Netherworld Chapter 78: The Only Life Pulse (5)
There are people who kidnap brides, rob people, and steal candy wrappers, but I have never heard of anyone stealing snakes.
After all, I hatched Master Jiao, how dare he snatch it from me! Well, what if he really pounces on me...
The old woman took a step towards me and said with a smile: Eat first, I think you are hungry.
I nodded, and Senior Brother Du took a closer look at my pocket, then his expression returned to calm.
After all the dishes were brought out, he took a few and placed them on a plate before the little beauty, feeding her with chopsticks. The old woman took a few bites and then laughed: "Those guys are thoughtful. These are all her favorites." "Brother Du, don't spoil her all the time. Sit down and eat first. I'll feed her."
You have just recovered from a serious illness and your body is weak, so let me do it. Senior Brother Du put a piece of braised pork into the little beauty's mouth and said: I haven't seen Fanran for a few days. From now on, she will follow... Oh, I won't say it anymore. I get so angry when I mention it.
The little beauty said as she ate: "Uncle Du, don't worry, I'll be back in a few days. Humph, it's not that easy to control me! Mmm, this meat is so delicious. I haven't eaten it for several days. I'm so greedy, that old bastard!"
The little beauty was cursing, and I was listening to her, feeling uncomfortable. Moreover, although the old Taoist priest always looked cold, he was indeed a warm-hearted person. No matter from which aspect, he really wanted to teach the little beauty well. Otherwise, after returning from Mingzhu Pearl Peak, he would not have dragged his injured body to the Wei family to save people, and he would not have followed the old woman to Dushengmai because of a word.
Although he didn't tell anyone, I followed him all the time and knew how badly he was injured on Mount Everest. He looked energetic now, but he was just holding on.
I don't know how the four families fought at Mount Everest. Now I really regret not taking advantage of the chaos to snatch an immortal fruit. After all, it is a legendary thing. Maybe I can really become an immortal immediately after eating it. But now even the myths of immortals are no longer circulated, and I don't know where I will go if I really ascend.
Ascension is a distant term, too vague, and perhaps it is just made up by later generations.
In my opinion, people are just people, no matter how powerful they are, so where are they going? These days, if you don't have the aviation bureau to issue you a ticket, just try to fly around randomly, and you will be shot or hit by a missile.
Just as I was daydreaming, half of a head suddenly popped out from outside. It was a young man.
He first chuckled at the old woman, then waved to Brother Du, signaling him to come out.
If you have something to say, say it. If you have nothing to say, just fart. If you have nothing to say, get out of here! Brother Du said.
"Okay, okay, come in and talk if you have something to say. You are not an outsider," the old woman said with a smile .
The man walked in with a chuckle and nodded. He was a little surprised to see me sitting next to the old woman eating.
What's the matter? Brother Du asked.
Uh, oh... the man withdrew his gaze from me and said: Junior Brother Du found a strange thing in Liukong Mountain seven miles away. He said it was very similar to the thing that Uncle Zhou brought back, so he asked me to come back and call people.
Oh? Senior Brother Du was very surprised. He put his bowl and chopsticks on the table and grabbed him: Are you telling the truth?
Of course, I wouldn't dare to lie to you, the man said.
Liukong Mountain...what was he doing there? Senior Brother Du asked.
My junior brother said that Fan Ran liked the wild fruits in Liukong Mountain. It happened to be the season when the fruits were ripe, so he took a few of us to pick them, and we found that one. However, I found that there were other people there, and they had bad intentions. I was afraid that there would be trouble, so I hurried back.
Hmm? Why didn't you say so earlier! Senior Brother Du pushed the young man in a rage, and hurried out with his sleeves swung: If Cheng Yi gets into trouble, wait for me to deal with you!
I was watching from the side and couldn't help but ask quietly: Cheng Yi is...
He is the son of Senior Brother Du. His mother died during childbirth. Senior Brother Du was deeply in love with his mother and did not want to remarry. Therefore, he has always been very precious to his only son. The old woman explained: However, he is also very good to our Fanran and treats Fanran as his own daughter. I was a little harsh in my words before, don't take it to heart.
I smiled at the old lady: It’s nothing, I’m very generous, haha.
What are you laughing at? The young man suddenly shouted at me.
I looked at him in surprise. Isn't this just looking for trouble?
Still watching! I've heard from people that Fan Ran suffered a lot of injustice in the Five Elements Meridian, and you took advantage of the power of others to help that old guy...
Who are you calling a dog? I slammed the table and stood up in anger.
Whoever is on top is the boss. The young man raised his nose to the sky and said, "If it weren't for the pressure from the head master, I would have dealt with both of you long ago."
You don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is. It's because of people like you that the Du Sheng Clan is getting worse and worse! I slammed the table and said loudly: Forget about dealing with the old Taoist priest. You can't deal with me alone. Don't make a fuss about the people all day long. The sky is the boss and you are the second. At most, you are just the second.
"Okay, okay, why are you quarreling for no reason? Harmony is the most precious thing, harmony is the most precious thing," the old woman advised.
Mom! Don't worry about this. I've been fed up with this guy for a long time. He has no skills, but he pretends to be so powerful. If he hadn't followed that old man, he would have...
What old man! That's your uncle! When I mentioned this, I got even angrier and yelled at the little beauty: If it weren't for your aunt, do you think anyone would be willing to take you with them? What would they do with you? Can you cook or wash clothes? Don't think you've learned some Taoist skills, to put it bluntly, it's a small Taoist! Do you know what a small Taoist is? It's something that even a half-baked person like me can't beat!
You...the little beauty glared angrily.
If you have the ability, go out and practice. I want to see how powerful your rope is. It’s still a small trick. Today... the young man next to me rolled up his sleeves and came up to pull me.
All right! The old woman suddenly said sternly: Get out! Do you think I can’t do anything just because I’ve been lying there for decades? Get out!
The young man had a gloomy face. He looked at me with hatred and said: If you have the ability, follow me. If you don’t, just stay in the room and don’t move. If you dare to come out, I will kill you!
Get out! The old woman slammed the table.
It was the first time I saw her get so angry. The little beauty seemed to be frightened and stopped talking. Although the young man was a little surprised the old woman's temper, he still smiled at me, apologized to the old woman and turned away.
What he said just now made me so angry that my lungs almost exploded. Just like the old Taoist priest said, I have even made it through a dangerous place like Mount Everest, so what is this tiny place like Du Sheng Mai?
My forehead was flushed with blood, and I raised my legs and took a step, ready to go out. The old woman grabbed me and asked: What are you going to do?
Get out! If I don't go after what he said...
Young people can only joke with each other. They are used to being arrogant at home and rarely go out, so their personalities are a little strange, but they don't have any bad intentions. You can eat here. I am here, and no one dares to touch you! The old woman said.
I appreciate your kindness, but the old Taoist priest is talking to Du Shengmai to make plans for his future. This is his kindness, and I can't let him take advantage of me! What's more, I have no grudges against Du Shengmai, but I am always targeted by the old Taoist priest just because I am with him. I can't stand this.
You are so arrogant, as if you are really awesome. The pretty girl interrupted.
I was so angry that I calmed down instead. I felt my whole mind was refreshed. I walked to the front of the little beauty and stared into her beautiful eyes: Auntie is here today, so forget about what you said. But I tell you, the old Taoist is your uncle, not your biological uncle, but he will definitely treat you better than you so-called uncles! He almost died on Mount Everest, and the first thing he did when he came out was to save you two. He didn't want to tell you because he was a stone, but I'm not! I have a warm heart, but I don't have his ability. And I also want to tell you that if Auntie doesn't say anything, you will follow him. If you listen to people's advice, change your bad temper, don't think you are a princess wherever you go, as if everyone likes you.
The words were a little harsh, and the little beauty was so angry that her face turned red. Before she could speak, I walked by. I didn't dare to look at the old woman's face, because I knew what I said was not very nice. The old woman was a very nice person, but I always felt guilty when I said that to her daughter in person.
This time, the old woman didn't stop me. She just sighed softly: "Young people are full of energy. Everyone has it. I know I can't stop you, but don't do it unless it's absolutely necessary."
Okay, got it. I replied and walked out the door.
Outside, there were already three young men waiting.
When they saw me come out, they looked at each other and laughed: Wow, you are quite brave to come out alone. I thought you were planning to stay in there for the rest of your life.
I glanced at them with disdain.
Who are you calling a brat? A young man came up angrily.
All of you, what's up, you want to fight? Come up and try, I can't beat you three alone, but whoever comes first I'll beat. I'll lie down, you lie down too, and beat me to death. I stared at him and said: If you don't believe me, come over here.
The man hesitated, and the man next to him said: "What's the point of fighting with the barbarians? We are all practitioners, so we will naturally solve the problem with Taoism. Aren't you from the Eight Ropes lineage? You are praised as such every day, but you are not even as good as us. If you have the ability, let's fight with Taoism. Last time in the old forest, if there was no light shield that suddenly appeared, I would have tied you both to death."
I laughed: If you didn't mention this, I really thought you were very capable. Forget it, with your limited vision, you can only see your own small piece of land. Do you know how big the outside world is? I just mentioned a place or a thing, have you heard of it? You have no knowledge at all, just like a bumpkin, what are you pretending to be capable of?
This was meant to piss them off. I had figured it out before I came out. If I went out, there would be no way to resolve the situation peacefully. So I had to either bring out the old Taoist priest to resolve the problem, or I could resolve it myself. The old Taoist priest's way of resolving the problem was just one word: fight!
Whoever disobeys will be beaten until he obeys!
