You can’t cure me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just try—it won’t cost you anything,” Chu Danqing urged again. Saving a life is better than building seven tiers of pagodas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t know who Sun Dashou had been before, but his current demeanor was steady and diligent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, but no trouble needed—I understand my situation well,” Sun Dashou said now, feeling unusually at ease within the Dragon and Phoenix Inn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even reduced to sweeping and menial labor, he was far happier than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people around him weren’t pretending respect—they genuinely cared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright,” Chu Danqing said. He’d offered twice; if the man refused, he wouldn’t press further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He respected the man’s choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He exchanged a few more words with Sun Dashou, but the serving boy turned pale upon seeing him sweep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew Sun Dashou’s true condition, so he sprinted over and snatched the broom away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your wounds aren’t healed yet—why are you on your feet?” the serving boy fumed. “If Master Li sees you like this, he’ll scold you again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His anger stemmed from Sun Dashou’s recklessness—what if he collapsed and died in the main hall?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long lecture, he escorted Sun Dashou back to the rear quarters to rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boy, take this letter to Yun Mansion on the next street,” Chu Danqing said, writing out a formal invitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rest assured, I’ll deliver it,” the serving boy replied. He’d never done this before, but he knew where Yun Mansion was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t rush off—I haven’t paid you yet,” Chu Danqing grabbed him and handed over a tip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sum was small, but generous for a serving boy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can’t expect a horse to run hard without feeding it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boy was delighted—his whole demeanor changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He returned shortly, panting heavily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, I delivered the letter,” he said. Having been paid, he’d specifically warned the gatekeeper that Chu Danqing and Yang Qianyuan were no ordinary men and must be treated with utmost respect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you,” Chu Danqing replied politely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around nine in the morning, Chu Danqing received Yun Mansion’s reply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They would host a banquet for him that evening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The formalities had been properly observed, and the invitation’s appearance was clearly beyond ordinary means—hence Yun Mansion’s attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing adjusted his conduct differently depending on the person’s status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t rigidly copy one approach, especially since he needed their help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Proper etiquette could not be neglected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By afternoon, he informed Li Wanwu they were visiting Yun Mansion and asked if she wished to come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Mansion was a wealthy household—the food would surely be exceptional; a free meal wasn’t worth passing up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Wanwu was astonished—she hadn’t expected Chu Danqing to become a guest of Yun Mansion after only one day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she knew her own position and declined outright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing and Yang Qianyuan had business with Yun Mansion—her presence might ruin it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Li Wanwu refused, Chu Danqing didn’t insist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He selected a small gift from his storage space—something that looked precious but was in fact a modern industrial artwork—and set off to pay his visit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Shan, head of Yun Mansion, personally received them. After introductions and pleasantries, they took their seats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the conversation flowed, Chu Danqing prepared to ask about purchasing the Tongxin Lotus seed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then a Yun Mansion servant rushed in, whispering urgently into Yun Shan’s ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Shan’s face darkened instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Forgive me, gentlemen—I must attend to something,” Yun Shan said, rising and leaving the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing had no time to ask if help was needed—the man was already gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s going on?” Chu Danqing asked Yang Qianyuan beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I just used Celestial Divination to glimpse a minor calamity—Yun Mansion can handle it,” Yang Qianyuan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, chaos erupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the commotion grew louder, escalating rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go see,” Chu Danqing rose decisively and headed toward the noise with Yang Qianyuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They moved swiftly and arrived at the scene quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first sight was scattered retainers and Yun Shan lying wounded on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A clean-shaven middle-aged man fought a retainer dressed in servant’s garb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Blood Palm and Sky-White Python,” Yang Qianyuan recognized the spirit beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man’s spirit beast was unusual—dual-affinity, both Armament and Blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, his hands were sheathed in grotesque armored gauntlets, and blood aura swirled around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The retainer, aided by a pure white serpent, was still outmatched, steadily pushed back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you alright, Master Yun?” Chu Danqing helped Yun Shan up and had Bai Long heal him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Long stared fixedly at the Sky-White Python—after all, it was a white snake, resembling his own kind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man struck down the retainer and sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tang Ziwei, His Royal Highness Prince Ning summoned you—you feign madness to hide here as a servant? Hmph.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clearly recognized the retainer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Black Ink Demon, you strut freely through the streets even after Prince Ning’s summons—I’d rather be a servant than his advisor,” Tang Ziwei retreated several steps to steady himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Chu Danqing realized he’d activated a side quest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Side Quest: Kill Black Ink Demon within 1 hour】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Trial Difficulty: B-Rank (Brave）】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Reward: Paradise Points ×5000, Attribute Points +3】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Failure Penalty: Paradise Points -10000】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Difficulty was low—B-Rank.

Prince Ning is benevolent. I, Black Ink, won’t hold back.” The man spat and turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Chu Danqing had accepted the quest—how could he just let him walk away? Where would his ten thousand Paradise Points go?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since you’ve come, stay awhile,” Chu Danqing said. Da Bao activated Tearing Claws, becoming a crimson blur as he lunged at Black Ink Demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black Ink Demon’s strength was comparable to the Blood Demon Nightlord’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since he had no Nightlord soldiers or generals assisting him, and was alone, the quest difficulty remained B-Rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had they only faced Non-Monk and the Blood Demon Nightlord, it wouldn’t have reached A-Rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A mere—” Black Ink Demon sensed Da Bao’s attack and spun to meet it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Blood Palm gauntlets clashed with Da Bao’s claws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next instant, the claws sank into the gauntlets—if he hadn’t reacted instantly and activated Blood Palm’s defense, the claws would have pierced his skin and buried into his flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, deep claw marks remained on his skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You—” Black Ink Demon opened his mouth to speak, but Da Bao didn’t tolerate him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Da Bao’s five claws were trapped in the Blood Palm gauntlets, he still had his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His feet bore claws too—though he rarely used them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He mimicked a kangaroo and delivered a powerful kick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black Ink Demon’s scalp prickled—he immediately released the Blood Palm defense and retreated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he was too slow—Da Bao’s foot-claws ripped ten gaping holes through his chest garment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Black Ink Demon had no time to care—he turned and fled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had he retreated slower, the foot-claws would have split his torso open on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Da Bao was no longer the one from the rear mountain of Xuan Yuan Temple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With 30 attribute points, skill levels, and 3% bloodline concentration, his power wasn’t just improved—it was incomparable to before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Black Ink Demon could take two steps, Da Bao caught up and drove his claws straight through his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Blood Palm gauntlets were seized and crushed into a ball by Da Bao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Fine-quality treasure chest floated from the corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing sighed—why did it always end so quickly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be wonderful if one could accumulate it all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the quest, it has been completed simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Quest completed.
