Chapter 229: Exquisite Martial Skill (2 Updates)
Soon, Zhou Lang and Zhao Xiaorou entered the five-story Villa and inspected the rooms floor by floor.
"The renovation of this Villa is truly impressive and has a lot of style. The interior design and the landscaping alone must have cost ten million."
Zhao Xiaorou said while looking around. As the daughter of Governor Zhao Cang, she was naturally well-traveled and knowledgeable, but she was still very satisfied with the interior of this Villa because every aspect had been meticulously crafted.
"Indeed, the original owner of the Villa was a fastidious person, so he spent a lot of money. If it weren't for the feng shui issue that made him have nightmares every night, he wouldn't have sold this Villa even for twenty million."
Zhou Lang added.
"You bought it for ten million, you really made a huge profit." Zhao Xiaorou said, "If this Villa were resold, you could immediately make over ten million."
"As long as you are satisfied." Zhou Lang said.
"Then which room have you arranged for me to stay in?" Zhao Xiaorou asked.
"I've let Poison Venerable stay on the second floor, and I'm staying on the fourth floor. You can choose whichever room you like." Zhou Lang said with a smile.
"Then I want to stay next to you." A sweet smile appeared on Zhao Xiaorou's face.
"Of course, no problem." Zhou Lang said.
"Is Ivanova going to stay next to you too?"
Zhao Xiaorou looked at Zhou Lang and said, "The bedding in the Villa was prepared long ago. Was it because Ivanova and the other women came here before I arrived? If I hadn't come to Feiyun City, I guess you wouldn't have even told me you bought a Villa."
"Xiaorou, what are you saying? The Villa was bought today, and the paperwork was only finished in the afternoon. You are naturally the first one to come in." Zhou Lang knew Zhao Xiaorou was jealous of Ivanova again, so he quickly explained.
"Hmph, I am far away in the provincial capital, while you and Ivanova are together every day. I bet you two are stuck to each other." Zhao Xiaorou said, full of jealousy.
"Alright, stop being jealous. Have you eaten? Why don't we go out and get something to eat?" Zhou Lang changed the subject.
"I've already eaten." Zhao Xiaorou said, "I drove here from the provincial capital, so I'm a bit tired. Why don't we rest early?"
"Okay, then you can sleep next door to me." Seeing that Zhao Xiaorou stopped pestering him about Ivanova, Zhou Lang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He felt that Zhao Xiaorou was relatively sensible; although she occasionally got a little jealous, it was just minor fussing and wouldn't cause a scene, not enough to make him feel repulsed.
"You're still letting me sleep next door to you tonight?" A faint blush appeared on Zhao Xiaorou's face.
"Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Of course, you'll sleep in my room tonight." Zhou Lang smiled, "How about we drive out and buy you a few sets of clothes to change into?"
"It seems you are much richer than me now." Zhao Xiaorou said, "I brought clothes this time, so I don't want to go out tonight. But don't worry, I'll definitely 'slaughter the rich' another day."
"No problem at all." Zhou Lang smiled, "Are the suitcases with your clothes still in the car? I'll ask Poison Venerable to bring them up for you."
"Poison Venerable is a Martial Arts Grandmaster, after all. Are you really going to treat him like a servant, ordering him around? Isn't that a bit bad?"
Zhao Xiaorou said. She felt that compared to Old Zhao, Poison Venerable's treatment was really too poor. They were both Martial Arts Grandmasters; Old Zhao was the great killer guarding the Zhao family and was respected by everyone, but here with Zhou Lang, Poison Venerable was just a handyman with no status at all. She guessed that Poison Venerable could be considered the most tragic Martial Arts Grandmaster in the world.
"A Martial Arts Grandmaster isn't that impressive. Poison Venerable's Cultivation is still too weak." Zhou Lang said, then took out his phone and called Poison Venerable.
Soon, Poison Venerable came up carrying Zhao Xiaorou's two large suitcases.
"Poison Venerable, let me introduce you. This is my girlfriend, Zhao Xiaorou. From now on, her words are my words." Zhou Lang took the suitcases, carried them into the room Zhao Xiaorou had chosen, and then introduced him.
"Greetings, Ms. Zhao. If Ms. Zhao needs anything in the future, just let me know." Poison Venerable bowed slightly. In his heart, Zhou Lang was a god-like existence, so he naturally respected Zhou Lang's woman very much.
"Poison Venerable, don't be so polite. Brother Lang asked you to help me carry things, and I feel embarrassed. After all, you are a Martial Arts Grandmaster." Zhao Xiaorou said.
"Ms. Zhao, I used to think I was a capable person and was very arrogant and conceited. But ever since I met Mr. Zhou, I realized I was a frog in a well. Being able to do small things for Mr. Zhou and Ms. Zhao is my blessing."
Poison Venerable said respectfully.
"Poison Venerable, don't say it like that. As long as you genuinely repent and work for me sincerely, you will gradually become stronger in the future."
Zhou Lang smiled slightly. If Poison Venerable no longer harbored evil thoughts, he could naturally guide him in the future and let his Cultivation advance further.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou."
Poison Venerable was a smart man; Zhou Lang only hinted at it, and he understood immediately.
"Then you go rest too." Zhou Lang said.
Soon Poison Venerable turned and went downstairs, while Zhou Lang and Zhao Xiaorou entered the room to bathe and rest.
Two hours later, after Zhou Lang and Zhao Xiaorou finished their intimacy, they lay on the comfortable high-end Simmons mattress chatting.
"Brother Lang, why did you think of buying such a big Villa?" Zhao Xiaorou said, her face still flushed, panting slightly.
"I knew you would definitely come to see me. Plus, with Ivanova and Li Mengxue, as well as my cousin Xiao Xi, the house we rented at the Violet Apartment is indeed not big enough."
Zhou Lang said.
"Li Mengxue? Wow, how long has it been, and you've already hooked up with that woman Li Mengxue? Are they all going to move into the Villa?"
Zhao Xiaorou's expression changed. Zhou Lang's affair with Ivanova was already a fact, and she couldn't help that, but she still wouldn't allow other women to fight with her for Zhou Lang.
"Cough, cough… They are indeed moving in… But you can't put it that way, because my relationship with Li Mengxue isn't exactly 'hooking up'…"
Zhou Lang explained the process of how he and Li Mengxue established their relationship.
"Even a traditional woman like Li Mengxue is willing to follow you without a title. It seems your charm is really not small. It won't do if I don't stay by your side."
After listening to Zhou Lang's explanation, Zhao Xiaorou said angrily, "This time, I'm going to stay in Feiyun City for a relatively long time. I will keep a close eye on you. You already have three women now, and I must stop you from hooking up with more."
"I wish I could stay with you every day." Zhou Lang felt a bit helpless, but he said with a smile.
"I like hearing that." Zhao Xiaorou wasn't as angry anymore.
The next day was Monday.
Zhou Lang got up very early. Before it was fully bright, he was practicing boxing in the Villa. Although he was a Cultivator, he still paid great attention to the tempering of his Martial Skill, because he knew that with the same Cultivation level, a Cultivator with powerful Martial Skill could easily defeat a Cultivator of the same level.
Zhao Xiaorou hadn't woken up yet because she slept quite late last night.
Poison Venerable also got up very early. Just a few minutes after Zhou Lang started practicing, Poison Venerable walked over.
But as soon as he saw Zhou Lang practicing, Poison Venerable turned and left immediately.
People who practice martial arts often mention a saying: "The technique should not be passed to six ears." A person like Zhou Lang must be practicing earth-shattering ultimate moves, and he certainly wouldn't want others to see them. Poison Venerable understood this rule, so he left immediately.
"Poison Venerable, why are you turning around and leaving? Come over." Zhou Lang naturally noticed this, and just as Poison Venerable was about to leave, he called him over.
"Mr. Zhou, I didn't know you were practicing martial arts earlier, so I walked over directly. I'm sorry." Poison Venerable said nervously.
"It doesn't matter. Come, let's spar with some Fist Technique." Zhou Lang smiled.
"Mr. Zhou, how dare I spar with you in Fist Technique? You are a Cultivator, and I am a Martial Artist. We are completely from two different worlds." Poison Venerable said. He was a man who knew his own limitations and knew that the gap between a Martial Artist and a practitioner of Cultivation was just too vast.
"Of course, I won't use my full strength. I will only use the same level of force as you to spar. We are purely exchanging moves; this might be of some benefit to you."
Zhou Lang said.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou."
Hearing Zhou Lang say this, Poison Venerable was secretly happy and immediately walked over to Zhou Lang's side, because he knew that Zhou Lang's Cultivation was far above his. As long as Zhou Lang gave him some pointers, his martial arts would definitely improve greatly.
"Attack." Zhou Lang stood very casually on the Villa's lawn, seemingly without any defense, but he gave people a feeling of being as stable as a mountain and impregnable.
Poison Venerable knew that with his meager skills, he couldn't hurt Zhou Lang at all, so he didn't stand on ceremony. He took half a step forward and flew into the air. While in the air, his hands slapped rapidly, and in an instant, palm shadows were everywhere, reaching in front of Zhou Lang.
Zhou Lang stepped slightly, his right hand pushed out in an arc, and he accurately blocked Poison Venerable's palms.
Zhou Lang only used a little True Qi, but under the neutralization of his arc-shaped force, Poison Venerable's fierce offensive was instantly neutralized.
"What kind of strange Martial Skill is this?"
Poison Venerable was secretly shocked. Zhou Lang only used the same level of force to spar with him, but his attacks were completely guided and neutralized, having no effect at all, yet the moves Zhou Lang used looked extremely simple.
Poison Venerable was quite capable. As soon as he landed, he immediately changed his palms to Fists, shifted his stance, and launched a fierce attack on Zhou Lang.
For a moment, Fist shadows were like a mountain, completely enveloping Zhou Lang.
But Zhou Lang remained calm and unhurried. One hand, carrying a strange but seemingly compliant arc with the Heavenly Dao, blocked Poison Venerable's Fist.
The violent force on Poison Venerable's Fist instantly disappeared like a mud ox entering the sea.
Next, Poison Venerable launched an even more violent attack, but Zhou Lang's defense remained as calm and composed as ever. With a simple set of Long Fist, he easily neutralized all of Poison Venerable's attacks.
"You've seen the defense, now it's time for me to show you a counterattack."
When Poison Venerable attacked again and had all his force unloaded by Zhou Lang, Zhou Lang rotated his body slightly, exerted force suddenly, and directly knocked Poison Venerable away.
Using the same level of force, Zhou Lang easily defeated Poison Venerable. His attainments in Martial Skill were naturally far higher than Poison Venerable's.
"Mr. Zhou, your Fist Technique is indeed powerful. This kind of Fist Technique seems familiar, but it also doesn't seem so." After being shaken far away and falling onto the lawn, Poison Venerable stood up and said. He was already immensely impressed by Zhou Lang's Martial Skill.
