He grabbed her long, slender, pale neck with one hand, gently lifted her, and held her entire body up.
Though she was a stunning woman, in Fahai's eyes, she seemed to be nothing at all.
"Don't come near me, I hate dirty things."
Fahai spoke coldly, Killing Intent permeated the air, making Lin Xian'er tremble with fear.
She awoke as if from a dream, staring at Fahai in disbelief.
How could this be!
The impossible had actually happened!
How could there be a man capable of resisting her temptation!
Lin Xian'er's face was filled with shock, her expression dazed.
"Little Master, you're hurting me."
She was truly afraid.
For the first time in many years, she had met a man unmoved by her.
At this moment, her eyes were filled with tears, looking utterly pitiful, which would indeed stir compassion in others' hearts.
If it were anyone else, they might have already softened and let her go.
Unfortunately, she was facing Fahai.
Fahai's gaze shifted to Shi Feixuan, his meaning clear — should her life be spared?
Shi Feixuan fell into hesitation.
Lin Xian'er was malicious and had tried to kill her.
Logically, she should indeed be eliminated.
But she was, after all, an unarmed woman and had not committed any heinous crimes.
To take her life like this, Shi Feixuan felt unwilling.
Moreover, she was a peerless beauty.
Even as a woman, seeing her in such a state, it was hard not to feel a touch of pity.
Seeing this, Fahai released his hand and threw Lin Xian'er in front of Shi Feixuan.
His action had explained everything.
Lin Xian'er's life or death would be decided by Shi Feixuan.
"Fairy, save me, I don't want to die."
"I will keep this matter a secret."
Lin Xian'er had already realized the other party was a woman, so she didn't use her usual charm, only pleaded with a tear-streaked face.
She knelt on the ground, barely clothed, her expression wretched, making it unbearable to look directly at her.
Such a posture, even to a woman, would be difficult to remain unmoved by.
Let alone Shi Feixuan.
She was inherently soft-hearted.
As expected, she gently shook her head, as if no longer dwelling on Lin Xian'er's past attempt to kill her.
It seemed she intended to let her off.
Seeing this, Fahai sighed slightly, full of disappointment.
She wanted your life, and you still plan to let her go?
She is indeed a kind-hearted person!
In the original Shuanglong novel, Shi Feixuan was not as decisive as Wanwan, always overthinking things.
Far from Wanwan's uninhibited pursuit of justice, her courage to act.
Now seeing her make such a decision, Fahai's lips curved slightly downwards, with a hint of disdain.
Although Shi Feixuan decided to spare Lin Xian'er, he would not.
He knew what kind of person Lin Xian'er was — vicious, cunning, and deeply scheming!
Li Xunhuan merely wasn't enchanted by her, yet he incurred her Killing Intent and schemes.
She even framed him, almost costing Li Xunhuan his life.
Given the precedent of Li Xunhuan, how could Fahai be soft-hearted?
Li Xunhuan was only not tempted by her, but Fahai had severely humiliated her, even almost taking her life.
It would be strange if she didn't seek revenge!
Perhaps she would even seek out her former lovers to gang up against him.
Fahai wasn't afraid of her plotting revenge, but he also didn't want to create unnecessary trouble.
Leaving this person alive would lead to endless future problems!
Even if Shi Feixuan was willing to show leniency today, Fahai would not agree.
"If you can't bring yourself to do it, then I will send her on her way."
Fahai's tone was calm, his expression indifferent, but his eyes revealed a chilling Killing Intent.
Lin Xian'er, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, instantly turned pale and felt cold all over upon hearing these words.
She looked at Fahai in terror, swallowing with difficulty.
Her beautiful face was full of helplessness and pleading.
Her beauty and pitiful appearance could easily stir people's hearts and evoke compassion.
Anyone else would probably have wavered by now.
Unfortunately, in front of Fahai, this tactic was useless.
He showed no reaction, his eyes remained cold, and the Killing Intent around him had not dissipated.
Seeing Fahai's utter lack of mercy, Lin Xian'er cursed inwardly.
Detestable Monk!
At the brink of death, she no longer cared to hide her true colors.
Burning with rage, she gritted her teeth and roared, "You detestable Fahai, I will never forget you!"
"Even if I, Lin Xian'er, turn into a vengeful ghost, I will not let you go!"
Before her words finished, she had secretly activated the True Qi within her body, seized the opportunity, and suddenly turned to flee!
Lin Xian'er was also a master with extraordinary skills!
Although her strength was not as good as Fahai's and Shi Feixuan's, it was not difficult for her to escape.
The reason she had been in such a predicament earlier was because the incident happened so suddenly; she had expected Fahai to fall for her charm, but he remained unmoved.
Fahai's sudden attack caught her off guard, leading to her embarrassing state.
Now she chose to flee again.
But Fahai had already anticipated her actions.
Seeing her indeed escape, a cold smile flashed across his face.
"Want to escape? It's not that easy!"
Immediately, a three-zhang-tall golden Buddha appeared behind him, majestic and imposing like a mountain!
The Buddha seemed to descend from the heavens, shining with golden light, emitting an endless Aura that enveloped the world.
A giant golden palm tore through the air, descending with destructive power, striking down fiercely!
Lin Xian'er looked back and saw the palm shadow pressing down on her, immediately screaming, "No!"
She desperately circulated her Cultivation Technique, attempting to resist.
However, how could she be Fahai's opponent!
This golden Buddha, which had slain Yi Ku as easily as slaughtering a chicken, was certainly not something Lin Xian'er could resist.
She ultimately could not withstand it and was instantly killed by that palm, her beauty fading, her life ending in the Yellow Springs!
Shi Feixuan's expression changed, her brows furrowed, as she looked at Fahai, her eyes holding a hint of anger and questioning.
"Fahai, why did you have to take her life?"
"Her crime was not deserving of death."
Fahai snorted coldly, his face full of indifference, too lazy to say more to this woman who considered herself pure, he merely spoke lightly.
"Lin Xian'er is none other than the notorious Plum Blossom Bandit of the Jianghu."
"I am eliminating a scourge for the world."
"What?!"
Shi Feixuan was utterly shocked, unable to believe it.
"This is impossible!"
What she thought was that Lin Xian'er was merely a bit promiscuous, how could she be the monstrously evil Plum Blossom Bandit.
"Some things, even when seen with one's own eyes, are not necessarily the truth."
With that, Fahai turned and left, his demeanor free and easy, without a trace of lingering attachment.
Shi Feixuan watched Fahai's departing back, then lowered her gaze to Lin Xian'er's cold corpse, her expression complex.
She... was really the Plum Blossom Bandit?
Tonight, she had intended to strike a fatal blow against herself; this ruthlessness seemed to confirm certain facts.
Could it be that Fahai was telling the truth?
Had she been deceived?
She suddenly recalled their debate about good and evil, and her mind felt a moment of disarray.
She murmured to herself, as if asking herself.
"Was I really wrong?"
After dealing with Lin Xian'er's matter, Fahai and Shi Feixuan naturally returned to Drunken Immortal Inn.
Fahai walked in front, but turned back to see Shi Feixuan still following closely, and couldn't help but feel puzzled.
"You're still following me?"
This woman, she wasn't planning to stick to him, was she?
Shi Feixuan looked at Fahai and said firmly, "You said she was the Plum Blossom Bandit, so I naturally have to investigate until the truth comes out."
"What if it turns out she isn't?"
"If it turns out she isn't... what will you do?"
"Kill me, this Demon Monk?"
Fahai smiled slightly, taking over her words, his expression calm.
Shi Feixuan was silent for a long time before finally speaking: "Though your hands are stained with blood, you can remain unmoved in the face of beauty, so you can indeed be considered a gentleman."
"You have not committed evil, so I will not kill you."
As she spoke, she couldn't help but recall the various scenes she had witnessed in Lin Xian'er's courtyard.
That day, Lin Xian'er had tried every means to seduce Fahai, but Fahai's expression remained normal, completely unmoved.
Such temptation was something ordinary people simply couldn't resist.
Yet he ignored it, his expression composed, truly incomparable to ordinary people.
He could indeed be called a righteous gentleman.
Shi Feixuan thought this to herself, slowly nodding.
This Fahai was not a man who coveted female beauty, only that his Killing Intent was too strong.
But the people he killed all seemed to be heinous villains.
He did not indiscriminately kill innocents.
This made Shi Feixuan somewhat hesitant.
From this perspective, he shouldn't be a Demon Monk, should he?
