Chapter 291: Chapter 206: Old Demon Duan’s Petty Mind, Doesn’t Even Spare Ghosts (5K Subscriptions Requested)_3

For dinner, they ended up eating fish.

It was said that during his absence, Feng Ling’er and Shen Ying had become fishing enthusiasts, often going to the lake to fish.

Their catch was quite plentiful each time.

However, according to Murong brothers in private, these two fishermen usually lured the fish with bait, then Xiatou Ying would punch the fish to the shore to complete the fishing task.

I must say, this way of fishing is quite efficient, as evidenced by the dishes on the table, such as steamed fish with fermented black beans, braised grass carp, fruitwood grilled fish, crucian carp tofu soup, and even a dish of West Lake Vinegar Fish made by the Murong brothers.

West Lake Vinegar Fish is a famous dish from Yangzhou, which the Murong brothers took a fancy to while traveling there and thus diligently learned this specialty.

Sadly, this signature dish was only symbolically tasted by everyone with a few chopsticks before being left aside.

Murong brothers couldn’t help but comment, "The fish isn’t from West Lake, and the vinegar isn’t good either, it’s not up to standard."

Shen Ying nodded, "Right, if Murong Chef were by West Lake, he would definitely do better."

Upon hearing this, Murong brothers were somewhat embarrassed.

It’s not that he hadn’t cooked by West Lake before, but the taste was still indescribable.

Or rather, the dish of West Lake Vinegar Fish itself is indescribable, harder to make delicious than practicing the Twelve Layers of Spring Rain.

Murong brothers’ West Lake Vinegar Fish might not taste great, but that didn’t stop the other fish dishes from being delicious.

Especially when set against his West Lake Vinegar Fish, the other fish even seemed tastier.

For a time, everyone was dining with great enjoyment.

In this manner, as they ate, the group really felt like they were celebrating the New Year at home.

Everyone here was either drifting through the Martial World or had a home they either couldn’t return to or didn’t want to return to.

The outside world was full of killings and filled with conspiracies and tricks, while here it seemed much simpler, giving a sense of warmth.

If outsiders saw this scene, they would find it unbelievable.

After all, just hearing the names Old Demon Duan, Green Blade Demon, White-haired Witch, Flower Fanatic Red Beauty, Nine Death Female Fist, would make one’s sleep and appetite suffer, let alone dining together.

But at this moment, they were eating together very peacefully.

Because they were friends, friends who understood each other.

Duan Yun liked it here for this reason.

He felt that even if the whole world misunderstood him, the people here would get him, believe in him.

At this time, Leng Yimeng and Leng Yixue couldn’t help but bring up matter of intelligence to Duan Yun.

According to them, they had been keeping an eye out for the fallen ones for Duan Yun, trying to find the source of the fallen, and during this time, they had discovered traces of Divine Doctor Xue from the Jiangzhong Sect.

When they inquired further, they learned that Doctor Xue had suddenly taken an interest in a female infant.

"A female infant?"

Everyone said, puzzled.

"It is said that the female infant was able to stand on her head from birth, and before she was even one year old, she was able to kill people, having slain several Jianghu people, and we found out that this infant is related to another branch of the Jade Girl Sword Sect you’re investigating."

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn’t help feeling a chilling sensation.

An infant who could stand on her head from birth and kill people before the age of one – was that a human or a monster?

Feng Ling’er couldn’t help asking, "How did those Jianghu people die?"

Yes, how strong could an infant be, how did she kill people, especially those of the Martial World.

Leng Yixue replied, "One died from a Sword Qi piercing the heart, one was slapped to death with a broken throat, and another was hanged from a tree."

"Was it that female infant who did it?" asked Shen Ying.

Leng Yixue said, "Eyewitnesses said so. We didn’t believe it at first, but the injuries on the deceased, especially the one with the broken throat from the slap, were indeed only the size of an infant’s palm."

Everyone who heard it found it both ridiculous and terrifying.

"Divine Doctor Xue was also very interested in this and wanted to see the infant himself, but then he disappeared in White Bridge Town."

"Disappeared?"

"Yes, disappeared. We suspect it’s related to that female infant, as well as the Jade Girl Sword Sect. After that, we stopped pursuing further," said Leng Yixue.

Everyone knew that Divine Doctor Xue was tight-lipped, with a mouth as big as a basin, but his Martial Arts were also as vast as a basin.

If even he had fallen into this trap, then the matter was troublesome.

"If you want to investigate, you can go to White Bridge Town. There should be a secret base of the Jade Girl Sword Sect nearby," Leng Yimeng said.

Duan Yun quickly expressed his gratitude, "Thanks a lot to both Duan Yun for your help."

Leng Yimeng hurriedly said, "We’re just helping you out of Jianghu righteousness, don’t think too much of it."

Duan Yun said with a pained face, "I really won’t overthink it."

"Also, be careful lately. According to the Qingqi Bureau’s intelligence reports, it seems that the Dragon Essence obtained by Yuxu Palace was snatched by the Beauty Ghost of Ghost Mother’s entourage. The Beauty Ghost has refined the Dragon Essence and has made her already terrifying skirt into the Human Species Bag, you see one and she sucks them in.

Recently, the Beauty Ghost has been bragging, saying she has a grudge against you and a woman who practices boxing and is coming to deal with you two...adulterers."

"You guys be careful!"

As soon as these words were uttered, everyone’s gaze fell on Duan Yun and Shen Ying.

Feng Ling’er burst out angrily, "What is this Beauty Ghost, blind? Even if they were adulterers, it’s not her turn as the boxer!"

Shen Ying, on the other hand, seemed happy and mocked, "Oh my, some sword-users always seem more superfluous."

Then, Duan Yun stood up and asked, "Where is this Beauty Ghost?"

Leng Yixue blinked, puzzled, "What are you going to do?"

"Of course, I’m going to sort her out. Otherwise, let her live till New Year? People who don’t know would think I, Old Demon Duan, pfft, think that Young Hero Duan is easy to bully."

"Right, she’s one of Ghost Mother’s, right? Where’s the Ghost Mother? Let’s deal with her too!"

Seeing how eager he was, everyone remembered that although the storyteller’s tales were creatively embellished, some of it did reflect the truth.

Like how Old Demon Duan was petty-minded, liked to proactively kill entire families.

And here we go, not even "ghosts" were spared.
