Eternal Sword

Chapter 290 Seeing Old Friends Again
"Yun Niang, he is a young man full of vigor and good-looking. Maybe he heard about Yun Niang's...love and came to see you on purpose."

In the lobby, someone suddenly started to make a fuss and shouted.

"Humph!"

Yunniang rolled her eyes at the man and said, "You are useless, don't you think I don't need to pay you?"

The hermit in the lobby joked with Yunniang, but the latter didn't take it seriously.

The originally quiet lobby now became more lively with bursts of laughter and whispers.

"Wu Ji, Liu Shou, carry him out!"

Yunniang raised her head slightly towards Chen Tang and gave a soft shout.

"Roger that!"

Suddenly, a thunderous response came from the direction of the kitchen.

The next moment, a bald man as tall as a hill walked out from inside. He was shirtless, his muscles were shining, and his eyes were like copper bells. With every step he took, the ground of the Shadow Building trembled slightly!

Chen Tang was already considered a burly man, but this man was even taller than him.

He finally understood why the doorway to the kitchen was designed to be so tall.

"and many more!"

The bald man walked straight towards Chen Tang with his eyes wide open and breathing heavily. As soon as he got close to Chen Tang, he was stopped by Chen Tang.

"how?"

The bald man asked in a muffled voice: "Do you want to go out by yourself?"

"Your name is Wu Ji?"

Chen Tang asked tentatively, then looked at the thin man beside Yun Niang and asked, "Your name is Liu Shou?"

The bamboo man smiled and nodded, then asked, "What can I do for you?"

"nothing."

Chen Tang said: "Just hearing the names of the two brothers, I feel a sense of familiarity. In my hometown, the Five Ridges and Six Beasts are simply famous and well-known!"

"Boss lady, he's praising me?"

Wu Ji turned to look at Yun Niang and asked in a muffled voice.

"What does it have to do with you!"

Yunniang rolled her eyes and said, "He's stalling for time and trying to get close to you two!"

Liu Shou smiled and said, "In fact, if you spend one hidden coin and let the boss lady recommend you to become a hermit, you can immediately receive tasks and you may earn it back quickly."

"There is a task here right now. If you complete it, you will not only be rewarded with one million taels of silver, but also six hidden coins."

Chen Tang said: "I heard that it is a Purgatory-level bounty, and they want to capture him alive."

"Ah."

Liu Shou nodded and said, "But don't worry, this man is seriously injured and has been poisoned by the Five Poison Powder. He can only exert 10% of his combat power. Any low-ranking person can subdue him. It depends on who is lucky enough to capture him alive in the end."

"Besides, this person is about to leave Shadow Building. The people here and outside are waiting for her."

Chen Tang suddenly felt curious and asked, "Why do you want to capture her alive? What earth-shattering secret does she know?"

Liu Shou smiled but said nothing.

"Because she's so ugly!"

Wu Ji suddenly said.

Yunniang couldn't help but roll her eyes again and said, "Your taste is so bad!"

After a pause, Yun Niang said, "Because the employer is reluctant to let her go. Haha, this woman is indeed too pretty. Fortunately, I am not a man, otherwise I would also be attracted to her."

At this moment, the lobby, which was originally slightly noisy, suddenly became silent!

“How good can it be?”

Chen Tang felt that what Yun Niang said sounded a bit mysterious, and Wu Ji had just said that this person was too ugly, so he didn't know whose words were reliable, so he asked casually.

"look by youself."

Yunniang raised her head slightly and pointed in the direction of the stairs to the second floor.

Chen Tang glanced sideways.

I saw a woman in a light blue gown, covered in blood, slowly walking down the stairs.

The woman's face was pale, without a trace of blood, but it still couldn't hide her stunning and flawless face and her otherworldly temperament. In the lobby, the breathing of many hermits became much lighter.

The woman walked very slowly, leaning her hand on a simple-looking long sword. She seemed to be enduring great pain with each step she took. Her graceful body trembled slightly, and the jade flute at her waist swayed gently.

There was a flash of astonishment in Chen Tang's eyes at first, but he quickly calmed down, sighed in his heart, and turned his head.

No wonder the employer was reluctant to let him go.

This woman from Shenzhou is none other than the Jade Flute Fairy!
At the beginning, Fairy Jade Flute and Song Wu came forward to rescue him and stopped the pursuers, but there was no news of them since then.

Chen Tang didn't expect to meet her on the Hermit Island in the East China Sea.

Why is she here?
Yunniang had just been observing Chen Tang's reaction.

Seeing Chen Tang recover from the woman's beauty so quickly, he couldn't help but look surprised.

This young man has such determination?

Could it be that I have made a mistake?

……

The Jade Flute Fairy slowly walked down from upstairs.

Every step was taken with almost all my strength.

The last bit of energy she had left could barely protect her heart meridians. With the internal and external injuries compounded, even a simple action like going down the stairs was extremely difficult and painful.

Fairy Yudi could feel the strange looks coming from all around her.

But she no longer cared.

I don't have the mind or energy to care about these looks.

After walking down the last step, Fairy Jade Flute's feet went weak and she almost fell down.

It seemed that someone next to her wanted to help her, but she ignored him, leaned on the Yeyu Sword with both hands, and slowly stood up with her remaining strength.

After a short rest, she took a deep breath and walked towards the door of Shadow Building with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

She knew that once she stepped out of the Shadow Tower, all the hermits could attack her!

"Pity."

Fairy Yudi looked at the Yeyu Sword in her hand.

She knew that she would not be spared today.

It's just a pity that the Yeyu Sword is the sect's sword of Bashan Sword School and is also her mother's legacy. Now it has to follow her and be left behind in this foreign country.

Countless figures flashed through her mind like a kaleidoscope.

There were fellow brothers and sisters from the same sect, many young geniuses who had been defeated by her sword over the years, and those interesting people she had met in Qian Country a few days ago...

That ugly horse...and its owner.

I heard that they have already... Alas.

Fairy Jade Flute came to the door of Shadow Tower, paused slightly, and then pushed the door open with force.

In the lobby, many hermits stood up, stared at the back of the Jade Flute Fairy, and walked towards the entrance of the Shadow Tower.

At the same time, the hermits outside the Shadow Building heard the noise here and started to gather here!
The Jade Flute Fairy looked ahead with a hint of mockery in her eyes.

You want to capture me alive? You really underestimate me, Ye Yushi!
The Jade Flute Fairy held the jade flute in her left hand, drew out the ancient sword, and just took a step forward. Before she had completely left the Shadow Tower, a person appeared in front of her, blocking her way.

He was a man as thin as a bamboo pole, with unsteady steps like willow catkins.

This guy seems to be the waiter of the proprietress of Yingzi Building, his name is Liu Shou.

Fairy Jade Flute frowned slightly, looked at this person coldly, and said nothing.

The hermits around all looked puzzled.

Liu Shou smiled slightly and said, "Fairy, don't worry, your guest room is not due yet."

"You remembered wrong."

Fairy Jade Flute spoke in a calm tone, unwilling to take advantage of this.

"Yes."

Liu Shou smiled and said, "Someone just extended the fairy's life for another day."
