As soon as Mourning Lion's words fell, Hua Shangxiang reacted. Perhaps she subconsciously understood that Mo Ming was an enemy of Hong Gang; without hesitation, she immediately attacked Mo Ming.
"Take this!" She threw several punches at Mo Ming, her strikes powerful and vigorous, lacking any softness typically associated with women. It was clear from her stance that she had trained extensively, and her skills were not inferior to Fuxi.
Seeing Hua Shangxiang make her move, Mourning Lion showed no intention of stopping her and stood by watching the two engage.
"Impressive skills! It's quite remarkable for a woman to possess such strength; no wonder she can become the president."
Mo Ming wore a faint smile, not retaliating but skillfully dodging Hua Shangxiang's attacks. She stepped aside and reached out to block Hua Shangxiang's advance, saying, "Flower President, why rush to fight? Don't you understand that Lion Boss hasn't given you permission to engage?"
Upon hearing Mo Ming's words, Hua Shangxiang looked at Mourning Lion, who nodded in response. Then Mourning Lion approached Mo Ming with a smile and said, "I never expected the renowned Asura to grace us with her presence tonight. I truly feel honored. I assume you're not here for gambling; how about we find a place to sit down and have a good chat?"
Mo Ming extended her hand to shake Mourning Lion's and replied with a smile, "Of course. I'm here to see Lion Boss, definitely not for gambling. I'm curious where Lion Boss would like to have this conversation."
"This place has not only a casino but also plenty of entertainment venues. How about we relax in the hot springs? Soaking in the hot spring water can relieve fatigue; I've been gambling all night and could use a break," Mourning Lion suggested.
"Sounds great! But I wonder if Flower President, such a beautiful woman, would join us two men in the hot springs?" Even though Mo Ming was accompanied by three lovely ladies, she couldn't resist teasing the elegant beauty.
Hua Shangxiang snorted coldly, crossing her arms and replied, "Why not?"
"Flower President, I was just joking with you; there's no need to get upset and join us two men in the hot springs..." Mo Ming intended only to tease Hua Shangxiang, but she was surprised by how open the leader was in agreeing.
Mourning Lion laughed heartily and said, "I'll just call you Asura then. Don't be fooled by Flower President's delicate appearance; her heart is as ruthless as a venomous scorpion. She's one of us and won't leak anything. Besides, she's not bound by societal norms; so soaking in the hot springs with us shouldn't be too shocking."
Even if one is unconcerned about societal norms, it doesn't mean they should be so reckless. It's not uncommon for women to soak in hot springs with men, but a leader like her certainly didn't need to join two men!
"You really are something else! You said it yourself; now are you feeling scared?" Hua Shangxiang mocked. "I've heard plenty about you, but now that I've met you, why do I feel like you're no different from a sissy?"
I am a man of great stature; being mocked as a sissy by a woman is unacceptable!
Mo Ming replied irritably, "Flower President, your words are quite something! I said all that just to protect your body from prying eyes. If you're not afraid, then let's all go together!"
"Hahaha, enough chit-chat, let's go now!" Mourning Lion laughed a few times and led the way out. Hua Shangxiang glanced at Mo Ming, snorted coldly, and followed.
"This woman's thinking is really different from that of normal women. No wonder she can carve out her own space in Hong Gang," Mo Ming smiled slightly as he watched Hua Shangxiang's back, then followed her.
They moved to another place to talk. Mo Ming wasn't worried about Mourning Lion pulling any tricks because he could see from Mourning Lion's eyes that there was no intention to harm him.
Mourning Lion sent his subordinates to handle the body in the room and then took Mo Ming into a luxurious hot spring room.
Without hesitation, Mourning Lion stripped down to just his shorts and entered the hot spring pool. Mo Ming also casually took off his clothes and joined him in the water.
"Flower President, it's your turn," Mo Ming teased as he noticed Hua Shangxiang remaining still.
Hua Shangxiang said nothing and immediately stripped off all her clothes, even removing her protective covering, leaving only a lacy pair of panties. To Mo Ming's astonishment, she stepped into the hot spring pool.
Mo Ming couldn't help but be taken aback by Hua Shangxiang. If this were a woman selling herself, it wouldn't be surprising at all. However, Hua Shangxiang was a well-known figure in Sanpan City and had no need to do such things.
Hua Shangxiang truly embodied the appearance of a woman with the heart of a man; she showed no restraint regarding this matter.
"What are you staring at?" Hua Shangxiang sneered.
Mo Ming withdrew his gaze and chuckled, "Isn't that a bit silly? A woman as beautiful as you undressing in front of me—if I don't look, wouldn't I be acting like a fool?"
In truth, it wasn't entirely Mo Ming's fault. While Hua Shangxiang had an impressive figure, it was unlikely she could hold Mo Ming's attention for long; he was simply momentarily stunned by surprise.
Mourning Lion laughed, "Hahaha... Shura, you really are straightforward! You say whatever comes to mind. Don't you ever try to defend yourself?"
"I was planning to defend myself, but as soon as I thought about Flower President being a woman, I held back. After all, arguing with a woman is like offending her, so I decided not to explain too much," Mo Ming smiled slightly.
"Hmph, all men are the same—hypocritical! Clearly lecherous but pretending to be virtuous!" Hua Shangxiang coldly snorted, mocking Mo Ming.
"Flower President, you are mistaken. It's you women who like to say one thing and mean another. Of course, I'm not a paragon of virtue, but I'm not desperate either."
Mo Ming couldn't understand where he had offended her. From earlier until now, her words always seemed to carry a hint of sarcasm directed at him. Clearly, he didn't like to choose patience in response to her provocation.
Having been bullied by three women in his life was enough; Mo Ming didn't want to endure the anger of a fourth woman. In response to Hua Shangxiang's sarcasm, he chose to retaliate with sarcasm of his own.
"What do you mean?" Hua Shangxiang exclaimed angrily. Desperate? Was she really so unworthy that all the men she liked were desperate?
Mo Ming smiled lightly and said, "Flower President, there's no need to get worked up. What I meant by desperate is that I already have three women at home and won't casually look for others, no matter how beautiful or alluring they may be."
"Hmph!" Hua Shangxiang had nothing to say and could only snort coldly.
Seeing that the two had exchanged enough barbs, Mourning Lion finally spoke up: "You two should stop bickering. Shura, let's talk business. You came to see me tonight to ask for help dealing with Yin Jiu, right?"
"Since you've gotten straight to the point, I won't beat around the bush. I came to Sanpan City this time to take down Yin Jiu. I wonder if Lion Boss is interested in collaborating with me?" Mo Ming fixed his gaze on Mourning Lion.
Mourning Lion's lips curled slightly: "Yin Jiu is the leader of Hong Gang. I'm a Hall Master of Hong Gang; why would you think I wouldn't want to take you out instead of collaborating with you?"
"Lion Boss, tonight I'm here with a bit of luck on my side. If you agree, that would be great; if not, I won't lose anything," Mo Ming replied calmly.
"Not lose anything? Are you implying that even if I wanted to take you out, it would be impossible?" Mourning Lion said with a sinister smile. "Do you know this place is my territory? I have many subordinates; Unarmed definitely isn't your match. But I don't believe you can leave unscathed from so many guns aimed at you."
"I've heard many people say that before, yet I've managed to survive until today despite facing so many guns. Perhaps you'll think I'm arrogant, but my arrogance isn't conceit," Mo Ming said with an indifferent expression.
Mourning Lion chuckled: "Arrogance isn't conceit? That's a first for me. Why don't you explain how your arrogance isn't conceit?"
"Heh heh, his arrogance isn't conceit; it's just foolishness!" Hua Shangxiang mocked coldly. "People can talk grandly when they haven't faced any challenges, but when they do encounter trouble, they'll realize just how foolish their previous words were."
"Hahaha... I must admit, Flower President's words are quite incisive. However, your comments don't apply to me. My arrogance is a manifestation of confidence; I have the confidence to walk out of here unscathed," Mo Ming said with a wicked grin. "I know Lion Boss commands respect, but before you give your orders, I can make you mute! Forever mute!"
The eyes of Mourning Lion narrowed into a dangerous arc. "Are you really so confident that you can take me out without anyone noticing?"
"I may not be clear about your strength, Lion Boss, but I am very aware of my own abilities. There are not many who can escape from me. If you don't believe it, we can give it a try." A glint of sharpness flashed in Mo Ming's eyes.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and Hua Shangxiang also grew vigilant. If Mo Ming were to make a move, she would definitely act as well. Mourning Lion stared at Mo Ming for a moment before laughing, "Alright, I believe in your abilities. No need to test it."
"Then what do you mean, Lion Boss? Are we becoming allies or enemies?" Mo Ming didn't want to say too much. If Mourning Lion chose to be an ally, they could continue the conversation; if he chose to be an enemy, there was no need to talk any further.
"This is not an easy decision. After all, Yin Jiu could be the leader of Hong Gang, and I am the Hall Master of Hong Gang. If I were to go against him with you, word would get out, and I would become a target." Mourning Lion closed his eyes and said lightly, "Let me think it over. Tomorrow, I will give you an answer."
"Then I'll wait for your answer, Lion Boss. I believe choosing to ally with me will not be a loss for you."
Mo Ming understood that Mourning Lion's words were not as simple as they appeared. His consideration was likely to see what kind of waves Mo Ming could stir up in Sanpan City and whether he had enough strength to topple Yin Jiu.
Mourning Lion was the type of man with schemes; his conflict with Yin Jiu had long existed. Now that Mo Ming came to him for cooperation, he would naturally weigh the pros and cons carefully.
Having received Mourning Lion's response, Mo Ming did not linger any longer. He left the hot spring pool, dried himself with a towel, put on his clothes, and departed.
