Chapter 11

Chapter 11: I’m a Fine Fish, I Don’t Want Money, I Don’t Want to Hurt Anyone, What’s Wrong With Me Liking Beautiful Things?

Sang Nian decided to try and salvage this completely reversed plot.

She quickly recounted what had happened, emphasizing that she was the innocent victim who had been kidnapped.

Wen Buyu and the others looked at each other.

“And who is this?” They pointed at Xie Chenzhou, who was leaning against a tree and hadn’t spoken a word.

Sang Nian was about to introduce him, but she somehow got stuck, she stammered:

“He’s… my friend, he was also kidnapped by this demon.”

Xie Chenzhou’s eyebrows raised slightly, but he didn’t refute.

After they heard her words, there was a moment of silence.

Sang Nian felt a chill run down her spine.

The book said that the protagonist group was disgusted by the original owner when they first met her, they even regretted saving her.

Would they believe her?

Just as she thought this, she suddenly felt a gaze fixed on her, she looked up and saw Chu Yao staring at her intently, her eyes narrowed.

Sang Nian swallowed, “Why are you looking at me?”

Under her nervous gaze, Chu Yao slowly spoke:

“Such a composed aura.”

Sang Nian: “?”

“Such a graceful figure!” Su Xueyin clapped her hands excitedly.

Sang Nian: “.”

“Such a strong physique.” Wen Buyu sighed with regret.

Sang Nian: “…”

Suddenly a little embarrassed.

The atmosphere instantly improved, Wen Buyu seemed to have discovered something, he made a sound of surprise, he smiled shyly at the man in pink:

“We meet again, brother.”

Hearing his voice, the man in pink barely opened his eyes.

When he saw Wen Buyu’s face, he rolled his eyes and fainted.

Sang Nian was curious, “You know each other?”

Wen Buyu said, “I met this brother before, thanks to him for showing us the way, but I don’t know why, he suddenly went crazy and attacked me.”

Su Xueyin continued, “Senior Brother just exchanged a few moves with him and he ran away, he said his mother called him home for dinner, he was in a hurry.”

No wonder the child’s nose was bruised and swollen, it turned out he had already been beaten.

Sang Nian sighed.

“So what now?” Chu Yao said, “I don’t want to carry him, why don’t we just kill him.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the man in pink on the ground “squeaked” and woke up, he said with a sheepish smile:

“Actually, I can walk by myself.”

Chu Yao’s eyebrows furrowed, she immediately drew her sword to chop him:

“You lecher! You dare kidnap a good girl and her good friend, a good man, I’ll chop you up!”

As soon as she raised her sword, Su Xueyin, who was beside her, skillfully hugged her leg, she said repeatedly:

“Sister, calm down!”

“Wait! I have two more things to say!” The man in pink shouted.

Chu Yao sneered, “You piece of trash, you dare talk to us? Go to hell.”

Wen Buyu rubbed his forehead, “Junior Sister, I told you how many times, be polite.”

Chu Yao: “Okay.”

She stepped on the man in pink’s face, “What do you want, you idiot?”

“First, I’m not an idiot.”

“Second, I haven’t harmed anyone!”

The man in pink cried out loud:

“I was originally an innocent octopus prince from the East Sea, because I longed for the land since I was a child, last month I refused to marry an octopus, I secretly came ashore from the sea to find true love, and I’m a very loyal demon, I only like them two, I didn’t want to grab anyone else.

“Ultimately, I just like beautiful things.”

As he spoke, the octopus prince suddenly became confident:

“I’m a fine fish, I don’t want money, I don’t want to hurt anyone, what’s wrong with me liking beautiful things?”

“You don’t like beautiful things?” He asked Chu Yao.

“You don’t like beautiful things?” He asked Wen Buyu.

“You don’t like beautiful things?” He asked Su Xueyin again.

“You don’t…”

“Okay, we don’t need to ask the two of us.” Sang Nian wiped her sweat nervously, she interrupted him.

This question was deafening.

Everyone was silent for a moment.

Only Wen Buyu, after thinking carefully, nodded secretly, as if he had made up his mind.

He helped the octopus prince up, he kindly removed the weeds from his hair, then he took out a gleaming axe from his sleeve.

Under the other party’s terrified gaze, he raised his axe, smiled gently, his tone was still polite and shy:

“What you said makes some sense, but to prevent you from getting lustful again and causing trouble, I’d better cut off your root today.”

“Don’t worry, it won’t hurt much, my axe is very sharp.”

The octopus demon: “…”

Without any hesitation, he turned and ran, two long lines of hot tears fell in the wind, his scream almost tore his throat:

“I won’t do it again! I really won’t do it again! I’ll go back to the sea tomorrow, no, I’ll go back today!! The land is too scary, I’ll never come ashore again in my life!!!!”

Sang Nian in the back: ………

This protagonist group’s style seems a little different from what was described in the book.

According to the book, the female lead Su Xueyin is as cold as a fairy, the male lead Wen Buyu is sickly and elegant, and the second female lead Chu Yao is quiet and introverted.

But now…

She looked at Wen Buyu, who was chasing after the octopus demon with his muscular arms.

Well, sickly and elegant.

She looked at Chu Yao, who was full of censored words and would explode at the slightest provocation.

Well, quiet and introverted.

Finally, she looked at Su Xueyin, who was hugging Chu Yao’s leg and skillfully using her bare hands to block blades.

Well, cold as a fairy.

Sang Nian felt complicated.

How do you describe this character design?

They’re all messed up.

From another perspective, how is this not a reflection of their team spirit?

“Niannian!”

Suddenly, a familiar voice reached her ears.

The wind changed, a dark cloud flew rapidly across the sky, looking closely, it was a large group of cultivators flying on swords.

On the ground, countless soldiers in armor also rushed over, the leader was City Lord Sang.

This scene was too grand, Wen Buyu was distracted for a moment, the octopus demon seized the opportunity, he quickly twisted his body and jumped into the stream, disappearing with the current.

City Lord Sang gave the accompanying personnel a look, and a group of people immediately chased after him.

He strode to Sang Nian, he put his hand on her shoulder and looked her up and down, seeing that she was in a sorry state but hadn’t been hurt, he couldn’t help but sigh in relief, his eyes were full of heartache:

“You’ve suffered.”

Sang Nian hid her scraped hand, she shook her head obediently, “Brother, I’m fine.”

City Lord Sang’s gaze moved to Xie Chenzhou, his face was as dark as water:

“Is this how you protect Niannian?”

Xie Chenzhou’s lips were pressed into a straight line, he remained silent.

This attitude angered City Lord Sang even more, he raised his hand, “You— ”

“Brother!”

Sang Nian hugged his arm tightly, “Look at these young heroes!”

She frantically changed the subject, she steered the conversation to Wen Buyu and the others:

“They happened to pass by and helped us drive away the demon, we have to thank them properly!”

With outsiders present, City Lord Sang finally suppressed his anger, his expression softened:

“Thank you, young heroes, for saving my little sister, if you don’t mind, please come to the mansion for a drink before you leave.”

Wen Buyu bowed, “Thank you, City Lord, for your kindness, but such a small matter is nothing to mention, we don’t need a drink, we still have to hurry…”

Before his last sound had completely faded, he was already being lifted onto a luxurious carriage.

Wen Buyu blinked, a hint of confusion flashed across his face.

Beside him, Chu Yao was sprawled out on the soft couch:

“Senior Brother, let’s just go back with them, I’ve been circling in the forest for three days and three nights, I really don’t have the energy to travel anymore.”

Su Xueyin patted her legs for her, she agreed repeatedly, “Sister is right, we should rest for a while.”

Wen Buyu couldn’t do anything about them, he had no choice but to compromise, he looked around and said curiously, “Where are Master Xie and Miss Sang? Aren’t they getting on?”

Outside the carriage.

Sang Nian pulled City Lord Sang aside.

“Brother, the reason I was able to escape safely this time is thanks to Xie Chenzhou, he’s different from what you imagine, he helped me a lot, I’m very grateful to him.” She said earnestly.

City Lord Sang didn’t care, “That’s what he’s supposed to do.”

Sang Nian said, “Anyway, you’re not allowed to make things difficult for him or give him the cold shoulder anymore?”

City Lord Sang noticed something was wrong, “What’s going on?”

Sang Nian was speechless.

What’s going on?

This Xie Chenzhou, he really has a brain!
