Chapter 491: This Is Not the Car to XX!

When the armored flying zombie died, the act of killing a chicken to scare the monkeys proved effective.

Even though White Song took away the person’s head, the woman who made a precise sneak attack didn’t say any trash talk.

Pansilk Cave Lord is pulling the car ahead, as if it has a powerful engine like a big motorcycle and Wuling Hongguang.

With such a big monster clearing the way, the other Yin Mountains also fell into silence, pretending nothing had happened.

Hujia Grave is the first challenge that has been overcome.

Half an hour ago, it was thought to be a life-or-death challenge, but it turned out to be too easy, which made it feel light and floating.

Bai Wei also pretended clumsiness and his attention was focused on the woman nearby. She was considered beautiful, but it was hard to tell her age.

Murong Nu, ranked fourth on the blacklist.

It is said that she is a half-elf, born and raised in the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom. Her origins are not too mysterious, but there are rumors that she has been to the Great Wilderness and inherited the ancient god’s power.

Mu Rong’s intentions were very clear.

– To earn money.

"There’s nothing in the world that money can’t buy. If you can’t buy it, it means you just didn’t give enough."

"How much are you willing to pay?" Bai Wei asked curiously.

"It depends. Usually, for killing someone, the starting price is one thousand gold."

"But this time, I’m not asking you to kill anyone."

"That’s why the price for protection is higher," Mu Rong said.

Bai Wei knocked on the carriage, "Can Little Green afford it?"

"After the country’s restoration, Nalan Qingshu could afford it." Where did Nalan Qingshu get so much money, even if she had some, it would not be possible to waste it on hiring bodyguards, recruiting soldiers, flipping allies, provisions, and military pay. They all require shiny silver and golden coins. Longyao City cannot have such high income. Economic problems are a matter of life and death for a country, so it’s impossible to just give away money; we can only make empty promises.

But isn’t she afraid that Muren will get angry when she says this to her face?

But Muren doesn’t mind, "Doing business with her is just a minor part, the real business is with Princess Bai Ze."

The car door opened, and Chao Lu sat down within five steps, "Are you referring to the reward for keeping me alive?"

"Yes."

"What does the reward entail?" Chao Lu asked. "It’s easy to buy my death, but it’s much harder to buy my life."

"The reward I received is calculated based on time," Muren said. "Seven days."

"Only seven days left…"

"No, in reality, there are only four days left," Muren said lightly. "Starting from the day I left, three days have already passed."

"But you weren’t here for these three days, right?" Nalan said discontentedly. "Who takes three days off in a week of seven days?"

"Whether I’m here or not doesn’t matter, I’ll show up when needed," Murong Nu said, without looking away. "I always keep a distance and make sure to arrive when necessary. If it’s not essential, I won’t appear, so you won’t have to deal with unnecessary troubles because of me."

Chao Lu asked, pretending not to know better, "Don’t you want to have more than just one fish?"

Buy it live, earn some money, kill it after the employment ends, earn some more money, having more than one fish to eat.

Murong Nu looked at Chao Lu with respect and smiled. "You’re more astute than this Bi Fang. I can tell you’ve faced many hardships on the way."

Nalan Qingshu’s face tightened. Her life experience was limited, but she couldn’t easily accept being hurt in front of everyone.

"The reward for capturing someone alive is even greater," Murong Nu said calmly. "I can directly receive a quarter of the bounty. There’s no need to start unnecessary conflicts and fight Mr. Bai for thousands of miles."

Bai Wei shrugged it off with a smile.

You don’t even need to go a thousand miles. If you can take a hundred steps away from here, I’ll kill myself right on the spot.

Chao Lu frowned unhappily, saying, "It sounds like you’re afraid of my house’s young master."

Nalan Qingshu stared… Why are you intentionally provoking her?

Murong Nu remained calm and composed, unexpectedly having a good temper unlike the explosive nature of the monsters. She lightly questioned, "If it meant you could earn more money, would you do it?"

"It depends on if I need money and if the business is profitable," Chao Lu replied without giving anything away, "We must adapt to the situation."

Murong supported his forehead and laughed heartily, "Human hearts change easily, the monsters aren’t any better."

She glanced at Chao Lu and said, "At least for now, this business seems profitable. But if we burn bridges after crossing the river, then it won’t be worth it."

Princess Bai Ze nodded slightly, "I understand, it’s just business."

"Just business," Murong Nu leaned against the carriage and pulled out a red rope with a brown gourd at her waist. She tilted her head back, took a sip of wine, and exhaled contentedly, "Once the business is done, everything will become clear."

"Do you think the future is without worries?"

"At least within four days, you won’t fall into danger," Murong squinted his eyes.

"Do you understand the situation in the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom?" Bai Wei asked.

"People in the martial world are even more sensitive than you think. It’s clear where there will be battles and casualties," Murong Nu swayed her wine gourd, looking ahead at the starry sky. "I can guess where you’re going on this trip."

Chao Lu said, "Tell us."

"One is the Imperial Court, the other is Xiangyang City," Murong Nu said calmly. "No matter which one, you won’t be able to reach either within four days."

"That depends on how well the horses can pull the carriage," Bai Wei held the reins.

"Okay!" Pansilk Cave Lord shouted, "I’m already speeding up! Charge ahead! No one can catch up with my thoughts-need!"

Murong Nu said, "I think running too fast isn’t a good idea. How about lightening your burden? Shall I remove your two legs?"

Pansilk Cave Lord was taken aback, looking as surprised as a sweating soybean. "Um, but I might feel a bit lethargic after I accelerate…"

Bai Wei pulled on the reins, which were tied to the spirit of a big spider. "Think carefully before you speak," he said.

Pansilk Cave Lord wanted to cry, but there were no tears. It shouldn’t have started a conversation like that.

Murong Nu continued, "Liu State has been chaotic for too long. It’s good that it can be restored. Actually, I bought a few houses in Liu State before, and I had some love affairs there. After the city collapsed, I went there a few times, only to see bones everywhere."

Bai Wei sighed, "The years are cold, the famine is great, and everyone is eating each other."

He glanced at Nalan Qingshu, "It seems that the revival of Bi Fang’s country is no longer a secret. Little Green’s pepper heart, everyone knows about it, right?"

"It’s not hard to guess," Murong Nu sipped her wine.

"Have you considered joining the army?"

"The martial world is much freer than the court."

"Once the court becomes strong, the martial world will be tamed."

"By then, I might have already gone far away." Murong Nu didn’t agree, "I’m not interested in politics. But you, being a noble warrior of the Ming Country, why would you get involved in the internal conflicts of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom? Instead, you should return home and enjoy the treatment of a grandmaster, have many wives, and start a family. Why come here and make things dull? Even if you want to marry a fairy, don’t choose those few princesses from a fallen kingdom."

Bai Wei choked.

Why does everyone talk like this? Monks talk like this, and even Murong talks like this.

"What do you mean by ‘those few’?" Nalan Qingshu, who claimed to be the main wife, asked loudly, "Did those princesses from the fallen kingdom steal your rice?"

Chao Lu also retorted unhappily, "Yeah, I haven’t fallen yet!"

Little Green was taken aback and glared at Bai Ze… "You still want to hurt me now?"

Murong Nu shook her head and sighed, "The Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom is such a mess, decent people wouldn’t want to get involved."

"I never said I’m a decent person," Bai Wei said, sitting up straight, "And I can leave at any time, I have an exit strategy."

"Listen, this man’s words are cold-hearted. You both have to work hard, don’t be abandoned," Murong turned her head and said to the two princesses.

Nalan Qingshu hummed and said, "He never liked me, I know. He likes big girls."

"I think it doesn’t matter if she is big or small," said the little snake girl softly. "I have read the laws of the Ming Country."

Chao Lu rested her chin on her hands, deep in thought, but she wasn’t thinking about what Murong Nu said.

Bai Wei shook his head helplessly. This person is so two-faced, trying to drive a wedge between us. "You’re unexpectedly lively," he said.

"I’m young, why can’t I be lively? It’s not like I’m a mayfly who dies the next day," murmured Murong as she poured a drink on her foot. "Of course, I can also pretend to be a master, not speaking for four days, and call it a practice of silence."

Bai Wei understood. "So you’ve met the big monk before."

"I’ve fought him," Murong said, mentioning Yuan Zhen with a hint of surprise. "He’s a muscle-powered monk… he fights well, but not better than me… The first time we met, he said I was a demon and wanted to destroy me; the second time we met, he said I was a monster and wanted to destroy me; the third time we met, I smashed a Buddhist scripture in his face, and recited a few lines. Then he said I had already learned on my own and could even snatch answers, so he let me pass."

Bai Wei almost couldn’t hold back. "The monk wasn’t wrong, you are a demon, he reminded me that I need to be on guard against you."

"That monk is really unreasonable. I even treated him to a meal, and besides, who in this group isn’t a demon? No one is clean," Murong Nu mocked. "Can a clean person live well here?"

Bai Wei said, "This is a problem with the world, not with people."

Murong didn’t argue, he just took a sip of his drink and said, "The world is cold and heartless, just like drinking water, one knows their own warm and cold…"

She casually looked up and saw the moon, suddenly feeling that the moon seemed a little strange, as if it hadn’t moved for a long time. She raised her hand and waved it gently.

Something transparent was pierced, and moonlight spilled down.

Only then did she notice that the moon had shifted to the left. Her face changed suddenly, and she stood up abruptly, her eyes reflecting a faint purple in the moonlight.

"This isn’t the way to Xiangyang City!"

Bai Wei calmly replied, "Didn’t you already guess?"

Murong Nu said in a low voice, "Qingyang City?"

Bai Wei spoke politely, "The car door is welded shut. It would be too late to try to jump off now."
