She Shocks The Whole World After Retirement

1091 Untitled

Naris pulled the clothes on Yu Huang’s back and reminded her and Sheng Xiao softly, “This is the mayor!”

Although Naris had never seen the mayor in person, she had seen him on television and on the news. She didn’t expect that the mayor was even more imposing in real life than on television.

Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao exchanged looks and used telepathy to communicate.

As the mayor of the Ice River City and the richest man in the entire Central Continent, Jun Qing had an aura similar to Sheng Lingfeng’s. Since they interacted with Sheng Lingfeng often, Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao were immune to this aura.

Therefore, Sheng Xiao and Yu Huang were not as nervous as Naris when they saw the mayor, Jun Qing.

A person’s appearance, temperament, and outfits could be changed. Only their soul aura was unique. As a Purifying Spirit Master, Yu Huang was used to using her psychic power to investigate a person’s soul aura.

Therefore, when she saw Jun Qing, Yu Huang subconsciously released the psychic energy in her body and silently extended the psychic tentacles into Jun Qing’s mind.

Jun Qing was only a Master. Psychic power was the purest and gentlest power in the world, like a warm sun during winter. Once it entered another person’s body, it would make them feel comfortable, instead of wary.

Therefore, when his psychic power entered Jun Qing’s body, Jun Qing didn’t notice anything strange. He only stopped and looked up at the sun in the sky suddenly as he thought to himself, “The sun is really warm today.”

At this moment, Yu Huang’s psychic power had already entered Jun Qing’s Spiritual Abode world.

She smelled Jun Qing’s soul.

A normal person’s soul aura only had a unique aura.

However, the strange thing was that this mayor’s soul had two auras.

The dominant aura was a cold and eerie aura. This aura was very similar to the aura emitted by the soul of a dying person. To put it simply, it was the aura of death. And the other aura was filled with the power of vitality, like…

Yu Huang looked at the peony garden in front of her.

It was the aura of a peony.

These two auras were mixed together strangely yet perfectly, injecting a trace of vitality into this soul that was supposed to have withered.

Yu Huang guessed where the peony aura came from.

It must be the mark Madam Brulee had left in Jun Qing’s soul.

Perhaps the mayor had already accepted his disfigurement and was indifferent towards death. He was probably even prepared to die at any time. However, Madam Brulee made him reluctant to part from this world.

Even if it was very painful to live, he was still willing to live in this world for Madam Brulee’s sake.

For a man who had lost his mother when he was young, was ignored by his father all year round, and was bullied by his stepmother and servants, Madam Brulee was like the warm sun.

At that moment, the mayor noticed Sheng Xiao and the others.

However, he didn’t walk towards them. He only tilted his head and asked the guards behind him, “Are they guests invited by Madam?”

The guard captain looked at Sheng Xiao and the others. Then, he thought for a while and said, “I heard that Madam is meeting her favorite perfumer today.”

“Perfumer?” The mayor remembered that Madam Brulee had become very fond of a perfumer called Naris in the past few years. She said that the perfumes made by that perfumer were very sensual and rich.

As a man, the mayor didn’t know what else a bottle of perfume could contain besides fragrance.

But since his wife said it, he believed her.

Out of gratitude to the perfumer, the mayor nodded at them as a greeting and turned to leave.

At this moment, the young woman with a high ponytail suddenly asked, “Sir, you’re suffering mentally and physically. You’re clearly in great pain, so I want to know why you still want to continue living?”

The mayor suddenly stopped in his tracks.

When the guard captain behind him heard Yu Huang’s bold words, his expression immediately changed.

The guard captain raised the weapon in his hand and berated Yu Huang, “How dare you! Do you know who the person in front of you is?! Hurry up and apologize to the mayor!”

In contrast to the guard captain’s indignant reaction, the mayor, Jun Qing, didn’t show any displeasure. His gaze, filled with contemplation and scrutiny, landed on Yu Huang for a long time.

After a moment, the mayor asked Yu Huang with interest, “You sensed my soul’s emotions?”

Jun Qing had never shown his pain to anyone. Even in front of Madam Brulee, he had portrayed himself as strong and fearless.

No one knew that his organs had long begun to fail inside his seemingly muscular and healthy body.

His cultivation level stopped at the Master Realm and he had yet to break through, so he should have died a hundred years ago. If it wasn’t for the fact that Madam Brulee hid in her room and cried often during that period of time, causing Jun Qing to be unable to bear to abandon Madam Brulee and die, he wouldn’t have spent so much money to buy a Longevity Pill from a pharmacist.

Madam Brulee only knew that the Longevity Pill was powerful and could extend his life by a hundred years. She didn’t know that the person who consumed the Longevity Pill was enduring the intense pain of his internal organs being gnawed on by the demonic insects.

The main ingredient for the Longevity Pill was a demonic insect with powerful vitality.

These demonic insects grew by absorbing the vitality of living people. They couldn’t be burned to death by pharmacists. Helpless, pharmacists forcefully imprisoned these demonic insects in medicinal pills. After Jun Qing consumed the Longevity Pill, the demonic insects would parasitize Jun Qing’s body and devour his flesh and blood to obtain vitality.

As it bit Jun Qing, it would also inject the vitality it had snatched from others into Jun Qing’s body. At the same time, it would continuously steal Jun Qing’s vitality.

This was actually a vicious cycle.

This cycle would last for a hundred years.

A hundred years later, after Jun Qing’s vitality was completely devoured by the demonic insect, he would age and die within a short period of time. The demonic insect would be taken away by the pharmacist again and refined into a Longevity Pill before being sent to the next host.

For the past hundred years, Jun Qing had been enduring the intense pain of the demonic insect biting his heart day and night.

However, he was the mayor of Ice River City and the richest man that the scientists of the Central Continent relied on, so he couldn’t show his pain. Therefore, no one in this world knew how much pain Jun Qing had been in the past hundred years. Other than Jun Qing himself, only the pharmacist who invented the Longevity Pill knew the truth.

For the woman in front of him to tell his true physical condition at a glance, there was only one possibility—

She could feel the pain in his soul.
