King of Assassins-Chapter 67 - 66: Gained Without Any Effort

Jiang Xuejun was really getting anxious. Her voice was sharp, and her expression was agitated, completely losing her usual wildness and free spirit.

She looked down on Gao Xuan, despising his background, his face-saving ways with women, and his lack of character.

However, Jiang Xuejun had to admit Gao Xuan’s swordsmanship was very strong, and she had no excuses for losing. She would reclaim that honor on her own. She would never enlist people to gang up on Gao Xuan in such a disgraceful manner.

When she learned An Hu went to trouble Gao Xuan but ended up severely injured, Jiang Xuejun’s first reaction was that he deserved it.

However, Jiang Xuejun was not Wei Zhenzhen; she quickly realized this incident was troublesome. Gao Xuan was likely to face misfortune.

Jiang Xuejun was glad to see Gao Xuan in trouble, but she did not want him to end up in trouble because of her. Those were two different things.

Therefore, Jiang Xuejun quickly contacted Gao Xuan. Seeing his indifferent and carefree demeanor, she grew a little anxious.

"What, are you still not done with this?"

Gao Xuan’s long eyebrows slightly raised, "You’re threatening me!"

Jiang Xuejun suppressed her anger and said as calmly as she could, "I’m not threatening you; you’ve gotten yourself into big trouble. If not handled properly, not only will you die, but Yun Qingshang will also suffer."

Before Gao Xuan could speak, Jiang Xuejun continued, "I know Aunt Yue stepped in to handle this for you. But Aunt Yue can protect you for a moment, not for a lifetime."

"Oh, so you’re concerned about me?"

Gao Xuan showed a self-satisfied smile, "I just knew you secretly fell for me, causing such a stir just to attract my attention. You’re quite the tease..."

Jiang Xuejun almost spat out blood. How could this blind guy Gao Xuan be so self-centered, as if any woman would love him?

She replied with a straight face, "Sorry, you’re overthinking. I have no interest in you at all."

"Hehe, women..."

Gao Xuan shook his head, "Creatures that speak without the heart."

Jiang Xuejun was even more frustrated. She was about to explain when Gao Xuan interrupted her, "Alright, alright, I get it. You don’t love me."

Gao Xuan’s dismissive attitude made Jiang Xuejun very frustrated. The problem was such things were impossible to explain clearly.

Jiang Xuejun took a deep breath, trying to calm her fluctuating emotions. She earnestly said, "Gao Xuan, I don’t care about your life or death. I just don’t want you to die because of me."

Seeing Gao Xuan remain silent, Jiang Xuejun couldn’t understand his thoughts.

This exceptionally handsome youth, when smiling cheekily, was charming and very approachable. But in silence, his handsomeness exuded a divine and inviolable majesty.

Jiang Xuejun, for some reason, felt a pang of unease, and the mocking words she intended to say wouldn’t come out.

After a moment of silence, she seriously spoke, "Gao Xuan, things are more serious than you think. Xu Feng and the others are all playboys, and their families won’t oppose my Aunt Yue for them. But An Hu is different. His seemingly forthright nature actually hides a narrow-mindedness. He won’t let this go easily."

"What do you really want to say?"

Gao Xuan was getting a bit impatient. This woman hadn’t offered any comfort and was rambling on with so much nonsense. His time was precious.

"What I mean is, An Hu’s family will give Aunt Yue face, and they won’t bully the small by taking action against you. But they won’t restrain An Hu either."

Jiang Xuejun said, "When An Hu recovers, he’s sure to come looking for trouble with you."

"So what? Are you planning to take the blame for me?"

Gao Xuan cupped his hands, "Thank you."

Jiang Xuejun felt a bit embarrassed, "An Hu is severely injured; I’m afraid he won’t listen to me. What I mean is, I’ll speak to An Hu, and you can apologize to him to settle the matter. He gets face, and you get peace. Everyone wins."

"He comes to insult me, and I have to apologize?"

Gao Xuan laughed, "That certainly doesn’t make me happy, my friend."

What Gao Xuan said made Jiang Xuejun feel somewhat embarrassed. She thought Gao Xuan was a little unreasonable. How could a country boy like him contend with An Hu?

Not to mention the An Family, An Hu alone could crush Gao Xuan to dust with the power he could leverage. Yet, Gao Xuan was still so self-assured, thinking that Wei Yue could protect him? How laughable.

She took another deep breath to control her emotions, "Yes, An Hu was wrong, but let’s be realistic. The An Family is powerful, and lowering your head for peace is normal, not shameful."

"Have you ever heard this old saying, take no light words to advise others?"

Gao Xuan said, "I appreciate your good intentions. But if you can’t hold An Hu down, you can’t be the mediator. Although this started because of you, now it’s a grudge between me and An Hu. It’s no longer related to you."

"It’s getting late. Good night, goodbye."

Gao Xuan had no bias against Jiang Xuejun and understood her intentions. Although she looked down on him and wanted him to apologize to An Hu, it was still kind-hearted.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t accept this kindness.

Looking at the extinct light screen, Jiang Xuejun nearly gnashed her teeth.

"Not recognizing kindness, stupid arrogance, seeking one’s own death..."

Jiang Xuejun wanted to leave it alone, but in the end, she felt some unwillingness. After all, this incident started because of her.

Jiang Xuejun contacted Gao Xuan again, and he quickly answered the call.

On the screen, Gao Xuan’s face was full of impatience. Before Jiang Xuejun could speak, he said, "If you can’t solve the problem, don’t waste time, alright?"

Gao Xuan said, "If you feel guilty, compensate me with two genetic potions, and we’ll be even."

After saying that, Gao Xuan ended the call again.

Jiang Xuejun was a bit stunned, was that all he had to say?

Nonetheless, she was rebellious and wild by nature. This time she was in the wrong, so she patiently explained so much to Gao Xuan.

Since Gao Xuan didn’t want to listen, so be it.

"You want genetic potions? Fine, I’ll give them to you! Then we’re even."

Jiang Xuejun, proud and spirited, was provoked enough by the two previous conversations with Gao Xuan.

Two genetic potions, she could still manage to get them.

Genetic potions are very expensive on the market, most tailored for specific genetic sequences.

Jiang Xuejun was still conscientious and didn’t just grab any two genetic potions to fool Gao Xuan.

She directly sought out Wei Yue, "Aunt Yue, sell me two Skywalker Gene Potions."

The Jiang Family and the Wei Family had a long-standing friendship. Jiang Xuejun’s mother and Wei Yue were close friends. Although Jiang Xuejun seldom played with Wei Zhenzhen, she was very close to Wei Yue, speaking without any reservations.

"Hmm?"

Wei Yue didn’t quite understand: "The genetic potion hasn’t been released to the market yet. Don’t rush, wait for market feedback and then decide how to use it."

The Skywalker Gene Potion is safe and harmless, and it works well. However, its effects can vary significantly among individuals.

We still need to gather feedback from many users to gain a deeper understanding of the Skywalker Gene Potion’s effects.

Also, genetic potions should not be used casually. A cultivator like Jiang Xuejun, who has great potential, doesn’t need to use genetic potions right now. She needs to strengthen her foundation first.

Jiang Xuejun said playfully, "Aunt Yue, I’m not using it myself, it’s for a friend."

Wei Yue reminded her, "Genetic potions shouldn’t be used carelessly, you know that, right?"

"I know."

Jiang Xuejun said, "Aunt Yue, don’t worry, I know what I’m doing. Besides, I’m buying this for a friend, and I’ll pay for it."

"Alright, I’ll give you a 30% discount."

Wei Yue didn’t mind giving Jiang Xuejun a free potion, but since Jiang Xuejun insisted on paying, she let her.

Jiang Xuejun was very efficient. After receiving the genetic potion, she immediately asked Gao Xuan for his address and sent it to him via courier.

Half an hour later, Gao Xuan signed for the Skywalker Gene Potion.

The robot, dressed in a clean work uniform, gave Gao Xuan a deep bow before leaving in the car.

Because it was already ten at night, by regulation, most labor-intensive tasks at this time could be handled by intelligent robots.

Tasks like courier deliveries at night are generally left to robots. It saves money, is safe, and is highly efficient.

Gao Xuan, holding the genetic potion, felt a bit emotional. It’s good to be wealthy.

He had spent much effort getting a genetic potion from Wei Yue, and it even had a tracking agent added.

But with Jiang Xuejun, she easily sent over two gene potions, without any hassle. It seemed as easy as buying two bottles of mineral water.

Achieving this wasn’t only because Jiang Xuejun was wealthy, but also because she had enough social connections. Gao Xuan couldn’t compare to that.

The two Skywalker Gene Potions should be enough to help him advance to Level 6.

Back in his room, Gao Xuan injected the two Skywalker Gene Potions.

The gene potion was not only enough for his genetic sequence to evolve, but it could also stimulate his body’s potential and activate new Source Power nodes.

In a meditative state, Gao Xuan established a close connection with the omnipresent Sea of Source Power.

Five Source Power nodes were unlocked on his arms and legs, and they connected with the pentagram Star Wheel on his forehead to form a complete Source Power structure.

The originally black pentagram Star Wheel now showed a faint bronze color, the most direct proof of entering the Bronze Tier.

In fact, after completing his Genetic Sequence Evolution, Gao Xuan had already one foot into Level 6. However, this required time to settle.

The two Skywalker Gene Potions allowed Gao Xuan to bypass the need to accumulate and directly enter Level 6.

Gao Xuan opened his digital panel and, upon entering the Bronze Level, some of his statuses changed.

The most notable change was the Source Power value, which increased from 2500 to 5000 units.

A normal Level 5 Source Power cultivator has a Source Power value around 500. Only by reaching Level 6 can the Source Power value reach a thousand.

Every level up after that doubles the Source Power value. A cultivator reaching the tenth-level peak will have a Source Power value of 16,000 units.

16,000 units is the upper limit of Source Power on Pegasus Star, determined by the unique environment there.

Gao Xuan’s 5000 Source Power value was already at the level of an Eighth-Level Source Power.

The higher the Source Power value, the stronger the Source Power that can be harnessed. Gao Xuan could easily defeat An Hu and others because his Source Power value was higher, giving him stronger energy control.

Even in a confined space, he could easily overpower a group led by An Hu.

As for other physical data, only the Power Value improved slightly, reaching sixteen points. This Power Value was typical for an ordinary Level 6 Source Power cultivator.

Gao Xuan’s other data was too high; leveling up in Source Power was not enough to enhance his data.

Even so, Gao Xuan was satisfied. Just one more level up, and he could complete his Genetic Sequence Evolution. And he could reach the Pegasus Star limit for Source Power values.

By then, facing a tenth-level expert, he wouldn’t be at a disadvantage in Source Power.

Gao Xuan was quite content with his progress; he had two months left, enough to elevate himself to Level 7.

Gao Xuan had just opened his eyes when he saw Nuwa.

Nuwa was wearing a long grey-white T-shirt, with a wide neckline exposing most of her shoulders. The hem of the T-shirt just covered the tops of her thighs.

She wore flat sandals, her toenails painted in pretty rainbow colors. Her hair was styled in two playful braids. Her overall attire was very modern, casual, and cool, even a little playful and sexy.

"Do I look good like this?"

Nuwa’s virtual projection spun around once in front of Gao Xuan.

"Not just good, you look beautiful and cute, I like it."

Gao Xuan realized it was the Wa Baby personality and of course, offered praise without holding back.

"I just love sweet-talking boys like you."

Nuwa appeared delighted, her pretty phoenix eyes smiling into crescent moons, adding more charm.

Gao Xuan generously said, "Feel free to like, no charge."

"Hahaha..."

Nuwa happily said, "In return for your jokes, I’ll tell you something for free. Your old flame is in big trouble, I don’t think she can hold on for much longer."

"Old flame?" Gao Xuan was a little confused. Where could he have an old flame?

"Wei Yue. Don’t tell me you don’t want to sleep with her..." Nuwa reminded.

"Hey hey, I’m just thinking idly, I wouldn’t actually do it. Accusing me like this isn’t nice."

Gao Xuan felt a bit wronged. He hadn’t done anything, yet Nuwa already slapped a big label on him.

"Humans, hehe, men, hehe..."

Nuwa laughed ambiguously, "Anyway, I’ve warned you, Wei Yue is soon going to have bad luck. Whether she’s your mother-in-law, your lover, or your old customer, if you don’t help her, she’ll end up sleeping with another man..."
