160 It's a Win-Win Situation!

"Boss, how about we follow them, and then you know..."

Guo Jin said to Deng Huan.

"I'm listening..."

"Let that Fei Bao Xing guy finds all the key. When the time is right, we stole it from them. With all their keys in our hands, the girls have no choice but to do what we say."

Deng Huan, "..."

"How about it?"

"Guo Jin, are you stupid?"

"Ehhh..."

"You basically want to blackmail them, right?" said Deng Huan. "How could I do that to Chang Miao? She will hate me!"

"That's right!" the second lackey said.

"Guo Jin, please think before you speak." the third lackey chimed in.

But, Guo Jin just smiled although he was under pressure. "You don't understand, boss. You're always being a gentleman in front of Chang Miao. But, does it produce any result?"

"Ugghhh..." Deng Huan cannot say anything.

"Do you not realise? Chang Miao doesn't like you. She's only using you. Just like the test from last month, she let you help her, but refuse when you're making an advance on her."

"Don't spout nonsense!" Deng Huan said.

"Ohh! Don't believe me? If you confessed to Chang Miao now, I bet she will not accept you nor reject you. She will make some kind of excuses so that she can use you in the future!"

"You're lying!"

Guo Jin laughed. "Keke... You can try! Let's collect more keys as a gift for her. Even with that, I'm sure she won't even look in your eyes."

Deng Huan's face darkened as he said, "...And then, what?"

"If I'm right, we can use my drug to target her and make her yours as an act of revenge. If you can't make a girl yours after being nice, you just have to force it."

Deng Huan, "..."

"I have it all prepared. I just slipped a thread with my Qi on it into Fei Bao Xing's pocket. With this, we can track their group whenever we want."

[Kekeee... Deng Huan, work for me! Make them have their attention against you, then I will reap the benefits afterwards.]

***

[Fast... He's too fast!]

This thought suddenly emerged inside Chang Miao and the others mind. Who would have thought the normal-looking boy who everyone saw as Deng Huan's lackey has such skill. Did he perhaps hides his power and waited until the right moment to reveal himself? Or, they just never noticed Guo Jin was this skilful. It does not matter anymore, but the fact he has his hands on Guan Ru Na's neck was dangerous.

"Ru Na!" Chang Miao said without much of a thought. "Release her, you fiend!"

"Keke... That depends..." Guo Jin threw the bottle containing the drug to the ground near Chang Miao. As he did so, quickly his left arm tightened the hold on Guan Run Na, then brought the dagger in his right hand closer to her neck.

"Ugghh..." Guan Ru Na cried. "Forget about me... Just run!"

"Ru Na!"

Chang Miao shuddered but took the bottle from the ground. She did not know what kind of drug it is, yet, she could tell it was not good. She had no choice but to follow his command.

As she opened the bottle, a pungent smell of medicine emerged from inside. As the red pill fell into her hand, her eyes quivered, and hesitation followed into her mind.

Guan Ru Na was dear to her, but there's no guarantee Guo Jin would release her even after she ate the pill. Moreover, what if it killed her or contained some kind of horrible effect, then she could never accomplish what she comes here in the first place. Then, she would never realise the revenge she risked her life into.

"What's wrong?" Guo Jin said. "Don't worry, it won't kill you!"

"No, don't... Just run away!" Guan Ru Na cried.

"Shut Up!"

As the hostage in his hand screamed, Guo Jin once again retighten his hold. His weapon shallowly stabbed into her neck, injuring her but not enough to kill her. Red blood dripped to the dagger and fell into the ground.

"Ru Na!"

"Kekeke... Don't make this any harder! Even if you run away, you'll still die because you don't have enough points. However, if you took the pill, not only I promise to release her, but I'll give you more points. It's a win-win situation!"

Those words made Chang Miao realised the whole situation. What Guo Jin said was correct, there's no choice left. The only way for her to live was to consume the drug.

Guan Ru Yi's face darkened as she helplessly saw Chang Miao and Guan Ru Na's situation.

Fei Bao Xing who knew the drug's effect sighed out of despair. But, there's nothing he could do in the current situation. Someone with a broken meridian did not have the power to oppose Guo Jin.

Should he just let a woman in front of him fall into a helpless state? It is a pity, but most likely, Chang Miao will be degraded and become Guo Jin's slave. If only the one who took the pill immune to any kind of drugs...

[Wait... Then it should be someone beautiful, immune, and also nearby. There's actually someone who matched that criteria!]

"Wait!" Fei Bao Xing shouted just before it entered Chang Miao's mouth.

"What the hell! You dare to interrupt..." Guo Jin shouted back. "This better be good or else..."

"Calm down..." Fi Bao Xing calmly said, "I just want to tell you that the pill will be wasted on someone mediocre like Chang Miao."

"You call Chang Miao as mediocre? Either you must be blind or crazy! You think you can find someone prettier than her?"

Although they were enemies, even the girls could not help but agreed with Guo Jin. Someone more beautiful than Chang Miao can be counted with both hands. It's basically almost impossible to find one, even if he did, it would take a long time and would not be worth the wait.

Furthermore, all he did was angering Chang Miao and Guo Jin. No woman no matter how ugly she is would like to be called mediocre, this includes Chang Miao. It does not need to be said about Guo Jin, he was angry that Fei Bao Cing was delaying the inevitable.

But, surprisingly Fei Bao Xing was calm. His confidence exuded and made the others rethink.

"I guarantee... If you wait, just 10 minutes. You will not regret it!"

"..." Guo Jin saw the light in Fei Bao Xing's eyes. It did not seem like he's lying. Besides, even if he did, it's only ten minutes, The plan will resume again after.

But, Guo Jin was too crafty. He calculated everything from A to Z. There's always a chance of someone strong coming and beat him up. Or even, Fei Bao Xing could lay a trap and attack him when he's defenceless. In short, even only ten minutes was too risky.

"You're lying!" Guo Jin said.

"I can prove it to you. Do you have a brush and paper?"

"..."

Quickly, Fei Bao Xing drew a woman's portrait on the paper. Although it was only an illustration, everyone could see that the woman in the drawing was indeed beautiful and stunning.

Guo Jin, "..."

Guo Jin was amazed, even just the drawing, he could tell that it exceeds his expectation. If it's this woman, then even 1 year will be worth the wait.

"You got 10 minutes." Guo Jin said.

Fei Bao Xing's face brightened. Now he only just have to wait until she comes.

"Ahhh... What happened? There's no Qi, I can't feel a thing!" Suddenly, Guan Ru Yi said something weird. Usually, every cultivator can feel the Qi everywhere like the ground and air. This connection between the Qi outside and inside the body was what makes someone able to use their power.

If what Guan Ru Yi said was true, then it makes her unable to use her skill nor technique. Basically, she became not a cultivator.

"Ah... Me too!" It was Chang Miao. After what Guan Ru Yi said, she also realised that there really was no Qi.

Everyone except Fei Bao XIng who can't even feel Qi was weirded out. They felt afraid and strange at the same time.

"Kekkeee... It was me!" Guo Jin laughed. "With the treasure in my hand, I can make the Qi disappear."

Of course, Guo Jin was not stupid. There's a chance the woman she's been waiting would not come. And, just like previously, what if it's someone else who's able to defeat him. As such, Guo Jin was willing to use the treasure which makes all the Qi go away from within 10 metres radius.

As it was an ancient treasure, there was a time limit and number of usages. It was too precious that did not dare use it carelessly. But, if it was for the woman in the drawing, it was worth it.

The girls' face became pale, they thought the same thing. That Fei Bao Xing was bluffing and only buying some time, while he makes a plan to defeat Guo Jin. But, if there's no Qi, then Fei Bao XIng also could not do anything.

Fei Bao Xing himself also understood the reason why the treasure was used. With Guan Ru Na in Guo Jin's hand, even without Qi, he could still easily killed her. Thus, no one can do anything.

Although the others were staring daggers at him, Fei Bao Xing was calm. There's no reason to panic, he's not bluffing. He even smiled, "She should come soon..."

Just as predicted in less than five minutes, the person they're waiting for has arrived.

"I'm back!" It was Jun Yin Ying, she seemed glad that she has washed off the smell from her hands.

"Huh... Weird..." Jun Yin Ying said. "There's no Qi..."

"She's here!" Guo Jin shouted in excitement. The woman in the drawing has come to life. And in person, she's even more appealing. She's just like a goddess!

"Kekekeke... I'll make her mine!"
