"Oh, we just feel bad about it, we're just browsing."
The more Zhang Wang said this, the more embarrassed Li Qi Qi felt. Everything in the shop was quite pricey, and even if she liked it, she wouldn't dare to ask Tang Rao.
"It's fine, after all, these are all my brother's. What's in my brother's shop is also my sister-in-law's. Would my brother be stingy with his sister-in-law?"
It turns out this shop belongs to Tang Rao. No wonder the shop is called Kao Shan Shop, just like the Kao Shan Sect. Tang Rao is trying to build his own brand.
"Then I won't be polite."
Li Qi Qi clung to Tang Rao's wrist, her admiration for Tang Rao growing deeper.
"Qi Qi, what level of strength are you at now?" Tang Rao suddenly realized he hadn't asked Li Qi Qi yet. He hadn't seen Li Qi Qi fight before and couldn't tell what her strength was.
"Strength?"
Li Qi Qi was a bit puzzled by Tang Rao's question.
"I don't even know what my strength is. I've been frail and sick since childhood and have never cultivated."
To Tang Rao, this was like a blow to the head.
He thought Li Qi Qi was at least a lower deity, but who knew Li Qi Qi was nothing. She just said she didn't know?
"Being frail and sick since childhood was because she was poisoned, but it doesn't an her body is weak. How about we test her strength?"
Tang Rao suddenly rembered that there was sothing on the second floor of the Kao Shan Shop ant for testing strength. Perhaps it could test Li Qi Qi.
"Can we really?"
Li Qi Qi had always wanted to be soone with divine power, but people constantly said she couldn't do anything, leading her to believe she was truly useless.
"Sure, let's give it a try."
Tang Rao led Li Qi Qi to the second floor.
If those wives from the Land of Immortals knew how well Tang Rao treated a woman in the Divine Realm, they'd surely be madly jealous.
"Zhang Wang, I rember our shop has a stone for testing strength. Could you bring it for to take a look?"
Tang Rao was blunt with Zhang Wang; after all, this was Tang Rao's territory, and taking a look at his own things was nothing.
"Boss, you want to test sister-in-law's strength?"
Zhang Wang was a pro in this field but had never shown a hand in front of others.
"Yes, she's been frail and sick since childhood, says she has no strength, but to have survived years of poisoning, she seems more than ets the eye."
Tang Rao always had a keen eye. If he said Li Qi Qi had strength, then she surely wouldn't disappoint his expectations.
"Actually, at first glance, I noticed sothing special about sister-in-law, but I couldn't quite pinpoint where she differs from others."
Zhang Wang had seen all kinds of situations, but never soone like Li Qi Qi.
Just as Tang Rao was about to test Li Qi Qi's strength, Zhang Wang stood by to observe and learn.
What he brought to Tang Rao was a round stone resembling an inkstone. Inside the stone was water; when untouched, the water was crystal clear, with nothing inside. But once soone touched it, it would change, with power corresponding to the water; the stronger the power, the deeper the color of the water.
"Put your hand inside this and silently recite the mnemonic you first obtained, then look at the color of the water."
In the Divine Realm, one may not have power but must have their own ntal thod.
Li Qi Qi nodded, silently reciting the ntal thod as she placed her hand in the water.
The water, initially clear, gradually beca teal, then dark green, showing an erald color that left everyone dumbstruck.
This color was so beautiful that even Tang Rao couldn't snap out of it for a long ti.
"What level of strength is this, such a beautiful green, it must be sothing powerful."
Looking at the water, Tang Rao felt like taking the water ho directly.
"This water, not good."
Zhang Wang spoke the truth in front of Tang Rao.
Li Qi Qi and Tang Rao were both stunned.
How could this water be bad?
"What do you an, speak clearly."
Tang Rao had a hint of fierceness in his eyes. If Zhang Wang's explanation didn't satisfy him or was just nonsense, Tang Rao would surely confront Zhang Wang.
"Boss, I'm just telling what I read from ancient texts. Although the color is indeed bad, if you're unsatisfied, I can give you the ancient texts, and you can read it yourself."
Zhang Wang had done his best; whether he said it or not, it made him uneasy.
"Do your best? Then tell , I won't bla you."
Even though Tang Rao felt ready, his hands couldn't help but tremble slightly as Zhang Wang spoke.
"In the Divine Realm, there's a saying, the redder and clearer the color, the better; the greener and darker, then it's a symbol of darkness and evil. I always sensed sothing unique about sister-in-law; I saw this once in a strange person years ago, but I almost forgot about him."
Zhang Wang talked at length, but hadn't gotten to the point.
"Don't talk nonsense, just tell what's up with Li Qi Qi?"
Tang Rao was tense; Li Qi Qi had suffered so much in her life, now she was with Tang Rao, finally seeing better days, only to find she had an evil physique; how would Tang Rao cope with this?
"Tang Rao, does this an I can't be with you anymore?"
Li Qi Qi's eyes were teary, appearing reluctant to leave Tang Rao.
"Silly, how could that be? It's just a test of strength, it doesn't an anything. Even if it's green, you're not fundantally bad, and you won't beco bad."
Though Tang Rao said this, his heart already skipped a beat.
He put his hand back in the water, just to check if the water, over ti, sohow turned green.
But when Tang Rao's hand went in, the water gradually turned colorless, was that the end? The water continued to change color, clearing up, then abruptly turning a bit red, evolving into a bright red.
This vibrant red, eerily beautiful, stood stark in contrast to the green earlier, like night and day.
How could it be, how could Tang Rao and Li Qi Qi be such opposites?
"Boss, be honest, when you ca up from the Land of Immortals, was it Jixing who brought you?"
Seeing the vibrant red, Zhang Wang's expression turned serious, quickly realizing sothing in between.
"Yes, Jixing insisted I co up, you know about Jixing?"
Oddly enough, after Tang Rao reached the Divine Realm, Jixing's appearances were significantly fewer than before.
"Of course I do. Do you know Jixing's status in the Divine Realm?"
Since Tang Rao admitted, Zhang Wang, seeing the red water, no longer found it strange.
"I don't know, he insisted I co up, saying he'd be punished if I didn't. I had no choice but to co up."
