Chapter 115 Slaughtering the Jin and Destroying the Mongols: The Time Is Not Right
Ugly Eagle was forced to agree to Wei Wu's relocation plan. Although it was forced, after nodding, it became extremely compliant and took the initiative to lead Wei Wu to the Sword Family, where Dugu Qiubai buried his sword, and the Sword Waterfall, where the Nine Swords of Dugu were hidden, to claim land, fearing that Wei Wu would move less later.
Li Mochou, clutching her sword, was lost in self-doubt, her fair face contorted with humiliation. "I can't even beat a bird!"
After Huang Rong had soothed her daughter, her maternal instincts kicked in, and she instinctively started coaxing Li Mochou as well. "That's no ordinary bird. It's clearly a rare species, and it's eaten so many Bodhi snake gallbladders. Compared to top-tier martial arts masters, it's just a bit strange in appearance. If it really fought, I'm afraid many top-tier masters wouldn't be its match!"
"You're still young, why compare yourself to an old hand?"
Li Mochou was greatly comforted by Huang Rong's words, and her gloomy face brightened, though her cheeks were still puffed out. She exhaled and said, "But Wei Wu—"
"Even Master Yideng was no match for him, which shows that he is exceptionally talented and far beyond the reach of ordinary people. If you want to catch up with him, you should think about how to beat that eagle instead."
Huang Rong was like someone who had "ambitions higher than the sky but fate thinner than paper." There are always fools in the world who think that since everyone has one head, two arms, and two legs, how can they be inferior to others?
The problem is that just by looking at their appearances, you can see that the difference between people is greater than the difference between people and dogs, yet some people still fantasize that they are all the same at heart.
Li Mochou felt that Huang Rong's gaze was somewhat offensive, so she unconsciously stuck out her tongue. Moving on from the topic, she gently poked Guo Fu's cheek, who had just fallen asleep. "The little girl is sleeping soundly. Are you really going to take her with you to the Jin Kingdom?"
Huang Rong could tell that Li Mochou's concern was genuine, and a hint of worry rose on her face. She sighed and said, "That's all we can do. I really can't trust anyone else. Let it be bitter, but I always feel that I owe this child a lot."
She looked at Guo Fu sleeping soundly in her arms, her face full of heartache, and tears kept flowing. If she had listened to her father earlier and stayed on Peach Blossom Island, this girl wouldn't have to suffer like this.
Li Mochou watched Huang Rong silently weep, and inexplicably thought of her junior sister in the Ancient Tomb. When they first met, she was also a tiny little girl who would cry and make a fuss. Later, she became quiet and gentle, without crying or making a fuss, like a little fairy carved from ice, without any human warmth.
Speaking of which—
I don't think I've ever seen my junior sister drink milk?
Li Mochou was lost in thought when she saw Wei Wu return with the ugly eagle. She immediately banished her thoughts and greeted him with a grin: "How much stuff do you need to move?"
"It's quite a lot. Two mountain peaks, a valley, and a waterfall—it'll cost me over 100,000."
Wei Wu was referring to fame, but to Huang Rong and Li Mochou, it meant tens of thousands of coins.
Huang Rong couldn't hide her astonishment; her purplish lips parted slightly, "So cheap?"
Li Mochou had little experience with money and wasn't interested in it. Looking around, she quietly asked, "Isn't ten thousand strings of cash a lot?"
"It's not much, it's not about the money."
Wei Wu sighed. He hadn't even made much of a profit yet, but he had already spent a lot of reputation points. Although he could save some later, what he had spent right now was his hard-earned savings.
No, the mission to march north and annihilate the Jin and Mongol tribes cannot be delayed any longer. We must now set off with all our might!
Wei Wu's gaze fell on Guo Fu in Huang Rong's arms. If it were about traveling at full speed, it would be fine for an adult, but not for an infant; the infant would definitely not be able to withstand it.
So he said, "We'll be traveling through wind and rain to reach the Jin Kingdom, and we'll be killing people along the way. It's not appropriate to have the child come with us. Why don't we send him to my home first?"
Huang Rong, still holding Guo Fu, subconsciously took a step back, then realized her step might have been hurtful, and said with difficulty, "Wouldn't that be too much trouble?"
"It's no trouble at all, just a matter of lifting a finger. Besides, my sister-in-law is bored anyway, so having her look after the kids will help relieve her worries."
Wei Wu stroked his chin. In fact, he also wanted to leave a child for his sister-in-law, but the downside of martial arts practitioners was that it was difficult to have offspring, especially since he practiced a dual cultivation technique, which meant that most of the time he was the one who conceived.
Right now there's a perfect little helper, it's just right to turn the corner.
Huang Rong was somewhat reluctant, but she knew that if she left her daughter with Wei Wu's family, her daughter's safety would be absolutely guaranteed. Even if the Meng family father and son had a few more lives, they wouldn't dare to go to Wei Wu's family to snatch her away.
After much deliberation, she could only nod, "If I am safe one day, this child—"
"You can pick it up yourself."
Wei Wu's words had a deeper meaning, but Huang Rong was unaware that the Peach Blossom Spring required Wei Wu's approval to enter, and she didn't see anything wrong with it. She could only step forward and hand the child to Wei Wu, and casually ask, "May I ask where you live, sir?"
"Shangri-La".
Huang Rong: "?"
Li Mochou: "?"
The two women only saw Wei Wu utter four words before he and the eagle vanished, along with all the man-made decorations inside the cave.
The two women were stunned for a moment, feeling their lips dry and their minds explode. Huang Rong immediately turned and leaped away, with Li Mochou following closely behind, her mind still dizzy.
When the two went outside, they found that it was still the same as when they came, but it lacked some of its "vitality". Not only the Bodhi snake, but even some ordinary birds and wild beasts were gone.
"Gurgle~"
Just as Huang Rong was in a state of confusion, she heard Li Mochou swallow hard and mutter to herself, "Could Wei Wu be a ghost? But he clearly has a shadow, and he's warm—warm, he doesn't seem like a ghost at all!"
'
Even though Huang Rong was worried about her daughter, she couldn't help but glance at Li Mochou.
Perhaps the discrimination in her gaze was too obvious, for Li Mochou actually sensed something was wrong. Her clear yet foolish peach blossom eyes stared unblinkingly at Huang Rong, and she asked guiltily, "Did I say something wrong?"
"That's right," Huang Rong said, unable to bully the fool, and gently patted her head with pity. "He's probably a bit of a ghost. Remember when he said he spent over 100,000?"
Li Mochou inexplicably felt that Huang Rong's hands were somewhat comfortable, so she didn't mind Huang Rong's rudeness and let her continue to massage them, but she still stared at Huang Rong with a questioning look in her eyes.
Huang Rong initially guessed that Wei Wu might be an immortal descended to earth, but if he really was an immortal, why would he care about such things in the mortal world?
Combined with the phrase "tens of thousands," Huang Rong began to believe the truth of Li Mochou's words that Wei Wu was a ghost.
Perhaps, Cao Cao was a soul-reaping messenger from the mortal realm, who came to the human world to amass wealth!
This also explains why Wei Wu, who had no reputation whatsoever before, was able to defeat Yi Deng and his group as soon as he entered the martial world.
Since we're all non-human now, defeating a few people doesn't seem like a big deal.
And that miraculous "poisoning technique"—it's as if they've been bewitched!
The more Huang Rong thought about it, the more convinced she became that Wei Wu couldn't possibly be human. She couldn't help but glance at Li Mochou a few more times, and sighed softly, "Perhaps you're right! He is—"
"What am I?"
Wei Wu's voice came from behind them, startling them.
Li Mochou blurted out, "A ghost!"
Wei Wu's eyes suddenly turned resentful: "You devils, you really know how to think!"
"Let's try it, do ghosts have this temperature?"
