âOfficer, if you just let me goâŠâ
âIâll do anything!â
Great Ming, Hangzhou!
Inside the Zhenfu Divisionâs Zhao Prison.
A seductive-looking woman was bound to a torture rack.
The artfully chaotic bindings accentuated her graceful figure to its fullest.
Her fragrant words, delivered in a captivating and enchanting voice, reached Xu Shanâs ears across from her.
Three months ago, Xu Shan, who was still a super VIP member of Blue Starâs Red Romance, died suddenly on the front lines of battle due to overwork!
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself transmigrated into this high-martial Great Ming, a world plagued by Evil and where chivalry led to chaos, replacing the original owner and becoming a Captain of the Hangzhou Town Garrison!
At the same time, he also acquired the âTelepathy Vowâ systemâas long as he fulfilled the last wishes of the deceased, he would receive corresponding rewards.
The innate skill he awakenedâTelepathyâcould even restore scenes from a certain period before the deceasedâs death for Xu Shan through AI imaging.
It was through this divine ability that Xu Shan had investigated and solved over a dozen cold cases in these three months.
However, due to the victimsâ mediocre strength, the rewards Xu Shan received were pitifully low.
Just a few days ago, Duan Yu, the Prince of Dali, who had come to Hangzhou on a private visit, was found naked and tragically dead on a kang bed.
This case not only caused a huge uproar locally but also enraged the Empress when it reached the capital.
She ordered the Zhenfu Division to solve the case within a time limit.
And dispatched an Imperial Envoy to Hangzhou.
Xu Shan, who had previously shown his capabilities, was ordered to rush to the crime scene in this crisis.
With the enhancement of âTelepathy,â he pinpointed the criminal suspectâthe demoness, Hua Jieyu!
After secret deployment, the Jinyiwei (Imperial Guards) experts arrested her in the early hours of the morning.
While his superiors were out to greet the Imperial Envoy, Xu Shan interrogated this demoness.
âDing-dongâ
âTimed mission, countdown is 15 minutesâŠâ
ăMission Content 1: Fulfill Duan Yuâs last wishâAsk Hua Jieyu: Did you ever love me?ă
ăMission Reward: Twenty years of cultivation!ă
ăMission Content 2: Fulfill Duan Yuâs last wishâNo matter what Hua Jieyu says, you must fly together with her, to the Yellow Springs!ă
ăMission Reward: Lingbo Micro Step!ă
âShe drained you dry with her demonic art, and youâre still asking if she loves you?â
âDamn, a pure love warrior.â
âAnd âfly together, to the Yellow Springsâ?â
âQuite romantic, arenât we!â
Every time he heard the system prompt, Xu Shan couldnât help but inwardly complain!
âOfficer, Iâm talking to you!â
Seeing Xu Shan lost in thought, Hua Jieyu mistakenly thought he was captivated by her, so she deliberately leaned her face close to his ear.
While exhaling hot breath, she also lightly bit his earlobe!
This move, Hua Jieyu had used for decades in the pleasure quarters, and it almost never failed.
In her opinion, this young man in front of her definitely couldn't resist her charm.
As long as he unsealed her bindings and acupoints, Hua Jieyu believed that with her Innate Second-Grade strength, she would have a chance to escape the Zhao Prison while he was unprepared.
âHiss!â
The sudden sharp pain instantly brought Xu Shan back to his senses.
When he saw Hua Jieyu, with her alluring eyes, hinting at something with her gazeâŠ
Xu Shanâs entire face turned cold!
âYou⊠you bit my ear?â
âSlap, slap!â
As his words fell, Xu Shan gave her a series of fierce slaps across the face.
These powerful slaps not only stunned Hua Jieyu but also made the two Zhenfu Division strongmen guarding outside watch in horror!
âN-not good. Shan Ge is acting up again!â
âQuick, go inform Qin Zongqi.â
âDonât let him kill the prisoner again.â
âAh? Yes!â
The strongman, whose scalp was tingling, knew better than anyoneâŠ
This master in front of them had interrogated several heinous criminals to death in three months.
Although he had solved many cases, he had also been locked in the dungeon more than once.
If this fellow went crazy, let alone these strongmen, even the Zongqi wouldnât be able to stop him.
âDid you ever love Duan Yu?â
âHmm?â
When they saw Xu Shan pulling Hua Jieyuâs hair and asking this, the strongmen at the door, who dared not enter, were completely dumbfounded.
Is Shan Geâs thought process that bizarre?
âSlap!â
âIâm asking you a question!â
âDo I have to force you with torture?â
Hua Jieyu, who had always been the hunter but was now bitten by the prey, looked at this beast-like man with eyes full of anger.
Damn it, is he lacking love?
Why is he so ruthless?
But seeing the other party holding a red-hot branding iron, Hua Jieyu, in order to stabilize this fellow, answered against her will: âI did!â
âDing-dong!â
ăCongratulations, Host, you have completed Timed Mission 1ă
ăReward: Twenty years of cultivation!ă
ăPlease, Host, complete Timed Mission 2 as soon as possible. There are less than ten minutes remaining.ă
Hua Jieyu was a major criminal!
Once she was killed, let alone explaining to the Zhenfu Division, even the Imperial Envoy who would arrive soon might not let him off.
But the temptation of ăLingbo Micro Stepă made Xu Shan already draw his blade and pounce towards Hua Jieyu with a menacing look.
âYou, what are you doing?â
âDamn it, loved him and still used a cruel hand? Deserves to die.â
âPfft, pfftâŠâ
Hua Jieyu, who was stabbed multiple times, widened her eyes and said, âI didnât love him, I didnât love him.â
âDeceiving for sex and taking a life? Even more deserving of death!â
Until her death, Hua Jieyu desperately wanted to know the correct answer to this deadly question.
âClang.â
The strongman at the door was so scared that he immediately stumbled back several steps.
After scrambling to his feet, he also ran out of the Zhao Prison.
At this moment, Xu Shan was immersed in the joy of the system rewards arriving.
âDing-dong!â
ăCongratulations, Host, you have completed Timed Mission 2ă
ăReward: Lingbo Micro Step!ă
âPanel!â
Upon hearing this, Xu Shan directly summoned the interface.
The next second, his personal information appeared before his eyes.
ăHost: Xu Shan!ă
ăRealm: Houtian Third-Grade!ă
ăPhysique: Innate Pure Yang Body!ă
ăDivine Ability: Telepathy!ă PS: The base duration for Telepathy is (5) multiplied by the realm (3).
ăCultivation Techniques: Basic Blade Arts (Grand Completion), Basic Movement Technique (Grand Completion), Lingbo Micro Step (Not Initiated)ă
ăAvailable Cultivation Value: Twenty!ă
In this high-martial world, the path of martial cultivation is divided into three major realms: Houtian, Xiantian, and Grandmaster.
Each major realm is further subdivided into nine grades!
Where one is 'lowest' and nine is 'highest'.
And cultivation techniques are divided into Mortal Grade, Low-Tier, High-Tier, Peerless, and Supreme.
Relying on the cultivation value accumulated from previous cases, Xu Shan had pushed both the Mortal Grade Blade Arts and Basic Movement Technique taught by the Zhenfu Division to Grand Completion.
He himself had also advanced to Houtian Third-Grade.
Now having obtained the Peerless martial artâLingbo Micro StepâXu Shan was very much looking forward to how much he would improve.
âUse all twenty years of cultivation to deduce ăLingbo Micro Stepă.â
âWhoosh!â
As Xu Shan gave the command, while his available cultivation value reset to zero, the profound mysteries and true essence of ăLingbo Micro Stepă were carved into his mind as if by knife and axe, enlightening him instantlyâŠ
