Shao Xue Cong shook her head and answered, "No, I didn't. I couldn't get near its body with its long hairy arms creeping me out."
Rubbing his chin, Shao Guo Yong thought for a moment.
There was only Lin Xuan Qi at the scene with Zhang Xi.
Zhang Xi had just awakened her Fire Wielding ability. At that point in time, it was impossible for her to have the strength to do so.
Which leaves only one plausible explanation.
Lin Xuan Qi might be an awakened or much stronger than he looks.
But he knows that a normal human being didn't have the strength to do such damage through the tough skin of a demonic beast, so he leaned towards the possibility that Lin Xuan Qi was an awakened.
There's one way for him to find out.
"Xue Cong, I need you to invite him and Zhang Xi to be tested for their abilities."
"Both? You mean that sick guy is an awakened?" Shao Xue Cong raised her eyebrows and asked.
She couldn't fathom how someone terminally ill could be an awakened.
Maybe asking her brother to quit smoking cold turkey style is doing some damage to his brain, she thought.
Shao Guo Yong nodded and said, "Just do as I say. We've got to hurry up and recruit all the awakened we can find. The occurrence of these demonic beasts is getting more frequent."
"I shall see to it tomorrow," Shao Xue Cong sighed and said.
Doctor Wang, who had stood beside them admiring Shao Guo Yong all this while, finally said, "Looks like there's no need for my expertise for now."
She walked up to Shao Guo Yong, took a sniff, and gave him a grin.
"You should release yourself sometimes. No good for you bottling up all the tension." Her hand placed onto Shao Guo Yong's shoulder and slid down onto his chest and abdomen before her hand slipped away from his body.
"If you need to, just let me know. I can help you." She gave him a wink and walked out of the room.
Shao Guo Yong swallowed a mouthful of saliva and tried to calm himself down.
Thud.
"What the hell?!" Shao Guo Yong felt pain on his foot as Shao Xue Cong had stomped on it.
"That's R18 and you've corrupted me! Now I feel so dirty for witnessing it." She started to feign sobbing.
Shao Guo Yong rolled his eyes and took out some money and put it into Shao Xue Cong's hand.
"Here's the fund for your trip tomorrow. Now go and get to work." He cursed and took out a packet of cigarettes.
A lollipop isn't going to calm himself down after what happened.
He should be used to the teasing from Doctor Wang by now, but still....
Shao Xue Cong took the money, grinned and skipped away happily.
He sighed, put a cigarette into his mouth and looked at the dwindling budget for the Awakened Investigation Team.
...
Next day.
Lin Xuan Qi woke up and checked his phone.
Zhao Jia Rui was in her room sitting in lotus position.
She was breathing heavily, lifting her chest up and down.
His eyes followed the rhythmic motion as they moved, but he quickly shook his head and focused on what she was doing instead.
She continued the breathing, and sweat started to appear all over her body.
Her dantian was now feeling warm as she followed the instructions of the Primordial Essence Cultivation Technique.
The Qi abundance in the air was able to be gathered to her dantian and slowly seeped into it.
While doing so, they slowly healed her dantian.
It was shocking to her that the manuscript from Lin Xuan Qi could really do this.
This was something unheard of.
Her master had told her that to heal her dantian, she would need to sacrifice everything—her riches, pride, and body—to even have a chance to be cured by the Qi Elder from the Alchemy Valley.
The Qi Elder was revered as the best alchemy cultivator in the whole of the Da Qian Realm where she was.
And yet, right now, she was slowly being healed just from Lin Xuan Qi's manuscript.
Now she suspects that the Primordial Essence Sword Style was higher than even the Heavenly Level.
Making it one of the most powerful sword styles in Da Qian Realm, surpassing even the Thunder Sword Style at only Mystic Level.
Her white robe, now drenched in sweat, became translucent, and her red dudou showed through.
The robe stuck to her skin and accentuated her figure perfectly.
Lin Xuan Qi marveled at her fair skin, now giving out a shine due to the beads of sweat, and the curves from the translucent white robe.
The sunlight shining into her room, making her glow and look like an angel, made it even much more eye-pleasing.
He stood up as he felt a surge of energy raging to get out from his body.
Splash.
Lin Xuan Qi got into the bathroom and splashed water on his face to cool himself down.
He looked into the mirror and gave out a long sigh.
His life is tough as it is; why put him through such trials and tribulations?
After he calmed down, he went back and checked on Zhao Jia Rui.
Meanwhile, Zhao Jia Rui now had mist rising from her body.
She was feeling at the climax as she couldn't divert any more Qi into her dantian.
With all her might, her eyebrows locked as she tried to stop the urge to cry out.
But it was to no avail; her body had goosebumps as she followed the instructions to complete the Primordial Essence Cultivation Technique.
Finally, it was at her chest, making her breasts perk up and reaching to her throat, and she gave out a cry.
"Ahhh."
She blushed and scanned around in shame.
Luckily, she couldn't feel the ancestors' gaze looking at her at that moment.
And as soon as Lin Xuan Qi picked up the phone, she felt the gaze again.
She quickly got out of her room and tended to the crops.
Lin Xuan Qi nodded at her hardworking attitude and, as usual, bought her breakfast.
He checked his bank account after doing so.
After spending on construction of the Sect and Formation Array, he now had $30,790 left in his bank account.
Knock.
Someone knocked on his door.
