Chapter 996 Writing Letters
“Why don’t you come in and fight against me?” Li Mu looked at these pract.i.tioners.
“We are willing to pay the fine instead of fighting.” A young man in a purple robe said loudly, “Young friend, there is no grievance between us. It’s just a small misunderstanding. We don’t need to fight to the death. We’re willing to pay the fine. Please name the price.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“We were instigated by the fat man earlier.”
“Please be magnanimous, young friend. Please don’t take it to heart.”
Most of the other pract.i.tioners who had a grudge against Li Mu for those women on Ghost Street were young and strong. No matter how arrogant they were in daily life, they were unwilling to start a feud with a powerful person, who was likely to be a future leader taught by the No. 1 Sword Whiz. At this time, they were polite to Li Mu.
Li Mu looked at the small leader of the Dragon King Society and said, “Is there such a rule?”
The small leader quickly said, “Yes, but the premise is that you are willing to accept their request.”
Li Mu laughed and said, “That’s right. It’s not good to fight and kill. Let’s talk about feelings and money. How much do you think your lives are worth? Name a price.”
Just now, he had spent a lot of fairy crystals on those women. He didn’t expect to earn back so many fairy crystals so quickly.
“I’m willing to pay five hundred fairy crystals.” The purple-robed young man said tentatively.
Li Mu immediately raised his sword and pointed it at him, saying, “Forget it. Let’s have a duel.”
“No. Young friend, I was wrong just now. It’s one thousand fairy crystals.” The purple-robed young man hurriedly said.
“When you competed with me for a woman just now, you could take out 1,100 fairy crystals. But now, you only want to pay 1,000 for your life. It seems that you think your life is much cheaper than anyone of those girls,” Li Mu said. “You’re making things difficult for me. Let’s have a duel.”
The purple-robed young man felt pain in his heart. He hurriedly said, “No. I remember that I still have another 200 fairy crystals with me. I have a total of 1,200 fairy crystals. Young friend, these are the most I can take out.”
Li Mu said, “The price is considerable, but don’t be reluctant. I never want to force others.”
“No, I’m not reluctant.” The purple-robed young man was about to cry.
He was unlucky today.
Just now, he shouldn’t have joined in the fun and taken the initiative to challenge Li Mu with the fat man. Now, he had been trapped by himself. The rules of the underground city of the Constellation Demon Mountain couldn’t be broken. People who took the initiative to challenge others couldn’t refuse to fight unless the other side agreed to fine.
Li Mu got 1,200 fairy crystals from the purple-robed young man and smiled happily.
In the end, the other seven challengers paid the so-called fine by the standard of 1,200 on average, respectively. Their hearts felt pain. After paying off the fine, they ran away as if afraid that Li Mu would make any trouble.
“Is there such a good thing?”
Li Mu calculated and found he only needed a few thousand fairy crystals to compensate for all the fairy crystals he had paid.
He looked at the stunned crowd outside and said, “Is there anyone else who wants to challenge me? Hurry up and sign up. The opportunity will not come again. I’m waiting for you here.”
The surrounding experts all had strange looks.
The behavior of this future leader taught by a Sword Whiz was too strange.
His cold demeanor as a Sword Whiz at the beginning collapsed so quickly.
Could it be that this was his true character?
They saw the miserable backs of the purple-robed young man and the other seven people who had paid a lot of fairy crystals. If anyone dared to challenge Li Mu at this time, the person would be out of his mind and an idiot.
“What a pity.”
Li Mu left the No. 1 duel zone with regret and left with 13 beautiful women.
Pract.i.tioners from all over the world watched Li Mu leave the eastern region.
The guy was like a fierce dragon, and the fat man and his companions were like local snakes. Finally, the local snakes failed.
The news spread quickly.
The entire underground city of the Constellation Demon Mountain quaked.
When Green Ox Taoist saw Li Mu coming back with 13 beauties inside the inn, he was so shocked. He had never thought Li Mu was lecherous. Moreover, Li Mu brought 13 beauties back at once.
“Is this young man so hot-tempered? He is too crazy.”
Li Mu didn’t explain much. He went straight into his room with the 13 beautiful women.
Seeing Li Mu close the door with a boom, the Green Ox Taoist opened his mouth wide.
At this moment, he felt that his Taoist mindset had been shaken.
“Are the young men these days so fierce?”
In the room, Li Mu took out writing brushes and ink with a smile. He gave each of the 13 beautiful girls a brush. Then he said, “Don’t stand there. Hurry up. Each of you should write a letter.”
“Write a letter?”
“What letter? To whom?”
The princess of the Feather Clan and Sister Jianing plucked up their courage to ask.
Li Mu said matter-of-factly, “Of course, you should write to your families and sects. Let them redeem you with money.”
“What?”
“Do you still want money?”
Some of the girls were very surprised.
Li Mu said, “Of course, isn’t it reasonable? Although I’m soft-hearted, I’m not a sucker. I can’t be so stupid as to redeem you with my own fairy crystals. You should know your current prices very well, right? You should ask your relatives and friends to come to me with the corresponding fairy crystals in your letters. You’d better hurry up. I’m leaving in three days.”
The beauties all looked at Li Mu speechlessly.
In fact, several of them had been attracted by Li Mu’s previous performance in the fighting ring. After all, he was young, rich, powerful, and suspected to have the background of a great emperor. In particular, he was good-looking and fair-skinned. It was easy for him to impress these proud girls.
Everyone thought they were the protagonists of fate and miracles would happen to them. These beautiful women who were doted on before they were in trouble were no exception. Subconsciously, they felt that Li Mu saved them because he wanted to get close to, understand, and pursue them. The others were just foils.
But now, this man, who had moved their hearts, was talking about money with them.
It hurt their feelings.
“Aren’t you a chivalrous Sword Whiz? Why are you…” Sister Jianing looked at Li Mu. She was one of the girls who had fallen in love with him. At this time, she couldn’t hide her disappointment and said, “Why are you so fussy?”
Li Mu was speechless and said, “Am I chivalrous? Don’t imagine it, okay? If I hadn’t paid for your ransom, you would have been pressed on beds and stripped naked by wild men, and they would have done whatever they wanted on you. Why are you still dreaming here? I’m so kind that I don’t charge you any interest.”
“You…” Sister Jianing was trembling with anger because of such vulgar words.
Sister Shu Ying hurriedly stopped her and said, “This Young Master saved us. He is our benefactor. We should return his money to him. If it weren’t for him, we might be worse off than death now.”
She took the lead in writing a letter.
Seeing this, the other girls also began to write.
The brushes, ink, and paper were all special alchemy items and of a high price. After the girls had written the letters, the letters could be delivered to the recipients in the shortest time.
Li Mu waited for all the women to finish writing the letters. Without reading the contents, he asked Liuyun Wuxin to send the letters away.
“Well, everyone, before your relatives and friends pay the ransom, I won’t undo the ban on your bodies. In fact, I don’t know how to undo that.” Li Mu clapped his hands and said, “I’ve asked someone to prepare a few rooms in this inn. To save money, each two of you can share one. Before your people redeem you, I, a handsome, lovely, and righteous young hero, will pay for your accommodation, food, drinks, and other daily necessities. When they come, remember to compensate me. I know some of you are very dissatisfied, but your protest is of no use.”
The girls cursed in their hearts again.
At this time, their grat.i.tude to Li Mu had disappeared a lot.
After the girls left, Li Mu began to cultivate in his room.
Today, he was inspired to use Whitehair Swordsmans.h.i.+p to fight against the enemies. Especially, he had killed the fat man. He wanted to organize the experience carefully.
Some people were talking in the Not Missing Home House.
“Big brother, Fourth Brother died just like that. We can’t leave him alone.”
“That’s right. If we are afraid of that boy, we will lose all face in the Constellation Demon Mountain in the future. Big brother, we must think of a way to deal with him.”
“Calm down, brothers. I’ve sent people to investigate that boy’s ident.i.ty and background. If he’s the future leader of the Brotherhood of Swords and taught by the Sword Savant, that’s for the best. If not, I’ll tear him to pieces to avenge our fourth brother.”
“f.u.c.k! I’m so angry. I can’t accept this.” The purple-robed young man smashed everything in the room and roared, “I, Zi Rulong, have never been humiliated like this before. Go and investigate. Find out the background of that little b.a.s.t.a.r.d.”
“Young Master, we’ve already sent people to investigate. We’ll have a conclusion soon. Please calm down and don’t be angry. If big Young Master sees this, we can’t explain it to him.”
“When will my big brother come?”
“He’ll be here before the auction for stolen things starts.”
“Well, when my elder brother arrives. Even if that little thief is the future leader of the Brotherhood of Swords, I must let him lose everything he has gotten. Even if I can’t kill him, I’ll vent my anger.”
“Yes. If the big young master comes, how many people in the younger generation in the world can compete with him?”
“I can finally come out and catch my breath. I’ve been soaking in the pool of Voltaic Essence all day long, and my entire body is about to rot.”
A figure walked out of Lightning Taoist Ancestor Mountain. He opened his arms and hugged the void with an intoxicated smile.
“From now on, I will start a new life that belongs to me. Li Mu, wait and see. I will make you pay the price sooner or later.”
A purple lightning boat floated over.
He stepped on the boat and said, “Let’s go to Constellation Demon Mountain. I heard that the auction for stolen things would begin three days later. Let’s go and have a look. My master said that there might be Purple Pole Thunder Liquid which is helpful for my cultivation. I must get it.”
