Chapter 539
539 Hot spring (7000 word chapter)
At seven o ‘clock in the evening, the family heads and leaders of the various forces left one after another.
From the time li Xianyu entered the conference room to their departure, no one knew what the big shots who represented half of the official organization were discussing all day. However, when they left, everyone was in high spirits, as if they could not wait to fight to the death with the temple of God immediately.
Daisuke Aoki had wanted to hold a banquet to entertain his allies, but everyone was in a hurry to go back and make arrangements. They said that the celebration party would be held after the OPEI shrine. Daisuke Aoki felt that it made sense and sent the guest off.
Li Xianyu was asked to stay. Daisuke Aoki was too kind to refuse and insisted that he stay for a drink.
After li Xianyu agreed, Daisuke Aoki asked his distant niece to take li Xianyu to his villa. Takagi Reiki was a beautiful girl with a good temperament. She was tall and slim, looking like a first-year university girl. She lacked the charm of a mature woman, but she had the youth and liveliness that they had lost.
With light makeup, her facial features became more and more exquisite and beautiful. Li Xianyu could not see any flaws, but he saw a big flaw in her makeup technique.
Perhaps it was because of her natural beauty, but this girl was not good at makeup.
your nose is already very handsome, so don’t draw. nose shadow. It will make you look like a monster. Also. the nose shadow shouldn’t be too obvious, it should be natural …
your eye shadow is not bad, but the Crimson eye shadow that is suitable for mature women makes you more charming and flirtatious, but it also destroys your youthful and lively temperament …
the foundation is very good. It makes your skin look fair and delicate, just like porcelain skin.
Fortunately, li Xianyu didn’t have obsessive-compulsive disorder. Otherwise, he would have caught her and lectured her, making her immediately change back to the wrong makeup posture.
What’s wrong with girls these days? the chef position was taken by men, and even their makeup was behind men. Sure enough, it was still male perverts who created social value.
Li Xianyu was deeply proud of his talent in makeup. He learned from the great courtesan, protector Bai, and studied hard for half a month. He had the spirit of being the only one to be defeated in the makeup world. At least until now, no one had seen that he had put on makeup.
“Li Jun, this is your room.” Takagi riori opened the door and stood by the door. She crossed her arms and bowed slightly like a Yamato Naoko.
The girl’s face was a little shy and ruddy. Li peiyun had been looking at her all the way, which made her feel shy and proud, but also let her imagination run wild. Is he interested in me? is he attracted to my beauty? Aiya, what if he does something overboard to me? after all, many China men think that japanese girls can be half-rejected and half-accepted at any time … But I didn’t prepare any condoms.
you are the sister of Aoki Yui? ” Li Xianyu asked.
“Younger cousin.” Reiki Aoki replied. Her Chinese was very awkward, not as fluent as Aoki Yui and Aoki Daisuke.
With a sweet smile, she carefully observed li peiyun’s eyes. Well, he was really looking at my face.
This made her self-confidence almost burst out. She was slightly inferior to Aoki Yui in all aspects. Even if she was dissatisfied in her heart and took her seriously, she still had some inferiority in her heart. Now, li peiyun, who was proud and cold, had been staring at her beautiful face for a long time. No one would believe it if she said it. Sure enough, he only liked Aoki Yui because of her face, and he also liked my beauty.
“You just learned Chinese?” Li Xianyu looked around the room and heaved a sigh of relief. The layout of the room was normal, according to the standards of high-end hotels. It was not the Japanese-style room he thought would sleep on the floor.
“I’ve learned it for a while, but I’m not good at it.” Reiki Aoki said.
“How about English?” Li Xianyu asked again.
“My English is alright.” Takagi spoke in a standard Oxford accent.
oh, oh. li Xianyu, who scolded the party at home while protecting the country, waved his hand.”You can go first, I want to rest.”
Takagi riori didn’t react for a moment. She originally thought that something would happen between her and him here. It might not be that kind of thing, but it could be flirtatious and develop a tacit understanding between them.
Once again, she followed the etiquette of Yamato Naoko, crossed her hands over her lower abdomen, and bowed slightly. I won’t disturb Li-Jun any longer.
Reiki Aoki left in disappointment.
On the other side, in a Japanese-style room with suppressed decorations, Daisuke Aoki and several family elders were kneeling and discussing matters. Aoki Yui served them and poured wine for the family master and elders.
This was the privilege of Aoki Yui. When the elders and the family master discussed matters, only Aoki Yui was qualified to serve by the side. Japan’s male chauvinism had long surpassed the neighbors who had too many demand but too little gruel. However, the ordinary girls in the family were not qualified to touch some of the more confidential matters, so Aoki Yui, who was valued by the family, was the best candidate. She was qualified to touch the secrets of the family’s top brass.
An elder sipped his wine and sighed, ” the heavens are filled with outstanding talents and rising stars. The future generations are truly fearsome.
that’s right. I still have lingering fears when I think about that sword strike just now. If I were Kobayashi Jiro, I’m afraid I would have gone limp on the spot.
“After Qin ze, China has another half-step Gokudo path.”
Aoki Yui’s hand trembled, and the wine spilled on the table. Daisuke Aoki glanced at her and did not speak. He could understand the feelings of Aoki Yui. At that time, Aoki Yui represented the Aoki family to go to China to negotiate with li peiyun. The two had a friendly match, and it was barely a 50 – 50 chance. Later, li peiyun gradually left him behind. But in the end, she was still in the top S-Class category. Aoki Yui, who looked sweet and gentle on the outside but was actually proud in her bones, could comfort herself that she was just slightly ahead in the road of cultivation.
However, now that li peiyun was already a half-step Gokudo path, Aoki Yui was stuck at the bottleneck for a long time. The degree of pain was like a mental breakdown from being stuck in online combat.
he might not be a half-step Gokudo master. He didn’t show his true strength, and the sword of Qi has an additional bonus. Among the Masters in the same realm, except for those who are also Gokudo inheritors, who is li peiyun’s opponent? ” Daisuke Aoki’s words were meant for Aoki Yui.
But it was almost there … He added in his heart.
Kobayashi Jiro was considered strong among the top S-Class, but he was crushed by li peiyun’s sword and had no power to fight back. With this strength, many people guessed that he had already reached the half-step Gokudo path.
Aoki Yui calmed down. sword of Qi? ”
Daisuke Aoki nodded slightly.
Aoki Yui frowned and pondered.
Yui, what do you think of li peiyun? ” Daisuke Aoki asked in a casual tone.
“A Dragon among men!” Aoki Yui’s evaluation was pertinent.
Daisuke Aoki nodded slightly.
She thought about it for a while, her eyes moving as she said in a low voice, ” “Yui has something to do, I’ll take my leave first.”
The elders and the family head did not keep her any longer and nodded in agreement.
Li Xianyu sat cross-legged in the room to practice his Qi. In less than an hour, there was a knock on the door. He got up and opened the door. He saw the heavenly dog standing outside the door, saying, ” “The head of the Aoki family invites you to a banquet.”
Li Xianyu glanced at him and thought to himself, ” raise your head, stick out your chest, and suck in your stomach. You look like my Lackey now.
At this point, he no longer cared whether the Tengu escaped or not. In the eyes of the people of the Tengu society, he was li peiyun, not li Xianyu. Even if he escaped and joined the temple of God, his identity would not be exposed.
Great-grandma and the others did not show their true faces, nor did they reveal their true combat power. It was difficult for people with normal brains to associate them with the unparalleled war spirit.
However, the heavenly Hound was content with its position and had no intention of escaping.
Li Xianyu pondered a little and understood. He was very pleased and helpless.
Li Xianyu appreciated the men who were willing to be his lackeys, but he did not encourage the men who followed him with other purposes.
He didn’t like men who were talkative.
The banquet was held in a luxuriously decorated private room, still in the retro Japanese style. The tatami was clean and tidy, and the four corners were decorated with brilliant potted plants. The air was filled with the fragrance of wine, food, and women.
The eight elders of the Aoki family attended, all of whom were powerful figures in the family. In addition to Daisuke Aoki and Li Xianyu, there were only ten men at the dinner. However, in front of each elder was a beautiful woman, and nine of them were beautiful and charming, thin and round. They were the women of the Aoki family, but they were not juniors. They were the wives of the nine elders.
Of course, she would not be the first wife.
Li Xianyu’s seat was empty, and there was no girl to accompany him, which made him a little disappointed. Logically, there should be a beautiful Aoki Yui in his seat.
They sat down, exchanged greetings, drank and ate. Not long after, soothing and melodious music came from outside the door. The style of the music was very classical and very strange. It must be an ancient tune from Japan.
The camphor door opened from the left and right, and Aoki Yui, who was wearing muscled and Crimson, came in. Li Xianyu didn’t know what muscled was, but he was no stranger to her dress. It was one of the Japanese specialties: The witch’s costume.
There was no doubt that a girl from a long-established family was always versatile. She was proficient in zither, chess, painting, calligraphy, poetry, and singing. Aoki Yui danced in the melodious and elegant Ancient Music.
It was not the spicy dance that li Xianyu had seen before, nor was it the ” Elysium ” that he thought she would dance, but a very ancient dance, with a little bit of a sacrifice.
Li Xianyu had no attainments in music, and in terms of dance, he also preferred to wear small tank tops and shorts, twisting his buttocks and spreading his thighs, full of sexual teasing Korean dances. However, it had to be said that the song matched with Aoki Yui’s dance had an unspeakable charm.
She was indeed a girl from a big family. If it were Thunderbolt battle lady, she would have to stick out her butt and shake it, which was considered a dance.
At the end of the song and the end of the dance, Aoki Yui’s eyes slowly moved to li Xianyu with the twisting of her head. She gazed at him affectionately for a moment and smiled.”Li Jun, how was my dance?”
You’re so flirtatious … Li Xianyu said in his heart, but his mouth said indifferently, ” “Not bad.”
Aoki Yui turned around, her skirt flying, and asked again, ” “What about the clothes?”
Why are you wearing pinru’s clothes … Li Xianyu still commented indifferently, ” “It’s alright.”
Aoki Yui retreated. A moment later, she changed into a normal kimono and came in. She accompanied li Xianyu, poured him wine, tea, and mixed the ingredients.
At 10 pm, the banquet ended.
Daisuke Aoki invited li Xianyu to the hot spring again. Li Xianyu was quite tempted, but still refused.
the hot spring in Hakone is world-famous. It’s rare for Li Jun to come to Japan. It would be a pity if he can’t experience it. Daisuke Aoki insisted on inviting him.
As a playful young man, the temptation of soaking in the hot spring was too great. However, li Xianyu’s left arm could not be exposed to the light. The dark, thick, and long left arm of the demonic descendant had already become famous in the world. Countless women’s faces changed when they heard it, and they were terrified when they saw it. It was his representative symbol other than his great-grandma.
“But I don’t have to take off my clothes …” Li Xianyu asked. When he heard that he could take a bath alone behind closed doors, he no longer hesitated.
Hakken was the Aoki family’s base camp, and many resort hotels were the Aoki family’s businesses. Countless tourists came to hakken every year, and they could bring in unimaginable profits just by relying on the geographical advantage.
Daisuke Aoki took li Xianyu to a high-end Hot Spring Hotel that was not open to the public. Li Xianyu occupied a hot spring pool that could see Mount Fuji from afar. The pool was built in a gazebo. The cold wind came slowly, and the hot spring was steaming. In the hot spring pool, he enjoyed the pleasure of Ice and Fire.
Putting aside the various benefits of the hot spring, a simple bath was also very comfortable. The pores all over his body stretched, and his limbs and bones felt lazy. Li Xianyu leaned against the edge of the pool and enjoyed it with his eyes closed.
He only felt that his body and mind were relaxed at this moment, and all his worries were thrown out of the clouds.
Li Xianyu’s ear twitched and he heard light footsteps. It should be a girl.
She opened her eyes and looked towards the sound. Aoki Yui, who was wearing a bathrobe, walked over with a smile. She was holding sake and raw fish slices in her hands, walking at a lady’s pace.
Aoki Yui was close to the edge of the pool, and from the long Bathrobe, a snow-white and exquisite little foot emerged. She was about to explore the hot spring pool when li Xianyu frowned and said, ” “Why are you here?”
“The master asked me to come and accompany you.” Aoki Yui stepped into the hot spring pool, floated the wooden tray on the water, picked up the wooden hairpin on the tray, and wrapped the waterfall-like black hair behind her head.
You’re trying to seduce me, you know … Li Xianyu’s mind was full of comments and obscenities, but he couldn’t say it because of li peiyun’s character setting. He felt uncomfortable.
“I heard from the master that Li Jun has already stepped into the half-step Gokudo path.” Aoki Yui slowly approached and stopped five meters away from li Xianyu. She kept a safe distance and floated the wooden tray between the two of them, so that everyone could drink and eat raw fish.
“Yes.” Li Xianyu’s tone was nonchalant.
“……”Aoki Yui could not hide the shock in her eyes. Having a guess and confirming it with her own ears were two different things. She did not expect him to really step into the half-step Gokudo path. In the generation of the 90s, in addition to baoze’s Big Boss, there was finally another young man who stepped into this realm.
Those who stepped into half-step Gokudo path before the age of 30 had a great possibility of becoming Gokudo path in the future. He had far more potential than those who had only entered this realm in their middle or old age.
All of a sudden, the level of both sides was completely different.
“I’ve been practicing my swordsmanship these days, but I haven’t made any progress. I’m stuck at the top S-Class and can’t see any hope of half-step Gokudo path. Li Jun, please advise me. ” Aoki Yui sighed.
After knowing that li peiyun had achieved half-step Gokudo path, she couldn’t wait to find such an opportunity to be alone and ask for advice. Although the Aoki family was one of the few big demon descendants, there were very few half-step Gokudo Masters in the history of the family.
It was an extremely valuable opportunity to ask for advice from a half-step Gokudo master.
“Haste makes waste.” Li Xianyu said lightly.
I know this, but there’s also the principle of hard work surpassing talent. I want to know what’s wrong with me, ” Aoki Yui said.
Since ancient times, all the bad students wanted to know what went wrong with me and what was the difference between me and the top students.
“How do you usually cultivate?” Li Xianyu asked.
“Practice Qi, practice sword.” Aoki Yui replied.
In theory, after S-Class was half-step Gokudo path. The emergence of the top S-Class was because there was a huge difference in strength among the S-Class ranks. The peak of the S-Class Masters could easily kill ordinary S-Class Masters, so there was the saying of top S-Class.
Then, the distance between S-Class and half-step Gokudo path must be further than that of top S-Class? No, it was not that there were no examples in history of ordinary S-Class directly stepping into half-step Gokudo path.
Therefore, there was no problem with Aoki Yui’s inquiry. She was not biting off more than she could chew. As a top S-Class, she had the initial capital to step into the half-step Gokudo path.
Li Xianyu thought about it and gave his own understanding, ” “I’m too lacking in actual combat experience. Pure sparring can’t be called actual combat. This was something that many of the descendants of the major demon descendant families did not have. Although your talent is outstanding, your potential will be limited if you were born in an overly comfortable environment.”
The family hoped that the talented children could go higher and further, but they were afraid that they would die young, so they tried their best to protect their safety, just like the parents of the second generation of rich officials. On one hand, they hoped that their children would become Dragons and phoenixes among the people, but on the other hand, they felt sorry for them. The children of the big families in the demon descendants ‘community, and even the second generation of the officials and rich in society, could not escape the convention.
Li Xianyu looked at Aoki Yui, who was listening to the class with a small face.
He remembered what great-grandma had told him about the characteristics and magic of a Gokudo master, and he learned and applied it on the spot: “How much do you know about Gokudo Masters?”
Japan had not had a Gokudo master for almost a century. Even if there was, with Aoki Yui’s identity and status, she could not get the teaching of others. She shook her head slightly, indicating that she knew nothing, and blinked her eyes, hoping that he could answer her.
This girl’s charm had been integrated into her every frown and smile. Even if she didn’t deliberately use her special ability, she could still confuse men. This is quite similar to my passive ability. Does it mean that my charm ability has been trained to the extreme? just by standing there expressionlessly, I can make men fall for me. My male body actually limits the use of my charm ability.
Then, li Xianyu fantasized about himself being a woman … Then, he shivered.
“Gokudo Masters claim to have endless physical strength and can maintain a high-intensity battle without the phenomenon of weakness. In terms of destructive power, the best of the half-step Gokudo path could be compared with the Gokudo path, but they could not last long. They could only compete with the Gokudo path for a short time. You’ll understand this if you fully understand the battle in which the church besieged the Pope.”
“But why is it like this?” Aoki Yui tilted her head, and there was a rare girl’s ignorance and coquettishness. Before Gokudo path, the demon descendants ‘ranking was based on combat power. For example, one punch to kill a walking monster and one punch to kill ten walking monsters. The difference in combat power was obvious at a glance.
However, according to li peiyun, it seemed that a half-step Gokudo path could also have the power not inferior to a Gokudo path, and the gap between the two was divided by physical strength.
“Let’s take a knife as an example. A good quality spiritual artifact can withstand the user’s Qi, but an ordinary weapon will collapse after one slash. This was the difference between Gokudo path and half-step Gokudo path. The peak of half-step Gokudo path already had that kind of power, but they were like poor quality weapons. They could not withstand the power and would soon be exhausted. A Gokudo master can use that level of power at will.”
“Then why is it like this?” Aoki Yui tilted her head and repeated the same question.
“Essence, Qi, and spirit, when the three are combined, it is Gokudo path.” Li Xianyu omitted the steps to solve the question and threw out the answer directly.
“Ah?” Aoki Yui didn’t understand.
the essence, Qi, and spirit form a healthy and normal human being. They are placed in the same body, and when they reach a certain balance, the person is normal. If there was an imbalance, all kinds of diseases would appear. In the worst case, he might even die. The essence, energy, and spirit are the foundation of mankind’s existence in this world.”
In this way, Aoki Yui understood. She listened silently, and unconsciously got closer and closer to li Xianyu. He had already broken through the safe distance.
“But in fact, our essence, energy, and spirit are both connected and independent. They were not a single entity. For example, our bodies are sleeping, but our brains are very active and we can dream. Or perhaps, they had stayed up all night playing games and were physically exhausted, but their spirits were high. These details were because the essence, Qi, and spirit in his body were both one and independent. They are in a state of balance, maintaining the balance of a normal person’s life.”
“So, Gokudo path is the perfect fusion of essence, Qi, and spirit?” Aoki Yui understood.
that’s right. Gokudo path is essentially a kind of evolution. They are different from normal humans. Li Xianyu nodded. and half-step Gokudo path is to make the balance of the three close to perfection, but not yet perfect. The top S-Class didn’t have this understanding and understanding at all, but the half-step Gokudo path already knew what to do next and had a direction. Of course, the road is not easy. Some people can’t merge their essence, Qi, and spirit in their entire lives.”
“It must be explained here that the power of a half-step Gokudo master is at most comparable to a Gokudo master, but it does not include the peak of Gokudo master. I don’t know how terrifying the peak of Gokudo path is.”
In fact, he knew that great-grandma, who was in the Gokudo path, had a body at the peak of Gokudo path, and she had sent Buddha head flying with one punch. If she was restored to the peak of Gokudo path, she would definitely be able to beat Buddha head.
Aoki Yui did not speak for a long time, chewing and digesting li Xianyu’s words. After li Xianyu finished three glasses of sake, she asked, ” “Then how did Li Jun manage to do this?”
She was referring to the initial fusion of essence, Qi, and spirit.
“I can’t describe it to you in detail, but I can use the words of Buddhism or Daoism to explain it. It’s very simple. A moment of enlightenment!” Li Xianyu said.
The Gokudo path was not something that could be achieved through hard work. If it was that simple, Gokudo path would have been everywhere in the world. Half a step was as common as a dog. After all, there were too many people who worked hard in the world.
After li Xianyu experienced the pain of losing his father, he read the notebook left by his adoptive father and witnessed the past in a different way. He witnessed how the three sworn brothers met, got to know each other, became sworn brothers, and finally turned against each other. It was as if he had gone through his adoptive father’s most touching years and his biological father’s tragic and sad short life with the notebook.
In an instant, he stepped into the half-step Gokudo path.
A flower like Aoki Yui, who lived in a relatively comfortable environment, could not understand his feelings.
Epiphany … Aoki Yui muttered it twice, and her eyes fell on li Xianyu. Suddenly, she realized that she was too close to him. She quickly covered her chest, moved a distance away against the wall of the pool, and pretended to be nonchalant.”Why is Li Jun still wearing clothes when he’s in the hot spring?”
Li Xianyu took off his coat and pants, and his upper body was covered with long sleeves and gloves, which were tightly wrapped.
He could find a hundred reasons to prevaricate, but those obscenities were not in line with li peiyun’s character, so he simply ignored them. He looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, giving Aoki Yui a cold and hard side profile.
Aoki Yui silently took a few steps back and bowed slightly. “Thank you for your guidance, Li Jun. I’ll take my leave first.”
“I’ve been thinking about a question.” Li Xianyu suddenly said.
Aoki Yui’s footsteps on the hot spring pool stopped. Her right foot was on the shore, and her left foot was still in the pool. She turned her head and looked at him blankly.
I disguised myself as li peiyun with my invincible makeup skills, and I also deliberately adjusted my facial contours and muscles. I was confident that unless I was familiar with his family, I would never be able to see him. But you still saw through me. ” Li Xianyu sighed. hey, Aoki Yui. You don’t really have an affair with him, do you? ”
Aoki Yui’s delicate body was tight, and the right leg on the shore, the calf muscles lines collapsed into a sharp arc. Her heart was beating wildly, but she pretended to be innocent. “Li Jun, what are you saying?”
She clenched her right hand tightly.
Li Xianyu raised his left hand, took off his glove, and revealed his dark palm. He smiled and said, ” “I’m thinking of letting you strip and die. Or would he directly touch his head and kill him with a slap? There are two ways to silence someone, do you want to choose one?”
