8: Chapter 8 Who gave you permission to wear the "temptation of the system"? Sir, please have some self-respect!

Boom—!

As the Snake Demon's Inner Core entered his stomach...

Su Yang felt as if he had swallowed a small nuclear bomb.

Violent, scorching energy instantly exploded in his stomach, surging wildly through his Meridians into every part of his body.

"Holy crap! This kick is huge?!"

Su Yang's face instantly flushed red, veins popped on his forehead, and his skin turned as red as a cooked shrimp, even beginning to emit wisps of white steam.

This was the essence of a three-hundred-year-old Snake Demon.

For the current Su Yang, it was indeed a bit "too much to handle."

That feeling was like countless balls of fire burning inside him, leaving his throat parched as if he were about to be melted down entirely.

"Hot... so hot..."

Su Yang ripped off his security guard uniform, revealing a lean, sculpted Physique.

But at this moment, those muscles were trembling violently, radiating incredible heat.

"Master!"

Su Qingcheng, standing nearby, was startled by the sight.

She could feel that the Yang Qi within Su Yang's body had reached a point of extreme violence.

If it wasn't guided and vented in time, he might explode and die!

"Master, quick! Let me help you!"

Without any hesitation, Su Qingcheng pressed her graceful body directly against him.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—

When Su Qingcheng's skin, cold as jade, touched Su Yang's scorching body, it actually made a sound like cold water being poured onto a red-hot iron bar.

"Mmm..."

Su Yang let out a comfortable groan.

That extreme sensation of cold instantly relieved the parching heat within him.

He subconsciously reached out his arms and tightly hugged this piece of ten-thousand-year-old profound ice in his embrace.

"Qingcheng... a bit colder..."

By now, Su Yang's mind was somewhat blurred, instinctively seeking out the coolness.

"Master... please be gentler..."

Su Qingcheng's beautiful face was flushed. Although she was a Red-Clothed Vicious Ghost with a cold Physique...

Under the impact of Su Yang's peak Pure Yang Qi, even she felt it was hard to bear.

Yin and Yang converged, Dragon and Tiger complemented each other.

The originally violent energy of the Demon Core began to form a perfect cycle at the point of contact between the two.

The Yang Qi in Su Yang's body washed over Su Qingcheng's ghost body, helping her refine the Yin Baleful Qi and making her Soul more solid and pure.

Meanwhile, Su Qingcheng's Extreme Yin Qi flowed back into Su Yang, neutralizing the parching heat in his body and helping him absorb the essence of the Demon Core.

That night, inside the Young Miss of the Su Family's bedroom, the red curtains were warm, and spring was in the air.

...

The next morning.

When the first ray of sunlight shone into the room, Su Yang snapped his eyes open.

Two beams of sharp light shot from his eyes, as dazzling as lightning.

Hu—

He exhaled a breath of turbid Qi, which formed a white streak in the air, extending over a meter before dissipating.

"Refreshing!"

Su Yang leaped up from the bed, feeling his entire body filled with inexhaustible strength.

The True Qi in his body was more than twice as thick as before, and every movement carried an explosive sense of power.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully refining the Snake Demon Inner Core and completing a perfect Yin and Yang harmony!"

"Reward: Cultivation increased to the Foundation Establishment Stage Middle Stage!"

"Reward: Golden Light Curse (Max Level) — Clad in golden light, impervious to all arts!"

"Reward: Ghost Servant Su Qingcheng has evolved into a Red-Clothed Ghost General, unlocking new skills: Nether Ghost Claw and Illusionary Charm!"

Listening to the System's prompts, Su Yang's grin stretched from ear to ear.

Middle Stage Foundation Establishment! Golden Light Curse!

This wave was simply like Qin Shi Huang touching an electrical outlet—he had won big time!

He turned to look at the side of the bed.

Su Qingcheng was curled up under the covers, sleeping soundly.

At this moment, she was no longer in an illusory spiritual state but had become almost exactly like a real person.

Her skin was fair with a rosy tint and full of elasticity; even her breathing and body temperature were faintly apparent.

If not for the lack of a heartbeat, who would believe this was a ghost?

"It seems last night really wore you out."

Su Yang didn't wake her up; instead, he dressed quietly and walked out of the room.

...

The Su Family hall.

Liu Banxian was directing a group of servants in cleaning.

Seeing Su Yang come down, he immediately ran over obsequiously, his face covered in a fawning smile.

"Master Su! You're awake? Breakfast is ready—top-tier bird's nest and abalone to nourish your body!"

Seeing Liu Banxian's suggestive gaze, Su Yang gave him a sharp kick.

"Cut the crap. How's the task I gave you coming along?"

"It's done! All done!"

Liu Banxian patted his chest and guaranteed, "Those collateral relatives of the Su Family were scared witless by your Lightning Arts yesterday. Now they're all as honest as quails; no one dares to say a word against you taking over the Su Family."

"Additionally, I've already got lawyers working on the transfer of all assets under Su Jianguo's name. By tomorrow at the latest, you will be the true master of this Su Family!"

"Mm, not bad."

Su Yang nodded with satisfaction, preparing to sit down and enjoy the luxurious breakfast.

Just then.

Screech—

A sharp sound of brakes echoed at the villa entrance.

Following that, the "tap-tap" of high heels hitting the ground could be heard, sounding hurried and forceful.

"Who is it? Disturbing one's peaceful sleep so early in the morning."

Su Yang frowned and looked up.

A tall figure walked in through the main entrance.

It was a woman.

An extremely beautiful woman.

She wore a tight black uniform that wrapped around her explosive figure, highlighting every curve.

Especially the two magnificent peaks on her chest, which looked as if they might burst the buttons at any moment.

Her lower half featured a knee-length skirt paired with black stockings, outlining two long, straight legs, and she wore red-soled high heels, exuding a full mature beauty vibe.

She had short, capable hair, and her features were exquisite yet cold. A pair of gold-rimmed glasses rested on the bridge of her nose, giving her a sense of frigid beauty.

But at this moment, her beautiful eyes were filled with scrutiny and hostility.

"Who is Su Yang?"

The woman walked to the center of the hall and spoke coldly. Her voice was crisp and pleasant, yet carried an unquestionable authority.

Liu Banxian's eyes went wide, and he almost started drooling, but under the woman's sharp gaze, he instantly chickened out and shrank behind Su Yang.

"That would be me."

Su Yang took a bite of a bun, unscrupulously sizing the woman up, before his gaze finally rested on the ID card on her chest.

[Jiangzhou City Supernatural Investigation Bureau · Special Action Task Force Captain · Lin Bing]

Oh? Someone from the authorities?

"Have you seen enough?"

Lin Bing noticed Su Yang's highly aggressive gaze, her brow furrowing slightly as a flash of disgust crossed her eyes.

"I am Lin Bing from the Jiangzhou City Supernatural Investigation Bureau. Someone reported a strong energy fluctuation here last night, and there's residual Demonic Qi. I suspect an illegal supernatural incident has occurred here!"

Lin Bing walked up to Su Yang and looked down at him, her tone aggressive.

"Where is Su Jianguo? Also, why are you here? Is there a demon causing trouble here?"

Facing Lin Bing's interrogation, Su Yang unhurriedly took a sip of soy milk, then leaned back in his chair, looking at her with a playful expression.

"Officer Lin, are you here to investigate a case, or are you here to... seduce me?"

"What?" Lin Bing was stunned for a moment.

"Barging into a single man's home dressed like this so early in the morning, and standing so close..."

Su Yang pointed at her collar, which had opened slightly as she leaned over, revealing a glimpse of the scenery within.

"It's hard not to suspect your motives."

"You! Shameless!"

Lin Bing instinctively covered her chest, her cheeks instantly flushing red, and her eyes nearly spitting fire.

As an Advanced agent of the Supernatural Bureau, where did she go without being held in awe?

To think she was being teased by a hooligan!

"Stop playing word games with me!"

Lin Bing flew into a rage from shame, suddenly drawing a silver pistol from her waist and pointing the muzzle directly at Su Yang's brow.

But this gun was clearly no ordinary gun; the body was covered in runes and emitted a faint ripple of spiritual power.

"I suspect you are colluding with demons and have murdered Su Jianguo!"

"Now, put your hands behind your head and come back to the bureau for investigation! Otherwise, I'll fire!"

"Playing for real?"

Su Yang looked at the dark muzzle of the gun, his smile gradually fading as his gaze turned somewhat cold.

"Officer Lin, there are two things I hate most."

"First, people stealing my things."

"Second, people pointing a gun at my head."

Before he even finished speaking.

Su Yang's figure suddenly vanished from the spot!

"What?!"

Lin Bing's pupils constricted. Before she could react, she felt a sharp pain in her wrist.

Slap!

The Spiritual Energy Pistol was knocked flying.

Immediately after, a powerful hand gripped her slender waist without warning, spinning her around.

After the world spun.

Lin Bing discovered with horror that she had been pinned onto the sofa by the man!

Their posture was intimate to the extreme.

"You... what do you want to do?!"

Lin Bing panicked. Her skills, which she took pride in, were completely useless against this man!

"What do I want to do?"

Su Yang pinned Lin Bing's struggling hands above her head with one hand.

With his other hand, he pinched her delicate chin, a wicked smile curling on his lips.

"Officer Lin, didn't you say I was colluding with demons?"

"If I don't do something bad, wouldn't I be letting down the big label you've slapped on me?"

Saying this, Su Yang slowly lowered his head, leaning into Lin Bing's ear, his warm breath fanning across her sensitive earlobe.

"Also, remember to button up properly next time you go out."

"Otherwise... it's easy to make someone commit a crime."

"You... you bastard! Let me go!"

Lin Bing was mortified.

She had never had such close contact with the opposite sex; her body actually began to feel a bit weak uncontrollably.

Just then.

A lazy voice suddenly came from the top of the stairs.

"Master, you're so energetic this early in the morning?"

"Is this... a new sister you've found for me?"

Lin Bing's whole body stiffened, and she looked to the side.

Su Qingcheng, wearing a red silk nightgown, was leaning against the staircase railing, watching the scene with a faint smile.

That terrifying red-clothed ghost aura, though mostly restrained, still made Lin Bing, a supernatural agent, feel a shudder from the depths of her Soul.

"A R-Red-Clothed Vicious Ghost?!"

Lin Bing's eyes widened. She looked at Su Yang, then at Su Qingcheng; her worldview was about to collapse.

This hooligan... actually kept a Red-Clothed Vicious Ghost at home?!

And looking at the female ghost, she seemed to be jealous?

What the hell is going on here?!!!
