Chapter 249: Level Up! Revenge!

"Roar—"

Cangyun Mountain, a certain valley.

A massive Demon Beast tiger was roaring angrily as it lunged toward a figure.

The Demon Beast tiger had whirlwinds beneath its four paws, its speed extremely fast.

But the figure it lunged at was just as fast; with a flash, the figure dodged its attack.

Following this, several flaming throwing knives of various colors suddenly flew out from the figure's fingertips.

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

Several bloody holes had already appeared on the Demon Beast tiger's body, with fresh blood gushing out.

Seeing these throwing knives, it knew they were dangerous and hurriedly dodged.

The figure took this opportunity to rush toward it with a "whoosh," both fists surrounded by powerful gusts of wind, the movement actually emitting the sounds of a dragon's roar and a tiger's howl.

The Demon Beast tiger felt fear and seemed prepared to flee.

However, the figure's approach was extremely fast; in the blink of an eye, the figure had arrived behind it. The moment it leaped up, the figure smashed a fist into its body with a "boom," directly sending its massive frame flying.

"Bang!"

The Demon Beast tiger fell to the ground in a sorry state, roaring in pain. Having completely lost its reason, it rolled over, leaped up, and spat flames from its mouth, lunging furiously toward the figure that was pursuing it.

The person and the tiger had been fighting for a long time, and the figure had never met it head-on, but this time, he did not dodge again and charged straight at it.

The massive fist, carrying a whistling gale, blew away the flames spat from the Demon Beast tiger's mouth and then landed heavily on the Demon Beast tiger's head.

The Demon Beast tiger, using all its strength, possessed immense power.

The figure's body actually shuddered and was sent flying backward, traveling more than ten meters before falling to the ground in a sorry state.

However, as soon as he landed, he immediately leaped up from the ground and charged forward once again.

"Roar—"

The Demon Beast tiger had long since lost its reason and, roaring, lunged forward once more.

"Boom!"

Another head-on collision!

The figure was sent flying again. When he stood up from the ground, he spat out a mouthful of blood with a "wah," but the light in his eyes was exceptionally bright and excited.

"Just a little more! Come again!"

He charged forward once more.

Having been struck by two punches, the Demon Beast tiger's ferocity was stirred even further. It roared, leaped high into the air, and lunged like a small mountain.

"Boom!"

The person and the tiger collided violently once again.

This time, a roar suddenly came from within the figure's body. The moment he was sent flying, a strange and powerful energy surged abruptly within his Dantian Sea, instantly filling every acupoint in his body!

"Bang!"

He fell heavily to the ground.

Yet this time, not only did he not feel the slightest pain, he felt exceptionally refreshed, his entire body as if reborn, filled with explosive power!

The Internal Energy in his Dantian Sea, which had been on the verge of exhaustion, was also instantly filled to the brim!

"Roar—"

When the Demon Beast tiger bared its ferocious fangs and lunged at him again, preparing to take his life while he was vulnerable, he leaped up and, with a "whoosh," charged forward to meet it at an even faster speed.

"Boom!"

An explosive sound, accompanied by the roar of a dragon and the howl of a tiger.

The massive fist, flashing with a blinding pale yellow light, landed heavily on the Demon Beast tiger's head, actually smashing this massive Demon Beast tiger directly away!

"Crack!"

This time, the Demon Beast tiger's head, hard as iron, was instantly smashed and caved in.

The Demon Beast tiger let out a shrill, miserable cry and fell heavily to the ground.

The figure swept forward again like lightning; before the Demon Beast tiger could leap up again, he smashed another punch into its head with a "boom"!

This punch directly smashed its entire head into pieces!

Blood and brains splattered out.

The Demon Beast tiger, which had been roaring continuously just a moment ago, suddenly widened its eyes and breathed its last!

"Hoo—"

The figure stood before the Demon Beast tiger's corpse and let out a long breath.

"Finally leveled up!"

He did not dare to linger on the spot; after putting the Demon Beast tiger's corpse into his Storage Bag, he turned and left the Yougu, walking toward the outside of the mountain forest.

Passing by a small stream, he simply washed the bloodstains off his body, changed his clothes, and then continued walking forward.

Coming out of the city to hunt today was precisely to rely on a Demon Beast to break through his bottleneck.

Since he had already succeeded in breaking through and had hunted such a powerful Demon Beast tiger, it was naturally time to head back home.

Next, it was time to go back and wait for news from the palace.

He hoped that the Queen would keep her word and send someone to find him soon.

As for revenge, he could no longer wait.

"Whoosh—"

Just as he was walking and thinking about things, a wounded demon deer suddenly darted out from the forest ahead.

A figure with a slender frame, wearing a red dress and holding a Red Tasseled Spear, was chasing behind it. Upon seeing him, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly shouted, "Brother Dongfang, quickly help me stop it!"

"Alright!"

Luo Zijun said nothing and threw a punch at that demon deer.

"Bang!"

The demon deer was struck and fell, its head shattered, and after its body twitched a few times, it died completely.

Xu Ziyin came up close, opened her eyes wide as she looked at him, and with an expression of utter disbelief on her face, said, "Brother Dongfang, you... you've advanced again?"

Luo Zijun ignored her, took out his Storage Bag directly, and put the corpse of the demon deer on the ground inside.

Only then did Xu Ziyin react, and she hurriedly said, "It's mine! The demon deer is mine!"

Luo Zijun pressed his hand against her forehead, pushed her away, and said, "Before you pay back my silver, every piece of prey you hunt here is interest! Besides, I was the one who killed this demon deer."

Having said that, he left directly.

Xu Ziyin was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly chased after him: "Brother Dongfang, can you share a leg with me? I've been training diligently recently and need Demon Beast meat to replenish my energy."

"Get lost."

Luo Zijun refused directly.

Xu Ziyin followed behind and said, "Brother Dongfang, once I advance, I can come here to hunt more Demon Beasts, and I'll give them all to you then, okay?"

Luo Zijun snorted coldly and said, "Stop feeding me empty promises! You're just a rascal; you owe money and don't pay it back, yet you still dare to make empty promises?"

Xu Ziyin chuckled, snorted, and said, "I didn't say I wouldn't pay it back. I said I would offer myself to you and work like an ox or a horse for you, but you were the one who didn't want it."

Luo Zijun turned his head to look at her and said, "You call this paying back a debt? You're just being a shameless rascal, returning evil for good, and trying to get me to spend money to support you! Keep dreaming!"

Xu Ziyin laughed out loud.

Luo Zijun ignored her further, left the mountain forest, and hired a carriage to return to the city.

Xu Ziyin naturally followed him onto the carriage with a thick skin.

Throughout the journey, the girl looked at him with a grin, her face full of happiness, without the slightest worry or sorrow of carrying a huge debt.

After entering the city, Xu Ziyin suddenly knelt on the ground, tugged at his sleeve with both hands, and acted like a spoiled child: "Brother Dongfang, a leg, give me a leg to eat, I beg you."

Luo Zijun truly had not expected that a girl who had been so haughty and arrogant before would now turn into such a shameless person.

"No."

Luo Zijun refused decisively.

Xu Ziyin said, "Then I'll eat your leg!"

Having said that, with an "Awoo" sound, she lowered her head and bit down on his leg, though her teeth did not close.

Luo Zijun grabbed her hair and pulled her away. He had wanted to slap her a few times, but seeing her wide eyes and her pitiful appearance, and remembering that this girl was cheated by that fellow Xu Xian every day, she was likely indeed without silver or Demon Beast meat to eat and was truly pitiful, so he kept a straight face and said, "You can have a leg to eat, but you must eat something else first."

Xu Ziyin was startled upon hearing this. Her pitiful gaze suddenly glanced toward a certain place, and two blushes immediately rose on her pretty face. She opened her eyes wide and said, "You... you..."

Luo Zijun took out a Demon Pig Pill, handed it to her, and said, "This is a poison. After you eat it, you must listen to me. If after one month..."

"I'll eat it!"

Before he could finish, Xu Ziyin snatched it away, put it into her mouth in one go, swallowed it without hesitation, and then looked at him eagerly: "Brother Dongfang, after I eat this poison, will I become your slave in one month and be able to work like an ox or a horse for you?"

"..."

The corner of Luo Zijun's mouth twitched, and he said with a cold face, "In your dreams! After one month, if you don't get the antidote, you will bleed from your seven orifices and die!"

Xu Ziyin blinked: "Then within this month, what does Brother Dongfang want to do to me? Does Brother Dongfang want to use this poison to control me, so that I'm at your beck and call, washing clothes and folding quilts, serving tea and pouring water, and accompanying you to bed for Brother Dongfang?"

"Dream on!"

Luo Zijun snorted coldly: "After one month, if you still don't pay back the money, then just wait to die!"

After saying this, he cut off a deer leg from the Storage Bag, threw it in front of her, and then got off the carriage.

This girl was truly beyond saving.

The time was still early, and he prepared to go to Bao'an Hall first; ever since he had taken liberties with his Senior Sister last time, he had not dared to go there again.

But he had to go.

However, before that, he needed to return to the Bai Mansion first.

The Queen had said that she would send someone to notify him in these few days, telling him to lead men to wipe out Jile Villa.

He absolutely could not delay the most important matter.

At that time, he would also have to lure Lai Da to Jile Villa first, and then take his brother-in-law with him to take revenge.

Traveling quickly, he soon returned to the Bai Mansion.

Just as he entered the small courtyard, Ziyuan hurriedly said, "Young Master, you've finally returned. The Third Miss has come looking for you several times, saying that someone from the palace has arrived."

Luo Zijun felt a surge of joy upon hearing this and hurriedly asked, "Is that person still here?"

Ziyuan said, "Still here. At this time, they should still be strolling in the Baihuayuan at the back. The Third Miss said that if the Young Master returned, you should go directly there."

Upon hearing this, just as Luo Zijun was about to go to the Baihuayuan, he suddenly remembered that he had just killed a Demon Beast outside the city and had not yet bathed, so there might still be some scent lingering on him.

He immediately told Xiaohuan to close the courtyard gate, then stripped off his clothes and bathed with cold water by the well.

After washing up in a hurry.

He changed into a clean Confucian robe and went out to the Baihuayuan.
