"Hey, are you misunderstanding something? Do you even know what I'm about to say? I'm shameless, okay?" Ye Xiao said, "Huh? Are you actually thinking about that? Look, Miss Song, don't judge a gentleman by the standards of a petty person, alright?"

Petty person? Gentleman?

Song Jiamin was almost on the verge of losing it upon hearing Ye Xiao's words. How could he be so shameless, comparing himself to a gentleman? But then again, it seemed she really was thinking that way. However, Song Jiamin was convinced that Ye Xiao couldn't possibly be that kind-hearted!

"Then what's your method?" Song Jiamin didn't want to give Ye Xiao any reason to mock her, so she promptly shifted the topic to the method of quick martial arts training he was talking about.

Ye Xiao immediately let out a light chuckle and said, "I guarantee it won't be anything like what you're thinking!"

"Ye Xiao!" When Song Jiamin saw that Ye Xiao was joking around again, she frowned immediately.

Ye Xiao's smile didn't fade, but he spoke up, "I've got a type of elixir that can help you with your cultivation. After your body absorbs it, the effect of your cultivation could increase by up to eleven or twelve times."

"What?" Song Jiamin was taken aback by Ye Xiao's words. She had thought Ye Xiao might use some medicinal drugs that could make cultivations a bit faster. She hadn't expected much because haste makes waste, right? But now Ye Xiao was claiming it could increase effectiveness by eleven or twelve times. Leaving aside that number for now, even just ten times—if her cultivation could improve by that much, wouldn't her strength skyrocket?

But still...

Song Jiamin suddenly looked toward Ye Xiao, frowning, and said, "You're not joking with me, are you?"

"Do you think I'm joking with you?" Ye Xiao asked.

Song Jiamin said, "But you've also said that haste makes waste!"

"Yes, I've said that, but the haste makes waste applies when you resort to improper shortcuts."

"So this isn't a sneaky shortcut?" Song Jiamin immediately retorted.

Ye Xiao quickly replied, "So are you going to use it or not? If you don't want to, I won't force you. Or is it that you're a bit scared to use it?"

"Hmph, scared of what? What's it going to do to me?" Song Jiamin said with an aloof expression, "What is it? Bring it out."

Ye Xiao could tell that Song Jiamin was eager to take it immediately. Her desire to rapidly increase her strength was incredibly strong!

Ye Xiao let out a soft chuckle and said, "I can't give it to you now. We'll need to find a secluded place to discuss it. Oh, right, it's not something to be eaten; you need to take a bath with it."

"A bath?" Song Jiamin became even more puzzled!

"That's right, you'll soak in the bathtub, then the elixir will be added to the bath, and your body will fully absorb the medicine," Ye Xiao explained!

"You're not kidding, are you?" Song Jiamin asked, "Won't that be bad for the skin?"

Now, Song Jiamin wasn't worried about whether Ye Xiao would be there in front of the bathtub. She had gotten used to him. After all, Ye Xiao had touched her body more than once or twice. The last time at the Noel Hotel, both of them had been quite wild. Song Jiamin's attitude towards Ye Xiao had already improved greatly, but today, as soon as she entered Yang Ming's office and saw Ling Shuya and the others having lunch and laughing with Ye Xiao, Song Jiamin suddenly felt as if something had been snatched away from her in that moment, and she became very upset. However, since there were so many people around, she managed not to show her feelings, acting as if nothing had happened!

"It won't be. It will actually be quite beneficial to your skin!" Ye Xiao said, "Don't worry, I wouldn't want your skin to get bad, because then the touch would be..."

Ye Xiao didn't continue speaking because Song Jiamin had already looked up and was glaring at him fiercely.

Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "Find some time, just two hours should be enough. Oh, not today, at least not right now."

"Hmph, I know you're busy now. Go on, don't stick around here anymore." Song Jiamin started to shoo him away!

Ye Xiao smiled faintly and then turned to walk out. However, as he reached the door and grabbed the knob, he suddenly turned his head back with a mischievous grin and said, "Minmin, don't be jealous."

When Song Jiamin heard Ye Xiao's words, she immediately looked up, but by that time, the wretch had already left.

Song Jiamin looked at the now closed office door, furrowing her brows slightly and murmuring to herself, "Am I jealous? No, I am definitely not jealous. How could I possibly be jealous? Hmph, that stinky Ye Xiao clearly did it on purpose."

But whether she was jealous or not, only Song Jiamin herself knew the true answer.

Nevertheless, the elixir that Ye Xiao spoke of for rapidly enhancing strength certainly piqued Song Jiamin's interest.

As for Ye Xiao, after leaving Song Jiamin's office, he leisurely made his way back to Yang Ming's office. Upon entering, he saw Yang Ming, who had apparently just arrived, being surrounded by Ling Shuya and a group of others.

"I really didn't, I wouldn't dare, that's Brother Xiao!" Yang Ming was vigorously explaining, but Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan were relentless, questioning him sentence after sentence.

When Yang Ming saw Ye Xiao enter the office, he looked toward him as if seeing a lifesaver and said, "Brother Xiao, save me!"

Upon seeing Yang Ming's plight, Ye Xiao burst into laughter and said to Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan, "Don't be hard on Yang Ming. I'm staying very comfortably here."

"That's right, Brother Xiao is my Brother Xiao. How could I not take good care of him? You can rest assured, Brother Xiao here is definitely more comfortable than at his own home!" Yang Ming was eager to show his merit!

"Hey, what do you mean by that?" Ling Shuya seized on Yang Ming's words and said immediately, "What? Are you planning to provide a few female officers to entertain your Brother Xiao? I mean, you're the head of the Guard Bureau. How can you do such a thing?"

"I didn't! I really didn't!" Yang Ming, though in his late twenties, sounded like an abused child at that moment.

Then Shen Qiuyu said, "Shuya, you forgot, Ye Xiao was at home last night!"

"Oh right, ah, but no!" Ling Shuya immediately turned to Yang Ming and said, "You haven't done it yet, is it just that you haven't had the chance?"

"No, really, my dear aunt, please let me go. I'll give you my office; just let me off like a fart in the wind, I really can't take this torment anymore!" If it was anyone else, Yang Ming would have been furious, but he knew these people were all closely connected to Ye Xiao, so how dare he speak his mind!
