665: Chapter 665: I Shall Return in Seven Days 665: Chapter 665: I Shall Return in Seven Days “Mr.
Hans, you might have misunderstood, I no longer want the fifty million US dollars, but I am not offering to protect you and your family for free!”
Although Bai Xiaofan had never been involved in any business dealings, he could tell that Hans had probably misunderstood.
Thus, he smiled faintly and spoke softly to the other party.
“So, Mr.
Gulik, may I know what your demands are…”
Hans asked cautiously.
“I require an ancient Snow Lotus and a certain quantity of Ashura Blood!”
Although Bai Xiaofan couldn’t see Hans and Bick, the eyes behind his sunglasses were still fixed in the direction of the two men.
Upon hearing Bai Xiaofan’s words, both Hans and Bick were stunned.
They had an ancient Snow Lotus on hand, which could be produced at any time.
But wasn’t the Ashura Blood far too horrifying?
One must know that Ashura Blood is made by finely processing the blood of more than fifty kinds of ferocious beasts found at the bottom of the sea.
To say nothing of a certain quantity, even a little bit of it was incredibly precious.
The reason it was so valuable, aside from the extreme difficulty in obtaining it,
was that Ashura Blood had a particularly notable effect in treating injuries.
It wasn’t an exaggeration to say, as long as you were still alive, even if you were hanging on to just a breath of life, taking medicine refined with Ashura Blood would definitely bring you back from the brink.
Therefore, the value of a certain quantity of Ashura Blood was by no means less than fifty million US dollars!
So, upon hearing Bai Xiaofan’s words, Hans and Bick were both stupefied!
Fifty million US dollars were readily available at any time, and their Farrel family didn’t care about it.
But the Ashura Blood was not something that could be purchased at any given moment.
“Think it over, and if you agree, let me know, but I can tell you that if you are willing to exchange it for Ashura Blood, my injuries will have healed by then, and even if I am still blind, my combat power will indeed be three to four times higher than it is now!”
Even without seeing their expressions, Bai Xiaofan could sense that Ashura Blood seemed to pose some difficulty for them.
Therefore, he softly spoke and prepared to stand up and leave.
“Mr.
Gulik, are you certain that after taking the Ashura Blood, your combat power can increase by three or four times as you said?”
Hearing Bai Xiaofan’s words and seeing that he was about to leave with Xiao Mei’s assistance,
Hans hastily stopped Bai Xiaofan and asked in a low voice.
“Of course, but it also requires the ancient Snow Lotus to work in conjunction, as my injuries are quite severe!”
Bai Xiaofan nodded and did not turn around.
He maintained a posture ready to depart at any moment.
“Alright, I agree to both the Ashura Blood and the ancient Snow Lotus.
I’ll have Bick fetch them now.
Please wait a moment, Mr.
Gulik!”
Seeing Bai Xiaofan’s affirmative response and considering the substantial increase in his combat power that would result, Hans also decided to take the plunge.
It was just a certain quantity of Ashura Blood, after all.
Though it was difficult to obtain, it simply couldn’t be compared with life itself.
Bick left the room, presumably to go to the storeroom for the items.
Bai Xiaofan once again sat back in his seat, quietly waiting.
Before long, Bick returned, carrying two items in his hands.
One was a wooden box containing the ancient Snow Lotus.
The other was a small bottle filled with Ashura Blood.
This small bottle contained approximately 50 milliliters.
“I will come after seven days,”
Bai Xiaofan said in a low voice after arranging the items.
Then he turned and left with Xiao Mei.
Seeing Bai Xiaofan leaving, Hans really wanted to ask him to stay for the whole seven days at his residence.
But after thinking it over, it seemed unnecessary.
Moreover, he believed that Bai Xiaofan wouldn’t be the kind of person to break a promise.
After all, these internationally renowned assassins all pay great attention to their reputations.
Having returned home with Xiao Mei, Bai Xiaofan went straight to his room alone.
He sat down cross-legged and thought for a moment, then called over Xiao Mei.
He instructed Xiao Mei to divide the thousand-year-old snow lotus into forty-nine pieces, exactly seven by seven.
Then he evenly dispersed the small bottle of Asura blood onto each piece of the thousand-year-old snow lotus.
Only then did Bai Xiaofan start to mobilize the celestial elements within his body, beginning to refine the forty-nine pieces of thousand-year-old snow lotus that had been soaked in Asura blood!
Xiao Mei stood by quietly watching, her beautiful eyes shimmering with amazement.
She watched as the pieces of thousand-year-old snow lotus slowly melted and blended with the Asura blood, eventually solidifying into substance.
A fragrance of medicine slowly wafted out, permeating the room.
Bai Xiaofan finished refining the forty-nine pills in three batches.
“Take this one, it’s got a stronger effect, it could save your life at a critical moment!”
Bai Xiaofan tossed the last refined pill to Xiao Mei.
He then consumed one of the pills himself and started to cultivate in the seated position.
Xiao Mei carefully stored the pill and also sat not far from Bai Xiaofan to cultivate on her own.
For three consecutive days, Bai Xiaofan did not move an inch.
Apart from occasionally consuming a healing pill, he made no other moves.
Xiao Mei wasn’t like him; she cultivated when it was time to cultivate and ate meals as normal.
One morning, Bai Xiaofan slowly came out of his meditative state.
Feeling the once again full celestial element within his body, Bai Xiaofan’s mood improved somewhat.
And according to his observation, it seemed that his eyes were indeed awakening.
And they were progressing in a good direction.
At this rate, Bai Xiaofan estimated that it would take another half a month for his eyesight to return to normal.
“Are your injuries all healed?”
Xiao Mei noticed the aura emanating from Bai Xiaofan and asked quietly.
“Yeah, after taking more than a dozen pills, if I’m not healed by now, I would really start to doubt if that old man Hans gave me fake Asura blood!”
Bai Xiaofan nodded, stood up, and stretched lazily.
“How many days are left before Fei Li goes to assassinate Hans?”
“Over three days.”
“Mmm, then you’ll accompany me for the next few days.
It’s a shame, my first trip to Rome and I can’t see a thing.”
“No worries, I’ll describe it to you!”
After they made their plans, Bai Xiaofan changed into a new set of clothes.
With Xiao Mei’s support, the two of them left their residence together.
Just as they left the yard, Bai Xiaofan sensed that two presences not far away were watching them.
But the aura of these two people was relatively weak, and their cultivation probably wasn’t very high.
“Look at your three o’clock direction, there are two people keeping an eye on us!”
Bai Xiaofan warned Xiao Mei in a soft voice.
After all, since he was blind, he would still have to rely on Xiao Mei to deal with any sudden situations.
So Bai Xiaofan thought it necessary to give her a heads-up.
