The man was wearing a tracksuit, but his face was covered by a mask and a knitted cap, so his appearance could not be seen. But Liu Yun knew who he was from his bloated right sleeve.
"Who are you?" Liu Yun's eyes turned cold, and under the quilt, she made a secret hand gesture with her right hand, alertly saying, "Look carefully, I'm not the person you're looking for."
The man did not speak, but took off the mask on his face, revealing a face covered with tattoos.
It was Huanglong.
"...It's you?" Liu Yun recognized the man immediately. That day on the Yari Company's starship, he had left a deep impression on her.
This man is a ruthless killer... Liu Yun sat up carefully, ready to escape at any time.
It is true that she is recuperating, but there are still many means she can use.
"I don't want to fight." Huang Long found a chair and sat down without explaining anything.
Liu Yun looked at him sitting on the chair, still on guard.
"Then what are you doing here?"
"..." Huang Long was silent for a long time, not knowing whether he was choosing words or thinking, "How did you recover your cultivation?"
Liu Yun was stunned. She didn't expect Huang Long to be so direct.
Could it be that he is actually a tongue-tied person who is not good at communication?
"Fellow Daoist Huang is really a straightforward person. Do you think I have to answer just because you asked?" Liu Yun's face was full of sarcasm.
Huang Long didn't say anything, but suddenly raised his right hand, rolled up his long sleeves, revealing his iron arm under his clothes.
Before he could say anything, Liu Yun was startled and jumped off the bed to the window, almost jumping out.
"What do you want to do?" She forced herself to calm down.
Huang Long is silent, like a madman, and it is really difficult to communicate with him.
"If you don't tell me, I'll kill you. The initiative is in my hands."
“…” Liu Yun took a deep breath. She also had her own way to deal with this kind of person.
"Fellow Daoist Huanglong, why are you so anxious? I didn't say I wouldn't give it to you." Liu Yun changed her posture, and her voice became more charming. "Although I don't know what happened to your hand, if you think you can easily capture me just because I'm seriously injured, you're completely wrong. I may not be able to beat you in a fight, but if I jump out the window now, you may not be able to catch up with me."
"..." Huang Long shook his mechanical arm, as if weighing the opponent's strength.
"We are both poor people from Fengyuan. It's fate that we met here. Why bother resorting to violence and damaging the relationship? How about we make a deal?"
Liu Yun's movements became bolder, and she even moved closer to Huang Long.
"What deal?" Huang Long still looked calm and composed, not shaken by Liu Yun's flattery.
"You need my method to recover my cultivation, and I need the power behind you. It's the best of both worlds, so why not?"
"Power?" Huang Long shook his head. "You don't know the power I belong to. I don't have that much power."
"Fellow Daoist Huang, don't be so hasty to refuse. Don't look at me as I am now. I also have a lot of connections in Yali Company. Fellow Daoist Huanglong has great ambitions and will naturally not be inferior to others for long. You don't have much power now, but what about in one, two, or ten years?"
"On Lingyuan Star, I can still assist you. Once Brother Huang's cultivation recovers, how can those foolish celestial beings catch up with you?"
Huang Long still didn't say anything, with a cold expression on his face.
"There is no enmity between us. Peace will benefit both sides, while conflict will hurt both sides. I hope Brother Huang can think it over carefully." Liu Yun was eloquent and persuasive.
"If you think I'm going too far, then why don't we make some immediate deals first to build mutual trust." Liu Yun changed the subject and said, "To be honest, Brother Huang, I was able to recover my cultivation entirely thanks to the family's martial arts. However, this martial arts is divided into three volumes: upper, middle, and lower. The three volumes complement each other and are indispensable. If you can do me a small favor first, I will give you the upper volume. How about that?"
Huang Long thought for a long time and finally made up his mind: "What favor do you need? Just tell me."
"Help me kill someone."

After Chu Yao had taken care of all the affairs within the gang, he tiptoed towards the Beishan Mine.
Before leaving, she even went to the pharmaceutical factory. Seeing that the development of the formulas was going smoothly, she stopped worrying and handed over all subsequent tasks to others.
Although she had nothing in her hands, her storage bag was full.
In addition to the various guns and ammunition she had taken out from the Maowei Gang's inventory, there were also the furnace she used to make alchemy and bundles of materials.
Although all previous attempts have failed, we have to try again. What if the feng shui in Tianhai City is bad?
If she could refine some pills similar to the Spirit Refining Pill, it would be a great help to her in recovering her cultivation.
Apart from these things, there were only some miscellaneous items left. For example, some spare clothes, some glow sticks, and boxes of power banks...
The smart phones manufactured by Tianren Technology are good in every way except that they consume power too quickly and need to be charged every day, which annoys Chu Yao a lot.
She even tried to use lightning magic to directly "charge her phone" in her room, but she failed to control the power and turned her phone into a bomb.
In the dark mine, Chu Yao turned into a black shadow and walked towards the depths.
In fact, this was her third time here, and she was familiar with everything.
"What a strong smell of blood... Has the blood energy from those spider corpses I killed last time still dissipated?"
She passed the hall where she had fought the spider swarm before, looked at the mess on the floor, and stuck out her tongue. Just as she was about to go deeper, a flash of inspiration suddenly struck her mind, and she realized something was amiss.
Chu Yao turned around and began to count the spider corpses on the ground.
One, two, three... sixteen, seventeen...
After counting them once, Chu Yao's face turned ugly.
She clearly remembered that she had killed at least thirty spiders, and including the big one, that would have been thirty-one.
In order to escape, she used a risky move and finally killed them with an explosion.
Although these spiders could not withstand the fire, their skin and flesh were still very firm. Even if they were burned out of "spider shape", she could still count them from their corpses. Otherwise, she would not be so clear about the number of spider legs.
Where did the remaining thirteen spider corpses go?
Has anyone been here?
Chu Yao took out the lightsaber from his storage bag, held it for a moment, and then slowly reached deeper into the cave.
Soon she arrived at the place where she had fought the giant spider before, but the corpse had become different——
More than half of the giant spider's body had disappeared, and judging by the tooth marks remaining on its flesh, it must have been bitten by something.
Tsk, that scared me. Looks like I didn't clean it thoroughly last time?
As if in response to Chu Yao's inner thoughts, a series of "tramp" sounds came from the depths of the cave.
