Chapter 151: The Bitch

Darkness.

In the darkness, there is moaning and gasping...

Then, all sound falls into silence.

After a very, very long time, a woman's voice says softly, "Sometimes I can't help but want to ask you one thing."

This voice is sweet and tender; if a man wishes to resist the seductive charm of such a voice, he can only become deaf.

And perhaps there is only one woman in the world who can have such a voice.

—Lin Xian'er.

A man's voice says, "Why don't you ask?"

This man's voice is also very peculiar, as if it comes from a very distant place, yet also as if it is right beside one's ear. But this voice is deep, steady, and the words spoken can cause the wind and clouds to change color.

—Shangguan Jinhong.

The most terrifying man and the most terrifying woman are lying on one bed, and it seems they have even engaged in some sort of unspeakable relationship.

Lin Xian'er says, "Are you actually a person? Or are you made of Iron?"

Shangguan Jinhong says, "Can you not feel it?"

Lin Xian'er's voice is even sweeter and more tender: "If you really were a person, why would you never get tired?"

Shangguan Jinhong lets out a cold snort.

This cold snort also seems to contain a sense of pride.

A man not getting tired in such matters seems to be something he should be quite proud of.

The room is very dark, but outside the room, there is light.

Faint starlight.

Under the starlight stands a person, keeping watch outside the room.

A pair of ash-gray eyes gaze blankly into the distance, and the whole person looks as if he were carved from a piece of gray stone.

But now, there is an indescribable pain in these eyes.

He simply cannot describe this pain.

If Afei were here, perhaps he would discover that Jing Wuming's pain seems very similar to what he once felt.

Afei must endure pain.

Jing Wuming is the same.

Because his life, and even his soul, belong to Shangguan Jinhong.

Then?

Is his current pain because of Lin Xian'er?

Or because of Shangguan Jinhong?

Just at this moment, a man in green robes walks up quickly and whispers a few words into Jing Wuming's ear.

On Jing Wuming's rock-like, stern face, a look of being moved also appears.

He turns around and knocks on the door.

He knocks five times.

Three heavy, two light.

And inside the room, Lin Xian'er is completely naked.

She wants to make Shangguan Jinhong obsessed with her at all costs; she once again wraps her delicate body around Shangguan Jinhong.

After Afei was taken away by Yu Liancheng, Lin Xian'er had already nearly collapsed.

Afei and Shangguan Fei were the two men she valued most, yet both have left her.

Especially Shangguan Fei; he is dead, and the Money Gang will certainly not let it go.

Even if she did not kill Shangguan Fei, the Money Gang will still vent their fury upon her.

If it were someone else, perhaps they would have run as far away as possible by now.

But Lin Xian'er did not.

She first buried Shangguan Fei's corpse, then entertained Shangguan Fei's trusted aides with her body.

No one complained about this kind of entertainment, and under this entertainment, Lin Xian'er learned that the news of Shangguan Fei coming to her was actually only known to those few trusted aides.

With this, Lin Xian'er felt much more at ease.

She disposed of those few trusted aides, then personally sought out Shangguan Jinhong.

Shangguan Jinhong is also a man, and Lin Xian'er is most skilled at serving men.

Furthermore, Lin Xian'er also has a lot of Golden Coin; the Money Gang needs Golden Coin, so the two of them slept on the same bed.

Now, Lin Xian'er has the pleasure of conquest once again.

Because the person she has conquered this time is Shangguan Jinhong, the Gang Leader of the number one gang in the world, and a supreme expert ranked second in the Weapon Manual.

She has resolved to hold this man firmly in the palm of her hand.

Just like Afei.

And just at this moment, the sound of knocking on the door rings out.

Three heavy, two short.

Lin Xian'er is still clinging to Shangguan Jinhong.

But Shangguan Jinhong suddenly rises, throws Lin Xian'er heavily onto the bed, quickly puts on his clothes, and strides out, not showing the slightest bit of lingering attachment.

"You... you..." Lin Xian'er is stunned.

But Shangguan Jinhong had already pushed open the door and strode out.

The door was not closed; if anyone were to glance inside, they would immediately see Lin Xian'er's fair, naked body.

If Shangguan Jinhong truly liked Lin Xian'er, would he be so indifferent to letting others see her body?

Lin Xian'er's body had stiffened.

The expression on her face was neither sorrow nor anger, but fear.

Was it because she knew she could not control this man at all?

When the muscles in her limbs regained their softness, she slowly put on her clothes one by one, revealed her sweetest smile, and swayed with the most moving posture.

She was determined to try one more time.

Just as she had dealt with Yu Liancheng in the beginning.

When Lin Xian'er walked to the main hall, she saw Shangguan Jinhong, and also saw Jing Wuming, the 'Wind and Rain Twin Meteors' Xiang Song, and other high-ranking members of the Money Gang.

The atmosphere at the scene was unusually dull and oppressive.

Because there was a coffin placed in the hall.

A brand-new fine wood coffin, the paint seemingly not yet dry.

The coffin lid was not nailed shut; it had already been lifted.

There was a dead person in the coffin.

This dead person was none other than Shangguan Jinhong's only son, Shangguan Fei.

The corpse had been washed very clean, dressed in brand-new burial clothes, and not a single bloodstain could be seen.

There was only one wound.

The wound was at the throat, five fen deep.

Shangguan Jinhong was looking at his son.

His face seemed to still have no expression; he did not frown, and the corners of his mouth did not twitch.

But for some reason, his entire person seemed to have changed into another face, wearing an iron-blue mask, appearing gloomy and terrifying.

The main hall was filled with big shots who could summon wind and rain in the pugilistic world, but in this oppressive environment, no one dared to breathe deeply.

Shangguan Jinhong was silent for a long time, his mask seeming to grow thicker and thicker, and he suddenly said: "Who sent the coffin?"

The 'Wind and Rain Twin Meteors' Xiang Song stepped forward two paces and lowered his body: "It was sent by the two brothers, 'Flying Monkey' Zhang Ji and 'Plumed Swallow' Zhang Song. They were originally looking for trouble with Yu Liancheng, but they have both been subdued by Guo Songyang."

Guo Songyang had already been defeated by Yu Liancheng and had become Yu Liancheng's bodyguard and henchman.

And Yu Liancheng and Shangguan Jinhong already had an irreconcilable conflict.

This was a matter known to all in the pugilistic world.

So this matter was, of course, instigated by Yu Liancheng.

"They also sent a letter."

"Present it."

The envelope was quickly torn open, and written on it was: Three days later, this Yu will come to pay a visit. I sincerely hope Brother Shangguan will wash your neck in preparation. I present you with a sword, to meet you in the Nine Springs.

There were not many words on the letter.

But Shangguan Jinhong looked at it for a long time, even longer than he had looked at his son's corpse, as if it contained some unspeakable Xuanji.

He did not move.

Others naturally could not move either.

He did not speak.

Others naturally dared not speak either.

Thus, in this headquarters of the Money Gang, it fell into an unspeakable silence.

It is unknown how much time passed, but Shangguan Jinhong suddenly spoke: "In Six Absolutes Manor, is there another expert?"

Xiang Song said: "I was just about to report to the Gang Leader; the young swordsman Afei, who became famous in the pugilistic world over half a year ago, has also appeared in Six Absolutes Manor, though he seems to be injured."

"Afei." Shangguan Jinhong lowered his brows and turned his head sharply to look at Jing Wuming: "Afei has come to deal with you."

Jing Wuming's expression was indifferent, and he only let out a snort from his nostrils.

Shangguan Jinhong seemed to have anticipated his reaction, and as if talking to himself, he said: "You and I, the ring and the sword, there is no one in the world who can defeat us. So Yu Liancheng wants to find a helper; last time it was Guo Songyang, this time it is Afei."

He paused again and added: "The helpers Yu Liancheng wants to find could actually be many: Guo Songyang, Li Xunhuan, Tianji Laoren... but these people are all top-tier experts; they could never completely submit to another person."

"But you and Afei are different; you almost don't practice martial arts, you only know how to kill. You can be led by another strong person, becoming shadows, becoming puppets, forming the best combination."

Jing Wuming finally spoke, his voice still indifferent: "But he is no match for me!"

Afei had been decadent for over half a year, while Jing Wuming had risen during these past six months, and the number of experts who had died by his hand was unknown; he had this confidence.

"I believe you!" Shangguan Jinhong nodded: "What's more, they haven't been working together for long, while you and I have long since achieved Heavenly Human communion, our Qi and intent unified; there is absolutely no one who can defeat our combined strength."

Suddenly, Shangguan Jinhong turned his head and looked at Lin Xian'er: "You lived with Afei for over half a year before."

Lin Xian'er knew she could not lie at this moment, and she absolutely dared not lie: "Yes."

Shangguan Jinhong said: "He likes you very much?"

Lin Xian'er said: "Yes."

Shangguan Jinhong said: "Good, I want you to seduce him. Whether you succeed or not, at least it can make his heart more chaotic."

Lin Xian'er bit her lip, biting it very hard: "But I... but I am already your woman..."

She walked over with a smile, went to Shangguan Jinhong's side, and gently stroked his broad chest.

She smiled so sweetly, her movements so gentle.

Shangguan Jinhong, however, did not even glance at her, suddenly raised his hand, and slapped her across the face: "You are not my woman, you are just a whore. I can have you, others can, and naturally, Afei can too."

In reality, upon hearing Afei's name, Shangguan Jinhong knew that Lin Xian'er was involved in his son's death. But he would not concern himself with such things at this moment; he only wanted to make the best use of everything.

After saying this, Shangguan Jinhong turned and left, Jing Wuming followed closely in his footsteps, and the remaining high-ranking members of the Money Gang also withdrew one by one.

Only Lin Xian'er remained.

She was slapped to the ground by Shangguan Jinhong.

She looked so frail, so pitiful.

But for some reason, Lin Xian'er no longer resembled a fairy upon the clouds; instead, she was like a dog rolling in the mud, a bitch.
