Chapter 67
The streets were teeming with pedestrians.
Luo Qingchen quickly left that area and disappeared into the bustling crowd.
The identity of the Demonic Sect has been revealed; it is not advisable to linger here.
He quickened his pace and headed towards the city gate.
In the past, upon hearing those words from the other party, he might have had some other thoughts.
But now, he is completely unmoved.
Because he would almost instinctively and immediately look to the darkest and dirtiest places to ponder the other party's purpose.
One hundred thousand taels of silver?
Using a marriage certificate for blackmail?
Hmph, let alone 100,000 taels of silver, he wouldn't give it even if it were just 10 taels.
As for the marriage certificate, it's just a piece of waste paper.
Who cares?
He's a demon, not a fool!
We finally arrived at the city gate.
He followed a group of merchants out of the city.
Outside the city gate, a guard named Cao Cheng was brandishing his whip and shouting at a refugee, telling him to get lost and stop begging at the city gate.
When Luo Qingchen returned, she went over to him and said, "I've already left the city. Can you return the one tael of silver I gave you earlier?"
Cao Cheng was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, then turned to look at him, narrowed his eyes, and sneered, "What, one tael of silver?"
Luo Qingchen said, "When I first entered the city, you took one tael of silver from me."
Cao Cheng immediately sneered, "Kid, are you trying to blackmail me? I've never even seen you before, when have I ever taken a single tael of silver from you? Why would I take a single tael of silver from you?"
Luo Qingchen stared at him without saying anything more.
"Heh heh, you little punk, you're thinking of spending a few days in jail? Trying to extort me?"
Cao Cheng drew his whip from his waist, his eyes flashing with a fierce light.
The guard next to him quickly pulled him aside and advised, "That's enough, that's enough."
Then he waved to Luo Qingchen and said, "Let's go."
Luo Qingchen glanced at the other person again, then left quickly without lingering.
I heard two people talking behind me.
"Brother Cheng, those are disciples of the Demon-Slaying Sect, how dare you..."
"So what if he says it's him? Even if he is, so what? He's just a lackey of the Demonic Sect. Does he dare to cause trouble in my Qinghe City? We have quite a few people from the five major sects in our city now. What are we afraid of!"
Luo Qingchen kept looking at the refugees on both sides as she walked forward.
Does he also have to do what Tian Feng or the other disciples did, first find several medicine people and take them to a cave to cultivate using their blood?
Wait until the one-month deadline is almost up, then let them kill each other.
Keep the strongest one and bring him back to Medicine Man Town to be the final Medicine Man chosen?
Looking at the refugees, all of them pale, thin, and weak, he felt that taking them to raise Gu poison and extract blood was obviously not a realistic idea.
It would be difficult to even get to the mountains.
The sun overhead began to gradually sink downwards.
Someone came out of the city.
Some people also entered from outside the city.
Just then, a thin girl suddenly rushed out of a dilapidated tent on the right side of the road. She ran to the city gate, crying, "Please! Save my father! He hasn't eaten for days. Can I go into the city and ask him for a steamed bun?"
"roll!"
Cao Cheng was talking to another guard when he heard this. He turned around and lashed out with his whip, striking the little girl's cheek with a "crack".
A bloody mark suddenly appeared on the little girl's dirty cheek.
She covered her face, her expression filled with terror, yet she still cried out, trembling, "Please, my father..."
"Snapped!"
Before she could finish speaking, Cao Cheng lashed out with his whip again, shouting angrily, "I told you to get out! Didn't you hear me?"
The little girl knelt down with a thud, crying and kowtowing as she begged for mercy.
Cao Cheng raised the whip in his hand again, but suddenly put it down.
He stuck out a foot, propped it against the little girl's chin, lifted her cheek, stared at her closely for a few moments, and grinned, "Is your father starving to death?"
The little girl nodded tearfully, "Yes, please, please let me in..."
"You won't get any food even if you go inside!"
Cao Cheng put away his whip and laughed, "Get up. Take me over there. I have a steamed bun here; see if it can save his life."
Upon hearing this, the little girl was both surprised and delighted. She hurriedly kowtowed to express her gratitude, then got up and ran towards the tent not far away, excitedly shouting, "Daddy! Daddy! There are steamed buns! There are steamed buns to eat!"
Just as Cao Cheng was about to follow, the guard beside him warned, "Be careful, he might be sick."
Cao Cheng chuckled and said, "He's obviously a virgin. He can run and bark. What illness could he have? You keep watch over him. I'll be right back. I've been holding back for days."
After saying that, he swaggered off after the little girl.
"Guard! Here! Here!"
The little girl waved at the tent entrance, then went inside, excitedly exclaiming, "Daddy, Daddy! There's steamed bun to eat! Wake up! Wake up!"
Cao Cheng arrived at the tent, looked around, bent down, and crawled inside.
The refugees nearby, though they could tell what he was about to do, remained expressionless and showed no reaction.
They were used to this.
If they could actually get a steamed bun to eat, most of the women here would probably be willing.
"Father! Father! Wake up!"
Inside the tent, no matter how the little girl called out, the man on the ground did not open his eyes.
He died long ago.
Cao Cheng approached and took a look, then sneered, "Stop shouting, the person is already dead."
The little girl was struck dumb.
Then, she shook her head, crying, "No! No! My father isn't dead! He's not dead! He's just asleep! Waaah..."
Then she grabbed the man's tattered clothes, shook him, and cried out, "Daddy! Daddy! Wake up! Wake up! There's steamed bun to eat! Waaah..."
Cao Cheng said impatiently, "Alright, alright, stop shouting, it's so noisy!"
As he spoke, he grabbed her, threw her on the ground beside him, and began to take off his own pants.
The little girl froze, stopped crying, and looked at him with a terrified expression, saying, "What...what are you going to do?"
Cao Cheng chuckled and said, "Don't be afraid, play with Uncle for a while, and Uncle will go buy you some steamed buns later, big and white ones!"
After saying that, he pounced on her.
Before he could even pounce on the little girl, a hand suddenly grabbed his neck from behind, freezing him in place.
Cao Cheng was startled and hurriedly reached for his sword.
"Clang!"
The knife was pulled out.
However, the sharp blade sliced through his throat as easily as cutting tofu.
He opened his mouth wide, as if trying to shout for help.
But a torrent of blood was already gushing from his mouth, blocking his throat.
He opened and closed his mouth with a "hoarse" sound, his eyes wide with terror, and he twisted his head forcefully, trying to see the person behind him clearly.
When he saw the face behind him clearly, his already wide eyes widened even more.
"Why did you steal my one tael of silver?"
The voice behind him was icy and chilling.
He opened his mouth wide, as if to speak, but his head suddenly tilted to the side and fell off his neck.
Luo Qingchen cut off his head directly.
The little girl was already hungry and dizzy, and the grief and fear she felt caused her to faint from the horror of the scene.
Luo began sucking blood early in the morning.
The corpse on the ground was quickly drained of blood and turned into a dried-up corpse.
Then they began searching him.
Including the one or two taels of silver he had given to the other party earlier, a total of seven taels of silver were found.
He now has a total of 11 taels of silver.
The ten taels of silver owed to Manager Qiu has finally been settled.
After putting away the silver, he raised his eyes and looked at the little girl who had already fainted.
"Kill her, and continue sucking her blood?"
This thought unconsciously jumped out from the bottom of my heart.
