There, a bloody gash was clearly visible, as if cut open by a sword blade.
Without Jiang Sishui's pressure, the blood gushed out immediately.
The shopkeeper's eyes bulged as he stared intently at Jiang Sishui, but he couldn't utter a single word. He could only use his last strength to frantically grab at her.
A cold glint flashed in Jiang Sishui's eyes as she smiled and said, "Shopkeeper, have a safe journey."
After struggling for a while, the shopkeeper's mind gradually became hazy, and finally his head lolled to the side, and he stopped breathing.
Jiang Sishui dragged the body into the inner courtyard, dug a hole, and hastily buried it under a tree in the courtyard.
Then, he drew water from the well to wash away the bloodstains at the scene, preventing the smell of blood from spreading.
"Once your body is discovered, I shouldn't be afraid of the Six Doors anymore."
Jiang Sishui stepped onto the burial site of the Iron Shopkeeper without feeling any burden.
This shopkeeper, known as Iron Shopkeeper, is a famous doctor in the southern part of the city. He is highly skilled in medicine, but he is also treacherous, cunning, and sarcastic.
He was both a doctor and a pharmacy owner, so when treating patients, he would often add a large number of herbs unrelated to the illness to the prescription, just to rip off the patients.
These are things that most people don't know, but Jiang Sishui, who works odd jobs at the pharmacy to make a living, knows them all.
The reason why Tie Zhanggui let Jiang Sishui do odd jobs for him was mainly because Jiang Sishui was cheap.
Even so, Manager Tie often deducted the already meager wages for various reasons and frequently delayed payment.
Before Jiang Sishui awakened her memories of her past life, she was timid and dared not resist, so she suffered a lot at his hands.
Iron Shopkeeper often mocked Jiang Sishui, giving him the insulting nickname "Jiang the Top Scholar".
Recently, Jiang Sishui accidentally knocked over a medicinal herb on the ground. He could have just picked it up and been done with it, but the shopkeeper insisted that he had ruined the herb and demanded that he pay for it.
Jiang Sishui had no choice but to go up the mountain to pick that herb. Then she accidentally tripped and fell, and almost lost her life.
Now that his past life memories have awakened, he has undergone a complete transformation and naturally wants to seek revenge.
They came both to vent their anger and for money.
What's the fastest way to make money in this world?
Murder and robbery must be one of them!
Iron Shopkeeper, nicknamed "Iron Rooster," is a notorious "Pixiu" in the area, known for his insatiable greed when accumulating wealth but extreme stinginess when spending it.
His house was always unlit at night, and he never served meat in his meals. He had never even married a wife.
He simply didn't want his wife to spend his money, and having another person meant having another mouth to feed.
Therefore, he was the only one living in the entire pharmacy.
This is one of the reasons why Jiang Sishui made him her target.
"You had money, but you couldn't even afford to hire a guard. Now that you're dead, what good is all that money? Did you really think that just because this place is close to a branch of the Six Doors, no one would dare to commit a crime?"
Jiang Sishui shook her head, indicating that she did not understand.
It can only be said that the gap between people is sometimes greater than the gap between people and dogs.
It's normal for him not to understand the thought process of a "tightwad".
Afterwards, Jiang Sishui searched through the iron shopkeeper's bedroom and eventually found five hundred-tael silver notes and several dozen taels of loose silver.
"Five hundred taels should be enough."
The Iron Shopkeeper has been accumulating wealth for many years, so he must have more than just this much savings. He might even have a secret stash of money hidden somewhere.
But Jiang Sishui was already content and too lazy to look for more money; enough money was enough for her.
If we're really short of cash, we can always pull off another job!
The most urgent thing is to leave here.
Climb up a tree against the wall in the inner courtyard and observe the street from above.
After confirming that no one was around, he leaped onto the wall and then jumped down, stealthily disappearing into the shadows.
There were no surprises along the way.
After returning home, Jiang Sishui hid the silver, took a bath, and buried her blood-stained clothes in the ground.
After tidying up, I went back to my room and fell asleep immediately.
He was exhausted after a long day.
The next day.
As the sun rose above the treetops, Jiang Sishui slowly awoke. After washing up, she summoned her diary and began recording the day's events.
008 Huang Rong and Yan Ling Ji: One or the other?
As Jiang Sishui began writing, the other women also sensed something and summoned copies of the diary to check.
[Yes, yesterday we talked about the last unavoidable element in martial arts novels: a peerless beauty.]
Upon seeing this sentence, all the women's eyes lit up, and their hearts jumped into their throats.
Yesterday, Jiang Sishui stopped writing at a crucial point, which made many people so angry that they wanted to bite him.
They desperately wanted to know who this last person was!
Although the selection criteria are only based on fame, which does not mean that they are the most outstanding, it is still a competition among the women.
Aside from someone like Xiaolongnu who is almost devoid of emotions and desires, almost no one is indifferent, and almost everyone wants to win.
After reading the first diary entry yesterday, I wonder how many people couldn't sleep at night, wondering who would get the last spot, and whether it would be themselves.
And now, the answer is finally about to be revealed!
The women all put down what they were doing, widened their eyes, and stared intently at the page.
Finally, the writing appeared...
[This last one, and the most important one, in my mind, she is the "Number One Extraordinary Woman in Wuxia"]
Moreover, the reason she received this honor is not entirely the same as the previous two.
The reason why Wang Yuyan and Xiaolongnu are so popular is because they are both incredibly beautiful and possess an ethereal and otherworldly aura, like celestial beings descended to earth, making ordinary people feel ashamed of their own appearance.
In my opinion, they represent the pinnacle of beauty. Looking across the world, it's hard to find anyone more captivating than them.
At best, it will break even.
"A celestial being descended to earth? At best, it's a break-even situation?"
Seeing this, some of the women were filled with curiosity, and couldn't help but imagine what a celestial being descended to earth should look like, that Jiang Sishui could give such a high evaluation.
The women whose appearance was rated as perfect by the diary copy were unconvinced, feeling that they were definitely no worse than the two women!
But... what kind of ethereal, fairy-like temperament should it be?
Many people fell into deep thought.
At the same time, they became increasingly curious about who this last person was.
Wang Yuyan and Xiaolongnu are already highly regarded, so who could possibly surpass them?
At this moment, Wang Yuyan of Mantuo Manor and Xiaolongnu of Zhongnan Ancient Tomb were also staring intently at the diary.
They also wanted to know the answer to this question.
The only woman who could surpass the two celestial beauties was none other than the charming Huang Rong of Peach Blossom Island.
"Is it really me?!"
The surface of the East China Sea.
Huang Rong sat on a flower boat, and when she saw her name appear in the diary, she was taken aback.
Who is this last person? Could it be myself? (Disgust)
This is a question that all owners of copies of the diary have considered.
Huang Rong was no exception.
She even had considerable confidence. (Brick)
There was no other reason than that the title page prominently displayed the words "Group".
[Character: Huang Rong] (Start)
[Instrument: 10] Suspicious
[Affection Level: 10]
A perfect appearance is a guarantee, but the key is a perfect impression.
According to the rating criteria, the diarist's obsession with her had reached the point of "infatuation"!
If Huang Rong hadn't been so exceptionally talented, would the diary's author have had such a high level of affection for her?
Huang Rong, being exceptionally intelligent, immediately connected many possibilities, which was her biggest basis for believing she had a chance of securing the last spot.
However, until the answer is revealed, everything is still just speculation.
After all, who knows if he's the only one with two perfect scores? (Ling)
Now that the guess has come true, even though Huang Rong was mentally prepared, she still feels a sense of unreality and disorientation.
