Little girl, save me!
"Hurry! Go and see what's going on!"
Many famous disciples rushed to the mountain peak, obviously, that lightning was not ordinary. Such a quiet and beautiful night, how could there be sudden thunder from the sky? However, this strike did not stop at one, while they were rushing to the mountain peak, two more frightening thunderbolts struck separately, making people's hearts tremble with fear.
However, when they arrived at the mountain peak, they only saw three disciples who had been charred to death on the ground, and around them, there was no one else...
"What's going on?" The crowd murmured in shock, rushing forward to investigate. Those three disciples had stopped breathing, their bodies charred and emitting a faint smell of something burnt...
"Take them back and report to the master of the gate." The crowd said, lifting the three and carrying them down the mountain.
At the same time, Tang Zihao sat in his wheelchair, pursing his lips and staring at his master, while the man in gray clothes put his hands behind his back and paced back and forth: "How could you attack them? And take their lives, do you know that if this matter is investigated, killing disciples within the Immortal Gate is a crime punishable by expulsion from the Immortal Gate."
"They're asking for trouble!"
"Aren't you usually very tolerant? How come you can't tolerate it tonight?" The man in gray clothes was puzzled. He knew he had been bullied by other disciples, but he hoped he could endure it. Normally, he didn't even put those people in his eyes, so why did something happen tonight?
Tang Zihao's eyes narrowed slightly, the murderous aura in his eyes still not dissipating, said: "Dare to insult my sister, you must die!"
Upon hearing this, the man in grey let out a soft sigh. So that's how it was. No wonder he had developed murderous intentions towards them, even going so far as to use his Thunder Technique to kill all three of them. It turned out that those three had stumbled upon his reverse scales.
"Alright, alright, it's getting late at night, you go back and rest!" He waved his hand, indicating for him to leave.
Upon hearing this, Tang Zihao raised his eyes to look at him, with a hint of astonishment in the depths of his eyes: "Master won't hand me over to the sect master for punishment?" He had killed those three people and hadn't expected to be able to stay in the sect anymore. If it wasn't for his master going up to bring him down earlier, he wouldn't have left either.
"You are my disciple, and if something goes wrong, I will also bear half of the responsibility. Besides, this matter is not entirely your fault. I will personally go talk to the master, you can go down now! However, remember that next time you must not be so rash."
"The master teaches with regret, the apprentice remembers it in his heart." As long as he doesn't touch his reverse scales, he won't take action casually.
"Go ahead!"
"Disciple, you may withdraw." He said, turning his wheelchair towards his own house.
The next day, in the South Immortal Gate, Tang Xin told her master about her decision, and her master was very supportive. She instructed Tang Xin to be careful on her journey and also told her that if she obtained the badge of a Dan-refining Master, she should return, because they still hoped she could refine the Great Yuan Dan to help their sect's leader break through the Golden Dan period.
Refining the Great Yuan Dan was inevitable, she wouldn't shirk it anyway, after all, she would need to use the Great Yuan Dan in the future. Having agreed, she then went to Tian Yin's place.
"Tang Tang, when are you coming back?" Tian Yin's face showed reluctance as soon as she heard that she was going to take the exam for the Alchemy Master badge, because she was currently at the stage of entering the Foundation Building period and could only work harder, not putting her mind elsewhere.
She smiled and said: "Wait until I've assessed the badge, it should be back soon. Focus on your cultivation, maybe by the time I get back you'll have already broken through to the foundation period."
"Is that Mo Xun going with you too?" She asked in a low voice, looking around: "Why didn't I see him follow?"
"Didn't he follow you?" Tang Xin's mouth twitched, and she glanced at a certain tree. The guy had been worried that she would sneak off on her own again, so after coming back, he had been following her closely without leaving her side for an inch. How could he possibly not have followed her?
Following her gaze, Tian Yin saw a white figure leaning on a tree not far away. The tree was swaying gently in the windless sky. She couldn't help but laugh and ask: "Tang Tang, what is he doing?"
Afraid I'd run away, she stared at me all the time." She said helplessly.
"That's great! Having him accompany you on the road won't be boring, but with that face of his, he'll probably attract a lot of rotten peach blossoms once he goes out. You'd better keep an eye on him to prevent any trouble."
"I'm glad he's far away from me now, you don't know, that's a dangerous person, and it's specifically against me."
Upon hearing this, Tianyin let out a sigh of envy: "Alas! I wish I were like your Shu Chenfeng. I'd be delighted if he came to bother me. Come to think of it, I haven't gone down the mountain in a long time. Maybe I'll go visit him in a few days."
"Hehe... Last night when I entered the city, Xiao Liu Zi was asking about you and said it feels a bit cold without you. If you have time, go visit him! I think not only Xiao Liu Zi misses you, but also Xiao Xuan Er is starting to feel uncomfortable without you."
"Really? Then I'll go tell my master about it, and we'll go tomorrow." Thinking of him, she couldn't help but smile, with a happy expression on her face. It turned out that liking someone could be really joyful, and one's heart would leap with joy at the other person's changes, yet also get hurt by their indifference. It was really contradictory.
But she didn't know that when she went to Yi Pin Xiang, Xiao Xuan Er had already left...
Although Mo Xunfeng's Huo Qilin flew quickly, Tang Xin used the flight talisman he had obtained from Tian Yin. In less than half a day, they had already left Nanxianmen far behind and arrived at a town.
Mo Xunfeng walked alongside her, and due to his exceptional looks, wherever they went, he would attract people's attention and become the center of attention. Tang Xin disdainfully said to him: "Keep a distance from me, haven't you seen those infatuated gazes all falling on you? Those women are so jealous that their gazes are all on me, truly a handsome face is a calamity."
"It's not my fault that I look good, besides, eyes are born on other people's faces, can't help it if they want to look. Phoenix glanced around at the men and women with a half-closed gaze, looked at Tang Xin beside her, raised the corner of his lips, stretched out his hand to wrap around her waist: "Since they like to watch so much, let's get closer, let them watch!"
A hand suddenly appeared on her waist, making her pause. Seeing the envious and jealous glances from those women falling on her, she elbowed him: "Let go! What are you doing in broad daylight!"
"Xiu Xiu, you're so loving! What's our relationship? And not afraid of being seen by others." He smiled like a cunning fox and said: "If you don't want your face to be seen by others, I'll wear a mask. This way, other women won't see it, how about that?"
Tang Xin glanced at him and didn't bother to say more, seeing a nearby talisman shop in the distance, she said: "Let go, I'll go take a look over there."
Mo Chenfeng was distracted for a moment, and she slipped away from his side like an eel, heading towards the talisman shop. He raised an eyebrow and followed her forward.
"Miss, take a look around, we sell all kinds of materials for making talismans here, with prices ranging from high to low, satisfying the needs of people from all walks of life." The shopkeeper smiled and introduced, just finishing speaking, when a handsome man like a celestial being followed in, he hurriedly went up to greet him, but saw him wave his hand and say: "I came with my wife."
Tang Xin, who was looking at the goods, stumbled upon hearing this and almost fell to the ground. She turned around silently and looked at the man with a sly face, then said to the stunned shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, I don't know that madman, don't mind him, come over and help me settle these accounts."
"My dear wife, since you know I was wrong, I'll forgive you!" Mu Chenfeng walked forward, gently pulled her white sleeve, and stood beside her with a contrite expression.
The shopkeeper thought it was a young couple quarreling, although the man was too handsome and the woman was too ordinary. But as the saying goes, "fish head matches fish tail", how can two people be perfect? Maybe that woman is not good-looking, but she must be outstanding in other ways, otherwise, how could she make such a handsome man like an immortal fall in love with her?
He walked up with a smile and said, "It's normal for couples to quarrel, isn't it? They say that couples who fight in bed make up in bed too. Madam, since this young master has apologized, why not forgive him?"
"Ah, the shopkeeper is right." Mu Chenfeng smiled with narrowed eyes, a pleased expression on his face as he looked at the speechless Tang Xin.
"Shopkeeper, I want these things. Calculate how many gold coins they are." She put all the things she needed on the counter and let him count the price.
"It's all right, daughter, just pay for your husband and it will be fine." He walked up front and said with a smile.
Tang Xin glanced at him: "I have money myself."
"My money is all yours, you can keep yours and use mine instead." He walked forward and handed over a crystal card: "Shopkeeper, settle the bill."
"Good, good, good! This young master is really fond of your daughter, this lady is so lucky!"
Finally, Tang Xin didn't spend a single gold coin and packed everything up to leave. Let him spend his own money then! Someone followed behind to pay, what a bargain, not taking it would be a waste.
Outside, the aroma of meat buns wafted from somewhere, she sniffed and her eyes lit up, seeing a bun shop not far away with several large steamers placed at the entrance, shouting: "Hot and fragrant big meat buns!"
She didn't hesitate and walked over, while behind her, Mocheng Feng had just left the Fu Lu shop when a loud shout came: "Catch him! Bring him back to me!" Phoenix's eyes slightly lifted, glancing in the direction of the voice, a seductive woman with a pair of lecherous eyes staring at him, several big men rushing over, the momentum making his phoenix eyes narrow, originally wanting to raise his sleeve and brush them off, however...
The phoenix's eyes glanced at the woman who was staring at the steaming meat bun, completely forgetting about her 'husband', and even unaware that this 'husband' was about to be snatched away. A sly glint flashed in her dark pupils, and a subtle curve rose on the corner of her lips as she swept a glance over the men rushing towards her. Her figure spun around, and suddenly she assumed a panicked appearance, hastily running in the direction where Tang Xin was.
"Save the girl!"
Tang Xin had just gotten her hands on a meat bun and was overjoyed, taking a sniff before turning around. Suddenly, a white figure flashed by, running up to her with a whooshing sound, and hid behind her in an instant. All she could hear was the panicked voice laced with helplessness that reached her ears, leaving her stunned for a long time.
"My daughter, they want you as their son-in-law..."
Mocheng hid behind her, his eyes full of suppressed laughter, but he pushed her forward in a panicked tone: "Quickly, quickly block them."
Tang Xin blinked, came back to her senses, and saw a seductive woman not far away staring at someone behind her with an obscene gaze. The woman was wearing only a small piece of clothing that barely covered her chest, her flat belly exposed, with a few bells tied around her waist, and a thin gauze dress draped over her body. Her lower body was clad in a pair of shorts that only reached the buttocks, and her long, snow-white legs were visible under the gauze, tantalizingly hidden and revealed.
"You're so lucky, such a beautiful woman, don't you want her?" She said with a smile, turning her head halfway around, while leaning to one side and trying to push him forward: "Go on! How can you bear to refuse a beauty who's been delivered right to your doorstep?" This guy is indeed a magnet for women, no sooner had he entered the city than he attracted a group of fierce and flirtatious women who robbed him in broad daylight.
"Except for you, any other beautiful woman is like a sow to me. How can she be compared to you? You must take care of your husband and not push him into the fire pit." He held her waist tightly with both hands, and whenever she moved, he followed, hiding behind her and not coming out.
The people around him saw this, and after a moment of stunned silence, they all looked at each other with strange expressions. They thought to themselves: "This man looks so carefree and extraordinary, how can he be so timid? And he's even hiding behind a woman?" Originally, they had all been thinking that such an outstanding man would have a more impressive partner, but it seemed that this man was not as capable as he looked.
"Just pretend! I'm too lazy to care about you." She walked away, took out the meat bun she had just bought and was about to take a bite. But before she could even bite into it, everything in her hands and pockets was kicked away by someone.
Her face suddenly fell, looking at the white and chubby thin-skinned meat bun rolling on the ground for a few laps, then being trampled by those big feet. Her eyes flashed slightly, with a cold intent passing through her eyes, she raised her gaze to glance at those men with a smug expression, and suddenly hooked up the corner of her mouth, laughing softly.
"You're quite bold."
The smiling voice had just fallen, and she suddenly flashed her body, lifted her foot and kicked it fiercely from bottom to top, hitting a person's chin. The man let out a miserable cry, his whole body rolled to the ground, spitting blood and teeth all over the place.
Seeing this scene, the people around couldn't help but gasp in shock. What a fierce woman! Just now she seemed calm and harmless, who knew that with one kick she would knock out all of that person's teeth? The speed was so fast, it left everyone stunned.
"Ah! Pffft!"
"Bang! Bang!"
Two other men were also kicked to the ground by Tang Xin. Looking at the three men wailing on the ground, she walked over, squatted down, picked up the flattened buns that had been trampled and oozing with meat juice, lifted her foot and stepped on one of the men's belly. The man let out a miserable cry, his mouth just opening when the flattened bun was stuffed into it, blocking his cries.
Two men who fell not far away saw it, and were so frightened that they left in a hurry. At this time, the enchanting woman narrowed her eyes, walked over slowly, put her hands around her chest, slightly raised her chin, and looked at Tang Xin with a proud face.
"Ugly freak, hand over the man behind you, and I won't bother with you. Otherwise, don't think about leaving Chu City!"
Tang Xin raised an eyebrow, she originally didn't plan to bother with the trouble caused by the guy behind her, but this woman was really hateful, blocking the way and not looking very pleasant, at this time her stomach was empty, she hadn't even taken a bite of the meat bun, and her temper had also risen.
"My man, who dares to snatch?"
She hooked her arm around the waist of the sturdy man behind her and raised her chin slightly, with a queen-like demeanor: "Tell me, is the woman opposite ugly?"
Someone with a flattering smile, delighted by her words: "Wife, there's no woman in front of us, I only see a mother pig with ** periods." Her man, who dares to snatch? Hehe, he likes this kind of talk.
"Hmm, good." She smiled with satisfaction, her eyes fixed on the seductive woman who was trembling with rage: "This sow, if you're so eager, go to the pigsty and find a boar to satisfy yourself. Don't run around in the streets with your lustful heart, thinking of jumping into bed with anyone you meet. You should know that sows can't mess around with humans, got it?"
The onlookers were shocked, their jaws almost dropping to the ground. This...this is just too much!
At the same time, everyone couldn't help but take a step back as they saw her fists clenched and her whole body trembling with rage. This woman was the younger sister of the lord of Chu City, and who in this city didn't know about her lustful nature? Often on the streets, she would see men with good looks and try to seduce them, some men seeing her beauty and charm thought it was a blessing to be kept by her in her mansion, while those who refused were beaten to death by her. Her debauchery knew no bounds, yet no one dared to intervene. Today, the young couple from out of town had run into her, and they probably only had bad luck waiting for them.
"How dare you say that to me? You, you're asking for death!" She clenched her fists tightly, and the spiritual energy around her burst out. One hand swept through the space ring, taking out a whip which she grasped firmly in her hand. Her eyes, filled with anger and hatred, locked onto Tang Xin. The next moment, her figure spun, and she lunged forward, the whip in her hand cracking loudly as it struck towards Tang Xin.
"Get out of my way."
Tang Xin pushed away Mu Chenfeng, who was about to approach, and coldly smiled: "This woman is just begging to be beaten!" As soon as the words fell, a white figure flashed by, flying out from behind and kicking the waist of that seductive woman. She stumbled forward, barely managing to steady herself without falling to the ground.
Mo Xunfeng smiled after hearing Tang Xin's words and retreated to the side, watching. With Tang Xin's skills, that woman was no match for her, he didn't need to worry. He glanced at the owner of the baozi shop who was also staring blankly, walked over and said: "Give me ten meat buns." After she finished dealing with that woman later, it would be just in time to eat the steaming hot buns.
The owner of the baozi shop didn't expect him to still have the mood to buy baozi, and stared at him with a strange expression: "Aren't you worried that your wife can't handle Miss Chu? Miss Chu is very formidable, you'd better take your wife away quickly! Otherwise, if Master Chu arrives later, you won't be able to leave!" The owner was kind-hearted after all, seeing that the young couple were outsiders who didn't know what was going on in this city, so he could only remind them in a low voice.
"Hehe......" Mu Chenfeng smiled and said, "Don't worry, my wife is very formidable. She can take on ten people at once. Whoever provokes her will not have the upper hand."
The boss of the baozi shop looked at the two women fighting in the distance with a mixture of suspicion and curiosity, while handing him twelve baozi: "Here, take them well, my baozi shop has been open for over a decade, I see your wife also likes it, so I'm giving you two more, if you're really okay, eat the baozi and hurry out of town!"
"Thank you boss." He took out a few gold coins and placed them on his desk.
But then, the owner of the baozi shop saw those few gold coins and was stunned, repeatedly saying: "No, no need to use so much, this baozi is not worth much money, just some loose silver coins would be enough, these gold coins are more than my store makes in a month..."
"It doesn't matter, just keep it! We don't need this little money."
He took the buns, picked one up and smelled it, a very fragrant aroma. Looking at this meat bun, he couldn't help but think of his first encounter with her back then. It seemed that she had hugged his leg because she didn't have enough money to buy a meat bun. Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth slightly rose, and his mood was quite pleasant. He sat down at the table placed in front of the bun shop, elegantly eating the meat buns while watching Tang Xin scolding that woman in front of him.
"Whoosh!"
A burst of air broke through the void, and suddenly, Tang Xin snatched the whip from the enchanting woman's hand. With a "whoosh", she whipped it once, and the thin silk on the woman's body split open, revealing a snow-white skin that was marred by a shocking lash mark, causing her to let out a piercing scream.
"Ah! I'll kill you!"
The alluring woman was no match for Tang Xin, and the whip was snatched away from her. With a cold smile, Tang Xin lashed out with the whip, striking the woman's body with a loud crack. As she withdrew the whip, it tangled in the woman's hair, and with one yank, it came loose, sending the woman's locks tumbling down. Looking at the disheveled state of the once-alluring woman, Tang Xin sneered: "You're not as formidable as you thought? How come you can't even handle this?"
"Whoosh!"
"Ah! My face...my face..."
When the whip lashed across that seductive woman's face, her shrill cry was filled with panic. What she cared about most was her appearance; if it were to be ruined...
"Hmph! Can't even withstand a single blow!"
Tang Xin carelessly threw the whip aside, patted his body and turned around. At a glance, the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily, and his clear eyes blazed with flames. This guy, she was scolding that woman, but he was comfortably sitting there eating a bun!
"Come, my lady, have some hot buns. Try them, they're really delicious." Seeing her eyes flashing with anger, Mu Chenfeng hastily brought over the steaming hot meat buns and approached her, looking at her ingratiatingly: "My lady, you must be hungry, right? Come, sit down here and rest for a while, I'll pour you a cup of tea."
Tang Xin took the bag from his hand, hummed and turned to walk forward. Mu Chenfeng saw it and chased after her: "Wait for me, wife..."
And that enchanting woman, who had been beaten by Tang Xin until she was covered in wounds and her beauty was ruined, trembled as she touched her face, lifted her head to stare at the direction of the two people's departure. Her gaze was like a poisonous snake, making one's heart shudder with fear.
"Little sister! What's going on? Who did this to you?" The middle-aged man rushed over, looking at his sister who was covered in injuries and had a ruined face. He was both shocked and furious. In the city of Chu, someone actually dared to hurt his sister like this. Good! Very good! This clearly meant that someone was out to get him, Chu Yuan!
"That woman! Big brother, you must avenge me! Kill that woman! No, I want to flay her skin, drain her blood! And then throw her into the snake pit!" She was shouting hysterically, with a fierce and crazy expression. Her words also frightened the surrounding crowd, who retreated in shock, not daring to look at her vicious and sinister face.
"Was it a woman? A woman who hurt you like this? What kind of woman is she? I'll go catch her!" Chu Yuan's eyes were fierce, and the brother and sister were not good people. However, because Chu Yuan was a foundation-building cultivator and had some power, after defeating the original city lord of this city, he became the new city lord and changed the name of Baijia City to Chucheng.
At this time, Tang Xin and Mu Chenfeng were drinking tea at a small tea stall, resting. Mu Chenfeng had been smiling from the corner of his mouth since earlier, and his phoenix eyes were even more so. The two sat opposite each other, he stared at her with a silly expression, looking at her with a foolish gaze, making Tang Xin puzzled.
"What's wrong with you again? Don't drink tea?" Being stared at by him like this, she also felt uneasy all over.
Her phoenix eyes narrowed, and the smile that couldn't be hidden poured out. All she saw was him, with a sweet face looking at her, his magnetic voice filled with laughter: "You just admitted it yourself, I am your man."
"When? Is there?"
"Yes, I've already heard your nonsense, and it's not just me who has heard it, the people around us have also heard it."
"Oh, don't take that seriously, I was just using you to annoy that woman." He said while drinking his tea, completely nonchalant about whether he had actually said something like that before.
He smiled happily and said, "Don't worry, I will remember it forever, I won't forget it. This is your promise to me, such an important thing, I will treasure it for a lifetime." Want to take back what's been said? Ha ha, no way!
Tang Xin's mouth twitched slightly at the corner, and she glanced at him before opening her mouth to speak, but just then a harsh and venomous voice came from beside her ear - it was that seductive woman from earlier.
"It's her! Big brother! It's that woman in white! You must help me get revenge! I won't be satisfied until she's miserable!"
The peaceful world of the two was destroyed, and Mu Chenfeng narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flashing in his black pupils as he swept his gaze towards the source of the voice. Suddenly, the seductive woman from before rushed over with a middle-aged man, followed by dozens of guards, each one exuding an aura of ferocity and killing intent. The middle-aged man hadn't even approached yet, but he quickly gathered a burst of spiritual energy in his hand, and with a whooshing sound, a ball of flame shot towards the two of them.
At this moment, a killing intent flashed in Feng Wu's eyes. A white figure flashed and swept across the table, quickly pulling Tang Xin into his arms to avoid the attack. The two figures flew around in circles before landing steadily on the ground. The white clothes fluttered, and the elegant demeanor was breathtaking. Especially with Mu Chenfeng's handsome face like a celestial being, as well as his noble and elegant temperament, it truly made everyone around him, regardless of age or sex, stare blankly, unable to come back to their senses for a long time...
That stunning woman, whose body was covered in whip marks courtesy of Tang Xin, now had a look in her eyes that seemed to have discovered prey. How could she let such a man slip away? At this moment, she grasped her big brother's hand with an urgent and hungry expression: "Big brother, I want that man! You must help me get him back!"
Chu Yuan stared at the two people, both wearing the same white clothes, with the same extraordinary elegance, but different was that the man had a heavenly appearance, while the woman was ordinary. The man's appearance was such that even if he traveled all over the country, he had never seen anyone who could compare to him. No wonder his younger sister had taken a liking to him and didn't mind getting herself injured all over in order to bring him back. With a sinister gaze half-narrowed, like a ferocious wolf staring at the two people in front of him, they seemed to only have the strength of the Refining Qi stage. If that was really the case, then it would be easy to handle.
"Are you going to follow us quietly or do you want me to take action?" Chu Yuan put his hands behind his back, puffed out his chest, raised his chin and glared at the two of them.
"What should we do?" Mu Chenfeng looked at Tang Xin with a completely obedient expression.
"Hands off." She slapped away the hand that was wrapped around her waist, saying irritably: "As soon as you find an opportunity, you take advantage of me. Can't you be serious for once?"
Mo Chen smiled and withdrew his hand: "Wife, I've always been serious. Even if I'm not serious, it's only with you."
Looking at the two of them, as if no one was around, flirting and quarreling on the main street, the surrounding people were stunned, while Chu Yuan's siblings looked gloomy and furious, never had anyone dared to ignore them like this, not putting them in their eyes! These two, really despicable!
"Seize them! Bring them to me!" The angry shout had barely escaped his lips when the twenty or so guards rushed forward, surrounding the two.
At this time, a team of twelve mercenaries entered the city, each with a strong and majestic aura. Twelve people forming a mercenary group was rare, as most groups had at least thirty to fifty people to ensure smooth task execution and combat advantage. However, there were exceptions - those with exceptionally strong abilities, like the legendary Twelve Dragon Riders who shook the continent in just three years!
The Twelve Dragon Riders, no one knows where they came from, only that their reputation started three years ago. Rumor has it that each of the twelve is ferocious and ruthless, rumor has it that each of them is a tough guy, rumor has it that all of them have reached the Foundation Establishment stage, rumor has it that none of them acknowledge a master!
A team of twelve masters from the Zhuji, skilled in combat tactics, working together seamlessly like a mighty dragon that cannot be stopped! Such a team is what every family and strong individual wants to possess. However, they are all extremely proud, cold, and unyielding, never fearing power and never surrendering to any force! It's precisely because of this that they have offended many families and forces, with many people offering high prices to buy them out and enslave them.
When the twelve men walked in unison on the main street, the people watched them one by one with curiosity, because their pace was neat, their faces were cold and stern, and their momentum was impressive. Such mercenaries had never been seen in Chucheng before.
As they arrived in the city and walked down the main street, Long caught a glimpse of a crowd of onlookers gathered ahead, but he merely gave them a cold glance before turning away, continuing to lead his brothers forward. As they passed by, however, a familiar voice reached his ears.
"With just a few people, you think you can capture me? You're overestimating yourselves." Tang Xin's nonchalant voice rang out, casting a glance at the guards with an air of complete disdain.
Long Yi's footsteps paused as he heard the voice, and he looked towards the crowd, vaguely seeing a white-clad woman surrounded by guards. Although her face was obscured by the people in front, he remembered that voice.
"Dragon One, what's wrong?" asked Dragon Three from behind, puzzled as to why he had stopped.
"Do you still remember that girl who saved us that time?"
Long San was taken aback and replied, "I remember."
"She's right there." His gaze pierced through the crowd and landed on that white-clad figure. At once, he let out a low shout: "Make way!" As soon as his voice fell, the surrounding civilians were startled and parted to make a path.
Long Yi walked forward, and the eleven people behind him also followed. The woman who had saved them? Although it had been several months, they still couldn't forget her figure like a startled swan and that beautiful skill. They just didn't expect to see her again after so long.
"Huh?"
Tang Xin raised an eyebrow and looked at the twelve men who walked up, weren't they the twelve men who were flogged? It was really strange to meet them here.
"What kind of people are you!"
Chu Yuan saw the twelve men walking over with big strides, their hands raised high, throwing off several of the guards who had formed a circle around them. Their piercing gaze swept towards him, and that gaze made his heart skip a beat, so he didn't dare say another word.
She swept her gaze over the twelve men, then looked at Tang Xin beside her: "Acquaintances?" This woman, how did she know people after all? Who were these twelve people anyway? The aura was chilling, not one bit inferior to her previous eight slaughter.
"We don't really know each other."
As soon as she finished speaking, the twelve men stepped forward and came to her front with a fist: "The Dragon Riders Twelve, have seen you, miss."
"Oh heavens! Dragon Knights! They're Dragon Knights!"
"That's the most powerful mercenary on the Tiger Roar Continent! Also the rarest!"
"How could Longji be so respectful to that woman? What's their relationship? Who is that woman anyway?"
Compared to the excitement and shock of the people around her, Tang Xin seemed very calm. She glanced at them lightly and said, "No need for courtesy." Her gaze moved away from theirs and fell on Chu Yuan's stunned face, with a hint of a smile.
"Dragon, Dragon Rider?" He went weak in the knees, his face filled with fear as he swallowed hard, looking at Tang Xin and then at the twelve Dragon Riders. Suddenly, all he wanted to do was slip away...
Following Tang Xin's line of sight, Long Yi's gaze fell on Chu Yuan's body and asked: "Are these people looking for trouble with the young lady? If the young lady doesn't mind, we'll help her solve it." She had saved their lives before, so if they could help her, they would be very happy.
Tang Xin hooked up the corner of her mouth: "Good."
Upon hearing this, Long turned around, glanced at those people with a cold gaze, and gave the order in an icy tone: "Kill them!" The ruthless and emotionless voice shocked the surrounding civilians, and even more so, it made Chu Yuan's siblings' hearts jump with fright. In a panic, they pushed through the crowd to try and escape. However, their speed was no match for Long's cavalry. In just the blink of an eye, Long drew his long sword from his waist with a "chi" sound. A flash of cold light appeared, and with one swift strike, he split Chu Yuan in two. The bloody scene caused the crowd to scream and quickly disperse.
"No, don't kill me..."
That enchanting woman's legs turned soft at the sight, and she fell to the ground with a thud. However, the dragon knight, who didn't know what it meant to show mercy or pity, didn't even bat an eye, his sword flashed by, and with one stroke, he sealed her throat!
The remaining guards were not worth mentioning, a few swift movements and they fell one by one. The swordsmanship was swift, fierce and ruthless, causing Tang Xin's eyes to flicker as she watched from the side. These people's strength was indeed impressive, with foundation-building period power and exquisite swordsmanship. Dragon Riders Twelve? Not bad.
"Let's go!" Táng Xīn said to Mù Zhēnfēng, taking a step forward and preparing to find a place to rest for the day, planning to continue on the next day. Although she was going to take the Dan Master Association's badge assessment, she wasn't in a hurry and could take her time.
"Mm." Mu Chenfeng smiled slightly, took a step forward and walked shoulder to shoulder with her, holding her hand in his own, with a smile lingering on his lips.
She lowered her head and glanced at him, then shook her hand: "Let go."
"Don't let go."
"Let go!"
"Don't let go."
They solved the problem of those people, Longji saw them walking and waving their hands, one saying to let go and the other saying not to let go, they were stunned for a moment, looked at each other, and quickly followed up.
In this world, the strong are revered, killing people is not subject to imperial law, as long as you are a strong person, taking someone's life will not be criticized by anyone. It is precisely because of this that people in the world admire and respect the strong.
Arriving at an inn, Tang Xin called out: "Innkeeper, give us two rooms."
"One is enough." Mu Chenfeng said with a smile, neither fast nor slow, but enough to suffocate someone.
"Two rooms!" She gritted her teeth in anger and glared back at him.
"A room." He still smiled, with an air of a banished immortal, floating and dust-free, looking at the shopkeeper's stunned eyes spinning between the two.
"I said two rooms!" Running into this scoundrel had worn out her good temper.
Mo Chenfeng smiled and changed his gesture to wrap around her waist, saying to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, just one room, my wife is having a tantrum!"
"You!" Tang Xin was furious, this scoundrel, was he born just to torment her?!
"My dear wife, just calm down, I'll serve you well tonight and consider it as an apology to you, okay?" He smiled like a cunning fox, yet had an innocent-looking face, even the shopkeeper intervened to mediate.
"Come on, madam, since your husband has already said so, don't be angry with him anymore. How about this? You two go upstairs to have dinner first, and I'll get the servant to prepare a room for you, so you can have a comfortable and happy night's stay... Ha ha..." The shopkeeper said, beckoning the servant: "Servant, take these two guests upstairs."
At this time, Long Qi and the other eleven Dragon Riders who were standing outside the door looked at each other and asked, "Are they really husband and wife?"
"It seems like it is, yet it doesn't seem like it," Long Wu said, his eyes fixed on the two of them.
"It doesn't look like it, they probably aren't husband and wife yet," said Long Er.
"Didn't they live in one room as husband and wife? Wouldn't that girl be very dangerous?" Long Shi raised an eyebrow, looking at them.
"I see that man has been taking advantage of the girl all along, he's no good." said Long San.
Long Twelve nodded and said, "Miss will be at a disadvantage if she stays with him."
"Shall we go and bring the girl down?"
"What a great idea!"
