Chu Li frowned, "What's there to look at?"
Siao Shi said, "I want to see what those bandits are like. They're so inhumane!"
Chu Li said, "They're like normal people … Alright, I'll be back soon!"
As soon as he finished, he disappeared without a trace.
Siao Shi stomped her feet angrily.
Yang Xu smiled, "My Lady, Chief is doing this for our own good. We really shouldn't look at murder."
"You've seen murder before?"
"I've seen it once. I still feel uncomfortable when I think about it. I had nightmares for a long time!"
"What's so scary about death? Everyone has to die."
Yang Xu said, "It's better not to look."
"He can look but we can't?" Siao Shi was unconvinced, "Does he have more guts than us?"
"He's a man after all. His Yang energy is strong." Yang Xu said, "It's best for women not to look at these."
As the two of them spoke, Chu Li appeared in front of a village.
This was a ruined village. There was a big hole in the village gate that could fit a person. The Protector at the gate was dozing off with a long blade.
Under the twilight, smoke curled up from the chimneys of the village. The people in the village were cooking.
The village below did not cook but there were fireworks. As he thought about this, the murderous intent in his heart grew.
He floated and arrived in front of the Protector. With a flash of his sword, he pierced through the heart and died instantly. Although the sword form of the First Form of Godly Blade was not perfect, its power was still shocking.
He floated into the village.
The children who were playing and chasing each other in the stockade saw him and immediately screamed and ran back to where they came from.
Chu Li did not care about the children. He looked at the bandits who rushed out with swords and knives. Seeing their murderous intent, his face darkened. He rushed in front of them and flashed his sword. Every time it flashed, a heart was pierced.
After a while. There were more than ten men lying on the ground. Only a dozen children and some old and weak women and children were left. They stared at him in shock.
Chu Li scanned through the Omniscient Mirror and his body flashed. He found a few that escaped and killed them one by one. Then, he floated away.
Behind him, there were earth-shattering cries and the women's shouts of abuse.
Chu Li showed no mercy and did not slow down.
He appeared in front of the two women. Siao Shi stared at him.
She found it strange that Chu Li had a relaxed smile on his face. It was as if he was not going to kill, but to save someone.
Yang Xu was also sizing him up.
Chu Li smiled. "Let's go."
Exterminating a stronghold full of bandits and saving a lot of innocent people, it could be said to be a meritorious deed, worthy of celebration, so he was in a very good mood.
As for the dead bandits, he didn't even see them as human beings. He treated them like pigs and dogs.

The three of them arrived at Qing Yun City one night.
Chu Li found the three residences according to the address.
Siao Shi sized up the small courtyard. He turned to look at Chu Li with a puzzled expression.
There was no garden, no bamboo forest, and no gazebo in this small courtyard. There was only a well in the empty courtyard. From the courtyard door to the living room, there was a small path laid out with a few stones. When it rained, one could use it as a foothold to avoid sinking into the mud.
This was the poorest household, which was completely different from what Siao Shi had imagined.
The surrounding houses were the same. It was obvious that the people living here were poor.
Chu Li nodded in satisfaction. Although the house was dilapidated, its location was very good.
The three residences were next to the city wall. They could leave the city at any time.
"Is it really here?" Yang Xu smiled, "Chief, isn't this too hard?"
Chu Li said, "It's surprising. It won't attract attention. "
"But Lady Siao Shi doesn't fit in here." Yang Xu said.
Even if Siao Shi went out with her face covered, with her graceful figure and graceful temperament, she would stand out. No one would not stare at her.
"Then don't go out. We won't be staying for long."
"That's it." Siao Shi smiled, "It's not bad. I've never lived in such a broken place."
Yang Xu sighed, "I'm just afraid that Lady Siao Shi won't be used to it."
"It's not like we can stay for a few days. Go in and tidy up. "Siao Shi said," I'm tired too. "
"Yes." Yang Xu helplessly agreed and went into the house.
Chu Li said, "You guys stay here, I'll stay there."
He pointed at the courtyard in the east.
"You're not staying with us?" Siao Shi was surprised.
Chu Li said, "Staying with us will damage your reputation. Rest early. If you need anything, I'll buy it tomorrow. Try not to go out!"
"… Okay." Siao Shi stared at him and nodded lightly.
Chu Li glided over the wall and entered the courtyard in the east.
Although the courtyard was broken, the bedding in the house was new. Jiang Kuai was considerate.
He sat on the pit, crossed his legs and channeled. The night passed quickly.
The next morning, he finished his cultivation and went to the courtyard in the west.
Siao Shi was pacing in the courtyard. It was a way to keep fit. As she walked, she looked at every corner in amazement.
When Chu Li saw her clothes, he could not help but laugh.
She wore a rustic green floral jacket. It was a world of difference from her yesterday.
If one did not look at her face, no one would think that she was the first beauty of the Great Ji.
Yang Xu was busy cooking. She was dressed like a country maid and looked neat and tidy.
"You're really something." Siao Shi yawned.
Chu Li smiled, "You didn't sleep well last night?"
Siao Shi said, "It's a little weird to suddenly change to a kang bed. But it's very safe."
Chu Li was relieved when he saw her like that. He glided back to his courtyard and continued to cultivate. He was ready to try cultivating the Heavenly Demonic Power.
When Yang Xu finished cooking, she called him and he went to eat with her.
In the following days, they settled down here.
The three residences were located at the westernmost end of the street, close to the city wall. There was no one else around.
There was a family in the east of Chu Li. There was only a middle-aged woman and her twenty-year-old son.
Siao Shi and Yang Xu almost never left the house.
Chu Li, on the other hand, had to go out for a walk every day. He would buy vegetables, meat, rice, and other miscellaneous things. Daily necessities were extremely trivial.
Other than going out to buy things, he was also used to strolling around the city. He walked everywhere, explored the terrain, and listened to the gossip among the people.
He knew that the son of the family in the east was a member of the association. He was a disciple of the Swan Association.
In the evening, he carried a piece of braised meat and walked back while bathing in the sunset.
Smoke rose from the chimneys of every house on the street.
He suddenly saw a young man snatching an old lady's basket.
He recognized the young man. He was the son of his neighbor, Yang Baoshu.
"Baoshu, there's really no need. I can carry it." The old lady protected her basket and shook her head.
"Aunty, I don't want to criticize you, but you're already so old. Why are you acting tough? Just tell me and I'll do it for you!" Yang Baoshu was tall and strong. He had a long face and small eyes. He was not handsome at all.
There were two bruises on his face. It was obvious that he had fought with someone.
As he spoke, he forcefully snatched the old lady's basket and carried her into a house. After a while, he came out laughing.
He looked up and saw Chu Li. He smiled and greeted him.
Chu Li nodded and walked away slowly with his hands behind his back.
Yang Baoshu looked at Chu Li's back and scratched his head.
This neighbor of his was a weirdo.
He looked like a scholar. He idled around every day. If he wasn't watching people play chess, he would just stroll around. It was as if he had nothing to do all day long.
He wore a white robe all day long. He was too pretentious.
How could he work while wearing a white robe here?
There was mud everywhere on the street. If it was raining, he would be covered in mud after taking two steps. He was purposely making things difficult for himself!
Yang Baoshu secretly shook his head and rubbed his face. He wanted to rub away the two bruises on his face. He slowly walked home.
