It was Yuanbao who helped transport the peach wood sword, which is why the middle-aged Taoist priest didn't notice that a sword had appeared behind him.
Xu Nian took advantage of the moment when he was distracting the middle-aged Taoist priest to control the peach wood sword and instantly kill him.
The middle-aged Taoist priest died with his eyes wide open, never knowing that he had been defeated by a little piglet.
The puppets in the Wang family mansion did not stop attacking because of the middle-aged Taoist priest's death. On the contrary, having lost their controller, they all went mad, including the wealthy Wang.
He clutched his head in anguish and looked around the entire Wang family compound.
The dilapidated Wang family residence.
Having lost his mind, the wealthy Wang had no one left to hate, so he set his sights on killing Xu Nian.
"Ding-dong!"
Xu Nian struck the bell in her hand heavily, and more than a dozen more corpses fell to the ground.
But that's not enough; she hasn't even eliminated half of the puppets yet.
Moreover, the puppets are neither afraid nor tired, so if she wants to completely eliminate them, she will have to fight a war of attrition from start to finish.
"By imperial decree, vanquish the demons and eliminate evil!"
"By imperial decree, dispel resentment and punish hatred!"
"..."
Xu Nian's shouts echoed in the waiting room. Her agile figure began to slow down, her rosy cheeks gradually turned pale, and cold sweat dripped down her forehead.
After she eliminated the last puppet with her peach wood sword, she stumbled and fell to one knee.
Her Taoist robe was torn in several places, and the blood from her palms flowed onto the peach wood sword as she gripped it.
"Host, are you alright?" Yuanbao rushed over, staring at her injuries with worried eyes.
"I'm fine, Yuanbao, lead the way." Xu Nian stopped the bleeding slightly, then ignored the wounds and left the Wang family in a disheveled state with her injuries.
"Host, lead the way where?" Yuanbao couldn't keep up with Xu Nian's train of thought and asked blankly as he followed behind her.
"Yuanbao, are you stupid? I'm covered in injuries, if I don't go find the female lead now, when will I?" Xu Nian rolled her eyes at Yuanbao in her mind.
"Host, can you hold on?" Yuanbao was worried that he would bleed to death on the way and die before finding the female lead, Xu Nian.
Xu Nian lowered her eyelids and whispered to Yuanbao in her heart, "Yuanbao, stop talking nonsense, just listen to me."
"If I want to complete the mission, I have to stay by Yin Mengmeng's side."
"If someone suddenly appears and offers to protect you for no apparent reason, how would you feel?"
"Instead of making her wary of me, I'd rather owe her a favor first, using the excuse of saving my life, so I can stay by her side and protect her."
After being reminded by Xu Nian, Yuanbao understood its host's thoughts and quickly pointed Xu Nian in the right direction. "Host, I'll take you to find the female lead right now."
The human and the pig walked ahead, while the little white fox followed behind Xu Nian, whimpering.
It looked at Xu Nian's retreating figure with heartache, and once again hated its own powerlessness.
The more the little white fox followed Xu Nian, the more confused it became.
Why did she leave the city to find a doctor when she was so badly injured?
Moreover, the places he was going were becoming more and more remote. If he remembered correctly, there was a village ahead of him, which he had passed through before.
Because of his severe injuries from the Heavenly Tribulation, he was in a hurry to escape and never entered the village.
Why did she come to this village despite being covered in injuries?
The little white fox was puzzled, but still followed closely behind Xu Nian, glancing at her worriedly from time to time.
She had been bleeding a lot along the way, and her complexion was getting worse and worse. If this continued, she would faint before she even reached the village.
Just as the little white fox finished thinking this, it saw Xu Nian's body sway twice, and then, before its wide eyes, it collapsed weakly to the side of the road with a "thud".
"Woo woo woo," the little white fox ran over to check on Xu Nian's condition, but was mercilessly chased away by Yuanbao.
"Hmph!" Yuanbao grumbled, blocking the little white fox's path. [Get out of the way, don't ruin my host's plans.]
"Awooo!" The little white fox's fur stood on end; it couldn't understand what Yuanbao was saying to it.
All it knew was that Yuanbao was preventing it from checking on Xu Nian's condition.
The little white fox bared its teeth at Yuanbao, raising its claws fiercely.
Yuanbao felt a little guilty in the face of the little white fox's threat, but thinking of its host's mission and plan, it mustered its courage and stood in front of the little white fox.
So what if he's the male lead?
If it dares to ruin my host's plans or prevent my host from making money, it will stop it without hesitation.
The little white fox wouldn't leave the piglet in front of it; it would block its way wherever it went!
Unable to find out what was wrong with Xu Nian, it became furious and pounced on the little piglet in front of it, starting a fight.
Kill this nasty thing! Let it get in its way and block its path!
Yuanbao would never swallow his anger and let the little white fox beat him up.
We're all equally weak now; if you hit me, I can hit you back.
Pah! What's wrong with the male lead now? Does being the male lead give you the right to bully the weak?
Recalling the scene of being threatened by this person before, Yuanbao felt a surge of malice and thought that the time for revenge had come.
"Awooooo!"
"Hmph!"
The two little ones were fighting fiercely, and the pitiful squeals of the pig and the howls of the fox immediately attracted the attention of passersby.
A couple carrying hoes came over to check the situation. They were stunned to see Yuanbao and the little white fox fighting. When they saw Xu Nian lying on the side, they stopped caring about the two fighting animals.
"Husband, this girl is still breathing. Go quickly and fetch Doctor Yin from the village," the woman said to her husband.
"Moon Lady, you stay here and watch over this girl, but also be careful of your own safety. I'll be right back." The man left the hoe with his wife for self-defense and hurriedly ran towards the village.
