The Great Scumbag

The moonlight was hazy.

In the dark cave, Chang Ping was troubled, facing a Cold Pond burning with flames.

Although he had confirmed that Xiangliu's soul was not within its main body, he couldn't get close to the main body without clearing the poisonous water in the pond.

Xiangliu's main body possessed Legendary-tier strength, and the black scales covering its body were equivalent to Legendary armor. Unless a Legendary ranged weapon was used, it would be impossible to harm it in the slightest.

Chang Ping's current Strength was only a little over 20,000, not even enough to exchange for a Gold Weapon that cost 50,000, let alone a Legendary weapon that cost five million.

To eliminate Xiangliu's main body, there was only one method now—attack its weakness.

After all, he had only used a Silver Weapon to blind Xiangliu in both eyes back then.

"By the way, what kind of poison is in the water?" Chang Ping suddenly turned to Shen Xiu, who was yawning, and asked.

Shen Xiu froze. "You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? The Old Monster only told me there was poison in the water, but didn't tell me what kind."

"How about you try going into the water?" Chang Ping's eyes gleamed.

Shen Xiu stumbled back in fear. "Why don't you try it yourself?!"

What a scumbag! Not only did he take her body, but now he was actually asking her to risk her life.

A night as husband and wife is worth a hundred nights of friendship; how could he be so heartless!

"I remember you once said the poison you were afflicted with was called Blackwater Strange Poison, and now there's a pool of poisonous black water right in front of us. I believe there must be some connection between the two. You've already been poisoned, so there's a high probability you won't be affected by the poisonous water again."

Chang Ping said as he chased after Shen Xiu.

"What do you mean 'high probability,' you bastard?!" Shen Xiu fled desperately. "Give up, I will absolutely not go in."

Chang Ping was gambling with his life, not his own life, but hers.

This heartless scumbag!

"Whether you want to or not, you're going in!" Chang Ping quickly caught up to Shen Xiu, grabbed her fair white legs, and slung her over his shoulder. Chang Ping lightly patted Shen Xiu's buttocks and said, "If you don't die this time, all past grievances, like you digging out my heart, will be wiped clean."

"No! Don't! I don't want to go in! I'm your woman, one day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness, how can you bear to let me die?" Shen Xiu frantically slapped Chang Ping's back, struggling desperately.

He walked to the edge of the pond and put Shen Xiu down.

"Indeed, I can't let you go to your death, so I prepared this for you!" Chang Ping pressed Shen Xiu's fragrant shoulder with one hand to prevent her from escaping, and held the diving suit he had just exchanged for in the other.

This set of Advanced Diving Suit was not cheap, costing him a full 1,000 Strength Value, the same price as the Universal Mask.

There was no need to mention how heaven-defying the abilities of the Universal Mask were. Since the diving suit sold for the same price, it naturally had its merits.

Firstly, regardless of the wearer's height or build, it could automatically adjust to the perfect size.

Secondly, it possessed extremely strong pressure resistance. Even if one reached the bottom of the ocean at a depth of 10,000 meters, it would not be crushed by the immense water pressure.

Finally, it provided comprehensive 360-degree protection without any blind spots. The oxygen tank on its back could allow the wearer to stay underwater for twenty-four hours.

"What is this thing? It's so ugly, I don't want to wear it!" Looking at the bizarre, frog-like costume, Shen Xiu directly refused, "Chang Ping, if you have any conscience left, let me go. Think about how many times I've served you."

"Conscience?" Shen Xiu's words amused Chang Ping so much that he wanted to push her into the water immediately. "I lost that long ago. Have you forgotten? My heart was stolen by you and swallowed!"

"This thing can effectively protect you from the poisonous water. Since you don't want to wear it, then go down naked!" Chang Ping grabbed Shen Xiu's slender arm and barbarically dragged her towards the water.

"Stop! Don't pull! I'll wear it, alright?" Shen Xiu's face was pale and desperate. "Remember what you said, as long as I go into the water, all our grievances will be settled, and you're not allowed to trouble me anymore!"

She deeply regretted it now. If she hadn't swallowed Chang Ping's heart back then, she wouldn't have lost her virginity later, and now she was facing death.

"A man's word is his bond." Chang Ping patted his chest and guaranteed, "Here, I'll help you put it on."

In a flash, Chang Ping stripped Shen Xiu completely, leaving her standing naked before him.

Chang Ping couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart. However, he suppressed the reluctance within him.

The most important thing now was to destroy Xiangliu's main body.

After helping Shen Xiu put on the diving suit, Chang Ping embraced her slender waist and carried her into the water.

With a "plop," water splashed everywhere.

Shen Xiu sank to the bottom in the blink of an eye.

"Are you okay?" Chang Ping's heart hung in suspense as he watched the ripples spreading in the pond.

After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Shen Xiu surfaced.

She said excitedly in a muffled voice, "I'm fine! I'm still alive! Don't forget your promise."

"Promise? What promise? I don't know what you're talking about." Seeing that Shen Xiu was not dead, Chang Ping was also very excited, but he didn't show it on his face. "Just kidding, come up for now, I have something to give you."

He had exchanged for eight C4 Explosive Packs and handed them to Shen Xiu, telling her to stick them onto Xiangliu's eyelids.

"Remember, one pack per eye, don't use more," Chang Ping reminded her, holding the remote control.

C4 Explosive Packs were Silver-tier one-time use weapons, relatively cheap, costing only 1,000 Strength Value.

But the sheer quantity added up. Eight packs cost him 8,000 Strength Value, almost half of his total Strength Value.

"Got it, so annoying!" Shen Xiu muttered impatiently, picked up a pack of explosives, and dived into the water.

The C4 Explosive Packs exchanged from the shop had good waterproofing. Even when submerged in water, they were not affected at all.

One... Two... Three... Eight!

Shen Xiu placed all eight bundles of explosives one after another before returning to shore.

Chang Ping took a bucket of clean water from his Space Ring and washed the dirt off his advanced diving suit.

He held a brush and meticulously cleaned it inch by inch, paying special attention to certain private areas, making Shen Xiu's face turn as red as a piece of cloth.

Scrub, scrub, scrub!

Chang Ping only stopped when he had washed it thirty times, satisfied.

As the diving suit came off, Shen Xiu's flushed face was revealed. She had thought Chang Ping would only wash it two or three times, but she never expected him to wash it thirty times, making her almost collapse.

"Here!" Chang Ping handed Shen Xiu her original clothes, then bent down and carefully touched the diving suit, storing it into the small Space Ring on his right hand.

After helping Shen Xiu, whose hands and feet were limp from being scrubbed, put on her clothes, Chang Ping pointed to a rope not far away and said, "Let's go up first. Detonating the explosives might cause the cave to collapse, and it wouldn't be good if we were buried inside."

A moment later, the two climbed back to the ground along the rope and arrived in the spacious courtyard.

"Die, Old Monster!" Chang Ping pressed the detonation button on the remote control.
