76: Chapter 76 Wilfrid Wilfrid, how about we make a deal?

[You were politely escorted back to the cell by Zhang Mazi, and he even moved you to a clean and spacious new cell.]

[Mother Lin had already been waiting anxiously inside.]

["Shuang'er! Are you alright? Did they hit you?" Seeing you return, Mother Lin rushed over and looked you up and down.]

["Mother, I'm fine." You grasped Mother Lin's rough hand, channeling a wisp of gentle True Qi into her, "It will be fine immediately; we'll be able to go home very soon."]

[After another while, the sound of heavy footsteps came from the prison corridor.]

[Several men wearing the black martial outfits of the Black Tiger Gang walked over, led by a man with a scarred face and a fleshy, mean-looking visage.]

["The Magistrate has given the word; we are taking this girl." The scarred man tossed a silver ingot to the jailer and walked up to the cell door.]

[He had just wanted to open his mouth to spout some harsh words, but the moment his gaze fell upon your face, his eyes suddenly widened like copper bells.]

[He had never seen such a stunning woman; that aura of coldness mixed with fragility made him stop breathing for half a beat, and the imposing words he had prepared were all stuck in his throat.]

[You ignored their gazes.]

[You walked to the cell door, extended your jade-white hands, and gripped the two refined iron bars in front of you, which were as thick as a forearm.]

[Your five fingers tightened.]

["Creak—"]

[The teeth-grinding sound of twisting metal exploded in the gloomy cell.]

[That refined iron bar, capable of locking in an Innate expert, was bent outward into an exaggerated "U" shape in your fair, delicate hands as if it were soft noodles.]

[You brushed the rust off your hands and walked out through the gap, which was large enough for a person to pass through.]

[You turned your head to look at Mother Lin, who had turned to stone.]

["Mother, wait for me here for a moment. I'm going to handle some business; I'll be right back to pick you up."]

[Mother Lin opened her mouth, looked at the bent iron pillar, then looked at your slender arms, and swallowed.]

["O-okay." Mother Lin nodded blankly, a strange thought suddenly popping into her mind, "No wonder Shuang'er has always refused to marry. With this kind of grip strength, what young man could handle it..."]

[You turned back and looked at the Black Tiger Gang members outside the door.]

["Let's go." Your tone was indifferent.]

[The scarred man and his several subordinates exchanged looks. They looked at your petite figure, then at the bent refined iron bar, and their jaws nearly dropped to the floor.]

["Gulp." The scarred man swallowed, his fleshy face squeezing into an extremely ugly, yet incredibly fawning smile.]

["Miss... Miss Lin, please, right this way, please."]

[He bent down and made a gesture of invitation. The group of men, as if escorting an ancestor, crowded around you and left the county jail.]

[Black Tiger Gang branch, main hall.]

[Wei Feisen was wearing a dark gold brocade robe, sitting boldly and imposingly on the tiger-skin armchair.]

[He held a piece of intelligence paper that had just been delivered, his fingers gently rubbing his chin, the corners of his mouth curling into a smile of great interest.]

["Interesting." He murmured softly, "Slapping an adult man to death with one palm... I didn't expect that my little bride-to-be was actually hiding this trick."]

[He threw the paper onto the table.]

["To be able to achieve this level, Internal Energy must be projected to injure others; it is at least a Houtian Late Stage, or even a Post-Heaven Peak." Wei Feisen's eyes flashed with excitement, "Hiding deep enough, but the wilder the horse, the more flavorful it is to tame."]

["Gang Leader." A subordinate walked quickly into the main hall and knelt on one knee, "Miss Lin has been brought here."]

["Let her in." Wei Feisen sat up straight, adjusting himself into what he considered his most oppressive sitting posture.]

[Accompanied by the sound of light footsteps, you walked into the main hall.]

[Wei Feisen raised his head, and the moment his gaze fell upon you, his entire body suddenly froze.]

[He had seen you many times; in his memory, you were a delicate, stubborn young girl with a hint of mundane, worldly aura.]

[But the you standing in front of him right now made him feel a strong sense of strangeness.]

[You were only wearing the most ordinary coarse prison uniform and wore no makeup, yet that face was breathtakingly beautiful. Even more deadly was the aura you carried, cold as the snow on a high mountain, yet revealing a fatal attraction that made his heart beat wildly against his will the moment he looked at you.]

[Wei Feisen's breath hitched slightly, and the possessiveness in his eyes instantly surged to the extreme.]

[You ignored his burning gaze.]

[You scanned the main hall, walked straight to the most spacious grand armchair in the guest seating area, and sat down.]

[Then, in front of the Black Tiger Gang leader, you crossed your legs with extreme naturalness.]

[Wei Feisen was stunned.]

[He had imagined your reaction upon entering: fear, anger, begging for mercy, or unyielding defiance.]

[But he never expected that you would be as casual as if you had returned to your own home.]

[Although this action was somewhat vulgar, in his eyes, combined with that face of yours, he actually found it somewhat damnably cute.]

["Miss Lin..." Wei Feisen was about to speak, preparing to throw out his conditions.]

[You interrupted him.]

["Wei Feisen, how about we make a deal?" You leaned back against the chair, your fingers gently tapping the armrest.]

[Wei Feisen withdrew his burning gaze, a flash of inquiry and vigilance appearing in his eyes.]

["We are clearly meeting for the first time." He stared into your eyes, "Miss Lin, why do you seem so familiar with me?"]

[You looked at him, the corners of your mouth slightly upturned.]

["How could I not be?" You spat out a few words, "Young Master Li."]

["Boom!"]

[Wei Feisen's pupils instantly shrank to the size of needle points.]

[He stood up abruptly, the tiger-skin armchair beneath him letting out an unbearable groan, and an extremely violent Innate True Qi erupted from his body, shaking the candlelight in the main hall so that it flickered wildly.]

["How do you know that?"]

[This was one of his greatest secrets; he had once disguised himself as Young Master Li and observed you secretly on Yunjin City's South Street for a long time. Apart from himself, absolutely no second person could possibly know about this!]

[You didn't even blink.]

["That's not important." You said indifferently, "What's important is that I know there is an Immortals Abode in Daliang Mountain, and inside is the cultivation method you want."]

[Wei Feisen narrowed his eyes, and a moment later, he sneered, "Miss Lin, if you want to save your mother, you don't need to make up such clumsy lies to deceive me."]

["An Immortals Abode? A sheltered girl who has never even left Yunjin City, where did you hear such fairy tales?"]

[You uncrossed your legs and leaned forward slightly, "I know much more than you imagine."]

["For example, that Immortal Cultivator who is your childhood sweetheart."]

[Wei Feisen's expression changed.]

["For example, you are preparing to collect the Martial Dao Cultivation Techniques of the entire Martial Forest."]

[Wei Feisen's breathing became erratic.]

["And for example... that Immortal Puppet in your hands that requires blue Spirit Stones to activate."]

["Bang!"]
