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

"I want both!"

Lu Qi emphasized it again, displaying an air of complete confidence towards Wu Nanzhi and her companion.

Wu Nanzhi and Hashimoto Aoi seemed to have been stabbed; their delicate bodies trembled, and they froze, then looked at each other in bewilderment.

That bastard, how dare he make such a request?

They've seen plenty of shameless people and plenty of people who don't value their lives.

But combining the two, they had never seen anyone willing to risk their life for such a shameless demand!

"Snap—"

Wu Nanzhi lashed her long whip against the ground with a loud crack. "Don't push your luck. Do you really think I wouldn't dare kill you?"

Lu Qi glanced down at his injuries, then said dismissively, "Kill me if you want, I'm already beaten up like this!"

He leaned closer to Wu Nanzhi, "You're already half-dead; without the two of you working together, you wouldn't be able to get back to life!"

"I'm not joking with you. Think carefully about whether you agree or not."

"To show my sincerity, I can call you first if you agree, and then you can keep your promise!"

Lu Qi is just a playboy, not someone who's never seen the world. He's still the young master of the Lu family, so he's very familiar with these kinds of negotiation tricks.

I originally just said it casually to vent my frustration, but I never expected it to actually come true. Of course, I have to use all my knowledge to make it happen!

If this matter is successfully accomplished, it can be considered the highlight of his life!

"Are you out of your mind?!" Wu Nanzhi threw the long whip on the ground and left angrily.

"Come with me!" Hashimoto Aoi didn't know how to describe her feelings at this moment, but she knew that Wu Nanzhi had given in.

Seeing that Lu Qi remained motionless, she added, "The president agreed."

"Really?" Lu Qi's eyes lit up instantly, almost as bright as a 250-watt light bulb.

He felt a pang of sadness, and his nose tingled slightly. After all these years, I've finally accomplished something big!

In a clean bedroom, Hashimoto Aoi gave Lu Qi a quick treatment of his injuries and sprinkled some medicine powder on his wounds.

"What are you all standing there for? Can't you see how badly I'm injured?"

"If you don't take the initiative, do you expect me to?"

"Everyone depends on me, follow my instructions!"

Lu Qi looked as smug as a groom.

"Snap—"

"Hurry up!"

He slapped Wu Nanzhi hard on the lower back. "Stop being so coy. I know your background, and you know mine. What's there to be shy about?"

Lu Qi pointed downwards, then shook it, before beckoning to Hashimoto Aoi, "You know what I mean."

Hashimoto Aoi and Wu Nanzhi pursed their lips and clenched their hands in unison.

Last night, Lu Qi drugged me, so I can say that I'm out of control both physically and mentally. My body is free now, but my mind has an extra layer of obstacle.

There is a fundamental difference between being passive and being active; their sense of shame was at play.

After a fierce internal struggle, they finally convinced themselves and began to follow Lu Qi's instructions.

Then, as Lu Qi made his next move, Wu Nanzhi and the other girl completely let down their guard and gradually got into the zone, as if they had returned to the state they were in the night before.

Without the aid of the medicine and with his injuries, Lu Qi didn't actually feel much physical pleasure, but he was incredibly happy inside!

That was an unprecedented sense of accomplishment, something he had earned through his own hard work!

Perhaps due to excessive excitement, Lu Qi soon exhausted his remaining ammunition, ending the first round of attacks.

Wu Nanzhi and Hashimoto Aoi were both somewhat surprised and confused. How could it be so fast? It was so different from last night.

They couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, a feeling stemming from the gap between their expected expectations and reality.

He started out unwilling, but now that he's in trouble, Lu Qi is done for.

Hashimoto Aoi hesitated for a moment, then parted her lips slightly and lowered herself down very proactively.

This was something Lu Qi never expected. After his initial shock, he smiled smugly.

Wu Nanzhi didn't expect that Hashimoto Aoi would do this even after everything was over, and she was completely embarrassed.

Seeing Hashimoto Aoi so engrossed in her own world, a stirring within her stirred...

At noon, at the Tulip Hotel.

"That's strange. Why hasn't the Lu family made a move? Could it be that Lu Qi isn't their biological son?"

Qin Ge was eating lunch when he glanced at the message Yang Xin'er had sent.

He looked up at Yu Jinghong and said, "I mean, if you were Wu Nanzhi, what would you do?"

Yu Jinghong put down her chopsticks, pondered for a moment, and then said, "I'll find a way to kill you!"

"Killing Lu Qi alone probably wouldn't be enough to vent my anger. I reckon they not only want to kill you, but also me. However, if it were me, I wouldn't kill Lu Qi before killing you and me."

"It seems Wu Nanzhi and the others haven't seen you make a move, right?"

"From their perspective, they felt they could have killed you. The reason they failed last night was because they underestimated you, weren't prepared enough, and overlooked my presence."

Qin Ge nodded slightly, glancing at Yu Jinghong's ample chest. "That's quite well said. You're actually quite intelligent!"

"Tell me again, if Wu Nanzhi and the others have Lu Qi in their hands, and I just ignore them, how will they react?"

"You idiot, you're the brainless one!" Yu Jinghong rolled her eyes at him. "Do you even need to ask such a simple question?"

"Naturally, they'll try to outdo us in terms of strength!"

"Either you find a stronger opponent than me to help you, or you lure me away to deal with me first, and then use you to blackmail me!"

She smiled faintly, "If Wu Nanzhi and the others really think that way, then they should leave now."

"If they knew your true strength, it would be a real nightmare for them!"

Yu Jinghong knew very well that even though she had just broken through to the peak of the Earth Realm, the gap between her and Qin Ge was still as vast as an insurmountable chasm!

"Luring the tiger away from the mountain, how well said!" Qin Ge picked up a piece of meat and put it to Yu Jinghong's mouth. "Eat more meat, you tigress."

"Then let's wait and see what Wu Nanzhi and the others do next!"

"..." Yu Jinghong's face was full of black lines.

A private villa in Nanjing.

"Gu Qingya?!"

A tall, slender woman stepped into the room and exclaimed in surprise when she saw one of the three men in her line of sight.

The woman's name was Xie Bingning. She carried a long black bag on her back, and her short hair was adorned with a few white streaks. Her face was stunningly beautiful yet aloof, giving off a sense of sexual indifference.

"I didn't expect the higher-ups to send you. It seems Qin Ge is doomed!"

"But I must warn you, that kid's a bit strange, so don't let your guard down!"

Xie Bingning suddenly realized something, "No wonder Lin Yuan disappeared so cleanly, it was you who did it, wasn't it?"

She seemed to be asking casually, and before Gu Qingya and the others could answer, she changed the subject, "Does Lord Han have any new instructions for me?"
