The sky was still dark, the moonlight like water, illuminating the window, and the room was bathed in a faint light.
Chu Li slowly practiced the Vajra Deliverance Divine Skill in the west wing, performing thirty-six postures in sequence, his mind calm and undisturbed, without form or self.
Only when the mind reaches this state do the movements have an effect; if the mind is not calm, no matter how much one practices, it is useless, and one cannot cultivate the Vajra Deliverance Divine Skill.
The thirty-six postures caused a strange energy to flow with the movements, washing over all his skin, and finally the energy penetrated the skin, merging with it.
Through the Great Mirror Wisdom, he saw that his skin had been altered by this energy, becoming even tighter and more elastic.
He felt an immense strength, as if one punch could break the sky.
He knew it was an illusion, but the Vajra Deliverance Divine Skill indeed enhanced his strength. After practicing for about ten days, his strength had increased by half, which was astonishing. He wondered what other miraculous effects it would have later.
While practicing, a faint golden light flowed over his skin, presenting the same unusual appearance as the chief of the Tiger Gang. Chu Li could determine that this guy had only learned the surface of the Vajra Deliverance Divine Skill.
The Vajra Deliverance Divine Skill was like a pearl cast in the dark on him. If he had practiced it well, he would have been completely helpless against him. His strength would have greatly increased, and his speed would naturally have become faster, especially his explosive power, which would be hard to guard against. Yet, the chief of the Tiger Gang couldn't even defeat him, disgracing the Vajra Deliverance Divine Skill.
Thinking about this, Chu Li became even more wary of the Great Thunder Sound Temple. Such a divine skill, once mastered, would be of unknown power. A Great Thunder Sound Temple with such martial arts would be terrifying!
He also felt secretly pleased. The most important aspect of the Vajra Deliverance Divine Skill was the Zen meditation. The deeper the Zen meditation, the faster the strange energy flowed. If the Zen meditation was shallow, the internal energy would be intermittent, making it almost impossible to cultivate.
He had the Great Mirror Wisdom, and his Zen meditation was very deep, making his cultivation smooth and effortless.
From morning to night, he practiced, eating in between and immediately returning to his room to continue. He didn't let Li Yue see, to prevent him from getting itchy and secretly practicing, which could be disastrous.
The room was dim, filled with a rosy light.
Just as he was about to leave the room, he heard light footsteps outside, accompanied by a faint fragrance. Su Ru stood at his window and looked in: "Chu Li, let's go, take me for a walk in the city!"
"Yes." Chu Li left the west wing.
The two left through the south gate of the mansion and went directly to Chongming City.
The setting sun cast a rosy glow over the entire city, with wisps of smoke rising, adding a scent of burning firewood and a touch of life, making Chu Li vividly feel the reality of this world, truly alive, not just a dream.
Su Ru, dressed in a light apricot robe, strolled leisurely down the street: "Look around, which shop is suitable. We'll decide today."
Chu Li raised an eyebrow; today they were to choose a shop for the restaurant.
The two circled Chongming City, and Chu Li selected two shops that were not on the main street, separated by a side street, with few people around.
He thought this place was suitable. One, it was quiet; two, good wine needs no bush. In this era, as long as the food was good, there would be no shortage of customers.
After selecting the shops, night had already fallen, and the stars were twinkling.
The two went to Baiyun Tower, the best restaurant in Chongming City.
The waiter at the entrance saw Su Ru and hurriedly welcomed them: "Manager Su, I greet you. Please come in!"
Su Ru waved her hand: "Just give us a seat on the second floor."
"Yes, I'll lead the way." The quick-witted waiter nodded and led them to a seat on the second floor.
He looked at the seats by the window and whispered: "Manager, would you like me to clear out two good seats?"
"No, this one is fine." Su Ru said.
Their seat was far from the window, and the surrounding seats were full, making it quite noisy.
Su Ru sat down without changing her expression: "Follow the old rules. Bring a jar of good wine and six signature dishes, quickly."
"Yes, right away!" The waiter nodded.
Chu Li glanced around and frowned. What a coincidence.
The people at the opposite table looked up, their faces darkening, but then they saw Su Ru and hurriedly stood up: "Zhuo Feiyang greets Manager Su!"
Zhuo Feiyang was accompanied by Bai Zhijie, who also bowed and greeted him.
Su Ru waved her hand: "No need for formalities. We're all here to eat. Go ahead and eat."
"Yes." The two retreated and returned to their seats, but they moved more quietly.
Su Ru glanced at Chu Li and smiled: "Isn't it true that enemies always meet? What a coincidence!"
"He always eats here, so it's normal to run into him." Chu Li said.
Zhuo Feiyang enjoyed luxury and treated himself well, paying his guards generously, so he was never short of money. Moreover, his family was very wealthy, so he almost ate three meals a day at Baiyun Tower, the best restaurant in Chongming City, which was expensive and beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Su Ru shook her head and smiled: "Do you really want him as a guard?"
"No." Chu Li shook his head: "He wants to kill me. Making him a guard would be like inviting a wolf into your home!"
"You finally understand." Su Ru nodded: "Choosing a guard must not be taken lightly. A slight mistake can cost you your life. By the way, how is your progress with Zhao Ying?"
"Pretty good."
"Didn't you seize such a good opportunity?" Su Ru smiled: "You were alone together for a month. Didn't anything happen?"
"No." Chu Li shook his head.
Su Ru rolled her eyes and huffed: "You're really useless!"
Chu Li smiled bitterly: "Manager, Zhao Ying isn't that kind of person. Don't scare her."
"You..." Su Ru shook her head and sighed: "You're too honest. You seem smart, but why are you so awkward?"
Chu Li smiled sheepishly: "I've never been with a woman before."
"You get along well with us." Su Ru smiled: "You're always composed and dignified in front of the young lady, the first one to do so!"
The young lady was stunningly beautiful, her presence like a tangible force, which men were naturally powerless against. No man could remain composed in front of her.
Chu Li shook his head: "I can be relaxed with the young lady and Manager because I know my place and have no improper thoughts. It's different with her."
"Is that so..." Su Ru nodded: "Do you think Zhao Ying will look down on you?"
"Of course not!" Chu Li shook his head.
"Ah... Next time then. I'll try to get you another mission together." Su Ru smiled.
The two were seated next to Zhuo Feiyang. Despite the noise around them, Chu Li could still hear their conversation.
He soon realized they were talking about Zhao Ying. His heart sank. They had been on a mission together! Recalling Zhao Ying's behavior after she returned, he understood that she had developed feelings for Chu Li!
