CHAPTER 46: THE FISH HAS TAKEN THE BAIT.

Yang Kai!? That cockroach!?

How did he manage to earn so much money!?

Well, he is the protagonist. He might have pulled it out of his ass, which is no longer a surprise.

Still,

Bai Long’s face turned sour. He didn’t expect someone to be sent after his head, not to mention by Yang Kai!?

How can a protagonist hire an assassin!?

Only some intelligent Son of Heaven used to hire an assassin to silently erase their enemy, based on his long history of reading webnovels.

’Damn, it must be that Immortal Master that guides Yang Kai...’

’But wait a minute... How can Yang Kai hire an assassin!? He was taken by that Elder... It must be someone using the name of Yang Kai.’

’So, someone wants me to fight Yang Kai... Haha... Pathetic, if I wanted to fight Yang Kai I would have done it already.’

’It must be that Bai Huan... So, that brat also learned to use borrowed clothes...’

..

"100K spirit stones!?" Bai Long gasped in shock. "Just for my head!?"

The man nodded. "That’s right, for the handsome price of only 100K spirit stones." He chuckled. "It would be foolish not to accept such an offer, right?"

"Senior brother... I am not joking, my master is indeed your guild master’s friend. I dare not lie, if I lie may Heaven strike me nine times..." Bai Long uttered while secretly controlling his magical crystal.

"Jia, Jia, Jai... Junior, even if your master is a friend of my guild master, I dare not spare you... I have already given the name of the client, it’s a huge taboo. The only way to redeem myself is to eliminate you," said the assassin, arrogantly shaking his head, completely unaware that three crystals were moving at him from different places.

Woosh!

He somehow managed to dodge the attack of the first crystal, his eyes opening wide in surprise.

"Wha—" Before he could speak further, a warm feeling came from his lower back; the place where the kidney is located.

His internal organs were destroyed by the crystal.

Bai Long smirked... This is the reason why he wanted explosive talismans and an array. To kill someone more powerful than him.

Foundation stage!? What foundation stage!?

BOOOMMMM!!!

The crystal inside the assassin’s body exploded, and blood splattered everywhere.

The reverse dragon scale quickly sucked the soul while the body was cleaned by flesh-devouring flies.

Once the flies were gone, there was a silver ring in there.

There are three types of spatial rings; common, premium, and exclusive.

Common spatial rings are normal storage rings without any barrier protection, anyone can take something out and out something in.

Premium spatial rings have a barrier that can stop others from stealing what’s inside but it will be erased after the death of wearer, and exclusive spatial rings that will have a barrier even after the death of the wearer.

..

This ring was a premium storage ring.

Bai Long quickly checked what was inside, and he was surprised to see there were 30,001 mid-grade spirit stones, a bottle containing a pill, a letter written in code language, and a map.

Opening the letter, he realized it contained information regarding the location of certain individuals marked for assassination.

Reading through it, Bai Long discovered names like ’Liu Hong’, ’Zhang Ming’, ’Ye Chen’, and ’Li Wei’.

These targets appeared alongside descriptions detailing their appearances, backgrounds, and weaknesses.

’hmm... They are trash, it seems most of these people are trash. A sect disciple!? It seems someone named Hua Bua had ordered the dark lily oil for Li Wei, someone named Wawa had ordered a dark lily oil for Zhang Ming... But what is this!? Young Master Wang has ordered a Bull’s meat for Ye Chen, a trash young master of Ye Family...’

’What is Bull’s meat... If I am correct, dark lily oil means death, but what about Bull’s meat!? It is most likely torture... But, Ye Chen!? Isn’t Ye Chen the most common protagonist name!?’

’Could it be some protagonist!? System can you verify it!?’

[But that’s simply not possible]

’Why isn’t it possible!?’

[It’s just not...]

"Why not, you stupid bastard..." Bai Long cursed.

Even if it was a joke, he had a gut feeling that Ye Chen was a protagonist. Since there are many sons of heaven in this world, it’s only natural that someone named Ye Chen is also a son of heaven.

[Back to Host. The host needs to physically see someone to know if they are a protagonist or not]

Bai Long: "..."

Fine, he will check personally.

At least, the map shows the residence of Ye Chen, and Bai Long plans to visit this place someday.

But for now...

Buzzz* Buzzz*

The communication jade buzzed, it was Butler Lin.

"Young Master Bai... Patriarch has purchased the oil, at the cost of a whopping 3 million. He has ordered a female servant to rub the oil on Matriarch before nightfall."

Bai Long, who heard this, had a sinister smile on his face.

"Nice... Do you know this woman!? I want everything to be under my control..."

"Don’t worry, Young Master Bai, I know this woman... As long as you are willing to pay, she will even spread legs for you. Keeping her mouth shut is an easy task," Butler Lin said from the other side.

"Wonderful... Good! Good! Good! This Young Master shall reward both of you handsomely. I am hunting at the moment, once I am done hunting, I shall visit the Gu family. What about Patriarch Gu!? What is he doing...!?"

"Oh, Patriarch Gu!? He is a little salty because he had to spend a huge sum of money to cure Matriarch Gu, he is checking the finances of the Gu family," Butler replied earnestly.

"Indeed, he should be worrying about the finances... Anyone would need to think about finances if they purchased the Yang cicada sunflower oil at such a large sum."

"Anyway... Keep sending me detailed information on Patriarch Gu, oh, what about Fairy Gu!?"

"Fairy Gu!? She is in the sect... She will return after one month or so... I heard she is getting promoted to become an inner disciple,"

"Good! Good! Good! Keep doing your usual task for now... This Young Master is proud of you."

After that, Bai Long began to hunt more mutated monsters like boars, tigers, and wild cats.

And when the sun was about to set, with a satisfied smile, Bai Long made his way to the Gu family.
