Chapter 41 The Taoist Priest’s First “Flirting”

‘This humble Taoist priest can now ride the central elevator for free.’

Wang Jixuan walked with his hands behind his back on the asphalt road in Central Park.

There is artificial sunlight lighting here, and the sunrise and sunset will be simulated according to the day and night changes outside the fortress.

There are two huge paintings on the left and right sides of the massive elevator shaft.

The painting on the east side is “The Abundant Tree,” in which a giant tree reaches the sky and touches the ground, with the outline of a city on the ground behind it, and the fortress appearing during the day.

The painting on the west side is “Starry Night and Moon,” which appears at night when the fortress is at night, depicting a starry sky and a moon.

The east side is realistic, the west side is abstract, and both have good artistic elements.

The only thing he was grateful to his landlady for was that, while living in the wooden building, he could freely read the books that were categorized and comparable to a standard library in the Midwest.

Previously, in Mu Liang’s memory, only water was a free resource, but Wang Jixuan recently found another free resource.

books.

Various kinds of books.

As long as you follow the library’s rules, register to borrow books, return them on time, and take good care of them, you can continue to read.

This struck Wang Jixuan as quite unbelievable.

When he was cultivating in the sect, all kinds of books were placed in the Scripture Pavilion. It was the foundation of the sect and the basis of the school, and it was not open to ordinary people. Only after Wang Jixuan entered the Nascent Soul Realm and became an elder could he enter the highest level of the Scripture Pavilion to read all kinds of profound immortal books.

Here, however, you don’t need to do that. If a book or other professional book is not available in the library, you can search for it or reserve it on a terminal device, and you can find it in the library the next day.

Even first- or second-level residents who are dishonest or have criminal records can borrow all the books stored in the fortress.

‘Pretty good.’

As they were about to turn past the outer wall of the elevator shaft, Wang Jixuan’s gaze shifted to the green belt beside him, where he saw several benches on the back of the elevator shaft.

There was only one girl sitting there, her figure tall and slender from behind.

Wang Jixuan was about to walk over when he subconsciously stopped in his tracks.

My intuition is throbbing gently.

It wasn’t a premonition of danger, but rather… a sense that a powerful being might be present.

Without any mottled aura, he shouldn’t be a psychic.

Wang Jixuan carefully observed the other party; this was the first time he had experienced a disconnect between his spiritual sense and perception.

He found nothing else unusual; the source of his strange perception was this girl with a high ponytail.

Wang Jixuan took out his hands from his pockets and let them hang down naturally. Several talismans and two bone-piercing nails were already in his sleeves. He slowly moved forward and soon saw the girl’s profile.

Even though Master Wang had been immersed in the beauty of his senior and junior sisters for many years, he still felt a slight sense of surprise at this moment.

As they got closer, her full appearance was revealed to Wang Jixuan.

The girl with the ponytail had a very pure and upright aura;

She should be in her early twenties now, her charm just beginning to blossom. At this moment, she is without makeup but her skin is smooth and delicate. She has peach blossom eyes, thin willow eyebrows, and a slightly high nose bridge that doesn’t look out of place. Her slightly pursed lips outline a shallow curve as she is intently looking at a thin notebook.

Her delicate features and slender swan neck complement each other perfectly. The greatest effort the Creator put into her was to use these beautiful elements to create her extraordinary temperament, without any hint of gaudiness.

A loose-fitting, light yellow, semi-sheer sports top paired with black skinny jeans revealed her near-perfect body proportions, with her two slender, long legs naturally crossed at that moment.

She is indeed a beautiful woman.

But the element that truly touched Master Wang’s heart at this moment was…

A pair of silver-white mechanical arms were slowly turning the pages of the book.

The robotic arm had a smooth outer shell with many tiny, invisible gaps, and its base seemed to extend to her chest.

Wang Jixuan couldn’t help but admire it from the bottom of his heart.

Despite physical disability, his will is strong!

Even when faced with unexpected life events and physical pain, they can still face them calmly and confidently show their physical defects.

This cultivation of the Daoist mind alone is enough for him to learn more.

Wang Jixuan was now certain that the pulsation of his spiritual sense was caused by the girl’s mechanical arm. It resembled some kind of magical artifact, and it was the first time Wang Jixuan had come into close contact with such a sophisticated machine.

He made a decision in secret.

When you politely decline her offer later, do not look at her robotic arm. Instead, look directly into her eyes, offer her some encouragement, and show the kindness of a stranger.

Moving forward, Wang Jixuan walked to the bench where the girl with the ponytail was, displaying the composure of a cultivator and the confidence of a security team leader, and extended his right hand:

“Hello, I am Mu Liang.”

The girl was clearly taken aback for a moment, then looked up at Wang Jixuan. She immediately stopped smiling, stood up, and shook hands lightly with Wang Jixuan.

The robotic arm operates very smoothly, without any lag.

Wang Jixuan felt that the inside of the robotic arm was very soft, almost indistinguishable from normal human skin.

“Lingtong.”

She gave her name.

Ling Tong?

Is it Wen Tongtong’s nickname or pet name?

The fact that someone would use the word’spirit’ made Master Wang feel slightly relieved.

The two shook hands briefly and then let go. Wang Jixuan asked casually, “May I sit next to you?”

“Please have a seat, this is a public area.”

The girl with the ponytail sat down with Wang Jixuan, seemingly without any nervousness.

She closed the romance novel, then stared blankly ahead, as if savoring something.

Wang Jixuan took the initiative to ask, “Do you understand my situation?”

The girl nodded gently: “Yes, I’ve seen the file, it’s about exorcising demons and protecting the righteous, and the Black Storm.”

“Uh, they even told you about this?”

Master Wang was a little taken aback and turned to look at this ‘Miss Wen’.

Ling Tong’s ponytail swayed gently, she tilted her head slightly, and asked softly, “Can’t I know this?”

“This,” Wang Jixuan raised his hand to his forehead, “I wanted to live a quiet life for a while, but now you know everything.”

Looking at his expression, Ling Tong couldn’t help but smile on her delicate face.

“Don’t worry, Captain Zhou has already instructed me not to say anything.”

“I just didn’t expect that your speech wasn’t as…profound and a little old-fashioned as Captain Zhou described, and that you weren’t so difficult to get along with.”

Wang Jixuan chuckled.

He didn’t know why, but he had become slightly more talkative today.

Yes, a sense of security.

He felt a strange sense of ease when he was around this girl, as if he were very safe.

Was it because of her robotic arm? It was indeed quite sophisticated and novel to him.

“I used to be a bit difficult to get along with. I hadn’t considered how to face this cruel world back then. Now I think… everyone is very interesting. The knowledge contained in books is vast, and there are many ideas that I had never thought of before.”

“I still have so much to learn… Don’t talk about me anymore, let’s talk about you instead?”

“Me?” Ling Tong was somewhat confused.

Wang Jixuan laughed and said, “That’s right. I read in a book that you should try to keep the conversation focused on the other person and not always talk about yourself.”

“Is it the book ‘Fortress Men and Women’? I’ve read it too.”

Ling Tong looked ahead, sighed softly, and looked down at her palm.

The robotic arm has a unique aesthetic appeal.

Wang Jixuan quickly changed the subject: “Do you like music?”

“I hear about it occasionally,” Ling Tong said with a gentle smile, her eyes shining. “You’re very good at taking care of other people’s feelings, which is completely different from what Captain Zhou described.”

The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!

Wang Jixuan felt he should encourage this disabled woman.

He simply didn’t want to do these things before; he was an old cultivator over a hundred years old, it wasn’t like he couldn’t do them.

Wang Jixuan spoke in a calm and slightly low tone:

“It really depends on who you’re with.”

“Like Dr. Wei Na, she gives me the feeling of a ball of fire. If I don’t stay away, I’ll be burned to ashes by her.”

“Captain Zhou is like a landscape painting. Just when I think I have seen the whole picture of him, he will reveal a little bit of the unique scenery hidden in the ink and wash of the landscape, such as his charming personality or his background.”

Ling Tong tilted her head and asked, “What about me?”

Wang Jixuan’s gaze fell upon a flower in the green belt.

He immediately came up with a wonderful description: “a flower.”

“flower?”

Ling Tong whispered:

“Flowers look very delicate, and they exist so that they can bear fruit.”

Wang Jixuan shook his head, mimicking Zhou Zhengde’s encouraging voice, and said gently:

“Using flowers as a metaphor for women is not only because the blooming and withering of flowers is for the propagation of plants themselves, but also because when flowers are in full bloom, they add a rare touch of color to the world.”

“A gentle gaze in her eyes, amidst the blooming flowers.”

“I feel happy when I see flowers, and I feel the same way when I see you, so I came up with this metaphor. On behalf of a few members of our patrol team whom I know, I thank you for your beauty that adds a touch of color to the dark fortress.”

Ling Tong was a little stunned.

She gazed silently at Wang Jixuan, slightly parted her lips, and whispered, “If I weren’t…”

“Um?”

“It’s nothing, chatting with you is very interesting,” Ling Tong said casually, pursing her lips and gently moistening them with the tip of her tongue.

Wang Jixuan sighed inwardly.

Hopefully, his encouragement will cheer her up and give her a few seconds to escape the pain of losing both hands.

Sudden.

Wang Jixuan glanced discreetly at a corner to one side.

At an entrance leading to Central Park, a mottled aura entered Wang Jixuan’s perception range.

Psionicist.

A powerful psionicist.

This was a level stronger than the psionicists he had previously encountered who had accompanied the Minister of Biology to put pressure on Zhou Zhengde!

There was no murderous aura, so it seemed he had never killed anyone?

But a powerful psionicist appeared here and walked straight towards us.

‘The pistol is useless.’

Wang Jixuan silently stood up, a bone-piercing nail appearing in his palm.

Facing a psychic who was even stronger than Wen Qian, he had little chance of winning in a head-on confrontation, but he was not prepared to sit idly by and wait for his death.

The other party suddenly rushed forward in the corridor, and that mottled aura began to become extremely active.

It’s here!

A masked, hooded man rushed out of the passage.

Wang Jixuan was about to make a move, but the guy seemed to have anticipated this. He stretched out his left arm, and a glowing plasma shield appeared above and below his arm. He grabbed an exaggeratedly caliber revolver “pistol” with his right hand and was about to pull the trigger at Wang Jixuan…

The opponent’s speed was even slightly faster than Wang Jixuan’s full-speed dash!

Wang Jixuan realized something was wrong and immediately tried to push the woman next to him away to avoid her.

Buzz, whoosh—

What the heck?

Before Wang Jixuan could make any move, a powerful gust of air rushed towards him from the side.

Ling Tong, who was next to him, suddenly lunged forward, and a powerful airflow appeared at the elbow of the mechanical arm!

After two quick strides, she was moving so fast that she left a blur!

Bang!

The revolver ‘pistol’ shot out a ‘fishing net’ crackling with electric arcs, but as soon as the net was unfurled, it was sliced ​​through like tofu by a mechanical arm with sharp blades emerging from its back and forearm!

Ling Tong’s figure spun like a dance, and her left mechanical arm punched the front of the plasma shield. The masked man behind the shield was knocked backward and the plasma shield instantly became ineffective, leaving the man wide open!

A strong, long leg slashed down, pinning the masked man to the ground with his chest under its weight. Ling Tong stretched out her right arm, fingers spread, aiming at the masked man’s head.

Click, click click click.

Orange-red spots of light appeared in her palms, and her forearms expanded outwards twice, revealing a powerful magnetic field and energy flows constrained by the magnetic field.

Destruction laser cannon level one preparation.

“Ling Tong! It’s me! It’s me! Cough cough!”

The man being trampled on the ground yelled at the top of his lungs, ripped off his mask, revealing the face of a thin, small middle-aged man.

“Don’t get agitated! Turn that thing off!”

“I was just joking with this young man! Why are you reacting so strongly!”

“oh.”

Ling Tong shook his right hand, deactivating the destructive laser cannon mode, and the mechanical arm returned to its normal slender shape.

She turned to look at Wang Jixuan, smiled slightly, and nodded gently.

“He’s one of us, probably.”
