"Is someone outside?" Ryan Ling instinctively sensed something was wrong—the aura was exactly the same 'big sister' scent he'd picked up earlier.
"How could that be? Taiyi Sect and Golden Sword Gate people are guarding the place right now. Who would dare break in?" At the moment, Angie Chen was burning up inside, totally unable to care about anything else. She didn't know why, but lately her Yin-Maiden energy was getting fiercer and fiercer—she used to suppress it every two weeks, but now even doing it every two days wasn't enough. If this keeps up, it's definitely going to be a problem. She has to find a way to control it!
But just as Angie Chen finished speaking, the 'big sister' aura outside suddenly vanished again.
Did he just hallucinate twice today?
While Ryan was still surprised, Angie Chen was already wailing as if her life depended on it.
Ryan was speechless and quickly clamped a hand over her mouth. This was definitely not the place for her to scream her head off.
After half an hour of fooling around, Angie Chen was finally satisfied.
The two walked out of the ladies' room, and Cindy Sun came running over, grinning ear to ear. "Mr. Ling, Cousin Angie! The city just called—they're finally giving me the dance championship trophy from last time! I seriously never dreamed this would happen!"
"Congrats, little cousin! You were always way better than that Lena Ye anyway. It's only right you got it. And hey, don't call him Mr. Ling—too formal. Call him Brother Ling!" Angie Chen patted Cindy Sun on the head, finally acting like a proper big sister for once.
"Okay!" Cindy nodded eagerly, but then she suddenly glanced at Ryan Ling, a little puzzled. "By the way, what were you two doing in the ladies' room just now?"
"Nothing much, just that your big sister dropped something and asked Brother Ling to help look for it!" Angie Chen's face flushed red, actually looking a little embarrassed.
"Did you find it now?" Cindy Sun was back to her adorable, clueless self.
"Found it, found it!" Angie Chen laughed awkwardly, then couldn't help glancing at the puddle in the restroom. Suddenly she pulled Cindy Sun aside and said, "Cindy, listen to your big cousin for a sec—you’re not a kid anymore. You should find yourself a man. What do you think of Brother Ling?"
"Brother Ling is great, of course..." Cindy Sun blushed hard, quickly covering her mouth and sneaking a shy look at Ryan Ling.
"Haha, come on, tell your big sister—what’s there to be scared of? If you could be Brother Ling’s little girlfriend, would you do it or not?" Angie Chen said with a wicked smile.
"Cousin, what are you talking about? I’m still young!" Cindy Sun’s face turned even redder.
"Young? You’re not that young anymore!" Angie Chen said, giving Cindy Sun’s chest a little squeeze—Cindy almost screamed.
"Listen, if you miss out now, you won’t get another chance! Your Brother Ling is seriously hot stuff—tons of girls are after him. If we weren’t relatives, I wouldn’t be worrying about you at all. I know you’re still a virgin, so if you’re gonna lose it, it’d better be to a guy like Brother Ling. He’s got the goods!" Angie Chen was getting more and more out of line. Cindy Sun couldn’t take it anymore—she covered her face and ran off, shouting as she went: "Big sister, you’re so annoying! I’m not talking to you anymore!"
Ryan Ling had been watching the whole scene. He was totally speechless—if you’ve got a big sister like Angie Chen, even the best-behaved little cousin is doomed to get corrupted.
"Stop corrupting your cousin already!" Ryan Ling couldn’t help but chide.
"How am I corrupting her? I’m giving her a massive opportunity! Also, it’s just keeping things in the family, you know? And besides, if there’s a girl around to drain you dry, you won’t go chasing other women. Hmph!" Angie Chen pouted.
"Yeah right, with you being a bottomless pit, I’ll die of exhaustion!" Ryan Ling was honestly scared of her—he was desperate to find a way to suppress her Yin-Maiden energy. If he didn’t do it with her, that energy could go berserk and kill her.
"Really? I thought you didn’t look all that satisfied just now. Want to go back in and try something even wilder?" Angie Chen said, suddenly grabbing Ryan Ling right in the crotch.
"You man-eater, I’m gonna die on your belly one day. Let’s go—your cousin’s waiting for you!" Ryan Ling was speechless; Angie Chen was practically turning into a man-draining monster.
"Fine, I’ll take care of my cousin first and get her onto your bed ASAP. Just you wait!" Angie Chen said, dashing off immediately.
Ryan Ling was totally defeated. But just then, out of the corner of his eye, he spotted something in the corner—a woman’s mask.
Ryan Ling froze. Maybe that earlier feeling wasn’t just his imagination?
......
That night, thanks to Cindy Sun’s persuasion, Simon Sun finally agreed to meet—and promised he could reconnect Warren Yuan’s Dao root. Warren’s injury was already extremely serious; if it wasn’t fixed within three days, he’d be crippled for sure.
That night, everyone made preparations to avoid any surprises the next day. Even Warren Yuan was fired up, determined to show up at the Sun family estate in his best shape.
Ryan Ling took out the demon-snake spine ahead of time, picked out the best segment, and refined it overnight. By dawn, everything was ready.
"Let’s move!" Breathing in the fresh morning air, Ryan Ling led the group toward the Sun family estate. The place was called Divine Medicine Valley—a rare feng-shui treasure in Dragonridge, usually peaceful and isolated. Coming here felt like leaving behind all worldly troubles, bringing a sense of calm.
"Weird. Why is Divine Medicine Valley so busy today?" It wasn’t just Ryan Ling’s group—experts from Taiyi Sect and Golden Sword Gate were along for the ride.
"Yeah, and where did all these luxury cars come from? Looks like some are even from Hong Kong. This is odd—Simon Sun never sees outsiders, and normally not a single soul shows up here for months. What’s going on today?" Daoist Master Xuanlong glanced at Ryan Ling in surprise.
Ryan Ling couldn’t help but furrow his brows and glanced at Angie Chen.
Angie Chen quickly said, "That doesn’t make sense. Cindy told me more than once last night that there wouldn’t be any outsiders at Divine Medicine Valley today—my uncle is only seeing us!"

"Whatever, let’s just go in and check!" Ryan Ling sensed trouble brewing. The group walked about four or five hundred meters and saw a bunch of unfamiliar men in black guarding the valley—at least forty or fifty of them. Clearly, some important guests had arrived at Divine Medicine Valley today.
"Who are you people? No one is allowed into Divine Medicine Valley today—go home!" One of the leaders immediately blocked their way when he saw Ryan Ling’s group.
"Excuse me, sir, may I ask who you are? We have an appointment with Mr. Sun today—it's urgent!" Angie Chen stepped forward quickly.
