Chapter 66 - A Girl Dies Every Day in Her Dream Life

The monkey-faced man, Liu Qingfeng, immediately agreed but cast a venomous glance at the black-clothed beauty. "Elder Wu, it's her! This woman dared to openly rob the Tianhai Gang's assets and attack the enforcement team. This is a blatant slap in the face of the Tianhai Gang! And it's even a slap to your face!" Elder Wu's expression turned slightly serious. He had only come by chance and sensed the monkey-faced man's weakened aura, prompting him to rush over and save him. If it wasn't Liu Qingfeng stirring trouble on purpose, but the woman intentionally robbing the Tianhai Gang... The nature of this incident would be entirely different. "Is that true?" Elder Wu asked suspiciously. It's not that he's overly cautious, but Liu Qingfeng had, over the years, abused his status, flaunting power in this demonic frontier thanks to his esteemed sister in a prestigious sect. He even offended two other major forces, requiring considerable effort to settle. "Yes, yes, this time it's definitely true!" Liu Qingfeng nodded vigorously as he quickly dragged the unconscious Dan Master up and slapped him awake. "Wake up! Tell him, wasn't your alchemy shop robbed?" Dan Master groggily awoke, immediately spotting Elder Wu, and became much more alert. "Greetings, Elder Wu..." "No need to ask; it was indeed me committing the robbery." At that moment, the black-clothed beauty spoke, sweeping away her earlier aloof aura to return to her initial foolishly ferocious demeanor. "But if I don't rob you, you're at the Dan formation, and I can't beat you." "That's her! That's her! Elder Wu, you must help me..." Dan Master also began to testify and then realized his storage pouch seemed to be missing. Through the spiritual imprint, he instinctively looked in a direction and noticed a sneaky, petite figure. It was that little brat, she dared to steal my storage pouch amidst the chaos! "And her! She's an accomplice too!" Dan Master screamed, pointing directly at Luo Xue. Instantly, all eyes turned to Luo Xue, including those of the black-clothed beauty. Luo Xue had been planning to quietly leave this troublesome place, refraining from using her spiritual arts to avoid drawing attention. She never considered that many sets of eyes were on her—using unfamiliar mystical arts could only make her stand out even more. Typically, a storage pouch would be marked with its owner's spiritual imprint. If not erased, it would be sensed even if lost. This situation showcased her lack of experience. A seasoned thief would erase the spiritual imprint immediately upon acquiring another's pouch—except robbers don't count. Since the black-clothed beauty hadn't erased it, she boldly stored it away. "An accomplice..." Elder Wu cast his gaze upon her, frowning slightly. This innate-stage little girl, dressed as a slave, how could she have the nerve to publicly rob in this demonic frontier? Judging by her appearance, she didn't seem to be the other woman's slave either... Regardless, such behavior openly defied the Tianhai Gang's authority. If not handled sternly, everyone might dare to test their strength here in the future. Whether the slave girl was indeed wrongly accused was of no concern to Elder Wu. "In that case, apprehend them all." With a big hand grabbing gesture, Elder Wu suddenly froze the surrounding aura, suffocating Luo Xue in an instant. It wasn't difficult to breathe, but rather all her spiritual power was immobilized, rendering all mystical arts ineffective. This was the might of Dan formation, whose mastery crafted a micro world, suppressing any lower-level cultivator with a mere breath. Facing Dan-level cultivators, no matter how many foundation cultivators there were, they couldn't contend. To have a foundation builder surpassing Dan to succeed in combat happens only once in thousands of years. Elder Wu deliberately exhibited Dan’s might to ensure all onlookers understood the consequences. No matter who or what cultivation level, provocation against the Tianhai Gang resulted in such an outcome. Similarly, the black-clothed beauty found herself ensnared, but she shrugged off the constraint quickly—body cultivators don't rely on the world's spiritual qi, surprising even Elder Wu. "A body cultivator... quite rare." Elder Wu squinted slightly but remained unperturbed. Merely shaking off the micro world's force, the advantages of Dan over foundation surpass this alone. As Elder Wu prepared for the black-clothed beauty's counterattack, she turned abruptly, darting towards Luo Xue instead. "What!" Elder Wu's pupils shrank. "Is she planning... to save this slave?" For formidable cultivators, even a nascent spiritual slave holds no value, considered inferior to a consumable resource. Slaves reaching innate stage with cheap resources and exhausting secret methods served no purpose beyond a vessel. To everyone, Luo Xue was precisely this. After all, her age was too young, young enough to hold esteemed talent within a minor faction should she have developed normally. However, here she was, appearing as nothing more than a vessel slave. This madwoman... is running back to save this slave? Luo Xue was equally stunned. Her sole relationship with the black-clothed beauty was potentially having her own twenty Yellow-grade Qi Concentration Pills robbed by her. Once freed from the micro world force, choosing to battle Elder Wu or escape seemed more sensible. Such actions, however, turned their back to Elder Wu. With a "crack," the micro world enveloping Luo Xue shattered, and the black-clothed beauty crashed into her arms, clutching her tightly. The softness of a tender body and a faint fragrance enveloped Luo Xue, reminiscent of her senior apprentice sister. However, such a situation was highly dangerous. Seeing this, Elder Wu swiftly reacted. A sharp sword light formed, slashing mercilessly towards the black-clothed beauty's back. In this moment, her aura turned icy once more, but Luo Xue clearly saw the blood smearing across the beauty's face hidden beneath her mask, fresh from all her orifices. As the sword light descended, it struck the black-clothed beauty. Yet... there was no response. She held Luo Xue, standing in place. "Why... why..." Luo Xue asked faintly. She watched the black-clothed beauty's gaze dim and her complexion blanch. The sword clearly injured her gravely. "Aren't you my accomplice," the black-clothed beauty weakly uttered, forcing words through her throat. "They said so..." "Am I?" Luo Xue froze, realizing she didn’t even know when she became her accomplice. "Aren't you?" The black-clothed beauty blinked, showing some confusion beneath her eyes. "Even if not before, now I am." Luo Xue surveyed the surrounding gazes, feeling a bitter tinge in her heart. What was this situation? Changing currency led to such matters... Now, to everyone present, she was indeed the black-clothed beauty's accomplice. "That's good then..." The black-clothed beauty closed her eyes slightly, almost collapsing. "Don't faint, big sister! If you do, I won't be able to escape!" Luo Xue panicked, scrambling to fetch medicine from her storage ring. Fortunately, her senior apprentice sister, fearing for her safety, had placed many life-saving healing pills powerful enough for Dan cultivators in her possession. No matter the previous incidents, only the black-clothed beauty's survival could prevent Luo Xue from being directly crushed by the Tianhai Gang. "Ninth Turn Rebirth Pill... what a martial arts name..." Luo Xue took out a pill, hurriedly placing it against the black-clothed beauty's lips. Unconsciously, she opened her mouth, and Luo Xue felt the warmth and softness of her touch. Why was she licking my fingers... Chapter 82 Hyena Feast, Shadow's Flight (4k) Her senior apprentice sister never told Luo Xue what grade the Ninth Turn Rebirth Pill was. In fact, this pill could even save a dying Dan cultivator, being a supreme-grade elixir. Moreover, her sister had given Luo Xue several high-grade Profound-level ones. Not to mention their unparalleled market value, each high-grade Profound-level Ninth Turn Rebirth Pill equaled at least a thousand Profound-level Qi Condensing Pills. ...Even if the black-clothed beauty handed over everything she stole today, it couldn't match this single Ninth Turn Rebirth Pill. Such expansive rarity justified its remarkable effectiveness. In no time after consuming it, the black-clothed beauty regained full consciousness, with her wounds visibly healing, and her blood essence revitalizing. She cast a glance at Luo Xue, her expression returning to its indifferent state. Meanwhile, Elder Wu, assuming the black-clothed beauty was drained after his sword strike, had relaxed slightly. She had endured a solid hit from a Dan-level strike; even another Dan-level cultivator would suffer serious injuries, let alone a foundation builder. Unless one was a Dan-level body cultivator. It was only because she was a body cultivator that the black-clothed beauty could withstand until now. Just as Elder Wu was about to step forward and capture both the black-clothed beauty and Luo Xue, making an example of the consequences of angering the Tianhai Gang, the black-clothed beauty suddenly found a burst of strength. She lifted Luo Xue and, in a blink, vanished from the spot. Her form flickered and quickly arrived dozens of feet away. Using the terrain to her advantage, the black-clothed beauty soon disappeared from everyone's sight. "What!" Elder Wu was slightly taken aback. "How could her injuries possibly..." But he quickly composed himself, emitting a cold grunt as he locked onto the black-clothed beauty's aura and pursued her. Letting her escape like this—what would that say about the Tianhai Gang? The Ghost Demon Gang was divided and fragmented in the past precisely because a series of failed operations left them unable to defend their interests. Consequently, they were attacked by all, leading to the division of the Ghost Demon Frontier into today's state. Survival of the fittest is the immutable law of these borderlands. Once weakness is shown, it invites incessant testing, eventually leading to collapse. After Elder Wu departed, Liu Qingfeng felt it inappropriate to remain there any longer. He glared bitterly at the Dan Master before hurriedly returning to the Tianhai Gang headquarters. Whether Elder Wu succeeded or not, Liu Qingfeng knew he had to account for today's failures, which only deepened his resentment toward the Dan Master. "If it weren't for this fool getting robbed, how would I... how would I have ended up in this mess!" Gone was his earlier swagger and bravado. The wretched Dan Master, however, was the most pitiful today, slumping despondently amidst the ruins. Years of building his shop were gone, and even his storage pouch had been stolen. Moreover, he'd caught the unwelcome attention of the young master from the Tianhai Gang, which was truly perilous. Once the Tianhai Gang members withdrew, the surrounding crowd immediately surged forward. They scrambled through the ruins of the alchemy shop in search of anything valuable, rendering the scene incredibly chaotic. It was like hyenas feasting on the carcass of a wolf.
