Lin Xiao's heart skipped a beat. It's over. I couldn't wash myself clean even if I jumped into the Yellow River.

He flashed a sheepish smile and said, "Wife, if I said I wanted to cure your gu poison, would you believe me?"

Su Qingning glared at Lin Xiao, her face a mask of pure fury.

"Bastard, do you really think I'd believe your bullshit?"

"Wife, I really was going to cure you of the gu poison."

"Shut up! Get out! I never want to see you again!" Su Qingning roared.

Indeed, Su Qingning was about to explode with rage. I never dreamed that my own husband would try to strip my clothes off while I was unconscious! Thank goodness I woke up in time. Otherwise, that bastard would have violated me.

Su Qingning had always felt that although Lin Xiao came from a poor background and often said shameless things, he had never acted on them. All in all, his character was passable. But she had never expected to be so blind. This man doesn't just have a questionable character; he's a complete bastard!

She could tolerate him being a beggar and could even put up with his occasional shameless remarks, but she could not accept him trying to take advantage of her.

Lin Xiao felt wronged, but mostly helpless. He knew that nothing he said would matter now. In Su Qingning's eyes, he had become an utterly irredeemable scoundrel.

After leaving the bar, Lin Xiao was in a foul mood.

He immediately called Xiao Shixiong.

"Boss, what are your instructions?"

"Where is Liu San now?" Lin Xiao asked nonchalantly.

"Boss, are you going to deal with him?"

"That's right. That piece of trash dared to drug my wife."

The other end of the line went silent as Xiao Shixiong trembled in shock.

"Boss, how about you let me handle this?"

"I don't need your help. I'm going to kill him myself."

"But Boss, Liu San is just a low-level hoodlum. It's really not worth you getting your hands dirty!"

Lin Xiao let out a cold laugh. "What, are you planning to shield him?"

Xiao Shixiong's heart skipped a beat at those words, and his face turned deathly pale with fear. "Boss, that piece of trash is at the Emperor Bar!"

Lin Xiao hung up and saw Pei Donglai walking out of the bar.

Lin Xiao gestured with his hand, and Pei Donglai quickly approached.

"How did the cleanup go?"

"Captain, rest assured, it's all been taken care of. The entire private room is spotless now!"

Lin Xiao nodded. "Do you know of the Emperor Bar?"

"Yes, it's Liu San's turf. The best bar in Jinling City."

"Good. You can go back to work. I'm stepping out for a bit."

"Captain, do you need my help?" Pei Donglai asked in a low voice. The lad was a smart one and had already guessed what Lin Xiao was about to do.

"No need. The bar is hitting its peak hours now, so you stay and keep watch. If anyone causes trouble, deal with them directly. I'll take responsibility for anything that happens."

"Understood!"

Lin Xiao got up and left, hailing a taxi straight for the Emperor Bar.

He soon arrived at his destination. The Emperor Bar was even more imposing than Su Qingning's and truly lived up to its reputation as the top bar in Jinling City.

Lin Xiao had just stepped inside when a server snapped at him with a fierce look. "Get lost, you filthy beggar! This isn't a place for trash like you!"

"What was that? A little louder," Lin Xiao said with a smile.

"Damn it, are you fucking deaf?"

The moment the words left the man's mouth, Lin Xiao's hand shot out.

SMACK!

The server's head exploded.

The bustling bar descended into chaos as customers screamed and fled for their lives. In moments, the vast space was empty.

More than ten security guards surrounded Lin Xiao like a pack of hungry wolves.

Lin Xiao looked at the worthless guards with disdain. "Tell Liu San to get his ass out here," he said coolly. "Otherwise, I don't mind giving this shithole a bloodbath."

"Kid, do you have a death wish, coming to cause trouble at the Emperor Bar?" a burly fellow bellowed.

Before the man could finish speaking, Lin Xiao lunged forward and grabbed him by the throat. The guard was startled and tried to resist, but Lin Xiao gave him no such chance. With a swift twist, he snapped the man's neck.

The man collapsed to the ground, as limp as a noodle, his eyes bulging wide in a final, unseeing stare.

The vast bar fell so silent you could hear a pin drop. A spine-chilling aura spread throughout the room, enveloping everyone present. The previously menacing guards didn't dare make a move; they couldn't even summon the courage to look at Lin Xiao.

It couldn't be helped. In the face of absolute power, everything else was a facade.

Just then, the sound of footsteps echoed from the floor above. Soon after, Liu San descended the stairs, his face livid.

"You filthy beggar, you dare cause trouble in my bar? Are you looking to die?" Liu San roared.

Though his voice wasn't loud, it carried an intimidating presence befitting a man of his status—an aura far beyond that of an ordinary person.

Lin Xiao looked at him with cold eyes.

"Kneel."

Liu San began to sneer. This filthy beggar is certainly arrogant, daring to tell me to kneel in my own territory. But I'm not angry at all, because I know his end has come. To brazenly murder someone in Jinling City... this man truly has a death wish. Indeed, I've already called the police. I just got off the phone with Bai Xiangqian, the chief. Others might think I've lost face. After all, I'm one of the Jinling King's right-hand men, yet a filthy beggar forced me to call the police. But I don't see it that way. First, this beggar has some real strength—he took down my Profound Level bodyguard in a single blow. If I fought him head-on, I'd definitely be the one to lose. Of course, I could ask my boss, the Jinling King, for help. But if he found out, I'd be the one humiliated. Besides, I know the Jinling King is already unhappy with me. If I troubled him with this, he'd only become more displeased. It's much better to let Bai Xiangqian handle it. He's the chief of police in Jinling City; dealing with this beggar will be a piece of cake. Even if this beggar knows some cultivation, I'm sure he wouldn't dare take on the police. Besides, he openly committed murder. Morally and legally, this is a matter for Bai Xiangqian to handle.

Liu San sneered. "Idiot. You think you can strut around Jinling City just because you have a few clumsy tricks? Let me tell you, I've already called the police. Soon you'll find out what happens when you mess with me."

Lin Xiao was amused.
