Chapter 21: This will not kill him
Xi Ma tried to grab Shopkeeper Yu's robe to pull him back, but before he was able to do so, some of the crows had already attacked him.
The crows viciously attacked the shopkeeper. This showed their desperate need to protect their food and the hostility for being disturbed during their meal.
Shopkeeper Yu was a low degree cultivator. In normal circumstances, trying to face a small group of crows would not be a problem.
Yet, aside from the clear fact that there were thousands of crows around, these crows were also from Mount Hua. The mountain for spirit beasts!Ne/w novel chaptš¯’†rs are p/u/blished on no/vel(/bin(.)c/o/m
His feeble attempt to defend himself and attack at the same time was useless.
Even Xi Ma, whose cultivation level was relatively high, was still not confident in defending against this high a number of crows.
He was also not impulsive enough to just rush alone and face thousands of crows!
Never in his wildest dreams!
Xi Ma could only helplessly look at the stupid Shopkeeper Yu who was already being attacked mercilessly by the crows. Regarding how stupid his action was, this did not seem to even register to Shopkeeper Yu's mind before. His only reason to stop the crows was to make sure his hard work in hiding the cheap walnuts would not be wasted.
His reputation, as well as his source of living, was at stake in all these walnuts. In his heart, he was just cursing the mute old beggar for not remaining silent.
That was his initial thought. However, as soon as he was attacked by the crows and realized his attempt to defend was worthless. Shopkeeper Yu was frightened and immediately begged for help.
"Help! Help!" He desperately called. However, no one was brave enough to come close.
He tried to escape, but more attacked in every direction. Each attack was brutal and savage. Every peck of the crows left a hole in his flesh and the more blood that came out from his wounds the more he was attacked!
"Someone! Anyone! Help me!" He was now desperate for rescue. "I will give anything!" He continued to shout.
Looking at the distressed Shopkeeper Yu, Xi Ma gazed at Gao Lan Mei with the intention to save the man. He did not know how to approach her about it. Though, he had a strong hunch that the reason the crows were here was related to her.
As Gao Lan Mei felt Xi Ma's gaze, she tilted her head, "Do not worry, this will not kill him." Her tone was still indifferent, but the cold glints reflected from her eyes were not hidden.
After hearing Gao Lan Mei's statement, Xi Ma's eyes widened in shock. 'It really was her who caused all this!' Her statement confirmed that she commanded the crows!
Birds might be the lowest type of beast in Mount Hua, but they were still something that could cause much damage when attacking using their numbers.
How scary would that be?
"He still needs to eat a walnut after all." She continued and ignored Xi Ma's shocked expression.
At this time, she was wondering if she could bargain Xi Ma's blood for the shopkeeper's life. Gao Lan Mei wanted to test their compatibility.
...
Not far away from the Medical Pavilion courtyard, Wei Jiayi, was watching everything that happened in the Medical Pavilion with an amused expression.
A malicious smile was present on his beautiful face. Most still would feel attracted to the smile, despite it not having any good meaning.
Only his subordinates knew that his current smile meant bad luck for anyone who caused it.
