His skin quickly turned red, like a boiled shrimp. The mouth and nose constantly exhaled white water vapor, which was extremely hot.

Yanji non-heavenly skill is also a hard work, and the main focus is on the external membrane. After Dacheng, the skin is extremely hard and can resist sharp stabbing and sharp cuts, but it has little effect on blunt blows.

What White Stone Creek values is its ability to resist sharp weapons.

Soaking in the medicinal soup, Bai Shixi quickly followed the method of Yanji Non-Heavenly Gong, using an iron brush soaked in water in advance to slowly brush the skin.

The shape of this brush is no different from that of a regular bath brush, but it is made of black iron throughout, and the ends are extremely sharp. It is exactly what is necessary to practice this skill specifically as mentioned in the Yanji Non-Heavenly Gong.

Bai Shixi sat in the bathtub, the iron brush in his hand constantly brushing back and forth on his chest, abdomen and back.

His movements were light, but as time went on, he grew heavier and faster, and his skin became redder and redder.

Originally, he was able to perform two great skills, and his body was tough and strong, but at this time, he came to practice the hard skills of Yanji Non-Heavenly Skills, so he naturally got twice the result with half the effort.

Soon, as time passed, Bai Shixi obviously felt a chill rising in his lower abdomen. Then the pores of the whole body shrank suddenly, and with the stimulation of the iron brush, it was reacting a little instinctively, absorbing the medicinal power of the medicinal decoction.

***************

"Fight the fire!! Hurry up and put out the fire!! ”

"It's a fire!! What about fire extinguishers? What about the people who put out the fire!? ”

"Here, hurry up!!"

The sky lit up with a white belly, and a touch of blue mixed with a hint of red appeared in the eastern sky. Flash Dance

Zhou Shuangshuang was wearing a white dress and had been standing on the terrace for a while. Behind her is the study where she siptes tea and practices calligraphy and reads every day.

And this is Wangxi Tower, which is also a five-story small building specially built for her by her father, and each floor from top to bottom is full of her various things and furnishings.

"Frost, are you still watching the fire?" While he was wandering, an old man with long gray hair with a thick voice slowly walked into the room.

"When I saw that the door was not closed, I came in and looked." The old man laughed. Dressed in a brocade robe, with fish-patterned jade beads hanging around his waist, he wore a pair of silk gloves that were not gold or silver, but the scales were shining.

"Daddy's fire, it's so scary, how many years has Boluo City not seen such a big fire?" Zhou Shuangshuang turned around and whispered.

"It wasn't a fire, but now it's considered an accident, and I heard that something happened to an underworld force outside. These sunspots are not a good thing, extortion and blood-sucking, and it is best to die. "The old man is Zhou Shuangshuang's father, Zhou Daqian, the old man of Zhou Daqian in Fujia Boluo City.

This old man's experience is a legend, from starting from scratch to today's Fujia Boluo City, almost all of them are run by their own hands.

His original name was Zhou Zhizao, and the Daqian in his name was changed later, and the original name meant disgusting that he was born too early.

This person grew up in a poor family, and his parents didn't like him, thinking that he had dragged his eldest brother to the civil service.

But he didn't expect that decades later, he was the only one in the Zhou family who soared, although he was a businessman, but his family was big, and it was far beyond his parents' imagination.

What's even more valuable is that after he had his eldest son, he had another daughter Shuangshuang, and his children were filial, which could be regarded as a positive result.

"Tomorrow, that Liao Gongzi is going to come to the house as a guest, you must dress up well, and you also have to come out to meet the courtesy." Zhou Daqian admonished.

"I don't like Liao Fengfeng." Zhou Shuangshuang said in a low voice.

"That's no way, we are businessmen, and the lifeblood is in the hands of these official families, my daughter, I was born in such troubled times, and I can't help myself after all" Zhou Daqian also said helplessly.

How could he want his daughter to be a wife to Liao Fengfeng, the son of the deputy city lord, but what could he do? In the past, it was good to say that it was peaceful, but now there is turmoil, the trade routes are about to be cut off, and the supplies in the city are becoming more and more tight. And the Zhou family, which has stored the most materials, has become the best fat sheep in the eyes of the superiors.

Although there are a lot of relationships on weekdays, at this time of tension, where can those connections that rely only on money be reliable.

So although this move wronged her daughter, she could only be hard-hitting.

When Liao Fengfeng arrived, he was the only son of the Wang family, the deputy city lord, as long as he used some medicine to cook raw rice and cooked rice, and then sent a large amount of dowry, gold and silver property, Shuangshuang's wife status would not be able to run.

Zhou Shuangshuang was helpless, she didn't know her father's little abacus, but after all, it was a father-daughter connection, and she could more or less see Zhou Daqian's thoughts.

Brother Zhou Xuan's side only ordered a family business, which was made with the daughter of the prison warden in the city.

The prison director is the prison official in the Boluo City Lord's Mansion, and he is considered to be one of the top ten big names in the Yamen of Yanshan City today.

Speaking of which, the Zhou family seems to have a big business, but in fact, it is all dependent on the affection that Zhou Daqian got when he funded the city lord's mansion, but now the affection is becoming more and more depleted, and it is about to run out. Boluo City has suffered another major event, and no longer looks for some backers, for fear that something will happen.

"Frost, Daddy can't do it. Do you know what conditions your brother proposed when he asked for a marriage? Zhou Daqian's face showed a trace of helplessness and powerlessness.

"What conditions? Isn't it gold and silver jewelry? Ten pairs of antiques, a number of authentic masterpieces? Zhou Shuangshuang wondered.

Zhou Daqian looked at this innocent daughter and shook his head with a wry smile.

"That's just the surface, the prison chief, what he really wants is half of our Zhou family's wealth."

"Huh!?" Zhou Shuangshuang was suddenly shocked.

Half of the family's wealth, this is simply it

"If you can succeed this time, we may be able to keep 20% of the remaining half of the foundation, but if not," Zhou Daqian smiled bitterly. Outsiders look at him as a beauty, but a few people know the suffering.

It seems that the family is big and the business is big, but in fact, it is a fat sheep in the eyes of many people.

Zhou Shuangshuang was silent.

She lowered her head, and it took a moment before she slowly lifted it.

"I see"

"It's good if you understand," Zhou Dao walked and nodded in relief. Isn't the adoption of a daughter and a daughter being prepared for this time?

"I think, let's go see the academy at the end," Zhou Shuangshuang said in a deep voice.

"Looking for that White Rock Creek again? People don't want you anymore, and you still go to him to do something, but a bastard boy! After learning a little martial arts, I don't know how thick the sky is! Zhou Daqian suddenly became dissatisfied. Although he has a big business, he is not a Jianghu person after all, and he does not understand the high-level changes of the Sequoia Army. Naturally, he hadn't heard of Baishixi's reputation, maybe he had heard one or two, but he thought it was the same name and didn't care.

At this time, seeing his daughter's stubborn appearance, his heart finally softened.

Drugged Liao Fengfeng, or the only son of the deputy city lord who had obviously rejected his daughter before, even if everything went well, the Liao family would admit it, but after marrying Shuangshuang, she would definitely suffer humiliation because of this, and she was the daughter of a businessman, and her life in the future would be extremely difficult.

Thinking of this, Zhou Daqian finally sighed.

"Go, go, but don't be impulsive, otherwise my Zhou family is really" he sighed, turned to leave, and said no more.

Zhou Shuangshuang watched her father leave and walk out of the door, she finally couldn't hold back anymore, squatted down, tears sliding down her cheeks.
