Sick beauty boss just wants salted fish [different world]

Sunset, the setting sun slanted to the west, and the orange-red afterglow fell on the closed gate of Moon City.

After a day and a night of battle with the beast horde, the formerly clean and tidy city gate has been occupied by messy bloodstains and scratches left by various monsters, making it look rather tragic.

Outside the city, most of the beast tide guards formed by prefecture-level cultivators looked tired. They had been fighting continuously for a long time, but there was no spare man in the city to take their place.

In the initial stage of the beast horde, all monsters of level [-] to [-] attacked the city, and occasionally there were even level [-] monsters.

Practitioners below the prefecture level cannot defend against monsters of level seven and above. To be on the safe side, prefecture level cultivators can only be allowed to defend the city, and those whose cultivation level is less than prefecture level are responsible for logistics.

"Is it my illusion? Why do I feel that the number of monsters attacking now seems to be less?" An earth-level cultivator rubbed his eyes and said with some uncertainty.

"I think so too, and there are only low-level monsters here. I haven't seen any higher-level monsters for an hour."

"It seems that this wave of beasts is unusual, and the way of monsters attacking the city is also different. Last night was the most powerful wave of beasts. Now the monsters should be retreating."

"..."

At this time, the person in charge of watching the movement of the monsters at the entrance of the city wall also brought good news: the tide of monsters is receding.

Everything is going well, and the beast tide guards are relieved. When the beast tide completely recedes, their responsibilities will be fulfilled.

The pressure to defend against monsters outside the city dropped sharply, but the "attentive" logistics staff in the city never stopped.

In order to resist the beast horde, the Wu family invited all the doctors in Moon City to help take care of the wounded of the beast horde guard.

Even though there was no doctor in the clinic to see the patients, everyone silently supported this decision when they thought of the beast tide.

The Wu family guards on horses shuttled through the streets and alleys. If it weren't for the fact that they all carried a bag of supplies behind their saddles, their motives were actually more like looking for something.

Outside the open-air corridor of Mingyue Inn, Wu Baishuang narrowed her eyes, yawned lazily, and withdrew her gaze without interest.

Now he has changed back to the usual white-gold dress, and still wears the silver-white mask that Chu Yan gave him, only his eyes and elegant chin are exposed.

In front of Wu Baishuang, in the communication formation connected by the contract between heaven and earth, an illusory shadow floated, which was exactly the appearance of the wind-walking wolf and golden soil.

"Aww!" Jin Tu yelled.

[The surrounding ninth-level monsters have already passed. 】

At noon today, Jintu was sent by Wu Baishuang to put on airs near the gates of each city.

Once the coercion of the ninth-level peak monsters is released, the surrounding high-level monsters who want to attack here will subconsciously back down.It is the default rule in Warcraft to try not to fight for loot with powerful allies when attacking a city.In this way, only the north gate of Yuecheng was not first occupied by the ninth-level peak monsters.The other ninth-level monsters subconsciously rushed towards the north gate.

Hearing Jintu's answer, Wu Baishuang felt better, "It's hard work for Jintu, I'm going to the North City Gate now."

Go over to see how Wu Yue accepts this great gift.

"Ouch--!"

【I want to go too. 】

Jin Tuba looked at his host, is it appropriate to fight without a magic pet?

"You continue to squat at the south gate and don't move around. What if you go to the north gate and scare the other monsters away?" Wu Baishuang rejected Jin Tu's appeal, "This is not appropriate."

Just when Wu Baishuang finished the contract communication with Jin Tu, Chu Yan came over from the other end of the corridor, carrying the concoction he was supposed to drink today.

The familiar medicinal fragrance mobilized Wu Baishuang's memory, causing him to take a step back subconsciously.

Some medicines have not yet started to drink, but the bitterness has spread to the bottom of my heart.

Wu Baishuang looked at death as if at home.

"I said earlier that if you want to use your spiritual power, you must drink medicine properly." Seeing his expression, Chu Yan began to reason with him.

"I know... I'll drink it now." Wu Baishuang replied sullenly, reached out to take the medicine bowl from Chu Yan's hand, looked at the pitch-black medicine juice in the porcelain white bowl, and finally closed his eyes and drank it down.

The two tastes of bitterness and astringency alternated back and forth. Before the sense of taste was almost lost, Wu Baishuang smelled a hint of sweetness, like the pitted and honey-dipped sweet dates that he loved most recently.

"Open your mouth." Chu Yan's voice sounded in front of Wu Baishuang.

Wu Baishuang subconsciously opened his lips and opened his eyes, and a sweet date dipped in honey came to his mouth.

"!"

After eating the sweet dates, the bitterness of the concoction faded a lot, and the tip of the tongue was full of pleasant sweetness.Wu Baishuang licked the corner of his lips, a little honey was on it, and his expression showed a sense of satisfaction.

Seeing his appearance, Chu Yan's expression eased, "Let's go, let's go to the North City Gate now."

Considering that Wu Baishuang's current appearance was too eye-catching, Chu Yan set up a hidden barrier around the two of them, and then walked down the stairs of Mingyue Inn.

Coincidentally, when they walked out of the Mingyue Inn, the first batch of earth-level cultivators who resisted the beast tide were returning exhausted to rest.Among them, several young disciples from aristocratic families are particularly conspicuous.

They were still wearing noble costumes embroidered with family crests, but they were no longer as clean as before. The clothes were covered with large and small bloodstains and signs of damage. They looked a little embarrassed, but it was still difficult to hide the brilliance in their eyes.

"Wu Ming, you are too powerful. You have dealt with a lot of seventh-level monsters by yourself. Everyone is also at the elementary level of the earth level. How can the gap be so big!"

"Yes, thanks to Wu Ming this time, otherwise my arm would most likely have to be replaced by a doctor."

"Wu Ming, who taught you your spiritual skills? Could it be Lord Wu Baishuang?"

"..."

Those aristocratic disciples gathered in front of a young witch family, chattering non-stop. It was the first time for them to participate in such a large animal horde.When they were in the imperial city, they still had the elders of the clan to escort them. Now that they don't have the protection of the family, they feel very different when they come out to participate in the battle against the beast horde.

Wu Ming heard the questions from his companions, so he put down his hands that wiped his sweat, and said to them, "Well, every year when my cousin comes to the Lord's house to celebrate the New Year, he also finds time to help us with our homework and spiritual skills."

"I envy you so much. With Master Wu Baishuang's guidance, one day, you will definitely become a strong man like him."

"Cousin is very strong, it would be nice if I have half of him." Wu Ming shook his head, answering his companion, while thinking about the New Year.

Cousin Wu Baishuang only comes to live with the host for a few days during the Chinese New Year. During the past few days, other younger brothers and sisters in the clan who love to be coquettish will surround him and ask him about this and that. An older child asked his cousin for advice. Spiritual skills, even all the children in the martial arts field were instructed once.

It's a pity that this kind of opportunity was only available when I was a child. After Wu Ming grew up a bit, my cousin didn't come to the host's house very often.

"Let's rest first. Lord Wu Baishuang is stationed at the North City Gate. After we rest, we will continue to help Lord Wu Baishuang!"

The average age of this group of aristocratic disciples fluctuated around 56 to [-] years old. Although they were exhausted, they were still full of vigor when they spoke.

Wu Baishuang, who was hiding her figure, took a few steps aside, waiting for them to enter first.

"Will the Patriarch of the Wu Family ask you to guide the successor of the Wu Family?" Chu Yan was quite surprised by this.

"It's not what he asked for. Every year when I go to the master's house to celebrate the New Year, some children will ask me to help me see the magic skills. It's not a big deal... and I haven't been there in recent years." Wu Baishuang glanced at Wu Ming, As far as I can remember, this cousin has always been calm and calm, and rarely has such a lively side now.

"After all, your reputation in the clan is too high, and it is not a good thing for him."

"Those are all in the past." Wu Baishuang looked towards the direction of the North City Gate, her tone light and brisk, "The gift I'm giving back to Wu Yue is just about to begin."

At the north gate of Yuecheng, "Wu Baishuang", who was supposed to be on guard at the city wall, was sitting in the rest room by the gate at the moment.

Across the wall, the guards outside the city were still fighting monsters, and Wu Yue in the lounge inside the city was making a pot of good tea, sitting gracefully on the side of the coffee table, listening to the news reported by the attendants.

The attendant respectfully said: "My lord, there is good news. The tide of monsters has begun to ebb, and there are no monsters above level six coming outside the city gate."

The receding tide of monsters means that Wu Yue can still do nothing in the next battle, as long as he doesn't use spiritual power, there is no problem in maintaining Wu Baishuang's identity.

Wu Yue took a sip of tea in satisfaction, and then continued to ask, "What else? Have you found Wu Baishuang?"

The attendant lowered his head, "The guards have searched nine tenths of the doctor's clinics in Moon City, but they still haven't found Mrs. Wu Baishuang."

"I've been searching for a day and a night, and I still haven't found it?" Hearing the bad news, Wu Yue frowned, just as he was about to get angry, and asked what happened to this group of idiots who were not good at doing things.

"Bang bang bang!!" The knock on the lounge door interrupted the original calm atmosphere, and the person who came to report said hurriedly, "Master Wu Baishuang, a high-level monster is coming, please help!"

"What high-level magical beast?" Didn't he just say that the beast tide is about to recede?

Wu Yue looked at the attendant suspiciously, seeing that the surprise on his face did not seem to be fake, he said in a deep voice, "Go and open the door."

Hearing this, the attendant hurried to open the door of the lounge.

Outside the door, the guard cultivator who came to report had a hideous wound on his shoulder, and blood was oozing out from the wound. Before he had time to deal with the injury, he rushed to invite the heavenly strong man who was stationed at the North City Gate. By.

"Master Wu Baishuang, four level [-] monsters are coming from the north city gate, please come forward to support me." The cultivator looked expectantly in the direction of "Wu Baishuang".

However, the answer he expected did not come, "Wu Baishuang" stood up from his seat, and his cold tone in the past was a little unbelievable, "How come there are four ninth-level monsters! It's not that the tide of beasts is about to ebb ?"

The cultivator was taken aback by the question.

Even with this question, he was constantly confused in his heart, and not only him, but also many guard practitioners at the north gate of Yuecheng were also confused——

But now the monsters are about to press into the city gate, and they need heaven-level powerhouses to fight!

"Master Wu Baishuang, you should act quickly to suppress the monsters. As for how they came, we don't know. It's not too late for everyone to find out the reason afterwards. They are about to reach the gate of the city."

Hearing these words, Wu Yue's face lost all composure and turned into anxiety.If it wasn't for the dark golden mask on his face, he might be showing his clues in front of people at this very moment.

"Let me first... I suddenly felt that the spiritual power in my heart was exhausted, and my meridians were cold."

At this juncture, Wu Yue couldn't continue pretending to be Wu Baishuang.

He used Wu Baishuang's name to participate in the beast tide, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, everyone would find that he did not have ice attribute spiritual power.At that time, all the excuses he made before that will be over, and he has deceived everyone in Yuecheng, but he can no longer deceive himself at this time.

Wu Yue was very sober, and winked at the attendant at the side.

The attendant came back to his senses, and quickly said, "Master Wu Baishuang's cold poison has flared up, and I must call the doctor for treatment immediately."

"..." The expression of the cultivator who came to ask for support froze for a moment. He never thought that the timing of the cold poison on "Master Wu Baishuang" would be so coincidental—just when the high-level monsters attacked the city. .

What about the North City Gate now?What should the people in Moon City do?

The attendant looked at the despairing expression on the cultivator's face, and he couldn't bear to persuade him, "I'm going to find a doctor, brother, or else you should go find other heavenly experts to come to help, our witches The family's reinforcements are still on the way, and should be arriving soon."

The Wu family's reinforcements were naturally Wu Yue who had broken away from the identity of "Wu Baishuang".As long as the outsider in front of him leaves, he can take off his disguise and fight the monsters as the head of the Wu family.In any case, Wu Yue was also a mid-level cultivator at the heavenly level, and he could still delay the four nine-level monsters until other cultivators at the heavenly level came to support them.

After the cultivator left, a deep voice suddenly came from above the attendant's head. "You are right. The reinforcements from the Wu family have indeed arrived."

"Who is it?" Hearing the unfamiliar voice, the attendant immediately looked warily at the source of the sound.

The visitor had black hair tied behind his head with a dark golden crown, looking quite neat and neat.But those dark red eyes stared at him indifferently from top to bottom, with an extremely dangerous aura in their eyes.

The attendant was no stranger to such an appearance, he had even obeyed the Patriarch's order and issued a tracking order for this person.

But before today, this person was only an earth-level cultivator in the impression of the attendants——

A crimson spiritual fire rose from the young man's hand, also bursting out his aura.Heaven-level middle-level, fire-attribute cultivator.

It's not prefecture level at all!

Amidst the attendant's exclamation, the crimson spiritual fire directly enveloped the lounge, and he was thrown in from the door by an irresistible force.He fell on the coffee table at Wu Yue's feet, hit his head, and fell unconscious.

It was Chu Yan who made the move. Without the obstruction of his attendants, he walked in through the door of the lounge, and his eyes fell on Wu Yue, "The cold poison has flared up? Do you really know what it looks like when the cold poison flares up?" Is it painful?"

"What do you mean by your Excellency? It's fine not to defend against monsters in the battle of the beast tide, but to stir up internal strife for no reason, isn't it appropriate?"

Wu Yue's hands were clenched into fists, his eyes were fixed on Chu Yan's direction, and he was thinking about how to face this situation.An aggressive sky-level mid-level cultivator may not be able to win benefits in a fight.In any case, he is now a member of the Wu family, and being an enemy of him is tantamount to offending the entire Wu family.

"Inappropriate?" Chu Yan smiled.

The crimson spiritual fire converged into a sharp blade in his hand, and after the blade was formed, he withdrew his hand regretfully, "Although I also want to act on Bai Shuang's behalf, you should let him do it yourself."

Hearing the name from Chu Yan's mouth, Wu Yue's face changed suddenly. He suddenly understood something, and immediately prepared to take off the mask, wanting to take off the disguise.But after his hand touched the mask on his face, he couldn't move half a bit anymore.

"After pretending for so long, I have also enjoyed the treatment I received in his name. Now it's too late to pretend that nothing happened."

In the ears, the voice from before was still ringing.

Wu Yue's eyes widened, trying to use the spiritual power in his original source to counter the force controlling his arm.However, after he mobilized his spiritual power, he felt a severe pain like burning from the meridians.

how so?Obviously he also has the strength of the mid-level sky.

Unbelievably, Wu Yue probed his inner body with his divine sense, and he found an extremely strange black flame, which was burning inch by inch along the meridian in his arm, and the meridian burned by the black flame seemed to disappear. In general, no longer exists.

This realization terrified him.

"I can't kill you for the time being." Chu Yan withdrew his natal spirit fire with some regret, and looked at Wu Yue who was still twitching and struggling, "Now, just stay here with this identity."

Outside.

As evening approached, the sun had already set into the west mountain, and the sky was covered with a blood-colored setting sun, and the hunting evening wind carried a strong smell of blood into the city gate.

Four huge ninth-level monsters appeared above the city of Yuecheng.

After they appeared, the cultivators at the entire North City Gate fell into panic. Some people went to invite "Master Wu Baishuang" to come forward, but got the news that Wu Baishuang's cold poison had broken out.This answer makes everyone face despair.

Before the four monsters captured the city gate, they had no time to invite other heavenly practitioners over.Once the city gate is damaged, Yuecheng will face the fate of four level [-] monsters destroying the city.

While the people around are desperate.The four monsters that were still approaching Chaoyue City stopped at the same pace.

Four pairs of huge animal pupils stared at the platinum figure that suddenly appeared in front of them, as if they were sizing up.

"It's still too late for you to leave, and I don't really want to fight with you. I know you can understand human language." Wu Baishuang stopped four ninth-level monsters, and began to discuss with them in a good temper.

The monsters have already awakened their intelligence when they reached level eight or nine, and they must be able to understand human speech.But no one dared to talk to them like this before, it was always their fault to let other cultivators go, so how could it be other cultivators' turn to teach them a lesson?

"Hiss——!" The leader of the nine-level bluestone python let out a roar, staring gloomyly at the human cultivator in front of it.Some other monsters don't like to eat the flesh and blood of cultivators, but the snakes especially like to devour the living.

The four monsters simultaneously expressed that they did not want to talk about peace.

Even, the fastest ninth-level wind eagle pecked at Wu Baishuang's direction first. There was only one sky-level practitioner, and they still had the power to fight.Besides, the flesh and blood of a heavenly cultivator is also a great tonic for them.

Even an idiot can see the situation of the battle. It is a joke that this human race naively hopes that they will retreat.

"Then you can't blame me." Wu Baishuang sighed, her eyes glanced at the belly of the ninth-level wind eagle, where the softest feathers are, and the feathers of low-level wind eagles are often plucked and then made into cushions. I don't know if the feathers can still be used after the wind eagle grows to the ninth level.

How could the ninth-level wind eagle know what the human race in front of him was thinking, its figure flew towards Wu Baishuang like lightning, and its sharp beak was aimed at his head.

The water spirit power in the air rushed towards the ninth-level wind eagle, making the air around it much heavier, making it hard to breathe.

Just when the eagle's beak was about to be pecked off, Wu Baishuang stretched out her hand——

In an instant, the water spiritual power pouring into the ninth-level wind eagle immediately mutated into ice spiritual power, and the biting frost froze from the sharp beak all the way to the ninth-level wind eagle's tail feathers, and it took only a breath.

Human fingers pinched the eagle's beak. Compared with the huge size of the eagle's beak, this should be an extremely slender and thin hand.

"Crack——!" There was a crisp ice-breaking sound, and the hand crushed the eagle's beak like an ice sculpture.In the ice layer, the eyeballs of the ninth-level wind eagle suddenly turned gray and lost their vitality.

This sound also awakened the other three monsters who had witnessed the sudden change.Just one face-to-face crushed the ninth-level Feng Ying to death. The origin is a cultivator of ice attribute, and his strength is at the peak of the sky-run! ! !

Without the slightest hesitation, the remaining three monsters began to flee in all directions.

"During the previous discussion, you disagreed. What are you running now? I have never eaten python meat. There are also tiger skins and lion heads. They can be sold at a good price in the market. Please be considerate, I also want to make money when I go out. The breadwinner—”

Wu Baishuang looked at the three monsters fleeing in three directions, and raised his hand to hold it in the void. A huge pattern of laws immediately appeared in the sky above Wu Baishuang. It covered an extremely wide range, including half of the sky in Moon City. See this huge ice blue law pattern.

Some cultivators are no strangers to this law pattern.

This is Wu Baishuang's self-created spiritual skill -- Frost Cold -- which Wu Baishuang realized when she broke through martial arts and was promoted to the heavenly level at the age of 16.After the spiritual skill is used, it is equivalent to half of the domain of the strong man in the holy realm, but all enemies whose cultivation base is lower than his will be turned into a layer of frosty ice.

Compared with non-target range attack spirit skills, this kind of spiritual skills that can directly target the enemy has always been extremely precious.

After the display of the spiritual skill was over, the huge law lines on the sky turned into patches of frost and snow, which fell gently.Just like the previous battles of the beast tide that Wu Baishuang took care of.

Only this time, it was no longer Wu Baishuang who was surrounded by the Wu family's guards and attendants, and Shi Shiran dragged the corpses of four ninth-level monsters to the gate of the North City alone.

People around didn't understand why he was alone, but they were shocked by the scene of Cai Cai.

"Master Wu Baishuang—!"

"Thanks to Lord Wu Baishuang——!"

"Fortunately, with Lord Wu Baishuang around, Yuecheng can survive the catastrophe."

The people who came back to their senses shouted loudly, and their excitement was hard to hide.

"But...Master Wu Baishuang, you said earlier that you had a cold poison attack, will something happen if you do it rashly this time..." the earth-level practitioner closest to Wu Baishuang asked hesitantly.

"The cold poison has broken out?" Wu Baishuang raised his brows, "Yes, can you show me my spoils?" The corpse of the monster is too big for him to fit in a space ring, so he can only temporarily entrust it to this man. cultivator.

"D-Of course...Of course!" The prefecture-level cultivator's tongue was tied up, and then he nodded excitedly.This is what Master Wu Baishuang ordered him to do, and he will naturally do it well. "Master Wu Baishuang is looking for a doctor? Doctors are on the left..."

"No, I will settle accounts with Lord Wu Baishuang."

Facing the stunned expression of that earth-level cultivator, Wu Baishuang's aura changed again——

"Boom!" There was a sound.

The rest room standing next to the city wall collapsed, revealing the figure inside.

The "Master Wu Baishuang", who was dressed in the same clothes as Wu Baishuang and who had been recuperating in the rest room since the beginning of the beast tide, was sitting on the coffee table in a stiff posture.

In front of everyone's eyes, two Wu Baishuang appeared, and for a while, the onlookers were so shocked that they forgot how to speak.

"Master Wu Baishuang, is it because of your cold poison? Are you still used to using my identity? Why didn't you come out and deal with the four monsters outside for me?"

Under Wu Baishuang's questioning one after another, the faces of the people sitting in the lounge became paler.

After Wu Baishuang finished speaking, the mask on Wu Yue's face split in two, revealing his original appearance to everyone.

"According to the family rules of the witch family, those who deceive the world and steal their names will be deprived of their surnames and exiled to the wilderness."

"At the same time, maliciously using the natal cards of the direct lineage of the Wu family to harm the direct lineage, blood relatives are killing each other, the crime deserves death."

Wu Baishuang looked at Wu Yue with downcast eyes, "Even if I don't want the position of the Patriarch of the Wu family, it won't be yours, Wu Yue. Originally, I should have killed you in a fit of anger, but seeing you like this, I don't think so." This is necessary. Compared with death, you are more afraid that you will not get any rights when you are alive. I will have you sent to the Huiwu family, and wait for the elders of the clan to deal with your crimes."

The corners of Wu Yue's lips moved, as if he had something to say.

Chu Yan, who stood aside and put a soundproof restraint on him, raised his hand and lifted the restraint.

"I am the Patriarch of the Wu family, who can convict me?! You, a dying person, have nothing to inherit the position of Patriarch. If the cold poison is not removed, you, Wu Baishuang, will not be at peace for a day."

"You are making friends with this heaven-level cultivator, and you are also interested in his fire element source? After all, as long as you get his fire element source, you can unravel your cold poison!!"

Wu Yue, who lost his face and would lose his position as Patriarch, was completely insane. He almost used his life to yell out these words. Kicked to the ground.

There was dead silence all around.

Everyone stared blankly at the accident of the Wu family.The sky was about to get dark, and the lights on the street had already been lit up spontaneously under the urging of the formation.It doesn't affect everyone's sight at all.

"If the origin of the fire element can undo my cold poison, I will kill you first." Thinking of the prescription that made him go to the villain's ending in the plot, Wu Baishuang seemed to understand why the plot was like that.

"As for the fire cultivator you mentioned—"

Wu Baishuang walked up to Chu Yan's side, paused in her words, raised her head and kissed Chu Yan's chin quickly.

"This is my fiance."
