Chapter 1067: Chapter 1071: Chopping You Down in Place of Heaven Chapter 1067: Chapter 1071: Chopping You Down in Place of Heaven “Miss, have you encountered any distressing matters recently? I have studied some physiognomy and see that your brow is darkened, your eyes lack luster. I suspect that…” Zhu Minglang said.

Upon hearing these words, Zhou Qian stood up as if the grievances pent up in her heart could finally be voiced. She came forward, excitedly speaking, “You’re truly an expert. I have indeed run into trouble, and I’ve told many people and even reported it to the authorities, but no one believes me!”

“Take your time, take your time, don’t worry, we’re here to help you solve the problem.” Seeing her emotionally unstable, Zhu Minglang comforted her and invited her to sit down to talk.

“That day at noon, just like usual, I was making candy here when a young man poked his head in, a handsome peddler. Actually, I was feeling quite troubled at the time, so I chatted with him for a long while. He kept trying to sell me various strange things, but I wasn’t interested in anything–he was just there to talk to me. Gradually, he became impatient, so I felt compelled to buy something from him. He boasted that he had all sorts of things for sale and that they were absolutely effective. So I joked, asking if he had an immortal pill that could instantly turn me into a beauty, and he said he did…” As Zhou Qian spoke, she began wiping away her tears.

Zhu Minglang looked at Zhou Qian again.

It seemed that if one didn’t consider her age, her features were indeed quite delicate.

“I really did become beautiful. I changed overnight… but, before I even had a few days to enjoy it, I started to age, and the aging accelerated rapidly… Growing old means getting ugly; I’m not beautiful at all anymore!” Zhou Qian said angrily.

Overnight, she had turned beautiful but was also aging day by day.

It was probably the aged and withered visage that Zhou Qian found most unbearable.

“Did he ask for anything in return?” Zhu Minglang inquired.

“At first I thought he was quite interesting, jesting that he wanted sixty years of my life. So I bargained with him and settled for thirty years of my life in exchange for blooming beauty… I thought it was all a joke. I thought he was someone who enjoyed theater. But the next day when I looked in the mirror, I really did look better. At first, I was very happy, but soon after, wrinkles began to appear,” Zhou Qian explained.

“Thirty years, are you sure he took thirty years of your life?” Zhu Minglang repeated the question.

“Yes… yes,” Zhou Qian confirmed with a nod.

“Can you describe what he looks like, in as much detail as possible?” Zhu Minglang asked.

“Could you draw his appearance for us? It would make it easier for us to issue a warrant for his arrest,” Guang Ce, who was nearby, added.

“Why should I draw him?” Zhou Qian asked, confused. She looked at the two men who resembled government officers but not quite and continued, “Since I’ve filed a report, shouldn’t you just go directly to his house and arrest him?”

“But we need to know what he looks like so that we can… Miss, are you suggesting that you know where he lives??” Guang Ce said.

“Yes, I sell candy figurines at the street corner every day, I’ve seen this little peddler a few times before… I also asked around about him, so I know where his house is,” Zhou Qian said.

Zhu Minglang and Guang Ce exchanged glances!

This young lady actually knew where Hong Yi lived!

“I originally thought he was a sincere and diligent young peddler. That time he entered my yard, I thought we had a certain fate…” Zhou Qian continued.

It’s often said, you can’t frequently walk beside the river without getting your shoes wet!

This little evil immortal probably never imagined that his target to take years of life from would be a girl who had a bit of a crush on him!

“Please tell us where he lives. If we manage to bring him to justice, we should be able to reclaim the years of life you’ve lost,” Zhu Minglang stated.

“Such a harmful spirit, you definitely must not show him any mercy!” Zhou Qian urged.

…

Following Zhou Qian’s directions, Zhu Minglang proceeded to Hong Yi’s residence.

He lived near the Sugar Town, in the adjacent Green City. The entire city was verdant and beautiful, with most of the houses built of green wood, extremely quaint and elegant, brimming with grace.

Zhu Minglang entered Green City, discovering that it was Qinglin Sword Sect’s territory.

Qinglin Sword Sect is one of the subsidiary forces of Yuheng Star Palace in the mortal realm, specifically selecting women with exceptional talent for Yuheng Star Palace…

In essence, Qinglin Sword Sect is an academy of Yuheng Star Palace. Not only is there a Qinglin Sword Sect within Yuheng Fairy City, but all territories within Yuheng’s divine realm also have Qinglin Sword Sect branches. It is a very important part of Yuheng Star Palace.

Following the address, Zhu Minglang found a waterside dwelling in Green City. Compared to the other turquoise wooden buildings and courtyards of the city, this residence seemed much humbler, with just a kitchen, a room, and a warehouse–nothing more.

“I’ll go by myself; you wait outside,” Zhu Minglang said to Guang Ce.

Guang Ce, after all, was a mortal. Zhu Minglang did not want him to get involved in a battle between immortals. With Hong Yi’s mana, there were hundreds of ways to kill an official like Guang Ce.

Guang Ce nodded, not insisting and instead waiting for the outcome in a nearby teahouse.

Zhu Minglang walked alone towards the waterside house. There were clearly people inside, and Zhu Minglang heard noises.

He raised his hand and knocked on the door.

The person inside came out, pulling open the wooden door with both hands. When he saw Zhu Minglang standing before him with a smile on his face, the handsome peddler’s expression immediately changed; his eyes darting around, like those of a crafty yellow weasel.

“Hehe, well met,” the Immortal Peddler Hong Yi forced a smile and greeted Zhu Minglang.

“Not bad yourself, living in anonymity in the world–in a place with such a strong mortal aura, you’ve set up a home,” Zhu Minglang remarked.

The Immortal Peddler Hong Yi glanced at Zhu Minglang’s face and saw that it bore few signs of aging.

Nearly a month had passed.

Even for True Gods with lifespans of two hundred years, aging would have occurred instantaneously.

The person before him, showing little change, clearly had a lifespan far exceeding that of ordinary immortals!

Hong Yi realized at this moment that the divine being he had encountered was not an ordinary True God; his divine rank was quite high.

“We traded willingly, let’s not forget that. Your Dragon Repair improved a great deal,” Hong Yi pointed out.

“I never said I was dissatisfied. I’m just passing by and thought I’d take a look, what are you so nervous about? Or do you feel that the deal wasn’t quite proper?” Zhu Minglang smiled.

This was not a dream; Hong Yi could no longer paralyze Zhu Minglang as he could before.

And while Zhu Minglang was smiling now, he applied a considerable amount of pressure on the immortal peddler.

“What do you want to do?” Hong Yi questioned.

“Nothing much, just here on behalf of Old Heavenly Father to chop you up,” Zhu Minglang replied.
