Chapter 1572: Chapter 1587: Get Your Paws Off Me

"This is precisely the terrifying aspect of the Five Poison Claws!"

Lin Mu squinted his eyes and coldly said, "In the instant you’re hit, your central nervous system falls into a semi-hibernation state. Don’t mention smell, even taste, touch, and pain have already vanished. When you realize something’s wrong, the poison, fueled by Inner Family Skills, has penetrated the bone marrow, and you can only collapse on the ground, despairing as you watch your body slowly decay..."

"Damn! You think I’m brain dead or something."

Ling Xiaoqiao raised her middle finger and replied irritably, "If you’re going to fool people, figure out a better trick, okay? Besides, Five Poison Claws! Have you ever seen a green snake with claws? Why didn’t you say Nine Yin White Bone Claw? Humph, according to your logic, I should’ve lost feeling by now, so how am I feeling pain? Instead, your stinking claws on me are more disgusting. I warn you, get them off my thigh immediately!"

"That’s what I’m puzzled about as well."

Lin Mu withdrew his hand calmly, "Could it be that the location where you were hit is unusual, thus causing this bizarre phenomenon? Uh, think carefully, who did you come in contact with today."

"I don’t know!"

Ling Xiaoqiao originally intended to say "get lost," but then she thought better of it, since he did save her, feeling like it would be repaying kindness with enmity. She yawned as her eyelids drooped and said, "I was sleeping in the morning, squeezed into the bus around noon ready to escape, when Black Tiger found me, hiding stealthily until I met you at night..."

"Black Tiger? That low-level goon who hasn’t even reached the second layer of Inner Qi, definitely can’t use the Five Poison Claws. But, following his thread, maybe we can catch the big fish that slipped through the net back then."

Gazing at the sleeping Ling Xiaoqiao, Lin Mu murmured to himself, frowning, with his bright eyes occasionally flashing chilling rays of light.

As the sun rose, a ray of light pierced through the curtain, spilling into the room. On the soft carpet, clothes and socks were scattered chaotically.

Ling Xiaoqiao lazily called out, only feeling an indescribable ease and comfort in her body, the kind of feeling as if soaked in a lovely milk bath, even the skin turned smooth and delicate... Wait! Suddenly she was startled, quickly reaching to touch, only to find bare skin; not a stitch of clothing was on her body.

"Ah!" A piercing scream resounded in the room.

The high-decibel scream shocked Lin Mu, his hair standing on end, as he leapt to his feet, "What’s going on? Martians attacking Earth?"

"Bastard, what did you do to me?"

Ling Xiaoqiao wrapped herself in the quilt, her beautiful almond eyes wide open, almost spitting fire.

"Obviously, it’s healing you."

"Heal my ass, does healing require stripping me completely naked?"

"Of course it does?" Lin Mu rubbed his eyes, yawning widely and said, "The poison from the Five Poison Claws has spread, to completely eliminate it, massage must be complemented by Inner Family Skills to bypass meridians. Any clothes would inevitably hinder, it was an expedient action under the circumstances."

"Oh, so I should thank you?"

Ling Xiaoqiao laughed angrily, not waiting for him to speak, she fiercely threw the pillow from under her and shouted hoarsely, "You’re guilty, don’t bother denying it! Lin Mu, when lying, please pull up your pants first! Humph, healing and ending up with both of us naked, do you really think I’m a gullible three-year-old?"

Actually, Ling Xiaoqiao’s physique is quite peculiar. Lin Mu worked hard until midnight to expel all the poisonous blood, and after a shower, he intended to dress and sleep. But when he reached the bedside, he couldn’t resist the deep fatigue and collapsed onto the bed.

"Xiaoqiao, things aren’t what you think."

Hastily dressing, Lin Mu decided to explain, but unfortunately, Ling Xiaoqiao didn’t give him the chance.

"Get lost, rogue, get out of here, I never want to see you again, bastard..."

Crystal clear tears rolled down her delicate cheeks. Grabbing everything within reach, Ling Xiaoqiao threw it forward.

Without a chance to speak, Lin Mu was forced to retreat hastily, beaten badly.

"Bang!" The door slammed shut, Ling Xiaoqiao stared at the bloodstains on the sheets, unable to hold back her grievance, burying her face in her arms, crying heart-piercingly.

"Damn, who did I offend, doing a good deed and not getting good results, but being scolded instead..." Lin Mu left the hotel, annoyedly patting his head.

It was intended as a kind gesture, but things escalated to this point. Thinking of Ling Xiaoqiao’s tear-streaked, sorrowful face made him twitch uncontrollably, "Should I go back and explain? Sigh, my heart has become increasingly compassionate recently."

Lin Mu scratched his chin, having found a good excuse, when his phone abruptly rang.

"Where the hell are you, hurry back to the company, something big happened."

"What! Early morning, have these girls all taken gunpowder?" Listening to the busy dial tone, Lin Mu couldn’t help but pout.

Meanwhile, Sophie’s face was almost dripping with gloom.

Taking a deep breath to stabilize her emotions, she softly said, "Sister Nan, bring the police to the reception room, find a way to keep them occupied, when Lin Mu gets back, have him come directly to my office."

"Okay." Song Yanan nodded, but couldn’t help but worry, "Where is Lin Mu, did he really get into trouble?"

"I don’t know, let’s see the situation first."

Sophie casually brushed the question off, but inside, she was already fuming.

She initially thought Lin Mu was just joking around, she never expected he would actually drive to Chang’an Hotel. It’s the most notorious night spot in Wancheng, just thinking of Lin Mu spending the night there, up to no good surely, made Sophie furious, "Damn wolf, starving and indiscriminate, actually went out to have fun, humph, this time forget five years, even ten years, no, grandmother’s generation won’t forgive you..."

Lei Xiaojiao believes that any hesitation and caution before cunning criminals greatly reduces the chance of cracking a case. Therefore, as an excellent detective, it’s essential to boldly assume and boldly verify. Early morning, she forcefully pulled two colleagues from the detective squad to Su’s Great Enterprise for an investigation.

Sure enough, the bastard driving the Bugatti wasn’t a Xiang Island native, but President Su’s bodyguard, a typical social underclass. This discovery greatly excited Lei Xiaojiao. Remembering that vaguely familiar face, she was at least eighty percent certain that Lin Mu was the mysterious figure who had snatched the drugs and cash in the reeds.
