《Male Sword Immortal in a Matriarchal World》 Chapter 1 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios In a daze, Chu Qing felt that someone was leaning on him¡ªan alluring, graceful body pressed against his chest. He opened his eyes and suddenly let out a scream. He pushed the beautiful woman away and wrapped himself in his sleeping robe before jumping out of bed. ¡°W-What¡­ are you doing?¡± Chu Qing¡¯s voice trembled. A large amount of information surged into his mind and he was stunned for a long time. ¡°Oh, you¡¯re awake.¡± In front of him was a woman who looked to be about 24 or 25 years old. She had distinct facial features and a rather sweet appearance. Her long black hair fell over her shoulders and fair collarbones as she lay on the bed languidly. She lit a cigarette elegantly and breathed out an orchid. As if talking to herself, she said, ¡°Has the effect of the medicine worn off so quickly? Heh, forget it. You being awake makes it more interesting!¡± As she spoke, she flicked her long hair enchantingly and stared at Chu Qing in an extremely charming manner. ¡°Come here, baby.¡± F*ck! What in the world is happening?! Before Chu Qing fainted, he muttered with a pale face, ¡°I¡­ was reborn?¡± ¡°And I was drugged by a woman?¡± If he hadn¡¯t woken up in time, he probably would have died long ago. ¡°Well, we seem to have a misunderstanding!¡± Chu Qing hurriedly grabbed his clothes and was about to leave. ¡°Trying to leave?¡± The woman frowned slightly and revealed a displeased expression. ¡°Why don¡¯t you go and ask around? When did I, Ye Chenxi, get rejected by anyone? Besides, it¡¯s your blessing that I like you!¡± As she spoke, she lifted the bedsheets, revealing a slender body. She grabbed Chu Qing with her slim, fair arms. Chu Qing dodged instinctively without appreciating her flirtatious move. As soon as he touched her petite hand, he felt a huge force, causing his expression to change drastically. ¡°What¡¯s this terrifying strength?!¡± Chu Qing hurriedly rolled away to dodge the woman. Then, he pounced on the door with a whoosh, running wildly after opening the door! ¡°Interesting. He actually managed to dodge my Palm Strike.¡± Ye Chenxi did not chase after him. She held the cigarette between her lips and smiled leisurely. ¡°Let¡¯s see where you can run to. Chu Qing, you¡¯re mine!¡± Chu Qing escaped from the hotel room and showed up on the street after a while. Looking at the traffic and tall buildings, he suddenly had the urge to cry tears of joy. I¡¯m finally back! 300 years! Back then, when he was roaming Qingcheng Mountain, he accidentally entered the cultivation world. From then on, he embarked on a cultivation life, feeding on morning dews and absorbing the moonlight. In the name of the sword, he bitterly cultivated the path of the sword and ascended himself through the tribulation! At the moment of ascension, the ascension path opened wide, and another vortex passage strangely appeared. At that time, Chu Qing did not hesitate to pass through it. Unexpectedly, he passed through countless voids, broke through the spatial barrier, and returned to Earth! However, as he regained consciousness, Chu Qing realized that something was wrong. He had indeed transmigrated to Earth, but he had transmigrated to the time when he was 17 years old. At that time, he had just entered his second year of high school. This world was completely different from his previous life. It could even be said to be strange! Not far away, a couple was seen arguing. The man covered his face and cried, while the woman looked impatient. She waved her hand behind her. ¡°Men are really troublesome. Isn¡¯t it just buying a bag? I¡¯ll buy it for you!¡± ¡°Darling, you¡¯re the best!¡± The boy smiled through his tears and took the initiative to hold the woman¡¯s arm. This scene sent a chill down Chu Qing¡¯s spine. But that was not all! On the streets, the patrolling traffic police and even the special police were all women. They looked valiant and heroic. Their eyes were not charming, but sharp. The taxi drivers were mainly women. Even the porters who unloaded the goods in the convenience store were women! At this moment, Chu Qing¡¯s face was completely pale! As the information in his mind was further digested, Chu Qing gradually understood that he had indeed transmigrated back to Earth. However, this world was different from what he knew. It was a world where women¡¯s power reigned supreme! During spring and autumn, a calamity struck and changed women¡¯s physiques, making them intelligent and strong. A woman named Kong Mo appeared out of nowhere that year. She proposed Confucianism and respected the inferiority of women! The emperor¡¯s power changed, and a princess succeeded the throne instead of a prince! Until the recent development, it was almost no different from the history of his previous life. However, it was a mother and daughter who founded the prosperous Tang Dynasty. In the Qing Dynasty, there was a man named Ci Xi, who was also known as the King of the Multi-Faced. He ruled the realm from behind the scenes and as a result, the eight countries invaded, and the humiliating years began. In the 21st century, Huaxia had entered the ranks of the strong. The impact of modern civilization caused Huaxia to start changing. However, even so, the phenomenon of favoring women over men still occurred in some poor areas. ¡°F*ck, this is ridiculous!¡± Chu Qing¡¯s cultivation was strong, but at this moment, his expression could not help but change. Regardless of whether it was a woman or man in power, in the end, the one with power was the one in control. In his previous life, Chu Qing, who had cultivated to the point of ascending, was not worried that his life would not be good in the future. Instead, the key was¡­ In this world, men had to marry and depend on women for their livelihoods! Women went out to support the family while men stayed at home to do housework and take care of children! When men were in an extramarital relationship, they would be said to be ¡°unscrupulous.¡± Meanwhile, women were the ones who were cheated on. Women chased after men, hit on men, and confessed to men. It was the most normal phenomenon. Yet, this was considered normal¡­ Chu Qing¡¯s face darkened. He was in a daze for a long time. He could only accept reality. After sighing, he helplessly walked towards his home. Just like in his previous life, his home was located in a dilapidated residential building. The address was still on the fifth floor, and it didn¡¯t seem to have changed at all. When he reached home and opened the door, he saw a middle-aged man cleaning up the house. The face that had appeared in his dreams countless times made Chu Qing¡¯s nose tingle. ¡°Dad!¡± He pounced on his father and held him in his arms. Lin Yuantu felt a little strange. He looked at his son strangely and pushed him away. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you were going to your classmate¡¯s house to play? Why are you back so early¡­¡± Then, he seemed to smell a woman¡¯s fragrance on his son¡¯s body. His expression changed drastically and he reprimanded, ¡°Did you go to a female classmate¡¯s house? How many times have I told you that it¡¯s very dangerous for a young boy like you to do that! Yes, I know you¡¯re classmates, but which girl these days isn¡¯t rebellious? Some girls are even more problematic! Watch this news for yourself!¡± His father grabbed a newspaper and pointed at an article on it. He said earnestly, ¡°A 15-year-old boy trusted a female classmate too easily and was filmed!¡± Seeing Chu Qing¡¯s dumbfounded expression, his father said, ¡°Are you afraid now?¡± ¡°This young man is ruined. The video was even uploaded online. The boy was unable to lift his head in the local area. I heard that his entire family can only move to another city!¡± Then, Lin Yuantu sighed and said, ¡°Your sister has been fooling around all day. It wasn¡¯t easy for her to get into a third-rate university. Now that she¡¯s graduated, she can¡¯t find a job and has to go home to live off her old age. Your mother and I don¡¯t count on her anymore. We just hope that you can get into a key university with some future. You¡¯re still young. Don¡¯t be deceived by a bad woman. In the future¡­¡± Chu Qing sweated when he heard that. He quickly found an excuse and said, ¡°Dad, I know. You don¡¯t have to worry about me.¡± ¡°By the way, where¡¯s Mom?¡± In her previous life, her father was a businessman who was busy outside. However, in this life, the tables had turned. Her mother had opened a company outside and was barely on the right track. ¡°Your mother is discussing business with someone outside. It¡¯s not easy to do business now. It¡¯s hard on her.¡± Lin Yuantu sighed. He wanted to help his wife, but there was nothing he could do. When Chu Qing saw his father acting like a full-time husband, he thought that he might become like this in the future. He immediately smiled bitterly. ¡°It¡¯s time to eat. I¡¯ll get Sis.¡± He walked to another tightly shut door. Thinking of his sister who was very close to him in his previous life, Chu Qing could not help but be excited. He subconsciously pushed open the door and walked in. ¡°You¡¯re so naughty. You only know how to keep me in suspense. Hurry up and untie the lower part of my pants.¡± ¡°Ah, you want me to tip you? No problem.¡± Chu Xiao laughed heartily and stared at the computer with shining eyes. She focused all her attention on the handsome boy on the screen and did not even notice Chu Qing enter. As for Chu Qing, her sharp eyes noticed that her sister¡¯s face seemed to be a little red. She put a hand down. On the computer table, there was a large pile of discarded tissues¡­ F*ck! Chu Qing was completely stunned! That¡¯s right, this scene was very familiar to every boy. Even before he accidentally entered the cultivation world, he often shared with his friends which female streamer¡¯s live broadcast was more ¡°interesting¡±! But now¡­ In his memory, she was gentle and quiet like a lady in his previous life! But now, she was like a hungry tigress staring at the male streamer. Moreover, it was a live stream that was not suitable for children¡­ Chapter 2 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Looking at her sister¡¯s glowing eyes and hearing her increasingly heavy breathing, Chu Qing tiptoed out of the room and gently closed the door. His face felt hot. To be honest, Chu Qing had never imagined such a situation to happen! Fortunately, his sister did not notice that he had entered the house. After thinking about it, Chu Qing deliberately knocked on the door and shouted, ¡°Sis, it¡¯s time to eat.¡± Indistinctly, Chu Qing heard the sound of tables and chairs colliding inside. Half a minute later, his sister, Chu Xiao, pushed open the door. Her slightly red face carried a hint of seductive charm. ¡°Sis, are you watching porn?¡± Although he did not expose his sister¡¯s ¡°good deed¡±, Chu Qing still teased her. ¡°Pfft, what¡¯s so good about porn? It¡¯s a trend to live-stream now! Hey, there was a handsome guy with a hot body just now. It¡¯s more satisfying to watch!¡± Chu Xiao grumbled, still unsatisfied. Then, she glared at Chu Qing and waved her hand. ¡°Hey, what¡¯s there to talk about with a little boy like you?¡± As she spoke, she swayed her hips and walked towards the bathroom. After a while, she came out in a set of seductive clothes. Walking towards the living room, she said impatiently, ¡°I¡¯m meeting a friend for dinner tonight. I¡¯ll be back later tonight.¡± ¡°You¡¯ve been home for more than half a month. You go out every day and fool around until two or three in the morning. Have you ever thought about your future?¡± Dad walked out with a bowl of fish soup. When he heard his daughter¡¯s words, his beard trembled in anger. ¡°Tsk.¡± Sis raised her eyebrows and snorted. ¡°Men are really short-sighted! Dad, I¡¯m going out to socialize. My friend dragged me to do business with her.¡± As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and said with a cheeky smile, ¡°Dad, give me a thousand yuan first.¡± ¡°What for?¡± ¡°I told you, it¡¯s a social gathering. We can¡¯t eat other people¡¯s food for free!¡± ¡°You!¡± Dad was about to die from anger. He blew his nose and glared at her. ¡°Look at you. If you were as obedient as your brother, your mother and I wouldn¡¯t have to worry!¡± ¡°Hmph, why should I learn from him? It¡¯s fine as long as a boy is quiet and gentle. Everything will be fine when he marries a rich woman in the future. As for me, I have to work hard for my career. Look, I have a friend who¡¯s in business. I¡¯ll learn from her.¡± Sis looked smug and shook her head. ¡°Besides, I¡¯ll have to support you and our mother in the future. What about Brother? A son who is married is like water spilled out of a bucket. So Dad, can¡¯t you treat me better?¡± Looking at his disappointing daughter, Dad was heartbroken. However, in the end, he could not hold back his nagging and took out a thousand yuan from his wallet. ¡°Save your money. It¡¯s normal for women to go out to socialize, but you can¡¯t act like a fool. Tell me, which of your alcoholic friends is really capable?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Dad. I¡¯m not that stupid!¡± Raising the banknotes, Sis giggled. Then, she put on her high heels and sashayed out of the house. Oh my goodness! Chu Qing took a deep breath. His face darkened and he looked like he was going crazy. Was this still his quiet sister from his previous life? ¡°Hey, Little Qing, don¡¯t learn from your Sis!¡± His father turned around and said seriously. ¡°Dad, you¡¯re letting Sis leave just like that?¡± Chu Qing was dumbfounded. ¡°What else can I do? Your Sis is a girl. Do you think I can tie her up at home as I did to you? Women should go out and fight, but your Sis¡¯ temper¡­ Forget it, as long as she doesn¡¯t cause trouble.¡± His father sighed and went into the kitchen for rice. Chu Qing was completely speechless. This f*cking feminist world! At that moment, his mother, Chu Tiannan, returned home with a tired expression. ¡°Mom!¡± Chu Qing finally saw his mother again after 300 years. Although it was different from what he remembered, that familiar face still made him greet her excitedly. That¡¯s right, in this world, children take their mother¡¯s surname! ¡°Qingqing.¡± Chu Tiannan looked at his son, who had pounced into her arms and was instantly overjoyed. She said happily, ¡°That¡¯s why I said that sons are Mommy¡¯s little cotton-padded jackets. Look at our good son. Tell me, is it because you don¡¯t have enough pocket money, so you act so coquettishly with me?¡± As she spoke, she took out a few hundred yuan with a smile and stuffed it into Chu Qing¡¯s hand. Chu Qing was shocked again. In his previous life, his mother was a miser. It would take him a long time to cheat a few yuan from her to go to an internet cafe to play games. Now, she took the initiative to give him money. ¡°Mom, I don¡¯t want it.¡± Chu Qing knew that his family¡¯s financial situation was not good. He shook his head and rejected. ¡°Silly boy, just take it. Our family is in a difficult situation now, but we won¡¯t let you suffer. Your good grades are the greatest comfort to me,¡± his mother said in relief. ¡°Where¡¯s Chu Xiao?¡± His mother asked casually. ¡°Don¡¯t mention her. That child went out to fool around again.¡± His father shook his head and sighed. ¡°So what if she¡¯s fooling around? Didn¡¯t I seduce you the same way back then?¡± After saying that, his mother threw her briefcase on the sofa and sat down casually. She glanced at her husband smugly. ¡°Am I right? Boys should be raised richly, and girls should be raised poorly. It¡¯s not a big deal for that girl to fool around outside! Girls will become sensible after experiencing challenges.¡± ¡°Yes, yes, yes. Honey, you¡¯re right.¡± Seeing his father eagerly pouring tea and water for his mother and even bringing the food and rice to his mother, Chu Qing¡¯s heart skipped a beat. Is this how a man lives in this world? Will I be the same in the future? I will never allow this to happen! Chu Qing¡¯s eyes darted around as he thought about his future path. After dinner, he couldn¡¯t be bothered to watch his mother lie on the sofa and watch television. His father started to clean the house like a diligent husband. Chu Qing ran back to his room. At first glance, he felt that the room was clean and generous. It did not look like a boy¡¯s room at all. It looked more like a girl¡¯s bedroom! There was even a full-length mirror embedded in the wall. Looking at the young and handsome boy in the mirror, Chu Qing smiled bitterly. New information appeared in his mind. For example, in this world, because women¡¯s power was respected, every family wanted to have a daughter in the past. After thousands of years of development, the gender ratio in the world was extremely different! Uh, in other words, there are still tens of millions of women in the country who are single! If a woman wants to get married, she has to have a house and a car to marry a good man. As for men, as long as they are handsome and delicate, it is fine. It is as if¡­ he is the marriage partner that countless women dream of. That¡¯s right! At this moment, Chu Qing finally remembered that he seemed to be the ¡°school belle¡± of Jinmen City¡¯s Second High School! F*ck! Chu Qing still couldn¡¯t believe it, but when he opened the desk drawer, it was filled with love letters. Almost all of them were written with his name! Looking at the contents of the love letters, they were nothing more than confessions toward him! It was impossible to believe that these mushy words came from the hearts of all the girls! ¡°Forget it, let¡¯s just accept it since it has already happened.¡± With a bitter smile, Chu Qing sat on the bed, crossed his legs, and closed his eyes. A moment later, he looked pleasantly surprised. ¡°My spiritual energy is so dense!¡± In his previous life, Chu Qing had joined the Heaven-Seeking Sword Sect in the cultivation world. His sword techniques were extraordinary. Although he had lost all his cultivation in the spatial passageway because he had broken through the realm and ascended, Chu Qing was still confident that he could regain his cultivation and open the spatial passageway again. ¡°To hell with this feminist world. I will not give in!¡± With a grunt, Chu Qing swore that he would return to that normal Earth as soon as possible. Then, he looked at the time. It was already 12:30 a.m. With a thought, he injected spiritual energy into his ears just as he was cultivating Peerless Flow Technique. He heard two peaceful breathing sounds coming from his parent¡¯s room. It was obvious that they had fallen asleep. When he heard the room next door, it was quiet. ¡°Sis isn¡¯t home yet?¡± Chu Qing was stunned for a moment before he came to a realization. In this world, women and men were reversed. It was not strange for them to head out until two or three in the morning. As he pondered, his phone on the table suddenly rang. Chu Qing grabbed the phone and looked at it. He picked up the call and said in surprise, ¡°Sis?¡± ¡°Little Qing!¡± Chu Xiao¡¯s anxious voice came from the other end of the phone. She panicked and said, ¡°Something happened to me. Listen to me first. Don¡¯t tell our parents, and don¡¯t call the police.¡± ¡°Ah!¡± ¡°There¡¯s a black bag under the bed in my room. Send it to me immediately. I¡¯m at the Crescent Bar on Seaside Street. I¡­¡± Before she could finish speaking, the phone was snatched away. Then, a woman¡¯s laughing voice came with a hint of coldness. ¡°Kid, if you want your Sis to be safe, obediently send that bag over! Room 302!¡± Chu Qing frowned and almost spat out a mouthful of blood. His intuition told him that his sister seemed to have caused trouble. Sigh! Women of this world! Shaking his head, Chu Qing quietly exited the room. A few seconds later, he walked out of his sister¡¯s room with a black luggage bag. Without making any sound of footsteps, his eyes were as bright as torches in the dark environment. ¡°I won¡¯t let anyone hurt my family!¡± As he muttered to himself, Chu Qing rushed to the window. In the next second, he swooped down and jumped down from the window on the fifth floor. In the darkness, his figure turned into a phantom, quickly disappearing into the night. Chapter 3 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Chu Qing soon arrived at Crescent Bar. As soon as he entered the bar, he saw a group of women swaying crazily on the dance floor, shaking their heads. The explosive DJ music made them extremely excited. Around them, there was no lack of handsome young men dressed up. However, they were all sitting in their seats. It was not until a girl went over to strike up a conversation that they happily walked to the dance floor to dance. ¡°President Wang, a few handsome guys just came. One of them looks extraordinary¡­¡± In fact, Chu Qing even saw a devilish man currying favor with a fat woman. The fat woman was dressed in branded clothes. When she heard this, she smiled with a lecherous gaze and followed the man into a private room. ¡°Hey, handsome, are you alone?¡± At this moment, a beautifully dressed woman walked past. The moment she saw Chu Qing, she approached him excitedly. ¡°No, thank you.¡± Chu Qing resisted the urge to curse and shook his head coldly. ¡°Yo, handsome, you¡¯re still a virgin, right? Do you want me to help you? It feels really great.¡± The woman wasn¡¯t angry. She smiled and leaned closer, breathing into Chu Qing¡¯s ear with an ambiguous gaze. ¡°Kid, you must be Chu Qing.¡± Not far away, a muscular woman walked over and narrowed her eyes as she asked rudely. Then, she turned around and glared at the woman who was hitting on him. She scolded, ¡°How dare you approach Sister Zhou¡¯s man? Get lost!¡± The woman¡¯s expression changed drastically when she heard that. She shrank in fear and bowed deeply, uttering, ¡°Miss Bai, I didn¡¯t know. I¡¯m sorry. Please tell Sister Zhou that I¡¯ll get lost now.¡± With that, the woman slapped herself hard and quickly retreated. ¡°Hmph.¡± The woman called Miss Bai smiled coldly and glanced at Chu Qing. Then, she brought him into Room 302. The light was a little dazzling. Chu Qing immediately saw his older sister Chu Xiao, who was being held by two burly women in the middle of the sofa. Her face was slightly pale, but she was still calm and did not show any signs of injury. This made Chu Qing heave a sigh of relief. He walked straight in and threw his luggage on the table. ¡°I¡¯ve brought the stuff. Let my Sis go.¡± ¡°Yo!¡± Just then, a woman who was seated in the center of the sofa looked up and revealed a hint of surprise on her pockmarked face, which was not particularly attractive. ¡°He¡¯s even a handsome boy. He¡¯s much more handsome than in the photos.¡± Zhou Yun stood up and walked towards Chu Qing with gleaming eyes. ¡°Handsome, how old are you?¡± Zhou Yun chuckled and sized Chu Qing up. The more she looked at him, the more satisfied she was. A sense of restlessness surged through her body, making her swallow her saliva. ¡°None of your business.¡± Chu Qing felt a chill down his spine. The woman¡¯s naked gaze made him very unhappy, and his attitude immediately turned cold. ¡°Haha.¡± Zhou Yun suppressed the anger in her heart and turned to look at the luggage bag on the table. She unzipped it and with a ripping sound, revealed stacks of cash. ¡°Ah!¡± Chu Xiao, who was sitting on the sofa, let out a cry of surprise. She did not expect the bag to contain a sum of money! Chu Qing, on the other hand, was very calm. He had already seen it when he came. Only his absentminded sister wouldn¡¯t know. However, to be honest, there was at least a million yuan in it. He didn¡¯t know how his sister got into such a mess! The next second, Chu Xiao came to her senses and her face turned paler. She hurriedly waved her hands and explained, ¡°Sister Zhou, I didn¡¯t know that this was your money. Little Lin is my best friend. When she gave it to me, she only said that it was her personal belongings and asked me to keep it for a period of time on her behalf.¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± Zhou Yun suddenly yelled and stared at Chu Xiao coldly. After a long time, she chuckled and revealed a sinister expression. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to have the guts to cheat me of my money! That b*tch Lin Xiaowan actually dared to cheat me of my money when she was working in my place. She¡¯s tired of living.¡± ¡°Get out of here before I get mad!¡± ¡°Thank you, Sister Zhou.¡± Chu Xiao had a look of lingering fear on her face. She broke free from the two women beside her and immediately jumped up. She pounced beside Chu Qing and pulled her brother away from the scene. ¡°Wait!¡± Zhou Yun suddenly shouted, her gaze as sharp as a sword. ¡°Who said he could leave?¡± ¡°Sister Zhou, you mean¡­¡± Chu Xiao¡¯s expression changed drastically. The next moment, she pounced in front of Chu Qing and spread her arms to protect him. She gritted her teeth and said, ¡°Don¡¯t even think about touching my brother!¡± ¡°Hehe, your brother is quite good-looking. He¡¯s still a virgin, right? I like him. Your brother will stay. Get lost!¡± Zhou Yun sneered and sat on the sofa. She poured a glass of red wine and stared at Chu Qing with her naked eyes as if she wanted to swallow him up. At the door of the private room, the sturdy Miss Bai blocked the door with an excited smile on her face. After Sister Zhou had her fill, lackeys like them could also feast on the young man.This guy¡¯s skin was soft and tender. The feeling of pressing him onto the bed would definitely be wonderful! The group of women¡¯s unbridled gazes made Chu Xiao feel a wave of fear. However, at this moment, Chu Xiao still braced herself and gritted her teeth. ¡°Sister Zhou, don¡¯t involve men in our matters. My brother is still young. Let him go.¡± ¡°Let him go?¡± Zhou Yun laughed out loud and lit a cigar. ¡°Go and ask around. I adore a man like him. He has thin arms and tender flesh. He¡¯s fair and beautiful. I¡¯ll be punished by the heavens if I let him off!¡± ¡°Alright, if you want me to let him go, I can do that. If your brother leaves, you stay. But if you stay, hehe, don¡¯t blame me¡­¡± Before he could finish, Chu Xiao said firmly, ¡°I¡¯ll stay!¡± With that, she turned around and forced a smile. ¡°Little Qing, go home first. Sis will go back later.¡± Chu Qing shook his head. He wasn¡¯t blind! If he really left Chu Xiao here, it was obvious that something bad was going to happen! ¡°Be good. You¡¯re a boy. It¡¯s not safe here. I was the one who caused this trouble. I¡¯ll settle it.¡± Chu Xiao smiled bitterly. ¡°Sis, do you think your brother is so disloyal?¡± Instantly, Chu Qing smiled and put on a bitter expression. ¡°Sis, let¡¯s discuss this. Can you not call me Little Qing? My name is Chu Qing!¡± After saying that, Chu Qing turned his head and looked at Zhou Yun, who was sitting on the sofa. He fought back the urge to vomit and shook his head. ¡°How dare you, an old woman, force me to stay?¡± What?! Zhou Yun and her lackeys were stunned when they heard this. How many years has it been? Sister Zhou has never been scolded like this before. Moreover, it¡¯s by a young man! As expected, Zhou Yun flew into a rage. She revealed a sinister smile, stubbed out the cigar, and yelled, ¡°Rascal, you¡¯re dead. Let me tell you, I¡¯ll handcuff you to the bed later and feed you a box of Via¡ª¡± BANG! Before she could finish speaking, she was slapped on the face. No one could see clearly. They only saw Chu Qing standing in front of Zhou Yun with his right hand in his pocket, looking calm and composed. ¡°Little Qing!¡± Chu Xiao was stunned. She covered her mouth and screamed in disbelief. ¡°Run!¡± ¡°Sis, watch this.¡± Chu Qing smiled calmly. He didn¡¯t even look at Zhou Yun, who was furious on the spot. He dodged the punch that came from behind. ¡°Go, catch him!¡± Zhou Yun let out an exasperated roar. She jumped up and pounced at Chu Qing. ¡°Interesting!¡± After punching the woman behind him, Chu Qing¡¯s eyelids twitched. Women in this world were indeed very strong! But! He was not afraid! ¡°You brat, lie down!¡± Behind him, Miss Bai howled like a bear. She suddenly erupted with immense strength and appeared beside Chu Qing with a stomp of her feet, grabbing Chu Qing with a vicious choke hold. ¡°Hmph, brute force.¡± Chu Qing shook his head and laughed as he formed a sword with his fingers. In the next moment, he swiftly pointed it at the woman¡¯s forehead. It was as if he had stabbed a balloon with a sword. Miss Bai¡¯s body suddenly paused and she let out a miserable scream like a pig being slaughtered. She was sent flying, crashing into the wall, and falling to the ground. ¡°Brat, how dare you!¡± Zhou Yun was furious. In less than half a minute, half of her lackeys had fallen. Her eyes emitted terrifying killing intent. She suddenly pulled out a black pistol from the waist of her pants. ¡°A gun, huh?¡± Chu Qing paused and looked surprised. Seeing that he did not move, Zhou Yun immediately laughed proudly. She gritted her teeth and scolded, ¡°Kid, let¡¯s see if your hand or my bullet is faster!¡± ¡°No!¡± Chu Xiao dashed in front of Chu Qing and said with a pale face, ¡°Sister Zhou, my younger brother is insensible. Please spare him.¡± She was also a little surprised. Clearly, she did not expect her younger brother to have such skills. But no matter how skilled he was, how could he compare to a gun? ¡°Stupid b*tch. Keep talking and I¡¯ll sell you off to the mountains.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you dare!¡± Chu Qing instantly shot out a sharp beam, and the surrounding women couldn¡¯t help but shiver. They felt that the temperature in the air seemed to have dropped to zero degrees. ¡°Let¡¯s see.¡± Zhou Yun laughed sinisterly. ¡°Since you want to court death, I¡¯ll fulfill your wish,¡± Chu Qing said indifferently and was about to attack. ¡°Haha, how could you not invite me to such a lively scene?¡± At this moment, the door of the private room was pushed open and a woman in a red tight dress walked in. Behind her were two women in black. They were like bodyguards and exuded a sharp aura. ¡°Hey, it¡¯s you, Chu Qing!¡± When the woman in the red tight dress saw Chu Qing, she was overjoyed. Chu Qing let out a strange cry and looked at this woman in shock. It was the woman he met in the hotel when he just transmigrated to this world. She was the one who wanted to force herself on him. ¡°What are you doing here?¡± Chu Qing was a little confused. ¡°Haha! Of course, I¡¯m here!¡± Ye Chenxi laughed loudly on the spot. She did not even look at Zhou Yun. ¡°Zhou Yun, I took a fancy to this kid first. It¡¯s none of your business. Get lost!¡± Zhou Yun¡¯s face turned ashen as she screamed, ¡°Are you trying to break the rules?!¡± ¡°Break the rules?¡± Ye Chenxi¡¯s eyes turned cold and her voice became low. ¡°Take her away. Break her arms and legs and throw her on the streets.¡± ¡°No, please! Boss Ye, I¡¯m wrong!¡± Zhou Yun was instantly frightened. As if she had realized something, she let out a fearful plea for mercy. The next moment, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed. ¡°A hand and a leg.¡± Ye Chenxi replied calmly. When the two women in black heard this, they walked up and carried Zhou Yun, who was lying limply on the ground, out with cold expressions. Not long after, the entire Crescent Bar fell silent. The music stopped, and at the same time, a scream suddenly echoed in the night sky. ¡°Chu Qing, this is my gift to you. Do you like it?¡± Only then did Ye Chenxi smile with her white teeth. ¡°Mind your own business.¡± Chu Qing frowned. If this woman hadn¡¯t appeared, he would have settled the matter long ago and left with his sister. ¡°Ah, you¡¯re the first man who dares to speak to me like that!¡± Under the surprised gazes of the two women in black, Ye Chenxi¡¯s eyes sparkled with surprise. She looked at Chu Qing from head to toe as if she was looking at a rare toy. ¡°You¡¯re special. Tsk tsk, so special. You¡¯re way different from those men! Hehe, I¡¯ve decided¡ªyou¡¯re my 36th boyfriend!¡± Chapter 4 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios F*ck! 36th?! Chu Qing¡¯s face darkened. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m not interested in you!¡± Chu Qing rejected her coldly. He finally remembered that Ye Chenxi seemed to be a member of society and was quite powerful in the underground world of Jinmen City. She had a younger brother called Ye Mao, who was in the same class as him. He went to this classmate¡¯s house to play today, but Ye Chenxi took a fancy to him. After that, Chu Qing recalled that she sent him home. He took a bottle of drink in the car and when he woke up, he witnessed the awkward scene in the hotel. In an instant, Chu Qing had the urge to curse. In his previous life, it was not uncommon for a man to drug a woman. But now, he had been drugged by a woman! No matter how thick-skinned he was, he could not say such words. For a moment, he hated the woman in front of him. ¡°Little Qing, let¡¯s go.¡± Chu Xiao was a little frightened. She could also see Ye Chenxi¡¯s feelings for Chu Qing. She was concerned that she had just gotten out of a difficult situation only to find herself in another. Thus, she quickly grabbed Chu Qing and attempted to leave the private room. Ye Chenxi, on the other hand, was all smiles and had no intention of stopping the siblings. ¡°Wait.¡± Chu Qing stopped his sister and said, ¡°Sis, wait for me outside.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Chu Xiao blinked and gritted her teeth. ¡°Little Qing, I¡¯m not leaving.¡± She actually regretted it a lot. As an older sister and a woman, she should have protected her younger brother. However, she had almost let her younger brother take the risk just now. If something really happened to him, she would never forgive herself. ¡°Sis, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯m fine. You saw it just now¡ªI¡¯m very skilled.¡± What¡¯s the use of a man being skilled? He¡¯s still useless in front of powerful women, just like me. Ye Chenxi thought when she heard him. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll be outside the door. If you need anything, just shout.¡± Chu Xiao hesitated for a moment and looked at Ye Chenxi, comparing her strength. In the end, she realized to her chagrin that if the other party were to use force, she and her brother would not be able to resist at all. But¡­ since this woman is interested in him¡­ Chu Xiao thought and suddenly felt excited. Ye Chenxi seemed to be very capable. If her brother married Ye Chenxi, wouldn¡¯t she have a big backer? If Chu Qing knew what Chu Xiao was thinking, he would definitely throw up blood. ¡°Little Qing, you¡¯re a boy. You have to be more reserved. Miss Ye won¡¯t do anything bad to you. Erm¡­ you guys can have a chat.¡± Chu Xiao retreated with a strange smile, making Chu Qing¡¯s scalp tingle. Fortunately, once Chu Xiao left, he no longer felt any pressure. He immediately raised his head and stared straight at Ye Chenxi. To be honest, Ye Chenxi was very beautiful! Chu Qing had seen many peerless beauties in the cultivation world, but Ye Chenxi was different from those calm and collected ones. She exuded wildness from head to toe. If any man saw her, they would have the desire to conquer her. However, in this world, women reigned supreme! ¡°Ye Chenxi!¡± Under Ye Chenxi¡¯s playful gaze, Chu Qing walked straight to her. He suddenly rolled up his sleeves and said calmly, ¡°Do you dare to arm wrestle with me?¡± ¡®Huh?¡¯ Upon hearing this, Ye Chenxi and her two lackeys were stunned. ¡°You mean, you want to compete with me in strength?¡± Ye Chenxi smiled and revealed a faint mocking expression. ¡°Have you forgotten the fact that you are a man? Besides, do you think you can beat me?¡± Nowadays, when men competed in strength with women, it was as laughable as a man saying that he wanted to earn money to support his family! ¡°Who said that men are inferior to women?!¡± Chu Qing¡¯s tone suddenly rose and a glint flashed across his eyes. ¡°Let¡¯s compete in arm wrestling. If you lose, you¡¯re not allowed to harass me in the future.¡± ¡°Fine!¡± Ye Chenxi laughed and said, ¡°But I have a condition. If I win, you will be my boyfriend.¡± ¡°Deal.¡± Under the teasing and disdainful expressions of the women, Chu Qing pushed the door open and walked out. ¡°Little Qing, as the saying goes, a good man doesn¡¯t fight with a woman. Look, Miss Ye is also very sincere. Why don¡¯t you give in to her?¡± Chu Xiao heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Chu Qing come out and approached him. ¡°Are you still my sister? You actually want me to be with a tigress?¡± Chu Qing didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry. Ye Chenxi walked out from behind. With a wave of her hand, the entire bar fell silent. In a few minutes, all the customers in the bar knew that a boy was going to compete with her. Yes, Ye Chenxi was a prominent figure in this area of Jinmen City! ¡°Hehe, a boy trying to compete with a woman in strength? Dream on!¡± ¡°I¡¯m not bragging, but I can devour such a delicate little boy!¡± ¡°Men are made of water, while women are made of iron. But young man, I¡¯m specially made for you.¡± The laughter and shouts of the girls came from below the stage, making Chu Qing¡¯s scalp tingle. He thought to himself that the women in this world were really bold! Chu Qing shrugged and no longer paid attention to the voices below because Ye Chenxi had already sat in front of him. ¡°Hehe, don¡¯t accuse me of bullying you. I will use my left hand to compete with you.¡± Ye Chenxi said confidently. ¡°You don¡¯t need to.¡± Chu Qing rejected her calmly and placed his right hand on the table. He did not believe that a man could lose to a woman. ¡°Hmph.¡± Suddenly, Ye Chenxi became furious and thought to herself that this guy really didn¡¯t know his own limitations. She vowed to mercilessly defeat him and make him realize the huge gap between men and women, just like the great divide between heaven and earth! ¡°Let the wrestle begin!¡± As the referee gave the order, the two of them began to wrestle. ¡°What great strength. The women of this world are indeed extraordinary.¡± At this moment, Chu Qing¡¯s heart skipped a beat. He clearly sensed a huge power coming from his arm, crazily forcing him to the side. ¡°Hmph.¡± Ye Chenxi revealed an indifferent expression. As for her lackeys, they looked at Chu Qing with disdain! ¡°It¡¯s better for you to admit defeat. Big Sis is the strongest in our block!¡± Chu Qing was unmoved. He narrowed his eyes and stared at Ye Chenxi. Although her arms were slender, they had a beautiful contour to them. Yet, beneath the delicate appearance of her limbs, lay a formidable strength. If the strength of an adult man in his previous life could lift 100 kg of weight, then the current Ye Chenxi could at least lift 300kg! But I¡¯m not an ordinary man either! Chu Qing let out a fierce roar in his heart as he activated the Peerless Flow Technique. He felt a surge of energy from his dantian, which flowed into his arm, empowering him. With a loud bang, it was as if a dragon had awakened and raised its mighty head! Chu Qing¡¯s entire right arm suddenly swelled up, and his muscles turned into a horned dragon, letting out a faint roar. With a bang, before Ye Chenxi could react, she felt a terrifying force striking her, pressing down on her until she could not breathe. Two to three seconds later, her entire right arm was pressed down by Chu Qing¡¯s arm. Then, she felt numbness and swelling pain. ¡°I won.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t forget our bet!¡± With a composed demeanor, Chu Qing stood up and began to make his way down from the arena casually. Ye Chenxi watched in utter shock as he made his exit. ¡°What?!¡± ¡°Am I seeing things? Big Sis actually lost to that little boy!¡± ¡°I mean, the thing is, even Big Sis couldn¡¯t resist it. Do you really think a guy could possess that kind of strength?¡± Amidst these discussions, an excited woman¡¯s voice suddenly erupted. ¡°That young man definitely doesn¡¯t have a girlfriend! That¡¯s why his arm is so strong!¡± Chu Qing almost stumbled and fell to the ground. The next moment, he touched his nose and pulled his stunned Sis away from the bar. ¡°Young man, come and have fun!¡± In the bar, the crazy women screamed non-stop. In the end, Ye Chenxi¡¯s face turned pale and she glared fiercely at the crowd. Everyone was so frightened that they kept quiet and shrank their heads, not daring to say another word. ¡°Sister Ye, I¡¯ll go kidnap that kid.¡± The lackey looked at Ye Chenxi guiltily with an obsequious smile. Ye Chenxi gave her a slap on the face. ¡°Get lost, I¡¯m not a sore loser!¡± With that, Ye Chenxi turned her head and stared straight at Chu Qing. The interest on her face intensified. ¡°Chu Qing, I have to say that you surprised me!¡± Ye Chenxi stood up with a smile and flicked her long hair. Then, she said, ¡°But don¡¯t forget that a young man like you is destined to snuggle under the wings of us powerful women. What I said just now is still valid. As long as you are willing, you are my new boyfriend and in Jinmen City, you can do whatever you want in the future!¡± ¡°Forget it.¡± Chu Qing couldn¡¯t stand this woman¡¯s arrogant attitude and retorted coldly, ¡°Who said that men are inferior to women?¡± ¡°Haha!¡± Upon hearing this, Ye Chenxi laughed unbridledly and shook her head. ¡°You¡¯re too foolish. Isn¡¯t this a fact that has been circulating since ancient times?¡± ¡°What¡¯s the use of men like you? There are many scholars and heroes in history who are all women. I don¡¯t deny that some men are outstanding, but we women are more useful to this society!¡± ¡°The sharpness of a sword comes from the grinding wheel, and the fragrance of the plum blossom originates from bitter cold!¡± ¡°Women are responsible for the rise and fall of the world!¡± ¡°Many poems in history have praised us, women. Men? Haha, they can only stay at home and take care of our children.¡± Ye Chenxi shook her head as she spoke. No one knew what she was sighing about. Her words also received the approval of the women present. Even most of the men revealed expressions of agreement. Because this was indeed the truth. In the history of this world, women were the dominant force in society, and men were just vassals. Looking at this scene, Chu Qing was speechless. ¡°You said that there are many poems that praise women? So what?!¡± ¡°Speaking of myself, I am confident in my abilities to achieve great feats and inspire admiration. I have the strength to move mountains and an unparalleled aura. I could live as a distinguished figure and die as a hero!¡± At this moment, Chu Qing took a step forward and stared at Ye Chenxi. He enunciated each word clearly and his tone was high-spirited! ¡°I¡¯m also aware that the universe is powerful, and as a man, one should continuously strive for progress!¡± ¡°A golden dragon is not meant to be confined to a mere pond, for it can transform into a dragon when the winds and clouds arise!¡± ¡°With my heart still youthful, I hold a yellow banner in my left hand and wield the bluish-green sword in my right. Like the full moon, I draw my bow and aim at the Sirius star!¡± ¡°With a sickle, brave men conquered the vast, mighty realm!¡± In the end, the corners of Chu Qing¡¯s lips curled up into a devilish smile. ¡°Drunk, I recline at the beauty¡¯s feet. Awake, I grab the sword and face the enemy!¡± ¡°That¡¯s how a real man should be!¡± Chapter 5 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios After Chu Qing finished speaking, he grabbed his sister and left. The group of women present were stunned, their faces filled with shock. These words¡­ actually came from a man? After Chu Qing left, the women stopped teasing him. Even someone as arrogant as Ye Chenxi was influenced by Chu Qing¡¯s imposing words. ¡°Sister Ye, this¡­¡± Ye Chenxi¡¯s lackey looked at Ye Chenxi and hesitated. ¡°Ha, you find it unbelievable too?¡± Ye Chenxi¡¯s face was gradually filled with smiles. ¡°A wild man? This is what I, Ye Chenxi, like. Chu Qing, don¡¯t even think about escaping!¡± Ye Chenxi licked her lips and said slowly. At this moment, the lackey beside her lowered his head to look at her phone. Suddenly, she crouched beside Ye Chenxi and said, ¡°Oh right, Sister Ye, the family is urging you to go back. You¡¯re also aware that they¡­¡± ¡°Go back? Bullsh*t! I¡¯ve only been out for two days. How can I go back now?¡± Ye Chenxi raised her eyebrows. The woman in black beside her immediately stopped talking. On the way home, Chu Xiao kept smiling sheepishly at Chu Qing, her expression full of flattery. ¡°Little Qing, Sis wants to discuss something with you¡­¡± ¡°What is it?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t tell our parents about this, lest they worry.¡± At the mention of this, Chu Qing was furious. She was clearly an obedient sister. Why did she suddenly become this terrible girl? ¡°Not a chance.¡± Chu Qing¡¯s face was cold. He didn¡¯t want his sister to come into contact with these underground forces in the future. If he weren¡¯t around today, he couldn¡¯t guarantee that his sister could walk out of Crescent Bar unscathed. After all, he still planned to return to his original world. He could not guarantee that someone would come to save his sister in the future. ¡°Hey, brat, I¡¯m your Sis. Do you intend to threaten me with this?¡± Chu Xiao tried to act pitifully to get her way, but when she saw it wasn¡¯t working, she quickly changed her expression and put on a fierce look. Chu Qing¡¯s cold expression discouraged Chu Xiao. She was not used to Chu Qing¡¯s behavior today. It was as if he had suddenly changed into a different person. He was completely different from the Chu Qing who listened to everything she said. ¡°It¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t want me to tell them. But¡­¡± Chu Qing stopped mid-sentence. ¡°What?¡± ¡°You can¡¯t mix with those people anymore. Find a good job or go to Dad¡¯s¡­ Oh no, Mom¡¯s company to help her.¡± ¡°This is¡­¡± Chu Xiao was a little hesitant as if she wanted to play some tricks. However, when she saw Chu Qing¡¯s cold gaze, her heart suddenly tightened. ¡°Alright, I agree.¡± Hearing that, Chu Qing heaved a sigh of relief. His sister had given him a huge headache. After that, the tension between the siblings eased up. However, Chu Xiao still had no plans of forgiving Chu Qing. ¡°Little Qing is so domineering. Will he still be able to get married in the future?¡± Chu Qing was speechless. ¡°I think that Ye Chenxi is not bad. She¡¯s the heir of the underground forces in Kinmen City.¡± ¡°And?¡± ¡°And if you marry her, I¡¯ll be able to bask in her glory. Moreover, she happens to be a few years older than you. You¡¯re very compatible.¡± Chu Qing wished he could stuff Chu Xiao back into Crescent Bar. If not, he could just go to the bar and hide for a while. For the rest of the journey, Chu Xiao kept pestering her about Ye Chenxi. It was only when they reached home that Chu Qing hid in his room and successfully escaped from her clutches. ¡°Phew¡­ It¡¯s finally over. Now, we still have to see how to leave this strange world¡­¡± Chu Qing heaved a sigh of relief. Although everything in this feminist world had overturned his ability to think, the only thing that had not changed was his family¡¯s love for him. Even when his sister was in such a dangerous situation, she made him leave first to protect his safety. He sat on the bed and crossed his legs. His aura gradually eased, and a wisp of spiritual energy entered his abdomen through his breathing. The spiritual energy in this world was unexpectedly dense. From the looks of it, there might be cultivators in this world. It was easy for cultivators to appear in places with abundant spiritual energy. The Peerless Flow Technique began to coalesce spiritual energy spontaneously. His ears twitched slightly. He wanted to hear if the others were asleep. His parents seemed to be sound asleep, but his sister¡¯s room¡­ ¡°Young man, quickly take off your pants. I can¡¯t wait anymore¡­¡± Then, there was a series of rapid breathing. Chu Qing trembled and almost retreated from his cultivation state. Chu Xiao! She has just gotten into trouble and is still in the mood to watch live streams! Suppressing his anger, he retracted his perception and entered his inner dantian. He was physically weak and hadn¡¯t been able to cultivate his spiritual energy. He even had to give up the spiritual body he had cultivated in order to pass through the spatial passageway. So, if he wanted to open the passageway again, he would have to start from the beginning. Chu Qing smiled bitterly. It seemed like he had to stay in this world for a while. After cultivating for a few more hours, the sky began to brighten, and the spiritual energy in his body was almost saturated. The current spiritual energy was only enough for him to use a few spells. However, in such a modern city, the possibility of encountering danger was minimal. A few spells were enough for emergencies. ¡°Chu Qing, it¡¯s time to get up and go to school!¡± There was a knock on the door. Lin Yuantu¡¯s voice sounded after, followed by pots and pans. His father had woken up to prepare breakfast for him. Chu Qing held his forehead. In his previous life, his mother had prepared breakfast. Why did it feel so strange now? ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll get up now!¡± Chu Qing responded and rolled to sit up on the bed. Although he hadn¡¯t slept the entire night, the spiritual energy from cultivation made him look very energetic. After tidying up briefly, Chu Qing opened the door. At this moment, his father had already prepared breakfast. It was a glass of hot milk and sandwiches, just like before. ¡°Chu Qing, you have to study hard. We can¡¯t count on your Sis anymore. We don¡¯t even know what time she came home last night. You¡¯re different. We¡¯re still hoping that you can get into a good university and find a good job and a good family in the future¡­¡± Upon hearing this, Chu Qing¡¯s head hurt. Previously, his mother would brainwash him every morning. He did not expect his father to do the same now. ¡°Listen to me¡­ Go home early after school tonight. Don¡¯t go to the female classmate¡¯s house. An innocent boy like you¡­¡± ¡°All right, Dad, I¡¯m done!¡± Chu Qing didn¡¯t care how hot the milk was. He drank it in one gulp and left the house as if he was escaping. ¡°Sigh, this child¡­¡± His father shook his head and went to prepare breakfast for his mother. As Chu Qing walked, he felt his mind becoming a bit fuzzy, and he began to accept the strange environment around him. Actually, once he accepted this premise, it felt somewhat quite cute to him¡­ Pfft, cute? My a*s! Chapter 6 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Chu Qing, wait for me!¡± Chu Qing was headed toward the school when he suddenly heard someone calling him from behind. He turned around and saw that it was an old acquaintance. ¡°Hey, Dong, long time no see.¡± Chu Qing smiled and was in a good mood. This was Lin Dong, a few friends he had some impression of. His family was rather wealthy and he was very loyal to Chu Qing. However, in the next moment, Chu Qing¡¯s expression changed drastically! ¡°How is it long? It¡¯s only been a day¡­ Why do you look so strange?¡± Lin Dong shrugged and reached out to Chu Qing. ¡°Uh, hehe¡­ I remembered it wrongly.¡± Chu Qing turned slightly and dodged Lin Dong¡¯s hand. Only then did he notice that the boys around the school were walking hand in hand! ¡°Alright then. By the way, do you want to go to the cafe together after school? Zhou Jiajia invited me.¡± Speaking of Zhou Jiajia, Lin Dong¡¯s face turned slightly red, just like the expression of a girl who was yearning for love! ¡°Do you think Zhou Jiajia will treat me to a movie? She seemed to have said in class that I will be under her protection in the future¡­¡± ¡°Hey, hey!¡± Chu Qing¡¯s expression was extremely unpleasant. It suddenly dawned on him that the person in front of him was not Lin Dong at all! ¡°Huh? What¡¯s wrong with you¡­ You¡¯re really strange today. Is it because of your period¡­¡± ¡°???¡± Chu Qing¡¯s expression turned even uglier. If the men in this world would have their periods, he would rather die on the spot¡­ ¡°I¡¯m just joking. Look at how ugly your expression is¡­¡± Lin Dong chuckled, but Chu Qing¡¯s face turned ashen. He seemed to be fuming with anger as if smoke was coming out of his head. ¡°Let¡¯s go. We have to go to school early today.¡± Lin Dong eventually stopped teasing and led Chu Qing into the school. Chu Qing was too lazy to complain or resist. Instead, he looked like he was at the mercy of others. ¡°Well, everything¡¯s quiet now¡­¡± As Chu Qing sat in his seat, he finally managed to break free from Lin Dong¡¯s grip, and his expression showed some relief. However, when he noticed a group of boys acting in a feminine way, he couldn¡¯t help but feel a little strange. Without dwelling on those odd behaviors, he simply laid his head on the table and tried not to think about it. Chu Qing did not want to sleep. Instead, he began to arrange those cultivation techniques and spells in his mind. He did not have many spells that he could use now, and his spiritual body had yet to take shape. It could be said that his current body was very fragile. Therefore, he first had to master defensive spells and sword arrays! Under the table, he began to form seals. Although he had changed his body, his proficiency in spells was still there. The first time, he succeeded smoothly. The moment the sword array¡¯s light was about to appear, he waved his hand and dissipated the spiritual energy. At this moment, someone poked his arm a few times. ¡°Chu, are you feeling unwell?¡± A girl with freckles looked at him. Chu Qing¡¯s memory quickly spun. It was her, Song Chaoran. Song Chaoran was the class monitor. In his previous life, she had taken good care of Chu Qing. Of course, it was only in terms of studies. Hence, Chu Qing couldn¡¯t help but feel a little touched when he suddenly saw Song Chaoran. Later on, Song Chaoran scored first in the whole class and got into a prestigious university, becoming a goddess in many people¡¯s hearts. ¡°I¡¯m fine. I just didn¡¯t eat breakfast. My stomach is a little uncomfortable.¡± ¡°I have bread here. Have some. The college entrance examination is coming soon. You should take good care of yourself.¡± Chu Qing smiled bitterly. He didn¡¯t expect the class monitor to take such good care of him. Just as he was about to decline, he suddenly heard a dissatisfied snort from behind. ¡°Oh, you¡¯re so kindhearted. Why don¡¯t you take a good look at yourself in the mirror?¡± A jealous girl suddenly interrupted. Chu Qing frowned, and an indescribable disgust arose in him. ¡°You¡­¡± Song Chaoran looked embarrassed. She just wanted to help her classmates. She didn¡¯t expect to be mocked like this. ¡°Chu Qing¡­ did you read the love letter Big Sister gave you yesterday?¡± As the girl spoke, she placed her hand on Chu Qing¡¯s shoulder and almost took another step forward. Chu Qing¡¯s eyes were almost on fire. An aura erupted from his body as he screamed, ¡°Get lost!¡± All the girls around Chu Qing endured the aura and rage that erupted from his body. Their bodies swayed as they took a few steps back and fell to the ground! ¡°Who do you think you are!¡± The girl couldn¡¯t contain herself any longer and started ridiculing Chu Qing. She even stood up, seemingly intending to lay a hand on him forcefully. Just then, a boy suddenly appeared and stood in front of her. ¡°You. Scram.¡± The girl¡¯s expression turned even uglier. However, she really could not afford to offend this boy because his sister was Ye Chenxi! The person before him was Ye Chenxi¡¯s younger brother, Ye Mao! ¡°Um¡­ Chu Qing, I have something to discuss with you. Can you come out for a while?¡± ¡°Okay.¡± In the face of his former friend, Chu Qing didn¡¯t hold any grudges, even though this person almost got him into trouble with¡­ a girl. When the two of them walked out of the classroom, Ye Mao said with a red face, ¡°I¡¯m really sorry about yesterday¡­ I only found out later that my sister had taken a liking to you. When I brought people to look for you later, you had already escaped.¡± Only then did Chu Qing come to a realization. He had a body full of spells, so he could naturally tell if Ye Mao was telling the truth. ¡°It¡¯s okay. It¡¯s not your fault.¡± Ye Mao was so moved that he almost cried and kept apologizing. Chu Qing could only comfort him by patting his shoulder, but the uncomfortable feeling in his heart was indescribable. Although he had experienced a small incident in the morning, the rest of the day went smoothly for Chu Qing. Apart from occasionally receiving a few love letters, everything else was fine. Oh, right, there was also Lin Dong, who often came to ask him to go to the toilet with him¡­ The curriculum was almost the same as in his previous life. Of course, this was not a problem for Chu Qing. Chu Qing¡¯s brain had been greatly strengthened from cultivation. Furthermore, the class monitor was always helping him solve all kinds of difficult problems. Therefore, in just a day, Chu Qing had basically finished revising the curriculum and was even a little ahead. ¡°Chu Qing.¡± ¡°Yes?¡± ¡°I keep feeling that¡­ you¡¯re different from before.¡± Song Chaoran said. ¡°Really? Haha¡­¡± Chu Qing chuckled dryly. Fortunately, the bell rang at this moment. Chu Qing carried his school bag and left the school. ¡°Chu Qing, are we going to the cafe tonight?¡± Lin Dong¡¯s voice came from behind. ¡°Nope!¡± Chu Qing waved his hand and walked ahead. At this moment, a car suddenly stopped beside them. The window rolled down, revealing a familiar face. Seeing this face, Chu Qing¡¯s expression changed slightly. ¡°Get in the car!¡± Ye Chenxi patted the front passenger seat and smiled at Chu Qing. Chapter 7 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Why should I get in the car?¡± Chu Qing smiled warmly even though countless curses were running through his mind. Why is it her again?! ¡°Why?¡± Ye Chenxi smiled and continued, ¡°Don¡¯t you¡­ care about your family?¡± ¡°Oh¡­ I see.¡± Chu Qing kept a smile on his face. He opened the car door and sat in the front passenger seat. ¡°That¡¯s the spirit, my wild man.¡± A satisfied smile appeared on Ye Chenxi¡¯s face. But the next moment, her smile froze! The car suddenly felt warmer and she felt a prickling sensation on her skin like sharp needles. This was her body¡¯s instinctive response to danger. ¡°Are you¡­ threatening me?¡± Chu Qing maintained his smile as he tapped his finger gently on the crystal accessory in front of him as if he was examining it closely. However, as soon as his finger left the surface, the crystal accessory shattered into a fine powder! ¡°No¡­ I¡¯m not.¡± Ye Chenxi¡¯s smile looked forced, and she felt a strong sense of humiliation as her man pressured her. ¡°If it¡¯s not a threat, then what is it?¡± Chu Qing got up slightly and pressed himself against Ye Chenxi¡¯s body, closing the car window. A part of him couldn¡¯t deny that Ye Chenxi had a strong body. Maybe it wasn¡¯t a bad thing to sleep with her once. However, he wanted to be the one who initiated it, not the other way around. Ye Chenxi swallowed her saliva. From this position, she was completely confident that she could knock Chu Qing out with one strike. However, the faint prickling sensation stopped her from acting rashly! ¡°I¡¯m saying¡­ I can help your sister and mother. I know that her company seems to be in some small situation recently.¡± ¡°And?¡± Chu Qing took advantage of the situation and acted like a hooligan. He kept lying on top of Ye Chenxi, making her breathless and feel like her blouse was about to burst open. ¡°We can start as friends. That way, I¡¯ll take care of your parents¡¯ business¡­¡± ¡°So¡­ you are pitying me?¡± Chu Qing chuckled, but he still looked like a hooligan. Anger appeared in Ye Chenxi¡¯s eyes as she stared at him. She took a deep breath and said, ¡°No. Since you don¡¯t fall for these tricks, I will pursue you openly. Is that still not enough?¡± Chu Qing pondered for a moment and nodded slowly. He could tell that Ye Chenxi¡¯s mentality was not bad, but perhaps she behaved badly because she had grown up in a bad environment for a long time. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s start as friends.¡± ¡°Oh, right. Actually, I don¡¯t mind doing that¡­ with you. But of course, I have to be on top!¡± Chu Qing smiled evilly before straightening up. ¡°Drive!¡± This guy¡­ Ye Chenxi tidied up her slightly wrinkled clothes and a strange look appeared in her eyes. She gazed at him and snorted before driving away from the school. Chu Qing didn¡¯t mind being friends with Ye Chenxi at all. After all, as a sword immortal, Chu Qing was famous for making friends widely in the other world. His character was publicly acknowledged in the other world. ¡°So where are we going now?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go eat. Oh, right, I have something to ask you¡­¡± Ye Chenxi looked at Chu Qing with a complicated expression, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated. ¡°Why? Is there anything you can¡¯t say?¡± ¡°I want to ask¡­ Do you practice ancient martial arts too?¡± ¡°Ancient martial arts?¡± Chu Qing was slightly stunned. Only then did he realize that the ancient martial arts that Ye Chenxi was talking about were the cultivation of spiritual energy. However, because it was called cultivation in another world, he did not react for a moment. ¡°No.¡± Chu Qing lied a little, his expression unabashed. ¡°Pfft! Liar!¡± Ye Chenxi¡¯s eyes were almost spitting fire. If she wasn¡¯t driving, she would have probably let go of the steering wheel and fought fiercely with Chu Qing the next moment. If you haven¡¯t cultivated before, could it be that the crystal accessory just now was blown into pieces by the wind? ¡°Anyway, I don¡¯t know of any cultivation techniques.¡± Chu Qing gave a shameless look. No matter what Ye Chenxi said, he would reply indifferently that he did not know any of them. ¡°Ha!¡± Ye Chenxi suddenly laughed out loud. ¡°What are you laughing at?¡± ¡°I¡¯m laughing at the fact that you¡¯re really different from the other boys. The other boys are as thin as paper, but your skin is as thick as a wall. You can simply compare yourself to those famous people from the past.¡± ¡°So what? There¡¯s no use in being thick-skinned.¡± Chu Qing shrugged nonchalantly. Since he had become friends with Ye Chenxi, there was no need for him to keep a straight face. This was how he truly treated his friends. No matter what, Chu Qing was much more comfortable with Ye Chenxi than with Lin Dong or Ye Mao. ¡°Yes, that¡¯s true. However, people from ancient martial arts families are all particular about morality, so we still care about our reputation.¡± Ye Chenxi smiled and said. She suddenly felt that when Chu Qing was with her, she was actually more relaxed than when she was with the elders in the family or those playmates. Perhaps this was the true side of her that no one knew about. Whether she was a woman in charge of the inheritance position of an ancient martial arts family, or a powerful figure in the underground forces, she was still in her early twenties this year and a little childish. ¡°Actually, I¡¯ve secretly investigated you, your family background, and so on. But there doesn¡¯t seem to be any records of ancient martial arts.¡± ¡°Since I¡¯m asking you something you don¡¯t want to say, I won¡¯t ask further. This is probably your personal secret¡­¡± Ye Chenxi said slowly, but Chu Qing was well aware of this point. As the heir of an ancient martial arts family, how could she not use her family¡¯s influence to investigate him? Even if Ye Chenxi did not have such thoughts, the people in her circle of interests would also take his safety into consideration and investigate Chu Qing¡¯s life situation on their own to ensure Ye Chenxi¡¯s safety. Chu Qing wanted to say something more. But in the next moment, his expression changed and he activated the spiritual energy in his dantian! ¡°Watch out!¡± Chapter 8 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Ye Chenxi¡¯s eyes widened as she watched a van that was coming straight at her. She held onto the steering wheel tightly, trying to avoid it, but the van stubbornly followed her direction and crashed into her car head-on! Screech! Although Ye Chenxi had already stepped on the brakes, the van sped up and crashed into her head-on! BANG! Ye Chenxi¡¯s car flipped in the air from the impact. The impact from the van was extraordinary. How could a small car like hers compare to it? ¡°Cough, cough. Chu Qing, are you alright?¡± Ye Chenxi coughed as she tried to catch her breath. Black smoke billowed from her car and flames licked at the engine. Her first instinct was to reach over and pull Chu Qing out of the car. However, she missed and realized something was amiss. It was then she saw that Chu Qing had stood up in front of her and took the full impact of the collision with his own body! ¡°Chu Qing, you¡­¡± Ye Chenxi¡¯s eyes widened. Chu Qing, who was in front of her, seemed to have become a different person. Unlike the domineering aura in the bar yesterday, Chu Qing had become like a dark, powerful assassin. His entire body exuded killing intent and coldness! Not only that but his body was also enveloped in a layer of golden light. It was this layer of light that protected Chu Qing from such serious injuries! ¡°Damn¡­¡± Chu Qing groaned in pain, and Ye Chenxi felt something wet on her hand as she hugged him. When she pulled her hand back, she saw that it was covered in blood! ¡°Chu Qing, are you hurt?¡± Ye Chenxi was in a state of panic. Despite having been injured before, she never felt this distressed. But as she looked at Chu Qing¡¯s injuries, her heart was in turmoil. This was her man, and she never expected him to put himself in harm¡¯s way to protect her! ¡°Let¡¯s get out first!¡± Chu Qing made a prompt decision and punched the car door. With this punch, a faint golden light appeared on his arm. This punch sent the car door flying! Then, Chu Qing hugged Ye Chenxi and rolled, successfully jumping out of the car! ¡°Let me take a look at your injuries¡­¡± Ye Chenxi hurriedly turned Chu Qing¡¯s body around. Only then did she see that Chu Qing¡¯s back was full of cuts. There was even a serious wound that had been pierced by the iron bar on the car window! ¡°You are badly wounded¡­ Quick, let¡¯s go to the hospital!¡± ¡°Why go to the hospital? Do you think it¡¯s over?¡± Chu Qing pulled Ye Chenxi behind him to protect her. Five or six burly women jumped down from the van in the distance. Some of them were even holding machetes and steel pipes! ¡°This is¡­¡± Chu Qing was speechless. He was a little curious about how this woman had survived until today! However, what he did not know was that Ye Chenxi was already in a mess because of his injuries! ¡°You¡¯re saying that someone wants to assassinate me?!¡± Ye Chenxi finally came to her senses. She narrowed her eyes as she stared at the six burly women rushing towards her. A strong killing intent appeared in her eyes. Since the assassination failed, it was now Ye Chenxi¡¯s turn to counterattack! How could Ye Chenxi, who controlled the underground forces in Jinmen City, be a weakling? ¡°You¡¯ve finally reacted¡­¡± Chu Qing moved his arms a few times. At this moment, the six burly women had already arrived in front of him. A silver machete was already slashing at Chu Qing! Perhaps thinking that Chu Qing was not much of a threat, only one woman ran over to attack him! ¡°I¡¯ve been underestimated again¡­¡± Chu Qing¡¯s eyes turned cold as a golden light flashed on his arm once again. He needed to end the fight quickly, despite the iron bar lodged in his body. Even with his strong physique, he knew he couldn¡¯t leave it there for too long or risk serious injury. Clang! The silver machete directly slashed at Chu Qing¡¯s arm, producing a sound similar to the friction of steel. He blocked the attack with just his right arm! The sturdy woman¡¯s eyes were filled with shock! Chu Qing was much faster than her! With his left fist emanating golden light, Chu Qing swiftly punched the burly woman in the abdomen, channeling spiritual energy into his attack. Without any prior cultivation, she would not have been able to withstand the force of his blow! The burly woman let out a muffled groan and stumbled back a few steps. The golden light that had covered her body seemed to have exploded inside her, causing serious damage to her internal organs! In shock, she looked up and saw a leg covered in golden light coming towards her face with great speed! The burly woman was sent flying and her machete dropped to the ground, marking the end of the battle! In just three moves, Chu Qing easily finished her off! Chu Qing looked toward Ye Chenxi and saw that she was in a dangerous situation. Despite having practiced ancient martial arts, she was unable to withstand the attack. Within seconds, a deep and bloody wound appeared on her abdomen! Chu Qing¡¯s face turned murderous as he swiftly kicked the machete, sending it flying up into his hand! At the moment Chu Qing held the machete, it seemed as if an unparalleled sharpness emanated from him. It was the sharpness of a sword! The moment he grasped the blade, he became the sword immortal Chu Qing who instilled fear into the hearts of people in the other world! The silver blade glimmered with a golden hue. In the next moment, Chu Qing vanished from the spot and swiftly slashed at the burly woman¡¯s back! Boom! With a slash to the neck, the woman fell to the ground! Of course, Chu Qing used the back of the blade. Otherwise, it would have beheaded her! Although he did not know if Ye Chenxi could handle killing people in this territory, it was better to not cause her too much trouble. At the same time, the eyes of the other four burly women were filled with shock! They were stunned as the frail-looking man knocked one of them down in an instant! Unlike them, a hint of joy appeared in Ye Chenxi¡¯s eyes. She did not expect him to take them out in an instant. In that case, the pressure on her was much lessened! However, what made her even more surprised was what followed. Chu Qing snorted coldly and attacked again with the blade in his hand. He turned into a golden stream of light and instantly circled behind a person, slashing again! Another one fell! The other three did not dare to be careless. Ye Chenxi¡¯s competitive spirit was ignited, and she refused to let her man steal the show. She wanted to be the center of attention! Ye Chenxi struck out with one hand and delivered a forceful Palm Strike. One of the burly women failed to avoid it in time and collapsed on the spot. The knife she was holding fell to the ground! On the other hand, Chu Qing was fighting two people alone. The silver blade in his hand was like a sword that was impossible to guard against. In just three moves, he knocked them to the ground! ¡°Not bad!¡± Ye Chenxi laughed and put his arm around Chu Qing¡¯s shoulders, causing the murderous look in Chu Qing¡¯s eyes to soften a bit. Chu Qing could have easily taken down these six people, but he didn¡¯t want to bring any unnecessary trouble to Ye Chenxi. Sword immortal Chu Qing was loyal to his friends, but he never showed mercy to his enemies! ¡°I¡¯ve kept all of them alive. I¡¯ll let you deal with them.¡± Chu Qing threw down the silver blade and said to Ye Chenxi. Chapter 9 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Ye Chenxi¡¯s expression turned serious. She controlled all the underground forces in Jinmen City. Without Chu Qing¡¯s help, Ye Chenxi realized she might have failed and even lost her life. ¡°Yes, I¡¯ll get someone to take care of things here.¡± However, Ye Chenxi was still secretly surprised. Was this Chu Qing really an ordinary high school student? Why was he completely different from her investigation results? It was unusual for a regular high school student to possess knowledge of ancient martial arts that were only known to a select few. Additionally, he appeared to have extensive knowledge of underground forces. ¡°About today¡¯s meal¡­ let¡¯s give it a miss. I¡¯ll treat you another day. If I return home late, my father will be worried.¡± Chu Qing rubbed his shoulders. The attack just now seemed to be a warm-up for him. He couldn¡¯t help but hope that there would be some more trouble. Chu Qing could not help but smile. Fortunately, he was here today. Otherwise, Ye Chenxi would probably be in trouble. Could this be considered as her owing him a favor? This way, this woman wouldn¡¯t be so arrogant in front of him in the future and call him her man¡­ Beep, beep, beep¡­ ¡°Hello? Who¡¯s this?¡± Ye Chenxi¡¯s phone suddenly rang. She shook her head and answered the call. ¡°What?!¡± Chu Qing watched as Ye Chenxi¡¯s face suddenly turned pale. He wondered what happened. Although the woman¡¯s situation seemed serious, Ye Chenxi realized that it had nothing to do with him. It was likely an issue related to her family and the underground forces. As a mere high school student, he didn¡¯t think he had the power or influence to intervene in such matters. Chu Qing was not keen on getting involved in the woman¡¯s family affairs and was ready to leave. He preferred to keep a low profile and avoid any unnecessary entanglements. The less he participated in the affairs of others, the better it was for him. This way, he wouldn¡¯t have any lingering concerns or obligations when he eventually left. ¡°Chu Qing¡­ don¡¯t leave yet¡­¡± Just as Chu Qing turned around, Ye Chenxi suddenly grabbed him and her eyes started to turn red. This made Chu Qing very curious. What made a powerful woman like Ye Chenxi lose her composure? ¡°What happened?¡± ¡°M-My¡­ mother was attacked¡­ She¡¯s currently being resuscitated at home¡­¡± ¡°How did this happen?¡± Chu Qing¡¯s face grew serious as he contemplated the recent events. Despite the suddenness of the situation, he had lived through two lifetimes and had developed a sharp sense of conspiracies. He couldn¡¯t shake off the feeling that there was more to the recent events than what appeared on the surface. In his experience, it was highly unlikely that these events were merely coincidental. If something happened to Ye Chenxi today, and her mother was unable to take charge of the overall situation because of the assassination attempt, then there would definitely be a huge change in the underworld of Jinmen City! When that happened, it would definitely not be a small matter. The entire city of Jinmen would be in chaos! ¡°D-Don¡¯t¡­ cry. I¡¯ll go with you.¡± Chu Qing smiled bitterly. It seemed that he could not leave. No matter what, Ye Chenxi had just proposed to be friends with him. Now that his friend was in trouble, how could he leave just like that? ¡°Okay¡­¡± Ye Chenxi¡¯s eyes grew dull as she considered the situation. Her mother had always been the backbone of their family, and without her, she felt vulnerable. She worried that her aunts, who were already eyeing her mother¡¯s position, would try to harm her or take advantage of the situation. Ye Chenxi wondered how she could protect herself and her family¡¯s interests in such a dangerous environment. Chu Qing also understood Ye Chenxi¡¯s feelings. If his family was hurt, Chu Qing¡¯s anger would burn the entire world! ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± As Ye Chenxi remained lost in thought, Chu Qing called a taxi, sensing the urgency of the situation. They needed to hurry to Ye Chenxi¡¯s family and ensure her mother¡¯s safety. Chu Qing understood that if Ye Chenxi wasn¡¯t present, her mother¡¯s injuries could worsen, especially since they were likely the result of a deliberate attack. During his cultivation in another world, Chu Qing witnessed the unsavory actions of fellow sect members fighting for status and power. As a result, he understood the motives of the group of people targeting Ye Chenxi and could anticipate their next moves. What they would do next was to completely eliminate their family lineage! ¡°All right, now, look at me!¡± Chu Qing shook Ye Chenxi¡¯s shoulders hard. Ye Chenxi finally came back to her senses and looked at Chu Qing. ¡°Now, your family depends on you. Of course, I can assist you, but ultimately, you must gather your strength and face this situation head-on. No one else will do it for you.¡± Ye Chenxi was moved by Chu Qing¡¯s words and she hugged him tightly. Despite the crisis, she felt comforted and supported by his encouragement. It was a rare feeling of relying on someone else, which made her feel intoxicated. ¡°I¡¯ll help you. It¡¯s fine. Now, tell the driver where you¡¯re going. Then, tell your younger brother not to go home first!¡± Chu Qing¡¯s words had an impact on Ye Chenxi, and she realized that the safety of her mother, younger brother, and others depended on her. She felt the weight of responsibility and knew that if she failed, many people would suffer. After giving the driver the address, Ye Chenxi called her younger brother, Ye Mao, and told him not to go home first. He could only head home after she settled the matters at home. Chu Qing took a moment to rest and regain his energy before heading to Ye Chenxi¡¯s family with her. He knew that they might face some resistance from her family, who might not easily let them in. Chu Qing¡¯s spiritual energy had recovered somewhat after the battle, and he was able to use more spells skillfully. In addition, he could sense a faint spiritual energy vortex forming in his dantian, which was a sign of an advancement! Chapter 10 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Chu Qing, we¡¯re here!¡± Ye Chenxi tugged at Chu Qing, who was still cultivating. Only then did Chu Qing let out a long breath. The golden light in his eyes gradually disappeared. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± It wasn¡¯t until he arrived at Ye Chenxi¡¯s family that Chu Qing realized how huge the so-called ancient martial arts family was! This strength was not only reflected in martial strength. Merely in terms of monetary value, it was an invincible and powerful existence! The huge villa in the city center was a symbol of absolute power! At the entrance, the woman in black whom Chu Qing had seen in the bar before was already waiting there. When she saw Ye Chenxi¡¯s arrival, she quickly welcomed her! ¡°Miss, you¡¯re finally back!¡± ¡°Yes, I¡¯m back. How are things at home?¡± Ye Chenxi finally had the aura of a superior. An invisible aura slowly appeared, but Chu Qing was completely unaffected by it. After all, this domineering woman had secretly cried beside him just now. ¡°It¡¯s tough to handle. Ye Mei said that unless you¡¯re here, no one is allowed to enter!¡± ¡°That traitorous woman!¡± Ye Chenxi was furious, exuding an even more powerful aura from her body. If it wasn¡¯t for Chu Qing, how could she have rushed back here in time?! At that time, her mother would really be at their mercy! Ye Mei was her third aunt. Previously, she had heard from her mother that Ye Mei had been playing a lot of tricks in the family all these years. She was even suspected of colluding with some other big families. It was only because her mother had no actual evidence that she had not taken action. Unexpectedly, it was Ye Mei who made the first move today! ¡°Little Qing, why are you covering your face!¡± The woman in black had been covering her face. Ye Chenxi felt that something was wrong and ordered her to stop. Only then did Little Qing remove her hand, revealing a bright red palm print on her face! ¡°Was it Ye Mei?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°She¡¯s gone too far. Chu Qing, let¡¯s go!¡± Chu Qing was also furious. He could tell that Ye Mei had used an effective method. If it wasn¡¯t for him today, the consequences would have been serious. Even if Ye Chenxi did not sustain any serious injuries, it would probably delay her arrival. If Ye Chenxi¡¯s mother died, what status would Ye Chenxi have in her family? ¡°Wait, this is¡­¡± Just as the three of them walked into the main entrance, two people stopped them and looked at Chu Qing with unfriendly expressions. ¡°He¡¯s my man. Why? Do you want to stop him?¡± Ye Chenxi gave the two people a fierce look. It was evident to her that they were not from her family, but rather from Ye Mei¡¯s side. She had never expected that a simple vacation would lead to such a catastrophic event in her family. ¡°Hehe, Miss Ye, there¡¯s a crisis now, so you should understand that no outsiders are allowed in!¡± ¡°How dare you! Who told you to stop the people I brought?!¡± Ye Chenxi was infuriated. She was about to make a move. Fortunately, Little Qing was by her side and held onto her tightly. Otherwise, once Ye Chenxi made a move, the matter would probably reach an irreversible stage! ¡°I¡¯m a doctor.¡± Chu Qing suddenly said indifferently from the side. This was the only reasonable identity. Moreover, when Chu Qing was in the other world, he studied medicine. However, what he studied was not traditional medicine, but saving people through spiritual energy. This was definitely rare among ancient martial arts families. After all, the use of spiritual energy in this world was definitely not as profound as in his world! ¡°Doctor? Can men even be doctors these days?¡± The woman on the left had a mocking smile on her face. The other woman also laughed along. How could a man be a doctor? ¡°Heh, I can tell at a glance that you¡¯ve had gynecological problems for many years. Is this enough?¡± Chu Qing chuckled as he looked at the woman who mocked him. ¡°You¡­¡± ¡°Oh, right, and you¡ªyour kidneys are not healthy. It¡¯s probably because you¡¯ve been practicing martial arts for many years. Recently, you¡¯ve been taking medication for a long time, but it hasn¡¯t been effective. Am I right?¡± Chu Qing¡¯s words cut off the other woman¡¯s attempt to speak. He was right! The two women looked at each other. They realized that although their goal was to make things difficult for Ye Chenxi, the man in front of them was skilled and had presented logical reasons. If they didn¡¯t allow Ye Chenxi to enter this time, it could potentially trigger conflict within the family. The two of them understood the meaning in each other¡¯s eyes and let them in together! Ye Chenxi was still fuming, while Chu Qing had a smile on his face. The three of them stepped into the main entrance together. Upon entering, two more women approached them followed by four female bodyguards who blocked their path from behind! ¡°Ye Mei¡­¡± Ye Chenxi¡¯s eyes seemed to be spewing flames. Her anger had reached its peak. The woman holding a small fan and smiling in front of her was Ye Mei! ¡°Oh, isn¡¯t this Chenxi? Fortunately, you rushed back in time. Otherwise¡­ I really don¡¯t know what would have happened¡­¡± It was clear that Ye Mei was pretending to be upset and covering her face with a fan. She even wiped away fake tears a few times, which only made Ye Chenxi angrier. Her energy was building up inside her, and she was about to rush out and attack Ye Mei! However, at this critical moment, a pair of steady hands suddenly stopped Ye Chenxi. It was Chu Qing, who had been silent all this while. Ye Chenxi understood Chu Qing¡¯s intentions. Ye Mei was intentionally provoking her to make a move. If Ye Chenxi were to attack, she would be committing a crime against her own family. At that time, even if her mother did not die, Ye Chenxi would definitely not be able to protect her! In a large family clan, the first thing that mattered was evidence. If there was no evidence, one absolutely could not take the initiative to attack! ¡°¡­Ye Mei, where¡¯s my mom? Can I take a look at her?¡± ¡°Where are your manners? In terms of seniority, you still have to call me Third Aunt¡­¡± Chapter 11 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Ye Mei smiled coquettishly, but there were many complicated emotions in her eyes. ¡°Heh, alright. Let me pass now. How¡¯s my mother?¡± After all, Ye Chenxi was still young, so she went straight to the point. ¡°Your mother is fine now, but speaking of which¡­ Why did you bring back a strange man? Can any strange men just enter our Ye family nowadays?¡± Ye Mei covered her face with her fan with a look of disdain and pointed at Chu Qing, who was standing at the side. Chu Qing frowned slightly. It seemed that Ye Mei had made up her mind today not to let them pass so easily! ¡°That¡¯s none of your business. He¡¯s the doctor I found.¡± ¡°Doctor? Can a man still be a doctor? Regardless, what do you mean by bringing a male doctor from another family? Could it be that¡­ there¡¯s no one left in the Ye family?¡± Ye Mei proceeded cautiously, with the intention of prolonging the situation in hopes that Ye Chenxi would eventually make a move. However, she didn¡¯t have much patience since her mother was the one lying inside. ¡°No, I¡¯m not only a doctor. I¡¯m her friend.¡± At this moment, Chu Qing stood up with a smile and gently blocked Ye Chenxi behind him as he spoke slowly. ¡°Friend? Pfft. You¡¯re just like your mother. You leave for a few days and come back with a man?¡± Ye Mei insulted Ye Chenxi with unpleasant words. Ye Chenxi was so angry that she wanted to attack and kill Ye Mei right then and there, but she restrained herself when she realized the gravity of her actions. ¡°That¡¯s right. He¡¯s my friend. So now, can you let us pass?¡± Ye Chenxi calmed herself down and realized that Ye Mei was picking on her for being immature. She couldn¡¯t barge in forcefully because there might be people inside protecting her mother. So, she had to rely on Chu Qing to help her. ¡°There are many requirements to be a man of the Ye family¡­ One of the most important requirements is to be a martial artist. This young man doesn¡¯t look like a martial artist no matter how I look at him.¡± Ye Mei¡¯s eyes lit up, while Chu Qing smiled slightly. He smiled calmly, unperturbed by her scrutiny. Although she was examining the vital energy in his body, he knew there was none to be found. ¡°Aunt Ye, I¡¯m sorry. I¡¯m really a martial artist.¡± Chu Qing smiled and looked at Ye Mei. With Ye Mei¡¯s skills, how could she test his ability? The two of them were not on the same level at all. Or rather, this was the difference between the two worlds in terms of spiritual energy cultivation! ¡°You? Since you said that you¡¯re a martial artist¡­ Ye Mei¡¯er, test the strength of the man Miss Ye found!¡± Ye Mei nodded at the person beside her, the woman called Ye Mei¡¯er. ¡°Yes, Mother.¡± Ye Mei¡¯er wore a tight red dress with a high slit that revealed a glimpse of her legs as she walked. ¡°Niece Ye, don¡¯t accuse me of bullying you. If your man can get past her, I will let you in.¡± A hint of surprise appeared in Ye Chenxi¡¯s eyes, but then she felt relieved. Even she could not tell what realm Chu Qing was in, so how could Ye Mei tell? ¡°Alright, then¡­ let¡¯s have a competition.¡± Ye Mei sneered. If she disabled Chu Qing, Ye Chenxi would surely lose it. But if Ye Chenxi attacked her first, she would violate the family rules. Even her mother, Ye Qingmei, wouldn¡¯t be able to protect her! ¡°Oh, little brother~¡± Just like her name, Ye Mei¡¯er was naturally charming. However, women were not of much use to Chu Qing. No matter what, he had already lived for two lifetimes. Moreover, he was never attracted to such a flirtatious woman. ¡°As a man, just hide behind a woman obediently. If you lose this time, you have to agree to one condition of mine.¡± ¡°What condition?¡± Chu Qing was full of smiles. At the same time, he began to accumulate spiritual energy in his body, which surged rapidly throughout his body. In the next moment, he could rush out instantly and kill this woman on the spot! ¡°If I win, he will have to sleep with me for the night¡­¡± ¡°Ye Mei¡¯er, don¡¯t go overboard!¡± As expected, Ye Chenxi exploded. Chu Qing sighed slightly. Compared to this mother-daughter pair, Ye Chenxi was much more shrewd. It was no wonder that Ye Chenxi¡¯s mother did not allow her to inherit the power. If Ye Chenxi had inherited the family¡¯s power early on, it would not be long before this mother and daughter would completely dominate Ye Chenxi. ¡°Alright, I promise you. Then¡­ let¡¯s begin!¡± As soon as Chu Qing finished speaking, Ye Mei¡¯er strode forward, attempting to catch Chu Qing off guard! She had already gathered a light green aura in her palm, which could seriously harm Chu Qing. It might even cause internal injuries if it landed on him! What a vicious woman. So what she said just now was to divert my attention! Chu Qing had a smile on his face as if he had not reacted. Ye Mei, who was opposite him, had a look of joy on her face. She was very confident in her daughter! If not for the fact that the best inheritance in the family was given to Ye Chenxi, Ye Mei¡¯er¡¯s achievements would definitely be much higher than Ye Chenxi¡¯s! Chapter 12 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Clang! Accompanied by the sound of metal colliding, an incomparably powerful hand grabbed Ye Mei¡¯er¡¯s palm! ¡°What?!¡± Ye Mei¡¯s expression changed. How could this pretty boy react so quickly? Moreover, she clearly didn¡¯t feel any energy fluctuations in Chu Qing¡¯s body! ¡°You!?¡± Ye Mei¡¯er¡¯s face instantly turned pale. She never thought that this seemingly weak man would catch her palm so easily! Moreover, her arm was completely unable to move at all, as if it was tightly held by an iron pincer! ¡°Now, do you still want to sleep with me?¡± Chu Qing smiled wickedly, his hand charged with energy. He applied a bit of pressure, and Ye Mei¡¯s hand distorted slightly. Despite her beauty, Chu Qing showed no mercy, and continued his ruthless assault! ¡°That¡¯s enough!¡± Ye Mei revealed a look of surprise. The moment Chu Qing used his spiritual energy, she vaguely sensed a terrifying power emerging from his body out of thin air. It seemed that Chu Qing¡¯s cultivation level was not inferior to hers! ¡°You! This is impossible!¡± Ye Mei¡¯er¡¯s eyes flashed ruthlessly as she launched a kick with her right foot toward Chu Qing. A silver light gleamed at the tip of her high heels, revealing a hidden knife. A trace of coldness appeared in Chu Qing¡¯s eyes. This woman wants to take his life! With a wave of his right hand, Chu Qing grabbed her thigh. In the next moment, his left hand, flickering with energy, clenched into a fist and punched Ye Mei¡¯er¡¯s lower abdomen! Pfft! Ye Mei¡¯er spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward! Chu Qing looked at his left hand. At that moment, his killing intent was incomparably strong. If he hadn¡¯t retracted his hand quickly, Ye Mei¡¯er¡¯s internal organs would probably have been crushed by him! ¡°You! Alright, Ye Chenxi, let¡¯s see what kind of man you have brought back!¡± Ye Mei supported Ye Mei¡¯er and glared at Ye Chenxi and Chu Qing! ¡°Heh, Aunt Ye, you have raised your daughter wonderfully. It¡¯s just a spar, but she actually has to use the blade hidden in her shoe?¡± Chu Qing wiped his hands as if he had just touched something filthy and held Ye Chenxi¡¯s hand. ¡°Alright, hurry up and send your daughter for treatment. Otherwise, I can¡¯t guarantee that there won¡¯t be any hidden injuries after two hours!¡± Chu Qing said as he walked. Upon hearing Chu Qing¡¯s words, Ye Mei placed her hand on Ye Mei¡¯er¡¯s lower abdomen to check. She was enraged to discover the extent of Chu Qing¡¯s potent attack, which had injected a large amount of vital energy into Ye Mei¡¯er¡¯s body. This energy was damaging her kidneys, and Ye Mei was furious. ¡°Fine, you win!¡± Ye Mei glared fiercely at Chu Qing and called the two women in black behind her to carry Ye Mei¡¯er away. However, she had never thought that her daughter also wanted to kill Chu Qing! ¡°Chu Qing, are you alright?!¡± After walking for some distance, Ye Chenxi looked at Chu Qing worriedly. Chu Qing shook his head slightly. Ye Mei¡¯er was too weak and he did not have much desire to attack her. If Ye Mei¡¯er had not used a knife to attack him in the end, Chu Qing would not have been so ruthless. ¡°It¡¯s fine. Let¡¯s go and see Auntie.¡± Chu Qing recovered his spiritual energy as he walked. Without Ye Mei and the others, no one from the Ye family tried to stop them. After all, not everyone had the ability to stop the eldest daughter of the Ye family. Suddenly, a woman approached from ahead. She was dressed in a suit and wore gold-rimmed glasses, giving her a calm and composed appearance. ¡°Second Aunt!¡± Ye Chenxi called out. The woman¡¯s eyes were filled with anxiety. ¡°Chenxi, you¡¯re finally here!¡± ¡°Where¡¯s Mother?¡± ¡°Your mother is safe and we have protected her. However, Ye Mei¡¯s power still has a certain impact, and we have no choice but to watch over your mother for now.¡± Second Aunt hugged Ye Chenxi, her eyes filled with worry. ¡°By the way¡­ who is this?¡± At this moment, Second Aunt noticed Chu Qing standing behind Ye Chenxi and could not help but feel puzzled. ¡°Second Aunt, this is¡­ a friend of mine. I was also attacked just now. Fortunately, he helped me.¡± Second Aunt nodded, but there was some dissatisfaction on her face. She knew Ye Chenxi¡¯s childish nature. In her eyes, her so-called friend was just a playmate that she found somewhere. ¡°Okay, then I¡¯ll take you to see your mother. As for this friend of yours¡­¡± ¡°Second Aunt, I want to go in too.¡± ¡°Hmm?¡± Her second aunt¡¯s displeasure grew more apparent. Ye Chenxi had gone too far. She couldn¡¯t even control her friend, or rather, her lover. Chapter 13 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Second Aunt, he wants to go in too. He has some medical knowledge.¡± ¡°Medical knowledge?¡± Observing Ye Chenxi¡¯s serious expression, Second Aunt began to contemplate inwardly. Though Ye Chenxi was usually unreliable, would she still behave the same during such a crucial moment? It seemed that Ye Qingmei was right. It¡¯s too early for Ye Chenxi to inherit the Ye family¡¯s ancient martial arts heritage. Second Aunt thought about it and shook her head. She could only let this man go in first. After all, in the family, Ye Chenxi had more power than her. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll take you there.¡± Following Second Aunt for another two to three minutes, the group finally arrived at a standalone villa. She brought them to Ye Chenxi¡¯s mother¡¯s room. ¡°Mom!¡± As Ye Chenxi gazed at the woman lying on the bed with a pale complexion, a lump formed in her throat and she walked over to her. Meanwhile, Ye Qingmei gradually opened her eyes, revealing a frail look. ¡°Chenxi, you¡¯re here¡­¡± Ye Qingmei caressed her head. At this moment, Ye Chenxi finally revealed her true side as a child. ¡°Oh? This is¡­¡± Ye Qingmei noticed Chu Qing standing at the door and couldn¡¯t help but ask. Chu Qing touched his nose and felt a little awkward. Didn¡¯t they agree to only come out for a meal today? Why did it feel like he was here to meet her parents¡­ ¡°Mom, this is my¡­ my friend. He¡­ is also a martial artist.¡± ¡°Oh? A friend? And a martial artist too?¡± ¡°How rare. There aren¡¯t many boys who are willing to suffer and practice martial arts these days.¡± Ye Qingmei understood her daughter. Even though she was lying weakly on the bed, she still looked at Ye Chenxi with a smile on her face. Her eyes were filled with love. In her eyes, Ye Chenxi had many so-called friends, but this was the first time she had brought a boy home. ¡°Yes, Auntie, she asked me to examine your body condition.¡± Chu Qing appeared natural and unrestrained, but he was also a little hesitant. Why did he feel that the way Ye Chenxi¡¯s mother looked at him¡­ was a little strange? ¡°Hahaha, alright. Chenxi, thank you for your trouble, but I know my body best.¡± Although Ye Qingmei said it was troublesome, her face showed clear refusal without hiding it. Chu Qing was momentarily taken aback. He knew that those who could control the entire underground force in Jinmen City must be powerful individuals, and he also knew that many of the renowned doctors in the world were women. ¡°Mom, let him take a look. He¡¯s really good! If it weren¡¯t for him today, I¡¯m afraid I would have been seriously injured too!¡± ¡°Oh?¡± Hearing Ye Chenxi¡¯s words, Ye Qingmei¡¯s eyes were filled with curiosity. This was the first time she had seen her daughter give such a high evaluation of a man. Could it be that there was really something different about this man? ¡°Auntie, if I¡¯m not wrong¡­¡± Chu Qing closed his eyes and focused, using his spiritual energy to sense the surroundings. Gradually, he extended his perception to cover the entire room, including Ye Qingmei¡¯s body. ¡°You were ambushed, right? A palm hit the left side of your back. The power used by the ambusher was extremely sinister, causing you to have no choice but to mobilize most of your vital energy to resist the invasion of that sinister energy. Moreover, it will last for at least a few days.¡± ¡°In the past few days, your body has been extremely weak because most of your spiritual energy has been used to resist that unknown energy. Am I right?¡± As soon as Chu Qing finished speaking, Ye Qingmei¡¯s expression changed slightly. ¡°Chenxi, go out for a while.¡± ¡°Huh? Me?¡± ¡°Yes, I have something to say to this child alone.¡± Ye Qingmei¡¯s face was still as calm as ever. However, there was something different in her eyes. ¡°Oh, okay.¡± Ye Chenxi still respected her mother very much. Hence, after her mother finished speaking, Ye Chenxi left the room and closed the door behind her. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s get down to business.¡± Ye Qingmei forced herself to sit up on the bed and leaned against the pillow. However, the smile on her face had long disappeared. Instead, it was filled with seriousness. An invisible energy field slowly spread throughout the room. Now, she was not Ye Chenxi¡¯s mother but the powerful queen of the underground forces in Jinmen City! Chu Qing frowned slightly. Ye Qingmei¡¯s strength was much stronger than he had imagined. They were on completely different levels. After all, Chu Qing¡¯s body had only been cultivated for a few days. If Ye Qingmei thought she could overpower him with her energy alone, she was mistaken. ¡°Hmph!¡± Chu Qing grunted, and a hidden divine light flickered from his body, filling the room with an invisible aura. If one listened closely, one could hear the faint hum of swords in the air! Chu Qing¡¯s identity was not simple either. One had to know that he was a genius sword immortal who dominated the realm! Chapter 14 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios For a moment, the entire room was filled with the aura of the two of them, clashing constantly and causing the air to ripple! ¡°As expected! You¡¯re not a martial artist, but someone who practices ancient martial arts. No wonder you could see through my injuries at a glance¡­¡± ¡°Tell me, did the Li family send you here? Come at me. Don¡¯t implicate Ye Chenxi.¡± Ye Qingmei snorted coldly and said. At the same time, the aura around her inadvertently grew stronger! ¡°Me? I¡¯m not from the Li family.¡± Chu Qing shrugged, but sweat began to appear on his forehead. Ye Qingmei¡¯s strength was indeed not something he could compete with now. At the very least, it was impossible for him to compete with her in terms of aura. Hmph, so what? I just need some time and I will be fearless! ¡°You¡¯re not?¡± Ye Qingmei¡¯s brow furrowed slightly. While she believed Chu Qing wasn¡¯t lying, it didn¡¯t necessarily mean he was telling the whole truth. ¡°Then, why did you get close to Ye Chenxi?¡± ¡°But¡­ she was the one who started approaching me¡­¡± Chu Qing let out a bitter laugh. For the longest time, it had been Ye Chenxi who constantly bothered him. Today was the only time he offered to help on his own, and now he had a sudden headache from her words. Seeing Chu Qing¡¯s reaction, Ye Qingmei suddenly thought of her precious daughter¡¯s look. If it was really as Chu Qing had said, then it was really possible that Ye Chenxi had taken the initiative to pester him. ¡°Then, where did you learn this ancient martial art from?¡± ¡°So this is called ancient martial arts¡­? That¡¯s a long story. That year, I accidentally fell off a cliff and was in a cave¡­¡± ¡°Stop, stop, stop. Forget it. Since you¡¯re not going to say anything, I won¡¯t ask further.¡± When Ye Qingmei heard this, she knew that Chu Qing was spouting nonsense, so she stopped asking. Looking at Chu Qing who was laughing dryly, she could not help but have a headache. ¡°Let me ask you one more time. Are you really not trying to harm Ye Chenxi?¡± ¡°Yes, I¡¯m not.¡± Chu Qing¡¯s face finally became more serious, and he no longer looked as cynical as before. ¡°If I truly wanted to harm her, all I had to do was not save her during the car accident. She would have been injured or worse, especially considering that there are people after her,¡± Chu Qing explained. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll believe you for now. If I find out that you¡­¡± Ye Qingmei¡¯s face was filled with ruthlessness. However, she seemed to recall Ye Chenxi¡¯s expression and suddenly could not continue. ¡°Forget it. Get Ye Chenxi to come in. I still have some things to tell her.¡± Chu Qing was surprised. It¡¯s over just like that? ¡°Wait¡­ wait a minute, Aunt Ye, what about the matter at hand?¡± ¡°What are you talking about?¡± Chu Qing¡¯s face darkened. It seemed that Ye Qingmei¡¯s relationship with her daughter had completely overshadowed her worries about her health. ¡°Letting me examine you, of course!¡± ¡°Oh!¡± Only then did Ye Qingmei remember that the true purpose of this young man in front of her was to treat her. ¡°Come on, show me my daughter¡¯s taste.¡± ¡°Pfft, Aunt Ye, your daughter and I are just friends.¡± ¡°Sigh, I know. I was once as young as her.¡± ¡°Huh?!¡± Chu Qing was dumbfounded. Unlike Ye Chenxi, Ye Qingmei was a career-oriented and strong woman in this world. When she learned that Chu Qing was going to treat her, she didn¡¯t feel shy. With a gentle sound, she removed her only long robe and tossed it aside casually. ¡°Come on, if you can¡¯t treat me, I will have to think of another way.¡± Even though Ye Qingmei voiced her request, she didn¡¯t have high hopes. Despite Chu Qing¡¯s remarkable accomplishments in cultivation at such a young age, he was still under 20 years old. She didn¡¯t dare expect him to have the same success in medicine. ¡°Alright, here I come.¡± Chu Qing looked at Ye Qingmei¡¯s perfectly naked back and couldn¡¯t help but hold his breath. However, he quickly adjusted himself and began to seriously observe her injuries. On Ye Qingmei¡¯s left shoulder, there was a huge pitch-black shadow that emitted an odd black color. The surrounding flesh had turned purple and exuded a faint fishy smell. This piqued Chu Qing¡¯s interest. ¡°There¡¯s no need to be afraid. Do whatever you need to do.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Even if Ye Qingmei didn¡¯t give her consent, Chu Qing wouldn¡¯t have backed down. Being a man at heart, he wasn¡¯t as timid as the men in this society. ¡°Aunt Ye, please turn around. I have to look at the front.¡± Upon hearing this, Ye Qingmei turned around, revealing her firm bosom. Her gorgeous figure remained unaltered even after giving birth. Hiss¡­ At this point, Chu Qing had completely forgotten about the distinction between genders and focused all his attention on sensing. A glimmer of spiritual light also slowly appeared in his eyes. Finally, he locked onto the five black dots on her chest, which were as tiny as pinholes. If one did not look carefully, one might not be able to discover them. However, under Chu Qing¡¯s spiritual vision, he could clearly capture the strange energy faintly emitted by them. Chapter 15 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Huh?¡± Although Chu Qing was serious, Ye Qingmei was a little embarrassed, especially Chu Qing¡¯s inexplicable hiss¡­ ¡°I understand. The person who ambushed you cultivated a type of poison attack. The poisonous gas entered your body and has a very strong corrosive effect.¡± If you want to remove it slowly using your power, it will take six to seven days. However, the array formation is very corrosive, which means you won¡¯t be able to last that long. Your organs will completely rot and fail before even four days have passed!¡± Chu Qing pointed out the poison and Ye Qingmei was shocked. She had studied the injury for a long time but only knew about its strong corrosion. She was surprised that Chu Qing could identify the dark shadow in her body as poison with just a quick glance. Moreover, the timing and others that Chu Qing had pointed out were exactly as she had estimated, but what she had estimated was only a rough range! ¡°I-Is there a way to treat it?¡± Chu Qing smiled and said confidently, ¡°Yes!¡± ¡°As long as the poison is removed, the wound will naturally heal and your vitality will recover again. It will be fine!¡± ¡°If I¡¯m not wrong, the person who ambushed you must have used a lot of vital energy to launch this attack. Therefore, most of her strength is left in your body. However, her realm¡­ will probably be affected because of this.¡± Word for word! Ye Qingmei¡¯s expression turned astonished. She knew that because the person who had ambushed her back then had immediately lost a large amount of her cultivation base thereafter! ¡°Okay, let¡¯s begin. It might hurt a little.¡± ¡°Hehe, young man, you¡¯ve underestimated me.¡± Ye Qingmei chuckled and harrumphed. However, in the next moment, beads of sweat slowly rolled down her forehead! ¡°Ouch¡­ Why does it hurt so much?¡± Chu Qing did not answer. All his energy was focused on his hands. He placed one hand on Ye Qingmei¡¯s chest and the other on her back. Chu Qing¡¯s hands had already turned a strange golden color. He slowly closed his eyes. At the same time, a large amount of spiritual energy began to enter Ye Qingmei¡¯s body from his palms! ¡°Now, let me detoxify the poison first.¡± Chu Qing explained to Ye Qingmei. At this moment, Ye Qingmei¡¯s forehead was covered in sweat. Even a large portion of the bed was wet. He had used spiritual energy to affect her body and such pain was not something ordinary people could endure! When Chu Qing was in the other world, he often used this method to treat his injuries. The pain was completely out of his consideration. At this moment, wisps of golden spiritual energy began to circulate around the pitch-black toxin in Ye Qingmei¡¯s body. With the effect of the golden spiritual energy, the pitch-black toxin began to dissipate, finally revealing its true appearance. It turned out that the five pitch-black dots that Chu Qing had seen previously were actually five very small silver needles. They were different from ordinary needles. These needles were completely made of vital energy! It was a little similar to the Life and Death Talisman condensed from the vital energy of the Elderly Lady of Mount Heaven! So that¡¯s how it is! Chu Qing frowned as he analyzed the wound¡¯s structure. Luckily, Ye Qingmei didn¡¯t try to forcefully detoxify the poison with brute force. If she had, the poison would have spread even faster and invaded her body. At that moment, even if there were ten Chu Qing, they would have been powerless to reverse the situation. The only chance of saving Ye Qingmei was to have a spirit herb from their previous life, which was difficult to obtain and refine into a medicinal pill on Earth. However, there was still a way to undo it, but the process would be very slow. Chu Qing had to use his spiritual energy to continuously melt those silver needles. He could only use one at a time. If the range of his movements was too large, it would cause the array formation to explode. ¡°How is it? Can you undo it?¡± Ye Qingmei was a little used to pain. Instead, she took the initiative to talk to Chu Qing. This way, she could divert some attention. ¡°Don¡¯t speak.¡± Chu Qing refused to speak. All his attention was on this tough array formation in front of him. If he was disturbed, he was not sure what would happen. ¡°Argh¡­¡± Ye Qingmei¡¯s face turned red. It was the first time she had been turned down by a man like this. She had never been interested in pursuing men but had always managed to remain popular and unattached. That was until she settled down due to her family¡¯s pressure and got together with Ye Chenxi¡¯s father. Moreover, this young man had placed his hand on her chest¡­ Chu Qing carefully controlled the golden spiritual energy one by one. This was already the limit of what he could do. As his spiritual energy slowly seeped in, the black poison also began to slowly disintegrate. However, as the silver needle disintegrated, energy flowed into his palm. However, this energy was black. This is¡­ Chu Qing¡¯s eyes flickered. Chapter 16 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios For a moment, Chu Qing could not confirm if this strange energy was good or bad for him. However, the spiritual body inside him began to awaken due to the injection of this pure energy. The first to awaken was his hands. However, no matter what, he had to save Ye Qingmei. Therefore, even if there were any side effects, he could only bear them himself. The process lasted for about an hour. With a soft sound, the poisonous needle wrapped in Chu Qing¡¯s golden spiritual energy finally disintegrated, and the last energy slowly flowed into his palm. Phew¡­ Chu Qing immediately let go of his hands and leaned back. Fortunately, Ye Qingmei reacted quickly and grabbed Chu Qing with one hand to prevent him from falling. ¡°Is it over?¡± Ye Qingmei asked anxiously. Chu Qing shook his head and said, ¡°We have to stop here for today. I don¡¯t dare to undo all of this at once. Otherwise, I can¡¯t guarantee what will happen.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay. We can take it slow.¡± A smile finally appeared on Ye Qingmei¡¯s face. Although she did not seem to care, she was actually very worried. She was not worried about her own life but about Ye Chenxi. ¡°Sorry to trouble you. Do you need anything?¡± ¡°No, I don¡¯t need anything. Ye Chenxi is my friend.¡± Chu Qing shook his head. He suddenly felt an itch on his left hand. He looked down and saw a patch of pitch-black on his left hand. His heart sank. This was the black poison from before. He did not expect it to remain in his hand. However, as Chu Qing withdrew his spiritual energy into his dantian, the black mark disappeared again. ¡°Oh, I forgot¡­ You and Ye Chenxi are just friends¡­¡± Ye Qingmei had clearly let go of her worries and started to joke around with them. Chu Qing could only smile bitterly and nod. ¡°Aunt Ye, um, I¡¯ll take my leave first.¡± ¡°Sure, I¡¯ll get someone to send you back. Don¡¯t worry.¡± ¡°No need. I¡¯ll take a taxi back. You need people here.¡± Chu Qing¡¯s face was a little red. He suddenly remembered some novels he had read before¡ªsomething about a friend¡¯s mother¡­ Shaking off the dirty thoughts in his mind, Chu Qing pushed open the door and Ye Chenxi hurriedly squeezed in. ¡°Mom, how are you?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine. This friend of yours is very good at medicine.¡± ¡°It¡¯s rare for boys to be so capable nowadays.¡± Ye Qingmei exclaimed. She returned to her gentle and motherly self, comforting and hugging Ye Chenxi who pounced on her. ¡°By the way, send him off. He¡¯s leaving.¡± ¡°Mm, okay!¡± Upon hearing that her mother was fine, Ye Chenxi seemed to come alive and became extremely lively again. She hugged Chu Qing from behind and pressed her chest against his back. ¡°Hehe, I didn¡¯t expect you to really¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Chu Qing tried to break free, but the woman behind him hugged him even tighter. He smiled and simply let her hug him. ¡°Why are you heading home so early? Why don¡¯t you stay with me tonight? I¡¯ll give you some rewards!¡± Chu Qing was a little embarrassed. This was Ye Chenxi¡¯s true self. After resolving the crisis, this side of her was a little unbearable for him. ¡°No, my parents will go crazy if they find out that I¡¯m spending the night at another girl¡¯s house¡­¡± ¡°Oh, that¡¯s true. After all, you¡¯re Mom and Dad¡¯s good son. You have to be careful not to be tainted by others.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Chu Qing rolled his eyes. Men in the Ye family could not wander around too casually. Therefore, Ye Chenxi sent him to the door. She wanted to send him home, but he rejected her. At this time, the Ye family was short of manpower. It was really inconvenient for Ye Chenxi to leave. Ye Chenxi did not refuse. Although she was worried about Chu Qing, she nodded in agreement. However, she reckoned that with Chu Qing¡¯s martial strength, there was really no woman who could easily subdue him. Of course, she was also a little curious. Yesterday, Chu Qing was easily drugged by her, but today¡­ Forget it, maybe I only just started understanding him now. Ye Chenxi was already prepared to interact with this man for a long time. Chu Qing called for a taxi and got in. He sat cross-legged and pretended to close his eyes to rest. However, at this moment, he had already entered a cultivation state. Due to the additional spiritual energy today, about one-fifth of his spiritual body had been activated. If he continued to cultivate, he would probably be able to truly activate his spiritual body. At that time, he might even be able to take on Ye Qingmei head-on. Of course, even if he couldn¡¯t defeat her, he could still escape. A spiritual body symbolized a leap in a cultivator¡¯s abilities, which could also be said to be the foundation of a cultivator. Only by awakening a spiritual body could one start cultivating. However, what Chu Qing was looking forward to more was something he had stored in his body¡­ Chapter 17 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Young man, we¡¯re here.¡± ¡°Hmm? Oh.¡± Chu Qing scratched his head. He didn¡¯t expect to be home already. As soon as he returned home, Chu Qing smelled the fragrance of food. His father had already prepared dinner. ¡°Chu Qing, why are you back so late again?¡± ¡°Oh¡­ I went to my classmate¡¯s house.¡± Chu Qing¡¯s father nagged him again. ¡°A classmate¡¯s house? Don¡¯t tell me it¡¯s a girl¡¯s house again¡­ Sigh, I¡¯ve already told you¡­¡± Before his father could finish speaking, Chu Qing had already closed the door. Fine, since I can¡¯t afford to offend him, I¡¯m just going to hide. In the end, his father compromised. His father shook his head helplessly as he said something about how men change drastically when they grow up and how men become disobedient when they grow up. Chu Qing could only chuckle and lower his head to eat. After dinner, he returned to the room. His sister did not get into trouble today. It was probably because of Chu Qing¡¯s warning yesterday. However, he was not sure how long this warning could last for his sister¡­ It was another night of cultivation. Other than cultivating, Chu Qing also carefully studied the poison mark on his left hand. In the end, he could only roughly conclude that this mark was not beneficial to him. This was a stubborn energy similar to a curse. At least, with his current cultivation, it could not be removed. It seemed that the ancient martial artists of this world were not simple. Chu Qing smiled calmly. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration. He remembered that when he was cultivating previously, he had heard of a medicinal pill that seemed¡­ to be able to remove this curse. It seemed that it was time to find the cultivators of this world. However, he did not know if there were any alchemists among the cultivators of this world. ¡­ The next day at school. ¡°Chu Qing, let¡¯s grab a bite.¡± Lin Dong said. Chu Qing was stunned for a moment before nodding. In the last class of the morning, which was physics, Chu Qing¡¯s usual diligent attitude disappeared due to boredom. He ended up sleeping through two classes and even played with his phone during one of them. Of course, he wasn¡¯t studying for the rest of the lesson. Instead, he played a game of passing notes with the girls around him. Although most of the girls wrote him love letters, Chu Qing still enjoyed it. He was simply reliving the beautiful memories of his student days¡­ ¡°What do you want to eat?¡± ¡°Whatever you want.¡± As Lin Dong spoke, he wanted to hug Chu Qing¡¯s arm again, but the latter dodged him again. This is f*cking hard to look at. Chu Qing didn¡¯t want to become like the boys around him! ¡°Come on, Tang Ziyan! Come on, Tang Ziyan!¡± ¡°He¡¯s so handsome!¡± ¡°Tang Ziyan!¡± The stunned Chu Qing came to a halt. This time, Lin Dong finally took advantage of the situation and held his arm, looking elated. However, in the next moment, Chu Qing pulled his arm away. He thought for a long time and finally remembered this name. It¡¯s her! Tang Ziyan! ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Lin Dong looked at Chu Qing in confusion. Although Chu Qing had been acting strangely for the past two days, he was still very loyal to him as usual. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Lin Dong, go and grab a bite first. I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to eat with you today.¡± As Chu Qing spoke, he ran toward the crowd. That was where the school¡¯s basketball court was. ¡°Tang Ziyan! Tang Ziyan!¡± Chu Qing squeezed through the crowd with difficulty. These boys seemed to have gone crazy. They looked like the girls in his previous life who were crazy about idols and crazily cheered for the people they liked. It¡¯s really her! Chu Qing was a little confused, excited, and hesitant. Tang Ziyan was his first love in high school. After three hundred years in the cultivation world, Chu Qing had almost forgotten what she looked like. He wondered what she looked like now. At this moment, Tang Ziyan was playing basketball, going one-on-one against another girl. Probably because girls¡¯ stamina was generally better than boys¡¯, basketball had become a sport exclusive to women. Tang Ziyan was like a swift leopard. She made three consecutive feints, shaking the defending girl until she almost fell to the ground. Then, she took a step forward and jumped for a slam dunk! ¡°Tang Ziyan!¡± ¡°Tang Ziyan!¡± As expected¡­ she was completely different from the memories of his previous life¡­ Chu Qing held his forehead and felt a little helpless. In that case, it was better not to acknowledge each other, lest both parties were embarrassed. Chu Qing was about to turn around when a refreshing voice suddenly stopped him. ¡°Hey.¡± Chu Qing ignored the voice and continued walking forward. ¡°Wait!¡± Seeing that Chu Qing was about to leave, Tang Ziyan ran two steps forward and placed his hand on Chu Qing¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Have we¡­ met somewhere before?¡± Tang Ziyan asked. The surrounding crowd was in an uproar! ¡°Heavens! Am I seeing things? The self-proclaimed aloof and cool school ¡°hunk¡± Tang Zhiyan actually took the initiative to start a conversation!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, and she struck up a conversation in such an old-fashioned way!¡± ¡°Wait a minute¡­ This man seems to be the school belle of our school. Chu Qing!¡± ¡­ Chu Qing was helpless and could only turn around to look at Tang Ziyan. Tang Ziyan looked at him seriously, her eyes filled with curiosity. She smiled bitterly. Perhaps Tang Ziyan didn¡¯t even know why she was holding him back¡­ ¡°We don¡¯t seem to know each other.¡± Chu Qing slapped her hand away, but his heart skipped a beat and his breathing stopped. Maybe¡­ I still can¡¯t let her go. ¡°No, we¡¯ve definitely met before.¡± She still hadn¡¯t changed¡­ This stubborn look was exactly the same as in his previous life. Chu Qing shrugged with an undeniable expression. Chapter 18 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°This¡­ Do you know how to play?¡± Tang Ziyan picked up the basketball and handed it to Chu Qing. Chu Qing smiled. Was it the memory of her previous life that was interfering with her? In her previous life, he had really taught Tang Ziyan how to play basketball. ¡°Tsk, how can a boy know how to play basketball¡­¡± Someone at the side said with jealousy, probably because the school hunk Tang Ziyan had taken the initiative to talk to Chu Qing. ¡°Then¡­ Do you want to play? I can teach you.¡± Tang Ziyan scratched her head with a blank expression. She was exactly the same as in his previous life. Only Chu Qing understood her the best. Many people evaluated Tang Ziyan as cold and aloof, but only Chu Qing knew that Tang Ziyan was simply a little foolish. ¡°Gosh, is this a confession¡­?¡± ¡°That¡¯s impossible. How could my goddess confess to another boy¡­¡± ¡°No, that¡¯s not true¡­¡± Wails and howls came from the surroundings, but these sounds were automatically filtered out by Chu Qing. At this moment, in his eyes, there was only Tang Ziyan. ¡°Well, actually, I can play basketball.¡± Chu Qing waved his hand, and Tang Ziyan¡¯s basketball appeared in his hand, spinning between his fingers. ¡°How is that possible? He knows how to play basketball?¡± ¡°Gosh, am I going to witness a basketball match between the school belle and the school hunk?¡± The surrounding crowd exploded and successfully attracted more people to watch the commotion. For a moment, the court was filled with people. Most of the boys were Tang Ziyan¡¯s fans and those girls¡­ ¡°Look, it¡¯s the school belle, Chu Qing!¡± ¡°Ahhh!! She¡¯s so beautiful, and she actually knows how to play basketball!¡± ¡°Hehe, if I had the chance to play basketball with her, I¡¯d gladly give up a few years of my life!¡± ¡­ The number of fans on both sides seemed to be balanced. One of them was the school belle, and the other was the school hunk. Of course, their popularity was not inferior to the others. Chu Qing shrugged. He didn¡¯t expect the matter to blow up so much. However, since that was the case¡­ he would let these people witness it together. Witness him pursuing Tang Ziyan again! ¡°Um¡­ why don¡¯t we play a one-on-one match? If you lose, you can be my boyfriend.¡± Tang Ziyan tilted her head and said in a daze. As soon as these words were spoken, the entire court burst into an uproar. ¡°What if¡­ you lose?¡± Chu Qing said. ¡°If I lose¡­ I can agree to one condition of yours.¡± ¡°She¡¯s really as stubborn as before¡­¡± Chu Qing smiled bitterly and muttered under his breath. Besides, why did she have to pursue him by playing basketball¡­ In next to no time, the crowd vacated the court, giving them enough space. ¡°You can go first.¡± Tang Ziyan threw the ball to Chu Qing and let him attack first. However, before the ball could reach Chu Qing¡¯s hand, he waved his hand to hit the ball back. He disliked taking advantage of girls. ¡°No, you go first.¡± Chu Qing stretched his arms and got into position. He had not touched basketball for a long time, but after so long, he really wanted to play it. Of course, it was not the kind that relied on spiritual energy. This was a fair battle. Chu Qing was very curious about what Tang Ziyan was like in this world. Tang Ziyan took the ball and attacked first! Tang Ziyan seemed very skillful in basketball. She could even be compared to Chu Qing. However, it was still unrealistic for her to easily defeat Chu Qing at this level! Her speed was still alright! Chu Qing secretly made an evaluation. Tang Ziyan kept making some feints, wanting to shake Chu Qing off. However, Chu Qing was still a member of the school team back then. How could he let her off so easily? Tang Zhiyan had to work hard to get past him today! But after Tang Zhiyan attempted for a while, she suddenly spun around. This caught Chu Qing off guard and he was directly faked out by Tang Zhiyan¡¯s move.¡± Tang Ziyan dribbled and scored a lay-up! The crowd cheered. Some of the boys were so excited that their faces turned red! Chu Qing rotated his wrist. It had been too long since he played basketball, so he was a little rusty. He had to be serious next! It was still Tang Ziyan¡¯s possession. As long as Tang Ziyan scored two more goals, she would win. Tang Zhiyan dribbled the ball and made the first move. However, Chu Qing guarded her tightly, not giving her any opportunity to score. But just when Chu Qing thought he had Tang Zhiyan under control, the latter suddenly stepped back and made a jump shot! At this moment, a pitch-black shadow appeared in midair. Tang Ziyan¡¯s expression finally changed! How is this possible? Bam! With a crisp sound, Chu Qing jumped high and blocked the shot! ¡°H-How could he jump so high!¡± ¡°He doesn¡¯t look like a boy at all!¡± ¡°How can he be so handsome! I¡¯m going to write him a love letter today!¡± The fangirls around Chu Qing cheered, and the atmosphere reached its peak after Chu Qing smiled evilly! Chapter 19 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Now, it¡¯s my turn.¡± Tang Ziyan nodded. However, in the next moment, she was dazzled by Chu Qing¡¯s technique. How was it possible that his basketball skills were so agile? Chu Qing made a feint while Tang Ziyan went to defend. However, in the next moment, he accelerated past her smoothly! Chu Qing jumped up high and dunked the basketball into the net! ¡°H-How can he be so fast?¡± Tang Ziyan¡¯s face was filled with disbelief. Chu Qing easily scored the next two shots. ¡°I¡­ I lost.¡± Tang Ziyan finally reacted. The two of them were on completely different levels, but Chu Qing was only a man¡­ The crowd¡¯s jaws dropped. Tang Ziyan, who was known as the school hunk, was not only cool, but she was also publicly acknowledged as the best in their high school in basketball. But now, she was defeated so easily? And the one who won against her was the school belle¡ªa boy! ¡°Chu Qing!¡± ¡°Chu Qing!¡± ¡­ The students shouted Chu Qing¡¯s name. Chu Qing¡¯s layup move just now had attracted most of the girls. If most of them had only heard of Chu Qing¡¯s title as the school belle before, Chu Qing¡¯s handsome actions today had made them hardcore fans! ¡°What is your condition?¡± Tang Ziyan looked resigned to her fate as she looked at Chu Qing. There seemed to be some faint anticipation in her eyes. ¡°I don¡¯t have any¡­ How about I woo you?¡± Chu Qing smiled evilly and reached out to gently pinch Tang Ziyan¡¯s face. The crowd was stunned. So Chu Qing¡¯s condition¡­ was just to take the initiative to woo Tang Ziyan? How could there be such a domineering boy? ¡°How can you be so domineering¡­ I¡­¡± A boy grabbed the hand of the boy beside him. His face was slightly red, and he looked like he was yearning for love. ¡°I also feel that¡­ he¡¯s so handsome!¡± The boy¡¯s face also turned red. Tang Ziyan was stunned for a long time before she understood what Chu Qing meant. Tang Ziyan burst out laughing. ¡°What are you laughing at?¡± Chu Qing was confused. He looked at Tang Ziyan, who was smiling and squatting on the ground, in a daze. ¡°I am laughing at how silly you are. If you want to pursue me, you still need some ability!¡± ¡°Huh?!¡± Chu Qing was dumbfounded. Why did this girl suddenly become so arrogant? She was different from her previous life! After Tang Ziyan finished speaking, she smiled arrogantly and turned to leave. Chu Qing gritted his teeth in hatred. Despite feeling a strong desire to confront Tang Ziyan, Chu Qing managed to control himself and left the scene. Ability? I¡¯ll show you my ability. I easily pursued you in my previous life. What else can I not do in this life?! In the afternoon, Chu Qing went to look for Lin Dong to inquire about Tang Ziyan. Then, he was ruthlessly mocked by that fatty, Lin Dong. ¡°No way. You don¡¯t even know Tang Ziyan?¡± Lin Dong chuckled and looked like he was keeping him in suspense. However, he was then beaten up by Chu Qing and wailed. ¡°Tang Ziyan¡¯s the coolest girl in our school. Not only is she good at physical education, but her studies are also the best!¡± ¡°I also heard that¡­ Tang Ziyan¡¯s family seems to have a very powerful background, but I¡¯ve never heard her mention it.¡± ¡°Sigh, such a heavenly beauty will naturally become the goddess of the entire school. People like us can forget about it¡­¡± ¡°I see¡­¡± Chu Qing looked thoughtful. He really did not know much about Tang Ziyan¡¯s family. Although the two of them were close in his previous life, they had not developed to the extent of meeting her parents. She had never mentioned her family. ¡°Hey, Chu Qing, why are you asking about her? Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re mesmerized by her. Let me tell you¡­ she¡¯s known to be cold. I¡¯ve never seen her take the initiative to pursue any boy¡­¡± Chu Qing was not interested in listening any more. This fatty¡¯s information was too slow. The incident at noon would probably reach many people¡¯s ears very soon, but this fatty was obviously still in the dark. Ignoring him, Chu Qing began to ponder. Tang Ziyan said I need some ability¡­ Did she mean I have something else to learn? Chu Qing smiled. Learn? This is too simple! Perhaps motivated by Tang Ziyan, Chu Qing started to take his studies seriously. Fortunately, he found the material quite manageable. Beep. Beep. Chu Qing¡¯s phone rang. He saw that it was a message from Ye Chenxi. ¡°Little Qing will pick you up tonight.¡± Chapter 20 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Chu Qing threw his phone into his pocket and ignored everything outside. He was only focused on reading the classics of Confucianism. In the blink of an eye, school was over. Chu Qing walked out of the school gate first. As expected, Little Qing was already waiting for him at the school gate. After getting into the car to cultivate for a while, they arrived at the Ye family¡¯s huge villa again. Chu Qing had already been here once, so he was familiar with it. This time, no one came looking for trouble with him. With Ye Chenxi¡¯s return and Ye Qingmei¡¯s current injuries being fine, Ye Mei¡¯s secret operation had basically failed. Hence, they did not dare to do anything else. What awaited them next was a strong counterattack from Ye Qingmei¡¯s faction. Little Qing led him to the same room as last time. Perhaps it was because all the work at home was on Ye Chenxi, so she did not see Ye Chenxi this time. Ye Qingmei was the only one in the room. She was reading a book. ¡°You¡¯re here.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Chu Qing nodded. Ye Qingmei stood up and took off the only coat she had on, revealing her delicate figure again. ¡°Let¡¯s do it then,¡± Ye Qingmei said with a smile. She could feel that the array formation in her body had clearly become weaker. Although the range was not huge, it at least gave her hope. Chu Qing said that it would only take two days to roughly dissolve the poison in her body. Chu Qing wasted no time as he placed his hand on Ye Qingmei¡¯s back and used his other hand to steady her chest. Focusing on his mind, he began to channel the spiritual energy within his body. His realm had also advanced because of yesterday¡¯s unexpected breakthrough in pure spiritual energy. 30% of his spiritual body had been unlocked, so he was even more familiar with it this time. Under his orderly mobilization of spiritual energy, one of the silver needles began to melt at a visible speed. At the same time, pure energy slowly passed through his arm and entered his body. However, what made him slightly worried was that the pitch-black curse energy could not be weakened. It could only flow into his body with pure energy. 10 minutes later, Chu Qing melted a silver needle. He wiped the sweat on his forehead. Today, he could try to melt two silver needles. ¡°How about it? If it doesn¡¯t work, we¡¯ll take it slow.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need. We can resolve another one today.¡± Chu Qing said slowly. The situation of the Ye family was changing rapidly. If he could help Ye Qingmei remove the problems in her body as soon as possible, it would be more beneficial to Ye Qingmei¡¯s faction. Chu Qing took a deep breath and mobilized the spiritual energy in his body to start working again. 20 minutes later, another silver needle was neutralized with a soft sound. Chu Qing¡¯s face was also a little pale. Such a long period of mobilization of fine spiritual energy was extremely devastating to the mind. Even Chu Qing could not last long. ¡°That¡¯s all we can do today. If we do it again tomorrow, it will probably be completely resolved.¡± After Chu Qing finished speaking, Ye Qingmei tried to use her ancient martial arts techniques. Indeed, as he had said, he did not need to do anything to the remaining curse array formation. She could resolve it herself, but it would take a longer time. ¡°Yes¡­ Thank you, Chu Qing.¡± ¡°No problem. It¡¯s what I should do.¡± Ye Qingmei put on her clothes and began to scrutinize Chu Qing. This was the first time she realized that this young man was quite good-looking. Furthermore, his abilities were not weak. He would probably be a good partner in the future. She considered letting Ye Chenxi handle things at home after this incident. Squeak. ¡°Mom, is Chu Qing here?¡± Ye Chenxi pushed the door open with a smile on her face. ¡°Ye Chenxi, you¡¯re here.¡± Chu Qing hurriedly stood up and pretended to chat with Ye Chenxi. Just now, Ye Qingmei¡¯s gaze made his hair stand on end. It was as if¡­ a magical beast had seen its favorite fruit. ¡°Well, is today¡¯s treatment done?¡± ¡°It¡¯s done. I think I¡¯ll be able to recover in another day.¡± ¡°That¡¯s great. After Mom recovers, I must let Ye Mei have a taste of the clan rules¡­¡± Ye Chenxi waved her fists as if she was already immersed in the scene of revenge. ¡°Alright, Chenxi, send your friend off. Bring him out to play.¡± ¡°What about you¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine. There¡¯s nothing more to do here. I still have to discuss something with your aunts¡­¡± As Ye Qingmei spoke, a hint of ruthlessness appeared in her eyes. Chu Qing knew that those people would probably not have a good time. ¡°Mm, okay!¡± Ye Chenxi was so happy that her eyes curved into crescents. From the start, she had invited Chu Qing out for a meal. In the end, she still had not eaten. After Chu Qing bid goodbye to Ye Qingmei, he left with Ye Chenxi. ¡°Tell me, my lucky star, what reward do you want?¡± ¡°Reward?¡± Chu Qing smiled. Although Ye Chenxi had become like a little girl after experiencing so many things, her upbringing from a young age still made her persist in her feminist thoughts. At this moment, an idea suddenly flashed across Chu Qing¡¯s mind. He thought of something ¡®naughty¡¯¡­ Chapter 21 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Should I¡­ make Ye Chenxi do my bidding? Chu Qing had a naughty smile on his face. The more he thought about it, the happier he became. He was really looking forward to Ye Chenxi wearing a maid outfit and lying on the bed saying to him, ¡°Punish me, Master.¡± ¡°What are you laughing at¡­ Why do you look so indecent?¡± Ye Chenxi looked at Chu Qing strangely. ¡°N-Nothing. Oh, by the way, you should head back and look after your family.¡± ¡°No, I promised to treat you to a meal. I didn¡¯t get to treat you to a meal that day¡­¡± ¡°Alright, it¡¯s fine. It won¡¯t be too late to treat me to a meal after your family matters are over.¡± Chu Qing stroked Ye Chenxi¡¯s hair. It was unexpectedly smooth. Ye Chenxi looked surprised at first, but then she slowly lowered her head. This feels so good! Chu Qing was overjoyed, but he knew that he had to influence her bit by bit. Ye Chenxi still agreed with Chu Qing¡¯s suggestion. Although Ye Qingmei said that she was no longer needed here, Ye Chenxi knew that her family was currently short of people. After leaving the Ye family, Chu Qing walked alone on the road as he recalled his gains. After absorbing a large amount of spiritual energy again, most of Chu Qing¡¯s spiritual body had already been unlocked. The next time Chu Qing helped Ye Qingmei remove all the curses, he would probably be able to unlock his spiritual body completely. Squeak. A pitch-black car suddenly stopped in front of Chu Qing. A man in pink pajamas and a pair of extremely mismatched black sunglasses got out. At the same time, two burly women in suits got out behind him. Chu Qing stopped in his tracks. It looked like he did not come with good intentions¡­ He was a little confused. These two days, there were always troubles coming to him. He was also a little helpless. ¡°You¡¯re that¡­ Chu Qing?¡± The man tilted his head, and the woman beside him quickly lit a cigarette for him. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s me. Why?¡± Chu Qing frowned slightly. The men in this world were very unpleasant to him, but they were not as annoying as the man in front of him. Chu Qing already wanted to step on this man¡¯s face a few times. ¡°Hehe, I heard that you¡¯re the one chasing Tang Ziyan. Pfft!¡± The man spat out a mouthful of phlegm as he spoke. He took a puff of smoke and continued, ¡°Why don¡¯t you take a look at yourself? Haven¡¯t you heard of Li Youwei?¡± Chu Qing stared at the man as if he were an idiot. No wonder troubles knocked on his door¡ªit was all because of Tang Ziyan. He didn¡¯t expect that in this generation, there would still be the idea of a femme fatale. ¡°Damn it, I, Li Youwei, am asking you a question!¡± As Li Youwei spoke, he took two steps forward and raised his right hand. He was about to slap Chu Qing! Chu Qing swiftly grabbed Li Youwei¡¯s arms and pinned him to the ground, causing him to cry out in pain and lay still, unable to move! ¡°Hey, you¡­ What are you two waiting for? Go! I¡¯m going to feed you phlegm today!¡± Chu Qing smiled. The spiritual energy had already flowed from his dantian to his limbs and bones. He pressed down on Li Youwei with one hand and placed his face on the spit just now. Then, his other hand turned golden and punched a burly woman who was coming at him, sending her flying! The other woman raised her leg and stomped, but Chu Qing grabbed her with one hand and threw her behind him! Chu Qing slowly lowered his head. Li Youwei was still clamoring. ¡°Punk, remember to bring more people next time you come out to show off.¡± Chu Qing chuckled. ¡°You got guts! My Li family won¡¯t let you off!¡± ¡°Also, Tang Ziyan will definitely marry me. You won¡¯t even be able to get her family¡¯s approval!¡± Hearing Li Youwei¡¯s words, Chu Qing frowned slightly. In that case¡­ is Tang Ziyan in trouble? It seemed like he had to ask around¡­ Looking down at Li Youwei, Chu Qing suddenly thought of something. Ye Chenxi once told him that the family that Ye Mei secretly colluded with was the Li family¡­ However, these things had nothing to do with him for the time being. The Ye family would settle this matter. The most important thing now was to figure out what had happened to Tang Ziyan¡¯s family. Where should I go to gather information¡­? Chu Qing thought about it as he walked and couldn¡¯t help but smile. After helping her for so long, it was time to trouble her again. Chapter 22 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Hello? Chu Qing, this is the first time you¡¯re calling me¡­ Tell me, why are you looking for me?¡± Ye Chenxi smiled brightly. Chu Qing could not help but feel a little awkward. He began to regret taking the initiative to make this call. ¡°I¡¯d like to get some information. Do you know anyone in that area?¡± ¡°Yes¡­ I do. I¡¯ll send it to you. Tell her that you¡¯re with Sis Ye.¡± ¡°¡­ Okay.¡± After a while, two messages came in one after another. The first was the person¡¯s contact information and the other¡­ Your bank account has received 100,000 yuan. Chu Qing was stunned for a moment before he understood what Ye Chenxi meant. He did not expect Ye Chenxi to be so thoughtful. She knew that he was a poor student and did not have much money on hand. Information was often the most expensive. At this moment, Chu Qing suddenly realized something¡­ He had been in this world for so long, but he still seemed to be poor! Although he was also a poor person when he was in the cultivation continent, he could rob to survive in that world! Chu Qing rubbed his head. In the beginning, he didn¡¯t want to get too involved in this world, but things didn¡¯t go as he wished. The longer he stayed, the deeper his connection with this world became. Therefore, he had to think of a way to get some money. As Chu Qing thought about it, he dialed the number. ¡°Hello? Who is this?¡± A lazy voice came from the other end of the line as if the person was still asleep. ¡°Hi¡­ Ye Chenxi introduced me to you. I want to buy some information.¡± Chu Qing was a little surprised. He didn¡¯t expect this information seller to be a woman. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll see you at Crescent Bar at twelve tonight.¡± ¡°Wait, wait a minute. How am I going to¡ª¡± Beep. Beep. Beep. Before Chu Qing could finish speaking, the call was hung up. How mysterious¡­ At the other end of the line. ¡°Yawn¡­ Why did I get a call so early in the morning¡­¡± The girl rubbed her hair and her eyes were blurry. Her house was in a mess. There were takeout boxes and parcels bought online everywhere as if these things were all she had in her life. The girl forced her eyes open and took the laptop. ¡°Let me see who this guy is. Sis Ye actually got someone to contact me for once¡­¡± As the girl quickly operated the computer in front of her, Chu Qing¡¯s profile picture was pulled out, with all his personal information at the side. Seeing Chu Qing¡¯s photo, the girl¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Oh, you¡¯re quite good-looking. Then I have to dress up properly.¡± At this moment, her phone beeped twice. She had received a message. Ye Chenxi sent the text. ¡°Hua¡¯er, this is my man. Take it easy.¡± ¡°Huh? How stingy!¡± Hua¡¯er sat up and her eyes darted around. She chuckled evilly as if she was thinking about something. ¡­ 11:30 pm. After confirming that his parents were asleep, Chu Qing quietly got up from the bed. As for his sister¡¯s room, he did not even have the desire to listen. It would be awkward if he heard something like ¡°Take off your pants, little brother.¡± again. He opened the window and jumped lightly. The height of the fourth floor was nothing to him, and he landed lightly. Unexpectedly, it was the Crescent Bar again. Previously, he had bumped into Ye Chenxi here. As soon as he entered, he heard someone calling his name. ¡°Chu Qing, over here!¡± Chu Qing turned around and saw a loli with two ponytails waving her hands and calling out to him. Is she¡­ the one selling me information? In his impression, intelligence dealers usually wore black coats and black hats with the brim lowered, often whispering, ¡°Brother, what information do you want?¡± But what¡¯s going on now?! The intelligence dealer is actually an innocent-looking Loli? ¡°Hello¡­¡± Chu Qing walked over and reached out to her. ¡°My name is¡­ Chen Huahua. You can call me Hua¡¯er.¡± Chen Huahua suddenly leaned over and whispered into Chu Qing¡¯s ear. The tingling voice made Chu Qing¡¯s entire body go limp. Fortunately, Chu Qing¡¯s willpower was very strong. He nodded and sat opposite her. ¡°Well, let¡¯s talk business¡­¡± ¡°Would you mind having two women at the same time?¡± Before Chu Qing could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Chen Huahua. Chen Huahua stood up and walked to Chu Qing¡¯s side before sitting down generously. Chu Qing looked like he was shocked. ¡°Hehe, I can tell that you¡¯re a virgin. I¡¯m just joking with you, little brother.¡± ¡°Oh¡­¡± Chu Qing wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and took a sip of the fruit juice in front of him. ¡°What¡¯s your relationship with Ye Chenxi? If you¡¯re not her lover, then be my boyfriend.¡± Pfft! Chu Qing spat out the juice he had just drunk. ¡°Ahem, um, I¡¯m here to buy information¡­¡± Chu Qing said word by word. ¡°Oh¡­ Alright then. What information do you want to buy?¡± Chen Huahua looked a little disappointed. Her fair legs swayed under her long dress. ¡°It¡¯s information about Tang Ziyan. You should have heard of her, right?¡± ¡°The one you openly confessed to on the field?! Is she your girlfriend?¡± ¡°She¡¯s not!¡± Chu Qing resisted the urge to crush the cup in his hand. Who exactly is this Chen Huahua? Where is the innocent Loli? Why is she so scheming?! Speaking of which, how did she know so much? It was one thing to know his appearance from the beginning, but now, she clearly knew a lot about him. She probably did some investigation on him. ¡°Oh¡­ Hehe, can I chase you then?¡± ¡°Information¡­!¡± Chu Qing gritted his teeth and said word by word. ¡°Oh¡­¡± Chen Huahua continued to lower her head and played with her fingers, saying: ¡°Tang Ziyuan¡¯s large family has a company as its main body, and many big companies in Jinmen City have the Tang family as their backer.¡± ¡°Recently, I heard that¡­ the Tang family¡¯s industrial chain isn¡¯t doing well, so their financial situation isn¡¯t great.¡± ¡°The Li family proposed a marriage alliance with the Tang family, offering to marry off Li Youwei to them. This would enable them to provide some support to the Tang family.¡± ¡°Marry Tang Ziyan of the Tang family!¡± Chu Qing exclaimed. Chen Huahua took a sip of fruit juice and continued. ¡°That¡¯s what you wanted to ask, right?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Chu Qing nodded. He didn¡¯t expect the Tang family to have such a powerful background. Why hadn¡¯t he heard her mention it in his previous life? She probably didn¡¯t want to put him under too much pressure¡­ ¡°Any other questions?¡± ¡°Yes, there¡¯s another problem.¡± Chu Qing took a deep breath and continued, ¡°I want some information about alchemy.¡± Chapter 23 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Alchemy?¡± Surprise flashed across Chen Huahua¡¯s face, which didn¡¯t escape Chu Qing¡¯s eyes. ¡°Yes, alchemy. Do you know anything about it?¡± Chen Huahua seemed to have thought of something and took a long breath. She looked at Chu Qing suspiciously and said, ¡°Do you really not know? The Tang family you just asked about is a family that specializes in refining pills.¡± ¡°I see!¡± Chu Qing was enlightened. No wonder Chen Huahua looked at him strangely. However, what Chen Huahua didn¡¯t know was that Chu Qing didn¡¯t know much about this world. ¡°I want to know more about alchemy.¡± Chen Huahua¡¯s expression was a little complicated. She thought for a moment and asked another question. ¡°What kind of pill refinement do you want to know?¡± ¡°Could it be that there are several types of alchemy?¡± This time, Chu Qing was surprised. ¡°That¡¯s right. There¡¯s one type of pill refinement in the ordinary world and the other type¡­ I don¡¯t know much about it.¡± Chu Qing¡¯s eyelids twitched. Although Chen Huahua didn¡¯t say it explicitly, he understood what she meant. In other words, there were two groups of alchemists in this world. One of them might be the people from the ancient martial arts families. These people could use their outstanding internal strength to refine pills. As for the other group, were they¡­ The same as him? ¡°That¡¯s true. You were recommended by Sis Ye, so your background probably isn¡¯t that simple. You probably know a little about the world of ¡®those people¡¯. I can¡¯t get the alchemy information about their world, but I can tell you about the ancient martial arts families, though I don¡¯t have the prescription.¡± Chen Huahua sighed and said slowly. Chu Qing nodded. He could see the difficulty in Chen Huahua¡¯s eyes, and this was probably the biggest concession she could make. ¡°I¡¯ll have to trouble you with it then.¡± ¡°It¡¯s no trouble. I¡¯m just doing things for money¡­¡± Chen Huahua rubbed her eyes, looking very tired. ¡°If you really want to repay me, you can be my boyfriend.¡± As she spoke, she revealed a cute smile. Chu Qing smiled bitterly. The girls in this world are really incomparably valiant¡­ ¡°Is there anything else? If there¡¯s nothing else, let¡¯s go out for supper. I¡¯m a little hungry.¡± As Chen Huahua spoke, she finished the juice in front of her in one gulp. Then, she propped her chin on her hand and lay there looking at him. ¡°Also, I want some information about secret transactions, such as¡­ medicinal herbs and so on.¡± ¡°Oh, that¡¯s it¡­ I¡¯ll send you the information together. I¡¯ll give this to you for free.¡± ¡°Two pieces of information¡ªa total of 100,000 yuan. But since you¡¯re so handsome, I¡¯ll give you a 20% discount. Let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll treat you to a meal.¡± Chen Huahua was straightforward and looked like she was really hungry. She grabbed Chu Qing¡¯s hand and left the bar. Chu Qing was a little helpless, but he was also a little hungry, so he decided to have supper together. As for the 20% discount, it was probably because of Ye Chenxi. As for where they would be having a meal, Chu Qing did not expect the two of them to come to a remote street. On this street, there was the smell of roasted meat everywhere, as well as chaotic shouting. This food stall! Chu Qing¡¯s eyes lit up. He often came out to eat and drink with his classmates in the past. He didn¡¯t expect this cute girl in front of him to have such a hobby. ¡°Don¡¯t you like it?¡± ¡°How is that possible?¡± Chu Qing shook his head and suddenly felt that this girl was a little cute. He gently held the back of her neck and walked in. ¡°Yo, Huahua, you¡¯re here. What do you want to eat today?¡± Just as the two of them sat down, a boy with fair skin walked over to take their order. ¡°I¡¯ll have 20 skewers of pig kidneys first¡ªextra spicy! And four beers!¡± The boy nodded and looked at Chu Qing. Chu Qing also ordered some food, but he had a strange feeling¡­ Could it be that the girls in this world also liked to eat pig kidneys? He quietly observed his surroundings. He realized that most of the people who came for supper were girls, who were bragging and drinking beers. There were very few boys around. Chu Qing suddenly felt a little used to this setting. The beer was served very quickly. Chen Huahua took the beer first and in an instant, half of the beer was gone. ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to drink it? It¡¯s tasty.¡± Chu Qing smiled. Is she trying to provoke me? ¡°Of course, I¡¯m drinking!¡± Chu Qing also picked up a glass of beer and drank it in one gulp. ¡°Oh, you have some skills. Looks like you usually drink a lot?¡± Chen Huahua¡¯s interest was piqued. She looked at Chu Qing, her eyes filled with curiosity. ¡°I don¡¯t drink much, but coincidentally¡­ I won¡¯t get drunk even if I drink a thousand glasses!¡± Chu Qing smiled evilly and could not help but release his aura. He was filled with pride! ¡°Alright, let¡¯s see if you¡¯re drunk after a thousand glasses. Boss!¡± Chen Huahua tapped her leg and slapped the table. ¡°Okay! I¡¯ll be right there!¡± The boy seemed to be taking the order. When he heard Chen Huahua¡¯s shout, he hurriedly scuttled over. It seemed that Chen Huahua was a popular customer here. ¡°Two more cases of beer and two bottles of white wine.¡± ¡°Right away!¡± ¡°Wait, wait!¡± Chen Huahua suddenly seemed to remember something. Chapter 24 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios After drinking a bottle of white wine, Chen Huahua¡¯s face began to turn red. Chu Qing looked at Chen Huahua, who was leaning on him, and was a little speechless. He thought that this girl could drink a lot, but he didn¡¯t expect her to lose consciousness after only drinking a bottle of white. ¡°Let me tell you¡­ that man rejected me because he thought I didn¡¯t have money!!!¡± Chen Huahua cried bitterly and rubbed her snot on Chu Qing. ¡°Alright, alright. It¡¯s all in the past.¡± Chu Qing coaxed Chen Huahua like a child and couldn¡¯t help but want to laugh. Where did the crazy girl who tried to chase Chu Qing go? Chu Qing suddenly became curious about this girl. ¡°I-I don¡¯t think I deserve to be liked. My chest is flat. I¡¯m a nerd. And I like to play games¡­¡± ¡°No, you got it wrong.¡± Chu Qing shook his head. ¡°Then do you like me¡­¡± ¡°I¡­¡± Chu Qing looked troubled. However, Chen Huahua, who was in his arms, did not speak for a long time. Chu Qing looked down and realized that she had already fallen asleep. ¡°Seriously¡­¡± Chu Qing smiled slightly. Indeed, no matter what, she was still a girl. No matter how hard she tried, she still yearned for someone she liked to take good care of her. ¡°Alright, go to sleep¡­¡± Chu Qing let her rest her entire body on his shoulder. He ate the skewers and drank some beer alone. To him, this was simply reliving the good times of his previous life. Chu Qing took out his phone. Indeed, Chen Huahua had already sent the information to his phone. There were a total of two pieces of information. The first was about alchemy. After a simple look, Chu Qing was a little disappointed. As expected, it was different from the pill refinement he had imagined. The alchemy recorded on it was the alchemy technique operated by the Tang family. However, it was only limited to using inner spiritual energy to mix various medicinal herbs and then concoct and refine them. However, even so, it was surprising to him that the Tang family had mastered a large number of alchemy techniques. They were famous worldwide. But now, because of the leakage of the pill formula, their status was in danger. After all, many large families were spying on this technology. This was also the reason why the Tang family wanted to stabilize their status through marriage to the Li family. After all, the Tang family was only a business family and lacked top experts like the Li family. Chu Yu shook his head and took a sip of beer. The pill refinement he was talking about should be the kind of pill refinement that Chen Huahua did not understand. In Chu Yu¡¯s eyes, refining pills was using spiritual energy to refine medicinal ingredients. However, up until now, he had not met anyone who cultivated spiritual energy. Was there really no one in this world, or had he not met anyone? Unknowingly, Chu Yu¡¯s connection with this world had deepened. Chu Qing opened another document. ¡°Hmm?¡± Seeing this information, Chu Qing smiled. There was actually an auction house in this world? This auction house was called World Treasures. Previously, it was run by a huge ancient martial arts family, which had been involved in ancient martial arts auctions for generations. A large number of medicinal pills flowed through their hands. However, this auction house was a little unique. Without a recommendation, one was not qualified to participate in it. This so-called recommendation required the recommendation of someone from an ancient martial arts family. Seeing Chen Huahua¡¯s comments below, Chu Qing couldn¡¯t help but smile. He didn¡¯t expect Chen Huahua to help him get an identity. Although Chen Huahua wasn¡¯t a member of an ancient martial arts family, it didn¡¯t seem difficult to get a fake identity. Coincidentally, an auction was about to start in a few days. Only then did Chu Qing realize that he desperately needed money! I should do something to earn some extra money. Chu Qing had not been worried about money for a long time. He did not expect that he would have to worry about how to earn money in this life¡­ At this moment, Chu Qing suddenly smiled. He had a good idea about earning money. After all, Chu Qing was a big shot who had cultivated to become a sword immortal in another world. He was certain the people would go crazy over the items he had from the other world. With confidence in his heart, Chu Qing happened to know something that was probably unique in this world. Its price would be sky-high, he supposed. Chu Qing secretly mobilized the spiritual energy in his body to evaporate all the alcohol in his body. It was almost time. He still had to go back and test the feasibility of that idea. ¡°Yo, pretty boy, you don¡¯t seem happy drinking alone.¡± At this moment, someone suddenly spoke to Chu Qing. He turned around and saw a drunk woman looking at him with lewd eyes. This woman¡¯s hair was afro, colorful, and there were tattoos on her arms. This kind of dressing reminded Chu Qing of a very interesting existence in his previous life. In their eyes, we are farmers, but in our eyes, they are an anomaly. This existence is called a rocker! ¡°Why don¡¯t you come and play with us?¡± As soon as the rocker finished speaking, the other three of them hooted and howled. They were so close to dragging Chu Qing over. Chu Qing smiled bitterly. Why did he seem to be unlucky recently? Wherever he went, trouble would appear¡­ ¡°Little pretty boy, what are you laughing at¡­ Do you want to have some fun with us? It will be really fun.¡± The rocker burped. She seemed to be unable to control herself as if she was about to pounce on him at the next moment. ¡°No, I have to send my friend home.¡± Chu Qing looked down at Chen Huahua, who was lying on his shoulder and said with a smile. Chu Qing didn¡¯t see this unique group any differently. After all, everyone lived differently. These people might just be living in their own world. ¡°Come on, as the saying goes¡­ A graceful gentleman is a good match for a lady.¡± As the rocker spoke, she walked forward and reached out to hug Chu Qing. Chu Qing frowned slightly. Chapter 25 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Turning his body slightly, the rocker missed. As long as Chu Qing wanted to, this drunk could not even touch him. ¡°Yo, trying to avoid me? Sisters, come and help me!¡± The rocker¡¯s face was filled with displeasure. It seemed that Chu Qing¡¯s avoidance had embarrassed her, so she called for reinforcements. The other three showed evil smiles and walked toward Chu Qing. It seemed like they had done this many times! Chu Qing¡¯s face gradually turned cold. What¡¯s this? Forcefully abducting a man on the streets? ¡°Come on, little darling. It¡¯s getting late. I¡¯ll show you that there are many bad people in the world!¡± The rocker smiled evilly as she walked towards Chu Qing, grabbing him with both hands. Bam! With a crisp sound, the rocker¡¯s hand was slapped away. Then, Chu Qing kicked her in the stomach. She squatted on the ground and wailed, spitting out everything she had just eaten! When the other three saw this, their expressions turned ferocious. They rushed towards Chu Qing! Chu Qing wrapped his arm around Chen Huahua and smiled evilly. In the next moment, his entire body turned into an afterimage! Golden light flickered under his feet. How could these people deal with one who had awakened their spiritual bodies to Level 7 or 8? In an instant, the three of them were all punched in the lower abdomen. Then, they were kicked to the ground by Chu Qing and cried out in pain. At this moment, Chu Qing reappeared. ¡°Boss, get me the bill please!¡± The waiter walked out obediently with the bill for Chu Qing. Then, after paying for it, Chu Qing carried Chen Huahua into the taxi. ¡°Where¡¯s your house?¡± Chu Qing nudged Chen Huahua, who gave him an address in a daze. Chen Huahua¡¯s house was not far from here. It was less than a kilometer away. When they arrived, Chu Qing carried Chen Huahua out of the car again. The driver looked at Chu Qing and Chen Huahua in surprise, wondering if there were still men who would take advantage of women in this day and age. He carried Chen Huahua upstairs and found the key on her body. Chu Qing opened the door. The moment he opened the door, Chu Qing was slightly shocked by the scene in front of him. The house was in a mess, and there was almost no place to stand. Moreover, the room was not very big. After a simple look, he estimated that it was only 50 square meters. Chen Huahua, who casually sold two pieces of information and had an extraordinary identity, lived in such a place? Chu Qing threw Chen Huahua onto the bed. Only then did he realize that there was a computer in this bedroom. There was even a computer in the toilet. As long as it was somewhere Chen Huahua often went, there was a computer. He suddenly realized that Chen Huahua was a hacker! No wonder Chen Huahua could obtain so much information. Some of it could even be said to be a secret. However, Chen Huahua could understand it. Nowadays, the most unsafe thing in this society was the Internet. So this Chen Huahua is a nerd. Chu Qing suddenly felt a little amused because he liked the feeling of staying at home. If he bought some snacks, he could play computer games at home for the entire day. Chu Qing shook his head and prepared to leave. It was already past four in the morning. If his father found out that he was not at home in the morning, things would probably be troublesome. ¡°Don¡¯t go¡­¡± Chen Huahua suddenly grabbed Chu Qing¡¯s hand. He was stunned. ¡°Don¡¯t go, stay with me¡­¡± ¡°Alright, I won¡¯t leave.¡± Chu Qing used his spiritual energy to check on Chen Huahua and realized that she was still sleeping soundly. She had probably said something in her sleep. Chu Qing sat beside her and couldn¡¯t help but start thinking. Why did things suddenly turn out like this? He had only come out to buy information, but suddenly, they had a drink together and had to send her home¡­ After confirming that Chen Huahua was completely asleep, Chu Qing got up and tidied up the room for her. He packed the takeaway boxes and took them away. Then, he placed a glass of water in front of Chen Huahua¡¯s bed. Chu Qing thought for a moment and left a note beside the bed before leaving. Chen Huahua only woke up after sleeping soundly for a few hours. She subconsciously drank the water by the bed in one gulp. ¡°My head hurts¡­ What happened yesterday?¡± Chen Huahua frowned and thought hard for a long time. Only then did she remember that she went out to drink with Chu Qing last night. What happened after that? ¡°Eh? How did the room become so clean? Do I still have the habit of sleepwalking and tidying up the room?¡± Only then did Chen Huahua notice that the trash on the ground had been tidied up. There was also a note by the bed. Don¡¯t drink so much next time. See you, Chu Qing. Chen Huahua¡¯s face stiffened. Could it be that Chu Qing was the one who sent her back last night? Then was he the one who tidied up the house? ¡°This is bad, this is bad. Now he knows that I¡¯m a darn nerd¡­¡± Chen Huahua screamed and made a mess in the room again. ¡­ Chapter 26 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios After leaving Chen Huahua¡¯s house, Chu Qing did not take a taxi. Instead, he ran straight home. This level of exercise was as simple as warming up for him. When he arrived downstairs, he tiptoed up the stairs and entered the room. Fortunately, the door had not been moved. It seemed that no one had realized that he had not been home the entire night. Chu Qing did not even change his clothes. He pretended to have just woken up, pushing the door open and walking out of his room. The fragrance of cooking came from outside again. ¡°Why are you up so early today?¡± When his father saw that Chu Qing had actually gotten out of bed by himself, he could not help but be a little surprised. ¡°I slept a lot yesterday.¡± Chu Qing lied calmly, his face neither red nor pale. ¡°By the way, Chu Qing, tonight¡­ You can eat out. I won¡¯t be cooking dinner.¡± ¡°Huh? Why?¡± Chu Qing was a little surprised. His father was a full-time cook now. He usually didn¡¯t leave the house. Why was he suddenly going out? ¡°Yes, I have something to deal with. We won¡¯t be coming home tonight.¡± His father¡¯s expression was a little gloomy, but there was an unconcealable disappointment in his eyes. What¡¯s going on? Chu Qing sensed his father¡¯s abnormality. Could something have happened between him and his mother? Could they have quarreled? At this moment, his mother pushed open the door and walked out. Chu Qing confirmed what he was thinking. Usually, his mother would only get up at eight or nine o¡¯clock to go to the company. Why was she up at six today? Chu Qing was a little distracted. After eating a simple bowl of porridge, he left the table and returned to his room. ¡°I¡¯m full. You guys eat first.¡± ¡°This child, why don¡¯t you eat more? Do you have enough money to spend?¡± His mother asked. ¡°Yes, I have. I¡¯ll head back to sleep a little longer.¡± Chu Qing closed the door and sat on the bed. Then, he held his breath. Any minute sound outside the door would enter his ears. ¡°Sigh¡­¡± His father let out a long sigh. ¡°What are you going to tell him?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know either. I¡¯ve let this child down. I¡¯ve let you down too,¡± his mother said. ¡°Forget it. We¡¯ll talk about this when the time comes. I still can¡¯t accept your family¡¯s arrangements.¡± ¡°After so many years, if I could accept it, why would I bring you here?¡± His mother sighed too. ¡°My family will be here in a few days. As for now, I¡¯ll delay it for as long as I can.¡± Family? Chu Qing, who was eavesdropping, had an ugly expression on his face. Although there were still many things that he did not understand, Chu Qing understood the general situation! Her mother had a family, and she was very unhappy with her family back then, so she brought her father to Jinmen City. But now, her family was coming to look for her. It seemed like he was involved in this matter as well. Chu Qing smiled evilly. If it involved him, it would be much easier. If it involved his father and mother, the problem would be more complicated. At that time, he would deal with whatever came his way. Chu Qing didn¡¯t care much about this. After confirming that they didn¡¯t talk anymore, Chu Qing left the house. Since he didn¡¯t have to go home tonight, he could do a lot of things. He still had to make a trip to the Ye family. In addition, he had to go to the auction house. In school, Chu Qing began to study what he would need for the auction in two days. He kept condensing his spiritual energy into a ball, then scattering it before condensing it again. What he wanted to make was called a Spirit Stone. When cultivating on the continent, Spirit Stones were simply an ordinary thing. They had always been commonly used on the continent. Spirit Stones could be obtained through mining spirit vein mines. There was even a chance of mining top-grade Spirit Stones. The price of top-grade Spirit Stones was not cheap, but the effect was also shocking. It could increase the cultivation speed. As for the other way to obtain Spirit Stones, it was that cultivators could condense them! However, this method was a little time-consuming. Only some lower-level martial artists would obtain some remuneration by condensing Spirit Stones and selling them. As for the true upper-level martial artists, they would directly use Spirit Stones to increase their cultivation speed. In addition, Spirit Stones could also be used to activate arrays or drive flying ships. It could be said that Spirit Stones were the basic components that supported the operations of the fantasy continent. What would happen if Spirit Stones appeared in this world? Chu Qing smiled. There was probably no way to extract Spirit Stones in this world. While he was thinking, a diamond-shaped crystal that flickered with golden light had already appeared between Chu Qing¡¯s fingers. It was crystal clear like amber and emitted a charming light. Only Chu Qing knew how powerful this was. Although this was a low-level Spirit Stone made by him, the effect was already shocking enough. He believed that this thing would definitely cause a huge commotion at the auction! At that time, wouldn¡¯t the money come like flowing water? Chu Qing absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth while making Spirit Stones. In just a short while, he had five more Spirit Stones in his hand. This was enough. He knew about hunger marketing. And something called a monopoly. The minimum estimate was that this Spirit Stone should be at least 100,000 yuan per piece. As a consumable, 100,000 yuan was already very expensive. It could be said to be an astronomical price. Chapter 27 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Chu Qing did not sleep last night. He had a hangover and stayed up late in the morning to make some Spirit Stones. Even though his physique had been strengthened, he still felt a little overwhelmed. He simply lay on the table and slept for a while. ¡°Chu Qing, are you feeling unwell?¡± Chu Qing suddenly felt someone poking his arm. He looked up and saw that it was his form teacher, an old woman, looking at him. Chu Qing¡¯s heart couldn¡¯t help but tremble. Even a sword immortal would have an instinctive fear of their teacher, especially after being taught a lesson by this old woman in his previous life. ¡°Huh? Oh, I didn¡¯t rest well last night.¡± Chu Qing said carefully. Although this old woman looked polite on the surface, who knew what other tricks she would play¡­ ¡°Oh, then lie down for a while. If you¡¯re feeling too uncomfortable, make a call back home and ask for leave.¡± The form teacher said a few words and turned to leave. That¡¯s it? Chu Qing had a look of disbelief on his face, but at this moment, an idea suddenly flashed across his mind. Oh, right! Boys in this world had special privileges! It was just like in her previous life, when a girl lay on the table and could say that she was feeling uncomfortable, she would do that. Now, a boy suddenly had this privilege! Chu Qing didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry. Should he be happy or what? He could only smile bitterly and lie on the table to sleep again! The afternoon passed in a daze. After school, Little Qing¡¯s car was already waiting for him. Chu Qing first came to the Ye family. Today was the last trip, and there were still two silver needles left. ¡°You¡¯re here.¡± Ye Qingmei took off her clothes with ease. Chu Qing didn¡¯t say much. Today was the last day and he got used to it already. Chu Qing placed his hands on Ye Qingmei¡¯s body, and the spiritual energy once again turned into tiny threads that entered her body. For some reason, Chu Qing felt that he was becoming more and more proficient in controlling spiritual energy. At the very least, he couldn¡¯t use such fine spiritual energy to perform such a detailed surgery previously. Am I becoming a doctor? Chu Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head. He cleared his mind of all sorts of thoughts and began to remove the silver needles. With a soft sound, the last silver needle was neutralized by him. A wave of pure inner energy dispersed slightly. Ye Qingmei used her own inner energy to dissipate the array. At this moment, the black mark on her back completely disappeared! ¡°It¡¯s finally done. I¡¯m going to teach those bastards a lesson!¡± Ye Qingmei put on her clothes and shouted in high spirits. Chu Qing was speechless. Indeed, the women in this world were all so valiant. At this moment, Ye Qingmei remembered that Chu Qing was beside her and chuckled. ¡°Chu Qing, thank you.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine. I¡¯m just doing my part.¡± Chu Qing was very polite. ¡°I¡¯ll have to trouble you to take care of our Ye Chenxi in the future.¡± Ye Qingmei looked at Chu Qing with a knowing look in her eyes. Chu Qing broke out in a cold sweat. She¡¯s doing this again. ¡°Alright, sorry to trouble you. If you need anything in the future, look for the Ye Family. The Ye Family will not hesitate to help you!¡± Ye Qingmei finally said something serious. Chu Qing also knew the weight of this sentence and nodded. The Ye Family¡¯s promise was worth it. At this moment, Chu Qing suddenly had an idea. It seemed that there was only one person like him who could use spiritual energy to treat illnesses and save people. Perhaps he could use this method to earn money in the future¡­ After saying goodbye to Ye Qingmei, Chu Qing left directly. The spiritual energy in his body was already saturated. Now, he needed to quickly find a place to cultivate and condense a spiritual body. After condensing a spiritual body, Chu Qing¡¯s combat strength would probably increase by a level! Originally, according to Chu Qing¡¯s estimation, he would have to cultivate for about half a year before he could condense a spiritual body again. He did not expect to obtain so much additional spiritual energy. Now, cultivating a spiritual body was imminent. When he went out, Ye Chenxi was already waiting at the door. Every time Chu Qing came, he would see Ye Chenxi. Ye Chenxi looked travel-worn. It seemed that she had suffered a lot in the past few days. ¡°Is Mom completely cured? Will there be any sequelae?¡± Ye Chenxi seemed to be a little worried and kept asking. However, after Chu Qing¡¯s repeated assurances, she was relieved. At this moment, Chu Qing suddenly felt a soft sensation on his lips. Ye Chenxi took the opportunity when he was not paying attention to secretly kiss him. ¡°Consider this a repayment. I can¡¯t send you off today.¡± Chu Qing didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry. After leaving the Ye family, Chu Qing returned home and entered a cultivation state. The most important thing now was to cultivate a spiritual body! Chapter 28 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios As expected, there was no one at home. His parents did not go home because of family matters, and his sister did not come back today. As expected, not long after the previous incident, his sister had relapsed. She probably went to some bar to have fun. Chu Qing was a little helpless. It seemed like he had to refine a treasure for his sister next time. Of course, he couldn¡¯t refine a powerful treasure. Refining treasures and medicine were on par on the cultivation continent he was on. However, Chu Qing only knew a little about alchemy. Refining precious techniques was really not elegant. However, refining a treasure that could protect his sister was very simple. This matter could only be put aside for now. Chu Qing had to break through to the spiritual body first. This way, when he went to the auction, he would have more ability to protect himself. Chu Qing believed that when his Spirit Stones appeared at the auction house, it would definitely cause a huge commotion. After all, he was the only one in this world who could refine purified crystals! However, if they did not have enough ability and were targeted by those ancient martial arts families, they would either become tools in their hands or be directly killed. Chu Qing cleared the distracting thoughts in his mind, crossed his legs, and entered a cultivation state. He slowly closed his eyes. The spiritual energy in his body felt Chu Qing¡¯s mobilization and began to surge. It flowed through his meridians and entire body. His limbs and bones were filled with spiritual energy that was about to overflow. This strange phenomenon made Chu Qing¡¯s entire body flash with golden light, and he looked as mighty as a god who had descended to the mortal world. Chu Qing took a deep breath and adjusted his condition to its best state. He chanted in his heart. Advance! In an instant, the spiritual energy in Chu Qing¡¯s body began to surge, as if his blood was raging. At the same time, it brought with it a huge pain. However, Chu Qing did not seem to realize it. He sat there cross-legged like an old monk in meditation. His skin began to turn red from the heat, but he had no intention of stopping. Instead, he accelerated the circulation of the spiritual energy in his body. At this moment, Chu Qing¡¯s dantian was like a huge vortex, absorbing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth. The spiritual energy flowed into Chu Qing¡¯s Heavenly Eye and constantly replenished the consumption of the spiritual energy in his body. Chu Qing suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes seemed to be spewing fire. He opened his right hand, and a sword slowly drifted out of his palm. The sword was rusty. Other than rust, there were also some red dried marks. Only Chu Qing knew that this rusty sword was stained with the blood of a good person. When Chu Qing entered the spatial gate, he had almost given away all his belongings, leaving only this sword. This sword was the only thing Chu Qing could not give up. To a swordsman, a sword was like their second life. Chu Qing used a special secret technique to dissolve this sword in his blood. This had already exceeded the limit of the spatial gate, so he had no choice but to use all his martial arts to be careful of the spatial gate¡¯s backlash. Chu Qing had encountered this sword by chance when he first entered that continent. He did not expect that this coincidence would make this sword follow him for hundreds of years. This sword seemed to have no limit. Chu Qing even suspected that this sword was related to his transmigration to that world. A moment later, Chu Qing finally took out the rusty sword from his body. At this moment, golden light erupted from his body again. Taking out the sword was only the beginning! The spiritual energy in his dantian began to rush out fearlessly and flow through Chu Qing¡¯s limbs and bones. Then, Chu Qing began to activate his spiritual body. Cultivators had different physiques, and everyone had different reactions to spiritual energy. Spiritual energy was colorless, but some would appear in red fiery spiritual energy, and some would appear in blue flowing spiritual energy. Chu Qing¡¯s spiritual energy was different from everyone¡¯s. His spiritual energy was golden! His rusty sword was three feet and three inches long, while the vital energy on the sword was nine feet and nine inches long! Chu Qing roared angrily. The clothes on his body suddenly exploded, revealing his body. Golden patterns appeared on his body. This was his spiritual body. Only by awakening his spiritual body could he become immortal! At this moment, Chu Qing slowly stopped the operation of the spiritual energy and panted heavily. Even though he had experienced it once, the awakening this time was very difficult. Chu Qing¡¯s forehead was covered in sweat. Chapter 29 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios His spiritual body had awakened! A smile finally appeared on Chu Qing¡¯s face. This was the best thing that had happened recently. The golden patterns on his body began to fade, revealing his good curves. ¡°Little Qing, why are you shouting at home?¡± With a creak, the door was suddenly pushed open. Chu Qing was shocked and subconsciously stood up. When the door was opened, he saw his sister standing at the door. Her mouth was wide open as if it could fit an egg! ¡°Uh, Little Qing, you¡­ take your time. I¡¯ll come back later!¡± BANG! His sister slammed the door. She probably thought that Chu Qing was alone at home, doing things that all men understood. This was a huge misunderstanding! Chu Qing¡¯s face alternated between green and white. The advancement just now was too crucial. Chu Qing didn¡¯t notice that his sister had returned at this time. After putting on his clothes, Chu Qing put away the rusty sword and turned it into a small golden sword that hung around his neck. ¡°Sister¡­¡± Chu Qing pushed the door open and walked out. He looked at his sister resentfully. ¡°Pfft! Hahahaha, why are you looking at me like that?¡± Her sister seemed to be suppressing a smile, but in the end, she couldn¡¯t help it and burst out laughing. ¡°Little guy, I didn¡¯t expect you to be so talented¡­¡± Her sister suddenly bent down and whispered into Chu Qing¡¯s ear. From this angle, Chu Qing happened to see his sister¡¯s snowy chest swaying in front of him. He couldn¡¯t help but blush. ¡°What? Your face is already red. Weren¡¯t you very domineering at the bar that day?¡± When Chu Qing¡¯s sister saw his embarrassment, she laughed even louder. She gently touched Chu Qing¡¯s lower body with her right hand, and Chu Qing¡¯s ¡°little brother¡± almost instantly stood up. ¡°Chu Xiao!¡± Chu Qing was a little helpless. He still respected his sister very much, but his sister was actually flirting with him now¡­ If not for the fact that you¡¯re my sister¡­ Chu Qing forcefully suppressed the divine artifact below and returned it to its original appearance. Only then did he take a long breath. ¡°I won¡¯t tease you anymore. Dad isn¡¯t cooking tonight. He asked me to bring you out to eat.¡± Chu Xiao became more serious and said to Chu Qing. ¡°No, I have something to do tonight.¡± Chu Qing thought for a moment and rejected her directly. He still had to go to the auction house tonight. ¡°Oh, you¡¯re not coming back tonight?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think so¡­¡± Chu Qing thought for a moment and said slowly. ¡°Are you going to spend the night with Miss Ye?¡± Chu Xiao looked at Chu Qing with a knowing smile. ¡°No, I¡¯m not. Alright, alright. Chu Xiao, do you need money?¡± At the mention of money, Chu Xiao¡¯s eyes suddenly lit up. She looked at Chu Qing like a puppy seeing food. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Did you get rich and want to help me financially?¡± ¡°Yes, I¡¯ve been doing some business recently and earned some. I¡¯ll send it to you on WeChat.¡± As Chu Qing spoke, he sent Chu Xiao 5,000 yuan. It should be enough for her sister to use for about a week. ¡°That much!? Tell me honestly, you didn¡¯t do¡­ that, did you?¡± Chu Xiao¡¯s eyes were filled with surprise as she teased. ¡°If I do that¡­ I might as well take advantage of you¡­¡± Chu Xiao suddenly turned into an infatuated girl and looked at Chu Qing. Chu Qing was speechless. Chu Qing was already used to Chu Xiao¡¯s way of joking. However, if he really believed her, Chu Qing would definitely end up in a terrible state. Now, Chu Xiao could definitely be called the devil incarnate. At least, Chu Qing could not afford to offend her now. Sigh¡­ For some reason, he missed his gentle sister from his previous life¡­ ¡°Fine.¡± Chu Xiao suddenly rubbed Chu Qing¡¯s head. ¡°I know you¡¯ve grown up and have your own thoughts, but no matter what, you have to ensure your own safety¡­¡± Chu Xiao¡¯s words suddenly warmed Chu Qing¡¯s heart. No matter what, she was still his biological sister. ¡°Yes, I know.¡± Chu Qing nodded and left. He looked at the address Chen Huahua had given him and found a message from her as well. ¡°Let¡¯s go out for a barbecue tonight. My treat!¡± Chu Qing thought for a moment. Apart from the auction house, I don¡¯t have anywhere to go tonight. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll meet you then.¡± For some reason, Chu Qing always had an indescribable feeling for Chen Huahua. In his eyes, Chen Huahua seemed to be the truest one that made his heart ache. She was rich, but her way of entertainment was very simple. She ate skewers every day and occasionally got drunk. Her usual lifestyle was that of an ordinary nerd. Shaking his head, Chu Qing hailed a taxi and told the address. Chapter 30 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios The auction house had a physical store and was quite famous. The name of this store was World Treasures Auction House. The World Treasures Auction House was located on a bustling street. However, the storefront was very small, only about 20 square meters. There was a decadent-looking young man sitting inside all year round. The young man was either playing with his phone or eating takeout every day. He looked like he had no ambition. But no one had ever dared to offend him. The purpose of this World Treasures Auction House was to let customers find what they wanted to buy. As long as the customers could think of something, the World Treasures Auction House could buy it. Although the price was several times higher than the market price, there was still an endless stream of people. It was already past nine o¡¯clock in the evening. The most prosperous commercial street in Jinmen City displayed its unique charm. Neon lights flashed, and people walked on the street. All kinds of branded shop signs began to flash, giving off a luxurious vibe. Chu Qing didn¡¯t like this atmosphere very much. He preferred quiet residential areas or noisy food stalls. There was more life there. According to the hint, Chu Qing quickly found the World Treasures Auction House. There didn¡¯t seem to be many people at the auction house today. The young man was sitting there and scrolling through his phone while yawning. ¡°What time is it¡­ Why are there still people here?¡± The young man looked up and seemed a little impatient. Chu Qing finally saw this young man¡¯s appearance. His somewhat dispirited expression could not hide his handsomeness at all. He was wearing hip-hop clothes as if he was going to participate in a party after work. ¡°We¡¯re closed. Come back tomorrow.¡± The young man told him to leave. Chu Qing was a little stunned. He did not expect this young man to be so rude as to chase him away. ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to take a look?¡± Chu Qing asked with a smile. ¡°Look at what?¡± ¡°Look at what I¡¯m selling.¡± A trace of curiosity finally appeared in the young man¡¯s eyes. He stood up and walked over. ¡°What is it? You¡¯ve already piqued my curiosity. Don¡¯t disappoint me.¡± The young man said, but there was a hint of threat in his words. ¡°Trust me, I won¡¯t let you down.¡± Chu Qing did not hide anything. Such a large auction house had been standing for so many years. Honesty was a very important quality. Chu Qing took out a Spirit Stone from his pocket. The golden diamond-shaped crystal emitted a charming light and seemed to be a little dangerous. ¡°What? So it¡¯s Topaz¡­ No!¡± Halfway through his sentence, the young man¡¯s eyes flashed, and his entire body erupted with a shocking aura. It was completely different from his dispirited image just now! ¡°This is¡­ Can I take a look?¡± ¡°Of course, you can.¡± The young man¡¯s words revealed an inquiring attitude, and Chu Qing nodded. The young man immediately took the crystal carefully. Then, he closed his eyes and carefully sensed it. A moment later, a pleasantly surprised expression appeared on his face. Chu Qing smiled slightly, but he felt relieved. From the young man¡¯s expression, this thing was definitely very rare and costly. He had guessed correctly! ¡°Hello, let¡¯s start all over again. My name is Zhai Yu. I¡¯m considered the half-baked heir of the World Treasures Auction House.¡± ¡°My name is Chu Qing.¡± Chu Qing smiled and shook his hand. ¡°Which ancient martial arts family are you from? Why haven¡¯t I seen you before¡­¡± Zhai Yu was a little curious. He was the heir of the family, so he had seen many people from the ancient martial arts families. But why had he never seen this young man in front of him? ¡°I have my own lineage.¡± Chu Qing said sincerely. Although what he said was true, a part of him was trying to act like a pretentious prick¡­ ¡°I see¡­ Then let¡¯s talk about this thing again. What¡¯s his name? What¡¯s its specific function?¡± ¡°It¡¯s called a Spirit Stone. You should already know its effect.¡± Chu Qing didn¡¯t hide its name. Spirit Stones were also the most suitable name for it. Zhai Yu nodded. He naturally cultivated ancient martial arts as well. When he held the Spirit Stone just now, he could feel that the Spirit Stone seemed to be transmitting some mysterious power to his hand, which could greatly increase his cultivation speed. ¡°How many more do you have, Mr. Chu?¡± Zhai Yu asked. ¡°Five.¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll give you a minimum estimate of 200,000 yuan for this item. There are a total of five of them. If you plan to sell them all, I¡¯ll give you a deposit of one million yuan now. Is that okay?¡± Chu Qing nodded, but he was a little happy in his heart. This thing was much higher than his estimate. The deposit was 200,000 yuan per piece. If he auctioned it all off, wouldn¡¯t it be worth two million yuan? ¡°Alright, Mr. Chu, are you free later? Please come in and have a seat.¡± ¡°No, we¡¯ll do it another day.¡± Zhai Yu nodded, but he had already secretly made up his mind to build a good relationship with Chu Qing. Chapter 31 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios After rejecting Zhai Yu¡¯s good intentions, Chu Qing left the auction house alone. Another huge problem was resolved. Chu Qing even had a bold idea. If he could use this Spirit Stone, could he build a huge business empire? Chu Qing shook his head with a smile. His relationship with them was still a little poor now. It wouldn¡¯t be so easy for him to advance. Everything depended on how big a storm these five Spirit Stones would cause for the auction and the ancient martial arts world. However, the most important thing now was to quickly increase his strength. Otherwise, Chu Qing would definitely be at the mercy of others at the auction. His identity as a seller would be exposed sooner or later. If those big families wanted to investigate, they would probably find out soon. Everything depends on the auction in a few days. Chu Qing thought as he walked and entered a dark alley. Suddenly, a cold feeling as if a venomous snake was coiling around his body emerged. Chu Qing frowned slightly. This was his intuition¡ªan instinctive reaction to danger. Chu Qing had relied on his sharp intuition to save his life many times! Chu Qing pretended to walk forward as if nothing had happened. At this moment, there was a sudden sound of air breaking beside him. It was the sound of a dagger! ¡°Sword Array!¡± As soon as he yelled, the symbol of a sword suddenly appeared around him. Then, a golden shield surrounding two flying swords enveloped Chu Qing. The dagger stabbed into it and made a clanging sound. Chu Qing slowly turned around. The eyes of a person in black clothes were filled with shock! ¡°What kind of cultivation technique is this?!¡± The man in black looked at Chu Qing¡¯s golden eyes and his legs went weak! ¡°Who sent you?¡± Chu Qing said indifferently. However, when his voice fell into the black-clothed man¡¯s ears, it was like a resounding thunder, making him feel a little dejected. The next moment, Chu Qing moved. He turned into a golden afterimage and instantly rushed to the side of the man in black. Just as the man in black was about to move, he felt a chill on his neck. It turned out that a dull long sword had already appeared in Chu Qing¡¯s hand and was now pressed against his throat. ¡°I ask. You answer.¡± ¡°No¡­ I can¡¯t¡­¡± Chu Qing smiled. The next moment, he grabbed the man¡¯s throat with his hand. The spiritual energy slowly seeped into the man in black¡¯s neck. His spiritual energy could be used for surgery or to kill! Feeling that his throat was blocked by something, the man in black made a gurgling sound. The fear of death began to descend and emerge in his head. How could he dare to kill a powerful man? The mission he received clearly only said to kill a university student¡­ When the man in black¡¯s face turned dark purple, Chu Qing slowly let go. ¡°Do you want to tell me?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll talk. I¡¯ll talk¡­¡± The man in black coughed before slowly saying, ¡°I¡­ I-I¡¯m an assassin. I¡¯ve received a commission¡­¡± ¡°Who commissioned it?¡± ¡°Li¡­ Li Youwei.¡± Chu Qing sneered. It seemed like he still needed to settle the Li family¡¯s matter. ¡°Can I go now?¡± Before the man in black could finish speaking, he felt a slight chill in his throat and his life began to flow away. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say¡­¡± ¡°But I never said I wouldn¡¯t kill you.¡± Chu Qing shrugged. The rusty sword emitted a strange red light after being stained with blood. The rust seemed to have faded a little. Chu Qing threw the man in black, who had lost all signs of life, to the ground. For some reason, after awakening his spiritual body today, he suddenly had an extremely strong desire to kill. He ignored the corpse behind him. Someone would naturally dispose of the corpse of one who came from the dark underworld. Chu Qing didn¡¯t have to worry about this. Chu Qing went straight to Chen Huahua¡¯s house and knocked on the door. ¡°Oh!¡± Chen Huahua screamed and got up from the bed. A boring soap opera was playing on the computer not far from her. ¡°He¡¯s actually here¡­¡± Chen Huahua scratched her messy hair. She had just woken up not long ago. The life of a nerd was nocturnal. ¡°Sigh¡­ Since he¡¯s already at the door, this is the only way¡­¡± Chen Huahua casually put on a loose shirt and ran over barefoot to open the door for Chu Qing. ¡°Y-You¡¯re here¡­¡± Chen Huahua¡¯s face was a little red. For some reason, ever since the last incident, she had been a little shy with Chu Qing, which surprised her. In her own memory, she had never been shy. In her words, she had been in the military all her life. When had she ever been afraid? ¡°Well, the room is very clean today.¡± Chu Qing didn¡¯t notice Chen Huahua¡¯s abnormality. Anyway, he had seen everything he needed to see on the day he sent her back. As for what he shouldn¡¯t have seen¡­ Chapter 32 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Chu Qing noticed Chen Huahua¡¯s clothes. Probably because she had just woken up, Chen Huahua was only wearing a huge, white overshirt. Through the shirt, one could clearly see the black bra inside. ¡°Ahem, um, do you have water?¡± Chu Qing suddenly felt his mouth dry and couldn¡¯t help but ask. ¡°Oh, I do.¡± Chen Huahua opened the fridge. As a homebody, she couldn¡¯t even be bothered to buy a water dispenser. So every time, she would ask the supermarket salesperson downstairs to bring water up. At most, she would just spend more money. ¡°Where¡¯s the water¡­¡± Chen Huahua bent down and looked for mineral water in the fridge. Her fridge was also in a mess. She had bought many vegetables at some point in time, but fortunately, they were not rotten in the fridge. With her back facing Chu Qing, Chen Huahua bent down, revealing the scenery under her shirt. Chu Qing swallowed his saliva. Chen Huahua¡¯s legs were very fair and straight. Although they were not very long, they were enough for a Loli. On the other hand, Chen Huahua was wearing a translucent shirt. Such a combination was fatal in the eyes of most men! Why didn¡¯t he realize that this girl had such a good figure last time? Chu Qing couldn¡¯t help but secretly think that the two of them were drunk last time, so Chu Qing didn¡¯t overthink it. He only felt that Loli was adorable. He didn¡¯t expect that after looking at her today, she was quite good! ¡°Here¡¯s the water.¡± Chu Qing was stunned. He watched as the pair of fair legs approached him and she handed a bottle of water to him. ¡°Oh, okay.¡± Chu Qing took the water and took a sip in embarrassment. He watched as Chen Huahua sat beside him. For some reason, when Chu Qing looked at that back view just now, he felt that there was an evil fire stirring in him. Even when he was with Ye Chenxi previously, he had never felt this way. Could it be that he had been drugged? Chu Qing had always controlled his body very well. He did not expect that he would lose control today. It was the same for the murder just now. Originally, Chu Qing wanted to let the assassin go after asking, but with a thought, he killed that person with a knife. ¡°Ah~ I¡¯m so sleepy.¡± Chen Huahua sat there and saw Chu Qing in a daze. She couldn¡¯t help but feel a little bored, so she stretched and revealed her delicate curves. Seeing this scene, Chu Qing¡¯s nose almost bled, and his breathing gradually became heavier. ¡°Huh? What¡¯s wrong?¡± Chen Huahua turned around and saw Chu Qing panting heavily. She couldn¡¯t help but be curious. When she saw Chu Qing staring at her, her face turned red for no reason. Although Chen Huahua acted like a pervert when she met Chu Qing last time, only she knew that she was very closed-minded. Now that she saw Chu Qing panting like an ox, she couldn¡¯t help but feel a little nervous. Seriously, I acted like a pervert last time. Why am I afraid now? Chen Huahua didn¡¯t understand herself. Would Chu Qing look down on her and treat her as a scumbag if she were to act like a promiscuous woman? Chu Qing controlled himself intensely. BOOM! Chu Qing¡¯s mind instantly went blank. The slightly cold and soft touch in his hand made him lose control. ¡°Can I¡­?¡± Chu Qing asked slowly like an idiot. Chen Huahua smiled and hugged Chu Qing. The moon was so embarrassed that it hid itself, leaving only the dim orange light in the living room. The living room was filled with a romantic atmosphere. ¡­ ¡°We actually did it¡­¡± Chu Qing sat on the sofa and subconsciously reached into his pocket, but he didn¡¯t find a cigarette. He really wanted a cigarette to calm down. ¡°I¡¯m so tired¡­¡± Chen Huahua propped herself up. Her face was filled with fatigue, and there was a hint of laziness in her fatigue. Her face was flushed. Chu Qing smiled bitterly and hugged Chen Huahua in his arms. They were incomparably intimate. On the sofa, a red mark was extremely eye-catching. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to be as strong as an ox¡­¡± Chen Huahua was like an octopus as she entangled Chu Qing as if she didn¡¯t want to leave him for a moment. Chapter 33 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°It hurts. Why did the other older girls say it felt good? Some of them even took the initiative to look for it¡­¡± Halfway through her sentence, Chen Huahua suddenly stopped talking and buried her face in Chu Qing¡¯s chest. For some reason, she suddenly felt a little shy. Chu Qing held the girl tightly in his arms. He had only been with one woman in both his lives and he never expected to be with another woman in this life. Not only that, but this girl also gave him her virginity. ¡°I¡¯ll be responsible for you.¡± Chu Qing suddenly said. ¡°Huh? Shouldn¡¯t I be responsible for you?¡± Chen Huahua looked confused. Chu Qing held his head and remembered that in this society, men¡¯s virginity was more valuable. There were even many women who had so-called virginity complexes¡­ Initially, he did not want to have a lot of presence in this world, but some things went against his wishes. Now, Chu Qing even had a woman in this world. Phew¡­ Chu Qing took a deep breath. In that case, let¡¯s conquer this world! Chu Qing felt a sense of relief as the heavy feeling in his chest slowly disappeared. He felt this way because he had made a decision. The two of them got entangled on the sofa for a while and did it again. For some reason, Chu Qing¡¯s desire today was incomparably strong. He felt like his body was burning with desire! After they were done, perhaps because Chu Qing was too strong, Chen Huahua lay on the sofa weakly and refused to move. Chu Qing had no choice but to go downstairs and buy sticks of skewers and a few bottles of beer for Chen Huahua. This was Chen Huahua¡¯s strong request. The two of them ate and drank. After eating a large skewer of lamb kidneys, Chu Qing suddenly felt the urge again¡­ They covered themselves with the blanket and made love again. ¡­ ¡°So¡­ I¡¯m going to school now.¡± Chu Qing glanced at Chen Huahua, whose eyes were filled with resentment. Last night, this guy seemed to not know fatigue. He actually asked for it twice in a row. Chen Huahua felt that she could not even walk. Fortunately, she was a nerd and did not like to head out. Chu Qing scratched his head and felt a little guilty. Last night, his desire was extremely strong. This was Chen Huahua¡¯s first experience and it was a tough one. Seeing that he still had to visit Chen Huahua at night, Chu Qing went out. After thinking for a while, Chu Qing bought a sumptuous breakfast downstairs and sent it up to Chen Huahua before leaving. When he arrived at school, he started to catch up on sleep. If it was an important class, Chu Qing would listen to it. If it was an unimportant class, he would either sleep or cultivate. After awakening his spiritual body, the cultivation of spiritual energy had just begun. Chu Qing began to cultivate his dantian, and the next realm was to turn it into a crystal. It meant to refine the dantian until it turned into a crystal. Once he was successful, the spiritual energy stored in his body would soar to another level. At that time, he would become more powerful even on the fantasy continent. Most importantly, after his dantian turned into a crystal, Chu Qing could temporarily float in the air. Chu Qing¡¯s efficiency was not bad as he cultivated and listened to class. At noon, there was a sudden commotion in the class, and the screams of some innocent young men could be heard. Chu Qing frowned slightly and ignored them. He continued to lie on the table and pretend to be asleep. In fact, the spiritual energy in his body soared. ¡°Is Chu Qing here?¡± ¡°Where¡¯s Chu Qing?!¡± ¡°Which Chu Qing?¡± ¡°It¡¯s the school belle, Chu Qing. The one who played basketball with Tang Ziyan a while ago¡­¡± Chu Qing couldn¡¯t cultivate now. Who actually came to look for him? He looked up and saw a pair of bright eyes staring at him. Chu Qing felt his hair stand on end. ¡°Tang Ziyan?¡± Chu Qing was a little speechless. Why did Tang Ziyan come to his class to look for him without a word? ¡°Yes, I¡¯m here to have a meal with you.¡± As Tang Ziyan spoke, she suddenly frowned slightly and lowered her head to sniff Chu Qing¡¯s body. ¡°A woman¡¯s scent?¡± Chu Qing¡¯s heart skipped a beat Oh no, this woman smelled it? Chapter 34 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Hmm, forget it. Want to eat?¡± ¡°Okay.¡± How could Chu Qing dare to disobey? Looking at Tang Ziyan¡¯s slightly murderous gaze, Chu Qing shrank his neck and nodded. ¡°F*ck, w-what¡¯s going on? Am I dreaming?!¡± Lin Dong rubbed his eyes and looked dazedly at Tang Ziyan, who was having a happy conversation with Chu Qing. ¡°Don¡¯t you know?¡± Beside him, Ye Mao looked at Lin Dong as if he was looking at an alien. ¡°Word has spread in the school that the school hunk is pursuing the school belle, but the former was rejected. Instead, the school belle pursued the school hunk¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t tell me the school belle you¡¯re talking about is¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s Chu Qing.¡± Ye Mao shrugged and showed Lin Dong a video. It was a video of Chu Qing and Tang Ziyan playing basketball two days ago! ¡°T-This is Chu Qing?!¡± Lin Dong was shocked. His face trembled. ¡°¡­ He¡¯s actually so good at basketball. When have we boys ever won against girls on the basketball court?!¡± Lin Dong was still in a state of great shock. At this moment, Chu Qing and Tang Ziyan had already gone out. ¡°I say, why did you suddenly want to have a meal with me?¡± Chu Qing asked as he walked. It was not easy for Tang Ziyan to take the initiative to ask someone out. Even when they were still together in his previous life, it was mostly Chu Qing who took the initiative to ask her out. Then, Tang Ziyan would reluctantly agree. ¡°Yes¡­ I just wanted to have a meal with you. I didn¡¯t mean anything else.¡± ¡°Quick, look¡­ those two people ahead are Tang Ziyan and Chu Qing. They seem to be fooling around¡­¡± ¡°Sigh, they¡¯re a match made in heaven. It¡¯s a pity that I wrote more than ten love letters to Chu Qing¡­¡± The two girls whispered behind them, but Chu Qing¡¯s hearing was extremely sharp and he could hear the contents of their conversation. Sigh, I can hear everything you say¡­ Chu Qing felt a little helpless. Tang Ziyan¡¯s face was neither red nor white when she lied. Along the way, Tang Ziyan did not speak. The atmosphere between the two of them was a little awkward. ¡°Can I hold you?¡± Tang Ziyan asked. ¡°Um¡­¡± Chu Qing felt a little helpless and took the initiative to hold Tang Ziyan¡¯s hand. From the corner of her eye, Tang Ziyan¡¯s face suddenly turned red, as if she had never held hands with a boy before. Moreover, he was not used to it! Shouldn¡¯t I be the one holding his hand? Tang Ziyan frowned slightly. Chu Qing smiled and suddenly stopped. ¡°What¡­ what¡¯s wrong?¡± Tang Ziyan¡¯s face was slightly red. Her first time holding hands had made her a little dizzy. At this moment, she was already at a loss and stood in a daze. ¡°Nothing. I just wanted to see you.¡± Chu Qing smiled evilly and pinched Tang Ziyan¡¯s face. Tang Ziyan was shocked and jumped back like a little rabbit. Then, she realized her abnormality and took over again, wanting to pinch Chu Qing¡¯s face. ¡°How dare you pinch me?¡± Tang Ziyan said angrily. How could Chu Qing let her pinch him? He pulled Tang Ziyan and continued walking. Tang Ziyan seemed to have been looking for an opportunity to take revenge for that pinch just now. ¡°Where are we going to eat?¡± Tang Ziyan asked. ¡°Well, let¡¯s go to that shop that sells hot and sour noodles.¡± Chu Qing still remembered that Tang Ziyan¡¯s favorite food in his previous life was hot and spicy noodles. That shop¡¯s hot and spicy noodles tasted very authentic. Chu Qing had a deep impression of the small shops around the school. The real delicacies were not those so-called snack streets but hidden in the marketplace, especially around some schools. ¡°Okay.¡± Tang Ziyan was slightly stunned and nodded. She loved to eat hot and sour noodles. Could it be that Chu Qing also liked to eat it? She secretly looked at Chu Qing¡¯s side profile and shook her head. Chu Qing probably wouldn¡¯t know that she loved this shop. For some reason, Tang Ziyan suddenly felt a little lovestruck. This was a new experience for her as she had been raised as the heir of her family, with a very structured upbringing and hardly any time to just be a child. But ever since she saw Chu Qing on the field, she had this strange feeling that he was someone very important to her. Even being with him gave her a sense of security. I really want to lean on his shoulder! Tang Ziyan secretly slapped herself and shook her head. Why did she suddenly become so feminine¡­ ¡°Okay, we¡¯re here.¡± Chu Qing walked in and habitually ordered two servings of the hot and sour noodles that the two of them had always eaten before. ¡°No coriander for one of the bowls and please add more spice and vinegar.¡± Chu Qing said carefully. ¡°Huh? You dislike coriander?¡± Tang Ziyan was stunned. She disliked coriander and preferred her hot and sour noodles with more spice and vinegar. Was Chu Qing the same as her? ¡°No, I know you don¡¯t.¡± Chu Qing said calmly as if he wanted to say something very ordinary. Tang Ziyan blushed. Could it be that Chu Qing¡­ investigated me? At the thought that the boy she liked had secretly investigated her, Tang Ziyan could not help but feel excited. It was as if someone had handed her a love letter. It was filled with sweetness. Chapter 35 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios At this moment, two girls dressed casually entered the shop. They wore hip-hop clothes and seemed to have come in for hot and sour noodles. Chu Qing was expressionless, but the spiritual energy in his body began to circulate. There seems to be something wrong with these two people! Although the two of them looked casual, their pockets were bulging. Chu Qing activated his spiritual energy to detect them. Both of them had knives in their pockets! Not only that, but they had also been following Chu Qing and the rest since they left the school. If it was just along the way, why were they carrying knives? The two of them sat not far behind them, exuding a faint killing intent. Chu Qing smiled helplessly. Why does trouble always come knocking on my door? ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?¡± Chu Qing shook his head. It seemed like Tang Ziyan did not realize that danger was approaching quietly. She had been nurtured into a business-type talent. Chu Qing could not feel any internal energy fluctuations from her. Ancient martial artists had a strong aura due to their years of accumulating internal strength. This internal strength could protect and strengthen their bodies. Even elderly Tai Chi practitioners in public squares had some internal strength, though not as much as the ancient martial artists. ¡°Hot and sour noodles, coming up!¡± The boss shouted. Tang Ziyan was about to stand up when Chu Qing held her. ¡°I¡¯ll go.¡± Without waiting for Tang Ziyan to reply, Chu Qing stood up and walked towards the food counter. Just as he stood up, the two women looked at each other and saw the killing intent in each other¡¯s eyes. They suddenly stood up and walked towards Tang Ziyan. A cold light appeared in the blades in their hands. ¡°Get lost!¡± Chu Qing yelled and splashed a bowl of hot and sour noodles on one of the women¡¯s faces. It scalded her so much that she cried out and fell to the ground! At this moment, Tang Ziyan also heard the commotion behind her. She turned around and saw a woman walking towards her with a murderous expression. In her hand was a razor-sharp blade! Oh no! Coming from a prestigious family, Tang Ziyan naturally knew that they were here for her! Gritting her teeth, she grabbed the chopsticks on the table and threw them at the woman. However, the woman appeared experienced. It was obvious that she was a veteran! She quickly swung the knife toward Tang Ziyan¡¯s abdomen. Despite being in good shape, Tang Ziyan had never fought with another woman before! At the critical moment, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of her. Slash! That was the sound of a knife piercing into flesh. Tang Ziyan was stunned. She suddenly felt that her hand on Chu Qing¡¯s waist was wet. She lifted her hand and saw that it was covered in blood! Chu Qing frowned as he didn¡¯t anticipate the attackers¡¯ ruthlessness, using a lethal move as soon as they struck. He couldn¡¯t even defend himself in time! ¡°Chu Qing!¡± Tang Ziyan screamed in terror. Chu Qing took a knife for her, saving her from a pool of blood! Chu Qing¡¯s golden eyes glimmered with intensity. His clothes billowed in the wind, making him look like a divine weapon. The immense pressure caused the dagger in his body to fly off and impale into the wall! That woman spared no mercy as well. When she saw that her killing move had failed, she targeted Chu Qing¡¯s back with rich power coalesced in her palm. If this palm landed, Chu Qing would definitely be injured. ¡°Sword Array!¡± Chu Qing yelled, and a golden sword array appeared on his back. That palm directly shattered the sword array and hit his back. Blood flowed from the corner of Chu Qing¡¯s mouth. He did not expect to suffer such a huge loss today. Killing intent started to take over him! Chu Qing lifted Tang Ziyan up by the waist, protecting her and distancing himself from the two assailants. ¡°Go! They¡¯re here for me!¡± Tang Ziyan was terrified, but she tried to push Chu Qing away. Chu Qing stood there without moving. His waist injury had already been forcefully sealed by spiritual energy. At least for the time being, it would not bleed. ¡°Go? How can I leave¡­¡± Chu Qing shrugged with an extremely firm expression. ¡°You rascal!¡± Tang Ziyan¡¯s expression instantly darkened as she scolded, ¡°You¡¯re just a boy. You¡¯ll distract me by being here!¡± Chapter 36 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Although Chu Qing still looked indifferent, the expression on his face was extremely serious. ¡°You want me to leave my woman behind? Not in this lifetime.¡± Although Chu Qing said it very casually, tears fell from Tang Ziyan¡¯s eyes. This was the first time she had been protected by someone. ¡°Then, let¡¯s do it together.¡± Tang Ziyan was interrupted by Chu Qing. ¡°I can handle these two by myself.¡± In the next moment, Chu Qing rushed towards the two of them! Just now, Chu Qing was injured because he was not on guard. Now, his entire body was covered in spiritual energy. Ordinary daggers could not hurt him at all! The person whose face was splashed with hot and sour noodles also got up from the ground. Her face was filled with resentment. That bowl of hot and sour noodles had scalded her skin. As a woman, the last thing she could tolerate was being disfigured! The woman screamed and kicked at Chu Qing, creating an explosive force in the air. Chu Qing didn¡¯t dodge. In the current situation, he had to end the battle quickly or the wound behind him might rupture again. He should end the battle soon¡ªthe faster the better! Chu Qing shielded himself with his right arm. With a muffled sound, he blocked the powerful kick. That woman felt as if she had kicked a steel plate. The woman¡¯s expression changed. She didn¡¯t expect this man to be a martial artist. She was about to change her move, but Chu Qing wouldn¡¯t give her another chance. A golden light flashed on Chu Qing¡¯s right hand, and his golden fist smashed into the woman¡¯s arm. The woman was sent flying. She looked up and saw an approaching shadow. Chu Qing followed up with a kick to her face! The woman blacked out and collapsed to the ground. As for the other woman, she seized the chance to punch Chu Qing when he attacked. However, under the defense of Chu Qing¡¯s spiritual body, the woman did not cause any damage at all! ¡°Did you have a good time?¡± Chu Qing smiled evilly and looked at the woman who was stunned. How is this possible? The woman didn¡¯t seem to believe it. She coalesced white inner energy in her hand and hit Chu Qing¡¯s chest with her palm. Chu Qing¡¯s face didn¡¯t even twitch. ¡°I¡­¡± ¡°Now, it¡¯s my turn.¡± Chu Qing grabbed the woman¡¯s arm and twisted it, turning her over. Then, he smacked the woman¡¯s neck and knocked her out. Tang Ziyan was stunned as she watched from the side. When did Chu Qing become so powerful? What was the golden light on his hand? At this moment, Tang Ziyan suddenly realized something. Her pupils constricted as she exclaimed, ¡°Y-You¡¯re from an ancient martial arts family?¡± Chu Qing turned around and casually threw the woman to the ground. ¡°No, it¡¯s a little complicated, but I¡¯m considered an unaffiliated martial artist.¡± Chu Qing pondered for a moment before explaining, as he couldn¡¯t reveal that he was an immortal cultivator. ¡°Unaffiliated martial artist¡­¡± Tang Ziyan could tell that Chu Qing was hiding a secret. However, she still rolled her eyes. How can an unaffiliated martial artist be so powerful? Although Tang Ziyan did not cultivate any cultivation techniques, she could still tell that in the short confrontation just now, Chu Qing had completely relied on his absolute strength to crush the two of them. In the battle, he did not use any techniques at all. Does such a powerful unaffiliated martial artist exist? ¡°Alright, contact your family and see how you deal with these two people. They should be coming for you.¡± Tang Ziyan nodded. It was obvious that these two people were here for her. If not for Chu Qing, she might have been dead by now. After contacting the Tang family, Chu Qing¡¯s face suddenly turned pale and he spat out a mouthful of blood. ¡°Chu Qing, a-are you alright?¡± Tang Ziyan¡¯s heart raced as she quickly went over to support Chu Qing. ¡°I¡¯m fine¡­¡± Chu Qing smiled bitterly. The surprise attack, especially the palm strike, inflicted some damage on him. It had even caused a certain amount of damage to his meridians. It seemed that it was time for him to forge some simple spirit weapons to protect himself¡­ ¡°Let¡¯s go to the hospital!¡± Tang Ziyan dragged Chu Qing to the hospital. Chu Qing could not dissuade her and could only take a taxi to the hospital with her. After casually bandaging himself in the hospital, Tang Ziyan was relieved and left with Chu Qing. ¡°By the way, Chu Qing, you seem to understand my family well¡­?¡± Tang Ziyan hesitated for a long time before asking the question. She could vaguely feel that Chu Qing seemed to know something about her family. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have knocked out the two women and suggested that the Tang family settle it. She was a little worried. Did Chu Qing take the initiative to pursue me because of my family? Previously, there were many gold diggers who wanted to join a wealthy family. They did everything they could to drug and set up traps. ¡°The Tang family? I know a little about them.¡± Chu Qing went silent for a while before speaking. I see¡­ Tang Ziyan felt as if her heart had shattered. She did not expect Chu Qing to be such a person. Did he approach and protect her for the sake of her family? ¡°Because I met someone¡­¡± ¡°Who did you meet?¡± ¡°I met Li Youwei.¡± Chu Qing said slowly. ¡°Li Youwei? What about him?¡± Tang Ziyan¡¯s face was filled with shock. Why did Chu Qing meet Li Youwei? The two of them could be said to have no interaction at all. How did they meet? She was fully aware of Li Youwei¡¯s character. He was wicked, malicious, and a pawn for the Li family. The Li family sought to control Tang Ziyan by using Li Youwei, and it was the first step in their plan to take over the Tang family¡¯s vast business empire! But why did Li Youwei look for Chu Qing?! Chu Qing took a deep breath and said slowly, ¡°On the night you confessed to me, I met Li Youwei. He found a few people to stop me and told me not to get close to you.¡± ¡°You were not in danger, were you?¡± Only now did Tang Ziyan realize that she had misunderstood Chu Qing. Her heart was filled with worry for him. Li Youwei¡¯s vicious ancient martial arts circle was notoriously famous. ¡°How is that possible? How can I not be able to deal with those mongrels?¡± Chu Qing rolled his eyes. ¡°I see¡­¡± Tang Ziyan lowered her head, her heart filled with shame. She didn¡¯t expect Chu Qing to be in danger because of her, and she was still suspecting that Chu Qing had approached her because of her family. ¡°Since you mentioned this, I have something to tell you.¡± Chu Qing pulled Tang Ziyan into a cafe. ¡°Waiter.¡± ¡°Hello, what can I get you?¡± A male waiter said respectfully. ¡°Two cups of coffee, please.¡± Chu Qing and Tang Ziyan found a quiet corner and sat down. Chapter 37 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Well¡­ what do you want to talk about?¡± Tang Ziyan respected Chu Qing a lot. He was a powerful martial artist qualified to speak to her as an equal. ¡°The World Treasures auction is happening in two days.¡± The World Treasures Auction House? Tang Ziyan naturally knew about this famous auction house, but she didn¡¯t know why Chu Qing suddenly mentioned it. ¡°I didn¡¯t know until later that your family was in some trouble.¡± Tang Ziyan nodded. There was no need to hide this from Chu Qing. ¡°I want to help you solve the Tang family¡¯s problem.¡± ¡°Can you fix it?¡± A glint suddenly appeared in Tang Ziyan¡¯s eyes, but she was a little disappointed. She did not dare to have too much hope. Only she knew how troublesome this matter was. How could it be resolved by just an unaffiliated martial artist? If it was really so easy to resolve, she would not have to worry so much. ¡°First, tell me about the trouble your family has encountered. I have a rough understanding of it, but I don¡¯t know much about it.¡± At this moment, the coffee was served. Tang Ziyan took a sip and said slowly, ¡°It happened a month ago. Our family is famous for refining medicine. We have dozens of pharmaceutical factories in Jinmen City alone.¡± ¡°In particular, we have a kind of pill that can only be refined with the help of people with inner spiritual energy. It¡¯s also our company¡¯s secret weapon. However, a month ago, that prescription was suddenly lost.¡± ¡°In addition, multiple families have recently teamed up to attack our Tang family. We found out that the Li family is involved with some of these families. I suspect that the owner of the Li family has a lot to do with this matter.¡± The Li family again? Chu Qing smiled. He didn¡¯t expect the Li family to cause trouble everywhere. Not only did they want to overthrow the Ye family, but they also wanted to get involved in the Tang family¡¯s mess. Wasn¡¯t the Li family afraid of playing with fire? ¡°Then, Chu Qing, how can you help us solve this problem?¡± Tang Ziyan looked at Chu Qing expectantly. She vaguely felt that Chu Qing was the hope of solving this problem! ¡°It¡¯s simple.¡± Chu Qing smiled evilly. In his eyes, it was really simple. ¡°Simple?¡± ¡°I just need to come up with a new formula.¡± Tang Ziyan was taken aback, and a sense of disappointment flickered in her eyes. Creating a new formula wasn¡¯t as easy as it sounded. It was a challenging process, as not only was the operation itself complicated, but also experimenting with the combination of various medicinal herbs was extremely difficult. ¡°How can it be so simple? Our family has dozens of research bases all over the country. After more than 20 years of research, we¡¯ve only developed dozens of prescriptions. There¡¯s only one that can be considered an absolute secret¡­¡± ¡°What if I have the prescription?¡± Tang Ziyan was stunned. Why does Chu Qing have the prescription? ¡°Yes, I have a few prescriptions.¡± Although Tang Ziyan trusted Chu Qing very much, looking at Chu Qing¡¯s casual expression, she was still a little upset. Chu Qing might not understand what a rare prescription was. ¡°Hmm¡­ How about this? Let¡¯s not talk about this for now. After the auction in two days, your family will pay attention to me. At that time, I can talk to you first.¡± Chu Qing did not reveal much. If he said too much now, he might be treated as bragging, especially when he saw the trace of disbelief in Tang Ziyan¡¯s eyes. Don¡¯t believe it, huh? In just two days, you won¡¯t be able to deny it. Tang Ziyan nodded slightly but also pondered. Can Chu Qing really provide the prescription? Why does he have to wait until the auction two days later to tell me? Tang Ziyan suddenly realized that she had developed a strong curiosity about this man. From the beginning, this man had a strange attraction to her, as if they were very familiar with each other. And now, this man kept surprising her. First, he was powerful in martial arts, and then he was likely to have the prescription in his hands. Chu Qing called the waiter over. The two of them had planned to have lunch just now, but after this incident, they had yet to eat anything. He was already starving. After casually ordering some food, the two of them fell silent. ¡°Why did you save me just now?¡± Tang Ziyan suddenly looked up and asked a random question. Chu Qing was eating a pastry when he heard Tang Ziyan¡¯s words. He was suddenly stunned. Why did I save her? ¡°Do I need a reason for that?¡± Chu Qing ignored her and continued eating. ¡°Yes. If there¡¯s no benefit, why would you risk being injured or even seriously injured to save me?¡± Tang Ziyan cut to the chase and asked the question. ¡°Uh, I don¡¯t know.¡± Chu Qing finally stopped eating and looked up at Tang Ziyan, thinking hard. Chapter 38 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Would you believe me if I said we¡¯ve known each other for a long time?¡± Tang Ziyan nodded. She had the same feeling and even had blind trust in Chu Qing. This was fatal to her. She was the heir of a large family and shouldn¡¯t have such inexplicable feelings. Such feelings would cause her to make some wrong decisions. Chu Qing scratched his head. He didn¡¯t know how to express himself. He couldn¡¯t just tell her that he was her boyfriend in her previous life. ¡°I feel the same way about you. I might even want to do something for you¡­ or even die for you.¡± Tang Ziyan¡¯s eyes were filled with surprise. Looking at Chu Qing¡¯s serious face, she couldn¡¯t help but lower her head. ¡°I don¡¯t know how to explain it, or even help your family. Maybe in your opinion, I might have a motive. But you¡¯ll find out later.¡± Chu Qing smiled bitterly and looked at the delicacies in front of him. He suddenly lost his appetite. ¡°Bill, please.¡± ¡­ After leaving the cafe, Tang Ziyan chose to go back to class, while Chu Qing refused as he was a little angry. He had originally planned to pursue Tang Ziyan again and slowly nurture their relationship. However, he did not expect so many things to suddenly happen and even cause Tang Ziyan to misunderstand. ¡°What a f*cking life¡­¡± Chu Qing smiled bitterly and couldn¡¯t help but curse. This feeling of everything being out of control made him feel very uncomfortable. He took out his phone and sent a message to Lin Dong, asking him to help him apply for leave. Chu Qing began to stroll on the road. Unknowingly, he had fallen deeper and deeper into this world. Chu Qing couldn¡¯t abandon any of them¡ªnot his parents, Chu Xiao, Chen Huahua, Ye Chenxi, or Tang Ziyan. I have to work harder¡­ Chu Qing raised his head, and there was a hint of realization in his eyes. Why should he care so much? If something stopped him, he would tear it apart. If it stopped him from using this world, he would simply change this world! Chu Qing couldn¡¯t help but feel a sense of pride and ambition. He heaved a long sigh of relief. At this moment, he realized that he had unknowingly arrived at the location of the Ye family. The Ye family was not far from his school. Looking at their huge mansion, Chu Qing approached it as if nothing had happened. Speaking of which, he didn¡¯t know how the dispute between the Ye family and the Li family was going. He might as well take this opportunity to check it out. ¡°Hmm?¡± Chu Qing suddenly looked up in confusion. He felt his heart palpitate. It¡¯s Ye Chenxi! Chu Qing suddenly came to a realization. Previously, he had used his spiritual energy to mark Ye Chenxi. Not only Ye Chenxi, but he had also marked his parents, sister, and even Chen Huahua and Tang Ziyan. Only martial artists who cultivated spiritual energy could discover and come into contact with them. This mark could let Chu Qing discover their location and he could use this method to confirm their safety. However, he did not expect that Ye Chenxi¡¯s mark would suddenly be erased! ¡°Oh no, did something happen to Ye Chenxi?¡± Chu Qing¡¯s heart tightened. At the very least, Ye Chenxi could not remove this mark, and Ye Qingmei could not resolve it either! ¡°Damn it!¡± Chu Qing relied on the feedback from his spiritual energy just now to confirm Ye Chenxi¡¯s location. Ye Chenxi was speeding forward in a speeding car and the direction¡­ He could not determine it! At this moment, Chu Qing suddenly thought of someone. This person would definitely be able to help him! Chu Qing took out his phone and dialed a number. ¡°Hello? Chu Qing, is class over?¡± A slightly lazy voice came from the other end of the phone. The person on the other end seemed to be still a little sleepy. ¡°Chen Huahua, help me find someone¡¯s location.¡± ¡°Who? What happened?¡± ¡°Ye Chenxi has been kidnapped!¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll send you the location immediately!¡± Chen Huahua could tell from Chu Qing¡¯s tone that the matter was serious. She didn¡¯t say anything else. Instead, she turned on her computer and started locating Ye Chenxi. Chu Qing dialed another number. ¡°Zhai Yu?¡± ¡°Yes, it¡¯s me. Do you have time to have a meal with me today?¡± Zhai Yu seemed to be in the shop, but there was no sound around him. It seemed that the business today was not very good. ¡°No, I need your help with something.¡± ¡°What is it?¡± When Zhai Yu heard Chu Qing¡¯s tone, his expression immediately became serious. ¡°I need a car.¡± ¡°Where are you now?¡± ¡°I¡¯m at the main entrance of the Ye family!¡± ¡°Okay!¡± Zhai Yu hung up and shouted, ¡°Everyone, get out! The World Treasures Auction House is closed today!¡± The house was crowded with people, including managers and celebrities from well-known companies. However, when they heard Zhai Yu¡¯s order to dismiss them, they silently left without a word! Zhai Yu seemed to be unable to wait any longer. With a leap, he grabbed the wall and rushed out. A luxurious sports car in the distance beeped twice and started automatically! Chapter 39 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios In just two minutes, with the unique sound of a luxurious sports car, a Lamborghini stopped in front of Chu Qing. The driver was Zhai Yu! Chu Qing didn¡¯t say anything else and got into the car. ¡°Where are we going?¡± Zhai Yu glanced at Chu Qing while the latter was looking at his phone, which appeared to have been hacked. Suddenly, an app automatically appeared on his phone. The app was a map, showing a red dot moving rapidly. Chu Qing knew that this red dot represented the car he was looking for and that Ye Chenxi was in this car. ¡°Here!¡± Chu Qing showed Zhai Yu his phone and the latter nodded in agreement. Immediately, the Lamborghini sped away with a loud rev of its engine. Chu Qing realized the reason behind Zhai Yu¡¯s quick arrival only after getting into the car. Zhai Yu had beaten numerous red lights on his Lamborghini and drove at more than 150 mph throughout the city. He did not expect Zhai Yu to be a racer. He was like a completely different person as he drove. His eyes were filled with seriousness. His driving skills were definitely top-notch. Chu Yu stared at the red dot as he pointed the way for Zhai Yu. Even though this was the first time the two of them were cooperating like this, they displayed astonishing tacit understanding. In just a few minutes, they caught up to their target. ¡°That¡¯s the car!¡± Chu Qing frowned slightly and a golden light appeared in his eyes. His eyes had already locked onto a van in the distance. At the back of the van, Ye Chenxi was lying unconscious! ¡°Make that car stop. Don¡¯t hit the back of the car. Can you do that?¡± ¡°Of course.¡± Zhai Yu was full of confidence. The next moment, the Lamborghini sped up again and reached 200 mph. The Lamborghini passed them first, and then gradually slowed down. Suddenly, it swerved and hit the front of the van with its tail! How could the van compare to this Lamborghini? The van tilted and hit the guardrail at the side. The Lamborghini came to a stop, its tail swaying as well. ¡°Thanks, man.¡± Chu Qing didn¡¯t say anything else. He just thanked him and jumped out of the car, walking towards the van! ¡°F*ck, is this kid crazy?¡± ¡°Cough cough, Second Brother, pull me up.¡± Smoke billowed out of the van, and two people climbed out. They suddenly saw a thin figure walking towards them in the distance. ¡°Hey, kid, are you courting death? Did you drive that car?!¡± The older brother cursed at Chu Qing. He took out a steel pipe from near the car door to threaten him. However, Chu Qing acted as if he didn¡¯t see anything. In the thick smoke, he seemed to be carrying something. In the next moment, the older brother¡¯s pupils constricted as he saw Chu Qing close his eyes and take a step, covering a distance of over ten meters. Only then did he see that Chu Qing was holding a rusty sword in his right hand. The rusty sword fluttered in Chu Qing¡¯s hand. Suddenly, the world seemed to have turned upside down. The older brother witnessed his own body! Chu Qing didn¡¯t even blink when he beheaded the older brother. Instead, he continued to walk forward step by step. BANG! A gunshot rang out, and a bullet flew toward Chu Qing¡¯s head. A cold glint flashed across Chu Qing¡¯s eyes, and in the next moment, he had already appeared beside the younger brother! He didn¡¯t even have time to fire a second shot before Chu Qing closed in on him! ¡°Stay away. I have a gun¡­¡± Before the younger brother could finish speaking, a rusty sword had already stabbed into his chest. The tip of the sword pierced through his chest, and blood splattered. The tip of the sword was still swaying slightly. ¡°I¡­ I¡­¡± The younger brother muttered and tried his best to keep his eyes open. Chu Qing swung his rusty sword and tossed the corpse aside. ¡°Great skills, young man.¡± At this moment, the sound of clapping suddenly came from the van. Two people in sect robes walked out. ¡°I was wondering how long you were going to hide.¡± Chu Qing smiled and wiped his rusty sword, but his eyes were not on the two of them. ¡°I see you¡¯re quite skilled and your bone age isn¡¯t very old. Do you want to join us?¡± ¡°Join you?¡± Chu Qing observed the two of them closely, noticing that they were wearing uniforms that resembled those of disciples from a certain sect. Otherwise, it was uncommon for people to dress in such a way. In his previous life, Chu Qing understood a little about them. There were many so-called Buddhism and Legalism schools. There were very few people who could defy the heavens and cultivate. It was just that he had never met them. He did not expect to finally meet them now. Chapter 40 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°That¡¯s right, join our Quan Zhen Sect¡­¡± Before the Taoist on the right could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Chu Qing. ¡°Quan Zhen Sect? I¡¯ve heard of them before, but how did the Quan Zhen Sect produce two trash like you?¡± ¡°Trash?¡± The Taoist priest on the right turned red. ¡°Senior, let¡¯s attack together and kill this shameless man! The one on the left holding worldly dust was the senior. ¡°Sigh, it¡¯s one thing to insult the two of us, but to insult our sect¡­¡± As the senior spoke, he suddenly widened his eyes and waved the dust in his hand, firing an invisible energy shot toward Chu Qing! Meanwhile, Chu Qing was still wiping the rusty sword, and there was a hint of joy in the junior¡¯s eyes. His senior was an expert in invisible attacks and they were extremely destructive. That arrogant young man will surely lose his power in an instant! However, before the invisible energy could reach Chu Qing, it was blocked by a golden barrier around Chu Qing, causing strong ripples. ¡°With such weak skills, you dare to venture down the mountain to banish demons and do good? I advise you to return to the sect and cultivate for a few more years.¡± Chu Qing smiled disdainfully. ¡°How dare you insult Senior! I¡¯ll teach you a lesson!¡± The junior was filled with rage as he rushed towards Chu Qing, leaving a trail of faint red afterimage behind him. The junior had a fire spiritual body. In other words, he could control fire energy. ¡°Roar!¡± The junior let out a furious roar and threw a punch at Chu Qing¡¯s face! Only then did Chu Qing seem to move his body and stop wiping the rusty sword. Golden energy appeared around him. In the next moment, he easily dodged the punch! What?! The junior¡¯s eyes showed a hint of surprise. However, in the next moment, he pulled out a three-inch-long iron rod from his long sleeve and swung it at Chu Qing with a buzzing sound! Holding the rusty sword in one hand, Chu Qing used it to block the iron rod, creating a clear and sharp sound. The junior felt a powerful force pushing against his hand, almost making him lose his grip on the weapon. This time, his surprise turned into shock. How is he so powerful with just a sword?! Most martial artists who specialized in sword fighting loved nothing more than engaging in duels and taking an unconventional approach. They excelled at wielding swords due to their lightness and agility. However, the opponent in front of him appeared to be using a rusty longsword to block his attacks, which was unexpected and unconventional. And what exactly was that golden spiritual energy? ¡°My Fire-toad Rod!¡± The junior snarled. There was a faint mark on his rod after it clashed with the sword. Around the mark, rust began to appear. ¡°How dare you destroy my weapon!¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong with that?¡± Chu Qing shrugged and stabbed again! His internal energy was incredibly powerful, giving his attacks absolute destructive force. As a result, he didn¡¯t hold back or go for light, agile strikes. Instead, he charged forward, his sword piercing through the air with great force! Swish! With a soft sound, Chu Qing slashed again before the junior could even check if his weapon was damaged. For a moment, the sound of metal colliding filled the air. The two of them exchanged dozens of blows in a short period of time. Sh*t! The junior was enraged when he saw the Fire-toad Rod in his hand split into two. His master had refined the weapon for him, which greatly facilitated his use of the fire element. He did not expect it to be broken in the middle of the battle! ¡°My Fire-toad Rod!¡± The junior widened his eyes as he yelled. Only then did he notice that his rod was already covered in rust. It was as if this weapon had rusted and aged for countless years in just moments! ¡°Junior, come back!¡± The junior wanted to continue fighting Chu Qing to death. But in the next moment, his right arm was cut off by Chu Qing¡¯s sword. The rusty sword could cut through iron like mud, let alone human flesh! ¡°My arm!!!¡± The junior was at his wits¡¯ end. This was the first time he had encountered such a powerful opponent since he started practicing cultivation. However, he knew that he would never have the chance to face another opponent again! The senior became anxious. He had brought his junior down the mountain to train, but he did not expect to encounter such a powerful opponent. In just a few clashes, Chu Qing had cut off his junior¡¯s arm. The senior¡¯s demeanor changed as he charged toward Chu Qing. He no longer looked graceful and immortal. Instead, he looked frantic. He launched several airballs mixed with hidden wind blades from the worldly dust in his hand. ¡°Let him go!¡± Chu Qing smiled evilly and completely ignored the senior¡¯s growls. Instead, he picked up the junior with one hand. The moment the wind blades arrived, he lifted the junior in front of him! Shing! The sound of sharp weapons piercing into flesh could be heard. The junior¡¯s struggling roar slowly faded, and his eyes were filled with confusion. Am I not one of the strongest cultivators in this world? How did I¡­ end up like this?
