In the villa halfway up the mountain, Xie Wei was attempting a breakthrough in the pavilion.

After refining the powerful spiritual energy gifted by the Ruthless Immortal, his body underwent a tremendous transformation. The previously saturated spiritual energy became even purer and more concentrated. Every strand of spiritual energy seemed to contain boundless power, flowing with a crisp sound, like melodious music.

Judging from the spiritual energy he has refined, he estimates that he can break through one or two more realms, which is something every cultivator dreams of.

However, during the breakthrough, he discovered a problem—his body seemed unable to withstand such a massive amount of spiritual power.

Despite his long period of cultivation and training, his body still felt somewhat powerless against such a powerful surge of spiritual energy. He felt his meridians and acupoints beginning to ache, as if they were being torn apart. Forcing a breakthrough could potentially cause serious damage to his body.

Therefore, he decided to temporarily stop refining spiritual energy and instead focus on consolidating his cultivation. He used the spiritual energy he had just acquired to continuously strengthen his meridians and acupoints, enabling them to better accommodate and guide the flow of spiritual energy. At the same time, he also began to study how to utilize this spiritual energy more effectively to unleash its greatest power.

In this process, he gradually mastered some skills and methods, which made the flow of spiritual energy smoother and its power stronger.

If he were to face Baihu again in his current state, a crushing defeat would be no problem.

He slowly withdrew the spiritual energy protecting his body, then gently exhaled a breath of stale air, as if releasing the fatigue and pressure within his body. He lowered his head slightly, his eyes intently examining his physical condition, seemingly carefully sensing the changes in every cell.

After confirming that there were no problems, I stood up, looked out the window of the attic, and let my mind wander.

The matter in Nancheng is over, and the God Lord has shown himself. This means that this farce is about to come to an end. He needs to become stronger in order to protect the people he wants to protect.

However, it seems that this matter cannot be rushed. The breakthrough needs to be put on hold for a while, and the physical training and mental tempering need to catch up.

After taking a bath, Xie Wei felt completely relaxed. Wearing loose pajamas and slippers, she hummed a little tune as she went downstairs.

As soon as I arrived at the living room on the first floor, I heard the sound of the door being opened, and then I saw Zhao Yujin push the door open and enter.

At this moment, Zhao Yujin was wearing a black tank top-style suspender dress, had just changed out of her black high heels, and had a black autumn coat draped over her shoulders. Today, she was going for the style of a boss lady.

Upon seeing Xie Wei, Zhao Yujin didn't even bother to put on her slippers. She threw off her coat and ran into Xie Wei's arms in a few quick steps.

Seeing this, Xie Wei chuckled helplessly, wrapped his arms around her waist, picked her up, and placed her on the sofa.

"And you're not wearing shoes."

"I missed you so much," Zhao Yujin hugged Xie Wei tightly, burying her head in his chest. "With my physique, I'm fine even if I go barefoot."

"You still need to wear shoes, since you're barefoot," Xie Wei said, gently tapping her forehead.

Regardless of the world he lived in, the education he received taught him that running around barefoot would make him catch a cold and was bad for his health, especially for girls.

Zhao Yujin smiled and looked at Xie Wei, saying, "I'm not barefoot."

Um?

Xie Wei glanced at her feet and saw that her toenails were painted with grayish-white nail polish and sprinkled with some loose powder, making her already white feet appear even whiter. She was wearing a thin layer of skin-colored stockings, which added a touch of allure.

Seeing that Xie Wei was paying more attention, Zhao Yujin looked at Xie Wei with a wicked smile, her eyes almost overflowing with provocation, "Do you want to...?"

Xie Wei knew this person wasn't planning on saying anything nice, so he interrupted him directly.

"Why did you suddenly come back? Have you finished dealing with things with the National Security Bureau?"

The national security operation detained all the foreigners who had illegally crossed into Nancheng. Everything was done according to the rules, without any favoritism or compromise. These foreigners are under strict surveillance, awaiting their countries of origin to claim them.

Because of a shortage of manpower, they approached Zhao Yujin. Since the current situation stemmed from gang-related issues, she naturally had no reason to refuse. Therefore, Zhao Yujin has been extremely busy these past few days. She not only has to handle matters between gangs but also arrange manpower to assist the National Security Bureau.

By the way, with Wu Yue dead, the Shark Gang leader naturally kept his promise and surrendered, while Blake, whom we met last time, escaped.

When Xie Wei brought up the matter, Zhao Yujin looked away guiltily and stammered, "Um... almost there." As she spoke, she secretly observed Xie Wei's expression.

Seeing the other person's appearance, Xie Wei knew that this person had rushed back without finishing their business, and he couldn't help but feel helpless and heartbroken. He sighed, reached out and gently stroked Zhao Yujin's hair, his fingers softly combing through her smooth strands, and then gently stroked her nose. His eyes were full of doting and tenderness as he whispered, "Be careful not to get gossiped about upstairs."

Zhao Yujin raised her head, looked firmly and seriously into Xie Wei's eyes, and nodded vigorously to indicate that she would pay attention.

She remembered that she nodded like that last time, and she still ran back.

Xie Wei could only shake his head helplessly and smile.

Seeing that the topic was being ignored, a sly glint flashed in Zhao Yujin's eyes. She suddenly stood up, then knelt on the sofa, wrapped her arms around Xie Wei, and pulled her two straps up to her sides. In this way, the original dress instantly became a strapless long dress, making her look incredibly charming.

Zhao Yujin tilted her head slightly, looked at Xie Wei with deep affection, and murmured.

"A Small Journey"

"Was this... was this how you wore these clothes just now?"

Zhao Yujin's voice was gentle and deep: "I think... you look prettier like this!" After saying that, she blinked gently, as if showing off her charm to Xie Wei.

Oh no! This fairy came back thinking about these things...

"Isn't it beautiful?" Zhao Yujin looked at Xie Wei, her desire barely concealed, and her face slowly drew closer.

Xie Wei stared intently at the other person's lips, slowly lowering his head to get closer. His breathing became increasingly rapid, and he could almost hear his heartbeat.

Under Xie Wei's guidance, Yu Jin's kissing skills have become quite proficient. She has even begun to take the initiative, holding him tightly and responding passionately to his kisses. Their breathing becomes rapid and intense, as if the whole world consists only of each other.

Xie Wei pressed Zhao Yujin down onto the sofa and casually released the soundproof shield.

"Don't rush..." Zhao Yujin said softly, "Lie down, I'll do it..."

Zhao Yujin's voice grew softer and softer until Xie Wei could no longer hear what she was saying. He assumed that she was upset about losing to him last time and wanted revenge, so he obediently lay down on the sofa.

……(no way)

Zhao Yujin smiled contentedly and was about to grab a tissue to clean up when Xie Wei suddenly stood up, causing Zhao Yujin to gasp in surprise.

A tearing sound followed, and the echo lingered in the room.
