Chapter 864 457: Young Hero Duan, Jade Girl Ziyu, We Adore the Two of You!
Now giving them such a task is undoubtedly the best opportunity to escape.
Duan Yun said, "It doesn't matter, at least the two of them have been influenced by my Boundless Heroic Qi for so long. Even if they escape, they shouldn't commit evil deeds."
"Of course, if they do commit evil, then naturally they must be pursued and punished, no matter how far."
Duan Yun's tone was relaxed because he was very confident.
He was confident that the two wouldn't run away, even if they did, they would become good people or even female knights, after all, in his understanding, he had already filled them with heroic spirit.
As long as they are good people and female knights, it doesn't matter whether they are under his control or not.
For him, the Heroic Land is still too narrow. Once he finishes the matters at hand, he intends to deeply infuse heroic spirit into the entire Yun State.
If everyone in this world were heroes, then where in the world wouldn't be a Heroic Land?
....
In the morning, Duan Yun was studying the map he got from Wei Wuxing's belly.
This map detailed various tombs, and according to Wei Wuxing, these numerous tombs were just the tip of the iceberg underground, indicating the considerable scale of the "Underground Martial World."
According to Duan Yun's understanding, the Source Palace Noble he killed earlier should also be considered part of the Underground Martial World.
Because they are secretive, unknown to the world, yet possess the power to change the Martial Arts realm.
Wei Wuxing's map specifically mentioned a person — "Ghost Mother."
In fact, Ghost Mother should be called "Ghost Mother Yinjie." Ghost Mother Yinjie's unmatched martial arts skills all came from underground. Unlike Wei Wuxing, who learned from various tomb raids, Ghost Mother Yinjie had deeper ties with the underground.
According to Wei Wuxing's description, Ghost Mother Yinjie was once just a prostitute from a brothel, and not a particularly attractive one, the lowest of the low. By some stroke of fate, she went underground and found a river.
Wei Wuxing wasn't sure what the river was; he could only refer to it as the "Netherworld." After going to that river, the ordinary prostitute mastered unparalleled martial arts and became the fearsome "Ghost Mother Yinjie" of the Martial World.
Wei Wuxing had communicated with Ghost Mother Yinjie during his tomb raiding adventures.
According to his description, Ghost Mother Yinjie was terrifying, at least in his understanding, and the map contained a chilling note: "I still can't figure out whether she is still human."
Both Wei Wuxing and Ghost Mother Yinjie became powerful through this underground Martial World, but they should still be human. However, Wei Wuxing's description of Ghost Mother Yinjie was quite horrifying.
Duan Yun couldn't help but recall his own past experiences.
He had once, on such a morning, been in an outhouse at the Mountain Villa, and encountered a woman peeping.
The woman was wearing a green dress, holding a basket, and asked if he intended to violate her. Naturally, he refused.
Unexpectedly, the woman was outraged, and the basket in her hand was as cutting as a Blood Dripper, but she was still no match for him.
Eventually, the woman's dress descended like an abyss, attempting to swallow him, but he fiercely attacked her using the Breaking Body Sword Qi Column.
The woman claimed to be under Ghost Mother's command at that time, and now that he thought about it, she indeed didn't seem quite human.
Especially the things beneath her dress, he still couldn't figure out the structure to this day.
Wei Wuxing's map reminded Duan Yun of this incident, leading him to think of another matter.
Back then, after the woman in the green dress claimed to be under Ghost Mother's command, he wrote in his little notebook that he had to kill Ghost Mother and her entire family, yet he ended up getting so caught up in other things that he actually forgot about it.
Alright, alright!
I remembered it all!
Ghost Mother Yinjie, with her mysterious comings and goings, had equally elusive followers, but Wei Wuxing was clearly interested in her and her river, so he had done some research, discovering two of her lairs.
Duan Yun flipped through his little notebook filled with names, summarizing.
Although many names had been crossed out, there were still quite a few left, and he was determined not to miss a single one.
Thus, Duan Yun decided that the most pressing matter was to kill Thunder God and Mother first, then find Ghost Mother Yinjie and her entire family.
This had to be expedited; if it weren't for Wei Wuxing's map reminding him, he would have almost forgotten about this enemy, allowing them to escape justice.
Such a thing, Young Hero Duan would never allow!
At this moment, Duan Yun was filled with fighting spirit.
Yes, he had been slack recently; whether it was killing Wei Wuxing or dealing with a group of cowards, they had all come to him, and he hadn't taken the initiative to attack.
To those unaware, it might seem like Duan Yun had given up, only knowing how to be in Heroic Land and engage in group fights.
Duan Yun decided that once the river project was completed, he would start going out, making the names in the little notebook complete, letting the entire Martial World experience pain!
...
It must be said, Ziyu fully demonstrated her hydraulic talent in this river excavation project.
During the Spring Equinox, this canal was already completed.
"Open the gates!"
"Release the water!"
With Ziyu waving and shouting, the first sluice gate slowly opened, and the vast lake water flowed into the dug-out canal.
On this day, Wangchun City was decorated with lanterns and streamers, and cheers filled the air.
Last year, during the New Year, most people here were living good lives, so the festivities were unprecedentedly lively, truly a time when no bones lay frozen on the road and every household had meat.
But at this moment, when lake water started flowing through the canal, the entire city was more lively and jubilant than during the New Year.
Groups of people chased the water, running and cheering, and as they ran, some women even took off their clothes and waved their pants, shouting, "Young Hero Duan, Purple Jade Female Knight, we admire you two as a couple!"
Duan Yun was surprised, "Where did these people come from?"
Ziyu was puzzled, "They should be farmers, right?"
"Are all farmers this wild?" Duan Yun was surprised.
Duan Yun did not realize how significant this event was for people who had farmed for so long.
Even in a fertile place like Wangchun City, farmers fought to the death for half an acre of water, even losing their lives wasn't uncommon.
Because that half an acre of water was life or death for the farmers, what was given to them before was truly insufficient.
And now, not having to pay grain allowed them to live well, and the flow of canal water was enabling even better living conditions.
According to many farmers, it was simply like an immortal's life, something they didn't dare to imagine before but could now truly dream of.
That's why so many people chased the water, and why there were so many genuinely shouting, "Young Hero Duan, Purple Jade Female Knight, we admire you two as a couple!"
Hearing such words, both Feng Ling'er and Shen Ying felt a bit overwhelmed.
Honestly, the competition for the title of Jade Girl had always been between the two of them, after all, Lei Ying and Little Yin really didn't count as people, and although Tang Wanwan was scheming, she was new and had a mentor-student barrier with Duan Yun.
Ziyu, on this front, behaved quite low-key; rather, she seemed to have always been immersed in her own world, either working on the canal or brewing a new light novel.
But at this moment, when this group of rogues passionately called Ziyu and Duan Yun a couple, both Feng Ling'er and Shen Ying felt like treasures had been stolen in secret.
Do all light novel writers scheme like this, with such dirty tricks?
Clearly, seeing the canal take shape and the cheers of the masses, those deeply involved in this project were overwhelmingly happy.
Look, there on the sluice gate, Duan Yun and Ziyu were joyfully hugging each other in celebration.
From this angle, they really resemble a pair of damn lovebirds!
Feng Ling'er couldn't help but curse, "Damn it, playing dirty!"
As a result, at this time, Duan Yun and Ziyu celebrated even more enthusiastically.
One moment the man was on the woman's shoulders cheering, the next the woman was on the man's shoulders celebrating; good heavens, they were riding each other.
Yet at this moment, they seemed above reproach.
Because this success was indeed achieved by the two of them working hand in hand, even though they were practically glued together and their bodies were almost negative distance apart, it was still just their celebration.
"Don't worry, it's merely their simple way of expressing joy."
Feng Ling'er muttered as she watched the scene.
Shen Ying said with a headache, "You really don't care?"
"Why should I care?"
Feng Ling'er herself didn't notice that while she was intensely watching Duan Yun and Ziyu clapping hands in celebration, her hair was fluttering, subtly glowing green, as if she was about to go berserk.
