(Loudly pleading for monthly votes, brothers and sisters! I'm asking for monthly votes again! Don't be shy, shower me with your votes, don't be afraid to overwhelm me...)

"You..." The man in black was filled with resentment, but he forced a smile. "It doesn't matter if I die. Mr. Arita will be buried with me. I'll have no regrets in this life..."

"Then I'll just have to make sure you die with your eyes wide open..." the old lecher chuckled. "As long as I'm there, my old buddy's life won't be in danger, believe it or not???"

"What will you use to save Mr. Tian, ​​senior?" The man in black chuckled, enduring the excruciating pain.

"Based on my reputation, I am recognized as the number one martial arts master in China, or even the number one master in the world. As long as I show up, those three old bastards will retreat on their own. They would never dare to fight me..."

"That's right, senior is a master of Xingyi Quan, and his moves are sure to kill. However, senior is already at his limit. I'm afraid that senior and Mr. Tian will be going to the Yellow Springs together..." the man in black said mockingly.

"Hehe, I'm just an empty shell now, you know that, I know that too, but those three old bastards don't know that..." the old lecher chuckled wickedly.

"No, I know. Even if I send three experts, they'll find out. If you don't believe me, you can look at the diamond on my ring..." the man in black chuckled.

"Not good..." The old lecher's expression changed drastically. He reached out and broke the black-clad man's finger, forcibly removing his ring. He held the diamond up to his eyes and, sure enough, saw the tiny device running inside.

"Hehehe, originally, we just wanted to see Mr. Tian off, but we didn't expect Mr. Du and Mr. Tian to have such a deep friendship that he actually wanted to accompany Mr. Tian on his journey. Their sincere friendship is truly admirable..." The man in black didn't care about the pain of his severed finger at all.

Hahahahahahaha...

The old lecher threw the ring into the distance and then laughed loudly: "You think I've really lost 80% of my power??? Hmph, I said that just to distract those bastards who are besieging my old friend and relieve some of the pressure on him. You think, hmph hmph hmph..." But his expression was somewhat blustering.

"Hehe, senior is indeed brilliant, you actually guessed that I have another communicator..." The man in black pulled off his mask, revealing his face. It was clear that he also had an earring-shaped communicator pinned to his earlobe.

"What do you mean???" The old lecher was shocked.

"Come quickly, he's trying to escape..." the man in black said calmly.

"You...you little beast..." The old lecher panicked and hurriedly turned and ran away.

"Hahahaha, to see the world's number one expert flee in disarray, it's not a wasted life..." The man in black laughed loudly, but his breath grew weaker and weaker. He had lost too much blood, and there had been no timely treatment to stop the bleeding...

Soon, a rustling sound came from the forest, caused by someone moving quickly through it.

"Where???" An aged voice rang in the black-clad man's ears. He was dizzy from blood loss and struggled to open his eyes, only to see three black shadows flickering before him. He knew it was an illusion, but he didn't panic or cry for help. He could feel his life slipping away, and he knew that even if he were saved, he would spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair, which would be worse than death... With his last bit of strength, he raised his hand and pointed in the direction the old lecher had fled.

whoosh...

The black shadow looked in the direction the man in black pointed, then vanished in a flash. Only the rustling sound in the forest gradually faded away until it could no longer be heard.

On his deathbed, a smug smile appeared on the man in black's lips. Come to think of it, two of the three top masters in the Chinese martial arts world were to be buried with him. What an honor that was!

"what……"

Just as his consciousness was about to fade, a piercing scream rang out. The man in black felt even more smug. Listen, listen! This was the death scream of the number one martial arts master in China! How powerful it was! How exhilarating and pleasing to the eye!

But why does that voice sound so familiar? But none of that matters anymore…

"Young man, thank you..." A familiar yet unfamiliar voice rang in his ears. The man in black struggled to open his eyes, but the figure in front of him made him terrified. Although there were five figures in front of him due to the illusion, the face was not that of the familiar expert from the sect, but rather the target he thought was doomed.

"Why are you thanking me???" The man in black uttered a hoarse voice, his eyes wide with anger. He had already guessed the reason.

"Because you helped me a lot, now I'm going to rescue my old partner. You can just stay here and sleep. Sigh, with one less of the three, I'm more confident in rescuing that old geezer..." The old lecher shook his head and disappeared into the forest in a flash.

"Hehehehe..." The man in black died instantly, his eyes bulging with anger, unable to close them in death.

That old lecher is really wicked...

The forest was unusually dark, eerie like a ghost town...

"Tianqiaosheng, you might as well surrender. If you surrender, I guarantee you will receive excellent treatment..." The person, who was completely wrapped in black, did not sound old, but his voice was unusually hoarse, as if he had swallowed red-hot coals and burned his vocal cords.

He held a samurai sword in his hand, and although his sword-wielding movements were few, they were exceptionally swift and ruthless. Every strike was incredibly cunning, aimed precisely at the old swindler's vital points...

"Old ghost, you know, that guy surnamed Tian has done all sorts of despicable things, but he's never been a traitor..." The old swindler was now struggling to stay afloat, his body already covered in countless cuts from sharp blades.

Given his skill level, it would have been impossible for him to be injured like this. However, if he were ambushed by three experts of similar skill level, it would have been quite remarkable that he could survive.

The old swindler had just stepped into the fork in the tree when he was met with an iron fist. Of course, with the old swindler's strength, even if he couldn't withstand it head-on, he could still dodge it. However, just as he dodged the iron fist by relying on his agility, a blade flashed behind him.

Faced with attacks from both sides, the old swindler was both shocked and furious, but he had no choice but to deal with it with all his might. In the instant he dodged the iron fist, his toes touched the ground slightly, and his body rose into the air like a swallow, then looked for a blind spot for the two attackers to intercept him, and was about to slip away.

However, the old swindler was too naive and failed to properly assess the shamelessness of his opponent. Just when he thought he had escaped the encirclement, another figure appeared and blocked his way. Relying on his unexpected speed, which was almost comparable to that of the old swindler, the figure slashed the old swindler's left arm.

The three men formed a circle around the old man, but they were clearly wary of his desperate attempt to escape. They adopted a strategy of surrounding him from three sides while leaving one side exposed, intentionally or unintentionally leaving the side facing the depths of the forest untouched. They then launched a frenzied attack, keeping the old man on his toes and giving him no chance to call for reinforcements.

And so, the three of them slowly lured the old swindler deeper into the woods...

"Mr. Tian, ​​we still hope you will seriously consider this. After all, it's better to live a miserable life than to die. As long as you surrender, we guarantee that we will treat your family and descendants well..." Another man in black, wielding an iron fist, spoke in a deep, booming voice, clearly full of energy.

"The three top masters in Japan ganged up on an old man like me. I should feel honored, but I also feel a bit annoyed. It's really not pleasant to be bitten by three worms..." Although the old swindler had lost a lot of blood, his mind was still clear and his movements were still nimble. The excruciating pain in his body was the best sobering agent.

"Stubborn to the end, you've lost almost half your total blood volume. I suppose the reason you've been able to hold on until now is related to that fried egg dish you ate, right?" The black-clad man wielding a katana spoke in a hoarse voice, as raucous as a night owl.

"Hmph..." The old swindler sneered disdainfully. He wasn't in a hurry to escape now, not because he wasn't afraid of death, but because he knew from the moment they sent one of their men to carry out their mission that his old partner would arrive soon. It was a feeling that as long as his old partner arrived, everything would be fine. If he hadn't been ambushed and injured in the arm, he would have already killed those three guys who dared to gang up on him.

"You don't seem to be in any hurry at all???" The man in black, who was wielding an iron fist, retreated to the side to rest for a while. They were now using a strategy of attrition to wear down the old swindler's strength and blood. As long as the old swindler's strength and blood were exhausted, they would win. There was no need to fight desperately.

"What's the rush? The moon is hazy tonight, it's the perfect time to admire the bright moon. Such a beautiful scene, if we're in such a hurry, wouldn't the fairies in the palace laugh at us?" The old swindler laughed and said.

"You seem to have quite the leisurely and refined taste, but unfortunately, it's the beginning of the month..." The man in black, wielding a samurai sword, slashed vertically at the old swindler. After the old swindler dodged the blow, he didn't pursue him but retreated to the side to rest as well.

"Hehe, you want to rest??? You'll have to see if I agree first..." The two never expected that the old swindler would be so persistent now, and they were both shocked and had no choice but to join the battle again.

The old swindler's attacks weren't fierce, but they forced the two to deal with them with all their might, because if they were even slightly distracted, his otherwise insignificant moves would take their lives.

"Aunt Da Bao, how did today's results go?" On the way back to Zhengjia Village, sitting on the spacious sofa in the back of the car, Yang Ming asked Zhu Yuan.

"It's alright, we lost to them quite a few times, and they were embarrassed by their wins..." Zhu Yuan said with a smile.

"Wow, Auntie, you came up with such a brilliant idea, I'm truly impressed..." Yang Ming smiled and gave Zhu Yuan a thumbs up, praising her sincerely.

"It's nothing. My aunt remarried and has seen the coldness and warmth of human relationships. She understands people's thoughts a little..." Zhu Yuan's expression suddenly became somewhat lonely.

"Hehe, you call this 'a little knowledge'? You could be a psychology expert..." Yang Ming laughed.

"Hehe, you flatter me..." Zhu Yuan said with a hint of pride, "It was quite a lot of work, and I'm a little tired..."

"Auntie, how do you feel after taking the medicine?" Yang Ming asked casually, knowing that Zhu Yuan didn't want to continue the topic, after hearing her say that.

"You know what, you've got some good stuff. After eating this scrambled egg, my whole body felt burning hot, especially my stomach, it was scalding hot, like there was a big fireball inside..." Zhu Yuan said excitedly, feeling the increase in power in his body.

"Hehe..." Yang Ming chuckled, "I added some medicinal herbs to this scrambled eggs. The medicinal effects haven't fully kicked in yet. Auntie will be quite surprised when she sees it tomorrow morning..."

"You can become as young and beautiful as your mother???" Zhu Yuan's eyes lit up as she sat down next to Yang Ming.

"Of course it can be..." Yang Ming said with a smile.

"Yang Ming, tell your aunt, can those two old folks really still have children?" Zhu Yuan asked.

"Of course they can. I estimate that their physical condition can recover to that of a 40-year-old. Do you think a 40-year-old can have children?" Yang Ming said.

"Yes, definitely..." Zhu Yuan nodded. "Then, could you give some of this medicine to your uncle? Look at your uncle, he's not even forty yet, but he looks like he's in his fifties or sixties. Of course, I know this medicine isn't cheap, and I won't take advantage of you. Even if I have to take out a loan, I won't let you down..."

"Auntie, there's no need for that. Although this medicine is indeed quite precious in everyone's eyes, it's something that can be mass-produced for me. When we get back, I'll get a portion for Uncle Zheng Yu. You can take it back with you. Put the money aside for now, as long as you grant me one request..." Yang Ming said.

"Yang Ming, thank you so much! What's your request? As long as it's something I can do, I'll definitely do it..." Zhu Yuan said with delight.

"Auntie, you can definitely do my request. As for what the request is, I can't say right now, but it's definitely something you can do..." Yang Ming said.

"Okay... a promise is a promise. I will never go back on my word. As for what you want, I won't ask..." Zhu Yuan nodded readily.

She knew Yang Ming didn't have bad intentions. Of course, even if he did, so what? He could just deny it; anyone can lie…

"Hehe, Auntie is truly a heroine..." Yang Ming gave a thumbs up, "Her sincerity towards Uncle Zheng Yu is truly touching..."

"Hehe, I can guess what changes Auntie will experience after taking the medicine. She'll definitely look younger. Think about it, Auntie is not even forty this year. If she looks younger, she'll look like she's in her teens or twenties. If your uncle looks too old, when we go out, people will think we're father and daughter. How embarrassing would that be?" Zhu Yuan winked at Yang Ming, her face full of slyness.

"Hehehe, Auntie is joking..." Yang Ming laughed.

"I'm not kidding, your auntie is actually quite concerned about her image..." Zhu Yuan said with a smile.

"My medicine doesn't cost much. I originally planned to sell it on a large scale, but it's too potent and the changes after taking it are too obvious, so I haven't dared to put it on the market. How about this, Auntie, how many people are in your family? I'll give you a few portions. You just need to be my demonstration household..." Yang Ming said.

"A model household???" Zhu Yuan looked puzzled.

"Yes, it's a model household. After eating scrambled eggs, your body will definitely undergo obvious changes. Auntie, all you have to do is help me promote it like a model..." Yang Ming said.

"What model??? A promoter is a promoter..." Zhu Yuan rolled her eyes at Yang Ming. "There's a saying that good wine needs no bush. Your stuff is so good, it'll probably be sold out as soon as it hits the market. You don't need us to promote it for you???"

"Hehe, Auntie should understand that this world is a world of rules. As long as you live in this world, you have to abide by the rules..." Yang Ming laughed.

He was acting on a whim today because Zhu Yuan's performance was truly unexpected. Yang Ming even felt that if given a stage, she could achieve more than Zhang Yingning. In his opinion, Zhang Yingning wasn't that amazing; her grasp of people's hearts was incredibly subtle.

"You're right, but I know you don't mean me any harm, so I'll help you..." Zhu Yuan was a shrewd person and immediately analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of being a caretaker. However, she still took on the job. After all, such good medicine would definitely not be sold at a bargain price even if it entered the market later, but Yang Ming was providing it to her for free, and she could even decide the quantity as she pleased.

Is there anything more precious in this world than youth and life?

The downside is that it might make people envious and cause some unexpected things to happen.

"Thank you so much, Auntie. Actually, this job isn't dangerous at all. Suddenly becoming younger will make anyone curious. If anyone asks, just say it's the medicine I gave you. But you can only sell it on my behalf. I want to sell it for one million per dose. As for how much you can sell it for, that depends on your skills, Auntie..." Yang Ming's words were very clear: I only want one million in profit from the scrambled eggs. As for the selling price, you can set it yourself. Any extra money is yours.

"This..." Zhu Yuan was stunned. She hadn't expected such a huge windfall to suddenly fall on her head. A single dose of medicine was selling for a million. Anyone who could afford to spend a million on a single dose of medicine would not hesitate to spend hundreds of thousands more. Yang Ming ate meat, and she could drink some soup and be full.

"What's wrong, Auntie? You're not satisfied?" Yang Ming asked.

"Of course not, it's just that Auntie thinks you and Zhang Yingning are working together quite well, right? If you suddenly start working with me, won't she have some opinions about you?" Zhu Yuan expressed her concerns.

"My business with Aunt Zhang is in the food ingredients sector, not medicine. Besides, Aunt Zhang would never dare to do this kind of business..." Yang Ming said.

"Oh???" Zhu Yuan exclaimed in surprise, "Why???"

"Aunt Zhang is already a standout in the hotel industry. If she adds a rejuvenating drug to her hotel, then her hotel will reach a disturbing level, especially since her ability to protect herself is not very strong..." Yang Ming said.

The nail that sticks out gets hammered down; a strong wind breaks a tall tree.

Everyone understands this principle: everything must be done in moderation. Too much of anything is as bad as too little. If Zhang Yingning really dares to take over the business of the anti-aging drug, then the Yingning Hotel's bankruptcy is not far off.
