Newly arrived women would probably be frightened upon seeing this scene.
Zhao Shuning did her best to show a look of fear.
Sure enough, when the man saw this.
He gave a wink to the servant beside him.
The servant immediately brought over a cup of tea.
"Come, don't be afraid. Have some tea first to calm your nerves. Soon, you'll be able to go back."
Zhao Shuning took the tea.
The smell of low - grade hallucinogenic powder lingered around her nose.
They really thought she was a naive girl, using such a low - level thing to deal with her.
She took a sip gently but used her spiritual power to expel all the tea through her fingertips.
Seeing Zhao Shuning finish the tea, the man showed a satisfied smile on his face.
"Beauty, come here. Come to me."
Looking at that face, Zhao Shuning felt nauseous. But the man's strength was not low, and she hadn't figured out the purpose of coming here yet. It was not suitable to act rashly, so she could only walk over slowly.
Under the effect of the hallucinogenic powder, a woman would be like a puppet and would tell everything she knew. She would have her own consciousness in her body but couldn't resist the orders of the poisoner.
Moreover, after the woman woke up, she would forget everything that had happened before.
Master He said, "Which family's girl are you? I've never seen such a beautiful woman like you before. How about I talk to your parents and get you a good job? From now on, you can work in my mansion like them."
What kind of job?
Dirty work?
Zhao Shuning smiled slowly.
"Master, the people in the town have invited an alchemist to deal with you. Aren't you afraid?"
"Afraid? There's no such word as 'afraid' for me. A mere alchemist can't even get past the outermost defense, let alone the protective miasma I've set up outside the ancestral hall."
Zhao Shuning walked forward.
Master He asked, "What else do you know?"
"That alchemist said he would expose your true face."
"True face? Just those small fries?"
After saying that, the man burst into laughter.
Zhao Shuning casually asked, "Aren't you afraid they'll find out what you've done?"
"Little girl, come here quickly. Don't say such useless words. Let me tell you, I change places every three years. When I get tired of the women here, I'll look for the next town. The people in the town are easy to deceive. As long as I use a little trick, they'll obediently give me what I want."
Zhao Shuning thought the people in the town were a bit ignorant.
But it was due to the environment.
Master He had made quite good progress in spiritual power cultivation, but he used his spiritual power to do such despicable things. He had almost ruined the reputation of alchemists.
However, this Master He was an impatient man. Before Zhao Shuning even revealed her identity, he had already exposed his own schemes.
"Beauty, come here."
Master He waved.
Zhao Shuning was already very close.
The man stretched out his rather chubby hands, trying to grab Zhao Shuning into his arms.
Zhao Shuning dodged lightly.
Perfectly avoiding the man's vulgar hands.
Master He let out a lecherous laugh. Seeing Zhao Shuning beside him, he was about to make a move.
But before the man's hand could touch Zhao Shuning.
A cold dagger was pressed against his neck.
For a moment, everyone in the hot spring fell silent.
Zhao Shuning waved her other hand gently, and some powder scattered from the air. The women were stunned.
Soon.
First, they showed a confused expression. Then, seeing the clothes they were wearing, they let out a scream, quickly covered their chests, and fled the hot spring in a hurry.
Master He also panicked for a moment.
He tried to break free from Zhao Shuning's restraint, but Zhao Shuning took a step forward.
The sharp dagger immediately left a bloodstain on the man's neck.
Seeing this situation, the woman showed no panic at all but looked at Master He with great interest.
"Who are you?"
"I told you, the people in the town have invited an alchemist to deal with you."
"Is it you? Do you have a name?" A weak girl, lucky enough to have a bit of spiritual power and accidentally barged into this hot spring.
Master He didn't take the girl in front of him seriously.
Before the girl could answer.
Master He paused for a moment and then disappeared from the hot spring.
The women on the shore couldn't help but scream at this sight.
Zhao Shuning just smiled sweetly.
She immediately soared into the air. Her right hand tightly grabbed into the air. In an instant, Master He's figure appeared in mid - air.
Finally.
This time, Zhao Shuning saw panic in Master He's eyes.
The consequence of underestimating the enemy was just like this.
Master He's body suddenly fell from mid - air. In just one second, his body smashed hard onto the floor. The fine granite was actually deeply dented by him.
At this time, Zhao Shuning was squatting beside the dent.
She gently pushed aside the stray hairs in front of her forehead with her jade finger.
"I really thought you were some great master. To be able to set up such a powerful barrier, you should at least be almost an eighth - rank alchemist. But now it seems that you may not even be a sixth - rank one."
Before, Zhao Shuning had been very cautious. She had disguised herself as an unmarried tea - serving girl and tried to get information from him.
If she had known that the man in front of her was so useless, she wouldn't have wasted her acting skills. She would have beaten him to the ground from the start.
However, it was obvious that Master He in front of her couldn't create such a powerful barrier, which meant there must be a bigger mastermind behind him.
"Cough, cough, cough—"
After a cloud of dust, the man raised his head.
His chest heaved violently.
"Girl, let's talk things over."
Talk things over?
Zhao Shuning moved her joints. The next moment, chaos broke out again at the scene. This time, the chaos lasted for about a quarter of an hour.
A quarter of an hour later.
When the women saw the situation clearly, they were all shocked.
Just a moment ago, the man's body had suddenly aged rapidly and turned into a "celestial - like" appearance. However, his face and body were now swollen and red.
Moreover, Master He was now tied up tightly to the pillar in the hall.
Now, if you didn't look carefully, you probably couldn't recognize his original appearance.
Seeing the man's whole body swollen like a pig's head, Zhao Shuning showed a chilling smile on her lips.
The next moment, she formed a magic seal with her hands, which transformed into a sharp sword made of corpses.
The sword was now pointed at Master He.
"Girl, spare my life! Senior, spare my life!"
The man let out a loud cry.
Zhao Shuning immediately changed the direction of the sword. The tip of the sword pointed backward, and the handle pointed forward.
"Thud!"
The man let out a muffled groan, and his face instantly turned red.
Then, Zhao Shuning quickly took out the Qiankun bag from her waist.
Countless infant spirits began to float out of Master He's mouth.
