Jiang Xinghai's original plan was to eradicate the entire underworld within the next two days.
This was to clear any obstacles for the Shen Family's ascension to a First-class Clan the day after tomorrow.
But now that he thought about it, the underworld existed for a reason.
Even if he completely eradicated it now, another force would just rise up in the near future.
If he brought Wind Leopard over to his side, he would only need to purge and reform so of the underworld's unreasonable rules. It would give him a force in the shadows that could help maintain the Shen Family's influence.
He wasn't going to stay in Jizhou forever.
That way, when he eventually left, he could rest assured that the Shen Family's position in Jizhou would not be threatened.
"Xinghai, since Wind Leopard has admitted he was wrong, maybe you could give him a chance," Shen Lingyin said suddenly, a grin spreading across her face.
It seed she'd had the sa idea as Jiang Xinghai.
Feng Lulu nodded as well. "Xinghai, there's no need to always resort to fighting and killing, you know."
"Alright then."
Jiang Xinghai nodded slowly. "Clean up this ss. We're getting ready to leave."
He then rose to his feet, the two young won beside him doing the sa.
"Thank you, Brother Hai!"
Wind Leopard scrambled to his feet, as giddy as a child who'd just been given candy. "Brother Hai, should we just kill these little bastards and be done with it?"
Hearing this, Song Chao and the others nearly fainted, their eyes all turning to Jiang Xinghai in a desperate plea.
Jiang Xinghai gave a dismissive wave. "Let them live."
It was a request from the birthday girl, Feng Lulu, and he didn't have the heart to refuse her.
If it were up to him, they wouldn't have been allowed to live.
"Thank you, Brother Jiang!"
"You're the most honorable man I know, Brother Jiang!"
"Brother Jiang, you're my hero!"
The three of them—Song Chao, Wang Fei, and Niu Xiaoli—wept with tears of joy.
"However, these three have depraved characters and malicious hearts. Beat them until not even their own parents would recognize them."
With that, Jiang Xinghai led the two young won out of the private room.
The Thirty-Six Celestial Spirits standing outside imdiately parted to clear a path for them.
Instantly, the sounds of wailing and sobbing erupted from within the room.
Outside in the hall, Wind Leopard hurried to catch up. "Brother Hai, where are we going?"
Jiang Xinghai turned to Feng Lulu. "Lulu, it's your birthday, but so many unpleasant things have happened. So, you tell . Where do you want to go next? As long as it makes you happy, I'm all yours for the rest of the night."
"Really?"
Feng Lulu was indeed feeling a bit down. "In that case, let's go stargazing on Luolin Mountain."
"Yay! I haven't been there in ages," Shen Lingyin chid in, clapping her hands.
"Then it's settled. We'll head over right away," Jiang Xinghai said with a serious expression. "But before we go, you two should call your families so they don't worry."
Feng Lulu and Shen Lingyin imdiately took out their phones to call ho.
Jiang Xinghai, anwhile, turned to Wind Leopard. "The reason you decided to follow ... it has to do with the Ma Family, doesn't it?"
"Yes. Ma Long's father, Ma Tiebing," Wind Leopard said with a firm nod. "If he hadn't given so guidance, I'd be a dead man right now."
Earlier, he had been knocked out by a single punch from Jiang Xinghai and then tossed into a car trunk by Ma Long.
When Ma Long had to rush back to his family for so urgent business, he had tossed Wind Leopard out.
For so reason, when Ma Tiebing learned that Wind Leopard had provoked Jiang Xinghai, he had taken the initiative to offer him advice.
Wind Leopard understood he only had two choices: follow Jiang Xinghai or die.
'Ma Tiebing...'
Jiang Xinghai seed to recall the na. It had been ntioned by his Second Senior Sister, Zhong Yunman.
His Second Senior Sister, Zhong Yunman, was a Three-star General in the War Departnt!
'Could it be that this Ma Tiebing is also part of the War Departnt?'
"Xinghai, my sister wants to talk to you," Shen Lingyin said, walking over with a smile and handing him her phone.
Jiang Xinghai took the phone, turning slightly to the side with a smile. "President Shen, what can I do for you?"
"Xinghai, I..."
Shen Lingxue sounded embarrassed and hesitant, the words on the tip of her tongue, but she didn't seem to know how to begin.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Xinghai could hear her holding back.
"You know how I had to leave in a hurry earlier? And I said it was because I got my period?"
Shen Lingxue forced herself to continue, her voice barely a whisper, "Well, I found out later... it wasn't that."
"Oh?" A grin suddenly spread across Jiang Xinghai's face.
'Is Shen Lingxue trying to send a signal?'
'Does that an, tonight, we could...?'
"But... there's been a lot of discharge," Shen Lingxue's voice was now so quiet it was almost inaudible. "That's never happened to before."
She had never discussed sothing like this with any man before; it was mortifying.
She only managed to summon the courage to ask by thinking of Jiang Xinghai as a doctor.
A thought seed to occur to Jiang Xinghai. He walked a few steps away for privacy before asking, "Lingxue, how many days has it been since we were... intimate?"
"Thirteen days," Shen Lingxue replied with a precise number.
How could she ever forget the day she had truly beco a woman?
Jiang Xinghai grinned. "How about this? I'll give you a check-up when I get back."
He was certain that, ever since he began practicing the Dragon-locking Secret Technique, there was no possibility of an "accident" with any of the won he had been with.
"Jiang Xinghai!"
Suddenly, Shen Lingxue's voice beca tense and rushed, dropping to a low whisper. "Could I... could I be... pregnant?"
