Chapter 34 The Release of the Spirit Energy

Seeing Li Ruoxi laughing unrestrainedly, Wang Ke was a little annoyed. He thought that even though she had exquisite beauty, she should not take pleasure in his misfortune.

"Boss Li, please tell me whether you have some orders. If not, I will go to finish my homework. Although the senior has given me one month, it's not easy to finish this hard task within one month." Wang Ke said plainly.

Of course, Li Ruoxi noticed the bad mood of Wang Ke. However, somehow, the unhappier Wang Ke was, the happier she was. When she thought of the reason she called him to stop, the smile on her face faded. She picked up the piece of paper with a lot of writing on it from the coffee table and gave it to Wang Ke. Then she said, "This is the treaty you promised me yesterday. Sign it! As a man, you should keep your promise, and you can't go back on what you have agreed."

Wang Ke raised his eyebrows and took over that piece of paper. After reading its content clearly, he became a little annoyed.

"Boss Li, the content of your treaty is too harsh, right? Regardless of other clauses, let's focus on Clause Twenty-six, writing that I must be on call at any time, and the contract between us must last for two years. If I quit doing it within these two years, I will have to compensate you ten times the sum of all the income I have earned since I worked. Are you planning to use me as a long-term hired worker?"

Li Ruoxi remained calm in the face and said peacefully, "Since you have agreed to be a bodyguard of me, and I have been satisfied with you during the trial period, we will just sign a long-term treaty! Do you think I've hired a temporary worker? Think about other jobs on the market. Which boss wants his employees to resign after ten days or half a month? The boss who wants that kind of employee is truly crazy! What's more, I offer board, accommodation, and a generous salary to you. You are so lucky to have me be your boss. Don't talk the nonsense. You agreed last night. Sign it quickly."

Wang Ke said angrily, "Right. I agreed last night. But I never agreed to sign such a harsh treaty. It can't be this. You must change this clause."

Li Ruoxi did not insist on that but asked with a surprised look, "Are you going to jump ship? Or aren't you satisfied with the treatment I offer you?"

Wang Ke hurriedly shook his head. What a joke! Li Ruoxi had treated him so generously. He would be taking himself so seriously if he were still dissatisfied. Even though he had the extraordinary vision, if he failed to find undervalued treasures in a year or half, wouldn't it be a waste?

"I know. Is that because I restrain you too much? Make you feel unfree?" Said Li Ruoxi.

Wang Ke shook his head again. He had been in Li Ruoxi's villa for five or six days. Apart from subduing the five thieves the other night, he wasn't restrained by her from doing anything. She offered him good food, drinks and accommodation every day and never stopped him when he went out to Self House.

Li Ruoxi stood up slowly and stared at Wang Ke. She said, "Is that because I am so ugly, which scares you? So you don't plan to work for me?"

Wang Ke shook his head again without hesitation. He thought, "What a ridiculous joke! If you were ugly, there would be no beauty in the world."

"Then it seems that my place is too small for you to live in comfortably? Is it too tight for such a big shot as you?" Li Ruoxi's face turned a little cold.

Wang Ke shook his head again. This was a luxury villa with not only an independent yard but also a swimming pool and a garden. There were even three parking spaces. How could one say it was small?

Li Ruoxi grabbed the pen on the coffee table and put it in Wang Ke's hand, "Since none of these is the reason, sign it as soon as possible. Otherwise, I'll think it's all my fault as the boss."

"I..."

Wang Ke smiled bitterly. Seeing Li Ruoxi, he was hesitating.

"You what? This is not a contract of selling yourself, but just a good job guarantee for you. Am I wrong? If you were someone else, let alone two years, two months would be too many. Sign it quickly. I'll go surfing the Net later." Li Ruoxi said a little impatiently.

Wang Ke took a deep breath and said to Li Ruoxi, "If you want me to sign it, you must remove the two-year time limit. Finding a job is not the ultimate goal of my coming to Changji. I need to study. And as you see, I need to learn knowledge from the masters of antiques, magic weapons, and even geomancers. Therefore, I won't have much time to protect you. You remove this time limit. I have the right to resign."

Li Ruoxi paused. Seeing Wang Ke's serious look, she frowned slightly.

"You have some big ambitions?"

Wang Ke did not keep reserved but nodded and said solemnly, "Yes. I must make some accomplishments here in Changji."

Li Ruoxi said with a doubtful look, "Aren't you kidding?"

Wang Ke said, "How can a common fellow read the mind of a great man?"

"You..."

Li Ruoxi glared at him with her almond-shaped eyes. Then she smiled with a flash of crafty in her eyes and said after a quiet cough, "In this case, I think I do not need to change this clause. We could add a new clause that I allow you to study freely, and I won't restrict your freedom. If you want to learn knowledge, I will let you learn. If you want to start your business, I'll also agree as long as it won't take you too much time. Of course, you have to protect me whenever I need you."

Wang Ke thought of it quickly in his mind. He thought, "She won't restrict my freedom? Then it'll be like these days. And offer me food and accommodation?"

"No problem. Add this clause, and I'll sign it."

Li Ruoxi quickly added that clause and gave the paper to Wang Ke. Seeing Wang Ke signing his name, she smiled with a little satisfaction and said with a nod, "Then the treaty comes into effect. I have important things that require you to go out with me ten days later. Please get psyched up. This time, I'm going out for negotiating with others."

Wang Ke was confused and asked, "Why do I need psychological preparations for going out with you ten days later?"

Li Ruoxi did not answer him but just glanced at him, signaling him to follow her order. Then she picked up her laptop and went to the second floor.

Seeing Li Ruoxi's swaying back, Wang Ke was confused in his heart. Suddenly, he thought that he seemed to have got into big trouble. The bad feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger.

By the way, when he met her for the second time, she said that someone would be against her. She got engaged with him because she thought he was a bad guy and wanted to hurt her. Did she truly have any enemy?

"Negotiate with others?"

"With whom?"

Could it be that she was not a boss of a company but a big sister of the underworld?

What's more, in these days he had been here, she never seemed to have gone out. If she had a company in Changji, why didn't she go to her company?

With all kinds of questions in his mind, he wanted to rush up to the second floor to ask Li Ruoxi. But after a few steps, he finally stopped. He thought, "If Li Ruoxi wants to tell me, I'm afraid she would have told me already. If she doesn't want to say, maybe even if I ask her, she won't tell me, right?"

"Whatever. Just roll with the punches and adapt myself to different circumstances! Besides, I'm not a big shot. I have neither money nor power. I don't need to be afraid that she wants something from me."

Wang Ke shook his head and walked to his room.

The next test was one month away. Although the task Mr. Zhao gave him was very hard, he thought it was not urgent. He planned to take a day off and then think about the rote memorization!

Thinking for a moment, he turned on his computer and searched for information on antiques, magic weapons, and Fengshui layouts on the Internet. Sometimes, after finding a great deal of information, he would use his U-disk to store it. Then he would learn the knowledge by comparing the information on the Internet and on the books he had bought.

Thanks to the improvement in his memory, he could memorize things very quickly.

After a few hours, Wang Ke had got a lot of information. He turned off the computer and had a quick review in his mind of the knowledge he had learned today. Then he converged his mind with satisfaction and crossed his legs, starting to cultivate the skills in Dragon's Momentum.

The breakthrough in his cultivation of Dragon's Momentum was extremely beyond his expectation. He had cultivated it for many years. But it took nearly ten years for him to upgrade from the first stage to the second stage. However, it took only less than ten days from the second stage to the third, which made him feel that he was in a dream.

But the power rushing in the body was real, and this kind of infinite power was not something he could feel in a dream.

Although his fast-running spirit energy did not increase with the two-day cultivation, he could feel that his cultivation realmbecame stable.

"Gee?"

During the cultivation, his slightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and his hands stretched forward unexpectedly.

A limp and numb feeling generated in his heart. A large sum of spirit energy flowed into his palms quickly through the meridians in his arms. This situation was not under his control. It was that some slightly unusual changes took place while the spirit energy was running. Therefore, he didn't take much control but just let the spirit energy circulating quickly in his body's meridians run on its own.

But what was going on now?

Why was there an intolerably itchy feeling in his ten fingers?

Wang Ke was quite confused in his heart. Suddenly, he felt some coolness on his ten fingertips, and the spirit energy merging into his palms seemed to be dragged by something. After quickly blending into the skin of the fingertips, it was like a seedling that quickly drilled out of the soil, emitting ten faint air currents from his fingertips.

The ten air currents that were hard for the n***d eye to catch only emitted half a foot long and then disappeared into heaven and earth. His ten itchy fingers also became a little swollen and looked much thicker than usual.

Wang Ke's eyes were full of dullness, and his heart was trembling slightly. After a few seconds, when he realized it quickly, suddenly, his face turned to be full of ecstasy.

The notes of each word came out from his mouth in a trembling tone.

"Oh my god! Is that the release of the spirit energy?"
