Chapter 177 Qu Xinyao

Lifting the body of this car was not a difficult task at all for Lin Le as he is now. With his current physical strength, he could easily pick up the entire vehicle.

"Wow!" The charming young woman on the side widened her eyes in astonishment at this sight, looking at Lin Le in disbelief.

Shortly after, an instinctive phrase escaped the girl's lips that caught Lin Le completely off guard: "Yadogone!"

Hearing this, Lin Le paused for a moment, failing to react immediately. He felt the phrase sounded so familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before, yet he could not recall what it meant.

Noticing Lin Le's bewildered reaction, the charming young woman suddenly realized something and quickly said with a smile, "I'm sorry, I just came back from abroad, please forgive me. I meant to say, you are amazing!"

With that, the charming woman bowed directly to Lin Le.

Returned from abroad? That was when Lin Le remembered that what the girl had just said seemed to be Japanese, and it indeed meant "so amazing."

Thinking of this, Lin Le finally remembered where he had heard that phrase before. Ahem, how embarrassing...

"It's fine. You can change the tire now," Lin Le said with a smile.

To be honest, faced with such a sexy, charming, exceptionally beautiful girl with a sweet voice and a pleasant temperament, even Lin Le could not bring himself to refuse her request for help.

The charming woman nodded, hurriedly fetched the spare tire, squatted down, and began changing the tire.

However, the charming woman possessed such a scorching figure, squatting right in front of Lin Le like that, which was truly a bit much for anyone to handle.

Her jade-like, long legs were fully exposed before Lin Le as she squatted there, her flowing long hair cascading down, wearing an expression of intense concentration on her work.

Such a scene was simply bound to set one's imagination running wild.

Not only that, from Lin Le's perspective, her gorgeous figure was completely taken in at a glance.

At the front, he could catch a glimpse of the collar of her light blue shirt; looking past her smooth spine from behind, he could see the hem of her pleated black skirt hiked up. Indeed, no sight could possibly be more mesmerizing.

What was even more agonizing was that the task of removing and replacing the tire was no easy feat for the charming woman. Every time she exerted force, a sound akin to *that* would escape her lips, practically melting a person's entire body with sweetness.

The charming woman showed no pretense whatsoever; those alluring traits seemed to be innate within her very body. One could only say she was a natural femme fatale!

Probably no man in this world could endure such a scene. Fortunately, Lin Le's Taoist cultivation had already reached the Great Completion of Foundation Establishment, and his spiritual heart was much firmer than before; otherwise, his mind would have long been thrown into turmoil and he would have lost his composure.

Moments later, the charming woman finally finished changing the tire, and Lin Le carefully lowered the car back to the ground.

"How about that? I told you our Mr. Jack was very useful," Ji Xiaorui said, resting her hand on Lin Le's shoulder and praising him to the charming woman with a smug look.

"Haha, he is truly amazing! Thank you so much!" the charming woman said with deep gratitude.

"You're welcome," Lin Le replied.

"Hey, are you also from Haidong?" the charming woman asked in pleasant surprise, recognizing Lin Le's accent.

"That's right, my hometown is Haizhou," Lin Le said.

"Wow, that's wonderful! I never expected to run into people from my hometown right after returning to the country! If it weren't for you guys, I wouldn't have known what to do. I'm so lucky!" the charming woman said with a radiant smile.

The charming woman's skin was fair and tender. As she beamed with delight, her skin flushed slightly, making her whole presence bloom like a peach blossom, brimming with charm.

"Since we're all from Haizhou, we might run into each other there again in the future. Let me introduce myself first; my name is Qu Xinyao. May I ask your names?" the charming woman asked cheerfully.

"My name is Ji Xiaorui, and this Mr. Jack here is named Lin Le," Ji Xiaorui introduced.

"Xiaorui, Lin Le, got it," Qu Xinyao said with a smile.

"Alright, we still have things to attend to, so we'll take our leave," Lin Le said.

After that, Lin Le and Ji Xiaorui returned to the car. Following their farewells to Qu Xinyao, they continued their journey on the road, heading toward Floor Nine.

"Master, the weather is quite nice today," Ji Xiaorui said casually while driving.

"Mm, it's alright," Lin Le replied offhandedly.

"The scenery here isn't bad either, is it?" Ji Xiaorui continued.

"Mm, truly," Lin Le responded again.

"Qu Xinyao has a smoking hot figure, doesn't she?"

"Mm, it's indeed not bad..."

Just halfway through his sentence, Lin Le suddenly realized something was amiss. "You brat, how dare you set a trap for your master!"

"Hahahaha..." Ji Xiaorui burst into fits of laughter, rocking back and forth.

"It seems Master observed quite carefully indeed! Shouldn't you thank me for giving you such a great opportunity to get close to a beauty? Mr. Jack?" Ji Xiaorui asked with an utterly carefree expression.

"I can't be bothered with you. Just drive your car properly!" Lin Le put on a stern expression and said.

"Yes, Mr. Jack! Hahaha..." Ji Xiaorui continued to tease him.

Lin Le was utterly rendered speechless.

Watching Lin Le and Ji Xiaorui frolic, Liang Qiuyang couldn't help but wear a smile at the corner of his mouth, sighing inwardly that it was truly great to be young...

For the remainder of the trip, Lin Le was addressed exclusively as Mr. Jack by Ji Xiaorui.

Ten-odd minutes later, Liang Qiuyang finally pointed ahead toward a valley and said, "Look, that's Floor Nine over there!"

Following the direction Liang Qiuyang pointed, Lin Le and Ji Xiaorui indeed saw several structures emerging within the valley. Not far from Floor Nine, they could also spot a parking lot already packed with cars, indicating that quite a few people had already arrived.

After parking their car in the lot, Lin Le and the others walked toward the building ahead.

To be honest, upon their first glimpse of the building's exterior, Lin Le was rather disappointed.

Because the building before them looked far too dilapidated, appearing as gray and weathered as an abandoned old mansion. Had he merely spotted it by the roadside, Lin Le wouldn't even have spared it a second glance.

Could this really be the famed Floor Nine of Shangjing?

When they arrived at the entrance of the building, there were no guards. Instead, two men dressed in rags like beggars stood there, leaning against the base of the wall.

Anyone unaware of the truth would likely mistake these two for homeless people squatting in this rundown house.

However, at a single glance, Lin Le could tell that both beggars possessed martial arts cultivation, and their foundations were not weak at all, having both reached the entry level of Inner Force.

Lin Le couldn't help marveling inwardly. Even the doormen were Inner Force martial artists; Floor Nine was indeed extraordinary!

Liang Qiuyang walked over and handed their three invitations forward.

The doorman merely glanced at them before stepping aside to clear the way. The two staves they held struck the ground simultaneously with a dull thud, and with a creaking sound, the dilapidated courtyard gate directly before them swung open.

Originally, Lin Le and his companions had prepared themselves to face a desolate courtyard. To their surprise, however, lying behind that rundown courtyard gate was a clean, immaculate elevator!

In this remote wilderness, amidst a building as dilapidated as ruins, an elevator unexpectedly appeared. Such a sight was genuinely unexpected.

Lin Le, Ji Xiaorui, and Liang Qiuyang were all taken aback. Exchanging glances, they stepped into the elevator.

The back of the elevator was made of transparent glass, styled as an observation elevator.

Once inside, they were astonished to discover that the rundown exterior was indeed just a facade. Looking outward from the elevator, they beheld a gigantic deep pit right before their eyes, resembling a giant shaft. Within this shaft, towering layer upon layer like a circular pagoda, were structures built directly into the mountain face!

As it turned out, this was the true appearance of Floor Nine!
