This Kid Was About to Strike It Rich!

Xu Suwen frowned deeply at his words.

Her manner was hardly that of a proper young lady, but taking off her clothes in front of a man was still something she found difficult to accept.

Far down the corridor, that Evil Spirit was almost fully recovered.

"Miss Xu, there isn't much time left to hesitate." Jiang Yun was anxious and hurriedly reminded her.

Xu Suwen squeezed her eyes shut, yet still shook her head. "I can't do something like that."

Jiang Yun had expected this answer long ago. "I understand. That's why I have to help you."

"You!" Xu Suwen glanced toward the Evil Spirit not far away, drew a deep breath, and spent a long while steeling herself.

Only then did she turn her back to Jiang Yun, close her eyes, and remove her outer garment, revealing her fair back. Gritting her teeth, she said, "Hurry."

Jiang Yun nodded slightly, bit his finger, and swiftly wrote a complex talisman across her back.

It was not that Jiang Yun wanted to take advantage of Xu Suwen. This incantation was intricate and complicated, and it had to be written in one continuous stroke.

There was no way he could finish it on her arm.

Before long, Jiang Yun had used his blood to write a lengthy, complex incantation across her entire back.

"What do I do next?"

"Follow me." Jiang Yun formed a hand seal with one hand, and Xu Suwen beside him copied his movements.

"Profound Ancestor of Heaven and Earth, root of all qi. Cultivated through countless eons, proving my divine powers. Within and beyond the Three Realms, the Dao alone reigns supreme. Golden light fills my body, covering and illuminating me."

Xu Suwen followed along and recited it as well.

Seeing this, Jiang Yun's heart sank slightly, and he reminded her, "Miss Xu, calm your mind!"

"This is the Golden Light Divine Incantation of the Daoist School, not crude miscellaneous learning like the Lightning Palm Strike. Your heart must not be chaotic, nor may it harbor distractions."

"If you truly can't manage it, then while chanting, imagine that you are the sun."

Sweat beaded across Xu Suwen's forehead. As she followed Jiang Yun in chanting the incantation, she desperately imagined herself as the blazing sun hanging overhead.

"Roar."

At last, the monster had taken shape. A massive mass of minced flesh seemed to be glued together by sticky blood and meat, writhing as it moved toward the two of them.

Its consciousness had completely collapsed. It was a fusion of the Evil Woman and that Evil Haunt; with their minds tangled together, it had descended into utter chaos.

Yet at this moment, she had one clear objective: kill the man and woman before her.

The stench of blood steadily closed in through the narrow corridor.

Jiang Yun looked at Xu Suwen, who stood with her back to him and continued chanting, his heart burning with anxiety.

But he no longer dared urge her on.

Even if this failed, there was no other way.

Finally, when the Evil Spirit was within ten meters of them.

Xu Suwen suddenly stopped chanting. Jiang Yun's heart skipped a beat, and he thought they had failed completely.

"Miss Xu, let's get out of the dungeon first." Jiang Yun glanced at the exit not far away.

To his surprise, a dazzling golden radiance slowly bloomed from Xu Suwen's fair skin.

That golden light grew brighter and brighter, so blinding that Jiang Yun could not even open his eyes.

He hurriedly covered his eyes with his hand, not daring to look directly at it.

"What is this?" The Evil Haunt made from hundreds of chunks of flesh was instantly struck by that light.

"What is this thing?"

"What Dao art is this?"

"I've never heard of such a Dao art in the Daoist Sect of Great Zhou."

The voices of Ghost Granny and the Evil Spirit kept rising from within the minced flesh.

Their voices were filled with terror. They fought to flee, but beneath the sunlight, there was nowhere to hide.

Boom.

The Evil Spirit formed from that entire mass of flesh burst into raging flames and was continuously scorched.

Its hisses and screams gradually faded, replaced by the sight of every scrap of flesh burning into black ash across the ground.

Only after the Evil Spirit had been completely eliminated did the light around Xu Suwen gradually fade.

Then, with a thud, she fell to the ground and fainted.

She had exhausted herself completely.

The Golden Light Divine Incantation had drained all the Magic Power from her body.

Seeing this, Jiang Yun hurried forward to check on her. Only after confirming that Xu Suwen was unharmed and had merely fainted did he finally let out a heavy sigh of relief.

Then, seeing how disheveled and half-clothed she was, he hurriedly prepared to help her get dressed.

But on second thought, he felt that would be inappropriate.

She was an unmarried young maiden. One must not look upon impropriety.

He closed his eyes and dressed her by feel in the dark.

After struggling for a long while, he finally got Xu Suwen's clothes more or less back on.

At last, he opened his eyes, only to discover that Xu Suwen's eyes were slightly open.

She was weak, but fully awake.

"Miss Xu, you're awake?" Jiang Yun froze, forcing out a smile.

"I've been awake the whole time." Xu Suwen's voice was so faint that even speaking took effort.

"But I clearly saw you faint."

A flush crept over Xu Suwen's cheeks as she ground her teeth. "I was exhausted. I only wanted to close my eyes and rest for a moment."

"Then you closed your eyes, and your hands started wandering all over me."

"They weren't wandering," Jiang Yun argued. "I was helping Miss Xu get dressed."

"You..." Xu Suwen gritted her teeth and struggled to sit up. "You have ruined my reputation. I'll kill you."

Suddenly, Jiang Yun crouched beside Xu Suwen, grabbed her hand, and guided it all over his own body. "Now you've touched me too. We're even."

"By my count, you even touched me twice more. I'm a generous man, so I won't hold it against you."

Jiang Yun was a very fair person. Since Xu Suwen believed he had taken advantage of her, he would let her take advantage of him in return.

Xu Suwen stared at him in utter disbelief, yet she truly had no strength to get up.

Just then, Qian Bochou's voice came from above the dungeon. "Lord Xu, Brother Jiang, are you two all right? Shall I come down?"

At this thought, Xu Suwen hurriedly said, "Quick, straighten out my clothes. They're such a mess that Constable Qian will definitely misunderstand."

Though she was dressed, her clothing was extremely disordered, clearly looking as though it had been put on in haste.

At once, Jiang Yun stepped forward, but reminded her, "You asked for this one. Don't say I'm taking advantage of you again."

"Fine." Xu Suwen drew a deep breath and nodded.

Under Xu Suwen's guidance, Jiang Yun hurriedly adjusted her clothes.

At this moment, Qian Bochou carefully made his way into the dungeon, worried about what was happening below.

After all, the two of them had been down there for quite some time.

If anything had happened to Xu Suwen, all his efforts would have been for nothing.

Holding his saber, he cautiously entered the dungeon. The moment he came down, he saw Jiang Yun fumbling about as he arranged Xu Suwen's clothes.

Xu Suwen was even instructing him on how to dress her.

"You're hopeless. That's not how you put this on, and you tied the belt wrong too..."

Xu Suwen's voice was somewhat weak, but to Qian Bochou's ears, it sounded as though she were acting coyly with Jiang Yun.

Hiss.

Qian Bochou sucked in a sharp breath, hurriedly turned around, and waited for a long while until the two had finished arranging her clothes.

Only then did Qian Bochou call out loudly, "Lord Xu, Brother Jiang, may I come in now?"

"Come in."

Jiang Yun's voice came from inside, and only then did Qian Bochou enter.

At that moment, Jiang Yun was squatting beside Xu Suwen, while her little face was slightly pale, looking utterly drained.

"It isn't what you think." Xu Suwen gritted her teeth as she explained.

"If Lord Xu says it isn't, then it definitely isn't." Qian Bochou nodded emphatically and raised a hand. "If I go outside and spout nonsense, may heaven strike me with five thunderbolts."

Jiang Yun rolled his eyes at Xu Suwen, unable to stop himself from thinking, I might as well not have straightened out her clothes for her.

And the way Qian Bochou looked at Jiang Yun was exceptionally heated.

He had never imagined that Jiang Yun, a young scholar who knew a little magic, had progressed this far with Xu Suwen.

Then, thinking of Xu Suwen's identity, Qian Bochou drew a deep breath and suddenly realized, This kid was about to strike it rich!

Two more chapters are being written.
