Chapter 25

"Truly, I have no idea..." Ding Hao was genuinely confused; there were too many things he couldn't understand. Why did the magical space actually exist? Why did the old immortal seek his help instead of doing it himself? And what was the connection between this ring and the incident over a decade ago...

Too many questions surrounded Ding Hao. The only thing he could roughly confirm was that he had become stronger. And the girl he saved, Chen Tao, was not simple.

Ding Hao refused to speak, and Chen Fang didn't press further. After putting away the items she had brought, she sat down with a large plate of snacks and chatted idly with Ding Hao. She would occasionally glance at his handsome face and sneak peeks at his crotch... thinking to herself, "If anyone ruins my good time tonight, I'll fight them to the death. If that fatso Zhou Fuquan dares to come again, I'll chop him with a kitchen knife."

Chen Fang's thoughts made her look at Ding Hao with a lecherous gaze, making him very uncomfortable. Sigh, he should have gone to the tea plantation with Xia Lin. Although the smell of tea processing was unpleasant, the small shop was also filled with a strong scent. Chen Fang had dressed up carefully for the market, and now, sitting close to Ding Hao, she leaned forward, her ample chest almost entirely exposed to him.

Ding Hao had seen similar situations in public before, but usually, the person would pull their clothes up to cover themselves. However, Chen Fang was doing this on purpose, not only not covering herself but also rubbing her thigh, clad in stockings, against Ding Hao from time to time, and occasionally giving him a lascivious smile.

If it weren't for the frequent visitors to the shop during the day and the fact that someone had seen her and Ding Hao return from the district, she would have closed the shop and gone to bed with him long ago.

"Xiao Dingzi, remember, you're having dinner with me tonight."

"Okay." Ding Hao didn't mind. Going home meant cooking, and it would be cold and lonely. As for Chen Fang's strong scent, he had long gotten used to it. At worst, he would just endure it, and besides, Chen Fang was very attractive, with a curvaceous figure. As an orphan, he wasn't at a disadvantage! Zhou Fuquan and Liu Fatso might want to have Chen Fang, but they didn't have the qualifications!

Seeing Ding Hao agree, Chen Fang was even happier and looked forward to the night even more. If there were a device to measure someone's level of arousal, a normal woman would be 100, but Chen Fang was definitely at 100,000! However, the good times didn't last long.

Just as the sun was about to set and Chen Fang had finished preparing dinner, Yang Xinmin arrived in his car and immediately pulled Ding Hao into it. It turned out that the matter Ding Hao had entrusted to him in the morning was already resolved. He had come to pick up Ding Hao to see the house!

Chen Fang's eyes were blazing with anger, but she couldn't say anything. She didn't know if Ding Hao and Yang Xinmin had already made any prior arrangements. Besides, they weren't related, and if she forced Ding Hao to stay, it would cause gossip.

Chen Fang wasn't afraid of gossip, but if Ding Hao couldn't bear the gossip and thus distanced himself from her, it would be a loss. So she could only watch as Yang Xinmin's police car disappeared from view, cursing his ancestors to the nth degree!

Yang Xinmin was indeed in a hurry. If it weren't for the trouble caused by Liu Fatso in the afternoon, he might have waited until the next day. But seeing how fiercely Ding Hao had hit Liu Fatso with a brick, he feared being implicated and quickly called his brother, who did business in the city, to find a suitable house. After a quick inspection, he and his brother, Yang Jemin, discussed how to help Ding Hao hide his identity.

Yungang No. 2 Middle School was only a few miles from Ding Hao's village, and it took just half an hour to make the round trip. Yang Xinmin, eager to show his loyalty and prove how much he valued Ding Hao's request, quickly picked up Ding Hao to see the house near the school. Ding Hao, unlike Chen Fang, wasn't in a hurry and agreed to go with him.

"This is my brother, Yang Jemin, and this is Brother Ding. Brother Ding, what do you think of this house?" Yang Xinmin directly led Ding Hao into the house.

Ding Hao didn't know how long he would stay in Yungang. He had just mentioned it casually in the morning, but he didn't expect Yang Xinmin to have it all arranged so quickly. The house was on the fifth floor, a one-bedroom apartment with all the furniture. Ding Hao had no complaints.

"Brother Ding, this area is where the teachers of No. 2 Middle School live. I've already paid a year's rent, so you can rest assured and stay here!" Yang Jemin, who did construction in Yungang, had often benefited from his brother's connections. When he saw his brother in a hurry to ask for a rental, he learned that Ding Hao had a powerful background and immediately took action. This house was newly renovated and had been left vacant for half a year due to some issues with the new occupants.

"Thank you, Chief Yang, thank you, Brother Yang. How much is the rent? Should I pay monthly?"

"Stay here, stay here!" Yang Xinmin wouldn't accept Ding Hao's rent. To him, Ding Hao was like a god, and winning his favor was enough. Besides, as a police chief and a construction businessman, they certainly didn't lack money.

"That's not right..."

"Look at you, being so formal with us. Oh, right, you said you have a friend coming to study, right? It wouldn't be convenient for him to enter the school. My brother and I discussed it and found a suitable identity for you. You'll work as a technician in his company. Of course, you won't actually work there; it's just a nominal position. They have a project at the school, so it will be convenient for you to enter and exit. They'll pay you 2,000 yuan a month. What do you think?"

"That's not good. I won't do anything, so I shouldn't take the salary." Ding Hao was delighted. No rent and a salary? It was like they were inviting him to stay!

"Brother Ding, to be honest, we're doing quite well in Yungang. You're still a student, and you need money for expenses, right? If you have no objections to this arrangement, it's settled. Dinner is on me tonight!"

"..."

"Alright, alright, it's settled. Here are the keys! Let's go eat, and I'll take you back here tonight. Tomorrow, Jemin will bring you the documents."

Yang Xinmin insisted, and Ding Hao had no choice but to agree. The house was indeed nice, and Yang Xinmin, being considerate, had arranged a good identity for him. With the documents, he could enter and exit No. 2 Middle School freely.

The dinner place was much fancier than the town's. Although Ding Hao had grown up in Qianjiang and had tasted many good things, those memories were a bit hazy. This high-end restaurant was a bit overwhelming, but the Yang brothers were skilled at flattery, calling him "Brother Ding" and making him very happy.

After a satisfying meal, Yang Jemin suggested going for a massage, but Ding Hao refused again. He thought it would be better for Yang Xinmin to go back to Chen Fang. Of course, he wouldn't really do that, as Chen Fang had a family, and he was still a student.

He was afraid Yang Xinmin would laugh at him. Although Chen Fang was very attractive, a man shouldn't be too weak. Since he had only been out for half a day and refused the massage, he decided to go back to the rented place to sleep and rest, ready to enter the magical space and level up.

Yang Xinmin didn't force Ding Hao, knowing that he was a young man, unlike them, who lacked women and found it hard to stay fresh. So he sent Ding Hao to the ground floor and went to the massage parlor with his brother.

Ding Hao's place was quiet at night. No. 2 Middle School was on the outskirts of the city, and the area was relatively isolated. It was summer, and most of the residents were young teachers, so the building was mostly quiet. Ding Hao's room was on the top floor, the westernmost unit. He fumbled for the keys and opened the door but couldn't find the light switch.

Seeing a light from the western window, he decided to open the curtains to see if he could find it. But as soon as he pulled the curtains, he couldn't move his feet. In the building to the west, a woman was lying naked on the bed, the room lit.

The buildings were only about five to six meters apart, with a small alley below. Wow, such fair skin! And such a full chest! Who was that?

Ding Hao shook his head and rubbed his eyes. Wasn't that Teacher Zeng Ya? Didn't she go to the tea plantation? How could she be back in the city so quickly? And to be staying in the building next to his? This was too much of a coincidence! Ding Hao gave up on finding the light switch and slowly pulled the curtains, leaving a small gap. He then moved a stool to the window and sat down.

Yes, Ding Hao was prepared for a long watch. In the cave, he had almost been seduced by this female teacher, and now he wanted to get his money's worth!

Ding Hao held his breath, hands on the window, eyes fixed on the room opposite. Clearly, Zeng Ya was very bold and natural. She had been at the school for over a year, and the room opposite had always been empty, with no lights on at night.

It was summer, and many out-of-town teachers had returned home, making the dormitory building even quieter. Since Zeng Ya lived on the top floor, she felt free to lie naked on the bed.

She enjoyed the pose, remembering the young boy she had seen in the cave, who had slept soundly naked. She wondered if she could sleep like that. It was summer, but would she catch a cold without a blanket?

Oh, her legs were so sore! She had walked for miles that day. Xia Lin was such a good walker, and Ding Hao had run away at the last minute! If he hadn't, they wouldn't have been so tired. Zeng Ya rubbed her thighs and thought of Ding Hao again. That damn Ding Hao! She cursed, but her right hand reached for her phone.
