Chapter 70

Think!

Ye Qiu shouted in his heart.

Imagine, any man in the world, as long as he is physically normal, who wouldn't want to take a bath with a beauty like Lin Jingzhi?

However, Ye Qiu was a bit shy. Just as he was hesitating, Lin Jingzhi had already closed the bathroom door.

Soon, the sound of running water came from the bathroom, indicating that Lin Jingzhi had started to bathe.

Although she had issued the invitation, Ye Qiu, who had never experienced such a situation, was too embarrassed to enter and could only wait in the room.

One side of the bathroom was fitted with a large piece of glass. From the outside, one couldn't see directly inside, but a vaguely defined, well-proportioned silhouette could be seen reflected on the glass.

She started to take off her clothes, started to tie up her hair, started to wash her face, and started to scrub…

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, every move she made was slow, like a slow-motion scene in a movie, making it hard to look away.

Gulp.

Ye Qiu swallowed, his breathing gradually becoming heavy, and a strange image began to form in his mind.

Although Ye Qiu was trying hard to control his evil thoughts, they kept surging like waves, making his face increasingly red and his heart beating faster and faster.

At the same time, he became more and more nervous.

Am I really going to do it with Lin Jie tonight?

They say a man's first time lasts no more than three seconds. Will I be the same?

Will Lin Jie look down on me?

While Ye Qiu was lost in thought, the water in the bathroom stopped. After two minutes, Lin Jingzhi walked out, leaning against the wall.

In that moment, Ye Qiu's eyes widened.

Lin Jingzhi was wrapped in a white towel, her exposed skin as smooth as porcelain, emitting a lustrous white glow that was almost blinding.

Her cheeks were flushed, and her wet hair draped over her delicate shoulders, like a lotus emerging from the water, fresh and alluring.

Most captivating was her fiery figure, which a single towel could hardly contain. Her waist was slender, her legs long and firm, and her curves were perfectly proportioned, exuding a seductive charm.

Ye Qiu's mouth was almost watering.

Seeing his reaction, Lin Jingzhi rolled her eyes and said, "Stunned? Haven't you seen it before?"

"Never." Ye Qiu had indeed never seen it before.

Pfft—

Lin Jingzhi smiled, and suddenly, like a blooming peony, the entire room became bright and charming.

"Lin Jie, you are so beautiful," Ye Qiu said earnestly.

"Do you like it?" Lin Jingzhi asked playfully, with two deep dimples on her cheeks.

"Yes."

"Then would you like me to be your girlfriend?"

"I…"

Knock knock!

Just as Ye Qiu was about to say yes, a knock at the door startled him.

"Is it Xiao Jie?" Lin Jingzhi asked.

"President Lin, it's me," Sun Mengjie's voice came from outside. "I've prepared the guest room. I'll take Ye Qiu there."

"Okay, I know." Lin Jingzhi said to Ye Qiu, "It's getting late. You should get some rest!"

Ye Qiu was taken aback. Didn't she say she wanted me to stay? It turns out she didn't mean to sleep with me, but to let me stay overnight in the villa?

Thinking about this, Ye Qiu felt a bit inferior. After all, I'm just a powerless little doctor, while Lin Jie is a high-and-mighty goddess. How could she ever look at me?

"Lin Jie, you get some rest too!" Ye Qiu said and left.

As he was about to leave, Lin Jingzhi called him back. "Ye Qiu, I was serious about the question I asked you. Don't rush to answer. Think about it and let me know when you're ready."

Ye Qiu's originally disappointed mood instantly improved. He turned around and smiled, "Good night, Lin Jie."

"Good night." Lin Jingzhi smiled gently.

Ye Qiu pushed the door open and saw Sun Mengjie with a smug smile on her face, which instantly made him angry.

I'm not sleeping with Lin Jie, so why are you so smug?

"Hmph!"

Ye Qiu coldly snorted.

Sun Mengjie's smile grew even wider.

The guest room was on the second floor of the villa. Ye Qiu lay in bed, unable to sleep, his mind constantly filled with the image of Lin Jingzhi after her bath.

It had to be said, this woman was truly a little demon who tormented him.

Since he couldn't sleep, he might as well practice cultivation.

Today at the Crystal Palace, the Dragon King had stepped forward several times, which deeply moved Ye Qiu. He didn't know when he could open his Heavenly Eye, but he decided to try. If he succeeded, he could help the Dragon King treat the poison and save his life.

Ye Qiu sat cross-legged on the bed and began to practice, following the method to open his Heavenly Eye, guiding the innate energy to flow through his meridians and slowly gather at his brow center.

…

Northern Border.

The cold wind howled.

Looking out, the continuous mountains in the darkness resembled crouching beasts. At the foot of the mountains, there were densely packed military camps.

In one of the camps.

A man sat by a stove. He was in his thirties, lean, with a handsome face, wearing a military overcoat, and a chessboard in front of him.

He held a chess piece, deep in thought.

This man was the famous Champion Marquis, Xiao Jiu!

The adjutant reported beside him, "Yesterday, the Assault Battalion encountered an enemy squad of about a hundred men during training and annihilated them all."

"Today, the Reconnaissance Battalion discovered two unmanned reconnaissance drones, which have been shot down."

"Also…"

"Tell me something else!" Xiao Jiu tapped the table lightly with the chess piece.

Something else?

The adjutant glanced at Xiao Jiu, hesitated, and said, "Marquis, we just received news that the Second Young Master had an incident in Jiangzhou."

"What happened?"

"The Second Young Master got into a conflict and had his legs crippled."

Snap!

Xiao Jiu threw the chess piece, and a sharp, piercing aura suddenly emanated from him, making him seem like an invincible sword.

The adjutant was frightened pale and said, "Marquis, I will immediately send people to capture the culprit."

"Rubbish!" Xiao Jiu roared angrily.

Thud.

The adjutant quickly knelt down.

"Who did it?" Xiao Jiu asked.

"Marquis, it was Lin Jingzhi," the adjutant replied.

"The woman from the Jiang-Zhe Lin family?" Xiao Jiu asked again.

"Yes."

"A man who can't even handle a woman, does he deserve to be my brother?" The sharp aura around Xiao Jiu dissipated like a receding tide, and he said calmly, "Does he want me to take revenge for him?"

"Um." The adjutant nodded.

Xiao Jiu sighed deeply and said, "For years, because of my protection, Qingdi has been acting recklessly. Now that he has been crippled, it is his own fault."

"I hope he will take this as a lesson and reform himself."

"From now on, I will no longer answer his calls. Tell Qingdi that I, Xiao Jiu, would rather die for my country than act out of personal revenge for him."

"By the way, have you heard from Bai Yujing? What has he been up to recently?"
