Slandering an Innocent Man
"How could my older sister be so selfish, eating all the food herself and leaving these rotten fruits for her younger sisters?"
Upon hearing this, the younger sisters standing nearby couldn't hold back any longer.
What kind of talk is that?
If I see something that catches my eye, I take it.
And these people were left to them, those who, too, couldn't bear to watch, and they themselves...?
Thinking about this, the group felt it was somewhat unfair.
However, the merchants listening nearby felt even more awkward.
Shouldn't they be the ones choosing these women?
Now, these women are actually picking and choosing from them, as if they were the ones browsing.
I felt somewhat resentful.
But remembering what had just happened, they all kept their mouths shut, not daring to say another word.
He realized that these women were all extraordinary.
It's very likely, it must be that demon!
At this moment, everyone was inwardly groaning.
I ran all the way here, thinking I had escaped the tiger's den, but I never expected to fall right into their lair.
This time, I'm afraid my life is in danger.
The group began to think about how to escape.
I just hope that the scholar who just came in will have a fight with these people.
Fang Zelin, however, heard clearly the conversation of the group of people at the table in the distance.
He said with some helplessness, "Gentlemen, we were just traveling together for a while, how can you slander me like this, calling me a demon?"
Several people were whispering, but Fang Zelin couldn't hear them clearly.
Especially since this place is the fox spirit's lair, he naturally had his eyes wide open.
To avoid falling under someone's Law Technique without even realizing it.
Unexpectedly, without seeing or hearing anything, the Dharma Eye and Dharma Ear were the first to witness the slanderous words of the merchants and others beside them.
I know these people are somewhat afraid of me, but surely they wouldn't really think I'm a demon?
With such keen observation skills, how could you fall for their trap so easily and end up in their lair?
None of the merchants had expected that Fang Zelin had overheard their words.
He was taken aback for a moment, then became even more certain.
Look, even though we're all speaking so softly, they still managed to hear us.
What do you call this? You still say you're not a demon?
That's utter nonsense!
The merchants lowered their heads, filled with remorse.
I should never have gone into that dilapidated temple back then!
"So you're one of us! I thought you were a human being!"
Upon hearing this, the fox spirit following Fang Zelin widened her eyes in surprise.
It's impossible for a human to hear the whispers ahead!
Fang Zelin looked helpless upon hearing this, "Didn't I already say? I'm not a demon, I'm just a real person."
"People?"
Several people looked at Fang Zelin suspiciously after hearing this.
At this point, you still call yourself a human being?
Listen to what these women are saying; even a fool could tell they're extraordinary. They must all be enchantresses.
Otherwise, why would they say things like "we're like-minded"?
To stand so calmly to the side when these words are all clearly understood must be quite remarkable.
The other party should have the same identity as them.
"This place is within a hundred li radius, and you are quite unfamiliar with it. I suppose you are unaware of some of the rules here. But that's alright. From now on, you can stay here and cultivate your skills."
"If we encounter any young ladies or wealthy women in the future, you will be the one to seduce them and work together in cultivation. This will benefit both of us."
The fox spirit uttered a soft voice at that moment.
Now that you know the other person shares your values, there's no need to keep it a secret any longer.
Those guys from before have already gone to their hideout; there's no way they can escape now. Let them know, and they'll know what's going on.
Fang Zelin felt even more helpless upon hearing this.
He glanced at the other merchants and their companions from before.
What kind of things are these guys doing?
As a dignified cultivator, I have lived a life of integrity and upright conduct, yet these few people have tarnished my reputation with just a few words.
Fang Zelin sighed softly at this thought, and then sat down at the table in front of him.
"As I've already said, you're not demons. I saw Yao Qi aura emanating from this place from afar, and judging from your appearance, you seem intent on harming people. Now that I've seen you, I naturally can't ignore it."
"Furthermore, Mr. Fang happens to have something to inquire about, which has nothing to do with these people, so let them leave."
At this point, Fang Zelin took the wine gourd from his waist.
After he pulled out the stopper, small golden seal characters immediately flew out.
The golden light emanating from countless small seal characters illuminated the surrounding area in an instant.
Under the golden light, the room instantly transformed.
The once unique little house is now gradually crumbling away, not becoming dilapidated, but rather filled with eerie and sinister elements.
On the candlesticks and on the bed, there were human skins or bones, a truly chilling sight.
The people who were still drinking turned pale instantly and felt their stomachs churning when they saw this scene.
The women nearby were all bound to the spot by the golden light, staring in terror at the golden light above them.
They all knew in their hearts that if this golden light fell on them, it would surely suppress them.
Is this person a cultivator?
The fox spirits instantly guessed Fang Zelin's identity, their faces filled with terror.
"This is not a place for you. Leave immediately."
Fang Zelin turned to look at the traveling merchants beside him, as well as the other passersby who had been tricked into coming in earlier.
He waved to the group, signaling them to leave quickly.
The merchants and others looked dazed.
Just now, all we saw was this person take out the wine gourd from his waist, without making any other moves, yet he had already intimidated all these demons?
And it even revealed its true form?
The merchants were terrified, especially when they saw everything around them. They realized they were sitting on human skin, and the beautiful woman beside them had turned into a hairy monster. This sent a chill down their spines.
"Aren't you leaving yet? Or are you planning to stay and take a wife or concubine?"
Fang Zelin frowned when he saw that these people still hadn't moved.
He glanced at these people with surprise.
Can't you see these women are all demons?
Even in this state, why haven't you left yet? Staying here is tantamount to courting death.
Upon hearing this again, the group realized what was happening and, without even thanking Fang Zelin, scrambled away.
