Chapter 0001 Qingming Festival: A Time for Heartbreak and Resentment
"The rain falls in torrents on Qingming Festival, and travelers on the road are heartbroken. This is truly true!"
Jin Qi smiled bitterly, shaking his head, seemingly talking to himself.
He was looking at the tombstone opposite him, on which the numbers were clearly engraved: "The Tomb of My Beloved Son, Long." Before the tombstone were offerings of fruit and vegetables, along with a pair of red candles and nine sticks of incense. The date of erection was also clearly engraved on the tombstone: "April 5th, 2001 AD." "Isn't that Qingming Festival six years ago?"
Jin Qi smiled bitterly, thinking to himself, "Cold Food Festival, abstaining from fire, tomb sweeping, spring outings—today should be somewhat relaxing, but why do I feel so depressed? It truly lives up to its name as a time of death!"
He hadn't brought an umbrella, letting the light April rain of northern Sichuan fall gently. His hair was a little wet, and his vision was slowly blurring, but he paid no attention. Beside him was only a rural woman, about fifty years old. The woman wiped away her tears, her nose stinging, and choked out, "Gaisheng, your classmate has come to see you. It's been seven years!"
She wanted to say something more, but her throat tightened, and she
couldn't utter another word. Jin Qi nodded but remained silent. He had lied to the woman who had brought him to Long Gaisheng's tombstone. He had brought a large pile of gifts and several thousand yuan in cash for Long Gaisheng's parents, claiming it was collected by Long Gaisheng's classmates.
However, he wasn't Long Gaisheng's classmate; in truth, they should have been strangers. Jin Qi had come for a reason.
He had endured being separated from his girlfriend, Ximen Bingbing, for half a month to come to this grave to pay his respects and investigate—clearly, it was something very important!
What Jin Qi noticed now was a man sitting sideways on the mound of earth behind the tombstone, facing him. The man sat quietly on the grave, wearing a down jacket in the April weather, his face pale in profile. Jin Qi steadied himself, trying his best not to show the chill in his heart. The grave was surrounded by a swirling aura of resentment, with wisps rising from the man's grave into the dark sky. Jin Qi had noticed this from afar, and at that moment, a chill ran through him; his prediction had been correct!
This man, however, was invisible to Aunt Long.
"Hmph, it's resentment transformed into a spirit, the aura of a vengeful ghost!"
The man slowly turned his head, and Jin Qi turned away, saying, "Auntie, let's go back. When we have time, his classmates and I will come to see him again."
Aunt Long sobbed as she put the offerings back in her basket, and she and Jin Qi slowly turned back. Throughout, Jin Qi didn't turn his head, because he knew from the corner of his eye that the lonely man sitting on the mound of earth had already turned around, looking at him with intense resentment.
If Jin Qi hadn't looked away, he would have been even more astonished. The half of the man's face that had been turned to Jin Qi was smooth, while the other half was charred black, like burnt wood!
Jin Qi didn't need to look to know that the man's eyes were filled with hatred and resentment. What kind of expression was that? Unresolved death?
However, he thought to himself, "Since this matter hides a great secret, I must investigate it thoroughly! It won't be in vain that I suffered the pain of separation from Ximen Bingbing!" Alas, although it was injustice, the resentment was even stronger; injustice and resentment were equally heavy!
Jin Qi was destined to be caught in another bizarre, suspenseful investigation, surrounded by invisible temptations!
For a handsome man like Jin Qi, he naturally wouldn't miss any opportunity to challenge himself with suspense! With challenges, one must dig deeper! With challenges, one's cultivation can also be upgraded—why not?
For some reason, Jin Qi thought of his girlfriend Bingbing's exquisitely beautiful face: "Bingbing, I don't know if I'll be able to come back to see you alive after this night! For you, I must return safely!"
Love gives him motivation!
He firmly believed that even the most difficult things could not defeat him!
Chapter 1001 Half-Moon Mark Startles, Blood Essence Weakens
August 1, 2006.
"Seventh Young Master, the newly recruited personnel staff have arrived!"
Personnel clerk Xiao Wu said to Jin Qi as soon as she entered the door.
Jin Qi had just returned from a two-week business trip to recruit in another city and was busy with a lot of trivial matters. Hearing Xiao Wu's words, he quickly looked up from his busy work and said, "Okay, I know. Where are they now?"
Xiao Wu walked over: "They have been arranged in training room number two!"
Jin Qi glanced at his watch. It was 11:30 a.m. He quickly grabbed his notebook and ballpoint pen and got up to go to the training room with Xiao Wu.
Two years ago, Jin Qi graduated from a 985 university (one of the 35 key universities in China, such as Peking University and Tsinghua University. Note by Tingyu). He then worked for Qilin Company, a large private joint-stock company in Shenzhen. He was now the personnel manager of one of the IT product component factories in the Yuanshan branch. This time, he recruited two new personnel clerks from the 2006 graduating class.
Pushing open the door, Jin Qi shuddered; a blast of cold air rushed into the room. He was puzzled; he hadn't felt this way in two years. Within two weeks of arriving at the Qilin Company's Yuanshan branch, he had thoroughly cleaned every corner of the building!
Two years had passed, and the gloomy atmosphere had completely vanished. Why had it reappeared today?
Moreover, outside, the southern sun was scorching! The gloomy aura emanating from the person in the room was truly heavy!
Jin Qi looked closely and saw a man and a woman in the training room. They knew from Xiao Wu that the personnel manager was coming in, and upon seeing Jin Qi enter, they quickly stood up.
Xiao Wu hurriedly introduced, "Liu Yijing, Ye Chongsheng, this is our personnel head, Jin Qi!"
The girl had nice skin, big eyes, and long hair, which was now tied up, giving her a lively and capable look. She smiled and said, "Section Chief Jin, good morning, I'm Liu Yijing!"
"Hmm, I know, I saw your resume a while ago, it's very good!"
Jin Qi smiled and said.
The boy had delicate features and thin lips that were slightly upturned. He usually had a sunny appearance, but now he had a melancholy look on his face. He took two steps forward, and with each step, Jin Qi felt a little colder. He quickly reached out his hand, trying to keep as far away from Jin Qi as possible!
The boy shook hands and said, "Seventh Young Master, my name is Ye Chongsheng!"
Jin Qi felt even colder as he shook hands with him, and couldn't help but shiver. Before he could speak, Xiao Wu smiled and said, "Seventh Young Master, I'm sorry, I was the one who stated it first. Everyone can call you Commander Jin, Section Chief Jin, Young Master Jin, or Seventh Young Master, whatever you like!"
Jin Qi smiled. He had only graduated from university two years ago. Although he was excellent at his job, he couldn't be serious with his subordinates. These titles, 'Commander Jin,' 'Young Master Jin,' and 'Seventh Young Master,' were what his sunny young man had been called by his female colleagues less than a month after joining the company. When he was promoted to section chief, he gained another title, 'Section Chief Jin.'
Jin Qi nodded, separated from Ye Chongsheng, and said, "Well, Liu Yijing, Ye Chongsheng, welcome to the personnel department. From now on, we'll be colleagues, working together and progressing together!"
The four chatted for a while, and Jin Qi asked Xiao Wu to take them to the office to meet his current...
several colleagues. He himself, however, was lost in thought.
Because, when he shook hands with Ye Chongsheng just now, even though it was only out of the corner of his eye, he could clearly see that the lunulae on the five fingers of Ye Chongsheng's right hand were almost completely gone!
Thinking back now, Jin Qi couldn't help but gasp. The lunula, shaped like a crescent moon, was the white crescent at the base of the fingernail. The lunula was the boundary between Yin and Yang meridians, representing the body's vital energy. The more abundant a person's energy, the whiter and larger the lunula, and vice versa.
But this Ye Chongsheng, so young, had such a weak lunula. As the saying goes, "Unexploded Qi returns to the liver as blood, unexploded blood returns to the kidneys as essence, and unexploded essence returns to the bones as marrow." His blood, essence, and marrow were all so weak, and his Yin energy was so heavy—why?
Could he even encounter ghosts under the sunlight?
Jin Qi felt a surge of joy. After all, Ye Chongsheng would be his subordinate from now on. It was only natural for him to help his subordinate. It seemed his profound Daoist skills would have another use!
Anyway, haha, he should first go and talk to Bingbing. Perhaps Bingbing was even more pleased that something big had happened!
After all, the Yuanshan branch of Qilin Company had been peaceful for quite some time, ever since that incident two years ago!
Chapter 1002 Charming and Touching, A Moment of Love
The last time the Yuanshan branch of Qilin Company was not peaceful was indeed a long time ago!
Jin Qi clearly remembered his first day in the department two years ago. He, along with administrative staff member Bingbing, general office staff member Han Hai, and general manager's office staff member Zhou Wenbin, were four fresh graduates who joined the company together. After a month of lengthy onboarding training at the Yuanshan branch's training department, they finally reported to the department together on this day.
"We're really unlucky. All my classmates are assigned to Qilin's Shachong headquarters!"
Bingbing complained, "Only I was assigned to this Yuanshan branch, which is remote and far from the city. Even going into the city to go shopping is inconvenient!"
"There's nothing we can do. Our entire factory is located here!"
Han Hai and the others comforted him. Qilin Company is a Hong Kong listed company with product business divisions in four regions of Shenzhen. The Shachong area is the headquarters, and the Yuanshan branch is nearly thirty kilometers away from the headquarters.
Jin Qi smiled, thinking to himself, "Bingbing looks like a delicate woman; her quiet complaints are understandable!" As soon
as the four arrived at Building B4, Jin Qi's heart sank. The characters "B4" were associated with darkness, facing away from the sun—an ominous sign. These two large characters, which should have shone with gold, appeared blood-red in Jin Qi's eyes. Even before reaching the teaching building entrance, he could already see scattered resentment, a subtle aura emanating from within.
Previously, he had only traveled between the training room and dormitory, never to the factory area. This was his first time at the Qilin Company's Yuanshan branch, and it was quite strange. Later, after understanding the true history of Qilin Company—that its four major production bases had previously been mass graves—he finally understood!
Upon reaching Building B4, the entire building seemed shrouded in darkness, without a ray of sunlight. At the bottom of the stairs, two people were smoking, one in red overalls and the other in white overalls.
Indeed, it was unclean.
Jin Qi turned his face away, a cold smile playing on his lips. Through his training, he knew this floor was a high-end IT packaging facility; would anyone be allowed to smoke outside in broad daylight?
These two were definitely suspicious!
He smiled slightly, finding it quite amusing. In the second semester of his senior year, after finishing his graduation project, he had spent a month in seclusion at the Xuanhuang Fanyin Reincarnation Temple. His hands were itching for practice; it seemed the time had come.
Jin Qi had long since concealed all his cultivation aura, appearing completely like an ordinary, sunny college graduate. Now he was going to play the fool and outsmart everyone—how could he not be happy?
As Jin Qi passed by, he overheard the young man in the white overalls exhaling smoke rings and saying, "Big brother, look, another batch of fresh graduates coming to the factory! They're so young..."
When Jin Qi, Bingbing, Han Hai, and Zhou Wenbin walked past the stairwell, the two men turned around, looking at them with mocking expressions. Seeing that they hadn't provoked him, Jin Qi felt relieved. He was new here, so he'd let it slide for now.
However, he couldn't tolerate them later. A new broom sweeps clean; how could he allow these unclean things to appear around him, a member of the Shu Mountain sect and a descendant of the Xuanhuang Temple on Xieyue Peak?
Reaching the third-floor reception desk, a petite, fair-skinned, and slender
girl approached. It was Xiao Wu, the personnel clerk they had contacted earlier. Xiao Wu greeted the four with a smile and led them to her office.
Suddenly, Bingbing asked, "Xiao Wu, is smoking allowed at the bottom of the stairs downstairs?"
Xiao Wu naturally smiled and replied, "Our factory has very high cleanliness requirements, mostly Class 100 or even Class 10 cleanrooms. How could smoking be allowed? Didn't you see that big No Smoking sign on the side of the factory building? The entire building is no-smoking!"
Jin Qi's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "Bingbing, why do you ask?"
Bingbing said, puzzled, "I clearly saw two people smoking by the stairs when I went upstairs just now."
Han Hai turned around and said with a smile, "It was quiet on the first floor just now, there was no one there."
Zhou Wenbin also smiled. "Yes, I'm still feeling cold," said Bingbing. "And why haven't I seen anyone along the way? It's so eerie!"
Jin Qi noticed that Bingbing and Xiao Wu's expressions changed, and feeling sorry for them, he tried to smooth things over, saying, "I think I also saw two people, one in red overalls and the other in white overalls, smoking in a corner! But they hid when they saw us coming! You guys were all so engrossed in talking about pretty girls that you couldn't tear yourselves away! Maybe that's why the four of you didn't see them, and maybe that's why Han Hai and Zhou Wenbin didn't see them either."
How could Han Hai and Zhou Wenbin believe that? They said their eyesight had always been good, so they still shook their heads and refused to believe it. Bingbing, however, was relieved. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "Thank goodness, Jin Qi saw them too! I thought..."
Clearly, from this very first day, she felt a sense of closeness to Jin Qi, whom she had only known for a day. It seemed she had gained another new friend!
Therefore, Jin Qi forced a natural smile and said, "It's alright! Our first day of work is about to begin, everyone, cheer up!"
Xiao Wu, for some reason, smiled awkwardly and said, "It's alright, that's good! Let's go into the office!"
It was the first day of work, and after 5:30 PM, Han Hai, Zhou Wenbin, and Bingbing came to find Jin Qi. They were still discussing whether anyone was on the stairs.
They were still worried.
Only then did Jin Qi properly examine Ximen Bingbing. Her pale face was filled with fear, making her look pitiful and touching. Jin Qi sighed, "Ah..."
If someone had said before that there was such a thing as love at first sight, Jin Qi would never have believed it. But now, saying it was love at first sight, Jin Qi absolutely believed it!
Because that was exactly how he felt about Ximen Bingbing.
Chapter 1003 The Purifying Curse of Heaven and Earth, A Narrow Passion
Jin Qi already understood. Although Bingbing wasn't a cultivator of either Buddhism or Taoism, and had no guilty conscience, she was still considered to have a partial ability to see evil spirits, occasionally able to see unclean things. He guessed that Bingbing couldn't hear what the red-clad employee behind her was saying; as for Han Hai and Zhou Wenbin, they definitely couldn't hear their words or see their figures.
And him? Of course, he could both hear and see!
He thought even more strongly that someone like Ximen Bingbing, if she were to cultivate immortality, would be an unparalleled talent; if she were to cultivate Taoism, she might possess extraordinary potential. But she clearly wasn't!
The worst part was that she had no magical power, yet she was prone to attracting things with supernatural abilities!
It seemed that, for the sake of this naturally troublesome beauty, Ximen Bingbing, to have a smooth and peaceful work life in the future, Jin Qi told himself that he had to make his first move at the Yuanshan branch factory!
As the four were talking, Xiao Wu, who hadn't yet left work, also came over.
Bingbing looked at Jin Qi and asked, "Then why did Jin Qi and I both see two workers, one in red overalls and one in white overalls, smoking?"
Everyone turned to Jin Qi, but before he could speak, Xiao Wu said, "Bingbing, are you sure it was one in red overalls and one in white overalls?"
Bingbing nodded, and Xiao Wu's expression changed.
Han Hai couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Wu, what's strange about this B4 building?"
Xiao Wu turned around, looked around to see that there was no one else in the office or the corridor, and whispered, "You don't know, a year ago, during a night shift, a technician in a red overall and an employee in a white overall both died mysteriously. Later, many new girls who had just joined the factory said that when they first went up to B4, they saw an employee in a red overall and an employee in a white overall smoking together on the stairs!"
"And then?"
Jin Qi asked, seeing Bingbing's scalp tingling.
Xiao Wu continued, "It's strange, it's always the newbies who see it on their first day. Once people get familiar with B4, they can't see it anymore."
Bingbing's face turned pale, and Xiao Wu added, "Just like what Ximen Bingbing and Jin Qi said today! Some people even said they heard them talking! They were actually two brothers, the elder brother named Li Yong, and the younger brother named Li Gan."
Jin Qi was puzzled. How did Xiao Wu know so much?
Han Hai and Zhou Wenbin initially didn't believe it, but now they were also sweating profusely. Jin Qi hurriedly said, "Maybe it's because it's our first time going upstairs today, and we're so excited that our eyes are playing tricks on us! There's some Western philosophy about this, or maybe many people have hallucinations when they do something for the first time!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he frowned because a cold draft swept in from the corridor outside, along with footsteps. It was two people coming side by side. One of them said, "Brother, I have some things to do tonight, you should go back first!"
The other's voice said, "I know you have to work overtime, it's okay, I'll wait for you for a while!"
Jin Qi recognized these two voices; they were the same ones from the stairwell earlier that day.
Bingbing shivered and asked, "Why is it so cold all of a sudden? Everyone's turned on the air conditioner, right?"
Han Hai and Zhou Wenbin also shivered. Xiao Wu quickly said, "It's getting late... let's go home!"
With that, she got up and headed for the door. The four of them also stood up, but the footsteps at the door grew closer. Once outside, Bingbing would inevitably run into the two men.
"Wait!"
Jin Qi suddenly called from behind.
Xiao Wu and Bingbing stopped and turned around. They heard Jin Qi take off his long shirt and hand it to Bingbing, saying, "Bingbing, you can wear this."
He only had a short-sleeved crew neck shirt underneath. Bingbing blushed when she saw it, but she was really cold and couldn't refuse. She said "Thank you!"
and took it, draping it over her shoulders.
In the heart of this naive young girl, the image of this handsome boy had already vaguely taken shape.
Jin Qi silently chanted the mantra in his heart: "Heaven and earth are natural, let the foul air disperse.
The cave is mysterious and vast, the primordial energy shines brightly!
Cold and yin energy, do not face me!"
At the same time, his right hand formed a Daoist hand seal, and he concentrated his mind and breath. In the instant Bingbing grabbed her clothes, he transmitted the spiritual power of the "Purifying Heaven and Earth Divine Mantra" to the three balls of spiritual fire on Bingbing's forehead, sealing her Yintang Fire Seal. In this way, she could neither see the two people nor hear their conversation.
Sure enough, as they exited the corridor, the two people came towards them. Jin Qi smiled slightly and did not look at them. The other four people could not see them. Only Bingbing felt a chill penetrate her heart as she brushed past them, and she couldn't help but sneeze repeatedly, "Ah...sneeze..."
Bingbing turned around, but the corridor was empty. She couldn't help but wonder, "It was so cold just now, so cold!"
Everyone turned around, but there was nothing in the corridor except for the pale white light. The two people also turned around, but only Jin Qi could see them. Jin Qi still ignored them indifferently. Back then, at Shenyang East University, he weathered countless storms. Aside from the battle against the Flying God and Demon, and the Seven-Tailed Wolf, the plot twists and turns, this act of feigning weakness was his absolute specialty.
Playing the fool to deceive others was his favorite tactic!
Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, the two assumed they couldn't see them and continued chatting and laughing as they went.
What a close call!
Chapter 1004 Fearless in the Dark, Boldly
Following the Sound Two weeks passed, and Jin Qi wasn't idle. In his spare time, he meticulously cleaned the entire B4 building, from the restrooms to the elevators and warehouses! Sure enough, there were still quite a few illusory spirits and ghosts. The entire B4 building gradually brightened, filled with yang energy under the sunlight.
Then, he slowly began cleaning up the entire Qilin Company's Yuanshan branch factory! Actually, his target was Sha Yong, the headquarters of Qilin Company…
Just after getting off work that day, Ximen Bingbing, Han Hai, and Zhou Wenbin suddenly came to find Jin Qi and Xiao Wu. Bingbing said, “No, Jin Qi, I still saw them! I saw them swaggering around in the corridor at noon today! I’m still so scared!”
She was already quite familiar with Jin Qi, and she spoke with a mournful look in her eyes. Jin Qi’s heart stirred, and he was somewhat captivated.
Zhou Wenbin said from the side, “At first, I thought Bingbing was joking, but she keeps saying it every day. Now it seems she’s not joking; it’s true!”
Jin Qi was shocked. He knew the power of his “Purifying Heaven and Earth Divine Mantra.” How could ordinary ghosts break his spiritual power? It seemed that the two brothers’ yin energy was not simple to be able to break the “Purifying Heaven and Earth Divine Mantra.” If this continued, they might become vengeful ghosts and harm their colleagues, which would be terrible!
Xiao Wu whispered from the side, "The whole company knows this B4 is haunted. They've hired countless sorcerers and monks to secretly perform rituals at night, but nothing works. What can we do?"
Seeing Bingbing's fear, Jin Qi felt sorry for her and chuckled, saying, "So the company has noticed too. Perfect, let's clean it up tonight!"
Bingbing opened her beautiful eyes wide and asked, "You...you have that ability?"
Xiao Wu and the others were also surprised, their eyes filled with disbelief. Although Jin Qi was incredibly handsome, the ways of the Xuanmen (Taoist sect) were not something an ordinary person could just learn. What use would a childish ghost-drawing talisman be?
Jin Qi smiled sheepishly and said, "Believe it or not, it doesn't matter! We'll verify it in a bit. Anyone who wants to come after dinner can come!"
Han Hai and Zhou Wenbin discussed it; they hadn't believed it to begin with, so they both nodded and said, "Okay, we'll be back tonight!"
Bingbing was naturally the most afraid, but seeing Jin Qi's confidence, she nodded as well. She then pleaded with Xiao Wu, "Xiao Wu, come along tonight!"
Xiao Wu laughed, "No way, I'm a coward!"
Jin Qi laughed heartily, "You're a coward? I'm afraid none of us are as brave as you!"
After dinner, the five of them went upstairs. The Human Resources and Administration Department was a functional department, and the office was quite far from the workshop. Although there were employees working the night shift in the workshop, it was too far from the office area. On their way upstairs, they didn't see a single person, and they were all anxious. But when they saw Jin Qi's calm and composed demeanor, they all felt relieved.
When they reached the third-floor stairwell, Bingbing's expression changed, and Jin Qi was also startled. He had naturally heard the sound of two people walking in the corridor before, but he didn't expect that Bingbing could hear it now as well, and even more so. It seemed that the two people's sinister aura was becoming more and more intense.
He shook his head slightly and smiled bitterly, secretly chanting a divine incantation: "With a still mind, there is no coming or going... neither going out nor coming in, naturally ever-present."
Then he sealed everyone's third eye with his finger, making them unable to see the foreign object; he then sealed Bingbing's third ear. Bingbing immediately felt the world become completely peaceful, knowing that Jin Qi had done something. Her eyes widened, sparkling, but how could she believe that Jin Qi really had such abilities? When Jin Qi came upstairs, the employees in red and white uniforms stopped moving when they saw someone coming up. They all stood under the pale white lights in the building, staring fixedly at Jin Qi and the others!
Jin Qi waved his hand, and the crowd, puzzled, heard him shout, "Stop!"
He looked up again, his eyes gleaming, no longer the polite and sunny young man of the day, but possessing an imposing and unyielding aura. He asked, "Li Yong, Li Gan, why don't you two reincarnate instead of lingering here!"
The red-clad Li Gan and the white-clad Li Yong, their names called, were startled. They exchanged a glance, and Li Gan suddenly realized, nodding and saying, "Brother, it was him!"
Li Yong asked, "Hmm! Not bad! It seems you also cleaned up the wronged souls in every corner of this restroom?"
Jin Qi smiled slightly and replied, "It was I who did it!"
Li Yong snorted and asked, "You're meddling in other people's business. Do you know the injustice we brothers suffered?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the two brothers trembled violently. When they calmed down, their appearances had drastically changed. They had sharp teeth, disheveled hair, and their eyes were filled with white pupils, with blood still trickling down their cheeks. The elder brother in red, Li Yong, had a long crack on his neck, his cervical bone broken, a sign of hanging; the younger brother in white, Li Yong, had his head smashed open, a sign of jumping to his death!
Jin Qi chuckled slightly, not caring much about such ghostly transformations. He simply waved his hand: "I'll give you five minutes to speak!" With
that, he raised his hand, chanted an incantation, and the surrounding air transformed into a five-element sphere, encompassing himself, his group of five, and the two brothers, Li Yong and Li Yong.
Bingbing and the other three stood there dumbfounded, seeing Jin Qi speaking to the empty space below with such seriousness, they felt a surge of fear. Bingbing quickly moved closer to Xiao Wu, only to find Xiao Wu trembling as well.
Seeing his extraordinary power, the white-robed Li Gan dared not move! Li Yong in red was an even more ferocious ghost. Seeing Jin Qi's calm expression, without a trace of fear in his eyes, and witnessing the conjured five-colored halo, he knew its power and exclaimed, "I've only heard the spirits and old tree demons in the factory area speak of the 'Five-Colored Divine Travel Shield' in the current Shu Mountain Taoist magic, which is immune to all evil. I didn't believe it, but seeing it today, it truly exists! You, young man, seem ordinary. Could you perhaps be a Shu Mountain disciple who has entered the mortal world?"
Jin Qi was pleased to see that Li Yong recognized the "Five-Colored Divine Travel Shield" and was afraid of him, thus saving him the trouble of fighting.
Li Gan in white asked, "Brother, is he very powerful?"
Although Li Yong in red was afraid, he also had some doubts, so he said, "I'll try! Be careful!"
With that, he stretched out his claws, his nails growing to three feet long, and his hand suddenly extended to three zhang (approximately 10 meters), becoming the size of a fan, and reached for Jin Qi's throat!
Chapter 1005 A dying man's words are good.
The ten claws dripped blood, ferocious and terrifying. An ordinary person would likely faint on the spot!
Jin Qi, however, was completely unafraid. When the ghostly claws were only two feet in front of him, a flower bloomed beneath his feet, radiating countless rays of light, blocking the claws. He then secretly chanted an incantation, summoning a fire escape technique between his brows. A ball of Samadhi True Fire engulfed the ghostly claws, its flames surging!
The ghostly red-clad Li Yong trembled with fear at the sight of fire; it was his nemesis! He frantically tried to retract his ghostly claw, but it was too late. He hissed and begged for mercy, "Spare me! I'll never dare to fight again!"
Seeing his elder brother in such a state, Li Gan in white dared not step forward to help, and begged for mercy from the side, "Spare me!"
Jin Qi was not a bloodthirsty person to begin with, and sighed, saying, "Alright! I'll spare you this time! Quickly tell me why you've lingered in the mortal world!"
After saying that, he withdrew his fire escape technique, and the strange flower shrank to his feet on its own. The ghostly claw of the red-robed Li Yong quickly retracted, no longer daring to have any intention of fighting.
Li Gan hurriedly said, "My elder brother and I used to work at a company. Although the salary wasn't high, our lives were fulfilling. But that night, when we were working overtime, our true essence was drained by the thousand-year-old tree spirit outside the wall. My elder brother was hanged by him, and I was swept off the building. Only a wisp of my soul remains, wandering here!"
So that's how it was. The Li brothers had their essence drained, and their three souls and seven spirits could not return to their places, leaving them powerless to leave!
Jin Qi listened without speaking, then with a flick of his right hand, a beam of light shot out, and a phantom mirror appeared on the wall. He said leisurely, "Look, are there still tree spirits outside that wall?"
The two ghosts looked outside and trembled simultaneously. After a long while, they both knelt down and said, "So it was you who helped us avenge ourselves! We are your benefactor, and we cannot thank you enough!"
Jin Qi raised his hand, and an invisible magical power rose up, lifting the two up. Li Yong exclaimed, "A week ago, the whole building was buzzing with rumors that someone had cut down all the old tree spirits overnight. It turns out
it was you, our benefactor!" "In the past two weeks, not only B4, but the entire factory area has become several times cleaner. It really was you, our benefactor, who intervened? What profound magical power!"
Li Gan also sighed.
Jin Qi nodded, about to speak, when Xiao Wu, Bingbing, Han Hai, and Zhou Wenbin beside him grew impatient. Xiao Wu nudged Jin Qi and asked, "Commander Jin, why can't we see anything?"
Bingbing chimed in, "We want to see!"
Jin Qi was annoyed; what was so interesting about ghosts?
He could only smile helplessly, "You want to see too? Aren't you scared now?"
Ximen Bingbing, Xiao Wu, and the others nodded firmly, saying, "We're definitely not scared!"
Jin Qi thought that the two people's appearances were truly terrifying; how could he dare let Bingbing, Xiao Wu, and the others see them? He already had an idea in mind, and began chanting, "Heaven and Earth, Mysterious Ancestor, Root of All Qi. Cultivate for countless eons, prove my divine powers."
This Shu Mountain Daoist technique, the "Golden Light Incantation," opened the four's heavenly hearing, but still sealed their heavenly eyes!
Li Yong said, "Damn it, we can't take revenge on the old tree ourselves!"
Bingbing was startled. She couldn't see anyone, but she heard voices. She, Xiao Wu, Han Hai, and Zhou Wenbin exchanged glances and finally mustered up her courage to say, "...A week ago, a tree that was perfectly fine by the company's wall suddenly withered and died. The company had to dig it up. It turns out this tree was more than just ordinary!"
Han Hai was also surprised and asked, "If you are ghosts, why don't you reincarnate?"
Li Yong, dressed in red, sighed and said, "This Yuanshan branch factory is basically a mass grave, especially the various construction sites, which are even more filled with yin energy! We are the ones who can gather yin energy to become souls!"
"What about the Qilin Company's headquarters in Shayong?"
Jin Qi asked again, a thought flashing through his mind.
Li Gan, dressed in white, replied, "The same! And possibly even worse!"
As soon as they spoke, Xiao Wu burst into tears, saying, "Big brothers, why don't you ever look at Xiao Wu?"
The others couldn't see Li Yong and Li Gan's expressions, but Jin Qi could. Their faces suddenly softened, and they said, "Little Wu, thank you for remembering us. Today, with your help, we will return to the cycle of reincarnation. You must take care of yourself from now on!"
When Xiao Wu first started working, she received a lot of care from the two brothers. Although Xiao Wu couldn't see them, she nodded.
Jin Qi waved his hand, not wanting them to linger in the mortal realm any longer, and said, "I've calculated that today, the Heavenly Dragon is on its journey and the Earthly Tiger is returning to its place. It's an auspicious time, so I'll escort you two to the Underworld!"
The white-robed Li Gan and the red-robed Li Yong happily replied, "Thank you, benefactor! We brothers are unfamiliar with the path to the Underworld, so thank you, Feng Jiu , for escorting us!"
Jin Qi nodded, his fingers forming a Daoist incantation, rapidly conjuring his magical power. He proclaimed, "Azure Dragon, White Tiger, in harmonious opposition.
Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, guarding my true self.
The Dao of Shu Mountain, so be it
! Rise!"
Suddenly, a halo appeared in mid-air—the Daoist "Seeking the Cry of Suffering, Boundless Daoist Ring." The white-robed Li Gan and the red-robed Li Yong recognized it; they had heard that this was the first-rate Daoist method of Shu Mountain for liberating the dead. Filled with gratitude, they bowed and turned to float into the halo.
Jin Qi pulled another mirror from his pocket, only the size of a palm, with a bronze back and an ancient, timeless appearance. He handed it to Xiao Wu and Ximen Bingbing, saying, "This is the 'Eight-Sided Auspicious Xuanyuan Mirror,' you can take a look!"
Everyone rushed over, and among them were the backs of Li Yong and Li Gan, one in red and one in white. Ximen Bingbing exclaimed in surprise, "Ah, it's them! They look exactly like the two I saw!"
Han Hai, Zhou Wenbin, and Bingbing were even more horrified. Xiao Wu's face turned bright red, tears welling in her eyes, and she continued to cry.
No one laughed at her!
Before disappearing, Li Yong in red seemed to remember something and said to Jin Qi from afar, "My benefactor, there's something else you must be careful of. There's a bloodthirsty beast at the Qilin Company headquarters... sucking yin energy... you must be careful..."
Jin Qi didn't hear clearly, and his heart skipped a beat. "Hmph," he thought, "if I have the chance to go to the Shayong headquarters, I must investigate the strange bloodthirsty beast there!" Moreover, his ultimate goal was to directly target headquarters...
After that night, Building B4 was completely restored to its pristine state, bathed in sunlight and brimming with righteous energy.
That "Eight-Sided Auspicious Xuanyuan Mirror" was merely a Shu Mountain relic magic weapon given to Jin Qi by his master at Xuanhuang Temple. It could reflect the affairs and demons of Xuanhuang, but its power was far below that of the most powerful offensive weapon...
!
Three months later, Bingbing became Jin Qi's girlfriend, and he gave her the "Eight-Sided Auspicious Xuanyuan Mirror." Bingbing carried it with her all the time, looking at herself from every angle. Unfortunately, the company had been thoroughly cleaned up by Jin Qi, so the mirror had no other function besides its ordinary everyday function.
In the past two years, Jin Qi had been promoted to head of the personnel department, while also occasionally interfering in various matters, sometimes secretly setting up formations and casting spells in old houses in town to ward off evil spirits. He was living a comfortable life.
This year, Bingbing was also transferred to the position of head of the finance department, and their standard of living rose sharply. They bought a beat-up car and a mortgage on a shabby house, just an ordinary couple.
They were enjoying their sweet romance... Jin Qi seemed to have forgotten about his plan to explore the headquarters of Qilin Company in Shayong...
But, would Long Chongsheng's arrival at the Yuanshan branch of Qilin Company bring any different kind of strangeness?
One thing was certain: his arrival stirred up Jin Qi's memories. He would definitely go back to the Shayong headquarters to take another look, as the yin energy there was definitely even stranger! What did the red-clothed ghost Li Yong mean?
Now? Saving Ye Chongsheng was the priority!
Chapter 1006 Happiness on the Face, Yin Energy in the Heart
Time returned to the present, the second half of 2006, two years after Jin Qi started working. He
had been particularly busy recently, and Jin Qi had only returned after a two-week business trip.
It was already September, but this time, when he saw Ye Chongsheng, it was different. Although Ye Chongsheng's face still had a heavy yin energy, he had a slight smile on his face, as if he had encountered something happy.
He didn't understand, and was just pondering, where did the yin energy on Ye Chongsheng come from? " If it's a happy occasion, why is there still this lingering gloom?
" "Seventh Young Master, what are you thinking about?"
Xiao Wu suddenly turned around and asked. Since the incident two years ago, Xiao Wu had always been grateful to Jin Qi, especially a year ago when the former head of the personnel department at the Yuanshan branch was transferred to headquarters, and Jin Qi was promoted to department head, he gave Xiao Wu, the clerk, a substantial raise.
Jin Qi smiled mysteriously. Seeing his new employee, Ye Chongsheng, behaving strangely, he already had a plan in mind. Just as he was about to speak, the "Three-Foot Bell That Creates Waves Without Wind" at his waist suddenly rang. He was startled. How could something new have entered the usually clean B4 building after only two weeks of business travel? The
"Three-Foot Bell That Creates Waves Without Wind" was a defensive magic weapon; it would ring incessantly when it encountered something unclean.
Over there, Ye Chongsheng breathed a sigh of relief. His work for the day was finally finished. Looking up, as if sensing something, Xiao Yun was already waiting for him outside the window.
Ye Chongsheng smiled happily. Xiao Yun was the girl he had met a few days ago in the B4 elevator; petite, delicate, and quiet.
That day, Ye Chongsheng entered the elevator and was about to close the door when a girl quickly slipped in. She simply looked down, not pressing any floor buttons. Ye Chongsheng asked, "Excuse me, which floor are you going to?"
The girl looked up, her face pale and smooth, her large eyes deep and unfathomable. She seemed surprised, but smiled and said, "Thank you, I'm going to the fifth floor."
The fifth floor housed Ximen Bingbing's new job in the finance department, as well as the business department and other offices.
Ye Chongsheng thus became acquainted with Xiaoyun. These past few days, getting off work had been his happiest time, as Xiaoyun always came to his office door on time.
A moment later, Ye Chongsheng went out: "Xiaoyun, let's go!"
Although his voice was soft, Jin Qi heard him clearly.
After they disappeared from sight, Liu Yijing came over and said to Jin Qi, "Director Jin, Ye Chongsheng has been acting strangely these past two weeks while you were away on business!"
She smiled forlornly. They had joined the company together, so she naturally cared for him more than most people.
Jin Qi smiled. He saw the little girl at the door, but knew Liu Yijing couldn't see her and couldn't tell her, so he replied, "It's nothing. Didn't you see he was in great spirits?"
"It's precisely because he seems so happy now that I'm worried! Before, he was melancholic, but it was normal!" Liu Yijing said anxiously, "Now he's often alone on the stairs or in the corridor, smiling. He rarely speaks, but it seems like he's occasionally talking to the air next to him, which is strange!"
"Of course he's not talking to the air, it's Xiaoyun next to him!"
Jin Qi thought to himself, "You just can't see her."
Xiao Wu also came over and said, "Commander Jin, is something wrong?"
Jin Qi nodded and said firmly, "Trust me...it's absolutely nothing!"
That evening, back at the apartment, Jin Qi asked Ximen Bingbing, "Bingbing, is there a girl named Xiaoyun in your finance department?"
Bingbing, finding his question odd, thought for a moment and said, "Xiaoyun? No… Ah, but I heard there was a Xiaoyun a few years before I came."
Jin Qi quickly asked, "Really? What happened to Xiaoyun then?"
Bingbing smiled and said, "Didn't you always say, 'Don't judge people behind their backs during the day, and don't talk about ghosts behind their backs at night'? Why are you asking today?"
Jin Qi smiled but didn't speak. He had known Bingbing for two years and knew her well, knowing she would continue on her own. Sure enough, Bingbing continued, "This Xiaoyun, I heard about her from the older employees in our finance department. She used to be the office assistant, petite and cute, and everyone liked her, but unfortunately…"
Her tone became regretful, and Jin Qi quickly asked, "What's the pity?" "What?"
Bingbing sighed. "It's a pity she died in a car accident three years ago in front of the company!"
Jin Qi also sighed. Bingbing quickly asked, "Why are you asking about her? Suddenly, for no reason?"
Jin Qi didn't answer, but only said, "Tomorrow, you will lend me the 'Eight-Sided Auspicious Xuanyuan Mirror'."
Bingbing was puzzled and smiled, "What's wrong? Is something the matter?"
She pushed Jin Qi again and said, "You have so many treasures, like the 'Splitting Light and Receiving Shadow, Linked Double Rings' and the 'Pure Heaven Pure Mantra Heart Sutra,' which you've never shown me, treating them like treasures. Why do you need the 'Eight-Sided Auspicious Xuanyuan Mirror' this time?"
Jin Qi smiled, put his arm around her, and said, "Those are just some small magical artifacts. It doesn't matter whether you see them or not. Besides, I've said before that seeing too many is actually bad for you!"
Bingbing didn't press the matter. She loved Jin Qi and would give him enough space.
The two laughed softly for a while and went to rest.
But Jin Qi had already figured out how to deal with the female ghost Xiao Yun!
Chapter 1007 A Heart Full of Devotion, Tears of farewell
The next day, as it was time to leave work, Jin Qi left the department early and stood at the door.
Sure enough, Xiao Yun appeared in the corridor, smiling broadly. It seemed she too was deeply in love with Ye Chongsheng!
Jin Qi chanted a divine incantation: "Supreme Star, ever-changing response. Exorcise evil and bind demons, protect life and body!"
Then he stretched his finger forward, drawing a semi-circle, and stopped in mid-air!
Xiao Yun's expression changed drastically. She didn't recognize this door, "Seeking the cries of suffering, boundless magic." However, such power was far beyond what a little ghost like her could resist. Jin Qi slowly walked to the elevator and entered himself. Xiao Yun understood and followed him in with her head bowed.
Inside the elevator, Jin Qi locked the buttons and said to Xiao Yun, "Xiao Yun, go and reincarnate. Why linger here any longer!"
Xiao Yun was shocked. It turned out this person with magical power had already found out everything about her origins! She burst into tears, raising her head. Her previous innocent appearance was gone; one of her eyes had popped out, her face was covered in blood, her mouth was crooked, and her hair was splattered with blood—the marks of a fatal car accident. She cried out, "Please, Section Chief Jin, spare me! I only want to be with Chong Sheng!"
Jin Qi shook his head. He wasn't afraid of Xiao Yun's appearance. He said, "You two can't be together! Humans and ghosts are ultimately different. You should go!"
Xiao Yun pleaded again, "He's happy with me, and my yin energy won't harm him!"
Jin Qi nodded, saying, "That's right. I'm also wondering why he seems to be in better spirits and unaffected by yin energy when he's with you. I'll investigate later! However, I..." " According to my calculations, your soul has been wandering in the mortal realm for three full years. If you don't leave today, your soul will likely be scattered tomorrow!"
Xiaoyun said, tears streaming down her face. "Even so, I'm willing. Of these three years, only these last two weeks have been the happiest for me! For the past two years, my spirit has been wandering on the road where I was hit and killed. Only in these last two weeks has it taken shape, and I've thought of coming back to the office to visit! Once it took shape, I encountered Ye Chongsheng, and I just couldn't bear it!"
Jin Qi sighed and said, "If you really want what's best for Chongsheng, leave now. Otherwise, after your soul is scattered tomorrow, what will he do when he misses you even more? He'll live a life of pain, remembering you. Can you bear to see him suffer such heartache?"
Xiaoyun remained silent. For the sake of her beloved, silently disappearing might be the best way. Finally, she said, "Anyway, today and tomorrow are just one day. Oh well, it's fate. Alright, I'm leaving! But Xiaoyun has another matter to ask Section Chief Jin for help with!"
Jin Qi asked curiously, "What is it?"
Xiaoyun also looked confused and said, "I always feel that I can't harm Chongsheng because the yin energy on Chongsheng's body is too heavy, even heavier than mine! I don't know the reason. If that's the case, Chongsheng will only live for a few years. I want to ask Section Chief Jin for help to see if there are any other evil spirits entangled with Chongsheng!"
Jin Qi nodded and replied, "Yes, I've been very busy these days and haven't noticed this. Don't worry, I will definitely protect Chongsheng. He is also my subordinate!"
In his heart, he thought, "Even female ghosts can be sensed. It seems my worries were not in vain!"
Xiaoyun cried softly
, bowed again, and when she looked up, she had already regained her previous beautiful appearance and smiled sweetly. With a sigh, she leaped into the "Seeking the Cry for Suffering, Boundless Daoist Ring" drawn by Jin Qi and floated straight to the River of Oblivion.
Jin Qi sighed, his fingers flashing with a magical light, and opened the elevator. Outside, a crowd of impatient people were cursing the elevator malfunction. He returned to his office; Ye Chongsheng was still looking around anxiously at the door, with Liu Yijing silently keeping him company.
Sigh, she...she likes him!
Bingbing had also finished work and came to find Jin Qi. She was talking to Xiao Wu inside. Jin Qi said to Ye Chongsheng and Liu Yijing, "Come here for a moment!"
The three entered the room. Jin Qi winked at Bingbing and said, "Bingbing, did a group of people from your side get transferred to the Shanghai branch?"
Bingbing was taken aback, but knowing Jin Qi well, she quickly replied, "Yes! Xiaoyun and the others were transferred last night!"
Ye Chongsheng was confused and asked, "Last night? Why didn't Xiaoyun tell me?"
Liu Yijing breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed Ye Chongsheng was still confused. It was Xiao Yun who was guarding the house. Section Chief Jin had indeed found a way to get rid of her, so she hurriedly said, "Xiao Yun? Of course, the young lady is embarrassed. What does it matter whether I tell you or not? We're going to part ways anyway!"
Ye Chongsheng still didn't believe her. Jin Qi said, "I did run into her yesterday. She told me, 'Thank you all, especially Ye Chongsheng, for taking care of me, but I'm going to Shanghai to find my boyfriend!'" "So she has a boyfriend?"
Ye Chongsheng fell silent and sighed. Jin Qi gave a wink, and Liu Yijing pulled Ye Chongsheng out for dinner.
After the two figures disappeared from sight, Xiao Wu hurriedly asked, "Commander Jin, which Xiao Yun?"
Bingbing also asked with a smile, "Yes! What's going on here?"
Jin Qi smiled, took out the "Eight-Sided Auspicious Mirror," recited the incantation, and shook it twice. Xiao Yun's image appeared in it. Xiao Wu was horrified and said, "Isn't this Xiao Wu from the finance department three years ago? She died in a car accident three years ago!"
They entered the factory at almost the same time, rising from general workers to clerks. How could they not recognize each other?
"Could it be that Ye Chongsheng has been dating a ghost for the past two weeks?"
Bingbing was also startled!
Jin Qi nodded and said, "Bingbing, I think you used to only see evil spirits occasionally! After I protected him for two years, you couldn't see them anymore! But this Ye Chongsheng has an aura that attracts ghosts. He must have deep resentment on him, and now he must be haunted by a vengeful spirit. I must find out why this is." "
Haunted by a vengeful spirit?"
Bingbing hurriedly said, "That's why I always feel so cold when I'm near him! But you also need to be careful. You mentioned fighting the tree spirit at the gate two years ago, and you only narrowly won. I'm very scared!"
Jin Qi nodded, looked at her gently, and said with a smile, "Yes, I understand! You must also believe that the disciples of the Xuanhuang Fanyin Reincarnation Temple are not so easily defeated."
He was now certain that Ye Chongsheng was being hunted by evil spirits! When he had time, he would deal with them properly!
Chapter 1008 Another Grievance, Returning to the Spirit Wood
The next day at work, Jin Qi said to Xiao Wu, "Xiao Wu, I need to have a performance review with Ye Chongsheng. Have him go to the training room!"
Jin Qi didn't wait long in the training room before Ye Chongsheng entered. Seeing his tired expression, Jin Qi asked, "Chongsheng, did you sleep well last night?"
Ye Chongsheng smiled awkwardly and replied, "Thank you for asking, Young Master Qi. It was alright!"
Jin Qi first discussed Ye Chongsheng's work, including personnel performance evaluations, KPIs, recruitment, and employee relations. Ye Chongsheng's work was commendable; he was proactive, humble, and meticulous—this was the truth.
Jin Qi had previously reviewed Ye Chongsheng's resume in the office and suddenly smiled, asking, "Chongsheng, you seem to be two years older than your classmates. You had excellent grades in university, so you must have been excellent in high school too. How come you're older?"
He wanted to ask if he had repeated a grade for about two years, but that would be too hurtful, so he didn't ask.
Ye Chongsheng's expression changed slightly, but he replied, "That's because I repeated a year in both junior high and high school. It's quite common in rural middle schools, so I spent two extra years in middle school and became two years older."
Neither of them spoke for a long time before Ye Chongsheng suddenly said, "Young Master Jin, I know why I wanted to talk to you today."
Jin Qi shifted his posture, feeling somewhat uneasy, and asked with a smile, "You know? Tell me, why?"
Ye Chongsheng said somberly, "Actually, how could I not know that Xiaoyun isn't human?"
Jin Qi was also startled, but remained silent, waiting for Ye Chongsheng to continue.
Sure enough, he continued, "The first day I saw her, she was in the elevator. Although she was quiet and reserved, the mirror on the top of the elevator clearly reflected her image after death! It was eerie and terrifying!"
Jin Qi asked curiously, "Since you saw it, aren't you surprised or scared?"
Ye Chongsheng remained silent, looking outside, and said, "I was scared the first and second time I saw her, but I wasn't scared afterward! Later, in the corridor, I was the only one talking to her, and no one greeted her, seemingly ignoring her. She was all alone, which made me even more certain that she wasn't human! But when I was with her, chatting and laughing, I was genuinely happy. Why should I care whether she was human or a ghost?"
Sure enough, he had enough yin energy to see things that ordinary people couldn't!
Jin Qi asked, "Alright, Chong Sheng, since you're so frank, I'll be frank too. I've detected a different kind of resentful energy on you, far surpassing Xiao Yun's ghostly energy. It comes from afar and is detrimental to you! Over the years, it will accumulate and haunt you, harming your health!"
Ye Chong Sheng's face turned deathly pale, but he said, "Thank you, Young Master Jin, but it's alright!"
Jin Qi was puzzled and said, "Actually, you can tell me what's wrong with the resentful energy on you. It seems you're haunted by resentment. Tell me, and I can naturally help you." Ye Chong
Sheng lowered his head for a long time before finally raising it and saying, "Thank you for your concern, Young Master Jin, but this is my private matter, so there's no need for that!"
Jin Qi stood up and said, "Chong Sheng, you don't need to be so polite with me. Although the 'Spiritual Wood of Devotion' on your chest is effective... it's gradually being eroded by the resentful energy. I'm afraid it will completely lose its effectiveness in less than half a year."
Ye Chong Sheng was stunned. He had obtained this "Spiritual Wood of Devotion" from the Thousand Mountains of Guandong to protect himself, but he hadn't expected Jin Qi to recognize it at a glance.
"Don't be surprised. Although the Thousand Mountains of Guandong are a sacred place of Taoism, they are still far inferior to the ancestral home of the Liaodong Taoism sect, Ironclad Nine Peaks Mountain! Why don't you go to Ironclad Nine Peaks Mountain to seek spiritual treasures?"
Jin Qi asked again.
Ye Chongsheng sighed. He knew this too. If he had had more time back then, he would have gone to Ironclad Nine Peaks Mountain! Indeed, Jin Qi was no ordinary person!
However, his matter was extremely confusing. It was a lifelong secret, and it might even implicate Jin Qi. He shook his head and said, "Thank you, no need for Young Master Jin to worry!"
He stood up, turned around and left the training room. Before leaving, he paused and said, "Please keep this a secret, Young Master Jin. If I am in danger, I will definitely ask Young Master Jin for help!"
But by saying this, Jin Qi at least gained something. Ye Chongsheng was indeed haunted by something unclean, a vengeful spirit!
Knowing this made things easier!
Chapter 1009 After Getting Drunk, Painful Words
That evening, Jin Qi asked Bingbing, puzzled, "It's definitely haunted by a vengeful spirit! Ye Chongsheng is kind by nature, he doesn't seem like a murderer at all! What is it that Ye Chongsheng won't tell me?"
Bingbing smiled and said, "He has his reasons for insisting, but is that 'Spirit Wood of Conversion' really about to lose its effectiveness?"
Jin Qi nodded seriously and said, "Exactly, although the 'Spirit Wood of Conversion' is a wood-type divine weapon, a good object for warding off evil, the resentment is gradually expanding. I'm afraid he will be in danger within half a year!"
"Sigh, I think Ye Chongsheng doesn't know your abilities and thinks you're just an ordinary young man!"
Bingbing comforted her, she herself hadn't known Jin Qi's abilities back then! Then she muttered to herself, "Seventh Young Master, what is it that has such a deep grudge against Ye Chongsheng? It's been dead for so long and it's still haunting him?"
Jin Qi didn't know either, and the two fell silent.
A few days later, Jin Qi, taking advantage of his position, accessed Ye Chongsheng's personnel file. Ye Chongsheng's home address was listed as "Nanshan Middle School in Sichuan," without a specific location, only a landline phone number.
He dialed the number; after three rings, someone answered. He quickly said, "Hello!"
"Who are you looking for?"
a woman on the other end shouted, speaking with a strong Sichuan accent.
Fortunately, Jin Qi could understand Sichuan dialect, so he quickly asked, "Excuse me, is this Ye Chongsheng's home?"
"Ye Chongsheng? I don't know him, you've dialed the wrong number! This has always been the public phone at the Nanshan Middle School's reception office!"
The other end slammed the phone down.
Jin Qi hung up, puzzled. Why was Ye Chongsheng's home listed as the reception office's public phone? He had never heard Ye Chongsheng mention his home. Could it be that he didn't have a home? Clearly, he had deliberately left a wrong number in his personnel file. What secret was he hiding?
Two months later, Ye Chongsheng's face grew increasingly pale, and his eyes gradually darkened. It seemed the yin energy was corrupting his body, and the condition was worsening.
One day after get off work, Liu Yijing came to find Jin Qi and said, "Jin Ke, Chong Sheng is becoming more and more silent. He always seems preoccupied and listless during the day!"
Xiao Wu said from the side, "Yeah, judging from his appearance, he definitely didn't sleep well."
Jin Qi nodded, thought for a moment, and then said, "The last time we had a get-together was two months ago. Next week, I'm taking Chongsheng to Sichuan to recruit 2007 college graduates, so let's have a farewell dinner tonight!"
He turned to Liu Yijing and said, "Call his cell phone and tell him to come out and join us for dinner!"
With his boss giving the order, Ye Chongsheng had no choice but to go!
That evening, Jin Qi kept giving Bingbing and Xiao Wu meaningful glances, encouraging them to toast Ye Chongsheng a lot. Ye Chongsheng drank quite a bit, and by the time the party ended, he was completely drunk. As the head of the personnel department, Jin Qi naturally knew a lot about this kind of persuasive drinking.
After a hearty meal, Jin Qi said to Liu Yijing, "I'll take Chong Sheng back. Be careful!"
Bingbing, knowing Jin Qi's plans for the evening, glanced at him and said with concern, "You be careful too!"
Jin Qi escorted Ye Chong Sheng back to his bachelor apartment. As soon as he opened the door, a wave of yin
energy hit him. Jin Qi gasped, glancing around. Luckily, there was a small peach wood sword by Ye Chong Sheng's bedside, apparently hung there by Jin Qi himself, preventing the room from becoming too filled with evil energy.
"This kid knows to take precautions, but how can such amateurish precautions withstand this fierce ghostly energy!"
Jin Qi wondered what kind of resentment was haunting Ye Chong Sheng.
He placed Ye Chong Sheng on the bed, opened the door, and went to the balcony. He felt even more chilled. The yin energy slowly and continuously approached from the west, and the "Three-Foot Bell That Creates Waves Without Wind" at his waist rang slightly.
Jin Qi sneered. It seemed that the resentment had found Ye Chongsheng from afar and was slowly gathering. Once it took shape, it would become a vengeful ghost, which would be detrimental to Ye Chongsheng, stealing his soul and pursuing his life.
He returned to the house, took out seven copper coins from his waist, divided them into the shape of the Big Dipper, and placed them under Ye Chongsheng's bed. Then, he stretched out his right hand, chanted a mantra, and a pair of transparent halos appeared in his hand. This was the magic weapon of the Xuanhuang Fanyin Reincarnation Temple, "Splitting Light and Receiving Shadow, Linked Double Rings." He hung "Splitting Light" on the balcony and "Receiving Shadow" in the center of the room to absorb the yang energy of the human world and resist the yin energy. In this way, even the most powerful vengeful ghost could not harm Ye Chongsheng as long as it did not gather in a line.
He was about to leave to turn off the light when he heard Ye Chongsheng suddenly cry out, "Don't hit me...don't hit me...it hurts..."
Jin Qi was startled, a thought struck him, and he sat down beside Ye Chongsheng's bed. Ye Chongsheng was still crying out in pain, "Don't...don't hit me...it hurts..."
Even in his sleep, he was still convulsing, clearly in pain, constantly crying out after being drunk.
These are all years into the 21st century, how can someone still be brutally beating someone?
Jin Qi sighed, thinking, so he has such painful memories, what happened?
He could only place his hands on Ye Chongsheng's temples and cast a calming spell: "See no evil, hear no evil. Encompass heaven and earth, nurture all living beings."
After a moment, Ye Chongsheng calmed down, stopped talking in his sleep, and fell into a deep sleep.
Jin Qi, filled with questions, also left alone.
Chapter 1010 The Haunted Building Fire, Questions from Two Schools
Back in his dormitory, Bingbing inquired about Ye Chongsheng's situation with concern, then asked, "Jin Qi, what's going to happen next?"
Jin Qi replied, "Next week we're going to Sichuan to recruit, which is Ye Chongsheng's hometown and alma mater. Perhaps I can find some clues!"
The next day, Ye Chongsheng approached Jin Qi for the first time, saying, "Young Master Jin, thank you. Yesterday was the most peaceful night's sleep I've had in years!"
Jin Qi smiled and said, "From now on, you'll sleep peacefully!"
Ye Chongsheng was silent for a long time before saying, "Young Master Jin, if I had done something... wrong in the past, how would you view me?"
Jin Qi sighed, not understanding his words, and could only say, "In this world, who can truly distinguish right from wrong?"
"Before, I didn't want to tell Young Master Jin because I was afraid of implicating him, but now I realize that Young Master Jin is truly extraordinary... Alas, if it were ordinary matters, I would naturally tell you, but I have too many..."
After Ye Chongsheng finished speaking, he stopped talking and left.
Several good nights' sleep left Ye Chongsheng refreshed and radiant, with his work efficiency significantly improved. Jin Qi then asked Xiao Wu to inform Ye Chongsheng about the recruitment trip to Sichuan this week. Ye Chongsheng hesitated for a moment, but ultimately nodded in agreement.
However, in the past few days, chickens had been disappearing every night around the Qilin Company's Yuanshan branch factory. Several days later, the dead chickens were found, their feathers charred as if burned.
Jin Qi, hearing this under the sunlight, nodded and gave a disdainful look, deciding to handle it upon returning from Sichuan.
Arriving in the southwestern metropolis, the capital of Sichuan province, Ye Chongsheng was quite enthusiastic. His alma mater was a prestigious university in the west, so Jin Qi was reluctant to interfere with the recruitment process. Ye Chongsheng handled everything—presenting, collecting resumes, conducting written tests, interviewing, issuing offers, and signing contracts—all meticulously organized.
"Hmm, he's quite capable. These prestigious schools have such a heavy workload, yet he remains organized and efficient. He's a rare and excellent assistant; I must help him!"
Jin Qi thought.
Jin Qi initially assumed Ye Chongsheng's resentment was related to his alma mater, but after using the "Eight-Sided Auspicious Mirror" to search the entire school, he couldn't find a trace of ghostly energy.
He suddenly realized that many disciples from Emei and Qingcheng sects in Sichuan, as well as Buddhist and Taoist sects, must have studied at this prestigious school, which naturally ensured it was thoroughly cleaned!
That night, disappointed, he couldn't sleep for a long time, while Ye Chongsheng, exhausted from the day, had already fallen asleep.
Suddenly, the moonlight outside dimmed, and Jin Qi was overjoyed. This resentment had finally come for revenge!
He had brought Ye Chongsheng along to lure out the resentment! He was using him as a bait, a bait-and-switch!
He got up and looked outside. In the distance, a purplish-black resentment was coming from the east, heading straight for his and Ye Chongsheng's room.
It seems the vengeful ghost haunting Ye Chongsheng is indeed in Sichuan, but not in this prestigious school; it's somewhere else! This resentment is ten times stronger than the resentment in Shenzhen.
Jin Qi nodded and slowly chanted, "Severe illnesses can heal themselves, worldly troubles can be alleviated." He
then pressed Ye Chongsheng's acupoint to put him to sleep for several hours. He then used the "Eight-Sided Ruyi Xuanyuan Mirror," which emitted three-colored divine light from all eight sides, to cover the room, knowing that
no matter how much the resentment attacked, it couldn't get in. He then rushed towards the direction of the resentment.
Ten miles away was the east side of the city. Chu Jiu easily found the source of the resentment. Jin Qi looked at the entrance and saw that it was another high school: Sichuan Confucian Academy.
He leaped over the wall and entered the campus. The resentment came from a dormitory building in front. The building was only half full, a dilapidated ruin, resembling a fire from several years ago.
Jin Qi vaguely sensed a resentful aura, one heading west towards where he had just stayed; the other heading east. Where was that? Jin Qi was puzzled and extremely confused.
Suddenly, Jin Qi heard footsteps approaching. He quickly hid behind the trees and remained motionless. He then heard someone whisper, "Senior brother, look, tonight this resentful aura is suddenly ten times stronger!"
It was a woman's voice.
A man replied, "That's strange. According to my uncle, this resentful spirit usually goes to Shenzhen to take its own form and seek revenge, and to the ash-gathering place in the countryside to vent its anger. But today it went to that prestigious school. Why?"
"Could it be that the person who harmed him is at that school today?"
the woman, clearly ten times more intelligent, guessed.
The man grunted and said, "Let's go, let's go to that school and see!"
The woman said, "Senior brother, you mustn't! Master said we mustn't act rashly!"
"We are disciples of Qingcheng and Emei, what are we afraid of?"
the man said urgently.
The woman smiled and said, "Senior brother, don't worry. Master said someone will come to resolve this. It seems to be related to the legendary Xuanhuang Fanyin Reincarnation Temple. We're naturally not afraid, but we must also follow the will of Heaven!"
The man remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "Junior sister, in 2001, a great fire burned down this building, and this person became a ghost. Fortunately, he wasn't too conspicuous!"
"No, that's because his resentment wasn't strong enough. Master said that once he becomes a vengeful ghost and finds his killer, he'll be ten times more powerful, causing havoc in the human world, which would be troublesome!"
The two of them whispered a few more words before leaving.
Jin Qi was even more confused. What did this ghost building have to do with Ye Chongsheng? Two different universities—could it be that Ye Chongsheng had attended both, making him two years older than his classmates?
He couldn't figure it out, and remained silent after leaving.
Chapter 1011 Following the Clues, Hidden Dangers
After several busy and intense days of campus recruitment at the three prestigious universities, Jin Qi and Ye Chongsheng rushed to the airport. Their flight back to Shenzhen was an hour away. They had signed many talented individuals from these top universities, and both were very happy, especially Ye Chongsheng, who secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had expected some unexpected events upon returning to Sichuan, but everything had gone quite smoothly.
Of course, he didn't know that it was Jin Qi who had blocked the vengeful spirit's pursuit!
The two had just found seats in the waiting room when Jin Qi suddenly felt a pair of eyes watching him from not far behind. He glanced at them and saw a man in his mid-twenties. The man looked nervous and stared intently at Ye Chongsheng. Although it was November in Sichuan, he was drenched in sweat.
Jin Qi found this strange and deliberately got up to go to the restroom. He intentionally gave the two of them an opportunity!
Sure enough, as soon as he entered the restroom, the man quickly walked up to Ye Chongsheng and stammered in Sichuan dialect, "Are you... are you Long Gaisheng?"
Although they were far apart, Jin Qi's Taoist cultivation was extraordinary, and his senses were incredibly sharp. He heard clearly that Ye Chongsheng simply replied in Mandarin, "Long Gaisheng is dead! I don't know him, and he's not him!"
The man cried out, "Wow!" and stopped talking. He recognized that voice; it was etched into his memory, even though it was spoken in Mandarin!
His expression grew increasingly tense, and he quickly ran towards the interior of the waiting hall. If Jin Qi could miss this opportunity, he would wait a moment, until he reached a corner out of Ye Chongsheng's sight. He quickly approached the man, out of Ye Chongsheng's sight.
His gaze slowed, and he used a calming technique to ask, "My name is Jin Qi, and I'm his colleague! Excuse me, do you know my colleague?"
Sweat still beaded on the man's face as he stammered, "I don't know him, I don't know him, he is... he isn't..."
He was already incoherent.
Jin Qi silently recited a calming mantra to soothe him, then pulled him to a seat in another waiting room.
The man, still catching his breath, said, "My name is Chen Fan. I have a classmate named Long Gaisheng who looks exactly like your colleague!"
Jin Qi's heart skipped a beat, but he said, "My colleague is definitely not the Long Gaisheng you know; however, did you graduate from Sichuan Economic School?"
Chen Fan was surprised and asked, "How did you know?"
Jin Qi smiled, a chill running through him, and instead of answering, asked, "What happened to your classmate Long Gaisheng?"
Upon hearing this, tears welled up in Chen Fan's eyes, and he said, "He was my best friend, but I didn't help him. I'm not human!"
Jin Qi quickly comforted him, "It's alright, just tell me!"
Chen Fan slowly recalled, "Gaisheng was the youngest student in our university class. We were six people sharing a dormitory. He was smart, cheerful, and the most popular student in our class!"
"Isn't that good? What happened next?"
Jin Qi asked, confused.
“But we have a guy in our dorm named Zhang Huyong, who’s the son of an official in the city. He has three or four cronies who always bully him, and we don’t dare to help him!”
Chen Fan was agitated, tears streaming down his face. “In winter, Zhang Huyong made him wash his clothes with cold water… He beat him once when he saw he got first place in an exam; he beat him again when he saw he passed the CET-4 (College English
Test Band 4) on his first try in his sophomore year; he also beat him up when he saw our class beauty talk to him!” Jin Qi, usually so civilized, was also furious. “That beast, he’s not human!”
Chen Fan continued, “I defended him a few times before, and Zhang Huyong almost hit me too, so I didn’t dare. For the next year or so, he lived under Zhang Huyong’s torment!”
“And then what? How come college is only a little over a year?”
Jin Qi asked hastily.
Chen Fan buried his face between his legs, trembling and sobbing uncontrollably, saying, "It's only been a little over a year. Because a little over a year ago, before our second year was over, a fire suddenly broke out in our dormitory building. It was Zhang Huyong who set it!"
Jin Qi, recalling that building, also trembled and asked, "Zhang Huyong set the fire, is that the haunted building of your Sichuan Economics School? Where is he now?"
Chen Fan gritted his teeth and said, "That beast! After setting the fire, I don't know where he hid. Most likely, his family is powerful, so he's hiding!"
He changed the subject, saying, "But, it's pitiful for us students!"
Jin Qi, surprisingly frightened, quickly asked: "What happened to that student? Where is he?"
Chen Fan cried, "It's all our fault. That day, Zhang Huyong told us all to go to study hall, but he and that student were alone in the room. When we went back, the dormitory building was a sea of fire!"
He choked up and couldn't continue. After a long pause, he said, "Finally, the firefighters arrived and put out the fire. Our poor student was trapped in his own bed and burned to death. His whole body was charred black, except for his right shoe, which he always wore. Strangely, the shoe was wet inside!"
Jin Qi gasped, feeling a chill run down his spine.
Chen Fan continued, "Although the gatekeepers didn't recognize Zhang Huyong, they all saw him leave the school wearing his expensive yellow fur coat!"
His eyes were red as he said, "That was around Qingming Festival in 2001! Next year, it will be six years! We dare not live in that dormitory building anymore; we've heard it's haunted and eerie these past few years!"
Jin Qi comforted him for a while, then said, "Chen Fan, that student will forgive you; however, my colleague is definitely not that student, you have to believe that! Where is Zhang Huyong now?" "
Zhang Huyong?"
Chen Fan said angrily again, "That scumbag, with a big family and wealth, maybe one of his relatives hid him! We are ordinary people, how can we find him?"
"Don't worry too much, it happened six years ago, forget about it!"
Jin Qi said, deeply suspicious but still trying to persuade him.
"It's strange, but the mayor's wife comes to our school every day asking for her son, Zhang Huyong, with tears streaming down her face. It doesn't seem fake at all, it's really strange!"
Chen Fan let slip, not realizing it. After saying this, he just lowered his head blankly. Suddenly, the lobby announced that his flight was boarding. He quickly wiped away his tears, got up, and left!
After all, this society is realistic; work and money are the most important!
Jin Qi walked around for a while before returning to the lobby from the restroom. He smiled at Ye Chongsheng and said, "The food I ate last night wasn't clean, and my stomach is a bit upset today. I was in the restroom for a long time!"
Ye Chongsheng smiled back without saying anything. They then went back to Shenzhen.
But Jin Qi glanced at Ye Chongsheng and noticed that his hands were wet, as if he had been to the restroom. Could it be that he had gone to look for him earlier?
Chapter 1012 Protective Techniques, Defense First With
the Spring Festival approaching, Liu Yijing invited Ye Chongsheng to her home, but Ye Chongsheng politely declined. Jin Qi asked him why, but he only smiled and didn't answer.
She liked him, but he didn't like her! Or was he afraid to like her?
With the annual leave combined with the Spring Festival, Jin Qi and Bingbing had spent three weeks resting at Bingbing's hometown, which was incredibly pleasant. Finally, upon returning to work, Jin Qi and Bingbing were distributing local specialties from her hometown
when Liu Yijing rushed over to the back seat to find Jin Qi, saying, "Jin Ke, it's terrible! Chongsheng has been seriously ill these past few days. He's talking nonsense in bed and can't sleep. When he does fall asleep, he just keeps yelling 'Don't hit me! Don't kill me!'"
She always called him "Seventh Young Master," so calling him "Jin Ke" clearly indicated a serious matter!
Jin Qi was startled. He had completely forgotten about Ye Chongsheng's rebirth during the Spring Festival. He hurriedly went to Ye Chongsheng's room with Liu Yijing and Xiao Wu. The "Dividing Light Ring" on the balcony had long since lost its light, filled only with yin energy. The "Shadow-Bearing Ring" in the air inside the room was also gray and eroded by resentment. He quickly chanted the incantation and accepted the treasure "Dividing Light and Bearing Shadow, Linked Double Rings." He had to go back and refine it again to make it shine again.
A gust of yin wind came from the balcony, and the "Three-Foot Bell That Creates Waves Without Wind" rang loudly. Jin Qi exclaimed, "Not good!"
He quickly offered the "Three-Foot Bell That Creates Waves Without Wind" into the air, gathering the faint energy of heaven and earth to resist the resentment. Within the resentment was the incarnation of the vengeful ghost, whose true form was in Shu!
Fortunately, the Big Dipper Coin Formation was still there; otherwise, this vengeful ghost, which had already taken form, would have already taken Ye Chongsheng's life during the Spring Festival. The small peach wood sword had already broken in two and fallen to the ground. The "Spiritual Wood of Conversion" on Ye Chongsheng's chest was also shattered. Fortunately, there were some talismans from a famous temple in Shenzhen on the bed, obviously obtained during the Spring Festival.
Ye Chongsheng indeed curled up on the bed, closed his eyes, and kept saying, "Don't hit me, don't... don't kill me... I'll never..."
Even in his daze, his tears soaked his pillow.
"Don't be afraid!"
Liu Yijing said with tears in her eyes, "Chongsheng, Seventh Young Master is here!"
Jin Qi told them all to leave, and he recited aloud, "Traveling through the Five Sacred Mountains, known throughout the Eight Seas.
The Demon King surrenders, guarding my pavilion.
Evil and filth dissipate, Dao Qi remains forever.
Hasten as the law commands."
This was the supreme Sanskrit chant "Sanskrit Exorcism Mantra, Demon Mantra Heart Sutra" from the Xuanhuang Sanskrit Reincarnation Temple. After a while, Ye Chongsheng finally calmed down. Jin Qi wiped the sweat from his forehead, opened the door, and let Liu Yijing and Xiao Wu in.
Liu Yijing asked anxiously, "Jin Ke, should we let Chong Sheng come to my room? Something's wrong with this room!"
Jin Qi sighed, "Alas! It's no use. This vengeful ghost's clone has already taken shape; it can probably move around freely. No matter where Chong Sheng is, it can find him!"
After speaking with Bingbing on the phone, he decided to settle Ye Chong Sheng in his own home.
The "Three-Foot Bell That Rises Without Wind" finally fell silent, plummeting straight down. Jin Qi quickly caught it, helping Ye Chong Sheng away. The resentment was also significantly diminished, receding one by one.
For the past two weeks, the vengeful ghost's clone had been hovering around the company, but only Jin Qi could see... a mass of charred black smoke, occasionally tinged with fire and smoke—the very signs of someone burned to death.
Could it be the ghost of the scholar who died in the fire in Shu? But was it Long Gaisheng who was burned to death?
Jin Qi smiled bitterly. Now, he could only use the "Eight-Sided Ruyi Xuanyuan Mirror" to shield the house, and the "Brahma Chant Exorcism Mantra, Demon Mantra Heart Sutra" to protect it. Meanwhile, the "Splitting Light and Receiving Shadow, Linked Double Rings" and "Three-Foot Bell That Creates Waves Without Wind" were all being reforged.
He entrusted all his personnel work to Liu Yijing and Xiao Wu, focusing solely on exorcising the demon for Ye Chongsheng. After a month of care, Ye Chongsheng recovered and regained consciousness.
That night, Bingbing said to Jin Qi, "Heavens, congratulations! Has Ye Chongsheng overcome this hurdle?"
Jin Qi shook his head and replied, "No! That vengeful ghost can already transform into human form, but his body is still ashes, and his primordial spirit is still in Shu. Once he can move, I'm afraid I won't be able to subdue him!"
Liu Yijing hurriedly said, "Jin Ke, you must save Chongsheng!"
Jin Qi sighed and said, "That's all we can do! We can't just defend anymore! Next week is Qingming Festival, with human offerings and sacrifices, which will help circulate the vengeful ghost's vital energy." Day, when resentment is at its lowest! It seems that I need to go to Shuzhong again to solve the problem once and for all by uprooting it.
Liu Yijing asked again: "Jinke, who is this evil ghost?" Why are you so entangled with rebirth?
Jin Qi thought about it and already had doubts in his heart, but he sighed and said: "I can't confirm it. You should have a chance to ask about rebirth yourself in the future!"
Bingbing had tears in her eyes, but she whispered: "You, be careful!"
Jin Qi nodded: "For you, I will definitely come back!" "
Chapter 1013 The truth is revealed, who kills whom?
In the next week, Jin Qi prepared for a whole week. He searched the Internet for news words such as "Dragon deserves to be born, burned, and died." He saw that the Internet was full of notices for the wanted murderer Zhang Huyong. There were also detailed reports that an outstanding male student in the university, Long Gai, was tortured by his evil classmates during his lifetime, and was later set on fire by his classmates.
"Zhang Huyong! "
Jin Qi stared at the wanted photo on the Internet for a long time. He looked familiar, and then he spat out these three words!
He also found the address of the victim, Long Gaisheng, online: Beishan County, Sichuan! He then packed the luggage Bingbing had prepared for him, took his magical artifacts, and reluctantly bid farewell to everyone, including the lying Ye Chongsheng, before heading to Sichuan again.
Unfortunately, during those days, the chickens and dogs around the company suffered terribly, disappearing one after another at night. Finally, the vengeful ghost even went to catch chickens and drink their blood during the day—truly, the more sunlight, the more death!
However, this vengeful ghost, apart from Ye Chongsheng, didn't harm anyone else for the time being!
On April 3rd, 2007, on the eve of Qingming Festival, Jin Qi finally arrived in Beishan County, Sichuan, the hometown of Long Gaisheng reported in the news.
After several transfers, he arrived at Long Gaisheng's home. However, along the way, he discovered that Beishan County was next to Nanshan County, and Ye Chongsheng's high school alma mater was Nanshan Middle School. Could it be that he really was repeating a grade?
He asked for directions all the way and finally arrived at Long Gaisheng Village. As soon as he entered the village, he heard someone calling from afar, "Brother Gentu, another of Gaisheng's classmates has come to visit you!"
Long Gentu was Gaisheng's father's name.
Jin Qi arrived at Gaisheng's house and said that he was Gaisheng's classmate and had been asked by his classmate to visit Uncle Long and Aunt Long on their behalf. He also stuffed a large pile of gifts and 6,000 yuan in cash into Aunt Long's hands.
Aunt Long's eyes were filled with tears as she said, "Gaisheng's roommates, Chen Fan and the others, usually come to visit us before the Spring Festival, but this time you came again during Qingming Festival. We are truly grateful. Gaisheng is so lucky to have classmates like you!" That
evening, Jin Qi talked with Aunt Long, who recalled, "In the first ten years after I married into the Long family, I only gave birth to Gaisheng's two older sisters. In the rural areas of Sichuan, if you don't have a son, you don't even have the right to raise your voice when you argue. I had almost given up hope!"
She wiped away her tears while holding her six-year-old grandson, who was eating the figs that Jin Qi had brought.
“When the family planning policy came, my husband had no choice but to have a tubal ligation. Who knew that two months after the ligation, my belly would grow again, and when I went for a checkup, I was four months pregnant!”
She smiled happily, seemingly immersed in the time when she was pregnant with Gaisheng!
“When he was born, it turned out to be a boy. His father was so happy that he thought that having a boy after tubal ligation meant that God should have given birth to him, so he named him Gaisheng!”
After saying this, Aunt Long remembered that her son was no longer with her. She hugged her grandson, and tears streamed down her face.
A moment of silence fell over everyone. Long Gentu, puffing on his pipe, hadn't spoken until suddenly pulling Jin Qi aside. "Jin Qi," he said, "there's something I don't know if I should tell you."
Jin Qi was taken aback. "Uncle Long, what is it?" he asked.
Long Gentu pulled Jin Qi out of the house, and only after they were a distance away did he say, "These past few years, because Chen Fan and his group have always come in large numbers, it's been inconvenient for me to ask. So, seeing that you're... a person, and an honest one, I'm asking!"
Jin Qi gave a wry smile. Bingbing always said he wasn't an honest person, but he said softly, "Uncle Long, this student and I were best friends in college. Please tell me." Long Gentu looked around again and whispered, "Back then, when this student went to university in the provincial capital, I opened a bank account for him to send tuition fees. Later, the child had an accident, and my account..." "I have no intention of throwing it away."
Jin Qi said with a smile, "Uncle Long, there's nothing strange about that."
Long Gentu continued, "The strange thing is what happened next! Who knew that three years ago, when I went to cancel the card, the staff said that the card was still valid. From 2003 to 2005, 1,000 yuan was deposited into it every quarter; after 2006, 1,000 yuan was deposited into it every month. I initially thought someone had made a mistake, so I asked the bank staff to check, and they said there was absolutely no mistake. The money was deposited from different banks in different places. I don't know what happened!"
Jin Qi suddenly understood. He finally realized why Ye Chongsheng would always go to another city one weekend every month, ostensibly for tourism. So that's how it was. He could send money without revealing himself, which confirmed his suspicions.
However, Jin Qi said, "Uncle Long, dozens of classmates in our class were all close to this student. This money is from all over the country, a token of our filial piety towards you and Aunt Long! Even though this student is gone, we are still your sons and daughters!"
Jin Qi wasn't lying; his eyes reddened, and tears streamed down his face.
He wasn't intentionally deceiving him, but if he didn't lie, Long Gentu probably wouldn't dare use the money for the rest of his life.
Sure enough, Long Gentu said, "That puts my mind at ease. I haven't mentioned this to the student's mother for years! Now I can say it!"
He seemed disappointed again, saying softly, "In my heart, I always thought this money was sent by my son, this student. It's strange, but I've never truly felt that he's dead!"
Jin Qi was startled. Usually, a mother and son are of one heart; could a father and son be of one heart too?
But he said, "Uncle Long, it's a fact that this student is dead, and we are very sad, but we will definitely be as filial to you as he was!"
The two exchanged a few more words and then went back.
Chapter 1014 Tomb Sweeping Day, Mystery Unveiled
On the third day, Qingming Festival, Aunt Long took Jin Qi to pay respects at Gaisheng's grave.
"The rain falls in torrents on Qingming Festival, and travelers on the road are heartbroken. This is truly true!"
Jin Qi smiled bitterly, shaking his head, seemingly talking to himself.
He was looking at the tombstone opposite him, on which the numbers were clearly engraved: "Tomb of Beloved Son Long Gaisheng." In front of the tombstone were offerings of fruit and vegetables, along with a pair of red candles and nine sticks of incense. The date of erection was also clearly engraved on the tombstone: "April 5th, 2001 AD." "Isn't that Qingming Festival six years ago?"
Jin Qi smiled bitterly, thinking to himself, "Cold Food Festival, abstaining from fire, tomb sweeping, spring outing—today should be somewhat relaxing, but why do I feel so depressed? It truly lives up to its name as a time of impending doom!"
He hadn't brought an umbrella, letting the light April rain of northern Sichuan fall gently. His hair was a little wet, and his vision was slowly blurring, but he didn't care.
Beside him was only a rural woman, about fifty years old. She wiped her already tearful eyes, her nose tingling, and choked out, "Gaisheng, your classmate has come to see you. It's been seven years!"
She wanted to say something more, but her throat tightened, and she
couldn't utter another word. Jin Qi nodded but remained silent. He had lied to the woman who had brought him to Long Gaisheng's tombstone. He had brought a large pile of gifts and several thousand yuan in cash to Long's parents, claiming it was collected by Long Gaisheng's classmates.
However, he wasn't Long Gaisheng's classmate; in truth, they should have been strangers. Jin Qi had come for a reason.
He had endured being separated from his girlfriend, Ximen Bingbing, for half a month to come to this grave to pay his respects and investigate—clearly, it was something very important!
What Jin Qi noticed now was a man sitting sideways on the mound of earth behind the tombstone, facing him. The man sat quietly on the grave, wearing a down jacket in the April weather, his face pale in profile.
Jin Qi steadied himself, trying his best to conceal the chill in his heart. The grave was surrounded by a swirling aura of resentment, with wisps rising from the man's grave into the dark sky. Jin Qi had noticed this from afar earlier, and it had sent a chill down his spine then—his prediction had been correct!
This man, however, was invisible to Aunt Long.
"Hmph, it's resentment transformed into a spirit, the aura of a vengeful ghost!"
The man slowly turned his head, and Jin Qi turned away, saying, "Auntie, let's go back. When we have time, his classmates and I will come to see him again."
Aunt Long sobbed as she put the offerings back in her basket, and she and Jin Qi slowly turned back. Throughout, Jin Qi didn't turn around, because he knew from the corner of his eye that the man sitting forlornly on the mound of earth had already turned his head, looking at him with intense resentment.
If Jin Qi hadn't looked away, he would have been even more astonished. The half of the man's face that had been turned to Jin Qi's side was smooth, while the other half was charred like wood, blackened as if burned!
Jin Qi didn't need to look to know that the man's eyes were filled with hatred and resentment. What kind of expression was that? Unresolved death?
However, he thought to himself, "Since this matter hides a great... secret, I must investigate it thoroughly! It won't be in vain for the pain of separation from Ximen Bingbing!" Alas, although it was injustice, the resentment was even stronger; injustice and resentment were equally heavy!
Jin Qi was destined to be caught in another bizarre and suspenseful investigation, shrouded in invisible temptation!
For a handsome man like Jin Qi, no opportunity to challenge himself with suspense would pass by! Challenges meant exploration! Challenges also allowed him to level up – why not?
For some reason, Jin Qi thought of his girlfriend Bingbing's exquisitely beautiful face: "Bingbing, I don't know if I'll be able to come back to see you alive after this night! For you, I must return safely!"
Love gave him motivation!
He firmly believed that even the most difficult things couldn't defeat him!
However, he was also somewhat afraid. He finally saw the vengeful ghost on the grave – it was exactly the same as the photo of Zhang Huyong from the internet and newspapers!
In that instant, Jin Qi finally understood everything!
Who burned whom to death?
On the way back to the Long family, Jin Qi suddenly remembered and asked, "Aunt Long, excuse me, what's your surname?"
Aunt Long, heartbroken, casually replied, "My surname is Ye!"
Jin Qi's eyes lit up; even his last remaining question was answered.
Long Gaisheng is dead, and the reborn person, following his mother's surname, naturally takes the surname Ye—truly Ye Chongsheng!
Behind the name Ye Chongsheng lies such a poignant and desperate story!
Chapter 1015 Slaying the Evil Ghost, Settling Grudges
That night, Jin Qi didn't sleep, but quietly meditated on his bed. He knew that what was coming would definitely come!
Sure enough, after everyone in the mountain village turned off their lights, a chilling wind rose. Jin Qi wasn't afraid and cast a calming spell on the entire village: "See no evil, hear no evil. Encompass heaven and earth, nurture all living beings."
He didn't want this fight to wake the villagers and cause them panic!
After a moment of silence, he stood tall and walked outside, shouting loudly, "Zhang Huyong, the vengeful ghost, come out!"
"Haha!"
A chilling wind swept through, and the vengeful ghost Zhang Huyong appeared, half his face white, half charred black, and said viciously, "Long Gaisheng killed me, so I'm going to hunt him down and take his life. What business is it of yours! Why have you ruined my plans time and time again?"
Jin Qi shouted, "If Gaisheng truly deserved to die, why would I need you to take his life? I would naturally send him to the police station, a life for a life! But you are a beast, ruthless and cruel! I congratulate Gaisheng on killing you!"
The vengeful ghost Zhang Huyong's face was contorted with rage as he said painfully, "I was first in my class in high school! In college, Gaisheng stole my first place; I was rich in high school, and everyone doted on me, but Gaisheng, that poor boy, disdained money; in college..." "All the girls in the class surrounded me, but the most beautiful girl in the university went to talk to Long Gaisheng. How could I not beat him up!"
Jin Qi laughed loudly, "Your perversion is truly deserving of everyone's wrath! In the end, you died because of Gaisheng's plan, you were even more stupid than a pig, you deserve to die!"
The vengeful ghost Zhang Huyong vented his resentment, and dark clouds gathered in the sky as he said, "However, I only beat him up, I never intended to kill him, but he killed me when I wasn't paying attention! He even deliberately created a false impression, making everyone think that I killed him! Fine, today I'll capture you and take your cultivation! My primordial spirit can leave my body, and I will no longer be trapped in this mountain village! I'll also have my resentful ghost clone kill Long Gaisheng in Shenzhen to avenge me! Then I'll be completely free!"
"Hmph, I spit on you, keep dreaming!"
Jin Qi secretly went on the defensive!
The vengeful ghost Zhang Huyong roared, and a fierce ghostly aura rushed over!
Jin Qi was also somewhat frightened. This vengeful ghost, even though it was Qingming Festival and there was human activity, was still so powerful. However, he thought about how important this battle was! How could he back down even a little?
With this thought in mind, Jin Qi first raised his hand, chanting a mantra. The surrounding air transformed into a five-element sphere to protect him. Then, he soared into the air, using the power of the wind to rise straight up, continuously chanting the incantation: "All gods pay homage, command thunder and lightning.
Ghosts and demons lose their courage, spirits and monsters forget their forms.
Within lies thunder and lightning, the Thunder God conceals his name.
Penetrating wisdom and insight, the five energies surge!"
At the same time, he summoned two magical artifacts, "Dividing Light and Receiving Shadow, Linked Double Rings" and "Three-Foot Bell That Creates Waves Without Wind," and threw them towards the vengeful ghost Zhang Huyong.
Unexpectedly, the vengeful ghost Zhang Huyong grabbed "Splitting Light" with his left hand and "Shadow Bearer" with his right, kicking away "Three-Foot Bell That Creates Waves Without Wind" with two consecutive kicks, laughing, "Your meager skills can't harm me!"
Jin Qi was struck by his fierce attack, his "Five-Colored Divine Travel Shield" shattered, and he flew far away!
He was seriously injured by the vengeful ghost Zhang Huyong's Yin energy, his mind almost disoriented, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. It took him a long time to barely stand up.
The vengeful ghost Zhang
Huyong approached step by step, laughing loudly, "Give me your life!"
Jin Qi remained silent, his hands clasped together, bowing three times towards the Kunlun Mountains in the west, the dragon vein of Shu Mountain. When he rose again, a sword suddenly appeared in his hand. That sword drew upon the Qi of heaven and earth, transforming it into the power of thunder, understanding the creation of Yin and Yang, sensing heaven and earth, moving ghosts and gods, breathing in wind, clouds, thunder, and rain, reaching everywhere, creating life, allowing those who know it to live, and those who are ignorant to die!
The vengeful ghost Zhang Huyong was stunned. He could faintly hear rumbling thunder from the depths of the dark clouds, almost right beside him, booming and exploding.
In an instant, it seemed as if the world had turned upside down, and the heavens and earth shook!
Seven bolts of divine thunder from the heavens, as if from ancient times, shot out from the sky, piercing the boundary between heaven and earth, coming in a chain!
The vengeful ghost Zhang Huyong exclaimed in shock: "Heavens... the legendary phoenix blood essence from ten thousand years ago, the exquisite divine sword... the Five Thunder Orthodox Method of Heaven and Earth... So you are actually the only successor of the Xuanhuang Brahma Sound Reincarnation Temple..."
This "Five Thunder Orthodox Method" was the nemesis of vengeful ghosts. The vengeful ghost Zhang Huyong had no time to dodge and was struck by the heavenly thunder, his soul instantly scattered, never to be reborn!
Jin Qi, having used all his strength, also fainted!
Chapter 1016 The World Doesn't Understand,
A Week Later, Jin Qi returned to Shenzhen. Bingbing picked him up at the airport. Upon meeting, the two didn't say a word, but simply embraced tightly, so passionately.
Liu Yijing and Xiao Wu also came to pick him up at the airport, which was quite rare.
Liu Yijing's eyes were red as she said, "Jin Ke, last week, Ye Chongsheng resigned. After the night of Qingming Festival, all his illnesses disappeared, and he became lucid. He left, and no one knows where he went! And there have been no more strange occurrences near the company; everything is peaceful and normal again."
Xiao Wu stepped forward and handed Jin Qi a letter, saying, "Seventh Young Master, this is a letter from Ye Chongsheng to you."
Jin Qi quickly took it, opened it, and strangely, there wasn't a single word inside—just three blank sheets of paper.
Xiao Wu asked curiously, "What's going on?"
Jin Qi laughed, "Isn't it enough for Ye Chongsheng to write three pages?"
Liu Yijing asked, "But he didn't write anything!"
Jin Qi nodded and said, "Yes, I know, he didn't write anything! But I understand everything on these three blank pages!"
Jin Qi naturally understood. Ye Chongsheng no longer wanted to mention how he was bullied and beaten by Zhang Huyong back then. Later, when he could no longer bear it, he plotted to kill Zhang Huyong, escaped, and went to Nanshan Middle School in Nanshan County, a county near his hometown, to study for a year. In 2002, he entered a key university and graduated in 2006. Therefore, he was two years older than his classmates, so the phone number left at his home was the Nanshan Middle School's reception office number.
He didn't say a word, but for years he had silently sent money to his parents and tried various methods to deal with Zhang Huyong's vengeful ghost, all to no avail. His gratitude to Jin Qi, Bingbing, Liu Yijing, and Xiao Wu was also written in his heart, needing no explanation.
However, Jin Qi thought, this Ye Chongsheng was truly clever. He killed Zhang Huyong when he wasn't looking, tied him to his own bed, and burned him alive. To avoid suspicion, he soaked all his most frequently worn shoes and gave them to Zhang Huyong, so others would think that the person who died in his bed wearing his shoes was him. Meanwhile, Ye Chongsheng wore Zhang Huyong's most stylish clothes and swaggered out of school, further confirming that Zhang Huyong had burned Long Gaisheng to death and fled!
Everyone was after Zhang Huyong; who knew he had already become a vengeful ghost?
Everyone pitied Long Gaisheng; who knew he was living a prosperous life? He was repeating his studies at nearby Nanshan Middle School and going on to university?
Who says a sunny young man can't kill?
The more sunny, the more likely he is to die!
He thought again, and Ye Chongsheng really had perseverance. After what happened during the Qingming Festival in 2001, he returned to high school in a neighboring county to repeat his senior year in September, passed the entrance exam for a key university in 2002, graduated in 2006, and now, on Qingming Festival in 2007, a full six years have passed. He's truly remarkable!
Jin Qi smiled slightly at this thought. Bingbing, who was driving, asked, "Jin Qi, what are you laughing at? We don't know where Ye Chongsheng will be in the future."
Jin Qi replied, "We don't need to know."
Bingbing, Liu Yijing, and Xiao Wu asked in unison, "Why?"
"Because you will never understand Ye Chongsheng's world, nor do you need to understand it."
Jin Qi hummed a cheerful whistle.
Clearly, after Ye Chongsheng left, he would go to a new city, a new place, to begin another new chapter.
Chapter 1017, Explanation and Q&A
Got it? Hehe~ At the airport, Jin Qi and Chen Fan were talking. Ye Chongsheng went to the restroom and didn't see Jin Qi, so he went to look for him. Naturally, he saw and heard Chen Fan talking to Jin Qi about the reason~ Jin Qi also knew, but he held back~ Can Ye Chongsheng be considered a bad person?
Some people say that Tingyu borrowed from a real event, which is true, the inspiration came from that event.
Chapter 3001 of Defying Heaven and Destroying the World: Bloodshed and Destruction, Buddha and Tao Discussing On the lonely cliff, Buddha, Laozi, and Yuanshi Tianzun were urgently discussing something.
In the Three Realms, it's hard to imagine what could possibly make Buddha, Buddha, and the founders of the Three Pure Ones sects, Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun, gather together with solemn expressions!
"Defying Heaven and Destroying the World?"
Buddha, with eyes as bright as stars, sat on the nine-grade lotus platform, exuding an immortal aura. He was originally calm and composed, but now he exclaimed in surprise.
The Supreme Lord Laozi, with his white hair and youthful face, kind and benevolent eyes, dressed in a neat and solemn Taoist robe, exuding the aura of an immortal and primordial golden immortal, was shocked but pretended not to look up, saying, "That's right! It's the Heaven-Defying World-Destroying Tribulation. The Heaven-Defying World-Destroying Tribulation has already appeared in the mortal realm, but we don't know its exact location!"
The Primordial Heavenly Venerable, with white hair and a silver beard, possessed a refined and elegant appearance, his forehead shining like the rising sun. Also dressed in a black Taoist robe, he was originally extremely dignified, but now he paced back and forth, clearly worried, sighing, "Sect Leader, Senior Brother, Buddha, I've heard that if a demon has planted the Heaven-Defying World-Destroying Tribulation in the Seven Deadly Lands, devouring the essence of ten thousand people, and absorbing the essence of pure Yang and pure Yin... then the demonic power will soar to the heavens, causing widespread suffering..."
None of the three spoke of the fact that once the Heaven-Defying World-Destroying Tribulation was completed, not only in the mortal realm, but this demon would also have enough demonic power to defeat the Three Pure Ones, crush Western Buddhism, and unify the Three Realms!
As for the puppet-like Jade Emperor, although nominally the emperor of the Three Realms jointly chosen by Buddha, Tao, and Gods, he clearly held little weight in the eyes of Buddha, Laozi, and Yuanshi Tianzun. Yuanshi Tianzun didn't even bother to invite the Jade Emperor to this meeting concerning the survival of the Three Realms! If this demon had relied on its heaven-defying and world-destroying power to seize the Heavenly Court, they wouldn't have cared much!
However, they feared this demon held a grudge against them. If the demon succeeded and attacked their Western Paradise, the Eight Trigrams Palace, and the Jade Void Palace, it would be an extremely troublesome situation! ...
After three days and three nights of continuous discussion, Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun, and Buddha returned to their mountains, each dispatching their most capable first and second-generation Golden Immortal disciples to descend to the mortal realm to investigate!
(This will not be discussed further here!) —————————————————————————————— Meanwhile, in the mortal realm, whether intentionally or unintentionally, the Qilin Company built its headquarters in the Seven Deadly Sands, a place of extreme despair. Beneath the surface of exorbitant profits, a series of bloody disappearances occurred!
Was it condoning a world-destroying calamity?
Or ignorance?
Or some secret?
All of this will be unraveled by the arrival of Jin Qi, a Taoist cultivator brimming with yang energy!
Who is the pure yin girl?
Who is the one destined by fate?
These two, along with Jin Qi, face a love triangle among white-collar workers in a modern city, clashes in business, and also a great battle to exorcise demons and save the world…
Blood splatters across the land, and in the end, they discover that the demon who initiated the world-destroying calamity is actually…
Chapter 4001: Encountering a Roommate, Both Laughing and Crying. The vengeful spirit of the Tiger Warrior has been exorcised, the yin energy is gone, and Ye Chongsheng has left Shenzhen. Now, the Qilin Company's Yuanshan branch factory is quiet again. The sun shines brightly, but Jin Qi's heart, stirred by the Ye Chongsheng incident, remains burning with a vengeance.
That night, seeing Jin Qi tossing and turning, unable to sleep, Bingbing asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"
Jin Qi laughed, "After working for two years, I thought I was getting old, but I didn't expect that I'd still be so impulsive when it comes to Ye Chongsheng!"
"It's not impulsiveness, it's a chivalrous heart! A naturally kind and compassionate nature, that's what I love most!"
Bingbing stroked Jin Qi's broad chest and murmured.
Then, Bingbing asked again, "Young Master Qi, is this the most satisfying thing you've ever done?" "
Haha!"
Jin Qi smiled, neither confirming nor denying.
No matter how many people asked, and no matter how many years had passed, Jin Qi always tacitly agreed that the most satisfying thing he had ever done was still the following! On
September 9th of that year, Jin Qi, a freshman, finally arrived late to register at D University in Shenyang.
In the morning, his eight roommates all seemed incredibly friendly, but by noon, Jin Qi felt depressed!
Damn it, he had actually encountered an extremely lewd roommate, the lewd fourth one!
Jin Qi slept on the top bunk. As he lay in bed preparing for his midday nap, a strong smell of male hormones suddenly wafted into his nostrils. Being young and vigorous, he naturally recognized this unpleasant odor and was quite surprised. He quickly got up and had a clear view of
his six brothers' beds. Some were playing games, some were chatting, some were listening to MP3s, and others were silently resting—nothing seemed amiss! Therefore, the most suspicious person was the fourth brother, who was sleeping on the lower bunk!
Jin Qi, always decisive and quick to act, jumped off the bed with a swift, agile movement, shirtless. Sure enough, it was that damned, extremely lewd fourth brother!
Through the transparent mosquito net, the fourth brother was shamelessly making piston-like movements with his right hand! Completely naked and without any cover, he muttered to himself as he worked, "Oh, so good...so pleasurable..."
Damn it, he didn't even hear Jin Qi jump off the bed with a "thud"! Jin Qi jumped off the bed without even raising his head, completely absorbed in his own pleasure, oblivious to the feelings of others!
Jin Qi was annoyed. He turned to look at his dorm leader, who was both amused and exasperated. The leader shook his head helplessly and said, "Hey, Lao Qi, forget it, I can't be bothered with him! We told him a few days ago to be mindful of his behavior! But he said that the bed is his private space, and he can do whatever he wants, have fun however he wants. He said if we want to watch, we can watch; if not, we can just pretend we didn't see! He completely ignored our advice. We protest!"
"***! If you want to do it, do it at night! So lewd!"
Jin Qi was indignant and cursed inwardly, "I'll make you look bad!"
But he wasn't a simpleton. He couldn't just rush up and kick Lao Qi a couple of times to extinguish his little scheme. Humph, if he was going to be cured, he would cure this lewd guy severely...
once!
Jin Qi had excellent hearing. As he was thinking, he heard two people laughing and talking softly outside. Haha, his chance had come! These two people were the two counselors of all the dozen or so classes in his mechanical engineering major, a man and a woman.
These two counselors were actually mechanical engineering undergraduates who had just graduated this July, strictly speaking, four years ahead of Jin Qi. Because it's common practice in many universities that outstanding undergraduates who stay on as counselors for two years can be directly admitted to D University's graduate program for free, they volunteered to stay on as counselors! One was responsible for the first eight classes, and the other for the last eight, equivalent to a high school homeroom teacher.
Both were only twenty-two or twenty-three years old. Since the counselor office for their major was at the end of Jin Qi's dormitory floor, they passed by outside!
Jin Qi had already planned to sneak out, but unfortunately, he forgot he was only wearing capri pants and was shirtless!
When the beautiful counselor Zhao Fang saw Jin Qi walking towards her, her heart pounded. This freshman boy must only be seventeen or eighteen! How could he have such well-developed pectoral muscles? Even more embarrassing was the layer of well-defined chest hair, extending from the top of his capri pants all the way to his delicate navel, and then between his chests! Winding and stretching endlessly!
This evokes the hot, masculine secret hidden beneath the capri pants!
These days, guys with sexy chest hair are rare! And especially someone like Jin Qi, with his angular face and deep eyes?
(Chapter 4002, "Too Many Monks, Too Few Porridges, Fame Spreads") When the university advisor Li Ye saw Jin Qi's sexy physique, he cursed inwardly: "A freshman brat, thinking he can run around naked just because he's young and invincible? Can chest muscles eat? A few chest hairs make him so great? Damn it, you're not as fair-skinned as me! Back in my day, I was young too..."
He was annoyed and was about to ask Jin Qi what he wanted, what was wrong? Then he heard Jin Qi quietly lower his voice and say, "Advisor Li, Advisor Zhao, there's a situation in our dorm, please come and take a look!"
The beautiful advisor and the male advisor had no choice but to nod: "Okay! We'll go take a look!"
The two followed Jin Qi and quietly pushed open the door!
As soon as male counselor Li Ye entered the dormitory, he wrinkled his nose. Damn it, this room was filled with an overwhelming masculine aura! Where did this strong smell of male hormones come from? He had lived in an eight-person dormitory at D University for four years and knew this smell all too well. His face darkened; he already guessed that someone was doing it in broad daylight…
“All eight of us are here, and it’s not nighttime. This guy is blatantly lewd!”
Li Ye was annoyed. How could freshmen be so bold?
The lewd fourth student was still lost in his own performance, utterly captivating, when suddenly he heard the beautiful counselor scream, “Ah…”
He snapped out of his daze and saw the beautiful counselor’s pretty back as she fled through the transparent mosquito net, her face covered, while the male counselor’s gaze was murderous. He immediately screamed as well, frantically grabbing his blanket to cover his still erect, saluting, red, veiny genitals!
Male advisor Li Ye finally saw Lao Si, and saw his ugly, filthy genitals. His face turned deathly pale with rage; Lao Si was pursuing the beautiful advisor!
D University already had more boys than girls; and the School of Mechanical Engineering, also known as the "Monk School," had an exceptionally low number of beautiful women—like stars on the night of the 16th of August—absolutely none! Even just considering the girls, the male-to-female ratio was severely imbalanced at 8:1! The direct consequence of this was that the girls were pampered by the boys. The four girls in Jin Qi's class were almost all below average in looks, but they all had the right to change boyfriends more frequently than clothes. They weren't afraid; they had plenty of resources!
In this world, finding a three-legged toad is hard, but finding a three-legged man is everywhere! D University's male resources were as plentiful as counterfeit goods in Shenyang's love market!
Male advisor Li Ye was heartbroken, utterly devastated! Just when he'd finally discovered that the pure and beautiful counselor Zhao Fang didn't have a boyfriend, and he was currently pursuing her with all his might, he never expected that before she even saw his own aroused genitals, she'd first see another man's angry, erect genitals!
This was the first time he'd felt utterly powerless, utterly denied any opportunity!
Male counselor Li Ye's lips trembled, too angry to speak for a moment. Jin Qi quickly said, "Counselor Li, I asked you to come discuss whether I should make up for the military training!"
He finished, feigning innocence, his large, dark eyes wide and innocent. He hurriedly pulled the t-shirt from the upper bunk and put it on.
Li Ye was no longer listening to Jin Qi
's words, only angrily telling Lao Si, "You...you...come to my office in ten minutes!"
He then quickly turned and chased after the beautiful counselor!
Lao Si, with a mournful face, hurriedly got up to find his underwear and put on his clothes!
He glared at Jin Qi, who ignored him. Jin Qi, however, had stopped playing games and started chatting when the two counselors entered. The eldest, second, and third oldest members cursed, "You deserve it! Who told you to be so lewd? So arrogant during the day!"
"Yeah, our dorm is going to be known as the lewd dorm from now on, all because of you!"
The sixth and eighth oldest members rolled up their sleeves, ready to give him a good beating. Freshmen, their tempers flaring!
Jin Qi secretly chuckled, "Damn it, this awful fourth oldest! To deal with such a lewd person, you have to use the most lewd methods!"...
And so, the infamous reputation of the lewd fourth oldest spread throughout the entire Mechanical Engineering Department of D University in a single day!
And the handsome Jin Qi also became famous overnight, including for his thick pectoral muscles and sexy chest hair! ...
However, what frustrated the seven brothers in the dormitory, excluding the fourth brother, the most was that the fourth brother, despite this punishment, showed no physical or psychological trauma whatsoever. For the next four years, he remained incredibly lewd, but he would never dare to be lewd in public again! ...
For four whole years, no one understood the true thoughts of the handsome Jin Qi that day: "That bastard lewd fourth brother, with such a small thing... dares to do that... piston-like movement in front of everyone? Hmph, one day, I'll take off my pants and make that son of a bitch feel ashamed and inferior, and scare that son of a bitch to death with my huge, hot, and firm penis!"
Chapter 4003: First Arrival at Qilin, the Company's Strangeness. Jin Qi had kept this matter silently in his heart, but had never told Bingbing.
Bingbing was fast asleep, but Jin Qi was wide awake. He had a very secret mission at Qilin Company, and memories flooded back, reminding him of why he had come to Qilin Company in the first place.
This thought caused a sharp pain in his heart. He wondered how Xue'er, Wang Zi, and Fen Yu, whom he hadn't mentioned in so long, were doing.
It was him who had hidden it from Bingbing; it was his fault! ...
In the summer of 2004, at the end of June, Jin Qi had just graduated from university! ...
"Damn it, it's so hot! Boss, I want two bottles of water!"
Outside the walls of Qilin Company on the outskirts of Pengcheng, in a small eatery, Jin Qi sat with his mouth wide open, tongue lolling out like a dog, exhaling hot breath. Only then could he breathe quickly and feel a little cooler!
Damn it, it was incredibly hot!
Sometimes, you really have to be like a dog, even learn from dogs, to lie down and pant to escape the heat!
Jin Qi's back was already soaked with sweat, his thin t-shirt clinging to his body, very uncomfortable. The most uncomfortable part, of course, was his thin briefs. Damn it, they were also soaked with sweat, sticking to his private parts, not breathable, very unpleasant!
"Damn it! Brand-name underwear, huh! They're all the same!"
he cursed inwardly, completely ignoring the fact that it was because he was so well-developed: "Forget it, I'll just buy some cheap domestic boxer briefs from now on!"
Only now did he understand that there was some truth to the minority's advocacy of not wearing underwear! Not wearing underwear, so carefree, must feel incredibly comfortable! The legendary story of Jay Chou not wearing underwear for eight years was all over the newspapers and the internet, but whether it was true or not, it was never verified!
Unfortunately, in China, not wearing underwear is discouraged; at least, no one dares to openly advocate it. Those who want to feel comfortable just secretly go without.
"Don't you know that Pengcheng is close to the South China Sea, with sea breezes blowing constantly? Isn't the weather hot at all?"
Jin Qi glared at Fen Yu beside him and asked, his tone quite displeased!
Fen Yu was just an eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy, but he was born and raised in Putuo, Nanhai, and was already used to the climate. He said, "Seventh Young Master, this is late June, almost early July in Shenzhen. How can the weather not be hot?" After
he finished speaking, he laughed and said, "Seventh Young Master, you're not short of money, are you? Wouldn't it be better to take a plane and enjoy the service of pretty flight attendants? And look at those beautiful flight attendants, such tempting uniforms, you didn't want any of them? But you insisted on flying to Shenzhen on your own sword. With the sun blazing down, it would be strange if you weren't hot. Luckily, you didn't die of heat!"
Jin Qi smiled bitterly. He had never been to Nanhai before. He originally wanted to avoid flying and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the sea and sky and the drifting white clouds from the sky by flying on his sword. Who knew that he would be so close to the sun in the air? After a few hours, he almost turned into a roasted duck! Fortunately, his skin was already a healthy wheat color, so he was no longer afraid of the sun.
He glared at Fen Yu, then turned to look at the gate of Qilin Company across the street, muttering to himself, "Damn it... I'm a graduate of a top national university this year, just about to find a good job and enjoy life! But I received a message from my master via flying sword, instructing me to come to this lousy company to look for a job! What's so strange about this lousy company?"
He looked up and asked Fen Yu, "Do you know why?"
Fen Yu shook his head and smiled, "I don't know! I just received orders to bring you to this Qilin Company! Seventh Young Master, you're a well-known figure in the industry. If I saw you here today, I'd think Jin Qi, who's been famous for years, is a middle-aged man around thirty. I didn't expect you to be so young! There must be a reason for the masters' orders, but you'll have to find out the specific reason yourself!"
Jin Qi nodded and sighed, "Sigh! There's definitely something strange about Qilin Company!"
"Strange, suspenseful, isn't that good? Isn't it just to your liking, Seventh Young Master?"
Fen Yu laughed loudly, "Who in the world doesn't know that you love to wield your sword, exorcise demons and ghosts? You're famous!"
This wasn't untrue; Jin Qi was only twenty-two years old, a recent university graduate, 1.78 meters tall, with a face like jade, slightly flushed, a dark, bronze-blue complexion; his sideburns were sharply defined, his eyebrows like ink paintings, like a long, piercing sword—incredibly sexy! His large, dark eyes beneath double eyelids were deep and mysterious, their pupils bright and unfathomable! According to his female university classmates, "Jin Qi is sexy, unique! A super handsome man!"
If they had seen Jin Qi showering naked in the university bathhouse, they would have screamed even more—Jin Qi had the looks to back it up!
Jin Qi's entire body was bulging with muscles, his chest and abs forming a well-defined eight-pack, even surpassing Wang Feng, the national diving champion, in physique, and he even had a lot more sexy chest hair! His skin was a healthy, tanned bronze, his back and shoulder muscles were harder than iron, his waist was firm and smooth without an inch of excess fat, his legs were long, and his hands, covered in veins and thick with hair, were powerful and strong.
But what attracted girls most was undoubtedly his genitals—long and thick in all the right places! Even his classmates at the bathhouse were amazed; they were all men, so why was his development so perfect?
His roommates were even more secretly impressed, completely convinced!
Jin Qi, seeing that Fen Yu didn't know the reason either, didn't ask any further. The weather was unbearably hot, so he stretched out his legs, pulled up his capri pants to reveal his muscular, hairy calves, and asked, "Boss, why is it so hot in your little shop? Where's our water?"
"Handsome boy, you must be from out of town, just arrived in Shachong!"
The shop owner brought over two bottles of iced drinks and laughed. In Guangdong and Guangxi, no matter how unattractive a boy is, he's always called "handsome boy," just like in Hong Kong, a sixty-year-old grandmother is called "handsome sister"!
Jin Qi pulled hard, popped open the can with a "bang," tilted his head back, and gulped down more than half of it in one go. He felt a little better and asked, "Not bad, we're new here. What's up?"
The shop owner said, "This Shachong is unusually hot! Other places around here aren't very hot, but Shachong is at least five degrees hotter than other places. Countless geological experts have come to investigate, but none have found the reason!"
Fen Yu smiled, "Five degrees is a bit of an exaggeration; it was measured to be three degrees higher before!" After
he finished speaking, his eyes were fixed on the many young girls on the small street outside and inside the Qilin Company's walls. Because of the extreme heat, many girls were wearing very short skirts, their hips swaying as they sat on the street—a very alluring sight! Adding to the sight of those white, shapely legs, Fen Yu secretly swallowed hard. After the shopkeeper explained, he asked, "Then, why did Qilin Company build its company in this run-down place?"
"Because the land is cheap! Qilin Company invested and established itself here! This is their headquarters, and they also have two large branch factories in Yuanshan Town and Jinshui Town! In recent years, Qilin Company has become one of the top three companies in the world! I don't know which industry they're in! Anyway, their advertisements always boast like that!"
the shopkeeper continued...
He was just an ordinary person and didn't know much.
Jin Qi knew a little more about this. Last night, upon learning of today's order in Beijing, he was annoyed and furious. He went online to research this lousy Qilin Company and was taken aback. The company had only been established for fifteen years, but its sales and profits had increased by over 100% annually, creating a miracle in the industry. It had achieved the second-largest market share in the world for a certain small product, significantly reducing product prices and breaking the decades-long monopoly of the Japanese in this type of product!
It was precisely because Qilin Company was going against the Japanese that Jin Qi was somewhat interested in coming
here. Down with the Japanese! Haha, although Jin Qi wasn't a radical, he was still willing.
This company was strange!
Was it a den of iniquity, or a disregard for human life?
Or was it rife with evil spirits and malevolent ghosts?
Otherwise, his master wouldn't have personally ordered him here! Jin Qi nodded secretly!
Chapter 4005, "Lifeless, Seven Deadly Grounds," saw two scantily clad young women enter to buy water. Their thighs were sexy and hairless, white and smooth, their breasts high and firm. Their movements, with each step, caused a ripple of desire in Fen Yu's heart. Only after the two girls left did he notice Jin Qi still staring blankly. He couldn't help but ask, "What, Seventh Young Master, do you also think those two girls have nice breasts?"
"Damn it!"
Jin Qi cursed, "Go to hell! Why would I pay attention to their breasts?"
"Haha, you weren't thinking about their breasts, you were definitely paying attention to their beautiful legs!"
Fen Yu said with a grin.
"Get the hell out of here! It's as if you've never seen a female in ten lifetimes while cultivating in Mount Putuo! You wouldn't even let a female mosquito go! I've seen plenty of beautiful women in university, these girls don't move me!"
Jin Qi said bitterly. His appreciation of women far surpassed that of Fen Yu, a generation above a mere novice!
He was secretly chuckling to himself, but for a different reason: these two young girls were wearing thongs! His eyesight was exceptional; he could see right through them!
Before, you'd pull down your underwear to see your buttocks, but now, with thongs, you had to first spread your buttocks to see your underwear!
Jin Qi felt a surge of heat. He hadn't expected the girls in Pengcheng, South China Sea, to be so open. Those alluring thongs were incredibly seductive. Girls in Shenyang, North China, were definitely not this flirtatious. Haha, if this womanizer of his really came to work in Pengcheng, he'd be a fish in water!
However, Jin Qi said, "I was just thinking that when they passed by me, I was really hoping they would bring a little bit of cool breeze, but there wasn't even a wisp of wind! All that waiting!"
"Ah!"
Fen Yu exclaimed in surprise, "They walk without a breeze? Could they be monsters?"
Jin Qi smacked Fen Yu on the head, saying, "In broad daylight, with so many people around, monsters dare to come? Are you crazy!"
He nodded emphatically again, "I suspect there's something wrong with the feng shui of this place!"
He then waved his hand vigorously in the air, and sure enough, there was only a tiny, barely perceptible breeze! In other words, the air in this place was practically stagnant!
Fen Yu also sensed something was amiss and quickly asked, "Seventh Young Master, what are you thinking about?"
Jin Qi said in a deep voice, "I suspect that Master sent me here because he discovered there's a problem with the feng shui of this Qilin Company! He wants me to work for this company to change the feng shui, and maybe there are tons of secrets inside that he wants me to uncover!"
"You want to join this company? That's great!"
Fen Yu said, "I heard that Qilin Company has over 20,000 employees at its headquarters in Shayong, and there are also many branch factories in the distant mountains and nearby waters! Even if you're one in a hundred, there are still plenty of beautiful women there. Haha, it's time for you to be a rogue! You can do a white-collar job, cultivate and level up at the same time, and still be able to date all sorts of beautiful women. You're really lucky!"
"Go to hell! Can't you listen to the point? I said there's a problem with the feng shui in the company. My main job is to investigate secrets!"
Jin Qi added. However, he was also satisfied with what Fen Yu said about 'doing a white-collar job, cultivating and leveling up, and also dating all kinds of beauties—quite the lucky guy!' He was young and vigorous, with his male hormones surging. Dating all kinds of beauties was a dream job!
Hmph, being a rogue? Haha, so be it!
When faced with stunning temptations, he had to act like a man, full of energy!
Anyway, a man who isn't a playboy in his youth is wasting his life. If it's heavenly thunder, then it's earthly fire!
"A problem with the feng shui?"
Fen Yu finally understood the point and asked cautiously and nervously, "What problem?"
"Listen carefully! I officially suspect that this feng shui is the second-ranked of the 'Seven Deadly Grounds' among the thirty-six acupoints and the ten major yin energy gathering places!"
Jin Qi said emphatically, unusually with a hint of melancholy.
"Heavens! Seven Deadly Grounds!"
Fen Yu cried out in despair.
Chapter 4006 of "Not Seeing Bingbing": Defying Heaven's Strong Cultivation, Using Public Office for Private Gain. Seventh Brother Jin Qi, fearing he had frightened Fen Yu, hurriedly laughed and said, "You kid? You know about the Seven Deadly Lands?"
"Don't underestimate me, okay?" Fen
Yu was furious, and said again, "Although I don't have the power to judge whether a place is a Seven Deadly Land, I've still heard of its terrifying name!"
"Hehe! I knew you couldn't tell!"
Jin Qi smiled and continued, "Then do you know how many taboos the Seven Deadly Lands have?"
Fen Yu saw that although the shop owner was busy at work, these ordinary people would be frightened by what he said later, causing unrest among the people, so he said, "Seventh Young Master, shall we go check the earth's energy first? Don't make a mistake!"
"Damn it! You son of a bitch!"
Jin Qi said, "You bastard, don't you believe me?"
Although he said this, he indeed took the lead and got up to leave the shop.
The two arrived at a secluded spot and began climbing a small hill behind the Qilin Company. They were both agile, and in no time, Jin Qi and Fen Yu reached the top of the hill.
Jin Qi looked around for a while, his heart filled with worry and his face showing some reluctance. He pointed ahead and sighed, "Alas, the Kan and Li positions are misaligned, and the Dui position is reversed. It really is a Seven Deadly Ground!"
Upon seeing Jin Qi's confirmation, Fen Yu became truly frightened and said, "The Seven Deadly Ground is one of the thirty-six most ominous sites! Legend has it that if this is confirmed as a feng shui site, a strong, cold, yin energy permeates the dead ground. It's usually formed by being surrounded by mountains on all sides, which block the flow of energy, creating a dead ground! At the center of the dead ground are some lakes and ponds; however, the water sources of these lakes and ponds are likely artificial, without a source of fresh water, forming stagnant pools! If left untreated for a long time, the sun, moon, stars, and constellations will not shine upon it, and wind, rain, thunder, and lightning will not pass through! All seven kinds of celestial influences will have no effect. That's why it's called a Seven Deadly Ground in feng shui! How come this is one?"
"Haha!"
Jin Qi was quite satisfied and said, "You're not bad, kid! You know these things! But do you know if any Seven Deadly Grounds have been discovered before?"
Fen Yu pursed his lips. He didn't know, having cultivated on Mount Putuo since childhood, he knew little about history, though he had heard quite a few stories from the esoteric texts of Buddhism and Taoism.
Jin Qi lowered his head, and after a moment, said, "About eight hundred years ago, after exhausting decades of effort, the Yuan Mongols finally conquered Sichuan. When they reached Chengdu, the Second Prince Kuo sat in the Wenming Hall of the government office, ordering a diviner to divine the future. The diviner said, 'The people's hearts are not with you; Chengdu is a death trap. If you go, it will last no more than two generations. It is better to leave in blood.' The Second Prince wrote the words 'Fire Kill' and ordered a massacre of the city. No one in the city escaped. The firelight illuminated a hundred miles. This ended Chengdu's prosperity for two thousand years since the Shu Kingdom, the pre-Qin period, the Han Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty. For the next seven hundred years, through the Yuan, Ming, and Qing Dynasties, Chengdu was unable to recover! This is the origin of the 'death trap'!"
"Ah?"
Fen Yu was greatly surprised: "Chengdu is so prosperous now, the capital of the southwest, how could it be a death trap?"
"Hehe! You do have some knowledge! That diviner was a bloodthirsty man, and he was just making wild guesses because he was going along with the Second Prince Kuo Duan's murderous intent! The four major rivers and countless smaller rivers in Sichuan have long been teeming with life, far from being a place of death! Chengdu, ah, is full of beautiful women..."
He went off-topic as he spoke, but he immediately realized it and cut off his words before Fen Yu could notice.
Unfortunately, Fen Yu, with his slightly lustful thoughts, didn't realize that just hearing the origin of the Seven Deadly Grounds was enough to send chills down his spine. He quickly smiled and said, "Seventh Young Master, but this is just a small area of Shayong. If it really is the Seven Deadly Grounds, it's a very rare place! Will there be any big problems?"
Jin Qi was somewhat confused and said, "Even if it's only within a radius of twenty miles, there are still major taboos! I wonder if anyone in the Qilin Company can tell that this is the Seven Deadly Grounds? If someone can see it and still insists on carrying out large-scale construction there, there must be something wrong! This is getting more and more interesting. I must investigate!"
Fen Yu thought to himself, "As expected of the famous Seventh Young Master, knowing the danger, he still wants to go into the Qilin Company to investigate the secrets!"
But what he said aloud was, "Haha, I think you're after the 1:8 male-to-female ratio in the Qilin Company, which is even lower than the average 1:6 male-to-female ratio in Pengcheng. Those big-breasted, pretty girls, aren't you? You're going to have a life of luxury with women on both sides!"
"Damn it! I said you guys cultivate in the mountains, aren't you all virgins, untouched by human affairs?"
Jin Qi said, annoyed. "How do you know everything! You brat! What do you usually cultivate? Is it some kind of bedroom art? The Classic of the Plain Girl?"
Jin Qi chuckled as he spoke, a chill running down his spine!
He didn't mention that if the Seven Deadly Lands were to become a mass grave again, accumulating a large number of dead spirits, and these spirits were stimulated by the Seven Deadly Lands to transform into ghosts, then it would be an utter catastrophe! "
What if the location of the Qilin Company headquarters in Shayong was a mass grave before? What
if someone takes a fancy to this Seven Deadly Lands, and opening a company is just a front, their real purpose being to absorb the resentment of dead spirits to increase their cultivation? What then?"
(Chapter 4007, "Like a Qilin, a Feng Shui Symbol") Fen Yu shouted again, "Seventh Young Master, something's wrong!"
"Something's wrong?"
Jin Qi was stunned. "What's wrong?"
"Look, what's this image of the Qilin Company's factory layout below?" Fen Yu
's face showed surprise and astonishment as he continued, "It really does look like...it really does look like..."
"I...I see it!"
Jin Qi, who hadn't checked before, could now see it clearly: "It's purely the shape of a four-legged Qilin!"
Fen Yu exclaimed excitedly, "This is definitely the first time we've discovered the secret behind this company's name! It turns out that the Qilin Company's name comes from its factory construction plans, because the plans were designed in the shape of a Qilin, hence the name Qilin! Strange, why is it a rare Qilin?" Jin Qi nodded, pointing to each point: "
The two chimneys over there are probably the kitchen/dining area; the two horns on the head of the Qilin are the two horns; the small resting lawn next to it is where the flesh is on the horns; and the last street behind is exactly the Qilin's tail..."
Fen Yu also nodded hurriedly. He knew that the Qilin, commonly known as the "Four Unlikes," was a benevolent and auspicious beast in ancient legends! It was a spiritual creature in ancient legends, not only being one of the "Four Spirits" along with the Phoenix, Tortoise, and Dragon, but also being the head of the Four Spirits, thus being called the King of Sacred Beasts.
He couldn't help but say, "Seventh Young Master, when we were at Putuo in the South China Sea, Guanyin Bodhisattva's mount was a Golden-haired Hou. I heard that she often sighed that she couldn't have a spiritual beast like the Qilin under her mount!"
"Hmph!"
Jin Qi sneered, "Guanyin Bodhisattva has quite the appetite! The Golden-haired Hou's ancestor was the Primordial Spirit Sacred Dragon, ranked after the Qilin. How can its descendant, ten thousand years later, be compared to the Qilin?"
"Ah... why is that?" "Excellent, excellent..."
Fen Yu was a disciple of the South Sea Sect, eighteen generations removed from Guanyin. He respected Guanyin and dared not be disrespectful in the slightest. He hurriedly asked in a low voice, knowing that Jin Qi was a Taoist and did not follow Buddhist rules. He could only smile helplessly.
"Hmph! The Buddha said: 'Since the beginning of chaos, heaven opened at the hour of Zi, earth was formed at the hour of Chou, and humankind was born at the hour of Yin. Heaven and earth reunited, and all things were born. Among all things are beasts and birds. Among beasts, the Qilin is the chief, and among birds, the Phoenix is the chief. The Phoenix, having received the energy of union, gave birth to the Peacock and the Roc...' The Peacock can be considered the mother of the Buddha, the Peacock King Bodhisattva, and the Roc is considered the uncle of the Buddha. The Peacock and the Roc are descendants of the Phoenix and the Qilin, yet they still occupy a place among the three thousand Buddhas! The Phoenix and the Qilin are certainly not mounts!"
Jin Qi laughed, "Guanyin's idea of using the Qilin as a mount is truly too far-fetched!" "
Fen Yu dared not say a bad word about Guanyin Bodhisattva, but thought: 'In the Book of Rites, it says: "Wheels and implements emerge from the earth, horses and diagrams appear in the river, and phoenixes and unicorns appear in the suburbs.' It also says: 'The unicorn, phoenix, tortoise, and dragon are called the four spirits.' The unicorn and phoenix are the first two, surpassing the primordial spirit dragon, and the golden-haired hou is a descendant of the dragon. Obviously, the unicorn and the golden-haired hou cannot be equated!'
But he was still unconvinced and laughed: 'Why are so many gods and Buddhas riding either dragons or tortoises? I don't see anything magical about it.'
Jin Qi said dejectedly: 'I don't know either. Perhaps there are too many dragons in later generations, so they are not respected! Think about it, even rivers have dragon kings, and small wells have wells... How can dragon kings be compared to the phoenix, peacock, and roc? Tortoises are even less to mention! And after the unicorn, there are even better breeds! But..."
Seeing Jin Qi stop, Fen Yu hurriedly asked: "But... but what?" "
But the Qilin is gentle and kind by nature, it doesn't harm living insects or break living grass, it has a horn on its head with flesh on the horn, it has weapons but doesn't use them, hence it is called the 'benevolent beast.' How is it connected to the Seven Deadly Lands?"
Jin Qi asked, puzzled.
"Could it be that they are unintentionally related?"
Fen Yu laughed.
"Absolutely not!"
Jin Qi said decisively, "Ordinary people couldn't design and construct a Qilin map! And it's in the Seven Deadly Lands, there must be a purpose!"
Fen Yu hurriedly looked at the factory again, the more he looked, the more it resembled a Qilin skeleton.
"One horn and round hooves, it walks with proper rules, it chooses its place carefully, it soars before settling down, it doesn't step into traps, it doesn't fall into nets. It is benevolent and righteous, it doesn't drink from ponds, it doesn't enter pits, it doesn't walk through nets. It is benevolent and righteous, its voice is in accordance with the musical scale, its steps are proper, its turns are precise, it chooses the soil before stepping on it, it settles only when it is in a stable place, it doesn't live in groups, it doesn't travel, its nature is complex and refined, its inquiries are subtle and gradual." These records all describe the Qilin as a benevolent and humble figure. As for the dragon and tortoise, which became so ubiquitous in later generations, it's best to simply leave them aside!
Jin Qi muttered to himself, "The Phoenix is unparalleled, the Qilin is hidden from the world. Even in the Investiture of the Gods and the Journey to the West, they haven't appeared! That's why they're so revered!"
The two continued pointing to the factory below. Jin Qi laughed, "The kitchen resembles a deer's head with antlers, the surrounding trees are like scales, and the back alley is like a cow's tail! Absolutely right, this is the form of a Qilin, the king of beasts. There's a saying, 'Among the 360 creatures with fur in the world, the Qilin is the leader!'"
Seeing Jin Qi's growing interest, Fen Yu laughed, "Jin Qi, I've long heard that the more dangerous the situation, the more you want to go all out. So, Young Master Qi, you won't refuse this job?"
Clearly, this was a teasing remark!
Jin Qi nodded, "The appearance of the Qilin is already intriguing! Add to that the Seven Deadly Grounds, and I think no one would refuse!"
There was another reason he didn't mention: it was for the more than ten thousand beautiful young women in the company. Haha, he'd go in, be a rogue, and save their lives—how exciting, how challenging!
The thought of the thong he'd just seen made his mouth even drier, so he quickly tilted his head back and drank the rest of the half-bottle of water!
He made up his mind and said, "Fen Yu, go back to Putuo in the South China Sea! I'm going to apply for a job at Qilin Company tomorrow!" (
Chapter 4008: Returning to the Mountain on a Sword, Straight to the Dead End) But, Seventh Young Master!
Fen Yu was a little worried: "Usually, college students do graduate in June, but they don't start working at companies until around August. It's not even July yet. Can you really get into Qilin Company as a recent graduate?"
"Hmph, it doesn't matter if others can't! I'm Jin Qi!"
Jin Qi said confidently.
Seeing that he had agreed to the order issued by his previous masters, Fen Yu was both confident and happy. After chatting for a while, he smiled and said, "Alright, I'll go back and report!"
Jin Qi nodded, and saw Fen Yu's face shimmer with Daoist light as he slowly drew a mysterious light in his hand, chanting: "In the secluded South Sea, Putuo is revered; with a thousand hands and a thousand eyes, great compassion and mercy; saving from suffering and distress, beneath the Purple Bamboo Grove; the immortal sword drives the wind, riding with the wind..." As
the incantation played, an immortal sword suddenly appeared beneath his feet. Jin Qi thought to himself, "I didn't expect that even ordinary disciples of Putuo in the South Sea could fly on swords! The Buddhist sect is indeed flourishing!"
In an instant, Fen Yu soared dozens of feet into the air, flying back to Putuo in the South Sea on his sword!
Jin Qi cursed inwardly again, "Damn it, how dare he fly on a sword on a small hill? Isn't he afraid of disturbing the world? The White Snake Lady always teaches the little green snake not to fly in broad daylight, humph, even demons know this, yet the Buddhist disciples turn a deaf ear?" "
However, he was just thinking about it casually, because there were more important things to do now!
Jin Qi went down the mountain and strolled into the Qilin Company. Now, he was shouldering the important task of understanding the Seven Deadly Lands, the fall of the Qilin, and the cultivation of beautiful women. That was what made it interesting! '
Nothing ventured, nothing gained,' he thought. To understand the secrets of the Seven Deadly Lands, he had to directly enter the land!
Sure enough, on this trip, he met the first stunning beauty who made his heart flutter: Ouyang Xue'er!
The young cultivator, brimming with yang energy, began his life of leveling up and chasing after beautiful women, facing irresistible temptations.
The two security guards at the entrance of the Qilin residential area felt a blur before their eyes, as if someone had floated by, but they couldn't be sure, it was just a slight breeze.
'Ah, what was that breeze just now?'
'Yes, it seemed like someone floated by...' '
Where was that person? It was probably just our imagination!'
Jin Qi, meanwhile, was already leisurely walking around the company, secretly smiling!
'Good luck!'" "Go for it..."
came a series of girls' voices from the other side. Jin Qi looked up and saw a sea of people around the basketball court, three layers deep. Haha, with so many people, there must be a beautiful cheerleading squad!
A surge of excitement ran through him, a mix of athleticism and male hormones!
Damn! Playing basketball—it had been so long since Jin Qi had played since he started working on his graduation project in his senior year!
Jin Qi was a player on their Mechanical Engineering team. Although he wasn't even 1.8 meters tall, he was incredibly fierce and had accurate shooting, which was naturally related to his good physique and... well, you know.
Besides, how could basketball players not be surrounded by beautiful girls? The male players on the Shenyang D University basketball team were always surrounded by either the school beauty, the college beauty, or at the very least, the class beauty!
Take himself, for example, haha, if the beauties at D University weren't kept in check, wouldn't there be plenty of beauties around?
Haha, I have to go check it out!
"Squeak... squeak!"
A sharp whistle blew from the middle of the court, and Jin Qi immediately understood—this referee was an amateur! However
, people watch basketball for the agile players and the beautiful women on the sidelines, so Jin Qi ignored the referee and went to the sidelines. There were already layers upon layers of people. He wondered, what kind of game was this? Why were so many people watching? And why were most of the fans women?
He looked around—damn, there wasn't even a banner, sponsorship, or naming rights. For a company as large as Qilin Company with countless subsidiaries, it would be understandable if it were a divisional competition or an internal league, but this… Why are there so many female spectators at a game that doesn't usually have any promotional banners?
It seems one of the players must be a superstar! That's why the girls are going crazy.
Jin Qi secretly summoned his wind spirit, spreading his fingers to the sides. Everyone felt a gust of wind seem to sweep through the crowd, and before they could react, they saw Jin Qi standing at the edge of the basketball court, in front of them.
The girls were quite puzzled. They were about to scold him for being so bold as to squeeze through such a crowded area.
But when they saw Jin Qi's healthy physique, sharp eyebrows, and wheat-colored skin, they immediately fell silent, completely subdued. Numerous fiery gazes began to shoot out relentlessly!
Jin Qi didn't care, because with just a glance, he had already noticed two people on the basketball court that day! The two most outstanding players.
The first one was truly a stunning beauty!
(Chapter 4009 of "Before I Met Bingbing," Ouyang Xue'er) The first person I saw in my life was a stunning beauty! Even someone like Jin Qi, who had seen countless people and was deeply influenced by the fantasies of his dorm mate, almost couldn't take his eyes off her!
This beauty was currently three zhang away from Jin Qi, quietly watching the game while smiling. She was completely different from the other non-professional fangirls around her who were just clapping... The girl was completely different, exceptionally reserved! From his current angle and position, Jin Qi could only see the girl's profile, not her face. However, from her graceful profile and snow-white skin, it was impossible to tell that she was a beauty!
At this moment, the girl turned her head to say something to her friend beside her, and then turned her body slightly. Jin Qi saw her back and was stunned. He opened his mouth wide because what he saw was the girl's high and full buttocks under her jeans. From the hem of her jeans, he could see her sexy and alluring long legs, and from her white fitted top, he could see that she had a charming wasp waist.
Jin Qi was the Romeo of the campus, a hopeless romantic, a normal, virile young man. At this moment, he longed to gently embrace the girl's voluptuous body from behind, his hands tightly grasping her mysterious, full breasts. Thinking of this, he realized he was losing control. His throat went dry, his eyes gleamed, his body trembled, and his breathing almost stopped. He feared his heart would race and his soul would leave his body. What embarrassed him most was that a certain part of his body was about to betray him!
Fate had other plans; he was wearing light-colored capri pants. If he had any physiological arousal, the thin underwear wouldn't be able to conceal anything, everything would be crystal clear!
He began to arouse.
He was burning with desire!
Even now, the thought of his first meeting with Ouyang Xue'er made Jin Qi's eyes redden, tears welling up.
Because now, Ximen Bingbing was by his side, and where was Ouyang Xue'er? Everything had changed!
Jin Qi was a master heartbreaker, knowing which girls were feigning innocence and genuinely wanton, and which were truly reserved and pure. This beauty was undoubtedly the latter!
Fortunately, the girl turned around, quelling Jin Qi's impulse! Now
Jin Qi could see her true face: a pair of large, watery eyes with a reserved smile, but to Jin Qi, that smile was seduction! Her sweet dimples were beautiful and captivating, more beautiful than some Japanese movie stars, even more innocent than adult film actresses! She had well-proportioned features, fresh and natural; her snow-white teeth were neat and orderly; her long, black hair was shiny and reached her chest; her tall figure was graceful and elegant; her delicate temperament was charming and graceful; her radiant smile was beautiful and moving.
In short, everything about her was perfectly coordinated, reaching the highest level; her profile, back view, and front view were all flawless.
Just then, the beautiful woman glanced over unintentionally, and her gaze fell precisely on Jin Qi's still-erect physical reaction—a vibrant, angry impulse! She was somewhat surprised, and slightly raising her head, she met Jin Qi's burning gaze.
From a handsome guy!
Jin Qi was incredibly embarrassed, but his lower body wouldn't cooperate. His capri pants, when seen from the woman's face, made his erection appear even more prominent. He cursed inwardly, "Damn it, this is my first impression on her! She must think I'm a perverted scoundrel!"
Hmph, she should know that she's definitely charming, not lewd!
(Chapter 4010: Know Yourself and Your Enemy, and You Will Never Be Defeated) The woman blushed, seeing Jin Qi's excited expression, and quickly turned her head away, thinking to herself, "This guy is so impulsive! By the playground, he's... a real pervert! A scoundrel!"
Whether she actually thought, "Ah, his... it's really big!"
is unknown.
With a slight lowering of her head, she exuded an indescribable charm. Jin Qi was both delighted and frustrated, thinking to himself, "Even on campus, there aren't any girls as pure and beautiful as her!"
Haha, how could he not conquer such a beauty? If he didn't, he wouldn't be known as the reigning champion of D University's four-year reign as the campus heartthrob, Young Master Qi!
Jin Qi was at least a decent gentleman, unlike his fourth roommate from university, who, whenever he saw a woman, whether fat or thin, would have a lewd look on his face, desperately suppressing his impulses, swallowing hard, and you could hear the exaggerated rumbling in his stomach!
The fourth roommate was the master of fantasy; whenever he saw a beautiful girl, he would always fantasize about pulling her into his arms, lowering his head to kiss his bearded, undressed mouth, deeply sucking on her sweet tongue, his left hand around her slender waist, his right hand inside her clothes, tightly grasping her sexy breasts, vigorously stroking and kneading them, feeling an indescribable sense of ecstasy!
Jin Qi was much more righteous. Seeing the girl's stunningly beautiful face, pure and ethereal, he suppressed all his wicked thoughts. Slowly, even his trousers became well-behaved. He simply thought to himself with delight, "Haha, working at this Qilin Company, I can explore secrets, improve my cultivation, and even pursue this beauty! I must win her over! Excellent, excellent!" The
more he looked at her, the more he liked her. The beauty seemed to notice Jin Qi's burning gaze and haughtily looked away, ignoring him with icy indifference!
In that instant, Jin Qi thought to himself, even if she's angry, she's still the most beautiful. Even if she's an ice queen, he'll still pursue her! Right, from now on, he'll call her the Ice Queen!
However, he felt a little discouraged because from the moment Jin Qi looked at her, the Ice Queen hadn't glanced at him once. Her eyes were always full of anticipation, chasing after a boy.
Jin Qi glanced in the direction of her gaze and felt a chill run down his spine. This boy was one of the two he had initially noticed—the best player on the basketball court!
Could they be a couple?
"Damn it, no way!"
Jin Qi cursed inwardly!
Could the ice-cold beauty he had just set his sights on already be taken?
Jin Qi scrutinized the ice-cold beauty again. From head to toe, he saw her slender waist, tight legs, and a delicate fragrance, indicating she was a virgin. Her eyes were soft and bright, her laughter was clear and melodious, and her hips were firm and her waist lifted—clearly, she had never been with anyone!
This made him even happier; she was still a pure and innocent girl! Actually, Jin Qi didn't really care about that.
Hmph, in a soccer game, there's a goalkeeper, and the players are all trying their best to score. Now, it was Jin Qi's turn to be the player, attacking the goal guarded by this boy!
He just wondered if the ice-cold beauty was the goalkeeper, and if the goalkeeper was this basketball boy! …
Jin Qi dared not be careless this time, turning around to carefully observe this potential, possibly romantic rival from the basketball team!
Knowing your enemy is half the battle!
This boy appeared to be 1.8 meters tall, with a square face, upright posture, and a sturdy build. Although his face was covered in sweat, he looked to be only twenty-three or twenty-four years old. Wearing a blue Nike jersey, he was clearly the spiritual leader of the blue team, playing shooting guard.
Most strangely, his eyes weren't the typical light-colored eyes of an Easterner, but rather deep-set like those of a Westerner, seemingly possessing some kind of magic.
“Damn it, those eyes are definitely the kind that can charm girls. Looks like he's a seasoned player in love, and damn, so handsome!”
Jin Qi muttered in dissatisfaction.
The numerous female fans around him would go wild whenever this boy touched the ball, whether he was dribbling, passing, or shooting.
Clearly, this boy was the star of the day on the basketball court!
Jin Qi was also a skilled basketball player, a key member of the college team. Now, he calmed down and watched the game between the blue and red teams.
The game was now in the second half, with the blue team leading the red team 40-37.
The blue-clad boy was dribbling the ball, facing two red team defenders. He smiled faintly, casually performed two between-the-legs dribbles, and the ball passed him! Facing
the last red player, he slowed down, his body halting, his hips slightly bent, as if preparing to shoot.
Seeing the boy's shooting stance, the sturdy red-clad defender froze, instinctively jumping up.
Jin Qi chuckled coldly and muttered, "Stupid! That was a fake!"
He was annoyed; let his trick succeed!
Sure enough, "Oh no!"
The red-clad defender, already rising through the air, saw the boy still standing still and exclaimed in surprise.
The blue-clad boy stood on the court, smiling, holding the ball in one hand. From afar, the female cheerleaders saw him as a statue, inspiring a sense of sacred solemnity.
As the red-clad defender began to descend, the smiling boy's expression changed. He jumped slightly, stretched out his arm, and easily threw the ball. "Damn!"
Jin Qi cursed under his breath! He saw the boy's composure and accuracy from the first shot; he knew he had succeeded!
The red team players had all returned to their own half, helplessly watching the crimson basketball fly over their heads. They clenched their fists weakly and muttered, "Damn it! He tricked us!"
"Swish!"
With the crisp sound of the ball hitting the net, it went in!
The scoreboard was immediately flipped over by the scorer, showing 42:37.
The female fans cheered! "Go Prince!"
"Prince, I love you..."
Jin Qi turned his head and saw the ice-cold beauty clapping her hands, a rare sight, her face beaming. The boy in blue, after shooting, didn't even look back, confidently running back. He was certain it would go in!
Then he looked up with a charming smile, but damn it, he just shot straight at the ice-cold beauty!
"Wow!" The ice-cold beauty didn't think much of it, but the girls around her exclaimed, "Ah, the prince was looking at me!"
"He must have been looking at me!"
Jin Qi's hearing was naturally exceptional; he heard it clearly. What? This boy is called Prince? Why is everyone calling him Prince?
What a domineering name!
Does he deserve it?
Just as he was about to ask the two girls in blue next to him, he heard the taller girl say indignantly, "Hmph! Do they even deserve it? Why would the prince look at them?"
"Yeah, the prince probably only looks at Xue'er! In my opinion!"
Jin Qi quickly asked with a smile, "Beautiful lady! The male player who made the basket is named Prince?"
"What? You don't know him? You don't recognize him?"
The shorter female fan seemed to have seen an alien: "You don't even recognize Prince?"
After saying that, she finally looked up and seriously looked at Jin Qi. Her eyes softened in an instant. In front of a handsome guy like Jin Qi, all beauties were captivated.
She opened her eyes wide. They were quite beautiful big eyes, but the rest of her features were not worth looking at. It was better not to look at them! If it were someone else, this action would definitely be considered disdainful, but for a handsome man like Jin Qi, she would definitely try her best to show her beauty.
She had even washed her hair, giving it a slightly bouncy feel. Obviously, she had prepared very seriously to watch the prince play basketball.
Jin Qi shook his head. He knew his charm. As long as it was a girl, he wouldn't need to ask her again; she would tell him on her own.
It worked every time from high school to university, and now that I've graduated, I'm even more mature, with a wild beauty and a strong masculinity. It should work!
Let's hear whether this prince is a real princeling or just a good-for-nothing.
Chapter 4012 of "Not Seeing Bingbing": The New Prince Party, the Three-Capital Man. The short girl stared intently at Jin Qi, talking incessantly: "Prince's real name is Prince! A great name! His father is the founder and president of our Qilin Company! Since he returned from studying in the US last year, he supposedly has a double bachelor's degree from some university with a long list of names? Anyway, he's multi-talented, incredibly romantic, and a perfect basketball shooter. He's already the most handsome man in our Qilin Company!"
"What... a double bachelor's degree from St. John's University!"
The tall girl, afraid her companion would steal the spotlight, quickly interjected: "I heard he was originally going to pursue a master's degree, but he gave it up and returned to China to manage the company! Now he seems to hold some kind of position... Anyway, in the company, he's a sight to behold, a high-ranking and powerful sight..."
Jin Qi smiled coldly, noncommittal. These days, what's so great about going to America? Just because someone's family is rich doesn't mean they can do it. How many high school trash have gone to America just because their families are rich?
Then they come back, adorned with an aura of prestige—returnees from overseas! Undeniably, some returnees are indeed on par with the world in terms of vision and knowledge, but others are simply returnees from overseas! Unfortunately, if someone is a fool, they remain a fool! Forget America, even if they went to the moon and came back, they'd still be a fool! A prince might just be a sparrow!
The tall girl smiled knowingly, carefully scrutinizing Jin Qi. What a handsome guy! But then she added quietly, "Judging by your appearance, you must be new here! You could have easily competed with him! But look over there…"
She sighed, pointing to a spot ten feet away from the stadium. There, under a tree, was a BMW!
***, a princeling, driving a BMW!
Seeing a BMW and her eyes lighting up—this kind of ordinary girl can only be described with one word:
vulgar!
And men love women, love football, love basketball, love cars—these are the four universal hobbies of all men, including boys, and Jin Qi is no exception!
So the theme of their university dormitory "night talks" was always sex, beautiful women, and the allure of sex! Every night, as soon as the lights went out, the many virile young men would either say that this girl had a good figure or that girl had a nice butt! The lecherous fourth brother in Jinqi's dormitory was especially fond of this!
So, even the Chinese men's football team, despite its infamous reputation, repeated defeats, and losing both the game and the dignity at the Beijing Olympics, still had passionate fans, wave after wave, following one after another!
So, although the NBA is just a professional league in the United States, it has gained immense popularity worldwide, especially in China! Whenever Yao Ming and the Rockets played in the regular season, the playoffs, the finals, and the All-Star game were incredibly popular, and Jinqi's dormitory TV mostly broadcast NBA games! Every basketball game at the Olympics was incredibly popular!
Therefore, the boys would look on with envy when talking about BMWs and Mercedes! It seemed that BMWs and Mercedes-Benzes were symbols of status, the epitome of a man with "three assets" (capital, experience, and looks)!
Jin Qi's eyes
lit up, and he almost couldn't resist the temptation, exclaiming in surprise, "Holy crap, this is the newly launched BMW 730Li Classic Edition! The legendary high cost-performance ratio, exquisite craftsmanship, BMW inline six-cylinder engine, elegant interior, ergonomically designed comfortable seats, top-notch audio system, professional navigation system, automatic control system... Holy crap, this is the luxurious and comfortable car I've always dreamed of!"
He talked to himself, and the tall girls were stunned. It was already a miracle that they didn't mistake the BMW logo for a Mercedes-Benz; Jin Qi's string of technical terms coming from his mouth almost left them completely bewildered!
They had never even heard of the "730Li Classic Edition," and they were dumbfounded. Could it be that not only was the prince a prince, but this handsome man in front of them was also a member of the legendary "princeling" class?
In their eyes, they probably didn't even know what Ferrari meant, maybe they thought it was a French name, and only BMW and Mercedes were considered top-tier cars!
After realizing this, they immediately became reserved and uneasy, their faces slowly turning red, and their hands and feet becoming flustered. They even carefully covered their long hair, which they hadn't noticed before—it was their only source of pride, but unfortunately, it was a bit split and dry!
Fortunately, Jin Qi's attention was focused on the basketball game, and he didn't notice their changes too much!
Hmph, I'll see, in this world there are white horse princes, black horse princes, I wonder if there's a prince in a blue passing jersey? (
Chapter 4013, "Secretly Taking Action") Seeing this boy dominating the basketball court again and again, Jin Qi was just annoyed: Damn it, I must play a game with him sometime, I must block his two big blocks! Giving him two hot pots (a metaphor for smothering him) will finally vent my frustration!
The red-clad guard, who had been tricked by the prince earlier, was clearly the captain of the red team. Now that both sides had scored a goal each, while retrieving the ball, the red-clad guard quickly addressed his teammates: "Everyone, hold on! We must remain calm at all times. The blue team is strong, but we mustn't lose our composure. We shouldn't be complacent because of a goal, nor discouraged by a mistake. If we have either of these mindsets, then the next few goals we concede won't just be a matter of one or two; it will directly affect the victory of the game. We are the best!"
Jin Qi nodded. He could say so many inspiring things even in this short break; this guy seemed good, with some organizational skills. He was thick-skinned and burly. He then chuckled and asked, "Who was that guy who served the ball for the red team?"
The short girl interjected, "Him? He seems a bit slow-witted, a bit simple-minded, but he's also a famous basketball player in the company, named Zhang Yuan, from the technical department! Too bad..."
"So, is the Xue'er you mentioned over there the girl in white? Is she the prince's girlfriend?"
Jin Qi gestured towards the icy beauty again, asking the question he'd been wanting to ask.
The tall girl immediately replied, "No! Many girls like the prince, but it seems he's only nice to Xue'er! Xue'er isn't happy? She's indifferent! I don't know what's so great about Xue'er, she's just got two eyes and a mouth..."
Jin Qi was astonished!
Jealous girls are all crazy, he'd concluded!
But Jin Qi was still happy. So Xue'er and the prince's relationship wasn't confirmed yet, haha, now he didn't need to score in front of the goalkeeper, he just needed to steal the ball at midfield.
Xue'er is destined to be mine! A voice in Jin Qi's heart cried out, and so, the more enemies there are, the more he had to attack, showing his true manly nature!
The game continued, and occasionally the prince would dribble forward like the wind among the crowd, reaching the red team's basket, and making a beautiful one-handed layup, scoring 2 points!
Occasionally, Zhang Yuan would leap and shoot a mid-range jumper, the crimson basketball rim tracing a graceful arc before going in—two points!
Most of the female fans around Jin Qi were jumping wildly, chanting, "Prince, go!"
"Prince, go!"
"Blue Team, go!"
Prince's performance was increasingly impressive; his resolute face grew increasingly sweaty as the score climbed, and he didn't wipe it away, the sweat dripping down—he exuded a natural dominance! He was unstoppable with long-range shots and rebounds, running frantically. Most strangely, every shot he took went in! Every point!
Jin Qi gasped: "Damn, his touch is on fire! Just like me!"
Prince wasn't just a sharpshooter, but also a playmaker. Every pass and dribble through his hands was a potential assist opportunity. Even with two Red Team players specifically guarding him, he moved with ease on the court…like a fish in water! Today, he wasn't just the scoring champion, but also the assist champion!
Everyone was drenched in sweat, but the cheers and encouragement from the girls made them even more energetic and spirited!
Jin Qi, a basketball expert, naturally understood this!
On the basketball court, who doesn't want to win?
Every bit of sweat, every bit of running, every steal means less regret! Anyone who truly loves basketball understands this!
"Everyone move!"
"Cover up!"
"Defend him!"
"Full-court defense!"
"Close marking!"
The game continued, the atmosphere electric.
With one minute left, the blue team led the red team 73-69.
The red team called a timeout. Jin Qi, seeing the tall and short girls around him cheering wildly for the prince, felt annoyed and secretly thought, "Haha, you're cheering for your prince? Humph, I'm not having it! Watch me crush his ball!"
Especially seeing the icy beauty in white constantly smiling, he was even more annoyed. "You're destined to be my beauty, and you're still cheering for the prince?
Haha, watch my performance! "
Jin Qi already had a plan in mind! A mischievous thrill seemed to emanate from him; he was about to make his move!
(Chapter 4014 of "Not Seeing Bingbing") The Prince got the ball again. His footwork was swift, dribbling quickly, unstoppable. He reached the three-point line, jumped, and shot!
If it went in, a three-pointer would widen the score gap, a permanent tragedy for the Red Team!
Zhang Yuan helplessly looked up at the crimson basketball spinning in the air, stopping in his tracks. He knew that once the Prince shot, how could he not score? Sigh, today had been very close, but it seemed they were going to lose by a large margin again!
After shooting, the Prince habitually turned back and smiled at Xue'er, tossing his hair, looking very elegant. But then he frowned. Strangely, he didn't hear the familiar applause, but instead a chorus of regretful boos. "Oh..."
How could this be? He was shocked. Today, he had taken nine shots, making all nine, scoring 23 points. How could he miss this time? Impossible!
He quickly turned around to look.
The crimson basketball was already safely in Zhang Yuan's hands. Zhang Yuan, the rebounding king of the game, had grabbed the rebound and was preparing for a counterattack!
Apparently, in Zhang Yuan's near-suffocating moment, this seemingly sure-fire shot had slightly lost its aim in the air. Just as it reached the edge of the rim, it seemed to have been slightly deflected by an inexplicable gust of wind, bouncing only on the rim. The red team was overjoyed—no, it didn't go in! Zhang Yuan had grabbed the rebound!
Zhang Yuan immediately organized a fast break, and the ball went in, 2 points! The score was now 71-73.
"Yay…!"
Jin Qi gently clenched his fist, congratulating them.
The girls around him seemed to have seen a monster, staring at Jin Qi. How could someone not cheer for the blue team? However, when they saw Jin Qi's broad chest and the thick hair on his calves, their hearts pounded, but they remained silent.
This handsome guy, so handsome!
He's not much less handsome than the Prince of Qilin on the court!
The Blue Team inbounded the ball again, driving left and right until they reached the Red Team's three-point line. With only forty seconds left, the ball was passed to Prince again. Prince confidently launched a two-pointer, and the shot was sure to go in!
He habitually turned to celebrate, but again, there were no cheers, only disappointed boos. "Oh..."
This time, he was completely stunned, his lips twitching slightly, his face filled with disbelief. Before he could react, Zhang Yuan led a fast break, personally sinking a three-pointer, making it 74-73, taking a one-point lead over the Blue Team!
Throughout the game, Zhang Yuan's fans on the Red Team had been suppressed by Prince, but now, seeing a chance to take the lead, they went wild: "Zhang Yuan, go!"
"Red Team, go!"
Prince calmed down, sneered, and carefully looked around. He realized that either a Red Team player or a spectator was secretly sabotaging things.
Hmph, sportsmanship is important in basketball, how could anyone be so despicable?
Only ten seconds left! The Blue Team's last inbound pass!
Jin Qi felt incredibly exhilarated; the thrill of securing a sure basket for the Prince of Qilin was truly exhilarating!
Ten seconds left, he had to try again if he got the chance!
Chapter 4015 of "Unseen Ice" came to a close. The fierce rival, with a quick movement, received a pass from a teammate near midcourt and accelerated towards the Red Team's basket. This time, Zhang Yuan tried to block him, but the Prince clearly charged him, knocking him to the ground.
However, the referee obviously ignored it. At this point, why would he blow the whistle? After all, he was the president's son; it was his last chance, and he had to do the Prince a favor! It would be good for his future at the Qilin Company headquarters!
The fans around the court were mostly girls. The sound of the basketball hitting the ground and the ticking of the clock added a suffocating atmosphere to the otherwise silent basketball court. When the ten-second mark arrived, the countdown began frantically: "10!" "
9!"
"8!" "7!" "6!"
Prince simply dribbled the ball continuously at the three-point line, smoothly switching hands, but not preparing to shoot. He had already made his decision! Two red team players double-teamed him, but Prince kept the ball firmly in his hand!
Jin Qi, seeing Prince's confidence, couldn't help but sneer. "Let's see what you can do with a buzzer-beater! Hmph, if you want to be a hero like Jordan, you
'll have to get past me first! With me here, how dare you show off?
" "5!"
"4!"
"3!"
"2!"
"1..."
The crowd went completely wild! The shouts were deafening!
The climax was finally approaching, and the end would come amidst the climax!
With the sound of "1," Prince leaped high, reaching a meter and a half off the ground, far surpassing Zhang Yuan's jump in front of him. He stretched out his hand, releasing the basketball just in time!
After shooting, he didn't turn around as usual, but kept his eyes fixed on the ball.
He knew something was amiss!
Sure enough, when the basketball was still three feet from the net, a barely perceptible gust of wind from the left lightly and deftly touched it in mid-air. It seemed the ball was going to miss the net again!
Needless to say, all three shots were secretly made by Jin Qi!
Unfortunately, this time, just as Jin Qi was celebrating, the basketball swerved in mid-air and went straight into the net!
"Ah! Damn it!"
Jin Qi exclaimed, because he saw Prince's finger also slightly move towards the basketball! He was playing tricks too!
The score was 75:74, with Prince of the Blue Team winning!
Damn it, so this Prince also has some kind of special ability! Jin Qi cursed inwardly!
Fortunately, everyone was cheering and jumping for joy, supporting Prince! No one noticed Jin Qi's surprise, including the two girls, one tall and one short, beside him.
The prince glanced around briefly, finding no one particularly unusual. He only glanced at Jin Qi, a fleeting look, before Jin Qi averted his gaze. However, the prince was still slightly taken aback. This young man was different! Among the girls, he stood out like a crane among chickens, or even anywhere else. Was he a company employee?
How come he didn't recognize him before?
Although Jin Qi didn't look at the prince, he felt a pang of guilt. After all, the prince possessed superpowers. If he had used them to interfere with the red team, they might not have scored a single point! The blue team would have won decisively! But throughout the entire second half, Jin Qi hadn't seen the prince use his superpowers…
even once!
He competed fairly with the red team using his genuine basketball skills, only using his superpowers to protect himself when Jin Qi broke the rules first!
Logically, someone like that shouldn't be a morally corrupt person, right?
Jin Qi was an upright man, and thinking of this, he almost considered not making an enemy of the prince!
However, the moment he saw the prince drenched in sweat, exuding a powerful masculine aura, his brows relaxed as he walked towards Xue'er, all his intention to appease him vanished!
Damn it, this is my future rival!
For the sake of the icy beauty Xue'er, how could I let him go!
The enemy is fierce!
(Chapter 4016: BMW Smashed, Prince Rejected) In the crowd, Xue'er clapped and smiled slightly, celebrating with the prince.
The prince was overjoyed and went forward, but he was also uneasy. After the previous few matches, he had invited Xue'er to celebrate, but she had always politely declined. He wondered what the outcome would be this time.
Jin Qi's heart was in his throat. He heard the prince walk up to Xue'er and say, "Xue'er, let's go have a meal together!"
Xue'er smiled and handed him the unopened bottle of mineral water she had been holding, saying lightly, "Have some water!"
This was the first time Xue'er had spoken, and although it was only four words, "Have some water," Jin Qi was even more captivated. Could there be such a beautiful and gentle voice in the world? Hearing these words, every pore on his body felt comfortable!
If only she had said it to him with a smile!
"Ah! Hmm! Water? Sure!"
The prince's eyes widened. He was already thirsty, and the water in Xue'er's hand was naturally even more refreshing!
"What I mean is... you just finished playing ball, drink some water to replenish your energy!"
Xue'er's face flushed again as she said softly.
"Oh, you're so thoughtful, thank you."
The prince reached out and took the bottled water Xue'er handed him. He opened it and gulped down more than half of it. Under the setting sun, sweat glistened on the prince's face, and his neck was noticeably thicker than the other. As the icy water went down his throat, his 1.8-meter height made his actions even more masculine!
Some of the girls around Xue'er even brought towels, but Wang Zi just shook his head. He only wanted Xue'er's towels, not anyone else's!
Seeing that he hadn't received a reply from Xue'er, Wang Zi pressed the key, and the BMW 730li Classic Edition in the distance flashed its lights three times as it started to drive off. Everyone exclaimed, "Wow, a new BMW!"
"Xue'er, how honored!"
Jin Qi couldn't help but feel a surge of anger. "You're so young, did you buy the car with your own money?"
Besides, every man is covered in sweat after playing sports. Humph, he doesn't shower before taking beautiful women out?
Back in college, I always showered thoroughly after playing sports before going out with female fans!
Jin Qi, of course, didn't know that working out was incredibly common in America. The smell of sweat after a workout, like Wang Zi's, was what most appealed to American women. However, no one knew what the beautiful Xue'er, from the East, was thinking!
Jin Qi was displeased, so he secretly practiced his profound internal energy. His arms were slightly bent, his neck straight, his Baihui point (crown of the head) lifted, his shoulders relaxed, his hips loosened, his chin slightly tucked, his mouth slightly closed, his tongue pressed against his palate, his eyes fixed straight ahead, his mind focused on his dantian (lower abdomen), and he chanted incantations, summoning spiritual energy. In just an instant, the prince let out a soft "Eh!" Amidst the exclamations of "Ah!"
from the crowd, the large tree next to the BMW 730li Classic Edition snapped in half, its dark branches swiftly pressing down on the BMW 730li Classic Edition!
"How could this happen? There's no wind!"
"Yes, this big tree just snapped without any wind, it's unbelievable!"
"What a pity for the BMW! A brand new car!"
Wang...
zi was also shocked. He had been focused on Xue'er and hadn't paid much attention to the commotion around him. Since it happened so suddenly, he had to deal with it first. So, instinctively, he waved his right hand, and something unbelievable happened again. The fallen tree veered two meters to the side, narrowly avoiding the BMW. Even so, the BMW was half-scraped, and the rear was crushed. It was definitely not safe to drive today!
"Ah, strange, the broken tree has turned again!"
"What a pity, it's still partially crushed!"
"Such a new BMW! Sigh!"
Amidst the sighs of regret, Xue'er smiled slightly and said, "Prince, thank you for the invitation! Look, your car is broken today, let's talk about it later."
The prince nodded, also helpless. He looked around again, of course not seeing Jin Qi, who had been avoiding him, and said, "Alright, anyway, this Saturday is my birthday, I'm having a party at my house, I'll invite you then, how about it?"
Under everyone's gaze, Xue'er blushed and slowly nodded.
Jin Qi couldn't help but feel a chill. Damn it, she agreed!
He was very depressed. He had secretly used his power to ruin the prince's two sure-fire goals, and he felt somewhat guilty! But when he smashed the prince's BMW, he felt no remorse. He knew that with the prince's age and income, where would he get the money to buy a BMW? This BMW must have been given to him by his father!
If the prince had the money to buy a BMW himself, he definitely wouldn't have the heart to smash it!
A promising young man wouldn't matter, but Jin Qi never liked spoiled brats like that.
The prince made a phone call, presumably to have the insurance company and repair shop send over a BMW, then pushed through the crowd and left, leaving behind a group of female fans who stared longingly at his retreating figure, inhaling the faint sandalwood scent lingering in the air. As the crowd
slowly dispersed, Jin Qi realized a serious problem: Good heavens, he wasn't even an employee of Qilin Company yet, what right did he have to like Xue'er?
He was just a recent college graduate, not even settled on a job, how could he compete with the incredibly wealthy prince for a beautiful woman?
But he didn't care! Shrinking back in the face of trouble wasn't in Jin Qi's nature.
(Chapter 4017: Something's Up, An Unexpected Joy)
Thinking of Xue'er, he looked up and saw her heading towards the back gate of Qilin Company's residential area.
Jin Qi muttered to himself, "Chasing girls? You can have anything, but you have to be shameless! I'm going for it! Xue'er, I'm coming!"
He had just taken a step when a glance out of the corner of his eye... wait, something's not right!
He noticed two pairs of lewd eyes fixed on Xue'er's sexy, perky buttocks on Zhang Yuanhong's team. He couldn't help but think to himself, "People say the security outside Shenzhen is terrible, but surely it's not so bad that you can just blatantly grope a beautiful woman like that? So unrestrained?"
Jin Qi was no ordinary man; he'd been deeply influenced by his roommate, the master of lewd fantasies, for four years. He could tell clearly which gaze was just ordinary lewdness and which was the gaze of a sexually repressed, empty lecher!
And now, these two broad-shouldered men in red were... damn it, their eyes were filled with the urge of someone who'd been starving for ten years to finally spot a beautiful woman!
Haha, there's a pervert! This beauty is going to get into trouble tonight!
It would definitely be bad for Xue'er, but what about him? Was it good or bad?
It would be an unexpected surprise! Should he play the hero and save the damsel in distress?
Jin Qi pretended to know nothing, his eyes seemingly confused, and slowly walked towards the red team. He overheard Zhang Yuan say, "Zhang Gan, Wang Dadan, long time no see! It's rare for you to come see me! Three years apart, did you enjoy the game?"
Could it be that these two hadn't seen Zhang Yuan for three years? What was their relationship, that they could play together?
Zhang Gan, burly, spat and said, "Damn it, we were supposed to play half-court separately, but that idiot Prince was too arrogant, I really wanted to teach them a lesson, so we decided to play the whole game. I didn't expect we'd still lose!"
Jin Qi nodded, finally understanding: "Hmph, I knew there was no organization, trash referee! So this was a game without any reason!"
Clearly, they had been playing separately, but Zhang Gan and Wang Dadan disliked Prince and provoked him, leading to this game without any intervention or discipline.
Wang Dadan also said to Zhang Yuan, "Yeah, buddy! Who's that kid? He's the star of the show on the court, and almost all the pretty girls watching the game have become his fans? We're all big and strong, how come we don't have any pretty girls cheering for us?"
"Him? He's got a lot of connections in the company!"
Zhang Yuan hadn't seen these two college classmates for three years, and they suddenly came to see him this morning, so he took them to play basketball.
However, he felt something was off. He sensed that Zhang Dadan and Wang Dadan's speech was much more vulgar and lewd than in college. Back then, they were quite obscene!
He didn't actually like these two old classmates very much, but he was only hosting them out of politeness. Besides, they were employees of Qilin Company, and Wang Zi was the president's son, so he would definitely have to be respectful in the future. Therefore, he didn't bother to tell them who Wang Zi was, to avoid any unnecessary trouble.
Jin Qi thought bitterly, "Haha, Zhang Yuan should have said so! It would be great to see these two obviously bad guys intercept and retaliate against the prince! With the prince's abilities, he could probably take on ten of them single-handedly! That would be a real spectacle! It would be truly interesting if these two trash tried to rob the prince but ended up getting taught a lesson by him instead!"
Zhang Yuan said again, "Hey buddy, how about we go get some dinner?"
Wang Dadan glanced furtively at Xue'er as she walked away; in fact, his eyes hadn't left her the entire time. He swallowed hard and said, "Sure!"
What kind of person was Jin Qi? He'd spent four years with the lecherous Lao Si! Just by looking at Wang Dadan and Zhang Gan's lecherous expressions, he knew they were lecherous devils!
But, in broad daylight, what was there to be afraid of? Even if these two were bold, they wouldn't be so audacious as to be outrageous!
Jin Qi turned around and suddenly remembered, "Damn!" Back in Shencheng, he'd seen something online about two rapists who had escaped after serving two years in prison!
The images of those two slowly surfaced in his mind, and the more he thought about it, the more similar they seemed. Haha, he'd been wondering why Zhang Gan and Wang Dadan's upper bodies were so much darker than others; it wasn't the tan from exercise, but the result of doing hard labor in prison every day!
Two years of suppressed desire in prison necessitated an outlet. Seeing the beautiful Xue'er, he figured that in Pengcheng, outside the Great Wall, the security was poor, and he could commit a crime at night without anyone noticing! He planned to escape tomorrow – a clever scheme indeed!
Jin Qi had already vividly sketched out the inner thoughts of Zhang Gan and Wang Dadan, but Zhang Yuan remained oblivious!
Unfortunately, these two had run into him!
(Chapter 4018: Waiting for the opportune moment, locking down the two) The crowd had almost completely dispersed. Wang Dadan and his two companions left, following Xue'er at a distance, exiting through the back door. They were clearly both tracking Xue'er and looking for a place to eat dinner!
Zhang Yuan, honest and simple, was unaware that he had unwittingly become a pimp!
Jin Qi despised rapists and pedophiles the most. In any other place or at any other time, he'd simply kick them down, beat them half to death, give them a good beating, call the police, and that would be the end of it! But tonight, haha, he needed to get close to Xue'er and make a good impression on her, and it all depended on these two!
These two, though lewd, were likely to unintentionally lend him a hand!
It was truly a case of "searching high and low without finding it, only to have it fall into his lap effortlessly." He was finally going to be a protector of the flower on his first day at Qilin Company.
So, Jin Qi remained calm, went out the back door, and followed the three!
The back door of Qilin Company led to a food street, lined with five- or six-story buildings specifically for Qilin Company employees.
Xue'er had never liked living with others since she was little. She was already bored living in the dorms during college, and as soon as she started working, she rented a small one-bedroom apartment of 30 square meters.
Wang Dadan watched with lustful eyes as Xue'er parted ways with her female colleagues one by one, walked to the left of the third building about 200 meters from the back door, went inside, and three minutes later, the light on the fourth-floor room facing the street came on. He and Zhang Gan exchanged a knowing smile, their lewd intent obvious.
Zhang Yuan, completely unaware of what was happening, simply arranged to eat at a nearby restaurant. Jin Qi, also feeling at ease, sat not far from Zhang Yuan and the other two and ordered a bowl of beef noodles!
After the three finished eating, Wang Dadan laughed, "Zhang Yuan, thank you for your hospitality. We'll definitely pay you back the thousand yuan you borrowed! Now, go back to your dorm, change your clothes, pack your luggage, and we'll leave tonight!"
"Leave tonight? Why not stay a couple more days?"
Although Zhang Yuan didn't like these two classmates, he was still trying to save face by staying.
"No!"
Zhang Gan laughed, "We're going to the city's job fair tomorrow, we'll take the bus there tonight!"
Haha, all of this was overheard by Jin Qi, who was casually eating beef noodles nearby. Damn it, two rapists, escaped convicts, lying without even blushing?
Humph, taking a bus to the city tonight? I bet they just want to enjoy the first ice queen of Qilin Company, Xue'er, tonight!
The three of them ate dinner and indeed went back to the company. Jin Qi was satisfied, wiping his mouth, too lazy to follow them back. Anyway, those two lecherous wolves, Zhang Gan and Wang Dadan, had their eyes on Xue'er and would be back soon. He could just wait outside!
This way, he could conserve his energy and wait for the opportune moment!
It was already getting dark when Jin Qi suddenly chuckled, "Damn! I don't even have any luggage! Everything is still in Shenyang, I don't even know where I'm going to sleep tonight!"
He had just had this thought when he laughed!
Haha, should he go check out Xue'er's rented room? Maybe... if
he falls in love with Xue'er later, they'll live together!
This time, he'd better do some research first! This would give him a better chance of dealing with the two lecherous men!
He'd just been thinking about the icy beauty's boudoir, and it had gotten a sudden, impulsive impulse!
Jin Qi darted to the bottom of Building 3 on the left and sighed, "Ah! Xue'er's room is on the fourth floor. One road, three buildings on the fourth floor—the most unlucky floors! This little girl is truly innocent, she doesn't understand anything! Doesn't she know what taboos are?"
Seeing the downstairs door tightly closed, he simply snorted, produced a needle in his hand, and casually fiddled with the hidden lock. The lock creaked open!
Jin Qi quickly slipped inside, went up to the fourth floor, and seeing no one on the stairs, pressed his ear to the door to listen to the sounds inside. Xue'er's room was quiet, except for the sounds of pots and pans clattering, then Xue'er entering the bathroom, followed by the sound of running water. Haha, it turned out Xue'er had just finished dinner and was going to take a bath!
"This is truly heaven's help!"
he thought happily.
Jin Qi tried the same method again, unlocking the hidden lock on the door and pushing it, but it still wouldn't open. It turned out Xue'er had added a double lock behind the door. But how could that stump Jin Qi?
With just a few flicks of his needle, he opened the double lock – far more sophisticated than using a phone card! Jin Qi gave a wry smile: "This young girl does have some sense of security! But this double lock is so simple, what good is it? Even if two lecherous men came, they could easily open it. A lock can keep out gentlemen, but not scoundrels!"
Thinking this, he secretly spat, obviously not wanting to call himself a scoundrel!
Jin Qi quietly closed the door and saw that the room was a one-bedroom apartment. Although the living room was relatively small, it was compact and cozy, decorated in a pink ambiance. The bedroom contained a bed, complete with sheets, mattress, pillows, and other necessities. Adopting a "what's done is done" attitude, he sat down on the sofa, listening to the sound of running water in the bathroom. What
pleased Jin Qi most was that the dishes, pots, and pans were spotless, and everything was sparkling clean. Clearly, Xue'er had cooked and cleaned up herself. Haha, he hadn't expected this beautiful, aloof girl to be such a good cook!
He couldn't help but fantasize about the future, when the two of them came home from work, Xue'er would cook, and he would help out, enjoying each other's company, listening to the sounds of cooking while flirting! Then they would watch TV together, take a shower, and go to bed… how delightful that would be! …Jin Qi was, after all, just a mortal!
Chapter 4019 of "Not Seeing Bingbing": Self-Deception. The room was eerily quiet, save for the intermittent sounds of Xue'er undressing coming from the bathroom, "splashing..."
followed by a series of "splashing..."
The sound of water filled the air, accompanied by a thin mist of steam.
Despite his impeccable seriousness, Jin Qi was still a normal, virile young man, and his mind involuntarily began to conjure images of Xue'er undressing and bathing naked!
"...After taking a bath, Xue'er slowly walked out, completely naked. How wonderful that would be?"
Jin Qi continued his fantasy: "She lay quietly on the bed, smiling slightly. At that moment, a gentle breeze blew in, and the light gauze curtains were slightly lifted, vaguely revealing a section of Xue'er's delicate, fair neck, the alluring curves extending to her fragrant shoulders... She's seducing me!"
Jin Qi was completely intoxicated, continuing his fantasies: "...I left the sofa, picked her up, and carried her to the bed. Through the barely visible pink gauze, Xue'er was vaguely visible, kneeling in the middle of the bed, her skin incredibly white... And I knelt behind her, her slender waist swaying slowly, beads of sweat seeping from her fragrant skin, sliding down her thighs, drenched in sweat!"
He couldn't help but smile slightly: "Xue'er is sexy, and I myself am strong, with well-defined muscles, like... " Hard as iron, and what I couldn't stand the most was Xue'er's seemingly painful moans: "Seventh Young Master... Seventh Young Master... no..." Thinking of this, his heart raced, and he couldn't help but curse himself inwardly: "Damn it, so all boys are the same! Don't talk about that perverted Fourth Brother! I'm a pervert too!"
But then he thought again: "Hmph, might as well look. Since I'm already inside, and she's a beauty, why not look? I'm just a romantic, not some hypocrite who wants to sell himself and maintain a virtuous image."
So Jin Qi deceived himself, convinced himself, and tiptoed to the bathroom door, peeking inside. The bathroom door was slightly transparent glass; he knew that while the room was dark, the bathroom had light, so he wouldn't cast a shadow on the glass, but he was still very careful!
The steam in the bathroom grew thicker, obscuring Xue'er's vision. She gently pushed the door open a crack, just enough to blow away the steam. Though small, the gap was enough for Jin Qi to see everything clearly inside!
This sight made his heart pound even harder! He felt a physical reaction in his underwear!
His heart raced, his breathing almost stopped, and everything else seemed insignificant. He stared intently at Xue'er, who was washing her hair from the side, her hair covered in white foam. Her eyes were slightly closed, afraid of getting water in them!
Seeing Xue'er's closed eyes, Jin Qi boldly peered inside, his heart pounding in his chest!
A wave of heat rose in his lower body, his veins bulged, and his manhood rapidly swelled. The thin CK underwear he'd worn at noon, soaked with sweat, was now dry, but it seemed to have shrunk, unable to contain the swelling below!
It seemed the swelling was already subtly...
peeking out!
Jin Qi cursed inwardly, "Damn it, CK underwear was supposed to stay the same even after several washes, but it's clearly shrunk! It's so uncomfortable down there... I just wanted a place to put it. Damn it, I'll stick to domestic underwear from now on, they're cheaper, they're all the same anyway!"
He tried to swallow, but felt like something was stuck in his throat, and sweat was pouring down his forehead! He didn't dare raise his hand to wipe it, because making any noise would be disastrous!
Xue'er was facing away from Jin Qi, washing her hair and humming a song. Finally, she finished washing her hair, opened her eyes, and Jin Qi quickly moved away and lowered his head, but he could still see her clearly.
Xue'er continued humming a song, some popular song from recent years, he couldn't tell if it was from Taiwan or Hong Kong, and then turned to look in the mirror. Jin Qi could only see her back, not her face.
However, it was this back view that confirmed Jin Qi's earlier opinion: although Xue'er was an ice queen, she had an incredibly sexy figure!
What he saw was Xue'er's snow-white, high-perched, and full buttocks, as well as her sexy and alluring long legs and wasp waist. Xue'er's jade-like legs were completely hairless, even shinier than the legendary bald patches. Jin Qi nodded, thinking to himself, "Yes! Truly attractive! If a girl also had legs full of black hair, that would be terrible!"
But he himself was a man, and he had legs full of thick body hair, incredibly sexy.
Jin Qi was practically out of his body. He wanted to gently embrace Xue'er's fair and full body from behind, tightly grasp her mysterious breasts, and then press his erection against her back…
With his firmness, he was sure he could find a holy spring, a paradise on earth!
Thinking of this, he realized he couldn't control himself anymore; his throat went dry, his eyes shone, his body trembled, his breathing stopped, and his heart pounded!
Good heavens, thinking about it this way, my seven-quarter pants are already overflowing with yang energy!
Chapter 4020 of Not Seeing Bingbing: Appearing and disappearing, captivating and alluring. She was very satisfied with her face in the mirror, which was fair and flawless. She slowly turned around, went to the faucet, took the sprinkler in one hand, and wiped her body all over with the other hand, applying shower gel and making white foam circles, while still humming a song.
However, her songs had changed several times, and her style had also changed several times. Although she was entertaining herself, she was very engrossed in it. Jin Qi secretly praised her, "Xue'er must have a great karaoke voice. She can switch between these songs with ease. She's no less than many DJs in bars!"
However, at this moment, Jin Qi had no intention of listening to what Xue'er was singing. He was just staring at Xue'er with great interest. Besides her perfect figure and long, beautiful hair, she had snow-white skin, high breasts, a delicate face, full thighs, and a slender waist. And most mysteriously... her forest... was very lush. Warm water was flowing between her legs, making it even more alluring and seductive!
One could imagine that she was a young girl, and her lips below were as red as peach blossoms. How gentle they must be, waiting for a lover like Jin Qi?
Xue'er's breasts were snow-white, high, round, and large, standing straight. The two small red nipples were shiny and only the size of a little finger. Jin Qican really wanted to reach in and touch those intoxicatingly beautiful breasts. The thought made his lower body erect, his face flushed, his mouth watering, sweat pouring down his back, and his head buzzing.
All of this was perfectly coordinated—a sexy, icy beauty!
Jin Qican desperately suppressed his urge, swallowing hard. He could hear the rumbling in his stomach; the sweet, honey-like saliva felt pleasantly refreshing. "Gulp..."
Xue'er seemed to hear a sound, turning her head to look through the crack in the door. She whispered, "Who is it?"
As she asked, she walked over, slightly opening the bathroom door and peeking out. No one was in the living room!
Jin Qican, of course, quickly hid behind the sofa before she could peek out!
Seeing nothing amiss, Xue'er chuckled to herself, "I was just imagining things!"
She returned to the bathroom to continue tidying up.
Jin Qi got up, knowing that Xue'er was about to come out after washing up. He looked around and had already thought it over. He quickly went to the balcony, where there were several tall bonsai trees, more than a person tall, with lush branches and leaves. There were also curtains that reached the floor. He calculated the time and knew that Zhang Gan and Wang Dadan would be arriving soon. So he hid behind the trees!
A moment later, Xue'er emerged from the bathroom, drying her wet hair with a towel. She shook her head, turning it to one side so her hair cascaded down like a waterfall. She dried her hair with both hands, her face relaxed. Beneath her newly changed pajamas, the high, firm breasts were faintly visible, revealing smooth, white skin. All of this left Jin Qi on the balcony speechless, his mind a jumble of emotions, his throat constricted, and saliva gushing out, almost spilling from his mouth.
A romantic image flashed through his mind: he stood up, pulled Xue'er into his arms from behind, lowered his head, and kissed her sweet tongue deeply. He then wrapped his left arm around her waist, his right hand inside her clothes, tightly grasping her breasts, vigorously stroking and kneading them—the feeling was indescribable…
Both of them were drenched in sweat, their intimate contact threatening to ignite…
At this moment, whether a gentleman or a lecherous scoundrel, anyone with such a beautiful woman before them would be consumed by lust.
Unfortunately, this beautiful fantasy was about to shatter!
Chapter 4021 of "Not Seeing Bingbing": Underestimating the Enemy Leads to Inhaling Sleeping Gas. Just as Jin Qi was about to lose control, his mind wandering, imagining his passionate encounter with Xue'er, he suddenly noticed a flicker of light and a shifting shadow under the front door. Anyone else would have been oblivious, but Jin Qi, already alert, knew—"Hmph, a figure just passed by!" Judging from the deliberately low footsteps, it seemed Zhang Gan and Wang Dadan were approaching!
He quickly composed himself, focusing solely on protecting the beauty. His erection gradually subsided, and he was ready to enter "heroic rescue" mode!
However, Jin Qi was uncertain. Should he rush out and tell Xue'er?
But if he did, wouldn't that tell Xue'er that he had been peeping at her naked skin and watching her bathe? Wouldn't that make him a complete scoundrel in Xue'er's eyes? She had already seen his erection; how could he give her another bad impression?
Jin Qi was extremely conflicted!
At this moment, Xue'er turned on the TV. It was an entertainment program. Completely oblivious to the danger, she simply watched TV with a smile, her white legs slightly parted, radiating a seductive allure!
Suddenly, there was movement again from the crack in the floor under the door. A shadow flashed, and wisps of faint, white smoke drifted in, slowly floating across the living room and onto the balcony.
Jin Qi hadn't checked at first, but suddenly smelled it. His brow furrowed, and a wave of discomfort washed over him. He had only inhaled a small amount, yet he felt drowsy—undoubtedly a sleeping drug. He was shocked. He never imagined that Zhang Gan and Wang Dadan had not only entered unarmed but had also brought sleeping gas!
He cursed inwardly, "Damn it! My full gear is still in Shencheng. I've already inhaled some of this sleeping gas; I wonder if I'll pass out immediately? How could I underestimate these two rapists? They've escaped from prison! I underestimated them!"
He forced himself to stay upright, torn between whether to rush out and tell the still almost naked Xue'er that there were perverts outside.
***, caught off guard, she'd fallen for a scumbag's trap?
Xue'er, lying on the sofa, inhaled more white smoke, her head spinning. She cried out in alarm, "Ah... what's happening..."
Just then, with a "bang ,"
the door was flung open from the outside by two men using iron nails. Zhang Gan and Wang Dadan darted in, then slammed the door shut!
Would a scene of beasts humiliating the icy beauty Xue'er unfold?
SM? Childhood? Good
heavens, a threesome?
Xue'er was shocked. Her instinctive reaction was fear; she hurriedly stood up, asking in alarm, "You... who are you?"
Unfortunately, she had no strength left. She barely stood up before collapsing back onto the sofa. Even her hands, which had been covering her low-cut nightgown, were too weak to move. Her hands wobbled and fell, revealing her ample bosom!
This caused Zhang Gan and Wang Dadan's eyes to bloodshot! Veins bulged on their faces! Wow, such delicate skin, such a supple body?
Zhang Gan laughed heartily, "Truly a beauty!"
The two of them, eager to get here and humiliate the beauty, hadn't even showered before Zhang Yuanyuan's intense basketball game. Now, they were covered in sweat and stench...
even Jin Qi on the balcony felt nauseous from the smell. But, coincidentally, the stench helped to neutralize some of the effects of the sleeping potion.
Xue'er was frightened and powerless, only able to be angry, her anger rising uncontrollably. Her chest heaved, her alluring, curvaceous body becoming even more tempting. Her pajamas fell to the floor, revealing her jet-black hair cascading over her shoulders like a waterfall. Her bright, watery eyes flashed with terror and fright. Her willow-leaf eyebrows arched slightly, her eyes troubled, her face anxious. Her cherry lips parted, but she couldn't speak, only managing to stammer, "You... you... hooligans... lawless... get out! Help..."
As she finished speaking, the sleeping potion's effects intensified, and she had no strength left!
Wang Dadan was very satisfied and laughed, "Zhang Gan, see, this sleeping powder really works! It wasn't for nothing that we spent five hundred silver dollars on it! Once you're under its influence, even a cow will be completely unconscious within fifteen minutes!"
Jin Qi was shocked to hear how powerful the sleeping powder was! He was extremely anxious and knew that circulating his internal energy was the best course of action!
Seeing that Xue'er was about to faint, Zhang Gan laughed loudly, "Beautiful lady, I noticed you on the sports field today! That damn blue-shirted prince of mine doesn't know how to cherish a lady, and he won't come to keep you company tonight? Let us satisfy you!"
"Yes, we'll definitely care about you even more than your prince!"
Wang Dadan was also incredibly lewd, and he walked over with a lewd grin. As he walked, he began to take off his basketball t-shirt and shorts.
In just a moment, the two of them were stripped down to only their underwear!
It seemed they intended to force themselves on her!
Chapter 4022 of "Not Seeing Bingbing": A sure thing, even thieves have their code. Xue'er trembled, her alluring breasts outlining a graceful arc. An unprecedented fear rose in her heart!
Just one touch from these two scoundrels would be a lifelong humiliation; she would rather die than be touched!
Don't let her gentle appearance fool you; she's incredibly fierce!
Zhang Gan had already reached Xue'er's side. Upon seeing her body, his breathing quickened uncontrollably. Numerous lewd scenes flashed before his eyes, obscene thoughts flooding his mind. A burning sensation surged within him. He was a crude man; his underwear was already bulging, and he wanted to reach out and touch her!
Xue'er wanted to cry but had no tears. In her dazed state, she cried out, "...Help!...There are...there are scoundrels!...Help!"
Her low cries only fueled Zhang Gan and Wang Dadan's burning lust!
Wang Dadan laughed heartily, then suddenly reached out to hug Xue'er's soft, slender waist, wanting to pull her delicate, boneless body into his arms. He imagined how wonderful it would be to roughly knead and rub her, then find the beautiful student's fragrant, red lips, pry open her shyly closed teeth, and then entwine her smooth, tender, and adorable tongue with a frenzied sucking. But
a strong, foul stench assaulted Xue'er's nostrils. Even from two feet away, she couldn't bear the stench and gasped for breath. She hurriedly closed her lips tightly and shook her head violently to avoid the merciless wolfish kiss that was about to follow!
Zhang Gan went straight to the point, laughing heartily as he reached down with his right hand, aiming for Xue'er's lower body! His plan was to first grab Xue'er, lock her behind her back, then grab one of her jade-like legs, flip her over, spread her legs, and press his thick waist between her thighs, ready to strike...
lewdness deserves divine punishment!
Zhang Gan and Wang Dadan's mouths and hands were only half a foot away from Xue'er's snow-white skin!
Just when things were extremely urgent and at the critical moment, Jin Qi suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes gleaming with a sharp light. He had finished adjusting his breathing for a while; the sleeping potion hadn't knocked him out yet!
Seeing the urgency of the situation, he disregarded the need to completely expel the sleeping gas from his body and roared, "Get out!"
With that, he strode in, his arms outstretched, suddenly grabbing Zhang Gan and Wang Dadan by the back of their necks. He then lifted them above their heads and slammed them down like beanbags in a game. Both men screamed, "Ah!"
With a muffled thud, their bodies hit the roof, their heads slamming heavily against the floor, instantly swelling up!
Then, like a pile of scrap metal, they fell to the ground with a thud!
Jin Qi, having used too much force, gasped for breath and stumbled back a step. His vision blurred, his legs went weak, and he collapsed, leaning against Xue'er's sofa, panting. Alas, this time he hadn't realized he'd been ambushed; he'd truly fallen flat
on his face! He slightly raised his head and was immediately stunned by Xue'er's snow-white, towering breasts!
Xue'er was initially excited to see her savior, but upon seeing Jin Qi, who had come in from the balcony, she felt a surge of despair. She remembered seeing him before, on the basketball court! She
vividly recalled his lecherous look when he stared at her, and…
he even had an erection right in front of her! A strong physical urge—he was a pervert!
But… he was handsome!
Xue'er desperately tried to shrink back. Luckily, the handsome pervert behind her had helped her earlier, preventing them from touching her. But now? This man seemed dazed, as if he'd been drugged. Who could protect her now?
Zhang Gan crouched down, landing on the ground without hesitation. He and Wang Dadan turned their backs, both screaming in pain, then quickly stood up. They rubbed the back of their heads with their left hands, while their right hands flashed out a foot-long dagger and a gleaming watermelon knife, respectively!
These two men weren't just rapists; after escaping from prison, they traveled south, committing countless atrocities, their hands already stained with blood!
"Haha!"
Wang Dadan rubbed the back of his head, wincing in pain, yet still grinned maliciously, "So there were voyeurs hiding on the balcony, how interesting!"
Zhang Gang was even more enraged, "I didn't expect that besides my brother, there were others spying on us too! You son of a bitch, even thieves have their code of honor, let's have some order, why are you hitting us?"
Seeing Jin Qi remain silent, slumped against the sofa, pale and panting, Wang Dadan knew Jin Qi had been drugged and was only managing to attack with barely enough focus!
He was consumed by lust and didn't care about this kid.
So he took two steps forward and raised his knife! A clean break would be much more satisfying!
Xue'er cried out, "You... what are you going to do... kill me..."
She almost fainted again!
Wang Dadan originally intended to strike with his sword, but fearing Jin Qi might feign unconsciousness, he instead kicked Jin Qi first. With a loud "thud," the kick struck Jin Qi's right shinbone!
"Ah!"
Jin Qi cried out in pain, his shinbone nearly broken. Sweat beaded on his forehead.
"Hmph, now you can't even save yourself, yet you still want to be a hero? Haha! Die!"
Wang Dadan grinned savagely, his face filled with murderous intent. He knew Jin Qi was powerless to resist. His left hand reached for Xue'er's milky-white breasts, while his right hand swung his sword fiercely at Jin Qi!
How cunning! Two birds with one stone!
Especially the strike aimed at Jin Qi's neck—a fatal blow!
Xue'er, consumed by rage, believed Jin Qi couldn't save her either; she was doomed to be violated and defiled, and that she would die in the room today!
Overwhelmed by anger, Xue'er's head buzzed, and she fainted!
Chapter 4023 of "Unseen Bingbing": Xuan Bili Zun, killing the two was indeed swift, but unfortunately, for Jin Qi, a young cultivator with soaring Yang energy, it was too late, far too late!
Jin Qi had indeed almost collapsed earlier, but he had been secretly circulating his energy. Once his power recovered by even ten percent, these two would be nothing! They would simply die!
He endured the kick without retaliating, secretly regulating his breathing. Hearing that Xue'er was actually worried about him, he was overjoyed, which gave him even more motivation to cultivate!
The kick he received later actually helped him a great deal. In the midst of the pain, he saw stars, and his potential greatly increased!
Even a cornered dog will jump over a wall! Let alone a young cultivator like Jin Qi with soaring Yang energy?
Now that he had recovered, seeing Wang Dadan touching Xue'er and slashing at him with his knife, attempting to kill two birds with one stone, he suddenly exhaled and shouted, "Die!"
Jin Qi suddenly raised his right hand, drawing three mysterious circles in the air, their light flashing, and then swung them towards Wang Dadan's left hand, right hand, and neck!
In an instant, Wang Dadan was paralyzed, his neck tightened, his eyes rolled back, and he was being strangled!
His hands were only two inches from Xue'er, and even in death, they never reached those two inches! His eyes bulged, his face turned red, and veins stood out!
Zhang Gan was initially surprised. What was Jin Qi up to? What kind of magic appeared in the air with a flick of his hand? What good was it?
But when he suddenly saw that Wang Dadan wasn't breathing and his head was slumped limply, he reacted and thrust his dagger at Jin Qi!
Normally, Jin Qi could kick Zhang Gan ten feet away with a single kick, but now, he had no strength left. Strangling Wang Dadan had exhausted the strength Jin Qi had just recovered. He couldn't dodge in time, and Zhang Gan pierced his left arm, leaving it a bloody mess, with blood flowing freely!
However, he also had to thank the pain and blood. Jin Qi clenched his teeth, the blood flowing out, and his spirits lifted. His strength had actually recovered by ten percent. What was there to fear from Zhang Gan now?
He laughed heartily, and with a flick of his left hand, a halo of mysterious yellow light appeared, directly encircling Zhang Gan's neck. Only then did Zhang Gan understand how Wang Dadan had died; the dagger in his hand could no longer be thrust out!
In less than twenty seconds, Jin Qi had strangled Zhang Gan to death!
A rapist, escaped from prison—he deserved to die!
Jin Qi was panting heavily, almost collapsing. He thought, "Damn, this fight was even more shocking than killing the Three Wolves of Changbai Mountain!
I'll have to be careful in the future, don't fall for it!" This sleeping gas, for an hour, truly leaves one with no energy whatsoever!
He looked up at the ceiling, thinking, "While the fight was taking place in Xue'er's room, there must have been neighbors calling the police or watching!"
He forced himself to sit up, opened the door, but found it empty. He sighed, "This Pengcheng, indeed, while economically developed, has lost all human warmth and the world is cold-hearted. At this moment of fighting, not a single person cares! The steel and concrete of the city truly reflect the coldness of people's hearts!"
He felt utterly weak and powerless. Having killed the two rapists, Wang Dadan and Zhang Gan, the effects of the sleeping powder kicked in again!
Jin Qi's eyelids were already drooping, and he was drowsy, but…
he knew he couldn't fall! He still hadn't disposed of the bodies of Zhang Gan and Wang Dadan!
If Xue'er woke up tomorrow morning and saw them, she would be terrified for the rest of her life! He couldn't let his beloved beauty be afraid!
Helpless, Jin Qi gathered his last bit of magical power, his fingers converging as he chanted, "Fate comes from destiny, death returns to death; worldly ties are severed, return to emptiness.
Heaven and earth, lend me your strength; the vast universe, send you on your journey.
Rise..."
Suddenly, the corpses of Zhang Gan and Wang Dadan rose, flying outwards from the balcony and into the night sky!
Jin Qi knew the location of the security guards when he entered the Qilin Company, so sending the two corpses directly to the guard booth!
Then, almost collapsing, he gritted his teeth, forcefully picked up Xue'er, and shakily kicked open her bedroom door, placing her on the bed!
Finally, he couldn't hold on any longer, no longer wanting to look at Xue'er's alluring body. Caught off guard by the sleeping potion, he nearly capsized. Jin Qi's head lolled to the side, unconscious, and he fell asleep beside Xue'er!
Their faces and hands touched sideways, and Xue'er's face was directly against Jin Qi's crotch!
"Ugh, so tired! Those two damn rapists actually saw Xue'er's naked body! But thankfully, they never touched an inch of Xue'er's skin before they died! Xue'er is mine!"
With this thought in his mind, Jin Qi felt sweet but also fell into a deep sleep.
Chapter 5001 of Passing the Interview: A Frightened Bird, Blank Explanation *Ding...ding...*
The alarm clock on the desk rang frantically!
The time was 7:30 AM!
Qilin Company starts work at 8:30 AM, and Xue'er usually gets up at 7:30 AM. Today, she was suddenly awakened by the alarm clock!
Still immersed in yesterday's nightmare, like a frightened bird, the first thing she noticed upon opening her eyes was a hard object pressed against her face! It was hot, burning her face!
She quickly got up, almost crying. It was a strange boy, right at his crotch! His very, very prominent genitals!
Could it be that all night, her face had been pressed against a boy's private parts, even through his pants! But the friction, the slight movement, it was truly embarrassing…
Her face flushed red, and the thought of his pants made her scream, because that was when she realized she was… Naked!
Xue'er jumped up hastily, grabbed some clothes, and looked back at the boy, stunned. This was the same boy who had been sexually aroused and rude to her on the basketball court yesterday—the boy with handsome eyebrows, handsome eyes, and handsome skin.
Too bad he was a pervert!
And last night, he had suddenly crawled into her room from the balcony!
Her eyes widened, and she burst into tears, because she saw a large patch of deep red on her pink sheets—blood! Pink!
After all, she was highly educated, and seeing blood on the sheets, she assumed they had slept together in a daze last night! This was unacceptable, unimaginable to her!
She pulled back her legs and unconsciously touched her body with both hands. Only when she felt no pain, especially in her lower body, did she breathe a sigh of relief: "It wasn't me!" Her
face flushed slightly. Now that she knew Jin Qi was here, what happened last night wasn't a dream; it was real!
Xue'er cautiously glanced into the living room again. There was nothing left of Zhang Gan or Wang Dadan; neither alive nor dead! She breathed a sigh of relief. Where were those two burly, rude thugs? Those thugs who deserved to die?
She was unharmed; it seemed this boy had protected her!
But damn it, how did he end up in her bed, and her face and his crotch… How embarrassing!
Just then, the alarm clock went off a second time, and Jin Qi woke up, opening his eyes. The knife wound on his arm and the injury to his waist and leg were very painful. He woke up with a cry of pain!
He saw Xue'er standing by his bed, holding her phone like a weapon, looking at him with a terrified expression. If he didn't behave, Xue'er would probably smash the phone at him. Jin Qi couldn't help but laugh and say, "Xue'er, you look better in clothes than naked!" "
This is utterly absurd, a true scoundrel's act.
Xue'er fainted; this guy is a real scoundrel! Who would have thought that his first words upon waking would be this!
She grabbed her pink phone and bombarded Jin Qi with calls: 'You're a scoundrel! A scoundrel!'
Jin Qi quickly raised his left hand to block, stopping the bleeding from his wound, but his arm was still covered in blood—a huge patch!
Xue'er saw the wound
and had no choice but to stop, asking in a tearful voice, 'You scoundrel, why are you sleeping in my bed?'
'Ah...didn't the bad guys use sleeping gas last night? You just collapsed, and after dealing with them, I was too weak to move either. I carried you in, put you on the bed, and then I passed out!'
Jin Qi said irritably, not expecting the ice queen to be such a wild girlfriend!
Xue'er cried, 'You carried me? Then you must have seen...'
She was both angry and anxious; this guy must have seen me completely naked!
Jin Qi nodded and smiled, 'Of course I saw! To save you, of course I saw!'" "If you feel you've been taken advantage of, haha, I'll strip naked and let you see!"
With that, he pretended to take off his t-shirt!
Xue'er turned away in fright, saying, "Okay, stop taking it off!"
Jin Qi laughed, "Now you believe I didn't mean to offend you, right?"
Xue'er didn't believe this scoundrel. He had sexually provoked her on the basketball court, and when she woke up this morning, this despicable guy had an erection right in her face!
And then, remembering something, she said, "Why did you appear from the balcony last night? Were you peeping at me while I was showering?"
Jin Qi would never admit to that!
"No way! I was walking down the street when I heard cries for help from your house, so I jumped in! Don't think five or six zhang is that high! Of course I can jump in!" "
Jin Qi hurriedly explained, knowing that girls hate lecherous men who peep on them while they shower.
Xue'er remained silent. An ordinary person probably couldn't have jumped up there, but since Jin Qi had managed to chase those two scoundrels away, it seemed he truly possessed some kind of supernatural power!
She simply tore off the sheet stained with Jin Qi's blood, put it in the washing machine, and said, 'Go sit outside for a bit!'"
Jin Qi got up, his right leg was in great pain, and he walked with a limp. Xue'er saw the bad guy kick his right foot last night and heard his screams. She knew it wasn't fake and sighed.
He had only sat down to rest for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea when Xue'er brought over two glasses of milk, two large slices of instant bread, and an egg. She gave Jin Qi one glass of milk, one slice of bread, and one egg, asking, "This is for your breakfast. Thank you for saving me! Where are those bad guys from last night?"
Jin Qi couldn't help but lie, saying, "They? I've already dealt with them! I handed them over to the police! Xue'er, don't worry!"
Xue'er continued, "Thank you for saving my life! Are you an employee of our company? What's your name? By the way, how did you know my name?"
"My name is Jin Qi, but everyone calls me Seventh Young Master! I'm not from your company! However, I just graduated from university and am applying for a job there! As for your name, I learned it from everyone talking about you when we were playing basketball! Xue'er, the number one beauty in Qilin Company!"
Xue'er asked a series of questions, and Jin Qi answered them all without missing a single one.
Xue'er lowered her head, smiling shyly, "They were just saying."
Then, Jin Qi laughed, "This breakfast is good. I didn't expect you to be so virtuous. From now on, you can make breakfast for me every day!"
Xue'er pretended to hit him again, but seeing his injury, she refrained and held back!
The two then ate their meal in silence.
After finishing his meal, Jin Qi went to the small balcony/kitchen to wash the bloody wound on his arm. The bleeding had stopped long ago. He then washed his face a little and said, "Xue'er, take me to your company to check out the location. I'm going for a job interview tomorrow!"
Xue'er was also going to work and wanted to see what Jin Qi was capable of. She didn't like him just because he lacked martial arts skills; she wanted to see if he was all talk and no action. If he could actually get into her Qilin Company based on his abilities, that would be impressive!
She nodded, and the two locked the door and went out!
Chapter 5002: Covert Secrets - After passing the interview, Tianxuan Qi walked with a limp, completely lacking the high spirits of yesterday. He couldn't help but deliberately say, "Xue'er, look, the first day I met you, you were already injured. You're really my nemesis!"
Xue'er pouted, "I didn't ask you for anything!"
She pointed to the distant office building and said, "That's the Human Resources Department. If you want to apply, go there! But, you're in really bad shape today, you can't go!"
Jin Qi knew this, of course. He nodded and smiled, "Thank you for reminding me. I'll go back today to prepare my luggage and documents, including my graduation certificate, and come for the interview tomorrow!"
"Go back today and come tomorrow? Where are your documents and certificates?"
Xue'er asked.
"Shencheng!"
"Shencheng?"
Xue'er asked in surprise, "Thousands of miles round trip, you can make it back in a day?"
Jin Qi ignored her and returned a bright smile, "Yes, Ice Queen, see you tomorrow!"
After he finished speaking, he limped away again. Xue'er asked from afar, "Jin Qi, what did you call me?"
"Ice Queen!"
Jin Qi replied from a distance!
Xue'er's heart stirred. She turned around and finally smiled at Jin Qi for the first time. Hmph, Ice Queen? Not an unflattering nickname!
After Jin Qi left the company and disappeared, she turned and walked towards the office building. She actually worked there!
When Jin Qi passed the security booth, he was surprised that the work inside seemed completely undisturbed by the discovery of the two corpses that had fallen from the sky. He thought to himself, "There must be something strange about this. I'll find out later!"
Needless to say, Jin Qi flew back and forth for two hours on his sword to Shencheng University to retrieve various documents, materials, and a small bag of clothes; needless to say, once he returned to Shencheng, Jin Qi quickly treated his injuries. All these trivial matters were forgotten.
That night, Jin Qi tossed and turned, unable to sleep, all because of Xue'er, whom he had only known for a day. Yet, that one day was truly unforgettable!
He thought of Xue'er's soft, jade-like breasts, the end of a paradise…
The next morning, Jin Qi once again flew to the outside of Qilin Company in Pengcheng, wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, his hair combed, and carrying his English Level 4 and Level 6 certificates, graduation certificate, degree certificate, and computer certificate, to apply for a job at Qilin Company's Human Resources Department.
Damn it, although he had supernatural abilities and decent cultivation, a certificate was still essential for finding a job. Fortunately, during his university years, he had managed to cultivate while simultaneously pursuing beautiful girls, and he had managed to obtain all these certificates!
When he entered the company, it was only a little before 8:30 in the morning, but the heat had already begun. Jin Qi nodded to himself, "Hmph! The feng shui of this Qilin Company is now confirmed; it's a Seven Deadly Ground! The factory layout is in the shape of the Qilin spirit beast! My master summoned me here, so there must be some secret. This is also my serious business, and I can't be negligent! After entering the company, I'll catch up with Xue'er while investigating this strange feng shui!"
When he arrived at the office building, he felt something was amiss. Upon closer inspection, he was stunned. The office building was built in the very center of the Seven Deadly Ground, the Tianxuan position!
Huh? Why?
Logically speaking, even if we disregard others, the Qilin Prince is proficient in the art of Qimen Dunjia. There must be a master lurking in the company. Why is the main entrance arranged like this, facing southwest, towards the Death Gate?
Just as he was lost in thought, someone patted him on the shoulder. He turned around and was pleasantly surprised to see Xue'er!
Chapter 5003 Passing the Interview: A Master in the Kitchen, A Master in the Living Room. Last night I was so scared that I had to add two locks to the door before I could finally sleep. But I still didn't sleep well, and I still looked tired. However, when I saw Jin Qi, I still smiled and said, "You! You really look presentable today? Did you really come for the job interview?"
Indeed, Jin Qi was wearing a white shirt, black trousers, a black belt around his waist, and shiny black leather shoes. Clothes make the man, and anyone dressed like that would look more energetic, let alone a handsome man like Jin Qi.
Jin Qi, unconvinced, took out his identification documents and showed them to Xue'er one by one. Only then did Xue'er abandon her contempt and laugh, "So you really are a graduate of a top-tier 985 university!"
Jin Qi quickly laughed back, "Haha, no need to doubt me anymore. Did you think I was just a scoundrel?"
Xue'er blushed and snapped, "You are a scoundrel, a damn scoundrel!"
She then added, "Give me your resume, I'll help you apply for a job!"
Jin Qi was slightly taken aback: "You?"
"I work in human resources!"
Xue'er said irritably, adding, "You're really biting the hand that feeds you!"
Just then, two girls passed by and nodded to Xue'er, greeting her, "Hello, Section Chief Ouyang!"
"Section Chief Ouyang?"
Jin Qi asked, puzzled. "Who?"
Xue'er pinched Jin Qi playfully. "My surname is Ouyang!"
Jin Qi immediately understood and was overjoyed. Xue'er was beautiful and sexy. If she was a white-collar section chief in human resources, she would be perfect. She was exactly his dream girl—capable in both public and domestic settings!
This kind of girl was different from other girls and deserved to be pursued and protected for a lifetime!
He was overjoyed and quickly gave Ouyang Xue'er his resume!
As for his purpose in coming to Qilin Company—to investigate the secrets of feng shui and deal with the Seven Deadly Grounds—Jin Qi hadn't told Xue'er. Sometimes, even men have their unspeakable secrets!
"I didn't deceive her!"
Jin Qi reassured himself, then suddenly remembered something and caught up with Xue'er, asking, "Xue'er, how did you find me? Did you notify me? I don't even have your phone number!"
Xue'er smiled slightly: "What? You want my phone number?"
"Yes, yes!"
Jin Qi nodded and bowed; lowering his stance was only right to get a beautiful woman's phone number!
"Hmph, your resume has your phone number on it, I'll notify you later! Hmph, why do you want my phone number? You pervert!"
Xue'er ignored him! He rolled his eyes at her and walked away with small, quick steps!
Who says beautiful women are all big-breasted and brainless? Ouyang Xue'er was definitely not like that!
Jin Qi was both amused and exasperated; in broad daylight, he dared not do anything to Xue'er!
Despite having seen every inch of this beautiful woman, from head to toe, clearly and thoroughly!
Chapter 5004 of "Passing the Interview": Rushing to the Interview, Trying It Out. Qilin Company has experienced explosive growth in recent years. Therefore, in addition to recruiting fresh graduates twice a year in October and March at major 985 and 211 universities across the country, they also conduct large-scale social recruitment every weekend at the Shenzhen Talent Market. However, with the company's continuous expansion and explosive growth in performance, far exceeding the expansion of university enrollment, the recruitment of fresh graduates often falls short of the plan. Coupled with the relatively low efficiency of the talent market, Qilin Company's Human Resources Department has started posting recruitment information online. Interested elites can directly come to Qilin Company for an interview!
Every Friday is the day the company publicly recruits!
"Damn, what's that over there? Why are so many people going over there?"
Jin Qi walked into the lobby reception area of Qilin Company. It was 9:00 AM, and Ouyang Xue'er had already gone to work. He saw groups of people coming in from the door, dressed neatly, even in summer they were wearing suits and ties. Most of them were in a hurry, didn't know each other, and were just carrying transparent bags of resumes, pens and paper. They all went to the side hall on the first floor!
Jin Qi saw that the two young girls at the reception desk were dressed up. Although they were not yet twenty years old, they wore heavy makeup and business attire, looking much more mature, but still pleasing to the eye.
Bored, he stepped forward and chuckled, "Hey beautiful, what are all those people doing over there?"
The receptionist in her black uniform had a name tag on her chest, which Jin Qi, with his sharp eyes, had already noticed. It read: "Shan Shanshan." Hearing Jin Qi's question, she quickly replied with a smile, "They're going over there for job interviews. Our company has a recruitment hall in the side hall on the first floor. Every Friday, hundreds of people come to apply. The job postings are posted directly online!"
Shan Shanshan wore a professional smile, revealing six pearly teeth and two dimples, perfectly proportioned. Actually, she and her companion had been secretly watching Jin Qi since he entered the company entrance. After all, most job postings were for experienced, overweight, middle-aged men in their thirties, and young, handsome men like Jin Qi were a rare sight!
Especially someone as dashing as him today! He stood out from the crowd!
Jin Qi smiled and said, "Thank you! I understand!"
He thought to himself, "Anyway, I'm waiting for Xue'er's message, and I have nothing to do for a while, so why not go in and take a look?"
He continued with a smile, "It's strange, why did Qilin Company set up its recruitment location in the main office building?"
If someone else had asked, Shan Shanshan wouldn't have answered, but the charm of a handsome man is undeniable. She smiled knowingly and said, "I don't know the specific reason either. But I heard from the leaders that those applying are all senior managers. Putting it in this office building allows them to directly experience the atmosphere of our international company!"
"International company?"
Jin Qi couldn't help but chuckle inwardly. "A nouveau riche, a company less than ten years old, and they call themselves an international company? There are so few century-old brands in China!"
However, Qilin Company's choice to hold its recruitment in the headquarters office building—this grandeur and confidence—was clearly ingenious. Applicants would be immediately interested upon arriving, and even if they
didn't get the job, they could easily become popular by talking about it and introducing it to others in the industry!
Its rapid rise in just ten years naturally indicates it has its own unique strategy!
Jin Qi politely bid farewell to Shan Shanshan, muttering, "Since I'm already here, and I'm bored anyway, why not take a look?" Although he was quite confident in himself today, he still went to the laundry room on the first floor for a quick check-up—image was important! His master had ordered him to join Qilin Company, and he dared not disobey!
Qilin Company's restrooms were damn clean! Several times more luxurious than the restrooms in Carrefour and Walmart in Shenyang, which was related to the fact that Jin Qi rarely visited the suite restrooms of star-rated hotels. "Hmm, judging from the cleanliness of the restrooms, Qilin Company is not bad!"
Jin Qi nodded. He generally had the habit of judging personal conduct and company hygiene by looking at the restrooms. If a restaurant's restroom was filthy, he would never eat out! This was also why he would never take the train during the Spring Festival—the crowds and congestion were secondary; it was just that the restrooms were incredibly dirty!
Looking up, Jin Qi saw the young man in the mirror, impeccably dressed, with sharp features, his collar and cuffs spotless. He twirled around in front of the mirror a couple of times, feeling quite pleased with himself! Only his leather shoes, after traveling thousands of miles, were a little dirty. He then remembered, "Damn, I haven't washed them in days!" So, he quickly grabbed a thick stack of absorbent paper from the Qilin Company restroom, ran to the tap, and quickly scrubbed his shoes until they shone!
Then, Jin Qi looked in the mirror again. "Hmm, a handsome young man, full of youthful vigor." That was his self-assessment.
(Chapter 5005: Passing the Interview - Amidst the Excitement, Experiencing Worries) As a young cultivator, how could he be bothered by the tedious matter of job hunting? However, during his senior year, he had accompanied his roommates on several job hunting trips, though each time he only stayed until they reached the job market and then left!
The lewd fourth brother asked in surprise, "Seventh brother, why aren't you busy looking for a job?"
Jin Qi smiled but didn't answer. The world was vast and free; breathing freely under the moonlight or atop a mountain was incredibly liberating. Later, when he returned to Shenyang and told his roommates that he had signed with the prestigious Qilin Company, the other seven were utterly stunned. The lewd fourth brother exclaimed, "So you were already confident you could sign with such a famous company!"
They were busy looking for jobs, their focus different from Jin Qi's; naturally, they knew of Qilin Company's high standing in the industry!
Clearly, Jin Qi had been thoroughly exploited, being treated to several lavish meals over two days—but that's another story.
"Since there's a chance to witness the recruitment process today, and for free, why not go?"
Jin Qi was overjoyed and couldn't help but laugh.
Going to the job market to find a job is a must for college graduates whose parents don't have connections or are not wealthy. With the expansion of university enrollment like a floodgate being opened, the number of graduates increases year by year, making it an even greater ordeal!
For the past few months, Jin Qi has watched helplessly as his six roommates, except for Lao Ba who was recommended for graduate school, struggled to find jobs. Now, he finally has the opportunity to try it himself!
"Xue'er probably wouldn't lie to me. She likely has at least an interview opportunity, but I still want to treat this interview as the most formal job search!"
Jin Qi was both excited and excited to experience the job search process, but he also reminded himself to be very attentive.
The large, gilded characters on the left side of the first floor entrance of Qilin Company, "Qilin Company On-site Recruitment Office," gleamed brightly. The doors were wide open, and while there wasn't much noise inside, the hushed conversations were still audible. They were quite restrained; after all, these were seasoned professionals who had worked in Shenzhen for years, unlike fresh graduates who would react with extreme joy or anger!
Jin Qi thought to himself, "In the past, job fairs were always packed with people at the entrance! That shows how abundant China's talent pool is! Today it's not crowded, thank goodness!"
He stepped forward and saw a notice board at the entrance listing the departments and offices Qilin Company was recruiting for this week, along with job requirements and entry conditions and different benefits: 1. Overseas returnees and PhD graduates have priority and can go directly to the interview room; 2. Bachelor's or associate's degree holders with more than three years of work experience can interview directly at the counter; 3. Recent graduates should carefully consider the positions before applying to avoid wasting their time; 4. Those with less than an associate's degree are not allowed to enter.
Jin Qi couldn't help but curse inwardly, "Hmph, they specifically listed recent graduates. Sigh, what a sad reality! Looks like I'll have to be careful today! If a recent graduate comes to the company, it'll be a huge hassle for them. Hmph, no consideration at all!"
He was initially full of confidence, but now he hesitated. He'd try anyway; if it didn't work out, luckily there was Xue'er…
hopefully she could help!
The event started at 9:00 AM, and there were currently about twenty departments with booths, each with about ten people in line, though some popular booths had more than twenty.
Jin Qi was in the crowd and noticed several people around him queuing with grim faces, but secretly pushing their way in. The summer air, despite the air conditioning in the hall, was incredibly stuffy. Seeing this, Jin Qi quickly slipped out of the line. He was afraid of getting his pristine white shirt dirty; getting in first wouldn't get him a prize, so why rush? It was better to maintain a presentable appearance and make a good impression on the employers.
In his mind, a dirty shirt would certainly affect his job search and interviews, but most importantly, he couldn't let Ouyang Xue'er see him looking disheveled and haggard.
(Chapter 5006: Details Matter, Success or Failure, Determined by Appearance) Jin Qi studied mechanical engineering at D University, but during his junior year internship, he worked in the advertising industry for three months, something he somewhat enjoyed.
He had seen the recruitment posters outside earlier. Today, Qilin Company was only recruiting for two departments, some related to copywriting and planning, and only two planning positions were available. Jin Qi glanced at the bustling crowd at the recruitment site, licked his lips, and thought, "Damn, a 22% chance. Haha, I'll have to give it my all."
He had previously asked his advisor at D University's Mechanical Engineering Department what jobs a mechanical engineering graduate could do.
The advisor raised an eyebrow: "Lots of options! Manufacturing, process engineering, design, etc. Every year, D University's mechanical engineering program has the best employment rate! Even those who haven't passed the CET-4 are highly sought after!"
Jin Qi scoffed, thinking, "Come on! Going to some crappy steel company in some cold, desolate place, where 1200 RMB a month is considered employment? I'd rather not work!"
Therefore, he didn't even want to take the usual mechanical engineering jobs!
Actually, did he even need to look for a job? If his classmates knew his situation, they would be so envious!
Therefore, he chose to do advertising during his internship, but his future job was in human resources, which was completely unrelated to mechanics. It was truly absurd and ironic. Perhaps, in all of China, the percentage of college graduates who end up working in their field of study is extremely small!
Now, Jin Qi is in the middle of the lobby, queuing in front of a recruitment booth called "Company President's Office." They are recruiting for the company's corporate culture promotion and planning positions. There are already eight or nine people waiting there. The recruiters are a middle-aged man and a young girl. The man is standing, and the girl is standing. As the saying goes, teamwork makes the dream work, and besides, the girl is quite pretty, around eighteen or nineteen years old, and very attractive. She is obviously the middle-aged man's assistant!
With a beautiful woman beside him, the middle-aged man should have been happy, but instead, he looked like he had a deep-seated grudge, asking one tricky question after another with a serious expression. Sitting across from him was a young man, though he was actually three or four years older than Jin Qi. However, the young man seemed a little nervous facing a giant like Qilin Company, constantly wiping sweat from his hands on his trouser legs. The entire interview lasted less than three minutes. As the young man turned to leave, the middle-aged man drew a heavy red X on his resume.
A striking, alarming X!
"Red is an ominous sign!"
For some reason, this thought suddenly popped into Jin Qi's head, startling him!
An hour later, it was finally Jin Qi's turn. He respectfully handed over his resume, mimicking his roommates who were always on edge when looking for jobs, and gave the head instructor a humble smile.
Although he wasn't as desperate for the job as the other applicants, he had to put on a convincing act!
"Sit!"
The middle-aged man was focused on the resume Jin Qi handed over, not even glancing up at Jin Qi. The young girl next to him smiled and gestured for Jin Qi to sit.
Jin Qi's eyes widened in surprise; he had already clearly seen
the name tag hanging on the man's chest: "President's Office, Publicity Department, Ma Leitao." He thought to himself, "This guy must be the department head!"
Because when he was behind him, he had secretly heard the young girl next to him whisper "Ma Ke" a few times!
In Guangdong, the way to address a department head is surname + department, like Jin Qi, who was promoted to department head, so it would be Jin Ke!
"Thank you."
Jin Qi stretched his facial muscles to his most satisfied curve and smiled at Ma Leitao, revealing a few teeth, which were definitely white!
He didn't care about the stinky man; his main purpose was to show off his charming smile to the assistant girl. Although he knew that this girl was probably just a secretary or assistant and wouldn't have the power to decide his job, Jin Qi knew from his older brothers that if he didn't want to miss any opportunities, he had to smile at everyone!
Details determine success or failure; Jin Qi tried to understand the true meaning of this saying.
Chapter 5007 of the interview: Regaining Dignity, Surprised by the Initiative: "You're a mechanical engineering major? Why do you prefer non-engineering jobs?"
Ma Leitao asked coldly without looking up.
Jin Qi smiled, trying to remain calm: "It's because I feel my personality isn't suited to sitting down and drawing and designing in a conventional way. I'm really looking forward to challenging planning work!"
These were the exact words of his diligent roommate, Lao Wu. Jin Qi had heard Lao Wu say this when he accompanied him to his last interview. Haha, now he could use it too! Lao Wu got a job at a good company because of this, and he hoped it would bring him good luck!
"Oh! I see… The company you interned at, as far as I know, is quite famous in Northeast China. You should have been able to get an offer directly after three months of internship, so why did you choose to leave?"
Ma Leitao's sudden question caught Jin Qi off guard.
"Why did I leave?"
Jin Qi smiled bitterly. He didn't actually need to work; the internship was just a routine part of graduating. Could he really give that answer?
"Can I not answer this question? Telling the truth would make people suspicious of my motives, but lying makes me feel wronged."
Jin Qi was very dissatisfied with his answer, but it was the only one he could give.
Ma Leitao looked up slightly in surprise, clearly hearing this answer for the first time. He looked at Jin Qi, nodded expressionlessly, and asked, "How many years have you been working?"
Jin Qi was puzzled. Wasn't Ma Leitao looking down at his resume just now? Why was he asking again? But he still said, "Just graduated!"
"Huh? Just graduated? This position in our department usually requires more than three years of work experience. You just graduated and you dare to apply for this position? The person before me was eliminated because he had only worked for a year, which was too short!"
Ma Leitao was clearly a little angry, pointing to the resume below him with a bunch of red X's.
Jin Qi sneered inwardly, strongly suspecting this man was illiterate. Why would a recent graduate ask about something clearly on his resume, and then feign anger afterward? What kind of act was this?
"The length of work experience doesn't determine ability. I started interning at that famous advertising company in Northeast China you mentioned during my junior year! During that year, I was diligent and eager to learn. Fortunately, several senior colleagues guided me on projects, and I created two or three creative proposals that received high praise from clients and positive market feedback. Please see, these are my completed projects."
Jin Qi said, handing over the materials he had prepared in addition to his resume.
This was his dorm leader's advice: besides the resume, prepare a few extra things!
But Ma Leitao merely flipped through a few pages, clearly unconcerned, and put them aside, saying, "Leave your resume and materials here. If we have further interest, we'll call you within three days. Your resume already has a mobile phone number, that's good!" He then
lowered his head, about to write his comments on Jin Qi's resume, which would obviously receive another big red cross.
"Please wait a moment!"
Jin Qi suddenly interrupted the middle-aged man's actions with a smile.
Ma Leitao was surprised, looked up, adjusted his loosened glasses, and looked at Jin Qi. "I think I'm not... suitable for your department! Could you please give me back my resume?"
Jin Qi asked politely.
Actually, in his heart, he originally wanted to say "...your department is not suitable for me..."
but he was afraid of encountering Ma Leitao later and being retaliated against, so he changed it to "I am not suitable for your department!"
Everyone waiting for an interview looked at the boy who took back his resume with surprise, including Ma Leitao and his assistant.
"Hmph! Fine."
Ma Leitao felt his authority was ruthlessly challenged and was annoyed. He handed Jin Qi's resume over, but before Jin Qi could catch it, he let go, and the resume fluttered to the ground like an autumn leaf!
Jin Qi's eyes stung; he finally understood the frustration of his roommates after being rejected for jobs!
"Thank you. I'm certain again that my choice was right."
As Jin Qi bent down to pick up the resume, a slender, pale hand handed it to him, along with the materials he had previously submitted. He looked up; it was the young assistant girl. Jin Qi smiled sincerely at her, his eyes catching the name "Lin Chuchu" on her name tag before he turned and strode away.
Behind him stood Ma Leitao, the livid-faced head of the Cultural Publicity Department, and his charming assistant Lin Chuchu, along with several pairs of admiring eyes following his tall figure. The others, however, just secretly licked their lips. They wouldn't dare give up like Jin Qi. Leaving their resumes—who knew they might actually get a call within three days? The chances were slim! Although they all knew this.
Jin Qi knew that doing so might cost him this job opportunity, even though the chance was incredibly slim. But he preferred not to. Working under someone like Ma Leitao in the future was worse than leaving now. A person who doesn't respect others doesn't deserve respect.
He was now completely immersed in the job search, experiencing firsthand the anxieties of his roommates. He chuckled to himself, "When I get back to Shenyang, I'll treat them to a meal!"
This thought dispelled any negative feelings he might have. First, he could try other positions; second, there was the icy beauty, Ouyang Xue'er!
Just thinking of her brought a smile to Jin Qi's face!
Regroup! Re-enter the job market!
Chapter 5008: Re-entering the Market, Changing Careers Again. Jin Qi left the queue, leisurely standing in a corner of the hall, watching the various hurried people, seemingly unrelated to himself!
However, an hour passed, and there was still no news from Xue'er. He had checked his phone countless times, finding no messages or missed calls. He checked the signal—full bars; the battery? Five bars, full.
It seemed there was only one explanation: Xue'er still hadn't contacted him!
Hmph, why rely on Xue'er? I still need to have confidence in my job search. Just now? Consider it a rehearsal! After rehearsal, it was time to officially go on stage!
For the first time, Jin Qi truly understood the harsh realities of the world and the suffering of all beings! If you want to experience life, go all out!
Entering the restroom, Jin Qi splashed handfuls of cold water on his face. The frustration of his roommates searching for jobs, which he hadn't understood before, now made perfect sense! Only after the pain in his heart gradually subsided did he dry his face with the restroom tissues. He smoothed his short hair back and looked at himself in the mirror, saying, "Jin Qi, pull yourself together. Although you don't need to work, for Master's orders, to uncover the secrets of the Qilin Factory, to uncover the secrets of the Seven Deadly Grounds, and even more so to pursue Ouyang Xue'er, you must enter the Qilin Company!
You must fight again, without using magic, relying on yourself! Even the Qilin Prince doesn't cheat in basketball; you can too!"
He told himself to himself, "Li Ka-shing started his business from a street stall. You started much higher than him, you graduated from a top university! You're talented, there's nothing you can't do. Compared to Superman, you're just wearing your underwear underneath! Compared to Yao Ming, you're just not as tall; compared to Liu Xiang, you're just not as fast!"
"Young man, are you alright?"
asked a bespectacled, well-dressed man in a suit, around thirty years old. He saw Jin Qi talking to himself in the mirror and assumed he was suffering too many setbacks in his job search, leading to a mental breakdown, so he asked with concern.
Jin Qi turned to look at him and saw that although the man had a square face and seemed resolute, he was also covered in sweat and looked nervous. He thought to himself, "So I'm not the only one nervous, that's normal!"
Therefore, he quickly said, "Thank you, I'm fine."
He gave the bespectacled man a sincere smile.
Although Jin Qi cultivated Taoism, and his highest realm was detachment from emotions and desires, he was naturally a sentimental person, and his fragile heart was easily moved. In this concrete jungle where your laughter is all alone, and your tears are seen by the whole world, a stranger's concern, even if it's just a simple greeting, is enough to bring a refreshing rain to Jin Qi's parched heart. In Shenyang, there's a group of college friends, brothers; in Shenzhen, a completely new person!
I thought there was someone there, Ouyang Xue'er, but in this hour, she disappeared!
Jin Qi gazed deeply at his reflection in the mirror once more—still the dashing man! He strode out of the restroom, resume and briefcase in hand. Being weak in matters of the heart didn't mean he'd be indecisive in other areas; that wasn't Jin Qi's style.
If he had secured a job at Qilin Company before Ouyang Xue'er intervened, how prestigious would that have been?
At least he'd have a modicum of authority to speak in front of Ouyang Xue'er…!
It was already 10:30 AM, and the recruitment fair was still bustling. However, the booth for the planning position Jin Qi had previously set his sights on had already closed. Ma Leitao was nowhere to be seen, but Jin Qi felt a pang of nostalgia—not for the despicable Ma Leitao, but for Bai Bai's little assistant, Lin Chuchu! That girl was quite nice.
He glanced around idly. With his sharp eyesight, he could clearly see the other departments' job openings from several meters away: senior project manager, business manager, purchasing manager—Jin Qi knew his limitations; he couldn't handle those positions. Work and cultivation were two different things!
"Ah!"
Jin Qi's eyes lit up when he saw another booth: "There's another one over there hiring a human resources clerk? Why not give it a try? I'm determined to change careers anyway!"
It was the recruitment booth of the HR department at the Yuanshan factory of Qilin Company! This decision would pave the way for Jin Qi to meet Ximen Bingbing later.
There were seven or eight people waiting for interviews at that booth; they were clearly accepting resumes and conducting interviews on the spot!
The recruiters were two women. One was older, around thirty-one or thirty-two years old, petite, with delicate features—a typical southern woman. She was the head interviewer, asking questions and listening to the answers. The other girl, wearing glasses, was younger and had acne on her face. She seemed to be the assistant, responsible for collecting information from the interviewees and taking notes.
