Melee archer with maxed-out Douluo luck

Chapter 205: Late-Night Recovery After the Night Walk (4k)

Tang San's body trembled violently, and the other three elders took the opportunity to surround him and restrain him.

Amidst chilling screams, Tang San's bones continued to shatter until not a single intact bone remained in his body.

But he didn't die; his whole body was convulsing.

The most fatal thing is that no matter how intense the pain around his body is, his mind remains excited, and this excited mind means that he has to fully bear every bit of the pain.

Then, through his blurry vision, Tang San saw Tang Yin come to his side, squat down, and whisper in his ear in a voice only the two of them could hear:

"Thank you, Tang San. Your Buddha's Wrath Lotus is really useful."

Upon hearing his words, Tang San felt his blood rush to his head again.

He tried to struggle and speak, but found that his neck and limbs were already tied with ropes, very tightly, and for a moment he was unable to speak.

"Alright, Tang Yin, there's no need to say anything more to him. As a disciple of the Tang Clan, this kind of traitor deserves to be despised by everyone."

"Men, hang him on the cliff. Make sure he survives here for seven days and seven nights, until he dies in the jaws of an eagle. No one except the person who hanged him is allowed to approach."

The one speaking was the elder who was the first to attack Tang San. In the Tang Sect, he was the Elder of Punishments.

The commotion caused by the Buddha's Wrath Lotus had already alerted everyone in the sect, and the punishment disciples rushed over immediately.

Upon hearing the elder's command, several disciples rushed forward and strictly carried out the order.

In the illusionary world, Tang San was hung up for seven whole days. Until the very end, only a faint trace of his life indicated that his life signs had not completely disappeared.

During those seven days, Tang Yin, whom he had been longing for, never appeared before him again.

Tang San, whose mind was sometimes clear and sometimes confused, vaguely learned from the conversation carried by the wind that Tang Yin had successfully risen to a higher position and become an example that everyone in the Tang Sect envied.

Another falcon swooped down and pecked hard at his face. Tang San felt a piercing pain, and finally, he escaped the "dream".

In the familiar room, Tang San suddenly opened his eyes, gripping his sides with both hands, panting heavily.

The lingering smell of blood and stench disappeared, and he fell back onto the bed, his body covered in sweat, his muscles still twitching involuntarily.

"Damn Tang Yin, damn elder, and this damn dream."

Tang San slammed his fist onto the bed. Fortunately, the mattress cushioned the impact, preventing him from damaging it, but his hand began to bleed again.

In the "dream," he spent many days, but in the real world, only an hour had passed.

His hands were already injured, and the content of the dream caused him to unconsciously clench his fists, rendering the previous medicine and simple treatment useless.

Han Li, on the other hand, had already left the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and could see the outline of his own courtyard.

After he manipulated Tang Yin and Tang San to say their last words, he had already left. He had no interest in watching others suffer.

Of course, he didn't relinquish control either; instead, he left behind the idea of ​​automatic operation before quietly departing.

He also ordered the same set meal for the other people in the villa. As companions, it's only fair to share the good times and the bad, isn't it?

In the illusion he left behind, forget about anything good, but how bad things get depends on their individual actions; it's none of his business.

Oh, just between you and me, the basic test of illusion he left for Yu Xiaogang was twice as heavy as the tests for everyone else.

As for Oscar, who was accidentally injured, he hasn't fully pledged allegiance to Xue Qinghe yet. Even if he had, he would still be Xue Qinghe's subordinate, and there's still a barrier between him and Qian Renxue. What does he have to do with Han Li?

Of course, he didn't forget to take this opportunity to squeeze out another bit of luck. Although it was better than nothing for him at this point, no one would complain about having too much.

Unbeknownst to him, Tang San's luck had been weakened once again.

Even though he was going back to his own home, Han Li still chose to climb over the wall when he saw the closed gate.

There was no other reason; the main reason was that he didn't use the gate when he did bad things. This idea was ingrained in his mind, and it was the same even if he was going home after doing something bad.

After expanding his mental energy and discovering that everyone was in a state of cultivation, Han Li nodded in satisfaction and walked towards Zhu Zhuqing's room.

He had promised to help her take care of her health tonight, and that was tonight; he wasn't one to easily break his promises.

Arriving at the room door, Han Li gently knocked.

About half a minute later, Zhu Zhuqing came out of her cultivation state and opened the door for him.

Han Li didn't wait for her to speak and stepped into the room. He was joking, after all, this was his house.

"How effective is the herbal bath?"

As soon as he entered the house, Han Li could smell the lingering medicinal scent. It seemed he was still a little reserved, as the medicinal bath was being taken in his own room.

"The effect is very good. I can feel my body is much lighter. The areas with previous hidden injuries are a little warm, and the flow of soul power has also become slightly faster."

Zhu Zhuqing closed the door and answered seriously.

She was dressed the same as during the day, completely covered up, but her voluptuous figure was impossible to hide.

"That's good. Give me your hand, and I'll check it again to see if the medicinal bath formula needs to be adjusted."

In this respect, he is definitely an expert.

Zhu Zhuqing hesitated for a moment, but after finding that his emotions and expression were not abnormal, she handed him her hand.

"Just out of the wolf's den, into the tiger's lair" perfectly describes her current situation, even though this tiger's lair is much safer than the wolf's den.

Seeing her performance, Han Li smiled but didn't say anything. Instead, he carefully investigated her situation.

After circulating his soul power, Han Li withdrew his hand.

"Great, the effect is even better than I expected. It seems I can take it together with whale gelatin."

Perhaps because she was already in good physical condition, and with a gap of more than a year, her body absorbed the effects of the medicine better than Han Li had expected.

Upon hearing this, a hint of joy flashed in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes.

After Han Li left, Dugu Yan had already explained to her a lot of what they considered "common sense" and ways to accelerate cultivation. While she was shocked, she also became even more eager for it.

However, while Zhu Zhuqing was still waiting, she saw Han Li's ambiguous smile.

"But are you sure you don't want to change your clothes?"

Upon hearing Han Li's words, Zhu Zhuqing was taken aback. It was because Han Li was going to help her regulate her body tonight that she had changed into her usual clothes. However, now that the option of whale glue had been added at the last minute, her current outfit was no longer suitable.

She had learned from Dugu Yan that taking whale gel to strengthen the body would generate a lot of heat, and she didn't even dare to think about what she would look like in her tight-fitting clothes.

Moreover, Han Li's eyes have never been honest when he's with her. Now that she's become his subordinate and made a vow with her martial spirit, what's the difference between that and feeding him meat?

"I...I'll go change right away."

Zhu Zhuqing stammered a few words and ran towards the bedroom, forgetting to tell Han Li to wait for her outside.

She didn't remember this until she had changed half of her clothes. However, she couldn't very well go out and chase people away now, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and speed up her changing.

Han Li, who was in the living room, hadn't thought of this at all. Instead, he was deducing the Mysterious Heaven Skill by combining the events that had occurred in the illusion.

Xuan Tian Gong is indeed a legitimate Taoist practice, characterized by its moderation, harmony, and inclusiveness.

In fact, the soul power cultivated by the Xuan Tian Gong is not without any attributes; rather, it is whatever attribute you are inclined towards.

As for why it didn't have any special effects on Tang San, Han Li could only attribute it to the fact that his martial soul was indeed pitifully weak before his bloodline awakened, and his inherent life attributes were affected by the various soul rings he attached, resulting in the weakness of the Xuan Tian Gong.

Hmm, you could consider switching to the Mysterious Heaven Technique first, and then adjusting it based on your own martial soul to upgrade it to the most suitable technique for your situation.

If combined with the inner cores they have already condensed, their internal energy will generate at an incredibly fast and inexhaustible speed. This is no longer the Mysterious Heaven Skill; it is clearly the Nine Yang Divine Skill!

Thinking of this, Han Li was even more satisfied; this night trip had been incredibly profitable.

He looked up and saw that Zhu Zhuqing had changed her clothes and was walking towards him.

Wow, a new skin! Han Li's eyes lit up.

At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing took off her previous black bodysuit and put on a white long dress.

Under the reflection of the lights, her exposed skin was snow-white, almost reflective, and coupled with her extremely hot figure, her still somewhat immature face, and her long black hair styled like cat ears, she gave people a feeling of both innocence and desire.

Furthermore, the fact that the two of them were alone in the room, and that she had forgotten to get rid of Han Li before changing her clothes, made her even more alluring with a faint blush on her face.

"It's beautiful, and it suits you very well."

Han Li made no attempt to conceal his gaze, nor did he spare any words of praise.

But his reaction actually relieved Zhu Zhuqing, suppressing all her complicated emotions, and even reducing her nervousness and shyness.

In this mansion, all the rooms have the same layout.

Seeing that she had calmed down, Han Li got up and moved towards the bathroom, where there was a bed.

"Let's do it here; it'll be more convenient after we're done."

Han Li pointed to the bed in the bathroom, indicating that she should lie down.

This time, Zhu Zhuqing did not hesitate. After taking off her shoes, she lay down on it.

However, her slightly rapid breathing, the way she turned her head to the other side, and the unconscious way she clenched her index fingers still betrayed her mood at that moment.

"Relax, I'm not going to eat you, well, at least not now."

Han Li smiled, walked up to her, and teased her.

Upon hearing his words, Zhu Zhuqing, who was lying on the bed, tensed up at first, and then slowly relaxed. However, her exposed earlobes and the area behind her ears were already bright red.

"You're lucky; you just happened to be promoted on your first try."

As soon as he finished speaking, Han Li had already established a mental connection with Zhu Zhuqing, activating the ability to see through the flow of other people's soul power.

"Relax a bit, don't be so tense. Next, after you take the whale gelatin, I will take the lead in refining it and teach you a new cultivation technique. Remember its soul power circulation route, and follow this from now on."

Han Li's voice rang in Zhu Zhuqing's mind, and the path of soul power circulation was clearly presented in her spiritual world.

"Um."

She answered softly, then fell silent again. She had learned too many things today that were beyond her comprehension, and she quickly adapted to the situation.

"Don't just say 'uh-huh,' turn your head around, or how will you take the whale gelatin?"

Han Li looked at Zhu Zhuqing, whose head was still turned to the other side, and gave her a reminder with a wry smile.

In the mental space connected to the two, Zhu Zhuqing's mental power fluctuated, but she didn't speak again and slowly turned her head.

At this moment, her eyes were closed, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her face was unusually flushed.

Han Li smiled silently, and flames rose in his hand. The whale glue he had prepared beforehand was heated by the flames and turned into an edible gelatinous state. It was then torn open and put into Zhu Zhuqing's mouth.

At the same time, Han Li held her hand again, and through the transformation of the micro-domain, converted his soul power into an attribute that matched Zhu Zhuqing's, carefully sending it into her body and activating the Xuan Tian Gong.

"Remember this route and use it to cultivate. Your cultivation speed can be increased by at least 40%, which will also be very beneficial to the development and evolution of your martial soul."

Han Li looked at the Evil God Bead on Zhu Zhuqing's chest, which was faintly shimmering with a dark gray light, and was very satisfied with it.

Unfortunately, since the two were sharing senses at this moment, he was too embarrassed to look too much, not to mention that Zhu Zhuqing was still in the process of refining whale glue and her clothes were already wet.

With just one glance, Zhu Zhuqing, who was lying down, became unsteady on her feet, and her soul power almost malfunctioned. While Han Li was treated to a feast for the eyes, he dared not continue.

There will be plenty of opportunities in the future, but one cannot be careless in cultivation.

Because the cultivation route needed to be readjusted, this cultivation session actually took much longer than the previous sessions when the others refined whale glue.

It took Zhu Zhuqing a full hour to transform all of it into her own inner strength.

Of course, after gaining initial proficiency, Han Li deactivated the mind-sharing feature.

Although they were still monitoring her cultivation progress in real time, pointing out her mistakes and helping her adjust them in time, they also avoided the embarrassing situation from before.

He enjoyed it.

Slowly calming her soul power, Zhu Zhuqing opened her eyes. Sensing the changes within herself, she clenched her fists and sat up with some surprise.

Then, she noticed a gaze and turned to see Han Li looking at her.

Seemingly realizing something, Zhu Zhuqing looked down at her clothes, her face turning bright red. She quickly hugged herself and buried her head in her clothes.

"Okay, I'm going back now. Get some rest after you're done tidying up."

Seeing her reaction, Han Li chuckled, stood up, and walked towards the door.

"By the way, let's continue tomorrow night."

Han Li paused for a moment, then added another sentence.

Hearing his footsteps fade away, and waiting until the door was opened and then closed again, Zhu Zhuqing finally raised her head and let out a breath, though her pretty face was still flushed.
