Chapter 4: The Magic X-ray Talisman
Half an hour ago, Zhou Lang found five X-ray talismans, invisibility talismans, and wall-passing talismans.
“With this X-ray talisman, I can see any beauty’s body. Ye Qianqian, there are many beauties in the world. Losing you is like losing a single leaf, but I’ll gain the entire forest.”
Zhou Lang’s mood improved, and he said to Xiao Xi, “Let’s stop practicing for today. I’m going out to eat something, and I have to go to work.”
“Brother Lang, what does ‘going to work’ mean?”
Xiao Xi asked, confused. Her thinking was probably similar to that of people from hundreds of years ago, so even concepts that a three-year-old child would understand were a bit unclear to her.
“Going to work means doing something to earn money to buy food and clothes to support oneself,” Zhou Lang explained after thinking for a moment.
“Brother Lang, you no longer fear the cold now. Once your cultivation reaches a certain level, you won’t even need to eat; just absorbing spiritual energy will be enough. Then you won’t need to work anymore,” Xiao Xi said.
“Xiao Xi, what level are you at?”
Zhou Lang asked. He had already read through the Dual Cultivation Manual and knew that there were many levels for cultivators. Above the Qi Refining stage, there was the Foundation Establishment stage, the Golden Core stage, and many more.
“I’m currently at the Foundation Establishment stage,” Xiao Xi replied.
Then, Zhou Lang used his divine sense to leave the Heaven and Earth Palace within the ancient copper coin and returned to his dormitory.
After eating a bowl of noodles at a noodle shop outside the school, Zhou Lang rode a bicycle to the Lover’s Bar, where he worked as a waiter during the summer break.
…
The Lover’s Bar officially opened at 5 p.m., but when Zhou Lang arrived at the bar at 4:15, many of the employees were already there, chatting around the bar counter.
Most of the staff at Lover’s Bar were young men and women. Besides a manager named Zhang Deyuan and a supervisor named Cao Yushan, who were in their thirties, the other employees were mostly between eighteen and twenty-five years old.
Among the supervisors and waiters, there were seven or eight attractive girls dressed provocatively, who were always the center of attention for the male employees.
But today, none of them were the focus. A tall, blonde, blue-eyed foreign woman overshadowed them all.
This foreign woman, who seemed to be around twenty-five years old, was wearing a simple white T-shirt and a black short skirt, with crystal-high heels on her feet, outshining everyone.
Her skirt was very short, and her long, beautiful legs drew even more attention.
“Why is there a foreign woman here? Her figure rivals Xiao Xi’s,” Zhou Lang thought, immediately attracted to the foreign woman as soon as he entered the bar.
“Hi, everyone. My name is Ivanova, and I’m the new bartender. How about we play a game together?”
The foreign woman spoke before Zhou Lang reached the bar. Surprisingly, her Chinese was very fluent.
“What game, Miss Ivanova? I’m the first to join,” a man with a crew cut said flatteringly. He was also a waiter at the bar, and his eyes kept darting over Ivanova’s fiery figure.
“Everyone, guess what color underwear I’m wearing today. The man who guesses correctly can spend ten wonderful minutes with me,” Ivanova said with a seductive wink.
Foreign women are so open! As soon as she said that, not just the male waiters but even the manager Zhang Deyuan and the supervisor Cao Yushan, two middle-aged men, nearly had nosebleeds.
In an instant, all the male employees in the bar gathered around, eager to win the chance to spend ten minutes with Ivanova, something they had always dreamed of.
The female employees cursed Ivanova in their hearts for seducing men, but they didn’t miss the excitement either. Soon, everyone had formed a circle around Ivanova.
Ivanova seemed to enjoy the attention, swaying her body to the light music playing in the bar.
Her dance was casual and relaxed, but also very alluring.
The male employees at the bar were accustomed to seeing beautiful women, so they usually had a high tolerance, but now, their eyes were all glued to her.
Even Manager Zhang Deyuan, who usually appeared stern, quickly revealed his lecherous side. His eyes never left Ivanova, not even blinking.
At thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old, Zhang Deyuan had worked at Lover’s Bar for about ten years, slowly working his way up to the manager position. In these ten years, he had seen countless beauties, but it was his first time encountering someone as stunning as Ivanova. Naturally, he was eager to win the chance to spend ten intimate minutes with her.
“Manager Zhang, you guess first,” one of the male waiters said flatteringly. This type of person is the typical sycophant, always looking for ways to please their superiors.
“Since everyone insists, I won’t refuse.”
Zhang Deyuan smiled and said, “I guess it’s black. Black is sexy, and it matches the color of the skirt.”
“NO!”
Ivanova shook her head, smiling slightly, and continued to sway her body.
“It’s white. White represents purity, and look how pure our Ivanova is,” Supervisor Cao Yushan guessed.
However, his words made the female employees internally criticize him: This fox-like woman, oozing seduction from her very bones, and you call her pure?
Of course, since he was a supervisor, no one dared to directly mock him.
Ivanova continued to shake her head.
The male waiters then took turns guessing, suggesting colors like red, yellow, orange, and green, but no one guessed correctly.
Even a tomboyish female waiter joined in, causing everyone to burst into laughter.
“No one can guess right. It’s really strange.”
“Wait, I have a few X-ray talismans on me. I might as well test them out now,” Zhou Lang thought and decided to head to the restroom.
“Xiao Zhou, why haven’t you guessed yet?”
Manager Zhang Deyuan called out when he saw Zhou Lang walking away.
“Just going to the restroom, I’ll be right back,” Zhou Lang replied.
“This guy’s name sounds like a ladies’ man, but he’s so shy,” Zhang Deyuan muttered, thinking Zhou Lang was too embarrassed since he usually didn’t interact much with the other bar employees outside of work.
“Manager Zhang, Zhou Lang is just a part-time waiter. I heard he’s still a university student who hasn’t graduated yet, so he’s quite shy,” a girl laughed.
Two minutes later, everyone who wanted to guess Ivanova’s underwear color had tried, but no one got it right.
“Ivanova, you’re not playing us, are you? Maybe we guessed right, and you’re just saying we didn’t. Why don’t you show us? That would be fair,” Supervisor Cao Yushan joked. He was in his early thirties, unmarried, and at the peak of his desires.
If it were any other girl, she would have been angry at such a joke, but this was a bar, a place where people were more open. Since it wasn’t official work hours yet, everyone was just joking around and not taking things too seriously.
“Yeah, how do we know you’re not lying?”
Some of the male waiters joined in, egging her on.
“I never lie,” Ivanova said with a seductive smile in fluent Chinese.
“Since none of you guessed correctly, there’s nothing more I can do.”
“What about me?”
At that moment, Zhou Lang walked out of the restroom. He had just applied the X-ray talisman to his back.
