There was a sound of water from the side. Ao Ying, wearing only a loose shirt, appeared sleepily next to the bathtub. She stepped forward to take the shirt Zhou Zheng had taken off and said in a daze:
"It's hard work practicing."
Zhou Zheng smiled a little tiredly and exhaled softly, as if he smelled the faint fragrance from her and felt that he was a little more energetic.
Bathing, eating, sleeping or entering meditation, these are the three things Zhou Zheng did after returning to his dormitory in the past month.
Although he has tried very hard to focus all his energy outside of practice on getting along with her, he still feels a little embarrassed after all.
——She washes and cooks for him every day, but he can't often take her to eat, drink and have fun!
"Didn't you go out to play today?" Zhou Zheng asked.
"Sister Bing also needs to practice. She can't go shopping with me every day."
Ao Ying pursed her lips. She, a little dragon who didn't need to practice, could easily be misunderstood as lazy.
It’s obviously just a different way of practicing!
She also had a hard time sleeping!
Ao Ying added: "My second brother has been trapped here for a long time. I heard from Sister Bing that Longchen is ready to have Dragon Palace come to pick him up."
Zhou Zheng walked to the sink with his upper body bare, with some thoughts in his eyes.
He had heard Ao Ying talk about these things several times during this period, and he had probably guessed something about the tacit cooperation between the Futian Alliance and the Princess of Dragon Palace.
Zhou Zheng heard from Ao Ying that the Dragon Palace's methods for developing its power were to rely on the reincarnated Sea Clan immortals, and the other to rely on the true dragon essence and blood after transforming into a dragon to enlighten the Sea Clan and directly grant strength to the opponent.
Considered from this perspective, Dragon Palace may be divided into two main factions.
For example, the Shark Demon who came over that day and wanted to humiliate him and then make a short video might have been inspired by Ao Tianyi, and he was obedient to Ao Tianyi's orders.
So, the Shark Spirit doesn’t look very smart, but he’s also ‘from the same origin’?
Longchen decided to let Ao Tianyi leave. Could it be that elder sister Ao Ying had already recruited second brother Ao Ying's men.
The power struggle between gods is quite interesting.
Zhou Zheng washed his face with water. Ao Ying was already there to help him squeeze out the toothpaste and tiptoe to bring the toothbrush to his mouth.
"Give!"
"Thanks."
"There are no holidays in special training classes," Ao Ying muttered in a low voice, "cultivation also requires a balance between work and rest. You are like a taut bow string now, and you will get tired easily."
"The special training class only lasts a few months," Zhou Zheng brushed his teeth and said vaguely, "Although it's a bit harder now, the rewards are quite big. I'm already more than ten years behind other monks, and now
You have to work harder..."
"It's only been more than ten years."
Ao Ying puffed up her lips and said confidently: "There will be a long time to come, and you will soon surpass them."
"Yes, yes, yes," Zhou Zheng held the toothpaste in his mouth, smiled and pushed her shoulder, pushing her out of the bathroom door, "Please change places first and lend me the bathtub."
Ao Ying's eyes suddenly lit up, her little face turned red, and she had a bath towel in her hand:
"Fifty yuan for a bath!"
What responded to her was the click of the door being locked.
Ao Ying made a face, then laughed proudly, tiptoed to the sofa, grabbed a fashion magazine, and began to learn more mature outfits.
In the bathroom, Zhou Zheng rinsed his mouth and looked at himself in the mirror.
He has really changed a lot in the past month or so.
My body is stronger, I seem to have grown a centimeter or two taller, my muscle lines are smoother than before, and some of the fat that originally existed in my abdomen has also been 'refined'.
The second is...
Zhou Zheng looked at the "white face" in the mirror and sighed. The soft rice business he had conceived when he was under the greatest pressure to find a job might be easily realized now.
Not long after, Zhou Zheng soaked in the newly added bath water and continued to meditate while taking a bath.
A month and a few days after the class started, Zhou Zheng successfully entered the eighth level of body training, and the magic power in his body turned from a trickle into a mountain spring and clear stream, which was continuous and extremely pure.
This month, he and Xiao Sheng became completely familiar with each other. The two of them went out to have sex every few days. Xiao Sheng shouted at Brother Zhou and told Zhou Zheng many anecdotes about heaven.
Things like [Why the Third Prince Nezha wears a short skirt], [Lei Zhenzi can’t pick up Mjolnir], [What is the effect of Feng Mu’s wind-calling bag being accidentally sprinkled with pepper powder] and so on.
Zhou Zheng has not forgotten his duties as squad leader. While practicing hard every day, he will also think about how to master the "Secret of Breathing Life" as soon as possible.
Zhou Zheng answered all the questions asked by other students about "The Art of Breathing".
But what makes Zhou Zheng feel a little frustrated is...
He was able to establish good relationships with all six female students, but his relationship with the only two male compatriots, Li Zhiyong, remained at the level of acquaintances.
Zhou Zheng is not going to force this, and the simple friendship between classmates is not bad either.
After soaking for more than half an hour, Zhou Zheng rinsed off and left the bathtub. He cleaned the bathtub again, then put on his pajamas and returned to the inner room.
Feeling tired, Zhou Zheng had a conversation with Ao Ying on the sofa and fell asleep unconsciously.
Although he has been able to meditate instead of sleeping, sleeping is still the best way to restore his energy.
But what Zhou Zheng didn’t know was;
Whenever he fell into a deep sleep and snored loudly, Ao Ying would float to the bedside, open her small mouth and spit out a crystal translucent orb, letting the orb's faint light envelope his figure.
Early the next morning, Zhou Zheng woke up full of energy, energetic and vigorous.
He casually grabbed the heart-shaped omelette on the round table and stuffed it into his mouth. He rushed to the door before turning his head and shouting:
"I'm going out!"
When Ao Ying walked out of the inner room wearing Guqun, all she saw was the door that was quickly closed.
She shook her head at the door and chuckled a few times, stretched out a little coquettishly, turned around and floated into the bathtub filled with water, turning into a small fish and sinking to the bottom.
…
"Today is the thirty-third day since you entered this place."
Bing Ning, who was wearing an ice blue dress, walked past the nine people with her hands folded and said slowly:
"The special training is divided into three stages. You have completed the early courses, and I have almost given you all the guidance and suggestions on your respective exercises.
"Next, you will be divided into three groups and begin a seven-day training. The so-called training is actually just for you to participate in the operation of Longchen City, experience the common world, and understand the meaning of your own practice.
"The mid-term course mainly teaches spells and fighting skills experience, and it also lasts for thirty-three days.
"Okay, let's form groups of three."
As soon as Bing Ning finished speaking, and before most of the students could react, Xiao Sheng sat down next to Zhou Zheng and raised his eyebrows at the other students who looked over.
Bing Ning looked at Zhou Zheng with a hint of inquiry in her eyes; Zhou Zheng nodded with a smile and agreed to be in the same group as Xiao Sheng.
Xiao Sheng rolled his eyes.
He is obviously the one with the highest cultivation level in the class. Although others have more or less broken through the second or third level in the past month or so, his state is very stable.
The grouping was completed quickly. The six female students formed the 331 team. Li Zhiyong made the last move and naturally stood behind Zhou Zheng and Xiao Sheng.
Bing Ning continued:
"I have selected three experienced team captains for you. They are all at the level of Shenying Realm. They are already waiting for you in the hotel lobby.
"They will regard you as normal team members, going out on patrol to search for troublesome demons.
"Seven days later, when you return here, you need to answer a question from me. If you cannot answer it, you will not be able to participate in the subsequent practice.
"The question is, why do you practice? The answer is uncertain."
After saying that, Bing Ning's figure flashed with fairy light, turned into ice crystals and disappeared, leaving only nine of them staring at each other.
"There were indeed two internships in the previous training classes. I heard my sister at home talk about it."
"When you answer the teacher's questions, don't pick out nice things to say."
Yue Wushuang from Yue Sword Immortal Sect warned: "My senior sister, in that issue, someone kept talking about a lot of lofty and upright principles, but the teacher drove him away directly.
“You can say whatever is on your mind. It doesn’t matter how outrageous the reason for practicing is. You must follow your true heart.
"Oh, yes, it's absolutely not possible to violate ethical reasons!"
Everyone nodded and thought carefully.
A girl asked: "Monitor, are we going down right now?"
"You guys get off first," Zhou Zheng said with a smile, "I'm going to pack my things. If I'm going out for seven days, I'll also bring some changes of clothes."
"Squad leader, don't you have a storage weapon yet?"
"Squad leader, I have extra storage instruments here. If you praise me, I can give them to you!"
"Hey, hey! What are you doing?"
Xiao Sheng put his hands behind his back and maintained a casual sitting posture.
"Our squad leader still needs you to worry about us? Come on!"
He rubbed his fingers on the big gold chain around his neck a few times, pulled out another big gold chain, and said with dignity:
"The best storage magic weapon can store almost nine cubes! Nine! Monitor, I will make do with it for now. I will make a more stylish one for you another day! I will make a string of cultural toys for you to put around your neck!"
"this?"
Zhou Zheng's forehead was covered with black lines, and the six female students were smiling broadly.
Li Zhiyong, who had always been serious about his words, also laughed twice and stood aside without participating in their conversation.
Although, Zhou Zheng still declined Xiao Sheng's big gold chain in the end.
The storage magic weapon is valuable. Now he can go to the fairy bathing center and get a storage magic weapon with a smaller space, so he doesn't have to be so arrogant.
The main reason why he had to go back to the dormitory once was to tell Xiaoyu.
Zhou Zheng thought carefully and decided that it would be unsightly to let Xiaoyu follow him around. It would be better to let her stay here for a few days. Anyway, the safety of the training base is guaranteed, and it is only a few steps away from the Bing Ning Immortal.
Although Ao Ying was a little reluctant, she still agreed obediently.
By the time Zhou Zheng returned to the elevator with his hiking bag on his back, six female students had already taken the lead.
Xiao Sheng and Li Zhiyong stood a few meters apart.
The former is a bit bored, yawning constantly, with tears in his eyes. The yellow burrs and the big gold chain around his neck make it difficult to handle at first glance.
The latter had his hands in his trouser pockets and a slight smile on his lips, giving people a mature, stable and friendly feeling.
In fact, when these two people got along, Zhou Zheng had completely opposite feelings.
Xiao Sheng is very carefree and can get to know people quickly;
Li Zhiyong always maintains a certain sense of distance, not far away, but not close either.
Zhou Zheng greeted: "I've been waiting for a long time. I've been waiting for a long time."
Li Zhiyong smiled and nodded, opened the elevator in front of him, and the three of them filed in.
Xiao Sheng chuckled: "My connections are pretty good. I'll go talk to the captain who will lead us later and ask him to arrange some easy work for us. We can find a place to enjoy the scenery for a few days and then come back."
"If you can do something, you should do something," Zhou Zheng said sternly, "We have enjoyed too many resources, and we have to give something."
Li Zhiyong said: "The squad leader is right. The purpose of this kind of trial is to keep us close to the world. We should not practice just for the sake of practice."
"Indeed," Zhou Zheng responded with a smile. He was already worried about whether Ao Ying would have problems if she was left alone, and whether he should send a message to the Bing Ning Immortal.
The elevator door opened, and six female students appeared in the hotel lobby. They were dressed young and beautiful, and they were surrounded by two middle-aged women wearing dark blue uniforms.
Apparently the team leader has already been chosen.
Beside them, there was a two-meter-tall tall man standing with his hands behind his back, facing away from the elevator.
Zhou Zheng blinked and called out tentatively: "Captain Feng?"
Feng Bugui, who was bored, turned around and was startled when he saw Zhou Zheng. Then he smiled and opened his scarred eyebrows.
"Oh! Why are you here!"
…
At the same moment, inside Xiaoyue's office.
Xiaoyue maintained a standing posture, holding the golf club with her two front paws, and hit the white ball on the narrow green lawn in front of her toward the hole in front.
This elegant movement.
On the sofa, Feng Tong, who was wearing a fiery red tight-fitting combat uniform, was sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed, boredly flipping through the map in front of her.
"Team Paw, Team Paw—"
The cell phone on the desk was ringing at full volume.
Xiaoyue turned around and jumped over. She was startled when she saw the avatar on the screen. After a little hesitation, she cleared her throat and clicked the connect button.
"Hello?" Xiao Yue responded nervously.
"Three shoots on the moon?"
"Well, it's me," Xiaoyue's voice was deliberately lowered, "Wind across Kyushu?"
"Yes," the other person agreed with a smile, "I remember you were in Longchen, right? I really miss the years when we played games together, even though we were both relatively good at it."
Xiao Yue glanced at Feng Tong guiltily.
The latter sneered, not even bothering to raise his head.
"Then what," Xiaoyue muttered, "What's going on? What's the matter? Say hello if you need anything."
"I'm here in Longchen. I'm going to have a date first, and then we can go out to the Internet cafe and have some sex?"
"Not this one……"
"Why, it's my mother-in-law's. It's settled. I'll see you when I'm done with my work here. I'll hang up first."
beep!
Looking at the phone screen, Xiaoyue's dog's head was covered with black lines, and the dog was a little at a loss.
On the urban viaduct, which is only a few kilometers away from the Immortal Bathing Center in a straight line, a yellow taxi was driving slowly in the traffic.
Feng Qing hung up the call and was playing with the latest model of mobile phone in his hand. The tuxedo on his body and the roses in his arms made him look so elegant, just like the prince who walked out of a fairy tale.
Of course, he is also a king, just a demon king.
The agreed meeting place was decided upon by the two of them after discussion. There is Xingfu Street in Longchen City, which is said to be an internet celebrity attraction.
