Almost All Were Like This.
[bite...]
Just as Jiang Lin finished speaking, the system's voice, which had been offline for nearly a hundred chapters, rang in Jiang Lin's mind.
[The system has detected that the host has entered the Demon Race World and become involved in the first conflict. System task triggered.]
[Select Task 1: Make a deep impression on Madam Murong and Murong Qin. How is the host any different from that traitor Cao Cao? Be Jiang A'man for once! 2: If anyone deceives me, I will destroy them! Destroy the Miao Water Palace, and the host will become a fearsome villain!]
[Quest Reward: First-Grade Immortal Sword - Willow Blade.]
[Willow Blade: Drawing a knife to cut water only makes it flow more; it's like a knife, yet not a knife; like a sword, yet not a sword! Only a fine sword is a true sword!]
[Please make your selection within three seconds... 3...]
"Choose two!"
Jiang Lin, who had been missing the system for a long time, decisively chose the second option.
Are you kidding me!
I already have a master and senior sisters, how could I possibly act recklessly!
Besides, if I choose option one, then I'll really be no different from that traitor Cao Cao!
The second point is more reliable, although Jiang Lin felt quite regretful after making the choice, feeling like he had missed out on a fortune.
[Host's choice has been received. May the host forge ahead on the path of villainy!]
As soon as the system notification ended, Jiang Lin's consciousness returned to reality; it hadn't taken much time in total.
"Young Master Jiang, what did you just say?"
At this moment, Madam Murong was still looking at Jiang Lin with slightly trembling eyes, feeling as if she had misheard.
"I said, please, Madam and Miss, accompany us."
Jiang Lin repeated.
The sun is already high in the sky.
Walking along the mountain path, Jiang Lin's pace was neither fast nor slow, in order to match the pace of Murong and her daughter.
Behind Jiang Lin and Sheng Yu, the Murong mother and daughter stared intently at their benefactor, who was less than three meters away from them, maintaining a safe distance.
When Jiang Lin asked her to "go together," Madam Murong actually refused.
For this beautiful woman, the other party had already helped her a great deal. If he could take her daughter away and ensure her daughter's safety, that would be more than enough. She couldn't ask for anything more.
He was willing to do anything to protect his daughter.
Similarly, I will take another path to draw the attention of the Miao Water Palace to my benefactor and daughter, and do my best to buy time for my benefactor.
But to my surprise, this benefactor also took me with him.
This was something Madam Murong hadn't expected.
In the Demon Race World, do such good people truly exist?
This made Madam Murong wonder if he was going to take her to a bad place.
But this idea was quickly dismissed.
If Young Master Jiang wanted, Young Master Jiang could knock me unconscious and take me away the moment he and Qin Er put down their daggers.
Even though Young Master Jiang could keep it a secret from her that she had been Soul-Bewitching Powder, after killing those people, she and Qin Er were still completely at his mercy and had no power to resist.
"River..."
"Daddy... Niannian is so bored."
"Brother-in-law, Qing Lian wants to come out too."
Just as Madam Murong really didn't want Jiang Lin to risk his life, and thought that splitting up now would still be enough to attract the pursuers, two childish, sweet voices came from ahead.
The next moment, Murong and her daughter saw two beams of light flash from the ring on Jiang Lin's finger.
"Daddy..."
Brother-in-law...
Two extremely cute girls, who were clearly beauties, bounced out and rushed into Young Master Jiang's arms.
Niannian adorable, slightly chubby-cheeked Qing Lian and the delicate, graceful Qinglian caught Murong Qin's eye.
Madam Murong was even more astonished.
Poop?
Brother-in-law?
So Young Master Jiang is already married?
However, for some reason, seeing their innocent smiles, Madam Murong and Miss Murong felt themselves gradually calm down.
This kind of pure and beautiful smile is the rarest and most precious thing in the Demon Race World.
"Daddy, who are these two older sisters?" Niannian blinked her big eyes at Murong and her mother.
"Brother-in-law, you can't be unfaithful. Mother told me to keep an eye on your husband for my sister..." Qing Lian, carrying Nine Longswords on her back, said in a low voice.
However, the girl quickly became conflicted...
Although Mother wants to keep an eye on Brother-in-law, what if she can't keep an eye on Qing Lian? Besides, Brother-in-law treats Qing Lian so well...
"Let me introduce you. This is my daughter, Jiang Niannian, and my sister-in-law Lin Qinglian."
Jiang Lin gently patted their heads with both hands, his eyes completely changing from their previous coldness, as if he were a different person.
For a moment, neither Murong nor her daughter knew which one was the real Young Master Jiang.
Especially when Madam Murong heard such a lovely girl call her "sister," Madam Murong pretty face actually blushed slightly.
When Madam Murong heard Jiang Lin tell Niannian and Qing Lian that they had gotten lost and happened to be going the same way, Madam Murong blinked even more.
As a mother, she knew that he was protecting the innocence of the two girls and didn't want them to know the ugliness of the Demon Race World.
On the rest of the journey, Jiang Lin and his group continued towards the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom, but they were able to slow down their pace, as if they were on a leisurely outing.
Sixteen-year-old Murong Qin quickly became acquainted with Niannian and Qing Lian, and their smiles increased along the way.
Peeking closely, this young beauty from the mortal world had the demeanor of an older sister, holding Niannian and Qing Lian's hands as if afraid they would get hurt. The three girls would also chat and whisper many secrets, their relationship growing even closer.
Even Sheng Yu joined in, the three of them riding on Sheng Yu's back as they soared and returned, their Yin Ling laughter ringing out from time to time.
Jiang Lin and Madam Murong walked side by side.
However, to show that he was different from Cao Cao, Jiang Lin kept a distance of four fist widths between himself and her.
From Madam Murong, Jiang Lin learned a general understanding of the Murong Family's situation.
Roughly speaking, the Murong family is a martial arts family in a country called Shui Miao Kingdom, and they are highly regarded by the imperial court and the Jianghu.
But one day, when the Murong Estate took his wife and daughter on an outing, they encountered the young master of the Miao Water Palace.
The young master Niannian the wife and daughter of the Murong Estate and wanted to take them both into his own household.
However, Murong Estate's strength was not bad either. He not only had many Martial Warrior, but also a few friends who were Qi Refiner.
In summary, the strength of the Miao Water Palace and Murong Estate is roughly the same.
The matter of the young master of the Miao Water Palace could only Liao Liao.
Unexpectedly, not long ago, the Palace Master of the Miao Water Palace emerged from seclusion having already broken through to the next level. Moreover, the Palace Master Miao Water Palace even sent his daughter to a nearby "prestigious family" to establish a relationship.
With a powerful backer, the young master of the Miao Water Palace became even more arrogant.
Finally, the young master of the Miao Water Palace, still Niannian the beauty of the Murong mother and daughter, led the people of the Miao Water Palace to attack Murong Estate one night.
Murong Estate also has cultivators offering sacrifices.
Thanks to the magic array once set up by a master, as long as the Palace Master Miao Water Palace doesn't arrive, they can buy enough time for the whole family to use the array to move away.
However, unexpectedly, the magic array malfunctioned that night, and the cultivators responsible for its operation collapsed from poisoning.
Finally, the head of Murong Estate sacrificed his own life to buy time, allowing his wife and daughters to escape the clutches of evil.
But the Murong mother and daughter never expected that those who escorted them, besides Dao Lao San, were actually traitors!
Even at the very last moment, Dao Lao San could not resist the temptation and wanted to have her, who was still charming.
Does Madam Murong hate them?
Jiang Lin glanced at the mature woman beside him and asked.
"I hate them!" Madam Murong clenched her fists tightly. "I hate those ungrateful wretches! I hate those people from the Miao Water Palace! I wish I could tear them to pieces! But..."
As she spoke, Madam Murong's eyes softened.
She raised her head and looked into the distance. After what seemed like an eternity, a faint smile finally appeared on her face, but her eyes held a deep sadness.
"But I'm just an ordinary woman. So what if I hate him? If it weren't for Qin Er, I might have resorted to any means necessary, even selling my body, to kill that young master of the Miao Water Palace!"
However, Qin Er is still young and not yet married. She has already lost her father, and if she loses her mother as well, Qin Er will not be able to bear it.
Young master, don't be fooled by Qin Er's silence; she understands everything in her heart, but she just keeps her sorrow to herself.
Perhaps, the seeds of hatred have already been sown in Qin Er's heart, but I don't want Qin Er to live for hatred...
Hearing Madam Murong's words, Jiang Lin also looked up at the girl sitting on Sheng Yu's back in the air, riding the wind with Niannian and the others.
"Young master, you are not from the Demon Race World, are you? You come from the legendary Vast and Righteous World?"
Just as Jiang Lin was lost in thought, Madam Murong spoke up and asked.
For ordinary mortals, the Vast and Righteous World truly exists only in legends, and is far, far away.
"Mm." Jiang Lin nodded, making no attempt to hide anything.
"I am but a woman, and I have only vaguely heard of such a world; I never imagined it actually existed."
Madam Murong's eyes lit up, a fleeting look of girlish curiosity crossing her face, though it was only for a moment.
"The world must be beautiful to have given birth to such a kind and gentle person as you, young master."
"In terms of scenery, they're actually quite similar," Jiang Lin said slowly. "The Vast and Righteous World also has its share of villains and filthy deeds, but none are as absurd as this world. Perhaps, from the Demon Race World, the Vast and Righteous World is also a kind of absurdity."
"I have something to say, but this world is not a place for you, young master. You are too kind."
"Too kind? I only took money to save you, and that's considered 'too kind'? The Demon Race World is truly fascinating."
Jiang Lin crossed his arms behind his head, a sly smile creeping across his face.
Madam Murong glanced over discreetly, her heart skipping a beat. For some reason, this young man, so enigmatic yet possessing both righteousness and wickedness, did indeed appear even more handsome.
The two continued walking forward. Jiang Lin lost in thought, while Madam Murong did not disturb her benefactor.
In the evening, Jiang Lin left the forest and found a small village to ask for lodging for the night.
Indeed, the villages in the Demon Race World are known for their simple and honest folk customs.
When the women in the courtyard, ranging from eighteen to eighty years old, saw Jiang Lin, their eyes widened in astonishment.
When the men in the courtyard saw Murong and her daughter, they swallowed hard. Niannian and Qing Lian were coveted by many, who seemed to be plotting how to sell these two beauties.
Jiang Lin and his group received a warm welcome and then stayed at the village chief's house.
That night, Jiang Lin's nascent Nascent Soul split into two. The Yin Spirit resided on the roof beam of the room where Murong and her daughter lived, while his true body slept in the same room as Jiu Yi.
As for Brother Sheng Yu, since Jiang Lin Sheng Yu him like a "pet," he fell asleep on the rafters in Niannian and Qing Lian's room...
In the dead of night, as expected, Jiang Lin smelled a bewitching incense, and soon after, the Yin Spirit's clone also felt the same thing.
For Niannian and Qing Lian, this earthly Intoxicating Incense was like sandalwood, having absolutely no effect.
Caught completely off guard, they continued to sleep soundly, embracing each other.
The Murong mother and daughter then fell into a coma.
So the results seem about the same.
Immediately afterwards, the door opened, and several men quietly entered Jiang Lin's room, along with several women.
If Jiang Lin remembered correctly, there were several widows and several married women among them.
This is really speechless.
As expected, the Demon Race World is indeed very open...
However, just as they got into bed and were about to undress Jiang Lin, a sudden pressure weighed on their minds, and they immediately fainted.
Inside the room of the Murong mother and daughter, a flash of sword light streaked past as the men who attempted to take advantage of them stepped within four meters of the bed.
Those men, full of youthful vigor and thinking they could enjoy a good night, all developed a thin, blood-red line on their necks, followed by Chilling Qi entering their bodies, and died instantly.
Someone also went into Niannian's room, carrying ropes, intending to tie Niannian and Qing Lian up and sell them to a nearby city.
Before they could act, a gust of wind swept by, and several high-pressure water jets pierced their bodies.
After the villagers learned that the person they sent had never returned, the village chief, a rather shrewd man, had several women from the village collect the body and wipe away the bloodstains.
The next morning, the village chief, acting as if nothing had happened, showed concern for Jiang Lin and his group.
The village chief even hinted that if Jiang Lin were willing, all the young women in the village would be willing to carry on Jiang Lin bloodline, guaranteeing they would all be virgins.
They didn't even let go of their Sheng Yu.
However, Jiang Lin stated that he was already married, while Sheng Yu preferred birds.
They left the kind-hearted courtyard, leaving behind twenty or thirty taels of silver as lodging expenses and money for the coffins of those people.
The village chief accepted it with a smile, without the slightest resentment.
Jiang Lin asked Madam Murong if she knew about what happened last night.
Madam Murong said she knew and believed that the young master would not let her walk into the lion's den.
Jiang Lin then asked if villages like this were common in the Demon Race World.
Madam Murong replied:
"That's almost always the case."
