Chapter 126: 124. Executing Manager Gao (Bonus Chapter)

124. Executing Manager Gao (Bonus Chapter)

After the meal, Chen An went to the room again to find Shen Qingyi.

However, this time, before he even reached the door, Shen Qingyi's voice came from inside: "Alchemist Chen, I am going into seclusion for the next half month. If you want to be intimate, go find your wives and concubines."

The voice was very calm, without any dissatisfaction.

Chen An still felt a bit worried, so he stopped in front of the door and asked: "Fellow Daoist Shen, if you have any troubles, feel free to tell me. Perhaps I can help you resolve them."

"No need, I just want to be alone in my room and have some peace."

Shen Qingyi's voice came from the room again, just as calm as before, without the slightest ripple of emotion.

Seeing that she had said as much, Chen An did not want to make a nuisance of himself and stopped bothering her.

Over the next few days.

Shen Qingyi stayed in her room behind closed doors.

Chen An did not disturb her; during this time, he never used his Divine Sense to peek at her, letting her have her peace.

This day.

Morning.

Chen An had just finished breakfast and intended to go to the Alchemy Room to refine pills and earn money.

Just as he opened the door to the Alchemy Room to enter, the voice of his eldest daughter, Chen Yuejian, came from behind him: "Daddy, I've finished practicing Qi intake; will you take me for Sword Flight?"

"Let's go, Daddy will take you flying."

Chen An was already used to it; he closed the Alchemy Room door he had just opened and, smiling, went with his eldest daughter to the courtyard outside to take her for Sword Flight.

More than two quarters of an hour later.

The Sword Flight ended.

Chen An had just put away the Flying Boat Sword beneath his feet when several notification messages suddenly popped up in front of him out of thin air.

【You took your daughter Chen Yuejian for Sword Flight, allowing her to relax during her tedious Qi intake practice. Affection +1, Sword Flight proficiency +2.】

【Name: Chen Yuejian】

【Cultivation: None】

【Attributes: Clever and bright, exceptional comprehension】

【Affection: 3 stars (500/2500)】

【Your father-daughter affection with Chen Yuejian has broken through 3 stars. Reward: Dharma Spell, "Memory Erasure Technique".】

Chen An had not yet fully reacted to the many notification messages that had suddenly popped up before him.

The next instant, a tidal wave of unfamiliar memories surged over, thrusting deep into his brain, churning back and forth, and remaining there forever as memories.

These were the memories regarding the "Memory Erasure Technique".

【Memory Erasure Technique: Entry (1/100)】

【Memory Erasure Technique: Using this Dharma Spell, you can target and erase a portion of a living being's memories. It is only effective on living beings whose cultivation realm is not higher than your own.】

Erasing memories?

This powerful?

Chen An became excited at once.

He looked at Chen Yuejian in front of him and, without a teacher, instinctively used the "Memory Erasure Technique" on her, erasing the memory of the flight she had just finished from her mind.

The next second, Chen Yuejian blinked her large, watery eyes and said: "Daddy, I've finished practicing Qi intake; will you take me for Sword Flight?"

Upon hearing this, Chen An knew that his "Memory Erasure Technique" had taken effect.

This is a divine skill!

In the future, if any secrets are discovered, there will be no need to risk killing to silence someone; just one shot of the "Memory Erasure Technique" and it's done.

Soon, Chen An took Chen Yuejian for another round of Sword Flight.

After finishing, he put away the Flying Boat Sword and walked toward Shen Qingyi's room.

The reason Shen Qingyi had been so depressed lately was all because she had seen Manager Gao committing evil in the alleyway that day, yet she had been unable to act to punish the wicked and eliminate evil.

As long as this part of her memory could be erased, this problem could be solved.

That was what Chen An had originally thought.

But when he was about to reach Shen Qingyi's door.

He stopped his steps.

After thinking about it, using the "Memory Erasure Technique" on Shen Qingyi would treat the symptoms but not the root cause; it would be better for her to walk out on her own.

In the blink of an eye.

Two days passed.

This day was the day the Red Fire Gang sent a Manager to collect the Protection Fee, and it was also the day his second daughter turned half a month old.

Chen An woke up early from bed, intending to wash up and go to the Alchemy Room to refine pills and earn money.

He was just putting on his clothes to get out of bed.

Suddenly, a shocking notification message popped up before his eyes.

【Your daughter Chen Yike has learned to crawl. Reward: Thirty years of cultivation.】

【Name: Chen An】

【Cultivation: Foundation Establishment, 5th Layer】

"?"

A question mark appeared over Chen An's head.

What is going on?

Isn't his second daughter only half a month old?

How did she learn to crawl?

Chen An was shocked inside and hurried toward Wen Zhiyun's room.

A moment later, he pushed open Wen Zhiyun's door with a thought, and was instantly stunned by the scene before his eyes.

He saw that his second daughter, only half a month old, had already woken up early and was crawling around the room all by herself without crying or making a fuss.

Meanwhile, her mother, Wen Zhiyun, was still lying on the bed sleeping soundly, completely unaware that her precious daughter had already crawled off the bed.

"Ya ya ya!"

Seeing the room door open.

Chen Yike immediately crawled out of the room using her hands and feet.

Her crawling speed was extremely fast.

So fast that before Chen An could even react, she had already crawled right between his legs.

"Damn, this kid!"

"She's cheating!"

At this moment, Chen An was truly shocked by his second daughter.

She could crawl at only half a month old!

And she was crawling incredibly fast!

This was simply a genius among geniuses!

Thinking this, he hurriedly carried his second daughter back into the room and shook Wen Zhiyun awake on the bed, saying, "Zhiyun, wake up quickly, look at little Chen Yike, she actually learned to crawl!"

Wen Zhiyun woke up groggily, and when she saw her precious daughter crawling around on the floor, and crawling so fast, she was completely bewildered.

What is going on?

How did little Chen Yike suddenly learn to crawl?!

"Ya ya ya!"

Chen Yike crawled to her mother's feet and circled around her, seemingly wanting her mother to hold her.

However, Wen Zhiyun was too excited at this moment to notice her daughter's needs, and she immediately ran out of the room to wake the others, telling them to come and see this astonishing scene.

Soon, Gu Xinyue and the mother-daughter pair Song Huaying were all brought over by Wen Zhiyun.

When they saw Chen Yike crawling around on the floor so quickly, Gu Xinyue and Song Huaying were both shocked, and they raised their hands to rub their eyes in unison, thinking they were hallucinating.

Chen Yuejian did not know what it meant for her younger sister to be able to crawl at only half a month old.

Seeing her sister crawling so fast, she hurriedly and happily went over to play with her.

"Oh my god, Sister Wen, how did little Chen Yike do this? She is clearly only half a month old, how did she learn to crawl, and how is she crawling so fast!"

Song Huaying said with an expression of disbelief.

Gu Xinyue looked at Chen An and said excitedly, "Husband, little Chen Yike is crawling so fast, this is amazing!"

On the other side.

Shen Qingyi was still feeling depressed in the room next door.

After hearing the commotion coming from next door, she could not help but leave her room to join in the excitement.

When she saw Chen Yike crawling around quickly in Wen Zhiyun's room.

Even though she was knowledgeable and experienced, she was completely stunned at this moment.

A child only half a month old had actually learned to crawl?

And looking at it, she was crawling faster than she could run?

Is this that absurd?!

Shen Qingyi's face was filled with disbelief.

Seeing her standing at the door, Chen An walked over naturally and wrapped his arms around her slender waist, saying in a gentle voice, "Fellow Daoist Shen, have you finally finished your seclusion?"

"Mm."

Shen Qingyi gave a simple response, her gaze fixed entirely on Chen Yike in the room, letting Chen An hold her.

Looking at the shapely Shen Qingyi, perhaps because he had not touched her for nearly half a month, Chen An suddenly felt a strong desire to be intimate with her.

Just as he was about to express his needs.

The voice of Manager Gao suddenly came from the lane outside the house.

"Residents of South Lane, get the Protection Fee ready and come out, it's time to pay, don't make me come and urge you one by one!"

Upon hearing this shout.

Chen An said to his wives and daughter, "I'm going out to pay the Protection Fee, I'll be back soon."

However, no one paid him any mind.

At this moment, the attention of his wives and daughter was entirely captured by Chen Yike crawling around on the floor.

Seeing this, Chen An smiled helplessly, then turned and walked out of the house.

Seeing this, Shen Qingyi also followed and said, "Alchemist Chen, I will go out with you."

Soon, both of them arrived and stood in front of the courtyard gate, waiting for Manager Gao to come and collect the money.

At this time, Manager Gao was collecting money in front of the house of the Talisman Maker who had sold his wife to save his own life that day, and right in front of the man, he was unceremoniously taking liberties with his wife, committing all sorts of acts in front of the husband.

Yet even so, this Talisman Maker could only greet him with a smile, and even wanted to invite him inside to toy with his wife.

At this scene, Shen Qingyi felt both physically and mentally uncomfortable, and for a moment wanted to draw her sword to kill.

But in the end, reason overcame her urge to punish evil and do good, and she held back from taking action.

"Daddy, Sister Shen, what are you doing here?"

Chen Yuejian walked out of the room at some point and asked curiously as she approached.

Seeing this, Chen An hurriedly urged his daughter to go back inside and stay there, and not to come outside.

However, before he could send his daughter back into the house, Manager Gao walked over toward him.

"Alchemist Chen, pay up!"

"Manager Gao, here."

Chen An handed over 3 Middle-grade Spirit Stones with a friendly expression.

Manager Gao took the Spirit Stones, looked down at Chen Yuejian hiding behind Chen An, and said with a smile, "Alchemist Chen, your daughter is quite something; she looks like a budding beauty and will surely be very beautiful when she grows up."

"I'll take your kind words, Manager Gao."

Chen An replied with a polite smile.

At this moment, Manager Gao's gaze fell upon Shen Qingyi.

At this time, Shen Qingyi was not wearing the tight-fitting outfit she liked to wear when going out, but rather a loose white silk robe, which perfectly displayed her graceful and curvaceous figure.

Manager Gao was somewhat dazed; he had never seen a female cultivator with such an alluring figure as Shen Qingyi, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva as he said, "Alchemist Chen, if you let your wife serve me for five days every month, I can recommend you to join the Red Fire Gang and become a full-time alchemist..."

"... Clang!"

Before Manager Gao could finish his sentence, Shen Qingyi drew her sword instantly upon hearing this, glaring angrily at Manager Gao.

She wanted to hack the Manager Gao before her to pieces.

But she was also afraid of implicating Chen An's family.

Thus, the sword remained gripped in her hand, unable to be swung down.

Shen Qingyi had suddenly drawn her sword, and Manager Gao was startled at first.

He had not expected Shen Qingyi's sword-drawing speed to be so fast, so fast that he hadn't been able to react in time.

But soon, he calmed down.

Relying on his status as a manager of the Red Fire Gang, he said with a fearless expression:

"Hoh, quite a temper you have."

"What?"

"Want to hack me?"

"Do you dare to hack?"

"If you dare to hack down, I guarantee that you and this cute daughter of yours will be sent into the Pleasure Pavilion by the next day."

Manager Gao looked completely unperturbed.

Shen Qingyi was very furious, but the sword held in her hand could not be swung down.

She did not want to seek a moment's gratification only to cause Chen An's family to be destroyed.

However, to her surprise, Chen An, who had always urged her to learn patience, suddenly said to her with a gloomy expression: "Fellow Daoist Shen, hack him."

"You... what did you say?"

Shen Qingyi thought she had misheard.

Chen An repeated: "Use the sword in your hand and hack this beast."

"But, wouldn't this..."

"Hack him, I will handle the aftermath."

Chen An said with an increasingly gloomy expression.

Seeing that Chen An seemed to be serious, Shen Qingyi said no more, looked at Manager Gao in front, and slowly raised the sword in her hand.

Manager Gao panicked and wanted to flee, but his body had been immobilized by Chen An's Immobilization Technique, and he couldn't move at all.

Seeing that Shen Qingyi's sword was about to be raised to its highest point to strike down, Manager Gao warned with a terrified expression:

"There are so many people watching here; if you two dare to kill me, I guarantee you won't live past tomor..."

"... Swish!"

Before Manager Gao could finish his sentence, Shen Qingyi hacked off his head with one strike.

When this sword strike fell, the surrounding residents were all stunned.

This... they actually really hacked him?!
