wake up in another room.Although Mu Han had only gone to bed around 4 AM, she felt extremely energetic now. She knew that this was due to her husband's silver needle marrow cleansing technique, which...Chapter 1042: Inner Beauty

Chu Fan seemed to still be in a daze and was possibly scared by the scene. As three people approached him with knives, he didn't react at all, not even attempting to escape or dodge.

The three individuals weren't just bluffing; they genuinely intended to kill Chu Fan, as their long swords directly aimed for his head. It could be imagined that a single blow would have been enough to end Chu Fan's life.

Seeing this, Ning Jie hesitated for a second before stepping in. She swiftly moved beside Chu Fan and snatched all three knives with her slender hand, then casually threw them into the tires of the black car.

The three men tried to run when they saw things weren't going their way, but Ning Jie wasn’t about to let them off so easily. With a light leap, she swiftly kicked each one down until they fell flat on the ground and couldn't get up again.

Yet this was not over as Ning Jie found there was another person inside the car at the driver's seat. She quickly pulled him out and threw him to the ground beside Chu Fan.

Chu Fan finally came to his senses, but he could only stare in disbelief. At that moment, he began to question if she had been lying, as it was clear she wasn't Ning Jie.

"These people seem to be after you. Call the police," Ning Jie coolly said to Chu Fan before pulling Xia Tian away and swiftly disappearing from view.

Considering they were classmates, Ning Jie couldn’t watch indifferently as Chu Fan was attacked in front of her. So she saved him, but didn't want any trouble for herself or Xia Tian nor wanted anything between them. Thus, she left quickly after saving him.

Chu Fan stood rooted to the spot, daydreaming for a full minute before he finally picked up his phone and dialed the emergency number.

Xia Tian and Ning Jie soon returned home. Xia Tian casually asked, "Stingy wife, who was that guy Could it be someone who had a crush on you"

"Impossible," Ning Jie explained, "He's just an acquaintance from school." She continued, "You know how I used to be, so why would anyone have ever liked me"

Xia Tian responded seriously, "Oh, they simply didn’t understand your inner beauty."

Ning Jie finally rolled her eyes at Xia Tian, "Then do you understand my inner beauty"

"Of course I do!" Xia Tian said as he scooped her up in his arms, "Stingy wife, now I want to admire your inner beauty!"

Xia Tian carried Ning Jie quickly upstairs and into their bedroom. He then placed her on the bed and began undressing her. Ning Jie finally understood that what Xia Tian called “inner beauty” was simply the attractiveness of what lay beneath her clothes, and to appreciate it, all he had to do was take off her clothes.

"Don’t you need to absorb yin fire tonight" Ning Jie couldn't help but ask.

"I’ll absorb some more from your body first," Xia Tian chuckled.

"Where else in my body do I have yin fire" Ning Jie glared at Xia Tian again.

"If I say there is, then there is. After all, I'm the number one divine doctor in the world," Xia Tian declared confidently.

Ning Jie couldn't help but grumble inwardly: 'The number one divine doctor More like a number one quack.'

Just as she was about to say something else, a tingly sensation suddenly arose from her chest. Instinctively, she let out a soft sound: "Hmm..."

Xia Tian, who was adept at undressing women, had already stripped Ning Jie down to the skin in no time and then gently sucked on her nipple, savoring her inner beauty for a while before delving deeper into her essence. At the same time, he absorbed the yin fire from within her body that seemingly didn't exist until late at night when it seemed like he genuinely began absorbing some of Ning Jie's yin fire, reluctantly parting with her and then proceeding to absorb his own yin fire in a more ordinary manner.

Meanwhile, Ning Jie, whose body was weakened from being折騰 (tortured) and voice hoarse, got up and poured herself a glass of water before standing by the side to watch over him.

"I must have owed you something in my past life," thought Ning Jie silently as she looked at Xia Tian sitting cross-legged on the ground. She had just been tossed around for hours by this guy, so now she should be resting, but she couldn’t—she needed to safeguard him. Thankfully, her strength was considerable and could endure a bit longer.

Massaging a spot that had been bitten rather hard earlier, Ning Jie whispered inwardly: 'Did he turn me from an unattractive girl into this beautiful one just so he could enjoy me later'

Ning Jie then shook her head. She knew it wasn't like that; the man barely even looked at her before she met him this time, and if nothing had happened, they probably wouldn’t have gotten together.

Sighing softly, Ning Jie also sat down cross-legged and began her cultivation practice. This helped keep her alert and清醒, so that she could sense any impending danger immediately.

In a residential community several kilometers away from Xiangxue Lake, a beautiful girl was sitting on the sofa in the living room, watching TV while yawning repeatedly.

The sound of keys unlocking the door suddenly reached her ears. The girl instantly perked up and jumped to her feet.

The front door opened, and a man walked in—it was Chu Fan, who had nearly been killed tonight. His tired face lit up with a gentle smile upon seeing the girl: "Zhang Dan, you're still not asleep"

This beautiful girl was indeed Zhang Dan—the same Zhang Dan who used to live in Beijing and was friends with Ning Jie. If Ning Jie knew that Zhang Dan was here too, she would have been greatly surprised because there was no way she could have imagined Zhang Dan coming to Hope Bay City.

"I've been waiting for you to come back. You said you were at the police station, but I didn't know what happened to you. I wanted to go and see, but I'm not familiar with this place and don’t even know where the police station is. Since you said you would be back soon, I just waited here. Who knew ‘soon’ meant two hours" Zhang Dan yawned again. "Well, now that you're back safe, I should go to sleep!"

After saying this, Zhang Dan walked towards the bedroom and shut the door. This was a two-bedroom apartment with one living room, and it was clear she wasn't living together with Chu Fan.

Chu Fan went into the bathroom, washed his face first, then returned to his own bedroom. But in less than a minute, he came out again and walked to Zhang Dan's bedroom door, knocking on it.

"Zhang Dan, are you asleep" Chu Fan was also quite tired but had some things that needed clarification before he could sleep. He believed these were things Zhang Dan wanted to know as well.

"Not yet, Chu Fan, is there any urgent matter" Zhang Dan's voice came from inside.

"Zhang Dan, I might have seen Ning Jie." After a slight hesitation, Chu Fan directly said this sentence.

Plunk!

Zhang Dan jumped off the bed straight away and opened the door. She seemed to suddenly perk up and asked urgently, "Chu Fan, what did you say Did you see Ning Jie"

"Erm, Zhang Dan, your clothes... " Chu Fan felt a little awkward, wanting to look but not daring to at the same time. However, Zhang Dan was too anxious; she now had quite revealing attire on, especially her lower body, just wearing tiny undergarments.

"Ah!" Zhang Dan immediately noticed something was amiss and quickly slammed the door shut with a bang. Less than a minute later, the door opened again, but Chu Fan found himself in an awkward situation—Zhang Dan wasn't dressed properly; instead, she wrapped herself up entirely with a quilt.

"Chu Fan, tell me quickly! Where did you see Ning Jie" Zhang Dan clearly cared about this matter very much.

"Actually, Zhang Dan, I'm not entirely sure. She didn't admit to being Ning Jie, but I remember the photo you showed me last time; she really looked like her." Chu Fan thought for a moment and said, "Right, show me that photo again."

"Okay, wait a second." Zhang Dan went back into her bedroom and pulled out her phone. She quickly found a picture. "Here, take a look carefully. Is it her Now she looks exactly like this—very pretty and graceful, almost like a star."

Chu Fan stared at the photo for a full minute before nodding confidently: "That's her, I really saw her. But there’s something odd—Zhang Dan, you’re familiar with Ning Jie; did you know she knew martial arts"

"Martial arts" Zhang Dan was taken aback. "She does seem to have some skills. I actually witnessed her sending a man flying with just one strike!"

"So it is her then." Chu Fan, however, seemed puzzled. "It’s strange though—if she really is who she claims to be, shouldn’t she recognize me Even if we’re strangers, surely she wouldn’t deny her identity"

"That’s weird indeed. Why would she come to Wong Kong" Zhang Dan was equally perplexed. "Chu Fan, tell me everything about the encounter you had with her tonight in detail!"

"Alright." Despite his fatigue, Chu Fan recounted the entire incident. Fortunately, it wasn’t a complex story and he finished quickly.

“Oh no You nearly got killed" Zhang Dan was alarmed.

"Yes. If Ning Jie hadn't saved me, I might really have been killed," Chu Fan nodded but felt uneasy inside; he had no idea why those men wanted to kill him.

"This is truly strange. She’s here now with a husband and even denies being Ning Jie—very bizarre." Zhang Dan muttered to himself: "I never heard she had a boyfriend either, the only man糾纏不清的男人都隻有一個，難道會是他？

Thinking of this, Zhang Dan asked again: "Chu Fan, did you get a good look at the man who was with Ning Jie"the compensation, the resident moved to another room."Everything inside is brand new; I just got it all replaced," Su Xiaocan said with a suggestive smile at both of them. "I'll go out now and won't d...
