Body Refinement for Longevity: From Health Cultivation Exercises to Overcoming All Techniques
Chapter 34 I'm...hungry
"My benefactor, I don't want to have anything to do with my father anymore. I'll just pretend he's dead."
Li Muyun spoke softly, "My benefactor, could you grant me one more small favor?"
"Since it's a small matter, I certainly won't refuse. Please tell me."
Chen Han had a good impression of Li Muyun, as she had helped him a great deal in the past. Now that she was in trouble, he would naturally help her as much as he could.
"Thank you for your help. I just want to stay here and then trouble you to help me find a job."
Chen Han lowered his head in thought, then felt it was inappropriate and said, "This place is suitable for Miss to stay, but not for doing errands..."
"Ah, why?"
Li Muyun blinked her big eyes and asked.
"Now that things have come to this, I won't hide it from you anymore. I have a serious grudge against the Black Mountain Gang. That night, I let two people who knew the truth escape. Although they didn't know my true identity, they knew you."
Chen Han continued, "That's why you can't show yourself right now, otherwise we'll both be in mortal danger."
Li Muyun's delicate body trembled slightly upon hearing this, and fear crept onto her cheeks. "My benefactor, I'll do whatever you say."
Is anything okay...?
Chen Han shook his head, trying to dismiss the bad thoughts in his mind.
"You don't need to do anything, just stay here and don't get discovered by anyone else."
After settling Li Muyun in temporarily, Chen Han left. Before leaving, Li Muyun grabbed his hand and begged him to stay overnight.
But Chen Han was a man of firm resolve, and he left without looking back.
The main concern is the presence of the Gu worms inside the body; who knows if it could be transmitted sexually?
At this very moment, in a secluded area of Black Monkey City, an elderly man with a hunched back was walking slowly.
He looked frail, but the look between his brows was chilling, the kind of gaze one would have only acquired after killing countless people.
The old man slowly walked to a small courtyard. The courtyard was brightly lit, and the servants who looked like ordinary men were actually martial arts masters with hidden strength.
Upon closer inspection, they even discovered a master of internal energy transformation among them!
Unbeknownst to most, this seemingly unremarkable mansion is actually the headquarters of the Black Mountain Gang.
"Sir, you've finished your business and returned."
At this moment, several martial arts masters noticed the old man, and then they all bowed and stepped forward to greet him with great respect.
One of them had a pockmarked face and was disheveled; he was the old man Chen Han had unexpectedly encountered that day.
"Um..."
The old man responded casually, seemingly unconcerned.
"My lord, recently a man has killed many of our brothers. In just one year, four of our Seven Fiends have perished. You must do us justice!"
At this moment, one person cried out and knelt down on the spot.
The old man had extremely long hair, obscuring his face, but everyone could sense that his gaze had darkened. In an instant, everyone felt a strange, chilling aura rush to their heads.
"Little Six, have you found out anything about this person's background?"
His voice was hoarse and deep, like a vengeful ghost on the road to the underworld.
"No...no, this person did a very good job of cleaning up the mess. The bodies of the dead brothers were all smashed up, so nothing could be found."
We don't even know if it was the same person who killed them.
"Okay, okay, good job..."
The old man suddenly laughed, a cold, ruthless laugh that sent chills down one's spine.
The latter, confused, asked, "M-Sir, what are you laughing at?"
"I'm laughing. Why did I even bother raising you useless dogs..."
After saying that, his large, aged hand, covered with age spots, gripped the man's face firmly like an iron clamp.
"My...my lord, please spare me..."
The old man paid no heed to his subordinate's pleas for mercy. With a thought, he drew out the crimson blood from the man's body and absorbed it all.
The Black Mountain Gang leader was in excruciating pain. His pupils suddenly shrank to the size of pinpoints. He tried to let out a heart-wrenching scream but couldn't utter a sound. He was like a trapped eel, struggling violently.
But gradually, his body went limp, his flesh swelled up, his eye sockets bulged, and he looked like a dried-up corpse.
hiss...
The old man released the corpse of his unseeing eyes, took a long breath, and made a satisfied sound, as if he were savoring the moment.
The top experts of the Black Mountain Gang didn't dare to raise their heads at this moment. Even the old man with a pockmarked face, who had beaten the martial arts master to the point of not being able to lift his head, looked timid and shrinking.
The men's eyes revealed disdain for the dead; trash deserves to die.
The old man's gaze did not linger on his brutally murdered subordinate; he went straight back to his room.
A ghostly, eerie voice echoed, "Half a month. Find this person for me. I want to see him personally... Also, bring those seven remaining good-for-nothings here... I'm hungry..."
"Yes."
The group accepted the order together.
The next day, at the Chen residence.
"Elder Shanhe, I am truly sorry, but an unexpected incident has occurred, and I am unable to continue my post within your esteemed lineage."
Chen Han bowed respectfully and apologized.
"What?!"
Chen Shanhe, who had initially held a favorable impression of Chen Han, suddenly stood up, his gaze filled with surprise and confusion, before anger surfaced a few moments later.
"Nephew Han, you promised me yesterday, how can you go back on your word?"
Chen Han was also helpless; how could he not have anticipated this situation?
There was nothing he could do; the person who came looking for him was his childhood best friend.
Chen Han transmigrated and inherited the original owner's memories. In addition, Chen Lei later gave him a lot of help and truly regarded him as a brother, so he really couldn't bring himself to refuse him.
"Elders of the land, I am truly sorry..."
Chen Han did not offer any explanation, but instead bowed respectfully and expressed his apology once again.
Chen Shanhe's face turned pale and then black, and he almost cursed several times but held back.
In the end, these words turned into a long sigh, "Fine, if you want to sit here, I can't stop you. I hope you won't regret it later..."
After saying that, Chen Shanhe left.
Chen Han's gaze narrowed slightly, but he didn't seem to care too much about the matter.
Chen Shanhe is an elder in the clan and has a lot of prestige. Now that Chen Han has completely offended him, he will definitely deliberately target Chen Han and secretly trip him up when handling affairs.
However, Chen Han was not afraid. With his current strength, he could deal with any challenge, and Chen Shanhe's underhanded methods would not cause him much trouble.
"But we still need to be careful. If you walk by the river often enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet. If you offend too many people, you might accidentally stumble one day."
Chen Han reminded himself of this.
……
After a day of boxing practice, as dusk settled, Chen Han returned home and found many new items in his house, all high-end, classy, and obviously expensive.
Wearing a new silk dress with her hands behind her back, Shen Yue approached him with a smile, "Big brother, do you think my new clothes look good?"
Chen Han looked her up and down. It was a simple outer garment, blue and white, which was just right for a young girl like Shen Yue who was in the prime of her life.
"Yes, it looks good."
