Under One Person: I, Jiaqian Jushi, work from nine to five

However, although these poisons are suppressed in her body and will not spread to the surrounding area, they will cause her organs to fail and rot.

When she could no longer control herself, she would die.

After cultivating the Reversal of Heavenly Power, she discovered that the erosion caused by the original Gu poison in her body seemed to be digested and transformed into nutrients to repair her organs, allowing them to gradually resist the toxicity of the original Gu poison.

The more she suppressed the Gu poison within her body, the more abundant these nutrients became. This self-sufficient, ebb-and-flow process was gradually helping her maintain control over the balance of the Gu poison within her body...

Perhaps one day in the future, she will be able to dress freely like a normal person without having to wear this isolation suit.

While Chen Duo was cultivating, Zhou Fengliu, who was sleeping, also gradually felt hot inside. He kicked off the blanket and lay half-naked on the bed, occasionally scratching his face.

While he enjoyed a peaceful and carefree life, Chen Duo was always carrying the burden ahead of him...

The night passed quietly.

Chen Duo cultivated all night, and Zhou Fengliu also stayed up all night.

Early the next morning.

Zhou Fengliu, who had slept until dawn, rubbed his sleepy eyes and opened the door. What he saw was Chen Duo sitting cross-legged on the ground with her eyes closed, as if she were practicing the Reversal of Heavenly Principles.

Seeing this, Zhou Fengliu regained some of his senses. After sensing his own body, he confirmed that Chen Duo was cultivating the Reversed Heavenly Gang technique...

Check it out.

What a perfect working person!

For some reason, Zhou Fengliu found himself resonating somewhat with the capitalists he once despised.

Which capitalist wouldn't love this perfect worker? Someone who tirelessly creates value for them...

This sense of resonance didn't last long. When he saw "Chen Junyan" curled up on the sofa, he was somewhat shocked.

The owner is sitting on the floor practicing meditation, while the dog is resting and sleeping on the sofa?

Are humans worse than dogs?

How can this be considered contrary to the Heavenly Gang?

Zhou Fengliu touched his nose, then walked to the sofa and angrily rubbed Chen Junyan's head.

Chen Junyan was still fast asleep, having a wonderful dream about eating a big bone. Before he could even gnaw on the bone, someone angrily rubbed his head, which made Chen Junyan very angry.

Upon waking, it first searched for the inconsiderate thing that had disturbed its sweet dream.

Upon seeing Zhou Fengliu, this ferocious figure, its bewildered expression instantly transformed into terror. It howled, as if saying, "The dog is being killed! Someone come quick! The dog is being killed!"

Its cries naturally disturbed Chen Duo, who was cultivating.

Chen Duo opened her eyes upon hearing the sound and saw Zhou Fengliu angrily rubbing Chen Junyan's head on the sofa. She quickly realized that Chen Junyan was probably the one who caused trouble, so she greeted him:

"Chen Junyan, come back..."

Hearing Chen Duo's call, Zhou Fengliu released Chen Junyan, who quickly hid beside Chen Duo.

"Chen Duo, even you, my dog, know to find a comfortable place to rest..." Zhou Fengliu said when he saw Chen Duo wake up.

"Um...sorry, I didn't keep a close eye on it."

"Didn't I tell you last night that I picked out a room for myself?"

“Yes…” Chen Duo nodded: “I’ve made my selection.”

Which one?

"This one by the door is fine." Chen Duo pointed to the room in front of her.

"Then why don't you live there?"

"Because you haven't woken up yet..."

"What does this have to do with whether I'm awake or not?"

"..." Hearing Zhou Fengliu's question, Chen Duo stroked her chin, a thoughtful expression on her face, before looking at Zhou Fengliu and saying:

"I'm going to tell you my choice... and then see if you agree?"

"..."

Upon hearing Chen Duo's answer, Zhou Fengliu fell silent.

Goodness, such a strict sense of discipline and territoriality...

He was speechless.

Without experiencing Chen Duo's ordeal at the Medicine Immortal Society and the Dark Fortress, he couldn't think on the same logical line as Chen Duo.

In his opinion, since he had already given her a heads-up, it was already considered that he would agree to whichever room Chen Duo chose.

Even a dog knows to find a comfortable place to rest, but Chen Duo still has to wait for his permission...

"I agree." Zhou Fengliu sighed and didn't argue with Chen Duo.

"it is good."

Chen Duo nodded and walked towards the room she liked by the window, while Chen Junyan followed her in with his tail between his legs.

Regarding Chen Duo's current stage, Zhou Fengliu can only say... she has awakened, but not fully awakened... she is free, but not completely free.

The Medicine Immortal will train her to become a Gu that only understands commands, while the company will train her to become an employee who obeys orders. Although she now has the choices she wants and has awakened consciousness... her mindset still needs to change.

As for how to change this, that's Chen Duo's own business and has little to do with Zhou Fengliu.

Gollum—

Just as Zhou Fengliu was pondering, his stomach made a noise reminding him that it was time to eat, which brought him back to his senses and made him realize that he should eat something, after all, he had slept all night.

What should we eat?

Never mind, I'll just go downstairs and grab something to eat.

Now that he's no longer in Biyou Village, he can't go to Fu Rong's place for a free meal, so he has to go out to eat.

He washed up first, then changed his clothes and prepared to go out. Just as he passed Chen Duo's house, he suddenly remembered that Chen Duo seemed to have not eaten all day, so he turned back.

"I'm going to eat. Are you going to wait at home for me to bring you some, or... come downstairs with me?"

"?"

Hearing Zhou Fengliu's question, Chen Duo, who was sitting on the bed, frowned slightly and answered Zhou Fengliu after thinking for a few seconds.

"I'll go out with you..."

After she finished speaking, she added:

Is that alright?

“Why not… as long as you can suppress the poison in your body and don’t poison others… it’s up to you,” Zhou Fengliu said.

"it is good..."

Although Chen Duo's face showed no change in emotion, she was actually a little curious inside.

You see, the building she was standing on was located in the heart of the city, with several shopping malls and a sizable pedestrian street—precisely the place she wanted to visit...

When she was learning at the company before, she had visited such places, but at that time it was only to learn common sense. All her actions were restricted, and she was accompanied by several company employees to protect her, making her like a bodyguard.

Later, when she arrived at Biyou Village, Ma Xianhong told her to try to avoid crowded places, and she listened to him. This little wish has remained hidden until now.

Chapter 199 Society is simple, people are complicated~ (Second update)

Zhou Fengliu didn't actually care about Chen Duo's little wish...

He was just going downstairs to find something to eat; his purpose was very simple.

Pure hunger.

Taking the elevator, Chen Duo followed Zhou Fengliu downstairs, while Chen Junyan's dog was left in her temporary room and not brought out with her.

The weather is nice today. It's afternoon, and there are quite a few men and women in the nearby commercial area.

Although it's early autumn, Zhou Fengliu still saw quite a few girls wearing black stockings, white stockings, and bare legs along the way.

"Run..."

"Very moisturizing."

"This is moist enough."

Along the way, Chen Duo heard Zhou Fengliu mention the word "Run" several times. Following the direction of Zhou Fengliu's gaze, she could only see women. She didn't understand what these women had to do with the word "Run".

"Um... why did you say Run?" Chen Duo hesitated several times before finally asking the question.

Upon hearing Chen Duo's words, Zhou Fengliu raised an eyebrow and glanced at Chen Duo.

"Kid, don't ask questions you shouldn't..."

"Oh..."

Chen Duo did not get the answer she wanted.

of course.

Zhou Fengliu couldn't explain it to her in detail, after all, Chen Duo was still a pure and innocent person, and he couldn't let her be corrupted.

Generally, only like-minded people can resonate with him, such as... Xu Si.

Yes.

Xu Si, who was also a "Bathing Emperor" with him, understood immediately. The two often exchanged glances and smiled at each other because of the word "moisten".

...

Chen Duo was not discouraged by Zhou Fengliu's refusal to answer. She remained curious about everything on the road, her eyes seemingly unable to take it all in.

She saw towering skyscrapers in the distance and a huge billboard with a giant advertising banner hanging on it.

She also saw men and women going on blind dates at tables outside a coffee shop, and a live streamer in the square shouting into his phone, "Family members, please give the top fan a follow!"

I saw a couple deeply in love in a small corner, whispering sweet nothings and occasionally giving each other an ambiguous kiss.

She was like a child, interested in everything in the real world.

...

Zhou Fengliu led Chen Duo into a shopping mall, intending to find a place to eat. Generally, shops in shopping malls are more expensive than outside, but it was still manageable for Zhou Fengliu, who now had seven-figure savings.
