When Chen Pingchuan used his appraisal skill, the azure light screen made it look as if he were staring intently at Li Chuntao. This gave her the strong delusion that he was captivated by her beauty.
So, while inwardly mocking Chen Pingchuan for his false propriety, she secretly cursed his thievery, acting as if Old Man Li's possessions were her own. I'll sell him out the second I'm free, she resolved. I'll make sure everyone knows he found a treasure.
Despite her malicious thoughts, Li Chuntao kept a pitiful and innocent look on her face.
"Sir," she said softly, her voice carrying a seductive allure. "Can I... can I leave now? Look, you've already gotten what you wanted. Won't you please let go?"
She bit her lower lip slightly, her eyes glistening with tears, the very picture of pitiable fragility.
When Chen Pingchuan didn't respond, a flash of panic crossed her eyes, and she spoke again. "You... you aren't planning to kill now that you have the treasure, are you? Sir, I beg you to spare . I'm just a poor, helpless girl." Original content can be found at NoveI~Fire
After speaking, Li Chuntao tried to grab Chen Pingchuan's arm, leaning forward to reveal a burst of cleavage.
Chen Pingchuan was not only unmoved but even let the disgust he had been suppressing show on his face. As he dodged backward, he said indifferently, "Don't be silly, madam. I don't kill won. You can go."
That one word, 'madam,' completely shattered Li Chuntao's facade. Hatred for Chen Pingchuan flooded her heart, so much so that when she turned to leave, she forgot to maintain her act as a helpless woman.
WHOOSH!
Li Chuntao hadn't even reached the door when the bell of fate tolled for her. Chen Pingchuan picked up a fragnt from the shattered wooden cabinet and threw it with all his might. The not-so-large piece of wood seed to carry an imnse force, piercing ruthlessly through her head before she could even react.
BANG!
With a soft thud, Li Chuntao's body dropped like a puppet with its strings cut, crashing hard onto the ground. Blood erupted from her shattered skull like a burst dam, quickly spreading out to form a shocking pool on the floor.
Oops, too much force!
Chen Pingchuan hadn't expected his current strength to be so imnse. Based on my feeling, that strike should have just been enough to kill her, not create such a gory scene.
However, the sudden surge in all his physical attributes had thrown off his control over his own body.
Looking at his handiwork on the ground, Chen Pingchuan clasped his hands together. Your acting was good, but it's a sha I have a system. Tragic.
After muttering to himself, Chen Pingchuan quickly left Old Man Li's residence. He needed to find that armored vehicle he wanted in the mining site. He, Chen Pingchuan, was about to beco a man with his own vehicle.
After Chen Pingchuan vanished from sight outside Old Man Li's villa, a woman who had been hiding far away slowly approached the small building. She first gave the villa a brief scan, eventually spotting Li Chuntao's tragic state in the second-floor study.
Instantly stunned by the scene, she began muttering to herself, "The mory is real. He isn't my classmate at all, but a monster possessed by the Demon God. His behavior is just like a Black Demon... which ans my classmate Chen Pingchuan is probably already dead, and no one else knows his true identity."
"No, I have to stop him. I have to tell Sister Nightingale the truth."
The woman muttering to herself was Ye Luo. Chen Pingchuan's earlier guess had been correct; she was also the mysterious woman outside the Energy Crystal Warehouse.
Tonight, after having already fallen asleep, Ye Luo had suddenly received a vivid and incredibly realistic mory. In that mory, a mysterious killer attacked the mining site, sparking a huge battle between Sister Nightingale's faction and the mine guards. Then, her classmate Chen Pingchuan suddenly appeared, stunning everyone with his overwhelming dominance. He proclaid himself to be from the Divine Realm and even began preparing to deal with the impending Black Demon tide.
The mory had seed normal up to this point. Even though Chen Pingchuan's abilities exceeded Nightingale's expectations, the rest was sothing she could still accept.
However, with the arrival of the Black Demon tide, she saw the impossible: several ten-ter-tall Kings of Black Magic who actually knew Chen Pingchuan. His final words, "We're on the sa side," shattered all of Nightingale's hopes. The tiny flicker of affection Ye Luo had felt for him also vanished completely with that shout.
Black Demons were Ye Luo's lifelong enemy; her life's wish was to kill every last one of them.
Ye Luo's real na was Lan Yeluo. Her parents and her younger brother had all died in the Black Demon massacre that followed the Red Rain. If not for her remarkable talent being discovered by Huang Yujia, who was on a mission in the outer district, she too would have likely perished in that catastrophe. This was the reason for Ye Luo's intense hatred of the Black Demons.
Now, although Chen Pingchuan's appearance was unchanged, Ye Luo was certain. He's no longer human!
That mory must be divine guidance. It was just like back then in the outer district; she had prayed for God to save her, and her pious prayers were answered when she t the gallant Sister Huang Yujia.
Of course, Chen Pingchuan knew nothing of the person behind him. Had he known Ye Luo was still tailing him, he would have laid nurous traps, waiting for the girl to walk right into them so he could kill her. Whether it was a misunderstanding or not was unimportant.
Chen Pingchuan searched the mining site but couldn't find the armored vehicle. Unfortunately, while the appraisal skill could identify item information, it didn't have a search or locate function. It was a real pain.
Although he didn't find the vehicle, his search wasn't a total loss; at least he had discovered Nightingale's whereabouts.
At that mont, Nightingale was directing her subordinates. One group was settling the female wanderers Old Man Li had captured for his own pleasure, while another was taking the captives from the mining site and locking them up one by one in the cafeteria. The reason for locking them in there was that only the cafeteria had enough space to hold all the prisoners. This wasn't because there were too many mine guards, but because there were too many miners. This unassuming mining site surprisingly housed hundreds of them.
Chen Pingchuan watched the busy Nightingale and began to mull things over. Should I take Nightingale with when I leave? A level-six powerhouse would be a considerable asset... but humans are creatures of emotion. Those different feelings often lead people to make the wrong decisions at critical monts, becoming what people would call a liability.
Forget it. I really am better off alone.
After hesitating for a mont, Chen Pingchuan finally decided to continue his journey alone.
