Chilling!

For the first time, Long Tianci truly experienced what it meant to be chilled to the bone.

This was the true face of Bai Wuchang.

It was far more than just killing someone.

It was worse than death.

Countless poisonous scorpions emerged from Bai Qinghe's body, each one black, wrapping around Long Zixiang in the blink of an eye like locusts.

Long Zixiang struggled, wanting to scream, but the scorpions blocked his throat, not allowing a sound to escape.

Before long, he fell from his wheelchair, rolling on the ground, the sight of his agony enough to make one's hair stand on end.

This scene lasted for more than ten minutes, but for Long Zixiang, it felt longer than a century.

Long Tianci felt that Long Zixiang was certainly doomed.

But after the scorpions retreated, Long Zixiang still had his eyes open, though his pupils were dilated, making him look more like a living corpse than a human.

Bai Qinghe's previously discolored skin had regained some of its normal hue, but it was still bloodless.

"Damn it, I didn't expect that using Black Impermanence wouldn't completely remove the poison," Bai Qinghe's last trace of hope vanished from her face, and a storm of panic surged in her heart.

This kind of method was unheard of.

The poison casually created by Ye Guichen couldn't be fully neutralized even by using Black Impermanence.

Where else could she turn?

Bai Qinghe did not want to die, so she had to go find Ye Guichen again.

She knew that if she did not agree to Ye Guichen's proposal, she would end up burnt to a crisp and die in agony before the night was over.

People only thought Black Impermanence was a person, but no one knew that Black Impermanence was actually a man who absorbed the poison transferred by Bai Qinghe.

Previously, Bai Qinghe practiced Voodoo Technique and often poisoned herself to the brink of death. Whenever this happened, she would find a man to transfer the poison to.

Over time, Bai Qinghe became adept at this method and discovered that castrated men absorbed the poison more effectively.

Because of this, men who had the poison transferred to them often felt it was a fate worse than death. Due to the permeation of the poison, their skin's pigment would completely settle, turning it entirely black.

Long Zixiang now looked just like this.

Besides his skin turning pitch black, it had also shriveled, resembling a gaunt mummy.

Judging by his appearance, it wouldn't be long before he died.

"Sec-Secretary Bai, you..." Long Tianci's voice trembled with fear, afraid Bai Qinghe would use the same method on him.

Bai Qinghe slowly raised her head and glanced at Long Tianci: "If you don't want to become my Black Impermanence, you know better than to share this secret."

With that, she turned and walked to the window but then suddenly stopped: "He won't survive more than seven days. Please handle this here, I have other matters to attend to."

Then, she leaped out of the window.

Long Tianci turned around only after confirming Bai Qinghe had left. He touched his back and found it was already soaked with sweat.

"Bro, k-kill me," a weak voice came from Long Zixiang's mouth.

Long Tianci couldn't see Long Zixiang's expression, but he knew that Long Zixiang was probably in a pain worse than hell.

"Go in peace, little brother." Long Tianci closed his eyes, not daring to look at Long Zixiang's appearance, as it would remind him of the horrific scene he had just witnessed.

He picked up a fruit knife and plunged it into Long Zixiang's heart.

...

Chen Group.

CEO's Office.

Chen Ziran crossed her arms, looking adorably pouty.

Ye Guichen scratched his head and grinned sheepishly, "Honey, why don't you believe me? I really was recruiting a bodyguard for you, haha."

"Hmph, you think I'm blind?" Chen Ziran snorted coldly, "Where is she? Now you can say whatever you want, recruiting someone while straddling a woman who isn't wearing a shirt? Haha, your recruitment method is truly bizarre. In all my years, I've never seen anything like it."

Chen Ziran's tone was sarcastic and mocking.

"Er, she should be here soon," Ye Guichen said, then his ears twitched, and he giggled, "Honey, she's here. Let her explain it to you herself."

Chen Ziran was puzzled by Ye Guichen's words but then heard Secretary Annie's voice: "Who are you? Do you have an appointment?"

"Bang!"

However, before anyone could respond, the office door was forcefully kicked open.

The sturdy door fell straight to the ground, and the doorframe shook twice.

Violent!

It was simply too violent!

At the doorway stood a petite girl.

Annie was so shocked she covered her mouth, unable to believe such a small body could contain such immense power.

"Mr. Chen, I, I..." Annie was panicked and at a loss for what to do.

Ye Guichen looked at Bai Qinghe at the doorway and smiled, "Bai Qinghe, come quickly and explain to my wife that we really were having an interview."

In that moment, he transformed from the fierce figure he had been earlier to a husband worried about his jealous wife.

Seeing Ye Guichen's harmless demeanor, Bai Qinghe felt her legs go weak.

She had an urge to kneel before Ye Guichen and beg him to detoxify her, but she knew if she didn't play along with this devil right now, she'd be in even deeper trouble.

"Mr. Chen, let me protect you from now on!" Bai Qinghe strode forward and cupped her fists towards Chen Ziran.

Chen Ziran's lip twitched. She looked at the office door that had been kicked down, then at Bai Qinghe, unable to reconcile how this petite girl could be so violent.

"Ahem, well..."

"Honey, at that time, I was just testing Bai Qinghe's martial abilities. It's perfectly normal to end up taking off some clothes in the heat of the moment," Ye Guichen quickly explained, giving Bai Qinghe a wink: "Right?"

Bai Qinghe hurriedly nodded, "Mr. Chen, rest assured, I have no interest in men, I just want to be your bodyguard."

Chen Ziran was utterly perplexed.

That statement sounded so odd.

But seeing Bai Qinghe's determined expression, and having Annie investigate the incident in the Security Department earlier, she was mostly convinced that Ye Guichen was genuinely concerned about her safety in hiring a bodyguard.

She had been angry, but now seeing Ye Guichen being so anxious to explain, she felt a strange sweetness inside.

"Alright then, let's drop the bodyguard talk. It sounds horrible. Since he hired you, we're sisters from now on. Your name is Bai Qinghe, right?" Chen Ziran asked with a smile, giving Ye Guichen a sidelong glance.

Bai Qinghe quickly nodded.

"Good, judging by your looks, you're younger than me, right? How about we call me Sister Chen from now on?"

Bai Qinghe opened her mouth: "Mr. Chen, actually, I'm thirty-seven today."
