65: Chapter 65 One Village, Three Gods

“Young people nowadays really have no manners at all. You, on the other hand, Young Qian, are quite polite.”

The Man in White smiled slightly. “The Prefect must be joking. Speaking of manners, certain mud-legged bumpkins indeed know nothing of them.”

“Have you two said enough?”

Kang Dalei's face darkened with frustration.

Did they really think his Death Fishing Village was a pushover?

Prefect Leng Feng turned his head, wearing an expression that was incredibly begging to be beaten.

“Oh, what's wrong? Don't tell me you're getting anxious.”

[Ding! Temporary quest issued: Repel the group from Yuanchu Mountain and shock Prefect Leng Feng three times. Reward: Primordial Spirit Divine Tree.]

“Great. Since a quest has arrived, I won't hold back anymore.”

Kang Dalei suddenly seemed to become a different person, his aura rising sharply.

Since the system had issued a quest, there was no need for him to play nice anymore.

Just as Kang Dalei was about to unleash his cultivation aura, a voice from the doorway made him instantly halt his momentum.

“You bastard! Leaving me behind to run off on your own? You're dead meat, Kang Dalei!”

A familiar voice, a familiar recipe.

Without even guessing, just hearing the voice was enough to know who had returned.

“Ruan Mi.”

“Da Mimi.”

Upon hearing Ruan Mi's voice, Xiahou La and Old He immediately went to greet her.

The three of them all came from the Heavenly Demon Sect and had been doing missions together for many years, so their relationship was naturally incredibly close.

Seeing Xiahou La and Old He, Ruan Mi was also very happy.

After they chatted briefly, Ruan Mi interrupted the two of them.

“Don't interfere today. We'll catch up some other time. Today, I'm going to fight that bastard to the death.”

Ruan Mi pushed past everyone and walked in.

Seeing Kang Dalei, Ruan Mi put her hands on her hips, threw her head back, and glared at him.

“Kang Dalei, you jerk! Ptooey! Leaving me behind and running off—tell me, how many times has this been?”

Ruan Mi was truly exploding with rage.

When you wake up alone in the middle of nowhere and realize your acquaintance has abandoned you, you would understand Ruan Mi's current feelings.

Kang Dalei ignored Ruan Mi. Or rather, the current situation was simply not suitable for bickering with her, so he shot her a meaningful look.

But with Ruan Mi's intelligence, she probably wouldn't understand even under normal circumstances, let alone when her anger was fully maxed out.

“Ptooey! You bastard, stop winking and making faces at me! I admit your squinty eyes look a bit like Li Ronghao, but don't think that's going to make me forgive you!”

The more Ruan Mi spoke, the angrier she got, completely ignoring the group from Yuanchu Mountain next to them.

At this moment, everyone was first dazed by Ruan Mi's sudden appearance, then bewildered, and finally utterly confused.

“Hahaha, you little bastard, you really have quite a few enemies!”

Prefect Leng Feng was the first to speak up, unable to hold back.

Following Prefect Leng Feng's words, the Man in White from Yuanchu Mountain also said:

“Little girl, since you have a grudge against this person, that makes things easy. Kang Dalei is suspected of multiple crimes and has now been captured by our Yuanchu Mountain. He will be executed in a few days.”

“What?” When Ruan Mi heard the Man in White's words, she was completely dumbfounded.

Her body trembled, her small hands fluttered about in a fluster, her delicate brows knitted slightly, and her small mouth was tightly shut.

Seeing her like this, everyone was somewhat taken aback.

Especially Prefect Leng Feng, who had a bad feeling and said:

“This girl couldn't possibly like Kang Dalei, could she?”

Tension, anxiety, worry, flusteredness—if this wasn't affection, what was it?

When he pursued Qingyu back then, it was exactly like this.

Seeing Ruan Mi's expression, Kang Dalei's face grew even more unsightly.

“Little Mimi, if you want to laugh, just laugh. Stop fucking pretending.”

“Hahaha...”

Just as Kang Dalei finished speaking, Ruan Mi indeed burst into hearty laughter, doubling over with pure delight.

“You bastard, I didn't think you'd see this day! Don't worry, on this day next year, I will definitely pay respects at your grave.”

Ruan Mi stepped aside, clearing a path for the group from Yuanchu Mountain.

With that bastard captured, wouldn't she be the boss of the Death Fishing Village from now on?

“Hahaha, good catch! That's what you get for bullying me!”

Seeing Ruan Mi step back and the Yuanchu Mountain group prepare to make their move, Kang Dalei also began to condense his Sha energy, preparing for a fight to the death.

But just then, the six of them announced Kang Dalei's death sentence and crimes once again.

And because of this, Ruan Mi grew anxious.

“Wait. What did you say?”

Ruan Mi shifted her confused gaze to the six judges of Yuanchu Mountain.

“You said Kang Dalei is going to die?”

The six of them were puzzled, but they still nodded truthfully.

But in the next second, Ruan Mi stepped directly in front of Kang Dalei, her sharp gaze sweeping across the crowd.

“If you dare touch him, I'll kill you all!”

As she unleashed her Divine Venerable power, the Black Silver Snow Leopard stood majestically beside her.

A Divine Venerable! Another Divine Venerable!

The people from Yuanchu Mountain were completely dumbfounded.

“How can a tiny Death Fishing Village have so many Divine Venerables?”

The Man in White gnashed his teeth in anger.

Commander Lin Wen alone was already hard enough to deal with, and now another Divine Venerable had appeared. Was he even going to survive this?

He had originally thought he was just killing an effortless target who had no background, no family influence, and hadn't reached the Divine Venerable realm. That was why he had volunteered for this task, and with his senior sister's strong recommendation, he had secured it. He never expected that the Death Fishing Village would be guarded by two Divine Venerables.

“Miss, didn't you have a grudge against this person? Why are you protecting him now?”

The Man in White really could not understand what this woman—who wore black mesh underwear and had her hair in a large black braid—was trying to do.

One moment she wanted revenge on Kang Dalei, and the next she was protecting him.

“Cut the crap. He's my man, so naturally only I can touch him. If you're not happy about it, let's fight. I've wanted to test the strength of you Yuanchu Mountain geniuses for a long time.”

Her aura soared; Ruan Mi had already reached the peak of Body Refining Stage 6.

“Good, good, good!” the Man in White barked out the word “good” three times.

“Since you insist on seeking death, do not blame our Yuanchu Mountain for showing no respect to a Divine Venerable.”

With a wave of his hands, the six of them charged out together, and the Man in White directly clashed with Ruan Mi.

He want to see what right this woman had to be so arrogant.

However, as soon as they clashed, he noticed something was wrong. Ruan Mi's attacks were incredibly heavy and powerful, and her defense was absurdly high. Despite both being in the Danyun Realm, his attacks landing on Ruan Mi only made her frown slightly.

“What's going on? Is she not in the Danyun Realm, but the Undying Realm?”

The Man in White was horrified, the strength in his hands steadily weakening.

Facing Ruan Mi, he was truly finding it difficult to hold his ground.

With her body refining being half a stage lower, and possessing the Five-Colored Sha, along with having soaked in the divine blood pool, Ruan Mi was also an enhanced Body Refinement Divine Venerable.

Therefore, her actual combat power was even a fraction stronger than the peak of the Danyun Realm.

She was at the threshold of the Undying Realm.

If anyone was the most embarrassed right now, it had to be Prefect Leng Feng, who was standing aside watching the show, eating popcorn, acting as a troublemaker, and drawing aggro.

When he saw that Ruan Mi was actually going head-to-head with the people from Yuanchu Mountain for Kang Dalei's sake, his heart went cold.

He hadn't expected that the Death Fishing Village would have another hidden Divine Venerable.

The previous Marquis, the current Danyun with Undying combat power, plus his daughter in the Undying Realm—the Death Fishing Village had a total of three Divine Venerables.

This combat power was already enough to qualify them as a second-tier great family.

“Damn it, how many things is this little bastard still hiding from me?”

With Ruan Mi joining the fray, the disadvantage on Kang Dalei's side clearly improved quite a bit.

But after all, the opponents had seven people. Even with Commander Lin Wen fighting desperately and Ruan Mi possessing both offense and defense, they still couldn't gain much of an advantage.

Suddenly, Prefect Leng Feng's shoulder was patted, and Kang Dalei sat down beside him with a beaming smile.

“Prefect Leng, you seem to be in quite high spirits today.”

“Well, uh, you know, morning, Dalei.”

Prefect Leng Feng began to stammer, feeling more than a little embarrassed.

Just a moment ago he was gloating, and in the blink of an eye, he had been slapped in the face.

Except for someone as thick-skinned as Kang Dalei, no one could feel at ease at a moment like this.

“What did you say just now? I didn't hear you.”
