"Crack!"
"Crack!"
"Crack!"
Yin Zhao's three lackeys turned to flee, but the moment they turned around, strange cracking sounds came from inside their bodies. Then, with a thud, all three fell to their knees!
In that instant, their expressions changed drastically, and terror completely filled their eyes!
Gone!
Their True Qi was gone!
Their meridians were all severed!
Crippled in an instant!
"Don't kill me! I was wrong! I shouldn't have provoked you, Senior!"
"Senior! Please let me go!"
"Spare my worthless life! I don't want to die! I don't want to die!"
The three knelt on the floor, begging for mercy!
Yet Chen Zheng did not even glance at them. With a casual flick of his finger, he had crippled all three. As for what to do with them next, he trusted Yan Susu could easily handle it.
"Let's go home."
Chen Zheng glanced at An Jing, then at Su Cheng, and said with a light chuckle.
"Oh..."
Whether she had drunk too much or for some other reason, An Jing seemed a little dazed.
Su Cheng, on the other hand, was perfectly clearheaded. She was not surprised that Chen Zheng had casually dealt with Poison Wolf, a renowned expert on the Black List.
After all, among the things this man had shown her that night were things far, far more terrifying than these so-called Black List experts. If those things appeared on Earth, it would not be as simple as wiping out China's Ancient Martial Arts world. They could destroy Earth with a single attack!
Those things belonged to myth!
"Young... Young Master Chen..."
Seeing that Chen Zheng was about to leave, Yan Susu came to her senses and hurriedly called out.
"Until next time, Miss Yan."
Chen Zheng gave Yan Susu a smile and left the Jasmine Bar with the two women.
"Chen Zheng..."
As Yan Susu watched his retreating figure, she suddenly recalled what she had told her niece Yang Xuefei last time. She had told Xuefei not to provoke this man, afraid that Xuefei would fall in love with him.
Yet at this moment, she felt as though she herself had already been deeply captivated by him!
"Young Master Chen is amazing... it was just like magic!"
"Yeah! I thought Young Master Chen was going to be killed by that palm strike. I never expected the bad guy to be the one who died!"
"Young Master Chen was so handsome just now!"
The Jasmine Bar's staff also came to their senses, and several young women spoke with lovestruck expressions.
Yan Susu merely shook her head lightly at their words. Then her gaze fell on Yin Zhao and the other three kneeling on the floor. Her expression instantly turned cold, and only an icy gleam remained in her eyes!
Su Cheng's home.
Past ten that night.
"Creak."
An Jing came out of the bathroom, wearing nothing but a bathrobe. Although she had taken a bath, she felt that something was wrong with her condition.
Seeing Chen Zheng watching television on the sofa, she walked over and sat beside him, resting her head naturally on his shoulder. Then she said softly, "Chen Zheng, help me take a look. Something feels wrong with my body. My True Qi seems to be surging wildly, like there's a fire inside me."
"A fire..."
Su Cheng had just come out of her bedroom and happened to hear what An Jing said. She froze slightly.
"If there's a fire, we'll just have to clear the channels."
Chen Zheng smiled.
"Clear the channels? How? Does that mean a man and a woman... you rascal, you're not trying to take this opportunity to do something to me, are you?"
At that, An Jing punched Chen Zheng with her little fist, though the blow was feeble.
Su Cheng knew what clearing the channels meant, because she had watched Chen Zheng clear An Jing's True Qi twice before. An Jing had been unconscious both times and probably did not know that Chen Zheng had already cleared her channels.
"If you really want to take this opportunity to do something to me... I could... huh? Why is my True Qi getting more and more chaotic? I can't take it. I'm so dizzy!"
A hint of bashfulness suddenly appeared on An Jing's pretty face, and her voice grew somewhat dreamy. But before she could finish speaking, she fainted against Chen Zheng again.
The True Qi inside An Jing had knocked her unconscious again!
"What... what's going on?"
Su Cheng frowned slightly.
An Jing had fainted more than once because of the problem with her True Qi. If this was some sort of aftereffect, then... that was hardly a good thing!
"An Jing has a special constitution. After eating my Immortal Ascension Banquet and Beast Banquet, she hasn't fully absorbed them. Once she touches alcohol, problems easily arise. Alcohol acts as a catalyst, stimulating her special constitution."
Chen Zheng spoke.
"Then... how can it be resolved completely?"
Su Cheng thought for a moment before asking.
"It looks like I'll have to use a high-end channel-clearing technique on An Jing."
Chen Zheng raised an eyebrow and helped An Jing sit up.
"A high-end channel-clearing technique... then she'll have to... strip naked..."
Su Cheng froze when she heard that.
"Come in, Su Cheng. Be a witness."
Chen Zheng scooped An Jing into his arms and said this to Su Cheng before walking toward An Jing's bedroom.
"Huh? A witness... well... I trust you... but does this sort of thing really need a witness..."
Su Cheng murmured, but still followed him into the bedroom.
A few minutes later.
"Sister An's body... is so beautiful..."
Su Cheng looked at An Jing lying facedown on the bed, at her almost entirely uncovered body. Even though she was a woman herself, her heart stirred a little at that moment. A thought struck her, and she looked at Chen Zheng. To her surprise, he was like a stone Buddha. Facing such a beautiful female body, there was not a trace of anything wicked in his eyes!
Could... could Chen Zheng have no interest in women?
Su Cheng suddenly froze. Any normal man would have at least some reaction to Sister An's perfect body, right? Yet Chen Zheng actually... actually showed not the slightest ripple!
Wait!
Chen Zheng said before that his channel-clearing technique was something he had used on a Tyrannosaurus rex in the Jurassic period. Could it be that, in his eyes, Sister An's perfect body was not much different from a Tyrannosaurus rex's?
Chen Zheng began.
His hand glided over An Jing's perfect back, moving down, farther down, all the way to the soles of her feet.
"Mmm..."
The unconscious An Jing let out a soft moan, but did not wake.
Su Cheng, meanwhile, witnessed something truly wondrous: something like smoke actually rose from An Jing's body!
This... this was a little too fantastical!
"An Jing's constitution... is somewhat wasted on Earth. Earth's spiritual energy is scarce and does little to help her constitution. If she were in that realm and took that woman as her master, forming a Nascent Soul within three years wouldn't be a problem."
Chen Zheng spoke as his right hand gently brushed over An Jing's skin.
"Nascent Soul..." Su Cheng froze again at the term, but soon came to her senses and asked, "Who is that woman?"
"Feng Fei, the Featherfolk Sovereign, ruler of the Cloud Realm. That year, I accidentally entered the Cloud Realm and happened to land in her boudoir, just as she happened to have finished bathing. Then she chased me for five hundred years, saying she wanted to marry me."
Remembering some of the past, Chen Zheng could not help smiling.
"..."
Su Cheng had nothing to say to that.
About half an hour later.
Chen Zheng withdrew his hand, and a crisp crack suddenly rang out inside An Jing's body. Beside them, Su Cheng was already staring in amazement.
As someone from the Ancient Martial Arts world, she naturally knew what the change in An Jing's body meant. This was a sign that her conception and governing vessels had been opened!
Chen Zheng had only casually cleared Sister An's channels, and her conception and governing vessels had opened. By the time Sister An woke tomorrow, she would probably already be in the Grandmaster Realm!
Should... should I ask Chen Zheng to give me a session of high-end channel clearing too?
