After the protagonist retired, the heroine quit

On the rough sea, there was still that small broken boat, and Xiao Yu was still dressed in white with fluttering sleeves, but his hairstyle was a lot messier.

There's no way. It's good enough that I can run out. If I get out a little later, I'll be lying there and won't have time to care about my hairstyle.

Ugh!

Pushing the wet bangs on his forehead aside, Xiao Yu sighed.

"System, is there anything to cover up the aura?"

If the protagonist Ye Feng is really dead as the dog system said, then Dao, as the agent of Heaven, must be extremely anxious and patrolling everywhere.

Although being a demon from outer space can conceal other people's calculations to a certain extent, it is better to be safe just in case.

After all, the Tao is backed by the Way of Heaven.

"Points have been deducted and the item has been sent."

Wow!

A yellow talisman appeared in front of Xiao Yu again. He took it and looked at it carefully.

"The Breath-Suppressing Talisman?! Will it work? The opponent has the Dao of the Hongtian Chessboard."

"System products must be top-notch."

"Okay." Seeing the system answer so confidently, Xiao Yu did not doubt it and directly attached the Breath-Suppressing Talisman on his chest.

After doing all this, he looked up at the sky in a daze.

The protagonist Ye Feng is dead!

How could he die?

Logically speaking, with the protagonist's good luck, even the most difficult and dangerous situation can be turned into a blessing, but now, he is indeed dead.

He was dead. I heard from the system that even his soul couldn't be detected. He was probably annihilated.

So miserable! The crime was not punishable by death, even the villains did not die so miserably.

Xiao Yu mourned for the poor guy in his heart for a few seconds.

Now that I'm out, I have to figure it out before going back, and by the way, find out if there is any way to get Xia Nianmo out of the Demon Gathering Island.

However, the protagonists all died.

She, the heroine, should be fine now, right?

…………

"Do you know? I heard that a few days ago, Xuanling Sect just held a funeral to mourn the Taoist partner of the Sect Master's daughter, Li Yunshang. From what I heard, the name seemed to be Ye Feng."

"Really? False? When did the daughter of the leader of Xuanling Sect have a Taoist partner?!"

"puff!"

Inside the restaurant, Xiao Yu, wearing a bamboo hat, sat in a corner to inquire about the news. When he heard a conversation between several people dressed like disciples at the next table.

One of them couldn't help but spit out the tea he had just drunk, with a look of surprise on his face.

What?

funeral!

When did the protagonist become Li Yunshang's Taoist partner?

The spitted tea sprayed onto the next table. A strong man heard the sound, turned around, and was caught off guard and sprayed all over.

Bad things! Xiao Yu shrank his neck when he came back to his senses. He took a closer look and found that the sturdy man was wearing the clothes of a disciple of Xuanling Sect. He was probably a disciple of Xuanling Sect.

"Are you blind? Where are you vomiting? Do you want me to teach you a lesson?!"

The next moment, the Xuanling Sect disciple stood up angrily, turned around and came to Xiao Yu, cracking his hand joints.

Zheng Fei was already in a bad mood today, and someone sprayed tea all over him. He was doing fine in the sect, but a few days ago he was suddenly called to a meeting and announced that a funeral would be held. When he saw that the dead person was Ye Feng, he was quite happy.

After all, he had some grudge against Ye Feng and was once severely slapped in the face by Ye Feng. Now seeing Ye Feng being buried in the ground like a dead man was really gratifying. Oh... not like a dead man, he was already dead, haha!

However, the next sentence made him feel like he was falling into an ice cellar. He saw the sect leader's daughter, Li Yunshang, wearing a white mourning dress, like she was in mourning. She came onto the stage with red eyes and burst into tears, saying that her senior brother sacrificed himself to protect her.

They had clearly become a couple long before, but now this incident suddenly happened and the young one had to die together.

She would remain a widow for three years for Senior Brother Ye and never marry.

Hearing his dream goddess say this, outer disciple Zheng Fei felt numb all over.

Li Yunshang is the dream lover of many people in Xuanling Sect, with her fair face, slim figure, and slender, jade-smooth hands. Although she is the daughter of the sect master, she cannot practice cultivation.

But it was this point that gave Zheng Fei a little bit of glimmer of hope. He was still qualified to pursue Li Yunshang. After all, she was just a mortal, not a cultivator.

Originally, he was fantasizing that when he had reached a high level of cultivation, he would kick the Mountain of Ten Thousand Beasts and punch the evil cultivators of the Demon Cult, and in front of everyone, he would rescue Li Yunshang from the group of monsters. By then, as a mortal, Li Yunshang would definitely fall in love with him.

So after learning that Li Yunshang had gone missing while out for fun, he ran out as quickly as possible, hoping to play the role of a hero saving a damsel in distress.

As a result, instead of waiting for a hero to save the beauty, the person he loved became a widow.

Depend on!

Although Li Yunshang, who has become a widow, sounds more attractive and evocative.

However, Li Yunshang didn't know what kind of adventure he encountered outside, but he was able to practice. In just a few days, he broke through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, far surpassing him, who had been lingering in the Qi Training Stage for several years.

He had absolutely no chance. Li Yunshang's achievements in the future would be no less than those saint sons and saint daughters, while he would always be a Qi training disciple who bullied others in the outer sect all his life. The two of them were like parallel lines that would never intersect, and even a glance at each other was a luxury.

So, he was heartbroken and came to the restaurant to drink and lament his lost youth.

Unexpectedly, I didn't get to drink the wine, but someone vomited tea all over me.

He was just worrying about having no place to vent his anger, and just in time, someone came to him.

"I'm sorry! I didn't hold it firmly. I'm sorry."

Looking at Zheng Fei walking towards him, Xiao Yu hurriedly apologized. Because of the effect of the Breath-Suppressing Talisman, he now looked no different from an ordinary person.

Zheng Fei thought so too. The guy in front of him was dressed in white and wearing a bamboo hat. His face could not be seen clearly, but judging from his exposed chin, he looked quite handsome and even familiar. There was no aura fluctuation around him. He should be a mortal and an easy target.

He grabbed Xiao Yu by the collar and said unceremoniously:

"Humph! These are my newly bought clothes, worth several high-grade spirit stones. Now that they have been soiled by you, you should at least give me some compensation, right? How about you pay for the meal for our table?"

Mortals, tremble in fear at my wrath.

He thought with disdain in his heart that there is a difference between immortals and mortals, and whenever there is a conflict between immortal cultivators and mortals, the immortal cultivators always benefit.

That's how the strong prey on the weak.

In the past, at this time, this person should be kneeling on the ground, trembling and saying something like "Master Immortal, please spare my life. I was blind and did not recognize a great man."

However, to his surprise, Xiao Yu spread his hands, understood the situation very well, and said calmly:

"I'm sorry, brother. I was in a hurry to leave this time and I don't have any money with me. How about we do it another day? I'll treat you to a meal another day."

Xiao Yu came out penniless this time and left all his spirit stones to Bai Yan. He came to this restaurant only because of the free tea.

He took a look at Zheng Fei's clothes, especially the diamond shape on his arm, and then said:

"Besides, aren't the clothes you're wearing the uniform for Xuanling Sect disciples? You're still an outer sect disciple at the lowest level, so where did you get those high-quality spirit stones? Don't ask for too much!"

Xiao Yu complained in his heart that he went to the black market and could get several boxes of it at wholesale prices with just a few medium-grade spirit stones.

Top-grade spirit stone...Are you wearing your school uniform as a suit?

By the way, this guy in front of him looks a little familiar. He looks a bit like a cannon fodder villain he met when he was taking the place of the protagonist.

"Stop talking nonsense to me. You came to the restaurant without any money. What are you doing here? Are you here to drink?"

Having said that, Zheng Fei loosened his grip on Xiao Yu's collar a little. This mortal was quite special as he even knew the attire of outer disciples.

Judging from his neither humble nor arrogant attitude, he could be a relative of a disciple in the sect.

Moreover, the more I looked at him, the more familiar he seemed, as if I had just met him not long ago.

Thinking of this, Zheng Fei loosened his grip on Xiao Yu a little.

At this moment, Xiao Yu's eyes lit up, he remembered who the guy in front of him was. He was the cannon fodder villain who was slapped in the face by him during the selection for promotion to inner disciples. No wonder he looked so familiar.

At the same time, several younger brothers who were silently observing behind Zheng Fei suddenly widened their eyes and recognized Xiao Yu who was being carried by their boss. Although he was covered by a hat, because he was carried by Zheng Fei, his head tilted back, revealing his face. This person was not a mortal at all, but the long-dead Ye Feng.

They had seen the horrific condition of the corpse. Its stomach was stabbed to pieces, its eyes were swollen, and blood was flowing from all seven orifices. It looked as if it had died with its eyes open. It was simply horrible, the kind of death that could not be more dead.

"Boss, he... he is Senior Brother Ye, the one who died protecting Li Yunshang!"

The younger brother's trembling voice sounded behind Zheng Fei.

Zheng Fei's body stiffened, and his originally arrogant demeanor instantly wilted. He looked at Xiao Yu who was being held in front of him, and his blood, which had been agitated by anger, instantly cooled down.

A chill ran from the top of my head to the soles of my feet.

Chapter 23: Pay it back before you die

Seeing the dead person standing in front of them alive again, they were frightened to the point of their scalps going numb. They saw with their own eyes how Ye Feng was buried. The body was stiff and emitted a stench of corpse. In other words, the person in front of them was a ghost!

"Ghost! There is a ghost!"

"Run away!"

"Today is the seventh day of the lunar calendar. Senior Brother Ye is back for revenge!"

Almost in an instant, Zheng Fei and his younger brothers didn't even think twice and ran out of the restaurant in a hurry. As for the boss Zheng Fei, he didn't even look at him.

As soon as they heard that there was a ghost, the guests at the tables around Xiao Yu fled.

Coincidentally, today is the Ghost Festival, a festival when the gates of hell are wide open. People have always been somewhat resistant to things like ghosts.

What's more, those who escaped were still shouting that it was the seventh day, which is when ghosts are most resentful.

These little bastards, damn it, they all ran away!

At this moment, Zheng Fei was the only one left, facing Xiao Yu who had come back from the dead, and he felt like crying but had no tears.

At this time, he came back to his senses after hearing his younger brother's call. Looking at Xiao Yu who was grabbed by the collar in front of him, Zheng Fei showed an ugly smile.

He carefully loosened his hand, straightened Xiao Yu's wrinkled collar, and said, "Yeah, long time no see. I didn't expect that you, Senior Brother Ye, would come up from below. Well... I remembered that my wife and children are still waiting for me at home for dinner, so I'll go back first."

Zheng Fei turned around and was about to run away, but a hand landed on his shoulder and pulled him back:

"Hey! I remember that you haven't found a wife yet, right, Junior Brother Zheng?"

Xiao Yu smiled slightly. Since he was recognized, there was nothing he could do. He just wanted to ask some questions. "Also, speaking of eating, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Junior Brother Zheng, why don't you treat me to a meal?!"

In the restaurant, Xiao Yu could only watch others eat while he himself drank the tea that had been mixed countless times. He had been feeling hungry for a long time, and Zheng Fei's arrival was just in time, like a timely help.

.........

After a sumptuous meal, Xiao Yu burped with satisfaction.

During this period, he also learned from Zheng Fei about the current situation of Xuanling Sect and the fact that Li Yunshang would remain a widow for the protagonist.

This scene, which was seriously inconsistent with the plot, attracted Xiao Yu's attention.

Sure enough, if you want to know how the protagonist Ye Feng died, you still have to find Li Yunshang, who you met last. I heard that she was the one who brought back the protagonist's body, so the clue may be with her.

In other words, we have to go to Xuanling Sect next.

At this time, Zheng Fei was sitting opposite Xiao Yu and shivering. He was obviously a big man, but now he was shaking like a little girl.

Are you that scared?

Xiao Yu looked at him strangely. Was it because he had no shadow or he couldn't feel the temperature of his hand?

After being looked at by Xiao Yu like this, dong! Zheng Fei knelt down directly, "Senior Brother Ye, every wrong has its perpetrator, I really thought you were easy to bully, so I offended you.

But didn't you get your anger out later? I'm just a small outer sect disciple, why are you looking for me? Go find Li Yunshang! Maybe she was the one who killed you, yes, it must be her."

Xiao Yu: "…………"

Look how scared the child is.

"Forget it, go away." He waved his hands helplessly. The other person was blind and couldn't see the shadow, so he didn't force it.
