I will eventually become a divine being through accumulating constantly

"Nothing… nothing at all,"

Zhu Shanying stepped back with her hands behind her, her face showing clear guilt.

"I really didn't do anything!"

The young girl argued.

Xue Jing looked at her twice, thought for a moment, and said,

"I don't believe that."

He rubbed his temples, stood up, and walked towards Zhu Shanying.

The girl, seeing him approach, kept retreating as Xue Jing would advance a step, she'd step back one, her hands still protecting something behind her back, as if they were playing a game of eagle catching chicks.

"I really didn't do anything... don't come over!"

She spoke somewhat frantically.

Upon hearing this, Xue Jing not only did not stop, but instead speeded up and walked towards her.

"Wait… wait a moment!"

Zhu Shanying had already backed up against the wall, with nowhere else to retreat.

Xue Jing ignored her protests, reached out, and touched her head, feeling the softness of her hair that flowed like a black waterfall.

Then, as if twisting a bottle cap, he turned his palm, causing her petite body to involuntarily pivot, revealing what she had been hiding behind her.

"Huh? Lipstick?"

What Zhu Shanying held in her hand was a small, rather expensive-looking black lipstick.

Seeing this, Xue Jing rubbed his lips with his finger, took a look, and found a trace of red on his fingertips.

"...I just thought you looked so pretty, and makeup would only enhance that."

"So I couldn't help but apply a little."

Zhu Shanying said with a sheepish grin.

"It really does look nice! If you dressed up a bit and wore women's clothes, you'd be absolutely stunning!"

Xue Jing gave her a speechless look.

"Your idea is good, just don't think about it again."

Zhu Shanying quickly stepped forward, took his arm, and cooed,

"Don't be mad, little junior brother, I won't do it again..."

Touching his arm gently, she could feel the soft warmth of it. Xue Jing glanced at her and pondered,

"I'm not mad... but the way you put it, it seems like you're hinting there might be a next time?"

The young girl continued to pout,

"Not at all, you're just too sensitive."

"Alright, I came here to invite you to lunch together, let's head downstairs, little junior brother."

Xue Jing nodded.

The two left the training room together.

Zhu Shanying lagged a few steps behind Xue Jing, watching his back with a relieved expression.

Then, she lightly touched her radiant red lips, her cheeks slightly flushed, and a smile crept into the corners of her mouth.

...

After having lunch with the mischievous Sister Zhu, she went out to busily handle her business again.

Xue Jing, feeling unusually drained and unwilling to practice martial arts today, decided to take the day off.

Carrying the Crouching Rabbit Sword, he left the estate, hailed a taxi, and planned to visit Hidden Dragon Dojo to check on the renovation progress and meet his master whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Although Zhu Shanying's estate and Hidden Dragon Dojo were in different districts, they weren't far from each other, just under half an hour away.

Xue Jing paid with a scan code, thanked the driver, got out of the car, entered the office building, and took the elevator to Hidden Dragon Dojo.

The sounds of hammering and drilling were continuous; Xue Jing went to the reception desk for a look.

There sat a receptionist with an attractive figure dressed in a cheongsam.

It was the same cheongsam girl Xue Jing had encountered on his first visit to Hidden Dragon Dojo.

She was currently leaning on the reception desk, idly scrolling through her phone, looking like she could fall asleep any second.

Feeling a bit playful, Xue Jing silently walked up to her and tapped the table with the knuckles of his fingers.

The tap looked gentle, but the force went through his fingertips, producing a heavy thud on the marble table.

The posture of the cheongsam girl leaning on the table was already susceptible to the vibrations of the table; she instantly jumped up from her chair in fright at the sound.

Xue Jing, however, did not linger and quietly entered the main gate after his tap.

The cheongsam girl looked up, saw nothing in front of her, and murmured somewhat scared,

"...Did I see a ghost?"

Entering the dojo, Xue Jing looked around. The renovations were nearly complete, with the corridors almost finished and the training area laying down a new rubber floor with new equipment being installed.

It looked like it would be finished in a few days.

After checking out the progress, he walked inside to the Heart-Nourishing Room.

This room, made of special materials, had the best soundproofing in the entire dojo. Even with the ongoing noisy renovations outside, once the door was closed, the Heart-Nourishing Room remained quite quiet, only minor sounds could be heard.

Xue Jing opened the door, walked in, and casually closed it.

"Master."

Xue Jing respectfully greeted Li Qi, who was flipping through an old thread-bound book at his desk.

"Hmm? Little Jing, I haven't seen you in days, and you've come at just the right time,"

Li Qi put down his book and smiled.

He moved his wheelchair closer to Xue Jing.

"Let the old man see your progress these past few days."

Xue Jing nodded, "Yes."

He extended his hand, which was then grasped by Li Qi's aged palm.

A surge of power seeped into Xue Jing's body through his wrist, prompting his body to instinctively move. The True Dragon inside him let out an irritated dragon roar, ready to counterattack automatically.

At that moment, Xue Jing's thoughts shifted, and his strong and powerful spirit immediately suppressed the True Dragon's dissatisfaction, making it shut up and stay silent.

Li Qi, seeing this, was slightly shocked.

"You've managed to control the True Dragon inside you to this extent... Incredible, it hasn't been long."
