Scourge Messenger

Chapter 147 The Intent to Kill Arises (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
The pharmacist had booked a large suite with three beds for them, but it was clear that they wouldn't all be able to sleep there tonight, and someone would have to be kept on watch. There was also the possibility that the restaurant might try to sabotage them.

Choosing to stay in a restaurant was primarily to avoid attracting the attention of others.

The pharmacist sat by the window, watching the still bustling city of Changle outside. The nights naturally had their own fun, and Changle was not much different from other county towns.

She quietly pondered everything that had happened that day. Staying at the restaurant might offer a temporary respite from Zhong Ji's revenge, but it wouldn't last forever. Besides, she hadn't come here to admire the scenery of Chang Le City; she was going to Shu Dao Mountain to conquer the Fourth Transformation Secret Realm and inherit Si Wuxie's legacy... She didn't have much time to waste here.

We must act swiftly. If we drag this out and allow Zhong Ji to gather his forces for retaliation, the situation could become even more difficult.

We'll escort the bunny girl away tonight at midnight!

We should be able to escape the Shu Road Mountain area by the day after tomorrow, and then we'll be safe. Fortunately, Wu Qiu and Shi Dong have also become messengers, so they should be able to keep up with them.

Thinking of this, Yaoshi Yuan sighed inwardly. She longed for a peaceful life; with her strength, she could be treated with respect by any Grand Protector she chose, and then slowly plot to acquire Si Wuxie's inheritance. But since the Bunny Girl valued advancing her sword and saber manuals so much, even at the cost of opposing Zhong Ji, Yaoshi Yuan had no choice but to play along.

However, it's not necessarily all bad. Now that they've offended the Blood Lord, it will be easier for the Pharmacist to gain the trust of the other two Great Protectors in the future. Even the righteous path has its share of corruption, let alone the demonic path. For example, wasn't the shopkeeper Fu Nan just now representing Prajna in recruiting them?

"Sister Wuqiu, Sister Shidong, here you go," the bunny girl suddenly said.

She pulled out four items: two face shields and two flame-patterned longswords. The face shields were clearly previous spoils of war, and the flame-patterned longswords were familiar to Yao Shiyuan, as they were tokens that immortals frequently sold on the trading board.

"We can't accept them!" Wu Qiu quickly refused, and Shi Dong nodded repeatedly—she wasn't being polite, she was simply afraid of these weapons.

"Since you're messengers, how could you not have a token? Take it," said the bunny girl. "Next time you encounter danger, at least you can try to fight back. My brother said that women who fight back are more attractive."

Your brother is kind of disgusting... Everyone silently complained in their hearts.

"Take it," said the pharmacist. "I don't have any tokens to arm you yet. Having some combat ability will make your journey safer from now on."

Since Miss has said so, Wu Qiu Shi Dong accepted these tokens.

Although they were just ordinary tokens of exchange, they were also the first tokens they had ever received in their lives. Even with an uncertain future and a dangerous situation, the maids could not hide their joy.

Seeing this, the pharmacist had no more hesitation. Perhaps it wasn't just about escorting the bunny girl; she could also take the opportunity to send Wu Qiu and Shi Dong away. They now had the means to live in anonymity elsewhere…

But before the pharmacist could speak, the bunny girl said first:
"Let's go our separate ways tomorrow."

Everyone was taken aback, and Shi Dong immediately became anxious: "Why?"

"I'm going to storm Mount Shu tomorrow, and you'll be implicated if you follow me," the bunny girl said calmly. "Your original plan probably didn't include storming up there, did it?"

"What!?" Wu Qiu exclaimed in surprise.

"Charge up Mount Shu?" Yaoshi Yuan was incredulous. "Why would you do this? What deep-seated grudge do you have against Mount Shu?"

The bunny girl turned to look at the pharmacist: "Big sister, how narrow-minded are you to say that? Just because I have no grudge against Mount Shu, does that mean I can't fight for justice?"

"To be honest, even though I know they're bad guys, I'd be too embarrassed to start a fight if they didn't attack me first. I never expected to offend such a powerful force in the Shu Road Mountains today. They'll definitely send people to deal with me when I go up the mountain tomorrow, which will make killing them a breeze."

"My brother said, 'That's what you call having a legitimate reason to fight!'"

"What right do you have to do this?!" Pharmacist couldn't help but grab the bunny girl's shoulder. "I can escort you away from Mount Shu tomorrow. You can go anywhere else to uphold justice; there's no need to go to this dangerous, demonic place to die!"

"I won't die." "What makes you think you won't die? Even I'm not sure!"

"My brother said so."

"Your brother is talking nonsense!"

"In short, I'll be going to Shu Road Mountain tomorrow. As for where you all go, please feel free to do so." The bunny girl climbed onto the bed, sat cross-legged, and closed her eyes to rest. "I'll also be on alert all night tonight. Goodnight."

Seeing that the pharmacists seemed to want to say something more, Yan Qing simply turned off the game console and went to take a shower.

Is he confident?

Nonsense, of course I'm not sure.

The bunny girl is only level 20, while there are probably more than a handful of people at the third level of the Shu Road Mountain sect, including quite a few red-name messengers with Shura tokens. Even if Yan Qing thinks he can fight people above his level, there's still a significant risk of his account being deleted if he's surrounded by a large group of people.

As for why Yan Qing chose this path, it's simple: he never intended to cooperate with the demonic messenger from Shudao Mountain from the very beginning.

Thinking about it carefully, it's obvious that if entering the righteous path's third-level secret realm is this troublesome, how easy can the demonic path's third-level secret realm be? Shang Xinlei said that the demonic path's dangerous lands' third-level secret realms can be entered at will, meaning that 'a powerful third-level messenger can easily obtain the qualification to enter the demonic path's dangerous lands'.

This ease is in comparison to the righteous path. The righteous path may require several years of observation and the approval of someone. Although the demonic path can qualify if one has enough strength, the prerequisite is to join a certain force. For example, Shudao Mountain has three great protectors, and one must obviously join one of them to enter the secret realm.

In fact, Yan Qing doesn't mind if his alt account joins a faction, but there are three conditions: either the faction is much stronger than the alt account, or the faction is good to the alt account, or the faction can attract Yan Qing.

Seeking refuge with a powerful force is like going to work; you always have to get something in return, right?

However, in terms of strength, the strongest of the demonic forces is only at the third level of cultivation. If Yan Qing were to pull out the Bingzi Jiaolin, it wouldn't be impossible for him to fight them. As for his attitude towards lower-level characters, he has already been threatened by Zhong Ji and extorted by Fu Nan, so he is already on the verge of death. There's no way Yan Qing would like a group of red-named monsters who have killed ordinary people to the point of being red-named.

Even if Yan Qing were to side with these demonic forces, it would be only a matter of time before he overturned the table. So why not just overturn the table from the beginning? That would save him some frustration.

However, these are not the main reasons.

The most important reason was that Yan Qing was itching to test his own abilities.

With a sharp weapon in the body, the murderous heart starts from the beginning.

For example, when playing open-world games like The Elder Scrolls or Red Dead Redemption, you might occasionally want to raid an entire city for fun. Actually, Yan Qing didn't do it on purpose; he accidentally pressed the wrong button and punched someone, and then the whole city would gang up on him... This is quite similar to reality. I hadn't even done anything, and the other person's hatred had already reached a chorus, wanting to come after me?

Come on.

Since the other party has taken the initiative to provoke the war, Yan Qing is happy to fight to the end.

Will Bunny Girl die? Maybe.

Yan Qing fell asleep with anticipation for tomorrow, leaving three women unable to sleep due to conflicted emotions.

　It's said that today marks the fourth anniversary of the publication of the Sorcerer's Handbook, so here's a little extra update.
