Can be played with?

Han Xing was all smiles under the headcloth. He assumed Tang Ling to be a man of the same pedigree and he swore he would tighten their relationship.

With that in mind, while his eyes were glued to Ro Xin, he answered, “Yeah, she can be played with.”

Tang Ling chuckled when he heard the answer, and without a second thought, his kick landed on Han Xing’s butt.

Tang Ling’s strength of eight bulls was halfway through being thoroughly merged, so his strength was by no means weak. Furthermore, Han Xing was caught off-guard, thus the sucker kick sent the little pervert flying.

The people around the drugstore head a painful cry before they say a corrupt figure with a headcloth flying out and crashing into the wall of the Ancient Path Drugstore. He then slid off the wall like a fly that had just been swatted.

Be it the people outside the drugstore or the customers inside, when they saw Han Xing sliding off the wall, they could not help but laugh at him. They believed he was a perverted thief who had been caught red-handed.

The little commotion caught Ro Xin’s attention, so she looked outside in between her work.

She saw a slightly slim teenager with black hair and was no longer a shorty standing outside the drugstore. Even though he was wearing a strange donkey-faced cloth on his face, his eyes were overflowing with delight. Coupled with the familiar figure, Ro Xin recognized the teenager at first glance.

Her lips curled up into a smile and it slowly widened. She cried out in surprise and ran out the drugstore in joy, even leaving the patient that she was treating behind in confusion.

Han Xing had stars swirling above his head as he had a hard time figuring out what had happened and why Tang Ling would have kicked him in the butt. When he got back on his feet, he drew his sword from his back without a second thought and bellowed, “Let’s duel!”

Great! Since I can’t find a reason to make you practice swordplay with me, I won’t let this chance slip!

Tang Ling gave Han Xing the cold shoulder, and in the next moment, Han Xing saw the perfect woman dash out from the drugstore with a breeze in her trail, running towards Tang Ling. Then, she excitedly grabbed Tang Ling’s arm.

Han Xing blinked several times in confusion.

What the hell is this? Is Tang Ling that handsome? I’m more handsome than him, yet why are all the beautiful women passionately flocking to him like moths to a flame? First the queen and now this perfect woman?!

Does Tang Ling wear some secret scent on him that will enchant women? No way! Even if I have to give up my life, I must make him share the secret with me! But first, I must use this chance to get close to that perfect woman!

With all his perverted thoughts in mind, Han Xing shamelessly cried in pain and blurted, “Little Tang Tang, my head is dizzy! Come help me up,”

He then dashed towards Tang Ling like a gale. His plan was to pretend to lose his balance and fall towards Tang Ling. In the process of falling, he would conveniently hug the perfect woman in his arms.

Who would have thought that when Han Xing was halfway there, a buff figure would sprint out of the drugstore and knock him away while grumbling and muttering gibberish? The buff figure also ran towards Tang Ling, ignoring the latter’s terrified look, and hugged him tightly in his arms.

“Ro Li! I am warning you! Get your big, rocky hands off me! Do you really think you are a loli?!” Tang Ling was pressed tightly into Ro Li’s arms while the heavy stench of the huge guy’s sweat almost suffocated him.

Ro Li’s broad and muscular chest almost flattened Tang Ling’s nose when he pressed his face against his chest, making Tang Ling irate.

As for Han Xing, he held his sword in the middle of the street absent-mindedly. A breeze blew and he suddenly felt pity for himself.

What was Tang Ling’s secret? Not only did women threw themselves at him but even men? The side effect of the secret was a little too heavy for Han Xing to take though. After all, he did not want to be hugged by a buff hunk at all.

…

At the Ancient Path Drugstore.

In the parlor that was decorated in a classic antique style, the only thing that stood out from the harmonious interior design was the giant monitor hanging on the wall. The monitor was showing a fierce match in the master division ring area.

In front of the monitor was an old man whose hair was white and long as if he had undergone hair straightening treatment from the old civilization. His eyes were glued to the screen.

The old man’s attire was meticulously thought through. His loose, wide robe was sewn using superior quality material, so it looked silky smooth and intricate. It seemed like he was trying to go for a sage-like air.

However, as the match continued on the screen, he cursed furiously and vulgarities spewed out from his mouth.

“You piece of sh*t useless prick, what the f*ck are you fighting?

“Happy now? Go back and wank your useless d*ck!

“F*cking hell! Did your whole family die or what? Sh*t! Aren’t you afraid of dragons?!”

Other than furiously spouting vulgarities, he would guffaw loudly and voice his mind brazenly.

“That’s right! Grab’em by the p*ssy! F*ck him in the a**!

“What a tough f*cker! You are really f*cking tough. The one giving the beating has the face of a dying mother while the one getting beaten up looks like his mother is dying!”

As he got even more excited, the old man’s disgusting habit made him lift his leg and smell it. He grabbed some bishop noses from the plate beside him, tossed them into his mouth and munched on them happily, filling his mouth with oil. He would also slurp some alcohol from his glass from time to time.

Tang Ling’s eyes were fixed on that plate of chicken butts. It was the best kind of chicken in the Purple Moon era—the black-boned penta-yellow chicken! It was countless times tastier than a jumping chicken’s butt!

Never look down on bishop noses. Only those who did not know how to enjoy it would despise its taste and appeal.

Even though the old man was noisy and Tang Ling could not understand some of his gibberish and vulgarities, he knew that he was speaking Huaxianese and it should be an ancient dialect. Nonetheless, it did not stop Tang Ling from resonating with the old man because of the food.

A drop of sweat was hanging off the tip of Ro Xin’s nose while she was pouring Tang Ling and Han Xing some tea. Han Xing stared at her with a dumb look.

Ro Xin was overjoyed because she did not expect Tang Ling to come to her so quickly. She really wanted to hug him when she had seen him outside the drugstore, but there were many people around and she was still a girl. Because she felt shy, all she did was conservatively hold his arm.

“Have some. This is a prescription that I learned from my master. Besides lowering the body heat when boiled with tea, it also refreshes one’s mind.” Ro Xin also sat down after she served the tea to the two of them.

Ro Li, on the other hand, had already finished his second bowl of tea. He was furiously glaring at Han Xing. Why does this little prick keep looking at my sister? He’s even more disgusting than Tang Ling…

Tang Ling picked up the cup and took a sip. The aroma of the tea blossomed in his mouth and the aftertaste was bittersweet. It also had a slight natural scent of herbs mixed in it, presenting a harmonious taste. The taste was not one that would be widely accepted, but after a sip, his body felt peaceful and relaxed.

“Not bad,” Tang Ling praised. He could not help but look asquint at the old man eating the chicken butt as he admired the old man’s capability.

From the moment they came into the parlor, Ro Xin had already introduced the old man as her master. He was the owner of the Ancient Path Drugstore, Gu Dao.

Gu Dao? Is he related to Boss Huang since the boss’s name is Huang Dao? Or maybe the people in Darkness Port like to use Dao as part of their names?

It was not appropriate for Tang Ling to get to the bottom of it because Ro Xin had told them to ignore her master’s presence. Her master had a strange temper and not everyone could get along with him.

He was really strange! From the moment Tang Ling and Han Xing came in, Gu Dao did not ask anything. Even after Ro Xin introduced them to one another, Gu Dao did not respond. He was so captivated by the match on the screen.

However, after Tang Ling took a sip of tea and wanted to say something, Gu Dao suddenly turned to them and fixed his gaze on him. “The boy made me lose money yesterday. Ro Xin, that’s enough tea for him.”

Pfft! Ro Li was on his third bowl of tea, and when he heard what Gu Dao said, tea spewed from his mouth. He purposely turned to Han Xing at the last moment and sprayed him wet.

Han Xing was beaming widely. Neither did he care nor did he want to care! He finally knew that Tang Ling had no secret scent or whatsoever. The brother and sister were just his friends.

Now, I’ll get the chance to get close to Ro Xin. Life is great. If I can woo Ro Xin, the other women are no longer important anymore, not even Lucy, Lili, Jasmine, Atsuko, and Cuihua back in Holy Tree. None of them will matter anymore.

Tang Ling felt nervous immediately. What else could Gu Dao possibly mean? The old arena fanatic must have watched the match yesterday and wagered his money on it.

This is going to be awkward, giving a bad impression to Ro Xin’s master on my first visit.

“You don’t need to care about what he says.” Ro Xin did not seem afraid of her master at all. Instead, she smiled at Tang Ling. Before he could respond, she continued, “Tang Ling, I know you are living in Dvesha Moha now, and the man who took you away that day is Boss Huang,”

“Huh? You know that much?” Tang Ling raised a surprised brow.

“Of course, the master is all-knowing.” Before Ro Xin could answer, Ro Li interrupted the conversation and then looked at Gu Dao with a flattering smile, even though the old man did not respond.

Ignoring her brother, Ro Xin continued, “Boss Huang means you no harm. Since you are able to live in Dvesha Moha, that’s a great chance for you. You must get ahold of it,”

Tang Ling grunted in acknowledgment. He was no idiot, and he knew better than anyone what the benefits of working under Boss Huang were. With that in mind, he suddenly thought of something very important. He asked Ro Xin, “You, I mean…does Boss Gu charge you when he tells you things?”

“Huh? Why does he have to charge me?” Ro Xin blinked several times, baffled by his question.

“Er…it’s nothing, nothing at all…” Tang Ling clenched his teeth tightly. I knew it! Boss Huang is a horrible person! Though comparisons are odious…

Ro Xin found Tang Ling’s expression funny. She hesitated for a while and bit her lower lip. As a matter of fact, she had heard a lot of things from her master lately, including things about Darkness Port and Tang Ling. She had many questions and warnings for him, but she did not know where to start.

“Just speak your mind,” Tang Ling said. He knew Ro Xin well since he and the siblings had gone through life and death together. Based on her expression, he knew something was bothering her.

As Ro Xin took a deep breath, she decided to talk about other things first. She asked him, “What do you think about that opportunity in Darkness Port?”

“The opportunity? I only know it’s in May next year. That’s all I know.” Tang Ling had no idea why Ro Xin would want to talk about that.

Then, Han Xing, who had been watching Ro Xin like a pervert, suddenly spoke up, “Bro, I realize you are really behind on a lot of things. If you don’t know anything about the opportunity in Darkness Port, why are you here? Don’t tell me that you are here for a vacation, are you?”
