Chapter 490: Chapter 488: Handling the Matter

"Get lost!"

Zhu Yuan said bluntly.

Her tone was incredibly cold.

But in the eyes of the aristocratic young master, this just made him desire her more.

’What a little chili pepper.’

The more she acted like this, the more it stirred the wicked thoughts in his heart.

The aristocratic young master gave a few fake coughs. "Ahem, ahem."

Two brawny men appeared behind him.

The surrounding people all looked at Zhu Yuan with pity.

"It’s happening again. The Prime Minister’s second son is at it again."

"That poor girl."

"Yeah, so pitiful~"

As the crowd whispered amongst themselves, the brawny men came to Zhu Yuan’s side. Both reached out at the same time, trying to grab her.

Zhu Yuan didn’t dodge or evade in the slightest, simply letting the men reach for her.

But the moment they touched her clothes...

...a horrifying scene unfolded.

The two brawny men instantly withered into decrepit old men, and a moment later, they crumbled into a pile of dust.

"AHHH—"

"A monster!"

"It’s a monster!"

The surrounding people screamed in terror, breaking into a chaotic scramble as they fled the restaurant, with no desire to stick around and watch the show.

The second young master saw this scene as well.

His face was filled with disbelief. After his widened eyes met Zhu Yuan’s cold gaze...

...a shiver ran down his entire body.

Without another word,

he scrambled to run outside.

Despite being a frail young master, whose Yang Qi had long been weak, he unleashed an unprecedented athletic Talent in the face of this life-or-death crisis.

He fled with incredible speed.

Only a few of the restaurant’s workers remained, hiding. Even the Shopkeeper, watching on, was utterly terrified. He was so stunned that he didn’t dare to approach and ask what happened.

Su Qing was watching from the side.

He had no intention of revealing himself.

As the Time Dragon, a being of the Star Sea World’s stature...

...even if she was grievously injured...

...she was not someone that mortal creatures could dare to humiliate.

Just look at those two brawny men. In an instant, they were reduced to dust blown by Time, already dead.

Even their souls had decayed.

Seeing this, Zhu Yuan lost her appetite.

She had no choice but to put on a simple straw hat and leave.

The moment she stood up...

...the workers inside the building finally understood the meaning of "tall and sturdy."

It only confirmed their belief that she was a monster.

’What kind of woman grows that tall?’

Just as Zhu Yuan walked out the door...

...the people inside suddenly noticed a man in a White Cloak appear behind her.

Their heights were similar, but his appearance sent a chill through everyone inside.

’Is this place haunted in broad daylight?’

’Someone just appeared out of thin air!’

The kitchen boy and the Shopkeeper were so frightened they broke out in a cold sweat.

Zhu Yuan also sensed his presence and whipped her head around.

She saw Su Qing’s smiling face.

The White Cloak was extremely eye-catching.

The moment Zhu Yuan saw Su Qing, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"I can’t believe you found me here. This is great."

"It seems your Inference Ability is very powerful."

Zhu Yuan truly felt relieved now.

’I never expected Su Qing to actually find me here.’

"My other skills are pretty great, too."

"I told you, I’m a genius. Don’t be too surprised by my abilities," Su Qing chuckled.

"Do you want to go back?"

"I’m afraid it will take a long time to recover from your injuries here."

Zhu Yuan paused for a moment. "You could even figure out that I was injured?"

"Of course."

"Why else would I have come looking for you?"

"I don’t want to waste my Time just to play around with you, do I?"

Su Qing said helplessly.

But Zhu Yuan just giggled, her eyes revealing a deep sense of joy.

Perhaps everyone, when at their lowest point, hopes for a helping hand.

Su Qing’s arrival...

...was like receiving charcoal in a snowstorm.

"Since you’re already here, let’s look around."

"This mortal kingdom has its own unique charm."

"The clothing here looks a lot like yours."

The two walked down the street, seemingly oblivious to the fearful expressions the passersby directed at Zhu Yuan.

Although Zhu Yuan wore a straw hat, her height still gave her away.

’No woman grows that tall.’

But now, beside her, was an equally tall and incredibly handsome man.

Moreover, his skin and bearing were completely beyond what any ordinary person could compare to.

He was like an Immortal from the heavens.

"It only looks like mine. But the environment here is harsh, at least for ordinary people."

"You just saw it yourself. If you’re good-looking, you risk being abducted," Su Qing chuckled.

But soon...

...groups of soldiers in armor appeared at both ends of the street.

Two heavy cavalrymen on horseback also appeared at the front.

They surrounded Su Qing and Zhu Yuan.

"Go! Seize the Demoness and her accomplice!"

"You go. I don’t want to make a move, I’m seriously injured." Zhu Yuan’s tone was soft, with a hint of coquettishness.

’Holy crap.’

’This is the first time I’ve ever heard Zhu Yuan speak like that.’

Su Qing couldn’t help but laugh. "Seeing as you’re so weak, I’ll help you deal with this little trouble you’ve caused just this once."

The two chatted and laughed, completely unafraid.

This made the surrounding soldiers hesitate to act.

*SHIIING~*

The moment the Profound Immortal Sword appeared, its aura bore down on all the soldiers.

A black sword soared into the air, its cold edge flashing with chilling light.

Every soldier on the scene held their breath.

The appearance of a Flying Sword...

...shattered all the soldiers’ thoughts.

The soldiers holding weapons all fell to the ground, kowtowing frantically.

"Immortal, spare our lives! Immortal, spare our lives!"

"We were just following orders, we had no choice!"

Even the heavy cavalrymen tumbled from their horses and began to kowtow desperately.

Su Qing said nothing.

The Profound Immortal Sword swung lightly.

A flash of sword light passed, and a hundred-meter-long fissure appeared in the center of the street.

"You’ve offended an Immortal and a Fairy. You should know how to beg for forgiveness, shouldn’t you?"

"Within half a day, I expect a satisfactory answer."

Su Qing said coolly, his face devoid of expression.

Everyone stared in horror at the hundred-meter sword gash on the ground. Its depth was unknown, and it gaped like a black abyss.

This proved, without a doubt, that he was a true Immortal.

"Why are you toying with these creatures? Why not just kill them directly?"

The soldiers all looked up at Su Qing in terror.

And at the Fairy who had just spoken.

’This Fairy is even more ruthless and cold-hearted than we imagined.’

The feeling of having their lives and deaths held in the hands of another made them tremble uncontrollably.

"You don’t understand. It’s better to have them drag out everyone who offended you. It’s the most practical way to strike at the root of the problem."

"We don’t even have to lift a finger, and the matter will be resolved perfectly."

Su Qing’s words were like a calming pill for the prostrating soldiers.

"Go. You only have half a day."

"Otherwise... you can figure out the consequences."

Su Qing said to the soldiers with a nonchalant look.

They scrambled to their feet, repeatedly calling out, "Thank you for the Immortal’s mercy in sparing our lives!"

They hurried away, as if they were off to fight a great battle.

...

"See? That’s all it takes. I just flash my Dao Artifact, say a few words, and that’s the end of it."

Zhu Yuan, however, replied, "Too much trouble. If it were me, I would’ve just taken care of it myself."

"For me, this is simpler," Su Qing chuckled.

The method of ’blocking generals with soldiers and damming water with earth’ is just a last resort when you have no other strategy.

But Su Qing had many strategies at his disposal.

Just wagging his tongue was better than constantly having to hunt people down and kill them.

"Things will be much more convenient for us now. The mortals all think we’re Immortals."

"We’ll be welcomed with great enthusiasm wherever we go," Su Qing said with a smile.

Zhu Yuan nodded.

The two of them wandered the streets for a long time.

They were welcomed by many merchants, and Zhu Yuan received many things for free.

Su Qing didn’t mind, but he still gave them some gold and silver in return.
