CHAPTER 85: CHAPTER 84: THE VILLAIN’S ARROGANCE PREPARED TO RAMPAGE

How to evade White Night’s pursuit;

How to conceal the identity of a white-haired assassin;

How to live strong and comfortably in this chaotic world;

All these questions, Le Yu no longer needs to consider.

Le Yu stared blankly at Yin Yinyin for a while, until he heard someone timidly calling out to him: "Young master, young master, should I call someone to come clean up?"

Le Yu lifted his head and realized it was ’Jing Zhengwei’ speaking to him—the girl disguised as Jing Zhengwei, dressed as a man. Her clothes and chest binding had just been slashed open by the Demon Sword of Soul Purification, and now she had put on a coat, but it couldn’t hide her figure at all.

Upon closer inspection, it was clear she was just a beautiful girl with a rather heroic look, yet her soft and fearful expression highlighted her girlish charm, and the allure in her eyes was captivating.

How blind must one be to see her as a man.

Are masks really that all-powerful!?

Le Yu felt a stomach full of bitterness he couldn’t vent, internally grumbling. The girl shivered slightly under such a direct gaze from Le Yu and suddenly knelt down, trembling, saying, "Qing, Qing Lan didn’t hear anything, young master, please spare me..."

Hearing no response from the master, Qing Lan’s heart sank to the bottom.

She had actually expected it long ago.

Jing Zhengwei’s reputation was quite prominent in the Red Dream business of Xuanzhu County. Everyone knew Jing Zhengwei was generous, spending large amounts of money every month in establishments like Xiangxue Sea and Jin Pan Lu to purchase untouched courtesans. He was a client the Red Dream establishments sought after, a well-known rich second generation.

But at the same time, everyone knew the courtesans bought by Jing Zhengwei never survived; no one knew where they went, nor did anyone care. The Red Dream establishments got the money, Jing Zhengwei got the goods, ordinary people had gossip, who would care about those girls?

When Qing Lan got into the car bound for the Jing Mansion, Aunt Yun, who had been taking care of and training her, politely wished her to enjoy luxury at the Jing family. However, the hint of pity deep in Aunt Yun’s eyes was something Qing Lan, after years of reading faces in Xiangxue Sea, couldn’t possibly miss.

Thinking of this, Qing Lan suddenly relaxed, waiting for fate to torment her for the last time.

Accepting fate was something people from Dongyang had to learn. Sold to Xiangxue Sea by her gambling-addicted father since childhood, Qing Lan had seen too many false smiles, too much suffering in the world. She had seen runaway sisters dragged into the lowest brothels; she had heard of courtesans who tried every means to escape and ended up dying in despair.

If her life could end without suffering, it seemed acceptable.

From the moment she knew she was sold to Jing Zhengwei, Qing Lan had prepared herself.

If it’s possible... could it be quick? I’m afraid I might lose my composure soon.

If possible... I wish I could die gracefully. I am quite confident in my looks, and after all, this is my only proof of having existed in this world.

If possible... could I not come back in my next life?

Suddenly, she felt Jing Zhengwei’s cold hands touch her forehead. She shivered, silently praying for it to be quick because she was about to burst from fear.

"Stand up, you’ve got blood on your face, and it doesn’t look good."

"Huh?" Qing Lan was slightly stunned, only to find her face pressed against the blood-stained ground. She looked in the mirror and saw blood stains on her face, almost turning her into a little kitten.

She quickly wiped the blood off her face with the back of her hand and softly said, "I’m, I’m sorry..."

"It’s your face, not mine, nothing to apologize for." Le Yu sat on the sofa, loading bullets into a shotgun, an action that made Qing Lan clamp her legs, body shivering.

"Go call someone over to clean this up... what’s wrong? Do you need to go to the toilet?" Le Yu instructed, noticing Qing Lan’s unusual behavior, and asked curiously.

"No, I’ll go call someone right away!"

Qing Lan didn’t turn around; instead, she respectfully backed up, maintaining eye contact with Le Yu until she reached the door. She then swiftly opened the door and left, as if afraid Le Yu would stab her in the back.

Le Yu felt a bit baffled but didn’t mind. He placed the loaded short-barreled shotgun in position; although it was still on his thigh, it was very convenient to take out.

Could you believe Jing Zhengwei had a long and a short-barreled shotgun strapped under the skirt, both fully loaded? Who would’ve thought of that!

But on second thought, Le Yu had seen such an operation before—last time, when he and Yin Yinyin assassinated Dong Heng, he saw Yin Yinyin hide several knives under the skirt, which had given Le Yu the chills.

It’s a pity that he had changed bodies; otherwise, Le Yu might have found this phrase in Yin Yinyin’s mind: "It’s common sense to hide weapons under the skirt when cross-dressing."

Thinking of this, Le Yu glanced at Yin Yinyin’s corpse again, feeling somewhat complex.

Though he had anticipated the danger for the persona of Yin Yinyin, since death is common for an assassin, changing identities after just three days again made Le Yu realize the madness of this world—people can really die so easily.

But instead of lamenting over autumn or spring, Le Yu thought it more important now to check his belongings.

Just as Qing Lan knelt down, Le Yu seized the opportunity to pick up the Soul Purification Evil Sword (replica). He thought that after the original owner died, the Saint’s Relic would revert to its original form, but unexpectedly, it maintained the shape of Yinyin Yin.

Even more surprising was that Le Yu could still feel the connection with the Saint’s Relic. With a thought, the Saint’s Relic transformed into a gold-threaded jade-inlaid wristguard attached to Le Yu’s right arm.

Incredible!

Le Yu thought this was an account-bound exclusive divine weapon, never expecting he could still use it after changing accounts!

However, Le Yu quickly analyzed the truth: the Divine Weapon wasn’t bound to the ’physical body’—there was no blood recognition operation nor DNA identification—it was bound to ’Spiritual Power’. The final step of Yinyin Yin seizing the Saint’s Relic was communicating with the Divine Weapon using his own Spirit.

So, why could Le Yu use the Saint’s Relic after possessing Yinyin Yin?

There are two possibilities: first, during the possession, Le Yu also fused with Yinyin Yin’s Spiritual Power and naturally gained access to Yinyin Yin’s account permissions.

Second, Le Yu’s Spiritual Power is a master key, allowing him to take over the Divine Weapon at will, though unfortunately, there were no other Divine Weapons to verify his theory.

But the most likely reason is that the creator of the Divine Weapon never anticipated the existence of a hacker-type like Le Yu, so there wasn’t an appropriate protection mechanism in place. As a result, the Divine Weapon didn’t know how to react and even found it quite thrilling, thus letting Le Yu go all the way.

Not losing the Divine Weapon was beneficial, so Le Yu glanced at his system interface again.

"Name: Le Yu/Jing Zhengwei"

"Death Count: 3 times"

"Available Points: 0 points"

"Yinyin Yin’s Tribulation: Restore Yinyin Yin’s recognition from White Night (1/50) (Can acquire a new tribulation)."

"Own Skills: Basic Lingxu Battle Technique (+), Basic Harmony Qinri Battle Technique (+), Ice Blood Physique (Activatable)"

"Eternal Skills: Substitute, Intermediate Eight-Grade Biting Battle Technique (+)"

"Challenge (Refreshable): Waste 10,000 hours of others’ time, Difficulty ☆☆, Current progress 150/10,000."

The available points turned out to be 0.

This completely shattered Le Yu’s previous hypothesis regarding Substitute—he thought that each time he died, he’d receive an available point, which meant he could farm unlimited points as long as he died quickly enough.

But now the system told him: No, you can’t get points for free.

Was it because Yinyin Yin’s identity didn’t live long enough? Because he didn’t cross the tribulation? Or because the challenge wasn’t completed? Or perhaps Yinyin Yin’s death was too insignificant for the system to care?

There are many possibilities, but Le Yu didn’t dwell on it: he never planned to farm available points through unlimited Substitute.

And when he’s willing to pay any price to perform unlimited Substitute, he wouldn’t care whether he had available points or not.

Available points are just auxiliary; Substitute is the real trump card.

"Young Master!"

Qing Lan, along with Mi Die and Li Sang, entered, and upon seeing Le Yu without his veil, they paused for a moment. It seemed Jing Zhengwei’s confidentiality measures were effective, as even close guards didn’t know about his peculiar hobby.

Mi Die glanced at the bloodied Yinyin Yin on the ground and showed no change in expression: "Young Master, did he attempt to assassinate you?"

They actually heard the gunshots outside but didn’t rush in. Firstly, the white-haired assassin had been checked by them, had no weapons, and lacked the strength to resist Jing Zhengwei. Secondly, it was not the first time Jing Zhengwei fired a gun in moments of pleasure.

They were used to it.

"Hmm."

"I’ll call the second-in-command over immediately; this assassination happened in Red Moon Fortress, so he should be held accountable." Li Sang said solemnly, "He is highly suspicious."

Le Yu nodded indifferently.

Suddenly remembering something, he leaned back on the sofa and said lazily, "Isn’t there a group more suspicious than the second-in-command?"

Mi Die and Li Sang blinked, immediately understanding the Young Master’s implication.

Le Yu took out his short-barreled shotgun, gently caressing its dark bronze barrel:

"Tie up all of Boss Huo’s group and bring them here."
