Hua Ling then said, ‘But you didn’t just put a curse on me to force me to cure your husband, did you? You want to trade me for this ox, don’t you?’
Huo Shi was so scared that she fell to her knees again. ‘To be honest, I was desperate and confused, and I was obsessed. Yes…this monster told me that to escape, it needs the strongest sword in the world to completely break through this…boundary. I heard that Doctor Hua acquired a fine ancient sword some time ago, and that he always carries it with him wherever he goes. Some people who are obsessed with good swords and can’t get their hands on them have evil intentions and come up with devious ideas… I also heard that those evil spirits and demons who went there to cause trouble were forced by the sword’s aura and didn’t dare to make a move. So I thought…it might be worth a try.’
Hua Ling said in surprise, ‘It’s true that a while ago, many people came to the door asking to borrow the sword to take a look or something. I just didn’t expect that the martial world is still a gossipy world, and the speed of information dissemination can be compared to the speed of launching satellites nowadays.’
Jiang Yu interrupted with a dark face, ‘It’s not that Chu’s done something good again, is it?’ After he returned with Hua Ling, his words and deeds had always been relatively low-key, and Hua Ling would never go around flaunting the sword. On second thought, who else could it be but the culprit?
Hua Ling shrugged: ‘It’s possible. After all, we went to the sword cemetery together, so maybe he’s jealous that you followed me instead of him?’
Jiang Yu: ‘…’ Why does this sound so strange?
Hua Ling once again helped He Shi to her feet: ‘I don’t blame you for this. But the villagers’ debts should be repaid.”
He Shi whispered: ’I know, each person must bear their own responsibility. I won’t run away. Then… I’ll go back first.’
Hua Ling nodded: ‘Okay, be careful.’
After He left, Hua Ling leisurely walked up to Fei: ‘Big Bull, now it’s your turn.’
Fei’s veins bulged and he breathed heavily: ‘I said the real me…uh, not the bull…’ The first half of the sentence still had a bit of domineering attitude, but on the way there, his face was kicked by Jiang Yu, whether on purpose or not, which made him remember his current situation and his momentum suddenly weakened by five points.
Hua Ling walked up to the giant cow, which was at least five metres high even if it was lying on its side, and waved at Jiang Yu, ‘Let’s go for a walk on this big cow.’
