I've never felt happy to become an immortal.

Chapter 112: Also known as the Peach Blossom Thief
What Bai Xuan wanted to express was actually "You may be my destined opponent."

Because in his opinion, Xi Qingqing is an opponent who must be defeated. If he cannot defeat this demonic woman from Xingyue, he will never be able to sit firmly on the top of the Wolong list.

Everyone else can be ignored, except Xi Qingqing.

Here lies a simple brain teaser.

Question: If you overtook the second place in a running race, what place would you finish in?
People who usually think too quickly will subconsciously think, I won the second place, but I am not sure if I won the first place?
Winning second place is just second place. You must win first place to become first place.

Although Bai Xuan showed some fighting spirit, these words had a different meaning to Xi Qingqing.

The phrase "as if it were destined" sounds very ambiguous no matter how you listen to it.

Is this white moonlight teasing me?

Xi Qingqing is naturally a beauty, otherwise she would not have been chosen as the person in the painting by the painting fanatic. Her appearance is always covered by a veil, but even so, she is still among the top ten beauties in Nanchu.

"I thought Bai Yueguang would be an upright gentleman, but I didn't expect him to be such a smooth talker."

She smiled and said, "Do you believe in fate too?"

Bai Xuan nodded slightly: "I believe it a little."

Because 'fate' is also one of the laws of nature.

So many true practitioners of heaven and earth firmly believe in destiny, and it does exist invisibly.

Of course, Bai Xuan's belief in the existence of destiny does not mean that he succumbs to it. On the contrary... He has met many children of destiny, but in hundreds of reincarnations, there has never been a child of destiny who could defeat him.

Just like the often joked about son of destiny Liu Xiu and time traveler Wang Mang in history - to these geniuses shrouded in the halo of destiny, he, a time traveler who is not bound by the laws of nature, is a natural mortal rival.

...In fact, Tiandao is not that stingy. In the previous life, he even made him a land immortal. But he blew himself up, which caused Tiandao to have his period. Until now, he has been bleeding every few days.

"Ms. Xi, you came here because you can't wait to fight with me?" Bai Xuan asked frankly.

"What about you? Are you ready?" Xi Qingqing threw the question back.

"I've received challenge letters from the top few on the Crouching Dragon Ranking." Bai Xuan poured himself some tea. "But they all said I'd have half a year."

"They are them, and I am me. The evil witch from the Demon Sect doesn't care about those complicated rules of the martial arts world." Xi Qingqing smiled.

"So you went to kill those Northern Zhou people?"

"Yes, they've crossed the line, and they don't deserve to be ranked ahead of me." Xi Qingqing waved the peach branch in her hand. In her hand, the ordinary branch became a deadly weapon. "They are obviously the elite soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, but they are all a bunch of poor guys. Killing them all won't make much money."

Bai Xuan looked at the demonic woman strangely. He had never seen anyone at the top of the Sleeping Dragon List short of money.

"You, a young master from a large guild, naturally don't understand. Although I was number one on the Crouching Dragon Ranking, I was feared wherever I went. People who gave me money were afraid I'd just pick the watermelons." Xi Qingqing moved lightly with lotus steps, twirling around the tea room. Her voice echoed from all directions, demonstrating her extremely high level of physical skill. "Without legitimate means of making a living, I can only rely on robbery and murder to make money properly."

A slightly sharp sound was heard in the air.

Bai Xuan raised the teacup in his hand, ding~ a piece of peach blossom branch was blocked by the teacup, making a slight vibration, and ripples appeared in the tea in the cup.

"What does Miss Xi need so much money for?"

"I want to buy a large villa and plant it with peach blossoms." Xi Qingqing sat at the table. "Considering the construction and renovation costs, it will cost tens of thousands of taels of gold."

"Thinking about buying a house at such a young age? I thought Miss Xi was doing it for the sect."

Bai Xuan responded silently to Xi Qingqing's test. The other party did not use his full strength, but even this small fight seemed like an interaction between the keeper and the Siberian tiger. Maybe it just used a little more strength unintentionally, which was enough to crush human flesh and bones.

"The Star-Moon Demon Sect is only responsible for raising you, not taking care of you. Once you're out there, your life and death are at the mercy of fate. Although they have outer sects, they usually only return to beg for food when they're exhausted." Xi Qingqing jokingly laughed, "I'm not going back... I'd better earn enough money to buy a villa soon."

"Then?"

"I'll plant flowers all day and take care of my parents." Xi Qingqing laughed as she finished speaking. She stood up from the table and suddenly appeared behind the young man. "You don't believe it, do you? How could a witch have such a simple wish?"

"I had a friend who said the same thing. Her only hobby was walking the dog and watching the clouds. She loved living in the mountains and would go down to pick fights when she was bored." Bai Xuan said slowly, "You and her are a bit similar. Being too talented makes you lose your way easily."

Xi Qingqing smiled through the veil. "You are indeed different from the others. When they face me, their attitude is always very clear... either obvious hostility and fear, or vigilance or flattery; and you actually chatted with me."

She took a step back, a faint murderous aura emanating from the air: "Can't you feel it? I could have killed you three times just now?"

Bai Xuan smiled and said nothing, but raised his hand and patted his waist gently.

Xi Qingqing lowered her eyes and saw that the scabbard hanging on Bai Xuan's waist was empty.

The famous sword Jiang Chengzi had left its scabbard at some point.

She turned suddenly and saw a sword flying past her shoulder.

Clang! Jiang Chengzi returned to the scabbard, and then extended the three-inch sword blade.

"I know you have a higher level of cultivation, so it would be difficult to defeat you." Bai Xuan stood with his hands hanging down. "But choosing to die together is too simple... Miss Xi still has a wish to buy a big house and plant peach trees. I believe she will not fight to the death with Bai here, right?"

Xi Qingqing stared at the sword that moved as nimbly as a living thing and asked curiously, "Is this your skill, or is this sword special?"

"All of them."

"If I offer you one thousand taels of gold, will you sell me this sword?"

Bai Xuan thought about it and nodded for the first time: "Okay."

Xi Qingqing blinked: "But?"

Bai Xuan said, "No buts. If you can come up with 1,000 taels of gold, I'll sell it to you... But I have to remind you, even if you can buy it, you won't be able to do what I can do."

"Well, forget it. One thousand taels of gold is enough for me to work hard on robbery for two and a half years."

Xi Qingqing just thought that flying a sword was novel and more efficient than killing people with a peach blossom branch. As for whether she knew swordsmanship or not, it was not important.

"One Kunnian can earn one thousand taels? Or gold?"

"In fact, working in the devil's way brings in more money. For example, the underworld is offering a reward of 5,000 taels of gold for your head."

"Who's offering the bounty?" "Northern Zhou, probably Snake King Valley," Xi Qingqing said. "It's a shame they're asking so low. If it were a hundred thousand taels of gold... I'd unleash my Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique and fight you to the death. My chances of financial freedom depend on it."

Looking at the money symbols flashing in the eyes of this witch, Bai Xuan suddenly felt that she might not be pretending, but might be a real witch who loves money and makes it in a proper way.

Bai Xuan suddenly had an idea and said, "I'll also put up a bounty someday."

"Who are you going to offer a reward for?"

"A bounty of 10,000 bones is offered to the Great Poison Sect. Let's set the reward at 250."

"Hahaha!" Xi Qingqing burst into laughter. "What a good idea! Even if I can't hurt him, I'll at least disgust him."

Bai Xuan asked again: "You don't accept bounty missions from the underworld?"

"I am a demon girl from the Demon Sect, not a demon leader from the Demonic Path." Xi Qingqing glared at him and shook the peach blossom branch unhappily, and suddenly a strong wind blew in his face.

"What's the difference?"

"A witch sounds cute, but a devil sounds crazy." Xi Qingqing held up a peach blossom branch. "Accepting a gangster bounty means killing for money. Dirtring your hands is one thing, but just like officials accepting bribes, it's a lifelong accusation. They'll use it as a threat to keep you from accepting orders."

"Becoming a demon may make you money quickly, but you'll also die quickly."

"That would be too conspicuous and would easily attract the attention of the imperial court. It's impossible to live to old age relying on the money earned from the bounty."

"Emm..." Bai Xuan's eyes were empty: "Is this your excuse for robbing people?"

"The people I rob are all from the underworld, and I have principles. I always share the money I see, and I'll give you half if you surrender." She explained, "If I see your wallet, it's my share. If you surrender, I'll only take half."

"That sounds nice, but isn't that just highway robbery?"

"No, it's not robbery!" Xi Qingqing swung the peach blossom branch: "I sold the peach blossoms to them."

"what?"

"My peach blossoms are of very good quality and can be used to make tea. Didn't you just drink some?"

Bai Xuan glanced at the teacup in his hand and fell into deep thought for a moment.

I drank it myself, does this mean...

"You're right." Xi Qingqing spread her hands. "Give me the money, Bai Yueguang... You're the Young Master of Juyi Pavilion, you wouldn't owe me money, a little girl, would you?"

He has a typical money-hungry face that says "I'm cute, please give me money."

No, ladies...

Bai Xuan couldn't understand why this former top of the Sleeping Dragon List was such a person who valued money so much?

As long as the sect provides a little financial assistance, it won't be to the point of not providing any financial assistance at all.

Bai Xuan sighed, took out his purse, took out a banknote and a few taels of silver, and placed them on the table: "This is all my belongings."

Xi Qingqing walked over quickly with a gust of fragrance and picked it up casually.

"one……"

The first note is a happy upturn.

"Hundred?"

The second note is incredibly broken.

She held up the banknote and looked at it over and over again. Anger welled up in her heart. She slammed the table, rolled up half of her sleeves, and showed her bandit posture: "Only one hundred taels? Do you think I'm a beggar? I'm the great Peach Blossom Bandit. Wherever I go, no grass will grow! Whoever sees it will get a share. You must give me half, otherwise this matter will not end!"

"No, Miss Xi misunderstood. Of course it's not one hundred taels." Bai Xuan shook his head and drank his tea slowly.

Xi Qingqing crossed her arms and thought that this was about right. If she spent a hundred taels to go to the capital, she would lose everything.

"It's fifty taels." Bai Xuan continued.

"Five..." Xi Qingqing choked.

"You still have to give me fifty taels."

Bai Xuan reminded him, "After all, what you have in your hand is all my belongings. I have already given you half, so you have to leave me half."

This time it was Xi Qingqing's turn to be dumbfounded.

She widened her eyes, thinking she could get a big payout this time.

"I don't believe it! You are the Young Master of Juyi Pavilion!"

Bai Xuan took the purse and threw it over.

Xi Qingqing put on her purse and pulled out three strands of women's long hair from it.

It's really empty.

"Why, how could it be like this, why is it just this little?"

She picked up the hundred taels and looked at it from left to right: "It's not enough! How is this possible!"

Bai Xuan smiled: "Why not?"

He pointed at the other person and said: "You are a poor guy, I am also a poor guy... We are on the same side."

"The former and current Wolongbangtou have no money. Isn't that reasonable?"

"So Miss Xi and I hit it off right away. I can't help but sigh, it's simply destiny."

"Because we are all in the same situation and are short of money."
