Chapter 4: Stupid Pig Mo Li and the "Medicine" in the Treasure Box!

When Mo Li shouted that he was a disciple of the Yunlan Sect, Qi Yan'er, who was pretending to be dizzy, realized just how foolish he was!

Could he not see the intense murderous intent in the tall man's eyes? How vicious it was! It was as if he was seeking death by revealing his background like that!

What a stupid pig!

"Yunlan Sect? Hahaha~ I don't know about that!" Hemeng's eyes narrowed, his murderous intent intensifying as he threw a punch at Mo Li.

Mo Li, horrified, used all his strength to dodge to the side.

"Oh!"

The powerful punch struck the ground, creating a sizable crater.

Mo Li was drenched in cold sweat. Facing imminent death, he quickly spoke again, "Captain Hemeng, you can't kill me. I am not only a disciple of the Yunlan Sect but also the young master of the Mo family. If you kill me, it will bring huge trouble to your mercenary group!"

"Haha~" Hermon sneered, "Kid, do you take me for a fool? If I don't kill you now, it will cause even bigger trouble! Die!"

With that, Hermon charged at Mo Li again like a juggernaut.

Seeing this, Mo Li was terrified.

"Puff~"

"..."

However, when Hermon arrived in front of Mo Li, he unexpectedly stopped upon seeing Mo Li suddenly collapse to the ground.

He... he actually yielded?

"Brother Hemeng, please spare me. As long as you spare my life, I will do whatever you want," Mo Li begged desperately.

At that moment, a thought struck him, and he pointed towards Nalan Yanran and Qi Yan'er, who were lying unconscious on the table, "Brother Hemeng, did you know? The girl with me is none other than the direct disciple of our Yunlan Sect's master, the future sect leader Nalan Yanran!"

"We came down from the mountain this time to annul the engagement in Wutan City. If you manage to get a woman like her, it would not be in vain for your life!"

"Oh, and this little girl here, she's extremely tender! If you..."

"Snap!"

Before Mo Li could finish his sentence, Hermon rewarded him with a resounding slap across the face.

"Bastard!" Hermon roared angrily, "Even though I'm a mercenary who likes women, I wouldn't stoop so low as to touch such a young girl. But you... as a disciple of the Yunlan Sect, the holy land of cultivation in the Jia Ma Empire, you're truly shameless. You deserve to die!"

"...Pfft~" Hearing this, Mo Li spat out a mouthful of blood.

For someone like Hermon to call him shameless!

"In fact, what you said isn't entirely unreasonable. I suppose it is true." Hermon stared at Mo Li with a strange glint in his eyes, "The games you suggested should indeed be played."

"Young ones, handle him as you please. Remember to clean up properly when you're done!"

"Okay!"

Upon hearing their captain's orders, a group of burly mercenaries approached Mo Li step by step.

Seeing this, Mo Li was horrified. He clenched his fists and struggled to move backward, "What do you want? Stay away!"

"Hehehe~ As expected of a Yunlan Sect disciple, your skin is so delicate and tender!" A mercenary rubbed his palms together and licked his lips greedily, then lifted Mo Li onto his shoulders.

Moments later, he and several strong men disappeared into the woods by the roadside.

It's difficult to articulate what Mo Li would endure.

If one were to describe it briefly, it could only be termed as "blooming flowers."

Meanwhile, back in Luofan Village...

"Ding! Warning!"

Qi Fan, busy preparing dishes, was startled by a notification sound in his mind.

[Your daughter, Qi Yan'er, is in danger and requires a vial of potent poison. The system has selected a specific poison for the host, Misfortune Poisonous Mist, with an exchange price of 1000 points.]

[Misfortune Poisonous Mist: An extremely toxic substance created by the master of the Einan Poison Body. Within five minutes of dispersal, anyone below the level of a fighting master who comes into contact with it will lose consciousness!]

"Confirm exchange!"

Without hesitation, Qi Fan confirmed the exchange.

[Ding! Exchange successful!]

Qi Fan stared at the food in the pot, feeling no appetite.

It had been such a short while since his precious daughter had found herself in danger!

How could he rest easy?

"Damn~ I'm so confused!"

Meanwhile, at the tea pavilion...

Hermon stretched out his sinful hands, reaching towards Nalan Yanran!

"Stop!"

Suddenly, Qi Yan'er, who had been pretending to be unconscious, stood up.

Hermon: Σ(⊙▽⊙"a!

"H-how did you wake up?" Hermon stared at the little girl before him in shock, his broad face showing surprise.

The young master of the Yunlan Sect hadn't awakened, so how had this little girl done it?

Despite his astonishment, Hermon wasn't too concerned. After all, she was just a little girl—what threat could she possibly pose to him?

"Yan'er, right~" A gentle smile appeared on Hermon's rugged face, "I'm a good person. I'll buy you candy to eat. Can you consider me as your father?"

"Bah~" Qi Yan'er wrinkled her nose in disgust, "You want to be my father with that face? You're not even one-tenth as handsome as my father!"

"..." Hermon's expression darkened as he received a critique on his appearance from a little girl.

However, the more he looked at her, the more adorable she seemed. Turning his head, he spoke with an oddly gentle tone, "Little Yan'er, your father hasn't come to see you in so long. He must not want you anymore. Come with me quickly!"

"That's right, little girl, please come back with our leader!"

"Our leader is a really nice person. He's always wanted a daughter, but he never had one."

The other mercenaries joined in the persuasion.

"Humph~" Qi Yan'er snorted coldly and suddenly waved her delicate hand.

"Boom!"

As the porcelain bottle shattered, a white mist billowed out.

"What's this?" The mercenaries were bewildered.

"No, it's poison!" Hermon sniffed it and immediately felt weak, shouting in panic. But his warning came too late...

"Plop! Plop! Plop!"

Like bowling pins, a dozen mercenaries collapsed to the ground.

"Tch~ Is that it?" Qi Yan'er looked proudly at the mercenaries lying prone on the ground.

Sure enough, the elixir her father had given her was effective and potent!

"And you still want to be my father? Do you even deserve it?" Qi Yan'er's little face flushed with anger as she marched up to Hermon and kicked him hard with her tiny feet.

"Sister Yanran? Sister Yanran?"
