CH 17

Early the next morning.

A huge jet-propelled airship, departing from Xue City, sailed at breakneck speed towards the Demon Beast Mountain Range to the south.

After two hours.

The airship finally landed at the foot of the Demon Beast Mountain Range just before noon.

On the deck of the airship, hundreds of cultivators gathered.

These cultivators were mainly from Xue City, while the rest, were all young sons and daughters of small clans who had gone out for training.

They were talking to each other, chatting feverishly.

Without exception, they all had excited expressions on their faces.

It was simply because today was the once every three months hunting event for demonic beasts: the hunting season.

“This hunting season, I will kill enough wolf demons to avenge the death of my brothers last time!”

“This young master will kill a hundred demon beasts to raise the prestige of my Extreme Star Divine Sword Sect!”

“I will make the world a better place, killing all the demons and making the human race happy, I will live up to my promise!”

“I want to be rich!!!”

…

Everyone looked eagerly at the tens of thousands of miles of demon-beast mountain range that stretched before them, like a giant dragon sleeping for ten thousand years.

They couldn’t wait to rush in and go on a killing spree.

“Quiet!”

A loud voice, mixed with spiritual energy, came down from the high platform at the prow of the boat.

The crowd shut up and looked towards the prow of the boat.

They saw a middle-aged man with graying hair at the temples, Xue Yuanshan, standing majestically against the wind with his hands behind his back.

Behind him stood Xue Menghan, Ling Aotian, and a dozen guards from the City Lord’s residence.

Xue Yuanshan stroked the roots of his slightly mottled beard as he instructed the hundreds of cultivators on deck.

“About the hunting season, I will only say two points.”

“These two points are very important, and you must bear them in mind!”

He held up a finger.

“The first point is that the demon race is the enemy of our human race, so no matter what your reasons for participating in the hunting season are, you should all unite and be in agreement.”

He held up a second finger.

“Second point, demon beasts are vicious and cunning, if you see one, you don’t have to think twice, either kill it or run away.”

He held up a third finger.

“Also to mention, some of you may make a fortune in this hunt, but money is an external thing, so you shouldn’t eye others, you shouldn’t rob others of their loot, and you shouldn’t kill each other.”

He held up a fourth finger.

“The most important point is that recently, I have received news that there is a demon army stronghold hiding inside the Demon Beast Mountain Range with unknown intentions, if any of you can uncover it, the City Lord’s Palace will reward you heavily.”

He simply held out his five fingers.

“One last thing, the duration of the hunting season, is five days, after that, the airship will return to Xue City, after that time, no waiting.”

He held out his other hand and raised another index finger.

Crowd of cultivators: “……”

Xue Yuanshan suddenly pointed towards the Demon Beast Mountain Range, his voice loud and majestic:

“Hunting season, begin!”

Clap, clap, clap!!!

As his voice fell.

Hundreds of cultivators instantly jumped off the airship like brutes with feverish blood, owling.

In no time, all the cultivators had all rushed into the mountain forest.

Ling Aotian was also ready to get off the airship and enter the Demon Beast Mountain Range.

Instead, he saw Xue Menghan, who was stroking something in the air with her hand. I don’t know what.

So he went up curiously and asked with a smile.

“Menghan, what are you doing?”

Xue Menghan did not respond.

Because she was concentrating on her diary.

[March 7, sunny.]

[Today, Ding Nanrong is as sexy as ever, making me feast my eyes on her.]

But why did she suddenly pinch my waist a few times?]

[It almost made me laugh. It’s not in the original plot!]

[Is this old maid going through menopause?]

[Forget about her, anyway, she–]

What?

Xue Menghan startled.

The contents of the diary suddenly disappeared.

After a while, the contents of the diary came back.

[It scared the hell out of dad just now. Ding Nanrong suddenly barged into my room and asked me what I was doing.]

[You didn’t know that I was taking a bath? You put the hot water in yourself, so did she come to see me taking a bath?]

[That’s right. That must be it! Anyway, I don’t think she could see me writing in my diary! In other words, I’m the only one who can see this diary![

[Good, the dog system’s security work is excellent.]

[In the future, if I don’t like this old maid, I will write a diary to scold her in front of her, haha.]

Ding Nanrong: “Try it.”

Xue Menghan:…..” Childish.”

[Forget about her. She didn’t affect the main storyline anyway after she changed her clothes and hair]

[Well, today’s main storyline, is hunting season.]

[Although I’ve been beaten by Ling Aotian so much that I can’t get out of bed.]

[But according to the plot, as a villain, I still have to go to hunting season in a wheelchair.]

[Damn, how am I going to fight demon beasts in a wheelchair?]

[Go up with a sliding shovel?]

[How fucking stupid.]

“Haha.”

Seeing this, Xue Menghan couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

“Menghan, you look so pretty when you smile.”

Ling Aotian gave a sincere compliment.

Xue Menghan politely returned the compliment.

“Thank you.”

Then pursed her smile and continued reading her diary.

She found that sometimes it was quite enjoyable to watch Jiang Mu spout off.

[It couldn’t be helped, who let Xue Menghan, the silly dog, participate in the hunting season too.]

[As her exclusive licking dog, I’ll have to perform the dog licking style in front of her later, crying.]

[Ugh, I feel like I’m crying in a graveyard.]

Stomp!

Xue Menghan suddenly stepped heavily on the boat’s board, cracking cobwebs.

This scared Ling Aotian for a moment.

“Menghan, what’s wrong with you?”

Ling Aotian was stunned to find that Xue Menghan, who just now had a smile on her face, was like a cat that had exploded in the blink of an eye.

Her arm was still in the air, scratching very hard at something unknown.

“It’s nothing!”

Don’t be angry, Yes Calm Down.

Xue Menghan struggled to control her emotions.

Continue to look down.

[Now, the hunt has begun, right?]

[I don’t have much of a role today, just to kneel down and lick Xue Menghan in the demon beast mountain range and cry and beg her not to withdraw her marriage.]

[The result was, of course, that she refused. I persisted, and then Ling Aotian stepped in.]

[Then I clashed with Ling Aotian, and as a result, I was given a good beating by him and ended up running away like a dog in distress.

[Well, that’s probably how today will go.]

High above the clouds.

A small jet-propelled private airship was flying at high speed in the direction of the Demon Beast Mountain Range.

This private airship was equivalent to a smaller version of the one in Xue Cheng.

It was ship-like, without sails, and its hull was made of wood and iron, while huge crystals for jetting were embedded at the bow, stern and bottom of the ship.

Inside the large ship, Jiang Mu and Ding Nanrong were the only two people inside.

Ding Nanrong was at the controls of the ship in the cockpit, while Jiang Mu was in his luxurious room, taking a bath and writing in his diary.

“What kind of reward will there be today?”

Jiang Mu closed his diary.

[Ding, congratulations to the master, for successful diary writing.]

[Temperament +1]

[Face value +1]

[Reward obtained: The body that bears all poisons.]

[Reward introduction: Master is poisonous.]

[①When infested with poison, it will automatically condense the poison into a ‘Poison Pill’.]

[②Can expel the Poison Pill at any time to trigger a Poison Explosion.]

[③Can actively absorb poison.]
