Slowly opening his eyes, Li Yunjing checked his internal state. His mana was more robust, his body stronger, and even his divine sense could radiate twelve miles away.
His mental state was also far better than the day before.
Li Yunjing’s cultivation level at the eighth layer of the Qi Cultivation Realm was strong enough to easily slaughter a group of loose cultivators at the Great Perfection of the Qi Cultivation Realm!
He even felt an eagerness to try his hand against some newly ascended cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Realm within the loose cultivator community.
In Li Yunjing’s view, his cultivation wasn’t inferior to experts at the First Heaven of the Foundation Establishment Realm!
At the inner sect competition in three and a half years, he might just be able to snatch the championship!
"Knock, knock, knock..."
At this moment, there was a knock on the door from outside.
Li Yunjing had long sensed the movements outside and knew when Liu Ruyan had come into the backyard.
Now, hearing Liu Ruyan knock, he motioned for her to enter.
"Oh? You seem different today? More spirited than yesterday?"
Liu Ruyan was not an ordinary woman. She pushed the door open and walked in, noticing Li Yunjing’s unusual state at first glance.
"Yes! After resting for the night, I’m in better shape. Where are Xing’Er and Yue’Er?"
Li Yunjing casually explained and then asked with concern.
Liu Ruyan found a chair, sat down, and chuckled, "I thought you wouldn’t recognize anyone after putting on your pants?"
"Ahem... How could that be!"
Li Yunjing coughed awkwardly to cover his embarrassment, "Stop talking nonsense."
"Hehe! You heartless guy, you wore them out. Xing’Er and Yue’Er are still resting! You should be a bit more gentle."
Liu Ruyan laughed lightly and looked below Li Yunjing’s waist, "But you do have quite the asset!"
"Hey! You little demon, if you keep this up, I’ll deal with you!"
Hearing that Xing’Er and Yue’Er were fine, Li Yunjing was relieved and started joking with Liu Ruyan.
Last night, Li Yunjing had shown great prowess, nearly capturing Liu Ruyan completely.
But thinking about Liu Ruyan’s different cultivation technique and the critical moment when Xing’Er and Yue’Er sacrificed themselves to help, Li Yunjing only got a bit of an advantage but didn’t fully conquer her.
Now, this little demon still dares to provoke him?
Li Yunjing pretended to be about to unleash his fury, immediately scaring Liu Ruyan into retreat, her face pale with fright.
The madness of last night had shown Liu Ruyan Li Yunjing’s might. Seeing him come for her now, she naturally got startled.
At this moment, Liu Ruyan didn’t have Xing’Er and Yue’Er to help defuse Li Yunjing’s desires!
"Stop messing around! I’m here to tell you some good news!"
At this point, Liu Ruyan quickly stated her purpose for coming.
Li Yunjing stopped chasing Liu Ruyan and asked.
"Gong Renju died from a heart attack last night! Today, the news has spread throughout the ’Red Sun Market’, with people everywhere discussing his demise. Gong Renju has become the biggest joke in the Red Sun Market."
Liu Ruyan smiled, "How are you going to thank me?"
"Great news! How about I give myself to you as thanks?"
Upon hearing the news, a great weight in Li Yunjing’s heart finally dropped.
Now, there would be no evidence left!
Li Yunjing shamelessly offered himself to Liu Ruyan.
"Stop fooling around! I’m talking about serious matters!"
Liu Ruyan pressed down Li Yunjing’s mischievous hands and said coquettishly.
"Alright! What’s the serious matter?"
Li Yunjing stopped his antics, sat down beside Liu Ruyan, and in a swift motion, Liu Ruyan yelped as she found herself sitting on his lap.
With soft beauty in his arms, Li Yunjing played with her delicate hands, deciding not to take it further for now.
"Oh yes! Gong Renju’s shop isn’t bad, and his family members are not formidable. This morning, word spread that they are looking to sell. Are you interested?"
Seeing Li Yunjing had no further actions, Liu Ruyan felt much relieved. Wrapping her arms around Li Yunjing’s neck, she leaned her head against his cheek, whispered in his ear.
"Hmm! What’s the use of a small shop?"
Li Yunjing shook his head slightly. If it were a large store, he’d be interested in taking it over, but a small general store? What class is that?
Not worth spending the effort to manage!
"Hmph! After sleeping with Xing’Er and Yue’Er, you’re just going to walk away and ignore them?"
Liu Ruyan’s face turned somber, clearly displeased. She pinched Li Yunjing’s cheek fiercely with a jade hand.
"Hey! I didn’t say I wouldn’t take care of them!"
After confirming last night that Xing’Er and Yue’Er were both virgins, Li Yunjing had no intention of ending it after one night and walking away.
A sentimental person wouldn’t do such a heartless thing.
At this point, hearing Liu Ruyan’s accusations, Li Yunjing felt a bit upset.
"Hmm! So, you’ll let them continue living in ’Smoke Rain Tower’? Dealing with those foul men?"
Hearing Li Yunjing’s words, Liu Ruyan’s expression eased a bit, and she continued, "Or do you dare to bring Xing’Er and Yue’Er into the ’Shenxiao Dao Sect’?"
Liu Ruyan’s words made a lot of sense. Leaving Xing’Er and Yue’Er here made him somewhat uneasy.
Although he knew Xing’Er and Yue’Er had illusion and charm techniques for protection, so generally men wouldn’t take advantage of them.
But words alone, and some men like himself, being handsy, Li Yunjing couldn’t accept it.
