The Soul-Stealing Demoness threw a flirtatious wink at Xiao Zizi and Xiao Yin Yin, setting off an alarm in my heart.
“Hmph, I won’t bother with you. I’m here to obtain that spirit fox! The inner core of a thousand-year-old spirit fox can beautify and nourish one’s complexion…” Her eyes glanced upward, making Wan Zai scream in terror.
“Enough! You’ve killed so many people and stolen countless treasures for your desires. Hmph, even if you maintain your youthful appearance, you can’t wash away the evil in your heart!” A young Wudang disciple rushed forward, boldly cursing at the Soul-Stealing Demoness.
She laughed coldly, waved her silk sleeve, and the Wudang youth was sent flying, spitting betel nut juice. An old Taoist priest caught him, but the young man soon died from her attack. Just for a few words, she dealt a fatal blow.
I couldn’t help but shudder at the horrifying sight of a life snuffed out before me.
Feng Qinyin immediately pulled me close, pressing me into his embrace.
Listening to his powerful heartbeat, I gradually calmed down. Raising my head, I saw Xiao Zizi’s worried gaze, warming my heart. I was never a righteous person, so why bother? I just want our big family to be happy and safe! If others don’t provoke me, I won’t provoke them. But if someone does, I’ll destroy their entire clan.
Lowering my gaze, I saw two grunting pigs leading the way, followed by a group of people in colorful clothes, aged twenty to forty, with weathered, expressionless faces. Ahem, I’d better explain. Yesterday, I hurriedly hired drummers and flute players from the mountain since I couldn’t find any impressive musicians.
Behind the drummers was a large bed—modified for the occasion—carried by sixteen people. To create an entrance effect not inferior to the Heartbreak Demon Woman’s, I wanted to hang muslin curtains on bamboo poles by the bed, but Xiao Zizi opposed it, stating it would disgrace the city’s appearance.
After careful consideration, I decided to adopt Meng Yu’s suggestion to hang a mosquito net over the bed.
At the back was my handsome men’s group, though they were shy and wrapped their heads tightly, revealing only their passionate eyes.
I initially wanted to hire villagers to shout “Herbal Door Master, Unifying Beautiful Men,” but they reluctant to negotiate, which forced me to abandon this idea.
My entrance was so impressive it stunned everyone. After I finished the rice ball in my hand, they finally came back to their senses.
I waved to everyone with a rice ball and soy milk amidst enthusiastic applause. Unable to fly onto the stage like the Heartbreak Demon Woman due to my team’s limitations, I climbed down from the bed and made my way up to the stage.
“It’s you?” the Heartbreak Demon Woman’s voice was sharp. Knowing she coveted my beautiful men and harbored a grudge against me, I replied, “Got a problem? Take it to the higher-ups!” Our meeting was charged with tension.
The two fish-faced gentlemen from yesterday appeared again, still holding a grudge against me. While I considered my options, a blue figure flashed by, solving the problem with a punch and a kick.
With everyone’s exclamations of “Wow—”, the two fish-faced gentlemen crashed to the ground, unable to get up. Xiao Yin was venting his frustration, clearly unhappy with my situation.
“Great moves!” praised the Heartbreak Demon Woman as she moved towards Feng Qingyin, reaching to pull off his head covering.
Dare you look at my man? Even if you’re curious, at least be discreet! This was clearly a provocation!
Feng Qingyin was caught off guard, and his stunning face was exposed. Although he had been seen yesterday, being so close today was infuriating. I quickly stood in front of Xiao Yin like a protective mother hen: “Yesterday was a free trial; today it’s one or two silver pieces per glance!”
The crowd took a step back and covered their eyes, showcasing the honesty of ancient people. In modern times, they’d be shouting for better views.
The Heartbreak Demon Woman smiled seductively: “Move aside.” Her tone was cold.
I realized she was talking to me, so I pulled Feng Qingyin aside, hiding him behind me.
“You—” the Heartbreak Demon Woman was stunned but quickly grew displeased and launched a Ten Yin White Bone Claw towards me.
“Oh no, my rice ball fell!” I bent down to pick it up.
The Heartbreak Demon Woman missed and turned green with anger, swiftly attempting another grab.
Her entire head, except for her brain, was almost completely ruined. I never thought she would choose to end her life rather than admit defeat. I found the situation quite dramatic—playing with her led to her own downfall as she tried to harm me. Lying on my back, I sighed: Oh, life…
“Excellent! Flower Sect Master’s skills are impressive!” someone shouted, followed by cheers: “Flower Sect Master, Flower Sect Master, Flower Sect Master…”
I felt overwhelmed. What’s happening? At least I’ve made a name for myself.
So I happily waved to everyone, as if I were the Ilisha White Queen.
Probably intimidated by the Heart-Stealing Demon Woman, no one dared to step forward. I glanced at Wangzai, and Little P was covering his face shyly. What are you being shy about? You can’t turn into a handsome man and marry me!
I noticed the bull-nosed Taoist priest standing up—the one who competed with me for a spot yesterday. He didn’t show up when the Heart-Stealing Demon Woman intimidated everyone, but now that I’ve accidentally become the champion, he comes to challenge?!
“Wudang’s Xiang is here to learn from Flower Sect Master!” he said, cupping his hands in a martial salute.
I narrowed my eyes at him. Is this the so-called hero? I sneered. As soon as he finished his salute, I launched a Heavenly Horse Meteor Punch without warning.
The poor priest had barely realized what was happening before he was sent flying.
The crowd gasped, following his trajectory with their heads until he landed with a series of “pa pa pa,” raising a choking dust.
“Can I take Wangzai—uh, the little fox now?” I asked the other judges.
The judges exchanged glances, and a nun eventually nodded: “Theoretically, if no one challenges, it should be possible… This Flower Sect Master just shocked us by defeating the Wudang Sect Master. Even two Heart-Stealing Demon Women probably couldn’t do that!”
After the treasure-hunting gathering, I became the most talked-about figure in the martial world. The popular phrase now is: Hey, do you dare to hit me? Want to beat someone up? Think you’re the Flower Sect Master?
Hmph hmph, calling for votes! Without votes, I’ll strangle the handsome man, swat away the cat, and stomp on the fox! Wa ka ka—
Everyone (contemptuously): Try it if you’re not afraid of death…
Then Chang Ge wilted, crawling back in an scene of falling leaves.
[061] Wangzai the Evil
Standing at the bow of the ship with my hands behind my back, I blankly gazed at the beautiful scenery ahead. Sunlight poured down, casting the river in silver brightness. Occasionally, a fish leaped out of the water, creating rippling silver waves.
“The sky is high, letting birds fly freely; the sea is wide, allowing fish to leap.”
“What’s wrong?” Xiao Zi asked, coming to my side.
“Nothing, just a momentary reflection,” I replied. Should I tell him I’m thinking about a fish wanting to imprison love in a golden pool? Breaking up is breaking up; what’s there to be upset about?
So-called attachments are self-imposed. Not wanting him to continue questioning, I looked ahead to change the subject: “Is this where you were searching for someone?”
“Mm.” Xiao Zi also looked into the distance.
“Why didn’t you bring Jing Hao Bai?” Feng Qing Yin had also come over, still holding a playful little fellow. They’d been playing happily the past few days.
“What for?” I smiled faintly, answering with a question.
