Chapter 219: Chapter 219

"Woof woof woof!" the black dog bellowed ferociously.

As Zhang Xiaohao’s Destructive Sky Finger drew ever closer,

the black dog seemed to sense the threat of death and leapt from the ground.

Opening its gaping maw, its dark, sharp teeth viciously snapped at Zhang Xiaohao.

"A cornered dog will leap over a wall? Go to hell!" Zhang Xiaohao shouted coldly.

His finger twisted oddly and touched the black dog’s forehead.

A massive force, following his finger, thundered into the body of the black dog.

A subtle sound emanated from the head of the dog.

At first, the noise was faint, but within a breath, it grew louder.

Time seemed to stop at that moment.

The fierce look in the black dog’s eyes, as its brain nerves were destroyed, was filled with deep reluctance.

It smashed harshly onto the ground, and trickles of blood flowed from its orifices.

"This round’s a win! A Control Realm dog meat hot pot, heh! Even Master Old Ghost probably hasn’t tasted that," Zhang Xiaohao chuckled.

With a flick of his sleeve, he stored the two-meter-tall black dog inside the Shennong Ring.

He walked over to Guan Renjian.

From his pocket, he reluctantly took out some Corpse Dissolving Powder and sprinkled a bit on his corpse.

Shaking his head, he sighed, "Good stuff just doesn’t last! There goes another bottle, looks like I’ll need to venture into the mountains again soon."

Guan Renjian’s body dissolved into a puddle of pus, leaving only a palm-sized, blackish iron slab on the ground.

"Eh! What’s this?" Zhang Xiaohao murmured suspiciously.

He grabbed the blackish iron slab in his palm.

"Hmm? Could this material possibly be Sky-damaged Iron?" Zhang Xiaohao exclaimed.

According to the ancient secrets recorded in the Shennong Battle Sky Technique,

in ancient times, Sky-damaged Iron was as common as cabbage, found everywhere.

In that era, Super Great Powers frequently battled fiercely, fighting to the death and knocking countless stars from the sky, which fell to earth and formed this Sky-damaged Iron.

Not to mention him, even a profoundly skilled Master Old Ghost,

with his tremendous cultivation, couldn’t obtain this kind of Sky-damaged Iron.

Yet unexpectedly, he had stumbled upon this treasure in Guan Renjian’s body.

With a thought, Zhang Xiaohao summoned the Shennong Pill Fire.

No sooner had the Shennong Pill Fire appeared than it emitted a terrifying high temperature.

It seemed that under this heat, even heaven and earth could be burned into a black hole!

"Go!" Zhang Xiaohao shouted softly.

He flung the Shennong Pill Fire over.

The Shennong Pill Fire surged, completely enveloping the blackish iron slab and burning fiercely.

"Hmm? What’s going on? It won’t melt!" Zhang Xiaohao muttered.

He channeled all his True Qi into the Shennong Pill Fire.

With Zhang Xiaohao’s abundant True Qi supporting, the temperature of the Shennong Pill Fire shot up again.

The terrifying golden flames once again enveloped the blackish iron slab.

Zhang Xiaohao shook his hand and withdrew the Shennong Pill Fire.

Holding the blackish iron slab between two fingers, his brows were tightly furrowed.

"What secret could be hidden within this, requiring the use of the heavenly resource Sky-damaged Iron?" Zhang Xiaohao muttered.

Shaking his head, he smiled bitterly, "Insatiable greed indeed! It seems the opportunity has not yet come."

He casually stored the blackish iron slab inside the Shennong Ring.

Walking to Guan Qingxue’s side, he saw her unconscious on the ground.

Even in unconsciousness, her cold, stunning beauty couldn’t be concealed.

Between her brows, there was a faint trace of sorrow.

Zhang Xiaohao chuckled, picking up a clean brush from the desk.

He squatted down and teased her nose with the brush.

"Hmm?" Guan Qingxue’s eyebrows twitched.

Her tightly closed eyes slowly opened.

What she saw was a hideous, dark object!

"Ah!" She screamed, instinctively swinging her hand at it.

The brush in Zhang Xiaohao’s hand fell to the ground.

"You’re awake," Zhang Xiaohao said with a smile.

"It’s you! By the way, where are Guan Renjian and the others?" Guan Qingxue asked.

"You mean that man and his dog?" Zhang Xiaohao replied.

"Yes," Guan Qingxue nodded.

"They were probably scared off by the aura of a king emanating from me," Zhang Xiaohao said, touching his nose with a laugh.

"Hmph!" Guan Qingxue snorted, clearly disbelieving.

"Okay, your issue has been resolved, now let’s talk about our matters," Zhang Xiaohao said seriously, his smile fading.

"What matters?" Guan Qingxue asked, puzzled.

"Are you kidding? Of course, it’s about our company’s cosmetics launch and sales! What else could it be, deep conversations about life and dreams?" Zhang Xiaohao said irritably.

"In your dreams!" Guan Qingxue huffed lightly.

Without any ceremony, Zhang Xiaohao picked up the office phone from the desk, dialed Wu Qiaoqiao and Lin Xiaowen’s number, and asked them to come up.

Hanging up the phone.

Zhang Xiaohao looked around the office as if he was in his own backyard.

"Hmm, not bad! The decor is quite luxurious, complete with a small wine cabinet," Zhang Xiaohao commented.

"I’m going to take a shower," Guan Qingxue declared.

After saying this, she walked towards the inner rest area.

Zhang Xiaohao was taken aback, watching her receding figure and showing a bitter smile.

He thought to himself resentfully, this woman is too daring, daring to shower in front of a man she doesn’t know well; isn’t she afraid of being assaulted?

Zhang Xiaohao opened the wine cabinet and took out a bottle of 1982 Lafite.

He sat on the leather sofa, casually starting to drink.

"Ah! Mr. Zhang, why are you alone?" Wu Qiaoqiao and Lin Xiaowen both exclaimed when they saw Zhang Xiaohao sitting alone on the sofa drinking wine.

"Don’t make a fuss, she’s taking a shower!" Zhang Xiaohao said, sounding irritated.

He casually took two clean wine glasses and poured two glasses.

"How’s the taste?" he asked.

"Mr. Zhang, is this really okay?"

"Yes, Mr. Zhang, is it really okay to do this without President Guan’s consent?"

Wu Qiaoqiao and Lin Xiaowen hesitated.

Their eyes, however, were fixed on the wine in Zhang Xiaohao’s hands.

Apparently, they had recognized what wine Zhang Xiaohao was holding.

"Once you’re here, treat it like your own home, don’t be shy, have a seat and drink," Zhang Xiaohao said with a smile.

"Hmph!" A light snort sounded, and Guan Qingxue had reappeared, now dressed in a black OL suit complete with black stockings, walking over with swinging arms.

"Sit, try this cherished ’82 Lafite," Guan Qingxue invited with a light smile.

"Thank you, President Guan."

Wu Qiaoqiao and Lin Xiaowen both thanked her and sat down on the sofa. Latest content publıshed on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝕟𝕖𝕥

Although puzzled about the relationship between Zhang Xiaohao and Guan Qingxue, they wisely didn’t ask, eagerly picking up their glasses to taste the wine.
