Republic of China era: A hundred-year-old still practicing martial arts? Is that right?

"Quick, try them on."

Bai Yu'er didn't hesitate and took off the silk nightgown she was wearing.

The silk pajamas slid down her snow-white shoulders, lightly brushing against her jade-like back as they slid down.

The door to the boudoir creaked open.

Bai Yu'er hurriedly wrapped her silk pajamas tighter around herself.

However, due to the special material of the pajamas, which clung tightly to her skin, her shapely figure was accentuated, revealing her voluptuous curves.

Shen Jinluan gently turned to the side, stretched out her long, snow-white legs, and lightly touched the door of her boudoir with her toes.

"it's me."

Outside.

Lin Ji's voice rang out helplessly.

Upon hearing this, Shen Jinluan slowly bent her knees and withdrew her jade-like feet.

Bai Yu'er also relaxed, and her thin shirt gently slipped off her body.

Lin Ji pushed open the door and entered, just in time to see Shen Jinluan withdraw her long, slender, snow-white legs and Bai Yu'er's graceful figure, and he couldn't help but feel his blood boil.

"You're back?"

Shen Jinluan spoke lazily, then slipped her toes into Lin Ji's arms.

Bai Yu'er didn't dare to show weakness either, and picked up the teacup on the table with lipstick marks on it and handed it to Lin Ji.

Bai Yu'er leaned against Lin Ji's chest, wrapped her arms around his, and pressed her chest tightly against him.

Lin Ji felt a tight, enveloping sensation on his arm.

"So, has the Tongmenghui agreed?" Shen Jinluan asked, her peach-blossom eyes flickering and her red lips curving slightly.

"I agree." Lin Ji remained unmoved, unable to resist the allure of Bai Yu'er before speaking: "Jinluan, you'll come with me to the Green Robe Gang tomorrow."

"We'll talk about tomorrow's problems tomorrow." Shen Jinluan twisted her toes slightly, her body as supple as a red-striped water snake, and leaned into Lin Ji's arms. After whispering a fragrant breath in his ear, she rolled off, her toes clicking on her small shoes, and pushed open the door to leave.

"Spend some quality time with Yu'er tonight."

Beautiful night.

Lin Ji was lying in bed.

He couldn't help but rub his aching lower back.

He couldn't help but recall the old man selling miracle pills at his stall when he passed through the west side of the city during the day.

He seemed to sense something.

A clear stream flowed out from Lin Ji's sea of ​​consciousness.

A prescription was imprinted in Lin Ji's mind.

"Dragon and Tiger Mighty Pill".

"Strengthening the vital energy and nourishing the meridians, refining martial arts, locking in essence and prolonging power, and promoting the balance of Yin and Yang. It can greatly enhance the wonder of harmony and unity, strengthen the foundation without damage, and ensure the long-term prosperity of the Dao body."

"Forehead……"

Lin Ji was taken aback.

This book on defying fate is definitely not something a respectable person would practice.

……

Early the next morning.

Lin Ji got up early.

Lin Ji stood on the open ground outside the stronghold, waving a wooden stick in his hand.

God rewards hard work.

Even with the support of martial arts bones and jade pendants, one cannot neglect the foundation of martial arts.

"call!"

"call!"

The stick ripped through the air, making a whooshing sound.

The staff technique combines both strength and gentleness.

"drink!"

Lin Ji suddenly raised his hand, gripped the handle of the stick, pulled the stick back, and slammed it forward.

"Snapped!"

The stick hit the ground.

It stirred up countless dust particles.

The stick couldn't withstand Lin Ji's force and shattered inch by inch.

The bluestone on the ground trembled and cracked open with a loud crash.

"good!"

"Master Lin, your kung fu is amazing!"

"Impressive skills! If we brothers can learn even a little bit, we can be as powerful as can be in Jiangcheng."

A dozen or so thugs gathered outside the Haijiao Gang's stronghold. Upon seeing Lin Ji's gesture, they all praised him.

They already struggled to practice simple moves, so they were naturally astonished by such advanced marksmanship.

Lin Ji stopped his movements and stood up. He glanced at the broken bluestone on the ground, and two thugs approached with smiles on their faces.

"Mr. Lin, it's fine as it is, we'll fix it this morning."

The two exchanged a glance and smiled obsequiously.

"We have a small request. Could you teach us a couple of moves, Mr. Lin, to improve our skills?"

Lin Ji thought about it briefly and thought it was feasible, and was about to nod when he suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to have any usable cultivation techniques.

Besides his signature Chuishan Fist, he had mastered all other martial arts techniques to a level of proficiency.

Right at this moment.

The shrewd men at the entrance of the stronghold suddenly scattered and bowed in salute.

"Boss."

Lin Ji looked up.

Shen Jinluan wore a black embroidered cheongsam and low-heeled leather shoes, her figure both alluring and very dignified.

Lin Ji's gaze had barely landed on Shen Jinluan's wall when he was immediately drawn to a splash of bright red behind her.

Behind Shen Jinluan, Bai Yuer put on the same red satin cheongsam as Shen Jinluan.

Her figure was already more voluptuous than Shen Jinluan's, and now she looked even more stunning.

She was initially a little shy.

Seeing Shen Jinluan quickly approach Lin Ji, she quickened her pace slightly and even puffed out her chest a bit more.

Shen Jinluan's complexion was rosy, and her health was much better than at the Hongmen Banquet that day. Her peach blossom eyes flickered slightly, and a sly smile curled at the corner of her lips.

"Old man, am I not pretty?"

Lin Ji withdrew his gaze from Bai Yu'er and coughed softly:

"How could that be? It's getting late, let's go to the Green Robe Gang."

Shen Jinluan smiled slightly: "Then go ahead, but... I'll punish you for what happened yesterday."

"What's wrong?" Lin Ji asked, bewildered.

Shen Jinluan glanced at Bai Yu'er lightly, her tone tinged with a hint of sourness:

"In the end, it is still Yu'er who is young and beautiful, while I, Shen Jinluan, am old and faded."

Lin Ji was immediately taken aback.

He remembered what had happened.

Shen Jinluan's words made Bai Yu'er's pretty face blush slightly.

Shen Jinluan noticed their awkwardness and stopped teasing them, instead reaching out to link her arm with Lin Ji's.

"Old man, let's go."

"etc."

Lin Ji took out a prescription and handed it to Bai Yu'er.

"Yu'er, go and buy some of the medicines prescribed during the day."

Bai Yu'er took the prescription, and after reading what was written on it, her pretty face turned even redder.

The square reads:

Collect Cibotium barometz, Taxillus chinensis, Thousand-pound broom, Cuscuta chinensis, and Smilax glabra...

Looking at these medicines, Bai Yu'er couldn't help but recall the enchanting moments of the previous night.

This is clearly...

Shen Jinluan had some doubts, but did not ask any further questions.

She had gotten used to Lin Ji occasionally pulling out some surprising things.

The two did not take a car.

They traveled all the way to the south of Jiangcheng.

"Old man, are you planning to take advantage of the fact that the British Concession is leaderless and the Gelaohui has lost its backer, and join forces with the Green Shirt Gang to take this bone?"

Shen Jinluan had already guessed Lin Ji's general idea.

This was also a major concern on his mind.

Although the East City branch is gone, the Haijiao Gang will not have peace as long as the Gelaohui is not eliminated.

"Smart." Lin Ji nodded.

"The Gelaohui previously relied on Zack's backing to swallow up a lot of the Sea Dragon Gang's assets. Now that Zack is dead, it's a time of great chaos, and it's the perfect opportunity to get back what they owed with interest."

Shen Jinluan's eyebrows arched slightly, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in her peach blossom eyes:

"Great, that's exactly what I need to put up with that old bastard Zheng Changsheng for. I've been putting up with him for a long time."

"However, last time we discovered the secrets of the Japanese within the Gelaohui's properties, I'm afraid Zheng Changsheng will side with the Japanese. Jingmei is even more troublesome than Zacks," Shen Jinluan said with concern.

Lin Ji chuckled.

He wanted the Gelaohui to defect to the Japanese.

Zack is dead.

He cannot allow the Japanese to dominate the market.

Next step.

That damned Jingmei!
