Chapter 91 Black Hair - The fireball burned and tumbled, until...
The fireball burned and tumbled until finally, only a wisp of black hair remained, its center burned into a hard knot with a red bell mark.
Lu Qing stomped on it and twisted it hard a few times, saying, "I'll teach you to be arrogant and cause trouble."
The black-haired boy tried to resist, but the bell mark flashed red, the boy twitched violently, and then immediately became obedient, lying on the ground pretending to be dead.
Lu Qing's chest heaved with anger. She turned to look at Wu Chen and the others, "How are you?"
None of the three were in good condition; their clothes were disheveled and stained with blood. They lay among a pile of corpse puppets, looking utterly wretched.
Wu Chen pushed away the corpse puppet that was pressing down on him and stood up. "How are you?"
"I'm in bad shape." Seeing that the three of them were still alive and breathing, Lu Qing's eyes flashed with a fierce light. "This damn thing dared to lay a hand on you. I'll kill her."
Yu Jitang groaned as he got up. "She's long dead."
Oh, that makes sense.
Lu Qing stared at the clump of black hair. "Then tie her to a wooden stick and make her a handle for cleaning night soil."
"No!" the black-haired man cried out in anguish. "A scholar can be killed but not humiliated."
Lu Qing spat at her, "What kind of scholar are you? You've killed so many people here. And you even dared to molest my Wu Chen."
The woman with black hair cried out, "You are also a woman, how can you be so heartless and without compassion! I encountered the wrong people and died a tragic death. There is no greater sorrow than a broken heart. Even if I did some excessive things, it is understandable..."
This is something I've spoiled myself into into a problem!
Lu Qing, too lazy to waste words, pressed Bai Yuling down on top of her, burning her into a ball of fire once again. Strangely enough, although her black hair was burned terribly and wailing incessantly, a single strand remained that she couldn't burn away no matter what she did.
Lu Qing spat, "With such a character, even if I were a man, I wouldn't be interested. Truly a scourge for a thousand years."
Qi Ying exclaimed in a low voice, "My lord, you're bleeding a lot from your back."
Lu Qing disregarded her black hair and rushed over to check on Wu Chen's condition.
Wu Chen had several claw marks on his back, his clothes were torn, and the fabric was stuck to his flesh and blood, making him look particularly gruesome. Lu Qing simply ripped his clothes in two with a whoosh, revealing his lean back.
The black-haired man's screams stopped, replaced by a sound that seemed to be drooling.
Lu Qing glared at them fiercely, his black hair twitched, and he continued to scream in agony.
Lu Qing carefully examined the wounds. Although the cuts looked serious, they hadn't damaged any bones or tendons. She quickly took out her best medicine and cleaned and bandaged Wu Shen's wounds.
Wu Chen didn't stop her, only feeling a cool sensation on his wound, which greatly reduced the pain. He sincerely commented, "It seems you really worked hard in Medicine King Valley."
Lu Qing casually tossed a bottle of medicine to her fellow sufferers who were helping each other, then carefully bandaged Wu Chen's wounds, saying, "Of course, you don't even know whose wife I am."
Wu Chen lowered his head and laughed.
The two people felt a tingling sensation all over their bodies, especially when they saw Lu Qing carefully bandaging Wu Chen like an embroiderer, and then looked at their own wounds that were tied up like pig's trotters or rice dumplings. There was no harm without comparison.
Surrounded by a pile of corpse puppets, the four of them tidied themselves up again. Wu Chen changed his clothes. Yu Jitang and Qi Ying looked at the corpse puppets on the ground and discussed what to do.
Leaving it like this is definitely not an option. When this black-haired creature was first buried here, it must have been just an ordinary corpse, but over time, it has become so powerful. These corpse puppets were originally cultivators, and they were killed by her. Their bodies are already stiffened. If we leave them like this, something bad will probably happen in a few years.
“Burn them,” Wu Chen said. “Although it’s somewhat disrespectful to the corpses, they certainly wouldn’t want to become such monsters.”
The black-haired girl curled up to one side, continuing to play dead.
Lu Qing could now control her through the peace bell. With a thought, the black hair immediately wailed, "Don't burn me, don't burn me! Just tell me what you want, and I'll do it!"
Wu Chen said, "Arrange all these corpse puppets in one place."
The black-haired girl muttered, "Couldn't you have burned the food somewhere else? I still need to live here! Ah... ah... ah... I'll do it, I'll do it!"
The black hair slowly grew back, and it bound all the corpse puppets with the black hair, dragging them over and stacking them one by one.
Yu Jitang and Qi Ying both shuddered at the sight, gripping their swords tightly to prevent any further complications.
This time, however, the black-haired girl didn't dare to cause any trouble. The overwhelming spiritual power Lu Qing had just unleashed, along with the restrictions from the Peace Bell, made her acutely aware that this girl was not to be trifled with. She now only wanted to humble herself and send them away as quickly as possible. As for these corpse puppets, she could simply burn them and collect them later.
After the corpse puppets were piled up, the black-haired man heard Lu Qing suddenly say, "Grow some more."
"What?"
"I told you to grow some more hair. Can't you see this place is all rocks and there's no firewood?" Lu Qing glared at her.
Black Hair felt aggrieved and wanted to cry. Although she had become a monster, it still required power to grow long. Moreover, she had just been ravaged and abused, and it would take time for her to absorb spiritual energy to recover.
But Lu Qing clearly had no intention of showing her any "sympathy." Helpless, the black hair could only grow desperately, eventually collapsing on the ground from exhaustion.
Lu Qing didn't even bother to light a fire, simply pressing the peace bell onto the black-haired "head" again. Golden-red flames instantly erupted, and the black-haired man screamed in agony as the flames burned. The flames spread from the black-haired man to the corpse puppet, which instantly burst into flames and quickly turned into a pile of ashes.
Watching the corpse puppet burn was definitely not a pleasant experience. But at least one hidden danger was eliminated. Yu Jitang and Qi Ying both breathed a sigh of relief, and then they saw Lu Qing squatting on the ground, poking at the clump of black hair with a ruler.
"What should we do with this thing?" Lu Qing really wanted to burn it, but even after setting two fires, it still wouldn't burn and remained curled up on the ground like a clump of withered grass.
Wu Chen thought for a moment, "Didn't you say you wanted to make a brush? Take her with you."
"No!" the black-haired man wailed, "I know I was wrong, and I will never do it again. Please, have mercy and let me stay here to repent. I will never..."
Lu Qing chuckled, "I've heard countless of these toothache curses, men and women, all sorts of variations, no different from grinding your teeth or farting. Besides, so many lives have been lost at your hands, do you think you can just let it go like this? Every cause has its effect, and your retribution is me. Go inside!" She took out a spirit pouch and used a ruler between her eyebrows to tuck her black hair inside.
The black-haired girl shrieked, "You're so insidious!"
As Lu Qing tapped the spirit pouch with the peace bell, the pouch immediately flattened like a fallen leaf and fell silent.
Yu Jitang breathed a sigh of relief. "My goodness, I'm never running around like this again. Shall we go now?"
Lu Qing carefully put away the spirit pouch. "No rush. So many people have died at her hands, and even their bodies didn't escape. The things she always carried must be nearby. Hurry up."
Wu Chen said slowly, "It's already burned. Isn't it a bit too late for you to start looking for it now?"
Lu Qing slapped her forehead. "Oh dear, why didn't you remind me sooner! No, if I don't search around, I won't be able to sleep tonight."
As she spoke, she ran inside and began rummaging through the rubble.
Wu Chen shook his head, gesturing for Qi Ying to go and help.
Yu Jitang was too embarrassed to compete with Lu Qing for the goods. He glanced at Wu Chen and said, "At this rate, the title of the richest person in the world will have to change hands."
Wu Chen calmly replied, "That's why it's called settling down and starting a career."
That's utterly shameless!
Yu Jitang felt that he had to put aside all sense of shame in front of this couple, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to smell the aroma of meat or soup, let alone eat meat and drink soup. So Yu Jitang stopped arguing with him and went to search for the food as well.
Wu Chen didn't stop him. He stretched his back and felt that his injuries had improved significantly, so he stopped paying attention to them. He bent down, picked up his torn clothes, and burned them. Then he carefully examined the underground palace.
