Urbaner Blumentraum - Kapitel 188
Seeing him becoming increasingly smug, Feng Xuese slowly chewed on the chicken and said calmly, "Very good! You confessed yourself! Eight hundred chickens, that's enough to keep you in jail for three to five years!" I've never seen anyone so stupid! He actually worked himself to death just to hunt a wild pheasant.
Zhu Huihui tightly shut her mouth and squatted back down on the ground.
Feng Xuese's lips curved slightly, then she tore the chicken in half and tossed the other half to Zhu Huihui.
Zhu Huihui happily accepted it, and shamelessly smiled apologetically: "Thank you, hero!" Although the chicken was his own, it seemed that the other person should be the one saying thank you, but he was magnanimous and didn't mind... He squatted down in the corner and started gnawing on the roasted chicken.
Feng Xuese looked at his black hands, and after holding back for a while, she couldn't help but say, "Can't you wash your hands before you eat?"
Zhu Huihui looked at her hands and thought they were unbelievably black, so she casually wiped them on her clothes: "My mother said I don't need to wash them, my hands and feet are clean!"
If your chicken-stealing hands are clean, then there's no one in this world with dirty hands! Feng Xuese took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled: Forget it, even using poison on a snake couldn't kill this guy, maybe it's because he eats with dirty hands every day!
While gnawing on a chicken, Zhu Huihui asked, "Great hero, I have a question that I can't seem to figure out."
"What's the problem?"
"You saved that snake envoy, why don't you ask them who exactly came to kill you?"
Zhu Huihui would rather die than admit that the Twelve Zodiac Envoys came to kill him—however, after his attempt to molest the Snake Envoy and murder him failed, they must be here to kill him! Alas, what bad luck!
Feng Xuese, perhaps feeling indebted to the master, became much more amiable: "The Blood Pavilion takes money and is loyal to its master. Even if you cut off their heads, they won't reveal who their employer is. That's the reputation of an assassin."
Zhu Huihui pondered for a long time, holding her head, unable to understand how there could be such a fool who would rather die than confess. What a load of rubbish! What's a reputation worth anyway? However, clever and opportunistic people like herself are a minority in this world…
Mentioning this, Feng Xuese's face suddenly darkened: "Who told you to kick the Snake Envoy off the bridge?"
His expression turned cold, and Zhu Huihui instinctively felt a chill and shrank back into the corner: "No...nobody..." But nobody stopped her from being kicked off! Besides, she was the one who tried to gouge out her own eyes first!
“You… how could you be so cruel, without a shred of kindness or compassion? If you do such a thing again, I will not forgive you!” Feng Xuese’s voice was extremely stern.
Zhu Huihui didn't dare to talk back and respectfully said, "Yes, hero!" In his heart, he cursed, "He turned his back on me right after I finished eating his food. I should have fed the roast chicken to the dogs instead of giving it to you!"
Feng Xuese stared coldly at Zhu Huihui, then suddenly slapped him on the shoulder, sending him flying.
Zhu Huihui was shocked. He could hear the curses in his mind! Just as he was about to shout, "Great hero, spare my life!" he heard a loud crash, and a huge hole appeared above his head. A giant Ruyi Vajra smashed down, instantly creating a deep crater in the ground.
Zhu Huihui saw the thick, long pestle and his tongue stuck out for a long time. Good heavens! How big must a giant be to be able to use this thing! He had learned his lesson from almost being sat on to death by the pig envoy. As soon as he saw the giant appear, he "whooshed" over a rusty iron pot leaning against the corner of the wall and crawled behind it to protect his chest.
But he's been really unlucky lately. Just as his back touched the wall, the wall suddenly moved, and he was thrown backward, landing heavily on the ground. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and, ignoring the pain, immediately covered his head with an iron pot and burrowed into the bushes.
Hearing a continuous rumbling sound, he peeked through the crack in the iron pot and saw that the roof of the house had been smashed and the four walls had been destroyed. Standing around it were five giants who looked exactly the same. They were all dressed in coarse yellow hemp clothes and hemp shoes with many ears. They carried huge steel pestles and were at least twelve feet tall. They had broad backs, thick hips, big shoulders and thick waists. Their five big heads were covered with messy hair and were comparable to his own.
The Sky Over the Martial World is Clear, Part Two: The Sky Over the Martial World is Clear, Chapter 10 (4)
My God! Who are these five mountains?! Well! They don't even have the ultimate weapon, their butts, so they just use their stinky little feet, like little boats, to step on each other. They'd probably just crush themselves to death!
Zhu Huihui immediately ducked into the pot, hiding in the grass, too afraid to utter a sound.
The color of Maple Snow rose like a wisp of smoke the moment the house collapsed, landing on a horizontal branch of a hemlock tree, frowning as it looked at the five giants at its feet:
"The Five Heroes of Qiyun?"
The title "Five Heroes of Qiyun" is an exaggeration; these five giants were actually known in the martial arts world as the "Five Scoundrels." They were siblings from the same mother, and from a young age, they were all tall, strong, and incredibly powerful, but their minds were rather dull. They were often bullied and exploited by the local villains. Later, they were taken in as disciples by Master Huizhi, a master of the Qiyun Sect, who disciplined them strictly and taught them external martial arts techniques based on their immense strength and thick skin. However, while their skills improved, their intelligence didn't, making them a source of much amusement in the martial arts world, hence the nickname "Five Scoundrels of Qiyun." Fortunately, despite their scoundrel nature, they were simply honest and straightforward, and not inherently evil.
Why are these five scoundrels causing me trouble?
The eldest brother said in a gruff voice, "Get down! If you don't, I'll smash the tree down and kill you!"
"Come up here if you dare!" Zhu Huihui challenged Feng Xuese in her heart. This old man always climbs trees to show off; that bear-like idiot couldn't possibly climb that high!
Feng Xuese wasn't as bored as him; he simply smiled and asked, "Five sworn brothers, what business do you have with me, Feng?"
He didn't seem to care at all about almost being knocked into the house by five giants. He kept smiling and, afraid that the five bums wouldn't understand, tried to avoid using any fancy words.
Boss Ba said in a gruff voice, "Here, take your head! Hurry up and cut it off yourself, don't waste our time!"
Zhu Huihui was trying to suppress her laughter in the grass until her stomach hurt. This big guy was really something else!
Feng Xuese feigned curiosity and asked, "I wonder what use the five of you have for my head?"
Ba Lao Er honestly said, "That woman said that only by taking your head back can we exchange it for the Ink Horn Qilin Slices and the Thousand-Year Snow Ginseng King for Master to eat."
Mojiao Qilin tablets and Millennium Snow Ginseng King are sacred medicines for treating internal and external injuries. The former is produced in the southernmost sea area, and the latter is produced on the top of Kunlun Mountain. Both are rare and grow in remote and dangerous places, so they have always been extremely valuable.
Although these five scoundrels were unruly, they were very filial to their master. Feng Xuese felt a little fondness for them. After a moment's thought, she asked, "Who injured Master Huizhi?" At the same time, she wondered: It was a woman who wanted to kill him? What kind of woman was she? Had she offended any woman recently?
Ba Laosan asked in surprise, "How do you know Master is injured? You must have hurt Master!" After saying that, he picked up the big pestle and smashed it against the tree where Feng Xuese stood.
The hemlock was as thick as two people could hug. Even with his brute strength, Ba Laosan couldn't break it in one fell swoop. With a "crack," the tree shook violently, but Feng Xuese remained motionless, as if stuck to the branches.
Ba Laosan was furious and, holding the big pestle, struck it several more times. Ba Laosi also rushed over to help. The two brothers took turns striking it with the pestle, but even the thickest tree couldn't hold on any longer. Finally, with a "crack," it fell to the side.
Amidst the fluttering leaves, Maple Snow Lightly moved and landed on another, thicker tree, her clothes fluttering gracefully.
Buffett was furious and rushed forward to smash it again.
Feng Xuese sighed helplessly and raised her voice, "Master Huizhi is my old friend, how could I possibly hurt him!"
Of the five scoundrels, Ba Laowu was the most astute. He tilted his head back, looking quite shrewd, and asked, "You said you're a friend of Master's?"
Feng Xuese replied, "Exactly!"
Several years ago, he had a brief encounter with Master Huizhi at Mount Lu in Jiangxi. Both of them were invited by Daoist Qinglin of Xiulu Temple on Mount Lu to make a special trip to taste the finest cloud-like mist produced by the sacred tree in the backyard of Xiulu Temple. They had a very pleasant conversation and thus became friends.
However, Ba Laowu said, "Never heard of it!"
Zhu Huihui, with the iron pot on his head, squatted in the grass, already overjoyed. It was rare to find someone unafraid of the old man and willing to humiliate him!
