Become a true immortal by emulating all demons.

boom!boom!

Suddenly, a heavy thud was heard from the dark and quiet room next door.

Then came terrified sobs.

The people inside were clearly terrified.

"..."

Lin Shu stood alone in the dark alley.

A hint of weariness flashed across his eyes.

It wasn't the weakness from exhaustion, but the discomfort caused by the rapid draining of life force.

He lowered his eyes to look at his fingertips, and the black aura slowly dissipated.

Compared to the Moonlight Claw Technique used against Liu Laosan previously, which only gathered a few streams of light, this immortal technique was several times more lethal.

This is not just due to the fact that he was promoted one rank.

Lin Shu could vaguely sense that since the bad money was invested, the magic itself was also developing in a strange direction.

Of course, the price of this terrifying effect is that its consumption far exceeds expectations.

The mist that was originally feeding the white wolf phantom and sustaining Lin Shu's life has now reduced to less than 30%.

"Tsk."

Lin Shu turned around and sat down on the stone steps next to her.

The two sides were piled with corpses lying haphazardly.

"Murderers and arsonists wear golden belts, while those who repair bridges and roads leave no trace of their bodies; killing a worthless life earns a reward of five coins."

Life and death are determined by fate; even Yama, the King of Hell, can snatch a life. Saving a worthless life is rewarded with one coin for good deeds.

Tips about bad money and good deeds popped up all at once.

Lin Shu could almost hear the sound of coins clattering together.

The skinny man was worth five coins, and the rest were not bad either, each worth three coins.

A total of twenty-nine black copper coins fell into Lin Shu's sleeve.

He had anticipated the amount of counterfeit money, since this group was clearly much stronger than Liu Laosan, so it was normal for it to be more expensive.

However, the twenty tips about good deeds surprised Lin Shu.

The prostitutes in the Magpie's Nest, including Sister Hua and Old Yang, number only about twenty in total.

They didn't intend to let any of these go; they even shook the eggs until the yolks were broken.

Lin Shu braced himself on the ground with both hands, his gaze sweeping over the corpses scattered everywhere. He shook his head and sighed, "You guys are too ruthless."

I've rested enough.

He patted his clothes and lazily looked out into the alley:

"Officer, come in and collect the body."

"..."

Under the tattered red lantern, someone slowly walked out.

It was still that same dark face.

Chang Yi looked over with a complicated expression, the scabbard hanging at his waist, his hand pressed firmly on the hilt of the sword.

Actually, he had arrived earlier.

Using a stomachache as an excuse, he managed to get away from his senior for the time being and rushed to Qingliu Lane without delay.

Chang Yi leaned against the shadows and watched as Qin Yunhai and his group of martial arts school disciples entered the alley.

He was just hesitating.

In what situations and for what reasons should one take action so that they don't seem like a hired thug who's been paid to back up the Cunning Fox Gang?

But what Chang Yi didn't expect, and was even somewhat frightened by, was...

In that brief moment of hesitation, the whole thing became absurd and ended in the blink of an eye.

The strength Lin Shu displayed even made him feel a little uneasy.

The aura revealed by that immortal technique just now has exceeded the scope of what should be in the early stage of Qi Refining, and it seems to be approaching the middle stage of Qi Refining.

No wonder... no wonder the other party wasn't flustered at all!

My good intentions were probably seen as meddling in other people's business.

"You are not a fox."

Chang Yi's throat was dry, and his voice was much hoarse: "You're a wolf!"

As soon as he said those words, he finally understood why he had been instinctively holding onto the knife handle.

As a constable of the Purple Dragon, my duty since taking office has been to deal with the pack of ferocious wolves that roam the city.

The person in front of him was a wolf cub that had not yet grown up!

"Stop talking nonsense and get to work."

Lin Shu rolled her eyes and casually pointed to the corpses scattered on the ground.

"oh."

Chang Yi's turbulent thoughts were interrupted. He subconsciously nodded and loosened his grip on the knife hilt.

If a death occurs in one's own jurisdiction, one should indeed examine the body before reporting it to the authorities.

Just then, a roar came from outside the alley.

"Who the hell let you come here!"

The old constable rushed over, and after seeing the corpses scattered all over the alley, he was filled with fear and anger.

He clenched his fist tightly, almost slapping her across the face.

"I... this junior wanted to come and take a look... I was just about to examine the body..."

Caught red-handed lying, Chang Yi immediately looked guilty and even started to stutter.

"Inspect my ass!"

The old constable grabbed his arm suddenly and said angrily, "Come with me now."

"..."

Lin Shu calmly observed the changes unfolding before her, a hint of amusement in her eyes.

A moment later, he slowly got up, looking somewhat helpless.

These corpses all over the ground are really affecting business. Master Lin is so weak, he can't possibly move them himself.

"Officer, wait a moment." With that, he walked over to the two men.

"hiss!"

The old constable, sensing the overwhelming stench of blood, instinctively moved away.

His eyes narrowed slightly, filled with warning, and he lowered his voice, saying, "You stinking fox, don't come looking for trouble!"

"What's the rush? I'm just curious and want to ask." Lin Shu stretched.

"Huh?" Chang Yi looked over in confusion, wondering what the other person was doing.

Could it be that he's trying to get himself out of this predicament?

But Lin Shu is a member of the Blackwater Gang. Which government official would listen to a fox?

Before Chang Yi could figure it out, he saw Lin Shu reach out and vigorously rub the back of her head.

He stared blankly, his mind going blank: "..."

"That kid is incredibly stupid, making the officer so angry."

Lin Shu rubbed the blackened head with satisfaction and said with a smile, "If you ask me, why don't we just pluck that purple dragon off and stick it on your chest, Officer?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Of course... of course it won't work."

Upon hearing this, the old constable's face suddenly turned pale. He glanced guiltily at the charcoal-faced man next to him, afraid that the other man might have overheard something.

The yamen only asked him to help Chang Yi familiarize himself with the job.

His act of pretending to be a senior was against the rules, but this kid was just honest, obedient, and easy to manipulate.

To be honest, this naive 15-year-old is his real boss.

"So it doesn't work."

Lin Shu seemed to consider it seriously for a moment, and the smile on her face quickly faded.

His eyes turned icy as he stared intently at the old man, saying indifferently, "Then why don't you spit out what you should vomit?"

"What?! There's nothing here!"

The old constable, as if his tail had been stepped on, suddenly turned shrill, grabbing the bewildered Chang Yi and trying to pull him outside: "Let's go, stop listening to this scoundrel's nonsense!"

Unfortunately, he couldn't take that first step.

Snapped--

In an instant, a swift and vicious slap landed crisply on the old constable's face!

The slap not only stunned the old constable, but also struck Chang Yi like a thunderbolt; he had absolutely no idea what was going on.

Why would a fox dare to attack the officials without any reason?!

"Now, do you remember?" Lin Shu rubbed her wrist.

"you……"

The old constable stared blankly, covering his face, his lips trembling, the humiliation in his eyes quickly turning into a surge of anger!

He instinctively drew his knife, but then glanced at the other man's clothes, which were soaked in blood.

And then there's Chang Yi, who stands beside him like a wooden stake.

A moment later, the old constable's throat bobbed, and he stared at the young man with a sinister look in his eyes.

Reluctantly, he pulled a small cloth bag from his pocket, stuffed it forcefully into Black Charcoal Head's arms, and then ran out of Green Willow Lane without saying a word.

"What is this?"

Seeing that his senior had actually pulled out something after being beaten, Chang Yi's entire understanding of the world began to crumble.

Lin Shu's background seems to be much more terrifying than I imagined!

"Dirty money, do you want it?" Lin Shu raised an eyebrow.

"No." Chang Yi instinctively threw the cloth bag away.

"Then it's mine." Lin Shu took it directly and stuffed it into her arms.

"Why is that?" Chang Yi was a little confused, watching helplessly as the other person turned around and walked away.

"This is the money for my life. My life is mine, so of course I'm entitled to a share... Oh, right, hurry up and clean up. I need to open for business tomorrow."

Lin Shu had already walked away and casually waved her hand.

Hongyun Martial Arts School must have paid a heavy price to clear out this alley.

And this old bastard, having taken his life-saving money, still dares to wander around Qingliu Lane.

Lin Shu naturally wanted to use the tiger's skin to vent her anger.

The only thing he found interesting was that, until the very end, the charcoal-faced man didn't realize that the old constable wasn't truly afraid of himself, the fox, but rather of this "junior."

Accepting dirty money might not seem like much in the chaotic city of Blackwater.

However, if he were to embezzle his superior's share and cause a major incident, the old constable would be out of a job.

"call."

Lin Shu let out a long sigh, rubbed the ill-gotten gains in her palm, and pushed open the door to the magpie's nest.

After working so hard for so long, it's time to enjoy some relaxation.
