93 Today’s Top Scorer
“I’ve heard that Miss Shaoxiang sang a wonderful song for Marquis Hong when he killed a group of demons alone. They say it’s only for the heroes of heroes. I wonder if Brother Cai can get first place and have Miss Shaoxiang play a song for you.”
“Hahaha… It’s only the first day, so I’m not worthy of this song.”
Cai Jiulou chatted and laughed with the crowd. Although he was humble, he would occasionally look in the direction of Overflowing Fragrance restaurant.
He and Miss Shaoxiang; the heaven’s pride and the beauty. How could this not be a good story?
“With Brother Cai’s battle record, even if it’s not today, it’ll be next month or so. Wouldn’t it be better to listen to it alone in bed?”
“Hahaha…”
Cai Jiulou was in high spirits as he walked over to the military official at the counter.
One of his lackeys discreetly gave the military official five hundred taels of silver and said, “I’ll have to trouble you to make some noise and let everyone know.”
The military official looked at the heavy five hundred tael banknote in his hand, then at the ambitious Cai Jiulou. “I think… It’s not good to be too flamboyant on the first day of killing demons.”
He couldn’t bear to do it. For the sake of the money, he’ll give him some advice. The louder he shouted later, the longer Cai Jiulou would be embarrassed when the demon Slayers list was out.
“You’re teaching Senior Brother Cai how to do things?!” The lackey frowned.
Even Cai Jiulou, who was a few steps away, had a look of displeasure on his face. However, it quickly turned into a kind expression.
The military official’s face also sank. It was difficult to persuade the damned ghost with good words. But they insisted on it and even gave five hundred taels, so he couldn’t blame himself.
“Cough cough…”
The military official cleared his throat and said with great energy, “Mang Mountain Saber Dojo, Cai Jiulou, 10 points!
Hiss~
“Is this the strength of the eight martial roll prodigies?”
“We only killed one with three to five people, and he got ten points by himself?”
“Don’t tell me Cai Jiulou bought it from one of his fellow disciples?”
Some people began to speculate maliciously and were extremely jealous.
“No, the points on the demon slayers list are very valuable. There are good armors, weapons, herbs, qi, and blood tonics… The things that could be exchanged are all rare and precious treasures. Even if it’s between fellow disciples, they would never trade this.”
“After all, everything we’re doing now is for the sake of the wave of demons.”
“No matter how much money you earn, it’s still a waste of your life to spend it.”
The crowd sighed. It was filled with all kinds of emotions.
Meanwhile, in the Overflowing Fragrance restaurant, a young girl in a plain robe carefully carried the wooden tray through nine layers of bright red bead curtains.
Along the way, the enchanting flames that bloomed from the demonic wax on both sides reflected the layers of precious gauze, making people’s hearts sway.
She slowly knelt in front of the zither by the window.
Shaoxiang used a gold and jade hairpin to tie up her long hair, like a black crown on her head. A red veil covered that faintly discernible peerless face, and her ten slender, white fingers were covered in bright red. She lazily leaned against the window, casually stroking the treasure in front of her.
She looked out of the window and her red lips parted slightly. “This Cai Jiulou has really put in a lot of effort.”
“Miss, you don’t like him?”
“He’s just putting on an act. His talent is also just barely acceptable. In the county city, he’s just a drop in the bucket… Anyway, the key is that he’s too ugly.”
“Then miss should like Reihom from the Thunderbolt Dojo and Qi Yangbing from the Changshan Dojo… and that Qin Huai.”
“It’s a pity that Cai Jiulou has a snow eagle. I’m afraid it’ll be difficult for him to be a match for Cai Jiulou on the demon slayer list.” Miss Shaoxiang’s willowy brows slightly furrowed, feeling a slight headache.
“In addition to his determination, I’m afraid he’ll be left in the dust.” The plain-robed young lady seemed to be secretly pleased, and immediately called for Miss Shaoxiang to lightly tap her forehead.
“If I marry him, you’ll also be a maidservant. You can’t run away.”
The plain-robed girl didn’t seem to think much of it. “If Cai Jiulou is really the person who changed the Li family’s fortune as the Daoist priest of the Emerald Cloud temple said, I don’t think I can’t accept it.”
“That won’t happen. An extraordinary person who can change the Li family’s destiny will definitely do things beyond our expectations. Cai Jiulou won’t do,” Miss Shaoxiang muttered to herself, disinterested. “The Thunderbolt Dojo seems to be doing good, and the qi and blood cut the saint’s heart. Could it be Reihom? These Taoists and Buddhas are a lot of strange things. What a headache.”
“The results are released.” Qing’er stuck her head out of the window excitedly.
Miss Shaoxiang lazily stretched her waist, exposing her astonishingly long and beautiful legs to the sunlight.
“Cai Jiu is the only one with an even number…”
Outside the window, there was an uproar. The street was in an uproar, and the sound of surprise rose and fell continuously.
Flap flap flap…
A messenger bird landed in front of the window.
“It’s Qin Huai!” Qing’er’s eyes were filled with surprise as she read the message. “Today’s top scorer is actually Qin Huai of the Changshan Dojo. He got seventeen points! It’s twice as much as what Cai Jiulou got!”
Shaoxiang’s originally calm gaze instantly rippled when she heard this sudden change. “Seventeen points…”
“This Qin Huai is so scary. Ever since he entered the Changshan Dojo, he’s been somewhat beyond common sense. He breaks through realms quickly and kills people without hesitation. And the most important part is that he accidentally saved the master of the Changshan Dojo.”
Qing’er ridiculed as a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes. “Furthermore, Cai Jiulou is relying on a snow eagle. What does Qin Huai rely on to search for those fiendish demons?”
Shaoxiang thought carefully about Qin Huai’s past. “It’s a little strange. Could it be him?” Her brows slightly furrowed.
In the past, she had always been thinking about the number one genius of Pingnan, Reihom. After all, Reihom’s power suppressed the entire city, and the rumbling thunder skill was compatible with his strong qi and blood.
