Chapter 866
"Let's go. This matter is settled, and we should continue on our way. Miss Duan, everyone, farewell!"
Lin Fan led the women to continue their journey. Now that the Fish Demon, Pig Demon, and Monkey Demon had all died at his hands, and even the human incarnation of the Great Sun Tathagata had been destroyed because of him, he wondered if the pilgrimage to the Western Heaven could even continue.
"Chief, Chief, hey, still looking? They've already left!"
Several subordinates nudged the infatuated Miss Duan, and she finally woke up from her dream.
"Where are they?"
"Of course they left. Or do you want them to stay and watch you act like a fool?"
The Four Evils shook their heads helplessly; this chief had absolutely no charm as a woman.
"How could this be? Last time they left without saying goodbye, and this time they left without saying goodbye again!"
"That's not true. Young Master Lin said goodbye to us very politely. It was you who were acting like a fool and didn't hear it, right?"
"Ugh, so annoying! Back to the stronghold!"
Miss Duan remembered that last time, Lin Fan seemed to have greeted her before leaving as well, but she hadn't reacted in time. This time, she hadn't reacted in time again, so she turned and walked away, feeling annoyed and flustered.
"Brother Lin Fan, you said that Master Kongxu became like that because he practiced the Void Sword Sutra. Do you still intend for us to practice this Void Sword Sutra?"
At this moment, Zhao Linger heard Lin Fan say he wanted to find a woman to practice the Void Sword Sutra and asked with some surprise.
"He only ended up looking like a consumptive because his body was too weak. If assisted by a divine body-refining art, one wouldn't become like that. I think Yueru is suitable for practicing this!"
"No way! You bad guy, if I chose to refine my body just to practice the Void Sword Sutra, wouldn't I become a woman covered in muscles? Just thinking about it is terrifying!"
Lin Yueru jumped up immediately upon hearing this. She definitely didn't want to become a muscle woman.
Seeing this, Lin Fan couldn't help but smile. He was just teasing her; look how anxious he made Lin Yueru.
Their group chatted and laughed, and before they knew it, they arrived at a riverside where several people were actually blocking the road to demand money.
"My father built this bridge. If you want to cross, you have to pay. Twenty wen per person!"
A flamboyant man dressed in pink silk sat by the bridge. A lackey who looked like a steward was serving him, and several retainers were guarding the bridgehead, stopping commoners and demanding money for crossing.
"Having to pay to cross a bridge—may you have no descendants!"
A fat auntie cursed while taking money out of her bundle.
"What were you muttering about just now, with your dirty mouth? Others pay twenty wen to cross, but you have to pay forty!"
Unexpectedly, the steward heard the fat auntie's words, so he doubled the bridge toll as punishment.
"Why do others only pay twenty wen, but I have to pay double?"
"You have more meat on you, so you have to pay double to cross!"
"I won't give it!"
"Then cut off half the meat on her body for me!"
Several retainers blocked the fat auntie and searched her for another twenty wen, which they threw into the money box.
"Absurd! These guys are courting death. I'm going to kill them!"
Lin Yueru was furious at this scene and prepared to draw her sword to slay this group of bandits and bullies.
"Don't be in a hurry, let's watch a bit more!"
Lin Fan found this scene familiar, so he stopped Lin Yueru.
"Wait, how much for you?"
After the fat auntie left, the steward stopped a tall, thin man.
"Ten wen, that big sister just now was fat so the bridge toll was doubled; I'm thin, so the bridge toll should be halved."
"You're tall! Twenty wen, not a penny less!"
"Wait, I only have ten wen."
"No ten wen, no crossing! Get lost!"
The tall, thin man was dragged away by the steward and not allowed to cross. At this moment, a man who looked like Wu Dalang walked over, also taking out ten wen to cross the bridge.
"What do you want now?"
The steward asked impatiently.
"The fat person just now was forty wen, the tall person was twenty. I'm short and small, so I should pay ten wen!"
"Are you even a person? If you're a person, you should pay twenty wen!"
At this moment, the flamboyant man sitting down stood up to chime in.
"Brother Lin Fan, they have a justification for everything, no matter which way you look at it. They demand whatever amount they want. Never mind Yueru, even I want to teach them a lesson."
Zhao Linger also frowned and said to Lin Fan. ===== CHAPTER 868 =====
