It was late at night.
All the lights in the inn were off.
Tian Boguang knew the time was ripe.
With his light-footed skills, he could appear silently outside Shangguan Hongyu's room without being noticed.
Shangguan Hongyu is highly skilled in martial arts; a direct confrontation would inevitably alert Bian Lang next door.
Tian Boguang chose to use sleeping powder.
With just a breath of air blown into the room, Shangguan Hongyu could be quietly carried away.
When Shangguan Hongyu woke up, the raw rice had already been cooked.
Tian Boguang licked his fingers, gently poked a hole in the window paper, took out a bamboo tube, and was about to blow the sleeping gas into the room when suddenly a hand landed on his shoulder, startling him so much that he almost screamed.
"Brother Tian, come over and have a chat?" Bian Lang said in a low voice.
Tian Boguang tried to shake off Bian Lang's hand, but found that he couldn't muster any internal strength.
Bian Lang is indeed a master.
Although it proved that his judgment of people was not bad, he was not happy at all.
Upon entering Bian Lang's room next door, Bian Lang pressed Tian Boguang down to sit and asked with a smile, "Want some tea?"
"No need, thank you." Tian Boguang dared not drink Bian Lang's tea.
If Bian Lang had poisoned his tea, he wouldn't even know how he died.
Bian Lang felt that Tian Boguang was actually a very interesting person, but his interestingness could not cover up the crimes he had committed.
Even if one were to defile a virgin, being beheaded would not be an exaggeration.
"Master Bian, what...what would you like to talk about?" Tian Boguang asked in a trembling voice.
When Bian Lang grabbed his shoulder just now, he knew that ten Tian Boguangs couldn't beat one Bian Lang.
Bian Lang smiled and said, "Since Brother Tian knows me, I'll get straight to the point. I'd like to discuss a business deal with you."
"What kind of business?" Tian Boguang asked, his face full of surprise.
Bian Lang is a corpse driver, and he's a flower thief. What kind of business can they discuss?
But after hearing what Bian Lang said next, Tian Boguang was dumbfounded, and felt that Bian Lang was truly a genius in business.
This flower-picking party was organized by Tian Boguang, and all the flower thieves trusted him. If Tian Boguang wanted to, he could definitely catch all the flower thieves who came to Luoyang City in one fell swoop.
The government announced that a lecherous thief would be paid 1,000 taels of silver, which, if split 50/50, would indeed be a considerable income.
If Tian Boguang really did that, he could forget about ever making a living in the martial arts world again.
“Master Bian, I am but a common man. Why don’t you just consider me a fart and let me go?” Tian Boguang said with a chuckle.
Bian Lang said, "This is a big deal that could earn several thousand taels of silver. Brother Tian, don't you really want to give it a good consideration?"
"Although I am a womanizer, I am also a man of honor and loyalty. I betrayed..." Tian Boguang puffed out his chest, trying to show off his heroic spirit.
With a creak, Shangguan Hongyu entered, sword in hand, and said in a cold voice, "Then prepare to die."
Tian Boguang reacted quickly, shifting his position to hide behind Bian Lang, and exclaimed, "I've long heard that Lord Shangguan is the most beautiful woman in the martial world. To see her tonight has truly made me unbearably hot..."
"I'll kill you!" Shangguan Hongyu leaped forward and drew her sword, each strike grazing past Bian Lang's body.
Tian Boguang possessed superb lightness skills; with every step and twist of his body, he could always evade the Red Rain Sword.
Bian Lang suddenly grabbed Tian Boguang and forced him to sit down, while also advising Shangguan Hongyu not to act impulsively.
Killing Tian Boguang alone is far less effective than eliminating all the womanizers in Luoyang.
“Great Hero Bian, I know I am no match for you. You may kill me or torture me as you please, but I would never betray my friends.” Tian Boguang held his head high, displaying a rather heroic air.
Bian Lang said, "I won't kill you, I'll just take one of your sticks."
“Master Bian, this is absolutely unacceptable.” Tian Boguang stood up abruptly.
Although Shangguan Hongyu blushed, she also felt that what Bian Lang said was indeed a more cruel punishment for Tian Boguang.
Bian Lang smiled and said, "Making money or becoming a eunuch, Brother Tian, please make a decision quickly."
Shangguan Hongyu found it amusing, thinking that either of the two choices Bian Lang gave Tian Boguang would ruin his reputation and make it impossible for him to gain a foothold in the martial arts world.
"Master Bian, is there a third way?" Tian Boguang asked with a grin.
Bian Lang said, "Yes, first we'll strip you naked, parade you through the streets, and then subject you to the torture of the wooden donkey."
Tian Boguang could endure being paraded naked through the streets, but wasn't the wooden donkey torture a punishment reserved for women?
But looking at Bian Lang's lewd smile, Tian Boguang knew that men could also ride the wooden donkey, and the pain would be even doubled.
“A real man stands between heaven and earth, how can he be penniless? I choose the first path.” Tian Boguang’s choice was very wise.
Shangguan Hongyu was thinking, Tian Boguang had harmed too many innocent women, and his sins could not be atoned even if he died a hundred times. Just because he helped get rid of those lecherous thieves, could he be let off the hook?
Bian Lang is currently negotiating business with Tian Boguang. Shangguan Hongyu thinks that once this matter is settled, she can kill Tian Boguang.
Bian Lang took out a pill from his chest, handed it to Tian Boguang, and smiled, "Brother Tian, please."
“This is…” Tian Boguang knew it must be poison.
In order to save his life, he took it and swallowed it in one gulp, saying, "Hero Bian, remember to give me the antidote after you're done."
"I only have one antidote left for the Three Corpse Brain God Pill. Brother Tian, take care of yourself." Bian Lang patted Tian Boguang's shoulder with a look of pity.
Three Corpse Brain God Pill?
Not to mention Tian Boguang, even Shangguan Hongyu felt their scalp tingle upon hearing this.
"Don't worry, Master Bian, I'll take care of this right away." Tian Boguang dashed out of the inn.
Time is life.
"Brother Bian, what you gave Tian Boguang was really..." Shangguan Hongyu's face was slightly pale.
Bian Lang laughed and said, "I have plenty of these on me." He then reached into his clothes, rubbed them vigorously a few times, and took out another pill.
Shangguan Hongyu blushed, finally realizing where Bian Lang's Three Corpse Brain God Pill came from, and scolded, "Brother Bian, how long has it been since you took a bath?"
Bian Lang smiled and said, "It'll probably only be a few decades."
"I'll prepare bathwater for you tomorrow night." Shangguan Hongyu left, blushing.
Bian Lang opened the window; the moon was bright and the stars were few, the night air alluring.
Tonight, Luoyang is destined to be extraordinary.
After leaving the inn, Tian Boguang went to collect heads.
To survive, betraying a dozen or so like-minded people is nothing.
All the butterflies, all the little poisonous creatures, etc., were killed by Tian Boguang with a single slash when they were completely unprepared.
After working all night, only the nine-tailed fox spirit Lu Suzhen remained.
After being rebuffed at Bianlang, Lu Suzhen came to the home of a wealthy merchant.
The wealthy merchant had a son who, though sickly, was very handsome.
Lu Suzhen possesses a miraculous medicine that can briefly restore the sickly young master's former glory.
After enjoying herself, Lu Suzhen felt quite tired and didn't rush to leave. She went to sleep in the sick young master's room.
Tian Boguang sneaked in silently, used sleeping powder, and successfully took Lu Suzhen away.
