Wrongly practicing evil skills, imitating the laws of nature

Duan Yun hurried along, his horse panting heavily, finally returning to Yunzhou territory.

He passed a restaurant, asked the waiter to take the horse to graze, and ordered three dishes and a soup for himself.

After finishing his meal, he decided to continue his journey.

But as he mounted his horse, he suddenly felt a numbness in his butt.

Duan Yun turned his head and found a large, blood-red centipede biting his butt.

"Damn it!"

With a snap, sword qi erupted from his body, instantly killing the centipede.

Duan Yun sat there, his brow slightly raised.

This centipede was quite venomous; he could feel the fiery poison spreading through his body.

But as fast as the poison was, Duan Yun's true qi was even faster.

With a whoosh, true qi combined with sword qi shot out, carrying the poisonous blood away.

Duan Yun's finger flashed with electricity, touching the bite wound; in an instant, the bleeding stopped, the wound scabbed over, whitened, and became as good as new.

After mastering the electromagnetic sword field, Duan Yun became increasingly adept at using electricity to heal injuries.

He was sure he could now improve the Murong brothers' whitening by another two levels.

Duan Yun instantly completed the expulsion of poison, healing of the wound, and killing of the poisonous centipede.

It could be said that this centipede, which could easily kill an ordinary person, was no different from a mosquito bite to him.

In a way, being able to expel poison instantly made him virtually immune to all poisons.

Duan Yun looked at the centipede's mangled corpse and surveyed his surroundings.

Yunzhou had many poisonous insects; this incident seemed like an accident, but he felt something was amiss.

Mainly because he was bitten as soon as he mounted his horse, proving the centipede had been near the saddle all along.

This horse was usually alert; it was impossible for a centipede to crawl from its body onto the saddle without it reacting.

Could someone have placed it on the saddle, or was this a trained centipede that deceived the horse and flew directly onto the saddle?

Unfortunately, the centipede was too small, and his boundless heroic qi hadn't reached the level where he could resonate with such poisonous creatures.

Otherwise, he could have given the centipede a few shivers to see if it was an accident or something else.

Having no clue about the matter, Duan Yun continued on his way.

Yes, even if someone wanted to harm him, this method was far too weak.

Three days later, Duan Yun arrived at Jade Stone Town.

Looking at this familiar town, he couldn't help but feel a sense of warmth.

Arriving here, Duan Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Familiar places always made people relax.

It could only be said that traveling in ancient times was too difficult; long journeys were measured in months, which he found somewhat unaccustomed to.

Duan Yun didn't rush back to Jade Pearl Manor; instead, he went to Old Chen's braised food shop for a bowl of braised noodles with two braised chicken legs, and in the middle, he ordered a plate of crispy pork belly.

After all, he had been traveling day and night for the past few days, eating in the wind and sleeping in the dew.

A hero had to eat too.

After finishing everything, Duan Yun felt like he had truly returned.

Afterward, he jumped on his horse and headed towards Jade Pearl Manor.

The weather was gloomy today; although it was only afternoon, it felt like night was approaching.

By the lake, several fishermen were bundled up tightly, holding their ground.

Duan Yun went up the hillside.

At this time of year, the trees were bare and the grass was withered, but when he saw the dilapidated manor in the mountains, Duan Yun felt warmth.

Yes, the withered grass on the ground seemed like gold, and the broken stone slabs seemed like white jade, all welcoming his return.

Knock, knock, knock!

Duan Yun dismounted and knocked on the manor gate with a relaxed expression.

Before long, the gate creaked open.

Opening the door was the panda, Dabai.

Seeing Duan Yun, Dabai immediately gave him a joyful bear hug, making happy dog-like noises.

Afterward, he followed Dabai inside, his mood also becoming cheerful.

Seeing this dilapidated manor, thinking of his room and that broken bed, he felt at peace and relaxed.

"Who is it?"

At this moment, Xia Touying's voice came from inside.

The next moment, Duan Yun froze.

Because at this moment, several people suddenly emerged from the manor.

Most absurdly, three women came out of his room.

Three very beautiful women.

One had her long hair tied into a bun, looking gentle and moving, and the other two looked identical, with bright appearances and large chests.

"So lively?"

As Xia Touying, Feng Ling'er, and the Murong brothers appeared one after another, the entire Jade Pearl Manor suddenly seemed lively, like it was the New Year.

Or rather, Jade Pearl Manor shouldn't have so many people even during the New Year.

Because in Duan Yun's mind, since Feng Ling'er let the maids leave, there were basically only Xia Touying, Feng Ling'er, the Murong brothers, and him in this manor.

Now, the number of people had almost doubled.

The gentle beauty couldn't help but smile and say, "Doctor Duan, long time no see."

This gentle beauty was none other than Fu Wanjun, the Murong brothers' sister, the first sibling he had healed.

And the other two twin sisters were naturally the goddess detectives Leng Yimeng and Leng Yixue.

At this time, Shen Ying couldn't help but say in a strange tone, "During the days you were gone, there seemed to be quite a few people looking for you."

Feng Ling'er also joined in, mocking, "Yes, Doctor Duan, Young Hero Duan has quite a reputation; there are always beauties waiting."

The Murong brothers' faces turned green, looking resentful.

Fortunately, Wanjun was normal and not as bewitched as Ling'er.

At this time, Fu Wanjun coughed and said, "Doctor Duan, I'm here to ask you for treatment."

Yes, she wanted to prove her innocence; she was just a patient and had no interest in the doctor.

Unconsciously, half a year had passed since the last time she shivered on Fu Wanjun's body; the true qi in her body was spreading again, and it was time for treatment.

At this time, Leng Yimeng quickly explained, "My sister and I are here to deliver a message! Let me say first, don't get any wrong ideas; the family wouldn't trust me with an old demon."

Duan Yun: "."

This younger sister was still as clueless as ever.

But Feng Ling'er and Xia Touying had no intention of letting him off.

Shen Ying said with a look of disdain, "You're far away, but we've heard the stories several times over. You were asked to save the Murong brothers' sister, but you didn't find her; instead, you supposedly took over the entire Qiongling Sect."

Duan Yun quickly explained, "I didn't; those are all just storytellers making things up!"

"Is that so? It's said that the new head of the Qiongling Sect, Yu Zhenzhen, still misses you and personally confirmed that you deliberately spanked her butt. By the way, she even gave you the sect's most treasured secret manual," Feng Ling'er said sarcastically.

The Murong brothers added fuel to the fire, "It's not just that; the female swordswoman of the Qiongling Sect comes to find him every night. Several times, I was under their bed, suffering unspeakably!"

Duan Yun showed a shocked expression.

What they were saying was true; even the Murong brothers being under the bed was true, but the description was just so off.

"Disgusting, so disgusting!" Feng Ling'er said angrily.

"Perverted, so perverted!" Xia Touying added.

"Shameless! So shameless!" The Murong brothers added fuel to the fire.

"Shut up!"

"Shut up!"

"Why are you saying that about him!"

"Why are you saying that about him!"

The Murong brothers were instantly scolded by Shen Ying and Feng Ling'er in unison, looking bewildered.

Why, he was the one who made the mistake, but I'm still the one being scolded?

These two women were usually at odds with each other, but at this moment, they were very much like sisters.

Duan Yun spread his hands and said, "The clear are clear; why should a strong person like me, Young Hero Duan, explain to you?"

"Wanjun, let's go to the cellar."

Saying that, he walked towards the familiar cellar.

"Okay, Doctor Duan."

Fu Wanjun obediently followed, looking back at them like a fox before entering the cellar.

Xia Touying and Feng Ling'er suddenly realized and thought, "Could this woman's demureness be an act?"

For a time, everyone wanted to go to the cellar to watch Duan Yun's treatment, but they only heard a clang, and the cellar door was closed, shutting them out.

Seeing this, the Murong brothers lay on the cellar floor, knocking while anxiously saying, "I say, Old Duan, Wanjun is afraid of pain, be gentle."

There was no response from inside, leaving only the Murong brothers lying there with green faces, listening for movement.

In the cellar, Fu Wanjun lay on a wooden board, like a corpse.

This appearance was as natural as lying on her own bed at home.

Duan Yun stretched out his hand, his palm already resting on Fu Wanjun's head.

Almost at the same time, Fu Wanjun's ink-like black hair fluttered, her true qi flowing slowly.

Compared to the last time's nervousness, this time she was quite relieved about Duan Yun, even joking while absorbing, "I didn't expect you to be so amorous, Doctor Duan. I always thought you were a proper doctor."

Duan Yun said, "I am a proper doctor!"

Saying that, he increased the pressure on his hand, and Fu Wanjun let out a muffled groan, her toes curling into a ball.

But she still teased, "So, a proper doctor is someone who makes people shiver."

Duan Yun said, "Shivering is just a side effect of the treatment; you'll be shivering a lot later."

The newest novels are at Liu Jiu Shu Ba!

Fu Wanjun: "Ah?"

"It's been half a year, and your true qi has indeed become more savage, but my medical skills have improved a lot; this time, I'm going to treat you severely!"

With a squeak, lightning jumped between his fingers.

"Mmph!"

Fu Wanjun's whole body was tense.

As the violent true qi in her body was forcibly subdued and extracted by Duan Yun, accompanied by the stimulation of lightning, Fu Wanjun felt like she had entered an unprecedented state.

In just an instant, Duan Yun and she began to shiver together.

Intense and continuous shivering!

After it was over, Duan Yun let out a long breath and stood up.

Fu Wanjun was still lying there, her nose covered with fine sweat, her eyes staring blankly, "So, this shivering can be so comfortable."

Saying that, she sat up, tidied her hair, and couldn't help but ask, "Doctor Duan, how long will I need treatment next time?"

Duan Yun looked at his palm and said, "This treatment was quite thorough; two years won't be a problem."

Fu Wanjun blinked her beautiful eyes and said, "So long?"

For a moment, her tone seemed quite disappointed.

Afterward, the two of them came out of the cellar, their eyes as calm as sages.

Finding everyone looking at them with different expressions, Fu Wanjun said easily, "Doctor Duan's medical skills are very good; I'm fine now. To repay him, I'll make dinner tonight."

Then, she said very easily, "Don't worry, I'm not interested in the doctor; I'll leave tomorrow."

Feng Ling'er couldn't help but say, "Since you're fine, why don't you leave now? This guy is back; this place can't accommodate so many people."

Fu Wanjun raised her eyebrows and said, "Because I'm hungry and want to eat my fill and sleep before leaving."

"By the way, logically speaking, you should call me sister; I'll sleep in your room tonight."

Feng Ling'er: "."

Faced with this woman's impoliteness, she was speechless for a moment.

Young Hero Duan did not expect his business to be so busy.

He had just arrived at the manor, first treating Fu Wanjun, and now he had to receive Leng Yimeng and Leng Yixue.

But after much persuasion, it was almost dinner time, so they decided to talk during dinner.

Dinner was actually fish.

It was said that during the time he was away, Feng Ling'er and Shen Ying had become fishermen, often going to the lake to fish.

They always had quite a harvest.

But according to the Murong brothers privately, these two fishermen basically used bait to lure the fish over, and then Xia Touying punched the fish to the shore to complete the fishing task.

It must be said that this fishing method was quite efficient; for example, there were steamed fish with black beans, braised carp, fruit wood grilled fish, crucian carp tofu soup, and even a plate of West Lake vinegar fish made by the Murong brothers on the table.

West Lake vinegar fish was a famous dish in Yangzhou; the Murong brothers learned it with great interest when they traveled to Yangzhou.

Unfortunately, everyone only symbolically tasted a few bites of this famous dish before it was left out in the cold.

The Murong brothers couldn't help but complain, "This fish isn't from West Lake, and the vinegar isn't good either; my performance was off."

Shen Ying nodded and said, "Yes, Chef Murong will definitely be able to perform well if he goes to West Lake."

Hearing this, the Murong brothers were a little embarrassed.

It wasn't that he hadn't made it by West Lake; the taste was still indescribable.

Or rather, West Lake vinegar fish was an indescribable dish in itself; making it delicious was harder than practicing the twelfth level of Spring Rain.

The Murong brothers' West Lake vinegar fish was unpalatable, but the other fish were delicious.

Especially under the foil of his West Lake vinegar fish, the other fish even became more delicious.

For a time, everyone ate happily.

Eating like this, the group really felt like they were celebrating the New Year at home.

The people here were either wandering in the pugilistic world, or had a home they couldn't return to or didn't want to return to.

The outside world was full of rape and murder, full of conspiracies and tricks, while this place seemed much simpler, giving a sense of warmth.

If outsiders saw this scene, they would definitely find it unbelievable.

After all, just the names Duan Old Demon, Green Saber Old Demon, White-Haired Witch, Flower-Crazy Beauty, and Nine-Death Female Fist were enough to make people uneasy, let alone eating together.

But at this moment, they were eating very peacefully together.

Because they were friends, friends who understood each other.

Duan Yun liked this place because of this.

He felt that even if the whole world misunderstood him, the people here would understand him and believe him.

At this time, Leng Yimeng and Leng Yixue couldn't help but tell Duan Yun about the intelligence matters.

According to them, they had been helping Duan Yun keep an eye on those who had succumbed to female domination, trying to find the source of it. During this time, they actually discovered traces of the divine physician Xue from the Jiangzhong Sect.

They went to inquire and learned that divine physician Xue had suddenly become interested in a baby girl.

"A baby girl?"

Duan Yun and the others asked, puzzled.

"It is said that the baby girl was born being able to walk upside down. Before she was even a year old, she could already kill people, and she had killed several Jianghu figures. We learned that this baby girl is related to the Jade Maiden Sword Sect, the other branch you are investigating."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but feel a chill down their spines.

A baby born being able to walk upside down and able to kill people before the age of one? Was that a human or a monster?

Feng Ling'er couldn't help but ask, "How did those Jianghu people die?"

Yes, how old was a baby? How much strength could she have? How could she kill people, especially Jianghu people?

Leng Yixue replied, "One died from sword energy piercing the heart, one had their throat broken by a palm strike, and one was hanged from a tree."

"Did that baby girl do this?" Shen Ying asked.

Leng Yixue said, "That's what the eyewitnesses said. We didn't believe it at first, but the injuries of those dead, especially the palm that broke the throat, were indeed only the size of a baby's palm."

Upon hearing this, everyone felt it was outrageous and terrifying.

"Divine physician Xue was also very interested in this matter and wanted to see this baby girl, but he disappeared in White Bridge Town."

"Disappeared?"

"Yes, disappeared. We suspect it's related to the baby girl and also to the Jade Maiden Sword Sect. After that, we stopped investigating," Leng Yixue said.

Everyone knew that divine physician Xue was tight-lipped, his mouth as big as a basin, but his martial arts skills were also as big as a basin.

If even he was trapped, then this matter was tricky.

"If you want to investigate, you can go to White Bridge Town. There should be a secret stronghold of the Jade Maiden Sword Sect nearby," Leng Yimeng said.

Duan Yun quickly said gratefully, "Thank you both, divine constables, for your help."

Leng Yimeng quickly said, "We are only helping you out of Jianghu morality. Don't overthink it."

Duan Yun said with a pained expression, "I really won't overthink it."

"Also, be careful recently. According to our Qingqi Division's intelligence, it is said that the Dragon Essence obtained by the Jade Void Palace was intercepted by the beautiful ghost under the Ghost Mother, and the beautiful ghost has refined the Dragon Essence, turning her already terrifying skirt into a man-seed bag, absorbing whoever she sees.

And the beautiful ghost recently declared that she has a grudge against you and a woman who likes to fight, and she is coming to deal with you, this adulterous couple."

"You must be careful!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone's eyes fell on Duan Yun and Shen Ying.

Feng Ling'er burst into anger and said, "Is this beautiful ghost blind? Even if they are an adulterous couple, it's not her turn to be with the one who likes to fight!"

Shen Ying was instead quite happy, and she mocked, "Oh, some sword users always seem so redundant."

At this moment, Duan Yun stood up and asked, "Where is that beautiful ghost?"

Leng Yixue blinked and asked, puzzled, "What are you going to do?"

"Of course, I'm going to deal with her. Otherwise, are we going to let her live through the New Year? If we don't, people might think that I, Duan the Old Devil, bah, think that I, Duan the Young Hero, am easy to bully."

"By the way, she's under the Ghost Mother, right? Where's the Ghost Mother? Let's deal with her together!"

Seeing him so eager to try, everyone remembered that although the storyteller's stories had many fabricated elements, some of them were true.

For example, Duan the Old Devil was petty and liked to actively kill the whole family.

Now, he wouldn't even let "ghosts" go.
