Villain: After Intercepting the Female Lead, the Protagonist Collapses

Chapter 69

Chapter 69: A Woman Who Can Bear a Son!

At 10 p.m., with the city lights beginning to shine, the night in Linjiang City became intoxicating, and countless disheartened youths started to drown their sorrows by the roadside.

Ji Menglan, her figure ghost-like, moved rapidly towards Crouching Dragon Villa under the cover of night. Having reached the Innate realm, she could achieve short-term levitation, moving between floors without much expenditure of internal Qi.

In Jiang Che’s bedroom at Crouching Dragon Villa, he was treating a cold-related illness. Ever since discovering Ah Qing’s special constitution, Jiang Che had been helping her every day with blood circulation to expel the cold.

“Young master… it’s a bit ticklish,” Ah Qing blushed with each treatment, always feeling unbearably ticklish.

“This is normal. The cold is being expelled from your body; it will be itchy. You have to endure it.”

“Okay…” Ah Qing obediently nodded, shyly lowering her head. Despite repeated treatments by Jiang Che, she always felt embarrassed.

“That’s enough for today’s treatment. You can go back to sleep,” Jiang Che said with a smile as he withdrew his hand.

Ah Qing nodded and left the bed, not even bothering with shoes, and hastily left on her bare feet.

Jiang Che shook his head amusedly at her departure and was about to go to bed when he sensed something unusual.

His perception had become extremely sensitive after reaching the late Innate stage. In such a quiet environment, he could detect even the slightest movement within a hundred meters.

Jiang Che looked out the window and noticed a shadow moving around his estate. Situated in the suburbs of Linjiang City, Crouching Dragon Villa was almost deserted, with the nearest urban area a ten-minute drive away. He suspected the intruder had no good intentions.

Jiang Che silently closed the window and lay down to sleep, curious to see who the intruder was.

…

Ji Menglan carefully moved through the villa, having already observed its layout. The villa, covering ten thousand square meters, included several modern, retro, western-style castles, and traditional Chinese courtyards, complete with gardens, rockeries, and pools.

“So extravagant,” she muttered, comparing her own living conditions over the years, which paled in comparison to Jiang Che’s luxury.

She planned to sneak in during the security guards’ hourly shift change. Moving swiftly under the cover of night, she soon reached the central modern villa and leaped up to the second-floor window, entering through it.

In the second-floor corridor, she quietly searched room by room and soon found Jiang Che. Locking the door, she approached the window to observe him.

“He’s quite handsome,” she whispered under the faint moonlight, recalling the photo of Jiang Che Ye Chen had shown her. He looked even more handsome than in the photo.

“Since he’s asleep, he might as well die in his sleep,” Ji Menglan thought, pulling out a dagger and stabbing towards Jiang Che’s heart.

Just as she was about to succeed, Jiang Che suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed her wrist, halting the dagger.

“You…” Ji Menglan was stunned to see Jiang Che awake.

“Surprised?” Jiang Che smirked and turned on the bedside lamp, revealing the intruder’s face. A stunningly beautiful woman, her expression a mix of shyness and anger.

Jiang Che was surprised; he hadn’t expected his assassin to be such a beautiful woman.

“Let go!” Ji Menglan said coldly, now furious. No man had ever touched her hand before, and now Jiang Che, whom she despised, had done so.

“Such smooth skin… I don’t want to let go,” Jiang Che said shamelessly, admiring the feel of her hand.

“You shameless scoundrel! I’ll kill you…” Ji Menglan’s eyes filled with murderous intent, angered by Jiang Che’s insolence.

Without hesitation, she gathered her internal Qi into her left palm and struck at Jiang Che. But Jiang Che, discerning her mid-Innate stage cultivation, easily neutralized her attack and captured her.

“You… You’re not just an early Innate stage practitioner!”

Ji Menglan looked at Jiang Che with fear in her eyes. Her palm strike, which she hadn’t held back at all, was effortlessly neutralized by him, suggesting that Jiang Che was at least at the late Innate stage.

“Who told you that I’m just at the early Innate stage?” Jiang Che looked at Ji Menglan as if she were a fool. Did she get scared silly by his formidable aura?

“You… let go, don’t touch me!” Ji Menglan’s expression was a mix of anger and embarrassment. How dare this man touch her so casually?

“Do you dislike men?” Jiang Che frowned, pondering. A woman as beautiful as her, with a slight aversion to men, leggy, and a skilled assassin?

The more he thought, the more Jiang Che felt something was off. Could she be a woman from the plot of “The Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain with My Seven Sisters”?

“Are you Ji Menglan?” Jiang Che’s suspicions grew as he looked at her beautiful face. If beauty could be scored, this woman would easily get 95 points. She must be the female lead.

“Hmph, take your dirty hands off me! Otherwise, I will definitely kill you!” Ji Menglan didn’t answer his question but threatened him with a murderous look.

“It seems you haven’t realized the situation yet…” Jiang Che shook his head and slapped her buttocks several times.

Ji Menglan’s face instantly turned red, shocked by his shameless behavior. How could he be so disrespectful?

If Jiang Che knew what she was thinking, Jiang Che would scoff. You came to assassinate me, and I should respect women?

“Tell me! Are you Ji Menglan?” After several more slaps, Jiang Che asked, somewhat satisfied.

Ji Menglan didn’t answer, just glaring at him.

“You’re so fierce; you won’t be able to get married in the future!” Jiang Che shook his head helplessly and slapped her again.

“I am… I am Ji Menglan,” Ji Menglan finally admitted after enduring for about fifteen minutes, completely shocked by Jiang Che’s shamelessness.

“It would have been better if you admitted earlier, then you wouldn’t have had to suffer so much,” Jiang Che said, shaking his head.

Ji Menglan didn’t reply, fearing that saying anything more would provoke him again.

“So, you’re Ye Chen’s sister, aren’t you? He sent you to assassinate me, right?” Jiang Che sat down across from her, sealing her cultivation, and looked at her playfully.

He noticed her good figure and based on his earlier assessment, was sure she could bear children.

“How do you know?” Ji Menglan was stunned, unable to understand how he could act so ungentlemanly towards a beautiful woman like her, leaving her a bit sore.

“Don’t worry about how I know, just say whether it is or not.”

“Hmph!” Ji Menglan snorted coldly in response to his commanding tone, which she found displeasing.

“What, you don’t want to say?” Jiang Che frowned and gestured as if he was going to start again, and indeed he did.

“You’re shameless!”

“Thank you for the compliment,” Jiang Che chuckled, unbothered by her insults. “Are you going to admit it?”

“You shameless person!”

“Still not admitting?”

“I… I admit it, this matter is indeed related to Ye Chen, but he didn’t send me. I came on my own to avenge him,” Ji Menglan finally couldn’t take it anymore and confessed.

Jiang Che, a bit disappointed, withdrew his hand. “I’ll let you off for now.”
