Demoness, where are you Fleeing to?

Chapter 180: Chapter 169: What Are They Doing?_1

The middle-aged maid felt dizzy for nearly a moment before she regained her senses.

She saw Su Zhaojun looking at her sympathetically, "I take back my words. If he had two or three capable assistants now, even at the seventh house level would be cut down by him."

The middle-aged maid couldn’t help but blush, knowing Su Zhaojun was right.

Under normal combat conditions, her protective Gang Qi and defensive magical instrument could not withstand the wild attacks of Li Xuan and his companions within this moment.

Then, the maid saw a baffling sight, in the center of the school grounds, Li Yan was frozen in a huge ice block, looking furious.

Outside, Li Xuan was reinforcing the ice layer by slapping the ice again and again, suppressing the flames rising from Li Yan’s body.

"Nephew? What’s happening now?"

"As you see, he was hit first. Although his cultivation and Zhenyuan quality is much better than yours, the time he was stunned is about the same as you."

Su Zhaojun smiled, "Luckily, he was careful enough to put on that Zuwu inclusive armor. Otherwise, he would be embarrassed. He has been very angry lately, a bit of cooling down will do him good."

The maid thought that this was embarrassing enough. She shook her head, "But I think this is like adding fuel to the fire. Your nephew would probably be pissed off."

At the edge of the school grounds, Li Chengji looked stunned, then he was ecstatic: "This Shen Kui Lei Yin, Great Rectitude, remarkable! It has reached this level."

The moment Li Xuan made a sound, even he was a bit stunned. It showed how strong Li Xuan’s sound vibration had reached.

Over there, Li Xuan slapped the ice layer twenty times in a row. Seeing that it could not be frozen, he jumped to the outside of the field: "I surrender!"

"No way!" Red flames spewed around Li Yan, like a rock rolling magma, evaporated the surrounding ice layer supported by Li Xuan into water vapor molecules. But when he was going to teach Li Xuan a lesson, he found Li Xuan had already hidden behind Li Chengji, looking at him innocently.

Li Chengji understood Li Yan’s emotions, but he said with a smile, "Brotherly competition should be stopped when it goes too far. Since he has admitted defeat, the competition naturally ends here.

You, Yan, really need to self-reflect this time. We warriors should avoid being arrogant and impatient. Don’t underestimate the heroes of the world just because you’ve made some achievements in your martial arts. There are countless people in the world who have secret techniques like Xuan."

Li Xuan kept nodding behind him, "Exactly! Exactly! Brother, you should have known that I would test the knife on you and I must have some reliance, but you underestimated me again!"

He remembered well the incident not long ago when Li Yan tickled his feet. He thought that he had finally avenged himself today.

Li Yan almost twisted his mouth in anger. Although he didn’t continue to take a shot, he stared at Li Xuan dangerously, making Li Xuan’s hair stand on end.

Perceiving his elder brother’s strong desire for revenge, Li Xuan did not dare to continue testing moves with Leng Yurou. He did not even dare to stay in Earl Chengyi’s mansion any longer. After going to visit his mother, he hurriedly left the mansion.

Strangely, although Mrs. Liu saw him, she asked Li Xuan to stay a yard away and not to approach. There was a strong smell of incense burning in the room, which puzzled Li Xuan.

What Li Xuan did not know was that when he left Earl Chengyi’s mansion, Mrs. Liu was holding two invitation letters, looking very confused.

"Zhang Wenxuan, isn’t this the vice tianshi of Tianshi Sect? And his cousin, Madam Zhang of Xue’s Mansion - want to pay a joint visit?"

"Jiang Yunqi and his wife, Madam Xue - are apologizing and compensating? But aren’t they a family? Why do they need to send two invitations?"

Mrs. Liu guessed that this should be to talk about Li Xuan’s marriage. She was overjoyed. But she thought, how could she feel good about this? She should be the one to visit the girl’s family.

But then, Mrs. Liu smelled herself and frowned, "Yurou, when can this smell on my body be cleared?"

"Normally it takes one or two months." Leng Yurou answered truthfully, "But I’ve already sent people out to buy cold incense grass. If we can get it, it will be gone in seven days. The problem is that the WestHospital is also buying it, and this thing is rare."

Mrs. Liu’s lips twitched. She then helplessly put the invitations back on the table, "Help me reply, say that I have been feeling unwell lately and need to schedule another time."

When Li Xuan came to Zhuque Hall to meet Jiang Hanyun at the Hour of Mao, he saw his superior pointing to the room next to her, "Go in there and wait for me. Remember to take off your clothes. I will be right there."

At the moment, Ma Chenggong, Peng Fulai, and others happened to be there as well, their faces changed instantly, their eyes moving suspiciously between the two.

Li Xuan was also startled, wondering if he was going to face some unwritten rules in the workplace today.

After a while, he remembered what was going on. Jiang Hanyun must be referring to the Thunder Body Refinement: "With Xiaowei also here, isn’t this not a good time?"

"If not now, then when? Get in and strip. Stop dawdling."

Jiang Hanyun impatiently made a mark on the register, nonchalantly said: "We can get this done before the Hour of Mao is over. There should still be time. My father feels quite guilty towards you. He urged me to get this done as soon as possible. He also told me to be nicer and gentler towards you."

Those present from Mingyou City who were also assigned to answer the call during the Hour of Mao were completely shocked. They thought to themselves, ’What were these two talking about? Could it be what I think it is?’

Only at this moment did Jiang Hanyun notice the awkward atmosphere and the look of surprise on everyone’s faces. She turned red immediately: "It’s not what you think, don’t imagine things! I’m just using a secret technique from my family to aid his cultivation."

Ma Chenggong nodded as if understanding, the surprise was gone from his face. However, he was thinking internally, ’Isn’t this explanation the same as a cover-up? When has Major Jiang ever explained herself to her subordinates like this?’

This situation is quite interesting. It seems I need to suck up to Li Xuan more often. Jiang Hanyun has a promising future and is bound to become a powerful figure like Qiu Qianqiu.

I must cultivate this relationship well.

Li Xuan, who had meanwhile taken a seat in the inner room, looked around curiously. Jiang Hanyun’s room was cleaner and more orderly than he had imagined, and there was no sign of the messy chaos he had envisaged nor any hint of femininity.

Then, Li Xuan was drawn to a piece of underwear on the bed.

"Don’t look around!"

Jiang Hanyun came in with a flushed face, first put away the underwear, and then sat down across from Li Xuan.

"We can start now, there’s not much to pay attention to. The only thing is, don’t struggle and don’t make violent movements."

Li Xuan nodded and began to apply the Inner Vision technique to observe his body. He planned to use Thunder Body in his cultivation, and this secret technique from the Jiang Family could be a good reference for him.

By this time, Jiang Hanyun had put her small hand on his chest. She first discharged a small electric current into Li Xuan’s body. She seemed to be sensing something through the electricity and magnetic field. Suddenly, the electrifying force increased dramatically, making a ’zzzz’ sound.

The feeling was quite tingling. Li Xuan barely managed to grit his teeth and endure it, but his body was throbbing with the current, causing the wooden bed to rock, making a creaking noise repeatedly.

At this time, outside the courtyard, Zhang Yue, who was walking out, asked Peng Fulai: "After the Major’s explanation just now, do you believe it, Old Peng?"

"Half-believe," Peng Fulai said with a doubtful look in his eyes; "But by any reasonable estimation, Qianzhi shouldn’t be so unwise. That’s the Blood Hand Butcher, Jiang Hanyun! How is he going to spend the rest of his life?"

At this moment, the two of them felt a sensation and looked behind them.

"Creak creak, this sound is so familiar." Zhang Yue solemnly said: "When I was ’working’ in the past, it was also like this, creak creak."

"Me too."

Peng Fulai listened carefully and was somewhat shocked: "But this frequency is very intense, at least twelve thrusts in a single breath! Impressive!"

※※※※

After the event, Li Xuan walked out of Jiang Hanyun’s public room lively. As soon as he entered their team’s public room, he received admiring looks from Peng Fulai and Zhang Yue.

Seeing that Li Xuan’s pace was steady and his eyes were bright, Zhang Yue’s expression became even more complicated, "Qianzhi, aren’t you tired? Isn’t your lower back sore? Aren’t your legs soft?"

"Why would my legs be soft?"

Li Xuan gave the two of them a perplexed look and then waved his hand nonchalantly: "Are you asking about Major Jiang helping me refine my body through Thunder Style? I barely moved at all, but it felt quite good."

Upon hearing this, Peng Fulai and Zhang Yue looked at each other, a hint of envy inexplicably appeared in their eyes.

Li Xuan ignored these two inexplicably mysterious people. He took Yue Qianqian to a corner and asked her directly about the ship in Shopkeeper Han’s memory.

"Wang’s boat company is a big ship merchant in the Zhenjiang area, currently owning seventeen big ships, each with a long cabin nine meters long and three meters wide like the one you mentioned. However, I’ve checked the customs records of these seventeen ships one by one and found nothing suspicious. They have been operating their ships normally on the river these days. They are legitimate shipping merchants. Their business is just to help people transport goods on the river, so there is a record for everything.

Then I found out that Wang’s boat company sold four old ships half a year ago. The local water gates and docks have not seen these ships for a long time."

Yue Qianqian put several dossiers in front of Li Xuan as she spoke.

"Later, some people saw a ghost ship near Dasheng Pass. It can’t be seen during the day, but at night it’s pitch black. Some people dared to board the ship, but they never came back. Several branches under our Zhuque Hall along the river have received several reports. However, since they have been busy recently and this ghost ship has not caused any major disaster, all the local branches chose to deal with it later. Judging by their description, it seems to be one of these four ships."

Then her voice paused: "By the way, this Wang’s boat company, is actually a property of your Earl’s family, it was dowry left by Madam Wang for your sister-in-law, Su Zhaojun."

On hearing this, Li Xuan was taken aback. He wondered why it’s somehow connected to his family again?
