Chapter 399: Woman, Don’t Play with Fire!
「Top floor of the nightclub.」
The moment Lin Mu stepped out of the elevator, he raised an eyebrow.
A woman stood there, clad in red pajamas that clung to her curvaceous body, outlining an incredibly graceful figure.
One of the Five Phoenixes of Jiangbei.
Hua Meiniang!
"Sit."
Hua Meiniang’s voice was magnetic, carrying a unique charm.
Lin Mu slowly walked over and sat down on the sofa.
Hua Meiniang studied him intently, the smile on her lips widening the longer she looked.
"You may leave," Hua Meiniang said to a short-haired woman, waving her away.
"Sister Hua..." The woman’s expression changed, a hint of concern in her eyes.
"Hmm?" A soft sound escaped Hua Meiniang’s nose. "Don’t make me repeat myself."
"Yes!" The woman trembled slightly, clearly terrified. Before she left, however, she shot Lin Mu a cold glare, as if warning him not to try anything foolish.
After the woman left, Hua Meiniang turned her gaze back to Lin Mu, looking quite pleased.
"Sitting so far away... are you afraid I’m going to eat you?"
Hua Meiniang rose, holding a wine glass as she walked over to Lin Mu and sat down beside him.
An enticing fragrance wafted from her body, teasing his senses. It was fragrant without being overwhelming—a very pleasant scent.
Every move this woman made exuded an irresistible allure. The power of her mature charm was enough to make any man who saw her lose his composure.
A faint smile touched Lin Mu’s lips as he lightly stroked Hua Meiniang’s hair.
"Not bad."
Hua Meiniang chuckled softly and rested her head gently against Lin Mu’s chest. "Are you saying my shampoo is good, or are you talking about... me?"
"Both are quite good," Lin Mu said with a faint smile. "You’re the second most charming woman I’ve ever met."
Hua Meiniang lifted her face, her eyelashes fluttering as she asked in a coquettish tone, "And who is the first?"
"My wife."
At the thought of Qin Luoli, the smile on Lin Mu’s face softened, though only for an instant.
"Are you talking about her?" Hua Meiniang pointed at Su Ke’er on the screen.
Her eyes narrowed for a moment before she composed herself. With a chuckle, she said, "But has no one ever told you? It’s best not to mention one woman in front of another."
As she spoke, one of her hands began to trail down Lin Mu’s body.
Suddenly, his hand clamped down on hers. An indifferent voice reached her ears.
"Woman, you’d best not play with fire."
Hua Meiniang laughed with delight, her seductive eyes cast downward. "Then... would you be willing to put out my fire for me?"
Lin Mu smiled faintly. "Sorry, not interested."
"You..." Hua Meiniang’s eyes narrowed. "Do you believe I can make that woman downstairs disappear this very second?"
"You can try," Lin Mu replied, his tone devoid of emotion.
Hua Meiniang burst into laughter, her body shaking with mirth, her chest trembling. Then, she spoke toward the screen. "Go. Kill that woman."
Soon, a few more figures appeared on the screen, then a dozen, then several dozen, until finally, over a hundred men had gathered.
All of them were armed, and they were slowly closing in on Su Ke’er and Liu Xiaolin.
"With just one order from me, that woman and that child will die," Hua Meiniang said, her finger tapping Lin Mu’s chest. "Now, do you still want to test me?"
"Are you testing my patience?" Lin Mu raised an eyebrow. "I advise against it... because you will regret it."
"Oh, really?" Hua Meiniang laughed softly as two cold syllables rolled off her red lips.
"Do it!"
On the screen, the hundred or so men seemed to receive the order and began rushing toward Su Ke’er and Liu Xiaolin.
However, Hua Meiniang could only watch as her subordinates fell to the ground one by one, their breathing ceased.
Moreover, they all died in the same way: with a single bloody hole in the center of their foreheads.
"That child..."
For the first time, Hua Meiniang’s expression faltered.
Shock, amazement, disbelief.
"I told you you’d regret it." Lin Mu smiled nonchalantly, seemingly unconcerned that Liu Xiaolin had been in danger.
Possessing the Limitless Sword Body and having received Liu Mubai’s legacy, Liu Xiaolin was incredibly powerful, despite being only four or five years old. Never mind those bodyguards, who were merely skilled fighters; even a true Martial Artist wouldn’t be his match.
Hua Meiniang exhaled deeply. "Even if that child is powerful, none of you will leave here alive!"
Her enchanting smile returned to her face as she continued, "However, you are the third man to come here. For that, I can give you a little reward!"
As she spoke, Hua Meiniang showed no regret for her many dead subordinates.
Those people were dead, and that was that. No matter, she could always recruit more. But the man in front of her seemed different from all the others she had met. There was Long Ao, who came here a few years ago thinking only of how to pin her to a bed and do unspeakable things. Then there was Fang Tang, who was even worse. He thought he could get something started with her, but in the end, he left with nothing. But this young man was different. His eyes were calm. From the moment he arrived, the smile had never left his face. Even as they tested one another, his gaze remained composed. Profound. This man exuded an aura of utter confidence! That powerful confidence gave him an air of mystery, making one irresistibly curious to peer deeper.
"Reward?" Lin Mu asked, seemingly oblivious to her insinuation. "Sorry, I’m not interested. I’m just here to find someone."
"Find someone?" Hua Meiniang laughed heartily. "Isn’t everyone who comes here looking for someone?"
"What? Are you not satisfied with me?" Hua Meiniang stood and circled in front of Lin Mu. "Besides," she purred, "the reward I’m offering is far more satisfying than whoever you’re looking for."
With that, Hua Meiniang’s fingers moved to her shoulder and she let her nightgown slide off.
A breathtaking body was revealed to Lin Mu, a divine masterpiece filled with an artistic beauty. What was most striking was the vibrant rose tattooed on her body, blooming in full splendor—just like the woman herself.
Lin Mu slowly stood and walked toward Hua Meiniang.
His smile remained unchanged, his eyes as serene as still water.
Hua Meiniang, also smiling, watched him approach without flinching.
Lin Mu lightly placed a hand on Hua Meiniang’s shoulder. Then, to her utter disbelief, he lifted her up and threw her into the swimming pool.
SPLASH!
Hua Meiniang cried out in alarm, struggling in the water.
The moment her head broke the surface, a hand clamped down on her throat.
Lin Mu’s voice was cold. "I told you not to test my patience!"
