625 Beat the Dog Before the Lion
"What? I'm already dead? What a joker? Are you out of your damn mind due to fear? Do you realize that you are talking shit? Haha…"
Luo Puti and the rest of the officers of Six Doors were feeling astonished as well. None of them could figure out why Chen Xiaobei would say something like that. Beyond that, they were worried that Ouyang Jingxin might do something bad to him if his words offended him.
"Look at this. Do you recognize it? What is this?"
Feeling calm, Chen Xiaobei took out a small bottle from his pocket.
"This? Isn't this the medicine that you gave us to heal our wounds earlier? Well, this bottle of medicine is actually pretty magical! Not only it healed my wounds but also recovered my stamina! Even my hunger is gone! This is some good stuff!"
"Take a closer look again. What is this?"
Chen Xiaobei opened the bottle and shook it. A worm fell into his palm. It was a crimson worm without eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. A small round black thing could be seen at the back of the worm. The round thing was as small as a green bean – glowing with red and brown light!
"This…"
Upon seeing that, Ouyang Jingxin and the rest of the people were taken aback. The officers of Six Doors could be considered quite knowledgeable since they ventured in Jianghu for quite a number of years. However, none of them had seen such an eerie worm.
"This is a mother-child voodoo worm! This kind of voodoo worm comes in a pair! The one that I'm holding in my palm is the mother! The child is rather weak; hence, it can be dealt with easily. So, I have to plant it in your body without you knowing it! In twenty-four hours, the child worm will grow and take root in your body. By that time, there's simply no way to get rid of it anymore!"
"You… Why are you telling me this?"
Immediately, Ouyang Jingxin could feel that something bad was about to happen to him. However, he had not seen mother-child voodoo worm before. It was hard for him to imagine what could go wrong.
"Just pay attention to the changes to your heart. Soon, you will know the thing that I'm about to do unto you!"
After that, Chen Xiaobei picked up the mother worm and pinched the black round thing.
"Ugh… Ah…"
Seconds later, Ouyang Jingxin let out an agonizing scream. He could feel that his heart was being torn apart by a pair of sharp claws.
"Ahhhh… What the hell is happening to me… It's so painful… My heart is about to be crushed… Ugh…"
With both hands clutching his chest, Ouyang Jingxin could not stand the pain anymore. He fell to the ground and started rolling on the floor with a painful look on his face.
"Do you know why I took so long to return here? I was waiting for the worm to be rooted in your body!"
"What... In that case, you've already suspected that I'd do something bad since the beginning?"
Ouyang Jingxin was deeply terrified by it, as seen by his shrunk pupils. All this while, he thought that he hid his plan well. Using Chen Xiaobei as a hostage to gain the final victory was his plan all along. He never thought that Chen Xiaobei had figured out his evil plan from the beginning. His evil plan was like child's play to Chen Xiaobei. From the beginning till the end, Chen Xiaobei had everything under his control. There was no way that Ouyang Jingxin could carry out his evil plan smoothly! Despair was slowly filling him up.
This despair was similar to when Monkey King fought with Buddha. He When he thought that he managed to fly to the border of the heaven with his Somersault Cloud successfully. In the end, he was just flying around in Buddha's palm. Right now, that was how Ouyang Jingxin felt. He thought that he could outplay Chen Xiaobei but he did not realize that Chen Xiaobei was the one that had him wrapped around his finger!
"Mr. Chen… Spare my life, please… Please… I'm willing to become your humble servant for the rest of my life if you spare my life!"
"Hehe… I don't want you to become my humble servant. I want you to become my dog!"
Become a dog?!
Everyone was confused.
'Why would Chen Xiaobei wanted Ouyang Jingxin to become his dog? That's pretty extreme!'
Ouyang Jingxin could not care less anymore. He would literally do anything just to please Chen Xiaobei. If tossing his ego aside could make Chen Xiaobei spare his life – he would do it without a doubt!
"I did not say that I'm going to let you live! The dog that mentioned earlier came from the proverb, beat the dog before the lion!"
Immediately, Chen Xiaobei the round black thing even harder.
*Splat*
The mother worm was crushed instantly.
*Splat!*
At the same time, Ouyang Jingxin's chest exploded.
*Blargghh*
Following by that, Ouyang Jingxin coughed out a mouthful of foul blood with minced flesh in it. The blood was red and brown in color.
"Did his heart just explode?!"
Upon witnessing this terrifying scene, everyone stood there like a statue.
"Mercy please… Mr. Chen… Mercy please… Mr. Chen!"
Promptly, Wang Poqiong and Lin Nutao knelt before Chen Xiaobei and kowtowed non-stop. If Ouyang Jingxin was the dog, the two of them were the lions. Chen Xiaobei's intention was to teach them a valuable lesson after all!
"It's not necessary for the two of you to beg me. I will not kill the two of you since you guys tried to save my life by convincing Ouyang Jingxin to let me go. From today onwards, promise me that you guys will serve Luo Puti wholeheartedly. I will make sure that the two of you will live long lives. However, if I find out that you guys are going to plan something evil, don't blame me for killing you!"
"We wouldn't dare! For real… We can promise you that we will not come up with any bad intentions no matter what! From this second onwards, we will do out best to support and protect Shijie Luo! Kill us if we do something bad to her!"
In a determined manner, Wang Poqiong and Lin Nutao were doing their best to show Chen Xiaobei their loyalty. Fear had truly gotten a hold of them as they knew that going against Chen Xiaobei was the most horrifying experience in their life. They would definitely not come up with any evil plans even if someone lent them one hundred guts!
"Did you hear what I just said?"
Walking away, Chen Xiaobei did not bother to talk to them anymore. He then lifted the Silver Needle of Damnation from Lin Qisi's chest. Immediately, Lin Qisi nodded his head.
"I'm glad that you heard everything I just said! Remember! Do not mess with me if you want to keep your life!"
Chen Xiaobei tapped on his face while smiling.
"I wouldn't dare to do so…"
Immediately, Lin Qisi tried to come up with all his strength to shake his head. His eyes were filled with fear. Actually, Chen Xiaobei possessed only three pairs of mother-child voodoo worm and he did not plant any of them in Lin Qisi's body. However, he thought there was a worm in his body as well. Deep down, he was truly afraid of Chen Xiaobei.
"Puti, I have something to discuss with you."
