The Way of Spiritual Journey

Chapter 15, Wangcai is Fierce

With the addition of Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, the situation on the field became more complicated.

The three barbarians were clearly taken aback; this change was something they hadn't anticipated.

"My friends, this woman is a spy from another tribe. Once we capture her, you will certainly be rewarded." One of the three men clasped his hands in a fist salute, speaking politely without hesitation.

Foreign spies? Weren't the three barbarians on the other side supposed to be foreigners? And their appearances are indeed different from those of people from the Central Plains. How could this be? Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong exchanged bewildered glances.

"Bullshit. You're the spies, your whole family are spies!" The woman was displeased upon hearing the three men's words and began to curse.

"My two brothers, I am from Dayuan. I am being hunted by barbarians. I hope you can help me. When I return to Dadu, I will make sure you live a life of luxury and wealth." After cursing the barbarians, the woman turned to look at the two brothers, Zhuge Liang and Feng Chu. Since she could call them "brothers," her promise didn't seem so out of place.

Upon hearing this, both Zhuge Liang and Feng Chu were taken aback. This woman must have quite a background. To be able to promise wealth and status to others, she couldn't possibly come from a humble family.

This situation is a bit awkward. Both sides have made grand promises, so which one should you accept?

The two mischievous children couldn't make up their minds for a moment, so they turned their attention to Li Lang. At this point, Li Lang's opinion was very important.

Seeing this, Li Lang could only chuckle softly, then shrug his shoulders and spread his hands, indicating that he was powerless to help.

Seeing the expressions on the faces of Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, the woman sighed inwardly, realizing she had made a mistake; these two were simply brainless.

But when she saw Li Lang's expression, she felt only anger. What was he pretending for? How did he have the ability when he was hugging me just now?

The woman was furious but helpless. In the end, she could only reach into her bosom, pull out something, hesitate for a moment, and then throw it to Li Lang.

"This is proof. If you can help me return to Dadu, I will fulfill my promise tenfold." The woman knew that Li Lang might be her only chance to turn the tide today.

Therefore, she doesn't mind making the pie bigger, just to see if the other party has the courage, or even the life to eat it.

This woman, despite her average looks, has an extraordinary presence and a commanding manner, which is somewhat befitting of her martial arts training.

Li Lang looked at the object in his hand, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

This is a jade plaque, bright red in color, warm to the touch, with a lifelike phoenix design on it that seems to leap off the surface; it is clearly a superior piece.

"Hmm, whoever can produce this must be no ordinary person, and is qualified to make empty promises." Li Lang nodded to himself, already having a good idea of ​​what was going on.

Li Lang calmly tucked the jade pendant into his robes, then stood still as steady as an old dog.

That's it?

The woman was stunned. Was that all? Had she thrown a good thing to a dog?

Even the Crouching Dragon and the Young Phoenix were confused. What did this mean? Which side should we take?

The barbarians were finally bewildered. Was this dissatisfaction? Did it mean there was still room for negotiation? Sure enough, the Yuan people were all fools; only gold was considered hard currency!

For a moment, the scene was as silent as someone suffering from constipation.

"Ahem, friend, don't listen to her nonsense. Gold is the only hard currency in this world. Here's what we'll do: help us capture this woman and come back with me. Our lord will reward you handsomely." One of the barbarians coughed twice, stepped forward, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and spoke earnestly.

Upon hearing this, Li Lang remained calm and composed, his expression unchanged.

"Huh—"

The Crouching Dragon and the Young Phoenix were different; both emitted disdainful snorts. It turned out these three were just all talk; the gold they'd mentioned earlier had vanished without a trace. This fully exposed their true nature: utterly dishonest.

"Go back with you? I'll give you a piece of my mind!" Wolong and Fengchu cursed inwardly. They had always deeply despised people who lacked integrity.

So they turned their attention to Li Lang, and the three of them exchanged glances and made a decision.

"Sigh, you're right." Li Lang sighed, looked at the barbarians, and shook his head, saying, "As the ancients said, women and petty men are the most difficult to deal with. My mother also said long ago that the better a woman's figure, the more deadly she is; you can't touch her even a little bit. I'll help you."

The woman was shocked to hear this, while the barbarian was secretly delighted.

At that moment, Li Lang moved abruptly; he snapped his fingers.

"Aaaah!" A scream came from the tree. It was the voice of the little saint. He held a large fruit in his hand and smashed it down on the barbarian's head.

The barbarian looked up, saw this scene, and was filled with confusion.

It's understandable if you don't understand, because monkeys climb trees and throw fruit at people without ever needing explanation. If you really want an explanation, then Wangcai has the final say.

To be fair, Wangcai is quite good. Having been by Li Lang's side for over a year, his demeanor has changed significantly under his influence.

The savage and brutal instincts of beasts are rarely seen in Wangcai anymore; it still understands some principles.

Wangcai even knew that being right didn't require shouting. So it didn't roar; it had to explain quietly.

"call!"

That was the sound of the wind. Wangcai appeared in a flash, accompanied by a strong gust of wind. With another leap, he was already in front of the barbarian. The whole movement was graceful and elegant; and its explanation was even more concise and powerful.

"what!"

It was a scream, a scream so terrible it was horrifying.

The three men—Wolong, Fengchu, and Li Lang—turned pale, their eyes filled with fear. At the same time, they clenched their legs together and trembled slightly, as if they had been greatly frightened.

The woman beside her was shocked again by what she saw, her mouth agape and her eyes filled with unbearable terror. She was, by all accounts, a worldly person, but Wangcai's explanation still shattered her understanding.

Wangcai's explanation was powerful and concise, without a single wasted word. Unfortunately, only one person understood it.

Wangcai's meaning can be expressed in just four characters: "feint to the east while attacking in the west." Don't be fooled by its simplicity; the meaning it contains is profound and complex—it's military strategy, a vast subject of study, and most people would never be able to learn it.

Okay, if you didn't understand, that's fine. But if you did understand, then you'll have to pay some tuition. Wangcai doesn't want money; it's not greedy. Money is useless to it.

Hehe, we've gotten back to this topic. Well then, let's leave it at that. Forget about the big part; it's too much for me to handle. I'll just reluctantly take the small part.

Wangcai took a bite of the barbarian's highly nutritious lower body, turned around and ran away, considering it tuition paid.

That barbarian was in a terrible predicament. This was a forced sale! He didn't want to learn anything, and he certainly didn't want to pay any tuition. Besides, the tuition was far too expensive. That thing was his lifeline!

The barbarian clutched his groin, fell to the ground screaming, his body trembling violently, the blood flowing so profusely it was unbearable to look at.

Seeing this, the other two barbarians, who hadn't understood, were terrified. Was it really that scary? Their gazes towards Li Lang changed; he was simply not human. And that dog, without uttering a word, immediately bit his groin—was that a human dog?
