Dao of the Bizarre Immortal-Chapter 398 - Half-Immortal

Eighty percent commission?! That's double my current commission! Lu Xiucai exclaimed inwardly, and he even started drooling from greed at Sir Kui's proposal. freewebn(o)vel.com

However, he calmed down quickly. After all, he had seen a fair share of evil beings from his travels with Li Huowang. He knew that there were weak and evil beings. Li Huowang had told him that the bronze coins could cut down evil beings, but Lu Xiucai had never tried it before.

Sir Kui sighed with disappointment upon seeing Lu Xiucai's conflicted expression.

“It’s okay. I'm not going to force you. It's not something an ordinary person can resolve, anyway,” Sir Kui said.

Sir Kui's words made Lu Xiucai feel insulted, and his brain came to a screeching halt as he immediately exclaimed, “Shit! I'm going to do it! It’s either I die, or that evil being will die. Do you really think I’m afraid of evil beings?

"If Li Huowang can do it, I can do it, too!”

Lu Xiucai was still confident in his chances of escaping, and it was all thanks to the bronze coins.

“All right! I knew you were an amazing guy! Here, let me toast you!” Sir Kui exclaimed.

However, Lu Xiucai placed his cup on the table and copied what he had seen in a book. “Don’t worry about the wine, Sir Kui. Allow me to savor it with you slowly once I've dealt with that evil being!"

Sir Kui grinned at Lu Xiucai's confidence, and he even gave a thumbs-up!

Lu Xiucai savored every moment. He truly didn't expect to one day experience what Li Huowang himself had gone through.

“All right, then. Let’s go,” Sir Kui said.

Lu Xiucai's confidence seemed to have vanished once he was inside the carriage. He felt anxious as he kept trying to recall what Li Huowang had done when they stumbled upon evil beings during their travels.

The cogs in Li Xiucai's brain desperately, but he couldn't remember anything relevant at all. After all, he had always been the first one to run and hide every time there was danger. If there was nowhere to hide, he would hide under the carriage, not daring to take even a peek until the danger had passed.

Lu Xiucai lampooned his past self when the carriage finally stopped.

Lu Xiucai looked around and saw that they were out of the city.

They were in a small town, but the utterly bizarre part was that every single house had no light. Lu Xiucai had no idea where he was, but he knew instinctively that this small town was most likely somewhere near Yinling City.

A massive mansion stood before them, and the size of the mansion alone made it clear that the owner wasn't an ordinary Tom, Dick, and Harry.

“Sir Lu, follow me. My friend is inside,” said Sir Kui before knocking on the mansion's door.

A creaking noise echoed as the door was opened by an old man carrying a lantern.

Upon seeing Sir Kui's face, the old man quickly ushered in the two. The old man's frantic manner seemed as if he were afraid that something strange would follow them inside.

“Sanjin, he is...?”

“Uncle Fang, don’t worry. He's one of my sworn brothers, and he’s a Daoist!”

The old man cast a puzzled gaze at Lu Xiucai puzzlingly.

Lu Xiucai put on a cold facade, copying Li Huowang's demeanor.

“Sanjin!” someone shouted.

Lu Xiucai turned around and saw a group of people walking toward them.

A large-framed muscular man stood at the center of the group. He was wearing a silk brocade, and prayer beads were hanging on his neck. However, his bulging muscles made him look incompatible with his clothes.

The others weren’t anywhere better, either. They all looked fierce and ruthless. If it hadn't been for the other houses near the mansion, Lu Xiucai would have thought that he had entered a bandit’s den.

Kui Sanjin bowed slightly toward them and greeted the large-framed muscular man earnestly.

Lu Xiucai noticed that something was off. Who are they to Sir Kui? Why do I feel that they're not the type of people to establish legal businesses?

Lu Xiucai regretted coming here. To make matters worse, he was in a foreign place, and it was pitch-black outside.

Soon, Kui Sanjin introduced Lu Xiucai to the large-framed, muscular man.

“Sir Lu, he's Sir Zhao. His son was the one who got possessed,” Kui Sanjin said.

Lu Xiucai stared deeply at the large-framed muscular man with a fierce demeanor. He was about to say something when Sir Zhao grabbed Lu Xiucai’s hands and exclaimed, “You must be half-Immortal Lu Xiucai! Please save my son! He’s the sole successor of my family!”

“Yes, yes, we can take our time discussing what happened,” Lu Xiucai said, smiling. He truly loved seeing someone beg him for help, as it made him feel incredibly important.

“Half-Immortal Lu, we can't take our time. Please follow us! My son can’t last any longer,” Zhao Tianhu said, pulling Lu Xiucai into the depths of the mansion.

The mansion was large. Lu Xiucai felt dizzy from the amount of turns they were taking to go somewhere.

Shit! I’m going to buy a mansion this large next time! Just as the thought crossed Lu Xiucai's mind, he was pulled right in front of a room. There were no lamps inside the room, and it seemed as if there wasn't anyone inside.

“Half-Immortal Lu, my son is inside! Save him, and I will do anything!” Zhao Tianhu exclaimed.

Lu Xiucai listened carefully but heard nothing.

“Sir Zhao, are you sure your son is inside by himself?” Lu Xiucai asked.

“Yes. he has already killed the two servants we sent inside!” Zhao Tianhu replied.

Then, Zhao Tianhu and his people pushed Lu Xiucai into the room.

“Sir Zhao, stop being so pushy. You have to tell me what kind of evil being is inside first! Is it strong? Is it a male, or is it a female?”

Lu Xiucai was pushed into the room, and the door was immediately slammed shut.

“Don’t close the door! What are you guys doing?! I'm not going to run away, so open the door!” Lu Xiucai exclaimed, banging on the door. However, he received no response.

Dekdekdekdekdekdekdek~

An eerie peal of laughter echoed, making Lu Xiucai flinch as goosebumps broke out all over him. He turned around, revealing the five bronze coins in his hand. However, Lu Xiucai was already trembling from fear. Something was jumping around in the dark room, but it was so dark that Lu Xiucai couldn't see it.

Unfortunately, there was no going back. Lu Xiucai mustered his courage and shouted, “Stupid evil being! You're nothing before me! My master is Li Huowang! Touch me, and you are as good as dead!”

Lu Xiucai’s threat echoed throughout the room, and he felt somewhat braver when the room went silent.

Heh, this is easy. Lu Xiucai gnashed his teeth and walked toward the middle of the room. Lu Xiucai groped around and realized that he was in a bedroom. However, he failed to find Zhao Tianhu's son.

No, it’s too dark. I need a lamp. Lu Xiucai moved toward the table and saw a flint placed conveniently near the lamp.

Sparks flew as Lu Xiucai struck the flint. A spark made contact with the lamp's wick, igniting it.

As soon as the darkness was vanquished, Lu Xiucai saw a pale and thin face staring at him blankly on the other side of the room.

“AAAAAAHHH!”
