"Can't you be normal for once?" Bai Wei was slightly speechless. In her opinion, Ye Xingchen was the kind of person who was unruly and unyielding. Now, he was flattering her like this, which made her very uncomfortable.
"Hehe, I hope we'll have the opportunity to collaborate in the future," Ye Xingchen said with a sly smile.
Bai Wei was somewhat pleased by these words. Ye Xingchen meant that he did not want any further conflict with Futu Mountain.
Mount Futu is one of the three most remote and uncivilized places, and it still has power and influence, which makes Bai Wei feel a sense of pride.
After landing, the two parted ways. Ye Xingchen promised to share all his knowledge and insights with them a few days later, and then they would go their separate ways.
In the following days, Nanjing was in turmoil.
Almost all nightclubs were shut down and investigated, and a swift operation was carried out with the cooperation of the military.
The criminal gang represented by the Cheng family was eradicated, with nearly a thousand people arrested, including many from both the political and business spheres.
The police also conducted a major purge, completely eliminating some of the protectors. After this, Nanjing will have at least ten years of peace.
Downstream on the river, on a shallow beach a hundred kilometers from Nanjing, a man was swept ashore by the current.
The man was swollen all over and looked like he had been dead for some time. He was none other than Cheng Qiang, whom the police had been looking for in recent days.
With hundreds of crimes, enough to warrant his death ten times over, no one expected that this notorious gang leader, wanted by the police, would die quietly on the shallows.
Suddenly, a cloud of green mist appeared. This cloud of green mist had been hovering above the river for a long time, and seemed a little confused.
It seemed to have discovered Cheng Qiang, who was lying lifeless on the shallows, and seemed to have sensed the resentment emanating from the corpse. The green mist spun around once and finally settled above Cheng Qiang's body.
They kept circling the corpse, and then seemed to have finally identified their target.
A cloud of green mist suddenly thickened and entered Cheng Qiang's seven orifices.
Cheng Qiang's corpse trembled violently. Suddenly, his body twisted backward in a bizarre way, and then his two eyes snapped open.
The green mist completely penetrated his corpse, and the moment it entered, his body underwent a change.
He closed his eyes, seemingly absorbing the inexplicably appearing green mist. After a long while, he finally opened his eyes and slowly stood up.
His gaze was somewhat vacant, and the expression on his face seemed to be unpredictable. He stretched out his hands, looked at his only remaining palm, and revealed a thoughtful expression.
He closed his eyes, and his severed arm twisted and turned, until a new arm grew back.
Looking at his palms, he wore a thoughtful expression.
Suddenly, as if he had remembered something, his expression twisted and his eyes turned green.
Within those dark green eyes, the pupils had become narrow slits.
The presence of eyes unique to cold-blooded animals on a human makes the prejudice against someone who has been brought back from the dead even more bizarre.
Ye Xingchen's image was reflected in his pupils, and the hatred on his face intensified.
Finally, he calmed down and realized that he once had a name—Hua Li.
A snake demon who was blessed by heaven to transform into human form ahead of time, however, just a few nights ago, because he was fighting with Ye Xingchen for a woman, Ye Xingchen chopped off his head.
His primordial spirit managed to escape and has been wandering around Jinling for the past few days, searching for a suitable host to possess and reborn.
He happened to encounter the dead Cheng Qiang in this place. Even in death, Cheng Qiang harbored intense resentment and a strong desire for revenge, which made Hua Li choose him instantly.
He is no longer Cheng Qiang, but Hua Li, but he retains a part of Cheng Qiang's memories, namely the resentful memories about Ye Xingchen.
The two of them turned out to be the same person.
Hua Li slowly closed his eyes, merging his primordial spirit with Cheng Qiang's. He knew that he had just possessed a body and his strength was far inferior to Ye Xingchen's.
Now, having absorbed a portion of Cheng Qiang's memories, he is no longer the one who had just transformed into human form and knew nothing about this unfamiliar world.
He possessed human cunning and treachery; now, all he needed to do was find a reliable backer and slowly play along with Ye Xingchen.
In a quiet private room at the Celebrity Club.
Ruxin sat cross-legged with his hands clasped together, having been in meditation for three days and three nights.
After eliminating Hua Li with Ye Xingchen that night, he returned and remained in a meditative state.
Food was laid out in front of him, and it had been heated up, cooled down, and then heated up again several times.
But he never opened his eyes to look, let alone picked up his chopsticks to eat a single bite of food.
Shui Xin gently pushed open the door and walked in. Looking at the untouched food, she couldn't help but sigh softly.
She picked up the tray of food and had it taken out, then sat down next to Ruxin.
Seeing that Ruxin remained in a meditative state, she sighed softly and then sat cross-legged opposite Ruxin.
She rested her chin on her hand, gazing intently at Ruxin before her, her eyes filled with adoration.
Ruxin's meditation was not peaceful this time; his brows were tightly furrowed, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.
Shuixin was startled. She quickly stood up and reached out to wipe the cold sweat from Ruxin's forehead, but hesitated after extending her hand.
She knew that Ruxin was currently in a meditative state, which might be the most crucial time in her practice. If she touched Ruxin's body, it could very likely cause irreversible consequences.
However, Ruxin's forehead was covered in even more cold sweat, and large beads of sweat streamed down his bald head, quickly soaking his monk's robe.
Shui Xin was a little anxious. She leaned forward and tentatively called out, "Ru Xin? Master Ru Xin, wake up... what's wrong?"
She couldn't help but reach out, her icy fingertips touching Ru Xin's body. The moment her hand touched Ru Xin's body, she suddenly felt an extremely strong force surging from her.
"Ah..." Shui Xin cried out in pain, her body flying backward and crashing heavily into the wall behind her. The arm she touched, which had been on Ru Xin's arm, was incredibly numb and tingling.
She felt her legs go weak. Ru Xin's body was covered in true energy, and the moment she touched her, the true energy rebounded, leaving her with some hidden injuries.
Although Shui Xin was proficient in the three levels of seduction, she did not know martial arts. Her seduction skills were unparalleled, so the backlash from Ru Xin's true energy earlier had injured her.
Just as she was struggling to get up, a hand touched her arm and helped her up, while a gentle, heavenly voice sounded in her ear: "Are you alright?"
