Chapter 91: The Man Hurt by Love (Extra update for Alliance Leader Sui Muhan)

I am so stupid!

Under the moonlight, with a kitchen knife held to her neck and listening to an endless stream of sweet nothings, Jiang Qingqin was teary-eyed. I am so stupid, really; I shouldn't have been attracted by that expert in Thunder Technique and come into the woods to investigate!

Should I not have rushed out to uphold justice just because I saw someone whispering sweet nothings to a fox?

How could any Demon still exist in a place where an expert in Thunder Technique has passed through?

I am so stupid!

Really!

If I weren't stupid, I wouldn't have fallen into the hands of a madman with high-level Martial Art, wouldn't be here with a knife held to my neck, accompanying him to watch the moon and listening to him spout meaningless sweet nothings...

I am so stupid!

Really!

Feelings of regret filled Jiang Qingqin's heart; she couldn't even be bothered to speak to the madman before her.

Because no matter what she said, even if she cursed, what she received in return were still those endless, blush-inducing sweet nothings.

Such a conversation had no meaning whatsoever!

Yet, she lacked the courage to perish together with the man before her, because she felt it wasn't worth it, and besides, the other party hadn't done anything more excessive to her...

Scum!

Heartless man!

You have a new love and have forgotten your old fox!

You were whispering sweet nothings to her during the day!

And at night, you use a knife to hold another woman while showing off your tenderness...

Mother was right; there isn't a single good thing among men in this world!

Lying in Lin Bai's arms, the little white fox muttered in her heart. She looked at Lin Bai for a moment, then at Jiang Qingqin, and snorted inwardly: Love is all a lie; is it as good as a Beef Pill?

And so.

The little white fox snuggled into Lin Bai's arms.

Lin Bai understood. Maintaining the posture of holding the knife to the beauty, his other hand fished out a bottle of Zhangdu Pill and poured a pill into the little fox's mouth.

The little white fox swallowed the pill in comfort, enjoying it blissfully. Perhaps love tastes like beef!

Seeing this scene.

Jiang Qingqin's stomach let out a growl. She swallowed her saliva, her resentment growing even stronger. I am so stupid, really; if I hadn't gone to uphold justice, I would be full from eating in Jiamu City right now, lying on a warm, large bed, talking the night away with my good sister...

Suddenly.

A Zhangdu Pill also flew into her mouth, interrupting her remorse.

Jiang Qingqin subconsciously wanted to spit the pill out, but the fragrance filling her mouth made her pause, and she swallowed the pill in one gulp: "Hey, give me another one..."

Why be polite with a madman? Of course, you say whatever is on your mind.

Reserve?

Can reserve be eaten as a meal?

Lin Bai shook his head: "There is only one you in the whole world; how could I not cherish you."

"Stingy." Jiang Qingqin rolled her eyes at Lin Bai and decisively gave up on ineffective communication with the madman. She sighed deeply and looked at Lin Bai with pity: "Such a fine man, how did he go mad? Constantly whispering sweet nothings like this, he must have been hurt by love..."

Hearing this, Lin Bai sighed silently.

It's over!

His reputation in this world is beyond saving. At this rate, he probably won't be able to find a woman he loves, right?

A night of sweet nothings finally lasted until the sky began to brighten.

Theoretically, he had long exceeded the normal amount, but there was no notification that the task was complete because the time hadn't arrived yet.

But Lin Bai didn't intend to continue. He had run out of words; any more and he would be getting into dirty jokes.

It was enough to grind the sweet-nothing task on a young girl.

How could he really tease her?

Besides, although the other party was a bit naive, she was, after all, a good person who upheld justice!

Hopefully, the ordeal of this night would make her a bit smarter!

Otherwise, in this world filled with players, her naive and impulsive personality would easily lead to her being taken advantage of...

Leaving behind an apologetic look, Lin Bai nodded at her, put away the kitchen knife, hugged the little white fox who was sleeping soundly in his arms, soared into the sky, used a movement technique, and vanished in a flash.

Jiang Qingqin, who had suddenly regained her freedom, was dumbfounded. What was going on?

Leaving just like that?

This lady hadn't heard enough sweet nothings yet!

She reached out, summoned the Sword on the ground into her hand, tapped her toes on the ground, leaped up, and stood on a treetop, but all that remained in her line of sight was a black shadow?

"..." Jiang Qingqin stared blankly at the direction where Lin Bai had disappeared, compared their speeds, and her face turned dark.

With such high-level Martial Art, he must have been playing with her by leading her in circles yesterday afternoon!

But remembering the sweet nothings that lasted all night, Jiang Qingqin's face felt slightly hot again. She subconsciously touched her face and murmured: "Such a fine man, I wonder who hurt his heart? I wonder if the Qingxin Pill from Medicine King Valley could cure his madness?!"

Flying all the way back to Jiamu City.

Lin Bai landed in front of the Kitchen God Rice Divination. He let out a long breath; he had finally returned. This night was truly hard to endure!

The moment he saw Lin Bai, Li Jin jumped out from around the corner and said hurriedly: "Shopkeeper Lin, the City Lord requests your presence."

He had already been squatting at the Kitchen God Rice Divination for Lin Bai for a day and a night.

At this moment.

Li Jin's attitude was exceptionally respectful; Lin Bai's Morning Flight had not scared the City Lord, but it had scared him quite a bit.

During the day and night at the Kitchen God Rice Divination, Li Jin had also confirmed one truth: that day, Shopkeeper Lin had truly shown mercy to Zhou Jiang!

Moreover, the City Lord might really be interested in Lin Bai.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have had him squat here for a day and a night after Lin Bai flew out of the city, just to notify Lin Bai to go to the City Lord's Mansion at the first opportunity...

Lin Bai looked back at Li Jin and nodded: "I love you, there is no reason."

"..." Li Jin.

F*ck!

It was a conditioned reflex!

Lin Bai's old face darkened; he waved his hand impatiently at him, turned around, and ducked into the Kitchen God Rice Divination.

Li Jin chased him to the door, hesitated for a moment, but did not go in to urge Lin Bai. Instead, like the guard Xu Longyun, he stood obediently at the entrance of the Kitchen God Rice Divination—waiting for him!

"Master, you're back." Deng Li Buduo greeted him joyfully, and then his gaze fell upon the white fox, "This must be the Demon Beast they were talking about, right?"

Lin Bai ignored Deng Li Buduo; before the mission time was up, he didn't want to say a single word.

"Master, have some tea." Deng Li Buduo didn't mind; he diligently picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea for Lin Bai, and placed it in front of him.

Lin Bai was very thirsty, but he looked at Deng Li Buduo, then at the hot tea on the table, and pondered the matter of refining the Poison Pill at the City Lord's Mansion later.

"Master, it's not poisoned!" Deng Li Buduo looked at Lin Bai awkwardly, poured himself a cup from the pot, and gulped it down. He gave a dry laugh, "Master, how about this? From now on, wherever you go, take me with you. I'll help you taste the dishes and test for poison; I'm not afraid of death anyway..."

Lin Bai glanced at Deng Li Buduo, dipped his finger in the tea, and wrote one character on the table: Yes.

Deng Li Buduo was overjoyed and wanted to say more.

Lin Bai had already written the second character: Scram!

"Yes, I'll go practice, I won't disturb Master anymore!" Deng Li Buduo gave a sheepish smile; even though resentment was boiling in his heart, he still maintained a polite tone.

Having learned the rules of the Justice Sect and his Positioning in Lin Bai's heart, Deng Li Buduo understood the correct way to do things, which was to ensure Lin Bai couldn't find a single fault.

Compared to that group of Beggars, his status as a Disciple was much stronger.

Even if Lin Bai didn't like him, his Skills were currently far ahead of others, so he absolutely could not lose his position as a Disciple.

The sun was high in the sky.

The Great Language System sent a notification that the mission was complete:

【Sweet words and deep affection, love... maintain sweet words (Completed); Reward: Ventriloquism (Issued)】

【You look so handsome when you lie: Lies are a disguise, some with good intentions, some with bad; everyone's life is inseparable from lies. Lies can protect yourself and allow you to achieve your goals in the fastest way. A person's life cannot be without lies; please do not say a single word of truth within twelve hours; Reward: Vocal Mimicry】
