand over.
In the blink of an eye, a night had passed.
In the deep mountains,
a heavy shout could be heard.
Long Xiaoshan dashed towards a large tree like lightning and punched its trunk.
His wild True Qi erupted in a unique way.
The trunk exploded, and the tree, as thick as a bowl, split into two parts and collapsed with a thunderous crash.
Long Xiaoshan retracted his fist and stood, slowly settling his boiling True Qi back into his Dantian.
"Good!"
Yue Ling's eyes shone with excitement.
Just one night, and Long Xiaoshan's boxing had become so powerful.
With Yue Ling's keen eyes, how could he fail to see that Long Xiaoshan's boxing had already reached a profound understanding and mastery?
"Impressive, when I first learned boxing, it took me three months to achieve a little success, I wouldn't have imagined that Xiaoshan, you would achieve it in one night, truly a Heavenly Being indeed," exclaimed Yue Ling with admiration.
"It's all thanks to Brother Yue's great teaching," Long Xiaoshan said modestly, scratching his head.
Yue Ling shook his head: "No, your talent is too strong. I taught you just the same, nothing special. I don't have much more to teach you about boxing. From now on, it's up to you to refine and improve yourself. It's almost dawn now, tomorrow I'll teach you palm techniques and leg techniques."
Long Xiaoshan nodded: "Okay, thank you, Brother Yue. Oh, and Brother Yue, I still have a Yin Yuan Pill here, I'll give it to you as well."
Long Xiaoshan took out the last Yin Yuan Pill.
Yue Ling's eyes lit up as he quickly accepted the Yin Yuan Pill, saying, "This Elixir Pill will be greatly beneficial to me, I won't stand on ceremony."
"It's nothing, it's just that Pure Yin Herbs are hard to find, otherwise I could make more for Brother Yue," Long Xiaoshan said.
"There will be a chance."
Yue Ling's heart was racing with excitement; indeed, following an Alchemist had its benefits, one Elixir Pill being worth a year of hard cultivation.
After Yue Ling returned to the Hundred Ghosts Banner to cultivate,
Long Xiaoshan kept practicing his boxing techniques in the mountains as dawn was still a ways off.
It wasn't until daylight broke that he went back to the village.
He had breakfast with his parents on the farm.
Then he took out some Talismans and distributed them to his parents, Chun Tao, and others, with Jin Lian and Long Shiyu also receiving a share.
It definitely wasn't enough to deal with the Black Scale Gate,
but now that the farm was growing, there could be envious people watching.
So, it was necessary to provide them with Talismans for self-defense.
Afterward, he drove to the county.
Upon reaching the Lily Hotel,
he made a phone call, and soon after, Shangguan Baihe came down. She was dressed in a purple body-hugging mini skirt, beige stockings below, a black lace top above, vaguely revealing the cleavage in front, walking over with a seductive charm.
Every time Long Xiaoshan saw her, he felt a bit nervous.
It wasn't a physiological nervousness but rather a mental one.
Shangguan Baihe felt like a poppy or a beautiful venomous snake to him, gorgeous yet with a hint of poison.
That was also the reason why he rarely took the initiative to see Shangguan Baihe.
Compared to her, he'd rather seek out Su Wan.
However, in Niu Y County, Shangguan Baihe had connections in both the underworld and legitimate business, and her network was extensive. The medicinal herbs he needed were not ordinary, and indeed, he could only turn to Shangguan Baihe for them.
"President Long," Shangguan Baihe greeted him with a beaming smile.
"Sister Shangguan, just call me by my name. None of that 'President Long' stuff," Long Xiaoshan said helplessly.
"Hehe."
Shangguan Baihe hooked her arm in Long Xiaoshan's and said, "Now that I have invested most of my fortune in you, how dare I let you act like my younger brother?"
This was no lie.
Although Shangguan Baihe was a wealthy person in Niu Y County,
she couldn't compare to the Guu Family.
Just last time, when Gu Jingheng invested one billion into the farm, she had to take out two hundred million just to maintain her shares.
For her, that two hundred million was indeed most of her fortune.
Fortunately, Long Xiaoshan didn't need her to invest all at once, otherwise, she really couldn't have come up with two hundred million in cash.
Seeing the chairwoman of Lily Hotel, Shangguan Baihe, taking the initiative to latch onto the arm of a young man, all the onlookers in the hotel were completely stunned, speculating who this young man in cheap clothing might be.
As they walked outside, Shangguan Baihe saw Long Xiaoshan heading towards that shabby pickup truck and chided, "Drive my car!"
Long Xiaoshan was taken aback, realizing that driving his pickup to accompany a beautiful chairwoman like Shangguan Baihe really wasn't fitting and he awkwardly smiled, taking the car keys she handed to him.
It was a yellow Porsche sports car.
Sitting inside, Long Xiaoshan felt the difference; it was very luxurious.
When he drove it, the sensation of speed was something a pickup truck couldn't match.
He couldn't help but admire, "Nice car."
"You like it? Sister will give it to you," Shangguan Baihe said.
"Uh, give it to me?"
"What's the matter, don't dare to take it?"
"It's not that, you know the roads where I live, even if you give it to me, I won't be able to drive it there."
"Aren't they fixing the roads? When it's done, you'll be able to drive there."
"We'll talk about it when they're fixed."Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"Long Xiaoshan!" Shangguan Baihe suddenly said in a heavier tone.
"What's up?"
"Are you deliberately keeping your distance from me? Am I that frightening?"
Long Xiaoshan awkwardly said, "How could that be?"
Shangguan Baihe coldly huffed, "Don't think I can't see it. You dare to get involved with Qin You, but when it comes to me, how come you turn into a coward?"
Screech!
The racing car came to a sudden stop at the side of the road. Long Xiaoshan looked at Shangguan Baihe, somewhat shaken. Apart from telling Shen Yuerong, he hadn't spoken of his affair with Qin You to anyone else; how did Shangguan Baihe know about it?
Shangguan Baihe smiled, looking at Long Xiaoshan's expression and said, "Just as I thought, you and Qin You are having an affair."
Long Xiaoshan then realized he had been tricked by Shangguan Baihe.
He angrily retorted, "What do you mean 'affair'? Don't make it sound so ugly."
"What else do you call it? A team leader sleeping with someone seven or eight years their junior—what would people say if word got out?" Shangguan Baihe's lips curved into a mocking, cold smile.
Long Xiaoshan's expression darkened. He could disregard his own reputation, but he couldn't afford to neglect Qin You's.
"Are you threatening me?" Long Xiaoshan asked coldly.
A chilling presence gradually filled the car.
The smile froze on Shangguan Baihe's lips; not everyone could bear the murderous aura that emanated from Long Xiaoshan.
But Shangguan Baihe was not your average woman.
His indifference sparked her fierce rebelliousness, and she defiantly stared into Long Xiaoshan's eyes, "I am threatening you. What can you do about it, Long Xiaoshan? Kill me to keep me quiet?"
Long Xiaoshan's eyes narrowed as he suddenly stretched out a hand and grasped Shangguan Baihe's slender neck.
That immense power pulsed at his fingertips.
With just a slight effort, he could snap the neck as delicate as a swan's.
