When Ling Zhenfei turned around, he saw Jiu Jiu behind him staring at him blankly.

"Are you sober now?"

Jiu Jiu took a wobbly step towards Ling Zhenfei, clung to his arm with both hands, and said with a smile, "You're really amazing, like a great hero."

"What hero, don't talk nonsense. Where do you live? I'll take you home." Ling Zhenfei could tell that Jiu Jiu was clearly not sober yet. Having drunk so much, it wasn't easy to wake up so quickly.

With a drunk and hazy look, Jiu Jiu said, "Didn't you just save me? I want to offer myself in gratitude."

"Forget about it, I don't even want to marry, let alone have you offer yourself." Ling Zhenfei didn't want to get involved with a girl like Jiu Jiu.

"You don't have to marry me, think of it as me repaying your kindness. Besides, right now..." Jiu Jiu didn't finish her sentence when she suddenly bent down and vomited a mouthful of filth onto the ground.

Luckily, Ling Zhenfei dodged quickly, otherwise, he would certainly have been splattered. It seemed that Jiu Jiu really had drunk too much.

After vomiting, Jiu Jiu became even less coherent, to the point that she couldn't even stand. Ling Zhenfei had no choice but to carry Jiu Jiu to his car.

With a woman in the car, Ling Zhenfei wasn't sure where to go. He could have gone to Liu Bingying's house, but he didn't want to bring Jiu Jiu there, as it wasn't his own place. Liu Bingying had kindly taken him in, and bringing a strange woman there seemed quite inappropriate.

After driving around in circles for a while without thinking of a good place to go, Ling Zhenfei had no choice but to take Jiu Jiu to Liu Bingying's house.

Seeing that Jiu Jiu had fallen asleep, he laid her on the couch. Jiu Jiu was truly a beauty, looking so lovely even in sleep. Ling Zhenfei could have taken advantage of her at any moment if he wanted, but of course, he did no such thing. Instead, he covered Jiu Jiu with a blanket.

Bringing a stranger home and letting her sleep on the couch was already quite generous. Without giving it much thought, Ling Zhenfei went back to his room to sleep.

He was indeed tired after the day's events. His Divine Sense entered the Heaven-Dropping Essence Marrow for cultivation, and no matter how busy he was, Ling Zhenfei never neglected his nightly sessions in the Essence Marrow. He knew that only by improving his strength could he stand his ground in society.

Not sure how long he had been cultivating in the Heaven-Dropping Essence Marrow, suddenly he heard a faint noise in the room. Ling Zhenfei quickly withdrew his Divine Sense from the Essence Marrow and saw a silhouette walking in through the door.

Ling Zhenfei's eyes were particularly clear at night. The person sneaking in was Jiu Jiu. Ling Zhenfei was slightly surprised. Why would Jiu Jiu come in at this late hour instead of sleeping outside? He didn't make a sound, pretending to be in a deep sleep, wanting to see what Jiu Jiu was up to.

He always had a feeling that Jiu Jiu's approach was not so straightforward, though he had no evidence, just a pure hunch.

"What do you want to do?" Ling Zhenfei couldn't keep quiet any longer.

"Oh, you're awake, and you were pretending to sleep. What do you think I'm doing? Of course, I'm here to join you. But you really are no fun, throwing me alone on the couch like that," Jiu Jiu said with a tinge of complaint in her voice.

"I see, so you've been pretending to be drunk from the start, right?" Ling Zhenfei seemed to understand something now; Jiu Jiu didn't seem drunk at all at that moment.

"That's right, how else would you possibly have brought me home? But you really are interesting. Other men try everything to take me home, and you're the only one who tried everything not to," she continued.

"What exactly do want to do?"

"I'm lying right beside you, and you're still asking what I want to do. Don't you feel anything at all?" Jiu Jiu looked at him with a look of longing.

"I'm very doubtful of your intentions. I don't think a woman would act like this without an ulterior motive. What is your purpose?"

Jiu Jiu chuckled, "Turns out you're not uninterested, you just have the desire but not the courage, afraid that I might have other intentions. You don't know how many men would resort to any means to get me, but I dislike such men. Instead, I find those who desperately try to avoid me much more intriguing."

Ling Zhenfei was a normal man, and if he didn't make a move at this time, he would truly be abnormal.

Ling Zhenfei spoke with some anger, "This is what you've brought upon yourself!"

"So what if I have? Come on then, let's see what you've got!" Jiu Jiu said with a mischievous smile, sensing the change in Ling Zhenfei and knowing her provocative tactic had worked.

In the same bedroom, Ling Zhenfei had spent many joyous nights with Liu Bingying, but this time, it was Jiu Jiu, and he quickly understood the difference between the two women.

If it had been an ordinary man, he would definitely be controlled by Jiu Jiu, but she miscalculated this time because she had encountered Ling Zhenfei.

Ling Zhenfei, not an ordinary man with his spiritual power, did not know how much time had passed, of course he wouldn't just let her go so easily.

The next day Ling Zhenfei woke up and was startled as soon as he opened his eyes because Jiu Jiu was looking at him with a smile.

"What are you doing, trying to scare me?"

Jiu Jiu's expression had changed considerably from the day before, she seemed not as bewitching as she was last night, and became somewhat tender.

"Do you know, you are the first man to ever make me submit."

Ling Zhenfei propped himself up on the pillow and sat up, "Should I throw a party to celebrate then, and announce to the whole world that I have successfully conquered Miss Jiu Jiu?"

Jiu Jiu gave him a light push and said, "You rascal, that's not what I meant; there's something I want to tell you first."

Jiu Jiu became somewhat serious for a rare occasion, and Ling Zhenfei knew she must be hiding something from him, just as he had thought last night; now it seemed she was ready to come clean.

"What is it? Tell me."

Jiu Jiu hesitated for a moment then said, "Actually, I approached you on purpose yesterday."

"I had suspected that much, which is why I doubted you," Ling Zhenfei said frankly.

"I was sent by Han Fenghuang."

Upon hearing this, Ling Zhenfei was stunned, "Han Fenghuang? The one from yesterday's class reunion at noon?"

"Exactly, it's because she felt humiliated during the class reunion yesterday, so she found me."

"What exactly does she want you to achieve by getting close to me?" Ling Zhenfei still couldn't figure out what Han Fenghuang's real purpose was in sending Jiu Jiu to seduce him.

Jiu Jiu rattled the smartphone in her hand and said, "She wanted me to take photos of us together, then send them to Yang Zixuan so that Yang Zixuan would be convinced that you're a louse, and then to get the two of you to break up, and in doing so, take revenge on you."

After hearing this, Ling Zhenfei almost burst into laughter. Han Fenghuang could actually come up with such a plan. If she knew that he and Yang Zixuan hadn't established a relationship yet, who knows what she would think.

"Then why are you telling me all this? How are you going to explain it to Han Fenghuang?"
