" Tsundere Crane?!"
The Cloud Retainer immediately settled in Bengbu.
"You little brat, how dare you call me that! You'll be sorry!"
The Cloud Retainer bristled, flapping its wings wildly at Jiang Xiaofeng.
Shenhe had no choice but to grab Cloud Retainer and apologize to Jiang Xiaofeng.
"Sorry, Master, you're all bark and no bite. Please understand."
Jiang Xiaofeng shrugged. "I don't see where the soft-heartedness is..."
It took a while for Cloud Retainer to calm down.
"This isn't about matchmaking."
"However, if Shenhe is willing, I can act as matchmaker and Shenhe him to you."
Jiang Xiaofeng: "..."
"I have no objection."
Where is Shenhe?
"Shouldn't we consider her opinion?"
The Cloud Retainer calmly said, "Do you see any indication that she's refusing?"
Jiang Xiaofeng looked at Shenhe's turned head away. "..."
"All right."
Jiang Xiaofeng shrugged.
"If you want to come with me, then so be it."
Jiang Xiaofeng turned and left.
The place where the Cloud Retainer was waiting was directly below the old site of the Jade Chamber; it's unclear whether she noticed...
Jiang Xiaofeng and Shenhe left side by side.
As they approached Liyue Harbor, Jiang Xiaofeng suddenly spoke up, " Shenhe, you go back first. I still have things to do."
Shenhe He looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"Hurry up."
Jiang Xiaofeng nudged Shenhe.
Shenhe He had no choice but to leave first.
Jiang Xiaofeng watched Shenhe slowly walk away, then turned around and started walking back.
Just as they were approaching the two stone statues, a burly man suddenly jumped out and charged towards Jiang Xiaofeng from behind!
"Snort."
Jiang Xiaofeng sneered, then turned and kicked!
"Crack--"
Jiang Xiaofeng didn't hold back at all with his kick; the terrifying force directly hit the man's head, instantly twisting his head to one side in an unnatural position, teetering on the verge of collapse.
Jiang Xiaofeng kicked the man again, pinning him to the ground.
"Come out."
A group of men with their faces covered emerged from the shadows.
"What, you can't win at gambling at the Yanshang Teahouse, and you can't win by cheating, so you're planning to cheat?"
"You bastard, your good days are over!"
A middle-aged man dressed in fine clothes walked out from behind.
Jiang Xiaofeng took one look and laughed.
" Master Maocai!"
Master Maocai clearly hadn't expected that Jiang Xiaofeng would actually know him.
"So you know me?"
"That makes things easier."
"As long as you behave..."
Master Maocai looked smug, but before he could finish speaking, Jiang Xiaofeng grabbed the cripple at his feet and threw him at him.
"I'm hitting you!"
Master Maocai was knocked down, but he quickly got up and made way for him.
A Electro Cicin Mage and a debt collector emerged from behind.
Jiang Xiaofeng: "..."
Okay, maybe I wasn't thinking things through.
No wonder the Fatui such a bad reputation.
Jiang Xiaofeng picked at his ear.
"You two, state your identities, and I'll spare your lives."
"Let me make it clear beforehand, the Childe will not ask you to do such a thing, so you'd better answer truthfully."
The Electro Cicin Mage and the debt collector exchanged a glance, somewhat surprised.
I never expected to run into... a fellow professional?
And his status seems to be quite high?
Having realized this, the debt collector knelt down on one knee and respectfully said to Jiang Xiaofeng, "Sir, we have no connection with the people at Yanshang Teahouse. We only made a deal with Master Maocai, so we've come to avenge him."
"If I have offended you, please forgive me."
Jiang Xiaofeng: "..."
Oh, this.
It seems that stubborn debt collectors aren't so common in games.
The Electro Cicin Mage also knelt down, head bowed.
Jiang Xiaofeng shook his head. "This has nothing to do with you anyway. Hurry up and leave. Don't get involved in these things. You never know when you might run into a tough customer."
The two nodded and quickly left.
Jiang Xiaofeng shouted from behind, "When it comes to deals, once you've made enough profit, get out of there as soon as possible. It's always better to have a good reputation..."
If all else fails, we'll double-cross them...
Seeing the two leave, Jiang Xiaofeng called out the Knight.
" Eldest, kill everyone else here, except for that well-dressed guy."
The Knight nodded, leaped into the air, and Darkness Falls that shattered everyone's souls into mush, instantly killing their bodies.
Then, the Knight went to Master Maocai and pressed his soul back into place.
The Knight turned to look at Jiang Xiaofeng.
Jiang Xiaofeng nodded in satisfaction.
"Okay, another soul transfer. Let's go back."
With a wave of his hand, Jiang Xiaofeng sent the Knight back through a Starry Sky Gate.
Then, watching as Master Maocai slowly got up.
"My lord, spare my life!"
As soon as Master Maocai stood up, he knelt on the ground with a shovel, weeping and begging Jiang Xiaofeng for forgiveness.
"..."
Jiang Xiaofeng looked at Master Maocai, walked over, and kicked him.
"Get lost! I'm in a good mood today; you've escaped with your life."
Master Maocai scrambled away, leaving the thugs on the ground with their "intact bodies" untouched.
Of course, he couldn't fix it either...
Jiang Xiaofeng looked at these humans, thought for a moment, then opened a spatial portal and began to convert large amounts of Void Power.
These bodies are remarkably well-preserved; we can experiment with that.
Jiang Xiaofeng infused the corpse with Void Power, causing it to slowly stand up...
At the same time, the Void Heart flickered slightly.
The corpse, whose eyes had been lifeless, suddenly began to move its eyes.
All twenty-four people seemed to have come alive...
Then, everyone turned to Jiang Xiaofeng and knelt on one knee.
"Host."
Jiang Xiaofeng: "Yo ho."
"It actually works!"
"Come on, everyone, tell me, what are your skills?"
No one spoke.
Jiang Xiaofeng frowned, pointed at one of the people, and said, "Can you kill someone?"
The person nodded.
Jiang Xiaofeng pointed to the person next to him and said, "You guys should have a fight."
"Click!"
Upon receiving the order, the man immediately reached out and grabbed the person next to him.
People nearby also raised their arms to block the view.
"..."
Jiang Xiaofeng frowned as he watched the two men fight.
"Can only the human consciousness fight?"
"I don't remember anything from before..."
"But..."
Jiang Xiaofeng looked at the cracks left on the ground by the two wrestling.
"He's quite strong."
Jiang Xiaofeng thought about the Royal Guard of the Dead Cells.
Looks like I'll have to strip some armor next time I go back...
Alternatively, let the Void Power consume a piece of armor so these guys can create more whenever they want...
Or simply...
Jiang Xiaofeng stopped his random thoughts, opened the spatial portal, and threw the twenty-four people who had been modified by the Void Power inside.
I just thought it was feasible, but I didn't actually plan to use it.
At worst, we can try it out later...
After dealing with these guys, Jiang Xiaofeng flew back to Liyue Harbor.
Upon arriving at Liyue Harbor, they discovered that Shenhe had been stopped again.
After learning about the situation from Millelith, Jiang Xiaofeng realized that Shenhe had assaulted someone.
Yes, the swindlers have tricked Shenhe again. Since no one stood up for Shenhe this time, he beat up the Shenhe.
Jiang Xiaofeng took Shenhe and returned to the Northland Bank...
