 Chapter 30: Qin Lan's Retaliation

After returning home, Luchuan made sure no one would disturb him before quickly starting to refine the Spirit Fusion Pill.

Late at night.

Luchuan emerged from the kitchen with a smile on his face, holding a golden pill in his hand.

"My talent for alchemy should be quite outstanding in the cultivation world. I actually managed to refine the Spirit Fusion Pill in one go," he thought to himself.

Glancing at the time, he realized it was already midnight. Subconsciously, he glanced towards Mus Nanqing's room.

"I've been focused on refining pills and didn't notice what's happening outside. I wonder if Sister-in-law has come back."

After a moment of hesitation, he approached Mus Nanqing's room and gently pushed the door open.

He saw Mus Nanqing, dressed in a nightgown, sleeping soundly in bed, with the blanket kicked to the floor. Luchuan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sister-in-law is really not honest when she sleeps, kicking off the blanket like that. She might catch a cold tomorrow."

Quietly, he picked up the fallen blanket.

Mus Nanqing lay sprawled out, her silk nightgown smooth and one strap slipping off, revealing her delicate figure. Luchuan glanced at her, feeling his throat dry and his heart racing.

Quickly, he covered Mus Nanqing with the blanket to prevent himself from having any impure thoughts.

As he turned to leave, Mus Nanqing's voice sounded, "Xiaochuan, don't go, I want..."

Luchuan's body stiffened.

"Sister-in-law, I just came to cover you with the blanket. Don't misunderstand," he said hastily.

He hadn't expected Mus Nanqing to still be awake, let alone speak so explicitly. Could it be... she had feelings for him?

"...to haggle the price again, I'll definitely buy you this dress." Mus Nanqing continued.

Luchuan froze, turning to look at her, only to find Mus Nanqing still sound asleep. It seemed like she was talking in her sleep just now.

He felt embarrassed and thought to himself, "I'm really a beast, actually thinking Sister-in-law had feelings for me. I should be ashamed of myself."

With a deep sense of self-condemnation, Luchuan turned and left the room.

He closed the door gently, feeling relieved.

"Sister-in-law must have dreamt about the first time she took me shopping many years ago."

Back then, both he and his older brother were very poor. Mus Nanqing promised to buy him a new outfit, but they didn't have enough money, so he wanted to leave to avoid embarrassing Mus Nanqing.

But Mus Nanqing insisted on buying it, asking him not to leave.

Luchuan remembered that bargaining wasn't allowed in the mall, but that day Mus Nanqing managed to buy the dress for him at a relatively cheap price using some method.

It was then that he felt he had the best sister-in-law in the world, and he was deeply moved for a long time.

"Sister-in-law's dreams are all about being kind to me, and all I can think of are filthy things. I'm really despicable."

Feeling deeply ashamed of himself, Luchuan returned to his room.

The next morning.

During breakfast, Luchuan suddenly said, "Sister-in-law, I'm determined to make you live a better life!"

Mus Nanqing smiled and glanced at him, "Silly boy, what are you thinking? Why are you suddenly saying such things?"

Luchuan looked determined, "I didn't think about anything, I just want to make sure you live better."

Mus Nanqing smiled and said, "Alright, I understand your intentions. Now eat your breakfast."

Luchuan nodded and ate the breakfast cooked by Mus Nanqing with relish.

After breakfast, Luchuan left the house, planning to find a place with abundant spiritual energy to attempt a breakthrough with the Spirit Fusion Pill.

He wanted to ensure that Sister-in-law could live a happy life, but the prerequisite was that he had to have enough strength himself, otherwise, it would all be just wishful thinking.

He scanned for a location with rich spiritual energy and headed towards the east of the city.

Meanwhile.

In the Supervision Bureau, Yu Xin's office.

Yu Xin stood in front of a whiteboard with a grim expression, staring at a photo of Luchuan.

After a while, she picked up several more photos and pinned them up, creating a network of relationships. Qin Lan, Liu Kun, Mus Nanqing, and some of Luchuan's friends were labeled on it.

"You bastard, although I have no evidence, I don't believe you could pull this off flawlessly. As long as I start investigating the people around you, I'll find the key evidence. By then, I'll personally lock you up!"

She carefully reviewed Luchuan's information, finally focusing on Luchuan's ex-girlfriend, Qin Lan.

"Let's start the investigation with this person."

She found Qin Lan's phone number and dialed it.

...

At Qin Lan's home.

Qin Lan wore only an apron, kneeling in front of Liu Kun, massaging his legs.

Liu Kun, looking disheveled and holding a bottle of beer, was visibly drunk, much messier than before.

He took a sip of beer, then slapped Qin Lan's face and scolded, "Damn it, didn't you eat? Use more force!"

Qin Lan quickly increased the pressure, not daring to show any dissatisfaction, even saying with a sly smile, "Darling, hitting me makes me so excited. I'll serve you again later."

Liu Kun snorted coldly, "Depends on my mood."

Qin Lan nodded quickly, trying her best to show an eager expression.

Since the Qin family was shut down by Chu Mengyao, Qin Lan became the scapegoat of the Qin family and was cut off from all sources of income.

Without the ability to earn money, she had to find ways to please Liu Kun in order to have a reliance.

Liu Kun's father was criticized severely by the boss of Yunhai Hotel and demoted to vice manager because Liu Kun offended Chu Mengyao. In a fit of anger, he beat Liu Kun severely and restricted his pocket money.

Feeling aggrieved, Liu Kun thought it was all Qin Lan's fault and believed that such a woman would only bring trouble to him. He wanted to kick her out.

But Qin Lan, being persistent, kept clinging to him, promising to make up for her mistakes and begging him for a chance.

Liu Kun was at a loss as to how to vent his anger, so he agreed to Qin Lan's request, but the condition was that Qin Lan had to fulfill any of his demands.

With no other choice, Qin Lan agreed.

Seeing Qin Lan's genuine agreement, the evil in Liu Kun's heart was infinitely magnified, and during this time, he tried various ways to humiliate Qin Lan, never getting tired of playing with her.

Qin Lan could only endure silently, becoming an obedient and submissive woman, allowing Liu Kun to toy with her.

Just as Qin Lan was massaging Liu Kun's legs, her phone rang.

She picked it up and answered.

After a while, Liu Kun became impatient and said, "Who's calling you? You're chatting so eagerly!"

Qin Lan hung up the phone, looking at Liu Kun in a daze, and said, "Darling, the caller claimed to be from the Supervision Bureau. She's investigating Lin Hu's case and said that Luchuan is a suspect in Lin Hu's murder, so she wants to investigate Luchuan through us."

Liu Kun sneered, "Stop kidding me. That wimp Luchuan couldn't possibly have killed someone like Lin Hu. This person from the Supervision Bureau is really stupid. Instead of investigating anyone else, she's investigating a useless person. It would be strange if she could find the murderer."

Qin Lan said, "Darling, although Luchuan is indeed incapable of killing Lin Hu, but... what if we're willing to testify, insisting that Lin Hu was killed by Luchuan? Wouldn't that send that damn guy to jail?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Kun was first stunned, then his whole person became spirited.

He slapped his thigh excitedly and exclaimed, "Brilliant! That bastard Luchuan has caused us so much misery. This is a perfect opportunity for us to retaliate against him!"

Qin Lan also became excited, "Darling, I'm actually quite clever, aren't I? Would you like to reward me?"

Liu Kun smirked, "You did well this time. I'll reward you with a session of whipping. Go fetch the whip."

Qin Lan's expression froze for a moment, then she coquettishly said, "Darling, the person from the Supervision Bureau will come to question us in a while. How about... we wait until tonight?"

Liu Kun smirked, "Fine, let's wait until tonight. I'm in a good mood today, so we'll have some exciting fun later."

...

Luchuan made his way to the east of the city and entered a picturesque water park.

"The spiritual energy here is several times richer than elsewhere. If I take the Spirit Fusion Pill here and accelerate the absorption of spiritual energy, the possibility of breaking through will greatly increase."

He arrived at a small grove and planned to cultivate there.

At this moment, he saw a middle-aged man in practice clothes practicing martial arts in an open space in the grove.

The middle-aged man exuded a powerful aura, and every punch he threw carried a terrifying force, causing the fallen leaves on the ground to dance along.

Luchuan was immediately impressed by the man's imposing presence upon seeing him for the first time.

He quickly judged that this middle-aged man's strength was unfathomable, and he might not even be able to take a single punch from him.

"This person's strength is probably already beyond the Ninth Stage of Inner Energy. I didn't expect to encounter such a master here."

"Just to be safe, I'll find another place. It would be troublesome if this person thinks I'm disturbing him and decides to beat me up."

Luchuan turned to leave.

At this moment, the middle-aged man suddenly stopped and then squatted down, holding his chest in pain.

Sensing something wrong, Luchuan hesitated for a moment before deciding to approach.

"Elder, are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?" Luchuan asked.

The middle-aged man's forehead was covered in cold sweat. He looked up at Luchuan and said, "I'm having a heart attack, young man. Please help me call an ambulance, quickly!"

Luchuan immediately squatted down, took his wrist, and found that his heart was indeed in serious trouble, far more complicated than just a heart attack.

If not treated promptly, the middle-aged man might die on the spot, and calling an ambulance would be of no use.

Without hesitation, he took out his acupuncture kit from his clothes and said, "Elder, I know some medical skills. Your condition is very serious. It's too late to call an ambulance. Lie down first, and I'll treat you."

The middle-aged man clearly didn't trust Luchuan and said, "No need, you..."

Luchuan frowned and rebuked, "Stop talking nonsense! If we delay any longer, you'll die. Lie down now, and let me treat you!"
