The sight of snakes slithering out from hidden spots and following Lu Fan shocked everyone. Some people tried to hit them with sticks, but a snake suddenly reared its head and flicked its long, thin tongue at the person, who immediately retreated several steps in fear. The others dared not move.
Several police officers recognized Lu Fan, but they were surprised he possessed such abilities. After walking between two streets, Lu Fan found all sixteen snakes. They followed him obediently, as if trained.
Cages had been prepared. Lu Fan approached a metal cage and gestured towards it. *Swish, swish, swish...* The snakes all crawled inside on their own. *Clang!* Lu Fan locked the cage.
"Director Shen! What do you plan to do with these snakes? If you don't have a good plan for them, why don't you let me take them back to the mountains?" Lu Fan suddenly asked Shen Xinyi.
Shen Xinyi was stunned. She had some confidence that Lu Fan would have a solution, but she never expected him to be so incredible. He had only walked through the area, and all the snakes had emerged on their own. Was he a snake spirit or a snake king?
"Xinyi! I'm talking to you!" Liu Ruyan tugged at Shen Xinyi's sleeve, reminding her.
"Oh... alright... yes! You can take them," Shen Xinyi nodded hastily.
"Great! I'll leave them in your police station's courtyard for now, and I'll take them when I leave!" Lu Fan was delighted, thinking his farming business could expand to include snakes. Haha!
"Let's go! Let's get some barbecue!" Lu Fan walked towards the barbecue stall. Liu Ruyan and Shen Xinyi immediately followed.
At the barbecue stall, the three ordered skewers and two cases of beer. They ate, drank, and chatted happily. Before they knew it, it was late into the night.
It was already late, and there were no cars around. The three of them had also been drinking. Finally, the owner of the barbecue stall helped Lu Fan find a three-wheeled taxi. Carrying the cage of snakes, he returned to the village committee with Liu Ruyan. The usual ten-yuan fare was paid as fifty yuan to the driver, and the taxi left.
"Lu Fan! It's so late, don't go back." Seeing Lu Fan about to leave, Liu Ruyan, with a slightly flushed face, pulled him back and said.
"Okay!" Lu Fan's heart immediately pounded like a drum. The spark ignited by Shen Xinyi on the motorcycle seemed to have met gasoline, exploding into flames.
Entering Liu Ruyan's dormitory, their breathing suddenly became rapid. Liu Ruyan threw herself into Lu Fan's arms.
*Whoosh...* Lu Fan's inner power erupted. He scooped Liu Ruyan into his arms, and they instantly tumbled onto the bed.
...
The next morning, when Lu Fan opened his eyes, he saw Liu Ruyan curled up in his arms, breathing evenly, her face filled with happiness.
Looking at Liu Ruyan's smooth body, Lu Fan's heart stirred again. *Whoosh...* Lu Fan exhaled sharply. What had he done?! Alcohol really caused trouble! He...
He placed a small bottle next to Liu Ruyan; it contained the spiritual liquid he had collected over the past two days. The previous gem had indeed refilled the spirit gathering bottle with a bottle of spiritual liquid. He only trusted Liu Ruyan with these things.
Gently, he extricated himself from the covers, put on his clothes, and slipped out of Liu Ruyan's dormitory. Picking up the snake cage, he made a hasty escape.
On the back mountain, Lu Fan released the cage of snakes into the pine forest. It was a hidden spot, and the snakes would not frighten people working on the slopes. Moreover, villagers would not come to the back of the mountain without his permission.
Regarding their private indulgence with Liu Ruyan, Lu Fan felt both joy and regret. He had always prioritized his career, but he hadn't expected to be so undisciplined and unable to control his lower body.
However, last night... that feeling was truly wonderful, soft and fragrant in his embrace...
*Whoosh...* Cultivate! Cultivate! Lu Fan tried hard to control himself and not think about it, beginning to practice the Shen Nong Health Preservation Art.
Huh? What's going on?
Suddenly, as Lu Fan closed his eyes, he seemed to see... the surging energy within his body. Internal vision? Could this be the legendary internal vision?
Lu Fan was filled with surprise and joy. He closed his eyes again and continued cultivating. Indeed, he could see the surging energy within his body, like a rushing river. At his dantian, a fist-sized vortex was spinning, and the surging energy began and returned from this point.
His meridians were like smooth, wide thoroughfares. As the energy surged through them, these pathways became even smoother and wider.
After Lu Fan left, Liu Ruyan slowly opened her eyes. Seeing Lu Fan sneak away like a thief, she smiled faintly. She got up gently, put on her clothes, carefully collected a bright red peach blossom from beneath her, and then sat cross-legged to practice her cultivation.
Instantly, Liu Ruyan's face showed a look of joy. She seemed to have improved significantly. What was happening? Could it really be because she had slept with a fool? A blush rose on Liu Ruyan's face.
After cultivating, Lu Fan returned from the back mountain and, without waiting for Liu Ruyan or the others to arrive, rode his motorcycle away. Today, he was going to the provincial capital, to the medical college.
Riding a motorcycle in the early morning was truly exhilarating. They said riding a motorcycle was like catching the wind, and it really was. His entire face felt like it was being flattened by the wind. He regretted having a very short haircut; if his hair were longer, would it be like a wild horse breaking free?
"Hey! Pull over... I'm talking to you! Pull over and stop!" Suddenly, a traffic police officer ahead waved at Lu Fan and shouted.
Lu Fan quickly pulled over.
"Kid! Is your helmet just for decoration? Where's your driver's license? Let me see it!" the police officer said sternly.
Lu Fan quickly took down the helmet hanging in front of him and grinned as he put it on: "Brother! I just got out of bed and wanted to feel the wind to wake myself up. See, I've put it on now! Hehe!"
"Kid! This is a fast road ahead. You can feel the wind others have felt, but don't embrace it. You can walk the paths others have walked, but it's best not to meet. Safety first! Go on, go on!" The police officer lectured him proudly and waved him away.
"Alright! Thank you, brother! I'll be careful!" Lu Fan said, then rode off on his motorcycle.
"Hehe! These two sentences I just learned to lecture people are quite impressive, aren't they! Haha!" The police officer puffed out his chest proudly, but then suddenly remembered something: "Huh!? I seem to have forgotten something? Hey... I haven't even seen your driver's license..."
"Damn it! I was too busy showing off and forgot to check the kid's license!" The police officer watched Lu Fan's motorcycle disappear into the distance and couldn't help but mutter.
Upon arriving at the provincial medical college, the students were preparing for class. Lu Fan parked his motorcycle under the administration building and went upstairs.
Coincidentally, a beautiful woman wearing a light blue dress and gold-rimmed glasses was also walking upstairs.
Wow! Is she a teacher at the college? Why haven't I seen such a beautiful teacher before! Lu Fan exclaimed in admiration.
"What are you looking at? Look again, and I'll gouge your eyes out!" the beautiful woman suddenly glared at Lu Fan disdainfully.
"What the heck! So fierce?"
