Under One Person: Feng Shui Master, I Will Protect the Mountains and Rivers with My Own Body

After hanging up the phone, Dou Le didn't keep the two of them waiting for long.

About ten minutes later, the sound of a car engine could be heard outside the factory.

Several vehicles painted with the logo of Nadutong Express Company came to a stop in the wasteland.

The car door opened, and seven or eight young men in overalls filed out.

The leader was a young man with a buzz cut and black-rimmed glasses. He was a man of few words but efficient in his work, and it was clear that he often did fieldwork.

The crew-cut young man walked up to Yan Sen and politely offered him a cigarette.

"Brother Yan, Sister Xia, thank you for your hard work. Leave the rest to us."

Yan Sen thanked him, indicating that he didn't smoke, and then took out a lighter from his pocket, pretending to light it for the crew-cut youth.

The crew-cut youth was stunned for a moment, then shook his head repeatedly. He was flattered and took Yan Sen's lighter, lit it himself, and handed it back with both hands.

"Thanks, Brother Yan."

Yan Sen casually waved his hand, indicating that they were all buddies and there was no need to be polite, and then reminded the crew-cut youth in a casual tone.

"Be careful on your way back, those two are a bit unruly, be safe on the road."

Don't worry.

The crew-cut youth removed a string of specially made handcuffs from his lower back.

These handcuffs have a unique design, with a thick layer of rubber attached to the inner ring.

His team members roughly twisted Shen Chong and Gao Ning's arms behind their backs.

Then the handcuffs were placed on the wrists of the two men and fastened with a "click." A mechanical buckle on the handcuffs was pressed, and the rubber instantly inflated and expanded, filling every gap between the wrist joints.

The crew-cut young man explained to the young couple that the new handcuffs were specially ordered by General Manager Dou to be made overnight by the technical department.

The purpose is to prevent prisoners from harming themselves to break free of their handcuffs; this upgraded handcuff can restrict their joint movement to the greatest extent.

In short, you can't escape even if you break your bones, unless you chop off your hand.

Then another person came over and inserted the Qi-sealing needles into Gao Ning and Shen Chong one after another. Even the most renowned experts in the world of supernatural beings would be helpless at this point.

Gao Ning had two symmetrical dark circles under his eyes and was drooping his head.

Shen Chong's right arm was severed, and his face was covered in blood.

The two remained silent throughout, offering no resistance whatsoever, like two quails whose spines had been removed, as they were led into the car.

"Shall we still ride our bikes?"

Yan Sen turned to look at his girlfriend and asked softly.

Xia He looked at her dusty short-sleeved shirt and jacket, and shook her slightly sore wrists.

"I'm not riding anymore. Not only was I exposed to the wind the whole way, but I also never got into a fight, and now I have a bit of a headache."

Yan Sen waved over a familiar-looking young man, and the two of them together pushed the heavy Harley motorcycle onto the back of a van. They then asked the young man to help them deliver it to the hotel. The young man readily agreed.

After agreeing with the young man on a day when they had time to play cards, Yan Sen pulled Xia He and got into the back seat of an empty van.

The car door closed, shutting out the cold wind from outside.

The car was well-heated. Yan Sen leaned back in his seat, scrolling through his phone. Xia He casually kicked off her boots, curled her long legs up on the seat, and leaned her head on Yan Sen's shoulder.

The car started smoothly and headed towards downtown Nanchang.

Yan Sen's phone vibrated; it was Dou Le calling him.

Uncle Dou.

"Yan, I'm not making this call for any other reason than to praise you. You did a great job!"

Dou Le's hearty laughter came through the receiver, but Yan Sen was probably still scared by Xu Si and Liao Zhong. When he heard Dou Le praise him for doing a great job, his first thought was not happiness, but vigilance.

He was a little afraid that Dou Le's next words would be something like the company was short of funds and that bonuses would be paid out later, in a planned manner, rather than not at all.

"Uncle, even if you keep praising me, you still have to pay me. We're short on cash right now."

"Tsk, what are you saying, kid? Do you think I'd be short of a pittance like you? I'll transfer your bonus to you tomorrow morning, so don't worry about it!"

Upon hearing Yan Sen's words, Dou Le's tone on the other end of the phone became more disdainful. After complaining about Yan Sen, he continued.

"You and Xia arrested them together, so I believe you two have the right to know their fate. I've already spoken with headquarters. Because the circumstances and nature of their crimes are quite heinous, headquarters' suggestion is to bring them back to me and detain them for a while to see if we can get any information out of them. Then, we'll cripple their cultivation and hand them over to the public security, procuratorate, and courts."

"You're the leader, we'll do whatever you say. Don't even mention ruining their cultivation, we wouldn't mind if you let them go and let us arrest them again."

Yan Sen put his arm around Xia He, who was eavesdropping, and gestured for her to learn from his work attitude, only to be met with a glare in return.

"Don't interrupt me. You want to release them and then arrest them again? How the hell do I have that much free time?"

Dou Le laughed and scolded, then changed the subject, his tone carrying a hint of a leader comforting his core subordinates.

"One last thing, considering that you and Xia have been working non-stop lately, it must be really tough. So I've decided to grant Xia a two-week paid leave."

"I heard that your new big apartment is still airing out, right? Take her out for a good getaway while you're at it. I'll cover the expenses; just bring the receipts back to me and I'll reimburse you both."

Yan Sen was genuinely surprised. He almost blurted out "Holy crap!" but then thought it would be disrespectful to the great Uncle Dou, so he swallowed it back.

That's what a good leader is! (Here's a shout-out to a certain white-haired guy and a certain kidney-deficient sage; they should learn from him.)

Liao Zhong and Xu Si: You little brat, you have no heart!

"Uncle Dou is generous and kind, Uncle Dou is powerful and domineering. Then I will thank the leader on behalf of my Xiangxiang."

After exchanging a few more words with Dou Le, I hung up the phone.

Yan Sen turned his head and glanced at his girlfriend beside him.

Xia He was pretending to be asleep with her eyes closed, but the upturned corners of her mouth betrayed her; it was clear she was very happy.

"Still pretending to be asleep? Even paid leave can't wake you up?" Yan Sen reached out and pinched her cheek. "You're such a greedy woman who fascinates me."

Xia He opened her eyes, her bright blue eyes sparkling. Her good mood even made her ignore Yan Sen's nonsense.

"Are you really going to give me a paid two-week break?"

"Didn't you hear that?"

"Yay!"

Xia He instantly perked up, jumped off Yan Sen's shoulder, and pulled out her phone to start swiping.

The streetlights outside the car window flickered across her face, illuminating the pure joy in her eyes.

Back at the hotel, the two quickly took a shower and discussed where to go for fun.

Xia He was wearing a black silk nightgown and lying on the soft bed.

Two slender, fair legs were raised in mid-air, swinging back and forth. Her fingers slid rapidly across the screen as she muttered to herself.

"It's November now, too cold to go north, I'd still need a down jacket. How about Dali? See Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake, you can ride a motorcycle around the lake. No, no, I've ridden enough motorcycles lately. How about Sanya? Let's go to Yalong Bay to enjoy the sea breeze and eat seafood?"

Xia He turned to look at her man, her eyes sparkling.

"Chouchou, where do you think we should go?"

Yan Sen leaned against the headboard, holding a can of iced cola he had just taken from the refrigerator. He pulled the tab with one hand, making a "hissing" sound.

He tilted his head back and took a swig of cola, his gaze falling on Xia He's face, which was flushed with excitement.

"Xiangxiang, have you noticed that you're acting just like a little girl looking forward to a spring outing?"

Yan Sen twitched the corner of his mouth and muttered a complaint.

Xia He paused in her scrolling on her phone.

She rolled over, sat up cross-legged, raised an eyebrow, and her enchanting aura subtly returned.

"I'm a little girl, I'm only twenty!" Xia He puffed out her chest confidently. "Why can't I be a little girl? I am a little girl!"

"Okay, okay, little girl." Yan Sen followed her words and accurately tossed the empty Coke can into the trash can two meters away.

He slid down a bit, found a comfortable position to lean back, and rested his chin on one hand.

"Actually, this two-week holiday is neither long nor short, and it feels a bit rushed no matter where you go."

Yan Sen spoke calmly, looking directly into Xia He's eyes, "How about this, I'll take you to meet the elders?"

The air in the room fell silent instantly.

Xia He's expression froze.

She remained cross-legged, a flicker of confusion in her eyes that quickly turned into terror and panic.

"To...to meet the elders?" Her voice suddenly rose eight octaves, even cracking slightly.

Xia He's brain started racing. Meet the elders? Meet her parents?

So you're meeting the parents already?!

They've only been dating for a short time! Less than six months at most! Living together, buying a house, and now they've jumped straight to meeting the parents?

Xia He suddenly jumped up from the bed. Due to the large movement, the shoulder strap of her silk nightgown slipped down to her upper arm, revealing her rounded shoulders and a section of delicate collarbone, and even half of her breasts.

But at this moment she couldn't care less about any of that. Her hands were unconsciously gesturing in front of her as she stammered.

"Um... Stinky. Isn't this... a little too fast?"

Yan Sen had already guessed that Xia He had misunderstood, but he mischievously didn't explain, and just quietly watched her perform.

Xia He bit her lower lip, her mind a complete mess, all of her usual composure and ease when dealing with enemies had been forgotten.

"We've only been together a short time! If I go to meet your parents now, won't they think I'm too easy? After meeting the parents, won't we have to discuss marriage? But...but we're still a little short of the legal marriage age!"

She grabbed her long pink hair, looking anxious.

"And another thing! What kind of girl do your parents like? A refined lady or a girl from a modest family? Does my pink hair look too unladylike? Will they think I'm a delinquent? Should I go to the hair salon tomorrow to dye my hair black? And then go to the mall to buy a few simple dresses?"

Yan Sen's seemingly uneventful basic attack tricked Xia He into using her ultimate skill.

Seeing her completely flustered, Yan Sen forced a smile down his face, barely suppressing the urge to burst out laughing.

Xia He became increasingly flustered as she spoke, her face turning as red as a ripe tomato. "How about... how about we get engaged first? And then register our marriage a few years later when we're old enough? I don't need any dowry or anything, we already have a house, but..."

"Pfft—hahahaha!"

Yan Sen couldn't hold it in any longer. He pulled Xia He into his arms, laughing so hard he rolled around on the bed, tears welling up in his eyes.

"What are you laughing at! I'm talking to you seriously!" Xia He angrily punched him twice, but the force was weak.

Yan Sen finally managed to stop laughing and reached out to pinch Xia He's flushed cheeks.

"Xiangxiang, you're really something... Who said I was going to introduce you to my parents?"

Yan Sen looked into her panicked blue eyes, his tone full of teasing, "You've even thought about the engagement and dowry? You're so eager to marry me?"

Xia He was stunned.

"Then what do you mean by...meeting the elders?"

"When I said I'd take you to meet my elders, I didn't mean to my hometown to see my parents," Yan Sen whispered in her ear. "I meant taking you up Longhu Mountain to meet my Grand Tutor and Grandfather Tian."

Xia He was stunned for three seconds.

Then, a wave of shame washed over her instantly.

"Yan! Sen!"

A roar exploded in the hotel room, startling the female guest in the next room.

"You bastard! Why didn't you say so sooner! You just wanted to see me make a fool of myself, didn't you?!"

Xia He was utterly enraged and embarrassed.

She opened her mouth, revealing two rows of white teeth, and bit down on Zhun Yansen's shoulder without any hesitation.

"Ouch—! Ouch, ouch, ouch! You're like a dog!"

"I'll bite you to death, you foul-mouthed scoundrel! I'll make you laugh at me! I'll make you laugh at me!"

The two rolled around in a ball on the large double bed.

The blanket was kicked to the ground, and the pillow was not spared either, becoming a weapon in Xia He's hands.

While protecting his private parts, Yan Sen took the opportunity to tickle Xia He's waist.

"Hahahaha... Let go! Yan Sen, you bastard... Stop scratching there!"

They made a ruckus for a good half hour before finally stopping, panting heavily.

Xia He clung to Yan Sen like an octopus, her head resting on his chest, listening to his steady heartbeat, and the embarrassment and annoyance in her heart had almost dissipated.

She calmed her breathing and suddenly thought of something extremely serious.

"etc."

Xia He suddenly raised her head, her brows furrowed.

"What's wrong?" Yan Sen stroked her long hair, as if he were petting a kitten.

"Longhu Mountain? Celestial Master's Mansion?" Xia He swallowed hard, sinking into a new wave of anxiety. "My Qi Muscles... what if... Anyway, are you sure it's okay for you to take me to Longhu Mountain?"

"If your grand-master saw me, he wouldn't beat me up, would he...?"

Yan Sen's lips curled into a smile, a sly glint in his eyes.

"Don't worry, I, Master Tian, ​​will definitely like you very much. Although my great-grandfather looks dignified, he is actually a rascal and a lovable old man at heart, and he is very protective of his own."

"You're my girlfriend now, and you'll be my wife in the future. You're practically family in the Celestial Master's Mansion. They'll dote on you."

Yan Sen paused, his tone becoming somewhat playful.

"However, there is an old acquaintance on the mountain. I reckon he'll have to take a detour if he sees you."

"You mean... Xiaoyu, oops, Lingyu Zhenren?"

"That's right~ Xiangxiang is so smart~"
