Chapter 90: The Village Chief
Xiaoyue and the others were with the Empress, so it was impossible for them to take these people away.
All we can do is try to persuade them to abandon their bandit identity and stop engaging in this highway robbery.
Just as Xiaoyue was trying to persuade Cheng Peng and the others, a sweet and charming voice suddenly came from behind.
"Hey, who hit my brother? Little Blackie, come tell me who bullied you, and I'll teach them a lesson for you."
Xiaoyue and her group were all surprised when they heard the voice. Afu said, "She's actually a female bandit?"
When Cheng Peng heard what Afu said, he felt too embarrassed and said with a slightly red face, "She is our chief chief, much more powerful than me."
As soon as the words were spoken, a woman slowly floated down from a tall tree in the distance to the ground, a whip in her hand, and walked gracefully toward them.
The girl was about seventeen or eighteen years old. Her long hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall. It was jet black and shiny, and swayed gently in the wind, adding to her liveliness and elegance. Her long black hair danced in the wind.
She wore a crown woven from silver threads on her head, had an oval face, and a pair of clear, bright eyes that shone like pure, clear water.
She had a high nose bridge, rosy lips, and a slight upturn at the corners of her mouth, creating a calm yet captivating smile.
Her attire was simple yet heroic; the red chivalrous outfit accentuated her graceful figure, making her resemble a flower blooming proudly in the wind and rain.
Her clothes were very elegant, making her seem like a young lady from an official's family.
Everyone stared at her in amazement, never expecting that there was such a beautiful and charming girl among the bandits.
The people from the Illusionary Spirit Garden were not surprised by her beauty, but instead stared at the whip in her hand, and immediately drew their own weapons.
Everyone could sense that she possessed inner strength. If she weren't a master, who would carry such a crystal-clear silver whip?
The big, dark-skinned Cheng Peng seemed quite concerned about the little girl, and hurriedly said something when he saw her arrive.
"Sister Chief, I made a bet with them and accidentally lost it. I apologize to you."
I thought I could no longer protect you, so please take good care of yourself.
Or you could come with me. I think this young man... uh... this guy seems alright. He didn't kill me just now. I think the young lady and he are quite a good match."
Cheng Peng pointed at Xiao Lie and said to the chief, "He's got nothing better to do. He hasn't even resolved his own loss to someone else, and he's already worrying about others, and he's worrying about nothing at all."
Upon hearing Cheng Peng's words, the chieftain's face instantly turned red. Not only her, but even Xiao Lie, who was caught in the crossfire, blushed as bright as a red apple.
The little girl was so angry at Cheng Peng's words that she cursed him: "Hei Zi! Cheng Peng! You muddle-headed big black guy, what nonsense are you spouting?"
"You, you, you, you get out of the way! Let me teach this big bad guy a lesson!"
When Xiao Lie heard the girl say that, he retorted, "Hey, I'm telling you, why are you slandering people without even knowing the facts?"
"And where did I bully him? He lost the bet with us himself. Besides, you're such a young girl, why would you want to be a bandit?"
Before Xiao Lie could finish speaking, he heard the four spirit stars, Qin, Qi, Shu, and Hua, shout, "Be careful!"
Before Xiao Lie could react, the whip in the little girl's hand flew out. Even though there was only one whip, it looked like there were nine whips.
The four spirit stars tried to seize the position, but the woman was not skilled in martial arts, and the four could only fight her to a draw.
In that instant, the phantom of the whip changed from nine to one, flying towards Xiao Lie like a dragon.
The moment the whip touched Xiao Lie, it rapidly wrapped around his body, and before Xiao Lie could even register what was happening, he was in front of the little girl.
Everyone else stared blankly at what had just happened.
The little girl giggled: "How about that? You've tasted my power now. If I don't want to untie you, you'll never be able to move again."
Just as the little girl was happily laughing at Xiao Lie, a handsome man suddenly appeared beside her. With a slight movement of his hand, the man snatched the whip from her.
He withdrew the whip from Xiao Lie's body and turned to tie it to the little girl, who was suddenly knocked to the ground.
The little girl kicked her legs and backed away, shouting in alarm, "You, you, you don't come any closer!"
Although Cheng Peng didn't know how the man appeared, he knew that this handsome man must be highly skilled in martial arts. Seeing his chieftain so frightened, he couldn't help but plead for mercy.
"Hey, sir... uh... young man, could you spare my chief's sister? My chief's sister isn't a bad person."
Seeing the little girl's discomfiture, Xiao Lie chimed in, "Weren't you so smug just now? How does it feel now?"
Upon hearing his words, the little girl pouted, her eyes instantly reddened, and tears streamed down her face like a burst dam.
Then, without warning, she burst into tears, her cries so heart-wrenching that they moved everyone present.
"Waaaaah...waaaah...you two grown men, how dare you gang up on a defenseless little girl like me."
Waaah... What's so great about you? Father, Mother, why did you so heartlessly abandon me?
Waaah... What deep-seated hatred does that despicable Poisonous Yin Cult have for our family that it has to kill our entire family?
Father, Mother, you've left me like this, leaving me all alone in this world. How can I go on living? Waaah…
The little girl's sudden outburst of tears truly took everyone present by surprise.
For a moment, everyone looked at each other, unsure of how to react.
The Spirit King stared calmly at the little girl crying her eyes out, while Xiao Lie turned her gaze to the Spirit King, seemingly wanting some instructions from him.
As for the others, they all looked at each other, their eyes filled with doubt and surprise.
However, the little girl did not stop crying because of everyone's reaction, and continued to mutter to herself.
"Waaah... I finally managed to escape, but I don't even have a place to stay. I had no choice but to come here and become a robber to make a living. Waaah... Waaah..."
At this moment, Xiao Lie saw this and quietly moved to the side of the big black man Cheng Peng, and asked in a low voice.
"Hey, big guy, isn't she your chieftain? Why is she crying and making such a fuss after losing?"
Cheng Peng looked embarrassed and responded to Xiao Lie with a troubled expression.
"This chieftain only came to our mountain stronghold a year ago."
Back then, we had more than twenty brothers in our mountain stronghold.
Including me, there wasn't a single one who could defeat the chieftain.
In the end, having no other choice and being less skilled, we had to elect her as the chief!
He swallowed hard and continued, "Moreover, the chieftain has given an order that from now on we must all call her Big Sister."
If anyone dares to disobey her orders, hehe, she can easily tie us up with a flick of her whip.
Then you're suspended like a swing all day long; that feeling is truly unpleasant.
At this point, Cheng Peng couldn't help but shrink his neck, as if recalling the painful experience of being whipped.
But soon his expression softened, and he continued, "However, the chieftain is actually a very kind person."
She forbade us from killing innocent people indiscriminately, only requiring us to rob half of the property of passersby.
Not only that, after we got their valuables, we were also responsible for escorting them for a short distance.
Those with profound inner strength among the crowd could clearly hear every word Cheng Peng said, and thus everyone heard every single word he uttered.
Just then, the Spirit King slowly put away the whip in his hand, leaned down slightly, and spoke softly to the crying little girl.
"Young lady, stop crying and get up quickly. I just heard you say that your whole family was harmed by the Poisonous Yin Cult. What exactly happened? Tell me in detail."
Seeing that the King of Spirit had withdrawn his whip and was so concerned about her, the little girl cried even harder: "Waaah...waaah...waaah..." but she secretly glanced at the King of Spirit out of the corner of her eye.
