Put away your magical powers now!.

Chapter 160 [Is it really that outrageous?] (6400)

Chapter 155 [Is it really that heinous?] (6400)

Lin Xianyu's expression changed!
Her hands were already clenched into fists, and she quietly took a step back, with demonic energy flowing through her body.

Chen Yan simply glanced at her and shook his head, saying, "Don't be too nervous. As I just said, you haven't committed any murders, so I won't be ruthless towards you."

"Fellow Daoist... who exactly are you..." Lin Xianyu dared not relax and looked at Chen Yan warily.

“This isn’t the place to talk.” Chen Yan waved his hand. “I’ve been out for quite a while now. If I don’t go back soon, the people inside will get suspicious.”

After a pause, Chen Yan took out his phone: "Add me on WeChat, I'll contact you later."

Lin Xianyu suddenly had a thought and immediately realized: "You... no, you, you're from the Patrol Division?"

"Ah."

Lin Xianyu's wariness vanished instantly. She quickly took out her phone, but approached Chen Yan with a charming and ingratiating expression. While scanning Chen Yan's WeChat QR code, she said in a coquettish tone, "Fellow Daoist, I have never dared to do anything wrong, let alone done anything bad! Why did the Patrol Division come looking for me?"

Could there be some misunderstanding here?

Chen Yan waved his hand, not saying anything more to her: "I'll contact you later."

After saying that, Chen Yan turned and left, returning to the restaurant.

Lin Xianyu, on the other hand, stood in the courtyard watching Chen Yan's back. Her expression was calm but still steady. Only after Chen Yan had walked back into the restaurant did Lin Xianyu suddenly turn around and walk quickly to the bathroom. She rushed in, locked the door, and leaned against the door.

Suddenly, Lin Xianyu collapsed onto the floor, sliding down the door panel. Her whole body began to tremble uncontrollably as she covered her face with her hands.

Beneath the gaps between his fingers, the previously calm and composed expression on his face suddenly transformed into fear and panic.

"Waaaaah~~ You scared the mouse! You scared me! Waaaaah~~ This person has such a strong murderous aura~~"
Waaaaaah~~~ So scary, so scary~~ Waaaaaah~~
I don't want to be a mouse, I don't want to be a mouse~~ Waaaaaah~~~

·
After the dinner, Chairman He saw Chen Yan out, but offered to take Chen Yan back to his hotel.

Chen Yan understood that Chairman He had something to discuss with him, so he simply let Lu Sisi ride in the business car, while he got into Chairman He's car alone.

This Mr. He clearly had something to say, because he actually dismissed his driver and assistant and drove Chen Yan himself.

This move shocked everyone!

Lin Xianyu's agent stared at Chen Yan for a long time—just who is this Mr. Chen to be able to get a tycoon like Boss He to drive for him personally?
Assistant Liu was filled with fear. She immediately reviewed all her behavior throughout the day since receiving Chen Yan's message. Only after confirming that she had not done anything inappropriate did she breathe a sigh of relief.

"Mr. He, your actions will likely make me the center of everyone's attention."

Sitting in the passenger seat, Chen Yan gave a wry smile.

"Huh?" Boss He was taken aback, then realized what he meant and laughed, "It's alright, there's no need to care about what those people think."

He was only thinking about his own affairs and hadn't realized how surprising it would be for someone as wealthy as himself to personally drive and have a private talk with Chen Yan.

"Speak, Mr. He, what's the matter?" Chen Yan leaned back in his chair and said slowly, "Have you encountered any trouble lately?"

"Not really," Mr. He said slowly. "Ever since you helped me resolve my mother's matter, everything has gone smoothly for me, and my family is all healthy and well."

Chen Yan nodded: "Then... it's still about your mother?"

"Ah."

Mr. He's tone carried a hint of pleading: "I'd like to ask Ms. Chen, when will my mother be able to come home and reunite with me?"

Ok?
Chen Yan looked at Boss He with some confusion.

"On Lunar New Year's Eve, I was restless at home. In previous years, I would cancel all my other commitments to go back to my hometown to spend the New Year with my mother. I could only feel at ease if I saw her."

This Lunar New Year's Eve, my mother wasn't by my side, and I felt really sad..."

Mr. He's words were sincere, and Chen Yan couldn't help but feel a little moved.

Although I don't know Mr. He very well, at least he is very filial and affectionate towards his vixen mother!

"Actually, you don't need to be so upset. Now you know that your mother didn't die; she's just living in seclusion in the mountains of her hometown..."

"Yes, I must thank Teacher Chen for this." Boss He said solemnly, "After that incident, my mother appeared to me in a dream, saying that thanks to your help, she was able to defeat the powerful enemy and save her life! Otherwise, I'm afraid..."

“There’s no need to talk about it now that it’s over.” Chen Yan shook his head and said, “Since your mother didn’t die and is just living in seclusion in the mountains to cultivate, I won’t hide it from you. She was also injured in that incident. Although her life was not in danger, she still lost a lot of her cultivation and needs some time to recover.”

“My mother told me about this in a dream. She also said that I had suffered some internal injuries and needed time to recuperate and cultivate myself. Otherwise, it would endanger my health and affect my lifespan.”

Mr. He slowed down and said in a low voice, "Teacher Chen, I don't know anything about cultivation. I've only heard my mother mention it. She said her primordial spirit was damaged, and it seems that cultivation isn't very convenient in our world. It would take at least a few years to recover..."

Chen Yan remained silent.

Mr. He said in a low voice, "I am already over fifty years old. I am an ordinary person and have no talent for cultivation. As a mortal, my lifespan is only about twenty or thirty years left. Maybe a little longer, but it is still limited."

If my mother were to retreat into seclusion to cultivate and recuperate, it would take several more years. I'm already so old, so wouldn't the time I spend with my mother be even shorter?

I was thinking, "Teacher Chen, you're a highly accomplished cultivator, do you have any way... any faster and better methods to help my mother recover as soon as possible and emerge from her secluded mountain retreat?"

Taking a deep breath, Boss He slowly said, "If medicine is needed, even the most precious herbs, and... well, I've read some myths and novels, about rare and precious treasures..."

If I need these things, please give me a clear path. As long as it's something I can buy with money, or something I can find a way to get, no matter how expensive or how much money it costs, as long as I, He, can afford it, I won't even blink!

As he spoke, the filial son's voice choked with emotion: "From childhood to adulthood, I have never been separated from my mother during the Spring Festival!"
On New Year's Eve, it's essential to stay with your mother for the New Year to truly feel like it's here!

I had assumed my mother was deceased, so I let it go.

But now that I know my mother is still in this world, yet we can't be reunited, my heart is filled with…

Chen Yan's heart stirred.

He could actually understand Mr. He's feelings.

When I went back to my hometown for the Spring Festival, on New Year's Eve, although I was accompanied by Gu Qingyi and Lu Sisi, I couldn't find the familiar old lady in the old house...

How could I not feel sad and regretful?

In fact, Chen Yan felt the same way.

If he could have a choice, to give up all his wealth and even his cultivation, to return to being an ordinary mortal, a graduate with a meager income, but to be able to reunite with the old lady and live together as before...

He would absolutely nod without hesitation! Not even for a second!

Chen Yan remained silent, but Boss He felt a glimmer of hope.

If that doesn't work, this teacher Chen will definitely say so on the spot.

He didn't speak, seemingly deep in thought, so maybe... there's a chance?
Chen Yan pondered Su Yi's situation.

The old fox was seriously injured in that battle, but the external injuries weren't too troublesome.

After all, Su Yi had already taken the White Bone Pill. The White Bone Pill had miraculous effects; even the most severe external injuries could be healed under its influence.

The real problem with the Su Yi is internal injury...

This "inside" is not internal organs, but the primordial spirit!

The old fox's primordial spirit was injured, which is why he had to go into seclusion to cultivate diligently.

However, the world is sparse in terms of primordial energy, making it even more difficult to cultivate the primordial spirit. Although the old fox has his own primordial spirit cultivation method, his progress is very slow.

"Let me think about it," Chen Yan replied, not giving a definitive answer.

Mr. He's face lit up with joy. Overwhelmed with excitement, he stepped on the gas, and the car screeched to a halt on the side of the road.

He turned around to look at Chen Yan, his expression excited, as if he wanted to reach out and grab Chen Yan's arms: "Teacher Chen... no! Master Chen! Immortal Chen! Chen..."

"Don't!"

Chen Yan quickly waved his hand helplessly: "I didn't say it would definitely work, I just wanted to think of a way to help you. Don't get too excited now, and don't rush to thank me. I'm not entirely sure if it will work myself."

"No! As long as Mr. Chen is willing to help, I will be grateful regardless of whether it succeeds or not!!" Boss He said it very well.

Chen Yan sighed and pointed ahead on the road: "Let's keep going."

"good good good good!"

Mr. He was greatly encouraged and started the car again, driving forward.

·
The car drove all the way to the hotel where Chen Yan was staying, and the van that Assistant Liu brought followed behind.

When the car stopped at the hotel lobby entrance, Chen Yan had just opened the door and gotten out when Lu Sisi jumped out of the van behind him and quickly walked to Chen Yan's side. She didn't say anything, but just stood quietly and obediently beside Chen Yan.

Mr. He got out of the car, shook hands with Chen Yan to say goodbye, and then his driver came over and got into the driver's seat. Only then did Mr. He reluctantly get into the car and leave.

Chen Yan took Lu Sisi's hand and led her into the hotel, upstairs to their room.

Back in the hotel room, Lu Sisi went inside to take a shower, while Chen Yan sat in the living room, took out his phone, thought for a moment, and then dialed a number, calling Ouyang.

One minute later...

"...A method to repair the primordial spirit?" Ouyang's tone on the other end of the phone was very relaxed: "The primordial energy in this world is thin, and the progress of cultivating the primordial spirit is slow. If the primordial spirit is injured, the repair time will probably be more than ten times slower than in the domain."

"That's why I had to ask you, team leader," Chen Yan sighed.

"Hmm... You remember the three pills you received as a quarterly reward for your position in our Inspection Division, right?" Ouyang then smiled and said, "The Spirit Refining Pill is an excellent medicine for strengthening the primordial spirit. Although it's nothing special in the realm, it's a rare elixir in this world! It's also extremely beneficial for cultivators whose primordial spirit is injured."

Chen Yan's eyes lit up, but he immediately smiled wryly and said, "I just started working here, I'll have to wait three months to get the pills..."

"What's this! I'm here for you! Brother, how could I stand by and do nothing when you're in trouble?"
It's just a Refining Spirit Pill. I have plenty of those here. I'll get you one later, and you can pay me back after you get your salary.

Chen Yan laughed heartily: "Then thank you very much, team leader!"

"Okay, give me an address, and I'll send the pills to you." "Huh? By express delivery or express courier?"

Chen Yan was taken aback. Could such cultivation pills really be delivered by courier? What if they got lost?
"Don't worry, I'm not that stupid." Ouyang laughed and said, "Although this thing isn't very valuable, it can't just fall into the hands of ordinary people. Whether it's the Bone Forging Pill or the Spirit Refining Pill, it can only be taken by cultivators. If ordinary people without the cultivation of vital energy take it, their bodies won't be able to withstand the power of the pill. If they take it, they will be seriously injured at best, and die from the explosion at worst."

I wouldn't dare use any express delivery service to send it to you.

"Oh, just give me your address, and I guarantee I'll deliver it to you."

Chen Yan suddenly had an idea: "I don't want to bother two people with one thing. I have another matter to ask the team leader for help as well. When you deliver the pills to me, please also give me a Bone Forging Pill. I will return it to you when I receive my payment next quarter."

"It's nothing, it's nothing." Ouyang patted his chest and laughed.

After Chen Yan sent over his hotel address, Ouyang asked in confusion, "Why did you go to Lin'an Prefecture?"

Before Chen Yan could answer, Ouyang immediately realized: "Oh, I see. You went to see that little vixen Lin Xianyu? I saw the news. That little vixen Lin Xianyu went to Lin'an Prefecture."

Before Chen Yan could speak, Ouyang's tone became even more enthusiastic: "Good! Very good! Brother! Your enthusiasm for doing things is excellent! Keep up the good work, achieve results, and as your older brother, I certainly won't let you down!"

After hanging up the phone, Ouyang was still beaming with joy.

That's great!
The inspection department was rife with a culture of slacking off and complacency, which greatly displeased Ouyang, who was very ambitious.

How can you make money if you don't work hard? How can you get promoted if you don't work hard?

My new subordinate is great; he's very hardworking. I've only had the list for a few days, and he's already gone off to find targets and do missions!
Ouyang took out a gourd and pulled out a Bone Forging Pill and a Spirit Refining Pill. After thinking for a moment, he pulled out a White Bone Healing Pill and put them into three small porcelain bottles. He wrote the names of the pills and their uses on the bottles.

·
After finishing his phone call, Chen Yan heard the rushing water coming from the bathroom. After thinking for a moment, he simply took off his clothes, pushed open the door, and slipped inside.

Steam rose from the bathroom, followed by Lu Sisi's startled exclamation, then Chen Yan's giggling laughter, and Lu Sisi's coquettish voice...

·
An hour later, Chen Yan carried Lu Sisi back to the room, put her on the bed, pulled a blanket over her, gently kissed Lu Sisi's blushing face, and whispered, "I'm going out for a bit. You rest well in the room. I'll be back later."

Lu Sisi was gentle and didn't ask any questions. She just nodded and added, "You... be careful."

Chen Yan smiled as he finished dressing, then turned and went out.

After leaving the room, Chen Yan took the elevator down three floors to the guest room corridor on this floor. He walked to the end, checked the room number in front of him, and then rang the doorbell.

Soon, the door was opened, revealing a bewitching face.

Lin Xianyu's expression was calm and composed. After glancing at Chen Yan, she slowly stepped back and opened the door: "Fellow Daoist has arrived. Please come in."

Lin Xianyu was also staying at this hotel. After adding each other on WeChat, she sent the address to Chen Yan, which didn't surprise Chen Yan.

She is the brand ambassador for Mr. He's company and participated in a variety show sponsored by Mr. He's company. Since this hotel is also a business partner hotel of Mr. He's company, she was naturally arranged to stay here.

However, the room was a level lower than the one Chen Yan stayed in.

·
Chen Yan entered the room, where Lin Xianyu was clearly already waiting for him. There was no one in the room, not even her assistant or agent.

To Chen Yan's slight surprise, there was a large amount of food on the coffee table in the living room, including more than a dozen McDonald's hamburgers, as well as fries and cola.

"You..." Chen Yan was somewhat surprised and looked at Lin Xianyu with a strange gaze: "Didn't you eat enough for dinner?"

"..." Lin Xianyu blushed, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes, but she still maintained her composure: "I like to eat when I'm nervous."

Although Chen Yan's words were strange, it was just his habit, and there was no need to ask too many questions.

He hesitated for a moment, about to say something, but his eyes swept over Lin Xianyu and he suddenly froze.

Lin Xianyu, that vixen, was wearing the same clothes she wore to dinner tonight, clearly having been waiting for him since returning to the hotel without changing.

She was dressed very lightly, with a short skirt revealing a pair of long, white legs, the kind that are "white, long, and straight".

She's a former singing and dancing idol, so naturally she has a great figure. Those long legs look especially alluring under the lights.

However, Chen Yan wasn't staring at other people's legs because he had a lewd mentality—to put it another way, Chen Yan is currently in a state of leisure.

The reason he was curiously looking at Lin Xianyu's legs was...

The female demon appeared calm and composed, seemingly unperturbed even when facing me.

But the legs under the skirt were swaying!

It was trembling and shaking.

This is...

So… Chen Yan looked at Lin Xianyu’s expression with curiosity.

Outwardly strong, but inwardly terrified?

Lin Xianyu took a deep breath, pointed to the sofa, and said coldly, "Fellow Daoist, please sit down!"

My legs are wobbling.

After Chen Yan sat down, Lin Xianyu slowly sat down beside him: "Now, please state your purpose, fellow Daoist!"

His legs were still wobbling.

Chen Yan felt a surge of joy in his heart, but his face turned solemn. He narrowed his eyes, staring at Lin Xianyu, deliberately remaining silent, his gaze growing increasingly cold. Lin Xianyu's legs trembled more and more noticeably.

Even the cool and composed expression on her face seemed to be breaking down; she was just trying her best to keep a cold face.

Finally, Chen Yan said coldly, "You are a demon! You come from a different realm and have considerable cultivation. You fled to this realm and have confused the world's affairs. Do you know that you have committed a crime?"

Lin Xianyu gave a soft snort: "Even if you have seen through my background, I have not committed any sins, and you have no right to interfere..."

Snapped!
Chen Yan gently slapped the jade pendant from the patrol office onto the table.

When her gaze fell on the jade pendant, Lin Xianyu suddenly trembled, and she could no longer maintain the cold expression on her face.

Suddenly, he shuddered and slid off the sofa, landing hard on his bottom on the floor.

"You, you, you... da da da... you are a patrol... da da... patrolman... da da..."

Lin Xianyu was so frightened that her face turned pale, and her teeth were chattering as she spoke.

Chen Yan looked at Lin Xianyu and deliberately spoke slowly, "By order of the Inspector, I am here to patrol this realm, eliminate evil spirits, and cleanse sins!"

"..."

Lin Xianyu sat on the ground staring wide-eyed at Chen Yan. A second later, she suddenly hugged her head with both hands, lay on the ground, and burst into tears.

"Waaaaaah!!!! Don't kill me!!! I didn't do anything wrong!! Immortal, spare me! Spare me!! I don't want to be a rat!! Don't kill me... Waaaaaah..."

This sudden reaction startled Chen Yan!
Just a moment ago she was so calm and composed, how did she suddenly become so abruptly changed? Was there no transition at all?

After a couple of seconds of stunned silence, Chen Yan's expression grew increasingly strange: "...No, you...are you this scared?"

Lin Xianyu curled up into a ball, trembling violently.

"Waaaaahhhhhh~~ You patrol officers kill demons without blinking an eye!! Waaaaahhhhhh~~"
I've heard that if the Patrol Division targets someone, they'll have their hideout destroyed and their entire clan exterminated!

Waaaaah... You are so ruthless! Wherever you go, you leave no one alive, even chickens and dogs. You dig three feet into the ground, and you even dig out the earthworms and cut them up vertically!
Waaaaaahh ...

Chen Yan's face froze.

no……

Is the reputation of the Inspection Division really that terrible?
Chen Yan took a deep breath: "Where did you hear all this from?"

Lin Xianyu lay on the ground, her face covered in snot and tears, yet she cried out loudly:

"Several demons I know died this way."

A rabbit demon I've known since childhood, a girl from the Lin family, grew up with me in the mountains. After being captured by the patrol department, all 480 rabbit demons in her family were taken away, their fur was stripped off, and the entire clan was wiped out!

There was also a turtle demon I knew, Brother Shanshi, who was only a hundred years old. He was so young that he hadn't even had a chance to get married before he was captured by the patrol officers. They even ripped off his turtle shell, smashed it, and before he was even finished, they boiled him alive in a soup pot!

There was also a carp spirit from Taihu Lake. I'd been to Taihu Lake before, and it had been so hospitable to me—what a wonderful spirit! But the Patrol Bureau came knocking, destroyed its underwater cave, and the immortals of the Patrol Bureau threw it onto a chopping board and had its scales scraped off while it was still alive… I heard they even dug out its swim bladders and stomped on them to make a sound!

Damn it?

Is it really that outrageous?

Chen Yan was dumbfounded.

"No way! Are there really such heartless and insane cultivators in the Patrol Division?"

"Yes! Yes, yes, yes! I've heard there's a guy named Ouyang who's the most terrifying. All the things I've mentioned were done by that guy!"

Ouyang?
Holy crap, is Ouyang really this twisted? I never would have guessed!
Hundreds of rabbit spirits were skinned alive?

Should we smash a turtle's shell and throw it into a pot to make soup?
The carp spirit skillfully scrapes off the fish scales and even digs out the fish bubbles to stomp on and play with.

While Chen Yan was still in surprise, he suddenly smelled a strange odor.

He looked down at Lin Xianyu, then his face stiffened and the muscles around his eyes twitched.

The demon, trembling with fear, had left a pool of suspicious liquid seeping onto the ground...

No!

You're scared to death?!

"Waaaaah!!! I don't want to be a rat, I don't want to be a rat!!! Immortal, please don't kill me! Don't skin me, don't cook my flesh! Please don't kill me!!"

Lin Xianyu burst into tears.
