Villains: Starting with the Landlady

"Pfft."

"I haven't mixed drinks for a long time. I only came down today because I was feeling a bit unsettled. I usually work behind the scenes."

"Are you really willing to go against the Sun family for my sake?"

"I'm not good with words, and even if it weren't for you, we would have clashed sooner or later. Now, it's happening earlier because of you."

"Hehe, you could have easily said something nice to fool me. It seems Young Master Ling is quite extraordinary, huh?"

"Remember, you're my woman now, so don't do anything out of line. Just focus on running your bar, and I'll take care of the rest."

"Okay, my man."

"Okay, I'm leaving first."

Ling Yun waved and went downstairs alone.

Ling Yaxuan's car had arrived. Ling Yun got into the car, thought for a moment, and then said, "Let's go to Qi Jingjing's house. I'm hungry."

"Good boss."

It was late at night, and many people had already gone to sleep, waiting for the sun to shine on the earth again the next day.

Before going to sleep, Ling Yun sent a message to Ling Yaxuan, telling them to get ready to give Yao Haihong some fun tomorrow.

While the Qi family villa enjoyed a peaceful and serene atmosphere, the law enforcement bureau on Huahai Road at the other end was bustling with activity. Due to the large number of idiots and the involvement of certain matters, almost all of the capital's best interrogation experts and police officers were gathered here, launching a relentless interrogation of this Japanese national.

Aside from avoiding vigilante justice, all sorts of methods have been used, and they have successfully pried open the mouths of some of the little bastards.

"Brother Xu, this matter is related to the Yao family."

"Hmph, they're really getting more and more lawless, daring to do this right under our noses!"

"Then, according to your opinion..."

"If you do something wrong, you have to take responsibility for it. We knew they had problems before, but we didn't have any evidence to take action. Now that they've come to us, don't blame us for being impolite!"

"How will you explain this to Mr. Chang?"

"Explain?" Xu Lu scoffed. "What does a grasshopper in autumn need to explain?"

Deputy Police Inspector Zuo Wende's pupils contracted, and after meeting his cold gaze, he quickly lowered his head: "I understand."

Xu Lu patted him on the shoulder and whispered a few words of advice, to which Zuo Wende nodded repeatedly.

"Brother Xu, I know!"

Xu Lu hummed in agreement and didn't say anything more.

Inside the interrogation room, Zheng Xi accepted the coffee someone brought her, thanked them, and took a sip.

"Hey, Zheng Xi, why don't you go and rest for a bit? I'll take over."

A young man grinned at Zheng Xi; he was the one who had just brought her the coffee. Although he was a colleague from another department, it wasn't long before people knew that he liked Zheng Xi.

"Thank you, Chang Tai, but it's my duty."

"Haha, everyone knows it's all thanks to your bureau. We're just here to help!" Chang Tai sat down next to her, but Zheng Xi's expression stiffened, and she moved to the side.

This small setback caused great harm to Changtai, and the onlookers couldn't help but laugh.

"Go on with your work, what are you looking at me for?"

Chang Tai's expression immediately changed, and he shouted at his subordinates behind him. The subordinates looked at each other, then smiled and went to other interrogation locations.

"Chang Tai, what are you doing here instead of doing real work as a team leader?"

"Okay, okay!"

Chang Tai broke out in a cold sweat when he saw the woman. It is said that every creature has its nemesis. Although they were all captains of their respective branches, this woman had beaten him like a grandson in a martial arts tournament. Now, he was terrified whenever he saw her.

"Sweetheart, you hate that person too, right?"

After Chang Tai left, Samantha sat down next to Zheng Xi and casually put her arm around her shoulder.

"Hey, you know, I've clearly rejected him, and... I already have someone I like, so I don't want to have anything to do with him at all."

"Hmm, but he hasn't given up on you." Samantha took a sip of her coffee, then suddenly turned to look at her. "What? You said you have someone you like?"

Chapter 89 The Effects of Qi Cultivation Techniques

"Yeah, so what? Can't I have someone I like?"

Zheng Xi raised her eyebrows slightly. She and Samantha had a pretty good relationship. They had known each other for several years and had both recently climbed up the ranks. Moreover, their skills were about the same, and they had a sense of mutual respect.

"I'm just curious what kind of boyfriend a beauty like you would choose. Introduce me to him sometime!"

Samantha smiled brightly. Her parents were from the Great Eagle Kingdom, but later joined the Dragon Kingdom. She was born a Dragon Kingdom citizen and grew up there. However, because of her parents, she was fluent in both the Dragon and Eagle languages, and she also inherited the cheerful and generous personality of the Great Eagle people.

"They're not boyfriend and girlfriend yet, they just have feelings for each other."

"Hmm, then I'll definitely want to see him." Samantha nodded. "He must be really good. You won't be angry if I snatch him away, will you?"

"Alright, I'm going to get busy."

Zheng Xi stood up with a smile, not taking Samantha's joke seriously.

Samantha had just finished a busy round and came to relax. Seeing that her other colleagues were all busy, she couldn't slack off, so she finished her coffee and went back.

The next morning, Lingyun felt itchy all over and slowly opened her eyes.

Ling Yun wasn't sleepy at all; he was full of energy and felt incredibly sharp, able to see even the ants on the outer wall clearly.

Wait, how can you see ants that far away?

Ling Yun sat up straight, which caused the beauty beside him to let out a disgruntled snort, but Ling Yun didn't have time to care and immediately ran to the window.

Lingyun discovered that he not only saw ants, but also the tiny hairs on their bodies!

Holy crap, what's going on? Did my eyes suddenly become super cameras with built-in zoom-in and zoom-out functions, reaching 5.76 million pixels?!

Good morning, Master.

Xiao Na doesn't usually report proactively; she's like a girl who watches dramas and only occasionally posts a few comments when she sees something she likes.

"Nana, what's wrong with my eyes?"

[It's not just the eyes, doesn't the owner notice that their breathing rhythm is perfectly consistent, without the slightest error?]

When you don't pay attention to your breathing, it's natural. But if you consciously focus on it, it might change slightly because of your movements. However, when Lingyun calmed down and felt it, he found that it was indeed as Xiaona had said: his breathing frequency was completely consistent, like a meticulous machine.

How strange!

This is the effect of "cultivating qi"!

"Qi cultivation technique? But it's also at the beginner level. I don't see any special abilities in Zhao Qian."

[This is a modified version by me. The current Qi cultivation technique will subtly enhance various aspects of your body, bringing you closer to perfection. The first thing it will improve is your five senses, and it doesn't require dedicated practice; your daily breathing exercises will gradually increase your proficiency. It has four stages: beginner, intermediate, advanced, and master!]

"Goodness, this is starting to resemble a cultivation technique."

[It's not just similar, it is clearly it! And, Master, your combat power is already at the peak of the current world after reaching B-rank. Plundering the "protagonist" won't further increase your power, but the Qi Cultivation Technique will allow you to break through this limit. You won't need to train; your breathing will make you stronger!]

"That suits me perfectly. It's much more fun to plunder so-called 'protagonists' and conquer the world than to spend so much time exercising every day."

Isn't a man's goal simply to lie on the lap of a beautiful woman and hold power over the world?

"But Xiaona, although I don't know the strength ratings later on, if B-level is the peak, wouldn't that be pretty boring?"

Don't worry, Master, there will be plenty of other "protagonists" for you to plunder. Besides, I've already said, these are just the pinnacle of this world.

"What do you mean? Is it like a game, where there's another level after you beat this one?"

[No, you'll find out after you successfully plunder the five "protagonists," hehe!]

Xiao Na's mouth was tight, but it made Ling Yun grit his teeth in hatred. If she were to materialize now, he would definitely take revenge on this system spirit and make her distinguish between the king and queen.

[Silly owner, what are you thinking? Xiao Na doesn't look like that!]

"Ahem, well, you should at least tell me what you look like, right?"

[Secret~]

Chapter 90 Leng Hanyan's Friend Request

After Wednesday and Thursday, he had a full schedule of classes. Although Ling Yun wanted to spend more time with the two beauties, he had no choice but to get up, wash up, and go to school.

Upon arriving at the school, Zhang Caiwei waited for them at the entrance, while Ling Yun naturally took one of them by the hand and led them inside.

During class, Ling Yun was reading international news when a text message popped up, labeled "Young Master Sun".

Although his identity is relatively hidden, a very small number of people know his true situation, including the Sun family.

"Young Master Ling, this is Sun Yichen, also known as Xiao Sun. We heard that Grandpa Su is celebrating his 70th birthday on the eighth day of the eighth lunar month, so on behalf of the entire Sun family, we extend our sincerest greetings to you and Grandpa Su..."

After reading it, Ling Yun clicked his tongue. A whole bunch of nonsense, it was annoying to read.

However, one shouldn't hit a smiling face, so Ling Yun decided to ignore him and turned to hold Qi Jingjing's small hand.

Because he had ruined her mood, Ling Yun opened WeChat, intending to chat with the girls, when she suddenly saw a friend request.

Application content: Your alumni.

Ling Yun frowned. Inside the school, he hadn't given his WeChat ID to any of the girls except for a few. Who was this girl?

The profile picture is a big pink bear, and the Moments posts are restricted to private users only.

Ling Yun thought for a moment, first setting her to be unable to view his Moments, and then approved the application.

On the other end, Leng Hanyan was reading in an empty classroom. When she saw that her application had been approved, she suddenly felt nervous and then sent a "hello" emoji.

Ling Yun didn't reply, but instead opened her Moments. When Leng Hanyan's exquisite and flawless face appeared, the young man realized that it was actually her!

He wasn't so arrogant as to think that every woman would fall for him, except, of course, those who are obsessed with looks.

The "Beautiful and Affinity" effect is only effective in close contact and should lose its effect after separation. At present, Leng Hanyan's feelings for him are at most "friendly".

But how did she know my WeChat? Could it be that Jiang Ruyu told her?

Jiang Ruyu had just added him as a friend yesterday, and the two chatted about all sorts of things, but she did most of the typing, while Ling Yun only replied with a few simple words. It wasn't that he was pretending to be aloof; he was just too busy and could only reply when he had a spare moment.

"So you're the cold school beauty. What brings you to me?"

Ling Yun glanced at Qi Jingjing and, seeing that she was listening attentively to the lesson, felt relieved and started chatting with her.

Leng Hanyan didn't explain why she added him, she just silently sent a message saying that she felt a connection with him and that they could be friends, and then there was no further communication.

"Who are you chatting with?"

Qi Jingjing suddenly came over, and Ling Yun openly showed her the chat content.

"She added you on her own initiative?"

"Yeah, that's right."

"Hmph, suitable to be friends!" Qi Jingjing mimicked sarcastically, then pouted and opened her Moments. "Hidden ulterior motives, I know she can barely talk to anyone, you vixen!"

Leng Hanyan's appearance did indeed make Qi Jingjing a little jealous. Although her figure far surpassed Leng Hanyan's, what woman wouldn't want to be more beautiful?

"Damn it, how dare she seduce my man! Give it to me, I want to talk to her!"

Just as Qi Jingjing finished speaking, she was about to pick up her phone to argue with Leng Hanyan when Su Qingya sent a message to Ling Yun, interrupting Qi Jingjing's good show.

The girl could only continue listening to the lesson, while Lingyun moved to the side to see what Aunt Qingya had posted.

I'll be back tonight! (???)

This made it clear: Su Qingya was returning from Nan Yue tonight. Ling Yun replied with "(●'?'●)", and the two chatted for a while before class ended.

Zhao Yingxuan glanced at Ling Yun, who was engrossed in his phone the whole time, sighed softly, and left without asking him any more questions. She packed up her books and left.

During lunch, Qi Jingjing, Ling Yun, and Zhang Caiwei sat together. When asked if they would go to her house again that evening, Ling Yun said that her aunt had returned and was coming to see her.

Knowing that Su Qingya was very busy, and that the two of them would definitely need to spend time alone together when she returned, neither of the women said anything.

Since it was still early after dinner, Ling Yun took the rooftop key, which had become his personal key, and led the two girls to the teaching building.

Those still in the teaching building at this moment are a very small minority, and Leng Hanyan is one of them. She is now a senior, and last semester she needed to do an internship, and next semester she will be working on her graduation project. However, she did not choose to do an internship, but planned to take the postgraduate entrance examination. After applying to the school, she has been studying ever since.

Books I used to love suddenly lost their appeal after I added Lingyun as a friend today.
