Help Me Remove My Armor

Not only was Fang Yuqi wearing armor, but she was also wearing heavy armor. Her entire body was like a tin can, making Lu Chen unable to feel any ripples. He felt rather unhappy.

"What are you muttering about?" Fang Yuqi turned around. The hot air between her lips made Lu Chen's heart itch.

"Nothing. I see you picked up Daoist Wu's black clock?"

"Mm." Fang Yuqi did not waste any time. She threw the black bell to Lu Chen and explained, "This is Daoist Wu's Soulless Bell. Without this bell, his Soulless Technique will be greatly reduced."

The Soulless Bell was extremely small, only slightly bigger than a thumb. There were a total of nine Dao Glyphs in the mouth of the bell, indicating that this was already the top-notch Dharma artifact among the Qi Refinement Realm.

Lu Chen avoided Fang Yuqi's gaze and formed a hand seal, chanting in his heart: "Circular Light!" Then, he waved his hand and drew a dark gray aura from the bell. It was Daoist Wu's aura. He injected the aura into the mirror on his left hand.

The silver needle on it began to spin.

"Turn left!"

"Neighhh~"

Without hesitation, Fang Yuqi turned her horse around and galloped to the left, followed by the soldiers.

"Turn right!"

"Giddyup!"

"Whoa." Soon, the two of them rode to a courtyard. The black horse had not stopped when Fang Yuqi held her long sword and jumped into the courtyard with Lu Chen following closely behind.

Thud!

The two of them landed on the ground and rushed towards the room.

Bang!

Fang Yuqi kicked open the door and saw a person kneeling on the ground with his head lowered and his back facing the door. He did not move at all. She quietly stepped forward and gently poked him with the scabbard. With a plop, that person fell to the ground.

All five of his limbs were broken, and he looked miserable. He had died in the same way as Daoist Wu.

"Substitute?"

"That's right!" Fang Yuqi nodded and explained, "He should have died under the Life and Death Substitute Technique. Daoist Wu probably used his identity to enter the town." With that said, she turned to look at Lu Chen and asked, "Where is he?"

"We're a step late." The two of them walked out of the room. Lu Chen pointed at the city wall not far away and explained, "This place is too close to the city wall. Daoist Wu has already left Fengxian Town."

"Are you sure?"

"Mm, are we still going after him?"

"I'm not chasing anymore. Although I didn't manage to kill Daoist Wu, it's still worth it to ruin a paper effigy. Besides… I've killed a wave of minions. I'm tired. Help me remove my armor." Fang Yuqi sighed. She sat on a stone block in the courtyard and opened her arms. Her handsome face was full of fatigue.

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment. He silently stepped forward, opened the hidden button, and placed the pieces of armor on the ground. When he took off Fang Yuqi's heavy armor, he found that she had already fallen asleep on the stone block.

She still maintained her sitting posture.

"This silly girl is really putting her life on the line." Lu Chen was slightly moved and also took off the armor he was wearing.

At this moment, a group of soldiers finally caught up and walked into the courtyard. They dragged out corpses from various rooms. There were five people in the family, three generations of the family.

None of them were spared. Even a baby who had just turned one month old was strangled to death by Daoist Wu in his swaddling clothes. His face was bruised.

"This Daoist Wu really deserves to die." Cursing under his breath, Lu Chen instructed, "I'll leave this place to you guys. I'll bring the general back first." After saying that, he picked Fang Yuqi up by the waist and quickly walked out of the courtyard without waiting for the guard to speak, leaving the guard looking at each other with gritted teeth.

You, that's our general.

"Giddyup!" Lu Chen mounted his horse and rode the black horse forward slowly. His arms were full of soft jade, and the faint fragrance of a girl lingered at the tip of his nose. He could not help but be tempted as he muttered to himself, "Should I carry her back to the Town Guards Mansion, or should I carry her straight back to the Changchun Temple…"

His thoughts were wandering.

After a series of struggles, Lu Chen still did not dare to carry her back to the Changchun Temple. After all, he could not defeat her yet.

Tap, tap, tap~

The sturdy black horse stepped on the street and silently moved forward. Not long after, he finally saw the Town Guards Mansion.

In front of the residence, there were guards in armor. An old man in plain clothes sat on an armchair and looked at the streets on both sides from time to time. Hearing the sound of horse hooves, he immediately perked up.

"Whoa." Holding Fang Yuqi in his arms, Lu Chen pulled the reins and asked in surprise, "Old man, who are you? Why are you sitting at the entrance?"

The old man slowly stood up and sized Lu Chen up. With a dark expression, he said, "You're carrying my daughter and you're asking me who I am?"

Lu Chen was speechless. He immediately understood that this person was the town master of the Fengxian Town, Fang Hong, the controller of the entire Fengxian Town, Fang Yuqi's father, and his future old…

Ahem~

"The old man doesn't seem to have a good temper…" Lu Chen muttered in his heart and explained with an awkward expression, "Um… Yuqi is tired. She's not hurt."

Fang Hong's expression softened a little. He pulled the chair out of the way. Seeing that Lu Chen was about to get off the horse, he shouted angrily, "Don't get off the horse. Be gentle and send my daughter back to her room."

"Yes, yes." Lu Chen smiled awkwardly and rode his black horse into the Town Guards Mansion.

"This kid…" Fang Hong's long hair was white. He looked at Lu Chen's back with his hands behind his back and muttered in his heart. His daughter had always been strong. Not everyone could touch her. In the past, no matter how tired she was, she would force herself to return home.

How could it be like today, being held in someone's arms…

"Ahem." Thinking of this, Fang Hong coughed dryly and instructed, "Kid, don't be in a hurry to leave later. Drink two cups with me."

"Okay, okay…"

…

Fang Yuqi's boudoir was different from an ordinary woman's boudoir. It did not have many decorations, but there were swords hanging on the walls. Some were long, some were short, some were good, and some were broken.

There was also a hand-carved wooden sword. It was obvious that it was used when she was young.

"Not even a maid." Muttering under his breath, Lu Chen gently placed Fang Yuqi on the couch. He turned around and saw Fang Hong following him outside the room, staring at him like he was guarding against a thief.

This little old man…

Lu Chen was speechless. He ignored him and helped Fang Yuqi untie the red rope that tied her hair up. Instantly, her black hair spread out, making the usually heroic Fang Yuqi look more gentle and feminine.

There was no need for rouge on her red lips. Her rosy face had no need of powder. Her skin was like the silver moon, her eyes were like almonds, and her eyebrows were curved.

"How beautiful…"

"Ahem, ahem!"

At this moment, a cough sounded outside the door.

This little old man was quite interesting…

Lu Chen retracted his gaze as if nothing had happened. He gently covered the bed with the blanket and walked out of the boudoir.

On this day, the old man and the young man had a plate of peanuts and had been drinking for the entire afternoon. They drank until their faces were red and their necks were thick, but there was no winner. In the end, the little old man hugged the wine jar and wailed.

He scolded Lu Chen for snatching his little darling.

He complained about the pain and suffering he had been through his entire life.

"Fengxian Town… Fengpo City… Great Vast Dynasty… Toad Island… Great Vast Navy… Golden Crow Angels… Armageddon… Calamity… Demons and ghosts, wars, clans exterminated, sons lost in old age…"

It was heartbreaking. It was all grievances suffered.

Hearing this, Lu Chen sighed with emotion. This little old man… was not easy!

At the same time, it also broadened Lu Chen's horizons and allowed him to learn a lot of insider information. For example, the father and daughter were the only ones left in the Fang Family. For example, in order to send Fang Yuqi to Fengpo City, she learned the White Tiger Body Refining Technique from White Cloud Monastery.

He had almost emptied the Fengxian Town and spent a total of 3,000 spiritual sand.

For example, because someone coveted Fang Yuqi, she had no choice but to leave the White Cloud Monastery and cultivate at home.

…

In the evening, the little old man was completely drunk. Lu Chen staggered out of the garrison. He was about to return to the Changchun Temple when he suddenly remembered that Jiang Hong'e had gone to Fengpo City today.

He turned and entered the Red Chamber Garden.

"Oh my, Master, you're here to play~"
