Chapter 388: Chapter 286 The Light from the Righteous Path_2

As for the five hundred strong men...

There’s no need to think about it, the ultimate fate of these strong men is to sink to the bottom of the lake and become fodder for the Evil God!

Or perhaps... they’ll become those Water Ghost Pirates!

But soon, Mr. Huang managed to suppress his wildly beating heart, his Adam’s apple moving slightly.

Because as planned, not fighting directly was the best outcome!

As long as the battle didn’t begin, the strategies of the Great Witch and the others would be able to take effect.

"We... need to discuss this," said Pan Hao.

The other side replied, "Alright, you have the time it takes an incense stick to burn."

...

"Water Ghost Pirates have been temporarily appeased. Begin the act immediately!" Pan Hao commanded through the Conch Headphones.

The mood in Qingshi Town remained heavy, the clan elders’ faces ashen, their hearts filled with trepidation.

Even knowing the full plan, they had no idea how viable it really was.

Should there be any slip-up, it was their lives that would be lost!

And the militia members were even more uneasy, fearing that their superiors might sell them out.

If the fighting truly began, there weren’t many who could survive; but if they were betrayed, they would indeed be doomed.

"What’s there to discuss? What’s so negotiable about these demands!"

"Water Ghost Pirates don’t keep promises; it’s impossible to give them grain or strong men!"

"That’s right, it’s impossible."

"With Divine Power from the Great Mother added by the Great Witch... what have we to fear?" The voices of the militia began to rise.

Pan Hao swallowed, the divine power was fake—a mere gust of cold air—any real battle would immediately expose it.

And so they remained in a standoff, sweat permeating their garments without them realizing.

Suddenly, a light and merry song came from nearby; two beautiful girls gathering mushrooms, carrying baskets and humming tunes, played along the city walls, their laughter tinkling like silver bells.

One girl with pointed ears, pure and cute, with clear eyebrows and bright eyes; the other, exuding an exotic charm from the Outer Domain, was plump and graceful, full of allure.

"Oh my, Great Witch, what is... what’s going on? So many people." Feng Ling pretended to be unaware of the situation, her cheeks slightly flushed, as she took a step back.

"Get back right now!" Pan Hao roared, "Is this the place for you to be at! Those are bandits over there!"

"We’re just picking mushrooms on the wall; don’t be harsh on me, Great Witch!" Feng Ling seemed to be genuinely startled, speaking timidly, her eyes welling up, looking like a willow in the rain, "Well then... then, Great Witch, I’ll head back to town."

Feng Ling had once stolen power from a Demon God, her acting as convincing as that of a naive young girl.

It left old Pan questioning his life choices.

But thinking it over, it made sense.

She was an A-ranked combatant of the Abnormal Foundation, with Spiritual Vision and Delusion Healing abilities; aside from old Lu, perhaps no one here could best her.

...

And the militia around, facing the two mushroom-picking girls, were bewildered. Where did these two women come from?

Huang Youcai, atop the city wall, although privy to the plan, was taken aback by their beauty.

He had seen these two women before, when they came fleeing here, dirtied and undesirable.

How had they suddenly become beautiful?

"Could it be my old eyes are blurred? These two girls are ten times more beautiful than that newlywed concubine."

...

It was quite apparent that the bandits also brightened up at the sight of the women, discussing amongst themselves.

True beauties were hard to find in such a remote and impoverished place. The peasants, weather-beaten and alternately hungry and full, had coarse skin, lacking any sense of beauty.

But now, two had suddenly appeared, naive and unworldly, their skin smooth and pure white, obviously young ladies raised in wealth by a prominent family.

The lead bandit, Niu Sanda, looked more delighted with each glance, wishing he could kidnap the pair and ride them like horses night after night.

They had come to take people, so what was wrong with grabbing a couple more girls?

Standing on Niu Sanda’s right was the Second Master of the Water Ghost Pirates, the brains of the team, with some premonition abilities.

He had been injured in his youth, and because of that, he loathed women the most.

Sensing his leader’s rising lust, he suddenly said, "Big Brother, it’s clear that Qingshi Town knew we were coming and has made substantial preparations. Otherwise, they couldn’t have gathered so many militia members in such a short time."

"These two women appearing so suddenly, could it be they aim to seduce us?"

"What kind of seduction is that? Could they cast a spell on me from a hundred paces to take my life?" the leader Niu Sanda replied in a deep voice.

The Second Master repackaged his statement: "It’s possible that the court’s army is on its way here."

"Delay breeds change, I suggest we attack immediately and pillage this town."

"Oh, do you have some bad premonitions?"

"So it seems, but I’m not sure what exactly they are."

On Niu Sanda’s left stood a man with an eyepatch, the Water Ghost Pirates’ Third Master.

This guy was incredibly lecherous and clearly at odds with the Second Master.

He eyed Jenny’s ample behind for a long time, licking his lips with excitement. Where did this woman come from, exuding a hundred times more charm than the city’s Oiran?

The One-Eyed Pirate said, "Since you don’t know what your premonition is about, wouldn’t a rash attack fall right into their trap? There might be an ambush awaiting us in the city. These two women are probably trying to lure you in!"

"It’s said that the Great Mother has once again manifested her divine power. Even if we’ve barely developed it, we’re not so desperate as to risk our lives against it."
