Li Qianfan had just let go when the short-haired woman jumped up from the ground with a roll, coughing while clutching her neck and glaring angrily at him.
“I told you that I have two subordinates, one is Zhou Dong and the other is her,” Jiang WanYun explained.
“Oh, I see, sorry about that… May I ask how to address you?” Li Qianfan said with a smile.
“Li Dongmei!” the short-haired woman said indignantly.
“Li what Mei?” Li Qianfan asked.
“Li Dongmei!”
“Li Dong what?”
“Li Dongmei, for god’s sake!”
“What Dongmei?”
Li Dongmei exploded in fury: “Are you f*cking doing this on purpose?”
Li Qianfan chuckled, scratching his head and said, “Just kidding, don’t be so angry. It was my fault just now, and I apologize for that. But you can’t blame me either. You were lurking around here like a thief, so it was only natural for me to make a move on you.”
Li Dongmei was about to fight back when Jiang WanYun hurriedly grabbed her arm: “Dongmei, don’t do this, we’re on the same team…”
“Let go of me, Aunt Jiang, I’m going to beat him to death!” Li Dongmei exclaimed.
“You can’t beat him anyway… What are you waiting for? Get going already!” Jiang WanYun was speaking to Li Dongmei but then shouted at Li Qianfan.
Li Qianfan immediately ran downstairs and disappeared like a puff of smoke.
Jiang WanYun pulled Li Dongmei into her bedroom, and after closing the door, she asked, “Why on earth did you rush over to my place in the middle of the night?”
“What else could it be? It’s because you called to say you’ve become the Deputy Director, and that woman named Liu Ruyan has become the Director!” Li Dongmei said angrily.
“It was a decision from the higher-ups. I’ve been injured and my strength has greatly diminished. I can no longer wield the power of the Foundation Establishment Realm. For safety reasons, the higher-ups decided to let Liu Ruyan be the Director while I support her as the Deputy Director,” Jiang WanYun explained patiently.
“How can this be acceptable! Aunt Jiang, you’ve been serving as the Director for so many years, always diligent and hardworking. Even if you didn’t achieve much, your effort is undeniable. How can the higher-ups demote you just because of your decreased strength? That’s too disheartening!” Li Dongmei said with both anger and urgency.
“It was my own request. The higher-ups even tried to persuade me, but I insisted,” Jiang WanYun said.
Li Dongmei was at a loss for words.
Jiang WanYun sighed and said, “My meridians are severed, and it’s uncertain whether I can recover my strength. We cannot be without a powerful cultivator to manage Da’an City, so I had to make this choice. Plus, being the Director or not is never the important part.”
“Dongmei, for us cultivators, strength is the most important thing. Positions and authority are just fleeting clouds—an elementary lesson you still need me to teach you?”
Li Dongmei hesitated for a long time before saying, “It’s just that… I feel a bit upset.”
“Now that you know it was my own initiative to step down, can you swallow that pride?” Jiang WanYun said with a smile and pulled Li Dongmei close to tidy up her somewhat disheveled hair.
Jiang WanYun was in her thirties, tall, voluptuous, mature, and beautiful, while Li Dongmei looked like a girl who had just turned eighteen, all bristly and blustery.
At this moment, as Jiang WanYun was fixing her hair, they looked like a mother and daughter.
However, Jiang WanYun and Li Dongmei had no blood relation. If anything, Jiang WanYun could be considered Li Dongmei’s mentor, or at least a half-mentor.
Jiang WanYun often guided Li Dongmei in her cultivation and also took care of her daily life.
Li Dongmei had also become a member of the Cultivator Administration Bureau under Jiang WanYun’s guidance.
Seeing that Li Dongmei finally calmed down and let herself be petted like a little kitten, a look of satisfaction and relief appeared on Jiang WanYun’s face.
“””But Li Dongmei suddenly said, “Let’s not talk about you becoming the Deputy Director, but why would you do… do that with that guy? What’s good about him? Someone like him is not worthy of you at all!” “””
Jiang WanYun’s expression immediately froze, and her hand stopped mid-air.
After a moment, Jiang WanYun spoke through the feeling of shame, “I infiltrated Ten Thousand Talisman Sect and was exposed. The Sect Master Ouyang Hao injured me and also injected me with an aphrodisiac. That’s why at the time, I had no choice but to be with Li Qianfan… Until now, the effects of the aphrodisiac haven’t worn off, so I can only maintain this kind of relationship with him.”
“How could this have happened, why didn’t you tell me sooner?” Li Dongmei said excitedly.
“What’s the point of telling you, could you help me counteract the aphrodisiac?” Jiang WanYun retorted.
Li Dongmei immediately felt embarrassed.
Jiang WanYun consoled, “Don’t worry, Li Qianfan just told me that he has made some progress in researching the antidote. It’s estimated that in a few more days he should be able to develop the antidote and fully neutralize the aphrodisiac in my body.”
“Once the aphrodisiac is neutralized, will you continue to… do that with him?” Li Dongmei hesitantly asked.
Jiang WanYun wanted to shake her head immediately and say firmly that she wouldn’t.
But the scene of Li Qianfan pressing on top of her and thrusting vigorously instantly flooded her mind, and that exhilarating feeling suddenly overwhelmed her heart.
“Aunt Jiang, you hesitated, you really…”
Li Dongmei hadn’t finished her sentence when Jiang WanYun, annoyed, interrupted her, “You’re very chatty tonight! I’m tired, I want to rest now, go back!”
Li Qianfan had already returned to Jinwanlong Hotel.
Liu Ruyan had not rested and was still waiting for him on the bed.
Seeing that Li Qianfan didn’t stay overnight at Jiang WanYun’s place and came back before midnight, Liu Ruyan showed a look of satisfaction.
“Tired?” Liu Ruyan asked.
“Not really.”
Li Qianfan crawled into the bed and said.
Liu Ruyan grabbed Li Qianfan’s thing and said while kneading it, “I thought Sister Jiang would drain you dry.”
“You know my capabilities,” Li Qianfan said proudly.
“So what are you waiting for?” Liu Ruyan smiled, her eyes seductive as she looked at Li Qianfan.
Li Qianfan gritted his teeth and circulated the Dragon and Phoenix Mystery Skill forcefully to rally his spirits and started attending to Liu Ruyan.
Luckily, Li Qianfan was a Martial Artist, and his core cultivation technique was the miraculous and overbearing Dual Cultivation Technique, the Dragon and Phoenix Mystery Skill, otherwise he definitely wouldn’t have been able to handle it!
Unconsciously, three days passed.
Li Qianfan still hadn’t developed the antidote, but Jiang WanYun was no longer as anxious as she was at the beginning. It seemed as if it no longer mattered whether the aphrodisiac was neutralized.
Meanwhile, the aphrodisiac in the bodies of Wang Lele and the other fifty-four women had completely dissipated after these few days.
So Li Qianfan took some time to be with them once more, as a farewell.
Afterwards, Chen Jianjun arranged for people to send Wang Lele and the other fifty-four women back to reunite with their families.
“The higher-ups have passed down an order, giving me a mission,” Liu Ruyan said.
“What mission?”
Li Qianfan, who was eating a steamed bun, looked towards Liu Ruyan, utterly confused.
