I bought a secret manual of the Hehuan Sect for ten yuan.

Has it really been a breakthrough?!

Peak of the Earth Realm!!

Yu Jinghong lay quietly, her mind racing.

Looking at the man in front of her, her eyes became complicated. How did he do that?

Could this be the correct way to practice martial arts, and the key to breakthrough lies in...?

Qin Ge was also very excited. Damn it, he had finally broken through to the eighth level of Qi Refining!

I'm getting closer and closer to Foundation Establishment, and my heart is filled with anticipation.

"stand up!"

Yu Jinghong rolled over and sat on top of Qin Ge, cupping his face in her hands. "What...what did you just do?"

She glanced at the dull, faded black jade beside her pillow. "Is there something strange about this stone?"

"Don't you know what I did?" Qin Ge looked at Yu Jinghong's alluring red lips, gently pressed down on the back of her head and tapped it, his palm stroking along the graceful curve of her back.

"I told you I'd help you break through, but you didn't believe me. Shouldn't you reward me now?"

He actually thought that the Xuan Yuan Black Jade was enough to break through to the eighth level of the Qi Refining stage, but since Yu Jinghong happened to be here, he would provide double protection and also try to help her break through as well.

"I don't even know how much of what you say is true!" Yu Jinghong rubbed her nose and leaned down to return the kiss.

Then, she shifted her body downwards, and then further down.

Her red lips parted slightly, and she lowered her head.

As the soft, warm sensation spread through him, Qin Ge's body trembled slightly. He chuckled, "You've certainly made progress! Now you even know to wash your chopsticks after you've eaten!"

Yu Jinghong looked up, her cheeks flushed red, and playfully stuck out her tongue, "I'm not full!"

She had indeed reached her limit; the intensity she just experienced was unlike anything she had ever felt before, and she felt as if her soul was about to leave her body.

He was so exhausted that he didn't even want to move his fingers, but after breaking through to the peak of the Earth Realm, he was instantly revived.

Yu Jinghong felt that she was doing well again, better than ever before!

She was speechless with emotion; she loved this man to death and wanted to give him everything she had.

After thinking it over, this was the only way. She couldn't think of anything else for the time being. This bastard just liked this kind of thing!

Qin Ge paused for a moment, then reached out and patted Yu Jinghong's head. "You said you wouldn't surrender later!"

"Turn around..."

Not long after Yu Jinghong turned around, her body trembled several times as if she had been electrocuted.

Finally, unable to hold back any longer, a long, delicate moan escaped her lips, a sound that came from the depths of her soul.

The two seemed tireless, greedily demanding more from each other.

They understood each other so well, as if their souls were intertwined; a single glance was enough for them to comprehend each other.

No verbal communication was needed; eventually, only the harmonious sounds of the two of them and Yu Jinghong's level-ten whispered murmurs remained in the room.

From the bed, then to the sofa, then the bathroom...

They only called it a day when it got dark outside the window.

This time, Yu Jinghong really didn't want to move, so she clung to Qin Ge and let him carry her out of the bathroom.

"Your figure is just too unfair!" Qin Ge pulled Yu Jinghong off him. "What do you want to eat?"

"Huh? Again?" Yu Jinghong's beautiful eyes widened. "I can't, I really can't!"

Qin Ge chuckled, "I meant eating, having a meal!"

"Is there nothing serious left in your head?"

Yu Jinghong: "..."

Just as Qin Ge was about to call the hotel to order food delivery, a call came in from an unknown number.

"No need to think about it anymore, let's go, someone's treating us to dinner!"

Qin Ge hung up the phone and spoke with a smile.

The caller was Wu Nanzhi, whose attitude was completely different from when she was at the auction. She was very sincere in wanting to meet Qin Ge.

After hearing what Qin Ge said, Yu Jinghong frowned slightly. "Are you really interested in that woman?"

"She clearly has ulterior motives for inviting you; she's probably already set a trap for you. Are you still going?"

"If that's the case, isn't that perfect?" Qin Ge's pupils contracted slightly. "You said it yourself!"

"As long as you have a good reason, your Shadow Martial Hall can kill people without any trouble, right?"

He pinched Yu Jinghong's cheek. "Don't overthink it. In my eyes, she's not even a fraction as good as you. I wouldn't even look at that kind of thing!"

Qin Ge made a phone call to Lu Qi, and then went out with Yu Jinghong.

More than half an hour later, the two arrived at a restaurant decorated in the Dongyang style, where Lu Qi was already waiting at the door.

"Qin Ge!" Lu Qi's expression was somewhat strange, and his attitude towards Qin Ge was much colder than before. "I...I have something to ask you!"

He glanced at Yu Jinghong and quickly looked away. "My dad said you might be using me to sow discord between the Lu family and the Jinghe Chamber of Commerce. Is that really true?"

Yu Jinghong was stunned. Could you really have a conversation like this? So direct?

"Are you crazy?" Qin Ge glared at Lu Qi. "If you suspect me, why did you even come? Aren't you afraid I'll scheme against you?"

"I'm too lazy to explain to you. You're just a kid, you don't have a brain. Judge for yourself!"

After he finished speaking, he grabbed Yu Jinghong and left.

If they can't fool her, so be it. Anyway, so many people died today, and Wu Nanzhi has already made an enemy of the Lu family.

If Wu Nanzhi dares to make a move here tonight, it will be even simpler: just have Yu Jinghong kill her and be done with it!

"I knew you weren't that kind of person, Brother Qin!"

Lu Qi was stunned for three seconds before grinning and following along eagerly.

In an elegant room, Wu Nanzhi had already prepared drinks, with only Hashimoto Aoi standing behind her.

"Just tell me what you want to meet with!"

Qin Ge entered the room and spoke immediately before even sitting down, looking impatient.

Upon hearing the voice, Wu Nanzhi first smiled, and then looked up at Qin Ge and the other two.

"Oh, Mr. Qin has arrived. Please have a seat."

Wu Nanzhi stood up, bowed slightly, and appeared extremely humble, a stark contrast to her demeanor at the auction.

Then he began to subtly observe Qin Ge and the other two.

Behind her, Hashimoto Aoi also bowed slightly, her gaze sweeping over Qin Ge, a deep sense of doubt quickly rising in her eyes.

This doesn't look like someone who knows martial arts; there's not a trace of true energy emanating from him!

Her gaze shifted to Yu Jinghong, a fleeting look of surprise in her eyes.

Hashimoto Aoi could tell at a glance that Yu Jinghong was a trained fighter, and a master at that, whose strength was definitely no less than her own!

As for Lu Qi, neither Wu Nanzhi nor Hashimoto Aoi gave him a second glance.

Lu Qi sensed the other party's disdain for him and secretly squeezed the thing Qin Ge had given him in his pocket.

You look down on me, huh? You two better not fall into my hands!

As he pondered this, a smile unconsciously crept onto his lips, gradually becoming distorted.

Qin Ge sat down. "If you won't tell me, then I'll ask!"

"If there's no sincerity, there's no point in continuing the conversation."

"After the auction ended today, were those people who caused us trouble sent by you?"

Wu Nanzhi hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Yes!"
