34: Chapter 34 Angry Sister-in-law_1 34: Chapter 34 Angry Sister-in-law_1 Just as Lu Chuan was about to reach the door and glimpse the mysterious scene inside, the sound from within stopped.

Immediately after, footsteps could be heard.

Lu Chuan’s hairs stood on end, and he was ready to flee at once.

But the next second, the door opened and Mu Nanqing emerged wearing a spaghetti strap nightgown.

Her hair was disheveled, her cheeks flushed, and the straps were slipping, as if they could fall off at any moment; she probably hadn’t cared since she thought no one was home.

The very next second, when she saw Lu Chuan standing right outside her room, she was dumbfounded.

With an embarrassed face, Lu Chuan met Mu Nanqing’s eyes and stuttered, “Sister-in-law, you’re home, I…

I didn’t hear anything just now, I was just passing by, I definitely wasn’t trying to look inside!”

Mu Nanqing’s face turned beet red, she turned around with shame, and slammed the door shut, panting heavily against it, “This is so embarrassing, so embarrassing, why did Xiaochuan come back so early today, oh my, how can I face anyone after this!”

Lu Chuan stared at the closed door for a few seconds, coughed lightly, and quickly said, “Sister-in-law, I’m going back to my room, call me when it’s time to eat.”

After speaking, he hurried back to his room.

He then reflected, “My brother has been gone for so many years, and sister-in-law has been alone all this time, it can’t continue like this…”

During dinner.

Both Lu Chuan and Mu Nanqing had their own thoughts, heads down, neither speaking.

Mu Nanqing kept sneaking glances at Lu Chuan and would hurriedly look away when he glanced back, still not recovered from her earlier embarrassment.

After a while, both of them started to speak at the same time.

“Sister-in-law.”

“Xiaochuan.”

Lu Chuan quickly said, “Sister-in-law, you go first.”

Mu Nanqing smoothed her hair, “I…

I don’t have anything to say, you go ahead.”

Only then did Lu Chuan speak, “Sister-in-law, considering my brother has been gone for so many years, and although I know you two were close, you should also think about your own happiness for the second half of your life.

If there is a chance, consider finding someone else.”

Mu Nanqing frowned and put her chopsticks down, “What nonsense are you talking about Xiaochuan!”

Lu Chuan hurriedly said, “Sister-in-law, I’m thinking of you, my brother certainly wouldn’t want you to be alone all the time.”

Mu Nanqing’s face turned stern, “Whether I’m alone or not, it’s my own business, I don’t need you to worry about me, I’m done eating, you wash the dishes later.”

With that, she got up and went back to her room, closing the door loudly behind her.

Lu Chuan was completely baffled, “Wasn’t I just kindly reminding her, why would she get angry about it?”

After a while, he sighed, “Perhaps sister-in-law still has my brother in her heart.”

Once he had finished eating, Lu Chuan washed the dishes, cleaned up, went back to his room, and began to cultivate.

Mu Nanqing, however, lay on the bed, hugging a pillow, muttering, “Stinky Xiaochuan, naughty Xiaochuan, I’ll hit you, hit you…”

…

At Qin Lan’s home.

Qin Lan and Liu Kun were celebrating that Lu Chuan had been arrested.

“Just thinking of that stinky loser Lu Chuan spending the rest of his life inside makes me really happy!”

Liu Kun finished his beer in one go and then said to Qin Lan, “Come here.”

Qin Lan immediately sat in Liu Kun’s arms, her face full of charm, “You’re right, that scum has brought us bad luck for so long, and now it’s finally his turn, I’m very happy about it.”

Liu Kun’s hand roamed her body, and then he revealed a mischievous smile, “Since we’re so happy today, how about I tell you some good news, what do you say?”

Qin Lan asked with curiosity, “What good news?”

Liu Kun said, “My dad entertained a few clients today, and if he can clinch them, he’ll have a chance to return to the position of general manager.”

Qin Lan’s eyes lit up, “Really?

Then we are truly blessed with double happiness!”

Liu Kun changed the subject, “However, clinching these clients is a bit tricky, they like to brawl, so you’ll have to accompany them tonight.

Once the deal is sealed, I’ll take you on a trip, how does that sound?”

Qin Lan’s face stiffened, then she said ingratiatingly, “Darling, don’t joke with me, I belong only to you.”

Liu Kun’s expression chilled, and he slapped her hard across the face, “Damn it, if I tell you to go, you go, what’s with all the talk, if you don’t go, I’ll upload those videos we took before to the internet right now!”

“Are you going or not?”

Qin Lan covered her face, full of grievance, and finally could only bite her lip and say, “I’ll go, is that okay?”

She never expected Liu Kun to treat her this way.

Liu Kun chuckled coldly, “That’s better, behave.

Since you’re so obedient, I’ll reward you by letting you please me.”

He pressed Qin Lan down on the sofa.

Then the doorbell rang.

Liu Kun cursed quietly, “Who the hell is disrupting me at this time!”

He went to open the door, ready to lash out in anger, but as he saw a group of uniformed individuals enter, he recoiled in shock.

“What…

what do you want?”

Zhang showed his badge and said coldly, “You are suspected of plotting a murder for hire, the evidence against you is conclusive, please come with us for questioning!”

…

The next morning.

Lu Chuan had recovered to his peak state.

He left his room to find Mu Nanqing had already left the house, and on the table, she had left him a prepared breakfast.

“It seems sister-in-law is really mad at me, I need to think of a way to make it up to her.”

With a helpless shake of his head, Lu Chuan ate his breakfast, then headed towards East City Park.

On the way, he received a message from Yu Qingfeng.

It started with a photo of Liu Kun’s imprisonment.

In the picture, Liu Kun looked overcast with despair, his face marred by several scratch marks, seemingly fresh.

“After Liu Kun and Qin Lan were caught, Qin Lan strenuously denied involvement in the incident, claiming that everything was planned by Liu Kun and she knew nothing about it.”

“Liu Kun retorted that it was Qin Lan’s idea, and the two had a fierce fight in the detention room, hurling insults at each other, with the situation momentarily spiraling out of control.”

“Eventually, our people found Liu Kun’s transfer records to Lin Bao but failed to find any evidence of Qin Lan’s involvement; therefore, we could only arrest Liu Kun and release Qin Lan.”

After reading it, a smile couldn’t help appearing on Lu Chuan’s face, “The two of them were inseparable day in and day out, but when real trouble came, it’s still dog-eat-dog, a joke indeed.”

Though it was a bit regrettable that Qin Lan wasn’t captured, with Lu Chuan’s current perspective, he hardly cared about such matters anymore.

Qin Lan, punished by the Qin family, now without the support of Liu Kun, would only have harder times ahead.

“Now, my enemies are Long Hao and Long Tianya; Qin Lan is nothing but a passing cloud to me.”

Upon arriving at East City Park, he went into a small grove.

Lu Chuan turned off his phone.

He started by consuming several Profound Origin Pills, then swallowed a Spirit Melding Pill.

In just a few breaths, Lu Chuan felt all his pores open up as the surrounding Spiritual Energy surged into his body through them.

He was shaken by the unprecedented rate of absorbing Spiritual Energy.

“The effect of the Spirit Melding Pill is truly astonishing.

Indeed, it’s an elixir pill refined with fifty-year-old ginseng!”

He didn’t waste time; immediately, he focused his mind, absorbing the Spiritual Energy like a whale drinks water, transforming it into Spiritual Power and storing it in his Dantian.

The morning passed.

Lu Chuan’s tightly closed eyes suddenly snapped open, an invisible aura sweeping around him, causing leaves on the ground to rustle loudly.

He stood up and threw a punch, the powerful Inner Strength splitting the fallen leaves on the ground in two.

Qi Cultivation Level 3!

Lu Chuan’s lips curved into a smile, feeling that with his current strength, handling a seventh-stage Inner Strength Martial Artist would be easy, and he could even put up a fight with an eighth-stage expert.

As for ninth-stage experts, that remained uncertain.

“If it’s the current me, I should be able to take a punch or two from experts of Yu Qingfeng’s caliber now.”

“I wonder who is stronger when it comes to Yu Qingfeng and Long Tianya.”

He didn’t get carried away by the improvement in his strength, understanding that any hint of complacency before reaching the peak could lead to premature demise, which is a lesson documented in the legacy his grandfather left for him.

Only by being the strongest could one have no fears; he was still far from it.

“Now that I’ve reached Qi Cultivation Level 3, I have the ability to refine some ordinary Magic Artifacts for protection.”

One difference between Cultivators and Martial Artists is that Martial Artists rely solely on fists and feet, whereas Cultivators can use not only their personal strength but also powerful Magic Artifacts and various dazzling techniques against their enemies.

A good Magic Artifact can maximize a Cultivator’s strength.

“However, after buying the herbs last time, I’ve got only a few thousand yuan left.

I can’t even think of buying materials to refine Magic Artifacts.

If I can’t earn some money, even eating next month will be a problem.”

Lu Chuan started to get a headache about money matters again.

He turned on his phone, immediately receiving reminders of over thirty missed calls, all from Ning Xin.

“What on earth does this lady want?

We aren’t even that close,” he wondered.

To prevent Ning Xin from continuing her call bombardment, he took the initiative and called her back.

As soon as the call connected, Ning Xin’s bellowing voice came through, “Why didn’t you answer my calls!

All I did was have a little argument with you when we first met, do you have to be so petty?”

Lu Chuan hurriedly said, “Miss, I really was busy, I had to turn off my phone.

What’s the matter that you’re looking for me?

Has your burn scar flared up again?”

Ning Xin’s tone softened somewhat, “No, that’s not it.

I need your help with something.”

“What is it?”

“I need to tell you in person.

Come and find me.”

“Miss, I’m really busy.

Can’t you just tell me now?”

“Hey, why are you like this?

Do I not look as pretty as Mengyao to you?

You’re so willing to jump whenever Mengyao calls but you’re so impatient with me, and my bust size is bigger than hers!”

Lu Chuan was embarrassed, “Miss, not everyone is as carefree as you.

I still need to figure out how to make money.

Please, give me a break.”

Ning Xin said, “If you come to see me, I’ll give you a hundred thousand as payment.”

Lu Chuan jumped up at once, “Dear boss, where are you?

I’m coming right now.”

Ning Xin: “…”

Half an hour later.

Lu Chuan arrived at the location Ning Xin had specified.

It was a coffee shop.

From a distance, Lu Chuan saw Ning Xin sitting by the window.

She was wearing a JK uniform, her hair flowing down, paired with her beautiful Eurasian features, turning heads all around.

Logically, that outfit was supposed to convey an innocent freshness, but on her, it translated into a sexy vibe.

“She wasn’t lying, hers are indeed bigger than Mengyao’s,” Lu Chuan secretly assessed.

Ning Xin was holding a makeup mirror, tidying her hair, and with the burn scar on her arm gone, she seemed much more confident.

“What’s there to fuss about with hair?

If I were a girl, wanting to please men, I’d surely start by unbuttoning the top two buttons,” Lu Chuan thought, smirking.

Unfortunately, in Ning Xin’s eyes, he was nothing but a pervert, almost certain never to gain favor from such a beauty.

However, the next second, he saw Ning Xin unbuttoning the top two buttons on her chest, and he stood there stunned.
