Awakening the Phoenix Flow System after the breakup, I'm so happy!

The steam in the bathroom grew thicker and thicker, covering the large mirror on the sink with a layer of white condensation.

Warm water flowed down Li Ruoxue's fair neck, wetting her hair.

The water flowed onto her skin, its curves subtly revealed through the mist, captivating the eye.

Li Ruoxue was so wet from the shower that she couldn't open her eyes, so she buried her face in Chen Yang's chest, gripping his shoulders tightly with both hands.

"Turn the water down a bit, it's getting into my eyes."

Her voice was soft and gentle, but the sound of water in the bathroom made it sound like she was being coquettish.

Instead of turning down the water, Chen Yang pulled the person even tighter into his arms.

"Use plenty of water to wash it clean. You're all sweaty, you need to rinse it off for a while."

As he spoke, his hands never stopped moving.

Li Ruoxue gasped, her body involuntarily shrinking back, only to bump into the cold tiles.

"Why are you pushing your luck? We agreed it was just a bath. Where are you putting your hands?"

She grabbed Chen Yang's wrist in a fit of anger, but she had already exhausted all her strength.

Chen Yang chuckled softly, his warm breath brushing against Li Ruoxue's earlobe, making her shiver.

"What are you saying? I'm just helping you wash. Of course I have to do it for you where you can't reach."

"Besides, you promised me in the car just now, and it's too late to go back on your word now."

Li Ruoxue blushed and bit her lower lip, speechless at his twisted logic, and could only let this scoundrel mold her as he pleased.

The only sounds in the cramped bathroom were the rushing water and the occasional distorted complaints.

The bath lasted for more than an hour.

When Chen Yang wrapped her up tightly in a bath towel and carried her back to the bedroom, Li Ruoxue didn't even have the strength to lift a finger.

Chen Yang skillfully tucked the person into the bed, then crawled in himself, stretching out his long arm to pull the soft body into his embrace.

Li Ruoxue was exhausted. Tonight, she first led a team on a police call, and then this bastard tormented her for so long in the bathroom.

She lost all desire to curse, found a comfortable position to lean against Chen Yang's chest, closed her eyes, and fell into a deep sleep within two minutes.

Chen Yang looked at her peaceful sleeping face, her long eyelashes still trembling slightly, and couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her smooth forehead.

She usually looks like a tigress, but if you soothe her in private, she's actually quite lovable.

When I woke up the next day, it was already noon.

The bright sunlight outside shone through the gap in the curtains, shining directly onto Chen Yang's eyelids.

Chen Yang squinted and stretched, only to find that half of his arm was numb.

Li Ruoxue remained in the same position as last night, clinging to him like an octopus, with half her face pressed against his chest muscles.

"Hey Captain Li, your sleeping habits aren't very good. You're using me like a pillow."

Chen Yang reached out and pinched her soft cheek, waking her up.

Li Ruoxue opened her eyes groggily, stared at Chen Yang's irritating face for a long time before realizing her current predicament.

She quickly let go and shrank back into the blankets, her face as red as a ripe apple.

With this movement, an embarrassing soreness shot through my lower back.

"You bastard, I still have to report the case to the station today, how am I supposed to face anyone?"

Li Ruoxue clutched her waist, glaring angrily at Chen Yang, wishing she could pounce on him and bite him.

Chen Yang leaned against the headboard nonchalantly, the blanket slipping down to reveal his muscular upper body.

"How do you meet them? Just walk there. If that doesn't work, ask your bureau chief for leave and say you were overworked last night working on the security of Jiangcheng."

"You still need to work on your physical fitness. Don't you do field training in the police force? You were complaining of back pain after just a short while last night."

Li Ruoxue was so angry that she grabbed a pillow and threw it at his face.

"Shut up, you're getting the benefit and you're still acting innocent. I shouldn't have let you through this door last night."

Chen Yang caught the pillow and placed it behind his head, watching her throw a tantrum with a smile.

"It's too late to regret it now. The deed is done. When are you going to take responsibility for me?"

The two played around in bed for a while, but Li Ruoxue was too shy to resist his shameless teasing.

She forced herself to sit up, her body aching, and grabbed the clothes from the bedside table to put them on.

"You're always bullying me. Say something serious."

Li Ruoxue turned to look at Chen Yang while buttoning her shirt.

"How exactly did you kill that monster last night? The forensic doctor took a preliminary look and said that even a chainsaw couldn't cut through its skin."

Chen Yang also put away his joking thoughts and pulled the blanket over his stomach.

"I don't know what that thing is called, but as long as it's alive, it has vents and a fatal weakness."

"No matter how tough its outer skin is, the bone crevices under its chin are soft. If I inject my internal energy into its brain, it will certainly die."

Li Ruoxue frowned, put on her clothes, sat on the edge of the bed, and sighed.

"This is too bizarre. Wang Shao Cong brought more than a dozen people, and they were all bitten to death by that monster. The scene was horrific."

"Qin Wenzheng has been taken into custody, but he's very stubborn and refuses to say where the bronze jue cup came from."

Chen Yang put his hands behind his head and looked at the ceiling.

"Where else could it have come from? Besides Kuroba's transnational organization that deals in antiques, who else could produce something poisonous like this?"

"First they tried to poison Old Master Qin with poisonous insects, and when that failed, they lured out this mutated monster to silence him. These people really will stop at nothing for that piece of land."

Li Ruoxue turned around and looked at him with some confusion.

"You mean the new town plot of land owned by Xingchen Group in the eastern suburbs?"

"Kuroba went to such great lengths, even risking exposing his domestic influence, just for that piece of land? What exactly is beneath that land?"

Chen Yang shook his head; he hadn't figured this out yet either.

"It's definitely not for building buildings to sell houses. I tested that monster's power last night, and it's definitely not a natural mutation."

"If Kuroba is conducting some kind of illegal biological experiment, that piece of land is very likely the entrance to their experimental base."

Just as the two were sorting out the case, the cell phone on the bedside table rang at an inopportune moment.

Li Ruoxue picked up the phone, glanced at the screen, and her expression immediately changed.

She turned to Chen Yang and gestured for him to be quiet, even softening her breathing, before sliding to answer the call.

"Director Zhao, it's me. What are your instructions?"

As she listened to what was being said on the other end of the phone, Li Ruoxue's brows furrowed more and more, and she kept glancing at Chen Yang.

"This case isn't under our jurisdiction anymore? But we were the ones who investigated the scene, and so many people sacrificed their lives..."

"Okay, I understand. I'll inform him right away."

Li Ruoxue hung up the phone, staring blankly at the screen in her hand, her face looking rather pale.

Chen Yang sat up from the covers and waved his hand in front of her eyes twice.

"What happened? Did your bureau chief yell at you this early in the morning?"

Li Ruoxue snapped out of her daze, threw her phone on the bed, and looked at Chen Yang with a helpless expression.

"The case has been taken over. Just now, the higher-ups sent people down to take away the monster's body and all the physical evidence."

Chen Yang wasn't surprised; ordinary police officers couldn't handle these supernatural things anyway.

"Take him away if you want. This will lighten your load so you can spend more time with me at home."

Li Ruoxue ignored his banter, stood up, and opened the wardrobe to find her pants.

"Don't be too happy yet. Director Zhao just said that the Special Affairs Bureau is the one that has taken over the case."

"They specifically asked to see you and want you to come with me to the Municipal Public Security Bureau right now."
