Chapter 870 Not So Wild Anymore

"We were counting on him to protect us, but he's still a useless piece of trash even after devouring so many souls. I should have used that evil cultivation manual myself."

“He took the blame for us, and you benefited from it, so what are you complaining about? It’s better that he’s dead, so as not to implicate us.”

Song Che remained expressionless as he listened to his former fellow practitioner say such things.

Song Chunxue looked at Song Che in surprise and actually felt sorry for him.

"Ah...Quick, run! It's collapsed inside!"

Song Chunxue quickly pulled Song Che and ran outside.

Unexpectedly, Song Che waved his hand to block her arm, picked up the bronze sword beside him, and swiftly slashed at the person who had just cursed him.

"Song Che!"

"You're not dead yet?"

Song Che didn't speak, but gripped his sword with both hands and swung it at them with brute force.

"Heh, you're crippled even if you're not dead. You still want to fight me? You're asking for death!"

Seeing that Song Che's neck was about to be cut off, Song Chunxue rushed over, took out an ordinary longsword to block the attack, and then leaped up and kicked them, sending them flying several meters away.

A rumbling sound of collapse came from inside the passageway, and Song Chunxue dragged Song Che out.

As soon as they entered the garden, the people inside shouted arrogantly, "Stop right there!"

"Isn't that the young woman? She's got some strength. It's a pity she used to be a widow."

"Haha, Lord Xie just likes widows, maybe she..."

Song Chunxue flung out a peach branch to tie the person up and stuffed a pebble into their mouth.

"Mind your own business!" She kicked them hard in the face.

Song Che, standing to the side, spoke coldly, "Kicking won't kill them. Just pierce their temples, capture their souls, and make them never forget it for all eternity."

This tactic is too ruthless; Song Chunxue disdains to use it.

"Do you know that on New Year's Eve, they planned to turn you into a prostitute and send you to Lord Xie? And you still have the heart to show them mercy?"

Song Chunxue ignored it, only slightly distracted.

In that instant, the two men she was beating threw a handful of powder at her.

"Cough...cough cough cough."

"Ugh~"

In the instant of dizziness, Song Chunxue experienced a brief moment of fear.

Didn't the eldest brother say that she would never fall for a drug again?

"Hahaha, the old nun can't take it anymore?"

The man with a bruised and swollen face stood up and reached out his hand to Song Chunxue.

"Poke his eyes, kick his groin, and smash his Adam's apple."

Wuyou's voice came through, carrying a hint of gloom.

"You have to rely on yourself in everything. If I fall into a deep sleep again, you will only be left helpless and furious."

Song Chunxue bit her tongue, and when she saw the man's hand so close to her, she had murderous intent. She directly used the peach branch to strangle their lower body.

"Aaaaaah! Let go! You fucking let go!"

"Let me go right now!"

Song Chunxue laughed and said, "You dare to play dirty tricks on me? You've really angered me!"

Song Che stood aside, watching quietly, showing no intention of helping.

"What are you standing there for? Come over here, grab his thigh and kick him hard in the inside of his thigh. Don't kill him, but make sure he doesn't get away with it."

Upon hearing the command, Song Che stepped forward and said calmly, "Yes, sir."

Subsequently, Song Che, driven by personal grudges, pinched and beat the two of them, making them cry out in pain.

In the end, he begged for mercy repeatedly.

"Please forgive us, gentlemen. We know we were wrong."

"Waaah, please, stop hitting me! My legs are swollen. If you keep hitting me, I'll never be a man again. I was wrong, I'm a beast, I offended Master Song, please have mercy and let me go."

Song Chunxue slowly stopped what she was doing, looked down at their faces which were as red as monkey bottoms from crying, and asked, "Whose people are you? Where are you going?"

"us……"

They had some reservations.

Song Che gripped their soft thighs hard with both hands. "I'm already like this, and you still expect me to have an easy time? Dream on."

"Aww~ Let go, Lord, let go, I'll tell you, I'll tell you."

"We are going to the mountains outside the city to continue serving King Xuan."

"Which mountain? Lead us the way." Song Che stood up. "If you're trying to fool us, then we'll have to castrate you and send you to the palace. Don't waste such young faces; other people might want to go, but they won't take them."

"You Song dog... Awooo~"

Song Chunxue looked at them with disdain, then looked at the unharmed Taoist Master Han.

"Let's go to the mountains."

...

That evening, Song Chunxue followed Master Han to the Zhao residence.

Fangyue shook her head as she looked at Song Chunxue's disheveled appearance.

"Master Han, where did you take my junior sister to play?" She picked the weeds from Song Chunxue's hair. "She hasn't officially joined the sect yet, so she doesn't need to work so hard."

I was supposed to take her out to play today, but Master Han intercepted the plan.

"I'll take you to play in the streets tomorrow. Senior Brother clearly said that he would start cultivating again after the Lantern Festival." There was a hint of complaint in her words. "Senior Brother, I'll take Junior Sister home first."

The term "junior sister" sounds quite unique, as if Song Chunxue isn't so wild anymore.

“Alright, take her out to have some fun tomorrow. It’s not too late for her to practice martial arts after the fifteenth.” Lord Zhao looked at the reluctant Taoist Han. “We have other things to do tomorrow.”

Fangyue placed her hand on Song Chunxue's back and led her outside.

"Okay, then I won't bother you any longer."

After walking a distance, Fangyue whispered, "I suspect that Master Han just uses you for fun when he's bored. Next time he wants to take you on a training trip, you can refuse."

Looking at her young face, Song Chunxue felt a little embarrassed.

She's older than everyone else, yet they treat her like a junior and protect her.

"Actually, I think it's great. I'm just idling around anyway. Although I'm older, I have little experience. Gaining more experience will give me more confidence."

Fangyue laughed, "You're not old at all. I'm more than ten years older than you, and I was old enough to give birth to you. Besides, experience takes time and can't be rushed."

More than ten years older?

How come she looks so young?

Fangyue, seeing her surprised expression, knew what she was thinking.

She reached out and placed her hand on Song Chunxue's shoulder. "You're dressed a bit old-fashioned, we look about the same age. Of course, in a few years, when your cultivation level increases significantly, you'll look even younger."

Song Chunxue knew that her senior sister was comforting someone; she looked to be only a few years older than Xie Lingyun.

"We've arrived. Go inside. I'll come find you tomorrow." Fangyue handed her a large gift box, "A New Year's gift."

Song Chunxue's face lit up with joy as she accepted the gift with both hands, saying, "Thank you, Senior Sister."

She then took out a two-foot-wide box from her storage ring. "I prepared this for you, Senior Sister. Please don't think it's too hasty."

Fangyue casually opened it, saw that it was full of gold and silver valuables and bracelets and jewelry, and then immediately closed it again.

"Senior Brother said you got a lot of good things from Song Che and were very generous to everyone. I didn't expect it to be true." Fangyue scolded her, "You need to learn to manage money and stop being so extravagant."

“I have more. Lord Xie is already hiring people to help me manage the money. I hope you don’t mind, Senior Sister.” Song Chunxue pointed to the Xie residence. “Let’s go inside and have a seat.”

"No, I'm going home to eat stinky tofu. I've been craving it all day, but I haven't had any because I was afraid the smell would be too strong. I'll take you to try it tomorrow," she said, lowering her head. "Tomorrow, wear the new clothes I gave you, and while you're at it, meet a woman and get an explanation for you."
