Super Rich by Doing as You Please-Chapter 64: Practicing the Eight Pieces of Brocade, Mighty and Unyielding

Chapter 64: Chapter 64: Practicing the Eight Pieces of Brocade, Mighty and Unyielding

In another ordinary apartment in Jiangcheng.

Jiang Peiyao had just gotten a taste of what it felt like to be rich during the day, only for a call from the bank that evening to mercilessly drag her back to reality.

A lack of money can fell even the mightiest hero.

She had previously mortgaged her apartment with the bank for 300,000 to pay for her younger brother’s surgery fees!

Now, the repayment deadline had arrived.

There was no way she could repay this money!

She didn’t have the money to repay it!

Her entire savings only amounted to a little over 100,000.

She was still short by more than half.

Where was she supposed to come up with that much money in such a short time?!

If she couldn’t repay it by the deadline, the bank would repossess her apartment and force it to auction.

Then she wouldn’t even have a place to live!

Don’t be fooled by her position as a store manager with a decent salary of over 20,000 a month.

She had a mortgage and a car loan, not to mention a sick younger brother. The high monthly expenses were something an ordinary person could never bear.

So for all these years, she had maintained a glamorous facade, but in reality, her earnings couldn’t cover her expenses.

Over the years, thanks to her beautiful looks and great figure, it wasn’t that no men pursued her—in fact, there were many. But most of them were not in a great or ideal financial situation.

And because of her brother’s situation, she didn’t dare to casually get into a relationship.

The moment they found out she had a sick younger brother, they would surely break up with her.

No one would be willing to share such a huge financial burden with her.

And she didn’t want to find a man who couldn’t help her financially!

But she was, after all, a woman in her mid-twenties.

Whether she wanted to admit it or not, basic biological instinct meant she had physical and psychological needs.

Every time she lay in bed alone at night, the long nights were hard to endure, and she could only fall asleep with the help of sleeping pills.

The next day, she would have to get up and go to work as if nothing was wrong, not letting anyone see through her pretense.

No one knew of the suffering she endured during these nights.

This was a kind of suffering she would never tell anyone about.

"Why can’t I meet a man like Xu Yun!" Still fully clothed, Jiang Peiyao stepped right into the bathtub filled with water.

She closed her eyes, soaking her body in the hot water, trying to escape the troubles and helplessness of reality.

Then, an image of Xu Yun uncontrollably surfaced in Jiang Peiyao’s mind once again.

...

The next day, Xu Yun climbed out of bed, rubbing his lower back.

At the time, he was only focused on the pleasure and didn’t think much of it, but now his back really was a little sore.

He hadn’t really rested at all recently.

’If this keeps up, am I going to be drained dry by women?’

Just then, the System’s voice suddenly rang out.

[Detected that Host’s physical condition is subpar. When faced with temptation, you are unable to Do as You Please and find your strength unequal to your will. Reward: One copy of the modified Cultivation Technique, "Eight Pieces of Brocade."]

[Eight Pieces of Brocade: Practice this Cultivation Technique once in the morning and once at night to bolster your core, become mighty and unyielding, and rise above the ordinary man.]

Xu Yun: "!!!"

’System, you’re fucking amazing.’

’This is something that can’t be measured in mere money.’

As the System’s reward was delivered, a familiar Cultivation Technique suddenly appeared in Xu Yun’s mind.

To test its effects, he got dressed, decisively walked out onto the balcony, and began his morning exercises.

Although it was Xu Yun’s first time practicing it, his body’s muscle memory made it feel as if he had done it countless times before; it was exceptionally familiar.

His form was impeccable.

Having just finished making breakfast, Ning Qian came out of the kitchen. Seeing the scene, she walked over and watched quietly from the side, not wanting to disturb him.

After Xu Yun finished, she asked curiously, "What were you just practicing?"

"Kung fu!"

"What kind of kung fu?"

"Hard kung fu."

After finishing his practice, Xu Yun indeed felt that his back wasn’t as sore anymore. There was also a warm current in his lower abdomen, making it feel slightly hot.

What had been exhausted seemed to spring back to life.

Looking at Ning Qian, who was wearing only a thin nightgown, Xu Yun was suddenly overcome with the desire to test the efficacy of this Cultivation Technique.

And so, amid Ning Qian’s surprised cries, Xu Yun carried her into the living room and performed another round of "morning exercises" as they greeted the rising sun.

After they were finished, the two took a shower together and then started eating breakfast.

While they were eating, Ning Qian said with some concern, "You’re so frequent... is your body okay?"

Women are different from men.

As the saying goes, ’You only ever hear of the bull being worked to death, never of the field being over-plowed.’

"I’m fine."

Hearing this, Xu Yun couldn’t help but laugh. "My body is in great shape. I won’t make you a widow."

Ning Qian: "..."

"Oh, right. I have a gift for you."

Xu Yun took a small 300-gram gold bar from his small case and placed it in front of Ning Qian.

"For me?" Ning Qian was a little surprised.

’He just gives out gold bars at the drop of a hat! Who could possibly stand up to that!’

’And compared to the 30-gram one last time, this one is so much bigger!’

’300 grams! At the current market price of 580 yuan per gram, that’s almost 180,000 yuan!’

’He gave it to me just like that, without even batting an eye.’

"Yeah."

Ning Qian really wanted it, but she didn’t take it right away.

Instead, she asked, "Isn’t this the birthday gift you were going to give your mother? If you give it to me, what about her?"

"It’s fine. I’ll just buy her a new set."

Xu Yun said casually, "This set was incomplete anyway. Besides, I have to give a piece to someone else later."

Ning Qian: "Oh..."

’She knew that the "someone else" Xu Yun mentioned was probably one of his other women.’

’But she didn’t care. As long as she got one too, that was enough.’

’She had never thought she could have Xu Yun all to herself.’

’That was unrealistic, impossible even!’

’Besides, the biggest bar in the case was only 500 grams. He gave her the 300-gram one. Did that mean she was his second-favorite woman?’

At this thought, Ning Qian’s heart filled with sweetness.

’Because being second was already very good.’

"By the way, let me ask you something."

It suddenly occurred to Xu Yun that he would be moving to Jinyuan soon, which meant this apartment would be empty.

Rather than letting it sit empty, it would be better to let Ning Qian live here. That way, it would be more convenient for him to visit her.

"What is it?"

Xu Yun asked, "Would you want to live here?"

"Huh?" Ning Qian didn’t quite understand what Xu Yun meant.

’Is he asking me to be the mistress of the house?’

"I mean, you should move in here."

Xu Yun explained, "If you’re willing, you won’t have to squeeze into an apartment with your colleagues anymore.

After all, it’s inconvenient for making phone calls or taking video calls.

I don’t come back here often anyway, so the place will just be sitting empty. As long as you don’t leave me, you can live here indefinitely."

"I’m willing! Of course, I’m willing," Ning Qian said, feeling overwhelmed by the favor.

’To have her own apartment to live in, and for free? Of course she was willing.’

’If circumstances hadn’t forced her, who would want to live in a staff dormitory?’

’Happiness came too quickly today.’

’Xu Yun was giving her a gold bar and an apartment... he was simply too good to her.’

Ning Qian did a quick calculation in her head. The 200,000 yuan meal card, the previous bag and gold bar, plus this new gold bar gift...

In less than a week, Xu Yun had already spent more than 400,000 yuan on her.

And that wasn’t even counting the apartment!

’Look at those colleagues in the store who tried to hook up with rich men. Which one of them had it better than her?’

’The men they were with were, at best, just playing around.’

’Most of those men were not only old but also stingy—nothing like Xu Yun, who was handsome, generous, and treated her so well.’

’Crucially, he was also terrifyingly strong in *that* certain aspect!’

’This morning, after he finished his "kung fu" practice, she almost couldn’t handle him.’
