Chapter: 157

Qin Gang scolded: "Stop talking nonsense or I'll break your dog leg!"

"Is what you said to Qin Gang true, Ye Chen?"

Xiao Changkun was puzzled, wondering if his daughter-in-law's husband had become a con artist.

Ye Chen chuckled and said, "Well, it's half-true and half-false. As a trickster in the jianghu world, I do like to spin some yarns!"

After hearing this, Xiao Changkun was shocked and scolded, "What did you say? You're not even afraid of deceiving Qin family, and you received that precious necklace from them! What if you get caught when you try to run away? Won't you bring shame to our family?"

Ye Chen shrugged and said, "If things don't go well in the future, I'll just return the necklace. In a law-abiding society, they can't kill me for it, can they?"

Xiao Changkun let out a sigh, clearly worried but couldn't think of any other solution, so he had to take a chance and see if Ye Chen's jianghu tricks would actually work.

After returning home, Ye Chen entered his bedroom and took out the "Ping'an Fugui" stone he had received from Zhang Ermao.

Just then, Ye Chen suddenly felt a surge of energy pouring into his body through the stone.

He immediately felt a warm sensation, and his entire chest and abdomen felt incredibly comfortable.

Before long, layers of sweat mixed with black impurities were excreted from his body, leaving him feeling extremely relaxed.

Just a moment later, Ye Chen felt an energy coursing through his body.

This was the Qi!

Looking at the stone again, Ye Chen found that it had absorbed the Qi and now seemed like ordinary stone.

Ye Chen tried to cultivate the Qi using the methods recorded in the "Nine Heaven Celestial Canon", but he couldn't extract any out of it.

Ye Chen could only put the stone back into his pocket, feeling that this thing was unusual, but since he couldn't research it further, he would just have to wait until he had improved enough to say anything about it.

Feeling sticky all over, Ye Chen quickly ran off to take a shower. By the time he finished bathing, it was already around 5:30 in the afternoon.

His wife, Xiu Ru, called him on the phone.

On the phone, Xiu Ru told Ye Chen that she was discussing project details at the Emperor's Group and that the BMW 760 he had bought for her was now limited to a 520, so since she didn't have a car, she wanted Ye Chen to drive his father-in-law's 530 to the Emperor's Group to pick her up.

Wife's call, Ye Chen didn't dare to resist naturally.

Then he immediately found his father-in-law's car keys and drove to the Emperor's Group building downstairs.

After arriving at the lobby, Ye Chen took out his phone and called Xiu Ru over.

Xiu Ru didn't answer, but quickly replied with a WeChat message.

"Ye Chen, I'm still discussing project details with the team here. Wait for me down there for a bit, okay? You're working too hard."

"Yeah, I'll wait downstairs for you." JrNovels.com
