She let them go and stopped pursuing the matter, but attributed the favor to him alone.
Needless to say, the amount of favor he owed was enormous. Of course, she could also make everyone owe her a favor.
But apart from Tao Ou Niang, who wants to do assassin business and cares about her reputation, others like Qing Nang Nu, Bai Mian Shu Sheng, and Chen Ai Hu would probably agree today and make sure Li Xian Rui can't find them again tomorrow.
Tiger Master said, "In that case, we will accept Miss's kindness and will repay her in the future." Li Xianrui nodded.
At this point, killing Tiger Master San on the spot would be pointless. This isn't Jade City Mountain.
With his connections, there's no way he could be kept in jail. If he gets rescued, it means he escaped on his own merits, and she'll still owe him a favor. Besides, it's not a bad thing to have someone as influential as him in both the legitimate and underworld circles owe her a favor.
She glanced at the elderly man in the wheelchair, and hesitated for a moment. She could not possibly let the mastermind get away with this.
Tiger Master said, "Could you hand over this old Mr. Zhao to someone first? I can guarantee with my life that he will go to the yamen to turn himself in today." Li Xianrui glanced at him, her willow eyebrows slightly raised.
This old Mr. Zhao doesn't know any martial arts at all; he's clearly not a member of the martial arts world, yet he's going to such great lengths to capture her.
She looked at the old man in the wheelchair and said coldly, "May I ask first, what grudge do I have against you?" The old man shook his head: "There is no grudge. I just have some grievances against Jade City Mountain."
Li Xianrui let out a sigh of relief, calmed down, and looked at Third Master Hu: "Fine!" Her voice was icy cold.
After all, one wrong move and you might "meow" out, which would be too embarrassing in this situation. Tiger Master said, "Thank you!"
Li Xianrui ignored these people and turned to leave with her two junior sisters.
Tiger Master could, of course, escape with Old Mr. Zhao. But if he did, Tiger Master himself would be the one to suffer.
In addition, Li Xianrui also realized that "Old Mr. Zhao" had long since taken life and death lightly and clearly had the will to die.
Although she didn't know what grudge he had against Yu Chengshan, she vaguely knew that she absolutely couldn't ask at this time. Besides, in the end, she hadn't actually captured any of these people.
Returning to Ye Liuxiang, she bowed gratefully and said, "Thank you so much for your help, senior... I originally wanted to invite this legendary, mysterious heroine to visit Yucheng Mountain."
But the other person coldly replied, "No need, I'm just passing by." Turning away, they vanished into the last rays of moonlight. Seeing them leave so abruptly, Ji Xianrui panicked and took a few steps after them, calling out, "Senior Ye! Senior, please wait..."
She abruptly stopped, raising her hands to cover her mouth. Zhu Xiuhui and Zhao Xiangmei stared wide-eyed at their senior sister. Their senior sister had just said "meow"...she definitely said it!
Behind them, Fu Hai looked down and said, "I said, you're still following me?"
Li Xianrui turned around and coldly looked at Qingnang Nu, who was still clinging to Fu Lang's waist and being dragged along by him. Qingnang Nu cried out "Ah!" and jumped up, running to the other side.
Li Xianrui, Zhu Xiuhui, Zhao Xiangmei, and Fu Hai went outside. By this time, the sunlight had begun to brighten.
The streets became more crowded, and county soldiers were coming and going.
Only then did Li Xianrui truly breathe a sigh of relief, but she dared not speak.
Fu Hai glanced back and suddenly said, "Miss Xianrui, I have some acquaintances there, so I'll take my leave now!"
Li Xianrui nodded coolly and walked towards the city gate. Now it wasn't a good time to say anything; at least she could keep him company tonight.
Zhu Xiuhui and Zhao Xiangmei felt that their senior sister's attitude was too cold and inhumane.
Young Master Fu not only saved their lives, but he's also deeply in love with their senior sister. That night was thrilling and fraught with danger. How could he treat her like this once they're safe outside?
They all felt that the senior sister was ungrateful, heartless, and a woman who would abandon someone after starting a relationship.
The two girls bowed and said, "Young Master Fu, we'll head back to the inn now. We, the Painting Immortal Pavilion, will never forget your life-saving grace. Our senior sister is just like that, please forgive her, Young Master."
Fu Hai quickly waved his hands at his two sisters-in-law, saying, "It's alright, it's alright."
"Who do you think I am with your senior sister? I don't care about such trivial details." Li Xianrui glanced back at her two junior sisters.
Zhu and Zhao quickly followed, chasing after their senior sister. Fu Hai turned back and looked towards the other alleyway. Just then, Yue Lan and Xiao Ye peeked out and looked at him. ...**
In the desolate forest, Old Mr. Zhao sat in his wheelchair and said, "Thank you all for your trouble last night. I will definitely give you the rest of the reward." Tiger Master and Lu Cheng'an then escorted him away.
Four people remained: the pale-faced scholar, the green-bag girl, the peach-puppet girl, and Chen Ai-hu.
The woman with the green pouch asked curiously, "You all came out earlier, why didn't you escape first?"
The pale-faced scholar snapped open his folding fan and sighed, "It's not that we didn't want to escape, it's that we dared not escape! Only just now did the pressure that was watching us finally dissipate."
"Forget about escaping; if we make even the slightest move, we'll all die here."
The woman in the green pouch looked up: "Is that Ye Liuxiang's companion?"
The pale-faced scholar and his companions were also caught off guard; they hadn't even had a chance to properly assess their opponents. The moment one of them drew his sword, yelled "Ah!", and slashed a few times in the air, they all fell to the ground.
The Green Bag Girl looked at the man in front of Peach Puppet Girl: "Third Sister, is this your child? What exactly is he?" Peach Puppet Girl replied: "I don't know either."
The woman with the blue bag was shocked: "You don't know either? You don't even know about your own child?"
Tao Ou Niang said, "More than ten years ago, I found this child near Duan Yun Mountain. At the time, I thought he was just an abandoned baby that someone had left there. I originally wanted to send him to Baoji Hall, but I had a soft heart and adopted him myself."
"Later we discovered that no matter how we raised the child, he wouldn't grow up, so we became very curious and wanted to see what he would look like when he grew up, so we've been raising him ever since." Looking at the corpse, he said, "So this is what he looks like?"
The pale-faced scholar said, "You picked up a baby, raised it for over ten years and it still won't grow up, are you just going to keep raising it? What about the rumors in the martial arts world that a baby's cry will kill someone?"
Peach Girl said, "It's all just rumors. I've been holding this child for over ten years, and everyone thinks it's strange. They thought it was some kind of unique hidden weapon that I researched, and that's how the rumors started."
The woman in the green husk looked at the short woman in Chen Ai Hu's arms: "Why did you bring this zombie up here? She's already dead. She was a ghost zombie underground. She couldn't come out until she ate people and became a living zombie."
Chen Ai Hu suddenly burst into tears: "I know! I just can't bear to part with her. For so many years, I always thought I was really no good. It turns out I just haven't met the woman I like."
"Now that I've finally met her, she's dead. How am I supposed to live?"
The pale-faced scholar was shocked... You fell in love at first sight with a female zombie you just met last night who almost killed you?
The woman with the green pouch seemed to understand quite well: "Ah, this is love." The pale-faced scholar cupped his hands: "Now that this matter is settled, I shall take my leave."
The woman in the green pouch looked up: "Just like that? It's a rare opportunity to get together. What will happen in the future?" "No thanks!" The pale-faced scholar turned and left, not wanting to stay for even a moment longer.
A girl who likes to live in cemeteries and almost caused the annihilation of both sides. A woman who picked up a freak and dared to keep raising him even after more than ten years.
A man who can't get an erection with a living woman, but falls in love at first sight with a female zombie. I'm just a heretic.
You're all fucking weirdos!
Chapter 152 The Rising Tide of the Azure Sea? No Explanation Needed!
Fu Hai led Yue Lan and Xiao Ye on the streets in the early morning.
Today is the last day of the Lantern Festival. Although the most important lantern display has passed, the streets are still bustling.
At this moment, Xiaoye was no longer in her skeletal form; she looked like an ordinary, pretty girl. Xia Yuelan, wearing a pomegranate-red, high-waisted dress, looked radiant.
After Fu Hai inquired, he learned that the two women had come to the Goddess Temple the night before, intending to go home with him but they couldn't find him. They only saw Ling Yao and heard strange cries coming from the desolate forest, so they went to investigate.
Fu Hai said, "So, the one guarding Bingkou ahead is Yue Lan? They said you know demonic magic, what's going on?"
Xia Yuelan said, "I don't know either. I saw three people: a man, a woman, and a short, chubby one."
"They rushed towards me. I didn't know who they were. I drew my knife and shouted, 'Don't come any closer!' After a few exchanges, they fell down." Fu Hai looked at Xiao Ye in confusion... What happened?
Xiao Ye whispered, "Last night, Yue Lan went back to the inn and told Sister Ling Yue that you might be in trouble, brother. Sister Ling Yue said she had to stay there to help Sister Qiu Ying at the shop, so she didn't come."
Xia Yuelan hurriedly waved her hand: "It's not that I'm not worried about you, Senior Brother, it's just that it's a holiday, and it's not safe for Sister Qiu Ying to be there alone. It's only right that I stay with her."
She secretly complained, wondering why her senior sister wouldn't come with her.
But she still didn't want her senior brother to feel that her senior sister didn't care about him. Fu Hai said "Ah".
No wonder the three seventh-level experts, the pale-faced scholar, Peach Girl, and Chen Ai Hu, collapsed without doing anything after rushing out.
The difference in strength is too great; looking at others is indeed like watching sorcery. Especially since entering the sixth realm allows one to release internal energy.
Beyond the sixth realm, even reaching the fifth or fourth realm, dealing with low-level opponents might truly be a matter of moments, with the opponent collapsing on their own. Fu Hai already understood what was going on.
The question is, when did Lingyue notice it?
However, Lingyue is indeed much smarter and more perceptive than him and Yuelan, and may have already discovered it.
Fu Hai teased, "So that's how it is. I didn't expect Junior Sister to have cultivated your Dream Shattering Power to such a level. Impressive, impressive."
Xia Yuelan cried out, "I really only swung a few times, I didn't hit them!" Xiaoye said, "Doesn't that just make Yuelan's strength and technique even better?"
Xia Yuelan rolled her eyes: "Do you guys think I'm easy to fool? Anyway, at that time, I felt like there was a ghost behind me, but when I looked back and looked around, I couldn't see anything. It gave me the creeps."
Fu Hai said, "Where did this ghost come from behind you? It was when they rushed out that the zombie underground was releasing toxins everywhere, and they were affected by the toxins."
"Originally, he was suppressing it with his internal energy, but when he rushed in front of you, he used his internal energy, his breathing became disordered, and he collapsed on his own."
Xia Yuelan clapped her hands: "So that's how it is! I knew it." Fu Hai thought to himself, "It's really great that my junior sister is so easy to fool."
Xiao Ye pursed her lips, moved from Xia Yuelan's right to her brother's left, and together with Xia Yuelan, flanked him from both sides.
"Brother, what's your relationship with that Qingnang girl? Why were you riding on her like that?" she grumbled. She was quite familiar with that position; her brother had ridden on her like that before, holding her hands from behind.
"No, I have absolutely nothing to do with her!" Fu Hai explained. "How could I possibly have anything to do with her?"
"If there's no connection, then why is she holding you so tightly, brother?" Xiaoye poked her hand. "I... I don't mean to ask too much, it's just that women like this usually have ulterior motives and especially like to take advantage of others. Brother, don't be fooled."
Fu Hai raised his hand and stroked Xiao Ye's head: "I really have no relationship with her. I'm not... how could I be so easily fooled?"
Xia Yuelan, standing to his right, curiously peered forward: "Senior brother, who are you trying to say you aren't? Who's so easily fooled?"
Xiaoye looked up and, seeing that her brother didn't seem to be faking it, felt relieved. It seemed that her brother really had nothing to do with that Qingnang woman.
“Speaking of which,” she pouted, dissatisfied, “what’s the attitude of the young lady from the Painting Immortal Pavilion towards you, brother? You’ve helped her so much.” Fu Hai said, “Well, it’s alright.”
"I just feel that no matter what you say, you risked your life for them, so how could she treat you so coldly without even saying thank you?" Xiaoye said, holding her brother's arm. "Xiaoye also knows that you are kind-hearted and don't care about other people's repayment."
"But I just feel sorry for my brother!" Fu Hai looked up as she held him in her arms.
Recalling last night when Sister Xianrui was beneath him, she said shyly, "That's not how you cure poison," and then let him enter her Xianrui.
She was genuinely thanking them, and thanking them very sincerely! The three of them talked as they left the city.
Fu Hai recounted the whole incident to them, omitting the part about the Yin poison.
Fu Hai actually thought the plot of a female knight being poisoned by a malevolent spirit, with the protagonist just standing by, was incredibly cliché. He himself wouldn't even include such a plot in his novels.
What era are we living in? Surely no one still enjoys watching such clichéd plots? No way! But what's done is done, and there's nothing he can do about it.
Moreover, at that time, with Sister Xianrui's skill, she could have suppressed it, but his skill was shallow, which forced Sister Xianrui to use Xianrui to help him detoxify.
Speaking of which, the "Destroying Immortals and Trapping Flowers" was actually accomplished in this way?
The system simply crossed out the words "dog slave" and changed them to "cat girl," then counted it as completed. That's quite a bit of freedom. When he got outside the city, he opened the system to look at the "Song of the Azure Sea and Rising Tides" that he had just acquired.
"The Azure Sea Tide Melody: A Mysterious Musical Canon of the Demonic Path! It truly lives up to its name, no explanation needed!" What does "truly lives up to its name, no explanation needed" mean?
He had originally thought that since he already had it, he should see what its effects were and how to use it. But instead, he was given "deserving of its name" and "no explanation needed." What kind of nonsense is this?
