Chapter 107: Chapter 82: Diamond Barbie! You talk rules with a playboy? (4K)_2

---

Under the red martial robe, his body was burly and his muscles were bulging, sitting there like a crouching bear and a lurking tiger, giving off an intense oppressive feel.

It was as if a baby-faced was attached to the body of a muscular man, looking quite mismatched.

"Try this, this is the finest Purple Lu Spring, a real treasure."

Shen Shuqiu said with a smile.

The woman stretched out two fingers, pinched the delicate teacup, and tilted her head to pour it into her mouth.

She smacked her lips, unable to taste anything.

Frustrated, she picked up the teapot and started gulping it down from the spout.

Glug glug glug—

"..."

Shen Shuqiu’s eyelids twitched, feeling a bit of pain.

"Such a waste of heaven’s gifts! This pot costs ten silver!"

Li Kui set down the empty teapot, wiped her mouth, and asked, "It didn’t quench my thirst, can I have another pot?"

"..."

Shen Shuqiu felt that if this continued, he’d go bankrupt, so he jumped straight to the point, "I invited you today because there’s something to discuss... Recently appointed Cheng Hundred Households of the Ding Fire Department, I hope you can look out for him."

The Fire Department has two Deputy Thousand Households; Li Kui is one of them.

The two were General before and had worked together multiple times; they were somewhat acquainted.

Unlike the ambition-filled Lord Jian Yinsan, Li Kui indulged in body refinement and was not interested in these scheming plots.

That was the reason Shen Shuqiu approached her.

Li Kui shook her head, "You know, I never meddle in affairs of the Government."

Shen Shuqiu took out an ancient book stitched along the spine from his bosom and placed it before her, the cover reading "Pure Essence Body Refining Truth."

"I wouldn’t ask for your help for nothing."

"This book was written by Pure Element True Man, containing his insights and understandings on body refinement; it should be of great benefit to you."

Li Kui flipped through it, her eyes slightly lighting up.

"This really is a treasure. You’re actually willing to give it to me?"

"My martial arts focus on Refining Intent; this suits you better... And I’ve already copied the contents," Shen Shuqiu explained frankly.

Li Kui became curious, asking, "What’s your relationship with that Chen Mo? He’s worth all this effort for you?"

He’s my future brother-in-law!

Shen Shuqiu cleared his throat and said, "You don’t need to worry about that; Lord Jian will certainly target him. If their conflict intensifies, I hope you can mediate."

Li Kui stuffed the ancient book into her ample bosom, agreeing eagerly, "Alright, I’ll look out for him."

Shen Shuqiu nodded, "Thank you."

Li Kui added, "As long as he doesn’t violate any major principles."

Shen Shuqiu reassured her with a smile, "Don’t worry, Chen Mo always follows rules; he won’t cause trouble..."

Footsteps—

Bang!

Urgent footsteps approached, and then the door was thrust open.

An Assistant Officer came in gasping for air, his expression anxious, "Lord Shen, it’s bad news. Hundred Households Chen and Lord Jian have started fighting!"

?

Shen Shuqiu’s smile froze on his face.

Li Kui glanced at him sideways, muttering, "So much for not causing trouble; I knew there’s no such thing as free cultivation techniques..."

Shen Shuqiu: "..."

...

Huai Zhen Fang.

By the time Shen Shuqiu and Li Kui rushed to the training ground, the fight had nearly reached its climax.

Assistant Officers from various government departments had all come out, shoulder to shoulder, watching two figures clashing mid-air.

Just as Li Kui was about to step in to break it up, she noticed something amiss.

It seemed like Chen Mo was suppressing Lord Jian?

Clang—

Clang—

Clang—

In a blink of an eye, the two exchanged numerous blows, moving too fast for the naked eye to follow.

Lord Jian grew more and more alarmed as they fought.

His Twin-Headed Axe of Ziwu, known for being exceedingly tricky and close-combat, was usually hard to defend against.

But in front of Chen Mo, it barely gained any advantage.

Every time he made a move, Chen Mo was already prepared, as if seeing through all his tactics, aiming straight for his weak spots, forcing him into a defensive position.

Utterly frustrating!

Chen Mo’s eyes gleamed with a golden light.

Lord Jian’s movements appeared increasingly slow in his vision, giving him ample time to spot weaknesses.

However, this ability also came with limitations—

Firstly, it consumed Soul Power very quickly.

If he used it to slow down drastically, it could last at most the duration a stick of incense would burn.

Secondly, it placed a great strain on the body.

To keep up with his eyes, he had to fully activate the "Wind and Thunder Invocation," and his muscles were at risk of being harmed due to rapid stretching and compression.

"Lord Jian is a lot stronger than Chu Zhuo."
