Demonic Calamity Across the Heavens: Starting with Little Li's Flying Dagger

Chapter 99 I'm going home to eat abalone

"revenge?"

Master Yideng clasped his hands together, slowly shook his head and said, "Ci'en had already attained enlightenment on his deathbed. Your attempt to spread your power was not a good cause, but for Ci'en, it was a good result."

Furthermore, Ci'en had already attained enlightenment before his death, and if he considered it retribution, then how could there be any talk of gratitude or revenge?

Although there was anger on his face, as he fiddled with the prayer beads with his right hand and said a few words, his expression calmed down again, though there was an indescribable sadness in his words.

Seeing this, Wei Wu simply shook his head slightly and then asked, "The monk is indeed pragmatic; once he realizes he's no match, he always manages to come up with some fallacy."

He didn't make things difficult for Yideng, after all, in terms of character, Yideng was more deserving of the title of "high monk" than the monks of Shaolin Temple, and Wei Wu wasn't some devil who killed everyone he saw.

The vast and mighty true energy, like the sea and the tide, suddenly became as calm as water. In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Wei Wu had already killed one of the world's "top masters" and the top five below him (heartbreak is also a wound).

But he was still not satisfied and asked, "Master, do you know of any other people in this world who can be called masters?"

Knowing his thoughts, Yideng sighed and said, "I dare not say that I know all the strong people in the world, but there are still a few who are comparable to me."

However, based on my understanding of them, they are probably no match for you, benefactor. If you are after the title of "Number One in the World," you may be able to find one or two, but they are all free spirits who are rarely seen. Whether you can find them depends entirely on your fate.

If your purpose is to explore the path of martial arts and find two or three worthy opponents, I'm afraid you'll have to wait several years. We old folks are already decaying, but there is still one person striving upwards. Perhaps in twenty or thirty years, that person will be your opponent.

Cao Cao's ambition was for "fame".

However, he lacks the patience to travel the world looking for opponents.

He immediately shook his head and said, "Twenty or thirty years is too long; I only need to seize the day."

The martial arts world of Jin is indeed full of kind-hearted people. Even someone like Yideng, who has a blood feud with Wei Wu for killing his disciple, couldn't help but advise Wei Wu after hearing his words: "Benefactor, fame and fortune are nothing but fleeting clouds. Why be so obsessed with them?"

"I have my reasons for desiring to be famous throughout the world."

"If you only desire fame, you are abandoning the great path and choosing a lesser one!" Master Yideng was taken aback for a moment, then said softly, "The greatest heroes are those who serve their country and its people! Now, the Jin and Mongol are at war, and the Western Xia and Tubo are both disloyal. If you seek fame, why not dedicate yourself to serving your country? You will surely earn a reputation for chivalry, and one day your name will be etched in history. What a glorious thing that would be!"

A lamp and a word awaken the dreamer.

The world is different, so we can't just copy the old ways.

Although the world of Jin has its own "jianghu" (martial arts world), it is attached to the imperial court. Compared to the "jianghu" between countries, being confined to the martial arts world is actually a misguided path for Wei Wu (Cao Cao).

Wei Wu nodded and thanked Yideng politely.

Master Yideng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he listened to the advice. If such a strongman were to search for masters all over the world and kill indiscriminately, it would be a disaster for the martial arts world. It would be better to let him join the army and hope that the military could suppress his murderous aura.

So he spoke up, "I wonder which army you wish to join, benefactor? I still have some connections in Xiangyang, perhaps—"

"Join the army? Join what army?"

Wei Wu looked at Yideng with surprise.

Yideng replied in astonishment: "If I don't join the army, how can I serve my country?"

"What are you babbling about?" Wei Wu finally realized that Yideng wanted him to join the army, and he couldn't help but roll his eyes.

What he wants is fame!

And it can't be considered rare—his moral bottom line hasn't fallen that low!

Therefore, Cao Cao could only think of four words: "Assassinate the King!"

With a goal in mind, Wei Wu became too lazy to get involved in petty squabbles in the martial arts world. He turned around, waved goodbye to Yideng, who was still looking bewildered, and left with a hearty laugh.

Without any apparent purpose, Li Mochou continued to follow Wei Wu. Her peach-blossom face was pale and flushed, reflecting a mixture of admiration for Wei Wu's repeated defeats of masters, self-pity for her inability to defeat Lu Zhanyuan despite being a disciple of the Ancient Tomb Sect, and an indescribable sense of bewilderment.

However, Mu Nianci and Yang Guo showed no intention of pursuing Wei Wu any further.

They followed Wei Wu only to pay off their debts. Now that they see Wei Wu is determined not to take the money back, they can't keep following him, or they'll become bastards.

Mu Nianci had no choice but to hold the silver ingot and say to Yang Guo earnestly, "Guo'er, consider this money as a loan from someone. You must remember the name and appearance of that Uncle Wei Wu. If you have the opportunity in the future, you must return it."

"it is good."

After leaving Jiaxing City, Wei Wu looked at Li Mochou, who was still by his side. Seeing her distraught appearance, he couldn't help but tease her, "He was just a man. He's gone, so what? Why make such a fuss?"

People with a "love brain" are always sensitive to the word "love," as if possessing this word means that even if the sky were to fall, their brains would be filled with steel bars to hold it up.

Li Mochou was the same; upon hearing this, she showed neither fear nor apprehension towards Wei Wu. Her peach blossom eyes widened, and she said with dissatisfaction, "What do you mean by 'just a man'? He's mine, mine—"

The word "love" lingered on her lips, but Li Mochou couldn't bring herself to say it. After all, how could a woman who had been abandoned have the face to utter those two words?

Wei Wu chuckled, "Boring."

Li Mochou stared at him intently as he grilled the fish for a moment, then her beautiful face suddenly broke into a smile. "If that's the case, then you must not have a wife."

"Yes, I have a fiancée, but she's still young and it's not time for us to get married yet. I also have a few other women, but none of them are as passionate as you are. We make love when we're awake, and go our separate ways when we're drunk. It's all over in the future. It's not like we can't live without each other."

Wei Wu's words were like a bombshell that exploded in Li Mochou's mind, leaving the still innocent girl dizzy and disoriented.

A moment later, the fish was cooked, but Li Mochou was still in a daze.

It wasn't until Wei Wu handed the first fish to Li Mochou, saying, "This is my first time grilling fish. Have a taste. None of my women have this privilege."

Upon hearing this, Li Mochou's competitive spirit inexplicably took a turn for the better, and a smile unconsciously appeared on her lips. She didn't know why she was happy, and she took a bite of the hot fish that was placed in front of her.

Then----

"You grill fish without scaling it???"

Wei Wu suddenly realized, and immediately put the fish in his hand aside. Luckily, he hadn't eaten it himself, and had asked Li Mochou to try it first. "It doesn't look very appetizing."

"It's alright," Li Mochou chewed earnestly, trying to keep her expression normal, and forced a smile as she said, "I just think it's a shame this fish died. Want to try some?"

""

"No, I'm not stupid."

"Pah! Pah! Pah! Why don't you bring up two more fish, I'll cook them!"

"No, I'm going home to eat abalone."

Li Mochou: "???"
