Chapter 111: No Good Deed Done Today.


    Bing just got done taking care of the Sharp Jaw Wolves. His qi was nearly empty but his body was in perfect condition! He downed a Qi recovery pill to refuel his qi back to half and took a careful look around in his surroundings. So far, he couldnt spot or sense anyone nearby. If this task from the Mission Hall really was a trap, then now would be the perfect time for them to attack.


    As of now, Bing was checking the condition of the fallen Sharp Jaw Wolves. For those whose bodies were too damaged, he ate with his devil hand. Inside the den, Bing could hear several little growls and see a litter of silver eyes staring at him with hatred. If he wasnt so sure his karma would be reduced even lower, he would take care of the pups as well. Leaving little seeds like that were no doubt bad for his future. No sense leaving a dangerous problem alone when he could solve it when it wasnt dangerous at all.


    Im probably overthinking this... Theyre just animals. Heughed off his unease.


    Bing gathered the necessarynumberof wolves with good corpses and took out the capture spell. As he was putting them all into capture beads, he heard a sound behind him. His head instantly swiveled in that direction and his body puffed up with muscle.


    Thisrd ass already knew this was a trap. A voice suddenly said.


    Bing rose from the ground and stared in the direction where the voice came. He could still not spot anybody near him or sense them.


    Hes smarter than he looks. A girlish voiceughed.


    Not too smart to realize that hes already dead.


    Just as he said that, Bing could see his vision going blurry. Poison?! In the air?! The pudgy cultivator covered his mouth and nose with his hand but it was toote. The poison was already inside his body and he couldnt do anything anymore. Bing fell face first into the ground unconscious as 3 figures came out from the surroundings.


    To think this fat ass managed to get himself a bounty of 10 middle-grade spirit stones. We cant give him to Dark Hands for 50 low-grade spirit stones.


    Isnt it his lucky day to be caught by us? Instead of boiled alive like a pig and used as cultivator ingredients, he gets to be executed by the Huan n.


    You sound like a retard. He wasnt lucky at all. If he was lucky, he wouldve never taken the task from the Mission Hall.


    I was just saying...


    Maybe being eating alive by the wolves wouldve been the worst oue for him.


    It doesnt matter. Lets tie him up, return to the sect, and get in contact with the Huan n. They should be eager to get this fatty delivered to them on a silver te after losing one of theirmanders in the Treasured ins. Itll be a good way to boost moral again by killing someone whose been a thorn in their side for a while.


    Ill go to the Huan n.


    Ill watch the fatty.


    Ill cancel our deal with Dark Hands. They wouldnt dare try anything with me.


    Be careful, Jig.


    You too, Wolf. Jig said as he disappeared.


    Dont I get some words of caution too?! The young girl of the group shouted.


    You have to watch over a Qi Gatherer. Whats there to be cautious about, Chin?Wolf asked.


    Youll never understand a maidens heart... She pouted angrily.


    Save the nonsense forter. Lets get going already.


    Bing woke up with a start after realizing what happened to him. His eyes crazily darted around the pitch-ck room he was ced in. The round youths first thoughtswasif he was alive or not. That was quickly answered by lightly biting his tongue. After giving himself a few seconds to recover from the pain, he realized that his arms and legs have been tied together. Both of his arms were tied with a rope and both of his legs were tied with a rope, not his arms and legs were tied up and he was in some sort of pretzel shape. Bing wasnt bendable like that.


    Along with the bindings, several talismans were ced on his body. He could recognize a few of them. A qi draining spell, a strength limiting spell, and a slowness spell all on his body. Whoever these people were that kidnapped him must not be amateurs. With talismans like these at the ready, they had to have kidnapped all kinds of people. But why hadnt they killed him yet?


    Oh, youre awake. Thats quicker than normal.Usuallytheyd be out for hours. It was that girl from before he was poisoned.


    She walked into the room he was in and turned on the light, lighting up his surroundings. They ced him in some sortrge empty room. Nothing was inside it except for him tied up in a chair surrounded by big walls and the wooden door leading into the room. The girl in front of him was not anyone he recognized.


    Well? Arent you going to say anything? She yfully smiled, knowing he was curious about her and her groups intentions for him.


    Why have you captured me? He wasnt too sure why they didnt just kill him.


    Is it because of his connection with Jing or something else?


    You have quite the hit out on you tubby! For just being a Qi Gatherer, the bounty on your head isnt a small amount! You should be proud. Sheplimented him.


    If it wasnt required that you must be alive, we wouldnt have bothered carrying your heavy self all the way from the Immortal Forest. We wouldve just taken your head!


    So, this is because of the Huan n. Alright. That made Bing less nervous. He already nned to deal with the Huan n so, this was just another offense to add to the long list of offenses they made towards him.


    Saying it like that iskindastrange, dont you think? Why else would anyone be after a little Qi Gatherer like you? She asked.


    Bing stayed silent at this point. Since she didnt n to kill him, there wasnt a need to really conversate with her. Plus, she wasnt his type at all. Too childish, thin as a twig, and no chest whatsoever. Looking at her gave him no excitement at all, even in a tense situation like this.


    Ooh. Giving me the silent treatment huh? Must berealpopr with thedies, arent you? She asked, hitting him where it hurts.


    Chin. Ive readied the deal with the Huan n. Lets drop him off and get our payment. Park spoke.


    Good. I was getting sick of this tubby anyway! Hes no fun at all. She blew a kiss in his direction and everything got fuzzy again.


    Hes definitely got to figure out a way tobat poison for the future... He should ask the Empress about it when she forces a task on him. Maybe as a reward she could give him a spirit tool that makes him immune to poisons or something. His body might be strong but it wasnt powerful enough to handle poisons it seems.


    Wake up Fat Ass! Bing felt a sharp p on his cheek.


    Whats going on!? He sat straight up and felt his skull smash against the person that woke him up.


    Hahaha. I didnt think you had it in you. To bring us straight into a fight like this! I dont know how you do it but yougottateach me how you get into shit so often! Hu Tao said before running off fighting several cultivators dressed in dark ck garbs.


    Bing! There you are! Get off your butt and start telling us what the hell did you do! Ying grabbed his arm and nearly wrenched it out of its socket by pulling him to his feet.


    Thats what I want to know! I just woke up and dont know whats going on! I only asked you guys for help because I got poisoned and was going to get kidnapped or killed! Bing told her.


    He messaged the group for help once he realized that he was poisoned back in the Immortal Forest.


    Dark Hands? Jings voice caught his ear.


    Yes. They are a notorious group known to deal in all sorts of despicable acts. Murder, assassinations, kidnapping, robbery, anything for the right price is their motto. Wan Qing ryed.


    So that means Bing wasnt their objective. He just got caught up in all this. Lets get out of here then. Jingmanded as a member of Dark Hands tried to cut her head off from behind.


    With a leisure block with her hand covered in water behind her head, the sword sh was blocked. In that quick moment of blocking the assassins de, she severed his head from his body with a sh of her water-covered palm.


    Everyonestandaround me. Jing pulled out a few movement talismans and everyone but Hu Tao did as she said.


    What about Hu Tao? Bing asked.


    What about him? Ying asked back. Hes having the time of his life fighting those guys.


    And fair enough, a huge grin was stered on Hu Taos face as he ripped through both the Huan n and Dark Hands cultivators.


    I see what you mean... He silenced himself and everyone but Hu Tao was teleported outside Jings home.


    Thanks foring to save me everyone... Bing told them all.


    If you want to pay me back, cookfor Ni Xong sometimes. Wan Qing said before walking off.


    Buy me something to help me understand fire better. Ying told him.


    You dont have to owe me anything Bing. Lei smiled.


    Did I ever tell you how much you mean to me Lei? Bing said with tears in his eyes.


    Dont act like I was asking for too much! Ying yelled.


    Of course not. He immediately bowed for forgiveness.


    Im not threatening you! Quit acting like I''m going to hit you for every little thing!


    He stayed silent this time.


    Next time you get kidnapped make sure to get kidnapped by people with some wealth or background. Now get from my house. Jing said to them all.


    Yes, Empress! Bing responded as Lei and Ying snickered at how over the top he was with Jing.
