Online: I Can See Health Bars Chapter 1298 - 577: Have a Drink

But this reckless and tactless woman, she truly doesn’t understand why Master Quan Heng would be willing to associate with such a woman.

Even if these two were just standing together, their styles are... incompatible!

"Master Xue, calling the little monk back, is there any difficulty?"

No sooner had they parted their feet, then they were urgently called back; it’s not hard to imagine, there must be some issue encountered.

Quan Heng’s demeanor was calm, though he didn’t smile, he naturally gave a sense of peace like a gentle spring breeze.

"Bald Pigeon↑Pigeon↓, ignore her! It’s obvious she’s trying to use her charms to win you over! Come fly kites with me; you promised to stay with me all day today!"

The reckless woman opened her arms and hugged Master Quan Heng tightly, which even made Xue Yunting’s blood pressure rise a bit.

She truly thinks that this woman’s conduct and character are far from being worthy of Master Quan Heng.

Suppressing the emotions in her heart, Xue Yunting sincerely begged, bowing her head.

"Master Quan Heng, this humble woman does have one thing to ask the master’s help with."

"Amitabha, what does Master Xue seek, feel free to say, within the capabilities I possess, this little monk is willing to assist Master Xue."

Master Quan Heng showed a trace of compassion and pity on his face.

Were it someone else displaying such an expression, even just slightly, it would make Xue Yunting feel extremely disgusted and angry.

But towards Master Quan Heng, she couldn’t raise such feelings of dislike.

Because the compassion and pity of Master Quan Heng don’t seem to be targeted at her alone but rather anyone in her current situation would receive such a promise and reaction from Master Quan Heng.

Equality.

Equality for everyone, regardless of gender or status.

This kind of thing, perhaps only the high monks of Zhongfu Temple could achieve.

Xue Yunting didn’t want to admit the reason for her lack of disgust was somewhat due to Master Quan Heng’s handsome appearance and tranquil demeanor.

Joining her hands, she glanced sideways at the improper woman clinging to the master’s body.

"What are you looking at me for!"

Guo Yuxin glared back angrily, completely oblivious.

Quan Heng lightly shook his head.

"Master Xue, do not worry about her, she is not a gossip."

Matter concerning life and death, Xue Yunting was still somewhat hesitant, but gritting her teeth, she whispered.

"Master Quan Heng, you know of my situation in An Mansion... so I want to ask you to help me find two people in Thunder City, two... benefactors of mine!"

Finding someone isn’t considered difficult.

However, Thunder City, Quan Heng isn’t familiar with, might take quite some time to find them.

"This isn’t too hard, does Master Xue have any traits or names of the two benefactors?"

"The two benefactors are named Diao Deyi and Ding Hui respectively, as for their appearances..."

Master Xue was still trying hard to recall the appearances of her two benefactors but didn’t notice that in front of her, both Quan Heng and Guo Yuxin suddenly widened their eyes, even Quan Heng who showed some slight loss of composure and excitement for the first time in front of Xue Yunting.

Diao, Diao Deyi???

...

Forest Snake Gang.

[System Prompt: Congratulations to the player for killing... and gaining 303 experience points.]

[System Prompt: Experience points exceeded 100, converted into a total of 3 attribute points.]

The eight-legged arachnids floated on the pool water surrounding the pavilion.

The bubbling sound seemed to indicate something heavy had sunk to the bottom of the pond.

The center of the pond covered by lotus leaves also seemed to be slowly permeating a crimson tint, spreading outward.

"Diao, Mr. Diao?!"

Fast.

Everything happened too quickly.

From Mr. Diao’s strike to the head flying, to the blood mist bursting, to the demon being slain.

The battle happened so fast even the fake Gang Leader couldn’t react before it was all over.

The splattering blood rain, now finally falling, completely merging into the pool water.

From the remnants floating on the water, it’s clear Mr. Diao engaged in a few exchanges with the demon, but the battle was too fast for him to keep pace, already over.

"Have someone fish the demon’s body out and take it to my wife."

"Yes... Yes!"

Facing a God of Killing-like existence, even the fake Gang Leader was trembling.

Seeing Fang Yu had already sheathed his sword, he finally mustered the courage to question doubtfully.

"Mr. Diao, how did Mr. Diao know that Mrs. Shang was a demon?"

"How did I know? My eyes are the measure! I could see at a glance that this thing wasn’t human! Bold demon dare to feign mysticism in front of me, utterly unaware of life and death!"

Fang Yu said coldly, making the false Gang Leader frightened beyond measure.

If only he possessed a modicum of discernment, he would realize these words carried the same weight as those spouted by murderers serving the Foolish Underworld.

However, in his current state of emotional turmoil, the imposter Gang Leader was incapable of such clear thought.

For a considerable period, this individual had collaborated with Mrs. Shang, delegating numerous unsavory and laborious assignments to her.

He wasn't alone; a multitude of local gangs engaged in business with Mrs. Shang. To his knowledge, even formidable gangs and influential powers maintained connections with her.

Over the years, Mrs. Shang's reputation had become deeply ingrained. The false Gang Leader had never once contemplated the possibility that such an adept and alluring woman could be a demon!

It had to be, it was absolutely certain, that a demon had recently consumed the genuine Mrs. Shang!

This realization ignited a profound animosity within the fake Gang Leader towards the corpse submerged in the pool.

"Gang Leader, has your strategy against that fellow proven effective? Is there a mole among the Four Great Hall Masters?"

The false Gang Leader's expression shifted to one of awkwardness.

"It's still too soon to draw a conclusion. Everything remains under observation; I implore Mr. Diao to exercise patience."

Fang Yu pondered for a moment before stating, "Then I request that the Gang Leader ensure diligent protection for my wife by the four Hall Masters. Losing her is not an option."

While Fang Yu was reluctant to entrust Ding Hui's safety to strangers, he also could not remain indefinitely at the Forest Snake Gang headquarters.

Stagnation was unacceptable; he needed to advance and continue augmenting his strength.

This Mrs. Shang was merely an initial offering; upon departing the Forest Snake Gang's vicinity, he intended to proactively present himself as prey to the demons!

Exploiting the unfamiliar surroundings, he aimed to impart a memorable hunting lesson to the local demonic entities!

"Yes! I pledge my life that as long as Mrs. Diao remains within the Forest Snake Gang, no harm shall befall her!"

The false Gang Leader emphatically beat his chest as assurance.

Prior to witnessing Fang Yu's capabilities, he might have harbored ulterior motives.

Having now experienced Fang Yu's formidable power, any thought of defiance was unthinkable.

Dealing with Great Demons was a manageable feat; dispatching a mere weakling like himself would be as simple as slaughtering chickens, ducks, or stray dogs.

Fang Yu departed, moving away swiftly.

He harbored an ambitious objective: a grand demon hunt, an endeavor likely feasible only once within Thunder City.

A cluster of fragrant Evil Qi, a veritable moving banquet.

This feast, he wished to extend an invitation to every demon residing within Thunder City!

Within him, a demonic transformation stirred restlessly.

A subtle, blood-colored aura enveloped him, seemingly present yet intangible.

...

Upon Jiangxin Bridge, a throng of people bustled by.

Shouts and calls echoed incessantly.

At the far end of Jiangxin Bridge stood a magnificent tavern.

Ascending its levels – one floor, two floors, three floors, four floors!

From a window seat on the fourth floor, a man observed the bustling crowd below while leisurely sipping his wine.

Step.

Step.

Step.

Footsteps emanated from the corridor, drawing nearer, followed by a distinct rapping at the door.

Knock, knock, knock.

"Enter," he commanded.

Creak.

The door swung open, then shut firmly behind the newcomer.

The individual, adorned with a sheep mask, bowed respectfully to the man enjoying his wine.

"Mr. Song."

Song Qianlong briefly diverted his gaze, glancing lazily at the visitor, and instructed, "Remove your mask."

"Yes, sir."

The man in the sheep mask complied, revealing a face... strikingly similar to the current Gang Leader of the Forest Snake Gang!

They appeared almost like twin brothers, with scarcely any discernible differences!

"Mr. Song, the items you requested have been prepared and are at the usual location. You need only send someone to retrieve them."

The man who had removed his mask maintained a reserved demeanor, exhibiting a degree of trepidation towards the figure before him.

Yet, Song Qianlong smiled and gestured to the plush seat beside him.

"Come, sit, join me for a drink."
