Chapter 9, Task

Picking up the chopsticks beside her, Shi Lan eagerly picked up a piece of meat and brought it to her mouth. The meat was tender and melted in her mouth, making it almost impossible to stop.

Just as he got up, he didn't feel it yet, but upon catching a whiff of this aroma, Shi Lan could only feel the hunger in his stomach surging continuously

There are a total of eight individuals, among whom seven are robust and muscular men, each adorned with various weapons at their waists. The last one is a young man with a delicate appearance, who appears somewhat out of place among the group of strong men

Shi Tianlu waved his hand and said, "The guard team will be arranged as usual"

Today, while examining the young lady's pulse, I discovered that her innate talent and potential far exceed that of ordinary individuals, and it would not be an exaggeration to call her a genius

Due to the host's overexertion of physical strength, the excessive contraction of the body's muscles leads to vascular spasms, resulting in pain caused by anemia and hypoxia in certain areas of the host's body.

In addition to giving up cultivation, there are three alternative options to avoid it

Upon reaching the innate realm, the internal energy forms a self-sustaining cycle, controlled by the mind, thus eliminating the need to regulate the body through menstrual cycles.

The somewhat unconventional young man was standing beside her, holding the handle of an umbrella.

To alleviate the condition, one can block the acupoints of the waterway and Guanyuan, thereby cutting off two meridians. However, this may lead to an imbalance of internal energy, which is detrimental to cultivation

What could have led to such scrutiny

Shi Lan's expression darkened, and she paused with the chopsticks in her hand, no longer speaking, silently consuming the medicinal cuisine

Shi Lan did not think much, simply waved his hand to signal the guard team to follow, and then raised his leg, somewhat laboriously stepping over the several-foot-high threshold, eagerly walking out of the Shi residence

The sky was still dark, and Shi Lan had the intention to practice the Diamond Fist once more. However, she had developed some psychological shadows regarding the pain she had experienced earlier. She couldn't help but silently ask, "System, is it possible to avoid the pain... that kind of pain from just now?"

After contemplating for a while, Shi Lan gritted her teeth and walked out of the room, being somewhat mindful of her limits. If she did not exhaust herself as she had previously, it should not pose a significant problem

After practicing the martial arts, please have a martial artist of at least the innate realm use their true energy as a host to regulate their internal breath and promote blood circulation

As the medicinal cuisine entered her stomach, Shi Lan felt a warmth spreading throughout her body, her energy abundant and her spirit invigorated, as if she possessed an inexhaustible strength

Shi Feng opened his mouth but ultimately fell silent. He had been Shi Lan's secret guard for five years, and he could be said to be well aware of Shi Lan's temperament.

Dear Young Master, the weather is hot, please be careful of sunburn

To pursue a long-term path in martial arts, the essential element is a resilient character. In this regard, Shi Lan is absolutely lacking.

From her memory, the original Shilan should not have engaged in any ostentatious or overbearing actions that oppressed the common people

Shi Tianlu shook his head and sighed: "With A Lan's gentle disposition, no matter how high her talent, she cannot become a significant force. Moreover, A Lan is now nearly twenty years old, and to think of practicing martial arts at this point is to have missed the best opportunity; it is too late."

As she indulged in her meal, Shi Lan began to ponder the reason behind the sudden pain she had just experienced from the system in her heart

Shortly after Shi Lan and the others left, Zi Que emerged holding a sunshade, following them from a distance

Task Release: There is a lack of current world information. Explore the current map of 'Tenglong City' within a limited time of three hours. Task completion reward: Increase in one level of power. No penalties for task failure.

Knock knock ... ...

After waiting at the entrance of the Stone Mansion for nearly a quarter of an hour, Shi Lan finally saw his escort team

The young man seemed a bit nervous; after handing the umbrella handle to Shi Lan, he returned to the end of the line once again

Shi Tianlu was momentarily taken aback, but soon understood Shi Feng's intention. He pointed at the attendant and said, "Then follow him and be incorporated into the guard team"

Shi Lan raised her sleeve to wipe the sweat from her forehead, looked around, and was contemplating finding a place to rest when she suddenly felt a shadow fall over her. She looked up and saw a sunshade umbrella had been placed above her head.

That bowl of poultry, Shi Lan left not a drop of soup, drinking it all clean, while the other bowl of thick soup also completely disappeared into her stomach

Tenglong City spans several dozen miles in circumference; it is neither particularly large nor particularly small. To explore it thoroughly would indeed require a considerable amount of time

But where does this disgust come from

Shi Lan let out a light sigh, feeling a bit of a headache. None of the suggestions provided by the system were suitable for her, yet she had to practice this boxing technique. The system had only given her three days in total, and more than half of the first day had already passed.

Dysmenorrhea

Shi Lan brought the food box into the room and sat down at the desk

Yes, and the style of martial arts practiced by the young lady bears some resemblance to Zen Buddhism. Shi Feng's expression was also somewhat perplexed, as Shi Lan had previously shown no interest in martial arts, even going so far as to avoid it.

"Did you say that Alan has started practicing martial arts?" Shi Tianlu asked with a puzzled expression

... ...

Could you explain it a bit more clearly? I don't quite understand. Shi Lan found it somewhat difficult to comprehend.

Shilan originally intended to go out alone, but the guard at the door stubbornly refused to let him pass, insisting on waiting for the arrival of the escort team before proceeding

As Shi Lan just assumed her stance, before she could even begin to throw a punch, the Celestial Reincarnation System panel, which she had completely forgotten about, suddenly opened, with the task section flashing rapidly.

A servant pushed the door open and clasped his hands, saying: "Master, the eldest son wishes to leave the residence"

Come in

Zen Buddhism ... ... '' Shitian Road's expression was pensive, as if deep in thought

... ...

Inside the food box, there are two porcelain bowls, one large and one small. The large bowl contains a stewed bird, though Shi Lan cannot identify the specific species. The small bowl holds a shallow green thick soup

If a task can be accomplished easily, why bother to practice martial arts with great difficulty? Laziness is human nature

"Master, I wish to leave the residence with the young master," said Shifeng, who was standing nearby, addressing Tushu.

The study fell silent for a moment

As the weather has entered May, the sunlight has begun to show a hint of intensity. Not long after stepping out of the Stone Manor, Shi Lan was already sweating lightly under the high sun.

Some women have physiological knowledge that Shi Lan does not fully understand. Engaging in intense physical activity during menstruation can easily trigger dysmenorrhea, not to mention that what she is doing is far more exaggerated than intense exercise

With the sunshade, Shi Lan felt much more relaxed, and before she knew it, she had walked for more than half an hour, covering a small part of Tenglong City.

Fear is understandable, after all, she is the legitimate eldest child of the Shi family, and her status in this Tenglong City can be said to be extraordinary

A sudden knock on the door shattered the tranquility

Shi Lan was momentarily taken aback, but soon without hesitation, she retracted her stance and walked towards the main gate of the Shi residence

Having eaten and drunk to satisfaction, Shi Lan glanced at the sky; it was just past noon, and the afternoon had only just begun

As soon as she opened the food box, a rich aroma surged into her nostrils, beginning to stimulate her senses

Moreover, all the bones of this bird have been expertly removed by humans using highly skilled knife techniques, making it extremely easy to eat

Throughout this journey, Shi Lan discovered something that puzzled her: the common people she encountered along the way looked at her with a mixture of fear and a hint of disdain in their eyes
