45: Section 45

Even if many more people went, they would only be adding more food for the Demon.

Xu Miaoyin frowned slightly, she hadn't expected such a hidden truth.

“If that's the case, then it’s really tricky.”

Liao Ming, who was standing nearby, spoke up.

“Legend has it that there is an evil art in the Western Regions, which is the method of refining human puppets. After being refined into human puppets, their hearing and pain are stripped away, and with their martial arts that exchange injury for life, they make the best dead soldiers.”

“Currently, Demons in Great Song are not prominent and rarely appear.”

“Perhaps these bandits from Black Wind Stronghold obtained this secret art of refining human puppets, which is why they are capturing people everywhere.”

Liao Ming’s explanation was well-reasoned.

This made the female Disciples of the Snow Woman Sect breathe a sigh of relief.

If this were the case, there wouldn't be much to worry about.

Su Mo looked at Liao Ming speechlessly. Well, this guy was practically the Prince of overthinking.

But he could only warn them so much.

Then he turned to look at Xu Miaoyin.

“Sect Head Xu, I think it’s best to handle this matter cautiously.”

“Those bandits are very evil.”

Seeing Su Mo’s serious expression, Xu Miaoyin nodded.

“Okay, Boss Su, I will pay attention to it from now on.”

Seeing this, Su Mo no longer lingered.

“It’s 2 qian of silver in total. You can leave after you finish eating; I don’t have accommodation here.”

After speaking, Su Mo returned to the kitchen.

Looking at the departing Su Mo, a hint of longing appeared in Xu Miaoyin’s large eyes. She had already taken Su Mo’s words to heart.

If there really were Demons, then cultivators would be needed to deal with them.

As someone from the Jianghu, she would only be courting death if she went.

How could she die before she and Su Lang could fly together as a pair?

Thinking of this, Xu Miaoyin immediately looked at the other Snow Woman Sect Disciples.

“Let’s go now, back to the School!”

Youlan was a bit worried. The Snow Woman Sect was currently short on money, and this sum of silver would definitely solve their urgent needs.

“Sect Head?”

“Leave now!”

Xu Miaoyin’s attitude was very firm.

“Oh, right, remember to pay!”

“Okay!”

Then Youlan took out two qian of silver and placed it on the table. Before the city gates closed, everyone rode away on their horses.

Before leaving, Xu Miaoyin glanced at the “Linjiang Spring” plaque.

Su Lang, I’ll be back in a few days…

…

Watching Xu Miaoyin and the others leave, the clever scholar Xiao Qing looked at Liao Ming.

“Third Brother, what do you think?”

Liao Ming had no intention of leaving.

“I have a sarira that Master gave me back then. Once it’s out, ordinary Demons wouldn’t dare act presumptuously.”

“It’s good that they left; no one will compete with us for the bounty now.”

Bai Manshan showed a hint of regret.

“It’s a pity that our business was ruined by the Blood Clothes Tower people, otherwise why would we be risking our lives for this little money!”

“Blood Clothes Tower, truly despicable!”

Chapter 53: New “love affair life” Character, Empress Xiao Huang of Great Zhou!

After Bai Manshan and the two others left, and after cleaning up and sending Guo Lin off, Su Mo finally lay on his bed.

At this moment, his mind was filled with Xu Miaoyin’s incredibly stunning figure; she was simply a captivating vixen!

What a pity.

No matter how delicious.

He couldn't have a woman like that.

And now that she was gone, it would probably be difficult for her to return to this small county town.

He wondered when Chun Zhu would come to see him. He knew his own status very well.

On Earth, Chun Zhu was equivalent to a female secretary beside a county leader.

Being able to get a girl like that was already very good.

For a moment.

Su Mo was restless and felt his fingers itching…

It had been about ten days since he last simulated, and the restaurant would open in two days. He could simulate all night today and all day tomorrow.

Perhaps, he could try simulating today to see if he would get a good start.

No sooner said than done.

Su Mo prayed in his heart, hoping that this time he wouldn't be a small farmer, a small vendor, or a pimp.

Summoning “love affair life”, Su Mo skillfully opened the interface.

【“love affair life” activated.】

【Start simulation?】

Without the slightest hesitation.

“Start!”

【Randomizing birthplace.】

At this moment, images of many places began to flash on the screen, which excited Su Mo. He wondered if he would be given a better birthplace.

Finally.

The screen stopped.

【Your simulated birthplace this time is the Imperial Palace of the Da Zhou Dynasty.】

Imperial Palace?

Su Mo’s heart trembled. Finally, he had a better start!

Otherwise, he would have to endure another long wait this time.

【Randomizing “love affair life” character.】

【Your randomly bound “love affair life” character this time is Empress “Xiao Huang” of Great Zhou!】

Xiao Huang?

Su Mo was a little confused.

Was there such an Empress in the historical Dynasties named Great Zhou?

However, considering that this was, after all, a world created by Zhu Jiuyin, some differences were understandable.

【Randomizing identity.】

【Your randomly selected identity this time is the Third Prince of the Da Zhou Dynasty!】

Third Prince?

“…”

Su Mo was silent for a long time.

Huh?

His identity was the Third Prince, but the “love affair life” character was the Empress. What kind of life script was this?!

Su Mo had a headache.

But he still bit the bullet and continued the simulation, hoping for a better talent…

…

【Randomizing talent.】

【Your randomly selected talent this time is “Haoran Righteousness”!】

As purple light flashed, Su Mo also saw the talent description for this time.

【Haoran Righteousness: You are born with a powerful, supreme, and firm Haoran Righteousness. You can borrow the majesty of heaven and earth to condense Haoran Light to protect yourself, which has an extremely powerful deterrent effect on Demons.】

【Hidden hint: This talent is initially weak and needs to be carefully cultivated by improving your inner qualities of righteousness, integrity, light, and fearlessness.】

…

Seeing that it was a purple talent, Su Mo was a bit surprised.

He actually managed to get it.

The talent effect looked quite powerful from the description. It didn't make it into the golden talent tier, probably because of its Innate weakness.

If that was the case, then he really had to consider his options carefully when they appeared.

He should try his best to make his simulated self choose in the direction of righteousness, integrity, light, and fearlessness.

Only then could this Haoran Righteousness be nurtured to grow stronger.

But Su Mo didn’t have much desire for this talent.

He considered himself greedy for money and lustful, and lacked foresight.

To put it broadly, he was someone who was cautious about big matters but would risk his life for small gains.

To put it simply, he was just a common person.

Even if “Haoran Righteousness” was eventually rewarded to him, that sense of righteousness would probably quickly extinguish once it entered his body.

However, Su Mo really wanted to see what this Empress looked like.

Someone who could be an Empress should not have a bad appearance.

Just as Su Mo was thinking, the simulation had already begun.

On the screen.

Su Mo was born…

…

【You were born in the Imperial Palace of the Da Zhou Dynasty.】

【On the day of your birth, the palace was filled with joy. Emperor Deji Su Tianming personally bestowed the name Su Mo upon you, the Third Prince.】

Seeing that the Great Zhou Emperor in the picture was named Su Tianming and was a male, Su Mo was a bit surprised.

Because he saw that the “love affair life” target for this simulation was the Empress of this Great Zhou.

Could it be that

after this Emperor abdicates, that outsider Xiao Huang will ascend the throne?

If that were the case.
