My Most Beautiful Fiancée

The black specks quickly landed on Mu Lin’s skin and burrowed inside.

Mu Lin’s expression turned grim. ”These are Gu Insects! You’re from the Southern Border!”

Secretary Song laughed. ”Whose man I am doesn’t matter. What matters is that you’re about to die.”

”President Wang meticulously arranged this Yun Tian Manor. Every single floor tile was crafted with a special process. The power of divine sense can’t penetrate it at all.”

”These so-called masters of the Innate Divine Realm are all full of themselves. They think having divine sense makes them invincible and stop carefully scanning for danger.”

”And then, danger arrives when they least expect it.”

”I kill more than a dozen of these dumbasses a year. Just a bunch of morons who never learn their lesson.”

”And you’re next!”

Wang Zuguang said in a serious tone, ”Secretary Song, be more polite. Mr. Mu is a dead man walking. Don’t stoop to his level.”

”Mu Lin, do you know how I became the richest man in Anhua? I can tell you without any exaggeration: it’s because I never leave things to chance. I always have a backup plan. Since you wouldn’t listen to me, I have no choice but to kill you.”

”I gave you a chance, kid.”

But Mu Lin remained completely unfazed. ”Gu Insects are indeed a major hassle. But... that’s all they are.”

’When I felt my divine sense being obstructed, I raised my guard. I just assumed it was some kind of mechanism.’

’If it were a mechanism, my Vajra Shield at full power would have made it impossible for me to be harmed in the slightest.’

’Hidden weapons and the like would, at most, just be an itch to scratch.’

’Unfortunately, it turned out to be Gu Insects.’

’These Gu Insects are inherently capable of breaking through Gang Qi and burrowing into the body. Even Celestial Level Gang Qi like that of a Vajra Zhenren would be corroded.’

’It’s because of Gang Qi’s unique structure.’

’This Secretary Song really went to some trouble to integrate the Gu Insects into the decor so seamlessly.’

He looked down on Mu Lin with disdain. ”You’re about to die, so don’t waste your energy thinking about anything else. I’ll find you a nice feng shui burial spot and ensure your descendants—your sons will be slaves, your daughters will be maids. For generations, they will never be able to hold their heads high!”

Mu Lin said, ”Sorry, but you don’t need to worry about that. First, I don’t have any children. Second, I don’t plan on dying yet!”

This made Secretary Song even more delighted. ”So you’re a bachelor, hahaha! In that case, I’ll feed your flesh and blood to my Soul Gu, tear your soul to shreds, and then slowly refine it. I’ll make you wish for death but be unable to die, living a life worse than death!”

Mu Lin laughed. ”Hahahaha, hahahahahaha. Don’t you worry about me. I told you, I don’t plan on dying just yet!”

Wang Zuguang urged him, ”Secretary Song, what are you doing? Hurry up! Just finish him off, will you? Why are you dragging your feet on something so important? I may have let you handle this as you see fit, but that doesn’t mean you can just waste my time!”

”End his life now!”

With Wang Zuguang having given the order, Secretary Song quickly performed the Gu Manipulation Technique, preparing to awaken the Gu Insects inside Mu Lin’s body and wreak havoc on his insides.

After a moment of casting, Secretary Song said smugly, ”President Wang, all the Gu Insects have been activated! It won’t be long before he’s eaten to death from the inside out!”

”Isn’t there a faster way?” Wang Zuguang was getting genuinely anxious. Mu Lin was just too strong. The slightest change could lead to immense risk; who knew, Mu Lin might just turn the tables and kill them.

”Unfortunately, none of them hit his heart, so no Gu Insect can directly devour his heart meridian. They have to start with his internal organs and eat their way through slowly.”

”We’ll definitely kill him! Weren’t all those masters in the past full of hot air? And didn’t we take care of them all? Don’t worry, I won’t let you down!”

Mu Lin found this so amusing he didn’t even try to hold back, bursting into heartfelt laughter.

”Hahahaha, how ridiculous!”

Secretary Song’s face twisted. ”What are you laughing at? Is something funny?”

Mu Lin smiled faintly. ”Of course. Why else would I be laughing so happily? It’s hilarious. Are you in the Innate Divine Realm?”

Secretary Song still didn’t understand why Mu Lin was laughing. He said coldly, ”I’m not in the Innate Divine Realm, but I am a Martial Arts Grandmaster! Is there a difference?”

Mu Lin laughed. ”A Martial Arts Grandmaster, you say? Then you’re not even qualified to run your mouth at me. Do you have any idea what the Innate Divine Realm means? Do you know what ’divine sense’ implies? Don’t think that just because you’ve sneak-attacked and killed one or two people with your petty tricks, you can do it to everyone.”

”Your TV-drama-level intellect is completely insignificant. No one gives a damn about it!”

Mu Lin’s words were simple, but to Secretary Song’s ears, they were a direct challenge to his professionalism.

”I think you’ve got a death wish! How I do things is my business. Who are you to tell me what to do?”

Mu Lin chuckled. ”I’m the one you’re trying to kill. Can’t I say a few words?”

Secretary Song was so angry he almost lunged at Mu Lin, but Mu Lin remained perfectly relaxed.

Mu Lin picked up a dinner knife from the coffee table. The movement startled Secretary Song, who hurriedly moved to protect Wang Zuguang.

But Mu Lin actually plunged the knife into himself.

As the skin was cut open, Mu Lin took a silver needle in his other hand and stabbed it straight in. When he pulled it out, a black, dead Gu Insect was attached to the tip.

’He’s that fast!’ This scared Secretary Song half to death.

Mu Lin said, ”See? What do you think?”

Then, to Secretary Song’s horror, he saw several more Gu Insects get squeezed out of the wound, all of them dead.

”I have countless ways to kill Gu Insects. What makes you think you can fight me?”

As he said this, Mu Lin’s expression was placid, but in Secretary Song’s eyes, he was no different from a life-reaping Asura.

He turned and ran.

Though Mu Lin spoke casually, his actions were merciless. He flicked a silver needle, and it struck Secretary Song, who convulsed once and collapsed to the floor, unable to move.

Seeing this, Wang Zuguang became incredibly tense. Secretary Song was his only chance to turn the tables. Now that he was down, Wang Zuguang was just a pawn in Mu Lin’s hands, completely helpless.

’What am I going to do?’

”Alright, President Wang, think carefully. Right now, you have no way out. If you want to live, your only choice is to listen to me.”

”What... what are you going to do?”

Wang Zuguang pressed his lips together, utterly despairing. ’God knows how I ended up in a situation like this.’

’I started with a perfect hand, and somehow it’s all turned into this mess.’

Mu Lin slowly walked toward Wang Zuguang, his gaze icy. ”President Wang... how about you take me to see Chu Chaoxiong?”

Wang Zuguang trembled, not daring to resist in the slightest.

’If I resist, I’ll die for sure.’

Wang Zuguang led Mu Lin to where Chu Chaoxiong was being held.

Mu Lin was anxious, because he would be in trouble if Chu Chaoxiong died.

The primary issue was that Chu Chaoxiong was the second richest man in Anhua, and Mu Lin planned to have him maintain the economic stability of the entire city.

This was Zhou Qianfan’s intention. If the economy suffered a major shock, Zhou Qianfan would be the first one to be affected.

As the one governing the region, he had to take things seriously.

Furthermore, if economic turmoil occurred, the Li Group would also be impacted. At that point, many things might not develop according to Mu Lin’s plans.

’So, I still need to handle this with a low profile.’

Mu Lin quickly glanced at Chu Chaoxiong. He had been beaten brutally, as if they intended to kill him.

But he was, at least, still breathing.

Mu Lin first threw a needle to stabilize Chu Chaoxiong’s vital energy, then shot a glare at Wang Zuguang. ”Boss Wang, you’re a cruel man!”

Wang Zuguang swallowed hard, utterly terrified.

”Mr. Mu! Mr. Mu!” Hearing Mu Lin’s voice, Chu Chaoxiong opened his eyes from the verge of death. Seeing that it really was Mu Lin, he said urgently,

”Mr. Mu, run! Wang Zuguang wants to kill you!”

Mu Lin chuckled. ”Of course, I know that! And I’ve already dealt with the trouble. They couldn’t do anything to me. Look at me, do I look like anything happened?”

Hearing Mu Lin’s words, Chu Chaoxiong suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. ”It’s good that you’re alright, Mr. Mu. I was so worried about you. I mean, what if you...”
