The bodyguard who was beaten by Gao Xuan earlier, Wang Biao, immediately blocked Gao Xuan. Taller by a head, he appeared imposing standing in front of Gao Xuan.

Gao Xuan found the sight amusing, "Try touching me and you’ll be kicked out of the Qi Family immediately."

His smug demeanor infuriated Wang Biao.

Wang Biao’s eyes turned red, his whole body trembling. Yet, he still didn’t dare to make a move.

"I enjoy seeing you wanting to kill me but unable to do anything about it."

Gao Xuan poked Wang Biao’s chest with his finger, "Little darling, don’t block the way."

Even more enraged, Wang Biao trembled harder, but Gao Xuan, chuckling, simply bypassed him and strolled away.

It wasn’t until Gao Xuan had exited the main gate that Wang Biao muttered venomously, "I’m going to kill him."

Another bodyguard, with a cold expression, said, "Good thing you held back. If you caused a scene and got fired, the boss would definitely peel your skin off."

Wang Biao couldn’t help asking, "How much longer until we can make a move?"

"That’s not for us to know. We’re just responsible for keeping an eye on him."

The other bodyguard said, "But it should be soon. Don’t worry, the first target is Li Yan. When that kid falls into our hands, we’ll hack him into eight pieces!"

Gao Xuan walked quickly, not hearing the conversation behind him.

It wasn’t that he wasn’t careful, it’s just that the two of them were at too low a level to pose any threat. He didn’t have the leisure to care about what two bugs were muttering.

After a busy night yesterday, for him, it was a genuine relaxation. From the physical to the spiritual level, he experienced a release and rest.

Over this month or more, he continuously ate and strengthened his body. His Divine Soul’s spirit was powerful, so he naturally didn’t care about these things.

But for the body itself, it was continuously being strengthened and advancing every day.

An individual life is essentially in a state of super-high-speed progression. Moreover, there’s no rest. For this body, it was a kind of overload beyond its limits.

Until he shared tender moments with Qi Yan, the instinct of individual life reproduction got released, entering a whole new state.

It’s like fine steel tempered a hundred times in the flames, quenched once in water, becoming wholly different.

Gao Xuan sensed this wonderful state, hurried back to his room, and lay on the bed to observe the changes in his body.

The energy from the beef he ate last night had already been completely absorbed by his body, and his flesh, muscles, and bones were refined to the limit.

Even his organs and blood evolved again.

As long as his head wasn’t smashed into smithereens, Gao Xuan could rapidly regenerate. Once he reached the Blood-Born God level, even a shattered head wouldn’t prevent him from coming back to life.

But that step would still take time.

Gao Xuan casually picked up an iron dumbbell from under the bed. With a casual pinch, the dumbbell’s small round head oozed through his fingers, like mud.

He picked up the bedsheet and swiped a fingernail across it, creating a straight slit, as if cut by a knife.

Gao Xuan was quite satisfied with this; after all, this was just an ordinary world. Even top Martial Dao masters would find it hard to crush iron like it was mud.

In terms of destructive power, he had already reached the utmost limit of this world. Yet for himself, there was still much potential to be tapped.

Reaching this point, Gao Xuan was unfettered in the world. But he had no particular place to go. His bodily strengthening was incomplete, so he stayed with the Qi Family for the time being.

In the following days, Qi Yan treated Gao Xuan the same on the surface, but at night, she often invited him over to ’learn positions.’

The Qi Family wasn’t that big, and Gao Xuan was frequently in and out of Qi Yan’s room. Others weren’t dumb. The news spread quickly.

Secretly, everyone despised Gao Xuan, but outwardly, they were more respectful. Even Elder Housekeeper Li treated him with more courtesy.

The room was rearranged, providing him better accommodations and even a raise in salary.

Gao Xuan felt the old man’s smile was insidious and malicious, but he didn’t care.

No matter the old man’s tricks, Gao Xuan could easily defeat him with one mighty hand.

Children were simpler; Li Yan had no clue about Gao Xuan’s unusual relationship with her mother.

She only felt closer to Gao Xuan each day from sitting in his car. After all, Gao Xuan was handsome, neat, and would occasionally amuse her.

On Friday, after school, Gao Xuan picked up Li Yan and Qi Fei, and drove onto the road.

Because it was the weekend, traffic was heavy on the main road. Gao Xuan decided to take another route. Though it was a bit farther, it had far less traffic.

Halfway, he encountered a crane blocking the road ahead, seemingly doing construction.

Gao Xuan sensed something was amiss when two cars suddenly pulled alongside, trapping his car in the middle of the road.

Qi Fei, sensing something wrong, said anxiously, "Brother Gao, something seems amiss."

"Call for help."

Gao Xuan remained calm, his composure affecting Qi Fei, who hurriedly took out her phone, only to discover there was no signal.

"No signal, Brother Gao?" Qi Fei asked, worried.

Just as Gao Xuan was about to reply, he felt something was wrong. The crane had already lowered a big claw, tightly gripping the car.

With that, the car was hoisted up, the sudden change scaring Li Yan into loud cries. Though she was young, she knew things were bad.

The crane swung, depositing the car into a large truck container. A net covered the container, and it quickly began moving forward.

Gao Xuan turned off the engine and told Li Yan and Qi Fei, "Don’t panic, someone’s just playing hide and seek with us."

Li Yan, with a forlorn expression, said, "Uncle Gao, I’m scared."

"Don’t be scared...."

Gao Xuan reassured her, "Actually, it’s them who should be scared."

Qi Fei, pale-faced, was speechless.

After about an hour of driving, they heard a clamor outside, and the container doors opened.

Gao Xuan stepped out and saw a group of more than thirty people, all armed with knives, and a few had long and short guns.

Each one looked fierce and murderous.

The leader had a purple-red scar on his face, like a giant centipede lying there, appearing grotesque and terrifying.

Though Gao Xuan hadn’t seen this man before, he had heard of him—the Red Knife Gang leader, Scar. Despite the rustic name, his methods were extremely ruthless.

Among the group, Gao Xuan even spotted Wang Biao. Apparently, he was with the Red Knife Gang.

Qi Fei took one look through the rear window and was too scared to look again.

Gao Xuan opened the rear car door and asked Qi Fei, "You’re seventeen this year, right?"

Qi Fei, frightened and unsure of Gao Xuan’s intentions, replied in a quivering voice, "I’m twenty-one."

"No, you’re seventeen."

Gao Xuan said as he pressed a spot on Li Yan’s neck, causing her to faint.

Qi Fei was even more terrified, and Gao Xuan pressed the same place on her neck, making her faint as well.

Gao Xuan closed and locked the car door, sighed, and said, "What happens next is too bloody, forbidden for those under eighteen to watch. I’m doing this for your own good..."
