Tilting his head in confusion, Justice said with a puzzled look, "We didn't say we were going to attack innocent passersby, did we? When I said 'carrying out justice,' didn't I mean going to find bad guys and beat them up?"

"Huh?" Chen Yuze suddenly felt like his brain was a little slow to process what was happening.

At the same time, Meixi and Yuanbao also showed strange expressions: "Young Master Chen/Brother Yuze, you don't actually think we would bully good people for no reason, do you?"

"It wasn't me, I didn't do it, don't talk nonsense!"

Although he said that, Chen Yuze still guiltily avoided the girls' gazes in the end.

But it must be said that the girls' idea is indeed quite good.

Go down the mountain to beat up those evil monsters, and then use them to rack up a lot of kindness points. That's perfectly fine!

Why didn't I think of that before?

"Fine, since you insist on going down the mountain, I'll go with you and keep an eye on you. Lest you go too far and kill someone on the spot."

190. Bole Mountain

The Ten Thousand Mountains, within the territory of Bole Mountain.

Chen Yuze, dressed in a black outfit, was leading Moxi, Zhengyi, and Yuanbao, who were also dressed in black, as they wandered back and forth along the mountain path. At first glance, they looked exactly like four street thugs.

Their reason for appearing within the territory of Bole Mountain is quite simple. In the words of justice, it is to uphold justice.

In order to effectively strike the target, Chen Yuze specifically consulted Master Que before setting off, asking him if there were any wicked monsters wreaking havoc in the Ten Thousand Mountains near Changqing Mountain.

Upon hearing that Chen Yuze was going down the mountain to rid the people of this scourge, Sparrow didn't stand on ceremony and immediately pointed out a black dog spirit that had been stealing crops in the territory of Bole Mountain for many years and would make a mess of the vegetable garden after eating them.

Although this black dog spirit has never actually done anything to harm anyone, his actions have already seriously affected...

I arrived at the life of the mountain people of Bole Mountain.

To stop the black dog demon from continuing to ruin the crops, and also to earn some points of kindness along the way, Chen Yuze naturally led the girls down the mountain without saying a word.

Incidentally, Lu Qianya did not come with her this time when she came down the mountain.

Firstly, the young women in the house, including You Rong and the sleeping girls, do need someone to take care of them.

Secondly, it also serves as a way to keep Chen Yuze at home, so that when a patient who really needs treatment comes to the door, there won't be a situation where no one is home.

"Speaking of which, Bole Mountain isn't far from Changqing Mountain, so why have I never heard anyone mention it before?"

Walking along the mountain path, Chen Yuze was looking at the scenery of Bole Mountain with great curiosity.

Unlike Changqingshan, which is almost entirely populated by retail investors, Boleshan is ruled by the Akhal-Teke horse clan.

Looking around, Chen Yuze could see a small village with more than ten households nestled in the mountains.

"Perhaps it's because the mountain people of Bole Mountain have always been law-abiding and not particularly strong, which is why they've never really stood out?" Yuanbao was the one who spoke.

Despite her seemingly idle demeanor, as the third leader of Lion Camel Ridge, Yuanbao had meticulously investigated the surrounding mountains for the safety of her and Yuze's love nest.

"I originally thought Changqing Mountain was already quite weak, so even if Bole Mountain is weak, it shouldn't be that much weak, right?" Walking at the front of the group, Chen Yuze looked at the smoke rising from the village chimneys and said:

"Moreover, Elder Que also said that Mount Bole is ruled by a Ferghana horse named Red Hare. Since it has the ability to rule over a region, its cultivation level should not be too bad."

"That Red Hare's cultivation level is probably between the early and mid-stages of the Transformation Realm," Yuanbao explained, shrugging. "The Ten Thousand Mountains are vast, with countless peaks and valleys. It's not surprising that there are huge differences in strength between the different regions. Besides, I heard that before Ruyi and Chilian came to Brother Yuze's side, they were also rulers of their own regions, right?" (Monthly Fee Group)

"Now that you think about it, it seems there really is such a thing." Chen Yuze scratched his head, thinking carefully about the situation when Ruyi and Chilian first arrived.

Although they were severely injured at that time, even before their cultivation level dropped, they were only at the Great Perfection of the Transformation Realm.

In this light, it's not surprising that the actual ruler of Mount Bole only has the cultivation level of the Transformation stage.

As Chen Yuze chatted casually with the girls, his view gradually opened up.

As they walked along the mountain road to its end, the entrance to the village they had just been in came into view.

At this moment, two demonic beasts with horse-like faces and wielding pitchforks reached out and blocked Chen Yuze and his group.

Who goes there?

"Changqingshan, Chen Yuze." Chen Yuze smiled and cupped his hands in greeting to the two horse-faced figures in front of him, then pointed to the girls behind him: "These are my wives."

"So you're a fellow Daoist from Changqing Mountain?" After taking another look at Chen Yuze's handsome appearance and the group of girls behind him, the two horse-faced guards, though they had already returned the greeting, still showed no intention of letting him pass: "May I ask why Fellow Daoist Chen has come to my Liema Village?"

“I heard from a friend on Changqing Mountain that there’s a black dog spirit that likes to gnaw on crops causing trouble on Bole Mountain. I’ve come here to find out about that black dog spirit so that Bole Mountain can have some peace and quiet.” Chen Yuze didn’t beat around the bush and got straight to the point.

"Fellow Daoist, are you here to capture that Black Whirlwind?" Upon hearing that Chen Yuze had come to capture the Black Dog Demon, the eyes of the two horse-faced guards immediately lit up.

To be fair, this black whirlwind has really given several villages on Bole Mountain a lot of headaches.

However, the Black Whirlwind possessed the cultivation of the early stage of transformation and was adept at concealing its whereabouts. Even if the Red Hare King himself came, he could do nothing against it.

“Fellow Daoist, that Black Whirlwind possesses a terrifying cultivation level at the early stage of the Transformation Realm. Capturing him would still be quite risky.”

While it was indeed a great thing for Bole Mountain that someone was willing to help capture Black Whirlwind, the two horse-faced figures still reminded them, "If your cultivation is still shallow, then we can only appreciate your kindness. After all, this is a matter for Bole Mountain itself, and King Red Hare has also said that it is best not to involve outsiders."

"Whom do you look down on?"

Upon hearing the tone of the two horse-faced men, Yuanbao immediately became displeased.

The terrifying pressure of the Void Refinement Realm surged towards them in an instant.

With two 'plop' sounds, the two horse-faced demons released their pitchforks and knelt down in front of Yuanbao, their faces covered in cold sweat.

"You can't even transform properly, yet you dare to point fingers at my brother Yuze? Why don't you apologize to my brother Yuze right now?"

"Alright, alright, they're just trying to help us. What are you doing?"

He flicked Yuanbao's forehead, urging her to hurry up and bring Wei...

After the pressure dissipated, Chen Yuze personally helped up the two horse-faced guards whose legs were still trembling: "I'm sorry, fellow Daoists. My wife is used to being spoiled at home, so please don't take offense at her."

"Not at all, fellow Daoist, you flatter us. It was our ignorance that led us to offend you and the fairies."

Shaking their horse faces, the two horse-faced figures, whose suffocating pressure had almost shattered their Dao hearts, naturally dared not utter any more nonsense.

Moreover, neither of them harbored any resentment.

After all, the Ten Thousand Mountains are a place where the strong prey on the weak.

The distinguished guest before them was someone even the Red Hare King would treat with utmost respect. They dared not harbor any dangerous thoughts like, "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river; don't underestimate the horse-faced one's fortunes."

Besides, they came specifically for that Black Whirlwind.

The stronger their abilities, the greater the probability of catching Black Whirlwind.

As long as they can catch Black Whirlwind in the end, it's okay if they suffer a little loss.

Right now, it would be best to tell them about Black Whirlwind first.

191. Caught in the Net

The bright white crescent moon hung high overhead.

In a vast cornfield somewhere in Bole Mountain, Chen Yuze was holding a pitchfork, aiming at a badger that was munching on corn in the field, looking exactly like a young Runtu.

According to the two horse-faced figures who spoke during the day, Black Whirlwind's crime-solving frequency had absolutely no discernible pattern.

The only clue is that it prefers to eat corn.

Left with no other option, Chen Yuze had to take the girls to try their luck at the largest cornfield on Bole Mountain.

Instead of encountering the black whirlwind, they ran into a silly badger.

"Ugh~~ Brother Yuze, it's already past midnight, when are we going home?"

She covered her mouth and dozed off, and as the night grew later, Yuanbao's patience gradually wore thin.

"Let's wait and see. If we still haven't caught anything by midnight, we'll go home."

Having successfully chased away the badger that came to steal corn, Chen Yuze stretched out, feeling rather bored.

If he had known that catching Black Whirlwind would be so tiring, he should have caught that wicked Golden Crow and Cheng Wanli back then and earned more Benevolence Points.

After all, given their character, they don't deserve 'humane' treatment at all, right?

"Speaking of which, don't you guys think there's something a little strange about this whole thing from beginning to end?"

Just as everyone was starting to doze off, Moxi suddenly frowned and voiced her opinion:

"Although the early stage of transformation isn't exactly strong, in some mountains where the average cultivation level of demonic beasts is relatively weak, one could be a mountain king or second-in-command. At the very least, one could easily become a henchman for a powerful force. Why do you think Black Whirlwind doesn't live an honest life and instead insists on doing petty thievery?"

"Maybe it's because his original form was a dog?" Zhengyi offered her opinion from the side.

Then he was immediately ignored by everyone.

“What Meixi said does make some sense. I don’t quite understand why this dignified early-stage metamorphosis demon beast would steal other people’s crops on Mount Bole. With his abilities, he shouldn’t be able to thrive in these Hundred Thousand Mountains, but he should at least be able to live a life of comfort. Unless he…”

Touching his chin, Chen Yuze suddenly thought of a possibility.

In his past life, there were some special people. Despite living in very wealthy families, they would repeatedly exhibit an uncontrollable urge to steal. Although they would be punished after stealing, most of them were unable to change their ways.

It's as if, for these people, stealing has become the only thing in their lives that brings them joy.

"So, unless what exactly is it?"

Seeing Chen Yuze suddenly stop talking halfway through his sentence, the girls who had been listening intently were practically hoping that each of them could give him a good whack to wake him up.

"Sorry, sorry." Seeing the girls' murderous looks, Chen Yuze quickly explained:

"I just suddenly thought of a mental disorder that falls under the category of will control disorder, a special kind of abnormal psychological illness."

"Brother Yuze, can't you explain it in simpler terms? I don't understand!" Yuanbao got a headache from all the technical jargon.

Moxi and Zhengyi nodded in agreement.

The implication is that they want people to speak like humans.

After a moment's thought, Chen Yuze explained in as concise a language as possible:

"Simply put, it's a form of kleptomania. Kleptomania is characterized by an uncontrollable, recurring urge to steal. The stolen items are not for personal use or for their value. Sufferers often throw away the stolen items, secretly return them to their original location, or hide them. This urge to steal seems to have a certain cycle; when the intensity of the urge rises to a certain level, the act of stealing brings satisfaction."

"I understand!"

After listening to Chen Yuze's explanation, the clever Yuanbao immediately realized: "In other words, this kleptomania is actually the same reason why Brother Yuze likes to see us wearing stockings!"

"This……"

Faced with Yuanbao's inexplicably sharp remarks, Chen Yuze was momentarily at a loss for words to refute them.

Moreover, in a sense, Chen Yuze's desire for stockings and legs is actually even greater than a kleptomaniac's obsession with stealing.

After all, the urge to steal that someone has a kleptomania does have a certain periodicity.
