Shenhe: Master, My Red Rope Can't Hold Me Back Much Longer!

To the Treasure Hoarders, Bai Ye was a being more demonic than a demon.

In his eyes, these Treasure Hoarders were nothing more than Mora.

No matter how many people there are, no matter how many methods they use, it's all useless against this guy.

"Be honest, and I might let you go."

Bai Ye smiled and said to the men in the Treasure Hoarders.

"I said, I will tell you everything I know."

The men in the Treasure Hoarders quickly answered.

"Tell me, what's the deal with that white-haired demon?"

"A while ago, our Treasure Hoarders was fleeing to the Nantianmen Gate..."

Why did you run away?

Bai Ye gritted his teeth and asked the members of the Treasure Hoarders.

Do you know that if you run away like this, it will be difficult for me to find you. Isn't this delaying my work?

Look at your fellow Treasure Hoarders outside Liyue Harbor. Knowing how hard I've worked, they banded together and sent me a huge loot box.

When it comes time to settle accounts with those guys, I'm sure it will be another substantial sum.

"I..."

The man was dumbfounded.

Why did we run away? Wasn't it because of you?

Bai Ye pulled out his Handheld Crossbow and aimed it at him.

"If you get a chance to come out this time, remember not to stray too far from Liyue Harbor, or I'll be able to catch you. Now, continue with the current situation."

"..."

The man didn't want to say anything.

It was clear from Cloud Retainer's eyes that he felt wronged.

However, she would not have any sympathy for the Treasure Hoarders, especially since they might be enemies of her own disciple.

"Our Treasure Hoarders has only been stationed here for a few days, and the supplies we brought are almost used up. Naturally, we need to find a way to earn some money."

When a man says he'll make a little money, he's obviously referring to robbing someone.

"So you managed to steal Shenhe?"

At this moment, Cloud Retainer asked the man a question.

"It's not us, it's not our group, it's the group next door."

Bai Ye explained to Cloud Retainer, "These Treasure Hoarders are rarely large; they're usually small groups of a few to a dozen people. Of course, there are also larger groups, but those members..."

"We hadn't even moved that day when we saw a man from the neighboring group running over covered in blood. When we asked him what happened, he said that a white-haired woman had tried to rob them, but they were all beaten up and most of them were subdued on the spot, except for him who escaped."

"At that time, our team had a lot more people than the team next door. Our leader decided to personally go and find that white-haired woman to take revenge and rescue the members of the Treasure Hoarders who had been captured."

"And then what?"

At this moment, Cloud Retainer looked at her, his eyes revealing murderous intent.

"That, that was a nightmare..." As if recalling the scene, the man began to go somewhat mad.

"She... she just stood there, not moving an inch. We charged at her. But with a mere flick of her wrist, our leader was sent flying. The others did the same; the woman stood there motionless, and we who rushed at her were sent flying."

Cloud Retainer's fist was already clenched.

"It's obvious that Shenhe didn't want to hurt anyone at that time. But you guys still went and provoked her."

"I was walking at the back when I saw them all get beaten down by that woman. I'm a coward, so I just ran away."

"Then what exactly happened with the white-haired demon?"

"After our Treasure Hoarders was wiped out, it seems other Treasure Hoarders also got wind of it. At the Nantianmen Gate, a woman easily wiped out an entire Treasure Hoarders. This is a huge blow to our Treasure Hoarders's reputation. Our Treasure Hoarders was already somewhat tarnished recently..."

The man glanced at Bai Ye again.

"Then what..."

"Then, I heard that those people were all beaten down by that woman and arrested."

Cloud Retainer looked at the man and asked again:

"Is she becoming increasingly aggressive and proactive in her actions?"

"How do you know? Although no one has been injured yet, as more and more Treasure Hoarders go there, the number of people being injured is increasing. In the end, she is no longer satisfied with passive defense, but instead takes the initiative to attack the Treasure Hoarders' camps."

Damn it!

Anger appeared on Cloud Retainer's face.

"Bai Ye, let's hurry and find Shenhe. If she really kills someone, then the red rope will no longer be able to restrain the evil aura on her body."

Upon hearing this, Bai Ye showed no intention of lingering.

Shenhe come down the mountain, pure as a blank sheet of paper. If she were to be tainted by evil energy, she would truly become unrecognizable to Bai Ye.

"That damned treasure- Treasure Hoarders."

Bai Ye fired an arrow at the man's side.

"Come on, tell me where she is now?"

"We heard yesterday that she broke through the combined camp of several Treasure Hoarders..."

He pointed out a direction to Bai Ye and Cloud Retainer.

Bai Ye tied him up.

Then he took him with him and set off to find Shenhe.

The joint camp of the Treasure Hoarders.

A speck of blood stained Shenhe's fair face.

Suppressing her urges, she wiped herself with a clean towel.

Looking back, they saw several members of the Treasure Hoarders tying up their accomplice.

The members of the Treasure Hoarders who were tied up were in a terrible state, all bearing serious injuries. Many of them were so tied up that they couldn't even stand up.

This was already the result of Shenhe's best efforts to control the situation.

She really didn't want to fight these people.

But they all came looking for him.

She couldn't hide from it even if she wanted to.

In the battle just now,

She tried to kill several of the leaders directly when she faced them.

If it weren't for the red string behind her head working at the last moment, she would have actually killed him.

Now that she has subdued everyone and made sure that none of the criminals from the newly joined Treasure Hoarders are tied up, this is already the most restrained result she could achieve.

"We've reached our limit."

Shenhe thought to himself.

If the enemy were to come again, she was certain she wouldn't be able to control her killing intent and would kill them.

Teacher,

What to do?

I'm about to lose control.

Shenhe thought to himself.

She paced back and forth in the open space, now truly afraid that the enemy would return.

She really didn't want to kill anyone.

But,

Things didn't go as she expected.

As Shenhe paced back and forth, he saw a group of people approaching from a distance.

She was wearing a short Liyue dress and her face was covered with a silk scarf.

They were all members of the Treasure Hoarders.

Beside these members of the Treasure Hoarders were several other figures, some tall and some stout.

He is a member of the Fatui.

"..."

Shenhe showed a pained expression.

Oh no, am I really going to commit murder?

My fate is destined to be lonely and unlucky; is this really how my destiny is?
