Chapter 101: A New Situation

Translator: YHEditor: Lis

Ai Hui watched coldly from the side. If looks could kill, Duanmu Huanghun would have died many times over. As Lou Lan skillfully stripped Duanmu Huanghun bare, Ai Hui observed without the slightest intention of helping.

To him, Duanmu Huanghun looked no different from a blanched suckling pig. This sort of spare ribs would even be scoffed at by a butcher for its utter lack of flesh.

He cursed relentlessly under his breath.

If Lou Lan left for even a moment, Ai Hui would have stabbed Duanmu Huanghun multiple times already. He had always despised those who were all talk and no action, yet now he was no different from them. Ai Hui was filled with sorrow; if only he didn’t need that one hundred million!

“Preparations have been made,” Lou Lan said.

Roused from his self-pitying stupor by Lou Lan’s words, Ai Hui automatically replied, “Ah….”

There he saw Duanmu Huanghun, stripped to his underwear and lying on the table beside Lou Lan. His body was strangely bright red like a cooked prawn.

Ai Hui looked at Lou Lan oddly. What did he mean by preparations have been made?

“Does he mean that I can start beating him up?” he thought. “Then why didn’t he say so earlier? Lou Lan must still be too inexperienced at these things. What I plan on doing is similar to how a butcher slaughters livestock; there’s no need to strip someone bare before killing him. At my current level, I can kill him without spilling a single drop of blood. Afterwards, all we have to do is feed him to the dire beasts, and he’ll have disappeared without a trace. Faking a natural death isn’t impossible either. All we need are the right materials. Have you prepared these materials, Lou Lan…?”

Just as Ai Hui’s murderous intent reached its highest point, Lou Lan began to explain.

“Bangwan’s current conditions is more serious than the last time. Luckily, Ai Hui’s strength has also improved, so we can still save him. You must be anxious to help since the two of you seem to have a good relationship.”

Ai Hui froze, as if a binding curse had been placed on him. The corner of his eye twitched as he asked, “Save him? Me?”

“Yes, Ai Hui’s metal elemental energy can stimulate his body and facilitate the movement of his vital fluids,” Lou Lan said, continuing honestly, “Lou Lan’s elemental energy may not be enough to save Bangwan, but rest assured, Ai Hui is definitely capable of saving him.”

To hell with this!

I have to save this ingrate again?

Seething inside, Ai Hui raged internally like a dire beast rampaging through the woods.

“Are you not feeling well?” Lou Lan asked, deeply concerned. Ai Hui wasn’t moving much, and his complexion was abnormal. Lou Lan prepared his eyes for a scan.

Ai Hui raised his head, revealing an incredibly forced smile.

Lou Lan heaved a sigh of relief. “Ai Hui, the technique is exactly the same as before.”

Turning to face the unconscious person lying on the table, his eyes flared with hatred as he asked, “I have to use elemental energy for this?”

“Yes, Ai Hui.” Lou Lan further explained, “Bangwan’s condition is more serious this time around, so Ai Hui must use elemental energy. The force exerted should also be slightly increased.”

“Exert more force?” Ai Hui asked, his lips curving into a grin. “No problem!”

As soon as he finished his sentence, a crisp slap resounded through the air. A clear imprint of Ai Hui’s palm appeared on Duanmu Huanghun’s bright red body that still trembled from the impact.

You may have escaped death, but you’ll still have to face my wrath. Blame your bad luck for delivering you right into my hands!

Using his palms, Ai Hui rapidly delivered blow after blow at full force.

Enemy, enemy, enemy! Ingrate, ingrate, ingrate!

Duanmu Huanghun’s body began to swell up like an inflated balloon as Ai Hui continued to rain relentless blows on him.

This was only his second time unleashing his full strength since the mishap. The first had been during the blind battle at the training ground. Otherwise, extracting silk required him to slow his elemental energy significantly, and his regular trainings were the same as well.

Being able to fully utilize his strength was deeply satisfying.

Recalling his method of using a sword technique to extract silk, his fingers readily moved into position, poised to take action.

The sword technique he previously used had been the result of a sudden inspiration. His subconscious attempt to channel elemental energy into a non-existent sword had yielded surprisingly remarkable effects.
