"Oh, yes, that's right. Your body refining technique must be the Minotaur's technique. You can't run away either."
Xiao Hua was happy when he saw Huang Ming worried.
He didn't know whether Huang Ming's "Prison-Suppressing Ming King Jue" belonged to the Minotaur, but he wanted to drag Huang Ming into the water, so that he would not be the only one to be frightened and have to find a companion no matter what.
"Damn it, no matter what, the minotaur's body was destroyed anyway and won't be able to recover in a few decades. I'm not worried. We just need to seize the time to practice."
Huang Ming began to comfort himself.
"Hurry up and practice? Brother, although we have acquired spiritual roots and there is no cultivation bottleneck, it will become more difficult to practice in the later stages."
"Even if we practice for a few more decades, we will only be in the middle or late stages of Golden Elixir at most, but that Minotaur seems to be at the level of a venerable. Once he recovers, we will definitely be doomed."
"Sister, what do you think we should do? Instead of being suspicious and frightened here, we should think more about how to increase our mana quickly."
Huang Ming was flustered by Xiao Hua's remarks, and became a little angry from embarrassment.
"Hehehe, what are you afraid of? Didn't you say it? It's a blessing, not a disaster, and we can't avoid it, so let's seize the time to practice hard, and we'll talk about it then."
"Oh, by the way, don't say I don't take care of you. This is the foundation-building elixir I refined in Lingshan. I don't need it now, so I'll give it all to you."
Xiao Hua said as he took out four or five bottles of pills from his storage bracelet.
"Yeah, let's be practical. Why talk so much?"
Huang Ming smiled and put away the elixir.
"Liangdan, let me tell you, you have formed a pill now, what are your next plans?".
"I don't have any special plans. I just want to refine a natal magic weapon first and then continue practicing. It's just that I still need some materials to refine the natal magic weapon. I estimate that I will have to travel far away in a few days."
"Are you going on a long trip again?"
"Uh..., how about it be the same as last time? While you are looking for materials, help me collect some. Anyway, I will have to refine my natal magic weapon sooner or later, so I will be prepared."
Huang Ming became shameless again.
"I said Huang Ming, are you shameless? Every time I go out to look for you, you just guard this hot pot restaurant. I said, can't you put down these mundane things and practice meditation?"
Xiao Hua rolled his eyes at Huang Ming.
"I'm different from you. Who told you to practice faster than me? He who can do it should work harder."
Huang Ming continued to be shameless.
At this moment, a delicate voice suddenly came from outside the office door.
"Who can do more work? Is it Lao Ming? Or Liang Dan?".
Immediately afterwards, a beautiful woman with almond-shaped eyes, willow eyebrows like crescent moons, red lips rouged, white powder on her face, and big gold earrings flashed in from outside the office.
"Hey, Xiaoya, why are you here? I have reserved a private room for you, what? Your friends haven't arrived yet?"
Huang Ming quickly answered.
This little girl's name is Cheng Nian'er, a primary school classmate of Huang Ming and Yang Xukuan, and a small shareholder of the hot pot restaurant.
She has always had a good relationship with Huang Ming and Yang Xukuan since they were in school, and they often get together after they start working.
Later, Cheng Nian'er changed jobs and didn't have much free time, so the contact with the few people was relatively less. However, Cheng Nian'er was definitely one of Huang Ming's friends, so it was natural that Huang Ming would open a hotpot restaurant without her.
"I said Liangdan, have you gone somewhere to make a fortune recently? Why do I feel like I haven't seen you for several years? Have you become rich and don't recognize people like us anymore?".
Cheng Nian'er was famous among their group of friends for being thoughtful and sharp-tongued. He never used curse words in his words but used insults in every word, which made people very irritated and difficult to get angry.
Of course, this was for outsiders. Cheng Nian'er was quite loyal and friendly to his friends, and at best his words were a bit damaging.
"How can I make a fortune? I have been working day and night for three years, but my boss ran away when it was time to pay my wages. I came back without even receiving my wages. Do you think I am miserable?"
Silver immediately started talking nonsense.
He didn't dare to mention anything about immortal cultivators to Cheng Nian'er. Once he mentioned it, he would definitely be questioned, and Cheng Nian'er would eventually say that he was crazy.
Cheng Nian'er didn't believe Xiao Hua's words at all, and continued to make up Xiao Hua's words.
"Buimai, that's too miserable. I've worked hard for several years but can't even get paid. But Liangdan, why do you want to take the money and run away?"
"Ah, where can I take the money and run away? I am a small worker, okay, and the boss is the one who runs away."
"Editor, go ahead and make up, which boss with no foresight dares to use a small worker like you? Even you are not the boss, who dares to say that you are the boss? Tell me this, hum!".
Cheng Nian'er gave Xiao Hua a roll of his eyes, pulled up a chair and sat next to Huang Ming, and took out a cigarette.
"Xiaoya, did you hide here to smoke?"
Huang Ming asked.
"What do you mean by hiding? I just don't want to smoke in front of my customers. What, you don't welcome me if I come here?"
Cheng Nian'er frowned, slapped the cigarette on the table, and glared at Huang Ming.
"How dare I? Welcome, welcome, absolutely welcome. If anyone doesn't welcome, I'll bully him, right Liangdan?"
Huang Ming was also a little afraid of Cheng Nian'er, so he dragged Xiao Hua in as he spoke.
"Yes, yes, yes, Huang Ming is right. We will bully anyone who dares not to welcome you. By the way, Xiaoya, are you hosting a banquet for clients or a gathering of friends today? Do we know those people?"
Xiao Hua quickly changed the topic.
"The client I invited today is unknown to you."
Cheng Nian'er said as he handed Huang Ming and Xiao Hua a cigarette each.
"Since you are a customer, I will give you some dishes later, and I will make sure that you will be honored."
"Nonsense, that's necessary. If you don't have face to treat guests in your own store, what's the point? Then I'll thank Boss Han here first."
Cheng Nian'er was polite to Huang Ming on purpose.
"Boss Han, you are the boss. You are not only the boss but also the sister-in-law. If one day Guo Jun gets angry if he doesn't serve you well, then we will be in trouble, right Liang Dan?"
Huang Ming never forgets to take Xiao Hua with him every time he finishes speaking.
"Yes, yes, yes, yes."
Xiao Hua didn't know how to answer it, so he answered smoothly.
"Sister-in-law, Guo Jun is a workaholic. He only cares about work and never cares about his family. I have to go to work and take care of the children by myself. It's really, ugh..."
Cheng Nian'er actually felt a little emotional when he said this.
"You can't have your cake and eat it too. Guo Jun is a civil servant, so he naturally puts his work first. If he really spends all day at home doing housework and taking care of his children, you should be more open-minded."
Huang Ming comforted him.
"Tch, it's hard to explain to an unmarried man like you. If you don't understand, Xiao Hua should understand. No, he doesn't understand either."
"Okay, I won't tell you anymore. The guests I invited should be arriving soon. I'll pick them up. If you are free later, come down and have a drink. Just use it as a promotion for the hot pot restaurant."
After speaking, Cheng Nian'er pinched half of the cigarette in his hand into the ashtray, stood up and left the office.
