Stop pretending, I'm a security guard, a five-star general!

"Ding! Selection complete. Reward received: Wood Vine Entanglement skill strength +30%."

Hearing the system notification in his ear, a smile appeared on Qin Yu's lips.

This skill's power boost from the vine-entanglement attack has been maximized, making it an absolute steal.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but want to test the current strength of the wooden vine binding.

With a slight thought, he saw several incredibly thick wooden vines burst from the ground, climbing up Lin Qingxue's legs and wandering freely over her entire body, quickly binding all four of her limbs and rendering her unable to move.

Lin Qingxue was immediately startled and looked at Qin Yu with an angry expression:

"Qin Yu, what are you doing?"

Qin Yu chuckled and scratched his head: "Don't be nervous, I just want to test the current strength of my skill."

Lin Qingxue's forehead was covered in black lines: "Then why didn't you try it on Liu Damao and the other two?"

"The two of them are too weak to be effective in the experiment."

Upon hearing this, Liu Damao and Li Xiaoke both gave Qin Yu the middle finger.

Lin Qingxue: "..."

"Thank you, it's my blessing to have you."

"Hey, you're welcome."

Lin Qingxue shook her head speechlessly: "How do you want me to try?"

"Now use all your strength and see if you can break free from these vines," Qin Yu said earnestly.

"alright."

Lin Qingxue nodded somewhat reluctantly.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and his muscles tensed violently as he tried to tear the vines apart. To his surprise, he found the vines incredibly hard, remaining completely unmoved.

He even clung to her more tightly!

Lin Qingxue frowned slightly.

This time, she directly used the power of her S-rank ice-type talent, unleashing countless sharp ice spikes in an attempt to tear apart the wooden vines wrapped around her.

However, when these ice spikes scratched the wooden vines, it was as if they were scratching extremely hard cement and steel bars, only making a few shallow cracks. Then, in the blink of an eye, thanks to the super-strong self-healing ability of the wood element, they were restored to their original state.

Upon seeing this, Lin Qingxue's heart was filled with turbulent emotions.

Just a while ago, she could easily cut through these vines.

But now, it seems we can't break through their defenses at all!?

Her eyes widened suddenly, and she looked at Qin Yu with disbelief.

This guy seems to spend all his time eating, drinking, and having fun, without seriously cultivating, so why is he progressing so rapidly?

Are they secretly engaging in internal competition behind the scenes?

Just as she was stunned, she suddenly felt a strange movement in the groin area.

She looked down, and her face instantly darkened. Veins bulged on her forehead.

One of the vines, like a thick python, burrowed straight into her skirt.

Lin Qingxue was immediately enraged and looked at Qin Yu with murderous intent:

"You pervert, what are you doing!"

Upon seeing this, Qin Yu was also taken aback, and spread his hands innocently, saying:

"It's really not my fault. I didn't control it; it moved on its own."

"You!" Lin Qingxue's face turned bright red with anger and embarrassment as she said, "Take these vines back right now!"

"Oh oh."

Qin Yu quickly nodded, removed the wooden vines binding Lin Qingxue, and explained again with a sincere expression:

"Xiao Xue'er, I'm truly innocent, you must believe me!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingxue angrily pinched Qin Yu's waist hard, pouted, and said sullenly:

"If the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too; if the master is despicable, his rattan will be even more so!"

"Ouch, ouch, ouch!" Qin Yu's face instantly contorted in pain. "Xiao Xue'er, could you trim your nails? I feel like you've scraped my flesh off!"

"Stop pretending, I didn't use much force, okay?" Lin Qingxue said speechlessly, then looked down and found something under her fingernails.

"Hey, why is there shredded meat in here?"

Qin Yu: "..."

……

Meanwhile, on the highway.
