"Ah, I know, is it that young man or that pretty young woman?" the older woman said.
The others suddenly realized.
Upon hearing this, the Bauhinia tribesman nodded and said, "By your human standards, the person outside is indeed a young man."
Everyone exchanged glances, waiting for someone to speak up and ask the Zijing Clan to let them in. After all, Liu Bolong was still in charge here. If they rashly accepted them, they didn't know if Liu Bolong would be displeased with their overstepping their bounds when he returned. Secondly, the two of them had been abandoned by everyone back then, and it would be very awkward to meet again now. They felt somewhat guilty.
Just as they were hesitating, a male voice that was indescribably pleasant came from outside the door. To everyone, this voice was more attractive than any male celebrity they had ever heard. It had masculine strength, but also feminine gentleness. It was androgynous, yet not quite.
The mere sound of a righteous voice made them momentarily dazed, and at the same time, their shame intensified. A person with such a voice must be a person of high moral character, and yet they had abandoned such a person.
Just as they were inexplicably filled with self-blame, their brains processed the information and they understood what the voice was saying. Their faces instantly turned as unlucky as those of the unluckiest people in the game.
"I heard there's a bunch of pubic hairy guys inside?"
PS:
PSA: I wonder if any Onmyoji players can share their joy...
Well, I just completed the entire collection and got the Grand Onmyoji achievement XD. Turns out, I'm not that unlucky after all...
There is one more chapter.
Chapter 249 [Third Update] You've looked at me, you're seducing me!
"How can this person speak so rudely!"
In an instant, everyone's face turned very ugly. You think you're so great just because you have a nice voice? You think you're so awesome just because you're handsome and can make a living off your looks? Let me tell you, even a perfect 10 in looks is only a few points less than yours after Photoshop.
Soon, footsteps approached, and a young man who perfectly matched their memory of the one they had abandoned at the starting point appeared before them.
Compared to when it was asleep, it seems to have gained a more indescribable aura.
The younger woman among the seven glanced at him unintentionally, her heart pounded faster, her legs rubbed together a few times, and her face flushed.
She felt that this big boy's eyes had a kind of bewitching quality, a captivating and alluring quality.
The legendary auntie, who was clearly an expert in square dancing, also had a flushed face and murmured, "If it weren't for the children I have to raise, I would definitely stay with you until old age. I think only a woman from Jiangnan, nicknamed Little Cuihua, could be worthy of such a handsome man."
Everyone else stared at her barrel-shaped figure, and were shocked: how could there be such an incredibly resilient face?
"Oh, what's wrong with me?" Suddenly, the woman came to her senses. "Why did I just act like I was in heat? Could it be...?"
Thinking of a certain possibility, the middle-aged woman suddenly exclaimed in horror: "You've taken a fancy to my good looks and are trying to seduce me?"
"Yes, you're seducing me!"
“Since you seduced me, you have to take responsibility,” the woman said, fidgeting for a moment.
"..."
Li Wei went up.
"Huh? You want to kiss me on the lips?"
Just a slap.
Snapped!
Li Wei thought for a moment, but it didn't seem like enough to vent his anger, so he slapped him again.
"God said that when you slap someone, you must slap the other face too, and he was right."
"It felt so good after those two slaps."
"..."
The shrewd old man among the seven stepped forward at this moment, and said with a stern face, "Young man, if you want revenge for our dissatisfaction at abandoning you back then, that's enough."
"You know, no one knew how long you would be unconscious. We had no choice but to do this. Otherwise, why would we have so easily abandoned our compatriots?"
"I hope you can understand the situation. We are not ungrateful people."
The old man hadn't lived in vain; although he wasn't particularly shrewd, he spoke with a certain flair, and he even secretly cursed Li Wei for being unreasonable.
If Li Wei hadn't remembered that during their half-asleep, half-awake conversation, aside from Qin Qingyu, everyone was eager to leave him there to fend for himself, Li Wei might have actually believed his nonsense.
"You mean I'm being unreasonable?" Li Wei replied.
“I didn’t say that,” the old man said, keeping a straight posture. This was a negotiation trick he had discovered, which could increase his presence when talking to people.
So Li Wei slapped him again, justifying his actions.
It's not that he's vengeful or anything; people are afraid of death, and it's normal for him to abandon a stranger like him when he first arrived in such a mysterious place. It's just that he didn't have a good impression of the old man. First, he made Li Wei finish beating the old woman before speaking, which clearly showed that he didn't want to offend Li Wei. After all, a young man who could walk such a long way to get here on his own must have something special about him. Second, his words were also a way of giving Li Wei a warning and implying that they had the upper hand in terms of numbers.
To put it bluntly, people who act this way, with their elaborate schemes, are definitely not good people.
"You...you hit me?" The old man looked incredulous. Based on his past experience, although his words might provoke some hatred, most people would be rendered speechless by his words and would be suppressed in terms of status. Even if they abandoned the other party first, they would still be in the right because of what he said. At the same time, he could also vaguely establish the impression that he was the second leader after Liu Bolong.
What was originally a foolproof plan was stunned by Li Wei's slap.
"You, you, you don't even know how to respect the elderly, and you're being quite unreasonable!" The old man pointed at Li Wei with trembling fingers, and the others also glared angrily at Li Wei.
The middle-aged woman doing square dancing looked particularly angry: "You bastard, you got so angry when your seduction failed that you started hitting me!"
Li Wei went up and slapped him again.
"I'm just being unreasonable, so what? Bite me, hit me, I deserve a beating, come on, come on!" Li Wei said confidently, making a face and sticking out his tongue repeatedly.
"A little bit..."
The old man almost had a heart attack from anger.
When the fat man saw the young woman looking at Li Wei with surprise and disappointment, he had a sudden thought: his chance to show off had come. He compared his own size with Li Wei's and realized that he was obviously overwhelming, so he went up to him.
"Hey, young man, I wasn't wrong, you're interested in that girl?" Li Wei said, pointing right at her.
The fat guy's face froze.
"Want to show off your masculine charm?" Li Wei said meaningfully.
"It might tip over?"
The fat guy's expression changed. Seeing Li Wei's unchanging demeanor, which seemed to indicate that he had something to rely on, he hesitated for a moment, and then sighed.
Indeed, even for love, I cannot resort to blind violence. That thought of resorting to force just now was so rude. I should be a refined gentleman, a gentleman under the moon.
You can't hit them, you can't hit them. As Lu Xun once said, it's wrong to bully others, especially when you're likely to lose and get fucked instead.
As he was thinking this, his hands, which were originally about to throw a punch, turned into a fist salute and said, "Brother, you're joking. I just came to say hello."
After saying that, he really did back down without feeling ashamed at all. It was as if he had just greeted everyone and shown off his intelligence and presence in such an awkward situation. It has to be said that he really did a great job of showing off, successfully earning the contempt of a group of people and his goddess.
Just as the atmosphere between the two sides reached a tense standoff, the Bauhinia tribesman spoke up, "My people are guarding the outside. How did you, a mere human, manage to get in?"
Everyone was immediately shocked!
Yes, how was this man let in without their permission?!
The Zijing tribesmen initially listened to them, and based on his aura, they sensed that the man was just an ordinary person. However… he realized that his tribesmen couldn’t possibly neglect their duties. Just as he was asking questions, he tried to contact the guard’s companion, but received no response.
"What...what did you do to them?"
"Haven't you heard the saying, 'There were originally no roads in the world, but if you block them enough, others will naturally make way for you'?"
PS:
PSS: Hmm... It feels like the last update was last year. To be honest, sometimes when I don't update for too long, I feel a bit afraid to update... I don't know why.
I think the exam is next month, and I still have seven books, each several hundred pages long, to finish reading... I'm a little annoyed. If I follow my family's arrangements, the future won't be great, but life will be comfortable. However, I'm not entirely content with that. It's not that I'm willing to be arranged for, but I'm unwilling to do a job that I really, really don't want to do. Although I know that having family arrangements is better than nothing...
I'm really conflicted.
Chapter 250 Those who offend me, shall be punished!
Li Wei's words sounded a bit strange, but it's not hard to understand that he was openly admitting that he had killed the guards outside!
"No, impossible!" The old man who had been slapped by Li Wei shouted out subconsciously. This was one of the few times he had lost his composure like this in all these years. Even after being slapped by Li Wei, he had never felt such turmoil in his heart.
“You and we were all in the same batch of new recruits. Even if we had good food and drink here and our physical fitness had been greatly improved, we still couldn’t have achieved this.”
The old man said firmly that, judging from the force with which Li Wei hit him, it was only slightly faster and stronger than that of an ordinary person. If it hadn't been so unexpected, he wouldn't have taken that hit. As for the old woman, she was completely stunned by the blow and didn't think of fighting back for a moment.
This is also the fundamental reason why that fat otaku is despised. They all get about the same benefits here. They are clearly not what they used to be, yet they still have to fear a "mortal".
And now, the fat guy inexplicably felt a sense of relief and triumph, as if to say, "Did you hear that? I may be fat, but I'm not so blinded by lard as to be blinded by my own ego."
It is said that a person's IQ is directly proportional to their weight. Lu Xun's famous saying is indeed true. Now it has saved his life. As for the coffin lid, he is very self-aware. With his weight, if he sits on it, even if he has ten times the strength, he can't push it open even a crack.
Upon hearing the old man's words, Li Wei immediately scoffed, "Who knows what you've been eating to end up like this?"
After hearing what Li Wei said, they became even angrier. He meant that they were like that thing, eating anything they couldn't tell what was going on.
Well, when they tried to argue back, they actually realized they didn't know what their food was called or what they were drinking...
The old man calmed himself down and forced a composed expression, saying, "You must have obtained some treasure here, right?"
"But I must tell you, the power of the Zijing clan is not as simple as you imagine. Moreover, such powerful treasures that can be obtained in the beginner dungeon and used by newbies are probably limited in number of times. So I advise you, young man, not to act impulsively."
This is a test.
“If you hand over the treasure, we can forgive your inability to do so. Moreover, it is only right and proper for the virtuous to possess the treasure.”
The old woman screamed like a pig being slaughtered: "Why bother talking to him so much? He dares to hit me! My beautiful face is no longer as lovely as Xi Shi's!"
Just as Li Wei was talking to the seven people, a fierce glint flashed in the eyes of the Zijing clansman. Putting aside the fact that Li Wei was not Liu Bolong's man, even if he were, so what? How dare he injure their clansman for no reason? He deserves to die!
In an instant, the clansman transformed into a faint purple shadow and attacked Li Wei. This punch was powerful enough to shatter rocks. Even if Li Wei's physique had been strengthened, he would still be hit with a loud thud.
However, Li Wei noticed the moment he made a move. His movements were as smooth as flowing water. With a turn, a raise of his hand, and a clench, he grabbed the man's fist.
bang——
When the fist struck Li Wei's palm, a wave of air rippled outwards.
The Zijing tribesmen shouted, "What are you all standing there for?! Hurry up and do something!"
No way? This alien race is clearly an opponent that even one person can't handle. Why are they being asked to take action? Moreover, they live in a peaceful era and have no combat experience. They really didn't react for a moment.
Fortunately, the old man was quite shrewd. He knew it was time to choose sides: whether to stand with his compatriots or with the Zijing Clan. Even a fool could see which side had the advantage: one side was an entire race, while the other was just a lone individual.
One person or one clan, which to choose? The answer is obvious!
"drink!"
The old man immediately roared, "Today, it's either him or us who die! What are you all doing yet?!"
As he spoke, the old man pulled a dagger from his pocket and threw it at Li Wei. He was smart and knew that he would not be a match for Li Wei in a head-on fight, so he let the Zijing clan member act as the main tank and he would support from the side.
For Li Wei, the dagger he threw was flying too slowly; he dodged it without much effort.
At this moment, the member of the Bauhinia Clan angrily said, "If you six don't make a move soon, even Liu Bolong won't be able to protect you afterwards!"
Upon hearing this, the six realized the gravity of the situation and hurriedly drew out their respective weapons, all of which had been specially crafted for them by Liu Bolong to increase their combat effectiveness in certain situations.
Unfortunately, Liu Bolong, whose ashes have all been lost, will never see these things.
"Are you all here to die too?" Li Wei suddenly glanced at them indifferently and said coldly.
"Going to your death?" Seeing that the others were wavering, the old man raised his voice and said, "Don't blame us. This world is about survival of the fittest. We don't want to fight other races, so we have no choice but to fight you. It's just that you've been too lawless and offended the wrong people. I advise you to surrender quickly. The Zijing Clan's reinforcements will arrive soon. Within the clan, there are countless powerful individuals that you can't even imagine, capable of splitting mountains and shattering the earth."
Ignoring the old man's words, Li Wei simply scanned everyone again and said, "For the sake of being fellow human beings, this is your last chance. Either get out... or... die!"
Li Wei's tone was arrogant, like that of an emperor: "How dare you ants offend me!"
As he said this, a purple light flashed in Li Wei's eyes, and an aura of dominance, as if he were standing between heaven and earth, was released.
Even the Bauhinia clansman couldn't help but tremble, as if he were truly a lowly creature who had inadvertently offended the emperor's majesty, and a sense of inferiority arose spontaneously in his soul.
However, the next second, he bit his lip, and blood flowed from his mouth. He then activated a secret technique of his clan, which helped him recover. He then used this technique to shout loudly, startling the seven people who were about to kneel down.
"A mere trick, yet you dare to spout such nonsense! Such methods are nothing but a joke in front of our High Priest!"
His words were not only meant to dampen Li Wei's spirits, but also to warn those others about the power of their Zijing clan.
"Humph!"
Li Wei remained noncommittal, but his eyes narrowed slightly when he saw that they were really planning to attack him.
"Execute him."
