"I don't want to do anything, I just want to kill you, or be killed by you."
As the bald man spoke, Yan Li felt his blood run cold. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a familiar pattern at the junction of the collarbone under the bald man's neck. He fixed his eyes on it and found that it was a strange black lotus.
Followers of Heaven!
As soon as he thought of this, his body tensed up to the extreme, ready to fight to the death at any time.
This feeling came without any reason, but it was involuntary.
At this moment, the surrounding traffic seemed to have come to a standstill, and the world took on a gray hue. He could only hear his own heartbeat and the faint flow of his blood.
"Vulture!"
Just at this moment, a cold shout rang out.
The bald man called "Vulture" looked away from Yan Li.
Yan Li's body relaxed, and the world returned to normal, the noise rushing into his ears. He couldn't help but look up, only to see a woman in a purple robe exuding a cold aura, wearing a silver raccoon mask, standing a distance away, saying coldly:
"Don't complicate things."
"Lotus, don't ruin my mood." Vulture said without turning his head.
"You know the consequences of failing the mission." The woman said coldly.
"Pfft!" The strange expression on Vulture's face disappeared, and the black lotus on his chest also disappeared. "It's like this every time. Strange woman, so annoying, so annoying …"
He kept repeating these two words, passing by Yan Li.
The woman called "Lotus" followed closely behind. From beginning to end, she didn't even look at Yan Li.
As she walked, she took out a palm-sized compass-like object. It had a mirror cover, and the bottom was embedded with exquisite gems and engraved with runes.
"Star Searching Plate, let me see, where is the target of the mission?" Vulture turned his head to look.
At this time, they happened to pass by the Heavenly Plan Pavilion, and the "Star Searching Plate" suddenly flashed.
Lotus's eyes flashed, and she quickly scanned the surrounding crowd.
Suddenly, she saw a woman in a white robe leading a few children, and said in a low voice: "This woman is strange."
"Let's talk after we kill him." Vulture grinned and strode over.
"So this is the candied fruit." Song Xiaolian stared at the red and delicious candied fruit in her hand. "It's, it's so beautiful."
"Look, wu … what are you looking at … wu wu wu … hurry up and eat." Yue-er grabbed a big handful of food in each hand and wolfed it down. It was as if she wanted to make up for all the food she hadn't eaten during this period of time. She simply didn't have time to talk.
Suddenly, her movements and footsteps stopped. Her cheeks were puffed up and she looked a little funny, but the look in her eyes was absolutely not funny.
At the same time, Ji Zhiyuan also stopped in her tracks. She and Yue 'er looked at each other and turned around at the same time. They saw a bald man striding over with a strange expression on his face.
"Take them away," Ji Zhiyuan said in a low voice.
"Master, be careful!" Yue 'er knew that the three of them would only be a burden if they stayed here. She made a decision almost instantly. She waved her hand and the candied haws disappeared. Then, she grabbed the two kids who didn't know anything and slipped into the crowd like a wisp of smoke.
Ji Zhiyuan's mind was highly focused and vigilant.
"Wait." Lotus suddenly shouted.
Vulture stopped in his tracks and looked back. He saw that the Star Searching Compass had stopped moving. "What's going on?"
"You have eyes." Lotus said coldly.
"It must be those three kids." Vulture said and was about to chase after them.
"No." Lotus said, "The target had stopped here before."
"Wrong again!" Vulture was very displeased. "It's time to improve the Star Searching Compass. It's so annoying, so annoying …"
Ji Zhiyuan looked at the two of them, who brushed past each other in confusion.
…
After running for an unknown amount of time with the two kids, Yue 'er came to a secluded alley.
"Sister Yue 'er, where are we going? It's so dark here. I'm scared." Song Xiaolian said timidly.
"Sister Yue 'er … I, I'm scared too …" Xiao Hu said as he chewed on the candied haws in his mouth.
Yue 'er suddenly stopped and let go of their hands. She looked around and didn't know where to go. "What are you afraid of? I'm here. You won't get lost. Follow me."
Half an hour later, she stopped and looked at the old wall that was still tall and big. She turned around and faced her two friends who were still in a daze. She said calmly, "I'm tired. I'm going to take a break."
Xiao Hu and Song Xiaolian looked at each other and saw the fear in each other's eyes.
"Little brother, little sister, are you lost? How pitiful. Do you want me to bring you out?"
At this moment, four gaudy ruffians suddenly walked in from one side of the alley. They let out strange laughter and walked toward Yue 'er.
Yue 'er shouted angrily, "I'm not lost!"
"Is that so." One of the ruffians laughed. "Then why don't I invite you to my house to play? My house is one of the biggest gangs. Have you heard of the Dragon River Gang? If you come with us to play, there will be delicious candies. "
"Sister Yue 'er …" Song Xiaolian hurriedly hugged Yue' er's hand like a trembling lamb in the mouth of a wolf.
Xiao Hu seemed to be scared silly. He stood there motionless.
"Delicious candies?" Yue 'er didn't seem to notice their bad intentions. Her eyes sparkled. "Really? Is it as delicious as candied haws? "
"Of course it is. It's ten thousand times better than candied haws." The ruffian vowed.
Yue 'er immediately beamed. "I want to go. Xiao Hu, Xiao Lian, let's go eat delicious candies."
"But before we go, you must first hand over your valuable things." That ruffian laughed and pointed at Yue 'er.
"Yue 'er has valuable things on her?" Yue' er seemed to hear this for the first time. She couldn't help but rummage through her body.
"Don't talk nonsense!" Another impatient ruffian suddenly pulled out a long knife and fiercely said, "Little demon, we saw you have a Qiankun bag. Quickly hand it over. Otherwise, we will take your life!"
Yue 'er laughed again. "So you guys lied to me."
That ruffian sneered and pointed his knife at her. "So what if I lied to you? Quickly hand it over. Otherwise, hehehe … "
Yue 'er slowly raised her hand. Her five fingers moved slightly. That ruffian's laughter hadn't died away when he suddenly stabbed his companion with a knife. The knife pierced through his heart.
"You …" That person didn't believe it even in death. He tremblingly pointed at her.
"No, it wasn't me …" That ruffian cried out in fear.
Yue 'er revealed an innocent smile. "Uncle, killing people is against the law." That small hand controlling the Devil String didn't stop.
That ruffian pulled out his knife. Blood sprayed all over his body. He couldn't control himself. He screamed and cut another ruffian who couldn't react in time.
The last ruffian suddenly seemed to understand something. With a roar, he pulled out his knife and rushed towards Yue 'er.
Yue 'er stretched out her other hand. With a slight movement, that ruffian couldn't move at all.
The long knife fell to the ground with a clang.
The two children were scared silly by this scene. They couldn't say a word.
"Xiaolian, Xiao Hu." Yue 'er suddenly shouted. Her five fingers moved slightly. The two ruffians knelt in front of her.
"Sister Yue 'er …" The two children came back to their senses.
"Pick up the knife." Yue 'er said.
Song Xiaolian still had a lingering fear. He carefully ran over and picked up one of the long knives.
Xiao Hu foolishly picked up the other knife.
"Kill them." Yue 'er said with a smile.
"Clang!" The long saber fell to the ground again.
The two children's faces were even paler than before. They were even more frightened.
"Spare us, spare us …" The two ruffians desperately begged for mercy. If it wasn't for the fact that they couldn't move, their heads would've been broken.
"Sister Yue 'er … I, I don't want to kill people …" Song Xiaolian cried.
"Sister Yue 'er …" Xiao Hu trembled.
Yue 'er's smile was still so innocent. "If they don't die, you will die." Her index finger moved slightly. The two ruffians' hands moved and reached for the long knife.
Xiao Hu suddenly pounced towards the long knife with lightning speed. He grabbed it. With a loud roar, he stabbed the knife into the body of one of the ruffians.
The long knife entered the flesh. Screams and blood.
Xiao Hu mechanically turned his head. That stupid face of his had already been dyed red with snot. He still foolishly smiled at Song Xiaolian. "Xiaolian, come here, come here …"
Song Xiaolian's entire body began to tremble. She was like a lotus that had been ravaged by a storm. What appeared in front of her was the entrance to the abyss. Those two faces that hadn't changed yet were already strange. It was as if demons were calling out to them.
She still went over. Behind her was an even more terrifying dark hell.
… …
All the fireworks shops in the city were busy. Only Haiyuan's old man's door was tightly shut.
Inside the tightly shut door, Gu Haiyuan was humming a tune as he packed his things.
Suddenly he heard a "ge ge" laugh. The curtain was pulled open by a tender jade hand. A white clothed young lady walked in. "Old man Haiyuan, why are you in such a hurry to pack? It seems like you are extremely tired of this place."
"Ai, it's been a whole five years. For a trash like me who can't cultivate, how many five years do I have in my life?" Gu Haiyuan seemed to already know who it was. As he packed his things, he shook his head and sighed.
The young lady said tenderly: "Why are you so frivolous. As long as you nod your head, Lotus Throne will do its best to help you increase your lifespan."
Who knew how many craftsmen would rack their brains for such an invitation. However, Gu Haiyuan shook his head. "Forget it. This old man likes to be alone, free and unrestrained. I can't stand being restrained."
The young lady already knew it would be like this. She smiled and said: "There is an Elemental Brilliance Stone in the Wang Palace's treasury. This matter has already been confirmed. I am lucky. What if there isn't anything you want? "
Gu Haiyuan's movements paused. Then he said: "Then I will continue searching. Until I die." His tone was indifferent. However, his eyes were filled with hatred.
The young lady's gaze turned and landed on an ordinary leather bag on his waist. She asked curiously: "Where's your Qian Kun bag?"
Gu Haiyuan clenched his teeth and scolded: "It's all that little bastard's fault. He doesn't know how to respect the old and love the young!"
