(A loud plea for monthly votes! Brothers and sisters, does anyone have any monthly votes? If you have any, please support me! Thank you all so much!)

"You want to become my disciple??? But why should I accept you???" The old lecher raised his eyebrows and put on airs.

"Master, I've kowtowed so many times..." Zhao Dongge said, looking pitiful.

"It's your choice to kowtow, whether I accept it or not is up to me..." the old lecher said with a grin.

"Master, you can't be a scoundrel! I didn't see you dodge just now..." Zhao Dongge said, looking aggrieved.

"Hmph, anyway, I won't accept anyone. Do you think just anyone can be my apprentice? Unless they are exceptional talents, I won't even give them a second glance..." The old lecher looked at the starry sky and said smugly.

"But don't you think I'm a gem? I think I'm a good candidate for martial arts..." Zhao Dongge said.

"Hmm! I didn't realize..." The old lecher lowered his head, pretended to scrutinize Zhao Dongge for a long time, shook his head, and said with a half-smile.

"Master, please accept me as your disciple..." Zhao Dongge crawled two steps on his knees, hugged the old lecher's leg, and looked up at the old lecher pitifully.

"Eh..." With his legs held by an old man who was looking up at him with pitiful eyes, the old lecher got goosebumps all over his body and shivered involuntarily. With a jerk of his legs, he shook Zhao Dongge off, and then with a slight movement, he nimbly disappeared into the crowd.

"Master..." Zhao Dongge's voice was mournful, like the Monkey King banished by Tang Sanzang, reluctant, unwilling, and resentful...

"Boss, is it really that serious???" Zhang Jianhui recovered and came to Zhao Dongge's side to help him up.

"Of course, he's a master! A true master..." Zhao Dongge looked in the direction the old lecher had left, his face full of regret, but he was not discouraged, because he could sense that although the old lecher had rejected him, he was not resolute, which meant that he still had hope.

"Hey, you two bastards, why aren't you coming over here to help me? I can't move, my whole body feels like it's falling apart..." Zheng Dongfang's voice rang out.

"Hehe, is the second brother feeling better now? Is the younger brother still working?" Zhang Jianhui chuckled, quite gloating.

"Serves you right, who told you to be so talkative..." Zhao Dongge said, and together with Zhang Jianhui, they helped Zheng Dongfang up.

"Just kidding, who knew that old man would have such a temper..." Zheng Dongfang was also speechless with bitterness, but he did get a good beating.

"Alright, alright, let's hurry up and go inside..." Zhang Jianhui said, giving the two brothers a wink.

The two understood each other, glanced around, and found that everyone was staring at them in a daze. They couldn't help but laugh awkwardly, and together with Zhang Jianhui, they awkwardly went into the house.

"I'm not seeing things, am I???"

"It looks like he knelt down..."

"I heard it's about becoming an apprentice, and they even kowtowed..."

After both parties left, people couldn't help but start discussing it.

The battle for the wolf king gradually came to an end. Taking advantage of the wolf king's leap and pounce, Big Grey suddenly fell to the ground, rolled over, and then bit the wolf king's neck.

This was a risky move by Big Grey. You see, a wolf's soft belly is one of its fatal weaknesses. Exposing it to the enemy's claws is practically suicide. Big Grey was feigning weakness to lure the wolf king, who was off the ground, into a trap, and then delivered a fatal blow.

To be honest, Big Grey didn't need to take any risks. With the advantage it had just gained, it could have won by playing it safe and steady. However, it got tired of fighting and lost patience with the wolf king, so it resorted to this unexpected little trick.

The wolf king is dead, and the pack welcomes a new leader...

Awooo...

The big gray wolf let out a long howl, proudly stepping on the old wolf king's corpse with its left foreleg, its eyes gleaming with disdain as it surveyed its people...

The wolves, tails between their legs, lay prostrate on the ground, their howls punctuated by whimpers of submission...

Awooo...

Big Grey let out another long howl, and the pack of wolves immediately scrambled to their feet, tucked their tails between their legs, and fled in a sorry state, disappearing into the forest...

Woof~

Seeing the wolves retreat, Big Grey immediately let out an excited howl. It sounded somewhat like a dog's bark, but the long, drawn-out howl had a wolfish quality. It wagged its stiff tail, picked up the wolf king's carcass, and trotted home with a smug look on its face, just like a lackey presenting a treasure to its master...

"My God, the old man was right, Big Grey has become the new wolf king..." Wang Zhengzhi watched from the side, speechless, and couldn't help but admire the old lecher's insight.

"Alright, alright, it's getting dark, everyone hurry home..." Zheng Dabao started shooing people away.

"Secretary, where are the wolves? What should we do?" A tourist looked at the wolf carcasses lying all over the ground not far away and couldn't help but swallow hard. Wolf meat is a nutritious food, after all.

"Yeah, Party Secretary, don't let us just watch! Even though we didn't contribute, we should at least cheer and encourage you, right?" a young woman said with a grin, holding a DV camera in her hand.

"Hehe, thank you all for your help. How about this, we'll all eat wolf meat today..." At this moment, a clear and elegant female voice rang out behind everyone. Everyone turned around and saw that the woman standing behind them was the mistress of the house, Wei Qingqing.

Behind her followed two young women, both shrewd and capable, like bodyguards; these were Er Zhu.

"Qingqing is back???" Zheng Dabao said with a smile.

"Yes, I didn't expect it to be so lively here..." Wei Qingqing smiled calmly, "Uncle Dabao, since it's so lively today, let's make it even more lively and have the village's hot pot chef come over..."

"Great..." Everyone cheered at Wei Qingqing's decision, whether they were villagers or tourists.

"Okay, okay, okay..." Zheng Dabao nodded repeatedly. The red table happened to be right in the yard, so everyone went home to grab their tools. Zheng Dabao also led a group of people to the brigade to get their belongings.

Just as everyone was getting ready for a good time, Big Black quietly ran towards the wolf carcasses scattered on the ground. It carefully sniffed the noses of each wolf carcass, checking whether each wolf was alive or dead. If it found any that were still breathing, it would sniff the base of their tails. Without exception, it bit and killed every male wolf, and picked up every female wolf and took it to its own backyard to await its owner's disposal.

"Did you notice??? All the dead ones are male wolves, and the ones that are kept are female wolves. This big black dog is quite the lecher..." A petite girl wearing a white scarf noticed the big black dog's behavior and whispered to her friend. Her name was Wang Jie, and she was a scholar who specialized in studying wild animals.

"No wonder you're a top student from the School of Biology. In this darkness, from this distance, you were able to tell their sexes..." Wang Jie's companion was a round-faced girl named Huang Mei. She also studied biology, but her research focused on ancient creatures...

"Nonsense, did you think I spent my four years of college just dating?" Wang Jie rolled her eyes and said.

"Hehe, it's unbelievable. You, Wang Jie, must have dated at least a thousand or eight hundred men in college. It's hard to imagine how someone like you graduated..." Huang Mei covered her mouth and chuckled.

"You know, I only date them to collect data and study the laws of human evolution. This is a very serious research topic..." Wang Jie said seriously, her face stern.

"Yes, yes, yes, a very serious research project, which has made you an old maid..." Huang Mei laughed even more happily, but she didn't dare to speak loudly, after all, there were people around.

"How boring..." Wang Jie was speechless. "You know, if any of them actually started dating me, it wouldn't be impossible for me to give myself to them. To be honest, I'm not that conservative..."

"Come on, I'd only go on dating you if I were tired of living..." Huang Mei glanced at Wang Jie and laughed even harder. "A crazy woman who tied someone up for research on the very first day of dating, who would want to marry her??? If I married you, you might just quietly dissect me in the middle of the night..."

"Um, really, nothing like that happened..." Wang Jie blushed with embarrassment upon hearing the word "dissection," which reminded her of her dormitory days. Her bunkmate had almost been dissected on the spot by her half-asleep self. Of course, luckily she had a flashlight with her, preventing any irreversible tragedy. Even so, it terrified the girl. It's said that the girl was so frightened that she suffered a mental breakdown and took a long time to recover from the psychological trauma. However, she absolutely refused to share a room with Wang Jie again.

"Hmph hmph hmph..." Huang Mei hummed twice, not saying anything aloud, but in her heart she kept muttering, "Yeah, that's not true. Ever since that incident, everyone in the dorm has locked their spoons and toothbrushes in their closets and is afraid to take them out..."

After escaping the crowd, the old lecher didn't go into the house. Instead, he went around into the mountains and forests. He hadn't forgotten his old partner and wanted to find out what had happened.

As he darted into the tree fork, the old lecher smelled a faint scent of blood. The scent was faint, but to the old lecher, whose nose was more sensitive than a police dog's, it was no different from a river or a sea of ​​blood.

When the old lecher smelled the blood, his expression changed drastically. Based on his familiarity with the old swindler, he was certain that the blood smell belonged to his old partner.

"Injured?? Impossible??? Who could hurt him???" Although the old lecher was full of disbelief, he became nervous. After all, everyone makes mistakes, and no one can guarantee that they won't capsize in a ditch.

The old lecher was worried. He twitched his nose slightly, identified a direction, and then flew over to search for it.

The forest was eerie at night, and the cold winter air gave it a distinctly underworld feel. But the old lecher didn't feel that way. He was a master swordsman who had spent his life walking a tightrope; how could he be affected by his surroundings? On the contrary, because he had reached a state of perfect harmony with nature, he blended seamlessly with his environment, giving him a chilling and menacing aura that was quite frightening.

"Senior, you truly deserve to be called the number one martial arts master in China. It is my great honor to meet you today..." Suddenly, a figure completely wrapped in black cloth appeared on a tree.

That's right, it flashed out, flashed out from the tree trunk, and the original tree trunk suddenly became much thinner. At this moment, the old lecher saw clearly that the tree was actually just a small tree about the size of a bowl.

"Hiss..." The old lecher gasped, his gaze fixed intently on the man in black before him. "You've actually reached the state of oneness with heaven and man??? Otherwise, you wouldn't have escaped my eyes..."

"You flatter me, senior. Your praise is the greatest affirmation for me. To receive your praise makes all the hardships I suffered in the past seem insignificant..." the man in black said with a hint of pride.

"Pretending, thinking you can fool me??? Naïve. Get out of my way right now..." The old lecher sneered disdainfully.

"Indeed, in terms of experience, I am far inferior to you, senior. However, you should not have any illusions. You can't change anything by going there now. Mr. Tian is being besieged by three of my top experts and he is probably not long for this world. You will only be collecting Mr. Tian's corpse if you go. I know that you two have been friends for decades and I am afraid that it is not appropriate for you to see such a bloody scene..." The man in black was quite eloquent.

The man in black's main purpose in showing up was to stall the old lecher and prevent him from going to support the old swindler...

"Get out of my way, or I'll step over your dead body..." The old lecher's expression was solemn, yet it carried a chilling murderous intent.

"If you can step over my dead body, it would be my honor..." The man in black chuckled, then drew a samurai sword from his waist. The sword was extremely thin and was wrapped around his waist.

"A samurai sword can actually be made into a soft sword, that's really impressive..." The old lecher's eyes narrowed slightly, and his words were as cold as ice.

"Modern technology can do many things that people couldn't do before, and this knife is no exception..." the man in black said smugly.

"Hmph, naive little brat, I suppose the wolves that attacked the village today were driven here by your animal scent, right? I only have two words to describe you: one is 'heavenly,' and the other is 'truthful.' Put them together..." The old lecher smiled slightly, his eyes flashing with divine light.

"Naive???" The man in black smiled wryly. "If you read those two words separately, I'd probably be overjoyed. Senior, you're quite humorous..."

"Am I funny??? Heh, those old bastards sending you alone to stop me was the biggest mistake they made..." The old lecher grinned menacingly.

"Heh, is that so??? I don't think so..." The man in black chuckled, assuming a defensive stance. With a slight flick of his wrist, his katana flashed a streak of white light. "Please, senior..."

"You still don't believe me???" The old lecher raised an eyebrow, a handful of pebbles appearing in his hand without his knowledge. With a flick of his wrist, the pebbles shot through the air, followed by a series of thuds as people fell from the surrounding trees and canopies. Blood gushed from the crevices in the rocks, clearly indicating that those hiding there had been killed by the pebbles.

"What are your thoughts at this moment? Do you think I'm wrong?" The old lecher looked at the man in black and grinned.

"Hehe, senior, you truly deserve to be called the number one martial arts master in China, but your methods are a bit too ruthless..." The man in black decisively abandoned any offensive or defensive stance, looking completely helpless.

"Hehehe... Ruthless??? No, I just killed a bunch of rats hiding in the shadows, and you, this little rat who gave up, will be the next one..." The old lecher chuckled.

"Senior, do you really intend to slaughter someone who has no ability to resist?" the man in black said, his tone filled with the helplessness of being at the mercy of others.

"I know you're stalling for time, but it's useless. Killing you is just a blink of an eye. Don't worry, I'll be very gentle and I promise you won't feel any pain..." the old lecher said with a sinister smile.

"Senior, your martial arts are so powerful, do you really intend to stifle a rising star? This would be a great loss to the martial arts world. I am only twenty-five years old this year, but I have reached the state of oneness with heaven and man, a genius that only appears once every thousand years. Do you really have the heart to kill me?" The black-clad man's tone was almost pleading.

"Trying to stall for time, huh? Heh, to tell you the truth, that handful of pebbles just now exhausted eighty percent of my true energy. If you had wanted to run away just now, with your level, I really wouldn't have been able to stop you. But now..." The old lecher's words were very discouraging.

"You..." The man in black's tone was immediately filled with anger, and one could imagine that his face under the mask must have been twisted and contorted with rage.

"Now that I've recovered ninety percent of my true energy, it's enough to kill you..." The old lecher chuckled, his expression extremely lewd. "You were wrong to think of me as a god. Throwing out so many pebbles and ensuring every single one hit its mark—that takes a lot of true energy and mental strength, and it's not something you can just talk about..."

"Senior is indeed brilliant. I admit defeat. I hope you will spare my life..." The man in black sighed dejectedly and threw the knife in his hand to the ground. The knife was also very resilient, and it did not make a sound when it fell to the ground.

"It's not hard to live, just take off your clothes..." the old lecher ordered.

"Senior, what...what do you want to do??? Do you have a taste for that kind of thing???" The man in black's voice was extremely surprised. "But it's fine, I hope that after you're done, you can keep your promise and let me go..." As he spoke, he turned his back and began to slowly take off his clothes.

"Hmph, that little rascal is indeed cunning..." The old lecher's voice was unusually cold, his eyes filled with murderous intent. In front of his toes, a pebble had appeared out of nowhere. With a slight push of his toes, the old lecher sent the pebble flying.

The pebble flew at breakneck speed toward the man in black's lower back; its hard body and powerful potential energy instantly pierced through the man's lumbar vertebrae.

"Ah..." The man in black screamed, losing all feeling in his lower body, and collapsed to the ground.

"You little rascal, trying to play tricks on me? You're still too green..." The old lecher walked up to the man in black, reached around his waist, and pulled out another samurai sword. So, it was a pair.

"You...despicable..." Large beads of sweat rolled down the man in black's forehead, and his gaze toward the old lecher was filled with resentment and venom.

"Hmph, kid, do you know where you went wrong? Eighty percent of your true energy? Do you really think I'm a god? How could I recover in the blink of an eye? I need at least half an hour of meditation and three hours of stance training. Just now, I was at my weakest in my life. If you had risked your life to kill me, I might not have been able to escape..." The old lecher looked down at the man in black with a playful smile on his face.
