Chapter 79

    Chapter 79: Women are Fickle Creatures, Men are Big Oafs!

    “Qingqiu, shall I escort you home?” Jiang Che turned to Shen Qingqiu with a smile.

    “Sure.” Shen Qingqiu nodded. With Ye Chen gone, there was no point in staying.

    As they were about to leave, Zhou Lingxi called out from downstairs, “Jiang Che, Yun’er needs you.”

    “What does she want?” Jiang Che turned, puzzled.

    “She has a gift for you, to thank you for saving her,” Zhou Lingxi said, glancing at Shen Qingqiu suggestively.

    “Xiao Che brother, you should go see her. I’ll wait for you here,” Shen Qingqiu said, glaring at Zhou Lingxi. She clearly understood the insinuation in Zhou Lingxi’s words.

    Jiang Che nodded without further comment and headed upstairs.

    “Sister, aren’t you worried your man will be stolen by Yun’er?” Zhou Lingxi teased playfully. “After all, which man could resist such a cute little loli like Yun’er?”

    “Shut up!” Shen Qingqiu snapped back at her, annoyed.

    Then Zhou Lingxi realized she had been too rash and her face turned awkward. She had forgotten Jiang Tungji was still there.

    “Junior Sister, why do you look so gloomy?” Shen Qingqiu asked Gu Yunqi, noticing her unhappy demeanor. She was unaware of Ye Chen’s kidnapping of Gu Yunqi’s sister.

    “Ye Chen kidnapped my sister...” Gu Yunqi replied, her voice tinged with bitterness. “Now that he’s dead, I have no idea where to find her.”

    “Don’t worry, good people are blessed. I’ll spread the word and ask the Shen family to help search,” Shen Qingqiu reassured her.

    “I hope so...” Gu Yunqi sighed.

    In Jiang Yun’er’s room upstairs, Jiang Che entered and sat on a chair beside the bed.

    “What do you want?” he asked, curious about her intentions.

    “Brother, thank you for saving me today...” Jiang Yun’er shyly said, her cheeks blushing and her voice soft.

    “Don’t thank me. I had a grudge against him, and you’re Qingqiu’s junior sister. It was only right,” Jiang Che replied, feeling a flutter in his heart.

    “It’s different... Brother, come closer, I have something to tell you.”

    “What’s wrong?” Jiang Che sat beside Jiang Yuner’s bed and asked in confusion.

    “A little closer...”

    As Jiang Che leaned in, Jiang Yun’er suddenly kissed his cheek. “Thank you, brother, this is a reward...” she said shyly, then covered her head with the blanket, hiding her embarrassment.

    “This little girl...” Jiang Che chuckled, touched by her gesture.

    Identity: Jiang Family’s Eldest Young Master

    Cultivation: Late Innate Stage

    Villain Points: 8000

    Techniques: “Limitless Pure Yang”

    Owned Items: Mysterious Treasure Box ×1, Human Infant Burp Bag ×100, Marrow Cleansing Pills ×5, Good Luck Charms ×3, Kitchen Knife ×1, Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles.

    “Open the mysterious treasure box.”

    “Ding, opening the mysterious treasure box.”

    “Ding, congratulations to the host for acquiring the technique Mysterious Heavenly Scripture.”

    ...

    “System, introduce Mysterious Heavenly Scripture.” Jiang Che looked at the technique rewarded by the system, feeling a bit excited. His intuition told him that this technique was not that simple.

    “‘Mysterious Heavenly Scripture is an internal cultivation method of the Xuan Tian Sect, which can be cultivated up to the Shattering Void Realm.”

    “Can be cultivated up to the Shattering Void Realm?”

    Jiang Che gasped, admitting to himself that he was shocked. His current technique, “Limitless Pure Yang,” could only be cultivated to the peak of the Innate Stage.

    He had been worrying about the cultivation method, but he didn’t expect to directly obtain the Mysterious Heavenly Scripture.

    “Let’s upgrade the cultivation tomorrow.” Looking at his remaining villain points, Jiang Che felt tempted but quickly suppressed the urge and lay down on the bed, falling asleep soundly.

    ...

    The next day, around noon. Jiang Che groggily opened his eyes, got up from the bed, and went to the backyard to upgrade.

    “System, upgrade cultivation.”

    “Ding, deducting 5000 villain points, upgrading ‘Limitless Pure Yang.”

    After about two hours, Jiang Che slowly opened his eyes.

    Peak Innate Stage, achieved!

    Feeling the more abundant internal energy in his body, Jiang Che was somewhat excited. Indeed, his efforts in tricking Ye Chen were not in vain. This feeling of being full of power was truly great.

    “System, I want to accept the new plot.” Jiang Che stood up, dusted off his clothes, and spoke to the system in his mind.

    “Ding, plot transmission in progress...”.
