Black Myth: Starting from the Destined One

Chapter 25: Chapter 25 Dumbass vs. Master Chapter 25: Chapter 25 Dumbass vs. Master But as soon as the lackey entered, he saw Head Chief Li Ping’an, and the Second-in-command was nowhere to be found.

“Not good!”

The little lackey gave Li Ping’an an awkward smile and then turned to run.

“Did the Second-in-command have some good news he didn’t share with you?”

Li Ping’an sensed something off about this little lackey, lunged forward, and grabbed him by the collar to interrogate:

“Spill it now!”

“Hehe…”

The little lackey smiled awkwardly, his eyes darting around, evading the truth, and showing no intention of coming clean.

“So, you don’t regard me, the Gang Leader, in your eyes, huh?”

Li Ping’an immediately exerted the authority of the Axe Guild Gang Leader, and fiercely threatened:

“Disrespecting the Gang Leader? Then I have no choice but to punish you according to our rules! Choose from Three Knives Six Eyes, Rolling Nail Bed, or Oil Cauldron Torture!”

“Gang Leader, spare me!”

Frightened by Li Ping’an, the lackey finally confessed:

“Gang Leader, please don’t say it was me who told you, the Second-in-command had an idiot add Indecent Immovable, the world’s top aphrodisiac, to your master’s bath water ahead of time. Anyone who touches it would… lose themselves, become overwhelmed with spring desires, uncontrollably indulging in lewd acts…”

“Damn it, it’s a rebellion then! You think my words are farts, huh!”

Only then did Li Ping’an realize, remembering these people were a bunch of shameless, immoral lowlifes, who couldn’t even be tempted by the Six Demons of Wuxing Mountain. They were despised by both gods and men, and rejected by heaven and earth.

Zixia previously intended to kill them, and she shouldn’t have shown any pity or sympathy. A wave of infinite hatred surged in his heart.

Worried about Zixia’s chastity being compromised, he rushed toward her room as if flying, as even a moment’s delay could lead to disaster.

Just as Li Ping’an sprinted near Zixia’s room, the Second-in-command, Third-in-command, and a few lackeys were panic-stricken, running in his direction:

“Gang Leader! Gang Leader! Your master is going to kill us!”

The Second-in-command, Third-in-command, and the lackeys shouted as they ran.

“You beasts still have the face to say that? Don’t you know why my master wants to kill you?”

Li Ping’an immediately stopped the Second-in-command, the Third-in-command, and others, and angrily questioned:

“Did you put something like the world’s top aphrodisiac, Indecent Immovable, in my master’s bathing water?”

“…”

The Second-in-command, Third-in-command, and the lackeys immediately halted and hung their heads, none daring to make a sound.

Then, behind them came the angry shout of Zixia:

“Perverts! Come out here!”

“Gang Leader, it was me who added the Indecent Immovable for your master, but we didn’t succeed. Just as we were about to peek while she was bathing, she noticed us. If she finds us, we brothers are done for!”

The Second-in-command said fearfully, then signaled with his eyes to the Third-in-command, who immediately pleaded to Li Ping’an:

“Gang Leader, you should explain the situation to your master first, and then dealing with the Second-in-command won’t be too late!”

Second-in-command, Third-in-command, and the others had finished speaking and scattered like birds and beasts before Zixia could arrive and catch them.

“Damn it! These animals! Worse than bandits! I should have let Master kill them all from the start! Fortunately, they didn’t succeed, but now I have to clean up their mess! Ugh!”

Li Ping’an planned to stabilize Zixia’s emotions before going to settle accounts with the Second-in-command, the Third-in-command, and others, so he ran towards the direction where Zixia was searching for the peepers.

Although Zixia was holding dual swords, looking uncontrollably angry, she was fully clothed, having only removed her hair crown and letting her hair down. It seemed that the Second-in-command hadn’t lied; Zixia must have noticed their intentions to peep on her bathing just as she was about to undress.

“Master, it’s all because I failed to supervise my disciples properly, almost letting these animals succeed…”

Li Ping’an hurried to explain, but just as he had spoken halfway, Zixia put away one sword and slapped Li Ping’an across the face.

With a snap, the sound crisp and clear, Li Ping’an was stunned.

“Zixia, why are you hitting me for no reason!”

Li Ping’an roared at Zixia, who struck without distinction, touching his burning cheek. Needless to say, it was painful and even felt unusually moist.

This meant that Zixia had just dipped her hand in water mixed with the aphrodisiac Indecent Immovable.

“You ask why I hit you?”

Zixia gritted her teeth, her face pale, trembling with anger:

“Wasn’t it you, you lecher, hiding in the dark wanting to peep at me bathing?”

“Hey, hey, hey! Stop falsely accusing me! Which eye of yours saw me peeping at you? Besides, it’s not like I haven’t seen you naked before! Why would I need to peep!”

Feeling wronged, Li Ping’an truly exploded, yelling at Zixia:

“It was the Second-in-command and the Third-in-command who wanted to peep on you bathing. Moreover, they even put the world’s number one aphrodisiac, Indecent Immovable, in your bathwater. If I hadn’t arrived just in time, you would have been… done for…”

“If that’s true, it’s still because you didn’t supervise them strictly!”

“Come on! How is that my fault? I’m telling you one last time; my name is Li Ping’an, not some damn Supreme Treasure, and I don’t even know them. They have nothing to do with me; they got the wrong person!”

“You animal, don’t think I don’t know what you’re like! It was obviously you peeping at me bathing. When I caught you, you still claimed it was your men who added that unspeakable spring drug… You deserve to die!”

Just as Zixia was about to slap Li Ping’an again, overwhelmed with agitation, she suddenly fainted.

Li Ping’an quickly caught her, feeling as if holding a delicate jade. He gently sniffed, continually inhaling her fragrance.

“Hahaha! Gang Leader, the effects of Indecent Immovable have taken hold! As per the old rules, let’s do it together!”

Suddenly, the Second-in-command, the Third-in-command, and a few henchmen appeared out of nowhere, rubbing their hands and rushing over with lewd smiles.

Li Ping’an had initially thought the Second-in-command and the Third-in-command were joking, only peeking, without using the world’s number one aphrodisiac, Indecent Immovable. Yet, Zixia did fall victim to it.

“Zixia, such a cautious person who even demons couldn’t take advantage of, ended up easily tricked by these animals!”

“Damn, real idiots ruining the master!”

Li Ping’an, who dearly pitied Zixia, now wished he could beat these greedy, lustful, despicable cowards to death.

Although extremely angry, he knew what was most urgent was to get an antidote for Zixia immediately, so he contained his raging fury and glared at the Second-in-command, angrily demanding:

“You beast, where’s the antidote!”

Listening to the voice filled with suppressed anger, the despicable Second-in-command remained unbothered and even bragged:

“Boss, the aphrodisiac your master is affected by is the top aphrodisiac Indecent Immovable, colorless, tasteless, dissolves upon contact with water. It’s not just about ingestion, even slight skin contact would turn her into the world’s number one provocateur! Hahaha!”
