Immortal Travel of Longevity

Chen Changsheng asked about their purpose for coming here.

The tooth broker held nothing back, spilling everything about their affairs.

Just as Chen Changsheng expected, their goal in coming here was not to open a brothel at all. Their whereabouts had long been discovered by the Local Government, forcing them to flee to Water's End City.

The Northwestern Borderlands was the only place they could go.

The tooth broker kowtowed continuously, admitting his faults and begging to be let go.

Chen Changsheng shook his head.

The tooth broker gritted his teeth, hoping to be given one last chance.

But Chen Changsheng did not intend to give him that opportunity. After truly witnessing the ugly side of human nature, Chen Changsheng displayed an indifference toward life—a rare occurrence for him up until now.

Though his expression remained calm, murderous intent stirred within him.

"My Lord!"

The tooth broker pleaded, weeping bitterly with streaming tears.

Chen Changsheng calmed down. He turned his head away, thought for a moment, and said to the tooth broker, "If they want to spare your life, then you will live. Do not ask This Chen."

The tooth broker instantly fell into utter despair.

He slumped despondently to the ground, without speaking another word.

Chen Changsheng said, "This Chen feels that their opinions truly should be considered."

"Don't!"

The tooth broker paused. He opened his mouth and said, "Just kill me. Let me die a quick death."

Chen Changsheng shook his head and told him, "That would be letting you off too easily."

For some reason, Chen Changsheng felt as if he had become an executioner.

He had just spoken to the Saber Wielder about lessening the killing, yet now he was using an even more despair-inducing method to decide this tooth broker's fate.

To this, Chen Changsheng could only silently repeat to himself, 'Forgive my sins, forgive my sins.'

But even so, he chose to do it this way.

Chen Changsheng walked through the door to ask for the opinions of those young women.

The tooth broker knelt at the door. At this moment, the thought of fleeing sprouted in his mind.

But immediately after, Chen Changsheng's voice drifted out from inside.

"Try and see if you can escape."

The tooth broker froze, suddenly wearing an expression as if he had seen a ghost.

The door to the room closed, and the tooth broker could faintly hear the murmurs of conversation inside.

A moment later, Chen Changsheng walked out of the room and looked at the tooth broker.

Chen Changsheng said, "Take a guess."

The tooth broker's lips parted, but he couldn't make a sound. It seemed he had already guessed his own miserable fate.

Chen Changsheng said, "I have good news for you. They decided to let you live."

Upon hearing this, the tooth broker was not happy at all. Instead, he felt only dread and terror.

He used all his strength to bite down and crush the poison hidden in his teeth.

He wanted to commit suicide.

However, in the next moment, his mouth flew open uncontrollably.

The poison hidden within his teeth instantly flew out of his mouth and fell to the ground, sizzling loudly.

The tooth broker's eyes widened, staring at the scene before him in disbelief.

He looked at Chen Changsheng, his eyes filled with panic.

"You..."

Chen Changsheng looked at him indifferently and said, "The young women discussed it and decided to cripple you, blind one of your eyes, chop off four of your fingers, and break your third leg."

No sound could escape the tooth broker's throat. At this moment, he felt true, unfiltered fear.

He didn't understand how the man before him had managed to do all of that.

Chen Changsheng watched him, but suddenly added, "However, as they kept talking, they changed their minds. The young women calmed down, and in the end, they decided to just forget it."

"Don't you find it laughable? After suffering such a tumultuous displacement and witnessing the ugly side of this world, those frail women still retain kindness in their hearts. Yet someone like you, possessing both means and power, holds no pity for the innocent."

The tooth broker lowered his head. For a brief moment, panic seemed to flicker in his eyes.

He suddenly let out a bitter smile and said, "Kill me or slice me to pieces, do as you please."

Chen Changsheng shook his head and said, "I won't kill you. I have another use for you."

The tooth broker froze, somewhat bewildered.

"You may avoid death, but you cannot escape suffering."

Chen Changsheng raised his hand, and several slips of paper appeared in his palm.

"Written on these are the punishments they originally suggested."

"Now, you will pick one yourself. Whatever you draw is what you will get. Whether it's a severed hand or a broken leg, you must accept it."

The tooth broker reached out with trembling hands.

He paused several times, trying to overcome the fear in his heart, but his panting only grew more violent.

Before he even touched the folded papers, one of them fell to the ground.

He immediately panicked, crying out, "No, no!"

Chen Changsheng ignored him, only finding it laughable. When those young women felt terrified, this man had shown zero pity. His current pathetic state truly proved that evil begets evil.

Chen Changsheng leaned down, picked up the slip of paper, and asked, "This one?"

The tooth broker's mouth hung open, and it took a long while before he could finally speak.

"No..."

Chen Changsheng glanced at him. "Then which one do you plan to pick?"

The tooth broker's back was completely drenched in sweat; his entire body was covered in cold perspiration.

Caught between despair and complete breakdown, he went completely limp.

"Just that one."

He seemed to have resigned himself to fate.

Chen Changsheng nodded and unfolded the paper.

"Hmm..."

He placed the slip in front of the tooth broker's eyes for him to see.

"Your luck isn't very good."

The tooth broker's eyes widened.

Chen Changsheng abruptly reached out and tapped him on the center of his brow.

Suddenly, the tooth broker's vision dimmed, gradually plunging into complete darkness.

The tooth broker frantically touched his eyes. Only now did he realize that retribution had truly come.

Only when he reached this point did he finally know to admit his faults.

He kowtowed endlessly, recounting his crimes and mistakes, cursing himself as a bastard, and begging Chen Changsheng for leniency.

Chen Changsheng shook his head and said, "These eyes of yours have long been blinded. From now on, use another way to look at the good and evil of this world. Perhaps then you will see things a bit more clearly."

A hoarse scream echoed from the doorway of the room as the tooth broker wailed.

He hated everything he had done, but in reality, he mostly just regretted not stopping sooner.

Human nature was ugly.

The tooth broker tried to slam his head into the wall to commit suicide, but Chen Changsheng ultimately stopped him.

"Let me die! Let me die!"

Chen Changsheng said, "This Chen already said it: I need you to do some things for me. Therefore, you cannot die yet."

The tooth broker burst into laughter, but it was a breakdown born of absolute despair.

The Mortal World was about to be plunged into chaos. Chen Changsheng had also promised Yan Ruchu that, after Great Jing was established, he would protect them for three hundred years.

The best approach would still be to start with the jianghu.

The tooth broker before him was smart enough and suited for handling such matters.

In the end, this was actually just a spur-of-the-moment idea. He didn't have the abundant free time required to handle these matters personally, but as long as someone could do it, that was enough.

Chen Changsheng leaned down and said, "Although you won't be able to see from now on..."

"...This Chen is still giving you an opportunity to rise above all others."

It was precisely because of Chen Changsheng's actions today that, in the distant future, a hidden power would slowly rise in the Mortal World.

And in many critical moments, it would play a decisive role.
