Chapter 12 Ordinary Teachers
Getting beaten up?
Upon hearing the girl utter those two words, Su Changming instantly felt excited... but a little flustered inside.
He turned his head to look at Bell, who was already standing in the middle of the living room, eager to try. Given how ruthless this guy was, he wouldn't be able to slap me against the wall so hard that I couldn't be pried out, would he?
Su Changming was still pacing back and forth when he heard a somewhat urging voice coming from the other side.
"Come quickly before the effects of the medicine wear off."
Hearing what the girl said, he gritted his teeth, stopped hesitating, and walked straight forward.
At worst, I'll just get a beating.
However, the scene of her beating him to the point of excruciating pain that he had imagined did not occur.
But as soon as Su Changming stood still, Ling had already moved to his left.
He was so close that he could feel strands of her hair brushing against his cheeks, and a delicate fragrance lingering around his nose.
Before Su Changming could even blush or feel his heart race, Ling had already slapped him squarely on the back.
There was no excruciating pain as I had imagined. Instead, the slight throbbing sensation in that area vanished completely after that slap.
Immediately afterwards, another palm landed on the biceps of the left arm.
"hiss--!"
Su Changming couldn't help but gasp.
It wasn't pain, but a kind of intense, bone-chilling ache.
With that palm strike, it felt as if a stream of energy was injected deep into the muscles, instantly making the entire left arm feel light and transparent.
Then, Ling's figure turned into a blur, quickly circling around Su Changming.
Right arm, lower back, outer thigh...
"Slap! Slap! Slap!"
The crisp tapping sounds echoed throughout the quiet living room, their rhythm brisk and melodious.
The bell moved with lightning speed, and its force was controlled with exquisite precision.
Each tap landed precisely on his congested meridians and taut muscles.
Inside the room, various strange humming sounds from Su Changming could be heard from time to time.
Anyone who didn't know better would think he was doing something indescribable at that moment.
In fact, Su Changming felt as if he were receiving a full-body massage from a top master.
The feeling of the medicine being forcibly injected into the deep tissues under the patting made every pore of his body cheer with joy.
The chronic illnesses and the fatigue and soreness of the past few days seemed to be completely washed away after this smooth and flowing massage.
My whole body felt completely transparent.
A few minutes later, the slapping stopped abruptly.
Su Changming opened his eyes, feeling refreshed, and looked at the girl who had finished her business and was calmly packing up, her expression somewhat strange.
Would you say that this guy touched every inch of my body?
You'll take responsibility for me, right?
Ling ignored the boy's restless teenage thoughts.
She had returned to the sofa, leaning back lazily, her long, slender, fair legs casually crossed, reverting to her aloof and unapproachable demeanor.
Seeing that Su Changming was also preparing to sit down and rest, she didn't even lift her eyelids, and spoke calmly:
"You will stand there for another half an hour."
"..."
Okay, Su Changming obediently stood there without moving.
Then, over the next hour, he watched as the muscles in his body would twitch from time to time, and occasionally a lump would bulge out, as if something was drilling inside.
It wasn't until a full hour later that my body finally calmed down.
Only then can the medicinal effects truly be considered combined.
Su Changming let out a long breath and looked at the tall, slender figure sitting on the sofa.
As expected of my ring, the big sister!
However, before he could even reach the sofa, he heard the older sister, while looking at the book in her hands and without even raising her eyes, issue the next task.
"Go make some food, make a lot, people need a lot of energy at this time."
Come on.
Received, task guaranteed!
Su Changming hurriedly ran to the kitchen.
Although in this life he was a genuine rich man, born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and never had to lift a finger.
But in my previous life, as a seasoned office worker, self-sufficiency was already an essential skill.
Moreover, having studied abroad for the past few years, I've grown tired of Western food and often cook to satisfy my domestic cravings.
He naturally didn't neglect his craftsmanship.
Su Changming took out the fine yellow beef from the ice jar and cut off a large piece weighing a full three pounds.
Next, cut it into pieces, blanch it, and skim off the foam.
Heat oil in a wok, add scallions, ginger, and star anise to sauté until fragrant, then add beef chunks and stir-fry until they change color.
"Sizzle—"
The sound of oil hitting the high temperature was particularly pleasant in the quiet room, and the rich aroma of meat instantly filled the air.
Su Changming poured enough soy sauce and cooking wine into the pot, added a few pieces of rock sugar for color, and finally added enough boiling water to cover the meat. He then covered the pot and simmered it over low heat.
Then I washed a few more green vegetables, and then started kneading and rolling the dough into noodles by hand.
An hour later, two large bowls of beef and vegetable noodles were ready.
Su Changming walked into the living room carrying a bowl in one hand.
"Teacher Ling, you've worked hard! Please try my cooking!"
The girl ignored his banter, looked at the large bowl in his hand, and simply nodded calmly.
"That's very thoughtful."
The two sat down at the table, one as the host and the other as the host. Su Changming's stomach was already growling with hunger, and he was ready to start eating. But Ling was faster than him, and had already picked up a large piece of beef and put it into her mouth.
"..."
All I can say is, you're truly amazing!
Since that's the case, Su Changming didn't stand on ceremony. He picked up a large handful of noodles and quickly finished the whole bowl of beef noodles, soup and all, in no time. When he looked up, he found that Ling had already put down her chopsticks.
The boy instantly slumped, realizing he couldn't even compete with something like this.
……
The next few days consisted of repeatedly repeating the content from the first day.
It was early morning, just as dawn was breaking.
Su Changming began practicing standing meditation.
At first, I could only hold the position for twenty minutes, but later I was able to stand for a full hour.
My legs became more and more stable, and my breathing became more and more even.
Then comes the daily medicinal bath time.
He watched as money was being tossed around in handfuls, which made his heart clench, but fortunately, the effect was also extremely noticeable.
Combined with the massage-like slapping from the bell and the extra training he received late at night, his muscles and bones were strengthening at a visible rate.
Besides that, Su Changming kept cooking all sorts of meat dishes in different ways: braised, stewed, stir-fried. Twenty pounds of beef disappeared at a visible speed, followed by mutton, pig's trotters...
The only pity is that he achieved a record of zero wins and ten losses in the eating contest with Rin!
All I can say is that he concedes defeat.
Five days passed in the blink of an eye.
night.
Su Changming completed the last set of projects for the day, only to suffer another crushing defeat at the hands of Ling.
However, he was still in a good mood at the moment.
If it was a lie for him to say that he was "terrifyingly strong" in front of Rin after the first medicinal bath, then it was a lie.
So, Su Changming at this moment is a complete transformation compared to himself five days ago.
At first glance, although there isn't much difference when he's dressed, when he takes off his shirt, you can clearly see his noticeably bulging muscles, which exude a sense of power.
The explosive power of a punch nowadays is close to 1,000 kilograms, which is already the limit for normal humans.
Then there's Qi and blood. What Ling had always described as weak is now incredibly vigorous, at least twice as strong as before.
His skin has also become incredibly resilient. Although it's still some distance from truly reaching the ninth rank of martial arts, the Skin Refining Realm, where one is impervious to blades and spears, it's not far off.
He tried to cut his skin with the sharp tip of a knife, leaving only a shallow white mark that quickly faded.
If Ling were to possess him now, the combined strength of the two of them would definitely be enough to easily defeat his cheap future father-in-law.
Standing in front of the mirror, Su Changming looked at the refined and easy-going young man and couldn't help but smile faintly.
What suited thugs and musclemen? I am just an ordinary teacher who will be starting my new job tomorrow.
