This money could buy a very luxurious, fully furnished bachelor apartment in Yunzhou City.
Thinking this, Lu Chen was incredibly excited.
He also understood why these guys wore so much gold jewelry: gold is believed to ward off poison, and they were all experts in poisons. It's similar to a Taoist priest who hunts zombies; he always wears a string of garlic around his neck.
Lu Chen wouldn't be polite with these things; he'd take them all.
As for their junk weapons, he ignored them.
Lu Chen also had a plan for what to do with these four guys. He'd hand them over to Yu Menglan later; maybe he could give her a surprise. For now, Lu Chen tossed them into the nearby fire escape like trash.
Few people went there, and with the late hour, no one would pass by.
Then, Lu Chen checked the door lock. Fortunately, the four guys were skilled lock pickers; they hadn't damaged the lock and could still lock it. Closing the door, Lu Chen sniffed and immediately exclaimed in alarm, "Damn it, the porridge is burning!"
He quickly went back to his room, threw the looted items into a drawer, and then returned to the kitchen, frantically trying to fix the porridge that had somehow overflowed.
Just then, a scream came from outside the kitchen: "Chen, what's that burning smell? The porridge's burnt?"
Dong Qingqing ran in, followed by Yu Menglan.
Lu Chen was a little embarrassed; since he started cooking, this had never happened before. He quickly steadied himself on the stove, then propped his forehead with his hand, weakly saying, "Ah, I was treating your cousin's injury just now, and I overdid it, so I'm exhausted and dizzy. This carelessness caused the porridge to not cook properly."
It was truly a tragic situation, and it wasn't just because he was treating Yu Menglan's injury!
However, Lu Chen's current condition wasn't so bad. Although he was indeed a little weak, the excitement of having just earned so many strange and wonderful treasures and millions of dollars worth of gold was enough to sustain him.
However, upon hearing this, Dong Qingqing's face immediately showed a look of concern. She walked to Lu Chen's side, reached out and gently rubbed his face twice, softly saying, "I know you're tired, let me do it! Go sit down for a while, don't tire yourself out. Have a bowl of porridge later, and rest quickly, okay?"
This clearly showed that Dong Qingqing had overcome her previous fear of Lu Chen's miraculous abilities. She didn't know what Yu Menglan had said to her, but the love she was showing Lu Chen now was a deeper kind of love. There was even a hint of treating him like a treasure.
However, Lu Chen was a little dumbfounded when he heard this, and said in a low voice, "Hurry up and rest? Sister Qingqing, we... we weren't finished yet, have you forgotten?"
This guy was probably still lustful and hadn't forgotten about that.
Dong Qingqing's face flushed red, and she couldn't help but punch Lu Chen's chest: "You, you're so... annoying!"
This coquettish tone made Lu Chen incredibly happy and intoxicated, wishing he could immediately take Sister Qingqing right there and then.
However, there was a bright, beautiful third wheel behind her.
Lu Chen scratched his ear and went out first. Not long after, Dong Qingqing brought out three bowls of fragrant porridge. Fortunately, it had only overflowed and been scalded by the fire; the porridge wasn't burnt.
The porridge was quite good—soft, delicious, and fragrant—and all three of them enjoyed it.
After finishing the porridge, it was almost three o'clock. Dong Qingqing wanted Yu Menglan to stay and rest, but she said she had something to do and insisted on leaving. Dong Qingqing could only lend her a set of clothes and was about to see her out when Lu Chen suddenly spoke up: "Sister Qingqing, let me see her out. I have something I want to talk to her about."
As soon as he said this, Lu Chen started thinking about how to answer Dong Qingqing's questions.
Perhaps she would ask, "What is it? Is it inconvenient for me to know?"
However, Dong Qingqing didn't ask anything. She just nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go back to my room first. You see Menglan out!" With that, she waved to Yu Menglan and obediently went into her room.
She acted as if she knew what Lu Chen wanted to say to Yu Menglan and wanted to avoid him.
Lu Chen was dumbfounded, looking at Yu Menglan: "What did you tell Qingqing? Why isn't she curious at all?"
Yu Menglan said calmly, "It's a secret."
She wore a red, short-sleeved, form-fitting cotton dress, knee-length, which perfectly accentuated the already stunning figure of the beautiful assassin.
Her curves, both in the front and back, were incredibly alluring, immediately arousing.
So, when Lu Chen looked at her, his gaze involuntarily fell on those trembling peaks.
He was instantly mesmerized.
Suddenly, Yu Menglan raised a hand, her index and middle fingers aimed at Lu Chen's eyes.
The speed was lightning fast, startling Lu Chen, who quickly dodged to the side. Actually, he definitely wouldn't have been able to dodge, but Yu Menglan didn't actually insert her two fingers; she stopped halfway.
She snorted, strode to the door, opened it, and walked out.
Lu Chen scratched his ear, swaying as he followed, muttering, "Holy crap, is this the prelude to murdering her husband?"
Reaching the door, he didn't say a word, but leaned against the doorframe, admiring Yu Menglan's alluring and incredibly sexy back as she swayed down the hallway.
Her full shoulders and back sloped down to her slender waist, then abruptly narrowed, before widening again into a stunning curve, forming a super-sized peach. If she were lying down, her butt sticking out, she would be incredibly alluring.
Yu Menglan took seven or eight steps, but seeing no reaction from behind, she had to stop and turn around to ask, "Kid, you seem to have something else to say to me, right? Go ahead!"
Lu Chen continued to lean against the doorframe, arms crossed, and asked casually, "No one followed you here, did they?"
Instantly, Yu Menglan froze. "Followed me? What do you mean? Of course not!"
"Really?" Lu Chen narrowed his eyes, a wicked smile playing on his lips.
Yu Menglan stared at him, her beautiful eyes fixed on him intently. After a long while, she sighed and said, "Alright, there are indeed people following me, the ones who beat me up like this. They won't be satisfied until they get my corpse. However, although I can't beat them, I still have the ability to escape. I've already shaken them off. They definitely won't find this place. As an assassin, I have that much skill. So, you don't need to worry about your sister Qingqing being in any danger."
She shrugged. "Don't talk about how excellent I am. At least, I'm a qualified assassin. Shaking off a few powerful pursuers isn't particularly difficult for me."
"Is that so?" Lu Chen's lips curled into a mocking smile. He said, "Little Menglan, you're too confident. The consequence of being too confident is arrogance; the result of being too arrogant is suicide! Understand?"
"What do you mean?" Yu Menglan's face darkened. Suddenly, she found this guy's mouth very annoying.
"What do I mean?" Lu Chen smiled slightly, gesturing with his chin towards the fire escape door beside him. "Go take a look over there, and you'll see what I mean."
Yu Menglan was completely bewildered. She glared at Lu Chen resentfully, then suddenly said, "Kid, if you dare mess with me, I'll bite you to death!"
"I'm afraid you'll kiss me to death," Lu Chen said, scratching his head and chuckling.
Yu Menglan walked to the fire escape door, opened it, and then her eyes widened in disbelief.
What did she see? Three people! Three people tightly bound together!
And these three were rare individuals who could instill fear in her!
She took a deep breath and closed the door.
It was clear she had underestimated these three guys' abilities. They had actually found their way here! Fortunately, Lu Chen had discovered them and even eliminated them!
This Lu Chen was too powerful!
This was someone even she struggled to deal with!
Yu Menglan suddenly turned around and saw the boy grinning. Overwhelmed with excitement, she couldn't resist lunging forward and hugging Lu Chen tightly, her bright red lips pressing against his.
"Damn, are you biting me or kissing me?"
Lu Chen uttered this question, then fell silent. His mouth was completely covered by Yu Menglan's kiss. Even if his mouth wasn't covered, he probably wouldn't be able to speak anyway. His chest was pressed firmly against those two incredibly full breasts, making his heart almost stop beating.
Yu Menglan was even more frenzied than before. She sucked on Lu Chen's lips, then let him suck on her tongue, and then they sucked on each other's. Their bodies pressed against the wall, twisting and turning against it.
Lu Chen's hand once again pressed against the two snow-white peaks he had modified…
The two were locked in a passionate embrace for several minutes, almost to the point of tearing their clothes apart.
Suddenly, Yu Menglan pushed Lu Chen away. She took a few steps back, gesturing for Lu Chen, who was about to pounce on her, to stop.
She lowered her head, one hand bracing against the wall, the other stroking her heaving breasts, panting heavily.
"Alright, alright, that's enough! I'll take these three guys back."
As she spoke, Yu Menglan looked up at Lu Chen with deep emotion, and whispered, "Chen, thank you. These three caused me a lot of trouble. If I hadn't dealt with them, not only would I have been in great danger, but I would have also had a hard time explaining myself to my boss. I really don't know how you managed to subdue them. Anyway, thank you so much!"
As she spoke, she reached out and grabbed one of Lu Chen's broad hands, then suddenly, with a seductive glint in her eye, bit it. The bite was neither too light nor too heavy, a little painful yet a little itchy.
It felt like a bite into Lu Chen's heart, making him feel almost intoxicated. Compared to the passionate kiss just now, this was a completely different sensation.
At this moment, Yu Menglan no longer resembled the cold and glamorous female assassin; she was clearly a delicate and charming woman.
This bite brought out Lu Chen's heroic spirit, a strong protective instinct towards Yu Menglan.
This protective instinct surged forth, and he couldn't help but pull Yu Menglan's hand back, drawing her into his arms. He gently embraced her, inhaling the fragrance of her hair, and then said firmly, "Little Menglan, remember this: if you ever encounter an enemy you can't handle, tell me, and I'll take care of it for you! And you, all you have to do is repay me with your body!"
