"Alright, it's your turn now."

"Confess and you will be treated leniently; resist and you will be treated severely."

After dealing with the bald man, Lu Li turned his gaze to the other villagers lying on the ground like dead dogs.

The villagers watched helplessly as their fellow villagers died tragically.

Several villagers went crazy on the spot.

Fortunately, there were one or two people who were brave enough to maintain a shred of rationality.

One of the rough-looking men eagerly explained, "Young man, we really are selling watermelons, but our prices are a bit high..."

As he spoke, the rough-looking man kept glancing at the melon patch not far away.

The melon field was full of watermelons, and some of them even rotted in the field without anyone cleaning them up.

"Oh? How much more expensive?"

"A watermelon costs a thousand yuan..."

Lu Li stood there, stunned.

They could have just robbed you, but instead they gave you a watermelon as a freebie?

At this moment, Lu Li roughly understood what the rough man meant.

Huanggang Village is located in a remote area, and few people come here.

Heavy rains have been frequent in Dongjiang this year, resulting in a poor harvest of melons.

In one watermelon field, almost half of the watermelons were cracked.

With this appearance, no merchant would be willing to spend money to buy the melons.

Watermelon sales are one of the important sources of income for Huanggang Village. If this income is cut off, the village will have to endure hardship for the next six months.

When things are at their worst, change is necessary; change leads to progress!

Yes, the villagers have changed their mindset.

They were no longer willing to be honest and law-abiding citizens; they would stage a farce of forced buying and selling for anyone who passed by.

This trick worked every time, and he made over 100,000 yuan in just a few days.

But of all times, they ran into Lu Li today...

"I see. It seems everyone in your village is a shrewd businessman!"

Lu Li patted the rough man's head, like patting a watermelon, his fingers always unable to resist tracing patterns on his face.

In a short while, the rough man's face became even rougher.

His entire face was a bloody mess, covered in scratches.

"Old man, I'll ask you a question, you answer it."

"If you dare utter a single wrong word, you can forget about your head. Oh, and by the way... even if you call the police, I can still release you normally tomorrow~"

Evil people will be punished by other evil people.

The rough-looking man finally understood what it meant to be treacherous in the world.

"Brother, you're right, I absolutely won't lie!" the rough-looking man quickly said.

Lu Li pointed to Zhao Yaoyao in the Mercedes: "I came to your village with this woman to relax. Where can we stay?"

"The place to stay? You mean a farmhouse inn?"

The rough-looking man was dumbfounded.

Where could you possibly find a place to stay in such a remote mountain village like Huanggang?

On ordinary days, apart from the melon merchants coming over, there are only passersby.

"No—yes! If you're willing, I'll give you the house directly!"

The rough-looking man was about to give an honest answer.

But when he sensed the murderous intent, he felt a chill run down his spine and quickly changed his words.

Lu Li snorted coldly, his fingertips twitched slightly, and a stream of spiritual energy entered the rough man's body.

The violent spiritual energy washed over the rough man's meridians, and in just a moment, his limbs were restored to normal.

But Lu Li is no saint.

This spiritual energy was mixed with the strange power acquired a few days ago. If an ordinary person touched it and didn't dispel it in time...

At best, one suffers from a serious illness for three days; at worst, a minor ailment can plague one for a year.

In severe cases, death can occur within three days!

Whether one lives or dies is entirely up to fate.

"This...divine skill! Divine skill!"

The rough-looking man struggled to his feet, his eyes filled with fear and confusion.

Humanity secretly evolved without taking him along!

"I don't care about your house. Go find the most expensive house in the village. I'll stay for a few days and then return it."

"As for the reward... if you want it, then you might as well not live."

Lu Li coldly cut off the bald man's head and threw it into the rough man's arms: "Go! Take this thing, lest that family doesn't know what's good for them."

"Yes, mission accomplished!"

The rough-looking man covered his head in terror and scrambled away.

Back in the car, Lu Li casually smoked a cigarette.

Zhao Yaoyao couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "Aren't you afraid the bureau will label you a heretic cultivator for doing this?"

"Hehe... I have connections. Even if the sky falls, my master will hold it up."

Lu Li exhaled a puff of smoke and said calmly.

Zhao Yaoyao's eye twitched; she wondered which expert had been fortunate enough to have such a disciple...

Soon, the rough-looking man hurriedly returned, followed by several other people.

"Brother, we've found you a house. The village chief's house is the best in the whole village!"

As he spoke, the rough-looking man winked at the man next to him.

This man is the village chief of Huanggang Village.

The village chief glanced at the villager lying on the ground, lifeless and unsure of his fate, and the headless corpse, and immediately became obsequious:

"Sir, we are so sorry to have been so unwelcoming to Huanggang Village. My house... no! Your house is just ahead. I'll show you the way."

"My humble abode is simple; if there is anything I haven't done well in terms of hospitality..."

The village chief's eyes darted around, and he pointed to the eighteen-year-old girl beside him, saying, "This is my daughter, please take good care of her!"

The aura that Lu Li brought to them was too terrifying.

They dared to commit violence in broad daylight.

They even threatened that calling the police wouldn't catch him...

Having served as village chief for so many years, I've become accustomed to all kinds of affairs, big and small.

The legal system of Daxia is sound.

But are high-ranking law enforcement officials necessarily upright and incorruptible good people?

The village chief didn't believe it, but he didn't dare to gamble.

Lu Li followed the village chief to his house.

The village chief had already taken out his identification documents and money.

He is ready.

If Lu Li is unwilling to leave Huanggang Village, then the house will be left to him.

It was a two-story villa.

Lu Li nodded slightly: "No need to worry, I'll stay for a few days and then leave."

Upon hearing this, the village chief was overjoyed: "Then my daughter..."

Lu Li glanced at the trembling girl hiding behind the crowd and said disdainfully, "No need."

The girl had obvious bruises on her arms, her hair was messy, and her face was pale.

In many remote mountainous areas, there is often a preference for sons over daughters.

"Get out of here. Don't bother us unless it's absolutely necessary."

Lu Li said indifferently.

His tone made it seem as if he were the master of Huanggang Village.

Lu Li took Zhao Yaoyao to move into the small villa.

Zhao Yaoyao looked somewhat worried.

Lu Li's actions today were far too cruel, deserving of the title of tyrant.

Such behavior is no different from heretical practices.

If the higher-ups investigate and she is also eliminated, what should we do?

Zhao Yaoyao has no powerful backer, nor any influence behind her.

She became a cultivator entirely due to her exceptional talent.

"By the way, when are we going to handle the mission?" Zhao Yaoyao asked, hands on her hips, somewhat helplessly.

"What's the rush?"

"This mission is related to an ancient tomb. The tomb contains corpses that have not decomposed after death; these are called zombies. It is forbidden to go there during the day, but you can move around at night."

"Let's rest for a while and talk about it tonight."

"If it wasn't done by zombies, then it's at most just ordinary wandering ghosts. There's nothing to worry about."

As he spoke, Lu Li stretched.

They slowly walked towards a room that looked relatively clean.

He turned to Zhao Yaoyao: "Good teammate, want to rest together?"

Lu Li remained somewhat curious.

What exactly does Zhao Yaoyao's codename "White Tiger" refer to?

Zhao Yaoyao was stunned for a moment, then puffed out her cheeks in anger: "Big brother, do you know how old I am?!"

Lu Li pondered for a moment, then gave up.

Who is Zhao Yaoyao?

If you mess with her, and you abide by the law... three years at the very least!
