Chapter 869: Jiang Shuying

"Huh?"

Upon hearing Qin Changqing's words, the security guard's expression instantly froze.

He didn't actually have an uncle who was a supervisor at Tongtian Company; he was just trying to bluff Qin Changqing to show off.

If he really had such connections, why would he only be working as a lowly security guard!

Little did he expect that not only did his bluff fail to intimidate the other party, but it also landed him in a sticky situation.

"I…"

The security guard stammered for a while before stubbornly insisting, "Such a trivial matter doesn't require my uncle's involvement. How about this: you compensate me with a few hundred thousand, and we'll call it even!"

Qin Changqing immediately understood—this guy was just full of hot air!

He couldn't help but find it amusing. A few hundred thousand?

This guy was trying to extort money from a deity! It was hard to say whether he was lucky or unlucky!

He had just settled on Blue Star and had many treasures on hand, but he didn't have a single cent to his name.

A few hundred thousand?

He couldn't even produce a single dollar right now!

Given his current strength, he had no desire to bother too much with a mere Mortal.

Moreover, he had just returned to his hometown and truly didn't want to cause unnecessary bloodshed. Besides, although this guy was annoying, he didn't deserve death.

After all, his injury was indeed related to him.

This wasn't kindness, nor was it being overly merciful—it was a matter of perspective!

How could a lofty deity easily haggle over trifles with an ant?

Qin Changqing shook his head slightly and, with a flip of his hand, produced a pendant crafted from Fire Spirit Essence. The crimson, translucent pendant seemed to have magma flowing within it, breathtakingly beautiful.

"I don't have any cash on me. Take this as a gift!"

He handed the pendant over.

The security guard glanced at it and immediately sneered, "Do you think I'm an idiot? Trying to fob me off with this piece of junk? No way! This looks like cheap street vendor trash! Besides, I, the mighty Little Overlord of Tongtian, am no woman—what would I want with this? I'm telling you, without two hundred thousand today, you're not going anywhere!"

Qin Changqing sighed.

This item was indeed nothing special to him—it was just a piece of jewelry he had made before his Ascension. But for Mortals, it was an absolute treasure.

Although this pendant was an accessory, the Formation and Restriction embedded within it were enough to withstand a full-force strike from an expert at the Tribulation stage.

If a Mortal wore it, they could remain unscathed even at the epicenter of a nuclear explosion!

Brainless fool, thinking you're clever—no wonder you'll be poor for life!

Just then, a thrilling roar suddenly echoed from the distance.

Immediately afterward, an incredibly cool red aircraft hovered at the entrance of the residential area. The window rolled down, revealing a stunning woman in a red dress with a fiery figure and long hair. She wore oversized sunglasses, obscuring her face, but her exposed crimson lips were so enticing that one couldn't help but want to take a bite.

"What's going on?"

The woman in the red dress asked with a frown.

Upon seeing her, the security guard's expression immediately turned serious.

This woman was named Jiang Shuying, a long-time resident of Tongtian Garden and a household-name celebrity. Rumor had it that her background was no simple matter, and she had countless suitors!

"Young Miss Jiang, this person isn't a resident and tried to force his way into the residential area. To protect the safety of the homeowners, I fearlessly fought the assailant. Unfortunately, the assailant was too fierce, and I, the hero, was injured. Now we're discussing compensation…"

The security guard hastily embellished the story.

Qin Changqing couldn't help but roll his eyes.

This guy was truly wasted as a security guard.

Jiang Shuying was no fool and immediately noticed the holes in the security guard's story.

Her gaze swept over and landed on Qin Changqing. Then, her beautiful eyes behind the sunglasses suddenly lit up.

What a handsome man!

His appearance was gentle yet masculine.

Majestic and elegant, as warm and smooth as jade, his slightly upturned lips carried both an approachable warmth and a detached indifference toward all living beings. In one word, he was peerlessly charismatic!

In her over twenty years of life, she had traveled all over the world and met many celebrities and important figures from various countries, but this was the first time she had seen a man this handsome!

Moreover, this man's skin was even better than hers—like that of a newborn baby, emitting a faint white glow in the sunlight.

Perfect!

Too perfect!

For a moment, Jiang Shuying felt somewhat dazzled.

With just one glance, she was deeply captivated by this man.

"Young Miss Jiang, you should head back first. Don't worry, I can handle this matter and won't cause any trouble for the homeowners!"

The security guard urged repeatedly.

Jiang Shuying snapped back to reality and said calmly, "If he were an assailant who injured you, why didn't he run away? And why is he calmly discussing compensation with you?"

"Uh…"

The security guard was taken aback, then argued, "Although this guy is audacious, he was intimidated by my Aura, so he didn't dare continue his violence. Young Miss Jiang, you should hurry inside. This guy is no good—if he goes on a rampage again, it could be dangerous!"

Jiang Shuying didn't believe a word he said. Instead, she turned to Qin Changqing and asked, "Little brother, are you trying to enter the residential area to find someone? I've lived here for a long time—maybe I can help!"

Qin Changqing smiled and nodded. "That would be best. Thank you!"

With that, he didn't stand on ceremony and directly opened the car door, sitting in the passenger seat. Immediately, he caught a whiff of an alluring fragrance.

"Hey, hey, hey! Who said you could get into Young Miss Jiang's car? Get out now!"

Seeing Qin Changqing get into Jiang Shuying's car, the security guard panicked. He strode over, his face filled with anger. "How dare someone like you sit in Young Miss Jiang's car? Our business isn't finished yet. If you don't get out now, I won't be polite! I'm counting to three!"

He blustered fiercely, putting on a show of being about to take action.

Qin Changqing looked puzzled. "What unfinished business do we have?"

The security guard fumed. "You broke my arm, and you're asking me… Huh?"

He suddenly froze, realizing that his arm, which had been twisted and deformed from the impact, was now completely restored. Not only were the bones back in place, but even the scrapes from his fall had vanished.

What was going on?

This was bizarre!

The security guard was utterly bewildered, wondering if he had hallucinated earlier.

"Since there's no issue, I'll be on my way!"

Qin Changqing patted the car door, giving instructions as if he were the owner. "Drive!"

Jiang Shuying had no objections to this. On the contrary, she felt exceptionally pleased and obediently quickly rolled up the window. The car roared again and soon disappeared from the security guard's sight.

"My arm was clearly broken earlier. How did it suddenly heal? Did I really misremember earlier?"

The security guard scratched the back of his head, utterly perplexed as he watched the aircraft vanish into the distance.

In the aircraft, Qin Changqing glanced at the pendant he hadn't managed to give away earlier and casually tossed it into Jiang Shuying's lap. "Since you helped me, this is for you!"
