Blame Her for Being Too Moist

"What is it?"

Lin Suchou glanced at her cautiously and asked.

He was afraid that the moment he walked over, three burly men would leap out of the grass.

"I was chased by a Spirit Beast. I barely managed to escape its territory, but now I'm injured and can't walk."

After saying that, the red-skirted girl put on a pitiful expression.

Lin Suchou eyed her suspiciously and silently asked the system, Does she meet the requirements?

"Scanning this girl... Her face is far too commonplace, her makeup is too heavy, and she has had too many male companions for intimate exchanges... The system recommends choosing another batch."

Hearing the system's words, Lin Suchou turned and left without the slightest hesitation.

Seeing that Lin Suchou had no intention of approaching her, the Red Dress Woman gritted her teeth and shouted, "If Young Master is willing to save me, this humble one will certainly reward you handsomely! I have Spirit Artifacts, pills, even a map of the Spirit Road!"

Only then did Lin Suchou stop.

A map?

That was a good thing. Ordinary people did not have one; only descendants of prominent families or preselected disciples of the Five Great Academies possessed them.

Since he had not encountered anyone in so many days, Lin Suchou decided to go over and take a look.

Still, he kept his guard up.

"Thank you, Young Master."

When she saw Lin Suchou approach, the red-skirted girl said gratefully, "This humble one is called Momo. May I ask Young Master's name?"

Momo?

Then I'm Tantan, damn it!

Lin Suchou grumbled inwardly before asking, "Who I am isn't important. But you said you have a map of the Spirit Road. Could you show it to me first?"

"Yes, yes. Please wait a moment, Young Master."

The red-skirted girl called Momo nodded hurriedly. She raised her right hand, and a flash of white light came from the black ring on her ring finger. A parchment map tied with a red cord appeared in her hand.

"A Spirit Storage Ring?"

Lin Suchou looked at her in surprise. It seemed that everyone who could enter the Spirit Road had money.

Unlike him, a poor bastard who had nothing.

After taking the map, Lin Suchou unfolded it. At that moment, he used a crucial skill he had brought from his previous life—Squint!

His right eye stared straight ahead, while his left eye looked toward the red-skirted girl to his left, keeping watch in case she tried to ambush him.

He had developed this divine skill as a child from reading novels sideways. Since it had not affected his life much, he had never corrected it.

He had not expected it to come in handy now.

When Momo, sitting on the rock, saw Lin Suchou's face turn idiotic-looking because of his mismatched eyes, she nearly burst out laughing.

But in order to kill him and take his belongings, she concealed it well and secretly pulled the Dagger hidden in her sleeve into her right hand.

Using this trick, she had already obtained the Blood Tokens of three people. It had worked every time.

Yet just as she raised her hand to stab Lin Suchou in the chest, the Youth before her struck first.

With a flying kick from his right leg, he sent her Dagger flying, then clamped his left hand around her throat.

"Hmph, demoness. I saw long ago that there was something wrong with you!"

"Y-Young Master, this humble one was w-wrong... I can serve you like an ox or horse. Can you spare m-my life?"

"You don't know you were wrong. You only know you're about to die."

Lin Suchou looked at her with disgust and tightened his left hand once more. With a crisp crack, the girl breathed her last.

After killing the girl, Lin Suchou's body began to tremble slightly. He had killed so many Spirit Beasts, but when it came to killing a person, he still felt sick and wanted to vomit. It was deeply uncomfortable.

But these past few days had also made him understand the law of the jungle even more clearly.

After sitting on the rock for a while to recover, Lin Suchou began searching for loot.

He turned her body over and over, but the only thing he found was the sharp Dagger in his hand.

"She's so well-endowed, yet she doesn't have anything good."

Lin Suchou curled his lip and removed the Spirit Storage Ring from her finger.

Looking at the black Spirit Storage Ring, Lin Suchou copied what she had done and dripped a drop of blood onto it. Soon, he formed a connection with the Spirit Storage Ring.

When he sent his consciousness into the ring, he discovered that there were actually four Blood Tokens inside.

Aside from that, there were several sets of men's clothes, several Spirit Arts, several weapons, and a collection of bottles and jars containing poison and antidotes.

Other than those few Mortal-tier Spirit Arts, none of the other items were worth much.

Spirit Arts were divided into Mortal-tier, Spirit-tier, and Divine Spirit Arts, with each tier further divided into high, middle, and low grades.

Spirit Artifacts, on the other hand, were divided into low-grade, middle-grade, high-grade, and Peerless-tier Spirit Artifacts. God-tier Spirit Artifacts began at God-tier Low-grade and above.

Among these Spirit Artifacts, only one longsword was a low-grade Spirit Artifact. Though it was the lowest rank of Spirit Artifact, it was still worth hundreds of thousands of Spirit Coins.

Judging by the number of Blood Tokens, Lin Suchou estimated that this woman had probably killed three young men.

"Damn, she really is a demoness."

Lin Suchou grumbled as he pulled out a set of decent-looking clothes and put them on.

He sniffed them. Mm, there was only a faint scent of soapberry.

After changing on the spot, Lin Suchou picked up his dagger and continued onward.

Don't ask why he hadn't looked for something to block the view. He wasn't a woman like Wu Yingying.

So what if someone saw? It wasn't like a piece of flesh would fall off.

What was the big deal? They were all buddies.

With the map, Lin Suchou finally used the density of the tree rings to determine his direction.

The five Guardian Lands were arranged in the shape of a pentagram, scattered throughout different locations along the Spirit Road.

The closest ones to Lin Suchou were the Fourth and Fifth Guardian Lands.

According to his memories, Luo Li had gone to the Fourth Guardian Land, while Mu Chen had gone to the Fifth.

Lin Suchou headed toward the Fourth Guardian Land.

Mu Chen, don't blame your brother for being ruthless. Luo Li was just too delectable.

What followed was a long journey. Along the way, Lin Suchou encountered a late-stage Spirit Movement Realm spirit beast and successfully broke through to a Level 2 Spirit Body.

His combat experience had also improved.

Boom, boom.

Hearing the sound of beast hooves near his ears, Lin Suchou opened his sleepy eyes.

He looked at the sky. Dawn had only just broken, and the sun had not even risen yet.

Looks like I should find somewhere quieter to sleep next time.

Thinking this, Lin Suchou decided to get up and take a look.

Following the sound, he leaped and weaved through the branches like a nimble monkey before finally arriving at the edge of a cliff.

Looking to the left, he saw a herd of bovine spirit beasts. The white Savage Bull at their head was even a high-grade spirit beast.

Ahead of the herd, a young girl clad in a Golden Battle Skirt was fleeing in disarray.

But with cliffs all around her, she had no choice now but to keep running forward.

"System, is this woman suitable to be my bandit queen?"

Having spent the past few days living in the wilderness, Lin Suchou felt like Tarzan. If he didn't crack a joke when he spoke, everything felt too dreary.

Besides, he had not spoken with anyone in a long time.

"Ding! Scanning the woman. Appearance meets the requirements, talent meets the requirements, background meets the requirements, virginity... Scan complete. She meets the conditions to be a Goddess!"

The moment the system finished speaking, Lin Suchou took out a soft whip from his Spirit Storage Ring and descended along the protrusions in the cliff face.

He eventually reached a horizontally growing tree. After wrapping the whip around it, he suddenly dropped down and ended up hanging in midair.

"Grab my hand!"

The fleeing girl looked at Lin Suchou on the cliff wall ahead. Gritting her silver teeth, she took a running start and leaped, her delicate hand catching hold of his wrist.

Lin Suchou tightened his grip, planted his feet against the cliff face, and accelerated. With one final flip, he elegantly brought both himself and the woman safely onto the branch.

"Huff, huff."

The girl, relieved to have survived the disaster, panted rapidly. Her ample chest rose and fell with every breath.

"Miss, what's your name?"

"Wen Qingxuan, of the Northern Region Wen Family."

Hearing the girl announce her name, Lin Suchou's eyelids twitched.

No wonder she seemed familiar. So it was her...
