Chapter 98 – On a dark moonless night, a night for murder


Ye Qiu understood the principle of not looking at what one shouldn’t, but he was a man. Missing out on such a scene would be a pity, wouldn’t it?

Besides, only a fool wouldn’t take advantage of a good opportunity.

He widened his eyes for a better look.

Sun Mengjie looked much cuter than her usual fierce self. She had a slender, delicate figure, with skin as fair as porcelain. Her eyes sparkled with a captivating charm, full of life and spirit.

At this moment, her body was covered in shower gel, with foam conveniently hiding some key areas.

What a shame!

Ye Qiu sighed inwardly.

After a while, Sun Mengjie turned on the shower. Hot water gushed out, and under the cascading water, the foam gradually washed away, revealing a perfect figure, faintly discernible.

However, just then, the steam obscured his view.

“Damn!”

Ye Qiu cursed under his breath, rubbed his eyes, and his vision cleared again.

But what greeted his eyes was a flawless, white back.

Sun Mengjie’s back was perfectly proportioned, neither too fat nor too thin.

Ye Qiu’s gaze continued downward.

Suddenly, he held his breath!

He saw a scar on Sun Mengjie’s back, stretching from her spine to her waist, over twenty centimeters long and thirty centimeters wide.

Though the wound had long healed, the stitches were quite prominent, winding like a centipede, grotesque and terrifying.

Ye Qiu observed closely and realized that the scar was caused by a knife.

Strange, how could a girl get such a severe injury?

It seemed she had a story behind her!

Just as Ye Qiu was about to look further, a strong sense of dizziness hit him, and he quickly averted his gaze.

Swish!

Cold sweat beaded on his forehead, and he almost couldn’t stand.

Ye Qiu held onto the wall with one hand, looking at himself in the mirror, muttering softly, “What just happened? How did I see Sun Mengjie taking a shower? Could it have been an illusion?”

Thinking of this, Ye Qiu quickly left the room and listened outside the neighboring room.

Sure enough, there were faint sounds coming from inside.

Ye Qiu was stunned. Could everything he saw just now be real? How could his vision penetrate walls?

Could it be…

Ye Qiu suddenly thought of a possibility.

Suppressing his excitement, he silently recited the incantation to open the heavenly eyes. Soon, his vision penetrated the door, and he saw Sun Mengjie wrapped in a towel, coming out of the bathroom.

But it only lasted for a moment before another wave of dizziness filled his mind.

Ye Qiu quickly averted his gaze, overjoyed.

It worked!

He had finally opened the heavenly eyes!

He tested it a few more times.

Finally, he discovered that although he had successfully opened the heavenly eyes, there were some limitations. For example, he couldn’t use it for more than thirty seconds at a time, or he would experience dizziness and weakness.

Additionally, the range of his vision was quite limited.

He could only see things within twenty meters.

As for evil spirits, ghosts, and auras, Ye Qiu couldn’t see them yet. He guessed it was related to his cultivation level.

“Anyway, the heavenly eyes have finally been cultivated. The Dragon King can be saved.”

Ye Qiu’s face was filled with a joyful smile.

Just then, the door opened, and Sun Mengjie walked out in pink pajamas.

Seeing Ye Qiu standing outside with a smile, Sun Mengjie asked sternly, “What are you doing here?”

Ye Qiu smiled and said, “I’m enjoying the view.”

“What view at this hour? Tell me, what are you sneaking around for?” Sun Mengjie demanded harshly.

“I already told you, I’m enjoying the view.” Ye Qiu glanced at Sun Mengjie. It was the first time he saw her in pajamas and said with a smile, “The view in front of me is the most beautiful.”

Sun Mengjie understood the implication of his words, and a blush appeared on her ears. She angrily said, “How dare you flirt with me! Do you have a death wish?”

Ye Qiu wasn’t afraid at all, his eyes roamed shamelessly over Sun Mengjie’s body.

Sun Mengjie was both embarrassed and angry, shouting, “If you keep looking, I’ll gouge your eyes out.”

“Tsk tsk tsk, why such a temper for a young lady? But I must say, you look really cute in pajamas.”

“You bastard, how dare you talk nonsense! Go to hell!”

Bang!

Sun Mengjie kicked towards Ye Qiu’s crotch.

If that kick landed, Ye Qiu’s little brother would be out of commission for at least ten days to half a month.

But Ye Qiu was no longer the inexperienced boy he once was. How could he be so easily caught?

He quickly dodged Sun Mengjie’s attack and, in a flash, grabbed her kicking foot.

“Let go of me!” Sun Mengjie shouted angrily.

“You think I’ll let go just because you say so?” Ye Qiu said, “You wanted to make me sterile. That’s too cruel!”

“Hmph, destroying your tool will prevent you from harming others.”

“Who did I harm?”

“Who else but Lin… Let go of me.”

“I won’t let go. What can you do about it?”

Ye Qiu not only didn’t let go but also used his other hand to caress Sun Mengjie’s leg.

Sun Mengjie had never been humiliated like this before. Her eyes turned red with anger.

“I’ll kill you!”

Sun Mengjie kicked with her other foot.

She completely ignored the fact that with one foot held by Ye Qiu, kicking with the other would make her lose balance and fall.

Sure enough.

As soon as Sun Mengjie kicked, she felt her balance shift and screamed, “Ah!” as she fell towards the ground.

Whoosh—

Ye Qiu took a step forward, catching Sun Mengjie in his arms, and asked softly, “Are you okay?”

Sun Mengjie looked up and saw a pair of dark eyes filled with deep concern. For a moment, she forgot she was in a man’s arms and gently shook her head.

“Good, good.”

It was only then that Sun Mengjie realized she was in Ye Qiu’s arms. Blushing, she said, “You…”

“Do you want to thank me? No need, I love helping others.” As Ye Qiu spoke, his hand moved slowly on Sun Mengjie’s waist.

“Let go of me!” Sun Mengjie was both embarrassed and angry, not expecting this bastard to take advantage of her.

Ye Qiu suddenly found teasing Sun Mengjie quite fun and deliberately said, “Such a beautiful night, why don’t we talk about life and dreams?”

Pervert!

Sun Mengjie pinched Ye Qiu’s hand hard with two fingers.

“Let go, let go, it hurts!” Ye Qiu cried out in pain and quickly released Sun Mengjie.

“Scoundrel!”

Sun Mengjie glared at Ye Qiu fiercely, then stormed back into her room, slamming the door shut.

Ye Qiu looked at his hand and saw a patch of skin had turned purple.

“This tigress, she really doesn’t hold back.”

Then, Ye Qiu glanced at Lin Jingzhi, who was sleeping soundly, probably exhausted from earlier.

Ye Qiu looked up at the dark sky, his eyes filled with killing intent, and said slowly, “It seems Sister Lin won’t be getting up for a midnight snack. It’s time for me to take care of business.”
