"Karen!"

A low, familiar voice came from the side.

Li Ang emerged from behind the shelf.

His face seemed to have an unusual flush, his breathing was more rapid than usual, and his chest rose and fell slightly.

Karen asked curiously:

"Hey, honey, what the hell are you doing...?"

Before he could finish speaking, Li Ang grabbed his wrist.

Without saying a word, Li Ang grabbed Karen and dragged her toward the restroom at the back of the store.

Karen tried to protest in a low voice:

"Li Ang! Are you crazy? This is a convenience store!"

But her feet involuntarily followed his steps.

Her heart was pounding like a rabbit's, quick and chaotic.

Half of them thought the behavior was utterly absurd.

The other half, however, was quietly ignited with a secret excitement by this sudden, unconventional, and almost adventurous thrill.

Li Ang didn't turn his head, and confidently smiled:

"It'll only be a few minutes, nobody's going to notice. The clerk's playing video games, and the homeless man's only focus is on the food."

As they spoke, the two arrived at the toilet door.

Li Ang pushed open the toilet door with practiced ease.

Behind the door was a smaller space than I had imagined.

The pale, energy-saving light bulbs provided insufficient illumination, making everything appear hazy.

There was only one toilet and one filthy sink inside.

The air was filled with a strange odor, a mixture of cheap lemon-scented cleaning agents and a barely perceptible stench of urine.

The door closed behind Li Ang, and he even locked it from the inside with a "click".

Karen leaned against the cold, hard door, looking at Li Ang who was so close she could hear his breathing, and finally couldn't help but ask again:

"What exactly do you want?"

Li Ang did not respond verbally.

He showed it through his actions.

A kiss, urgent and deep, with scalding heat and undeniable urgency, directly silenced all of Officer Karen's unspoken questions.

Caught off guard, Karen was pressed against the cold door by his solid chest. Her hands instinctively pressed against his chest, and she could feel his strong heartbeat and the amazing heat emanating from his taut muscles.

"Li Ang, wait..." Karen whispered with difficulty between kisses.

But Li Ang responded with an even tighter hug, and Karen couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Soon, the "Hehuan Medicine King Manual" naturally began to operate.

A small, cramped, and unclean bathroom.

The door is locked from the inside.

The faint sound of music from the convenience store's loudspeaker could be heard from outside the door.

The cashier occasionally makes a "ding-dong" sound to indicate that the door is open.

And the possibility of a knock on the door at any moment.

All of this made Karen so nervous that her toes curled up inside her boots, almost enough to dig out a three-bedroom apartment.

But Li Ang's presence was unusually strong; his body temperature seemed to be much higher than usual, and you could feel the scorching heat even through his clothes.

His entire body was tense, brimming with a sense of pent-up, almost ferocious power.

Karen couldn't help but gasp.

This time, the effect of their merging auras far surpassed that of the past, and a torrent of energy that was much clearer, stronger, more domineering, and hotter than last night exploded without warning!

It felt like a red-hot iron being plunged into ice water, or like a high-voltage current instantly coursing through the entire body!

Karen couldn't help but let out a short, suppressed gasp, then immediately bit her lower lip hard, swallowing the rest of the sound back down her throat:

"Oh God!"

Every cell and nerve ending in her body seemed to awaken, scream, and greedily devour this immense energy at the same instant!

The old scar on my shoulder from years ago during a chase, and the old ailment on my wrist that occasionally aches and ache, all sent waves of intense, clear numbness, itching, and stinging sensations through me.

Karen could feel that the damaged tissue deep inside the wound was frantically repairing, reorganizing, and regenerating!

The fatigue from working the night shift and the backache from sitting for long periods of time seemed to be wiped away instantly by an invisible hand.

Instead, it brings an indescribable, explosive sense of energy.

This even gave her the illusion that she was a superhuman superwoman!

Li Ang's current state is also quite extraordinary.

He closed his eyes tightly, his thick eyelashes trembling violently.

The veins on his forehead and temples were slightly bulging.

Large beads of sweat quickly seeped out and rolled down the taut lines of his face.

His body movements weren't particularly rapid, but they carried a rhythm full of primal power.

It should be noted that the medication Martin provided was originally a week's supply for a normal person.

Li Ang, however, swallowed them all.

The drug's effects were far more potent than Li Ang had anticipated.

What was originally just a wisp of internal energy was now like a spark thrown into molten steel.

It erupted into a raging wildfire that swept through the meridians!

The violent effects of the drug surged through the blood vessels and muscles, causing a tearing, throbbing pain and a burning sensation.

If it weren't for the timely guidance and restraint of the orthodox and profound refining method, the "Hehuan Medicine King Manual".

Karen, as a crucial yin-yang harmonizing hub and buffer, shared and transformed some of the violent drug's effects for him.

I'm afraid Li Ang's blood vessels will burst and his meridians will be damaged immediately. He'll be crippled even if he doesn't die!

Karen could clearly feel a lifelike current of energy forming a complete and wondrous cycle centered on the two of them.

With each completed cycle, that scorching energy becomes purer and more concentrated.

This nourished her body even more deeply, penetrating to her very bones.

The aura emanating from Li Ang is also becoming stronger, more substantial, and more oppressive at a tangible pace!

fast!

too fast!

Li Ang was filled with ecstasy.

With the help of this special medicine and Karen's strong support, the training efficiency was more than twice as fast as when using ordinary vitamins last night!

Based on the speed at which his internal energy accumulates, condenses, and undergoes qualitative change, Li Ang was confident that he could cross the threshold of entry and officially enter the early stage of Qi Refining in no more than two weeks!

Only then can one truly embark on the path of cultivation and stand at the starting point of transcending the mundane!

Thinking of this, Li Ang became even more excited, his breath quickening as if he wanted to transmit all his joy and power.

Karen was completely immersed in the wonderful feeling of energy resonance, and rationality had long been thrown to the winds.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Suddenly, a loud banging on the door rang out.

A man with an Indian accent was shouting outside:

"Hey! You guys inside! What's going on?! Hurry up! I can't hold it in anymore! I'm going to take it home!"

It's that Indian shop assistant!

Karen was instantly jolted awake from that mystical state, her eyes wide with fright.

Li Ang also froze, and the surging energy circulation within his body came to a standstill.

"Stop...stop it!"

Karen said hurriedly, frantically trying to push Li Ang away.

"Damn it!"

Li Ang cursed under his breath, but despite his reluctance, he had no choice but to forcibly interrupt his cultivation.

"Bang bang bang!"

The knocking became more urgent and louder, and the Indian shop assistant said angrily:

"Hurry! I've called the police! I really have!"

Call the police?!

Karen shuddered in fright. Oh my god, she was a police officer!

She quickly took off her law enforcement jacket, curled it up in her arms, and tried to cover herself.

Li Ang took a few deep breaths and quickly tidied Karen's slightly messy hair and clothes.

The two exchanged a glance in the dim light, both seeing the embarrassment and a trace of lingering excitement in each other's eyes.

"They're here! What's the rush!"

Li Ang responded impatiently and opened the door.

Sure enough, the Indian shop assistant clutching his stomach was standing outside the door.

Upon seeing the two of them, he gave them a "I knew it" look and muttered:

"Young man, you need to be mindful of your surroundings when you're hot-tempered! This is a convenience store, not your bedroom!"

Karen's cheeks burned, and she wished she could disappear into the ground. She lowered her head, grabbed Li Ang, and ran.

They rushed out of the convenience store and came to the roadside. A night breeze blew, and they couldn't help but look at each other and burst into laughter.

"You're a madman!"

Karen was both embarrassed and angry, and punched Li Ang:

"The convenience store restroom! And someone's blocking the door! If they recognize me, I'll be on the internal affairs department's front page tomorrow!"

"If you recognize me, then arrest me, my dearest Officer Karen."

Li Ang grabbed her hand and chuckled:

"Honestly, how are you feeling? Better than last night, right?"

Karen glared at him, but didn't pull her hand away; the blush on her face hadn't faded.

"Um."

She responded softly, feeling the still-surging warmth within her:

"You didn't eat something weird, did you? That was too much. Are you alright?"

Li Ang gripped Karen's hand tightly, feeling the more solidified energy within his body and his almost fully healed injuries:

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. They're just... supplements, and combined with my family's traditional methods, they work very well."

"Alright... then... I'll go back to my shift now?"

Karen glanced in the direction of the police station, her face flushed again, and her voice lowered:

"Or...do you have any other plans...?"

Li Ang's eyes darted around, and he pointed to a small house with lights on in the distance:

"Of course, see? There's a park over there, and it looks like there's a public restroom next to it."

Karen's face turned even redder, like a ripe apple:

"Again?! You really are..."

"You felt a bit... well, a bit stuck in the middle, after being interrupted just now?"

Li Ang leaned close to her ear, his voice low and seductive, filled with urgency:

"Besides, I miss you so much, I don't want to wait until tomorrow."

Karen's heart was pounding, like she was carrying a rabbit.

A public restroom in a park? That's even more outrageous than a convenience store, but...

"Just once," she whispered, almost inaudibly, "Let's hurry. I really need to get back."
