C43 I'll listen to you

Bang!

A muffled sound came from Chi Lishu's chest. The golden ripple that was created by the golden staff congealed in an instant, and in the end, enveloped her entire body.

The old monk had planned for a long time, until finally, when Chi Lishu was distracted by me, he finished his final strike.

He could not help but laugh out loud. However, his hands did not have a single trace of hesitation. His footsteps became hurried as he held the golden staff down, continuously channeling energy into it.

Chi Lishu was extremely important to him, so he would not use her life in a single strike to kill. However, because her opponent was so strong, he had to do it in one go and beat them until they were unable to move. Only then would it be in his interest to do so.

My heart started to ache for some reason. If not for Chi Lishu being distracted, I might still be able to hold on for a while.

And now, she had already lost, right?

Just when I wanted to turn the gun and pierce my own body, suddenly, I saw that Chi Lishu, who was in the distance, was actually defeated and turned into countless splattered liquids. Not only did they wrap around the golden staff, they even wrapped around the old monk.

The old monk did not expect this situation to happen. He was suddenly trapped and subconsciously struggled with all his might.

However, a lump of mucus didn't affect him at all. How could he possibly be able to perform anything?

The more he struggled, the weaker he became. After a few seconds, he finally understood what was going on. He hurriedly sat cross-legged to meditate, trying to draw his breath into his body and release it outwards, evaporating the thick liquid that stuck to his body.

At this moment, he was too late. It was as if cement had been poured into him. His face was stiff as he turned into a statue.

At the very last moment, the old monk finally understood what he was about to face. He could not help but shout out in fear, but he could not utter a single word.

Thousands of words were sealed within the silence.

It happened very suddenly, almost for a minute or two, and then the whole village fell into a deathly silence, hearing nothing but the gasps of the remnants behind me.

Not even the sound of insects could be heard.

When I realized that the old monk might already be dead, I walked step by step towards him.

I stretched out my hand in an attempt to touch the thick, viscous liquid. However, just as my fingertip was about to touch it, the dark liquid avoided my finger and slid away from me.

Subconsciously, I used my finger to chase it, but a few seconds later, the mud left the old monk's body and continued to slide towards the darkness at the side of the road.

I didn't care about the old monk's life and death, but I continued to follow him.

I turned down the road, walked four or five steps, and found Chi Lishu in a dark corner.

She lay on the ground, her hands clasped around her chest, her face pale, and I subconsciously thought she was dead. I hurried over and helped her up, then probed under her nose with my fingers.

The breath was still there, but very faint.

He was still alive.

Thinking back, I can probably guess that the old monk did hit Chi Lishu just now, but I never thought that Chi Lishu would transform into a human not too long ago. She is a wormpool, so if she gets severely injured, she would probably become her true self.

The old monk died in the midst of carelessness while Chi Lishu died from underestimating his opponent.

I called out to her a few times, but there was no response. I had no choice but to carry her on my back and return to the road.

At this moment, I realized that the corpse of the old monk that was originally sitting upright on the ground had already been destroyed by the hate-filled young ladies.

I asked Ai Ma and found out that it was because of the sisters who had just died. It was also because of the humiliation they had suffered previously, and the first was because of this old monk.

Ai Ma stuttered in English as she expressed to me that she would never forget what this skinny old bald man had done to her.

Hatred caused these women to go into a frenzy. They disfigured the old monk completely, so it was easy for them to have nightmares when they looked at him at night.

However, after venting their anger, many of the women with sluggish expressions started to have lively expressions on their faces.

After they finished venting their anger, only then did they discover Chi Lishu, who was on my back.

The crowd gathered around me and asked me what had happened to her.

is obviously more beloved than I am. She used her kindness and her smile to conquer this bunch of pitiful women who have suffered a lot.

I couldn't wake Chi Lishu up, and I don't know what happened to her.

Could it be that she had already suffered a heavy injury?

My mind was a mess, I pushed through the crowd and placed Chi Lishu on the ground. I patted her shoulder and pinched her body, but in the end, I still wasn't able to wake her up. Looking at her tightly shut eyes, I sat on the ground, and my whole body sank into deep regret.

If I had only been able to persevere, she might not have come over so recklessly. If she had not come over, she would not have become like this.

Xue Rui told Goddess Grandma to take good care of her, but I still failed to live up to their expectations.

Right now, the only way out was probably to return back the way they came, carry her back to the Zhai Li Miao Village, and hand her over to Xue Rui and the others to save, right?

I plan like this, and at this moment, a golden staff suddenly appears beside me.

I raised my head, only to see Ai Ma taking the old monk's remains and handing it over to me. She also told me that she thought this thing was very important and wanted me to take it.

I subconsciously took the staff and looked in that direction.

Just then, those people all looked at me. When I saw their eyes that were filled with hope, reliance, trust and gratitude, I suddenly understood Chi Lishu a little.

What was the purpose of a person's life?

I had always felt muddle-headed about this question, but now, for some reason, I had a different idea.

After handing over the golden staff to me, Ai Ma asked the people who were saved me, what should I do next?

I asked her if there was any way you could get these people out of here.

Ai Ma nodded. She told me that she was a reporter from the French News Agency and had some international influence. If she could contact her country's embassy, she could help these pitiful people settle down.

I took out my shredder and deleted the twelve methods to suppress the mountain, which I knew by heart, and gave them to her.

I told her that there would be a village a dozen kilometers to the west from here and there would be a signal from there, too, to contact with this telephone, and that she would have to help with the placement of these people.

Ai Ma panicked, and asked me to not leave with them?

I shook my head and gestured to her, saying in broken English, No, my friend is seriously hurt, I can't go with you, I have to take her to the hospital — as for those people, you can rest assured, most of the bad guys here have poisoned her, you should be safe.

After saying that, I suddenly thought of Liu Zhao that guy over. Looking around, I realised that this guy had sneakily escaped without me knowing.

This fellow was truly crafty, and was indeed a disaster.

I was worried, so I led my men to the western camp and collected more than ten guns. After confirming that these people had the ability to protect themselves, I parted ways with them.

Before we left, Ai Ma intentionally asked me and Chi Lishu for our names.

I thought about it, but in the end I didn't tell her.

Ai Ma regretfully brought the people and left, while I carried Chi Lishu and returned in the direction we came from.

This little girl might look like a long-legged girl, but she wasn't very heavy, over 90 jin. If it was before, I might have put in a lot of effort to carry her, but now, I could barely endure it.

I treat this as a form of cultivation.

After tossing and turning for the better part of the night, I gritted my teeth and persevered through the night. I saw that the sky was starting to brighten and I was about to reach my limit. Just as I was about to find a place to rest, I heard a low hum coming from behind me.

Ah?

I was elated, I turned around and saw that Chi Lishu had also just opened her eyes, she looked at me and said, "Where is this place?"

I told her, and the girl opened her mouth and bit me on the shoulder.

I shouted, "Ah!" and said, "Are you crazy?"

She angrily said, "I said that I wanted to head north. Why did you carry me back south again? What are you trying to do?"

I say, why go to the north when you are already so injured?

She jumped down from my back and kicked my butt, causing me to stumble and almost fall flat on my face. When I turned around, she angrily said, "Even if I am injured, I am still stronger than you! Come, come, come, let's fight. Let's see who has tougher fists.

When I saw her baring her fangs and brandishing her claws, I was really helpless and could only bitterly smile. Forget it, we made a bet last time, how could I dare to compete with you? As long as you are healthy, I will listen to you.

She grinned and held up her hand. Well, my first order is to stop and stay where you are!

After saying that, she suddenly saw the golden staff that I used as a walking stick and laughed out loud. She said, "I can't tell, but you have pretty good eyesight. Do you know that this thing is more valuable than that spear fire?" Not bad, not bad. I can use this thing to make you something to thank you for taking back the kindness I showed you in the middle of the night.
