Chapter 380: Alliance Head, Please Save Me!
Ning Shu really didn’t want to stay with Yan Nanzhu because he wanted her to go to Xiangguo Temple and she had no idea where that was. After walking for several days, she couldn’t walk anymore because she had blisters all over her feet.
She suspected Yan Nanzhu of purposefully torturing her because he disliked her.
“Why didn’t we get a carriage?” asked Ning Shu as she gasped for breath.
Yan Nanzhu expressionlessly wiped away some of the sweat on his face. “I rushed out and forgot to bring money. Furthermore, we headed out to annihilate the Demonic Cult, what would we bring money for?”
Ning Shu: “Why don’t we do some performances to earn a bit of money? We can act as a pair of siblings that ran out of money while traveling to visit relatives. You can perform broadsword techniques. If you make it flashy, we might be able to gain some travel expenses.”
Yan Nanzhu replied with an imposing, resolute expression, “Martial arts is used for protecting the stability of the martial arts community, not for things like this. I’m the alliance head, I can’t do things to lower the reputation of the martial arts community.”
Ning Shu: …
He was so honorable that he was completely inflexible, seriously!
“And this way, you also experience the life of an ordinary person and get to know how difficult life is for an ordinary person. People of your Demonic Cult kills people without blinking an eye although ordinary people are innocent of crimes.” Yan Nanzhu looked at Ning Shu. “Your nature isn’t bad, why did you choose to become the holy maiden of the Demonic Cult and help the side of evil?”
Ning Shu: …
Scram. I don’t want to talk to you.
By the time Ning Shu got to the foot of the mountain that Xiangguo Temple was on, she was already leaning on a crutch and her shoes were so worn out that three of her toes were poking through. Her face was covered with a layer of dirt and she looked completely wretched.
Ning Shu was feeling very bitter. This was the result of not having combat strength. If she had martial arts, she would’ve just duked it out with Yan Nanzhu, then left leisurely. She wouldn’t have had to suffer such a long journey with him to get to Xiangguo Temple.
“Did Gong Wumei tell you where he wanted to meet up with you?” asked Yan Nanzhu. He was currently also in a very wretched condition. His blue martial arts attire was covered with mud and his shoes were so dirty that the original color couldn’t be made out. His hair was also so dirty that all the strands were sticking together.
Ning Shu said mildly, “Gong Wumei didn’t say anything about where we’re meeting up. Could it be that we’re just going to wait in Xiangguo Temple?”
Yan Nanzhu nodded, then asked Ning Shu, “If Gong Wumei comes, are you going to leave with Gong Wumei and continue helping him in commiting crimes?”
Ning Shu immediately raised a hand and swore, “I swear that I’ll never help Gong Wumei commit crimes and that I’ll never return to the Demonic Cult, otherwise I’ll die a painful death. Alliance Head, will this do?”
Ning Shu had already repeated this vow countless times on the way here.
They got a room in Xiangguo Temple, so Ning Shu took a long bath and got out a needle to pop the blisters on her feet. The door was suddenly kicked open, causing Ning Shu’s hand to shake and stab into her flesh.
What the fuck? Ning Shu looked over angrily only to see that Gong Wumei was standing at the door, his aura a chaotic mess. His lips were purplish and his eyes were bloodshot as if they were about to split.
“Wretch! You actually dared to poison me!” Gong Wumei’s voice was shockingly cold.
“Alliance Head, please save me!” screamed Ning Shu. She never thought that Gong Wumei would actually be in Xiangguo Temple. However, she had poisoned Gong Wumei earlier when he was choking her, so it made sense for him to be waiting for her here now that the poison was kicking in. She really had walked right into the trap.
“Give me the antidote or I’ll kill you.” Gong Wumei strode in and reached out to clutch her neck.
Yan Nanzhu who had just finished bathing rushed over with water dripping off the ends of his hair. When he saw Gong Wumei, they immediately started fighting. Ning Shu stooped over in preparation to sneak away. You guys can fight, one dead is one less.
“Wretch! Stop right there!” Gong Wumei saw that Ning Shu was trying to run and tried to head over while dodging Yan Nanzhu’s attacks.
Ning Shu didn’t even glance back as she ran.
