Sorry, I'm a cultivator.

Jiang Xuetang's skin was so white that even Xueci seemed to pale in comparison.

"Lift your leg."

Hearing Li Xingzhou's voice, Jiang Xuetang obediently raised her two round, long legs and playfully draped them over Li Xingzhou's shoulders.

One was covered in black silk as thin as a cicada's wing, the other in fair, bare skin, her delicate skin like solidified jade.

In just a moment, Jiang Xuetang's voice seemed to sharpen a bit.

······

Chapter 146 Don't speak yet, kiss me...

When Jiang Xuetang walked out of the bathroom with her arm around Li Xingzhou's, her legs were still shaking.

The stockings that had been removed from her right leg had been put back on, covering her flawless white skin.

Under the dim sunlight shining through the grove, it was clear that the two stockings were different shades of black; although both were black, the stocking on the left leg was darker.

Especially when she walks, you can clearly see that Jiang Xuetang's left foot, which is in high-heeled sandals, is involuntarily sliding forward.

Five delicate, pearl-like toes stood out prominently against the backdrop of sheer black silk.

"Like stepping on muddy ground."

Li Xingzhou spoke slowly, and Jiang Xuetang couldn't help but glare at him: "Whose fault is it? I'm wearing proper high heels, are you trying to...?"

"Am I that abnormal?"

"No?" Jiang Xuetang pinched his arm. "You look so proper, but when I dragged you into the women's restroom, you were like a pervert. You were so rough; anyone who didn't know better would think you were a rapist..."

"Don't talk nonsense." Li Xingzhou put his arm around her shoulder: "If you ruin my reputation, I'll deduct your daily points."

"Oh, so you're starting to take advantage of privileges now?"

"You don't want to disappoint your mother by not getting your diploma, do you?"

"You're so wicked..." Jiang Xuetang snuggled closer to him: "Believe me or not, I'll report you to Wan Zhao and say you're a womanizer?"

"Keep quiet to each other?"

"So we just...hehehehe."

The beautiful and charming Jiang Xuetang speaks lewdly, and it has to be said, she has a captivating and alluring quality to her.

During their casual conversation, the two arrived at Lin Ming's laboratory.

Although Jiang Xuetang liked the feeling of wet stockings, there were outsiders present, so she immediately cast a spell to clean herself up.

The two guards at the gate saw that it was Li Xingzhou and opened the gate for him without stopping him, obviously having received orders from their superiors.

Li Xingzhou stepped inside. Lin Ming was the only person in the huge laboratory, obviously to prevent him from secretly giving the technology to others so that they could take it away.

Hearing the door open, Lin Ming looked up and saw that the man sitting on the stool looked much older, obviously he had been under strict surveillance recently.

Upon seeing Li Xingzhou, Lin Ming's eyes lit up for a moment. After the laboratory door closed, he wanted to stand up quickly, but considering the surveillance cameras in the area, he could only suppress the impulse in his heart.

"Director Lin," Li Xingzhou said directly, "I will be in charge of this bidding process."

Upon hearing this, Lin Ming was taken aback. Wasn't he Jiang Wanzhao's younger brother? Why was he working for the Wei tribe?

Given his ability to instantly return from Tianqi Island to Yunli territory, why would he take responsibility for this matter for the Wei Clan?

Could it be... that they've been controlled?

Lin Ming's eyes instantly sharpened, but the reassuring voice of Li Xingzhou that followed in his mind made him relax.

Come to think of it, if Li Xingzhou were truly under control, the Wei Clan would have already taken action against the Heavenly Cup on his arm.

However, the Wei people have not checked their arms in recent days.

"Director Lin, this is Jiang Xuetang, the daughter of President Jiang of Xingchen Group."

As Li Xingzhou walked, he explained, "Xingchen Group is very interested in your technology."

Upon hearing this, Lin Ming's eyes lit up again: "Miss Jiang, hello."

"Director Lin, hello." Jiang Xuetang smiled slightly, and then began to explain her company's research and application of Ling coal technology.

Lin Ming listened attentively, occasionally interjecting with a few questions, which Jiang Xuetang answered one by one.

Li Xingzhou stared intently at Jiang Xuetang, feeling quite surprised.

This girl doesn't seem to get involved in the affairs of the Starry Sky Group, but I didn't expect her to have such a wealth of knowledge about these technologies.

If you don't have some real skills, all you can do is give a dry explanation. How could you possibly answer Lin Ming's question?

And not to mention they even turned around and asked Lin Ming some questions.

Jiang Xuetang was quite pleased with the look in her beloved's eyes. After finishing her conversation with Lin Ming, she proudly put her hands on her hips and said, "I learned calculus when I was ten years old."

Even the dumbest person can't learn calculus by the age of fourteen, right?

In the eyes of the big shots, fourteen years old is the minimum age. Jiang Xuetang could do it at the age of ten, so she was obviously a genius in the eyes of the big shots.

Lin Ming was clearly a big shot, so he didn't hold back in praising Jiang Xuetang's knowledge.

Jiang Xuetang's expression grew even more smug: "Brother Xingzhou, do you understand?"

"I'm the biggest idiot of all."

“Mr. Li, you are underestimating yourself,” Lin Ming interjected. “To have the ability to instantly traverse two realms at such a young age, you are the real genius.”

With your intelligence, learning this would be a piece of cake for you.

"Look at her." Li Xingzhou reached out and patted Jiang Xuetang's head. "Do you know how to compliment someone?"

"Who told you not to study? Hmph~"

Li Xingzhou rubbed her head a few more times and said to Lin Ming, "Director Lin, just choose Xingchen Group when it comes to bidding. I'll handle the rest."

“I understand.” Lin Ming rolled up his sleeves: “I’ll give you the Cup of Heaven, and you can take me back to Yunli.”

"no problem."

Li Xingzhou nodded, secretly hoping that such skilled talent would return to Yunli.

Jiang Xuetang glanced at Lin Ming's arm, never expecting that Director Lin's wish could also bring about the Heaven's Cup...

It's strange, wasn't my desire to see Li Xingzhou strong enough back then?

Why doesn't the Heaven's Cup appear on me?

Forget it, even if it had appeared in my hands ten years ago, I wouldn't have been able to keep it.

"Director Lin, just in case, I've set up a protective spell in your mind to prevent you from being suspected that I'm putting on an act."

“That’s no problem.” Lin Ming nodded. “Speaking of which, with your abilities, why do you still need to feign friendship with the Wei Clan?”

"For my sister."

Li Xingzhou smiled and no longer concealed anything: "Tianqi Island will eventually be incorporated into Yunli's territory, but it will take some effort to completely rule it."

"If I can gather these people around me, it will make it easier for my sister to rule later."

"I see." Lin Ming suddenly realized: "Indeed, some people may hide and cause trouble from time to time, which is indeed a problem."

"But with your abilities, why not just use soul-searching?"

"How can this demonstrate Yunli's status as a kingly army?"

"Haha, that's true." Lin Ming laughed. "This time, we must make sure the Wei clan is wiped out."

"I see."

After chatting with Lin Ming for a while, Li Xingzhou led Jiang Xuetang out of the laboratory.

"Tell your master that Lin Ming is willing to cooperate."

After speaking to the two bodyguards at the door, Li Xingzhou walked out of the building.

"Sister Tang, is there anything else going on?"

"Hmm?" Jiang Xuetang blinked. "Want to go to a hotel with me?"

"What, not full?"

"I'm not some weakling like Olivia," Jiang Xuetang scoffed. "Four times isn't enough to satisfy me."

"Four times?" Li Xingzhou reacted for a second: "Oh, I mean you."

"So, if that's the case, I'll skip my next class and we can go on a date, okay?"

Jiang Xuetang looked excited: "This isn't acting like before, it's a proper date."

Just as Li Xingzhou was about to agree, seeing her expectant gaze, his phone rang.

"Who is it?" Jiang Xuetang asked, annoyed. "Why are you calling at a time like this, so blind?"

"Your mother."

"Why are you swearing at me..." Jiang Xuetang paused for a moment: "My mother?"

She leaned closer to look at Li Xingzhou's phone screen: "It really is my mom. Oh, never mind then. What does she want from you?"

Seeing Jiang Xuetang's suddenly gossipy look, Li Xingzhou said helplessly, "Why would she come to me at a time like this?"

"That's true... You should answer it quickly."

Li Xingzhou answered the phone, and Jiang Xuetang obediently remained silent, but her hands were getting a little restless.

How could this possibly work on a man?

After exchanging a few words with Jiang Yingluo in a normal tone, Li Xingzhou hung up the phone: "Did you hear that?"

"What?"

Jiang Xuetang, who was almost squatting down, blinked her peach blossom eyes: "What did she say?"

"Let's meet." Li Xingzhou pulled Jiang Xuetang up. "Stop flirting."

"Hehe~ Do you think my mom can smell my fragrance?"

"Don't add fuel to the fire."

"Okay, I know." Jiang Xuetang snorted, "Go see her and see what her attitude is. We'll have to postpone the date until next time."
