Chapter 147

"You're talking nonsense, I'm not timid there, and that fellow Daoist is not a bad person, he won't harm us!"

Hu Jiushisan said indignantly.

Although.

Wang Ping'an is highly likely to be a Sword Cultivator, not a Talisman Master, but regardless of whether he is a Sword Cultivator or a Talisman Master, as long as this sir can produce a large number of talismans.

In its eyes, he is a first-rate noble.

It naturally couldn't escape on its own, leaving Niuda this beast here to deal with Wang Ping'an; who knows if this beast will push itself out.

What's more.

Wang Ping'an's ability just shown is very impressive, and it also startled it.

Without even using any spell, just an ordinary sword strike, yet that very strike took the lives of two strong individuals.

Even though they were using Golden Light Talismans, one can see how formidable Wang Ping'an is.

But it also has Golden Light Talismans; those talismans the two strong individuals somehow obtained are not from nowhere—these talismans came from Wang Ping'an's hand.

Just now.

Wang Ping'an's talismans have been blocking wave after wave of magical attacks; it doesn't believe it can't block Wang Ping'an's Flying Sword.

No danger to life, naturally no need to flee!

Niuda sneered: "We've been acquaintances for years, I still don't know what kind of person you are; at the slightest conflict, you just run behind others—are you timid? I can't not know that!"

I'd say you'd better leave early, otherwise if that fellow Daoist makes a move, be careful……

Before Niuda could finish speaking, Hu Jiushisan sprang up and ran toward where Wang Ping'an was, startled, and hurriedly called out to warn:

"Fellow Daoist, be careful, be careful that this Fox Demon sneaks up on you when you're off guard!"

Hu Jiushisan turned and glared at the approaching Niuda, thinking: "Is this something a person would say? No, is it something a monster would say?" Fearing Wang Ping'an might misunderstand, he hurriedly explained:

"Fellow Daoist, fellow Daoist, don't listen to that stupid ox's nonsense; I came over to explain to you, I will definitely not be harmful to you, please believe me!"

Wang Ping'an ignored the shouts of the two monsters behind him; since those two Evil Cultivators who dared kill and plunder died under his Flying Sword, he has had the leisure to notice the sneaking Hu Jiushisan and Niuda below.

With the aid of the skill Pet's Ear, he easily heard the two monsters' conversation clearly.

Knowing what they intend by chasing after him, he naturally doesn't worry they'll ambush from behind.

Moreover.

He is currently merely controlling a Paper Person to act, not his true form; even if those two monsters ambush, at most they'd damage a Paper Person.

Paper Person.

He wants as many as he can get!

But by then, what awaits those two monsters will only be mortal danger.

He is not the kind of person who, after being ambushed, would think of forgiving the attacker.

What's more, if those two monsters dare to ambush him, once he slays them he might even gain a large amount of Merit.

"Merit?"

Wang Ping'an seemed to have thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he mused: "Looks like from now on, I'll have to come often to the Jiu tou shan ji shi!"

Cultivators who dare to venture into monster territory and do business with monsters cannot all be called bad people, but their average moral standard is generally lower than that of ordinary folks; who knows, some of them might have done beastly deeds worse than swine and dogs!

Once slain, it's highly likely to gain a large amount of Merit.

Of course.

He is not the type who likes to kill a whole boat with one blow.

So.

He plans to come to the Jiu tou shan ji shi several more times in the future, just like today, frequently showing off his wealth there to attract the attention of those with ulterior motives; once he leaves, he will surely encounter assassins.

To lure out the wicked within and carry out heaven's justice!

"Indeed, I am a great hero of humanity; doing business with monsters, my gains exceed my costs, entirely reducing monster resources and even eliminating the scum hidden among humans!"

Wang Ping'an gave a hehe smile and said proudly: "Fortunately I'm used to being an unnamed hero; otherwise, with my contributions, not giving a gold medal would be unjustifiable!"

Just as Wang Ping'an finished looting the two Evil Cultivators' storage bags, preparing to fly up onto the Peregrine Falcon Little Gray's back and leave.

"Plop!"

Hu Jiushisan flew over to Wang Ping'an's face, suddenly dropped to his knees, completely lacking the ferocity of a monster, seeming like a lowly servant, fawning with a smile, he flattered:

This novel you have arrived

"Fellow Daoist, I was wrong, I shouldn't have followed you, but you need to hear my explanation; it wasn't intentional—I saw you go out front, then someone chased after you from behind, I suspected someone wanted to ambush you, so I hurriedly followed to see if I could help."

Niuda angrily stared at Hu Jiushisan; just as it reached Wang Ping'an's front, before it could react, it saw Hu Jiushisan kneel before Wang Ping'an.

It never imagined that Hu Jiushisan would do such a thing.

It completely threw away the face of their monster kind!

Niuda let out a "Plop!" and likewise knelt before Wang Ping'an, explaining:

"Fellow Daoist, just now when I caught up, I saw those two villains intending to attack you, fellow Daoist, and I prepared to step in to help you."

But that Fox Demon stopped me, saying it wasn't the time yet, and saying 'adding embroidery to brocade is no match for giving charcoal in the snow,' wanting to wait for the crucial moment to act.

Claiming it could bring us closer to you, fellow Daoist, and see if we could continue to obtain a large number of talismans from you.

It would suddenly kneel before Wang Ping'an, and the blame lies with Hu Jiushisan this Fox Demon; if it hadn't knelt first, how could it have knelt?

It is not soft‑boned, fond of groveling; it's not like Hu Jiushisan, who does it only for himself—it kneels before Wang Ping'an for the sake of its ox clan—no, for the entire monster race.

It wishes to endure hardship and taste gall, to obtain a large number of talismans from Wang Ping'an, exchange them for cultivation resources, strive to improve itself, step by step ascend to the peak.

Little monsters, big monsters, monster generals, monster kings, even monster emperors!

Finally.

To lead the entire monster race to become the foremost among the hundred races!

It cultivates for the rise of the entire monster race, so the resentment and grievances it suffers on this path of cultivation are all for the monster race.

You damn beast!

Hu Jiushisan glared angrily at Niuda, wishing he could swallow this beast alive and tear it apart; it never imagined that it would have the nerve to blame itself for kneeling, yet he himself also knelt.

What made it angriest was that this ox beast laid bare all its background.

Hu Jiushisan's face turned slightly flushed; even though he considered himself thick-skinned, in this situation he still felt unusually ashamed, and said:

"Fellow cultivator, what that bastard said is correct; I did all this out of selfish motives, seeking to obtain talismans from you, fellow cultivator, but I never intended to harm you; please forgive me, don't be as narrow-minded as me."

Now is not the time to feel ashamed; instead, we should see if we can turn passive into active—as long as we can obtain a large number of talismans, what's a little embarrassment?

As for taking revenge on that beast Niuda, there will be plenty of time in the future!
