I sell demon meat in the city

Chapter 73 Don’t judge people by their appearance

When Meng Wenpei hit the tree trunk and fell to the ground, she was extremely surprised.

How come this woman's punches are so sharp?
Because of her internal energy, she didn't suffer the same fate as the other two, but the impact of her back hitting the rough tree trunk almost made her vomit blood.

Meng Wenpei was furious.

She clenched her fists and slammed them into the ground. A rock larger than an adult's head immediately floated up in front of her and then hurtled towards Meng Shulan.

With a loud "bang," the stone was smashed to pieces by a punch as it approached Meng Shulan, scattering dust and pebbles everywhere.

"Come again!"

Meng Shulan's eyes lit up as she watched Meng Wenpei, who had just gotten up from the ground, with great interest.

Great, finally someone is using Qingge's training methods to fight her.

In the past, in a secret cave in Sanqing Mountain, Qingge used stones to attack her, which were much harder than the ones Meng Wenpei had just thrown.

Her fists weren't made of iron either; they were bloody and her bones were broken countless times. It was only thanks to Qingge giving her some kind of elixir that they healed. Otherwise, her hands would have been in an even more horrific state.

Qingge's attack methods were far more ferocious than Meng Wenpei's. The stones were pure stones from Sanqing Mountain that had been there for countless years. They were large, hard, and plentiful, and were not in the same league as the soil and rocks that Meng Wenpei was currently controlling.

With a series of "bang, bang, bang" sounds, stones shattered in front of Meng Shulan. Her eyes shone brightly, and she fought with increasing ferocity.

In contrast, Meng Wenpei's face was deathly pale, and cold sweat poured down her forehead.

"Again!" Meng Shulan said, turning her head to look around before pointing to a corner under the left wall and kindly reminding him, "There are stones there."

However, Meng Wenpei could no longer hold back and yelled at Meng Shulan, "Are you crazy?!"

She had exhausted her true energy, and could no longer control even a small clod of earth, let alone a large rock.

Panting, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, glared at Meng Shulan, and staggered away with a pale face.

Why did they leave so suddenly?

Meng Shulan stopped what she was doing, still wanting more.

Turning my head, I saw that the door of the house next door was tightly closed, but there were several people lying behind the door, nervously peering out through the crack in the door.

Because it wasn't far from her yard, Meng Shulan knew the lady of the house.

Seeing that she was the only one left at the door, the woman hurriedly opened it and nervously asked Meng Shulan, "Little sister, who was that person just now?"

"Oh, that was a lunatic. Don't be afraid, Sister Li, I've already chased him away."

Sister-in-law Li and her husband and son standing behind her both twitched their lips. They weren't deaf; they had just heard that woman call Meng Shulan a lunatic.

But who cares? Anyway, she only knows Meng Meizi. If Meng Meizi says she's crazy, then she's crazy. Otherwise, what normal person would jump onto someone else's wall for no reason?

"Hey girl, this morning I heard some outsiders in our town say there's a dragon on Sanqing Mountain, is that true?"

These days, there has been quite a commotion in both Qingshui Town and Sanqing Mountain. How could native locals like Sister Li not have heard about it?
However, unlike cultivators who seek opportunities, they don't care about dragons or anything like that. They only care about whether they can live a peaceful life and whether Sanqing Mountain will stop having a large number of monsters like it did ten years ago.

"Sister-in-law, don't overthink it," Meng Shulan comforted her. "Since your family wants to stay in Qingshui Town and doesn't plan to move, then live a carefree life. After all, there are troops stationed at the foot of the mountain. No matter what kind of dragon or something else comes out, they will deal with it immediately."

Li's family consists of two elderly people, her husband injured his leg while working on a construction site, and her son is only in junior high school. With such a family situation, it's impossible for her to leave her hometown and live elsewhere. However, she's quite resourceful; she grows vegetables to sell to the military garrison in Sanqingshan, and also goes to other villages to collect and sell chicken and duck eggs, so her family manages to make ends meet.

When Meng Shulan thought of eggs, the image of the little white dragon popped into her mind.

That little dragon is so big, it can't just drink milk all the time. How about we boil some eggs and send them over to it?

"Sister-in-law, give me a hundred eggs, no, two hundred."

After being comforted by Meng Shulan, Sister-in-law Li instantly felt better.

I heard that Captain Zhang in the garrison is very capable. With him here, why should we ordinary people bother with all that?

Just live your own life well.

Meng Shulan bought eggs from Sister Li's house and was walking out when she stopped in front of the door, looking at the pebbles and clods of dirt on the ground.

"I'll take care of it, girl, you go ahead and get busy."

Sister Li came out carrying a large broom, then looked at Meng Shulan with some concern, "Sister, are those people easy to deal with? Do you want me to go to the police station to call someone for you?"

"No, it can be solved."

Meng Shulan took the eggs and drove away. Li's wife stood at her doorstep, muttering to herself, "You really can't judge a book by its cover."

At this point, there were not many people left in the town. Although most people had left Sanqing Mountain because of the Black Serpent Demon, only a few of those who went down the mountain returned to the town. Some went to the mountains near Sanqing Mountain and stood there unwillingly to observe what would happen next.

Some who valued their lives simply drove away.

So now less than a third remain, which is why when a group of people went to Meng Shulan's house to cause trouble, few people watched from the sidelines.

"Senior Brother Lin, your wife is no ordinary person. The friction between Xiao Yuehua and her doesn't count as violating the rules of our circle. So, isn't it excessive for you and your wife to sever someone's meridians?"

"That's right, Senior Brother Lin, you can't protect that woman anymore."

Before the two people in front could finish speaking, Lin Qingquan had already drawn the soft sword, which was only two-thirds of its original length, from his waist. The remaining third had been broken during the fight with the black snake.

But it doesn't matter, this situation doesn't affect his use.

The sword hummed, and because it had been stained with countless demon blood, an invisible, chilling killing intent could be felt spreading outwards with just a swing.

The group's expressions changed upon seeing the broken sword. Their hearts pounded, and they instinctively took two steps back.

"Senior Brother Lin, we're all from the same sect. Are you trying to completely sever ties with us?"

A burly man in his early thirties standing at the very front couldn't help but frown.

"Fellow disciples? Ha!" Lin Qingquan looked at them with disdain. "You came here to make things difficult for my wife, and you still have the nerve to call yourselves fellow disciples? When I was fighting the snake demon on the mountain, why didn't you say you were fellow disciples helping me?"

A bunch of grown men who don't do their proper work, but are quick to run away causing trouble for women. I'm making this clear today: if you insist on interfering in my feud with the Xiao family, don't blame me for being impolite.

No sooner had they finished speaking than the group saw the woman they were looking for fighting with Meng Wenpei in the distance.
Good afternoon!
