What kind of magic? This is called cultivating immortality!

In the cramped waiting room, Zhong Hui walked toward a beautiful woman who was resting against the corner of the wall and reached out toward her abdomen.

Just as his hand was about to touch the other person, a woman with her eyes open suddenly reached out and slapped Zhong Hui's hand away, staring at him warily and shouting sharply, "What do you want to do?"

The sharp sound instantly shattered the silence in the room, and everyone turned to look.

Surrounded by a crowd of gazes, the woman suddenly felt even more confident. She quickly protected her companion, who had just been awakened and was still groggy, and then shouted righteously, "This man saw Xiaolian sleeping and tried to sneak up on her, but luckily I discovered him in time and stopped him!"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of everyone in the room changed drastically.

As people looked at Zhong Hui, who was frowning, they whispered among themselves, and some even cursed him.

"Looks decent enough, yet does such a despicable thing?"

"So thirsty? Go find your mother."

"You, caught working as a gigolo, are still interested in women?"

"..."

"Quiet down, everyone! Any more noise will be dealt with severely!" Officer Xu realized the situation was getting out of hand and hurriedly banged on the door frame to stop them.

The woman who started the trouble was still furious: "He tried to molest Xiaolian, and you stood at the door the whole time and didn't see it? Do you even deserve to be a police officer?"

“We’re forced into this line of work, but that doesn’t mean we can let others take advantage of us.” Someone nearby chimed in, and several others echoed their dissatisfaction.

Despite being the victim, Xiao Lian remained unusually calm, simply staring with her watery eyes at the handsome man before her.

"I am saving you."

Zhong Hui remained calm and said indifferently, "The Giant Sun God Envoy has planted a seed in your bodies. If it is not removed, you will explode and die in a few days."

"Hmph, you've certainly come up with a good set of excuses. We don't know any divine messengers, so where would we get any seeds? Besides, what ability do you have to help eliminate them?"

The woman, her face full of disdain, cursed, "In my opinion, you're a beast in human form, a rotten ass..."

"Snapped!"

A crisp, resounding slap landed on the woman's face. She covered her swollen cheek in disbelief, then trembled violently, staring intently at Zhong Hui: "You dare hit me?"

"Shut up." Zhong Hui's gaze was icy, his pupils seemingly filled with a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

Meeting that gaze, the woman's heart trembled, and she instinctively shrank back. But thinking of how she had been beaten for no reason and lost face, she mustered her courage and said, "Pretending, you bastard..."

With a loud bang, Officer Xu, unable to bear it any longer, slammed his fist on the door, pointed at the woman who had been so lively, and shouted angrily, "Li Jiajia, watch your mouth! Do you know who she is? If you don't..."

Halfway through his sentence, he suddenly remembered that the magical girl's identity should be kept strictly confidential, so he had to suppress the urge to explain and instead gave a serious warning: "Recently, a divine messenger has been specifically targeting people like you who engage in prostitution. This person is a staff member specially dispatched by the Municipal Bureau to help you with physical examinations and eliminate potential dangers! You have repeatedly slandered and insulted public officials, which is already suspected of being illegal, do you know that? In addition, you are also engaged in prostitution. With multiple crimes combined, it wouldn't be a problem for you to be sentenced to two or three years."

This warning is clearly very deterrent.

The crowd, which had been noisy and indignant just moments before, fell silent in an instant. Even the troublemaker Li Jiajia only glared at Zhong Hui before covering her face and daring not to utter another word of provocation.

"When dealing with one or two of these people, you can't be too nice to them."

Officer Xu shook his head, then politely said to Zhong Hui, "No one's making a scene now, you can continue."

Zhong Hui chuckled and thanked her, then raised his hand again and gently placed it on Xiao Lian's abdomen.

Xiaolian's temperament is quite good among this group of oddballs. She has remained quiet since the conflict broke out, and she has not resisted the hand placed on her stomach at all, letting the other person touch her.

As his fingertips touched her soft skin, wisps of spiritual energy immediately flowed into her body. Zhong Hui manipulated the spiritual energy meticulously, like peeling silk from a cocoon with tweezers, layer by layer revealing the mottled life energy gathered from the seeds, and evenly distributing it throughout her body.

After completing this step, he still needs to use his spiritual energy to lock onto the seed and slowly pull it outwards. He must be extremely careful throughout the process to prevent the seed from going out of control and injuring the human body.

This is destined to be a meticulous and complex process.

Xiaolian stared intently at Zhong Hui, who was focused on his work, when she suddenly felt a faint warmth in her lower abdomen, as if she had a heat pack on it. She couldn't help but ask softly, "It's so hot... What's going on? Is it because your hands are too hot?"

"No."

As Zhong Hui continued to strip away the energy, he casually replied, "The seed within your body has secretly absorbed a considerable amount of life energy. It remains hidden and undetected until now. As I cleanse it, this dormant energy is being activated, which is why your abdomen is hot. This is just the beginning; you will feel heat throughout your entire body soon."

"Oh, I see."

Xiaolian didn't actually understand what he was saying at all; she just wanted to start a conversation, so she asked, "What exactly is this seed you're talking about? And what is life energy?"

“The seed was planted when the Giant Sun God Envoy made love to you,” Zhong Hui explained bluntly. “In a sense, life energy is equivalent to human lifespan. Each of the other men who made love to you these past few days had ten years of their lifespan drained by this seed.”

"what?"

Xiao Lian's almond-shaped eyes widened in disbelief. "You mean... all the clients who pay to be with me will live ten years less?"

Seeing Zhong Hui nod in confirmation, she hurriedly asked, "Then... can these lifespans be returned?"

Zhong Hui gently shook his head.

Strictly speaking, lifespan is not a tangible substance, but a special concept. Once lifespan is stripped away, returning it is far more difficult than absorbing it, involving many aspects. In any case, Zhong Hui, who is currently at the Golden Core stage, cannot think of a better method for the time being.

Overwhelmed by guilt, Xiaolian turned pale and was filled with unease and self-reproach.

Seeing this, Li Jiajia curled her lip and said, "Those clients were never good people to begin with. They're dead, so what? What's there to feel guilty or sorry about?"

Xiaolian retorted softly, "They're not exactly good people, but we're not exactly honorable either... In the end, we rely on them for our livelihood, so we can't eat our food and then turn around and curse them."

Li Jiajia was speechless for a moment, and after a long while, she managed to squeeze out a muffled sentence: "We are all forced by life, it's not our own choice."

In fact, this is also the thought of the vast majority of prostitutes.

They believe that their prostitution is influenced by a series of external factors such as environment and family, and is not their own choice.

However, how could a truly determined person be influenced by external factors?

Officer Xu, who stood outside the door listening to the whole thing, had a particularly strange expression on his face.

what is this?

A virtuous woman who has fallen from grace?

Having seen so many people like Li Jiajia, this was the first time I'd encountered someone like this. The overwhelming sense of disconnect was so intense that Officer Xu covered his eyes and shook his head repeatedly, trying to confirm whether he was hallucinating or dreaming.

Before long, the burning sensation spread throughout Xiaolian's body, making her feel as if she were soaking in a hot spring. Her face flushed, and she breathed slightly, "It's so hot!"

“That’s normal. The life energy that was stripped away has been integrated into your body, and your life level has reached a higher level. Your body will naturally generate heat,” Zhong Hui said.

"All the life energy has been absorbed into my body?"

Xiao Lian exclaimed in shock, "I've entertained six guests in the past few days, does that mean I can live for another six years?!"

Upon hearing this, all the women in the room turned green with envy, as if they had discovered a path to immortality.

The concept of "immortality" is ingrained in everyone's genes; no one can easily ignore it.

"You're overthinking it." Zhong Hui poured cold water on everyone without any mercy. "You are not cultivators. Life energy is a kind of lifespan, but it cannot be treated simply as lifespan. It's not as simple as one plus one. At most, it can only improve your physique and enhance your immunity, making you less likely to get terminal diseases."

Upon hearing this, everyone could not hide their disappointment.

At the same time, the life energy was finally completely stripped away.

As the warmth on her body slowly subsided, Xiaolian breathed a sigh of relief, only to feel a foreign object wriggling in her abdomen, followed by intense nausea. She bent over and began to gag violently.

"vomit……"

A long, bright green seed was spat out from her throat and landed steadily in Zhong Hui's outstretched palm.

"This... is what was planted in my body." Xiaolian breathed softly, her eyes red-rimmed and her face pale.

"Ah."

Zhong Hui's pupils turned golden as he carefully examined the slightly glowing seed in his palm. Then, a faint smile appeared on his lips. "The method isn't particularly sophisticated; it can only absorb and transfer life force. But that guy has shot himself in the foot. Giant Sun... I look forward to the day I meet you."

He chuckled, put the seed away, and said, "Alright, next one."

As soon as he finished speaking, several women nearby rushed forward, raising their hands and calling out. The people behind him also reacted quickly, abandoning all restraint and crowding forward, with some even pulling and shoving each other.

Previously, everyone was skeptical of Zhong Hui's words, but when they saw Xiao Lian spit out a seed, they panicked, fearing that they would really explode and die.

In a life-or-death situation, everyone just wants to save their own life.

"Don't push! Line up, one at a time!"

Officer Xu banged on the door to stop them, but he couldn't calm the chaotic crowd at all.

"If you continue to make noise and cut in line, I will not treat you." Zhong Hui sat still and spoke calmly.

With just one sentence, the noisy group of women instantly quieted down, obediently lined up, and waited for treatment.

Among the queuing crowd, Li Jiajia's eyes were unfathomable, and it was unclear what she was thinking.

The treatment in the prison cell was progressing smoothly, but at this moment, a bloody storm had been unleashed in Fangyuan City.

Inside an old, rented room, a man and a woman are flirting intimately.

"Brother Wang, it's been so long since you've come to see me."

"Sis, you're amazing! Every time I come here, I have to take several days off. If I come a few more times, how am I supposed to survive?"

"No, I want you to come every day."

"Okay, okay, come every day, give me a kiss first."

"Hmm~"

In the midst of their tender moment, a sudden, deafening crash resounded, startling the two into a hug as they stared in horror at the dented and warped iron gate.

Before they could get up, the door was kicked open, and several police officers filed in, their sharp eyes locking onto the two people inside.

"Police are conducting a raid on prostitution. Get dressed immediately and come with us to the police station for questioning!"

Another luxurious KTV room.

“You’re involved in prostitution, nitrous oxide inhalation, put on some clothes, and come with us.”

"Young man, I'll go with you..."

A portly middle-aged man stepped forward, trying to establish a connection, but the police officer didn't even look up and said indifferently, "Even if you know the mayor, it won't help. If you have something to say, go back to the police station."

This crackdown on prostitution swept through the city like a storm.

Old residential buildings, upscale villa areas, privately built houses, small hotels, chain hotels...

All locations in the city where sex transactions were arranged privately through online communication were precisely located by the police, and no one was able to escape.

Tonight will undoubtedly become a nightmare that many men and women will never forget.

…………

The night was deep, the bright moon hung high, and the cool moonlight spread across the barren mountains, casting a hazy silver glow over the lush green hills.

All was silent, the entire mountain forest was asleep, and the surroundings were so quiet you could hear a pin drop. At this moment, a terrifying shockwave suddenly erupted from the depths of the desolate mountains, causing the earth to tremble and rumble.
