Chapter 512: Shameless!
Chapter 512: Shameless!
"Little Sister Caiwei, it's so good to see you're alright. I was worried something had happened to you!"
At that moment, Bu Chen came running back while panting heavily. He looked extremely anxious and continued with his sweet words while trying to deceive Wang Caiwei.
"You dare to come back?"
Wang Tianlin's eyebrows almost stood upright, his body filled with murderous intent. This scoundrel had pushed Wang Caiwei towards a demonic beast. If it weren't for Ling Feng, Wang Caiwei would already be dead!
Bu Chen's face froze. Of course, he had no face to return, but how could he leave the camp alone?
Without the protection of the caravan[1], he was sure to be dead!
So, he braced himself and returned, still hoping to exploit Wang Caiwei's affection to stay.
"Little Sister Caiwei, I didn't mean it. I... I just wanted to push you away from the beast, but I didn't expect to push you in the wrong direction. Yes, that's it!" Bu Chen shamelessly said.
"Get lost!"
Wang Caiwei's response was a cold "get lost."
At the brink of life and death, Wang Caiwei's previous affection for Bu Chen had turned into boundless disgust.
Does such a person deserve to be called a man?
"Get lost! Never appear before me again." Wang Caiwei took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth, "Otherwise, I'll cut out that tongue of yours that only speaks sweet words!"
Wang Tianlin was relieved to see his daughter finally see Bu Chen's true colors. He felt grateful to Ling Feng.
If Ling Feng had acted earlier, Caiwei might not have seen Bu Chen's true nature. He had waited until a desperate moment, allowing Caiwei to see through Bu Chen's deceit.
Bu Chen knelt with a thud while repeatedly kowtowing. "Little Sister Caiwei, I'm not a human and I deserve to die, but can't you take me back to Iron Wolf City before kicking me out? If you leave me here now, it's as good as killing me!"
"Do you still have the face to stay?"
Wang Tianlin roared and slapped Bu Chen's forehead. Instantly, his head burst like a watermelon.
As the leader of a gang, Wang Tianlin also had his decisive moments. Bu Chen had almost killed his daughter, which crossed his bottom line.
"Wuuu..." Caiwei felt a trace of unease before throwing herself into her father's arms and bursting into tears.
"Once you have seen the vast ocean, no other waters can compare; after experiencing Mount Wu[2], no other clouds will do."
Ling Feng shook his head and smiled. Perhaps this was the transformation of a young girl.
...
The next morning, the caravan packed up and continued on their journey.
This time, Ling Feng didn't stay inside the carriage. Many people had died last night, so there were plenty of horses available.
Moreover, Ling Feng felt that Wang Caiwei would end up harassing him if he stayed in the carriage.
The caravan traveled for half a day without incident, so the caravan members finally breathed a sigh of relief. If nothing went wrong, they would be home in a few hours.
Just as Wang Tianlin ordered his men to set up camp, Ling Feng stared at a dense forest ahead, his expression serious.
"Little Feng, did you notice something?" Wang Tianlin asked, feeling puzzled.
"Hehe." Ling Feng touched his nose and said calmly, "I think last night's demonic beast attack wasn't an accident; someone was orchestrating it from behind the scenes."
"What?" Wang Tianlin's pupils shrank as his heart skipped a beat. In the mountain breeze, he caught a faint scent of blood. Though subtle, it was unmistakable to these battle-hardened men.
"What's going on?" Wang Tianlin asked, his face filled with fear and vigilance as he looked around.
"Someone was ambushed here, and at least a hundred people died!" Ling Feng said, curling his lip. "Are there any bandits or brigands around this area?"
"No!" Wang Tianlin's heart sank. If it wasn't people, it had to be demonic beasts!
A strong sense of danger surged in his heart. Without hesitation, he shouted, "Brothers, turn around immediately. We'll take a detour!"
But it was already too late!
A sinister laugh echoed as if from the depths of hell, cold and evil.
"Hehe, President Wang, you've come all this way. Don't be in such a hurry to leave!"
The evil laughter came from an ancient tree not far away. In the next moment, a middle-aged man in his forties jumped down from the tree onto a large rock, looking down at everyone with a wicked smile. "President Wang, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
The man wore a black long robe with a large skull embroidered on his chest. He was tall and thin, with a gloomy appearance that gave off an extremely eerie feeling.
"You! You're Guo Xiao, the third leader of the Skull Gang!"
Wang Tianlin's pupils shrank, and his face showed deep apprehension. The Skull Gang was a dominant force in Iron Wolf City, unlike their own second-rate faction!
Hearing the name Skull Gang, the faces of the caravan members changed dramatically. The leader of the Skull Gang was a third level Spiritual Element Realm expert!
Guo Xiao, the third leader, had also reached the peak of the first level of Spiritual Element Realm, which was far beyond Wang Tianlin's capability to oppose.
Wang Caiwei's body trembled as she shrank back behind her father in fear. She knew that Guo Xiao's appearance here had a lot to do with her.
Half a year ago, Guo Xiao had shown a strong desire to possess her the first time he saw Wang Caiwei. Wang Tianlin had taken her to a neighboring city for business to avoid Guo Xiao.
"Hehe, Miss Caiwei, you've become even more beautiful in these past few months."
Guo Xiao licked his lips, his eyes filled with unrestrained desire as he openly ogled Wang Caiwei's graceful figure. "Come with me obediently, and I guarantee the Tianlin Chamber of Commerce will return to Iron Wolf City unharmed. Otherwise..."
Guo Xiao deliberately dragged out his words while laughing maliciously. "I can't guarantee what my little pets will do."
The next moment, Guo Xiao whistled loudly, and the ground began to tremble violently. Four demonic beasts emerged from the ground: a scorpion, a centipede, a spider, and a beetle. Each beast was the size of a fully grown bull. Their fangs and claws gleamed ominously, making everyone's blood run cold.
These demonic beasts were all fourth-tier advanced demonic beasts, equivalent to late-stage Transformation Realm experts!
"Guo Xiao, you've gone too far!" Wang Tianlin roared in anger.
"Hehe, President Wang, if you marry your daughter to me, you'll be my father-in-law. I only bully outsiders. Once we're family, I won't bully you anymore." Guo Xiao laughed shamelessly.
"In your dreams!" Wang Tianlin clenched his fists. If Guo Xiao were an ordinary cultivator, it might be different. However, he cultivated evil arts and used women's yin essence to enhance his own power.
Guo Xiao had defiled countless women, and those who had been with him never survived more than a month. They were drained of their yin essence and left to die.
Who would willingly send their daughter to such a fate?
Moreover, Wang Caiwei was not only beautiful but also possessed a pure yin physique, making her yin essence even more potent. To Guo Xiao, she was an invaluable treasure.
