It was clear that Lin Xi's recent verbal assault on Ghost Master had already brought about the Big Landlord's displeasure.
"As guests, I welco your arrival, but I also ask you to show us respect," the Big Landlord said indifferently before turning and walking towards the cabin.
Lin Xi opened her mouth as if she wanted to say sothing, but Su Chen stopped her with a look.
At this point, reasoning was futile.
They needed evidence and to let the facts speak for themselves.
The fact that the Big Landlord forbade him from treating those people didn't an he couldn't go on his own.
After the Big Landlord and his entourage had gone to sleep, two stealthy figures crept towards the room where the sick lay.
"Damn it, slow down, I can't see!" a slightly annoyed voice whispered.
It was only then that Su Chen rembered that Lin Xi's eyesight wasn't as good as his; he quickly turned around and said, "Wife, why don't you hold onto my clothes."
"Oh, okay." Lin Xi reached out and grabbed at sothing in the darkness.
Then, Su Chen inhaled sharply.
"I've got it!" Lin Xi squeezed again, feeling quite secure.
Unable to help himself, Su Chen swallowed, "Um, wife, are you sure what you're holding is my clothes...?"
"It seems... not." Lin Xi pinched again, realizing she might have gotten a hold of Su Chen's flesh.
"Sorry, I didn't an to," she apologized.
"It's fine..." If it weren't for Lin Xi grabbing him like that, making it impossible for him to walk, he would have said that her grip was just right...
Su Chen stretched out his hand and actively took the beautiful CEO's delicate hand.
Lin Xi's hand was small and exquisite, with slender fingers that were soft and smooth; his larger hand could almost completely envelop hers.
And so, Su Chen led Lin Xi by the hand, moving forward in the darkness.
"Wife, if you're scared, I can go alone," said Su Chen, feeling Lin Xi's hand beco slightly cold and trembling. That's when he rembered that Lin Xi seed to have a fear of darkness.
"I-I'm not scared," a voice replied, slightly quivering with a hint of forced bravery.
In reality, Lin Xi was indeed scared, but to save Huo i, she had to overco her fears.
And being held by Su Chen, feeling the warmth from his palm, sohow made her feel less fearful.
Su Chen led the way with Lin Xi following. Suddenly, Su Chen stopped.
Imdiately, Lin Xi unintentionally bumped into Su Chen's back.
"You..." Lin Xi was about to scold Su Chen for stopping so abruptly.
But a hand covered her mouth.
"Shh," Su Chen whispered into Lin Xi's ear.
Lin Xi then saw Ado coming out of the room.
Seemingly needing to use the restroom.
The girl walked by them in a daze, not noticing them at all.
Only after the girl had returned from the restroom did the pair continue forward.
Finally, the two arrived inside the sick ward.
There were five or six people lying in the ward, groaning in pain.
Approaching one of them, Su Chen took the person's hand to check the pulse.
The hand was small and slender, with very smooth skin.
Turned out, it was a girl.
But monts later, Su Chen's expression drastically changed.
He jerked his head back!
A streak of silver flashed by his face.
With a 'puff', it struck the wooden wall.
It was a silver needle.
If he hadn't dodged quickly, he might have been hit.
Then, the patient on the sickbed sprang up, holding a silver needle in hand, and stabbed towards several major acupoints on Su Chen's body.
Su Chen imdiately retreated explosively to avoid the attack.
Those few needles were aid at particularly vicious acupoints; if truly hit, he might have instantly lost the ability to resist.
However, the assailant did not continue pursuing but flashed towards Lin Xi instead.
Su Chen had not expected the assailant's martial prowess to be so formidable — at least a Transcendent level expert.
Just as he was about to rush to Lin Xi's rescue, there was a snapping sound.
The lights in the room were turned on.
Then, they saw the Big Landlord with a silver needle aiming at one of Lin Xi's acupoints, waiting with an icy expression on her face.
Su Chen was imdiately horrified and blurted out, "Big Landlord, please show rcy!"
By that ti, seven or eight silver needles had already pierced Lin Xi's body, and her large eyes were filled with terror.
How could Su Chen not understand this type of acupuncture?
If the Big Landlord were to let this last needle go, Lin Xi would...
With a grim face, the Big Landlord said, "I told you to show us respect, but you didn't listen to ."
Having said that, he thrust the last silver needle directly into one of Lin Xi's acupoints!
"No!" Su Chen was too far away to prevent the Big Landlord.
"Hmph!" The Big Landlord snorted coldly and then, waving his sleeves, left the wooden house.
Lin Xi gave Su Chen a glance, and her body slowly slumped down.
Su Chen quickly caught Lin Xi, then ran towards his own room.
"Su Chen, I, will I not die?" Lin Xi lay flat on the bed in Su Chen's room, her body shaking violently.
"You won't!" Su Chen held Lin Xi's small hand and said with a heartache, knowing what she was enduring.
"But, it hurts so much... I can't take it anymore!" Lin Xi shivered even more intensely, her pretty face becoming contorted.
She felt as if a hundred needles were piercing her body, an unspeakable agony.
"Honey, you must hold on, you'll be fine after a few hours!"
Su Chen was not deceiving Lin Xi; the acupuncture thod used by the Big Landlord was not lethal.
That technique was known as the Separating Muscle And Bone Needle.
The na alone was terrifying enough.
It shared the sinister genius of the Bone Separation Hand.
However, one acted on the body's muscles, while the other directly affected the nerves.
Su Chen was anxious.
The horror of this acupuncture technique was that there was no antidote.
Since it directly affected the nerves, even if Su Chen wanted to block Lin Xi's sense of pain, it was impossible.
Moreover, through the entire process, the victim remained conscious; passing out was not an option.
But as long as one endured for several hours, the effect would subside, and it wouldn't cause any damage to the body.
Yet, even the toughest n, struck by the Separating Muscle And Bone Needle, might not endure it, let alone the delicate female CEO.
"I'm sorry, honey, I failed to protect you!" Su Chen was extrely remorseful.
He should not have brought Lin Xi with him.
Fortunately, the Big Landlord had only used the Separating Muscle And Bone Needle, rather than so other lethal technique.
Otherwise...
Just thinking about it made Su Chen break out in cold sweat.
"Ah, Su Chen, I'm in so much pain, I don't want to live anymore!"
Indeed, Lin Xi could not bear the bone-piercing pain and wished for death.
Seeing Lin Xi in such agony that her whole body was convulsing, Su Chen, heartbroken, said, "Honey, if you really can't hold on, I have a thod that can lessen your pain..."
