"Help, help! Give me a quick death, I can't take it anymore."
The man in black felt an unbearable itch all over his body, from top to bottom. He laughed hysterically and begged Lin Xiaotian for mercy.
Lin Xiaotian smiled dismissively and said, "This is just the beginning. My Five-Colored True Qi will make you experience sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and itchy sensations, each one unique."
"You can't even handle the first one, and you're already giving up?"
"I... *sob sob*, I feel like crying. I really can't take it anymore. Please, brother, give me a quick death, *sob sob*."
As soon as the man in black finished speaking, he couldn't help but burst into tears again.
Lin Xiaotian continued to infuse his true qi. Just as the man was about to suffocate from crying, a sour sensation struck his head. The sourness slowly spread from his brain nerves to every muscle in his body.
Before long, he collapsed on the ground, convulsing and writhing in agony.
"Brother, I was wrong. Please let me go. I'll tell you, we were actually... *cough*!"
The man in black was about to reveal the truth when, at the critical moment, a poisoned needle flew out from the passage. Before anyone could react, the needle pierced the man's throat, killing him instantly.
Lin Xiaotian frowned and quickly took Chu Nianxue and Ye Wantong away from the scene. As soon as they exited the Western restaurant, he saw a swift figure leap onto the rooftop and disappear quickly.
"Xiaotian, he's there! Hurry and chase him!"
Ye Wantong also saw the figure and urged Lin Xiaotian in a panic.
However, Lin Xiaotian did not pursue. Instead, he turned to Chu Nianxue and said, "Wife, let's go home."
"Home? Aren't you going to chase that person?" Chu Nianxue also looked surprised and asked in confusion.
"He's already vanished, and with his speed, he could have escaped before I came out. He deliberately showed himself, clearly setting a trap. Or, their target might shift to you two, and we'll be the ones at a disadvantage."
Lin Xiaotian was very astute. He had seen through the opponent's trickery as soon as they came out, so he had no intention of pursuing.
Hearing this, Chu Nianxue thought Lin Xiaotian was incredibly smart and immediately nodded, getting into the car with him.
She instructed the driver, who then drove them straight towards the villa.
After they left, a dark figure appeared not far away, gazing at Lin Xiaotian's retreating figure with deep eyes, frowning and saying, "I didn't expect you to be so clever, boy. You didn't fall for my trap."
"You're lucky tonight. Next time, you won't be so fortunate."
With that, the dark figure covered his head again and left the area.
About ten minutes later, Lin Xiaotian returned home with Chu Nianxue and Ye Wantong.
As soon as Ye Wantong entered the house, she changed her shoes and slumped onto the sofa like a puddle of mud, saying in a relaxed tone, "That was too close. If there's ever a good meal like this again, I'm never going with you guys."
"Who did you two offend? Why would they resort to such despicable methods against you?"
"Yes, who was it that attacked us tonight? Could it be the pavilion master of Langyun Pavilion who served us?" Chu Nianxue was also shocked by the events of the night and asked doubtfully.
"Whether it's her or not, I'll know when I go find her tomorrow."
Lin Xiaotian was unsure who had attacked them tonight. If it was truly Langyun Pavilion, he would make them pay dearly.
However, based on his analysis, his master wouldn't deceive him. Since Langyun Pavilion was his ally, they wouldn't be his enemy.
If the culprit was someone else, then who could it be?
"Alright, it's getting late tonight. Let's go to rest. The truth will be revealed sooner or later."
Lin Xiaotian came back to his senses and comforted the two women.
Ye Wantong's eyes darted around, and she suddenly looked at Lin Xiaotian and said, "Xiaotian, you cost me eight hundred thousand today. You have to make it up to me. Give me a massage later, and I'll forgive you."
"You want me to give you a massage? Aren't you afraid I'll do something to you?"
Lin Xiaotian teased her intentionally, appraising her graceful figure, and said with a faint smile, "My wife told me that as long as I like you, I can bully you however I want. Even if I make you my concubine, she wouldn't mind."
"Ah? When did I..."
Hearing this, Chu Nianxue's eyes widened as she looked at Lin Xiaotian.
But before she could finish, Lin Xiaotian made a shushing gesture, signaling her not to expose him. Then he turned to Ye Wantong and said, "Girl, your petite figure, the more I look at it, the more I like it. How about we do something meaningful tonight? What do you say?"
"What did you say? Cousin, look at him quickly! He's going to bully me. Are you really not going to do anything about him?"
Ye Wantong saw the greedy expression on Lin Xiaotian's face and was so scared that she immediately got up and ran to Chu Nianxue for protection.
Chu Nianxue, however, was indifferent. She got up and said dismissively, "It has nothing to do with me. I'm tired now. I'm going to my room to rest."
"Cousin, don't go! Don't go!"
Ye Wantong's heart sank, thinking, "This is it."
She turned around and saw Lin Xiaotian unbuttoning his shirt, seemingly about to do something excessive to her.
Everything he said before about not being interested in her was a lie.
"Lin Xiaotian, if you dare to bully me, I'll bite my tongue and kill myself. Don't come any closer," Ye Wantong shouted at Lin Xiaotian in extreme fear.
"Then bite it. I bet you don't have the courage. Little girl, you can't escape tonight. You'd better obey me obediently."
Lin Xiaotian walked up to her and pounced down. She closed her eyes and screamed in fright.
But after a few seconds, she didn't feel anyone on her, nor did she feel her clothes being torn.
Slowly opening her eyes, she saw that Lin Xiaotian had already left, and the surroundings were empty.
"Lin Xiaotian, you scoundrel! You dared to trick me."
Ye Wantong angrily slapped the sofa, her face flushed red, and she got up to go back to her room to rest.
Lin Xiaotian had already arrived at Chu Nianxue's bedroom. He sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Chu Nianxue, who had a blank expression, and said, "Wife, you heard everything just now. Whenever I get close to that girl Ye Wantong, she screams in fear."
"Now you should believe me, that she and I are innocent, right? Don't doubt my character anymore."
"You mean, you were deliberately testing her just now to make me believe you two?" Chu Nianxue asked with a cold smile.
"Yes, isn't that proof enough? Wife, tonight's dinner was a mistake. I will definitely find out who is behind this. Now, let me kiss you. You smell so good."
Lin Xiaotian said and lunged towards Chu Nianxue. But as soon as he pounced, he was kicked by Chu Nianxue again.
*Whoosh!*
His body fell straight down!
