When Poor, Cultivate Yourself; When Rich, Keep Wives and Concubines in Droves

"Huh, it's that pervert! What's he doing here?" Jian Shaoxin's eyes widened. That black robe had appeared repeatedly in her nightmares, and she would recognize it even if it turned to ashes.

Within the Mana Deprivation Field, Russell was unable to use his Magic Power, and the black mist covering his face disappeared without a trace. Jian Shaoxin craned her neck, trying to see what her enemy looked like, but because Russell deliberately avoided her, she could only see his chin; everything above his nose was covered by a hood.

Duan Xinlan lowered her head and vomited two ounces of blood. She wiped it away casually and asked softly, "What, have you had any dealings with this person?"

Jian Shaoxin pouted. "Sister Lan, the person who poured yogurt on me was the one I told you about before."

A glint flashed in Duan Xinlan's eyes. She thought to herself that there was always a way out. According to intelligence, Russell had the ability to Teleportation. If he was willing to help, the three of them could easily escape.

It's unclear whether Russell's instantaneous ability is magic or superpower. If it's magic, Russell himself might be in trouble.

As for the 'deep-seated hatred' between Jian Shaoxin and Russell, Duan Xinlan thought it was nothing at all. It was just a prank. If she were captured by the enemy, she would only be splashed with some yogurt and have her Space Bag stolen. She would even have to thank them!

"Is it possible that you know him in real life, and that he captured you but didn't harm you, which clearly shows he showed mercy?" Duan Xinlan felt that the possibility of the two knowing each other was very high.

"What do you mean there was no harm? I'm traumatized..." Jian Shaoxin said through gritted teeth. The yogurt incident had become a dark chapter in her life, and she had to get revenge.

At the same time, she stared intently at the lower half of Russell's face, comparing it to her memories of anyone with a chin like that.

Russell, on whom Duan Xinlan had placed high hopes, felt a faint sadness. His original plan was to provoke a conflict between the army and the Reincarnator, further escalating the situation. He had already killed enough people; the more Reincarnator died, the better for him. He would quietly remain a handsome, behind-the-scenes manipulator, watching from the sidelines as others fought to the death.

But now, this is a situation where he can only escape after one wave of attacks. He doesn't want to confront the Reincarnator head-on; he just wants to stab them in the back.

Ultimately, it all comes down to a lack of strength!

As the saying goes, when poor, one can only live alone; when rich, one can have a harem of wives and concubines...

Oops, a slip of the tongue!

As the saying goes, "When poor, one should cultivate one's own virtue; when successful, one should benefit all under heaven!" If his abilities allowed, he wouldn't mind helping Shen Menghan's teammates, so he could show off in front of his ex-girlfriend in the future.

So what if Supergirl? If I hadn't stepped in to save the day, your three female teammates would definitely be finished today.

By the time you get back, not only will the body be ruined, but even the proteins will have deteriorated!

Wang Ba glanced at Russell. The sudden appearance of a spoiler, who was not part of the plan, made his heart skip a beat. However, after seeing the black mage's robe clearly, only a mysterious smile remained in his eyes. The mage in the Mana Deprivation Field was not a spoiler; he was clearly offering himself up for points.

I just don't know what she looks like...

Wang Ba raised his hand and stroked his two small mustaches. "You guys keep an eye on these two women and don't let them cause trouble. I'll deal with the mage myself."

"Brother Ba, you can handle the mage without any problem. As for these three women, we can..." One of the men behind Wang Ba asked, staring at Duan Xinlan's mature and alluring figure with a burning gaze.

Faced with such beauty, not only him, but the other six also gradually developed sinister smiles.

A hint of displeasure flashed across Wang Ba's face, and he sneered, "How many times have I told you, those who achieve great things must never be seduced by women. If you really want to do something, the Red Powder Skulls in the Main God Space can have as many as you want!"

"Brother Ba, it's a waste to just leave it there..."

"What a waste! Those three women are an eyesore. If they weren't important hostages, I would have killed them long ago!" Wang Ba said dismissively. He was a man who did great things, and women were nothing to him.

You find it an eyesore because you're gay!

The six underlings looked at each other, resentful but not daring to show it. They had all been taught a lesson by Wang Ba and knew the consequences of angering him.

Seeing his underlings submit to his Overlord Aura, Wang Ba nodded in satisfaction and strode toward Russell with a sinister grin.

Duan Xinlan winked at Jian Shaoxin, pushed her to Russell's side, stood up and stood in front of Wang Ba, wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth. "Don't act like a victor. Your opponent is me. You can't be called a victor until I fall."

Jian Shaoxin scrambled over to Russell's side. With her sharp eyes, she saw that Russell had one hand on Yong Fan's shoulder and the other on his buttocks. She immediately glared at him fiercely and snatched Yong Fan into her arms.

"Pervert! You really are a lecherous wolf, even at a time like this you still try to take advantage!"

Russell rolled his eyes and ignored her. The situation was critical; couldn't he just space out for a bit?

"Where's your Teleportation? That guy's gay, use it if you don't want him to kill you!" Jian Shaoxin said, grabbing Russell's arm, suppressing her resentment, forcing a dry grin, and throwing out a creepy, seductive wink. "If you can take us out with you, all our past grievances will be wiped clean!"

Girl, when you're asking for a favor, you need to be more polite. I know you're trying to flirt, but where we're from, we call that kind of look intimidation.

Russell pulled his arm away. How could they be flirting in public? He wasn't a casual person.

He already had a hunch about Wang Ba being gay; the other man had been looking at him with a lecherous gaze since earlier. Anyone who'd read that guy's work could understand—the words were all about cannibalism!

However, Russell wasn't too worried and decided to wait and see.

Duan Xinlan still has the strength to fight. The mature woman is on the path of cultivation, so she will definitely have a powerful move when pushed to the limit, and may be able to turn the tables.

Wang Ba flicked his finger, and the sharp energy split into four, fierce, sharp, and incredibly fast, piercing through Duan Xinlan's arms, shoulders, and thighs. The latter groaned and fell to the ground, coughing up blood.

Russell: "..."

Wow, so fast!

Why do you vomit blood when you have a limb injury? How much blood have you vomited since then? Are you made of blood?

Duan Xinlan collapsed to the ground, her face pale, and said defiantly, "What, you've run out of strength? You still have the nerve to use such a weak and feeble attack to embarrass yourself!"

"Commendable will!"

Wang Ba praised it before continuing, "The Pure Yang Technique is awe-inspiring, but you are a woman, and you are destined not to be able to unleash this divine skill to its full potential. You are no match for me!"

"Don't talk big too soon. If you hadn't launched the sneak attack first, the outcome would have been uncertain!"

"It's no use. It's no use if you're not convinced. Our physiological structure dictates that women will always be the weaker sex." Wang Ba shook his head, his words filled with disappointment. He thought to himself, "If only you were a man."

With that, he kicked Duan Xinlan, sending her flying backward and landing squarely in front of Jian Shaoxin. All three women collapsed to the ground. The worst off was Yong Fan. As a mage, he was physically weak. He was first silenced by magic, then poisoned and fell into a coma, and then Duan Xinlan pressed down on him, almost suffocating him.

"Master, put down your black robe and let me see if you're handsome and fair-skinned." Wang Ba curled his lips, considering himself refined, and stroked his mustache.

What kind of awful dialogue is this?!

Russell sighed, lamenting the strangeness of the world. Three defenseless beauties went unnoticed, while he, a grown man, was at risk of losing his virginity.

He had no choice but to confront them, but since they were stronger than him, he had to resort to cheating!

He didn't need to use the Supergirl Character Card right away; he'd only use it if he was really outmatched. He still had three people to choose from in his lottery draw: Yong Fan, Duan Xinlan, and Wang Ba.

With the Mana Deprivation Field in place, Yong Fan will be the first to be eliminated, unless he draws Blade Storm. Duan Xinlan was beaten to the point of vomiting blood. Although there were elements of a sneak attack and her teammates dragging her down, she would probably only be evenly matched in her prime. Only Wang Ba's lottery draw is left for her.

"System, activate Wang Ba's two lottery draws!"

After the notification sound, Russell received two cards, but did not draw the Character Card he wanted most.

[Skill Card: Three Parts Return to One Qi (Three Parts Return to One Qi, seven-part depends on hard work, and the remaining ninety-part depends on fate)]

[Item Card: Blood Bodhi x1 (Highly nutritious, nourishes Yin and improves complexion, tonifies kidneys and replenishes Qi)]

Russell: "..."

The items are good, but they're useless now. The two draws only revealed that Wang Ba is a gay version of Xiong Ba from the movie "Storm Xiong Ba," and the rest can be ignored.

"Damn system, it's messing things up again at this crucial moment. Forget about Character Card, even a five-minute internal energy card would be nice. The Three Parts Return to One Qi is a decent internal skill, but the Skill Card is used up in one move. What use can it be?"

Left with no other choice, Russell had to open Duan Xinlan's lottery twice more. Just before giving the order, he suddenly realized that if it was Character Card with internal energy, he actually had one.

"Mage, stop being so coy and pretentious. You won't be able to pull off anything in this Mana Deprivation Field. Take off your hat honestly, or I won't be so gentle when it comes to taking action." Wang Ba chuckled and rubbed his hands together twice.

"System, equip 'Character Card: Su Chahar Can'!"

[Host equipped with 'Character Card: Su Chahar Can', countdown 300 seconds, start time.]
