"Anything to note?"
"Well, although I have tested it before and confirmed that there is no problem, if there are two people plus a cat, you should keep your bodies as close as possible, and no one should stand within two meters. The cat should be placed in a backpack, and luggage should be placed in a backpack as much as possible."
Ren Suo opened his backpack and nodded to the black cat. The black cat jumped onto the backpack and zipped it up from the inside, leaving just enough space for its little head to show.
He put on his backpack, and Ren Xingmei packed her luggage and came out. The two put on their clothes and shoes and came out. Ren's mother in the living room hesitated for a moment and said, "Send me a message as soon as you go over. I want to try it next time."
In fact, Ren's mother was a little worried, but it was meaningless to say things like "Are you sure it's really safe?" If Ren Suo was not sure it was really safe, he would not have brought his sister with him.
It's not good to stop it. Once it's said out loud, it would seem as if Ren's mother doesn't trust her future daughter-in-law and is afraid that she will murder her husband.
In fact, it’s not that Ren’s mother doesn’t believe in Dong Chengling, she’s just simply uneasy about new technology. Middle-aged people are much slower to accept new technology than young people. For example, she can use Tik Tok and WeChat, and even edit and filter the photos after taking selfies. She is already the most fashionable fashion queen among the aunties in the community.
But her husband had no objection, and her son had no doubts, so she had to suppress her worries and said goodbye to her children as calmly as possible.
Ren Suo nodded and walked to the empty space in the middle of the living room, motioning for his sister to come over: "Cheng Ling said we'd better get closer."
Ren Xingmei blinked, and before she could say anything, Ren Suo pulled her over and glanced at her: "Your bangs are too long, clip them with a hairpin."
"My hairstyle is called a princess cut." Ren Xingmei said unhappily, "I worked so hard to make my hair smooth, and I just want a cohesive look. I can't clip it up."
"Oh." Ren Suo blinked, touched her head, nodded and said: "It is indeed very smooth, and the feel is compared to Luna..."
"Meow~?"
"Luna's feel is still better." Ren Suo finally gave in and praised his sister.
Ren Xingmei pouted and snorted. At this time, Ren Suo suddenly stretched out his hand to hold her waist and hugged her in his arms: "Hold me tight."
Ren's mother and father, who were watching TV and looking at their phones, looked over without blinking.
Then Ren Suo took out his cell phone and called: "Cheng Ling, we are ready."
"good."
Ren Xingmei, who was still confused at this time, had just time to reach out and hug Ren Suo. Before she could awaken the warmth in her memory, she found that the light entering her eyes had changed from the slightly glaring incandescent light to the warm-toned LED light.
“Big brother!”
With a soft cry, a little girl pushed Ren Xingmei away. Ren Xingmei sighed, squatted down and took Xiaojiu away: "Xiaojiu, did you miss me?"
"Yes, I miss Xiao Xingxing." Xiao Jiu struggled in Ren Xingmei's arms, twisting her body, "Xiao Jiu also misses big brother, let me go, I want to hug big brother."
"But I also want to hug you, so I refuse!" It was a rare opportunity to relive the warmth of the past, but before she could enjoy it for a few seconds, it was ruined by this little girl. Ren Xingmei was a little sulky and hugged Xiao Jiu in revenge. However, Xiao Jiu was unexpectedly strong, and she, a second-level cultivator, couldn't suppress him!
You have to know that Ren Xingmei herself is not a weak type. Before she started practicing, Ren Suo couldn't even beat her in arm wrestling! After practicing, her strength is definitely greater than that of an adult male, but she still can't trap Xiao Jiu!
Suddenly, Xiao Jiu softened like a deflated plea, and said nervously: "Big, big brother, who is she?"
Ren Suo took the black cat out of his backpack at this time. Hearing Xiao Jiu's voice, Ren Suo blinked and held the black cat in front of Xiao Jiu: "Meet Xiao Jiu, this is Luna, Luna, this is Xiao Jiu."
"Meow~" The black cat meowed lazily, and Xiaojiu also meowed nervously. He carefully stretched out his finger and touched the black cat's paw.
Seeing that the black cat did not resist her, Xiaojiu's expression instantly changed from nervousness to joy. She broke free from Ren Xingmei's restraints, then picked up the black cat, sat on the sofa and began to mutter. The black cat also meowed from time to time in response. The scene was very childlike, the kind that could get thousands or tens of thousands of likes if posted on Douyin.
"Xingmei, do you feel anything is wrong?" Dong Chengling helped Ren Xingmei take off her schoolbag, pulled her to sit down and asked.
Ren Xingmei quickly shook her head: "I don't feel anything. I suddenly came here from home. Teacher Dong, you are getting better and better."
Ren Suo also sighed and said: "Yeah, I thought the spiritual coordinates could only take one person away, but I didn't expect that Cheng Ling, you can bring your luggage sister and cat with you, and it won't be overloaded!"
Knowing that Ren Suo and Ren Xingmei didn't buy tickets and were planning to come tomorrow, Dong Chengling suggested using space teleportation to bring them to Lianjiang.
Ren Suo's spiritual coordinates were permanent in themselves, and the last time they met, his spiritual coordinates were further enchanted and blessed by Dong Chengling, so even if he brought a few more pieces of luggage, an extra cat, and a sister who weighed no more than 100 pounds, it was more than enough.
Dong Chengling didn't look tired at all. He took out two small bowls of Yuanxiao from the kitchen and said with a smile, "These are the Yuanxiao I brought back from home. You guys have a taste."
Although Ren Suo and Ren Xingmei had eaten before, they were cultivators after all. Not only did their appetite far exceed that of an ordinary glutton, their digestive power was comparable to that of a soy milk juicer. Moreover, there were only three Yuanxiao in each bowl, so for them it was just a "taste".
Yuanxiao actually tastes not much different from glutinous rice balls, after all, they are both made of glutinous rice and fillings. However, glutinous rice balls are a bit more sticky and taste sticky, while Yuanxiao is a bit sweeter and not so sticky.
Ren Suo asked as he ate, "Cheng Ling, did you teleport here directly from home as well?"
Dong Chengling nodded: "Yes, I left the spiritual energy coordinates here. After spending the Lantern Festival at home, I brought Xiaojiu back here to clean up and then called you."
Ren Suo asked, "Why don't you stay at home one more night before coming here?"
"I was worried that you would buy a ticket and take a bus back early tomorrow morning." Dong Chengling smiled and said, "I want to show off to you, spend the Lantern Festival with you, and see you earlier than anyone else, so I came back early and found a reason to bring you here."
Dong Chengling's continuous normal attacks caused critical hits on Ren Suo, and Ren Suo fell into a dizzy state. Ren Xingmei quickly changed the subject: "Is it so convenient? It's not tiring to teleport here with Xiaojiu and the luggage at once?"
"You may have some misunderstandings about space movement," Dong Chengling said, "When space moves, the main body does not mark a certain individual, but tears the space for a short time, and then transfers all the objects contained by the spiritual energy in overlapping space. For example, when I teleport normally, it will not happen that I teleport away, but my clothes and shoes are left behind, because when I teleport, the spiritual energy contains my entire body."
Ren Xingmei drew inferences: "So you just let the spiritual energy of my necklace encompass us all, and then directly tore open the space and 'throw' us all over here?"
Dong Chengling nodded in appreciation: "That's right. Teleporting just one person or all of you, it's the same to me, there's no difference."
After Ren Suo finished eating Yuanxiao, he opened his backpack, took out a small bag with patterns on it, and handed it to Dong Chengling: "Chengling, this is a Valentine's Day gift."
Dong Chengling was stunned for a moment, looked at Ren Xingmei, and smiled: "Thank you. But I thought you would give it to me in private."
"Hmm?" Ren Suo scratched his head: "But there are no outsiders here..."
"So," Dong Chengling thought for a moment and said seriously, "Maybe you and Xingmei can't understand, but my parents have been in love since childhood..."
"No!" Ren Suo and Ren Xingmei said in unison: "We understand!"
"That's good," Dong Chengling said, "Although I didn't feel anything when I was a child, I found out when I grew up that my parents' behavior has a certain negative impact on other people. According to philosophical theory, the essence of a person is the sum of all social relationships, so when acting in a group, it is polite to pay attention to the atmosphere."
"Interactions like this between lovers, when there is a third party present, may cause the other party to feel embarrassed, overwhelmed, envious, jealous and other emotions. Many times, the relationship between lovers and friends becomes distant because they fail to distinguish between private space and public space."
Dong Chengling nodded to Ren Xingmei: "Xingmei, I know you don't think so. I just want to take this opportunity to tell Suo that there is no need to 'show affection' in order to show off yourself."
Ren Xingmei nodded with a smile on her face, but in her heart she was crying and roaring, "No, that's what I think. I am just a pickled fish here, sour, vegetable and redundant..."
Dong Chengling looked at Ren Suo and said, "Suo, I don't need other people's approval to maintain my feelings, and neither do you. Based on this situation, I tend to arrange slightly intimate couple interactions in a private space with only two people. Moreover, compared to being intimate anytime and anywhere, I think that if we suppress our mood a little, brew our emotions, and cultivate our expectations, then you and I can both get a better experience."
Dong Chengling spoke openly and honestly about these somewhat embarrassing things, leaving Ren Suo dumbfounded: "Chengling, you really understand!"
"Well, I've read a lot of books on relationships these days, and educational reference materials also have content on how to deal with students' premature love problems," Dong Chengling said, "If you don't know how, you have to learn."
Dong Chengling's words really didn't feel out of place at all, and even gave Ren Suo and Ren Xingmei an illusion: Yes, dating requires studying, and even requires a certificate or something...
Then Dong Chengling went to the bedroom and took out a notebook, holding it in both hands and handed it to Ren Suo: "This is a gift for you."
A notebook? Does Cheng Ling think I'm someone who can use a diary?
A diary? Does Teacher Dong want to train the brother to write a diary in order to understand his emotional world and conduct targeted blasting?
Ren Suo and Ren Xingmei simultaneously had a simple and a complex thought. However, when Ren Suo opened his notebook, they discovered that things were actually more complicated than they thought.
"These are the thoughts I recorded when I was promoted to the fourth level, as well as some areas where I noticed I could further strengthen my training when I recalled and reflected on them."
Dong Chengling said: "At present, the countermeasure system and the college system do not have a formal guidebook for the fourth-level monks. Many of my experiences may only be suitable for my own situation. You need to think for yourself when reading and studying. Although it is not a valuable item, based on your current situation, I think this Valentine's Day gift is more suitable for you..."
Although she said so, Dong Chengling's face turned slightly red as she spoke. Although she had read so many emotional works and had made great achievements in teaching and educating people, this was her first time to fall in love, and she didn't know if what she was doing was right.
After much thought, she decided to finish writing this book "Dong Chengling's Four Transformations" overnight. It not only contained her heart, but also had great practical value, and also contained her expectations for Ren Suo. The only problem was that this kind of gift did not appear on the "Men's Favorite Gift List" in those emotional works...
"It's like being bored on the street and finding an internet cafe, or feeling sleepy and finding a pillow. Cheng Ling, I like this gift very much."
Ren Suo had never let Dong Chengling down before, and this time was no exception. He held the notebook in his hands as if it were a treasure: "I just needed this kind of information. I was planning to look for it on the intranet when I came back, but I didn't expect that you, Chengling, would just give me such a good gift."
Dong Chengling and Ren Xingmei blinked and asked in unison: "Are you going to be promoted to the fourth level!?"
"Yes! (*^^*)"
For some reason, Ren Suo obviously did not practice at home, and he did not even equip the lazy and diligent body at night. However, he suddenly felt that the cyclone was strange two days ago, and he always had a feeling of dissatisfaction. He sent himself a data stream and found that his practice progress had reached 3 turns 100%!
Ren Suo was puzzled, and then for some reason his thoughts suddenly turned to the quality of his sleep every night.
During these days, he woke up every morning with a tired body as if he had been raped by several Zhao Huos 10,000 times at night. Although he recovered from his tiredness quickly after waking up and felt energetic, Ren Suo always felt weird, and he even took off his clothes in the middle of the night on some days.
He felt that the rapid progress of his cultivation might be related to the quality of his sleep. He wondered if his lazy and diligent body was used too much, causing it to completely become an independent body with its own ideas.
As long as Ren Suo falls asleep, it will be very sensible and get up on its own to practice, so its body becomes so tired.
But due to the lack of substantial evidence, Ren Suo did not delve into it further, and instead focused his attention on the more important thing - his promotion to the fourth level!
Ren Suo knew too well how awesome the fourth transformation was.
The nationally famous Taoist You Jian, the signature figure of Xuan Country, is a fourth-level cultivator!
Dong Chengling, the treasure of the Lianjiang Countermeasures Bureau and Tianlian Academy, who can earn a lot of money by practicing and teaching every day, is a fourth-level cultivator!
The admission criteria for members of the Great Wall is to be a fourth-level cultivator!
The tactical-grade humanoid weapon designated by the intranet is a fourth-turn monk!
All in all, becoming a fourth-level monk would bring only benefits and no harm to Ren Suo's career as a player who just wanted to eat and wait for death!
Moreover, if he wants to achieve the goal of "protecting Dong Chengling", his strength must be at least level four, otherwise he can only shout 666 behind Dong Chengling.
When Ren Suo was reading the experience of the fourth level, Ren Xingmei asked with a depressed look on her face: "Brother, didn't you just get promoted to the third level not long ago? And you were in a coma for a month, how come you are going to get promoted to the fourth level now?"
"I had an adventure in the Dark Side of the Moon." Ren Suo said honestly, "Yue Yan also had an adventure. I think she will reach the third level soon."
Ren Xingmei was slightly startled, gritted her teeth and turned to ask Dong Chengling: "Teacher Dong, are you still going to open the hard training class this semester?"
Dong Chengling blinked, smiled and touched Ren Xingmei's head: "Open, I will apply to the academy to relax the restrictions on the large training ground and allow people in the hard training class to practice."
Ren Xingmei, who was treated kindly by Dong Chengling, felt warm and lost at the same time. She suddenly remembered the slogan shouted by her male classmates: "Teacher Dong is the best in the world."
She had been full of evil intentions these days, preparing to return to Lianjiang to form alliances. She had thought of all the steps to implement such schemes as sowing discord, attacking the state through a false pretext, concealing the truth, and turning the tables.
However, now that Dong Chengling had touched Ren Xingmei's head, all her bad intentions disappeared. It wasn't because she had a change of heart, but simply because she knew she was just a mantis trying to get a taxi.
They are just using an open and upright army of 100,000 to fight against a mob of people who have no legitimate reason. No matter how many conspiracies and tricks they have, they cannot defeat the army of the king.
She is not the chosen one, so will God send a meteorite down to help her win?
In terms of strength now, she will soon be crushed by Gu Yueyan. Except for Lin Xianyu, she can't beat anyone!
She felt like she was not only pickled fish, but also braised chicken, yellow, dull, and rubbish...
"Cheng Ling, one of the conditions for advancing to the fourth level is... a strong belief?" Ren Suo looked at it and suddenly asked, "Does it mean a strong will or something like that?"
Dong Chengling shook his head: "No, it's a strong belief, an idea that you must complete, an ideal that you must realize. Strong will refers to whether you can persist in the face of adversity, and strong belief refers to whether you have the desire to put yourself in adversity."
Ren Xingmei interrupted, “I’m just asking if you have a dream.”
Is it ideal to just eat and wait for death while playing games?
Ren Suo twitched his lips, thinking, in this world, a salted fish without dreams can't even cross the fourth level? Then Lin Xianyu can only stay in the third level for the rest of his life?
Dong Chengling thought for a moment, then looked at Ren Suo and said, "It doesn't have to be a dream, it can just be a certain idea, such as becoming stronger, living forever, not aging, getting something, protecting someone, achieving something unspeakable..."
Ren Suo felt guilty when Dong Chengling looked at him. If I were to advance to the fourth level with the strong belief of "I want it all", and if I fail to achieve it in the future, would my Tao heart collapse and fall to the third level?
Ren Xingmei felt depressed watching them chatting. She looked down at her phone and said, "Brother, it's past twelve o'clock, let's go back to bed!"
Dong Chengling nodded, without trying to persuade him to stay, and said, "Go to bed early, don't trust the contents of my notebook too much, and use your own judgment."
"Well, I will take a good look at it." Ren Suo said seriously, "After I finish reading it, I will keep this gift carefully and won't let anyone else see it."
Dong Chengling was very satisfied with Ren Suo's attitude. Ren Xingmei went over to pick up the backpack, looked at the moonless night sky outside, and sighed softly.
Suddenly, she saw a streak of stars across the night sky, like a shooting star. She subconsciously closed her eyes and made a wish.
When she opened her eyes, the shooting star had disappeared, and Ren Xingmei couldn't help but laugh.
Why do meteors fly so fast?
Because it doesn't want to fulfill my wish.
Why do meteors fly so fast?
Because it is trying to fulfill the wishes of others.
Although she knew that complaining and pinning her hopes on fate were meaningless and weak, Ren Xingmei still couldn't help but secretly complain: I also want an accident, a miracle, ...
After suppressing her negative emotions, Ren Xingmei glanced at the balcony and suddenly found a figure standing on the balcony.
The warm light in the room shone on his jet-black armor, which was as black as ink but as exquisite as a work of art and transparent and shiny. Ren Xingmei could clearly see his sharp combat boots, soft and hard skirt armor, dragon claw-like hand armor, fully protective body armor, cold and arrogant animal mask, and... the pair of bright red eyes under the mask!
