Chapter 54

Li Li Changyuan was also a second-rate martial artist. Seeing the situation was bad, he hid behind his soldiers. One soldier blocked the Ice Soul Silver Needles for him, his face instantly turning black, and he soon fell to the ground dead.

This gave Li Li Changyuan a fright. He hadn’t expected this beautiful woman dressed as a Daoist nun to be so vicious, using poison needles that killed upon drawing blood the moment she acted. Thinking back, he felt a lingering fear.

“Enough nonsense, I’ll take your dog life today!”

Li Li Mochou was ruthless and didn’t say much, flying directly toward Li Li Changyuan.

“Men, protect me!”

Li Li Changyuan was scared out of his wits and fled in a panic. He was at least a second-rate martial artist, yet facing Li Li Mochou, a first-rate martial artist, he didn’t even have the courage to face her for two moves. It seemed that having lived in luxury as a Garrison Commander for too long, his martial arts had withered.

Unfortunately, his soldiers were also seasoned slackers. Seeing that Li Li Mochou was ruthless and had high-level martial arts, they all retreated, not daring to block her.

Soon, Li Li Changyuan was caught. Li Li Mochou struck his heart with a Five Poisons Divine Palm. Li Li Changyuan opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of black blood, then his body swayed a few times before he fell to the ground dead.

When the soldiers saw Li Li Changyuan die, they scattered and fled. Lin Fan shook his head as he watched; the soldiers had no spirit at all. No wonder the combat effectiveness of the Great Ming army was beyond description.

“Daoist Li, why go to such lengths? He was right, he was an official of the imperial court. Killing him might bring you trouble!”

“You treated me to a meal, I helped you solve a problem; we are even now. Hong Lingbo, Lu Wushuang, let’s go!”

After Li Li Mochou finished speaking, she hurriedly took Hong Hong Lingbo and Lu Lu Wushuang away.

“This Li Li Mochou is so unappreciative. The Young Master treating her to a meal was giving her face, and she couldn’t wait to draw a line between herself and the Young Master. Is she looking down on our Young Master?” Lv He couldn’t help but feel indignant for her Young Master.

“Lv He, you’ve misunderstood. She doesn’t look down on your Young Master; she’s just afraid that she’ll lose her heart to him, so she’s fleeing in a panic!”

Huang Rong was clever and bright; how could she not see why Li Li Mochou was in such a hurry to pay back the favor?

“Forget it, let’s go back and rest. As for Li Li Mochou, the world of martial arts is vast; we shall meet again if fate allows.”

Lin Fan shook his head and stopped thinking about it, instead asking the innkeeper to take them to their rooms.

The innkeeper wanted to refuse; after all, Lin Fan and his group had just killed the Wuxi City Garrison Commander, and he didn’t want to let them stay, fearing he might be implicated.

But then he looked at the two corpses lying on the ground, and he didn’t dare to voice his refusal.

Finally, under the gaze of Lin Fan’s sharp eyes, the innkeeper honestly led Lin Fan to the guest rooms.

“Guest, these are the four best rooms in our inn. Please rest well!”

The innkeeper led Lin Fan to the rooms and then ran off impatiently. It seemed Lin Fan had truly scared him quite a bit.

“Lin Fan, it seems people take you for a murderous hero of the greenwood!”

Huang Rong looked at the fleeing innkeeper and laughed until tears almost came out.

“Is it that funny? Li Li Mochou killed them, what does it have to do with me? But the misunderstanding is fine; otherwise, the innkeeper might have kicked us out, and we would have had to sleep on the streets!”

“Don’t give me that. You aren’t that easygoing. If the innkeeper had dared to do that, you probably would have invited him to taste your One Finger Art. You are only exceptionally gentle when facing female martial artists!” Huang Rong gave Lin Fan a coquettish glare.

“You’re wrong about that. I am only exceptionally gentle when facing female martial artists who possess beauty!”

“Hmph, you big pervert. Lv He, let’s go, let’s go to sleep and ignore him!”

Huang Rong called Lv He and ran into a room, but three breaths later, she poked her head out and shouted at Lv He, who was standing still, “Lv He, what are you doing? Come to sleep!”

“I haven’t served the Young Master with his washing yet. You go to sleep first, I’ll be there in a moment!”

Lv He shook her head at Huang Rong; she still had important work to do and couldn’t sleep yet.

“Forget it, you’re completely wrapped around your Young Master’s finger, there’s no saving you!” Huang Rong pouted and pulled her head back in.

“Alright, Lv He, you go back to sleep too. We’ve been traveling all day, get some good rest!”

Lin Fan signaled that he didn’t need to be served, and Lv He had no choice but to enter the room.

Then Wang Wang Yuyan and Zhu Abi shared a room, and Zhu and Seeing Azi shared a room.

Lin Fan had a room to himself. After washing up, Lin Fan sat cross-legged on the bed and cultivated the Dragon Divine Art.

Meanwhile, in a guest room on the second floor of another inn in town, Li Li Mochou was leaning against the windowsill, looking at the moonlight and thinking about the words Lin Fan had said earlier, her expression somewhat melancholy.

“Lin Fan, you really are just as you appear in your diary, possessing the heart of a romantic wanderer. Even a Daoist nun like me, you want to flirt with. But after flirting, you can walk away gracefully, and how am I supposed to conduct myself? If I lose my heart to you, then what about Lu Lu Zhanyuan? Do I still love him or not? And is the Red-Brother Lian Fairy really who I want to be?” Li Li Mochou murmured to the moon.

“Senior Sister, what do you think is wrong with Master?” Lu Lu Wushuang asked Hong Hong Lingbo curiously.

Li Li Mochou had brought them away from Lin Fan and found this restaurant to stay in. After entering the room, she had just been staring blankly.

“I think she’s lovesick. That Heavenly Secret Young Master Lin Fan is handsome and graceful; who could help but lose their heart to him? Moreover, his words revealed pity and heartache for Master, which makes Master even less able to resist!”

Hong Hong Lingbo looked at the dazed Li Li Mochou and said with certainty.

“And what about you? Have you lost your heart?” Lu Lu Wushuang asked again.

“Of course I have. When Young Master Lin looked at me with a smile on the second floor, my heart almost jumped out. Don’t tell me you haven’t, Junior Sister? It’s a pity we are both nobodies; Young Master Lin didn’t say much to us. The worst part is that we were eating and drinking like gluttons in front of him; I’m afraid we didn’t leave a very good impression in Young Master Lin’s heart!” Hong Hong Lingbo hesitated for a moment before answering truthfully.

“Senior Sister, you’re fine; at least your limbs are sound, unlike me, I’m even lame in one foot. Young Master Lin definitely won’t take a fancy to me!” Lu Lu Wushuang said with some inferiority.

“It’s alright, Junior Sister. If there’s a chance in the future, I will definitely find a way to heal your leg. When that time comes, you will be perfect and flawless. Lu Wushuang, Lu Wushuang, how can there be flaws!”

Hong Hong Lingbo comforted her junior sister Lu Lu Wushuang carefully. Although Lu Lu Wushuang had been captured by Li Li Mochou, Hong Hong Lingbo still cared for her very much.

“Why do you say Master’s hands are often held up as if she’s looking at something? Why can’t we see anything?”

To divert Lu Lu Wushuang’s attention and keep her from being sad, Hong Hong Lingbo brought up Li Li Mochou’s strange behavior.

Actually, that was Li Li Mochou reading Lin Fan’s diary. The two girls didn’t have one, so they couldn’t understand what Li Li Mochou was looking at.
