Peerless Little Immortal Doctor

Within the Divine Sense, Xilu and her companion had already collapsed on the sofa.

Guo Man was barely staying upright, her face flushed red.

Like someone who was drunk.

But Xia Liu knew, Guo Man would never get drunk in front of Liang Chao.

She had been poisoned.

And it was an exceptionally cruel poison, especially for women.

Opposite the sofa, Liang Chao crossed his legs and watched the scene before him with leisurely amusement.

"Liang Chao! You're shameless! Despicable!"

Guo Man gritted her teeth, her anger palpable in her words.

She could never have imagined that this contemptible man, Liang Chao, would tamper with the air itself.

The agreed-upon meeting place had been a Huaxia-style restaurant on the tenth floor of the hotel.

But this bastard had changed it at the last minute.

Guo Man had agreed to go with him because Liang Chao hadn't brought any bodyguards.

And Guo Man had brought both Xilu and Xima. Who could have foreseen this?

At first, there was nothing unusual.

But it wasn't long before Xima and Xilu suddenly fainted for no apparent reason.

Guo Man began to feel dizzy, her head foggy, and her body growing hot.

She knew she had been poisoned, and it was the kind of poison specifically designed to target women.

It must have started when she entered this room, the poisonous gas silently invading her windpipe, gradually taking effect over time.

As for Xima and Xilu, they were knocked out instantly.

"Manman, you know, ever since high school I've liked you. I've confessed my feelings to you more than a hundred times—why won't you give me even a single look?"

Liang Chao swirled the stemmed wine glass in his hand, its faint fragrance wafting out.

Yet compared to Guo Man's natural scent, he preferred the aroma on her body.

"If you dare do anything to me, I promise you'll regret it!"

Guo Man shook her head, her words fighting their way out with difficulty. Yet her hatred for Liang Chao momentarily suppressed the poison within her.

"Stop resisting. This poison was purchased from a highly-skilled Poison Master in Thailand. The more you fight, the faster its effects spread throughout your limbs. Even those two with high-strength physiques were knocked out instantly. You'd best give up—it's your only chance to 'enjoy' what's about to happen as you transition from girl to woman."

"Liang Chao, you'd better kill me now. If I recover, it'll be the end for you!"

"Oh, I'm so scared, so terrified! I'm going to die, oh no, I'm going to die!"

Liang Chao grasped his neck, pretending to enact a suffocating scene.

"Hahaha! Kill me? How could you bear to? I'll always be your first man. Honestly, I should thank you for not getting yourself a boyfriend overseas. Hahaha!"

Liang Chao's laughter was maniacal, his gaze growing increasingly crazed.

He quickly drained the wine from his glass, his drool threatening to spill otherwise.

"Shameless scum!"

"Xia Liu… If only you were here today, maybe I'd be safe…"

As she cursed Liang Chao, the thought of that name suddenly ignited a flicker of hope within Guo Man.

But the hope was short-lived.

Her vision began to blur.

Then, inexplicably, she found herself unable to control her arms.

Rip!

The sharp sound of tearing filled the air.

"Hahaha! Perfect! I love seeing you like this—you'll definitely be unforgettable later!"

Seeing Guo Man losing control, Liang Chao's laughter grew louder, his eyes radiating malice...

"Am I interrupting?"

Suddenly, a questioning voice emerged from behind the partition.

Before Liang Chao could react, an unexpected figure appeared in his line of sight.

"It's you!"

The moment he saw the person, Liang Chao let out a sharp cry. He would never forget him—the man standing before him was the one who had single-handedly taken down an elite group of retired special forces soldiers that he'd hired at great expense from a security firm.

That was more than ten retired special forces operatives!

It spoke volumes about this man's overwhelming strength, far beyond anything imaginable. Perhaps only Martial Artists trained in cultivation could possibly match him.

"Surprised? The type of person I despise most is someone like you, resorting to such dirty tricks. It's pathetic!"

Seeing Guo Man's condition with his own eyes, Xia Liu sneered mercilessly.

"Tsk tsk, pathetic or not, I've pursued her for years. If I don't even dare to commit a crime for her, what's the point of saying I love her?"

Liang Chao stared at Xia Liu like a deranged man, his eyes unwavering.

"You're beyond redemption. If everyone were like you, the world would descend into chaos. I'll give you one chance—leave here on your own."

Xia Liu didn't want to reveal too much in front of Guo Man.

While this moment presented an opportunity, killing Liang Chao might force his powers to come to light—a heavy loss for him.

"Of course I'll leave, but first, you must pay the price!"

As Liang Chao's ominous voice fell, he drew a black handgun from behind his back.

"Come on! Shoot me! Let's see if your hands are faster than my gun!"

Holding the weapon, Liang Chao's confidence surged by leaps and bounds.

Sure, Xia Liu was formidable, but could he be mightier than a firearm?

"Hahaha! Say something—what's wrong? Afraid now?"

Xia Liu stayed silent, his gaze serious.

With his current physique, no bullet could truly harm him.

But Guo Man's dazed eyes worried him; he wasn't sure if she was still conscious.

Revealing his powers in front of her would undo everything he'd worked for so far.

He found himself torn.

If the poison had already reached Guo Man's liver, she might truly have lost consciousness.

If he killed Liang Chao now, she would never know.

Nevertheless, there are no second chances in missions.

After a moment's silence, Xia Liu decided to deploy his Divine Sense, leaving his body motionless. He would crush Liang Chao's mind using the Power of Divine Consciousness.

Although Liang Chao was a mere mortal, taking this route would still require Xia Liu to pay a price. But in this moment, he couldn't afford to consider such matters.

Just as he was about to use the Power of Divine Consciousness, a number of figures appeared within his Divine Sense.

"Liang Chao, are you trying to kill me?"

Xia Liu stopped everything, his voice soft yet probing.

"You must die, but not now. Before that, I want you to witness something—a live demonstration."

Liang Chao, gun firmly pointed at Xia Liu, backed slowly toward the sofa.

By now, Guo Man had torn off her outer clothing, leaving only a thin, white undershirt.

Her eyes were even more unfocused than before, as if she could no longer see what lay ahead.

"Such a pity—I'm afraid I won't stick around for your demonstration."

"What do you mean?"

Liang Chao's voice trembled, his hand holding the gun wavering.

"What I mean is…"

BANG!

Before Xia Liu finished speaking, a loud sound echoed through the room.

THUD.

Liang Chao's gun dropped to the floor.

"AH!!! MY HAND! MY HAND!"

His piercing screams reverberated through the suite.

Seizing the chance, Xia Liu moved swiftly toward the sofa. Then…
