115: Chapter 115 Call me next time there's something good, I'll do it for free.

Luo Yunkai's gaze flickered slightly, "Inspector Dou, can you elaborate?"

Uncle Dou Kuang was also straightforward, "Back when Fellow Daoist Jin was in danger, I received your distress signal and immediately set off."

Jin Yuchan's brows furrowed tightly; that was indeed what happened.

"You never showed up!"

"It was that guy Kong Yishui. I happened to run into him, and he ran over to tell me that you and the daughter of the City Lord of Dan City were in danger, having encountered Demonic Cultivators. He pointed the way, saying you had fled in the direction of the Foul-Smelling Swamp."

"As a result, I chased after you to the Foul-Smelling Swamp, but I didn't see Fellow Daoist Jin who had called for help at all. Instead, I encountered a Female Demonic Cultivator."

"The Female Demonic Cultivator started fighting the moment she saw me. I was anxious to find you, Fellow Daoist Jin, and accidentally fell into the Foul-Smelling Swamp. The smell hasn't gone away even after all these years."

"I was so angry that I even forgot you were still calling for help..."

Uncle Dou Kuang's expression froze for a moment before he continued nonchalantly, "I chased that Female Demonic Cultivator and fought her to the death. Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, she summoned four accomplices."

Jin Yuchan frowned slightly. Back then, it was indeed four demonic cultivators who ambushed her and Chen Shuangfei.

Kong Yishui appeared in time to help the two of them block the demonic cultivators, but he himself was seriously injured.

Just as Kong Yishui was about to use a technique of mutual destruction, the few demonic cultivators got scared and turned to leave.

So, they weren't scared; was it because the Female Demonic Cultivator being chased by Uncle Dou Kuang couldn't hold on anymore and recalled them?

If they hadn't been recalled, would those few people have destroyed her Foundation?

Uncle Dou Kuang: "When those four demonic cultivators came over, I kept them all there; only that Female Demonic Cultivator escaped."

"When I realized you were still in danger, Fellow Daoist Jin, I didn't pursue her. I went to look for you, but couldn't find you. When I came back, I heard that you had been saved by Kong Yishui."

Jin Yuchan's expression was very ugly, "Since Kong Yishui misled you, why didn't you say so?"

Uncle Dou Kuang rolled his eyes, "He wanted to play the hero saving the beauty to win her heart, which isn't a big deal. Besides, I saw that you two were flirting and involved, so if I had said something back then and it turned out you were both willing, I would have become the villain!"

Jin Yuchan was speechless.

Luo Yunkai secretly chuckled. Jin Yuchan's daily behavior was just too arrogant; otherwise, Uncle Dou Kuang wouldn't have kept his mouth shut.

"City Lord Jin, this favor from Inspector Dou to you is not small, right? The Foundation is not a trivial matter; it is comparable to a life-saving grace, is that not correct?"

Jin Yuchan's expression returned to normal, and she looked steadily at Luo Yunkai, "What do you want to say?"

Luo Yunkai felt guilty and didn't dare to look at Jin Yuchan. He seemingly lowered his voice, but in reality, everyone present could hear him with their Divine Sense.

"Inspector Dou, I will give you 100,000 Mid-Grade Spirit Stones."

Uncle Dou Kuang's eyes lit up instantly.

"Help you propose marriage to City Lord Jin."

The light in Uncle Dou Kuang's eyes extinguished instantly.

Jin Yuchan's gaze instantly became fierce.

Luo Yunkai sneered.

What's this? You, Jin Yuchan, are quite interesting. If someone is good-looking, it's 'repaying the life-saving grace with one's body,' but if they aren't good-looking, it's 'this young woman has no way to repay the life-saving grace, so I will be a beast of burden in the next life,' right!

Sigh, it's all because I'm too handsome!

Luo Yunkai closed his eyes and steeled his heart, "Fellow Daoist Dou, think about Kong Yishui. Think about how City Lord Jin grants him his every wish because of the life-saving grace!"

"If you marry Fellow Daoist Jin, you are marrying a Spirit Stone treasury!"

Uncle Dou Kuang was... wavering.

Jin Yuchan's face was dark, "From now on, you, Uncle Dou Kuang, will enjoy a 30% discount at Duobao Tower!"

Uncle Dou Kuang's eyes became clear.

Luo Yunkai continued to stir the pot, "Don't listen to her. Just say you want to marry her. She isn't just settling for a life-saving grace by offering herself; once she is yours, why pay any Spirit Stones for things at Duobao Tower? Just put it all on her tab!"

Uncle Dou Kuang's eyes began to glaze over again.

Jin Yuchan stared fixedly at Luo Yunkai; that gaze seemed like it wanted to slice him into a thousand pieces!

Luo Yunkai avoided her sharp gaze and dodged behind Uncle Dou Kuang, shifting all the pressure onto Uncle Dou Kuang.

A good man doesn't fight with a woman!

Jin Yuchan gritted her teeth, "Uncle Dou Kuang, 50% off!"

"This is my bottom line. Do not put on an act anymore!"

Uncle Dou Kuang retracted all expressions in a second, "Deal!"

Luo Yunkai raised an eyebrow and was about to speak again, but Jin Yuchan interrupted at the right moment, "Fugui cannot be an illegitimate child!"

Jin Yuchan looked coldly at Luo Yunkai, "I will not announce your relationship, and you are not allowed to let outsiders know either!"

Luo Yunkai sighed and nodded, "That is acceptable!"

As long as Jin Fugui acknowledges him, that is enough.

There is no need for the whole world to know.

Jin Yuchan snorted coldly and turned back to the City Lord's Mansion.

Uncle Dou Kuang looked at Luo Yunkai with a chuckle, "You gave me a great gift, so this time, I won't charge you for the Spirit Stones."

Luo Yunkai's mouth twitched, "Then Inspector Dou, you really are generous!"

Uncle Dou Kuang laughed heartily, "Easy to say, easy to say. Next time there is such a good thing, call me again. Rest assured, it's free!"

Amidst the hearty laughter, Uncle Dou Kuang's figure disappeared.

Luo Yunkai was speechless.

Feeling a very subtle, scrutinizing gaze, Luo Yunkai looked up.

It was Ancestor Hefeng.

Luo Yunkai immediately cupped his hands politely, "Senior Ancestor Hefeng, I have let you see something laughable."

Ancestor Hefeng stroked his beard and said quietly, "Young Friend Luo, you are truly in high demand."

Luo Yunkai revealed a smile that was awkward but polite, "It is all for the sake of the children; otherwise, someone like City Lord Jin would never look at me."

Ancestor Hefeng had an "I understand" expression, "Don't let Shuangfei know; she and City Lord Jin do not get along."

Luo Yunkai's eyes drifted, "Of course, of course."

Ancestor Hefeng had an "as expected" expression. He looked at Chen Xuanfeng, patted his shoulder, and said, "You also shouldn't snitch to your mother. You have seen it too; your father has it hard."

Chen Xuanfeng nodded heavily, "I know!"

Father has already been working very hard to refuse!

But who told her to have a hold on that fool Jin Fugui!

Chen Xuanfeng's eyes were still a bit dazed.

Who could have thought!

Jin Fugui is actually his brother!

Xiao Tian was already accustomed to his father's romantic escapades. Instead of thinking about this, it was better to be concerned about his brother.

"Old man, how is Big Brother Jin doing now? I heard that Aunt Jin found a medical cultivator? Did they manage to cure him?"

The relaxed expression on Luo Yunkai's face vanished instantly.

His heavy gaze swept over the three of them, and feeling the steady and powerful aura on the three, a flash of satisfaction crossed his eyes.

"Let's go down and talk."

In the blink of an eye, Luo Yunkai took his sons back to his private courtyard in the City Lord's Mansion.

From beginning to end, no Market Guard came to look for Luo Yunkai to demand Spirit Stones for the damaged buildings.

Not long after Luo Yunkai left, the buildings destroyed by his Lightning Tribulation were slowly recovering on their own.

Inside the private courtyard, Luo Yunkai did not activate the shielding Formation, openly letting a certain woman eavesdrop on their father-son conversation.

Ancestor Hefeng was also on the side, pricking up his ears.

"Fugui's situation is very bad; his Divine Soul is damaged. He can only be awake for one hour a day. If he cannot recover, his cultivation will stop here, and there is no possibility of further progress."

"And wanting to restore Fugui's Divine Soul is very difficult!"

The expressions of Xiao Tian and the others changed.

Luo Yunkai looked steadily at the four of them, "The only way is..."

"What way?" Xiao Tian asked anxiously.

"soul gathering grass!"

"No!"
