Chapter 440 A Heretical Old Man Emerges from the Deep Mountains
"!" The weapons clanged together again, and Lin Luoxi's hand even felt a little numb.
"How about that? You can't do anything to me, can you?" The old monster laughed when he saw Lin Luoxi's lack of confidence and reached out to lift Xie Leyao up again.
"Evil cultivator, how dare you!" Lin Luoxi was terrified by the Red-Faced Old Monster's actions, her eyes wide with horror.
Xie Hanchuan appeared from behind the old man and slashed at the old man's arm with his knife.
"Ah!" Xie Hanchuan chopped off the old man's hand, successfully saving Xie Leyao.
She carried all the children to Lin Luoxi's side and attacked the old man again.
Fearing something might happen to the children this time, Lin Luoxi took advantage of the lull in Xie Hanchuan's fight with the red-eyed old man and brought the five children into the villa in her space.
With no worries about the future, Lin Luoxi directly applied spatial spiritual water to the sturdy blade of the Fangtian Halberd and attacked the red-eyed old monster.
"Ah!" The old man who was invincible just moments before was actually pierced by Lin Luoxi's halberd and let out a scream.
It turns out that the old man was using resentment to protect himself, and now the purest, most vibrant spiritual water in the world has been shattered.
Seeing that the old monster with red eyes had his weak point broken by her, Lin Luoxi seized the opportunity to make her move, determined to kill the old man.
Seeing that the red-eyed old man had no time to pay attention to him, Xie Hanchuan drew his sword and cut off the old man's other arm with one strike. Then he made another move and cut off both of the old man's legs as well.
The old man was instantly turned into a human stump, and his shrill screams filled the entire manor with a chilling and eerie atmosphere.
"Whoosh!" Lin Luoxi felt that the other party was too noisy, so she fired a shot and chopped off the old man's head.
The guards at the manor only arrived belatedly after the old man died.
Upon seeing the old man lying dead on the ground, the red light in the guards' eyes disappeared, and their eyes returned to normal black pupils and white irises.
Their expressions changed slightly, and they knelt down in unison before Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan.
They were grateful for their life-saving grace. Because of Lin Luoxi and the others' arrival, they were finally rescued from the sea of fire and no longer at the mercy of this old man.
This kneeling was an attempt to enthrone Lin Luoxi as the head of the manor.
Lin Luoxi refused their offer of help and instead led them to dig out the remains of the murdered children.
They used spiritual water to wash away the evil cultivation aura from their bodies, cremated them, and allowed the resentment in their spirits to dissipate, restoring them to their former innocent state so they could be reincarnated in the underworld.
After dealing with the vengeful spirit, Lin Luoxi had all the valuables in the manor moved out.
"Forget it, I don't care about being a manor lord. You've all recovered now, so go home on your own!"
"You can all take out the money in this manor and divide it equally, or use it to start a small business."
She had the people in the manor take the money and then set the manor on fire.
The fire burned for three days and three nights before reducing the entire mountain to ashes, and only then did Xi and Xie Hanchuan turn away with peace of mind.
Too many lives have already been lost here. If this villa continues to exist, there's a risk that more people will suffer. It's better to burn it down.
Having dealt with the old monster in the mountain villa, Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan arrived at a safe place and set up camp.
After what happened with the Red-Eyed Old Monster, the children lost interest in hunting and listlessly stayed by Lin Luoxi's side.
Lin Luoxi wasn't in the mood for hunting, so she simply took out some wild game from her spatial storage and grilled it.
The large fish that had been grilled earlier hadn't been eaten yet, so we took it out again to reheat it.
They were probably really hungry. They roasted ten chickens, but it still wasn't enough for the family of seven. They also ate a large fish before they were finally full.
The forest at night looks like a large, ferocious beast, its mouth wide open as if to devour someone.
Using the mountains as a base, Lin Luoxi opened the spatial gate, and the entire family of seven entered the spatial villa to rest.
When it gets light, we'll continue our journey by horse and carriage.
After walking quite a distance, Lin Luoxi closed the spatial gate. Xie Hanchuan had no idea that the place they stayed in last night was just a secret realm.
The family of seven headed to their next town—Qingcheng.
"Mom, the food here is so delicious!" Xie Leyao took a bite of the roast duck; it was tender and juicy, and her mouth was full of oil.
"You like to eat it?" Lin Luoxi looked at Xie Leyao, who was eating roast duck with her arms outstretched, and pondered for a moment.
"Waiter!" Lin Luoxi called over the restaurant waiter.
"Sir, may I ask what's the matter?" Upon hearing Lin Luoxi's words, the waiter quickly ran upstairs. Judging from the other person's attire, they were clearly wealthy and noble. Could it be that there was something wrong with the food at their restaurant?
"Waiter, how do you roast your duck? Could you tell me the secret recipe? I'm willing to pay for it."
Lin Luoxi thought that if she used this secret recipe and roasted the ducks from her space, it would definitely taste even better.
"This is our shop's prized possession..." The waiter looked at Lin Luoxi with a troubled expression. Who would ask someone for the secret recipe for opening a shop right away?
"Oh, it's nothing!" Since her words had put the other person in a difficult position, Lin Luoxi didn't plan to ask any further questions.
Seeing that Lin Luoxi didn't ask any more questions, the waiter wiped non-existent sweat from his brow, breathed a sigh of relief, and left.
"Even if you don't say it, I can taste a little bit, hmph..." Lin Luoxi is a monstrous genius, she can taste a bit of the ingredients.
After the family finished eating, Lin Luoxi took the children for a walk around the streets and happened to come across the seed shop.
Lin Luoxi told Xie Hanchuan to take the children and wait outside while she went in and, based on the taste of the roast duck, listed a long list of ingredients.
After Lin Luoxi came out of the shop, she went to the blacksmith shop and asked the shopkeeper to make a miniature version of the roast duck oven that she had seen in modern times. Then she took the children and rushed out of the city.
She wanted to organize a camping trip by the river outside the city, with Xie Hanchun leading the children to fish by the lake while she started a fire, boiled water, slaughtered ducks, and began tinkering.
While the ducks were being pickled, she was searching for something by the lake.
"Oh! Mom, how did you catch a water spider?" Xie Leyao exclaimed in surprise when she saw Lin Luoxi catch a water spider that was bigger than her fist.
"These aren't water spiders, but crabs that are abundant in this lake."
When she entered the city, Lin Luoxi saw crabs crawling in the lake. She thought it was her imagination, but it turned out there were really crabs, and they were quite big.
They're big and have crab roe, I'm in for a treat today.
Upon hearing that these were crabs and edible, Xie Leyao stopped fishing and ran to Lin Luoxi's side to help her catch crabs.
"Ah!" Xie Leyao burst into tears in no time, her cries shaking the heavens.
Xie Hanchuan, who dotes on his daughter, immediately used his lightness skill to fly to Xie Leyao's side when he saw her crying, not even caring about the fish that had already taken the bait.
