Seventeen cards, can you kill me in an instant?

Under the dim yellow streetlights, amidst the inky shadows of the trees, several men in black were squatting silently.

A few birds flew across the deep blue sky, their destination unknown.

Su Xuan slowly walked out of the training grounds, carefully sensing the energy particles circulating within his body.

He murmured in a rather pleased, low voice, ‘I feel like I can awaken my Initial Form very soon.’

‘Although it’s a bit tiring, it was all worth it.’

Compared to the first time he stepped out of the suppressor, his body wasn’t as fatigued this time; perhaps he had built up a resistance after doing it so much.

Just as he came out, a figure approached him.

Needless to say, it was that guy Gao Chong again.

He jogged over to Su Xuan enthusiastically, his eyes filled with longing.

Su Xuan had no intention of dealing with this s*x-crazed fool.

His face was deathly pale, the very picture of overindulgence; who knew what he’d been doing at night these past few days, and it was highly likely…

At the thought of it, Su Xuan’s face flushed crimson.

He looked with dissatisfaction at the ugly clown who thought he was so handsome.

Seeing Su Xuan’s angry little face, Gao Chong instantly grew nervous and stammered, “Uh… Su Xuan~, I really don’t have any ill intentions.”

Seeing his bewildered look, for some reason, one thought after another suddenly rose in Su Xuan’s mind, and these thoughts truly gave him a fright.

He hastily repented in his heart:

‘You can’t do this, Su Xuan, you’re a man!’

‘How can you toy with another man!’

The uneasy Gao Chong, standing to the side, had no idea that he had just narrowly escaped a disaster.

Having collected himself, Su Xuan gave Gao Chong a faint glance, as cold and indifferent as an ice mountain beauty.

Gao Chong watched the beauty slowly walk away, sniffing the milky-sweet fragrance lingering in the air.

A look of satisfaction appeared on his face, and his legs unconsciously began to follow behind Su Xuan, like the most hopeless addict, unable to leave the scent of Su Xuan.

The sun had long set, and there were few people on the remote street.

Gao Chong was like a perverted stalker, following step by step behind Su Xuan.

Su Xuan, who was hurrying forward, seemed to sense something.

He quickly turned his head and saw Gao Chong following him with that infatuated look.

As a nameless rage flared up, a strange sense of satisfaction simultaneously welled within him.

The pleasure of wrapping a man around his little finger seemed like a delicious dessert; though not essential sustenance, it was a rare delicacy in life.

Su Xuan was conflicted, both wanting to obtain more of this satisfaction and feeling disgusted by his own perverse thoughts.

This internal struggle was invisible to outsiders.

In Gao Chong’s eyes, there was only an exquisitely beautiful woman with a slightly wronged and somewhat angry expression, looking at him helplessly with her beautiful, autumn-wave-like eyes.

Su Xuan’s female instincts and male rationality clashed once again.

Though there was no smoke of gunpowder, it was not to be underestimated.

Su Xuan felt terrible.

The intertwining of desire and reason left him in a dilemma.

Looking at Gao Chong following him like a dog, feeling the countless desires churning inside him, Su Xuan understood.

He had to get a Black Energy Stone as soon as possible, the sooner the better.

“Hmph~”

Su Xuan shot Gao Chong an angry glare and snorted, but he didn’t tell him to get lost.

Perhaps this was the complexity of human nature; wanting him to go away, yet also hoping he would follow.

Hearing that delicate huff, Gao Chong felt as if his heart was about to melt.

Su Xuan had no idea that his angry snort lacked any masculine sense of authority.

Instead, it sounded like a young girl pouting, making people want to hear it again and again, melting their hearts completely.

How could this make Gao Chong, who had already thrown his pride to the wind, turn back?

He wished he could just pull Su Xuan into his arms right now, make him sob and cry, make him weep娇 Cry repeatedly and delicately.

However, his self-control still held him back.

He just followed slowly behind Su Xuan, admiring his graceful figure and alluring scent.

Feeling the footsteps behind him, Su Xuan suddenly felt that he was being quite perverse right now.

The joy of his training progress was swept away, replaced only by worries for the future.

How much longer would it be before he could get a Black Energy Stone?

In the shadows, several figures in black clothes and masks watched Su Xuan and the person behind him, then looked towards their leader, as if asking for something.

“What the hell are you hesitating for? Grabbing one is a grab, grabbing two is the same. But is this guy called Su Xuan really a man?”

The leader stared at that fairy-like figure, lost in a momentary daze.

But he quickly recovered and said to his team members, “There can be no mistakes in this operation. You must give it one hundred and twenty percent of your focus.”

“Yes!”

“Good, on my command—move!”

Several figures appeared in a flash, surrounding Su Xuan and Gao Chong.

Su Xuan looked nervously at the black-clothed men surrounding him and suddenly recalled the battle from a few days ago: “Cultists?”

“Cult? We are a divine religion! It is only you mortals who misinterpret the will of the gods and call our divine religion a cult.”

One of the men in a black mask said, clearly displeased with Su Xuan’s choice of words.

When Gao Chong heard the word “cult,” he was stunned.

He never imagined that these legendary figures would be so close to him.

Looking at the trembling beauty, a towering rage surged up.

He, Gao Chong, would stand up and protect the beauty!

Gao Chong glared at the black-clothed men and roared, “How dare you running dogs of a heretical cult show your faces! Witness the power of your Grandpa Gao!”

As his voice fell, Gao Chong charged straight at one of the black-clothed men, his huge fist smashing down fiercely.

“Heh!”

“An ant trying to shake a tree, you overestimate yourself!”

The black-clothed man extended a hand from within his black robe, appearing at Gao Chong’s side with a whoosh.

His hand formed a blade and chopped down on Gao Chong’s neck, knocking him out cold on the ground.

Su Xuan understood that he was in a desperate situation.

He frantically called out Su Xuan’er’s name; only if she helped him would he have a chance to escape.

After calling out dozens of times with no response, Su Xuan felt a little desperate: ‘No reaction… Give me some reaction…’

“Smack!”

A sharp pain struck his neck, and his vision went black.

He collapsed, losing consciousness.

“Boss, this chick is a real looker, should we…”

“Don’t even think about it. You know Elder Yao’s temper. If you dare defile a divine sacrifice, he’ll definitely smack you to death.”

“Alright…”

“Let’s go, someone will be here soon!”

“Yeah!”

The black-clothed men dragged Su Xuan and the other person into a van and drove away.

– What… Su Xuan is really missing? Didn’t I tell you to keep a close eye on him?

– Are there any clues… you tracked him to Xilin Garden and then lost him?

Captain Chen sat in his office.

The man he had sent to protect Su Xuan had just reported that Su Xuan was taken.

In order to track them, he hadn’t intervened to rescue him.

He had followed them to Xilin Garden but couldn’t go any deeper.

Xilin Garden, that was White City’s famous villa district.
