Simultaneous Travel: Becoming a Legend in the Heavens.

Chapter 246 Stop it, you can't keep Xiaoyu under control

"I'm sorry, unless the owner of the collection agrees, we can't guarantee that we can let you out in a short time."

Officer Blake on the phone spoke to Jackie Chan apologetically. Not to mention that they were good friends in private, Jackie Chan was arrested because he helped them find the talisman in official business. Now that something happened and he couldn't get him out, he felt very ashamed.

"It's okay, I'll just take it as a vacation."

Jackie Chan, who was holding the phone behind the glass wall, sighed, "Stealing is not something that should be encouraged, and..."

He said a little embarrassedly: "I really didn't return anything to others."

There really is a reason for this. Every time he borrows something, it's basically a chase. In such a highly tense and fast-moving situation, how can he remember where the owners are? He can't find anyone when he wants to compensate them.

"I will never borrow things from others again!"

Blake's right eyebrow twitched upwards, "I believe you, my good friend."

Whether you really believe it or not, let me just say this first.

"I'll just take a few days off to rest. Please help me keep an eye on Xiaoyu during this time."

Jackie Chan always felt that Xiaoyu might really be able to do something like a prison break, which would be too terrifying.

"No problem, I'll be fine..."

Brian looked back, his body frozen in place, his voice trembling a little, he exhaled, "Something happened here, I'll call you later."

After saying that, he hung up the phone without waiting for Jackie Chan to refuse, and felt a headache when he looked at the empty corridor.

Xiaoyu, who was just beside him, had disappeared at some point.

Probably left by taking the stairs!
Blake especially wanted to ask, can humans really keep an eye on a creature like Xiaoyu?

……

"Luke, I need your help!"

Xiaoyu has always been extremely active. The reason why it is called a characteristic rather than an advantage is because she has caused a lot of trouble and achieved a lot of merits.

After leaving District 13, she quickly found her reliable friend, her tone anxious.

"Come with me to rescue Uncle Long, he is in danger!"

Lu Ke, who was designing the style of a staff in the room, put away the drawings and listened to Xiaoyu quickly recount what had happened, and then calmly comforted her.

"Don't worry, Uncle Long is so skilled in martial arts that he won't be picked up by soap."

"What soap?"

Xiaoyu didn't understand what he meant at all and said in a serious tone, "The guy who framed him and put him in jail is from the mafia. He must have some ulterior motive. I think he is probably thinking about how to kill Uncle Long in jail."

This kind of plot is often shown in TV dramas!
"probably not."

Lu Ke thought about it and concluded that his evil side was just one with magnified desires, a lower sense of morality, and a tendency to indulge himself. He might be more playful than usual, but it would be unlikely for him to kill his favorite character from childhood.

And it's not easy to persuade him either. The evil side is not a clone, and it is more special than the half of God. The good and evil, yin and yang sides are equal, and they enjoy equal status.

"Let's put it this way. If Uncle Long is not released within three days, I will think of another way."

"Three days is so long?" Xiaoyu seemed very confused.

"Xiaoyu, you should learn more about law."

Lu Ke said calmly, "The crime of theft is not that scary, but escaping from prison is different. Uncle Long is also a non-staff member of District 13. It shouldn't be difficult to get out after a while if we communicate with the higher-ups. But if you make things worse, the situation will be different."

"All right……"

Xiaoyu couldn't help biting her nails. After a few seconds, she looked up and looked at Lu Ke with a pleading look.

"But I'm so confused right now, I can't calm down at all."

If she hadn't appeared suddenly, Uncle Long might not have discovered the female thief, could have left earlier, and wouldn't be in jail now.

"Perhaps you need a little help."

Lu Ke relaxed his body, stretched out his index finger and pressed it on Xiaoyu's brow, and a feeling of great tranquility came over him.

There is no joy or sorrow, no thoughts or ideas, the body and mind seem to be away from all worldly noise and return to the most original purity.

Even the anxious Xiaoyu calmed down at this moment and her restless heart quietly disintegrated.

After a while, Luke withdrew his index finger and smiled at her gently: "How do you feel now?"

"Amazing."

Xiaoyu's tone was calm but with surprise, a change from her usual liveliness. She recalled the feeling just now and asked.

"what is that?"

"Quietness training is a method of improving one's mind. What I just showed you was the second level of Quietness training as divided by the sorcerers - happiness arising from concentration. Above that, there is the bliss of detachment from life and the purity of letting go of thoughts."

Lu Ke's tone was flat. After separating the evil side, he became exceptionally pure. He believed that the other side was the same, probably similar to the feeling of the Shushan elders in The Legend of Sword and Fairy III after they were stripped of their evil thoughts.

In this state, the meditation practice unconsciously improves, which is a method that other Lukes do not pay much attention to or practice. Meditation can make people better control their emotions and abandon excessive emotions, but most Lukes actually enjoy the fluctuations of emotions because it makes them more human.

Since the body has gradually become less human, at least the mentality should maintain humanity.

It’s not to say that elevating one’s thinking and getting rid of low-level desires is a bad thing, but Lukes still feel that even if they are greedy, lustful, lazy, playful and have bad tastes, these aspects are also part of Luke.

Therefore, even Lu Ke, the strange man who originated the Jing Gong, seldom practiced this kind of exercises.

"Xiaoyu, do you want to learn Jinggong?"

Xiaoyu, who was in a calm state, thought for a moment and shook her head, "Forget it. I feel like I'm not myself now."

Luke nodded slightly, "Indeed."

He also found it hard to imagine what Xiaoyu would be like now that she had practiced meditation and was no longer lively.

……

Commercial building, private swimming pool.

A slender figure swam in the swimming pool, feeling the warm water flowing over the body, enjoying the pleasure of having the pool all to herself, until she stopped when her energy was almost exhausted.

As soon as she climbed out of the swimming pool, two servants wrapped the little snake in a soft towel. Then there was a comfortable and luxurious lounge chair. A small table next to it was already filled with processed tropical fruits. Standing next to it were two senior female masseuses who were ready to go and gave her a sincere smile.

“It’s my pleasure to be of service to you.”

The masseuse's skills were very good. The little snake, who had been massaged until her whole body was relaxed, squinted her eyes comfortably. The place was magnificent and golden everywhere. Even the nice-smelling essential oils and aromatherapy had an expensive scent. Several experienced manicurists were trimming her nails, and seven or eight people were surrounding her to serve her.

"I never thought I could be treated like this. Is every day so extravagant for you?"

Lu Xie, who was treated in the same manner, was wearing a pair of light blue beach pants and basking in the sun. Hearing this, he replied lazily.

“No, it just started a while ago.”

It started when he robbed the Holy Lord and stole the Golden Rooster King’s treasure.

It feels great to spend money, and it feels even better to spend other people’s money.

“It always feels like such a waste.”

The little snake hummed softly, felt its body being stretched by the massage, and turned over.

“I won’t go to hell.”

"Many industries in this era have not yet developed, and the enjoyment we have now is nothing at all. Moreover, you are not qualified to go to hell. Those who are imprisoned there are all ancient demons."

"Demon? You are such a grown man and still believe in this. Are you smaller than I thought?"

Xiao She spoke with a little curiosity. She always felt that there was a subtle sense of incongruity in what Lu Xie said. In short, it didn't sound like something a normal person would say.

"My age is hard to calculate. My current body is based on the standard of 18 years old. My mental age is in my 30s. But if I add in some random memories, I'm about 500 years old."

Lu Xie waved away the hand that was reaching for his crotch and gave a warning glance to the good-looking but somewhat embarrassed masseuse. The coldness in his eyes made the woman who was trying to take a shortcut take a step back, not daring to overstep her boundaries again.

Then he said to the little snake calmly: "The essence of civilization is waste. Enjoying the limited time is the lifestyle I choose. Being unconstrained is a very refreshing way of life. I suggest you try it too."

After merging with the kind-hearted Lu Ke, he will not maintain this mentality or choose this lifestyle, so he still wants to enjoy more in the limited time.

Witnessing what had just happened, the little snake lowered his sunglasses, revealing his beautiful brown eyes.

"You don't look too indulgent either. Is it because I'm here?"

You have to know that they just became a couple, and it was achieved by Lu Xie's means of half coercion and half inducement. However, Xiao She didn't hate him. After all, the man in front of her was outstanding in all aspects, very rich and willing to spend money.

“Being unrestrained and being uninhibited are two different things. People are the masters of their desires, not their captives. We must distinguish between the primary and the secondary.”

Lu Xie raised his hand to indicate that the care was over, and the service staff withdrew.

Then it was lunch time. The little snake sat at the dining table with great anticipation, watching the expensive and exquisite dishes being served.

"Today's lunch is red pear salad with goat cheese, Maine lobster and beef tenderloin, apple pie and lemon juice, and a three-piece set of French foie gras, black truffles and caviar."

The chef, whom the little snake had never seen before, kept telling the little snake the stories behind the lunch dishes. Although the story was drowsy and very artificial, the little snake had to admit that the process made him feel that his vanity was satisfied.

"Just eat it directly. Pick out what you like and take away what you don't like. You can tell the chef in advance what you want to eat next time."

Lu Xie put the food into his mouth with a bit of disgust. It wasn't that the chef's skills were bad, but compared to him with the memories of Food Wars: Food Wars: Luke Shokugeki, apart from the food he cooked, most of the chefs were dregs who wasted food in his eyes.

But cooking for himself was out of the question, and he refused to do it himself.

The little snake, who had been squatting in a certain spot for a long time to steal things, was not so picky. She ate with great relish, praising the chef's cooking skills from time to time, and only stopped when she was about 70% full.

After a simple walk to help digest the food, the little snake took a bath to wash off the remaining smell on his body, put on a loose bathrobe, and rocked on the soft and luxurious big bed, sighing from the bottom of his heart.

“This is paradise.”

This kind of life was something she had never experienced when she was a petty thief, and she felt she could never go back.

Rich people are not as happy as you think? The happiness of being rich is beyond your imagination!
