Chapter 251: The Boss is Generous, The Boss is Healthy
The Tianlang Wei were not fools.
If one could lose their ability to fight back in an instant, it meant that this woman was an incredibly terrifying existence.
Crossing Tribulation? Maybe even more… perhaps nine layers of Crossing Tribulation, or…
The fallen Tianlang Wei quickly realized.
There was no chance for him to succeed in his mission this time.
As a member of Tianlang Wei, he knew that the most important thing now was to find a way to commit suicide, otherwise falling into the enemy’s hands would only lead to a more miserable fate.
So, the moment Gu Yingmian turned to look at him, he desperately tried to shatter his own meridians and destroy his dantian to kill himself.
However, that woman in white simply regarded him with a hint of mockery.
Forget about the meridians and dantian.
He couldn’t even bite through the poison hidden under his tongue.
All his life force and cultivation seemed to have frozen.
The only thing he could do was watch like a lifeless puppet as the sword aura flickered in that woman’s eyes.
“Can’t you hear me asking you a question?”
A hint of murderous intent surged in Gu Yingmian’s eyes.
She wouldn’t allow her man to live in danger at all times.
Therefore, even if this Tianlang Wei would rather die than yield, refusing to reveal the mastermind behind him…
Gu Yingmian was determined to investigate thoroughly and eradicate all hidden dangers.
But at that moment, Young Master Sang, smiling, comforted her:
“It’s fine, Sister Gu. No need to get angry over something so trivial. If you get wrinkles, I’d feel sorry for you.”
Gu Yingmian shot him an annoyed glance and muttered softly, “I won’t get wrinkles…”
“Yes, yes, yes.”
Young Master Sang grinned, “Leave these three to me.”
Saying that, he walked up to the Tianlang Wei.
As the other party’s eyes bulged, bloodshot and staring at him, he chuckled, “I know. You’re from the Holy Kingdom.”
“Looks like your empress is quite unhappy about our cooperation with Floating Splendor Commerce.”
The Tianlang Wei remained silent, glaring fiercely at Young Master Sang.
“Don’t worry. I’m quite magnanimous.”
Young Master Sang had Gu Yingmian release the restriction on the Tianlang Wei, even helping him up, brushing off the dirt on him, and straightening his clothes.
“What’s the big deal about sending someone to capture me?”
“Just go back and tell your empress,” Young Master Sang patted him on the shoulder, “Our Demon Cult operates under the principle of not attacking those who don’t attack us.”
“We’re just conducting legitimate business with Floating Splendor Commerce, and we should keep our interactions with your Holy Kingdom separate.”
“We have no intention of making enemies with you.”
“Likewise.”
“You’d best not come looking for trouble,” his voice turned a bit colder.
The Tianlang Wei stared coldly at him, remaining silent.
If it weren’t for the watchful white-clad woman behind him, he would have loved to gut this brazen man who dared to speak disrespectfully of the empress right then and there.
“Of course.”
Young Master Sang suddenly switched to a smile, “If your empress wants to see me, why go through all this trouble?”
“Just tell me. As long as your Holy Kingdom provides food and lodging, I wouldn’t mind mooching off you for a few days.”
“I love free food and shelter the most.”
He patted the Tianlang Wei on the shoulder enthusiastically, “Make sure to pass the message along—I’m always waiting for your Holy Kingdom’s invitation.”
The Tianlang Wei stared at Young Master Sang.
Young Master Sang stared back at the Tianlang Wei.
After a moment, Young Master Sang couldn’t help but ask, “…What are you still standing there for?”
“You…”
For the first time, the Tianlang Wei spoke with a deep, hoarse voice, “You… Let me go?”
“Why wouldn’t I?”
Young Master Sang frowned, “The thing I dislike the most is people who want things for free and those who won’t let me have them.”
“If I don’t let you go, you think I’ll take you back and shove you into a cell with free meals? What a lovely thought.”
The Tianlang Wei: “…”
He couldn’t understand what this man was thinking.
Letting him go for no reason was simply unimaginable.
But compared to dying here, he could at least report the information about the white-clad woman back to the empress.
So, the Tianlang Wei remained silent, turned around to carry his two unconscious companions, and was about to leave.
But after taking a few steps, Young Master Sang suddenly called out to him.
“Stop! There’s one more thing!”
The Tianlang Wei’s heart tightened, and he turned to see Young Master Sang bouncing over, handing him a dagger.
“Before you go,” Young Master Sang said eagerly, “ stab me right here.”
The Tianlang Wei: “?”
This guy… is he really out of his mind?
Seeing the Tianlang Wei hesitate, Young Master Sang grew impatient and slapped him on the head, “I said stab me, don’t dawdle around like a woman!”
The Tianlang Wei glared at him in shame and frustration.
But with that white-clad woman behind him, he didn’t dare go all out, so he had to carefully stab the dagger into the abdomen Young Master Sang pointed to.
However, as soon as the dagger broke the skin slightly…
“Ouch! That really hurts!”
After a wail, Young Master Sang slapped the Tianlang Wei on the forehead and cursed, “I told you to stab me, and you actually did! That hurts!”
Didn’t you tell me to stab you?! The Tianlang Wei felt terribly wronged.
“Forget it.”
Young Master Sang thought for a moment, took back the dagger, and stabbed the Tianlang Wei a few times himself.
To the Tianlang Wei in the Harmonization Stage, these wounds were hardly significant. But the pain still made him glare at Young Master Sang in humiliation.
Young Master Sang splattered blood all over himself, smeared it around until he looked truly pitiful, and only then was he satisfied to let the Tianlang Wei leave.
After the man left, Gu Yingmian curiously asked, “What are you doing?”
Young Master Sang smiled at her and opened the Communication Device.

Inside Floating Splendor Commerce.
Bai Ming was still bored, waiting for Young Master Sang’s response.
So slow… why haven’t I seen a message yet? Bai Ming thought dully.
Suddenly, a video invitation came through.
Bai Ming looked and was excited to see it was Young Master Sang, promptly accepting the video call. Just as she was about to speak, “Did you see my new work? How is it—”
Her words were interrupted by a wail.
“Heavens! I’m suffering!”
“I’m in such a pitiful state!”
“I just wanted to retake that Demon Cult, and those Holy Kingdom rascals went insane, sending ten Harmonization and eight Crossing Tribulation folks to beat me into a state where I can hardly take care of myself!”
Bai Ming: “…?”
“It’s all because I helped Bai ge, that I got beaten up by the Holy Kingdom!”
On the other side of the screen, Young Master Sang, with blood all over his face, was crying pitifully, “I’m just a poor, weak, and helpless worker, barely making enough to support my family— I’m their only pillar now!”
“Now that I’m beaten like this and can’t take care of myself, what will I do in the future! I can’t even afford medical bills, let alone feed the whole family!”
“Miss Shui Ming, you must make sure Bai ge will stand up for me!”
Looking at Young Master Sang’s faked expression, Bai Ming was silent for a long time.
“… Just tell me. How much do you want?”
“Three million. Thank you, boss. The boss is generous, and the boss is healthy.” Young Master Sang switched to a bright smile in an instant.
