Then Shen Lang stood up, walked to Li Mingfang, and looked down at him as if he were an ant from half a meter away, saying, "A piece of trash like you who has no humanity is no longer qualified to do business with me."
After saying that, Shen Lang walked straight out of the private room.
Winter snow followed closely behind.
Li Mingfang's wailing echoed in the private room: "Boss Shen, please, Boss Shen..."
Upon reaching the door, Shen Lang said to the security personnel guarding the entrance, "Cripple his limbs and cut off his tongue."
"Yes, Brother Lang," the security guard replied respectfully.
The two security guards then exchanged a glance and went into the private room.
Shen Lang was practically a kingpin at the mAx bar; everyone who worked there knew him. Therefore, his orders carried more weight there than He Yongze's.
As he walked to the bar entrance, Shen Lang still felt a lingering sense of unease in his chest.
"Little guy, do you think what I did was right or wrong?" Recalling what happened to Li Mingfang, Shen Lang looked at the sky and instantly fell into confusion.
"If I hadn't given him that 700,000, would he still have wavered in his determination to save his wife because of money?"
"Would that allow his wife to live a little longer?"
The little sprite flew out, a bit larger than when she was level one. She sat on Shen Lang's shoulder, her pale face showing an unusual seriousness, her brows slightly furrowed.
Aside from the little elf and Shen Lang, no one else knew what had happened. Even the guard Dong Xue couldn't understand Shen Lang's sudden change.
At this moment, Zhao Wuji appeared beside Shen Lang in spirit form and asked, "Young Shen, what happened that makes you look so worried?"
Seeing Shen Lang's helpless expression, Zhao Wuji's curiosity was instantly piqued.
Although the two had just met, Shen Lang gave him the impression of being someone who would remain calm even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him.
Even when faced with the imposing aura of a former emperor, he remained completely unmoved.
Shen Lang did not hide Li Mingfang's actions from Zhao Wuji and told him everything.
After listening, Zhao Wuji remained silent for a while, then patted Shen Lang's shoulder with his illusory hand, comforting him: "Young Shen, you did nothing wrong. Although your starting point was to make a deal with him to gain benefits, the purpose of the deal for the other party was to obtain money."
"But he failed the test of humanity."
At this point, Zhao Wuji sighed, "Let alone an ordinary couple blinded by worldly concerns, even I, who once possessed half of the Xuan Tian Realm, was betrayed by my closest relatives."
"Kid, take it easy."
"This is just the secular world. Once you step into the cultivation world, you will find that there is no humanity to speak of."
At this point, Zhao Wuji's eyes suddenly deepened, and his tone carried a hint of apprehension: "That's a place where anyone would sell out everything for profit."
After a moment of contemplation, Shen Lang suddenly chuckled and said, "That's right, why should I think so much? I'm just a businessman; what do other people's lives and deaths have to do with me?"
At this moment, Shen Lang felt as if something unimportant was missing from his heart.
The little sprite gave Shen Lang a complicated look, then fell silent and returned to the system.
Dongxue remained expressionless behind Shen Lang, her gaze fixed on the man before her.
Back in the car, Shen Lang sat in the driver's seat and left the mAx bar.
On the way, Shen Lang suddenly asked Dongxue, "Xiaoxue, do you want to know about your background?"
The snow that had been surrounding the boundary suddenly froze, and her body trembled slightly. However, she quickly recovered.
“Young master, I think,” Dongxue said, keeping a watchful eye on her surroundings.
Shen Lang parked the car not far from the University of Science and Technology of China, rolled down the window, and lit a cigarette.
He slowly opened his mouth and said, "Then I will tell you."
Dongxue looked at Shen Lang with anticipation.
"Twenty-eight years ago, you were born in a mountain village in Beihe Province. You were the fourth daughter in your family. Your three older sisters were not boys, so your parents sent them away for adoption."
"You were no exception. Before you were even a month old, your parents sent you to be adopted by a family in Beihe Province who were relatively well-off."
"When that family took you home to hold a full moon celebration for you, the Second Elder of the Yu family, who was traveling, discovered you. So, through a transaction involving money, your master brought you back to the Yu family."
After finishing his cigarette, Shen Lang tossed the butt out the car window: "I probably don't need to say more about what happened next."
After listening, Dongxue nodded, and the expectant and excited look in her eyes suddenly became calm.
"Thank you for informing me, young master."
"Would you like to go home and visit?" Shen Lang asked.
Dongxue shook her head and said calmly, "No need, young master. Since they have sent me away, Dongxue naturally has nothing to do with them anymore."
"For me now, home is wherever you are, young master."
Shen Lang didn't stand on ceremony and nodded. He then handed the Marrow Cleansing Pill that he had redeemed from the system that morning to Dong Xue: "This is a divine-level Marrow Cleansing Pill. After taking it, it can enhance your physique and talent. As for how much it can enhance, it depends entirely on your perseverance."
"You'll be following me to farther places in the future; this talent isn't enough for you."
Looking at the pill, about the size of a longan and radiating a magical aura, Dongxue's usually calm face showed surprise for the first time. She asked in a daze, "Young Master, is this the pill that can open up all the meridians in the body?"
Shen Lang nodded: "Go ahead."
Dongxue shook her head and hurriedly said, "Young master, I am unworthy of such a treasure. It would be better if Miss and Shuang'er took it first."
Shen Lang tossed the Divine Marrow Cleansing Pill into her arms speechlessly, saying, "You should worry more about yourself. Those two are both freaks, they have no need for this stuff at all."
One possesses the Nine-Aperture Exquisite Sword Heart, and the other the Nine Yin Profound Body—both are innate cultivation saintly bodies. The Marrow Cleansing Pill is completely superfluous for Yu Xian'er and her servant Shuang'er. Even if they took it, it wouldn't improve their talents.
Dongxue carefully picked up the Marrow Cleansing Pill, treating it like a rare treasure, and put it away with utmost care.
"Let's find some time to eat it. Don't hide it. All four of you sisters will have some in the future, including Qin Shiya."
The Four Seasons Sisters are both considered to have exceptional martial arts talent, but only in the ancient martial arts. Ancient martial arts and immortal cultivation are completely different things, so their talents cannot be compared.
Qin Shiya is an ordinary person with absolutely no talent, but now that she has become Shen Lang's woman, he naturally won't abandon her.
However, thinking about the trading currency needed to exchange for the Marrow Cleansing Pill in the future, Shen Lang's head swelled up slightly.
"Keep it up, young man."
