Shuhang turned his head only to see that Riverly Purple Mist was sitting on a guardrail not far from him. With corners of her mouth raised upward, she revealed a mean but charming smirk. Still holding a small bag of chicken nuggets in her hand, she picked one up with her white little fingers and put it into her mouth.

It sounded like she had stayed nearby the whole time, watching him demolishing a building with bare hands?

Besides, she looked a little bit different from the first time he met her.

Riverly Purple Mist had her shoulder-length hair curled up, which made her hair look shorter. Her bangs grew longer, vaguely covering her eyes.

In the setting sun, Song Shuhang discovered that her hair was not black, but dark violet, a coquettish color. A violet light faintly sparkled in her eyes, which made Riverly Purple Mist look more evil, and more like a ‘bad girl’.

“Good afternoon, Lady Purple Mist.” Song Shuhang said languidly.

“You can just call me Purple Mist. It sounds strange when you call me ‘lady’.” Riverly Purple Mist jumped off the guardrail and approached Shuhang, her steps like a cat’s. “Besides ❮Basic Buddhist Fist Technique❯, the exercise methods of ordinary people can also enhance the physique of cultivators in Foundation Establishment. Be it running, ball games, or workout using equipment, all of them can improve your physique to a certain extent. Well, of course, a cultivator will need an exercise several times more intense than ordinary people to achieve this end.”

“I should have thought of this!” Song Shuhang said, hitting the wall with the back of his head.

One could find many methods to strengthen his physique from the Internet. But, there was only ❮Basic Buddhist Fist Technique❯ in his eyes and he just ignored the ways ordinary people used to build up their bodies.

That was why people always said ‘hide it in plain sight’.

Riverly Purple Mist commented, “Spectators see more than players. That’s the reason.”

“I’ve decided that I’ll get up early and run around Jiangnan College every day.” Song Shuhang clenched his fists, deciding to check whether there was a fitness club near the college when he got free. Maybe it would help him for some time.

Shuhang asked, “By the way, why did you come here, Riverly Purple Mist? ”

“Well, I was idle this morning, so I traced that special poison of my teacher, and finally found it—the place where the victim ended up was in a hotel in Jiangnan, haha.” Purple Mist smiled, her eyes shaped like a crescent moon each. As a disciple of Medicine Master, she had many ways to trace a special poison.

“You’ve found the guy who sneaked into my bedroom yesterday?” Song Shuhang exulted over her reply.

“Yeah, I have, haha. But, I’m sorry to tell you that the guy has been as dead as a doornail. Even his body had been dissolved into a pool of pus, and no other clue was to be found on him. What’s more, the identity of the hotel room booker was fake, so the clue was cut off again. But, it proved your guess that the guy had a partner.” Riverly Purple Mist threw away the bag and licked her fingers sexily.

Coquettish, charming, and seductive… basically, every man would be turned on when he saw this scene.

Song Shuhang was no exception. He felt tempted by her movements. However, he still thought he should remind her, “Purple Mist, though you might like chicken nuggets a lot, it’s not hygienic to lick your fingers as there is a lot of bacteria on them.”

The tempting action of Riverly Purple Mist suddenly froze.

“Ha, you’re such an idiot. You really lack a sense of romance. You’re meant to be alone, I guarantee it.” She didn’t look angry. She just squatted down by his side and wiped the greasy fingers on his clothes.

Song Shuhang wanted to dodge it, but Ms. Jiang’s strength was way better than his, so in the end, the grease on her little hands was all transferred to Shuhang’s clothes.

“Oh, don’t curse me like that. I’ll be angry, even if you’re an acquaintance,” Song Shuhang said. “I’ve made up my mind that I will find a girlfriend in my three-year college life.”

“Whoever’s willing to become your girlfriend must be a weirdo. Ok, let’s forget about it. I have some good news for you. Would you like to know it?” Riverly Purple Mist asked, wiping her fingers clean and her eyes drooping.

“Of course!” Song Shuhang nodded.

“If you want to know it, let’s make a deal.” Riverly Purple Mist stood up and stared at Shuhang condescendingly.

“What is the deal?” Shuhang asked.

Except for the ghost spirit, he didn’t know if he had anything that would interest Riverly Purple Mist. And she didn’t even need a ghost spirit.

“I traveled all the way to Jiangnan just to have some time alone with Medicine Master. So, in the next few days, apart from helping Medicine Master to improve his formula, I hope you don’t come to bother Medicine Master and me, alright?”

There was still a smile on her face. However, Shuhang was terrified.

“No problem. Sure!” he responded quickly—he had a gut feeling that if he didn’t follow her words, he would be sent to a hospital tomorrow, just like Mr. Renshui. The poor guy was still hospitalized…

“Good boy.” Riverly Purple Mist patted Song Shuhang’s head, “Then I will tell you the good news—the assassin’s companion or boss, who hid in the hotel, had physical contact with the poisoned assassin. Sorry for him. Medicine Master’s poison is really lethal. It will melt into the blood and turn the victim into ‘a source of poison’. So, the companion or boss of the killer, who got exposed to the killer, was also poisoned.”

“Now, it depends on how deeply he was poisoned. If he was poisoned deeply, then the picture of his body will be seen in the newspapers in a few days. If he was poisoned not as deeply, he’ll have to stay in seclusion for at least six months to get rid of toxins.

“Oh, there is one last possibility. If the guy has reached Fifth Stage Spiritual Emperor Realm, then it’s another story. However, this possibility is almost nil, for you would have already died if that was the case. Haha.”

If the guy has reached Fifth Stage Spiritual Emperor Realm or above, even Soft Feather, who was catching the ghost spirits with Shuhang the other day, wouldn’t leave J-City alive, let alone Song Shuhang.

According to the residual scent of the guy, Riverly Purple Mist guessed that he had reached Second Stage True Master Realm. Song Shuhang would have no chance against a rival of this level. However, as the guy was now poisoned, with a smart plan and a little bit of luck, he still had a chance to defeat that guy.

Riverly Purple Mist asked, “What do you think? It’s good news, isn’t it?”

“Yeah, a pleasant, good news.” Song Shuhang answered.

If the guy got poisoned, his strength had to be greatly reduced. And, he would need to find the antidote. In this way, it would be easier for him to find the guy with the existing clues.

Riverly Purple Mist asked, “Medicine Master said you knew how to find out about the assassin’s companion?”

“Yes, I’ve got a clue from Senior Medicine Master, and I’ve asked my friends to help me. Still, it’ll take a bit of luck to find out. “Song Shuhang said.

Riverly Purple Mist asked again, “So… what are you going to do if you find the guy?

“It depends on his strength. If there is a chance, then as the saying goes: ‘take your enemy’s life while he is ill’. I’ll just get rid of him to avoid any trouble later on. However, if he is so strong that I have no chance against him, I’ll have to turn to the seniors in the chat group for help,” Song Shuhang said, clenching his fists.

“Get rid of him? Haha.” Riverly Purple Mist made a throat-cutting movement. “So… as a man who has never taken anyone’s life, do you have the resolve to kill your enemy when confronted with him?”

❄️❄️❄️

“I, will be prepared mentally!” Song Shuhang lowered his voice. “I will have the resolve, no matter for my own sake or for the safety of my friends and family.”

That resolve he must have. No matter whether he wanted it or not!

That guy was unscrupulous. If he didn’t even have the resolve, he’d better wash his neck clean and wait for the guy to take his head.

“Good. I can only remind you that you should never be kind to your enemy. Also, make sure your enemy is truly dead. Cultivators have a lot of ways to feign death. You’d better destroy your enemies’ bodies when necessary. If he were a Second Stage cultivator, you should behead him at least.” Riverly Purple Mist stretched herself lazily. “Ok, good luck.”

Then, before Song Shuhang answered her, she had leaped out of the window and disappeared from Shuhang’s sight.

“Thank you.” Song Shuhang said silently.

4:40 a.m.

Shuhang dragged his weary body to run five kilometers.

‘It doesn’t work. Merely running can’t improve my physique much. How about weight training? But, it’s said that weight training will affect height and make the person training shorter…? I have body tempering liquid in my hand, so I should be fine.’

Song Shuhang was filled with wild thoughts.

Anyway, let me go back to the dorm and take a rest first. I’ll plan about the weight training and bodybuilding things in a few days.
