Chapter 259 A Memorable First Date (3)
Chu Hengkong now really hopes that Fan De can be by his side, so that at least there is someone who can help him express the nonsense that he has in his heart.
What do you mean by "fog you can't get out of without holding hands"? Don't you think that's outrageous? What kind of ghost particle could have such power? Sister Huaisu may be a little slow-witted, but she's not an idiot. It's rare for someone to be fooled by such obvious intentions!
And where did this fog come from? Isn't your secret soul technique the time-speed-up technique? Why is there such a large-scale fog?!
Ji Huaisu observed for a while and clapped his hands, "I see. After upgrading to particle 3, the output has been greatly improved. The Mist Hiding Technique can now be used as a large-scale terrain interference. Well done, Xiaoye~"
And he saw through me the moment I made my move! Who gave you the confidence to help? Was it my suit?
Ji Huaisu leaned on his bicycle and cleared his throat. "Anyway, now we have such a big problem, and to be honest, I'm a little hungry. What should I do, Akong?"
Chu Hengkong's face was as gloomy as water. "Wait a moment, I'll cut the path open."
Ji Huaisu covered her mouth in surprise and turned away: "Why is it like this... You would rather use violence than hold hands with me? Sister Huaisu is so sad... Puhuhuhu..."
Sad as hell! Your shoulders were shaking when you said that! You couldn't hold back your laughter and laughed like a black and white bear robot!
Chu Hengkong tried hard to swallow the opinion that was about to come out of his mouth. He extended his hand to his partner and said as calmly as possible: "Miss Ji, may I honor you with your presence..."
Ji Huaisu leaned on his bicycle with his hands on his hips, a sly grin on his face: "No way, no way? Ah Kong, you can't even solve this little bit of fog? How lame~~~"
Chu Hengkong now really wishes he were a Wudingchen so that he could use the earth escape technique conveniently.
"Miss Ji, you really are the ultimate torturer. You are literally roasting me on the fire." He said in despair.
Ji Huaisu clutched his stomach and laughed wildly. Chu Hengkong began to seriously study the principles of the Earth Escape Technique. Qing Ye observed from a distance for a while and gave his verdict: "I think the situation is very good."
"How did you tell that?" Vander held up the leopard-penetrating tube. "I only saw a poor man being tortured to death by you."
"Look at how harmonious the atmosphere is between the two of them." Qing Ye clenched his fists. "The atmosphere of mutual respect and interaction before is exactly the same as usual. The purpose of a date is to take things a step further, to bring hearts closer. You see Mr. Chu is embarrassed now, which means that the usual sense of distance has been broken and he is feeling uncomfortable. This is the purpose of icebreaking!"
"Ice-breaking operation? Where did you learn this?" Vander widened his eyes.
"My family's affiliated companies often use icebreakers when organizing blind dates, and managers say they're very effective."
"Damn it, this is a toxic team-building exercise designed to poison office workers! Please don't bring the poisonous legacy of Shura Island's dark corporations into a real-life date!"
"Whether it's a corporate slave or livestock, as long as it's effective, it's a good one." Qing Xia waved his hand, "But I think the current development is not consistent with our vision."
"Ah?" Qing Ye took a closer look, "Oh no, someone is cheating!"
Deep in the jungle, Chu Hengkong was trying to dig a hole with his divine slash. Ji Huaisu pulled him up and rubbed out a big water ball with one hand.
"Forget it, forget it. I'll let you go this time. Just watch me." She pushed the water ball out. "Look at my move, the Lighting Wave Ball!"
"Please don't give the moves names."
The water ball spun and flew up, sucking in the surrounding mist like a giant vacuum cleaner. As it sucked in the mist, the light element within the water ball was activated, illuminating a path through the forest. Ji Huaisu mounted his bicycle, rang the bell, and pedaled away: "Ride out now!"
"Can't I take you by flying? Do we have to ride bicycles?"
Chu Hengkong reluctantly rode to catch up. The two of them were moving incredibly fast, reaching the edge of the Mist Hidden Technique in mere seconds. But just then, a dark sword shadow flashed at the edge of the mist. The two cyclists slowed down, finally coming to a complete stop at the edge.
"What? I can't move." Ji Huaisu was shocked. "Could it be that this is... the Time and Space Residual Heart Technique!"
"I will remember this grudge. Just wait for Qingye." Chu Hengkong had no expression on his face.
In the distance, Qingye proudly put away her sword, her scarf fluttering in the wind from the sword.
"The Discipline Knight is indeed good at controlling the elements... but my Wuxiang Nixinliu will not lose!"
"Do you think this is a duel? Don't win, lose to me." Vander said.
"This is the Zanxin technique passed down directly by Mr. Yexing. Don't even think about escaping with your little tricks." Qingye pointed his dagger at the jungle, "You can't leave today unless we hold hands!"
"Is this all you can do with your night-walking skills? I think you've been chopped down too much in the wilderness, you unworthy descendant."
Fander secretly prepared to use hypnosis, thinking that he could at least control these two silly girls and prevent them from really messing things up. But after a closer look, he immediately put down the leopard spyglass with a smile: "Oh, the Guangshi family is embarrassed now. Go to your ancestors in your dreams to make amends tonight~"
"What are you talking about, you eyeballs—how can you?!"
Qingye let out a agonizing wail; her method seemed to have failed. But what was the reason? Could it be that Chu Hengkong had finally lost control and used Divine Slash or Death Wing? No! Following Fander's gaze to the sky, one could see the couple's method of escaping the trap. It was none other than the illuminating wave ball, soaring through the air with the help of the Unfixed Dust.
The sword arc used for the prank failed to reach such a height, this was Guang Shi Qingye's miscalculation!
The laughter of Miss Knight could be heard from far away in the air: "Goodbye, Miss Guangshi·Can't Fly·Qingye~~"
Qingye knelt on the ground powerlessly, picking up a handful of shameful dirt.
“Damn gravity…!”
"You just say things that only those who are lost can understand." Qingxia said.
"I must upgrade to particle 4... I must...!" Qingye was full of fighting spirit.
"Yeah, come on, Xiaoye, leave the rest to me." Qingxia flapped her wings and flew up, "Then let's dance in the air!"
Fander cast a hypnotic spell: "Come down from here, you little idiot."
"Guwa!" Qingxia crashed.
Ji Huaisu turned over in the air and bounced on the water ball like a trampoline.
"Dating is such an interesting thing~"
"Ahaha." Chu Hengkong laughed dryly twice, thinking that this date was probably a failure.

Five minutes later, Huoshui Snake Market.
The manager of the Blue Holiday restaurant once again glanced at his watch. It was one minute to eleven-thirty. Although guests were free to come in early or late, the fact that the waiter at the door hadn't shown up yet made him feel a little anxious.
Blue Holiday is a local upscale restaurant brand based in Qiuqu Paradise, with seven locations across Shendongjie. The newest location, in Huilongcheng, opened just last month. The restaurant has given this new location special attention, developing a menu specifically based on local ingredients and bringing in its long-time staff.
The manager, with years of experience, knew the key to success in the restaurant industry lay in the first three months. Without a solid reputation within those three months, even the best of skills would struggle to gain a foothold. However, if they could establish a strong reputation and ensure quality, they wouldn't have to worry about future growth. Today's guests were likely the most distinguished in the city, and their satisfaction directly impacted the restaurant's future prospects, so he couldn't help but feel nervous.
At this time, the restaurant's reservation system rang. After the manager answered the call and listened for a few words, he quickly instructed the waiters: "Open the dome! Don't panic later!"
The waiters, all rusty-headed, wound themselves up and did as they were told. The semicircular vault at the top of the restaurant opened, and a water bomb the size of a hot air balloon fell into the shadow of the direct sunlight.
Thinking of the arrogant second-generation rich kids on Shura Island, the manager braced himself for a drenching shower of cold water. But just as the water bullet was about to hit the ground, it suddenly shrank, becoming a crystal-clear bead in the girl's hand. Chu Hengkong landed first, leading his partner to a seat at the table.
"At least I made it on time." He looked at the manager. "Sorry to bother you."
"We often receive distinguished guests who fly in, so we're quite experienced in this area." The manager was relieved to see that this time the guest wasn't a demanding young lady. "What would you two like to drink?"
"Two glasses of iced sweet wine. Give him a less sweet brand." Ji Huaisu propped up his chin with his hand. "I guess you came early."
"Of course I'll only bring you to a restaurant I'm satisfied with." Chu Hengkong said, "I've ordered some dishes in advance, and you can take a look at the menu."
"You knew more about delicious food than I did back then, so I trust your taste in food." Ji Huaisu tilted his head, "Serve the dishes according to Mr. Chu's order."
The manager withdrew and poured sweet wine for the two. Ji Huaisu's eyes lit up. Her wine was "Green Tin" from the Marshland. This brand originally produced cheap wine for the pleasure of hard laborers, but after the situation in Huilong City improved, it also began to produce mid- to high-end brands for the courtyard. Chu Hengkong's wine was "Golden Butterfly" from the city-state, a pricey wine that was said to be infallible.
"It's so nice~" She shook the cup, "It feels so classy!"
"You're the city lord's daughter, okay? Even in the Middle Ages, you'd be fine if you were called a princess. You're definitely upper-class." Chu Hengkong laughed. "I've been captain for so long I've forgotten who I am."
"It's just my nature. I can't stand it even if you give me fine clothes and delicious food." Ji Huaisu made a face. "Hey, if it's my father, I mean my biological father, no, my father is also my biological father..."
"Your biological father." Chu Hengkong helped her choose the right words.
"Oh yes, do you think my biological father would have named me Princess So-and-so?"
Chu Hengkong recalled the knights' clothing styles and the names of their moves, and felt that they were indeed quite similar to the European regions on Earth.
"If he's a king, then you might actually be called 'Princess,'" Chu Hengkong said. "If he's a noble, then you might be called 'Duchess.' If you're an ordinary knight, then you'd be called 'Lady' or 'Miss.'"
"That sounds quite interesting." Ji Huaisu slumped down on the table. "What a shame, I haven't found a single trace of my family yet. I thought I'd get some clues in the wilderness, but that bastard Fan Salar never said anything... And I forgot to ask Chongming before I left. Sigh..."
She rolled around on the dining table like a manic golden ball of fur. Chu Hengkong watched with a smile, and suddenly felt that this scene was a little strangely familiar.
"Wait a minute." He stopped, "Stop, maintain this position and don't move."
"?"
Ji Huaisu was slumped over the edge of the table, her chest bulging against the tablecloth, the small pendant gleaming. Chu Hengkong's mind flashed back to a scene he'd "experienced" not long ago: a knight buried under rubble and Miss Ji now overlapping. The same golden hair, the same demeanor, and the exact same pendant pattern.
"Fuck." Chu Hengkong muttered to himself, "I scolded your father before."
"ah???"
