"I don't faint at the sight of blood.
Back in college, I even dared to watch the needle go into my vein during blood draws!"
Gui Nianqiu wiped away her tears and looked up at Tao Bai, puzzled.
"Why are you asking that, Tao Gege?"
"That's good."
Tao Bai reached out and pulled Gui Nianqiu up from the ground.
"Let's head back to the shop first. Tonight, I'll take you somewhere."
At 11 PM, Tao Bai summoned the Wind-Devouring Bug from within his body.
Gui Nianqiu stared curiously at the creature that suddenly appeared before her—
A bug with strange patterns on its wings and a faint golden glow flowing over them.
"What is this?"
"This is the Wind-Devouring Bug. I call it 'Gugu.' You can call it Gugu too."
"Gugu?"
Gui Nianqiu murmured doubtfully.
Hearing this, the Wind-Devouring Bug fluttered its wings happily.
This was the first time a girl had called its name!
Tao Bai pressed his sword finger to his brow, drawing a thread of divine soul.
A flash of white light vanished abruptly, sinking into the Wind-Devouring Bug's body.
"Wind stirs chaos in the heavens,
Bug-song devours mortal dust.
Five senses shared, penetrating the spirit realm,
My soul and yours become one. Gugu, follow the scent and—Go!"
The incantation finished, the Wind-Devouring Bug flapped its wings and flew, transforming into a streak of white light that vanished before their eyes.
"Hey, where's Gugu?"
Gui Nianqiu blinked, feeling utterly amazed.
"It's locking onto the location, mapping the pursuit route, and disabling surveillance near the target."
Tao Bai explained briefly.
"Whatever you see, don't be afraid, understand?"
As the Wind-Devouring Bug returned to Tao Bai's body, she summoned an earth-colored oil paper umbrella.
"Nianqiu," Tao Bai gazed at Gui Nianqiu softly, "Are you ready?"
Gui Nianqiu nodded slightly, her heart racing with excitement.
"Ready!"
"Step under the umbrella. Hold onto my waist like last time."
Gui Nianqiu obeyed immediately.
"Shun!"
Teleporting while carrying someone, or teleporting while folding an umbrella, will halve the distance of the teleportation.
The next moment, they materialized in a deserted suburban area.
This location was precisely 2.5 kilometers from the shop.
It was a moonless, windy night.
Beneath the pitch-black sky stood a tree that had lived for thousands of years.
Its leaves were withered and yellow, and some branches had completely dried out.
Two enormous vines—
One black, one white—
Clung tightly to the trunk, slowly climbing upward.
Both vines had sunk deep into the trunk, frantically draining the tree's nutrients while simultaneously releasing venom of extreme destructive and corrosive power.
They were working together to strangle the ancient tree to death.
Around the vines grew a few eerily beautiful flowers and plants, gazing at the two vines with a look of admiration and adoration.
They saw the vines' courage and strength, yet forgot that the nutrients they absorbed came from the tree itself, and that every storm was weathered by the tree shielding them.
Tao Bai unleashed a Wind Feather Blade.
With a flash of the golden wheel, he severed both vines at their roots.
The vines gushed venom.
A pool of foul-smelling, filthy blood pooled at the tree's base.
Yet the TREE shuddered at that moment, its yellow leaves fluttering, feeling a newfound lightness.
The autumn wind rocked the seductive flowers and plants back and forth.
Meanwhile, about four kilometers away, in the bedroom of a villa, a completely naked woman was also rocking back and forth.
Beneath her lay is the man.
...
The woman moaned(In English), "Oh, babe... it's so deep... your cock is so big... oh fork... fork harderharderharder... yesyesyes..."
Both were utterly absorbed, her voice loud enough to create an echo in the vast bedroom.
Neither noticed two figures silently appearing in the dim corner.
Tao Bai watched them unabashedly, silent, inwardly sneering.
These two had absolutely no clue!
They didn't even grasp the most basic "Sixteen-Word Mantra"!
A woman's pleasure wasn't just about size—it demanded delicate technique!
Gui Nianqiu, standing nearby, froze completely.
Her left hand covered her eyes as her heart rate shot up to over 180 beats per minute.
Her right hand kept stroking her chest, desperately trying to calm the storm raging inside her.
A live erotic scene—
This was Gui Nianqiu's first time witnessing such a thing!
It sent her emotions into a frenzy!
Until now, she'd been utterly naive, having only seen kissing and cuddling scenes in movies.
But the blood-pumping spectacle before her eyes was too much for Gui Nianqiu's little heart to handle.
She felt like she might suffocate.
Tao Bai glanced at Gui Nianqiu, thinking to himself.
It hasn't even been that long, and they're already at it...
Seems it's an untimely arrival…
Just as Tao Bai was thinking this, he caught sight of Gui Nianqiu's left fingers twitching.
She parted them slightly, peeking through the gap.
....
A quarter of an hour later.
"Ugh~~~!"
The woman let out a deep, drawn-out cry before collapsing onto the man's body, kissing his two thick sausages.
A dark brown tongue suddenly emerged from between the sausages.
Without hesitation, the woman took the tongue into her mouth, exchanging saliva.
Moments later, they ended this wet kiss.
"Feel better now? Babe, I'll make him pay for what he did to you! Now I need a shower... Ugh!!"(in English)
As the woman turned, she caught sight of Tao Bai and Guianqiu in the corner.
Instantly, she grabbed a sheet to cover her naked body, then let out a bloodcurdling scream.
Tao Bai immediately delivered a slap through the air, sending her crashing into the wall.
She slowly collapsed onto the wooden floor, the sheet half-covering her private parts, but one was still accidentally exposed.
She slept with unusual tranquility.
Make BenZuo pay?
BenZuo will make you pay first!
If not for our shared heritage, that slap would've killed you!
The man, naked, snatched a garment to cover himself, sat up against the headboard, and stared at Tao Bai in utter bewilderment, his heart sinking.
How did he find this place?
And how did he get inside?
He'd just had his girlfriend's shop smashed this afternoon, and now he'd come knocking?
He could tear you apart...
He was truly untouchable...
"Yo, chill, dawg. Just talk to me, man. We can figure it out, no cap. I got the money, I can hit you wit it."
Then, realizing Tao Bai was HuaXianese, he switched to broken Mandarin:
"Hey, brother, relax, relax.
Let's talk this out.
Everything's negotiable.
I got money. I can give you money."
Though Tao Bai was fluent in eight languages, he could only grasp about half of the guy's English.
It wasn't until he heard the Mandarin follow-up that he fully understood his meaning.
"Brother?
Are you qualified for calling BenZuo this?"
Without another word, Tao Bai flicked his right hand.
The golden wheel flashed, hurtling toward the man's head.
In the next instant, the head rolled to the ground.
Blood first spurted from the neck, then gushed steadily.
Confusion and resentment flickered alternately in his eyes.
This process lasted a full twenty seconds until the light completely faded from his pupils!
It was evident how tenacious his life force had been.
His malevolent energy remained profoundly heavy.
Tao Bai summoned Qiankun Gourd to collect that dense cloud of malevolent energy.
Seeing his soul separate from his body and attempt to flee the area, Tao Bai flipped his palm and let out a soft scoff.
"Blood-Link Mill, go!"
The Blood-Link Mill spun in midair, turning ethereal as it rapidly expanded.
An invisible force shot out from the hole at its center, wrapping around the soul like a rope and binding it tightly in place.
The soul stared at Tao Bai—
And at the stone mill that had flown out from his chest and could actually grow larger—
Its eyes filled with terror.
What the mill ground was not beans, but souls the size of mung beans!
Tao Bai interrogated the soul, demanding to know where the valuables in his home were hidden, and where the people who had smashed up the shop earlier that day had gone.
Faced with Tao Bai's imposing presence, it dared not resist.
Like a sieve with holes, it spilled out the locations of all the hidden treasures, the names of the shop-smashing gang, and their hideouts.
After absorbing the soul and stuffing stacks of Huaxia currency and US dollars into his storage pouch, Tao Bai and Gui Nianqiu departed.
