This place is fun

Chapter 165 Benefits
The girl seemed to have some difficulty in moving the beads, but when the beads were in place, Su Daoshan felt that the air around him became sticky, as if he was immersed in a vat full of paste, and his whole body was bound by an invisible force. It was difficult to even move.

"Damn it!" The last bit of fantasy in Su Daoshan's heart was shattered.

During the sparring in the afternoon, he was still able to exchange a few moves with "Fan Caiyi", but now he discovered that after pulling off the red hairband, the girl in front of him changed not only in appearance, but also in her full strength.

As a demonic demon, she can be ruthless and unscrupulous, treacherous and untrustworthy, and is completely unconstrained by the righteous image of the "Snow Fairy". As for the hidden secret weapons, magic and magic martial arts on her body, she can use them at will. To be frank, her current strength is at least two steps higher than mine. It is a complete crushing blow to deal with me!
If she was determined to take me away, there was no way I could resist.

"Stop..." Su Daoshan raised his hand with difficulty and gestured to stop.

Song Xier flicked the beads with her fingers and Su Daoshan suddenly felt that all the restraints on his body were lifted and he felt relaxed as if he had emerged from the deep sea.

Su Daoshan looked at the abacus in Song Xier's hand with envy and asked, "Enhance?"

Song Xier had a playful look on her face, but upon hearing this, her eyes immediately fixed on Su Daoshan's face. She stared at him for a long while before nodding and saying, "Your insight is indeed extraordinary."

Song Xier couldn't help but be surprised.

You know, generally speaking, extraordinary warriors will choose secret weapons that match their extraordinary path. No matter which line of work, whether it is a scholar, farmer, worker, merchant, or soldier, the more the secret weapon matches their own extraordinary characteristics, the more they complement each other, and the greater the improvement in combat power.

Naturally, Song Xier's golden abacus is no exception.

This secret weapon has multiple properties. From the ones to the tens, then to the hundreds and thousands, each movement of the beads can release a different secret technique.

The secret technique activated by the single-digit abacus is illusion. Its function is to draw the opponent into an illusion created based on a certain desire or flaw deep in his heart, thereby blinding his mind and making him give up resistance unconsciously.

The most terrifying thing is that the opponent who is pulled into the illusion will be dragged into a transaction unknowingly.

For example, when Tu Sen was pulled into the illusion, he was exhausted from chasing Song Xier all the way. The inn formed by the golden abacus was born in response to the flaw deep in Tu Sen's heart. When Song Xier, the proprietress of the inn, handed the room key to Tu Sen, Tu Sen didn't know that once he took the key, it meant the transaction was established.

And the price he will pay for this deal is death.

Under normal circumstances, Song Xier, who had already lit the musket, could easily deal with Tu Sen - even if a big hole was blasted in Tu Sen's chest by the musket, he would be lost in the illusion and unable to wake up, let alone launch a counterattack.

This is the real power of illusion.

However, no one expected that there was an extra Su Daoshan in the inn at that time, and Su Daoshan happened to see through the illusion, causing the illusion to collapse, which almost allowed Tu Sen to turn the tables.

The same was true of the bridal chamber just now. If Su Daoshan failed to see through the illusion and allowed his desire to control him and have physical contact with the bride, he would be addicted to the illusion and unable to extricate himself. Song Xier would certainly not hurt him, but she could make him willingly follow her out of Yishan City. If you let him go south, he will never go north; if you let him beat a dog, he will never chase a chicken.

This secret technique is a perfect match for business warriors. All those who have seen this golden abacus are afraid of it. It can be said that half of Song Xier's reputation as a demon witch, in addition to her moodiness and cruelty, comes from this secret technique.

As for the second secret of the Golden Abacus, not many people have seen it.

And most people thought it was a water-binding technique until they died. After all, Shang Dao Chaofan corresponds to the water of the five elements, and it is normal for Shang Shuidao's secret weapon to have a water-based secret technique.

However, only Song Xier knew that the secret technique of the ten beads of the golden abacus was called [Multiplication]. And the water-binding power it displayed actually came from the water-based technique [Vortex Chain] that she had comprehended.

[Vortex Chain] can create a water vortex in the space beside the opponent, and bind them tightly with the water chain. The longer the time, the deeper the bound person sinks, and the greater the binding force.

In extreme cases, the opponent may even be squeezed to death by the intense water pressure!

However, the vortex chain requires an extremely high level of realm for the extraordinary warrior. With Song Xier's current strength, she can only create a few water chains as thick as her forearms at most to briefly and slightly control the opponent.

Therefore, one day, Song Xier had an idea and combined [Vortex Chain] and [Multiplication] to increase its power tenfold. However, it was precisely because of this superposition that [Vortex Chain] completely lost its original surface form. The water chains turned into thick water vapor like paste or even mercury, forming a vortex that directly trapped people in it.

This was originally one of Song Xier's deepest trump cards, but unexpectedly, Su Daoshan not only easily broke the illusion again, but also saw through the essence of the second secret technique of the Golden Abacus at a glance!
"This guy is simply a genius!" Song Xier thought to herself. In a trance, she suddenly had a feeling that her decision to shoot the Wen Dao seed into Su Daoshan's forehead was a kind of destiny.

Su Daoshan had no idea how many thoughts Song Xier had in mind at that moment. He took his eyes off the abacus and said bluntly, "Two conditions!" Since he knew he couldn't resist, he could only settle for a better position. This was one of the most important principles Su Daoshan learned when he was studying law.

Besides, Su Daoshan also knew that the Su family’s situation could not be solved by just pretending to be an ostrich and not seeing it.

In my previous life, an old Taoist master once said, "In life, there are some things that you can't avoid. You have to sing the song that matches your path."

Whatever ghost you see, you will draw the corresponding talisman!

The opponent is already at your doorstep. Instead of just sitting there and waiting to die, you might as well give it a try.

"First," Su Daoshan raised a finger and said confidently, "I'm afraid of death. Right now is a time of chaos and war. If we go out like this, I'm afraid we won't even make it to Wanchang City. So, you have to ensure my safety, otherwise, I'll die in Yishan City. Even if you kidnap me, you can take me away, but you can't take my heart."

Song Xier frowned and glared at Su Daoshan. "Don't worry about that. Besides me, we have helpers along the way. As long as I don't die, I can guarantee that no one can hurt you! What is your second condition?"

"I want benefits!" Su Daoshan said confidently, "You asked me to follow you through fire and water and fight for you, you can't not give me any benefits, right?"

"Isn't it for your Su family?" Song Xier snorted coldly, thought for a moment, took out a few jade coins from her purse, two big ones and three small ones, and handed them all to Su Daoshan: "Take them."

Su Daoshan took it and stuffed it into his arms, then said with disdain: "For this, who do you look down on?"

"Then what else do you want?" Song Xier looked at him unkindly.

"I'll take anything you can give me," Su Daoshan said calmly, "It all depends on your sincerity, Senior Sister."

Song Xier glared at him fiercely, bit her lip, and quickly flipped her hands in the air, making a series of gestures. Finally, she reached out and grabbed, grabbing three golden coins from mid-air.

After hesitating for a long time, Song Xier put one of them in Su Daoshan's hand with heartache.

"What is this?" Su Daoshan turned the coin curiously.

The coin in his hand was round on the outside and square on the inside, with an ancient style. It looked like a copper coin from the old era, but it was obviously made of gold. What was even more strange was that the patterns and characters engraved on the coin were clearly there, but they could not be seen clearly, as if they were blocked by something and were blurred.

"This is Tongbao money." Song Xier said, "It is also Shang Dao Chaofan's life money. You will know its specific function when you condense your own life book in the future. You just need to understand that for any extraordinary warrior, the life instrument is a priceless treasure that can be exchanged for at any price."

She reluctantly raised her eyes from the coin in Su Daoshan's hand and met his eyes seriously: "This coin is in your hand. You can use it to exchange for me to do something for you. As long as I can do it, I will do it. Are you satisfied now?"

"Oh?" Su Daoshan's eyes lit up, and his gaze instantly fell on the other two natal coins in Song Xier's hand.

The next second, he found a sharp dagger pressed against his throat.

"Do you want me to give it all to you?" Song Xier laughed, with a charming curve at the corner of her mouth. She tilted her head slightly, with a look in her eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and seemed to be angry but not angry.

Su Daoshan's heart skipped a beat.

In his previous life, he had seen at least 8,000 beauties. There were countless people who had their photos retouched online. But until this moment, the natural charm between the eyebrows and eyes of the girl in front of him made Su Daoshan deeply understand what was a disaster. He understood why there were such absurd things as "playing tricks on the princes with beacons" and "from then on, the king would not attend the court early in the morning".

Su Daoshan shook his head quickly and said seriously, "Am I, Su Daoshan, the kind of person who takes advantage of others' misfortune and is insatiable?"

Under the starlight, the water gurgles. Beside the canal, the boy and girl look at each other, one with a charming smile, the other with a clear and upright look.

"Okay," Song Xier put away the dagger and tied a red hairband. In an instant, the girl who was like a ball of wildfire turned back into the cold and indifferent appearance of the Snow Fairy Fan Caiyi.

"The longer the night, the more trouble we have. Let's go now!"
