C38 (1/2)

He had only spoken half of his words when he stopped in his throat. His face was pale and the sweat on his forehead was clearly visible.

The girl in the palanquin looked at the village curiously. Her face had been glowing just a moment ago, but now she was as pale as a sheet of paper.

He couldn't help but stick his head out as well to see what was going on.

However, it didn't matter when he stretched his head out, as he happened to see the already dried up yamen runners on the ground.

Ah …” ”Ah …

A heart-wrenching screech sounded. The alarmed seagulls flew into the air, and the great geese in the sky scattered in all directions. It seemed as if the cry had the meaning of the Lion's Roar Technique.

Usually, this girl would beat up those stinking men who didn't have money and wanted to find women until they spat out blood. But when had she ever seen such a tragic death?

That scream not only startled the birds, but also made Ruo Lan frown. She pushed open the door of the sedan and quickly ran up to check.

When they saw the miserable deaths of the yamen runners, they were shocked.

The current Ruo Lan was no longer that young lady who was afraid of venomous snakes.

Ever since she had her magic, after killing the knights who violated her, she was no longer afraid of killing people.

However, the deaths of these yamen runners were still too horrifying.

Slowly, he raised his eyes to face the black-clothed, expressionless man in front of him.

A hint of surprise rose in his eyes before it was extinguished by the trembling voice of the townsman.

At this moment, Xiang Zheng, who had a pale face, pointed at the ring with a trembling finger and stammered, ”Audacious Monk …” You... How dare you kill a bailiff... What do you want? ”

He had originally thought that if the other party was trying to rob him of his wealth, then he would just give it to him.

Unexpectedly, the other party's answer made him kneel on the reef in an instant.

Jun Wu You stared at him coldly, and slowly said with an expressionless face. You're asking this sovereign, what do you want? ”

The crescent blade in her hand slowly rose up. Her gloomy face made Ruo Lan wonder if she had seen wrongly. Was this person Xiao Qi gege?

He did not even look at himself as he stared at the village. His words were filled with killing intent and were almost real: ”You want to send Ruo Lan to the palace? You, damn it. ”

Jun Wu You's hand had not finished speaking when his blade swept across the sky like a bolt of lightning.

”Don't —!” Simultaneously, Ruo Lan let out a shrill scream after being shocked.

By the time her voice rang through the sky, the village was decapitated.

The head that had left his body flew into the air and splashed into the grass by the side of the road, but not a single drop of blood remained.

The corpse rapidly dried into dried bones. Its skin was so close to the bones that it caused one to shiver.

What happened was too sudden and too strange.

In the sedan, the girl's face had already turned pale from fright. The hair that had been messed up by love had been scattered all over her face, like a ferocious ghost.

She wanted to howl, but no sound came out. Her body went limp, and she fainted inside the sedan.

The little girl that served Ruo Lan also rushed over at this moment. She called out ”Miss” and was so scared that she started to cry.

This cry awakened the absent-minded Ruo Lan.

Coming back to his senses, he stared at the face of the village head who had died with grievance. He was indeed dead.

Ruo Lan slowly raised her head and gazed at the ”Big Brother Xiao” who came for her.

Jun Wu Yi kept the crescent moon blade and slowly walked towards her.

The sea breeze blew his black robes, and he faintly smelled of blood.

Ruo Lan narrowed her eyes and stared at him, unblinking, as if she would disappear in front of her in the blink of an eye. ”Brother Xiao Qi, you know I'm going to marry into the palace and come for me, you're not willing to part with me, right?”

That clear and melodious sound that was like a skylark entered his ears.

Looking at her delicate makeup, Jun Wu Yi's heart was moved.

All of the anger, bloodlust, and hatred disappeared as soon as he saw her, and was replaced with tenderness.

On the girl's flawless face, the willow leaf eyebrows were heroic and enchanting, and the pair of black eyes beneath them were sparkling, captivating the soul and captivating the soul, causing one to be unable to open their eyes.

He nodded and smiled. He extended his hand and slowly walked toward her. His tone of voice was filled with gentleness and emotion that he had never shown before. ”Lan Er, come back with me.”

Ruo Lan stretched out her hand in a daze, letting his slender fingers grasp hers.

Clenching his fingers, he stared at her and smiled.

That smile was so beautiful and brilliant. She really wanted to indulge in it.

However, there was something strange about that feeling.

Was the person in front of him really his big brother Xiao Qi?

Was it because he wanted him to stay behind, not hesitating to kill those disgruntled monks from the village and those dozen of yamen runners?

No, that shouldn't be the case. Brother Xiao Qi wholeheartedly wanted to be a Buddha. His heart was kind and benevolent, how could he kill?

However, under his gaze that was as warm as water, she couldn't help but recall the little things that happened between her and him.

When he was a child, he was mocked by his fellow villagers, and when he was always waving his fists at them, he stopped himself, smiled, and said, Girls don't want everyone.

However, if someone else was bullying him, then Xiao Qi gege would always be the first to rush up. Although he looked weak because of eating, he wasn't afraid of losing. He fought until he was covered in blood and refused to give in.

At that time, he was treated like a witch and burned. This was the first time he displayed his buddhist skills and saved himself.

Afterwards, he accompanied him through the village and alleyways to treat the patients, all for the sake of satisfying his vanity.

When he thought back to all the care and love he had shown her recently, his heart softened.

He had done all of that in order to retain himself. It was because he did not wish to marry into that palace that he had no choice but to do so.
