Lin Xiao walked in, his face ashen. But his eyes were as calm as an unfathomably deep abyss, ready to swallow the two pieces of trash before him at any moment.

"Filthy beggar, if you don't want to die, get the hell out!" Zhou Boran roared.

Yes, he wanted to kill someone. He had the prize right in his grasp, only for some filthy beggar to ruin it all. It was no wonder he was furious.

Lin Xiao paid him no mind. With a wave of his hand, a cold glint disappeared into Su Qingning's body. It was the Xuantian Needle, a gift from his third master, fashioned from Celestial Black Iron. Su Qingning instantly lost consciousness.

Lin Xiao had done it on purpose. After all, he was about to commence a massacre, and it would be complicated if Su Qingning were to be frightened by the sight.

Once that was done, Lin Xiao turned to face Qi Cun and Zhou Boran. His gaze shifted, becoming as sharp as a newly drawn sword, potent enough to strike fear into their hearts.

Qi Cun shuddered. He, after all, had witnessed Lin Xiao's skills firsthand. But then he had a second thought.

My senior brother is an Earth Level Martial Artist. What good are a few skills? In front of my senior brother, this beggar is nothing but trash!

At that thought, the fear in Qi Cun's heart vanished without a trace, and he even let out a disdainful sneer.

Zhou Boran, on the other hand, bellowed with rage, "You filthy beggar, if you know what's good for you, stand in the corner and get a nice, long look while I screw your wife! Otherwise, I'll kill you right now!"

"Exactly! Get the hell to the side!" Qi Cun added with a sinister laugh. "After we've had our fun, if we're in a good mood, we might even let a filthy beggar like you have a turn."

Lin Xiao nodded. "Good. Very good." His voice was utterly devoid of warmth, as cold as eternal ice.

"What are your last words?" Lin Xiao asked, his voice chilling.

BOOM!

Zhou Boran felt like he was about to explode with rage. How dare a filthy beggar speak such arrogant nonsense.

"You filthy beggar, are you trying to die? Kneel and beg for mercy, or I'll kill you right now!" he roared.

"Is that your final statement? Very well," Lin Xiao said indifferently.

"Damn it, this beggar is arrogant as hell! Senior Brother, let's just kill this piece of trash!" Qi Cun declared wildly. "We're from the Asura Hall! Even if we kill him, he can only blame his own bad luck!"

The words had barely left his lips when Lin Xiao moved.

SLAP!

With a crisp crack, Lin Xiao's palm slammed into Zhou Boran's head.

SPLAT!

Zhou Boran's head didn't just break; it exploded. Yes, exploded. It was as if a ton of TNT had been detonated inside his skull, leaving nothing behind.

Terrified, Qi Cun collapsed to the ground. His face was ghastly pale, and his entire body trembled uncontrollably. A fear unlike any he had ever known consumed him completely.

Qi Cun finally realized what an incredibly stupid thing he had done.

He was drowning in regret. If only time could be turned back, he never would have become a bodyguard for Liu San. If he hadn't taken that job, how could any of this have happened? But unfortunately, there's no medicine for regret in this world.

Qi Cun began to beg for his life, frantically slamming his head against the hard marble floor. A shocking amount of blood immediately began to pool beneath him, but he showed no sign of stopping.

"Did you deliver the message to Liu San?" Lin Xiao asked coldly.

"I... I did! It was delivered!"

"And what was his reaction?"

"M-Master San... he... he said..." Qi Cun stammered, unable to finish. He didn't dare say the rest.

A small smile played on Lin Xiao's lips. "What did he say? Go on."

"He... he said... you were courting death!" Qi Cun finally managed, speaking cautiously.

Lin Xiao laughed. "Good. You can die now."

"Lin Xiao, I... I was wrong! I'm begging you, please spare me! I'm just an idiot, I'll never dare to court death again!" Qi Cun cried.

A foul stench suddenly filled the air. The scum had pissed his pants out of sheer terror.

"So, you really know you were wrong?" Lin Xiao asked.

"I know! I really know I was wrong! I'll never do it again! Just let me go, and I'll get out of here right now! I'll never appear before you again!"

"Good. As long as you understand," Lin Xiao said. "Try to be smarter in your next life."

With that, he smashed Qi Cun's head with a single slap.

After finishing off the two pieces of trash, Lin Xiao called Pei Donglai.

Pei Donglai answered instantly. "Captain, your orders?"

"Come to the Supreme Private Room," Lin Xiao stated flatly.

"Understood."

They both hung up. Less than a minute later, Pei Donglai appeared in the room. The scene that greeted him was a shock.

It wasn't that the two lowlifes were dead; what shocked him was that Lin Xiao had been capable of killing Zhou Boran.

Just how powerful must his cultivation be?

Pei Donglai had always assumed Lin Xiao had little to no cultivation, which was why he had stepped forward when Qi Cun and Zhou Boran came looking for trouble. He had never imagined Lin Xiao's power was so extraordinary. Though he had long known Lin Xiao was no ordinary man, seeing this scene made Pei Donglai realize he had still gravely underestimated him. It also drove home a crucial point: from this day forward, he would follow Lin Xiao's orders without question.

After the initial shock, Pei Donglai's expression returned to one of calm composure. As the War God of the Western Region, a scene like this was a trifle to him. Lin Xiao was quite satisfied with his reaction.

"Clean this up. Make it spotless. Don't let anyone know what happened," Lin Xiao ordered. "After all, the bar still has a business to run."

Pei Donglai nodded.

Lin Xiao carried Su Qingning into her office. With a light pat on her back, the Xuantian Needle flew out from her body, entered his own, and vanished.

Su Qingning's eyes opened instantly. The next second, she threw her arms around Lin Xiao, clinging to him tightly. Her slender, jade-like hands roamed over his body, eventually finding their way unerringly to his member. Not only that, but her scorching lips began to kiss him wildly and without restraint.

Lin Xiao was intensely aroused.

To be honest, this was a golden opportunity. If I give in to Su Qingning, I can easily recover my cultivation. Besides, she's been drugged with an aphrodisiac. Even when she comes to her senses, she won't blame me. After all, I'm not the one who drugged her. But I just can't do it. As much as I want to get my cultivation back, I can't bring myself to take advantage of someone in this state. If I really became intimate with Su Qingning under these circumstances, I'd despise myself for the rest of my life.

Seeing that the aphrodisiac in her system had fully taken hold, Lin Xiao knew he couldn't delay. He gathered his Profound Energy at his fingertips and lightly tapped the point between her eyebrows.

Su Qingning shivered, and the lust in her eyes instantly vanished. She fainted once again.

Lin Xiao was about to wake her when he suddenly remembered she was afflicted with Gu poison.

Now that she's unconscious, this is the perfect opportunity to cure her. I'm fast enough; I can definitely remove the Gu poison before she wakes up.

Having made up his mind, Lin Xiao quickly started to unbutton Su Qingning's blouse. He had just undone the first button when a sliver of her snowy-white skin was revealed, along with the mysterious ravine of her cleavage. The sight instantly made Lin Xiao's mouth go dry and his heart pound in his chest.

But Lin Xiao didn't stop. He knew Su Qingning could wake at any moment, so he had to hurry. Taking a deep breath, he continued to undo her buttons.

He had just finished with the buttons and was about to slip the shirt from her shoulders when, at that very moment, Su Qingning's eyes flew open.

"You bastard!" she yelled, her voice filled with rage. "What are you doing?"
