Grabbed his arm?
Ou Ye's expression changed drastically; he hadn't lacked body odor, but had sprayed perfume on his skin.
The clothes were of poor quality because he bought them cheaply, and they ripped with a single grab.
Ou Ye finally understood, "Your hand smells of my perfume."
As long as he was given time, he could easily take a bath and completely disappear. After all, as a stinky man, if he wanted to transform into a woman, he naturally had to smell fragrant.
This was a huge mistake.
He would never make such a fatal error again.
Zhou You looked at Ou Ye with cold eyes, not saying a word.
Ou Ye felt uncomfortable under his gaze, his expression awkward, "Please don't look at me like that. Actually, it's just a habitual deception. I'm actually a good person, really."
Zhou You extended his Right Hand.
Ou Ye chuckled dryly as he returned the token to Zhou You.
However, Zhou You did not withdraw his hand.
Ou Ye waved his Right Hand, and a large pile of items appeared, including the old dog's small knife.
"Not enough."
Zhou You said coldly.
Ou Ye was startled, "I only took this much from him."
Zhou You said coldly, "Let me correct you, that was deception."
Ou Ye awkwardly took out a mid-grade spirit stone, "This as compensation, should be enough, right? Traveling the world, more friends mean more paths..."
Zhou You sneered, "More swindlers, however, is not good."
Ou Ye hesitated, "You're not still thinking of killing me, are you?"
Zhou You said coldly, "I do have that thought, if you are confident you can escape. However, let me be clear, what just happened was merely a harmless, senseless act. But if you want to try, I will let you see my sword."
Sweat trickled down Ou Ye's face from between his hair, and his smile was very unnatural.
He was not a coward; otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to offend the Evil Cloud Pavilion, or even the Evil Forces.
Gradually, Ou Ye's expression darkened, "Brother, must you go to such extremes?"
Zhou You chuckled softly, "To be frank, you were the one who provoked me first. What? You think you're in the right now?"
Just as Ou Ye was about to speak, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine, sensing countless strands of hair leaving his head by his ear.
His topknot was severed, and his hair scattered across the ground.
Ou Ye's face twitched, and cold sweat broke out.
Such fast swordsmanship!
Was this a threat?
Well, yes, this was a threat.
Zhou You gripped the hilt of his sword with his Right Hand, "Do you want to see my great treasure sword?"
The sword body seemed to move slightly, about to leave its scabbard.
A chilling sword qi, overflowing in that instant, seemed as if it would directly tear a person's soul to shreds.
"No!"
Ou Ye fell to his knees with a thud, wailing, "Brother, great hero, please have mercy on me! I have an eighty-year-old mother above and infants waiting to be fed below..."
Zhou You said coldly, "Is there nothing new to say? Such statements truly make one feel you lack substance."
"Yes, yes, there really is."
Ou Ye crawled forward on his knees, "I also have eight profligate old women in between, that's different from others, right?"
"Eight?"
Zhou You raised an eyebrow. He didn't even have one, yet he had eight?
Even if it was a lie, it still made him quite displeased.
Ou Ye grew anxious, "I've also sponsored impoverished people in mountain villages; I truly am a good person. And, I never kill people, really, believe me just this once."
"You've never killed anyone?"
Zhou You tilted his head.
Ou Ye pointed to the sky with his Right Hand, "Heaven and earth bear witness, I am merely a swindler who swindles swindlers; deception is my specialty, that is art, and art cannot be tainted by blood, at least my art cannot be tainted by blood."
Seeing Zhou You remain silent, Ou Ye urgently said, "I tricked that old man because he's a thief! What good things do thieves have? My tricking him was simply eliminating harm for the people! Have you seen that old dog's hands? His index, middle, and ring fingers on both hands are level. Generally, a skilled thief will only have their middle and index fingers level, which makes it easier to steal things from people, as level fingers allow for smoother movement."
"But this old dog, he has three fingers level. This indicates that this guy is a ruthless person, very hard on himself. Therefore, I believe he certainly didn't have good intentions being by your side. And that effeminate..."
As he spoke, Zhou Chen and two others arrived from the city.
Xiao Jing was carrying the old dog, who was incredibly weak, his lips pale, his eyes listless.
This blow truly took half of the old dog's life.
From a distance, Zhou Chen excitedly waved, "Second Master."
Xiao Jing also showed joy in his eyes, "Old dog, we caught the person."
The old dog struggled to open his eyes, emitting sounds of 'ah, ah' from his mouth.
Upon reaching the spot, Xiao Jing placed the old dog on the ground. The old dog crawled forward, tears streaming down his face, reaching out to touch the items. "Treasures, my little treasures, I will never lose you again..."
He cried and laughed, kissing the bundles and his small knife.
Zhou Chen was surprised, "Second Master, is this elder the swindler?"
Ou Ye quickly clarified, "I'm not a swindler; actually, I'm just a good person who knows a bit of deception."
Zhou You glanced at the token in his hand, "You've troubled me so many times. Death can be avoided, but living punishment is hard to escape."
Ou Ye was overjoyed, "I understand, I understand. I will take you to find the Blood Crystal Mine and the person you are looking for."
Zhou You snorted, only thinking of something Ou Ye had said earlier.
To go to that place, not only did one need a token, but also the 'password' of the day.
Such a strict arrangement meant that any exposure would inevitably lead to a very bad outcome.
Ou Ye stood up, "Young Master, I truly am of great use."
"You stay kneeling first."
Zhou You said calmly, "Let's have a good talk."
"Alright."
Ou Ye obediently knelt down again, looking up at Zhou You with eager eyes.
Zhou You asked, "Did you suddenly decide to trick me because you saw I had a token? So, you were planning to go to the Blood Crystal Mine yourself?"
Ou Ye nodded repeatedly, "Ah, yes, yes, yes, because this token belongs to the Evil Forces, which are above the Evil Cloud Pavilion. Recently, there was a flood in a certain place, and I really had no money. But Blood Crystal Mine is very valuable, and I coincidentally obtained information about it, so I thought of making a fortune, then exchanging it for money at an underground bank and going to help."
Zhou You frowned, "Are you serious?"
"Heaven and earth bear witness."
Ou Ye urgently said, "I truly am a good person, and look at me, I have a storage ring! If I wanted to live well, even if I just sold the storage ring, I could spend the rest of my life lying on a mountain of gold."
As he spoke, he took out a letter and handed it to Zhou You, "If you don't believe me, read it yourself."
Zhou You skeptically took the letter, then glanced at Xiao Jing, "Watch him closely. If he dares to stand up, chop off his legs directly."
Xiao Jing nodded heavily, drew his short sword, and squatted down, pressing it against Ou Ye's leg.
