The poor girl from the 1970s was forced to kiss by the damp educated youth.

Jiang You is 185 cm tall and weighs 140 kg. He looks quite thin, but he is not light at all.

He clung to Chen Zhi, pointing her the way, not expecting the little girl to carry him home. But she ran all the way without even panting or getting him jostled, bringing him back at lightning speed.

Jiang You paused, stunned, as he looked at the familiar red gate in front of him.

"Is this the place?" Chen Zhi asked.

Jiang You replied, "Yes, here."

Chen Zhi put him down. "I've taken you home. Now you should give me the jade."

"Don't worry, I keep my word." Jiang You hopped on one foot to open the door, pushed open the heavy door, and said to Chen Zhi, "Come in and close the door."

Chen Zhi did as instructed.

Jiang You lived in a traditional courtyard house with one entrance leading directly to the main courtyard, next to which stood a ginkgo tree. The courtyard wasn't large; in the northeast corner was a rockery with several red carp swimming beneath it. The rest of the house was paved with bluestone, with dusty stones piled up in the corners.

Jiang You turned on the streetlight and skipped into the house.

Chen Zhi stood still, looking up at the top of the house, where a cloud of energy was gathering, a mixture of black, white and gray, so dense it was almost tangible.

Resentment? Ghostly energy? Or yin energy?

Chen Zhi couldn't discern the instinctive disgust she felt.

"Come here, are you afraid I'll eat you?" Jiang You grinned mischievously under the yellow light.

Chen Zhi shook her head. "I'm not going. I advise you not to go in either."

Jiang You ignored him, saying, "Can't I even go into my own house?"

As he spoke, he pushed the door open, but what he saw behind it made him pause in surprise.

"What the hell is this thing?!"

"Feng Ruyu?"

"Feng Ruyu!"

boom!

Something fell to the ground.

"Help, help me!"

Jiang You was tackled to the ground, his neck gripped by a pair of large hands. He struggled to hit the person on top of him. He couldn't understand how the usually frail Feng Ruyu had suddenly become so strong today.

Also, why did he attack himself?

What's wrong with that girl at the door? Why did she advise him not to come in? Did she know something beforehand?

Jiang You felt like his neck was about to be snapped!

They just escaped the manhunt and now they're facing this again.

Is he destined to die today?

Jiang You's vision blurred, and his consciousness gradually faded. In a flash, a clear, cold voice entered his ears, "I saved your life, so asking for half of your jade isn't unreasonable, is it?"

Jiang Youxin thought to himself, "If you save me, I'll give you all the jade, not just half. Some inanimate objects are far less important than my life."

If you don't answer, I'll take that as a yes.

The next second, the weight on his body disappeared, and he could breathe again.

Jiang You gasped for breath, his hands braced on the ground, his eyes fixed on the man and woman in the courtyard.

In the blink of an eye, most of his jadeite rough shattered, his artificial mountain crumbled, and several red carp hopped and jumped on the ground, pitiful and helpless.

boom!

His friend, who usually never lifts a finger, smashed his family's bluestone floor with a single punch.

What's even worse is that the skinny girl grabbed his friend by the collar and, like whipping him, slammed him to the ground again and again. His floor broke into pieces, and soon a large crater appeared in the ground.

"Get out of his body, or don't blame me for being impolite!" Chen Zhi said.

"whee!"

A crisp laugh came from Feng Ruyu's mouth, eerie and sinister.

"You really think I can't do anything to you?" Chen Zhi sneered, turning to Jiang You. "Bring me your biggest piece of jade."

Jiang You didn't know what Chen Zhi was going to do. He dragged his injured foot to pick up the piece of glutinous jade and walked towards Chen Zhi step by step.

"Too slow, throw it over here." Chen Zhi said impatiently.

Jiang You's face stiffened, then he gritted his teeth and threw the jade with all his might.

Chen Zhi didn't even glance at it, precisely grabbing the large rock. She sneered, "If I can't deal with the dark energy on Xi Lang, I can certainly deal with you!"

Ah!

A surge of immense energy erupted from Chen Zhi's body and rushed towards Feng Ruyu.

"ah--"

Feng Ruyu's body twisted into a knot, bent at an odd angle, as she struggled.

"It's too late to admit defeat now!"

Unseen by Jiang You, the various energies mixed within Feng Ruyu's body dissipated.

Chen Zhi precisely caught that strand of black and stuffed it into the jade.

Gradually, Feng Ruyu's body returned to calm, remaining motionless, and it was unclear whether she was dead or alive.

Jiang You's brow twitched. Could someone tell him what was going on?

Chen Zhi tossed Feng Ruyu aside, looked at the stone in her hand, and a hint of regret flashed across her face. "It's a pity, it's all been used up."

"What do you mean?" Jiang You asked, puzzled.

Chen Zhi looked directly at Jiang You and said, "I stuffed the thing inside his body into the jade."

Of course, only a part of it disappeared; the rest vanished.

Jiang You shuddered and asked in terror, "What is it?"

Chen Zhi didn't answer directly, but instead asked, "What do you think?"

"No way, it's a ghost, isn't it?" Jiang You, who works in this line of work, has heard a lot about ghosts and gods, but he has never seen one.

Chen Zhi did not deny it, saying, "It's just some dirty stuff."

"Is my friend alright?" Jiang You had already arrived in front of Feng Ruyu. Looking at his friend covered in bruises, his eyelids twitched. Could he be dead?

"It's alright. Don't go out much anymore, just stay home and get some sunshine. You'll be weak for a while, but it's nothing serious. Okay, the matter is resolved, give me the reward." Chen Zhi held out her hand, then added, "That piece of jade has already been used on your friend, so I don't need it; I'll keep it for you."

"No, don't leave it here, take it with you." Jiang You was afraid that Chen Zhi would leave the jade. "Don't worry, consider it a gift from me, it's not included in the payment."

Chen Zhi didn't really want it, "It's useless."

Jiang You: "I'll give you an extra jade carving, just please take it with you."

Chen Zhi reluctantly agreed.

Jiang You took Chen Zhi to his warehouse, which contained finished jadeite, uncarved jade stones, and several raw stones.

Jiang You was heartbroken. "It's all here."

Chen Zhi nodded, "I want half."

Jiang You chuckled, "Of course."

Having witnessed this man's ferocity, he dared not refuse.

Chen Zhi picked up a burlap sack from the side, not caring about the quality, she only picked the biggest ones.

Jiang You breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she hadn't taken his precious items. Thankfully, his beloved ones were still there.

Chen Zhi picked out half of the jade carvings, then took the jade carvings Jiang You had given her, slung the sack over her shoulder, and prepared to leave.

"girl!"

Jiang You called out to her, "I haven't asked your name yet."

"What's wrong?" Chen Zhi's eyes were full of vigilance.

"It's alright now," Jiang You said with a fawning smile. "I was just worried about what might happen in the future. If something like this happens again, could I ask you for help?"

Chen Zhi hesitated; she wasn't a professional in this field.

Jiang You: "Don't worry, young lady, there's plenty of jade and emeralds."

Chen Zhi: "Okay."

Chen Zhi left her name and address and walked away without looking back.

Chen Zhi didn't know the way, so she had to go back to the park by the same route, and then turn back from the park to get back to the little red villa.

After all that trouble, it was already quite late.

Chen Zhi climbed over the wall to the second floor and went straight to Xi Lang's room.

Tonight I harvested a sack full of jade and jade artifacts; I wonder how much of that will remove the dark energy from Xi Lang's body.

Chen Zhi laid out the jadeite and jade artifacts one by one, filling the entire bed, and then poured black energy into them one by one. Once she had used up all the jadeite and jade artifacts, a faint light appeared on the horizon outside; dawn was approaching.

Chen Zhi packed the jadeite and jade artifacts into sacks, carried them back to her room, and stuffed them under her bed. By now, she had hundreds of pieces of jadeite and jade artifacts under her bed. Chen Zhi took off her coat and trousers, didn't even take a shower, and went to bed to sleep.

Chen Zhi slept very soundly, and even after Liu Ma came several times, she did not wake up.

She didn't open her eyes until noon.

After washing up, Chen Zhi went to see Xi Lang first.

"It's a bit bland," Chen Zhi muttered to herself.

After lunch, Chen Zhi remembered that she hadn't let Shi Xin know she was safe. With Liu Ma's help, Chen Zhi used the home phone to call Shi Xin, let him know she was safe, and gave him the address.

"The payment for the last batch of goods has been calculated. Your pigs and chickens haven't been sold yet, so you'll have to wait a while. Are you in a hurry to get the money?" Shi Xin asked.

"No rush. Brother Shi, please keep it for me."

"OK."

That's a huge sum of money; this girl is really bold.

Shi Xin thought for a moment, "Around when will you be back?"

"I don't know," Chen Zhi said, unsure.

"How is Alan's health?"

"It's alright. He should wake up in a while."

"That's good. I'll be waiting for you to come back in Bayuan Town."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Zhi said to Aunt Liu, "I need to go out for a bit."

Aunt Liu poked her head out from the kitchen. "Going out again?"

Chen Zhi nodded. "Is there anything Aunt Liu needs me to bring back?"

Aunt Liu shook her head, "Be careful."

Chen Zhi nodded. "If that mother and son come over, Aunt Liu, close the door and ignore them."

Aunt Liu: "Okay, I understand."

Yang Hong waited on the street corner all morning, and when he saw Chen Zhi walking over, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm so glad you're alright." Yang Hong ran away yesterday and searched all around the park but couldn't find Chen Zhi. He thought she had been arrested and didn't sleep a wink all night. He felt extremely guilty.

Chen Zhi: "Sorry, I overslept this morning and forgot to let you know I was safe."

Yang Hong shook his head. "It's good that you're alright."

"Next time something like this happens, just protect yourself and don't worry about me." She has a way to get away.

Chen Zhi gave Yang Hong two yuan as payment for leading the way for her.

"Are there still places like this?" Chen Zhi asked.

Yang Hong hesitated, "I'm afraid it's not safe."

Chen Zhi: "It's alright, I'm not worried about that. Besides the black market like last night, if you introduce me to someone who sells jade and gemstones, I'll give you a reward."

Yang Hong thought for a moment, "I do know a collector, but I don't know if he sells his things."

Chen Zhi became interested. "Let's go take a look."

On the other side, Jiang You's foot hurt so much that he didn't sleep all night. He slept for a while in the morning, but because he was worried about Feng Ruyu, he woke up again just as dawn broke.

He applied medicine to his own feet and brewed medicine for Feng Ruyu to treat her internal injuries.

He didn't care whether the medicine was effective or not, and forced Feng Ruyu to swallow it.

Feng Ruyu was choked and coughed, then woke up.

"What did you do yesterday?" Jiang You asked with a stern face.

Feng Ruyu looked bewildered. What had he done?
