After returning to Ling Corporation, Ye Luo had stayed in his office, beginning to study the Star of God.

"If I absorb the spiritual energy from this Spirit Stone, I might have the chance to break through all the meridian acupoints and ascend to the Innate Realm."

Entering the Innate Realm was extremely tempting for any Martial Artist, and Ye Luo, looking at the Star of God in his hand, had his eyes flickering with barely contained excitement.

Unfortunately, he didn’t have time at the moment, otherwise, he would have been eager to start absorbing the energy from the Star of God right away. Because the absorption of energy from the Star of God was certainly not as simple as sitting around and wanting it—it definitely wasn’t feasible here.

At the same time, Ye Luo was also thinking about when he might have another chance to obtain such Spirit Stones. Perhaps then his strength could grow even faster. The Innate was just the beginning of his martial path!

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Ye Luo felt bored and walked out of the office, starting to stroll around.

"Hei Zi, where’s Hu Zi? Why haven’t I seen him around?"

Ye Luo’s gaze shifted towards Hei Zi and he couldn’t help asking, but he didn’t see a trace of Hu Zi.

"Vice Chief Ye, something happened to Hu Zi’s family, so he went back home."

Hei Zi looked at Ye Luo and said, a tinge of gloom flickering in his eyes.

Ye Luo caught that glint of gloom and directly asked, "What happened to Hu Zi’s family?"

"Hu Zi’s father has become seriously ill; his condition has been getting worse these past few days."

"Have you visited the hospital?"

"Yes, they say it’s liver cancer, and it’s basically incurable."

Hei Zi said this and deeply sighed.

"Liver cancer!"

Ye Luo’s expression narrowed slightly, his eyes flashing an unusual light.

"When I have time, take me to Hu Zi’s place. I might have a way to save his father."

"Really? Vice Chief Ye, do you know medical skills?"

Hei Zi looked at Ye Luo with a face full of astonishment.

"Of course, I am known as a Divine Doctor."

Ye Luo said proudly.

Hei Zi looked at Ye Luo with a hint of skepticism. Naturally, it’s hard for anyone to believe that Ye Luo could cure liver cancer, which is associated with little hope of recovery. Thus, a normal person would not be easily convinced.

Seeing Hei Zi’s skeptical look, Ye Luo knew that he didn’t believe him, but he didn’t mind and just said, "If you don’t believe it, forget it."

Afterwards, Ye Luo left directly.

In the blink of an eye, it was already past five o’clock in the afternoon, and Ling Corporation had closed for the day, but Ye Luo didn’t leave. He remembered that tonight he had to accompany Ling Qingya to a banquet hosted by the Mingzhu Group.

Soon, Ye Luo saw Ling Qingya coming out dressed in a professional suit, her expression as cold as ever, giving off a vibe that kept people at arm’s length.

"President, are we going right now to the banquet?"

Ye Luo looked at Ling Qingya with a smile.

"To my home!"

Ling Qingya said decisively.

"What? To your home?"

Ye Luo said with a somewhat surprised expression.

Meanwhile, Ling Qingya had already walked out, and Ye Luo hurriedly followed.

Only when Ye Luo arrived at a luxurious villa district following Ling Qingya’s directions did he realize that Ling Qingya did not live with the Ling Family but on her own.

The car stopped outside a villa filled with European style, the iron gates automatically opened, and the car drove in.

"Isn’t this supposed to be a banquet? Why are we here?"

Ye Luo got out of the car and looked at the villa in front of him, filled with confusion.

"Do I really wear this to the banquet?"

Ling Qingya cast a cold glance at Ye Luo.

"This outfit is very nice, very charming, mature, and elegant."

Ye Luo glanced at the clothes on Ling Qingya’s body and felt they looked great.

Ling Qingya ignored Ye Luo and walked inside, while he took the opportunity to follow her, curious to see what this place where Ling Qingya lived looked like.

As he entered the villa, Ye Luo saw that the decor was very refined, with a simple style, but the furniture and fixtures were all imported.

Ye Luo immediately sat down on the soft sofa, the air filled with a light fragrance.

"Huh, what’s the scent of this perfume? It smells really good."

Ye Luo, with his sensitive nose, sniffed around and quickly noticed the scent was coming from the sofa beneath him. He leaned down and smelled the sofa, and sure enough, that was it.

"Qingya, you’re back."

Just then, a crisp voice rang out, causing Ye Luo to freeze in his expression.

Could it be, there’s someone else in this villa???

In an instant, a beautiful figure appeared in front of Ye Luo.

Five feet five inches tall, a pair of bright eyes, skin as delicate as a porcelain doll, a cute nose, cherry lips, definitely a youthful face. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Ye Luo’s eyes met with the stranger’s for a brief 0.01 seconds, when the stunning beauty in front of him let out a sharp scream.

"Pervert, jerk, shameless, despicable!"

The beauty glared at Ye Luo in a fit of rage, her already large eyes widening with a mix of bashfulness and intense anger.

"How did I become indecent? How am I a pervert, shameless, despicable?"

Ye Luo looked back at her, utterly bewildered. Wasn’t it just a glance at her? She looked at me too; it’s not like she’s at a loss either. If anything, doesn’t that make us equally shameless?

"Humph, you shameless, indecent jerk, you actually stooped down to sniff where I was sitting? Tell me, aren’t you shameless!?"

The beauty said, her delicate skin flushed red, her eyes fiercely glaring at Ye Luo.

At that moment, Ye Luo realized that the fragrance he smelled was this girl’s body scent. It seemed she was aware of her own unique scent and that others had likely done similar things before, right?

"It’s just a misunderstanding. I’m not that depraved. Besides, I didn’t know you before. If you hadn’t come out, I wouldn’t have even known that was your fragrance."

Ye Luo’s lips curved into a mischievous smile as he looked at her.

"You’re lying!"

As Ye Luo said this, the girl immediately threw a punch at him.

Slap!

Ye Luo quickly caught her arm, and with a pull, she found herself sitting in his embrace, her hands firmly grasped by him.

"Jerk, let go of me, let go!"

The exceptional beauty called out in anger and embarrassment, while inwardly thinking, could it be that today she would fall into his hands?

No way, she hadn’t even properly enjoyed being in love, and now she was going to be ’that’? How did this jerk even get in here? Oh my God!

But this guy seems quite good-looking, and although his character seems questionable, he’s very strong... maybe it wouldn’t be such a loss after all...
