No taboos

Chapter 396 Too Picky About Food
Xu Yuan was within a "five-mile" radius, so Fu Songyu casually asked, "Are you interested in Xu Yuan's body?"

Fu Hongyu: "No."

Fu Songyu was then able to be completely certain that Xu Yuan had never secretly practiced the "Dragon Transformation Technique".

The two brothers then returned with the puppet dragon and met up with some of the younger ones: "Let's rest."

……

After Xu Yuan went into the mountains, he intended to give up the position of "guide".

Gao Wanli took over and led everyone to waste two days in the mountains.

This time was reserved for the people from the public office to send a message to Old Man Bai.

Bai Laoyan also needs some time to contact Gao Guanzi and Tian Jing.

The next day, Xu Yuan led the way to Wangxiang Village.

Looking up from the road, I saw several dead birds flying high in the sky.

Turning my head again, I saw a ghostly infant's head floating like a gourd in a small river a hundred feet away.

Lord Xu nodded secretly, knowing that he had contacted Tian Jing and that Tian Jing and Jiao had made all the preparations.

The only uncertain factor in the entire plan is that Xu Yuan still doesn't know what the Fu family's secret technique is that can reveal the person who possesses the "Dragon Transformation Technique" within a certain range.

However, Xu Yuan secretly observed and speculated that even Zhu Zhanlei and Gao Wanli were unaware of the inside story.

After walking for two hours, suddenly a rushing sound came from a mountain stream ahead, as if some water monster or evil spirit was fighting.

Zhu Zhanlei immediately perked up.

With the "Dragon's Plague" enveloping him, his strength increased dramatically.

Having thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of being a "master" these past few days, he immediately rushed forward: "There's an evil spirit causing trouble! Let this young master go and crush it!"

Xu Yuan shook his head inwardly, realizing he needed to keep a close eye on this guy.

The spoiled brats, raised under the protection of powerful families, had no idea of ​​the dangers lurking beyond the borders.

Even now, when Lord Xu encounters any unusual situation in these mountains, he will try to hide or avoid it if possible.

Zhu Zhanlei, having won several victories yesterday, underestimated the evil spirits in the mountains and became careless, making it easy for him to suffer an unexpected defeat.

He was Miao Yu's future brother-in-law and Zhu Zhanmei's younger brother. If something happened to him while he was by his side, he would not be able to explain it to her.

Xu Yuan followed closely behind, only to be surprised to see several ghost infants tearing at a slender evil spirit in the mountain stream!

That's clearly... a dragon demon!

Xu Yuan then glanced back: The formation of the dragon evil spirit is most likely related to the Fu family's secret technique.

The ghost infant was still superior, tearing the dragon evil spirit into several pieces, each biting a piece and sinking into the stream, quickly disappearing from sight.

Zhu Zhanlei arrived, but it was too late to make a move, which was quite regrettable.

Xu Yuan didn't dare to stray too far from this guy and stayed by his side the whole time.

By evening, we had finally arrived at Wangxiang Village.

Xu Yuan and Bai Laoyan exchanged a few words, pretending to be friends.

Upon hearing that he was to be asked to betray Gao Guanzi, Bai Laoyan immediately turned and left.

He said frankly, "Those are my brothers and sisters, my dearest relatives and friends!"
Xu Yuanxiao explained the greater good and repeatedly elaborated on the advantages and disadvantages involved.

Old Bai simply disagreed.

Gao Wanli said impatiently, "Why waste words with him? Just kill him and interrogate his soul!"

Gao Wanli then pulled out a hand cannon as thick as an arm, with a demonic image of a blue-eyed barbarian carved on the barrel!
The cannon was pointed at Old Man Bai's eyes.

It shimmered with a red light like magma.

Old Bai showed no fear, gripping his wood-chopping knife and sneering repeatedly: "Soul interrogation? You try it!"

Xu Yuan frowned and scolded Gao Wanli: "You don't understand anything, so don't make trouble! The souls of mountain runners have problems. Once they die, their souls will immediately return to the mountains, making it impossible to examine their souls!"

"If you kill him, all our leads will be cut off! Finding Gao Guanzi in this vast Ghostly Mountain is like finding a needle in a haystack!"

Gao Wanli awkwardly put away her hand cannon.

Zhu Zhanlei, who had been listening from the side, was also getting impatient, and his playboy nature came out: "This young master will add more money!"

"Just name your price."

Old Man Bai's attitude changed swiftly: "How much more?"

Zhu Zhanlei chuckled, shaking his head smugly, "I knew it! This young master has never met a brother he couldn't betray..."

So Zhu Zhanlei personally negotiated a price with Bai Laoyan and agreed to set off early the next morning to take them to find Gao Guanzi.

Gao Wanli was extremely disgusted by this deal.

Those stinky men, always calling each other brothers and swearing oaths to the heavens.

It turns out that as long as the benefits are sufficient, one can disregard these oaths of brotherhood without hesitation!

"Gentlemen, please stay in our village tonight."

Old Bai extended a warm invitation.

Just as Zhu Zhanlei and the others were about to go in, Xu Yuan stopped them.

Xu Yuan quietly recounted the various strange situations he encountered on his first visit to the village.

Zhu Zhanlei and Gao Wanli were alright; they felt that even if the villagers were somewhat unusual, they could handle it.

But the other three captains of the Mountain and River Division felt a chill run down their spines!

"Thank you for the reminder, Lord Xu!"

Their opinion of Xu Yuan improved.

This person is worth getting to know better!

Zhu Zhanlei had no choice but to stay outside the village, but he had been eating dry food for the past few days. He said to Bai Laoyan, "Have the village prepare some good food and send it over. We'll give you extra money."

"no problem."

Not long after Bai Laoyan returned home, Zhang San's father brought out several women from the village with the hot dishes and meals they had prepared.

Zhu Zhanlei smelled an enticing aroma from afar and beamed with joy, "Quickly, let me have a taste. I've eaten plenty of delicacies, but this simple country meal tastes so good! It's truly unexpected."

But when you lift the steamer basket, there is indeed food, but every dish contains insects and snakes!

Even the steamed rice contained some woodlice and other insects!
Zhu Zhanlei felt a sudden discomfort in his stomach.

Gao Wanli felt nauseous.

Zhang San's father glared and said, "You ordered this food, so you have to pay for it even if you don't eat it!"

Zhu Zhanlei waved his hands repeatedly: "Give me the money, give me the money! Take it away quickly!"

Zhang San's father did manage to take it away, but Da Fu stopped him halfway there.

Such a wonderful thing, and you don't even know how to enjoy it?!

Dafu looked down on Zhu Zhanlei: "You young master, you're a bit too picky about food."

Dafu stuffed his head directly into the wooden bucket containing the rice and ate with great relish.

When Zhang San's father saw this, his eyes lit up, and he wanted to praise Master Xu for raising such a fat goose...

But suddenly, for some reason, a sense of alarm arose within me: these words must never be uttered!
Zhang San's father quickly took a few puffs of his cigarette.

I finally realized what was wrong: Why would Lord Xu bring a goose with him when he went into the mountains?

Zhu Zhanlei needed something from Master Dafu, and seeing that the dog liked to eat, he hurriedly said, "Give it all to it, let it eat its fill. If it's not full, you can make more, and I'll pay for it!"

Then he squatted down next to Dafu with a sly grin and whispered, "That thing I asked you for before..."
