Chapter 225: Eat Vitamins To Lift An Elephant!

The office suddenly became quiet.

"...."

Leng Shuang froze.

For the first time since Qian Lian entered the room, her expression genuinely became speechless.

"You..."

She slowly looked at her friend.

"...delayed an entire flight?"

Qian Lian blinked. "What else was I supposed to do?"

"I had already arrived at the airport."

"It would’ve been wasteful to buy another ticket."

Leng Shuang: "..."

Qian Lian leaned back against the sofa lazily again.

"Anyway, after overcoming countless hardships and dangers..."

Her tired eyes slowly sharpened.

"...I’m finally here."

The lazy salted-fish aura around her gradually disappeared.

In its place appeared a dangerous coldness.

"So don’t you dare tell me everything you said was fake."

Her gaze locked onto Leng Shuang.

"Otherwise..."

A faint smile appeared on her pale face.

"I’ll expose all your assassination records to the friends and relatives of your targets."

Leng Shuang rolled her eyes immediately. "Didn’t I already send you the training videos? Aren’t those enough proof?"

"It’s because I believed them that I came." Qian Lian leaned forward instantly.

At this moment, all exhaustion disappeared from her face. Only excitement remained.

Actually, after receiving Leng Shuang’s videos that night, she secretly conducted her own investigations too.

And the deeper she dug, the more mysteries were unearthed.

Strange disappearances. Rumors. Unexplainable incidents. Monstrous people who shouldn’t exist.

At first, she thought it was merely internet nonsense.

But eventually, even she had to admit something.

There truly existed extraordinary forces hidden beneath the surface of this world.

And for the first time in years, Qian Lian genuinely felt interested in reality itself.

Meanwhile, Leng Shuang silently watched her increasingly excited expression and sighed inwardly.

Another fellow successfully dragged into this attractive strange world.

Qian Lian suddenly pushed aside her milkshake and stood up excitedly.

"So..." Her eyes sparkled brightly.

"When can I meet this amazing master of yours?"

"I seriously can’t wait anymore."

"I want to become his disciple immediately."

Upon hearing Qian Lian’s excited declaration, Leng Shuang suddenly froze.

Then, a rare trace of embarrassment appeared on her usually cold face.

"Actually... Lian..."

The moment she hesitated, Qian Lian’s eyes narrowed suspiciously.

"What?"

"Is there a problem?"

Leng Shuang subconsciously looked away.

For perhaps the first time in a long while, she genuinely did not know how to explain something properly.

"I..." She coughed lightly. "I actually haven’t discussed this matter with Master yet."

Qian Lian blinked.

Leng Shuang continued awkwardly:

"So I don’t know whether he would be willing to accept you as a disciple..."

The office suddenly became quiet.

Qian Lian slowly lowered her milkshake. She stared at Leng Shuang blankly.

"...What?"

Leng Shuang instantly felt danger.

Unfortunately, before she could continue explaining, Qian Lian suddenly grabbed her own hair dramatically.

"No! This can’t be!"

She immediately stood up from the sofa.

"Are you telling me... After everything I suffered to get here..."

"All those sleepless nights..."

"All those dreams..."

Her voice became increasingly emotional as she pointed toward the office window dramatically.

"I already imagined myself carrying a sword!"

"Flying across mountains! Passing through clouds!"

"Walking into ancient sects while mysterious music plays in the background!"

Leng Shuang: "..."

"And now you’re telling me..." Qian Lian looked at her with disbelief. "You forgot to introduce me to your master?!"

Leng Shuang silently pressed her forehead.

Meanwhile, Qian Lian continued nonstop like a leaking faucet.

"It was fine before I knew the truth, I could still peacefully stay home and order takeout every day!"

Leng Shuang: "..." Takeouts?

"But now?!"

"You revealed the magical side of the world to me!"

"You gave me hope!"

"And now you want to crush it just like that?"

Qian Lian pointed at her accusingly.

"Shuang... How can you be so cruel?"

"We are sisters who went through life and death together! Do I mean nothing to you now?!"

"Now that you’ve found a powerful master, are you planning to abandon me?!"

Leng Shuang’s eyelids twitched repeatedly.

Finally—

"Enough."

She directly raised her hand and covered Qian Lian’s mouth.

"Mmph?!"

Qian Lian widened her eyes immediately. Does she not even have the right to speak now?

Leng Shuang sighed deeply.

"Seriously... I only said I haven’t discussed it with Master yet."

"I never said he rejected you."

Qian Lian, who had been struggling against her hand moments earlier, suddenly stopped moving.

Her eyes immediately became serious.

The expression practically screamed: ’I’m listening. Continue.’

Seeing this, Leng Shuang genuinely felt exhausted.

She removed her palm slowly before continuing:

"Don’t overthink things."

"My master values talent greatly."

"As long as you don’t touch his bottom line..." Leng Shuang paused briefly before adding confidently, "he’ll most likely accept you."

While speaking, she unconsciously remembered Du Wuchen.

Even someone like him had been accepted. (A.N: She completely ignored her own situation.)

Compared to that guy, Qian Lian honestly looked much safer.

Qian Lian immediately grabbed Leng Shuang’s shoulders.

"Really?" Her eyes sparkled intensely.

"100% true." Leng Shuang nodded seriously.

"And based on what I know about your abilities..." She pushed her glasses slightly, "Master would definitely be interested."

The moment she finished speaking, Qian Lian’s serious expression instantly disappeared. Then she smiled brightly while sitting back down.

"...It seems after all these years..."

"We sisters are destined to stay together for a very long time."

"Yeah, sure."

Leng Shuang rolled her eyes helplessly.

"I just hope your frail shut-in body can survive the training."

"Hah?"

Qian Lian immediately became dissatisfied.

"Don’t underestimate me, Shuang!"

"As long as I believe in myself..."

She clenched her fist dramatically.

"I can even lift an elephant!"

Leng Shuang looked at her thin arms silently.

"On what basis?"

"The vitamins you consume every morning?"

"...."

Qian Lian’s face immediately reddened.

"Don’t act so smug just because you got a head start!"

She pointed toward Leng Shuang angrily.

"Just wait!"

"I’ll learn cultivation and surpass you very soon!"

"By then..." Her lips curled upward slightly. "When I beat you, don’t go crying into your little lover’s arms."

Leng Shuang froze briefly.

Then frowned slightly.

"...What lover?"

"I don’t remember having one."

"Heh."

Qian Lian sneered meaningfully.

"Chu Jing would definitely feel sad hearing those words."

"!!!" Leng Shuang’s expression instantly changed.
