Chapter 135 The Head

Although Niu Niu isn't doing amazingly right now, he's still better off than most people, and certainly better off than back in Mo Village when he was poisoned mute and couldn't even speak properly.

After confirming, Fang Yue was certain that the Niu Niu in front of him was really the same Niu Niu from before!

Fang Yue was excited and circled Niu Niu several times, laughing, "Good lord, I'm just blown away, you kid actually became a Liehuo Sect disciple. I even pretended to be one before... ahem, well, how did you know I was here?"

Niu Niu wasn't flustered and first had his two lackeys greet the esteemed Night.

"So this is Brother Night that Brother Niu mentioned! I am a Liehuo Sect disciple, nicknamed 'Crooked-Mouth Wang'!"

"I'm Ye Shao!"

Fang Yue looked at Lackey Number One's crooked mouth and Lackey Number Two's cool demeanor.

Could these be the legendary Crooked-Mouth God of War and Ye Liangchen?

With these Crouching Dragon and Young Phoenix, no wonder Niu Niu could soar to the sky.

Fang Yue's mouth twitched, feeling that he shouldn't judge by appearances, and politely greeted the two.

After introducing his lackeys, Niu Niu said proudly, "Brother Night, actually, I've wanted to come and join you for a long time, but the Liehuo Sect has too many rules, and I couldn't find a suitable opportunity to run away. This time, I finally found an opportunity, so I quickly took on this task and ran over. From now on, I'm your man!"

As he spoke, Niu Niu even gave Fang Yue a flirty wink, and the air suddenly became scorching.

Fang Yue felt goosebumps all over his body, but he was still quite happy that Niu Niu had come to join him.

"You're going to betray the Liehuo Sect? That will cause a lot of trouble..." Wei Ba hesitated, knowing that Fang Yue was strong, but facing the Liehuo Sect was still too much pressure.

Niu Niu too, Jing Yan too, they… relied too much on Fang Yue. This was causing trouble for Fang Yue and increasing the pressure on everyone.

Wei Ba always felt that it was best to handle her own affairs to the best of her ability. Relying on others for everything would only make her a parasite.

"It's not really betrayal. I'm still running errands for the Liehuo Sect. At most, I'll follow Brother Night after running errands and not return to the sect for the time being."

Niu Niu chuckled and handed the fiery red box in his hand to Wei Ba.

"Here, this is what the Liehuo Sect asked me to give you. This was originally someone else's job, but I specifically snatched it to deliver it."

"Given to… me?"

Wei Ba was slightly stunned.

She had expected the Liehuo Sect to discover her whereabouts.

Because the Liehuo Sect was keeping a close eye on her. Unless she continued to do as before, not staying in one place for too long and constantly moving, it was only a matter of time before she was discovered.

Staying in such a conspicuous place like the You Manor would inevitably be discovered by the Liehuo Sect.

However, residing in the You Manor meant that even the Liehuo Sect wouldn't dare to act rashly, so it didn't matter if the Liehuo Sect knew her address.

The trouble was that she would have to be extra careful when going out in the future.

But she had never imagined that the Liehuo Sect would send her a gift.

Most likely… they had bad intentions.

While she was frowning with a solemn expression, Fang Yue directly asked, "The Liehuo Sect and the Jibing Sect are mortal enemies, and they're giving gifts to Wei Ba? What's inside? It's not something that will explode, is it?"

"Brother Night, what are you saying? If it was really something like that, wouldn't I, the errand runner, be finished too? The Liehuo Sect isn't that cruel to its disciples. After all, it's a famous and upright sect."

That was hard to say. Fang Yue remembered that he had once obtained a Liehuo Sect technique, the main purpose of which was self-detonation.

No one could say for sure what this kind of sect would do.

"Give it to me."

Fang Yue was wondering if he should check it first before giving it to Wei Ba, but Wei Ba had already taken the box from Niu Niu.

The box felt surprisingly heavy in her hand.

She opened it, and in the next instant, Wei Ba's pupils contracted, her brain buzzed, and went blank. The box in her hand fell to the ground with a thud, and the contents of the box rolled out.

It was… Ni Dongmei's head.

"How could this be?!" Jing Yan's expression changed.

"How could Goddess's head be…" Niu Niu, who had been laughing and joking just now, was stunned on the spot. He had fallen in love with Ni Dongmei at first sight back in Mo Village. Although she was an old woman, her looks were online and directly fascinated him. Only later did he reluctantly give up.

He never expected that their reunion would be like this.

The box he had been carrying all the way actually contained Ni Dongmei's head!

"..."

After the initial shock, Fang Yue's expression gradually turned grim and cold. His fist slowly clenched, and he squeezed out three words from between his teeth: "Lie! Huo! Sect!"

Although his initial impression of Ni Dongmei wasn't good, as they got to know each other, she not only helped him a lot, but their relationship gradually changed. Later, she became Wei Ba's guide, taking care of everything for Wei Ba in the Jibing Sect.

In many ways, Ni Dongmei was a common friend of Fang Yue and the others.

But now, this friend was dead, her head was cut off, and sent to their faces by the Liehuo Sect as a display of their might.

Anger surged from his heart, while Wei Ba had already picked up Ni Dongmei's head again, passed them, and walked outside.

"Wei Ba?! Where are you going?"

"Liehuo Sect."

Wei Ba's voice was so cold that it chilled to the bone, making Fang Yue realize for the first time that the nickname [Jibing Holy Maiden] wasn't just about her being the Jibing Sect's Holy Maiden, but also about her being, at certain times, as extremely cold as extreme frost, so cold that it froze people's blood and made them unable to approach at all!

"Brother Night, I've been in Jing City for too long. I thought I would have a few days of buffer and rest, but Ni Dongmei's head has made me realize. This great war between the Jibing Sect and the Liehuo Sect, from the moment it started, was already a death match, and I, the Jibing Sect's Holy Maiden, can't withdraw even a bit! "

"So, I'm going back. I'm going to end this war!"

Seeing frost slowly condensing behind Wei Ba and frost cracks spreading across the ground beneath her feet, Fang Yue quickly said, "Wait! I'll go with you!"

Wei Ba, who had just been about to leave, immediately stopped and looked back at Fang Yue, her gaze shifting to Jing Yan, without saying a word.

"..." Jing Yan lowered his head and clenched his fists.

He wanted to tell Fang Yue to go and help Wei Ba, but his selfish heart prevented him from speaking.

It had been many days since Qing Chen disappeared.

No one knew how long he could hold on.

Perhaps today was the limit, the last chance to save him. Perhaps if they missed this opportunity, Qing Chen would be completely hopeless…

And if he just spoke 'generously', losing Fang Yue's help, he might really end up killing Qing Chen!

Therefore, he couldn't bring himself to speak.
