Chapter 768: Chapter 770: Overdraft of Destiny, Kidnapping People Away
In the inn, a woman with her hair coiled up threw a flirtatious look at Fan Hua, a gesture that made Wang Kui’s eyes twitch.
Wang Kui was the man arranged by the Mu Family matriarch to protect Fan Hua.
"Ahem, show some restraint. Don’t attract bees and butterflies on the road, be careful or you might stir up a hornet’s nest," Qin Muye cautioned Fan Hua with a word of advice.
Fan Hua appeared helpless; what did this have to do with him? He was just sitting here eating his meal.
"Perhaps we should just slash his face first?" pondered Wang Kui, thinking it might solve the problem once and for all. After all, it’s not like it can’t be healed. When they got back, they could just find a Spiritual Beast with Healing Spiritual Beast Technique and have it sorted.
"That won’t do, I think we need to address the root of the problem beneath the trousers," Qin Muye spoke of a thorough solution. With the Mu Family’s capabilities, finding a Spiritual Beast with Limb Regeneration level Healing Spiritual Beast Technique should not be too difficult.
Fan Hua felt a chill from head to toe; one solution seemed more ruthless than the other.
"Or maybe we should just hurry along? I have this feeling that if we continue this way, trouble will arise." Fan Hua let out a sigh. In these past days, he had encountered so many bizarre events, that it felt to him like his peach blossom luck had intensified.
"Mm, you’re right, but it’s not really a big deal. There’s not much road left anyway, just bear with it a little longer," Qin Muye spoke with a schadenfreude tone, agreeing with Fan Hua’s sentiment but only in words and not in action.
Wang Kui had no complaints about this. Although the incidents on the road were bizarre, they actually didn’t pose too much danger, so he found them exceedingly strange too.
After all, under normal circumstances, the other members of the Mu Family would have long since intercepted them.
Therefore, the only real explanation was that Qin Muye had resolved all the dangers along the way. It’s not like misfortune could just be transferred to someone else at will, hence only small mishaps befalling Fan Hua.
On this journey, Qin Muye seemed strange but was actually quite methodical, and even the two of them had picked up quite a few strokes of luck along the way. This sight had Wang Kui completely numb.
This is exactly what makes the Karma Dao and Luck Dao so terrifying: wherever you go, opportunity awaits.
If not for his status being rather inappropriate, he would have even thought about latching onto someone powerful for support.
He had initially suspected that Qin Muye’s identity was fabricated, but now he didn’t bother doubting it anymore. As for the benefits mentioned by Qin Muye, he suspected they extended beyond just the Mu Family. Given Qin Muye’s capabilities, he must be hiding his strength, which could prove that he had even bigger plans.
Otherwise, with his status and power, could it really be that he just came here for some measly reward?
Actually, Wang Kui had always been speculating whether this person was a Daluo Golden Immortal or just a Golden Immortal. His own strength was only that of a Profound Immortal, so he could only guess.
Daring to confirm it was out of the question. What if the other party dealt with him casually? Wouldn’t that lead to his death?
And more likely than not, it would be the kind where he died completely cluelessly.
’We’ve picked up quite a few opportunities on this journey. If we really manage to handle the Mu Family, then I’ll have enough resources for the evolution of my Mirror Immortal,’ Qin Muye thought to himself with some unease. He hadn’t expected that after stacking up so many buffs, his luck would turn out to be this good, even coming across so many valuable things.
Even if it wasn’t like they were handed directly to him, the coincidences were definitely there.
However, Qin Muye had a vague sense of disquiet. When a cup is full, it overflows. His luck had been too good, so there might be trouble... oh wait, that’s wrong, it would be Fan Hua who might run into trouble.
He had the Endless Abyss suppressing his fortunes, so he was in no trouble at all. On the other hand, Fan Hua should have been relying on being a kept man to obtain these opportunities, yet now he was getting them by hanging around Qin Muye, effectively changing the way his Main Character Aura operated.
This matter, well, it’s not a huge deal if put one way, but also not a small one if viewed another.
What you take, you have to give back. But from where? Of course, from the person being kept, not from Qin Muye surely, as their Main Character Auras aren’t from the same system.
And so, Qin Muye looked at Fan Hua with a pitying gaze, no wonder he kept running into these incidents these days.
Fan Hua felt goosebumps rise all over as Qin Muye stared at him; he suspected Qin Muye was plotting something against him.
"Don’t look at me like that, it’s giving me the creeps," said Fan Hua very frankly.
"We’ve picked up quite a few opportunities recently. Aren’t you feeling happy about it?" Qin Muye spoke with a smug smile.
"..."×2
It wasn’t just Fan Hua who felt happy about this; even Wang Kui harbored such thoughts.
But upon hearing Qin Muye’s tone, they both felt something was slightly amiss.
"Sticking by my side, your luck has indeed gotten a lot better, but there’s a word called ’overdraft’, you understand," Qin Muye teased him.
"Are you saying my future luck is going to be bad?" Fan Hua’s face changed, which was a bit of bad luck in itself.
"That’s not it, it’s just that the feedback went to places it shouldn’t have," Qin Muye didn’t spell it out.
But Fan Hua caught on in an instant, no wonder he ran into so many bizarre incidents lately, everywhere he went there were people casting amorous glances at him.
So that was the deal, his face suddenly looked as if he were in mourning.
"Then... can it be fixed? I won’t pick up after you next time," Fan Hua felt that if things continued like this, he might be overpowered.
It was all out in the open now; coercion wasn’t impossible.
"I know a bit of healing," Qin Muye hinted very tactfully that a rescue was still possible, but he could only save the kidney, not the person.
Meanwhile, Wang Kui looked puzzled, what kind of riddles were these two talking in? It seemed like a big deal.
"I think we should speed up, otherwise something might happen, don’t you agree?" Fan Hua felt he needed to take matters into his own hands, so he suggested moving faster.
Wang Kui naturally had no objections to this, but he looked to Qin Muye.
After all, it was Qin Muye who called the shots, and certain plans might be affected if they hurried, possibly leading to trouble.
"That’s fine... I guess, but I think this matter still needs to..." Before Qin Muye could finish his sentence, Wang Kui suddenly tensed up.
"Who’s there?!" Wang Kui’s hands turned into earth-covered stones as he shielded Fan Hua in a swoop.
A shadow flickered by, nimbly tapping on the stone and vaulting over it, then snatched Fan Hua away in one grab.
"Chase!" Qin Muye yelled, they couldn’t let Fan Hua be really kidnapped, otherwise, the other party’s Main Character Aura would kick in.
Wang Kui, of course, followed without hesitation, not needing any reminder from Qin Muye.
"The Mu Family’s people seem to have changed their strategy from killing to capturing. It looks like Madam Mu holds an advantage in the Mu Family?" Qin Muye murmured to himself as he watched the two disappear.
And because she holds an advantage, there’s the need to capture someone alive, to better hold the bargaining chips.
’But the one who snatched him just now seemed to be a woman, right...’
Qin Muye suspected it might have triggered Fan Hua’s novice Main Character Aura, implying there shouldn’t be any life-threatening danger, since the aura from the original publisher, though somewhat flawed, was really reliable.
So, without thinking, he knew that Wang Kui definitely wouldn’t catch up. Although Wang Kui belonged to the Refining Spirit Sect, most of the spiritual beasts he had refined were from the Earth Path, while the person who took Fan Hua was of the Wind Path, making them incomparable in terms of speed.
Thus, he would definitely return empty-handed.
"Hiss~ I have a feeling the Mu Family is in for it," Qin Muye couldn’t help but inhale a cold breath.
"Forget it, we’ll talk about it later. He’ll probably be back in a couple of days."
Qin Muye got up and went to the inn to ask the innkeeper for a top-quality room, deciding to stay here tonight. Wang Kui wasn’t likely to return this evening, the chase would take at least a full day or two.
Wang Kui wouldn’t lose them so quickly, as he was not far behind in strength, both being within the same tier, a seventh tier. The gap wasn’t as huge as that of the eighth tier and despite the disadvantage, he could hold out for a while.
"Sir, what just happened?" The innkeeper asked hesitantly, as the events that had unfolded in the blink of an eye were indeed frightening.
"Family disputes. What’s an innkeeper like you listening to noble family conflicts for? Hurry and prepare a top-quality room for me. It’s not like I’m not going to pay," Qin Muye strongly condemned the gossip-seeking behavior.
The innkeeper’s face soured; he wasn’t looking for gossip but didn’t want to invite trouble. For them, it wasn’t just the large noble families they couldn’t offend, even smaller noble families were too much to handle.
But considering Qin Muye’s strength and background, he had no choice but to properly arrange a top-quality room for him.
Evicting the customer was out of the question. Anyone who could walk with noble family members was definitely not simple. The innkeeper had no choice but to bite the bullet and accommodate.
"Right this way, sir, I’ll take you to the room," the innkeeper could only lead the guest to the room for now and think about how to deal with the situation later.
