"Why are you back again? In and out all the time," Susu looked at Zhao Yan with a puzzled expression.
"Men, they just like going in and out of things," Zhao Yan smirked, his hand casually in his pocket.
Susu rolled her eyes, "Watch my lips..."
"I did, visually it seems to fit with my size, but it's better to measure it for real. After all, visual estimates can be inaccurate," Zhao Yan interrupted her seriously.
Blushing, Susu angrily said, "What I wanted to say was, watch my lips, gewen off!"
"If you had said that earlier, I would have listened. I'm obedient," Zhao Yan said, and then ran upstairs.
He was going to get some props to entertain the two idiots who were coming to the bureau for mediation tomorrow.
Zhao Yan spent 4 points to buy two Truth Charms. These were disposable items that lasted only ten minutes, so they were relatively cheap.
Once used, no matter what you ask, the other person will only speak the truth.
After finishing his shopping, he didn't hurry back. After all, compared to the cold prison cell, he preferred the warmth of a girl.
"You always stay in the club, don't you go out?" Zhao Yan boldly approached Susu.
Susu held a glass of juice in her hand, her rosy lips biting the straw, and she turned away, ignoring him.
Zhao Yan approached again, "Give me a sip."
"You're annoying," Susu glared at him, shaking the juice in her hand, "I've already drunk from it, big brother."
"I don't mind," Zhao Yan's eyes were full of tolerance.
Susu bit her silver teeth, "I mind you."
After saying that, she left him with a figure full of imagination and disappeared after a few steps.
"Tsk, quite spirited," Zhao Yan smacked his lips.
A group of people immediately gathered around.
"Brother, how did you do it? How can you tease Manager Susu like that and not get beaten?"
"Yeah, there were people who wanted to hit on her before, but they couldn't even talk in front of her."
"Brother, teach us some tricks..."
Everyone spoke one after another, looking at Zhao Yan with eyes full of admiration, as if looking at an idol.
"Teaching tricks is possible, but I don't have time today. I just spent 4 points, and I have to earn them back quickly," Zhao Yan said helplessly.
The corners of everyone's mouths twitched, and no one spoke.
Zhao Yan sneered, "Tsk, I'm leaving."
His expression clearly said: A bunch of poor losers who are reluctant to spend any points and still want to learn how to pick up girls?
This moment pierced the fragile hearts of everyone present.
"Wait!" someone shouted and then looked around, "If everyone wants to hear, let's split the bill."
"Okay, let's split it. There are so many people here, each person will only have to pay a few points,"
"Call a staff member to settle the bill."
Everyone agreed to split the bill, and then they called over a passing staff member. According to the 4-point limit, they evenly distributed the payment to Zhao Yan's account.
"Thanks, everyone. I'm leaving."
After receiving the points, Zhao Yan was ready to leave.
"Wait! You haven't shared the secret yet. We spent 4 points to buy loneliness!"
"That's right, you can't leave without telling us."
"Hurry up, we don't want to waste our points."
The crowd stopped Zhao Yan from leaving.
Zhao Yan smiled and said, "Didn't I already teach you my secret? The key to picking up girls is to have brains. Do you think you guys have brains?"
The crowd remained silent.
They were scammed out of 4 points.
Clearly, they were foolish.
"Alright, I'm leaving. Reflect on your actions. The points you spent didn't buy you companionship, but rather a lesson," Zhao Yan waved his hand, preparing to bid farewell.
"You stop right there! If I had brains, why would I buy your experience?" a burly man stopped Zhao Yan and said confidently.
In an instant, Zhao Yan was dumbfounded ⊙_⊙.
He was rendered speechless by the man's words.
"Yeah, give us our points back!"
"Hurry up, or you'll be in trouble today."
"Damn it, refund our money!"
Zhao Yan remained calm and chuckled, "Right now, Su Su doesn't mind me. If I manage to win her over one day, will you regret today?"
The crowd's expressions changed upon hearing his words.
Zhao Yan's bluff with Su Su's influence was actually effective.
"Isn't that enough? Move aside, I'm going to the entertainment district to guide some work," Zhao Yan pushed past the people blocking his path and leisurely walked towards the elevator.
He had already chewed on the soft rice that hadn't even reached his mouth.
"Damn it, he's just relying on borrowed power. What's the difference between him and a freeloader?" someone sarcastically remarked.
Zhao Yan arrived on the fourth floor and found a club. After entering, he lounged on the sofa and said, "Someone, give me a massage."
While he enjoyed the massage from a girl, the on-duty police officer at Changning Police Department was on the verge of going crazy.
Zhao Yan had suddenly disappeared from the detention room, and he quickly checked the surveillance footage. But after watching the footage, he became even more terrified.
A living person vanished in an instant.
"Hello, 110? I want to report a crime," the trembling police officer who had spoken to Zhao Yan earlier made the call.
He always remembered to seek help from the police when faced with difficulties.
"Hello, please tell me your location."
"Changning Police Department..." the on-duty police officer began to speak but suddenly realized what he was about to say and couldn't continue.
The person on the other end of the call remained silent.
"............"
The sudden silence in the air was the most frightening.
After a while, the person on the other end of the call finally said, "Well, why don't you file a report yourself, comrade?"
"Sorry," the on-duty police officer hung up the phone, and as he watched the surveillance footage, he became increasingly flustered. "Is this a ghost?"
He recited the core values in his mind while hastily running to find his colleague.
In the club, after Zhao Yan finished enjoying the massage, he couldn't find Su Su and felt bored.
He returned to the detention room, intending to rest.
But just as he was about to close his eyes, he heard hurried footsteps.
"San'er, why don't you believe it? That person really vanished in an instant. Come with me and see for yourself. Look, look, is there someone inside?" the on-duty police officer dragged another policeman along, pointing at Zhao Yan's detention room and bombarding him with questions.
The colleague said, "Isn't that a person?"
"Where...?" The on-duty police officer instinctively turned around and saw Zhao Yan sitting expressionless on the bed, startling him. "Holy shit!"
"Comrades, what's the matter? Why are you disturbing my sleep?" Zhao Yan lazily remarked.
The on-duty police officer looked at him in astonishment. "How did you end up here? I clearly saw you on the surveillance camera, and in the blink of an eye, you disappeared."
"I disappeared in the blink of an eye, and then I reappeared," Zhao Yan shrugged, lying on the bed with his back facing them.
His colleague pulled the on-duty police officer away. "Alright, alright, don't disturb his sleep in the middle of the night. It must be a problem with the surveillance. Stop overthinking."
"It shouldn't be, it shouldn't be..." The on-duty police officer glanced back several times while leaving, murmuring to himself.
On the bed, Zhao Yan let out a sigh of relief. He had forgotten that there was surveillance in the detention room, and he paid the price for his lack of life experience.
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
