167: Professional flute player
Wei Xuan looked like a thief as he tiptoed to the door of Xue Shuhan's room.
After much deliberation, no one was more suitable than Xue Shuhan!
To ensure secrecy, he had even changed into a set of black clothes!
Hearing the snores coming from inside the room, Wei Xuan chuckled and transformed into a wisp of cloud, squeezing through the gap under the door!
Upon entering Xue Shuhan's room,
and just as he resumed his human form,
the pungent smell of a sour pickle jar assaulted Wei Xuan's nostrils.
Wei Xuan's expression immediately froze!
"Oh, ugh~"
He quickly covered his mouth to avoid making noise. Fortunately, Xue Shuhan was still sound asleep and completely unaware that an uninvited guest had entered his room!
Wei Xuan conjured two small clouds and stuffed them into his nostrils.
"Damn, this Tough Guy's foot odor is seriously strong!"
Looking at the bed, Xue Shuhan was sleeping soundly, wearing a pair of large red shorts and hugging a big pillow. His blanket had long been kicked onto the floor.
A string of crystal-clear drool hung from the corner of his mouth!
It was even stringy!
Wei Xuan smiled brightly and pulled out the Soul-Shattering feather duster from behind his back.
Holding the feather end, he was about to go up and give Xue Shuhan a good smack!
Just then,
the emotionless voice of the System rang out.
[Ding! Mission triggered! Please repel the sneak attack from the Tang Family members!]
Huh?
Wei Xuan stopped in his tracks.
Tang Family members?
A sneak attack?
Tonight?
As he pondered, several shadowy figures appeared furtively outside the window.
Wei Xuan was startled!
He quickly transformed into a thin cloud and floated to the window!
He saw four figures hanging outside the window.
Without exception, they were all dressed in black and had their faces covered!
Wei Xuan immediately understood: these must be the Tang Family members!
In an instant, Wei Xuan guessed that someone from the Tang Family must have recognized Xue Shuhan during the Dragon Tiger Hegemony Tournament, which was why they snuck over in the middle of the night!
Good heavens, launching a sneak attack while someone is sleeping?
That's truly shameless!
Bah!
The people hanging outside the window were quite capable; they had actually climbed up the wall!
This was the fifth floor!
You really needed some skill to do that!
Each of them clung to the outer windowsill. One of them whispered, "This is the little thief's room, alright! Third Brother! We're counting on you!"
A black-clad man next to him chuckled, reaching into his pocket and pulling out a long tube!
He said proudly, "Leave it to me. This is my newly developed Soul-Dazing Incense! It's colorless and odorless, takes effect in three seconds, and can easily knock out even an ox. They won't wake up for at least a day and a night!"
The first black-clad man gave a thumbs-up. "Third Brother, your poison-making skills have improved again!"
Third Brother patted his chest.
"Watch closely! Give me three seconds!"
After speaking, he inserted a small pill into the tube, and a wisp of extremely faint firelight lit up on his fingertip, igniting the pill. The black-clad men quickly held their breath.
Third Brother then pried open a gap in the window, poked one end of the tube through the opening, and kept the other end for himself.
This whole process demonstrated incredible familiarity!
He smiled confidently, took a deep breath, and put the tube in his mouth!
He was just about to blow!
Wei Xuan inside the room heard everything clearly.
Good heavens, knockout gas?
How malicious!
Even I wouldn't do something like this!
He then stealthily extended a finger!
And plugged the end of the tube!
Third Brother outside the window puffed up his cheeks and blew hard!
???
The next second, his face was full of question marks!
[・ _ ・ ?]
What the heck?
It didn't blow? What's going on?
Did I not have enough breath?
Let me try again!
I'll blow again!
Huh?
It still didn't blow!
(-_-) ゞ
Third Brother scratched his head, looking utterly confused.
"What... what the heck is happening?"
A black-clad man beside him urged, "Third Brother, what's wrong? Hurry up!"
Third Brother looked baffled. "I can't blow into it!"
The man mused, "Is the tube clogged? Take it out and check!"
Third Brother suddenly realized, pulled out the tube, and looked at it.
He was immediately dumbfounded!
"It's not clogged!"
The person next to him looked impatient.
"Move aside, you! I'll do it! Your lung capacity must be too small! Watch me!"
Another black-clad man nodded.
"Right, right! Second Brother is a professional at blowing pipes! He'll definitely succeed!"
Third Brother had no choice but to hand the tube to Second Brother.
Second Brother inserted the tube into the window, and Wei Xuan reached out and plugged it again!
Second Brother took a deep breath and blew fiercely into the tube!
His puffed-up cheeks didn't deflate at all, and he was straining so hard that his face turned red!
Second Brother yanked the tube out!
And cursed loudly!
"Damn it! What kind of broken thing is this! I can't blow into it at all!"
The leader of the black-clad men rubbed his forehead!
"Forget it, forget it. Let's just go straight in!"
With that, the four men pried open the window and quietly slipped inside one by one!
The moment they entered the room!
"Whoa! What is that smell!"
"Did a sour pickle jar spill?"
"This... can this level of stench really come from sweaty feet?"
Wei Xuan transformed into a thin, almost transparent cloud, following right behind the four men.
He furtively pulled out the Soul-Shattering feather duster!
The leader of the black-clad men looked at Xue Shuhan, who was snoring loudly on the bed, and sneered!
"He's certainly sleeping soundly! Go!"
Just as the other three were about to act,
At that moment, Wei Xuan, holding the feather duster, gave the leader of the black-clad men a fierce smack!
The slender bamboo handle silently sliced through the darkness, landing right on the man's butt!
"Smack!"
A crisp sound exploded in the darkness!
The leader's body trembled violently!
A blush instantly rose on his face!
"Mmm, ah~"
An incredibly alluring and seductive sound escaped his lips!
Terrified, he quickly covered his mouth!
His face was filled with horror!
The other three men shuddered!
Their heads mechanically turned around!
"Holy crap! Big Brother, you..."
"What was that sound..."
The leader's face was flushed red. He frantically scanned the room and said uncertainly, "I think someone just smacked my butt!"
The others looked around, but the empty room contained nothing!
They couldn't help but look at their Big Brother mockingly, a lewd smile appearing simultaneously on the corners of their mouths.
"Big Brother, I understand!"
"We all understand, we all understand!"
"Heh heh heh! Tsk tsk tsk~"
The leader was furious and roared, "Hurry up and get the job done!"
The other three men pouted and turned their heads back around!
Wei Xuan covered his mouth, stifling a laugh!
He had put the feather duster away the moment he struck. The room was already dim, and a tiny, faint cloud was completely invisible, ensuring he wouldn't be noticed.
Looking at the feather duster again, a small progress bar had appeared on the bamboo handle!
This must mean it was charged up!
Seeing that the black-clad men were about to move,
Wei Xuan aimed the feather duster at the black-clad leader again!
"Smack!"
"Ooh, ah~"
The black-clad leader immediately let out a comfortable moan!
He instantly clamped his mouth shut, whipped his head around, and found nothing there again!
His face was full of suspicion!
The other three men covered their mouths, stifling laughter, and turned around!
"Big Brother, control yourself! Whatever it is, save it for when we get back!"
"Can't you tell the difference between appropriate settings?"
The leader grew anxious!
"No! I really felt..."
"Someone smacked your butt?" the other three asked with lewd expressions.
The leader nodded vigorously, like a chick pecking rice.
"Heh~"
The three men chuckled lightly at the same time.
This is like watching an old lady crawl under the covers—it cracked me up!
