Chapter 1169 - 229: Fortunes with Women
"That kid? Just see for yourself. Speaking of which, his luck with the ladies seems no worse than our daughter’s," Ye Beiming said, waving his hand to gather a surge of Divine Power, creating a Mirror Sound Array before them.
In the Mirror Sound Array, a distant scene was reflected.
At the edge of a vast forest, the sounds of demon beasts were endless.
A sharp sword wind sliced through thick fur with a ripping sound.
A demon beast as large as a black bear crashed to the ground.
The intense smell of blood made one feel a bit nauseous. At this moment, a strikingly handsome face appeared.
"Five hundred and thirty-sixth one." Di Shen skillfully slit open the belly of a demon beast, extracted a Demon Core, and placed it in his storage bag.
"Thank you, my lord, for saving our entire village," the elderly village chief expressed endless gratitude.
Their village was situated next to Snow Eagle Forest, surrounded by numerous Snow Beasts, but because the village was very poor, no official demon hunter was willing to come here for demon hunting.
So the villagers pleaded with the Wuling City Lord to send someone for demon hunting.
The person sent this time was Di Shen.
This arduous and unrewarding task without Spirit Stones was naturally not assigned to the regular army by the Wuling City Lord but instead given to novices.
When Di Shen first arrived, the villagers were a bit worried because he was too young and too handsome, not looking like a demon hunter at all.
But soon, Di Shen changed everyone’s opinion.
In just a few days, he had hunted over a hundred demon beasts.
His speed was even faster than that of veteran demon hunters.
As of today, he had virtually exterminated all demon beasts nearby.
"Lord Di, your clothes are torn. This is a new outfit I made for you." Amidst some uproar, the most beautiful girl in the village walked up.
Many young girls in the village secretly admired Di Shen, and since he was always alone, they found various excuses to give him things.
Ignoring the disappointed look of the girl, Di Shen wiped his sword and walked away without paying attention.
Apart from clothes made by his wife and Fifth Senior Sister, Di Shen wouldn’t wear clothes made by any other woman.
The Wuling City Lord had once promised him that he could officially become a demon hunter if he killed a thousand demon beasts.
Di Shen walked into a tavern, filled with demon hunters, and unlike the other hunters, his novice uniform made him particularly conspicuous.
Di Shen searched for the last empty spot, and as soon as he sat down, his handsome face caught the admiring gaze of many female demon hunters nearby.
This made many male demon hunters present quite jealous.
Just then, a demon hunter walked in from outside. Seeing no spare seats in the tavern, he looked around and saw Di Shen in his novice uniform.
He walked up to Di Shen, glanced at him sideways, and tossed a Spirit Stone like giving alms to a beggar.
"Kid, I’ll give you a Spirit Stone if you give up your seat."
Di Shen didn’t even bother to look him in the eye, just continued drinking his wine, then pulled out a bag and threw it in front of the demon hunter.
"I’ll give you twenty Spirit Stones. Get lost." Just as Di Shen finished speaking, the demon hunter was instantly furious.
He kicked the table flying.
The large machete in his hand swung towards Di Shen’s top of the skull. Just then, a blur flashed before his eyes, and the person who was just sitting there had vanished.
Suddenly, he felt a chill on his back; his arms were twisted like a pretzel by someone, and he cried out as if being slaughtered.
His face was pressed hard into the ground.
His whole body’s bones crackled like popping beans.
At this moment, several demon hunters who were familiar with him wanted to help but were stopped by those nearby.
"You dare to offend him? This kid is the famously obsessed cultivator Di Shen who recently came from Wuling City. Rumor has it that his strength is no less formidable than veteran Power Demon Hunters. A few days ago, someone competed with him for a demon beast and was stripped naked, hung on the city wall. When found, he was half-dead and hasn’t recovered yet." Those who knew Di Shen advised urgently.
Di Shen had been here less than a month, yet his reputation as a little troublemaker was already spreading far and wide.
Rumor has it that wherever he goes, all demon beasts are slaughtered.
Some demon beasts are said to flee far away at the scent of Di Shen.
"Sixth Brother, you have taught him enough; just let it go."
Just then, a beautiful woman approached.
Wuyue shook her head, well acquainted with Di Shen’s tendency to act without words.
Especially lately, it has been said that Sixth Sister-in-law’s participation in the Underground Arena Competition keeps her from properly contacting Sixth Brother.
Sixth Brother seemed a bit "dissatisfied," beating people to a pulp if not satisfied, which baffled Wuyue.
"I’ll give Fifth Sister face." Di Shen said and, with a forceful twist, broke one of the male demon hunter’s hands and threw him out of the tavern.
Di Shen unceremoniously took the man’s Spiritual Artifact and storage bag.
"I have news on the matter you asked me to investigate. But do you intend to hunt down the Wanted Demon Beasts? Those are all Great Demon Level beastly demons."
Wuyue said with some concern.
"A Wanted Demon Beast, even if it’s ranked five hundredth on the wanted list, is enough to equal ten ordinary demon beasts. If it were among the top hundred, one would be worth a hundred demon beasts." Di Shen said calmly.
The Ancient Nine Provinces Continent is different from Qing Province Continent because of the existence of the Central Plains region, harboring many demon beasts.
Among them, some powerful and wicked demon beasts are compiled into a list and known as Wanted Demon Beasts.
Once these demon beasts are hunted, not only can one receive high rewards between different towns, but they can also be recorded in an individual’s Demon Hunting Manual.
Di Shen learned that Fourth Senior Brother and Huang Jun had arrived at Huangquan City, urging him to meet up with his wife sooner.
But due to Wuling City’s regulation, he must hunt a thousand demon beasts to officially become a demon hunter.
Over the past month, Di Shen has been frantically completing various tasks ordered by the Wuling City Lord, achieving demon hunting speeds that were astonishing.
Additionally, since arriving in Wuling City, Di Shen had been improving quickly in cultivation.
Killing ordinary demon beasts couldn’t further improve his strength.
Di Shen had always believed that only by constantly pushing himself to the limit could he break through, so he needed to find stronger opponents.
This is also why Di Shen asked Wuyue to help gather a list of the latest Wanted Demon Beasts.
He was now on the verge of breaking through the Six Paths of Reincarnation, a speed that left Wuyue in awe.
Di Shen examined the demon beast information provided by Wuyue, his gaze suddenly intense, focusing sharply in a certain direction.
He seemed to sense someone watching him.
