AWB Chapter 400 Poisonous Woman
Chapter 400 Poisonous Woman
The city guard tugged at him, and Zhang Tie cursed as he walked, pointing at Shen Yao: "As a fairy, you actually gave yourself to a demon, and when you saw that the demon was an Emperor-level cultivator, you shamelessly clung to him, forgetting all propriety and shame..."
"Slap!" Before he could finish his nasty words, he was slapped away by a palm transformed from spiritual energy.
It was Feng Yu who made the move.
In this situation, even though Tu Xiaoxiao was brimming with murderous intent, she couldn't make a move.
He is a demon; taking action would escalate the conflict.
If Zhang Tie hadn't made this fuss, Shen Yao would have quietly instructed the city guards to send them to the city lord's mansion, instead of actually sending them to the clinic to spread rumors.
By provoking her first, he conveniently handed Shen Yao a good knife.
She could openly request the city guards to handle the matter, avoiding any pretext for her to act privately.
Feng Yu's palm strike was heavier than the previous one.
Zhang Tie's face was swollen high, and seven or eight of his teeth were knocked out.
He was in so much pain that he couldn't speak, and he lay on the ground unable to get up.
Shen Yao stood at the entrance of the hall, her face showing no anger or humiliation; she remained remarkably calm.
"Since you say you are ashamed to associate with immortal cultivators, do you mean you want to seek refuge with evil cultivators?"
Upon hearing this, the cultivators became alert, and many of the wounded showed signs of anger.
Zhang Tie covered his face and screamed, wanting to curse her but unable to utter a word.
Zhang Tie's brothers were terrified; they couldn't bear the label of having sided with a heretical cultivator.
They hurriedly explained, "We didn't mean that."
“Zhang Tie is talking nonsense. We never cursed you.”
A monk whose abdomen was wrapped in cotton cloth walked over and kicked Zhang Tie: "Zhang Tie, if you're looking for death, don't drag us down with you. I, Cui Xian, sever all ties with you today."
Shen Yao calmly added fuel to the fire: "City Guard Chief, they were just standing together, but now they're talking about severing all ties if they join the evil cultivators. I feel like... they're a little guilty?"
This incident caused a great stir. No matter how urgently Zhang Tie's brothers tried to explain, the fellow clansmen in the wounded camp refused to believe them.
I would rather kill the wrong person than let him go.
"Don't send them to the clinic!" A furious shout came from inside the hall. "City Guard Chief, lock them up and thoroughly investigate whether they are evil cultivators or spies."
"Perhaps the evil cultivators' breakout a few days ago was orchestrated by them as inside agents."
"I also find it very suspicious."
Public opinion can be deceiving. After a moment's thought, the city guard chief beckoned his men to arrest them: "Take them down."
Zhang Tie and his wounded brothers resisted to no avail and were firmly imprisoned by the city guards.
Cui Xian sensed something was wrong and pointed at Shen Yao, cursing, "Poisonous woman! Poisonous woman! You've been having an affair with a demon, you're the one who... um... um..."
The city guard chief used magic to seal his mouth and quickly led them out of the wounded camp.
The wounded camp is finally quiet.
Shen Yao smiled faintly and continued to treat the wounded.
Once he recovered, Deng Hua followed Shen Yao closely and took every opportunity to flatter her: "Sister Shen, you are really amazing. You discovered Zhang Tie's problem right away and cleaned up the trouble for us."
She praised loudly, and Shen Yao, casting a healing spell, replied loudly in return, "It's not that I'm amazing, I just have some doubts. It's you guys who are amazing, you have more experience than me."
Deng Hua smiled and said, "Sister Shen, you're so kind. Hurry up and heal her. Once you're done, let's become sworn brothers as soon as possible."
They healed one wounded soldier after another.
When Tu Xiaoxiao was treating patients before, few cultivators thanked him.
Immortal cultivators are inherently arrogant, and even though the fox demon is the Demon Emperor, they still believe that his contributions are a matter of course.
After Zhang Tie's incident, everyone, whether sincerely or not, treated Tu Xiaoxiao with utmost respect and repeatedly thanked her during treatment.
Tu Xiaoxiao has helped the Immortal Clan guard the border for so many years, and has suffered a lot of scorn and suspicion.
But he only reported good news and never bad news, and never mentioned it.
Shen Yao had always thought he was doing well on the border, but today she realized that life for demon cultivators among the immortals was not easy at all.
As Tu Xiaoxiao accepted the immortal cultivators' gratitude and thought of Shen Yao's protection of him, his heart felt warm.
Worth it.
Even if she didn't care much about him and her heart was devoted to Feng Yu, he felt it was all worth it.
Even in the most critical moments, his wife still loved him.
"Emperor Huo!"
"Emperor Huo..."
Calls filled with adoration echoed throughout the wounded camp.
It was Huo Die who came to pick up his granddaughter.
If we're talking about who has the highest prestige among the immortals in the world today, Huo Die is definitely number one.
In the eyes of all the cultivators, he was a war god who could kill bloodworms!
Who else in this world is like that?
There were cultivators in the wounded camp who recognized Huo Die. When he entered the camp, they spotted him with sharp eyes and cheered excitedly.
Even those immortal cultivators who didn't know Huo Die had circulated his portrait.
Many immortal cultivators carry objects engraved with the image of Emperor Huo as protective amulets.
His very existence inspires the immortal race's unwavering belief in victory.
Huo Die was firmly surrounded in the middle, and everyone wanted to admire him and greet him.
Huo Die was used to the enthusiasm of the masses.
He calmly and politely returned the greeting: "My friends are too kind. Please make way for me, I have other matters to attend to."
A cultivator asked, "Who is Emperor Huo looking for? I'll go find him for you right away."
Huo Die laughed and declined, "No need, my daughter is inside, I've already seen her."
The cultivators present only knew that Emperor Huo and Hall Master Jiang Qi were uncle and nephew, but they did not know that he also had a daughter.
The cultivators were in an uproar.
"Emperor Huo has a daughter?"
"How come Huo Xiandi's daughter is in the wounded camp?"
That's Huo Xiandi's daughter. If she were injured on the battlefield, she would definitely be treated immediately. Why was she sent to the wounded camp?
Shen Yao was casting a spell when she learned that her father had arrived, but she did not stop the spell to greet him.
Jiang Ming sent her a teleportation request, and she ruthlessly killed him with her spiritual power.
Huo Die was ushered into the hall: "Daughter, Dad is here."
Shen Yao replied, "I heard you, Father, Qing'er is on the second floor."
After treating the wounded, Tu Xiaoxiao came out of the room by the corridor and called out, "Dad!"
After receiving a nod of approval from Huo Die, he went on to treat other wounded soldiers.
The cultivators present were astonished: "Pharmacist Shen, you are actually the daughter of Emperor Huo!"
Shen Yao casually made up a story: "Yes, he's my biological son."
Upon hearing this, Huo Die guessed that she was about to fabricate another tragic love story between him and her non-existent mother, so he immediately chose to distance himself: "Daughter, you're busy, Dad will go upstairs to pick up his granddaughter."
A cultivator whispered, "So Shen Yaoshi's father is Huo Xiandi. Suddenly I can understand why she had two husbands."
One cultivator responded, "She is the daughter of Emperor Huo Xian. With such a status, it's only natural that she would have to find two, or even three."
Shen Yao chuckled awkwardly to herself, thinking how grateful she was to them; she had already contacted three.
Some quick-thinking people in the crowd came up with other ideas.
If even demons can become Huo Xiandi's son-in-law, then... do they also have a chance?
"Immortal Emperor Huo, are you still accepting sons-in-law?"
Huo Die paused, turning back to look at the male cultivator who had dared to ask the question: "What do you mean?"
The male cultivator who was healed by Shen Yao was also quite handsome.
He considered himself stronger than most male cultivators: "Immortal Emperor Huo, although I, Hu Hansan, am not as good as the Fox Emperor, and am only a mid-grade fifth-level cultivator with six spiritual roots, I will definitely be able to advance to the Immortal Realm if I work hard."
Huo Die frowned at him: "So?"
Hu Hansan glanced at Shen Yao, recalling her gentle demeanor as she healed his injuries, and confidently replied, "Immortal Emperor Huo, to be honest, I have fallen in love with Pharmacist Shen at first sight and wish to become your son-in-law."
