30: Chapter 30 Qin Lan’s Revenge_1 30: Chapter 30 Qin Lan’s Revenge_1 Lu Chuan returned home and, after triple checking that no one would disturb him, hurriedly set to work on crafting the Spirit Melding Pill.

Late at night.

Lu Chuan walked out of the kitchen with a smile on his face, holding a golden elixir pill in his hand.

“My talent in pill crafting should rank highly even in the Immortal Cultivation World; I can’t believe I succeeded in creating the fairly advanced Spirit Melding Pill on my first try.”

He looked up at the time and saw that it was already twelve o’clock.

On a whim, he glanced towards Mu Nanqing’s room.

“I’ve been so focused on crafting the pill that I haven’t paid attention to anything else; I don’t even know if sister-in-law has come back yet.”

After hesitating for a moment, he walked to Mu Nanqing’s door and gently pushed it open.

Seeing Mu Nanqing lying asleep on the bed in her camisole nightgown, and with the blanket kicked onto the floor, Lu Chuan breathed a sigh of relief.

“Sister-in-law is such a restless sleeper, kicking off the blanket like that.

She’s going to catch a cold tomorrow.”

He tiptoed over and picked up the blanket from the floor.

Mu Nanqing lay sprawled out, her silk nightgown too smooth, and one strap had slipped down, revealing half of her soft, creamy bosom.

Lu Chuan only glanced at it and immediately felt his mouth go dry and his heartbeat quicken.

He quickly covered Mu Nanqing with the blanket, otherwise if he kept looking, God knows what improper thoughts might arise in his mind.

Just as he was about to turn and leave, Mu Nanqing’s voice rose, “Xiaochuan, don’t go, I want…

”

Lu Chuan’s body stiffened in response.

“Sister-in-law, I just came to cover you with the blanket, please don’t misunderstand.”

He hadn’t expected Mu Nanqing to be awake, much less to utter such suggestive words.

Could it be…

she had feelings for him already?

“…haggle some more, I must buy this dress for you,” Mu Nanqing continued.

Lu Chuan froze, turned back to look, and discovered Mu Nanqing was still fast asleep; she was apparently just talking in her sleep.

His face flushed with embarrassment, he thought to himself what a beast he was, to think that his sister-in-law had feelings for him, then quickly left the room.

He gently closed the door and let out a sigh of relief.

“Sister-in-law’s dream talk, she must be dreaming about the very first time she took me shopping years ago.”

Back then, both he and his brother were poor, and Mu Nanqing had promised to buy Lu Chuan new clothes.

However, the prices in the store were too high and the money they had wasn’t enough.

He didn’t want to put Mu Nanqing in a difficult position, so he wanted to leave.

Mu Nanqing, on the other hand, insisted on buying it and told him not to go.

Lu Chuan remembered that haggling wasn’t allowed in the mall, but somehow Mu Nanqing managed to get the clothes for him at a relatively cheap price that day.

It was also at that time he felt he had the best sister-in-law in the world, a sentiment that touched him deeply for a very long time.

“Sister-in-law is dreaming of being good to me, and here I am, having these filthy thoughts.

I really deserve to die.”

Lu Chuan severely reprimanded himself and turned back to his own room.

The next morning.

At breakfast, Lu Chuan suddenly said, “Sister-in-law, I must make sure you live a life worthy of royalty!”

Mu Nanqing looked at him and smiled, “Silly boy, what are you thinking about, saying such things all of a sudden?”

Lu Chuan was resolute, “I’m not thinking about anything, I just want to make life better for sister-in-law.”

Mu Nanqing smiled and pressed her lips together, “Alright, I know what’s in your heart, eat your breakfast.”

Lu Chuan nodded and ate the breakfast prepared by Mu Nanqing with relish, finishing every bit of it.

After the meal, Lu Chuan left home, planning to find a place rich in spiritual energy to try and make a breakthrough with the aid of the Spirit Melding Pill.

If he wanted his sister-in-law to live happily, he first needed to have enough strength himself, or else everything would remain but a fantasy.

He sensed the direction of dense spiritual energy and then headed towards the east side of the city.

At the same time.

Within the Censorate Department, in Yu Xin’s office.

Yu Xin stood in front of a whiteboard with a gloomy face, her eyes fixed on a photo of Lu Chuan.

After a while, she added a few more photos, creating a relationship web with Qin Lan, Liu Kun, Mu Nanqing, and some of Lu Chuan’s friends.

“You bastard, even though I have no evidence, I don’t believe you’re capable of covering up everything without a trace.

As soon as I start investigating the people around you, I’m sure to find the key evidence, and then I’ll personally lock you up!”

She carefully went through Lu Chuan’s information, eventually settling her gaze on Lu Chuan’s ex-girlfriend, Qin Lan.

“I’ll start my investigation with her.”

She found Qin Lan’s number and called her.

…

At Qin Lan’s home.

Wearing only an apron, Qin Lan knelt in front of Liu Kun, massaging his legs.

Liu Kun, with a scruffy beard and a beer in hand, was completely drunk and looked much more unkempt than before.

He took a gulp of beer and then slapped Qin Lan across the face, cursing, “Damn it, didn’t you have your meal?

Put some effort into it!”

Qin Lan hastily applied more force, not daring to show the slightest dissatisfaction and even obsequiously said, “Dear, your beating excites me so much, may I serve you again later?”

Liu Kun snorted coldly, “Depends on my mood.”

Qin Lan nodded quickly, trying hard to look very eager.

Ever since the Qin family was blacklisted by Chu Mengyao, Qin Lan became the family’s sinner, cut off from all sources of income.

Without the ability to earn money, she could only try all sorts of ways to please Liu Kun, so as to rely on him for support.

Liu Kun’s father was severely scolded and demoted to assistant manager by the owner of Cloud Sea Grand Hotel because Liu Kun had offended Chu Mengyao.

In a fury, he gave Liu Kun a beating and restricted his allowance.

Liu Kun felt indignant, thinking it was all the fault of Qin Lan, that foolish woman, who, he believed, only brought him trouble, so he wanted to kick her out.

But Qin Lan clung to him shamelessly, claiming she would atone for her mistakes and begging him for another chance.

Liu Kun was worried about how to vent his frustration, so he agreed to Qin Lan’s request, on the condition that she must satisfy his every demand.

Qin Lan had no other choice but to agree.

Liu Kun, seeing that Qin Lan truly agreed, felt his wickedness magnified infinitely.

During this period, he tried various methods to humiliate Qin Lan, taking great pleasure in these acts.

Qin Lan could only swallow her pride and became a submissive, lowly woman, letting Liu Kun toy with her.

While Qin Lan was massaging Liu Kun’s leg, her phone began to ring.

She picked it up and answered.

After a while, Liu Kun asked impatiently, “Who’s calling you?

You seem very engaged!”

Qin Lan hung up the phone, looked at Liu Kun in a daze, and said, “Dear, the caller claimed to be from the Censorate Department.

She is investigating Lin Hu’s case.

They said Lu Chuan is a suspect in Lin Hu’s murder, so they want to investigate him through us.”

Liu Kun scoffed and said, “Don’t be ridiculous, as if Lu Chuan, that loser, could kill a master of Inner Strength like Lin Hu.

These people at the Censorate Department are really stupid.

Why investigate a loser?

They’ll be lucky to find the killer.”

Qin Lan then said, “Dear, although that loser Lu Chuan couldn’t possibly have killed Lin Hu, if…

if we were willing to be witnesses and insist that Lin Hu was indeed killed by Lu Chuan, couldn’t we get that damned guy thrown in jail?”

Liu Kun was stunned at first, but then he perked up.

He slapped his thigh and excitedly said, “Brilliant!

That bastard Lu Chuan caused us so much suffering; this is the perfect chance for our revenge!”

Qin Lan also got excited, “Dear, see, I am quite smart, right?

Don’t you want to reward me?”

Liu Kun sneered, “You did well this time, so I’ll reward you with a beating with the whip.

Go get the whip.”

Qin Lan’s expression stiffened, then she coquettishly said, “Dear, the person from the Censorate Department is coming to talk to us soon, let’s…

let’s wait until tonight.”

Liu Kun smiled playfully, “Fine, then we’ll wait for tonight.

I’m in a good mood today, we’ll try something thrilling later.”

…

Lu Chuan made his way to the eastern part of the city and entered a beautifully scenic water park.

“The Spiritual Energy here is several times denser than elsewhere.

If I take the Spirit Melding Pill here and hasten the absorption of Spiritual Energy, the chance of a breakthrough will be greatly increased.”

He arrived in front of a small grove, planning to cultivate there.

That’s when he noticed a middle-aged man wearing a martial arts uniform practicing punches on an open space within the grove.

The man’s punches carried Inner Strength, each one wielding tremendous power that set the fallen leaves on the ground dancing.

At first sight of the middle-aged man, Lu Chuan was overwhelmed by the man’s imposing manner.

He immediately recognized that the middle-aged man’s strength was unfathomable; he probably wouldn’t be able to withstand even one of his punches.

“This person’s strength must have surpassed Inner Force Stage 9.

I can’t believe I encountered such a master here.”

“Just to be safe, I should find another place.

If this man feels I’m disturbing his practice and decides to beat me, it would be troublesome.”

Lu Chuan turned to leave.

That’s when the middle-aged man suddenly ceased his exercises and, frowning, clutched at his chest, slowly squatting down in apparent pain.

Lu Chuan, sensing something was wrong and after slight hesitation, still approached the man.

“Senior, what’s wrong with you?

Are you feeling unwell?” Lu Chuan asked.

The middle-aged man, forehead covered in cold sweat, looked up at Lu Chuan and said, “My heart disease is acting up.

Young man, please call an ambulance for me, and quickly!”

Lu Chuan immediately squatted down, checked his pulse, and realized that his heart was indeed having major issues, far from being a simple heart condition.

If not treated promptly, the middle-aged man might die right there, and waiting for an ambulance would be useless.

Without hesitation, he took out an acupuncture kit from his clothes and said, “Senior, I know some medical skills.

Your condition is very serious, and we don’t have time to wait for an ambulance.

Lie down and I’ll treat you.”

The middle-aged man clearly didn’t trust Lu Chuan and said, “No need, you…”

Lu Chuan frowned, rebuked sharply, “Stop talking nonsense!

If we delay any further, you’ll lose your life.

Lie down immediately!”
