Chapter 198: Created a Big Trouble

Shui Lingluo noticed the appearance of Lou Yun and the other three at this moment. The anger on her face was instantly replaced by grievance. Without her making any visible movement, the water current beneath her feet automatically lifted her body levelly, passed through the large hole in the ground, and brought her before the three people.

Looking at Lou Yun, Shui Lingluo blushed. She opened her mouth as if to say something, but lowered her head and did not speak.

Lou Yun, however, wanted to understand the course of events. Especially since the two people in the water balls below were clearly about to drown. Frankly, Lou Yun did not want Shui Lingluo to bear the burden of taking human lives on her hands; after all, killing people was not a joyful matter!

"Miss Shui, what exactly happened? Who are they?"

Under Lou Yun’s questioning, Shui Lingluo finally couldn’t help but let out low sobbing sounds. Still, she recounted the events intermittently.

Actually, what happened to her was simple: she had come in to look at accessories. As a result, a clerk, one of the men below who was wrapped in a water ball, immediately led Shui Lingluo through the small door, claiming that inside were some newly arrived accessories perfectly suited for her. Shui Lingluo, having probably never traveled far from home before, had no experience in combat, let alone social experience, so she had no idea it was a trap and thus followed him in.

After entering, after a few turns, she reached the basement below. Although Shui Lingluo felt somewhat suspicious then, she recalled that Lou Yun and the others were right outside the shop, so she thought nothing bad would happen and walked straight in.

As soon as she entered, a strange fragrance hit her nose. Before she could understand what was happening, she felt dizzy and collapsed to the ground.

Then, she didn’t know how much time had passed, but it was actually very soon, when Shui Lingluo woke up. Upon opening her eyes, she saw an ugly face puckering its lips as if to kiss her cheek!

Startled, Shui Lingluo herself didn’t know why it happened, but suddenly, countless streams of water burst from her whole body, converging into a huge water column. It forcibly blasted the two men before her, sending them flying directly out and breaking through the roof.

However, by now, Shui Lingluo had regained her senses. She didn’t want to let these two men off easily. So with a thought, two water currents rushed to them, wrapped them tightly like dumplings, even restrained their limbs, and just as Lou Yun had guessed, completely emptied the spiritual energy in the water.

After doing this, before Shui Lingluo could take the next step, Lou Yun arrived. In front of Lou Yun, Shui Lingluo’s anger was instantly swamped by grievance, so she just ran crying to him.

After listening, Lou Yun breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Shui Lingluo was fine, that was the greatest blessing.

Looking at the two men who were clearly nearing the end of their endurance, Lou Yun said to Shui Lingluo, "First, release those two. I still need to question them!"

Shui Lingluo obeyed Lou Yun’s words completely. With a wave of her hand, the two water balls automatically split open at the center. The two men rolled out, said nothing, kept their previous postures, and took deep, forceful gasps of the fresh air outside. They had almost become magical weapons masters suffocated to death!

After a long while, the two men finally recovered their breath. They lifted their heads and met Lou Yun’s icy look directly.

"What exactly is going on here? If you can’t give me a reasonable explanation, you won’t live to see another day!"

Just then, many people outside had been awakened by the sounds inside and were crowding forward to see what was happening. But when Tie Sha, with his solid, iron tower-like body, stood guard there, no one dared come closer. They could only watch from afar to see what had occurred.

After exchanging a glance, the two clerks clearly realized those before them were too powerful to oppose. So they both knelt with a "thud" and banged their heads frantically on the ground, saying, "We dare not anymore, we dare not anymore!"

"I asked you what exactly this is about!"

"Yes, yes, we will tell!"

From their joint account, everyone finally understood the whole story.

It turned out these two were just clerks of this shop. The shop seemed like a simple accessory shop, but inside, it actually had a hidden world.

The shop owner was a man of some notoriety, whose only hobby in life was lust. But since he couldn’t openly abduct women, he opened this shop and ordered his clerks to lure any young, beautiful, solitary females with low cultivation levels through the small door into the basement. The basement door was rigged; once opened, narcotic incense sprayed out instantly, making people faint.

After she was drugged, the clerk would notify the shop owner. The owner would naturally come to do his vile deeds. Once his desires were met, these women were either sent by him to various island nations in the sea or thrown straight into the ocean to feed the fish.

Today, this clerk just had bad luck. He was a mid-level magical weapons master. Using his spiritual perception, he couldn’t detect Shui Lingluo’s cultivation level, but her beauty was unmatched. So he instantly took the initiative to deceive her into the basement and called his other companion after seeing her faint.

Because the shop owner wasn’t around today, these two clerks, blinded by lust, decided to taste the treat themselves first. Yet they never imagined Shui Lingluo would wake up so quickly and be such a powerful expert. They didn’t get a taste at all and almost lost their own lives!

After hearing their story, Lou Yun’s brows nearly knit together. He truly hadn’t expected such vile people to exist—seducing women for their lust and then killing them afterward!

Such a person absolutely must not be allowed to remain in the world!

Thinking of this, Lou Yun coldly asked, "Where is your shop owner?"

"Yesterday, the shop owner went out on business and hasn’t returned yet. But he never leaves the shop for more than three days, so he should be back tomorrow!"

By this point, these two clerks cared about nothing else but saving their lives. They didn’t care if the owner lived or died; after today, they wouldn’t work here anyway. So they spilled the entire truth without holding back.

Lou Yun pondered briefly, then turned to Wen Hou and said, "Someone like this must be eliminated early. Since we originally planned to rest here, let’s head out soon to find an inn. First, you and Tie Sha can rest properly. Second, we can ask about trips to Biko Island and going out to sea. Then, after I dispose of this scumbag tomorrow, we’ll plan our next moves!"

Wen Hou chuckled and said, "Good, let’s do it. But before leaving, I’ll give them a lesson. Although they’re just assistants and we can spare their lives, they must face painful punishment!"

As soon as he spoke, they saw Wen Hou smile as he raised both hands, bent his middle fingers and thumbs together, then flicked them lightly. Two shining objects shot out like swords and penetrated into the dantians of the two men opposite him.

The two men let out terrible screams simultaneously, clutched their stomachs, and collapsed to the ground. While screaming, a gleaming substance shot from each of their mouths, flew to Wen Hou’s body, and vanished.

After finishing this, Wen Hou said with a smile, "Alright, let’s leave now!"

By this time, inside these two clerks, their magical weapons were shattered into fragments. And their entire throats were slashed with bloody cuts—this was only thanks to Wen Hou controlling his force precisely to leave them alive. But from now on, living this way was worse than death!

These clerks had surely done many shameful deeds for their master, so this punishment was exactly what they deserved!

After looking at the clerks rolling and wailing like dying dogs on the ground, and then glancing at Wen Hou, who had already turned and strode away with Tie Sha, Lou Yun couldn’t help but give a thumbs-up sign!

Don’t be fooled by Wen Hou’s delicate, gentle looks and perpetual smile. When it came to ruthlessness and cruelty, even Tie Sha probably couldn’t match him!

Lou Yun also turned to leave, taking Shui Lingluo along. The onlookers in the distance instinctively cleared a path for the four to pass through.

Tie Sha and Wen Hou walked out cautiously. Just as Lou Yun and Shui Lingluo began to follow, their ears caught a faint mosquito-like whisper: "Young man, you have created big trouble. Take your companions and flee immediately. And go by land, definitely not by sea!"
