Marry the Demon Sect Girl with No Bride Price-Chapter 217 - 22: Taoist Friend Mo, Do You Want to Marry My Husband?

Chapter 217: Chapter 22: Taoist Friend Mo, Do You Want to Marry My Husband?

"Ah! Help me!"

"These spirit corpses are too tough, they can’t be killed no matter how we try!"

"Everyone, don’t panic. Form teams of three and focus on attacking the spirit corpse’s head!"

"Alright, listen to Luo Wenzhi!"

"Damn it, Luo Wenzhi, you’re usually wailing all the time, but when danger strikes, you’re the most capable!"

The cultivators guarding around the Chang Mansion in Xingluo Town learned that spirit corpses had appeared within the Patriarch’s estate and rushed over to assist.

With over five thousand residents in Xingluo Town, half of them had gathered inside the Chang Mansion.

However, they were all loose cultivators, mostly in the mid-period of Qi cultivation. These spirit corpses had tough bodies, causing many to be injured by them.

Seeing this, Luo Wenzhi loudly commanded from there, organizing groups of three to surround the spirit corpse and attack the head, which turned out to be remarkably effective.

The spirit corpses within the Patriarch’s estate were soon eradicated, and Luo Wenzhi then led several hundred experienced cultivators outside to assist, spreading his strategies throughout the town using a sound amplification talisman.

Soon, the spirit corpses around the Chang Mansion were completely eliminated.

Qiu Zhihe removed the protective array and said calmly, "Let’s return to the inn first."

Si Minglan and Fang Xue were contaminated by the Earth Mole’s dark aura and needed immediate treatment.

By this time, Luo Wenzhi had already returned with numerous cultivators to the estate, most of whom had lost wives or daughters.

Although Chang Shengzi was already executed, their wives and daughters were still missing.

After the battle, many loose cultivators naturally followed behind Luo Wenzhi.

Although Luo Wenzhi was already at the eighth layer of Qi cultivation, not considered low among loose cultivators, he was always underrated because of his handsome appearance and habit of sticking to his wife, crying over trivial matters.

But after this fight, he had gained considerable prestige among many cultivators in Xingluo Town.

Qiu Zhihe, Mo Xiaolan, and others witnessed this scene as well. Qiu Zhihe, being the Saintess of the Cyan Lotus Sect, commanding numerous sect members, didn’t think much of it.

Mo Xiaolan, however, bit her lip, looked at Qin Gengyun, then looked down at the baby girl in her arms, lost in thought.

Luo Wenzhi had already led the cultivators to stand before them and bowed to Mo Xiaolan:

"Esteemed Taoist friend, were you also imprisoned in Chang Shengzi’s dungeon?"

Mo Xiaolan nodded, and Luo Wenzhi hurriedly asked, "Esteemed Taoist friend, did you see my wife? Her name is Yue Ying, and she was captured while pregnant, about to give birth!"

Mo Xiaolan sighed and asked, "I heard someone calling you Luo Wenzhi just now. Is that your name?"

"Yes, I am Luo Wenzhi. Esteemed Taoist friend, do you know my wife?"

Mo Xiaolan handed the baby in her arms to him, "Taoist Friend Luo, Sister Yue Ying asked me to give the child to you before she died. This is your daughter, born in the dungeon, and Sister Yue Ying named her Yulan."

Luo Wenzhi was stunned upon hearing this, lowered his head, and looked at the spirited and adorable little baby girl. He reached out tremblingly to take her.

Suddenly he raised his head, tears streaming down his face, "Did Yue Ying... suffer when she passed?"

Mo Xiaolan was silent for a moment, then smiled, "Sister Yue Ying said she had no regrets having married you and given birth to your child."

"Dear wife, Waaaah... Yulan, Yulan, my child... you look so much like your mother, waaaah!"

Luo Wenzhi held the child tightly, crying uncontrollably.

He suddenly knelt before Mo Xiaolan with the child, "Thank you, Taoist friend, for saving my wife’s and my only child!"

Mo Xiaolan suddenly pulled Qin Gengyun to her side and said to Luo Wenzhi:

"I couldn’t protect myself in the dungeon, so I dare not take credit. It was Taoist Friend Qin who killed the demonic beast and rescued the baby; you should thank him, and Xingluo Town should thank him."

"Taoist Friend Mo?" Qin Gengyun was taken aback, and Luo Wenzhi had already knelt before him:

"Thank you, Taoist Friend Qin, you are the savior of my little daughter and the benefactor of Xingluo Town. In the future, if Taoist Friend Qin has any need, Luo Wenzhi will willingly die a thousand deaths!"

"Taoist Friend Luo, actually I..."

Qin Gengyun knew very well that it was Mo Xiaolan who had protected the baby during the battle. As he was about to explain, Mo Xiaolan interrupted:

"Taoist Friend Luo, we have two friends who need urgent healing, we must leave now. If Taoist Friend Qin ever requires assistance from Xingluo Town..."

"Rest assured, Taoist Friend Mo, we cultivators of Xingluo Town are not ungrateful. In the future, if Taoist Friend Qin needs anything from us, we will not refuse!"

"Then we bid farewell!"

"I shall escort you, esteemed benefactors!"

Luo Wenzhi, holding the child, escorted Qin Gengyun and others out of the Chang Mansion, introducing Qin Gengyun to everyone along the way, saying he was the hero who defeated the demonic beast and defended Xingluo Town.

Thus, along the way, the cultivators of Xingluo Town respectfully saluted Qin Gengyun:

"Senior Qin, you have rid us of our troubles, your merit is immeasurable!"

"Thank you, Senior Qin, for your bloody battle to protect Xingluo Town!"

"Farewell, Senior Qin!"

"Farewell, Senior Qin!"

Qin Gengyun had no choice but to return each salute, while Mo Xiaolan watched him with a smile on her face.

Qiu Zhihe remained silent throughout the journey, occasionally glancing at Mo Xiaolan with a complex expression on her cold face.

Once they had exited the Chang Mansion, Qin Gengyun helplessly said to Mo Xiaolan:

"Taoist Friend Mo, when I descended into the underground, the Earth Mole was already half-dead, and you were the one risking your life to protect the baby. Why did you give all the credit to me?"

"Oh? That’s right!" Liu Su also realized, but Qiu Zhihe became even more silent.

Mo Xiaolan smiled and said, "The Zhenyang Sect oversees three cities and twelve towns. Xingluo Town is the most special, even surpassing the other two cities. The Chang Family has traditionally been the guardian, but now that the Chang Family has fallen, the Zhenyang Sect will definitely appoint a new guardian."

"Traditionally, each town’s guardian is chosen from local people. Luo Wenzhi’s heroic deeds in this battle won him the hearts of many and he has the best chance to emerge as a leader."

"If he identifies you as a benefactor, when he becomes the guardian, you will have a foothold in Xingluo Town, potentially benefiting you in the future."

"Wow! Taoist Friend Mo, you think so far ahead!" Liu Su was amazed, unable to imagine such possibilities.

Qin Gengyun was also stunned, staring fixedly at Mo Xiaolan:

"Taoist Friend Mo, you’re so thoughtful and considerate, I really don’t know how to thank you."

"Husband."

They had reached the Xingyun Inn where they were staying, and Qiu Zhihe suddenly spoke:

"Xiaoxue and Si Minglan’s injuries can’t be delayed; you and Susu should use the Mist Spirit Bathing Technique to treat them promptly."

"We have to do that again?" Liu Su’s eyes widened, almost drooling, "It’s so enjoyable!"

"Dear wife..."

Qin Gengyun hesitated, and Qiu Zhihe said:

"Go ahead, I have words to exchange with Taoist Friend Mo."

Qin Gengyun hesitated, glanced at Mo Xiaolan, then at the cold-faced Qiu Zhihe, and finally went upstairs with Liu Su, carrying the unconscious Si Minglan and Fang Xue.

"Taoist Friend Mo, follow me."

Qiu Zhihe led Mo Xiaolan to another room, invited her to sit down, and personally poured her a cup of tea.

Mo Xiaolan thanked her and asked, "Taoist Friend Qiu, what is it you wish to discuss?"

Qiu Zhihe sat with an elegant posture, her gaze on Mo Xiaolan:

"Taoist Friend Mo, do you wish to marry my husband?"
