Chapter 32 Life Money

"Ahem, everyone, let's chat together!" Gu Qingyuan coughed lightly a few times, waking up the group of monsters present.

For a moment, screams and sobs rang out together, making people feel headache. Some people even took advantage of the chaos to sneak out.

"Don't make any noise, don't move, I'll beat anyone who moves to death."

Gu Qingyuan was quite powerful, and as soon as he said this, everyone fell silent and motionless.

"Cough...cough cough."

Hu Yanran coughed a few times, was helped up by Hu Meir, and walked step by step to Gu Qingyuan.

"Thank you for saving my life, sir. I have no way to repay you..."

"I said, whoever makes a move will be beaten to death. Are you provoking me?" Hu Yanran was interrupted before she could finish her words.

After hearing this, Hu Yanran's expression changed again and again, and finally she lowered her head and stopped talking.

"Everyone, please listen to me." Gu Qingyuan clapped his hands to attract the attention of everyone present.

"I have a good deal here. I believe you all know what will happen if you fall into the hands of Lord Yinshan. Although I am not talented, I still have some tricks to save your lives from Lord Yinshan. Do you agree with this?"

Gu Qingyuan smiled kindly and called the golden light into his hands to increase his persuasiveness.

Sure enough, when they saw the golden light, all the monsters were convinced.

"Yes, yes, yes."

"I'm waiting for approval."

"This gentleman is right."

"Since you all agree, then it's easy. I saved you from Yinshan Jun, so your lives are undoubtedly in my hands. If you want to survive, please give me some money as a life-saving gift."

Gu Qingyuan smiled, revealing his white teeth: "Of course, it can also be called money to buy your life."

A group of demons trembled in fear.

"You, yes, you, let them line up, those who have money should pay, those who have things should pay, remember what you pay." Gu Qingyuan pointed at Hu Meir, then turned to face the group of monsters: "If there are any who try to cheat, I hope you can run faster than this golden light of mine!"

"As for you, come with me." Gu Qingyuan said to Hu Yanran as he passed by, and walked back. Hu Yanran followed behind him like a bullied wife.

Entering the backyard, there were several rooms. Gu Qingyuan randomly chose one and pushed the door open.

When I entered the door, I saw pink gauze curtains inside, with only a set of tables and chairs and a beautiful bed.

He sat down with his arms and legs spread out, and watched Hu Yanran coldly as she closed the door and knelt down on the ground shyly.

She didn't even kneel properly, but raised her front body and looked at Gu Qingyuan, which made her back look rounder than her front.

A pair of charming and affectionate eyes, with slightly messy hair, a few light coughs, and blood dripping from the corners of her mouth, she really makes me feel sorry for her.

"Okay, no need to be so hypocritical. Do you think I'm blind?"

Gu Qingyuan sneered in his heart. This Hu Yanran was not honest. Although she was injured, it was not as serious as Yinshanjun said. She just needed to recuperate for a few days, and it would not affect her strength.

Most of her magic power was still left, not only the golden hairpin, but also the gauze behind her was a treasure. She managed to withstand several tricks from Yinshan Jun without using any magic weapon, probably because he was planning a sneak attack.

Or maybe, to divert the blame? Seeing Gu Qingyuan's revelation, Hu Yanran was not embarrassed at all, but just stopped flirting and knelt down obediently.

"I was hesitant, but I never meant to disrespect you, my Lord."

Gu Qingyuan was not surprised to see Hu Yanran transforming so smoothly. As people age, they become more cunning. For a three hundred year old fox, there is nothing strange about it.

If there really is an alchemist who has practiced for hundreds or thousands of years but is still ignorant, there are only two possible explanations: one is that he is in disguise, and the other is that he has an innate lack of intelligence.

"In that case, tell the truth." Gu Qingyuan didn't know what to ask her to confess, so he just relied on bluffing.

"I was indeed injured, but not seriously. Lord Yinshan kept forcing me to do this in order to steal the secret skills of my fox clan. I held the banquet today to take advantage of the situation." Hu Yanran confessed honestly.

"Borrowing momentum, borrowing momentum from whose?"

"By borrowing the power of Qing Yao and the third demon king here, if he forces us to surrender to Teng Snake Demon King, Yinshan Jun will not end up well. But who would have thought that Yinshan Jun has changed his temperament. He is no longer as vicious as before, but rather a bit brutal and brainless." Hu Yanran said with some surprise.

I'm afraid that the anger has changed the tiger demon's temperament. Does this fox really not know about the three disasters and six tribulations, or is he pretending to be confused?
Thinking of this, Gu Qingyuan said, "Do you know the three disasters and six tribulations?"

Hu Yanran smiled bitterly: "Of course I know the big name of the Three Disasters and Six Tribulations, but I only know the name, not the details."

After she finished speaking, she sighed and said, "We wild demon cultivators are just dogs that you humans raise. If we have some strength, we may be taken as mounts or pets. If we are useless, we may be killed at will. Skinning and pulling out tendons are common. There is no inheritance to speak of, not to mention the various secrets of cultivation that are never passed on to others."

It seems that he really doesn't know. I was wondering why it felt so easy to kill a foundation-building cultivator. It turns out he is a fake.

Gu Qingyuan nodded and motioned to continue. He was not moved by Hu Yanran's words. The strong prey on the weak. If the situation were reversed, the human race's situation might not be better than the current situation of the demon race.

"During the banquet, I wanted to provoke you to take action, pretending to be weak and intending to launch a surprise attack, which is why I ended up like this." Hu Yanran fell to the ground after she finished speaking. "I saw you coming with an invitation and you were not among the guests. I thought... I thought you might have a crush on me and seduced me with your beauty."

"How can you be sure that I have this ability?" Gu Qingyuan was a little curious.

"I once personally visited Li Tong of Qingxi Mountain and heard him mention... Zhelong Temple."

Gu Qingyuan suddenly realized that he, the fox, had disguised himself as the tiger of Zhelong Temple. Although his thinking was wrong, the result was the same.

Hu Yanran explained a lot more and her mouth became dry and dry. Gu Qingyuan waved his hand and asked her to leave.

Hu Yanran is turning around...

"Wait," Gu Qingyuan said, "Remember, your life as a foundation-building cultivator is more precious than theirs." So the money to buy your life is more.

"I understand." Hu Yanran replied.

"If you can't satisfy me," Gu Qingyuan paused, "your lineage will be extinct!"

Seeing Hu Yanran tremble all over and walk out of the door woodenly, Gu Qingyuan slowly leaned back in his chair.

My behavior is becoming more and more like a demon! Gu Qingyuan sighed, and thought of Hu Yanran's words again.

What he said about showing weakness and admiring Ai was nothing more than seeing a shield and diverting the trouble away. Even if Yinshan Jun was not affected by the calamity, Hu Yanran had a way to divert the tiger monster's attention to herself.

In this regard, Gu Qingyuan is very confident in the fox spirit who has practiced Taoism for three hundred years.

If I were really a lustful person, and if I didn't have some strength, I would have become a puppet, a dry bone in a grave, at the mercy of others without knowing it.

Gu Qingyuan reviewed today's events again, thinking that the two pears revealed the whole story. He analyzed the various calculations and cause and effect entanglements, and finally learned the first lesson after practicing: no matter when or where, do not think of yourself as too smart, and do not judge others as stupid too quickly.
