Chapter 320: Qi Yuan Works Hard, but the Cultivation Method Doesn’t Cooperate
"What are you standing there for? Quickly bury my beloved 'white moonlights'!"
Seeing that the two people weren't moving, Qi Yuan thought they were trying to slack off, so he reminded them again.
An Qiao spoke up with difficulty, "These... demons... you killed them?"
The man in black martial attire also looked at Qi Yuan, his expression full of shock.
"Of course. Stop slacking and bury them!" Qi Yuan said calmly.
"This is..." An Qiao looked at the corpses on the ground, her heart filled with a shock beyond words.
She simply couldn't understand. Wasn't Qi Yuan just a newbie?
How did he manage to clear this place out completely?
She had originally wanted to say something, but the man in black martial attire gave her a look, and she didn't dare to speak further.
It was clear that this Qi Yuan was not ordinary and was actually a killing machine.
What if he decided to kill them too?
So, they followed Qi Yuan's orders and burned the bodies of these demons and buried them.
Qi Yuan stood by, directing them like a well-oiled commander.
"Who was that madman earlier?" Qi Yuan asked.
He was quite curious about that lunatic at the Jade Blood Realm.
"We don't know," An Qiao shook her head. "We saw him when we were investigating the Chen family. We suspect he might be related to the massacre of the Chen family, so we followed him. But his strength is formidable. He is a Jade Blood Realm cultivator, so we didn't dare to follow too closely. Otherwise, if the mission wasn't completed and we died here, it would be terrible."
"Related to the mission?" Hearing this, Qi Yuan was a bit silent. "Sigh, it's been so long, and we still have no leads. This mission is too difficult; I don't want to do it anymore. I feel like cheating."
Qi Yuan had worked hard for most of the day and only learned about the Spirit Blood Child.
As for the massacre of the Luo and Chen families, there were no clues.
Sure enough, this detective and mystery-solving game was not for him.
He was more suited to playing hack-and-slash games where the final boss is marked out, like Kun Lao Da. It would be much simpler for him to just go over and beat the boss.
Qi Yuan was somewhat disheartened about completing the game’s mission.
"What happens if I don't complete the mission?" He asked.
"There won't be any rewards," An Qiao answered.
"Huh? No punishment? Does that mean I don't have to complete the mission?" Qi Yuan was quite happy.
If that were the case, he could set his own mission—to defeat Kun Lao Da.
"If you don't complete the mission, you can't go back. If you stay in these mission worlds for too long, our Blood Qi will be contaminated, and eventually, we will... go mad and die," An Qiao said with a serious expression.
There was a time when one of her companions fell in love with a scholar and refused to leave, wanting to stay with him forever.
So, that companion did not actively participate in the mission.
In the end, she went mad and died.
That incident left a deep impression on An Qiao.
"What kind of ridiculous setting is that?" Qi Yuan shrugged.
It seemed his plan to avoid completing the mission was doomed from the start.
"Do you have any new leads now?" Qi Yuan asked.
"No, maybe that lunatic knows something," An Qiao answered truthfully.
When they saw the lunatic, he was crying bitterly in front of the Chen family home. Perhaps he knew something.
But that lunatic was too powerful, a cultivator at the Jade Blood Realm.
They didn't dare get too close.
Otherwise, if they couldn't complete the mission and died here, it would be terrible.
Qi Yuan then asked, "Who has the most information in Yunyan County?"
"The leader of the aquatic demons, Kun Lao Da," An Qiao said, her eyes showing fear.
Kun Lao Da was a great demon at the Jade Blood Realm.
The four members of their Demon Subjugation Division on this mission would have a hard time surviving against Kun Lao Da.
So, even if they found clues related to the aquatic demons, they didn't dare approach Kun Lao Da so quickly. Instead, they started from other angles.
"Where is Kun Lao Da?" Qi Yuan asked.
At the previous white moonlight reunion, he had endured a lot and suffered a lot of humiliation, but he didn’t manage to get Kun Lao Da's location from Elder Huang.
This made him quite sad.
"We don't know," An Qiao shook her head. Remembering something, she warned him, "Kun Lao Da is a great demon at the Jade Blood Realm. You need to be careful. I've heard that this demon hates humans the most. If someone enters its territory, they'll be devoured alive!"
"Oh, such an evil demon must be the big boss. I'm now suspicious that Kun Lao Da is behind the Luo and Chen family massacres!" Qi Yuan said seriously.
An Qiao: "..."
The man in black martial attire awkwardly smiled, "If it's him, then this will be tough."
He wanted to say, maybe don't be so casual. Without any evidence, you're already convicting the demon.
"It's a pity there’s no internet here. Otherwise, I’d write a long essay about him," Qi Yuan sighed.
The power of a long essay is immense.
When he destroyed the Light Palace, the long essay played a crucial role.
"Alright, I’m going to play the game. See you later."
After saying that, Qi Yuan's figure vanished.
In Yunyan County, there were three main factions: the weasel demons, the snake demons, and the aquatic demons.
The weasels were already wiped out.
Kun Lao Da from the aquatic demons was still missing.
Now, Qi Yuan naturally went to find the snakes.
There was a screenwriter who used this to write scripts quickly.
"Time to go home and sleep." Qi Yuan looked at the slightly bright sky.
After a whole day of hard work, it was time for a good sleep.
...
Qi Yuan was awakened by a child’s noise.
When he woke up, the sun was shining brightly.
Estimating the time, it was about three in the afternoon.
"It's early in the morning. Why are you knocking on my door?"
Qi Yuan looked at the boy outside, his tone not very good.
He had just had a beautiful dream where he won a big lottery, ten trillion yuan, finally bought Ganxing, and became the winner of life.
He was just about to go to Wuyun Pavilion and tell that secretary from before that Canxing was all his.
Then he was woken up.
He was a bit irritated.
However, he was generous and always broad-minded, not holding grudges.
So, he didn't chop up the kid.
"Are you... Qi Er?" The boy’s face was sallow, looking somewhat malnourished.
"Hmm? What’s going on?" Qi Yuan thought, wondering if he had triggered a hidden storyline.
It turned out that sleeping could trigger hidden storylines.
"Sister Xiaomei asked me to find you!" The boy said nervously, "Last night, Xiaomei came to our village and stayed at my house. But in the middle of the night, villagers from the neighboring village took her away."
"Oh, someone fancies her?" Qi Yuan remained calm.
"It’s the sea god who fancies her. The villagers of Haishi Village want to marry her to the sea god!" The boy said nervously.
Marrying the sea god was not a good thing.
Haishi Village had always worshipped the sea god and would capture young women, dress them in red wedding clothes, and offer them as sacrifices to the sea god.
By doing this, the sea god would supposedly bless them with abundant fish and calm seas.
When Qi Yuan heard this, he looked surprised, "Xiaomei is really a naturally easy-to-marry type."
He hadn’t been in this game for long, and Xiaomei was about to be married twice.
No one else could compare.
The game setting was quite interesting; it would set up some comedic characters.
In Qi Yuan's view, Xiaomei was just such a comedic character.
"The sea god... is it a demon?" Qi Yuan asked what he was concerned about.
Right now, he was severely lacking in demon blood essence.
But other than the aquatic demon Kun Lao Da, he had already killed most of the other demons.
Kun Lao Da's whereabouts were unknown, but now a sea god had appeared here.
Qi Yuan was suddenly motivated.
"Take me there. I’ll go and reason with that sea god and tell him not to marry Xiaomei, but to marry me instead!" Qi Yuan said brazenly.
The boy was dumbfounded, looking at Qi Yuan with a face full of horror.
...
A few hours later, Qi Yuan, guided by the boy and his older brother, arrived at Haishi Village.
The boy pointed to the village ahead, his face filled with fear, "That’s Haishi Village up ahead. We don’t dare to go in."
Ever since the people of Haishi Village started worshipping the sea god, they had earned a notorious reputation.
They caught more fish and earned more money, and even colluded with officials.
Whenever the harvest was poor, they would marry the sea god.
Where would they find young women to marry?
The village didn’t have enough to go around.
So, they targeted other villages.
The boy's village, Muke Village, had clashed with Haishi Village over this issue.
But Haishi Village had the support of officials, so Muke Village lost that fight.
So, the boy was terrified of Haishi Village.
"The main road is so wide, but there’s no one passing by. It seems Haishi Village... really has a bad reputation."
Qi Yuan simply commented.
To get to Yunyan County, one had to take the main road, which passed through Haishi Village.
On the way here, Qi Yuan saw many carriages and merchants on the main road.
But near Haishi Village, there were none.
Clearly, those merchants would rather take a detour than go through Haishi Village.
As Qi Yuan approached the entrance of Haishi Village, two men with hostile expressions looked at him suspiciously.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?"
Qi Yuan smiled kindly, "I am Qi Yuan, and I'm about to get married. This is my first... oh no, my second marriage. I lack experience. I heard that the sea god here is getting married, so I came to watch the ceremony and learn some tips."
The two men gave him strange looks.
If he just wanted to observe the ceremony, that was one thing, but learning from it?
However, their eyes flashed with a hint of a smile, becoming more enthusiastic, "Since you’re here to observe, please come in."
Their eyes seemed to carry a hint of mockery and sympathy.
