Chapter 79
Chapter 79: Women are Fickle Creatures, Men are Big Oafs!
“Qingqiu, shall I escort you home?” Jiang Che turned to Shen Qingqiu with a smile.
“Sure.” Shen Qingqiu nodded. With Ye Chen gone, there was no point in staying.
As they were about to leave, Zhou Lingxi called out from downstairs, “Jiang Che, Yun’er needs you.”
“What does she want?” Jiang Che turned, puzzled.
“She has a gift for you, to thank you for saving her,” Zhou Lingxi said, glancing at Shen Qingqiu suggestively.
“Xiao Che brother, you should go see her. I’ll wait for you here,” Shen Qingqiu said, glaring at Zhou Lingxi. She clearly understood the insinuation in Zhou Lingxi’s words.
Jiang Che nodded without further comment and headed upstairs.
“Sister, aren’t you worried your man will be stolen by Yun’er?” Zhou Lingxi teased playfully. “After all, which man could resist such a cute little loli like Yun’er?”
“Shut up!” Shen Qingqiu snapped back at her, annoyed.
Then Zhou Lingxi realized she had been too rash and her face turned awkward. She had forgotten Jiang Tungji was still there.
“Junior Sister, why do you look so gloomy?” Shen Qingqiu asked Gu Yunqi, noticing her unhappy demeanor. She was unaware of Ye Chen’s kidnapping of Gu Yunqi’s sister.
“Ye Chen kidnapped my sister…” Gu Yunqi replied, her voice tinged with bitterness. “Now that he’s dead, I have no idea where to find her.”
“Don’t worry, good people are blessed. I’ll spread the word and ask the Shen family to help search,” Shen Qingqiu reassured her.
“I hope so…” Gu Yunqi sighed.
In Jiang Yun’er’s room upstairs, Jiang Che entered and sat on a chair beside the bed.
“What do you want?” he asked, curious about her intentions.
“Brother, thank you for saving me today…” Jiang Yun’er shyly said, her cheeks blushing and her voice soft.
“Don’t thank me. I had a grudge against him, and you’re Qingqiu’s junior sister. It was only right,” Jiang Che replied, feeling a flutter in his heart.
“It’s different… Brother, come closer, I have something to tell you.”
“What’s wrong?” Jiang Che sat beside Jiang Yuner’s bed and asked in confusion.
“A little closer…”
As Jiang Che leaned in, Jiang Yun’er suddenly kissed his cheek. “Thank you, brother, this is a reward…” she said shyly, then covered her head with the blanket, hiding her embarrassment.
“This little girl…” Jiang Che chuckled, touched by her gesture.
“It’s late, time to sleep,” he said and left her room, gently closing the door behind him.
Once Jiang Che had gone, Jiang Yun’er peeked out, her cheeks still warm. “Brother is so handsome,” she mused dreamily.
“But Brother already has Senior Sister…” she thought sadly. Then, brightening up, she considered, “I could be his concubine!” Convinced, she believed she could persuade Shen Qingqiu and win Jiang Che’s affection.
Imagining a future with Jiang Che, her cheeks flushed with happiness.
“Let’s go home,” Jiang Che yawned as he walked downstairs, looking at Shen Qingqiu. After a whole night of commotion, he was quite tired.
“Okay,” Shen Qingqiu nodded and followed Jiang Che out of the Jiang family’s gate, with Gu Yunqi closely behind them.
As for the mess left behind, Jiang Tungji would have someone take care of it. Zhou Lingxi stayed back to look after Jiang Yun’er, considering her injuries hadn’t completely healed.
…
“Jiang Che, can I ask you for a favor?” Outside the Jiang family’s gate, Gu Yunqi bit her lip and looked at Jiang Che. With the Jiang family’s vast influence, Jiang Che’s help would significantly smooth the process of rescuing Gu Yunqi’s sister.
“What is it?” Jiang Che raised his eyebrows, looking at Gu Yunqi with a playful expression.
“My sister was kidnapped by Ye Chen. I want to ask for your help in finding her.”
“I can, but I don’t like working for free. What can you offer me in return?” Jiang Che’s gaze blatantly roamed over Gu Yunqi, his intentions clear.
“I can give you money…” Gu Yunqi sighed, trying to suppress her anger and feign ignorance.
“Do you think I need money?” Jiang Che laughed disdainfully. He didn’t lack money; he still had billions unspent in his account.
“Then what do you want?”
Jiang Che walked to Gu Yunqi’s side and whispered a few words in her ear. “I’ll help you find your sister, but afterward, you have to…”
“You’re shameless!” Gu Yunqi blushed furiously at his suggestion.
“If you find this unfair, we don’t have to make the deal,” Jiang Che shrugged nonchalantly. He knew she would agree; she valued her sister more than anything.
“Fine, I agree!” Gu Yunqi said heavily, “But you must bring my sister back unharmed.”
“Deal, Miss Gu. Wait for my good news,” Jiang Che said mysteriously and then left in Shen Qingqiu’s car.
…
At Crouching Dragon Villa, Jiang Che arrived when the sky was almost bright. Ah Qing had already fallen into a deep sleep.
“System, open the attribute panel.”
Host: Jiang Che
Identity: Jiang Family’s Eldest Young Master
Cultivation: Late Innate Stage
Villain Points: 8000
Techniques: “Limitless Pure Yang”
Owned Items: Mysterious Treasure Box ×1, Human Infant Burp Bag ×100, Marrow Cleansing Pills ×5, Good Luck Charms ×3, Kitchen Knife ×1, Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles.
“Open the mysterious treasure box.”
“Ding, opening the mysterious treasure box.”
“Ding, congratulations to the host for acquiring the technique Mysterious Heavenly Scripture.”
…
“System, introduce Mysterious Heavenly Scripture.” Jiang Che looked at the technique rewarded by the system, feeling a bit excited. His intuition told him that this technique was not that simple.
“‘Mysterious Heavenly Scripture is an internal cultivation method of the Xuan Tian Sect, which can be cultivated up to the Shattering Void Realm.”
“Can be cultivated up to the Shattering Void Realm?”
Jiang Che gasped, admitting to himself that he was shocked. His current technique, “Limitless Pure Yang,” could only be cultivated to the peak of the Innate Stage.
He had been worrying about the cultivation method, but he didn’t expect to directly obtain the Mysterious Heavenly Scripture.
“Let’s upgrade the cultivation tomorrow.” Looking at his remaining villain points, Jiang Che felt tempted but quickly suppressed the urge and lay down on the bed, falling asleep soundly.
…
The next day, around noon. Jiang Che groggily opened his eyes, got up from the bed, and went to the backyard to upgrade.
“System, upgrade cultivation.”
“Ding, deducting 5000 villain points, upgrading ‘Limitless Pure Yang.”
After about two hours, Jiang Che slowly opened his eyes.
Peak Innate Stage, achieved!
Feeling the more abundant internal energy in his body, Jiang Che was somewhat excited. Indeed, his efforts in tricking Ye Chen were not in vain. This feeling of being full of power was truly great.
“System, I want to accept the new plot.” Jiang Che stood up, dusted off his clothes, and spoke to the system in his mind.
“Ding, plot transmission in progress…”.
