31: Maid Poker 2

After placing the three Black-clothed Men in Villa No. 3, the Living Dead went to Ling Xian's Villa No. 1.

"Please treat her!" Ling Xian said.

"You don't need to tell me, I have things to ask her as well." The Living Dead's nose was turned up toward the sky, still harboring resentment for Ling Xian's previous ruthlessness.

"Lie down!" The Living Dead squinted his eyes, feeling nothing but curiosity toward Poker 2.

Poker 2 obediently lay down on the sofa.

Then, the Living Dead took out silver needles and inserted them one by one into Poker 2's lower abdomen.

The methods used by the person who crippled Poker 2 were extremely ruthless; they had used powerful internal energy to completely destroy her dantian.

Such a heavy injury gave even the Living Dead a headache.

If he hadn't just obtained the fragmented manual of the Taisu Pulse Theory, he really would have had to resort to some secret techniques.

"Young Master Ling, this chick's injuries were definitely not caused by those three Black-clothed Men," the Living Dead said solemnly.

"Oh?" Ling Xian asked in confusion, "The reason?"

"Those three Black-clothed Men definitely don't have this kind of strength. For an injury of this level, there is only one possibility... a Grandmaster made a move!" The Living Dead emphasized the words 'Grandmaster made a move,' as if to highlight the power of a Grandmaster.

"Just a Grandmaster, what's there to fear?" Ling Xian said disdainfully. He had quite a few trump cards; if it was just an ordinary Grandmaster, he truly could win.

"A Grandmaster is invincible! All those below a Grandmaster are but ants!

Young Master Ling is being far too arrogant." The Living Dead's eyes twitched, his nose practically pointing at the sky.

He had truly seen a Grandmaster before. Although he had schemed against a few, those were merely sneak attacks.

To say that Ling Xian reaching the Fifth Stage at such a young age made him a heaven-sent talent was true, but there was still a significant gap between him and a Grandmaster. Whether he could break through to Grandmaster in the future was still a question.

He had seen many geniuses remain stuck at the Fifth Stage for decades, never finding the way.

"Fine, I will handle such a small matter when the time comes.

Besides, I have more than just one Grandmaster backing me." Ling Xian spoke indifferently, not taking a so-called Grandmaster seriously at all.

Seeing how arrogant Ling Xian was, the Living Dead stopped trying to persuade him.

Instead, he continued the treatment.

Watching the silver needles being inserted one after another, Poker 2 was also a bit nervous. This was her first time encountering the legendary sorcery of the ancient Eastern nation.

As time passed, the silver needles were inserted into her lower abdomen like a torrential rain.

Suddenly, a surge of warmth came from Poker 2's dantian.

"This... is the feeling of internal energy..."

Poker 2 looked at Ling Xian and the Living Dead in amazement. Her already crippled meridians were being reconnected, and she could feel internal energy.

"Impossible, I clearly injected the Serum. It should be impossible to feel Qi and step onto the Martial Path again!" Poker 2's eyes were moist as tears rolled down.

No one could understand the despair of the members of the Poker Organization.

The Serum brought them strength beyond ordinary people, but at the same time, it locked their upper limit.

To increase their strength again, they needed every gene in their body to absorb energy to unlock the legendary Genetic Locks, or inject a new Serum.

But a new Serum was more likely to result in death.

After about a few minutes, the Living Dead retracted all the silver needles. He glanced at Poker 2 and asked, "What did you mean by what you just said?

What do you mean 'impossible to step onto the Martial Path'? Are you looking down on this old man?"

"No... that's not what I meant," Poker 2 explained anxiously. "I was just very surprised by your methods, old gentleman."

"What is your name?" Ling Xian asked.

"Chi Taohua," Poker 2 answered.

"Don't be in such a hurry to talk," the Living Dead said irritably. "First move your limbs, and then tell this old man why your mobility still exceeds that of an ordinary person despite your broken meridians."

Chi Taohua looked nervous. "Can I have a piece of candy first?"

Ling Xian and the Living Dead were both a bit dumbfounded. This little loli wanted to eat candy as soon as her body recovered; just how much did she love candy?

Combined with this little loli's figure, people would believe it if you said she was a child.

"Here." Ling Xian found a bag of rock candy in a corner of the villa.

Chi Taohua took it and immediately stuffed a few pieces into her mouth.

"I... I..."

Seeing Chi Taohua hesitating, Ling Xian spoke directly: "I can agree to take you in, and I can also help resolve the issue with the organization behind you."

"I am a member of a mysterious Poker Organization, code-named 'Poker 2'." Chi Taohua felt the sweetness of the rock candy, and her mind eased a bit.

"As for the mobility exceeding ordinary people that you mentioned, it's because I was injected with the organization's Serum.

My meridians were broken because I was dealt with by Poker 6.

The reason I'm being hunted by them is that I wanted to escape the organization..."

Chi Taohua revealed many secrets in one breath.

"Serum?" the Living Dead asked curiously.

A thirst for medical knowledge flashed in his eyes.

"Medicine shouldn't just be ancient medicine; various medical arts should be integrated.

It seems I also need to learn about the medical arts of the outside world." The Living Dead thought about the future.

"Do you still have the Serum?"

"The Serum is so precious, how could it be kept on me?" Chi Taohua waved her hand.

"Let me take some of your blood," the Living Dead said.

"Oh, here." Chi Taohua squeezed out a drop of blood, and the Living Dead immediately found a test tube.

"I want to follow you!" Chi Taohua suddenly said, pointing at Ling Xian.

"Me?" Ling Xian was a bit confused.

"That's right. As a B-class Mental-type Esper after being injected with the Serum, I can sense that you are different.

Although you have A-class strength, that powerful spirit can reach the mental power of an S-class powerhouse," Chi Taohua explained the reason.

Ling Xian hesitated a bit. He was supposed to deal with Lin Feng, but now a character outside the plot had appeared and wanted to follow him. He couldn't help but feel it was a bit strange.

Seeing Ling Xian's hesitation, Chi Taohua grabbed Ling Xian's arm and shook it repeatedly, putting on a pitiful look.

"Is that okay, Big Brother? Big Brother is the best. Chi Taohua is Big Brother's best little sister."

Chi Taohua looked like a little 'green tea' girl, but... Ling Xian liked it.

Green tea is good!

Green tea must be drunk!

"Fine, from now on, you are the sole maid of my villa!" Ling Xian agreed with a smile.

"Young Master, those three Black-clothed Men committed suicide." At that moment, Ling Wu suddenly appeared and reported the situation of the three Black-clothed Men who had just woken up in Villa No. 3.

This was within Ling Xian's expectations. Members of such organizations were either extremely loyal or looking to escape.

They were either death warriors or traitors... After tonight, Ling Xian had gained a little maid.
