Turning One's Face Without Mercy

After clearing out the entire stock of the steamed bun shop for lunch, Chang Ping left, still wanting more.

On his way back to the academy, he ran into Nie Li, Lu Piao, and Du Ze. The three brothers were like Siamese twins, inseparable.

Chang Ping guessed they probably slept in the same bed.

Lu Piao, with a face as black as a donkey's, brushed past Chang Ping without even a greeting.

Chang Ping didn't bother with Lu Piao either.

"You show me an inch, I'll show you a mile. You ignore me, and I can't be bothered to talk to you," Chang Ping snorted coldly. Anyway, the money for the food had been returned, so he didn't owe Lu Piao anything anymore.

Glancing at the Space Ring on his right ring finger, Chang Ping continued walking towards the dorms. He had brought back two steaming hot meat buns for Shen Xiu. He wondered if Shen Xiu had recovered yet? If she had gotten out of bed?

Chang Ping licked his lips and then grinned crookedly. Compared to the street vendor's meat buns, he preferred Shen Xiu's two plain steamed buns.

Hehehe!

Dormitory 521 was locked tight. Shen Xiu wasn't in the dorm; she had probably gone to eat.

Chang Ping took out his key, opened the door, and went inside. He took off his boots, propped his arm under his head, and lay down on the bed. The moment he lay down, Shen Xiu's smooth, jade-like body automatically appeared in his mind, and her soul-stirring cries echoed in his ears.

"She's going to be the death of me," Chang Ping couldn't help but shiver. "No wonder she chose to fuse with the Blazing Flame Demon Fox. She's practically a Fox Spirit."

Suddenly, the image in his mind was replaced by another.

It was a scene of his heart being brutally ripped out and him being brutally murdered.

"Chang Ping, have you forgotten the hatred of having your heart gouged out and being killed?" Chang Ping questioned himself, a surge of anger rising in his chest. "No! I can't keep indulging in Shen Xiu's tenderness. She's my enemy. I will torment her severely. I will destroy the Sacred Family."

Although he had promised her that past grievances would be settled when he blew up Xiangliu's main body, that only guaranteed he wouldn't take her life after he got tired of her.

Want him to cherish her like he cherished Ning'er? Not a chance!

That vicious woman didn't deserve it!

"Born in distress, die in comfort," Chang Ping suddenly remembered a saying. He was living too comfortably now, without a sense of crisis, and he might just fall flat on his face.

He suddenly stood up and began practicing the Great Ancestor Long Fist in the room.

A moment later, Shen Xiu pushed the door open, a box in her delicate hand, her face beaming like a flower.

After being "watered" by Chang Ping and recovering, she felt refreshed and incredibly comfortable.

"What madness are you up to now?" Shen Xiu shot Chang Ping a glare, placed the box on the table, and sat down. "I just went to the Star Picking Restaurant to eat, and I packed some food back for you. There's half a roast chicken in here. Hurry up and wash your hands and eat it while it's hot."

She knew Chang Ping had a large appetite, so she deliberately ordered more dishes.

Chang Ping ignored her, continuing to practice his punches.

Shen Xiu got angry, clenching her delicate fists. How dare he treat her words like farts? He didn't appreciate her kindness. She should have just let him starve instead of packing food for him.

"Hey! I'm talking to you! Didn't you hear me!" Seeing that Chang Ping still wasn't paying attention to her, Shen Xiu raised her palm and slapped the tabletop.

"Insolent!"

Chang Ping suddenly roared, startling Shen Xiu.

She looked at Chang Ping in fear, seeing him frowning, his eyes glaring, as fierce as a snow-wind giant ape from the Sacred Ancestor Mountain Range.

"How dare you slam the table at me? Are you tired of living?" Chang Ping strode forward menacingly. He opened the lid of the food container and slammed it onto the ground, pointing at the abundant dishes inside. "Don't think I don't know that the Star Picking Restaurant is a secret stronghold of the Dark Guild!"

"I just captured the Dark Guild's Black Fox for the City Lord's Mansion. You brought me food from the Star Picking Restaurant, are you trying to poison me?" Chang Ping grabbed Shen Xiu's red pigtail. "There are so many restaurants, why did you go to the Star Picking Restaurant? What are your intentions? Speak!"

Shen Xiu started crying in fear and quickly said no.

Was he a dog? He could turn on her just like that.

She just wanted to support the business of her family's industry. She absolutely had no intention of harming him. Chang Ping wrongly accusing her made her incredibly sad.

"No?" Chang Ping snorted, picked up the dishes from the container, and brought them to Shen Xiu's mouth, saying forcefully, "If you didn't poison it, then eat it all!" The thought of his heart being gouged out made him angry.

"But... but I'm already full!" Shen Xiu replied weakly.

Chang Ping threw the plate onto the table, let go of Shen Xiu's pigtail, put his hands on his hips, and glared at her. "If you don't eat it, it means you poisoned it."

"Can I just have one bite?" With no other choice, Shen Xiu picked up her chopsticks and took a bite of food.

One bite after another, Shen Xiu soon tasted every dish she had packed.

"I ate so much and I'm fine, the food isn't poisoned," Shen Xiu put down her chopsticks, took out a handkerchief, and wiped her oily little mouth. "Besides, if you die, I won't be able to live either. How could I poison you..."

Before she could finish speaking, Shen Xiu's eyes rolled back, and with a "thump," she fell backward onto the ground.

Foam spilled from her mouth, and her body convulsed. She was clearly poisoned.

"I knew you had bad intentions!"

The facts were right in front of him, what else was there to say?

However, if Shen Xiu had poisoned it, she definitely wouldn't have eaten it herself. It was most likely that some scum from the Dark Guild, holding a grudge because he captured Black Fox, had secretly mixed in the poison.

"What a fool!" Chang Ping said speechlessly, picking up Shen Xiu and putting her on the bed.

After spending a hundred Strength Value, he exchanged for a set of stomach-pumping equipment. Chang Ping inserted the tube into Shen Xiu's mouth, down her esophagus, and into her stomach.

After working for over an hour, he finally flushed out all the poisoned food Shen Xiu had eaten.

The smell in the dorm was unbearable.

"Dark Guild, very well. I wasn't going to look for you, but you've come to harm me first." Chang Ping tucked the unconscious Shen Xiu in, a surge of anger rising uncontrollably in his chest.

If it weren't for the Ghost Fiend gifting Shen Xiu the Bloodthirsty Demonic Art, perhaps she wouldn't have had her heart gouged out and died.

They sent Black Fox to capture him two days ago, and now they've poisoned him.

Old grudges and new ones, it's time to settle the score!

"However, my current strength is far from enough to destroy the Dark Guild." The angrier Chang Ping became, the calmer his mind grew.

The leader of the Dark Guild, the Demon Lord, is a peak Legendary Demon Spirit Master. The vice-leader, Dragon Fiend, is a Legendary Demon Spirit Master. Although the Ghost Fiend is a peak Black Gold Demon Spirit Master, he possesses a Legendary-grade magic treasure bestowed by the Demon Lord, making his strength comparable to a Legendary.

If these three were to join forces against him, he feared he wouldn't be able to get revenge and would lose his life instead.

Although his Soul Sea could make him immune to energy attacks, once a Demon Spirit Master activates Demon Spirit Possession, their physical body becomes comparable to a Demon Beast, with extremely strong physical attack and defense. If he were to engage in close combat with the Dark Guild's higher-ups, he wouldn't have the upper hand.

"Do I have to wait until I become a Legendary warrior before I can declare war on the Dark Guild?" Chang Ping was extremely unwilling.

At that moment, the sound of footsteps approached from outside the door.

Chang Ping looked over curiously. At this time, the instructors were all lecturing, and the students were all listening to lectures. Who could it be outside? The fat dorm manager?

With a "bang," the door was suddenly kicked open forcefully.

A familiar face appeared before his eyes.

"Shen Fei?!"
