If that black substance oozing out of my body last time was the Washing Marrow and Cutting Bone process, now it must be the tempering of the five organs. It's like cleaning all the impurities out of my entire body.

"Could it be that this weird power could prompt a person's body to evolve? Will I become Superman one day?" Wu Xu thought gleefully.

"Brother Wu, do you feel much better now?" Zhao Qian sat by Wu Xu's bed and suddenly asked with a smile.

Wu Xu rolled his eyes over to see her, but just looking at Zhao Qian's smile made him apprehensive; when had this girl started smiling so sweetly?

"Hehe, yeah, Sister Qian, you seem quite busy too. Maybe you should go back. There are nurses here at the hospital." Wu Xu figured he should send Zhao Qian away or else he'd be the one to suffer if she got angry.

"Aww, are you ditching me as soon as the work's done? You think I'm useless just after I've wiped your butt?" However, Zhao Qian wasn't so easy to dismiss. While smiling sweetly, her hand landed on Wu Xu's thigh, and with a twist of her delicate fingers, his leg flesh deformed.

"Ouch!" Wu Xu couldn't feel pain, but it still hurt his heart; after all, it was his own flesh, and once feeling returned, the bruises were sure to be uncomfortable.

"No, no, Sister Qian, you can stay if you want. Look at me, I'm all like this; how can you still bear to hurt me?" Wu Xu pleaded pitifully.

"Hmph, I don't need to pinch you, but you have to tell me how you discovered that assassin that night. And what happened between you and the assassin during the fight, from the intensive care ward all the way to the backyard? We have surveyed the whole path, and the destruction suggests a fierce battle. You don't look like that level of a master to me?" Zhao Qian suddenly spoke up, her beautiful eyes wide with curiosity as she stared at Wu Xu.

Wu Xu was taken aback. This was really not easy to explain.

After all, learning Martial Arts for just a few days, his ability to defeat Bai Ma relied entirely on the superhuman strength he gained from being electrocuted. Should he tell her that he's a Super Saiyan capable of transforming?

"Right, weren't there all-around cameras installed in the ICU? You can just watch the video," Wu Xu asked, perplexed.

Zhao Qian's face turned red, and she stammered, unable to speak.

"Is it that you're not high-ranking enough to be allowed to watch?" Wu Xu suddenly asked, realizing the possibility.

Zhao Qian became immediately indignant: "How am I not high-ranking enough? Tell me right now! Seeing for myself in the video would be clearer than anything you say, huh, don't push me."

After saying that, Wu Xu immediately regretted it. As expected, Zhao Qian's tantrum revealed her true nature.

But this was more like the Zhao Qian he knew. Wu Xu felt relieved inside.

"Actually, it was like this, the fight wasn't as fierce as you thought. The white-clothed assassin wasn't as formidable as you imagined, and actually, I am quite the master myself," Wu Xu boasted.

Zhao Qian narrowed her eyes: "A master, hm? Which style of Martial Arts did you learn?"

"Heavenly Dragon Stance!" Wu Xu declared proudly.

Being able to turn the sinister and strange Heavenly Snake Stance into the robust and masculine Heavenly Dragon Stance was something Wu Xu was very proud of.

Having read many martial arts novels, those who could create their own Martial Arts were always generation masters, so even just altering the nature of a technique should make him half a Grandmaster, right? Definitely, he had the potential to be a generation master in the future.

But what Wu Xu didn't know was that all this was the work of the strange power that resided within his body.

"Heavenly Dragon Stance? What kind of Martial Arts is that?" Zhao Qian looked thoughtful.

"Obviously, it's a Peerless Divine Skill," Wu Xu said with scorn.

"Really? Can you teach me?" Zhao Qian asked hopefully.

"No way," Wu Xu flatly refused without a second thought.

Joking aside, this is the martial arts secret of an assassin girl, how could it just be casually taught to outsiders? If the assassin girl found out, accountability would be the least of the worries. Zhao Qian, who has learned the Heavenly Snake Stance, might have to endure being pursued by the assassin girl.

"Stingy!" Zhao Qian was instantly furious. This bastard, she even wiped his butt for him, and yet he keeps his martial arts skills so tightly hidden. It's not the age of martial heroes anymore, no matter how good your martial arts are, a gun can take you down; she was just curious, that's all. Can't he play along even a bit?

Pouting petulantly, Zhao Qian's face yet exuded a certain other charm.

Wu Xu was immediately drawn in, his gaze unwaveringly fixed on Zhao Qian. He thought to himself, it's really unexpected—this little lady also has such a sassy side; she looks even more beautiful when angry.

Feeling a bit embarrassed by Wu Xu's gaze, Zhao Qian said annoyedly, "What are you looking at? Haven't seen a beauty before?"

"I have seen beauties, but haven't seen one as beautiful as you," Wu Xu knew that Zhao Qian felt somewhat at a disadvantage in front of him. It was always good to comfort her a bit and saying a few nice words didn't cost him anything.

"Really?" No matter the temperament, Zhao Qian was still a woman; being complimented naturally delighted her.

"Of course, Sister Qian ranks within the top three of all the women I have ever seen!" Wu Xu said earnestly.

"Only the top three," Zhao Qian wasn't fully satisfied yet.

"Sister Qian, you should be content. Of all the women I've seen, not ten thousand, there must be eight thousand. Being in the top three means you are stunningly gorgeous," Wu Xu talked glibly, freely giving out sweet nothings.

However, speaking seriously, Zhao Qian's beauty is indeed unique—a face that's both youthful and well-endowed, plus she's a police officer, wearing a uniform adds an extra hint of allure. Among all the beautiful women Wu Xu has seen recently, Zhao Qian could definitely rank in the top ten.

Of course, the number one in Wu Xu's heart suddenly conjured up the image of the assassin girl, Blood Phoenix.

Blood Phoenix's beauty is a kind of cold charm—at first sight, it shocks one, but the more you look, the more entrancing it becomes, it's like a moth to a flame.

Wu Xu and Blood Phoenix could be considered an unconventional cohabitation, seeing her every day, his heart became captivated by this unique beauty, but its coldness also gave Wu Xu a sense of distance, as though it was unattainable.

"Stunning beauty, hee-hee, top three isn't bad at all," Zhao Qian was actually quite easy to please, leaving Wu Xu a bit surprised.

"Oh right, almost forgot the official business," Zhao Qian suddenly became serious and announced: "According to the municipal committee's directive, comrade Wu Xu assisted the city bureau significantly and made major contributions to capturing the assassin, so as a special reward you are granted five hundred thousand Yuan to encourage you."

"Five hundred thousand," Wu Xu smacked his lips; if it was before, that would indeed be a huge amount. But now, that five hundred thousand really didn't catch Wu Xu's eye at all.

Zhao Qian was delightfully reciting this, yet saw Wu Xu unmoved, and immediately lost interest, discontentedly saying: "Not enough for you? This money is deducted from our police department's budget to reward you. If you don't want it, then give it up, it'll save our department some cash."

Seeing that he offended Zhao Qian again, Wu Xu quickly explained: "Not at all, you know, my nerves are damaged, so the feeling of joy comes very slowly. Look how happy I am now, hehe."

Wu Xu forced a foolish smile, but it was a blatantly fake one.

Five hundred thousand is not a small sum, it's the reward for his hard work, why not take it.

Zhao Qian was amused by Wu Xu, chuckled, and gave him a reproachful glare. Somehow, she found that talking to Wu Xu this way felt rather pleasant.

Zhao Qian didn't stay at Wu Xu's place for long before leaving. The Junshan police department had just finished the case involving the assassin, and there were still many matters to be settled. She had managed to secure the order to present Wu Xu with the monetary reward, which was the reason for her visit.

After Zhao Qian left, Wu Xu started to feel bored.

Now that he couldn't move his body and had no one to accompany him, life felt really dull.

"Miss the grace of a beauty, or can't bear to part with it?"
