Chapter 301: Compensation

Ye Xuan and Su Mengli hugged for a while before reluctantly parting. It was then that Ye Xuan noticed Qin Heng sitting on the ground.

Ye Xuan asked, “Why are you lying down?”

Qin Heng shrugged and said, “Your wife kicked me, it hurts so much. I demand compensation, or else I won’t get up!”

Ye Xuan inquired, “How do you want to be compensated?”

Qin Heng straightforwardly replied, “Turn me back, I don’t want to control knives anymore, I want to control swords!”

Ye Xuan was taken aback and said, “I’m really powerless in this matter…”

Qin Heng sat on the ground, acting stubbornly, “I don’t care, I’ve already involved your family. If you don’t help me, I’ll call my mom!”

Qin Heng’s mother was Director Wei Lan of the Jiangcheng police station, who had taken care of Ye Xuan in Jiangcheng.

Upon hearing Qin Heng’s threat to call his mother, Ye Xuan said, “Fine, give me some time to think, see if there’s a solution!”

Qin Heng then stood up and said, “You promised, you can’t back out. I want to return to my original dashing sword god appearance, one sword strike making countless girls scream, flying with the sword, mastering a myriad of swords, the fusion of man and sword, just thinking about it is so cool!”

Ye Xuan patted Qin Heng’s shoulder and said, “I can only do my best, I can’t guarantee this matter.”

Qin Heng immediately replied, “I believe in you. Since I’ve known you, you’ve been creating miracles. You can do it!”

The mission was completed, and Ye Xuan and Su Mengli didn’t stay long at the academy, they went straight home.

At home, Little Red and Little Black had cleaned the house well, and the four maids and butler Ren Laotai managed the household well.

After Ye Xuan and Su Mengli returned, Little Red communicated with her master for a few words.

Then, Su Mengli said to Ye Xuan, “Little Red said someone has visited our house.”

Ye Xuan was surprised, “Someone visited? Don’t people at the academy know we were on a mission? Who was it?”

Su Mengli shook her head, “Little Red couldn’t explain clearly, just said the person seemed ordinary, not very powerful, sneaky, and also seemed ill-intentioned. They were scared off by Sadako and fled.”

Ye Xuan thought for a moment and said, “Forget about them. If they’re just ordinary people who can’t even get past Little Red and Little Black, there’s nothing to worry about.”

Ye Xuan lay down, pondering about the upcoming battle.

He realized that his direct combat abilities seemed to have weakened.

The electromagnetic manipulation ability leaned towards support and had limited effects on powerful individuals.

The Heavenly Saint Body had summoned the first of the Zhuxian Four Swords, the Luxian Sword, with sufficient killing power.

However, due to the energy consumption, using the Luxian Sword drained his stamina rapidly, so it kinda made him something like a three-second hero. After one strike, he was left exhausted.

This was not advantageous for Ye Xuan in future missions. He couldn’t rely on others to assist him every time.

Without someone to create opportunities for him, wielding just the Luxian Sword wouldn’t be very effective.

Therefore, Ye Xuan needed to enhance his combat capabilities.

The amplification effect of the Fortune Cudgel was good, but the Heavenly Saint Body lacked physical strength enhancement, limiting the cudgel’s effectiveness.

The most direct way was to increase his development class. Once his development increased, Ye Xuan could control the Luxian Sword for a longer period.

Moreover, when the other Zhuxian Swords were summoned, he would be even more powerful.

Unfortunately, the Heavenly Saint Body’s ability was more suited for the later stages, making him weak in the early stages.

It was necessary for Ye Xuan to accelerate his development, but it being an SSS-class ability, how much faster could he get? He needed to find other means in advance.

Ye Xuan was unaware that the intruders in the villa were not outsiders but the previous owners regretting selling the villa at a low price.

Observing Ye Xuan and Su Mengli living comfortably in the villa without any disturbances, they couldn’t accept it.

In their absence, they sneaked in to check if the villa was clean and ghost-free. If it was, they planned to buy it back at the same price.

However, not only did the villa have ghosts, but there was more than one.

These people dared to sneak in while the owners were away, but Little Red immediately exposed them to the maids and butler Ren, scaring them off.

These people, who were known to Little Black, were spared due to its lingering feelings for the previous owners. It didn’t inform Little Red of their identities as it wasn’t Su Mengli or Ye Xuan’s pet.

Although now obedient, Little Black’s loyalty was not a hundred percent. It was normal for it to protect its former owner out of self-interest.

In fact, when the intruders entered the villa, Little Red wanted to kill them on the spot. However, Little Black stopped Little Red and advised scaring them instead.

Su Mengli and Ye Xuan didn’t want them to take matters into their own hands and kill, so the intruders were merely frightened and fled in panic.

The next two days were mission-free, and Ye Xuan and Su Mengli spent their time practicing and playing cards, enjoying a comfortable life.

Three days passed quickly, and on this day, Su Mengli’s previously released video had been watched by all who needed to see it, garnering a considerable amount of reputation points.

Ye Xuan asked, “System, how many reputation points do I have now?”

The system replied, “Currently, the host has a total of 213,000 reputation points.”

Ye Xuan exclaimed, “Not bad, two intermediate draws and one basic draw?”

The system confirmed, “Correct, the effect this time was very good, mainly because Empress enhanced the host’s combat process, resulting in almost full marks in this mission. All eyes are on the host, but this can only be effective once. In the future, the host must find ways to improve performance on their own.”
