I Have A Martial Dao World

Tianding International Hotel, Fitness Center

In the soothing music, Huang Jiani, dressed in tight yoga clothes, slowly stretched her body on the yoga mat.

Her buttocks were raised, outlining a round and firm shape; her upper body bent low, revealing a pale and full hemisphere.

She carried an elegant and graceful air, like an orchid, her ordinary looks imbued with charm—nothing like a 40-year-old woman.

At this moment, countless men were stealing glances at her.

Huang Jiani smirked with a hint of naughtiness, meticulously completed the set of movements, and stood up with her hips swaying from side to side, drawing even more attention.

She was someone who placed great emphasis on body management, but what allowed her to play Li Zhihang, Li Lei's father, like a fiddle was her extremely high emotional intelligence.

Approaching the floor-to-ceiling window, Huang Jiani took out her phone, snapped a picture of the night view, and sent it to Li Zhihang with a fresh and innocent message:

["My departure doesn't mean I don't love you, tears are the frequent guests of memory"]

Li Zhihang replied instantly, ["In this life, for you, I would confine myself within the lines!!!"]

Huang Jiani revealed a smug and sly smile.

At this time, Lu Yao, from 20 meters away, clearly saw the message on the phone and instantly felt his hackles rise and goosebumps shed all over the floor.

"What is this crap... Li Lei's dad is really a closet pervert."

Sitting in a corner furiously criticizing, Lu Yao also casually spun a 20KG dumbbell in his hand as if twirling a pen.

Soon, two middle-aged handsome men approached, heading straight for Huang Jiani.

These two were dressed appropriately, with hair, eyebrows, and nails all meticulously groomed and trimmed; they carried themselves with a refined and noble air.

After meeting, they first greeted her with a chorus of "Hello, Sister Jia," and then began to report on their work:

["The woman entrepreneur I hooked is still dreaming of love after being scammed out of 8 million. I think we can make another hit."]

["My target is a retired bank executive, quite influential. I think there's no need to rush for the money; we can consolidate and use her as a stepping stone."]

Huang Jiani said, ["The old professor I'm dealing with is a bit of a headache; he doesn't handle the funds..."]

~~~~~~~~~

After listening for a while, Lu Yao had confirmed—these three were part of a mega scam group.

They targeted men and women aged 40-60 who were single, wealthy, and powerful, using their own attractive appearance to gain the victims' favor and trust, then inducing them to offer up their assets, and even using their positions of power to provide conveniences.

The whole process was blatant, with no fabrication or concealment, simply using their charm to play with the victims' emotions, making them willingly give up everything.

To put it bluntly, it was just leading dogs on a leash to take advantage.

Lu Yao watched the three people with a playful look, marveling at the many wonders in the world. Although they indeed had good looks and demeanor, it was a pity they picked the wrong person.

"The extraction of the drug relates to my life-and-death stakes; how dare you meddle!"

Li Zhihang, having turned into a fawning admirer, would certainly hold up the progress, absolutely unbearable!

Lu Yao stood up and slowly approached, the three people oblivious to his presence, still chattering and laughing:

"A Jie, you're not planning to scam someone into jumping off a building again this time, are you?"

"Ha, you can't top that time when you got the aunt to slash her wrist right in front of the bank. She had just transferred the money when you blocked her~"

"There are also some country folks who like to drink pesticides..."

Huang Jiani heard all this without a care; indeed, many who were deceived emotionally and then stripped of their money might be driven to desperate measures.

But what did all this have to do with her? It was a matter of the willing striking hands with the willing.

~~~~~~~~

While still texting Li Zhihang, Huang Jiani suddenly saw a young man approaching and her eyes lit up.

The man had a fit and muscular physique, enchanting with lean muscle that looked slim in clothes yet muscular when revealed—a real powerhouse in bed!

Moreover, he had a really nice scent about him, intoxicating indeed.

"Being around middle-aged men makes me sick to my stomach. I need to get with a young stud to let off some steam!"

Huang Jiani let out a seductive smile, the look of an older woman craving a younger man.

She bumped into him on purpose, intending to feign a fall to spark an encounter.

~~~~~~~~

The person walking towards them was Lu Yao.

He casually threaded his way between the three of them, slightly reaching out to deflect their bodies, especially the eager embraces of the "mature beauties" while muttering "Excuse me."

He looked like a hurried passerby, but his three threads of Inner Breath had already been transmitted into the others' bodies with the briefest of touches!

Huang Jiani watched the attractive young man disappear around the corner, with a hint of regret in her eyes. She had touched the young man's arm, confirming his muscles were indeed firm—a guaranteed pleasure for days.

The fire within her was stoked, and it needed to be extinguished. She turned to her two companions, "Ah Ren, A Jie, let's go back to our room for some fun, find a little entertainment."

Ah Ren and A Jie, two middle-aged men oozing charm but usually dealing with "strong women," also had pent-up stress to release, and the trio promptly returned to their room.

Huang Jiani went for a shower, while Ah Ren and A Jie seized the opportunity to swallow numerous pills.

Having served older women all year round, they were weary in body and mind and required copious medication.

During her shower, Huang Jiani noticed a black line on her arm, finer than a hair and seemingly spreading upward; it was exactly where the young man had touched her.

This black line was hard to see without close inspection, and it didn't wash off despite her rubbing. There was no pain or itching sensation.

"Did I pull a muscle during yoga earlier?"

Huang Jiani didn't pay much attention to it, still she didn't forget to reply to Li Zhihang's message: [May your life be as clear and bright as crystal, loving only those whom you wish to love.]

The instant reply came: [Through the misty blue rain, a solitary shadow awaits you.]

Huang Jiani sneered at the text but suddenly found the black line on her arm had reached her shoulder!

Years of conning people had honed her alertness; she sensed something amiss and quickly stood to examine it closely.

The black line was moving faster than before!

Seeing her strange expression, Ah Ren and A Jie asked, "Sister Jia, what's wrong?" "What happened?"

No sooner had they asked than they followed Huang Jiani's gaze to the black line slowly creeping across her shoulder onto her body.

Ah Ren said, "I've got this thing on me too..."

He pointed to an identical black line on his chest, looking puzzled. This line was spreading much faster than Huang Jiani's.

A Jie looked down and to his shock, found a similar line on his chest! It was spreading quickly too, like a little snake burrowing through his body, chillingly eerie.

By now, all three realized that something was terribly wrong!

"Call an ambulance! We might have been poisoned!"

If one person had a sprain or a bruise it's one thing, but when all three had the same symptom, there was definitely a problem! Huang Jiani decisively reached for the phone to dial the emergency number.

Being involved in egregious scams, they certainly had many enemies; that's why their group always moved together, to watch each other's backs in case of trouble.

But at that moment, the black line on A Jie's body reached his heart and vanished.

His expression abruptly froze, then twisted in pain as he clutched his chest, collapsing to the ground, eyes bulging and mouth making a "kacha kacha" sound.

It was the unmistakable signs of "acute myocardial infarction!"

The remaining two were about to assist, but the next second, the black line on Ah Ren's body also entered his heart, and he fell to the ground in agony, displaying the same symptoms!
