C49 Teasing an Otherworldly Beauty!

Tang Erpao didn't dare to utter a single extra word. He simply crawled up and ran away.

He didn't want to die.

Looking at Tang Erpao, who was running faster than a red-haired rabbit, Zhan Tianming grinned.

"Haha!!!"

"Luckily, I didn't kill him in a hurry. Otherwise, these silver bills would've never landed in my pockets."

After using the system for such a long time, he had figured something. Regardless of who he killed, be it a human or a beast, all their valuables would disappear instantly as soon as he killed them. Then, the system would drop some of their valuable items at random for him to pick up.

In other words, had he killed Tang Erpao, he would've to pick up whatever the system randomly dropped for him out of Tang Erpao's valuables.

Also, there had been times where he got absolutely nothing out of the random droppings.

'By now killing him this time...

'Heh heh, I've struck it rich this time!'

20,000 silver!

This was an astronomical figure for everyone in the entire Nanqing Village.

Probably the entire village had never seen so many banknotes before.

After that, he turned around.

Zhan Tianming walked back to Fu Shiyao's side and teased, "Beauty, do you really not need my help?"

"No need," Fu Shiyao replied coldly.

Shrugging his shoulders, Zhan Tianming turned and left.

'Okay, then. Stay like this.'

'If you don't my help, then I won't help.'

Zhan Tianming walked to the Three-Tailed Thunderwolf and tried to communicate with it.

However…

The Three-Tailed Thunderwolf was a mere peak Grade One Demonic Beast, so the best it could do was obey simple orders. It couldn't tell Zhan Tianming what it knew or answer his questions. It could only share some thoughts that made Zhan Tianming frown.

He didn't understand the thoughts at all.

"Damn it!"

Zhan Tianming gnashed his teeth and clenched his fist.

Kacha, Kacha!!!

"Do I have to let the murderer go unpunished?"

Zhan Tianming was unwilling.

Really unwilling!

If he couldn't even avenge his parents, would he still be a human?

Even if the heavens forgave him, he wouldn't be able to forgive himself.

"No way!"

"I must figure out the truth!"

Zhan Tianming gritted his teeth.

He refused to admit defeat!

He absolutely could not admit defeat!

Once again, he tried to communicate with the Three-Tailed Thunderwolf.

Failure!

Again!

Failure!

Again...

He wasn't going to give up so easily.

However, his repeated efforts bore no results. At this point, he believed that only ghosts could understand the wolf's thoughts.

Even then, there was a probability that the ghosts would just go mad after hearing the wolf's deranged ramblings.

Zhan Tianming looked inside the War Pet space.

There was still a circle of purple light slowly flickering on Little Purple's body: it was still advancing.

He definitely could not disturb it right now.

In desperation, Zhan Tianming turned and anxiously stared at the Three-Tailed Thunderwolf.

"Humph! I'll let you live a few more days. "

"I'll wait until Bajie wakes up and see if it can understand you. After that, I'll slaughter you."

Zhan Tianming was very unhappy.

His parents' murderer, the Demonic Wolf, stood right in front of him, yet he couldn't kill it with a single slap. This feeling... It was as if something was squeezing his chest, stifling his breath; yet, he couldn't do anything about it despite being perfectly capable.

After all, he just could let the real culprit get out of his hands so easily.

The wolf was the only way to find the truth.

So, he had to let the Three-Tailed Thunderwolf live for a little longer.

He jumped onto the Three-Tailed Thunderwolf's body and prepared to leave this place.

However…

His eyes fell on Fu Shiyao, who couldn't move due to her acupuncture points and was standing on the ground motionlessly.

"Leave her here alone wouldn't be good, right?"

"Damn!"

"I must've owed you in my previous life."

The Three-Tailed Thunderwolf walked toward her, and Zhan Tianming pointed at her.

Nine Dragons Finger!

Puff! Puff!

Two-finger auras shot out, piercing Fu Shiyao's body.

The acupuncture points were unlocked.

Fu Shiyao could finally move, but when she looked at Zhan Tianming, there was not the slightest bit of gratitude in her eyes.

Zhan Tianming wasn't looking for gratitude either. He just lightly pinched the Demonic Wolf with his feet.

The Three-Tailed Thunderwolf immediately walked out of the valley.

"Wait a moment."

Suddenly, Fu Shiyao called out to him.

"I say, Miss, is there anything else you want from me?" Zhan Tianming turned his head impatiently and looked at Fu Shiyao. Although this girl was as beautiful as a fairy and was definitely a beauty amongst beauties, her expression made it seem like he owed her several million, making him feel uncomfortable.

"You were drugged," Fu Shiyao said.

"Hmm?" Zhan Tianming was startled.

He was drugged?

When did that happen?

Fu Shiyao didn't want to owe Zhan Tianming a favor, so she explained, "Your body is emitting an aura that makes demonic beasts go crazy. If I'm not mistaken, you were fed Demon Summoning Powder seven days ago. It has no particular poisonous effects; however, demonic beasts go crazy near whoever consumed it. After seven days, the effects of the pill will automatically disappear."

Hearing that, Zhan Tianming was startled.

The effects disappear after seven days?

It had been exactly seven days since he partook in the assessment.

Could it be that he was drugged while he was still in the Nanqing Village?

And…

Demonic beasts would go crazy near whoever consumed the powder?

Could it be that his parents were killed like this too?

Suddenly, Zhan Tianming understood.

He recalled what happened before he left the village.

"Wine!"

Suddenly, Zhan Tianming remembered wine used as a sacrifice.

That wine must have been tampered with.

And the ones who wanted him to die the most were probably Zhang Yong, Wang Sishi's wife, Aunt Zhang, and Wang Man.

Those three people were the most suspicious.

Just as Zhan Tianming was thinking about this, something flew over.

Zhan Tianming subconsciously caught it.

That thing was thrown over by Fu Shiyao.

After throwing the items, Fu Shiyao kept a cold face and said, "This is the Hundred Flower Jade Dew Pill. After being consumed, it will release a sweet smell that will hide your aura and increase your cultivation. This will keep the demonic beasts away from you."

After saying that, Fu Shiyao finally felt that she no longer owed Zhan Tianming anything.

She didn't want to owe this homicidal maniac a favor.

Zhan Tianming temporarily put aside the matters in his heart and grinned at Fu Shiyao. "Why are you so concerned about me? You wanna ride this bad boy or something?"

"You?"

Fu Shiyao was flushed with anger.

"I've never seen such a shameless person like you. Who the hell would want to ride you?"

Fu Shiyao pouted her red lips as if she was angry.

"Hey, hey, hey..." Zhan Tianming wore a pretentious expression and said, "All I asked was if you want to ride this Demonic Wolf or not. Who said anything about riding me? It's almost dark, and there is nothing but wilderness around—you don't wanna spend your night here, right? "

Fu Shiyao was startled.

"You... Is this what you meant by 'riding?'"

"Of course, what else could I mean?" Zhan Tianming replied in all seriousness, and then, he acted even more surprised. "Could it be... you weren't thinking this? So, what were you thinking about?"

After saying that, Zhan Tianming looked at her as if he was looking at a pervert.

"I... Of course, that's what I meant. You're just overthinking." Fu Shiyao's face was slightly red. She immediately turned around, afraid that he would see the change in her expression.

Zhan Tianming was already extremely happy in his heart.

Teasing an otherworldly beauty.

So much fun!

Seeing Fu Shiyao's embarrassed look, Zhan Tianming did not tease her anymore.

"Since that's the case, let's hurry up and go up."
