Fortunately, regardless of the current situation of the Wuxian Sect, at least Zachary Woods accepted Jack Carter—a final disciple who carries the ancient bloodline inheritance of the Witch King Xia Yu—before passing away. In him, Zachary Woods saw the rise of not only the Wuxian Sect but the entire Wu lineage, so Zachary Woods left this world with great comfort and little regret.

"Master, please rest assured, I will definitely remember your teachings!" Gently turning the ring on the little finger of his left hand, Jack Carter silently vowed in his heart.

After making this silent promise, Jack Carter composed himself, turned around, and opened the bedroom door, preparing to go to the washroom to freshen up.

Opening the bedroom door, Jack Carter instinctively glanced toward the sofa in the living room.

On the sofa, the female elite—who was also the deputy director of the city public security bureau, Laura Quinn—had only a sheet draped across her body from below her navel to the tops of her thighs, barely covering the most alluring parts, while the rest was completely exposed to the air.

Her snow-white, shapely thighs, the two towering, trembling peaks of her chest, and her fair, voluptuous body were all almost entirely revealed before Jack Carter's eyes. On the floor beside the sofa lay a white shirt, black skinny pants, a yellow lace-trimmed bra, and even a palm-sized black sexy thong with two straps. It was easy to imagine that there was nothing else under that sheet.

Even though Jack Carter had just finished cultivating and his mind was unusually calm, the sudden appearance of such a stunning scene instantly stirred the surging blood of a young man within him. A wicked fire shot up from his lower abdomen without warning, making him almost step forward to lift the sheet and see for himself.

Perhaps the sound of the door opening woke Laura Quinn. Just as Jack Carter was being aroused by her mature and sensual body, his eyes burning with desire, Laura Quinn opened her eyes.

As soon as she opened her eyes, Laura Quinn saw Jack Carter—a young and unfamiliar man whose eyes were fixed on her with intense heat.

After all, Laura Quinn was the deputy director of the city public security bureau. From a lowly detective to her current position, she had handled countless major and minor cases. Upon waking up, even though she found herself in an unfamiliar place and saw a strange young man standing not far from the door, she showed no sign of panic, instead quickly analyzing the situation in her mind.

However, when Laura Quinn's gaze followed Jack Carter's and landed on her own exposed, proud chest, even as the deputy director, she instinctively panicked and hurriedly pulled the sheet up from her abdomen to cover her snowy, proud peaks.

But in doing so, Laura Quinn forgot that she was completely naked. As she pulled up the sheet, her two long, snow-white legs and her most alluring area were instantly and completely exposed to the air.

Jack Carter felt his breath catch. What he saw between those long, white legs was not the rumored lushness but a smooth, fair expanse. Although he knew he should immediately look away, his eyes simply wouldn't obey, stubbornly fixed on that fair skin.

As soon as Laura Quinn pulled up the sheet and felt a chill below, she realized something was wrong and hurriedly flung the sheet back down, finally covering herself tightly from head to toe.

Although Jack Carter was a young man full of vigor, he was no ordinary person. Once Laura Quinn's graceful body was tightly covered by the sheet, the heat within him instantly cooled, and his mind cleared in a flash.

"I really didn't take off your clothes." As soon as Jack Carter regained his senses, he hurriedly explained with an embarrassed expression.

"If it wasn't you, then was it..." Laura Quinn hadn't finished saying the word "me" when she suddenly remembered her habit of sleeping naked and was left dumbfounded.

Chapter 9: It Really Wasn't Me

"It really wasn't me, I just saw you..." Of course, Jack Carter didn't know about Laura Quinn's habit of sleeping naked. Seeing that she didn't believe him, he became so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead.

Well, of course—a young woman wakes up the next day to find herself in a stranger's room, completely naked. If you say it wasn't the man who did it, who else could it be? The fact that she didn't immediately accuse him of harassment or rape was already very polite!

"Alright, you don't need to explain. Please step out for a moment and let me get dressed, okay?" Clutching the sheet, Laura Quinn interrupted, on the verge of tears.

The deputy director of the city public security bureau—a leader of a powerful department. Usually so imposing, especially among the riffraff of Jiangzhou City; who wouldn't tremble at the mention of her name, Laura Quinn? But now? She had stripped herself bare and let a young man, who looked barely in his early twenties, see everything. Now she could only wrap herself in a sheet, not daring to move.

"Sorry, sorry, I'll step out right away. Also, I really didn't take off your clothes." Only then did Jack Carter remember that Laura Quinn was still undressed. He quickly turned and walked back into the room, not forgetting to defend himself once more as he left.

But as he said this, Jack Carter also felt quite wronged. Is it easy to do a good deed? Of course, thinking of the stunning scene he had just witnessed, Jack Carter felt that even if the woman outside called him a pervert or something, it was probably deserved.
