“Could it be…?”
Shui Miao suddenly had a thought and froze in place. Could it be that she had destroyed the evil spirit’s demonic fetus?
The young girl’s scream startled both the old woman and Yu Nan.
Yu Nan quickly ran to the doorway and saw that her cousin was indeed completely naked. She immediately pushed Shui Miao aside, forbidding him from looking any further, then turned to embrace her cousin. Whispering softly in her ear, Yu Nan told her that the man was specially invited to ward off evil spirits and warned her not to tell any elders about this—just say she had a nightmare.
Finding it boring, Shui Miao quickly tiptoed downstairs.
Within his mental perception range, there were only some ordinary wandering souls and no powerful evil spirits.
The mission had gone extremely smoothly.
However, Shui Miao still felt troubled. The matter of the young girl’s demonic fetus being destroyed was also quite complicated.
About ten minutes later, Yu Nan came downstairs.
“So, what do you think? My cousin’s figure isn’t bad, right?” Yu Nan said with a teasing but slightly annoyed expression.
Shui Miao smiled faintly and turned toward the community gate: “You think I was checking out your cousin’s body?”
“Wasn’t that exactly what you were doing? Your eyes were glued to her, and now you want to deny it?” Yu Nan chased after Shui Miao, countering sharply.
Shui Miao gently shook his head and smiled: “If I wanted to see someone’s body, I wouldn’t even need my eyes. Standing here, I can know the naked appearance of everyone within a hundred meters without even looking.”
“Oh please! Are you going to brag forever? Do you think you’re some kind of immortal? Just because you got rid of a demon, don’t get too full of yourself.” Yu Nan was half-believing, half-doubting, but she absolutely didn’t believe what he had just said.
Shui Miao stopped in his tracks, “How about we make a bet then?”
“What kind of bet?” Yu Nan lifted her head, looking fearless.
“I bet I can tell you exactly where you have a mole, its size, without using my eyes. If I win, we’re even from now on—we go our separate ways and remain just ordinary friends. If I lose, I’ll be your boyfriend.” Shui Miao looked at Yu Nan, knowing she might develop feelings for him, so he set up this preventive measure in advance.
“Pfft! Like you’re such a big deal. Do you think I really care whether you’re my boyfriend or not? Give me a break!” Yu Nan scoffed at him with disdain. “How about this instead—you lose, you give me one million yuan?”
“Fine, deal!” Shui Miao smiled confidently. “Tell me, do you want me to guess a mole on your upper body or lower body?”
“Definitely the lower body.”
Yu Nan stared at Shui Miao, thinking to herself, “There’s no way he can see what’s under my underwear.”
Shui Miao closed his eyes. After three seconds, he directly said: “On your left thigh near the groin—in that triangular area—there’s a large red mole the size of a ping-pong ball. I’m right, aren’t I?”
“You pervert! You must’ve peeked while I was showering!”
Yu Nan suddenly blushed furiously, raising her hand to slap Shui Miao, but he caught her wrist mid-air. “You agreed to the bet—don’t be a sore loser. Also, accusing me of peeping while you shower? That’s a serious accusation. We just met today—I might have wanted to, but I didn’t have the time.”
“Then who told you about it?”
Yu Nan still refused to believe him.
Shui Miao ignored her and changed the subject: “By the way, your cousin was carrying a demonic fetus. I can’t take her to get an abortion—only you can help with that. One thing to note: after the abortion, don’t let her return here. Find a place with good air quality for her to stay for a month before coming back. If you don’t follow my instructions, she’ll suffer a major loss of vitality, with unimaginable consequences.”
“…”
Upon hearing about her cousin’s demonic pregnancy, Yu Nan was stunned into silence.
Shui Miao glanced back at Building No. 17: “Also, the feng shui here is terrible. To fix it, you need to remove the garbage transfer station first… Forget it. Telling you won’t help anyway. We should just part ways. It’s getting late. Goodbye, beautiful Yu Nan.”
After saying this, Shui Miao turned and left directly.
Yu Nan hurriedly chased after him: “Wait, are you really leaving like this?”
“Yeah! I’ve already helped you with what you needed. Why wouldn’t I leave now?” Shui Miao suddenly smiled faintly and glanced at Yu Nan. “Unless you want me to stay the night?”
“No way, but since you helped me, let me treat you to a late-night snack?”
Seeing that Shui Miao was truly leaving, Yu Nan actually felt reluctant.
Shui Miao shook his head, “I’m a cultivator—I don’t eat for days sometimes. No need for the snack. Another time, maybe I’ll treat you. Goodbye!”
Shui Miao waved at Yu Nan and strode away.
Yu Nan stood in place, watching Shui Miao leave, suddenly feeling a strange emptiness in her heart…

At the community gate
Suddenly, his phone rang. Shui Miao took it out and saw it was his godfather, Wang Yong. He had forgotten that Wang Yong said he would come this afternoon. Now it was past midnight, and he was only calling now.
“Godfather, you’re just arriving in Zhonghai this late?”
“Exactly. The car broke down on the way, and I had to wait until now. I’ll arrive at West Station in Zhonghai in twenty minutes. If you have time, come pick me up. If not, I’ll just find a hotel for the night.”
“No problem. I’ll meet you at West Station in twenty minutes.”
Shui Miao hung up and quickly hailed a taxi.
In reality, Wang Yong had acted suspiciously, fearing that the police might be following him. He kept switching vehicles, deliberately got off midway, took a detour, then transferred to a tricycle, a motorcycle, even a boat, and finally hitched a ride in a private car to reach Zhonghai.
Twenty minutes later, Shui Miao met Wang Yong at West Station, who was carrying only a small suitcase. They took a taxi to Jing Shui Village.
When getting off, Wang Yong asked the taxi driver to wait a moment.
Wang Yong still assumed Shui Miao was working as a waiter. In his mind, a waiter couldn’t possibly afford decent housing, so he didn’t ask about Shui Miao’s current situation. Once inside a small house and the door was closed, Wang Yong immediately asked: “Where did you put the thing from that porcelain bottle?”
“Here, I’ve kept it with me all the time.”
Shui Miao didn’t bother with small talk and directly took out the Five Elements Plate from his backpack.
Seeing the Five Elements Plate intact, Wang Yong was overjoyed and quickly placed it into his suitcase.
Unexpectedly, this Wang Yong was also an amateur!
Shui Miao secretly felt pleased, relieved that Wang Yong hadn’t noticed that almost all the spiritual energy inside the plate had already been absorbed by him.
“Hehe, Xiao Shui, this time I really owe you. Take this ten thousand yuan. I won’t stay tonight. I’ll come find you again after I finish some business in a couple of days.” Wang Yong took out an envelope from his pocket, containing ten thousand yuan he had prepared in advance.
Shui Miao tried to refuse at first, but eventually accepted the money after failing to decline it.
Wang Yong took his suitcase and got into the taxi, leaving directly.
Shui Miao checked the time—Wang Yong had only stayed with him for five minutes!
Why was he in such a hurry? What exactly was he up to?
Shui Miao was curious—what secret was Wang Yong hiding?
At the entrance of Jing Shui Village, on the provincial highway, the taxi was driving when suddenly several car lights appeared from the dark roadside bushes. Several black sedans rushed out and directly forced the taxi to stop.
A group of men in black clothes, holding guns, surrounded the taxi.
Seeing this, the taxi driver was so scared he immediately raised his hands and covered his head.
Wang Yong looked outside and stepped out to confront the black-clad men: “What do you think you’re doing? Are you trying to rob me?”
“Cut the crap. Hand over the goods, or we’ll take your life!”
From the darkness, a cold-faced, thin old man quickly approached Wang Yong…
