Chapter 97: Dried Jade Snake, Introduction to the Golden Body (Please subscribe)
The next morning.
As soon as Zhao Ya got up, Song Renqiang came with someone.
"Commander Zhao, the house has been packed up for you overnight, and you can move in now."
Zhao Ya nodded.
In fact, it doesn't matter where he lives, it's just a pity that Zui'er finally built the stove.
Seemingly noticing Zhao Ya's gaze, Song Renqiang laughed.
"The house arranged for you this time is not only spacious, but also has its own kitchen. If Madam Ling likes to cook, you can do it there. And I have told you that if there are any fresh seasonal vegetables in the kitchen, I will send them to you. ."
Even Zhao Ya had to admit that Song Renqiang was impeccable in his work, and his ability to observe people's emotions was extremely good.
He just glanced at it casually, and he was able to guess what he was thinking and arrange it.
No wonder he was able to prosper in the Song family and became the general manager of the house. He was indeed quite capable.
Zui'er also packed up and saluted at this time, and followed Zhao Ya to his new residence with a small baggage on his back.
Zhao Ya and Song Renqiang were talking and laughing along the way, but Song Renqiang was talking most of the time, and Zhao Ya only chimed in occasionally.
"Commander Zhao, look, this is your new residence!" Song Renqiang said with a smile.
Zhao Ya looked up and saw a very grand courtyard in front of him. The conditions and environment were much better than before.
After entering the courtyard, it was just as Song Renqiang described. It was not only spacious and bright, but also had a kitchen, a backyard, and even a small flower garden.
Zui'er walked around happily, especially satisfied with the kitchen.
Song Renqiang chatted with Zhao Ya for a few more words, and then took the initiative to say goodbye and leave.
"Do you like it?" Zhao Ya asked.
"Hmm, it's really big here!" Zui'er said excitedly.
This sentence seemed familiar to Zhao Ya. It seemed that he heard Zui'er say it to him last night.
"As long as you like it!" Zhao Ya said with a smile.
The new home soon welcomed its first guest.
The round-headed maid Xiaoman walked in carrying a brocade box, followed by Song Peiwan.
Today, Song Peiwan has changed into a blue dress, which is a little less cold and a little more girlish.
When he saw Song Peiwan coming, Zui'er was so frightened that he wanted to hide, but Zhao Ya grabbed him and then gave Song Peiwan a smile.
"Why are you here, Miss?"
Song Peiwan's eyes moved, and she said with a smile: "General Zhao has moved to his new home, so I naturally want to come to congratulate you. What? Don't you welcome him?"
"Of course not. I am extremely honored that the eldest lady can come in person."
The maid next to her, Xiaoman, suddenly burst into laughter, and then said to Zhao Ya.
"Commander Zhao, in order to congratulate you, my lady has been busy all morning, and she hasn't even had a drink of water yet. Don't you want to invite my lady to have some tea?"
"Noisy, you are the only one who talks too much." Song Peiwan blushed and scolded Xiao Man.
Xiao Man smiled and didn't care.
She has followed Song Peiwan since she was a child, saying that she is a master and servant, but she is like a sister, so naturally she is not afraid of this rebuke.
Zhao Ya was also a little embarrassed and quickly let Song Peiwan into the living room.
After Song Peiwan sat down, Zui'er planned to bring the water up, but was stopped by Zhao Ya.
"Let me do it!"
"How about that? You..."
But Zhao Ya didn't listen to her at all and came to the living room with a tea tray.
"I'm sorry, I just moved here and I haven't prepared many things. I can only ask the eldest lady to drink a cup of hot water."
After saying that, Zhao Ya put down the tea tray and poured a glass of water for Song Peiwan very naturally.
Song Peiwan didn't say anything, she just watched with a smile.
It wasn't until Zhao Ya handed over the water glass that she reached out to take it, and then said: "It stands to reason that with your position as Commander Zhao, you should be served by servants. What? Didn't the housekeeper prepare it for you?"
"No, Butler Song wanted to send me some maids just now, but I refused. To put it bluntly..."
Zhao Ya smiled and said, "I am not a lucky person and I am not used to being served by others."
Song Renqiang did mention sending maids over several times, but Zhao Ya had so many secrets that he couldn't accept them, so he declined them all.
After listening to Zhao Ya's words, Song Peiwan remained silent and just looked at the water glass in her hand with interest.
She didn't speak, and Zhao Ya didn't say anything either.
Silence fell in the living room.
Xiaoman looked at the young lady strangely, and then at Zhao Ya. He didn't understand why the two of them were silent and silent.
After a moment, Song Peiwan raised her head and asked, "Is that girl just now Zui'er?"
"Um!"
"She looks so beautiful."
"I think so."
Looking at Zhao Ya who looked calm, Song Peiwan smiled suddenly, then stood up and said.
"Commander Zhao has just moved into his new home. He must have a lot of things to do, so I won't bother you too much. This is a little gift, a little bit of my thoughts."
Xiaoman put the brocade box in his hand on the table, and then followed Song Peiwan to leave.
Zhao Ya didn't refuse or persuade him to stay, he just got up to see him off.
After reaching the entrance of the courtyard, Song Peiwan suddenly turned around and said to Zhao Ya.
"By the way, I'm very satisfied with today's tea. How about you pour it for me when I come back later?"
Zhao Ya was stunned.
Song Peiwan didn't care about this, "That's it."
After saying that, he smiled and left with Xiaoman.
After she left, Zui'er, who had been hiding in the kitchen and didn't dare to show his face, suddenly poked his head out and exclaimed: "The eldest lady is so beautiful!"
Zhao Ya: "......"
Then he knocked Zui'er on the head with a look of helplessness and turned back to the living room.
Zui'er stood there covering his head, wondering why Brother Xiaoya wanted to hit him.
At night.
Zhao Ya stood in the courtyard, opened the brocade box given by Song Peiwan, and found that it was filled with a box of dried meat.
A strong aroma of meat penetrates your nostrils.
In an instant, Zhao Ya's intestines and stomach began to wriggle crazily, as if he was saying, "Give me a bite, just one bite!"
Zhao Yaqiang calmed down and picked up a piece of dried meat to examine it.
This dried meat is different from the green bamboo dried meat. The color is bright and shiny, and it is faintly translucent, like jade.
Zhao Ya knew that this should be a higher-level exotic animal meat jerky than the green bamboo snake jerky.
Sure enough, there was a line of small words written on the inner cover of the brocade box.
Dried jade snake.
Zhao Ya put a jade snake stem into his mouth, chewed it a few times and then swallowed it.
Then Zhao Ya felt as if he had swallowed a sun composed of qi and blood, and the pure qi and blood overflowed wildly.
No matter how much Mizutani absorbs the subtle talents, this overflow situation still does not slow down at all.
Zhao Ya let out a low groan of pain and joy, and at the same time, Fengxin's talent for turning red was activated.
The heart beats like a war drum, stimulating energy and blood throughout the body.
Zhao Yafu reached his soul and immediately guided the energy and blood to the skin according to the records of the Golden Body Jue.
In the blink of an eye, Zhao Ya felt that his whole body was swelling.
It was as if he had become an inflated balloon that might explode at any time.
Zhao Ya did not hesitate, and immediately began to exercise the skin of his body according to the movements recorded in the Golden Body Art to promote the absorption of Qi and blood.
After practicing the entire set of movements, the swelling finally disappeared and was replaced by a sense of fulfillment.
[Add 3 to the proficiency of the Golden Body Technique]
Following this reminder, Zhao Ya felt that his strength and reaction speed had increased.
Although it is still early to advance to the Fourth Realm, this is a welcome change. It at least proves that it is feasible to advance to the Fourth Realm through the Golden Body Art.
At this time, the dried Jade Snake in the intestines and stomach has not been completely absorbed, and is still exuding pure Qi and blood.
Although the overflow situation is no longer so strong, it is enough to prove how powerful this jade snake is.
Naturally, this energy and blood cannot be wasted, so Zhao Ya immediately began to practice the Eight Parts of Vajra Kung Fu.
This technique has become Zhao Ya's muscle memory, and every movement is at his fingertips.
After completing a set of eight Vajra exercises, the prompt appeared again.
[Add 2 to the proficiency of the Eight Parts of Vajra Skills]
[Add 1% to liver unlock progress]
Zhao Ya was unmoved. The Eight Parts of Vajra Kung Fu were followed by the Five Tiger Fist, then the Wild Wind Sword Technique, the Swallow Three Copies of Water, and the Qing Kung Fu Flying on Grass...
Finally, when Zhao Ya finished practicing the big monument-slamming move, the prompts had already refreshed the screen.
[Five Tiger Fist proficiency plus 19]
[Add 11 to the proficiency of the gale sword technique]
[Swallow's three-step water proficiency is increased by 9]
….
Zhao Ya stopped and slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air. Only then did he realize that the energy and blood of the jade snake stem had been completely absorbed.
Open the properties panel again and the data has changed.

[Liver unlock progress: 3%]
Not only have there been great improvements in all aspects of skills, but even the life span has been increased by a full year.
And all of this only comes from a piece of dried meat, which shows how powerful this jade snake dried meat is.
Only then did Zhao Ya realize the preciousness of the gift Song Peiwan gave him.
Although the brocade box is not big, there must be at least twenty or thirty pieces in the whole box.
And Zhao Ya estimated that if this level of exotic animal dried meat were left outside, you wouldn't be able to buy one for a hundred taels of silver.
In this way, this brocade box of dried meat is priceless.
Even though he had saved her life and was now the guard commander of the Song family, the price of winning over her was probably too high.
Or...does she really have other intentions?
Zhao Ya frowned slightly, thinking about this matter in his mind.
At the same time, Song Peiwan had returned to the back house.
Song Linqing sighed as soon as he saw her, "Did you get the dried jade snakes in the warehouse?"
"Yeah!" Song Peiwan nodded.
"Did you give them all to that boy?"
"Not bad!" Song Peiwan nodded again, and then said strangely.
"He is moving today. I must bring some gifts when I go over to congratulate him. It happens to be something that suits him better, so I gave it all to him. What's wrong, bro? Is there a problem?"
Song Linqing couldn't laugh or cry after hearing this, "Of course there is a problem. The warehouse just complained to me. You took away all the inventory. It took more than a month to save, and you took it all away. This is too cruel."
"Isn't that what you said, that he has an unlimited future and that our Song family should train him well? What? When it comes time to spend money, you won't be able to part with it?" Song Peiwan said disapprovingly.
Song Linqing sighed, "This is not a matter of money. The key is that the jade snake stems were reserved in advance by regular customers. Now that you have taken them all away, how can I explain to them? You can keep some at least!"
"Then I don't care. Anyway, you said you would train him well, so I will do as you say. Don't even think about complaining about me!" Song Peiwan said with a smile, and then took Xiaoman back to her yard.
At this moment, Song Linqing suddenly said quietly: "Wan'er, don't forget that you have an engagement with the young master of the Yang family."
Song Peiwan paused, and after a moment she said without looking back: "I know that for the benefit of the family, I will not embarrass you, but now I just want to do what I want to do, okay?"
"Wan'er..."
"It goes without saying, brother, I understand that I am a member of the Song family. Since I enjoy a life that is more generous than ordinary people, I have to bear the fate it brings. I accept it!"
"Let's not mention the incident at the Great Buddha Temple. He was not there at the time, which is understandable. But now that I have been back for two days, has anyone from the Yang family come to ask?"
Song Linqing stopped talking and could only watch her sister leave with sad eyes.
Because Song Peiwan told the truth, two or three days had passed since the incident at the Great Buddha Temple, but the Yang family was completely indifferent. They didn't even send a letter, as if they didn't know about it.
This ambiguous attitude made Song Linqing feel worried and angry.
At the same time, Song Peiwan, who returned to her residence, sat in a chair in a daze.
Xiaoman knew that the young lady felt uncomfortable, but she didn't dare to say anything and could only stand aside and wait.
"Xiao Man." Song Peiwan suddenly called out.
"Well, Miss, I'm here." Xiaoman stepped forward quickly.
"Tell me, what do the Yang family want to do?"
Xiaoman stopped talking.
Although she had been thinking about this matter, when Song Peiwan really asked about it, she didn't know what to say.
"Miss, we are family friends with the Yang family. They may have been negligent in what happened this time..."
"A family friend..." Song Peiwan suddenly sneered.
"What a nice word!"
Early the next morning, Song Renqiang came again.
And this time he also brought someone very familiar to Zhao Ya.
Li Chunfeng.
I saw Song Renqiang carrying many seasonal fruits and vegetables and things for use, talking to Zhao Ya with a smile on his face.
"After all, the preparations were a little hasty before, and many things were not prepared, so yesterday I ordered people to purchase some application items. Is it suitable for Commander Zhao?"
"Thank you, Butler Song!" Zhao Ya thanked him, and then looked at Li Chunfeng, pretending to be surprised.
"Isn't this Chief Li?"
Li Chunfeng is a minor leader of the nursing home village, but because of Song Renqiang's relationship, he is often called "Leader Li" respectfully.
Song Renqiang hurriedly introduced: "Commander Zhao, this is my adopted son Li Chunfeng. I wanted to bring him here to get to know you, but I didn't expect that you guys actually know each other."
"I know you, of course I do. I met Leader Li a few times when I was a guard before." Zhao Ya said with a smile.
Song Renqiang laughed, but saw that Li Chunfeng remained silent, so he couldn't help but urge him: "Hurry up and meet Commander Zhao!"
Li Chunfeng reluctantly handed over his hand, "I've met Commander Zhao!"
Then he stepped aside and stopped talking.
To be honest, Li Chunfeng really couldn't understand why his godfather was so interested in this boy.
Before he even got up in the morning, Song Renqiang pulled him out of bed, saying that he wanted him to get acquainted with the upstarts of the Song family.
Isn't it this guy named Zhao? It's not like I didn't know him before.
I heard that I seemed to have saved the eldest lady once when I went out, and I reached the sky in one fell swoop when I came back.
Li Chunfeng was jealous and resentful of this.
He felt that if he had been assigned at that time, he would have been able to do it, and he would have done it better than this guy.
But there is no point in talking about it now. Li Chunfeng plans to wait for his godfather to leave later, and then he will play with the girl he just hooked up with last night.
Tsk tsk, although that girl is a bit older, her sultriness is quite exciting, and the key point is that she looks a bit similar to Xia Hongyu.
Li Chunfeng felt a little angry when he thought of Xia Hongyu who almost had it in his mouth.
Oh shit.
Don't let me catch who caused the trouble that night, or I'll kill you.
Li Chunfeng was thinking wildly when Zui'er came out of the kitchen.
"Brother Xiaoya is having dinner, and Butler Song is here too!"
"Miss Zui'er!" Song Renqiang greeted with a smile.
When Zui'er saw someone outside, he nodded and hurried back to the house.
When Li Chunfeng saw Zui'er, his eyes lit up, and his eyes remained glued to Zui'er until she entered the room, then he gave up.
He thought that no one else noticed his little moves.
But little did he know that when he looked at Zui'er and saw Yinxie's color, Zhao Ya had already noticed it.
Zhao Ya felt cold in his heart, and then a killing intent flashed in his eyes.
But soon Zhao Ya hid these murderous intentions and chatted and laughed with Song Renqiang.
After chatting for a while, Song Renqiang took Li Chunfeng and left.
After leaving the courtyard, Song Renqiang led Li Chunfeng into a small road.
"Godfather, why did you bring me here?" Li Chunfeng looked confused.
Song Renqiang remained silent, but stretched out his hand to greet Li Chunfeng to come closer.
Li Chunfeng did not doubt that he was there and quickly walked closer.
"Godfather..."
Before he finished speaking, Song Renqiang raised his hand and slapped Li Chunfeng.
This slap was extremely hard.
Li Chunfeng was stunned by the slap. He covered his cheek and wailed, "Godfather, why did you hit me?"
"Why are I beating you? Haha, I'm beating you, a guy like you who doesn't live up to your expectations."
Song Renqiang sneered, pointed at Li Chunfeng's nose and asked.
"Let me ask you, why were you unhappy when you were with Commander Zhao just now, and why were you so indifferent to Commander Zhao? Do you think he was just a small guard at the beginning, and that he got to this point purely by luck?"
Li Chunfeng covered his face and said aggrievedly: "Do you beat me just because of this godfather? And am I wrong in thinking this?"
"Damn it, if this Zhao Ya was really lucky, he would have been burned to death in the Great Buddha Temple. To tell you the truth, this Zhao Ya is now very respected by the family owner, and his personality is calm and restrained. Even I can't see through it. You How dare you look down on him?"
Speaking of this, Song Renqiang was simply heartbroken, "I dragged you here so early in the morning just to get you closer to him, but I didn't expect you to be so unsatisfactory. It's really impossible to hold up the wall!"
The two chapters are combined into one, which is a large chapter of 5,000 words. This is more convenient. There is another chapter in the afternoon that is also 5,000 words long, and I will continue to update it with 10,000 words today.
In fact, I had already written it all, but I always felt that something was wrong with the plot, so I made major changes, so I had to rewrite it.
Now let me report the results. The first order so far is 1200. The goal of 1500 will definitely not be reached, but I am also very satisfied with the results, so I will do my best to update during this time.
I dare not say ten thousand words every day, but I will try my best.
Finally, I would like to thank my readers again for supporting me. There is nothing I can do in return, only code words!
