ly.Hearing this, He Ming couldn't help but change his expression again. However, before he could say anything, Liu Yunman suddenly opened the door and rushed out, asking urgently, "What did you say Ji...Chapter 1338: Magical Clothes

Summer didn't want to miss out. Even if he couldn't make Night Yu Mei his wife tonight, he still wouldn’t be able to turn her into a maid; at the very least, he wanted to see enough of this woman’s good figure. Therefore, he quickly came up with another plan: "I need to first use the fourth divine needle on you to remove your impurities and cleanse your marrow, which requires you to take off your clothes."

"Do you think that will fool me" Night Yu Mei looked at Summer with a mocking gaze. "If you are willing to help me repair my golden丹dan, then do it quickly. Otherwise, just kill me outright; don’t expect me to beg for your help. I’d rather become an ordinary person than beg or be coerced by you."

"Hey, don't always assume that I want to take advantage of you. If you don't remove those shabby clothes, my silver needles won't penetrate at all. How can I perform the divine needle technique then" Summer said somewhat displeased.

After a moment's pause, he added: "Don’t make me mention any acupoint names; performing the divine eight needles requires using many acupoints."

Night Yu Mei was silent for a while before saying indifferently: "Now, you can apply your needles to any of my acupoints."

"Alright then. Lie down on your back, and I'll start with removing your impurities and cleansing your marrow." Summer decided not to think about taking advantage of this woman anymore; after all, Fairy Sister was the most important thing. He couldn't risk losing Fairy Sister for these minor benefits.

Moreover, in fact, performing the divine eight needles on Night Yu Mei wasn’t just beneficial to her but also greatly benefited him himself. His cultivation would certainly rise significantly as a result, making it more likely that he would win against experts of Baiyun Mountain’s caliber next time.

This time, Ye Yumei cooperatively lay down, and Xia Tian no longer hesitated. He took out the silver needles and immediately started to pierce her body.

The Fourth Heaven-Defying Needle — Bone Marrow Cleansing!

For Xia Tian, bone marrow cleansing was already quite simple. He quickly noticed that Ye Yumei hadn’t been lying when she said that every acupoint on this set of clothes could be pierced. However, if the needle were to hit anywhere else around the acupoints, then the set of clothes would become impenetrable as if it had a layer of armor. Xia Tian found this rather amazing and wondered what kind of magical clothing it was.

Soon after, Xia Tian discovered that this piece of clothing was even more magical than he thought. Like every previous bone marrow cleansing session, Ye Yumei’s body naturally exuded countless black sludge. What surprised Xia Tian was the fact that after the black sludge seeped through her skin, it also came out from Ye Yumei's bizarre black tight-fitting clothes!

Xia Tian, who had originally thought that Ye Yumei would have to take off her clothes to wash away these black sludges, immediately realized that his guess was probably wrong.

After a few more minutes, the bone marrow cleansing ended. Xia Tian saw Ye Yumei rub her hands together and then wipe her face with them. All the black sludge on her hands, face, as well as her entire body suddenly turned into dust and vanished without a trace.

Afraid of being late for the next step, Xia Tian said gloomily, “I’ll proceed to the fifth needle now.”

The following morning...

A coffee shop near Moonfall Lake.

In a corner of the café, a man and woman are sitting together. The man is in his forties, dressed simply with an average appearance, while the woman exudes mature beauty and seductive charm from head to toe.

"Miss Cheng, thank you for agreeing to meet with me." The middle-aged man looks at the alluring woman with a strange gaze, as if he is feeling sympathy mixed with admiration.

"Group Leader Tian, back then when you were kind and supportive of me, I have always kept it in mind," the seductive woman smiles faintly, her smile adding to her allure.

These two people are none other than Tian Bohong and Cheng Ling.

Tian Bohong and Cheng Ling met five years ago. At that time, Tian Bohong was already the head of the Major Case Investigation Group in Yue Nan City. Five years ago, a traffic accident occurred in Yue Nan City, resulting in the immediate death of a father and son; the driver fled the scene, leaving behind only one person from what was once a happy family – Cheng Ling.

A hit-and-run case like this wouldn't typically fall under the jurisdiction of the Major Case Investigation Group. The reason Tian Bohong became aware of this incident is because Cheng Ling reported it to the police station herself, alleging that her husband and son had been murdered intentionally.

There's no doubt that Cheng Ling is a very charming woman. It was precisely for this reason that Tian Bohong, seemingly driven by fate, took charge of the case personally and went to investigate it himself. Little did he know that once he started investigating, he discovered that there was indeed something amiss with the case – it wasn't an accident at all but a deliberate act of murder.

However, in a strange twist of events, just days into his investigation, Tian Bohong was reassigned to a temporary special task force to look into another case. This other case had been handed over to someone else by the time he returned from the task force. He found that the case had already been settled as an accident and the driver responsible had turned himself in; everything seemed resolved. Strangely, Cheng Ling no longer pursued her appeals and seemed to have accepted this outcome.

But Tian Bohong continued his investigation secretly. This time, he uncovered many shocking secrets and discovered a group called the Baihua Tower, as well as a man known as Jun Shao. He also found that numerous cases in Yue Nan City were intricately connected to this organization.

Right when he was planning to delve deeper into these matters, he faced pressure from his superiors and unknown threats. Ultimately, he had no choice but to give up, especially after a mysterious attack on his son who was just finishing middle school. From that point on, Tian Bohong dared not investigate any further.

However, he never forgot these matters or the Baihua Tower organization. Now, as he began re-investigating this case under Xia Tian's hypnosis, he thought of Cheng Ling and believed she must still know much more about what had happened, which was why she was so certain that her husband had been murdered.

Five years later, Cheng Ling seemed even more mature and beautiful, leaving Tian Bohong momentarily dazed. He recalled the heart-wrenching and panicked look on Cheng Ling's face five years ago. However, now, Cheng Ling showed no signs of distress or panic; she appeared calm and sweet-smiling. It was clear that these past few years had been good to her.

"Group Leader Tian," Cheng Ling asked, pulling Tian Bohong out of his thoughts. "You mentioned over the phone yesterday that you wanted to ask about my husband's case back then"

“Ah yes,” Tian Bohong nodded quickly. “Miss Cheng, I recall you once told me someone had threatened you, is that right”

"Group Leader Tian," Cheng Ling’s expression dimmed slightly with a clear trace of sorrow in her voice, now softer. "Five years ago, I don’t really remember the details very well." She paused, continuing more quietly: "I truly don’t want to recall those days; it was like a nightmare for me."

"Ms. Cheng, I am truly sorry. I didn't mean to bring up these painful memories. However, there were many doubts about that case back then. You said it wasn't a traffic accident case originally. I understand you might have been threatened, and at the time, I was also under pressure and couldn't continue investigating. But this time, I promise I will get justice for you. All I need is some clues. I believe Ms. Cheng still knows many details about what happened."

Cheng Ling picked up her coffee, took a light sip, then fell silent, not speaking for a long while.

Tian Bohong didn't urge her; he knew she was deliberating or hesitating.

"It's useless. We can't win against them," Cheng Ling said after some time, with an expression of pain on her face.

"Ms. Cheng, trust me. No matter who they are this time, we will get justice for you," Tian Bohong quickly reassured her. "This case is being personally investigated by someone from Beijing, so don't worry about the background of those who harmed you in the past."

"Heaven is high and the emperor far away. Beijing is too far from here." Cheng Ling gave a bitter smile. "Team Leader Tian, I am still alive because I said nothing. But if I say something now, by tomorrow morning when you see me, I might already be dead."

"Ms. Cheng, as long as you are willing to speak up, I will protect you," Tian Bohong looked at Cheng Ling earnestly. "Trust me; I will ensure your safety."

Cheng Ling shook her head: "Team Leader Tian, in that situation, even your own safety might not be guaranteed, so how could you protect mine"

Tian Bohong wanted to say something more, but Cheng Ling shook her head and sighed softly: "Team Leader Tian, I’m really sorry. I’m just an ordinary woman like any other; I don’t have a big heart. Back then, you took good care of me, and if you invite me for coffee and chat with me, I would be very willing. However, regarding the matter from five years ago, I truly do not want to bring it up again."

A bitter smile appeared at the corner of Tian Bohong’s mouth; since Cheng Ling had said this much, there seemed to be no point in him continuing further. Fortunately, Cheng Ling hadn’t refused his invitation for future meetings—perhaps she would eventually say something.

Cheng Ling picked up her coffee cup and drank it all at once before gently setting down the empty cup and gracefully standing up: "Team Leader Tian, I should be leaving now. Thank you for the coffee."

After saying that, Cheng Ling turned around and walked out of the café.

Gazing at her beautiful figure departing into the distance, there was a special flavor in Tian Bohong’s eyes.

In a villa beside Moonfall Lake, Xia Tian sat in the living room, yawning. He hadn’t slept all night and felt rather drowsy. However, he couldn’t go to sleep now because Liu Yunshe—the scrawny stick figure—had come over. As her brother-in-law, he had to look out for her, especially since just now, Liu Yunman specifically called him on the phone asking him to take care of Liu Yunshe. Naturally, Xia Tian would be extra attentive towards this sister-in-law.

"Brother-in-law, did you get yourself involved with a policewoman again" At this moment, Liu Yunshe was looking at Hu Feifei and asked Xia Tian curiously.personBut Ren Zhongheng had no choice but to believe him because he knew that the Third Young Master would not lie to him. If something came from the mouth of the Third Young Master, then however unbe...
