Chapter 9: The Heavenly Flower Lady

  "Shout, shout loudly, even if your throat is hoarse, no one can save you!" A movie-like voice came from behind me, making my heart flutter. Damn it, such a thrilling scene was paired with an old hag like her, and I... Ugh, don't mention what I just did, I feel like vomiting.

  Perhaps it was seeing me look at her with disgust in my eyes, the old woman's tone turned cold and she said "Just now you called me an old woman, have you seen through my true form?"

  "True self? What true self, you damn old hag can still be true to where, I cursed loudly in my heart, but on the surface, I forced a smile "Beautiful sister, how can you get old, look at your skin, it's as white and tender as that of a three or four-year-old baby, and look at your figure, curvy and voluptuous, even those models can't compare to you, and your eyes, like precious gems, so captivating, and your..."

  "Halt, halt, young one! Earlier when you were infatuated, why wasn't your mouth so sweet? Charging at you with this mouth, I won't kill you today, just cutting off your right hand will do," the old lady interrupted my words that made me feel like I had goosebumps all over, saying very dryly.

  "Chop hands?" I had some doubts, although I guessed she was here to grab the Wheel of Rebirth, but didn't Fatso say that chopping hands was useless? How did this person not know?

  "What? Unwilling? Do I have to take action myself?" The old lady saw me hesitate, and her eyes suddenly turned cold again. This was Li Huaguang's territory, with over a hundred younger brothers and thugs below, if she were discovered, it wouldn't be good for her either.

  "If I told you that chopping hands is useless, would you believe me?" After hesitating for a moment, I still decided to tell her the truth. Otherwise, wouldn't it be pointless to chop them off like this?

  "How dare you deceive me?" The old woman didn't believe it at all, and her eyes widened as if she was about to take action. But the next moment, she seemed to have thought of something, pinched a strange hand seal with both hands, muttered some words in her mouth, and wiped her eyes with her sleeve. Suddenly, her eyes emitted a strange glow.

  "Ah" The strange light shot into my eyes, causing a sharp pain, and this pain was transmitted along my blood vessels to the palm of my right hand, making my palm tremble with pain.

  "The old lady looked at me and seemed to be struck, starting to mutter to herself, saying things like 'it's really like this' and 'why did you deceive me'."

  Taking advantage of her daze, I wanted to open the big door again, but secretly used force to pull it several times and still couldn't open it. I don't know what was done to this door, and since I couldn't open the door, I had to think of another way.

  "Kid, since begging didn't work, you'd better come with me. I won't treat you unfairly." The old lady woke up in just a few seconds and said to me with a fierce tone.

  Follow her? If she were a beautiful young woman, I would have gritted my teeth and stomped my foot to acknowledge it, but what I see now is an old hag with wrinkles all over her face, just like my grandmother. How could I possibly be willing to follow her?

  "Hey, sister, it's not that I don't want to go with you, but I can't. From start to finish, I've been an innocent bystander who got dragged into this whole thing. Can you please let me off? I'm completely out of options now, and anyone who can still cause me trouble at this point is basically inhuman. So I have no choice but to play the sympathy card, hoping it might move her. Isn't it said that women are the easiest to move with emotions?"

  However, I clearly underestimated the old lady's mind. As they say, she is not a human being and cannot be easily moved by me. She frowned and said, "As long as you live in this world, there are no innocent people. Let me tell you, Lin Hao, I came to find you personally today, which is already good for you. Even if you can hide from me today, can you hide from me tomorrow? Don't forget that you still have parents and relatives."

  As soon as she finished speaking, she stretched out her hand to grab my collar, but she didn't notice the anger in my eyes. I was already unlucky enough to have encountered this kind of thing, but if it involved others, that would be unacceptable. Previously, I had been worried sick about Xue Jie's life or death, and now she was using my parents to threaten me - how could I not be angry?

  Fury rose to my head, I couldn't care about so much anymore. The dagger in my hand, which had already begun to sweat, suddenly stabbed out, its target being the old woman's chest. My intention was to take her life.

  However, the old woman's life was tough and she didn't die easily. She was startled when I suddenly launched a sneak attack, but she quickly turned her hand from grasping to blocking. With just a light flick of her hand, my dagger veered off course.

  "Awesome!" I exclaimed in my heart, but I wouldn't just stop at this one move no matter how hard I tried. My hand slipped and I immediately kicked out with all my might. You see, I was leaning against the wall, making it easy to exert force, and since it was a full-strength kick, even though that old lady had prepared herself, she was still pushed back several steps by my one kick.

  "Help! Help!" I held the dagger in my hand, pointing at the old woman, while my feet kept kicking the door and shouting for help, hoping someone would hear me and come to rescue.

  "Little kid, it's been many years since anyone dared to kick my butt, you make me very angry!" The old lady I kicked away had a terrible look on her face, she thought I was afraid of fighting back. Seeing me making another move to shout for help, she suddenly couldn't sit still either, after finishing speaking the whole person rushed towards me like a gust of wind, extremely fast.

  At such a fast speed, I should be invisible in theory, but at this moment my eyes suddenly flashed with a hot current. After the hot current passed, my eyes brightened a lot. Looking at the rushing old woman again, I felt that her speed had slowed down by countless times. She now looks like those slow-motion movies.

  So, one second after the "poof", I thrust my dagger into her shoulder. Originally, I was going to stab her in the heart, but at the last moment, I let her dodge the vital spot. Even so, it still made that old woman's eyes widen in incredulity.

  "Go die!" Although I stabbed her with a knife, the old woman also grabbed my shoulder. After being shocked for a moment, she exerted force in her hand and I was flung out, then crashed into the wall and fell down again.

  "Cough, cough", I was hit and almost lost my breath, my chest felt stuffy and I kept coughing, but strangely, my mind became calmer and clearer.

  I took a look around the environment, this room is a standard hotel room, TV air conditioner bedside lamp and so on are very complete, there is also a small tea table, sofa, a quick plan soon floated in my mind.

  I quickly got up, grabbed the stool and smashed it against the window. Then I turned on the bedside lamp and punched it to pieces, pouring in the mineral water I had drunk before. Since I live on the fourth floor, the shattered glass would definitely attract attention from others. The broken bedside lamp with water could also cause a short circuit, which would alert the management personnel.

  I was going to smash the TV and make some noise, but a huge force came from my waist and sent me flying two meters away, hitting the wall and making my head spin, seeing stars. It turned out I was kicked by the old lady.

  "Little one, I haven't been hurt this badly in over a decade. Today, I'll let you off easy. Don't worry, I'll make sure you have a good time. Tonight, I'll serve you well." Seeing that I seemed to have lost my fighting spirit, the old woman's ferocious expression softened somewhat, and she pointed at her shoulder which was covered in blood.

  "Damn it, you old bitch, come on and kill me, you damn are a cheap slut. I cursed as soon as I opened my mouth, feeling extremely wronged in my heart, who did I provoke, why do they all want to kill me?"

  "Ah, ah," the old woman responded with a few fierce kicks, making me feel utterly defeated, and in the end I only had the strength to take cold breaths.

  "Wah wah", the old lady took out something unknown from her bag, stuffed it into my mouth, then pinched my chin, and I swallowed it.

  "Heh heh, kiddo, do you know why I'm called Heavenly Flower Granny?" The old lady gently patted my face and smiled.

  Not listening, not listening, I'm not listening, I shook my head desperately, because I knew what she said was absolutely nothing good.

  "But the old woman continued to say, 'Tianhua, that's a virus. Because I'm best at poisoning, whether it's Qimen poison or Xiangxi venom, there's nothing I don't know how to do. What I gave you to eat earlier was Sanri Duanjiangsan, don't look at the name and think it's the same, but the effect is not the same. Within three days, if you don't have my antidote, the poison will slowly corrode your intestines, think about that feeling carefully. And don't even think about running away, because even if you go to the hospital, they won't be able to detect it. Even when the poison takes effect, they'll just think you have a stomachache.'"

  "Cough, cough, less nonsense, I'll go with you, then give me the antidote." The old woman's words made my heart feel a sense of fear, but I quickly calmed down. Her poisoning me was only to capture me alive, which means she didn't want to or couldn't kill me, and this is exactly my opportunity.

  Seeing my attitude change so quickly, the old woman was also stunned for a moment, but when she saw my eyes, she let it go. Yes, the instinct to survive is enough to make people do anything.

  "Follow me and don't speak." The old lady took out a bottle of medicine from her bag and wiped it on my face, I became a black man. Then she fiddled with my face for a while and I was simply disguised. Only then was I pulled out of the room.

  As soon as I left the room, I saw that there were not a few people rushing wildly in the corridor. It seemed that someone had seen the commotion I made, but I was already controlled by Tiān Huā Pó Po and didn't dare to shout for help, so I could only watch them rush towards my room with wide eyes.

  "Keep walking, don't play any tricks." The old lady Tian Hua held the dagger she had given me and poked it into my waist, making me walk up the stairs. She didn't plan to take the elevator anymore.

  "Bang!" Just as I stepped onto the stairs, a loud explosion burst in my ears, leaving me dazed. At the same time, a massive force surged through my arm. When I opened my eyes again, I was already several meters away from the ceiling. Beside me stood Lan Jie, dressed in leather clothes.

  "Xiao Lan, take him away, I'll handle this." On the other side, Ning Ge was holding a gun aimed at Tian Hua Po Po, who was covering her arm and staring at me fiercely.

  "Don't kill her, I've been poisoned, I need an antidote!" Seeing Ning Ge about to shoot Tian Hua Po Po, I suddenly shouted out. Earlier she had already said that I had taken her Three Day Intestine Severing Powder.

  "Hand over the antidote!" Ning Ge shouted at Tian Hua Po Po.

  "Hmph, you two little brats, daring to provoke me, Tian Hua's old lady? Let's see if you're tired of living!" Tian Hua's old lady first pulled out a few silver needles and inserted them into her arm, immediately stopping the bleeding. After giving me a glance, she emitted white smoke all over her body, quickly covering up her figure.

  "Bang, bang, bang", Ning Ge continuously fired his gun, but it could be felt that he didn't hit the big and fat Tian Hua Po Po, instead hitting the wall.

  The smoke of "retreat" continued to spread, Lan Jie pulled me back constantly, but when she saw Tian Hua Popo appear in front of us, Lan Jie pushed me hard to the back and charged forward with her knife.

  The two of them clashed in a flurry of blows, their speed incredibly fast. If I hadn't seen the sparks flying off their clashing daggers, I would have barely been able to see their movements. However, soon Tian Hua's speed began to slow down. Not to mention her age, but earlier she had been stabbed by me and shot by Ning Ge, although we had managed to stop the bleeding, the damage was still very real. So after another ten or so seconds, Tian Hua was kicked flying by Lan Jie.

  "Hand over the antidote and I'll spare your life," Ning Ge said, pointing his gun at Tian Hua Po Po.

  "Hmph, spare my life? Who'll die first is still uncertain, look at your palms." Tian Hua's wife wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. She knew she was done for. The best outcome would be to retreat with her whole body intact, but even that would be a huge loss.

  The two of them were also familiar with poison, so they subconsciously glanced at their palms and immediately froze, because there was indeed a black spot on the center of their hands - they had been poisoned.

  Bang! Ning Ge fired a shot at Tian Hua's feet.

  "Hand over the antidote, or I'll make you wish you were dead." Ning Ge's face was extremely ugly, originally a winning situation had turned out like this, even they had fallen for it.

  "Send me away from here, and I will naturally give you the antidote." Tian Hua said calmly, now the situation is that she not only hasn't fallen into a disadvantage, but also has a hint of taking the upper hand. After all, no one wants to see themselves die, and of course, she's not stupid, didn't make excessive demands.

  "Are you looking for death or what, believe it or not, soon you'll be begging me to kill you." Ning Ge's forehead veins were bulging one by one, he didn't expect that even though he had the upper hand, he was still being toyed with like this.

  "Hmph" The old woman just sneered and smiled, at this time the poison had not yet taken effect, wait until it takes effect to see who will be begging for whom!

  Just as I thought it was going to be a stalemate, the light bulb on my head suddenly flashed and then went out with a pop.

  "It's so cold, how can it be like this?" A gust of wind blew over and made me shiver, and I exclaimed in surprise.

  "Yin energy, mischievous yin energy." Tian Hua Po Po said with wide eyes.

  "Brother Ning and Sister Lang, be careful, there's someone behind you!" I suddenly saw a disheveled person appear behind them and shouted loudly.

  "Bang, bang!" Ning Ge and the others seemed to have felt it too, turning back to shoot, but strangely, the two were still thrown out.

  "Ah, ghosts! Ning Ge, run quickly!" The two were thrown out, but those people didn't give up. As soon as they made a move, they wanted to put someone to death, and continued to chase and kill Ning Ge and Lan Jie. That's why I saw their appearance, but this one look made me scared out of my wits, because they all looked like dead men, with one of them missing half his face.
