I Once Had a Job...
The Spirit Hall personnel were Petrification Technique in place, as if petrified.
Bai Chenxiang was also stunned; she glanced at Hu Liena's suggestive posture—
Is this something I can see?!
"Sir," the bolder man stammered, "Do you know this Xiao Bai...?"
"Hmm?" Hu Liena tilted her head, her fox tail flicking slightly.
"Do you know this gentleman?" the boldest among them changed their answer to.
"Hmph," Hu Liena shoved the bell into Ye Hua's mouth, "If he were Xiao Bai, there would be no humans left in this world."
As she spoke, her fox tail wrapped around Ye Hua's waist, the tip of which restlessly darted into the hem of his clothes.
"Listen carefully," Hu Liena said with a stern look, "This gentleman is Ye Hua, the leader of the Long Night Alliance!"
The air suddenly froze.
The Spirit Hall personnel who had been shouting just moments before felt as if they had been doused with ice water!
The leader of the Long Night Alliance?!
Ye Hua, who fought his way out of Spirit City, clashed Abyss in the Far North Forest, and even the Great Enshrined Qian Daoliu had to be wary of?
"As for what happened today," Hu Liena said with a wicked smile, "You can pretend you didn't see it."
"If I find out anyone has been gossiping when we get back..."
The Spirit Hall personnel immediately knelt down, their heads banging loudly.
"Rest assured, Your Majesty!"
"I didn't see anything!"
Are you kidding me? Only someone with a brain bulging out would go against him!
But just then, a groan came from the ground.
Everyone looked down and saw the Deacon prop himself up.
What a coincidence, she's facing away from Ye Hua.
His fingers trembled. "You dare hit me? You're all finished!"
"I, the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, am in Dragonrise City!"
"When she finds out, you will all die!"
Ye Hua raised an eyebrow.
Hu Liena raised an eyebrow as well.
Bai Chenxiang covered her face.
The kneeling Spirit Hall members all kept their eyes down, seemingly oblivious to their surroundings.
"Say something!" the Deacon shouted when his underlings weren't cooperating. "Are you mute?!"
"Don't think that just because he's strong, he can do whatever he wants!"
"In the face of power, money and strength are nothing but ashes!"
"No matter how good you are at fighting, you still need connections to survive in this world!"
"Deacon..." a kind person reminded him.
"Shut up!" the Deacon arrogantly. "As long as the Holy Maiden comes, I can make that Xiao Bai kneel down and call me daddy!"
"Assaulting law enforcement officers is punishable by up to ten years in prison."
"Obstructing the Spirit Hall from performing its duties, add another ten years;"
"Those who attacked unofficial members of the Spirit Hall, E Kao and Tianya, will receive another ten years."
"Protecting suspects from the Speed Clan, add another twenty years;"
"For damaging the prestige of the Spirit Hall, an additional fifty years' imprisonment will be imposed, and all personal property will be confiscated."
"Since the Holy Maiden is present, then let's punish the most serious offenders, exterminate their entire families, and demonstrate the might of the Spirit Hall!"
The Deacon declared arrogantly, "This is the power of the Spirit Hall!"
"Is that so?" Ye Hua's eyes narrowed slightly. "I'm not convinced."
"You're not convinced? Take it!"
"Dare to plead your case? I'll break your legs!"
"Hehehe!"
Ye Hua smiled enigmatically, "So, Your Excellency wields such great power?"
"Hahahaha! Of course!"
"This is the allure of power!"
The Deacon laughed and turned around.
The Deacon froze.
The Deacon rubbed his eyes.
"Your Holiness?!" The Deacon stared in disbelief. "How come you're with this Xiao Bai?"
"Ye Hua, he called you Xiao Bai." Hu Liena blinked.
Ye Hua?!
Thump!!!
"Dad, I was wrong!"
Hu Liena's eyes flashed with a cold light as she looked at the obediently kneeling Deacon.
"Who gave you permission to hire street thugs and operate under the banner of the Spirit Hall?"
The Deacon kowtowed repeatedly, "No, Your Holiness!"
"Your subordinate would never dare! You would never dare!"
"Heh," Hu Liena sneered, "Who are those two people on the ground?"
"Dressed like that, who else could it be but a thug?"
"This..." The Deacon felt like he wanted to die.
"But they didn't do anything wrong, did they?"
Seeing that the Deacon wouldn't shed a tear until he saw the coffin, the tea stall owner stepped forward.
"Sir," he leaned closer, "Quite the opposite!"
"These two are utterly wicked and have committed heinous crimes!"
"Today we'll offer free shopping, tomorrow we'll smash up the merchants, and the day after tomorrow we'll take down the little girl from all sides!"
"Last month, the cloth shop next door to me was completely smashed to pieces because they couldn't pay protection money!"
"They're nothing but bandits!"
The Deacon stared in disbelief, "You bastard!"
"I am completely innocent!"
Alas, the Tianya E Kao, and the heavens and men are filled with resentment.
The surrounding stall owners then came forward to share their experiences.
Hu Liena's face darkened. "Effective today, you are relieved of your position Deacon."
"Your identity as a member of the Spirit Hall will be preserved. Go back and accept your punishment!"
The Deacon turned deathly pale and collapsed to the ground. "Holy Maiden! I was wrong!"
"Please give me another chance! I have elderly parents and young children to support..."
"Shut up!" Hu Liena interrupted him. "Get out!"
Before the Deacon could say anything more, his former underlings pounced on him and covered his mouth.
They dragged and pulled him away!
E Kao and Tianya were also dragged away; to be precise, their corpses were dragged away.
Bai Chenxiang kept her mouth open the whole time, her eyes practically sparkling.
Hu Liena saw Bai Chenxiang and nuzzled Ye Hua, "What, you've only been gone a few days and you already have a new love interest?"
Seeing that she was looking at her, Bai Chenxiang timidly raised her hand, "I am Bai Chenxiang of the Speed Clan!"
"The Night Alliance Leader is new here, and my grandfather asked me to show him around!"
Hu Liena chuckled. "Don't be nervous, I don't eat people."
As she spoke, she took the bell back from Ye Hua's mouth with her mouth and tied it back to her ankle.
Ye Hua patted her tail, "Come on, what are you doing in Dragonrise City?"
Hu Liena pouted, "Don't even mention it! My brother Xie Yue, and Yan, were thrown into the Maze Grand Canyon by our teacher for training after they lost the Soul Master Tournament."
"We were supposed to be out in five years, but we've already gone six months overtime. The teacher wants us to come to the Rift to meet him!"
"Us?" Ye Hua keenly noticed.
"Hmm," Hu Liena tilted her head, "Qian Renxue is here too, along with eight Soul Douluo and twenty Soul Saint."
"The Maze Grand Canyon is no safe place. The teacher is worried about something going wrong, so he's sent some people to hide there."
Ye Hua's eyes flickered slightly.
Is Qian Renxue also in Dragonrise City?
Given her conflict with Bibi Dong, wouldn't she help?
"Let's not talk about that now," Hu Liena said regretfully, getting up. "We still have a long way to go."
"The Maze Grand Canyon is in the southwest of the Star Luo Empire, quite far from here."
"Okay," Ye Hua nodded, "If you can't solve it, call me through the microphone."
"Okay!"
Seeing Hu Liena leave amidst the sound of bells, Ye Hua also stood up.
"Let's go back too."
But when he reached the gate of the camp, Ye Hua suddenly stopped.
A luxurious carriage was parked in front of the camp—it was Tang San's ride!
"They arrived quickly." Ye Hua's eyes narrowed slightly.
He raised his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.
Without alerting anyone, he led the group towards the back hall.
But as I passed through the hall, I could faintly hear the sounds of an argument coming from inside.
"Old gorilla, are you trying to give me face?"
"I thought she was your granddaughter-in-law, but it turns out she's actually the son of Clear Sky Douluo?"
"Old Rhino, don't be impulsive..." Tai Tan tried to make amends.
"Get lost!" Niu Gao roared, "I'm not blind!"
"She! Is clearly a girl!"
"What! You want to hold your great-grandchild and you're afraid I'll get jealous, so you're lying to me!"
