Chapter 108: Chapter 97: Confirmation, Breakthrough!
“Last time, last time you didn’t ask these things, so, so I didn’t speak…”
After detailing all the brutal events that had happened, it was as if Xu Xiu had to relive that type of fear once again. After finishing, she weakly said to Li Ming, her lips tightly shut.
“It’s okay, but now she’s yours, call her husband and let him hear.”
Li Ming, looking at her state, laughed a bit; understanding Xu Xiu’s personality better, he gently and persuasively spoke to her, staring into her eyes.
Xu Xiu was momentarily startled, looking into his eyes, she mumbled: “Husband.”
“That’s a good girl, you are such a good wife. In the past, you didn’t have a strong person to rely on, anything that scared you was bottled up inside.”
“Now you have me as your husband to depend on, remember to talk about everything with me. This pillar of a ‘husband’ not only feeds you but also provides you a solid shelter to rely on.”
Li Ming patted Xu Xiu’s hip gently, speaking softly.
Looking over at Li Ming, Xu Xiu was mesmerized, suddenly she couldn’t help herself and leaned in, mouth open.
Seeing her expression, Li Ming understood that she had once again opened her heart to him. He waited for her to approach until she was no more than five centimeters away, before taking the initiative to lean in for a deep kiss.
Witnessing the scene, Zhang Yuan and Chen Li who lay in front of Li Ming both chuckled. They knew, within their hearts, that the little bird-like sister of theirs had finally completely settled here.
“Ah, Xiuxiu, you can display affection with your husband when you two nap later on. For now, quickly have your husband tell us about the events happening outside.”
Seeing the two of them unable to detach from each other, Zhang Yuan pulled on their clothes, prompting him to speak.
Hearing what Zhang Yuan had to say, Xu Xiu embarrassingly parted her lips, but Li Ming didn’t stop, continuing to kiss her for another while before finally retreating. Xu Xiu, shy, sealed her lips once more, burying her face in Li Ming’s neck.
Soft, warm.
“In short, Chen Zhuang wants me removed, but that’s not the main reason…”
Li Ming, with relief, removed his mouth. He then looked at Chen Li and Zhang Yuan sitting before him, and briefly explained.
After correlating with what Xu Xiu had to say, his convictions regarding the matter solidified slightly.
After finishing his recount, Chen Li and Zhang Yuan had different expressions. They were, however, more hesitant, but luckily, Li Ming’s presence made them feel a bit more settled and hence avoided causing too much panic.
“Alright, you can go get some rest if need be, I’ll go practice a bit longer and then head up.”
Seeing the changes in the women’s expressions, Li Ming knew he’d had a good effect. Seeing that it was almost time, he said lightheartedly.
“Honey, I’ll be waiting for you in bed.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Xiu lifted her head and whispered into Li Ming’s ear before turning around to head up to her own floor.
Zhang Yuan got up and hugged Li Ming, kissing him fiercely before letting him go. Suddenly feeling something and growing wary, she quickly rushed to the restroom.
Chen Li had been indulging in grapefruits with Li Ming before retiring to her room for rest. With the area suddenly quiet, Li Ming didn’t rush to practice his sword; he ponders for a bit before driving to a villa in “Right Three”. When he arrived, they had just finished tidying up and were all lying about horizontally and vertically within the house, starting to relax.
After Liu Li finished washing the dishes, seeing Li Ming’s arrival, she quickly handed him the apron and followed him outside with the water bucket.
Li Ming brought her back to his own villa, but didn’t rush to draw her water and leave.
“You rest here for a while, and take a nap at noon. Once you are done, leave with the bucket.”
Li Ming placed Liu Li in a guest room on the first floor of the villa, leaving her instructions. Afterwards, she saw Li Ming holding a sword, beginning to practice in the lobby on the first floor.
Li Ming noticed Liu Li’s confusion, but that’s okay. Once he finished practicing, she wouldn’t be confused anymore.
“Swish…”
The sword whistle rang out in the living room. Li Ming put all his energy into training with the fencing sword, till he had done a hundred.
Half of his energy depleted rapidly.
But at the same time, he gained ten proficiency points.
Fencing (slight success 61%)
“After the afternoon nap, my physical strength should be restored.”
Li Ming did some silent calculations. If he kept up this pace, he could break through to the next level by tomorrow morning!
With the miraculous healing and strengthening powers of the ‘Secret Scripture,’ his daily efficiencies would massively increase!
The only area of concern would probably be… whether the women could handle it.
Thinking of Chen Zhuang back at the gathering spot, Li Ming smiled, his lips curling slightly.
I’m about to break through, what about you?
“How could there be such a cruel idea? Well, we will find out when we go to his room in the gathering spot tomorrow.”
Li Ming, looking at the exceptionally sturdy sword in his hand, a flash of cold light flickered in his eyes. He then thought about his telekinetic powers with a touch of regret.
Underneath the cover of the night, zombies would become more excited and, combined with the problem of obstructed vision, he wasn’t willing to take the risk of sneaking into the gathering spot.
Otherwise, it would be easy to kill Chen Zhuang with his telekinetic powers.
But then again… what if his telekinetic powers alone couldn’t break through?
So he still has to continue practicing his sword…
After practicing a hundred strokes in the sweltering heat, he was drenched in sweat. After pondering for a while, Li Ming took a shower to wash off the sweat. Stepping out of the bathroom and into the living room, he saw Liu Li who had been drowsy for a while.
“Brother Ming, you’re back.”
Hearing the noise, Liu Li instantly came to her senses. The position of leisurely lying on the sofa changed to sitting, she greeted Li Ming with a smile. As soon as she finished speaking, Li Ming had already reached her side, lifting her legs.
Liu Li was momentarily taken aback, although initially doubtful, she quickly understood and began adjusting her posture.
… …
[Secret Transmission Proficiency+3]
“You must be tired too. Rest here in the afternoon, and we can continue once you’ve woken up and recovered,”
Li Ming, carrying Liu Li out from the bathroom, placed her on the visitor room’s couch and smilingly told her so.
“Alright, Brother Ming, I’ll sleep first.”
Liu Li mumbled something in front of her and abruptly lost control to sleep.
She exhausted herself for these three proficiency points.
“Thankfully she recovers quickly each time, otherwise, wouldn’t this slow down the cultivation progress significantly?”
Looking at Liu Li who fell asleep in the blink of an eye, Li Ming shook his head in emotion and couldn’t help but think that he must let her learn [Secret Transmissions] once she woke up, to enhance her combat powers.
With that thought, Li Ming closed the door and went upstairs to Xu Xiu’s room to see her waiting for him in bed.
“Baby, how’s your recovery?”
Li Ming tenderly embraced her, and while smiling, asked. Xu Xiu blushed: “Not yet, can’t hold…that…”
“Oh, so let your husband have a taste.”
Li Ming laughed, Xu Xiu shyly nodded, and limply lay down on the bed.
“……….”
[Secret Transmission Proficiency +1]
After finishing practicing the upper part, Li Ming held the pliant Xu Xiu and peacefully fell asleep. He knew that if he only practiced the upper parts, he would only earn a bit of proficiency each time he went all out.
But what he sought was this type of recovery ability, so it didn’t matter that much. After contemplating this, he neatly fell asleep.
After a deep sleep, Li Ming woke up feeling refreshed and revitalized.
Looking at the time, it was already three in the afternoon.
He glanced to the side, Xu Xiu was still calmly asleep. Li Ming didn’t disturb her, but quietly left the room.
“Whoosh!”
With all of his mental powers recovered, Li Ming went to the third-floor living room and immediately started his telekinetic exercise, practicing half of his mental power, saving the other half for emergencies, then continued his sword training in the first-floor living room.
“Whistle!”
The sword whistled repeatedly, and in the blink of an eye, he made a hundred strikes.
Thrusting Sword (Small Progress 71%)
“Phew!”
Li Ming let out a long breath, felt the sweat on his body, thought for a moment, but didn’t stop and continued training.
“Swish…”
The long sword thrust in a straight line, the terrifying power broke the air, and the sweat flowed incessantly.
After his final pause, a new comprehension was suddenly born in his heart.
Thrusting Sword (Small Progress 81%)
“Phew, I guess I need a good rest today.”
Li Ming felt like his stamina was almost drained. He took a long breath, sheathed his sword and stopped. He immediately saw the floating proficiency of the thrusting sword and a smile appeared in his eyes.
As long as his stamina recovers, perhaps he can break through to the next level tonight!
Thinking about regaining stamina, Li Ming couldn’t help but step towards the visitor’s room.

“Phew,”
In the visitor’s room, Liu Li had just woken up from a heavy sleep. Her head was a bit blank, then she saw Li Ming’s robust figure before her.
He wanted to…right after she woke up.
Liu Li instinctively spread her legs to accommodate Li Ming as he softly spoke to her: “You’ve worked hard, there’s something I want you to look at when you wake up again.”
What thing?
Liu Li was startled, her instinct told her that it must be something good and she quickly nodded in agreement.
She really was worn out!
……..
[Secret Transmission Proficiency +3]
A line of characters floated before his eyes, Li Ming let a genuinely unable Liu Li rest properly in the visitor’s room while he sat on the side and quietly fell asleep.
In the blink of an eye, two hours had passed. The energy-drained Li Ming woke up from his sleep, his eyes immediately sparkling brilliantly.
His stamina and mental power were fully restored!
He glanced at the side, Liu Li was also awake, but she looked pitifully as if she couldn’t get up.
Taking into account the contributions Liu Li made today, Li Ming carried her to the bathroom, cleaned her up, then let her continue resting. He willingly fetched two buckets of water for her, got a bunch of food, copied a women-oriented version of [Secret Transmission], and handed it to Liu Li.
“Take this and study it well. Once you’ve learned it next time you can use it when you’re with me, it will make you feel much better.”
Li Ming said earnestly to Liu Li, who stared at the paper blankly and nodded, carefully holding it in her hand. Li Ming then carried her into the car, drove her and the food he got for her, including dinner for the working team, and transported it all back to the villa at [Right Three].
Seeing this, Liu Li’s husband quickly assisted by helping Li Ming unload the items and seeing his wife being carried back by Li Ming, he showed a thick expression of surprise on his face once he realized that the two buckets of underground water and a large bag of food were all for them.
