Chapter 20 Another Kill
"It's delicious."
Li Jun licked the empty bowl of braised pork clean, making it spotless and requiring no washing.
Li Yuan looked at him with a half-smile, "Would you like to try something even more delicious?"
"besides?"
The little guy immediately put down his bowl, grabbed Li Yuan's hand, and said in a spoiled tone, "What's so delicious, brother?"
"for you!"
Li Yuan took out a package wrapped in oil paper from his pocket; it was a square cake he had specially bought the night before.
"What?"
Li Jun's eyes were full of anticipation as he carefully opened the package, revealing a white square cake.
"Square cake!"
He exclaimed in surprise.
"Ah Yuan, why are you..." Wang Xiulan was about to speak when she thought, "What kind of time is this to buy such pastries? I may spoil you, but this is really too wasteful."
But seeing Li Yuan shake his head at him, he ultimately didn't say anything.
Li Jun picked up a piece with her little hand and looked at it, wanting to eat it but reluctant to part with it, her little face full of struggle.
"Eat up, eat up, I'll buy you more later!"
He glanced at Li Yuan, then turned to look at Wang Xiulan.
"Eat."
She took a small bite, exclaiming, "So sweet! So delicious!"
Her eyes were squinting with laughter.
How could it not taste good?
Putting everything else aside, these people in Willow Lane probably haven't even forgotten what sweet tastes like.
"Brother, you should eat too!"
He took out a piece and gave it to Li Yuan, then took another piece and gave it to Wang Xiulan, saying, "Mother, you should eat too, it's delicious."
"Mom doesn't like sweets, you eat it."
Li Jun blinked, "It's so delicious, how could Mother not like it?"
He muttered to himself.
Li Yuan put a piece of square cake in his mouth. It was very sweet. Who wouldn't like to eat it?
Wang Xiulan felt sorry for him; although he was sensible, he was still too young.
"Maybe I should buy more next time?"
.....
After having breakfast, Li Yuan practiced the Willow Leaf Step in his room.
The progress is also increasing rapidly.
It was already 7 o'clock last night.
Now there's no need to worry about food. Although the fire is only lit twice a day, Wang Xiulan cooks extra for each meal, so it's equivalent to him eating four meals a day.
He also kept an eye on the situation outside.
They certainly won't let it go after killing a ninth-rank expert from the Wild Wolf Gang.
But unexpectedly, the day was peaceful.
The Wild Wolf Gang members did not show up either.
"That shouldn't be the case."
"Or are you afraid to act rashly because you don't know my strength?"
In the end, Li Yuan still felt it was the latter.
Two days later!
Li Yuan stepped into the doorway with his willow-leaf-shaped movements, coordinating with his qi and blood, making him seem to blend into the wind, and leaping nearly two zhang high.
night!
After changing his appearance, Li Yuan left home quietly without telling Wang Xiulan.
...
A small courtyard in Baiyunfang.
This is Tie Niu's home; Li Yuan had already found out about it beforehand.
With a slight tap of her toes, she flew into the courtyard like a falling leaf, without making a sound.
"Don't worry, I'll be collecting my dues in a few days. This time I'm adding 30%, I'll buy it for you then!"
As soon as they landed, Tie Niu's voice rang out.
"Sir, you said it yourself!"
A charming voice followed closely behind.
"Then you'd better do your best tonight."
Inside the room, Tie Niu looked at the beautiful woman beside him and his appetite was whetted. He had spent a lot of money to redeem her from the brothel.
Her looks and skills truly captivated him, making him unable to resist.
At this moment, I don't even want to drink alcohol.
Outside!
"Just as I suspected!" Li Yuan thought to himself. Just as he had guessed, he had added 30%.
"Killing him would be a way for me to rid the people of a scourge!"
He then drew the sword from his waist and strode away.
With his eighth-rank rank and willow-leaf steps, Tie Niu was nothing more than a lamb to the slaughter in his eyes.
Bang!
Li Yuan kicked the door open!
The drunken, lustful Tie Niu was slightly taken aback. When he saw Li Yuan, he instinctively became wary, abruptly stood up, grabbed the long sword beside him, and asked, "Who are you?"
Li Yuan darted forward like a soaring eagle.
"court death!"
With a furious roar, Tie Niu leaped high into the air, stepping on the table, and with both hands holding a knife, attacked Li Yuan in mid-air at an extremely tricky angle.
At the same time, a sinister glint appeared in his eyes, as if he saw his long sword about to pierce his heart.
But the next moment he was dumbfounded.
Li Yuan turned in mid-air, as light as a bird, his horizontal sword flashing past.
An arm flew into the air.
Then Li Yuan kicked Tie Niu in the chest.
He flew backwards like a parabola, crashing heavily against the wall before finally sliding to the ground.
"ah--"
The beautiful woman standing nearby screamed at the sight, but the next moment, Li Yuan raised his hand and slashed with his knife.
A knife was plunged into her heart.
As the sword was drawn, the beautiful young woman's eyes widened, and she slowly went limp, her expression one of terror.
Li Yuan merely glanced at her coldly.
Is it a false accusation?
Some, but not much.
Didn't she also enjoy the wealth that Tie Niu plundered from the people?
They deserve to die!
Clatter, clatter, clatter... Li Yuan slowly walked towards Tie Niu. Tie Niu was leaning against the wall, clutching his right arm, his face pale, his eyes filled with terror as he pleaded loudly, "Hero, spare my life!"
"I'll agree to anything as long as you don't kill me!"
He was once arrogant and domineering in Willow Lane, able to intimidate everyone with just a glance. Now, he grovels and begs for mercy, only asking Li Yuan to spare his life.
How ironic.
As the two drew closer, especially seeing Li Yuan holding a horizontal sword and deliberately dragging it on the ground, making a harsh metallic sound that seemed like a death knell to him.
Tie Niu broke down, his legs trembling. This grown man was almost in tears. Li Yuan remained silent, drawing closer, his cold eyes fixed on him like a dead man. "Don't...don't kill..."
Swoosh—
A sword was held to his neck. "Hand over all the money and books about martial arts!"
"Will you let me go if I hand it over?"
A glimmer of hope suddenly appeared in Tie Niu's eyes.
"You can take the bet, but if you don't pay up, I'll kill you right now!"
Li Yuan said coldly.
"I'll hand it over, I'll hand it over..."
bet?
He didn't dare at all! "It's in the inner room, I'll take you there!"
He then struggled to his feet, with Li Yuan behind him and the sword pressed against his neck.
The inner room.
Despite the excruciating pain, Tie Niu took out two booklets and a small bag from a small cabinet and handed them to Li Yuan. "One cultivation manual, one martial arts technique, and this is all the money I have."
"very good..."
Li Yuan was very satisfied.
Seeing this, Tie Niu immediately asked, "Can you let me go now?"
The sword across his neck made him tremble, fearing that if he shook his hand, he would lose his life.
"Can!"
Li Yuan laughed, and Tie Niu laughed along with him.
But the next moment!
The smile on his face froze. The knife sliced across his neck like meat, instantly filling the room with the stench of blood. "You said you wouldn't kill me..."
Before I could utter a word, my body collapsed with a thud.
"You'd believe me if I told you?"
He said casually, "How dare you covet my mother!"
Damn!
