Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter-Chapter 343 - 135: Wielding the Overlord Blade for Chivalry, the Final Battle Begins

Chapter 343: Chapter 135: Wielding the Overlord Blade for Chivalry, the Final Battle Begins

Yaojue’s heart was pounding like a little deer, but when she got onto the bed, the master was exceedingly gentle with her.

Yaojue raised her head, her delicate neck appearing as if wrapped in a layer of flame under the red candlelight in the room...

She poured all her longing and fantasies of love onto the man in front of her.

And much, much later...

The room was quiet.

Li Yuan inexplicably felt an unprecedented sense of ease.

If his relationship with Lady Yan was intimate and loving, with the innkeeper’s wife respectful like a couple, with Cui Huayin a desire for beauty, and with the maids Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju a daily routine without much affection, then with this maid Yaojue before him... it was a perfect union.

This sense of union surprised him.

"Thank you, Yaojue," he said softly.

The maid in his arms was momentarily stunned, pressing her long legs closer to him, and replied softly, "Thank you, master."

Then Yaojue hugged him tightly and said, "Tonight, the master is mine."

The childlike words left Li Yuan slightly taken aback, and he raised his hand to hug her tightly, suddenly laughing, "Not just tonight."

"Oh, but how long do I have to wait?" Yaojue said pitifully, her tone somewhat teasing and charming, reminiscent of the innkeeper’s wife’s early style, yet even more refined.

Having said this, she added, "Then tomorrow night is also mine."

Li Yuan felt an impulse rising within him; he wanted to say, "Then I’ll speak with Huayin about making you my personal maid," because he really wished this considerate and lovely girl could stay by his side, join him in doing things...

But when the words reached his lips, he swallowed them back.

Time will reveal one’s true character.

This time... has not yet been long enough.

He hugged the maid tightly and said, "Alright, tomorrow night is also yours."

...

Three days later.

Using the excuse of "going out to gain insights on a journey," Li Yuan left the Divine Wood Hall.

Once out of the Divine Wood Hall, he quickly took a detour, changing his attire, and only after completely ensuring that no one was following him did he take out a "pale rouge box" and slowly applied Yin makeup.

Moments later, a young man full of Heroic Qi stood in the forest, murmuring, "To unite action with intention, starting with the Overlord Blade, and hopefully tread the path of the ’Thousand-Mile Heroic Vision’ to its peak."

Li Yuan took a deep breath, silently hypnotizing himself, muttering, "Sharpening a sword for ten years, its frosty edge never tested. Today, I present it to you, who among you has any injustice?"

He drew a simple iron blade from his waist and swung it fiercely.

The Sword Qi surged, domineering and decisive.

More importantly, Li Yuan’s heart was filled with a heroic spirit, intolerant of all evils in the world.

So...

He stepped out of the Yuantian Mansion, heading towards the neighboring Lingyou Prefecture, slightly expanding his senses to listen to the movements all around.

After walking a short distance, he heard the sounds of children crying and a man’s shouting.

He quickly flickered over and saw a group of children lined up, with thick ropes tied around their hands, being dragged along by beggars in front.

On either side of the procession, several beggars were discussing with jesting smiles.

"This child is good, turning him into a Snake Man will surely be an easy way to make money."

"And this one, this child is small and delicate. If locked in a jar every day, he won’t grow tall, and by then, as a miniature beauty, he could be sold for quite a bit."

"I know, hehe, Master Ji’s house has received such beauties before. However, these beauties, while fresh, don’t live long, getting sick after a few tormentations."

The beggars talked animatedly, discussing sordid separations and deals.

Meanwhile, the children wept, their faces filled with despair.

Among them were those who got lost and those sold off by their families.

Of course... those families probably didn’t know the children would end up in such places when selling them. But they also knew the buyers usually lied, yet poverty led them to send the children to hell with their own hands.

The children more or less knew the terror of the Beggar Gang in Mianzhou Prefecture.

This was the top force in the Mianzhou Prefecture’s Social World, said to have hundreds of times more numbers than the lofty Divine Wood Hall.

How could they escape such power?

Li Yuan felt rage bubbling within him, muttering "Damned" under his breath, and then flashed forward, drawing his long blade, the chilly gleam slicing down the beggars one by one.

The last beggar, terrified, fell to the ground, shouting, "You... how dare you? We are the Beggar Gang."

Li Yuan, now in a fury, responded, "Then how dare you abduct these children?"

The beggar said, "It’s always been this way, perfectly natural! Among the beggars of the Mianzhou Path, half are like this... Can you meddle with this?"

The children huddled together, watching Li Yuan with bated breath.

Li Yuan stepped forward and, with one strike, cut the beggar in half, then turned to the dazed children, saying, "Come with uncle."

The children followed him numbly, devoid of questions or words. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Li Yuan led the children around but found... these children could not be accepted anywhere.

The martial arts schools found them too weak, entertainment parlors thought them unclean, even maid and servant positions were unfilled due to their young age...

Li Yuan, helpless, first settled the children, then sought out the nearby "Fujia Commerce Association" and found the widow First Madam there.

Ying Mei’Er looked at Li Yuan with curiosity, and even though he wore the Yin makeup, she could still feel this was her master, and respectfully said, "Master, please instruct."

Li Yuan directly spoke of the headache-inducing matters.

Ying Mei’Er covered her mouth with a laugh, saying, "Our Fujia Commerce Association is vast and lacks many servants and maids. Since they are sent by the master, I can also give them an opportunity to study or practice martial arts.

Those good at studying, I can make them stewards.
