Chapter 69: A Woman Who Can Bear a Son!

At 10 p.m., with the city lights beginning to shine, the night in Linjiang City became intoxicating, and countless disheartened youths started to drown their sorrows by the roadside.

Ji Menglan, her figure ghost-like, moved rapidly towards Crouching Dragon Villa under the cover of night. Having reached the Innate realm, she could achieve short-term levitation, moving between floors without much expenditure of internal Qi.

In Jiang Che’s bedroom at Crouching Dragon Villa, he was treating a cold-related illness. Ever since discovering Ah Qing’s special constitution, Jiang Che had been helping her every day with blood circulation to expel the cold.

“Young master... it’s a bit ticklish,” Ah Qing blushed with each treatment, always feeling unbearably ticklish.

“This is normal. The cold is being expelled from your body; it will be itchy. You have to endure it.”

“Okay...” Ah Qing obediently nodded, shyly lowering her head. Despite repeated treatments by Jiang Che, she always felt embarrassed.

“That’s enough for today’s treatment. You can go back to sleep,” Jiang Che said with a smile as he withdrew his hand.

Ah Qing nodded and left the bed, not even bothering with shoes, and hastily left on her bare feet.

Jiang Che shook his head amusedly at her departure and was about to go to bed when he sensed something unusual.

His perception had become extremely sensitive after reaching the late Innate stage. In such a quiet environment, he could detect even the slightest movement within a hundred meters.

Jiang Che looked out the window and noticed a shadow moving around his estate. Situated in the suburbs of Linjiang City, Crouching Dragon Villa was almost deserted, with the nearest urban area a ten-minute drive away. He suspected the intruder had no good intentions.

Jiang Che silently closed the window and lay down to sleep, curious to see who the intruder was.

...

Ji Menglan carefully moved through the villa, having already observed its layout. The villa, covering ten thousand square meters, included several modern, retro, western-style castles, and traditional Chinese courtyards, complete with gardens, rockeries, and pools.

“So extravagant,” she muttered, comparing her own living conditions over the years, which paled in comparison to Jiang Che’s luxury.

She planned to sneak in during the security guards’ hourly shift change. Moving swiftly under the cover of night, she soon reached the central modern villa and leaped up to the second-floor window, entering through it.

In the second-floor corridor, she quietly searched room by room and soon found Jiang Che. Locking the door, she approached the window to observe him.

“He’s quite handsome,” she whispered under the faint moonlight, recalling the photo of Jiang Che Ye Chen had shown her. He looked even more handsome than in the photo.

If Jiang Che knew what she was thinking, Jiang Che would scoff. You came to assassinate me, and I should respect women?

“Tell me! Are you Ji Menglan?” After several more slaps, Jiang Che asked, somewhat satisfied.

Ji Menglan didn’t answer, just glaring at him.

“You’re so fierce; you won’t be able to get married in the future!” Jiang Che shook his head helplessly and slapped her again.

“I am... I am Ji Menglan,” Ji Menglan finally admitted after enduring for about fifteen minutes, completely shocked by Jiang Che’s shamelessness.

“It would have been better if you admitted earlier, then you wouldn’t have had to suffer so much,” Jiang Che said, shaking his head.

Ji Menglan didn’t reply, fearing that saying anything more would provoke him again.

“So, you’re Ye Chen’s sister, aren’t you? He sent you to assassinate me, right?” Jiang Che sat down across from her, sealing her cultivation, and looked at her playfully.

He noticed her good figure and based on his earlier assessment, was sure she could bear children.

“How do you know?” Ji Menglan was stunned, unable to understand how he could act so ungentlemanly towards a beautiful woman like her, leaving her a bit sore.

“Don’t worry about how I know, just say whether it is or not.”

“Hmph!” Ji Menglan snorted coldly in response to his commanding tone, which she found displeasing.

“What, you don’t want to say?” Jiang Che frowned and gestured as if he was going to start again, and indeed he did.

“You’re shameless!”

“Thank you for the compliment,” Jiang Che chuckled, unbothered by her insults. “Are you going to admit it?”

“You shameless person!”

“Still not admitting?”

“I... I admit it, this matter is indeed related to Ye Chen, but he didn’t send me. I came on my own to avenge him,” Ji Menglan finally couldn’t take it anymore and confessed.

Jiang Che, a bit disappointed, withdrew his hand. “I’ll let you off for now.”
