Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter-Chapter 375 - 142: Total Purge, Wood Demon Taming Skill

Chapter 375: Chapter 142: Total Purge, Wood Demon Taming Skill

After a long while, Li Yuan was escorted into the inner residence of the Jing Family and settled into the elegant courtyard he had seen at the wedding banquet a few days prior.

Cui Huayin and Yaojue moved in as well.

This simple act of moving in, however, signified the beginning of a harmonious relationship between the Jing System and the Gu System.

The courtyard was made of wood, exuding a faint, cool fragrance, warm in winter and cool in summer, with no mosquitoes.

Though the yard was much smaller, Li Yuan didn’t need a large courtyard anyway; his family wasn’t big, so why need a large yard?

Yet, he still had to continue the act...

Thus, he sat alone on the stone steps outside the door, staring at the pale white sea of flowers in the distance, appearing lost and distracted.

Outside the house, he could feel people subtly observing him, both men and women. This was the heart of the Divine Wood Hall Vice Hall Master Jing Family’s domain, and being observed by the Jing Family once he was within the heart was to be expected.

Inside the house, the oiled paper window was slightly ajar, and Yaojue looked at Li Yuan, wanting to go out, but restrained herself. The lady had said "he needs some quiet time," and Yaojue felt she was right.

Pain, expressed early, is always better than suppressing it with something.

But Xiaozhao...

Yaojue recalled the lovely little girl, remembered the scenes of them holding hands, walking in the sunlight, setting up the easel by the tree, beside the stone, in any picturesque corner, picking up the pen to sketch, and her eyes inevitably became moist.

With wetness came redness, and she closed the window, sobbing quietly.

Li Yuan heard Yaojue cry and scratched his head, not expecting that this maid and Xiaozhao had really developed a bond...

The pale white flowers, named "Sweet Alyssum," looked like a sea of snow surging in the night breeze, undulating and swaying, the mixed faint scent in the wind wrapped with the enticing aroma of meat, transforming into strength within the body.

Even without intentionally cultivating, the body naturally absorbed the external energy, thereby becoming stronger.

Soon, hurried footsteps sounded from afar.

Jing Banfeng saw Li Yuan sitting on the stone steps and wasn’t surprised. He carried two jars of fine wine and sat directly on the stone steps beside Li Yuan.

As a superior, he could sit on a golden throne or on dirt and dust; this was a basic quality of a superior.

"Hundred Flowers Brew, a specialty of Divine Wood Hall."

Jing Banfeng broke the seal and handed it to Li Yuan, then opened a jar himself, drinking boldly, looking up at the moon in the sky, and speaking leisurely.

"Liu Luzi will lure out the walking corpses, and we will take the opportunity to wipe out all the walking corpses in the Divine Wood Hall Inner City while rescuing Xiaozhao.

They kidnapped Xiaozhao, surely to coerce you, so... Xiaozhao will be fine."

"Thank you, Patriarch."

Li Yuan responded, then took the wine jar and drank two sips deeply.

With just those two sips, he felt slightly dizzy, much like an ordinary person getting drunk on strong liquor, one sip after another.

Jing Banfeng laughed and said, "Master Li, take it easy, this wine is meant for the intoxication of Sixth and Fifth Grades, a Seventh Grade Martial Artist would topple over with just one sip."

Li Yuan steadied himself and said, "Hundred Flowers Brew, good wine."

Jing Banfeng replied, "Indeed, it’s good wine."

Li Yuan turned the topic back and asked, "When do we go to find Xiaozhao?"

Jing Banfeng replied, "This... We must plan well, within a couple of days. Rest assured, Master Li, I will go as well."

Li Yuan said, "I will go too."

Jing Banfeng said, "In that chaos, Master Li, it’s better for you to stay here and wait for good news."

Li Yuan said, "No, I must go... I am her father."

Father...

Jing Banfeng was somewhat silent and wanted to laugh, but eventually, he just said, "We’re all fathers, let’s drink."

...

...

The next evening.

"If Master Li wants to go, let him go. Nothing will happen in the Divine Wood Hall Inner City."

A gentle voice arose.

And Jing Baikou, serving as the reporter, respectfully responded, then added, "Everything else has been arranged."

Beside Jing Baikou was a woman in a black robe with dark patterns, as sinister as a snake.

Liu Luzi stepped forward, trembling with fear, and said, "Hall Master, this time... I will atone for my mistakes, I will not let you down."

"So after your investigation, none of the walking corpses you can contact admit they kidnapped Li Yuan’s daughter?"

"Reporting to the Hall Master, the walking corpses have different tasks. Only the overall coordinator would know everything, and that person... has already been killed by you."

"So is Li Yuan’s daughter dead, or not?" Qing Hancheng stood with hands behind his back, asking indifferently.

"Not dead, definitely not dead," Liu Luzi hurriedly stated, her voice a bit panicked, fearing to make any mistake now.

Beside her, Jing Baikou glanced helplessly at this Liu Family ancestor.

Clearly, Liu Luzi’s mindset was somewhat collapsing, so... her intelligence was also affected.

Jing Baikou stepped forward and patched, "Hall Master, I think... She should be dead.

The Black Lotus Sect is wicked beyond measure, the walking corpses aren’t even human anymore, taking along a girl who isn’t even Ninth Grade, how could she survive?

Whether it’s poison or Yin Qi, as long as she comes into contact with even a bit, Li Yuan’s daughter would lose her life."

"No, she’s not dead, how could she be dead?" Liu Luzi urgently pleaded, "Hall Master, please give your subordinate another chance, I will find out, investigate..."

Qing Hancheng gently interrupted her and said, "Liu Luzi, you’ve been tired all day, go rest."

"Subordinate... I’m not tired, subordinate..." Liu Luzi was indeed very flustered, her century of cultivation can’t be wasted in one moment, she can’t make mistakes.

Jing Baikou looked at her speechlessly, whispered, "Liu Luzi, are you not even listening to the Hall Master’s words?!"

Liu Luzi’s body shook, and she finally respectfully withdrew.
