No one notified me in advance. Everyone in the end times is crazy.

Chapter 352 Hercules' Grip

"I never thought I would agree to let that guy stay here."

Jiangnan sat in front of the dressing table to remove her makeup, only to find that Li Danqing's jade hairpin was still on her head.

"Remember to return this hairpin tomorrow."

Feeling sleepy, Jiangnan put the jade hairpin on the table and went to bed.

When I woke up the next day, I found the hosta hairpin was on my head.

Jiangnan's first reaction was that Lie Danqing had sneaked into her room last night. She put on her clothes and rushed straight to the villa where Lie Danqing lived.

Lie Danqing, who was still pruning flower branches, had no time to react when he was punched in the face.

He covered his face in pain and muttered, "Hiss~ Are you so energetic so early in the morning?"

"You rascal bastard! Go to hell!"

Lie Danqing dodged the second punch easily by turning sideways, and stretched out his foot to trip Jiangnan, making him stumble. Seeing the other party's frustrated look, his mood instantly improved.

He even complained to the wicked: "Is there any justice in the world? You broke into someone's house early in the morning and started beating people without saying a word."

"You know what you did."

"What did I do? Did I make you unhappy because I walked out the door with my left foot first?"

Jiangnan pointed at the hairpin on his head and asked Lie Danqing to think about it. Unexpectedly, the other party praised him and said, "It suits you very well. Wear it."

"No merit, no reward. I'll give it back to you."

Jiangnan pulled out the hairpin and handed it to Lie Danqing. After taking two steps, the hairpin flew back to Jiangnan's head and shook twice, as if expressing dissatisfaction in this way.

"How is this going?"

"Isn't it normal for a divine artifact to have its own consciousness?"

"What artifact looks like a hairpin?"

Lie Danqing laughed heartily and explained, "Legend has it that after the death of Hercules, the god who can grant wishes, his body transformed into four divine artifacts, which took on different forms and scattered across the land. As for me, I was fighting someone in a certain dimension when I casually broke off a branch to block the opponent's sword. By chance, I obtained this artifact, and since then, it has become a hairpin and has taken root in my head."

"It's truly rare to have a mind of your own and be able to change your appearance at will."

Seeing her interest, Lie Danqing continued, "The four artifacts are named Hercules' Head, Hercules' Grip, Hercules' Heart, and Hercules' Boots. Legend has it that if you gather all four, you can summon the god Hercules to grant you any wish."

"What about the one on my head?"

"Hercus's Grip, it's actually a sword."

When Jiangnan heard that this thing was so valuable, he decisively returned it.

"Don't waste your energy. It no longer recognizes me. If you feel bad about it, just think of it as a token of love from me."

Jiangnan cursed, "You want to die, Li Danqing!" and pulled out the hairpin on her head and threw it at him.

"it's useless."

The hairpin drew a perfect arc and returned to Jiangnan's head.

Jiangnan shouted at the hairpin on her head: "Are you a dog-skin plaster? He is your master!"

Then he shouted at Lie Danqing, "Take your hairpin away!"

Lie Danqing shrugged, indicating that he was unable to help.

"I can see that you like the token of love I gave you very much."

"Which eye are you looking at? Your pee eye?"

"Since you like it so much, I will reluctantly help you collect the four artifacts of Hercules."

"How did you know I liked it?"

"From ancient times to the present, there have been countless cases of people killing people to steal treasures. This artifact is like a hot potato in my hands. And you want to collect all four? Do you think I'm too old?"

Lie Danqing saw her concerns, smiled playfully, and said, "That guy named Tian Changliu has one in his hand, but I don't know which part it is."

"How did you know?"

"They are one and the same. It's normal for them to resonate with each other, right?"

After a while of silence...

Jiangnan rushed into the list again and threw away her hairpin.

"I'm going to give you this hot potato!"

"Don't ask for it. I've already given it to you as a token of love. There's no point in asking for it back."

"I don't want it! Give it back to you!"

"It's useless, it's useless."

Jiangnan was panting exhaustedly. The hairpin seemed to be welded to his hand and he couldn't get rid of it no matter what.

"Okay, don't be disgusted. Try it and maybe you won't want to throw it away."

"how to use?"

"Just shout and use it."

"I feel like you are teasing me." Jiangnan said this, but still did as Lie Danqing said and shouted to use it.

……

Nothing happened.

Lie Danqing's face flushed red, and he turned around and laughed at him mercilessly.

"Oh, I knew you were kidding me."

"Hahaha! How could anyone actually believe that? Ouch! My stomach hurts from laughing so hard!"

"Oh, I don't believe what you say anymore."

"No! I won't tease you anymore. Just close your eyes and feel it as if it were a part of your body."

Jiangnan closed his eyes half-believingly and did as he said.

The hairpin in his hand turned into a blood-red long sword, and the hilt turned into a tentacle extending up his arm, forming armor together with his shoulder.

"Okay, open your eyes."

After hearing Lie Danqing's instructions, Jiangnan opened his eyes and saw the long sword integrated with his right arm. He was so shocked that he was speechless.

"Is this what the Hercules Grip really looks like? How cool! It's like it was born on my hand."

"Not only that! It can also attack on its own. Try to imagine me as the enemy."

Jiangnan only felt that her strength was forcibly drained away by the sword in her hand, and her body was led by the sword, using sword techniques that she had never heard of before.

Lie Danqing put his hands behind his back and dodged calmly.

After trying a few moves, Jiangnan fell to the ground exhausted, without even the strength to move a finger.

"It's powerful, but unfortunately it consumes too much energy. If I were to use it in actual combat, I would fall before the enemy."

Lie Danqing squatted in front of her and asked, "Can you move now?"

Jiangnan didn't say anything, the answer was already obvious.

Lie Danqing poked Jiangnan's face and said with a wicked smile, "You know what? Now you are completely at my mercy. I'll give you a chance to guess what I want to do."

Jiangnan stared at him with wide eyes.

"You dare!"

Liedanqing didn't care about that and picked up Jiangnan and walked towards his room.

Inside the house, a large pot was placed on the burning fire. The green liquid in the pot was bubbling and emitting a faint fishy smell.

With a "plop" sound, Lie Danqing casually threw Jiangnan into the pot to cook.

After a while, Jiangnan poked his head out of the pot, spat out a mouthful of green water, and cursed: "List clear you bastard! Do you know how to be gentle with women?"

"Wow! You've recovered your strength after just a short soak? You have quite the talent."

"Huh?" Jiangnan only then realized that his strength was recovering at an extremely fast speed.

"Could it be that this guy planned everything in advance? Prepared it in advance?"

"What are you daydreaming about? You should soak your head in it too. This potion is hard to come by."

Jiangnan was startled, took a deep breath, and buried himself in the water.

Lie Danqing sat beside the fire and started adding firewood to the flames. As he raised his hand, the bandage on his wrist was still oozing red.

Luo Shiyu felt strange when he saw Lie Danqing was injured, but he didn't think much about it.

[Teacher, it seems like he didn't even touch the edge of his clothes? How did he get hurt? Never mind, it has nothing to do with me.]
