Chinatsu Watanabe's stab was incredibly precise, completely emasculating the unconscious Takehito.

Chu Yang frowned and asked, "You're planning to make me take the blame for you?"

Chinatsu Watanabe's lips curled into a playful smile as she scoffed, "What else? You expect me to carry it?"

"Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"

Chinatsu Watanabe had an indifferent expression on her face as she wiped her hands on the sheets.

"With your current skills, you could easily kill the 'Four Shadow Blades.' What am I to you? Do you think you'd hold back from killing me just because I'm afraid?"

She gracefully approached Chu Yang and handed him the knife.

"Kill me. Then no one will know about your dirty deeds back then, Young Master Chu."

As she spoke, she tore open her shirt, revealing the cinnabar mole.

"Shall we reminisce about our wonderful childhood?"

Chu Yang coldly glanced at Qianxia across the river, ignoring her actions of tearing her shirt.

"Make up whatever dirty stories you want. Between us, it's already a fight to the death." His voice was icy cold.

With that, he bent down and grabbed Shadow Hunter's cold ankle as if dragging a dead dog.

"Let's go!"

He gave Tangtang and Lin Xiaoman a low shout, then turned and left.

Chinatsu Watanabe, gripping the knife, stood frozen in place, her eyes filled with resentment and unwillingness, which finally erupted:

"You'd better kill me sooner rather than later!"

Tangtang stuck out her tongue and quickly followed Lin Xiaoman.

Lin Xiaoman glanced at Watanabe Chinatsu with empty eyes, then silently followed Chu Yang away.

Chu Yang dragged the corpse toward the deck. The sea breeze carried a salty smell, but it couldn't dispel the coldness and doubt between his brows.

The three had just stepped onto the dock when Watanabe Chinatsu's voice came from behind them again.

"You can't bear to kill me, huh? I'll give you another reason to kill me!"

Immediately, an object the size of a watermelon was tossed at Chu Yang's feet.

Chu Yang looked closely and was shocked to see that it was a frozen human head.

He had seen that face before in an S-level mission within the Dragon Shadow's internal system; it belonged to Dong Zhenguo, the previous Dragon Shadow Undercover Envoy of the East Sea.

Chu Yang took off his coat and carefully wrapped it around the hero who had devoted himself to the Great Xia Dynasty, holding it in front of him with both hands.

He turned to look at Chinatsu Watanabe, whose gaze was full of provocation on the distant deck.

"Don't worry! It won't be long!"

Two o'clock in the morning, inside Wei Daosheng's temporary residence.

After hearing what had happened, Wei Daosheng's clothes were soaked with cold sweat.

Countless experts from the Great Xia Dynasty died at the hands of the Four Shadow Blades, simply because the combination of their secret techniques made them invincible even to those stronger than them.

"Xiao Yang, I was too hasty this time, putting you in such a dangerous situation. As for Wu Ren's castration, it is indeed a bit troublesome, but your contribution this time must not be forgotten. I will definitely fight for the greatest benefit for you."

Chu Yang still feels a tightness in his chest because of what happened to Watanabe Chinatsu, and the vague memory that suddenly appeared in his mind just won't go away.

"Killing those Japanese dogs who harmed the Great Xia is of no merit to me, and I don't care."

Wei Daosheng patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "This time you killed the 'Four Shadow Blades,' so the bounty is 2 billion. Plus, you found Dong Zhenguo's head, so I'll pay you the 3 billion bounty at dawn."

"And those national treasures, you'll get a bonus of 10% of their market value. I'll have someone calculate it as soon as it's light."

Chu Yang nodded slightly: "Okay! And that Soul Gathering Flower, could you give it to me together after dawn?"

Although he was also eager for money, the Soul Gathering Flower was more urgent than money.

If the promised 5 billion yuan to Hua Chengguang is not feasible, we can just delay it for a few days and charge more interest.

However, without the Soul Gathering Flower, both Su Wanning and Gu Shengyao would be in danger.

Wei Daosheng smiled and nodded, "No problem! I was just playing 'Tai Chi' with those guys in the capital, otherwise I would have exchanged it for you before you came."

While operating the system, he confidently stated, "I'll exchange it now, and I'll arrange for someone to fly it over immediately, I guarantee it..."

His words abruptly stopped, and his face suddenly turned ashen.

Chu Yang frowned: "Something's wrong?"

Wei Daosheng didn't answer, but instead made a phone call.

"Find out right now who switched the Soul-Gathering Flower!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yang's head buzzed.

After hanging up the phone, Wei Daosheng slammed his fist on the table in anger.

"Damn it! They did it on purpose!"

Chu Yang quickly waved his hand and asked, "What happened?"

Wei Daosheng sighed and said, "At nine o'clock tonight, the only Soul Gathering Flower was exchanged by the Ai family of Beijiang, and it was immediately put on a plane and delivered to the East China Sea two hours ago."

Chu Yang sighed silently and rubbed his temples.

It must be that Ai Qiandao also saw that Su Wanning's soul was injured and was certain that she would try to exchange the Soul Gathering Flower from the treasure vault, so he got there first.

Having just won two rounds in his contest with Ai Qiandao, is he about to lose one round?

Wei Daosheng also knew how important the Soul Gathering Flower was to Chu Yang, and at this moment, he was filled with guilt.

"It's all my fault, I was careless. If it had been before nine o'clock..."

Chu Yang waved his hand: "I didn't expect this either. But Ai Qiandao will definitely contact me. I'll deal with it as it comes. Right now, I need to raise money for the Baoyuan Auction in the provincial capital. Just help me cash out the bounty and bonus as soon as possible."

Wei Daosheng still felt bad; he had never miscalculated so much in his life.

"We will arrange to trace the origins of these national treasures. If they were stolen and the original owner cannot be found, or if they were treasures from excavated graves or other sites, we will confiscate them."

"You...didn't you say that the Dragon-Seeing Cauldron was very helpful to you? I'll start checking it right away. If it's unclaimed, I'll have the families of those who received your kindness and were rescued by you pay for it as a thank-you gift to you."

These words offered Chu Yang some comfort.

Although Wei Daosheng's words are not yet certain, and it is unknown whether the other four dragon cauldrons can be gathered, at least there is some hope.

He left Wei Daosheng's temporary residence and went directly to the Universal Hotel.

The matter of the Soul-Gathering Flower caused him anxiety, and he had long lost interest in consummating their marriage.

As for my wife, well, although she mostly disagrees with me, she almost always thinks of me, but the way she expresses it is a bit unpleasant.

Take the incident at the Western restaurant, for example. He could tell that Su Wanning was very worried that he would be taken away by the Dragon Shadow Guards because he had hit someone, which is why she was willing to threaten him with divorce to make him leave.

Despite Su Wanning's usual cold and unfriendly attitude towards Sha Qiang, she immediately stepped forward and did her best to quell the situation when she saw that Sha Qiang might cause trouble.

Knowing that Sha Qiang was not good with words, she acted as his representative throughout the entire process, without letting Sha Qiang say a single word.

Su Wanning is a typical example of someone who is tough on the outside but soft on the inside.

Perhaps she is inherently weak-willed, and in order to support the company, she has no choice but to arm herself with a hard and thorny "armor".

This is also why she developed another, more assertive personality after her soul was damaged.

Chu Yang stood in front of room 808, silently sighing and shaking his head.

It's unclear what conditions Ai Qiandao intends to propose, but regardless, the Soul Gathering Flower must be obtained.

Tangtang volunteered to go and find out what happened, but we don't know how it went.

"Hmm...wait...here?"

Lin Xiaoman mumbled a few words.

Chu Yang nodded with a wry smile: "Come in with me."

Lin Xiaoman's area-of-effect attack skills are terrifying, and she's currently unpredictable, so Chu Yang doesn't dare let her out of his sight for even a moment.

Otherwise, if this girl goes berserk, there might be no survivors in the entire hotel.

However, he also studied Lin Xiaoman carefully along the way.

After the poisonous fog was released on the ship, Lin Xiaoman seemed to have been emptied out of her body, and her violent aura was not as strong.

Perhaps the biggest difference between a Poison Puppet and a Poisonous Yin Body is that a Poisonous Yin Body can absorb toxins without restraint, while a Poison Puppet relies on its own production of toxins.

Lin Xiaoman is probably still in a state of being "hollowed out".

However, Chu Yang still dared not let his guard down.

Before he could ring the doorbell, the door opened, and a very distinctive fragrance wafted out.

Chu Yang immediately frowned.

"Why is it you?"
