“Uh…”
As soon as he finished speaking, Shui Miao suddenly caught sight of Sun Sihan’s bare legs, his mind jolted, and he quickly improvised, saying, “Well, there’s no major issue anymore. I’ll just go outside and help Xiao Tudou…”
After saying this, Shui Miao turned around and strode out swiftly.
Originally, Shui Miao had intended to absorb the negative energy from the grateful family to cultivate his Soul Devouring Technique.
But now, he had no choice but to come out.
“It’s them! They’re using black magic!”
The woman pointed at Shui Miao and Xiao Tudou in fear, hiding behind a burly man holding a butcher’s knife. They were none other than Sun Sihan’s older brother and sister-in-law.
Initially, the group was caught up in the heated atmosphere, eager to attack someone. But upon hearing the woman’s scream, they immediately quieted down, cautiously eyeing Shui Miao.
The alley was narrow, and a few people were enough to fill it.
The man with the butcher’s knife was Sun Sihan’s older brother, Sun Changfa, who stood there dazed. Xiao Tudou had cast an illusion spell on him as instructed by Shui Miao. At this moment, in Sun Changfa’s eyes, two earth-yellow giants stood before him, and he couldn’t hear the woman’s shouting at all.
Xiao Tudou had never tried using earth-elemental energy to confuse someone before. Today, his first attempt was successful, and he was extremely excited.
Shui Miao glanced at the time and then at the crowd. These people were all commoners, each exuding a murky aura. A normal person wouldn’t be provoked into attacking with sticks and knives without understanding the situation. Shui Miao felt disgust towards them and had no desire to deal with them.
“Hey, what are you doing?”
Seeing her man unmoved, the woman pushed him a few times. Sun Changfa felt a jolt in his mind and regained clarity.
“Senior Brother, I’m still too weak. This person’s malevolence is too strong!” Xiao Tudou sighed softly and turned to Shui Miao.
“It’s okay, take it slow,” Shui Miao comforted Xiao Tudou and then heard Sun Changfa shouting to the people behind, “They’re sorcerers! Who can bring some dog blood and feces!”
“I’ll go! I’ll go!”
Indeed, there were some fearless hotheads. Three or five men actually ran off to fetch dog blood and feces.
Turning back, Sun Changfa pointed the butcher’s knife at Shui Miao and Xiao Tudou, shouting, “You two brats dared to cause trouble at my home and hit my woman! I’ll kill you today or I won’t bear the Sun name!”
“Kill them! Kill them!!”
Among the crowd, there were actually people cheering.
“Beast! You beast!!”
At this moment, Sun Sihan and her mother, supporting her father, stepped out. The old man’s spirit had visibly improved. Pointing at Sun Changfa, he shouted, “Beast, kneel down and apologize to the Immortal! The Immortal healed your sister and even removed the steel plate from her leg with bare hands. How dare you be disrespectful to the Immortal! I’ll beat you to death, you bastard!”
The old man raised his cane to strike his son.
Good! Shui Miao thought, immediately stepping forward to grasp the old man’s hand. Secretly activating his immortal energy, he transferred it to the old man, instantly invigorating him. “A son’s disobedience is a father’s fault. Elderly sir, only you can discipline this son.”
Shui Miao wanted the old man to severely beat his son.
However, the old man suddenly felt a warm current entering his body through his hand, invigorating him. Instead of striking his son, he knelt before Shui Miao: “Oh Immortal! You are truly a living Bodhisattva who rescues the suffering! You saved my daughter and now helped me. I don’t know how to thank you. Please accept my kowtow!”
“Please, elderly sir, don’t do this…”
Shui Miao hurriedly helped the old man up. His mind stirred—he was ready to absorb the negative energy.
Instantly, Shui Miao activated his technique, drawing a very foul energy from the old man. As soon as this energy entered his body, Shui Miao felt nauseous, dizzy, and as if he wanted to vomit. However, the spiritual power and gratitude from the old man’s family quickly suppressed this feeling. At this moment, Sun Sihan and her mother also wanted to kneel, but Shui Miao, Xiao Tudou, and Li Lan quickly helped them up. Shui Miao’s mind shifted again, absorbing the negative energy from the old woman and Sun Sihan. These two streams of negative energy entered his body, causing him another wave of dizziness and nausea. His internal immortal energy rapidly circulated, attempting to expel the negative energy.
Within about ten seconds, the abnormality within Shui Miao’s body was expelled by his immortal energy.
Upon internal observation, Shui Miao discovered a previously unknown murky energy within his dantian.
His immortal energy had barely diminished.
Success!
Shui Miao felt excited. Looking at the elderly couple, they had already stabilized their emotions. The old man who had just wanted to beat his son showed no sign of doing so anymore. Shui Miao was puzzled but quickly understood—the old man must have spoiled his son too much, leading to his son’s current state.
“Ai! Spoiling sons leads to disobedience!” Shui Miao couldn’t help but sigh, thinking of Sister Chenxiang’s plight. These people favored their sons, neglecting their daughters, ultimately hurting their daughters’ hearts and spoiling their sons into scoundrels. Then, Shui Miao turned to Sun Sihan and said, “Your legs are already healed, but your parents favor their precious son. I’ll give you an advance salary now. Give it to them as a sign of filial piety, and then you don’t need to stay anymore. You can go to work with Li Lan and the others.”
Shui Miao was direct, speaking this in front of the elderly couple.
He even took out twenty thousand yuan from his backpack and handed it to Sun Sihan.
“Take it, Sihan. Go to work and do your best.”
“Uh…”
Just as he finished speaking, Shui Miao suddenly caught sight of Sun Sihan’s bare legs. His mind went blank for a moment before he quickly regained his composure and improvised, “Anyway, there’s no major issue now. I should go out and help Little Potato…”
With that, Shui Miao turned and strode out of the room.
Originally, Shui Miao had intended to take advantage of the Sun family’s gratitude to absorb the negative energy and cultivate his Spirit Devouring Art. But given the current situation, he had no choice but to step outside.
“It’s them! They know dark magic!”
A woman pointed at Shui Miao and Little Potato, hiding fearfully behind a burly man holding a butcher knife. They were Sun Sihan’s elder brother and sister-in-law.
Initially, the agitated crowd had been worked up and ready to fight, but at the woman’s cry, they fell silent, cautiously eyeing Shui Miao and Little Potato.
The alley was narrow, and just a few people were enough to block it entirely.
The man with the butcher knife, Sun Sihan’s brother Sun Changfa, stood frozen in place. Little Potato had successfully cast an illusion spell on him, as Shui Miao had taught him. In Sun Changfa’s eyes, two earth-yellow giants loomed before him, and he couldn’t hear the woman’s shouts at all.
Little Potato had never tried using earth-element spiritual energy to confuse someone before. Today’s success thrilled him.
Shui Miao checked the time and scanned the crowd. These were all petty troublemakers, each emanating a turbid aura. Normal people wouldn’t bring sticks and knives to cause trouble without understanding the situation, simply because someone else provoked them. Disgusted by these people, Shui Miao had no desire to engage with them.
“Hey, what are you doing?”
Seeing her husband unresponsive, the woman shoved him hard. Sun Changfa jolted back to awareness.
“Senior Brother, I’m still too weak. This man’s malevolent energy is too intense!” Little Potato sighed softly and turned to Shui Miao.
“It’s alright, take your time,” Shui Miao reassured him just as Sun Changfa shouted to the crowd, “They’re sorcerers! Someone go fetch dog blood and feces!”
“I’ll go! I’ll go!”
A few reckless fools actually ran off to get dog blood and feces.
Turning back, Sun Changfa pointed his butcher knife at Shui Miao and Little Potato. “You brats, how dare you cause trouble at my house and hit my woman! If I don’t chop you up today, I won’t be called Sun!”
“Chop them! Chop them!”
Some in the crowd even egged him on.
“Beast! You beast!”
At that moment, Sun Sihan and her mother supported her father as they stepped outside. The old man seemed much more energetic now. Pointing at Sun Changfa, he yelled, “Beast, why aren’t you kneeling and apologizing to the great immortal? He healed your sister and removed the steel plate from her calf with his bare hands! How dare you disrespect him? I’ll beat you to death, you wretched son!”
The old man raised his cane to strike his son.
It would be better if he beat him to death! Seeing this, Shui Miao quickly stepped forward and held the old man’s hand, secretly channeling a stream of immortal energy into him. The old man immediately felt invigorated. “A disobedient son is the father’s fault. Old man, only you can teach this son a lesson.”
Shui Miao wanted the old man to give his son a good thrashing.
Unexpectedly, the old man felt a warm energy enter his body through his hand, boosting his spirits. Instead of hitting his son, he tried to kneel before Shui Miao. “Great immortal! You are truly a savior! You saved my daughter and now you’ve helped me. I don’t know how to thank you. Please accept my bow!”
“Old man, please don’t do this…”
Shui Miao hurriedly helped him up. His heart stirred—this was the moment to absorb the Spirit Devouring energy!
Immediately, Shui Miao focused his intent and drew a foul energy from the old man’s body. As it entered him, Shui Miao felt nauseous, dizzy, and overwhelmed with disgust. However, the spiritual power and gratitude from the Sun family’s heartfelt thanks quickly suppressed the sickening feeling. Just then, Sun Sihan and her mother also tried to kneel. Shui Miao, Little Potato, Li Lan, and the others quickly helped them up. Shui Miao focused again, drawing negative energy from the grandmother and Sun Sihan. As these two streams of energy entered his body, Shui Miao felt another wave of dizziness and nausea. His immortal energy surged, ready to expel the foul energy.
In just over ten seconds, the abnormal sensations were purged by his immortal energy.
Through inner vision, Shui Miao discovered a previously unseen turbid energy now residing in his dantian.
His immortal energy was largely undepleted.
Success!
Elated, Shui Miao looked at the old man and his family, who had now calmed down. The old man, who had moments ago been ready to beat his son, showed no further intention to do so. Puzzled at first, Shui Miao quickly understood—the old man had spoiled his son rotten, turning him into the brute he was today.
“Alas! Indulging a son creates a rebel!” Shui Miao couldn’t help but sigh, thinking of Sister Chenxiang’s plight. These people favored their sons over their daughters, hurting their daughters’ hearts and spoiling their sons into scoundrels. After a pause, Shui Miao said to Sun Sihan, “Your leg is healed now, and your parents clearly favor their precious son. I’ll advance you a month’s salary. Give it to them as a final act of filial piety. After that, you don’t need to stay. Go to work with Li Lan and the others.”
Shui Miao was blunt, saying this right in front of the elderly couple.
He also took out 20,000 yuan from his backpack and handed it to Sun Sihan.
“Sihan, take it. Once you start working, just do your best.”
“Yeah, Sihan, give this money to your parents, and you can come to work with us without worries.”
Li Lan and Wang Xiaomi urged her one after another.
Shui Miao called it an advance on her salary. After a moment’s hesitation, Sun Sihan accepted the money, tucked it into her mother’s arms, and turned to pack her belongings.
Hearing this and holding the 20,000 yuan, the elderly couple flushed with shame.
It was true—they heavily favored Sun Changfa.
Although they never complained openly, they resented having a “useless” daughter while Sun Sihan recuperated at home.
Sun Sihan left resolutely because she had had enough.
※※※
“Compensation! You hit me—you have to pay!”
The woman’s eyes gleamed at the sight of money, and she suddenly began shouting.
The ruffians behind her, also there for money, joined in demanding compensation.
Sun Changfa seemed somewhat moved, but when he saw everyone shouting for money, he joined in too.
“Here’s the dog blood!”
“And the feces!”
A few reckless individuals actually brought dog blood and feces.
It was a dead-end alley. If they really threw the feces and dog blood, Shui Miao and the others would have nowhere to hide.
“Scoundrels! Beasts! If anyone dares cause trouble, I’ll fight them to the death!”
Sun Sihan’s father finally found his conscience and swung his cane at Sun Changfa…
“Ah!”
Sun Changfa and his woman dodged in panic, afraid of being hit. They retreated into the crowd, which was packed tightly. Meanwhile, a few reckless youths lifted the dog blood and feces overhead, trying to push forward. Chaos erupted instantly…
Seeing this, Shui Miao considered summoning a gust of wind with his immortal energy to dump the feces and dog blood on the crowd themselves. But before he could act, a deafening roar echoed overhead—a helicopter appeared above the dead-end alley!
Jiang Zhihao, determined to arrive within twenty minutes, had come in his private helicopter!
The powerful downdraft from the helicopter overturned the wooden basins, splattering dog blood and feces all over the crowd!
But that wasn’t all—a large group of bodyguards in black suits and sunglasses now appeared at the alley’s entrance…
Li Lan and Wang Xiaomi urged her.
Shui Miao said it was an advance salary. Sun Sihan hesitated for a moment but accepted the money, placing it in her mother’s arms before turning back to pack her belongings.
Upon hearing these words, the elderly couple, holding the twenty thousand yuan, felt their faces redden.
Indeed, their hearts were heavily biased towards Sun Changfa.
Although they didn’t complain verbally about Sun Sihan staying home to recover, they still harbored resentment in their hearts, resenting having an useless daughter.
Sun Sihan left decisively because she had finally had enough.
※※※
“Compensate me! You hit me, so you must pay!”
The woman saw the money, her eyes darting around, and suddenly shouted loudly.
The hooligans behind her also came for the money, clamoring for compensation.
Sun Changfa seemed somewhat moved, but seeing everyone shouting for compensation, he even joined in.
“Dog blood is coming!”
“Dung is here!!”
A few hotheads actually brought dog blood and feces.
This was a dead-end alley. If they really poured feces and dog blood, Shui Miao and the others would have nowhere to hide.
“Damn it! Beast! Who dares to cause trouble? I’ll fight him!”
Sun Sihan’s father finally had a change of heart, raising his cane to strike Sun Changfa…
“Ahh!”
Seeing this, Sun Changfa and his wife hurriedly dodged, fearing being hit, and rushed backward. The crowd behind was tightly packed, and several hotheads raised the dog blood and feces overhead, pushing forward. The scene instantly turned chaotic…
Seeing this, Shui Miao wanted to use his immortal energy to create a gust of wind, blowing the feces and dog blood onto them. However, before he could activate his energy, a loud roar sounded, and a helicopter appeared above the alley!
Jiang Zhihao had arrived by his private helicopter to make it within twenty minutes!
The helicopter’s powerful wind blew over the wooden basin, spilling the dog blood and feces onto everyone!
It didn’t stop there. A group of bodyguards wearing sunglasses and black suits appeared at the alley’s entrance…
