Chapter 70 A Single Man and a Single Woman

Wang Ke had only felt an unexpected prickling pain in his eyes when he first felt that he had the extraordinary vision. Then, he always made the spirit energy slowly flow to his eyes under his control every time he used his extraordinary vision.

However, at that time, he did not control the flow of the spirit energy to his eyes. Therefore, the surging spirit energy was flowing into his eyes spontaneously.

Wang Ke felt as if his eyes had been roasted by the fire, which made him painful. He suddenly had a blackout and almost went off into a dead faint. The blood vessels all over his body were swollen, and his blue veins protruded out. His whole body was suffering a spasm.

In the fingernail-sized space at the center of Wang Ke's eyebrows, the milky white smog turned into two wisps of white smoke, quickly flowing into Wang Ke's eyes.

A cool and refreshing feeling immediately replaced the prickling pain. Wang Ke did not see a colorful world. Instead, when he regained his vision, he suddenly felt that he could see the world so clearly, just like a nearsighted person putting on the glasses. He could see everything clearly, such as the furniture in the room, a tiny screw, and even the grain of the coffee table.

Wang Ke thought, "It's amazing! I feel as if my eyes were rinsed with clear water. How could my vision be at least twice as good as before! What's my eyesight now? 2.0? No, my original eyesight was 2.0. Since now it is twice as good as before..."

Wang Ke got out of the bed and had a look outside the window. Now, he could see the scene outside clearly even at night.

He had a fantastic feeling in his heart, making him feel that his extraordinary vision had advanced. However, he did not know to what degree had it advanced as he had not tried using it again.

Having absorbed the spiritual energy in that magic weapon, he finally made his cultivation reach the third stage, the high level in Dragon's Momentum. Besides, he was happy with the increase of the spiritual power between his eyebrows and the stronger refinement of his body. However, what pleased him most was the advancement of his extraordinary vision. Though he did not know to what degree had it advanced, he knew it was a great thing. He even could not wait to go to the antique trading market to look for magic weapons.

"I'm not sure if I can recognize the middle-level magic weapon by virtue of my advanced extraordinary vision."

Standing by the window, Wang Ke thought that to himself with a flash of delight in his eyes.

Li Ruoxi in the next room opened her eyes slowly within half a minute after Wang Ke got up. At that moment, her bright eyes like gems were sparkling as she could clearly feel the change in her body.

She used to have only a trace of spirit energy flowing in her body. However, having cultivated for much of a night, she found that the spirit energy in her meridians had become at least twice as much as before. Twice! What astonishing quantity!

She started cultivating the techniques of her family when she was young. However, she did not manage to cultivate the spirit energy until three years ago. In the past three years, though she had been occupied with study and work, she had not given up cultivating the spirit energy. She cultivated hard every few days at most.

Thanks to the unusual condition of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the quantity of the spirit energy she had cultivated in the past three years became as twice as before within a short time. How could this not make her delighted?

Then, the delight in her eyes vanished. She was thinking about something. "Is it because of Wang Ke? If it was not him, why were there some unusual conditions in the air?"

Having thought for a moment, she decided to find Wang Ke.

"Bang, bang..."

Hearing that, Wang Ke standing by the window suddenly raised his eyebrows. He thought, "It is about two or three o'clock in the morning. Who knocks at the door at this time? Could that be Li Ruoxi?"

"However, why doesn't she sleep at midnight but comes here to knock at my door?"

He quickly walked to the door and opened it. Seeing Li Ruoxi, slim and graceful, looking at him with wide eyes, Wang Ke smiled and said, "Why don't you sleep?"

Looking through Wang Ke and the c***k of the door, Li Ruoxi found that Wang Ke's quilt on the bed remained neatly folded, showing no trace of his sleeping. Then, she asked, "Haven't you gone to sleep? Were you cultivating just now?"

Wang Ke smiled, "Yes! I felt that I would make a breakthrough yesterday, so I have been cultivating till now. I just finished my cultivation no more than two minutes when you knocked at the door just now."

There was more splendor in Li Ruoxi's eyes. She shouted surprisingly in her heart, "It is indeed him. He said that he had just finished the cultivation no more than two minutes ago. It was at that time that I could not feel the high-concentrated spiritual energy of heaven and earth around anymore. It was because of Wang Ke that the high-concentrated spiritual energy of heaven and earth appeared."

"May I come in and take a seat?" Li Ruoxi suddenly asked him.

Wang Ke stood still for a moment and then gave a bitter smile. Then, he shrugged and said, "If you are not afraid that a single man and a single woman will be like dry firewood and intense fire, filled with burning passions, then just come in! My room is a little messy. Please ignore it."

A single man and a single woman?

Dry firewood and intense fire?

Li Ruoxi glared at Wang Ke, abusing him inwardly, "Is this guy dreaming?"

Following Wang Ke into his room, Li Ruoxi was shocked by what she saw. She suddenly felt quite self-abased because of the modest words Wang Ke had said about his room.

Li Ruoxi saw that all the things were neatly placed, and the floor and the table were almost spotless. She thought, "Is this a messy room? If it is, then my room is a pigsty."

"Is he truly a man? How could a man's room be so clean and neat?" Li Ruoxi thought to herself indignantly.

The next morning, having finished the learning with Zhao Menfeng and had lunch at home, Wang Ke spent the whole afternoon strolling around the antique trading market. He wanted to look for magic weapons, testing how his extraordinary vision had advanced.

However, unfortunately, he went to more than ten stalls in the market all afternoon but failed to find any magic weapon through energy-observing.

Being irritated, Wang Ke could only go back home reluctantly. At that time, it was less than half an hour before he and Li Ruoxi's appointed dinner time.

Since there were a large number of businessmen in the antique trading market and many of them ran brisk businesses, the antique market had recently expanded two more streets towards the southwest. Besides, the architecture on that two streets was a little different from the architecture in the antique trading market.

In the antique trading market, the tallest buildings were only three-story high. Half of the buildings had ordinary shop facades, while the other half were pavilion shops in the style of ancient architecture.

Wang Ke was going to go back home. Since there was not enough time for him before dinner, he did not directly go to the East Gate. Instead, he rushed towards the construction site in the south. If he climbed over the southernmost wall of the construction site, he would reach the park where he taught Tiezi yesterday. Then, in the east of the park, there was only one wall between the park and the community he lived in.

It would take him ten to twenty minutes to go back if he left from the East Gate. However, if he took a shortcut, he could go back home within eight minutes.

Those building workers, who lived at the bottom of the society and raised their families through physical labor, were the most pathetic but respectable group. They built high-rise buildings with hard work, but it was not them who could live in these high-rise buildings in the end. What they could get were only the poor wages.

Gao Xinmin was a building worker. A few days ago, he and some of his workmates went to Self House and asked Zhao Menfeng for help after having an accident. Mr. Zhao cured some of his workmates with the runes of healing. However, Gao Xinmin himself was not treated with the runes of healing.

He was grateful that there was another fantastic person in Self House. That young man was named Wang Ke. It was Wang Ke who cured him through special treatment. Besides, he recovered completely and went back to work on the construction site only after resting for four to five days. In that case, much of the medical compensation paid by the contractor was saved and used to support his family.

Therefore, he always wanted an opportunity to go to Self House and express his sincere gratitude to Mr. Zhao and that young benefactor Wang Ke.

Standing on a scaffold more than twenty meters high, Gao Xinmin carefully took the bricks his workmates handed over. He carefully put all the bricks under his feet, waiting to continue the work later.

He did not realize that one rope of the scaffold on which he was standing was about to break.

"Gao, be quick. We can knock off after finishing laying those bricks." A man about thirty years old, who had got completely dirty, wiped the sweat off his forehead and shouted.

Gao Xinmin laughed, "OK. You hurry up, too. I'll finish laying all the bricks within half an hour. By the way, let's get together tonight and have a drink. Then, we can also discuss going to Self House to thank our benefactor another day!"

"No problem. It happens that I have two bottles of good wine under my bed. Later, we can also call Sun and others together..." That man around thirty was suddenly shocked while speaking. Then, he immediately cried, "Ah! Watch out, Gao."

Gao Xinmin standing on the scaffold suddenly felt that nothing was supporting him under his feet. In an instant, his body lost balance, and he fell toward the outer side after a cry.

His heart twitched a few times, and his face turned completely ashen. He knew that he would lose his life as the place where he stood was twenty meters high. Even if he would not be smashed to mud, he would be into pieces.

He felt as if tens of thousands of needles had penetrated invisibly into his heart. His nose twitched, and some tears immediately rushed out of his eyes.

He knew that he would die as no one falling from this height could survive.

He was reluctant and filled with fear.

It did not result from the fear of death. Instead, he just dared not imagine what his family would suffer if he died.

The blowing wind sounded in his ears. He felt the injuries of his body resulting from his fall on the lower bamboo poles.

His heart was sobbing. Scenes were flashing through his mind like a movie.

He thought, "My dear son, I'll die. What about you? Sorry, it's all my fault. I'm too careless. My boy, you are only eight years old. Take care of yourself and your mother. I, your father, will return what I owe you this life to you if I could be reborn."

"Mom and dad, you're getting old. Don't go out and work for others. Though your son did not make a lot of money, it's enough for you to eat and drink well. In the last resort, I can work more. I'm not afraid, no matter how hard and tired. Mom and dad, sorry, I'm so unfilial. I cannot attend to you and bury you personally. Don't be too sad..."

"My wife, you are not in good health. Please live well! I, as your husband, am so sorry. I cannot earn money and buy medicine for you anymore. I am afraid that I won't be able to buy you the silver jewelry I promised you a few years ago. Sorry, my wife, your husband is useless, making you suffer hardship. Take care of yourself. Take care of our parents and son..."

"Hope that the contractor can give a bigger pension so that my family can suffer less pain..."

Two lines of tears fell down his dirty cheeks. The fear and reluctance made him painful and breathless.
