Mao Shan Ming's face was numb, his eyes unfocused: "For this trip, Master Tan would practically kneel down and beg you to accept three thousand silver dollars, but me... he, he just gave me three."
The fifty-year-old man's tearful eyes made Mu Chen burst into laughter.
"Think about it from a different angle. If I wasn't there, you and those two ghost babies would have been utterly defeated. How would you have gotten any silver dollars?"
Mao Shan Ming slumped in defeat: "I understand all the logic, but it's all about comparison... uhm?!"
"You... you know?"
He raised his head abruptly, his face full of shock, anxiety, and guilt.
"If I can't even recognize two wandering souls who aren't even considered malicious spirits, what kind of cultivator am I?"
Mu Chen smiled faintly, turning his head to admire the sky's fading light. He said leisurely, "Don't be nervous. As long as they don't cause trouble, I won't do anything to them."
"They might even be needed to help with certain things at crucial moments."
The carefree words, like a spring breeze, soothed the anxiety and guilt in Mao Shan Ming's heart.
Looking at Mu Chen, who stood radiant in the fading light, he felt like he was seeing a transcendent being.
Seeing Mao Shan Ming remained silent, Mu Chen turned his head to check. Seeing him staring blankly, he couldn't help but glare at him.
"I've said what I needed to say. Why haven't you released them yet?"
Mu Chen glanced at the satchel behind him, filled with silver dollars, almost taller than himself. "It's not hard for me to carry it, but it just looks a little unsightly."
Mao Shan Ming snapped out of his daze, hurriedly untied the Hidden Sun Umbrella from his back, allowing Da Bao and Xiao Bao to use their Yin energy to store the satchel inside.
Mu Chen nodded in satisfaction: "Now that's what I'm talking about!"
As the two continued their journey, the night descended. The houses along the road gradually disappeared, and the woods grew thicker.
Suddenly.
The sound of a chaotic fight came from the distance ahead.
Mao Shan Ming's heart sank as he looked at Mu Chen: "Master, should we hide?"
"Whether they are evil people or evil spirits, they should be the ones hiding from me."
Mu Chen shook his head, his expression calm as he continued forward.
Mao Shan Ming could only follow closely behind him.
In the middle of the road, a carriage was surrounded by bandits.
Twenty or so guards were being attacked by eight or nine bandits.
The bandits were incredibly strong, each strike killing one or two guards.
The guards' short swords could only leave white marks on the bandits' bodies.
In front of the bandits, the tall, strong, and well-trained guards seemed as weak as lambs.
"Using evil arts to harm the innocent… they must die!"
Mu Chen's eyes turned cold.
He strode forward and charged into the fray.
"Let me see how strong you really are!"
His voice was cold, and his perfected Ba Ji Quan, combined with his monstrous physique, unleashed gusts of wind with each strike!
Ba Ji Quan, with its full armor, even gods would fear it!
BOOM~!!
With a 'Pressing Against the Mountain' move, one bandit's chest caved in, and he flew out like a cannonball. Before he hit the ground, his life had already ceased!
BOOM~~!
With an 'Old Ape Hangs Its Seal' move, the heads of two bandits flew high into the air, their headless bodies spurting blood like fountains!
BOOM!!
BOOM~~!
BOOM…
Every part of Mu Chen's body became a deadly weapon. He chopped, elbowed, smashed, and pressed, showcasing the purest form of violent aesthetics!
From the moment he charged in, to the moment the bandits were all dead, it only took three to five seconds.
The surviving guards hadn't even reacted.
When they finally regained their senses, they looked at the young man in white standing amidst a sea of corpses. They were both joyful and horrified.
The bandits, each one strong enough to kill them all, seemed like they were made of paper in the hands of this young man…
How could there be such a strong person in the world?!
A delicate face, pale as paper, peeked out from behind the carriage curtains.
Although Ren Ting Ting felt relieved that the bandits were dead, the sight of so many corpses still made her feel physically uncomfortable, especially since she had never even killed a chicken.
But when she saw the young man's face, her pale face turned red at a visible speed.
Her fearful and anxious eyes seemed to sparkle with pink hearts.
Even heroes fall for beautiful women, and beauties can't resist the charm of heroes!
Mu Chen, already as handsome as Pan An, combined with his Demoness physique and the "hero saves the day" buff, was too much for a young girl just starting to understand love. She couldn't resist, simply couldn't!
"This person... this person is glowing!"
Ren Ting Ting muttered softly, her voice melting hearts.
【You have successfully vanquished evil, slaying the bandits possessed by evil energy. You have received the following rewards: Three years of cultivation, 10 sets of Sexy Underwear!】
Hearing the system's notification, Mu Chen's eye twitched slightly.
Three years of cultivation was good. It made his magic power a little thicker.
But sexy underwear? What the heck?!
I'm a Taoist!
He stored the underwear in his system and didn't retrieve it, thinking he would give it to a worthy person someday.
"This humble one… this humble one is Ren Ting Ting. I thank you, young master, for saving my life…"
Her soft voice brought Mu Chen back to reality.
He saw a young woman, about his age, approaching him with a bow, escorted by the guards.
The young woman was graceful and delicate, like a Jiangnan woman, but she had two large breasts, small but firm, and her white dress went down to her knees, revealing her slender legs and white ankles. Her whole being exuded freshness and purity.
A gentle breeze carried a light fragrance of her body to his nose, refreshing and captivating.
Mu Chen's face showed a hint of surprise. He didn't expect the young woman he saved to be Ren Ting Ting from the movie "Mr. Vampire."
Upon learning that Mu Chen and his companion were going to Ren's Residence in Renjia Town at the behest of Tan Million, Ren Ting Ting felt secretly happy. She thought it was a sign that she and Mu Chen were destined to meet.
She immediately invited them to travel together, enthusiastically inviting Mu Chen to get into the carriage.
Mao Shan Ming instinctively wanted to follow Mu Chen, but he was stopped by Ren Ting Ting's personal maid.
"Don't you know that men and women shouldn't have close contact? It's rude for you, a man, to share a carriage with my young mistress at night."
Looking at Mu Chen, who had already gotten into the carriage, Mao Shan Ming: ???
