Chapter 153: Chapter 105: Three Realms Village! This Person Has Yin Energy! (Please Subscribe)_3

However, from the disdainful expression on his face, it was clear that his relationship with the Village Chief of Three Realms Village might not be very good. Of course, it was also possible that he simply found this kind of thing distasteful.

"Trading in living people?" Yun Jiuqing’s eyes widened, "Isn’t that explicitly forbidden by the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty?"

The man gave Yun Jiuqing a strange look.

As if wondering why a young master from a wealthy family wouldn’t know about such things.

The man spoke, "Although this place is not far from Nanjun Prefecture, it still counts as a remote and impoverished area. Some so-called laws just can’t govern us here!"

Yun Jiuqing found it hard to accept, "You know that the woman is being forced to marry a living corpse, why does no one step in to save her?"

The man was taken aback and looked at Yun Jiuqing as if he was looking at a foolish young master from a wealthy family.

He rolled his eyes and said, "That’s the Village Chief of a whole village we’re talking about. Do you think just because you don’t like him or this kind of thing, you can just step in? If I tried to save that girl, maybe not just her, but I also might end up dead that very night!"

"A bunch of strange people."

The farmer lost his patience with Yun Jiuqing because he thought this "young master from a wealthy family" must be dim-witted.

He hoisted a hoe on his shoulder, cursing as he walked toward a field.

"Damn it all!"

"If I find out who’s been carving words on the village stele again, I’ll hang him from a tree! And I won’t let him down until he’s been hanging there for a day and a night!"

"..."

Watching the farmer’s retreating figure, Yun Jiuqing muttered to himself, "The world should not be like this..."

"Amitabha." Monk Zhi Kong said, "There are as many impurities in the world as there are hairs on an ox, which is why the Buddha instructs us, disciples of the Buddhist Sect, to sweep away all filth under heaven."

Monk Zhi Kong, whose experience clearly exceeded that of Yun Jiuqing, felt it was his first time encountering such a matter.

Yet he did not find it strange.

Who knows?

At this very moment in the vast Great Zhou Dynasty, several other places might be experiencing the exact same thing!

Alas!

"Amitabha!" Thinking of this, Monk Zhi Kong sighed inwardly and chanted a Buddhist mantra.

...

Upon entering Three Realms Village.

Fan Wu and his companions, as expected, attracted the gaze of many villagers. Some village children stealthily watched them from a distance, but when Fan Wu suddenly turned his head toward them, they scattered in fright with screams.

Yun Jiuqing, preoccupied with heavy thoughts, stopped a villager. She tried to shake off the random thoughts invading her mind.

Then she asked, "Sister, may I inquire if there is a place in Three Realms Village where one can trade goods? We wish to buy some provisions for the road and some clothes to change into."

The middle-aged woman she stopped was immediately delighted, her face expressing joy, "Oh my! What a sweet-talking young lady you are."

"Ah?" Yun Jiuqing was taken aback, "You... you can tell I’m a woman?"

The middle-aged woman replied, "With your chest so tightly wrapped yet still so prominent, anyone who’s been intimate with a woman could tell!"

Yun Jiuqing blushed with embarrassment; she had thought only Daoist Priest Fan could see through her disguise. Could it be that her attempt at male attire was unconvincing enough?

"If you want to buy provisions, you can go to the Village Chief; he’s opened a shop in the village."

The woman, having said this, suddenly lowered her voice. She whispered, "But I advise you not to buy from the Village Chief. He’s a greedy skinflint with a heart as black as coal. He’s swindled so many passing merchants!"

"Moreover! There have been many strange occurrences at the Village Chief’s house lately. Surely it’s because he has sown the seeds of wickedness and now he reaps what he has sown. Especially at night, nobody dares to approach his house!"

"Don’t spread this around though!"

"I know, I know," Yun Jiuqing nodded like a pecking chicken, smiling in gratitude, "Thank you, sister."

"Ha! No need for thanks!"

Monk Zhi Kong frowned and said, "If we want to buy some items, it seems we can’t avoid that Village Chief of Three Realms. His reputation in Three Realms Village seems poor; how can someone so despised by the villagers hold the position of Village Chief?"

Yun Jiuqing shook her head, "Who knows..."

Then... both of their gazes landed on Fan Wu.

Among the three, Fan Wu was the decision-maker.

"Let’s check out the east side of the village," Fan Wu remarked with interest, "Let’s see what the story with this so-called Village Chief really is."

Although that’s what Fan Wu said, in reality... his main focus wasn’t on the Village Chief’s character.

His attention was on the hanged woman and the Village Chief’s son, who had only one of his three souls and seven spirits remaining.

He detected an unusual scent.

It was the scent of Free Attribute Points.

The exact location of the Three Realms Village Chief’s house would be easy to find with a simple inquiry.

Before long...

They had arrived.

"This village is so big it’s almost like a town," Yun Jiuqing said, furrowing her brows as she looked at the buildings ahead, "To construct such a large residence here, the Village Chief of Three Realms must have extorted plenty from the people."

The building in front of them resembled the mansion of a wealthy family in a county town and even had a larger footprint than some of those mansions.

Next to the mansion was a shop, presumably the one owned by the Village Chief of Three Realms.

"Hey! What are you guys sneaking around here for?" shouted a voice from behind. "Are you thieves planning to sneak in and steal?"

Yun Jiuqing turned around.

She saw a rather lean man with a sinister look approach from behind.

"Hm?!"

Without responding to the man’s yelling or his angry demeanor, Yun Jiuqing whispered a warning to Fan Wu, "Daoist Priest Fan... this man seems to be shrouded in Yin Energy!"

Fan Wu nodded; he saw the attribute information hanging above the head of this sinister man.

[Village Chief’s brother of Three Realms Village — Life: 132 — Power: 3.9 — Skill: Corpse Handling Longevity Technique]

Indeed!

His instincts were correct once again.

It seemed... there was more than meets the eye in Three Realms Village, and the Village Chief’s family.
