Chapter 544 Strength
Chen Yang endured the pain, persevering second by second. The continuous agony was like countless needles, constantly stimulating every cell on his body's surface. Sweat streamed down, carrying a foul, fishy odor.
After a long while, Chen Yang finally opened his eyes weakly. The pain gradually receded. He got up and looked at his bedroom, letting out a wry smile.
The bedroom floor was covered in a layer of sweat, and crucially, the sweat was foul-smelling. Chen Yang shook his head, realizing the room was uninhabitable.
He went into the bathroom to take a shower.
Just then, with a creak, the bedroom door was pushed open, and Su Ya walked in. Su Ya mumbled, "Chen Yang, did I disturb you? Oh my, what are you doing here?"
Su Ya immediately covered her nose.
The bedroom was filled with a pungent, fishy odor, and the floor was wet. Chen Yang was in the bathroom rinsing himself. Su Ya pouted and yelled towards the bathroom, "Damn it, Chen Yang, what are you doing in your room? Are you defecating anywhere?"
Su Ya walked in and pushed open the bathroom door. Inside, Chen Yang was joyfully rinsing himself with the showerhead.
Seeing this, Su Ya's face instantly turned red. She hadn't expected Chen Yang to be so fair, like a piece of jade.
Chen Yang turned and saw Su Ya, then pouted, "Hey, what are you doing? Get out, get out! Are you taking advantage of me?"
Su Ya, her face flushed, let out a chuckle and said, "You're not some handsome man, what's there to see? Besides, on the boat before, you were the one who saw me first. This is just tit for tat."
Su Ya closed the door and quickly turned to leave.
She went into the living room, her face still flushed. Thinking of Chen Yang's appearance just now, Su Ya suddenly felt even hotter.
It was already past six in the morning. Liu Ran was busy in the kitchen. Seeing Su Ya descend, Liu Ran asked, "Senior Su Ya, how is it? Does Chen Yang have time to drive us to work this morning?"
Su Ya was startled and, snapping back to reality, quickly said, "Oh, oh, oh... He... he might have time!"
Liu Ran looked at Su Ya curiously, "Huh? Senior Sister, why is your face so red? What happened? Did that Chen Yang guy bully you again?"
Su Ya quickly waved her hands, "No, no, it's just... it seems a bit hot."
Su Ya quickly turned away, unable to look at Liu Ran, feeling a bit guilty.
As the two were talking, Chen Yang came downstairs after changing into clean clothes. He said, "My bedroom needs to be cleaned. Should we hire a housekeeper?"
Su Ya immediately nodded, "Yes, yes, yes! Your room smells too bad. No wonder they say men are smelly, it's like a pigsty!"
Liu Ran stood by, smiling, "It's not that exaggerated, Senior Sister Su Ya. Don't falsely accuse Chen Yang."
Chen Yang walked over and gently hugged Liu Ran. Liu Ran, holding the spatula, froze. Her face immediately turned red. She quickly said, "Chen Yang, what's wrong?"
Chen Yang chuckled and said, "Nothing, I just feel like I haven't seen you in a long time. How's the company doing?"
Liu Ran giggled and pushed Chen Yang away, nodding, "The company is operating quite well. More and more businesses are coming to us for cooperation recently, but we've also encountered some difficulties."
Chen Yang took the spatula from Liu Ran and asked, "What difficulties?"
Liu Ran brushed her hair and said, "Our Yang Yang Yang Company has certainly gained a lot of attention before, but this kind of internet sales still requires online buzz."
"Although we've hired Director Yu Long to shoot a web drama, that web drama won't be online for at least half a year."
"During this time, we need other methods to maintain our company's popularity so that others will continue to know about Yang Yang Yang Company, be willing to cooperate with us, and buy our products."
"Therefore, recently, we are negotiating endorsement deals on one hand, and on the other hand, we are seeking ways to maintain the company's popularity. Additionally, our company's pharmaceutical research and development center is about to launch a product, which also needs a promotional push."
Chen Yang nodded, holding the spatula, and walked into the kitchen. Besides milk, bread, and baked cakes, fried eggs were also cooking in a pan.
As Chen Yang flipped the fried egg with the spatula, there was a clang. The next moment, the iron wok refined by King Kong had a hole in it. Chen Yang immediately turned off the stove. He was stunned for a moment, then looked embarrassed.
Liu Ran heard the noise and came over. Seeing that Chen Yang had actually poked a hole in the bottom of the wok, she pouted dejectedly and said angrily to Chen Yang, "Chen Yang, are you doing this on purpose? You broke our wok! Do you know this wok cost me over two hundred yuan? How can you be so strong?"
Chen Yang looked embarrassed and quickly said, "Oh, sorry, sorry, I... I haven't adapted to my body yet."
Chen Yang put down the spatula and awkwardly walked out of the villa. He went into the yard, and he could hear Su Ya and Liu Ran laughing heartily inside the house.
Neither of them expected Chen Yang to be so clumsy that he could break the bottom of the wok while cooking.
Chen Yang stood in the villa's yard, hearing the women's laughter, and felt a sense of helplessness.
He raised his hands and looked at his arms, a smile appearing on his face. This third cauldron had not strengthened his internal organs, but had instead reinforced his entire musculature and bones, granting him immense strength.
If before, Chen Yang could lift five hundred jin with just his muscle strength without using his internal energy, now, relying solely on his body's muscle power, he could easily lift two tons.
What's more, when his internal energy permeated his entire body, his current strength was four to five times greater than his previous maximum. Thus, his physical strength alone was enough to easily crush other Grandmasters.
Chen Yang clasped his hands behind his back. He needed to first adapt to the explosive power of his body, so as to avoid embarrassing incidents like breaking the iron wok again in the future.
Furthermore, the more magical the abilities brought by the cauldrons, the more Chen Yang valued them. Therefore, the most important task for the Heavenly Doctor Hall moving forward remained to search for the whereabouts of the Nine Cauldrons by any means necessary.
He already possessed four cauldrons. The remaining five should also be revealed soon, shouldn't they?
As he was thinking, his phone rang. Chen Yang picked up his phone, expecting it to be Zhuque, but it turned out to be an old acquaintance.
After connecting, the person on the other end said to Chen Yang, "Mr. Chen, do you have time? I'm having some trouble with my land in Hanwu City and need your help."
