Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter-Chapter 128 - 93: Heaven’s Eye Sees Petty Affairs, Hearts Conceal Red Dust Schemes
Brother Xiong’s face changed as he said, "Don’t talk nonsense, how could I be bragging?"
After saying this, he paused for a moment and said, "I’ll give it a try."
The two of them met briefly and then swiftly parted ways...
Not far away, a White Sparrow flapped its wings and flew away from the eaves.
...
That night, Li Yuan held the "Life Record of the Soul-Throwing Technique" with "Form Without Soul" in his arms, studying it repeatedly on a rocking chair.
He tried everything, even using "Brother Dog’s method of understanding the Supreme Profound Scripture" from his previous life, but those aimless lines weren’t the flow of qi and blood at all.
Chaotic and irregular, without a trace of order.
After a long while, the young man put down the book.
Outside the door, the sounds of training could still be heard. Three children were practicing martial arts.
However, Xiaosheng and Niuniu were no longer practicing the Willow Return Technique, but the introductory cultivation skill of the Blood Saber Sect.
Niannian was practicing her father Old Tang’s cultivation skill.
Li Yuan actually asked about Old Tang’s skill and realized Old Tang was on the Puppet path.
He consulted Old Tang, and Old Tang taught him too.
As a result, Li Yuan understood everything Old Tang taught, but just understood it.
Li Yuan spent quite a bit of time studying it, hoping to grasp the basics, but the Puppet Dharma Gate clearly leaned towards mathematics and demanded precision. To grasp the basics, one not only had to practice but also solve problems.
Li Yuan solved problems for a few days, only to feel dizzy, as if he was back in the sea of questions during his high school evening self-study.
Then he temporarily gave up.
Suddenly, there were extra footsteps outside the door. A petite, graceful woman opened the door with a smile, saying, "Husband, it’s dinner time."
Li Yuan beckoned her over.
Lady Yan leaned in, only to be pulled into his embrace by Li Yuan.
Lady Yan’s delicate body warmed up as she softly said, "The children are still outside."
Li Yuan waved his hand, and the powerful qi closed the door.
Lady Yan lifted her long dress and straddled as if mounting a horse, swaying with the rocking chair...
This posture could only be done by her; if it were the proprietress, it would be discordant.
Moments later...
"Satisfied now?
Happy now?
My dear husband."
The beautiful woman’s face was flushed like peach blossoms, like the evening glow, unclear if it was out of shyness or fatigue, then she teased, "Let’s see how you handle tonight."
Li Yuan pulled her down, making her fall onto him, then suddenly said, "In the next couple of days, if Feng’Er looks for you, bring her to the Inner City and let her stay in the guest room for a night. Don’t let anyone know."
Lady Yan’s charming face showed surprise as she softly said, "I’ve already severed ties with her. If she comes as a refugee to get porridge, I’ll call out to her, but if privately... I..."
Li Yuan softly told her what he knew and the plans afterward.
Lady Yan listened in a daze, her beautiful eyes gradually widening. She suddenly sat upright, looking at her husband in shock, "How do you know everything? You didn’t even leave the house today, right?"
Li Yuan pulled her back, whispered in her ear, "Your husband is in Unity of Heaven and Man, having opened the Celestial Eye."
"Where, where..." Lady Yan supported herself on his chest, playfully touching his forehead.
Opening the Celestial Eye usually meant opening a third eye above the brows...
After touching for a while, Lady Yan giggled, "Bragging."
Then she dismounted, saying, "I’ll take care of it."
Li Yuan laughed, "The bandits are about to attack the city, how can you still laugh?"
Lady Yan leaned in and softly said, "Isn’t it because... my husband is the Blood Saber Ancestor?"
With that, she gestured a chopping motion with both hands, saying sternly, "Anyone who comes gets killed, anyone who pairs gets killed, rivers of blood, protect a region!"
Li Yuan muttered to himself, "I’m not doing it to protect a region."
Lady Yan laughed, "It’s all the same!"
...
...
The fourth day, nothing happened.
The fifth day, Feng’Er came to Hengwu Restaurant with a sheepish face, saying she was looking for Eldest Granny Yan, and Yan Yu happened to be in, so she went directly downstairs.
Feng’Er’s cheeks turned red, not daring to look at her.
She thought Yan Yu would ignore her too.
But she was wrong. Yan Yu took her hand, seated her at the table, and the two talked for quite a while, about the past.
Feng’Er felt as if she were in a dream.
And this beautiful dream was not yet over; in the evening, Yan Yu directly took her to visit the Inner City.
Feng’Er originally thought of going home to tell Brother Xiong "they would never take her to the Inner City," but now she had reached her goal without even speaking.
On the carriage...
Feng’Er suddenly said, "Sister Yan, I will never, ever harm you again!
I... I was really wrong."
In the darkness, Lady Yan looked at her with a complex expression.
The late wind blew open the carriage curtain, light fell inside, illuminating Lady Yan’s face, while Feng’Er remained entirely immersed in darkness.
They both smiled, looking at each other.
Lady Yan held her hand, finally whispering, "I forgive you."
At this moment, Feng’Er felt her divine soul shake, and all she saw was light. The layered grievances in her heart seemed to have fallen into a trace of pure brightness.
She opened her mouth, with red eyes, and swore solemnly, "Whether I live or die, whether in this life, the next life, or the life after, I... will never harm you again."
Lady Yan smiled slightly and said, "I believe you."
...
That night, Feng’Er met Li Yuan, but Li Yuan ignored her, and so did everyone else. Only Yan Yu talked with her, picked dishes for her, and later... arranged a room for her to stay in a warm suite.
But for Feng’Er, this was already enough.
Actually, Brother Xiong had her come to gather information, but Feng’Er didn’t want to do that. She planned to say she had gathered information when she returned the next day, but found nothing.
In the middle of the night...
A cold wind suddenly blew into the suite, waking Feng’Er. She shivered as she got up to close the window, suddenly hearing the sound of conversation not far outside, a voice so soft it was just audible to her.
Vaguely, Feng’Er only heard phrases like "Blood Saber Ancestor in seclusion in Inner City, no one should disturb," "need to test the saber with blood..."
Feng’Er dared not move, and the voices outside soon silenced. Only then did she quietly close the window, unable to calm down for a long time.
Brother Xiong wanted her to inquire about the Blood Saber Ancestor, and she... had actually heard it.
Feng’Er looked at the ceiling, frowned in thought.
...
The sixth day, morning.
Lady Yan took Feng’Er to have breakfast, then brought Feng’Er back to Silver Creek.
As soon as Feng’Er arrived home, Brother Xiong anxiously grabbed her and asked, "Did you find out anything?"
Feng’Er sighed softly, then recounted how she went out secretly the previous night and overheard a conversation somewhere, vaguely saying "Blood Saber Ancestor in seclusion in Inner City, no one should disturb," "need to test the saber with blood..."
That afternoon, Brother Xiong, under the pretense of meeting the Great Shang, bought a fast horse and left Silver Creek with Feng’Er, exiting Shanbao County from the North City Gate of Wutong Square.
In the sky, a White Sparrow flew, following the two from on high...
After following for a night and half a day, it finally came to a deserted mountain.
The mountain path climbed, revealing a simple mountain gate standing in the wind, with a banner inscribed with the words "Qing Xiang."
The White Sparrow circled twice, not entering, but perched on a high tree branch, hidden among the evergreen leaves, silently observing.
And then...
The White Sparrow saw a man in armor. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
It saw everyone pay respects to the man, addressing him as "General Qing Xiang."
The White Sparrow’s eyes reflected the data beside General Qing Xiang: 220~240.
...
In the warm room, a young man opened his eyes, murmuring, "Actually 5 points higher in overall strength than Sect Leader Tie, not bad, not bad."
He then let out a breath of relief.
His heart... was at peace.
Since he could slay one General Qing Xiang with a single stroke, General Qing Xiang was not to be feared.
Moreover, with this news, General Qing Xiang likely wouldn’t attack Shanbao County again.
...
Meanwhile, in the mountain, in a room, lights blazed, and wine was flowing, with shrill sounds coming from inside...
Brother Xiong, arms around shoulders, said to the surrounding mountain bandits, "I keep my word, right? Women are like clothes, brothers are like limbs. I said I’d bring her back for you to play with, and I did, hahaha."
"Brother Xiong is righteous!"
"No, can’t call him Brother Xiong anymore, Centurion, Centurion is righteous, haha!"
One inappropriate mountain bandit said, "Brother Xiong, are you really letting go of your wife?"
Brother Xiong sneered, "Pah! I already found out, once I’m outside, this slut fools around. I’ll have plenty of wives later, no need for this one."
In the room, laughter intertwined with wretched cries of resentment, but this... was routine for the bandits.
