Spare His Corpse—Isn't That Letting Him Go?

Qingshan Town.

This was a small town located on the outskirts of the Magical Beast Mountain Range. Most of its residents depended on the mountain range for their livelihood.

After all, the Magical Beast Mountain Range never lacked all kinds of medicinal herbs, enough for the townspeople to live comfortably on this land.

Xiao Chuan flew over on Dou Qi Wings, landing in the town in an instant before wandering through its bustling streets.

After strolling around for a while, he lost interest and stopped three innocent-looking young women who were out shopping. "Excuse me, do you know a girl named Xiao Yi Xian?"

The three women exchanged glances. One of them answered, "Yes, Xiao Yi Xian is a physician at the Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion. We've gone to her for treatment before."

"Thank you."

Xiao Chuan followed up, "Could you tell me how to get to the Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion?"

The innocent young woman glanced at Xiao Chuan's handsome face and said shyly, "We happen to be going to the Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion. I'll take you there!"

"Alright."

Xiao Chuan gave her a warm smile.

However, the three women froze upon seeing his smile. What a handsome young man!!

"Come with us..."

The three women walked ahead, stealing glances at Xiao Chuan from time to time before shyly looking away.

"It's fine, you can look openly. I even have abs. Do you want to touch them?" Xiao Chuan teasingly undid his robe.

The three women's cheeks turned even redder. They covered their eyes and did not dare look, yet their fingers unanimously left gaps between them.

"You're really looking?"

Xiao Chuan smiled. "Watch where you're going. You're about to run into someone."

Only then did the three women realize it. When they immediately turned back, they saw several dissolute men approaching from the opposite direction.

"Young Master, we may not be able to take you there." The three women threw out those words and were about to leave, but the dissolute men surrounded them.

"Don't leave in such a hurry. We're about to go drinking. How about the three of you keep us company?"

The leader was the Handsome Youth. Though he did not look as lecherous as the guards, his face was filled with ill intent.

The innocent young woman in the middle cautiously replied, "Young Leader, we have other matters to attend to. Please forgive us for being unable to accompany you."

"What? Is whatever you need to do more important than accompanying me, the Young Leader?" The Handsome Youth immediately darkened his expression, completely different from his previously amiable appearance.

The three women did not dare say another word. The man before them was the Young Leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group.

The Wolf Head Mercenary Group was practically the local overlord. No one dared provoke them, or the consequences would be miserable.

"Young Leader Mu, could you give me some face and let them go?" A pleasant voice rang out.

Everyone turned around, and Mu Li's gaze quickly landed on a serene young woman.

"So it's Xiao Yi Xian. I can let them go, but you have to accompany me for drinks today."

Xiao Yi Xian carried a crossbody cloth bag. Even when faced with Mu Li's blatant gaze, she showed no fear. "Young Leader Mu, many of your Wolf Head Mercenary Group brothers were treated by me. Aren't you afraid your father will blame you?"

The first reason she dared to confront Mu Li was her status. What Qingshan Town lacked most were physicians, especially for mercenary groups. Injuries were inevitable when they went out to gather medicinal herbs, so they would certainly need physicians to treat them when they returned.

Xiao Yi Xian was the finest physician in Qingshan Town. By now, she had become every mercenary's lifeline.

"Using my father to threaten me?" Mu Li raised an arm and pointed at Xiao Yi Xian. "You want me to let them go? Fine. The next time we enter the Magical Beast Mountain Range to gather medicinal herbs, you must go in with our Wolf Head Mercenary Group!"

Xiao Yi Xian frowned slightly. She felt that this was a planned scheme meant to lure her in.

Mu Li laughed smugly. This time, they were heading deep into the Magical Beast Mountain Range and absolutely needed a physician to accompany them. Xiao Yi Xian's medical skills were superb, so the Wolf Head Mercenary Group wanted to bring her along.

"Your calculations are practically hitting me in the face." Xiao Chuan had been standing there with his arms folded, watching the show. Seeing Xiao Yi Xian caught in a dilemma, he felt it was time for the protagonist to make his entrance.

Looking at the soft and delicate Xiao Yi Xian, he said, "I'll only ask you three questions. Answer them honestly."

"What questions?"

Xiao Yi Xian did not understand, while Mu Li continued smiling as though he were merely watching a show.

Xiao Chuan smiled faintly. "Are they good people or bad people?"

Before Xiao Yi Xian could answer, the three women behind her hurriedly said, "They're all bad people!!"

"What do you think?"

Xiao Chuan looked down at Xiao Yi Xian. The collagen in her face gave him the urge to pinch her cheeks.

At that moment, he suddenly thought of the Battle Through the Heavens animation. That trash character modeling had completely ruined Xiao Yi Xian.

Although Xiao Yi Xian was not exceptionally beautiful, she was definitely outstanding among ordinary people, far prettier than Xiao Mei.

"They can't really be called good people."

Xiao Yi Xian meant that they counted as bad people.

"Then if I kill them, would that count as eliminating harm for the people?" Xiao Chuan lowered his head slightly and moved closer to Xiao Yi Xian's little face. Her bright eyes flickered, and she quickly turned her head away in panic.

Xiao Yi Xian suddenly took a step back. Her little heart pounded rapidly, and a blush slowly rose on her cheeks.

As a man, how could Mu Li fail to see that Xiao Chuan was teasing Xiao Yi Xian?

Otherwise, why would he move so close just to talk!?

"Get away from her!" Mu Li stepped forward, raising a hand to grab Xiao Chuan and throw him aside.

But!

Xiao Chuan did not even look at him. He merely raised a finger and pointed at him, his tone carrying an icy chill. "Did I tell you to come over?"

Mu Li's legs suddenly went weak. It was as though a massive mountain had appeared above his head, instantly crushing him until he could barely breathe.

The next moment, he dropped to his knees before Xiao Chuan and Xiao Yi Xian with a thud. Veins bulged from his palms as they sank viciously into the dirt.

Xiao Yi Xian and the others held their breath. It had happened so suddenly that they were completely caught off guard.

They quickly realized that the Youth before them was definitely an expert. Otherwise, mere pressure from his presence could never have forced Mu Li to kneel.

"You still haven't answered me."

Xiao Chuan returned to his bright, sunlike smile, as though he were not the one who had just coldly shouted at Mu Li.

Xiao Yi Xian was unsure whether Xiao Chuan would slaughter the entire Wolf Head Mercenary Group, so naturally, she would not answer his question.

That would be inviting disaster upon herself.

The first reason Xiao Yi Xian could survive in Qingshan Town was her ability; the second was that she was smart enough.

Xiao Chuan smiled. "I understand. Silence is the best answer."

"..."

Xiao Yi Xian was stunned.

The guards behind Mu Li hurriedly said, "My lord, we are members of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group. He is our Young Leader. Please show mercy and spare our Young Leader!"

If anything happened to Mu Li here, none of them would escape blame. Their leader would not let them off.

"Sure. Then take me to your Wolf Head Mercenary Group." Xiao Chuan turned around and kicked Mu Li away. "Take his corpse back first."

"???"

Everyone's eyes widened.

"My lord, didn't you say you would spare our Young Leader? Why are you going back on your word?"

Xiao Chuan shrugged and asked, "That's right. I never said what I would spare him from. Can't I spare his corpse?"
