Skip this! Just tell me who to kill!

"ah!!!"

"Murder! Murder!"

"Run! Run now!"

In the shantytown, at the moment that well-dressed young man's head rolled to the ground.

Finally, the initial silence caused by shock was broken, and the crowd reacted, screaming like pigs being slaughtered as they fled in a frenzy.

The woman who was surrounded was stunned, her legs losing all strength to run away.

Her mouth dropped open as she stared at Qin Muyuan, who had killed the richly dressed young man and was now slowly approaching her. An indescribable fear filled her heart.

Sensing the murderous aura emanating from Qin Muyuan, and the thick stench of blood, as if he were a demon rising from a pool of blood, the woman's legs went weak.

He collapsed to the ground.

At that moment, she had only one thought in her mind:

"Just out of the tiger's den, into the wolf's lair!"

However, the blood-soaked youth did not raise his sword to kill her as well.

Instead, he slowly walked up to her and said:

"Hello beautiful, do you have any unfulfilled wishes or desires?"

Upon hearing this, the woman felt an even greater sorrow—as expected, they were going to kill her!

Qin Muyuan frowned as he looked at the woman, whose heart was ashen.

"Why can't these NPCs be like Xiao Chang, giving you whatever quest you ask for?"

He had already spoken so tactfully, asking the woman what her wish was, and offering to help her fulfill it.

As a result, the woman still looked terrified and disoriented.

Really, all I have is a stronger smell of blood on me and I've killed a few more people. Is that so scary?

Qin Muyuan was speechless, and then kicked Wangcai.

"Go away! Look at you, you scared someone!"

"Awooo?!"

Wangcai let out a whimper, and its wolf eyes were suddenly filled with grievance.

Scary?

Am I the one who's scary?

The wolf demon Wangcai howled a few times, but dared not say anything. He could only look aggrieved and keep his distance.

Otherwise... Qin Muyuan would blame it for scaring people again...

It was Qin Muyuan himself who was truly frightening...

After kicking Wangcai, Qin Muyuan's mood improved somewhat. He squatted down, looked at the woman slumped on the ground, and said:

"Don't worry, I'm a good person, I won't do anything to you."

"A...good person?"

The woman caught a glimpse of Qin Muyuan's bone nail, still dripping blood, and her body trembled, almost bursting into tears.

"Great...Great hero! Please, please spare me! I...I still need to find my husband, I can't die!"

"Husband?" Qin Muyuan caught a key word:

"Your husband has gone missing? Tell me about you and your husband, maybe I can help you."

With Qin Muyuan's comforting words, the woman tremblingly recounted her husband's story.

At that moment, a task panel popped up in front of Qin Muyuan.

[A woman named Chen Shuang issues you a mission in a panic.]

[Mission: To introduce Chen Shuang to her husband, Liang Cijiu]

According to Chen Shuang's account, her husband, Liang Cijiu, went to Huoyun City to do business after raising the necessary funds. During this time, the two maintained correspondence. However, one day, Liang Cijiu suddenly disappeared without a trace, and all contact was lost. Rumors circulated that Liang Cijiu had become involved with a young lady from a prominent family, but Chen Shuang firmly believed that Liang Cijiu would not abandon her and insisted on coming to Huoyun City herself, solely to find her husband.

[Task Rewards: Experience +1000, Shop Points +8000, White Skill - Remove Your Equipment]

The task panel appeared, and Qin Muyuan glanced at it briefly, only to find that it was an extremely clichéd ancient story.

It's like the story of a talented scholar who has a wife in the countryside, then goes to the city to take the imperial examination, passes it, abandons his wife and children, and gets together with a rich young lady.

In modern terms, that would be stories like "I'm growing up, what about you?" or "The first sword strike after landing is to slay the one you love."

but.

This woman named Chen Shuang insisted that she and her husband had an excellent relationship and that her husband, Liang Cijiu, would never abandon her.

Therefore, Chen Shuang traveled a long way from her small county to Huoyun City, just to find her husband Liang Cijiu.

"If I really find Cijiu and discover that he has someone else in his life... then I will sever all ties with him as husband and wife."

After being questioned by Qin Muyuan, Chen Shuang forgot her fear and spoke resolutely:

"But if I don't go looking for them, what if... something bad has happened to Ci Jiu and they need me?"

"I can't find peace of mind without knowing how to say goodbye to the past!"

Qin Muyuan understood upon hearing this.

This Chen Shuang is a hopeless romantic.

Well, in ancient terms, she would be described as a "fierce woman".

"I accept your mission!"

Qin Muyuan stood up and said.

The mission reward isn't great, but it's all within Fire Cloud City anyway, so it's on the way.

It's fine to take on this task.

The main thing is.

Qin Muyuan is a warrior of pure love!

He reads NTR doujinshi.

However, he only reads NTR doujinshi.

Isn't this also a kind of warrior of pure love?!

As a warrior of pure love, Qin Muyuan naturally took on the mission without hesitation when he encountered such a heartless person, determined to get an explanation for Chen Shuang's love-struck mind.

With this in mind, Qin Muyuan stood up and called out to Wangcai, who looked aggrieved.

"Wangcai, carry her on your back."

"Awoo."

Although Wangcai looked aggrieved, he still decisively picked up Chen Shuang and carried her on his back.

"what!"

Chen Shuang was filled with fear after being thrown onto the wolf's back.

But when she saw Qin Muyuan leading her out of the shantytown and towards the gates of Fire Cloud City, she still mustered up her courage and asked:

"This... esteemed hero, where are you taking me?"

"Go into the city, find your sweetheart, and demand an explanation from him."

Go into the city?

A bitter look flashed across Chen Shuang's face as she said:

"I am a commoner, I have no travel permit, and I have no money to bribe the soldiers guarding the city, how can I possibly enter the city..."

Because she couldn't enter the city, Chen Shuang temporarily lived in the shantytown, earning some money by doing laundry and cooking for others.

Then, by saving money through frugality, she hoped that one day she could raise enough silver to bribe the city guards and let her enter Fire Cloud City to find her husband.

"Don't worry."

Qin Muyuan's calm voice rang out.

Then, Qin Muyuan led Wangcai past the queue to enter the city and headed straight for the city gate.

As they walked, Qin Muyuan said:

"I never need a travel permit or money to enter the city."

No travel permits or money required?

Chen Shuang was puzzled.

Could it be that this great hero in front of me comes from a high-ranking official family?

With just his face, he could be recognized by all the soldiers guarding the city, and then they would let him pass.

Just as Chen Shuang was wondering, Qin Muyuan arrived at the city gate and used his "entry into the city without a permit or money" method.

scoff!

A sword rang out.

Several jets of blood shot into the sky, and several heads fell to the ground.

Under the gaze of Chen Shuang and countless stunned civilians, Qin Muyuan beheaded the city guards and walked straight into the gates of Huoyun City.

"You need a travel permit and money to enter the city? Where did this rural custom come from? I can go wherever I want."

"Awoo!"

Wangcai let out a wolf howl of approval, carrying Chen Shuang on its back, and followed Qin Muyuan's pace.
