Chapter 179: What's the big deal about a mere fatal injury?
midnight.

Zhao Xiong carried Yu Canhua on his back and quietly entered a desolate mountain area where few people had ever been. Everything was silent around him, as if he was on the edge of the world.

But he did not feel lonely, he even enjoyed this moment very much.

The faint body fragrance emanating from Yu Canhua was like an aphrodisiac, making Captain Zhao, who had escaped from the prison after escaping from her, in a state of excitement, his face flushed with excitement.

"Hmm~"

After a moment, Yu Canhua's heartbeat accelerated and she woke up from her coma. She found herself no longer in prison, but being carried on someone's back. She subconsciously slapped someone.

"puff!"

Zhao Xiong suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and his body fell to the ground uncontrollably.

Yu Canhua took the opportunity to push and use the force to break free from the restraints. The bastard Zhao Xiong refused to let go even after she hit him with a palm and he vomited blood.

There was no other way, she had to do it forcefully.

However, Zhao Xiong, who was beaten to the point of vomiting blood, wiped the blood nonchalantly, stood up and looked over here stupidly.

"Jade Remnant Flower~~"

"Don't be so affectionate!"

Yu Canhua frowned and said speechlessly: "I have never seen someone as unreasonable as you. You have only met me a few times, but you act like you are infatuated with me. You are attracted by my beauty. Do you really think I don't understand anything?"

"..."

Zhao Xiong's old face turned red.

Yu Canhua was right, love at first sight can most of the time be described as lust at first sight.

But he would never admit that he was attracted by her beauty. He could only look at her infatuatedly and said emotionally: "Yu Canhua, no matter how you look at me, I rescued you from prison this time just to save you from suffering. I can't bear to see you beheaded, die tragically in a foreign land, and become a wandering ghost."

"Humph, you sound nice, but deep down you just want to sleep with me, right?"

Yu Canhua could see through Zhao Xiong at a glance. In the past, she would meet dozens or even twenty men like Zhao the Constable who were obsessed with women every year. They all pretended to be infatuated lovers.

In fact, they all coveted her body and wanted to take her back as a concubine.

The only man that Yu Canhua could not see through and whom she admired very much was Cheng Long, who had attacked her ruthlessly today in the Yunlang Mountains.

He was clearly beaten severely and even his arms were removed.

But she couldn't feel any hatred towards him. Instead, she thought the other person was very manly.

"..."

Zhao Xiong blushed and said, "Yu Can, you only have two choices now. One, break my neck, and then return to Huxian to save people, and sacrifice yourself; two, run away with me, and from now on, we will farm and weave, and never touch a knife again."

"Since you are so affectionate, take a knife and stab yourself three times to prove your love for me." Yu Canhua said sinisterly with a slight smile on her face.

"Okay~~"

Zhao Xiong gritted his teeth, pulled out the dagger, and stabbed the blade into his stomach without hesitation.

laugh!
laugh!
laugh!
After three consecutive stabs, Zhao Xiong's abdomen was covered in blood.

Seeing this, Yu Canhua, who had a gloomy face, could not help but be moved. She softened her attitude and said, "Why are you so stupid? You did everything I said. Are you going to die?"

"Yu Can, as long as I can be with you, a fatal injury is nothing to worry about!"

Zhao Xiong's face turned pale. He pressed the wound with his hand and used his internal energy to heal the wound and stop the bleeding. The stab was quite hard and if it was not treated soon, he might bleed to death.

"I don't deserve you to do this."

"No, you are worth it! In my eyes, you are more pitiful than Chang'e in the sky, and you are worthy of my lifelong care..." Zhao Xiong's sweet words came out of his mouth.

"fool!"

Yu Canhua threw herself into Zhao Xiong's arms emotionally.

"For you, I am willing to be stupid!"

"do not leave Me!"

"Yu Canhua, I have waited for this day for a long, long time..."

With the beauty in his arms, Zhao Xiong excitedly stretched out his hands and stroked Yu Canhua's jade-like back. He really didn't care about the wound on her abdomen at all.

The two of them hugged each other tightly.

Suddenly—

"Ah~~" A shrill scream came from Zhao Xiong's mouth.

He lowered his head stupidly, only to see a pool of blood three inches below his abdomen. The dagger placed aside had fallen into Yu Canhua's hand. A ray of moonlight sprinkled on the blade, emitting a hint of cold light.

"Get off!"

Yu Canhua pushed Zhao Xiong away coldly, wiping the blood off her arm with the clothes on her arm, and said, "Captain Zhao, do you still have the ability to take me away now?"

"Ah, ah ah..."

Zhao Xiong covered his crotch in pain and let out hysterical howls.

At this point, there was one more rootless person in the world.

……

Yunlang Town.

The first ray of purple sunlight in the early morning penetrated the mist of the mountains and shone into the Mo Mansion.

In the guest room, Cheng Long absorbed the purple energy from the morning glow. Weak warm currents flowed into his body. Each one was not as good as the essence of living beings absorbed by killing people, but it was better in that a little bit adds up to a lot.

Unfortunately, the purple air coming from the east is very rare.

As the sky brightened, Cheng Long finished his practice, opened the door and walked out of the guest room.

At this time, the servants of the Mo family had all gotten up, some were sweeping the floor, some were cooking, and the courtyard was filled with a strong atmosphere of life.

The Mo Mansion in Yunlang Town is the old residence of the Mo family. In addition, the Mo family also built a new house in Qiong County, 20 miles away, which is five times the size of the old house.

But Mochou usually lived with her mother in the old house. The new house in Qiong County was mainly occupied by her father and younger brother.

Therefore, Cheng Long has not met his father-in-law yet. He has only seen his mother-in-law, who is over 40 years old, graceful and elegant. She is quite good-looking, and if you look closely, you can see the shadow of Mo Chou in her.

When she was young, she must have been a stunning beauty that amazed the whole area.

"Mr. Cheng, the Madam wants to see you."

Just as Cheng Long was strolling around, a little maid, about fifteen or sixteen years old, hurried up to him and said.

"Lead the way ahead."

Following the maid into the main hall, Cheng Long saw Mo Chou and his future mother-in-law sitting together, and smiled, "Madam Mo, you look good today! Much better than yesterday."

"Haha, now that Mochou is back, all the worries in my heart are gone, and my complexion is certainly better." Mrs. Mo is a very cheerful elder. The sadness she showed when she arrived at Yunlang Town to meet them yesterday was just because she was worried about her daughter's safety.

The night before, the wedding party hurried back to Yunlang Town and said that they encountered the Ghost King who wanted to steal the bride, which scared her to death.

"Mother, Mochou has married Master Ma. My daughter is now called Zuer. She is your adopted daughter. You must remember this, otherwise Xiaoshuang will get into trouble."

Mochou was worried that her family would let the secret slip, so she asked Cheng Long to give her a nickname to prevent the maids and servants in the house from calling her the wrong person.

"You little girl, there's really nothing I can do to you."

Mrs. Mo tapped her daughter's forehead lovingly.

Last night, I learned from my daughter that her daughter and the maid had swapped identities, and Xiaoshuang, a maid, pretended to be a lady and married the young master of the Ma family in Hu County. She was really shocked.

However, things have come to this point, and Master Cheng has saved his daughter. No matter how worried she is about the truth being exposed, she has to find a way to cover it up.

"Mother, I'll leave father's affairs to you."

Mochou waved her mother's arm and acted coquettishly with a smile.

"Don't worry, Xiao Shuang has grown up under our care. It is her blessing to have such an opportunity to marry into the Ma family. I will inform your father and ask him to recognize Xiao Shuang as his daughter."

"Thank you, mother."

Mo Chou breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as the elders in the family are well informed, the married daughter Xiaoshuang won't have to worry about the truth being revealed when she returns to her parents' home.

This was no loss to the Mo family. Not only did they have an extra daughter, but their own daughter also got to be with a powerful exorcist.

It's a total win-win situation.

"Joey, you take a good rest at home. I'm going out for a walk." After breakfast, Cheng Long asked Mochou to stay in the mansion and walked along the path outside the town to Wumenju where Yan Chixia lived.

There are pavilions, towers, garden rockeries and a bamboo forest in the backyard, covering a considerable area.

It is said that this used to be the palace of Prince Yan. Later, for unknown reasons, Prince Yan lost power and the people in the palace died or fled, so that such a large mansion became an uninhabited haunted house.

In the end, Yan Chixia benefited from it.

"Creak~~"

Pushing open the wooden door that had been installed a few days ago, Cheng Long shouted at the top of his voice: "Senior Yan, I am your junior, please come and have a chat."

"No, no, go away!"

Yan Chixia's deep voice came from a building a hundred meters away.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Long's figure flashed, and the next moment, he arrived downstairs of Yan Chixia's residence.

"Senior Yan, I have no ill intentions tonight. I came to visit you only to discuss the Dao with you."

——What a fast speed!

Yan Chixia, who was lying on a straw mat in the master bedroom on the second floor, was instantly cheered up when he heard the voice coming from downstairs and the other party's powerful and upright magic power that was like a light bulb.

Obviously interested.

"Wait a moment~~"

Yan Chixia tidied up his appearance, then walked to the second-floor window, jumped down, looked Cheng Long up and down, and asked solemnly: "Whose disciple are you?"

"I have no sect or school, I am just a casual cultivator."

The moment Cheng Long saw Yan Chixia, he thought of Zhong Kui in "The Thousand Man Killer". These two characters were played by the same person. So the question is, are Yan Chixia and Zhong Kui related?

When Yan Chixia was subduing demons and monsters, he would always shout: "The heaven and the earth are boundless, I borrow your magic from you", was he borrowing the magic from Zhong Kui?
According to this calculation, there is a high probability that Yan Chixia is an incarnation sent to the human world by Zhong Kui.

"Rogue cultivator?"

Yan Chixia frowned: "Your magic power is peaceful and harmonious, you don't look like a casual cultivator without any sect or school!"

"Isn't the magic power of the senior full of righteousness?" Cheng Long replied with a smile. If he remembered correctly, Yan Chixia was also a casual cultivator who was proficient in both Buddhism and Taoism, and even obtained the Xuanyuan Sword.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that Yan Chixia and Zhong Kui are closely related.

How can ordinary people have such luck!

"Uh……"

Yan Chixia was speechless after hearing what Cheng Long said.

"Master, who is this? He looks just like me!"

A young man in his twenties ran out upon hearing the news, and looked around Cheng Long with a smile on his face. The more he looked at him, the more handsome he looked. He was even better looking than Cui Hongjian, the scholar Cheng Long was helping, only slightly inferior to him.

"Snapped!"

Yan Chixia gave the young man a chestnut and said unhappily, "How rude! How can you be so rude to guests?"

Cheng Long waved his hand, "Senior, your disciple is just curious, it won't be a problem."

"If Shi'er were half as calm as you, I would wake up laughing in my dreams."

Yan Chixia dotes on Shi'er, his disciple whom he found while taking a bath. Although the punishment is severe when the disciple makes mistakes, every punishment he gives is meant to train the disciple.

Otherwise, how could Shi'er, at such a young age, have magical powers that are not inferior to those of Taoist Simu!
