We can’t stay in Yuzhou for long.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were words he kept to himself. With your current ghostly appearance—gray, dirty braids, big earrings, heavy makeup, and scanty clothing—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>even the gangsters couldn’t be bothered with you, let alone boys from small towns like Jiang Ning, who would steer clear and avoid you altogether.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Zishan said earnestly, “It’s precisely because we can’t stay long that I can’t afford to leave with any regrets.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Old City, a dilapidated two-story house with an old courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the bedroom, Brother Cheng was using cotton balls and iodine to wipe his wounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Occasionally, when he touched the deeper cuts, the pain would make him hiss in distress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t just him; Xiao Wang with his dark face, Yellow Hair, and the gloomy young man were all there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brother Cheng often got into fights, so there was a good stock of medical supplies for wound dressing at home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere in the room was so cold and intimidating it was terrifying, almost like it had solidified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Cheng, I’ve said it before, and I’ll stand by it to the end, whatever you do,” Xiao Wang’s face twisted, consumed by hatred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gloomy man remained silent; an individualist who acted with no regard for consequences, his audacity with a steel spike revealed his character.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back in junior high, he had blinded someone and his family had to pay a hefty sum in compensation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Yellow Hair, he said, “Brother Cheng, we should get some lime powder and try a surprise attack. No matter how tough he is, it won’t matter. Later we can bag him, gouge out his eyes, then castrate him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His words were incredibly cruel, devoid of any humanity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brother Cheng’s expression shifted uncertainly; he thought of the girl at the barbecue stand, her beauty and figure that he could never touch in his lifetime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He made up his mind, “Let’s not mess with that guy first. Let’s start with that girl. Xiao Wang, you scope her out. She must be a student. Find out her route home from school.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Wang said, “Okay, I’ll look into it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Once it’s done, I’m in,” Brother Cheng said with a poker face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others paused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you guys in? Together?” Brother Cheng added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Wang said, “I’m in, but what if she talks afterward?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brother Cheng said coldly, “We’ll take photos, record videos. You think she’d dare speak up?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just the thought of blackmailing her with the video and threatening such a beautiful girl whenever he wanted left Brother Cheng’s throat dry, and his wounds felt less painful than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he grew tired of her, he could force her to make money. With her looks, there would surely be many willing to pay her a visit. Wouldn’t she earn way more than selling goods in the countryside?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And when the time came, he could capture the man who had hit them today and have him witness it all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right, there was also that little girl… Brother Cheng’s expression was cruel beyond measure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group discussed the details in a frenzy of extreme emotions, completely losing their humanity and reduced to primal desires.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiao Wang, go scope it out tomorrow morning, and I’ll handle the lime powder,” Brother Cheng decided with a final smack of his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the room door burst open with a loud bang, the thick wooden door exploding into pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Wang was struck by the splintered wood, his cries of pain echoing shrilly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brother Cheng looked toward the door, grabbed the short knife by the window, and yelled, “Who’s there?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he saw a figure shrouded in black clothes, face hidden under a wide-brimmed hat, standing in the broken doorway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The figure was silent and motionless; Brother Cheng felt a shudder in his heart, sensing something peculiar about the figure, not quite human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next second, the figure raised a bucket-shaped container and threw a large amount of liquid at them. The four men couldn’t dodge in time and were drenched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brother Cheng detected a pungent smell and instantly realized,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gasoline!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last image he saw was a glittering, golden rectangular paper spontaneously igniting without wind. Before touching the ground, it was already half burnt and, in a flash, set the entirety of the room ablaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mountain bike stopped at the entrance to the gaming arcade, Jiang Ning applied the brakes, his smile warm,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tongtong, come on, let’s play some arcade games.”\u003C\u002Fp>",770,"2026-05-30T14:40:02.885Z","2026-06-01T04:31:29.709Z",1,"novelbin.me","0c8ce76031417e33014dcfc633d6b0a0bf300bdb747189eea31a1c42a88e473b","rebirth-slice-of-life-cultivation-chapter-685","rebirth-slice-of-life-cultivation-chapter-683",1809,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Frebirth-slice-of-life-cultivation-cover.jpg"]
