Chapter 132 I was a sucking child before the age of three
Geng Bingxiu was shocked and angry, and said coldly, “You little girl! It’s impossible to put me down with your simple tricks. As a knight, I have been in Jianghu for many years, and I’m more experienced and sophisticated than you. The people killed by me are more than the meals you had.”
He Danggui was surprised. She counted with her fingers and said, “Aha, I have two meals a day. That’s to say, I have 600 meals a year. In seven years, I have more than 4,000 meals in total. Uncle, have you killed more than 4,000 people? Oh my!”
“It is nothing to kill 4,000 people.” Geng Bingxiu couldn’t help sneering, “You are too bad in arithmetic. There are more than 700 meals a year if you have two meals a day... Hey, why do you have only two meals a day? Why do you only count the amount of meals for seven years? Are you only seven years old?” Was Duan Xiaolou crazy to marry a seven-year-old girl?
“No, no, no. I’m ten years old. I was a sucking child before the age of three. I had been breastfed by my nanny or with goat milk. I was too poor to have meals after three, so I counted as over 600 meals.” He Danggui said seriously, “You killed 4,000 people and you haven’t been avenged to death. Uncle, is it possible that… you had killed those people on the battlefield? Are you a… general?”
On hearing this, Geng Bingxiu’s eyelids under the mask twitched. He thought, “She is right. I was the General of Western Expedition in the Northwest Army in the past dozen years, and those people were indeed killed on the battlefield! Just now she called me as “knight”, so I claimed myself as “a knight” to let her believe that I’m a knight in Jianghu. I never expect that she figured out too much things just from the number of people I killed. My! It must be terrible if she figures out my identity.”
Geng Bingxiu wanted to sit up but couldn’t do it. He had profound internal energy, so any ordinary drugs or poisons couldn’t work on him. Even if he really took some powerful poisons, it was impossible for him to find out until the moment of the attack. There is no symptom before. How could this be?
“Wicked girl, what did you do to me?” Geng Bingxiu gritted his teeth.
He Danggui scratched her nose and explained, “Uncle, I was killed unfortunately once a month ago, and then rescued by an immortal in my dream. I was saved and blessed by the immortal. He told me that if anyone wants to hurt me, I just need to say ‘obey order presto’. Then the guy who’s going to hurt me will be paralyzed like you. Of course, it is so mysterious. I was skeptical and thought that the immortal played a joke with me. I didn’t expect that it’s very useful and wonderful. Can’t you move indeed? Do you have any other feelings?”
“Obey order presto?” Geng Bingxiu believed it immediately. Although he was a killer, and was delighted to torture people before killing them, he believed that there were immortals and karmas in the world because of a childhood experience. Moreover, this girl was revived after taking the medicine dregs from the pill furnace of Taishang Laojun, so it was very likely that she was blessed by Taishang Laojun using the immortal laws. He was shocked and closed his eyes to practice Miao Shi Arts. He chose to practice the heretic arts five years ago just because it had miraculous effects.
Seeing Geng Bingxiu closing his eyes suddenly, He Danggui knew that he practiced to “drive the immortal law”. She was worried that he would dispel the effects of the sleeping herb, but she couldn’t show it on her face. Otherwise, he would know that he had been fooled. She thought, “What should I do? Should I hit his head with a stone or poke his acupoints? But he is a blood-sucking devil with great power, I’m scared that he will catch and kill me by sucking my blood.” As she hesitated, she smelled blood. It was stinking. And then the red soup like blood drenched Geng Bingxiu, which made him extremely angry and even sit up to curse.
He Danggui looked around immediately for the source of the red soup, but only saw the grass nearby swaying.
Geng Bingxiu looked up and shouted, “Damn it! I had never been humiliated in this way in my life! Who are you? Who did it to me? Come out quickly! Otherwise, I will kill this little girl!”
He Danggui saw the big devil suddenly sitting up, so she was scared and stepped back. Although Geng Bingxiu didn’t recover, he was still a man with a very strong mind and power. With the force for sitting up, he jumped up from the ground, and slowly raised up his right palm to He Danggui. At the moment, his eyes turned grim and he thought, “If she is protected by the immortal laws, what she said about the secret exit in Luo’s Mansion before must be a lie. She fooled me. She is useless and can make me fearful. I must kill her right now!”
Feeling that Geng Bingxiu wanted to kill her, He Danggui wanted to say or do something. However, she felt that she was hugged tightly in the waist by a person with ambergris. When she looked up, she recognized that he was Ning Yuan at the first glance, though his face was covered with a cloth towel. At the same time, he had taken her back straightly far away.
Ning Yuan put the fearless little girl behind him first, and suddenly took out a short sword from his sleeve to “attack in order to defend”, and pointed at the man who raised up his right arm. Feeling his power and anger, Geng Bingxiu with a mask knew that he shouldn’t reveal his weakness at this moment. Therefore, he tried to calm down and looked at the masker. A dialogue began between the two maskers who looked at each other.
The stinky and bloody masked man held back for a moment, and asked cautiously, “Who are you? What’s the relationship between you and the little girl?”
The fragrant masker replied, “You don’t show your real face, so you needn’t to know my name. Have you practiced Miao Shi Arts? Those dead crows were your masterpieces, right?”
The masked man said proudly, “Besides that, I also killed a guard of Luo’s Mansion. Well! You only ask about the birds but not the human, which shows that you are also a ruthless man. Why do you want to protect the little girl? I have practiced Miao Shi Art to the tenth level. It’s easy for me to kill the two of you. Back off, and let me suck the blood of this girl to vent my anger!”
He Danggui emerged from Ning Yuan’s back and asked, “Hey, Uncle! Is Uncle Nie Chun still alive? Where is he now? Please let me know!”
The masked man sneered, “That day, the guy ran away. Wait… How do you know that I hurt Nie Chun?”
He Danggui was relieved after hearing his words. It was lucky that Nie Chun was only injured. Ning Yuan was jealous with her happy expression, so he asked in a cold voice, “What’s the relationship between you and that Nie Chun? Do you like him?”
He Danggui rolled her eyes and thought, “I don’t like Nie Chun. I only suspect that Nie Chun likes my mother. Besides, he is not a bad guy, so I should care about him.” She hid behind Ning Yuan again, and intended to avoid the troubles first. She thought that she could be adaptable. When she could control her internal force and became a senior, she could also learn from them to have a dialogue before the battle. Seeing the two staring at her silently, He Danggui waved her hand and said, “Go on. I won’t disturb you anymore.”
The masked man then said, “Hey, you look like a 15-year-old guy and you must be suitable to practice martial arts. But even if you start to practice after your birth, the people who were injured by you were not more than those I have ever killed…” He Danggui murmured behind Ning Yuan, “I heard that he killed 4,000 people. He is so terrible.” The masked man paused and said, “I don’t want to kill you. Cherish your life, and stay away from this girl. Let me turn her into a zombie!”
The masker said coldly, “You can never hurt her. She is mine!”
The masked man frowned, “Yours?” He thought, “Is he also a member of Luo’s Family? Or did he also want to kill the little girl?”
The masker nodded proudly, “She is my lover.” He Danggui immediately raised her head and claimed, “Nonsense.” Then she retracted.
After a pause, the masked man said, “Go away or not?”
The masker said firmly, “No.”
The masked man snorted, “I know you are young and ignorant, so I will let you go. But I won’t be lenient next time.” Then he waved the sleeves with blood and strode away.
He Danggui poked Ning Yuan’s back anxiously and said, “Beat him! Hurry up! I guess he is weak now.”
Ning Yuan had no reaction. But Geng Bingxiu was very panic because he was not only injured seriously, but also was tricked with the “obey order presto” by the little girl. At this moment, he had run out of his energy to walk. How could he fight with the mysterious youth?
Therefore, Geng Bingxiu bit the tip of his tongue immediately, and used his essential energy to escape quickly. He knew this time he shortened his life for three years, but there was no other way to save his life. Damn it! In the trip to Yangzhou, he was not only hurt seriously, but also became the enemy with the Master of Longhu Sect, Nie Chun. It was terrible that he had to fight with all members of Longhu Sect in the future. A youth with a bronzed mask and a crafty little girl defeated him in Yangzhou City. Damn!
Seeing the masked man go away, He Danggui tapped Ning Yuan’s shoulder angrily, and blamed, “Why do you let him go? You said you are very powerful. Why not hit him and cut his head with your sword right now.”
However, Ning Yuan neither looked back nor answered her. He stood still for a moment until the masked man disappeared in the darkness. Then he seemed to be so weak that he fell forward. He Danggui helped him and asked anxiously, “Are you OK? Have you been injured?”
Before Ning Yuan answered, a voice came from the sky not far away, “Sister He, where are you? Sister He, answer me now.”
It was Duan Xiaolou!
He Danggui just wanted to raise her head and shouted, “Brother Duan, I’m here.” Ning Yuan covered her mouth suddenly and pushed her into the grass. She was about to fall backwards in an instant. It felt like opening a pair of wings against the wind. She closed her eyes subconsciously, but didn’t feel the pain of falling to the ground. She felt a palm supporting her back, and the warmth permeated through the cloth. At the next moment, she felt a large piece of grass with the night dew sticking her back. Compared with the warm palm, the grass was so cold.
The most unbearable thing was that her chest was hit by a huge power suddenly, which nearly knocked away all the air in her chest, and blocked her breath, “Um… um…” Her mouth and nose were covered tightly, so she couldn’t cry out. She opened her eyes in a shock, seeing the deep eyes of Ning Yuan. Maybe the stars in the sky were so bright that his black pupils were changed into light brown. Wow… it was really a pretty sky.
“Well.” She opened her eyes widely and suddenly felt that he was pressing on her.
She raised her hands and thumped his back, and then his mask was covered with blood. But he didn’t take away his hand on her nose and mouth, and didn’t move his chest from hers. The injured guy just saved her life, so she had no choice but to stop. If she thumped him to death accidentally, then she would become ungrateful.
“Ah… Sister He, where are you?” Duan Xiaolou’s hoarse voice crossed over the sky, and then drifted away, “Sister He, please answer me…”
