Chapter 16: Co-renting with a Beauty

Chapter 16: Co-renting with a Beauty

"Boss Li, due to personal reasons, it is difficult for me to follow you around all day to protect you. However, if you trust my ability, I can work for you part-time."

Zhou Lang said to Li Mengxue.

"Part-time?" Li Mengxue asked, looking a bit confused.

"That means whenever you need my protection, just call me. Usually, I still have to attend to my own affairs, but I can guarantee your safety."

Zhou Lang explained. Over these past two days, he had already tasted the benefits of having powerful strength, so he wanted to spend time properly Cultivating the Dual Cultivation Manual to further improve his strength. Only then would he be able to take revenge for the humiliation he suffered from Ye Qianqian and Nie Yuanxiong.

"That works too."

Li Mengxue thought about it and said.

Just like that, Zhou Lang became the personal part-time bodyguard for this hot beauty boss.

But he didn't make it public. After going downstairs, he continued working as a waiter until he left at two in the morning.

…

"Brother Lang!"

Just after stepping out of The Bar, Zhou Lang saw Zhao Xiaorou standing at the entrance with a smile.

Zhao Xiaorou had changed into casual clothes. No matter what she wore, she was so pure that she made people's hearts flutter.

"Why are you here? Didn't I tell you to get some rest early? Running around in the middle of the night, be careful not to run into bad guys again!" Zhou Lang walked over and said.

"I couldn't sleep alone, so I came out to find you to play." Zhao Xiaorou smiled. "Brother Lang, with a great expert like you protecting me, what bad guys would I be afraid of?"

"It's the middle of the night, even if we wanted to go shopping, there's nowhere to go." Zhou Lang said.

"How about we go mountain climbing? The moonlight is great tonight, let's go climb Feiyun Peak." Zhao Xiaorou suggested. "I heard it's nice there; you can enjoy the moonlight and watch the sunrise. I haven't been there yet."

"No way, there are hardly any people in Feiyun City who haven't climbed Feiyun Peak." Zhou Lang said in surprise. Feiyun City was named after Feiyun Peak, so how could an active girl like Zhao Xiaorou have never been there?

"I'm not a local." Zhao Xiaorou pouted. "I came from the provincial capital."

"We still have to look for a place to live tomorrow. How about we wait until we find a suitable place to settle down first?" Zhou Lang said. He didn't pry into Zhao Xiaorou's affairs.

"Alright, but tonight you are not allowed to go back to school. You have to go to the hostel to accompany me." Zhao Xiaorou said.

Zhou Lang couldn't refuse her pestering, so he had to agree.

…

At night, the two of them slept in the same bed again.

After Zhao Xiaorou fell asleep, Zhou Lang moved his Divine Thought and entered the ancestral copper coin, which was the "Qiankun Palace".

"Brother Lang."

As soon as he entered, the artifact spirit Xiao Xi appeared in front of Zhou Lang, bowed slightly and said.

"Xiao Xi, you don't need to be so polite to me."

Zhou Lang said quickly. Xiao Xi was still wearing only a towel-like piece of cloth covering the key parts of her body, which made him, who had been heavily stimulated by beauties these past few days, feel somewhat unable to bear it.

Xiao Xi nodded and said, "Brother Lang, it is better to come to the 'Qiankun Palace' to Cultivate in the future. The Spiritual Qi outside is too thin, and progress is slow. In the Qiankun Palace, the old master set up a 'Spirit Gathering Array', and the Spiritual Qi is very abundant."

"I came today because I want to learn some things related to Medical Skills." Zhou Lang said. "It's not very convenient outside; it's quieter here."

His grandfather, Zhou Maolin, had suffered from a strange illness years ago, was tortured for several years, and died without a cure. This incident had a great impact on him, and he was determined to study medicine to help the world. Therefore, after the college entrance examination, he applied for the major of Clinical Medicine.

Now that he knew the power of the martial arts and Cultivation methods in the Dual Cultivation Manual, he believed that as long as he learned the Medical Skills within it, he would definitely become the most powerful doctor of the modern era.

"Brother Lang, you are already in the Qi Refinement Stage and have a foundation. Learning Medical Skills will be twice the result with half the effort, and you can achieve quick success. You can just learn by following the Dual Cultivation Manual; you shouldn't need my guidance." Xiao Xi smiled slightly.

"Alright then, you go Cultivate, I will study it myself." Zhou Lang nodded. Xiao Xi was dressed too revealingly, and if she stayed by his side, he would have a hard time concentrating.

"Okay."

Xiao Xi responded and left.

"If Traditional Chinese Medicine could inherit even one-tenth of the Medical Skills in here, I reckon it wouldn't be overshadowed by Western medicine."

Opening the Dual Cultivation Manual again, Zhou Lang flipped to the section on Medical Skills and found that the Medical Skills within were profound and vast, and he couldn't help but feel moved.

…

That night, Zhou Lang didn't sleep at all, but kept researching and learning Medical Skills until dawn began to break, when he finally came out of the ancestral copper coin.

At this moment, he was not just a Cultivator; his Medical Skills had also reached a considerably high level. He remembered those medical knowledge points at a glance, or even understood them immediately. One night of study and research was better than decades or even a lifetime of research for many people.

In the morning, Zhou Lang and Zhao Xiaorou looked for a place to live near Dianxi University.

Near noon, they took a fancy to a two-bedroom apartment of over sixty square meters in a shared apartment complex. The rent was 1,200 yuan per month, fully furnished with appliances, and natural gas and stoves were all ready, which was very convenient.

Because Zhou Lang didn't have much money, Zhao Xiaorou advanced three months' rent.

In the afternoon, Zhou Lang went to school to get his books, textbooks, clothes, and bedding. He and Zhao Xiaorou had officially started co-renting.

"Xiaorou, I will give you the money next month. I am not working as a waiter now; I am working as a part-time bodyguard for the boss of The Bar." After cleaning up, Zhou Lang said to Zhao Xiaorou.

"For a great expert like you, what is the monthly salary?" Zhao Xiaorou asked.

"Ten thousand." Zhou Lang answered truthfully.

"Brother Lang, this salary is not much compared to your skills." Zhao Xiaorou said.

"I only get called over when the boss has something to do, so it's quite free." Zhou Lang said. "Feiyun City is not a big metropolis, so this salary is considered okay."

"Well, this is already a white-collar salary, which is not bad. It seems that this afternoon and evening, you have time to accompany me shopping and go to Feiyun Peak to enjoy the moonlight." Zhao Xiaorou jumped for joy.

After resting a little, Zhao Xiaorou dragged Zhou Lang out shopping.

Their means of transportation was, of course, Zhou Lang's bicycle. Zhou Lang rode, and Zhao Xiaorou sat on the back; the two were just like a couple.

It must be said that women are naturally interested in shopping. In the hot weather, braving the scorching sun, Zhao Xiaorou shopped for several hours without any loss of interest.

When it was getting dark, the two had dinner at a street stall and rode their bike towards Feiyun Peak.

…

Feiyun Peak is in the suburbs and is the highest peak in Feiyun City, as well as one of the classic tourist attractions of Feiyun City.

When the two arrived at the foot of the mountain, the sun had already set, but the sky was not completely dark because a bright moon had risen from the east, emitting a faint glow.

The moon was bright and the wind was clear, and the heat of the day had dissipated. The two began to head up Feiyun Peak.

There was a mountain road on the mountain. Although it was very steep, Zhou Lang rode the bicycle with Zhao Xiaorou on it as if it were flat ground.

A dozen minutes later, the two arrived at the hillside.

Feiyun Temple was on the hillside. Under the moonlight, Feiyun Temple stood quietly, but strangely, there were four black cars parked on the flat ground in front of Feiyun Temple.

"Wow, these cars are nice. Could it be that even monks drive such good cars? They are really rich." Zhao Xiaorou jumped off the bicycle and said in surprise.

Zhou Lang also felt strange, but suddenly his face changed.

"Hands up!"

Suddenly, four agile people rushed out from the cars and aimed their guns at Zhou Lang and Zhao Xiaorou.
