Chaotic World of Martial Arts: I Have a Spirit Pearl of Desire

That night, the two worked until the wee hours.

This surprised Shen Yun, who lived next door.

Does this work too?

This is just too incredible!

It's hard to imagine that a man could be this capable!

"No wonder Xu Qiuxue likes Chen You so much; his skills are truly impressive."

Shen Yun sighed.

Thinking of this, she secretly vowed that she would find a man as capable as Chen You in the future!

The next morning, Shen Yun went out to look for work.

According to her, martial arts practitioners like her generally have three ways to find work.

First, a friend's introduction.

Secondly, some people who become disciples at martial arts schools will specifically ask the school for help.

The last channel is for people who don't have a martial arts school or lineage, have a simple life, and have no friends.

Those are some teahouses.

The tasks posted in the teahouse are not only numerous, but also reasonably priced.

Shen Yun used to make money this way.

Hearing Shen Yun leave, Chen You also prepared to get up.

"I'll go cook for you," Xu Qiuxue said, getting up.

But the slightest movement caused her to furrow her brow due to the pain in her legs.

I had a great time last night, but I didn't expect the aftereffects to be so severe.

I will never do anything reckless again.

"Qiuxue, you should get some rest today."

Chen You said somewhat awkwardly.

"It's okay, it'll be fine in a bit."

As she spoke, Xu Qiuxue struggled to get up.

After getting dressed, Chen You planned to scout out the Fang family mansion today.

"Research for information about me in the vicinity."

[Information 1: Last night, Luo Haiping personally led a team in a night raid on the Fang family's territory in Sanhewan Town, inflicting heavy losses on the Fang family! This morning, the Fang family of Qingshi Town dispatched more than thirty skilled men to reinforce Sanhewan Town.]

[Information 2: The Fang family is secretly trafficking women, targeting those who practice martial arts! They deliberately post fake tasks in teahouses to lure women out.]

[Information 3: After Fang Zheng's death, the Fang family selected Fang Zheng's younger brother, Fang Changkun, as the eldest son of the Fang family and showered him with resources.]

Fang Changkun's martial arts talent was average, so in order to perform well and gain the family's attention, he came up with the idea of ​​posting fake missions at teahouses to lure women out! He received a reward from the family.

"How can the Fang family members all be such scoundrels!"

Chen You frowned, then suddenly remembered that Shen Yun was on her way to the teahouse to receive a mission.

"Last night, she mentioned going to Deyun Teahouse!!"

Thinking of this, he quickly went out: "Qiuxue, I'm going out for a bit."

"Oh, aren't you going to eat breakfast?"

"I'll just grab something to eat on the way."

With that, Chen You walked out.

…………

…………

…………

Deyun Teahouse.

This teahouse is very famous among martial artists because it receives a large number of missions every day.

As soon as Shen Yun entered the teahouse, it was already packed with people, with shouts and the sounds of drinking tea filling the air, creating a lively atmosphere.

"Have you heard? A lot of women have gone missing in town lately!"

"How could I not have heard? A friend of mine's concubine went to buy groceries and, damn it, disappeared!"

"I suspect there's a conspiracy involved!!"

"Nonsense, I really don't know who did it. Now my husband is too scared to go out."

"It's best to be careful."

Hearing these words, Shen Yun frowned slightly.

At this moment, on the wall at the very front of the teahouse, rows of wooden plaques were hanging in neat rows!

All the tasks listed above have been up for several days. Anyone who wants to take on a task can simply reach out and remove the sign.

However, these popular tasks are less difficult, and therefore less expensive.

Shen Yun ordered a steaming hot breakfast. After eating and drinking her fill and feeling refreshed, she strode into the teahouse.

"Old Li!" Shen Yun greeted the little old man behind the counter.

Old Li, behind the counter, looked up and chuckled, "Oh, isn't this Lady Shen Yun! Long time no see! I thought you'd found a good family to marry and have kids!"

Shen Yun crossed her arms and snorted coldly, "Tch, relying on a man is no better than relying on yourself! Enough nonsense, what high-paying jobs are up for grabs lately? I'm itching for a good one, if you're going to take one, take the toughest one. Plenty of money, I'll tread through mountains of knives and seas of fire for you!!"

Old Li was amused by her domineering demeanor and burst into laughter: "Haha, good talk! Perfect timing, I just landed a few big deals!"

As he spoke, Old Li pulled out a thick ledger from under the counter and handed it over: "Here, take a look yourself."

Shen Yun took the ledger and flipped through it; the tasks recorded on it were all sorts of things.

The first task is to ambush a notorious bandit in a mountain. The reward for bringing back his head is fifty taels of silver!

Although there is a lot of money and the person is not very strong, the mountain area is very large, and it will probably be difficult to find him.

Moreover, if there were bandits on the mountain, their numbers would be numerous, making a fight to the death extremely dangerous.

The second job was to be a temporary bodyguard for a cunning and wealthy businessman in the city. The pay was decent, but there was a lot of trouble involved, and he had to take orders from his sugar daddy all the time, which was extremely torturous.

Shen Yun didn't even glance at either of the two tasks.

The third task was to deliver a letter to an official in Cangzhou City in a neighboring province, with a reward of one hundred taels of silver!

Moreover, the roads are all official roads, which are very safe and have a very low risk factor. The only drawback is that it takes a long time to travel and the round trip can take a month or two.

Shen Yun's eyes lit up instantly; this task looked promising.

For delivering messages, she could easily travel alone, as she did so at a fast pace.

Thinking of this, Shen Yun slapped her hand on the tent flap and exclaimed happily, "This is it!"

"Alright, this gentleman lives at No. 34 Sifang Street. You may go there."

"Thank you very much." Shen Yun took out one tael of silver as a referral fee.

Soon, Shen Yun arrived at No. 34 Sifang Street.

This is a fairly large residence, but the main gate is currently closed.

Shen Yun stepped forward and knocked on the door. The door creaked open a crack, and she immediately became wary, staring at the doorway cautiously.

Fortunately, a middle-aged woman came out to open the door.

She is quite beautiful, with an air of elegance and nobility.

Seeing that it was a woman who opened the door, Shen Yun relaxed a lot and got straight to the point: "I came here from Deyun Teahouse to pick up a letter after receiving a mission."

"Oh, I see. Come in." The woman nodded lightly and turned to walk into the courtyard.

Shen Yun stepped inside and cautiously looked around.

Seeing that the woman seemed to be the only person in the house, he asked, "What kind of letter is it?"

"This is my husband's. He just went out temporarily." The woman said, handing over a heavy package. "Take a look for yourself. There are letters and some personal belongings inside. The delivery address is written on the letter."

Seeing this, Shen Yun was completely relieved and smiled as she took the package: "Okay, let me take a look... Hmm?"

The moment she touched the package, a thick pink mist suddenly shot out from the gaps in the package, heading straight for her face!

"Oh no! It's poisonous!"

Shen Yun was terrified and cried out, trying to hold her breath. But the pink mist was extremely potent and instantly invaded her body through her skin and breath.

The woman curled her lips into a cold smile, nimbly took a few steps back, and clapped her hands: "Alright, you can come out now."

As soon as she finished speaking, the door behind her was suddenly pushed open, and three burly men with bare chests and fleshy bodies stepped out, staring at Shen Yun with lewd eyes.

"Damn it, this is a trap!!"

Shen Yun gritted her teeth, her vision blurred, her legs went weak, and she knelt on the ground with a thud. She felt completely powerless, as if her blood and energy had been completely blocked.
