My Arms Can Turn into Blades-Chapter 257 - 187: Water

On that day.

Luo Mountain headed to the Celestial Strategy Mansion Headquarters.

But he did not see Ji Xin, nor did he see Chen Lusi, only seeing Li Zheng.

Luo Mountain nearly grabbed Li Zheng by the collar, asking where Chen Lusi was.

... Visibly excited.

However, Li Zheng didn't answer his question, only telling him to hurry up and prepare weapons and stones.

This almost drove Luo Mountain crazy. If he hadn't watched the video, it'd be fine, but having seen the video, being told to stay calm and wait is just the ultimate torture!

Yet, Li Zheng was ruthless, merely explaining that the weapons were damaged now, and bringing Chen Lusi over would be to no avail, which ended the conversation.

Luo Mountain had no choice but to suppress his curiosity and urge to find Chen Lusi directly, and returned to Kunlun, planning to personally oversee the production of weapons on his side first!

Up to this point.

The two departments of Celestial Strategy and Kunlun began operating at high speed, progressing towards the same goal.

Yet, the protagonist of the whole event was still completely unaware of this...

In the evening.

Chen Lusi, together with Shu Li and Xia Panqiu, left the Gourd.

As for the piece of sheepskin paper, it was still in Chen Lusi's hand.

But this time there was nothing he could do about it. After all, they weren't from the same system... He had tried to activate the sheepskin paper or recite the scripture, but to no avail.

However, Zhou Jian wasn't disappointed; rather, he even asked him to take the sheepskin paper back, saying that he couldn't use it anyway, so Chen Lusi might as well try to extract some value from it.

Actually, Chen Lusi was quite interested in the system of releasing techniques through sheepskin paper, so he agreed to take the sheepskin paper back.

"...Why not try tossing it ahead? Maybe it'll ignite?"

Just after leaving the Gourd.

Perhaps noticing that Chen Lusi's attention was constantly on the sheepskin paper,

Shu Li, always beside Chen Lusi, suddenly came up with a nutty idea.

And Chen Lusi, upon hearing it, actually found it somewhat reasonable in that moment, so he tossed the sheepskin paper out and silently recited the scripture written on it.

Whoosh—

But unfortunately.

The sheepskin paper had no reaction, merely spinning in the air and then fluttering to the ground.

It didn't ignite, nor did anything unusual happen.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward.

At this moment.

Shu Li grabbed Chen Lusi's clothing, whether to comfort or provoke him, saying, "It must be the wrong method! You definitely can do it!"

Chen Lusi was silent for a moment, ignoring her, and bent to pick up the sheepskin paper from the ground.

When he lifted his head, he saw a pair of slender, tight calves wrapped in smooth stockings and dark, small heels before him.

Looking further up, he saw Si Yujie, clad in black professional attire.

"What are you doing?"

Si Yujie looked down at Chen Lusi, somewhat amused.

Chen Lusi straightened up and calmly replied, "Falling for a trick."

"You..."

Si Yujie, suppressing her laughter, couldn't help but tug on Chen Lusi's ponytail, then said, "You should be glad you first met me and not that idiot Tang Language, otherwise you'd probably be stuck in a fox den now."

Chen Lusi tilted his head slightly away from her hand and replied, "I don't understand."

"It's because you don't understand that you're like this."

Si Yujie chuckled softly and tugged his ponytail again before leaving with her cup.

Chen Lusi frowned slightly, glancing back at her departing figure, then noticed Shu Li staring wide-eyed at his ponytail, her eyes filled with a sudden glow.

Chen Lusi: "..."

He turned his gaze back, shook his head, and headed for the elevator.

Shu Li closely followed.

Then, when Chen Lusi wasn't paying attention, she bounced up, about to grab his ponytail.

But before she could act, Xia Panqiu had already seized her twin ponytails, glaring at her lightly.

Shu Li turned her head, looking at Xia Panqiu with a bit of discontent.

The two began to communicate with their eyes.

Xia Panqiu held Shu Li's twin ponytails tightly, pursing her glossy red lips, refusing to let her succeed.

Though Shu Li was a bit slow, it was only for one or two times; after the fourth or fifth time, if she still couldn't figure it out, she wouldn't be a woman.

Indeed.

She finally noticed something was off, glanced at Chen Lusi and then at Xia Panqiu, revealing a contemplative expression.

Next.

She went silent.

Xia Panqiu finally let go of her twin ponytails.

The three parted ways on the first floor.

Shu Li went to the underground parking, while Chen Lusi and Xia Panqiu left the elevator, planning to walk back to the Qinyuan and Mansion.

Ding—

The elevator doors closed.

Chen Lusi glanced back at the elevator and then asked, "What were you two doing just now?"

He wasn't blind; their fuss was quite noticeable, there was no way he wouldn't have noticed.

"She wanted to grab your ponytail."

Xia Panqiu whispered, "I didn't let her."

"..."

Chen Lusi was silent for a moment, then couldn't help but curiously ask, "Is keeping long hair that odd? Why do you all have such a penchant for trying to grab it? Even though this hairstyle isn't exactly mainstream, it's not that rare, is it? And you girls have long hair too, right?"

Indeed, he was quite curious about this.

Because everyone, including the two sisters, shared this peculiar interest.

And he didn't understand what they were thinking.

"..."

Xia Panqiu thought for a moment, then glanced at Chen Lusi's profile, hesitated a bit, and explained, "I guess it might be because the way you usually act is so different from how you are when you're fighting."
