After conquering the Empress, I proved my Dao with the Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace!

The tasks on the stone pillar were very clear. Qin Chuan concentrated and carefully selected the tasks that he could complete easily.

On the other side, Tiger Head approached the fox-faced woman step by step.

"Flirt, just give in to me, and from now on I, Tiger Head, will take you to eat and drink the best food in the world!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several men around the burly man echoed his sentiments.

"That's right, you vixen sister-in-law, just give in to our Tiger Brother, and I guarantee you'll have whatever you want from now on!"

"That's right, everyone has witnessed Tiger's strength. Now he's a bronze-level killer, so won't he get whatever he wants in the future?"

"..."

As the crowd egged her on, the fox-faced woman clenched her fists and unconsciously took two steps back.

Qin Chuan thought that Old Ke would intervene, but the old man with the cane just watched quietly and showed no intention of making a move.

Seeing this, Qin Chuan narrowed his eyes, sensing something unusual.

At this moment, seeing the tiger-headed man approaching, the fox-faced woman was clearly frightened and instinctively looked around.

Upon seeing Qin Chuan not far away, she looked at him with pleading eyes, as if grasping at a straw.

Qin Chuan glanced at her once, then looked away.

He continued to casually take on the task on the stone pillar, showing no intention of helping.

He had no relation to her, so there was no need for him to make enemies with others because of her.

As for the hero rescuing the damsel in distress, only a brainless idiot would do that.

Seeing Qin Chuan remain unmoved, a hint of despair flashed in the fox-faced woman's eyes, and she pursed her lips tightly.

At this moment, she was surrounded by Tiger Head and his men in a corner by a stone pillar, and Elder Ke, the manager of Zhaixing Tower, still showed no intention of making a move.

Now she didn't know what to do.

"Fox Spirit, how about it? Want to be my woman, Tiger Head? Give me a straight answer!"

Tiger Head grinned lewdly as he approached step by step.

The fox-masked woman feigned composure and said coldly, "This is the Star-Picking Tower's stronghold. What can you do about it?"

"Of course it won't work."

Tiger Head smiled slightly, "But you can't stay here forever. As long as you go outside..."

He stopped there, the implication being clear.

Tiger Head understood that this was, after all, the Star-Picking Tower stronghold, and if a conflict broke out, he would be in deep trouble.

But once you're outside, the sky's the limit, and nobody can control you.

Seemingly understanding this as well, the fox-faced woman's pretty face turned deathly pale beneath her mask, a flicker of panic crossing her eyes.

After looking around a few times, Qin Chuan selected a few suitable tasks and prepared to leave.

Seeing this, the fox-faced woman quickly chased after him, leaning her body closer to Qin Chuan and trying to grab his arm.

Although Qin Chuan shook her off immediately, she still clung to him tightly.

"Tiger Head, this is the man I just found. Just give up on him. If you keep bothering me, he might treat you badly!"

As she spoke, the fox-masked woman continued to grab at Qin Chuan's arm.

Does this woman want to die?!

Seeing the other party continue to make trouble, a murderous glint flashed in Qin Chuan's eyes.

"roll!"

Without hesitation, Qin Chuan immediately reprimanded him.

"you!"

Upon hearing Qin Chuan's words, the fox-faced woman was furious.

To avoid arousing Tiger's suspicion, she quickly said in a sweet voice, "I was wrong, okay? Please don't be angry with me anymore, let's make up, okay..."

As soon as she finished speaking, she lowered her voice and said, "I have a great treasure on me. If you are willing to help me, I will tell you where it is hidden."

Heavy treasure?

Qin Chuan scoffed. If the other party had said that at the beginning, he might have been tempted, but now he only felt disgust.

"So that's why she didn't want to be my woman, Tiger Head's woman, after she found a gigolo!"

Just as Qin Chuan was about to say something, Tiger Head saw how close the fox-faced woman was to Qin Chuan and became furious.

"Pretty boy, don't think you can steal my Tiger Head's woman just because you're a bronze-level assassin. You'd better know your own limitations!"

At the same time, Tiger Head also noticed the bronze mask Qin Chuan was wearing.

"idiot!"

Qin Chuan narrowed his eyes and turned to look at Hu Tou, "Open your dog eyes and see clearly, don't just bite people with your dog mouth!"

"you!"

Upon hearing this, Tiger Head's face flushed red, and he clenched his fists tightly.

"enough!"

Just as he was about to lash out, Old Ke finally spoke up.

"This is the Star-Picking Tower stronghold, not a place for you people to fight over things. If you want to argue, don't do it here. You can do whatever you want outside!"

Hearing what Old Ke said, Tiger Head was furious, but he managed to suppress his anger.

This is, after all, the stronghold of the Star-Picking Tower. If something really happens here, they will be the ones who suffer.

"Boy, just wait for me!"

After uttering that harsh remark, Tiger Head called to the men around him, "Let's go!"

Immediately afterwards, the group left the cave in a grand procession.

Watching Tiger Head and the others leave, the fox-faced woman bowed to Qin Chuan.

"Young master, I was rude just now. I must thank you for saving me. I will definitely express my gratitude properly after we get out and offer you a cup of wine."

Ignoring the fox-faced woman's teasing, Qin Chuan walked directly to Elder Ke and told him about the tasks he was to take on.

A hint of surprise flashed in Old Ke's eyes. "Although you're the person Old Blind Man mentioned, if you fail to complete so many missions, you'll lose assassin points. Are you sure you want to accept them?"

Qin Chuan nodded. "It's alright, I can do it."

Hearing Qin Chuan say this, Elder Ke stopped trying to persuade him and said in a deep voice, "In that case, hand over your assassin's warrant."

Qin Chuan nodded, took out his assassin's warrant, and handed it over.

A moment later, Elder Ke returned the assassin's warrant to Qin Chuan. "Alright, you've accepted all four missions. You'll complete the mission once you see a head."

"Thank you!"

Qin Chuan clasped his hands in a fist salute, bid farewell to Elder Ke, and then turned and left the cave.

"Sir, wait for me!"

Not long after Qin Chuan walked away, the fox-masked woman also accepted a mission and quickly followed.

"Is something wrong?"

Qin Chuan frowned and looked at the other person with displeasure.

"Don't be so fierce. Can't I come to you for no reason?" the fox-faced woman said with a smile.

With that, she grabbed Qin Chuan's sleeve and walked outside.

"Since we are so destined to meet, why not take this opportunity to get to know each other better?"

As she spoke, her snow-white breasts brushed against Qin Chuan's arm, seemingly unintentionally.

Qin Chuan's expression remained unchanged, a slight smile playing on his lips.

But beneath that smile lay a barely perceptible chilling killing intent.

Seeing that Qin Chuan did not resist, the fox-faced woman laughed as clearly as a silver bell and led Qin Chuan away from the Zhaixinglou stronghold.

After the two walked out of the lake and walked a distance further, Qin Chuan suddenly withdrew his hand and looked coldly at the fox-masked woman.

The fox-faced woman felt a little uneasy under Qin Chuan's gaze and quickly smiled, "Young...Young Master, why are you looking at me like that? I'll take you somewhere to drink."

"drink wine?"

Qin Chuan sneered and said dismissively, "Stop acting. I'm afraid you don't want to take me out for drinks, but rather to lead me into some pre-designed trap, right?"

Upon hearing this, the fox-faced woman's pupils contracted slightly, and a hint of panic flashed in her eyes.
