"Shi Qingxuan, what are you laughing about? You have a smile on your face, as if you've eaten honey."
Seeing Shi Qingxuan suddenly so happy, Shen Lang asked confusedly.
"Country bumpkin, you ate honey, your whole family ate honey."
Shi Qingxuan's mood suddenly improved, but being provoked by Shen Lang like this almost made her explode.
"Don't be angry, don't be angry, getting sick from anger won't be helped by anyone. Your life is your own, take care of yourself."
Shi Qingxuan patted her chest, telling herself inwardly.
Since she had decided to infiltrate the enemy's ranks and find evidence of Shen Lang's misconduct, she couldn't fall out with him now.
Thinking this, Shi Qingxuan looked at Shen Lang, her smile growing even wider.
"Brother Shen, I'm happy for you. Congratulations on getting a new car."
Shi Qingxuan had a peerlessly beautiful face, and her entire person was pure and clean. Even if she lied, others would believe her.
Indeed, upon hearing Shi Qingxuan's words, Shen Lang did not doubt her, but he no longer paid attention to her.
Shen Lang turned to Luo Qingxue and said, "The bet just now was a joke, please don't take it to heart. Please wash the car and get the license plate done for me. I'd appreciate it."
"What?"
Hearing Shen Lang's words, both Luo Qingxue, He Yan, and the other female sales representatives were shocked.
They thought that after Shen Lang signed the contract and swiped the card, he would be arrogant and mock them for looking down on him.
But they never expected Shen Lang to seem unfazed by what happened earlier, and his tone was so polite.
Thinking about how she had despised Shen Lang in her heart, even though she didn't show it on her face, Luo Qingxue and the others blushed.
"Shen Lang?"
Luo Qingxue and He Yan looked at the powerful and sharp signature on the contract, and for a moment, they developed an inexplicable good feeling towards the man in front of them.
The efficiency of the car dealership was undeniable. In less than two hours, not only was the car washed, but the license plate was also processed.
Two hours later, Shen Lang drove the car with Shi Qingxuan, leaving the dealership and heading to the villa.
"Brother Shen, you live at Villa 29, Emperor's Villa Garden?"
When Shen Lang opened the villa gate, Shi Qingxuan was shocked and said, "I heard that Villa 29 in Emperor's Villa Garden belongs to Yang Ce, the King of Nanling. How can you live here?"
"You're right, this villa did belong to Yang Ce before, but he gave it to my girlfriend. Now it's hers."
Shen Lang said, "The villa has four floors, with four rooms on each floor. Pick a room on the third or fourth floor to stay in for the night. It's just a makeshift arrangement."
"There are ingredients in the refrigerator in the kitchen. If you're hungry, cook for yourself. Don't worry about me."
"Brother Shen, are you going out?"
Hearing Shen Lang's words, Shi Qingxuan said in shock.
"No, I have something to do in my room. If you have nothing else to do, please don't disturb me by coming in."
After saying that, Shen Lang went directly into his room on the first floor.
The battle with Nalan Wushuang in the teahouse, although there was no direct confrontation, fighting against such a master had caused his Xuan Guan to loosen considerably.
Time was of the essence, and Shen Lang had to strike while the iron was hot to impact the Xuan Guan. Even if he couldn't break through the Xuan Guan to reach the Earth Realm, he had to stabilize his current state.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Shen Lang closed his eyes, circulated the Yi Jin Jing, and continuously impacted the Xuan Guan that hindered him from entering the Earth Realm.
However, each time he circulated the Yi Jin Jing to impact the Xuan Guan, it was like a drop of water hitting a stone slab. Although there was some movement, it was always unable to break through the slab.
In five hours, Shen Lang had tried thousands of times. Although his martial arts cultivation had improved greatly, he was still unable to break through the last step, and he felt inexplicably restless.
He suddenly had a crazy idea: if circulating the Yi Jin Jing couldn't open the Xuan Guan, perhaps adding the Ice Cold Strength could.
The Yi Jin Jing was a supreme and powerful internal energy, while the Ice Cold Strength was a supreme gentle and sinister internal energy. This was like the yin and yang in the Eight Trigrams.
"One yin and one yang is the Tao." Shen Lang pondered, perhaps combining the two internal energies could create a miracle.
Shen Lang was a person who acted as soon as he thought of something, never procrastinating. He quickly circulated both the Yi Jin Jing and the Ice Cold Strength simultaneously and directed them towards the Xuan Guan.
However, what Shen Lang did not expect was that after simultaneously circulating two diametrically opposed internal energies, he felt as if he were rolling in lava one moment and falling into an ice cave in the extreme north the next, an unbearable pain.
"What is that country bumpkin doing inside?"
While Shen Lang was in agony, Shi Qingxuan quietly arrived at Shen Lang's door.
"That country bumpkin has been in the room for five hours with no noise. Could it be that he's secretly destroying evidence of his crimes because I'm here?"
Shi Qingxuan's face was solemn. "No, I can't let this country bumpkin destroy the evidence of his crimes. If he destroys all the evidence, how can I prove to my grandfather that he's a criminal? How can I get my grandfather to annul the engagement?"
"I must stop him. I must stop him."
Shi Qingxuan's face was filled with righteousness. "A criminal is destroying evidence in the room. I must consider if this is my last chance to expose the criminal's wickedness and restore the glory of justice. It is my bounden duty."
"Bang!"
Having said that, Shi Qingxuan kicked open the door and shouted, "Shen Lang, what are you doing?"
"Ah!"
Shen Lang was in agony, using the Yi Jin Jing and Ice Cold Strength to break through the Xuan Guan, and it was at a critical juncture. His mind was highly concentrated. When Shi Qingxuan shouted like this, he was startled, and his mind was disturbed. The true qi of the Yi Jin Jing and Ice Cold Strength transformed into countless streams and shot into various acupoints of Shen Lang's body, causing him to let out a painful cry.
Shen Lang's pained cry made Shi Qingxuan's face turn pale. She stood frozen on the spot, unable to speak for a long time.
Shi Qingxuan couldn't understand what had happened to Shen Lang, why he suddenly became so painful after she shouted.
However, soon, the doubt on Shi Qingxuan's face turned into terror.
Because she saw Shen Lang's eyes turn from black to scarlet, and his entire person exuded an indescribable evil charm.
"Run!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Shi Qingxuan turned to flee without a second word.
But as soon as she moved, Shen Lang grabbed her shoulder and then held her tightly.
"Shen Lang, you country bumpkin, what do you want?"
Shi Qingxuan was pure and clean. Since childhood, all boys had liked her, but they only dared to admire her from afar and keep their distance. Being held tightly by Shen Lang, Shi Qingxuan was both ashamed and angry.
"I want you—"
Shen Lang, like a robot, spoke with no emotion and said coldly, then lowered his head and kissed Shi Qingxuan on the lips.
