When the warm sunlight of the next morning poured into the room, Su Chen opened his eyes.

He glanced at Lin Ruoxue, who was still curled up in his arms, and a faint smile appeared on his face, feeling a sense of tranquility in his heart!

In his heart, Lin Ruoxue held a very special, irreplaceable place!

Of course, the women in the villa were all aware of this!

"Awake, huh."

After a while, Lin Ruoxue also opened her eyes, and Su Chen casually smiled and said.

Lin Ruoxue noticed him staring at her and couldn't help but ask:

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Because my wife, you're just too beautiful!"

Su Chen's sweet words came out effortlessly!

"I wouldn't believe you!"

Upon hearing these words, Lin Ruoxue's face reddened as she spat out.

However, waking up to such praise, Lin Ruoxue couldn't help but feel pleased!

Su Chen followed his usual routine, leaning against the bedhead, smoked a cigarette, then got up.

After freshening up, the two went to the dining room together and had breakfast.

After breakfast, Lin Ruoxue and the others went to work as expected, while Su Chen and Eniel went back to their rooms for cultivation, as usual.

Once in the room, Su Chen thought for a moment, then decided to familiarize himself with the Fire Control Technique from the Laws Forbidden Tome.

He felt that there was too much for him to master now—the Nine Yang Divine Technique, the Supreme Star Shifting Technique, two divine skills, researching the Elixir Chapter, among others!

However, this Fire Control Technique was not solely for crafting pills; it could also be regarded as a very special martial technique!

In essence, the so-called Fire Control Technique, as the name suggests, is a cultivation technique that controls flames!

Su Chen felt that the true Alchemy Dao might indeed require flame control, which is why the Laws Forbidden Tome placed the Fire Control Technique alongside the Elixir Chapter!

Of course, the Fire Control Technique also exists on its own!

In terms of true utility and value, the Fire Control Technique is estimated to be no less important than the Elixir Chapter!

A few hours passed, and Su Chen had only read a little bit!

The Fire Control Technique was indeed obscure and difficult to understand; Su Chen's comprehension required pondering over it several times!

Luckily, Su Chen was not in a hurry, was patient, and it instead fueled his determination to tackle the challenge!

He believed that given time, he would definitely master the Fire Control Technique!

Of course, mastering it now had little practical use because the Fire Control Technique could not control just any fire; it had to be pill fire or true fire!

Spirit fire could naturally be controlled, too, since spirit fire is one form of true fire, although it is particularly rare!

....

Meanwhile, in a top-tier luxury villa in Yandu, a young man sat imposingly on the living room sofa, handsome and impressive!

He wore a spotless white outfit, and at this moment, he was frowning in meditation, deep in thought.

Just then, a man walked in, ready to speak, but seeing the young man in meditation, he refrained from making a sound.

He knew that the young man hated being interrupted while pondering, so he stood quietly to the side.

"Have you found anything?"

After a while, the young man finally spoke blandly.

Upon hearing the question from the young man, the man immediately bowed and said:

"Young Master, this man's name is Su Chen, but nothing has been found concerning information linking him to Miss Dugu."

"The only thing somewhat remarkable is that he has been to Yun Ya Residence twice; the second time, Miss Dugu invited him alone."

The man's response was succinct, but upon hearing this, the young man's handsome face immediately showed a touch of severity!

Dugu Mingyue has invited him alone before?!

Others, even the man before him, might not grasp the implications, thinking the two merely hit it off and just chatted!

But he knew, matters weren't that simple!

In fact, he had noticed something unusual yesterday, prompting the investigation.

Although the information obtained was minimal, it further solidified his judgment!

"Young Master, I will continue the investigation."

The man considered that the information gathered was too little, believing the Young Master was not satisfied, so he promptly said.

Upon hearing this, the young man waved his hand, saying:

"No need, this is enough!"

While he spoke, the man felt as if ripples appeared in the Young Master's usually calm heart!

Upon hearing this, the man who had just entered quietly withdrew, leaving the information on the coffee table...

.....

Su Chen didn't know that the man he had coincidentally met days ago had already targeted him, even investigating his relationship with Dugu Mingyue!

If he knew, he would definitely say:

"Crazy!"

However, at the moment, he was focused on studying the Fire Control Technique, with no mind to think about it!

Su Chen deeply understood one principle: as long as one is strong, everything becomes non-issues!

This not only related to him; after all, the many women in the villa needed protection too!

He absolutely would not permit these women to be harmed!

Su Chen studied the Fire Control Technique till afternoon, feeling his head was a bit weary, so he paused for the time being.

He also realized that mastering the Fire Control Technique wasn't a matter of a day or two!

After stepping out of his room, he drove to Belle Group to refresh his mind!

Once at Belle Group, he flirted a few minutes with the cute girl at the reception before taking the elevator upstairs.

After arriving at his office, he followed his usual routine: drank a cup of tea, read some magazines, wandered around, and then went to Xia Qiuru's office.

"Busy?"

Su Chen pushed the door open with a cheeky grin.

Upon seeing him, Xia Qiuru first felt joyful, then pretended to be "aloof."

"Why are you here?"

Xia Qiuru casually said, having formed a united front with Ruoxue and Xiwen, she couldn't become a "traitor!"

"Came to see if your work is exhausting!"

Su Chen chuckled, directly moved behind Xia Qiuru, and placed his hands on her shoulders, gently massaging them.

To be honest, Su Chen's large hands seemed magical, making Xia Qiuru feel comfortable within two to three minutes.

Xia Qiuru thought that they had agreed on a half-hour time, so letting him massage a bit was fine.

At the moment, Xia Qiuru was wearing a black professional outfit on top, with a white shirt inside, from Su Chen's angle, a glimpse of a ravine could be seen!

Looking further down, there was a pencil skirt, and she sat there outlining an alluring curve!

Feeling heated, he whispered in Xia Qiuru's ear:

"Qiuru, since there's no one now, how about..."

Upon hearing these words, Xia Qiuru's heart fluttered, and at this moment, a pair of magical hands began to roam over her...
