Why bother with dating when you already have a cat?

My brother's clothes smell so good!

Chapter 116 Is this my cheat code?

early morning.

Ai Qing got up as the sun rose, and after a quick wash, she steamed a few buns in the kitchen.

The little fish trotted along behind, scratching its face with its toes, and squatted quietly at the kitchen doorway, waiting.

Seeing Ai Qing come out of the kitchen and return to the bedroom, sit in front of the computer, looking like she was about to play Madoka Magica for a while, Xiao Yu suddenly became a little anxious.

She jumped onto the bed, found her tablet which was charging, pressed her paw on the fingerprint unlock area, and opened WeChat.

[Ai Chi Yu]: Brother, remember to practice the Vajra Kung Fu!

Ai Qing, who had just activated Yuan Shen, heard her phone vibrate. She opened WeChat, glanced at it, and was immediately stunned. Then she looked at Xiao Yu on the bed.

"Why are you more concerned about my back than I am?"

Ai Qing shook her head helplessly.

However, since Xiaoyu had said so, Ai Qing stood up from her seat, went to the spacious living room, and got into position.

For Ai Qing, practicing Vajra Kung Fu is a little tiring.

In particular, some of these poses, if practiced for a long time, will cause your arms to feel numb, like the tingling sensation after being acupunctured.

He vividly remembers the first time he tried to do the Vajra Kung Fu. Just the first movement made him feel as if something was blocking his meridians in his arms. Every change in the movement was quite awkward to do.

The more times you do it, the less this feeling will gradually lessen.

Unfortunately, Ai Qing didn't stick with it for long; he only worked sporadically.

It is said that if you persist with it for a long time, the effect will be much better.

Of these, Ai Qing liked the seventh move the most.

Especially after completing the sixth movement, the first downward arm chop in the seventh movement makes you feel the cartilage in your waist cracking instantly, which feels incredibly comfortable.

So when she experiences back pain after sitting for a long time, Ai Qing will do some Vajra exercises to relieve it.

What struck him as odd was that every time he practiced the Vajra Kung Fu, the little fish would turn into a human.

Normally, Mingming doesn't turn into a human until around 10 a.m.

After completing a set of Vajra Kung Fu, Ai Qing saw Xiao Yu, who had transformed into a girl, on the sofa and fell into deep thought.

Come to think of it, it's been a long time since I've asked about transformations.

"Little fish".

"Ok?"

"Does your transformation have anything to do with my Vajra Kung Fu?" Ai Qing asked with a suspicious look.

He was just guessing; it was a sudden whim, and he just thought of this possibility.

But Xiaoyu herself didn't know what the connection was. She tilted her head and frowned, not knowing how to explain it to Aiqing.

"Brother, when you practice the Vajra Kung Fu, Little Fish can become human sooner."

"Huh?" Ai Qing was stunned for a moment, not expecting this to actually happen, and an expression of disbelief appeared on her face. "Are you sure?"

"Mmm." Little Fish nodded, thought for a moment, and continued, "That's right, when you do the Vajra Kung Fu, a lot of heat will enter my body, and once it's full, I can stay human for a long time."

Ai Qing: "...?"

What the hell is that?

What does it mean for something to feel hot as it enters your body?

"Explain yourself clearly, what do you mean by 'hot'?"

"It's...it's hot." Little Fish scratched her face, unsure how to express herself more clearly, "It's a little less than before."

Has it always been like this?

“Yes, it has always been there.” Little Fish nodded.

Ai Qing: "...6".

The more I listen, the more it sounds like my own yang energy.

Could the little fish be some kind of reincarnated demon who specializes in extracting men's essence to cultivate?

But what kind of fairy would be so stupid?

He had to teach them from scratch.

"So how do you usually feel? You can describe that, right?" Ai Qing tried to guide Xiao Yu to explain what this so-called "hot" feeling was from another perspective.

"Well……"

After some troubled thought, the little fish felt that it was difficult to explain clearly just by talking.

So she ran into the bedroom, took out a draft notebook that Ai Qing had kept but rarely used from the bookshelf, grabbed a pen, and returned to the living room.

She squatted in the gap between the sofa and the coffee table, picked up a pen, and started drawing on the draft paper while talking.

"Brother, look, this is it."

"This is you, this is me."

"When we were this far apart, we were like a line."

"It will get a little thicker once you get closer."

"Now that we're quite close, we're about the thickness of an arm."

"When we're pressed together, it feels even thicker, especially when we're hugging."

"The thicker it is, the faster the heat accumulates, and the faster I can become a human."

"Of course, I can also turn into a human on my own halfway through, but in that case, there will be less heat and I won't be able to maintain my human form for very long."

Ai Qing sat on the sofa, watching Xiao Yu draw and talk, stroking her chin and savoring the taste, the more she listened, the more she felt something was wrong.

"So you've been absorbing some kind of energy from my body?" Ai Qing clicked her tongue, somewhat incomprehensible. "It's like how we use electricity to turn on the lights, can you understand?"

"No matter what we do, we need energy to supply it. For example, we need to eat. Food is digested into substances that can be converted into energy, which is then provided to us when we need it."

"Given your current condition, doesn't that mean the energy you used to become human was absorbed from me?"

"Mmm!" After listening to Ai Qing's analysis, Xiao Yu nodded vigorously. "Brother is so amazing! He explained it much more clearly than I could."

"No..." Whether it's clear or not doesn't matter, the main thing is this matter, how can it be so outrageous?

Ai Qing stared speechlessly at the little fish in front of her, unsure of what to say.

Suddenly, he thought of something, looked at Little Fish, and said quietly, "Little Fish, have you ever read a book?"

What book?

"It's called 'Battle Through the Heavens'."

"Is it also a novel?" Xiaoyu asked, puzzled, wondering why Ai Qing suddenly brought up a completely unrelated novel.

“There’s a plot in it,” Ai Qing said. “The protagonist was originally a genius with a very fast cultivation speed, but starting one day, the energy he cultivated every day would mysteriously disappear.”

"Later I found out that the old man residing in his ring was secretly absorbing the energy he usually cultivated, which prevented him from making progress in his cultivation."

"Do you think we're in the same situation?"

"Huh?!" Little Fish stood there stunned, then suddenly looked aggrieved. "Th-th-did Little Fish delay Brother's cultivation?"

"Uh...it's not that serious." Ai Qing looked embarrassed. "I was just joking."

but!

If what Xiaoyu said is true, then does that mean he is generating some kind of energy out of thin air every day?

If this energy were related to something he already possessed, and he was being drained of energy by the little fish every day, he would have been dried up long ago, right?

After all, it's the energy needed to sustain a small fish into a human, so it can't be a very small amount.

But Ai Qing didn't feel that she was affected in any way.

I have a good appetite, but my food intake hasn't increased.

Especially recently, I've been taking my little fish out frequently, which counts as some exercise, and the weakness I felt from long hours of writing has been somewhat alleviated.

According to Xiaoyu, the energy bars are as thick as an arm!

Could he have saved up that much just by eating?

If not, could it be that he actually mastered the Vajra Kung Fu and achieved real skill?

However, my poses were all copied from online videos, so they weren't quite standard.

If even he can cultivate so-called energy through practicing the Vajra Kung Fu, then wouldn't the person who truly inherited this technique have already been able to cultivate immortality?

At the very least, you've raised a bunch of magical pets that can transform into human form, like little fish, right?

Thinking about this, Ai Qing couldn't help but click her tongue, wondering how her perfectly normal urban slice-of-life style had suddenly turned into an urban fantasy.

Could it be that I'm stuck with the protagonist template from a spiritual energy revival story?!

Thinking of this, Ai Qing perked up and jumped up from the sofa.

But after actually standing up, I thought about it carefully and realized that there didn't seem to be anything I could do.

Aside from the special existence of the little fish, he hadn't heard of anything else strange happening in the past two and a half months.

The world continues to turn as usual.

Moreover, even if Xiaoyu said that such energy or spiritual energy exists, I still can't sense it at all.

Could this be his own cheat code?

On the contrary, is he actually Little Fish's human cheat code?

A pure spiritual energy supply machine, right?

"Brother, did Xiaoyu do something wrong?" Seeing that he remained silent and was startled, Xiaoyu's face was full of worry and self-blame. She couldn't help but ask, "But I couldn't control it, otherwise I wouldn't have absorbed yours."

"Don't overthink it." Ai Qing waved her hand, instead putting her mind to something else. "I'll ask you some more questions."
