Chinese Superman

"I see, that explains why it looked so familiar."

Xia Xinghan suddenly realized, then asked, puzzled, "Why would you take apart the 'Plain Silk Zen Robe' for no reason?"

"Because the artistic conception of 'Plain Silk Zen Robe' is too profound and lofty, it is difficult for ordinary people to understand, let alone popularize it." Gu Zhi Qiu's voice revealed a trace of heartfelt admiration.

To put it bluntly, it's something most people can't learn!

"Therefore, the state organized experts to dissect and evolve its essence, which eventually gave rise to two Class A martial arts and twenty-seven Class B martial arts, of which 'Lingyan Ferry' is one."

"It can only be said that the martial ancestor who created the 'Plain Silk Zen Robe' was truly admirable in terms of his realm and wisdom."

Even from a short distance, Xia Xinghan could hear the undisguised reverence in her tone.

A slight smile crept onto his lips as he deliberately pressed on, "Senior Sister seems to hold this Martial Ancestor in high regard?"

"nature."

Gu Zhi Qiu answered without hesitation, her usually cold voice even seeming to soften slightly.

"The Martial Ancestor, through his own efforts, laid the foundation for the martial arts of our Xia Kingdom, benefiting hundreds of millions of people. The martial arts he created are all-encompassing, with profound and far-reaching implications, truly unparalleled throughout history. Which of us cultivators does not feel reverence for him?"

Xia Xinghan felt secretly pleased and delighted.

"If my senior sister knew that the legendary Martial Ancestor she speaks of is me, and that she even calls him 'Junior Brother'... I wonder what her expression would be?"

This idea intrigued Xia Xinghan.

"Senior sister, please praise Martial Ancestor more, I love to hear it."

"??"

"Why do you like to hear me praise the Martial Ancestor?"

Although a hint of suspicion arose in Gu Zhiqi's heart, she didn't think too much about it. She talked to Xia Xinghan about the Martial Ancestor, praising him to the skies, which made Xia Xinghan's smile even more hard to suppress than an AK47.

In her view, that wasn't praise, but a statement of fact.

The two rode one after the other, talking intermittently as they sped through the snowy forest.

The dark green pines and cypresses and the white snow rushed past in the field of vision, and the cold wind howled past my ears.

Gu Zhi Qiu suddenly realized that her junior brother's voice behind her remained steady and clear, not having faded at all. A thought flashed through her mind, and she abruptly turned around—

Xia Xinghan was standing not far behind her, looking relaxed.

What made her pupils shrink was that her junior brother... was lying horizontally!

His small body was completely parallel to the ground, and his rapid flight caused the scarf around his neck to be dragged into a red straight line.

Gu Zhi Qiu suddenly stopped, standing on a horizontal branch.

no……

You should have said so earlier if you could fly!

Xia Xinghan seemed to guess her thoughts, blinked his azure eyes, and looked innocent: "Senior sister, you didn't ask either."

Gu Zhi Qiu: "..."

She was speechless for a moment, but then a sudden realization dawned on her.

No wonder the base attaches such importance to this and needs to send her here.

Those with dual innate supernatural abilities are indeed rarer than those with dual weapon wielders, and their potential is even more unpredictable.

Of course, she still misunderstood.

Xia Xinghan was not a dual-talented supernatural being.

He is Superman.

"...Let's keep going." Gu Zhi Qiu calmed the turmoil in her heart and resumed her cool demeanor. "You shouldn't fly either; save your spiritual energy."

She no longer used "Lingyan Ferry," but instead led the way with ordinary footwork, continuing to speed through the mountains and forests.

Even so, with Gu Zhi Qiu's transformed physical condition, steep slopes, ravines, and dense forests were all as easy as walking on flat ground.

Before long, the view ahead suddenly opened up.

The two finally broke through the dense, snow-covered forest and found themselves on a winding mountain road that had been cleared of snow, leading down the mountainside.

The gray-black road surface stood out against the surrounding snowy landscape, with occasional vehicles passing by in the distance.

Xia Xinghan asked what was wrong, and Gu Zhiqi succinctly uttered two words:

"Take a taxi."

The two arrived at the roadside, and Gu Zhiqi stretched out one arm, gave a thumbs up, and made a standard hitchhiking gesture.

She had a tall and straight figure, a cool and beautiful face, and short hair that reached her ears, making her stand out conspicuously by the roadside in the desolate wilderness.

Cars whizzed by, occasionally slowing down and rolling down their windows.

But when Gu Zhiqi said the destination was "Shicheng", most of the drivers shook their heads because it wasn't on their way.

"Senior sister..."

Watching another car's taillights disappear into the distance, Xia Xinghan couldn't help but ask, "Will we really be able to hail a taxi like this?"

Gu Zhi Qiu withdrew his hand, his tone remaining calm and even, uttering only two words: "Patience."

About ten minutes later, a deep engine roar came from afar.

A bright red BMW Z4 convertible sports car drove along the road, standing out against the snowy forest and mountains.

The driver was a young man with short, bright green hair, wearing oversized sunglasses. He had one hand on the steering wheel and was talking loudly on a Bluetooth headset while wearing the other.

"Hey, baby~ don't rush me, I'll be there soon, I've brought all the supplies!"

"Protective umbrella? We've brought one. Tonight we're camping in the mountains, starry skies, snow scenery, and barbecue—absolutely romantic... Don't worry, my driving skills are top-notch!"

As he was getting into the conversation, he caught a glimpse of Gu Zhi Qiu by the roadside out of the corner of his eye, and his eyes behind his sunglasses instantly lit up.

The green-haired man slowed down, quickly approached, took off his sunglasses, hung them on his nose, and whistled loudly.

"Hey! Beautiful lady! Waiting for a taxi here? There's no village or shop in sight, got abandoned by your boyfriend halfway through the journey?"

The green-haired man's gaze swept over Gu Zhi Qiu without any attempt to hide it, then fell on Xia Xing Han beside her, who was wearing a white down jacket and a red scarf. His smile deepened, tinged with a hint of teasing. "Wow, with a child too? A married woman, huh? Even more exciting!"

Gu Zhi Qiu seemed not to have heard what he said afterward, and simply repeated, "Shi Cheng, shall we go? Travel expenses are negotiable."

"Shicheng?"

The green-haired man stroked his chin and grinned, "We just came from Shicheng, drove about a hundred kilometers, we can't just turn back again."

"But... beautiful lady, look how freezing it is, waiting for a car is such a hassle. How about we go to the campsite in the mountains ahead? Tents, heaters, and plenty of food and drinks!"

"Get a good night's rest. Tomorrow morning, I promise I'll personally drive you to Shicheng, and there won't be any toll fees. How about it?"

His implication was clear.

Upon hearing this, Gu Zhiqi glanced down at Xia Xinghan beside her and calmly said, "See, we hailed the car, didn't we?"

Xia Xinghan: "???"

Wait, senior sister, your "taking a taxi" doesn't mean "taking a ride" in the literal sense, does it?

Gu Zhi Qiu said nothing more, took long strides, and walked straight toward the Z4, exuding a capable and dashing aura.

When the green-haired man saw the stunningly beautiful woman actually walking over, he was overjoyed. His eyes behind his sunglasses crinkled with laughter, and he muttered, "Tsk tsk, what a beauty! At least a 9 out of 10. I've really struck gold today..."

The next moment, the smile on his face froze.

Gu Zhi Qiu walked to the driver's seat, stretched out her right hand, and grabbed the green-haired man's collar with lightning speed.

Before he could react, she raised her left hand and a series of crisp slaps rang out!

It was exceptionally clear on the empty mountain road.

The green-haired man's head swayed violently from side to side after being slapped, his sunglasses flew off, and his cheeks swelled up at a visible speed. He was completely stunned, seeing stars and hearing a ringing in his ears.

Before he could scream or curse, Gu Zhiqi gently tapped the side of his neck with her left hand, fingers like a knife.

The green-haired man rolled his eyes back, didn't utter a sound, his head lolled to the side, and he slumped into the seat, unconscious.
