My Five Bigshot Seniors: I am The Most Coddled Junior!-Chapter 413 - 93: [Second Update]

With that thought, Gu Qingqing stretched out her hand, and the Mixed Immortal Silk flew out, wrapping around the boss’s neck just like it had with the black-clad man earlier. She applied a little force, and the boss lost his breath in his sleep.

"What about this woman?" Gu Qingqing looked at the woman pinned under the boss and furrowed her brows, feeling a bit troubled.

Jun Wu also furrowed his brows, pondering how to handle the woman. They couldn’t determine the relationship between the boss and the woman, nor whether she was aware of what the boss had been doing. If she wasn’t an accomplice, then she was innocent, leaving him equally troubled.

"I see that her cultivation isn’t high. Even if she is with the boss, she’s probably not an important figure. Why don’t we just throw her outside? The boss is dead now. If she’s not with him, then she’s free. If she is, without the boss, she won’t be much of a threat," Gu Qingqing suggested after thinking for a while, frowning.

Jun Wu’s eyes flickered, agreeing that this was the best course of action, and nodded.

Since the woman was naked, Gu Qingqing dressed her with two pieces of clothing to prevent exposure, then tossed her outside. The two of them then set the boss’s house on fire and erected a simple array outside to ensure the fire wouldn’t spread to other areas.

After finishing all this, they returned to the previous room, disposed of the bodies of the two black-clad men, and prepared to meditate for the night in the room with a hole in it.

...

In the Bai Mansion, Bai Lian’er happily soaked in a petal bath, had her maid apply body-nourishing flower dew on her skin, changed into a red gauze dress, and sat in her room waiting for her men to bring the man she fancied during the day.

Thinking of the man’s handsome appearance, she couldn’t help but blush and feel a bit anxious. He was the most handsome man she’d seen in years, perfectly fitting her aesthetic taste. Thinking she would soon enjoy his company, she became very excited, her body even starting to heat up slightly.

She mentally simulated hundreds of intimate positions with him, considering if his temperament was fiery, she should exercise patience for his handsome face and teach him well.

Who knew she’d wait half the night, and not only did the man not appear, but her men hadn’t returned either. Bai Lian’er’s face shifted through various expressions before turning completely dark.

"Hong’er!" she shouted through gritted teeth.

"Miss, this servant is here." The maid stationed outside the door heard Bai Lian’er calling and rushed in, "Miss, what’s wrong?"

"What’s wrong? You’re asking me what’s wrong?" Bai Lian’er completely lost her temper hearing Hong’er’s words, throwing things at her, "It’s already late at night. Where is the man I wanted? Where are those useless men? It’s been so long, and they still haven’t succeeded?"

"Miss, perhaps the target is difficult to handle; Zhang Wu and the others might need more time. Please wait patiently for a bit longer," Hong’er said quietly, completely unfazed by the items nearly hitting her, being very familiar with Bai Lian’er’s temper.

Her statement wasn’t without basis. They’ve encountered similar situations before where the target had higher cultivation, and the sedative wasn’t immediately effective. Zhang Wu and the others indeed needed more time.

Perhaps because Hong’er’s voice was so calm, Bai Lian’er calmed down slightly, taking a couple of deep breaths, "Alright, I’ll give Zhang Wu and them the time of one incense stick. If they haven’t returned by then, Hong’er, you’ll go personally!"

"Yes, I will obey your command." Hong’er knelt on the ground, responding very respectfully.

Bai Lian’er didn’t dismiss Hong’er, and the two waited in the room for the duration of one incense stick, but still, no one returned. Although Bai Lian’er’s face was still dark at this point, she no longer lost her temper.

"Hong’er, go check what happened yourself." She gritted her teeth, suppressing her anger as she commanded.

At this point, Bai Lian’er looked like a volcano about to erupt, just a little more pressure, and she would explode.

"Yes, this servant will go now." Hong’er was also puzzled about what had occurred and promptly complied upon hearing Bai Lian’er’s order.

Hong’er stood up and quickly left.

...

When Hong’er arrived at the inn, she immediately saw the flames in the inn’s back courtyard, along with the masked black-clad people outside the inn. It was bustling outside, with people discussing the sudden fire and the black-clad individuals.

Hong’er paid no mind to why the back of the inn was burning. On the ground, the black-clad men had their masks removed, and she recognized them as the three sent by Bai Lian’er, including Zhang Wu. Seeing all three dead, Hong’er was momentarily shocked.

Zhang Wu and the other two were all at the low-stage Daluo Golden Immortal level. While not top tier in Xiyue City, they were considered powerful, hardly anyone could defeat them, which was why Bai Lian’er could abduct so many men. But now, they were killed, and judging by their wounds, they were likely taken out in one shot, indicating the opponent’s cultivation might be higher than theirs.

This speculation caused Hong’er’s eyebrows to knit together tightly. Her cultivation was only a bit higher than Zhang Wu’s trio, but since they were killed so easily, if she confronted the opponent, she too might be killed. Weighing her options, she chose not to risk it and instead turned back.

Returning to the Bai Mansion, Hong’er went straight to Bai Lian’er’s room.

Bai Lian’er had been somewhat expectant upon hearing footsteps, but her expression turned sour upon seeing Hong’er return alone.

"What’s going on? Why are you back alone? Where are Zhang Wu and the others? What about the man I wanted?"

"Miss, Zhang Wu and the others have all been killed. Their bodies were thrown outside the inn. From the wounds, they appear to have been killed instantly, indicating the opponent’s cultivation might be higher than Zhang Wu’s. My cultivation is also only a middle-stage Daluo Golden Immortal, slightly higher than Zhang Wu’s, so I likely wouldn’t be a match for them either. Hence, I came back," Hong’er explained directly without hiding anything from Bai Lian’er.

Upon hearing this, Bai Lian’er’s face showed a trace of surprise, then turned even darker.

"You did right not to engage. Zhang Wu and the others are dead, but Hong’er, you can’t afford to have anything happen to you. I misjudged this time." Thinking of that face that pleased her, Bai Lian’er felt as if her heart was bleeding, but knowing that the person had the ability to kill Zhang Wu and the others and was likely young, they could be a disciple of a major sect. Angering them could bring trouble to the Bai Family, so she could only reluctantly give up.
