I Stepped on a Bug, and the System Says I Slayed a Dragon?-Chapter 137: Is Xia He in Trouble?

Over the next few days,

Even though Qin Yang was living it up in his villa, he still had to go to work as usual.

Now that he suddenly owned a villa, he was feeling a little giddy, his steps almost floating.

Going from frugal to extravagant... the leap was just too big!

It was utterly decadent!

"Pah! So extravagant!"

Qin Yang slacked off, sitting on his small stool and glancing at his colleagues. He couldn’t shake the guilty feeling of being secretly rich.

’We all agreed to slack off together.’

’But then you go and get a huge villa without a word?!’

"Tsk, tsk. So this is what it feels like to get rich overnight," Qin Yang sighed.

He glanced over at Area 2 and noticed that Li Qinghe hadn’t come to work today either.

Furthermore, his silly apprentice, Li Zixuan, hadn’t been to the library recently.

She had called before, saying she was busy with matters at the Jianghai Martial Arts Academy and couldn’t get away. She apologized profusely to her "senior brother."

"I wonder how that kid Xia He is doing."

Qin Yang took out his phone, scrolling through his contacts and checking his call history.

He had called Xia He several times over the past few days, but he never got a response. The line was always busy.

He recalled Xia He mentioning a dispatch from the Police Bureau a few days ago.

He figured Xia He was probably on some secret mission right now.

’He hasn’t replied in so long...’

’Don’t tell me that kid’s gotten into trouble?’

Qin Yang scrolled worriedly through his contacts, but then he remembered the Star Stone he had given him and immediately felt relieved, no longer fretting.

’As long as the Array isn’t activated...’

’It means Xia He is fine. At worst, he’s just out in some remote backwater carrying out a mission for the Police Bureau.’

It was nothing to worry about.

Jianghai City was currently in turmoil, and the staff of the Star Martial Police Bureau were the busiest of all.

Major cases involving Cult Demons were constantly popping up in the top search results. Panic spread, and many people had already fled the city by plane to seek refuge.

While the whole of Jianghai City was in a state of crisis, Qin Yang alone was lazing around as usual.

Slacking off at work, eating after work.

His days passed as peacefully as still water.

"Everyone’s busy. It’s no fun being the only one relaxing."

Qin Yang got up, patted his rear, and clocked out precisely on time. He took Xiaobai with him and leisurely returned to his Fuhai Villa.

.....

After dinner that evening, Qin Yang strolled onto the second-floor balcony with a toothpick dangling from his mouth to admire the distant mountain scenery. Down below, Xiaobai was frolicking in the spacious yard, rolling around on the grass.

"Master, come down and play!"

After moving into the new house, the white-haired little loli was the happiest of all.

As a member of the Fox Race, she was naturally extremely sensitive to the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. The moment she arrived at the Fuhai Villa, she had cried out in excitement.

Spiritual Qi gathered everywhere here.

It was a natural treasure land of Spiritual Charm, several times richer than any other place. To her, it was paradise.

"Go on, you have fun by yourself."

Qin Yang looked down at her from above without paying her much mind. He was more interested in gazing into the distance, continuing to survey the layout of the area.

The Fuhai Villa Complex.

Back when he was slacking off at work, he often heard Xia He bragging about how amazing this place was. Xia He had said his own father had just barely missed out on getting a spot, and that his dream was to one day live here.

At first,

Qin Yang had thought the media had just hyped the place up, that it was all for show.

But now that he was actually here, he realized...

There really was something to it!

"This is the work of an expert."

Qin Yang looked to the southwest, examining the layout.

It was surrounded by mountains and rivers, with immortal cranes flying in unison. The magnificent vermilion pavilions, built with archaic green bricks, seemed to hold nearly a century of history.

It was breathtaking!

Every single building in this Fuhai Villa Complex had been arranged with strict requirements and special techniques during its initial planning, creating a natural Qi Gathering Array.

Not only was it majestic,

but it was also embraced by the Lingshan Clear Spring, causing the already abundant Spiritual Qi to concentrate even further, reaching an unbelievable level!

"This is much stronger than the small Qi Gathering Array I had at home."

"The landscape nurtures people, and the Dao’s charm is born from nature."

Bored, Qin Yang leaned against the railing. His gaze traveled far, passing over numerous pavilions to lock directly onto the core complex of the Li Family.

That was the Li Family’s most important territory.

It was brightly lit at this hour. Hall Master Li Daoming lived there, right at the central eye of the entire Spirit Gathering Array.

The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi converged there, nourishing the Fuhai District, with even the outer edges receiving considerable benefits.

"With such a grand design, it’s no wonder the prices were driven to astronomical heights."

Qin Yang yawned, recalling that the Li Family was also a renowned Array Dao Family.

Since they could produce a Divine Artifact like the Ten Thousand Array Map,

it was perfectly reasonable that their ancestors could have used the landscape to lay out a Heaven and Earth Array, a plan spanning a hundred years.

For it to have developed to such a magnificent scale today...

it was truly a source of pride for the Li Family.

"But it’s a pity... there are still many imperfections."

Looking at the layout, Qin Yang could easily spot some of its flaws, but he couldn’t be bothered to care.

He had something more important to do right now.

And that was to comprehend the Wood Law Fragment!

Today was the final day for comprehending the Law.

"It’s about time to wrap this up."

Thinking of this,

Qin Yang’s consciousness sank into the Enlightenment Space.

Inside the Enlightenment Space,

the Law Fragment had taken root and sprouted. Its tendrils multiplied and spread out endlessly, containing an extremely dense life force.

"Fuse!"

With a thought, Qin Yang immersed his consciousness into the Wood Law Fragment.

His breathing became even and deep.

With each breath,

the flowers and plants in the courtyard stirred. Bathed in the cool moonlight, they broke through the soil, stretching their branches and blooming all at once.

In just a few moments,

on what should have been a bleak early autumn night with a cold wind blowing, the courtyard burst into bloom. The garden was filled with an unstoppable spring vibrancy, a scene of prosperous growth reborn.

Roses, morning glories, violets, lilies... Pear blossoms bloomed on the trees, as if snow had fallen overnight.

The little white-haired loli lay barefoot in the soft sea of flowers, pillowing her head on her fluffy fox tail. She gazed up at Qin Yang on the second floor, already used to such sights.

’Day in and day out...’

’Master is either comprehending something or on his way to comprehending something.’

’Other people count how many times they can comprehend a Law in a lifetime, but for him, you count how many times he does it in a day!’

Under the moonlight, Xiaobai closed her eyes in the sea of flowers, resigned.

’There’s no comparison.’

’How could this Fairy possibly compare?!’

’He’s practically an Innate Comprehension Saint Body!’

.....

A moment later.

"Hooo..."

Qin Yang slowly exhaled, retracted his consciousness, and contentedly stopped his comprehension.

His comprehension of the Wood Law was complete.

He had now fully absorbed it.

"With this sliver of a Law Fragment, I should be able to enter the Venerable Realm within a month."

Qin Yang was very satisfied with this result.

Just then,

Suddenly!

A ripple from an Array spread through his mind.

"Hm? It was activated?"

Qin Yang was astonished, his relaxed brows knitting together once more.

Just now,

The Array he had left for Xia He was activated!
