He Banxian had indeed guessed Zhang Bin’s thoughts: he wanted to find a way to kill Hanbing Yun as soon as possible.
He was not the type to let a grudge last overnight. This woman had persecuted him many tis and even sent assassins to kill him. He could no longer bear it and had long wanted to put an end to Hanbing Yun.
His view of Hanbing Yun was different from others. In his eyes, she was not an indispensable scientist to the nation, but a great scourge who would inevitably bring disaster. This was partly due to her ambition and controlling nature, and partly due to her research on Genetically Enhanced Humans, which he knew would soon trigger a catastrophe. When these two factors were combined, the disaster would be severe beyond imagination.
Furthermore, I have an even deeper suspicion, Zhang Bin thought. Hanbing Yun’s insistence on subduing , and her willingness to kill if she fails, is all about silencing . She’s afraid I’ll leak the secret that the high mortality rate of Genetically Enhanced Humans is directly related to spiritual power. That would ruin her grand plan. What worries even more is that she might have already created them. Otherwise, how could she verify my theory?
He now deeply regretted revealing this critical secret to her. My good intentions completely backfired. I just never expected her to be such an ambitious and ruthless woman. Then again, maybe I’m overthinking it. Maybe the black-clothed, masked woman wasn’t sent by her at all, and soone is trying to fra her. Or maybe Hanbing Yun is just creating all this tension to provoke my anger and lure into a trap in the Capital City. It’s because I still have this trace of doubt, this sliver of hope that she isn’t such a malicious person, that I haven’t charged into the Capital City to kill her yet.
Of course, there’s another reason. I’m not powerful enough yet and lack the confidence to co and go as I please. More importantly, I now have the Array Plate from Gao Si, which I’ve used to construct the safest possible ho. I don’t have to worry about any of Hanbing Yun’s sches. That’s why I can be so calm and rational, focusing on my cultivation in peace. Otherwise, I’d be sleeping with one eye open and would have gone after Hanbing Yun for a final showdown long ago. After all, I can only live peacefully once the threat is eliminated.
"Hanbing Yun, why don’t you send more people after ? Send one, I’ll capture one. Send two, I’ll capture a pair. Better yet, send a Golden Core Realm master. That would be perfect," Zhang Bin muttered, a sinister smile spreading across his face. "As soon as I reach the Great Perfection of the Liquid State and I’m confident I can kill you and move freely through the Capital City, I’ll be coming for you. I won’t hesitate to snuff you out, you venomous flower."
Imdiately after, he began harvesting Spirit Stones while making his way back. Night had already fallen.
His pets, however, were busy searching for various plants, digging them up to bring back with them. This was, of course, on Zhang Bin’s orders. From now on, he intended to thoroughly test the dicinal properties of all plants on Earth. He needed to find herbs with the sa properties listed in the recipe for the Evergreen Pill so he could concoct it himself. Moreover, he could also develop drugs to cure terminal diseases, which would undoubtedly earn him a fortune. He was, after all, in debt for 3 billion USD. Plus, next year he planned to attend the Hero Auction to purchase Spiritual dicine and other cultivation resources, all of which required substantial wealth. So, working hard to earn money was the right move.
By the ti he returned to Mantou Ridge, it was already past eleven at night.
He had no plans to spend the night at the villa down the mountain; the two beauties couldn’t withstand his vigor. Nowadays, even Liu Ruolan no longer asked where he was spending his nights. Her worries had long since faded, as Liu Ruoi had told her that she was now Chen Junheng’s girlfriend. She explained they had hugged and kissed, and she had fallen deeply in love with him.
So, after bathing thoroughly in the stream and disguising himself as Chen Junheng, he returned to Mantou Ridge.
He slipped into the villa silently and went straight to Liu Ruoi’s room, where he knocked gently on the door.
KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK...
"Who is it..." Liu Ruoi’s sowhat panicked voice ca from inside.
"Little bunny, little bunny, open the door. Your sweetheart is here," Zhang Bin whispered, his voice low with a mischievous grin.
"I won’t open the door! You should leave," she snapped.
Inside the room, Liu Ruoi’s pretty face turned crimson, and she was tense to the extre. She even scrambled to move a stool to barricade the door, as if afraid the man outside would break in.
"Why not? I’ve crossed mountains and rivers to see you, and you won’t even open the door?" Zhang Bin asked, feigning astonishnt.
"You’re just trying to do bad things! Not a chance," Liu Ruoi retorted coyly. "You’re not allowed to co at night. You can co during the day. Also, the New Year is almost here, so you have to co with to et my grandparents and parents. Only if they approve will I truly be your girlfriend."
"Visit your parents and grandfather? Of course, that’s the proper thing to do. I’ll certainly pay them a visit for the New Year," Zhang Bin said. "Now, why don’t you open the door so we can discuss it properly?"
"Dream on if you think you can trick into opening this door," Liu Ruoi said warily.
I know it clear as day, she thought anxiously. Once this "Chen Junheng" gets in here, I’ll have no power to resist. He’ll eat alive, leaving not even the bones. I haven’t made up my mind yet... Is this even right? This is obviously just self-deception. What will my sister think when she finds out?
"You think a little door can stop ?" A wicked smile spread across Zhang Bin’s face.
"This is my brother-in-law’s villa! Do you dare break down the door? My sister and brother-in-law would be furious and heartbroken. You’d be in for it then!" Liu Ruoi said with feigned anger. Her implication was clear: This is your own villa, wouldn’t you feel the pinch if you broke your own door?
"I’m not going to break down the door. I’ll just co through the wall," Zhang Bin said with a sinister chuckle.
"Are you going to punch a hole in the wall? You’ll be even more dood then!" Liu Ruoi said, exasperated.
"Hehe, just keep your eyes peeled and watch how I get in. I’m coming in now," Zhang Bin boasted. With that, he walked straight through the wall.
Instantly, he appeared inside the room.
Liu Ruoi froze as if struck by lightning, her face a mask of utter shock and disbelief. She rubbed her eyes and looked again, but it was true—he had actually passed through the wall and was now standing before her with a sly grin. Only then did she accept that it was real. "Chen Junheng," she stamred, "h-how on earth did you do that?"
"Hehe... It’s a special ability. I can pass through any wall and go anywhere I want. It’s a new ability I developed through arduous cultivation," Zhang Bin said with an evil smile.
"It’s over... It’s all over," Liu Ruoi lanted, her face filled with sorrow. "Countless beautiful won are dood to fall victim to a scoundrel like you..."
