The Black Widow smiled as she looked at Chu Ge. Although Chu Ge’s martial arts were not as high as Jian Chunqiu’s, he was favored for his youth and the purity of his Spiritual Energy.
Just thinking about how these two would become delicacies on her plate, the Black Widow couldn’t help but feel delighted and wanted to laugh.
Chu Ge found her smile incredibly fake, and it startled him to the point where even his hair stood on end, making him want to step back.
"Looks like young Chu Ge is quite afraid of me. Could it be that you’re still a pure little virgin?"
The Black Widow spoke in a teasing tone.
Chu Ge coughed lightly, "Black Widow, you led us here, surely it wasn’t just to reminisce about old times with us, was it?"
The Black Widow laughed heartily twice, "Leading you here was not merely to reminisce. Moreover, there’s nothing but hatred between us, never any old times to speak of."
Originally leaning against the tree branch, the Black Widow stood up slowly and straightened her body, "I brought you here simply to ask for something from you." Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on novｅlfire.net
Chu Ge squinted his eyes in confusion as he looked at her, asking for something?
Jian Chunqiu seemed to have realized something, his gaze turned sharp, "Have you already mastered the Star Shifting Technique?"
The Black Widow’s eyes flickered with a hint of surprise but she quickly composed herself, "That’s right, an old friend knows me well. I brought you here to ask for something from you."
Jian Chunqiu let out a cold snort, "Stop dreaming. You think you can be a match for the two of us?"
The Black Widow laughed again, "I’m not your match? Perhaps, perhaps before you stepped into that formation, indeed I wasn’t. But now it’s different; you’ve both been affected by my Soft Imprisonment Powder, and your martial arts are temporarily lost."
Chu Ge looked at the Black Widow skeptically, full of questions in his mind. He wanted to test it, and found it true, as the Black Widow said, he couldn’t summon any strength.
"How is this possible?"
Chu Ge was shocked; they clearly hadn’t been bitten by the bats and Poison Snakes, so how could they be poisoned?
Jian Chunqiu noticed this too; he felt weak in his legs, and couldn’t muster any strength in his hands.
"Stop struggling. Although you weren’t bitten by the Poison Snakes or bats, the bats’ wings are laced with poison; as long as you breathe, there’s no escape!"
This poison is colorless and tasteless, and Chu Ge was glad it’s not like the poison they encountered in Su City, which directly sealed their martial arts.
Although their martial arts are temporarily sealed, if the Black Widow tries to absorb their power, Chu Ge has a way to make a getaway.
Chu Ge was contemplating when the Black Widow motioned for the people beside her to step forward, "You two, take these two into the cave."
Just thinking about absorbing the energy of the two made her uncontrollably excited.
One of the Shadow Killers frowned as he saw the Black Widow’s crazed appearance, "Are you sure you can guarantee success? I’ve seen Chu Ge’s skills; he’s no ordinary person. Even the old man beside him is said to be formidable. Can you really absorb their martial arts?"
The Black Widow sneered lightly, "Didn’t you just see? They’re completely immobilized. But don’t worry, I will save Chu Ge’s life for you."
The Black Widow looked at them disdainfully, remembering how they repeatedly lost to Chu Ge and Jian Chunqiu, thinking they were all cowards.
But now, she subdued them, and the Black Widow felt a surge of pride.
"Alright, I need to absorb their True Qi, and soon I’ll leave their lives to you."
The Black Widow was tired of talking to him, waved her hand, and was about to walk into the cave.
But just as the Black Widow walked a few steps, suddenly a shadow flashed, and then Chu Ge and Jian Chunqiu were in the hands of someone else.
The man was an old man in a Zhongshan suit, and he looked at the Black Widow coldly, "A woman’s heart is the most venomous, I’m taking these two; if you want them, come take them from me!"
The man moved so quickly that the Black Widow didn’t have time to react.
By the time she thought to chase after them, the man was gone.
The Black Widow stomped her foot in anger, "Where did this person come from!"
She painstakingly designed all this, only for someone else to reap the benefits!
How could she swallow this outrage!
The Shadow Killer beside her saw this and looked at the Black Widow with disdain, letting out a cold snort, "Everything came unexpectedly; had you taken their lives directly, none of this would’ve happened."
"Now it’s ruined, we’ll have to plan anew."
The Black Widow turned to glare at them, her mind still questioning who this person was.
Chu Ge and Jian Chunqiu had already passed out when Black Widow ordered them carried into the cave.
Now they lay on two ice beds, with white gases surrounding their bodies.
"Master, do you really not need to avoid this?" Gu Tong couldn’t help but ask.
Dao Liu glanced at him indifferently, "Didn’t you say they already know my identity?"
"Since they already know, why should I avoid them?"
The person who saved Chu Ge was none other than Dao Liu Senior, and they were in an ice cave now.
This place had abundant Spiritual Energy, perfect for Chu Ge and Jian Chunqiu’s recovery.
"Master, I don’t understand, what did Chu Ge have that captured your interest?"
After observing Dao Liu five times, Gu Tong couldn’t resist asking again.
Dao Liu glanced at him and smiled, "The reason I liked him is the same as when I liked you; this boy is like you, very spiritual. He’s a talent worth cultivating and sculpting."
Gu Tong sneered, "I think I’m much better than Chu Ge."
At least he wasn’t as narcissistic as Chu Ge.
Dao Liu chuckled and raised his eyes, "Tell me, what did you learn while at the Gambling Stone Field with them?"
Gu Tong paused in confusion looking at Dao Liu, "Learned what?"
Dao Liu nodded, "I previously mentioned, I had you go to the Gambling Stone Field, not just to observe Chu Ge..."
