Chapter 534: Chapter 98_3

In a very subtle year, just as the Dragon King Liu and Dragon King Qin families had their legacies interrupted due to unforeseen events, she clawed her way out from dark corners, beginning to heal herself with these venomous methods.

At the end of the day, with no Dragon Kings in the river, all sorts of filthy and vile things gradually crawled ashore.

Her true form, back in the day, must have been suppressed by a Dragon King from either the Qin Liu or Dragon King Liu families; now, feeling empowered, she dared to approach Alii, offering curses under the guise of light.

Especially after he issued a grand warning, the next day, other dirty evil spirits all retreated far away, yet she dared to stand at the forefront, swaggering by the threshold.

It really matched her style of doing despicable things in the dark while gleefully trying to lead the pack.

Li Zhiyuan choosing her as his first self-selected challenge after officially beginning his River Crossing wasn’t a rash decision; truly fearsome and powerful corpses probably wouldn’t deign to cling to a bereaved girl when her family was in decline.

These mobs rushing to her were just like what Liu Yumei described as "bullies that are scared of tough opponents."

And this one was indeed the most brainless among those who couldn’t show their faces in public.

Wasn’t she just the right pick for him?

Lin Shuyou’s makeup was done, and at this moment, his original naivete was no longer visible, as a confident and spirited self-assurance exuded from his eyes.

"During the Divination, the officials only slay evil spirits without ferrying them across; both of you, especially you, stay away from me. I’m afraid the child still remembers how you deceived Him last time and holds a grudge."

Tan Wenbin was about to speak but was stopped by Li Zhiyuan.

The young man smiled slightly, very calmly saying, "Okay."

Lin Shuyou: "I respect your status, but you’ll only truly be of help after you come of age and begin River Crossing."

The youth: "That’s right, you are correct."

This guy’s personality had an even bigger contrast than last time; perhaps, after reapplying the makeup, he remembered the humiliation he faced before.

But although he knew he was an heir of the Dragon King family, he was unaware that he had already begun his River Crossing.

This was his first ordeal after officially beginning his River Crossing; Granny Yu, no matter how foolish or uncured from her injuries, was a corpse that had to be suppressed by the Dragon King himself back in the day.

Go on then, do your best; he’d only be too happy if you, as the official, could directly solve this problem for him.

Never mind the fact that you haven’t started the Divination yet, even if the White Crane Child possessed you, when He gets beaten and cries out, He’d still have to seek cooperation and assistance from him.

Li Zhiyuan didn’t want to waste words with him; he knew Lin Shuyou had three stages: Lin Shuyou, him after makeup, and the White Crane Child.

This "him after makeup," though cocky, lacked strength as he had not begun Divination yet, and was at a phase of being all talk and no action.

There was no point in having a conversation with such a person.

"Squeak..."

The door of the distant white tent was opened again; the old grandma from before looked as if she had removed her makeup and changed into regular clothes, resembling a hunched old woman rather than Granny Yu’s look from her facial and bodily structures.

The old grandma walked out, emitting a faint sound like that of cicadas, and soon, the young woman who was performing "in love with a python" during the day stepped out of the neighboring tent.

The young woman supported the old grandma, and the two headed towards the largest tent at the end of the area, which likely stored the group’s materials and equipment.

Li Zhiyuan said gravely, "The opportunity has come, take action!"

Lin Shuyou tore off the talisman attached to him and took out a half-arm long trident from his backpack; then, with a twist of his neck and mumbling some words, his whole demeanor changed.

"The way of evil spirits, slay without ferrying across~"

As soon as the words fell, his eyes transformed into vertical pupils, and the White Crane Child possessed him.

The White Crane Child looked down at Li Zhiyuan.

Li Zhiyuan locked gazes with Him.

Perhaps because there was a genuinely formidable evil spirit present, the White Crane Child did not reckon with the previous deception and instead performed the Three-step Praise--two feints and one solid, alternating form like creating afterimages--rushing directly towards the location of the old grandma and young woman.

Tan Wenbin exclaimed in surprise, "It’s not there, it’s..."

"Brother Binbin, same thing, let’s go!"

Li Zhiyuan ran towards the white tent, with Tan Wenbin closely following.

According to the original plan, all three of them should charge at the white tent together; however, Li Zhiyuan had a contingency prepared in advance.

Since the White Crane Child would naturally seek out the most powerful evil spirit on the scene, then let Him go; whether it’s launching an offensive or mounting a defense, He could still serve the purpose of holding the opponent back.

A tool, as long as it could be of use, was sufficient.

Reaching the front of the white tent, Li Zhiyuan lifted the blanket curtain and entered, confronting the mud figure of Granny Yu on the water vat.

In an instant, the mud figure began to tremble.

"Do you recognize me?"

The trembling of the mud figure intensified, seemingly pleading for help.

"Binbin, smash her vat!"

"Coming up!"

Tan Wenbin dropped the Luo Sheng Umbrella, grabbing the Yellow River Shovel with both hands and smashing it down with all his might towards the vat.

"Umbrella..."

Li Zhiyuan hadn’t expected Binbin to drop the umbrella, but it was too late to warn him, so he shifted slightly behind Binbin.

"Bang!"

The water vat was smashed open, and some of the murky water inside inevitably splattered out, some landing on Tan Wenbin.

Tan Wenbin was overcome with inexplicable sadness, as if he had countless children all at once, and they were all abducted away from him.

My heart, so painful, so bitter, so distressing.

Tears flowed uncontrollably.

"Brother Xiao Yuan... why am I... so sad... sob sob..."

"Stand guard at the door."

Despite the water vat being smashed, the mud figure stood tall on stilts, still maintaining its upright posture without wobbling.
