156: Chapter 156 I'm already so pitiful, and you still bully me.

Damn it, could it be... This Great King really guessed right?

"Wooo wooo wooo!"

Gu Shuangshuang suddenly began to sob, looking as pitiful as a pear blossom bathed in rain.

"I knew it... he must have known long ago... wooo wooo, my mother said my father's eyes have been looking at me differently lately; so he really did know..."

"It's over, it's over. He definitely wants to use your hand to get rid of us mother and daughter, so he can legitimately marry that little slut..."

Hiss!!!

Chun Xiaobai scratched his head. Listening to Gu Shuangshuang's tearful complaint, he instantly imagined a melodramatic high-society drama.

Her enchanting mother wasn't content with loneliness and had cuckolded the Sect Master.

The Sect Master didn't dare to act out for the sake of Face, and now he was going with the flow, using this 'vicious bandit' to play out a plot of 'killing his wife and daughter with a borrowed knife'?

Doesn't that mean... I accidentally did a 'good deed'?

Chun Xiaobai scratched his head, muttering to himself.

Doesn't that mean this fat fish has fallen into my hands today?

"Wooo wooo wooo!" Gu Shuangshuang sobbed again, crying so hard her heart seemed to be breaking.

"My mother... wooo wooo... my mother didn't do it on purpose. She just once entered a Secret Realm and accidentally got poisoned by an aphrodisiac..."

"...only then did she make a mistake... she never thought of betraying my father, wooo wooo..."

"Father... why doesn't Father want me anymore? I didn't have a choice... why doesn't he want me anymore..."

She cried so hard it moved heaven and earth; her little Face was pale, and her large eyes were filled with tears.

That pitiful look made Chun Xiaobai's heart soften, as if he really had become the heinous villain who breaks up couples and families.

"Alright, alright, stop crying!"

Chun Xiaobai really couldn't bear it; bullying an innocent victim of family drama, a child with no love from her father or mother, was indeed pitiful.

However, just as he opened his mouth to say, "Forget it, you can go."

A flash of inspiration suddenly struck his mind.

Wait!

What if... she's lying to me?

Uh!!!

Thinking of this possibility, Chun Xiaobai quietly let a divine glow cover his eyes without showing any emotion.

Sure enough, under his careful observation.

Although this woman was crying with snot and tears, and the sadness on her Face didn't seem fake.

But deep in her eyes, there wasn't a hint of true panic; there was even a trace of joy hidden there, as if a conspiracy was about to succeed!

Chun Xiaobai sneered in his heart. His figure flashed, and he delivered another backhanded slap, cleanly hitting that soft flesh again.

Smack!

The loud sound echoed three times in this silent cave before finally fading.

This slap directly stunned Gu Shuangshuang!

She immediately forgot to cry, her almond eyes wide with anger as she shouted, "You... you... are you even human! I'm already so pitiful, yet you still bully me?!"

"Holy crap!!!"

Ten thousand grass mud horses galloped through Chun Xiaobai's heart; This Great King really guessed right!

He discovered that none of these women were simple!

Their schemes are deeper than Wanling Mountain!

His ten years of rich experience as a Mountain King almost fell into this little woman's hands!

"Pitiful my ass! Are you as pitiful as This Great King?"

Chun Xiaobai was fuming. "I lost my mother at birth, my father died when I was three, and I grew up eating from a hundred different households. Who else can I rely on besides myself?"

"Is it easy for me to be a bandit? You damn girl still lied to me like this!"

Uh!!!

When he said this, a trace of sympathy actually appeared in Gu Shuangshuang's eyes.

"Oh, I didn't expect you to be even more miserable than me."

"Screw you! Don't try to get close to This Great King!" Chun Xiaobai waved his hand, interrupting her performance.

"Cooperate honestly and suffer less!"

"Anyway, the ransom This Great King wants will come from your Sect's treasury; it has nothing to do with you!"

"Think about it yourself: your life is your own, but the money belongs to the Sect!"

Huh? Gu Shuangshuang's large eyes darted around.

"What you said... seems to make quite a bit of sense."

She tilted her head and thought it over carefully, a glint of cunning flashing in her beautiful eyes.

Then she lowered her voice and leaned in mysteriously.

"Um... Fellow Daoist bandit, how about this? Let's ask for more, and then... we split it fifty-fifty, what do you think?"

"I'm telling you, that father of mine is a total bastard!"

"And he's especially rich, and especially stingy!"

Uh!!!

Chun Xiaobai was stunned again, staring wide-eyed at the woman before him whose vibe had suddenly changed.

He remembered.

When he first saw this woman, she was full of righteous indignation, treating him like a Tiansha Valley devil cultivator pretending to be a Righteous Path Disciple, and she almost killed him with one sword strike.

Thinking about it now, she hadn't confirmed his identity at all back then; she clearly wanted to label him a Devil Head first so she could legitimately rob him!

When he was extorting her earlier, she 'compromised' before he even spoke; she was clearly very familiar with a kidnapper's routine.

And now, she could actually turn things around and use him, a legitimate bandit, to join forces and make a fortune!

Hiss... this damn girl is a genius!

She even dares to rob her own father!

Chun Xiaobai was suddenly a bit tempted.

Gu Shuangshuang blinked her large eyes at the side, looking at him expectantly.

"How about it, Fellow Daoist bandit?"

"I'm telling you, I've been looking for my father's three big treasuries for years and couldn't find where he hid them. This opportunity is once in a lifetime!"

"Deal!" Chun Xiaobai didn't hesitate much and agreed immediately.

This was practically business delivered to his door; only a fool wouldn't do it!

Gu Shuangshuang's beautiful eyes immediately crinkled into crescents, and then she generously reached out her hand.

"Then why haven't you given me back my clothes?"

Without a word, Chun Xiaobai took her dress out of his storage ring.

As Gu Shuangshuang briskly put it on, she rolled her eyes and muttered, "Alright, alright, people of the Jianghu don't sweat the small stuff. I let you take some advantage of me, and you don't even know how to say thank you!"

Uh!!!

Chun Xiaobai was stunned once more; he discovered that this woman was not only black-hearted but also had a bit of the bold and straightforward style of a Jianghu woman; she was quite open-minded.

Before he could regain his senses, Gu Shuangshuang had already taken out an image-recording stone and activated it. Then, with a natural movement, she pulled Chun Xiaobai into her arms and began her exquisite performance for the image-recording stone.

"Wooo wooo... Father! Your daughter accidentally stepped into a bandit's trap and was kidnapped by him... come save me quickly... wooo wooo..."

As she cried, one hand gently moved toward her lower abdomen, her voice carrying a hint of despair and misery.

"Father... if you don't come save me... the child in my belly and I... will... will..."

Chun Xiaobai followed her hand and looked at her belly, his eyes growing wider and wider, his mouth hanging open wide enough to fit an egg.

"Holy crap!"

"How do I feel like I, a Mountain King, have instead become a little brother in front of her?"
