Chapter 970 - 931: Breath-holding Technique

Miss Lili looked at Zhao Rong and spoke up for the assistant, saying:

"Brother Zhao Rong, although the role of the assistant in our team is mainly just a sidekick,

and sometimes he’s completely useless, even causing trouble...

but now he’s about to die, and not only do you not save his life, you even hurt him physically. Brother Zhao Rong, I think what you’ve done is really a bit too much..."

Lady Yu Lan felt very sympathetic for the assistant and said to Zhao Rong:

"Brother Zhao Rong, when you decided to take us three ladies to venture into the world,

the assistant has always been your trustworthy helper,

and along the way, he has worked hard even if not well... Now, when the assistant is facing life and death, you even slapped him in the face... Brother Zhao Rong, you really should reflect on whether what you just did was right..."

Lady Xuelian stepped forward, blocked in front of the assistant, and said to Zhao Rong:

"Brother Zhao Rong, no matter what, we need to revive the assistant now,

otherwise, there’s no reason for our team to exist anymore..."

Just then, as the three ladies were very sympathetic to the assistant and didn’t understand Zhao Rong,

the assistant suddenly got up from the ground, grinning, and said:

"Sorry, I was just pretending earlier, didn’t expect that Brother Zhao Rong saw through it..."

And when the three ladies saw the assistant who was just on the brink of death,

now suddenly standing up and energized, bouncing around,

they were so shocked that they fell to the ground.

Miss Lili said confusedly, as she climbed up from the ground:

"Assistant, weren’t you coughing up blood just now?

How are you suddenly alive again?"

Zhao Rong pointed at the assistant’s mouth and said to Miss Lili:

"Miss Lili, don’t be fooled by external appearances,

although the assistant was coughing up blood earlier,

but that blood wasn’t from his internal organs, it was fresh blood from a cut in his mouth due to a mouth ulcer..."

Upon hearing this, Miss Lili gasped, stepped forward, and slapped the assistant on the face, saying:

"Assistant, we’re facing the river monster right now, it’s a life-and-death moment,

but instead of fighting with Brother Zhao Rong, you were pretending, are you out of your mind..."

Lady Yu Lan stepped forward, looked at the assistant, and recalled how she had felt the assistant’s carotid pulse earlier, noting a very weak pulse:

"Brother Zhao Rong, just now, I clearly felt the assistant’s pulse, his heartbeat was very weak,

and he could have died suddenly at any moment, why is he suddenly alive now?

Looking at him, he’s full of color and in a very good mental state,

clearly, his heart is very strong..."

Zhao Rong explained to Lady Yu Lan:

"Lady Yu Lan, didn’t you notice, the assistant knows the Breath-holding Technique too..."

When Lady Yu Lan heard that the assistant also knew the Breath-holding Technique,

she wanted to kick him, saying:

"Assistant, the Breath-holding Technique is for self-rescue, not for deceiving team members and pretending... Since you weren’t injured and your body is fine, then pick up your weapon now and join our team, let’s tackle this river monster together..."

Meanwhile, Lady Xuelian was putting a pacemaker back in her bag and said to the assistant:

"Assistant, explain to me why you were pretending before?"

The assistant scratched his head awkwardly and explained:

"Because I found that if the river monster attacks humans,

we just need to lie on the ground and stay still, using the Breath-holding Technique to pretend we’re near death,

then this river monster won’t detect us..."

Upon hearing the assistant’s words, Zhao Rong immediately felt inspired and said:

"Since both the chairman and the assistant pretended in front of this river monster just now and avoided disaster... I think I’ve found a way to deal with this river monster..."

When the three ladies heard that Zhao Rong had found a way to tackle the river monster,

they quickly asked:

"Brother Zhao Rong, are you going to teach us three ladies the Breath-holding Technique?"

Miss Lili felt the Breath-holding Technique was hard to learn and said:

"Brother Zhao Rong, to be honest, if you teach me the Descending Dragon Eighteen Palms, maybe I can learn it,

but if you teach me the Breath-holding Technique, I wouldn’t be able to master it in a short time,

because I’ve had small lung capacity since I was little and can’t hold my breath for more than two minutes..."

Lady Yu Lan felt even more unable to learn the Breath-holding Technique and said:

"Anyone learning it needs a lot of lung capacity,

and be able to hold their breath,

but as Lady Yu Lan, I’m naturally unable to hold my breath,

if I try to learn it, I’d definitely give up halfway..."

Lady Xuelian also felt it was very difficult and said:

"Brother Zhao Rong, we don’t have much time left,

if you teach us the Breath-holding Technique,

we, as three ladies, won’t have time to master it before being eaten by the river monster..."

Before the three ladies could finish, Zhao Rong pointed to the falling package in the sky and said:

"Miss Lili, Lady Yu Lan, Lady Xuelian, don’t worry, I won’t teach you the Breath-holding Technique,

I’ll give you an elixir, and once you take it, you’ll quickly master the technique..."

Upon hearing that Brother Zhao Rong had bought an elixir from the shopping cart for them,

they were thrilled, saying:

"Brother Zhao Rong, you’re clever, it’s much better to take an elixir than practice, straight to the point is best..."

Miss Lili dashed forward, grabbed the package, quickly opened it, took out a bottle of pills, and said to ladies Yu Lan and Xuelian behind:

"Ladies, come quickly, let’s open this bottle of pills and each take one, we’ll possess the Breath-holding Technique, this peerless martial arts skill..."

Lady Xuelian anticipated greatly and said:

"I never thought that someone with poor talent in martial arts like me could also possess the Breath-holding Technique..."

But just as the three ladies were eagerly anticipating,

Miss Lili opened the bottle, only to see it was full of black crawling bugs, and she felt horrified, saying:

"Brother Zhao Rong, you said there were pills inside,

why, when we opened it, there are so many black crawling bugs..."

When Lady Yu Lan heard that the medicine Brother Zhao Rong bought from the Paradise Shopping Cart was actually filled with wriggling black bugs,

she rushed over, looking at the creepy bugs, said to Zhao Rong:

"Brother, why did you buy so many black bugs from the Paradise Shopping Cart?

If these bugs are eaten, wouldn’t they chew through our intestines..."

Lady Xuelian couldn’t dare eat the black bugs, said:

"Brother Zhao Rong, even if eating these bugs would grant great martial powers, I can’t dare eat them,

because these look exactly like maggots..."

At this time, Zhao Rong stepped forward and said with a smile to everyone:

"Miss Lili, Lady Yu Lan, Lady Xuelian, assistant, chairman, don’t be afraid, I’ll show you how to eat these bugs and acquire the Breath-holding Technique..."
