Chapter 38: What Bad Intentions Could a Beauty Have?
“Ru Yi?”
Zhou Chen looked at the beauty:
“Your surname is Ren?”
“The hero jests, this servant’s surname is Liu, Liu Ru Yi.”
The beauty’s eyes sparkled with gratitude: “Thank you, hero, for saving me. However, this servant’s hands and feet are bound, and I cannot bow. Please forgive me, hero!”
“I only wanted to k*ll him, not save you!”
Zhou Chen’s voice was cold and indifferent. He casually lifted the quilt, intending to help the beauty loosen her restraints, but unexpectedly saw a startling scene.
It almost blinded him.
“Hero…”
Liu Ru Yi’s voice was shy, her face flushed red, softly reminding him.
Like red plums against a snowy background.
She was captured by S*i Bao Yu’s men, roughly washed twice by two older women, and then brought here, n*ked and bound to the bed.
Click, click, click, click!
Zhou Chen came back to his senses, his hands moved like lightning, instantly unlocking the four shackles that bound Liu Ru Yi’s hands and feet.
Freed from her restraints, Liu Ru Yi quickly sat up, knelt on the bed, and bowed:
“Thank you, hero!”
“I didn’t save you. When the city gates open tomorrow morning, you’d better leave the city immediately. You might be able to save your life!”
Zhou Chen turned and prepared to leave.
Although Liu Ru Yi was beautiful, Zhou Chen didn’t want to attract huge trouble, or even fatal danger, because of a woman he had just met.
He had killed S*i Bao Yu. Although he had destroyed the body and all traces, S*i Lei would definitely search frantically for S*i Bao Yu and the murderer tomorrow.
And Liu Ru Yi, who had been captured by S*i Bao Yu, was the prime suspect.
If Zhou Chen took Liu Ru Yi with him, wouldn’t that be clearly telling others that he had killed S*i Bao Yu?
“Hero!”
Liu Ru Yi quickly reached out and hugged Zhou Chen from behind.
Zhou Chen’s muscles tensed up. If he hadn’t sensed Liu Ru Yi’s lack of malice at the last moment, he would have slapped her head off.
“For the hero’s life-saving grace, this servant has nothing to repay you with but myself!”
Liu Ru Yi hugged Zhou Chen’s back tightly.
“I didn’t save you, and you don’t need to offer yourself to me!”
Zhou Chen grabbed Liu Ru Yi’s pair of soft and tender little hands, and his eyebrows suddenly raised:
“This woman knows martial arts!”
His Thunderclap Wish-Fulfilling Hand was an unparalleled supernatural ability. Although it seemed useless, it actually had endless applications.
He could tell the depth of someone’s abilities with a single touch.
Liu Ru Yi should have cultivated a martial art that concealed her cultivation level, and she had actually reached the fourth level of Body Refinement.
“With her cultivation, it’s impossible for her to be easily captured by S*i Bao Yu. Could she have wanted to assassinate S*i Bao Yu?”
Zhou Chen’s thoughts raced: “But what is she clinging to me for?”
“Don’t worry, hero, this servant doesn’t intend to cling to you.”
Liu Ru Yi leaned her head against Zhou Chen’s back, her red lips parted slightly, her voice soft and alluring:
“This servant knows that staying by the hero’s side will definitely bring trouble!”
“This servant just doesn’t want to owe anyone a favor!”
“After repaying the hero’s kindness, this servant will be even with you. You don’t need to worry about me. I will leave Qing He City early in the morning and will never bother you again!”
Zhou Chen held Liu Ru Yi’s fair and delicate hand, the corner of his mouth lifting slightly. It was indeed a tempting offer.
In the words of a domineering CEO from his previous life: Woman, you have successfully caught my attention!
“I want to see what you’re up to!”
Zhou Chen sneered inwardly. It would be foolish not to take advantage of a good opportunity.
So what if it was a honey trap?
He could just eat the honey and discard the trap, couldn’t he?
It was a good opportunity to earn some Romance Points!
Zhou Chen gripped Liu Ru Yi’s hands tightly, turned around, pinned her against the wall, and stared straight into her eyes:
“You can still back out now.”
“Although this servant is but a woman, my word is my bond. How can I go back on my word?”
“You think I wouldn’t dare?”
“How could a great hero like you not dare?”
“Are you playing with fire?”
“Yes, please grant me this favor, hero!”
“Then I shall grant you your wish!”
Click, click!
Zhou Chen chuckled. Liu Ru Yi’s hands were once again bound as before, lest she accidentally tear off his mask later.
Liu Ru Yi’s cheeks were flushed, but there was no sign of unwillingness in her eyes. Zhou Chen didn’t care what she was planning. Since she was so willing, he wouldn’t be polite.
“Ah, hero, be gentle… mm…”
Zhou Chen ignored her.
It wasn’t his own thing anyway, so he didn’t feel bad if it got damaged.
The moon was deep, the night was passionate.
Except for some innocent victims and maidservants, everyone else in S*i Bao Yu’s mansion had been dealt with by Ji Feng Xia. Even their ashes had been scattered.
The entire mansion was quiet, except for the master bedroom, which was filled with fiery passion.
The moon slowly sank westward.
Dawn was approaching.
Zhou Chen felt like he was back at his school’s sports day, having finished seven hundred meters of the eight hundred meter race, leaving only the final hundred meter sprint.
A moment later.
Zhou Chen completed the race. He used his Thunderclap Wish-Fulfilling Hand and pressed a few times on Liu Ru Yi’s abdomen.
Liu Ru Yi’s body trembled, as if she had been electrocuted.
Well, she actually had been electrocuted.
And the bacteria that had invaded her body were electrocuted to death.
After these bacteria were electrocuted, they wouldn’t pose a threat to human life. Instead, they would act like a vaccine, beneficial and harmless.
“Alright, from now on, we’re even. Farewell!”
Looking at Liu Ru Yi, her face flushed and tears streaming down her face, Zhou Chen left these words and departed without hesitation.
This woman knew martial arts and had thrown herself at him. She must have had ulterior motives. Zhou Chen didn’t want to have anything to do with her in the future.
Leaving S*i Bao Yu’s mansion, Zhou Chen found a secluded place, took off all his clothes, and Ji Feng Xia burned them to ashes with Yin Fire.
“Feng Xia, clean my entire body, leaving no trace of my aura!”
“As you wish, master!”
Ji Feng Xia controlled the Yin Fire and burned Zhou Chen’s entire body.
After confirming that there was no trace of anyone else’s aura left, Zhou Chen took out new clothes from the Wind and Moon Mirror and changed into them, throwing the human skin mask into the mirror as well.
When he returned home, Qin Hong Yu was still fast asleep.
Zhou Chen slipped into the bed, embraced her warm and soft body, and skillfully merged with her from behind.
Meanwhile.
In S*i Bao Yu’s mansion.
Liu Ru Yi came back to her senses after a long time. Looking at the place where Zhou Chen had disappeared, she cursed softly:
“D*mn man…”
She lowered her head, touched her slightly swollen belly, and a look of anticipation appeared in her eyes:
“I wonder if I’ll get pregnant?”
“But my eyes were good!”
“What a strong man!”
“Although he was wearing a mask, he shouldn’t be u*ly, and he’s quite young!”
“Just a little too rough!”
She circulated her inner energy, her blood and Qi flowing through her body. Her limbs, which had been rendered weak and powerless by Zhou Chen, regained some strength.
She quickly changed her appearance and hurriedly left the room.
“So many people were dealt with?”
Quickly scanning her surroundings, Liu Ru Yi didn’t find any of S*i Bao Yu’s guards. They had obviously all been taken care of by Zhou Chen.
She didn’t dwell on it. It was almost dawn.
She left S*i Bao Yu’s mansion and took out a small bee.
The little bee buzzed, circled in the air, and then flew in the direction Zhou Chen had left.
A smile appeared on Liu Ru Yi’s lips, and she immediately followed.
“I’ll find out who you are!”
However, a moment later, the smile on Liu Ru Yi’s face froze. The little bee buzzed around in place, unable to find its way.
She had smeared a special kind of honey on her lips and other specific parts of her body.
Zhou Chen had been in contact with her for so long, he must have gotten some on him, and even bathing wouldn’t wash it off.
That scent wouldn’t disappear for at least half a month.
In other words, she could track him with the little bee for half a month. She just didn’t expect Zhou Chen to be so careful and to have a special method to completely remove all traces of her scent.
“What a cautious man, but…”
“This is even better!”
Liu Ru Yi looked down at her slightly swollen belly, feeling even more satisfied, but she wasn’t sure if she would get pregnant.
“I should be able to…”
Liu Ru Yi prayed silently.
That b*stard had so much, and he had all…
…
“Not a bad deal!”
Zhou Chen was holding Qin Hong Yu, but his mind was on what had just happened.
Although he had lost hundreds of billions, he had earned five thousand Romance Points.
He had never earned so many at once before.
“As expected, the higher a woman’s cultivation, the more Romance Points!”
“I have to find a suitable cultivation method for Hong Yu and make her stronger.”
The reason he was able to earn five thousand Romance Points in one night was, firstly, because Ji Feng Xia had advanced to the fifth level of Qi Refinement, and her Romance Points were higher than before.
Secondly, Liu Ru Yi was at the fourth level of Body Refinement, and it was her first time.
Thirdly, Zhou Chen had worked hard without holding back.
All of this was the result of his hard work.
How much sweat and effort he had put in was something that outsiders couldn’t understand.
The golden crow rose in the east.
Daylight broke.
Zhou Chen got up and washed up with Qin Hong Yu’s help, and then they went out for breakfast together.
Chen’s Noodle House.
It was the one opposite Yang Ding Tian’s shop.
As Zhou Chen and Qin Hong Yu were eating their noodles, they suddenly heard a commotion in the distance. They saw Salt Gang disciples running wildly on the street with aggressive looks on their faces.
“It seems S*i Lei has discovered that his son is missing!”
Zhou Chen thought to himself.
With Ji Feng Xia around, he didn’t even leave a body behind when he killed, so S*i Lei definitely couldn’t confirm whether S*i Bao Yu was dead or not.
…
Salt Gang’s Qing He Branch Headquarters.
Branch Master S*i Lei’s face was gloomy, his heart burning with anger. His only son was missing, and along with him, all the guards, including the Body Refinement second level bodyguard he had sent.
He knew that in this situation, his son was more likely dead than alive.
A day passed.
S*i Lei turned Qing He City upside down but couldn’t find any clues.
“D*mn it! Whoever it is, I will not let you go for killing my son!”
S*i Lei wrote a letter and called his trusted subordinate, S*i Hong:
“Go to the headquarters immediately and ask Retainer Bai to come over!”
“Branch Master, Retainer Bai charges a very high fee…”
S*i Hong was S*i Lei’s nephew and couldn’t help but remind him.
Retainer Bai, whose name was Bai Ru Yun, was a Qi Refinement sixth level cultivator, skilled in tracking. His success rate was as high as ninety percent!
“That was my only son!”
S*i Lei roared: “Even if it costs me everything, I will tear the murderer to pieces!”
“Yes!”
