Chapter 20: The Guest Arrives at Night

  "Yingying sister's admiration for you is like the endless Yangtze River, so she asked me to bring her to meet you and get to know you." Liu Hao's voice was not loud, just enough for the two of them to hear.

  "Pffft!"

  "Master! Don't play around like this!" Liu Hao took a cloth from beside him and vigorously wiped his face.

  "What a mess! That's a rag!"

  "Whoa!"

  "What do you want? Bringing such a beautiful woman to my place at this late hour!"

  "Master, don't you understand yet?" Liu Hao raised an eyebrow and smiled with ill intentions, continuing to say: "We were just drinking together in a bar, she asked me about you."

  "How did she know mine?"

  "That day you had an awesome match, she was there too! Then I gave you a call to ask if you were free, and we came over. No need to think about it, I knew what she wanted to do." Liu Hao covered his mouth with a sly smile.

  "What's wrong with you! Stop messing around!"

  "What's there to be afraid of? You possess all the charms that men have, you're handsome, in good shape, and so capable. It's only natural for women to like this."

  Lei Yu furrowed his brow and stopped paying attention to this absurd apprentice, carrying the juice and walking out. He handed the juice over to Cui Yanyan.

  "Thank you!" The sweet voice like a warbler made Lei Yu feel a little numb, and he secretly shivered with excitement.

  "Excuse me..." Although Lei Yu felt a bit awkward asking this, he still said it out loud, "Is there anything I can help with so late at night?"

  She took a sip of the juice in her cup and smiled sweetly: "I like you very much, I hope we can be friends."

  "Ah!" Lei Yu's mouth opened wide, his chin almost dropping to the ground.

  "I watched your match that day, it was too fierce, just a slight raise of the hand and you broke that guy's arm." Cui Yanyan was still savoring the match from that day.

  "Thank you."

  "I also know about your background. Being driven out of a prestigious family is indeed hard to accept, but it's okay, you're very strong and I admire you."

  "Thank you." Lei Yu didn't have anything else to say either.

  "There are thousands of people in school chasing after me, but I've never given them a serious look. It's not because of my family background, it's just that I think they're all mediocre, without any real talent or learning. But you're different."

  "Sorry, I...I don't plan on finding a girlfriend right now!" Lei Yu had to emphasize this point. It wasn't that the Cui Yanyan in front of him wasn't beautiful enough. As a human being, one would still occasionally feel primal urges or impulses, but Lei Yu couldn't, because he already had someone else in his heart.

  "It's okay." Seeing Lei Yu's somewhat embarrassed expression, Cui Yingying smiled and said: "We can take it slow! I'll go first, Liu Hao, are you coming with me?"

  "What? Oh, Yingying sister, you go first, I still have something to say to Master."

  Sweetly smiled, Cui Yanyan moved her jade feet towards the door and walked away. Lei Yu even forgot to see off the guest, but it seemed that the other party didn't mind too much, opening the door and leaving on their own.

  "Master, you've really made a fortune! I didn't expect Sister Ying to be so direct! This is something I've never seen before!" Liu Hao came over with a sly smile on his face.

  "You damn fool! Why didn't you call ahead before coming over just now?"

  "I'm still thinking, if I don't say it, what if you're practicing naked... the scene..." Liu Hao narrowed his eyes, as if he was imagining an infinitely beautiful picture.

  "Looking for death!" Lei Yu turned around and raised his hand to hit. "Ahh! Master, spare my life! I know I was wrong! Ahh!"

  Liu Hao didn't stay for too long and just briefly introduced Cui Yanyan to Lei Yu.

  This beautiful girl is a sophomore at Tenglong Academy University, and naturally there are not a few people who have been chasing her every day. However, she has always ignored them, a real ice beauty. Many people hope to be the flame that can melt this layer of ice, but the result is predictable.

  Cui Yingying's family may not be as awe-inspiring as the Four Great Powers, but in Tenglong Country, they are considered to be quite well-off, owning a nationwide chain of jewelry businesses under the name "Cui Ying".

  This rich young lady is a dazzling diamond in the eyes of all students, not only with an appearance that makes men impulsive, but also with a prominent family.

  Lei Yu was somewhat perplexed, the governor's son was so enthusiastic about himself because he wanted to learn his skills, but this Cui Yanyan actually also because of his own strength, it seems that getting stronger is not a bad thing, but thinking of Ai Er, Lei Yu shook his head vigorously.

  Putting aside these distracting thoughts, Lei Yu pinched the jade pendant on his neck again and took a long breath before taking off his clothes and sitting down cross-legged.

  The true energy inside the body is vast and boundless, and it is impacting all parts of the meridians with a torrential momentum. Although this approach may seem crazy for ordinary cultivators, if the meridian breaks, they will face irreparable losses. However, Lei Yu doesn't need to worry about this at all, as he has the power of the green light to protect him, and everything can proceed smoothly and unimpeded.

  As he absorbed the thin spiritual energy in the air, Lei Yu's body suddenly shook violently, "This...what's going on?"

  A warm and gentle power was transmitted from the outside world, entering his body. This power was completely pure, without any impurities, and didn't need the Spirit Pearl's help to purify it. Lei Yu carefully sensed this pure power and was shocked to discover that it was actually coming from the jade pendant on his chest!

  Overjoyed in his heart, Lei Yu concentrated his spiritual power on the pure energy that had entered his body, and with ease, he grasped control.

  The Qi Hai at the Dan Tian is also constantly devouring this power, as if it were a starving ghost that can never be satiated, frantically absorbing.

  He faintly spat out a mouthful of turbid air, and this jade pendant was also emitting a crystal green light in the dark night. Lei Yu's consciousness involuntarily drew closer to the pendant, spinning between heaven and earth, suddenly falling into a pitch-black world.

  Lei Yu looked around, but all he saw was darkness. He himself was standing in the midst of this dark emptiness. This scene was indeed strange and frightening, but it only existed in his consciousness. Lei Yu wasn't afraid to that extent.

  In the dark space, a bright light suddenly appeared, and this bright light slowly grew larger. Lei Yu subconsciously took a few steps forward, it was a full moon!

  "Could it be related to the 'moon' character on the jade pendant?"

  Under close observation, Lei Yu confirmed his thoughts. The full moon gradually rose into the air, and its soft, warm glow shone on Lei Yu in a white cylindrical shape, bringing a warm and comfortable feeling to every part of his body.

  It was precisely this comfort that made Lei Yu reluctant to miss it, and he began a different kind of absorption. These warm powers would have an astonishing growth every time they were absorbed by the dantian in Lei Yu's body.

  Is this the power of Yuan Yue? Why did it appear in this jade pendant? Lei Yu didn't understand these questions, but since there was a stepping stone to improve, why not step on it?

  The warm power brought to the body is that kind of excitement, a comfort never felt before. Lei Yu put all his energy into it and as time went on, gradually, the true energy inside his body was increasing at a terrifying speed. In the end, Lei Yu had a feeling of fullness in his abdomen.

  "No! Must stop absorbing quickly!"

  If it doesn't stop soon, it's likely to cause the body to swell due to the explosion of true energy inside, and there is a possibility of bursting! Lei Yu had read about this in some ancient scrolls before. The amount of true energy that a person's body can withstand depends on their own strength. If the strength does not meet the requirements and the true energy exceeds the limit, it will lead to loss of control, resulting in explosion and death.

  "How can I get out of here?!" Lei Yu's forehead was covered in sweat, he couldn't withdraw his consciousness from the jade pendant!
