96: Bai Munging's Repayment

These guys didn't know, but he did.

Chen Tianming’s strength was definitely not just Ming Jin (Initial Stage)!

If they went up, they would be completely serving themselves on a platter!

Qi Lin opened his mouth, hesitated for a while, and then said, “If we confront him head-on, all of us combined are not Chen Tianming’s match!”

“He has most likely already reached the level of Dark Jin strength!”

Qi Lin ultimately didn't have the nerve to say that their Big Sister-in-law was now Chen Tianming's woman.

Now, when Qu Huaixuan saw him, it was like she was seeing an enemy, let alone taking her away and leaving the alliance…

“What?”

Both were greatly astonished!

Meanwhile, Grace, who was nearby, brightened and involuntarily sat up straight!

“Dark Jin? Boss, you’re not joking, are you?”

“Yeah, that dissolute playboy, so debauched, could he have Dark Jin strength? Boss, you weren’t tricked, were you?”

Both were incredulous!

They had seen Chen Tianming’s information before they set off.

This guy was, at most, a Grandmaster in strength; how did he suddenly become Dark Jin?

Qi Lin sighed and said, “If it were me, and I hadn’t experienced it firsthand, I would certainly be incredulous hearing this news, but the truth is…”

“You see.”

With that, he extended his right hand.

It was the very hand that Chen Tianming had crushed in the mall; it hadn't fully recovered yet.

Everyone present was a martial artist and immediately saw the problem.

For a moment, they were too shocked to utter a single word.

They knew their boss’s strength best, especially with the Qilin Bloodline enhancement; in terms of power, even an ordinary Dark Jin might not be able to inflict such exaggerated injuries.

In other words… had Chen Tianming been hiding his strength all along?

The two exchanged glances, each seeing the astonishment in the other's eyes!

This meant that since Chen Tianming had hidden his strength, his usual frivolous demeanor was likely also fake!

The atmosphere in the room instantly grew cold…

Dark Jin, this was not on the same level as them at all!

Let alone a head-on confrontation, even an assassination would be difficult to accomplish, and now that Chen Tianming was on guard, Qi Lin couldn't act recklessly either.

What to do?

Just as everyone was at a loss, Grace suddenly broke the silence, “I heard Chen Tianming likes women. Is that intelligence true?”

Qi Lin froze for a moment, then, as if he thought of something, his face darkened.

However, he eventually nodded and said, “That much should be true.”

Seeing everyone look at her in confusion, Grace continued, “Since the boss’s aura has already been noted by the opponent, for a surprise assassination, it’s best for me to act.”

“I have a plan…”

“Honey trap!”

As soon as these words were spoken.

Qi Lin immediately frowned!

Wang Pangzi and the thin man looked at Grace in shock!

Didn’t Grace like the boss? Wasn’t this putting horns on the boss?

In reality, what they didn't know was that Grace only admired strong individuals! She wanted to contend with strong individuals!

She had no feelings for Qi Lin whatsoever.

Of course, Qi Lin’s mind was entirely on Qu Huaixuan and he didn't notice this, while the two subordinates, lacking a system, mistook Grace’s persistence for so-called admiration.

Qi Lin was silent for a moment, then finally frowned and said, “This is too dangerous!”

“Once you fail, you’ll lose your life!”

The two subordinates also echoed, nodding and saying, “That’s right!”

“Let’s think of other ways!”

Grace, however, remained calm, her eyes even slightly crazed!

A slight smile played on her lips!

“What other way? Besides this, there is no other way!”

“An assassin, when killing, should already be mentally prepared to be killed in return!”

“Besides, I’m not necessarily doomed to die; there’s a chance of success!”

Her codename was Ghost! Meaning to kill invisibly!

In terms of assassination techniques alone, even Qi Lin couldn't compare to her!

After she said this, Qi Lin knew that she had made up her mind to go!

Coupled with his own selfish motives, he remained silent for a long time, and under the gaze of the three, he finally nodded slowly…

…

At the same time.

Chen Tianming, who had left the school, sat in his car, looking at the messages on his phone, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Qi Lin and his group thought they were well hidden, but little did they know, for the Chen family's power, finding them was simply too easy!

“A bunch of ants, completely ignorant of true strength!”

If Chen Tianming wanted to, he could wipe them out right now.

“However, Qi Lin still has value, and the second Female Lead hasn’t appeared yet… I’ll play along with you for a bit.”

Chen Tianming put away his phone, stepped on the gas, and drove off into the distance, exchanging his car for a common black minivan with A Qi, who had arrived halfway…

Finally, Chen Tianming stopped downstairs at a building.

This was the very house Bai Muning had mentioned she had outside.

Chen Tianming naturally hadn't forgotten the promise of repayment made at the banquet earlier; with a slight smile, he walked upstairs and, guided by memory, knocked on the door…

Click!

“Tianming Ge!” After Bai Muning opened the door, the moment she saw Chen Tianming, her eyes lit up, a surprised expression appeared on her exquisite face, and she directly threw herself into Chen Tianming’s arms.

Chen Tianming effortlessly caught her, lowering his head to examine her.

Today, Bai Muning was wearing a panda pajama set.

It had to be said, this internet-addicted Female Lead truly had a wide variety of pajamas; there was a new style every time they met.

“Let’s go inside and talk.”

Chen Tianming was eager to move; he easily picked up Bai Muning, walked into the room, and with a bang, closed the door.

“Where’s the dress you wore at the banquet last time?” Chen Tianming asked with a smile.

Bai Muning’s pretty face flushed, and she said, “It’s all because of you, it got so dirty…”

“It’s just been washed and is in the closet now.”

Thinking of how her sister almost found out last time, Bai Muning still felt lingering fear.

As soon as this was mentioned, her heart pounded, and her legs felt weak.

Chen Tianming looked at Bai Muning like this, immediately knowing what she was thinking, and secretly chuckled, whispering in her ear, “This time, I want to see you in a formal gown…”

Bai Muning’s ears turned red, but in the end, she lowered her head and gave an almost imperceptible hum.

Later…

Chen Tianming held Bai Muning in his arms, and a mechanical system prompt sounded in his ear…

【Ding! Detected that Female Lead Bai Muning’s favorability (black) towards the host has reached one hundred points!】

【Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: Minor Realm Advancement Card *1】

【Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: Marrow Cleansing Pill *10 (Immortal) Foundation Establishment Pill *10 (Immortal)】

【PS: Cultivation world elixir】

Crack, crack, crack…

Accompanied by a series of bone-cracking sounds, Chen Tianming’s aura surged once more!

His martial artist realm ultimately settled at the middle stage of Huajin!

“Awesome!” Chen Tianming’s eyes lit up; he was one step closer to becoming a Land Immortal.

Then, he shifted his gaze to the other two rewards…
