Three Shrimp-Headed Men

When Bo Saixi was scooped up by Long Xiao, she was completely stunned. But after coming to her senses, she hurriedly formed a blue barrier to block the rain of filth.

Drip, drip!

The rain of filth had fallen into every corner of the sect.

Long Xiao's heart shattered at the sight.

This sect was done for!

Why did those three idiots have to blow up the latrine pit? That was the accumulated essence of the sun and moon from who knew how many years at Black Mountain Stronghold.

In an instant, the entire sect reeked to high heaven.

Near the latrine.

"Chen Xin! Qian Daoliu, are you sick in the head?!"

Gu Rong was covered from head to toe in droplets of filth. Since he had been standing inside the pit, he had taken the greatest damage.

"How were we supposed to know it was you? We asked, but you wouldn't answer. Were you treasure-hunting in the latrine or something?"

Qian Daoliu immediately retorted, making it clear that he would not take the blame. He himself had also been splattered with some grime.

Chen Xin was rendered speechless by the two of them.

"Oh! I get it now. You must have wanted to study how I become stronger by using the latrine." A flash of inspiration struck Qian Daoliu, and he pointed at Gu Rong in sudden realization.

"N-No!"

Gu Rong, having been exposed, flushed bright red and hurriedly denied it.

"Hmph. You're a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect elder, yet you have no eye for these things. If you want to grow stronger, all you need to do is lick the sect master's boots."

Qian Daoliu adopted the air of an elder as he lectured Gu Rong.

Pinching his nose, Chen Xin said, "Stop arguing. Now that you've made such a mess, think about how we're going to explain this to the sect master. And hurry up and wash yourselves. You stink to death."

Qian Daoliu nodded. "True. This stuff has defiled my holy Six-Winged Angel."

Meanwhile, Long Xiao hid behind Bo Saixi. When the rain of filth finally stopped, he let out a sigh of relief.

Bo Saixi lowered her head to look at the arms wrapped around her waist, her face turning rosy.

Only then did Long Xiao notice that he was holding Bo Saixi.

He gave her soft, plump waist two squeezes, then secretly chuckled. "Xixi, your waist is so soft and squishy. It feels really nice to hold."

Hearing that, Bo Saixi became endlessly bashful. "Sect Master... how can you say something like that?"

Long Xiao inhaled the fragrant scent of her hair.

For a moment, he found himself unwilling to let go.

Bibi Dong pouted from the side. Wasn't her waist soft too?

The sect master was far too biased.

"By the way, can you clean up the sect?" Long Xiao suddenly asked.

"I'll try."

Bo Saixi took out Sea God's Scepter and cast a spell, blue spiritual energy sweeping across the sect.

But her brows remained tightly furrowed.

"Sect Master, after my soul power was assimilated into spiritual energy, all the effects of my soul skills disappeared. I can only purify the air and remove the smell. There's no way to wash away the filth itself."

"Alright."

Long Xiao sighed, then reluctantly released that incredibly soft waist.

After a while.

Qian Daoliu and the other two came to accept punishment.

"Very good. You're all grown men, yet you were playing with shit. You really are three shrimp-headed men!"

Long Xiao berated them outright.

After they had caused this, could the sect still be used?

Bo Saixi and Bibi Dong also looked at the three of them with utter disgust. They were truly an embarrassment to the Spirit World.

They did not want to know them.

"By the way, Sect Master, what does 'shrimp-headed man' mean?" Bibi Dong suddenly asked in confusion.

"Uh... it means a man who has done something bad."

The two women immediately looked enlightened.

Bibi Dong promptly said, "The sect master is right. You three really are shrimp-headed men. What normal person blows up a latrine pit?"

Qian Daoliu and the other two lowered their heads, not daring to refute her.

Those two women were relying on the sect master's favor. They had it easy, standing there without having to do anything.

Then, they explained that they had mistaken Gu Rong for a spy from Qing City Lord's Manor, which was why they had caused such a disaster.

They also told Long Xiao that Qing City Lord's Manor was planning to suppress the bandits.

"Oh?"

After hearing them out, Long Xiao did not pursue their responsibility for the time being. Instead, he fell into thought.

"If we can subdue the City Lord's Manor, wouldn't that give us free labor?"

He had been worrying about how little he knew of this region.

Some broad plans for construction began to form in his mind. He did not believe the lord of a small city could be all that capable.

At worst, he could use the Tianyuan Cultivation Card and go develop in a new place.

Once he broke through to the Diegang Realm, he could summon incarnations of experts from even stronger planes.

Meanwhile, the bandit-suppression plan caused a huge stir throughout Azure City.

By evening, nearly a thousand men had signed up.

This was enough to show just how much Azure City's people hated those bandits.

Not only did they rob hunting parties heading into the mountains, they even helped passing women become pregnant...

A young girl of around sixteen or seventeen stood atop the city wall, watching the crowd that had come to enlist.

She wore a white martial robe. Her features were delicate, yet she possessed a valiant air.

"Young Miss, this operation is too dangerous. Perhaps you should not go," an old servant quietly urged.

The girl shook her head. "No. This is the first battle since my father took office. I have to help."

"Besides, this young miss is a genius who has reached the Ninth Layer of Body Tempering. My father is also an expert at the first level of the Tiangang Realm. That bandit leader is only at the Ninth Layer of the Diegang Realm. What is there to fear?"

Seeing how resolute the girl was, the old servant stopped trying to dissuade her.

For this bandit-suppression campaign, the new Azure City Lord would personally lead the force. At least on the surface, their current strength was more than enough to deal with the bandits.
