Chapter 589 – Guests
Han Li swept a glance around, just one person did not, so he no longer hesitated one hand to the spirit animal bag on a clap, a three-color gold-eating insects noiselessly fly out of the bag, and then in his barely mobilized the last trace of the command of the divine mind, this insect “whoosh” shot to the stone house. Then, this insect from a gap in the stone door, body shape a flat squeeze in.
Inside the house was quiet, not a single sound.
Seeing this scene, Han Li let out a cold laugh in his heart, and walked towards the residence without looking back. Han Li had just turned a corner when suddenly a miserable scream came from the middle-aged man’s residence with the surname Feng.
Han Li pursed his lips and continued walking back with an expressionless face. However, the sound of people had already begun to boom in the distance.
Since he had made a grudge against the middle-aged man surnamed Feng, he naturally had to take advantage of the time when his magical power and divine sense were still present to cleanly resolve this aftermath. Otherwise, he would always feel a little uneasy in his heart if he was missed by this person.
Before returning to the house, the tiny bit of mana brought by the psychic qi collapsed cleanly, and at the same time, the divine sense was unable to leave the body. After Han Li lightly shook his head and looked at the residence not far away, he took large steps.
Walking into the house, Mei Ning was lying on her side on the stone bed, breathing gently and regularly, not knowing when she was asleep.
Han Li was first stunned, then looking at her sweetly intoxicating sleeping face, remembering the situation when he kissed her not long ago, his heart was slightly warm. However, when he saw that this woman was slightly curled up with some chills, he hesitated for a moment before picking up a larger piece of demonic beast skin from the pile of things on the table to cover this woman.
This woman seems to feel the warmth, the original slightly wrinkled eyebrow stretched to open, then subconsciously the beast skin automatically to the body a roll, still asleep.
Seeing this situation, Han Li could not help but laugh.
It was no wonder that this woman, although her physique was far superior to normal people, but after all, she was a woman, and the previous tossing and turning had left her physically and mentally exhausted. As a result, just as she was waiting for Han Li, she unknowingly felt a surge of tiredness and fell into a sound sleep.
After Han Li smiled, he didn’t wake the other party up, but instead looked at the pile of materials on the table, a hint of a strange color flashing through his eyes.
After an unknown amount of time, Mei Ning slowly woke up, and as a result, before she could open her beautiful eyes, a faint voice first came from her ears: ”If Fellow Daoist Mei wakes up, then get up. Our two days have not been easy, and there are still some preparations to be made.”
As soon as she heard the words clearly, this woman sat up with a blush on her face, and the demonic beast skin on her body naturally slipped off.
This caused this woman to stay for a moment, and then a pair of bright eyes stared blankly at the place where the voice came from, her face showing a hint of complexity.
Han Li was sitting on the chair opposite him, organizing a rather large piece of demonic beast skin, and when he saw this woman wake up, he smiled at her.
”I don’t know if Miss Mei is proficient in the art of female red. I have some fire-attribute high-grade beast skins here, if it is possible, it would be best to make several leather garments out of them and wear them on your body. In that case, it would be quite effective against that Yin wind.”
”I can give it a try, but I’ll need some needles and threads and such.” Seeing that Han Li didn’t mention yesterday’s kiss in the slightest, Mei Ning’s embarrassment receded a little, but for some reason, there was another indescribable loss in her heart, but on the surface, she just returned with a slightly reddened face.
”These animal skins are relatively hard, and only flying needle magic weapon can barely penetrate them. Then let’s just use these thinner beast tendons and make do with some stitching. After all, we’re just trying to ward off the yin wind, so we can’t be much more particular about it.” With a lift of his hand, Han Li plucked a long, blue-hued needle from the table and handed it over, as if he had prepared for it.
This needle was a top-grade flying needle artifact, incomparably sharp, and even Han Li himself had forgotten from which unlucky cultivator who had died at his hands, and now that he happened to feel that he could use it, he took it out of his storage pouch all together.
”I’ll do my best.” Mei Ning bit her red lips and said in a low voice.
Han Li nodded and was about to say something else when footsteps came from outside the door, followed by a pale voice: “I wonder if Fellow Daoist Han is available?”
”Who?” Han Li faintly stared, asking in a somewhat strange manner. But then felt that the voice was a bit familiar, and after a moment’s thought, it was actually the voice of the old man with the long beard, and his heart was even more surprised.
”Hehe, you were still talking with me on the stone platform yesterday!” Outside came a bright laughter, indeed it was that cultivator who called himself Five Dragon Sea.
The other side so said, Han Li naturally will not close the door not see, he is also a little curious about the other side suddenly come here purpose, get up a few steps over, the door will be pulled open. Outside the house, there was indeed the smiling, long-bearded old man, and behind him were two other old men, one red-faced and white-bearded, and one hunchbacked and eerie.
”Three of you, please come in!” Without first asking the other party about their intentions, Han Li graciously and directly let the several people in.
”This is Fellow Daoist Mei, isn’t it!” As soon as the three people saw Mei Ning in the room, they showed a few stunning colors, but then they saluted as if they were normal.
Mei Ning scopolamine returned a salute, to Han Li’s side of a natural stop, and did not say much, a look to Han Li’s main appearance, see these three old man thoughtfully looked at each other.
Waiting for these three to sit down on the chair, Han Li then looked at the other two and slowly asked, “These two are also ……”
”Fellow Daoist Han guessed correctly, these two are fellow Daoists from the Great Kingdom of Jin, a Fellow Daoist Yun from the Heavenly Rune Sect and a Fellow Daoist Jin from the Four Seas True Academy.” The long-bearded old man opened his mouth to introduce them.
Han Li nodded his head in a gesture, and these two also carefully sized up Han Li for a few moments, and were equally polite and cheerful.
”Three fellow Daoists, coming here together, is there something important?” Han Li asked without moving his expression.
Hearing Han Li’s words, these three subconsciously looked at each other, and after a moment, the long bearded old man coughed dryly and said with great meaning, “Do you know that Fellow Daoist Han, the village’s Elder Feng, who specializes in teaching martial arts, was suddenly bitten alive by a nameless monster bug yesterday. I heard that this strange insect took advantage of his sleep and suddenly bit through his throat, and died an extremely miserable death.”
”Oh! There is such a thing? I wonder what kind of strange insect is so powerful!” Han Li’s expression didn’t change at all as he said faintly under his breath, causing the three people across the street to mutter in their hearts, unable to tell at all if it really had anything to do with Han Li.
”This is not quite clear, because by the time the others heard the sound and went over, Elder Feng had already gulped his breath. There were only a few village people who saw a flying insect fly out of his wound. Although the insect was hacked a few times with a weapon, it was exceptionally hard and flew away without any damage. Because it was drenched in blood, no one could clearly see the exact appearance of this insect.” Without blinking an eye, the long-bearded old man stared at Han Li and slowly asked. The other two looked at Han Li with similarly grave expressions without saying a word.
”What, could it be that the three of you thought it was my doing and came to the door to ask for punishment.” Han Li’s expression remained unchanged as he leaned back and said lazily.
”How could it be! The three of us absolutely believe that it wasn’t Fellow Daoist Han who did this matter. It’s that it was really done by Fellow Daoist, and the three of us are still too happy about it. That mortal surnamed Feng relies on some martial arts skills and has always been disrespectful to several of us, so it’s just as well that he’s dead.” The old man’s face changed slightly and he snorted.
Hearing this, Han Li’s eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at them without immediately interfacing anything.
And after the long-bearded old man’s eyes turned slightly, he said tentatively, “But we heard someone say that yesterday, that Elder Feng seemed to have made a trip to Fellow Daoist’s house, and then came out with his head hanging down. And when we examined this person’s body today, we found that his arm had actually been broken. It seems that Brother Han, despite having lost his magical power, has another formidable means ah!”
Hearing the other party say so, Han Li raised both eyebrows. It seemed that these few people still had some power in the village, going so far as to even know something about the middle-aged man with the surname Feng having entered his house yesterday and then being thwarted.
”Are the three fellow Daoists traveling here just for this matter? If there’s something, why don’t you just say it explicitly, I’m not interested in beating around the bush all the time.” Han Li was silent for a moment, his voice cold.
”This …… “The long bearded old man and the others heard Han Li speak so frankly it, they couldn’t help but look at each other up, and everyone had a hesitant look on their faces.
”Since you are unwilling to say, Mister Han is not forced, a few friends please return.” Han Li was unwilling to dwell on it, and said again with a look of impatience on his face.
Perhaps Han Li’s words finally caused the other party to make a choice, and the hunchbacked, gloomy old man suddenly spoke, “Fellow Daoist Han, I wonder if you’re interested in ruling this village with us.”
”What do you mean?” Han Li frowned upon hearing this, but had actually vaguely guessed the other party’s meaning.
”Since we’re both cultivators, I’ll be honest with you. I’m sure that you have also seen the several elders in the village, except for that Grand Elder who relied on coming a bit earlier than the few of us and was able to take control of the village, the rest of the cultivators’ status in the village was exactly the same as those of the mortals, with the same starvation and satiation, and even letting us risk going out to hunt and kill the Yin Beasts. Contrary to this, we can only cast spells to rely on the netherworld beast crystal, but in the hands of a few mortals, this is simply like a thief, guard against us, it is simply a great shame for us. Since this is the case, we cultivators and so on simply unite, completely grasp the power of the village. I don’t know, Fellow Daoist Han, what do you think?” The long-bearded old man saw that his companion had already divulged some information, so he no longer hid his true intentions.
