Chapter 58: Heart of a Fierce Tiger!

Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu

Finished with his words, Bei Feng turned around and ignored the little girl as he continued with his task.

“Puchi!”

The chilling sound of a blade slashing into flesh suddenly sounded behind him, causing Bei Feng to turn around in shock.

What he saw in that moment caused his blood to run cold. A little girl dressed entirely in red knelt basking under the silvery moonlight which streamed through the broken doorway, a radiant smile on her blood-stained face. In her tiny hand was a glistening switchblade, still dripping with blood!

Lying beside her, was a man twice her size. Copious amounts of blood ebbed steadily out of the deep gash on the man’s neck, and incoherent gurgling sounds could be heard from the throat of the dying man, as he struggled in vain to cover the wound with his hands…

“There’s only eleven now,” the little girl smiled sweetly.

Faced with such a scene, even Bei Feng was unable to keep his cool. He felt his entire heart turn cold and the hair on the back of his neck stood on its ends!

“AHH! Bloody b*tch! How dare you kill my bro!”

Zhang Hu hollered in rage and anguish. Even though he had already been immobilized, he still tried with all his strength to crawl up to the wretched girl and strangle her with his bare hands!

The other men who were still conscious were also shouting and cursing at the little girl. They hated that they were unable to kill her immediately! Killing one of their brothers in front of their eyes was the same as slapping them across their faces and then taking a sh*t on them!

None of them had ever imagined that a mere child, whom they had treated as a money-making slave, would be so ruthless!

Most people would normally feel some apprehension even when killing a chicken. And yet, this little girl had actually killed a human being so easily and without any emotion!

“Shut your mouths!”

Bei Feng furrowed his brows and snapped in annoyance.

As though they had not even heard Bei Feng’s voice, not only did their yells not die down, their volumes had even increased!

“Really asking for death…”

Bei Feng’s smile became all the more frosty. He caressed the Book of Spiritual Contract in his hands and, with a simple thought, formed a connection with it. Zhang Hu and the others were about to receive an unforgettable lesson!

“GWAH! It hurts!”

“AHHH! I’m going to die from the pain!”

The group of men suddenly began screaming as they held their heads, thrashing and writhing violently on the floor like a bunch of fishes on land. The sensation they felt was likely the worst pain in the world. It was as if there were countless huge worm gnawing on and digging through their brains!

The worst part was, there was nothing they could do to stop the pain! Some of the men did not even hesitate to smash their heads repeatedly against the floor or the walls. Others were smashing their fists ruthlessly against their heads as they screamed in agony.

Not a single ripple appeared in Bei Feng’s heart as he watched coldly. Just like this, the group of men suffered for three whole minutes while Bei Feng stood to the side, acting as though the entire affair was none of his business.

‘I believe that after this time’s lesson these people should be able to understand that it’s best for them to submit…’

Feeling that the punishment was sufficient, Bei Feng relayed a command to the Book of Spiritual Contract and the pain was immediately lifted.

The group of men collapsed lifelessly to the ground, each gasping for breath like dying dogs. All of them were covered in dust and a lot of sweat. They looked unspeakably wretched, as though they had just returned from a fierce war.

Blood flowed freely from their heads, and bits of skin and flesh were still stuck under their fingernails.

It was after several minutes that some color finally returned to their pale faces. Most of the men were still muddled as they struggled to regain their senses.

The gazes that now fell upon Bei Feng were all filled with deep fear and an irreconcilable hatred!

“W… what have you done to us?!”

Zhang Hu held his head with his one good hand and gritted his teeth as he barely squeezed out those words.

“Heh, what do you think? Maybe you thought I was just playing house with you earlier? Since the process of contracting has already been completed, your life and death are now controlled by my will! If I want you to live, you shall live! If I want you to die, you will not be able to escape it even if you were hiding at the ends of the earth!”

Bei Feng looked at the panic-stricken group of perverts and harrumphed in disdain, as though it was beneath his dignity to speak to them.

“You!”

Zhang Hu only managed to blurt out a single word in hatred before he hurriedly closed his mouth again. He truly did not wish to experience that sensation from before one more time!

“If you listen to my commands obediently, there would naturally be adequate rewards waiting for you.”

Bei Feng smirked lightly. Then, he turned to face the little girl again. “How is it? Have you thought about it properly? You saw how it was for them. I can indeed grant you extraordinary powers. However, your life and death would be within my grasp,” Bei Feng narrowed his eyes and stated seriously.

“I’m willing!”

Children living in poverty were usually forced to mature much earlier than other children. There was even less of a need to mention a little girl who had been exposed to cruelty and raised with a very bleak outlook on life. Without even the slightest hesitation, the little girl nodded her head and answered with determination.

In truth, Bei Feng did not wish to let the little girl sign the Book of Spiritual Contract. However, with everything she had experienced, it was obvious that there was no way she can be expected to just go her way and live out a peaceful life.

A fierce tiger hid in every person’s heart. It was only the degree to which one decides to lock that ferocious nature in one’s heart that determined an individual’s character.

Obviously, this girl had already opened the cage in her heart after being oppressed for so long and completely released the savage beast within in order to protect herself!

Since it was impossible for her to return to a normal life, Bei Feng did not continue to refuse the little girl. Instead, he carefully pricked the little girl with the needle and drew out a drop of blood. Then, he dripped the blood onto the Book of Spiritual Contract.

After that, he returned to the group of men and began to set their dislocated limbs. Of course, such a process was accompanied by a series of wails and grunting.

Finally, Bei Feng took out the petals of the Vampiric Vine’s flower and handed a single petal to each person. As he came before the little girl, Bei Feng hesitated slightly before producing another petal, giving her a total of two.

The group only looked at the translucent flower petals curiously for a brief moment before putting it in their mouths.

Since they had already boarded the devil’s ship and their life and death were all to be decided by the skipper, there was no point in being apprehensive about eating strange things anymore.

As soon as they swallowed the flower petal, everyone’s eyes widened in shock!

Although these people could not gauge the changes in their bodies as accurately as Bei Feng, everyone could still clearly feel their bodies growing stronger rapidly!

Amongst them, the individual with the greatest improvements by far was the little girl.

Previously, due to the effects of prolonged malnutrition, her face was sallow and skinny. Even her hair looked dry and yellowish, causing her to look pale and sickly. With the consumption of the first petal, the little girl’s skin evidently became fairer and more supple. Although it was not to the extent where the skin was so soft that it would break upon the flick of a finger, it was still as smooth and white as a piece of jade!

If not for the streaks of blood on her face, this little girl could be easily mistaken for a princess straight out of a fantasy story!

“Eat the second one too.”

Bei Feng’s interest had been stirred. He wanted to see if the second petal would still continue to have any effects.

Zhang Hu’s group had already swallowed their petals and they were now looking at the remaining petal in the little girl’s hand with heated gazes. After having tasted the benefits, they were naturally aware of the wonders of this petal!

However, they felt as though a bucket of water had been dumped over their heads, hurriedly turning their eyes away as they saw Bei Feng glance at them from the corner of his eye.

The first time he tried to experiment on the Vampiric Vine petal’s effects, it had ended in failure due to his poor choice of an assistant. The petal had almost no effect on Bai Xiang at all. As for this little girl, her physique was inherently a level weaker than normal people. Therefore, it might be possible that the second petal would still be able to improve her body further.

In the end, Bei Feng’s guess was proven to be true. The second petal was indeed able to improve the little girl’s constitution even more!

“Looks like there’s a limit to the medicinal efficacy of the petals. It can only be used repeatedly under specific circumstances,” Bei Feng mumbled.

Not only did the muscles of his new subordinates become more sturdy, even their wounds had stopped bleeding and were now covered in a layer of scab.

The petals had proved beneficial even to Bei Feng. Thus, one could imagine how much more useful it was to normal people!

On average, the physiques of the twelve had at least been doubled in strength!

“From here onwards, the twelve of you will become the sharpest blade in my hand! The most sturdy and unbreakable swords! The twelve of you will be known as the Bei Feng Guards! Your names will be Mystic One to Mystic Twelve based on the ranking of your strength!”

“A test will be held annually to determine your standings!”

“I don’t care what kind of grudges you hold against each other, but you are to let go of all grudges immediately, each of you. I don’t want to see any infighting among you twelve. Anyone who dares to kill their comrade, regardless of the reason, will pay with their life as well!”

“You will soon begin a completely new life as my elite guards. You will also obtain many things that you previously would not have. There’s 200,000 yuan in this card. Take it and go enjoy the last night of your life as free men!” [1]

Bei Feng instructed in a domineering tone, allowing no room for disrespect.

“Tomorrow at 12 PM, I will be waiting at the head of the bridge over Qingshui River. If I do not see you there by 12 PM sharp, you will receive a sweet punishment; I can promise you that that punishment would feel a hundred times, no, a thousand times sweeter than the one just now!” Bei Feng chuckled good-naturedly. “Of course, you can try to run. We’ll see if you can escape…”

The Bei Feng Guards swallowed a mouthful of saliva nervously as they looked upon the wicked smirk on Bei Feng’s face.

The pain they had experienced a moment ago was still fresh in their minds. It was something that they would never be able to forget in their lifetime! And if it was increased a hundredfold? They didn’t even dare to think about it. It would probably be easier to just jump off a skyscraper!

“Understood!”

The Bei Feng Guards shouted in unison.

“Go, then.”

Bei Feng dismissed the group with the casual flick of his palms.
