I Can Use Myriad Divine Abilities-Chapter 135: Intercept and Eliminate

Sincerity is always the ultimate skill.

Anyone could tell that Zhang Yuan wasn’t joking; he genuinely wanted to take Liu Seventh Lady as his sister.

Liu Seventh Lady was no exception.

But she didn’t respond to Zhang Yuan.

She just touched her face.

It was this ugly face that had made Liu Seventh Lady suffer years of discrimination and cold stares from others.

And Zhang Yuan’s words stirred a difficult-to-describe sourness in her heart.

And warmth.

After a moment, she softly said, "My name is Liu Qiqi, the name given to me by my master."

"Sister Qiqi!"

At this moment, the group of children from earlier came running back.

And there were a few more with them.

Each child held a chipped porcelain or wooden bowl, eagerly stretching it toward Liu Seventh Lady.

"Don’t rush, one at a time!"

Liu Seventh Lady deliberately put on a stern face and had the children line up.

Then she ladled porridge from the crock for them.

Luckily, Zhang Yuan had cooked a large batch of porridge; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been enough.

The children who got their porridge sat happily on the ground nearby and hastily drank from their bowls.

Only to end up scalded and shouting in surprise.

Liu Seventh Lady frowned, "Blow on it first and drink slowly!"

Zhang Yuan watched her, distributing porridge while chattering, her expression serious yet her eyes gentle.

Gone was the ferocious ruthlessness of when she fought.

More like a strict but loving older sister to her younger siblings.

Zhang Yuan thought that the reason Liu Seventh Lady liked these orphaned children,

besides her inherently kind nature,

was mainly that the children she took care of wouldn’t be disgusted or afraid of her appearance.

Willing to be close to her!

Just now, with the experience of two lifetimes, Zhang Yuan inadvertently glimpsed the sensitive and vulnerable heart beneath.

So he didn’t treat his words as a joke.

Otherwise, it would surely hurt this sister!

Many times, the damage to the heart far exceeds that to the body.

He watched Liu Seventh Lady finish distributing the porridge and give each child some copper coins.

This made the children ecstatic, continuously calling her "Sister Qiqi!"

After sending off these beggar children,

Liu Seventh Lady specifically explained to Zhang Yuan: "I dare not give them too much money, or it will get stolen."

Zhang Yuan nodded in understanding and said, "There are many such children, you can’t take care of everyone, sometimes you still have to take care of yourself first."

Liu Seventh Lady dressed very plainly, even her weapons seemed quite shabby.

Which showed how poor her usual life was.

"I understand."

Liu Seventh Lady said, feeling a bit lost, "I can’t always take care of them; they have to fend for themselves in the future."

She apologized, "I’m sorry, I gave away all the porridge."

"It’s okay."

Zhang Yuan waved his hand, "I can just cook another pot."

When the second pot of porridge was done cooking and the two had finished it, the night was already deep.

Zhang Yuan and Liu Seventh Lady went to rest in their respective tents.

The long night quietly passed.

Come dawn the next day, they packed their belongings and set off together for Nanxun Prefecture.

Liu Seventh Lady put on a cloak and also veiled her face.

Resuming an aura that kept strangers at a distance.

But Zhang Yuan clearly felt that she was much closer to him.

This feeling was subtle.

Implied but indescribable!

Interestingly, on this journey, it was always Liu Seventh Lady, who was familiar with the terrain, leading the way.

Yet she always avoided the wide and convenient official roads, taking side paths instead, resulting in a circuitous route.

Behaving like a poor guide!

Zhang Yuan couldn’t help but feel strange, holding back from asking the reason.

But he soon found out the answer!

On a secluded path, Liu Seventh Lady and Zhang Yuan were riding horses, one behind the other.

Suddenly, there were three riders ahead.

The opposite party was also dressed as wandering heroes, looking travel-worn.

The two sides quickly approached, about to pass by each other.

Liu Seventh Lady suddenly shouted sharply, "Yang Shen, surrender now!"

One of the samurai on the opposite side shuddered at the sound, his eyes flashing with ferocity.

Clang!

Without hesitation, he drew his long blade, slashing toward Liu Seventh Lady, "Die!"

However, Liu Seventh Lady’s reaction was faster, instantly throwing several shining darts!

"Ah!"

Being too close, with Liu Seventh Lady’s sudden attack, the martial artist couldn’t dodge and was hit in the neck and chest, screaming and falling from his horse.

The other two knights were shocked and instinctively wanted to help their companion.

Just as they turned around, a flash of bright knife light came at them with unparalleled ferocity!

The one wielding the blade was Zhang Yuan.

Although Liu Seventh Lady hadn’t informed him in advance, he was as unprepared as the three knights.

Yet Zhang Yuan’s reaction was not slow at all.

At the moment Liu Seventh Lady launched her attack, he instinctively empowered himself with the Jade Mantis’ extraordinary abilities.

He swung the blade to intercept and kill the nearest knight.

This knight wasn’t weak, but facing Zhang Yuan’s hurried strike, he felt as though he fell into an ice cave, engulfed by the shadow of death in an instant.

Thud!

The next moment, a fine head flew high into the sky!

The last remaining knight, being a bit further away, temporarily escaped this calamity.

The tragic fate of his two companions made him lose all courage to fight.

"Hyah!"

The knight vigorously clamped his legs against the horse’s belly, attempting to flee at high speed.

Then a large sword came whistling from behind, mercilessly piercing through his body!

In the blink of an eye, the three martial artists fell into the dust.

Dead with unfulfilled wishes!

Neigh～

Liu Seventh Lady reined in her horse, dismounted swiftly.

She strode to the martial artist she’d killed with darts, pulled out a stack of bounty notices from her breast, and quickly paged through them, soon pulling one out for comparison.

This formidable woman smiled, "One hundred taels!"

By now, Zhang Yuan fully understood and couldn’t help but smile wryly, "Sister Seventh, aren’t you afraid of getting it wrong?"

Liu Seventh Lady removed her hood, proudly saying, "I’ve never missed with this trick before, earlier he looked familiar, so I tried a word, and he exposed himself!"

She handed the notice to Zhang Yuan, "Look if it matches."

Zhang Yuan took it and glanced.

This bounty notice was for a brutal criminal named Yang Shen, notorious for his heinous crimes of robbery and murder!

The bounty was issued by the Guangping County Government Office, with a reward of one hundred taels of silver.

It’s not that high a price!

Zhang Yuan thought to himself, simultaneously comparing the portrait.

Indeed, it was a very close match.

Liu Seventh Lady’s eyesight was quite impressive, recognizing him with just a quick glance.

Then she had tricked him into revealing himself.

Consequently, Yang Shen, guilty and uneasy, exploded in violence, affirming his identity.

"Rest assured."

Liu Seventh Lady added, "I’m good at judging people, and I can tell at a glance who’s bad and who’s good!"

"I’ll go check the other two, maybe they’re on the list too."
