Lu Fan gulped, swallowing hard. Jiang Ruoxin was already beautiful, and with her flushed cheeks and crystal water droplets after her bath, she was like a water lily. If it hadn't been for Zhan Tai Ruomei bringing her over, and if she had come on her own, Lu Fan might have been truly captivated.
"Zhan Tai Ruomei! You're so young, and for a few fruits, you came up with this plan! You sold your sister. Don't you think you've gone too far?" Lu Fan's face showed anger as he glared at Zhan Tai Ruomei and questioned her.
"I'm helping my sister! When I hypnotized her, I found out she often thinks of you. This proves she secretly likes you. So, I brought her to you," Zhan Tai Ruomei said, her big eyes blinking.
"You little brat! What do you know about liking someone! Take your sister back. If you dare to act out like this again, I'll spank you!" Lu Fan said, feigning anger.
"Hmph! My sister is so beautiful, I don't believe you don't like her!" Zhan Tai Ruomei said, puffing up her nose.
"What does a child know about liking someone? Can liking someone mean acting recklessly?" Lu Fan shouted, exasperated. If this child's mindset were indulged...
"Hehe! Then I want to know if you like my sister too!" Zhan Tai Ruomei suddenly smiled, her bright, watery eyes fixed on Lu Fan. *Snap*... she snapped her fingers.
Huh...! Lu Fan immediately felt a wave of drowsiness, followed by a mysterious force attempting to invade his spiritual consciousness...
"Zhan Tai Ruomei! You little imp, you almost got me... Hmph! Let me see what's inside your little head that gives you this ability." Lu Fan cursed inwardly. A consciousness quickly sealed the invading force outside his spiritual sea. At the same time, that consciousness followed the mysterious force and surged towards Zhan Tai Ruomei's spiritual sea.
*Whoosh*... Zhan Tai Ruomei froze instantly, her eyeballs not moving.
However, upon entering Zhan Tai Ruomei's spiritual sea, Lu Fan was greatly surprised. Inside her spiritual sea, a little girl was playing, and behind the little girl was a completely sealed space. He couldn't see anything at all.
*Whoosh*... Lu Fan's consciousness retreated from Zhan Tai Ruomei's spiritual sea. By this time, he was drenched in sweat and felt incredibly fatigued.
Zhan Tai Ruomei also swayed for a moment and suddenly woke up.
"Hmph! You win!" Zhan Tai Ruomei pouted and snorted, looking unconvinced as she helped Jiang Ruoxin and turned to leave.
"Hoo..." Lu Fan breathed a sigh of relief. He was already exhausted, but the child Zhan Tai Ruomei seemed unaffected. If this little fellow were to hypnotize him again, he probably wouldn't be able to resist.
*Plop*... Lu Fan sat down on the bed and began to cultivate and regulate his breathing! In this state, encountering an enemy would be extremely dangerous. Moreover, he had offended quite a few people.
*Ding*... A message suddenly arrived. Lu Fan opened his eyes slightly and glanced at his phone.
The text message was from Bai Xuemei: Lin Xiaohu is dead!
*Ding*... Another message tone sounded: The Lin family is enraged! Beware of retaliation!
Lu Fan put down his phone and continued cultivating!
In the adjacent room, Jiang Ruoxin suddenly opened her eyes. Then, she glared at Zhan Tai Ruomei with a look of indignation: "You... you hypnotized me again!?"
"Hehe! I sent you to Brother Fan!" Zhan Tai Ruomei said with a giggle.
"What? You little imp, are you trying to kill me?" Jiang Ruoxin was startled. She glanced at her attire and, in a panic, reached inside her pajamas... she was braless! Not even the slightest layer of protection!
"Hehe! Brother Fan didn't want you and sent you back! Oh no, it looks like your liking for him was in vain," Zhan Tai Ruomei said with a giggle.
"You little brat! If you mess around again, believe it or not, I'll beat you to death!" Jiang Ruoxin glared at Zhan Tai Ruomei, her body feeling fine. She suddenly asked, "He... he really didn't touch me at all?"
"No! He even scolded me! Hmph! He even said... 'You little imp, what do you know about liking someone? Can liking someone mean acting recklessly?'" Zhan Tai Ruomei said, mimicking Lu Fan with her hands on her hips, then playfully shrugging her shoulders.
"He really said that?" Jiang Ruoxin's heart stirred. She hadn't expected Lu Fan to be such a gentleman...
"Stop messing around, go to sleep!" *Swish*... Jiang Ruoxin got up and took a small piece of underwear from her suitcase to put on. Without it, she felt a layer of protection was missing. It felt more secure to wear it!
At this moment, two minivans were speeding along the highway towards Jinyuan County, one after the other.
In the second car sat Lin Quan and a thin old man, Old Ma! Behind them sat two men in black, their faces cold, each carrying a long, heavy-looking box.
"Old Ma! This time, we must kill that kid Lu Fan. Kill everyone around him," Lin Quan shouted through gritted teeth. How many times had they failed to kill Lu Fan? Now, Lu Fan had killed his father with蛊毒. Every minute Lu Fan lived was an agony for him. He wanted Lu Fan dead immediately, and everyone around him dead, to quench his hatred.
"This kid is very tough! If we can't kill him tonight, it will be very difficult to get another chance," Old Ma said with a grave expression.
Before leaving, he had divined that if Lu Fan wasn't killed tonight, it would be even harder to kill him later. Therefore, this time he brought two snipers and a group of strong individuals, determined to kill Lu Fan.
...
*Creak*... *Creak*... The two minivans stopped at a secluded intersection without streetlights not far from the hotel. Several people in black, wearing black hoods, got out of the cars and quickly ran towards the hotel.
Lu Fan was sitting on the bed, cultivating. *Whoosh*... The lights in the room suddenly went out. *Swish*... Lu Fan instantly got off the bed, gently opened the door, and found the corridor completely dark.
Suddenly, at the stairwell, two red dots appeared... drifting towards Lu Fan.
