911 A Fierce Argument at Food Stree

Ye Chaoxiong was the next one who was going to gamble against Gu Ning.

Although nobody believed that he could defeat Gu Ning now, the others still hoped that Ye Chaoxiong could win. He was the gambling magnate of City M after all.

Some hoped that Ye Chaoxiong could beat "Tang Aining" so that they could feel better after their successive failures.

Some, however, still hoped that "Tang Aining" could win. If Ye Chaoxiong lost the competition as well, it wouldn't be so embarrassing for them to be the losers.

"I'm not confident, but I'm very interested," Ye Chaoxiong said.

He had been in a high position for so long, and he wanted to lose more than he wanted to win. However, he was only willing to lose to his match.

Gu Ning smiled, but said nothing.

They played Sic Bo first as usual, and Ye Chaoxiong shook the dice cup before Gu Ning. Gu Ning gave the correct score and specific numbers once more.

Nobody was surprised by that anymore.

Ye Chaoxiong was the gambling magnate after all, so he was better than the other skilled gamblers in the room, so the first round was a tie.

However, no matter how good he was, he was still not comparable to Gu Ning who had a pair of Jade Eyes.

Gu Ning was able to tell the correct scores and specific numbers every round, while Ye Chaoxiong couldn't, so he sometimes lost.

They played Sic Bo for 10 rounds, and six of them were ties.

Ye Chaoxiong lost four rounds, not because he gave the wrong scores, but because he failed to tell the specific numbers.

From the first round to the last round, Ye Chaoxiong paid his full attention to the dice cup and he looked excited the entire time. He didn't feel unhappy at all even though he lost, because he had never enjoyed a game so much before. "Miss Tang, I have to admit that you're the best gambler I've ever seen!"

"I'm flattered, Master Ye," Gu Ning said politely.

The others in the room had already accepted that Gu Ning would never lose.

After that, Ye Chaoxiong and Gu Ning played 5 card stud and baccarat. Gu Ning was the winner again without a doubt.

In the end, Gu Ning won 10 million yuan from Ye Chaoxiong.

Ye Chaoxiong lost the least money out of everyone.

When the gambling competition ended, Gu Ning had won 606 million yuan in total.

"Miss Tang is the new God of Gamblers!"

"I think that Miss Tang is the number one gambler in the gambling industry."

"······"

They kept expressing their admiration and surprise towards Gu Ning in the following minutes.

"Well, can I ask you all for a favor," Gu Ning said all of a sudden.

"Sure," Ye Chaoxiong said.

"I hate being involved in trouble, so please keep it a secret," Gu Ning said with sincerity. It was true, but she also said that to keep their faces.

Gu Ning didn't know them well. What if they took revenge because they had lost too much money to her today?

She disguised herself so she wasn't worried that they would find her, but Leng Shaoting showed up with his real face. If they found Leng Shaoting's identity, it wouldn't be good.

In fact, the others all believed that Gu Ning would want to seize this chance to gain fame in the gambling industry, but Gu Ning did the opposite thing.

They couldn't believe that Gu Ning was willing to give up this great opportunity. None of them stopped chasing fame and wealth after all.

Actually, it wasn't their fault; the society was ill. If everyone valued fame and wealth above anything else, nobody could avoid chasing it.

Those skilled gamblers felt a little ashamed.

Ye Chaoxiong, however, understood Gu Ning's intention. He knew that she did that to keep their faces and self-respect.

She's a considerate and smart girl. He thought to himself.

Even though he didn't care much about his face, he should also consider others' feelings. Therefore, Ye Chaoxiong agreed.

After that, Gu Ning walked out of the room, and Ye Jiasheng sent her back to the hotel.

When she left, people walked her out with enthusiasm.

"Miss Tang, I'm your biggest fan now!" Ye Jiasheng said to Gu Ning. "By the way, did you really give up this great chance to be famous because you are afraid of trouble?" Ye Jiasheng thought that it couldn't be so simple.

Gu Ning didn't bother to lie to him. "Well, I am afraid of trouble, because I've won too much money from them. It's possible that they will take revenge. In addition, I'm not very interested in gambling, so I have no intention to become famous in this industry."

What? She's not very interested in gambling? Ye Jiasheng was shocked.

Given the unbelievable gambling skills of "Tang Aining", it was hard to believe that she had no intention to be deeply involved in this industry.

After driving Gu Ning back to the hotel, Ye Jiasheng left.

Ye Jiasheng had invited them to stay in City M for a few more days, and said that he could be their tour guide, but Gu Ning declined his invitation because they had to leave tomorrow morning.

Since Gu Ning needed to deal with her business, Ye Jiasheng didn't insist, but he offered to book plane tickets for them.

Gu Ning planned to find the boxes of treasure in HK, so she told him that she was leaving for HK. Ye Jiasheng then told Gu Ning that he would arrange a yacht for them.

They would leave for HK at 1 pm tomorrow after lunch.

…

It was almost 10 pm when they got back to the hotel. And Gu Ning was a little hungry, so she invited the others to have night snacks and also to celebrate her victory.

A group of them went to have some local food at a food street. Unfortunately, they encountered some trouble there. Gu Ning and her friends didn't cause the trouble, but two tables beside them did.

The people sitting around the table on their left came from another city, while the people around the table on their right were local citizens.

After eating for a while, those local citizens suddenly began to criticize those tourists from another city.

Those tourists were unwilling to cause trouble, so they tolerated it, but the local citizens wouldn't stop swearing at them. After a short while, the tourists couldn't stand it anymore. They started to fiercely argue with the local citizens.

912 Wan Baojie

No matter how fiercely they argued, no one stood out to mediate. Even the restaurant owner watched from the side with a cold face.

When those local citizens became more and more offensive, both Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting were annoyed. As a soldier who served his country, Leng Shaoting wouldn't tolerate the humiliation.

Right at this moment, the five local citizens gathered to punch the three tourists. If they were really involved in a fight, it wasn't very likely that the three tourists could win. However, the three tourists were unwilling to retreat. It was a matter of dignity after all.

Seeing that, Gu Ning moved her foot and kicked over a stool to stop the first local citizen who was dashing ahead of the others.

In an instant, he stumbled and fell. What was worse was that the two people who were right behind him knocked into him and fell to the ground too.

With several loud screams of pain, the three of them fell one after another.

It happened too fast and everyone was shocked.

When they realized that it was caused by Gu Ning, they were mad and snapped at her, "What do you mean?"

Gu Ning didn't stand up until now, followed by Leng Shaoting and her other friends. They stood in a line, facing those angry local citizens.

Leng Shaoting, Gao Yi and Qiao Ya weren't ordinary people at all, so those local citizens felt a little scared when they stared straight at them. They thought that they were Gu Ning's bodyguards.

Bodyguards were all good at fighting, while they were merely common citizens.

Gu Ning looked at them and said in a cold voice, "Do you really think that you're superior to people from other cities? Wake up from your dream, and show some respect. If you want a fight, come and beat me!"

Gu Ning didn't speak in the local dialect in order to show that she was also a tourist from another city.

The three tourists felt much better when Gu Ning stood out to side with them.

Those local citizens, however, ran towards Gu Ning to beat her. Nevertheless, just as they came near, Gao Yi and Qiao Ya kicked them away with great force.

"Jesus!"

Everyone was amazed. They had never seen anyone else who could kick a person meters away before.

The three tourists got excited at once. They felt quite honored that Gao Yi and Qiao Ya weren't weak at all.

"Look at you," Gu Ning sneered at them.

"How dare you hurt me! Do you know who I am?" A young man threatened Gu Ning.

He was the one who had stumbled because of the stool that was kicked by Gu Ning. It sounded like he had a powerful family, but Gu Ning didn't care about that.

"I don't care who you are, but you can't humiliate tourists in a public place!" Gu Ning said.

"You…" The young man was displeased. "I'm the eldest son of the Wan family. Do you know the Wan family? My family is the owner of Wanhuang Casino which is the third largest casino in City M. You just hurt me, and I promise that I'll pay you back!" he threatened Gu Ning again.

Hearing that he was Lord Wan, the onlookers were surprised. The Wan family was a well-known, super-rich family in City M after all.

All of a sudden, people had sympathy for Gu Ning, because they believed that Gu Ning was in big trouble now.

Gu Ning was just a tourist, so it was impossible for her to get away with it.

To their astonishment, Gu Ning sneered with disdain, "Oh, really? Show me how you're going to pay me back."

Gu Ning remembered that her second competitor at the gambling competition was precisely the leading role in the Wan family.

Even if the Wan family was going to punish her, they didn't have the ability to do so.

"You…"

Wan Baojie couldn't believe his ears. His family was influential in City M, and nobody dared to annoy him. Therefore, he said to Gu Ning, "Great, don't you dare run away!"

"Who do you think you are? Why do I have to wait for you here?" Gu Ning rolled her eyes at him.

"You…" Wan Baojie didn't know what to say. He was obviously reluctant to let them leave, but he couldn't beat them down either. What Gao Yi and Qiao Ya had just done scared him.

"Do you want to get away with it after beating us?" Wan Baojie's friend said in anger.

"You can try to stop me if you have the ability," Gu Ning said.

"You…" Wan Baojie's friend was struck dumb.

They had been beaten down in the fight, and now even failed to win the argument against Gu Ning. They couldn't be angrier right now.

"Baojie, do you need me to call some people for help?" someone asked Wan Baojie.

"Do it now!" Wan Baojie raised his voice and vented his anger at his friend. He couldn't swallow his anger, and was determined to teach Gu Ning a lesson.

The owner of the restaurant walked out at this time. He begged Gu Ning, "Please don't cause trouble in my restaurant. Would you please move outside?"

913 Ji Manlin Argues with Gu Ning

Gu Ning was also unwilling to cause trouble for innocent people.

"No problem," she said, then looked to Wan Baojie. "Are you sure that you are not going to let it go?"

Hearing that, Wan Baojie was annoyed again. "You just hurt us, so it's impossible that I'll let it go!"

"You just humiliated us in public. Do you think that's acceptable?" Gu Ning asked him.

Wan Baojie was struck dumb. He felt that he had done nothing wrong, but somehow felt a little guilty when Gu Ning questioned him.

"Baojie, do you need me to make the call or not?" Wan Baojie's friend asked him again.

Wan Baojie didn't know what to do now.

"Even though you want to call others for help, you must have the ability to keep us here first," Gu Ning said.

Wan Baojie thought that it was reasonable.

"Fine, forget it," Wan Baojie said in the end.

"What should we do now?" his friend asked.

"Well…" Wan Baojie was confused. He was reluctant to let them leave, but he couldn't keep them here either.

All of a sudden, Gu Ning thought that Wan Baojie was very funny, and he did not really seem to be a bad young man. In addition, they were already kicked away and hurt.

"You humiliated us first, and we hurt you afterwards. Why don't we let it go? You're not badly injured after all," Gu Ning said.

They were just kicked away and were only slightly hurt, therefore they had the energy to argue with Gu Ning right now. Moreover, they were all young men, and would recover soon.

Wan Baojie nodded and gave in. "Fine, you can leave."

Hearing that, the onlookers were surprised because they thought that there was going to be a fierce fight.

Wan Baojie was the head of his friend circle, so his friends all listened to him. After that, they left for the hospital, and Gu Ning went back to continue to eat.

Once Wan Baojie and his friends were gone, the three tourists walked over to thank Gu Ning. "Miss, thank you so much for your help."

"You're so good at fighting!"

"If we fought against them, we probably couldn't win."

…

After having night snacks, Gu Ning and her friends went back to the hotel.

Unfortunately, there was another problem in their way.

A woman suddenly ran to stop Gu Ning just as they entered the hall. It was Ji Manlin who was Ye Jiasheng��s admirer.

Leng Shaoting frowned and wanted to chase her away, but Gu Ning stopped him. She was curious what Ji Manlin was going to do. It must be something to do with Ye Jiasheng.

"Tell me, what's your relationship with Jiasheng?" Ji Manlin questioned Gu Ning without delay.

Gu Ning didn't want to cause any misunderstandings, so she explained with patience. "We're merely acquaintances."

"You're lying! If you're not close to him, why did he pick you up and send you back with his car?" Ji Manlin didn't believe Gu Ning's words. She couldn't find Gu Ning's identity, so she arranged someone to wait at the door.

The person told her that Ye Jiasheng sent Gu Ning and her friends back in person, and that they left to have night snacks after a while.

Ji Manlin then came over at once. She had waited for a whole hour and Gu Ning was finally back.

"Well." Gu Ning was amused. "Miss Ji, you want to hear my answer, but refuse to believe it. What's the point of asking me that question then?"

"Tell me, why did he pick you up and send you back in person?" Ji Manlin questioned Gu Ning again.

As long as Ye Jiasheng walked close to another woman, she would do everything she could to find out every detail.

Gu Ning realized that Ji Manlin was unreasonable, so she stopped explaining. "It's none of your business."

"I am his future wife, so it is my business!" Ji Manlin said with pride.

"Seriously?" Gu Ning sneered. "Miss Ji, didn't Ye Jiasheng say that he has no interest in you, right here earlier today? Don't you think that it's too shameful that you take yourself as his future wife? Please stay away from me, or I'll punch you away."

"You…" Ji Manlin was mad. "How dare you say that to my face? You can't bear the result if you annoy me!"

Gu Ning rolled her eyes. Why did these people love threatening others with their family backgrounds?

Leng Shaoting frowned when Ji Manlin threatened Gu Ning.

"Miss Ji, I don't want to waste time arguing with you in a public place. This is my boyfriend. Think about it. Don't you think my man is much better looking than Ye Jiasheng?" Gu Ning held Leng Shaoting's arm.

Hearing that, Leng Shaoting was cheered up. His girl was complimenting him.

914 A Shameless Woman

Gu Ning didn't know what was on Leng Shaoting's mind, or she would think that he was a little childish. However, no matter how childish he was, she still loved him.

A man would feel happy when his girl was complimenting him because he cared about her.

Ji Manlin didn't notice Leng Shaoting until now, and she was stunned by his outstanding appearance in an instant.

Jesus, he's so handsome! He's even taller and stronger than Ye Jiasheng.

Ji Manlin could barely move her eyes away from Leng Shaoting.

Gu Ning was displeased at seeing Ji Manlin's reaction, but she said nothing and pulled Leng Shaoting walking away.

"Hey!" Ji Manlin stopped them again. She wouldn't let Leng Shaoting leave just like that.

However, when she moved a step forward, Gao Yi and Qiao Ya gave her a cold glance, and she was frightened to the point where she couldn't move and could only watch them walk away.

At the same time, she got jealous of Gu Ning. She recognized that the clothing on Leng Shaoting was a very expensive designer brand. It was obvious that he was a rich man. He was tall, handsome and rich. There was no woman who wouldn't be attracted to him!

Ji Manlin thought of herself as a great beauty, and she was born in a super-rich family as well, but she somehow couldn't meet a quality man of the same level as her.

Ye Jiasheng was the only one who met her standards for a boyfriend in City M. She actually had no affection towards him.

Ye Jiasheng was indeed the most outstanding young man among the rich younger generation in City M, so Ji Manlin thought that he was qualified to be her boyfriend.

However, Ye Jiasheng had no interest in her. In fact, she knew it clearly, but she didn't care. As long as she wanted him, she would get him by hook or by crook.

She held that idea until Leng Shaoting appeared. Leng Shaoting now replaced Ye Jiasheng and became her target. Even if she had to win his heart with her body, she would be more than willing to lie naked on his bed. However, it wasn't easy for Ji Manlin to do that because of the two bodyguards by his side.

Once they entered the elevator, Ji Manlin walked over to see which floor they were going to.

Since the man was so rich, he had to be staying on the floor of presidential suites.

She was right. The elevator didn't stop until the 16th floor which was exactly the floor of presidential suites.

Ji Manlin then went to the reception desk and booked a presidential room on the 12th floor for herself.

She didn't know the number of Leng Shaoting's room, and she knew that the receptionist wouldn't tell her, so she decided to wait for Leng Shaoting on her own.

Early the next morning, Ji Manlin waited for Leng Shaoting downstairs. However, Leng Shaoting was still absent at 12 pm. Ji Manlin lost her patience, but had no intention to leave.

When it was a little past 12 pm, Ye Jiasheng showed up.

The moment Ji Manlin saw Ye Jiasheng, she was still interested in him, but she was now more attracted to Leng Shaoting, so she ignored him for the first time.

Ye Jiasheng came to pick Gu Ning up. He noticed Ji Manlin after he walked into the lounge. He thought that Ji Manlin was waiting for him there, so he turned around and walked aside at once.

To his surprise, Ji Manlin didn't follow him at all.

Around five minutes later, Gu Ning and the others appeared. The second Ji Manlin saw Leng Shaoting, she ran towards him.

Gu Ning and the others were annoyed when they saw Ji Manlin. Seeing her focusing on Leng Shaoting the entire time, Gu Ning understood that she came here for Leng Shaoting.

"Hi, nice to meet you. My name is Ji Manlin, I'm the daughter of the Ji family in City M." Ji Manlin introduced herself to Leng Shaoting, and pretended to be gentle and kind.

"Leave me alone," Leng Shaoting said and didn't bother to give her a glance.

Ji Manlin was stunned. She had never been treated like that in public by a man before!

"Miss Ji, what are you doing? Are you trying to seduce my boyfriend right in front of me?" Gu Ning was furious. Ji Manlin's actions really crossed the line.

"You…" Ji Manlin felt embarrassed, but still argued. "I'm not seducing him! Don't be so harsh on me! You're not married after all. Why can't I compete for his love?"

Hearing that, everyone was struck dumb.

She just tried to steal another girl's boyfriend right in front of the girl's face, but she doesn't think that it's her fault?

Onlookers couldn't believe their ears, especially the staff members at the reception who were aware that Ji Manlin's target was always Ye Jiasheng.

Even Ye Jiasheng couldn't believe it. Anyway, it wasn't a bad thing for him that Ji Manlin changed her target.

"I'm afraid that you'll be disappointed," Gu Ning sneered.

Ji Manlin was such a shameless woman!

"Oh, why? I don't think that you're better than me," Ji Manlin said with arrogance.

"You can ask him if you want to know the answer," Gu Ning said, then looked at Leng Shaoting.

Leng Shaoting was loyal to Gu Ning without a doubt. Ji Manlin was the cause of this problem, so Leng Shaoting blamed her for it.

"Disappear, now!" he said with a cold face.

Hearing that, Ji Manlin trembled a little in fear, and almost ran away.

915 Dive into the Sea Again

Even Ye Jiasheng felt stressed when Leng Shaoting was mad. Leng Shaoting was born to be a man of power.

Afterwards, he ignored Ji Manlin and held Gu Ning's hand while walking towards the door, followed by Gao Yi and Qiao Ya.

Seeing that, Ye Jiasheng followed them at once.

Ji Manlin didn't get her mind back until they were all gone. She collapsed to the floor feeling scared.

Onlookers also began to criticize her.

"She's so shameless!"

"How could she try to steal another girl's boyfriend right in front of the girl?"

"She doesn't have a clear understanding of herself. I think that the girl is much more beautiful than her."

"I agree."

"She has no sense of self-respect either."

"The handsome young man didn't bother to give her a glance!"

"I'm afraid that she has had sex with many men before because she's so easy."

"It's so disgusting!"

…

Hearing people's discussions, Ji Manlin was angry, but she had no energy to argue against them.

She still didn't think that she had done anything wrong. She simply wanted to chase her love, which wasn't her fault. It was hard to change a stubborn person's opinions.

…

Gu Ning received Ye Chaoxiong's call when they arrived at the wharf. Ye Chaoxiong invited her to visit City M again in the future if she was free.

Out of politeness, Gu Ning agreed, but it was up to her whether she would visit City M again.

Ye Jiasheng didn't leave until they were all on the yacht arranged by the Ye family.

Once Ye Jiasheng got home, Ye Chaoxiong asked him, "How is it?"

Ye Jiasheng said, "She already has a boyfriend who is also her bodyguard. He's taller, more handsome and more powerful than me. I don't think he's an ordinary man."

Ye Chaoxiong had the intention to let Ye Jiasheng chase Gu Ning. She was so good at gambling. If she married into the Ye family, the Ye family would be more successful.

It wasn't that they just want to make use of her, because they also had a good impression of "Tang Aining". If she was willing to marry into the Ye family, they would treat her well without a doubt.

Ye Jiasheng was also impressed by Gu Ning, so he was willing to chase her. Unfortunately, she already had a boyfriend. Besides, her boyfriend was more attractive than him.

Ye Chaoxiong was a little disappointed, but soon accepted it.

…

Half an hour later, Gu Ning and the others arrived back in HK. She told Gao Yi, Qiao Ya, and Leng Shaoting to go back to the hotel before her, because she needed to deal with something alone.

Although Leng Shaoting was worried about her safety, Gu Ning insisted on it, so he had to leave before her.

After that, Gu Ning went to rent a small yacht and sailed alone.

As a professional killer in her previous incarnation, she had to learn how to move by all modes of transportation.

Within 20 minutes, Gu Ning reached somewhere near the small island. She put on a wetsuit without an oxygen mask and other diving equipment because she didn't need them.

Once Gu Ning dived into the sea, she put the yacht into her telepathic eye space.

Her telepathic eye space had now expanded to 40 square-meters or so, which was enough to accommodate a four meter long and two meter wide yacht.

Just like that, the yacht suddenly disappeared from the sea, while Gu Ning was already deep in the sea.

Those men who had been left behind on the island by Gu Ning were still there. Although they got free after getting rid of the ropes, nobody came to rescue them. They kept waiting by the beach, hoping to see a ship or something.

They got excited when a yacht approached, but it soon disappeared. They didn't witness the scene where the yacht disappeared out of the blue, so they thought that it must have moved to another side of this island, but they still failed to find it.

Gu Ning swam to the passage in the sea without delay.

The waves moved violently by the reefs. If Gu Ning didn't have her magical power to protect her, she would have been pushed back.

It still wasn't easy for Gu Ning to get into the passage, because there were countless marine plants at the entrance.

Gu Ning removed those marine plants and disturbed a school of fish by accident. It was painful when those fish swam out together and hit her body.

When the school of fish was finally gone, Gu Ning swam inside.

This boat-way was blocked by the reef at the exit. After entering the undersea passage for about three meters, she passed the area that was sealed and came to the boat-way. It was time to leave the water.

However, the passage ahead was still long, cold and dark. Luckily, Gu Ning had her magical power to protect her body so she wasn't affected.

When she was about to reach the exit, she felt something twist around her foot. She was scared and looked down at once. It turned out to be a sea snake, which disgusted Gu Ning. She released her magical power to freeze it without hesitation, in case it bit her.

Afterwards, she took out a dagger and moved it off.

Right at this moment, Gu Ning found many bones of the dead entangled by creatures under the sea.

They were probably the people who made this boat-way, or people who came here to search for treasure.

It was impossible for ordinary people to survive here.

916 Let the Evil Jiao Ou

Gu Ning had her magical power to protect her, so she was able to stay safe and healthy.

In case anything else attacked her lower body again, Gu Ning decided not to float on the surface of the water any longer, and swam ahead.

About 20 meters ahead, the passage became wider, and she finally arrived at the bottom of the hole.

Once Gu Ning left the water, a group of bats flew around and made a lot of noise. Gu Ning took out her night-luminescent pearl at once to chase them away with its bright light.

It would be difficult to get the treasure. There were countless bats trapped inside, because they couldn't fly outside.

Gu Ning finally clearly saw the ship in front of her. She hadn't noticed that there was a flag with two bones crossing each other and a skull in the middle on it until now. In an instant, Gu Ning realized that this ship was a pirate ship.

In other words, This island was once the place where pirates lived.

Since this was a pirate ship, there must be many valuable things on it.

Because the ship has been parked here for too long, and the wood had decayed in a large area. Gu Ning wasn't sure whether it would collapse if she directly stepped on it. If it collapsed, those valuable objects would fall into the water, and some might be destroyed.

Besides, the boat was a little tall, and she was floating in the water, so she couldn't reach it at all. Fortunately, this cavern was large, and the water next to it could accommodate her yacht.

Gu Ning now realized that she should have taken out her yacht once she got into this passage.

Without further ado, she got on the yacht and began to observe the pirate ship. She needed to know whether she could step on it and how many things she could take away.

It turned out that there were more valuable things on this pirate ship than the sunken ship that Gu Ning had been to before. Most importantly, they were still in good condition.

Gold, silver, jewels, pottery, porcelain, books, paintings, clothing, ancient coins, and everything was all in a mess. These things added up to a dozen boxes, and most of them were gold, silver and jewelry, because they were the currency for general trading back then.

An idea dawned on Gu Ning. She could open a private museum with all of the real antiques she had found till now. It wasn't a bad idea in Gu Ning's eyes, and she could also sell tickets to visitors.

She used to think that she could sell the most valuable bronze bells at auction, but now she felt that it would be more attractive if she placed them in a private museum. However, it wasn't easy to open a private museum, because grave-digging was illegal.

Although Leng Shaoting could help her with it, she was still worried that it would cause him trouble.

She planned to ask him when she got back later.

After observation, Gu Ning found that the bottom of the ship had decayed because it had been immersed in water for so many years, but a large portion of the wooden boards which weren't soaked in water were still fine.

Gu Ning thought that it wouldn't collapse if she was very careful when she stepped on it.

After that, Gu Ning directly crossed over the gap between her yacht and the pirate ship. The gap wasn't wide, it was only about 30 centimeters. So it was easy for Gu Ning to cross it.

Gu Ning moved lightly and slowly. She took all the boxes into her telepathic eye space before she left.

All of a sudden, Gu Ning remembered the male ghost and the evil jiao in her telepathic eye space. She thought that she could have a talk with them right here.

This place was isolated from the outside. Even if they got mad, they wouldn't cause trouble for innocent people.

Thinking of that, Gu Ning put her yacht away, and swam to the passage at the other side. It led to the ground, not the ocean.

After climbing ashore, Gu Ning walked in for about ten meters before she let the evil jiao out. If it escaped, it would cause big trouble.

When the evil jiao found that it wasn't at the bottom of the sea, it was shocked. It was also surprised to see Gu Ning in different clothing.

Gu Ning removed her make-up as "Tang Aining" before she dived into the sea, so she looked like she usually did right now.

From the moment the evil jiao entered the telepathic eye space to the moment it came out, its memory was static, but the changes in the scene and Gu Ning's clothes reminded the evil jiao that something had happened.

"Tell me what has happened? Why am I here? Why is your clothing different?" it asked Gu Ning.

"I put you away and brought you here," Gu Ning replied.

"What? You put me away?" The evil jiao was shocked.

"Right, I caught your long beard when you were about to eat my night-luminescent pearl," Gu Ning said.

Hearing that, the evil jiao realized that Gu Ning had trapped him.

"How dare you trap me!" The evil jiao was furious.

"You wanted to eat my night-luminescent pearl first! I'm not dumb enough to wait there for you to eat it," Gu Ning said.

"You…" The evil jiao lost patience. "Give me the night-luminescent pearl, or I'll swallow you."

"Well," Gu Ning sneered, "to be honest with you, I can put you away again once you touch me."

917 Conquer the Evil Jiao and Eliminate the Male Ghos

"You…" The evil jiao was furious, but also scared. "What do you want?"

"I can provide you with my magical power for your inner discipline, but you must listen to my orders before it's done," Gu Ning said.

Hearing that Gu Ning was willing to provide her magical power for it, the evil jiao was cheered up, but it got angry when Gu Ning said that it had to listen to her orders. "What? You want me to listen to your orders at any time?"

"No pain, no gain. There is no free lunch in this world," Gu Ning said.

The evil jiao was struck dumb for a second. It didn't know how to pay for what it wanted, it had always grabbed whatever it wanted by hook or by crook.

Seeing the evil jiao's reaction, Gu Ning wore a resigned look. "Anyway, it's the condition I lay out. I provide you with my magical power, and you serve my needs at any time without complaints, or I'll put you away."

"You…" Although the evil jiao was annoyed at Gu Ning's threat, it thought that it wasn't a bad idea. It was very hard to find magical power, and the evil jiao was unwilling to be put into Gu Ning's telepathic eye space again.

After hesitating for a short while, the evil jiao agreed. "Deal."

"No betrayal. Keep that in your mind." Gu Ning warned it.

"I know, and I'll keep my word," the evil jiao said with pride.

Gu Ning smiled, but said nothing.

"Great, now I'll put you into my telepathic eye space for a while. It's full of magical power, and you'll naturally absorb magical power. I'll make other arrangements for you when I'm back at my place," Gu Ning said.

Even though the evil jiao was able to absorb magical power in the telepathic eye space, it couldn't use it for its inner discipline. It had to do it in the outside world.

Jiao lived in the sea, so it needed water. Without water, it could only survive for three days at the most.

Gu Ning planned to keep it in the telepathic eye space during the day, and let it stay in the swimming pool at night.

"Will you let me out after you put me inside?" The evil jiao was alert.

"I need you to deal with things for me, so of course I'll let you out,�� Gu Ning said and was amused.

"Fine." The evil jiao agreed.

Afterwards, Gu Ning walked forward and held its claw. In a second, the evil jiao disappeared.

It was the male ghost's turn now.

The second the male ghost was out, it was also surprised by the changes of the scene and Gu Ning's clothes. "What happened? Why am I here? When did you change your clothing?"

"I put you away and brought you here," Gu Ning replied. She gave the male ghost the same answer.

"What? You put me away?" The male ghost was shocked too, and moved a few steps backwards in fear. It remembered that it lost consciousness last time when Gu Ning caught it.

"Who are you?" the male ghost asked.

It didn't trust Gu Ning at all.

"It's not important, and now I'm giving you two choices. One, disappear completely; two, submit to me," Gu Ning said.

The male ghost was struck dumb. It couldn't believe that this young girl was so powerful and threatening. In fact, it stayed in this world only to protect Commander Hu's belongings, so it didn't care about anything else.

Oh, right, where are Commander Hu's belongings?

All of a sudden, the male ghost stared straight at Gu Ning and questioned her, "Did you take Commander Hu's belongings away?"

"Yeah, I did. I know that it's not right, but I won't put them back. It's been over a hundred years. Why do you have to guard them? Someone would take them away anyway. You can take revenge if you hate me, but it's impossible for you to win. I'll put you away and keep you in the space forever, or I'll burn you with fire till you're eliminated," Gu Ning said with confidence.

The male ghost understood that Gu Ning wasn't kidding. Since Commander Hu's belongings were already taken away by Gu Ning, there was no reason for it to stay in this world any longer. Therefore, it chose to be eliminated.

"I feel so guilty that I lost Commander Hu's belongings. I would rather be eliminated than stay here alone," the male ghost said. It didn't bother to struggle either, because it knew that it was meaningless.

Gu Ning was surprised by its loyalty to Commander Hu.

Because the male ghost had a strong feeling of guilt, it couldn't disappear by itself. Gu Ning could only burn it with flames.

"Are you sure? Being burnt is very painful," Gu Ning asked with a serious face.

"I know, and I'm not afraid of it," the male ghost said with determination.

"Great." Since it was the male ghost's choice, Gu Ning agreed.

The next second, a flame thrower and a can of gasoline appeared in her hands.

Seeing that, the male ghost was astonished. It was like a magic show.

The male ghost didn't move at all, but let Gu Ning pour gasoline on its body before she burned it. It yelled and screamed in the flames, which was quite scary.

Gu Ning thought that it was very noisy, but had no other feelings. Those who stayed on this island, on the contrary, were frightened.

They heard loud howls of anguish, and the ground was even shaking. It felt like an earthquake, and they were worried that the island would sink suddenly.

This island wasn't big, so it was very likely that it would sink someday.

918 From Hell

"What's going on?"

"No idea, it's so scary!"

"It sounds like a voice from hell."

"Don't scare me. There is no hell in this world."

"I don't know whether there is a hell or not, but the ground is shaking. Is it an earthquake?"

"Earthquake? Will this small island sink? I don't want to die young!"

"Me either! Are you dying?"

…

Around 20 minutes later, the male ghost stopped struggling and was burnt completely.

After that, Gu Ning left. She let the yacht out, then went to the blockage in the passage. When she got there she put the yacht away, and dived into the sea. After leaving the passage, she surfaced again far from the shore.

Gu Ning observed the surroundings for a while. When she was sure that there was nobody in her sight, she took the yacht out again, and sailed away.

Those men who were left on the small island didn't notice the yacht in the beginning, but they began to shout to it once they noticed it after it moved farther away.

However, no matter how loudly they shouted, Gu Ning couldn't hear them because of the sea wind. And even if she heard them, she would ignore them.

When she was about to arrive, she disguised herself as "Tang Aining" again, then went back to the wharf.

After returning the yacht, Gu Ning took a taxi and went back to the Gonghao Hotel.

…

Due to the support of so many important figures, Infinite Horror passed the censorship in a short time.

The person who was responsible for censoring the film was also scared when he was watching it. At the same time, he believed that it would be a great success.

Once it passed the censorship, it was set to be shown in theaters the next Saturday.

It took the shortest time to be shown in theaters.

After that, Fenghua Entertainment began to widely publicize it. News about Infinite Horror was still popular on the Internet, so many people were attracted to it.

The majority of them were interested in the film itself, while the rest was either curious about Gu Ning or Fenghua Entertainment.

Anyway, Infinite Horror was the most popular film right now, and the leading actors in it gained a lot of attention as well.

Chu Peihan's and her friends' faces were shown in the films, so many students in City F recognized them.

Although they just played unimportant roles in the film, they soon became popular in all of the high schools in City F.

Many schoolmates asked them whether Gu Ning had a relationship with Fenghua Entertainment, they gave them an affirmative answer with Gu Ning's permission.

Before long, someone revealed it on the Internet, and said that Fenghua Entertainment was owned by Gu Ning.

Once the post was out, the news spread abroad within a short time. Gu Ning, once again, became a hot topic on social media.

"OMG, Goddess Gu is the boss of Fenghua Entertainment."

"Jesus, she's so unbelievable! She owns Jade Beauty Jewelry, Charm and Fenghua Entertainment!"

"She must be super rich."

"I have a feeling that Fenghua Entertainment is going to be popular."

"It is popular right now."

"And it'll be more popular in the future."

"To be honest, I want to be an actor now because of Goddess Gu. I hope that she can sign me."

"It's not easy to do that."

"Fighting! If you want to be signed by Goddess Gu, you must be a lot more outstanding than your peers."

"In my opinion, I think Goddess Gu values talent and skills above appearances."

"I think so."

…

The news that Gu Ning was the boss of Fenghua Entertainment became one of the hottest topics on Weibo after a short while.

Gu Ning was really a frequent visitor of the list of the hottest topics. Her name now occupied almost half of the list.

Many celebrities got jealous of her again.

…

In the company of Fenghua Entertainment, the capital.

Staff members of Fenghua Entertainment paid attention to the news about their company the entire time. They didn't know that their real boss was an 18-year-old girl until now.

Nevertheless, they didn't think that a young girl wasn't qualified to be their boss, because Gu Ning was the most popular business woman these days. In addition, most of them had heard of Gu Ning's previous achievements and they were all her fans.

Therefore, they felt very proud after knowing that Gu Ning was their boss, and worked even harder.

Till now, Su Tongnuo and Xia Yichu were the only two artists signed by Fenghua, and they got along quite well.

They had read news about each other before their first meeting in real life, so they felt for each other.

They had an appointment to dine together tonight, but Xia Yichu suddenly had to deal with something else.

Xia Yichu's younger brother, Xia Yidong, wrote a song named Dedication a while ago. She recorded a sample and posted it online, then a director of a new TV series found and liked it.

919 A Strange Figure

Because this song was very suitable for their TV series, they wanted to buy it as the insert music in the show.

Insert music didn't sound very important, but it actually appeared throughout the show more often than the opening song and the ending song did.

Many people preferred to watch TV shows on the Internet nowadays, and they would normally fast-forward to the show without watching its beginning.

Sometimes, the opening song or the ending song would also be used as the insert music, so it depended on the quality of the song whether it could be popular.

Xia Yichu was signed by Fenghua Entertainment, and Xia Yidong cared about his older sister's career, so the director had to ask for Fenghua Entertainment's agreement. As for the singer, it had to be Xia Yichu.

Afterwards, the director discussed it with Fenghua Entertainment.

There was no reason for Fenghua Entertainment to turn the offer down, so they were meeting today to talk about the details.

Although Fenghua Entertainment would protect its artists from harmful unspoken rules, it was necessary for them to show up at some gatherings.

Xia Yichu was a singer who hadn't had her debut yet, so she had to seize every opportunity to gain attention. If she didn't show up, it might leave a bad impression on those who had the intention to cooperate with her.

Once her reputation was damaged, her career would be ruined.

In fact, it was enough if Xia Yichu and her agent went there, but Lu Xiao said that he was going with them too, which surprised them.

"Manager Lu, why are you going with us?" Xia Yichu couldn't believe her ears.

"Can't I?" Lu Xiao frowned.

"Of course, but…" Xia Yichu said at once.

It wasn't a big deal, and there was no need for Lu Xiao, who was the general manager of the company, to go there in person.

What she didn't know was that Lu Xiao went there because of her. Lu Xiao fell in love with Xia Yichu before he even realized it.

Even though there were no unspoken rules in Fenghua Entertainment, their clients might do something inappropriate, so he was worried about Xia Yichu's safety.

Xia Yichu's agent noticed something, but she wasn't sure about it. Xia Yichu's agent was a woman who was assigned by Lu Xiao too. He was unwilling to arrange a man to work with Xia Yichu.

…

It was around 5:30 pm when Gu Ning got back to the Gonghao Hotel, so she booked a private room without delay.

After that, she planned to call Leng Shaoting, Gao Yi and Qiao Ya. When she had just turned, she saw He Siyin.

He Siyin walked into the hotel with two of her friends, and she noticed Gu Ning as well.

He Siyin was surprised to see Gu Ning, because she thought that Gu Ning would directly fly back to City B after going to City M.

"Hi, I thought that you would directly fly back to City B after going to City M. Do you need to deal with something else in HK?" He Siyin walked to Gu Ning at once.

"Yeah, but it's already done, and I'm leaving for City B tomorrow morning," Gu Ning said with a smile.

"Have you eaten? Why don't we dine together?" He Siyin asked.

"Not yet, but I already booked a private room and will be dining with my friends," Gu Ning said.

"Fine." He Siyin didn't insist. "How about tonight? If you're free, you can have some fun with us at my family's clubhouse."

"Thanks, but we need a good rest tonight because we have to go to the airport early in the morning tomorrow." Gu Ning declined again.

"Well, do visit HK again if you're free in the future," He Siyin said in the end.

"I will," Gu Ning replied.

After that, they separated.

Gu Ning then called Leng Shaoting, Gao Yi and Qiao Ya to tell them to dine together.

After ordering the dishes, Gu Ning told Qiao Ya to book plane tickets for them.

It was only a little past 7 pm when they finished dinner, and Gu Ning along with Leng Shaoting went for a ride outside.

Gu Ning wanted to enjoy the beach, so Leng Shaoting borrowed a car from the hotel and they left for the seaside.

There were too many people on the beach near the center of the city, so they went to a place farther away from the crowd. The farther they walked along the coast, the quieter it was.

Leng Shaoting stopped the car by the roadside, then walked on the beach holding Gu Ning's hand.

"Shaoting, can I ask you something?" Gu Ning said.

Hearing Gu Ning's serious tone, Leng Shaoting got nervous. "Sure."

"Well, I have many real antiques with me now, and I don't think it's very profitable to run an antique store, so I plan to open a private museum. I can sell tickets and real antiques at the same time, but you know I got most of those real antiques by grave-digging. It's illegal and a big problem, so do you have any ways to solve it?"

"It's easy," Leng Shaoting said without hesitation. "We don't need to tell the authorities the truth, and we can also donate some pieces to the national museum to show our kindness. I think the government will permit it."

Hearing that, Gu Ning nodded. "Please help me with it."

"No problem," Leng Shaoting said. He was more than willing to help Gu Ning.

Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting walked a long distance, and it became darker because there weren't any street lights.

When they were about to walk back, something strange happened.

A black figure flashed by the nearby woods like lightning, which an ordinary person couldn't do. Not only was it strange, but it was also creepy.

Gu Ning suddenly had a premonition, and told Leng Shaoting to go over with her.

Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting ran much faster than ordinary people, but they were still slower than the black figure. Within several seconds, the distance between them and the black figure became longer.

920 The Evil Practice

Because Leng Shaoting was by her side, Gu Ning couldn't use her magical power to speed up.

She used her Jade Eyes when they were chasing the black figure, and was surprised to see that the black figure was covered in Yin.

What is going on here?

It didn't seem like the man was affected and harmed by Yin, because those who were affected by Yin would lose energy, but the man was obviously different. Yin enhanced his strength, but he was just a human being.

It was the first time that Gu Ning had encountered such a strange thing, so she couldn't figure out the reason.

There was another person on the man's shoulder, and the person's face also shocked Gu Ning.

The person's entire face was withered with a pair of protruding eyes, which looked terrible. The dead person was a young girl.

The black figure noticed that Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting were chasing him, so he threw the dead girl down and sped up, escaping.

Seeing that, Gu Ning understood that they couldn't chase him, so she gave up, and went to check the dead girl's condition. It was impossible that it was a normal death.

Leng Shaoting was also slightly scared when he saw the dead girl's face. He had never seen such a scary face before.

Gu Ning also noticed Yin on the dead girl's body, but this girl died because of it.

After observing for a while, Gu Ning found bite marks and broken blood vessels around the dead girl's neck. She thought of sucking blood at once.

Sucking blood? Is he a vampire?

After witnessing zombies, ghosts, and the evil jiao, Gu Ning wasn't surprised to run into a vampire. However, she lacked proof right now.

In order to get more information about it, Gu Ning took out her phone to search for it. She would probably find some useful information on the Internet.

Leng Shaoting was confused seeing what Gu Ning was doing now, but he didn't interrupt her.

She read many short articles about vampires, ghosts, and the Evil Practice.

People who joined the Evil Practice would practice inner discipline by sucking female virgins' blood. Once the victim was sucked of all her blood, her skin would wither.

This dead girl was about 17 years old, and it was very likely that she was a virgin. Therefore, Gu Ning thought that the black figure could be a member of the Evil Practice.

It was hard for Gu Ning to digest this shocking truth.

"What have you found?" Leng Shaoting asked.

"Let's talk about it later. It's very weird and creepy. We better not be involved," Gu Ning said.

Leng Shaoting also sensed that this crime wasn't normal, but he didn't know why.

After walking far away, Gu Ning said to Leng Shaoting in a serious tone, "Shaoting, have you ever believed in ghosts and monsters before you witnessed the zombies?"

"No," Leng Shaoting replied.

Leng Shaoting was very smart, and realized that this crime must have something to do with evil things since Gu Ning said that to him.

"Ghosts and monsters normally only appear in stories and films, but they have shown up in our real life. I have a feeling that something important is going to happen in this world," Gu Ning said.

Ever since she was reborn, she had encountered zombies, ghosts, the evil jiao and now a member of the Evil Practice.

There couldn't be only one member in the Evil Practice, and they must have their own range of activities.

Gu Ning thought that her rebirth might have caused the butterfly effect.

Leng Shaoting caught Gu Ning's hand tightly with worry. He clearly knew that Gu Ning was unusually intuitive. He was worried that Gu Ning might get involved in trouble.

"I just looked it up on the Internet, and I think it's highly possible for it to be a member of the Evil Practice. Members of the Evil Practice suck female virgins' blood to practice their inner discipline, and the dead girl is very young, about 17 years old," Gu Ning said.

Hearing that, Leng Shaoting was shocked.

"Do you believe in the Evil Practice?" Leng Shaoting asked.

"I'm confused," Gu Ning said. She hesitated to tell Leng Shaoting that she had met ghosts and the evil jiao as well.

"Don't worry. I'll protect you," Leng Shaoting said to comfort Gu Ning.

The next morning, Gu Ning and the others walked out of the hotel at 7 am heading to the airport, but four policemen stopped them.

They didn't know what they had done wrong.

"Good morning, we're from the local police station," the leading young policeman said and showed them his certificate. "We found a dead girl's body in the woods near the beach last night, and we've checked the surveillance cameras. Only you two have been there, so please follow us to the police station for the investigation."

This policeman was very polite.

"Policeman Zhao, don't waste time on it. They must be the murderers since only the two of them showed up there last night. We should directly arrest them before they escape." A policewoman walked over at this moment.
