I will eventually become a god through sheer hard work.

Watching the flames burn for a long time before finally burning a small hole in the man's arm, Xue Jing nodded.

The golden light of the words "Shadow Flame" on the panel has dimmed, indicating that it can no longer be used, and it is unclear how the cooldown time is calculated.

Xue Jing stood up and stretched.

"What a great find!"

He glanced at the panel and sighed.

……

Amidst a barrage of notifications, skill experience skyrocketed.

[Fitness upgraded to Lv6 (28/3000)]

[Health Enhancement Upgraded to Lv4 (25/1200)]

Aiming skill upgraded to Lv4 (102/1200)

[Fighting skill upgraded to Lv4 (805/1200)]

[Strength increased to Lv5 (127/2000)]

What does it mean to get rich in one go?

That's fucking a huge windfall!

Xue Jing's body crackled and popped as he clenched his fists, feeling nearly twice as strong as before.

More importantly, it activated a purely offensive divine skill—Shadowflame!

This greatly enhanced his lethality.

"People really do need to fight more often."

Immersed in the satisfaction of growth for a while, Xue Jing realized that there were still many things to deal with.

He first took a picture of the man's body and sent it to Wu Youqing, along with a detailed account of what had happened.

After all, he had killed someone, and Xue Jing felt he couldn't cover it up and needed to find a powerful backer to resolve the situation.

Compared to the Hidden Dragon Dojo, Wu Youqing, a wealthy and domineering woman with a semi-official background, is more reliable.

After all, this incident happened because they came to collect divine relics, so Wu Youqing couldn't just ignore it.

Without keeping Xue Jing waiting any longer, Wu Youqing called quickly. Xue Jing answered immediately and said:

"Hey, boss, it's just like what I said on WeChat."

Through the receiver, Wu Youqing's gentle voice came through: "I understand. Don't worry, you did nothing wrong. I will handle it."

Upon hearing this, Xue Jing immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Send me the location. Don't touch the body. I'll send someone over to collect it. Just go home like this and pretend nothing happened."

Come find me at the library tomorrow.

Xue Jing readily agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Xue Jing sent the detailed address to Wu Youqing. Then, after thinking for a moment, he dragged the man's body into the garbage dump and covered it up slightly so that passersby wouldn't notice.

He then dusted himself off and turned to leave the alley.

……

When I got home, the cat was already back.

Opening the door to find a cat greeting you is something that brings happiness.

Xue Jing's anxiety about killing someone was greatly relieved upon seeing the cat.

"Ha~~ You're back." The cat yawned, rubbed its emerald-like eyes with its paws, and said lazily.

"Ok?"

The cat moved closer to Xue Jing, its pink nose twitching slightly.

"The smell of blood... You've been fighting again?"

Xue Jing picked it up, rubbed his face against itss, and said with a smile, "A little thing happened, but I've already taken care of it."

"Let's go, Mr. Wan, you haven't taken a bath in ages..."

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengwan immediately began to struggle in Xue Jing's arms.

"...Cats don't need to be bathed every day. Hey, let go of her and go bathe yourself!"

……

"Ah~"

In the bathtub, Xue Jing held the cat and immersed himself in the slightly warm water, both of them letting out a comfortable sigh.

The cat lay on Xue Jing's chest, its tail swaying back and forth, brushing against Xue Jing's chin.

It turned its head slightly, glancing unintentionally at Xue Jing's holy sword, which was so imposing that no one dared to look directly at it, before quickly averting its gaze.

In the silence, the girl's tender voice rang out in the bathroom.

"Young man, are you in a bad mood?"

Xue Jing was taken aback by the question, then laughed:

"Yes, a little, but seeing you made me feel much better."

Ning Fengwan raised her head arrogantly and snorted, "Sweet words have no effect on this sect leader."

Xue Jing glanced at the panel.

Someone has developed feelings for you; Charm skill experience points +21.

He smiled, not exposing the truth, but simply reached out and pinched the cat's cheek.

"Huh? Why are you wearing glasses in the shower? They're all fogged up."

Cat glanced at Xue Jing's glasses, which were now completely fogged up, and felt a little awkward.

So it stretched out its claws and hooked.

The glasses then fell off.

"Ok?"

Completely letting his guard down, Xue Jing hadn't anticipated this turn of events. By the time he tried to put his glasses back on, it was too late.

[Someone has developed a strong liking for you; Charm skill experience points +89]

Having suppressed his presence for most of the day, Xue Jing suddenly erupted the moment he took off his glasses, at which point he was practically a succubus in every sense of the word.

The cat stared at him blankly, completely stunned.

Then, an accident occurred.

The ring on the cat's tail began to glow with a platinum light, gradually becoming brighter, and then bursting out with a dazzling radiance.

Xue Jing couldn't help but raise his hand to block his view.

Suddenly, he felt a heaviness in his chest.

The cat's original fluffy texture disappeared, replaced by a warm, smooth feel...

No... In its soft and smooth texture... it's actually a little furry as well.

He opened his eyes and took a look.

They met a pair of long, narrow, and alluring eyes.

Chapter 52 Unsheathing

Her long, damp black hair was loose, and a few water droplets flowed down her hair onto her soft, white skin, then down into the deep, unfathomable cleavage.

With her willow-leaf eyebrows and phoenix eyes, she was incredibly beautiful, almost stunning. On her pretty face, she seemed unaware of what was happening, her mouth slightly open, looking completely bewildered.

Two sharp little canine teeth added a touch of dangerous cuteness to her, and the two cat ears on her head twitched slightly. Ning Fengwan's face gradually turned blushing.

She covered her chest with both hands, and her long cat tail, which was attached to her tailbone and adorned with a platinum tail ring, wrapped around Xue Jing's head, covering his eyes.

"Don't look!!"

The young girl's voice was almost choked with sobs.

Xue Jing: "..."

He felt the smooth, soft touch rubbing back and forth on his chest, with a slightly furry feel and a subtle tingle... Xue Jing's expression immediately turned strange.

I didn't continue watching... but now it seems like it's not a question of whether to watch or not...

After thinking for a moment, Xue Jing comforted him, "Teacher Wan, calm down, I didn't see anything."

Seeing that Xue Jing's eyes were indeed covered by the cat's tail and he couldn't see anything, Ning Fengwan gradually calmed down.

"..."

But soon, she realized an even more fatal truth.

The sensation transmitted through the caress carries a trembling, pulsating current.

"Hmm~"

Upon hearing the strange sound beside him, Xue Jing's expression became even more peculiar.

"How could it... suddenly change back?"
