Chapter 72 Antong’er

A bunch of quack doctors!

Fang Yue’s face was unsightly. Looking at the black halo above his head, from which a drop of water would occasionally fall, he felt more and more like this was his Sword of Damocles.

“[Qianyao Palace]… I need to quickly find a way to go to the capital and ask someone about the whereabouts of [Qianyao Palace].”

Fang Yue clenched his fist, feeling the urgency of time.

Right now, the black halo wasn’t much. This drop, drop of [Night Rain], that slow speed, was nothing compared to his 7000 health points.

The problem was what level the [Night Rain] would grow to later…

He glanced at the handkerchief wrapped around the back of his hand. That position was as hot as a branding iron, making him uncomfortable.

Taking a deep breath, Fang Yue bought a bamboo hat and put it on his head. But this was only a temporary solution. When the Night Rain got heavier, the bamboo hat would be useless.

However, even such an expedient measure seemed to have lost its effect…

The black halo slowly moved downwards, penetrating the bamboo hat, and directly dropped a drop of Night Rain on Fang Yue’s head.

-1.

Fang Yue: …

Could this thing have its own consciousness??

Fang Yue felt a chill in his heart, threw away the bamboo hat, and walked forward quickly, amidst the strange gazes of others.

The black halo also moved back up a certain distance in sync, fixed above Fang Yue’s head.

Seemingly annoyed, Fang Yue hurried on his way.

But after only a few steps, he suddenly perked up his ears, as if he heard something. His pupils contracted sharply, and he widened his eyes, suddenly frozen in place.

“Did you hear? The first prize of this year’s [Martial Duel] is a slave named [Antong’er]. Who is this Antong’er? Could it be that she’s extremely beautiful? Otherwise, why would she be arranged as a reward for the winner of the [Martial Duel]?”

“Who knows? Anyway, we have no hope. But if those martial artists aren’t satisfied, I don’t mind paying a high price to buy her. Hehehehehe, who would complain about having another little beauty?”

Antong’er…

Is it the Antong’er I know?!

Coming back to his senses, Fang Yue was already breathing heavily, grabbing a passerby.

“D-Daxia, spare me!”

The people around him screamed in fright and scattered. Some with a little conscience even went to report the crime.

But Fang Yue, at this moment, was just staring intently at the person in front of him.

“Antong’er… A slave as a reward for the Martial Duel, named Antong’er, right? A little girl? Do you have a portrait of her? Where did you hear this news from?”

“I, I don’t know anything! The organizers, it’s all news coming from the Tian Shang Alliance. Don’t kill me, don’t kill me!”

Although he knew that Chunu City was chaotic, wasn’t that at night? Why are there crazy people being so ferocious even in broad daylight??

The tough are afraid of the stubborn, and the stubborn are afraid of the crazy. At this moment, Fang Yue’s expression looked exactly like a madman standing on the fifth floor.

“Bold villain! Release that peddler!”

With a loud shout, a violent aura shot from afar.

His expression changed, and Fang Yue threw the peddler away, drew his Green Blade, and blocked with all his might.

Clang!

“To be able to see through my disguise, not bad! The younger generation is to be feared.”

With that, Fang Yue threw out a few heads of the Night Thief chieftains.

“I heard that the Night Thieves in Chunu City were extremely fierce, so I dealt with them along the way. Take a look and see if these are the ones?”

Dou Hongyi’s pupils shrank. Those heads were all top experts from the Thief Rankings. From Senior Yu’s tone, it seemed like he had wiped out all the top-ranked experts on the Thief Rankings!

Hiss—

Dou Hongyi gasped. He was just a martial artist of the Innate Realm, which, compared to the Thief Rankings, was about the same strength as the number one on the Thief Rankings.

If Thief Rankings no. 1 could be killed by a Yu-level expert, then he could naturally be killed by a Yu-level expert as well.

Many things in the mundane world are only aimed at mortals. Yu-level experts have never been within the scope of these rules.

What can restrain Yu-level experts are only Yu-level experts!

Taking a deep breath, Dou Hongyi calmed himself down: “Sir, you’ve eliminated harm for the people. After we calculate it, we will send the reward to your residence. Please leave your name and address.”

“Eliminating harm for the people is not worth mentioning.”

“This… then we’ll change it to a public announcement, publicizing it widely…”

“Although it’s not worth mentioning, since it’s the official rules, I’ll still accept the reward, lest I make things difficult for you.”

“…Thank you for your understanding, sir!”

Squinting his eyes, Fang Yue put his hands behind his back and paced back and forth.

Although in Dou Hongyi’s eyes, he was just an Innate Realm expert.

But he should be equating himself to a Yu-level expert.

Think carefully about how to take advantage of this identity.

Paper can’t contain fire, and his identity will be exposed sooner or later. Before that, he needs to get more information out.

“I heard that Chunu City is holding some kind of Martial Duel, which is very lively, but the first prize is actually a female slave. Is there such a thing?”
