Chapter 196: Chapter 196: What’s Good About Me Exactly?

The living room suddenly fell silent as Long Fei awkwardly and quickly lifted himself up, moving his large hand away.

Li Wenwen was so embarrassed she couldn’t face anyone, turning to her side and burying her head in the sofa.

"I’m going downstairs now, sleep early!"

Carrying the soup pot, Long Fei snuck out the door like a thief.

Li Wenwen was a good girl, and he didn’t want to cause her trouble.

Li Wenwen snuck glances at him, actually wishing he would stay a bit longer.

The cool breeze outside brought relief to Long Fei as he took a deep breath.

Back in his room, he grabbed the pot of medicinal soup and downed it in one gulp.

Soon the essential qi inside his belly began to churn, swelling up like a drum.

This time, Long Fei, with his experience, calmly manipulated the essential qi, spreading it from the governor and conception vessels to the meridians all over his body.

Under the influence of the essential qi, his head, just like the previous night, emitted white vapor, and his entire skin turned red.

With each meridian he unblocked, he felt as if he was breaking free from a layer of shackles, feeling incredibly light from head to toe.

As he expected, the essential qi moved through his meridians without causing any discomfort.

Overnight, the Eight Extraordinary Meridians were all unblocked.

He had broken through to the mid-phase Qi Cultivation Realm.

He opened his eyes joyfully and quickly found a wooden stool to test his strength.

With his large hand placed on it, he summoned a strand of remaining essential qi from his abdomen, traveling through the arm’s meridians to his hand.

With a snap, the essential qi burst forth from the palm of his hand.

Without using any muscular force, the wooden stool shattered into pieces from the impact.

The sensation was just like a nail gun.

Concentrating essential qi to a single point before releasing it resulted in staggering power.

According to the Ancient Martial World, the ability to externalize essential qi was a mark of the Grandmaster Realm’s cultivation level.

Long Fei looked at his palm and smiled, thinking that he could now fight evenly with his master.

Just two days had cost him three hundred thousand.

This was still just the basic Qi Cultivation Realm; moving up would surely require even more money.

Long Fei rubbed his temples, thinking he needed to quickly find a way to make money or he wouldn’t be able to sustain his progress.

He fetched some water to wash up, changed clothes, and went downstairs.

Li Wenwen had a class in the morning and was going downstairs at the same time.

Seeing Long Fei, she greeted him with a flushed face.

Long Fei, also slightly embarrassed, unintentionally stared at Li Wenwen’s chest and buttocks again.

She usually dressed very simply and elegantly, a loose white tee paired with capri jeans that did her figure no justice.

Long Fei casually mentioned, "I think you would look very pretty in a dress."

"Really?"

Li Wenwen paused, and after he left, as if possessed, she ran back and changed into a dress.

In the office at Lin’s Group, by the time Long Fei arrived, Lin Yingying and Su Qi were already in the office.

The two were preparing to counterattack, having organized all the meeting materials.

Su Qi gave Long Fei a surprised look upon seeing him.

The former security guard had unexpectedly become a major shareholder of the company.

Su Qi’s mind was reeling, silently remarking that reincarnation was truly an art form.

Some people were just born lucky.

She left Lin Yingying’s office, looking at Long Fei with interest before departing with a stack of documents.

Lin Yingying followed her out, sitting down opposite Long Fei.

She handed him an envelope, saying, "This was delivered by a courier this morning, I think it’s the share rights that your grandfather sent, isn’t it?"

Long Fei took it and looked, then nodded, "Yes, it’s from Grandpa."

He had written the company’s address, not expecting it to arrive so promptly.

Lin Yingying took it from his hands, opened it to take a look.

The pages of the share rights book were somewhat yellowed, but the printed text was still clear, with Lin’s Group’s official seal stamped on the back.

Ten percent of the shares, not a single point less.

Lin Yingying chuckled at Long Fei, "Now you’re the very definition of tall, rich, and handsome!"

Long Fei asked her, "How much money can these things be exchanged for?"

Lin Yingying frowned, "What do you want to do?"

Long Fei replied calmly, "I want to cash out."

He needed money now; the stakes meant nothing to him.

Moreover, once he had cashed out all his stakes, he would have completely severed his ties with Lin’s Group.

That way, should there be any future conflicts, he wouldn’t have to face the dilemma of choosing between his brothers and the women in his life.

Lin Yingying thought for a bit and said, "My father could buy back some, at the current share price, up to 5% at most!"

Long Fei replied, "It’s fine, I can sell to others!"

"You wouldn’t dare!"

Lin Yingying glared at him, petulantly saying, "We’re going to get married in the future. If you want to sell your shares, you must discuss it with me."

Long Fei was sweating bullets—who said he was going to marry her?

He compromised, "Then 5% it is. Move quickly, I urgently need the money."

Lin Yingying stared at him and sized him up, "Are you planning to take the money and elope with Wang Xiaoya?"

Long Fei protested, spitting out his words, "Am I that stupid?"

Lin Yingying pouted, "Then why do you need so much money?"

"Is it my money? Do I need to discuss it with you?"

Long Fei gave her a look.

Lin Yingying cried out, "Of course, you have to discuss it with me. As your wife, I have the right to know what you’re doing!"

Long Fei tapped his forehead, thinking this girl was really sticking to him now.

He concocted a reason and explained, "Alright, I’ll tell you the truth. I’ve got a terminal illness and need to take a lot of traditional Chinese medicine to alleviate it. A single dose costs one hundred and fifty thousand, so five hundred million isn’t much. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Shanshan; she’s bought medicine with me before!"

"A terminal illness?"

Lin Yingying’s eyes widened with alarm, concerningly asking, "Cancer?"

Long Fei shook his head and continued to fabricate, "No, it’s a rare and complicated disease. Didn’t grandpa say yesterday that the two jade pendants he retrieved contained the mutated genes of ancient humans? When I was saving you that day, the bad guy stabbed me with a knife. The knife broke through the jade pendant and pushed those genes in the blood directly into my body."

"So, you started to mutate after that?"

Lin Yingying’s mind was quick to respond.

Long Fei nodded and started unbuttoning his shirt.

Lin Yingying thought he was up to something, covered her eyes with her hands, and shrieked, "Pervert, what are you doing?"

Long Fei couldn’t help but amuse himself, explaining, "I’m not doing anything, just open your eyes."

Lin Yingying lowered her hands and examined him closely.

Long Fei touched the green bruise on his chest and explained, "Look at this, this is where I was stabbed that time. Now it’s starting to show green patches and can only be temporarily suppressed with medicine. If I don’t take the medicine, I guess I’ll soon turn into a monster."

Lin Yingying clicked her tongue and reached out to touch it.

The texture of the bruise was solid, completely different from the surrounding skin.

Half of what Long Fei said was true, the other half false.

He was indeed mutating, but his body had become strong, not needing any money spent on medicine.

However, Lin Yingying believed it to be true, since the green bruise wasn’t faked.

She asked out of curiosity, "That time you took a bullet for me and ended up with nothing wrong—was it because of the mutation?"

Long Fei nodded, thinking she was quite good at making connections.

Lin Yingying then said, "Okay, I’ll handle the share matter for you. With me around, I won’t let anything happen to you!"

Her gaze was resolute, full of concern, and she truly regarded Long Fei as the husband she was going to entrust her life to.

Feeling a twinge of guilt, Long Fei asked her, "Why did you suddenly agree to this marriage arrangement? I remember that you were very opposed to the previous generation’s plans?"

Lin Yingying’s cheeks colored as she replied, "What kind of question is that? Before, I didn’t know who the man in this marriage arrangement was, so naturally, I felt a bit resentful. But now that I know it’s you, it doesn’t feel too bad, so I agreed!"

Long Fei curiously asked, "I’m just a high school graduate and a junior security guard, what exactly about me do you find agreeable?"

Lin Yingying said sullenly, "Are you trying to make me compliment you indirectly?"

"Aren’t we having a heart-to-heart? What’s wrong with giving a compliment?"

Long Fei couldn’t help but laugh at her teasing.

Lin Yingying, crossing her arms, gave him a look and said, "You’re good in bed. Happy now?"

Long Fei had just taken a sip of tea and almost choked on it, the tea spurting out as he struggled to breathe from her unexpected comment.
