Chapter 189 [The Next Mission] (6400)

Chapter 183 [The Next Mission] (6400)

The following morning, in the master bedroom on the third floor of the villa, the tumultuous night on the large bed finally came to an end...

Lu Sisi lay down next to Chen Yan. The girl felt so tired that she couldn't even move her little finger. Her eyes were slightly open, staring blankly at the ceiling. Her rosy lips were slightly parted, and her breathing was a little rapid.

Chen Yan sat to the side, leaning against the headboard, and took three deep breaths before finally suppressing another wave of restlessness emanating from his body.

He glanced at Lu Sisi, who was completely limp beside him, and his face showed a mixture of embarrassment and complexity. He reached out and gently hugged the girl.

But as soon as his fingers touched Lu Sisi's shoulder, Lu Sisi, who always loved him to the bone, actually trembled slightly and then shrank her shoulders.

"...Uh, I just wanted to hug you, that's all." Chen Yan blushed.

Lu Sisi's eyes held a strange and complicated look before she reluctantly shifted her body, turned to face Chen Yan, sighed softly, and said weakly, "You... were very different this morning."

Chen Yan chuckled dryly twice.

Can it be the same?

Five yet!

When Chen Yan woke up in the morning, he felt restless and frantic all over!

The energy that was about to explode throughout his body made him feel like a raging flood trapped inside him with nowhere to pour out!

It felt like every gesture or movement could cause my body to explode!
When Lu Sisi was awakened by the noise, she was startled to see that Chen Yan's eyes seemed to be bloodshot.

Then, Chen Yan suddenly hugged his girlfriend tightly...

He seemed to be recklessly squandering his boundless energy, while Lu Sisi, who had initially cooperated and yielded, was almost completely exhausted by the end—even with the constitution she had developed after taking the Bone Forging Pill, she felt like she was about to fall apart.

At this moment, Lu Sisi lay on her side next to Chen Yan, feeling as if even such a simple movement of turning over had exhausted the little bit of strength she had managed to regain.

"I...I didn't mean to refuse you..." Lu Sisi's voice was so weak it was almost a murmur. Her face was flushed as if she had applied a layer of rouge. She whispered, "I...I'm just afraid that indulging myself like this will hurt your body."

Chen Yan coughed lightly, sat up, took a bottle of electrolyte drink from the bedside, unscrewed it, and helped Lu Sisi sit up a little with one hand, feeding Lu Sisi a few sips.

Lu Sisi glanced at Chen Yan, but there seemed to be a hint of allure in her eyes before she said in a low voice, "I'm fine, I just want to lie down for a while. I probably don't want to get up this morning."

Chen Yan knew he had caused his girlfriend quite a bit of trouble since morning, so he gave an embarrassed smile and said, "Well, you can sleep a little longer, I'll go get something to eat."

As he spoke, he got out of bed, quickly dressed, and tiptoed out of the room.

A moment later, Chen Yan made some breakfast, returned to the room, opened the door, and saw that Lu Sisi was already fast asleep.

He thought for a moment, then decided not to wake Lu Sisi and tiptoed downstairs.

Damn it, you can't just drink this wine made from the sap of the sacred tree!

These side effects are even worse than those Indian miracle oils and those little blue pills!
From now on, at the earliest, I can only drink it once every three months...

But thinking back to the madness of this morning, it was an experience almost never before felt...

Ok……

Drinking only once every three months might really harm your health. After all, even Lu Sisi might not be able to handle a party every two months. As a person, one party a month is enough. Everyone needs to find some fun every two weeks, so once a week is actually quite good...

Snapped.

Chen Yan lightly slapped himself, then sighed.

No!

Women will only slow down my sword-drawing speed!

Despite the absurdity of the morning, Chen Yan felt no fatigue whatsoever—not even a trace of it!

It was as if the physical damage caused by that unprecedented indulgence was quickly made up for by the miraculous effects of the divine tree sap stored in every cell!
Moreover, it seems that the person's overall physical condition is subtly improving!
He immediately recalled his time as a slave in the village of the ferocious beastmen, when he drank the sap of the sacred tree and worked hard every day cutting down trees.

The more you expend physical energy and push your body to its limits, the stronger your physique will become!

It seems that at this moment, the more one expends, the more effective the sap of the divine tree becomes in transforming the physical body.

Having realized this, Chen Yan simply walked out of the room and into the courtyard.

All morning, until noon, Chen Yan was in the yard, severely abusing his body in a way that would make any ordinary person gasp!
The previous version of the spirit-gathering array, which was dismantled in the courtyard, left behind many bluestone slabs.

These building materials took a whole truck to haul back.

Meanwhile, Chen Yan was in the courtyard, moving the pile of bluestone slabs, one by one, from the east side to the west side, then from the west side to the south side, and then to the north side...

The body's stamina seemed inexhaustible. It was as if, under the influence of the divine tree sap, the body had become a perpetual motion machine. The more stamina was expended, the more it stimulated the body to continue to strengthen!

Lu Sisi slept until the afternoon before waking up. Fortunately, her body was still under the effect of the "Bone Forging Pill" and would continue to repair and strengthen itself. After waking up, she felt that her body had been completely restored.

The girl sat up, the sheet slipped off her body, revealing her beautiful collarbone. She went to the bathroom, looked at herself in the mirror, and couldn't help but blush when she thought of the absurdity of the morning.

Then, from the bathroom window, she saw Chen Yan going crazy and abusing himself in the courtyard downstairs.

Seeing Chen Yan carrying a bluestone slab on his shoulder and another one tucked under his left arm, running around the yard with incredible speed... Lu Sisi was first stunned, then her expression turned strange.

Is it... that I can't satisfy him? Is there nowhere for him to vent his energy?

Lu Sisi's face turned even redder.

·
From that day onward, for the next three days, the young couple stayed inside the villa and didn't step out the door once.

The second side effect of the sacred tree sap also lasted for three days.

However, after waking up the second morning, the absurdity was much less, and by the third day, it was only slightly better than normal.

Over the past three days, Lu Sisi seemed to have changed. The way she occasionally looked at Chen Yan became more and more charming, but later she became a little shy and would reflexively avoid physical contact with Chen Yan.

·
"Have you forgotten me?"

As Chen Yan was brushing his teeth in front of the mirror, he suddenly saw a line of words slowly and automatically written on the mirror. It was written on the water vapor in the bathroom after he took a shower, which covered the mirror.

Chen Yan was taken aback, then realized what was happening.

He thought for a moment, then went outside, put on his clothes, took out a talisman, lit it, and jumped into the mirror world.

·
In the mirror world, right in Chen Yan's villa, the little girl puffed out her cheeks and looked at Chen Yan with some dissatisfaction.

"Do you even know how many days it's been since you last came to see me?"

Chen Yan looked a little embarrassed: "Well, I've been a bit busy lately..."

The little girl looked at me with a mocking expression: "Don't forget, I'm in a mirror world. I can see everything that happens in the real world through every mirror! Do I need to tell you what you've been doing these past few days?"

"...Uh..." Chen Yan coughed and said sternly, "Don't spy on things you shouldn't, or you'll get a sty!"

The little girl said unhappily, "Don't worry, I have no interest in peeping at you humans mating!"

Ok?
Upon hearing this, Chen Yan was taken aback at first, then realized that the person was a lark demon, not a human.

"I've been waiting at home for so long, and you haven't come. I was so bored that I couldn't resist coming to find you today!" the little girl said coldly. "Have you forgotten what you promised me?"

Chen Yan sighed and surrendered, "It was my carelessness that led me to this. It was my fault!"

After saying that, he took out the jade pendant from the patrol office, and with a thought, a large pile of various foods appeared on the ground.

Thanks to Ye Wei, who stockpiled a large amount of supplies for the "apocalypse," especially the mountain of food reserves.

Besides various kinds of rice, flour, and cooking oil, that guy also had a large stockpile of various snacks.

Chen Yan took out a large pile of snacks and placed them on the ground in front of the little girl. After glancing at them, the little girl didn't seem very happy.

However, after Chen Yan took out two ink spirit crystals filled with vital energy and exchanged them for three empty ink spirit crystals from the little girl, the little girl's expression calmed down a bit.

"Take a look at this." Chen Yan took out another piece of "Yin Sha Spirit Crystal" - it was a "mineral" that was formed from the roots of the divine tree on the ground.

The little girl took it, glanced at it, and nodded: "Good material. It has a high affinity for spiritual energy and can be used to make magical artifacts... It can also be used as a material to store spiritual energy, similar to the Ink Spirit Crystal I gave you."

The little girl thought for a moment and asked, "Do you still have this?"

Chen Yan thought for a moment and realized that he didn't have many left, so he took them all out. There were only five Yin Sha Spirit Crystals of different sizes.

The little girl smiled and said, "That's enough."

She paused, then glanced at Chen Yan: "Give this to me, and I'll make you a magic weapon—speaking of which, it's quite pathetic that you, a cultivator at the Returning Origin Realm, don't even have a suitable magic weapon yet."

Chen Yan's eyes lit up! This girl is a half-step Venerable! The magical artifacts she creates are naturally extraordinary.

"Thank you so much!" Chen Yan quickly cupped his hands and smiled, "Do you... have any conditions?"

"Find me a few demon cores," the little girl immediately demanded.

Chen Yan's face fell: "I say, aren't you asking for too much? This Yin Sha Spirit Crystal isn't that valuable. A few demon inner cores... are worth far more than these stones."

The little girl chuckled, "It's alright if you can't find it—but I'm almost done figuring out how to use that mahjong tile. I just need a few demon cores to completely understand how to use it." "Alright! I'll try my best to find it for you!" Chen Yan's heart stirred, and he immediately agreed.

Demon races are rare in this world, but they are abundant in other realms!

Even if I don't personally kill the demons, can't I just buy them with money?

He remembered that different grades of demon inner cores were available for sale in the alchemy workshops and material shops at Snow Cliff Pass.

only……

I need to find a way to make money again! Money from the realms!
Chen Yan sighed inwardly.

Having just escaped poverty and become wealthy in the real world, he was about to experience the taste of financial scarcity in the dimensional realm.

·
With the enhanced Spirit Gathering Array, the concentration of vital energy in his home greatly increased Chen Yan's cultivation speed. After completing his daily cycle of cultivation, he would spend the remaining time absorbing vital energy and injecting it into his ring, just like during the apocalypse!
In addition, for the next few days, he would enter the mirror world once a day to give the little girl the ink spirit crystal that he had filled with the energy of his cultivation that day.

The little girl was very satisfied with Chen Yan's "diligence" because she could get two or three Ink Spirit Crystals every day to replenish her energy!
"If you had been this diligent and willing to replenish my vital energy every day, my vital energy might already be back to its best state by now." The little girl couldn't help but sigh. She then said, "It's a pity that I only have five Ink Spirit Crystals in my hand. But next time you can try to find more of the Yin Sha Spirit Crystals that you gave me. They are also good for storing vital energy."

With more containers, you can supply me with even more vital energy in the future.

Chen Yan readily agreed and left the Mirror World.

As he walked home, a sudden thought struck him, and he realized a detail!
Yin Sha Spirit Crystal!

Chen Yan learned this name from Gu Jinjia of the Domain Realm! But when he handed the item to the little girl, he didn't mention this name to her!

The little girl actually said that name directly—didn't she have amnesia and not remember anything about the realm?
Thinking of this, Chen Yan stopped and turned to look in the direction of the house where the little girl was.

·
"By the Celestial Official, the final donation of this quarter has been completed."

The person on the video call was Lin Xianyu, the top-tier internet celebrity known for her eccentricities.

This top idol is dressed like a mountain dweller right now, and his face is all red, as if he has gotten quite tanned.

In the video call, she was standing in a mountain village with dilapidated village buildings behind her. Judging from the fact that all the buildings were made of rammed earth, this guy must have gone to the northwest of China.

"These past few days have really exhausted me," Lin Xianyu said excitedly, chattering away. "I brought a full thirty truckloads of supplies on this trip, and I went from village to village, delivering them one by one..."

It's been a whole month! I turned down two variety show recordings and three auditions! Even preparations for my concert in the second half of the year have been put on hold. My agency boss is about to explode with anger…”

Chen Yan held his phone and said calmly, "Is there any trouble? If there is, you can tell me."

"No trouble at all." Lin Xianyu chuckled. "I'm a demon too, so dealing with that boss is a piece of cake."

She then took a deep breath, looked around, and whispered, "My lord, I've been so obedient, could you please make an exception and let me go back and rest for a few days? I've been running around to the countryside doing donations for the past month, and I haven't had a proper meal in ages!"
"And could you please do me a favor, considering how obedient and cooperative I've been, and cross my name off that list of your inspection department?"

Chen Yan smiled and said, "Don't worry, no one else from the patrol department will cause you any trouble, except for me."

Lin Xianyu sighed, "That's good."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yan pondered for a moment.

These days, in addition to the visible increase in his physical strength due to the effects of the divine tree sap, his cultivation level has also improved!
This increase in cultivation level is, of course, largely due to his own efforts—cultivators live long lives, and the increase in cultivation level can only be seen after years of accumulation.

Based on his diligent cultivation over the past few days, his cultivation level will not see any visible increase.

This increase in cultivation level was naturally brought about by Lin Xianyu's "merit".

It can be said that as long as this demon continues to donate merits, it's equivalent to giving Chen Yan an automatic cultivation cheat code to increase his cultivation level!

Of course, Chen Yan also knew that this cheat was not indefinite.

When Lin Xianyu has donated enough merit, that is, accumulated enough points, and is recognized by the Heavenly Dao of this world as "one of their own," she will be considered to have "joined the family." After joining the family, if she makes further donations, she will no longer be able to increase Chen Yan's cultivation.

However, Chen Yan, who had benefited from Lin Xianyu, felt that this might be a path to cultivation!
Cultivating oneself requires enduring the arduous process of shortening one's lifespan.

Just by going out and scaring a few illegal immigrant demons, my cultivation level increased rapidly...

Its main selling point is getting something for nothing!
Thinking of this, he took out his phone again and opened the photo album.

In the photo album, there was the list that Ouyang had given him last time, which Chen Yan had photographed and saved on his phone.

Lin Xianyu was his first mission, and later he asked Su Yi for help to kill two minor demons who had committed sins.

I have now completed my tasks for the quarter.

He has also informed Ouyang about the completion of the mission.

Lin Xianyu donated money by directly forwarding a bunch of media reports from that time to Ouyang.

One of the media headlines was surprisingly titled: "Only solar energy can blacken Lin Xianyu!"

Hmm, very good, isn't this exactly the same publicity strategy Principal Gu used back then?

Although Lin Xianyu donated a large amount of money and supplies, and even turned down her career with Yi Zhongtian and many job opportunities, she gained a lot of public goodwill thanks to the management of her agency!

Is that so?
Nowadays, although some celebrities and idols do charity work, it's only occasional, and some are even just for show—once they do it too much, netizens know exactly what's going on.

Lin Xianyu was genuinely serious; she gave up several lucrative job opportunities.

It's not the kind of charity that involves just standing up for someone or putting on a show.

Instead, he personally took charge, turned down his lucrative job, and led a convoy of vehicles and a massive amount of supplies to Shanxi Township, to the most difficult places, going from village to village, from county to county, and from school to school!
It takes a long time and a lot of hard work!
Moreover, in each location, there are official connections, media reports, and various fan-taken photos, street photos, and candid shots...

Different locations, different times, different styles—a massive collection of images and videos!

These are irrefutable pieces of evidence proving that this once-popular celebrity has truly given up enormous profits and is genuinely and tirelessly doing charity work on the most difficult front lines!
This utterly genuine behavior immediately sparked a huge reaction from netizens.

Even netizens who have always disliked fan culture and traffic-driven celebrities have expressed: Among all those traffic-driven celebrities, the only one I truly admire is Lin Xianyu!
For a time, Lin Xianyu, who had not arranged any performing arts work recently, unexpectedly topped the trending searches and headlines multiple times.

Lin Xianyu is probably genuinely a glutton and has a sweet tooth.

In addition to their trips to the countryside, they would also take time to eat and drink to their hearts' content during the company's live broadcasts.

Countless netizens saw this top idol, who should have been impeccably made up, dressed in clothes covered in dust and sweat and dirt, sitting in front of the camera, holding a large enamel rice bowl commonly used by the lower classes, eating with his head almost buried in the bowl, panting heavily, completely unconcerned about his image...

In an instant, countless netizens developed a favorable impression of him because of this contrast.

Many people felt that Lin Xianyu was a mudslide in the entertainment industry.

Various nicknames, such as "Big Glutton Girl," have been bestowed upon Lin Xianyu, greatly expanding her fan base and attracting countless new followers.

There's no need for Chen Yan to submit any mission report to Ouyang for this kind of report; as long as Ouyang isn't blind, he can understand it!
With the help of Su Yi in killing the two evil demons, and with Su Yi also having his inner core delivered, Chen Yan then handed the inner core over to Ouyang.

The first quarter KPIs are all set!

Ouyang was overjoyed, but Chen Yan had already advanced the first quarter's salary of three pills.

One Refining Spirit Pill was given to You Suyi, one Bone Forging Pill was given to Chu Keqing, and one Bone Forging Pill was given to Lu Sisi.

"We probably won't be able to fleece Lin Xianyu for long. We'll have to check who's on the task list again."

Chen Yan has basically absorbed all the pharmacological effects of the divine tree sap in the past few days, and the growth of his physical strength has stagnated again.

When stillness breeds restlessness, he thought that he should add another cultivation boost to his abilities.

While other patrol officers increase their luck, he can directly increase his cultivation level!
After going through the list once, he finally circled a few names.

Look at the name that's listed first among the circled names.

"Okay, you're next!"

`
"Lu Mingyuan! Do you know how much I love you?! It's been three years! I've been secretly with you without any title or status! I've sacrificed so much!"

Lu Mingyuan! Please don't leave me, okay? I really can't leave you!

Lu Mingyuan! I'll do anything for you, I really will do anything for you!!

In a high-end restaurant in Shanghai, a man and a woman sat at a table by the floor-to-ceiling window.

The woman in the picture was about thirty years old. She had exquisite makeup, and all her clothes were designer brands. Her beautiful face and curvaceous figure exuded a mature and alluring charm.

She was a mature, sophisticated woman, and her outstanding looks and elegant, high-end attire made even the restaurant staff turn their heads.

This sidelong glance, however, carried more of a sense of strangeness and surprise!

Because, under the beautiful mature woman's heartfelt confession... the man sitting opposite her was just impatiently holding a knife and fork, wholeheartedly cutting a Wellington steak in front of him.

They were having a great time eating!

And this man who is being confessed to by this beautiful mature woman...

He was short and stocky, with a fat head and big ears, sparse hair, and a chin that was almost three layers thick. He was also very oily from eating!
Finally, the beautiful mature woman spoke, her eyes gradually reddening, and she couldn't help but reach out a slender hand to grab the man's wrist.

The man sighed, looked up, picked up a napkin to wipe his face, smiled calmly, and slowly spoke:
“Well said! Very affectionate and beautiful—but unfortunately, I am not Lu Mingyuan.”

[Sigh, I'm going on another business trip the day after tomorrow. I'll try to finish the article in advance so as not to affect updates.]
