Chapter 396 The person I expected has finally arrived.
"Hiss... No wonder I've felt like my cultivation has sped up a lot lately! So that's why!" Hong Xiudie immediately understood Li Muyang's meaning!
So, it turns out that the first to benefit from the spiritual energy revival are actually these chefs?
Oh, no, to be precise, it should be called a Master Chef, because glowing dishes are the standard for Master Chefs.
"Do you think... the reason my grandfather contacted you might be related to this?" Hong Xiudie asked, her mind racing.
Li Muyang shrugged: "If you don't know, how could I possibly know? I've never even met your old man, and I've never even heard of him before."
"However, your fingers are practically cheat codes! A treasure appraisal artifact!"
Hong Xiudie finally realized what was happening, and her expression gradually changed from bewilderment to surprise! That's right! Her talent, which she had never paid much attention to, had now become a treasure-appraisal tool?
"Is your testing method limited to just one form of light?" Ai suddenly asked from the side. Everyone present understood what she meant: if it could only be demonstrated by light, it would be a bit too ostentatious!
If someone uses this method to shop on Taobao, after doing it a few times, everyone will realize that something is wrong.
Hong Xiudie gave a wicked smile to her innocent face: "How could that be! It's just to make it more concrete for you! Otherwise, I can control whether my fingers glow or not! I know the results of testing glowing dishes myself!"
Well, that means the glowing effect is just one manifestation; if Hong Xiudie wants, she can choose not to glow during the testing process! That way, only she will know the final result!
Upon learning of this, Li Muyang, Xiao Ai, and Xia He were all filled with emotion, realizing that this had truly become a "golden touch"!
"Speaking of which, we've only met twice, and you've already told us this kind of secret?" Xia He changed the subject again.
Hong Xiudie waved her hand dismissively: "It's nothing! If Old Li hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have known I had this talent! Let alone that it could be used in this way!"
"And for some reason, I felt strangely close to Lao Li the first time we met! Just like my brother! I'm not the type to easily trust strangers!"
"To be honest, I feel the same way." Li Muyang nodded thoughtfully. "Perhaps this is fate."
Ai stared at the two of them, recalling the relationship between her family and the Akai family. Suddenly, an idea popped into her head, but she immediately shook her head. Impossible. These two people are not from the same world. How could they be related by blood?
Li Muyang and Hong Xiudie thought the same thing.
(Perhaps that old man Hong Anguo knows some secrets.) Li Muyang didn't think too much about it. He just found Hong Xiudie pleasing to the eye and felt a strange sense of closeness to her. It wasn't a big deal.
Even if the two of them might have some kind of relationship, so what? It won't stop them from being friends, right?
As for what Hong Xiudie was thinking: (This kid...could it be one of the old man's past romantic entanglements?)
(Wait a minute, they're from the Immortal Realm... wait! There's no rule that everyone from the Immortal Realm is from the Immortal Realm, right? What if they're exceptionally talented and were taken there by an immortal? As for their surname, maybe they took their mother's! Hehehe! Grandpa! This secret could make me eat you for the rest of my life! Grandpa! You don't want Grandma to know either...)
Li Muyang stared at Hong Xiudie, whose smile was becoming increasingly lewd, and couldn't help but shift his position. Damn it, what is this girl thinking? Her smile is so lewd!
He casually covered Ai's eyes, saying, "You can't look, you'll learn bad habits."
As for Xia He, she's already bad enough.
After chatting for a while, Hong Xiudie took her leave. She had come out for a stroll over the weekend, made a visit, and had other things to do.
No sooner had they left than a proper person arrived!
The first person I expected.
"Qinglan, you've finally arrived." Ai opened the door and welcomed in a tall, mature woman in a cheongsam. It was none other than Pu Si Qinglan, a professional mercenary assassin from a certain movie!
"I'm sorry, boss, I ran into some trouble and it took a while to resolve it." Pu Siqinglan gave a formulaic, polite smile, but her eyes revealed a hint of displeasure.
Yes, Li Muyang could sense that this displeasure wasn't directed at Xiao Ai, or even at anyone else present.
It seems they encountered some trouble on the way, causing Pu Siqinglan to be delayed for a while, which is why they are so unhappy now.
A quick glance reveals that, to be honest, the Pusi Qinglan is a classic thorny rose—it really pricks, but it's undeniably beautiful! Her figure and appearance are both superb! Her seemingly frail body conceals immense power.
Ai casually reminded him, "Tone it down a bit. You don't want to go down the same path forever, do you?"
Pu Siqinglan smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I just gave him a casual beating! I didn't kill him."
Ai shook her head: "What I mean is, make it as clean as possible! Don't leave any flaws!"
Pu Siqinglan's lips twitched. Good heavens! So you thought my approach was too conservative?
Li Muyang reached out and smacked Xiao Ai: "This is a society governed by law! Take it easy! How did you end up going astray too!"
"You should have told me before you did this! If you leave behind any unprocessed evidence, it'll be terrible if someone gets hold of it! Unless you're not planning to stay here!"
Ai nodded seriously: "Understood!"
Xia He couldn't help but complain, "Good grief! You said you learned bad things from someone else, but didn't you learn them from me?"
Li Muyang shifted his gaze: "What I said applies to you too! Don't go looking for trouble! But if someone foolishly comes knocking on your door, then clean them up! Don't cause trouble, but don't be afraid of trouble either!"
Xia He and Xiao Ai nodded again, seemingly enjoying the gesture immensely.
Pu Siqinglan: This family is really scary! Unlike us! We are law-abiding, five-star good citizens!
Li Muyang had no intention of continuing the lecture. He waved his hand and said to Pu Siqinglan, "Alright! Let's get down to business! Your health is the most important thing! Get it checked out as soon as possible and you'll recover quickly!"
Pu Siqinglan hurriedly came over and asked, "What should I do?"
"Just give me your wrist," Li Muyang said. Pu Siqinglan had already sat down on the sofa and placed her arm flat on the armrest. Li Muyang extended two fingers and placed them on her wrist to begin taking her pulse.
To be honest, Li Muyang doesn't need to take pulses to examine others now. He can use his divine sense to perceive the body, which is almost as effective as taking pulses, and may even be more efficient. Besides, Li Muyang takes pulses in the same way, using his divine sense to perceive the patient's physical condition.
Therefore, the action of taking a pulse was merely to make Li Muyang appear more professional; otherwise, the patient might have objections.
Li Muyang couldn't exactly explain, "You're standing here, it's like you're naked to me, right? I can see through you, I can see right through your body? My spiritual sense is like an X-ray?"
He'd probably get slapped twice by the patient and called a scoundrel.
After a long while, Li Muyang withdrew his hand.
"How was it?" Pu Siqinglan asked curiously.
Li Muyang said leisurely, "Seventh Sense...you awakened your Seventh Sense with the help of the Elemental Stone, right?"
Pu Siqinglan nodded: "That's right."
Ai explained, "I obtained a stone mask inlaid with gemstones in an ancient castle, and then Pu Siqinglan inexplicably awakened."
As he spoke, he took out a stone mask with a gemstone between its eyebrows, and the overall style looked strangely familiar.
Li Muyang selectively ignored it.
“Pu Siqinglan and I have studied it, but we still can’t figure out how to use it. She awakened in a daze, and all my efforts have been in vain,” Xiao Ai explained.
"I never imagined that your seventh sense would be such a high-precision control over your body..." Li Muyang's lips twitched wildly. This world is truly a circle! A villain who only had a minor role in a movie actually has the exact same seventh sense ability as Brother Xuan Yue, the eldest prince of Gu Xilan!
Of course, the level of development is incomparable. Pu Siqinglan will probably never reach the level of that eldest prince in her lifetime; the starting point difference is too great! According to Xuan Yue, that prince has already begun inhuman-level evolution! And he can control it perfectly!
His evolution includes his brain!
As for Pu Siqinglan? Her abilities are similar, that's true, but unless someone helps her cleanse her marrow and bones, transforming her completely, she will never be able to reach the level of evolution!
All we can say is that Pu Siqinglan has the potential to become the eldest prince, but whether that potential can be realized remains to be seen.
At least for now, she can't even solve the problem of reversing aging!
Pu Siqinglan is currently more concerned about whether the condition can be cured. After all, this ability is very useful; her physical strength has increased significantly, and her various skills have also improved noticeably! Even her mind is much sharper! But the side effects are just too severe! Before, she was almost thirty! Now, having only awakened her ability not long ago, she's almost regressed in age and is back to the age of a young woman in her late twenties!
"Boss, do you have a way?" Pu Siqinglan immediately started her seductive mode...it's an occupational hazard.
For someone like her, who roams the world, beauty is also a form of capital that can be utilized.
Instead of directly explaining the specific method for treating the side effects of the Seventh Sense, Li Muyang reached out and pointed to Pu Siqinglan's left calf, right abdomen, and right arm, saying, "There are still some fragments remaining in these parts of your body. Let me remove them all for you."
Pu Siqinglan was stunned and couldn't come to her senses for a long time. How did you know?
These are all old injuries, but the fragments are too small to be detected by a metal detector. They have been in the body for a long time and have never had any impact on it. Pu Siqinglan has gotten used to it... or rather, ignored it.
"How do we retrieve it?" Pu Siqinglan asked, frowning. If it required a lot of time to recuperate, then her next plans might have to be postponed for a while.
Well, it's important business. Didn't Ai start a company? It's actually a cosmetics company that also treats scars. She developed all the techniques herself, and Uesugi Erii has invested in it. To be precise, she's essentially sponsoring it and helping to get her a foothold!
However, Ai, the real boss, is not suitable to handle company matters in person, so the task of appearing in public falls to her subordinate, Qinglan.
