Chapter 26

Han Wu took several deep breaths, then grabbed the red wine on the table and drank more than half the bottle, which finally calmed his emotions.

He chuckled bitterly and walked to the left side of the office, where there was a full-length mirror. He leaned in to look at his face, which appeared young but was actually not. There were many blackheads on his nose, heavy bags under his eyes, and a sallow complexion, all due to an irregular lifestyle. His face even had a bluish tinge.

Han Wu took a deep breath, and eight tentacles appeared on his back. These were the Life Soul "Yinchu" given to him by Ning Yue. He wasn't planning to fight anyone but wanted to test an idea using the power of the Life Soul.

The power of the Life Soul "Yinchu" was gathered on his face, particularly on his nose and in the pores. Slowly, many blackheads and oils surfaced, especially the blackheads on his nose, which were densely packed and disgusting. Han Wu himself was surprised by how much dirt was hidden in his nose.

He had tried various methods to clean these blackheads before, but as everyone knows, blackheads are a stubborn problem. Despite many drugs claiming to treat them, they only address the symptoms and are very slow to work.

Han Wu took a tissue and wiped his nose, which was now covered in blackheads. He couldn't bear to look at it and quickly balled up the tissue and threw it in the trash.

He couldn't resist looking in the mirror again. In just a short time, not only had the blackheads on his nose and the blackheads on his face been forced out by the "soul power," but the enlarged pores had also contracted and become fine, almost invisible.

His skin became exceptionally smooth, like a peeled, boiled egg, slippery and very tender. Even his sallow complexion, caused by his debauched lifestyle, had returned to a rosy hue, and the bags under his eyes had completely disappeared. He looked as if he had returned to his most youthful years, around seventeen or eighteen.

Han Wu looked in the mirror, touching his nose several times. He smiled bitterly but couldn't help feeling a bit pleased. It was the first time he had seen his nose so clean and clear, and the first time his complexion looked so good.

"It seems I'm already on the bandwagon, and there's no way to get off. Even if I want to break free from that person's control, I can't bear to give up this power. The feeling of having such real and tangible power is too exhilarating, too comfortable. Compared to the power and wealth I've worked hard for over the years, these things are nothing. They can be lost or taken away at any time, but this power will remain unless I die."

Han Wu turned a few circles in front of the mirror, feeling his figure was tall and handsome, with a newfound elegance. He was very satisfied. He had always been very particular about his appearance, wanting every sip of coffee to have a logo, but there were some things he couldn't control. After obtaining the Life Soul "Yinchu," Han Wu felt he had reached a new level, with a higher taste and class. He felt like he had a fresh start, a new life.

With a slight thought, the tentacles on his back slowly disappeared. He suddenly remembered what Ning Yue had said when introducing this Life Soul: "This Life Soul is called 'Yinchu.' With a little practice, you can activate its power, which can extend at least two and up to eighteen tentacles from your shoulders. These tentacles can be used for battle and can also transfer bodily sensations, making them a favorite among the nobility and wealthy in the dark world. They are very hard to obtain, even for the rich and powerful."

Han Wu smacked his lips and laughed, muttering to himself, "Transferring bodily sensations, in other words, it can replace the penis in sexual activities? I've been too tense lately, might as well relax a bit."

Han Wu picked up the phone and called the nightclub he owned.

In less than ten minutes, a girl who looked quite innocent and was over 170 cm tall walked gracefully into his office. This girl had no trace of a prostitute's demeanor, with long, straight legs that surpassed most so-called models. She wore transparent black stockings that accentuated the beauty of her legs.

Han Wu smiled and took out a blindfold, inviting the girl to his side and putting it on her. The girl thought Han Wu just wanted to play a game and didn't resist, smiling and saying, "Fifth Brother, what do you want to do today? Why are you blindfolding me?"

In the next moment, the girl felt something was wrong. It seemed like many hands were touching and caressing her body, violently tearing off her clothes. She struggled a bit but couldn't resist the strength of these "arms." She was soon stripped naked, and her legs were spread in a very shameful position, causing her to scream continuously.

"Fifth Brother! You can't do this. I'll do anything with you, but don't bring in so many men..."

Han Wu laughed lewdly, completely ignoring the girl's resistance. The eight tentacles on his back intertwined, and three of them entered the girl's body, transmitting sensations that were more pleasurable than real sex, making her feel as if she were in ecstasy.

"Indeed, it can transfer bodily sensations..."

While Han Wu was enjoying himself, Ning Yue had finished drinking tea with Xu Xun, politely said goodbye, and then took Lu Wenyin in a taxi to No. 64 Feits Road.

This road was lined with old villas from the Republic of China era, once inhabited by high-ranking officials and nobles. Almost every villa had a famous owner. Later, the owners either died in battle, were executed for various crimes, or fled abroad, leaving the villas vacant.

These villas, built several decades ago, were designed by renowned architects due to the wealth and status of their owners. Each villa had a unique style, covering various European styles, and many were a blend of Eastern and Western designs, making them a significant landscape feature of the city.

No. 64 was said to belong to a warlord in the past. This warlord had poor taste but wanted to appear cultured, so he hired the most famous designer from France to build it in the Renaissance style. Unfortunately, the day the villa was completed was also the day he was killed in battle. Thus, the first owner never had the chance to live in it, and it went to his eighth concubine.

The concubine lived there for over two years but, sensing the changing political climate, fled with her valuables, selling the villa at a low price. It changed hands several times before ending up in Ma Yuan's possession. He claimed it was sold by a friend, but it was actually his own property. Now, Ma Yuan had sold it to Ning Yue, registering it under Lu Wenyin's name.
