Chen Jiuyang, catching the faint fragrance from Ji Lengyue, felt a flutter in his heart. With one arm around her waist and the other supporting himself on the ground, he asked, "Officer Ji, what if I don't want to get up?"
Ji Lengyue's pretty face flushed, and her beautiful eyes shot him a glare. "Don't think that just because your cultivation is higher than mine, you can bully me as you please!"
With that, Ji Lengyue struggled with all her might, trying to break free from Chen Jiuyang's embrace. However, Chen Jiuyang's strength was immense, far beyond what someone who had just entered the Yellow Realm could contend with.
Seeing Ji Lengyue struggle, Chen Jiuyang tightened his grip on her waist. Ji Lengyue's delicate body was pressed tightly against Chen Jiuyang's, and he could feel the alluring softness of her curves, which made him feel rather… amorous.
Feeling Chen Jiuyang's persistent teasing, Ji Lengyue opened her red lips and bit down hard on his neck. "That's for bullying me!"
Chen Jiuyang yelped in pain. He flicked his large hand, sending a surge of true qi to the ground, causing them both to stand. He then playfully slapped Ji Lengyue's backside. "You little rogue, Officer Ji, you even bite people."
Her backside stinging, Ji Lengyue glared at Chen Jiuyang. A hint of amusement flickered in her beautiful eyes, and her pretty face was still slightly flushed. "Who asked you to bully me? You deserve it."
Ji Lengyue possessed a fiery spirit, unlike ordinary delicate women.
Chen Jiuyang chuckled. "Officer Ji, you ambushed me first. I only held you to prevent you from getting hurt. How is that bullying?"
"Hmph!" Ji Lengyue snorted coquettishly. "My injuries have healed. I'm ready to return to the Six Doors and resume my investigation into your father's case."
"Regarding that matter…" A cold glint flashed in Chen Jiuyang's eyes as he recounted the recent events to her. "Officer Ji, you must not interfere with this case for the next six months, or you will be implicated."
"Outrageous!" Ji Lengyue exclaimed indignantly. "These Wang family members are truly shameless, dragging the Zhong family of the Marquisate into this and even issuing a royal decree!"
"Your father was bailed out on probation, but he could be arrested and brought back to the Six Doors at any moment."
Chen Jiuyang replied, "I know. That's why I'm preparing other contingencies."
He thought, *Well, Wang Tian and Wang Chongyun don't have many days left. They've hidden in the Zhong residence. When they die, it won't have anything to do with me. After all, their bodies are perfectly 'healthy' according to the medical examinations!*
*The Five Poisons Severing Life Needles were their last chance. Not only did they not repent, but upon learning of my Grandmaster-level strength, they immediately fled to the Zhong residence. Not only did Ji Lengyue have to act, but they also tried to poison my father. Now, they can just wait for their sudden death in over twenty days!*
*In over twenty days, when Wang Chongyun, Wang Tian, Zhong Ali, and others are dead, Zhong Zhuiwu might become desperate and break the rules of the royal decree to attack me. At that time, Ji Lengyue could also be implicated.*
Chen Jiuyang said, "Lengyue, after you return to the Six Doors and resume your duties, try not to investigate cases. For the next month, it's best if you stay within the Six Doors and cultivate. I see you haven't fully refined the pure yang qi I transferred to you."
"You underestimate me," Ji Lengyue declared proudly, puffing out her chest. "I am now a Yellow Realm expert. I can apply for a promotion and become a senior constable investigating all sorts of secret cases."
"Secret cases?" Chen Jiuyang was taken aback.
"Cases like yours, Jiuyang, are ordinary criminal cases," Ji Lengyue explained. "Like the ghost killing incident at the Qiu family last time, it escalated from an ordinary case to a secret case. Now that I'm a Yellow Realm expert, I can officially become a secret case constable."
"Once I become a secret case constable, I can enjoy the fortune amplification of the Six Doors and improve my strength."
Chen Jiuyang's heart trembled. Fortune amplification?
Previously, Marquis Feng Han had vaguely mentioned it. Once Chen Jiuyang advanced to the Earth Realm and was willing to accept a marquisate, he would gain access to related information. However, the Medical Immortal's legacy contained no such details.
Chen Jiuyang pondered for a moment. "Since you want to become a secret case constable, Lengyue, I'll teach you another defensive cultivation technique."
Ji Lengyue's beautiful eyes lit up.
"This technique is called the 'Lesser Formless Art.' It can conceal your aura, grant you the ability to disguise yourself, and also enhance your true qi amplification," Chen Jiuyang said after some thought, then passed on the technique to Ji Lengyue.
Just by hearing the name and effects of the technique, Ji Lengyue knew it was extremely precious. After all, she had never seen or heard of such an excellent cultivation technique within the Six Doors.
Ji Lengyue's beautiful eyes sparkled with emotion. "Jiuyang, why are you so good to me?"
Chen Jiuyang smiled and replied, "If I'm not good to you, who else will be?"
"Hmph!" Ji Lengyue pouted, her face blushing. "Quickly teach me the technique."
"Alright, alright," Chen Jiuyang agreed. He spent an hour imparting the technique to Ji Lengyue.
After teaching her the technique, Chen Jiuyang took out a bottle of Pure Yang Qi Replenishing Pills. "You have the Ice Bone Jade Body constitution and are a virgin. When cultivating the Ice Bone Jade Body Art, you will have an advantage in yin qi. When you are exhausted and out of true qi, you can take one pill to save your life."
"This card has ten million yuan. The Six Doors' usual allowances aren't much, so take it and treat yourself well."
Ji Lengyue already had the pure yang true qi transferred by him within her body, so taking the Pure Yang Qi Replenishing Pills was not an issue.
Seeing Chen Jiuyang's meticulous and considerate treatment of her, one gesture after another, Ji Lengyue's heart couldn't help but flutter. She had initially wanted to refuse, but then she remembered that she had been completely exposed when Chen Jiuyang treated her injuries. She had suffered a great loss. With a soft hum, she accepted the bank card.
"I'll come find you next time."
With those words, Ji Lengyue quickly left the hospital.
Chen Jiuyang was preparing to return to his home in Ziyang County when he received a call from his father, Chen Jianmin. "Jiuyang, are you in Fengcheng?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
Chen Jianmin replied, "Your mother, Xiao Ya, and I are in Fengcheng."
"I'm out of prison now. We're going to visit your grandparents' place."
Grandparents' place?
Chen Jiuyang's brow furrowed slightly, showing his displeasure, but he didn't refuse.
Chen Jiuyang didn't have much affection for his grandparents' family; in fact, he felt a sense of aversion.
After Chen Jianmin was imprisoned, his grandparents never visited him. Furthermore, when Chen Yating broke a classmate's phone, Zhang Xiuzhen went to her parents-in-law to borrow money, but she didn't get a single cent. In her desperation, she had to borrow from Huang Dahu at exorbitant interest rates.
Could such grandparents still be considered family?
However, his grandparents had raised Chen Jianmin, and as a filial son, Chen Jiuyang felt it was his duty to visit them now that his father was released.
Chen Jiuyang found his father and mother in Fengcheng. He casually bought some gifts and then drove towards a residential area in Fengcheng called 'Boyao Garden'.
Upon reaching the entrance of the residential area, the security guard was surprised by the Mercedes-Benz G-wagon Chen Jiuyang was driving. Seeing Chen Jiuyang's unfamiliar face, he understood and asked, "What brings you to the community?"
"I'm here to visit relatives. My grandparents live here."
The security guard nodded, opened the main gate, and let them in.
Watching the tail of the Mercedes-Benz G-wagon disappear, the security guard murmured to himself, "Are there such wealthy relatives in this community?"
