Meanwhile, Chang Wu is still boiling with anger when he left the Xie Manor, he can't stop cursing to the air he can't contain his irritation so he vents his anger to the innocent people who past by. He hits an old man who sells candy on the small stall, just because his grandson accidentally dirty Chang Wu robe, he also hit people who try to reason with him.
People run away from him, they open the path for him to leave they not dare to say or look at him, Chang Wu mood slightly better after he bullies a few people then suddenly he heard someone called him.
"Hey STUPID!!"
He frowns as he wondering if this sound is calling him, but he is not stupid.
"Yes, is you, STUPID COME HERE!" someone called him again.
The voice coming from the alley "Who's there?" he shouted.
But no one answer, then from behind the wall he saw a man mocked at him "Hey, D*CKHEAD!"
He becomes furious, no one dares blatantly mocked him since he become Xie Hua Ling right-hand man "Who are you, who dare mocking me?!" he pointing his finger.
"Come here if you dare!" the strange man taunts him with a sneer.
Normally people would know this obvious trap but because he's overwhelmed by anger and overestimated his strength he doesn't care the obvious sign and took the long strides to the alley "Don't Run!" he warned the strange man.
The strange man laughs and runs to the deep alley, Chang Wu chassed the mysterious man from the alley to the deep woods. He only stops when he lost the mysterious man figure then he realizes he was in the woods surrounded by a tall tree then fear creep into his heart, he can't felt something very bad is about to happen to him.
He feel cold sweat on his back, the quietness sends a chill to his spine, Chang Wu gulped as he becomes nervous and his heartbeat like a drum, he turn around just when he prepares to leave something very strong and hard hit the back of his head, he stumbles to the ground then everything become dark. He only hears a faint voice said "GOTCHA!"

When Zhao Li Xin greets by Mong Yi, he remembers something "Do you know anyone with name Yu...Su Bai?" he asked.
"Yu Su Bai?" Mong Yi frown then he recalled something "Milord, do you mean Yu Bai Su?" he gently corrects his Lord who has a grave problem remembering other people name.
"Yes, that one" Zhao Li Xin nods as the name sound more familiar.
"Yu Bai Su is Wu San Bo subordinated his hobby is painting but the man character is a little bit weird he only sell his painting to the people he likes," said Mong Yi.
"Are we have a lot of his painting?" Zhao Li Xin who never pay attention his surrounding was not sure.
"Yes, all of Milord Manor and underground Palace have his painting on the wall, he insists that only his painting is worthy for Milord's eyes, he is one annoying man" Mong Yi didn't hide his annoyance.
"Is he sold his painting to the fourth Xie?"
Mong Yi chuckle "He does Milord, but that painting is the failure one, Bai Su make that painting when he totally drunk and force to paint by Master Bei Li Yan, the painting is too awful that Bai Su almost destroy it but Master Wu sab Bo persuade him to sell it to master Xie instead"
"How much he sold?"
"As much as the profit Fu Yun restaurant that we send to Xie Hua Ling previously" Mong Yi grin widely.
"Oh.." he answer briefly with indifferent face.
At the Hei Shen sect there is one money-grubber called Wu san Bo who lives by the motto 'There is no loss in business only delayed profit, small profits, and big profits!' with this motto how could Hei Shen sect ever failed in business. So when Xie Hua Ling try to robes Zhao Li Xin's income he accidentally touches Wu San Bo reverse scale.
He knew Xie Hua Ling obsession with Yu Bai Su painting and so he used the trashy painting of Yu Bai Su and make him sell that painting to Xie Hua Ling with exorbitant price, someone vain like Xie Hua Ling must not let this chance get away although he tight in money but he wouldn't able to refuse the temptation to acquire a treasure.
And thus how the poor Xie Hua Ling got scammed by the man he never met before.

"Yuan Yuan" he called her with an endearing tone that not suit his age.
Mo Ning Yuan smiles sweetly at the old man there's no trace of disgust on her eyes it's little wonder if she hated that old man perhaps not even her bother to question herself.
Mo Ning Yuan size up the elder Xie but she didn't see any change on him only his eyes seem dulled compare the first time their met. It is not easy to seduce someone like elder Xie if not because of the help of the demon parasite she doubts it would be this smooth.
"Yuan Yuan what are you looking at, are you miss me?" the old man grabs her tiny waist then he pulls her closer.
"You such a brute" she pretends to complain but her coquettish voice-only stirred the old man's d.e.s.i.r.e. The old man has a fetish with a young woman, this is a d.e.s.i.r.e he burry in his heart and never lets it see the light because he knew the consequences. Elder Xie can't have d.e.s.i.r.ed with the women above eighteen, he like a younger woman, the younger the better for him.
But as an honorable elder how could he let anyone know about this and so he hides his vile d.e.s.i.r.e deep inside his heart only when the urged is so strong he would kidnap a poor young woman who have low status or young courtesan to fulfill his d.e.s.i.r.e then he kill the innocent young woman, he can't let any loose ends.
It was at that time that Mo Ning Yuan caught him in the act, she released the Demon Parasite once the parasite enter the old man body he deemed to be Mo Ning Yuan puppet, the parasite created strong obsession toward Mo Ning Yuan and to increased the effect she used her body to fulfill the man atrocious d.e.s.i.r.e.
As a young woman, she should be reluctant to sleep with an old man like elder Xie but her body was long ruined because of her older brother and Xie Hua Ling she knew her future is bleak. It was also Xie Hua Ling fault when he poison Xi Mong Gi he told Mo Ning Yuan that he gives Mo Xin Gi elixir to help him increased his cultivation, unbeknown to Xie Hua Ling, Mo Ning Yuan also drink the soup although she doesn't consume as much as Mo Xin Gi that's why she didn't die, but her dantian is broken and she unable to cultivated ever since.
Then she learned about forbidden art to suck human life forces through coitus to help her cultivated again, she was reluctant but she has no one to dependant since his brother dies and her family ruined, for a young woman without her family and cultivation her status is same as a dog, she never knew her future could be darker so she learned that forbidden arts and it work she able to cultivate her power is raised to leaped and bound, for once she tasted the overwhelmed feeling of power and control.
"Do you find the key for me?" she pursed her red lips seductively.
The elder Xie rummaged inside his collar then he took out lotus sculpture made from gold in the size of palm was "Of course" he shows it to Mo Ning Yuan face and immediately her face lit up, she reaches for the sculpture but the old man retracts his hand "Yuan Yuan this is Xie family heirloom you wouldn't think I will give you for free isn't it" he make lecherous smiles.
Mo Ning yuan knew what that pervert old man wants, she smiles coyly as she plastered her body to him, she harshly pull the old man beard then she kissed him, the kiss is long and deep as it becomes more passionated gradually, the old man d.e.s.i.r.e stirred as his l.u.s.t pique but then suddenly something hot struck his c.h.e.s.t.
He looks at Mo Ning Yuan with disbelieved, the passion in her eyes dissipated as it replaces with cruelty and coldness. She pulls the dagger from the old man's c.h.e.s.t and crimson liquid bursts like fireworks. The old man falls on his knee, his breathing becomes erratic as she was engulfed with confusion and shocked he doesn't understand what he had done wrong.
Mo Ning Yuan expression was cold as ice as she looks down at the old man who clenching his c.h.e.s.t desperately, his hand drenched with blood as the crimson liquid slip through his fingers and dripping to the ground. S
Mo Ning Yuan raised her dagger then stab on the old man's head her moves are strong and swift without hesitation then the dagger pierces from the top of his head to his jaw. His eyes bulged as if the eyeball would fall from its socket, shocked, panic and fear clearly show on his face.
His lifeless body falls to the ground with thump sounds. Her face remains indifferent even though her hand is soaked with blood. She takes out a jade bottle from her sleeve then she put the bottle near the corpse ear as she waiting patiently a leech crawl out from the corpse's ear, the leech is bulging as if it just has a feast, the creature body is cover with dark miasma, slowly the creature enters inside the jade bottle obediently, Mo Ning Yuan close the lit then she rummaged the corpses collar, she smiles when she found the golden Lotus sculpture.
She keeps the lotus sculpture inside her sleeve together with the jade bottle then she pours a white powder on elder Xie Corpses and the corpse melted and smelled like sulfur filled the cave. She took away elder Xie clothes and then she burn it outside the cave after she make sure everything is done then she nonchalantly put on her veil hat then leap between the tree branch then her figures gradually disappeared.
