137: Chapter 137 Madam, you smell so good!

Following the Prefect's order.

A dozen or so formidable constables rushed out like wolves and tigers, pinning Lin Fan to the ground with a thud.

Lin Fan was stunned on the spot and immediately struggled to resist: "Why are you arresting me! I am reporting the great Devil Head Ji Aotian; you should be arresting him instead..."

The Prefect sneered: "Report Ji Aotian? Have you lost your mind?!"

"Ji Aotian is the current Imperial Son-in-law!!"

The state banquet in the imperial palace had only just ended, and the Prefect had attended it himself. He had witnessed firsthand just how polite Emperor Jingxuan was to Ji Taichang, accompanying him with a smile the entire time!

In all his years, this was the first time the Prefect had seen Emperor Jingxuan treat someone with such courtesy and respect!

Therefore, he knew very well that Ji Taichang was someone even Emperor Jingxuan needed to curry favor with—a big shot who absolutely must not be provoked!

Now, a mere junior actually dared to slander the Imperial Son-in-law as a demonic cultivator. This was like a mouse teasing a cat—pure suicide!

"Im、Imperial Son-in-law??"

Lin Fan was dumbfounded, his head buzzing.

"Ji Aotian is actually the Imperial Son-in-law? Isn't his wife Sister Yue?"

"No... he is a great Devil Head!"

"Even if he really is the Imperial Son-in-law, he is still a great Devil Head! Quickly report this to Emperor Jingxuan and the royal family! Ji Aotian is practicing a Demonic Technique and has already reached the Soul Transformation Stage. If you don't arrest him now, it will be too late..."

The Prefect dug his ear, saying impatiently: "What are you babbling about? Drag him out!!"

Although Lin Fan was strong, his body had already been severely injured during his battle with Ji Taichang, so he had no strength to resist and was dragged away by a dozen constables.

"Ji Aotian really is a great Devil Head! If you don't believe me, you will face retribution!"

"You cannot arrest me! I am the Personal Disciple of Divine Physician Elder Li from Medicine King Valley!"

"I am the champion of the Alchemy Assembly! I have been commended by His Majesty Emperor Jingxuan..."

Lin Fan's roaring faded away.

An official looked at the Prefect and whispered: "My Lord, should we... report this to His Majesty?"

"Of course."

The Prefect smiled: "A villain dared to slander the Imperial Son-in-law, and we saw through his schemes and threw him into jail. This is a great achievement!"

...

"My Lady, you smell so good."

Medicine King Valley.

In a simple and elegant courtyard, Nangong Qingya wore loose, plain clothing that could not hide her voluptuous figure. Her skin was snow-white and delicate, and her hair was still slightly damp, clearly having just bathed not long ago.

Her face was fair with a hint of pink, and she felt somewhat shy, her heart beating rapidly.

In front of Nangong Qingya, Ji Taichang stood tall and straight, wearing a dark cyan robe. He had already removed the bronze mask from his face, revealing an incredibly young and handsome countenance with a smile on his lips.

Seeing Ji Taichang's handsome face, Nangong Qingya's heart beat even faster. She whispered: "Se、Senior, you flatter me. I just bathed, so it is just the scent of soap on my body."

"Is that so? But what I smell is the faint fragrance from your body, My Lady."

Ji Taichang's eyes were filled with affection as he gently took Nangong Qingya's soft, warm hand and brought it to his face, taking a deep breath.

"Senior, please don't..."

Nangong Qingya let out a soft cry and tried to pull her hand away, but was instead gently pulled by Ji Taichang, falling right into his arms.

Their bodies pressed close, and they could feel each other's body heat and heartbeat.

The scent of a mature man washed over her, causing Nangong Qingya's beautiful eyes to widen slightly, and she felt her body go weak.

It wasn't until Ji Taichang's warm hands climbed onto her soft waist that Nangong Qingya shuddered and hurriedly struggled to rise from his embrace.

"Se、Senior, let's talk about business. I wonder what brings you to see me?"

Nangong Qingya lowered her head, her face as red as an apple, not daring to look at Ji Taichang.

This shy appearance actually piqued Ji Taichang's playfulness, and he found it quite interesting.

Nangong Qingya was not young anymore and even had a child in their twenties; how could she be this shy just from a little physical contact with him?

This did not look like a mature woman at all.

Ji Taichang smiled slightly: "Actually, there is nothing else. I have just been thinking of you day and night, constantly concerned about you, so I came to see you."

[Ding! Nangong Qingya's favorability increased by 1 point]

[Nangong Qingya's favorability: 66 (There will be a surprise when favorability reaches 100!)]

Nangong Qingya was secretly delighted and shy because of Ji Taichang's sweet words, and her charming appearance made Ji Taichang's heart stir.

After teasing her for a while, Ji Taichang asked nonchalantly: "By the way, My Lady, why haven't I seen Lin Fan lately?"

Nangong Qingya reached out to tuck her hair behind her ear and said softly: "Xiao Fan has been in secluded Cultivation recently, saying he is attempting a Breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage..."

A sneer appeared in Ji Taichang's eyes.

With his current powerful cultivation, his Divine Sense had long covered the entire Medicine King Valley, and he had not sensed Lin Fan's presence at all!

"What?!"

Just then.

In another direction of the courtyard, Divine Physician Elder Li picked up a transmission token, his expression changing abruptly.

"Fellow Daoist, what happened?"

Ji Taichang's heart stirred, and he immediately walked toward Divine Physician Elder Li.

This old guy was Lin Fan's nominal Revered Master; perhaps he knew Lin Fan's whereabouts.

Divine Physician Elder Li looked troubled and whispered: "I just received news that Lin Fan... he reported to the capital's yamen that you, Fellow Daoist Ji, are a demonic cultivator, and the Prefect has thrown him into the dungeon..."

Seeing the sneer on Ji Taichang's face, Divine Physician Elder Li's heart jumped, and he hurriedly said: "Fellow Daoist, please calm down. You certainly cannot be a demonic cultivator; there must be some misunderstanding!"

"Let me go to the yamen to fish Lin Fan out. I will definitely make him apologize to you properly and clear up this misunderstanding..."

Ji Taichang nodded slightly, his face expressionless.

Divine Physician Elder Li hurried out of Medicine King Valley and immediately headed to the capital's dungeon.

Ji Taichang, however, concealed his aura and followed silently behind!!

Divine Physician Elder Li was, after all, the former Valley Revered Master of Medicine King Valley. He had treated countless people and had vast connections, so he quickly used his connections to fish Lin Fan out of the dungeon, and the two began to return to Medicine King Valley.

What neither of them noticed was that a ghostly figure in mid-air was watching them!

When Divine Physician Elder Li and Lin Fan left the capital and entered a remote, deserted wilderness, the corners of Ji Taichang's mouth curled up slightly, forming a cruel arc!

He formed a hand seal, and the human emperor flag fluttered in the wind. Black Qi surged, and a dozen or so terrifying demonic creature Souls descended from the sky, killing toward Divine Physician Elder Li and Lin Fan!

"Not good!!"

Divine Physician Elder Li's expression changed abruptly, and he immediately raised his hand to activate several Magical Artifacts, preparing to face the enemy.

Looking at the dozen or so somewhat familiar demonic creature phantoms, Lin Fan's expression changed drastically!

"It is Ji Aotian... Ji Aotian is here!"

"No... I cannot die here!!"

With fear and hatred in his eyes, Lin Fan did not care about Divine Physician Elder Li's safety at all and turned around to run!
