After the Protagonist Ascended, I Set My Eyes on His Woman - Chapter 19:

Chapter 19: Raising a Hand to Kill

He handed the phone to Gu Qingning. 

Gu Qingning took it, and Xie Yourong leaned in to watch too. The two stunningly beautiful faces were side by side, and Li Wanji watched them with a smile. As expected of the women chosen by the Child of Destiny—indeed, beautiful and pleasing to the eye.

“A whole family, all gathered. Let’s begin!” came the voice of Hong Yue from the phone. Then, the screen spun for a moment, and what followed was a slaughter!

“Ah!” the two women screamed when they saw Ling Xiaodong’s head get pierced through. When the Ling family was massacred one by one, Gu Qingning’s face turned pale as she cried out helplessly, “No!”

“You… you devil!” Gu Qingning trembled as she looked at Li Wanji after watching the video. Xie Yourong wasn’t any better. Her face was also pale, and she looked completely panicked.

“Devil? Heh.” Li Wanji sneered. “If I’m a devil, then Miss Gu, you’re the devil’s accomplice. When you and Miss Xie were in bed with the so-called devil, why didn’t you have that same look on your face?”

“Hmm?” Li Wanji leaned closer, gazing into Gu Qingning’s beautiful eyes.

“What are you saying?” Gu Qingning asked angrily.

“Seems like you really forget things easily, Miss Gu. Chen Fan wiped out my entire clan. Why didn’t you call him a devil?” Li Wanji said, “He massacres a whole clan, and he’s your hero. I do the same, and I’m a devil? Miss Gu, you really have double standards.”

Li Wanji clapped mockingly. 

Gu Qingning bit her lip hard and couldn’t say a word.

“Qingning, why are you still wasting words on him?” Xie Yourong clapped her hands and said, “Come out, brothers of Blood Wolf! Kill this devil and avenge the Ling family!”

Clang!

A hidden steel door in the wall opened, and a group of people walked out. Dozens of men filled the private room, all wearing uniforms marked with a red wolf head symbol. They were the underground gang—Blood Wolf!

A woman with a high ponytail and a heroic presence stepped out quickly. Her cold and sharp eyes radiated a chilling light like a fierce, savage wolf. Her looks were just as fierce. She was the Iron-Blood Wolf Woman, the boss of Blood Wolf.

“Pfft…” Li Wanji chuckled.

“What are you laughing at?” Wolf Woman asked coldly.

“You’re about to die, and you still find something funny. You must be scared out of your mind,” Xie Yourong sneered, pouting. “Wolf Woman, kill him. He’s way too arrogant!”

“Any last words?” Wolf Woman raised a shotgun and aimed it at Li Wanji’s head. The women, including Mo Ruyan, were all stunned when that weapon appeared. Its power needed no explanation—even an elephant could be blown to pieces with it.

In games, a shotgun symbolized immense power. At close range, one shot meant one kill.

“Ants,” Li Wanji mocked. He then waved his hand.

BOOM!

A surge of true Qi erupted violently from his body, instantly suppressing the entire room. One moment the Blood Wolf members were standing tall, and the next they were all forced to kneel on one knee by the pressure.

BANG!

Wolf Woman fired without hesitation. The pellets blasted toward Li Wanji’s head.

“Hmph!” Li Wanji snorted. With a bang, his true Qi burst out again. All the pellets bounced back, striking Wolf Woman instead.

Her head exploded instantly, and her strong body flew back under the massive recoil and slammed heavily into the floor.

“Die!” Li Wanji waved his hand, and the dozens of Blood Wolf members exploded one after another, turning into a bloody mist.

“Urgh…” The women, except for Li Wanji, vomited in terror. The thick stench of blood spread through the room, making them nauseous and filling their hearts with fear.

“Mere mortals dare to challenge a god!” Li Wanji suddenly withdrew his true Qi, and everything returned to calm.

“You… you…” Gu Qingning and Xie Yourong were both frozen in shock. Neither had imagined that Li Wanji was a cultivator—one with quite a high cultivation level at that. With a simple wave of his hand, he had slaughtered all those martial artists.

They were both stunned speechless.

“Gu Qingning, kneel!” Li Wanji said coldly and dominantly, his tone leaving no room for refusal.

Gu Qingning bit her lip. “No!”

“Very well,” Li Wanji smiled faintly. “In that case, let’s take our time. We’ll stop here for today.”

“Let’s go.”

Since they still refused to submit, Li Wanji wasn’t in a rush. Once Qingcheng International collapsed, that woman would come begging. When that time came, he would humiliate her slowly.

As Li Wanji walked out of the private room, Xie Yourong and Gu Qingning collapsed onto the sofa. Gu Qingning’s face was ice-cold.

After taking care of Nuonuo’s body and arranging a proper burial, the two returned to the villa. Once home, Gu Qingning called Qin Ruoyun.

Qin Ruoyun was the owner of Gancaotang and one of Chen Fan’s lovers.

“Ruoyun, what should we do? The Wolf Woman and her people are all dead. Blood Wolf has been wiped out,” Gu Qingning said.

“What happened?” Qin Ruoyun was shocked.

“That scoundrel is a cultivator, and not a weak one either!” Gu Qingning replied.

“Can you estimate his cultivation level?” Qin Ruoyun asked calmly.

“Judging by his aura, I think he’s at the Grandmaster level. He can release true Qi externally,” Gu Qingning said. As one of Chen Fan’s women, she had seen him display his divine might many times. So based on what she saw today, she assumed Li Wanji was a Grandmaster.

Of course, she didn’t know that Li Wanji hadn’t even used his full strength—just a small demonstration.

“If he’s a Grandmaster, it’s not impossible to deal with him,” Qin Ruoyun’s eyes lit up. “Do you remember Chen Fan’s disciple, Cang Lingxiang?”

“Of course I remember. He’s Chen Fan’s personal disciple. Back when Chen Fan and I weren’t even involved, he already called me ‘Master’s Wife!’” Gu Qingning said.

“He’s now the chief instructor of Canglong and has broken through to the Grandmaster Realm,” Qin Ruoyun said.

“What? That kid broke through to Grandmaster?” Gu Qingning was shocked.

Qin Ruoyun explained patiently, “It’s not surprising. He’s from the Cang family and has been cultivating since childhood. He already had Peak Martial Realm strength. Breaking through to Grandmaster isn’t strange.”

The Cang family was a martial family known throughout the Yanhuang land since the days of their ancestor Cang Sanfeng. Today, the Yanhuang War God guarding the borders—Cang Qingtian—was of that lineage. His cultivation was unfathomable.

Back then, he had a world-shaking battle with Chen Fan. But no one knew who won in the end. Some rumors said Chen Fan lost. Others claimed Chen Fan won but didn’t reveal the outcome to preserve Cang Qingtian’s face and reputation.

…

Late at night, inside Li Wanji’s villa.

In Bai Ya’s room, Chen Nuonuo was sound asleep on a small bed beside the large one. On the big bed, Li Wanji was holding the voluptuous Bai Ya and making a baby. Her mature figure was just too tempting. This was his favorite thing to do.

After hours of torment, Li Wanji finally let her go in the middle of the night. Bai Ya turned her back to him. She never wanted to face reality after each time. Her mind was filled with complicated thoughts.

“Sigh…” In the end, it became a soft sigh as she slowly drifted to sleep.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing a side mission.] 

Just as Li Wanji was about to fall asleep, the system suddenly chimed in.
