By the eight-claw lake, the fifth mummy had arrived.
Li Xiaogong, filled with curiosity, leaned in and prodded the mummy a few times.
"Oh..."
"Hiss!!!!"
"Stop poking, my skin hasn't finished growing back yet!"
Yuan Tiangang grimaced in pain, but Sun Simiao had instructed him not to move around carelessly for half a month.
He even needed help to urinate, or he would have to bear all consequences!
The cosmetic stitches were finer than a strand of hair.
While they guaranteed no scars, the drawback was that any significant movement could cause them to split open.
"Wow? This is truly a miracle!"
Chai Shao, standing nearby, chuckled, his body shaking uncontrollably with laughter.
Damn it, he finally had his day!
Back in the day, when he was minding his own business, disaster struck, and it was all because of this old geezer!
"A miracle? Heh heh, just wait a few more days for me to recover, and you'll see what a real miracle is!"
Yuan Tiangang was unfazed. Instead, he smugly rolled his eyes at them.
How could these common mortals understand the price this true immortal paid in pursuit of a miracle?
............
Several days later, Yuan Tiangang had recovered. Wearing a loose Taoist robe, he once again approached the eight-claw lake.
Li Xiaogong, Chai Shao, and Fang Du had also healed from their injuries. They were now squatting side by side by the lake, fishing.
Upon seeing them from afar, Yuan Tiangang called out loudly with a laugh.
"Hey, buddies, let me show you a miracle!"
Chai Shao: ???
Damn it, what did this old geezer want to do?
Recalling their conversation a few days prior, he couldn't help but turn his head and shout in horror.
"Don't come over here!"
"No, no, with our relationship, if there's good news, we should share it, right?"
Yuan Tiangang smiled and strode towards them.
Chai Shao's heart began to tremble.
The first two times, he had luckily kept that one... Would he be so fortunate this time?
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became. He immediately threw down his fishing rod, leaped into the eight-claw lake, and swam towards the distance.
"Damn it, I don't want your miracle!"
Compared to Yuan Tiangang, he would rather face a crocodile...
At least when facing those beasts, life and death were entirely dependent on strength!
But facing Yuan Tiangang...
This was entirely down to luck, and he couldn't afford to be injured anymore...
"Hey, hey, hey!"
"Duke of Qiao, don't rush, won't you take a look at the miracle before you go?"
Yuan Tiangang, completely oblivious, called out to the splashing Chai Shao in the water with a deep sense of longing.
This spot was one of the eight bays extending from the main body of the eight-claw lake, with a water surface no wider than twenty meters.
Under the threat of life and death, Chai Shao unleashed astonishing potential. Before the crocodiles in the lake could react, he had already swum to the opposite bank.
Across the lake, he gave Yuan Tiangang the middle finger and then swaggered away.
Turning back, he let out a long sigh of lingering fear.
"Son of a bitch, I can't stay here anymore!"
He had made up his mind. No matter what, he had to convince Li Xiuning to let him return to Chang'an.
With Yuan Tiangang around, he feared he wouldn't live to see the fifteenth...
Well, today was already the fourteenth day of the first month in the sixth year of Zhenguan!
On the opposite side of the lake, Yuan Tiangang idly touched his nose, then turned to look at Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, and immediately grinned as he walked towards them.
"Duke Fang, Duke Du, I invite you to witness a miracle?!"
Fang Xuanling: ..........
I don't believe you, you scoundrel!
This wicked old man can't just be described as bad anymore!
"Uh, I still have soup simmering on the stove at home. You can have Old Du keep an eye on it for me!"
With that, like Chai Shao, he threw down his fishing rod and bolted.
Yuan Tiangang's expression immediately darkened.
Damn it, they all left. Who was he supposed to show off to?
"Look at all of you, so boring!"
"I traveled all the way from the research institute. Can you at least give me some face and take a look?"
As he spoke, he quickened his pace to Fang Xuanling and blocked him.
Fang Xuanling: ............
This guy, was he planning to force a prostitute...
Ah, no, was he planning to use force?
"You, you, what do you want!"
"Yuan Tiangang, I warn you, you mustn't act rashly, otherwise, my son Yiai will definitely not let you off!"
Yuan Tiangang chuckled, "Look at you, why so nervous? Don't worry, today's miracle has nothing to do with explosives!"
"Really?"
Fang Xuanling's request for confirmation was like hearing a celestial melody.
"More real than real gold. Come, let me show you what a miracle is!"
As Yuan Tiangang spoke, he began to untie his belt.
Seeing this, Fang Xuanling was completely stunned!
Holy cow!
Is this Taoist priest trying to be a pervert?
This is even worse than just hearing a bang!
"Stop!"
"Hurry and stop!"
"Fang swears, before you do anything, consider the consequences!"
"If you really do this, can you take responsibility??"
He retreated in panic, this old rogue, he couldn't defeat him! What should he do!
"Ninth Master, Ninth Master, save me, save me quickly!"
His gaze fell on Li Xiaogong beside him, and he quickly ran to him for help.
He couldn't win, but fortunately, there was someone with a military background nearby. Even if he wasn't an opponent, he could at least take a few shots for him!
"Holy crap! Get away from me!"
Li Xiaogong, seeing Yuan Tiangang's lecherous demeanor, shoved Fang Xuanling, who was hiding behind him, towards him.
Damn it, death to you, but not to my fellow Daoists!
Fang Xuanling was dumbfounded!
After finally finding a shield, he was directly thrown in front of Yuan Tiangang.
Old Yuan was triumphant, and he forcefully pulled open his clothes towards Fang Xuanling.
"Hahahaha! Look quickly, isn't it a miracle!"
Fang Xuanling instinctively covered his eyes, but his hands froze halfway to his eyes.
What kind of physique was that?
Firm!
Smooth!
Even...
He could clearly see the eight-pack abs!
It didn't seem like something a man nearing a hundred years old could possess!
It was outrageous!
"This..."
"Good heavens, it truly is a miracle!"
"I..."
"Can I touch it?"
He looked at Yuan Tiangang with a look of amazement and asked somewhat shyly.
Yuan Tiangang was delighted. This was the result he wanted. He smiled generously.
"Touch!"
"Touch boldly, don't worry, I won't charge you medical fees if you break it!"
Happiness can be shared!
Enjoying it alone is only a fraction of happiness.
If shared, it can bring double, even more than double, the happiness!
