"Forget it, you brat. Treat her wounds first. I know you can't bring yourself to kill a pretty girl."
The tone shifted abruptly, and Ren Yuanhao guessed that the system miss was eyeing his points.
"Speak, what kind of divine healing item can be used?"
"Ice Skin Jade Bone Ointment, 100 points is enough. I also suggest you spend 1000 points to upgrade the system's defense mechanism, so you don't encounter that ultrasonic device and get caught so passively."
"Alright, I'll listen to you. That device is indeed tricky. It's been bothering me so much lately that I can't even sleep properly."
"Okay, shut up for now. Take the medicine and get out there to save your girl. The system is going to shut down temporarily for an upgrade."
"Wait," Ren Yuanhao looked at his remaining 400 points and panicked slightly, "By the way, can Gu Yaoshi open the DiDi dating service?"
"Of course, but the mission difficulty in that complex area won't be easy." Da Feng Novel Network
"The corresponding points will be higher, right? What are you afraid of? Oh, right, I suggest the system miss release a push notification service, including new item alerts and stuff~"
"You're quite demanding. Do you want me to create a bargaining system for you?"
After saying this, the system miss forcefully ejected Ren Yuanhao from the virtual space.
"As always, she's so sharp."
Ren Yuanhao clutched the 'Ice Skin Jade Bone Ointment' in his hand and looked at the wound cut open by his Wuji Blade, his face blushing all the way to his ears.
After all, that location~
"Saving someone is the priority. I can't worry about men and women not touching each other."
Ren Yuanhao carefully pulled apart the female thief's clothes and shakily applied the ointment to the wound. Before he could finish, he saw the female thief's brows furrowed, her small mouth opening and closing as if murmuring something.
"No, don't~ I can save you!"
The female thief suddenly grabbed the corner of Ren Yuanhao's clothes. It was unclear if it was due to extreme pain or the terrifying scenes in her nightmare.
Ren Yuanhao shook his head. Looking at the woman's pitiable appearance, he felt a pang of self-reproach. Moreover, from her murmuring, it seemed she had some unspoken difficulties.
—Ren Yuanhao, oh Ren Yuanhao, you seem to be meddling too much. You're in trouble yourself right now. Mandala Gene is enough for you to handle. Wrap up the wound and leave quickly.
A moment later, after applying the ointment, Ren Yuanhao left the inn and got some bandages from the pharmacy.
"Sigh, what a bother. I didn't expect being cut by this knife to be so troublesome."
Ren Yuanhao twisted the doorknob and as he pushed the door open, he felt a chill on his neck. Just as he was about to look down, he heard a soft command.
"Don't move."
Ren Yuanhao didn't dare to move and didn't. He said glibly, "Oh? Do you want me to raise my hands too?"
"Close the door." The woman's voice was very soft.
"Yes, yes, yes, you're in charge."
Ren Yuanhao closed the door, and the room immediately became dim.
"Where is the item?" The woman pressed the blade against Ren Yuanhao's neck. The blade cut into his skin, and blood began to flow.
Ren Yuanhao thought to himself, Miss, you're injured right now, and you're my defeated opponent. My chance of turning the tables is quite high. Do you think a knife alone can give you the advantage?
That's true, but Ren Yuanhao was never the kind of man who only told women to drink more hot water.
"Young lady, why do you need such a dangerous item?"
The woman's brows furrowed, and she said coldly, "The dead don't need to know the reason."
—Holy crap? That's my line! Author, come out, let's have a serious talk.
Ren Yuanhao looked at the woman and felt as if he was looking in a mirror.
"Hey, I heard all your mumbling just now. If I'm not mistaken, you're in desperate need of money, aren't you?"
"It's none of your business. Where is the item?"
The woman's blade moved closer.
A腥气 (bloody smell) spread, and the room was filled with a mixture of iodine and blood.
"With your current injuries and carrying this thing, it'll be difficult to leave Sand City alive."
"What's it to you?"
"Hey, woman, don't push your luck. Don't think I can't do anything about you."
As soon as Ren Yuanhao finished speaking, he raised his hand and flicked the woman's wrist holding the knife. Before the blade could be knocked away, Ren Yuanhao wrapped his arm around her waist and swept her into his arms in a princess carry.
"You~!"
"What about me? Don't worry, I'm not interested in women."
Ren Yuanhao shamelessly started to put himself down. With a flick of his finger, he immediately sealed the woman's acupoints, rendering her completely immobile.
"You~ let me go."
"Say one more word, and I'll stuff your mouth too." Ren Yuanhao placed her on the bed. "Excuse me."
He tore open the purchased bandages, his movements extremely gentle. At first, the woman continued to speak profanities, but later, as if she had run out of strength, she simply fell silent, letting Ren Yuanhao's hands move across her skin.
"Done."
Ren Yuanhao clapped his hands, not noticing the wound on his own neck.
"Why?" The woman showed a pained expression.
"What why? I don't kill women, especially beautiful ones."
"Those words might make people think you're a lecher." The woman seemed to have calmed down slightly.
Ren Yuanhao spread his hands. "I'm sorry, many women have said that, but I don't plan to change."
The woman was silent for about ten seconds, then said, "Those things are very important to me."
"Let me make one thing clear: don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're good-looking. Even if you beg me, I won't hand those things over to you. However~" Ren Yuanhao really wanted to slap himself, but the speed of slapping was far less than that damned thinking and language system. "However, I think I can help you."
"Help me? Who do you think you are?"
The woman snorted coldly.
"You want this item, you're doing it for money, right? Things that can be solved with money are not problems." Ren Yuanhao
"Yes, I originally thought money could solve it, but I realized I was wrong. The only thing that can save them is this Mandala Gene."
This was the first time Ren Yuanhao had heard of the Mandala Gene being able to save people. He frowned and said, "Do you know what this is? Its existence will only open hell, and countless evil spirits will roam the world. Save people? Are you stupid!"
"Hell? Isn't hell already in the human world?"
The woman's words instantly made Ren Yuanhao's head spin. What followed was even more chilling!
"Don't talk to me about hell. I came from that place. Looking at you, you must be a carefree young master, right? What do you understand? You're just a rich kid who's lived in a swaddling blanket his whole life!"
