"Come, Qianxia, ​​sit down. I'm going to pass on all my sixty years of internal energy to you."

"Is this the only way?"

"Only by enduring the bitterest of hardships can one rise above others."

"Brother, there's something I've been keeping from you: I'm an egalitarian."

"come over!"

In the courtyard along the river, under the apricot tree, Li Qianxia reluctantly moved a stone bench and sat in front of Li Changzhou.

Yang Qinglan watched the two of them from the other side of the stone table.

"Brother, be gentle, don't drill a hole in me." Li Qianxia was still worried.

“Your brother will only love you.” Li Changzhou raised his right hand.

"Hmph, it really hurts... Ah!!!"

Li Qianxia screamed, her slender upper body convulsing and curling up like a shrimp. Li Changzhou pointed his finger at her back, and the spiraling force of the bull horn penetrated into her body.

The old hen nearby was so frightened that it jumped up and down.

Yang Qinglan smiled and reminded her, "Qianxia, ​​don't just shout for nothing. Take this opportunity to practice your wolf howl and thunder roar."

"You two devils!" Li Qianxia grabbed the spear, the excruciating pain turning into strength that filled her wrist.

The spearhead, like a venomous snake, instantly bit the hen that was lunging forward, and the hen fell silent.

His marksmanship was excellent; he wounded without killing, which was quite impressive.

A trickle of blood flowed down the steel gun into her body, relieving her pain and injuries.

After Li Qianxia licked her lips and drew the spear, Li Changzhou said, "Go, do a handstand with the spear, imagine yourself as a drill, and then recall the feeling you just had."

"Then why don't we practice handstands first?" Li Qianxia pouted.

Despite complaining, he moved his body, his long legs remaining straight, and he floated off the ground before landing on the tip of his spear.

Her clothes slipped down, revealing her firm, snow-white abdomen, which continued to be exposed.

"Don't look!" she quickly grabbed him.

It's okay to accidentally bump into my brother, but not all of them.

Li Changzhou didn't even look at it; his gaze was fixed on the alcohol lamp on the stone table.

When lit, teardrop-shaped flames emerged, then transformed into tiny owls that swooped down into his palm, scattering into a small sea of ​​fire.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle.

Li Changzhou remained silent, his left hand taut and strained.

The skin was burned and curled up, revealing the red flesh inside.

"elder brother--"

"Don't move!" Li Changzhou shouted, beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.

Li Qianxia held her breath in her chest, glanced at Li Changzhou, closed her eyes, and imagined herself as a drill bit, with the steel gun as the drill tip, recalling the finger Li Changzhou had pointed at her back.

Without any techniques, secret manuals, or teachers, they could only practice in this most primitive way.

This is because with the vampire steel gun and "healing", Li Changzhou will not actually harm himself, nor will he let his sister get hurt.

Yang Qinglan looked at the two siblings, sighed, picked up the old hen from the ground, went to the kitchen, plucked its feathers, and started making chicken soup.

The wind rustled through the apricot trees, making the leaves sound like waves crashing on the shore.

Whether it was a misperception or not, Li Changzhou felt that the pain from the burns was less today.

When he enters a state of "concentration," his breathing becomes even, and he is in an extremely calm state, it seems as if the one in pain is someone else.

At lunchtime, neither of the two girls ate chicken; they mainly drank soup.

"My benefits are back." Li Changzhou said, gnawing on a chicken leg.

The meat is cooked until it falls off the bone, white and fluffy like garlic cloves, and it falls off the bone at the slightest touch.

"I don't like eating chicken used in chicken soup," Yang Qinglan explained, sounding like she wasn't lying.

"You're just being presumptuous." Li Qianxia thought so too.

"Ah—" Li Changzhou gasped, gripping his left wrist with his right hand.

"What's wrong?!" Li Qianxia quickly put down her soup bowl. Yang Qinglan also looked over, but didn't eat the food she had just put in her mouth.

(snort!)

"The wound... hurts." Li Changzhou spread out his left hand.

"......"

Li Qianxia continued drinking her soup, while Yang Qinglan put a few grains of rice from her chopsticks into her mouth, her lips as pink and delicate as peach blossoms.

Li Changzhou's left palm wound had not yet healed; it was a patch of red flesh without skin.

But everything has to be compared. Compared to his previous injuries, this was nothing, so much so that neither of them cared.

Li Changzhou hadn't expected his injuries to heal so quickly, and felt slightly miscalculated.

He felt he had made a mistake not because he had deceived them, but because he was afraid of crying wolf and wouldn't be able to fool them next time. That was his biggest mistake.

He decided to change the subject and divert their attention.

“My physique and agility are maxed out. The players I’m competing against will be very strong. Do you still want to join me?” Li Changzhou asked.

“I’ve thought about this too,” Yang Qinglan said.

The two siblings listened attentively.

"My current stats are the lowest, with only 4 points from leveling up. Besides leveling up, you guys have 3 points from 'Physical Enhancement' in Qianxia, ​​6 points in Changzhou, and 2 points from the white card."

"Qinglan, are you going to be alone?" Li Qianxia asked, her voice tinged with reluctance. "It will be much safer for you to be alone."

"No." Yang Qinglan gently shook her head and put down the bowl.

“I believe that the more dangerous the situation, the more we should help each other, treat each other with sincerity, and think in the same direction.” She paused, then added, “That’s what I wanted to say.”

"Mmm!" Li Qianxia nodded happily. "Qinglan, don't worry, I will protect you!"

Regarding this, Yang Qinglan had something to say: "Leaving aside your brother, between you and me, it's basically me protecting you."

"What's wrong with my brother? Why don't you say anything to him? He loses his IQ as soon as he uses his skills. He would have died long ago without us."

"Your logic is flawed," Li Changzhou retorted. "She's talking about you, so why are you talking about me? Shouldn't you retaliate?"
