Black Myth: The Legend of Tianpeng Seeking Demons

Hu Meiniang pulled a... high heel from her bag!

"This is..." Linda and Fang Zijian were both stunned, not understanding what Hu Meiniang was going to do.

Hu Meiniang took off her other high heel and then slammed the heels of both shoes together forcefully!

"Dang! Dang! Dang!"

The sharp, piercing sound instantly echoed throughout the restaurant, causing everyone to instinctively cover their ears.

"Ah!!!" Zhu Feifei, who was running wildly, heard this sound and immediately stopped as if he had been electrocuted. He covered his ears, squatted on the ground in pain, and showed a painful expression on his face.

"It works!" Hu Meiniang was overjoyed when she saw this, and continued to tap her heels hard.

"Dang! Dang! Dang!"

"Stop banging! Stop banging! I can't take it anymore!" Zhu Feifei wailed in pain as his body began to shrink, and his pig head slowly returned to human form.

"What... what's going on?" Fang Zijian stared in disbelief at the incredible scene before him.

"Hmph, that's his weakness!" Hu Meiniang snorted coldly, then stopped striking.

Zhu Feifei finally returned to human form. He sat weakly on the ground, panting heavily, with an expression of relief on his face.

"Are you alright?" Hu Meiniang stepped forward and asked with concern.

"N-nothing...it's nothing." Zhu Feifei shook her head, then looked at the high heels in Hu Meiniang's hand and said with lingering fear, "What...what kind of weapon is that? How is it so powerful?"

“This isn’t a weapon, it’s my high heels,” Hu Meiniang said. “I read in the ‘Encyclopedia of Monsters’ that pig demons are afraid of sharp sounds, so I tried it out, and it actually worked.”

"The Encyclopedia of Yokai?" Fang Zijian's eyes flashed with a strange light when he heard the name.

"You... how do you have something like this?" Zhu Feifei asked in surprise. This was something from the Moonlight Ring!

"I'll explain this to you later," Hu Meiniang said. "Right now, let's deal with the problem at hand."

She turned around, looked at Fang Zijian, and said coldly, "Mr. Fang, do you have anything else to say?"

Seeing that his plan had failed, Fang Zijian knew he could no longer hide the truth, so he simply tore off his disguise and revealed his true colors.

"Hu Meiniang, don't be so smug! You think you can defeat me like this? You're too naive!" Fang Zijian said with a sneer. "I admit, I wanted to use you before, but I've changed my mind. I want you to be my woman. Only then can you protect your reputation and status!"

"Be your woman?" Hu Meiniang seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world. "Who do you think you are? Do you think I would look at a despicable person like you?"

"Despicable villain? Hahahaha!" Fang Zijian laughed loudly. "Hu Meiniang, don't forget, your own hands aren't clean either! Do you really think you can hide your dirty deeds from everyone?"

"What do you mean?" Hu Meiniang's expression changed.

"What do you mean? You know it in your heart!" Fang Zijian said, pulling a USB drive from his pocket. "This contains all your dirty secrets. Once I release it, you'll be ruined and never be able to recover!"

"How dare you!" Hu Meiniang shouted angrily.

"You'll see if I dare!" Fang Zijian said, about to insert the USB drive into the computer next to him.

Just then, Zhu Feifei suddenly made a move and snatched the USB drive from Fang Zijian's hand with lightning speed.

"You..." Fang Zijian was furious that Zhu Feifei was so fast.

"Fang Zijian, you can forget about it!" Zhu Feifei said coldly. "I will not let you hurt Miss Hu!"

"Hmph, you think you can take me on?" Fang Zijian said disdainfully, "Do you think you're still that incredibly strong pig demon from before?"

“I don’t need to transform to deal with you!” Zhu Feifei said, throwing the USB drive hard on the ground and then stomping on it.

With a crisp "crack!", the USB drive was crushed to pieces.

"You...you actually destroyed it!" Fang Zijian stared at the crushed USB drive, his eyes filled with shock and anger. He hadn't expected Zhu Feifei to be so decisive, actually destroying the bargaining chip she was using to blackmail Hu Meiniang!

"I told you, I will not let you hurt Miss Hu!" Zhu Feifei said, each word distinct and firm in her gaze, her tone filled with undeniable authority.

"Fine! Fine! Fine!" Fang Zijian laughed angrily, repeating "fine" three times. "Zhu Feifei, you just wait, I'll make you regret this!"

After saying that, he glared fiercely at Zhu Feifei and Hu Meiniang, then turned and left.

"Mr. Fang, please wait." Just then, a voice suddenly rang out.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that Dean Li Shizhen had appeared at the restaurant entrance at some point, looking at Fang Zijian with a serious expression.

"Dean Li?" Hu Meiniang was somewhat surprised, wondering why Li Shizhen would be here.

“Mr. Fang, you are suspected of practicing medicine without a license and using prohibited drugs. I am now formally informing you that your medical license has been revoked and you will face legal sanctions.” Li Shizhen said coldly to Fang Zijian.

"What?!" Fang Zijian's expression changed drastically. He hadn't expected Li Shizhen to suddenly appear and say such things.

"Dean Li, you...you must be mistaken? How could I be practicing medicine without a license?" Fang Zijian quickly retorted, "I graduated from a legitimate medical school and have a medical license!"

"Is that so?" Li Shizhen sneered. "Then tell me, where did you get the sedative you injected into Mr. Zhu?"

"I..." Fang Zijian was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

"That tranquilizer isn't a drug available on the market at all; it's a banned drug that you developed yourself. Am I right?" Li Shizhen pressed on, his tone growing increasingly stern.

"I..." Cold sweat began to bead on Fang Zijian's forehead. He knew he was doomed.

"Men, take him away!" At Li Shizhen's command, several security guards rushed in and subdued Fang Zijian.

"Let me go! Let me go!" Fang Zijian struggled desperately, but to no avail.

"Miss Hu, I'm so sorry to have startled you." Li Shizhen walked up to Hu Meiniang and said apologetically, "I will give you an explanation for this matter."

"Dean Li, what exactly happened?" Hu Meiniang asked in confusion.

"This is a long story..." Li Shizhen sighed and began to explain.

It turns out that Fang Zijian is not as simple as he seems on the surface. While he appears to be a wealthy second-generation heir, he is actually a peripheral member of a mysterious organization. This organization has been researching various illegal drugs and attempting to use them for nefarious purposes. Fang Zijian's approach to Hu Meiniang serves two purposes: firstly, to obtain the secret manual of the "White Bone Frost Palm," and secondly, to leverage Hu Meiniang's fame to promote his "research findings."

The so-called "tranquilizer" is actually a new type of hallucinogen that can cause hallucinations and cause serious psychological damage to users.

"That Fang Zijian is absolutely despicable!" Linda said angrily after hearing Li Shizhen's explanation.

"Miss Hu, rest assured, I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and give you a satisfactory answer," Li Shizhen assured her.

"Thank you, Dean Li," Hu Meiniang said gratefully.

"Alright, things have been resolved here. You should all go back and rest early," Li Shizhen said. "Mr. Zhu's health is much better now, but he still needs to stay in the hospital for observation for a while."

"Okay, I understand." Hu Meiniang nodded, then turned to Zhu Feifei and said, "Zhu Feifei, you get some rest. I'll come see you again tomorrow."

"Okay, Miss Hu, be careful on your way," Zhu Feifei said.

After Hu Meiniang and Linda left, only Zhu Feifei and Li Shizhen remained in the ward.

"Mr. Zhu, are you really just an ordinary assistant?" Li Shizhen looked at Zhu Feifei and asked thoughtfully.

"Uh...I guess so." Zhu Feifei touched her nose and said vaguely.

“Your body is very special; I haven’t seen anyone like you in a long time,” Li Shizhen said. “Who… exactly are you?”

“I…” Zhu Feifei hesitated for a moment, unsure how to answer.

“Fine, if you don’t want to talk about it, I won’t force you.” Li Shizhen smiled and said, “However, I am very interested in your body and hope you can cooperate with my research.”
