C10 You Only Know How to Bully People!

To the assassins, the name "Ksitigarbha King" was akin to a celestial being!

Amidst the noisy chatter of the Rebirth Camp assassins in the valley, Xue Ying's expression turned stern, and he commanded sharply, "Quiet down!"

At his command, a hush fell over the valley, a testament to the respect he commanded among them.

"What of the Ksitigarbha King? Our Rebirth Camp ranks among the world's top ten assassin organizations. Besides, this young man is just that, young. Fifteen years ago, he would have been a mere toddler. It's impossible for him to be the Ksitigarbha King."

After a moment of silence, Xue Ying spoke up, his voice resonating with authority.

The crowd nodded in agreement with Xue Ying's logic.

"The boss has a point. There's no way this youngster could be the Ksitigarbha King," an assassin from Rebirth Camp affirmed with respect.

"However, the fact that this kid possesses the Heavenly Silkworm Gloves and Corpse Dissolving Powder, and masters the Tendon-dissecting Hand technique, suggests a deep connection with the Ksitigarbha King. If we can capture him and uncover the secrets of the Tendon-dissecting Hand and the whereabouts of the Ksitigarbha King, it would be a feat worthy of high praise and reward from our superiors," Xue Ying stated, his raspy voice filled with determination as his eyes sparkled with ambition.

Competition was fierce even within the ranks of Rebirth Camp, where each bronze-ranked assassin led a squad to fulfill the organization's missions.

As their leader, Xue Ying was ever mindful of his team's welfare.

"But boss, this young man effortlessly took down the Li brothers. Considering our capabilities..."

A fellow Bronze rank assassin interjected, voicing the concern that their squad, composed mostly of Bronze ranks, would stand little chance against Wang Xiao in a direct confrontation.

"This time, the entire Xue Ying squad will mobilize. Everyone, drop your current assignments; I will be joining you," Xue Ying declared, understanding the underlying concern.

At his words, every assassin in the valley felt a surge of adrenaline.

Boss Xue Ying was gearing up to take action himself?

"But we've got a bunch of people here who've already taken on the job. If we back out now, we'll be hit with a penalty fee..."

Another assassin whispered timidly.

"Just wait until we capture Wang Xiao alive and uncover the whereabouts of the Ksitigarbha King. Do you really think our superiors won't reward us?" Xue Ying scoffed, shooting a disdainful look at the assassin with the narrow vision. He continued, "And don't forget, that kid has mastered the Tendon-dissecting Hand technique. Imagine if our whole team could learn that move..."

Xue Ying cleverly paused there.

Sure enough, the eyes of every assassin in the valley sparkled with anticipation, their bodies thrumming with the thrill of the hunt.

The Ksitigarbha King's signature move was something every assassin coveted!

"Boss, we're with you."

The assassins were visibly excited, their voices rising in unison to echo Xue Ying's command.

For a moment, the valley rang with an ear-splitting echo, the air thick with murderous intent.

"If there are no objections, then let's move out!"

Xue Ying was pleased with his team's response, a slight smile playing on his lips as he called out with authority.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

No sooner had he spoken than countless shadows darted from the valley's stone walls, swarming out in a mass exodus.

In an instant, the vast valley was deserted, plunging back into silence as if it had never been touched by human presence.

...

Early morning found Wang Xiao's room.

"Big Brother Wang Xiao, time for breakfast. The sun's already kissing your backside."

Tong Waner grumbled as she entered Wang Xiao's room, finding him sleeping like a log. She tugged at his blanket, murmuring in protest.

"Please Waner, just let me sleep a little longer. Ten minutes, just ten more minutes."

Wang Xiao, bleary-eyed and clinging to his blanket, pleaded with Tong Waner.

"No way, it's nearly ten o'clock already."

Tong Waner stood her ground, her tone firm yet playful, reminiscent of a tsundere bride.

"Fine, then step out for a moment. I'm not dressed yet. I'll come down and join you after I change."

Wang Xiao finally opened his eyes with a sigh of resignation and addressed Tong Waner.

"Hmph, Big Brother Wang Xiao, don't think I'm clueless about what's on your mind. Are you trying to find an excuse to send me away so you can go back to sleep? Not happening!"

Tong Waner huffed with a mix of indignation and pride. Without waiting for Wang Xiao to respond, her pale hands yanked at his blanket.

"Uh..."

Caught off guard, Wang Xiao's eyes widened, too late to hide anything.

In the next instant, Tong Waner caught a glimpse of what lay beneath the blanket, her cheeks blushing as she let out a shriek.

"Ah, Big Brother Wang Xiao, you're such a pervert!"

Her heart raced, the image of his solid chest and the hint of his abs etched in her mind.

Oh no, why can't I stop thinking about this?

I'm losing my innocence!

That jerk Wang Xiao, taking advantage of me!

Wang Xiao, seeing Tong Waner's flushed face as she averted her gaze, spread his hands helplessly and said, "I've told you before, I'm not wearing anything. You just didn't believe me."

"How was I supposed to know you were actually not wearing clothes? You've never done that before. It doesn't matter; you're still a pervert!"

Embarrassed, Tong Waner covered her face, pouting at Wang Xiao without daring to look his way.

"Alright, alright, I'm the pervert, okay?"

Wang Xiao conceded with a shrug.

His eyes then drifted to Tong Waner, clad in her loose pajamas. The adorable pink fabric hugged her shapely figure, hinting at her alluring curves, while her toned calves and delicate feet peeked out from blue cartoon slippers—undeniably charming.

Gulp...

Wang Xiao swallowed hard, his eyes twinkling with mischief.

Since he was already labeled a rogue...

Why not just embrace it?

"Hehe, Waner, isn't it a husband's right to be a little roguish with his wife?"

Wang Xiao teased, touching his nose and flashing a cheeky grin at Tong Waner.

"Big Brother Wang Xiao, go ahead and get dressed. I'll head out first."

Tong Waner's heart raced as she noticed the increasing brightness in Wang Xiao's clear eyes. A blush crept onto her cheeks, and she turned to leave.

But Wang Xiao wasn't about to let Tong Waner slip away so easily. He caught her delicate, boneless hand and drew her close into his embrace.

"Thinking of leaving now? Isn't it a bit late for that?" Wang Xiao chuckled, holding Tong Waner in his arms. "You woke me up bright and early. Don't you think you owe me a little something?"

As Wang Xiao pulled her back into his arms, Tong Waner's heart skipped into disarray. Her slender fingers twined nervously, and her lips, a vivid red, began to form a protest. "It's hardly early anymore. It's nearly mid... Mmm!"

Her protest was cut short as her lips were suddenly sealed with his. A jolt, like an electric shock, surged through her.

Her first kiss—stolen by Wang Xiao!

"Mmm, tastes like honey..." Wang Xiao reveled in the thrill, his whole being basking in the sensation as he readied himself for another advance.

"Uh..." Tong Waner was still reeling from the electrifying kiss when Wang Xiao gently pried open her teeth.

Dizziness overwhelmed her in a flash. Her limbs felt weak, and she lay powerless in Wang Xiao's arms.

This scoundrel, always picking on her!

How infuriating!

Thud, thud, thud...

Just as Wang Xiao was about to proceed further, a knock on the door interrupted them. Tong Hu's voice filtered through from outside.

"Miss, the master has called for you."

Snapped out of her stupor, Tong Waner's face flushed as she shoved Wang Xiao away and scrambled to straighten her disheveled attire.

"Tong Hu, always ruining Big Brother's plans!" Wang Xiao seethed internally, cursing Tong Hu countless times over.

"I'll be right there," Tong Waner called out, still pink in the face, as she addressed Tong Hu through the door.

She rose to her feet and made for the door. But before exiting, she couldn't resist shooting Wang Xiao a fierce glare.

"Cough, cough..."

Feeling Tong Waner's eyes on him, Wang Xiao gave a slight cough, touched his nose, and averted his gaze, adopting an "I'm one of the good guys" expression.

Tong Waner, upon seeing this, rolled her eyes at Wang Xiao and huffed, "Hurry up and get dressed, come down for breakfast!"

That rascal, Wang Xiao!
