No taboos

Chapter 114: Wasted Effort (Fourth Update)

Xu Yuan ignored the escaping ghost baby and waited for about an incense stick of time before he collected Aunt Wang's spleen.

The Haikou toad had been crushed into a layer of meat paste, with only a layer of skin left on its body.

Fu Jingyu carefully examined it and what he most hoped to keep was naturally the eyeball.

But it was also completely crushed.

"What a pity." Fu Jingyu regretted.

Lu Zhengyan came over and cut the skin of the Haikou toad with a large Guandao: "Everyone, take a piece."

Although Xu Yuan felt that eating this bait would definitely continue to strengthen Pi Dan.

But when I think of the Haikou toad covered in pus... I really can't bring myself to eat it.

In the end, he only took a piece of belly skin and returned it to his stepmother to see what he could make out of it.

So he asked Master Fu for a "fishy wrap" to contain it, and Master Fu gave it to him readily.

Mr. Yan asked Xu Yuan: "What was burned out of the carriage?"

Xu Yuan opened the carriage and took a look, and found that there was still a tongue tendon left!
Obviously it came from the tongue of the Haikou toad.

This thing is just right for strengthening the tendons.

Xu Yuan took it without hesitation and said, "It's mine."

Naturally, everyone had no objection.

"Okay, let's go back to town." Fu Jingyu breathed a sigh of relief.

When they arrived at the village, Bai Laoyan went back on his own. Xu Yuan made an agreement with him: "We will start taking care of the affairs of the town hall when we get back. Then let A Guang come and inform the seniors."

Bai Laoyan was still a little worried: "Don't go back on your word! Besides, you still owe us compensation..."

"I'll ask A Guang to bring it over."

Xu Yuan looked inside the village gate again, but Zhang Sanba was not there. "Senior, please tell Zhang Sanba that his reward will be delivered when the time comes."

Bai Laoyan nodded and wanted to talk about something else, but after thinking about it, he decided to wait until the town hall was set up before talking about it, so he swallowed his words.

After leaving the village, when passing by Mr. Piaodang's crooked tree, I saw Mr. Piaodang hanging on the tree, holding the booklet given by Xu Yuan in his hand, and reading it with his long tongue turning the pages.

There were also two pretty female ghosts serving on the side.

He was so engrossed in watching that he only came to his senses after Xu Yuan and the others greeted him.

Noticing Xu Yuan glancing at the two female ghosts who were reading with him with a half-smile, Mr. Piaodang coughed dryly and waved his hand without changing his expression: "You two can go down first."

The two female ghosts bowed and took their leave, sinking into the ground and disappearing.

"Are you all going home now?"

Xu Yuan nodded and dug out the mountain products he had buried last time: "Let's go back. Thank you for your help this time, sir. See you next time!"

Xu Yuan walked out a short distance and looked back to see that the two female ghosts had indeed come out again, snuggling up to Mr. Piaodang, one on the left and one on the right.

This hanged ghost's tongue is getting dishonest...

"Tsk tsk!" Xu Yuan said, "You scholars really know how to have fun."

Fu Jingyu looked puzzled. Although he was a scholar, he could indeed be considered a scholar.

What's wrong with me?
On the way, Xu Yuan turned a corner and said, "We have to go to Meihuatan and have those two foxes tell their families that we have killed the Haikou Toad."

Fu Jingyu was curious: "How did you get to know those two foxes?"

Xu Yuan casually replied, "I was collecting firewood in the mountains, and sometimes I would run into someone and chat with him, and then we would get to know each other better."

I wanted to talk about the last time we joined forces to fight against the Saint Lady, but it would involve the Pingtian Society, so I stopped and didn't continue.

Fu Jingyu was suspicious: Those two foxes are also evil spirits in the mountains. You are collecting firewood in the mountains, and you want to go up and talk to them? Aren't you afraid of death?
After avoiding some monsters' territory, Xu Yuan walked through the mountains for half an hour and finally reached the top of a peak. Looking down from here, he saw the Plum Blossom Pond.

Moreover, the visibility is excellent. If you hide well, you can watch for an hour without the two foxes below noticing.

This was Xu Yuan’s exclusive viewing seat.

Even if the two foxes noticed, the distance here was far enough, so they turned around and ran down the mountain, and it would be difficult for them to catch up.

Now I think that the two foxes may not be unable to catch up, but because they are the weakest among the monsters. If they chase too far, they will suffer if they accidentally enter the territory of another monster.

From the pool at the foot of the mountain, a woman's sweet laughter came, which sounded quite pleasant and attractive in the empty and desolate mountains.

Old Yan and Old Lu stuck their heads out from behind to take a look, then shook their heads and stepped back.

Fu Jingyu was at the back, and he waited for the two men to have a look and move aside, then he went up and looked around.

He immediately covered his eyes with his hands: "Don't look at anything indecent!"

Then he blurted out: "So this is how Mr. Xu got to know the two sisters."

Xu Yuan was furious: "How dare you slander someone's innocence out of thin air!"

Fu Jingyu is indeed a gentleman. I won’t say anything without solid evidence, but I am convinced of this in my heart.

Xu Yuan was about to shout to the people below, "Stop burning it," but then he covered his mouth and thought for a moment, wondering if he was forbidden to "shout to the mountain" today?
The two foxes had already seen him. They jumped out of the water with a whoosh and transformed into two yellow-haired foxes when they landed. They shook off the water on their bodies and said:

"What a waste of energy!"

"I've been seen by this brat for no reason again. I'm so sorry!"

Fu Jingyu glanced at Xu Yuan. Isn't the victim's confession coming?

Xu Yuan pretended not to see anything, came down the mountain, and when he reached the pond, suddenly a pair of little foxes came out from under the old plum tree.

It chirped softly and looked at Xu Yuan expectantly.

Xu Yuan scratched his head awkwardly: "I didn't come from outside the mountain this time, so I didn't bring any live chickens for you."

The two little foxes were immediately filled with disappointment. Xu Yuan, who looked at them with resentment, could not bear it any longer. He suddenly pointed at Dafu and said, "There's a goose here. How about you take it?"

Dafu: Ang?

The two little foxes were so scared that their fur stood on end. They quickly scurried into the bushes nearby and refused to come out again.

The fox sisters complained, "They just bully children."

Xu Yuan: "Okay, let's get down to business. I'll help you get rid of the Haikou Toad."

The sisters were surprised: "Really?"

"Absolutely true!" Xu Yuan turned and walked away: "I just happened to be passing by here and told you guys that we're even and we'll see each other later!"

After Xu Yuan finished speaking, he stepped on the fire wheel and left.

The fox sisters were still in shock. After all, Haikou Toad was a powerful being among the big monsters, and how could they actually be killed by a little pervert like you?!
This kind of lie is meaningless, so it must be true.

Suddenly, the younger sister came to her senses and rushed out to chase Xu Yuan: "Don't run! Give me back the Shan Ye stele!"

In just a short while, Xu Yuan almost reached the top of the mountain!
Fu Jingyu and the other two were wondering why you were in such a hurry to leave and even got on the steamer directly!
It turns out he wanted to steal other people's things.

Xu Yuan turned a deaf ear to the fox sister's shouts, but when he reached the top of the peak, he saw a black-haired fox wearing a black robe, sitting on the peak with his hands behind his back like an old scholar, with a wine gourd beside him.

Xu Yuan stopped and said with a smile: "You are here, I was looking for you."

The old fox stretched out his hand: "Come back."

Xu Yuan took out the fragments of the Shan Ye stele, but did not return them immediately. Instead, he said sternly, "You are a senior, so this is not the way to deal with things, is it?"
