1001-1010

Chapter 1001 Qinggong?

when the private pleasure boat gu ning was on moved near to the pleasure boat where the man was, she told leng shaoting to sail parallel to it.

"sir, why don't you get aboard my boat so that we can have a nice talk?" gu ning said to the man of the evil practice.

leng shaoting didn't realize that gu ning aimed to meet the man until now, and he also recognized the man when he saw him. the man was obviously covered in yin. ordinary people might not feel it, but leng shaoting could.

the man knew that gu ning came here because of him, but he willingly accepted gu ning's invitation since he was looking for her too.

"why not!?" the man said, then directly jumped to the boat where gu ning was.

many people were shocked by the scene.

"jesus, he just jumped to the boat over there!"

"is it qinggong?"

it was indeed qinggong.

people who practiced his or her inner discipline hoped to become gods or goddesses one day in the future. and without a doubt gods and goddesses could fly.

although the man hadn't finished practicing his inner discipline yet, he was good at qinggong at his level right now. however, he couldn't fly up high, just the height of two to three stories.

ordinary people had never seen qinggong with their own eyes before, so they couldn't believe that it was real.

leng shaoting understood that gu ning was going to catch the man, so he sailed the boat away in case innocent people were hurt.

"did you come here for me?" the man asked gu ning, although he already had the answer.

"yes," gu ning replied.

"how did you find me?" he asked again with curiosity.

"i smelt you." gu ning didn't bother to hide it.

the man was displeased. "who are you? what's your aim?"

"i'm simply an ordinary person, and i aim to destroy you because you're harmful," gu ning said. she didn't take herself as the saviour, but she couldn't stand aside since she already found a member of the evil practice.

she would probably be the next victim. even if she stayed away from them, they would still come to her for her magical power.

it was also possible that she was reborn for a reason, but she wasn't aware of the reason right now.

she had seen so many strange things which she didn't believe in at all during the previous incarnation, so she thought that they might be hints of what would happen to her in the future. she also sensed that she was going to have a fierce fight against the evil practice.

gu ning cared a lot about her premonitions, because they were always right. she wanted to be prepared so that she could protect herself.

"it's none of your business," the man said. his target wasn't gu ning at the beginning, but gu ning had interrupted him again and again.

"well, it indeed wasn't my business before, but now it's different because you want my magical power,�� gu ning said, then hid her magical power away, which surprised the man.

he soon figured out why he couldn't find her before, because she was able to hide her magical power!

hearing that, the man squinted with his eyes full of greed.

"you're right, i do want the magical power around your body, so you better give it to me right now," the man said, and attacked gu ning without delay.

even though the man wasn't confident that he could win in the fight against gu ning, he was left with no choice.

leng shaoting was worried about gu ning, but he knew that the man couldn't hurt her right now, so he didn't get involved in the fight and sailed the boat far away from other pleasure boats.

gu ning wouldn't hesitate to attack the man either, and she used her magical power to enhance her strength. within a short time, she got control of the situation.

the man gradually felt hard pressed to gain advantage in the fight.

because of their violent fight, the private pleasure boat was shaking heavily. luckily, they were far away from people now, and nobody could see them.

the man was furious when gu ning got the better of him. he couldn't believe that she was simply an ordinary girl.

she was covered in magical power, and unusually good at fighting, but had no smell of those who were practicing their inner discipline.

the man was confused, but it wasn't the right time for him to think further about it.

he was good at swimming, so jumped into the river without delay when he realized that it was impossible for him to win.

gu ning, however, was unwilling to let him escape like that.

she could breathe and talk in the water, so she jumped into the river after the man at once.

leng shaoting didn't know that gu ning had the help of her magical power, and got anxious the second she jumped into the river. without hesitation, he followed her.

gu ning didn't see leng shaoting jumping into the water, but heard the sound. she knew that leng shaoting was also good at swimming, but he was just a normal human being.

she was worried about his safety, but had to focus on the man at this key moment.

it was very dark under the water at night, so leng shaoting couldn't clearly see gu ning and the man, nor move with agility to reach gu ning's side.

Chapter 1002 Levels of One"s Inner Discipline

The man of the Evil Practice wasn't a normal human being after all, so he was able to see Gu Ning more clearly than Leng Shaoting. In addition, he moved faster than Leng Shaoting.

Gu Ning with the help of her Jade Eyes, could clearly see where the man was and she swam freely like a fish in the water.

When Gu Ning caught the man, she was already a long distance away from Leng Shaoting.

Leng Shaoting was a little anxious, but couldn't touch Gu Ning at all.

The man was shocked by Gu Ning's agile movements. He had thought that it would be easier for him to defeat Gu Ning in the water. So to his astonishment, things went the opposite way.

He realized that he had taken Gu Ning lightly, and that this girl was totally beyond his imagination.

The three of them had stayed in the water for a long time.

Gu Ning was worried that Leng Shaoting's life might be in danger, so she let the jiao out and gave an order. "Catch the man."

"Sure," the jiao said and attacked the man at once. Gu Ning, at the same time, swam back to Leng Shaoting.

The man was stunned the moment he saw the jiao. As a member of the Evil Practice, he was aware that ghosts and monsters really existed, but he was surprised to see the jiao appear by the girl's side within a second.

How is it possible? The man couldn't figure it out.

Gu Ning met Leng Shaoting in the water a few seconds later. Leng Shaoting wasn't relieved until he touched her again, but he was still worried about her and hugged her at once.

Gu Ning understood that Leng Shaoting was worried about her, but she had to push him up right now.

Leng Shaoting was almost out of air now, and he was worried that Gu Ning might also be out of breath, so he pulled Gu Ning while swimming upwards.

Once they were out of the water, Leng Shaoting hugged Gu Ning tightly before they were even onboard. "Ningning, are you alright?"

"Don't worry, I'm fine," Gu Ning said.

"Really?" Leng Shaoting asked her again with concern.

"Relax, I'm really fine," Gu Ning said with a smile.

"Great, great." Leng Shaoting was quite nervous.

The jiao was fighting against the man in the water, so they kept making violent waves, which pushed Leng Shaoting and Gu Ning meters away. If it went on like that, they might cause damage to other innocent people.

The problem was that the jiao was super destructive, and it was able to cause a tsunami if it used all of its force.

Therefore, Gu Ning had to get rid of Leng Shaoting right now. "Shaoting, please trust me and get back on the boat right now. I need to handle it well, or it might become uncontrollable."

"I'll go with you," Leng Shaoting said.

"No, Shaoting, there is something I can't tell you right now, but I promise I'll be fine." Gu Ning comforted Leng Shaoting.

Even though Leng Shaoting was unwilling to leave her alone, he had to agree with it. He kissed her and said, "Be careful."

"I will," Gu Ning said, then got into the water again. She swam straight towards the man and the jiao, while Leng Shaoting listened to her and got back on the pleasure boat.

…

In fact, there was no need for Gu Ning to be so worried, because the man was only at the fourth level of his inner discipline.

The fourth level belonged to the middle rank of one's inner discipline.

The levels of one's inner discipline could be divided into four ranks, and each rank consisted of three levels.

There were 12 levels in all. The first to the third level was junior rank; the fourth to the sixth level was middle rank; the seventh to the ninth level was senior rank, and the tenth to the twelfth level was the top rank.

If one could reach the twelfth level, he or she could become a god or goddess.

Nevertheless, it was super hard to do that nowadays, because the magical power was very rare.

Gu Ning read the above information from the Internet, and she wasn't sure whether it was right. Therefore, she had to get to know more details about it in real life.

People who were practicing their inner discipline were totally different from normal human beings, and they could easily beat a normal human being in a fight.

They didn't rely on physical strength after all.

Since the man was just at the fourth level, he couldn't defeat Gu Ning, let alone the jiao.

Even Gu Ning wasn't confident that she could control the jiao without her Jade Eyes.

That being the case, the jiao twisted its body around the man within minutes.

Although the jiao was greedy for the man's inner discipline, it didn't dare to swallow him before Gu Ning gave the order.

…

The man was indeed unusually good at swimming, because he wasn't affected after staying in the water for over 10 minutes.

Chapter 1003 Catch the Man

Members of the Evil Practice kept absorbing any magical power or Yin they could find.

With the help of Yin, the man was able to stay in the water for around half an hour.

"My lady, what do you want me to do next?" the jiao asked Gu Ning once she moved near.

"I need to bring him back to ask him something," Gu Ning said.

"Oh." The jiao was a little disappointed, but soon forgot about it.

Even though the man's inner discipline wasn't bad, Gu Ning's magical power was much better. Since the man was useful for Gu Ning, it wouldn't steal him.

When the man saw Gu Ning talking to the jiao, he was shocked. He knew that Gu Ning couldn't be a normal human being, but he was still shocked by her unbelievable skills.

Not only could she move freely in the water, but she could also talk with animals.

Gu Ning thought for a while, then added, "You can absorb half of his inner discipline in case he escapes."

Gu Ning understood that the jiao needed the man's inner discipline to improve its own, and she was also unwilling to kill the man herself. She had killed a lot of people before, but it wasn't a pleasant thing to do.

If the jiao absorbed half of the man's inner discipline, it would be easier for Gu Ning to control him.

"Thanks!" The jiao's eyes lit up and began to do it without delay.

The man, however, was scared, but he couldn't struggle at all.

Before long, the jiao absorbed half of the man's inner discipline, and the man became weak in an instant.

At this time, Gu Ning took out a rope and tied the man up. She put the jiao back into the telepathic eye space and pulled the man to the surface of the water.

The man couldn't talk until they were out of the water. "I know what you want to find out, but I won't tell you anything. I dare you to kill me!"

The man understood that Gu Ning aimed to destroy the Evil Practice, so it was impossible that she would set him free even if he told her what she wanted to know.

Gu Ning didn't bother to argue with the man right now, because she needed to get onto the boat as soon as possible.

Leng Shaoting focused on the surface of the water the entire time. Once Gu Ning showed up, he sailed the boat over, and stopped by her side.

"Ningning!" Leng Shaoting reached out his hand and pulled her up along with the man.

He didn't have time to pay attention to the man, but checked Gu Ning's body at once. "Ningning, are you alright?"

"I'm fine." Gu Ning smiled at him.

Leng Shaoting didn't see any injuries on Gu Ning's body, and released a deep breath. The next second, his sight fell on the man with his eyes full of hatred. If it hadn't been for the man, Gu Ning wouldn't have stayed in the cold water for so long.

The man was terrified by Leng Shaoting's hostile glare. He sensed something familiar from Leng Shaoting's body, but couldn't remember it right now.

He believed that Leng Shaoting couldn't be a normal human being either.

"Ningning, what will you do to him?" Leng Shaoting asked Gu Ning.

They couldn't let the government handle it, because it might cause unnecessary alarm. Common citizens would also be frightened if this news went abroad.

"I want to know more about those who are practicing inner discipline first, then I'll figure out a way to handle it well," Gu Ning said.

Gu Ning was a little worried that the man might tell Leng Shaoting about the jiao, because he already witnessed it.

If he really said it aloud, Gu Ning would tell Leng Shaoting how she got the jiao then.

Leng Shaoting was always respectful of Gu Ning's decisions, so he didn't ask further.

"I can help you with it, and you can go have a warm shower now, in case you catch a cold," Leng Shaoting said.

"I'm fine, and I'm still physically strong. I need to solve this problem right now," Gu Ning said. She didn't want to delay it.

"Alright." Although Leng Shaoting was worried about Gu Ning, he wouldn't stop her from doing what she wanted. He was indeed a great boyfriend who respected his girlfriend and listened to her.

Some men wouldn't just demand that their girlfriends do what they wanted without showing any respect.

"It's useless! I won't tell you anything," the man said loudly. He was doomed to death anyway.

"Really? What if I keep torturing you but don't kill you?" Gu Ning squinted at him.

"You…" The man was furious. No one was willing to suffer endless torture without death. However, the man was still reluctant to give in.

"Are you telling me or not?" Gu Ning asked in a cold tone.

The man remained silent. He was gambling that Gu Ning would kill him before she got what she wanted.

"Let me be honest with you. I'm not a patient person. if you refuse to tell me, I'll figure another way out. You know that members of the Evil Practice all ache to get what I have," Gu Ning said.

Chapter 1004 What Happens to the Man at the End

Since the man was reluctant to tell Gu Ning what she wanted to hear, Gu Ning was unwilling to waste much more time on him. As long as there were other members of the Evil Practice, she had plenty of time to attract them over.

The magical power around her body was something that members of the Evil Practice wanted most.

Leng Shaoting and the man were surprised when Gu Ning said that. Leng Shaoting was worried about her safety.

The man, however, realized that his life could be in danger now. It was true that she had what members of the Evil Practice wanted, and they would come to find her sooner or later.

Thinking of that, an idea dawned on the man. Even if he was going to die, he wouldn't die alone.

In fact, people who were practicing their inner discipline were all competitors in each other's eyes. There were also grudges among them.

The man himself had a major enemy, and the two of them had acted against each other for over a hundred years, but neither of them could defeat the other.

Since Gu Ning was able to catch him, it wouldn't be hard for her to catch his enemy. Therefore, he could seize this chance to destroy his major enemy.

"Fine, I can tell you whatever you want to know," he said.

Gu Ning actually didn't believe that he would tell her the truth, but she was willing to hear some.

"How many people are practicing their inner discipline in this world now?" she asked.

"Not many, but not a few either. About hundreds I think, but most of them are at low levels," the man said.

"Where are they now?" Gu Ning asked.

"They live in their own areas, and stay away from normal human beings. The parallel space where they are is as large as a village. Only those who reach the middle rank can come to this world, and normal human beings aren't able to go to the space where they live," the man said.

Gu Ning had read it before in a certain novel. Although she wasn't sure whether what the man said was true, it was highly possible to be the truth.

Leng Shaoting couldn't believe his ears, but he soon accepted it. Since members of the Evil Practice really existed, there should be the space where they lived too.

The man continued, "Those who are practicing their inner discipline seldom move in this world. Even if they come here, they prefer to stay in isolated mountains, because they can find magical power there. I heard that there is another male member of the Evil Practice in the mountain area of Burma. It's said that many treasure hunters were killed there, so the place is filled with Yin. Since you can smell me, it's easy for you to find him."

Hearing that, Gu Ning understood that the man was trying to use her to destroy his enemy.

She didn't mind, because the jiao could help her. She was only worried that the man just gave her a perfunctory answer.

The public jade bid in Burma would begin in half a month, so she would go to Burma as planned anyway.

"Ningning, if you're really going there, I'll go with you," Leng Shaoting said.

He knew that he couldn't change her mind, but he could at least go there with her to protect her.

"There will be a public jade bid held in Burma about half a month later. I'm going to attend it anyway. If you are free at that time, you can go with me, but if you'll be busy with your work, you don't need to go with me," Gu Ning said.

"Alright," Leng Shaoting said. He understood that Gu Ning didn't want to interrupt his work.

"Great, let's go now!" Gu Ning said.

Leng Shaoting knew that Gu Ning was going to punish the man. No matter what she would do to the man, he wouldn't get involved.

The man was an evil person, and Leng Shaoting had no sympathy for him.

"Be careful," Leng Shaoting said to Gu Ning, then went to sail the boat.

Gu Ning directly threw the man into the river, and let the jiao out to swallow him.

When she got back to Leng Shaoting's side, she said, "I just threw him into the river."

Hearing that, Leng Shaoting nodded, but said nothing.

The man was tied up before he was thrown into the river, so it was impossible for him to survive.

"Shaoting, do you think it's too cruel?" Gu Ning couldn't help asking him.

"No, he deserves it," Leng Shaoting said. "Well, I can do that for you in the future if you're going to kill someone."

If one killed too many people, he or she would be dogged by misfortune.

Although it was a superstition, Leng Shaoting still hoped that he could do it for Gu Ning.

Gu Ning smiled, but said nothing. She obviously felt touched because she understood that Leng Shaoting was doing his best to protect her, but she was unwilling to let him suffer misfortune for her either.

"Ningning, go dry your hair and clothing now, in case other people find out," Leng Shaoting said.

"Sure," Gu Ning said, then went to get the hair dryer.

They were in a private pleasure boat, and it had the same layout as their home would as was stocked with daily necessities.

Actually, there were dry clothes in Gu Ning's telepathic eye space, but she couldn't take them out right in front of Leng Shaoting.

Luckily, it was much warmer now, and Gu Ning was only wearing a thin piece of clothing, so it was easy for her to dry it.

Chapter 1005 We"re Already a Couple

"Shaoting, go dry yourself too," Gu Ning said.

"Sure, you can sail the boat now." Leng Shaoting let Gu Ning take the helm.

Before long, Leng Shaoting dried his own clothing.

Before Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting got back to the shore, the jiao was back, so Gu Ning put it back to the telepathic eye space when Leng Shaoting wasn't paying attention to her.

Although it was better for the jiao to practice its inner discipline in the river, it was running out of magical power, so it needed to absorb more magical power now.

They went ashore a while later, then went to buy new clothing in a shopping mall to make sure that Cao Wenxin and the others weren't waiting for them for too long.

It was almost 11 pm, but some stores were still open.

After putting on new clothes, they left for the bar where their friends were at once. It wasn't far away, and they arrived a few minutes later.

Once they met their friends, they began to drink and chat together.

…

At the same time, the members of the Tang family already went to bed.

Since Gu Man and Tang Yunfan were married now, Gu Man slept with him in the same bedroom.

Tang Yunfan couldn't wait a second longer to share some private time with Gu Man.

When they were back in the bedroom, Gu Man went to take a shower first.

Thinking of what was going to happen later, Gu Man felt shy and nervous.

She deliberately wasted a lot of time in the bathroom, but had to put on her sleeping gown in the end.

However, the second she saw herself in the mirror, she flushed red in an instant.

The sleeping gown she was wearing was half-transparent, and she looked quite seductive in it.

Gu Man hesitated to leave the bathroom.

Tang Yunfan wasn't dumb. When Gu Man had stayed in the bathroom for a long time, he understood that she had to be very nervous and probably a little scared. In fact, he was also nervous. They had been apart for so many years after all!

Nevertheless, he would still do what he ached to do as a man.

"Man, are you ready?" Tang Yunfan walked to the door of the bathroom.

Gu Man panicked a little when she heard Tang Yunfan's voice. "Um, yeah."

Afterwards, she opened the door slowly.

The moment Tang Yunfan saw Gu Man, he could barely move his eyes away from her body.

"Well, you can go take a shower now."

Gu Man slipped out of the bathroom.

Tang Yunfan could catch Gu Man right now, but he didn't do that, because he indeed needed a shower to be prepared.

Gu Man got in the bed without delay and covered herself with the quilt. She still hoped to avoid it, but she knew that it was unavoidable.

In addition, they were a couple now, and it was quite normal for a couple, especially a newly married couple, to have sex with each other.

Compared with Gu Man, Tang Yunfan finished the shower within a few seconds.

He directly walked out in his bathrobe.

Hearing the sound of opening the door, Gu Man got more nervous.

Tang Yunfan, however, felt amused when he saw that Gu Man had hidden herself in the quilt.

The light was very bright in the bedroom, even Tang Yunfan felt a little embarrassed, so he turned the bright light off and only left a night-light which gave off a faint light.

After that, he walked to the bed.

Hearing the footsteps coming closer, Gu Man's heart was pounding.

Tang Yunfan got in the bed, then reached out his arms to pull Gu Man over.

Gu Man trembled a little, but didn't resist it. She felt aroused when Tang Yunfan's palms covered her body.

"Man, we're already a couple now, and tonight is the first night of our marriage," Tang Yunfan said by Gu Man's ears in a low deep voice.

"I…" Gu Man didn't know what to say.

Tang Yunfan turned Gu Man's body and pressed on it, but he didn't put his entire weight on her body, in case she felt uncomfortable.

Gu Man froze and didn't dare to meet his eyes.

Without further ado, Tang Yunfan kissed her.

A passionate kiss couldn't satisfy Tang Yunfan's need, so he began to undress Gu Man.

In the beginning, Gu Man was quite reluctant to do it, but she didn't push Tang Yunfan away.

"Man, relax," Tang Yunfan said.

Gu Man also wanted to relax, but she wasn't able to do that right now.

As time went by, Gu Man gradually opened her arms and legs for her beloved man and husband.

Tang Yunfan was more than thrilled when Gu Man was ready for him.

Chapter 1006 The First Morning after Their Wedding Day

In order to distract Gu Man, Tang Yunfan kept kissing her all around her body.

Although they had been apart for 19 years, they soon became familiar with each other's body.

Tang Yunfan's bed was very good, so they didn't cause loud sounds no matter how they moved on it.

Moreover, each room of the Tang family's house had good insulation, so others couldn't hear any sounds from rooms.

The two of them enjoyed every second of that night.

…

Tang Jiakai proposed to have night snacks when they had fun till 12 am. Everyone agreed, and they left for the night-snack street together.

It was already 2 am when they finished eating night-snacks. Gu Ning's relatives all stayed in her house tonight, so it wasn't convenient for her to bring Leng Shaoting home. Therefore, she decided to stay out for a night.

Tang Jiayang and Tang Jiakai went back to the Tang family's house, while Cao Wenxin and Xin Bei went to Cao Wenxin's house, and Hao Ran and the others went to stay in the Huangdeng Hotel.

Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting went to Shengshi Hotel.

The first thing they did when they went back to the hotel was take a shower. After all, today was a long day.

"Ningning, why don't we shower together?"

Gu Ning was about to enter the bathroom and Leng Shaoting followed her.

Gu Ning felt a little shy, but didn't turn him down.

Once they took off their clothing, they began to have sex.

Normally, it took around a dozen minutes to finish a shower, but they stayed inside for nearly an hour. In addition, it didn't mean that it was the end when they finally left the bathroom, because they moved to another place to make love.

After hours of lovemaking, they only fall asleep at daybreak.

…

The next morning, Gu Man woke up at 7 am. The second she opened her eyes, she saw Tang Yunfan staring at her with a broad smile on his face. She flushed and turned her head away.

"What? Do you feel shy?" Tang Yunfan smiled.

Gu Man flushed redder, and covered her head with the quilt.

Seeing Gu Man being so shy, Tang Yunfan stopped teasing her. "Alright, have more sleep, and I'll tell the kitchen to prepare some nutritious soup for you."

They had made love countless times last night, and he knew that she had to be exhausted now.

"No." Gu Man drew her head out of the quilt. "It's late now, and we should get up."

Gu Man was unwilling to leave a bad impression on members of the Tang family.

"You need to have a good rest now. Don't worry about it, nobody will criticize you if you sleep a while longer," Tang Yunfan said.

Thinking of what had happened last night, Gu Man felt uneasy again. "I'm fine. I can get up now."

Saying that, Gu Man sat up, and Tang Yunfan didn't stop her. "You're fine? It seems I didn't work hard enough last night." He pouted like a little boy.

Gu Man was struck dumb for a second.

"Stop it!" She flushed again.

"Stop what?" Tang Yunfan pretended like he didn't understand.

Gu Man, however, ignored him, and ran to the bathroom in her sleeping gown.

Tang Yunfan laughed watching Gu Man run away from him. He hadn't laughed so happily in a long time.

Gu Man finished her shower, but Tang Yunfan stood in her way once she walked out of the bathroom. "What are you doing here?"

"I need to use the bathroom," Tang Yunfan said with an evil smile.

"Oh," Gu Man said, then avoided him while walking outside.

However, just as she moved, Tang Yunfan caught her and kissed her wildly. Gu Man was very seductive in his eyes, and he failed to control his desire.

Gu Man was surprised, but didn't struggle at all.

Tang Yunfan didn't let her go until she was almost out of breath.

"Man, you're so gorgeous," Tang Yunfan said by her ears.

Gu Man flushed red, then ran to the walk-in closet.

Tang Yunfan smiled, and walked into the bathroom.

Gu Man put on her clothing and Tang Yunfan left the bathroom at the same time, but he just covered his lower body in a towel.

He exercised a lot, so he had a good body with obvious muscles, which stunned Gu Man.

Seeing Gu Man's reaction, Tang Yunfan was satisfied. "How is it? Do you like my body?"

Gu Man turned her face away and dodged his question.

Tang Yunfan, however, was unwilling to give it up and pressed Gu Man against the closet. "Tell me, do you like it?"

"Yeah," Gu Man said. She was telling the truth.

Even though they already had sex with each other last night, she didn't see his body clearly because of the dim light. She didn't get the chance to clearly see Tang Yunfan's body until now.

"How much do you like it?" Tang Yunfan asked again.

Hearing that, Gu Man ached to escape. She liked it very much, but felt too shy to say it aloud, so she changed the topic at once. "Um, why don't you put on some clothes now? Don't catch a cold."

Saying that, she tried to push Tang Yunfan's arms away. However, it was impossible for her to push his strong arms away given her strength.

Chapter 1007 Appreciate I

Tang Yunfan, however, was unwilling to give it up and pressed Gu Man against the closet. "Tell me, do you like it?"

"Yeah," Gu Man said. She was telling the truth.

Even though they already had sex with each other last night, she didn't see his body clearly because of the dim light. So she didn't get the chance to clearly see Tang Yunfan's body until now.

"How much do you like it?" Tang Yunfan asked again.

Hearing that, Gu Man ached to escape. She liked it very much, but felt too shy to say it aloud, so she changed the topic at once. "Um, why don't you put on your clothes now? Don't catch a cold."

Saying that, she tried to push Tang Yunfan's arms away. However, it was impossible for her to push his strong arms away given her strength.

"If you don't answer my question, I won't let you out," Tang Yunfan said like a little boy.

Gu Man was amused by his childlike expression. "Of course I like it very much," she said in the end.

"Great." Tang Yunfan was satisfied. "You can appreciate it when you're free."

Gu Man felt like laughing, but said nothing.

…

After changing, the two of them went downstairs together.

It was Sunday, so the others were also just waking up. Tang Haifeng was an old man, and he didn't sleep much at night, so he was already up.

When Gu Man met the other members of the Tang family in the hall, she felt a little embarrassed because she thought that she got up too late. However, Jiang Lihua asked her with surprise, "Man, why did you get up so early?"

Although Jiang Lihua couldn't hear the sounds, she knew what they had done last night without asking.

Jiang Lihua turned to look at Tang Yunfan the next second. "Why don't you have more sleep today?"

She was blaming Tang Yunfan for not taking good care of his wife.

In fact, Jiang Lihua was really worried that Tang Yunfan couldn't take good care of Gu Man, because he had lived alone for so many years before.

"She insisted on getting up now," Tang Yunfan said and felt aggrieved.

Gu Man flushed. "Um, it's not early, and we can't sleep any longer."

Seeing that Gu Man was feeling shy, Jiang Lihua didn't talk about that topic any further, but said to Gu Man, "Man, you don't need to be so demure in our family. Nobody will judge or criticize you. We just hope that you can live a happy life."

"Thanks, I understand," Gu Man said with a smile.

After that, Gu Man went to greet Tang Haifeng.

When Tang Haifeng saw Gu Man, he also asked her why she got up so early.

Gu Man flushed red the entire time.

…

Gu Ning received Tang Yunfan's call at 9 am. He told her to come back to the Tang family's house for lunch since Gu Qing and her other relatives were leaving today.

However, Gu Ning told him that her friends would be going back to City F today too, and that she would dine with them.

Hearing that, Tang Yunfan invited her friends to share lunch together in the Tang family's house, and said that he could send them to the airport.

Gu Man who stood aside heard that and said that her friends were leaving City B today too, so Tang Yunfan invited her friends to come over as well.

After hanging up the call, Gu Ning called Hao Ran and the others to tell them to be prepared.

Hao Ran also told his mother that they would be dining together in the Tang family's house later.

At 9:30 am, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting left for the Huangdeng Hotel to fetch Chu Peihan and the others.

Chu Peihan and the others were already in the hall when they arrived, so they went to the Tang family's house together.

Mrs. Hao and her friends hadn't been to the Tang family's house before, but Hao Ran had, so he told his mother how splendid and large the Tang family's house was.

Even though they were aware that the Tang family was the richest family in City B, they were still shocked by the layout of the house.

The Tang family's house was the largest and most beautiful house that they had ever seen!

Actually, there were many people who lived in a luxurious house even though they weren't as rich as the Tang family.

It wasn't true that the richest people would live in the most luxurious houses. Instead, some of those rich people preferred to live comfortably. The Tang family's house looked a little ancient, but it was because it had been their property for generations.

Some common rich people might spend half of their wealth on a house, while some didn't care much about where they lived.

In fact, the richer the person was, the less he or she cared about material goods.

…

Mrs. Hao and her friends were envious of Gu Man because she married into a very good family, but they weren't jealous of her because Gu Man and Tang Yunfan were a perfect match. They had already fallen in love with each other many years ago after all.

When Gu Ning and the others arrived, Gu Qing and her relatives were already there.

Cao Wenxin's family and Xin Bei were also present. Cao Wenxin's parents approved of Xin Bei, so he was invited too.

They enjoyed the lunch in harmony and happiness.

Members of the Tang family hadn't been so satisfied about their life in a long time, and Gu Man along with Gu Ning brought them priceless happiness.

After lunch, they sat around the hall and chatted while drinking tea together. Half an hour later, they set off for the airport.

…

Leng Shaoting and Xin Bei would be on the same flight, so they sat in the same car. While Hao Ran and the others shared a large bus.

On the way to the airport, they all felt a little sad, because none of them wanted to leave. However, they had to leave.

Chapter 1008 Xianghe Antique

When they arrived at the airport, they went to get their flight tickets.Gu Ning already booked flight tickets for Hao Ran and her other friends, and Tang Yunfan had booked some for Mrs. Hao and Gu Man's other friends.

They would leave on the same flight.

…

Hao Ran and the others would leave at 2:10 pm, while Leng Shaoting and Xin Bei would leave at 2:40 pm.

That being the case, Hao Ran and the others went into the lounge after taking the tickets, while Leng Shaoting and Xin Bei went to sit in a restaurant for a while.

Leng Shaoting and Xin Bei didn't leave Gu Ning and Cao Wenxin until 1:50 pm. They needed to get into the lounge half an hour before the departure time.

When it was time for them to say good-bye to each other, they all wished that time could stop at this moment.

…

"Ningning, where are you going next?" Cao Wenxin asked Gu Ning when Leng Shaoting and Xin Bei were gone.

"I'm going to the antique street. How about you?" Gu Ning said.

Gu Ning planned to send some real antiques to Xiangyun Antique-store.

Du Laifeng told her that he had sold several real antiques a few days ago.

Before she left for Burma, she also needed to send some real antiques to the Xiangyun Antique-store in the capital.

The branch of Xiangyun Antique-store in the capital was a famous store with a long history, so it was more popular than that in City B.

Both of them were running out of real antiques, so Gu Ning needed to replenish the stocks.

"Um, I have nothing else to do, so I'll go with you," Cao Wenxin said.

"Sure!" Gu Ning said, then they went to the antique street together.

…

On their way there, Cao Wenxin played on her phone reading the news.

When she read a piece of the latest news, she was astonished and exclaimed, "Jesus, there is an antique store at the antique street, which had a sudden collapse this morning and broke many real antiques. The owner of it suffers a loss of thirty million yuan!"

Hearing that, Gu Ning cocked her eyebrow. "What's its name?"

"Xianghe Antique,"Cao Wenxin said.

Gu Ning had heard of it from Du Laifeng's mouth, and he told her that the store always looked creepy because it collected too many ancient objects from graves.

An idea dawned on Gu Ning. She thought that the antique store might be filled with Yin since the owner had collected too many ancient objects from graves, which could be the cause of the collapse.

It was possible, but there also could be another reason.

Anyway, Gu Ning decided to have a look herself. She was curious about the sources of those ancient objects too.

"Oh, look at this comment. Someone says that the store collapsed because it's full of too much Yin."

Cao Wenxin was amused by the above comment, because she didn't believe in Yin at all.

Gu Ning, however, was struck dumb for a second. She held the same idea, and thought that it was highly possible now.

"There is another comment saying that those real antiques Xianghe Antique just bought are harmful to human bodies!"

Cao Wenxin couldn't believe her eyes, although it actually might be the truth.

"Well, more people believe that the building is too old, and some think that it might have been done by the owner's enemies."

When they had almost reached the antique street, Gu Ning's and Cao Wenxin's phones rang at the same time. They didn't bother to check the caller's name, because they knew that it must be a call from Leng Shaoting and Xin Bei.

Gu Ning was driving, so she put on her blue-tooth earphones.

Leng Shaoting and Xin Bei told Gu Ning and Cao Wenxin that they were already in the plane. They would fly over to visit them again during the next vacation. Then they chatted for a short while, and hung up.

…

Leng Shaoting and Xin Bei sat in the second row on the left side of the first class.

Leng Shaoting sat by the window, while Xin Bei sat in the aisle seat.

Both of them were tall, handsome young men, so they attracted a lot of attention from the stewardesses once they were aboard.

They were already used to it, and ignored all of the stewardesses.

Those stewardesses were heart-broken. They all wished to find a rich, handsome young boyfriend like them, and they wondered what kind of woman could have them.

What they didn't know was that they actually felt quite lucky to have their girlfriend.

Neither Leng Shaoting nor Xin Bei thought that women should love them just because of their outstanding appearances. On the contrary, they didn't enjoy the feeling when every woman was paying attention to them. They were both loyal to their girlfriends, and wouldn't bother to flirt with other females.

Although those stewardesses couldn't attract their attention, they still tried, but were doomed to fail.

…

Gu Ning stopped the car at the parking lot of the antique street, then told Cao Wenxin to buy two bottles of water.

Afterwards, she pretended to pick up something from the trunk, but actually took out a wooden box with around 10 pieces of real antiques inside from the telepathic eye space.

When Cao Wenxin came back, she saw the wooden box in Gu Ning's hands. "Ningning, where did you get so many real antiques?" she asked with curiosity.

Chapter 1009 The Batch of Ancient Objects

"I found them by accident," Gu Ning said. "Come on, let's go to Xiangyun Antique-store now."

She couldn't tell Cao Wenxin that she had dug ancient graves or stolen sunken treasure. Even though she knew that Cao Wenxin would keep it secret, it was better if fewer people were aware of it.

Grave-digging was illegal after all.

The government might arrest those who stole valuable ancient objects from graves.

Gu Ning wasn't worried that the government would take her real antiques away because she had the support of the Leng family and the Tang family now.

Nobody was willing to act against her.

"Really? You're so lucky!" Cao Wenxin was surprised.

Gu Ning smiled, but said nothing.

…

After the opening ceremony of Xiangyun Antique-store, most of the owners of the antique stores on this street got to know Gu Ning, so they all greeted her kindly when she appeared.

"Nice to see you, Miss Gu!"

"Nice to meet you too," Gu Ning greeted them politely as well.

News of the wedding held by the Tang family hadn't gone abroad yet, so not many people were aware that she was Tang Haifeng's biological granddaughter.

If they had known Gu Ning's family background, they would have been shocked.

…

Duji Antiques could barely stay afloat now, and Du Laifeng's step-mother, Li Fengxia, couldn't be more jealous of Xiangyun Antique-store. However, she didn't dare to do anything about it since Gu Ning was the boss of Xiangyun Antique-store.

"How could Du Laifeng be so lucky?" Li Fengxia muttered to herself. "If the girl had bought my store, I could have made a lot of money!"

Li Fengxia only cared about money.

At this moment, she suddenly saw Gu Ning walking by, which scared her. She thought that Gu Ning had heard what she just said, and panicked because of her guilty conscience.

Gu Ning had indeed heard what she just said, but didn't bother to pay attention to her at all.

Li Fengxia released a long breath when Gu Ning ignored her and walked away.

Xiangyun Antique-store was only 10 meters away from Duji Antiques, so Gu Ning soon arrived at her destination. There were a few customers in Xiangyun Antique-store when she walked inside.

"Hi, boss!" Du Laifeng welcomed Gu Ning at once.

Those customers all looked over when they heard Du Laifeng greeting Gu Ning.

"Hi, Miss Gu!" they said to Gu Ning.

"Hi, please enjoy yourselves," Gu Ning said with a smile.

"Sure," they said.

At the beginning, they just came here to look around, but now felt like buying something after meeting Gu Ning.

"I came here with something," Gu Ning said.

She made a hand gesture and told Du Laifeng to follow her up to the office. Du Laifeng was a little confused, but followed Gu Ning without delay.

He understood that Gu Ning might have brought some real antiques, but he was still shocked when he saw them with his own eyes.

Du Laifeng was suspicious of the sources of these ancient objects, but didn't ask further about it.

Du Laifeng had attended the wedding held by the Tang family yesterday, so he knew that Gu Ning was a member of the Tang family.

He believed that she was able to handle it well even if she got those antiques illegally.

"Oh, I heard something terrible just happened to Xianghe Antique. Do you know the details?" Gu Ning asked all of a sudden.

"I went to see it this morning, and I know that the batch of ancient objects is real after the expert's appraisal. It's said that they're covered in Yin, which caused the collapse, but more people believe that the building was just too old," Du Laifeng said.

It was hard for ordinary people to believe in Yin. Even Du Laifeng held doubts.

Hearing that, Gu Ning was more sure that the collapse of Xianghe Antique had something to do with that batch of ancient objects, but she still needed to find out more about it. Therefore, she left the wooden box to Du Laifeng, then walked out with Cao Wenxin.

Xianghe Antique was located farther along the antique street, so they needed to walk for a while.

On the way, many people who recognized Gu Ning greeted her politely and Gu Ning also smiled at them.

In fact, some of them were quite jealous of Xiangyun Antique-store, but none of them dared to annoy Gu Ning.

Since they couldn't mess with her, they decided that they should maintain a good relationship with her.

Chapter 1010 Zhu Yuanzhen and Jiang Zezheng

Once they neared Xianghe Antique, Gu Ning felt a strong sense of Yin.The closer she was to the store, the stronger the Yin was. When she finally stood in front of the building, the concentration of Yin reached the highest point.

Xianghe Antique was an old building of two floors. It was indeed very old, but wasn't old enough to collapse right now. The second Gu Ning sensed the Yin she knew that it wasn't the building's problem.

This place was already surrounded by yellow warning lines, and the owner of Xianghe Antique was in the nearby police station.

Gu Ning used her Jade Eyes and found that the place was completely covered in Yin. If an ordinary person walked near, he or she might feel unusually cold and uncomfortable.

Thanks to the yellow warning lines, nobody would walk near here.

Gu Ning was able to deal with the Yin here, but she couldn't do it in the day, so she had to come back again at night.

…

Afterwards, Gu Ning left with Cao Wenxin.

They went back to the Tang family's house together.

However, Cao Wenxin received Zhu Yuanzhen's call on the way home and Zhu Yuanzhen told her that Jiang Zezheng was just hit by a car because he dashed out to rescue a kid in the middle of the road. He had been admitted to the Military General Hospital.

Zhu Yuanzhen was crying in fear on the phone, so she didn't tell Cao Wenxin many details. Cao Wenxin was also scared, so they immediately went straight to the Military General Hospital.

Gu Ning wouldn't sit on her hands if a terrible accident happened to her friend. Even though Jiang Zezheng was simply an acquaintance of hers, he was Cao Wenxin's friend after all.

Gu Ning sped up and quickly drove to the Military General Hospital.

Twenty minutes later, Gu Ning and Cao Wenxin arrived. Gao Chengyun and the others were also in Jiang Zezheng's ward.

Jiang Zezheng's face was a little pale, and his whole right arm along with his right foot were wrapped in bandages, but he was still conscious and seemed to be fine.

"Jiang Zezheng, how are you right now?" Cao Wenxin asked him with concern.

Jiang Zezheng smiled and said, "I'm fine. Don't worry. I just have some abrasions on my arm and twisted my foot."

Jiang Zezheng breathed normally, which proved that he was indeed fine.

"Seriously? You don't think you're badly injured?" Zhu Yuanzhen glared at him with her red eyes that were swollen after crying for a long time.

Jiang Zezheng closed his mouth at once.

Zhu Yuanzhen cared too much about him, so she was quite nervous and anxious especially because she witnessed the scene. Most importantly, Zhu Yuanzhen liked Jiang Zezheng.

Even if he just had some abrasions on his arm and twisted his foot, she thought that they were serious injuries.

Jiang Zezheng understood Zhu Yuanzhen's feelings towards him, so he didn't argue with her in case she got angrier.

In fact, Jiang Zezheng had a good impression of Zhu Yuanzhen, but Cao Wenxin had always been his love, so he directly ignored Zhu Yuanzhen. However, he understood it was impossible for him to be Cao Wenxin's boyfriend now, so he chose to move on and felt touched by Zhu Yuanzhen's care towards him.

It seemed a little unfair, because he turned to Zhu Yuanzhen after knowing that Cao Wenxin became another man's girlfriend, and Zhu Yuanzhen seemed to be a back-up.

Jiang Zezheng felt a little guilty, but Zhu Yuanzhen didn't mind it at all, because Cao Wenxin and him were just friends the entire time.

She wouldn't force Jiang Zezheng to accept her even if she liked him very much. It was much more painful to be with someone who didn't love you than to keep a distance from him. They couldn't be friends if they broke up in the future.

…

Gu Ning took out a porcelain bottle and handed it to Zhu Yuanzhen. "Apply this medicine to his injuries, and he'll be fine."

"Really?"

Zhu Yuanzhen's eyes lit up at once.

"Um, his injuries are wrapped. Can I apply the medicine to his injuries right now?" Zhu Yuanzhen asked worriedly. Zhu Yuanzhen was even more worried about Jiang Zezheng than he was.

"Of course you can," Gu Ning said.

"Thanks!" Zhu Yuanzhen took the bottle at once, then unwrapped the bandages for Jiang Zezheng.

Jiang Zezheng also trusted Gu Ning and thanked her with sincerity, "Miss Gu, thank you so much."

"You're welcome," Gu Ning said.

Zhu Yuanzhen unwrapped the bandages around Jiang Zezheng's arm and foot with great care, in case he felt the pain.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhen being so careful, Jiang Zezheng had mixed emotions.

When Zhu Yuanzhen saw his injuries in the open, she felt like crying and had tears in her eyes, but in case the tears blocked her sight, she fought them back as she applied medicine to the injuries.

Jiang Zezheng's heart ached for her.

Gu Ning glanced at Cao Wenxin, then walked out. Cao Wenxin also gave Gao Chengyun and An Ran a look, then they left together.

Jiang Zezheng understood what they were doing, but said nothing.

"It seems like they're in love!" An Ran said once they were outside.

It wasn't a bad thing if they could be a couple.

"Well, I guess it depends on Jiang Zezheng," Cao Wenxin said. It wasn't a secret that Zhu Yuanzhen liked Jiang Zezheng after all.

…

Jiang Zezheng felt the comfortable coldness when Zhu Yuanzhen applied Gu Ning's medicine to his injuries, which surprised him.

"Thanks," Jiang Zezheng thanked Zhu Yuanzhen when it was done.
