Chapter 776: Chapter 343: Three Strikes to Subdue the Fish Woman

The young girl’s heart skipped a beat as she looked at the handsome man, feeling a surge of fear rising within her.

Among the diners, some scholars who had originally wanted to appeal to justice swallowed their well-prepared speeches back down.

If the other party had been a peerless hero, they might have dared to reason with him, using logic to press their point.

But since the other party liked killing people, sorry, they preferred to indulge him.

"Shopkeeper, bring me a chicken." After killing someone, Qi Yuan was feeling hungry and ordered some chicken.

The previously dazed shopkeeper quickly responded, "My lord, please wait a moment, it will be served shortly!"

Qi Yuan casually found a seat and sat down with Huo Mushi.

"This place is right under a draught; it’s a good spot. If anyone says bad things about me, the wind will surely carry their words to my ears," Qi Yuan mumbled to himself.

Witnessing this, the diners on-site all wore awkward smiles.

The wealthy merchant had just died; his blood was still warm. Who would dare speak ill of him?

However, as Qi Yuan had shown his murderous side just now, the diners present were temporarily too intimidated to approach the legendary Red Stick Demon Slaughter or to wait for someone brave enough to do so.

Just then, the sound of hurried footsteps came, and the girl in the prime of her youth descended from the upstairs. Dressed in a green palace robe, she appeared exceedingly lovely and charming.

"I, Lv Zhu County Lord, greet the esteemed Red Stick Demon Slaughter!"

The girl approached Qi Yuan’s seat and curtsied gracefully.

The diners on-site stirred slightly.

This person turned out to be a princess!

Lv Zhu County Lord was the daughter of Minor Empress Zhou, who was considered the most beautiful woman in the entire Fengyuan Nation.

Those diners who had previously conspired against Minor Empress Zhou and the Red Stick Demon Slaughter trembled in fear.

Qi Yuan glanced indifferently at the girl and asked, "What do you want from me?"

"My lord has traversed three thousand miles in the Northland, annihilated eleven demon dens, and saved countless lives from fire and water. On behalf of everyone, Lv Zhu wishes to thank my lord for his righteousness!"

The young girl curtsied, resembling a little adult in her manner.

"Oh, anything else?" Qi Yuan asked, picking up a peanut with his chopsticks and popping it into his mouth.

Gazing at Qi Yuan, Lv Zhu County Lord’s beautiful eyes flashed with determination, "I am willing to offer ten thousand taels of gold as a tribute to become your disciple, my lord!"

"Can ten thousand taels of gold buy this world?" Qi Yuan asked casually.

He was short on cash and eager to purchase Vault Star.

At his words, everyone present changed their expressions.

The implication of his words...

Could it be that the Red Stick Demon Slaughter was preparing to change the dynasty?

"Certainly not!" Lv Zhu County Lord also perceived the hidden meaning in Qi Yuan’s words and responded while biting her lip.

This time, her visit to the Red Stick Demon Slaughter was on a royal mission from the Royal Family.

Her father, the emperor, dared not meet with the Red Stick Demon Slaughter, so she came in his stead.

"Since it cannot, I do not want the gold," Qi Yuan declined.

While ten thousand taels of gold was a substantial amount, it would have to be crammed into his blood martial space.

His blood martial space was small and could not accommodate so much gold.

As for things like silver or gold notes, would they be of any use once he left this world?

Clearly, they would not.

Upon hearing Qi Yuan’s refusal, Lv Zhu County Lord’s complexion turned pale, but she lowered her head and continued, "I am willing to serve as a slave or maid by my lord’s side, wishing only to be taken as a disciple so that I may learn martial skills to protect Fengyuan!"

She had already prepared to sacrifice herself.

Among all the princesses and county lords, she had the best appearance and the most precious status.

"Your words are familiar, just like what my junior sister said when she first joined the sect," Qi Yuan recalled the scene when Jiang Lingsu was newly admitted. "However, once she joined the sect, she transformed into a wealthy lady. Although she provided me with a lot of help, she never actually served as a slave or maid."

A multitude of thoughts flashed through Lv Zhu County Lord’s mind.

Then she heard Qi Yuan speak again.

"In half a day, I will be leaving this place, and of course, I do not intend to take any disciples.

However, I am about to go and flatten the Demon of Xi River.

If you watch carefully and can learn something, that will be your own skill."

Upon thinking of his junior sister, Jiang Lingsu, Qi Yuan became a bit more generous.

The news left Lv Zhu County Lord astonished and then overjoyed.

Her astonishment was due to the Red Stick Demon Slaughter’s imminent departure; where was he going?

Her joy was from the possibility that he was accepting her as a disciple?

Just at that moment, a loud and continuous music performance began, sounding from outside.

A wondrous voice, as if it was the sound of angels, reached them from outside.

"The Xi River Mermaid offers an alliance of twenty thousand warriors from the Aquatic Clan as a betrothal gift, inviting His Excellency the Red Stick Demon Slaughter to preside over the Xi River Water Palace.

The soldiers of Xi River shall be at His Excellency’s disposal.

If His Excellency wishes to vie for supremacy, the soldiers of Xi River are ready to flatten the Southland!"

As this voice echoed, the faces of the diners present all shifted.

Lv Zhu County Lord’s heart jolted with shock.

"It’s the Xi River Mermaid!"

"The Sovereign of Xi River!"

"One of the most powerful forces of the Demon Clan openly submits to the Red Stick Demon Slaughter!"

"If the soldiers of the Demon Clan were all to serve the Red Stick Demon Slaughter, wouldn’t he easily take over Fengyuan Nation!?"

The diners were shaken, filled with worry and indignation.

If they were in Red Stick Demon Slaughter’s position, they were certain they could not refuse the Xi River Sovereign’s temptation.

Lv Zhu County Lord also looked troubled, yet she was unusually silent, speaking not a word.

At this moment, Qi Yuan’s eyes revealed a smile, "This is the first time I see such a forthcoming ’First Love’."

Every supposed ’First Love’ he had met before had nothing but curses for him.

Even Princess Jasmine only intended to ensnare him with a beauty trap, harboring ill intentions.

And while the Xi River Mermaid said these words, Qi Yuan’s nose didn’t grow longer, indicating that her words were sincere, not lies.
