Chapter 60 An Inescapable Harm

 　　Seeing her like this, Yinglin felt even more guilty. But she didn't know what to do. Then, exhausted, she went upstairs.

　　The next day, when Yinglin came downstairs, she saw Bingtong already sitting at her seat eating breakfast. However, because Bingtong's right arm was injured, it hurt when she raised it.
　　Seeing this, Yinglin immediately went to Bingtong's side and snatched the utensils from her hands. Bingtong was startled by Yinglin's action, and then she asked, "Ying'er, what are you doing?" "Nothing, your hand is injured, let me feed you!" Yinglin smiled slightly at Bingtong, and perhaps because of this smile, Bingtong didn't refuse. Yinglin
　　picked up the bowl of soup on the table, took a spoon, gently scooped up a spoonful, blew on it, and then held it to Bingtong's lips. Seeing this, the maids standing on either side of Bingtong were about to say something, but were stopped by a look from Bingtong.
　　Bingtong slightly opened her mouth and drank the spoonful of soup that Yinglin offered. This spoonful of soup contained so much emotion. Bing Tong didn't want to refuse. The two of them continued like this, one carefully feeding her, the other carefully drinking. The surroundings were so quiet, except for the soft sounds Bing Tong made as she drank.
　　Soon, Bing Tong finished the entire bowl of soup. Ying Lin put down the spoon, walked to Bing Tong's side, and said, "Bing'er, let's go to school!" She reached out to help Bing Tong, but Bing Tong looked at her and said, "You haven't eaten yet!" "No need, I'm not hungry," Ying Lin said with a smile, then walked to her side and gently helped her up.
　　Seeing her like this, Bing Tong couldn't help but worry, but she still let Ying Lin help her to the car. Then she watched Ying Lin get into the driver's seat, start the car, and drive towards the school.
　　Because Bing Tong's arm was injured, Ying Lin drove very slowly to avoid injuring her again. Looking at Ying Lin's earnest expression, Bing Tong couldn't help but feel helpless; perhaps she wasn't that fragile after all!
　　Although the car was driven very slowly, they eventually arrived at the school. Upon arriving at the school, they saw a large group of infatuated girls and boys standing at the gate. Yinglin drove to the school gate, parked, and got out. She walked to the other side and opened the car door for Bingtong, gently helping her out as before.
　　Just as they got out, they heard the screech of brakes from several other cars. Everyone looked over, but Bingtong stood quietly, her eyes fixed ahead. It was obvious they had returned. Sure enough, as soon as they got out of the car, people around them shouted, "Prince Yun, Prince Yu, Prince Yu, Prince Yi, I missed you all so much!" "Princess Xi'er, Princess Xuan, you're finally back!" (Author: Sigh! The same lines every day, aren't you tired?)
　　After getting out of the car, Youyun and the others immediately saw Yinglin, but the person next to her was... ................................................................................
　　Yuyun walked up to Yinglin first and said to her, "Ying'er, I'm back." "Welcome back," Yinglin said with a smile. Perhaps infected by her smile, Yuyun also smiled. Then he looked at Yinglin and asked, "Ying'er, who is this?" Because Bingtong had her back to them, Yuyun asked this question.
　　Hearing Yuyun's words, Bingtong turned around. Yuyun was slightly surprised when he saw her, but quickly recovered. He looked at Bingtong and said, "Bing'er, it's you! But why aren't you wearing a hat?" "I'll tell you about that later, let's go to the classroom!" Yinglin said to Yuyun before Bingtong could speak. "Okay! Ying'er, let's go!" Yuyun said and took Yinglin's hand.
　　Yinglin smiled at Youyun, then looked at Bingtong and said, "Bing'er, let's go into the classroom!" She took Bingtong's hand, but Bingtong seemed unwilling, shaking off Yinglin's hand and walking away alone. Yinglin watched Bingtong's
　　departing figure, her eyes filled with sadness again. Youyun happened to see this and looked down at Yinglin, asking, "Ying'er, what's wrong?" "Oh, nothing. Let's go to the classroom!" Hearing Youyun's words, Yinglin quickly composed herself and smiled at him.

Chapter 59 Guilt

 　　Seeing the sadness in Yinglin's eyes, Bingtong knew Yinglin was blaming herself again for not protecting herself. She forced a smile and said, "Ying'er, have you forgotten who I am? I'll be alright. Come on, I'll tell you what to do, and you can treat my wound."

　　"Okay!" Yinglin said, looking at her. Actually, Bingtong was the world's top genius doctor—Ailly. None of her patients died. However, very few could hire her, and very few had even seen her; her information and medical skills remained a mystery to the world.
　　Yinglin agreed because of Bingtong's identity.
　　Following Bingtong's instructions, Yinglin quickly removed the bullet. Because Bingtong insisted on not using anesthesia, her arm had bled profusely, and her face was extremely pale. Yinglin put down her tools and looked at her, saying, "Bing'er, how are you?" Bingtong bit her lip and shook her head. Seeing her like that, Yinglin didn't say anything more. She lowered her head and took out medicine and gauze from the first-aid kit to treat Bingtong's wound. However, in the instant Yinglin lowered her head, Bingtong saw the tears hidden in her eyes.
　　Bingtong fell silent, looking down as Yinglin carefully treated her wound.
　　Soon, Yinglin finished bandaging Bingtong's arm. After tidying up everything around her, she walked to Bingtong. Suddenly, she knelt down. Seeing this, Bingtong quickly stood up and said, "Ying'er, what are you doing?" "Bing'er, I'm sorry. I didn't protect you well. Punish me!" Yinglin said, her head bowed.
　　"Ying'er, it's not your fault. Don't always take all the blame upon yourself," Bingtong said, walking to her side and bending down to help her up, but Yinglin wouldn't stand up. She continued, "Bing'er, don't say anymore, it's all my fault. Father sent me here to protect you, but I've hurt you time and time again. It's all my fault." "No, it's not your fault. Get up quickly, or I'll have your father take you back." Seeing Yinglin still kneeling on the ground, Bingtong had no choice but to say these words.
　　"Bing'er." Hearing Bingtong's words, Yinglin looked up at Bingtong with teary eyes. Bingtong slowly squatted down and gently said to her, "Good girl, don't cry anymore, get up!" Then she slowly stood up with Yinglin. "Ying'er, don't take all the blame on yourself in the future, I won't blame you." Bingtong took the handkerchief from the maid and gently wiped Yinglin's tears. "Yes, I know." Yinglin looked at her and nodded slightly.
　　Seeing that Yinglin had finally stopped crying, Bingtong walked past her to the door. Those standing outside the door knelt down upon seeing Bing Tong emerge, saying, "Miss." Bing Tong looked at them and said, "No one is to speak of what happened today. Don't tell anyone. Remember, I said 'anyone.' Do you understand?" "Understood," everyone answered in unison. Then Bing Tong waved and entered the castle.
　　Inside, she saw Ying Lin still standing there. Bing Tong walked up to her and said, "Ying'er, go and rest early! It's getting late, we have to go to school tomorrow!" "Bing'er, you're injured. Maybe you shouldn't go to school tomorrow," Ying Lin said hurriedly upon hearing Bing Tong's suggestion. "It's alright," Bing Tong turned back and gave her a reassuring smile before walking to the stairs. Immediately, someone came and helped her upstairs.
　　Seeing her like this, Ying Lin felt even more guilty. But she didn't know what to do. Then, she walked upstairs, exhausted.

Chapter 58 You have overstepped your bounds

 　　"Then we'll go rest first," Wei Yi said, standing up, and then took Xi'er's hand and went upstairs. Now only Youyun and Yongyu remained downstairs. Yongyu walked to Youyun's side and said to him, "Don't be too emotional." After saying this, she also went upstairs. At this moment, Youyun's expression was very complicated. "Ying'er, who exactly are you?!" Youyun said after saying this, and also went upstairs.

　　At this time, Yinglin and Bingtong had already returned to the castle. They still remembered the scene when they returned to the castle... Yinglin
　　helped Bingtong and quickly walked to the road leading to the castle. Of course, many people dressed in black suits were standing on both sides of the road. When they saw someone coming, they immediately stood in the middle of the road and asked, "Who is it?" But no one answered them. It wasn't until they got closer that those people could see who it was.
　　Upon seeing that the newcomers were Bing Tong and Ying Lin, they hurriedly knelt down on one knee, saying, "Miss Bing, Miss Lan." Ying Lin helped Bing Tong slowly walk towards the castle. Those kneeling on the ground suddenly noticed some bloodstains. Then, looking up at Bing Tong and Ying Lin as they walked away, they were shocked to see that Bing Tong's arm was covered in blood. 'Her Highness is injured.' This was the first thought that crossed everyone's mind.
　　Ying Lin helped Bing Tong to the castle gate. The servants standing on both sides of the castle, seeing Bing Tong's injury, rushed to her side. Seeing that Bing Tong's right arm was stained red, the leader stepped forward and said, "Miss Bing, you are injured. Perhaps..." "No." Before she could finish speaking, Bing Tong weakly began. "But..." "There are no buts. Don't try to defy my orders." Bing Tong suddenly broke free from Ying Lin's support and stood fiercely in front of her.
　　Seemingly sensing the chill emanating from Bing Tong, the maid immediately knelt on the ground, trembling as she said, "I...I'm sorry, Miss, I overstepped my bounds."
　　Hearing this, Bing Tong said nothing more, for if she didn't receive treatment, she would surely die from excessive blood loss, and besides, her body was already exhausted. Even so, Bing Tong remained silent. She would bear all the pain alone.
　　Passing the maid, Bing Tong walked straight into the castle. Ying Lin glanced at the maid, then at Bing Tong's retreating figure, and smiled helplessly. She said to the maid, "Get up! Don't interfere in Bing'er's affairs anymore." Hearing Ying Lin's words, the maid quickly thanked her. Actually, Bing Tong was being merciful today; in the past, that maid would have died many times over. This time, it was because Ying Lin was present, and she was injured, that she spared the maid for the time being.
　　As Yinglin entered the castle, she saw Bingtong sitting alone on the sofa, a small, ornate first-aid kit beside her, which looked like a jewelry box to the untrained eye. Bingtong took out a pair of scissors and cut open her clothes to reveal her wound. Blood was still flowing from the gunshot wound.
　　Yinglin quickly walked to Bingtong, knelt down, and said, "Bing'er, should I call a doctor to treat you?" "No need," Bingtong replied without even glancing at her. How could she let a doctor treat her? Everyone would know she was injured. Then 'he' would definitely drop everything to come find her, so she absolutely couldn't call a doctor.
　　Yinglin had no choice but to accept Bingtong's words. She knew that once Bingtong spoke, no one could disobey. Seeing
　　the sadness in Yinglin's eyes, Bingtong knew that Yinglin was blaming herself again, blaming herself for not protecting herself. Then, with great effort, she forced a smile and said to Yinglin, "Ying'er, have you forgotten who I am? I'll be fine. Come on, I'll tell you what to do, and you can treat my wounds."

Chapter 57 I Believe in Her

 　　After finishing the phone call, Xi'er collapsed onto the sofa. Seeing her like this, Wei Yi was puzzled and asked, "Xi'er, what happened?"

　　"I..." Xi'er looked at Wei Yi, unsure what to say. "What happened? Xi'er, tell me quickly!" You Yun also asked, looking at her. "I... don't blame me if I tell you!" Xi'er said, looking at You Yun. "Okay, I won't blame you." You Yun nodded.
　　Seeing You Yun nod, Xi'er relaxed, and then slowly said, "Actually, today I sent some people to assassinate Bing Tong and Ying Lin, but..." "What? You actually sent people to assassinate them?" Before Xi'er could finish, You Yun stood up abruptly, looking at Xi'er angrily. "Yun, calm down, let her finish. Xi'er, continue, but what?" Wei Yi comforted You Yun and continued looking at Xi'er. Youyun didn't say anything more, and sat down to look at Xi'er.
　　"But all the men I sent out are dead," Xi'er said unwillingly. "What? How many men did you send?" Wei Yi asked hurriedly. "Fifty...fifty men," Xi'er said tremblingly. "What? All fifty of them are dead?" Wei Yi asked incredulously. "Yes," Xi'er nodded. "Were they injured?" Youyun asked hastily. "No, not at all," Xi'er said, lowering her head. "Oh, that's good." Youyun breathed a sigh of relief, and then everyone looked at him. This was too...
　　"Your men are only reporting back to you now," Wei Yi asked, looking at Xi'er. "Yes! I told them to wait for Bing and the others on their way home, but only now has someone reported back to me," Xi'er said. "Your people are so inefficient! We've been out of school for ages, how could Bing and the others be only just getting home!" Youyun said disdainfully. "What did you say? My people may not be as capable as yours, but they're very efficient." Xi'er stood up and said loudly. "Alright, stop arguing, sit down first." Wei Yi said hurriedly, afraid they would start fighting.
　　"How could they be getting home so late! Could it be..." Yongyu looked at them and said. "Hmm, that's the only explanation right now." Wei Yi said, frowning. "That's troublesome." Yongyu said, also frowning. "Yun, you must break up with Yinglin as soon as possible, she's not safe." Wei Yi said, looking at Youyun. "Isn't it still undecided?" Hearing Wei Yi tell him to break up with Yinglin, Youyun hurriedly stood up and said to him. "It's not a matter of whether it's undecided or not, we haven't confirmed her identity yet, just in case you're in danger." Wei Yi said to him, frowning. "I believe she won't pose a danger to me," Youyun said firmly. "Alright, we won't interfere then. Just be careful." Wei Yi knew he wouldn't listen to anything more, so he could only say this.
　　"I know what to do," Youyun nodded and said. "Alright, it's getting late, let's go rest!" Zi Yu, who hadn't spoken until now, suddenly said this. He slowly stood up and pulled Ci Xuan up. "Why do you always say that?" Yong Yu said helplessly to Zi Yu. Zi Yu didn't even look at him and went straight upstairs. "Yi, it's getting late, you two should rest here too!" Youyun said to Wei Yi. "Okay," Wei Yi nodded. "Someone, prepare two rooms for Young Master Yi and Miss Xi'er," Yong Yu called over a servant and instructed.
　　"Then we'll go rest first," Wei Yi said, standing up, and then pulled Xi'er upstairs. Now only Youyun and Yongyu remained downstairs. Yongyu walked over to Youyun and said, "Don't let your emotions get the better of you." After saying this, she went upstairs as well. Youyun's expression was very complicated. "Ying'er, who exactly are you?!" Youyun said, then went upstairs as well.

Chapter 56, what?

 　　After Yinglin left, Bingtong called out to those around her, "No need to hide anymore, come out!" Sure enough, a masked man emerged from a corner, holding a gun. It was obvious that he had fired the shot earlier.

　　"Heh! As expected of the Ice Master of Sakura Palace!" the man said unhurriedly. "I want to know who you are?" Bingtong asked, looking at the man. The fact that he knew her identity meant he was no ordinary person.
　　"Who am I? What if I don't tell you?" the man said mockingly. "Heh! Then you'll be doomed." Bingtong chuckled evilly, then slowly said.
　　"Heh! I won't die, because I know a secret about you!" the man said, walking up to Bingtong. Bingtong remained calm as he approached. She looked at the man before her with composure and slowly said, "Oh? What secret could I possibly have?" Bingtong said with a smile. The man watched her laugh so happily, then leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Oh? Don't you have any secrets, Qianxin Bingtong?" Hearing him say that name, Bingtong took a step back.
　　Her face pale, she said to the man, "Who are you? How do you know my identity?" "Heh! Knowing your identity is as simple as it gets," the man said slowly with a wicked laugh. "Who sent you?" Bingtong continued to ask. "The Buddha said: It cannot be spoken," the man answered Bingtong's question. "Oh? Since you won't say anything, what are you going to do? Kill me?" Bingtong looked at him and said. "Kill you? How could I do that! Killing a goddess revered by everyone would be a sin," the man said, rubbing his forehead. Now it was Bingtong's turn to feel helpless. Then she said, "Then what was the matter today?" 'Today's matter' referred to the shot just now. "Hehe! Nothing, you'll understand later," the man chuckled.
　　Suddenly a voice came, "Bing'er." It was Yinglin. "Remember, my name is Y." The man said this to Bing Tong, then flashed onto the roof and left. Bing Tong kept looking in the direction he left, not even noticing Ying Lin approaching her.
　　Ying Lin ran to Bing Tong and said, "Bing'er, are you alright? Who was that person?" "Oh? I'm fine." Bing Tong replied, coming back to her senses. Bing Tong didn't answer Ying Lin's last question, and Ying Lin knew that Bing Tong's silence meant she didn't want to talk about it, so she wouldn't force her. "Bing'er, you've lost a lot of blood, let's go!" Hearing Ying Lin say this, Bing Tong remembered that she was injured. Blood had stained her right hand. Ying Lin then slowly helped her back to the castle.
　　At this time, You Yun and the others had already returned to their home. Because Wei Yi had something to discuss with them, he also went back to their residence with them. Mo Xi'er insisted on going with Wei Yi, so Wei Yi had no choice but to take her along. The others didn't object, after all, Mo Xi'er was the leader of a gang.
　　As soon as Youyun got home, he sat down and said, "Ugh, I'm exhausted." Everyone rolled their eyes at him. Then everyone else sat down as well. Ziyu said to Cixuan first, "Xuan'er, if you're tired, go to sleep!" Cixuan shook her head at him, and Ziyu didn't say anything more.
　　Then Weiyi said to them, "Don't you guys think that the Ice Lord and the Evil Lord today look a lot like Bing and Yinglin from school?" "Yeah! I think so too." Yongyu sat down next to him and said. "And didn't you hear that? The name the Evil Lord called the Ice Lord at the end, Bing'er, isn't that what Yinglin called Bing at school too?" Weiyi continued. "Isn't Bing's name very similar to that Ice Lord's?" Youyun chimed in. "Yeah! Could it be..." Weiyi stopped there, but the others understood what he meant. "That's possible. Maybe we can test it out." Yongyu looked at him and said.
　　"How did we..." Just as Youyun was about to ask the question that had been bothering him, a voice suddenly rang out. Xi'er took her phone out of her pocket and answered it without bothering anyone else. "What?" Xi'er exclaimed. Seeing her like this, everyone was also puzzled as to what had happened.
　　After hanging up, Xi'er collapsed onto the sofa. Wei Yi, seeing her like this, asked in confusion, "Xi'er, what happened?"

Chapter 55 No Need to Hide Anymore

 　　Seeing them leave, Youyun put down his wine glass and walked to Ziyu and the others, saying, "Let's go too!" "Okay." Everyone nodded and left.

　　Ming stood at the top, watching Ziyu and the others leave. Then he called over a few people and said, "Clean this place up." After saying this, Ming also left. He had more important things to do now.
　　Meanwhile, Bingtong and Yinglin were walking home. Yinglin had originally said she would drive, but Bingtong insisted on walking.
　　Bingtong walked slowly on the road, while Yinglin walked beside her. The two didn't speak, just walked quietly. They no longer wore masks, revealing their stunningly beautiful faces. Perhaps because Bingtong was so beautiful, even the moon shyly hid behind the clouds. At this moment, there was no one else on the road except them, making it seem particularly eerie. Just as they were about to reach the private road leading to the castle, Bingtong suddenly turned to Yinglin and said, "Be careful." "What?" Before Yinglin could react to what Bingtong said, a group of people suddenly emerged from all around. Now Yinglin understood everything.
　　Bingtong and Yinglin stood back to back. Watching the group slowly approach them, Yinglin asked, "Who are you?" "The ones who want your lives." The leader winked at those around him, and everyone rushed forward. They were no match for Bingtong and her group, who quickly dispatched them all. After
　　dealing with everyone, Yinglin walked up to the leader and asked, "Tell me, who sent you?" Seeing his men killed, the leader looked at Yinglin and said, "It was...it was our gang leader who ordered us to kill you." His voice carried a hint of fear. "Oh? Your gang leader? Who is he?" Yinglin continued to ask. "It was...it was Mo Xier." The leader said, trembling. "Please, spare my life, I know I was wrong." The leader knelt before Yinglin and pleaded. "Alright! Go!" Yinglin said sweetly.
　　Hearing her words, the leader hurriedly kowtowed several times, then stood up and ran away. Yinglin, however, wasn't so kind. She noticed a pistol had appeared in her hand sometime during the night. She slowly picked it up and aimed at the man. "Bang!" A sound rang out, and the man turned to look at her in disbelief before collapsing to the ground.
　　After hearing the sound, Yinglin quickly turned to look at Bingtong. She had clearly heard two gunshots.
　　Sure enough, Bingtong was clutching her arm. Yinglin rushed to her side and asked, "Bing'er, are you alright?" "I'm fine. Go chase after that man; he's around here," Bingtong said, her face pale. "But..." "No buts, go quickly," Bingtong said, enduring the pain. "Okay, I know. Bing'er, wait for me here. I'll be right back," Yinglin said anxiously, then ran off in one direction.
　　After Yinglin left, Bingtong called out to those around her, "No need to hide anymore, come out!" Sure enough, a masked man emerged from a corner, holding a gun. It was obvious that he had fired the shot earlier.
　　(Oops, Bingtong is injured! What will happen in the next chapter? Who is this man? Please read on to find out!)

End of Chapter 54

 Just as everyone was gripped by fear, Bing Tong said to them, "The idea that obtaining magic crystals can lead to rule of the underworld is pure rumor. Everything depends on strength; strength is king."

Hearing this, everyone looked up at Bing Tong. Their eyes no longer held fear, but rather awe for Bing Tong and her companions. You Yun and the others also looked at Bing Tong and her group with admiration. Although they were just two little girls, their methods for handling matters were exceptionally skillful.
Seeing that everyone's fear had subsided, Bing Tong continued, "This gathering is over. Everyone can leave now." Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Then, one by one, they approached Bing Tong to say goodbye. Bing Tong simply waved them away.
Many left, because they didn't want to stay there for even a second longer. Accompanied by the smell of blood and Bing Tong's cold gaze, this place was truly hell.
Seeing everyone leave, only You Yun and the others remained. Bing Tong glanced at Ying Lin. Yinglin immediately understood and said to them, "I wonder what the gang leaders are doing here so late?" Hearing Yinglin's words, Youyun and the others looked up at them. "Heh! Nothing, I just thought it was quiet here and wanted to stay a little longer," Youyun said with a smile. He then slowly walked to Yinglin's side. Yinglin watched him approach step by step, feeling a little nervous.
Youyun stood in front of Yinglin, raised his wine glass, and said, "Evil Lord, would you do me the honor?" "Of course, how could I refuse an invitation from the Blood Burial Gang leader!" Yinglin stood up and said to him, raising her glass. Then the two clinked glasses. Yinglin slowly took a sip, while Youyun drank it all. "You'll die if you drink like that," Yinglin said anxiously when
she saw her finish. Hearing this, everyone looked up at her. Yinglin blushed when she saw Youyun suddenly look up at her, but because she was wearing a mask, it wasn't noticeable. She slowly said to Youyun, "Why are you looking at me like that?" "Oh, nothing, I just think you look a lot like my girlfriend." Hearing Yinglin's words, Youyun immediately realized what she meant and looked at her.
Yinglin was incredibly excited at that moment, but she quickly suppressed it and looked at Youyun, saying, "Oh? Really? I didn't expect the fourth leader of the Blood Burial Gang to already have a girlfriend!" "Yes." Youyun wasn't shy at all; he admitted it calmly. Yinglin was already overjoyed; she hadn't expected Youyun to be so open about having a girlfriend.
"Alright, stop talking. We should go." Bingtong saw them chatting happily and was worried that Yinglin would give herself away if they kept talking. After hearing what she said, Yinglin said to her, "Okay, Bing'er, I understand. Let's go!" Hearing her call her that, Bingtong instantly felt an urge to strangle her. Yinglin seemed to realize her mistake. She instinctively covered her mouth and slowly looked at Youyun and the others. Sure enough, a hint of doubt flashed in their eyes.
Seeing this, Yinglin knew she had messed up. Bingtong, seeing her like this, said helplessly to everyone, "Gentlemen, today's gathering is over. We have other matters to attend to, so we'll be leaving now. Please make yourselves at home." Then she walked to Yinglin's side and pulled her up. Seeing that Bingtong didn't do anything to her, Yinglin quickly returned to normal and walked towards the door with Bingtong. "I wonder if we'll have a chance to meet again!" Bingtong and the others suddenly heard Weiyi say to them as they were about to reach the door. "If fate allows, we will meet again. I just hope we won't be enemies then." After saying this, Bingtong left. Yinglin followed closely behind.
Seeing them leave, Youyun put down his wine glass and walked to Ziyu and the others, saying, "Let's go too!" "Okay." Everyone nodded and left.
(Finally finished writing about the gangster gathering! What will happen in the next chapter? Stay tuned! Don't forget to support Darling!)

Chapter 53 Strength is King

 　　"No, no, I beg you! My husband will give you money, he'll come to save me, don't touch me!" the woman cried out. "Ha! Look at that, how much your woman trusts you!" Yinglin said sarcastically. "No, I know I was wrong, please let them go!" the leader of the Yan Gang knelt on the ground and pleaded. "You know you were wrong? Here's a knife, cut off both your arms and we'll let them go." After saying this, Bing Tong continued to sit in her seat.

　　The leader of the Yan Gang looked at the dagger on the ground and smiled bitterly. Then, he shakily picked up the dagger, hardened his heart, and slashed his left hand. Yinglin covered her eyes with her hands when she saw this, saying, "Oh dear, how can I, so innocent, see this?" But the gaps between her fingers betrayed her, and everyone couldn't help but look at her with contempt.
　　The leader of the Yan Gang used all his strength to cut off his left hand, gritting his teeth to keep himself from screaming. But he couldn't cut off his right hand. Seeing this, Bing Tong waved to Ming and said, "Ming, go help him." "Yes." Ming walked to the gang leader's side, squatted down, picked up his arm, and pulled hard, tearing the arm off. "Ah!" The gang leader screamed loudly as he lay on the ground. After doing this, Ming returned to Bing Tong's side.
　　You Yun and the others standing to the side couldn't help but marvel at Ming's skill.
　　Seeing the Yan Gang leader like this, the other gang leaders tacitly took a step back. They were shocked by Bing Tong's ruthlessness. "Someone, bring the Yan Gang leader's wife and children up." Seeing that the Yan Gang leader had done as she said, Bing Tong waved her hand and ordered.
　　After a short while, the Yan Gang leader's wife and children were brought up. The wife of the Yan Gang leader was the first to see her husband. She rushed to him in a panic, crying loudly, "Yan, how could you become like this! Don't die! I can't live without you!" The Yan Gang leader, seeing that Bing Tong had indeed kept his promise and released his wife and child, stood up with his wife's help. Looking at Bing Tong, he said, "Bing Tong, I won't let this go so easily." "Hmph! You're welcome anytime," Ying Lin said disdainfully.
　　The Yan Gang leader glared fiercely at Ying Lin, then said to his wife, "Let's go!" He then glanced at his son. The son followed silently behind them. The guards at the door immediately opened it for them. Reaching the door, the Yan Gang leader turned and glanced at them before leaving.
　　After the Yan Gang leader left, the door was closed again. The other gang leaders stood rooted to the spot, not daring to breathe. They had witnessed the ruthlessness of Bing Tong and Xie Tong.
　　Bing Tong sat quietly, savoring her wine. Ying Lin did the same, but her eyes would occasionally dart downwards, making everyone uneasy.
　　Suddenly, Bing Tong stood up and handed the wine to Ming beside her. She then took something out from behind her back. When everyone looked closely, they were all shocked. Even Wei Yi, who had been standing in the corner, suddenly stepped forward. Seeing him, everyone else followed suit. Ying Lin also suddenly stood up.
　　"How did the magic crystal end up in your hands?" Wei Yi asked, staring at the magic crystal. "Heh! Who knows! I got it by accident." Bing Tong's nonchalant tone ignited a surge of anger in Wei Yi. "What's wrong, Yi?" Yong Yu asked, walking to Wei Yi's side. "I'll tell you when we get back. It's not convenient here," Wei Yi said in a low voice.
　　Everyone stared at the magic crystal in Bing Tong's hand. They knew that possessing the magic crystal meant controlling the underworld. Suddenly, Bing Tong threw the magic crystal into the air. Many people scrambled to grab it, but Wei Yi and the others didn't move. They knew that the Ice Master of Sakura Palace wouldn't hand over the magic crystal so easily; there must be a trap.
　　Sure enough, when a gang leader grabbed the magic crystal, it suddenly split into several pieces. He stood frozen, bewildered. The others, realizing it was a trap set by Bing Tong, suddenly retreated several steps, moving away from him.
　　The man held the shattered magic crystal in his hand. A moment later, he collapsed, his body convulsing. Soon after, blood began to flow from his seven orifices. The crowd retreated a few more steps, their eyes wide as they watched their gang leader slowly die before their eyes.
　　Just as everyone was filled with terror, Bing Tong said to them, "Obtaining a magic crystal and you can rule the underworld? That's pure rumor. Everything depends on strength; strength is king."

Chapter 52 Self-Crippling Arms

 　　"Oh, what a beautiful woman! What a pity..." Yinglin shook her head a few times, seemingly regretting it. "Release my wife and son immediately, or I will kill you all!" The leader of the Yan Gang shouted at Bing Tong and the others, seeing his beloved woman tied to the bed.

　　"Release them! No way! I haven't had enough fun yet!" Yinglin put down her wine glass and looked at him. "Tell me! What do you want in return for releasing them?" The leader of the Yan Gang relented, after all, his wife and son were in their hands.
　　"What do we want? Heh! How ridiculous, we should be asking you! What do you want?" Yinglin sneered at him, her whole being exuding an evil aura. "Me? What about me?" the leader of the Yan Gang asked, puzzled. "Bang!" Bing Tong shoved the stool aside and stood up, looking at him and saying, "Do you think we don't know what you've been doing behind our backs?"
　　"What things?" The leader of the Yan Gang seemed unaware of the impending doom, looking at Bing Tong and the others with righteous indignation, "Ha! You won't admit it! You trafficked children, secretly attacked us, spread rumors in the underworld, isn't that enough?" Ying Lin looked at him and slowly recounted his crimes.
　　"You... how did you know?" The leader of the Yan Gang couldn't believe they knew. "Ha! If you don't want people to know, don't do it in the first place," Ying Lin said.
　　"Ha! So what if that's the case?" The leader of the Yan Gang smiled disdainfully and slowly walked forward. Suddenly, a dagger stabbed towards Ying Lin. "Watch out!" You Yun shouted, not even knowing why, just instinctively uttering those words. Yinglin smiled, reached out and grabbed the dagger, then plunged it into the gang leader's hand. "Ah!!!" he screamed and stumbled back a few steps. "Heh! I see you don't want your wife and son anymore!
　　Someone
　　, give the order that the mother and child don't need to stay any longer," Yinglin said coldly. Then, two images appeared on the screen. Needless to say, the same two images as before. But unlike before, the snakes surrounding the little boy suddenly slithered towards him rapidly. The boy tried to speak in terror but could only stammer a few words. Meanwhile, a group of men were tearing at the woman's clothes.
　　"No, no, I beg you! My husband will give you money, he'll come to save me, don't touch me!" the woman cried out. "Ha! Look at that, how much your woman trusts you!" Yinglin said sarcastically.
　　"No, I know I was wrong, please let them go." The leader of the Yan Gang knelt on the ground and pleaded. "Do you know you were wrong? Here's a knife, cripple your own arms and we'll let them go." After saying this, Bing Tong continued to sit in her seat.

Chapter 51 The Compromise of the Yan Gang Leader

 　　Soon, Ming brought out the wine. Following Bing Tong's orders, Ming poured a glass for each of the gang leaders.

　　Youyun and the others each took a glass and slowly sipped it. "Unexpectedly! We're drinking this kind of wine again." Youyun said to Yongyu. "Yeah! Hehe." Yongyu looked at him and said.
　　"Pah, what kind of wine is this! It's awful! This wine can be called our signature wine?! It's an insult." The leader of the Yan Gang took a sip of wine and then spat it out, throwing the glass on the ground and cursing loudly. The wine spilled onto the carpet.
　　Instantly, a chill ran through the air. Youyun looked at the leader of the Yan Gang and said, "Leader Yan, even if it's not good, it was still a gift from Lord Bing. We should at least give Lord Bing some face!" "Face? Bah! A little brat wants face? What a joke." The leader of the Yan Gang seemed unaware of his mistake and continued to curse arrogantly.
　　At this moment, Bing Tong was sitting in her seat, holding a glass of wine, occasionally swirling it and taking a sip. She coldly watched the conversation below. Suddenly, she sneered and said to the leader of the Yan Gang, "Heh! The leader of the Yan Gang, is that it? What makes you think I'm just a child?" The coldness in her words sent a chill down one's spine.
　　The leader of the Yan Gang turned to look at Bing Tong and said, "What makes me think I'm just a child? Because my gang is stronger than yours." "Oh? Is that so?" Bing Tong remained seated and said to the leader of the Yan Gang.
　　Youyun and the others watched their conversation from a corner. Wei Yi suddenly said to Zi Yu, "Yu, this Ice Master doesn't seem simple! Just from her aura, you can tell she's not an ordinary person." "Yeah, she exudes a cold aura. But, I think she seems more like someone else," Zi Yu said, glancing at Bing Tong. "Yes! Her aura, and the way she drinks, are very much like ice," Wei Yi added, somewhat puzzled. "And look at that Evil Master, she hasn't said a word since she sat there, just slowly sipping her wine. But her eyes have been fixed on the leader of the Flame Gang," Youyun chimed in. "And I feel like I know her! But I can't remember who she is?" Youyun continued. "Yes! Very familiar," Yong Yu added, walking over to them.
　　While Youyun and his group were discussing, they suddenly heard the leader of the Yan Gang say, "Hmph! Just two little brats, what's so great about them?" With that, he kicked over a stool that was lying nearby. Seeing this, Yinglin couldn't hold back any longer. She stood up abruptly, but Bingtong raised her hand to block her way.
　　Helpless, Yinglin had no choice but to sit down again. Then, Bingtong took something resembling a remote control from Ming's hand. With a gentle press, a large screen suddenly appeared behind Bingtong and the others. "How many mechanisms are in here?!" Youyun asked, walking over to Ziyu. "I don't know, let's see what she's going to do first," Ziyu replied, looking at the screen.
　　"I wonder what you're doing with all this? Is it just for show?" the Yan Gang leader continued, while Bingtong gave a cold laugh. Then she pressed another button, and an image appeared on the screen. A little boy was tied to a wooden stake, surrounded by snakes that glared menacingly at him. Fear filled his eyes, and a closer look revealed blood trickling from his mouth. The leader of the Yan Gang immediately recognized him as his son. He looked at Bing Tong and said, "What did you do to my son?" Seeing the anger in his eyes, Ying Lin, who had been silent until now, suddenly laughed.
　　Bing Tong turned to look at her, stopped laughing, and said to the Yan Gang leader, "Hehe, nothing much! I just thought he was too troublesome, so I cut off his tongue." A cruel truth was so easily revealed by a little girl.
　　Hearing Ying Lin's words, many gang leaders couldn't help but gasp. The Yan Gang leader was so angry he couldn't speak. He pointed at Ying Lin and said, "You...you vicious woman! I'll kill you!" "Oh? Kill me? Do you have the ability?" Ying Lin said playfully. "Heh! Keep watching!" Bing Tong said. Then she pressed another button, and the screen changed. The scene now showed a woman lying on a bed, her hands and feet bound tightly, bleeding from the bindings. Four or five men stood around her, shirtless, approaching her. The woman screamed loudly; if you listened closely, you could hear her crying out: "Yan, come save me! Waaah..."
　　"Oh, what a beautiful woman! What a pity..." Yinglin said, shaking her head a few times, seemingly in regret. "Release my wife and son immediately, or I will kill you all!" The leader of the Yan Gang, seeing his beloved woman bound to the bed, shouted at Bing Tong and the others. "Release them! No way! I haven't had enough fun yet!" Yinglin put down her wine glass and looked at him. "Tell me! What do you want in return for releasing them?" The Yan Gang leader relented, after all, his wife and son were in their hands.

Chapter 50 The Flame Gang's Provocation

 　　Bing Tong looked towards the doorway, when suddenly six figures caught her eye. Seeing Bing Tong staring intently at one spot, Ying Lin followed her gaze and exclaimed in surprise, "Bing'er, I didn't expect them to be back!" "Yes," Bing Tong nodded, then continued looking at 'them' at the doorway. Indeed,

　　"they" referred to You Yun, Zi Yu, Yong Yu, Wei Yi, Ci Xuan, and Mo Xi'er. You Yun and the other two were the leaders of the third-largest gang in the world. Mo Xi'er was the leader of the seventh-largest gang. Ci Xuan, however, was nothing special; she had come here because Zi Yu was worried about her safety. But Zi Yu was unaware that this was the most dangerous place.
　　Bing Tong watched as Zi Yu and the others walked to the doorway. Ming, who was guarding the entrance, saw them arrive and stepped in front of them, saying, "Masks are not allowed here." "Just as he finished speaking, he saw Zi Yu take out the invitation and hand it to him. Ming saw that it was from the leader of the world's third-largest gang, and then walked aside.
　　There's a rule in the underworld that the founders of the world's top three gangs can wear masks in public. That's why Ming stepped aside.
　　Ying Lin sat in the private room watching Ming make way for them, then looked at Bing Tong and said, "Bing'er, Yun and the others are one thing. But why is Mo Xi'er wearing a mask too! Shouldn't we stop her?" Hearing Ying Lin's question, Bing Tong looked at her and said, "Ying'er, it's okay, she'll get what's coming to her. But..." "Bing Tong frowned as she spoke. 'Ci Xuan is here too. It's dangerous here.' Bing Tong thought worriedly, looking at the figure.
　　Time passed slowly. Soon it was 6:30. Bing Tong glanced at the situation outside and saw that most of the people had arrived. Then she pressed a button to connect with Ming and said to him, 'It's time. Send some people to guard that place. You go and entertain those people first. We'll go out later.' 'Yes.' Ming left some people at the door, then went inside and closed the door. Seeing
　　the door closed, some of the gang leaders were puzzled. They walked up to Ming aggressively and said, 'Kid, what's the meaning of closing the door?' 'Hehe, Gang Leader Yan, this is just to make it easier for us to have a better gathering. There's no other meaning. Please rest assured, Gang Leader.' Ming was not afraid of the murderous glares of the gang leaders and answered calmly. 'As expected of the protector of the second-largest gang in the world, he can still speak calmly in the face of such a situation. Ha!'" "Wei Yi said to You Yun and the others.
　　At this moment, You Yun and the others were standing in a corner, discussing something among themselves.
　　When the leaders heard Ming say this, they didn't pursue the matter any further. Anyway, there were so many people here, they wouldn't dare to do anything. Then the leaders returned to their original positions.
　　"Why hasn't the leader of Sakura Palace shown up yet?" You Yun asked. "Who knows! But I heard that the leader of Sakura Palace is two young girls! I'm very curious." "What? Two young girls?" Hearing Yongyu's words, Youyun's curiosity was immediately piqued.
　　Even Ziyu, who had been silent, was a little curious. He had also heard that the leaders of Sakura Palace were two young girls, and he was very curious about what kind of people could create a gang that surpassed theirs.
　　A long time passed, until everyone was getting impatient. Suddenly, the door to the private room opened. Hearing the sound of the door opening, everyone looked in that direction. Two girls walked out of the room, and without even looking, they knew they must be the two leaders of Sakura Palace. Ming and the others saw Bingtong and Yinglin walk out of the private room, walked up to them, knelt down on one knee, and said, "Bingzhu, Xiezhu." Bingtong nodded and waved to him, and then Ming and the others stood up. Bingtong and Yinglin walked straight past everyone and sat down in the seat at the very top. Ming also stood next to them.
　　"Hey, you're just two young girls, what's so great about you?" "A gang leader stood in front of Bing Tong and the others and said. This gang leader looked to be in his thirties or forties. Hearing this, Ming was about to make a move when Bing Tong turned her head and glanced at him. Seeing Bing Tong's cold eyes, Ming stood still.
　　Bing Tong slightly curled her lips, ignoring the gang leader's words, and said to everyone, "It must have been difficult for everyone to get to this place. Since you're here, why not try our signature wine? Ming, prepare a cup of 'Demon's Blood' for each gang leader." "Yes." Ming said, and called some people to prepare the wine.
　　Hearing 'Demon's Blood,' everyone was surprised. "It is said that the recipe for Demon's Blood was lost a long time ago. I didn't expect to see such a famous wine here today. Bing Tong, you are indeed extraordinary!" The previous gang leader, Yan, stepped forward and said. "Hehe, how could that be! I just happened to see someone who knew how to make this wine." "Bing Tong chuckled lightly.
　　Soon, Ming brought out the wine. Following Bing Tong's orders, Ming poured a glass of wine for each of the leaders.

Chapter 49 They're back

 　　After Bing Tong saw Ming leave, she closed her eyes. "Bing'er..." Ying Lin, who was about to say something to Bing Tong, stopped herself when she saw Bing Tong close her eyes. She knew that although Bing Tong pretended to be relaxed in front of her, Bing Tong had many things to deal with every day. She must be very tired. Ying Lin just kept watching Bing Tong until she woke up.

　　Bing Tong remained asleep until she slowly opened her eyes. Seeing Ying Lin sitting there drinking alone, she slowly sat up. Ying Lin, who was drinking, put down her glass when she saw Bing Tong get up. Looking at Bing Tong, she said, "Bing'er, are you awake?" Bing Tong nodded and asked, "What time is it?" "Six o'clock," Ying Lin said, frowning. For some reason, Bing Tong seemed very tired today. Ying Lin had gone out several times, but Bing Tong hadn't woken up. She had no choice but to send some people to guard the door.
　　Seeing Bing Tong's thoughtful expression, Ying Lin softly asked, "Bing'er, what's wrong?" "Oh! Nothing," Bing Tong suddenly replied, snapping out of her reverie. She then pressed a button under the table, and Ming quickly entered.
　　Ming knelt before Bing Tong, asking, "Bing-zhu, what brings you here?" "Has the location been decided?" Bing Tong asked coldly. "The location is our 'Angel's Tears'," Ming said, bowing his head. "What? Who decided this location?" Ying Lin exclaimed angrily. "Evil Lord, it was decided by numerous gang leaders," Ming said. "What? They actually dared... I'm furious!" Ying Lin said angrily.
　　Everyone knew that 'Angel's Tears' was established by the leader of the world's second-largest gang. There was a rule here: no fighting. This order was given by Bing Tong, because she had built 'Angel's Tears' and didn't want it to suffer any damage. However, if the underworld gathering was held here, a fight was inevitable.
　　“Bing’er, the whereabouts of the magic crystal are currently unknown, and a fight is inevitable at this underworld gathering. Shouldn’t we notify them to change the location?” Yinglin said worriedly to Bingtong. “No need. Ming, go out and dismiss everyone. Take some men and personally guard the entrance, checking for any security issues. Once the time is up, close the place. Don’t worry about those who are late. We’ll leave once everything is ready.” Bingtong waved to her, then turned to Ming. “Yes, Your Majesty.” Ming replied.
　　Just as Ming was about to leave, he suddenly heard Bingtong say to him, “A cup of 'Demon’s Blood'.” “Yes.” After saying this, Ming went out. Less than a minute later, Ming brought the wine. He could have had someone else bring it, but considering Bingtong’s safety, he personally delivered it to her. After delivering the wine, he turned and left; he still had to arrange everything.
　　Seeing Ming leave, Bingtong slowly picked up the wine and took a sip first. Then she pressed a button under the table, and strangely, the sofa she was sitting on miraculously spun around to another direction. Sakura stood there, mouth agape, clearly bewildered. She stammered, "Bing... Bing'er, what's going on?" Bing Tong didn't answer her question. Instead, she pressed a button on the sofa, and suddenly a large screen appeared on the opposite wall. The screen displayed footage from within 'Angel's Tears,' including the area within dozens of miles of the entrance. Every word and action of the people on the monitor was clearly visible.
　　Seeing this, Sakura understood everything. No wonder Bing Tong wasn't worried; she had prepared in advance! Bing Tong sipped her wine while watching the surveillance footage. Not long after, many gang leaders arrived from all directions. Why on foot? Because Bing Tong had made some arrangements, preventing cars from reaching this location.
　　Bing Tong looked towards the entrance, and suddenly six figures caught her eye. Seeing Bing Tong staring at one spot without moving, Ying Lin followed her gaze and said to Bing Tong in surprise, "Bing'er, I didn't expect them to be back." "Yes." Bing Tong nodded and continued to look at 'them' at the door.
