Chapter 189 The Glass Boy Comes to Help You (Part 2)

Early the next morning.

When Chu Nai woke up, she found herself all alone.

She paused for a couple of seconds before getting out of bed.

As soon as I stepped out of the master bedroom, I saw a sumptuous breakfast laid out on the dining table, including fried dough sticks, steamed buns, glutinous rice balls, soy milk, and milk.

The aroma whetted Chu Nai's appetite.

"Are you up?" Wang Xi brought two bowls of white porridge from the kitchen and said with a smile, "Go wash up. I bought you a new toothbrush, water cup, and towel."

Chu Nai felt a warmth in her heart: "Thank you, Brother Xi."

She knew that the other party had gotten up early to prepare all of this.

Upon entering the restroom, Chu Nai saw a milky-white water glass on the sink, with a cartoon image of a silly goose printed on it.

Even the toothbrush and towel seem to be the same model.

“Childish…” Chu Nai muttered, but couldn’t suppress a smile.

After she finished washing up, the two of them and the cat had breakfast together, creating a strangely warm and tranquil atmosphere.

After a while.

As the bright morning sun shone, Wang Xi drove the hovercar provided to him by Cupid Housekeeping to take Chu Nai to work at the headquarters of the Central District Overlooking Bureau.

Before getting off the bus, he handed two bags to Chu Nai, which contained local specialties he had brought back from Lucheng.

This thoughtful gesture brought a smile to the silver-haired girl's face.

"I'm going to work." She took a few steps up the steps, then turned back and waved to Wang Xi in the car. "Take care on the road, Brother Xi."

"Yeah, let's do our best today too."

Wang Xi responded with a smile.

Chu Nai chuckled and strode happily into the gate of the Overlooking Bureau.

She couldn't help but think: how peaceful and happy it would be if every day could be like this.

Only after Chu Nai's figure had completely disappeared did Wang Xi drive away.

He first went to Cupid Housekeeping to sign the new contract before returning home.

"Master, it's so hot!"

Liuli, panting with her tongue lolling out, held an ice-cold bottle of soda in her hands and slumped on the sofa like her owner.

She opened her large, watery heterochromatic eyes and pleaded pitifully, "Kind master, could you please turn on that magic ice-making device like you did yesterday? Please..."

Seeing this, Wang Xi sighed inwardly, calling him a spendthrift cat.

He picked up the air conditioner remote and pressed a button.

drop.

"It feels so cool and refreshing!"

The computer was idling, blowing out a cold breeze, and Liuli couldn't help but squint her eyes and start snoring.

Wang Xi shook his head, got up to close the window, and thought to himself: It's time to go and see the Mysterious Realm.

He suddenly thought of Shen Miaowei, the eldest daughter of the Shen family, who lived in Pinghai City in the north.

Since his first arrival in the Mysterious Realm, he had not been in contact with them and did not know what their situation was after several months.

Thinking of this, Wang Xi closed his eyes and called out into the darkness through the narrow rift in Chaos, "Miaowei?"

At this moment.

The doors of the Shen family mansion in Pinghai City, northern China, were tightly shut, and the servants and stewards inside were filled with anxiety.

In the bedroom on the second floor of the small villa, a plump middle-aged woman with her hair up and wearing a blue jacket and skirt was earnestly advising:
"Young Miss, there are far too many rioters outside. The entire eastern part of the city has almost fallen. I recently heard that members of the 'Lotus Party' are taking advantage of the situation and have even turned many mid-level generals against them. It's too dangerous. You mustn't go out!"

“Aunt Huang, but…”

Shen Miaowei hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

Since last month, Pinghai City has been in chaos. The already chaotic eastern part of the city suddenly erupted into large-scale armed clashes and killings, and the interference of the cult "Lotus Party" has caused major families and upper-class people to stay at home.

The police alone were completely unable to control the spread of the situation, and most of the troops left by the Northern Union government in Pinghai City were transferred out, leaving only a mere 20,000.

There was also a mishap among these 20,000 troops.

This led to the situation deteriorating further.

Shen Miaowei hasn't left the house for a whole month and is almost going stir-crazy.

At that moment, her keen senses suddenly detected something. She was startled at first, then a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"Okay, I get it."

Shen Miaowei practically pushed Huang Ma out of the bedroom.

"Thank you for your concern, Aunt Huang. I'm not going out. I want to take a nap now."

Click.

Wait for the door to close.

Shen Miaowei quickly walked to the bedside, took out the scroll from under the pillow, and spread it out on the bed, revealing the portrait of the young man on it.

Suppressing her excitement, she curtsied and said, "Disciple Miaowei greets Master."

Master?

Wang Xi, who was lying on the sofa, was taken aback.

Why don't you call me "Immortal" anymore, and instead address me as "Master"?

Because of his spreading of the Dharma?

Through a crack in his mind, Wang Xi saw a woman in a cheongsam whose cheeks were flushed with emotion.

"Shen Miaowei (Friendly/3 Stars/Elite)"

'Huh? After a few months, it's gone from a blank one-star rating to a bronze three-star rating?!'

Wang Xi was quite surprised.

This girl's talent for cultivation is truly terrifying; she taught herself everything from just a single incantation...

He asked, "Miaowei, how is your cultivation?"

Seeing that the immortal hadn't rejected her address, Shen Miaowei was overjoyed. A smile revealed her dimples, and her tone carried a yearning for her teacher's praise: "Though this disciple is dull-witted, I haven't slacked off. At the end of last month, I successfully opened up the nine palaces of my body and mastered the 'Nine Rhymes of Pear Garden Opera'!"

This is equivalent to mastering the art.

Wang Xi couldn't help but sigh, aside from the fact that she couldn't be branded, Shen Miaowei was equivalent to a top-notch external martial arts master based on this alone.

“Not bad.” A gentle laugh came from the portrait. “You have successfully taken the first step in mastering power and taking control of your own destiny.”

Following that, Shen Miaowei, as was customary, reported the events of the past few days to her master.

The article mentions the current chaotic situation in Pinghai City, suggesting that if things continue like this, it will likely become even more dangerous.

"When the heavens go against the seasons, disasters occur; when the earth goes against its nature, monsters appear; when the people go against their virtue, chaos ensues. Chaos breeds monsters and disasters."

Wang Xi quoted the peddler directly, speaking leisurely.

Shen Miaowei was stunned, feeling that her master's image was becoming more and more mysterious and lofty.

“Miaowei, although you have now opened up the Nine Palaces Ox, chaos is frequently occurring. There may be evil forces causing trouble in Pinghai City... With your current strength, you are still not enough to protect yourself.”

"The work of a demon?!"

Shen Miaowei was startled.

Immediately, she asked with anticipation, "Master, are you about to impart the true cultivation method to Miaowei?"

Wang Xi stroked his chin.

He does indeed intend to continue spreading the Dharma.

Shen Miaowei has a special identity and amazing talent for cultivation. Perhaps she can be nurtured and become his helper in the Mystic Realm in the future.

The problem is, he himself isn't a cultivator, so how can he impart the true methods of cultivation...?

You have to eat one bite at a time, and walk one step at a time!
What should I send?
"Nine Rhymes of Iron Armor Opera"?
This is a complete external martial arts technique that can complete the Two-Element Tiger technique that Shen Miaowei has not yet mastered.

The problem is that practicing the Yang energy to temper the Yin energy is completely unsuitable for her after the fusion.

That's simply nonsense.

So there's only one option left.

"Hmm..." The portrait pondered for a moment, then continued, "Before embarking on the true path of cultivation, Miaowei needs to know the four realms: Refining Essence into Qi, Refining Qi into Spirit, Refining Spirit to Return to Emptiness, and Returning to Emptiness to Unite with the Dao..."

Wang Xi then recounted to Shen Miaowei the secrets of cultivation he had obtained from the peddler.

This sermon lasted for nearly half an hour.

Shen Miaowei listened with rapt attention.

Finally, Wang Xi said, "I will first pass on to you the 'Peach Blossom Mountain Travel Guide,' which will help you refine your internal organs and achieve the state of 'Five Qi Returning to the Origin' and 'Three Flowers Gathering at the Top.' Only with a abundant primordial spirit can you glimpse the three souls and seven spirits and embark on the path of cultivation."

"Miaowei will remember this!"

The woman in the cheongsam bowed deeply.

She took out paper and pen and copied down the entire "Peach Blossom Mountain Travelogue" dictated by Wang Xi.

This internal martial arts manual has even fewer characters than "Liyuan Nine Rhymes Opera," with only about five hundred characters.

After putting down her pen, Shen Miaowei silently recited the text once, and exclaimed in amazement: "It is actually a method of cultivating the five internal organs and refining the primordial spirit through calligraphy... What a profound technique."

"Moreover, the account of dreaming about entering Peach Blossom Mountain is quite wondrous. Master, are there truly blessed lands and grotto-heavens in this world?"

"That's for you to discover in the future."

A meaningful voice came from the portrait.

In truth, Wang Xi didn't know either. He then asked, "How is Miaowei's calligraphy?"

The woman in the cheongsam blushed and said, "Although calligraphy and painting are inseparable, Miaowei's calligraphy is only passable and far inferior to the level of the masters."

“Then I will teach you another technique,” ​​Wang Xi said. “It differs from the internal martial arts techniques in the ‘Peach Blossom Mountain Travelogue’. It integrates the striking techniques of fists, palms, legs, and staffs, and is called ‘Mountains and Rivers in One Stroke.’ The two complement each other.”

"If you can master this skill, you will become a grandmaster in the human world, and ordinary firearms and even armies will be unable to harm you."

Shen Miaowei was overjoyed: "Thank you, Master, for imparting the Dharma!"

After a while.

The woman in the cheongsam held a stack of copied papers as if they were a precious treasure, blowing on them gently to try and make the ink stains dry quickly.

Just as Wang Xi was about to say a few words of encouragement and end the cross-border online chat.

Shen Miaowei's door was suddenly banged on.

Bang bang bang!
Huang Ma's anxious voice came from outside the door: "Miss, something terrible has happened! A mob has suddenly started storming the Shen residence! The guards left by the master are almost unable to hold them off!"

"Um?!"

Shen Miaowei was startled.

She forced herself to calm down.

After this period of training and tempering, Shen Miaowei's character has quietly transformed. As her strength steadily improves, she has gradually shed her former fragility, replacing it with an increasingly calm and resolute attitude.

Shen Miaowei opened the door.

A middle-aged woman and a young maid were standing outside.

It was Huang Ma and Xiao Yu.

"Don't panic, Aunt Huang." Shen Miaowei took a deep breath. "Have Uncle Zhang organize the servants and guards to protect the front yard. I'll be right there."

The "Uncle Zhang" she mentioned was named Zhang Xuan, who was Shen's father's former adjutant. He became disabled in the leg after taking a bullet for Shen's father and later stayed at the Shen family as a steward.

"Okay, Miss." Aunt Huang quickly agreed and hurried away.

Shen Miaowei told Xiaoyu to wait outside the door, while she quickly returned to the bedside.

She leaned closer to the painting and whispered:
"Master, what should we do about Miaowei?"

At this moment, Wang Xi thought of the strange things that had recently happened in Pinghai City and felt that Shen Miaowei's bronze-framed three-star strength alone might not be enough to deal with her.

'Caus, can the Gap pass a wild card?'

Wang Xi asked silently.

Soon, the rift spewed out a stream of information.

He raised an eyebrow.

'It actually works!'

Wang Xi had tried it before. Although he could communicate across worlds using Shen Miaowei's portrait as a medium, he couldn't transfer items, just like he couldn't carry any items between the two worlds.

The only exception is the wild card.

At this moment, Shen Miaowei suddenly heard the young man's calm voice coming from the portrait: "My incarnation is still in the midst of the tribulations of the mortal world, so let my attendant protect you."

"The pageboy?!"

Shen Miaowei's mouth gaped open, utterly astonished.

At that moment, Wang Xi turned his head to look at the cat beside him, who was dozing off with its eyes half-closed, holding an empty soda bottle.

He picked it up in one swift motion.

Liuli woke up with a start: "What are you doing, Master?"

"My dear Liuli, go and protect someone for me."

"what?"

Before Liuli could even ask a question, Wang Xi put her back into the Wild Card and then tossed her into the cracks of his mind.

Shen Miaowei, who was sitting by the bed in the bedroom, suddenly saw a strange blue "talisman" appear out of thin air on the portrait, which then transformed into a calico cat and landed lightly.

A voice drifted from the portrait: "Its name is the Glass Child. Go."

Crack!

Crackling!

Gunshots suddenly rang out outside the window. Shen Miaowei had no time to ask questions and had no choice but to put the scroll away and carry it with her.

"Meow?!"

Liuli kicked wildly with her four paws and fell onto the embroidered carpet, where she bumped into a stunningly beautiful woman in a moon-white cheongsam.

Shen Miaowei stared blankly at the suddenly appearing calico cat, and hesitated before saying, "You are the one Master was talking about..."

Before she could finish speaking, a loud crash came from outside the window as the gate of the mansion was struck.

Shen Miaowei quickly walked to the window, pushed it open, and took a look.

In the front yard, the main gate had been smashed open, and the defensive line of twenty guards was crumbling. Butler Uncle Zhang, leaning on his cane, stood by the fountain, his voice booming:

"Guard the front yard! We absolutely cannot let those mad dogs outside storm the mansion!"

The mob surged through the wrought iron gate like a tidal wave.

The burly man at the front had bloodshot eyes and smashed a guard's skull with a shovel, denting it.

boom! boom! boom!
The guards had already opened fire on the orders of the butler, Zhang Xuan, but the mob was fearless and rushed in like madmen.

"not good!"

Shen Miaowei realized something was wrong.

She turned around and bowed deeply to the bewildered calico cat: "Please come down with me, Crystal Boy."

"Okay, meow."

Immediately afterwards, the person and the cat quickly left the bedroom.

When passing by the maid Xiaoyu, Shen Miaowei instructed her not to go out and to stay obediently in the Western-style building.

The latter timidly agreed, then nervously added, "Miss, you must be careful, please don't let anything happen!"

As Shen Miaowei walked out of the small villa, she saw a man in black raise a Mauser pistol in the crowd of rioters. With a bang, the bullet pierced the chest of the guard next to Uncle Zhang.

Amid cries of alarm, the guard clutched his chest and collapsed.

"Stop it all!"

The clear, forceful shout caused the ginkgo leaves in the courtyard to fall in a flurry.

The mob hesitated slightly, but a refined-looking man with round-framed glasses grinned and raised his gun: "Miss Shen, what a display of official power! Your father embezzled enough military funds to buy this luxurious mansion. He deserves to die..."

Before he could finish speaking, the man had already pulled the trigger.

boom!
Flames erupted!

Shen Miaowei was startled, completely unprepared for the man to suddenly fire a gun.

She instinctively tried to dodge, but the bullet was blocked in front of her.

when!
A resounding clang.

Liuli had already transformed into her battle form at some point, wearing a flat, round iron helmet and iron boots, standing upright and wielding a huge chainsaw that made a loud rumbling sound.

It was it that used its chainsaw to stop the bullet!
The entire audience was stunned. Even Shen Miaowei was astonished. How could the attendant under her master's command be so fierce?
The bespectacled man was about to fire again when he heard a beep as the red laser beam fired by Liuli pierced his chest and he collapsed to the ground.

now.

Wang Xizheng used the painting scroll as a medium to observe the environment of the front yard with his primordial spirit.

'These mobs are definitely not right.'

He secretly thought.

"Pinghai City Residents (Demonized/Mortal Enemy/One Star)"

Shen Miaowei also discovered that these rioters were very strange, filled with a violent aura, and fearless of death.

Uncle Zhang suddenly shouted sharply, "Miss, be careful!"

Five mobs with bloodshot eyes rushed at the same time.

Liuli's chainsaw hummed, but she moved faster than Shen Miaowei, taking the initiative to meet her.

呲味——

Before the five men even reached the steps of the Western-style building, they were already decapitated. What was truly chilling was that even after their heads hit the ground, they continued to curse, "The Shen family all deserve to die!"

Upon seeing this, Shen Miaowei, Uncle Zhang, and the others all changed their expressions slightly.

This is really too bizarre.

However, once she entered battle mode, Liuli didn't care about anything else and didn't know what fear was. She grabbed her chainsaw and charged forward.

After a while.

The front yard was littered with corpses.

Only the calico cat remained standing in the center.

At that moment, the curtains of the foreign consulate across the street suddenly slammed shut, and the dignitaries who had been spying on the scene were all shocked by what had happened at the Shen residence.

Zhang Xuan limped over, his eyes fixed on the calico cat in the room, and asked in a slightly wary voice, "Miss, what... what's going on here?"

Shen Miaowei bowed respectfully to Sanhua:
"This is the Crystal Boy under the seat of the Immortal Kaigua."

"?!"

The whole place fell silent.

A pageboy under a celestial being?
