Medical Fees (3)
It was difficult enough to catch the lion, then they had to dodge the young manâs arrows. It was exhausting! As time passed, the number of soldiers dwindled because most of them were either injured, pinned unto the ground or the wall.
Ye Langâs lion is impressive! Paired with his archery skills, theyâre a terrifying presence, Li Yue thought privately.
âItâs your turn!â Li Yue had already killed her way to the front of the major. She was splattered with blood, intimidating as ever.
âNo, donât kill me!â yelled the major in a panic. He was already too scared just from looking at her.
ââŠâ Li Yue did not speak, directly thrusting her sword through his throat. Fresh blood sprayed everywhereâŠ
âThe major is dead! The major is deadâŠâ
When they saw the major collapse, the soldiers started to scatter and stopped fighting the two. Morale was already very low and after hearing the gruesome cries, they were terrified.
âYour medical fees are on your majorâs body. Next time, please be smart and hope you donât meet a Sorceress like my sister here!â Ye Lang left them with this piece of advice then rode off with Li Yue.
Li Yue rolled her eyes and ignored him.
The rest of the crying soldiers and the crowd who witnessed everything were exasperated. To them, when compared to the Sorceress, it seemed like he was the slightly scarier one. Most of the soldiers were wounded by his arrows.
However, at least the sibling duo was merciful enough. Most of the soldiers were heavily injured but the wounds were not fatal. Especially the ones who were shot- they did not die afterwards, just needed time for recuperation.
Slam!
Within the Muyang Town Lieutenant-Generalâs study, a middle-aged man slammed a folder of documents on the desk. It was obvious he was furious at the outcome of the situation.
âYouâre all telling me, a twenty-something-year-old boy and girl destroyed four hundred people? And you all let them kill your major?!â
âYes sirâŠâ the soldiers standing before him muttered nervously.
âYouâre all useless piles of trash! What happened to all your training? Whatâs the use of the Tanlang military group spending precious resources on feeding all of you? Four hundred people, all defeated by two people! And it was up to them to be merciful, thatâs why youâre alive!â the middle-aged man continued yelling.
ââŠâ The soldiers did not dare speak.
âDo you know what was the cause of the conflict?â asked the man.
âWe donât know. Our subordinates tell us it was because the Sorceress cut off the arms and legs of more than ten of our men, thatâs why the major had to step up.â Of course, the soldiers did not dare mention that they were at fault, especially not the twenty-five thousand gold coins they received.
âHmmph! I donât care who these two are, they killed someone of mine, then hurt hundreds of my people! This matter shall not end here! If we do not kill them, then there will be no dignity in our Tanlang military group!â he said coldly. âGather the horses and men, catch up to the two.â
âYes, sir!â
And just like that, the most elite fighters of Muyang Town was dispatched to kill Ye Lang and Li Yue- who by now were already far, far away. They did not seek help from other towns because they felt like it was too embarrassing and they would just be treated as a joke.
They were confident that theyâd be able to defeat the two because Ye Lang and Li Yue looked very young. They should be at most Di earthly level fighters and these people were strong enough to defeat two Di level fighters.
This special task force was filled with master fighters. The Tanlang military group was no weak organisation- Muyang Town was a significant military base after all.
Ye Lang and Li Yue did not know they were being hunted down, completely unaware that someone was furious enough to send his best fighters after them to make sure they were killed.
Well, it wasnât even started by the both of them, plus theyâd paid the people twenty-five thousand gold coins. Any military group wouldâve called the matter off once they received such compensation, maybe only blacklisting them.
Based on this logic, Ye Lang and Li Yue had a very relaxed journey. After a while, they set up camp next to a stream at the foot of a hill.
There were still bloodstains on them both, especially on Li Yue. The bloodstains on Ye Lang were from her- sheâd jumped on the lion right after the fight and theyâd been riding together since.
Heâd already removed the stains using a purification alchemy formation, also cleaning the lion with the same procedures.
However, he just stripped off all his clothes and jumped into the river for a bath. His underwear was still on, of course. He wasnât THAT open.
However, when Li Yue saw this, she looked away shyly and started a fire instead to prepare tonightâs dinner.
This was deja vu, as if she was back to the group hunt days. Those were memories she would never forget!
If only Ye Lang wasnât lying and was genuinely nice to her, how nice would it be⊠Too bad he wasnât, but it still felt so good⊠Sigh, what is happening to me? Have I fallen in love with the asshole already? No, thatâs impossible! I hate him!
âHmmph!â with a huff, Li Yue hurled a pebble as far as she could into the forest, scaring a flock of birds.
âWoah! Li Yue, Li Yue, Li Yue, look look look!â Ye Langâs excited cries snapped her back to reality.
âWhat now?â Li Yue initially looked up scowling to scare Ye Lang but when she did, her jaw dropped.
âThis⊠ThisâŠâ
What shocked her? It was a fish. Of course, it was no ordinary fish. It was a huge fish, a gigantic fish.
As Ye Lang hugged the fish, it covered more than half of his body!
âThis fish is huge, isnât it?â he said excitedly.
âHow did you catch it?â Li Yue asked incredulously. Ye Lang wasnât even fishing, he was just playing in the stream.
âHehe, it swam to me on its own! It must have known that Iâm hungry so it delivered itself to me,â he said casually. He had never stopped to think about this phenomenon.
âYeah, youâre the son of Lady Luck! So, son of Lady Luck, what should we do with this fish?â she asked with a grin.
