Lu Chuan quickly turned his body away, facing away from Mu Nanqing.
Soon he heard the sound of clothes being removed, and involuntary images began to form in his mind, causing his breathing to become heavy.
After a while, Mu Nanqing's voice sounded, "Alright, come help me with the treatment, it hurts so much."
Only then did Lu Chuan turn around and found Mu Nanqing lying on the bed. She had removed the top half of her clothes and covered herself with a blanket, obscuring her private parts. However, because she needed to expose the bruise, Lu Chuan could still vaguely see a patch of fair skin, which was even more alluring.
He swallowed hard, walked to the bedside, and mentally reminded himself not to act improperly. Then, he extended his hand and placed it on the bruised area of Mu Nanqing, starting to release his spiritual power.
Because the bruised area was large, Lu Chuan needed to constantly adjust his hand's position. There were several times when he accidentally touched something soft, causing Mu Nanqing's tense body to stiffen.
Mu Nanqing's face was also flushed, but to not affect Lu Chuan's treatment, she didn't show any abnormal reactions.
After about fifteen minutes, the bruise on Mu Nanqing's body was completely eliminated, and Lu Chuan breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly turned away and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm done. Please put your clothes back on."
Mu Nanqing got up and, after putting on her clothes, the blush on her face gradually faded, and she said somewhat shyly, "Xiao Chuan, thank you."
Lu Chuan smiled, "Sister-in-law, you're too polite."
Mu Nanqing glanced out the window and saw that it was already dark. She said, "Stay here and have dinner before you leave. I'll go prepare it."
Lu Chuan nodded. It had been a while since he had tasted his sister-in-law's cooking.
Just then, there was a loud knock on the door.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Mu Nanqing, you owe me three months' rent. How long are you going to drag this out?"
Mu Nanqing's face changed, and she hurried over to open the door.
Standing outside was a middle-aged man with a big belly, wearing slippers, and a somewhat bald head, looking very sloppy.
This man was Mu Nanqing's landlord.
Mu Nanqing said apologetically, "Brother Wang, I'm trying to raise the money. Please give me a few more days, and I promise I'll pay the rent I owe."
She worked at a nearby bar, but the bar's finances had been tight recently, and she hadn't received her salary for three months. This made her life extremely difficult, so she didn't want Lu Chuan to buy medicinal ingredients.
The landlord sneered, "I've already given you plenty of time. Today, you must pay the rent!"
His gaze kept wandering over Mu Nanqing's tempting figure, and his expression suddenly became lecherous. "But I'm not heartless. How about this? You spend the night with me, make me comfortable, and you won't have to pay the rent for these three months. And if you're willing to be my lover, you can stay in this house for as long as you want. How about it?"
Mu Nanqing frowned and said angrily, "Brother Wang, stop joking. I'm not that kind of person."
At this moment, Lu Chuan walked over, stared at the landlord, and asked Mu Nanqing, "Sister-in-law, you don't have money to pay the rent?"
Mu Nanqing felt embarrassed but still nodded.
The landlord then said in an exaggerated tone, "Oh, isn't this your nephew? No wonder I heard some noise inside earlier. So you and your nephew are messing around, huh?"
"Think about it. Your husband has been dead for years, and you must have certain needs. But since you've been fooling around with your nephew for so long, there's probably nothing wrong with being with me, right?"
Mu Nanqing's eyes widened, feeling insulted. She shouted, "You're talking nonsense! How could Xiao Chuan and I possibly mess around?"
The landlord sneered, "Stop pretending. With your seductive figure, who could resist? You two have been in the room for so long, no one would believe you didn't do anything!"
Mu Nanqing was so angry that her chest heaved up and down.
Lu Chuan raised his hand and slapped the landlord, knocking him to the ground. "If you dare to slander my sister-in-law again, I'll make sure you spend the rest of your life in a wheelchair!"
The landlord covered his face in shock, looking at Mu Nanqing's little nephew. He didn't expect the other party to be so fierce. He gritted his teeth and said, "Your sister-in-law owes me rent and you even dare to hit me. Is there no justice left in the world?"
Lu Chuan said coldly, "My sister-in-law owes you how much rent, I'll pay for her!"
"Three months' rent adds up to a total of four thousand five hundred. You give it to me!" the landlord shouted.
Lu Chuan immediately handed over five thousand to him. "Take the extra five hundred and go get your brain checked at the hospital to see how dirty it is!"
Then he looked at Mu Nanqing. "Sister-in-law, pack your things. We're not staying here anymore."
Mu Nanqing looked puzzled. "Where... where are we going if we're not staying here?"
Lu Chuan smiled and said, "We're going to my place. I'll take you to live in a bigger house."
In a daze, Mu Nanqing packed up her valuables and personal belongings. Then, under Lu Chuan's guidance, she left.
Lu Chuan found a special car, loaded Mu Nanqing's things, and headed towards the Jinhu community.
On the way, he received a call from Qin Lan.
"Lu Chuan, you've really got some nerve. You dare to hit my beloved! Let me tell you, we've spent a lot of money to hire a master of internal energy to deal with you. I told him to break your legs and make you childless. Just wait for the big gift I'm going to send you!"
After speaking, she hung up the phone.
Lu Chuan frowned.
He had heard of the existence of experts in internal energy before. It was rumored that these kinds of experts were different from those flashy ones on TV. They were true inheritors of ancient martial arts, capable of cultivating extremely powerful bursts of internal energy within their bodies. Moreover, they mastered genuine killing techniques, which were not to be underestimated.
"Qin Lan is really ruthless to me, actually hiring an expert in internal energy to deal with me," Lu Chuan smiled helplessly.
Mu Nanqing asked, "Xiao Chuan, what's wrong?"
Lu Chuan shook his head, "Nothing, Qin Lan and Liu Kun want to retaliate against me, that's all."
Mu Nanqing suddenly became worried, "What should we do then?"
Lu Chuan smiled and said, "It's okay, they can't do anything special."
Although internal energy experts were indeed formidable, Lu Chuan was an even more mysterious and powerful cultivator. Naturally, there was no need to worry.
Before long, the two arrived at the Jinhu community.
Mu Nanqing looked surprised at the upscale community's environment.
Entering Lu Chuan's large house, seeing the spacious space and luxurious decoration, Mu Nanqing was even more incredulous.
She quickly looked at Lu Chuan and asked, "Xiao Chuan, if you were kicked out by Qin Lan and didn't take anything with you, and you even said you wouldn't deliver takeout anymore on the way here, how did you end up living in such a good house? Did you do something illegal?"
Lu Chuan smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you're underestimating me. This house was given to me by someone I treated."
Mu Nanqing was shocked, thinking of Lu Chuan's miraculous medical skills. Her doubts disappeared instantly. She said full of emotion, "Just treating someone and getting such a big house, that person must be exceptionally wealthy."
Lu Chuan smiled without saying a word.
He walked to a bedroom door and said, "Sister-in-law, you can live in this room from now on. Let me tidy it up for you."
Mu Nanqing was a bit conflicted. After all, the relationship between her and Lu Chuan was special. If they lived together, it might attract gossip.
However, after considering for a long time, she finally made a decision and said to Lu Chuan, "Then... then I won't stand on ceremony with you."
The two of them cleaned up the room, and Mu Nanqing went to cook.
After dinner, Mu Nanqing said with emotion, "I never dreamed I would have the opportunity to live in such a big house in my life."
Lu Chuan smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, this is just the beginning. Our lives will only get better in the future. And I promise, from now on, no one will dare to bully you."
He knew that with Mu Nanqing's looks, as long as she opened her legs, she could live a luxurious life. But she had never done that. Even though Mu Nanqing lived a difficult life, she always thought of Lu Chuan. This deeply touched Lu Chuan. Now that he had the ability, he naturally had to find a way to let his only relative live a good life.
Mu Nanqing smiled at Lu Chuan's words, "With your words, sister-in-law is content. But when you earn money, you should keep it for yourself. Sister-in-law still hopes you'll find a wife."
Lu Chuan laughed and said, "Finding a wife is not urgent. Sister-in-law, let me take you for a stroll around the community, get familiar with it, and maybe have a little snack."
Mu Nanqing nodded and followed Lu Chuan downstairs.
The environment in the community was very good, and because it was night, it had a serene feeling.
The two of them walked to a small forest together. Lu Chuan was thinking about the beautiful future, while Mu Nanqing followed behind him, her beautiful eyes fixed on his back, lost in thought.
Suddenly, a dark figure flashed in front of them.
Mu Nanqing was startled and quickly hid behind Lu Chuan, sticking close to him. "What was that just now?"
Lu Chuan became alert, but feeling the soft touch behind him, he felt a bit embarrassed. Pretending to be nonchalant, he took a step forward, "Sister-in-law's figure is really top-notch."
He looked at the forest ahead and shouted, "Who's lurking around? Show yourself if you have the guts!"
A strong wind blew, and Lu Chuan saw a middle-aged man with a mustache appear, rushing towards him and aiming a palm strike at his chest.
He immediately activated his spiritual power and struck back at the man's palm.
The two palms collided, and the middle-aged man exclaimed in surprise, quickly retreating.
Lu Chuan's expression became serious. He had felt the strange power contained in the middle-aged man's palm just now. Although it was not as strong as his spiritual power, it was powerful and should not be underestimated.
This man should be the internal energy expert hired by Qin Lan.
After stabilizing himself, the middle-aged man glanced at Lu Chuan a few times, then looked at Mu Nanqing, his eyes suddenly lighting up. He licked his lips with a wicked smile, "Kid, you can withstand my palm, not bad. Although I'm paid to do business, everything is negotiable. If you let me play with the woman next to you, I'll let you go. How about it?"
