Chapter 656: Chapter 657: The Tools Guy
The Magistrate’s eyes harbored endless flas, as if wanting to completely devour Wu Liang on the ground.
At this mont, the governnt officer by his side also picked up the letter that had fallen on the ground, glanced at it, and imdiately his face changed as well.
Li Xiaobai sending such a ssage was undoubtedly opposing the governnt, challenging the authority of the officials, but between the lines, it also conveyed a lot of information—at the very least, they now knew that their own Xiao Qi was still alive, and as long as there was life, there was hope.
“Prefectural Magistrate, this humble one had no knowledge, truly, this humble one was also deceived!”
“I implore the Magistrate to see clearly…”
Wu Liang, scared out of his wits, hurriedly recounted the encounter with Li Xiaobai at the tea stand, usually one to brag without bounds, but now instantly cowered.
At this mont, he just wanted to save his own life.
“Heh, this official knew it, how could you, a little scoundrel, have the guts to bring this letter directly to my eyes?”
“According to what you said, your two brothers are currently watching Li Xiaobai?”
“Where are they?”
The Magistrate looked at Wu Liang and asked with a sinister tone.
“Reporting to the Magistrate, Li Xiaobai told he would wait at the small tea stand, I beg you to give this humble one a chance to redeem my faults.”
Wu Liang, with a whining tone, spoke—he was truly frightened.
“At last there’s so use to you, to provide so useful information, gentlen, how do you plan to proceed?”
The Magistrate asked the several governnt officers.
“We will head to the tea stand now to look for Li Xiaobai, there’s no need for the Magistrate to personally attend the transaction seven days from now, we brothers will take care of capturing Li Xiaobai.”
The leader said indifferently, and then led the others to set out imdiately.
“Wait, take this fellow too, be tidy with your actions, and don’t dirty my residence, you understand what I an.”
The Magistrate called out to the n, pointing at Wu Liang, who was kneeling on the ground, shaking uncontrollably, and spoke with a face full of disgust—he did not care whether the other party did it intentionally or not, anyone who offended him only had one fate, and that was death!
“Magistrate, Magistrate, I know I was wrong!”
“Please give another chance!”
“This humble one was also deceived by Li Xiaobai, you can’t bla !”
“Magistrate…”
Wu Liang struggled frantically, his face distorted, but he was totally no match for the governnt officers; he was promptly dragged out of the courtyard. Soon, the cries and screams stopped abruptly, and the courtyard beca quiet once again.
“Summon soone, release a ssage, say Li Xiaobai at the tea stand outside the city gate is wantonly killing innocents, truly a demon of evil path, and have the citizens report imdiately if they find any trace of him!”
“Those who conceal and fail to report will share the sa fate as this demon head!”
Inside the house, the Magistrate called for a servant, gave a few instructions, and then imrsed himself back into his pleasures.
“Damn it, that young girl just captured is so fetching, not to partake would simply be a cri against nature, but those obstinate fools are so protective of , not even allowing to get close, such ingratitude!”
A trace of lust flared in the Magistrate’s eyes, as he thought of Long Xue’s exquisite beauty, he felt an inexplicable dryness in his mouth, her figure and grace were like an Immortal descending to earth, a pitiable sight to behold!
Unfortunately, those few governnt officers, claiming another Yan’s orders, barred him from nearing the woman, infuriating him no small amount.
These officers had co from the main city, naturally outranking him, and although his official position was high, he was not in a position to offend them, so he had to bear it for now.
…
At the sa ti, within the mountain forest.
Li Xiaobai carried two chivalrous wanderers into a cave, casually threw them next to the governnt officer Xiao Qi, and stuffed a chicken leg into his mouth.
“Eat up, you’ll need the strength to work for .”
Li Xiaobai placed a whole chicken in front of Xiao Qi.
“Sir, what are you…”
Xiao Qi was shocked, not even caring about the chicken leg in his mouth anymore, eyes wide as he watched the scene unfold before him.
In just the blink of an eye, Li Xiaobai had actually carried two living people back, which was sowhat frightening.
“Seeing you lonely in this cave, I deliberately found you two companions, so everyone can cultivate together when there’s nothing else to do. The atmosphere is better that way, and it gives you more enthusiasm to practice.”
Li Xiaobai cheerfully said, his hands moving proficiently and swiftly to tie up the two people and seal their movents.
Xiao Qi was speechless. Wasn’t he just bringing over a couple of tool-people to provide Inner Strength? Why make it sound so mystical?
What atmosphere?
With a sharp and pointed knife constantly hanging over his head, ready to fall at the slightest slack, who cares about atmosphere in a life where tomorrow is not promised?
“Don’t say I’m not reasonable; going forward, I’ll extract from you in a more humane manner, ensuring your safety to the greatest extent possible. Of course, this is under the assumption that you are genuinely cultivating non-stop, because I certainly have no use for donkeys that don’t move.”
“Hehe, understood, thank you for your concern, sir. If the three of us can take turns to absorb Inner Strength, the pressure is indeed reduced a lot,” Xiao Qi said with a forced smile, squeezing out a stiff smile. Having witnessed Li Xiaobai’s terrifying speed of extracting Inner Strength, he felt anything but relaxed. With Li Xiaobai’s pace, even thirty people wouldn’t suffice, let alone three.
That ant he still had to cultivate without rest. This Li Xiaobai was simply the ancestor of harvesters!
“Where is this place?”
“How did I faint?”
“No, that demon head knocked us out and brought us here!”
“Demon head, what do you want to do? I tell you, no matter what your goal is, we brothers would rather die than submit!”
“That’s right, you dared to tie the two of us up and bring us here, are you not afraid my older brother will lead governnt officers to your door?”
“I’m telling you, it’s not too late to release us now, otherwise you will definitely regret it!”
As Li Xiaobai was talking to Xiao Qi, the two n bound on the floor slowly ca to and imdiately changed their expressions when they saw their situation: a mountain cave devoid of daylight, accompanied only by a few candles.
They couldn’t fathom what Li Xiaobai intended to do; only a sense of dread was sweeping over them.
Being tied up in such a desolate place certainly boded no good.
“Hehe, looks like you two have quite the spirit. Good, Xiao Qi, teach them the rules later. From now on, you’re a team; you must help each other out, got it?”
Li Xiaobai said with a smile, as the Divinity Transformation Technique operated within him, once again devouring the Inner Strength from the two n’s bodies, before he left with a flourish.
The two n slumped to the ground, their eyes lifeless, their lips trembling. At that mont, they seed to understand why they were tied up here.
“Devil… Devil!”
“You’re a devil!”
