The item I identified is very strange.

Chapter 44 A Huge Loss!

The evening sunlight illuminates the old street.

The buildings here are mostly old-fashioned, with low buildings covered in cracks, showing the marks of time.

Xia Fan lay comfortably in the rocking chair, while the Nine Palaces Divine Child had been standing beside him for several hours.

Her recent investigation into the case has been making no progress, and she can only think about whether she can manage to get closer to the old man before reporting on her mission again.

She felt terrified every time she thought of Lord Thor.

"Grandpa, my feet are a little sore from standing. Could you massage them for me?"

As she spoke, the Nine Palaces Divine Child removed her wooden clogs from her jade-like foot, which was encased in a semi-transparent white silk stocking, and then raised her foot forward.

Xia Fan turned around and saw the girl's feet, which were very close. Through the semi-transparent white silk, her toes were slightly upturned, and the arch of her foot was fully displayed, making her feet appear both visible and hidden.

At the same time, her delicate toes twitched nimbly.

Xia Fan glanced at it twice and then looked away: "Go find a foot masseur, this old man doesn't have time for that."

Upon hearing this, the Nine Palaces Divine Child pursed her red lips, suppressing the urge to kick the old man violently.

That old geezer, he clearly stared at the soles of my feet a couple of times just now, yet he's still pretending to be so serious.

I've practically fed you right to your mouth and you still won't eat, you old geezer, bastard, pervert, maggot! Do you really think I care?

If it weren't for Thor's mission, an old geezer like you wouldn't even be worthy of looking at the outfit I'm wearing!

Do you really think I didn't see how excited you were when you bought the jade foot illustration?

"Grandpa, my feet are washed."

The Nine Palaces Divine Child deliberately put on a pitiful look, gently biting her red lips and blinking her eyes as she looked at Xia Fan.

hiss……

To be honest, she does look quite sexy, very much like the female leads in those marathon movies.

Combined with her outfit, it's simply stunning.

Xia Fan knew that, like the girls who stage accidents on the subway, it was very dangerous.

Having received no reply, the Nine Palaces Divine Child could only retract her jade foot, then, wearing wooden clogs, jogged away from the old street.

When she runs, an alluring yet subtly visible gap appears between her feet and her wooden clogs, occasionally revealing glimpses of her fair, delicate feet through white silk stockings.

Yes, it really looks great, and it must feel nice to touch.

After sighing, Xia Fan was genuinely puzzled as to why this Japanese-style girl was staring at him, especially with such poor acting skills.

The only time she plays a seemingly innocent but actually naive character is when she's playing a gullible but actually cowardly girl.

Just then, as the Nine Palaces Divine Child jogged, his magnificent robes swayed slightly and soon billowed in the breeze.

In that fleeting moment, Xia Fan caught a glimpse of the pure white lace trim, along with a subtitle that flashed by quickly.

Ok?

He was just about to get a clear look when the pink gown covered his eyes again.

What is that?

Xia Fan couldn't see clearly what the recognized subtitles were, nor did he know if they were useful at all.

Hey!

Huge loss!

Xia Fan slapped his thigh.

Why didn't I think of this before? This recognition function is very random, and it's possible that it might require certain conditions to be met before it can be recognized.

I just don't know if that white lace trim will still be recognizable in the future.

For example, Chen Xiaoxue's white socks must be worn for more than two days before they can be identified as blood qi runes. What conditions are required for that white lace trim?

Should I wear it for a few days, or...?

Xia Fan lowered his head in deep thought.

Of course, all of this is for the sake of becoming stronger. He is an old scholar, and in order to extend his lifespan, he must make some sacrifices.

……

That night, after dinner, Chen Xiaoxue saw Xia Fan off.

Aunt Chen was still drunk. She knew that Chen Xiaoxue was going to move to a new area with the school to adapt, so she drank a bit more.

"Old Deng, the Wu'an Bureau has closed the case, and the Ning family will probably behave themselves a lot more now."

Even without makeup, when not pretending to be a good girl, Chen Xiaoxue still has this cool look.

The Ning family definitely needs to be careful; it's just a matter of whether the other party will have their eye on them.

In summary, we still need to improve our strength as soon as possible. Lifespan is the most important issue. Otherwise, we won't be able to keep the old guy awake for too long and let this girl run wild.

Thinking this, his gaze fell on Chen Xiaoxue's delicate feet clad in white sneakers.

We need to find a way to address the root cause of blood and qi deficiency...

His misidentification is utterly absurd; how could he possibly mistake a jade foot for the source of blood and qi?

It makes him look like a perverted old man, still having a foot fetish at his age.

Chen Xiaoxue certainly noticed Lao Deng's gaze, but she just muttered to herself, "You old pervert, it's like you're just here for me to play with, and you don't even have any goods to offer. You can only look on and enjoy it."

Old man, so lewd...

Xia Fan, of course, had no idea what the girl was thinking. He was just thinking that he should go to the Gate of Truth first and see what the Gate of Truth was used for.

This is a shortcut to improving your strength!

For example, he would even dip anything that could increase his lifespan in sauce, such as blood and vital energy.

Thinking about it carefully, it's not so bad if it's a beautiful girl's delicate feet; at most, it's just a little...

Xia Fan and Chen Xiaoxue walked down the dimly lit corridor. Despite their apparent age difference, they were surprisingly talkative when they started chatting.

Chen Xiaoxue was also very curious as to why Xia Fan never seemed like an old man whenever she chatted with him.

"By the way, Lao Deng, come with me to a place in a few days. Someone wants to see you," Chen Xiaoxue said.

"I'm not going."

Xia Fan rolled his eyes.

Every time this girl doesn't explain herself clearly, nothing friendly happens to the old man.

Chen Xiaoxue panicked and immediately stepped forward, blocking Xia Fan's doorway: "No, Lao Deng, you have to go!"

"Why?" Xia Fan looked at Chen Xiaoxue, his face full of doubt.

After a moment of silence, Chen Xiaoxue replied, "They are my biological parents, and they want to see you."

Xia Fan stood still after hearing this: "Aren't you afraid of upsetting your mother?"

"I don't acknowledge them; I just treat them purely as tools," Chen Xiaoxue replied.

"Wait a minute, let me sort this out. If you're treating them like tools, then why do they want to see me?"

Is there a connection between these things? Xia Fan didn't understand.

"You'll know when you get there, anyway, you have to go." Chen Xiaoxue's tone left no room for argument.

Xia Fan thought for a moment, then asked, "What's in it for me?"

Chen Xiaoxue didn't speak, standing still, her pretty face and expression unchanged.

Xia Fan frowned: "Let me make this clear first, I'm not going if there's no benefit to it."

He looked at Chen Xiaoxue's delicate and beautiful face. The dim corridor and the faint light shone on her face.

The next second, Chen Xiaoxue suddenly leaned closer, tiptoed on her white shoes, and quickly brought her red lips close.

Before Xia Fan could even react, he felt soft lips land on his face.

His pupils suddenly contracted.

It feels very soft, slightly bouncy, and a little damp.

However, the feeling disappeared before it could even be savored.

Chen Xiaoxue had already turned around and was running quickly towards her home, while Xia Fan stood still.

At this moment, Chen Xiaoxue quickly opened the door, closed it, and leaned against it.

Her face flushed slightly, and even she herself didn't know why she was doing this.

Perhaps... it's just because he has a good relationship with Old Deng?

That's right, Old Deng is so old, she just kissed the old man, it's nothing!

The day Old Deng made the bet with her flashed through her mind.

"What foot-washing cola? It's just that he's old and hasn't been with a woman yet, so he's repressed," Chen Xiaoxue muttered.

She would never give Xia Fan that thing. The water that had been washed was obviously not meant for Lao Deng. The thought of Lao Deng drinking water in a daze was unbearable for her.

For young girls, hygiene is very important, and even if she is very open-minded, she wouldn't want to.

"Old Deng, I'm giving you a kiss. Consider it a reward for saving me. It's your fault for not seizing the opportunity last night..." Chen Xiaoxue muttered.

The old man really doesn't understand love; he has no idea about taking advantage of someone's vulnerability.

If you want to sleep with a girl, you have to do it while she's not fully awake.

Chen Xiaoxue blushed, thinking to herself.

Meanwhile, Xia Fan remained standing in the same spot, looking in the direction Chen Xiaoxue had run off to.

This girl is really alluring.

Trying to seduce Old Deng, huh? Once I regain my youth, I'll erase the last two characters of your name.

Xia Fan was just about to return to his room when he suddenly froze.

Oops!

Losing big!

If you didn't make any requests earlier, you should at least find some reason, even if it's just to touch her jade feet.

That's the source of blood and energy!

Even if that doesn't work, he can still get some Source Crystals. Although being kissed by a beautiful girl is quite novel for him, who has never been in a relationship before.

But lifespan is the key; he must find a way to regain his youth, otherwise he will die of old age in a few years.

But judging from the current situation, it's pretty uncertain how that girl will agree.
