Under the cover of night, Li Xiaoxiao began to quietly pile up wood in various places. The bandits were fast asleep at night, and the slightest noise could not disturb them. Who would dare to come to the bandits' den at night?
The leader inside, still half-asleep from the sound, muttered in his sleep, "Why are there so many rats again? Looks like I'll have to buy some more poison."
Li Xiaoxiao was busy all night, and the next day, sure enough, she heard Tao Biao carrying a jar of wine and shouting loudly at the front gate, "Boss, boss, Widow Dong has sent over some fine wine that she has treasured for many years, saying it is for her daughter's dowry."
The mountain stronghold became lively, and the leader's reputation began to spread. The widow Dong, who had been extremely unwilling before, now obediently offered him fine wine.
"Come here, let's all taste this fine wine together."
Once the eldest brother, Wan Haiyi, was relieved of yesterday's troubles, he approached Tao Biao, snatched the wine from him, and kissed it on the tip of his nose. "It really is a fine wine. What's it called?"
Tao Biao flattered her, saying, "I heard from that widow Dong that this wine was originally called 'Immortal Phoenix,' and it has been stored for over fifty years. Now, it is being used as part of her daughter's dowry."
Wan Hai laughed heartily, "What a wonderful name, 'Immortal God Controls the Phoenix,' I love it." Tao Biao continued to flatter, "Boss, this name can't compare to your might. Last night, you controlled two phoenixes in one night, so this wine should be called 'Immortal God Controls Two Phoenixes.'" After Tao Biao finished speaking, the others echoed, "That's right, Boss is mighty."
"The boss truly lives up to his reputation as the boss." Everyone cheered.
"Look at Cuihua's clothes, they're showing her shoulders. I wonder which brother will be lucky tonight." Wan Hai immediately became unhappy. "Tonight, the First Madam will be playing with you, but the Sixth Branch will have to keep me company."
All the brothers were unhappy for a moment, but they suppressed it and regained their composure. "Big brother, have fun. Sister-in-law should let you enjoy yourself."
Wan Hai brought out the jar of wine and poured it into more than twenty bowls. "I'm really sorry, I've been unfair to you brothers. This is the legendary 'Immortal Phoenix Riding the Mountain,' brothers, have a bowl too." Everyone started drinking, and the mountain stronghold began to revel again.
The women who had been kidnapped earlier were dancing on the stage. Wan Hai and the others drank and discussed important matters. Tao Biao took a sip of wine and felt refreshed. It was indeed a famous wine. Drinking it made him feel like he was floating on air. "I heard that the imperial court is going to send people over. What should we do about our mountain stronghold?"
After drinking the wine, Wan Hai felt refreshed. His previous injuries seemed to have healed considerably. The wine seemed to pull him back to his youth, when he was adventuring alone in the martial world and finally managed to achieve his current status. Now, he is over thirty years old, and seven or eight years have passed. Many of his brothers have died, and he has been hunted down. He barely managed to establish this stronghold and find a place to live.
"Brothers, let's go big next time. I heard the Li family made a fortune recently. Let's have some fun this year. No slacking off tomorrow."
While Wan Hai ate his food, he kissed Chen Cuihua, who was standing next to him, with the lips of a pig intestine. The scene became joyful again, with the villagers singing songs. Li Xiaoxiao hid in the dark, trembling with anger.
It turned out that this bandit leader had his eye on her home. It seemed that if she didn't teach them a lesson, they wouldn't know their place. Li Xiaoxiao patiently waited and finally waited for nightfall. The bandits were still talking about how arrogant they were.
Li Xiaoxiao lit the piles of firewood that had been set up the night before. The bandits who were still chatting and had some say, and who had also been drinking, all collapsed for some unknown reason, and the whole mountain stronghold was thrown into chaos.
Li Xiaoxiao, who had been hiding in the darkness, came out and pulled the still trembling Chen Cuihua into the darkness. "You run from the back mountain later. There's a small path there. I'll cover your retreat."
Because Li Xiaoxiao had poured oil on the firewood piles last night, the fire grew bigger and bigger. The bandits hurriedly packed up their belongings. Chen Cuihua left from the back of the mountain, and Li Xiaoxiao was also preparing to leave.
At that moment, a woman with a face covered in pustules emerged from the darkness. "It's really unexpected that someone could poison someone so silently, without even me noticing."
This woman was horribly ugly after all the plastic surgery. Her face was covered in pustules that were oozing yellow pus and white pus, and some of the pustules were oozing black blood. If Li Xiaoxiao hadn't been used to seeing even more horrific scenes in the apocalypse, she would have vomited on the spot upon seeing this.
"Who are you?" Li Xiaoxiao's subconscious told her that this person was unusual and that it was necessary to ask his name.
"Oh ho, you didn't throw up, that's quite something. Hehe, don't you remember me? We met last night, I even lent a hand." The woman laughed, but the thick sores on her face seemed to cover her green eyes.
It was the masked woman who helped her gather firewood, but it was too dark for her to see clearly.
"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Green Snake, which means green snake. Li Xiaoxiao, you're really great." She walked with a swaying, proud figure, her breasts and buttocks curving, her waist so thin it seemed boneless. If it weren't for her face, her figure would be considered extremely sexy.
"I heard you're leaving. Why don't you take me with you? I think I've found a place that suits me better. This place is full of stinky men." The green snake's eyes were like those of a snake hunting its prey.
For some reason, this scene reminded Li Xiaoxiao of a woman who was originally ugly but later became charming, beautiful, and extremely skilled at making poisons, known as the "Beautiful Snake."
Later, they fought together to conquer the world, all in an effort to research healthy plants that could grow in the apocalypse. Unfortunately, just as their research was about to be completed and they were finally making some progress, they were transported into this body.
This place is the utopia that they all yearn for.
"Alright, come with me." Whether it was because she thought of something or because of the unexpected encounter last night, Li Xiaoxiao smiled and walked towards the woods. Green Snake was in a good mood and followed her towards the back mountain. At this moment, a group of women appeared behind Green Snake.
It was the wives of those bandits and the women who had been captured. They had heard Li Xiaoxiao's voice last night but dared not make a sound. As women, they had always lived in fear in the mountain village.
Some of the sisters were beheaded on stage for not serving well. They had been waiting for this day for a long time. The one surrounded in the middle was the First Madam from last night, Chen Xueqing, the daughter of the clothing seller who was kidnapped some time ago.
“Benefactor, we sisters are all willing to walk with our master. At this moment tonight, you are our rebirth. We beg you to have mercy and take us in.”
After Chen Xueqing finished speaking, she threw the object forward. Although it was late at night, with fireworks lit up the sky not far away, the object on the ground was clearly visible. It was Wan Hai's head.
"Xueqing offers the head of the villain Wan Hai to demonstrate her courage and wisdom. Please, benefactor, review it and let us devise a grand plan together." After Chen Xueqing finished speaking, tears streamed down her face like a spring rain. Behind her, her sisters, barely clothed and covered in mud, also wept uncontrollably. In the distance, the shouts of the bandits who had finally realized what was happening could be heard.
"Grab them, don't let those women get away."
The fire was deafening, hissing and crackling, and tall wooden buildings collapsed one after another, flames filling the sky.
Li Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "This is really interesting."
