d slightly. "Is it that kid who caused a big stir in the capital city recently"It’s definitely him," Yao Fang said with a somewhat helpless look. "There's a rumor in Jianghai City: if you come across...Chapter 1225: Killing You Directly

Even though the booth was noisy, Xia Tian's voice carried an irresistible penetrative power that immediately reached everyone inside the booth.

The women heard the sound but didn't react. They continued to wriggle their bodies. The only one who reacted was Zhuge Wentian, who was enjoying himself. He looked at the door and his expression suddenly changed. It wasn’t because of Xia Tian but Gu Hanshuang!

Zhuge Wentian took out a large pile of cash and handed it to the woman moving on top of him: "Put your clothes back on and get out."

Only after hearing Zhuge Wentian's words did they finally act. They stopped their actions, began to dress up, and then each took a large amount of cash before leaving. Soon, the booth was left with only Zhuge Wentian.

Zhuge Wentian slowly dressed himself and stood up. He slowly said: "Hanshuang, is that you"

The reason why Zhuge Wentian couldn’t be sure was because Gu Hanshuang had been facing away from the booth all along; clearly, she didn't want to see such a ridiculous scene.

The music in the booth had been turned off, making it quite quiet at the moment. However, the nightclub was still rather noisy overall. Nevertheless, for these few people, listening clearly to what each other said was no problem.

"Frosty, you can turn around now. The guy has put his clothes back on," Summer said at this time.

Gu Hanchuang finally turned around and looked at Zhuge Wentian: "Uncle Zhuge, how did you end up like this"

Dude

Hearing this title, Summer was momentarily stunned. Wasn't this guy several decades older than Frosty

"Hanchuang, is it really you" After clearly seeing Gu Hanchuang's face at this moment, Zhuge Wentian confirmed his previous guess, yet he still looked a bit surprised: "Why has your voice changed like this"

"Uncle Zhuge, my throat ailment was cured, so that's why my voice sounds different," Gu Hanchuang replied. "But you tell me, how did you end up looking like this now"

"If heaven intends to destroy someone, it first makes them go mad. I am already close to death; why not make that old heavens pleased and indulge in madness for a while" After calming down, Zhuge Wentian spoke slowly: “Xiasuang, others may not understand, but you should know what I mean. When I returned to Qingcheng, I found it was no longer my home. A hundred years have passed, everything has been destroyed, nothing remains as before, and even the last bit of hope I had is gone."

"Destroyed" Gu Xiasuang seemed somewhat puzzled: "How could that happen"

"With too many people going there, it was bound to be destroyed. When I realized cultivation couldn’t continue as before, I originally wanted to live a good life for the remaining years, but I found out I had nothing. No family, no money—I can't even survive in this world. Originally, I planned to farm on the mountain like in the past and provide for myself, yet someone told me I couldn't do that because those lands weren’t mine." Zhuge Wentian slowly walked towards the door, standing less than a meter away from Gu Xiasuang: "In the end, I left Qingcheng, coming here to Shu Capital. Living like a beggar, I gradually adapted to society’s life, but there's still one thing missing—a necessity in any era—money."

"So you resorted to robbing" Gu Xiasuang clearly had difficulty accepting this.

"Yes, after over a hundred years of cultivation, the only thing left is power. I don't want all my efforts to result in death. At least before dying, I want to live well for a while." Zhuge Wentian's expression was calm, obviously believing there was nothing wrong with what he did: "Xiasuang, this world isn’t suitable for us anymore. You are younger than me and can still live longer. Listen to me and live well; let Zhuang Yun Dong marry you. If he doesn't agree, find another ordinary man, be a wife and mother, don’t pursue that illusory Heavenly Dao anymore."

"Xiasuang, actually what he said isn’t wrong. In the future, obediently serve as my little maid; this young master will treat you well." Xia Tian joined in with one sentence. He hadn't spoken or acted because Gu Xiasuang had told him she wanted to talk with Zhuge Wentian first.

"What are you saying" Zhuge Wentian finally focused his attention on Xia Tian: "What right do you have for Xiasuang to be your maid"

Before Summer could say anything, Gu Hanchuang spoke up: "Uncle Zhuge, I am indeed the young master's maid."

"What" Zhuge Wentian looked incredulous. He first glanced at Summer and then stared closely at Gu Hanchuang for a full minute before he asked again, "Hanchuang, there isn't much light here, so I didn't notice it right away. But now that I take a good look, your complexion looks very healthy — much better than the last time we met. Your ki also seems to have advanced quite a bit and you've aged less as well. With all these changes in consideration, could it be that you’ve already cultivated to the Golden Core stage"

Gu Hanchuang gently shook her head: "Uncle Zhuge, I still have some distance before reaching the Golden Core stage. However, my young master is a divine physician who helped me regulate my body."

"So just because of that, you became his maid" Zhuge Wentian snorted. "What about Zhuang Yundong Did he agree to take you as his maid"

"Uncle Zhuge, Zhuang Yundong has passed away, and Yuan Tianzheng is also gone. We are now down to only four people, and I don’t want you to be the next one to die." Gu Hanchuang’s tone held a hint of sorrow. "Uncle Zhuge, you used to take care of us young folks and encouraged us time after time that we could become immortals one day. So please promise me something: stop robbing and killing people and live as an ordinary person. Just like what you just told me, you can find a woman to marry and have children with, and live out your life normally. Can you do it If you need money, I can give you some; my family is still wealthy enough to ensure that you won’t struggle financially for the rest of your days."

"Hanchuang, I appreciate your kindness, but unlike you, I don't have much time left — I feel myself aging rapidly. All I want now is to do things ordinary people can do while my strength and body still hold out. I don’t wish to spend a hundred years cultivating only to end up with nothing. Killing or robbing are just experiences of life for me. Once I’ve had enough of these experiences, my life will come to an end." Zhuge Wentian said calmly: "If you want to arrest me, I won't blame you, but even though your strength might be a bit stronger than mine now, escaping from you would still not be difficult."

"Uncle Zhuge, that’s not true. If you’re willing, you could live for decades more. I told you before, my young master is a divine physician who promised to help extend your life so you can live like an ordinary person for several decades." Gu Hanchuang still hoped to change Zhuge Wentian's mind.

"Is that so" Zhuge Wentian turned to look at Xia Tian, a hint of surprise in his eyes. "Can his medical skills really be that miraculous"

"Yes, Young Master's medical skills are truly amazing; I've seen them with my own eyes and experienced their effects firsthand." Gu Hanchuang hurriedly nodded.

Zhuge Wentian shook his head nonetheless: "Even so, what difference does it make If I kill people and rob money, the police won't let me live a peaceful life."

"Young Master can handle all these issues for you. All you need to do is agree. Once you agree, Young Master will arrange everything perfectly for you, ensuring your comfortable future without any disturbance from others." Gu Hanchuang spoke with sincerity, which made Xia Tian realize that this Miss Frost indeed cared deeply about Zhuge Wentian.

Zhuge Wentian looked at Xia Tian again; a peculiar gleam flashed in his eyes: "You're quite impressive. To earn such admiration from Miss Frost is no small feat. I wonder how should I address you"

"Of course, I'm amazing—I can do anything." Xia Tian said lazily: "My name's Xia Tian, the 'Xia' in summer and winter, and the 'Tian' in the top of the world. I am the number one divine doctor and also the number one martial artist in the world. I advise you to take Miss Frost's words seriously; otherwise, I will have no choice but to eliminate you directly. Actually, I would prefer doing that right away to avoid trouble. If it weren't for Miss Frost wanting to keep your life, I wouldn’t be bothered with all this nonsense."

"The number one martial artist in the world" Surprise appeared on Zhuge Wentian's face again: "I've never heard of you before, and besides, I can't sense any aura of a top martial artist from you at all."

"Uncle Zhuge, Young Master is much stronger than me," Gu Hanshuang couldn't help but say.

"What" This time, Zhuge Wentian was genuinely shocked. He stared unblinkingly at Xia Tian for a while before slowly saying, "Repressed spiritual energy, returning to simplicity and purity, that's at least the Core Formation stage. Could it be that you are already an expert of the Core Formation realm"

Xia Tian finally grew impatient. With no sound or commotion, he suddenly struck out with a palm move that was incredibly fast. Neither Gu Hanshuang nor Zhuge Wentian had anticipated his sudden attack. Given their significant disparity in strength and Xia Tian's unexpected sneak attack, the outcome was unsurprising—Zhuge Wentian failed to react in time and was sent flying by Xia Tian's strike.

However, Xia Tian's palm technique was well-measured; Zhuge Wentian flew back several meters but landed unscathed with no signs of injury whatsoever.

"You... You really..." Zhuge Wentian was extraordinarily shocked. At this point, he clearly knew that Xia Tian was undoubtedly an extraordinary expert, and in his view, Xia Tian's strength likely surpassed the Core Formation stage!

"Little Frost advised you nicely, but you insisted on quibbling. I'll just tell you straightforwardly: If you listen to Little Frost, you'll survive; otherwise, with my next palm strike, I will kill you outright!" Xia Tian appeared extremely impatient as his patience had been completely drained..
