The car drove on a sparsely populated road.
"Fei Long, you were so cool just now!" Li Xiya looked at Yang Fei Long with adoration and said, "I never expected that not only are you good at making money, but you're also so cool and handsome when fighting!"
"Cough, cough, just so-so." Yang Fei Long smiled humbly. Being flattered by the mixed-race beauty filled him with admiration, it was hard not to feel good.
"I heard our country has many ancient martial arts cultivators? Are you one of those ancient martial arts cultivators?" Li Xiya asked curiously.
"Oh? You know about ancient martial arts cultivators?" Yang Fei Long asked with a smile.
"Mm-hmm." Li Xiya nodded excitedly. "I know a little, like Xu Wu Jing, Zhen Wu Jing, Xuan Wu Jing, and so on. By the way, what realm are you? Seeing how you take down people with one kick, you wouldn't be Tian Wu Jing, would you?"
"Tian Wu Jing? I'm just a small Xu Wu Jing cultivator," Yang Fei Long said with a smile.
"Xu Wu Jing? Hmph, you must be lying to me again. Xu Wu Jing definitely isn't this powerful!" Li Xiya pouted.
"You're not an ancient martial arts cultivator, so telling you more would be useless!" Yang Fei Long said.
"Why don't you teach me martial arts? How about it? Do you think I have the talent for martial arts?" Li Xiya looked at Yang Fei Long eagerly.
"You're too old, you've missed the best period for martial arts training." Yang Fei Long glanced at Li Xiya and shook his head regretfully.
Of course, what he said was not entirely accurate. Ancient martial arts were difficult, and Qi cultivation was even more so. However, superpowers were different. The awakening of superpowers was not as stringent in terms of age requirements. Like Lou Yimo and Li Yufei, they both awakened their powers by cultivating superpower awakening techniques combined with spirit pearls!
If they were to practice ancient martial arts techniques or follow the path of Qi cultivation, it wouldn't be impossible to start, but it would certainly be very, very difficult.
As for him and Li Xiya, they were just colleagues. Even though she had a good impression of him and was pursuing him, he couldn't tell her these relatively secretive matters.
Their relationship hadn't reached that level!
"Is that so?" Li Xiya looked regretful and a little disappointed.
"Martial arts training isn't necessarily a good thing. Most people who don't practice martial arts are honest and law-abiding. But once they start practicing martial arts, they tend to be too eager for a fight, and with all the fighting, they might get killed one day!" Yang Fei Long comforted her.
"Is it that cruel?" Li Xiya looked frightened.
"Yes, so don't envy those who practice martial arts," Yang Fei Long smiled.
"But if one practices martial arts, they can protect themselves in situations like just now, right? After all, if you hadn't shown up in time..." Li Xiya didn't finish her sentence, but the meaning was clear.
"Uh, of course, practicing martial arts appropriately is also good. If you don't pick fights, you can protect yourself from harm at critical moments." Yang Fei Long gave a dry laugh.
Why did this woman have to be so smart?
It was forcing him into an awkward position!
"Are you angry?" Li Xiya asked timidly.
"No." Yang Fei Long said calmly. He wasn't that quick to anger. It was his own carelessness in speaking that had created loopholes in his words. If he were to get angry about that, it would mean he had a small mind.
They chatted all the way.
The car drove to the Le Hai Garden residential complex.
Yang Fei Long's villa was in this complex, and Li Xiya's rented villa was also here.
"Which district and building are you in?" Yang Fei Long asked.
"District D, Building 12," Li Xiya said, then paused and asked, "And you?"
"District C, Building 7!" Yang Fei Long replied.
The entire Le Hai Garden consisted of villas. Districts A and B were for townhouses, while Districts C and D were for detached villas.
Shortly after, the car stopped in front of the villa Li Xiya rented.
"Alright, I have to go back. You should sleep early!" Yang Fei Long said with a smile, preparing to get out of the car.
"Drive the car in, have a cup of water and chat for a while before you go. I'm scared being alone," Li Xiya said softly, looking at Yang Fei Long with hopeful eyes.
"No!" Yang Fei Long's resolve was firm.
"Then drive it in first! I've been drinking and might not be able to park properly!" Li Xiya said again.
As she spoke, she took out an electronic key and pressed it. The main gate slid open.
"Alright!" Yang Fei Long thought for a moment. Since they were at the door, he would drive in and leave immediately, no matter how she invited him to stay.
He was still afraid of making mistakes!
After all, it was a man and a woman alone.
He got out of the car and found that the main gate was locked.
This made Yang Fei Long look at Li Xiya speechlessly. The latter, with a flushed face, looked at Yang Fei Long and said, "Fei Long, can you stay with me tonight? I have plenty of rooms here."
"Still no. My place is only a few hundred meters from here," Yang Fei Long shook his head.
"Please! Stay with me, okay? It's my birthday today, and this is my only birthday wish." Li Xiya's eyes were red as she looked at Yang Fei Long.
Yang Fei Long: "..."
Li Xiya: "..."
Yang Fei Long looked at Li Xiya, and Li Xiya looked back at Yang Fei Long, as if there were sparks in each other's eyes.
Yang Fei Long gritted his teeth, turned away, and dared not meet Li Xiya's eyes filled with endless affection. He shook his head and said, "No, I can't..."
Before he could finish speaking.
Li Xiya hugged him from behind.
"Don't go, okay?" At this moment, an unfathomable smile flashed in Li Xiya's eyes. As her hand, which was touching Yang Fei Long's chest, moved.
But a tremendous force came, prying her hands apart.
"Xiya, please take care of yourself. You are an excellent girl, but precisely because of that, I cannot take that step with you!" Yang Fei Long turned around and looked at Li Xiya seriously. "Because I am not your ideal match. Happy birthday, and have sweet dreams!"
With that, his figure flashed, and in the next moment, he was already on the courtyard wall. Another flash of light, and Yang Fei Long's figure completely disappeared.
Time passed, but it was unknown how long.
Li Xiya's expression became extremely unpleasant.
She waved her hand, and a gust of wind flew out. A large rock not far away in the courtyard rumbled and turned into debris.
"Yang Fei Long!" Li Xiya frowned. "Did this guy sense my identity, or is he truly not interested in me?"
If Yang Fei Long were here and saw Li Xiya destroy a large rock with a wave of her hand and hear her words, he would be greatly shocked.
Because he had not sensed at all that Li Xiya was a cultivator!
And this move was something ordinary people could not do!
After a while.
Two figures appeared in the courtyard.
"Officer Mary!" The two respectfully saluted Li Xiya.
"Yang Fei Long has returned to that villa."
"I know. You can go back. Don't come here unnecessarily!" Li Xiya said sternly. At this moment, she looked cold and beautiful, a stark contrast to the woman who had been trying to seduce Yang Fei Long earlier.
"Yes!" The two subordinates replied respectfully, and in the next moment, their figures disappeared from the spot.
"Yang Fei Long, are you really indifferent to women? But if you are, why have you had so many girlfriends? Or do you just not like my type?" Li Xiya frowned deeply.
