231: Chapter 231 Such is Life

"Are there any other benefits?"

"Certainly."

"The Stainless Body, you can tell just by the name that it's very powerful."

"Besides making the body healthier, it's even more helpful for cultivation and martial arts, allowing one to achieve twice the result with half the effort in everything."

"As for exactly how good it is, that varies from person to person, and it requires personal experience to reach a more accurate conclusion."

Han Jingyang briefly explained the Stainless Body.

The expressions in Liu Jing and Shi Xiaoya's eyes changed; they were sparkling, filled with excitement.

However, Shi Xiaoya's attention quickly shifted to that Hetian jade stone tablet of Liu Jing's: "What about this? What is it used for?"

Liu Jing also stared at Han Jingyang with eyes full of anticipation. After all, Han Jingyang had just said that both items were good things. Since the solid gold Guanyin Bodhisattva was so awesome, the Hetian jade stone tablet wouldn't be too bad either.

Therefore, Liu Jing was filled with anticipation.

Han Jingyang said to Shi Xiaoya: "This is for suppressing the house; placing it at home can ward off evil spirits."

"Ward off evil?"

"Yes, placed in the home, ordinary metaphysics attacks will be rendered ineffective, so it's quite suitable for Liu Jing to use."

"I see," Shi Xiaoya nodded, instantly losing interest. She lived alone and had no family to worry about, so having the protective talisman Han Jingyang gave her was enough; she didn't need this thing.

But Liu Jing was different. She had a whole family, and she really needed something like this to protect them. Being able to resist the vast majority of metaphysics attacks was equivalent to having an invincible protective talisman within the metaphysics circle. After all, this was modern society, a country ruled by law. People in the metaphysics circle generally wouldn't resort to physical brawls, relying instead on metaphysics attacks like Feng Shui, Onmyodo, curses, and Gu poison.

Therefore, Liu Jing was overjoyed and quickly thanked him.

Shi Xiaoya chuckled: "Just thanking him with empty words like that?"

Liu Jing realized what she meant, and her face turned bright red in an instant. Paired with her skin, which had just become fair, it looked like a mutton-fat jade cup filled with red wine; the rouge-like crimson color radiated from within her white and delicate skin, presenting a hazy red halo that was extremely alluring.

Then, under the teasing gaze of Shi Xiaoya, Liu Jing threw herself into Han Jingyang's arms, stood on tiptoe, and kissed Han Jingyang.

Han Jingyang blinked.

Had this woman become this bold too?

Was she stimulated by Shi Xiaoya?

However, this feeling was really good.

Such is life, what more could one ask for?

With Shi Xiaoya on the left and Liu Jing on the right, if he could live like this for a lifetime, he would have no regrets even in death.

Han Jingyang contentedly wrapped his arms around Liu Jing's waist, lowered his head, and kissed her directly.

Shi Xiaoya didn't mind.

Liu Jing didn't mind either.

As a grown man, what was there to be shy about?

Hehehe.

And since it's kissing now, could it be that in the future...

Thinking of the wonderful possibilities, Han Jingyang kissed even more intensely.

Until Liu Jing was panting, her eyes misty and alluring, collapsing into his arms.

Then, Liu Jing hugged the Hetian jade stone tablet ornament and rushed into the bedroom, not coming out again.

Shi Xiaoya also giggled and dodged Han Jingyang's hug: "Boss, that won't do. We must take things step by step."

Step by step?

Sigh.

It's uncomfortable.

He had been holding back for a long time.

He hadn't done that since breaking up with his ex-girlfriend. The fire had been suppressed for so long that it was burning hotter and hotter, ready to ignite at the slightest touch; he had almost lost control just now.

Unfortunately, these two women weren't giving him a chance.

Especially Shi Xiaoya, that little enchantress; she was the one who lit the fire, the one who fanned the flames, and the one who took no responsibility.

Hmph.

Sooner or later, he would let this little enchantress know his power.

That evening.

Xu Xin hosted a dinner at his home, inviting Han Jingyang and the two women.

Xu Xin and his wife cooked personally, preparing a table full of dishes.

After the dishes were served, the family of three earnestly thanked the three of them, and everyone downed three glasses in a row, including Xu Xin's wife.

After Han Jingyang exchanged a few polite words, they began to chat casually.

After they were full of food and drink, Xu Xin pulled Han Jingyang into the study and asked seriously: "Brother, do you have any more dharma instruments like protective talismans?"

Han Jingyang shook his head: "I don't have any extra. I just lost one and haven't had a place to replenish it. When I was at home, I was even discussing with Liu Jing when to go out treasure hunting."

"Tian Chunming's spoils of war..."

"A portion is still with the Bureau of Religious Affairs."

"Did they seize them?"

"Even if they had ten times the courage, they wouldn't dare to do such a thing."

"That's true. It's just that my concern clouded my judgment. Brother, your strength is clear for all to see; only someone with water in their brain would go against you."

Han Jingyang smiled: "You don't need to worry about the protective talismans. If I have any extras, I'll definitely prioritize arranging them for you and Xiao Yun."

Xu Xin nodded quickly: "Good, Brother, feel free to name your price."

Han Jingyang shook his head: "Between us, there's no need to talk about money. What kind of relationship do we have? However, Old Xu, you really need to be on guard. You have been associating with Liu Qing for a long time, so you must have been noticed by Tian Chunming long ago. If Tian Chunming isn't dead, he will definitely seek revenge."

Xu Xin nodded with a heavy expression.

Han Jingyang continued to console him: "Of course, you don't need to be too afraid. Even if Tian Chunming isn't dead, it will take a long time for him to recover. By that time, I will definitely have arranged protective talismans and even other dharma instruments for you. By the way, regarding other dharma instruments, I do have a few with different functions right now. Do you want to take a look?"

Xu Xin was overjoyed: "Really? What functions?"

"How about this: after I go back, I'll take a good inventory and make a list for you to choose from. Of course, you can also tell me your needs, besides the defensive ones."

"Good, good, thank you, Brother."

"However, these will cost money, but of course, I certainly won't ask for an exorbitant price."

"That's only right."

After chatting for a while, Han Jingyang lowered his voice: "Old Xu, help me with a favor in a couple of days."

"Sure," Xu Xin agreed first, then asked: "What is it?"

"Digging up something. It would be best to find an excavator."

Xu Xin's eyes widened: "Brother, you aren't..."

"What are you thinking? Digging up some treasure."

"Treasure?"

"Yes, left to me by someone else."

"No problem. What time? What location? How big is the project?"

"The project isn't big. I'll notify you of the specific time and location when the time comes."

"Okay, I'll find the excavator first."

"The excavator isn't the point. The point is that there are definitely people watching this treasure, so there will likely be a fierce battle. You need to be mentally prepared."

"I'm good at that."

"Then it's settled. Wait for my news."

The treasure Han Jingyang spoke of was naturally the treasure left behind by Huang Jianyong.

Only he knew about that treasure.

However, there were definitely many people watching Huang Jianyong, not just him, because Huang Jianyong had done such big things and had accumulated goodness knows how many good things over the years. But until the case was closed, not many dharma instruments had surfaced, so people with ulterior motives would definitely be watching.

Originally, waiting three to five years before going to dig up the treasure would have been the most prudent course of action. No matter how patient a hunter was, they wouldn't watch for that long, and even if they could watch for that long, they would definitely relax their vigilance eventually.

However, the appearance of Tian Chunming and that so-called Qunying Society made him feel the pressure from the metaphysics circle.

It made him realize the existence of danger.

It also made him realize the necessity of improving his strength as soon as possible.

And it made him determined to dig up the treasure Huang Jianyong left him as soon as possible.
