Chapter 158: Li and Huang's hatred is irreconcilable

In the eastern part of Zhenhun Street, in a forest.

In midsummer July, the clear streams are swollen, and countless streams are filled with tiny red fallen petals. Fish kiss the petals lightly, and then run away, scattering them into clear ripples.

A white-haired girl leaned against a big tree, and because she leaned against the towering old tree, her figure looked even more petite and fragile. The girl sat on the shiny stone on the shore, her bare feet dangling in the stream water, her smooth legs gently swaying, the light water droplets and ripples like clusters of blooming flowers, her white hair, in the mottled sunlight, made her more delicate and lovely, her expression was very focused, the sunlight fell on her face, sparkling and jumping, as bright as clouds.

Opposite her sat a young girl, who was completely different in that she had long hair as black as ink. Her hair was so black that it was impossible to distinguish the strands of hair, as if the painter had used the thickest ink to draw it all in one go. The black seemed very soft, but it was so dazzling, like an inky firework lit under the blue sky and broad daylight, so bright that it attracted all eyes. The girl had a beautiful figure, neither slender nor bloated. Her purple dress was clinging to her delicate and beautiful back, and a section of her snow-white neck was exposed on the collar, like the gentle and bright moonlight in the deepest night. She gently washed the water surface, and the hem of her skirt evenly covered her knees.

The two girls were Yang Luoqi and Sun Zhantian. After Li Ye and them eliminated the evil spirits, they knew that it was not a place to stay for long, so they left. On the way, they encountered this dense and lush forest and went in to rest.

The two girls were playing in the water by the stream, enjoying the peaceful time, but at this moment Li Ye was carrying the burden for them and hunting hard.

The young man in white was wearing a pure white robe and a long sword tied around his waist. He stood in the green forest of the green mountains, gazing at an elegant sika deer in the distance.

The sika deer walked gracefully in the morning sunshine, its fur was as white as snow, and there were a few beautiful plum blossoms hanging on its horns. The boy took a deep breath and prepared to start his hunt.

He approached lightly, his body as agile as a cheetah. His eyes were firm and focused, and he knew that he could only attack at the right time.

The deer sensed the boy's presence, raised its head alertly, and stamped its hooves, ready to flee. But the boy was already prepared.

He quickly drew the bowstring and aimed at the deer's heart. His fingers relaxed and an arrow shot out at high speed.

The arrow flew through the air, aiming straight at the deer. It pierced through the air and hit the deer's chest accurately.

The deer let out a mournful cry, its body shaking, but still struggling hard. The young man approached quickly without being ignored and drew his long sword.

He calmly and decisively ended the suffering of the sika deer. He felt the calmness and decisiveness required in this hunting process.

The young man squatted down and gently stroked the fur of the sika deer, expressing his respect and gratitude to it. After all, the sika deer was a physical donation, using its life and body to fill the stomachs of him, Sun Zhantian, and Yang Luoqi. He understood that this was a gift from nature.

In fact, with Li Ye's level of cultivation, he could just kill the enemy instantly, there was no need to go through so much trouble. However, hunting is a fun thing, it would be boring to use spiritual power, it is still nice to experience life in daily life.

Without staying here for long, he picked up the deer corpse in front of him and walked towards where the two girls were.

As a result, when he returned to the ancient tree, he saw the girl playing in the water. He was so angry that he shouted at Sun Zhantian and Yang Luoqi:

"Well, I'm working hard to hunt and get food for you, but you're just playing in the water here!"

The sound interrupted the two girls' actions. They turned around immediately and saw the deer corpse on Li Ye's body. Their eyes immediately lit up and they kept swallowing their saliva.

"Great, we have venison to eat!" Seeing the two girls being so heartless, Li Ye grinned and began to deal with the deer carcass in front of him. He used the Seven Star Dragon Spring to skin and remove the tendons of the deer carcass and cut it into several parts.

Li Ye and two girls brought barbecue utensils to a scenic open space, ready to enjoy a delicious outdoor barbecue. They found a flat place, used local materials and surrounding trees to build a simple stand.

Then spiritual power continued to surge on his palm, purple flames gushed out, and then the bracket in front of him was instantly burned clean. He then realized that the power of this divine fire was too strong and could not be used for barbecue at all. Then, the spiritual power turned into fire, evolved into an ordinary flame, and started a bonfire.

Li Ye took out the fresh venison, cut it into pieces, and marinated it with special seasonings, while the two girls prepared the grill and charcoal.

The bonfire was burning vigorously, the hot flames were dancing, and the tempting aroma was emitted. Li Ye put the marinated venison on bamboo sticks and put it on the grill.

The flames licked the venison, making crackling sounds. Li Ye and the two girls took turns turning the venison to ensure that each piece was evenly heated.

As time went by, the venison gradually became golden and attractive, emitting an alluring aroma. Li Ye took the roasted venison with an iron tong and placed it on a plate.

The three of them sat around the campfire, holding the barbecue in their hands and enjoying the deliciousness. They took a bite, and the tenderness of the venison and the spicy flavor of the seasoning blended in their mouths, making them intoxicated.

Laughter and joy filled the whole scene as the three talked about each other's stories and experiences. They enjoyed this special moment and felt the joy brought by friendship and food.

As night fell and the starry sky shone faintly, Li Ye and the two girls leaned against the campfire and continued to savor the delicious venison, leaving behind beautiful and unforgettable memories.

After three rounds of meals, the three began to talk about business.

Li Ye asked Yang Luoqi:

"Luo Qi, you are in such a dangerous situation. Have you found out any useful information?"

Yang Luoqi stuffed the barbecue into his mouth and said incoherently:
"The leader of this evil spirit army is called Huang Chao."

"Huang Chao? The man-eating devil Huang Chao from the late Tang Dynasty?"

"Yes, it is the great devil Huang Chao who burned the inner treasury to ashes and trampled the bones of nobles in the streets!"

Hearing this, Li Ye's expression turned slightly cold. He and Huang Chao were destined enemies. As the inheritor of the Li Tang Dynasty, he naturally could not reconcile with Huang Chao. What's more, Huang Chao still had a part of the dragon vein of the Tang Dynasty in his hands. Now he was bringing an army of evil spirits, sweeping across the East District, occupying many Soul-Realizing Streets, burning, killing and looting. Countless Soul-Realizing Streets were turned into scorched earth, and countless undead were slaughtered by Huang Chao and his subordinates. Whether it was reasonable or emotional, and whether it was public or private, he was bound to destroy Huang Chao and his subordinates.

Huang Chao was the most important leader of a peasant uprising in the late Tang Dynasty and later established the Great Qi regime.
