Villain: After Intercepting the Female Lead, the Protagonist Collapses

Chapter 234: In My Eyes, You Are No Different from an Ant

“That’s right, follow the technique in the manual and remember the route of the energy flow. And there’s another gift…” Jiang Che smiled mysteriously and had the bodyguard who came with him throw Li Tian to the ground.

“This… is he the gift you mentioned?” Looking at the unconscious man lying on the ground, Shen Qingqiu frowned, her face a bit strange. She couldn’t understand what Jiang Che was up to.

“That’s right. Follow the manual I gave you, and you’ll understand.” Jiang Che smiled and explained.

Shen Qingqiu sat back on the sofa, thoughtfully flipping through the manual Jiang Che had given her. Jiang Che didn’t interrupt her, sitting quietly across from her, just watching.

“This… absorbing someone else’s inner energy to enhance your own cultivation?” After glancing at the introduction of the technique, Shen Qingqiu looked up at Jiang Che, her fair face full of shock.

She couldn’t believe Jiang Che would give her such a technique, and that such a technique even existed in the world. Now she understood why Jiang Che brought a man here. It was to let her learn the technique and then absorb his inner energy.

“That’s right, just remember the mental incantation, and you can start.”

“But… is it really okay for us to do this to him?” Shen Qingqiu glanced at the man lying on the ground, her expression hesitant.

She could feel that he was a martial artist and seemed quite young. If she absorbed all his inner energy, it would ruin his future.

Moreover, she had no deep hatred with this young man, and she couldn’t bring herself to do such a thing. Her morals wouldn’t allow it.

Jiang Che looked at Shen Qingqiu and had expected her reaction. Although Shen Qingqiu was cold to strangers and had a distant attitude, she still had her own moral boundaries.

After all, she was different from him. He had no morals or boundaries and wouldn’t feel any burden from harming others.

Thinking for a moment, Jiang Che slowly spoke.

“You don’t need to feel any burden. This guy may look decent, but he’s rotten to the core! He commits all kinds of crimes, burning, killing, and looting, and is extremely arrogant!”

“He relies on his martial arts to bully ordinary people…” Jiang Che said seriously, making up a bunch of lies about Li Tian.

“What a scum!” Hearing Jiang Che’s words, Shen Qingqiu’s face turned extremely cold, her eyes full of icy light as she stared at Li Tian.

Although she didn’t consider herself a good person, she had never used her family background or martial arts to oppress ordinary people.

She didn’t doubt Jiang Che’s words; there was no need to. If she didn’t even trust her fiancé, what was the point of being engaged to Jiang Che?

Without much hesitation, Shen Qingqiu picked up the Star Devouring Grand Technique and seriously started reading it again.

Being a martial artist herself, and with the technique explained in plain language, she found it not too difficult to understand. Most of the concepts were clear at first glance.

…

After about ten minutes, having memorized the mental incantation, Shen Qingqiu stood up from the sofa and walked over to Li Tian.

She had the guards drag him to a chair and was about to start absorbing his inner energy. Jiang Che stopped her and handed her a pair of white gloves.

Shen Qingqiu looked at Jiang Che, not understanding his intention, “Brother Che, what’s this for…?”

“Don’t let him dirty your hands; he’s not worth it.” Jiang Che said coldly, his words full of mockery towards Li Tian, showing no respect at all.

Indeed, although Li Tian was a young master of the Li family, he wasn’t recognized by the Li family. He was just an ordinary person with martial arts, and Jiang Che had never taken him seriously.

When a person stands high enough, ordinary people are no different from ants.

…

Shen Qingqiu rolled her eyes at Jiang Che, feeling a bit speechless. She didn’t expect him to be jealous even in this situation.

Wasn’t his possessiveness a bit too strong? After all, it was she who would be absorbing the man’s inner energy.

But Shen Qingqiu didn’t say much, obediently putting on the gloves. The more Jiang Che did this, the more it showed that he cared for her.

Putting on the white silk gloves, Shen Qingqiu walked up to Li Tian, placed her delicate hand on his head, and closed her eyes, starting to absorb his inner energy according to the method in the Star Absorbing Grand Technique.

Li Tian’s face visibly grew paler…

Jiang Che stood quietly by the side, not disturbing Shen Qingqiu. This was the most critical moment. He also had to be ready in case Li Tian woke up suddenly. After all, he was unconscious, not dead.

…

The process of absorbing inner energy went smoothly, and Li Tian showed no sign of waking up.

Shen Qingqiu withdrew her hand from Li Tian’s head and slowly opened her eyes. Feeling the inner energy in her body, Shen Qingqiu’s eyes were full of joy.

This single session was worth years of hard practice! She even felt on the verge of a breakthrough. She hadn’t expected this technique to be so miraculous, with such immediate effects.

“Congratulations, go ahead and break through.” Jiang Che said with a smile, sensing the aura of an impending breakthrough around Shen Qingqiu. He was genuinely happy for her.

After all, she was his woman, and her strong cultivation would also be a great help to him.

“I’ll be going to Tianhai City for a few days. If you miss me, just give me a call.” As if suddenly remembering something, Jiang Che smiled and said to Shen Qingqiu.

To prevent her from not being able to find him later, Jiang Che felt it necessary to inform her in advance.

“Why are you going to Tianhai City? On a business trip?” Shen Qingqiu frowned, looking at Jiang Che with some confusion.

She knew Jiang Che hadn’t started taking over the Jiang family’s business yet, so why would he need to go on a business trip?
