Stuck in a Chinese novel

Chapter 225: Pretty boys? (Bonus: P.S)

"What is this?" Xia Lu looked at the round pill and couldn't help but ask. Wei Jun had already given her a strange energy drink that made her feel good and her body also felt full of energy after taking it. She could even feel something strange happen to her but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

However, Wei Jun didn't have the expected reaction he was looking for and his expected gaze only made her feel stranger so just for clarification, she asked the question above.

"Just take it," was all Wei Jun said. As much as weirded out she was, she also knew that Wei Jun wasn't the type to do something strange to her, at least the one she knew wasn't so she agreed.

As soon as she swallowed it, her body began to feel warm after a few moments. The warm feeling went from her stomach to the rest of her body.

She closed her eyes at the pleasant feeling and Wei Jun held her hands to guide his own Qi through her system. The system explained the procedure of the dual cultivation but since this wasn't a set cultivation technique, all Wei Jun was acting as was a helper.

Soon enough, a horrible stench spread throughout Wei Jun's apartment and Wei Jun where it was coming from. Xia Lu was secreting waste through sweat and it was grime of dark murky liquid.

Wei Jun didn't mind the stench and focused on his own task; helping Xia Lu's Qi settle down. Since it was the system guiding him and his Qi was more prominent than Xia Lu's, there was no conflict between yin and yang and soon enough, a few circulations as Wei Jun knew were completed along with yin Qi and it finally settled back in her abdomen.

After a few moments, she finally opened her eyes, her eyes full of energy but it wasn't long before she registered the stench around her and when she was from who it was coming from…

"Ahhhhh!!!!" She screamed and ran to the bathroom. She had done everything Wei Jun had done and it was hella embarrassing for her.

She shut the door behind her and jumped into the bathtub. Wei Jun saw all that and just shook his head. He opened the windows of the apartment and turned on the exhaust fans. He also used some fragrance sprays to mask the smell which was truly a bit too much.

After an hour, when Wei Jun had finally taken care of the stench in his apartment with a plethora of fragrant sprays, he knocked on the bathroom door because Xia Lu was still inside.

"Go away!" She shouted from the inside, clear embarrassment in her voice.

Wei Jun chuckled which probably made the matter worse but he didn't couldn't help it at her reaction.

"Go away!!!" Xia Lu yelled even louder at Wei Jun's chuckle. Wei Jun sighed and pushed the door, breaking the lock of the bathroom, and entered.

"What are you doing?!" Xia Lu yelled as she hurriedly jumped into the bathtub, sinking until only her head was out.

"Come out. There's nothing we're going to accomplish if you do that." Wei Jun said.

"How could you say that after putting me through that humiliating process?!" Xia Lu yelled again to which Wei Jun simply replied, "I made you a cultivator. Now we need to proceed further."

Xia Lu's mouth opened wide when she heard about her becoming a Qi master.

She remained in the water in shock but Wei Jun didn't have much time so he said, "Hurry up and come out. We're going to begin in five minutes. Wear these." Wei Jun put a shirt and pants on the dresser and went out.

Xia Lu hurriedly stood up and dressed herself, not even making sure to wear anything underneath. After she came out, Wei Jun sitting in the middle of the living room, in the same spot they were sitting before.

She was embarrassed about it but she was also excited about becoming a Qi master so she hurriedly sat in front of Wei Jun. Wei Jun pulled a book from behind him and said, "Say yes."

"What? Why?" Xia Lu strangely asked while keeping her eyes on the strange book that emitted a chillness she could feel and not feel at the same time.

"Just say it." Wei Jun wanted to add her as a party member so he would also grow with her growth. According to the system, it would be his stats that would grow with her but his level and to be honest, that was what he needed right now.

[Would you like to assimilate the cultivation technique 'The Eternal Frost Queen' with party member Xia Lu?]

[Warning]

[Once used, the item would vanish]

[Would you like to proceed?]

[Yes\\No]

'Should I teach it to her or do it like this?' Wei Jun asked.

[Her talent isn't trashy as you but I wouldn't call her talented as well]

[If you teach her, she may be able to grasp the concept in about five years]

[Whereas the system's method would make it so she has done it all her life]

Wei Jun nodded. About five years meant she could easily take more than five years and five years wasn't a time Wei Jun was willing to wait.

He pressed yes and the book in his hand disappeared. Xia Lu saw the book disappear and looked at Wei Jun, her eyes puzzled at what just happened but before she could speak, a terrible pain assaulted her mind.

Wei Jun panicked and was about to help her when the system stopped him.

[Don't worry about it, host]

[It's just her mind getting overwhelmed by the information]

[It's much like when you get the information on novels]

[Only your mind is a lot stronger than hers]

Wei Jun nodded and retracted his hands. He let the procedure play out and it wasn't long before Xia Lu stopped clutching her head and passed out.

Wei Jun checked her internals but when he inserted his Qi into her body, his Qi clashed with Xia Lu's Qi and even though Wei Jun had a lot more Qi, his Qi was thrown out of the body with a violent jerk that hurt Wei Jun as well.

'What the…' Wei Jun wondered as his hand was numb.

[It isn't the yin Qi it was before]

[Now it is the yin qi of a queen]

[Your Qi wouldn't be able to dominate hers unless it was of the same rank]

Wei Jun nodded and stood up. He picked Xia Lu and took her to his bed. He laid her down on the bed and then left the room.

Although he was eager to start, he decided to let Xia Lu rest while he dealt with the rest of the matters.

He still had his meeting pending with Sun Ruan but more than that, he had to look for someone.

Someone who he had to kill.

And the perfect person to call for that was none other than…

"Mister Ruan, nice of you to contact me." Mark Wilson said from the other side.

Wei Jun skipped the useless chatter and said, "Meet me at the usual place. I have an assignment for you."

In just half an hour, Mark Wilson and Wei Jun were sitting in the middle of a luxurious restaurant, eating steak and discussing business.

"Tao Min? Is there anything more to go other than just a name? It is a pretty common name." Mark Wilson said.

"Narrow down the search to someone young and handsome." Wei Jun specified. One thing he knew after going through two protagonists was that all of them were handsome as hell.

So that must have been a requirement for the protagonists.

Mark Wilson, on the other hand, terribly misunderstood the meaning of the task. Here he was, his employer asking him to find a man and the requirement was that he was young and handsome. What else was he supposed to think?

'I didn't know he swung that way.' Mark Wilson thought inwardly before he said, "I will find him but still, the task is too vague and the resources spent on doing such a thing would be difficult for me as well. After all, I'm not looking for a specific person but a needle in a haystack."

Wei Jun nodded and pulled out a treasure, encased in a glass cover and placed it on the table. The chill emitting from the wood like treasure chilled the surroundings as well.

"This will increase the Qi of someone by a great amount after absorption. You can use this." Wei Jun said.

Mark Wilson took the treasure with trembling hands because he knew what it was. It was the same treasure he had tried to obtain through a powerful employee but couldn't because its price was in billions of yuans.

But now, he couldn't help but feel overwhelmed by the nonchalant payment made by this employer of his whose status was even lower than his aforementioned employee.

'Just who are you?' Mark couldn't help but wonder but he was wise enough to keep his mouth shut.

He wasn't going to get an answer from Wei Jun anyway so he nodded and said, "This is more payment than the task I will pour my heart and soul in finding your man."

Wei Jun felt a little strange about how Mark Wilson worded the reply, but he nodded regardless and said, "I will be waiting for your response."
