The next day, when Chi Qing opened her eyes, it was already bright daylight. Lying on the bed and waking up, Chi Qing felt her brain swell.

Not very comfortable.

When going out, Xiao Shuochen seemed to have woken up early, sitting on the sofa and looking at his phone.

Hearing the movement, Xiao Shuochen raised his head, raised his eyebrows, and looked at the time: "Finally woke up? It seems that you slept well last night?"

"Um……"

Chi Qing responded and checked the time as well.

9: 45.

Never woke up so late.

What time did he fall asleep last night?

Chi Qing raised her hand and pressed her temple, unable to remember.

He just remembered that he was a little thirsty last night, and then he found something to drink from the refrigerator, and then...

Then he doesn't remember.

Xiao Shuochen looked at the way he frowned, and knew that he definitely didn't remember the thing that kept him from leaving last night.

It turned out that it just became a little clingy, and it was already at the level of drinking fragments.

"Okay, maybe I slept for too long." Xiao Shuochen pulled Chi Qing's arm to stop him from rubbing his temples, "Are you hungry? I'll ask someone to deliver breakfast?"

Chi Qing wanted to shake her head subconsciously, he didn't want to eat yet.But thinking of something, Chi Qing looked at Xiao Shuochen, "You haven't eaten yet?"

Xiao Shuochen: "I took care of some things just now, but I didn't take care of them."

——and it’s not fun to eat alone.

Xiao Shuochen added a sentence in his heart.

"Then eat some." Chi Qing said, then turned and went to the bathroom.

Today is Monday.

As a rule, all employees above the middle level have to come to the company half an hour early every Monday for a regular meeting to report on the work of the previous week and the work plan of the week.

Xiao Shuochen hosted it.

But today...

All the department managers of Yingguang sat in the conference room and waited until 8:37, and they, Mr. Xiao, hadn't arrived yet.

Normally, Xiao Shuochen would arrive at the meeting room at least 5 minutes earlier, but today's situation is really rare.

The meeting room gradually became a riot.

The usually serious bosses of various departments are gathering together to whisper and gossip.

"Mr. Xiao is actually late."

"Last time, an intern in our department was 5 minutes late, and he caught him and made him cry. Tsk tsk tsk, that little girl was still his fan before, but she didn't dare to follow after that."

"But speaking of it, since I came to the company, this is the first time he's late. Will something happen?"

"Damn, what can happen here? Maybe our black-hearted old Xiao is just immersed in the gentleness and overslept."

At this moment, Xiao Shuochen's assistant, Cheng Xi, walked into the meeting room with a tablet, on which was the black-hearted old Xiao who had overslept in the gentle village.

Cheng Xi put the tablet first, found a suitable angle to accommodate the managers on both sides of the conference table, and then stepped aside, ready to start the meeting minutes.

Everyone still hadn't reacted, Xiao Shuochen had already said in the video: "Sorry everyone, I can't go back to the company because of something. It took me some time to debug the equipment just now. You didn't speak ill of me just now, did you?"

All the managers shook their heads like rattles: "No no no no..."

With a chuckle, Xiao Shuochen said, "It's okay to say bad things, as long as the work is done well, it's OK. Let's talk about the progress of each project and this week's plan, and the public relations department will start first."

The weekly mid-level meetings are just for Xiao Shuochen to understand the progress of the company's projects. He doesn't like long speeches, and the managers have also been trained to say the most useful things in the shortest words.

The meeting ended in less than an hour.

Just when everyone was about to leave, the person in charge of the Propaganda Department was suddenly stopped.

"Arrange a suitable artist and send a soft advertisement to a barbecue stall in Hezhou."

Everyone: "???"

for what?

Xiao Shuochen ignored their surprise and continued: "The address will be sent to you later."

The video has been cut off.

All the managers cast sympathetic glances at the manager of the propaganda department who was close to Petrochemical, predicting that this poor little man would become a public enemy that everyone in the brokerage department would look down upon.

When going back, Xiao Shuochen was driving, but as he expected, he was stuck in the road.

Chi Qing sat in the co-pilot, holding the Wen Lingyu remnant from the two night owls in his hand to look at.

Xiao Shuochen drove the car forward little by little, and occasionally turned his head to look at him, "What is this for?"

At that time, after he finished interrogating the two night owls, he took this small piece of Wen Lingyu away on a whim.

Because it would break when he touched it, he was still careful and asked Lu Shuainan to help store it.

Chi Qing looked at the small jade on his fingertips, and frowned with an obvious arc: "Wen Lingyu, as the name suggests, can warm and nourish spiritual power."

"Warming up spiritual power?" Xiao Shuochen was puzzled.

Nodding, Chi Qing said while recalling: "Wen Lingyu has a very special effect. If a monk pours spiritual power into it, he can get the protection of Wen Lingyu, which will last for a long time."

It doesn't sound like anything special, Xiao Shuochen said, "It's not the same as Suo Lingcao."

"It's still different," Chi Qing explained, "Spiritual power can still be drawn out after being poured into the lock-spirit grass, but the spiritual power in Wen Lingyu will always exist in it, and it is difficult to be taken out."

"Then what's the use of this thing?"

Who wants to pour their spiritual power into a piece of jade when they have nothing to do?

As Chi Qing spoke, her brows frowned even tighter: "It can be used to control."

Wen Lingyu is very precious, and there is a lot of space inside.A piece the size of a fingernail is enough to store the spiritual power of nearly a hundred people.

And all those who pour spiritual power into Wen Lingyu will be controlled by the jade holder.

This is a method used by some human sects to control the disciples in the Great Wilderness.

Yaozu rarely does this.

At least as far as Chi Qing knew, there was no Phoenix clan.

Xiao Shuochen was dumbfounded.

This is equivalent to signing a lifetime non-dissolvable contract...

Xiao Shuochen pointed at Wen Lingyu, in disbelief: "Then they are willing to be controlled by this thing?"

Chi Qing: "No way, they need to show their loyalty."

"This... is too domineering." Xiao Shuochen sighed.

Chi Qing nodded, "It is indeed domineering. But using Wen Lingyu itself is a very exhausting task, and very few people can do it. Besides, the more people you control, the more exhausting you will be."

"That's not that scary." Xiao Shuochen drove forward again, suddenly remembered the origin of Wen Lingyu, and slammed on the brakes——

"Those two night owls, do you want to use this thing to control us?"

Chi Qing put Wen Lingyu in a small ziplock bag, "There is someone else."

Those two night owls were of mediocre strength, and it was absolutely impossible to control such a fetish as Wen Lingyu.

Even Chi Qing didn't believe that they could get Wen Lingyu.

So... there must be someone else behind them.

Putting Wen Lingyu back into Xiao Shuochen's wallet, Chi Qing tilted his head to look at him, and comforted him, "Don't be too nervous, you will be fine."

Xiao Shuochen felt scared belatedly, and his back felt cold.

He couldn't allow him to be nervous. If they hadn't met these two Ye Xiao, hadn't gotten this Wen Lingyu, and the two Ye Xiao had continued to coax other supernatural beings, what would have happened in the end?

No matter who is behind them, the consequences will be disastrous.

Exhaling slowly, Xiao Shuochen said, "Is there a way to get rid of this thing?"

Chi Qing: "It is true that there is."

"what?"

"Destroy the jade."

"..." Xiao Shuochen thought of Wen Lingyu who would shatter into scum when he touched it, "That's pretty easy to be destroyed."

Hearing this, she tilted her head and glanced at him, Chi Qing: "Wen Lingyu is as hard as a rock, indestructible."

Xiao Shuochen: "...?"

"Then I..."

"You are different." Chi Qing said.

Xiao Shuochen was slightly taken aback, "What's the difference?"

Chi Qing lowered her head and pondered for a moment, as if thinking about what to say.

After a while, he said slowly, "Your spiritual power is very...aggressive."

Shaking her head while speaking, Chi Qing: "No, maybe it should be called... Looting."

Xiao Shuochen: "Plunder?"

Seemingly quite satisfied with the term "looting", Chi Qing: "That's right, looting."

Taking out a small ball of lock grass that the two night owls gave to Xiao Shuochen, Chi Qing tapped her fingertips, and the gray-black ball turned green in the blink of an eye.

Chi Qing handed the green ball to Xiao Shuochen.

As soon as it touched Xiao Shuochen's palm, the tender green ball began to wither at an extremely fast speed, and quickly turned into a withered appearance.

Xiao Shuochen looked at his hand in shock.

Chi Qing put the ball away, "That's it. Maybe you have sucked away your spiritual power before you even realized it."

Xiao Shuochen had snatched Xiaozaoshu's spiritual power back then.

Xiao Shuochen gently shook his palm, Xiao Shuochen didn't expect that he still has this ability?

Suddenly turning his head to look at Chi Qing, Xiao Shuochen said, "Then you... I, you..."

Chi Qing: "What?"

Did I also suck away your spiritual power when I touched you so many times?
