Chapter 82: Chapter 82 I’m Not a Bully (Please Subscribe)

The once lively Yushi Town, due to the appearance of Old Demon Duan, shocked many people and scared many as well.

Among those who reacted the fastest was not Jin Ladu, the Fourth Elder of the Thunder God and Mother Sect, nor was it Hong Ying, the elder of the Red House who had a feud of murder with Old Demon Duan, but a "bird."

A bird claimed to be the most beautiful in the world.

The Peacock took flight, like a Peacock spreading its feathers, incredibly beautiful.

His movement technique was very fast, unusually so, leaving a trail of afterimages in the dim night.

He spread his arms, flying out of the town, in the night he resembled a bird demon covered in feathers.

Yet, he did not catch up to Old Demon Duan.

Peacock stood by the lake, looking at the dark and deep water, muttering, "Old Demon Duan, are you afraid?"

Inside the carriage, Hua Wen and Hua Wu, having heard the commotion, were tightly embracing each other.

The name of Old Demon Duan was like a magical spell, especially knowing he was nearby, it filled the sisters with profound fear.

Now, they could only hope that Old Demon Duan and Peacock would both be injured, ideally perishing together.

Only then, would the pitiful and miserable sisters have a slim chance of survival.

...

The lake was emerald green, with a bone-chilling coldness.

Duan Yun swam in the lake, not much slower than a fish.

Apart from the last time he had entered the water carrying the box with Shen Ying, this was his first night swim in this lake.

Tonight there was no moon, just a few stars, and Duan Yun, submerged in the water, could see the starlight through the surface.

He felt like a fish, swimming freely in the water.

The lake at night seemed bottomless, sinking further would leave one in total darkness.

Duan Yun tried diving deeper, only to find that the lake was too deep to reach the bottom momentarily.

As he dove deeper, Young Hero Duan instinctively felt a little scared, as if he was isolated from the world, heading towards an unknown Netherworld.

In the pitch-dark waters where one could barely see their hand, currents flowed occasionally, as if man-eating water ghosts were roaming around, choosing their prey.

Duan Yun recalled the rumors he heard back in the town.

There was a giant carp in the lake, its age unknown, it had devoured many children playing by the lake and fishermen.

Afterward, Duan Yun resurfaced...

Fa and Li were two Jianghu people, and also two fishermen.

Their skilled weapons included not only knives and sticks but also fishing gear.

The fish hooks hanging from their fishing rods had several times caught enemies by the neck like hidden weapons.

Thus, for them, fishing was not only pleasure but also a form of cultivation.

Meeting Old Demon Duan committing violence tonight happened because they were unlucky with their fishing, unable to catch any fish for half a day, and decided to change the location.

Honestly, even now, both were still terrified.

The scene of Old Demon Duan violently sucking the brains of those from the Thunder God and Mother Sect was horrifying.

They sat here, fearing Old Demon Duan would suddenly appear behind them, telling them after much consideration, he had decided to silence them, then grabbing their heads and start sucking.

At such times, the town where many heroes gathered was clearly safer, yet Fa and Li still insisted on fishing.

As Fa said, how can one go fishing and return empty-handed?

If they really went back empty-handed, their wives might mock them to death.

So, they continued fishing, trembling with fear.

The lake was quiet at night, with some withered leaves floating by the shore.

Logically, there should be fish here, big fish.

But they had been fishing for an hour and caught only three small fish.

Then, Li said, "Fa, we have three here. Although small, it’s not completely fruitless. Sitting here always feels creepy."

Fa had just wanted to mock him for being timid, but at that moment, there was a loud splash from the water.

Big fish!

"A ghost!"

The next moment, Fa’s fishing rod flew out of his hands.

Not until that "water ghost" climbed onto the shore did the two men realize it was actually a person with water weeds wrapped around their head.

Then, the person asked: "How much for this fish?"

"We’re not selling the fish! In the middle of the night, it’s like running into a ghost!"

Fa and Li, having been scared out of their wits by the swimmer, were in a foul mood and spoke unkindly.

The next moment, Fa’s legs went weak, nearly dropping to his knees.

Holding the fish basket, he said with a trembling voice, "It’s Young Hero Duan, this is for you."

It turned out that they only realized it was Old Demon Duan who had been absorbing people just now when he removed the water weeds from his head.

Could it really be that he was coming for them?

Seeing their reaction, Duan Yun said, "How can that be right? You must pay for things you buy, I’m not a bully."

Fa was the quickest to respond, saying, "Young Hero is right, but the fish really isn’t big, just give whatever you think it’s worth."

Duan Yun paid a piece of silver and walked away with the fish basket.

Fa and Li watched his figure disappear into the night.

Li remarked: "Bro Li, Old Demon Duan actually paid for the fish."

Fa’s temples throbbed as he said, "People like him paying for things is what makes him the most terrifying."

For a moment, Fa felt like the few pieces of silver in his hand were akin to money paid for sparing his life.

...

When Duan Yun returned to Yuzhu Villa, Shen Ying had already come back.

Seeing him soaked, she and Murong exchanged surprised glances.

"What were you doing?" Shen Ying asked puzzledly.

Holding the bamboo basket, Duan Yun said, "Suddenly felt like eating fish, so I went into the water to feel around."

Murong retorted, "Looking at you, I thought you’d dragged back another chest containing your sister. Just this, so small?"

Duan Yun, looking at the three small fish he bought, followed up, "You obviously haven’t fished at night. It’s pitch black, you can’t see your hands in front of your face. Catching these three is only because I have a one-in-ten-thousand talent for fishing, okay?"

Duan Yun’s words were half-true, half-false.

It was true that fishing at night was tough. It was pitch-black, and after feeling around for a while, all he got was a mass of aquatics, not even a single fish.

The false part was that the fish were so small, and not caught by him, but bought with silver.

At this time, Murong began to reprimand the "two siblings," saying, "You two, one only knows to watch operas all day, the other goes fishing in the lake instead of proper business at night, do you not know how chaotic it is outside?"

"Are you teaching us how to go about our business?" Duan Yun’s face darkened as he spoke.

Shen Ying added, "Exactly, how could we not know if it’s chaotic outside?"

Duan Yun nodded, "The weakest one here should mind your own business. Don’t wait until your sisters come to kill you again and have us come and deal with them for you."

"Exactly!" Shen Ying strongly agreed.

Listening to the sibling’s harmonious responses, reminiscent of husband and wife, left Murong cold and trembling, speechless for a moment.

There was no helping it, last time when they killed the eunuch, he had indeed been the weakest.

In Yuzhu Villa, being weak is the original sin.

Meanwhile, at the headquarters of the Thunder God and Mother Sect, Fourth Elder Jin Ladu, looking at the dead bodies that died together on the ground, said profoundly, "We can’t wait any longer, select two young disciples to come over, we must use that method to find that Demon."

"We must find him!"

As he spoke, the Life Flute on his head trembled uncontrollably, causing a painful ringing in people’s ears.

This signified that Jin Ladu was furious.
