"Good news never leaves the door, but bad news spreads far and wide." Ye Fan smiled and said, "The two of you claim to be the gods of the desert, and you're talking about ten pairs of boys and girls. You've really frightened the people here."
"Why? Do you want to stand up for them, Sir?" Madam of Bones stared at Ye Fan with her sharp eyes and said with a smile.
"You're right." Ye Fan also stared at Madam of Bones and said calmly, "I'm standing up for them."
Madam of Bones narrowed her eyes and prepared to take a step forward.
The young man in front of her was extremely arrogant and looked down on everyone. This made her very angry.
Over the past few hundred years, dozens of cultivation experts had died at their hands. However, this was the first time she had encountered someone with such an arrogant tone.
She knew that this young man's cultivation was not simple, so she addressed him as Sir just now. Who would have thought that this fellow would not give her any face at all!
One had to know that even in the Demon Realm, those great demons had to respectfully address her as Madam of Bones when they saw her!
If she did not teach this ignorant brat a lesson, he would not know who he was talking to!
Just as she was about to make a move, White Bone Gentleman raised his arm and blocked her.
Madam of Bones knew that in terms of cultivation, his wife was no match for this young man in front of him.
The five-colored spirit qi wall that Ye Fan had set up earlier had left a deep impression on him.
This was the first time he had seen an expert with such pure spirit qi cultivation.
Madam of Bones looked at Madam of Bones with a puzzled expression.
Instead of explaining to Madam of Bones, Madam of Bones directly asked Ye Fan, "How should I address you, Brother?"
"My surname is Ye," Ye Fan replied calmly.
He did not need to hide his identity when dealing with these monsters.
"Mr. Ye, is there any enmity between us?" Madam of Bones asked Ye Fan.
Ye Fan shook his head.
"Since there's no enmity between us, why are you blocking our way, Sir?" Madam of Bones asked Ye Fan again.
"If you don't want people to know, don't do it in the first place." Ye Fan said to Mr. White Bone calmly, "It's true that I have no grudges with you and your wife, but what about the people in Fiery Dragon Town? Do they have any enmity with you two? "
"This …" Ye Fan's words left White Bone Gentleman speechless.
Originally, he had wanted to reason with Ye Fan, but who would have thought that this young man not only had a profound cultivation, but was also very eloquent. With just a few words, he had refuted him until he was speechless.
"It's just ten pairs of dolls. Why are you making such a big fuss?" When Madam of Bones saw that her husband was at a loss for words, she immediately said, "We already asked for too little. If the Demon King were here personally, we would have asked for at least 30 pairs of boys and girls."
"If that's the case, I have to thank you on behalf of the people of Fire Dragon Town?" Ye Fan's voice started to turn cold as a cold light appeared in his eyes.
Twenty human lives were no different from animals in their eyes!
If such a monster were to remain in this world, it would only cause the common people to suffer and plunge them into misery and suffering!
A murderous aura began to spread from Ye Fan's body.
Madam of Bones did not say anything.
She turned her head to look at Mr. White Bone, as if asking her husband if he should make a move immediately.
She no longer had the patience to continue arguing with Ye Fan.
Now, as long as Mr. White Bone nodded, she would immediately make a move without mercy.
"Mr. Ye," Mr. White Bone said to Ye Fan as he gestured for Madam of Bones to not make a move first, "With all due respect, I'm afraid that many people have died in your hands, right?"
Mr. White Bone's words made Ye Fan, who was under the white jade mask, frown.
This Mr. White Bone was indeed not simple. He could actually see this point!
"How is it, Mr. Ye? Am I right?" Mr. White Bone asked when he saw that Ye Fan did not answer.
His cultivation level was far above Madam of Bones', and he had already mastered the Yin Yang Secret Technique. With just a glance, he could see the number of people who had died in Ye Fan's hands.
"You're right. I have indeed killed hundreds of people," Ye Fan replied.
"Only the officials are allowed to set fires, but the common people are not allowed to light lamps," Mr. White Bone said to Ye Fan with a smile. "I'm afraid that you're being a little unreasonable, right?"
"Those people who died in my hands all deserved to die," Ye Fan said coldly.
"People who deserved to die? Haha. "Mr. White Bone smiled and shook his head." Let me ask you, Mr. White Bone. Who are people who deserve to die? "
Mr. White Bone's question immediately stunned Ye Fan.
He had never thought about this question.
In his opinion, as long as he wanted to kill someone, they all deserved to die.
Obviously, this was not the real answer.
"In your opinion, those people do deserve to die," Mr. White Bone continued. "But have you ever thought that in their opinion, you also deserve to die?"
Ye Fan didn't say anything.
Mr. White Bone's words seemed to make some sense.
In the eyes of those ninjas who died in his hands, he did deserve to die.
The reason was simple. If he didn't deserve to die, they wouldn't want to kill him.
"In fact, there is no such thing as deserving death in this world," Mr. White Bone said. "Survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest. It's that simple. A tiger won't feel guilty for killing an antelope. In its opinion, the antelope was born to be its food, so it deserved to die. However, in the antelope's opinion, the tiger also deserved to die. It can eat hares, deer, and even wild wolves. However, the tiger didn't eat anything else but attacked itself. If this isn't deserving of death, then what is? "
Ye Fan listened quietly.
"The tiger thinks the antelope deserves to die, and the antelope thinks the tiger deserves to die. But what's the result?" Mr. White Bone stared at Ye Fan. "Only one person died, and that was the antelope. This result wasn't caused by who deserved to die more, but by who had more power. The winner is king, and the strong are respected. That's all. "
"The reason why you say that is because you are a tiger, not an antelope," Ye Fan looked at Mr. White Bone. "If you were an antelope, you wouldn't think so."
"You're right. I am indeed a tiger now." Bai Gu Langjun said to Ye Fan. "But have you ever thought that once upon a time, we husband and wife were just antelopes that could be slaughtered by anyone?"
Mr. White Bone's words suddenly made Ye Fan's heart move.
"You mean … when you were alive?" Ye Fan frowned and asked.
"That's right." White Bone Gentleman said, "Do you know how we died back then?"
As he spoke, he looked back at Madam of Bones.
Madam of Bones looked sad, as if she didn't want to talk about the past.
"Ruoyun and I were originally from Jiangxi. We grew up together and were childhood sweethearts." Mr. White Bone's thoughts drifted back to eight hundred years ago. "After we grew up, I became a teacher, and Ruoyun was still in her boudoir. We were in love with each other."
Thinking back to the situation back then, the Gentleman of White Bones smiled as he looked at the Madam of White Bones tenderly.
"It's all in the past. Why are you still bringing it up?" Madam of Bones said softly.
"In order to marry Ruoyun, I lived frugally and saved twenty taels of silver in two years. I was prepared to use this money to propose marriage and marry Ruoyun." Mr. White Bone continued, "Who would have thought that when I happily rushed over with the betrothal gifts to propose marriage, Ruoyun's house was already hung with white silk and paper money flying everywhere!" At this point, Mr. White Bone's eyes were filled with tears, and his voice was choked with sobs. "After asking, I found out from the servants that three days ago, the son of the county magistrate of the neighboring town led three groups of yamen runners and carried a palanquin with eight carriers to barge into Ruoyun's house. They forced Ruoyun into the palanquin and left! Ruoyun's parents were already old, so they couldn't withstand such a situation. In a fit of anger, they both passed away! "
"Don't say anymore!" Madam of Bones said as two streams of hot tears flowed out of her eyes.
Ye Fan frowned after hearing this.
"After I heard about this, I ran to the government office of the neighboring town to look for Ruoyun like a madman. However, I was just a teacher who didn't have the strength to truss up a chicken. I wasn't a match for those evil yamen runners at all. Instead, I was beaten half to death by them." Mr. White Bone continued, "In order to save Ruoyun, I sold my family's property and went everywhere to complain. However, those corrupt officials protected each other. When they heard that I was going to sue the county magistrate's son, they directly kicked me out of the house, saying that I was slandering an official of the imperial court. They threatened me and said that if I came to complain again, they would throw me into prison and punish me."
Ye Fan began to clench his fists.
He was very familiar with the faces of those corrupt officials.
"Originally, my heart was like dead ashes and I wanted to end it all by killing myself. However, when I thought of Ruoyun's suffering, I dismissed the idea of killing myself. I can't die. The ones who should die are them!" Mr. White Bone gritted his teeth and said, "I spent a lot of money to buy a ninth-ranked official's robe on the black market and bought a bag of arsenic from a pharmacy. After disguising myself, I pretended to be a low-ranked official who came to deliver gifts and came to the residence of that corrupt official's son."
"You killed him?" Ye Fan raised his eyebrows and asked.
"That's right," Mr. White Bone said, "When I was serving tea to that official, I secretly put in the arsenic hidden in my fingernail. After that bastard drank my poisonous tea, he started to foam at the mouth and blood flowed out of his seven orifices. He died. When he died, the residence immediately fell into chaos. I took this opportunity to find Ruoshui who was locked in the room and took her to escape. "
Ye Fan's tightly clenched fists relaxed.
"I knew that I had killed an official's son and pretended to be an official of the imperial court. The government would definitely search for me everywhere. There was no place for us in Jiangxi," Mr. White Bone continued, "Thus, I took Ruoyun out of the city in the middle of the night and fled all the way to the southwest desert. We prepared to cross the border and escape to a foreign country."
"You didn't escape and both of you died in the desert, right?" Ye Fan asked.
"That's right. We didn't escape," Mr. White Bone said, "The desert here is filled with sand and sand. Ruoyun and I were not acclimatized to the environment and quickly lost our strength. Just as the two of us were in despair, a camel caravan happened to pass by."
"They saved you?" Ye Fan asked Mr. White Bone.
