Chapter 122:

"You mean I was unconscious for three whole days and two nights? During that time, the three of you stayed with Xiao Yezi the whole time?"

Xu Yue nodded.

"Brother Jinlong said your head wound was from a gunshot... so after you passed out, I wanted to get you
to the hospital as soon as possible. But Xiao Li Jing objected. He said that once you were in the hospital, the
experienced doctors would immediately recognize it as a gunshot wound and would definitely call the police. Once the police got involved
, no one could predict how things would turn out. Brother Jinlong also supported Li Jing's statement...
Brother Jinlong said he had been investigating those people for some time. That woman's influence is enormous. According to him
, not only the Public Security Bureau, but also the Provincial Party Committee, various party and government organs, and government departments all have her
followers. If we went to the hospital, the hospital would report it to the police, and that woman would quickly get the news. And once she found
us, we would definitely not be able to escape as easily as we did this time. Going to the hospital would be no
different from walking into a trap."

"And then?" I nodded, agreeing with Du Jinlong's statement. Putting aside everything else, the sycophant
was a bureau-level official in the government, and clearly, the sycophant had long since become that Daye Rinpoche's devout follower.
In recent years, religion has spread rapidly within government agencies and party departments, infiltrating every
corner . The sycophant is certainly not the only religious official;
many others adhere to various religions. These people, in their hearts, might not necessarily betray their principles as government officials for religious beliefs!
But the key is that Daye Rinpoche possesses the ability to bewitch people and control their thoughts and actions. She won't
even need to personally intervene; she only needs to control an official with legal jurisdiction as her
puppet to issue orders, and she can easily deal with me and Xu Yue. Therefore, Du Jinlong and Li Jing
's concerns are plausible.

"You're injured like this! You need immediate medical attention; I don't know what to do if you don't go to the hospital
. Li Jing said Brother Ye should have returned to the city by then, so he had me drive you here
..."

"Oh, is that so? So we're at Xiao Ye's house now?" I finally understood
where I was.

"Well... thankfully Brother Ye knows medicine, he cleaned and stitched up your wound. You're awake now... This whole
thing had nothing to do with you. I was the one who dragged you here... If anything had really
happened to , I... I..."

At this point, Xu Yue's nose tingled, and she looked like she was about to cry. Seeing this, I quickly patted
her shoulder. I comforted her, saying, "You can't say that... those people did such heinous
things! How could I stand idly by when I was in the middle of it? Besides, if you hadn't pulled me into the car, I wouldn't have
run into that girl Yan Jing..."

Hearing me mention Yan Jing, Xu Yue wiped away her tears, looked up at me, and asked疑惑地问道, "Brother Yan,
you seem to know Yan Jing from the past. I only know that she was the original
owner of my brother's house. Who exactly is she? You and she both have the surname Yan... what's your relationship with her?"

Seeing Xu Yue's questioning expression, I realized... Yan Jing didn't tell Xu Yue, Du Jinlong, or
Li Jing that she was my sister. Since Yan Jing didn't mention it, there seemed to be no need for me to publicize
it . After all, my relationship with Yan Jing involved my family's private affairs. Xu Yue and the others were outsiders,
and there was no need for them to get involved. I then said dismissively, "It's nothing. She, Li Jing, and I
are in the same profession. I've only met her a few times in the past. This time, we just happened to bump into each other because of those people
!"

"I understand, she's a sorcerer who catches ghosts
and demons, just like you and Li Jing! No wonder she's so skilled."

Hearing Xu Yue's explanation, I looked at her in surprise. Xu Yue quickly explained, "
What exactly do you do? Brother Ye and Li Jing have already explained it very clearly to me. Brother Jinlong and I have also sworn that we
will never reveal your identities or what happened this time!"

I waved my hand and said, "Swearing is really unnecessary. Even if this were to be told,
probably not many people would believe it. Ye Tong and Li Jing asked you and Du Jinlong to keep it a secret mainly because they were worried about causing
various rumors and panic in society. As for me, I'm not some kind of sorcerer, I'm just an ordinary magazine
editor . It's not what you think..."

Xu Yue lowered her head and replied softly, "Brother Yan, you don't need to say these things. I know what you mean,
you don't want me to get involved in these terrible things anymore! That's why you're saying these things so that I
can stay out of it in the future..."

"...This...if that's how you interpret it, I have nothing to say." I sighed. Because
what Xu Yue said was exactly what I was thinking. In my opinion, Xu Yue is just an ordinary female fitness
instructor. Even though this incident involved her family and relatives, she has her own normal life
and future. After this matter comes to a conclusion, she will eventually return to her normal daily life.
If she gets too close to people like me and Ye Tong, she might inevitably be drawn into the same danger again,
which is something I don't want to see. Unexpectedly, this girl is quite clever; she actually saw through my thoughts and
brought the topic up herself.

Xu Yue blew her nose and forced a smile. "I understand, Brother Yan, you're
a good person! You've always been thinking of me." After saying that, she noticed the empty bowl beside my bed and quickly stood up, saying,
"You've been unconscious for three days; you must be very hungry now. One bowl of porridge isn't enough. I'll go get you some more."

With that, Xu Yue took the empty bowl and left the room. After Xu Yue left, Ye Tong leisurely
strolled in again. He sat down on the edge of the bed with an air of authority, then pulled out a cigarette and offered it to me.

Although my craving for a cigarette was already kicking in, I still asked him with a hint of doubt, "Can I smoke in my
condition ?"

"Don't worry... my healing methods are different from doctors'! Smoke as much as you want, feel free to smoke, smoke freely!"
"...I guarantee it won't affect your recovery in the slightest." He said this while shoving a cigarette into my
mouth and lighting it for me with a lighter.

He said this, but as I smoked,
he carefully examined my head wound again before speaking with a hint of感慨 (gan3kai3, a complex emotion encompassing both admiration and awe).

"As expected of Honglian, only three days, and the wound is healing at least twice as fast as an ordinary person...
Sometimes, I don't even know if you and Wang Lie are human..."

I exhaled a puff of smoke directly into his face. "Damn it... don't bring this up in front of me.
Knowing that Wang Lie and I both find it taboo, would it kill you to say less?"

Ye Tong laughed loudly. It was clear he was very satisfied with my recovery from my reaction
. Therefore, he lit a cigarette himself and sat down beside me, leisurely smoking.

"You're incredibly lucky this time. A pistol bullet to the head didn't kill you... Before stitching you up, I checked your
skull; it was fractured, but it didn't penetrate. What caliber pistol did the other guy use? The penetration power is just too
..."

"7.62mm caliber, Type 64..." I leaned back against the headboard, then
squinted at Ye Tong's face, observing the fascinating changes in his expression.

"You...you're kidding me? Do you think I don't know anything about firearms? Du Jinlong said the shooter was
at most ten meters away from you. If it was a Type 64, wouldn't it have penetrated your skull?" Ye Tong's eyes almost popped out.

"I haven't handled many Type 64s, but I won't mistake them! The reason it didn't blow my head off wasn't because of insufficient penetration, but because
the bullet was melted by the sudden burst of crimson flames from my body." I pursed my lips, took a deep drag on my cigarette, and
forced every last bit of smoke into my trachea.

Ye Tong struggled to suppress the twitching of his facial muscles, finally spitting out a vicious curse: "You
're a fucking monster!"

"Whether I am or not, I don't know, but this time I really did encounter a monster." I tilted my head back and
stretched .

Ye Tong narrowed his eyes, looking somewhat surprised. "You mean that yogi's mother named Daye Rinpoche is
a demon? That's impossible… That woman is quite famous. You can find all her information on the internet,
and the Tantric sect recognizes her as a reincarnation of a protector Vajra. She also has her own temple. No matter how much the Tantric sect messes things up
, they wouldn't allow a monster to impersonate a reincarnated Vajra and infiltrate their ranks."

"Tch, what she did wasn't much better than a demon. But the monster I'm talking about isn't her, it's
that tattooed female demon who appeared…" I then told Ye Tong

about how the tattooed female demon had appeared and intercepted Daye Rinpoche during my escape.
Ye Tong frowned and asked to confirm, "You mean, the banshee saved you?"

"Whether it was to save me or not, I don't know. But if she hadn't interfered, I might have really been
caught ." I blinked as I answered matter-of-factly.

Ye Tong raised an eyebrow and then brought his face close to mine, scrutinizing me. I felt uneasy under his gaze and
pushed him aside. "You already saw my injuries, what are you looking at?"

"Looking at how handsome you are… You know what, even though you have a common face, if you look
closely , you're actually quite charming. Some girls even like your mature, older-man type. That banshee saved
you, could it be because she's taken a liking to you? That's why she risked her life to save her lover?" Ye Tong's face showed
a mischievous expression, and his words began to wander off-topic.

"You're trash... Stop teasing me! Tell me honestly, what are we going to do about
that damn Da Ye Rinpoche? Li Jing and the others should have told you about all the things she's done, right?"
I flicked my cigarette butt aside, intending to discuss this serious matter with Ye Tong.

"I know everything. But, not to discourage you, but if she really is Ruoshui, even if all my
girls It's unrealistic for just the few of us to cause her trouble! We should wait for
Wang Lie and the others to come back and then plan our next move." Ye Tong seemed extremely cautious at this moment.

Although I was unwilling, I knew that Ye Tong was right, and I lowered my head in frustration.

"Are we just going to watch her rob and kill people all over our area, waiting for Wang Lie and the others to come back and clean up the mess
?"

"You don't need to worry about that. She's already left our area, she arrived in Changsha yesterday..." Ye
Tong said, taking out his phone, sending a message, and then handing it
to .

This is a local news report. The headline reads, "At the invitation of local religious figures, Venerable Qingkong from Hong Kong,
Tibetan Buddhist Living Buddha Daye Rinpoche, famous singer Mololo, famous actor Zhang Moumou, and other prominent figures
gathered to attend the consecration ceremony of a gilded Buddha statue at a certain temple." The report is
dated yesterday.

I pursed my lips in annoyance. In the accompanying photos, I saw Daye Rinpoche
standing . This woman clearly doesn't have the ability to be in two places at once;
judging from her personality after I met her, using a stand-in is highly unlikely. Judging from this news report alone, this woman
has left our area. And it's estimated she won't reappear anytime soon. Because
the link at the end of the news report also mentions that after attending the consecration ceremony, the religious figures who attended will
participate in a series of public activities in the following days, such as Dharma debates, Buddhist promotion meetings, seminars, and so on.
Singer Mololo will even hold a special concert of Buddhist music! Many religious figures , including Daye Rinpoche,
will be attending, making the schedule quite tight. Judging from these arrangements, even if she could travel by plane
, it's unlikely she could come to our area again to
cause trouble .

"Isn't it lively?... Monk Qingkong is a Pure Land Buddhist, this woman is a Tantric Buddhist, and I
visited the temple where the Buddha statue was consecrated when I traveled to Changsha; I think it was a Tiantai temple. The singer, Moluo, I heard she studied Buddhism under a high-ranking monk
, supposedly a Zen monk... Different sects, yet they can all come together! Don't you find it interesting?
Hehe ."

Ye Tong was clearly already well-informed about the news; seeing me looking so closely, she...
She was explaining to me, or rather, talking to herself.

Just then, Xu Yue returned to the room with a bowl of warmed porridge.

Ye Tong noticed, snatched the phone from my hand with a sly smile, and left the room.

Xu Yue handed me the bowl and spoon, which I mechanically took and began to eat.
My mind was still preoccupied with how to handle the series of events caused by Daye Rinpoche.

Xu Yue realized my attention wasn't on her, and a look of disappointment crossed her face, but she didn't
show it. She gently told me to eat slowly, rest for a while afterward, and that she would
clean up later before leaving the room.

"Am I really just going to do nothing and wait for Wang Lie and the others to come back before settling scores with that bastard woman?"

I frowned after finishing my porridge. Because I knew very well that Wang Lie and the others probably would
n't be back anytime soon. The Xia Yucheng incident resulted in numerous deaths, making it extremely difficult to handle the aftermath quietly and without attracting public or
government attention. Even with Lu Zhaohui's help, it wouldn't be easy
. Therefore, Wang Lie and his group remain stranded in Xichang.

However, I'm unwilling to accept that this woman, after committing so many heinous acts, can still live
so freely; it's psychologically unacceptable.

But no matter how much I think about it, I can't come up with a
way . My mind is in complete chaos.

The confusion is bad enough, but at this moment, my brain keeps replaying
the erotic scene I saw in my dream before waking up.

The old-fashioned latticed window… the hazy moonlight filtering into the room… my father's rugged yet healthy body
… the woman's shapely, white thighs raised high on the mahogany chair… the long, flowing black
hair swaying with her movements… the haunting moans and gasps I now recall… it's like a perfectly natural
classical erotic painting.

"Grandma and Dad... How could this be? What kind of fucking crazy dream is this..."

I had the urge to slap myself. As a descendant... to fantasize about
my elders engaging in incestuous sex in a dream... This filled me with a severe sense of moral guilt!

But on the other hand, I suspected that this was probably not just a simple dream.

Because while having that dream, I had a rather subtle feeling, a feeling I had experienced before
. It was
the same . This plunged me into a deep fear...

I began to suspect that the scene in the dream was probably similar to the human-faced eagle in my memory, another long-forgotten memory that I had
ignored or deliberately discarded!

"Damn Xue Zong, damn Li Yong... they're creating such filthy things as incest between mothers and sons everywhere! First it was Lin Meimei
and her son, then it was He Yanqiu and her son... Now I'm thinking about all sorts of things, and I can even connect
them to my dad and grandma, that mother and son... Hmm? Wait a minute..."

I suddenly realized that I seemed to have made a subjective error.

"In my dream, I could only see my dad's face... The woman with her long, white legs crossed on the chair,
because her hair was covering her face, I couldn't really see what she looked like at all."

Thinking of this, I blinked, feeling a little relieved...

"I couldn't even see her face... so why did I assume it was Grandma? Hmm... it definitely wasn't! Grandma's hair was already gray
then ... and she had wrinkles on her face. The woman in my dream had smooth, white skin... how could
she be an elderly woman? Maybe it's because I've recently come across several incestuous mother-son relationships, and I've unconsciously
developed a habitual way of thinking. Seeing sex, seeing making love, plus the fact that at that time, it
was just , I couldn't help but make those connections...
that must be it."

But then, I fell into a new round of paradoxical thinking.

"If the scene in my dream is a hidden fragment of my memory, then who is the woman on the chair?
Back then, it was just me, my dad, and my grandma at home. My dad was a widower…
It's normal to have physical needs, and it's not wrong to find a woman to solve them. After all, if you suppress those needs for a long time, your mind will become
twisted . But as far as I can remember, my dad never brought a woman back to the old house. If he did… I couldn't possibly
not remember. After all, that era was different from now. Now, even in a small town like my hometown,
you can find a prostitute for a fee and bring her home for sex. Back then,
prostitution was just beginning to emerge in Guangdong and coastal areas.
It was impossible for my dad to find a woman in town to solve his physical needs while I was asleep, like people do now. Because there were simply no women to be found…"

"Could it be one of the women in the neighborhood? Is Dad having an affair with her, and
she sneaks over at night to meet him? Aunt Yongfa? Aunt Zhangquan?...That's impossible! The
aunties ...they're all dark-skinned and rough...where
would they find those snow-white, smooth legs? Besides, Dad has high standards; he wouldn't even look at someone who isn't attractive
...I remember during the two years I was with him after I went to junior high in the city, his colleagues and friends couldn't bear to see
him remain a widower, so they enthusiastically introduced him to several women." "He used me as an excuse,
saying he was worried my stepmother would treat me badly, and declined the offers. But privately, during meals, he told me that the women he introduced
weren't very attractive, and he didn't like them. Although Dad was clearly joking, it might have
been the real reason for his rejections. This shows that Dad does care about a woman's appearance.
He probably wouldn't like any of the women in our neighborhood, right? Besides, Dad's
relationships with the uncles and elders in the neighborhood are like brothers; he would never do something
like ."

"That's strange…who could the woman I was having sex with in my dream be?" Just when I felt like I was about to hit a dead end, a sudden thought flashed through my mind… another possibility

came to mind . 　　"…Could it be…Mom?"

At the lunch table, Ye Tong bluntly ordered us to leave!

"You guys have been hiding here, eating and drinking for free for days... I was worried that that perverted woman would come looking for
you , so I took pity on you and let you stay, eat, and even treated your injuries. Now
I'm sure that woman has gone out of town and is unlikely to come back to bother you for a while. Your
wounds go home and rest?"

I preemptively grabbed a piece of braised pork that he had his eye on, placed it between my chopsticks, and quickly put it in
my mouth. After chewing and swallowing, I wiped my mouth with my sleeve and said, "Don't worry... if nothing unexpected happens,
we'll leave this afternoon! I know you're causing a lot of trouble here, and it's not appropriate for us to stay any longer."

Ye Tong looked at the grease on my sleeve and showed an annoyed expression.

No wonder, because I was wearing his clothes. My own clothes, along with everything
inside had been burned clean by the crimson flames I emitted. This included my wallet,
ID card, work permit, various magnetic cards, keys, phone, lighter, cigarettes, and everything else.
When Li Jing and the others carried me to Ye Tong's place, I was completely naked.

So, after finishing the food in front of me, I stretched out my hand to Ye Tong.

Ye Tong stared at me, bewildered. "Why are you reaching out your hand to me?"

"What else? I have nothing right now... For the sake of brotherhood, lend me some money!
Otherwise, I won't even have enough money to catch the bus home..."

Ye Tong slammed the door shut as he entered. I sat comfortably in the passenger seat of the car,
leisurely enjoying the cigarettes I had looted from this guy's house, and then gave instructions to the beautiful female driver.

"First, take Detective Du back to his office, then Xiao Jing. After that, you can go home and rest.
When you pass Qingnian Road, stop at the Qingnian Road Subdistrict Office. I need to get a temporary ID card; I need to get
a certificate from them first..."

Xu Yue started the car and asked worriedly, "Are we really not worried about those people
coming to arrest us? Should we just go home like this?"

I smiled at Xu Yue's concern.

Before setting off, Ye Tong and I had discussed this issue. However, the final conclusion was that there was no need to worry!

The reason was simple: Daye. Among Rinpoche and his subordinates, the truly terrifying one was Daye. Rinpoche
herself . Only when she was present could she exert absolute
control over Ye Tong, Li Jing, and me. Apart from her, her other henchmen and subordinates were no match for us.
Moreover, many of her subordinates had personally witnessed the power of my Red Lotus. Without Daye's personal backing
, the possibility of these people daring to challenge me was almost zero.

Moreover, during the three days I was unconscious, Ye Tong, besides treating and stitching my wounds, didn't idle away his time. Instead,
he went out to investigate the current situation in the city. The result of his investigation was... as always!

For some unknown reason, Daye didn't use the followers she had cultivated in the city
to search for me and Xu Yue. Instead, she hurriedly boarded a plane to Changsha the following evening.
After she left, her group of subordinates also backed down. Within two days, they quickly withdrew
from the city. Even the Tantric Yoga studio on Qingnian Road, which had only recently opened,
closed down without warning. In a very short time, this woman seemed to have completely abandoned
all her original plans and schemes in the city.

It was only after confirming these circumstances that Ye Tong felt comfortable "
driving !

In my analysis and discussion with him, we concluded that Daye and her group's urgent withdrawal from the area was understandable.
The reason is simple: she had always been afraid of Wang Lie, the "Two Elements." Her sudden arrival in the area was
due to intelligence that Wang Lie was out pursuing the "Academic Sect" and others, allowing her to take advantage

of the situation! Now she knows of the "Academic Sect's" death. The destruction of the Academic Sect's group means that the "Two Elements"
could return at any time. Once Wang Lie returns, coupled with my sudden appearance as "Red Lotus," even
with the power of "Weak Water," she might not be able to escape unscathed from the combined attack of Wang Lie, me, and the other local demon hunters
. Therefore, rather than staying here to be "besieged" by Wang Lie and our group, it's wise to evacuate before Wang
Lie returns. After all, this woman is crazy, but definitely not
stupid!

Based on the above analysis, Ye Tong and I concluded that the city is safe. Of course,
it's not
impossible . However, in Ye Tong's view, even so, without Daye herself in charge locally, Daye
's puppet agents wouldn't directly take action against us. If she were to actually use secular
forces to attack us, it would inevitably provoke our desperate resistance. Once we resist,
unpredictable consequences would follow. And she and her
organization, which operates a chain of yoga institutions under the guise of spreading Buddhism, would be completely exposed to the government and the entire society... This is something Daye
herself absolutely doesn't want to see. She must have put in a lot of effort to build such a large organization silently
. Therefore, the possibility of her acting impulsively and recklessly is extremely low
.

"Don't worry! We were afraid... those people are probably even more afraid than we are! What they did...
none of it was respectable. Based on that alone... I estimate they won't come looking for
trouble ! But for you... with something like this happening at home, and your older brother coming back, what to do is the real problem
..."

Hearing me say this, Xu Yue probably immediately thought of her tragically deceased niece again, and she once more sank
into grief and pain.

When we got out of the car in front of the Qingnian Road Subdistrict Office, I checked Xu Yue's mental state
several letting her drive back to her residence alone. This girl was much stronger than I had imagined.
Although she cried uncontrollably in the car, with everyone's encouragement and comfort, she finally mustered the courage
to face the drastic change in her family. Of course, Xu Yue didn't intend to tell her brother the real reason for the little girl's death.
To be honest, this was far too cruel for her older brother. How to explain it specifically would depend on
finding her sister-in-law.

Finding her sister-in-law was clearly beyond her capabilities alone. Therefore, the three of
us , agreed to come and help her after finishing our own urgent matters
. This is why she decided to use this time to go home and rest.

Fortunately, I had connections at the street office and police station, and after a little over an hour, I successfully completed
all the necessary procedures there. I obtained a temporary ID card and applied for a new
one . Then I went to a nearby telecom store, used
the cash I "extorted" from Ye Tong to buy a new phone and retrieve my phone number.

As soon as I turned on the phone, a huge number of missed calls and unread text messages popped up.

After seeing the origins of these numbers, I suddenly had an urge to immediately
find Daye Rinpoche and tear this bastard woman to pieces!

The reason is simple... nine out of ten calls and text messages are from Zhou Jingyi!

In chronological order, the last few text messages read like this:

"...Not going to explain anymore?"

"...Fine! I understand...Looks like you're annoyed too!"

"This is your last chance! Either answer the phone or reply to the text!"

"It seems your own pride is more important to you...I respect your choice...This
is the end for us!"

Chapter 123

I sat on the stairs outside the telecom service hall, listening to the dial tone. I
was filled a bitter, tearless agony! Because Zhou Jingyi had completely turned off her phone...even
skipping the process of immediately hanging up after answering a few days ago.

"You bitch...I curse your ancestors for eighteen generations!"

My curses weren't directed at Zhou Jingyi, but at Daye. Rinpoche, that crazy woman! In my opinion,
the reason I didn't receive Zhou Jingyi's calls and text messages and reply to them promptly was entirely
this . The fact that my phone was actually burned by the crimson flames on my body
was something I selectively ignored.

"It's all her fault...it's all her fault...if it weren't for her! I might already be back with Zhou Jingyi!
Next time I see her, I'll send her to hell to meditate with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva! I
'll fucking write my name backwards!"

Realizing that it was impossible for me to rush to Changsha to seek revenge on Daye, and that I definitely couldn't beat
that woman, I finally stopped the insults, curses, and insults directed at Daye in my mind!

After careful analysis, I suddenly realized that although Zhou Jingyi clearly stated in the text message that she had broken up with me,
I still had a chance to gain her forgiveness.

Because I remembered her demanding the aluminum kettle from Zhao Zhongyuan at the Xia Yucheng altar... Besides,
the fact that her phone was off proved she was very angry! Angry meant she still cared about me. If she had truly given up on
our relationship, given her calm and realistic approach, she probably wouldn't have resorted to turning off her phone to
deal with me. She would tell me directly on the phone in an unusually cold tone and with unusual words, and then
block my number! Only by doing this would I truly give up!

Realizing that Zhou Jingyi was definitely angry at the moment, and that any effort I made in the short term wouldn't be very
effective , I could only hastily compose a text message explaining the damage to my phone over the past three days.

After sending the message, I helplessly scrolled through the remaining call messages.

The longest message was from Han Zhe. "...I've checked the information! The cause of death of the deceased in the photo could be one
of the following : 1. Died from a corpse curse, which is said to be... 2. Died from possession by a demon,
the causes of which are as follows... 3. Died from someone with the ability to absorb water... 4......"

I shook my head and clicked past the message. After seeing Daye absorb the moisture from my arm and
Yan Jing's withered arm at the time, I was already certain that the corpse in the photo was most likely Daye.
Rinpoche 's doing. Han Zhe's message came too late; it had already lost its value.

Among the other messages, besides Lu Zhaohui's concerned inquiry about whether I had received Zhou Jingyi's forgiveness
, there was an invitation from a local acquaintance to a baby's one-month celebration.

After reading all the messages, I suddenly felt an extreme sense of loss for some reason. Because during the three days I was unconscious,
that tattooed female demon hadn't sent any messages.

Along with this loss, I suddenly felt a strange sense of unease. "That female demon…didn't Daye
Rinpoche kill her, did he?"

Just as I thought this, I heard someone calling my name.

"Yan…Yan Ping? What a coincidence! What are you doing sitting here all alone? And what
happened to your head? Are you injured? Why is it bandaged?"

I looked up and saw an acquaintance, and immediately gave him a polite, forced smile.

The person who greeted me was Fang Jianming, a staff member of the local post office. He had business
dealings with our editorial department. Through our work interactions, we had gradually developed a rapport. Over the past
year or two, we've become quite close friends. We often grab late-night snacks, go to bars for drinks, or go bowling—
we're always together.

But these past few months, because of Lao Lu's unexpected death and getting caught up in
all sorts of , I haven't really contacted him anymore. Yet here I am, bumping into
him again.

Strictly speaking, we're just drinking buddies with some work-related dealings. But he still showed the necessary concern for my
current "abnormal state."

"Ah…it's nothing! I got drunk a few days ago and got into a fight. They hit me on the head and cracked it open.
My phone was gone too. So…I just bought a cheap one and I'm checking my phone messages from the last few days!"
I explained with a laugh as I stood up from the stairs.

Upon hearing this, Fang Jianming's face showed extreme astonishment. "Damn, nobody around here dares to hit
you? Don't they know you're Yan Lao Er's older brother? Aren't they courting death? Are you badly hurt? Didn't your brother get
revenge for you?"

It wasn't accidental that Fang Jianming and I became friends; the inevitable reason was that he,
like , were all veterans. After leaving the military, he worked in the local post office. Compared to me and Lao Lu, he
still retained a strong sense of thuggishness from his time in the army. He not only knew me but also
had some , so he was someone who knew us brothers inside and out. However, in reality, his relationship with another local underworld boss, Zhang Jingwu, was even closer. He even acted as a mediator in a conflict between
Yan Guang and Zhang Jingwu's gangs . 　　Seeing his expression as if he would stand up for me if Yan Guang hadn't intervened, I quickly made up a lie to get away with it. 　　"Come on... we were both drunk, it was just a little fight. It's such a trivial matter, why would I need my brother's help? Besides, the injuries weren't serious. If they were, would I be wandering the streets like this?" 　　Fang Jianming was a rough-around-the-edges type. Seeing my response, he didn't press the issue further . Instead, he immediately and affectionately pulled my arm, inviting me to a bar for drinks. This wasn't surprising; we hadn't seen each other for a while, and this chance encounter made it only natural . 　　I immediately declined. "Normally, even if you don't drag me, I'll happily follow you. But look at my head, it's still bandaged up, drinking isn't really appropriate." 　　"Tch, don't be ridiculous! Look at all those cigarette butts around you. Smoking! Can't you drink? You think going out drinking with a guy is boring? Let me tell you, I'll take you somewhere, I guarantee there will be beautiful women! But whether you can hook up with them or not depends on your own skills. Come on... if you don't come, you're looking down on me!" 　　Fang Jianming had already said all that, if I didn't go, it would probably affect our friendship. I briefly considered my original plans. The only thing I had planned was to meet with Du Jinlong and Li Jing the next morning to discuss finding Xu Yue's sister-in-law. 　　Zhou Jingyi was unlikely to contact me anytime soon, so Fang Jianming dragged me into his car, which was parked in a nearby parking lot. 　　After getting in the car, while Fang Jianming drove to our destination, I downloaded a backup of my phone book and then dialed the number of an acquaintance who worked at a bank . I confirmed that I would go to his place the next day to replace my bank card before hanging up. 　　Fang Jianming, who had overheard everything, was quite surprised. 　　"Yan Ping, you really went crazy this time when you were drunk... Smashing your phone is one thing, but did you even take out your wallet to hit someone? And you even lost your bank card?" 　　I continued to make up a lie with a wry smile. "Who knows... I was totally drunk. When I sobered up, I realized my wallet and keys were all gone. But you heard what happened, so it should be fine. My friend has already managed to freeze my account. I'll go there tomorrow and get a new card before unfreezing it. As for the keys, Ah Guang has spares, and there's a safe in my office. Besides, there's nothing valuable in my crappy place. Take it or leave it." 　　Fang Jianming said, giving me a thumbs-up as he drove. "You're something else... You've lost everything and you're still so calm! You're amazing... If it were me, I would have been frantically searching the world." 　　I thought to myself, "They're all burned to ashes, and no one else picked them up, so why should I worry!" But I joked with Fang Jianming. "That's right, you're different from me... Just look at your phone, it must have dozens of photos, videos, and numbers of all sorts of beautiful women. If someone finds it and posts it online, you'll be famous ... I don't need to worry about those things." 　　Fang Jianming didn't seem to care, and instead laughed smugly. Actually, what I said was one of his most self-important things. His biggest hobbies were drinking and having one-night stands. His phone always had a considerable number of female casual sex partners' phone numbers stored on it, in addition to various self-taken videos and photos. For an ordinary person like him, who wasn't an official or a wealthy man, having this kind of ability was quite a feat. 　　"That's because you don't play mahjong... Let me tell you! The easiest women to get into bed aren't those in bars or nightclubs, but those who frequent mahjong parlors. After a few rounds of mahjong, deliberately lose some money to her, and she's as happy as can be. Then, shamelessly say some flattering things, treat her to a meal or something, and then you can go to a hotel. This is based on my experience..." 　　When men get together, the conversation almost always revolves around women. Being with a friend like Fang Jianming, I'm no exception. But talking about these things with him does help ease my current depressed mood. A short while later, Fang Jianming parked his car on the roadside in front of a bar. 　　The bar's name was rather casual, "Golden Years," and its decor was in the British Victorian minimalist style. It wasn't particularly eye-catching, but it gave off a relaxed and cheerful feeling. 　　Fang Jianming bringing me to a bar for drinks was somewhat unexpected. Because we usually hung out together at barbecue stalls, street food stalls, or formal restaurants, and because he drank heartily and never really liked drinking in bars or similar establishments 　　, I immediately started teasing him after confirming we were at this bar. "Wow...it's been months since we last met, and you've really upgraded your standards? Got to bars now?" 　　Fang Jianming ignored my teasing and casually pulled me inside. 　　The bar wasn't large, only about 30 or 40 square meters. Facing the entrance was the bar counter, where a strikingly beautiful and voluptuous middle-aged woman appeared before me. Fang Jianming seemed quite familiar with this woman, greeting her with a smile without further interaction, before pulling me to a booth by the window facing the street. 　　The middle-aged woman seemed to know Fang Jianming's habits well; as soon as we were seated, she quickly brought a small bucket of iced drinks to our table and started setting it up.

First came three bottles of beer, then they pulled a bottle of Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor) from the bottom of the bucket and placed it in front of Fang Jianming. I
almost burst out laughing when I saw it.

"Damn it… I thought you'd improved your social standing! Turns out you still drink this stuff
at a bar… I give up, only you would think of drinking Erguotou at a bar."

"Heh heh, don't give me that! A bar, a bar, isn't it just a place to drink? What business is it of yours what I drink
! Isn't Erguotou liquor?"

"Fine, you're right! I'm too lazy to argue with you…"

Clearly, the three bottles of beer were prepared for me by the middle-aged female owner, so I unceremoniously
took one and poured myself a glass.

After finishing the beer, I pursed my lips and asked Fang Jianming about his real reason for choosing this bar.
Obviously, this guy wasn't just here to drink; there must be another purpose.

Fang Jianming didn't keep me in suspense and directly pointed to the middle-aged woman who had returned to the bar to explain why he
chose to drink here.

"See the female boss? She's Zhang Jingwu's woman... You know my relationship with Master Wu. This
bar hasn't been open long, and out of respect for Master Wu, we brothers have been coming here lately to help this woman gain popularity
and patronize her business."

I shook my head with a smile. "That's not a very good idea!"

Fang Jianming was stunned, clearly not understanding why I said that.

I then explained, "Your intention to come here to drink and support her business is good, but
bars are about ambiance... You and I are big, burly men. Do you think we fit in with this kind of place?
From what you're saying, besides you, Master Wu's men also come here often? If outsiders see
a bunch of thugs sitting here all day long, who would dare to come in and spend money?"

After I finished speaking, Fang Jianming blinked, seemed to think for a moment, and then slapped
his thigh in agreement. "I see... I was wondering what was going on. This bar's been open for months, and the guys
have been coming a lot to support it. But apart from us, the bar hasn't made much
money from other customers. So that's why."

"It's not too late to understand now... Tell the others about this later. If you want this place to operate normally,
you should stop showing off here. Let's stop pretending and finish our drinks and leave. If you still want to drink, we should
go somewhere else."

Fang Jianming, hearing me say this, quickly gestured for me to calm down and then lowered his voice to say to me,

"It's not time to leave... wait a bit! Let me tell you... I've been coming
here to drink at this time for five days in a row. You know why?"

"Why?"

"Because, if nothing unexpected happens, there will be beautiful women to see!"

"Beautiful women?" I was puzzled at first, then I finally understood the real reason this guy was coming here to drink.

"This bar, just like you said, hardly any normal customers come here. But recently I noticed that around this time
every afternoon, a stunningly beautiful woman regularly comes to this bar to drown her sorrows. To be honest
... I've seen plenty of women in my life. But a beauty like that is truly a first for me... When I saw
her, I felt like I was completely out of my mind. Don't laugh, but for the past five days, I've been thinking of going up to her and
striking up a conversation. But every time I ended up not daring to go over... Luckily you're here this time, so you can help out the brothers.
Today, I'm determined to get my hands on that beauty's... well, that's the real
reason ."

Fang Jianming chuckled and confessed to me.

I was both amused and exasperated, but also a little curious
.
What kind of woman could make a seasoned womanizer like Fang Jianming blush and hesitate like a lovesick teenager?

Having clarified my true purpose for coming here, I patiently began to savor
the beer . Waiting for the stunning beauty Fang Jianming had mentioned to appear…

Fang Jianming probably felt it was a bit disrespectful to have me drinking beer with him, so he ordered the owner to bring over a bottle of
high-end wine, along with snacks and pastries.

Hearing that the pastries were handmade by the female owner, I was immediately eager to try the cooking skills of this
underworld boss's mistress. But then the sound of the door opening interrupted my actions…

From Fang Jianming's gleaming gaze, I realized my target had appeared. I turned to look towards
the door , and what I saw… left me speechless.

The reason was simple… the beautiful woman who pushed open the door and entered the bar was none other than Zhou Jingyi.

Zhou Jingyi was wearing a simple women's trench coat; the wide hem didn't conceal her perfect
figure , but rather accentuated her elegant curves with its slight undulations. Entering the bar, she
walked straight to the bar without looking around. After briefly explaining her needs to the middle-aged woman,
she turned and walked to the far corner on the other side of the door. Then, as if utterly exhausted, she leaned back in her seat
, tilted her head back, and closed her eyes to rest.

Throughout the entire process, she didn't look at any other seats in the bar. Therefore, she was unaware that I was also in
the bar.

After Zhou Jingyi sat down, Fang Jianming excitedly reached out and patted my shoulder. He lowered his voice and
said to me, "How about it? I didn't lie to you, did I? What do you think of this girl? I bet you've never seen a beauty
like this , have you? Tsk tsk... Did you see her? Someone like her is a true beauty!"

I coldly pried Fang Jianming's hand off my shoulder. Fang Jianming seemed a little surprised by my
action .

I turned around and looked at Fang Jianming calmly and said, "I've seen her, not only have I seen her, but I know her very well!"

Fang Jianming was clearly very surprised. "Wh-what? You know her?"

I nodded. At that moment, I had no intention of continuing the conversation with him. So I
directly explained my relationship with Zhou Jingyi.

"She's my girlfriend..."

Looking at Fang Jianming's incredulous expression, I didn't offer any further explanation, but went straight to...
I stood up from my seat. I slowly walked across the hall to Zhou Jingyi's seat.

Zhou Jingyi only lazily opened her eyes after sensing someone approaching… and then recognized
me !

"What happened to your head? And what's wrong with your clothes… they're too small, not yours…"

That was Zhou Jingyi's first sentence, but then she seemed to realize something. She immediately shut
her mouth, turned her face to the side, and let out a heavy "humph."

I smiled ingratiatingly, pulled out the chair opposite her, and was about to sit down. But Zhou Jingyi raised her hand, pointed to
the chair next to her, and coldly said, "I have an appointment, they'll be here in a bit. You sit over there
…"

I froze on the spot. Sitting in front of her wasn't an option, and following her instructions to sit in the next seat wasn't an option either
. In the end, I could only stand there and quietly explain to her why I hadn't answered her call.

"I ran into some trouble a few days ago, and I lost my phone. I also injured my head and slept for three whole days, only waking up
this morning. I just went to the phone store to pick up a new one. I didn't mean to ignore your texts or answer your
calls."

After saying this, I calmly watched Zhou Jingyi's reaction. Zhou Jingyi's face was turned towards the floor-to-ceiling window facing the street, and with each
rise and fall of her chest, I could hear her heavy breathing.

After adjusting her breathing, Zhou Jingyi lazily responded.

"Finished? Is this your explanation?"

I nodded. "I'm not lying to you, I really didn't mean to ignore your calls. If you don't believe me… I can
find someone to vouch for me!"

Zhou Jingyi sneered, suddenly turning her head, her eyes wide as she yelled at me. "
Is this your explanation? Is this what I want you to explain? I want you to explain what's going on between you and those
messy women!"

After saying this, she angrily turned to look out the window again…

Faced with Zhou Jingyi's roar, I was completely dumbfounded!

If I could truly find a plausible reason to have sex with Guan Xue and those other women, our
cold war wouldn't have lasted this long. And even now, I haven't
honestly confessed to Zhou Jingyi about having actual sexual relations with Guan Xue and the others.

To put it bluntly, I'm afraid! Because I'm unsure how Zhou Jingyi will react when she finds out I actually slept with other women
. But logically speaking… tragedy is inevitable.

"What's wrong? Not saying anything?"

I noticed Zhou Jingyi's upper body trembling slightly.

"Nothing to say, huh?"

Zhou Jingyi turned to look at me again.

"You only need to answer one question now, one question is enough!" she
said, panting.

"Wh-what question?" I stammered, already anticipating what she would ask
.

"Did you sleep with those women? Just this one question. Answer me honestly!" Zhou Jingyi
stared intently into my eyes, gritting her teeth as she asked the question I feared most and had always been unwilling to answer directly.

"Should I lie?" I struggled with the thought. But I ultimately rejected it...

because a lie might fool someone for a while, but it would be exposed sooner or later.
I didn't know if the other "saintesses," including Chunri, would cover for me. But Guanxue certainly wouldn't... Although our time together was short,
I had gained a basic understanding of Guanxue's personality. That woman was fearless
and seemed to be inherently incompatible with Zhou Jingyi. From the tattooed demoness, I learned
that with the loss of the academy master Zhu Xi, having sex with me was the only way to suppress the demonic power within them. For them,
whether or not to develop feelings for me was secondary; maintaining a regular sexual relationship with me was
a matter of life and death.

On the way to Muli County, Chunri privately confessed this fact to me. She was very
frank . She told me clearly that she had no feelings for me in that way, and she wouldn't shamelessly fawn over me like Guanxue did
to save her own life; she had her own dignity. However, if I were to sympathize with their
plight and maintain a purely "friends with benefits" relationship with these women, she wouldn't refuse
to have sex with me. After all, she doesn't want to mutate into a demon in her lifetime.

Haruhi is a representative of those women. When she talked to me, it was more like she was treating this
as a transaction. And to some extent, I became the "antidote" for them to maintain their human identity and lives!
In compensation, they could follow me and serve me as they followed Master Zhu Xi! Of course, she also gave
some hints, that is, besides her, the other four "Holy Maidens," including Guan Xue
, were very satisfied with my abilities in that area, so they all had some affection for me...

I finally reached a deal with Haruhi. I don't need them to follow me like servants before
, nor do I want to restrict their personal freedom. I just hope that they can help me when I need their assistance in
dealing . In return, when they come to me, I must
"dissolve the demonic power within them."

The reason for reaching this agreement was primarily based on humanitarian considerations. Of course, I'm not
a saint ; I've witnessed the "bedroom skills" of several "holy maidens" and have, to some extent, felt a lingering fondness and indulgence.
But I insist that this is only a secondary aspect... even though I know I'm deceiving myself!

An agreement is an agreement, and therefore, maintaining sexual relationships with Chunri and the others is
inevitable .

Deceiving Zhou Jingyi now, even if I can get away with it, will eventually be exposed!

I remained silent for a long time, driven by the mentality that "what's meant to be will be," and finally
mustered the courage to look Zhou Jingyi directly in the eyes and confirm this fact!

"I...I've...and I've slept with them all

." Although Chunri hasn't actually had physical relations with me yet, as long as she doesn't turn into a demon,
sleeping with me is inevitable, so I simply included her in the calculations!

While I was considering how to answer, the female boss carefully brought Zhou Jingyi drinks and...
Snacks. Then, like a startled rabbit, I quickly fled from the tense atmosphere between Zhou Jingyi and me.

The wine she had just brought immediately became a tool for Zhou Jingyi to vent her anger, who suddenly stood up. As soon as I finished
speaking , she splashed the cold red wine directly onto my face...

"Okay... finally admit it!"

Zhou Jingyi's attitude at this moment was frighteningly calm. After splashing wine on my face, she elegantly sat
back , refilled her wine glass as if nothing had happened,
and asked indifferently, "Were you all at the same time? Group sex?"

"...Yes!" At this moment, I felt like a child who had done something wrong, only knowing
to lower my head in front of her and mechanically answer her questions. This situation unconsciously reminded me
of when I was a child, being scolded by my grandmother sitting in a chair for doing something wrong.

"Oh... was it good? Was it particularly exciting?"

Zhou Jingyi raised her glass and took a small sip. But the trembling rim of the glass betrayed her
true state of mind. Seeing that I didn't react for a while, she looked up at me.

I really didn't know whether to answer her question.

Because for me, the "sex battle" with Guanxue and the other three was indeed extremely exciting and
exhilarating . That was also my first experience of what "group sex" felt like.

But the glass of red wine earlier made me realize that I could no longer answer honestly at this moment. Heaven knows
what kind of "attack" she would launch on me after the red wine...

I noticed that Zhou Jingyi's hands were trembling slightly. She put down her glass. Her hands were clenched into
fists...

Just as I was preparing to be violently beaten by her,
the sound of a high-end race car braking sharply came from the street outside the bar. This sudden sound distracted Zhou Jingyi and me.
We almost simultaneously turned our gaze to the window...

A high-end race car, which is extremely rare even in China, stopped by the roadside next to the bar. Then a
young man who looked to be in his twenties, dressed in sportswear, got out of the driver's seat.

Through the bar's glass, the man saw Zhou Jingyi and smiled, waving at her. After locking
his car , he walked briskly into the bar.

Seeing him greet Zhou Jingyi, I suddenly recognized him…

“Sun…Sun Cong? Isn't this the young master of the Baihui Group, Sun Cong?
I've seen his picture in the online news! And Chen Xiaowei, the woman he was having an affair with at that yoga training center run by Daye Rinpoche,
is his current fiancée! What's he doing here? And he seems to know
Zhou Jingyi ?”
