Under One Person: Feng Shui Master, I Will Protect the Mountains and Rivers with My Own Body

"Tales of Extraordinary People: Yan Sen's Bizarre Adventures - 'How about some vinegared fish?'"

Yan Sen, who had come to Hangzhou from Zhuge Bagua Village, was squatting by the roadside on the pedestrian street, ignoring Zhang Lingyu's incessant nagging and staring blankly into his eyes.

Seeing this, Zhang Lingyu patted Yan Sen's shoulder with disdain, then was startled by Yan Sen's sudden standing up.

Yan Sen pointed to a restaurant not far ahead and said to Zhang Lingyu.

----------------------------

"Mr. Shen, please step back and maintain a safe distance from this female benefactor."

Gao Ning didn't respond to Shen Chong's words. He watched the pink mist approaching and pushed off with his feet, retreating backward.

That seemingly fat and bloated body suddenly displayed amazing agility, like a rolling ball of flesh, instantly sliding more than ten meters away.

"Huh? Oh, I don't need it."

Shen Chong replied.

At this moment, his nostrils and ears were completely blocked with specially made earplugs and nasal plugs, and even his body and the area around his mouth were wrapped with a dense Qi membrane.

"I've made preparations in advance. I guess that as long as I seal off a few of my six senses, I probably won't be affected by it, or rather, we'll be able to take her down before she gets affected. It shouldn't be a big problem."

Nima.

The veins on Gao Ning's forehead throbbed, and he almost broke his vow and swore on the spot.

You prepared all this without telling me? So you're the only one who cares about your life?

But then I thought about it again, and we're all from the Quanxing sect.

Gao Ning immediately calmed down. That's just how the Quanxing were. Shen Chong really had no obligation to remind him.

"Don't be careless. It's still uncertain whether what you prepared will be useful to this female benefactor's abilities. Guessing things is never reliable, and besides..."

Gao Ning squinted his almost invisible eyes and stared at Xia He not far away.

"She's not like you described, someone whose mind is easily swayed by circumstances and whose thoughts are filled with delusions. This female benefactor's character is far more steadfast than those worthless people."

"Whether it works or not, you'll know once you try it!"

Shen Chong exerted his strength suddenly, and the cement ground beneath his feet instantly shattered, sending debris flying. He was like a cannonball launched from a gun, carrying enormous kinetic energy as he hurtled straight toward Xia He.

As he charged forward, Shen Chong continued to swing his arms, creating gusts of wind that swirled in the air, enveloping and forcing back the Qi of his body, thus creating a gap large enough for him to pass through.

Xia He is no longer the weakling in physical combat who only relied on her superpowers to make a living.

With just one glance, Xia He figured out Shen Chong's style.

This guy isn't a true master of external martial arts; he's just using the vast amount of Qi within his body to gain temporary, side-effect-free enhancements. It seems that the enhancements include, but are not limited to, speed and strength.

To take a direct hit? Only a fool would take a direct hit!

Xia He curled a cold smile at the corner of her mouth, lightly touched the ground with her toes, and moved like a willow catkin in the wind, dodging to the side with extremely fast speed, directly sliding out of Shen Chong's attack path.

"boom--!"

The next second, Shen Chong punched the spot where she had just been standing.

Dust billowed up, and a crater two meters in diameter was blasted into the ground, with spiderweb-like cracks spreading outwards.

"Tsk, that's some strange strength. Thank goodness I didn't take it head-on!"

Xia He secretly felt a sense of relief.

She looked at Shen Chong's nose and ears, which were stuffed full, and her sneer in her heart grew even stronger.

Naive.

Did they think that plugging those holes would stop the muscle tension?

The reason I couldn't control my breathing muscles before was because they are Qi, energy, and a force that can penetrate into the other person's body through the pores, through breathing, and even directly through the Qi, influencing their mind and spirit!

It should be in effect now...

Just as Xia He had predicted.

Shen Chong missed his attack and should have used the recoil to continue his pursuit, but he stopped in a very strange way.

He stood there, swaying slightly, as if he had drunk two kilograms of fake liquor.

That once refined and fair face was now covered with an eerie flush, its eyes became hazy and fanatical, and a trace of saliva even dripped from the corner of its mouth.

The look in his eyes when he looked at Xia He before was more one of amazement, but now it had turned into an indescribable... infatuation.

"Monk...no...no...help me out..."

With the last shred of reason, Shen Chong forced himself to bite his tongue, and using the pain to clear his head, he staggered backward and shouted in Gao Ning's direction.

"Tsk..."

Although Gao Ning frowned and looked somewhat helpless, he didn't stop what he was doing.

"Buzz—"

A dark red aura suddenly erupted from his body, instantly forming a huge semi-circular dome that enveloped the entire abandoned factory.

Twelve Labors Formation!

"I told you not to be careless, but you didn't listen."

Gao Ning clasped his hands together, his expression peaceful and sacred, like a Bodhisattva with lowered eyes.

"Don't you understand yet? Our relationship with her isn't that of prey and hunter, but rather two hunters facing off with guns drawn. Whoever gets hit first loses."

As Gao Ning's voice echoed through the factory, the dark red Qi began to surge violently.

Shen Chong was startled.

He felt the lust within him, which was burning him up, suddenly being forcefully suppressed by an even stronger and more violent emotion.

It was extreme anger!

"Damn it! This is so annoying!"

Shen Chong let out a low growl, the dazed look in his eyes vanished, replaced by a crimson killing intent.

Although the "love" he felt for Xia He was still there, he now wanted to tear everything in front of him to shreds.

Two extreme emotions clashed within him, causing him immense pain, but also temporarily freeing him from the control of his breathing muscles.

Xia He, who was being deliberately targeted by Gao Ning's Twelve Labors Formation, felt even worse.

"Hmm..."

Xia He groaned softly, her brows furrowed.

She felt a strange sense of irritation rising from the bottom of her heart, and indescribable negative emotions were frantically rubbing against her nerves.

This feeling was especially intense when the Qi flowed to the Foot Jueyin Liver Meridian; the liver fire flared up, causing her internal organs to ache.

"Please don't be hasty, lady. We don't necessarily have to fight to the death. Please hear me out."

Gao Ning never ventured into Xia He's comfort zone. His narrowed eyes gleamed with a chilling red light, and his voice carried a peculiar rhythm, constantly provoking Xia He's emotions.

"We went to such great lengths, all for you, benefactor."

"All beings suffer, and desire is human nature. We should not suppress it, but rather release it."

"Wouldn't it be wonderful to join us in helping others release their desires?"

"Join your grandpa!"

Xia He took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to chop the fat monk in front of her into pieces and feed him to the dogs.

"You bald monk, no matter how loud you talk, you can't hide the fact that you're a coward."

Xia He tossed her hair, forcing a mocking smile. "My breathing technique isn't very effective. Come in, and I'll agree if you come in."

"Female benefactor, I am bald, but I am not stupid." Gao Ning was speechless; this attempt to provoke him was too low-level.

Xia He's heart sank.

This fat monk may look foolish, but he is quite capable.

This formation not only manipulates emotions, but also continuously erodes her Foot Jug Yin Liver Meridian, affecting her internal organs.

Although I'm sure I'll win in the end, it would be a losing proposition.

She is self-aware.

"This is beyond our control...we need to call in reinforcements."

Xia He is not the kind of person who would rather suffer than save face.

Without hesitation, she turned around, faced the empty doorway, and shouted at the top of her lungs:

"Stinky! I can't beat you! Help me!"

That shout was delivered with such righteous indignation, yet with such a pitiful expression.

The voice just fell.

From the darkness outside the gate came a series of steady footsteps.

"Tap, tap, tap."

Every step felt like stepping on the very heartbeat of a person.

"Xiangxiang, you insisted on trying this by yourself first, so don't complain to me when you get back."

Yan Sen's figure emerged from the shadows.

Gao Ning's eyes widened slightly, and a wave of emotion surged within him.

When did this person arrive?

His own Twelve Labors Formation... he hadn't sensed his presence at all...

I really don't know if it's lucky or unlucky... to have encountered a master of this caliber...

Yan Sen didn't even glance at Shen Chong, who was acting like a mad dog beside him. His eyes, which usually carried a lazy smile, were now as cold as a stagnant pool.

Deep within those pupils, a wisp of cyan-gold light was slowly flowing.

"Actually, even if you hadn't called me, I would have gotten restless soon."

Yan Sen walked into the factory, his gaze passing through the Qi of the Breathing Muscles and locking onto Gao Ning.

"Monk, your formation is quite unique."

Yan Sen stretched out a hand and made a grasping motion in the air, as if he had grasped something invisible.

"Is this formation used to activate the twelve meridians in the human body to correspond to positive and negative emotions?"

"You just touched her Foot Jug Yin Liver Meridian, didn't you?"

Yan Sen sneered, his tone carrying a chilling undertone.

"The liver belongs to the element of wood, which corresponds to the emotions of anger and depression."

"Do you even know that women are prone to breast hyperplasia when they get angry? And it can also cause endocrine disorders and menstrual irregularities?"

"I went through so much trouble to get her body back in shape, and you just ruin it like this?"

Gao Ning was stunned.

Shen Chong was also stunned.

Even Xia He, who was enduring the torment, was stunned.

No... Brother, what time is it?

We're fighting! Aren't you focusing on a bit off-topic?

Breast hyperplasia? Menstrual irregularities?

Is this the kind of vocabulary that should appear in battles between supernatural beings?!

"Esteemed benefactor... perhaps... I should apologize to her?"

Gao Ning's lips twitched twice. This guy, who could manipulate other people's emotions at will, lost control of his own emotions for the first time and said something that even he himself found unbelievable.

"Apologize?"

Yan Sen suddenly took a step forward.

"Thump!"

The entire factory floor trembled violently with his kick.

A thick, vast, and deep earth-yellow energy wave, centered on Yan Sen, suddenly erupted!

"No need..."

"Once I rip your foul tongue off, she'll naturally forgive you..."
