CHAPTER 62: CHAPTER 62

"This is... a robbery... the penalty is severe..."

The cultivator looked down and saw that the one grabbing his ankle was none other than the charred Chen Muxue.

"She’s still alive!" Someone with keen eyes noticed.

Fei Ying trembled all over and quickly moved forward.

"You’re still alive? Haha, go to hell!" Since the cultivator had already started stealing, he was naturally no kind person. Seeing Chen Muxue alive, he swung his sword down directly!

Fei Ying was still halfway there and shouted loudly at the sight!

"Alright."

"Boom!"

"Did it hit again?!" Someone crouched down with their head covered.

In an instant, the terrifying Heavenly Thunder from before seemed to appear again! However, upon closer inspection, one would realize that the Heavenly Thunder was actually unleashed from Chen Muxue’s arm!

The scream of the cultivator stealing the item was not even finished and was directly drowned out by the thunderous roar!

After the blinding lightning, the figure of that cultivator turned directly into black ash, and a light touch caused it to scatter everywhere!

"Weren’t you going to die? I just cremated you." Chen Muxue got up, stretched her muscles, looked at her charred clothes and dress, and gave up trying to pat the ashes off.

Luckily, she reacted quickly and didn’t destroy her clothes; otherwise, in this era, she would really have no face to see anyone.

"It’s... so terrifying!"

Chen Muxue heard the exclamations of others and was speechless for a moment.

"Are you okay?" Chen Muxue helped Cen Lizhui stand up, feeling rather complex inside.

She couldn’t believe this mercenary merchant would help her to this extent! But with just a few encounters, what virtue or ability did she have? No, he wasn’t a mercenary merchant either; judging by the way this group of people was scrambling for the Life Fruit, it meant this thing was really good.

Chen Muxue suddenly spotted the Life Fruit on the ground and quickly picked it up. No wonder it’s a good thing; people were turned to ash, yet this Life Fruit remained unharmed!

But she seemed to have neglected something just now...

Turning around, she saw Cen Lizhui on the ground again, with a speechless expression. Chen Muxue chuckled: "Sorry, sorry, I have no experience helping people... Keep this thing safe, no idea where you pulled it from."

Cen Lizhui silently put the Life Fruit back into the storage ring and adjusted the bamboo hat on his head.

Please don’t recognize me, no one recognize me!

Because of what just happened, now no one dared to easily approach Chen Muxue. No one knew how Chen Muxue managed it, not only did she survive the terrifying Heavenly Thunder, but she also used the thunder to kill!

No one was sure if she could unleash such an attack again!

Actually, she couldn’t. Just now, it was similar to when she dealt with the thunder technique of those government officials; even without that cultivator, Chen Muxue would need to find a place to release that residual Heavenly Thunder Power.

This thing was genuinely unbearable; before she let it out just now, her whole body felt like it was soaking in peppercorn water.

Supporting Cen Lizhui and limping back to the inn, looking at the already damaged doors and windows of the inn, Chen Muxue awkwardly scratched her head: "This... shopkeeper, you calculate, I..."

"Our Liuyun Sect will compensate." Fei Ying stepped forward a few steps, looked at Chen Muxue, and suddenly a look of shock reappeared on his face.

Chen Muxue looked at him warily: "What do you want? Offering favors unprovoked, you’re either a traitor or a thief!"

Fei Ying hesitated for a moment, then said: "It’s like this, Miss Chen, our Liuyun Sect needs the Life Fruit, could you sell it to me?"

"This Life Fruit is not mine."

Even though Cen Lizhui was now weak, he still raised his eyes to look at Fei Ying: "Just a few broken houses, I’ll pay to fix them."

"Chen Muxue." He called her name unhesitatingly, for some reason, this direct address somehow lessened the barrier between them intensely, "Your Spirit Root has improved... be careful."
