“What's wrong? Are you chickening out again?”

Chen Xiao asked provocatively.

“I'm not chickening out, I'm being realistic!”

This time, Su Meinan wasn't provoked. She said calmly, "Anyway, if you can help me destroy the Li family, my great revenge will be avenged. I'm willing to be your little follower. As for the Zhenwu Sect, let's forget about it."

As they spoke, they arrived near a mine.

Su Meinan pointed to the mine and said, "That's the spirit stone mine that the Li family seized. The Li family has a total of four Yuanying (Core Formation) stage retainers and thirty-odd Jindan (Golden Core) stage thugs. As far as I know, they leave about half of their manpower here to guard the mine. That means you'll be facing two Yuanying experts and no more than twenty Jindan thugs. How about it? Confident?"

Chen Xiao didn't bother answering such a question.

He flashed and disappeared. In less than ten seconds, he was back.

“Let's go.”

Chen Xiao said calmly.

“Go? Where to? Are you saying you want me to go with you? Please, I never said I’d fight alongside you…”

Su Meinan said with a look of distaste.

“Everyone inside has been killed by me. I’m taking you inside to take a look.”

Chen Xiao’s tone remained unchanged.

“Killed? Who are you kidding? You're telling me you killed two Yuanying experts in less than ten seconds? I don’t believe it!”

Su Meinan pouted, expressing her disbelief.

Chen Xiao walked towards the mine without bothering to explain.

Seeing this, Su Meinan had no choice but to follow.

Arriving near the mine, she saw twenty-odd corpses lying on the ground. No matter how much she doubted, Su Meinan had to believe that Chen Xiao had really killed them.

“You, how did you do it?”

Su Meinan examined the corpses. The two Yuanying cultivators were indeed among them. She was shocked, but also relieved.

It seemed she had made the right bet this time.

“Someone’s coming.”

Chen Xiao said suddenly.

“Who?”

Su Meinan was startled.

Immediately afterwards, a group of people surrounded them, including the black-clad men who had been chasing Su Meinan during the day.

“You little bastard, it’s one thing to steal spirit stones from the manor, but you’re actually setting your sights on the mine. Looks like you’re tired of living!”

The middle-aged Yuanying cultivator said with a sneer.

“Hmph, this mine originally belonged to our Su family. I’m just taking back what belongs to me!”

Having witnessed Chen Xiao's power, Su Meinan was full of confidence, chest out and head held high, like a proud little rooster.

“Heh, so you’re really that Su family brat. I had a feeling something was up!”

The middle-aged Yuanying cultivator wasn't too surprised. He had suspected that the little beggar's identity wasn't right. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have rushed to the spirit stone mine at night to investigate.

“You brat, return my magical artifact to me, and after you’ve cleaned yourself up, let me play with you for three days and three nights, and I’ll spare your dog life!”

“Bah! Keep dreaming!”

Su Meinan spat directly.

“Damn it, it looks like you’re really tired of living. Let’s see how you, a mere Jindan, can escape the combined attack of three Yuanying experts!”

Because it was dark and his attention wasn't on the ground, the middle-aged man didn't see the corpses on the ground.

“Heh, sorry… to be precise, it’s just you, one Yuanying!”

Su Meinan kicked a corpse at her feet, and the already dead Yuanying cultivator rolled in front of the middle-aged Yuanying cultivator.

“Huh? This is…”

Only then did the middle-aged Yuanying cultivator recognize the corpses on the ground. Immediately afterwards, he saw the ground was densely packed with corpses.

The two Yuanying cultivators and more than a dozen Jindan cultivators guarding the spirit stone mine were all dead.

“Not good, quickly go back and report to Master Li, summon reinforcements!”

The middle-aged Yuanying cultivator shouted.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

With a thought from Chen Xiao, the sound of *pu pu pu* echoed in the air.

Su Meinan was dumbfounded. Chen Xiao clearly didn't do anything, so why were these people turning into clouds of blood one after another? What was going on?

At this moment, Su Meinan was completely convinced of Chen Xiao's abilities and believed that he could help her avenge herself.

The following events were as smooth as cutting butter with a hot knife. Chen Xiao took Su Meinan back to Zhenwu Town and wreaked havoc at the Li family manor.

The Li family was wiped out, just like the Li family had treated the Su family in the past.

Chen Xiao's heart was without any ripples about this.

The law of the jungle was like this.

“What do you plan to do with the spirit stone mine?”

After helping Su Meinan avenge herself, Chen Xiao asked.

Su Meinan thought for a moment, gritted her teeth, and said, "I plan to destroy it. This spirit stone mine was ultimately discovered by our Su family. I don't want to benefit others!"

Although the Li family members were all dead, Su Meinan still didn't have the ability to take back the spirit stone mine.

Because once Li Beiwu learned that the Li family members were dead, he would definitely return to avenge his family.

If Su Meinan were to take over the spirit stone mine, it would be equivalent to waiting for death!

What's more, Chen Xiao had already helped her avenge herself, so it was her turn to fulfill her promise.

She would follow Chen Xiao's side and be his little follower.

“Destroy it? What a pity!”

Chen Xiao frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Find a place to rest for the night. Go to the spirit stone mine to find me tomorrow morning."

…

The next day, after dawn, Su Meinan went to the spirit stone mine to find Chen Xiao as instructed.

At this time, although she was still dressed as a man, she had changed into new clothes and taken a bath last night. She was clean and no longer the little beggar she was before.

Although she couldn't be considered a stunning beauty, she was pure and lovely, especially her big eyes, which seemed to contain a pool of clear spring water, making people feel pity for her.

Arriving near the spirit stone mine, Su Meinan felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on it.

"Brother Chen, I'm here. Are you here…"

Su Meinan shouted, and then saw a person covered in a black robe walking out of the mine.

Chen Xiao walked silently, giving people the feeling of seeing a ghost in broad daylight.

"Brother Chen, how many spirit stones did you mine last night? Did you mine enough? If you did, I'll destroy this mine!"

Su Meinan thought that Chen Xiao had been mining spirit stones here all night.

However, she was only half right. Chen Xiao stayed here indeed for the spirit stones, but not to mine them.

“There’s no need. The spirit stones in this mine have already been absorbed by me.”

Chen Xiao said lightly.

“Bro, Brother Chen… you, are you joking with me again?”

Having learned from yesterday's experience, Su Meinan didn't dare to say that Chen Xiao was bragging.

But even if she was beaten to death, she wouldn't believe that Chen Xiao could absorb the entire mine clean in just one night!
