Chapter 27: King of Assassins 3

From somewhere underground, a disheveled figure emerged.

To escape the chase, Yang Dongfang had dragged his disciple up the septic tank pipes for several hundred meters. Finally, unable to bear it any longer, they broke through the surface.

He didn’t care if tomorrow’s headlines would read, “Mysterious Old Man Digs Up Septic Tank Pipes, Turns Out to Be Stealing Sh*t?” He dragged his disciple and jumped into a pond.

After scrubbing themselves almost raw, Yang Dongfang climbed ashore to check on Lin Ming’s condition.

After a thorough examination, Yang Dongfang felt heavy-hearted.

Lin Ming was already severely injured, and after swimming for so long, at some point, he had drowned…no, more precisely, he had drowned in sh*t…

The only good news was that most of the poison in his body had been absorbed. Other than his eyes, which were completely ruined, the rest of his body was not in immediate danger.

However, Yang Dongfang was now in a bit of a dilemma.

Lin Ming’s body was too weak to handle violent methods of inducing vomiting. The only way to save him now was artificial respiration…

But Lin Ming hadn’t just swallowed water, he had… (tln : swallowing shit, yeah… the hell author really bully this lin ming)

Yang Dongfang hesitated for a moment, then licked his lips and made up his mind.

“Damn it, I’ve tasted worse. To save my disciple, let’s do this!”

Yang Dongfang took a deep breath, bent over, pinched Lin Ming’s nose, pried open his mouth, and started blowing air in. (tln : bye lin ming first kiss)

Maybe he was used to it, but Yang Dongfang didn’t find the smell from Lin Ming’s mouth unbearable.

Finally, after more than ten minutes, Lin Ming slowly came to.

Unable to see, Yang Dongfang led him to a small inn.

As soon as they entered.

The innkeeper was shocked, forgetting even the principle of “harmony brings wealth,” and pinched his nose.

“Damn, that smell, did you guys go butterfly swimming in a septic tank?!”

Hitting a sore spot, Yang Dongfang’s face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he slapped the counter hard.

“One room, and go buy us two sets of clothes! Quick!”

Seeing the cracked solid wood counter, the innkeeper was too scared to speak, nodding repeatedly.

But he still didn’t let go of his pinched nose.

While waiting for the innkeeper to bring the clothes, Yang Dongfang wore a grim expression.

He still didn’t know the identity of his enemy.

Today, he had just been released from detention and, on a whim, decided to instruct Lin Ming in some gun techniques, using weapons he had smuggled in.

To impress his disciple, he even brought along two grenades for show.

When he went to the school entrance to pick up Lin Ming, he saw his disciple chasing a luxury car like a gust of wind, brazenly running after it.

Curious, he secretly followed.

Which led to a series of unexpected events.

After giving Lin Ming some water to restore his strength, Lin Ming finally began to summarize what had happened.

Yang Dongfang finally understood the enemy’s identity and the sequence of events.

“The richest man in S City?”

“Having money isn’t hard to deal with, but that Hua Jin expert…”

“Disciple, we need to run away tonight!”

“Fortunately, I know a place that can heal your eyes. We’ll hide there for a while!”

Hearing that his eyes could be healed, Lin Ming immediately agreed.

He didn’t expect his master to avenge him immediately.

From the still smelly but clean clothes and the occasional taste in his mouth, Lin Ming knew his master was also in a sorry state.

He used to think the title “King of Assassins” meant his master was invincible!

Never thought he’d suffer…such a huge loss.

A few minutes later, the innkeeper finally brought the clothes.

Ordinary clothes, but to the master and disciple, they were treasures.

They took a bath and changed.

Then, Yang Dongfang took Lin Ming and jumped out the window, leaving behind two sets of truly eye-watering clothes as payment for the innkeeper.

***

While Lin Ming and his master were fleeing S City overnight in a black car.

In the Wang family villa.

Though not splashed by the disgusting liquid, Wang Haoran still took Luoluo to the bathroom for a thorough wash.

After coming out.

He first anonymously sent Yang Dongfang’s information to the authorities, then filed a formal report about being kidnapped by someone claiming to be the “King of Assassins.”

Sure enough, late at night, a few special agents arrived at the villa with the police to take Wang Haoran’s statement.

After hours of negotiation and evidence gathering, the officials finally left.

As expected, the authorities issued a wanted notice for Lin Ming and his master, but to avoid alerting them, the notices were not made public, only circulated among internal personnel.

After everyone left, Wang Haoran began to relax.

In the bedroom, Luoluo hugged Wang Haoran’s arm, softly asking.

“Haoran, Lin Ming escaped. What do you plan to do now?”

“Of course, I’ll go after him! You should know where he’s headed, right?”

“I do!” Luoluo nodded, then changed the topic, “I remember Ling’er is also there, right? Haoran, are you going to see her?”

“Yes, I want to check on her.”

Having spent several lifetimes together, Wang Haoran had developed feelings for a few of the heroines. Although not love, it was a mix of admiration, affection, and a bit of protective instinct.

So, Wang Haoran wanted them to have better lives.

In the original storyline, most heroines had smooth lives.

The only reason they got targeted by villains was due to two main reasons: first, enemies of Lin Ming tried to capture them to threaten him; second, their goddess-like aura attracted the jealousy of villainous rich second-generation heirs.

Without Lin Ming, their family backgrounds and abilities would ensure a good life, so Wang Haoran didn’t plan to forcefully change their lives.

But Ning Xueluo, Yun Ling’er, and Wang Yuxiao were different.

Ning Xueluo entered the story severely injured and pursued, but now she was a thousand miles away and safe, no worries there.

Yun Ling’er, on the other hand, had concocted a crazy plan to complete her Love Gu.

Wang Haoran didn’t want her to just give herself away like that; he wanted her to pursue love not bound by the Love Gu.

But failing to complete the Love Gu would put Yun Ling’er’s life at risk, so Wang Haoran didn’t know what to do.

He could only secretly hope for the system’s help.

Good system, I’m counting on you! Next time, give me something to solve the side effects of the Love Gu!

[At this moment, a not-so-smart system was thinking:

The host wants the system to help solve Yun Ling’er’s Love Gu side effects! Let me think…solving the Love Gu problem requires dual cultivation…so the host should just do it, right?

Hmm…no, the host must have deeper reasons for saying that…what could it be…

Oh, I get it! The host is worried Yun Ling’er might be unwilling!

The system knows what to do! Next time the host draws a prize, I’ll give him that kind of medicine. The host will be pleasantly surprised and praise the system!]
