I Can Transfer the Side Effects of Evil Skills-Chapter 203 - 160: Silk Cave True Inheritor

No one could have imagined that Tu Zuohai’s last thought before losing consciousness would be...

’These feet... so white, so fragrant!’

Then, after his abrupt death, the barefoot woman gave a light wave of her hand, and Tu Zuohai’s head was severed by some unseen force.

Carrying his head, the barefoot woman departed, walking through the air.

「Meanwhile」

Zou Feng had just finished counting his spoils.

He had allowed the survivors he’d intentionally spared to carry away the bodies, but not before relieving them of their valuables.

His haul included various Elixirs, as well as over five hundred taels in a mix of broken silver and silver banknotes.

However, at his current Realm, these Elixirs were mostly useless. They were little more than candy to him, good for staving off hunger and not much else.

Or he could sell them for cash.

He couldn’t use this courtyard anymore, either. He would have to buy a new one.

With that in mind, Zou Feng prepared to leave. He planned to go back and continue his discussions about the Thunder Control Skill with Tian Yun.

But just as he was about to push the door open, a sense of alarm flared within him.

Almost instinctively, Zou Feng prepared to circulate his Gang Qi, burst through the door, and run as far as he possibly could.

Ever since breaking through to the Gang Qi Realm and taking up residence in Qingchuan City, he had never felt such an intense premonition of danger.

This feeling was even stronger than when he had encountered Duan Wuya of Biyou Palace back when he was still at the Seventh Grade.

’So, what kind of untouchable figure have I provoked!?’

There was no time to think. Zou Feng was about to use Burst to accelerate. No matter the situation, escaping first was the only option.

But then he noticed something was wrong.

Ever since he started his Cultivation of the Five Poison Skill, Zou Feng had gained the Night Vision ability. As his Realm increased, this power had grown significantly stronger.

Thanks to this, Zou Feng now noticed several transparent threads stretched across the doorway. If he were to charge through recklessly...

"Doctor Zou, you aren’t closing up shop so early, are you?"

The voice that drifted over was exceedingly pleasant and utterly bewitching.

But it didn’t come from behind the door. It came from... the pavilion.

Zou Feng hesitated for a moment before slowly turning around.

Sure enough, a woman’s figure had appeared in the pavilion at some point.

The woman was barefoot, her fair feet exposed. She was lounging on a rattan chair, her skirt hiked up to display the astonishing length of her legs.

She wore a look of wanton invitation.

Zou Feng didn’t immediately try to flee, but it wasn’t because he thought he couldn’t get away.

The threads blocking his path were troublesome, but now that he’d spotted them, he was confident he could find a way to deal with them.

The reason he didn’t make a run for it was because he hadn’t yet sensed any hostility from her.

Besides, a woman of her power—clearly above the Sixth Grade Realm—had no need to play such elaborate games with him. If she wanted to make a move, she would have done so already.

’In any case, I’ll wait and see.’

"I was indeed about to close for the day. Ma’am, are you in need of a poison remedy?"

The barefoot woman smiled and nodded. "Yes. I came because I heard of your reputation. I require your assistance, Doctor Zou."

"Would you be so kind as to delay closing for a while?"

’That title!’

Just from that form of address, Zou Feng could tell this was going to be big trouble.

’But I’ve secretly investigated all the "big brothers" on my List of Gods, and right now, there’s no one on it I absolutely can’t afford to offend.’

Zou Feng quickly checked his List of Gods again, but he found no new names had appeared.

’This means that, for now at least, the barefoot woman doesn’t intend to kill me.’

"This... Very well. I will do my best. But with a lady of your strength, if there is a poison that you yourself cannot handle, I’m afraid I will be of no help either..."

With that, Zou Feng walked straight back to the pavilion.

The moment he stepped inside, he saw a blood-soaked bundle sitting on the tea table.

As for the barefoot woman lounging on the rattan chair, her beauty could only be described as demonic.

Her features were sharp and full of an exotic air, as if she were of mixed heritage from the Central Plains and the Western Regions.

She was stunningly beautiful, but her intensely seductive aura made her seem like a demon in human form.

Generally speaking, if a normal person were to suddenly encounter such a siren-like beauty in the middle of the night, their first instinct wouldn’t be lust, but to turn tail and run for their life.

Luckily, Zou Feng had recently made some progress with his Thunder Control Skill. Otherwise, he might have found himself standing at attention.

When the barefoot woman saw Zou Feng quickly tear his gaze away from her long, pride-worthy legs and instead stare quizzically at the bloody bundle, she twitched a finger.

The bundle fell open, revealing Tu Zuohai’s face—eyeless and horrifically mutilated.

’Big Brother Tu!!’

Zou Feng wailed internally. He really hadn’t wanted Tu Zuohai to die yet; after all, he hadn’t even had a chance to ’use’ him.

’Now that I’m cultivating an Evil Skill, my need for the ’big brothers’ on my list is growing. Tu Zuohai could have helped me overcome many future obstacles, but now, after such a short time, he was snuffed out just like that.’

’But her ability to kill Tu Zuohai so easily proved that this barefoot woman was at least at the Fifth Grade.’

Qingchuan City certainly had its own Fifth Grade experts, chief among them being the City Lord himself.

’Zou Feng had seen the City Lord once from a distance, but he felt that even he wasn’t as terrifying as this barefoot woman...’

"A small token to mark our meeting. It’s nothing of consequence. Thank you, Doctor Zou, for saving my handmaiden last night."

’Huh. So that gaudy hussy from yesterday was her handmaiden?’

’Tu Zuohai probably didn’t know about their connection. Otherwise, he’d have to have been kicked in the head by a donkey to even think about making a move on that woman.’
