Hu Yan straightened her slender waist, perfectly showcasing her enviable figure.
"Strong man, brave man! She's a vixen! We can't beat her! Let's run!" Master Zhang whispered behind Lin Qing.
"You didn't run away? That's unexpected!" Lin Qing was somewhat surprised; he had thought that Master Zhang would leave immediately.
Master Zhang smiled bitterly and said, "I know I can't escape. Besides, I trained these hundred-plus people. I can't just watch them die."
"Come on, young master, a moment of pleasure on this spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold!"
Chapter 485 Hu Xiaoxue (Please subscribe, vote for monthly tickets, and recommend this book)
Lin Qing just stared at Hu Yan, who was striking poses, without the slightest emotion. Clearly, he had no interest in Hu Yan whatsoever.
Just as Lin Qing was about to kill Hu Yan, suddenly, a girl who had been unconscious got up from the ground.
The girl looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old. She was dressed in a snow-white dress, with her hair tied up, and her face was incredibly delicate.
Before the person even arrived, a fragrant aroma wafted over. The girl looked anxious and cried out, "Third sister, third sister, please let them go! We can't do such wicked things!"
"Hmm? A vixen?" Lin Qing abandoned his intention to attack and carefully examined the girl.
Previously, he had only briefly scanned the person lying on the ground with his divine sense. He thought the girl was just an unconscious human, but he never expected her to be a fox spirit.
"Little sister, why did you wake up so quickly? Get out of my way! I'm avenging Father and the others!" Hu Yan scolded.
"Third sister, Father and Mother taught us from a young age that we must not kill innocent people indiscriminately, so that we can attain immortality. Besides, Father and the others have already avenged themselves."
“Third Sister killed all the hunters near the mountain, isn’t that enough?” Hu Xiaoxue cried, her face streaked with tears.
"Hmph, if my father and I rely on the essence of the sun and moon to cultivate every day, when will we ever become immortals?"
"Eating just one person is equivalent to a month of my cultivation. In a few decades, I can become an immortal." Hu Yan dotes on his younger sister, but the most important thing is still his cultivation.
His entire family is dead, leaving only his little sister. To protect her, he has no choice but to become stronger, and eating people and sucking their flesh is the fastest shortcut.
Hu Yan raised her sharp claws high, ready to attack, when suddenly, a white figure blocked her way.
"Third sister, I won't let you continue like this, otherwise you will die sooner or later. Even if you are not destroyed by humans, you will die from the heavenly tribulation."
"Haha, you? Little sister, don't you know you have no magic power at all? With your small body, you can only kill a tiger."
Though she spoke sarcastic words, a hint of heartache flashed in Hu Yan's eyes.
Hu Xiaoxue, Hu Yan's younger sister, is the youngest in the family. She is only fifteen years old. When she was just one year old, she fell off a cliff because she was playing.
Fortunately, it landed on an old tree on the cliff face, next to which grew a rare transforming grass.
The Transformation Grass is very attractive to any animal. Unaware of its allure, she was drawn in by the scent emanating from it and swallowed it whole.
And so she took human form, but for some reason, she was unable to cultivate any magic, and was only physically strong.
On the day their fox clan was wiped out, Hu Xiaoxue fought against the hunters to protect her family.
Unexpectedly, one of the hunters was a Qi cultivator, who was severely injured and escaped.
She went to find her third sister, but when she and her third sister arrived, all they saw was a pool of blood.
Finally, Hu Yan killed all the hunters in the vicinity of the mountain, hoping to find the bodies of her parents, siblings and other relatives, but all she found was the fox fur coat worn by Master Zhang.
"This guy sent people to kill my whole family. You saw how horribly they died. Why are you still trying to stop me?" Hu Yan seemed to have gone mad for some reason.
“I did not send anyone to hunt down your family. That fox fur coat was sold to me by a hunter when I was passing by,” Master Zhang suddenly said.
"Hmph, humans, selfish, cruel, bloodthirsty, cowardly, lustful ghosts. No matter what, I'm going to kill your whole family, and these people are doomed too."
Hu Yan grabbed Hu Xiaoxue's arm and yanked her away, sending Hu Xiaoxue crashing into a large tree in the distance.
Before she could even land, a long, cyan rope made of energy bound her firmly to the tree.
"Third sister, third sister, let me go, please, don't make any more mistakes. Our enemies are all dead. Let's go back to the mountains together and cultivate diligently. One day we can attain immortality and save Father and the others."
Hu Yan ignored her and looked at Lin Qing with an unusually cold expression. However, even so, Master Zhang's eyes showed a look of infatuation.
"Illusion? Heh, a mere trifle." Lin Qing said softly, then suddenly stretched out his right hand and gently pinched the air.
"Ugh..."
Hu Yan, standing some distance away, blushed crimson, flailing her arms wildly and struggling with her legs as if an invisible thug were choking her.
"Ah, what just happened to me?" The illusion was broken, and Master Zhang instantly woke up, saying in a somewhat panicked manner.
"What else could have happened? You were under her illusion spell, but it's been broken, and I've already captured her," Lin Qing said, pointing at Hu Yan who was still struggling.
"Ah, this strong man—no, this immortal master—truly possesses boundless magical power! He can destroy this little fox spirit with a wave of his hand. Then hurry up and kill her!" Master Zhang was overjoyed.
Now all is well, a huge weight has been lifted off his shoulders, and his family is no longer under threat.
"No, no, Immortal Master, please spare my third sister, please spare her!" Because the spellcaster Hu Yan was captured, the spell failed, allowing Hu Xiaoxue to escape.
Hu Xiaoxue ran straight to her third sister, wanting to save her, but she didn't know where to start and was anxiously pacing around.
"Thump." Hu Xiaoxue fell down directly, pitifully begging Lin Qing for mercy once again:
"Immortal Master, please have mercy and spare my sister's life, for she did this to avenge her family."
Lin Qing said with a hint of amusement, "You make it sound so easy. I can understand her killing for revenge, but why would she kill innocent people? Look at the people lying in pools of blood."
“Which of them didn’t have a family? Their whole family depended on him as their pillar of support. Now, more than a dozen of those pillars have been killed by your sister. You want me to let her off the hook?”
“Yes, we can’t let her go. Kill her, and kill this little vixen too, so she won’t go out and harm people again,” Master Zhang said fiercely from the side.
"Are you teaching me how to do things?" Lin Qing stared coldly at Zhang Yuanwai.
Master Zhang said with a forced smile, "Ah, I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare."
"Then shut up." Lin Qing hated this kind of guy the most, but he didn't sense any sin from Master Zhang, otherwise, why would he come to save him?
"This little demon is willing to become the Immortal Master's servant and will never betray him. Whether I live or die is entirely up to the Immortal Master. I only ask that my third sister be spared."
Chapter 486 Although it hurt a bit (Please subscribe, please vote for monthly tickets, please recommend)
"I kowtow to the Immortal Master!"
"Thump, thump, thump!" Hu Xiaoxue's head slammed heavily onto the ground. Although it was a dirt road, it was mixed with some small stones and other hard objects.
After only a few kowtows, Hu Xiaoxue's forehead was already a bloody mess, but she still gritted her teeth and continued to kowtow.
"Huh? Is that Fahai?" Lin Qing suddenly spotted a large monk flying towards them from several miles away.
Looking at that familiar face, I knew without a doubt that it was Fahai.
"Killing her would be too easy on her. Let her experience the teachings of Fahai!" Lin Qing thought to himself.
Incidentally, he also felt sorry for Hu Xiaoxue, so he decided to take it out of consideration for her bloodied and mangled appearance. In any case, Fahai might just kill Hu Yan anyway.
As for Hu Xiaoxue, Lin Qing doesn't need to worry. Even he wouldn't be able to tell that Hu Xiaoxue is a monster unless he looks closely, let alone Fahai.
"Hmph, I'll let you go this time. But if I find you causing havoc in the world again, I'll make sure you never reincarnate," Lin Qing said slowly.
"Ah, thank you, thank you, Immortal Master, thank you, Immortal Master." Hu Xiaoxue didn't even bother to wipe the blood from her head, and ran straight to Hu Yan's side, helping her up.
After a short while, Hu Yan recovered. Looking at Lin Qing who had already left, she was very frightened, but when she looked at Hu Xiaoxue, her eyes were full of heartache.
"Does it hurt? You're so silly. What if he doesn't let me go? Wouldn't all your kowtowing have been for nothing?"
Hu Xiaoxue pleaded, "It doesn't hurt, Third Sister. Let's go back to the mountains, okay? Don't come out here and hurt people anymore."
"I'll see!" Hu Yan thought for a while, but ultimately couldn't agree.
"Little sister, although those men have all been taken away by that guy, the dozen or so people on the ground have only been dead for less than half an hour."
“You can absorb their essence and blood to heal your injuries. Since you can’t cultivate, you might be able to gain magical power this way,” Hu Yan said, pointing to the corpses.
"How dare you, a mere fox demon, commit such a heinous act! Behold my golden alms bowl!" Fahai flew through the air, holding a golden alms bowl upside down in his right hand.
A dazzling golden light emanated from the golden bowl, and before Hu Yan could react, he was directly absorbed into Fahai's golden bowl.
"Amitabha Buddha, female benefactor, are you alright? Don't worry, I have already subdued this harmful fox demon." Fahai put away his magic weapon and slowly descended.
"Ah, let go of my third sister! Let go of my third sister!" Hu Xiaoxue immediately realized what was happening and shouted, throwing a punch at Fahai at the same time.
"Female benefactor, are you still under an illusion spell? Don't worry, I'll help you break it right away."
Only when Fahai held the tail of his staff did he strike Hu Xiaoxue directly on the forehead.
"Ah!" Hu Xiaoxue's wound was hit hard, and as you can imagine, she screamed, covered her head, and squatted down on the ground, tears streaming down her face.
“Amitabha Buddha, female benefactor, although it hurts a bit, the illusion has been dispelled. You are all alone in this desolate wilderness, surrounded by so many corpses.”
“How about this, you follow my cassock into Qiantang County, and I will perform another rite of passage for them.” Before Hu Xiaoxue could object, a bright red cassock flew out.
It wrapped Hu Xiaoxue up directly and then quickly flew towards Qiantang County.
“Amitabha Buddha, well said, benefactors, the fox demon who harmed your lives has been subdued by this old monk. Once we return to Jinshan Temple, we will suppress her until her sins are absolved.”
"Now, let this old monk perform the rites for you!" Fahai didn't mind the mess on the ground, and sat cross-legged to begin chanting the scriptures.
Half an hour later, in the largest restaurant in Qiantang County, Lin Qing was sitting in a window seat on the second floor.
The table of food had been completely eaten up, and just as Lin Qing was about to order another table,
The sound of hurried footsteps came from the stairs, and soon a plump person dressed in gorgeous clothes ran up from below.
"Immortal Master, is the food to your liking?" This person was none other than Master Zhang, who had rushed over after settling the more than one hundred people.
"It's alright, but this roast goose would taste even better with some chili sauce," Lin Qing said casually.
"Waiter, tidy up the table and then bring me another table."
"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and tidy up. Hey, Manager Wang, bring over my treasured wine." Master Zhang hurriedly ordered the people beside him.
"Okay, boss."
Lin Qing quickly waved her hand to stop her, saying, "No need, I don't drink. Just bring me the food. You should eat some too, your stomach is growling."
Master Zhang was flattered and sat down on the left: "It is my honor to dine with the immortal master. Manager Wang, bring me a set of bowls and chopsticks."
"Alright, boss, coming right away," Manager Wang replied hastily.
Before long, a table full of delicious food was served. It was obvious that all the chefs in the restaurant had been mobilized to prepare it so quickly.
