Oh no! I, the weakling, have become the villain!

Chengfeng looked around warily, ready to fight at any moment.

Seeing their expressions, Chongyu snorted coldly, her eyes full of disdain.

Looking at Chong Yu's eyes made Xu Yao's fists itch, and he had an urge to punch Chong Yu to death. However, no matter what, this was someone else's territory, so he decided to let it go.

Xu Yao suppressed his anger, turned to look at Chong Yu and was about to speak when a group of people came down from upstairs and knelt down on one knee in front of Chong Feng.

"Owner!"

Chongfeng hummed in agreement and asked, "How is Fengyao?"

The group stood up, and the person on the far side sighed, his face full of helplessness.

"Feng Yao is still the same; no matter how much we call her, we can't wake her up."

Upon hearing this, a hint of panic flashed in Chongfeng's eyes, though it quickly disappeared, but Xu Yao still noticed it.

Feng Yao, that sounds like a woman's name. Isn't Shadow Tower an assassin organization? Aren't assassin organizations supposed to be emotionless killing machines?

Even he knew this, how could Chongfeng not know it?

Because they only care about money, not people. Even if it's their own father, they'll do whatever they want if he's on the death list.

Now what's going on?

Little lover?

Xu Yao felt like he had stumbled upon a major juicy story.

Chongfeng turned to look at Xu Yao and said coldly, "Come with me."

After saying that, Chongfeng went upstairs, and Xu Yao hesitated for a moment before following closely behind.

Chen Feng and Cheng Feng also wanted to go in, but they were stopped by the people from the Shadow Tower before they had taken two steps.

Chen Feng frowned, a hint of displeasure on his face, and turned to look at Chong Yu.

"Is this how you, Shadow Tower, treat your guests?"

Chongyu didn't respond; she just stood there.

Before Chen Feng could say anything more, Chong Yu turned around and looked at Chen Feng and Cheng Feng.

"You two are not guests, understand?"

After saying that, he turned to the person who had just replied and said, "Uncle Tu, I'm leaving these two to you. No matter what, you absolutely cannot let them get away."

Chongtu nodded and said, "Don't worry, it's just two people, I can manage that."

Chongyu hummed in agreement, turned around, and walked out.

upstairs.

Once he reached the second floor, Xu Yao realized what horror truly meant. The second floor was filled with skulls everywhere. When he passed the first room, he saw two cabinets full of skulls, all neatly arranged on them.

Not only that, there was also a cabinet on the opposite side, which was filled with weapons.

Xu Yao paused upon seeing these skulls. Chong Feng followed Xu Yao's gaze and, seeing the skulls, said with a bored expression, "Those are all people on the death list. Some of the bodies were taken back, while the skulls are kept here as a collection."

“Those weapons were all used by these people in their lifetime. Since they are their weapons, it is only right that they be placed with them.”

Why collect these things?

Xu Yao now suspects that the people in Dark Shadow Tower might all have some serious illness.

The doors in front were all open, but Xu Yao didn't dare to look inside and could only follow behind Chong Feng.

Upon reaching the innermost room, Xu Yao smelled a strong aroma of medicinal herbs even before Chong Feng had opened the door.

They went inside, and there was a little girl of about three years old lying on the bed, with an old man standing next to her.

Seeing the fear on Old Man Chongfeng's face, he knelt down before Chongfeng could even open his mouth.

"OP, I've really done everything I could, but the little girl still hasn't woken up and I don't know what to do."

"But don't worry, I will keep this girl alive and find an antidote as soon as possible to bring her back to her senses."

The man's voice even had a hint of a sob in it; who knew he would be brought here while he was sleeping at home.

He was truly wronged, and he could have lost his life in the blink of an eye. He was incredibly unlucky.

To think I'd run into such a patriarch.

Chongfeng looked at the old man with disgust.

This person is Feng Huo, a sixth-grade alchemist. It was only because Chong Feng thought he was a sixth-grade alchemist that he brought him here.

It's ridiculous that they can't even find the reason for the fire being sealed off!

Chongfeng ignored him and turned to look at Xu Yao.

Go and check on her condition.

Xu Yao had been watching the little girl the whole time. Feng Yao lay on the bed as if she were asleep, and her face showed no signs of weakness.

She even had a sweet smile on her face.

Xu Yao raised his hand and touched his chin. Upon hearing Chong Feng's words, he immediately walked over, sat down next to Feng Yao, and placed his hand on her wrist.

He breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Feng Yao had a pulse, as long as it wasn't the one he was thinking of.

Xu Yao raised his head, wanting to speak, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he remembered something.

He came here to treat this little girl, that's true, but after all he's done, he should at least get some compensation for his hard work, right?

Wouldn't this mean the whole trip was for nothing?

Xu Yao smiled at Chong Feng, then rubbed his fingers together, his meaning quite clear.

"Sure, sure, but this..."

"Easy to say?"

Feng Huo turned his head and looked at Xu Yao with dissatisfaction. He was a sixth-grade alchemist and had shown the alchemy to Feng Yao, but he had no clue. Xu Yao was actually saying it was easy to talk about.

Just kidding?

Hearing Xu Yao say this, Chong Feng was also a little surprised. He had even prepared for the worst, but now Xu Yao was actually saying something nice to him.

He had seen Xu Yao refine the Foundation Establishment Pill yesterday, and he believed in Xu Yao's abilities.

This relieved Chongfeng, who said, "How about ten thousand taels of gold if you can wake her up?"

Ten thousand taels!

Upon hearing this, Xu Yao's eyes lit up. He wouldn't have cared about 10,000 taels of silver, since it was just the price of a few pills. He already had at least tens of thousands of taels of silver notes on him.

But this is gold!!

It has to be said that Shadow Tower is really rich. With money in front of them, Xu Yao found Feng much more agreeable.

Much better than that Blood Demon!

With this money, he'll definitely splurge after leaving the Blood Demon Hall and live the life of a rich man!

Hearing this, Feng Huo became even more envious. He had been here for several days and Chong Feng had not mentioned avenging him. Xu Yao, on the other hand, received ten thousand taels of gold as soon as he arrived. Why was that?

Feng Huo looked at Chong Feng and immediately said, "Master, this man is definitely a fraud. He only took a look and hasn't even woken the girl up yet. How could he give him ten thousand taels of gold?"

At first, Xu Yao could pretend he hadn't heard anything, but since this person called him a liar, Xu Yao's expression immediately turned displeased.

He stood up and looked coldly at Feng Huo, saying, "You must be an alchemist too, right?"

Although there was no alchemy furnace here, he could still smell the fragrance of pills from Feng Huo.

It's very strong, giving off a cheap vibe.
