Zongwu: Eavesdropping on the inner voices, the female warriors have become strange

Huang Rong continued, "A man as cautious and fearless as Brother Chen Liu would never do anything he wasn't sure of, and would have let us escape long ago. Yet, he hasn't let us escape now, and is fighting Murong Bo instead. This shows that he's confident he can defeat him, or even kill him."

Upon hearing this, the girls nodded unconsciously again and felt relaxed.

At that moment, the restaurant at Mantuo Villa collapsed with a loud bang, tiles and wood fragments flying everywhere, some of which flew towards Huang Rong, Zhou Zhiruo and the other women. The women used their weapons to knock away the debris and looked towards the collapsed restaurant. They saw a black figure carrying something black, and then it turned into a flowing shadow, flashing and disappearing in a moment.

In the center of the restaurant stood several figures: Chen Liu, Wang Yuyan, and Lian Xing. There was also a person who seemed to be lying on the ground.

Chapter 272 Fortunately

Murong Bo is indeed a grandmaster. Even though he has been seriously injured and his power has been greatly reduced, as long as he wants to leave, Chen Liu and the others will not be able to keep him here.

This made Chen Liu a little depressed.

His Fourteen Deadly Swords, which could easily take the life of a master, could only make Murong Bo's injuries a little more serious and his clothes a little torn when he was caught off guard, but it was still a long way from killing Murong Bo.

Moreover, Murong Bo retreated very decisively. After discovering that Chen Liu had the capital to hurt him, he immediately retreated with all his strength, injured Ding Dian with one palm, grabbed Murong Fu, turned around and left without hesitation.

As for resolving the grudge with Wang Yuyan, he had to heal his wounds first. Before his wounds were fully healed and he had the strength to suppress or even kill Chen Liu and Wang Yuyan, he didn't want to look for Chen Liu and Wang Yuyan for the time being.

"Brother Ding, how are you?" Chen Liu hurried over to help Ding Dian up.

"Master, it's not easy to earn these two hundred taels of silver." Ding Dian coughed up another mouthful of blood.

Chen Liu smiled. If Ding Dian was still in the mood to joke, it proved he was fine. But then again, the Shenzhaojing was the most effective internal martial arts technique for healing injuries. Even his scapula had been pierced, and it hadn't had any effect on him. Ding Dian's injuries looked serious, but they weren't a big deal for him; he just needed a few more days of rest.

"How about I give you a raise?" Chen Liu said with a smile.

"I'm just kidding." Ding Dian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said with a smile, "Mantuo Villa has everything I need. If I need something, I won't even ask for it, and they'll send it to me. Even if you give me money, I have nowhere to spend it."

"Husband! Sister!"

"Brother Chenliu! Sister!"

Huang Rong, Mu Nianci, Shi Feixuan and other girls also walked through the debris of the collapsed restaurant and came to Chen Liu, Wang Yuyan and others.

"Are you okay?" Chen Liu turned around and asked.

"We're fine." Mu Nianci shook her head and stepped forward to check Chen Liu's body with concern, saying, "Is my husband injured?"

"I'm fine. Where are my mother-in-law, Azhu and Abi?"

"They're hiding now."

"It's okay now, go get them back."

When Azhu, Abi, Lin Shiyin, Yue Lingshan, Li Qingluo and other girls gathered together again, Chen Liu saw that no one was missing, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He was glad that no one was in trouble.

But he couldn't stay at Mantuo Villa any longer, at least not before Murong Bo was dealt with. It was a pity that Huang Rong had prepared such a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner, and he hadn't even taken a few bites.

Chen Liu had no idea Murong Bo was already considering reconciling his grudge with Wang Yuyan, but even if he had known, he wouldn't have trusted him. Murong Bo was an absolute profiteer, willing to do anything to restore his country. Furthermore, Murong Bo was an ambitious and scheming man, so even if he wanted to reconcile with Wang Yuyan, it was only for profit. This kind of person was like a venomous snake, ready to turn against you at any moment, so Chen Liu would never miss the opportunity to eliminate him.

However, if he wants to kill Murong Bo, he needs to improve his strength to the Grand Master level as soon as possible.

It seems this trip to the Great Sui Dynasty is urgent. I'm uneasy that Yuyan hasn't reached Grandmaster status yet. We suffered a bit of a loss this time when Murong Bo attacked us, but next time he comes, he'll definitely heal his wounds first. If we don't have a Grandmaster then, how can we resist?

Chen Liu glanced at Lian Xing and thought to himself, "Two would be best. That way we can be sure of taking down Murong Bo. Lian Xing should believe it, but she's the Palace Master of Yihua Palace after all, and she's so afraid of her sister. If her sister ever calls her back, she'll definitely not dare resist. Lian Xing isn't one of us, after all."

Lian Xing pursed her lips.

"Sister, it's not that I won't speak well of you, but Chen Liu has a very bad impression of you. You should do it yourself. As for me, I also need to consider myself."

Chen Liu never recognized her, and the reason was her sister. How could she make Chen Liu treat her as his own? Did she really have to take the initiative to serve him in the bedroom?

Lian Xing's face was slightly red.

But this is so embarrassing, and will Chen Liu think she is too frivolous?

"Murong Bo is gone?" Even though Murong Bo was gone, Li Qingluo was still a little afraid. It seemed that Murong Bo had left a bad impression on Li Qingluo before.

"Let's go." Wang Yuyan said.

"He won't come back, right?" Li Qingluo said.

Chen Liu thought for a moment and said, "It shouldn't happen in the short term, but we still have to be on guard. Mother-in-law, we can't stay in Mantuo Villa any longer. I'll send them to Peach Blossom Island tomorrow morning. What about you? Do you want to come with us?"

Chen Liu had originally thought it would be safe for Huang Rong and Mu Nianci to operate within the Song Dynasty, but now that Murong Bo and Murong Fu had returned to kill them, he was no longer careless. He was also afraid that Murong Bo and Murong Fu would be unable to deal with him and Wang Yuyan for the time being, and would capture Huang Rong, Mu Nianci, and the others to threaten him. What would he do then?

As for taking them to the Sui Dynasty, that was even more dangerous. If he took the "Eternal Life Secret" and the Evil Emperor's Relic, he would become the enemy of the entire Sui Dynasty. The entire Demon Sect and the Sui Dynasty martial artists who had their eyes on the "Eternal Life Secret" would definitely regard them as enemies.

After Murong Bo's assassination attempt, Huang Rong, Mu Nianci and the other girls could no longer object. They all knew that Chen Liu was doing this for their own good, so they could only obey his arrangements and return to Peach Blossom Island.

"I'll go with you." Li Qingluo said hurriedly.

Murong Bo was not dead, and he had even made it to Mantuo Villa. Although he was driven away by her daughter and son-in-law this time, they were leaving tomorrow, and she did not dare to stay in Mantuo Villa any longer.

Because of Murong Bo and Murong Fu's assassination, this year hadn't been a good one, but Chen Liu didn't mind it at all; he actually felt fortunate. If they hadn't returned to Mantuo Villa together for the New Year, even if they were fine, what about Li Qingluo? What about Ding Dian? What about Di Yun?

Speaking of Di Yun, he had returned with Ling Shuanghua and Qi Fang, though Di Yun felt somewhat ashamed. On weekdays, Mantuo Villa provided him with food and drink, and he didn't have to do anything. But when the enemy invaded, he realized he was completely useless and could offer no assistance at all.

Oh, it’s not that he can’t help with everything. At least he can help take care of the injured Ding Dian, but that’s not what he wants.

Ding Dian had been with Di Yun for so long that he naturally understood his character and could guess what Di Yun was thinking. Ding Dian gently patted the back of Di Yun's hand to show his comfort.

In fact, Ding Dian was also quite depressed. Although he participated in the battle, he was unable to defeat Murong Fu, who was injured by Chen Liu's chopsticks. In the end, he was injured by Murong Bo's palm, which made it seem that his offering was useless.

Chapter 273 Little Dragon Girl (Part )

Zhongnan Mountain. After Zhou Botong left Peach Blossom Island, he finally wandered back to Zhongnan Mountain.

However, Zhou Botong didn't return to the Quanzhen Sect. For a playful man like Zhou Botong, meeting the Quanzhen Sect's powerful Taoist priests wasn't as important as having fun. He also felt that the Quanzhen Taoists were too serious and uninteresting. If he hadn't remembered Chen Liu's story about the Ancient Tomb Sect's Little Dragon Girl's ability to raise and control bees, he would have long forgotten her and wouldn't have returned to Zhongnan Mountain.

As for why Zhou Botong only returned to Zhongnan Mountain now, it was because he had so much fun playing with sharks before.

Just like the original novel, when Zhou Botong left Peach Blossom Island, he chose to steal the luxurious boat Huang Yaoshi had taken with him to bury his deceased wife Feng Heng. Even when Huang Yaoshi tried to stop him, Zhou Botong ignored him, believing that Huang Yaoshi was reluctant to give him this seemingly best and most luxurious boat, and he insisted on stealing it, which angered Huang Yaoshi to death.

It's hard to persuade a damned ghost with kind words. Huang Yaoshi had already warned Zhou Botong that the flower boat would sink, but he still wanted to take it. What could he do? He couldn't beat him, so he could only let him go.

The flower boat Zhou Botong was riding on sank. After the flower boat sank into the sea, Zhou Botong encountered a shark that wanted to eat him, which saved him from drowning in the sea.

Zhou Botong rode the shark and played happily in the sea for several days until the shark was almost starving. He then went ashore in Lin'an Prefecture, released the shark, and then traveled all the way back to Zhongnan Mountain.

After finding the Tomb Sweep Sect, Zhou Botong did not alarm the people from the Tomb Sweep Sect, but secretly went to look for the jade bee raised by Xiaolongnu.

Chen Liu also understood Zhou Botong's personality. He was the type who would forget everything when he encountered something fun. If Chen Liu hadn't told Zhou Botong that Xiaolongnu had a very smart jade bee that could obey commands, Zhou Botong might not have returned to Zhongnan Mountain, but would have gone to find bees on his own to learn how to control them.

Actually, Zhou Botong had tried to find it, but he had never learned how to control bees, and he didn't know how to do it, so he couldn't control wild bees. Finally, in desperation, he remembered that Chen Liu said that Xiao Longnu's bees were very smart, so he thought of running back to steal Xiao Longnu's jade bees and trying.

The jade bees raised by Xiaolongnu are as white as jade and similar in size to common wild bees, but their venom is far more potent. Their stings can cause severe itching and loss of mobility. The venom of jade bees is chronic, requiring the use of the Tomb Clan's specially formulated jade bee syrup to detoxify.

Zhou Botong indeed found Xiaolongnu's jade bee in the woods near the Ancient Tomb Sect. He was overjoyed and quietly moved towards the jade beehive.

"Who is so bold as to steal my jade honey?" Zhou Botong was about to steal the jade bee when a girl's cry with a hint of anger was heard. The originally peaceful jade peak suddenly rioted, forming a sharp arrow formation and rushing towards Zhou Botong violently.

"Ah! Huhu! It hurts! It's itchy!" Zhou Botong never thought that the jade bees would riot. He was caught off guard and was stung more than ten times. He was so scared that he turned around and ran away, slapping the jade bees that stung him with his hands as he ran.

Although he was chased all over the ground by the jade bees and stung more than a dozen times, causing him pain and itchiness, Zhou Botong was not angry at all. Instead, he was extremely happy. Brother Chen had indeed not lied to him. Xiaolongnu could indeed command the bees to play.

"Are you Little Dragon Girl? I'm Old Urchin?" Zhou Botong scampered away, circling the gates of the Ancient Tomb Sect, dodging the jade bees while trying to get close to the girl in white, who looked only seventeen or eighteen. However, the jade bees, under her command, sometimes dispersed to intercept him, sometimes formed into coordinated formations to keep him away. Seeing this, Zhou Botong was instantly even happier.

"Old naughty boy?" The girl in white was a little surprised.

"Yeah!" Zhou Botong was a little proud.

"I don't know him!" said the girl in white.

"Gah!" Zhou Botong said awkwardly, "You don't know me?"

"Why should I know you?" asked the girl in white.

"Right! Why do you want to know me?" Zhou Botong thought it made sense. The Old Boy used his Qing Gong to turn a corner and escape the encirclement of the Jade Bees. He said, "I'm from the Quanzhen Sect, and Wang Chongyang is my senior brother."

"Are you a stinking Quanzhen Taoist priest?" The girl in white became even angrier when she heard that Zhou Botong was a stinking Quanzhen Taoist priest. Her master had told her that the stinking Quanzhen Taoist priests were all damned bastards, all evil people. If they dared to enter the territory of the Ancient Tomb Sect, they should be beaten mercilessly, as long as they could not be killed.

The girl in white whistled, and even more jade bees swarmed toward Zhou Botong like a riot, chasing him to a point where he had no way to escape. If Zhou Botong fought back, the jade bees would be powerless, but he couldn't bear to kill such a spiritual jade peak; he wanted to steal them all.

"I am from Quanzhen Sect, why do you still want to sting me?" The old naughty boy shouted while running away.

The girl in white said angrily, "The ones who stung me are you stinky Quanzhen Taoist priests."

"Why don't you go and sting the stinky Taoist priest from Quanzhen Sect instead of stinging me, okay?" said the Old Boy.

"Ah? You are not the stinky Taoist priest of Quanzhen Sect?" The girl in white was a little surprised.

"I am from the Quanzhen Sect, but I am not a stinking Taoist priest. I am a lay disciple."

"As long as you are from the Quanzhen Sect, I will sting you."

"Then can I quit Quanzhen Sect?"

Girl in white:...

Are you so spineless?

"I want you to be my teacher. Will you teach me your skills in commanding bees?"

Girl in white:...

"Yes, yes, I will teach you martial arts. I will teach you martial arts."

"I do not want."

"Well, it's not me who wants to teach you, someone asked me to teach you."

"Who?"

"My brother, can you please take the bees back first?"

"Who is your brother?"

"My brother's name is Chen Liu."

"Chen Liu? I don't know him."

"Whether you know it or not, please take the bee back first."

The girl in white thought for a moment and whistled again, and the jade bees chasing Zhou Botong retreated obediently. However, the jade bees did not return to the hive, but instead surrounded the girl in white. If Zhou Botong dared to make any rash moves, they would attack him again.

The old naughty boy was stung over twenty times, including several on his face and head, leaving him with several large lumps. Zhou Botong, with his face bruised and swollen and extremely itchy, was envious of the girl in white who could make the bees obey him and form a formation. He thought it would be so much fun if he could learn this skill.

The young woman in white could see that this unkempt, somewhat disheveled Old Boy's martial arts skills were unparalleled, and she couldn't handle him, even with her Jade Bee. Furthermore, he seemed to harbor no ill will towards her. Of course, the Old Boy seemed to treat her Jade Peak even better, and except for the Jade Bees that stung him, he was reluctant to kill any of them.
