A bathing pool...
Fang Shaoli was sitting on a black chair with her legs crossed. A pair of blue, sharp heels were tapping softly on the ground made of volcanic rocks.
The bathing pool was built with volcanic rocks. Heat was coming from the beehive of holes, warming the room.
At the front was a heart-shaped pool. In the past, the pool was normally filled with clean hot water and rose petals, but it was now filled with black unholy water full of bubbles, like it had dissolved lots of corpses. Just the sight of it was utterly disgusting.
Zhao Pinlin was kneeling in front of Fang Shaoli's short skirt, kissing her heels. His humble act was nothing like his usual tyrannical manner. It felt like he had turned into a completely different person.
Meanwhile, Wang Xuxu was right beside them. She was watching the scene in fear. Zhao Pinlin's strange act, and the woman acting all superior… it did not look like some kinky fetish, but pure evil. Wang Xuxu felt extremely uncomfortable.
”You've kissed the God of Death's foot. The master has accepted your sincerity. Now, it is time for you to act,” Fang Shaoli smiled. The nobility in her smile was different than the disguise of the waitress she put on every day!
”The master you mentioned, are you referring to the one in the Ancient Capital...” Zhao Pinlin's eyes flickered with uncontrollable excitement.
If Zhao Pinlin had heard the name a week ago, he would surely have kept a good distance from the place.
However, he now felt like he had embarked on a journey to obtain unlimited power and status, led by the person who was able to stir chaos in the modern world. Why would he worry about fulfilling his own little ambitions?
”Please relay my will to master. I will contribute greatly to the organization,” said Zhao Pinlin.
Wang Xuxu was simply in disbelief as she watched it all happen.
The Black Vatican!
Wang Xuxu finally understood why Zhao Pinlin had turned into a different man in just a few days. He was being influenced by the people of the Black Vatican!
What did the woman in heels do to change a well-behaved student into what he was now? It was like he had been possessed by a demon! His bones were filled with nothing but greed. He had completely forfeited the beliefs and teachings he had received for the past twenty years!
”What...what are you trying to do?” Wang Xuxu backed off in fear when she saw Zhao Pinlin approaching her like a demon.
”You can no longer provide me with any value. You will become the stepping stone for me to achieve my greater ambitions!” Zhao Pinlin declared in a cruel voice.
”Wake up, Zhao Pinlin, do you understand what you are doing? She's with the Black Vatican, she's only going to lead you into a bottomless abyss!” Wang Xuxu knew her life was in danger. She forced herself to stay calm and try to convince the man.
”Do you think I've lost my mind? To be honest, when I heard about the calamity of the Ancient Capital, my first thought was... how is it possible that a single person was capable enough to bring despair to such a huge nation?...” Zhao Pinlin laughed disdainfully.
Wang Xuxu was stunned. She could not believe she had heard that from Zhao Pinlin.
