Chapter 7 – Brother Wei, Don’t Doubt Me, She Really Is My Girlfriend
“Is that so?”
Unfortunately, Xing Lingyun clearly didn’t believe Zhang Chen’s explanation.
She knew she was beautiful.
Whether it was before she fell and became a demon, when she was one of the Ten Yama Kings of the Demon-Slaying Division…
Or after she fell and became a monster…
She was always a stunning beauty capable of driving men mad.
And after turning into a monster, she’d gained an extra touch of seductive charm.
Even more alluring.
But!
Xing Lingyun didn’t believe it!
Would there really be such a fool in this world who’s so lustful he doesn’t even want his life?
“I’m not human anymore.”
Just this simple sentence from Xing Lingyun was proof she didn’t buy Zhang Chen’s words.
No matter how beautiful she was, she was still a monster!
A human being together with a monster would end up as a corpse in minutes!
Even if Xing Lingyun could try to restrain and control herself…
For ordinary people, the impact would still be considerable.
If Zhang Chen knew what she was thinking…
He’d definitely nod in agreement.
And then say, ‘There’s indeed no such fool… but I have a Xiantian Pure Yang Physique!’
Zhang Chen grinned slyly. “I’m someone who’s not picky about cold or hot.”
Xing Lingyun: “All right, whether you believe it or not, it all boils down to one thing.”
Zhang Chen put away his smile, his eyes gradually turning serious.
“Just one thing, or rather, consider it a deal between us!”
“I’ll help you gain a new identity. I can even give your sister a big chance to get out of that quagmire!”
“But of course, I want something in return. The price is you, Xing Lingyun!”
Zhang Chen spoke word by word: “I want you!”
“Isn’t it simple?”
“Of course, if you refuse, I’ll just turn around and leave. I won’t interfere in what happens next.”
A classic tactic of retreating in order to advance?
There’s no way Zhang Chen would let go of Xing Lingyun so easily!
She’s so beautiful, and her status is off the charts!
A powerful female lead!
What’s more, in Zhang Chen’s personal character settings…
Xing Lingyun was the cold-on-the-outside, warm-on-the-inside type.
Don’t be fooled by her cold and domineering appearance!
She’s a 100% tsundere.
But in reality, at her core, she’s extremely traditional.
Once you tame her…
She’s the textbook example of a virtuous wife and loving mother!
“Can’t let Ye Fan get a bargain here!”
Zhang Chen waited. Although he was seventy to eighty percent sure…
That he’d succeed.
He was still a little uneasy.
Fortunately.
He got the result he wanted.
Xing Lingyun was silent for about a minute.
Finally, she nodded.
“Fine, I agree. I hope you won’t regret it.”
Xing Lingyun’s eyes carried a trace of mockery and cold amusement.
In her eyes, Zhang Chen’s thoughts were laughable, basically asking for death.
Regret?
A faint smile flashed across Zhang Chen’s face. He guessed what Xing Lingyun meant by ‘regret’.
In his heart, he chuckled sneakily: Xing Lingyun, oh Xing Lingyun… you have no idea how terrifying a Xiantian Pure Yang Physique is.
There was no contract, nor any so-called binding agreement.
Both sides silently acknowledged this verbal deal.
Xing Lingyun didn’t care.
Zhang Chen wasn’t bothered.
For something like this, a written contract was a piece of scrap paper. Could it bind a monster?
As for an actual binding pact…
He wasn’t Ye Fan. He didn’t have some ancestral treasure that could suppress monsters.
So a verbal agreement was enough.
He was confident that he could make Xing Lingyun willingly submit.
Since the two of them had reached an agreement…
Zhang Chen naturally wanted to show his sincerity.
And he’d already thought about what to do.
Looking at Director Wei, who was still unconscious on the ground from Xing Lingyun’s powerful demonic aura…
Zhang Chen casually asked, “They shouldn’t have seen your true face, right?”
Who knew…
Xing Lingyun fell silent immediately, and this result told Zhang Chen everything.
“Forget it, so what if they’ve seen it? A little troublesome, but not unsolvable.”
Xing Lingyun frowned slightly, a trace of curiosity flashing in her eyes.
“What are you planning?”
In her view, even if Zhang Chen’s backer was the Zhang family of Jiangdong…
Their power was immense, but wanting to help her was still a pipe dream.
Even though they now had a verbal agreement, she still didn’t believe him.
The Demon-Slaying Division held a very special status, different from other government offices.
Zhang Chen squatted down and checked Director Wei’s condition.
Just unconscious, no life-threatening injuries.
Then he said, “I have my ways. Since I promised you, I’ll definitely do it.”
And Zhang Chen’s approach…
What happened next truly surprised Xing Lingyun.
Because according to Zhang Chen’s request, he didn’t choose to silence witnesses.
Nor did he destroy the corpses and erase the evidence.
Instead, he asked Xing Lingyun to lift the demonic aura on Director Wei and the others.
As for what this would lead to, Xing Lingyun knew very well.
So she hesitated.
Zhang Chen knew what she was worried about, and smiled faintly. “If I wanted to harm you, I wouldn’t need to go through all this trouble.”
Xing Lingyun thought carefully.
It was indeed so.
In the end, she nodded. With a casual wave, Zhang Chen saw a faint purple aura dissipate from Director Wei’s body.
The same applied to the other Demon-Slaying Division operatives lying in the ward.
They were all demon-slayers from the Jiangdong Branch.
Under Director Wei’s command.
They had previously discovered Xing Lingyun’s whereabouts and were preparing to take action to execute her.
Who knew they’d kick a steel plate instead.
“Your method is rather special.”
Zhang Chen smiled when he saw Xing Lingyun easily control and retrieve her demonic aura.
Even among monsters, Xing Lingyun was special.
She used to be a demon-slayer of the Demon-Slaying Division.
Even one of the Ten Yama Kings!
That explained why the operatives of the Jiangdong Branch were completely powerless before her.
After all, she was too familiar with the Demon-Slaying Division’s methods and mentality!
That said.
The process was actually simple.
Before long.
Zhang Chen saw Director Wei and the demon-slaying operatives of the Jiangdong Branch gradually regain consciousness.
From the order in which they woke up, it was clear—
The stronger the person, the faster they woke.
As the director of the Jiangdong Branch, Wei Bai quickly regained consciousness first.
“Brother Zhang? Why are you here?”
When he woke up, the first person he saw was Zhang Chen.
Director Wei’s face was full of surprise, and then he immediately remembered what had happened before he passed out.
His expression changed!
Especially when he caught sight of the person standing behind Zhang Chen at a glance!
A stunningly beautiful woman, enchanting yet with an icy, distant expression.
Combined with the silhouette he’d seen before fainting…
Director Wei’s expression changed dramatically.
“Brother Zhang, watch out! Behind you…”
Zhang Chen had long anticipated this.
Xing Lingyun remained expressionless, but she was also curious how Zhang Chen would handle this.
Everyone in the Jiangdong Branch of the Demon-Slaying Division had seen her face.
Even though she’d now reverted to her human form, her appearance hadn’t changed much.
How could they possibly not recognize her?
But Zhang Chen wasn’t flustered at all. He watched as one of Director Wei’s eyes turned blood-red on instinct.
He spoke calmly: “Brother Wei, thank goodness my girlfriend was here. Otherwise, the consequences would’ve been unimaginable.”
That one sentence.
Completely stunned Director Wei.
Director Wei: “Brother Zhang, what do you mean by that?”
Xing Lingyun also glanced at Zhang Chen but didn’t seem to mind him taking advantage of her verbally.
Zhang Chen chuckled and said, “I came back to the hospital earlier for some personal matters, and I happened to notice something wrong on this floor. I didn’t expect to see you in danger, Brother Wei. Fortunately, my girlfriend made a move and killed the monster that appeared in the hospital. Otherwise, who knows what might’ve happened!”
Listening to Zhang Chen’s serious nonsense…
Xing Lingyun almost couldn’t help but laugh.
She knew exactly what had happened!
Director Wei’s face was full of confusion. He looked at Zhang Chen.
Then looked at Xing Lingyun standing behind Zhang Chen.
He asked blankly, “She… she’s your…”
“My girlfriend. Oh, and by the way, she’s an expert in this field, just like you guys.”
Zhang Chen smiled and nodded.
Lying through his teeth without batting an eye, and even making it sound convincing.
In short, he told Director Wei…
The monster that had ambushed him earlier had already been killed!
The one who did it was Xing Lingyun.
And Xing Lingyun was his girlfriend.
He spoke so confidently, leaving no room for doubt.
No matter how suspicious Director Wei felt deep down, what else could he do at this point?
He could only accept it, bewildered and half-believing.
“So… so it’s my sister-in-law… I thought just now…”
Director Wei’s old face flushed. He laughed awkwardly, a bit embarrassed.
To say he had no doubts would be a lie, but he had no proof.
Besides…
Zhang Chen smiled and said, “Brother Wei, you’re not suspecting my girlfriend is a monster, are you?”
Director Wei laughed even more awkwardly and quickly denied it.
Of course not.
How could she be a monster?
Humans and monsters couldn’t coexist!
If she were a monster, how could she be standing calmly behind Zhang Chen?
Director Wei shook his head vigorously, thinking he was overthinking things.
What do you think?
