Chapter 446

Hard work fee?

Zhou Xing was a little confused: "I dare to ask senior, what is going on?"

The stunningly beautiful girl floated on the back of the giant bird and said casually: "I was ordered by my master to find out the truth about the death of Junior Sister Li. Later, I found out the murderer and fled to Chu State. Then I took my sect's bird mount 'Blue Cangniao' and arrived.

here."

That's it.

Zhou Xing understood that the other party was indeed from the sect. But the sect level of this woman must be higher than that of the Yunyue Sect, and her status was definitely not low.

"As for this woman...as the daughter of a murderer, she must be eradicated and cannot remain in this world."

The girl's cold eyes fell on the daughter of Dasha.

puff!

The girl waved her sleeves, and a sharp blue frost light hit the girl of Dasha from the air.

Hiss!

In an instant, a layer of frost formed all over Dasha's daughter's body, her limbs quickly hardened, and the vitality within them was instantly frozen to death.

Zhou Xing could vaguely see that there were numerous cracks on this woman's body due to the cold.

Huhu~

The girl took off on the giant bird "Blue Cangbird", carrying a strong wind and flying sand.

As for the Daughter of Dasha, in the fierce wind, her stiff frost body was scattered into countless ice fragments.

"May I ask your Excellency, please give me your surname. I'll have an explanation later."

Zhou Xing asked.

In fact, he just simply wanted to know the name of the woman with this stunning glance.

"Ling Jian Zong, Ye Luofeng."

The giant bird took the girl, turned into a black spot, and entered the clouds.

Ye Luofeng?

Zhou Xing withdrew his gaze and played with the porcelain bottle in his hand. There was a small, crystal clear pill inside.

"Although I didn't get the loot from Dasha, the trip was worth it."

Zhou Xing put away the small porcelain vase.

Immediately, he took Dasha's body and returned the same way.

Two hours later.

Zhou Xing returned to the previous mountain top.

At this moment, the lights were brightly lit on the top of the mountain, and the soldiers and guards of the city lord's palace set up camp here.

"Brother Xing, are you back?"

In front of the barracks, a young girl sitting cross-legged suddenly stood up.

It's none other than Zhou Ying'er.

When they saw Zhou Xing returning with Dasha's body, there was a sensation in the camp.

"Young Master Zhou, you are so brave."

The city lord, Chu Fengyun, looked overjoyed and quickly brought people to greet him.

Inside the barracks.

Zhou Xing was sought after by many masters and generals.

He had no interest in these entertainments, and said with a smile: "I wonder when I can get the reward for killing the three evil spirits of Honghu."

Speaking of which, these three evil spirits of Honghu all died at the hands of Zhou Xing.

"Don't worry, Young Master Zhou. The imperial court's reward cannot be guaranteed, but the reward from the city lord's mansion will be delivered to you by Mr. Chu himself tomorrow."

Chu Fengyun smiled warmly and looked at Zhou Xing from time to time, full of admiration.

During this time.

Everyone was naturally interested in the details of killing the Dasha.

Everyone was somewhat disappointed when they learned that Dasha collapsed from exhaustion and was killed by Zhou Xing with one punch.

Some people couldn't help but feel annoyed: Why did Zhou Xing pick up such a bargain?

"I wonder, is Dasha's daughter alive or dead?"

Chu Fengyun asked.

"While escaping, I fell into a cliff..."

Zhou Xing lied without making a draft.

"oh?"

Chu Fengyun looked at Zhou Xing thoughtfully, but did not go into details.

In the subsequent conversation, Zhou Xing learned a detail. The flute in the hand of Ersha Sanhunxiang was missing.

Zhou Xing felt a chill in his heart.

Could it be that "Ye Luofeng" who fell from the sky had watched him and others kill him from beginning to end, but he just didn't bother to intervene in the battle among the ants?



When we rushed back to Zhou's house, the sky was getting brighter.

After learning that Zhou Xing had killed the Three Evils of Honghu, the senior officials of the Zhou family were naturally extremely excited.

Zhou Xing and Zhou Ying'er were a little tired, so they both played back and took a rest.

Just that afternoon.

The city lord Chu Fengyun brought the reward to his house.

Knowing that Zhou Xing and the two were resting, Chu Fengyun asked the head of the family not to disturb them, but at the banquet, he made it clear that he wanted to see Zhou Xing's parents.

Father Zhou and Mother Zhou were also a little surprised.

Chu Fengyun is the lord of a city, and there is a huge Chu family behind him. Compared with this, the Zhou family in Xiangyang City is nothing compared to the big one.

Such a person actually wants to meet them in person.

This is undoubtedly an honor.

"I heard that Takako's qualifications are semi-spiritual and that he is an outer disciple of Yunyue Sect?"

Chu Fengyun asked with a smile.

"good."

Zhou's father, Zhou Tiande, nodded slightly.

Chu Fengyun's next words shocked everyone present:

"May I ask, can your son be engaged in marriage?"

Bang bang!

In his sleepy eyes, Zhou Xing was awakened by a knock on the door.

"Brother Xing, open the door quickly. There's something big happening. The reward from the City Lord's Mansion has arrived..."

A girl's voice, as clear as a silver bell, came.

Zhou Xing knew it was his cousin Zhou Ying'er without opening his eyes.

"What a happy event? Is the reward coming?"

Zhou Xing turned over and got up, with all the sleep on his face and a bit of anticipation in his heart.

The reward for killing the "Three Evils of Honghu" is quite large.

open the door.

Zhou Ying'er looked at Zhou Xing, who was hastily washing up, with a somewhat narrow smile on her face.

"What are you doing?"

Zhou Xing showed a hint of vigilance. Could this woman have some idea against him?

He knew that Zhou Ying'er was very tempted by the semi-treasure that offered a reward.

"Hee! I'm here to tell Brother Xing a happy event..."

Zhou Yinger said mysteriously.

"What a happy event? Is the reward from the City Lord's Mansion coming?"

Zhou Xing finished washing and tidying up his clothes.

"The reward belongs to you!" Zhou Ying'er said angrily: "A big happy event is naturally a major event in your life."

A major event in life? What’s going on!

Zhou Xing's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly had a bad feeling.

"My father and the others have arranged a marriage for you! The person is the other daughter of the city lord Chu Fengyun. Is this considered a happy event? Shouldn't you be overjoyed and transfer that semi-treasure to me...

…”

Zhou Ying'er's face turned red and she became more and more excited as she talked.

Marriage! Chu Fengyun’s daughter?

Zhou Xing felt as if he had been struck by lightning, almost swaying in place.

When it came to marriage, he had an instinctive rejection. When he mentioned Chu Fengyun's daughter, he inexplicably thought of the daughter of Dasha.

"Hey! What's your reaction? I've seen Chu Fengyun's real daughter. Her beautiful face is not that Dasha's daughter..."

Zhou Ying'er suppressed a smile on her face, revealing her teasing nature.

Zhou Xing's face didn't look good.

He is a sect-based person who yearns for the pinnacle of martial arts.

How can the family make the right decision when it comes to marriage matters?

Zhou Ying'er on the side looked like she was watching a good show and was afraid that the world would not be in chaos.

After a while.

Zhou Xing held back a sentence: "One thing is another matter. No matter what you say, let's collect the reward first."

Zhou Yinger almost choked.

At this time, Zhou Xing already had concerns in his mind.

Let's take all the benefits that should be taken first. As for the marriage, it won't matter whether it's negotiation or quarrel.

Not long after.

Zhou Xing and his wife walked into a large living room.

Sitting in the guest hall were the city lord Chu Fengyun, the family head Zhou Tianwei, Zhou's father and mother, and even several clan elders.

"Okay, you're finally here."

The head of the family, Zhou Tianwei, had a smile on his face, and his attitude towards Zhou Xing changed greatly.

Zhou Xing could vaguely see that this big change was not only due to his record of killing the great evil, but also due to another reason.

"Young Master Zhou, Mr. Chu has sent me a reward as promised."

Chu Fengyun smiled kindly.

Although he didn't have a good impression of these two people, Zhou Xing still bowed briefly to them.

"Young Master Zhou, this is the reward you deserve."

Chu Fengyun said no more polite words, took out a long wooden box and handed it to Zhou Xing.

Zhou Xing's eyes brightened slightly as he took the long wooden box.

When the wooden box is opened, the first thing revealed is a dagger of exquisite workmanship.

The hilt of the dagger had a simple bronze texture, and the one-foot blade was as smooth as a mirror, as if it were made from nature. There was a bit of cold light on the edge of the sword.

"Is this the semi-treasure?"

Zhou Xing looked curious and picked up the sword.

Suddenly, a clear sound of wind echoed around the sword.

Holding this sword in his hand, Zhou Xing felt an inexplicable lightness, which could never be brought about by ordinary soldiers.

"The name of this sword is 'Wind Yin Sword'. Its quality is close to that of a treasure. It is the most famous sword in the world. In terms of sharpness, this sword is comparable to a real treasure. It can cut iron like clay. It also has other characteristics.

,Young hero, you will know after you go back and try it..."

Chu Fengyun said with a smile.

Obviously, he is very confident in the quality of this sword.

"Is iron as good as clay? Hehe, let me try..."

Zhou Yinger picked up a fine thick-backed broadsword from nowhere and slashed at Zhou Xing.

Zhou Xing smiled and responded with the "Wind Chanting Sword".

Dingka!

The heavy broadsword on his back was cut into two pieces by the Feng Yin dagger.

"Ah no! That's my male tiger sword——"

The head of the family, Zhou Tianwei, reacted and couldn't help but scream, with a look of pain on his face.

It turned out that the sword Zhou Ying'er picked up was actually the Xionghu sword that had been with the family owner for many years.

This knife is a rare fine knife in the world.

However, in front of the extremely sharp "Wind Yin Sword", it was cut off at the waist.

What a sharp sword!

Zhou Ying'er's eyes were full of love, and she stretched out her hand to play with the Feng Yin Sword.

"good."

Zhou Xing looked satisfied. In terms of sharpness alone, the "Feng Yin Sword" was even better than Le Feng's treasured weapon, the Broken Sword.

In addition to the Wind Song Sword, there are two other items in the long box.

They are a land deed and a golden ticket respectively.

The land deed represents a piece of fertile land on the outskirts of Xiangyang, which is equivalent to the territory of a small village.

The golden ticket is ten thousand taels of gold.

The appearance of these two objects made the eyes of several elders present shine and their hearts beat wildly.

Even the head of the family, Zhou Tianwei, seemed a little moved.

"These ten thousand taels of gold were advanced by me on behalf of the imperial court."

Chu Fengyun explained.

Feeling satisfied, Zhou Xing put away the land deed and gold ticket, and took back the "Wind Singing Sword" that Zhou Ying'er was reluctant to part with.

Finish the reward.

Chu Fengyun didn't stay any longer and left first.



"Okay, I wonder what you plan to do with that piece of land?"

The head of the family, Zhou Tianwei, asked tentatively.

He was very tempted by this land deed, which could expand his territory and consolidate his family's strength.

"I plan to use the ten thousand gold and the land deed to build a manor for my own residence in the future. Uncle, Ying'er, you can come to my manor to play in the future."

Zhou Xing did not hide his purpose.

Hear the words.

The owner of the house and several other senior officials had disappointment and dissatisfaction on their faces.

But now that Zhou Xing is established in the sect and has good strength, they cannot force him.

"I heard from Ying'er that my uncle has arranged a marriage for me. I don't know if this is true."

Zhou Xing changed the topic and sounded a little unhappy.

In the lobby, the atmosphere dropped.

The head of the family, Zhou Tianwei, looked a little embarrassed.

Firstly, Zhou Xing's tone of voice was unkind, and secondly, this marriage was indeed done without the other party's consent.

"Okay! This marriage is approved by my mother. Don't blame your uncle wrongly."

Zhou's mother, Liu Yu, suddenly interrupted.

mother?

Zhou Xing couldn't help but speak stagnantly.

As the saying goes, "The orders of parents are the words of matchmakers." According to secular rules, parents can generally decide the marriage of their children.

"Okay, I've seen the portrait of the daughter of City Lord Chu. She is absolutely beautiful and beautiful, and she is a perfect match for you."

Zhou's mother, Liu Yu, comforted her with a gentle voice.

Wow!

After saying that, she took out a picture scroll and slowly unfolded it.

"Huh? This is..."

Zhou Xing took a closer look and saw on the scroll, there was a graceful girl with a graceful and graceful figure, with willow eyebrows on her temples, eyes like stars, and a sweet smile. The pure beauty in the splash-ink painting is heart-pounding.

Just looking at the portrait, we can see that this woman's appearance is no less beautiful than Mu Xueqing's, and she also has the charm of everyone's jade.

"Hehe, Brother Xing will probably change his mind when he sees the portrait. Then Chu Wanyu is a disciple of the Shuiyue Sect with me."

Zhou Ying'er curled her lips and said with a hint of contempt.

"cough."

Zhou Xing cannot deny that just looking at the portrait, this girl is really tempting.

"Okay."

Seeing his excited expression, Zhou Tianwei smiled while stroking his hands: "You have also seen this woman's appearance. She and the Lord of Chu City are from numerous wealthy families in Chu State. Once you marry her, you will have a great influence on our Zhou family.

benefit."

Marriage between rich families?

Zhou Xing finally understood that all this was motivated by family interests.

"My child, that Chu Qianjin is only one year older than you. He is a half-spirit in the Shuiyue Sect. He has the same qualifications as you, but with the help of family resources, he is now in the middle stage of Tongmai. Regardless of his life experience,

My appearance and talent are more than enough for you."

Mother Zhou said with a smile.

Obviously, she is extremely satisfied with this marriage.

Zhou Xing was secretly surprised, why did Chu Fengyun take a fancy to him and be willing to marry his daughter to him?

Although Zhou Xing didn't have a good impression of Chu Fengyun, he was really far-reaching in terms of his wits and calculations. Even the treacherous Dasha repeatedly suffered losses at his hands.

"Even so, Xing'er cannot agree to this marriage lightly."

Zhou Xing shook his head.

After establishing himself in the sect world, his horizons have been greatly broadened, and he yearns for the pinnacle of martial arts.

Now, because of Mu Xueqing, he almost missed the best opportunity to practice.

He won't make the same mistake again!

A woman he has never seen before, even if she is as beautiful as a fairy, Zhou Xing cannot easily make a lifelong commitment to her!

What!

You don't agree?

The faces of the clan elders present, including Zhou Tianwei, froze, and the atmosphere became depressed again.

Especially the head of the family, Zhou Tianwei, looked a little unhappy.

Being able to marry into a big family like the Chu family is a great thing that the Zhou family can only dream of.

However, Zhou Xing, a junior, could still refuse?

He actually refused?

Such beautiful ladies, and being in the same sect world, wouldn't it be a perfect match?

"Can't you make a small sacrifice for the family? What's more, Chu Wanyu is definitely worthy of you..."

Zhou Tianwei took a deep breath, with a hint of sternness on his face.

"cannot."

The young man's simple answer made Zhou Tianwei's face turn red.

"You...well, well! You think your wings have grown strong, and you have no regard for the overall interests of the family."

Zhou Tianwei smiled instead of getting angry.

now.

Several clan elders present, including Zhou's father and mother, looked at Zhou Xing with some disappointment and regret.

Seeing that my Taoist companion has practiced the art of substitution, I remember the domain name: \w\w\w\.\8\2\z\w\.\c\o\m\
