I, a prison guard in the Heavenly Prison, secretly became invincible thanks to the system.

Imperial City Death Prison.

Ye Kang took off his official robes, put on a black shirt, and, carrying several jars of old wine, swaggered into the prison cell.

In one of the cells, a burly monk with a broad back was idly playing with straw when suddenly a whiff of wine wafted over.

He twitched his nose and quickly pressed himself against the cell door.

Ye Kang smiled and placed two of the jars of wine at the prison entrance.

"Thank you for your Peach Blossom Wine. It's all good wine. Drink it sparingly, lest you finish it all and end up wailing in jail."

Upon hearing this, the senior monk burst into tears.

"My dear sir, I've been waiting so long! You've finally remembered this!"

Ye Kang touched his nose, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

I've been away on missions all this time and I'd really forgotten about it.

I only remembered this right before I arrived; I still owe this big monk two jars of wine.

In any case, when I first came to this world, it was thanks to the great monk's fierce anger that I was able to gain a foothold.

At that moment, a sharp, flattering voice rang out from another cell behind them.

"My lord! What about me? I've given you two martial arts techniques, may I have a drink too?"

Ye Kang turned around and saw that the Taoist priest, who was known as the Flying Centipede, had a sallow face and was staring at Peach Blossom Wine, drooling incessantly.

Ye Kang thought for a moment and then gave him a can as well.

The flying centipede quickly expressed its gratitude, its words filled with respect.

For a death row inmate sentenced to death in the autumn, a jar of wine would be an immense favor, enough to move him to tears of gratitude.

Ye Kang didn't say anything more, and turned to walk towards the next cell.

Of the four levels of the Death Prison, only the Xuanhuang level was under the jurisdiction of the Imperial City Guard.

As for the third and fourth floors, no one has ever been inside, and even the Imperial City Guard doesn't know whether anyone is imprisoned inside.

Ye Kang simply walked to Dai Huanhuan's cell, placed the last jar of peach blossom wine on the ground, and then took out two bowls and filled them.

Dai Huanhuan simply sat on the stone bed, silently watching him.

"What brings you here again? Are you trying to bribe me with wine?"

"You've misunderstood. I'm just grateful for your kindness, and it's only right and proper that I treat you to a drink to express my gratitude."

Ye Kang said with a smile, but his words sounded completely incomprehensible to Dai Huanhuan.

"What favor?"

"Naturally, it's news about your cheap senior brother."

Dai Huanhuan's eyes widened instantly: "Wait! You didn't actually find him, did you?!"

Ye Kang smiled faintly and said, "He broke into homes and slept with countless innocent girls in Jiayang City. He even set his sights on the city lord's wives and concubines. It took me a lot of effort to kill him. Fortunately, the footwork manual on his body was still there, so how can it not be considered a favor?"

"What! You really killed him! Then tell me, what's the name of his lightness skill?"

"Shadow Step".

"Hahahaha! Thank God! That bastard is finally dead!"

Dai Huanhuan suddenly burst into laughter, her mood instantly improving. She then leaped down, picked up the wine bowl, and drank it down.

"That was great! You may be a lackey of the court, but you did a good job. I knew he was raping women and I'd wanted to kill this lecherous scoundrel for a long time, but unfortunately, my skills weren't good enough to beat him."

Dai Huanhuan seemed genuinely happy, which must mean she had some kind of grudge against Fan Shanyue.

Ye Kang wasn't interested in this. He drank a bowl of wine, then took out the Shadow Step manual and said, "How about we make a trade? I'll exchange this manual for your lightness skill."

This was Ye Kang's true purpose.

The Shadow Step is the ultimate footwork technique in combat, but when it comes to true lightness skill, it has to be the one that Dai Huanhuan demonstrated that day.

If we could combine the two, the world would be vast, and we would truly be able to go anywhere.

Dai Huanhuan's expression changed, and she immediately said coldly, "Dream on! Although my master and uncle are mortal enemies, I would never trade with you just to collect two lightness skills. How is that any different from betraying my sect? Am I such a despicable person?"

"Indeed, then I will not disturb you any longer. I will come to see you again once you have made up your mind."

Ye Kang didn't say much and was about to leave.

Dai Huanhuan frowned and said, "How long are you going to keep me locked up? This cell is so boring, there's no one to talk to."

"The girl is already being treated the best in all the prisons. Given the mistakes you've made, even ten years in prison wouldn't be a problem."

"Ten years! I'd be bored to death by now. You need to find a way to let me out."

"Why?"

"Only if I can find my master, and only if he agrees, can you learn the most advanced lightness skill."

Upon hearing this, Ye Kang's smile widened.

This guy doesn't seem too stupid; he knows how to use what he wants to gain freedom.

Ye Kang didn't reply, and turned to leave.

Dai Huanhuan watched his retreating figure, her heart filled with unease.

I can only hope that this guy really wants to learn lightness skills, otherwise I'll definitely suffocate if I stay any longer.

……

After entrusting the matter of the death row to Jin Baobei, Ye Kang went straight back to his home in Fushengmen.

For the deputy commander of the Imperial City Guard, having just finished handling a major case, he would definitely need a period of rest.

Upon returning home, Ye Kang noticed changes in the residence.

The furniture was completely renovated, the green plants were lush and green, even the roof tiles were replaced with a more expensive type, and a cook and two maids were added to the house.

This was unimaginable before.

Ye Kang only learned the reason when his father, Ye Long, returned.

As his status rose, more and more people came to curry favor with him, especially his brothers who had received silver notes from him.

Although they were of low strength, they were well-versed in the ways of doing things and would come to visit every few days.

Of course, they never deliberately gave gifts; instead, they would always go to the Ye family's wine shop and buy a pot of Peach Blossom Wine, priced at two hundred taels of silver.

This trend was started by Zhu Cong. Officials and servants of the Imperial City Guard regarded Ye Family Peach Blossom Wine as an essential item, and even those who did not like wine would buy a cup.

One cup costs ten taels of silver.

At this point, Ye Long's face lit up with joy.

"Kang'er, thanks to you, the constables from the Imperial City Guard come every day now. Other wine shops may be unhappy, but no one dares to cause trouble. They even have to come to us for our wine!"

"Nowadays, Ye's Peach Blossom Wine, thanks to its high price, has actually entered the ranks of high-end wines. Many high-ranking officials and nobles come to buy the wine, and the business is getting better and better."

Ye Long sighed with emotion, saying that he had given birth to an exceptionally good son.

Mother also came in carrying a plate of dishes, and said with a helpless smile, "Kang'er, don't listen to your father's nonsense. He's gotten arrogant after making money. He insists that I buy two maids. I don't even know how to manage one maid, let alone two. I can only have them help your older brother sell wine when they have nothing to do."

Although there was a cook at home, she still personally prepared the dishes for this meal, cooking Ye Kang's favorite dishes and serving homemade rice wine.

As Ye Kang ate the food, he felt a warm sensation, filled with his parents' care for him.

Having grown accustomed to fighting and killing, Ye Kang prefers this leisurely home life.

This highlights the importance of staffing.

Without a good government job, how could life be so stable?

After finishing the meal, Ye Kang insisted on washing the dishes, which startled the two maids.

"Second...Second Young Master...Let us handle this...How can we let you do it..."
