As spiritual energy revived, I, having acquired certain attributes, gradually ascended to immortalit

In a nightclub with bright lights and music so loud it felt like the air itself was trembling.

On a high platform with a wide view, a young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses was swirling a half-empty glass of whiskey in his hand.

Looking at the swaying bodies on the dance floor, a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Another one of those brutes from the Corpse-Sleeping Path has died?"

"Serves them right. It wasn't for nothing that I added fuel to the fire. They still want to compete with us for future territory?"

Looking at the gathering black aura in his line of sight, he casually waved his hand to disperse it. "It's a pity that anger and malevolent energy are useless to me; it's a waste."

"Jinzi, what are you standing there for? Come on over and have some fun!"

A young man, with a woman on each arm around his waist, walked up from the edge of the dance floor and shouted at the top of his lungs, "That old bastard won't give me any money. I got rich all thanks to you!"

Come on, let's have a drink!

Jinzi stood up and walked over, shaking her head. "Young Master Zheng, we'd better keep quiet, or Uncle will get upset again. We should go back now."

"I didn't cause him any trouble."

Zheng Shao curled his lip and pushed the girl away from his arms. "I run my own company and make my own money. Is it bothering him if I go out and have some fun?"

"You're so boring."

He waved his hand at Jinzi, "It's not fun here at all, and I don't know what you like."

Jin smiled, "Of course it's money, the more the better."

Ignoring the various colors and auras around him, he reached out and grabbed at the crimson halo above Zheng Shao's head.

"I also like to collect all sorts of rare items."

What he needs is the crimson fire of desire, symbolizing endless greed.

"However, after being quiet for so long, it's time to make some noise."

Jinzi ignored the confusion in Zheng Shao's eyes, staring at the fleeting crimson light in his right hand, and thought to himself:

"The integration of the two realms is accelerating, and to recruit soldiers and horses, we need a reputation. It's a good opportunity to let the Chen tribe make a move and create some commotion."

If anything goes wrong, it won't be my responsibility.

……

On the other side, in the base's interrogation room.

Although Shen Qing killed Yin Huo directly, after Li Jianghan confirmed that he was the target, the bureau did not kill him or say anything.

After all, they never intended to leave any survivors; Sun Huai would be enough for interrogation.

The somewhat chubby deputy director even rewarded him with a Meridian-Opening Pill.

After using one, the total number not only didn't decrease, but actually increased by three, now totaling seven. Since it cannot be taken continuously, this is at least enough for Shen Qing's cultivation needs for half a month.

In the interrogation room, Shen Qing listened for a while and then came out, her lips twitching uncontrollably.

You can still faintly hear sounds intermittently.

"I was just confused for a moment, I was really wrong. I was just envious of others. Why do other rich people get to be grooms every night?"

"I just can't do it!"

As the president of a large corporation, although he is not a director or major shareholder, he is not a nobody either.

The main purpose of cooperating with evil supernatural beings to gain a foothold in the future is not to cooperate with them, but because they are incapable.

After the interrogation, everyone in the bureau was speechless.

Although upon closer reflection, it is indeed quite disheartening that a man, especially a wealthy one, could be like this, and even drinking traditional Chinese medicine has been ineffective.

Shen Qing felt it was all rather abstract. He clocked out of get off work, having resolved the potential threat, and was in a good mood.

"I'm back."

He pushed open the door and saw that the female warrior was preparing dinner. Even if it was just heating up the takeout, his mood was even better.

Suddenly it feels pretty good.

"Speaking of which, you won't have to worry about your immigration status anymore, you should celebrate."

Shen Qing moved a stool over and sat down. "It's a pity there's no alcohol, not even soft drinks."

"Is it for drinking?"

Shen Qingtang tilted her head slightly in thought, then got up, opened the refrigerator, poured something into his ceramic cup, and handed it to him.

"Did you buy drinks?"

Shen Qing subconsciously took her cup. It was icy cold to the touch, and since she was a little thirsty, she drank it all in one gulp.

The next second, he froze, his eyes widened, and an indescribable taste rose up from his throat, like something spoiled.

"What is this?!"

Looking at the remaining yellowish-green liquid in the cup, Shen Qing stared at the female warrior with disbelief.

Soy milk?

After being refrigerated, it had almost no smell, so he drank it without any suspicion, but the taste remained unchanged.

Shen Qingtang blinked and explained, "The soy milk tastes better chilled, according to the phone."

"Would the fermented soybean milk taste better chilled?"

"Yes, chilled soy milk is incredibly delicious, it tastes completely different from hot soy milk..."

Hearing the AI's voice on the phone, Shen Qing fell silent.

Looking at the heroine's innocent face, he knew he had brought this upon himself and could only pretend nothing had happened.

I shoveled down several mouthfuls of rice, trying to suppress the smell.

But... since the heroine can already get information on her phone, and there are plenty of complaints online, doesn't she know what douzhi (fermented mung bean juice) tastes like?

Look up again.

Looking at Shen Qingtang's wide-eyed, innocent-looking face, Shen Qing suddenly felt a sense of cunning.

Has the female knight gone astray?

Shen Qingtang asked curiously, "Is it delicious?"

Shen Qing gritted her teeth and nodded, "It's delicious, so why don't you try some?"

The female warrior shook her head and said matter-of-factly, "You took me in, so I should thank you and give you the best drink."

"???"

He forgot to turn on the youth mode!

……

Meanwhile, in contrast to the cheerful atmosphere on Shen Qing's side...

In a large apartment in the city center, Gu Jingshi lay on his side on the bed, slightly curled up, but his mood was very low and his eyes were confused.

"What's wrong, Miss Gu? You took the initiative to chat with me today. Don't you have any meetings tonight?"

Looking at Su Xiaoxiao's message on his phone, Gu Jingshi hesitated, typing and deleting on the screen repeatedly before finally sending a message.

"Xiaoxiao... do you think I'm a bit self-centered sometimes?"

"?"

"???"

On the other end, Su Xiaoxiao sent a string of question marks, and her surprise could be seen even through the phone.

"No, sister, what's wrong with you today? What happened to you?"

I met Shen Qing today.

Gu Jingshi looked somewhat confused. "It's not what I imagined. He said it's all in the past and he doesn't mind anymore."

"It's all in the past, don't be a riddle reader!"

"..."

After explaining, Su Xiaoxiao remained silent for a moment before typing, "Um, please don't mind if I'm telling the truth."

Her overconfident sister was confused, and she was afraid that if she said anything more, the other person might do something rash.

"you say."

"You suddenly cut off contact back then, and now you want to get back together... that's really a bit inappropriate."

Moreover, judging from Shen Qing's current attitude, he probably doesn't have that intention... Perhaps you two should refrain from disturbing him for now and think it over carefully?

"Anyway, you two are both pretty busy, so you probably won't run into each other."

Feeling that her statement was incorrect, Su Xiaoxiao quickly added another sentence.

"Of course, having dated someone as outstanding as you, he definitely won't find another partner so easily."

"What's that saying? How could a woman protected by a lion possibly be interested in you? Hmm... you know what I mean, but don't swear."
