Chapter 5: You Are Alive, I Am Not Satisfied! (2/2)

Ning Wuxie put away the knife and turned back into the house.

After a while, he carried Jiang Ningxuan out.

“Xuan’er, are these the people?”

Xuan’er looked at the corpses scattered all over the small street, her little face turning pale with fright.

However, upon seeing the few people Ning Wuxie pointed at, she felt extremely angry.

“It’s them!”

Ning Wuxie patted Xuan’er’s little head: “Brother has already helped you kill them. Your grandfather in heaven should be at ease now.”

The sight of so many dead bodies was a bit too terrifying. Xuan’er glanced at them a couple of times before hugging Ning Wuxie again, not wanting to look anymore.

Her soft voice whispered in Ning Wuxie’s ear: “Thank you, brother.”

Ning Wuxie smiled and gently stroked Xuan’er’s back.

Since the grudge was settled, Ning Wuxie did not want to kill anymore. Those who ran away could be left alone.

He turned to Zhao Heihu, his face immediately turning cold as iron: “Take me to your gang.”

“Sir, there’s no need for that. Most of our people have already been killed by you…”

Zhao Heihu forced a very unpleasant smile on his face.

Clang—

Ning Wuxie flicked his long knife.

“Alright, alright, I will take you there right now!”

With Xuan’er in tow, Ning Wuxie arrived at the Black Tiger Gang.

He did not intend to wipe everyone out; instead, he needed money, supplies, and transportation for the journey ahead.

The Black Tiger Gang happened to have all of these, and killing them all would make it inconvenient to take what he needed.

Ning Wuxie looted all the silver from the Black Tiger Gang and seized the best horse carriage in the gang.

Zhao Heihu covered his injured arm and directed the surviving subordinates to load food onto the carriage, as if afraid Ning Wuxie would go hungry.

“Hero, everything from the gang is here. Are you satisfied?”

Zhao Heihu applied medicine to his injured arm, barely stopping the bleeding. He sent Ning Wuxie off with a fawning and fearful expression.

Ning Wuxie placed Xuan’er into the carriage and turned around.

“There is indeed one more thing.” His tone was flat, as if he was merely making another ordinary request.

Zhao Heihu slightly bent his body, listening carefully, thinking Ning Wuxie still needed money or food.

“You are alive, I am not satisfied.”

Zhao Heihu seemed to not react in time. As his eyes widened and his brows furrowed, Ning Wuxie’s knife swiftly cut across his neck.

Ning Wuxie slightly leaned to the side, perfectly avoiding the blood that sprayed out.

Zhao Heihu’s subordinates stood not far away, shocked to see their leader killed by Ning Wuxie with a single knife, yet none dared to move!

Afterward, Ning Wuxie acted as if nothing had happened, wiped the knife on Zhao Heihu’s clothes, and turned to sit in the carriage.

The sound of the whip cracked, and the carriage slowly moved, leaving the slum and heading toward the imperial capital.

“Brother, are you tired?”

Xuan’er poked her little head out, asking Ning Wuxie, who was driving the carriage in front.

“Not tired, Xuan’er, sit tight.” Ning Wuxie pressed Xuan’er’s little head back into the carriage.

“Brother, is it cold outside? Should I wear more?”

“Brother, do you want water?”

“Brother, I want to sit outside with you.”

All the way, Xuan’er’s heart was attached to Ning Wuxie, as if feeling uncomfortable when she could not see him.

Even at night, in her dreams, the image of the blood-soaked street in the slum filled her mind.

Yet she did not feel scared, because she knew she was in Ning Wuxie’s embrace and understood that these people were killed by her innocent brother for her sake.

Brother Wuxie was truly wonderful…

Ning Wuxie was completely unaware of her thoughts, only feeling that this little girl had become even more clingy.

However, being clingy was fine; after all, she was the future Empress!

Driving the carriage away from the small country of Kunwu, Ning Wuxie rushed toward the Dayu Dynasty, one of the five great dynasties of the Spirit Martial Continent.

He had already envisioned the destination. Since he did not want to follow the predetermined path like in his previous life and enter the Zhenyuan Sect, the best choice nearby was only one.

That was the sacred land of loose cultivators on the continent—Hermit Valley!

There, he could cultivate freely without restrictions and excavate the early potential of the Chaotic Defeat Body.

Moreover, he could even meet an old friend from five years later.

The future Human Emperor, Li Luobing!
