“Spare me?”
Lu Benwei said playfully: “Don’t you like playing dead? Why not let me make your dream come true?”
“No, no, no, I was wrong. Please spare this insignificant life of mine, oh enlightened, invincible, towering, terrifying, and gallant master.”
Night Wind Centipede pleaded with a crying face.
“Oh?”
Hearing this, Lu Benwei cocked his skull and exchanged a glance with Ao Qing. He slowly said, “Qing, I didn’t expect we’d run into another wise demon!”
Saying so, he brought his skull close to Night Wind Centipede and gently asked, “Am I really that perfect?”
“Yes, yes, yes! Your perfection is written on your face. I was impressed by your temperament at first sight. But I, a lowly little centipede, was too timid and modest to talk to you. Yet I’ve always thought this in my heart!”
“Oh my! Since you’re a wise demon, go on and leave. I won’t make things difficult for you,” Lu Benwei waved his hand and spoke generously.
Hearing this, Night Wind Centipede was overjoyed.
But after staggering a few steps, he realized he had nowhere to go.
The demon kings he had followed were all dead. Without a backer, it would be hard for a petty demon like him to survive.
Thus, he abruptly turned back and fawned, “Brothers, please allow me to follow you and serve you.”
“How can a little centipede like you be of use to us? Hurry and leave, don’t blame me for changing my mind!” Lu Benwei waved his hand impatiently.
“I can be useful!”
Night Wind Centipede quickly explained, “I see the two handsome brothers lack money?”
“Money is easy to solve. I know where it is. I can lead you there!”
“Oh?”
Hearing this, the skeleton and the dog exchanged a glance, instantly eyeing Night Wind Centipede.
“You speak true?”
“Absolutely true! I swear on my life. And there are quite a lot of treasures too. I’m most knowledgeable about these things.” Night Wind Centipede quickly replied.
“Good lad, didn’t expect you to be a hidden gem!”
Lu Benwei shook off his previous listlessness, slapped his thigh and stood up, “Fine, as long as you can lead us to money, I’ll let you follow me.”
“Thank you, big brother.”
Night Wind Centipede bowed down on the ground, then looked towards Ao Qing and shouted again, “Greetings, brother Dog. Brother Dog’s temperament also deeply moves me. As expected of a demon accompanying big brother, please guide me in the future. We both serve big brother.”
Being called “brother Dog” and praised made the dog feel elated.
He didn’t like the little centipede before, but now he seemed alright!
And so,
the skeleton, the dog and the centipede came to an agreement and hurried towards the destination Night Wind Centipede spoke of.
That place was Shogunate Mountain next to Pingjiang City.
The weather was getting colder and colder.
Winter had arrived, and the land was covered in white.
"Master, I have mastered the three forms. What should I practice next?" Zhong Qing wiped the sweat off his forehead and asked Yi Feng.
"Next, I'm afraid I'll have to take you to Shogunate Mountain to temper yourself." After careful consideration, Yi Feng made this decision.
He was no cultivator, and could only teach Zhong Qing martial arts. But even if it was just these, he would do his best.
He would also train Zhong Qing into an outstanding master.
"That's great Master! When do we set off?" Zhong Qing asked excitedly, eager to wield his big sword.
"Let's go tomorrow!" Yi Feng calculated the time.
"Okay Master. I'll go do the chores at home first, and wash these few days' clothes."
Saying so, Zhong Qing left and busied himself with housework.
Seeing Zhong Qing's diligent appearance, Yi Feng sighed slightly.
The child had too many chores to do every day besides martial arts practice. Although Yi Feng also helped with a lot, it still pained his heart.
Moreover, it wasn't proper for grown men like them to be washing clothes and cooking.
It seemed like
they needed a woman at the martial arts school.
After taking Zhong Qing to temper himself at Shogunate Mountain, he would find a maid!
