Half-Step Multiple Desires Legend (Complete) - 14

After a moment of sheer luck, 202

suddenly said, "Let's not even talk about Alice, whom you've already won over, but about Linda. She's clearly a highly skilled martial artist. You know, long-term martial arts training makes the skin tighter and the body more elastic. Tsk tsk, having a woman like that on top, with her legs clamped around your waist, that would be incredibly pleasurable!"

"And then there's Xiuzhen, isn't she a magician? Speaking of which, magicians aren't anything special, their coldness is rather off-putting, but Xiuzhen is different. I've observed her all day. From her words and actions, I can say with certainty that she's definitely a gentle woman. Kid, you know, if you can conquer the heart of a gentle woman, it will make your life incredibly comfortable!"

"Uh… and that woman in the top hat, with those strangely colored eyes, very sexy, what's her name?" Da Nian Zhang asked.

Duo Duo subconsciously answered, "Maria!"

Da Nian Zhang clicked his tongue in disbelief, and after a while said, "If I met that woman in my world, I would definitely not let her go."

Duo Duo was immediately puzzled. What was so good about Maria?

Cold-blooded, scheming, she was definitely a terrifying woman. For Duo Duo, avoiding her was the last thing she wanted!

"Her? What's so good about her? Besides being pretty!" Duo Duo said.

"That woman has a strange and exquisite heart!" Da Nian Zhang said.

"A strange and exquisite heart?" Duo Duo was immediately puzzled. This term seemed familiar! Right. In the books she had read in her previous life, wasn't it said that the prime minister named Bigan had a strange and exquisite heart in the Investiture of the Gods? It was precisely because of this that Bigan was killed by Daji under a pretext. Oh

my god! Damn it. I'm not going to have to eat Maria's heart, am I?

Duo Duo recalled the part in the Investiture of the Gods where Daji wanted to eat some of Bigan's heart. A chill ran down his spine, and his internal organs churned with nausea.

"Hey, hey, hey. Kid. How could your thoughts be so cruel? To actually think of eating the heart of such a delicate beauty! If you won't let me sunbathe, please allow me to say that I despise you!" said Da Nian Zhang.

Then, he asked suspiciously, "But what is this Investiture of the Gods you're thinking of? Daji and Bigan seem to be people, right? Hmm... based on my experience, since Daji likes to eat hearts, she must be a monster from the demon realm. As for Bigan, he's just a fool! * He actually willingly let a monster from the demon realm eat his heart, sigh... unimaginable!"

Duo Duo felt helpless, thinking that next time he had such wild thoughts, he definitely shouldn't be holding onto his chastity charm. This old lecher is really troublesome; his habit of digging into everything is unbearable!

"Uh... that's a story from my hometown; I'll tell you the details later..." Duo Duo said perfunctorily. Then he asked, "A clever and cunning heart? What exactly do you mean? Explain in detail, I don't quite understand!"

Da Nian Zhang chuckled, "A clever and cunning heart means a woman with deep cunning, definitely a smart type! But these kinds of people have a characteristic: once conquered, they'll be completely devoted. Think about it. Outwitting and outmaneuvering such a cunning woman, and finally conquering her, you'll definitely feel a strong sense of accomplishment!"

Duo Duo was stunned!

He remembered that in his previous life, many men preferred foolish women!

Why?

Because they were easy to fool, and less troublesome!

But according to this old lecher, smart women are much more exciting, a battle of wits and outmaneuvering during the pursuit?

Holy crap!

Is this a police drama?

Damn it, isn't this just asking for trouble?! Duo Duo

couldn't agree with the old lecher's viewpoint. However, he deeply agreed with the old lecher's comments about Maria, and his wariness of Maria grew even stronger!

"And that Lucy, absolutely gorgeous! A woman like that can evoke any man's protective instincts. Sigh... I just don't understand. Six hundred years ago, I searched the world for beauties, and although I encountered all sorts of women, it was always a long and arduous journey! You're so lucky, kid, all those women are gathered in this restaurant... This place is a bit strange!" Da Nian Zhang sighed sincerely. Duo Duo

couldn't help but feel a little regretful. Damn it, that's true. Although there were many women in this Banbu Duo Restaurant, and all were unparalleled beauties, it seemed he couldn't have them. Damn it, do you know what's the most painful thing? It's being hungry. Looking at a table full of delicious food but not being able to eat it!

Thinking of this, Duo Duo couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

His interest in chatting with the old lecher suddenly vanished. Chatting with this old guy was definitely a shock. His experience was too rich; things he thought were something to be proud of were so insignificant to him!

"I can't talk anymore, I have to get down to business!" Duo Duo yawned.

"No! Can we chat a little longer? I'm really getting into it. I'll tell you some more exciting stories later, the ones I'm most proud of!" Da Nian Zhang said eagerly.

Duo Duo frowned, thinking, "Chat with you? Isn't that just asking for trouble? Damn, if I finish chatting with you, you'll be happy, but I'll probably lose all my confidence in picking up girls..."

"I can't chat anymore, let's talk tomorrow. I have important things to do!" Duo Duo said dismissively.

"What important things? Tell me, tell me, I'm bored anyway. Maybe I can give you some ideas!"

People say the most terrifying thing in the world is loneliness, but now it seems the most terrifying thing isn't loneliness, but lonely people!

This old lecher has had it tough. After more than six hundred years of being sealed away in loneliness, when he suddenly finds someone to chat with, he's absolutely insatiable!

Judging from his posture, it seems he wants to tell Duo Duo everything he hasn't said in over six hundred years!

To shut this lecherous old man up, Duo Duo posed a difficult question, saying, "It's very important, uh... I need to teach my apprentice something useful, but I don't know what to teach!"

"Weren't you quite powerful after your transformation? I could feel your immense energy. Why not just teach your apprentice that cultivation method?" Da Nian Zhang, eager to give Duo Duo more time to boast, actively offered suggestions. Duo Duo

glared at him and said, "Damn it, do I need you to tell me? If I knew how to teach him, would I be teaching him something so difficult?"

"What do you mean?" Da Nian Zhang asked, puzzled.

Duo Duo said, "I don't even know where I got that ability myself, so how am I supposed to teach him?"

Da Nian Zhang suddenly clicked his tongue, and after a moment, said, "No wonder you're so rude. You know, true masters are all gentlemen. Like me... so you just got lucky, huh? Hehe..." Duo Duo

found it grating and was about to speak when Da Nian Zhang interrupted, "Don't like what you're saying? Stop bringing up sunbathing, okay? I'm doing this for your own good! Sigh... honest advice is hard to swallow!"

Duo Duo said with a laugh, "Since you know that, why do you still say things I don't like? Isn't that just being a jerk!"

Then, he shook his head impatiently and said, "Don't bother me, I need to think about it!"

"What's there to think about! If all else fails, I, this old man, will teach your apprentice some alchemy," Da Nian Zhang blurted out.

Duo Duo's eyes lit up. In his current understanding, alchemy was all about low-level stuff like making aphrodisiacs. But if that guy Liu Mang really learned how to make aphrodisiacs, wouldn't it be incredibly convenient for him to use them in the future?

"Hey, hey, hey! Kid, I've told you, alchemy is profound and complex. Don't always associate alchemy with aphrodisiacs, okay!" Da Nian Zhang sensed Duo Duo's lewd thoughts and immediately protested loudly.

Duo Duo chuckled, "What I think is none of your business, just keep your word! You said you'd teach my apprentice alchemy, and if you go back on your word… hmph…" Duo Duo's words were laced with undisguised intimidation.

Da Nian Zhang seemed to regret his earlier meddling. How peaceful those days were! He'd just created trouble for himself. If this guy's apprentice was smart, it would be fine. But if he was stupid, wasn't he just asking for trouble?

"Uh... I was just saying, consider it bragging. Old people tend to exaggerate," Zhang tried to salvage his impulsive words.

Duo Duo chuckled coldly, "Or I could throw you out in the sun, then bring you back half-dead and say, 'I didn't mean it, it was just a momentary impulse, okay?'"

Duo Duo's

earnestness and the sinister aura he exuded in his words filled Zhang with fear. Knowing Duo Duo as he did, this despicable fellow was capable of anything; who knew? This bastard might really throw him into the midday sun tomorrow.

Death wasn't so scary, but the thought of the pain of being exposed to sunlight made Zhang shudder violently, even causing his chastity charm to vibrate.

"Unfortunately, alchemy has very high requirements. It requires some very special utensils. Let me make it clear, I don't care for ordinary alchemical utensils!" "Da Nian Zhang, settling for second best, deliberately created a difficult problem for Duo Duo.

"Hmm! Just keep your word!" Duo Duo said in a deep voice.

Duo Duo thought that he had so many treasures he had plundered anyway. Those treasures could be exchanged for countless gold coins, damn it! It's just some alchemical vessel, right? In this world, is there anything that can't be bought with gold coins?

Speaking of which, he had to go outside the city. He had promised Liu Mang two treasures. He couldn't delay too long. Thinking of You Hun's trickery, Duo Duo couldn't help but eagerly begin his plan, to play a good trick on You Hun and let that deadpan face know the price of playing him!

"Master..."

While Duo Duo and Da Nian Zhang were chatting, Yana's figure appeared silently in the room.

"A beauty! A beauty!" Da Nian

Zhang exclaimed in surprise the moment he sensed Yana.

Duo Duo was secretly pleased with Da Nian Zhang's genuine amazement. A beauty? Ha, just his female slave.

"Your female slave?" "Da Nian?" Zhang exclaimed in surprise, then sighed, "You actually want this kind of woman as your slave? Alas... it's simply a waste of a precious gem!"

"What do you mean?" Duo Duo asked in astonishment.

"Alas... you wouldn't understand even if I told you. But remember, don't be too harsh on this woman; she's very vengeful. Try to be nice to her; it won't do you any harm!" Da Nian Zhang

surprisingly became serious. Duo Duo was puzzled by this old lecher's uncharacteristic attitude. Just as she was about to ask, Da Nian Zhang chuckled, "Looks like you're going to be active soon... then I won't bother you any longer. Can you do me a favor? Apply some of her bodily fluids from her first orgasm to your chastity ring. Don't ask why yet; it will only benefit you!"

He then fell silent.

"Why use the bodily fluids from her first orgasm?" "Why..." Duo Duo asked several questions that had been bothering her.

But she didn't hear Da Nian Zhang's answer. It seemed he really had gone into hiding!

Yana looked at Duo Duo lying on the bed with a strange expression, ignoring her presence. She nervously nudged Duo Duo and said, "Master... Master... Am I late? Did I make you angry?"

Duo Duo immediately came to her senses and looked at Yana. She smiled and said, "Nothing, you're not late."

Yana breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I was worried when I saw you like that. I'm glad you're not angry with me."

Duo Duo smiled, and when she looked up, she suddenly realized that the moon was already high in the sky. Yana did seem to have arrived later than usual today. She asked in confusion, "Yana, is something wrong today?"

Yana paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Nothing, I just took a nap and realized it was a bit late when I woke up. I'm glad you're not angry with me, Master." "

In fact, Yana had already arrived at the Half-Step Inn.

However, she didn't go to Duo Duo's room, but instead entered Alona's.

Through the search by the Yi tribe and her own sensing using her energy, she finally discovered Alona's whereabouts.

When Yana learned that Alona was at the Half-Step Inn and had checked in as a guest, she felt a strong sense of foreboding.

Based on her understanding of Alona, she could guess Alona's purpose in entering the Half-Step Inn. It seemed that although Alona didn't know the truth, she must have found some clues.

Frankly, Yana longed for an elven virgin to offer herself to Duo Duo in order to resolve the..." Aside from the mysterious contract between her and Duo Duo due to the power of the Death Spider Queen,

even after the contract was broken, if Yana had stayed by Duo Duo's side as a fake snake for the sake of the Nine Yang Manual, she wouldn't have felt the same psychological burden.

However, Yana didn't want the woman who sacrificed herself to be Arona!

She and Arona had grown up together, sharing a deep sisterly bond, just as Alice had for Xiuzhen and Linda. Yana wanted Arona to be happy.

But now it seemed that, because of her, Arona couldn't avoid being drawn into this vortex.

What frustrated Yana most was that when she questioned Arona and ordered her to leave the Half-Step Duo Restaurant, the woman who had always listened to her... Arona, upon hearing this, flatly refused, insisting that she had only checked into the Half-Step Inn because she was feeling bored, claiming there were many interesting things to do there to relieve her boredom, and even a magical sauna to enjoy.

When Yana further tried to persuade Arona to leave, Arona began to question Yana about why she should leave!

Because Arona's attitude was so firm when explaining her reasons for staying at the Half-Step Inn, Yana began to wonder if Arona actually knew as much as she thought, and that her reason for staying at the Half-Step Inn might truly be a way to relieve her boredom by being spiteful.

Therefore, because Yana was unsure of Arona's intentions, when Arona... When questioned, she didn't reveal any truth. If Arona didn't know everything, that would be exactly what Yana wanted; there was no need for her to proactively reveal anything to Arona!

The two sisters, each with their own thoughts, parted on bad terms.

Because Yana was eager to be with Duoduo, she didn't linger with Arona for too long, hoping the girl would figure things out on her own.

Duoduo looked at Yana's furrowed brow, guessing she must have something on her mind, but didn't say anything. She thought to herself, if she really had something difficult to solve, she would probably seek her help.

Lying on the bed, Duoduo quietly observed Yana, pondering what the old lecher had just said.

That old lecher seemed to value Yana highly, praising her more highly than Maria, Linda, Xiuzhen, Alice, and even Lucy.

However, after observing her for a long time, Duo Duo couldn't find anything particularly special about Yana.

To be fair, Yana was stunningly beautiful, with a sexy and alluring figure, and exuded a wild aura.

But if that was all it took for the old lecher to praise her so highly, then that old man wouldn't deserve to be called the infamous alchemist of lewd arts from over six hundred years ago.

Like Duo Duo, Yana secretly wondered.

In the past, whenever she appeared near Duo Duo, his first action would always be to pull her into his arms, roughly kneading her, and then thoroughly ravaging her.

But today, this guy seemed to have changed. Instead of eagerly harassing her, he kept scrutinizing her, seemingly lost in thought.

Did he know of Arona's existence and that Arona was a dark elf?

Yana suddenly remembered that Duoduo had asked her out of the blue whether there were any other Night Elves in Mandala City besides her. Thinking back, that was exactly when Arona had just entered the Half-Step Duo Inn…

Recalling Duoduo's rudeness, Yana felt even more ominous about Arona's future and made up her mind. Whatever Arona's reason for staying at the Half-Step Duo Inn, she would eventually force her to leave…

Suddenly, Duoduo opened his arms and said, "Come here."

Yana felt a pang of disappointment. Alas… what was bound to happen would happen.

Despite her reluctance, she had no choice but to comply with Duoduo's wishes.

In the dim light, Yana stood before Duoduo's bed, slowly undressing.

As her clothes slipped off, Yana's fair, jade-like skin, radiating a soft glow, appeared before Duoduo's eyes—her beautiful collarbone, her proudly erect breasts, her flat stomach… and the gradually emerging dark patch… Finally, her pink, secret area was no longer covered by her clothes, completely exposed to Duoduo's gaze.

Looking at the alluring body before him, Duoduo felt his mouth go dry.

The fire ignited during the day by Alice's seductive charm erupted again at the temptation of Yana's naked body…

“Come…” Duoduo said hoarsely, before the words were even finished. He couldn't wait any longer and pulled Yana onto the bed, flipping her over and pressing her soft, elastic body against his. The burning lust of

his two hundred and four seductive

desires made Duoduo lose his usual patience. He didn't bother with any foreplay and forcefully spread Yana's legs, completely exposing that alluring pink before his eyes.

Then, he moved his body, aiming his surging desire at his target, and thrust his lower body forward to penetrate Yana's body. To release his desire.

Ah!

You see, Yana really loathed Duoduo. Even when Duoduo teased her, it was difficult for her body to react, let alone a rough attack like this without any foreplay.

A huge desire. It was difficult to penetrate her dry, tender path; each thrust from Duoduo sent a tearing pain through Yana's body.

"Ah...it hurts..." Yana groaned in pain as Duoduo launched another fierce attack.

Duoduo looked at Yana beneath him, her pretty face contorted in agony, and suddenly recalled the old lecher's words: he should treat Yana better...

Why did he have to treat her better?

Duoduo was filled with doubt. Besides, he hadn't noticed anything special about Yana during his inspection. However, Duoduo's intuition told him that the experienced, womanizing old lecher wouldn't be making things up without reason; he must have his reasons.

Duoduo, his lower body throbbing with desire, looked at the pained Yana beneath him, hesitated for a moment, then suddenly leaned down, his tongue lightly kissing Yana's body, his hands roaming over her flesh, teasing her relentlessly.

Yana suddenly opened her eyes, looking in surprise at Duoduo, who was intently flirting with her. She thought

to herself with utter astonishment, "Has this despicable guy changed sex? He's actually considering my feelings now? You know, in the past, in a situation like today, this guy would have definitely been very rough in breaking through my body, seeking his own pleasure.

Hmm!

This guy must have suddenly become interested in flirting, right?

He wouldn't have any pity, much less pity for me, his slave!"

Yana thought to herself, and then, her disgust for Duoduo, who was playing with her body as he pleased, grew even stronger!

Despite her disgust, she was still somewhat relieved by Duoduo's actions. The outcome was the same—she would be violated anyway—but if the process was somewhat comfortable, it was still worth being happy about.

Under Duoduo's vigorous teasing, Yana's body began to react physiologically.

Under the teasing of Duo Duo's fingers, her private area produced a slippery secretion. When Duo Duo lifted his fingers, Yana half-closed her eyes, ashamed to see a string of glistening liquid hanging from Duo Duo's fingertips.

Then, Duo Duo impatiently adjusted the position of his desire, thoroughly wetting it with friction. With a forceful thrust, he entered Yana's body.

Ah…

As the immense desire surged into her body, feeling an intense sense of fullness, Yana couldn't help but let out a groan.

He's changed! This guy really has changed!

Instead of the fierce conquest he usually did after entering, he used gentle, small thrusts. Only after her body was fully wet did he gradually increase the intensity.

This treatment, so different from before, made Yana incredibly uneasy. Based on past experience, Duo Duo's unusual behavior meant that something even more cruel was waiting for her…

While Duo Duo and Yana were making love,

at the headquarters of the Black Blood Society, the Six Stars were not at peace either.

During this time, Six Mang learned many words from the old elf. Six Mang was naturally intelligent, and his eagerness to achieve something made him work very hard. Therefore, he remembered everything he learned and didn't forget it immediately.

"Old man, what do these two words mean together?" Six Mang asked.

The old elf explained the individual meanings of each word in detail, and then explained their combined meaning.

Over time, the old elf gradually calmed down.

This rogue leader hadn't come to him to listen to music at all; he was a teacher seeking knowledge.

The old elf couldn't help but wonder what this guy was thinking. There were many teachers in Mandala City who specialized in imparting knowledge, far superior to someone like him who only knew music.

Why didn't this guy seek them out, but instead chose him?

While answering Six Mang's question, the old elf pondered wildly, but unfortunately, no matter how hard he racked his brains, he couldn't come up with any possibility.

"How do you pronounce this character? What does it mean?" Liu Mang asked, pointing to a character he had marked in the dictionary.

Suddenly, at that moment, the door to Liu Mang's room was pushed open.

The wandering soul's thin body, shrouded in a large black robe, floated into the room as if floating.

Six Mang frowned and snapped, "Grandma's my foot! Couldn't you knock beforehand?!"

The Wandering Spirit, as always, remained expressionless, simply bowing and saying, "Respected leader. The matter was too urgent, so I was a bit hasty. Please forgive me."

Then, the Wandering Spirit looked at the old elf and asked in surprise, "Didn't you ask this old elf to play music for you? Why are you reading a book?"

Six Mang panicked slightly, but fortunately, making things up was this guy's forte. After a moment of tension, he glared and said, "You clearly don't understand music at all! Can you really listen to music? Of course you need to look at the sheet music..."

The Wandering Spirit nodded, not dwelling on the music any further, which made Six Mang breathe a long sigh of relief.

"What brings you here?" Six Mang quickly changed the subject.

The Wanderer bowed slightly, glanced at the old elf, and said, "You can leave now!"

The Wanderer's deathly face and the aura of death emanating from him made the old elf tremble. Hearing the Wanderer's order, he immediately slipped away, more than happy to comply.

"What's going on? Why are you being so mysterious!" Six Mang frowned and said impatiently. Six Mang had absolutely no liking for the Wanderer. He was always expressionless and spoke in a sarcastic tone. Damn it, if Six Mang didn't know he was no match for this guy, he would have already slapped him across the face with his shoe!

"Respected leader, do you remember the messenger from the Hermit Guild who asked our Blackblood Society's new leader to register with the guild?" the Wanderer said in a low voice.

Six Mang was taken aback, then remembered the five-day deadline that Ex and the others had mentioned.

"So what?" Six Mang said disdainfully.

"Respected leader, I must remind you, it's already the fifth day..." the Wanderer said softly.

"What's wrong with the fifth day?" Six Mang glared and said, wanting to do more for him. This guy wouldn't tolerate anyone.

Wandering Soul said, "Respected leader, I can't describe to you just how powerful the Hermit Guild is, because I know nothing about its internal workings. However, I can tell you without exaggeration that the Hermit Guild has the power to easily destroy the Black Blood Society. Please, in everything you do, think more about the brothers in the Black Blood Society!"

"Are you lecturing me?" Six Mang glared at Wandering Soul, thinking, "Damn it!" This guy uses underhanded tactics behind the scenes, yet now he's spouting nonsense about thinking of his brothers. I curse you, you son of a bitch! Six Mang stared at Wandering Soul, cursing him silently in his heart. "

Wandering Soul wouldn't dare. You are now the leader of the Black Blood Society, and I am merely your subordinate. I am only reminding you; I have no intention of lecturing you!" Wandering Soul said respectfully.

Six Mang couldn't find a flaw in Wandering Soul's attitude, and didn't even have a chance to find fault or lash out.

He utterly loathed this guy. To make him disappear from his sight as quickly as possible, Six Mang hesitated for a moment, then said perfunctorily, "I need to report this to my master before making a decision. You can leave now!"

The Wandering Soul showed no intention of leaving, saying, "Respected leader, this matter cannot be delayed. Perhaps because you didn't register today, the Hermit Guild will send a powerful member to wipe out the entire Black Blood Society tomorrow."

"Alright, alright, I know, you can leave now!" Six Mang grew increasingly impatient. This feeling of knowing the other party was playing tricks but being unable to expose them was driving Six Mang crazy!

The Wandering Soul bowed slightly and said, "I will come back to remind you later. I hope you've thought it through..."

Six Mang simply didn't reply, turned around and sat down in his chair, not even looking at the Wandering Soul. Damn it. You like to nag, don't you? I'll ignore you and see if you dare to nag again!

Two hundred and five, they met again.

The Wandering Soul was also sensible; he had achieved his purpose, so he nodded and left the room.

After the Wandering Soul left... Liu Mang got up and looked at the pitch-black sky outside. The day was almost over, meaning the five-day deadline would expire when the moon was high in the sky.

"Master! Why aren't you here yet!" Liu Mang was anxious, scratching his head. He paced back and forth in the room...

Duo Duo touched the lingering warmth beside him, smelled the faint fragrance of Yana's hair left on the pillow, and looked at the open window and the still dark night sky outside.

This night, Duo Duo felt great. He was used to being rough. Occasionally, gentleness felt fresh.

Ha!

Damn it, it seems that always raping can get boring! Duo Duo

thought with a laugh. Unlike before, Duo Duo had chosen a gentle approach during his passionate encounter with Yana. He paid attention to Yana's expression and tried his best to make her happy. As a result, when Yana climaxed, although Duo Duo didn't have the same release of pleasure as when he was rough, watching the woman beneath him moan and climax during his thrusts gave him a sense of accomplishment that was no less than the pleasure of being rough.

Men are like that; what they fear most is a woman saying, "You're so bad!" What they love most is a woman saying, "Baby...you...you're so strong..."

Yana didn't say it so explicitly, but her dazed eyes during her climax betrayed her thoughts. The meaning in her eyes was clearly, "Harder...harder..."

Duo Duo couldn't help but admire that old lecher. He truly was a master of erotic arts, having slept with countless women! His understanding of women was so thorough. It seemed that learning more from that old lecher in this area would be a good idea.

Thinking that the old lecher might teach him many new and exciting positions, Duo Duo couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Suddenly, Duo Duo sat up abruptly. He suddenly remembered his promise to Liu Mang.

Looking at the sky outside, it seemed to be cloudy. On days like this, Linda and the others usually got up late, so it seemed there was still plenty of time to use.

After hesitating for a moment, Duo Duo quickly jumped out of bed, circulated his Nine Yang Energy, and transformed into a handsome elf. He put on the silver brocade robe, and before leaving, he thought for a moment. He walked to the bedside and took out the chastity charm ring, tucking it into his waistband.

Just as Duo Duo's hand touched the ring, he heard the old lecher shouting, "Damn half-elf, you went out without me..."

Duo Duo chuckled and ignored him. He turned and quickly rushed out the window.

It was the time when people slept most soundly. Mandala City was deathly silent.

Duo Duo deliberately sought out secluded paths, running swiftly.

Because Duo Duo had always relied on this method of running without any technique, only using energy to increase speed, his running speed had now increased dramatically, no less than that of martial artists using aura-based lightness techniques or mages using levitation magic.

A faint red halo appeared, and Duo Duo's body left a blur as he flashed out of the city like lightning.

Because he had been in such a hurry when he hid the treasure last time, it took him a long time to find the old tree where he had hidden it in the woods outside the city.

After Duo Duo looked around to make sure no one was watching, he quickly scrambled up the tree trunk, grabbed two treasures, and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered that at the treasure exchange fair, many of the treasure owners seemed to have combat attributes.

A thought struck him, and he dug open the tree hole. One by one, he took the treasures out of the hole and threw them on the ground.

Since he couldn't teach the Six-Pointed Star Nine Yang True Scripture for the time being, he should at least give Liu Mang one or two useful treasures. At least he wouldn't disappoint Liu Mang too much.

As he tossed all the treasures to the ground and began to pick them up one by one, he picked up a hemispherical, golden-yellow vessel, resembling a small bowl with repetitive lines engraved on its bottom. Suddenly, he felt the chastity charm ring in his robes throb violently.

Curious, Duo Duo reached into his robes and grasped the ring.

He heard the old lecher breathing heavily, seemingly very agitated.

"Old lecher, are you crazy?" Duo Duo asked.

"Huff...huff...oh God...God..." the old lecher stammered, barely able

to speak. This surprised Duo Duo even more. This old man from six hundred years ago was supposed to have seen the world!

How could he be so out of control now?

"What's wrong with you? Speak!" Duo Duo instinctively squeezed the chastity charm ring harder, as if that squeeze could calm the old lecher's emotions.

After catching his breath for a while, the old lecher exclaimed excitedly, "An amplifying alchemy device! Old friend, we meet again!"

An amplifying alchemy device?

Old friend?!

What

nonsense! Duo Duo was very confused.

Before he could ask, the old lecher said, "This is mine, something I created!"

"What's yours?" Duo Duo's heart skipped a beat. He picked up the golden bowl-shaped object in his hand and held it up, saying, "Are you talking about this?"

"Yes, this is it. I made it. I never expected to see it again! This amplifying alchemy device is my most prized early creation. Alchemy performed in this vessel can make the finished product at least twice as effective as normal! How did you get it? My God! This is amazing!" the old lecher said excitedly.

Damn!

This old guy has quite a background!

Duo Duo remembered that this amplifying alchemy device was one of the treasures exchanged later in the treasure trading fair. He hadn't noticed it at the time, but in the treasure trading fair, treasures that appeared later were always much more valuable than those from earlier periods, which meant... This strangely shaped amplifying alchemical artifact is extremely valuable.

A shameless thought flashed through Duo Duo's mind. He chuckled and said, "You old lecher, did you have any other works while you were alive? Did you secretly hide them somewhere after you died so no one would find them?"

Damn it!

This old lecher's works are all so numerous. If I could get more, wouldn't I be rolling in money?

Leaving such a rich collection unused would be a sin!

"No, all my works, in the end, I gave them all to women..." the old lecher said.

"You..." Duo Duo waved his hand dejectedly. His dream of getting rich had just been shattered.

"Ah! The Ring of the Overlord! The Armor of the Gods... The Necromancer's Wand..." The old lecher exclaimed as if he had discovered a new continent, rattling off the names of several treasures in succession. Finally, he asked in utter astonishment, "You bastard, how do you possess so many treasures... Where... Where did all of these come from?"

"Robbed them..." Duo Duo answered crisply.

If this old lecher had a real body, he would probably faint on the spot. Damn, to be able to steal so many peerless treasures? It can only be said that the dog shit he stepped in was absolutely ancient! Otherwise, how could his luck be so good?

Seeing the old lecher's familiarity with these treasures, Duo Duo asked, "Do you know a lot about these treasures?"

The old lecher replied, "Of course! I'm one of the greatest alchemists. What do alchemists do? They're inextricably linked to these treasures."

Duo Duo muttered under his breath, "An alchemist? But there's the word 'lewd' in front of that..."

Sensing Duo Duo's thoughts, the old lecher shouted urgently, "What? You don't believe me? Do you want me to tell you all about the origins and uses of these treasures?"

To be honest, Duo Duo was very interested in the origins and uses of these treasures, but time didn't allow him to satisfy his curiosity in detail. Anyway, there

would be plenty of opportunities; he'd eventually emptied the old lecher's pockets of knowledge!

"No need, we can talk about it later. Since you know about them, that's even better. I want to give someone a couple of pieces of martial arts or magical equipment, preferably something really powerful, otherwise it'll be hard to present!" Duo Duo said, rummaging through the treasures on the ground.

"Awesome? Every treasure here is amazing! Take the Overlord Ring, for example. It can increase one's strength a hundredfold! If the user cultivates Overlord Battle Qi, the effect is even more miraculous! And that one, yes, that cyan soft armor, that's the Divine Soft Armor. It can enhance one's physical strength to almost godlike levels, its defensive power is absolutely unparalleled! And that seemingly ordinary black one, that's the Necromancer's Wand. Its magic isn't increasing the user's abilities, but rather increasing the abilities of the undead it controls. Just imagine, a necromancer controlling many terrifyingly powerful undead, what a scene that would be!" The old lecher

, wielding the Overlord Ring,

rattled off the amazing features of several treasures.

Duo Duo, hearing this, was immediately puzzled. If these treasures were so powerful, why would their owners use them for trade?

This world is one where the strong rule. If they used these treasures to enhance their own strength, wouldn't they be able to earn a lot of gold coins?

"Kid, you're thinking too simply. Let me tell you, while these treasures are powerful, very few people can actually use them. Besides, those who can use them are already so powerful that they wouldn't even bother with such tools," the old lecher said, sensing Duo Duo's thoughts again.

"What do you mean?" Duo Duo asked curiously.

"The reason these treasures possess such magical power is because they contain magical arrays. You see, every magical array has a key to activate it. Only by finding the magical arrays on these treasures, figuring out the key, and successfully activating them, can these treasures unleash their true power! Look at these treasures, they're quite ancient. I guess the reason they were sold off is because the methods of using them have long been lost!" the old lecher said eloquently.

Duo Duo immediately understood, recalling the beautiful flower basket that Kane gave Alice. Wasn't it precisely after Alice flicked away a small white flower that it displayed such magical properties?

It seems that what the old lecher was saying was the same principle demonstrated by that flower basket.

Thinking of this, Duoduo felt troubled. He had originally planned to give Liumang two treasures. Who knew that these treasures, though well-known, were useless…

Suddenly, Duoduo had a thought. The old lecher was so familiar with the names and uses of these treasures. And since he was also an alchemist, perhaps he knew how to use one or two of them?

“Old lecher, since you are so familiar with these treasures, do you know how to use one of them? If you do, please help me. At least let me give it to someone else.” Duoduo’s tone was unusually amiable, as if he needed a favor…

“Uh… I think I know how to use the Overlord Ring…” the old lecher said slowly.

“Then tell me quickly!” Duoduo asked eagerly.

"What's the rush? So much time has passed. Let me think about it properly! Do you think the method is simple? The magic circle is very complicated. I only learned the secret of the Ring of the Overlord by chance. As for whether it's real, I'm not sure. Anyway, I haven't tried it..." the old lecher said.

Oh my god!

So this old guy also wants to use the Ring of the Overlord for experiments!

Duoduo asked nervously, "Old lecher, if... I mean, if your method of use is wrong, will the Ring of the Overlord undergo any negative changes?"

The old lecher pondered for a moment and said, "I'm not quite sure either. It depends on the maker's settings. Anyway, my amplification alchemy device has a self-destructing magic circle. If the method of use is incorrect, it will be destroyed and disappear... Otherwise, wouldn't anyone be able to use my carefully crafted creation... Hmph. The person who can crack my amplification alchemy device must be very excellent. My things can only be used by people as excellent as me..."

Damn it! Don't people these days blush when they brag?

Hexagram is like that, and this old lecher is too!

"Sigh...

Compared to others, I'm really shameless..." Duo Duo sighed softly.

After exchanging a few more words with the old lecher, the old lecher confidently said that given enough time, he was absolutely certain he could figure out how to use all these treasures.

So, Duo Duo decided that even if the Overlord Ring was just a test subject, it was getting late anyway, and he should hurry to Liu Mang's place to sell the treasures he needed to sell. And he could test the Overlord Ring there to see if it was any good!

So, with the old lecher's help, Duo Duo selected two of the more valuable treasures, casually stuffed the Overlord Ring into his pocket, and put the rest of the treasures back into the tree hole...

Liu Mang waited anxiously in the room, pacing back and forth, sometimes squatting on a chair scratching his head.

Suddenly, the window of the room made a slight noise, and as it opened, Duo Duo's figure appeared in front of Liu Mang like lightning.

"Master, you've finally appeared!" Liu Mang excitedly greeted Duo Duo upon seeing him.

Duo Duo chuckled, "*, I'm not a beauty, why were you waiting for me so long?"

Liu Mang grinned mischievously, saying, "Master isn't a beauty, but Master is the God of Wealth... Just thinking about Master makes my eyes light up with gold!"

"Light up with gold?" Duo Duo paused, taken aback.

"It means gold coins..." Liu Mang chuckled. Duo

Duo quickly reached out and gave Liu Mang a sharp flick on the forehead, shouting, "You bastard, I'll make your eyes see stars first... see if you still dare to be so 'light up with gold'!"

Liu Mang grimaced, rubbing his head, looking pitifully at Duo Duo.

Duo Duo couldn't help but laugh. He pulled out the two treasures chosen by the old lecher from his pocket, placed them on the table, and said to Liu Mang, "Sell these treasures as soon as possible. Once you have the gold coins, do what you need to do, don't worry about saving them for me!"

Liu Mang's eyes widened at the sight of the treasures. Ignoring his headache, he quickly stepped forward, clutching the treasure in both hands and stroking it vigorously, saying, "I'm selling it tomorrow, so I'm just warming it up first... I'm selling it tomorrow, so I'm just warming it up first..."

Duo Duo chuckled, "Money-grubber! You're such a disgrace!"

Liu Mang smiled sheepishly, "Master, everyone loves beauty. I like gold coins, just like you like women..."

After finishing their business, Duo Duo and Liu Mang joked around for a while before Duo Duo pulled out the Overlord Ring from his pocket.

"What's this?" Liu Mang looked at the dull, black ring in Duo Duo's hand with surprise.

"The Overlord Ring," Duo Duo said casually.

"This piece of junk dares to call itself the Overlord Ring?" Liu Mang's expression was as strange as if he had an egg in his mouth.

"You know nothing!" Duo Duo glared at Liu Mang, who immediately shut up, not daring to spout nonsense.

"Weren't you eager for me to teach you your skills?" Duo Duo said.

Liu Mang's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "Master, will you teach me now?"

Duo Duo shook his head, thinking to himself, "Damn it, if I knew how to teach you, would I need to go through all this trouble to find this kind of martial arts equipment!"

Seeing Duo Duo shake his head, Liu Mang's expression immediately turned extremely disappointed. Duo Duo

shook the Overlord Ring in his hand and said, "However, this thing might be much more effective than what I can teach you."

Liu Mang looked at the Overlord Ring, thinking that Duo Duo must be saying this to comfort him. He simply couldn't believe that such a tattered thing could be so magical. You see, in Liu Mang's eyes, all treasures radiated light. Like gold coins. And like the two radiant treasures Duo Duo had just given him.

Duo Duo reached into his robes and held the Chastity Ring in his hand. Duo Duo communicated with the old lecher through their shared consciousness.

"Hey, tell me how to use that Overlord Ring! Can't you see I'm about to lose face in front of my disciple?" Duo Duo urged impatiently.

"What's the rush! Let me think about it some more, so I can be more confident," the old lecher said slowly, seething with anger, but daring not to utter a single curse. This guy could sense his thoughts now, and if he cursed, the guy might deliberately sabotage the experiment with the Overlord Ring.

Finally, the old lecher didn't deliberately delay. After a moment, Duo Duo heard the old lecher say, "Alright."

"How do I use it?" Duo Duo asked.

"Inject your energy into the Overlord Ring. The key to that magic circle will definitely create an obstacle. Then, just destroy the key. If possible, try to leave some of your energy in the ring; this will also benefit your disciple!" the old lecher explained.

Duo Duo nodded, pinched the Overlord Ring between two fingers, and channeled the Nine Yang Energy into it.

Instantly, a red aura surged at his fingertips, gradually becoming dazzling, filling the room with a scorching heat.

"Slow down, slow down!" the old lecher hurriedly called out.

Duo Duo quickly withdrew the Nine Yang Energy. He asked疑惑地问道, "What's wrong? Didn't you tell me to do this?"

The old lecher said irritably, "The key to breaking this key is controlling the strength of the energy. If it's too strong, wouldn't it break the magic circle?" Hearing the old lecher's words,

Duo Duo

secretly felt lucky; thankfully, he hadn't used his full strength. Otherwise, even if the Overlord Ring didn't melt into liquid, it would be useless.

Following the old lecher's instructions, Duo Duo acted even more carefully, controlling the Nine Yang Energy to be like a thin needle as he channeled it into the Overlord Ring.

To Duo Duo's surprise… This Overlord Ring looked pitifully small, but the amount of energy it contained was astonishing. After a while, Duo Duo's Nine Yang Energy finally sensed a slight resistance within the Overlord Ring. Following the old lecher's instructions, Duo Duo slowly increased the intensity of his Nine Yang Energy, suppressing the obstacle.

*Crack...

* Duo Duo seemed to hear such a sound, and the obstacle was destroyed and disappeared before the Nine Yang Energy.

Suddenly, the Overlord's Ring began to shimmer with light. The once plain and colorless ring had transformed; its golden surface now radiated a brilliant glow, with countless tiny lines coiling around it. "

This must be a magic circle..."

Duo Duo guessed to himself. It seemed the alchemist was far more powerful than he had imagined, managing to conceal such an intricate magic circle within such a small ring, and even setting up such a wondrous internal mechanism.

The old lecher sensed Duo Duo's thoughts and chuckled smugly before saying, "Kid, are you convinced now? Let me tell you, alchemists are even more powerful than you think! We alchemists, without exaggeration, all possess hands that can turn the rotten into the miraculous..."

Duo Duo thought resentfully, "Damn it. It's more like others have hands that can turn the rotten into the miraculous. You old lecher... at most, you have hands that can turn purity into lust..." But then

, the old lecher sensed Duo Duo's words... Instead, he laughed even more triumphantly: "Turning purity into lewdness? Not bad, not bad, think about it. Transforming a pure maiden into a harlot. What a wonderful process that would be..."

"Master... this is too amazing, how did it suddenly become like this?" Liu Mang stared wide-eyed at the Overlord Ring in Duo Duo's hand, which was now shimmering with golden light. He asked eagerly.

Duo Duo glanced at Liu Mang and said, "Didn't you say you didn't want it?"

"I want it! I want it! Only a fool wouldn't want something so amazing!" Liu Mang shouted. Then, he chuckled and said, "Master, didn't you praise me for being smart? How could such a smart disciple be a fool? Right? Just give it to me, I was wrong earlier, okay?"

Duo Duo didn't want to make things difficult for Liu Mang. Anyway, the Overlord Ring was going to be given to him, and even if he refused, she would force it onto his hand.

Liu Mang happily accepted the Overlord Ring. After playing with it for a while, he carefully put it on his right thumb as instructed by Duo Duo.

Because of Liu Mang's small stature, the Overlord Ring was quite loose on his thumb.

"Holy crap! It's changing by itself!" Liu Mang exclaimed.

Sure enough, the Overlord Ring was shrinking at a visible speed, and after a moment, it was tightly wrapped around Liu Mang's thumb, as if custom-made.

Suddenly, at the very moment the Overlord Ring reached its limit, a golden light flashed on the ring, instantly flowing like water throughout Liu Mang's body.

"Ouch!"

Liu Mang cried out in surprise, his body falling to the ground with a thud.

Duo Duo exclaimed, "What happened?" and went to check on Liu Mang.

The old lecher said slowly, "It's nothing, just a normal reaction. Who knew your disciple's body was so weak, suddenly gaining so much strength? There needs to be an adaptation period, you know. That's a hundred times his original strength!"

Duo Duo was immediately stunned.

Just then, Liu Mang's body suddenly sprang up, jumping and leaping wildly on the ground, shouting wildly, "Master, save me! What's wrong with me? I can't stop!"

The old lecher chuckled, "Just wait, he'll be fine after he's exhausted."

Duo Duo helplessly watched Liu Mang's wildly jumping body, and was surprised to see that Liu Mang's body was beginning to undergo subtle changes as he jumped. His body gradually became stronger, and slowly, his clothes were stretched taut by his bulging muscles.

A moment later, with a ripping sound, Liu Mang's upper body clothes were forcibly torn open, revealing his bare skin, with veins bulging and blood vessels clearly visible, and his muscles gradually becoming knotted...

Oh!

Liu Mang jumped and shouted, suddenly possessing tremendous power. He couldn't maintain his balance at all.

Bang, bang, bang—the sounds echoed incessantly.

One moment a table leg broke from his impact… the next a chair shattered…

Hexagram possessed power, but that didn't mean his physical strength had increased accordingly. Even if it had increased, it was only a limited amount corresponding to his power.

So, poor Hexagram, frantically struggling against the tables and chairs, ended up with bruises all over his face and numerous bumps on his head.

Looking at Hexagram's current state, Duoduo suddenly felt a sense of familiarity… he remembered… a deity from his past life named Buddha…

Duoduo couldn't bear to watch any longer. Anyway, this guy wouldn't be in any real danger. Let him jump and crash around here slowly; luckily, there was enough furniture in the room. Probably enough for him to crash into.

"Hexagram, I'm leaving, you can play all you want…" Duoduo chuckled, turned, and left Hexagram's room.

At that moment, it actually started to drizzle outside—such weather was rare in Mandala City.

Just as Duoduo was standing in the rain, about to enjoy the refreshing coolness of the drizzle, a streak of lightning, like a golden snake darting wildly, suddenly flashed across the gloomy sky, followed by a deafening roar of thunder!

Pitter-patter...

large raindrops began to fall without warning. Duoduo cursed his bad luck and quickly circulated his Nine Yang Energy, speeding away.

As he passed a house, he suddenly remembered that it was where wandering spirits lived, and he also recalled the old lecher's appearance.

"Damn it, that old lecher actually said that dead-faced guy was a woman?

No one in their right mind would believe that!"

Duoduo pursed his lips, thinking to himself.

At this moment, Duo Duo was unaware that the Chastity Ring was still in his hand. When the old lecher sensed his thoughts, he immediately protested loudly, "You brat, you can doubt anything about me, but you can't doubt my sensitivity to women. Let me tell you! That's an insult to me!"

"Please! Even if you said Hexagram was a woman, I might not believe you, but saying that dead-faced woman is a woman? You might as well kill me!" Duo Duo said.

"How about we make a bet?" the old lecher suddenly suggested.

"What kind of bet?" Duo Duo asked suspiciously.

"We'll bet on whether she's a woman! If you lose, you can make me do anything from now on!" The old lecher's bet was very tempting; he could do anything. That was clearly already a servant. Having such a guy as a servant was definitely a valuable asset!

"What if I lose?"

Although the old lecher's bet made Duo Duo's heart flutter, he still had to ask clearly first. You know, gambling is inherently unpredictable; no one is guaranteed to win, and no one is guaranteed to lose!

"Hehe...then you'll have to go on the ground according to my plan...but you have to give me the virgin blood..." The old lecher chuckled lewdly.

Holy crap!

This is too outrageous!

This old lecher not only said that dead-faced woman was a woman, but he was also very confident that she was a virgin!

Duo Duo couldn't believe such a ridiculous claim!

But...thinking about it, what if he lost and had to sleep with that dead-faced woman?

Duo Duo immediately protested, "Damn it, I won't take this bet! Making me sleep with that guy is like making me rape a sow..."

"Tsk tsk...times have really changed, people these days have no courage..." The old lecher clicked his tongue, making sarcastic remarks.

"You old bastard! Don't try to provoke me, I won't fall for it!" Duo Duo said fiercely.

The old lecher let out a mocking laugh, saying, "Since you know I'm trying to provoke you, then don't fall for it. Weren't you so confident just now that he wasn't a woman? Why are you so insecure now?"

Duo Duo's face burned with embarrassment, even the raindrops on his face couldn't cool him.

Thinking about it carefully, he realized he was indeed showing a lack of confidence. That wandering soul was thin and frail, incredibly ugly… Damn! Adam's apple!

Duo Duo's eyes lit up; he suddenly remembered seeing an Adam's apple on the wandering soul's neck—a unique symbol of manhood! Duo Duo

's heart immediately calmed, filled with unwavering confidence. "Hehe, old lecher, just wait to become my servant! Damn it, the first thing I'll do after I become your master is force you to sunbathe!" Duo Duo chuckled. "Well, you'll have to win first, won't you?" The old lecher remained confident even at this point. Then, the old lecher said, "Have you decided to make the bet? You'd better think it through!" "I have! But how do we verify the outcome? Do we have to strip him naked?" The thought of personally stripping the wandering soul naked made Duo Duo feel nauseous. "Hehe. To tell you the truth, I sensed the aura of a magic circle on that woman. You know, for an alchemist like me, I'm incredibly sensitive to magic circles. If I'm not mistaken, his face is a crafted magical artifact! Then, you can just destroy his mask, right? You can't not tell the gender just by looking, can you?" The old lecher grinned wickedly. Duo Duo's face froze, and he cursed, "You old bastard, you're holding back! Damn it! This isn't fair!" "Who cares about fairness? Anyway, you've already agreed to bet with me! You have some kind of advantage that I don't know about, right?" the old lecher said. Duo Duo thought about it and realized that what the old lecher said made some sense. He didn't know that the wandering soul wore such a strange mask. And the old lecher didn't know either. Dodo had once seen that the Wanderer had a large Adam's apple… Dodo looked up at the sky; the raindrops were getting bigger, and thick, dark clouds covered the sky, making it impossible to tell what time it was. Thinking about it, in this weather, with the sky so dark, Linda, Xiuzhen, and Alice probably wouldn't be up yet, right? Anyway, the Wanderer's strength was inferior to hers. As long as she destroyed his magic mask using the old lecher's method, the outcome would be clear, and it probably wouldn't waste much time! Having made up her mind, Dodo turned and flashed towards the Wanderer's dwelling. In the Wanderer's room, a dim yellow light shone. Dodo easily found the corner where she had hidden before and peeked into the room. Inside, the Wanderer stood in front of the table, head down, carefully examining the pattern of lines that Dodo had seen before. This made Dodo even more curious about that pattern. What was it that made the Wanderer look at it so carefully every day? "Kid, remember this: once you're in the room, you need to destroy the key to the magic circle on her magic mask as quickly as possible!" the old lecher ordered. "*How am I supposed to know that's the key to the magic circle?" Duo Duo asked. "Don't rush me! I haven't finished telling you yet!" the old lecher chuckled, then uttered something that sent chills down Duo Duo's spine: "The key to the magic circle on her magic mask is... her Adam's apple..." Oh my god ! I 've been tricked! I've been tricked! Duo Duo cried out inwardly, *.* He thought that Adam's apple was his winning chip! But he never expected that this old lecher knew that too! And he confidently said that Adam's apple was some kind of bullshit magic circle key... At this point, even a fool would realize that the old lecher was playing a game he was sure to win! And Duo Duo's gamble, which he thought was so sure of success, now seemed to have been entirely within the old lecher's calculations! Looking around the room... Clad in a baggy black robe, the extremely thin wandering spirit made Duo Duo think sadly. "Heavens! If this guy were a woman… how ugly he would be!" Now, he could either run away like a coward, but then he'd probably be despised by that old lecher and would never have any standing in his eyes. Or, he could grit his teeth and charge forward, praying to all the gods and Buddhas, all beings who could protect people, praying that since the wandering spirit's figure was already terrible, at least his face would be somewhat presentable? At least… at least not too repulsive! Duo Duo grew increasingly uneasy. His heart was in turmoil. After staring at the wandering spirit for a moment, his heart began to pound with the thought of retreating! " Damn it, so be it!" Duo Duo gritted his teeth, deciding to run away! But as soon as this thought crossed his mind, he realized it was too late. That damned old lecher had unleashed a burst of black mist with all his might. The mist slammed against the windowpane of the wandering ghost, and then the old lecher, panting heavily, chuckled intermittently, "Trying to escape? No way, kid. Now that you've alerted her and she's come out, you should at least take a look. What if she's a beauty? You'll regret it then! Look at her, her tattered black robe is so baggy! Back in our day, many hot women deliberately used such baggy robes to hide their beautiful bodies..." It has to be said, the old lecher's words were quite convincing! However, Duo Duo had no time to think further! The moment the black mist struck the window frame, the wandering ghost had already flashed out of the room like a phantom, now standing not far from Duo Duo. When the wandering ghost saw Duo Duo clearly, it couldn't help but exclaim, "It's you?" Duo Duo cursed inwardly for this old bastard playing a trick on him. At the same time, it swore that one day, when the sun was shining brightly, it would give this old bastard a good sunbath. Because the chastity ring was still tightly clutched in his hand, Duo Duo's thoughts could be completely transmitted to the soul residing within it. What infuriated Duo Duo was that the old man seemed to have vanished without a trace after his prank, showing no reaction whatsoever. Even the terrifying threat of sunbathing failed to elicit the slightest response. It seemed this old fellow was clearly planning to watch a show without paying! *You want to watch a show? I'll make sure you don't get your way!* Duo Duo secretly resolved. "So late..." The wandering soul was already suspicious of Duo Duo's appearance in the rainy night. Now, seeing Duo Duo not only silent but also seemingly lost in thought, it felt uneasy, wondering what this terrifyingly strange fellow's true intentions were. Before he could finish speaking, Duoduo waved his hand to interrupt him, saying, "Nothing... just taking a walk... just taking a walk. Hehe..." Duoduo intended to give a perfunctory reply and then turn away, completely thwarting the old ghost's little scheme of watching the show for free. However, his attitude only aroused the wandering ghost's suspicion, his deep eyes filled with doubt. The ghost stared at Duoduo with a flickering gaze, showing no sign of relaxing. Duoduo chuckled dryly, intending to turn and leave. But unexpectedly, black mist suddenly enveloped the surroundings. Duoduo, standing within it, could sense that the black mist was merely terrifying in appearance, containing no energy whatsoever. It was truly a perfect prop for creating a frightening atmosphere; needless to say, that old ghost was definitely stirring up trouble again, trying to keep the world in order.

Dodo understood that the mist was merely a facade, lacking any real substance, but the wandering spirit's perception was entirely different. Having cultivated necromancy and possessed considerable expertise in it, the wandering spirit genuinely sensed an evil aura within the black mist, causing a chill to run down its spine. It abruptly took a step back, its eyes filled with even greater vigilance.

That night, the wind howled even more fiercely, and the torrential rain poured down, even more intensely than before. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning seemed to cleave the heavens and earth in two. In that sudden flash of lightning, the world was instantly illuminated as bright as day.

Under these circumstances, to avoid being bathed in the light, Dodo's body emitted a faint red glow, and black mist swirled around it. If it were to suggest any good intentions, even a ghost wouldn't believe it.

"You've come here so late. What brings you here?"

The wandering soul hesitated for a moment, his tone still quite polite, but his body was already radiating energy. Facing this terrifying figure whose strength was clearly greater than his own, the wandering soul dared not relax in the slightest, and dared not conceal his power, unleashing the dark energy of necromancy. The black mist emanating from his body was obviously much denser than that around Duo Duo.

In the wandering soul's view, Duo Duo was too cunning. This could be seen from the fact that he forced him to become his subordinate but did not take over as leader, instead ordering that good-for-nothing boy to take over as leader. He was completely unpredictable and his actions were truly unfathomable.

Poor Duo Duo, if he knew that he had no ulterior motives and that his decision was made on a whim, and was being labeled as cunning, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

As the dark energy from the wandering soul's body erupted, a pungent stench began to permeate the air. Despite the large raindrops and raging wind, the stench did not lessen in the slightest; on the contrary, it became even stronger. Duo

Duo frowned, cursing the old man inwardly. He knew tonight's events wouldn't be easily resolved.

Just then, Da Nian Zhang, who had been quiet for a while but had just successfully caused trouble, became active again. A strange laugh, "

Two Hundred and Nine Soul Curses

, Hehehehe..." echoed in Duo Duo's mind. Da Nian Zhang's smug voice said triumphantly, "Kid, you'll have a hard time getting away this time, hehe. But if you fulfill the bet now, this old man won't blame you for trying to break it earlier."

Damn it!

That damned old bastard seems to have forgotten that my life is in his hands!

He won't blame me for breaking the bet?

Then I'll blame him for causing trouble... you bastard!

Duo Duo was almost driven mad with anger. His furrowed brows and furious glint flashed in his eyes.

People say, when you're down on your luck, even drinking cold water can be a problem. Just as Duo Duo's face contorted in a grotesque expression, another bolt of lightning struck. His twisted handsome face and the raging flames in his eyes were clearly seen by You Hun…

Suddenly!

You Hun let out a piercing shriek. Knowing that a fight was inevitable, and that his strength was far inferior to his opponent's, You Hun hoped this shriek would attract some of his men. In his recent contemplation, he believed that Duo Duo's arrival at this time was likely to silence him, eliminating this obstacle so that the good-for-nothing could slowly and truly seize control of the Black Blood Society.

If that were the case, and if any members came, this terrifying fellow might not be able to act openly in front of everyone. However, the downside was that Duo Duo might become enraged and kill all his members.

But if Duo Duo did kill his members, then You Hun would have a chance to breathe and hope of escape.

Although he didn't want his members to die for him, he carried a huge secret and a deep-seated hatred. Desperate to survive, he could only rely on sacrificing others to protect himself!

His left hand, stained with crimson battle aura, dyed the raindrops around him a striking crimson. A crimson battle aura javelin, about the length of an arm, rapidly materialized, slicing through the thick curtain of water and hurtling towards Duo Duo with chilling killing intent.

His right hand, accompanied by a rapidly moving incantation, unleashed countless fist-sized black skulls, raining down upon Duo Duo like a swarm of menacing bullets.

At this moment, the stench of decay intensified, making Duo Duo vomit.

His inner turmoil wasn't the fierce and powerful attack, but rather the thought: "God! If this guy is really a woman… she'll probably have some disgusting odor like armpit odor!

God!

That old bastard's wager is that damn virgin blood!

Damn it, let him kill me!"

Duo Duo couldn't help but cry out in despair, but his hands didn't stop for a moment. *Just kidding, just venting!

I can always renege on the bet later. * Was he really going to let this deadpan, smelly-armpit-wearing guy kill him?!

His blissful life had only just begun; only a fool would want to die!

Having experienced many battles, Duo Duo, though still lacking in fighting techniques, had accumulated considerable combat experience. His movements were far more agile than usual. A

powerful burst of Nine Yang energy suddenly erupted. Dazzling like an eerie setting sun in the rain, the intense heat evaporated all the raindrops around him, the mist obscuring Duo Duo and the wandering soul.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Duo Duo unleashed the full power of Nine Yang energy with both hands. The incomparably powerful red aura formed two enormous energy hands. In Duo Duo's consciousness, one of the giant red energy hands forcefully grabbed at the red battle aura spear.

Bang…

A muffled sound, the mist exploded, the smell of the evaporating mist mingling with the stench of the rotting dark energy meeting and dissolving with the Nine Yang energy, creating an even more pungent odor.

A sudden burst of light flashed, then dimmed, revealing a giant energy hand formed from Duo Duo's Nine Yang Energy. After colliding head-on with the red battle aura spear, the energy hand shrank by nearly half. However, the battle aura spear vanished completely. With its obstruction gone, the energy hand swept towards the wandering soul like lightning.

The wandering soul had already anticipated this; the instant his battle aura spear disappeared, his body blurred into a blur. A piercing chant echoed.

"Wow! This girl's necromancy is so powerful, hehe... I've struck gold! Kid, keep it up!" Da Nian Zhang shouted as if he'd won the lottery.

Duo Duo was about to unleash a torrent of curses when countless small black skulls were already upon him. The cracking sound of the skulls' swaying jaws had a strange, bewitching effect. Duo Duo felt dizzy. Fortunately, the Nine Yang Energy sensed the danger and surged within him, eliminating the demonic influence.

"Damn you, little panda! Go to hell!"

Duo Duo roared, exerting force with both hands simultaneously. The giant hand, which had been idle, slammed down towards the skulls with lightning speed.

To Duo Duo's astonishment, the skulls, which looked like phantoms formed from dark energy, actually veered away as if they were alive, strangely avoiding the giant hand formed from the Nine Yang energy. The

giant energy hand rushed straight forward, completely destroying a tall, solid black stone artificial mountain not far away. With a loud explosion, the artificial mountain was reduced to dust.

Such astonishing energy not only made the wandering spirits even more terrified, but even Duo Duo was stunned. In the past, this Nine Yang energy was used to attack people; this was the first time it had been used to attack a mountain. Duo Duo had not expected such a terrifying force, and his confidence soared, giving him a moment of exhilarating pride, as if he were looking down on the world.

After dodging the giant energy hand, the dark energy skulls suddenly gathered together, the dark energy coalescing into a ball, and an even larger skull appeared above Duo Duo. The skull leaped up and down. In an instant, it seemed as if all the dark energy in the surrounding air had been sucked away.

Amidst the billowing black mist, the skull grew even larger, and with a series of piercing crackling sounds, Duo Duo saw countless pale white hand bones slowly emerge from the ground, and a faint blue light appeared in the rain. In the blue light, Duo Duo seemed to see nearly ten ghostly knights riding ghostly horses, wielding greatswords and spears, charging towards him…

Goodness!

Is this a horror movie?!

Duo Duo was startled. Although he didn't yet know what the power of this situation would be, its appearance was truly terrifying!

Damn, such a powerful technique. Why didn't the Wandering Soul use it last time?

Back then, he was injured; if the Wandering Soul had used this move, he probably would have been killed!

Thinking of this, Duo Duo couldn't help but feel a lingering fear.

Suddenly… Da Nian Zhang's incessant voice rang out again, his tone filled with astonishment. "Ah! A soul curse! He actually cultivated a soul curse! Destroy that skull quickly, otherwise that girl will become a complete corpse, and what virgin blood will she have left?"

Da Nian Zhang's exclamation contained several terms that Duo Duo didn't understand, but there wasn't time for him to ask. Da Nian Zhang shouted again, "Quick, quickly break his necromancy curse! Smash it, smash that skull!"

At this moment, the spell seemed to have entered its most difficult phase. This soul curse was a taboo in the realm of necromancy; even the most vicious necromancer wouldn't dare use such a near-self-destructive spell. When the necromancy curse was complete, the body's blood would become an offering to the devil, and the soul would be sold to the devil.

The mage who used the necromancy curse would also become a corpse, possessing only consciousness but no longer feeling anything, and devoid of pleasure. There would be no more sorrow, no more fear… and his body would gradually stiffen, becoming a living mummy devoid of blood and moisture.

If the wandering soul hadn't come with the intention of secretly eliminating him, he wouldn't have used this forbidden magic. The wandering soul's origins gave his life a special meaning; he had to live, to strive to live, regardless of the cost, even if it meant becoming a lifeless corpse. He could still fulfill his mission. The

wandering soul's body trembled, his lips moving as he uttered a muffled incantation, an obscure but extremely piercing sound…

The skull in mid-air grew larger, black mist forming a glossy black barrier around it. Large raindrops struck the barrier and vanished instantly. With the clicking sound of the skull's jaws opening and closing, a faint black line appeared between

the glossy black barrier and the wandering soul's body. A painful groan escaped his lips, and the indistinct line turned a striking blood red—the wandering soul… The blood within his body was rushing towards the skull at a rapid pace. Crackling sounds filled the air as it received the fresh blood imbued with the necromantic power of the caster. The enormous skull, strangely, began to grow crimson flesh, its face becoming even more grotesque and terrifying. The powerful aura of death hidden behind the skull instantly filled the world! Duo Duo was completely stunned by this bizarre scene, momentarily forgetting the danger he was in. Da Nian Zhang's voice became incredibly shrill. The Chastity Ring flickered restlessly in Duo Duo's palm, but unfortunately, after using his soul energy to disrupt things, Da Nian Zhang had very little left, and the ring's movement was almost negligible. Such a small movement couldn't possibly wake the dazed Duo Duo. Suddenly, golden light bloomed at Duo Duo's waist. The dazzling light bathed everything around it in a golden halo… the Sealing Magic Set! Yes, the Sealing Magic Set! The Sealing Magic Gauntlet, which Duo Duo had tucked into his waistband but hadn't put on, suddenly exhibited a strange phenomenon. A blinding golden light flashed, jolting Duo Duo back to reality. A roar… At that moment, the grotesque, fleshy skull opened its massive maw, and two smaller skulls, one black and one red, shot towards Duo Duo like lightning. Duo Duo's heart pounded, and he hurriedly circulated his Nine Yang Energy. In the tension, the energy hand formed by the Nine Yang Energy condensed was even larger than before, and it met the two smaller skulls with even greater force. "Heavens! The Sealing Hand… Oh my god, the world six hundred years from now is too… insane!" Da Nian Zhang seemed to have forgotten his self-proclaimed gentlemanly nature, and upon sensing the Sealing Magic Gauntlet, he actually exclaimed in a foul language. It's understandable; as an old monster from six hundred years ago, although Da Nian Zhang was known for his lewdness, no one questioned his status as the number one alchemist. Besides his superb alchemy skills, he also possessed a wealth of knowledge. The instant the Sealed Magic Gear changed, he recognized what it was. However, the name it used seemed different from what Duo Duo knew. It wasn't called the Sealed Magic Gear, but the Sealing Hand! The gigantic skull, having absorbed almost all the blood of wandering souls, exuded a chilling killing intent that made Duo Duo inexplicably tense. Hearing Da Nian's furious roar, he didn't have time to think. Instinctively, he pulled out the Sealed Magic Gear, not even bothering to put it on, and slammed it towards the skull. *Crack!* A deafening sound, no less than thunder and lightning, rang out. Even before the Sealed Magic Gear collided with the skull, it had already unleashed a dazzling golden light. The impact was earth-shattering. The golden light exploded upon impact, and the Sealed Magic Gear began to spin around the gigantic skull on its own. The hideous, bloodthirsty skull seemed to be completely countered by the Sealed Magic Gear. The chilling killing intent vanished instantly, and even the sinister aura seemed to have weakened considerably. *Chirp chirp chirp…* The enormous skull emitted a piercing, terrifying sound. Its gaping maw, dripping with red blood, opened and closed, and countless laughing skulls chased after the Sealed Magic Set. Unfortunately, the dazzling golden light seemed to be the skulls' nemesis. Before the smaller skulls could even touch the Sealed Magic Set, they were already swallowed and melted by the golden afterimages created by its rotation. Gradually, the Sealed Magic Set's rotation speed increased, and the set itself became blurred in its high-speed motion. *Whoosh whoosh… * The golden afterimages formed a distinct halo, which, driven by the set's rapid movement, actually formed a tornado-like vortex. And the enormous skull was at the center of the vortex. The space itself began to fluctuate violently! With a sharp crack, the pitch-black space shattered like a pane of glass, splitting open in several directions. The torrential rain mysteriously entered the cracks, creating a strange discontinuity in the rain curtain. It was as if the downpour had flown through the cracks to another, unfamiliar world. The vortex grew larger, and the golden halo became even more dazzling. Roar…

With a sharp, powerful roar, the monster sealed within the magic array coalesced in mid-air once more. A massive beast head swayed from side to side, its triangular eyes fixed intently on Duo Duo. The scene resembled a loyal, well-trained dog awaiting its master's command; without a doubt, the moment the master gave the order to attack, it would tear its opponent to shreds!

Duo Duo knew the magic array's power, but tonight's scene paled in comparison. Good heavens, this was straight out of a sci-fi blockbuster from his past life

!

No! Even the computer-generated special effects of his past life couldn't produce such a magnificent effect!

"Kid! Don't let the Devouring Beast swallow that skull! Don't!" Da Nian Zhang's voice rang out anxiously.

The Devouring Beast?

Duo Duo was stunned, momentarily at a loss!

Da Nian Zhang exclaimed in panic, "Recall the sealing hand! Just use your mind, use your mind, understand?!"

In that instant, the situation on the field had undergone a bizarre transformation.

As the vortex grew larger, the surrounding air seemed to be sucked away instantly, even the thunder and lightning vanished in an instant.

Between heaven and earth, only the enormous golden vortex remained.

The bloody skull at the center of the vortex had shrunk considerably; the flesh and blood that had grown from it in the necromancy were gradually disappearing, and the top of its head had returned to its pale, bone-like form!

The wandering spirit's body swayed precariously, like a leaf in a storm, or a lone boat in a raging sea. It trembled violently, its deep eyes dimming, revealing immense pain, yet its deathly face remained expressionless.

Seeing this, Duo Duo immediately believed Da Nian Zhang's judgment: the wandering spirit was indeed wearing a disguise mask with a small magic circle.

To be honest, Duo Duo didn't care about the wandering spirit's life or death.

That damned dead face, if it were truly dead, would save a lot of trouble.

But when he realized the ghost was wearing a mask, a strong curiosity arose in his heart. What kind of face was hidden behind that mask?

Could it be that Zhang was right, it was a woman?

Growing increasingly curious, Duo Duo had an idea: since he was already here, he had to see what this mysterious, pretentious guy really looked like!

Duo Duo decided to ignore the sealing magic set for now and use the mask-removing technique Zhang had taught him to remove the dead-face mask. ***, if it really was a beautiful woman, she certainly wouldn't do something so destructive. If it was an ugly bastard…

hehe… then he could just let the sealing magic set kill him!

Then he could just say he hadn't had time to retrieve the sealing magic set, or simply say he didn't know how to use it, and that would be a perfect excuse!

This was definitely the best way to renege on his promise!

Duo Duo, having made up his mind, revealed a wicked smile, completely ignoring Da Nian Zhang's frantic shouts, who already knew his intentions: "Kid, you can't renege on your promise! You bastard! Are you serious?! As a gentleman, this is shameless..." Duo

Duo simply laughed coldly. ***. He had actually forgotten that this old man could find out his thoughts at any moment!

But so what if he knew? I'm not some damn gentleman!

* If he annoys me, I'll dump this old man on some sunny street!

As soon as Duo Duo had this thought, Da Nian Zhang shut up as if he had slammed on the brakes. It seems... even gentlemen are afraid of death!

Although the virgin blood of a wandering soul who had reached this level of necromancy had a miraculous effect on Da Nian Zhang, what did anything else matter compared to death?

Duo Duo circulated his Nine Yang Energy. He flicked his finger lightly. He wasn't yet adept at using the Nine Yang Energy, and had no idea how much force to apply. He could only silently pray that this small amount of Nine Yang Energy wouldn't pierce a hole in the wandering soul's face.

A point of star-like red light from the Nine Yang Energy shot towards the wandering soul's face.

At this moment, because the necromancy performed with her soul was about to be destroyed, the wandering soul was on the verge of death, suffering intense pain. Her trembling body was powerless to dodge the red light shot from

Duo Duo. The red light accurately struck the vital part of the magic array mask that Da Nian Zhang had previously pointed out. The wandering soul's face blurred and swayed. It was as if a layer of murky water was rippling before her face; everything felt unreal.

The wandering soul realized the change in her face and desperately turned her head, letting out a painful groan.

Duo Duo's eyes widened. Fearing to miss any moment of the wandering soul's true appearance ,

the half-faced beauty, 211

, was revealed to Duo Duo after a moment when the magic circle mask was destroyed. Because the wandering soul was desperately turning its head, Duo Duo only saw its profile, just half a face.

But that half... was enough!

Just a profile was dazzlingly beautiful; the lines were more exquisite than any work of art in the world...

a perfectly shaped nose. A mouth devoid of color yet with exquisite contours... watery eyes, even a single glance possessed a captivating magic...

The only flaw was that, due to the use of the soul curse, the wandering soul had lost most of its blood; its stunningly beautiful face was completely bloodless, as pale as a sheet of paper.

"Wow, so beautiful!" Duo

Duo, who had seen many beauties, exclaimed sincerely!

Seeing a glimmer of hope, Da Nian Zhang became active again, urgently reminding, "If you don't withdraw your sealing hand, that beauty will die soon!"

Duo Duo immediately panicked, looking at the golden vortex that had "tortured" the skull to the size of a fist, and the monster lurking nearby, waiting for a command to devour the skull. He hurriedly focused his consciousness, muttering, "Come back...come back...*! You damn well better come back soon..."

Since the sealing magic shield had unintentionally absorbed Duo Duo's blood that night, it had become incredibly obedient.

With Duo Duo's curses, prayers, and swearing, the sealing magic shield spun in the wind and flew back to him. Duo Duo quickly grabbed it, put it on his hand, and then, following Da Nian Zhang's instructions, forcefully grabbed the isolated monster in the air with his hand wearing the sealing magic shield.

In the blink of an eye, the monster exploded, forming a cloud of mist. It swiftly entered Duo Duo's palm.

Then, the hideous monster's head on the golden seal envelope emitted a black halo, the mist formed by the monster having been absorbed.

After the monster disappeared, the small skull had lost all its power.

Da Nian Zhang hurriedly told Duo Duo to smash the skull, but Duo Duo's mind was filled with that incomparably beautiful profile, and she desperately wanted to save the wandering soul. She didn't care about Da Nian Zhang's urgent command. Following Da Nian Zhang's instructions, she waved her hand, unleashing a red light of Nine Yang Energy. With a boom, the small, spinning skull was shattered.

With a cracking sound, the small skull exploded into a red light, like mist, hovering above the wandering soul's head, slowly enveloping it…

With

a soft hissing sound, the red light slowly seeped into the wandering soul's body. As the wandering spirit's body trembled violently, a trace of color finally returned to its pale face.

Duo Duo hurriedly asked through his consciousness, "Old man, what do we do next?"

Da Nian Zhang sighed wearily, saying weakly, "Kid, don't go back on your word. Remember, our bet is her sincere virgin blood..."

"Of course I won't go back on my word!" Duo Duo hurriedly said, "What do we do next? Old man, don't hold back! If you have a better way to treat her, tell me immediately. Don't forget your bet! You're willing, right? At least you have to help me establish a good image in front of her now."

To Duo Duo's dismay, the damned Da Nian Zhang seemed to have vanished instantly, no matter how Duo Duo tried to summon him with his consciousness, there was no response.

The wind gradually subsided, and the torrential rain stopped abruptly without warning, as if the hole in the sky had been suddenly patched up.

Duo Duo carefully examined the wandering soul, its body still slightly trembling, suspended in mid-air.

Even if he wanted to step forward and show off in front of the beautiful woman, he was powerless. Although he knew nothing about martial arts or magic, due to the Nine Yang energy, his sensitivity to energy was extremely acute. Around the wandering soul's body, Duo Duo felt a chaotic energy gradually calming down, estimating that it would return to normal soon. The

wandering soul's head was still turned, and Duo Duo was mesmerized by that half of her breathtakingly beautiful face.

Especially after the concealment of the wandering soul's magical artifact was broken, her body was no longer the thin, flat figure that had been seen before, but revealed its true form—a graceful female figure.

Compared to the other women Duo Duo had been with, the wandering soul's figure was definitely not the most outstanding. She didn't have Alice's large breasts, nor Yana's sexy, plump buttocks, but the wandering soul's body was exceptionally well-proportioned, with curves that were undeniably attractive.

Having grown accustomed to rape and domination, Duo Duo felt a surge of desire. If it weren't for the bet with Da Nian Zhang that required consent, and the fact that he was thoroughly tired of the boring "drop your pants and go" approach after having so many women,

he hesitated for a moment before deciding to use the wandering soul as a practice subject for picking up girls. After all, in both his past and present lives, Duo Duo had absolutely no experience with women. While he had many women in this life, he had always obtained them through force.

Duo Duo didn't want to rape every woman he fancied in the future; that would be pointless!

As Duo Duo sensed the chaotic energy around the wandering soul gradually balancing, he approached it with immense excitement.

Hmm…

the wandering soul, having narrowly escaped death, groaned and woke up. Instinctively, it turned its head towards Duo Duo…

Ah!

When Duoduo saw the other half of the ghost's face, she gasped in surprise. Her heart, which had been burning with passion, instantly cooled as if doused with ice water!

Duoduo remembered a joke from her past life: "Looking from behind makes you want to commit a crime. Looking from the front makes you want to defend yourself!"

This meant that there was a woman in front of her, with a shapely figure and incredibly sexy, looking at her from behind. It would absolutely ignite a man's desire, making him want to pounce on her immediately, even if it meant committing a crime to have his fill. But when the beautiful woman turned around, her face was hideously ugly, completely inversely proportional to her figure, making one instinctively want to defend themselves, fearing they would be the ones to be violated…

This phrase couldn't be more fitting for Youhun, just change two words: "Looking at her right profile makes you want to commit a crime, looking at her left profile makes you want to defend yourself…"

Damn it, how did this woman… how did she grow up to be like this… Duoduo

looked at Youhun with great frustration. One half of her face was breathtakingly beautiful, while the other half was horribly ugly. On her dark face, the muscles were noticeably atrophied, half the size of her right cheek, with grotesque veins bulging out, and her face was covered with blood-red, crack-like spots…

Duoduo immediately had second thoughts. He secretly regretted making that bet with that old man, and even more so, he shouldn't have been so excited and confident that he would never go back on his word.

***, originally thought to be a masterpiece, has now become a veritable counterfeit.

Forget about making Duoduo fulfill the bet, seduce the wandering soul, and obtain virgin blood; just keeping Duoduo by her side for even a little while longer would be absolute torture.

The wandering soul slightly regained consciousness, initially expecting to become a living corpse with only consciousness after using ultimate necromancy.

However, after slightly moving her body, she felt no stiffness in her joints, nor the numbness described in the records. Subconsciously looking down at her hands, she was surprised to find that she hadn't become a living corpse. Although her body felt weak and tired, its functions were perfectly healthy.

Realizing her body was unharmed, she noticed that the magical gadget concealing her appearance had been broken. Then, feeling a cold wind on her face, she cried out in surprise and frantically covered her face.

Taking advantage of this moment, Duoduo quietly moved her feet and turned to escape.

But then he heard the wandering spirit behind him say resentfully, "I'm going to kill you!"

Duo Duo felt utterly helpless; he'd inexplicably provoked such a strange fellow. He secretly cursed the old man who had instigated him, vowing to make that old geezer enjoy a good sunbath…

to be honest. When Duo Duo felt the wandering spirit's overwhelming resentment and its cold, vengeful voice, a murderous intent surged within him.

He didn't want any enemies. As the saying goes, it's not the thief you should fear, but the one who has his eye on you!

Duo Duo's dream was a peaceful life. Enjoying romantic encounters, and indulging in a bit of heroism at night when bored—that was a tranquil and interesting life. That was what Duo Duo longed for.

But if there was such a terrifying person who hated him to the core, and he had to be constantly on guard against this person's revenge, then undoubtedly, his peaceful life would be disrupted.

This was something Duo Duo absolutely could not allow!

Even the two hundred and twelve lecherous wolves were afraid,

but then he thought… She was the one who initiated this whole thing. If she hadn't been misled by Da Nian Zhang and foolishly made that bet, this unfortunate situation wouldn't have happened.

Anyway, she was in her spirit form now, so even if the wandering spirit wanted revenge, it would be against her in this form. That wasn't so scary; let her take revenge, she couldn't beat her anyway!

After gaining more experience using the Sealing Magic Set and witnessing its magical power, Duo Duo became even more confident, completely disregarding the wandering spirit's vow of revenge.

Just as Duo Duo hesitated, the wandering spirit's cold voice rang out again: "Didn't you come to kill me? Then do it now, or I'll kill you sooner or later!"

Kill her?

Duo Duo was stunned for a moment, then realized that her actions could easily cause this misunderstanding. No wonder this guy was willing to risk becoming a living corpse to fight her to the death.

"Why would I kill you?" Duo Duo shrugged and smiled. Speaking to such a strange and terrifying face felt absolutely terrible.

The wandering soul was also stunned for a moment. In her view, this powerful figure's sudden appearance and attack on such a night was definitely an attempt to silence her and completely control the Black Blood Society.

But right now, she was exhausted and powerless, making it the perfect opportunity to kill her!

So why hadn't this powerful figure made a move yet?

Could it be that his intention wasn't to kill him at all, but rather because his secret had been discovered…?

Thinking this, Youhun felt his speculation was even more plausible. From the very beginning, when that good-for-nothing kid took the stolen treasures from the Heavenly Vine Elf Empire and inexplicably chose his small jewelry store instead of the large ones in Mandala City, to this powerful figure coercing him into becoming his subordinate…

You see, in terms of both size and strength, the Black Blood Society was the weakest among the underground organizations in Mandala City. If it weren't for the Hermit Guild secretly maintaining the balance of power and restraining other gangs, the Black Blood Society would probably have long been a target for other gangs.

Based on the terrifying strength this guy displayed, he was definitely capable of subduing other gangs, yet he abandoned the powerful ones and chose the weakest. It was impossible to say there wasn't a conspiracy!

For someone as calculating and cunning as Youhun, who lived his life constantly, it was easy to complicate simple matters.

The series of events that unfolded were purely unintentional. This became part of a long-brewing conspiracy in the mind of the wandering soul, who immediately labeled Duo Duo as a treacherous individual with immense power…

If Duo Duo knew what the wandering soul was thinking, it's hard to say whether he would be bitter or smug!

Duo Duo wished he could disappear from the wandering soul's sight immediately, but seeing that the wandering soul had misunderstood him, he felt it was best to clarify the misunderstanding. Although he didn't care about the wandering soul, Liu Mang was still in the Black Blood Society after all. Duo

Duo chuckled twice and said, "Um… you misunderstood. I was just passing by… and wanted to say hello."

Duo Duo's words were full of flaws. Passing by on a stormy night… and saying hello… no one would believe it, let alone the wandering soul.

The wandering soul's mind raced, thinking of a way to deal with Duo Duo.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now…" Duo Duo said with a smile, looking like he was eager to leave.

This sight left the wandering soul utterly bewildered, completely unable to fathom Duo Duo's actions, feeling utterly confused. Duo Duo before him seemed unfathomable, shrouded in mystery.

After a moment, the wandering soul nodded, silently letting Duo Duo leave.

Since he couldn't figure out this guy's intentions, he would remain calm and wait to see what his true scheme was!

Duo Duo, having received permission to leave, was overjoyed, not even bothering to speak. She simply waved her hand, then shot off like an arrow, leaving a red afterimage, like a rocket.

In the courtyard, a cool breeze blew.

The wandering soul stood in the courtyard, silently staring at the direction Duo Duo had disappeared, her eyes filled with doubt.

Suddenly, a cloud of black mist emanated from her body. She groaned, her body swaying. Upon closer inspection, one could clearly see that the instant the black mist appeared, several more hideous blood-red markings appeared on her ghostly, ugly left face.

A moment later, the trembling of the wandering soul gradually subsided. She sighed, turned, and went into her room. This night was destined to be sleepless. Burdened with immense worries and secrets, her plan was already fraught with difficulties, but now, with the appearance of Duoduo, the road ahead seemed even more arduous and thorny… What

frustrated her most was that forcibly fusing necromancy with battle aura and risking her life to rapidly improve her necromancy was shortening her lifespan; she was nearing her end…

Duoduo ran frantically back to her room at the Half-Step Duo Inn. Without even speaking to the waiting Yana, she sat on the bed, panting heavily.

Yana looked at Duoduo with surprise. What had made this girl so flustered?

“Master, what’s wrong?” Yana approached Duoduo, gently patting her back, and asked softly.

“You scared me to death!” Duoduo recalled the half-distorted face of the wandering soul. Recalling the terrifying and eerie combination of the devil's and angel's faces,

Yana still felt a lingering fear. She paused, knowing full well the power of Duo Duo, yet this powerful figure was afraid. How terrifying must his opponent be?

Yana, now focusing her attention on Mandala City, felt even more acutely that Mandala City itself was a fog of mystery; her previous understanding had been far too superficial!

"Master, who frightened you? Can you tell Yana?" A glimmer of hope arose in Yana's heart. If she could find out who had frightened Duo Duo, she wouldn't have to suffer this shameless man's humiliation. She could shift her focus to the more powerful entity and completely escape Duo Duo.

Duo Duo, having caught his breath, glanced at Yana, smiled, and said, "Nothing..."

As he spoke, his eyes lingered on Yana's sexy body, a burning desire rising within him.

Unfortunately, tonight was destined to be a night of unfulfilled desire for Duo Duo. He didn't know why. The image of the wandering spirit kept replaying in his mind, and what bothered him even more was that the bet with Da Nian Zhang kept echoing in Duo Duo's mind, to the point that he couldn't help but imagine a disgusting scene: "His naked body is having sex with the wandering spirit..."

Duo Duo shook his head violently. With a helpless sigh, he climbed off Yana, who had been stripped naked, and whispered, "Put your clothes on!"

Saying that, he slumped to the side, closed his eyes, and tried his best to fall asleep!

Yana originally wanted to ask more questions, but seeing Duo Duo like this, she knew that even if she asked, she wouldn't get anything she wanted to know, so she secretly decided that in the future, when Duo Duo went out at night, she would definitely find a way to follow him...

In the morning, after a night of contemplation, the wandering spirit slowly stood up, reviewed the parchment map in his hand again, and after confirming that all the patterns were imprinted in his mind, a black flame suddenly ignited on his hands, and the parchment map instantly turned to ashes in the flames.

If that insidious and powerful figure wasn't specifically there to kill her, then his target must be this blueprint!

The Wandering Soul was utterly baffled as to how that guy knew she possessed it.

Despite her inability to find a clue, after much contemplation, she finally decided that she would never allow this blueprint, stained with her family's blood, to fall into the hands of an outsider!

Suddenly, two dry coughs came from outside the room, followed by a knock on the door.

"Leader," Pike's voice rang out.

The Wandering Soul quickly circulated her magic, a layer of black light flashing across her body. A moment later, the magical concealment was restored. She was once again the Black Blood Society leader with her usual expressionless, deathly face.

"Come in!" the Wandering Soul said in a deep voice, then turned and walked to a chair, sitting down.

Pike entered the room, coughing twice from the pungent smell of ashes, then bowed and said, "Chief, the Hermit Guild's five-day deadline is over. Shouldn't we notify that kid again? After all, if he doesn't register with the Hermit Guild, it'll implicate our own brothers!"

Wandering Soul hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Go, go and notify him."

As Pike turned to leave, Wandering Soul suddenly called out to him, "Pike, have any strangers appeared at that kid's place these past two days? Isn't his behavior a bit unusual?" (

Two hundred and thirty, profit is the most important. )

Then, the wandering spirit realized that even if that handsome and powerful elf appeared in Hexagram's room, with his superior strength, he wouldn't be noticed by anyone. Asking would be pointless.

Pike thought for a moment and said, "There are no strangers, only that old elf musician. I reported this to you; he's been here every day these past few days."

The wandering spirit nodded and said, "Starting today, assign that boy a personal attendant. Make sure he reports his every move to me daily."

Pike quickly nodded and said, "Chief, if there are no other instructions, I'll go do it."

"Go." The wandering spirit waved his hand, closed his eyes, and fell into the fruitless contemplation he had just been lost in.

Pike quietly turned and left, carefully closing the door behind him.

In Hexagram's room.

"Old man. This is the last page. When you're done, there'll be a reward!" Hexagram said, turning to the last page of the register.

At first, he had carefully looked up the words in the dictionary from the register or ledger and then asked the old elf musician.

Later, seeing that no one was around to disturb him and that no one would discover what he was doing, he simply had the old elven musician teach him to read in the ledger for the sake of speed.

It must be said that even the old elven musician secretly admired Hexagram's talent; this fellow could memorize any word after hearing it only once. If it weren't for the occasional nonsensical remark, the old elven musician might have thought he was already literate and was deliberately making fun of him!

Suddenly, the golden halo of the Overlord Ring on Hexagram's finger flashed and disappeared.

Hexagram frowned and cursed under his breath, "Damn it, who dared to disturb my studies?! Do you think it's easy for someone as simple-minded as me to decide to learn something?!"

After dancing wildly all night to "old-timer disco" and "weird ballet"...etc., and smashing two chairs and a table, Hexagram finally adapted to the powerful strength of the Overlord Ring, and his body underwent a miraculous transformation under its influence.

Hexagram himself was completely unaware of this change, but the benefits he gained were absolutely inexhaustible!

Just now, even without the warning from the Ring of the Overlord, Hexagram sensed someone gradually approaching his room.

A moment later, beautiful music rang out from Hexagram's room, accompanied by Hexagram's vulgar praise and the sound of someone banging on the table, clearly out of sync with the music.

Pike pushed open the door and walked straight into Hexagram's room.

Hexagram's eyes changed, becoming extremely sharp, and he said sternly, "***, didn't your mother teach you what manners are! ***, can't you even knock before entering?!" Hexagram

's insults ignited Pike's anger. If it weren't for the repeated instructions from the Wandering Soul and his deep fear of Duoduo behind Hexagram, Pike would have already beaten this ignorant fellow to the point where even his own mother wouldn't recognize him!

"Leader, the matter is urgent, please forgive my recklessness!" Pike said, swallowing his anger.

A smug look appeared on Six-Pointed Star's face. Damn, after last night, Six-Pointed Star was a completely different person!

Before, he was a little worried, afraid these guys would secretly punish him while his master was away. But since acquiring the powerful Ring of the Overlord, not to mention Pike, even if it were a wandering spirit in front of him, Six-Pointed Star wouldn't belong to him!

"What is it? Speak quickly, don't disturb my enjoyment of the music!" Six-Pointed Star said arrogantly, tilting his head back.

"The Hermit Guild's five-day deadline is today. If the leader doesn't register, the Hermit Guild will punish the entire Black Blood Society!" Pike said in a low voice.

At this moment, Pike was actually hoping Six-Pointed Star would refuse and disrespect the Hermit Guild. Then, the Black Blood Society could completely shift the blame onto Six-Pointed Star and that powerful elf. Hehe… the Hermit Guild's punishment would be very cruel. Even if that elf was powerful, compared to the entire Hermit Guild, he was nothing!

Using the Hermit Guild… Get rid of those two guys… Pike began to dream of becoming a hero of the Blackblood Society, with his subordinates flattering him and the Wanderer praising his dream.

According to his usual arrogant temper, Six Mang would have already slammed his fist on the table and shouted that he wouldn't go.

But after being taught by Duo Duo, Six Mang no longer acted impulsively. Eager to impress Duo Duo, he now thought things through before acting.

So, what Pike expected didn't happen.

After a moment's thought, Six Mang nodded and said, "Get lost, I know!"

Pike was incredibly disappointed. He hesitated, saying, "Leader…"

Six Mang glared impatiently and said, "What else? Didn't I tell you to get lost! Damn it, you're ruining my music!"

"Elder Wanderer said that to ensure your safety, he has decided to select a personal bodyguard for you from among the brothers!" Pike said in a low voice.

"A personal bodyguard?" Six Mang was taken aback.

"Yes, this bodyguard can both protect your safety and serve you."

"Heh heh...you want someone to spy on me, right?" Hexagram chuckled slyly. He saw right through Parker's thoughts.

Parker was incredibly embarrassed by Hexagram's bluntness, and secretly surprised. It seemed this guy wasn't as stupid as he appeared. He'd have to be careful in the future.

He didn't know what Hexagram was up to. After his eyes darted around for a moment, he actually nodded in agreement to Parker's suggestion. He excitedly said, "Get ready, let's have a martial arts competition with the brothers. To be my chief's bodyguard, of course, the strongest must be chosen!"

After nodding in agreement, Parker quickly turned and left. He needed to prepare a list of his most loyal subordinates so that Hexagram could choose from among them. Whoever he chose, Hexagram's actions would be completely transparent.

After Pike left, Hexagram quickly learned the font on the last page from the old elven musician, then gave him a handful of gold coins out of his own pocket. The old elven musician, beaming with delight, bowed repeatedly as he left Hexagram's room.

Around noon, Pike entered Hexagram's room again, telling him that the guard selection competition was ready and inviting him to attend and participate in the selection.

The selection venue was an open space in a corner of the garden where Hexagram resided.

A considerable number of gang members had already gathered around the open space, their faces filled with anticipation and discussion.

Not far from the venue, a row of gang members seemed to be receiving instruction from the Wanderer, including dwarves, elves… of various races. But they all shared a fierce appearance, clearly possessing considerable strength. It

seemed that the Wanderer or Pike had given them specific instructions before Hexagram's arrival.

When Six Mang appeared, those gang members who usually looked down on him and outwardly obeyed but inwardly defied him actually shouted loudly to welcome their leader and voluntarily made way for him.

Seeing their respectful expressions, Six Mang felt no pride whatsoever. Damn it, these hypocritical guys, why can't they learn to be as simple as he is…

The competition hadn't even started yet; just as the gang members participating in the selection approached the edge of the arena, Six Mang gave Pike and Wandering Soul a taste of their own medicine!

“What’s going on? Aren’t we participating in the selection? Why are there only a few people?” Six Mang loudly questioned.

Pike quickly replied, "Reporting to the chief, since this is a selection for your personal bodyguards, naturally, they must be highly skilled. And the brothers currently participating in the selection are all outstanding in various competitions."

Six Mang snorted coldly, pouting, and said, "The past is the past, what does it matter? It's been so long, who knows if they're still outstanding? Maybe someone is already better than them! What you're doing is just too unfair!"

Then, Six Mang loudly declared, "I'll pay out of my own pocket, as long as it's for the competition, I'll reward him with a thousand gold coins!"

He then turned to Pike and said, "A thousand gold coins! Your actions are practically depriving other brothers of the opportunity to receive a thousand gold coins! Don't you feel guilty?"

Six Mang spoke with an air of righteous indignation, as if he were seeking justice for his brothers.

In truth, Six Mang had always been mischievous and cunning, only he hadn't used his talents for good, instead engaging in petty theft and other underhanded activities. But now, amidst these changes, Hexagram's focus has shifted. His sole purpose now is to do something impressive to impress Duo Duo.

Aside from the absolutely loyal members selected by Pike, the others are considerably less loyal.

Many join the gang for a simple reason: this promising career at least guarantees a decent living…

For these people, profit is paramount. So, while they were previously united in their deception of this uneducated outsider, upon hearing about the 1000 gold coin prize, they've started making a ruckus, some already dissatisfied with Pike's actions. His

mere appearance and a single sentence have stirred up many hearts. This behavior surprised not only Pike but even the Wanderer, who immediately realized that this guy himself certainly wouldn't possess such cunning; it must have been secretly taught by that treacherous elf. Seeing the increasingly dissatisfied expressions and murmurs of the surrounding gang members, Hexagram practically burst out laughing! ***, just a thousand gold coins for such an effect, it's damn worth it! Hmm... I must embellish this report to my master. Getting a few compliments wouldn't be bad. Don't forget, the current Hexagram is no longer the beggar vagrant he used to be. The treasures Duo Duo gave him are enough to make him quite wealthy. A mere thousand gold coins are... a drop in the ocean for him! Hexagram seized the opportunity and pulled a glittering crystal card from his pocket, holding it above his head. He shouted, "Brothers, your leader is definitely not a stingy person! Here's a thousand gold coins. Any brother who thinks they can try can sign up now! Heh heh, I'm not exaggerating when I say that whoever becomes my personal bodyguard is practically riding a chariot to heaven! If you please me, there will be big rewards and small rewards every day! Being my personal bodyguard has great benefits, high bonuses, and most importantly, annual leave..." Six- Man was excited, spitting as he spoke, becoming more and more animated as he went on. Having experienced hardship himself, he understood what people at the bottom of society truly needed. So he listed all sorts of benefits, making it incredibly persuasive! Finally, under Six-Man's instigation, a dwarf gang member pretended not to see Pike's sharp gaze, lowered his head, and rushed to the registration point Six-Man had pointed out. Afterwards, the other gang members also flocked to the spot . Anyway, Mandala City isn't just about the Black Blood Society. Even a lifetime in the Black Blood Society wouldn't guarantee a thousand gold coins in savings. Loyalty aside, whoever offers the most benefits is your master. If you could get a thousand gold coins, who the hell would still be a gangster in Mandala City? It's a place without even a brothel… Some believed they had some power to fight for it, while others were just looking to take advantage of the chaos. Anyway, after a bit of excitement, only one orc remained in the crowd. This orc was thin and weak, but very tall, and looked quite ordinary. He was sitting on the ground picking lice… Six-Pointed Star's childlike nature suddenly stirred, and he couldn't help but wonder why this guy wasn't interested in a thousand gold coins. After a moment's hesitation, he grinned and approached, saying, "Big guy, didn't you hear what I said?" The orc listlessly looked up at Six-Pointed Star, then his eyelids drooped weakly. "I can't even get enough to eat, what's the point of robbing gold coins?" the orc said in a muffled voice. His words drew laughter from everyone. This guy was the most notorious glutton in the Blackblood Guild. The guild's daily food supply was usually quite ample, but he was always the first to finish eating. Then he'd drool over others, patting his belly and complaining of hunger… It seemed like he'd never been seen full since joining the Blackblood Guild! If it weren't for his tall stature, which gave him a rather imposing presence during guild negotiations, he'd probably have been kicked out of the guild long ago. Hearing the orc's words, Liu Mang saw this as another excellent opportunity to incite unrest. He exclaimed dramatically, "*, there are actually people in our guild who aren't getting enough to eat? Good heavens! If such a promising profession can't even provide enough to eat, then it must be the incompetence of the management! Brothers, if I, the leader, am around, I'll make sure everyone is well-fed and watered. And every now and then, we'll even have a little pocket money to go out and pick up girls..." Unfortunately, Liu Mang's words only elicited louder laughter. It wasn't until he overheard the guild members' chatter and realized the guy's gluttonous nature that Liu Mang was utterly disappointed, wishing he could kick the big orc a couple of times. "Chief, let me have a full meal, please?" The large orc was clearly oblivious to social cues. Even with Hexagram glaring at him fiercely, he still remembered to ask for food... Although Hexagram loathed this guy, he felt this was the perfect opportunity to show generosity and win people over, so he waved his hand and said, "Of course, this chief will give you a full meal today..." He then ordered Pike to go to the kitchen and get some rations for the large orc. The meal was eaten in a whirlwind, leaving everyone dumbfounded. What did "devouring everything in a whirlwind" even mean? After seeing this guy's eating speed, "devouring everything in a whirlwind" was nothing! In no time, the guy had eaten enough for at least ten people's meals, and was still patting his stomach, complaining of hunger! Hexagram's curiosity was piqued. Wow, I've never seen anyone eat this much! Let's see just how much this guy can eat! So, Hexagram kept asking the large orc for more food. After a while, the large orc finally straightened up. Patting his stomach, he let out a satisfied burp and uttered a statement that shocked everyone: "It's been so long since I've eaten half-full..." Six-Man stared at him, dumbfounded, his eyes wide as if he'd seen a ghost. Holy crap, that's too much! This guy ate so much and he's still only half-full... "Chief, you're a good person, so loyal! From now on, I'll follow you, as long as I can eat my fill every meal!" the orc said in a gruff voice. He didn't dare say anything to Six-Man. The orc went straight to the registration area, muttering, "I'm going to steal that money back. I can't let the chief waste his gold coins." His long, thin body resembled a telephone pole. His words were naturally met with scorn. This guy, during gang fights, only knew how to yell "I'm hungry" and retreat; he had no other skills. And he thought he could steal gold coins? What a joke! The selection of personal guards had finally begun. In an instant, fists and feet flew wildly across the arena, the burly orcs and stocky dwarves kicking up clouds of dust. They were clearly going all out for that thousand gold coins.

As for the elves, relying on their magical talent, although their magic level was limited, they could still conjure a few fireballs and wind blades... which looked quite impressive. One moment they'd slash their opponent's crotch, burning off their pubic hair, the next they'd hurl ice spikes at their opponent's buttocks...

In short, after a series of battles, most of the victors were arrogant elves.

Pike looked smugly at Hexagram; these victors were basically those he had previously selected, proving he hadn't boasted at the beginning and demonstrating his confidence in successfully placing his most loyal subordinates beside Hexagram.

The losers, bruised and battered, retreated to the side, their eyes fixed on the crystal card in Hexagram's hand, which flashed green.

Unfortunately, they could only gamble with the card now. Lacking the skill, they could only look at the gold coins and give up!

"My turn!"

the tall orc boomed, swaying as he entered the arena, facing a burly, powerful dwarf who had just won.

The two opponents looked utterly comical. The orc was three times the height of the dwarf, yet the dwarf's thick arms were almost as long as the orc's thighs…

"Pulis, you fucking want to fight me?!" the dwarf roared, brandishing his fist.

"Fight then! Who's afraid of who?!" the orc said smugly, completely unconcerned.

"Don't forget how I used to beat you up, you son of a bitch! Today I'll beat you so badly your own mother won't recognize you!" the dwarf snapped.

The large orc, Pulis, glared at the dwarf and said, "Fight if you want. Enough talk! I'm going to beat you both down and go eat with the chief. Hmph, today I'll settle the score with you while I'm full. You even stole a piece of meat from me last time!"

Pulis's disdain infuriated the dwarf. With a roar, he lowered his head. His short, stocky body, brimming with immense power, charged forward like a cannonball.

Pulis mimicked his roar. Then, without moving his body, he simply stretched out his slender arm and accurately pressed it onto the dwarf's head.

To everyone, this dwarf always relied on strength; let alone someone like Priss, even the strongest orcs would have few who could withstand his impact.

Suddenly, something astonishing happened.

Despite the dwarf's powerful thrust, Priss remained completely still, his large hand firmly gripping the dwarf's head.

The dwarf's punches and kicks, accompanied by a whistling sound, continued their relentless assault… Haha… Six-Pointed Star led the laughter, exclaiming, "Damn it!" This was too ridiculous!

Under Priss's control, the dwarf couldn't even touch a hair on Priss's head. He was panting heavily, unable to break free from Priss's grip! "I don't want to waste my energy on you, or I'll get hungry again!" Priss shouted, then suddenly jerked his arm, throwing the dwarf's body far away. The dwarf landed with a thud, groaning for a while before finally getting up. His eyes glared angrily at Pulis, but he dared not challenge him again! "Anyone else? Hurry up. I'm starving!" Pulis said, scanning the others. Then, one by one, the victors went up. And one by one, they slunk down. Pulis, who used to only complain of hunger and had no fighting power, was like a different person after eating his fill. Not only was he incredibly strong, but he was also incredibly fast. Even the elves were no match for him. Often, before they could even finish chanting their spells, they were already being smashed away by Pulis's huge fists... And this... was only when he was half full! Hexagram's eyes lit up. What a talent! Absolutely a damn talent! Wandering Soul looked at Pulis in astonishment. His deep eyes flashed with light, but because he was expressionless, no one could tell what he was thinking. Pike's face turned pale and red in turns. He originally thought the plan was a sure success. But then Pulis appeared out of nowhere! Has this guy been bitten by a mad dog today? How did he suddenly become so crazy! As Pris kicked away an orc brethren nearly twice his size, he seized the opportunity, turning to Hexagram and saying, "Chief, I want a full meal!" Now , let alone a full meal, Hexagram would have agreed to even the more demanding conditions without hesitation. Hearing Pris's request, Hexagram smiled and nodded repeatedly. Then, turning to look at Pike's distorted face, he felt a surge of resentment. After a while, Pris plopped down on the ground. Ignoring his opponent's attacks, his stomach rumbled like thunder. He patted his stomach listlessly, shouting, "I'm not fighting anymore, I'm not fighting anymore, I'm hungry. I have no strength left!" His opponent happened to be an elf. Having seen his companions, some stronger than himself, defeated by this glutton, he was still shaken, unsure whether to concede or grit his teeth and take a heavy punch. But now, seeing Pulis sitting on the ground and crying out for food again, he was overjoyed and quickly unleashed two wind blades, slashing Pulis's arm and drawing blood. Pike, who had been feeling dejected, seized the opportunity and rushed to the center of the arena. He raised the elf's arm and shouted, "This round, Ab wins!" Then, without waiting for any objections, he was about to announce that this elf named Ab would be Hexagram's personal bodyguard. Hexagram slowly said, "Damn it, should I choose the bodyguard or you choose the bodyguard!" This remark left Pike speechless. Being scolded in front of so many people by this ignorant fellow, even though he was the nominal leader, made Pike lose face. He snorted coldly, about to say something. At this moment, the Wanderer suddenly said, "Of course, it's for the leader to choose a bodyguard. Please choose your own bodyguard." He then gave Pike a wink, stopping his impulsive act. Hexagram smiled smugly. He casually tossed the crystal card in front of Pulis, saying, "This gold coin is yours. From now on, you'll be my personal bodyguard, and I'll make sure you eat your fill!" Hearing there was food, Pulis, ignoring the pain in his arm, quickly stood up, picked up the crystal card, and said, "Where's the food? I'm starving!" Hexagram, having found such a capable and lively character, and having caused Pike and the Wanderer to suffer a hidden loss, couldn't help but feel pleased. He said smugly, "This leader will take you to a feast! Come on, follow me to the Half-Step More Restaurant!" With that, he led Pulis away... Duoduo stood at the entrance of the Half-Step More Restaurant, secretly disappointed. Damn it, it's a cloudy day today! He was really hoping for a scorching sunbath to vent his anger. Last night was a nightmare. Even now, if the other half of the ghost's face appears in his mind, Duo Duo can't help but shudder. That shows how terrifying that half of the ghost's face was… Due to last night's heavy rain, the Banbuduo Restaurant is exceptionally damp today. The overcast sky is oppressive, and the damp environment only worsens one's mood. Extremely irritable. From this morning until now, Duo Duo has been scolded by Linda at least countless times. Even the usually gentle Xiuzhen has a sullen face, as if she dislikes everyone. Under these circumstances, Duo Duo can only proceed cautiously, afraid of causing any unnecessary trouble…

"Damn it, today is truly my unlucky day!" Duo Duo muttered under her breath, as if all her bad luck started with the arrival of Da Nian Zhang. That damned old man, he should be dealt with!

Just as Duo Duo was lost in thought, a whiff of something wafted over.

According to the usual pattern these past few days, at this time, it would definitely be that Brown delivering one of those flower baskets with small magic circles again.

Speaking of which, Duo Duo actually admired Siskan; his perseverance in pursuing women was truly admirable!

Damn it, it's just that he's targeting the wrong woman—Alice? ***, isn't that like stealing his own girl? ***, not cursing his ancestors for eighteen generations is already being very kind!

When Alice accepted the flower basket, she was expressionless, merely nodding without even a word of thanks.

Her aloofness seemed to have returned to its former state, except now... Alice's beauty was now even more striking than before; the mature allure of a young woman blended with her coldness, creating a unique charm.

Among the discreet comparisons made by the guests, Alice's allure had clearly surpassed Linda and Xiuzhen, making her the undisputed queen of the Banbuduo Restaurant!

Watching Alice's voluptuous and sexy body pass by, seeing her swaying, plump hips, and smelling her alluring fragrance, Duoduo couldn't help but feel a surge of desire, secretly deciding to find time to properly enjoy this slave girl's beautiful body!

Brown had also grown accustomed to Alice's coldness. After respectfully presenting the flower basket and expressing Siskan's admiration for Alice, he turned and left the Banbuduo Restaurant.

When the fragrance of the flower basket filled the Banbuduo Restaurant after the magic circle was activated, the freshness of nature dispelled the oppressive heat of the weather, and the discussions in the restaurant increased; everyone's mood seemed to have improved considerably.

Even Linda and Xiuzhen, who had maintained a sullen expression, started chatting and laughing with Alice behind the bar…

“Sister Alice, it seems that Siskan is quite sincere,” Xiuzhen said with a grin.

Linda pouted and said, “What sincerity? He sends flower baskets every day. If he were truly sincere, why doesn’t he show up himself?”

Xiuzhen laughed, “He’s someone of some standing, so naturally he cares about his reputation. Sister Alice, you’re always so cold and aloof, pshaw, he wouldn’t dare come!”

Alice smiled and said, “Alright, you two, stop teasing your sister.”

Xiuzhen looked at Alice with a mischievous grin and said, “Sister Alice, to be honest, aren’t you even a little bit tempted? It’s not easy to find a man as devoted as him.”

Alice’s face instantly darkened. Tempted? Did she still have that right?

Sadness once again filled Alice’s heart. It seemed that the nightmare of that devil had completely destroyed her! However, after Alice had completely come to terms with things a few days ago, she had already regained her strong character, though she was still sad. But she was no longer the timid, resentful woman she had been in the past. Her face darkened for a moment, then a smile appeared.

Linda suddenly said, "Sister Alice, do you already have someone you like? Otherwise, why are you always so cold to men?"

Xiuzhen's eyes also lit up; women always love gossip, and Linda's question was undoubtedly the most interesting kind of gossip.

"Ah..." Alice was taken aback by the question, and thinking of her homosexual orientation, she couldn't help but blush. "Linda, what nonsense are you talking about?" Alice replied dismissively.

Then, to change the subject, Alice smiled mischievously and said, "You must have someone you like, right? Where did that handsome elf go? It's like he vanished! Sigh... Doesn't he know there's a beautiful woman in the Half-Step Restaurant who's thinking about him?"

Linda 's

face flushed crimson, as if covered by two red cloths. She lowered her head, blew on her lips, and said shyly, "Sister Alice, why are you teasing me like that!"

Xiuzhen, finding it amusing, quickly seized the opportunity to tease Linda, adding, "You should really ask Duoduo if that dress is still there? Otherwise, let Duoduo convey your feelings for you?"

Alice and Xiuzhen laughed together.

Linda blushed even more under the teasing, her head lowered as if she wanted to bury herself in her deep cleavage. However, upon hearing Xiuzhen's words, a barely perceptible glint of joy flashed in her eyes.

After serving the new customer, Duoduo deliberately stood not far from the bar. His eyes kept sneaking glances at Alice.

Every movement of Alice seemed to tug at his soul, especially her laughter. The trembling of her large breasts stimulated his hormones, causing a surge of heat in his lower abdomen.

"You're quite the ladies' man! That woman is a real stunner! Alas... it's just a pity your training methods are so poor!" The old man

's voice suddenly echoed in Duoduo's mind. This old bastard had finally shown himself. Duoduo blurted out a curse!

This subconscious sound was so loud that it even startled Linda, Xiuzhen, and Alice at the bar. Linda glared at Duoduo and shouted, "You bastard, what are you yelling about!"

Duoduo hurriedly bowed and said, "Miss Linda, I'm sorry, I... I saw a worm..." As he spoke, he feigned concern and quickly walked to the shadow of a table, stomping his foot on the ground. Then she bent down as if she were actually picking something up. She turned and walked to the door, swinging her arm.

Linda glared at Duoduo and said, "How do you usually clean?! There are bugs in the Half-Step Restaurant! Do you want me to punish you?!"

Duoduo quickly shook her head.

Alice suddenly said, "Never mind, maybe the bugs were brought in by the flower basket."

Duoduo looked at Alice in surprise. She didn't understand why Alice would speak up for her. Had she really been trained to be so docile that she knew how to speak up for her master?

"You're so conceited! That woman probably wants to tear you to pieces! And you're still speaking up for her!" Zhang's sarcastic voice was like a bucket of cold water, making Duoduo feel extremely ashamed and angry.

But in front of Linda and the others, she couldn't do anything unusual. She could only grit her teeth and secretly remember everything that old hag had done, and make him pay for it all later!

"Get out of here! Just looking at you annoys me!" "Linda cursed.

Duoduo had no choice but to slink to the door and resume his duties of entertaining guests. While Linda and the others weren't paying attention, Duoduo turned back and glared fiercely at Linda's enormous breasts, fantasizing about them countless times before secretly cursing and suppressing his anger.

Da Nian? Zhang seemed to have calculated that it was a cloudy day, making it difficult for Duoduo to discipline him, so he became even more boisterous, talking about female psychology and training methods. His methods were incredibly bizarre, leaving Duoduo speechless.

For a moment, Duoduo forgot how hateful the old man was and listened with great interest.

Just as he was hearing the exciting part about how the old man had successfully made a woman beg him to mount her using bondage and aphrodisiacs, the old man's voice abruptly stopped.

"*, why did you stop! Tell me, she begged you. Did you take her right then and there, or did you continue training her using other methods?" "Dodo asked anxiously through his mind.

"To hear what happens next, please listen to the next episode..."

After Dodo asked for a long time, the old man blurted out a sentence that almost made Dodo go crazy on the spot!

Damn it. Isn't this the trick that storytellers used to whet people's appetites in my previous life... Dodo suddenly felt like fainting.

"Kid, I'll tell you a little bit every day, so you won't always scare this old man with your 'sunbathing' nonsense," Da Nian Zhang said smugly.

So this old guy was deliberately using this tactic to avoid Duo Duo really punishing him, hehe... If you want to hear it every day, you'd better be nice to this old man, Da Nian Zhang's meaning was clear.

Just as Duo Duo and Da Nian Zhang were arguing about how much to tell each day, at least including a steamy and exciting part,

Liu Mang swaggered into the Banbu Duo Restaurant, followed by the orc Priss, licking his lips with a gluttonous look and occasionally rubbing his belly.

"Honorable guest. You've come again," Duo Duo stepped forward, offering a perfunctory greeting.

Liu Mang nodded and said, "Your memory is good; you even recognize me." Then... "That's right," he muttered to himself. "In the entire Mandala City, there aren't many people as handsome and charming as me, exuding such a pure and adorable aura..."

Duo Duo almost vomited on the spot, his chubby face contorted as he struggled to suppress the urge to burst out laughing.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Liu Mang glanced at Duo Duo, asking in surprise.

"Uh...no, nothing, this way please..." Duo Duo forced back his laughter, gesturing for Liu Mang to go upstairs.

Liu Mang casually sat down in a chair, gesturing for Pulis to sit beside him. He said generously, "Bring us whatever good food you have, don't worry about us not having money."

Duo Duo nodded, turning to go downstairs to prepare food and drinks.

And so, moments later, all eyes in the Banbu Duo Restaurant were drawn to Pulis. This guy was fully displaying his gluttonous nature, eating until the world seemed to change color, and the food stored in the Banbu Duo Restaurant was disappearing at an incredibly fast pace.

Good heavens!

Where did this kid find such a treasure!

"This guy can eat like crazy!"

Dodo stared wide-eyed at Pris, who was stuffing food into his mouth with both hands, while Hexagram grinned and kept urging Pris to eat more.

Dodo thought to himself with amusement, "Thank goodness there are no buffets in this world, otherwise this guy's appearance would be a disaster for any buffet!

" "Goodness. This is already the thirty-sixth piece of black bread..." a customer exclaimed, mouth agape.

Another customer added, "You seem to have forgotten, this guy also drank seventeen bowls of vegetable soup..."

Even Linda, Xiuzhen, and Alice, drawn by the discussions above and Dodo's frequent trips downstairs to get food, went up to the second floor and witnessed this astonishing scene.

"My God! This orc has such a good appetite!" Xiuzhen exclaimed.

"Whatever! He's going to pay anyway, hmph, if he wants to dine and dash, I'll beat him back everything he ate!" Linda muttered.

When Duo Duo was exhausted from carrying food up and down the stairs, his legs weak and his whole body weary, he finally heard a voice like a ray of sunshine. The gluttonous king patted his belly and let out a loud burp, saying, "Boss, I'm full!"

"Want some more?" Liu Mang asked with concern. Of course, a boss should treat his subordinates well to win their hearts.

"Then let's go!" Liu Mang said, standing up. He then called Duo Duo to pay the bill.

After paying nearly a hundred gold coins, Liu Mang and Pulis swaggered out of the Half-Step Duo Restaurant…

Afterwards, a heated discussion erupted from the Half-Step Duo Restaurant, along with Linda yelling at Duo Duo, scolding him for not storing enough food.

Duo Duo sat dejectedly on a chair near the door, muttering, "Damn it, where did this guy get such a glutton? He can eat so much!"

Da Nian Zhang sighed.

Duo Duo asked in confusion, "I told you not to go sunbathing, why are you still sighing like that!"

Da Nian Zhang said, "Kid, everything you did last night was a waste."

Duo Duo asked in surprise, "What do you mean? What did I do?"

"Didn't you give him the Overlord Ring? I just discovered that the Overlord Ring can't completely integrate with him; it only increases his acuity. Because his physique is too weak, he ultimately can't withstand such immense power. No wonder he reacted so strongly after wearing the Overlord Ring last night!" Da Nian Zhang said.

"Huh? *, didn't you say the Overlord Ring is suitable for anyone?"

"That's true! The Overlord Ring can indeed increase a person's strength by dozens or even hundreds of times, but think about it, if an ant's strength increases dozens or even hundreds of times, can it kill an elephant? Now it seems that giving the Overlord Ring to that kid was a real waste!" Da Nian Zhang explained.

Duo Duo said nonchalantly, "What's there to regret? As long as I don't feel bad, that thing is fine. Keeping it won't be of much use to me anyway. I'll just leave it with my apprentice. Damn it, I didn't even say it was a pity, so what are you whining about? It's like the emperor isn't worried, but you, you damn eunuch, are!!"

What exactly is Chapter 217?

Da Nian Zhang said loudly, "You brat, don't you appreciate it? I'm doing this all for your own good! You gave him the Overlord Ring to enhance his strength, but now the Overlord Ring's effects are limited. Your efforts have been wasted!"

Duo Duo didn't realize how important Da Nian Zhang's words were. In his view, giving the Overlord Ring to Hexagram was simply to increase his self-defense capabilities and also to make Duo Duo feel better, after all, he had been a master once, but couldn't pass on anything to others. So, he used the Overlord Ring to make up for his guilt.

Duo Duo seemed indifferent, his thoughts seemingly sensed by Da Nian Zhang. So, Da Nian Zhang didn't dwell on the matter, instead changing the subject to Duo Duo's biggest headache…

"Hey kid, when are you planning to start your operation?" Da Nian Zhang suddenly asked.

Duo Duo was taken aback, completely bewildered. "Old man, what operation? Why are you always jumping around like this? Damn it!"

"Virgin blood…" Da Nian Zhang chuckled eerily.

The terrifying, eerie face of the wandering ghost immediately flashed into Duo Duo's mind, sending chills down his spine. The weather outside was sweltering, yet Duo Duo couldn't help but shiver.

Good heavens! Why is this old man so persistent? I'd rather die than get that monster's virgin blood!

Duo Duo cried out inwardly. Screaming, in pain, frustrated, and contemplating killing the old man to silence him…

Da Nian Zhang sighed and said, “Is appearance really that important? Sigh…”

“Bullshit. If appearance weren’t important, why did you train all those famous beauties back then? Why didn’t you just find a sow…” Duo Duo retorted stiffly.

Da Nian Zhang was stunned by the rebuke, then laughed strangely: “Hehe…that makes sense, that makes sense. Appearance does seem to be very important…but, in that case, you can change her appearance.”

Duo Duo asked doubtfully, “Change her appearance? She’s the same as before. Can you change that? Do you think I’m a god, or do you think you are?”

"That woman is a pitiful person. Her physical transformation is entirely due to her reckless pursuit of higher levels of necromancy, disregarding her own physical limitations. Furthermore, she even went so far as to madly fuse necromancy with martial arts. I dare say, she must be an unprecedented dual cultivator of necromancy and martial arts. It's truly strange that she's still alive; it's practically a miracle. You know…"

Da Nian Zhang went on and on, explaining to Duo Duo about necromancy, martial arts, the choices and taboos of dual cultivation, and so on. A series of facts Duo Duo had never heard of before. To be honest, these words from an authority figure over six hundred years ago would be ecstatic to anyone. But for Duo Duo, all he found was that this old man was incredibly noisy…

The reason was that Duo Duo had tried to listen… but found he couldn't understand a thing!

Only things that can be understood are valuable; things he didn't understand, even if highly valuable, were utterly useless.

Duo Duo finally interrupted Da Nian Zhang's endless lecture with impatience, frowning and conveying his thoughts: "Hey. Enough. Enough, are you kidding me? You've been rambling on and on, and it's all nonsense. I just want to know how to change her appearance. What's the point of all this useless stuff?"

"Useless stuff!" Da Nian Zhang exclaimed. If he could physically stand in front of Duo Duo right now, he'd probably be glaring at him. Was this damn guy a blockhead? He'd been so patiently explaining such valuable magical knowledge to him, and this kid not only didn't appreciate it but also insulted this old man...

Da Nian Zhang felt an urge to go crazy, but unfortunately, given his current situation, all he could do was rage.

After a long silence, Da Nian Zhang finally revealed the method, not because he had exceptional patience. Rather, it was because the virgin blood of a woman whose body contained powerful necromancy energy was extremely effective against the wandering soul. It should be noted that necromancy is also a type of dark energy, which is of great benefit to a soul like Da Nian Zhang, who is parasitic in a chastity charm ring made in a purely dark way!

"I sense the intense, fiery energy within you. If you control this energy and periodically cleanse that girl's meridians, you'll diminish the intensity of the necromancy energy. You see, the reason that girl is like this is because the necromancy energy and battle qi within her have lost their balance. The necromancy is too strong, currently devouring her body cells. When the necromancy energy diminishes and is completely suppressed by the battle qi, that girl's body will return to normal..."

Then, to further motivate Duo Duo, Da Nian added, "Kid, you've seen half of her face...tsk tsk. It's absolutely stunning! Imagine when the other half of her face becomes that beautiful too..."

It's no exaggeration to say that Da Nian's words were incredibly persuasive. Upon hearing them, Duo Duo couldn't help but picture an incomparably beautiful face, and a surge of curiosity and anticipation welled up within him.

Just as Duoduo was lost in his daydreams,

Linda's voice pulled him back to reality: "Duoduo, you're going to die! What are you daydreaming about? Can't you see Miss Alona is waiting for you to greet her?"

Duoduo snapped back to reality and only then did he see that Alona was already sitting in a chair not far from him, smiling at him.

However, that smile seemed very fake to Duoduo, purely a facade.

Duoduo couldn't help but think, this woman really has some perseverance... What exactly is her purpose in being so persistent?

After a long period of thought, Alona finally chose to bow to reality. The limits she had set for herself when trying to seduce Duoduo now seemed like a burden. That damned half-elf was incredibly slick, seemingly simple-minded but actually very cunning, his ability to feign ignorance was unparalleled.

It seemed that without offering some real sweetness, it was impossible to seduce such a despicable fellow...

Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Alona had to painfully make a decision for herself. For her sister Yana, for the entire Night Elf race, what did a little sacrifice matter?

After all, her original purpose meant offering her body to that handsome elf to grant Yana absolute freedom; her body would be defiled sooner or later anyway. So what was this small sacrifice compared to what was to come? Since she had already decided to rescue Yana, she might as well completely let herself go!

As she decided to let go, to stop caring, and simply do whatever was necessary to achieve her goal, Alona felt immense sorrow. She felt that her current thoughts were those of a wanton woman. This shame tormented her soul, almost driving her mad!

"Miss Alona, what do you need? I'm sorry, I didn't notice your arrival just now, please forgive me," Dodo said, bowing as she approached Alona.

A flicker of disgust crossed Alona's eyes, but a charming smile quickly followed. "You must be exhausted," she said. "How could I blame you? Just bring me some food. If you'd like, I see there aren't many customers right now. You can sit here and rest. Don't worry, if Miss Linda and the others blame you, I'll speak up for you."

Duo Duo looked around and was surprised to find that most of the customers in the Banbuduo Restaurant had left, leaving most of the seats empty.

While communicating with Da Nian Zhang using his consciousness, Duo Duo had been working entirely on instinct, appearing somewhat absent-minded to outsiders. He himself hadn't noticed the changes in the Banbuduo Restaurant because his attention was completely elsewhere.

After bringing Alona some simple food, Duo Duo hesitated.

Looking at the stunningly beautiful and graceful Alona, it was inevitable that Toto felt a surge of desire. Even though he knew she had some ulterior motive, he couldn't resist the urge to engage in some playful banter with her. Firstly, he was curious to know what this woman wanted; secondly, and perhaps more shamelessly, given his previous encounter with Alona—Toto's self-created, bizarre manners had almost swollen Alona's delicate hands from kissing them—Toto wanted to gain even more advantage from this woman.

"Why aren't you sitting down?" Alona raised an eyebrow and glanced at Toto, asking softly.

"Here…there are guests waiting for me to attend to…" Toto said, feigning hesitation.

"It's alright. You can get up again when guests need attention. Really, I really want you to rest. Seeing you endlessly busy makes me feel a little sad…" A look of pity appeared in Alona's eyes.
