Li Bing’s pretty face flushed red and she quickly let go of Jiang Nan!
Zhong Yingxue and the others were stunned!
His heart literally exploded, and one kiss saved him?
Diamond-rank healing is just too terrifying!
“I’m telling you, don’t mess around with this upgraded Blood Incineration!”
“Although the after-effects are gone, the load on your heart and blood is enormous!”
“Even at 50%, never exceed three minutes! Otherwise your blood will literally burn out! Then we’re in real trouble!”
Jiang Nan nodded. Something this strong couldn’t be free, right?
A true three-minute man?
Blood burning out? Could little ginseng replace it?
He quickly dismissed the idea. Dying would be bad!
Why are both my cheats the “die if you misuse them” kind?
Want to use hacks? First hang yourself?
“How do I fully activate it then?”
Li Bing rolled her eyes!
“You have the nerve to ask? How long has it been? Still gold one! Your SSS talent is ashamed to follow you!”
“Look at your teammates!”
Xia Yao giggled. “I’m gold three now!”
Zhong Yingxue: “Gold two…”
Wu Liang: “Gold two too…”
Jiang Nan: ∑(°口°๑)
“When the hell did you all level up?!”
Everyone couldn’t help laughing!
“While you were out being evil!”
Jiang Nan: Not again! I got left behind again?
I didn’t slack off!
Li Bing laughed. “As you level up, your physical stats improve too!”
“Want full activation? Level up properly!”
Jiang Nan gritted his teeth. For his emperor engine, time to grind!
“Open your mouth!”
“Huh? What?”
Li Bing blinked, and Jiang Nan had already stuffed three Supreme Beauty Pills into her mouth!
“Your reward! Thanks! We’re off~”
Li Bing, stunned: He really gave me candy?
Pretty sweet!
But how can it compare to my lollipops?
30 minutes later…
Li Bing walked out of the bathroom, touching her face, eyes full of disbelief!
“Oh my god! Is… is this me? How am I this beautiful? I’m gonna cry from my own beauty!”
Mirror-Li Bing was breathtaking. Skin smooth and glowing, features even more enchanting!
Dark circles gone!
Suddenly remembering the “candy” Jiang Nan gave her, she spun in excitement!
For any girl, this was the ultimate gift!
“Hehe! So nice!”
She recalled Jiang Nan’s instructions, pulled out her phone, and called!
“Xiao Zhen, you actually have a terminal illness called ‘Jiang-Nan-Phobia Syndrome’!”
Xiao Zhen nearly cried. “I knew it! Doctor! Save me! What do I do?!”
Li Bing: “All your physical symptoms are caused by your subconscious! Mental trauma! Understand?”
“For example, you did something you consciously think is right, but your subconscious thinks is wrong!”
“So every night, your subconscious comes out to punish you!”
Silence on the other end!
Xiao Zhen couldn’t help thinking of Xiong Er!
These past days, he had wondered if he was really right.
Xiong Er never killed or ate anyone. He’d been friendly in the academy!
Spirit beasts did kill his parents and sister. That hatred was carved into his bones!
For years, his only wish was to kill every spirit beast he saw!
But people have good and bad, so do beasts…
Was he really right?
But if not this, where to put this hatred?
“Doctor? What should I do?”
Li Bing laughed. “You already know the answer! Do what you think is right!”
Xiao Zhen hung up in silence!
Li Bing murmured, “Hope it helps him. Xiao Nan isn’t always evil! Hehe!”
…
That night, everyone gathered around the hotpot table in the living room!
*Knock knock knock!*
Zhong Yingxue opened the door and froze!
It was Xiao Zhen!
He fought the terror in his heart, legs shaking!
Eyes squeezed shut, he bowed 90° to Xiong Er!
“Xiong Er! Everyone! I’m sorry! I was too extreme that day. I shouldn’t have attacked Xiong Er! I…”
“If you’re still angry, beat me up! I won’t fight back!”
Everyone stared in shock at the apologetic Xiao Zhen!
Only Jiang Nan’s lips curled into a smile!
Xiong Er scratched his head. “I stopped being angry long ago! Still want to beat? Haven’t we been beating every day—mmph!”
Wu Liang: !!!
Bear-tackled and covered Xiong Er’s mouth! Almost exposed!
Xiao Zhen: ???
Beating every day?
Something’s off!
Jiang Nan grinned. Looks like Doctor Li’s prescription worked!
Xiao Zhen came to apologise because he figured some things out!
“It’s fine. Come eat?”
Xiao Zhen shivered and hid by the door. “No no! I’ll head back!”
He turned to leave!
“Hey, brother!”
Xiao Zhen stopped!
Jiang Nan: “Don’t let the past control the present! If your hatred has nowhere to go, look up at the stars!”
“This world is far more wonderful than you imagine!”
Xiao Zhen looked up at the sky!
Deep night, brilliant stars!
Absolutely beautiful!
He smiled. “Thanks!”
Everyone watched Xiao Zhen leave under the dazzling night sky!
“Wow, Xiao Nan! That sounded so profound!”
“Today… every day you’re a little handsome!”
“So why look at the stars? Trying to sneak the beef while we’re distracted?”
Jiang Nan: (๐￢ٹ￢)
“Ah! My fish balls!”
…
Next morning, Xiao Zhen sat on his bed, solemn!
Gathered his courage and lifted the blanket!
Tears of joy! Finally no bed-shitting today!
In the following days, Jiang Nan entered hardcore training mode!
The academy had cultivation rooms!
Runes on the floor similar to the Jade Dragon Spirit Ruins cave, gathering spirit energy!
Much higher concentration than outside, and you could slot spirit pearls to boost it further!
Jiang Nan went every day this month. Even Vigour baths went from once a day to twice!
Two days ago, he successfully broke through to gold three! Even stronger!
This afternoon he was heading to the cultivation room when he got a call. Package at the gatehouse?
Jiang Nan, puzzled. He hadn’t ordered anything online recently?
At the pickup point, it was indeed for him. International express from the faraway USA!
The cardboard box was crushed flat, pretty heavy!
He teleported back to the villa with it, eyes shining!
Could it be treasure?
He unleashed his legendary rabid-dog unboxing technique!
Opened it and instantly petrified!
Three bricks! Empty milk tea cups! Used tissues, blood-stained bandages, three white socks, underwear, snack wrappers…
Just a box of trash?!
Who’s this evil?
Mailed a bag of garbage all the way from America?!
Jiang Nan rummaged!
“Used ones! Too much!”
“Hm? What’s this?”
Among the trash, he found a small metal USB drive sealed in plastic!
With a little note!
Jiang Nan frowned. Something felt wrong!
On the note:
Keep this safe. Don’t tell anyone. You’re the only one I trust!
Don’t try to contact me! Absolutely don’t!
I’ll find you in a while…
—Katrina!
Jiang Nan, stunned!
The blonde beauty mailed it? Wasn’t she developing in Russia? Why America?
The trash was camouflage for the USB?
What’s so important?
Needs this much caution?
The handwriting was messy, clearly written in a rush!
Jiang Nan’s brow furrowed deep. He didn’t throw away a single piece of trash, stored the whole box in alternate space!
Took the metal USB to his room, ready to see what the hell it was!
