Chapter 1995: Evidence Burned
Zu An couldn\'t help but reminisce when he heard that familiar name. That really was a sweet memory... The only flaw was that he felt his kidneys hurt a bit even now when he thought of it.
Back then, Zheng Dan had been an educated and well-rounded unmarried daughter, and yet she was actually the boss of Brightmoon City largest criminal syndicate. Even so, because of collusion of insiders with a powerful outside enemy, there was a revolt and she had been afflicted with this drug by someone who intended to violate her.
And yet, as a result, Zu An had ended up getting all of the benefits. That day really had been... exhausting. However, those charming and gentle memories really were things he would never forget.
Meanwhjle, Fang Biao was bragging about his Eighteen Spring Winds, feeling awfully proud of himself. “...My pretty lady, once you’re drugged, you must have a man to send you to the heavens eighteen times to return to normal, and not even a single time can be missing! Otherwise, you\'ll be controlled by this drug for the rest of your life and become a slave to your desires! It’s best if you obediently follow me, or else you’ll end up becoming a tool for everyone!”
“You...!” Zhang Zitong cried, feeling ashamed and angry. She quickly took out a pill and swallowed it. As a silver token envoy, she always carried detoxifying medicines. A refreshing feeling dissolved in her throat. However, when compared to the raging inferno inside of her, that bit of coolness was like a cup of water on a burning cart.
“It’s useless. Eighteen Spring Winds is one of the world’s most potent drugs, so how could it have an antidote? The only antidote is a strong man,” Fang Biao said. He wasn’t worried at all, and instead maintained a safe distance from her to guard himself against a final desperateact of retaliation. This woman’s cultivation was a bit tricky, so it was best if he waited until the drug’s effects fully kicked in first. Then, he could do whatever he wanted.
The subordinate next to him blew a whistle and said, “Boss Biao, your waist can’t handle eighteen times either. How about you let us help you out a bit with that?”
“You idiots, this young master is known as the golden spear! Isn’t it just eighteen times?” Fang Biao retorted with a glare, but then he immediately changed his mind. “Even so, out of consideration for how you all bravely came to this young master’s aid, I will reward you all with a few times. Once I’ve had my fun, I’ll leave the rest to you.”
“Thank you so much for this generous gift, young master!” The other subordinates immediately became extremely excited. All of them actually knew very well that their boss Biao had already messed up his body from playing around with women for so many years. He’d probably throw in the towel after just three breaths. Still, he would probably use some drugs to spice things up, but that wouldn’t help him last that long either. At that point, this beauty with those beautiful long legs would be practically new. Wouldn’t she just be waiting for them to enjoy themselves?
When she heard their filthy speech, Zhang Zitong was angry and panicked. She wanted to use the chance to take their lives, but those people were extremely cunning and constantly ran around, not giving her any chance to kill them. She set her resolve, thinking that if she couldn\'t run away today, she would just jump into this river to end it all. She would rather do that than let such disgusting people humiliate her.
Just then, the other pickpocket who was still alive asked in confusion, “Wait, what happens if men get affected by this drug?”
“It\'ll be a bit worse than for women. They’ll mate with any women they see until they run out of steam and die,” Fang Biao reflexicely replied.
“But... Why is that man perfectly fine?” The pickpocket’s tone became a bit strange.
When he said that, the place immediately fell silent. Both Zhang Zitong and Fang Biao’s group turned to look at Zu An. That guy was standing there quietly as if everything that had happened had nothing to do with him at all.
“Why aren’t you producing even a bit of a reaction?” Fang Biao asked in disbelief.
Zu An said indifferently, “I wasn’t poisoned.”
“That’s impossible! I clearly saw the mist reach you!” Fang Biao cried out in alarm. “And even if you stopped breathing, it would still affect you as long as it touched your skin!”
“You’re overestimating the abilities of your drug too much,” Zu An said with a sigh. After his body was tempered under the Primordial Origin Sutra, he had already become immune to poison, but it didn’t stop aphrodisiacs. That had put him in an ugly spot time and time again. As such, he had already decided to prepare against these kinds of situations a while back. The instant the mist sprayed out, he had already put up an invisible ki barrier that separated all of it from him. With his current cultivation, Fang Biao’s attack was like slow motion to him.
“Kill him!” Fang Biao yelled; he instinctively felt that something wasn’t right. He quickly gave the orders for his subordinates to test Zu An out. He clearly sensed that Zu An’s ki aura was really faint, so why did this bastard give him such pressure right now?
As they charged at Zu An, those subordinates all screamed with reddened eyes. This beautiful woman was already almost theirs, and yet this brat just had to ruin their happy time! In that case, they would make him meet his maker first!
When he saw the malicious looks in their eyes, Zu An sighed. He hadn’t really wanted to join in on this kind of situation, but he really didn’t want his beautiful memory of ‘Eighteen Spring Winds’ to be ruined by people like this. He randomly kicked a blade that had fallen to the ground from the chaotic fight earlier. It immediately turned into a streak of light and instantly killed those dozen or so ferocious and despicable subordinates.
The fact that they could become Fang Biao’s subordinates meant that they were already quite strong in the Yin Yang Path. And yet, before that blade, they didn’t have any way to defend themselves. They had clearly been standing all over the place out of order, and yet it was as if they had delivered their necks up to the blade all at the same time.
As someone who engaged in evil practices, regardless of everything else, Fang Biao’s ability to judge situations was top-notch. When he saw that his subordinates were killed instantly, he turned to run without a moment of hesitation. He knew he definitely wasn\'t a match for this person. Only by running to a place with more people could he call for help from others from the Holy Sect. Then, perhaps he would be able to live through their joint efforts. He really was filled with regret. Why had he insisted on chasing all of those people away? Otherwise, with witnesses around, that bastard would definitely be too scared to do anything to him out of fear of his father’s reputation!
Just then, however, the streak of light didn’t seem to have weakened at all and instantly arrived behind him. He felt as if he had been trampled underfoot, and he staggered and fell to the ground. As a cultivator, he immediately understood that his leg’s tendons had already been cut.
While he was screaming miserably in pain, a woman in a white dress appeared in front of him. In that instant, he even forgot all of his pain. He felt as if he had never seen such a beautiful woman before. All of his concubines seemed tacky and vulgar in comparison. In all these years, perhaps only the saintess had the right to be compared to her, but the saintess was still too young and wasn’t full of stories like this woman. Her eyes seemed to be as deep as the starry sky...
Zu An quickly walked up to Fang Biao, who was being mind-controlled by Daji, and asked, “Do you know what happened recently to Yun Jianyue and Qiu Honglei?”
Fang Biao opened his mouth and replied, “Sect... Sect Master Yun is like a divine dragon who goes where she pleases. How could I know where her respected self is? As for the saintess... The saintess is about to become my sister-in-law.”
Zu An was stunned when he heard that. He immediately asked about what was going on.
“A few days ago, big brother told me excitedly that he was going to wed the saintess. At first, I thought he was dreaming, since we all know that the saintess doesn’t like him. However, father confirmed that information. To be honest, I really am envious that he\'s actually able to marry her. I was drawn to her from the first moment we met. Unfortunately, I knew my limits and understood that the difference between us was too great... However, she\'s about to become my sister-in-law, so we\'re keeping the good things within the family. None more tasty than dumplings, none more interesting than sisters...” Fang Biao replied.
Zu An smacked him in the face before he even finished. He cursed, “Your mouth is only full of common doggerel! Are you at an entrance exam for a graduate program right now?” Then, he asked where Qiu Honglei was right now.
“The saintess should be at the Heavenly Devil School,” Fang Biao replied, sounding a bit confused at his question.
Zu An thought to himself for a bit and asked, “Has anything major happened in your sect recently? Or is there something that\'s a bit different from usual? Either is fine; I want to hear about it.”
“I don’t think there\'s anything major. No, wait. A few days ago, there were some human-shaped ghostly monsters that came looking for my dad. They chatted for a long time just between the two of them. I was curious about their origins, but I was beaten by my dad when I asked about it. Right, and not long after, my father seemed to have suffered a serious injury. Even though he did his best to hide it, as his son, there was no way I wouldn’t be able to tell.”
Zu An’s brows furrowed. This Fang Biao didn’t seem to know any concrete details about Yun Jianyue and Qiu Honglei, but these clues were starting to paint a certain possibility. Then, he interrogated Fang Biao about a few more things.
Suddenly, people seemed to be approaching from the distance. It seemed they were hurrying in this direction. Thus, Zu An couldn\'t tarry for any longer. With a wave of his hand, the White Lotus Flame cleaned the entire scene, including Fang Biao, instantly burning everything away without even any ashes left behind. Then, a second before they arrived, he grabbed the stunned Zhang Zitong and disappeared into the distance.
...
When they arrived in a quiet place, Zhang Zitong finally reacted and struggled, protesting, “Let me go!”
Zu An blocked her attacks with a casual raise of his hand. He couldn\'t help but chuckle. He replied, “Weren’t you begging me to join your group a moment ago? Why are you now unwilling?”
“Don’t... Don’t touch me...” Zhang Zitong’s cheeks were bright red. She was really alarmed.
