Hanbing Yun was truly a master. She had unlocked 17 meridians, was an S-level Genetically Enhanced Human, and even a Multi-System Superpower User.

She dug a pit with incredible speed, taking only about five minutes to create a hole two meters deep.

Then she began to make a coffin.

Using a dagger to cut down a large tree, it took her just over ten minutes to craft a beautiful coffin. It was no surprise, coming from a scientist with such skillful hands.

"Zhang Bin, farewell. I hope you live well in Hell. Go pick up some beauties. I wish you the best."

After saying this somberly, Hanbing Yun was about to place Zhang Bin's corpse into the coffin, but to her astonishment, his eyes suddenly snapped open. The deathly pallor on his face dissipated in the blink of an eye, and he leaped to his feet. With an evil smile, he said, "Alright, you can lie down inside now. I'll finish the last bit of work."

"How are you not dead?"

Hanbing Yun's expression changed drastically. She stumbled backward a dozen steps, nearly fainting.

All that work, digging a grave and making a coffin, only to find out it was for me? This bastard is just too much! Does he have to humiliate people like this?

"The Cultivation Technique I practice is a bit special; it isn't afraid of deadly poison. So, I'm sorry," Zhang Bin said apologetically.

This was the truth. He cultivated the miraculous Qingmu Longevity Technique, which granted him immense vitality. The Longevity Qi could even bring the dead back to life, so it was naturally capable of countering deadly poison.

However, he had decided to turn the tables on her, feigning that he was poisoned and on the verge of death to hear her true feelings.

He learned that the masked woman in black truly hadn't been sent by her.

In the future, he still had to find that masked woman and send her to Hell.

As for continuing to play dead, he was having an internal struggle over whether or not he should kill Hanbing Yun.

But in the end, he decided it was better to kill her. He couldn't gamble with the extinction of the human race.

This was no laughing matter.

Hanbing Yun had set him up multiple times and had just tried to kill him. He had every reason to take revenge.

He would feel no guilt.

"Zhang Bin, can you not kill me? I'm willing to be your woman," Hanbing Yun pleaded, tears streaming down her face.

"I'm sorry," Zhang Bin said apologetically. "I can't gamble with the survival of six billion humans."

"Zhang Bin, you clearly could have chosen not to kill me. You're so ruthless. I hate you!" Hanbing Yun said angrily, and with a savage movement, she plunged the dagger into her own heart.

Blood spurted out, staining her white clothes red.

Zhang Bin rushed over, embracing the swaying Hanbing Yun, and said softly, "Hanbing Yun, you're too clever. If you became a demon, I'm not confident I could see through your schemes, nor am I confident I could control you. Besides, you set me up and tried to kill me so many times. I can only refuse your request. Please forgive me."

As he spoke, his own tears began to fall, pattering onto Hanbing Yun's face.

"Fool, stop crying. If I were you, I would do the same. So, I understand. I took my own life so you wouldn't have my blood on your hands. That is my way of forgiving you," Hanbing Yun said, her face full of agony. She extended her bloodied right hand to gently wipe away the tears on Zhang Bin's face, her touch so tender, her reluctance so clear. "I really don't want to die. I haven't even become a real woman yet. How I wish I could..."

Her words cut off abruptly.

Her hand dropped with a thud.

"Hanbing Yun, I'm sorry..."

Zhang Bin clutched her body tightly, choking back sobs, his heart filled with an extreme sorrow.

It was all a mistake of fate; neither he nor Hanbing Yun had been wrong.

But they could only part through death, with no other choice.

Only one of them could continue to live in this world.

After sobbing for some time, Zhang Bin calmed down. He did a thorough check and found that Hanbing Yun had indeed breathed her last; her body was gradually growing cold and stiff.

All her blood had already drained out, leaving her complexion as white as paper.

Zhang Bin placed her body into the coffin and also placed the painting in her arms, muttering, "Hanbing Yun, if there really is a Hell, then cultivate the Pure Heart Mystique diligently there. Try your best not to become a demon."

Then he buried the coffin.

Soon, a small burial mound rose high from the ground.

Worried that someone might discover the new grave and dig it up out of curiosity, Zhang Bin used his wondrous abilities to cover the mound with green grass.

He poured some Spiritual Water on it, and the grass immediately took root, growing lush and vibrant.

Zhang Bin also buried all the blood-soaked soil in the grave.

At a glance, it looked like an old grave that had been there for years.

It wouldn't arouse anyone's suspicion.

"Hanbing Yun, rest in peace. I did the right thing," Zhang Bin murmured. "In your next life, I hope you are as beautiful as you were in this one, but not so clever. You'll be happier that way. Goodbye. I'll come and burn paper offerings for you in the future."

With that, he took one last, deep look at the grave, then soared into the sky and vanished in a flash.

「」

Before long, Zhang Bin appeared on the bustling streets of Yanjing City, strolling with great interest.

His Dao-heart was as steadfast as iron. Having just buried Hanbing Yun, he had already set aside all his negative emotions and returned to his old self.

He was still the same happy, slightly mischievous, and somewhat lecherous little farmer.

Moreover, because he had killed Jack and Sandra, the two Genetically Enhanced Human escapees, he had averted a terrifying crisis for humanity.

Adding to that the neutralization of the ticking time bomb that was Hanbing Yun, the threat of human extinction was now essentially gone. Because of this, he felt an invisible wave of relief wash over him.

Since he was now in Yanjing, a sacred site in the hearts of the Chinese people, a place he had always dreamed of visiting but never had the money to, he certainly wasn't going to leave so soon. He was determined to have a good look around and, at the very least, check out the beautiful women.

As the capital of China, Yanjing was a magnet for beautiful women from all over the country. It was absolutely teeming with them.

"Tsk, tsk... This beauty's figure is just too good."

"My God, that one's breasts are huge! She must have used the breast-enlarging pumpkins I grew."

"Awesome! I've only been standing at this intersection for a little while, and I've already seen five beauties."

"Haha! Here comes another one. She's definitely a model. The way she walks is so gorgeous, so enticing."

"Hey... beautiful! Let's go get a late-night snack... Don't go! I'm not a bad guy!"

"..."

Zhang Bin stamped his feet in frustration on the street because not a single beauty gave him a second glance.

When they saw him trying to hit on them, they all ran away faster than rabbits.

It was as if he was some great villain.

Damn it, I refuse to believe these beauties can't recognize a catch when they see one. I'm going to see this through with the beauties of Yanjing today!

Just then, his phone rang. It was Chen Chaoyue. "Senior brother, where are you? Why aren't you home?"

"I'm in Yanjing checking out the beauties. Damn it, they have no taste! They're ignoring me!" Zhang Bin said, exasperated.

"Holy crap, Senior Brother, you came to my turf? I'm heading back right now! I'll show you all the beauties of Yanjing..."

"I see Hong Ya is back! We'll take her and come get you..."

Chen Chaoyue and Ma Rufei shouted excitedly one after the other.

Before Zhang Bin could even get another word in, they hung up.
