36: Chapter 36 Yellow Wolf

At the high peaks of White Flame Mountain.

Once a tourist destination, it is now bleak and dilapidated, with wisps of white smoke rising under the shroud of the pale red sunset...

The courtyard, overgrown with moss and large weeds, and the few dilapidated ancient buildings all show that its former prosperity has completely vanished.

Inside the room, dim lights flickered, casting swaying shadows, while the pungent smell of alcohol and sweat intertwined and permeated the air.

A dozen burly men, sitting or lying down, were gathered around several crooked tables. The tables were covered with chipped ceramic bowls and leftover bones, and some even had mahjong sets laid out.

"Heh, these days, it's truly delightful!"

A burly, bald man with a face full of flab took a large gulp of alcohol, threw down a tile, and spoke while playing mahjong.

As soon as he finished speaking, a burly man sitting opposite him slammed down a tile: "One Bam!"

"Baldy, that female celebrity that Brother Huang Lang just captured, tsk, that skin is smooth and tender. I wonder if Brother is done with her yet? We'd like to have a taste too! Ahahahaha!!!"

"Hahahaha!"

The group of burly men in the room burst into laughter.

He downed a large bowl of white liquor, and the liquid ran down his chin onto his stained shirt. He wiped it with his sleeve and threw down two tiles: "Pong!"

"Speaking of this female celebrity, heh, she thought that with a few Qi Refining Realm Cultivators protecting her, she could pass through our territory and go hold some cross-region concert. Well, look at that, she's been caught by us! Hahahaha!!!"

"Did she really think a few Qi Refining Realm Cultivators could protect her? Our big brother is at the Foundation Establishment Realm! Capturing her is as easy as pie!"

"And that person..."

As the men spoke, they cast glances toward a middle-aged man with a square face and a full beard sitting in the farthest corner.

He sat alone like a wild, bearded wanderer, wearing a dark yellow plaid shirt with shoulder-length hair. His eyes were dull and lifeless, and he was holding a photograph, stroking it gently...

The photo looked like a family portrait.

In the photo, a young couple and a cute little girl were laughing happily, a scene of warmth and happiness.

And if one looked closely at his stubbly face, it was not hard to see that the man in the photo was none other than himself...

Two tears fell imperceptibly from the man's eyes.

Suddenly, someone came and sat down opposite the man. "Damn it, this bitch! She almost bit me to death!!!"

Seeing the newcomer, the man hurriedly wiped his tears in secret and instantly regained his composure.

The newcomer was a young man with dyed yellow hair and a sinister expression. He had a cigarette hanging from the corner of his mouth, squinting his eyes, while his hands clutched his crotch with a painful expression.

"Brother Huang Lang, what's wrong? Did that dame bite you?"

Seeing the yellow-haired man's state, the whole room of burly men burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha! Brother Huang Lang got pecked by a chicken!!!"

"Hey, how can you call her a chicken? She's a female celebrity, after all..."

Seemingly unable to bear the humiliation, the yellow-haired man looked up and roared, "Stop fucking laughing at me! I suffered this on your behalf!!!"

"Brother Huang Lang, you're joking. You didn't suffer for us; you just wanted the first pick. Heh heh, I didn't expect our Brother Huang Lang to have a day where he'd fall victim to a woman!!!"

The burly men burst into another round of laughter.

The yellow-haired man known as "Huang Lang" seemed enraged and slammed his hand onto the table with a loud slap!

In an instant...

Small, white objects scattered across the table. They were human teeth.

"Huang Lang" counted them one by one, saying, "This stinking bitch, not only is her skin white, but she also kept her teeth so white..."

The burly men all fell silent.

Apparently, when Brother Huang Lang forced the woman to submit, she resisted, and he had actually pulled out all of her teeth...

"Don't you have Spiritual Qi protecting your body..."

The square-faced man glanced at Huang Lang and said expressionlessly.

"Heh, Spiritual Qi protection? That's so boring!"

As Huang Lang was counting, he frowned and started over, clearly having been interrupted and forgetting what number he was on.

"That woman... did you kill her?"

"Kill her?"

Huang Lang looked up, stopped counting the pile of teeth, and casually tossed them onto the floor. He slammed the table and said, "In her dreams! Who hasn't been skinned and dismembered after falling into my, Huang Lang's, hands? Does she think she can easily beg for death just because she's a female celebrity? In her dreams! At the very least, the brothers should have some fun with her first, right? Right, brothers!!!"

"Hahahaha, exactly!"

"We follow Brother Huang Lang to be bandits just to have a good time!"

"What bandits? We are devils! We want to be devils, to seek the Demonic Path, understand?"

"Right, right, we want to enter the Demonic Path!!!"

The room full of burly men clamored, a dance of demons.

"Isn't this... a bit too much?"

The square-faced man's facial muscles twitched slightly as he looked at Huang Lang and said this.

For a moment, the air seemed to freeze.

Huang Lang stared fixedly at the square-faced man, his eyes bloodshot. He spat out the words one by one: "When I was working in a factory, screwing bolts in the dark, when I was living in a bridge tunnel, when I was delivering food and packages to these rich people, what were they doing? Earning 2.6 million a day, eating breakfasts that cost thousands, staying in presidential suites that cost over a hundred thousand a night, and they still laughed at us for not working hard? Was there justice then? Did anyone care?"

"Now, the Heavenly Dao and its Reincarnation are truly fair. I, Huang Lang, do not kill the poor; I only kill these isolated rich celebrities... and you dogs of the Justice Bureau!!!"

"You say I've gone too far?"

At this point, Huang Lang wore a sinister grin: "But when they committed those sins back then, did they ever think this day would come... my dear Deputy Director Liu?"

...

...

The afterglow of the sunset, the setting sun dipped below the horizon.

The convoy continued to move forward along the national highway.

Su Fan was driving while glancing out the window. When he saw a high peak five miles away, he heard Wang Hao say, "That's the 4A-rated White Flame Mountain scenic area. It used to be, but it's not anymore."

"Yeah, I remember going there many times for trips back in college! After the Spiritual Qi resurgence, the world went completely chaotic, and I never left the Safe Zone again. This mission is my first time coming out!" Chen Qian said with a nostalgic look.

"By the way, Junior Sister Chen Qian, what did you do before your Awakening of extraordinary powers?" Wang Hao asked.

"Me? I just graduated from college three years ago. For these three years, I tried to pass the civil service exams, but I didn't get in, so I've been helping my family with some small business."

As Chen Qian spoke, she looked at Su Fan with stars in her eyes: "Su Fan, you're so amazing, what did you do before?"

"I..."

After hesitating for a moment, Su Fan decided to answer honestly: "I was an internet writer, writing web novels..."
