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

"?"

"I don't know if the company is good or not, it's just a place to work. I only care about whether I can get paid on time. As for Quanxing... from what I know, it's not a good choice either."

Zhou Fengliu rejected Xia He once again, then glanced at everyone present:

"Although it was a coincidence, I'm here... naturally I won't let these small amounts of money escape right before my eyes."

"Does the benefactor mean... that one of us will take on all four of us?" Gao Ning continued preparing the Twelve Labors Formation.

"There's no other way, it's all work. Please understand and support me?"

Zhou Fengliu flexed his wrists, and for some reason, he suddenly felt that the room was a bit hot, which made him feel a little irritable.

"Lei Yanpao, let him go."

Seeing that Zhou Fengliu was not following her arrangements and the situation was starting to get out of control, Xia He chose to stand in front of Zhou Fengliu and look at Lei Yanpao Gao Ning not far away.

"?"

this...

Seeing Xia He protecting Zhou Fengliu so much, the members of Quanxing realized that Zhou Fengliu might indeed be Xia He's old flame, just as Lü Liang had said.

"Xia...are you serious?" Gao Ning asked.

"Yes, let him leave. If his location is exposed, we can move to another place. But this person... you can't touch him."

Xia He spoke frankly, her words implying that she was protecting this man.

As she spoke, the Qi within her body surged, as if it might launch an attack at any moment.

"..."

The situation suddenly became tense.

"This is truly rare. Have you ever seen Xia He like this before?"

Shen Chong felt the time was right, so he broke the silence. He said that he had known Xia He for quite some time, but this was the first time he had seen Xia He protect a man like this.

He originally thought that Zhou Fengliu was Xia He's sycophant, but he never expected that reality would be so dramatic, with the roles completely reversed and Xia He not hesitating to fight them for a man.

In order to coordinate with Gao Ning's Twelve Labors Formation, he continued to fan the flames and buy time, saying:

"With Xia He protecting him, let him go. He's just a guy who hides behind women; I don't know what Xia He sees in him..."

Just as Shen Chong had bought some time, Gao Ning, who had been preparing for a while, released the Twelve Labors of Emotion Array. Dou Mei, who was standing next to him, cooperated with him at this moment, making Zhou Fengliu fall into the trap even faster.

With the two working together, Zhou Fengliu's condition became somewhat abnormal. He seemed to have fallen into a trap, and the meridians in his body began to twist uncontrollably.

...

"Now that the four madmen of Quanxing have finally gathered, how could I be so tactless as to leave? Since I'm here today, I'll test... just how deep your waters are."

Zhou Fengliu's rationality was rapidly declining, and after a burst of laughter that sounded like a villain, a sense of malevolence gradually rose in his heart.

In the Twelve Labors Formation, the Four Madmen of Quanxing were no longer just madmen in his eyes, but rather red banknotes, cups of wine to relieve stress, and sisters who knew his true nature.

"If that's the case, then I'm afraid you won't be able to leave this door today."

Gao Ning controlled the Qi within his body, operating the Twelve Labors of Emotion Array to repeatedly torment Zhou Fengliu's meridians.

"Okay, okay, then don't go out. I don't mean anything by it. Either I get beaten to death by you guys, or I beat you guys to death... it's that simple."

Zhou Fengliu has lost all his composure and is now acting as if he's laid all his cards on the table. He's furious, though he doesn't know why.

"Wake up... stay calm."

Xia He reminded Zhou Fengliu, but found it was useless, so she turned around and warned Gao Ning, who was causing trouble:

"Get rid of your Twelve Labors Formation now, or don't blame me for taking action against you."

Chapter 40 If young people aren't spirited, what kind of young people are they? (Second Update)

Xia He knew very well that although Zhou Fengliu had some strength, he was absolutely no match for the combined Four Madmen of Quanxing, especially the combination of Gao Ning and Dou Mei.

Gao Ning's Twelve Labors Formation can repeatedly switch between positive and negative emotions of the person entering the formation to weaken their strength.

This process can cause people to become trapped in a certain emotion and unable to extricate themselves, eventually leading to a breakdown. Dou Mei's ability, however, can make people forget their pain, become weak, and enter a state of spiritual enlightenment where they lose all motivation.

When these two combine their abilities, even many old masters from reputable sects can't withstand their attacks once they're caught in the trap.

"You're so long-winded, I'll deal with you later."

Zhou Fengliu, who was behind her, shoved her aside and then glanced at the other Quanxing members present: "Gentlemen, since none of you want to leave, let's make our move?"

Zhou Fengliu channeled his internal energy, and the Thousand Killing Blades and the Great Sword in his backpack pierced through the fabric and flew into the air, with countless blade fragments swirling under his control.

Controlling objects?

How can you control so many?

Seeing Zhou Fengliu's methods, Shen Chong adjusted his glasses and remarked that he had never seen anyone control so many fragments at the same time.

"careful..."

With little fighting ability, Lü Liang quietly hid in a spot close to the door, observing the situation so he could make a quick escape if things went wrong.

"Your methods are truly... impressive."

As Zhou Fengliu manipulated countless blade fragments to launch a scattered attack, Gao Ning also became more casual and unreserved. While dodging Zhou Fengliu's attacks by maintaining distance, he manipulated the Twelve Labor Emotions Array to alternate emotions, causing Zhou Fengliu to succumb.

Seeing Zhou Fengliu fighting with Gao Ning and Dou Mei, Xia He stopped warning them and went to help Zhou Fengliu deal with Gao Ning first. Unfortunately, before she could get close to Gao Ning, Shen Chong stopped her and dragged her to the backyard of the villa.

"Shen Chong! Don't stop me!" Xia He looked at Shen Chong with both hands and questioned him.

"I'm stopping you because I'm afraid of accidentally hurting you. Although this kid... is a bit strange, that's all... He's caught in Gao Ning's Twelve Labors of Love Formation. Even if you want to take him away now, it won't do any good if he doesn't want to.

"Let's wait a little longer."

Shen Chong said that Xia He was too impulsive, completely different from her usual nimbleness.

"I really don't know what you have to do with that kid. Why do you seem a bit off now that he's showing up?" Shen Chong couldn't understand why Xia He was so protective of a company employee.

...

Just as Shen Chong stopped Xia He, Gao Ning and Dou Mei were having some trouble with Zhou Fengliu's greatsword and the Thousand Blades of Killing. They had no choice but to distance themselves from Zhou Fengliu and move the battlefield outside the villa, waiting for Zhou Fengliu to immerse himself in the Labor of Passion.

Seeing that everyone had left, Lü Liang glanced at Zhou Fengliu, who was about to go crazy, and then ran out of the villa in a flash.

"Don't go! I haven't gotten on the bus yet! Get me out of here..."

At this moment, Ji Bochang, who was sitting in the corner, looked at Zhou Fengliu, who was exuding a terrifying aura, and felt like crying.

He wanted to get away from Zhou Fengliu, but he was so scared that he wet himself. His legs wouldn't obey him, and his shouts echoed throughout the villa, but unfortunately, no one paid him any attention.

...

Inside the villa, Zhou Fengliu's movements gradually slowed down, and even the Qi controlling the flying blades became difficult to transmit. Under Gao Ning's manipulation of his emotions, his condition worsened.

"?"

Zhou Fengliu shook his head. He could feel his emotions changing wildly, and many fragments of memories began to flash before his eyes like a fleeting glimpse.

Twelve Labors Formation...

Greed, anger, ignorance, love, hate, desire, and resentment; joy, anger, worry, thought, sorrow, fear, and shock.

This is Gao Ning's method...

Although Zhou Fengliu had read the original novel and knew that Gao Ning had the means to control his emotions, he did not expect that he would fall into the trap so unknowingly and be so difficult to resist.

At this moment, he was sometimes clear-headed and sometimes confused. He knew that with his current mental state, he could not withstand Gao Ning's actions. He could only make a quick decision and take down the old man Gao Ning while he was still relatively clear-headed.

As for the Twelve Emotional Array, he couldn't let Gao Ning switch his emotions at will. Since it would amplify one emotion infinitely, it would be better to let him choose for himself.

Since it's difficult to resist, then we might as well not resist at all.

Zhou Fengliu stood still, using the remaining self-control to regulate his emotions. Among the many emotions, the most direct and simplest was anger.

In short, just do it!

...

After observing the situation inside the villa, Gao Ning and Dou Mei from Quanxing realized that Zhou Fengliu was no longer a threat.

“Hey, young benefactor, you’re still too hot-blooded. Xia He has protected you so much, yet you still insist on going your own way.” Gao Ning shook his head, adding that Xia He’s judgment was poor.

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly raised an eyebrow, sensing a slight change within Zhou Fengliu.

"It's already at its last gasp, why bother?" Gao Ning sighed.

He had barely finished speaking when a voice came from inside the villa: "If a young man isn't spirited, what kind of young man is he?!"

As he spoke, Zhou Fengliu burst out of the villa like a cannonball, delivering a front kick straight at Gao Ning's face.

Gao Ning instinctively raised his arm to block, but it was to no avail. The powerful inertia, combined with the full release of Zhou Fengliu's power, sent him flying.

This power...?

Dou Mei was dumbfounded. She blinked and Gao Ning disappeared from her sight without lingering for a moment.

"You old bald monk...you're having a good time, aren't you? Now it's my turn to mess with you?" Zhou Fengliu said, grabbing at the air in front of him.

In an instant, Gao Ning, who was flying off the ground, was controlled by an invisible airflow and firmly suspended in mid-air before he could even land.

As Zhou Fengliu clenched his fist, countless streams of air surged from all directions, transforming into invisible blades of energy that instantly sliced ​​across Gao Ning's skin. In the blink of an eye, dozens of cuts of varying sizes appeared on Gao Ning's body.

With blood splattered everywhere, Gao Ning was completely stunned.

He couldn't understand what was going on...

Everything was originally under his control, so how come the situation seemed to have gone awry after that person gave up resisting?

"Weren't you very arrogant? Didn't you keep calling me 'benefactor'?" Zhou Fengliu grabbed at the air with his left hand, and countless streams of air pushed Gao Ning's fat body rapidly toward him.

Seeing this, he suddenly gathered power in his right hand. With the blessing of the Qi Control Technique, he mobilized all the Qi that was somewhat out of his control to his right hand.

"Come here, you old bald monk, let me show you what I'm like with this serious punch!"

Zhou Fengliu used the Qi Control Technique; in just a few breaths, the Qi within his body almost solidified, enveloping his entire right hand...

Chapter 41 A Serious Punch! Destroying Gao Ning! (First Update)

Gao Ning desperately wanted to use his Qi to escape, but it was no use. He was suspended in mid-air with no point of leverage. In addition, the airflow behind him was pushing his body forward, making him feel like an insect caught in a spider web, unable to move.
