Chapter 263

Short-Legged Tiger was full of dissatisfaction, but he didn't dare to refute.

The Big Boss had always been a person of her word. If she were angered, she would kill anyone, even her own parents.

Forget it, better shut up.

Du Ruo didn't know this.

Hearing Deaf Granny say she wanted to kidnap her to be a water bandit, her first reaction was that Deaf Granny was crazy: "Sorry, I'm not interested in highway robbery."

Deaf Granny couldn't hear the sarcasm in her words and smiled.

"I know, you can't bear to leave your home and the man in your home, right?"

Du Ruo was noncommittal.

So what if she was? She now had a harmonious family, a happy marriage, money, and land. Why would she give up a good life to be a water bandit? She wasn't brain-damaged.

"You must think your husband loves you very much, right?" Deaf Granny looked at her and continued: "Does he treat you with total obedience, dote on you in every way, and swear that he will only love you in this life and never let you down?"

Du Ruo didn't say anything.

Although Jiang Li hadn't said it so bluntly, he had indeed sworn that he would treat her well for the rest of his life.

"What a pity. All men in the world are fickle. He loves you now just because he wants something fresh. When time passes and he gets tired of you, do you think he will still treat you as he did at the beginning?"

"By then, he'll be taking in three or four concubines, not caring about your feelings at all, and for the sake of fame and profit, he won't hesitate to abandon you!"

"Betray you!"

"Sell you out!"

"Even send you to other men to enjoy!"

Deaf Granny's tone became sharper and sharper, mixed with gnashing hatred.

And from her body, a thick murderous aura radiated.

The lackeys stood with their hands tied, silent as cicadas, not daring to breathe. Even Short-Legged Tiger retreated two steps, staying far away from Deaf Granny.

A strange feeling rose in Du Ruo's heart.

Listening to Deaf Granny's venomous tone, it didn't sound like she was talking about her, but rather like Deaf Granny's own personal experience.

Could it be that she had been hurt by a man like this before?

Deaf Granny probably realized she had lost control of her emotions and soon returned to calm, beginning to entice her: "As long as you agree to join the Moxia Village, I guarantee you will be above one person and below a hundred, doing whatever you want."

"If you want men, I'll catch them for you. You can pick as many as you want, thin or fat."

"If you want money, I'll rob it for you. You can have as much as you want."

"Isn't such a free and happy life a hundred times better than staying at home, raising children, and being a bullied little wife?"

Du Ruo was speechless.

It sounded pretty good, but this wasn't the ideal life she wanted.

"Thank you for your kindness, Big Boss. We are on different paths, so we cannot work together. I'll say it again: I'm not interested in highway robbery."

Deaf Granny's face dimmed, and she sighed: "That's a real pity."

Her gaze passed over Du Ruo and landed on Jiang Zhan behind her.

"This handsome little brother seems to be Du's family member, right? He looks really good."

Du Ruo's vigilance rose: "What do you want?"

"Nothing, I just want him to stay in our village for a few more days."

Deaf Granny seemed to have just remembered: "Oh, I forgot to tell you, our Second Boss not only likes beautiful women, but he also has no resistance to tender-skinned young boys. Especially scholars like your brother, who are gentle and refined—they are his favorites."

Short-Legged Tiger behind her laughed loudly, his eyes looking at Jiang Zhan wantonly: "That's right, I like his type. It's exciting!"

Seeing this situation, the students cast sympathetic glances at Jiang Zhan.

Master Yan was furious: "Insulting to scholarship, shameless!"

No matter how steady Jiang Zhan was, he was still young and thin-skinned. Being teased like this in public, especially by a man, how could he endure it?

His handsome face turned red with anger, and he wished he could sew that dirty mouth shut with his mind!

Du Ruo sneered inwardly.

So the soft approach didn't work, and now they were using the hard approach, actually threatening her with Jiang Zhan.

Unfortunately, she was born with a rebellious bone and hated being threatened the most.

Du Ruo calmly took out the Bone-Eating Powder she had exchanged from the system from the purse at her waist and held it in her palm.

Then, she raised her unyielding chin, her attitude cold and hard: "I'll say it again: I, and my family, are not interested in highway robbery. If you want us to stay and fall into depravity with you bandits, keep dreaming!"

Everyone present couldn't help but break into a cold sweat for her.

You have to know that the person standing opposite was a water bandit leader!

Saying such things, wasn't she afraid of being beaten to death?

Deaf Granny wasn't angry; instead, she smiled, her eyes full of appreciation: "Very good, worthy of being the person I've taken a fancy to. You have backbone."

She tilted her head and asked the lackey next to her: "Go out and see, where are we?"

The lackey responded, ran out, and soon returned: "Reporting to the Big Boss, we are almost at our village. It should be about two quarters of an hour."

Deaf Granny nodded: "Good, then let's do it. Tie everyone up."

"Yes, Big Boss!"

The lackeys untied the hemp ropes they carried with them and rushed forward, competing to tie everyone into rice dumplings, intending to lock them in the village dungeon so they wouldn't be hard to deal with when the drug wore off.

After all, among these people, there were many highly skilled guards and escorts.

A few lecherous lackeys walked toward Du Ruo with a grin.

"Little lady, be good. Look at how tender you are. If I hurt you, brother will feel bad."

Cold light flickered in Du Ruo's eyes.

Suddenly, she turned her palm over and threw a handful of Bone-Eating Powder without hesitation.

*Achoo! Achoo! *

The lackeys were caught off guard, got a noseful of powder, and sneezed several times in a row.

"What the hell, why is it so spicy?"

"Hiss, my eyes... it hurts! I can't see!"

"Ah ah ah! I, I can't breathe, help!!"

Immediately after, several *thuds* were heard as they fell one after another, twisting on the floor like maggots, letting out painful wails.

And their faces turned pitch black, like the bottom of a pot.

It was clear they had been poisoned.

The sudden change startled everyone.

The other lackeys were halfway through tying people up, and seeing this, they hurriedly dropped the ropes and retreated.

Short-Legged Tiger's face changed: "Damn it, I really underestimated this woman. She actually hid poison on her!"

Deaf Granny narrowed her eyes, her interest even stronger.

Interesting, interesting. It's been a long time since I've met such an interesting person. If she could stay by my side, life wouldn't be boring.

"You, go handle her." She gave Short-Legged Tiger a look and added: "Remember, don't hurt her. If she loses a hair, you lose two; if she dies, you go to hell."

Short-Legged Tiger: "..."

"But Big Boss, that woman can throw poison." He reminded her with a difficult face.

Deaf Granny didn't care: "So what if she has poison? You are a dignified martial arts scholar, and you can't subdue an unarmed woman?"

Short-Legged Tiger's mouth twitched.

She was indeed unarmed, but she had poison in her hands!

In this situation, killing her was easy, but capturing her alive was simply making things difficult for him.

However, since the Big Boss had given the order, he didn't dare not to listen, so he could only agree with grievance, staring at Du Ruo's hands while approaching slowly.

Du Ruo was also ready for battle.

She didn't expect this water bandit leader to be a martial arts scholar. It seemed his martial arts were not weak, so although she had Bone-Eating Powder, she absolutely couldn't be careless.

"Little System, I need outside help!" Du Ruo called the system in her mind.

The system was more anxious than her: "Host, you are no match for him."

Du Ruo had black lines: "I know that! I mean, as a system, you should have a lot of martial arts manuals stored in your core, right? Seeing that Tiger brother's moves, you should know how to break them, right?"

Wasn't that what Wang Yuyan, who remembered all the martial arts in martial arts novels, did?

That.

The system immediately became proud: "That's right, this system is the ancestor of the system world. This little thing can naturally be done."

It paused and then said: "However, this service is paid, two points at a time."

Du Ruo: "..."

*Heh*, it never forgets to earn points.

Seeing that the man was almost there, Du Ruo didn't have time to bargain with the system: "Fine, fine, fine, I'll give them to you, okay?"

Short-Legged Tiger also didn't dare to be careless. There was a lesson from the past; if he wasn't careful, he would be dead.

Since he couldn't hurt her, he could only hit her pressure points.

He soon came up with a good idea.

He planned to feint to the left to confuse Du Ruo, and then, while Du Ruo was throwing poison powder to the left and didn't have time to return her hand, he would take the opportunity to rush to the right and hit her pressure points.

In this way, it would be foolproof.

To increase credibility, Short-Legged Tiger deliberately shouted: "I'm coming!"

After saying that, he pretended to pounce to Du Ruo's left.

"Host, right side!" the system shouted.

Du Ruo threw a handful of Bone-Eating Powder to the right without hesitation.

Short-Legged Tiger had just braked hard from the left and turned to the right, and before his hand was even stretched out, he was hit squarely.

Suddenly, he felt terrible.

How could this be? Could this woman read minds??

He didn't care about hitting pressure points anymore, hurriedly retreated, sat on the ground, and began to force the poison out.

Unfortunately, the poison was too powerful. Soon he felt his vision blur, his whole body began to tremble, and his face turned from white to black.

Gritting his teeth, Short-Legged Tiger took out a few pills from his bosom with trembling hands and threw them into his mouth.

These were all things he had robbed before. Whether they were useful or not, he would eat them first.

Fortunately, it was finally contained.

Although the poison couldn't be cured, his life was saved.

It was just that he couldn't use his internal energy for a short time, and he couldn't even move, otherwise the poison would attack his heart and he would become a cripple.

"Big Boss, this woman is evil!"

Without him saying it, Deaf Granny could see it. Evil is good, evil is interesting.

Deaf Granny smiled.

It seemed it was time to go out in person.
