After brushing the gold paint off his body with a steel wool, Qiao Yuan boiled a pot of hot water, took two kilograms of chocolate balls, and started to set off according to the location given by Jia Hong.

Because the distance was long, Qiao Yuan chose a taxi this time.

About half an hour later, Qiao Yuan finally arrived outside the community that Jia Hong mentioned.

The address is a bit remote, located in the urban-rural fringe area.

At first glance, it is easy to see that this is an old-fashioned residential area with only four or five low buildings. The outer wall, which is half a meter high, has long been mottled and yellowed, and the top is full of broken glass.

Graffiti advertising lock opening, large sums of money for children, etc. are everywhere.

Inside the wall, there are many lush trees and the chirping of various cicadas can be heard one after another.

Several shops outside the community were closed, and eye-catching white papers announcing the transfer of popular shops were posted on the doors.

After watching for a while, Qiao Yuan saw only a few elderly people coming in and out. He took out his phone and said, "I'm here. Where are you?"

Jia Hong: "Room 401, Building 3, 4th Floor."

Qiao Yuan: "OK, I'll be there soon."

Qiao Yuan put away his phone and did not enter the community immediately. Instead, he walked around the community.

There was only a security guard who seemed to have lost all his teeth guarding the gate. I didn't see a single car coming in or out for a long time. It seemed that there were not many people living there.

Finally, Qiao Yuan came to the back, where there was a rusty iron door.

The iron gate remained tightly closed, as if it had never been opened before, with only a small door opened to allow electric vehicles to pass through.

This was the first time that he had actively searched for a strange spirit, so it was better to be cautious and observe the nearby escape routes first to ensure that he could leave safely even if he was defeated.

Energy value is important, but your life is also precious. It is okay to fight for a stranger, but it must be within a certain range.

After spending half an hour, Qiao Yuan finally arrived at the gate and briefly inquired about the situation there.

From the old man, I learned that there was indeed a mother and son living in Room 401, Fourth Floor, Unit 3, and they had lived there for more than ten years.

The head of the household's name is Jia Hong, and there is no other special information.

…

Enter the community.

When I arrived at Unit 3, a strange smell was faintly noticeable.

It was the scent of a woman's perfume. Qiao Yuan didn't know what type it was, as he had no research in this area. Anyway, it smelled a little pungent.

I went to the fourth floor alone and knocked on the door of 401.

Boom boom boom

The iron door made a loud noise.

Crunch

The door opened, and a charming woman with lipstick on appeared in front of Qiao Yuan.

This mature figure... is amazing!

People's first impression is often determined by appearance, and from the first moment he saw this woman, a voice in Qiao Yuan's mind told him.

I'm just lusting after her body!

This signal continues from the brain.

Completely different from Li Xiaoling's seemingly cool feeling, this woman is really something.

It’s no wonder that Jia Hong was deceived.

Qiao Yuan opened the thermos and took a sip of hot water.

[Cultivation +1]

The voice in my head finally became a little weaker. This is the benefit of improving my cultivation.

All kinds of attributes are being improved in all aspects, which is different from the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art which mainly focuses on attack and defense.

The improvement in cultivation is overall, although it is very small!

"Who are you?"

The woman at the door showed a charming and seductive smile.

Qiao Yuan picked up the thermos, took another sip of hot water, and looked at the charming woman in front of him wearing a red apron.

"I'm Jia Hong's friend. He hasn't been to work for several days, so I came to see him."

Qiao Yuan responded with an innocent smile.

"Oh... then come in."

The woman welcomed Qiao Yuan warmly, and then the door was closed.

…

"Honey, your friend is here."

The woman called out in a seductive tone, which made Qiao Yuan's soul numb for a moment. Then the woman took out food from the refrigerator and cooked it herself.

Qiao Yuan sighed in his heart again and thought that it was indeed not Jia Hong's fault. He just made a mistake that all vulgar men would make.

The entire living room is actually not very big. There are some fresh fruits on the table, and various household appliances are covered with a white patterned dust cloth. The air is filled with the scent of women's perfume. It can be seen that this family is very warm.

Qiao Yuan shifted his gaze to the wall.

There was a family photo hanging on the wall. Just as Jia Hong said, the photo only contained his so-called girlfriend and an old man.

It's like it's been replaced!

However... there was a family photo that caught Qiao Yuan's attention. There were three people in it.

It should be a family of three.

The old man in his youth, the middle-aged man in a shirt, and the little girl in her teens in front of them.

The little girl looks somewhat similar to the woman who opened the door. This family portrait must have been around for a long time.

There is absolutely no trace of photoshopping.

At this time, the woman came out of the kitchen, holding a kitchen knife in her hand and looking at Qiao Yuan with a smile.

…

I don’t know if the kitchen knife was stained with tomato juice or something else, but it looked like blood.

When she noticed Qiao Yuan's eyes fixed on the family photo, the woman came to Qiao Yuan and explained with a smile: "That is my favorite family photo. I was only 14 years old at that time. I was so happy and carefree."

"It's a pity... time can never be turned back. In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed. My father has passed away due to illness, and I have also grown old."

The woman's eyes were full of memories, and she sighed that time was unforgiving.
