Chapter 76: Chapter Seventy-Three: Killing and Overstepping

Don't worry, my injury is fine; it'll heal soon.

Su Qing sat on the sofa, watching Lu Si tearfully gently rubbing his wound nearby, and comforted: "Rest assured! Even the scar won't remain later."

"Really? Su, are you really the legendary Blood Clan?" Lu Si lifted her head, eyes full of curiosity.

"Yes, Selinna already told you, didn't she?"

"I remember the Blood Clan fears sunlight, but I recall you also go out during the day?"

"I'm different."

"……"

On the other sofa, Selinna watched the two lovey-dovey people opposite, unconsciously clenching her fists, recalling just now: she herself, worried and confused, forgot that Su Qing was also a vampire; ordinary swords could hardly kill him, otherwise……

Shaking her head, Selinna relaxed her fist, gathered her thoughts, turned her head and continued chatting with Diana.

Actually it wasn't really chatting; just Diana asked her, and she merely recounted.

Even now she still finds it hard to believe that the legendary god-king Zeus actually exists.

"You've always lived on Paradise Island; don't you find it boring?"

"No way." Diana shook her head innocently, "Living on Paradise Island, everyone is free and happy; how could it be boring!"

"Paradise Island really is a miraculous place……" Selinna's eyes flashed with a strange light; she thought, I really want to go see it.

Coincidentally, Su Qing came up beside them, hearing the conversation, sat directly next to Selinna, grabbed her small hand and said: "Selinna, you want to go; when Diana returns next time, you can follow her to have a look and stay for a while."

Hearing his words, Selinna thought it over, but still shook her head and refused: "Forget it; the Blood Clan and Wolf Clan are still at war, I can't spare the time."

Saying this, she glanced at Su Qing and said: "I'll be heading back in a few days."

"How can it be so fast? I just got back!" Su Qing frowned, feeling reluctant to part with Selinna; it was genuine reluctance, not pretended.

Calculating, they hadn't seen each other for about a year and a half.

Now that they've rare gathered together, naturally they wanted Selinna to stay a bit longer.

Selinna said: "The war is at a critical juncture; being outside for two months is already my limit."

Seeing her say that, Su Qing didn't say anything else.

In the following days, Su Qing accompanied Selinna every day; by day he took her around to play and enjoy the green forest scenery; by night he sweated profusely taking her from heaven to earth.

In short, one word: wholeheartedly serve her.

Although this indirectly neglected Lu Si and Diana, fortunately both women were understanding, bore no complaints, and often made plans to go out together, each outing lasting a whole day.

Su Qing was busy with Selinna, but hadn't forgotten the two; after inquiring, he learned they couldn't stay idle, so they jointly enrolled in a class to learn to fly aircraft and handle firearms.

Regarding this, Su Qing naturally had no reason to stop them; instead, he strongly supported learning whatever they wanted.

That night, which was the sixth day since returning to New York, Selinna decided to depart the next day for Hungary.

Although preparations were already made, Su Qing was still reluctant; that night he mustered his strength and spent an all-nighter with Selinna.

The next day daytime was naturally a halftime break; at night they continued the final showdown, but if it weren't for thinking they had to rise early the next morning, Su Qing would still have dragged Selinna into another all-nighter.

Time quietly passed, third morning arrived.

"Wu……"

The deafening whistle echoed throughout Pier 54.

After another glance at the receding ship silhouette, Su Qing turned and led Lu Si and Diana away.

After Selinna left, Su Qing properly accompanied Lu Si and Diana for five days before attending to the oil field matters.

Actually this matter isn't complicated; it can be said to be very simple.

Roughly, Su Qing hired a fishing boat and went out, with no news for four consecutive months; some wealthy people in Mei Jian then got the idea, wanting to cheaply buy the Arkansas oil field to make a big profit.

However, they didn't expect that Lu Si, who looked weak and easy to bully, but had an unyielding character, would directly pull out the connections Su Qing left behind and confront them head-on.

Speaking of this, Su Qing felt a surge of anger; many of the wealthy schemers targeting his oil field this time had once received his life-saving grace.

At the banquet earlier, they all slapped their chests purple, vowing to repay his life-saving grace; now that he's been gone half a year with no news, they turn against him to plot his oil field—truly a bunch of wolf-hearted, dog-lunged trash.

Afterward, Selinna learned of Su Qing's deeds through newspapers, also knew he had acquired a woman beside him, and naturally couldn't stay put; she took a ship over to check on his post.

Upon arriving in Mei Jian, she immediately caught up with the oil field affair; she went straight to the door, revealed her identity to Lu Si, and then killed four wealthy people in a month, terrifying those wealthy folks' courage, temporarily halting the purchase of the Arkansas oil field.

"Damn it, since I can save you, I can kill you." Picking up the list Selinna handed him before leaving, Su Qing's eyes flashed with a hint of killing intent.

"………………"

"Hey, good morning, Mr. Su."

"Morning……"

Su Qing walked on Wall Street in New York; passersby constantly greeted him.

He returned each greeting with a smile.

It has already been three months since Selinna's departure.

During this period, Su Qing went on a killing spree, sending everyone on the list—whether wealthy or noble—straight to hell.

Such conduct directly caused the situation in Mei Jian to become tumultuous; pedestrians on the road all felt endangered, nearly prompting troops to be stationed in New York.

Fortunately, Su Qing finished killing those he intended to, stopped in time, and thus Mei Jian regained peace once more.

And with the wealthy's obstruction removed, the Arkansas oil field resumed production and sales.

"Sir, we've arrived."

The coachman's voice broke his train of thought; Su Qing came to, stepped down from the carriage, paid the fare, and entered the gate.

Just as he entered the door, he saw Diana and Lu Si grappling with their hands.

The two fought with proper form, but Su Qing knew Diana had let loose a Pacific Ocean.

Two months earlier, after Lu Si learned Diana's warrior identity, she kept pestering Diana to learn combat.

Diana didn't refuse and began teaching her.

However, Lu Si lacked talent in this area; after two months of study she was still a feeble chick with combat power under five.

Clap-clap!

Su Qing clapped his hands, stepped forward and said: "Wait a moment, I have something to tell you."

"What's the matter?" Dai Anna sheathed her blade, walked over and asked curiously.

Lu Si also stood at the side, her gaze similarly asking: "What's the matter?"

"I have something to take care of and need to go out for a trip." Su Qing thought for a moment and said: "This time I'm not sure how long, but it won't exceed two years."

"What? I won't agree." Lu Si, having the previous experience, was very resistant, stepped forward and grabbed Su Qing's clothes, refusing to let go.

"……" Dai Anna looked at Lu Si, also reluctant in her eyes.

"Be good, this time I'm going out on official business; I promise to return within two years."

Su Qing stroked Lu Si's face, then followed with a round of soft and hard persuasion, and only after staying up two whole nights did he manage to get her reluctant agreement.

As for Dai Anna, it was simple: she was stronger than ordinary people imagined, and just after four all-nighters she agreed.

After that, there's nothing much to say. After comforting the two women, Su Qing quietly left, without taking a vehicle or riding a horse, but instead walked into an old house in the suburbs of Niu Yue.

The house wasn't large, only a few dozen square meters, and it was purchased secretly by Su Qing.

Creak!

The door opened with an unpleasant sound; Su Qing entered the house, closed and locked the door, then went to the basement.

The basement had been converted into a steel gate; once locked from the inside, it could not be opened from outside.

Click!

After closing the iron door, Su Qing stood in the center of the basement, took a deep breath, and summoned a light curtain.

Connected equipment: none

Download task: Transcend Boundary (unique) 11% (activated)……

Completed task: …… omitted

Installation log: …… omitted

'Activated', on the light curtain, the three characters shone with splendid light.

On Paradise Island, this 'Transcend Boundary'—whether a skill or something else—had already revealed its true form and displayed as activated.

Back then, due to his bloodline, he didn't move rashly; now that everything is settled, it's also time to test it out.

He didn't know what would happen if he clicked the three characters 'Activated', but he still moved his thoughts and lightly landed on the three characters 'Activated'.

The next second……

Nothing happened!

Su Qing stood in place, silent for two seconds, then suddenly felt that perhaps he had overthought it.

Shaking his head, he gathered his thoughts and prepared to go home.

But as soon as he stepped out, an abrupt change occurred; looking back, he found himself in a strange place.

Looking up, the floating fluff resembled goose feathers, filling the sky and covering the earth; the surroundings were a vast expanse of white, with not a hint of green.

Standing in this icy snowy landscape, Su Qing stood dazed for a moment, his mind still muddled.

Could this be the legendary saying: one step to heaven, one step to hell!
