Villains: Starting with the Landlady

"Sorry, beautiful lady, I'll protect this person."

Tao Xin'er glanced at him and said coldly, "Are you sure?"

"certainly……"

Zhao Qian's vision blurred, and he flew an unknown distance before crashing to the ground.

"What the hell?" Tao Xin'er shook her hand, somewhat disgusted that this person had dirtied her hands. She called over a few men who did odd jobs, and they threw Zhao Qian's unconscious body onto the road.

After they left, a ragged, half-mad old beggar approached Zhao Qian, chuckling as he desperately dragged Zhao Qian toward the bridge arch...

The next day, as the two parted, Lingyun felt a warmth in his heart as he watched her carefully smooth out the wrinkles in his clothes.

"Young Master, Young Master..."

The female secretary blushed, her mind clearing of all other thoughts, filled only with a deepening liking, until it crossed a certain threshold and became "love".

"How did you sleep last night?"

Lingyun grabbed her small hand: "Xuehui, Linglong, she..."

After hearing about Su Linglong's situation, Fu Xuehui nodded: "That's good. Helping a gambling addict is useless. If you pay off his debts, he'll just think you're a fool. You did a great job, but I'll find a lawyer and try to get him sentenced to a few more years."

"Do you know anyone?"

"Please, my little man, I am the president of Imperial University, do you know what that means?"

He had almost forgotten that the beautiful and aloof woman before him actually held a very high status. Old Master Su had played a part in this, as he also greatly favored this girl from the Fu family.

"Grandpa's 70th birthday is in a few days, are you going?"

"I'll go, but I have to leave after I get there; I have other things to do that day."

Ling Yun shrugged. He was just asking; he wasn't in a hurry.

After Fu Xuehui dropped him off at home, Ling Yaxuan parked his car at the door.

"Boss, Third Sister followed Zhao Qian last night..."

Ling Yun frowned as he listened: "Zhao Qian is at least a D-level expert. To be able to knock him out so easily, that woman named Tao Xin'er is probably about as strong as me, right?"

"Yes, and his moves were very mysterious; he must be a successor of ancient martial arts."

“I understand. You can continue following him. I know Yao Haihong. Actually, I should have thought of this earlier, since his son is gay.”

Chapter 57 Smoking is harmful to health

"Okay, boss, I'll take you to Liu Hao's house this evening?"

"sorry to bother you."

"Not at all, after all, everything we have belongs to you, boss."

[Zhao Qian suffered a major blow due to an unspeakable incident, his luck has been reduced by 50 points, currently standing at 200 points!]

Ling Yun scratched his head. Zhao Qian hadn't even made a move yet, so how could he have suffered such a major blow?

The old beggar under the overpass had been beaten beyond recognition by Zhao Qian. Fortunately, there were no surveillance cameras here, otherwise the news of Zhao Qian's chrysanthemum being assaulted would have spread throughout the entire capital.

That damned old beggar, he actually picked up his own corpse!

Thinking of this, he kicked the old beggar a few more times to vent his anger.

Ling Yaxuan got out of the car and took out a pack of cigarettes from her pocket. She deliberately took one out under Ling Yun's surprised expression, lit it with practiced ease, took a deep drag, and then slightly raised her head, exhaling a smoke ring with a touch of elegance.

"You still smoke?"

"Hmm?" Ling Yaxuan was taken aback, then slowly nodded.

"Quit it. You know how harmful smoking is for women."

"Okay, I'll try to smoke less."

"I told you to quit!" Ling Yun's expression was somewhat unpleasant. He hadn't expected that Ling Yaxuan, who was always obedient, would actually disobey him.

"Boss, this is one of my few hobbies..." Ling Yaxuan lowered her head slightly, the ash in her hand growing longer and longer, but it didn't fall.

Ling Yun grabbed her small hand, snatched the cigarette from her hand, threw it on the ground, and kicked it a few times.

"I told you not to smoke, didn't you understand?"

Ling Yaxuan pursed her lips, but she still stubbornly replied, "I will try to smoke less, and I won't smoke in front of you."

Ling Yun laughed in exasperation. Seeing Ling Yaxuan's stubborn and unrepentant attitude, he was speechless. In the end, he could only hug her and say softly, "Smoking is harmful to your health."

"My body is not affected by the smoke."

"You... never mind, you can go ahead and get busy." Ling Yun let go of her, not noticing the fleeting disappointment on Ling Yaxuan's face, waved his hand, and returned to his room.

He sat on the sofa and turned on the TV.

"Xiao Na, is this the man in black you promised me, the one who would never betray me and would be absolutely loyal?"

They will never betray you, working tirelessly and doing all the dirty and tiring work for you without asking for rest. However, they are also living, breathing human beings with their own hobbies.

"I don't like drivers who smoke, so the car won't smell like smoke all the time. Please find someone else to drive me."

【Master, are you angry?】

Xiao Na panicked a little, but Ling Yun insisted on changing drivers no matter what, so in the end she could only pass the message to Ling Yaxuan, who was sitting on the bench in a daze.

"The boss doesn't want me anymore?" Ling Yaxuan was stunned, as if struck by lightning. She glanced at the cigarette pack next to her, threw it into the trash can, and immediately drove to the villa not far away.

The doorbell rang, and Ling Yun opened the door. Ling Yaxuan stood prettily at the door, her face showing panic.

"Boss, may I come in and talk to you?"

Ling Yun stared at her for a couple of seconds, then turned and sat down on the sofa.

Ling Yaxuan closed the door and walked up to him.

"Does what I said have no effect now?"

"no……"

"I don't care if you have your own hobbies, but I also have the freedom to change them."

"No, boss, if I leave you, I... I really don't know what else I can do!"

"I didn't say I didn't want you. I just want you to do other things. You can leave the driving to Ling Ruoxue."

Ling Yaxuan bit her lip, and with a final, resolute decision, took off her suit jacket and began unbuttoning her shirt.

"What are you doing?" Ling Yun looked up at her in surprise.

But something even more surprising happened: Ling Yaxuan had a faint purple pattern below her long, narrow navel.

"Boss, I'm sorry I'm only telling you this now." Ling Yaxuan pulled at the hem of her shirt with both hands, making the pattern clearer.

“This is your unique marking. Some of our abilities are sealed, and only after you recognize us can we unlock these special abilities. Actually, we have been waiting for a long time, but you have been slow to act.”

Ling Yun was dumbfounded: "Is that so?"

【Master, Xiaona hopes that the men in black she's assigned to you will not only protect your safety but also take good care of your daily life... I'm so sorry, dear Master, I promise I won't hide it from you anymore!】

Looking at the uneasy Ling Yaxuan, and the cautious Xiao Na in his mind, Ling Yun remained silent.

"So, you're saying you smoke just to get my attention?"

"I hope the boss will punish me severely, so that I can complete the certification... Because the master hasn't taken any action for so many days, I can only think of some other ways."

Ling Yun covered his face with his hands. No wonder Xiao Na had urged him to take all three women as his concubines; it turned out there was another reason behind it.

"Let's do it tomorrow..."

"Is it because the boss is no good?"

"Ok?"

Ling Yaxuan crossed her arms, a mocking smile suddenly appearing on her face, tinged with disdain: "That's right. If the boss were truly capable, she would have already taken action. Are you worried about the negative impact? Don't worry, boss, even if you're not very capable, we won't laugh at you..."

Before she could finish speaking, Ling Yun, who was slightly angry, grabbed her arm and pressed her down onto the sofa.

"You, Ya Xuan, are you trying to provoke me now?"

Ling Yaxuan bit her lower lip, determined to be the first to activate it: "Honest advice is hard to hear but beneficial. I just want to tell you, boss, that our loyalty will not be diminished because of your shortcomings."

"By the way, my second sister is skilled in pharmacology. Would you like her to help you with your treatment?"

"Damn it, I admit it, I really want to punish you severely right now!"

"If you really can't..."

"You wanted to get verified? Here you go, I'll get it verified right now!"

Ling Yun watched as Ling Yaxuan gradually calmed down, finding it amusing that Ling Yaxuan had used such clumsy techniques to seduce him.

However, it must be said that she did a really good job of controlling her expression just now. Even though I knew she was doing it on purpose, I was still moved by her emotions.

It seems my self-cultivation skills are still lacking!

Cultivating Qi? Right, didn't Zhao Qian have an introductory guide to cultivating Qi?

Chapter 58 New Ability - Danger Warning

Ling Yun looked at the woman on the sofa, Ling Yaxuan, who was now tall and always exuded a mature and sophisticated aura, and longed for him to give her a unique tattoo.

Although he likes beautiful women, he's not a teddy bear.

From the moment Ling Yaxuan and the other two women started following him until he gave them names, he genuinely treated them as his friends and subordinates. Each of the three women had her own unique charm, and he admired and trusted them, but not to that extent.

Once the superior-subordinate relationship involves private life, it often becomes distorted.

Ask yourself, if they became your women, would you still be willing to let them follow the "protagonist" or carry out dangerous missions?

Xiao Na has now set a hurdle for herself: if she doesn't get certified, some of the three women's abilities will be restricted.

The patterns flashed with a dazzling light, and a rich purple filled the entire room. This strange phenomenon lasted for a full minute before gradually subsiding.

【Don't worry, Master, this light is undetectable from the outside!】

What are your special abilities?

"It's a passive skill, a danger warning. It can not only detect the three of us sisters, but also sense the danger around you, boss."

"This skill is not bad."

Ling Yun touched his chin, sensing something akin to spider-like perception, albeit a limited one.

A cell phone rang, interrupting them. Ling Yaxuan took the phone and placed it in Ling Yun's hand.

Qi Jingjing?

This girl called him and ruined his plans; he had to punish her!

"Hey, Jingjing, what's wrong?"

"Lingyun, I miss you..."

A girl's low, hoarse voice, tinged with sorrow, came through the room, giving Ling Yun the unsettling feeling that he'd become a scumbag. After he comforted her for a while, the girl seemed to improve considerably, finally saying, "Oh, by the way, my mom wants you to come over for lunch!"

"what?"

"Please, please! She said this time she's really well-prepared and it'll definitely be delicious!"

"Please, I'm begging you, can I bring my own food instead?"

Qi Jingjing laughed so hard she was shaking, and finally convinced Ling Yun to come empty-handed.

After hanging up the phone, Maya came over and asked nervously, "Is he coming?"

"Yes, he said he'd come!"

"That's good."
