Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 734: Chapter 732: Accepting Baptism [3rd Update]

”Brother? What’s wrong? Are you unhappy?”

Lu Xiaobu’s expression slightly frightened the little girl, who asked timidly.

”Oh, it’s nothing. Let your sisters take you back, I’ve got some business to attend to, okay?” Lu Xiaobu revealed a smile again, gently patting the little girl’s head.

”Okay!”

Though the little girl was somewhat reluctant, she obediently agreed.

After sending the little girl away, Lu Xiaobu’s expression instantly turned stormy: ”Li Jin, have Zhang Benhu turn everything upside down for me!”

”Yes!” Li Jin took his orders!

In a flash, a dark undercurrent surged throughout Shimen, driven by Zhang Benhu, as they probed the cult hidden within.

Zhang Benhu was also exceptionally angry!

How audacious were these people, to play such tricks in Shimen!

As if he did not exist?!

If Young Master Bu were to get hurt because of this, he wouldn’t be able to face himself!

So, the results came out quickly.

”Young Master, I’ve mostly figured it out. These people use your Three Demons and Three Manifestations as a disguise, then exploit Shimen’s adoration for you to brainwash people, exaggerating your deeds, claiming that all the miracles you performed are because you received the Great Perfection, and that you are their cult’s Saint Heir!” Li Jin reported through clenched teeth.

They played this dark game too slickly!

The people of Shimen already had a special affection for Lu Xiaobu, making it very easy for them to cultivate followers!

And the sudden appearance of a few fanatically obsessed individuals towards Lu Xiaobu in the crowd seemed understandable and not so abrupt.

Who would have thought that these fanatics had been brainwashed!

It must be said, their tactic was really well played!

If it weren’t for the little girl, who accidentally heard all this today, who knows how far this cult could have developed!

Just imagine, if they were really allowed to grow stronger, that would be a ticking time bomb ready to blow Lu Xiaobu into pieces at any moment!

After all, there are some things that must absolutely not be touched, whether actively or passively!

”Have you figured out the matter about the self-immolation?”

Lu Xiaobu asked coldly, prioritizing this issue first.

”Not yet...” Li Jin first shook his head, then his phone rang, and he answered the call: ”Young Master, found it!”

...

In a civilian house, a young mother knelt on the ground with a little boy.

The mother’s face was filled with fanaticism and adoration!

While the little boy seemed somewhat bewildered, instinctively feeling fear, yet he had no choice but to clutch tightly at his mother’s clothing.

”Great Master, we are ready, please grant us Perfection.”

The young mother looked up eagerly at a monk before her... no, this person did not deserve to be called a monk, just a bald scoundrel!

The bald scoundrel held his chest, putting on a pained expression: ”I don’t have much time left, being able to enlighten you at my end time is already an infinite merit.”

This bald scoundrel, if one looks closely, is actually recognized as the obscene bald scoundrel kicked into oblivion by Zhang Meng at the Thunder God eSports Hall!

His name is Yuan Chang!

Looking at it this way, that person named Qing Le is probably related too!

”Thank you, Great Master! Thank you, Great Master!”

The young mother knelt on the ground, frantically kowtowing.

Not only did she kowtow, but she also pulled the little boy to kowtow with her.

She had completely fallen into their trap!

”Alright, close your eyes and accept the baptism.”

Yuan Chang nodded, his eyes revealing a sinister gleam.

His claim of not having much time left wasn’t false; that kick from Lu Xiaobu’s bodyguard had completely crippled him!

So, all that was left in his heart was the thought of revenge!

As for the lives of others—what does it have to do with him!

Yuan Chang took out a bucket of gasoline, and poured it directly on the young mother’s head!

The young mother, smelling the strong scent of gasoline, was not only unastonished but filled with overwhelming ecstasy.

It was as if this wasn’t gasoline but something wonderful!

Yuan Chang poured one-third of the gasoline on the woman and the remaining two-thirds over the head of the small boy whose face was filled with terror!

He looked at the boy, his eyes growing increasingly cruel!

His heart had completely twisted!

After pouring the gasoline, he stopped talking, he was waiting!

Waiting for Lu Xiaobu to arrive, to let Lu Xiaobu experience that despair coming from the abyss, watching helplessly but unable to do anything!

The scene fell silent.

The young mother was continuously muttering something silently.

And the young boy’s face was filled with terror, ”Mom, Mom, I’m scared!”

”Don’t be scared! Child, this is a great honor! Once the Master enlightens you, achieving Great Perfection, your future will be limitless! Whatever you want, you’ll have! Immune to all diseases! Invulnerable to knives and spears!” the young mother fervently said.

”Mom, Mom!”

The young boy, looking at his mom whose expression was weird and even somewhat fierce, grew even more fearful, constantly shaking her arm!

”Shut up!” The young mother suddenly became irate, roaring at the boy, ”I’m doing this for your own good!”

This blatant brutality scared the young boy.

The young boy sat on the ground, stunned, not daring to say anything.

He actually wanted to say, this is gasoline, it can catch fire, these are things dad had once said, weren’t you the ones who said not to touch it!

But why? Why is mom pouring this gasoline on my head now?!

Aren’t you afraid of it catching fire?!

His young heart was filled with endless questions.

But he dared not to speak them out anymore!

That sentence, ”I’m doing this for your good,” suppressed all his words down in his stomach, leaving him speechless!

After all, he could only choose to trust his mother!

And at this moment, Yuan Chang received a phone call.

”People are coming, get ready!”

Just these simple six words, after which the call was abruptly ended.

Yuan Chang threw the phone aside, looking at the young mother and child in front of him with a cruel smile on his face!

It’s just that now he is incapacitated, otherwise he would have devoured such easy prey first!

But, it doesn’t matter anymore.

To Hell you go!

He took out a lighter, lit it!

”Fire!”

The little boy screamed in shock!

Gasoline! Fire!

”Mom! Run!”

However!

His mother embraced him tightly, ”We are about to achieve Great Perfection.”

Meanwhile, with a cruel smile on his face, Yuan Chang tossed the lighter in the air, drawing a deadly arc landing on the young mother!

”Boom!”

A huge, exploding fire!

One large, one small, submerged in a sea of flame!
