At 5:30 in the afternoon, Shen Qiang and Xiu Ju arrived promptly at the residence of the Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing.
She wore a pair of light blue slim-fit jeans, tall and graceful, with red lips and white teeth, and her bright eyes sparkled with an inexplicable beauty when she smiled, inciting considerable envy in Xiu Ju at her side.
"Where are the Sect Leader and the others?" Shen Qiang asked curiously.
Leading the two into the house, Chu Qing answered with a smile, "They originally agreed to have dinner together, but they just called and said they had something to do today and couldn't make it, so we don't need to wait for them."
Shen Qiang laughed, "So that's how it is."
Handing an apron to Shen Qiang, Miss Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing said with a smile, "Delicious food always tastes best fresh out of the oven, so I haven't started cooking yet. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble our great chef here to lend me a hand."
Shen Qiang laughed.
But as he reached out to take the apron, his hand came up empty.
He was then astonished to see Xiu Ju holding the apron, standing in front of him, and smiling at the Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing, "Let me do it. I'm quite good at being an assistant."
The Beautiful Demon Fox was taken aback, and then she responded with a smile, "Alright."
Shen Qiang looked at Xiu Ju, slightly shorter than the Beautiful Demon Fox but with an equally striking figure, cheerfully tying the apron around her waist. Instinctively uneasy, he frowned and thought to himself.
"Are they competing now?"
In the villa's kitchen, Chu Qing and Xiu Ju were chatting and laughing together while preparing dinner, just as Shen Qiang lounged on the sofa, boredly watching TV.
Tuberculosis Research Center, a hospital ward.
The atmosphere suddenly grew heavy.
Two cultivators guarding Bianyi passed out.
A man with a scorpion tattoo on his left palm pushed open the door and walked into the ward.
He stood calmly beside Bianyi's bed.
Lying in bed, Bianyi chuckled and picked up his phone, "You're 32 seconds late, which is quite unexpected."
The man with the scorpion tattoo on his left palm said gravely, "The Wang Family and the Chen Family have set their sights on this place, so I took a moment to handle them."
"Good," Bianyi said naturally as he logged into a forum from his bed.
Observing his calm demeanor, the man with the left palm scorpion tattoo said, "You've lost, and your small accounts have all been cleared out. You're penniless now."
"I still have my safe," Bianyi said with a smile.
The man with the scorpion tattoo on his left palm said, "It's time for you to leave. I've prepared all the documents for you. There's a plane in an hour to the United States, where the best treatment awaits you. A number of tuberculosis specialists are already there waiting for you."
Bianyi laughed, "Once again you're being overly smart, my dear brother, as foolish as when you sneaked a peek at our master's wife bathing."
"You've already lost." the man with a scorpion tattooed on the heel of his left hand said, "We don't need to waste time here."
Bianyi laughed, "My foolish little brother, you think I've lost, too?"
The man with the scorpion tattoo on his left hand said somewhat displeased, "What are you uploading on your phone? You need to understand, without your life-saving ledger, without money, and suffering from a serious illness, you're utterly defeated! So leaving here and accepting the best treatment, preparing for your comeback, is the wisest choice for you right now."
Bianyi chuckled abruptly, "Stupid."
"Stop deceiving yourself, okay?" said the man with the scorpion tattoo on his left hand. "You've lost, are you uploading the failed mission screenshots of those five rape-and-murder tasks? What's the point?"
"The point is, cultivators who see these failed mission screenshots will be very curious; they'll investigate," Bianyi smiled. "And then they'll find out that these five women are ordinary people, yet the cultivators can't kill them, and all of them are related to Shen Qiang."
"And then?" the man with the scorpion tattoo on his left hand said. "They'll believe Shen Qiang is Masked Man? And then swarm to kill him?"
"Of course not." Bianyi raised an eyebrow, his smile smug, "But I have an even more powerful move."
"Don't waste my time," the man with the scorpion tattoo on his left hand said. "You've lost, stop being conceited about your wisdom. Now it's not just Shen Qiang who's played you, but that surnamed Zhang's played you, too."
Hearing this, Bianyi chuckled, "My foolish little brother, I never thought you could still be so naive. Shen Qiang got a bit of unexpected help from Dragon Group, but that surnamed Zhang dreaming of playing me is a joke."
"Because he's a greedy and ruthless fellow, I knew well he would never help me. So I told him there were a lot of valuable treasures in Shen Qiang's Storage Ring, even concocted a tale of a legendary Flying Sword and told him I needed to use Shen Qiang's Storage Ring to make a getaway. He hates me so much, he would definitely want to swallow Shen Qiang's Storage Ring and then watch me be killed by someone else."
The man with the scorpion tattoo on his left hand clenched his fist tightly, surprised, "You knew they would do this all along?"
"Of course." Bianyi stood up, pocketed his phone, and took the suit hanging nearby from the man's hand, putting it on while laughing, "Not only that, I also guessed that while planning to devour Shen Qiang and pin the blame on me, he'd also target the Beautiful Demon Fox."
"And he's just a second-generation cultivator with weak cultivation power, so he can only gather the strong members of his family. Where are we? Shanghai, where the three major Families are in a covert struggle. His summoning of the strong will inevitably draw the attention of the Wang Family and Chen Family."
"When you came, you said that the people from Wang Family and Chen Family are watching this place, which proves everything is under my control." After saying that, Bianyi smiled at the man, "Of course, Dragon Group will also notice this incident, but at this time, most of their attention should be on Shen Qiang and the Beautiful Demon Fox, so you coming to pick me up at this moment couldn't be more perfect."
The man with the scorpion tattoo on his left hand was stunned, "What are you going to do next?"
Bianyi laughed, "My foolish little brother, now's the time to buy beer, fried chicken, and popcorn, and then watch Shen Qiang die. Don't tell me you think that surnamed Zhang fools summoning strong cultivators to declare love for Shen Qiang? You must understand, his calling the strong ones has only one purpose, and that is to kill and seize treasures!"
After a moment of silence, the man with the scorpion tattoo on his left hand said, "The woman with Shen Qiang, code-named Xiu Ju, is a terrifying person, even if everything goes as you expect, you shouldn't get close to them!"
Bianyi laughed, "Worried about your big brother? Come, help me lift their heads."
The True Qi surged in the man with the scorpion tattoo on his left hand, and the two unconscious cultivators' heads were raised without any awareness.
"We agreed, if you lost you would stop. You've lost your ledger and your money, you've lost."
Pfft!
Gurgle!
Bianyi, having beheaded the two cultivators, smiled as he put away his Flying Sword, eyed the blood-spurting corpses, and the rolling heads on the ground, and with raised eyebrows, he said, "Perfect! These two guys also thought I could never turn things around, but now they're dead."
