"Let him in!"
The Bai Family Head took a few deep breaths, trying to calm his inner turmoil.
According to his daughter, the man's strength was unfathomable, and his morality was ambiguous, so caution was necessary.
Xu Sanyan stepped into the Bai residence, glancing around. The layout was similar to the Ma residence, with little to no changes.
Following the servant's lead, he arrived at the main hall, where a middle-aged man sat in the seat of honor. Dressed in a black robe with a stern, jujube-like face, he exuded authority.
On one side of the room, Bai Qingyu sat on a chair, blinking her eyes as she stared at him, appearing somewhat naive.
The Bai Family Head put on a smile and stood up to greet him, "I am Bai Shi'an. It's an honor to meet you, young hero. My daughter is deeply grateful for your rescue."
Xu Sanyan chuckled and sat down beside Bai Qingyu, waving his hand casually, "No need to thank me. It was just a transaction. Didn't she tell you?"
Bai Shi'an was momentarily stunned. Was this something that could be said so openly?
Bai Qingyu's cheeks flushed red, and she tucked her neck into her collar like a quail, burying her face in her clothes.
Bai Shi'an quickly adjusted his expression, pretending not to have heard, and naturally changed the subject, "My daughter mentioned that you could cure her chronic illness?"
Xu Sanyan nodded, reached over, and took Bai Qingyu's teacup, drinking it all in one go.
Bai Qingyu glanced sideways, her head sinking even deeper.
Seeing his daughter's lack of composure, Bai Shi'an felt a surge of frustration. He sighed inwardly and carefully asked, "May I ask what it would take for you to help her? I am willing to spare no expense, even if it means exhausting our family's wealth."
Bai Qingyu secretly looked up, studying Xu Sanyan's profile, her heart filled with shyness.
Ever since they parted yesterday, she couldn't help but recall Xu Sanyan's image in her mind.
His cold and aloof face, his tall and slender figure, the untamed aura hidden deep within his bones, and the variety of playful methods he employed...
All of it deeply attracted her, offering a thrill she had never experienced before.
If he were willing...
Bai Qingyu's cheeks grew even redder, as if she had thought of something too embarrassing to speak of.
Xu Sanyan tilted his head slightly, wondering why she kept stealing glances at him.
Could it be... resentment?
Because he had taken her innocence, did she harbor murderous intentions toward him?
But her expression didn't seem to suggest that.
He couldn't figure it out.
Xu Sanyan shook his head, no longer looking at her, and turned to Bai Shi'an, "Heh, it's simple. Prepare a carriage for her to accompany me back to Taian City. Send someone to pick her up in five days."
It just so happened that the journey back would be quite lonely. Another transaction wouldn't hurt.
The carriage would be slow, taking about six or seven days to return to Taian City. By then, he would probably be tired of playing with her, but the trip would be filled with fun. The cost was just a bit of spiritual power.
Bai Shi'an frowned. How could he not understand Xu Sanyan's implication? Anger surged within him. Even if you are powerful, you cannot humiliate our Bai family like this!
Just as Bai Shi'an was about to reprimand him sharply, a soft, almost inaudible voice spoke up, "Father... I... am willing."
Bai Qingyu covered her face with her hands, her heart filled with indescribable emotions, unsure if it was excitement or shyness.
Xu Sanyan raised an eyebrow. Oh, not done yet?
Who would have thought this delicate little girl had such a strong addiction? Playing with contrasts?
Bai Shi'an took a deep breath, staring at his daughter in disbelief, unsure of how to feel at that moment.
Was this still his gentle and obedient daughter?
He couldn't understand, but he was deeply shaken. After furrowing his brows and pondering for a long time, he finally decided to respect his daughter's wishes.
Her illness simply couldn't be delayed any longer. If it wasn't treated this time, there might never be another chance.
"Someone, prepare the carriage!"
Bai Shi'an shouted, then turned and strode away without looking back. He didn't want to stay here a moment longer, feeling utterly out of place with the two people inside the room.
Xu Sanyan naturally took her small hand and played with it, while simultaneously sending a stream of Spiritual Power into her body, instantly unblocking her meridians.
Bai Qingyu suddenly raised her head, unable to suppress a soft moan, "Mmm... ah..."
The sensation was simply too pleasurable, as if a thousand-pound weight had been lifted from her body, leaving her feeling incredibly relieved.
Xu Sanyan then wrapped her lungs and internal organs with his Spiritual Power, slowly nourishing them. Bai Qingyu's cheeks flushed red, and she began to breathe heavily.
A moment later, the carriage was ready. The two of them boarded it, and Xu Sanyan waved to Bai Shi'an, "Don't forget to come pick up your daughter."
Bai Shi'an's expression darkened, and he turned away without a word.
...
On the vast, desolate Gobi Desert, a carriage pressed forward against the wind and sand. From inside, intense sounds of passion echoed, accompanied by rapid, barely suppressed breaths. Just from the sounds, it was clear what they were doing.
Xu Sanyan let out a satisfied sigh. This woman was full of contradictions—outwardly, she appeared demure and obedient, but in reality, she was exceptionally open.
There was a deeply ingrained seductiveness in her bones. Before, when she was plagued by illness, it hadn't been noticeable, but now that her ailments were gone, her true nature was laid bare.
Especially when they were alone in this vast wilderness, she didn't hold back at all.
"Alright, stop working so hard. Take a break," Xu Sanyan patted her rounded buttocks.
"Oh..."
Bai Qingyu silently wiped the corner of her mouth.
...
Seven days later, Taian City was within sight. Xu Sanyan brought her back to the Wu residence.
He then called for Big Yellow Tooth, "Go and summon Zhu Yong and Xuan Hong."
"Yes, sir," Big Yellow Tooth didn't dare to delay, stealing a glance at Bai Qingyu before hurrying off.
Soon, County Magistrate Zhu Yong and the leader of the White Horse Gang, Xuan Hong, arrived in haste. The three of them sat down, and Xu Sanyan smiled, "It's been a while. How have you two been?"
Zhu Yong beamed, "Thanks to Fourth Master's blessings, everything is well."
Xuan Hong also quickly chimed in with a smile.
Xu Sanyan nodded, "I called you here to help me with something."
"Just say the word. Whether it's climbing mountains or crossing seas, we'll do whatever you ask," the two of them thumped their chests in assurance.
When Xu Sanyan had left, he had already broken through to the Celestial Being Realm, and the two of them knew better than to offend him.
"The first thing: help me kidnap the County Magistrate. Any problems with that?" Xu Sanyan raised an eyebrow.
Zhu Yong quickly responded, "No problem at all, Fourth Master. Leave it to me."
Although he didn't know why Xu Sanyan wanted to kidnap the County Magistrate, he knew better than to ask.
"The second thing: find me a ruthless person, a scholar with a reputation, and four people with a murderous aura."
Xuan Hong frowned in thought upon hearing this, then slowly nodded, "Fourth Master, rest assured. I'll handle this."
"Good, go and take care of it."
"Yes, sir."
The two of them left the residence, exchanged a glance, and then went their separate ways.
Xu Sanyan personally went outside the city, finding a graveyard. He dug up a broken coffin and took a handful of black soil from beneath it—both materials needed for the "Life Coffin Technique."
That night, Xuan Hong and Zhu Yong completed their tasks. Seven people were tightly bound with hemp ropes, unable to move.
Xu Sanyan looked at one of the burly men. This man was short in stature but had a face full of rough, fierce features. Although he was tied up, he remained defiant, glaring at Xu Sanyan with anger.
Xu Sanyan nodded in satisfaction. This must be the vicious one.
