Chapter 200: What others discard is what you dream of
"It seems that you have found a method, and the results are quite good. Now you are starting to behave like a martial artist."
Du Ruo had just noticed the changes in Long Zhirou when she walked over.
In fact, practicing martial arts involves more than just changing the strength, that is, changing the force of muscles to the force of tendons and bones, but also many subconscious habits.
For example, Du Ruo would subconsciously extend one foot out first when walking, and then lift the other foot after it landed. It is somewhat similar to the small square step, but not so obvious, and is closer to the Bagua mud-wading step.
What stands out is the word "stable".
When Long Zhirou walked in the past, she was actually similar to a dancer. She paid great attention to her body posture and walked lightly. Her posture was indeed very beautiful, but it looked a little floating.
This is actually inconsistent with traditional martial arts concepts, but just now when Long Zhirou was walking, she even stood directly in front of Du Ruo.
The opponents all subconsciously let their breath sink, and they looked a lot calmer. This was a Tai Chi performance, just like the "thousand-pound weight" that Du Ruo often used. Only when the breath sinks can the lower body be more stable, and the Tai Chi strength can be better used, so that one's own strength is no longer rootless.
"Did your sister just arrive today? Have you eaten yet?"
Xiang Yuanyuan was no longer on guard against Long Zhirou this time and took the initiative to ask.
"We ate it."
Long Zhirou smiled and nodded, completely forgetting that they had just put away their luggage and wanted to find something to eat and see if Du Ruo was at home. At this moment, her mind was full of the figure in the nanny car.
"Boss Du, Sister Yuanyuan, was that Wu Jing just now?"
Long Zhirou couldn't wait to know the answer and didn't bother with too much small talk. She just walked into the room and started asking questions before she even reached the coffee table.
"Well, it's him."
Du Ruo answered casually. He didn't think there was anything to be proud of knowing Wu Jing. Only others felt proud of knowing him.
"Hey, Wu Jing came here this morning and just left after dinner. He came here specifically to invite Brother Du to play a villain in his new movie, but Brother Du refused."
Xiang Yuanyuan on the side was not so calm. Although her star halo had been shattered, it did not prevent her from knowing the appeal of stars to ordinary people. Moreover, this kind of thing could highlight Du Ruo's strength, which was of course worthy of her excitement and pride.
At this time, Long Zhirou's mind was already occupied by the words "active invitation", "new movie role", and "rejected". With her mouth slightly open, she looked at Du Ruo in a daze.
There are always some people and some things that you work hard for but cannot get, and are discarded by others.
At the moment of being confirmed, Long Zhirou was confused. At this moment, she no longer had the enthusiasm to study as before. Only an urge to cry was lingering in her heart.
"Sister, sister? What's wrong with you?"
When Xiang Yuanyuan saw Long Zhirou's expression, she couldn't help but shout a few words.
"Ah, ah? It's nothing. I just remembered that I still have something cooking on the stove. I have to go back and take a look. I'll come back to see my sister later."
Long Zhirou was already somewhat incoherent. She suppressed all the emotions in her heart, forced a smile, then walked out in a panic with her assistant.
"?"
Xiang Yuanyuan was a little confused about why Long Zhirou did that, but she didn't ask any more questions and just followed him to send Long Zhirou out.
Only Du Ruo had just felt Long Zhirou's disordered breathing and the fact that her energy and spirit seemed to be drained away, and he immediately understood the key.
But he said nothing and did nothing. He and Long Zhirou just met by chance. Why should he help others?
For Du Ruo to be where he is today and to be able to chat and laugh with celebrities, isn’t it all due to his hard work?
……
In the following days, Du Ruo maintained a peaceful life and made a little progress every day. The progress of the Three Flowers and Five Qi was very slow, but his spirit was steadily improving.
In the morning, Xiang Yuanyuan and I went to the mountain to practice martial arts. The two little clouded leopards were fed by us until they were plump and round. At noon, Xiang Yuanyuan and I cooked some food together. In the afternoon, we went to the B&B for a walk.
However, the B&B is now in the off-season and business is average. Even Yang Ling has a lot less time and has more time to take care of her mother at home.
As for the pub, Xiang Yuanyuan has never worried about the business because he won't lose money anyway.
Of course Xiang Yuanyuan did not forget to go to the river to fish regularly.
As for dinner, the two of them would run home every few days, eating and taking things. Anyway, whenever my mother saw Yuanyuan, she would always smile and give her whatever she wanted.
Of course, Du Ruo would go back to the yard of the rented B&B to sleep. Before going to bed, he would practice with Xiang Yuanyuan for an hour.
Du Ruo discovered that although the daily use of gas to manipulate the circulation within the circular body consumed a lot of energy, requiring a large amount of medicinal wine to replenish it every day, it was not entirely without disadvantages and still had many benefits.
The biggest benefit is that Du Ruo's control over the red mist has become stronger, which can make other boxing techniques except the tiger form more condensed and make the boxing effects more powerful.
Of course, this is only one aspect. The greater impact is the Panlong Silk. Du Ruo now has stronger control over the Panlong Silk.
At first, he could only barely control the dragon's tail to change direction.
However, with every transformation of Duruo's spirit, his controllability becomes stronger.
Until now, as long as Du Ruo attaches enough "qi" to the Panlong Silk, he can even make the Panlong Silk circle around Du Ruo. Such maneuverability is huge for its lethality.
With such operability, Panlong Silk is no longer a useless weapon. In terms of assassination, coupled with the improvement in close range, it is definitely a breakthrough.
It can be said that within a radius of twenty meters, Du Ruo is not afraid of anyone. Uh... modern weapons need to be reconsidered. Of course, Du Ruo was not stupid at that time.
Even if he couldn't win, it would be easy for Du Ruo to escape. With his spiritual perception, it would be almost impossible for anyone to completely trap him to death.
If it's a nuclear bomb, just pretend he didn't say anything. However, Du Ruo believes that as long as he keeps improving, even if he can't withstand a nuclear bomb at that time, as long as he runs fast enough, the nuclear bomb won't be able to catch up with him.
And Long Zhirou seemed to have recovered soon after being hit by Du Ruo.
Afterwards, he extended his stay in the room and came to Du Ruo whenever he had time, either to ask for advice or to chat with Xiang Yuanyuan.
In short, he just didn't leave. Of course, he was still shooting videos and occasionally even interacted with Xiang Yuanyuan.
Of course Du Ruo knew the other party's purpose, but even though he had tried to persuade her many times, she just smiled every time, so Du Ruo didn't say anything.
However, sometimes, when Long Zhirou came to ask about some matters regarding martial arts, if he was in a good mood, he would give her a few more pointers. Apart from anything else, the other party who booked a room in his B&B could be considered his client.
But the most noteworthy thing is that Xiang Yuanyuan has started living with Du Ruo, and the second floor of the tavern is completely empty.
On this day, Du Ruo and Xiang Yuanyuan were coming down from the mountain, talking about the short-tailed macaque they saw today. They harvested a fruit but did not bring any gifts back.
In fact, the whereabouts of macaques are a bit erratic and it takes a long time to see them.
"Drip~"
Just as the two were walking towards the yard, a car drove over and two short honks were blasted.
"Ah, Qiqi~~"
Xiang Yuanyuan turned around and saw that it was Li Qiyao's car. She was immediately surprised and ran over happily.
"Hey~ You still remember me? I thought you guys were so affectionate with each other that you forgot about me a long time ago."
After parking the car, Li Qiyao looked at Xiang Yuanyuan and said something with some jealousy, then got out of the car. They had agreed to be single together, but Xiang Yuanyuan is now living a sweet life with her.
Seeing her sisters living happily was more painful for her than seeing them break up.
"How could that be? I was worried that you would be busy at the beginning of the new semester. Where's your cousin? Why didn't she come?"
Xiang Yuanyuan grabbed Li Qiyao's arm in a coquettish manner and tried to change the subject.
"She is in the hospital taking care of her husband."
Li Qiyao couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth when she thought of her cousin. Du Ruo's grappling skills were not taught in vain. Her cousin could even be considered a martial arts genius, having developed many new uses, and her brother-in-law was about to become a VIP of the hospital.
"That's a shame. Qiqi, you came just in time. Let's go hiking tomorrow. I tell you, I've been very good recently and I've been practicing martial arts every day."
Xiang Yuanyuan was very excited when she saw Li Qiyao. She pulled Li Qiyao towards the small courtyard they rented, while Du Ruo followed behind with Li Qiyao's luggage.
Seeing Xiang Yuanyuan taking her towards Du Ruo's yard, Li Qiyao seemed to have thought of something. She couldn't help but look back at Du Ruo and immediately realized that the two were already living together.
He sighed inwardly, and then chatted with Xiang Yuanyuan as if nothing had happened.
Yuanyuan was naturally happy about Li Qiyao's arrival, but there was no special change in her life, at least for Du Ruo, everything remained the same.
Perhaps the only change is that the movements of the two at night are not as intense as before, but of course more exciting.
The next day, Xiang Yuanyuan went to climb Mount Huangshan with Li Qiyao early in the morning. Du Ruo did not go with them. He always felt that Li Qiyao looked at him with something strange in the eyes after getting up in the morning.
Xiang Yuanyuan did not delay her morning practice, she just did not go to the mountain. She and Li Qiyao rode their electric bikes to climb Mount Huangshan before 7:30 in the morning.
Du Ruo had a rare chance to relax and was too lazy to go up the mountain alone. After practicing some boxing, Du Ruo sat in the yard, studying and drinking tea.
At the same time, I was planning in my mind which form of Xingyiquan to consider next.
"Ok?"
Suddenly, Du Ruo felt that someone was staring at him, and it should not be an ordinary person. This was something Du Ruo had never experienced from anyone else.
When he looked up, he saw a man and a woman outside the yard staring at him, then slowly walking towards him.
Du Ruo only took a glance at the two of them and knew each other's identities.
