Chapter 186: Daily Life, Progress, and Discussing the Future (Slightly Filler)

~14 min read 2,610 words

Emma's movements froze, then she extremely naturally flicked out a flame, her body flipped, and a pinch of powder suddenly appeared between her fingers.

The flame was flicked onto Louis, but the sparks splashed as if blocked by an invisible barrier, and those powders were controlled out of thin air, reversing and flying back.

Louis chewed the barbecue, which was full of juice and spice flavors, his eyes calmly watching Emma.

It was as if he were saying, "Continue, let's see what other skills you have."

Emma's skills were not limited to this; she easily dodged the reversed powder, and a dagger appeared in her hand, who knows when, as she stabbed directly at him.

Her eyes were cold.

Her movements were swift and decisive.

Paired with that black hooded outfit, she looked just like some cold-blooded assassin.

Louis, however, still did not dodge or evade; he even bent down to pick up a few skewers of barbecue, looking at Maria and Madison.

"Long time no see."

Maria and Madison were already stunned.

"Don't!" Maria shouted.

Clang!

The dagger stabbed into his arm, but the invisible barrier on the surface of his body blocked the dagger once again, and no matter how hard she tried or changed direction, it was to no avail.

Louis smiled at Maria and waved his hand, "Don't worry, this is just how our family gets along; you'll get used to it later."

Maria's mouth was wide open, and she turned her head left and right frequently, unable to speak for a long time. Seeing Maria was stunned, Louis looked at Madison.

This girl was quite bold; seeing Louis unharmed, she immediately showed a curious expression.

"Louis, how did you do that? Did you get stronger again? Since when can you block knives?"

Madison was also someone who had experienced the Moth God incident and knew Louis was very powerful. In fact, it was because of Louis's heroic rescue that she decided to join the team, but she didn't expect that after not seeing him for a while, Louis seemed to have become even more powerful!

"This? Just made a little progress not long ago, not worth mentioning."

Madison rolled her eyes. Not worth mentioning? If I could block knives, I would go to Hollywood to develop and act in blockbusters right now!

"How have you been lately?"

"How? Guess." Madison's mouth turned up slightly, looking very proud.

Louis raised his eyebrows, but he deliberately didn't follow her lead, "By the way, what was Maria doing in the back just now?"

Madison curled her lips, but still answered, "Oh, this, you understand. Three big beauties staying here, someone will always have ideas. Plus, with the current wave of unemployment and the soaring crime rate, even more people have ideas."

"So, Maria just took a little action."

Madison said in a teasing tone and even made a throat-slitting gesture.

Louis understood, "So that's it. It seems Maria has been slack lately; this body wasn't buried in the right place."

These words suddenly woke Maria up, and her face flushed red, "Sorry, I just wanted to have barbecue with everyone as soon as possible."

"Hmm, I know. However, I left some people nearby. Didn't they take action?" Louis stroked Maria's soft black long hair to soothe her while asking.

"Eh? They were the people you left?" Maria was stunned.

Looking at that dazed expression, a bad premonition arose in Louis's heart, "You didn't kill them, did you?"

"No, no, no, they were knocked out by me. Emma said to control them first, so I didn't kill them."

???

Tsk, this Emma.

Could she not know those were the people he sent? This girl did it on purpose!

So mean.

Fortunately, she still knew some limits; it was just a prank.

However, Maria's strength should have improved significantly, otherwise, it would be impossible to easily solve the gunmen he sent. Of course, it couldn't be ruled out that they were solved because they were held back.

"That's good, let them go in a while."

"Mm-hmm." Maria nodded repeatedly.

"What have you been doing lately?" Louis asked about Maria's recent situation. Only by communicating more, interacting more, and caring more could they enhance their feelings, especially for a girl like Maria who valued emotions more. Don't look at Louis's method as plain.

In fact, it was the most effective.

Sure enough, Maria bit her lower lip lightly and immediately raised her head, her eyes clearly fluctuating, "Practicing Qi Gong, and that school witchcraft. My progress is very fast now. In a few months, I should be able to give birth to inner Qi."

When saying this, Maria's eyes became hot, and she was no longer shy, looking at Louis generously. Her eyes seemed to be releasing flames, and she was just short of rushing over to stare at Louis.

As a member of the team, she naturally practiced the Jade Maiden Art. She knew very well that when inner Qi was born, Yin Essence would condense, and Louis would only be with women who had born Yin Essence...

Therefore, she was so uncomposed.

Louis's mouth twitched slightly. This child always felt like she had signs of being a closet pervert. She looked shy, but in fact, she was very bold at times.

That's right, she was in her rebellious phase.

"Well done, keep it up, I'm looking forward to it."

Louis gave Maria a look.

Maria's fair cheeks instantly turned red, as if drunk, and her breathing became heavy. She lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.

Madison next to her rolled her eyes. As her best friend, Madison knew the other party too well.

Of course, the newly born personality didn't know, but this one now...

Recently in her rebellious phase, because she was bullied before, she even tried to learn to smoke. Later, she met Louis, who solved the bullying, but it seemed she went down another "path of no return."

Madison remembered the sound she heard when she accidentally passed by Maria's room while getting up at night, and her face suddenly became even more strange.

Glancing at Louis, she only felt that this guy in front of her really had a strange charm.

He could always make people go bad.

That Jiali was originally such an obedient person, even more obedient than Maria, but what about now? A total cold monster. Although she looked much more confident, the feeling she gave was also becoming dangerous, making one feel afraid involuntarily.

And Emma and Lunca beside him, which one was a normal girl?

Wait.

Hiss, I seem to be a member of his team too. Will I go bad too?

Madison, whose thoughts had gone off track, was suddenly startled.

At this time.

Slap!

A violent sound rang in her ears.

Madison subconsciously looked around, regained her senses, and looked up.

But she saw Louis was withdrawing his palm, looking at her with a playful look, "What are you thinking about? So absorbed."

"Nothing, right, right, I haven't been idle lately. Maria has improved, and I haven't fallen behind."

Madison, in a panic, said the words she had been waiting for Louis to ask so she could show off.

"My speed of practicing Qi Gong is the fastest, even Maria is not as good as me. I have caught up with her progress now. If nothing goes wrong, I will probably break through even earlier than her."

As expected, Maria, who was lowering her head, raised it slightly. Her left eye became pitch black, and she glanced at Madison without a trace.

But her right eye remained staring straight ahead.

His left eye glanced over with cold indifference, while his right eye looked straight ahead with a normal, flat expression; the two eyes were staring in different directions, revealing entirely different emotions.

That was because she was still lowering her head. If she raised her head and a normal person saw this scene, they would probably be startled.

Madison didn't notice; she had said it all.

"Not only that, because of practicing the Qi Gong you taught, I feel like I also have some special abilities, just like you and Jiali."

Speaking of this, Madison became a little excited. She widened her eyes and pointed at the stone table on the ground. An inexplicable force began to act on the table.

Two seconds later.

The table began to tremble.

Three seconds later.

The table flew up and drew some patterns in mid-air.

Louis narrowed his eyes, his Spiritual Eye had been opened unknowingly, watching everything in front of him.

In the perspective of the Spiritual Eye, Madison's soul showed abnormal fluctuations, and a large amount of mental power was constantly escaping from it. Accompanied by the fluctuations, this mental power affected the table, making it fly up.

A normal person, possessing this level of mental power...

Is this the Salem witch bloodline?

Recalling Madison's performance in the original drama, the other party's talent was very high, and she was even once mistaken by Fiona as the next Supreme Witch and killed. Until her death, her talent had not been fully excavated.

Her potential and value might even exceed his imagination.

This scene reminded Louis of those special existences in myths and legends. The descendants of immortals, demon immortals, divine beasts, etc., often had extraordinary talents.

Erlang Shen, descendant of a god-man.

Xu Shilin, descendant of a demon immortal and a human, and also the Wenqu Star descended to earth.

Shaokang, Dayu, Xie, Luwu...

Bloodline is real.

Once the bloodline is awakened, they can often save countless years of hard work and stand above those ordinary cultivators overnight.

And Madison in front of him certainly couldn't be compared with those myths and legends, but the principle was the same.

The original Madison awakened her bloodline under emotional agitation, but now, Qi Gong seemed to be able to help her actively excavate the power of her bloodline.

The complexity in Louis's eyes flashed away.

Regardless, this was a good thing. However, his pressure had increased a bit more. He didn't want to be surpassed by Madison; that would be embarrassing.

Louis thought so, while Madison had already dizzyingly put the table down. Obviously, now that her bloodline had not yet awakened, she could not use too much power.

"Louis, how is it?"

A proud smile hung on the corner of her mouth, and she even reached out her arm, trying to put it on Louis's shoulder, with the style of a big sister.

Louis glanced at her.

The next second.

Hum!!

An inexplicable sound rang in the air.

Only to see the table that Madison had just put on the ground was already floating again, but this table seemed to be squeezed by some huge force. In just a few seconds, it made a "painful" sound.

Under Madison's silent gaze, it was squeezed into a pile of rubble, and white stone dust flew in the air.

Madison silently withdrew her arm, and annoyance flashed in her eyes.

Damn!

She forgot.

This guy was very powerful.

Showing off these things in front of him was just asking for trouble. It was embarrassing!

Louis smiled at this time and patted her shoulder, "Powerful, it seems you have talent. You will definitely become a strong person in the future."

"However, this bit of ability is still too weak now. It's best not to show it off casually, otherwise, if such a ridiculous thing as today spreads out, I'm afraid of being laughed at."

Madison's face turned red instantly, and she stopped talking in shame and anger.

Louis shook his head.

Madison was different from Maria; her personality was flamboyant, self-centered, hot-tempered, and extroverted.

Sometimes she needed some sincere gentleness, which would hit her heart directly.

But if there was only gentleness, she would only look down on him. He had to tease her, let her know how powerful he was, and recognize the gap.

Only by combining the two could he truly hold this girl in his hands.

"Alright, let's continue the barbecue. It just so happens that I haven't eaten much these past few days, so I can satisfy my appetite. Let's taste Emma's and your craftsmanship."

Louis sat down. Even though there was no seat, Louis sat steadily.

A mass of Yin Spirit power floated underneath.

At the same time, Louis reached out his hand without turning his head.

He grabbed Emma's palm.

That's right.

Louis had been chatting with Maria and Madison for so long, but Emma had never given up the attack. In these short ten minutes, she actually used more than twenty methods!

Dagger, poison powder, bullets, elbow strikes, fire, electric shocks...

But all were declared invalid.

The protective effect of the Wan Huan Yi was beyond her imagination.

Now she was even grabbed by Louis.

Sad, it's over!

Emma was pulled to the front by Louis, "Come, continue grilling."

Louis pointed to the ingredients placed in front and said. Emma looked at Louis, then honestly started putting the skewers on to grill.

Maria looked at this scene with some confusion, not understanding why the relationship between Emma and Louis was like this. Weren't they already that?

Madison pulled her and whispered, "Don't do unnecessary things. Can't you see this is their flirting?"

Ah?

Madison mocked Maria a few times, "I guess they will..."

Maria was stunned and looked at Emma carefully.

Black long hair, although not tall, her body proportions were very good, her legs looked very long, and her face was exquisite and beautiful while her expression was very cold, carrying a charm like a dark loli.

She looked at herself again.

A familiar sense of inferiority arose spontaneously.

No, I must practice Qi Gong hard, I must follow closely behind Louis!

Maria pursed her lips tightly, making up her mind again.

"Come on, try the skewers Emma grilled."

"Mm, delicious."

"Indeed good."

"Eh? Emma, what are you eating? Continue grilling!"

"By the way, Madison, are you planning to go to college? Any college you want to go to?"

"I don't want to go to college anymore. I want to go to Hollywood to develop. I think the profession of a star who is in the spotlight will be very suitable for me."

A star?

Her academic performance was indeed not very good. Besides her bloodline, she had no special talents. It wouldn't be bad to be a star. If she found the master of the Chang Sect at that time, she would let the other party help her.

"Good, wish you become a big star, shining like the stars."

"Hahaha, I'll give you an autograph then!"

"What about Maria? Where are you planning to go?"

"Me? I, I listen to you."

"So that's it. I'm planning to go to MIT. Do you want to come together?"

"Ah? I, I, of course, of course I want to go together!"

"That's great. It seems I can have a companion then. Keep it up."

With just two simple sentences, Maria was already burning all over, her eyes flashing with excitement. It looked like she would work hard in these two or three years.

After asking the two, Louis looked at Emma who had secretly started eating the barbecue.

Emma's mouth twitched, she sighed, and said very consciously, "Got it, MIT."

Louis smiled and handed over a skewer of grilled chicken wings.

Emma took it and bit it fiercely, while looking at Louis.

Crunch, crunch—

She didn't even spit out the chicken bones, swallowing them all into her stomach.

This temporary barbecue gathering gradually passed in a joyful atmosphere.
