Chapter 1 Can you give me your earrings? They are my prey...
"Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean it."
In front of Jinxiu Pavilion, a young man accidentally bumped into a young man in elegant clothes. He clasped his hands together and apologized to the young man in a very natural manner. He backed away while apologizing. Just as he turned to leave, the young man shouted, "Stop right there! I bumped into you and I just said sorry and you're going to leave?"
After he finished speaking, the black-clad guards behind the young man slowly surrounded the young man, as if they were besieging him.
juvenile:"……"
He stopped and turned to look at the young man. The young man was very handsome, with red lips and white teeth, eyes as bright as ink, and a look of soaring spirit. Seeing this scene, he was not afraid at all. A bright smile appeared on his face, and a deep dimple appeared on his left cheek. He had a calm and unhurried demeanor. He asked, "What do you want to do?"
The young man glanced at the boy's somewhat tattered clothes and said contemptuously, "You stepped on my shoes. Do you know how expensive these shoes are? You can't afford even a single gold thread on them in your lifetime. I want you to kneel down and lick my shoes. Once you've licked them clean, I'll let you go."
Chi Yu: "..."
He didn't step on the young man's shoes at all. This man was just taking advantage of the situation to humiliate him.
But what's with this line? Why are there so many people?
Ling Hezhou, who was wearing the Soul Guardian Pearl earring beside his ear, whispered, "Just compensate him with some spirit stones and don't cause any trouble."
Chi Yu ignored him and said calmly, "What will you do if I don't kneel?"
The young master said in a sinister tone: "Then you will die miserably!"
Chi Yu: "Then you will die miserably."
Their voices rang out simultaneously.
Young Master: “…”
Chi Yu: "How dare you play tricks on me?"
Young Master: "How dare you play tricks on me?"
Chi Yu: "If you don't accept my toast, I'll drink the forfeit."
The young master was angry: "If you don't accept my toast, you will be punished..."
Young Master: “…”
Ling Hezhou was surprised: "How do you know what he will say?"
Before Chi Yu could say anything, the young master flew into a rage, "How dare you, a mere ant, imitate my tongue! Ding three, Ding four, break his legs and rip out his tongue!"
"Yes!" The guard stepped forward and was about to attack Chi Yu.
Ling Hezhou said anxiously: "Take out my protective magic weapon, quickly!"
Chi Yu immediately took out a stack of explosive talismans from the Sumeru Ring and deliberately revealed the front side.
"Top-grade explosive talisman?" The guard stopped in his tracks, a look of horror on his face. Talismans were rarely found in the market, and even if they were available, the quality was not high. A top-grade explosive talisman was already priceless, not to mention that the young man had a stack of them in his hand.
The guards were all connoisseurs, so they stopped and turned their eyes to the young man.
Although the young man was uneducated, he was knowledgeable. Like the guards, he recognized the top-grade explosive talisman in Chi Yu's hand. His face looked like an overturned palette of red, blue, green, and purple, and it was very ugly. He said through his teeth: "If you have the guts, let's go!"
And Chi Yu also muttered in unison: "If you have the guts, let's go."
Young Master: “…”
He was extremely angry, but was stopped by the guard behind him. This man had a stack of top-grade explosive talismans in his hand, and any inferior protective magic weapon could not withstand the damage, so why bother to confront him.
The young master never expected that after years of domineering in the city, he would actually run into an iron wall today. He could only endure it and leave with his people in hatred.
As soon as the young master left, the people watching the excitement dispersed, and Chi Yu walked leisurely into Jinxiu Pavilion.
The waiter at Jinxiu Pavilion watched the whole process and naturally saw Chi Yu's generosity, so he didn't give him a cold shoulder just because of his tattered clothes. Instead, he welcomed Chi Yu into the innermost "VIP room" with an especially attentive look.
Within an hour, Chi Yu had upgraded his clothes from the tattered robes he had taken from the dead bodies to the latest protective robes this year. The robes were decorated with silver and gold threads decorated with exotic flowers and plants, and the jade-white belt showed off his slender waist. The brocade clothes were a bit luxurious, but just right, complementing Chi Yu's beautiful and youthful face. What's more, he had a slender and tall figure, and looked like a young master from a wealthy family. However, his hair was short, as if he had been a monk for a short time, and he had lost some of his elegant temperament.
But it was also good. After all, when Chi Yu first came to this world, he was wearing only shorts and a T-shirt. In the eyes of the monks, he looked like an uncivilized savage. Fortunately, he was caught and made a pet.
Ling Hezhou remembered something and asked Chi Yu, "By the way, how do you know what he will say? Do you have the ability to read minds?"
Before Chi Yu could answer, he denied it himself, "Impossible, this is a forbidden technique. How could you, who just recently entered the first level of Qi Refining, be able to read minds?"
Chi Yu replied to Ling Hezhou, "This kind of person is pure cannon fodder. That's how it's written in novels."
Ling Hezhou: "Novel? Is it a storybook? - Hey, aren't you going back?"
Chi Yu said, "I'm not going back. I'm going to leave the city directly."
Ling Hezhou: "Why, why? There's still luggage left at the restaurant. Are you so stingy that you can just throw those things away?"
Chi Yu said in an aggrieved tone, "How am I stingy? You are slandering me, slandering me!"
Ling Hezhou felt that he couldn't understand Chi Yu.
He and Chi Yu were partners who met halfway. Chi Yu was digging up corpses along the way and happened to find him.
However, when he died, the protective magic weapon his father gave him was activated instantly. Even though he was still in the Golden Core Realm, it was able to conceal his soul. His fellow disciples were not so lucky. They all died, their limbs torn into pieces, their bodies exposed in the wilderness, and their bodies gnawed by monsters until not even a bone was left.
Chi Yu was a kind person. When he dug up the body, he would leave the clothes covering the body. After that, he would bury the body, erect a tombstone, burn incense and paper, and offer sacrifices.
In fact, this set of rules has no meaning in the world of cultivation. After all, once a cultivator who has not reached the Nascent Soul stage and has not specially cultivated the Nascent Soul dies, his body and soul will be destroyed. But Chi Yu is willing to do this, which shows that he is a kind-hearted person.
Seeing him like this, Ling Hezhou dared to call for help - this protective magic weapon also has a time limit. If it expires, he will die anyway.
With Chi Yu's help, Ling Hezhou's soul could shrink into the small soul-guarding bead and turn into a blood-red earring hanging under Chi Yu's fair and plump earlobe.
Chi Yu was a good person, but he had some bad habits Ling Hezhou simply couldn't understand. For example, he would pluck the feathers of passing geese, putting any common herb he saw in his pocket, claiming it was Ganoderma lucidum or ginseng that he could sell. For example, when he landed in a town, even if he already had a huge amount of spirit stones from corpses in his pocket, he would still bargain with others, and no one would dare to take advantage of him.
Just like just now at Jinxiu Pavilion, Chi Yu kept talking non-stop, and the owner of Jinxiu Pavilion gave him a lot of gifts. After giving them away, he looked very willing and smiled as he personally sent Chi Yu out the door.
Chi Yu was so stingy that he even dared to complain that he was slandering him. Ling Hezhou complained in his heart and changed the subject, asking, "Don't you really want the things? Didn't you say that the broken grass you spent so much time digging could be sold for money?" In fact, it couldn't be sold for much money. Perhaps only mortals would spend some gold and silver that were of no use to cultivators to buy this account.
Chi Yu stripped off many corpses and got a lot of Sumeru Ring storage bags in his hands - these things were naturally provided by Ling Hezhou and Ling Hezhou's fellow disciples. The people who killed them didn't loot the bags, so they must be rich people. Before them, Chi Yu could only strip off a bloody coat and the spirit stones hidden in the clothes that had escaped the net.
Chi Yu just robbed it this time and became a small rich man. However, their storage bag, the Xumi Ring, had a threshold and ordinary grass could not be put in, so Chi Yu could only carry it with him.
Chi Yu didn't feel bad at the moment, he could let it go easily, "No, that person must be blocking me."
Ling Hezhou understood, "No way? You scared them away, how dare they come to provoke you?"
Chi Yu laughed, his eyes twinkling brightly. "No one understands cannon fodder better than me."
Ling Hezhou really didn't understand what the word "点勾皮句" meant.
Ling Hezhou didn't know that on the night after they left the city, the men in black sent by the young master sneaked into the room in the restaurant where Chi Yu was staying under the cover of darkness.
A man in black asked in a voice transmission, "Are you sure it's this room?"
"It's this room."
Even in the dark night, the eyes of the man in black were full of ferocity. "How dare a tiny ant mess with the Ding family? Let's go and tear him into pieces."
They entered the room silently. The clanging of swords could be heard. Soon the room was lit up with bright lights. The man in black asked in surprise, "He didn't come back?"
Under the lights, everyone looked at each other.
*
At night, the clouds parted and the moon appeared, its silver light shone on the forest. A gentle breeze blew, the shadows of the trees danced, and the faint cry of crows made the surroundings even more silent and chilly.
Chi Yu continued on his way, and Ling Hezhou was talking to him in his ear, which was not so boring.
Ling Hezhou said, "You really don't want to join my Tianyan Sect? With me here, I can guarantee that you can reach the Golden Core Stage within ten years."
This is not an exaggeration. Ling Hezhou is a typical second-generation immortal and the young master of Tianyan Sect, one of the eight major immortal sects in Wangxianzhou. If he dares to say this, he can actually provide Chi Yu with the resources to practice until the Jindan stage.
Dharma, wealth, companions, and land, a sect to cultivate, and the resources to cultivate, are rare opportunities for anyone. Ling Hezhou was sincere in asking for this, and it could be considered as repaying Chi Yu's promise to return his Yuanpo to the Tianyan Sect.
But to Ling Hezhou's surprise, Chi Yu actually refused! He refused!
This made Ling Hezhou very puzzled, but Chi Yu had no intention of explaining to him. He just said that licking his bag as a reward was enough.
Now Ling Hezhou brought up the matter again, but Chi Yu still refused and skillfully changed the subject, asking him, "Was it the demon cultivator who killed you?"
He remembered Ling Hezhou mentioned that he and his fellow disciples were hunting down a demon cultivator.
Ling Hezhou's voice instantly tightened. "No, that demon cultivator wasn't very capable, and was quickly beheaded by my senior brother with a single strike. The one who killed us was someone else. He exuded a terrifying aura, but his cultivation wasn't high, probably only one or two realms higher than mine. He had no demonic energy, and his spiritual energy fluctuations were very strange. In a single encounter, we were completely wiped out."
Chi Yu: "...So you didn't even have time to fight back before you were killed instantly?"
"Yeah." Ling Hezhou's voice was filled with a hint of fear and uneasiness. "He's very strange. Just looking at him makes my soul tremble, as if being pricked by countless needles, and my internal organs seem to be melting. I've never seen such a person before."
Chi Yu asked, "What does she look like?"
Ling Hezhou said, "This man was dressed in black and wearing a mask. He was very tall, and seemed to be shrouded in a black mist, making it difficult to see anything more clearly. We also had a lot of spiritual stones and treasures on us, but we didn't see him pick up any of them after he died. This shows that he didn't kill or rob. There is only one possibility."
Chi Yu replied: "He is a sociopath and murderer."
Ling Hezhou almost understood what he meant. "Yes, even if he is not a demon cultivator, he should be killed. Moreover, he killed my brothers and sisters. I will report to the leader of Tianyan Sect and then deal with him."
Then he asked, "What about you? Since you don't plan to join my Tianyan Sect, what are your plans for the future?"
Chi Yu laughed and said in a relaxed tone: "I want to kill someone, and then I can go home."
Ling Hezhou: "You? You killed someone? You couldn't even kill a rabbit, how dare you kill someone?"
Ling Hezhou couldn't understand Chi Yu. He seemed to have a heart more fragile than that of an ordinary person. He slept in the wild and couldn't even bring himself to eat a wild rabbit. Like a little girl, he caught the rabbit, touched it, fed it with wild grass, and then released it. Finally, he ate some wild fruits to fill his stomach. When he saw ants moving on the road, he even took a detour. He really had the heart of a bodhisattva.
Chi Yu said, "I don't dare to do it now, but killing people is a matter for the future. We'll talk about the future later."
Ling Hezhou: “?”
As I said, Ling Hezhou couldn't understand Chi Yu.
After walking for a while, Chi Yu suddenly stopped. Ling Hezhou asked, "Why did you stop?"
Chi Yu exclaimed, "Ah!" and for the first time, his clear and pleasant voice became a little hoarse. "...someone is coming."
Ling Hezhou: "Who?"
Chi Yu didn't reply to him, and Ling Hezhou didn't need to listen to Chi Yu's answer, because he had already seen the person coming in the Soul Guarding Pearl.
The man was dressed in black, with a ferocious ghost king mask on his face, and he came gracefully under the moonlight.
Chi Yu was tense all over. The man was very tall, about 195cm tall, and was faintly emitting a black mist that blurred his body lines. He had a power and a cold murderous aura that made one's throat tighten. Chi Yu's hands and feet became weak, and he felt dizzy and almost unable to stand.
The man landed five meters away from Chi Yu, holding a strangely shaped sword in his hand. The sword was faintly glowing with blood, and the smell of blood was so strong that the air became sticky.
"Excuse me," the man's voice was pleasant and magnetic, with an indescribable, high joy, "could you give me your earrings?"
The face behind the mask seemed to be smiling, and his voice was filled with a warm smile, like a spring breeze blowing on his face, "That's my prey."
Ling Hezhou was stunned, then he couldn't believe it, "Looking for me?"
Chi Yu: "..."
