Chapter 151: Chapter 0151: Vicious_1
At this moment, dawn was breaking.
Liu Ruomei stood on a large rock, yelling at Zhang Bin, who was rushing toward her at high speed.
Her hair was a mess, and her face was crisscrossed with bloody scratches from sharp blades of grass. Her clothes and pants were ragged and tattered; it was clear she had been through a lot. Big Fatty was in a similar state, his fur matted with grass clippings.
"Sister Mei, are you crazy? You entered Great Green Mountain at night?" Zhang Bin asked, leaping down with a shocked expression.
"You need to get back to your sect quickly—there’s a Peak Pulse-Condensation Realm Cultivator coming to kill you..." Liu Ruomei collapsed directly into Zhang Bin’s arms. Her eyes were nearly swollen shut, but she still managed to quickly explain the situation.
Zhang Bin was touched. He cradled her as if she were a precious treasure. "Thank you, Sister Mei."
"Then hurry up and go! Don’t worry about me," Liu Ruomei said anxiously.
"It’s just a Peak Pulse-Condensation Realm Cultivator, right? Not some catastrophic beast. What’s there to be afraid of? Besides, he hasn’t even reached the Rushing Pulse Peak. Otherwise, he could have already opened his last meridian and broken through to the Qi Sea Realm." Zhang Bin took out some Spiritual Water from his backpack and helped her take a large gulp.
Having unblocked another four meridians, his ability for Qi gathering had seen a huge improvement. This Spiritual Energy, of course, was something he had collected along the way, filling ten mineral water bottles.
GULP...
After swallowing a mouthful of Spiritual Water, Liu Ruomei’s eyes widened. Her gaze was frozen on the large mineral water bottle in Zhang Bin’s hand as she said in shock, "My heavens, such a huge bottle of Jade Liquid? How can your sect be so wealthy?"
"Have a few more sips," Zhang Bin said with a smile, offering no explanation as he urged her to drink more.
Liu Ruomei took one more small sip and then steadfastly refused any more, considering it a tremendous waste.
Zhang Bin then had Big Fatty open his mouth and poured some Spiritual Water inside.
Liu Ruomei was so furious she almost coughed up blood. "You spendthrift!" she exclaimed in exasperation. "You’re feeding Jade Liquid to a dog! You’ll be struck by lightning for this!"
"I am good to those who are good to me. I won’t be stingy with my Jade Liquid," Zhang Bin said, looking at Liu Ruomei with deep affection.
Liu Ruomei’s face instantly flushed red. She shot Zhang Bin a fierce glare. "I wasn’t being nice to you at all. I was just afraid that you’d be crippled or killed, which would break my sister’s heart."
Zhang Bin didn’t argue. He swept her up by the waist and began sprinting back. Big Fatty naturally scampered along right behind him.
"You idiot! Moron! Are you going back just to get yourself killed?" Liu Ruomei yelled, enraged and frustrated.
"Don’t worry, I can handle it," Zhang Bin said, lowering his head and planting a kiss on her cheek.
Liu Ruomei froze for a moment, then began pounding on his chest. "You Big Bad Egg, how dare you bully me? I’m going to tell my sister..."
"What’s the big deal about your brother-in-law kissing your cheek?" Zhang Bin said nonchalantly.
"Then I suppose sleeping with you is no big deal either?" Liu Ruomei said with a playful pout.
That’s right. Sooner or later, I’ll devour you, Zhang Bin thought to himself, though of course he didn’t say it out loud as he continued to run swiftly.
"Stop, you jerk! Are you really going to get yourself killed?" Liu Ruomei shouted anxiously.
"I can’t bear to part with this dazzling world, much less a beauty as lovely as a flower like you. How could I possibly go looking for death? Relax," Zhang Bin said with a wicked smile.
Could it be that he grew up drinking Jade Liquid as if it were water? Is that why he’s so powerful and isn’t afraid of an expert like Gu Yang?
Liu Ruomei had just seen Zhang Bin’s large bottle of Spiritual Water and was starting to believe it, so she stopped struggling. Instead, she wrapped her arms around his neck, a shy blush coloring her face. She was enjoying the feeling of being protected by him.He’s my brother-in-law. It’s only right for him to care for and protect me, she rationalized, feeling entirely at ease and no longer minding his intimate embrace.
After a while, they ran into Tian Bingbing, who had Second Fatty with her.
Tian Bingbing was in even worse shape than Liu Ruomei. After all, she had yet to break through to the Rushing Pulse Realm, so she couldn’t compare to Liu Ruomei in terms of physical stamina or cultivation level.
Zhang Bin was deeply moved. He gently set down the mostly recovered Liu Ruomei, gave Tian Bingbing a sip of Spiritual Water, and then lifted her into his arms before continuing his rapid return.
Liu Ruomei, of course, was left to walk on her own. She was certainly annoyed but felt powerless to stop him. After all, she had always believed that Tian Bingbing and Zhang Bin had slept together that night, which made her one of his former lovers. He couldn’t just abandon Tian Bingbing in the dense forest of Great Green Mountain, could he?
Tian Bingbing was naturally embarrassed, as she had never been held so intimately by a man. Being in the dense forest, the uneven path caused them to bump and brush against each other constantly. She could smell his distinct masculine scent, and a strange feeling began to stir in her heart, making her body feel a little weak. But more than that, she felt cherished and cared for.
With a blush on her face, her eyes fluttered half-closed, her gaze occasionally drifting to Zhang Bin’s handsome face. Her maiden heart began to pound. THUMP. THUMP. THUMP.
But she quickly snapped out of this strange feeling. But Zhang Bin has a girlfriend! How can I be having such wild thoughts?
Nevertheless, she didn’t ask to be put down. For one, she truly hadn’t recovered her strength; for another, she was also enjoying this feeling of being protected. Of course, just like Liu Ruomei, she pleaded with Zhang Bin not to go back and get himself killed, but it had no effect. Zhang Bin continued to race back.
Even if he wasn’t confident, he had to fight his enemy. Even if it meant his life, he would protect his family.
Before the sky had fully lightened, a Mercedes was speeding down the road, heading straight for Sanchahe Village. The driver was Diao Chenghua, with Turen Xiong in the passenger seat and Gu Yang sitting in the back. Turen Xiong and Diao Chenghua had accompanied Gu Yang simply to watch Zhang Bin get crippled and vent their resentment.
Gu Yang wasn’t nervous at all. Like the other two, his face was fixed in a vicious grin, as if he could already see the wonderful scene of Zhang Bin lying in a pool of his own blood.
"Senior Gu Yang, Zhang Bin has miraculous medical skills, so you have to be thorough when you cripple him," Diao Chenghua said with murderous intent. "For instance, you should pull out his meridians, crush his bones to dust, and ideally cut off his arms and legs. And of course, his Dantian must be punctured. Otherwise, he might just recover, and that would be a catastrophe."
"I’ll use a Secret Technique to destroy his foundation. He’ll draw his last breath in about a month," Gu Yang said with a cruel smile. Since he was going to make a move, he had to be ruthless. If he weren’t worried about the Daoyi Sect intervening, he would kill Zhang Bin outright and leave no loose ends.
"What about Zhang Bin’s family?" Turen Xiong asked, his voice as cold as ice.
"That’s none of my concern. You handle it," Gu Yang said with a vicious grin.
His words were tantamount to giving them permission to go after Zhang Bin’s family. With their influence, once Zhang Bin was dead, it would be an easy thing to accomplish.
