Chapter 324: Chapter 324: Many People Settling Accounts

By the time Gu Fan, Lin Xi, and Su Hui rushed out, they saw a man flying across in front of them. Judging by his wails, he must’ve been in some serious pain.

As Su Hui moved, she fired a flare, signalling for Zhuo Hang and the others to provide support—all of them should join in the fight against the monster.

Seeing Su Hui’s heroic strides in front, Lin Xi, who used to be Queen Qianye in a past life, refused to fall behind and joined Su Hui side by side.

Gu Fan fell behind, feeling somewhat inferior to these two women. He started to wonder if in this world, women were growing stronger, while men were growing weaker, and that’s why it was so hard for men to find wives.

Just as Gu Fan was ready to join the battle, Du Jun charged out from the side, grabbed him by the collar, and accused, "It was you, Gu Fan! You were the one who hit me earlier!"

"Bro, you’ve got the wrong guy. And even if it was me, you have no proof." Gu Fan rebutted with a look of total denial, which irritated Du Jun greatly. He picked a fight with Gu Fan, regardless of their surrounding circumstances.

Qin Jia quickly tried to stop the fight, "Enough guys, let’s keep our priorities straight."

At this moment, Lin Xi twisted off the head of another snow monster, and Su Hui defeated one too. The extraordinary performances of these two women boosted the team’s morale.

However, when Lin Xi and Su Hui turned around and witnessed their own fellow adventurers wrestling with each other in such dire circumstances, they couldn’t hide their frustration. Leading this team was difficult; there were just too many internal conflicts.

Soon, Zhuo Hang arrived with everyone to regroup with Su Hui. Knowing that Lin Xi had placed an enchantment, they felt assured about using firearms, and their fear of triggering an avalanche was greatly reduced.

However, Su Hui recommended using as few bullets as possible; stun guns would be good enough.

"Roger that!" Zhuo Hang, Ning Qi, and Old Man Tian all switched to stun guns. Despite the snowstorm’s interference, they still shot accurately and could still hit the snow monsters as long as they were relatively close.

Lu Yi sighed at the sight of snow monsters everywhere, "Lin Xi, what on earth did you do to anger the heavens and the snow monsters alike?"

"Lu Yi, have you ever experienced levitation?" With Lin Xi’s question, Lu Yi felt puzzled, then responded, "No, why?"

"You’re about to find out." After saying this, Lin Xi snapped her fingers and Lu Yi was thrown into the air, leaving behind only a scream.

Upon seeing the consequences of bothering Lin Xi, everyone instinctively shut up. Su Hui, who had observed the scene, couldn’t help but marvel at the disparity between Gu Fan and Lu Yi: no matter how much Gu Fan irritated Lin Xi, she never resorted to using her supernatural power against him.

At this point, Gu Fan and Du Jun had just finished their fight. Gu Fan managed to stand up laboriously, appearing clearly unwilling to continue the argument.

Having spent all his energy, Du Jun didn’t want to fight either. Just as he tried to stand up, he suddenly saw a figure lunging at him, which scared him as he believed he was being attacked. He was then tackled.

Just when Du Jun was in a panic, the other person shouted, "You! You tricked me! You didn’t pay in full! You cheater, you’ve hurt my feelings, you’ve ruined my trust in clients, you’ve made it hard for me to blindly trust people anymore, you must take responsibility, refund me, REFUND!"

"Oh my gosh, who the hell is this?" Du Jun struggled to pull off the other person’s face mask and goggles. Upon witnessing the genuine face under the disguise, he quickly placed the coverings back and uttered, "Sorry, bro, you got the wrong guy."

"Du Jun, there’s no way you’re slipping away today. If you don’t refund me, I’ll skin you alive." Ouyang Jin firmly clung onto Du Jun and encouraged Gu Fan, "Don’t forget your promise, Gu Fan. You agreed to help me collect the debt."

"Don’t worry, I’m on it." After saying this, Gu Fan joined Ouyang Jin in pressing Du Jun down. A two-against-one fight was too good an opportunity to pass up.

"You two bastards." Du Jun felt outraged, but he was powerless to fight back.

After Lin Xi repelled two snow monsters, the situation started to stabilize. The snow monsters, sensing the tide was turning against them, began to withdraw. Lin Xi glanced over her shoulder, her brows slightly furrowed, then she asked Jie on the side, "How did Ouyang Jin get here? Did you guys purposely bring him from the outer realm to settle the score with Du Jun?"

At this, Jie shook his head, "We simply bumped into him in a village, what a coincidence, right?"

At this time, Su Hui, Zhuo Hang, Old Man Tian, and Ning Qi were using their stun guns victoriously to shoot at wherever they went. The team just had to light the way for them.

The snow monsters were no longer a match for them, and the crisis was over. That’s why Ouyang Jin and Gu Fan dare to mess with Du Jun. They saw the tide of the battle turning, so they let their guards down.

Eventually, all the snow monsters retreated. Du Jun had to mortgage all his valuables to Ouyang Jin just to get him off his back. Du Jun felt like he had been robbed; he was inconsolable.

Luo Jingrong and Du Changhui furrowed their eyebrows when they saw Gu Fan and his team approaching. They wondered how they should interact with Gu Fan from that point since they had not treated him well before.

However, Lin Xi spoke up: "Don’t worry about it. Right now, our main priority is to take stock of our casualties. Judging by the damage just now, I fear that our journey will be delayed."

Hearing about the delay, Ouyang Jin jumped upon the chance to settle the expected cost, "What do you mean? Are you guys planning to join Du Jun and his team? If the journey is delayed, remember to pay for the additional days, five hundred per day, as we agreed before."

At this, Gu Fan pointed to the robbed-clean Du Jun, then retorted, "Firstly, it’s not decided whether we’ll join Du Jun or not. Secondly, if we do join them, the delay would be Du Jun’s fault, so ask him for the additional fees."

"OK, no problem." Ouyang Jin seemed pleased with the proposal, but Du Jun was obviously unhappy, "What do you mean? You want to suck me dry of money! You’re all too much!"

Gu Fan, Jie, Xu Haowen, and Ouyang Jin all stared at Du Jun, their eyes filled with contempt and a hint of threat. Under the pressure, Du Jun had to shrink his neck and nod, "Alright, alright, you’re right. The cost of the delay, which we caused, will be covered by me."

At this moment, Lu Yi came falling from the sky, landing in a very embarrassing pose, "Can anyone tell me what just happened?"

An idea struck Du Jun, "Hold on, if the journey is delayed because of Lu Yi’s doomsaying, who’s going to cover the additional cost?"
