The commotion quickly attracted the attention of others. A scarred man, who was clearly of higher status, rushed over to help. Upon seeing Jiang Yuan and Ning Yanlan's faces, he became enraged and slapped the man in the suit across the face, shouting, "Are you blind? Do these two gentlemen need invitations?"
"But boss..."
"Get out there and greet them!" The scarred man was clearly trying to save the man in the suit. After getting rid of him, he quickly turned to Jiang Yuan and Ning Yanlan with a forced smile and said, "Sorry, gentlemen, this is a new underling who doesn't know the rules!"
"Hmph, there's no use keeping someone like that around. I might as well kill him and absorb some of his life force!" Ning Yanlan said with a smile, but the smile was extremely creepy in the eyes of the scarred man.
The scarred man said with a fawning smile, "Lord Bai Sha is joking. There's only one person. We can just slaughter some pigs tonight and that will be enough!"
"Don't waste your time. We still have to kill people tonight. If you delay us, you'll have to suffer!" Ning Yanlan's expression suddenly turned cold.
The scarred man's heart tightened, and he quickly led the two to the venue. He thought to himself, "Everyone says that the Black and White Duo are unpredictable, and seeing them today, it's clear that the rumors are true. They're simply freaks!"
Jiang Yuan and Ning Yanlan entered the venue. The entire underground casino had the style of a bar, with dim lighting and occasional swaying shadows giving it a strange feel.
"Gentlemen, please have some drinks first, the party will begin soon!" The scarred man led the two to the place and left immediately, afraid that Ning Yanlan would throw another tantrum.
"Honey, it seems like we've never gone out for a drink together in all this time!" Ning Yanlan said seductively, placing her hand on Jiang Yuan's shoulder.
"I've had it, but you're too forgetful!" Jiang Yuan whispered coldly in her ear.
Ning Yanlan snapped her fingers toward the bar and smiled at the handsome bartender, "A Bloody Mary, no tomato juice, please!"
The bartender, who also possessed the cultivation of the Void Spirit Realm, could tell from the strength of the two people in front of him that they were important figures. Without any hesitation, he quickly handed over a nearly transparent Bloody Mary.
Ning Yanlan extended her index finger and then gently ran her fingernail across her palm. Blood dripped along the lines of her palm into the highly concentrated liquor, exactly ten drops.
"Are you stupid? I need your blood to refine pills, why did you put them in my wine!" Jiang Yuan shouted through telepathy.
"Alright, then this drink is on me!" Ning Yanlan said without any hesitation.
"I'm finding you to be getting more and more neurotic!"
Jiang Yuan silently picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp. The four flavors of spiciness, sweetness, sourness, and bitterness burst forth instantly and swirled in his throat. A force even began to slowly invade his body.
"Aren't you afraid I'll poison you?" Ning Yanlan asked Jiang Yuan tenderly, resting her chin on her hand.
"I wish you would just poison me to death, so I wouldn't have to be tormented by you, you lunatic, all the time!" Jiang Yuan slammed his wine glass down on the table.
Ning Yanlan nodded noncommittally, then pushed the glass in front of the bartender and said, "Give me a glass of cold water. Someone who loves me to death is petty and won't let me drink!"
"You're overthinking it. Even if you drink yourself to death, I won't care!"
After saying that, Jiang Yuan said, "Change her wine, the stronger the better!"
He increasingly felt that Ning Yanlan was shameless. No wonder she could pretend to be affectionate with him for so long. Her talent for being shameless was probably maxed out.
"Look over there, a large number of forces have already started to enter!" Ning Yanlan didn't care whether she was drinking alcohol or water, and while drinking, she scanned the bar with her eyes.
Jiang Yuan was also keeping a close eye on the surrounding forces, so he wasn't surprised. It wasn't time to close the net yet, otherwise he wouldn't have the time to deal with all of these hundreds of forces if he alerted them.
"Drink your wine!" Jiang Yuan reached out and turned Ning Yanlan's head back. Otherwise, with her habit of looking around and spying on others, she really thought that no one could notice.
Moreover, Jiang Yuan strongly suspected that Ning Yanlan was doing it on purpose, because Ning Yanlan was happy to see the humans in the South City killing each other to speed up the process of the blood sacrifice source, so he had to be on guard.
...
Inside an altar
"The holy blood is running low again!"
"This number three is really courting death. First she stole the Soul of Mending Heaven, and now she's recklessly stealing Holy Blood. Does she really think the battlefield has nothing to do with her anymore?"
"So what do we do now?"
"Yamaga Island in the Western Hemisphere, which was chosen as the source tail, has been destroyed. Now, only the South City remains as the sole source. If we interfere with Number Three now, it will inevitably affect Number Three!"
“But every drop of holy blood used is precious; won’t her actions affect you?”
"It's alright. Number Three simply wants to subtly change the physique of the Battle Soul holder through the Holy Blood, making him more compatible with the Heaven-Mending Soul! However, this girl overlooked one point: even if the Heaven-Mending Soul is activated, the Battle Soul holder will only be barely clinging to life. Retrieving the Heaven-Mending Soul and Holy Blood is only a matter of time! Moreover, since the Source Tail has ended prematurely, the Source will also welcome the Demon Lord sooner. Number Three doesn't have much time left!"
