Who gave you permission to refine demons like this?

Even in the dead of winter, although many leaves have fallen, Wuzhi Mountain still looks quite lush.

Now that the dense fog and turmoil of the past are gone, Wuzhi Mountain can be said to be a perfect place for physical tempering.

He can have any terrain he wants, and any battle he wants, as long as he wants it.

"Junior brother, don't you have a map of Wuzhi Mountain? Why don't you give it a try?"

"You don't need to hone your physical body to a high level. You just need to master the footwork in the Dragon Tiger Inner Breath Technique and fully absorb the effects of the Zhenghui Spirit Liquid."

If you do these things, your physical fitness will improve significantly, and you won't have to worry too much about breaking through barriers.

Lin Sheng had no objection to Cao Xingyi's arrangements, because they were all measures that could genuinely improve his career.

He was fully prepared to do so.

With the matter settled, Lin Sheng's thoughts became clear.

After the two finished their meal and paid the bill, Cao Xingyi packed another portion of food to go.

"Senior brother, are you still hungry?"

"No way, I'm just packing it up to take back for my three girlfriends to eat. The food here is pretty good."

He stared at what Cao Xingyi was holding and asked, "One copy? For whom?"

Cao Xing rolled his eyes at him: "Do you think they all have the same appetite as us, that two people can finish so much food?"

Afterwards, the two chatted casually until they arrived at a brothel. Cao Xingyi said goodbye to Lin Sheng and then went inside with his things.

Lin Sheng then quickly left, intending to return home as soon as possible so he could make plans for his next steps.

"Tomorrow is a day off, let's go up the mountain and see if there's a suitable place."

"With my current strength, I can handle simple demons. If I can hunt down a few demons and obtain precious essences, wouldn't it be easy to temper my body?"

"I still need to take whale gelatin. Hey, perfect, I don't have to worry about food all day tomorrow."

Just as he was thinking this, he heard his senior brother send him a telepathic message telling him to wait a moment.

Lin Sheng stopped, about to ask if something was wrong, when a small hand wrapped around his arm.

Turning my head, I saw He Qianqian, dressed in a silk skirt, panting heavily, one hand holding her own arm, the other patting her chest.

"Young master, you left too quickly."

"Even Qian'er can't keep up."

"Miss Qianqian?"

Lin Sheng looked up and his gaze fell on the brothel in the distance. Cao Xing, who was standing at the door, saw He Qianqian catch up with Lin Sheng, nodded in satisfaction, and then went inside.

He Qianqian caught her breath and smiled brightly, hugging Lin Sheng's arm with both hands: "I'm sorry, young master, I've been a bit busy lately, so Qian'er was unable to greet you in time."

Please forgive me, sir.

"Uh, it's nothing, it's nothing." Lin Sheng was a little taken aback by the girl's enthusiasm.

He wasn't a saint who abstained from meat; he had lived many different lives before transmigrating.

But he was by no means the kind of person who controlled the big picture with the small head. He instinctively felt wary of He Qianqian's inexplicable goodwill.

If you're a courtesan, being enthusiastic once or twice is understandable, but excessive enthusiasm should make people think twice.

It's better to remain still than to act rashly. Lin Sheng decided not to alert the enemy and to find out what they were up to first.

He asked, "Miss Qianqian, is there anything I can help you with?"

He Qianqian hugged him tighter and said sweetly, "No, it's just that I haven't seen you for a while, so I came to visit."

As she spoke, a hint of sadness appeared on her face: "I heard a while ago that you were injured, young master, and I wanted to go and see you."

But I can't enter where you are, so it's been delayed. I actually prepared medicine to treat your injuries, young master.

Hearing that the other party had prepared medicine for him, Lin Sheng's attitude softened. After all, one should not rashly deny a good intention, no matter what.

Lin Sheng smiled and said, "Miss Qianqian, you are very kind. Don't worry, I am almost fully recovered, and my cultivation and daily life will be fine from now on."

Keep the medicine for now; everyone gets sick sometimes, and you can use it yourself later.

Lin Sheng's smile looked rather bright under the moonlight.

He Qianqian stared blankly at Lin Sheng's smile.

Seeing that she didn't react, Lin Sheng waved his hand in front of her face and asked, "Miss Qianqian, what's wrong?"

"Are you alright? It's getting chilly, and it's so late. Why don't you go home first? Getting cold is bad for your throat."

Lin Sheng remembered that the other person made a living by singing, and his voice was of utmost importance.

He Qianqian immediately realized what was happening, and subtly flicked her hair to cover her flushed ears.

"Oh, it's alright, young master, I'm fine."

"OK."

"Are you really alright, Miss Qianqian? If you're alright, I'll be going now."

After saying that, he made a move to leave, but He Qianqian quickly grabbed him and stopped him from leaving, saying repeatedly, "I have something to do."

"Young master, I have a request."

Lin Sheng stopped and looked at her: "I told you I had something to do."

Tell me, how can I help you?

After all that commotion, He Qianqian felt a bit dazed. She hadn't wanted Lin Sheng to leave, so she had shouted it out in a moment of panic.

Even this time, when she rushed out to find Lin Sheng, it was because she simply couldn't contain her excitement.

The longing grew stronger and stronger. Ever since I peeked at her last time, I couldn't resist anymore. Since Aunt Nan wasn't around, I just went ahead and came out.

"What do we do? What do we do? What do we do? You're so dense! Think of something!"

He Qianqian was anxious, her eyes darting around.

Suddenly, she remembered something, looked up at Lin Sheng, and said, "I...I heard that you used to be a mountain herder, is that right?"

"That's right, exactly."

"I make a living by singing, but my throat has been bothering me lately. I would like to ask you, sir, to get me some wild honey."

I heard this kind of honey is the best for soothing the throat, so I came here...

She was speechless, because she felt that the excuse she had just given was absolutely awful.

"I am the representative of the Weixin Workshop, the future Holy Maiden. How could I possibly come up with such an excuse!"

"Wild honey? You can buy that anywhere. How could I even think of something like that? I'm so obvious!"

She lowered her head, her face flushed, and her slender white fingers gripped Lin Sheng's arm tightly.

Lin Sheng nodded and said, "Okay, no problem. I'm going up the mountain tomorrow anyway, so I'll bring some back for you."

"Huh?" He Qianqian looked over in surprise.

It really works!

Seeing the other person's shocked expression, Lin Sheng said, "Don't worry, it's nothing serious. I'll bring you some tomorrow."

At the same time, he was certain that his senior brother must have let it slip again.

He Qianqian relaxed, feeling a sweet warmth in her heart.

"I haven't even tasted the honey yet..."

She nodded, and quietly changed from linking arms to holding Lin Sheng's hands.

"Young master, your hands are so hot..." He Qianqian said, feeling the warmth from Lin Sheng's palm.

Lin Sheng sighed, grasped the soft little hand in his, and turned to walk away.

"Eh, young master?"

He Qianqian exclaimed in surprise, as the heat that had been confined to her ears began to spread to her face.

"When I took you home, didn't you notice everyone around you staring at you?"

"It wouldn't be safe for you to go back alone," Lin Sheng explained.

Only then did He Qianqian notice that everyone around her, regardless of gender, was looking at her with a hint of infatuation in their eyes.

"Oh no, I lost control..." He Qianqian calmed herself down and controlled her aura, which gradually brought the people nearby back to their senses.

After bringing He Qianqian back to the brothel entrance, he said to her, "Now I really have to go, Miss Qianqian. I'll bring you the honey again tomorrow."

"Take care of your throat and get some rest."

After a pause, Lin Sheng said, "Thank you for your concern."

"No, no, I should be thanking you, young master, for granting my request."

She straightened her clothes and smiled at Lin Sheng: "I'll have to trouble you a lot more, young master."

"It's nothing, it's alright, let's go inside since it's cold."

Lin Sheng then waved goodbye and left. He Qianqian also waved her hand lightly, watching the departing figure of the person in front of her, her heart beating very fast.

Her palms, ears, and cheeks were all flushed, and she could feel them burning.

"Phew~" she exhaled.

Then she murmured, "Aunt Nan was right, we really are getting deeper and deeper into this mess."

"but....."

She smiled gently, revealing a captivating smile as enchanting as the silver moon.

"It feels pretty good."
