"This, this I didn't know..." Little Jason said with concern.
"That's it then. It's not the era of warriors anymore. Being able to fight doesn't amount to anything; it's still not enough against a bullet..." Old Jason said ominously and gravely.
"Dad, I'll go handle it..."
"No need, I'll take care of this..." Old Jason narrowed his eyes, a cold light emanating from them.
The next day, Old Jason appeared in a manor between the mountains, where he was greeted by a Black-Clad Man.
"Jason, what brings you to me today?" The Black-Clad Man and Jason embraced, performing a cheek-to-cheek greeting, but his expression and voice were icy, filled with a murderous aura.
"Burgess, I want you to help me eliminate someone... This person is affecting my vegetable business..."
"Sorry... Jason, this person we dare not touch..."
"What, what?..." Old Jason exclaimed in surprise and anger. "I haven't even told you who this person is... How can you be afraid like this..."
"Those of us in this line of work don't just shoot people, especially assassin organizations like Black Gun Gang. We have professionals who every day research and analyze political figures, celebrities, the underworld, and major financial groups of various countries... So as soon as you mention your biggest competitor, I can guess who it is..."
"Could it be that this Chinese kid has a strong backing..."
"Exactly, isn't this kid called Wang Xiaoqiang? He rose too quickly in the United States and had been on our radar for detailed analysis. Of course, we also conduct some secret investigations. Now, it's clear that his backing is Anderi, the son of Mafia No.1. You must be aware of Boer from the western mega ranch, who fell at his hands..."
"I've heard a bit about that, but surely you aren't that afraid of the Mafia..." Old Jason squinted, looking at Burgess disdainfully.
"Black Gun Gang and the Mafia might differ by only one word, but in nature, they're very different. We're just a small assassin group, while the Mafia is a huge, dark force spanning three countries. You can't twist an arm with a thigh. Besides, that Wang Xiaoqiang, he's kind of eerie..." Burgess said shrugging his shoulders.
"What's so eerie about him?"
"The rancher Boer hired the Rose Organization to assassinate him, and they sent their most professional assassin. Yet, the assassination failed, and he nearly captured him alive... The result was that Boer fell, and his vast ranch changed hands, and the Rose Organization also fell, at least they dare not step into the United States anymore..."
"Shh... Is he really that demonically powerful?"
"We've carefully investigated him. This Chinese kid is only twenty years old, born in the countryside—the very poor kind, like the workers on your farm. Both his parents are farmers. Yet, this kid managed in less than three years to start a farm in the United States, trying to monopolize the American vegetable market. Think about it, how demonically powerful he must be..." Burgess shrugged and spread his hands.
After a long silence, Jason said, "So you are saying that trying to take down this Wang Xiaoqiang, there's no chance of assured success..."
"Not necessarily, you could seek out more skilled characters... like a wizard from Thailand, a ninja from Japan..." Burgess mentioned, then gave a meaningful and cold laugh, "But these people won't be as easy to hire as us, because they don't lack money to spend..."
Upon hearing this, Old Jason fell into deep despondency and helplessness.
When Old Jason returned to the company, Little Jason followed him into the office, "Dad, how did it go, did you manage to contact an assassin..."
Old Jason shook his head, "Sigh, this Wang Xiaoqiang, indeed has significant connections, he's even climbed up with the Mafia, now even assassins dare not touch him, what should we do now..."
"Dad, I have an idea..."
"You, what could you possibly know?..." Old Jason looked at his son disdainfully.
"Dad, I remembered a Thai lady I knew before, this woman is a wizard... She possesses formidable and extraordinary power, I want to ask her to deal with Wang Xiaoqiang, and then we can take him out without anyone noticing..."
"How do you even know a Thai woman, haven't I told you, you are a married man, does your wife Charlie Bess know about this?" Old Jason glared at his son reproachfully.
"Dad, Bessie doesn't know, but with that woman, no, I should say, he isn't a woman, because he, he became a woman only after undergoing gender reassignment surgery..."
"What? A ladyboy?" Old Jason angrily exclaimed, "You're getting more and more reckless, I'm telling you the Jason Family is counting on you in future, you better behave and don't mess around outside..."
"Dad, I really didn't mess around; that Thai woman, uh no, Thai man, I just saved him once, and he said their family are all wizards. If we need help in future, we can contact him..."
"Hmm, if that's the case, then contact him, see if he has a way, and also tell him about Wang Xiaoqiang's background, lest he fails to eradicate the roots and brews a disastrous outcome..." Old Jason said calculatingly.
"I understand, Dad. I'll bring that Thai man here so you can meet him in person..."
"Hmm, that's best..."
Old Jason looked at his son with approval.
...
"Master, why do you have Spiritual Energy inside your body?" one day Little Bai suddenly asked a question that she was very curious about, yet it was somewhat bold.
Wang Xiaoqiang, caressing Little Bai's curvaceous body, felt a chill in his heart upon hearing her question. Hmm? Could it be that Little Bai doesn't know about the Spiritual Spring inside me? That night when she transformed, the sixteen Spiritual Springs launched a fierce attack on her; she should have sensed it, right? Moreover, she's not an ordinary human with mere mortal eyes, so how could she possibly not see it?
"Little Bai, I need to ask you a question, and you must answer me truthfully..." Wang Xiaoqiang spoke gravely, his hand tightening on Little Bai's body.
"Ah..." Under the pain, Little Bai also tensed up, "Master, Little Bai has nothing to hide from you, I will tell you everything...
"Hmm, Little Bai, you can sense the Spiritual Energy in my body, so do you know where it comes from?"
"Master, I'm not quite sure about that. With my Spiritual Power, I simply can't penetrate your body, but generally speaking, it should come from the Dantian, just like those cultivators who practice Gathering Qi in their Dantian..." Little Bai replied earnestly.
Wang Xiaoqiang was moved by her words. Eh? Little Bai really doesn't know about the Spiritual Spring within me? How is that possible? Could it be that only I can see this Spiritual Spring?
To verify this fact, Wang Xiaoqiang activated his willpower, and all sixteen Spiritual Springs were summoned outside his body; in the night, the sixteen Spiritual Springs radiated five-colored brilliance, a dazzling and spectacular sight.
"Little Bai, sense again, do I still have Spiritual Energy inside me?" Wang Xiaoqiang said.
Little Bai seriously sensed for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise, "Eh, Master, you, you don't have Spiritual Energy inside you anymore. Could it be, Master, that you have dispersed your power...?"
Little Bai stared at Wang Xiaoqiang in amazement.
At that moment, the sixteen Spiritual Springs were surrounding Wang Xiaoqiang's body, shining brilliantly. If Little Bai could see or sense them, she would have shown a look of amazement, and she wouldn't have said such a thing. Clearly, she could neither see nor sense them.
That meant Little Bai could only sense the Spiritual Energy in his body, but not the Five Elements Spiritual Spring.
This Five Elements Spiritual Spring, how miraculous!
"Master, shall we continue?" Little Bai said expectantly.
Wang Xiaoqiang retracted the sixteen Spiritual Springs back into his body... "Little darling, have you tasted sweetness recently? Your Spiritual Power must have grown a lot, right...?"
"Yes! Indeed, Master, my Spiritual Power has indeed seen significant growth recently... all thanks to your immense love..." Little Bai lovingly pressed her stunning face against Wang Xiaoqiang's chest.
"Hey, Little Bai, how do you usually cultivate?"
"I have a set of Demon Cultivation Techniques, but now they are of no use since I have shed my Demon Nature and become a Spiritual Body. So, I've been trying to use the Breathing Techniques I learned before to absorb nature's spiritual energy. Unfortunately, up to now, I haven't been able to draw spiritual energy into my body, but I have been absorbing a lot of your Spiritual Energy, Master..."
"By the way, Little Bai, do you think there really are cultivators in this world?" Wang Xiaoqiang asked curiously.
"Of course, the Great Thousand Worlds are full of wonders. Think about it, Master, creatures like me, uh, no, I mean, Spiritual Bodies like me exist, so certainly there must be cultivators. In fact, the reason I was fortunate enough to meet you was because of a confrontation with a cultivator who injured me, and by a stroke of fate, I met you on Great Green Mountain..."
"Then, Little Bai, can I cultivate?" Wang Xiaoqiang asked curiously.
"Master, there's no need for you to do that. Now is the End of Dharma Era, spiritual energy is scarce, and cultivation is extremely difficult. Moreover, the Spiritual Energy in your body is even more majestic than that of a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage. And your Spiritual Energy can autonomously sense Demon Creatures and defend itself, even attack... This...this is an incredibly heaven-defying existence..."
"Er, is that so," Wang Xiaoqiang felt a sense of superiority upon hearing this, and his interest in cultivation grew. While teasing Little Bai's body, he continued to ask:
"Little Bai, do these cultivators continue to fight then...?"
"Yes," Little Bai bit her red lips, suppressing the stirring inside her, "Because the natural spiritual energy is scarce, those cultivators go everywhere to find Spirit Grass as a substitute. Sometimes they fight fiercely over a single Spirit Grass, and killing for treasure happens frequently. However, ordinary humans with mere mortal eyes, sometimes even if they encounter such events, don't understand them. Of course, some malicious cultivators often come to kill Demon Species to refine Pills, my former kind were all killed by cultivators. It's fortunate that I met you, Master, avoiding being killed... That's why I can stay by your side, with your help shed my Demon Nature, become a Spiritual Body, receive your protection, and even absorb the Spiritual Energy in your body, Little Bai is so happy, Little Bai loves Master to death..."
"Little Bai, don't just talk, practice a bit, won't you?" Wang Xiaoqiang slapped her plump buttocks.
Ah~
Little Bai, with eyes like silk, immediately obediently got down; she knew the posture her Master liked. (To be continued.
