Peerless Little Immortal Doctor

Chapter 239 A Certain Girl

A 5S level task implies a one-way trip.

However, that's just what outsiders understand.

For a King of Soldiers of Ouyang Lingtian's caliber, such a level task is merely a test and training.

As for Xia Liu, he could complete it with a bit of seriousness.

However, if it's not done well enough, leaving hidden dangers would cause trouble in the late stages.

Xia Liu briefly scanned the document, his brows gradually knitting together.

"Old man, you're not joking, right? Is there actually technology to develop this thing?"

"You know?" Fang Huasheng looked at Xia Liu in surprise; the document merely described the task's target simply.

That Xia Liu could discern the subtleties spoke volumes.

"I've studied it a bit," Xia Liu said gravely, nodding.

"Initially, we indeed couldn't develop it, but after a certain girl developed the latest technology, this task was assigned."

"A certain girl?" Xia Liu asked, puzzled.

"Right, you wouldn't want that girl to know you're back…" Fang Huasheng said with a sly smile.

"This..." Xia Liu's heart suddenly sped up, his words getting stuck in his throat, unable to utter a word.

"I understand, I just need to complete the mission, and I also hope you, old man, won't reveal any information."

After struggling to adjust his emotions, Xia Liu said sternly.

"Alright, alright, I'll reluctantly agree to your request, but you'd better do a beautiful job on this mission. If you come back empty-handed, I can't guarantee that your information will remain confidential."

"Please keep it a secret!" Xia Liu pleaded, his face somber.

What?

Ouyang Lingtian and Yi Feng both started to show confusion, watching Xia Liu and Fang Huasheng.

They couldn't understand what kind of girl could make Xia Liu look so troubled.

As for the document, Xia Liu read it for a while, then handed it to Yi Feng.

In a moment, he had memorized all its contents.

The task was simple, to transport a rock weighing ten pounds back.

This rock was known as the Demon Stone, symbolizing a stone possessing magic power.

Its origin was unknown, and the surface of the stone was very smooth.

It's characterized by its ability to withstand any attack; not even bullets could penetrate it.

The greatest and most formidable feature was that the Demon Stone was very soft and lightweight, just like silk.

Moreover, by forging, the Demon Stone could be transformed into the strongest armor in the world.

For instance, it could be made into a vest that, when worn, could not be shattered by bullets, not to mention a nuclear bomb.

Demon Stones were available worldwide but in very scarce quantities. Yet, the materials stored there amounted to a terrifying ten pounds.

If these ten pounds of material were developed, at least a hundred vests and a hundred helmets could be made.

If a special forces unit were equipped from head to toe in this armor, their combat effectiveness could reach the top in the world.

Xia Liu was excited not just because of a certain girl.

But also because, if he could obtain the Demon Stone, he could make armor for the girls!

That way, when he went out, he wouldn't have to worry too much about them anymore.

If Fang Huasheng knew Xia Liu's plan, he would surely fall off his chair.

Currently, there are only three pounds of Demon Stone within the country. This material, on the black market, could fetch hundreds of thousands or even millions of US dollars per gram.

Xia Liu was actually aiming for five pounds of Demon Stone; if people knew, they definitely wouldn't be able to stay calm.

As they conversed, hours quickly passed by, and the ship slowly approached the dock, protected by several naval vessels.

"Xia Liu, there are still two days before the mission begins, how about coming to my house for a visit?"

After docking, Fang Huasheng said to Xia Liu.

"I'd love to disturb your house for a few days." Ouyang Lingtian panicked when he heard this. Before the bet was over, how could Xia Liu go to the Fang Family's house? That would mean he could see Fang Fei all the time.

"Young Master Ouyang, can't you detect the mere formality in the old man's words? Who actually goes to eat just because someone casual invites them when passing by their house?"

Xia Liu gave Ouyang Lingtian a look; this guy was simply bizarre.

"Er...er..." Ouyang Lingtian was so embarrassed he couldn't say a word, he had indeed panicked just now.

Thinking it over carefully, Xia Liu was quite right.

"However, I'm pretty thick-skinned. If someone invites me to eat, I definitely will, hahaha..." Xia Liu couldn't help but laugh out loud, Ouyang Lingtian was indeed easy to trick.

"Asshole!" Ouyang Lingtian cursed angrily; he had been careless again.

"Hehe, Lingtian, if you'd like to come, the Fang Family is always welcoming, don't mind the rest," Fang Huasheng said with a smile.

Although Fang Huasheng said this, Ouyang Lingtian didn't have the face to go.

After the ship docked, he hurriedly left, afraid that Fang Fei would see his defeated expression.

Because the pirate incident was kept quiet by Fang Huasheng, it did not cause any sensation.

As the second-generation children disembarked, they all nodded at Xia Liu to show their gratitude.

"Brother Xia Liu, thank you for saving me. I even mocked you at that time; I'm really sorry," the cute Linlin said, continuously expressing her gratitude and apologizing before leaving.

"No problem, putting down others is not a good habit. Remember to change that behavior in the future," Xia Liu said with a smile.

"Linlin knows. Here's my phone number. Linlin hopes Brother Xia Liu can supervise and hopes you will call me."

After giving her phone number to Xia Liu, Linlin's cheeks turned rosy, then she bowed her head and quickly ran away from the dock.

"Sister, I just saw that girl give brother-in-law her phone number."

"Mhm, I saw it too."

"What should we do?"

"Let's give him some respect for now, but I'll deal with him back at home."

Hearing the whispers of the two women behind him, Xia Liu's face grew troubled.

Of course, he knew Fang Fei wouldn't really deal with him; she just wanted to show off in front of Lin Yazhi.

"Old man, you go back first. I need to go see Uncle Fu."

"Sure, I've heard that the Nether Emperor holds the Asura Blade in one hand and his medical skills match Hua Tuo. With you here, I believe Uncle Fu will recover quickly."

Fang Huasheng knew too much about Xia Liu.

Because he knew him more, he tried to recruit Xia Liu time and again.

Unfortunately, this guy was stubborn and would not accept any conditions.

Now, having walked into the situation himself, thinking of these, Fang Huasheng was very pleased.

Along with Xia Liu to Lin Yazhi's house was also Fang Fei.

The grandfather had already approved of Xia Liu, she surely wanted to stay by his side all the time.

Upon arrival, Xia Liu used his spiritual energy to help Uncle Fu recover from his physical injuries.

Of course, spiritual energy wasn't omnipotent. Xia Liu could only speed up the physical healing process; instant recovery was obviously impossible.

After having dinner at Lin Yazhi's house, Fang Fei pulled Xia Liu and walked away from the villa.

Barely out of the villa, Fang Fei pushed Xia Liu against the wall and then began biting his tongue.

Xia Liu was not one to back down, and he bit back…
