C74

The small fish boat followed the current down, brushing past the many large boats. However, its speed was much faster.

Mu Xiaoling sat on the deck and looked at the sky. They had been floating on the water for six days and it was almost noon. The sun was very bright and only at this moment did she feel a little bit of heat.

She had spent most of her time cultivating, but her speed was much faster than before. Now that she had reached the peak of level 5, as long as she could break through the barrier, she would be able to reach level 6.

Knowing that such a thing could not be rushed, she settled down to watch the river.

Today was still calm and peaceful. Occasionally, there would be fishing boats like them, but there would also be some either elegant or luxurious ships.

After watching for a while, he felt a little tired.

At this moment, Mu Xiaoling noticed the strange appearance of a large ship on the water.

The boat was even larger than the most luxurious ship he had ever seen. It was carved in jade and was definitely not something an ordinary family could afford.

However, such a large ship was currently resting alone on the river. There was not a single person on the deck, making it seem extremely quiet.

That doesn't seem right.

Mu Xiaoling observed more carefully before she suddenly saw a man's face sticking closely to a circular window in the cabin.

The man's eyes were filled with fear, his mouth seemed to be shouting something, then blood spilled on the window as he was dragged away.

Lin Xiangdie who had just come out screamed in fear.

"Let's go back and wait." Mu Xiaoling pushed Lin Xiangdie back into the awning and jumped onto the water's surface.

Only then did he realize that there were people on the ship, but they were all dead. Broken limbs littered the ground.

Mu Xiaoling carefully walked toward the cabin and entered it. When she saw two people walking over, she immediately flew to the top of the cabin to hide.

The two people who had come were wearing black masks and dark clothes.

One of them said, "This time we got such a big job cut off, it's pretty fat."

The other person said, "That's right. This trip will be enough for us to enjoy ourselves for a year or so."

That person suddenly whispered, "You said that the person imprisoned below is really a prince?"

Another person said, "Who cares if it's real or fake. Anyway, we still have him in our hands. Look at his delicate skin. If he were to sell it in the courtyard, he would definitely get a lot of money. Unfortunately, he's a man."

When Mu Xiaoling heard this, she immediately understood that this ship had encountered a bandit.

She had overheard Lin Ze mention that the environment on both sides of the Baotu River was dangerous and it was extremely easy to hide. This caused the bandits on the river to become a disaster, moreover, these people did all sorts of evil deeds.

Since that was the case, there was no need to show mercy.

She quietly floated down behind the two of them, and the silver light from her dagger flashed past as she silently slashed at their necks.

Then she dragged the body into a nearby boathouse and moved on in silence until the door to the bottom floor of the junk room was guarded by two men wearing the same cloth.

Mu Xiaoling looked around and noticed that there was a small piece of metal nearby. She picked it up and threw it to the side. The two of them heard the commotion and immediately became distracted, "What happened?"

"I'll go take a look." "Come on," one of them said, and walked over to the voice.

Just as this person turned a corner, Mu Xiaoling moved and immediately wiped his neck before quietly stepping forward.

The remaining person seemed to have sensed that something was amiss. Just as he was about to take a look, he suddenly saw a figure float by. Just as he was about to shout, he felt a pain on his neck and fell to the ground dead.

This time, Mu Xiaoling didn't even bother to clean up the corpse as she opened the door to find a young man tied up and thrown onto the ground.

The man's appearance was not bad. The gem blue, wide-sleeved and brocaded gown he wore was already unbearably creased. He was handsome and elegant, and his skin was fair and tender. However, he did not have much of a choice compared to a woman.

When the man saw Mu Xiaoling, his eyes immediately lit up. "You'll have to thank me for saving me!"

Even if this person didn't say anything, Mu Xiaoling still intended to save him. After all, the water bandits were abominable, so it was easy for them to save every one of them.

She cut the rope on the man and said indifferently, "Stand up and follow behind me."

The man quickly got up. He was obviously not agile, but he still forced himself to follow behind Mu Xiaoling.

Mu Xiaoling brought him around in a circle, but other than this person on the ship, no one else could be seen.

It was at this moment that a bandit finally discovered the body of the bandit from before. His loud cries alarmed the entire ship.

When Mu Xiaoling was surrounded, there were almost a hundred of them. The leader of the bandits was a middle-aged man wearing a short beard.

When the bandit leader saw Mu Xiaoling, he was surprised for a moment before laughing out loud, "I thought some big shot touched the boat. He's actually a little girl whose teeth have yet to grow. Are you short on men?"

Someone echoed, "This little girl looks pretty decent. Why don't we capture her and make her our boss's concubine?"

The water bandit leader, however, didn't care about Mu Xiaoling's current appearance and smacked his lips. "No need, I'll give it to my brothers."

The water bandits cheered as they seemed to have confirmed Mu Xiaoling's decision.

However, the man behind Mu Xiaoling felt extremely guilty. He whispered, "You should leave. You'll definitely be able to escape by yourself. Don't worry about me."

This action slightly startled Mu Xiaoling. She never thought that this man had such a kind heart. Since this was the case, she might as well spare his life.

She turned around and hit him on the neck with her palm, knocking him out and making him lie on the ground.

The leader of the bandits was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed, "What are you doing, young lady? Can it be that you can't wait for your elder brothers to love you?"

"It's convenient to kill all of you. He's worried about me." Mu Xiaoling smiled slightly. For the time being, she had chosen not to confront Lie Ming Yun because she could not beat him and Li Xiuniang had the Devil Sect backing her, so it was inconvenient for her to attack him. But, what was there to be afraid of about this water bandit?

"Gu Xiu." In the next instant, a snow-white figure appeared beside her.

In the beginning, the bandit leader didn't think much of Mu Xiaoling and only found her words to be funny. A fourteen-year-old girl wasn't that talented, but when he saw a young man suddenly appear next to Mu Xiaoling, he knew that she wasn't someone to be trifled with.

In the next moment, Gu Xiu moved. Wherever he went, there was only a mist of blood. However, not a single drop of blood touched the surface of his snow-white robe, leaving it as white as before.

Gu Xiu's movements were very beautiful. His slender white fingertips shot out two inches long sharp fingertips. With a wave of his hand, he could kill himself.
