55: Chapter 55 Isn't this also a kind of pure love warrior?

"Ah!!!"

"Murder! Murder!"

"Run! Run quickly!"

In the shantytown, the moment the head of that lavishly dressed youth hit the ground.

Finally, the silence born of initial shock was broken. Numerous commoners reacted, letting out screams like slaughtered pigs as they fled frantically.

As for the besieged woman, she had been terrified into a stupor, her legs losing all strength to run.

She opened her mouth wide, watching Qin Muyuan slowly approach her after killing the lavishly dressed youth, her heart filled with an unspeakable terror.

Feeling the grim murderous Qi emanating from Qin Muyuan, along with the dense stench of blood like an evil ghost crawling out of a blood pool, the woman's legs turned soft.

She collapsed directly onto the ground.

At this moment, she had only one thought in her mind:

"Just escaped the tiger's den, only to enter the wolf's lair!"

However, that blood-drenched youth did not raise his sword to execute her as well.

Instead, he slowly approached her and said:

"Hello beauty, do you have any unfulfilled wishes or desires?"

As soon as those words were spoken, a wave of sorrow washed over the woman's heart—he really was going to kill her!

Qin Muyuan looked at the woman, whose heart was as dead as ashes, and frowned.

"Why can't these NPCs be like Xiao Chang, giving whatever quest is asked about?"

He had spoken so tactfully, asking what desires the woman had so he could help her fulfill them.

As a result, this woman still looked utterly terrified out of her wits.

Really, was he really that terrifying just because his body carried a slightly denser stench of blood and he had killed a few more people?

Qin Muyuan was speechless in his heart, and immediately gave Wangcai a kick.

"Shoo! Look at you, you've scared others, haven't you?"

"Awooo awooo?!"

Wangcai let out a whimpering cry, its pair of wolf pupils instantly filled with grievance.

Terrifying?

Was it itself that was terrifying?

The wolf demon Wangcai howled a few times, but didn't dare say anything else, and could only aggrievedly distance itself with a wronged expression.

Otherwise... Qin Muyuan would blame it again for scaring people...

Clearly the one who was terrifying was Qin Muyuan himself...

Having kicked Wangcai, Qin Muyuan's mood value recovered a bit. He squatted down, looked at the woman sitting paralyzed on the ground, and said:

"Don't worry, I'm a good person, I won't do anything to you."

"G-Good... good person?"

Out of the corner of her eye, the woman caught a glimpse of Qin Muyuan's bone nail, which was still dripping fresh blood. Her body trembled, and she was almost moved to tears:

"H-Hero! I beg you, please spare my life! I... I still need to search for my husband, I cannot die!"

"Husband?" Qin Muyuan captured a keyword:

"Your husband is missing? Tell me about you and your husband, perhaps I can help you."

Under Qin Muyuan's comforting words, the woman tremblingly spoke of her husband's matters.

At this moment, a quest panel also popped up in front of Qin Muyuan.

[The woman Chen Shuang fearfully issues a quest to you]

[Quest: Bring Chen Shuang to meet her husband Liang Jiujiu]

[According to Chen Shuang's description, after her husband Liang Jiujiu raised funds, he entered Huoyun City to do business. During this period, the two maintained constant correspondence through letters. However, starting from a certain day, Liang Jiujiu suddenly had no news and completely lost contact. People around rumored that Liang Jiujiu had already taken up with a certain aristocratic Young Miss, but Chen Shuang firmly believed that Liang Jiujiu would not abandon her, and insisted on personally coming to Huoyun City solely to retrieve her husband]

[Quest rewards: EXP + 1000, Mall Points + 8000, White Skill · Remove Your Equipment]

The quest panel appeared. Qin Muyuan glanced over it briefly, finding it to be an extremely clichéd ancient story.

It was just like the story of some talented scholar who had a wife in the countryside, then went to the city for imperial examinations, and after passing, abandoned his wife and children to get together with a great aristocratic Young Miss.

Translated to modern times, it was a story like "I am growing, what about you?" or "The first sword after going ashore slays the beloved first."

However.

This woman named Chen Shuang insisted that her relationship with her husband was exceptionally good, and her husband Liang Jiujiu would definitely not abandon her.

Therefore, Chen Shuang traveled thousands of miles from the small county where she lived to Huoyun City, purely to search for her husband Liang Jiujiu.

"If I truly find Jiujiu and discover that he loves another... then I will sever our marital ties right there and then."

Prompted by Qin Muyuan's questioning, Chen Shuang actually forgot her fear, her tone resolute:

"But if I do not go look, what if... Jiujiu has met with a mishap and desperately needs me?"

"If I cannot find Jiujiu, my heart will not be at ease!"

Hearing this, Qin Muyuan understood.

This Chen Shuang had a love-addled brain.

Mm, put in ancient terms, she was a "fierce and resolute woman."

"Your quest, I accept it!"

Qin Muyuan stood up and said.

The quest reward wasn't high, but anyway it was inside Huoyun City, right on the way.

Accepting this quest wouldn't hurt either.

Most importantly:

Qin Muyuan was a pure love warrior!

Although he read NTR dōjinshi.

However, he only read NTR dōjinshi.

How was this not also a form of pure love warrior?!

As a pure love warrior, encountering such a faithless person, Qin Muyuan naturally resolutely accepted the quest to demand an explanation for the love-addled Chen Shuang.

With these thoughts in mind, Qin Muyuan stood up and called out to the aggrieved-looking Wangcai.

"Wangcai, carry her on your back."

"Awooo."

Although Wangcai's face was full of grievance, it still decisively picked up Chen Shuang in its mouth and heaved her onto its back.

"Ah!"

Chen Shuang, tossed onto the wolf's back, was filled with endless terror in her heart.

Yet when she saw Qin Muyuan leading her out of the shantytown and toward the gates of Huoyun City, she still mustered up her courage and asked:

"Th-This hero, where are you taking me?"

"Entering the city to find that sweetheart of yours, and make him give you an explanation."

Entering the city?

A trace of bitterness flashed across Chen Shuang's face as she said:

"I am a lowly citizen, without a travel pass, nor do I have money to bribe the city-guarding soldiers. How could I ever enter the city..."

It was precisely because she couldn't enter the city that Chen Shuang temporarily resided in the shantytown, earning some money by washing clothes and cooking for people.

Then, by economizing and saving money, she hoped that one day she could gather enough silver to bribe the city guards to let her enter Huoyun City to search for her husband.

"Don't worry."

Qin Muyuan's calm voice rang out.

Then they saw Qin Muyuan leading Wangcai, bypassing the line of people waiting to enter the city, and heading straight toward the city gate.

As he walked, Qin Muyuan said:

"When I enter the city, I never need a travel pass or money."

No need for a travel pass or money?

Chen Shuang's heart was filled with doubt.

Could it be that this hero before her came from some high-ranking aristocratic family?

Relying solely on this face, he could make all the city guards recognize him and then let him pass?

Just as Chen Shuang was wondering, Qin Muyuan arrived at the city gate and deployed his "city-entering method requiring no travel pass or money."

Slash!

The sound of a sword ringing out echoed.

Several pillars of blood shot into the sky, and a few heads hit the ground.

Amidst the gazes of Chen Shuang and the countless dumbfounded commoners, Qin Muyuan cut down the city guards and walked straight into the gates of Huoyun City.

"Entering a city still requires a travel pass and money? Where did such backwater rules come from? I go wherever I want to go."

"Awooo!"

Wangcai let out an approving wolf howl, carrying Chen Shuang on its back as it kept up with Qin Muyuan's pace.
