131 Bounty Hunting Prologue (2/2)
”…”
”Let's bring them to a physician for a checkup first. If they're pregnant, I can't let them work, okay?”
Cao Mao facepalmed. He wanted to retort that when they had sex, those girls didn't care about hardworking or being rough. In fact, last night, some of them still begged him to pound them as hard as possible.
As much as Cao Mao wanted to get back on Wei Yuan, he wasn't fond of picking a fight with women, especially someone he cared for.
”Fine. None of you have to work. Go check your bellies if you get fertilized.”
”YAAAY!!”
…
Almost a month had passed.
Yu Shun's propaganda spread throughout the land. Many agents, spies, and disciples of orthodox sects visited Yeet City to confirm the news.
Everybody had sketched portraits of Wei Yuan and Xu Miao. However, they were based on their last-seen appearance. Xu Miao had long white hair, a feminine pretty face, and pale skin. Meanwhile, Wei Yuan had long straight blond hair, blue eyes, jade-white skin, and unique beauty, which made every man drool in lust.
Despite having so much information about them, nobody had a clue where this ”Wei Yuan” and ”Xu Miao” could be.
Several spies infiltrated the inner sect and the outer sect for clues. Again, they couldn't find anyone who had the same look like the portraits. It baffled the bounty hunters and the investigators.
While cultivators kept flocking into the Yeet City, the Myriad Cauldron Sect forbad them from entering the outer disciple area. As a result, the outskirt district was packed with visitors. Combining with the upcoming event of the sect, hotels, inns, and motels were all booked. Many people had to sleep on the streets or outdoor at night.
When more people with strength gathered, trouble ensued. Every hour, someone would start a fight or cause a scene. The majority of incidents concentrated in pubs and taverns as alcohol was the source of misjudgment.
In one of the taverns, a group of girls gathered as they had completed their mission. Unfortunately, due to the influx of people and disciples from various sects, they did not dare to leave or they might attract unwanted attention.
Xiong Zhenzhen and the Virgin Yin disciples covered their heads, faces, and bodies with old hoods and cloaks, hiding their gender and beauty. They blended in the crowd, which wore similar clothes.
Xiong Zhenzhen's colleagues were trembling in fear. The lives of female cultivators were difficult as they could get violated anywhere, any place, and any time. Even with a 5th-stage fighter as their guardian, they were nervous when they stayed in a crowded place with many strong cultivators.
The girls were talking in a hushed voice.
”Senior Xiong, we can't wait anymore! Let's leave!”
”Yes! The longer we wait, the more people arrive! If we don't leave now, someone might have barged into our room and find out about our identities.”
Xiong Zhenzhen also felt the brewing tension. She agreed, ”We have no choice anymore. Let's risk it and return.”
Hearing the approval, the girls were relieved.
But one of the members had the other idea.
”I'll stay. Sorry.”
Xiong Zhenzhen and all disciples turned to the masked person. It was Xie Tian, who had been helping them.
”Xie Tian. I know that the Zhu Clan doesn't like you, and you don't want to return. I hope that you can cooperate with us.”
”That's not what I meant. You girls should leave, but I'll continue staying,” Xie Tian shook his head. He hinted that he wanted to part ways.
”You still have trouble controlling the corrupted Qi. If it goes out of control again, nobody can stop you.”
”I'm fine. After I've broken through to the 3rd-stage a few days ago. My mind is a lot clearer.”
Almost a month had passed since the day Cao Mao met with Yu Shun. Currently, Xie Tian's strength was level 1 of the meridian establishment realm. All of his internal injuries had been healed by Ju Shoufen, whom they had visited and requested for pills.
Although Xie Tian experienced setbacks, he got stronger again.
”What's the point of staying here? Do you still want to kill Xu Miao? You know that he's also a victim, right?”
”…”
Xie Tian didn't say anything. He only stared at the ceiling in a daze.
Unable to figure what was on Xie Tian's mind, Xiong Zhenzhen gave up persuading him.
”Alright. If you want your vengeance that badly, I won't stop you. But know this, revenge isn't always the right choice. If you fail, you'll face a fate worse than death. If you succeed, what awaits you is emptiness. There's also a chance that both sides misunderstand each other.”
”…”
Xie Tian continued to ignore her.
Xiong Zhenzhen sighed. She turned to her colleagues, ”Let's go.”
The girls stood up and left the tavern with haste, leaving Xie Tian alone in the tavern.
Seeing the girls leaving, Xie Tian paid for the bills and returned to his room. When he was alone, he took out a brochure, which he had picked randomly from taverns.
It was an advertisement brochure of the harvest event, the same event that Ju Shoufen had invited Cao Mao to participate in.
The event would start tomorrow morning.
'I'll join this harvest event. Ten refined stones for rare herbs are cheap.'
It would be the best time for him to acquire more resources for his training. Xie Tian planned to join the harvest event as well.
