"Why didn’t you use protection?" Liu Shii looked at Xu Wendong in shock.
Earlier.
She had clearly taken out a condom for Xu Wendong to use.
Although Xu Wendong agreed.
However.
She hadn’t expected that condom to remain completely intact lying beside them.
Xu Wendong laughed, "I don’t like anything to stand between us, even if it’s just 0.01 milliters. It would hinder our souls from connecting!"
"But these days are my ovulation period!" Liu Shii gave Xu Wendong a resentful look.
Usually, it wouldn’t matter.
But now was a special ti.
However, since it had already happened.
She could only think of a way to avoid pregnancy.
She imdiately picked up her phone angrily and ordered a 72-hour ergency contraception pill on ituan, but Xu Wendong stopped her.
"Sis, there’s no need to buy the pills."
"If you really get pregnant, I’ll take care of you." Xu Wendong looked at her sincerely.
Liu Shii looked at him, bewildered.
They say the eyes are the windows to the soul.
She could feel that Xu Wendong ant what he said. This touched her, but she still asked, "You don’t mind that I’ve been married before?"
"Not at all!" Xu Wendong showed a shy smile, "I like won like you who’ve been married. Understanding, graceful, and caring."
"You’re annoying, I’m not talking to you anymore. I’ll sleep first." Liu Shii turned her back to him and soon fell into a deep sleep with a satisfied smile on her lips.
It was clear that she was very content tonight.
Xu Wendong sat cross-legged and began cultivating.
He was practicing the Dragon Phoenix Creation Technique, and each ti he dual cultivated with a woman, it brought benefits. This ti was no exception; he gained so True Qi in his Dantian.
However.
Relying on this True Qi alone to break through his current cultivation level was far from enough.
Fortunately, he had refined so Qi Refining Pills during the day.
He took out the elixirs and swallowed them.
Very soon.
He felt a warm current rising in his abdon, then surged through his ridians.
Initially, everything was under Xu Wendong’s control.
But as ti passed.
He started feeling overwheld.
There was a sense of tearing pain in his ridians.
"I underestimated the power of the Qi Refining Pill; I shouldn’t have taken so many at once!" Xu Wendong grimaced in pain, yet he stabilized his mind, enduring the effects of the dicine on his body.
By dawn, the pain subsided.
The effects of the elixirs all transford into True Qi stored in his Dantian.
Full.
As if it would overflow at any mont.
Taking a deep breath.
Xu Wendong controlled the True Qi, successfully breaking through his bottleneck to beco a master at the Sixth Level of Qi Refining Stage.
"The ancients did not deceive ."
"Cultivators wanting to grow stronger need wealth, companionship, techniques, and a place to cultivate. Especially wealth."
"If I didn’t have money, how could I procure so many ingredients for refining elixirs?"
Xu Wendong smiled charmingly.
These days, he was not short of money. Without ntioning other businesses, the Kyoto Xu Family alone brought him billions in inco annually.
Not to ntion, he was also the acknowledged leader of The Outer Eight Sects.
Whenever he needed resources, all wealth from The Outer Eight Sects would be at his disposal.
"It’s not too late yet!"
Xu Wendong glanced at the ti, dressed, covered Liu Shii with a blanket, and left the civil servants’ housing community.
It was already 2:00 AM.
The streets were pitch black.
Not a person or a single moving vehicle could be seen.
Xu Wendong flashed by like a ghost in the night, arriving at the sanatorium twenty minutes later, where Chen Guoan lived.
To Xu Wendong’s surprise, even though it was already 2:00 AM, Chen Guoan wasn’t asleep. He was in his study, writing sothing.
Knock knock!
Xu Wendong gently tapped on the window.
Hearing the sound, Chen Guoan looked outside and was stunned to see Xu Wendong. He apparently didn’t expect soone to show up in the middle of the night.
Without thinking much, he maneuvered his wheelchair to the window and opened it.
Xu Wendong climbed in through the window and couldn’t help but ask, "Uncle Chen, why aren’t you asleep so late?"
"I wish I could sleep, but... I just can’t." Chen Guoan smiled bitterly.
Learning he had an incurable disease, he cooperated with the doctors for treatnt while studying and writing down all his work experiences and insights.
To him, words were the eternal existence.
He had also gotten used to sleeping only four or five hours a day.
As a result.
Nowadays, he couldn’t sleep even if he wanted to.
Xu Wendong politely asked, "Can I look at what you’ve written?"
"Of course you can." Chen Guoan said, handing the notebook to Xu Wendong.
Xu Wendong went through it from the beginning, exclaiming, "No wonder my elder brother places so much hope on you. In this day and age, dedicated officials like you are few and far between."
Chen Guoan’s notes were all about public welfare and the constitution.
He suggested many constitutional andnts.
Such as the reimbursent rate for critical illnesses.
Issues with education in impoverished areas.
Raising children, caring for the elderly, and so forth.
If these issues could be improved.
It would definitely be beneficial for the common people.
These problems were all accumulated over a long ti.
Chen Guoan chuckled, "Being an official isn’t about wielding power but proposing reasonable suggestions, whether it’s about public welfare or constitutional matters!"
"Of course."
"Every citizen can also propose reasonable suggestions; only this way can our country move towards prosperity and strength."
"In my view, the existence of those in power is to amplify the citizens’ suggestions at suitable occasions!"
Xu Wendong nodded slightly, agreeing with Chen Guoan.
He shifted the topic, "Uncle Chen, let’s not talk about that now. I’ll help treat you! Let’s try to get you off the wheelchair and back to normal work as soon as possible."
Chen Guoan made a noise of assent, then lay on the bed with Xu Wendong’s help, accepting his treatnt.
This ti.
He clearly felt a change in his body, with the pain significantly lessening, leaving him feeling particularly relaxed.
However, he didn’t know.
The reason he felt so relaxed was that Xu Wendong had expended a large amount of True Qi.
Xu Wendong had just broken through, but now his True Qi was almost depleted again.
"What’s your opinion on the officialdom in Haicheng?" Chen Guoan casually asked.
Xu Wendong shrugged, "I just ca to Haicheng, so I don’t really understand the situation here."
Chen Guoan laughed and shook his head, "Not just you, even —working here for over a decade, I don’t understand the situation well, either."
Xu Wendong’s heart skipped a beat, "You’ve worked in Haicheng for so long and still don’t understand it? Is Haicheng really that complex?"
Chen Guoan’s gaze deepened, "I actually could have understood Haicheng, but just as I was about to, I was kicked out of Haicheng and sent to work elsewhere, gradually climbing to vice-provincial level."
Xu Wendong wore a look of resignation.
If Chen Guoan, working in Haicheng for so long, didn’t understand it, how long would it take for him to understand this city upon his arrival?
