Qin Yuâs face suddenly turned icy, a cold air emanating from his body.
âYou wish to kill me?â
Every word he spoke was like an icy arrow piercing the womanâs heart. The woman felt her heart freeze as if it was about to stop beating and couldnât help but take a few steps back fearfully.
The woman could sense Qin Yuâs cultivation was higher than herâs, but it didnât seem too much higher. However, his imposing aura was astonishingly strong.
âi-Iâm going.â The woman didnât dare to face Qin Yu again and just left hurriedly.
The moment she exited the room, she halted and glanced at the shut door, cold killing intent filling her eyes. She thought sinisterly, âYou disgusting, shameful thing, you think you can be so arrogant in front of this great aunt 1 just because youâre a bit stronger than me? Do you know who I am? One sentence from me is enough to let you die ten thousand times. Of course, not that you can die ten thousand times, just dying once is sufficient. Just you wait.â After speaking, the woman turned around, leaving with long strides and strong killing intent.

In the back garden of the bath house was a tall, imposing looking manor where the boss of the bath house lived.
The bossâs name was Gao Qiu 2, and he was a fifty year old bearded man.
Today, Gao Qiuâs mood was pretty good since it was the end of the month and he had earned a lot. Naturally, it wasnât money he paid about, but the box full of brightly shining spirit stones.
âBoss, Iâve organized all the accounts in the ledger. Do you want to take a look?â Inside the accounting room, the book keeper was respectfully offering the ledger to Gao Qiu.
Gao Qiu smiled and waved his hand, âNo need, I trust you.â
âBoss, thank you for your trust.â The bookkeeper said happily.
âHaha, continue to work well and I wonât treat you badly.â Gao Qiu had a big smile as he patted the book keeperâs back.
The book keeper was just about to thank him again when some knocks echoed on the door.
âWho is it?â The two both turned to the door and asked vigilantly. The accounting office had a lot of sensitive info and not everyone could enter, especially as today was the payday.
âItâs me, Xiao Mei.â Outside, a womanâs voice rang out.
Hearing her reply, the two calmed down and the bookkeeper stepped forward to open the door.
âXiao Mei, whatâs the matter?â The bookkeeperâs face had a few traces of annoyance. She wasnât supposed to be at the accounting office at this time.
âSir, this is the spirit stone weâve just received as payment. Xiao Mei doesnât dare to carry it on me so I came to put it into storage.â Xiao Mei presented the spirit stone to the bookkeeper as she spoke.
Because of Gao Qiuâs order, money and the such were ignored but even if it were to be the smallest amount of spirit stones, it had to be immediately handed over. Otherwise, it would be regarded as a crime.
Thus, nobody could blame Xiao Mei for coming here now to deliver the spirit stone.
The bookkeeper accepted the spirit stone, the displeased look on his face quickly fading away. It was replaced by a look of focus as he inspected it before turning and handing it to Gao Qiu.
Gao Qiu glanced at it and revealed a trace of a smile, âThe qualityâs pretty good. Itâs a low grade medium quality spirit stone.â After appraising it, he carefully put it into a box with all the other spirit stones before turning to face Xiao Mei, âXiao Mei, you did good in promptly delivering the spirit stone. You may leave and continue to work, I wonât treat you unfairly.â
âThank you, Boss.â Xiao Mei bowed in thanks and turned around to leave before suddenly pausing and turning around again.
âWhatâs the matter?â Gao Qiu watched her strange movements and asked.
âBoss, thereâs a matter but Iâm not sure if it should be said or not.â Xiao Mei hesitated.
âIf itâs important, then say it. Otherwise, just donât.â Gao Qiu replied generously.
âThe one who gave me the spirit stone earlier seemed just like the young madam of the Zhu Family, Liu Yuru.â Xiao Meiâs face was solemn as she replied.
âHuh? Liu Yuru?â Gao Qiu muttered her name before suddenly jumping in shock, âWhat did you just say? The Zhu Familyâs young madam, Liu Yuru?!â
âYes. She went into the lovers room with a filthy man and paid me with a spirit stone.â Xiao Mei continued to report.
âHow could she possibly enter the lovers room with a man? Are you sure you didnât see wrong?â Gao Qiuâs face was filled with disbelief.
âYou didnât see wrong; it was I, Liu Yuru.â A sweet voice answered Gao Qiuâs words. A seductively beautiful woman appeared at the door.
âYou, Liu Yuru?â Gao Qiu quickly stepped out from the accounting office and greeted her, a wide smile on his face: âHeheâŠâŠ. The Young Madam of such high status coming personally to this vulgar bathhouse truly dazzles up this poverty stricken place of mine.â
âHumpth.â Liu Yuru snorted with an icy, arrogant face: âBoss Gao, if this place is what you call poverty, then everyone else would be living in a dog house.â
âHehe, Young Madam is flattering me, flattering me.â Gao Qiu spoke modestly, hypocritically. However, his eyes flashed with a sinister light as they kept on subconsciously flitting past her beautiful, charming face and tall chest, secretly swallowing a mouthful of saliva.
The Zhu Family was the biggest family in Bao Ding City and so the young madam of the Zhu Family naturally wouldnât be ordinary. She was known as Bao Ding Cityâs number one beauty and the number of men drooling as they let their fantasies run wild with her were uncountable, with Gao Qiu being one of them.
Donât think that because he was fifty that he was old. It had to be said that for cultivators, fifty was the prime age for men.
Now that the beauty of his dreams was standing right in front of him, so close at hand, it was hard for him to keep control.
Seeing Gao Qiuâs face, Liu Yuruâs mood got even worse. Her charm and skill at attracting men were unrivalled (in her own opinon anyways), but today she had been called a withered willow, an unwanted woman before being told to scram by Qin Yu. It was something nobody could endure.
âBoss Gao, this place isnât very convenient. Letâs find a different place to chat.â
Liu Yuru smiled charmingly, causing Gao Qiu to fall infatuated and immediately nod, âAlright, alright. Young Madam, letâs go to the VIP room.â
The VIP room was where Gao Qiu received only his most distinguished and noble guests.
âBoss Gao, please do a favor for me. If itâs done well, my family and I will be very grateful.â In the VIP room, Liu Yuru opened her mouth and started to talk.
âYoung Madam, please donât hesitate to ask. As long I have the ability, we will definitely do it.â
âHelp me kill somebody.â Liu Yuruâs words were chilling.
âKill somebody?â An expression of doubt appeared on Gao Qiuâs face, âYoung Madam, with your position in the Zhu Family, killing somebody wouldnât be difficult at all. So long as you open your mouth, whoever that person is definitely will not be able to live until tomorrow.
âThis doesnât need to trouble the Zhu Family, because the culprit is right in your bath house so it would be best for you to act.â
âThat makes sense.â Gao Qiu rubbed his chin, a strange smile on his face as he looked at Liu Yuru: âOnly, what kind of thanks might I get for helping you kill that person?â
âMoney, spirit stones, whatever you want.â Liu Yuru spoke indifferently. She wasnât lacking coins or spirit stones at all.
âHaâŠâŠ. I know Young Madamâs position doesnât have any shortage of coins or spirit stones. Although I, Gao Qiu isnât as wealthy as the Young Madam, Iâm also not lacking in such things.â These words meant that he was rejecting her offer and didnât want such things.
Liu Yuru knew what he wanted and sneered in her heart. However, what was on her face was a seductive smile: âI know what you want, but if you want it, you must first show your skills.â
Gao Qiu was startled for a moment before he suddenly reacted. From Liu Yuruâs words, that meant he at least had a gleam of hope. He immediately patted his chest: âYoung Madam, donât worry. Iâll let you see my ability very quickly. In one hour, the head of that you want to kill will be in front of you.â
âVery good, then Iâll wait here for one hour. Right, the reason youâre killing him is because he killed Zhu Yuanqing. After killing him, spread this piece of news. Itâs best if all of Bao Ding City knows this.â
After Liu Yuru said that, Gao Qiuâs face immediately changed.
âDid you just say he killed Zhu Yuanqing, the third proud son of the Zhu Family, that Zhu Yuanqing?â
Liu Yuru glanced at Gao Qiu with something that was a smile yet not a smile, âWhat, is Boss Gao afraid? Donât worry, that person only killed Zhu Yuanqing by a fluke.â
âNo, what Iâm saying is how did Zhu Yuanqing die?â Gao Qiu was shocked about Zhu Yuanqingâs death. He was one of the three sons of the Zhu Family and his status was extremely high. Furthermore, he was the blood-related son of the current Zhu Family Head. His death would surely lead to chaos in the Zhu family.
âBoss Gao, you donât need to ask more about this. Somebody, youâll naturally know but right now, you only need to kill that person. If you donât have the guts, Iâll leave and find somebody else.â Liu Yuruâs smile faded away, her face becoming cold.
âHumpth, how could I not have the guts?â Gao Qiu stood up, slamming his palms on the table and shouted outside: âSomebody come!â

Upstairs in the Lovers Room meant for two, Qin Yu had forcefully occupied it alone.
âHow comfortable.â Qin Yu breathed out and laid in the warm bath, wishing he could just soak there for a lifetime.
A âcreakâ sound echoed. The door was carefully pushed open and somebody lightly entered the room.
Qin Yu was baffled. He had locked the room, so how could somebody else enter? But when he saw who had entered, he suddenly understood.
The one who had entered was that woman called Xiao Mei. She wored here, so naturally the lock couldnât keep her out.
âSir I hope my presumptuous entry hasnât affected your mood while bathing?â Xiao Mei used her hand to close the door, a charming smile rising on her lips. She wasnât somebody who treated the matters between men and women as something taboo and directly walked over to the bathside, her eyes locked on Qin Yuâs bathing figure like a wolf.
This time when she saw Qin Yu, she was somewhat amazed. Last time she saw him, he was filthy and caked in mud but now that everythingâs been washed off, he actually turned out to be a elegant, delicately pretty youth 3. Unfortunately, the boss wanted his life.
Qin Yu sunk his lower body underwater, hiding his crucial areas. He sneered in his head, âYouâve already f*cking entered yet so youâre still speaking nonsense about disturbing me. Laozi just wants to know what the hell youâre up to. But although he thought this way in his heart, on the outside he was calm and collected with a smile on his face, âHow could having the honor to talk with a beautiful woman be disturbing me?â
âHeheâŠâŠ.â Xiao Mei giggled delicately, her laugh like twinkling bells, âIt seems like Sir is also a man of noble temperament. I thought itâd be better for us to bathe together. After all, this lovers pool has always been meant for a couple of two.â After saying this, she didnât care if Qin Yu agreed or not and directly took off her embroidered shoes, directly exposing a pair of delicate, fair feet.
Qin Yu smiled wryly, âMiss wants to be a pair of lovers with me?â
âCould it be that Sir is unwilling?â Xiao Mei smiled at Qin Yu seductively, allowing him to see her frontal appearance.
âPlease, give me a reason why Iâd possibly be willing.â Qin Yuâs face sunk.
Xiao Mei didnât reply, an alluring smile still on her face as she stretched out her lily white hands, resting on the sash tying her clothes at her bosom. Suddenly, she pulled.
With that, the sash was pulled off and all her clothes fell to the ground.
Inside, she didnât wear any undergarments or pants. All she had been wearing was the outer dress and with that taken off, a body that could drive men crazy stood stark naked in front of Qin Yu. Everything was exposed in front of him.
âIs this reason enough?â Xiao Mei smiled seductively, filled with charm. As she spoke, she walked step by step, drawing closer to Qin Yuâs similarly naked body.
1. Arrogant way to refer to oneself. Not literally.
2. Literally means high hatred lmao.
3. Ikr, the author is purposely using feminine adjectives so itâs ironic he acts so macho when he actually looks like a pretty boy XD
