Chen Jiuyang drove his Mercedes-Benz G-wagon to the police station where Ji Lengyue was stationed, waiting for her to appear.
The area was close to the black market, and the order was somewhat chaotic, a mix of people.
Why a mix? Chen Jiuyang, a reborn immortal, sat in his car, while everyone else was like snakeskin.
Who could have imagined?
After a short wait, Ji Lengyue, wearing a blue police uniform, looking heroic and spirited with fair skin, appeared. Behind her followed some lecherous hooligans.
Chen Jiuyang rolled down his car window, smiled at her, and waved, "Lengyue."
"Ah? Why are you here again?" Ji Lengyue's beautiful eyes showed confusion upon seeing Chen Jiuyang. "Your car?"
"Yes," Chen Jiuyang nodded.
"Ah? Where did you get the money?" Ji Lengyue was a bit surprised. She remembered Chen Jiuyang as a poor student who had borrowed money from classmates for a lawyer when he was in court.
In such a short time, Chen Jiuyang was driving a brand new, top-spec Mercedes-Benz G-wagon. She found it hard to believe.
"Earned some money. Don't worry, it's all legitimate income," Chen Jiuyang said in a gentle tone.
"What do you need me for today?" Ji Lengyue asked.
In their past lives, their initial meetings and contact were always for a reason. It was only after she was injured a few times that feelings began to develop.
Chen Jiuyang smiled and said, "I just missed you, so I came to see you." His half-closed eyes held warmth, nostalgia, and longing.
That was Ji Lengyue's feeling.
Why was there nostalgia?
Ji Lengyue, the fiery and cold-faced police officer, blushed slightly, snorted, and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? If you act like this again, don't come to me anymore!"
Chen Jiuyang chuckled and said, "I really came because I missed you."
"My father's case is resolved. He came home last night."
"Congratulations!" Ji Lengyue's expression softened slightly. "It's really not easy for an ordinary person like you to overturn such a case for your father."
"It was okay," Chen Jiuyang smiled. "Thanks to your help all this time, Lengyue. Without you, my father would still be in jail, and the evidence wouldn't have been so complete."
"Are you free? Let's have dinner."
Chen Jiuyang acted like an ordinary citizen, as if he were pursuing Ji Lengyue.
Ji Lengyue hadn't yet looked at the cultivation technique Chen Jiuyang had given her yesterday.
Ji Lengyue pondered, "I'm on duty today. I'll get off work too late, it's already ten o'clock. How about tomorrow? I'm off."
"Alright," Chen Jiuyang nodded. He thought that Ji Lengyue, working as a beat cop at the police station, was too busy, which wasn't conducive to him wooing his own wife.
Perhaps he could find Xi Butui to transfer Ji Lengyue to the Six Doors headquarters for a relaxed administrative position.
As for Ji Lengyue's father's revenge, Zhou Fangzun should be able to investigate and handle it. Some things were better not known to the girl.
He decided to act on it. When the King of Yan came to Fengcheng, he would have Xi Butui transfer Ji Lengyue away.
"Alright, you can go. I still have to patrol," Ji Lengyue waved Chen Jiuyang away and was about to leave.
"Wait..." Chen Jiuyang took out a small knife and handed it to Ji Lengyue. "Take this. It can help you when you encounter danger."
"This knife... it's quite good. I'll take it then." Ji Lengyue glanced at the knife in her hand and found its quality and materials to be excellent. However, she had no idea that this knife contained Chen Jiuyang's peak Foundation Establishment stage strike power, as well as a perfected move from the Dao of Weapons.
"Then I'm leaving. Text me tomorrow, and I'll pick you up, Lengyue." Chen Jiuyang looked at her with a gentle smile.
"Okay, I got it," Ji Lengyue replied crisply.
Then she slowly walked away.
Chen Jiuyang also started his car, preparing to find a place to pass the time while waiting for Yao Zixuan to finish work so they could have dinner.
Unexpectedly, Yao Zixuan refused him, leaving Chen Jiuyang stunned. He touched his nose and said with a wry smile, "This girl..."
Yao Zixuan was stubborn. Once she set her mind on something, she wouldn't give up unless it was achieved.
There were still six months before she married Qian Sanjin, so she naturally had to work harder.
"Alright, I'll wait until tomorrow."
Chen Jiuyang drove back to Ziyang County. With sixty billion in his possession, his parents no longer needed to work. He planned to use some money to rent land and renovate the house.
However, he couldn't be too ostentatious. Ziyang County was a place where "shallow water breeds many turtles," and there were still over a dozen family sects and forces here.
He parked the car by his house, but no one was home. A phone call revealed that the family had gone to the city to buy New Year's goods.
Villagers who had gone out to work were returning one after another. As they passed Chen Jiuyang's house, they couldn't help but glance at the Mercedes-Benz G-wagon parked there.
Meanwhile, Chen Jiuyang sat by the river, contemplating his path after becoming an immortal.
The Immortal and Martial paths converged, and in this life, he couldn't touch martial arts cultivation, lest he be schemed against again.
He could only honestly follow the immortal path. Then he had to consider matters after becoming an immortal, relying on himself to reach the Eighty-One Tribulations Immortal Emperor realm.
Although his Yuanji Supreme Nine Heavens Art had been successfully converted, Chen Jiuyang had not yet decided which nine Dao paths to follow.
The primordial Daos mastered by someone like 'Zhuang Wu,' such as "Self," "Forgetfulness," "Chaos," and "Curse," were truly formidable.
As one advanced in the immortal path, the more one needed to consider defensive measures. Otherwise, one wouldn't even know if their primordial Dao power was affected by others, and they would die without knowing how.
Just as Chen Jiuyang was contemplating, he sensed two faint fluctuations approaching from the horizon...
"Hmm? What is this?"
Chen Jiuyang's expression shifted slightly. As the two auras drew closer, he couldn't help but be a bit surprised.
He saw a vibrant blue and charming energy churning in the sky, as if fleeing.
Behind it, a great spear was pursuing...
This was exactly the scene Chen Jiuyang witnessed when he first met Ming Huatong and Gong Liexian back then...
He stroked his chin, lost in thought, "Could it be that because I invited the Yan Emperor... Huatong fled prematurely, and was then discovered and pursued by Liexian..."
These two were rivals, but their karmic connection with him was not shallow.
Moreover, Ming Huatong's current state was clearly worse, being suppressed by Gong Liexian from start to finish.
Chen Jiuyang naturally wouldn't let the two fight to the death.
"Liexian, this girl... is a bit too ruthless..."
Chen Jiuyang hadn't intended to intervene, but he couldn't help himself. His spatial ring flashed, and a Dao artifact-level great bow appeared in his hand. He nocked a metal arrow and gently drew it, releasing it with a burst of energy, shooting straight into the sky.
It separated the two, allowing Ming Huatong to dodge the very dangerous Heavenly Dragon Breaking City Spear technique.
The sudden intervention in the battle startled both of them, and the power was quite formidable.
The two separated and landed. Ming Huatong landed, wearing a veil, her large, watery eyes looking at Chen Jiuyang. She bowed gracefully, her charm overflowing:
"Thank you, young master, for your assistance. How should I thank you?"
Chen Jiuyang sighed and smiled, "No need to be so polite."
Gong Liexian's expression was stern. Holding her great spear, she stared intently at Chen Jiuyang, "You'd best give me a reasonable explanation, otherwise, no matter who you are, I'll kill you too!"
