Refining the Mountains and Rivers-Chapter 1665 – Questioning

Chapter 1665 – Questioning

Bull Bean had a secret that she had never told anyone. It was that she was timid. So when she saw such a huge group of people approach angrily, Bull Bean’s first reaction was to hurry and hide.

She was even more uninterested in what they said about collaborating to get rid of the demon. What Little Wuji from Infinite Monastery? She had never even heard of him, and that showed that he was not very powerful.

But the great demon hiding in the river was really powerful and she did not want to go and give herself away.

But soon, Bull Bean felt filled with indignance at the injustice and forgot about how scared she was. Her eyes widened as she gritted her teeth. How could there be such a despicable demon in this world!

It captured an entire family of four and ate the parents in front of the children. It even intentionally let the children live for a while so that their hearts would be filled with despair. This was all so that they would be more tasty when it ate them.

Bull Bean was determined to save these pitiful children. She could not let them die so helplessly.

As for what she said about not being nosy for the next two months, it was long forgotten.

I, Bull Bean, will condemn evil and uphold virtue. I want to be a beautiful female warrior in a world filled with warmth and battle against evil.

My cultivation is not very good so my ancestor said that the best way is to use treasures and objects to knock the opponent out.

But this time, in order to protect her treasures, Bull Bean purposely hid everything her ancestor gave her. Currently she was only carrying a few average items…but they should still be useful. Just now, she had frightened the fish demon!

Amongst the group, the real Little Wuji glanced at the jade hairpin that Bull Bean was holding in her hands. His eyes heated up.

Of course, it was just a second and Bull Bean did not realize anything wrong. As she turned, he smiled and nodded at her, “With you joining us, we have a greater chance of success. If everyone was as kind and virtuous as you, there would not be injustice in this world.”

The cultivator in the green robe immediately praised and nodded, “That’s right!” He then frowned in annoyance, “Like the people in the carriage that just passed. They only want to take care of themselves. If everyone were like them, what would the world become? Disgusting!”

Bull Bean asked and bit her lip. So they were this kind of people. If she had known, she would not have helped them.

The cultivator in the green robe noticed her expression, “Do you know them?”

Bull Bean was conflicted and was embarrassed to tell them of the courageous deed she did, “We’ve met a few times but we are not close.”

The cultivator in green reminded her seriously, “Since you know their true colors, it is best if you stay away from them.”

Bull Bean nodded unenthusiastically.

In the distance, with his back against a huge tree, Qin Yu’s mouth twitched. He could not help but doubt this woman’s taste. How did she manage to survive until today? She looked like a character that would not survive more than three episodes in a drama.

Just now, that Little Wuji’s eyes almost bulged out of his head, how did she not realize? This was so tiring.

Qin Yu rubbed his eyebrows as he got up to follow them.

He could take action now and bring her away. Little Wuji would not be able to do anything about it. But he was worried that the woman in the bamboo hat would not be willing and would be disappointed with him. Then, she might suddenly go crazy and be determined to die.

Forget it, since he had already followed them, he did not mind using a bit more time to let her see those people’s true colors clearly. He would then save her.

Saving her when she was in danger was so much better than preventing danger from happening. He would also take this chance to teach this woman a lesson. She could be a kind person, but she should watch out.

After all, it was not like she would be lucky every time.

The fish demon in the bottom of the Azure River seemed to have detected the group of people coming. The turbulent water started to rage. ‘Roar roar’.

Little Wuji took up his role and stepped forward. He said sternly, “Fellow cultivators, do not worry. I have a high quality Demon Trapping Rope. It will make this great demon helpless!”

The river water exploded with a ‘boom’ and a dark figure flew out. It was over three meters long and it looked like a sinister demon fish.

Little Wuji was somewhat impressive. Seeing the demon fish fly towards him with its mouth open, he was not at all afraid as he shouted and waved his sleeve. A gold rope immediately appeared and flew out, binding the demon fish.

Roar –

The demon fish growled angrily as its body was trapped by the Demon Rope. The threatening aura that it gave off immediately decreased by half as its heavy body fell into the water.

“Yes!”

“What a powerful move!”

“With this Demon Trapping Rope, we will kill the demon today!”

“Everyone, while it is weakened, let’s all make a move and kill this demon fish that attacked innocents!”

Little Wuji spoke with bravado. His sleeves were flapping in the wind and he looked impressive.

Bull Bean was slightly stunned.

She did not think that the Demon Trapping Rope was of very high quality. Though it was shining, its aura was mediocre.

Could it be another treasure that she could not truly feel? Then, according to her ancestors, it must be a top treasure.

It would be a piece of cake to kill a demon fish.

After all, with a supreme Demon Trapping Rope, it just needed to bind the target and the demon would turn into a puddle of blood. It would not be able to fight back.

Bull Bean could not understand.

But at this moment, everyone was making a move. She thought about it and as she lifted her jade hairpin, a flash of light exploded in the hairpin. The demon fish that had been bound suddenly stiffened as it roared even louder. Waves surged in all directions.

At the same time, a green water aura surrounded it. It gritted its teeth and complained, how could they have such a powerful lightning object?

More importantly, they covered it so well and the demon almost died because of it.

Hiding in the distance, Qin Yu had a realization. No wonder Rourou changed her mind and allowed him to make this trip. She probably detected the aura from this hairpin.

When she referred to chesspiece, she was most likely talking about the person backing this woman in the bamboo hat.

The best proof was this jade hairpin that had lightning powers. It seemed like he had no need to save her.

The aura that the jade hairpin was releasing now was only about thirty percent of its potential. Qin Yu could sense that the lightning power in the hairpin was very powerful.

If she used it, it would be enough to turn the demon fish into ashes and she would not even have to aim.

The demon fish was of the water element and lightning was its greatest weakness!

But what happened next made Qin Yu’s mouth twitched. As he watched her, he subconsciously wondered – how did you manage to survive till today?

Little Wuji bellowed, “Oh no, the demon fish has a secret attack. Fellow cultivators, if any of you have a lightning object, lend it to me, if not, it will be too late!”

Bull Bean, “...”

She looked up and everyone was looking at her.

After all, the jade hairpin was now flashing in her hands and everyone knew that it was special.

Some looked surprised, some looked appreciative, but more looked persuasive.

They seemed to be saying – what are you waiting for? Hurry and pass the lightning object to Wuji.

Bull Bean felt that something was not right. But having so many eyes on her made her panic.

As she panicked, her timid nature showed. She did not know what was happening and handed over her jade hairpin in confusion.

Qin Yu rubbed his face and sighed.

Holding onto the jade hairpin, Little Wuji’s eyes shone with delight. He laughed out loud, “Thank you, Lady. After I kill the demon, I will return it to you.”

Jumping, he headed straight into the river, “Die demon!”

By the riverside, everyone’s eyes widened as they saw how he jumped aggressively into the river.

“Let’s go. We have to follow Wuji to kill the demon!”

Someone shouted and everyone flew into the air. They fell like dumplings into the river.

This included Bull Bean, who was still in a state of confusion.

It was only when her Water Resistant Talisman activated and formed a shield around her that she finally regained her consciousness.

Her eyes widened. Bull Bean seemed to realize something and was prepared to jump out, but it was already too late.

Boom –

The river water became dense and, like a water mountain, it was pushing down onto all of them. It trapped them deep underwater, rendering them helpless.

A roar erupted from the water, “Disgusting foreign cultivators, how dare you attack my general’s mansion. You all deserve to die!”

The water demon was now wearing completely black armor. It swam towards them aggressively and was glaring at them.

The rope that had bounded its body earlier was gone. Little Wuji, who had jumped in first, was nowhere to be found.

The cultivators, who had been excited to jump into the water to kill the great demon, were now all pale.

They were not stupid, and even those that were slightly slower knew that something was wrong. Little Wuji had disappeared and the demon fish had reappeared wearing armor from the Great Qin Empire. It also mentioned the general’s mansion…fear surged in all of their hearts as they were extremely pale.

The sinister eyes of the demon fish were now filled with arrogance. This bunch of fools had offered themselves.

Even if it killed all of them now, there would not be any trouble. Because they were the ones that attacked the underwater mansion first. As one of the demon generals that had submitted to the Jade Gate, within Great General Zhao Yuan’s rules, no one would be able to find fault.

As it thought of this, the demon fish’s eyes grew violent and it looked bloodthirsty.

Truthfully speaking, ever since it sided with Jade Gate and became the owner of this river, the demon fish had been living a good life.

If not for its cultivation reaching a bottleneck, requiring it to quickly consume cultivators in order to break through, it would not have taken the risk.

If anyone knew about a demon general swallowing cultivators, it would be sure to die. It had merely took the opportunity when Great General Zhao Yuan was causing changes to secretly make a move.

But in these last few days, it caused too big of a commotion. Hence, the demon fish had devised a plot and left the siblings behind and sent someone to stir up trouble, leading to today.

As a demon fish, that was normally not known for its wisdom, to be able to devise such a good plot was simply perfect.

As for the so called Little Wuji…there has never been a shortage of people who were afraid to die and was willing to sacrifice others to save themselves. Once, it was done making use of him, he was useless.

Truly priceless advice!

The demon fish licked its lips and started drooling. Its drool was washed away by the river. As it looked at the cultivators, it felt its stomach burn from hunger.

Who should I eat first? Its eyes darted around and landed on…Bull Bean.

It was simple logic. Amongst all these cultivators, only this girl felt like a threat.

If it was going to eat, it would eat her first!

Moreover, a lady cultivator that was so fair and soft must be very delicious.

Sss –

Its drool was appearing!

The demon fish swiped its tail and swam towards Bull Bean, locking onto its target.

The cultivators all looked horrified as they rushed away.

Realizing that she was the only one left standing on the spot, Bull Bean’s face paled under her hat. They said they were coming to kill the demon together. Where did they all run to? But this was not the time to think about this; she was going to die.

What should I do? I can’t beat the demon fish and its teeth are too long and sharp. Will I bleed? Definitely! I may even be bitten into two and get swallowed.

Hoohoohoohoo –

Old Ancestor, I am so scared!
