Chapter 15

Shen Xin quickly moved away from Fang Tianfeng, gently smoothing the hair behind her ear, and then said with a self-mocking smile, "You've seen me make a fool of myself, haven't you?"

Fang Tianfeng smiled and said, "Fool? No, I just saw a beautiful woman next to me, with a fragrant scent all over her, making me daydream and thinking how wonderful it would be if it could always be like this."

Shen Xin pretended to be angry and shot him a glare, but the corners of her mouth were curled up with a smile as she said, "You men are all the same! What kind of beauty am I, an old lady?"

Fang Tianfeng said, "Sis, don't be modest. You know how people in the company call you, 'the sick beauty.' Some male colleagues even say that when you frown, it reminds them of Xi Shi, who had a heart condition, just like the story of Xi Shi holding her heart."

Shen Xin couldn't hide her smile and said with a coquettish laugh, "Talking nonsense! What Xi Shi? You're just talking nonsense. I wouldn't believe you even if I wanted to."

Fang Tianfeng chuckled and said, "Anyway, I think Sister Shen is very beautiful, with a lot of womanly charm."

Shen Xin's fair face turned slightly red, but she said with a cold laugh, "Brat, you've learned to tease your sister? You've got some nerve!"

Fang Tianfeng cried out in protest, "Unfair! I didn't lie at all. If you don't believe me, go out and see for yourself. I don't think any man can resist looking at you."

Shen Xin was secretly pleased and waved her hand, saying, "Forget it, I'll let you off." She then lightly sniffed, smelling the perfume, and felt a sense of comfort for some reason.

Fang Tianfeng picked up a slice of watermelon and started eating, asking, "When will Brother Shi come back? You two are so close, why not just call him Brother Shi?"

Shen Xin picked up a cherry and put it in her mouth, chewing slowly, and said, "It's just a title. We only met a few times when we were young, and only started interacting more as we grew up. I learned to call him Brother Shi from others. I forgot to tell you, he called and said you must stay here, he wants to come back and thank you."

Fang Tianfeng said, "Then I'll treat your migraine now. It's too late to go home."

"Okay!"

Fang Tianfeng walked behind her and said, "This time, don't fall asleep."

Shen Xin thought of how she fell asleep in her bathrobe yesterday and woke up in bed, and said with a sharp tone, "Xiao Feng, did you do something wrong last night?"

Fang Tianfeng quickly said, "I really didn't do anything. I just carried you to bed. I definitely didn't do anything to betray you."

Shen Xin huffed and said, "If it happens again, remember to take off my clothes. I like sleeping naked; wearing clothes is bad for my heart."

Fang Tianfeng said with a sense of grievance, "Sister Shen, you're so grown up, can you stop teasing me? I'm still a young man, how can I just take off someone's clothes?"

Shen Xin burst out laughing and said, "You're just lying. Are you still a young man? Is your girlfriend just for show?"

Fang Tianfeng felt depressed and said, "We haven't officially confirmed our relationship yet, and her mother ruined it."

Shen Xin cooed and comforted him, "Don't worry, once I'm cured, I'll help you break her in."

Fang Tianfeng retorted, "I don't know who will break who."

"You!" Shen Xin was both embarrassed and angry. She had a heart condition and couldn't touch men, no matter how much she liked to tease, no matter how much she acted like a female gangster, she hadn't done it.

Fang Tianfeng saw the atmosphere was wrong and quickly said, "Sister, close your eyes. I'm going to use qi gong to treat you. Don't move, or I'll lose control!"

Shen Xin gritted her teeth in anger, raised her right hand, and slowly clenched it, making a popping sound, and said, "Once you cure my heart condition, I'll show you what I can do!"

Fang Tianfeng didn't say anything but thought to himself, "You're just talking. When that day comes, I don't know who will show who. I don't believe I can't handle a mature female gangster!"

Shen Xin noticed Fang Tianfeng hadn't moved and asked, "Xiao Feng, what are you doing?"

Fang Tianfeng cleared his throat and quickly started using the qi induction technique.

Fang Tianfeng was more skilled than yesterday, extracting more and faster each time. He stopped when his internal qi was down to one-fifth. This wasn't his home, so he needed to reserve some qi for emergencies.

Today, Shen Xin didn't fall asleep like yesterday. She remained conscious, though her breathing was occasionally heavy, and her face often flushed. The scent she emitted was even stronger.

After treating Shen Xin, Fang Tianfeng sat back down and closed his eyes to rest.

Shen Xin originally wanted to keep sitting, but seeing Fang Tianfeng's tired appearance, she felt a pang of pain and walked behind him, placing her hands on his temples and gently massaging.

"I'll help you rub."

"Okay, thank you, Sister Shen."

"Don't be so formal!"

After a while, Fang Tianfeng recovered his energy and asked Sister Shen to stop.

At 10:30 PM, the door to the private room opened, and Shi Weicheng appeared with a beaming face. When they first met, he was full of confidence and had the air of a successful businessman, but now he seemed to have lost some of his stature, appearing more like a kind and friendly middle-aged uncle.

Shi Weicheng quickly walked to Fang Tianfeng, bent down, and grabbed his hand, holding it tightly with a full smile, showing extreme respect.

Fang Tianfeng quickly stood up, and Shi Weicheng said excitedly, "Master Fang, you've done me a great favor this time. I must thank you properly! I'm planning to set up a banquet at Yujiang Hotel tomorrow to thank you. Please do me the honor of attending."

Yujiang Hotel was one of the earliest five-star hotels in Yunhai City, and Fang Tianfeng had only heard of it but never been there.

Fang Tianfeng was taken aback by being called "Master Fang" and said, "Brother Shi, you're too formal. I'll definitely come."

Shi Weicheng still wouldn't let go and said, "If it weren't for Master Fang's help, I would have lost everything within a year! I can't thank you enough! If you need any help in the future, just ask! If I say no, may I die a terrible death!"

Fang Tianfeng felt this was a bit too much and said, "Brother Shi, just call me Xiao Fang. I don't deserve the title of Master."

Shen Xin, who had been lounging, stretched lazily and said, "Brother Shi, don't avoid the important points. Xiao Feng comes from a hidden Daoist sect, but he still needs to eat and drink. This time, he helped us avoid a major disaster. A meal isn't enough. I'll decide, and the company will give him 50,000 as a consulting fee."

Shi Weicheng immediately said, "That's only right! I'll bring the money tomorrow. But it's not from the company; I'll pay it personally!"

Fang Tianfeng was secretly delighted. This was the most money he had ever earned. He hadn't made 50,000 in a year before, and he never thought he could earn so much just by saying a few words.

Shen Xin looked at Fang Tianfeng with a loving smile, the kind a sister would give to a younger brother, and said, "Brother Shi, I've discussed with Xiao Feng. He has just completed his cultivation and is preparing to use Daoist techniques to achieve something. You have good connections in the construction industry. If anyone believes in this or has problems they need to solve, please recommend him."

Some things Fang Tianfeng couldn't say, but Shen Xin's words were more effective.

Shi Weicheng quickly said, "No problem, I'll take care of it! But Master Fang is so amazing, I really can't understand how he knows these things." At this moment, there was no longer any doubt in his eyes, only respect.

Fang Tianfeng used the qi viewing technique to check Shi Weicheng's qi. His bad luck was almost gone, and his good luck and wealth were slowly returning. However, next to his life qi, there was a new, candle-like white life qi, semi-transparent and unstable.

Seeing Fang Tianfeng's expression change, Shi Weicheng quickly asked, "Master Fang, is there any change?"

Fang Tianfeng smiled and said, "Congratulations, Brother Shi."

Shi Weicheng asked in surprise, "What happened?"

Fang Tianfeng smiled and said, "Brother Shi, you didn't know? Your wife is pregnant. I can't tell if it's a boy or a girl, though."

Shi Weicheng was stunned. He found it hard to believe because he had never had children. His first wife died of illness, and he remained single for many years before marrying his current wife five years ago. They had never been successful in having a child, and he had even considered artificial insemination.

Shen Xin's smile was a bit strange, and she said, "Xiao Feng's eyes don't lie, but it might not be your wife's."

Shi Weicheng's face turned red, and he asked, "Tianfeng, are you sure? Do I really have a child? Is it my wife's?"

Fang Tianfeng then remembered that Shi Weicheng had relationships with four women and said, "I only know the child is yours, but I'm not sure if it's your wife's. I'd need to see it to be certain."

Shi Weicheng was extremely excited, his face turning increasingly red. He quickly said, "Don't trick me. Did you see it wrong? Why didn't you see it before?"

Fang Tianfeng was taken aback, thought for a moment, and then realized, "I understand. You were bound to have an accident before the child was born, and the mother might have been affected, leading to the death of the fetus. That's why I couldn't see you having a child before. Now that you've resolved the problem, you won't have an accident, and the child will be born safely."

Fang Tianfeng hadn't expected the world to be so intricately connected, so ingeniously.

Shi Weicheng's eyes welled up, and he said, "Thank you, Master Fang! If I really have a child, you'll be a great benefactor to my family! Name your price, and I'll pay it as a thank you for saving my child!"

Fang Tianfeng hadn't planned to ask for more money and remembered what the old man in his dream had said. He shook his head and said, "I've helped you eliminate the disaster and accepted 50,000, which was mutually agreed upon. There's no problem with that. But if I ask for more money, it would be like charging twice for one job, which I, as a disciple of a hidden Daoist sect, cannot do."

The old man in his dream had talked about cause and effect, calamities, and the principle of moderation. The reason the Tianyun Sect was destroyed was that many disciples acted without restraint for fame and profit. If he charged twice, it would be like owing Shi Weicheng a favor or a promise.

If Shi Weicheng had a problem in the future, Fang Tianfeng would have to help, and the cost would far exceed the current benefit. If he didn't help, such accumulated debts would eventually bring disaster, and he wouldn't even know how he died. This was a lesson learned from the blood of the Tianyun Sect.

Moreover, instead of taking more money from Shi Weicheng now, it would be better to let the fish grow bigger and have him introduce more people.

After saying this, Fang Tianfeng suddenly felt refreshed, and his internal qi became more active.
