☆, Chapter 23: So Many Charming Villains 2
This woman was beautiful and elegant, but she walked with a slight limp, as if she had sprained her ankle. It must have been an injury she sustained while fighting monsters.
She said apologetically, "Senior Brother Luo, I'm so sorry. You saved me just now, and now I have to trouble you again. If it weren't for protecting us, you would have advanced much longer... We've held you back."
Luo Binghe replied sincerely and appropriately: "As fellow cultivators, it is only right that we look after each other."
Shen Qingqiu was already well aware of Luo Binghe's saintly nature in the early stages, so he wasn't surprised.
He had to fight monsters while also leading these weak soldiers, women, and children, which is why his ranking wasn't high all day. Otherwise, with his current strength, he could easily compete with Gongyi Xiao! Even Ming Fan's ranking was pretty good... but it doesn't matter, Luo Binghe has plenty of stamina!
Shen Qingqiu never thought to reflect on his strange mentality of "My disciple is the most powerful. If he weren't so kind and easy to bully, none of you would be able to beat him."
Yue Qingyuan smiled and said, "Qingqiu, your little apprentice is indeed of excellent character."
Shen Qingqiu smiled as he unfolded his fan, accepting the gift calmly.
Whether from the reader's perspective or the master's perspective, Luo Binghe's "pure and innocent" nature in the early stages certainly deserves this assessment.
Qi Qingqi snorted, "That's right. They don't seem like the kind of people he taught."
Others also praised him. However, their praise was perhaps not entirely genuine. What good is good character? The Immortal Alliance Conference values strength, and Luo Binghe's actions were seen as somewhat outdated and old-fashioned by them.
The old palace master of Huanhua Palace, sitting next to Shen Qingqiu, saw Luo Binghe's face in the crystal mirror and let out a barely perceptible "Eh".
Shen Qingqiu kept his eyes straight ahead, but secretly rejoiced: Luo Binghe was handsome and resembled his birth mother quite a bit. The old palace master must have seen this face and thought it was just a coincidence that he was a junior who looked similar, and he must have been reminiscing about his favorite disciple from back then, and sighed slightly. Little did he know that Luo Binghe was his beloved disciple's biological child.
Meanwhile, in the Desolate Valley, Luo Binghe was already thinking of a safe way to get out of the current situation.
From a moral standpoint, he couldn't abandon these disciples of the Illusion Flower Palace who had only recently joined the sect. However, he also didn't want to miss the opportunity to perform well in the Immortal Alliance Conference and not disappoint his master.
While Luo Binghe was calmly considering how to settle his group of weak disciples, Shen Qingqiu thought he was having an intimate encounter with a girl.
This is the first girl Luo Binghe ever slept with!
Qin Wanyue. Shen Qingqiu had a fairly good impression of this girl.
Although she offers little help to the protagonist's ambition to conquer the world and dominate the three realms, she is gentle and charming, and dislikes the scheming and intrigue of the harem. What man wouldn't like a girl like that?
Shen Qingqiu would never say that Sha Hualing considered herself Luo Binghe's first wife, and that she spent all her time vying for his affections, playing palace intrigue, framing this person and defeating that person. He was so annoyed by the dozens of chapters of her story that he kept flipping through the pages.
I'm reading monster-fighting novels, not Empresses in the Palace!
I'd rather read 100,000 words describing how the ghost-head spiders mate and consummate than read about Sha Hualing causing Qin Wanyue to have an abortion. Thank you!
This group of people clearly regarded Luo Binghe as their savior and followed behind him.
Luo Binghe was helpless, but he couldn't bring himself to coldly drive them away.
Shen Qingqiu was extremely displeased. The current Luo Binghe was gentle and honest, but he was not easily fooled. Among these disciples who followed the team closely, some were genuinely not used to it and were not performing well, but they would be fine after a little adjustment. However, there were also some who were ignorant and unwilling to withdraw from the competition, hoping to cling to Luo Binghe's coattails to get some prayer beads and rankings.
If it's Luo Binghe in the later stages, he'll kill you all in no time without hesitation!
After walking for a while, Luo Binghe dealt with most of the small monsters that attacked under the cover of darkness with a flick of his finger, without even having to draw his sword, but he still couldn't increase his speed.
reason?
A female disciple from the Illusionary Flower Palace leaned against Qin Wanyue and began to sob, "Sister Wanyue, my feet hurt so much."
Luo Binghe, who was ahead, stopped without turning around and rubbed his temples.
Qin Wanyue felt a surge of tension. She lowered her head and whispered to the girl, "Wanrong, can you bear with it? We must hurry."
Wanrong sobbed, "But my feet really hurt and I can't walk anymore! And I've been walking all day with nowhere to bathe, so I feel really uncomfortable."
Many of the untrained disciples in the group readily agreed. If Shen Qingqiu had the authority to make direct judgments, he would have already disqualified them from the meeting and kicked them out of the Desolate Valley.
Why bother signing up for the Immortal Alliance Conference if your feet hurt so easily? And even if you signed up, why drag others down? Look at Liu Mingyan, the difference is huge, no wonder she's the leading lady!
However, he couldn't do anything about Qin Wanrong. After all, the two sisters, Qin Wanyue and Qin Wanrong, were both members of Luo Binghe's harem. Only they could avoid death even if they did something extremely reckless...
A strange sense of unease filled Shen Qingqiu's heart.
Hyoga, you... when you're building your harem in the future, could you please consider the quality a bit more? Don't just grab any pretty girl you see. It pains me to see such a mixed bag of quality in your harem!
Qin Wanyue glanced at Luo Binghe's retreating figure again and whispered, "Little sister, we've already caused Senior Brother Luo a lot of trouble..."
Qin Wanrong said innocently, "Senior Brother Luo is such a kind person, he won't mind, right, Senior Brother Luo?"
Luo Binghe finally turned around, his face still slightly smiling, handsome beyond compare, flawless, and he didn't say a word. For some reason, Qin Wanyue secretly shivered. Qin Wanrong, however, was oblivious to his feelings; seeing him smile, she took it as agreement and darted away like a gust of wind to a nearby stream.
They're here! Shen Qingqiu's eyes narrowed.
Luo Binghe was taken aback. Connecting the dots from what they had just said, he assumed she wanted to take a bath. Luckily, this junior sister wasn't that eccentric; she simply took off her shoes and socks and stepped her feet into the stream.
This is upstream; what if someone downstream needs water...?
Shen Qingqiu silently lit a candle in his heart for the disciples downstream.
Once she took the lead, several others followed suit, and the group started laughing and joking around.
Seeing this, Luo Binghe was extremely helpless and could not approach, so he could only say from a distance, "It is not safe to wade through the water at night. Junior brothers and sisters, you should come up as soon as possible."
Shen Qingqiu found it a bit strange. In the original work, Luo Binghe shouldn't have been standing this far away, right? If he remembered correctly, Luo Binghe had gone to the stream together out of concern (or perhaps out of the author's selfish desire to depict fanservice), and then enjoyed a steamy foot-soaking spectacle (...), a real treat for foot fetishists!
The group, however, chattered and laughed all the way over here: "It's alright! Senior Brother Luo, you're here too!"
Even the sect leaders in front of the crystal mirror were speechless.
Even though he had read the original work and been prepared, Shen Qingqiu was still speechless when this scene actually unfolded before his eyes.
His face remained expressionless, but inwardly he questioned: Luo Binghe! Aren't you going over there yet? If you don't go soon, you'll miss the plot!
Qin Wanyue carefully apologized to Luo Binghe: "Senior Brother Luo, I'm sorry, this is the first time my junior sister and the others have participated in the Immortal Alliance Conference..." She knew that her younger sister was acting strangely, and biting her lip, she looked truly pitiful.
Before Luo Binghe could answer, a piercing scream suddenly came from the stream.
Oh, it's finally here!
Young men, don't forget one of the key thrills of "The Legend of the Immortal Demon": those who court death will surely die!
This time, Shen Qingqiu never expected that Qin Wanrong, a member of the protagonist's harem, would actually bring about her own demise!
Upon hearing the scream, Luo Binghe's expression changed. He abandoned the pale-faced Qin Wanyue and rushed to the stream.
Meanwhile, the sect leaders in front of the crystal mirror also looked horrified.
Luo Binghe held his sword horizontally in front of him and said in a deep voice, "What's going on!"
There were originally five or six disciples bathing and playing in the stream, but two of them were missing, including Qin Wanrong.
Shen Qingqiu thought to himself: See! Didn't I tell you to go earlier?
Now look what's happened, you've lost one of your wives! You spendthrift son of a bitch—
The Qin sisters can't be reunited! What will happen to the upcoming 3-[beep] drama?!
One of the disciples screamed, "I don't know what happened just now, but suddenly the water went dark, and my senior sisters were swept into the water by something!"
Luo Binghe easily pulled several people out of the stream, still stunned, and ordered them to leave the danger zone first. But just as he reached out to grab the last person, that person seemed to slip, instantly falling over the water and disappearing right before Luo Binghe's eyes!
At the same time, a black mist churned in the stream. Shen Qingqiu looked closely through the crystal mirror and saw that it was countless black threads as smooth as a woman's black hair, with scarlet blood seeping from between them. The blood was diluted by the stream, and it was even thicker and more disgusting than Sadako's hair!
Yue Qingyuan exclaimed in surprise, "A woman's grudge entangles her!"
Meanwhile, in the Desolate Valley, Luo Binghe quickly identified the monster in the stream. He plunged his sword energy into the water and shouted, "Stay away from the water! It's the Demon Realm's Wraith!"
The large, hair-like monsters churned around at the bottom of the water for a while, then suddenly, as if they had eaten their fill and were burping, they "spit out" a few things from between the black threads.
Three corpses, their flesh and blood drained, reduced to mere skin and bones!
The pores on the corpse were unusually large because many hairs were still attached to the skin, penetrating the pores and eagerly absorbing the flesh and essence from the human body.
The ability to penetrate every nook and cranny is one of the most terrifying characteristics of a woman's vengeful entanglement.
The disciples by the stream were terrified by the horrific sight. Cries and screams filled the forest as they scrambled to hide behind Luo Binghe. Qin Wanyue nearly fainted upon seeing the gruesome state of her sister's corpse.
Fortunately, she was smart enough not to actually faint, otherwise, in such a chaotic scene, who could have taken her with them to escape!
