Fairy, I really am a villain!

But he didn't, because if he chased after it, the monster feeling threatened might turn around and fight back; and Fang Xiwen was destined to fail to catch up, and the monster really had no hostility towards him.

...

...

Fang Xiwen used his full strength to activate the Luoxu Shenyou, but he could only watch the distance between him and the giant snake grow farther and farther. He knew why the shop owner was willing to die.

He may have known that the giant snake was not his wife, but he had been deceiving himself because otherwise he would have no reason to live;

It was Fang Xiwen's words that made him make up his mind, gave him the courage to face reality, and made him accept his wife's death, but also made him lose the meaning of living!

After telling him his story and "entrusting" his and his wife's lives to Fang Xiwen, the shop owner finally didn't have to suffer the torture of righteousness and could die in peace.

Because someone would remember them...So, the shop owner was killed by me.

"Come back to me!!"

Watching the giant snake disappear among the mountains and forests, he finally roared and tightly gripped the sword in his hand.

In the end, he was still powerless. Fang Xiwen almost regarded this as a preview of the future, and his mood gradually became depressed.

Because he wanted to save many people, but his power was far from enough.

If the Emperor is the best in the world, then perhaps that is what he deserves - that is the path of giving up everything and carrying everything.

But Fang Xiwen didn't want this to happen, because what the Emperor had given up was exactly what he wanted to protect. And if he didn't take this path, he didn't seem to have enough power to protect it. It was a dead end.

At this time, a man in green came and landed on the small hill. The sword fairy appeared and said softly, "He really loves his wife."

"What's the use? That's not a human at all, it's just a monster with intelligence!" He clenched his fists tightly and suppressed his voice.

"Who told you it wasn't?"

"?" Fang Xiwen suddenly raised his head and met the sword fairy's eyes with a hint of smile.

No matter how many times he saw it, the Sword Immortal thought that his way of standing up for others was good, because it was the exact opposite of the Emperor. Even if he couldn't do anything now, one day he would achieve the highest level of enlightenment.

In fact, the Sword Immortal was willing to help him in the beginning because he said that he didn't want Luo Qingni to become like himself, and only then did he slightly let go of his prejudice.

"Didn't you listen carefully? The shop owner said that what he saw was his wife's 'half body'," the sword immortal said leisurely, "That didn't mean she was eaten, but her true form was revealed."

"what?"

"It was a black-scaled two-headed snake, and it was about to reach the Jindan stage, so it couldn't suppress the urge to devour flesh and blood, and attacked the people in the inn."

"You, you mean, his wife was a monster from the beginning?" Fang Xiwen's eyes widened.

Xu Xian, when did you come in?

"Yes. This kind of monster will transform into two heads in the Jindan stage. After eating so many people, it has accumulated enough. The owner should understand what she means." At this point, the always cold and aloof sword fairy showed some girlish demeanor and blinked her eyes, "This way, they will never be separated."

“…Then I underestimated the love between them.” After a moment of silence, Fang Xiwen smiled bitterly, feeling somewhat relieved.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, he could have saved the store owner, but the latter made his own choice. In addition, the monster was too strong, and he was indeed no match for it.

If you have done everything you can, there is no need to blame yourself.

He finally sat down on the ground, spread himself out on the hard earth, and let out a long breath.

After so much trouble, it is already the next day. The faint morning light shines from the east, spreading thinly in the misty fog, and the whole earth is slowly waking up.

Fang Xiwen was distracted, and the swordsman gathered his clothes and sat down next to him, hugged his knees, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

"It was just a little emotional. I was wondering what I would do if I lost my lover like he did."

"Got an answer?"

"Yeah. I should be much more paranoid than him. As long as I can see her again, or say a word to her again, I would be willing to pay any price, even if it goes against the will of heaven, even if I lose everything." He stretched out his hand and shook it.

"Really?" The sword immortal seemed a little happy for some reason, and his eyebrows slightly curved, but he forced them down.

"Ah, but being eaten alive is still too painful," Fang Xiwen added, "I guess I'll numb myself, so I'll take off all my clothes and sprinkle her favorite seasoning on it. Clothes might affect digestion."

"Ugh, so disgusting, who would eat you?" The sword immortal felt extremely nauseous at this moment, and all the emotion he had just felt was gone.

He doesn't understand women's hearts at all. How could he say such a depressing thing?

"Hey, so you are my beloved one?" Fang Xiwen turned around suddenly and looked at her with a half-smile, "I just said it casually, do you take it seriously?"

"!" The Sword Immortal's face instantly turned cold, and he said stiffly: "I just simply feel disgusted."

Before she finished her words, she rolled up her sleeves and disappeared.

Being phished is not a good thing!

On the way back to the inn, Fang Xiwen was still humming with pride. The sword fairy was still a "girl" after all, and this twisted relationship might be a natural attack for her.

Rather, it is precisely because of the experience of wind and rain that this incomparably sincere love seems precious?

But if you think about it carefully, the store owner will have a hard time in the future...A couple who share the same body, are they considered one person or two?

How do they have sex? Are they considered demons or humans?

How will they survive in the future? Where can they be accepted?

It gives me a headache just thinking about it. Fortunately, I don’t have a fairy girlfriend. Fang Xiwen was slightly relieved.

He met Luo Ting halfway, and the two walked back together.

In fact, the old man was still worried about him, but he was afraid that chasing too closely would scare the monster, so he followed slowly from behind.

"Brother Luo, I didn't catch up with them." Fang Xiwen no longer felt disappointed when he said this. Instead, he told Luo Ting what the sword fairy said in vivid detail.

As a result, the latter was not surprised at all, but just nodded with a smile, saying: "Since the snake is about to form a pill, there is no way you can catch up with it."

“…Although what you said is quite right, I still feel a little uncomfortable.”

The two returned to the inn, which had become a mess. From now on, there would be no more man-eating monsters here, and the rumors would probably fade away.

As for whether the scholar can suppress his desire to eat people with reason or be assimilated by the monster's instinct to eat, this is not something he can control. I just hope that the couple can have a good result.

"Brother Luo, we have collected the bodies of the bandits and buried them nearby." Seeing them, Wang Xiong stood up from the chair with a broken leg and said, "We also found this under the counter. It seems to be for Master Fang."

As he spoke, he handed over a piece of letter.

Seeing this, Fang Xiwen quickly reached out to take it, and after reading just a few lines, he breathed a sigh of satisfaction.

"What's wrong? You look like you're finally relieved?" Luo Ting led the horse over from outside and smiled at him.

"Love is so great. How does the saying go? Even if it doesn't happen to me, even if it has nothing to do with me, there should be such a pure feeling in this world." Fang Xiwen put away the note and smiled.

"You always come up with such sensible things, even though you're just a little brat."

"Just call me a kid, since you are praising me for my youth." Fang Xiwen stretched and went to help lead the horse. "The owner also gave me all the wine in the cellar. I will go down and fill it up."

"?" Hearing this, Luo Ting froze. He was puzzled, shocked, regretful, and finally beat his chest and stamped his feet.

There is no doubt that this kid will use these to honor some unknown boss.

After all, it was a gift from someone else, so Luo Ting naturally couldn't take it by force or demand a share of the wine, so he was a little defensive.

Old Deng doesn't have to do anything, he can just lie at home and drink a whole cellar of wine! Damn!

Fang Xiwen was completely unaware of this, and he put all the remaining ten jars of wine in the cellar into the mustard ring, and walked out happily. Even if he didn't know much about the goods, he could tell from the packaging that these things were very valuable.

Now I will be more confident about meeting my parents, haha, it's really a pleasant surprise.

The group set out from the almost ruined place and got back on the road.

"Brother Luo, is it always so dangerous when you escort the caravan?" Fang Xiwen asked casually while sitting in the carriage.

"No, it's the first time in my life." Luo Ting looked back on his horse and smiled, "The wine from his house is pretty good."

"It's good."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Chapter 149: A Clever Plan to Keep the World at Peace

On the way, Fang Xiwen described the whole story of encountering the monster in vivid detail, scaring the timid brothers so much that their faces turned pale.

Unlike Fang and Luo who drank, pretended to sleep and fought at the same time, they all slept like dead pigs that night. It’s scary to think about it.

“There really are monsters living right under our feet…” Little Li, who has always been timid, turned pale and couldn’t even enjoy his meal.

Wang Xiong, however, seemed very open-minded and laughed: "Although I am afraid too, but after all, with Boss Luo here, nothing will happen!"

"You can't say that. Most of the credit belongs to this kid," Luo Ting pointed at Fang Xiwen, "Maybe when you were talking to the owner, she was listening down there."

"So, that's why you're so cruel?" He had never considered this possibility. After thinking about it, he sighed and shook his head, saying, "I hope they can have a good outcome."

They chatted for a while, and suddenly a few bandits with sharp knives jumped out on the road. They looked at each other for a while and laughed. Compared with the monsters, these people were much more friendly.

"The king of heaven overshadows the tigers of earth."

"Pagoda suppresses the river demon."

After a few lip service, the bandits put away their knives with a giggle, took the silver coins handed over by Luo Ting, and came over to ask kindly if they needed help, saying that a piece of the mountain ahead had collapsed and they should be careful when crossing the road.

"Tsk tsk, it's all business." Fang Xiwen sighed.

Along the way, they encountered several groups of robbers, who looked like they were ready to fight each other with knives. However, Luo Ting went up to them, exchanged a few words, handed over some silver, and then the group became like brothers again.

Seeing this, Fang Xiwen felt relieved and turned to think about another thing. Luo Ting thought he was touched, so he gave the horse to the brothers in the team and got on the carriage himself.

"This world of martial arts is different from what you imagined?" Luo Ting took out a gourd and took a sip of wine.

"It's a little different indeed," Fang Xiwen smiled, his eyes sweeping over the bandits, "I think this is good. I don't have the mentality of a hero. If they harmed someone in front of me, I would definitely not ignore it;

But if they are quiet, I will not pursue or clarify their crimes... Firstly, I don’t have the ability, and secondly, this is something that the government should do.”

"Hahaha, awake!" Luo Ting breathed a sigh of relief, "I've met many chivalrous men and chivalrous women in the past. They were always doing good deeds and would pick up their swords and chop down bandits without thinking twice when they saw them.

In the end, people were killed, and the area became even more chaotic. The roads that were originally passable are now blocked... Who can the affected merchants turn to for justice?"

"It's too complicated and doesn't make sense." He shook his head.

As the journey progressed into the night, everyone gathered around a bonfire, drinking and chatting.

Seizing the opportunity, Luo Ting quickly teased Fang Xiwen and asked him to take out some of the wine sent by the owner for everyone to drink together.

The old man said: "If the person you want to send the wine to really loves wine, he will definitely be happy for the wine if he knows that you are sharing such good wine with your brothers."

"Look, not all of these jars are good wine. Some of them are not worthy of others. It would be great if we could drink them together."

Look, this is what a cunning person is.
