“Uh…”
As soon as he finished speaking, Shui Miao suddenly caught sight of Sun Sihan’s bare legs, his mind jolted, instantly realizing his mistake. Thinking quickly, he hastily added, “Well, there’s no major issue anymore. I’ll go out and help Xiao Tudou…”
With those words, Shui Miao turned around and strode out.
Originally, Shui Miao had intended to absorb the negative energy from Sun Sihan’s family’s gratitude to cultivate his Spirit-Devouring Great Art.
Under these circumstances, 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—a man who turned out to be Sun Sihan’s older brother.
At first, the group was worked up, each seemingly eager to beat someone up, but upon hearing the woman’s scream, they immediately quieted down, cautiously glancing toward Shui Miao…
The alley wasn’t large; three or five people filled it completely.
The man with the butcher’s knife was none other than Sun Sihan’s older brother, Sun Changfa, who stood there dazed, as Xiao Tudou had cast a hypnotic spell on him per Shui Miao’s instructions. At this moment, in Sun Changfa’s eyes, two earth-yellow giants stood before him, and he couldn’t even hear the woman’s shouting.
Xiao Tudou had never tried using earth-elemental energy to confuse someone before. Today, his first attempt was successful, and he was thrilled.
Shui Miao glanced at the time and then at the crowd. These people were ordinary townsfolk, each exuding a murky aura. A normal person wouldn’t be provoked into causing trouble with sticks and knives without knowing the situation. Shui Miao felt disgust toward them and had no desire to deal with them.
“Hey, what are you doing?”
Seeing her man unmoving, the woman pushed him hard a few times. Sun Changfa felt a jolt in his mind and regained some clarity.
“Master, I’m still too weak. This person’s violent aura is too strong!” Xiao Tudou sighed softly and turned to look at Shui Miao.
“It’s okay, take it slow.” Shui Miao comforted Xiao Tudou, and then heard Sun Changfa shouting to the people behind him, “They’re sorcerers! Who can bring some dog blood and feces!”
“I’ll go! I’ll go…”
Truly, there were fearless hotheads; three or five men actually ran off to fetch dog blood and feces.
Turning back, Sun Changfa brandished his butcher’s knife at Shui Miao and Xiao Tudou, shouting, “You two brats dare to come to my house and cause trouble! You even beat my woman! I swear I won’t stop until I kill you both!”
“Kill them! Kill them!!”
Among the crowd, there were actually people cheering.
“Beast! You’re a beast!!”
At this moment, Sun Sihan and her mother supported her father as they stepped forward. The old man’s spirit was clearly much better. Pointing at Sun Changfa, he shouted, “Beast! Kneel down and apologize to the immortal! The immortal healed your sister and even pulled the steel plate out of her leg with his 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! Let him beat him to death! Seeing this, Shui Miao quickly stepped forward, grasping the old man’s hand and secretly channeling a flow of immortal energy into him, instantly invigorating him. Shui Miao said, “A son’s disobedience reflects on his father. Elderly sir, only you can discipline this son.”
Shui Miao wanted the old man to give his son a severe beating.
However, the old man suddenly felt a warm current entering his body from the hand contact, which greatly revived him. Instead of striking his son, he dropped to his knees before Shui Miao: “Oh immortal! You truly are a living Bodhisattva who rescues people from suffering! You saved my daughter and now you’ve helped me too. I don’t know how to thank you enough. Please allow me to kowtow to you!”
“Please, elderly sir, don’t do this…”
Shui Miao hurriedly helped the old man up, his mind stirring. It was time to absorb the mixed, corrupted spirit energy!
Instantly, Shui Miao focused his mind and drew a very unpleasant energy from the old man’s body. As soon as this energy entered him, Shui Miao felt nauseous, dizzy, and as if he wanted to vomit. However, the spiritual power and gratitude generated by the old man’s family’s reverence quickly suppressed this feeling of nausea. At this time, Sun Sihan and her mother also wanted to kneel, but Shui Miao, Xiao Tudou, and Li Lan quickly helped them up. As his thoughts turned, Shui Miao absorbed the negative energy from the old woman and Sun Sihan as well. These two streams of negative energy entering his body caused him to feel dizzy and nauseous again, and his immortal energy quickly circulated to expel the negative energy from his body.
Within about ten seconds, the strange sensations in Shui Miao’s body were expelled by his immortal energy.
Upon internal observation, Shui Miao discovered that a murky energy had settled in his dantian.
His immortal energy had not been significantly consumed.
Success!
Excited, Shui Miao looked at the old man’s family and saw that they had stabilized their emotions. The old man who had just been ready to strike his son showed no sign of doing so anymore. Shui Miao was puzzled but soon figured it out—this old man must have spoiled his son too much, which was why his beloved son had turned out this way.
Sighing, Shui Miao couldn’t help but think of Sister Chenxiang’s plight. These people favored sons over daughters, indulging their sons, which only ended up hurting their daughters’ hearts and spoiling their sons into becoming scoundrels.
He then said to Sun Sihan, “Your legs are healed now, but your parents are clearly biased toward their beloved son. I’ll give you an advance salary first—give it to them as a sign of filial piety, and then you don’t need to stay here anymore. You can go to work with Li Lan and the others.”
Shui Miao was direct, speaking these words in front of the elderly couple.
He even took two hundred thousand yuan from his backpack and handed it to Sun Sihan.
“Take it, Sihan. Go to work and do well.”
“Yeah, Sihan, give this money to your parents, and you can rest assured and come work with us.”
Li Lan and Wang Xiao Mi urged her.
Shui Miao said it was an advance salary, and after a moment’s hesitation, Sun Sihan accepted the money, placed it in her mother’s arms, and turned to go pack her things.
Hearing these words, the elderly couple, holding the two hundred thousand yuan, turned red-faced.
Indeed, their hearts were heavily biased toward Sun Changfa.
Although they hadn’t complained openly while Sun Sihan was at home recovering, they had secretly resented her, feeling they had given birth to a useless daughter.
Sun Sihan left decisively because she had finally had enough.
※※※
“Compensate me! You hit me, so you must pay compensation!”
The woman saw the money, her eyes darting around for a moment, then suddenly shouted loudly.
The rabble behind her had come for the money too, all clamoring for compensation.
Sun Changfa seemed somewhat moved, but seeing everyone shouting for compensation, he surprisingly joined in.
“The dog blood is here!”
“The feces are here too!!”
A few hotheads had indeed brought dog blood and feces.
This was a dead-end alley. If they really threw 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 to the death!”
Sun Sihan’s father finally had a moment of conscience, raising his cane and charging at Sun Changfa…
“Ahhh!”
Seeing this, Sun Changfa and his wife quickly dodged, fearing being hit, and ran backward. The crowd behind was tightly packed, and several hotheads raised the dog blood and feces overhead, pushing forward. The scene instantly became chaotic…
Seeing this, Shui Miao wanted to channel his immortal energy to create a gust of wind, blowing the feces and dog blood back onto their own heads. However, before he could channel his energy, a loud roaring sound suddenly erupted, and a helicopter appeared above the dead-end alley!
Jiang Zhihao had arrived in his private helicopter to make the twenty-minute deadline!
The powerful wind from the helicopter overturned the wooden basins, splashing dog blood and feces all over the crowd!
But it didn’t stop there. A large group of bodyguards wearing sunglasses and black suits now appeared at the entrance of the alley…
