Chapter 69: Chapter 69 Another One

But that figure had already disappeared from her sight.

She looked at Chen Xiao in confusion. "Did you see that wrong? Sister Lan hasn’t been feeling well these past two days and took time off."

"Maybe I did see it wrong..." Chen Xiao shook his head. The female voice from upstairs, though disguised, still sounded familiar.

It really sounded like Qin Lan’s voice.

"The matter is settled. I’m leaving. There are still things to handle at the office," Luo Qingli said flatly, then picked up her bag and walked away.

Zhang Yaqing suddenly chuckled. "Miss Luo, when I go to Mr. Chen for treatment later, I’ll need to move in over there. You won’t mind, will you?"

"Suit yourself." Luo Qingli paused, then left after that indifferent remark.

Lu Wushuang watched her junior martial brother helplessly and shook her head. He was just naturally popular with women.

What else could she say?

She reminded him meaningfully, "With so many beautiful women, can you handle them all? Your health is important."

Chen Xiao was rather helpless. "Senior Sister, you think I’m that kind of person too?"

Though he was carefree by nature, he wasn’t the type of man whose legs would give out at the sight of a beautiful woman, was he?

Besides, he and Luo Qingli had an agreement not to interfere in each other’s lives. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be acting this way.

Lu Wushuang took another sip of red wine. "Jiang Tianquan, the eldest young master of the Jiang Family, is truly a formidable figure. Years ago, he was a renowned Martial Dao prodigy in Jinling, and then he was sent to the army for several years of training. Even I can’t see through his depth! Moreover, judging by his schemes and the way he handled things just now, he’s nothing like a profligate such as Jiang Tianyi. We all need to be careful from now on. Who knows if they’ll get desperate and do something to harm us!"

Chen Xiao nodded slightly.

Zhang Yaqing giggled. "Mr. Chen, give me your address. I’ll move over later and have you give me a few acupuncture treatments to alleviate my condition."

Her provocative gaze made Chen Xiao’s knees go weak.

Under her persistent coaxing, Chen Xiao had no choice but to give her the address.

"Scumbag!" Xu Yanran glared, her brows furrowed in anger. He was already married to Luo Qingli, yet he was still flirting so ambiguously with other women. Disgusting!

The guests gradually departed, and Chen Xiao’s group left the venue as well.

Not far away, inside a luxury car, the brothers Jiang Tianyi and Jiang Tianquan sat wreathed in smoke. Their eyes were fixed grimly on the direction Chen Xiao’s group had gone.

Jiang Tianyi gritted his teeth. "Big Brother! You just let him take the item? That’s a treasure of our Jiang Family!"

Jiang Tianquan was silent for a moment, his eyes flashing with ferocity. "Don’t worry. I’ll make him spit it back out, with interest. I won’t let a single one of them have an easy time."

"Let them enjoy themselves for a few more days..."

Jiang Tianyi clenched his jaw. "But I can’t swallow this insult!"

Jiang Tianquan suddenly whipped his head around, his gaze cold as he stared at Jiang Tianyi. "Don’t forget why we came here! Don’t ruin the family’s plans over a moment of impulse!"

"I..." Jiang Tianyi was choked with frustration.

"Shut up," Jiang Tianquan said coldly. "Drive. Let’s go!"

After returning to the villa, Chen Xiao personally prepared another Medicine Bath for Li Biyun. He then used acupuncture to further clear the acupoints in her body, concentrating all of that special power within her Dantian.

However, he knew this was just a temporary fix. It was better to guide the power than to block it. Instead of sealing this power, it would be better to teach Li Biyun how to control it.

Thinking of this, he spoke to Li Biyun, who was getting dressed. "I will teach you a Cultivation Technique. Memorize it well, and you’ll be able to freely control the power in your body."

Li Biyun listened in a fog, but she still nodded obediently.

Chen Xiao then orally transmitted the "Sutra of the Divine Woman" to her.

The technique’s incantation was a bit of a tongue-twister. It took Li Biyun a good ten repetitions before she finally memorized it.

Chen Xiao patted her head. "This power inside you is extraordinary. If all goes well, you should be able to refine it all into your own strength. In just a few months, you could become as formidable as your grandfather!"

This was Li Biyun’s Innate advantage.

Li Biyun’s eyes widened in utter disbelief. Her grandfather was very strong!

Could she really become as powerful as him in just a few months?

Seeing the incredulous look on her face, Chen Xiao smiled with satisfaction.

When he stepped out, he saw Xu Yanran standing in the hallway as expected, watching everything in the bathroom.

Her beautiful eyes swept coldly over him. "As long as I’m here, don’t even think about having any crooked ideas about Biyun. I’ll be watching you for Qingli’s sake!"

"You have issues..." Chen Xiao was left speechless by Xu Yanran. She was being a complete busybody.

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure appeared at the doorway, holding a suitcase.

A low-cut white top, a short skirt, and black fishnet stockings perfectly outlined her figure. She was the very picture of sexy and poised grace, standing there elegantly.

Zhang Yaqing really came?

Chen Xiao felt a headache coming on.

Zhang Yaqing blinked. "I hope my coming here isn’t a bother to you all?"

"Fox spirit!" Xu Yanran muttered. A sour feeling welled up inside her. She wasn’t sure if it was because she felt it was unfair to Luo Qingli, or because she hated seeing Chen Xiao so intimate with another woman.

She suddenly had a realization.

What business is it of mine who he’s intimate with? Why am I feeling so sour about it?

She snorted coldly, turned on her heel, and went into her room. The moment the door closed, she dialed Luo Qingli’s number. "Qingli, that scumbag Chen Xiao actually brought Zhang Yaqing home with him!"

Hearing Xu Yanran’s complaint, Luo Qingli’s body tensed slightly.

Still, she replied stubbornly, "Let him do what he wants. We’re only married by agreement. I couldn’t care less about him."

Xu Yanran was indignant. "But he’s your husband in name! Are you really going to let another woman ride roughshod over you so brazenly?"

Luo Qingli chuckled. "Aunt Xu, why do you sound even more agitated than I am?"

"I... I’m just outraged on your behalf!" Xu Yanran retorted.

After hanging up, Luo Qingli felt a turmoil of emotions. After a moment’s thought, she also began to pack a suitcase, planning to head to Chen Xiao’s villa.

Even if it was just a marriage of convenience, she, Luo Qingli, would not allow that woman to ride roughshod over her and provoke her!

I must declare my sovereignty!

"Oh dear, my luggage is so heavy! Mr. Chen, don’t you have any gentlemanly grace? Come help me with it!"

"Mr. Chen, which room is mine? I’m a little scared of the dark. Why don’t you come sleep in my room?"

"If I could sleep while holding you at night... those firm chest muscles, those broad shoulders... I can’t even imagine how safe I would feel."

Xu Yanran gritted her teeth as she listened to Zhang Yaqing’s bold and unrestrained teasing. Even an innocent girl like Li Biyun was blushing beet-red.

Chen Xiao was also getting worn down by her. He grabbed her suitcase, threw it into a room on the second floor, and said, "You can stay here if you want. The rent is one million a day, paid daily."

He hadn’t expected Zhang Yaqing to actually have the nerve to show up at his door, ready to move in. He had to resort to this tactic to make her back down. Otherwise, with this hell-raising vixen around, his peaceful days were probably over.

Hearing this, Zhang Yaqing didn’t get angry at all. Instead, she gave him a bewitching smile. She tucked a bank card into his chest pocket, then rested her delicate hand on his chest.

Her limpid, autumn-pool-like eyes lifted to gaze directly at him. "With rent this expensive," she purred, "it’s only fair that you provide some ’beauty services’ at night, isn’t it, Mr. Chen?"
