Chapter 531: All Men Are the Same
"Uh..." Jiang Xinghai was at a loss for words.
Honestly, his old self would have gone for it without a second thought.
’But things are different now. She just recovered from her injuries. Can her body handle it?’
MWAH!
Yu Li’s red lips suddenly pressed against Jiang Xinghai’s.
In that instant, Jiang Xinghai closed his eyes, swept her into his arms, and carried her toward the bedroom.
Since things had come to this, it would be pointless for him to keep making excuses.
Besides, his cultivation was currently at the late stage of the Celestial Destiny Realm. If he could absorb her Primordial Yin Power, he could very well reach the state of Great Perfection.
Furthermore, with the aid of a Skill from the *Dragon Locking Secret Technique*, he could even bring her certain benefits.
Time passed.
Jiang Xinghai’s heart filled with pleasure.
The experience was almost comparable to being with Shen Lingxue and her Thousand Derivation Spiritual Body.
He could clearly feel his cultivation level steadily rising.
Suddenly, Yu Li’s body trembled, and her face grew much paler.
’Was it... too much for her after all?’ Jiang Xinghai was suddenly jolted back to his senses.
Seeing Jiang Xinghai’s remorseful expression, Yu Li smiled and shook her head. "It’s fine. I’m just not strong enough. I didn’t realize my stamina was still so poor, even though I thought I was almost completely better."
"It’s all my fault."
Hearing this, Jiang Xinghai grew anxious. "I knew your body hadn’t fully recovered, and yet I still..."
"Don’t talk. Kiss... me!"
...
「The next morning.」
Jiang Xinghai left the Yu Family residence and got in his car, preparing to head to the Yan Family’s.
Over an hour of "aerobic exercise" had allowed him to accumulate a large amount of Primordial Yin Power.
However, he deliberately suppressed the advancement of his cultivation, not stepping directly into the Great Perfection of the late-stage Celestial Destiny Realm.
He knew that rushing into this state would be reckless. He needed to solidify his foundation to remain undefeated against others at the same level.
"Did you sleep well last night?"
Suddenly, just as Jiang Xinghai was about to get into his Land Rover, Zhu Yan’s voice came from the red Cayenne parked beside it.
"You... you slept here?" Jiang Xinghai was surprised; he hadn’t noticed Zhu Yan’s presence at all.
"I’m not very comfortable staying in other people’s homes, so I just rested in my car. I was waiting to go with you to the Zhao Family at Piaomiao Mountain Villa," Zhu Yan said, gazing at Jiang Xinghai from her car window.
Jiang Xinghai said, a bit sheepishly, "I’m heading to the Yan Family first. When I get back, I’ll pick up Uncle Yu and we can go together."
"Did you sleep well last night?" Zhu Yan repeated her earlier question, studying Jiang Xinghai’s expression with keen interest.
"It was fine." Jiang Xinghai started the engine, gave a wave, and drove off.
’How could he possibly explain?’
Last night, Yu Li’s parents, Qin Shuang, and Zhu Yan all knew he had ended up with Yu Li.
He could only offer a weak smile in response to Zhu Yan’s suggestive question.
’After all, he couldn’t just say that Yu Li had ’healed’ him and it felt great, could he?’
’This man... he really is extraordinary.’
From the moment she picked Jiang Xinghai up at the airport last night to now, her perception of him had changed several times.
’Why was this man, a master of both Medical Martial Arts, so popular with women?’
It had gotten to the point where even she, who’d had a failed marriage and was determined never to get involved with another man, was developing inexplicable feelings for Jiang Xinghai.
To unravel this mystery, she had initially considered asking Zhong Yunman about him.
But in the end, she had asked Lao Deng in Yun Province instead.
From Lao Deng’s explanation, she learned that this man was incredibly ambitious and destined for great things.
She also learned that, due to the nature of his Cultivation Skill, he needed female companionship to advance.
This explained why Jiang Xinghai seemed to flirt with every woman he met.
’Even so, all men are the same. He’s not worth my time.’
Zhu Yan quickly dismissed the budding thought of getting to know Jiang Xinghai better. She got out of her car and walked into the Yu Family’s house.
The Yu Family guards recognized Zhu Yan, of course, and let her pass without issue.
Inside the main hall, Qin Shuang was just about to leave for the AM branch office. The branch was set to have its grand opening in three days.
"Miss Zhu, are you looking for Divine Doctor Jiang? He and my cousin... well, please, come in," Qin Shuang said with a welcoming smile.
"Divine Doctor Jiang already left. I was just hoping to use your restroom," Zhu Yan replied with a faint smile.
"Oh, he left."
A flicker of disappointment initially crossed Qin Shuang’s eyes, but when she heard that Jiang Xinghai was gone, it was replaced by a hint of secret delight.
Then, she got in her car and left for work.
’This woman has feelings for Jiang Xinghai, too?’
Zhu Yan shook her head with a sigh. As she entered the living room, she saw Yu Li coming down the stairs in a pure white nightgown.
"Miss Zhu, have you had breakfast? Please, join me. Divine Doctor Jiang should be back in a little while."
Yu Li had undergone a drastic transformation. Her aura was otherworldly and transcendent, as if she were a celestial maiden.
Even Zhu Yan, a woman whose beauty Jiang Xinghai himself had rated a 9.5, was stunned by the sight.
"Oh my, I came downstairs still in my nightgown? I’m so sorry, I’ll go change right away." Feeling Zhu Yan’s intense gaze, Yu Li’s cheeks flushed a pretty pink.
"Dare I ask, Miss Yu... did you fall asleep in Divine Doctor Jiang’s arms last night?" Zhu Yan asked, the words leaving her lips as if by some strange compulsion.
