Chapter 5 (2/2)

And that sword. It is a devilish sword, a demonic sword!

Zhou Xuanji saw their expressions. He could not help but shake his head.

He walked toward the three corpses and searched them.

He finally found three coin pouches and put them into the Supreme Storage.

After this sequence of events, it was clear that he could no longer stay in Green River Village.

You could only travel the world with ease when you have money.

“Could you help me settle this?” Zhou Xuanji asked.

The villagers heard him and began to flee in panic.

He sighed. His Crimson Dragon Sword flew back and stopped before him, disappearing. Pausing, he turned around and walked toward Little Jiang Xue.

Little Jiang Xue opened up her fingers and peeked through the gap between them. When she saw him walking toward her, she threw her arms around him and wailed loudly.

He patted her back and comforted her, saying, “Don’t be scared, you have me here.”

Zhou Xuanji thought that after she had seen that he killed people, she would distance herself from him. To his surprise, it was the opposite.

This moved his heart.

In her heart, she took him to be her younger brother.

Little Jiang Xue calmed down only after much comforting.

She asked nervously, “Brother, you killed them, government soldiers will be coming to capture you.”

Government soldiers?

He burst out in laughter.

Although the Great Zhou Empire controlled tens of kingdoms, and the kingdoms controlled many cities, and there were countless towns and villages under the control of cities, the government’s soldiers did not have much power.

Especially in peripheral areas.

After all, this is a world of cultivation. The strong reigns supreme.

As long as you are strong, there will be countless powerful organizations that would bring you in, regardless of what evil you did.

In contrast to Earth, this world is undoubtedly more ruthless.

“Now we need to run away. Are you going to follow me?” Zhou Xuanji asked seriously.

For him, the most critical mission is to stay alive. As he ages, he will surely become stronger.

He could only adventure into populated areas after he becomes strong enough to protect himself.

“We are going to run away? But if grandma comes back…”

Little Jiang Xue was hesitating. Although Crazy Old Woman did not fulfill her responsibility toward Little Jiang Xue, she was her only living family.

No, there is one more family member.

Zhou Xuanji said, “Sister, if we don’t leave, and are caught, isn’t that giving more trouble to your grandma? If something were to happen to you, how sad would she be?”

He put a smile on his face, but inside his heart, he was furiously berating Crazy Old Woman.

He could have enjoyed a happy childhood in Green River VIllage, but now he got involved in all this trouble, purely because of the mess that Crazy Old Woman left behind!

When he thought about what Little Jiang Xue was muttering about in her dream, he was even angrier.

This old woman was as loathsome as Emperor Yan of Zhou!

Little Jiang Xue thought about it and nodded, “Give me a short while. Let me pack things up.”

After she finished speaking, she turned and went back to the wooden hut, intentionally avoiding looking at the three corpses.

“Sword Spirit, can I put the entire house into Supreme Storage?”

Zhou Xuanji stared at the hut that they were living in and asked.

He lived here for three months and had developed feelings for the hut.

After this, he planned to hide in the mountains for a few years. It would be excellent if they could have a house to live in.

“Yes, you can.”

The Sword Spirit answered, which made him feel ecstatic.

“Sister! Stop packing! Come out quick!”

Zhou Xuanji shouted. Little Jiang Xue, who just entered the hut, walked out again after she heard him.

Confused, she asked, “Why? Aren’t we running away?”

He held her small hands, and commanded in his heart, “Sword Spirit, store the house!”

The wooden hut disappeared before Little Jiang Xue’s eyes, and she shuddered.

“Don’t worry, I know spells. I stored the house.”
