What Do You Think?

Under Jiang Lin's Heart-Lake Transmission, Sheng Yu also drank the wine offered by the burly men.

When he drank the beverage, Sheng Yu was actually a Xiao Xiao reluctant and didn't quite understand why Brother Jiang wanted to do it.

Wouldn't it be better to be more direct?

However, Sheng Yu still believed in Jiang Lin's choice from beginning to end.

After drinking the beverage, everything returned to normal. The burly man with the knife even started roasting wild boar meat and called Jiang Lin to come and eat with him.

Jiang Lin did not refuse and sat down by their campfire with Sheng Yu.

The girl, who looked to be about sixteen years old, would occasionally steal glances at Jiang Lin, her shyness and innocence revealing her girlish charm.

But soon, the girl lowered her head again, as if she was thinking of her deceased relatives. She quietly hugged her knees and murmured her head.

Jiang Lin said he hadn't noticed and continued chatting with them.

"Is the young master traveling to the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom alone?"

The beautiful woman asked cautiously, glancing at Sheng Yu, who was Sheng Yu against the Buddha statue like Ge You.

"I also have a demon friend of mine who I rely on for survival." Jiang Lin didn't eat a single bite of meat, and said calmly, "Madam doesn't seem like an ordinary woman. Aren't you afraid something might happen to you in this desolate wilderness?"

The beautiful woman shook her head, her eyes filled with melancholy. "Young master, you jest. My husband is dead, and my home is no longer a home. I can only seek refuge with relatives. Besides, with Uncle Dao and the others around, I'm unlikely to encounter any trouble."

"Indeed." Jiang Lin glanced at them, a glint of campfire in his eyes.

"If you don't mind, young master, may I ask if I could hire you and your demon friends as our guards? Once we arrive in the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom, I will certainly reward you doubly."

Raise your head, the beautiful woman in mourning clothes extended an invitation.

"Can."

Jiang Lin did not refuse, his answer was decisive, yet still indifferent.

"This humble servant thanks you, young master."

The woman rose and bowed slightly.

Seeing her mother get up, the girl, who was still lost in thought, quickly stood up and bowed.

"This is getting interesting."

Jiang Lin thought to himself, then downed the last drop of wine in his hand.

Because he had saved the woman, she wanted to repay him, so she asked him to accompany her to the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom so that he could have someone to look after her.

However, she had only recently become a widow and was still a woman, so she was hired through a marriage arrangement.

Are there still such kind-hearted people in the Demon Race World?

This was the first time Jiang Lin had even slightly changed his opinion of this speechless world.

The moon was already halfway up the sky. Seeing that the beautiful woman's eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and the girl was hugging her knees and nodding her head like a chick pecking at rice, Jiang Lin said "Let's go together tomorrow" and then returned to Sheng Yu's side, covered Sheng Yu's wings and went to sleep.

The mother and daughter, also to avoid suspicion, lay down on the other side, not far from their guards, and fell asleep leaning against each other.

The man with the knife felt extremely tired that day. After arranging the night watch, he said, "Wake me up when it's past Chou Hour," and then went to sleep with his knife in his arms.

Jiang Lin closed his eyes and began to breathe steadily, but he was already using his Spiritual Power to sense everything happening inside the temple.

For half an hour, nothing unusual happened in the dilapidated temple; those on duty kept watch, while others rested.

Half past Chou Hour, the Scarface on duty walked up to Dao Lao San and said, "Brother Dao, it's your turn to be on duty, Brother Dao, Brother Dao?"

After calling out several times, Dao Lao San remained unresponsive, his snoring continuing unabated.

The scarred man breathed a sigh of relief and said loudly with peace of mind:

"Get up, all of you."

Every now and then, all the guards except for Dao Lao San stood up, their expressions looking quite villainous.

"Damn it, they've finally taken him down!"

A man with a monkey-like appearance kicked the Dao Lao San.

"That was fucking terrifying!" A burly man breathed a sigh of relief. "When that pretty boy said the madam and young lady were poisoned, I was completely panicked."

"Indeed, fortunately, this Tendon Weakening Powder is quite effective. Taking small amounts continuously for ten days will not be detected, and it will accumulate toxicity. Today is the last day, and the medicine has just taken effect!"

"Alright, that's enough. Hurry up and kill Dao Lao San, then tie up these two women and send them to the Miao Water Palace."

"Tsk tsk tsk... What a pity! Although Madam is over thirty, she is still as beautiful as a flower."

"More than that, a woman like that is even more charming, especially one who has just become a widow."

"Hahaha, this young lady never imagined that we were the ones who killed her husband."

"How about we try it first and see how it tastes?"

"Don't do anything reckless. The young Palace Master of the Miao Water Palace specifically requested that they be virgins."

"Her daughter is a virgin, we can't touch her, but what about her mother? Anyway, she doesn't know what happened yet. Once she wakes up, she'll be in the Miao Water Palace. By then, we'll have already taken the money and run!"

"Haha, great idea! I'll go first!"

"Don't rush, the night is still long!"

"Let's draw lots then."

"Can!"

After hastily drawing lots, the monkey-like man drew the first one.

"Hehehe, I'm really lucky. Big Pillar, go and deal with Dao Lao San, make it quick."

Do you think Dao Lao San will join us?

"Join my ass! Does it mean more people will split the profits?"

"Haha, that's true. Dao Lao San is usually very stubborn and won't listen to reason. If he were a little more tactful, it would be better. He's just too inflexible."

"Alright, that's enough. Just slit his throat."

The man licked his dry lips, eagerly walked to the mother and daughter, glanced at the girl beside him with reluctance, and shook his head regretfully.

Indeed, they really couldn't touch this virgin; it's truly a pity.

However, this beautiful woman is not bad either.

"Ah!"

Just as the hot-throated man reached out his hand to the woman, a scream rang out beside him.

Suddenly, a bright light slashed towards Hou Sailei.

Monkey Sai Lei turned around and dodged, rolling over several times.

Looking closely, they saw that Da Zhu, who was about to Dao Lao San, had fallen to the ground, twitched a few times, and then died. His chest had caved in badly, and his sternum had pierced his heart.

"Dao Lao San! You're not dead!"

"Monkey Two! My husband has treated you well! Why have you betrayed us!"

On the other side, the beautiful woman also stood up and distanced herself, tightly protecting her daughter behind her, her eyes red-rimmed.

She never imagined that it would be her own servant who betrayed her!

"Hehehe, why? Need I say more? With your tender and lovely wife, who could resist? It's your good fortune to be favored by the Miao Water Palace, my lady."

"Brute!"

The beautiful woman held a dagger in her hand, and blood was already seeping from the corner of her mouth.

At this moment, Jiang Lin also stood up, dusted himself off, and looked at the scene in front of him as if nothing had happened.

Beside Jiang Lin, the wild pheasant demon, who was treated as an ordinary creature and had not yet taken human form, also waved its wings.

"You cured them of their poison?!"

Hou Sailei and his group looked at Jiang Lin Jiang Lin, wishing they could devour him alive.

That makes sense.

If it weren't for Jiang Lin, they would have already succeeded and enjoyed themselves, and then taken the mother and daughter back to the Miao Water Palace. They could have exchanged the spirit stones they received for silver, which would have been enough to live a carefree life!

But now, Dao Lao San has woken up, and that seemingly weak scholar is also at the Martial Warrior Fourth Realm, so the odds of winning are too low.

But they were unwilling to run away! After all, once they pulled off this heist, they would enjoy endless wealth and glory!

"Dao Lao San! Your master Murong Jian, is already dead! What's the use of your loyalty now?"

"I'm sweating bullets," said Hou Sailei.

"Don't think I don't know! You've actually had your eye on this woman for a long time! Every time this beautiful woman goes out, you drive for her, and you can't help but admire her waist and breasts!"

You're staying by her side now, hoping she'll fall into your arms, right? But what do you think? This widow is so stubborn. Do you really think she'll let you touch her?

You are nothing but a servant of the Murong Family! You are merely a lackey of the Murong Family!

"Follow us, and we'll let you have your fill of this woman! If that's not enough, you can have her yourself! But this girl from the Murong Family is someone the Palace Master Miao Water Palace specifically requested! We'll each have one! It's mutually beneficial, how about it?"

Listening to Hou Sai Lei's highly seductive voice, Dao Lao San fell silent, still gripping his broadsword tightly.

The beautiful woman, whose surname was Murong, looked at the burly man standing to her side with even greater vigilance, and tightly protected her daughter behind her.

Inside the temple, all was silent. Moonlight streamed down from the dilapidated roof, and the firelight illuminated everyone's faces, the flickering flames mirroring the ever-changing human heart.

During this time, the beautiful woman glanced at Jiang Lin, and Jiang Lin also looked at her.

In her eyes, besides fear and worry, there was entanglement and struggle! There was even a hint of hesitation and pleading for help.

But in the end, the woman simply shook her head and mouthed two words that appeared to be "Go quickly."

In the end, the woman withdrew her gaze. She did not ask Jiang Lin for help, but instead pulled out a gleaming dagger from her sleeve.

Behind the woman, a graceful, willow-like girl gently grasped her mother's wrist.

The girl, trembling, pulled a small knife from her sleeve, desperately trying to protect her innocence despite her fear.

"Brother Jiang, this is..."

Sheng Yu, without the slightest tension, transmitted his voice to Jiang Lin Heart-Lake Transmission.

Jiang Lin nodded. "Yes, this lady originally wanted to ask me for help, but seeing that I was only at the Martial Warrior Fourth Realm, she felt that if Dao Lao San rebelled, it would be a burden to me, so she thought of committing suicide and letting us escape in the chaos."

Looking at the mother and daughter, Jiang Lin couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion, especially for the pretty girl. Although her hand holding the dagger was trembling, Jiang Lin could see in her eyes the determination to preserve her innocence even at the cost of her life.

Seeing that Dao Lao San hesitated, the man with the monkey-like appearance continued:

"How about that, Dao Lao San! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

And let me tell you! We've already left our traces. If nothing unexpected happens, the people from the Miao Water Palace will arrive the next day! So what if you kill us?

Do you think you can escape the grasp of those Middle Five Realm cultivators? Dao Lao San! You're a smart man!

Finally! Dao Lao San raised his head and looked at the beautiful woman with deep affection, wanting to see if she would rely on him at this crucial moment and show that pleading tenderness.

If she submits to me, then I will protect her!

But in the beautiful woman's eyes, there was only determination!

With a soft sigh, Dao Lao San turned his head and dragged his large broadsword step by step toward Hou Sailei!

As he approached Hou Sailei, Dao Lao San raised his cleaver and brought it down in one swift motion!

Inside the temple, the girl behind her mother covered her mouth tightly and closed her eyes, while Jiang Lin and the others remained expressionless.

Blood splattered, but it wasn't the blood of Hou Sailei and his group; it was Dao Lao San's, his arm lying on the ground.

Using his inner energy to stop the bleeding, Dao Lao San turned around.

Although Madam Murong's face was still pale, she stood before her daughter like a mountain.

"Madam Murong, Brother Murong saved my life and took me in back then. That was an act of kindness. When Murong Estate was massacred, I risked my life to rescue you and your daughter, protecting you all the way. That was also my way of repaying that debt. This last arm is my final act of repayment!"

Jiang Lin could even see the greed in Dao Lao San's eyes as he looked at Madam Murong.

"We're all just trying to make a living, so please don't resist, madam." Dao Lao San raised his knife, then looked at Jiang Lin. "Young brother, no matter what, you saved us. Otherwise, I would have died in Mi Hu. You can leave now!"

"Oh? Really?"

Jiang Lin tilted his head and smiled.

"Really?" Dao Lao San nodded. "Killing you would be pointless. If you really are a scholar from the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom, there's no need to make an enemy of you."

"Then I'll be going."

Jiang Lin spoke slowly, but his words were directed at Murong and her daughter.

"Thank you for saving me from the poison earlier, young master." Meeting Jiang Lin's gaze, Madam Murong curtsied, her face still dignified with a smile.

"Thank you for curing Qin Er's poison, young master." The girl also bowed, and although her body was trembling, her manners were still perfectly proper and graceful.

Although the mother and daughter felt fear and despair, they had no intention of dragging Jiang Lin down with them.

"Yes, you're welcome."

Jiang Lin walked slowly toward the entrance of the dilapidated temple. Just as he brushed past Dao Lao San Jiang Lin, a burst of true energy erupted from Jiang Lin, scattering his hair.

Thump!

Sensing danger, Dao Lao San parried in time, taking a Dao Lao San from Jiang Lin and crashing into the wall before being thrown out of the temple!

Although the incident happened suddenly, these men, all seasoned veterans, didn't hesitate for long. They swarmed forward, determined to tear this reckless young man to pieces!

Dao Lao San slowly stood up, wiped the blood from his mouth, unleashed his true energy, and rushed into the temple to punch Jiang Lin.

Jiang Lin, who deliberately sealed his Spiritual Apertures, simply used the Martial Warrior Fourth Realm to fight his enemies, practicing stances and gathering punches, each punch producing a thunderous, muffled sound.

Every punch Jiang Lin landed on a person produced the sound of bones cracking, his internal energy churning their internal organs, killing them instantly.

Thump!

Seizing the opportunity, Dao Lao San threw another punch! Jiang Lin with a punch of his own!

"Ah!"

Two fists collided!

A scream rang out, followed by the sound of bones shattering.

Jiang Lin kicked him in the face, sending him flying, leaving him with half a breath.

"You're at the Martial Warrior Fifth Realm?!"

Kneeling before Jiang Lin, Dao Lao San, unable to resist any longer, said unwillingly.

"You guess?"

Jiang Lin stepped forward with a smile on his face.
