Lin Shiyin

"Hmph, just stay put and behave. I'm only feeling a little weak because I'm not in good condition right now. It's not like I can't lift a sword." Watching Li Hao push aside the curtain and leap out of the carriage, Ning Zhongze couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing.

"Sister Ning, what are you laughing at?" Yi Lin also had dark circles under her eyes. Seeing Ning Zhongze stifling a laugh, she couldn't help asking curiously.

Li Hao had originally wanted Ning Zhongze to call Yi Lin "Sister," but Yi Lin had stubbornly refused.

She used to be someone Yi Lin had to call Martial Aunt Ning. If her master found out she was calling her "Sister," she'd probably get a vicious beating.

"I'm laughing at these young people. How come they're so easily provoked?"

Li Hao naturally knew what Ning Zhongze meant, and he also knew she'd offered to help him. But he was a grown man—if he let a woman step in for him, wouldn't that be an embarrassment to his reputation as The Amorous Swordsman?

"Hey, fatso over there! What the hell are you blocking the road for? Move your ass, or don't blame me if my sword leaves you in pieces!" Li Hao strode in front of the carriage and shouted arrogantly.

"Young Master, what does 'my sword leaves you in pieces' mean?" one of the knights who'd just been beaten asked in a quiet voice.

"You don't even know what 'in pieces' means? I keep telling you to read more, but all you do is sneak off to brothels." Li Hao scolded him, exasperated.

[Ever since I started following you, we've been traveling every day. When would I have time to read or visit a brothel?] The knight was berated until he was utterly cowed, but he didn't dare talk back. He could only grumble silently to himself.

"Ah! You brat, are you tired of living? How dare you talk to your Grandpa Yue like that! State your name. Second Yue doesn't kill nameless nobodies!" the short, stocky man across from him roared.

His already ugly features were scrunched up with rage, making him look even more hideous. He was simply painful to look at!

"Second Yue? I've heard of Ye Erniang and Yue Laosan, but never Second Yue!" Li Hao rubbed his chin. The ugly man before him seemed to match someone in his memories.

The third-ranked member of the Four Evils, the South Sea Crocodile God, Yue Laosan.

"Kid, you've heard of me?" Yue Laosan was stunned.

The group usually operated around Dali and rarely ventured south, especially to Jiangnan. This was his first time here.

He hadn't expected his reputation to be so great that someone in Jiangnan could recognize him at a glance.

So I may not be in Jiangnan, but Jiangnan is full of my legends.

"I told you, I've heard of Yue Laosan, not Second Yue." Li Hao knew Yue Laosan's temperament and thought he'd have some fun teasing him.

At the same time, Li Hao couldn't help sighing at his lousy luck. On the road, he'd run into flower thieves, bandits, and bullies—and now he'd run into a supervillain.

If only he'd bound himself to some kind of Ultimate Good Person System. His martial arts would probably be invincible by now.

"Yah yah yah! Since you've never heard of Second Yue, I'll show you just how formidable I am today!" Yue Laosan flew into a rage. He hated being called Third Yue more than anything, yet that brat kept calling him Third Yue over and over.

It would've been bad enough to call him Third Yue, but the brat was also so damn handsome. That was more than even an uncle could bear—never mind an aunt! Today, he'd make the brat understand that he was the true Second of the Four Evils.

Yue Laosan's crocodile shears were immensely heavy, but he wielded them effortlessly, as if they were extensions of his arms. Every snip came down with tremendous force, strong enough to split stone and smash through monuments.

But Li Hao was no ordinary man. His lightness skill was unrivaled under heaven, and even Qiao Feng and Li Xunhuan had praised it. How could a master like Yue Laosan, who relied on overpowering force, ever land a hit on him?

"Wheeze... you... little bastard! If... you've got the guts... stop running... and let your Grandpa Yue... teach you... how to behave!" After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Second Yue was panting so hard he could barely stand.

"Heh, you? You can't even touch the hem of your Grandpa Li's robe, and you still call yourself Grandpa? Leave one of your five limbs behind, and you can go. You can pick which one." Li Hao shouted arrogantly.

Yue Laosan might be pretty strong, but his reputation was too vile. Li Hao couldn't risk keeping him around.

Besides, the system had only told him to be a villain, not a monster.

"Brother, what are the five limbs?" the bruised and swollen knight behind Li Hao asked his companion.

"Listen to Young Master. Go to fewer brothels and read more. As for the fifth limb..." His companion didn't answer. He just stared at the knight's crotch.

"I get it, I get it." The knight waved both hands, showing his companion that he really did understand.

Young Master was terrifying. Was he seriously going to send someone to the imperial palace to become a eunuch at the drop of a hat?

"Wah! You've gone too far, brat! A man can be killed, but not humiliated! I'll fight you!" Yue Laosan charged over with his huge shears.

Li Hao didn't feel like dragging things out with him, so he simply circled behind Yue Laosan and kicked him in the butt.

The kick landed squarely, throwing Yue Laosan off balance and sending him sprawling to the ground.

"Whoa, Yue Laosan! I never knew you were so skilled in Qingcheng Sect martial arts! Your 'Wild Goose Falling Flat on Its Face' technique is absolutely flawless!" Li Hao clapped and cheered. The knights behind him burst out laughing too.

As for Yi Lin and Ning Zhongze inside the carriage, they covered their mouths and laughed as well. Their man could be so cutting.

At the thought, Ning Zhongze's pretty face turned red again. This little lecher really knew how to have fun!

She'd been with Yue Buqun for over ten years and they hadn't even kissed.

But after spending a month or so with Li Hao, even two mouths hadn't been enough.

[ Ding! System alert: The radar has detected a member of the Compendium of Beautiful Women in the Martial World nearby, and she is in mortal danger. ]

[ Ding! Lin Shiyin, Compendium of Beautiful Women in the Martial World ranking: 116. Measurements: 96, 60, 92. Host, seize your chance. ]

[ Uh, Big Brother System, Lin Shiyin is my second brother Li Xunhuan's cousin, and the woman he loves most. Isn't it a little... ]

[ Host, please understand your own identity. You are a supervillain, while Li Xunhuan is a Child of Fortune. By rights, you are destined to be enemies. ]

[ It's just that you exploited a bug earlier and completed a hidden quest. Lin Shiyin is Li Xunhuan's cousin and Long Xiaoyun's wife. If you steal her away, you'll become Li Xunhuan's brother-in-law. You'll be even closer than before. Then, if you ever run into trouble... ]

[ System, don't be so narrow-minded. I'm not going to see Lin Shiyin to collect another member of the Gallery of Beauties. I'm going entirely to comfort her lonely, yearning heart on behalf of my second brother. ] Li Hao looked up at the sky, wearing an expression of boundless compassion.

But in his heart, he was thinking: Should he use Yin Yang Hehuan Powder or I Love a Firewood Stick? Or maybe Super Meng Han Powder would do...
