Chapter 96 - 95 Temptation
Chapter 96: Chapter 95 Temptation
"This time, for successfully capturing the flower thief, the Bureau is granting an extra 800 contribution points for the year-end assessment!"
Zhuge Potian had indeed been generous.
The 800 contribution points were the maximum under his authority, and a portion of them originally belonged to him.
But there was no other way,
The Mansion Master only gave him half a month, so to motivate these people, he had to cut a bit of flesh.
"What?"
...
Below the hall, a few people immediately couldn’t stay calm, but Chen Xuan was faking it!
After all, he currently had 0 contribution points, and even if he were given 800 points, it would take him several years to make use of them, practically useless.
Except for him,
The additional 800 points were indeed truly exciting.
Especially Luo Encheng, whose eyes were gleaming.
If he could get those 800 points, combined with this year’s assessment, he could accumulate up to 2300 points, and in three more years, cultivating to a Third Grade cultivation technique would be within reach.
He had been stuck at the Fifth Grade for three years due to the lack of a superior cultivation technique.
What he lacked now was the cultivation technique,
Although his current points could be exchanged for some slightly inferior techniques, allowing him to cultivate to the Fourth Grade, he was not content.
So he continued to save up contribution points.
But as he got older, he wavered slightly this year, contemplating whether he should first exchange for a cultivation technique to reach the Fourth Grade.
He hadn’t expected that for capturing this flower thief, Zhuge Potian would award an additional 800 points.
"No, I must get those 800 points!"
He glanced at the other three with the corner of his eye.
"Liu Yi and Xia Yu are out of the question, as their contribution points aren’t any less than his."
"As for Chen Xuan, he just joined the Divine Capture Bureau, has no contribution points, and has a good relationship with him. I’ll see if I can win him over."
Luo Encheng began to calculate in his mind.
At this moment,
Sitting above, Zhuge Potian watched their reactions with satisfaction and nodded approvingly.
When he previously offered them the position of Deputy Director of the Divine Capture Bureau, they didn’t care at all; it seemed contribution points were more appealing to them.
...
The four of them left the Divine Capture Bureau Headquarters’ main hall.
After Liu Yi and Xia Yu departed one after another,
Luo Encheng approached Chen Xuan’s carriage, "Brother Chen, could you give me a ride?"
Hmm?
He was in the North District, in the opposite direction, giving him a ride?
There must be something up!
"Of course, Brother Luo, please!"
After the two of them boarded the carriage one after the other, Luo Encheng spoke directly, hoping Chen Xuan could help him this time.
As long as he could capture the flower thief, he could name his conditions without hesitation!
However, Chen Xuan didn’t immediately agree to such a thing, only saying he needed time to consider.
...
Divine Capture Bureau East District Office.
After returning, Chen Xuan lay on the chair as usual, rocking back and forth, with the book he had been reading placed under his head as a pillow.
Outer room.
"Why didn’t the boss say anything upon returning?" Qin Gang propped his chin with one hand and poked at the charcoal in the stove with the other.
"The boss has his own thoughts; why are you in such a rush!"
Clearly, compared to him, Liu He was much steadier, though less attractive.
"Oh..." Qin Gang sighed.
"Huff huff huff..."
Just then, the sound of snoring came from the inner room.
The two exchanged glances and smiled bitterly.
Following a laid-back boss like Chen Xuan, they weren’t sure whether it was a blessing or a disaster. Despite the serious situation, he seemed unconcerned, even sleeping.
Truly....
....
"Yawn...."
Chen Xuan opened his eyes, rubbing his eyelids.
The room was so warm he fell asleep without realizing it.
Seeing the sky outside had already darkened.
"Grumble grumble....."
Chen Xuan chuckled silently, he’d slept until he was hungry.
"Time to find Yue Nan for a meal!"
Then he headed outside.
"Boss!"
The two stood up simultaneously.
"Alright, alright, didn’t I say there’s no need for so many formalities? Do this again, and I’ll dock your monthly salary!"
Chen Xuan was most displeased by such nonsense, all for show.
"It’s getting late, I’m off. You two figure things out yourselves!"
With that, he walked towards the outside but was stopped by Qin Gang, "Boss, what about the flower thief?"
"Oh, I almost forgot, too preoccupied with my stomach," Chen Xuan slapped his forehead, nearly forgetting the important matter he had been pondering in the inner room before falling asleep.
"Here’s the plan: From tomorrow onwards, every night, we’ll lead those junior constables on night patrols in the East Street. Well, let’s start from tomorrow; one more day won’t matter!"
With those words, he didn’t give the two a chance to respond and left the government office, taking a carriage to the Ink Lotus Pavilion, too hungry to want to speak further!
The duo smiled wryly at each other, having such a laid-back boss was indeed.... delightful!
....
The evening business at Ink Lotus Pavilion was at its peak.
As soon as Chen Xuan entered,
The first-floor hall was nearly full, bustling with activity.
The matter of the flower thief seemed as if it never happened.
"Ah, the young master has arrived!"
The maid quickly approached him upon seeing him.
"Is Yue Nan busy?"
"The boss is checking inventory; I’ll call her for you!"
"No need, please arrange some food for me and send it to the fifth floor!"
"Sure, young master, I’ll arrange it right away!"
"Alright!"
Chen Xuan nodded, then headed towards the fifth floor via the wooden staircase.
But suddenly stopped.
"Why does that person seem a bit off-putting?"
His gaze fell upon a man in the corner of the hall.
Although it seemed nothing unusual on the surface, as a Fourth Grade Martial Artist, he was extremely sensitive to the auras emitted by other martial artists.
This man gave him a strange feeling of alternating between cold and warm!
As if sensing Chen Xuan’s gaze, the man also looked over this way.
Upon noticing the official uniform he wore, his expression clearly changed, but he quickly concealed it.
He smiled slightly.
In response, Chen Xuan also slightly nodded and then headed towards the fifth floor.
Of course, he sensed the man’s abnormality, but whether he was good or bad, as long as he didn’t cause trouble at Ink Lotus Pavilion, he couldn’t be bothered to intervene.
...
On the fifth floor,
Chen Xuan leaned back in his chair, burping loudly.
"I’m full now."
At this moment, Pei Yuenan arrived on the fifth floor, slowly walked over, and considerately took out a handkerchief to wipe his greasy mouth.
She then poured him a cup of tea, placing it in his hand.
"How comfortable!"
Chen Xuan drank it all in one go.
"It must be hard for you to wait for me every day," Pei Yuenan said as she came up behind him and began to massage his shoulders.
"Anyway, it’s on the way. Besides, that flower thief has been causing a lot of trouble lately. I’m more at ease being with you." Chen Xuan rested his head on her and closed his eyes, enjoying her service.
"Why haven’t they caught him yet? I’ve heard that during this time, this person not only harms women but doesn’t even spare men, like an animal, truly disgusting!"
Thinking of two men, Pei Yuenan felt goosebumps all over.
"Perhaps something went wrong with his cultivation technique."
Chen Xuan had actually suspected this for a while.
Back on Blue Star, it might have been somewhat possible for men, but in this world, Pei Yuenan’s reaction said it all.
If that’s the case, it’s most likely due to the cultivation technique.
Moreover,
Every time, after harming one woman, the next would be a man.
It’s very regular.
"Is it the so-called balance of yin and yang?"
He’s no longer the little hunter from Shuanggang Village; he knows much more now.
And since becoming the Chief Constable of the Divine Capture Bureau, he hasn’t done much else, but he’s read many books in the government office.
Among them, it’s recorded that some cultivation techniques are extremely vigorous, requiring the absorption of women’s essence to balance.
Of course, it’s never been recorded to absorb from men; that’s his own speculation.
"Vigorous... balance..."
Suddenly, Chen Xuan’s eyes snapped open, as if he grasped something in an instant.
He disappeared from the fifth floor in a flash, and Pei Yuenan hadn’t even sensed it.
At the staircase,
Chen Xuan saw that the man was already gone, but the dishes on the table were still steaming hot.
"Was it him..."
....
The next day.
In the South District brothel, a man suddenly fainted, and upon waking, his rear was compromised. He went to the County Government Office wearing a mask to report it.
Divine Capture Bureau East District County Government Office.
"So tragic, truly tragic!" Qin Gang’s head kept shaking.
As he spoke, he played it out.
One hand on his rear, the other covering his face, pretending to cry out.
Causing Liu He beside him to burst into laughter.
Even Chen Xuan couldn’t help but kick him, what a clown.
"Alright, I’ll keep watch tonight. That person’s not weak; you two be careful next time! If something feels off, prioritize your own safety!"
"Understood, Chief!"
"Understood!"
The two were not fools; nothing is more important than their own lives.
....
At night.
After escorting Pei Yuenan back to Chen Mansion.
Chen Xuan had dozens of junior constables split into two teams to patrol the East District, while he chose the highest point to overlook the entire East District.
"Whoosh, whoosh..."
A sharp, cold wind roared past his ears, and puffs of white mist formed with each breath.
But fortunately, the snow had stopped today.
Chen Xuan tapped lightly with his toe, leaping from one rooftop to another without making a sound.
The entire East District,
It took him a full hour to complete his patrol.
"Whew..."
He exhaled a long breath.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in Chen Xuan’s line of sight.
Just as he thought it might be the flower thief—
A familiar voice came, "Brother Chen!"
It was Luo Encheng!
"Brother Luo! Any sign?"
Chen Xuan cupped his hands and asked.
Luo Encheng shook his head, "I asked them earlier; there’s nothing!"
"Could it be that the person won’t come out tonight?"
...
Meanwhile, in a corner of the East District, a man in black crouched, cautiously scanning his surroundings.
"Damn it!"
He didn’t expect the Chief Constables from all four districts to be patrolling tonight.
He dared not act rashly.
"Pfft..."
A mouthful of blood spewed out, and his face paled a bit.
"No, I must head to the brothel; although those women’s essence isn’t great, it’s better than nothing."
....
The next day!
At the East Street brothel, the madam came to report early in the morning.
Last night,
A customer ordered four girls, but by this morning, all were found devoid of life.
