Incident

Chu Li rolled her eyes at him. “I told you to save her, not to do it at the expense of your life.”

Su Xi’er followed behind Chu Li nervously and stuck her head out. At this moment, her two fingers were intertwined in front of her chest, and she looked apologetic and shy. Her cheeks were red. “Thank… Thank you…”

Her voice was very soft and after saying this, she slipped away and disappeared.

When she woke up that day, she immediately noticed that she was almost n*ked.

She then saw that Lin Chang`an had just fallen unconscious and instantly realized what had happened.

As this was the first time her body was seen by someone else, she felt like crying.

However, knowing that Lin Chang`an had done this to save her, she suddenly didn’t know how to face him.

Thereafter, she heard from Chu Li that Lin Chang`an had over-exhausted his power far past his body’s limits. Hence, this made her feel extremely touched to the point that she didn’t know what to do.

“Mn, as expected, you do like me…”

She felt a little warm inside. But why did Lin Chang`an not profess his love to her?

“Forget it. Maybe he’s shy too.”

Seeing that Lin Chang`an had woken up, she finally felt at ease.

However, she only dared to say thank you to her before she slipped away. She could feel her heart palpitating.

“You’ve over-exhausted yourself. I thought that you wouldn’t wake up,” Chu Li said and then twitched her lips. “It seems that you’re very good to this girl and are going to kick me, your boss, away after having made use of me.”

“Boss, stop fooling around.” Lin Chang`an propped himself up slowly and leaned against the pillow.

What seemed to be surpassing his limits to others was actually just hitting the limits for him. It was because his persistence was 1.5 times that of ordinary people.

To others, going through this level of depletion could mean that they might never wake up again.

To him, it was just a matter of slowly recovering.

At this moment, the woman who was wearing low-cut clothing looked very solicitous to please Lin Chang`an. However, he waved his hand. “We have no relations with each other. I was only paid to save you, so there’s no need to do this.”

“That’s not true, master.” The woman shook her head.

At this moment, the fatty Wan Botao spoke up, “Big Brother, I’m gifting her to you”

“Mn? The reason you saved her is to give her to me?”

“Of course.” The little fatty nodded. “I was planning on giving her to Big Brother from the very beginning.”

He then took out a contract.

This was the contract the fatty had signed with this woman to sell her body for ten years. However, he had changed the master of the contract to Lin Chang`an.

It only required Lin Chang`an’s acceptance for him to become this woman’s master, and she wouldn’t be able to go against any of his orders.

Looking at this, Lin Chang`an stroked his chin. This fatty was a little interesting.

Before he could say anything, the fatty continued, “Erm, Big Brother, there’s another matter…”

“What?”

The fatty looked troubled. “For the remaining $300,000… Can I owe you the money first?”

“Isn’t your father very rich?”

“My father said that since I sneaked out by myself, then I deserve it even if I were to encounter danger and die. He also said that he wants to see me without money, so you will beat me up into a cripple in anger and I will learn something from this lesson…”

His bodyguard was a third-realm expert, but he had sneaked out by himself to meet an online friend, not bringing the bodyguard with him.

Otherwise, how could he have been in danger?

Lin Chang`an felt helpless when he heard this. He then looked at the woman.

He had received $300,000. In addition to this woman, his rewards were far from what he deserved.

If this contract was put onto the official website, it wouldn’t be a problem to sell it for $300,000.

If it wasn’t for the fact that it was a life or death situation, this woman would definitely not have signed that contract.

Given her looks and age, and also the fact that she was born with a body that could bring extreme s*x pleasure to men, many first-realm cultivators would bid for her in an auction.

This was especially so for those who cultivated both the yin and yang path, or those who were comprehending dual cultivation. They would definitely be willing to pay an immensely high price.

But of course, he wasn’t planning to sell her away.

“Forget it. So be it then.”

(I was wondering why you gave me this woman.)

He waved his hand, not continuing to harp on this topic.

“Big Brother, don’t worry. Once my account is unlocked, I’ll transfer you the money right away!”

“No need.” Lin Chang`an smiled.

“Big Brother, there’s one more thing.”

“What is it?”

“Are you short on money?”

“Not for now.”

He still had $200,000 on him and this was enough for now.

Although he’d be using more money after opening up the spirit sea and rising to the first realm, that was something to consider after the unified examination. There was no hurry now.

After he had become stronger, it’d be easier to earn money.

For now, there was no need to be anxious.

The fatty looked disappointed. “Alright then. Big Brother, if you’re short on money in the future, you must come to look for me. The conditions I can offer are definitely better than anyone else.”

As he said this, he handed over a name card. “Big Brother, I’ll be leaving then. If I still don’t go back, my father will probably break my legs.”

Lin Chang`an received the name card that was made with gold thread and took a look.

All the words on it were written in gold thread and decorated with a spirit diamond. Just this name card alone would cost at least $20,000.

Lin Chang`an then sighed and thought to himself. “As expected of the rich.”

However, there were probably only a few pieces of such name cards.

Chu Li smiled and said, “I haven’t asked you about it yet. You’ve been hiding your real strength from me all this while?”

Lin Chang`an tried to pass things off. “It was an unexpected breakthrough.”

Chu Li didn’t let things end like this. “With such a high qi and blood value, wouldn’t you be able to earn a higher salary elsewhere than if you were to work for me? As expected, you like me, right?”

She smiled alluringly.

Lin Chang`an rolled his eyes. This woman was too much of a narcissist.

He then started to circulate his cultivation art and nourish his body.

“There are 16 more days until the unified examination. I must focus on my cultivation seriously now…”

He started to silently absorb the heaven and earth spirit qi.

“Tsk.” Chu Li clicked her tongue.

She then sashayed away and left quickly.

…

On the other side, Su Xi`er, who was in a room on the first floor, was feeling extremely nervous.

“Will Lin Chang`an profess his love to me right now? What should I do?”

“Should I agree? But to him… Am I too out of reach? Moreover, he’ll be targeted.”

“But if I don’t agree…”

“Oh my, my mind is in a mess.”

As she continued to feel at a loss, Lin Chang`an didn’t come to knock on her door.

After that, she didn’t sleep for the entire night and continued to wait on the second day with dark eye circles. However, nothing happened.

“Is he too nervous? He doesn’t dare to profess either, right?”

“Mn, that must be it!”

On the third and fourth days, the confession she was waiting for still didn’t happen.

“What’s with Lin Chang`an?”

“What’s wrong with him?”

Su Xi`er felt a little gloomy.

“Could it be that the reason why he tried so hard to save me isn’t because he likes me? That can’t be!”

Lin Chang`an hadn’t stopped cultivating all this while.

When he felt tired, he would run simulations and grind talents. He lived a very fulfilling life.

…

At this moment, in the Rong Clan Corporation.

Rong Clan Corporation’s chairman, Rong Shigui, had a gloomy expression on his face as he looked at a corpse in front of him.

It was dried and shriveled, looking like an old man who was over 100 years old.

One would only notice upon a closer observation that this corpse was the second young master of the Rong Clan who had just attained a breakthrough to the second realm!

“There’s only one death in that dungeon’s maze. Right now, it has been completely sealed up. This is definitely not an accident! Someone was out to kill my son intentionally!”

His eyes were red, encompassing great rage.

He was the proudest of this second son who had the greatest talent amongst all his children.

His second son had attained the second realm at the age of 25 and had limitless prospects in the future.

But to think that he was killed in the dungeon!

This was equivalent to wanting to destroy the Rong Clan Corporation’s future!

The subordinate next to him trembled, not daring to say anything.

“Investigate! Go check on everyone who’s entered or left the dungeon during this period!”

“Chairman Rong… Recently, many people from other cities have entered the dungeon…” said the subordinate while trembling.

The Rong Clan Corporation could have their way in Qindao City, but out of this city, they were just considered to have a bit of fame in the Jiangbei Province.

If they were to offend major figures, a huge problem might arise.

“You fool! Don’t you know how to investigate things?”

“Yes!”
