Chapter 146 - Trouble Caused by a Chicken
Lu Xingran did not sleep long before she woke up. When she saw the blanket covering her body, a warm smile appeared on her face. She looked at Xiang Yang reproachfully, ”It's work time, why did you let me fall asleep?”
”I'm doing this for your good work. You see, after resting for a while, your spirit is much better and your work efficiency will also increase. This way, you will be able to spend the least amount of time doing more things.” Xiang Yang chuckled.
With Lu Xingran's previous state, although she could barely hold on and continue working, it was clear that her mental state would affect her work efficiency. Although she had only rested for a dozen or so minutes now, after Xiang Yang's ma.s.sage and recuperation, her entire spirit and spirit would be greatly improved.
”Alright, alright. At least you're right. I'm going to start working now. I'm not as free as you are.” Lu Xingran naturally knew that Xiang Yang's words made sense. Smiling, she rolled her eyes at Xiang Yang, then went back to work.
Xiang Yang did not tell Lu Xingran about the cultivation technique because he knew that even if he did tell Lu Xingran now, she would not use her work time to look at it. To her, work time was naturally the best.
From another perspective, Lu Xingran was a type of workaholic. During her working hours, she rarely did things that had nothing to do with her work. Unless it was an emergency, she would never use her working hours to do things that had nothing to do with her work.
Xiang Yang did not sit in his office as he usually did. Instead, he ran around the school, looking for a place where there were fewer people, before sitting down cross-legged and looking up at the dazzling sun in the sky with narrowed eyes. He wondered if he should try to absorb the sun's essence to cultivate.
”If I can also absorb the sun's essence for cultivation, then whether it's day or night, I will have a steady flow of energy to cultivate in the future. I won't have to be restricted by time anymore.” The moment he thought of such an enticing result, Xiang Yang couldn't help but hurriedly find a place to cultivate.
Xiang Yang had come to the lakeside where he had cultivated so many times before. He had originally wanted to try absorbing the sun's essence by the lakeside, but he discovered that there was a couple sitting there chatting about love. He couldn't disturb them, so he could only leave gloomily.
”Forget it, let's go to the uninhabited depths of the mountains to train.”
Xiang Yang thought about it for a moment and felt that it would be better to stay on that mountain peak where he had spent the entire day and night. It was desolate and quiet, with nothing to disturb him.
Xiang Yang was starting to understand why these experts, who had reached a certain level of cultivation, liked to live in seclusion.
To live in seclusion in the forest deep in the mountains was actually much more inconvenient than living in the city. Living in seclusion in the forest deep in the mountains was actually much more inconvenient than living in the city.
If they were in the city, as long as they had money, it wouldn't be a dream for them to come and go as they pleased. However, there were still so many people who would rather live in seclusion in the mountains and forests.
The first reason was that the environment within the forest was good, that it had not been destroyed, and that the spirit energy was much richer than in the city. The second reason was that Xiang Yang was currently facing a situation where the forest was completely desolate, and it was easy to cultivate in it. No matter how much activity he created, he wasn't afraid of being seen.
After deciding to cultivate deep within the mountains, Xiang Yang sent a message to Lu Xingran. Using the connection between their souls, he summoned the Silver Wolf Queen over. Ignoring the resentful gaze of the Silver Wolf Queen, it sat on the Silver Wolf Queen's back and rushed to the top of the mountain as fast as it could.
If it had been Xiang Yang alone, he would have needed nearly an hour to reach that mountain peak at his current speed. Moreover, it would have caused a lot of noise, but the Silver Wolf King's speed was simply too fast. It took him less than twenty minutes before he and Xiang Yang arrived at the mountain peak.
”Protect me well and don't let any wild beasts disturb me. If my cultivation is interrupted, I will stew you. Of course, if you protect me well, then you will have credit. I will roast you and reward you.”
After viciously threatening the Silver Wolf Queen for a while, Xiang Yang gave it another lollipop. After giving it some hope, it sat down on top of a giant boulder, its heart facing the sky, taking a posture of cultivation.
The Silver Wolf King did not have the ability to absorb the sun's essence. Instead, it lay on the ground in boredom, its green eyes staring around it as Xiang Yang's protector.
The Silver Wolf Queen could be unhappy with Xiang Yang, but it could only express its dissatisfaction with this heartless master. All of its discontent was in Xiang Yang's hands, so he still had to comply with Xiang Yang's request.
Once Xiang Yang was ready for everything, he began silently cultivating his profound arts. As a result, not long after she started cultivating, smoke began to emerge from the top of her head, sweat pouring down her body.
”They're going to burn me to death.” Xiang Yang screamed miserably as he stopped cultivating and hurriedly checked his body. Luckily, he stopped in time and didn't start burning. Otherwise, if he was seen, wouldn't he have turned into an evil disciple who cultivated some evil technique and burned himself to death?
The power of the sun could actually be considered to be one of them. Xiang Yang's idea was very correct, as he had just started cultivating with the power of the nine heavens and the stars, and there was already an endless amount of power of the sun being absorbed into his body. However, the power of the sun contained the high temperature of the sun, and after Xiang Yang absorbed it, he immediately could not endure it, his entire body burning up.
”Hoo hoo …”
Forcefully exhaling some smoke, Xiang Yang stood up with some lingering fear. He raised his head to look at the sun in the sky and muttered, ”If my body can withstand the sun's essence, then I'll be able to absorb it to cultivate.”
Even though he knew this, Xiang Yang knew that it was almost impossible to temper his body to the point where it could withstand the essence of the sun.
”Forget it, I'll just let nature take its course.”
Xiang Yang gave a casual smile and patted the Silver Wolf King's head, ”Come, let's get you something to eat.”
Hearing this, the Silver Wolf King immediately perked up and followed Xiang Yang into the mountains. One man and one wolf. They skillfully grabbed their prey and began to roast it after cleaning it by the stream.
”She should be very happy to see that Lu Li has only called the flowery chicken over. Hmm, she's so thin, it's time to make up for it.”
More than an hour later, Xiang Yang and the Silver Wolf Queen had eaten their fill. He carried the steaming, muddy Flower Chicken in his hands as he sat on the Silver Wolf Queen's back and turned into a ray of silver light that shot back the way he had come.
… ….
In Tianhai High School, within the princ.i.p.al's office, Lu Xingran was busy with the doc.u.ments in her hands. When she discovered that Xiang Yang had yet to return, she could only helplessly shake her head.
”Princ.i.p.al, let's go eat.”
At this moment, Little Ceng walked in and invited Lu Xingran over for dinner.
”No, I still have some work to do here. You go ahead and pack a copy for me when you come back.”
Lu Xingran looked at a doc.u.ment on the table and shook her head with a headache.
”Princ.i.p.al Lu, you've been busy most of the day and haven't had a break. I think it's time for you to stand up and walk around for a while and take advantage of the time we're eating to exercise. Otherwise, your body won't be able to take it anymore without a workout.” Little Zheng said with concern.
Don't worry, I have my own plans. However, the academic exchange with the island nation is about to begin, and if we don't prepare well, it will not be a matter of face for our country, but our Tianhai Junior High School. I really need to be careful with this matter. Lu Xingran said helplessly.
”But isn't it too tiring for you to be busy with this matter all by yourself? I feel that you can give this matter to Teacher Xiang. He's the one with the highest education in our academy. This kind of thing isn't something that can be done easily.” Little Zheng said with a smile.
”Eh, this is indeed a good idea. It's just that with his lazy personality, why would he do such a thing? If I were to do it for him, it would probably be done as he pleases. Forget it.” Lu Xingran's eyes lit up at first, but then he shook his head and denied it.
If it was letting Xiang Yang do the hard work, then he would still be happy to do it. After all, Xiang Yang might not be very strong, but he still had enough strength. If Xiang Yang was asked to make a proposal or something, he probably wouldn't be able to stand it any longer.
