"Brother Gun, please wait for this junior to pour the wine for you." Rayu Gada poured wine for Gun Pu, who was relaxing on her bed, his dirty legs resting on her pristine white bedsheet. It hurt her seeing oily dirt leaking from his feet into her bed, but what could she do?

Gun Pu slapped the bed next to him. "Come here, and pour the wine into my mouth."

Rayu Gada shook her head.

Gun Pu slammed his arm on the bed. "Are you declining just because I'm not handsome enough like your brother Gu? I'm way better than him in everything."

Rayu Gada sighed. This bastard had been trying to get in her bed for so long, and she had tactically kept him away with the help of brother Gu and sometimes scaring him with her close connection with sister Wang Renmei. However, this bastard's impudence was increasing day by day and today he dared to storm in her hut and ask her to pour him wine.

"Brother Gun, this wouldn't be appropriate. I'm married to brother Gu, so he wouldn't like anyone in my hut. Please try to understand our conditions."

"Bitch, you aren't married to him yet. So, you are a fair game, and how much longer you can run away from me?" Gun Pu chuckled, his dirty yellow teeth peering out of his mouth.

Rayu Gada frowned. If she had a poison on her, she would have dropped it into the wine and poured it into his mouth with her own hands. Just because senior sister Wang Renmei used this brute for some work didn't mean he could touch her, Rayu Gada.

But then someone else had trampled over her already. That masked figure had stolen the herbs from her, and it was going to be a big issue once senior sister Wang Renmei ask for the accounts.

"Come here, bitch. Just suck my cock and I'll let you go…" Gun Pu lowered his pants, trying to pull his manhood out.

"Damn it." Rayu Gada got up, the wine glass dropping out of her hand. Suddenly she smelled something sweet permeating her nose and a stomach cramp took over her.

"Damn it. Why did it come so early?" She rubbed her stomach to ease the pain.

"What is this smell? This is so nice…"

Rayu Gada felt a cramp in her gut and then in her throat. This wasn't the monthly cramp, but something else.

The smell.

She glanced around and saw a small pipe sneaking into the hut and it was releasing the red gas.

"Poi…" She wanted to cry out but her heart gave up and she fell forward and the last thing she saw was Gun Pu's dirty manhood. Even in death, she might not forget the humiliation she suffered today.

A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.

Through the darkness beyond the hut, Aiden watched the pair collapse inside the tent, their skin darkening to an inky hue. They were dead, and the poison had worked its wonders in just a few seconds. Until they died, they hadn't seen the real killer, him, so no one could connect their deaths to Aiden.

Aiden's mind lit up with a vast set of information flowing inside. The knowledge about void, and this was more than the skills he had already learned. It was like understanding something different from what he knew. Something precious.

Somehow, he knew this skill would work wonders. Why and how - he didn't know, but he had this gut feeling about this.

Was it because it was a set skill? This was going to be interesting. This was a new concept and so far he hadn't seen anything in old man Li's memories about the set skills.

Sneering, he spun around to use Corpse Bloom, but hesitated. It could be risky. If anyone - and he was sure someone will - looked into the killings, they might pick up on the dark realm skill, and he'd be in hot water if that occurred.

"It's not worth. I can always track their graves and then use the Corpse Bloom on them. It would be much easier that way." Aiden chuckled as he turned away while he lowered his mask to take a deep breath. The mask felt plush against his skin, yet it still made him feel constricted within. Its gentle texture couldn't mask the discomfort that crept through his body.

"You, who are you?" A guy leaped at him, his sword out, seeing a beam of white energy at him. The opponent had attacked at point blank range, and the beam came at his chest so fast that Aiden didn't have a chance to dodge it.

System: Sword Qi skill is used. Do you want to deconstruct the skill?

"Yes."

A bunch of notifications appeared in his vision, but he ignored them. This wasn't the time for it.

"Void Shield," Aiden muttered and a formless energy spread in front of his chest and the white energy vanished into the formless energy.

"What did you do? How can you negate my attack?" The guy's face darkened as he retreated a step.

Aiden didn't give him any chance of running away. He charged ahead, his muscles coiling up like a spring as he leaped into the air. The wind whistled past his ears, and he felt a surge of adrenaline coursing through his veins. His heart raced, each thump reverberating loudly in his ears.

The enemy raised his sword, but Aiden moved with lightning speed, his knee connecting first as he slammed his opponent into the ground. The impact sent the dust flying around, but in the dark of the night, no one found anything. Well, no one dared to enter the Line of Poverty, so it worked in Aiden's favor.

Aiden's fist slammed into his foe's throat, sending him crumpling down to the ground. The man had seen Aiden's face, leaving no choice but to silence him forever. He had to die, and the best way would be eating a poison pill, but that could trap Aiden further, so he had to take it more seriously.

"Damn it." The enemy was a dead weight on him. In old man Li's memories he had found that the sect had a way to reply the dying soul's last memory, so Aiden had to make it an accident.

This was bad. He didn't want to do that, but he had no other option, so he grabbed the guy and put him on his shoulder. The moonless night shrouded the path to his secret cave. Aiden moved cautiously, alert for any sign of movement that could give him away.

The night was still young, and he completely missed a silhouette watching him from the shadows.
