My Enemy Became My Cultivation Companion-Chapter 945 - 548: Human Flesh as Debt Repayment (Double - )
"Brother He, I am the heretic."
Upon hearing this, those who were about to step forward and salute froze simultaneously, glancing at each other, the hearty laughter of the Jianghu men suddenly deflated.
With a flying sword beside him, He Taixiong initially thought it was a joke, but seeing Chen Yi's calm face, he was surprised and asked, "Daoist Long, what... what's this about?"
"I am now working for the White Lotus Sect, it's just that simple," Chen Yi said slowly, "I am truly not a Jianghu hero, at that time I also hid my true identity from Brother He, ashamed, ashamed."
Rather than being exposed later on or recognized by someone, plotting in the shadows, possibly laying the groundwork for murder, it is better to be open, revealing some truth first, whether to associate or not, now that it's said, it's better than concealment.
He Taixiong's expression suddenly became serious, hesitated for a moment, then straightforwardly said, "I don't know if Daoist Long is bewitched or has a hold over the White Lotus Sect, but I don't care about anything else, I only remember Daoist Long's kindness, and whoever dares to lay a hand on you, is going against me, He."
Speaking candidly, He Taixiong's companions looked a bit hesitant, one of the swordsmen said, "Brother He."
"Brother Dong Peng, speak no idle words, if you were here, I would act the same way."
Chen Yi said, "With Brother He's word, I can make friends with ease."
Only then did the two exchange bows, finally meeting formally. Yin Weiyin watched from the side, yawning, her goal being immortality, she never cared much about Chen Yi's Jianghu matters, even when Chen Yi occasionally spoke of them, she only responded casually.
But when flirting is involved, it's a different story.
Thinking of this, Yin Weiyin glared fiercely at the spirit-like Donggong Ruoshu.
Donggong Ruoshu shrank back, inexplicably feeling a chill on his back, not like the cold of a ghostly wind.
Over there, Chen Yi exchanged pleasantries with He Taixiong, only then did He Taixiong learn that since parting earlier, he traveled southward towards Wuchang Prefecture, but arrived a step too late, after the governor was assassinated, the roads throughout Wuchang Prefecture were early on sealed and heavily inspected by Su Hongtao, and He Taixiong couldn't find a way into the city no matter how hard he tried.
By the time he finally entered the city, Su Hongtao was dead, Kou Jun had been arrested for interrogation, Han Xiu as Deputy with Xique Pavilion in support, although He Taixiong had arrived, there was nothing for him to do.
So, Han Xiu deemed He Taixiong unnecessary, suggested he go to Dragon and Tiger Mountain to assist in annihilating the White Lotus Sect, and He Taixiong had such intentions as well. Coincidentally, he arrived at the Hero Conference, entered the Demon Refining Abyss, and by chance met Chen Yi.
At this time, someone on the street glanced over, hurriedly lowered their head, and walked into the alley.
...…..
In the world, there are some who love to eat fish eyes.
Whether pickled, fried, or steamed.
This is a high-rise building nestled deep within the marketplace and built against the mountain, carved window panes creak open, a plate of fish eyes is placed on the table.
Raw.
As the eyeballs dip into the soy sauce dish, the pupils suddenly contract, and upon reaching the lips with a gentle bite, they burst with flavor. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
The lone connoisseur person reclines on an Arhat Couch, his left hand lightly shakes the Black Jade Bone Fan, while his right hand stabs at a trembling eyeball with the tip of White Jade Chopsticks, savoring it with great enjoyment.
He is known as Lü Leren, and this marketplace has been under his management for countless years.
The Demon Refining Abyss is even more barren than the Underworld, it doesn't even have much tree bark to be seen, demons within are refined over long periods mostly surviving by devouring gold and eating soil, while a few Great Demons… can enjoy the delicacies flowing from this marketplace.
Hence, demons inside the Demon Refining Abyss tirelessly seek throughout their lifetimes to find this marketplace.
Unfortunately, the vast majority return empty-handed, with only a few stragglers handled promptly.
Footsteps echo at the staircase, someone comes up to report:
"Manager Lü."
Being interrupted during his meal, Lü Leren speaks with reproach, "Didn't I tell you not to come up unless there's something important?"
"I understand, it's just..." The reporting servant says word by word, "People have arrived."
People?
Lü Leren's eyes suddenly flash with a gleam of light.
Indeed, the majority of demons in the Demon Refining Abyss tirelessly search for a lifetime for this marketplace, but if it were humans, they could find it in no time.
The reason is simple,
For demons love eating humans most.
It has been a long time since he's eaten a human.....
"Invite them up and entertain them."
.....
"Daoist Long, have you seen the problem here?"
"Calling it seeing the problem is perhaps too much, but I have some thoughts," Chen Yi slowly said.
He Taixiong's companions looked surprised, casting inquisitive glances at Chen Yi, who just smiled faintly and said:
"No rush, no rush, someone is coming..."
Upon hearing this, as if following the sound, they saw a servant figure running towards them from a distance.
"Honored guests, honored guests,"
The servant ran over hurriedly, everyone glanced at him in confusion, then heard him say:
"My shopkeeper sees you have affinity and has specially prepared a banquet to entertain you."
Everyone glanced at each other, amazed, doubting the existence of such miraculous fortune, coupled with the peculiarity of the marketplace, each displayed a wary look, none daring to speak first.
Chen Yi instead laughed first, "Where is your shopkeeper?"
"Just ahead at Yunyun Building, let me guide you, it's not far," the servant nodded and bowed, showing extreme eagerness and flattery.
Chen Yi made a gesture of starting to move, "Alright, lead me over."
"Hey!" Dong Peng, who had just issued a warning, spoke up, "We won't go; who knows if there's a trap inside?"
