Vast Sky Light

The Old Rogue was still wondering, where was the Verdant Green Woman?

He held his sword, looking around, and didn't see any trace of the Verdant Green Woman.

Lu Wan saw Liu Ji looking around and slapped his thigh, saying, "Ah, Big Brother! Why are you still looking for that Woman? She just tried to kill us!"

"What nonsense are you spouting! The Verdant Green Woman is my brother, can my brother harm me? Didn't she say to stay on Mangdang Mountain and send us food and supplies?"

Liu Ji reprimanded, scolding Lu Wan, "Is this trying to kill us? This is because she's afraid we'll go out and die."

Liu Lao San was good with words.

When he said that, quite a few people agreed.

"Whether she wants to kill us or is worried about us, is this the time to dwell on it?"

Lu Wan looked up at the sky and said, "Big Brother, let's go?"

These Heavenly Lightning Clouds were rolling in, clearly unsafe.

"Makes sense!"

The Old Rogue looked at the sky and nodded in agreement.

The group quickly left Mangdang Mountain and headed towards Pei County.

Mangdang Mountain, in a river valley.

Falling Thunder rumbled!

In the center of thousands of Falling Thunders, a frail figure was continuously bombarded by Heavenly Thunder. But even as she was whipped by the endless lightning, she still did not yield.

The Verdant Green Woman's clothes were torn, and her skin was already marked with scorched lightning strike patterns from the Falling Thunder.

Her Azure Scale erupted at the corners of her eyes, and she glared at the sky.

"I am not convinced by you!"

The Snake Girl roared.

"Why must the world follow your Fate!"

"If all of this couldn't be changed, then so be it, but you clearly allowed some changes, so why are you forcefully reversing them!"

"Ying Zheng here, he shouldn't have died!"

"Answer me, Heaven!"

Heaven remained silent, only continuing to unleash Thunder.

The heavens were vast and majestic. Azure Scales gradually appeared on Verdant Green Maiden's brow, and blood trickled down.

The Gourd at her waist was shattered by Heavenly Lightning. Three drops of heart's blood within floated out and dissipated in the lightning. A red bloody light enveloped Verdant Green Maiden entirely.

"Roar--!!"

A beastly roar seemed to emanate from the blood mist.

The Thunder on Mangdang Mountain continued for over a month before gradually ceasing. Liu Ji had already led his men to occupy Fengpei and declared himself Pei Gong.

From then on, rumors spread that the Falling Thunder in this area was an auspicious omen, celebrating Pei Gong's uprising after slaying the white serpent.

As such prophecies emerged, more people flocked to Liu Ji.

Later, at Xiao He's suggestion, he changed his name. He was no longer called Liu Lao San but Liu Bang.

Another legend told of an Immortal Bird descending to the mortal realm, having seen Liu Bang.

The title of Pei Gong thus became even more legendary.

By the Creek Side.

An Old Woman was washing clothes.

A Youth walked over from nearby. Seeing the Old Woman washing clothes, he squatted down beside her. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the Old Woman turn to look at him.

"Han Xin! You're here again? But today, I have nothing to give you to eat."

Upon hearing this, Han Xin immediately shook his head and said, "Han Xin is not here to beg for food!"

The Old Woman sized him up and then smiled.

If you find this book good, remember to add it to your Bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.

After a moment of thought, she said, "How about this: you run an errand for me, and as payment, I'll give you a Cake. What do you say?"

Han Xin nodded and said, "Old Woman, you speak."

The Old Woman took some coins from her pocket, gave them to Han Xin, and said, "Go buy some medicine for me, something to stop bleeding and fade scars. It's inconvenient for me to go alone, so I'll trouble you."

"Old Woman, are you injured?"

Han Xin took the coins and saw the clothes the Old Woman was washing had Bloodstains, his brow furrowing with worry.

The Old Woman shook her head and said, "Of course, it's not me. It's a Little Girl in my Home."

Hearing this, Han Xin became puzzled. He had known the Old Woman for a long time and had never heard of her having a Little Girl at Home.

However, this was her private matter after all. Han Xin didn't ask further and immediately nodded, "Leave this matter to Han Xin."

The old woman smiled and nodded.

After entrusting the task of buying medicine to Han Xin, the old woman returned home with the clothes from the wooden basin.

Inside the simple earthen house, a maiden with fair skin lay quietly on the couch. Even in her coarse cloth and hemp clothes, her peerless beauty could not be concealed.

At this moment, Verdant Green Maiden had a scale-like pattern the size of a grain of rice adorning her brow.

Faintly visible in the strands of hair on either side were dark cyan keratinous protrusions, resembling newly grown deer antlers, yet they were a bit too small.

Seeing the old woman return, Verdant Green Maiden pushed herself up.

The old woman hurried forward, comforting her, "Oh my, Little Immortal Aunt, don't move around, be careful of your wounds."

Verdant Green Maiden was pressed back down by her. She then heard her say, "I've washed your clothes clean. It's a pity so many places on these clothes are damaged, and mending them will be troublesome. I'll go to the county town in a few days to see if anyone can fix them."

"No need to trouble yourself. It's just a piece of clothing. If it's broken, it's broken."

Verdant Green Maiden shook her head. She looked at the old woman and said softly, "You saved me. Thank you."

The old woman waved her hands, flustered, "How dare an Immortal Aunt thank me!"

"I should be thanking you. If you hadn't pulled me out of the stream, I don't know where I would have drifted to."

Verdant Green Maiden smiled, comforting the old woman.

The old woman no longer refused Verdant Green Maiden's thanks. She continued, "Right, I've already asked someone to buy medicine for you, Little Immortal Aunt. These wounds on your body need to be properly treated with medicine."

Hearing this, Verdant Green Maiden frowned. Although she hadn't bought medicine before, she understood that medicine was not cheap at this time.

She continued, "My injuries will heal quickly. Hurry and get the money back!"

The old woman still didn't believe her, but Verdant Green Maiden rolled up her sleeve. Her injuries from the lightning strike on her arm had already healed by more than half.

Seeing this, the old woman finally believed Verdant Green Maiden. However, she still did not listen to Verdant Green Maiden and go to get the money back.

Verdant Green Maiden asked, "Who did you ask to buy the medicine?"

"It's a lad from around here, named Han Xin! Don't worry, Immortal Aunt, he's reliable."

The old woman said to Verdant Green Maiden. But upon hearing the name Han Xin, Verdant Green Maiden fell silent. For a moment, she seemed dazed and subconsciously asked, "Who?"

"Han Xin. What? Little Immortal Aunt, do you know him?"

The old woman repeated.

Verdant Green Maiden paused, then suddenly smiled. She said, "Old Woman, when he comes, ask him to see me."

Although the old woman didn't know why Verdant Green Maiden wanted to see Han Xin, she didn't think much of it and nodded in agreement.

It took Han Xin a long while to arrive.

When he did, his expression wasn't good, and his clothes were covered in dust.

Seeing him like this, the Old Woman frowned and asked with concern, "Han Xin, what's wrong? Did you fall? Are you injured?"

Han Xin shook his head. He handed the herbs in his hand to the Old Woman and cupped his fists, saying, "Han Xin bids farewell!"

"Hey, hey, Han Xin, wait!"

The Old Woman quickly grabbed him, saying, "Someone wants to see you."

"See me?"

Han Xin was taken aback. He gave the Old Woman a strange look.

The Old Woman glanced around and whispered to Han Xin, "It's a Little Immortal Aunt. Just follow me, and don't ask too many questions."

If you can't find the book by its name, you can try searching by the author. Perhaps they just changed the name!
