Chapter 197: Saving the World and Crossing the Sea of Suffering
Shi Feizhe looked at the square-faced fox whom he hadn’t seen in years with a dark expression.
Hearing the fox’s words, Feng Qingquan, who was eating grilled cold noodles next to Hu Wanqing, looked at Shi Feizhe with a peculiar gaze.
The meaning was, “So you’re that kind of person!”
“You left without saying goodbye that day, and I was worried about you for a long time!” Shi Feizhe said, looking at Little Fang.
“Sob, sob, sob, I was scared!” Hu Wanqing said while eating grilled cold noodles and sobbing.
Feng Qingquan was about to say something when he suddenly heard Skinny Horse snort. Seeing Skinny Horse’s cloudy eyes, he looked like an old horse.
He immediately understood that Master Ma was giving him a hint, meaning that there was someone they couldn’t afford to offend.
The one they couldn’t afford to offend was naturally this passerby who had suddenly appeared.
He had to be careful with his words to avoid unnecessary consequences.
This experience came from his time in Yi Province.
At that time, he had just entered the Jianghu and felt that with a great demon protecting him, he had a mentality of not taking anyone in the world seriously.
So when the Yellow Heaven Path was raiding homes in Yi Province, he felt it was time to act heroically.
Afterward, Master Ma dragged him and ran wildly for thousands of miles in the sky, chased out of Yi Province by several True Realm martial artists from the Yellow Heaven Path. They barely escaped with their lives.
After that, he brushed Master Ma’s carriage every day for a whole month.
The Jianghu could indeed make one grow.
Now, Feng Qingquan thought for a moment, organized his words, and cupped his hands, saying, “Could it be that you also know Hu Wanqing from Qingqiu?”
“Of course I know her. I even saved her life! But when she faced a powerful enemy, she took the opportunity to run away!” Shi Feizhe said.
“To repay your great kindness for saving my life, I let you poke me!” Hu Wanqing said.
“What decent person pokes a fox? But I have an idea that needs your cooperation!” Shi Feizhe grabbed the square-faced fox, who looked like a yellow dog, pinching the flesh on the back of her neck.
“Wait for me to finish eating! Wait for me to finish eating! Young Master Feng, save me! Young Master Feng, save me, I can sell my body to support you!” Hu Wanqing was eating grilled cold noodles when she was picked up. She waved her paws and hurriedly cried for help from Feng Qingquan.
Feng Qingquan still wanted to say something, but he heard the old horse snort again.
So, he said, “Since you know Hu Wanqing, you must treat her well!”
“Hmm, what value can selling one’s body have? I have a new idea!” Shi Feizhe said, grabbing the square-faced fox. “It’s time to dedicate yourself to science!”
“Dedicate? Dedicate what? Is it selling my body too?” Hu Wanqing was no longer panicked when she heard about dedication.
For the Fox Clan, matters that could be solved by selling their bodies were not a big deal.
“No, although it’s all about selling your body, it’s much nobler than selling your body.” Shi Feizhe grabbed the square-faced fox, nodded at Feng Qingquan, and said, “Don’t worry, she’ll have a good life here. You can come to Qing Shan Martial Academy to see her in a few days.”
After saying that, he took Hu Wanqing and left.
After he left and was out of sight, Feng Qingquan asked Skinny Horse, “Master Ma, what’s the background of that person? He doesn’t seem to have much cultivation!”
Skinny Horse gave him a look as if he was an idiot and said, “That one is very scary! Even scarier than the Mountain Lord!”
The Mountain Lord was a tiger demon near the Human-Demon World family. His age and cultivation were unknown, but it was known that he was very scary.
Other demons couldn’t defeat him.
“Humans are truly strange. There are idiots like you, and there are also such terrifying people! Tsk, tsk, tsk…” Skinny Horse said, shaking his head.
No, Master Ma, you’re scolding people again.

Facing Master Ma’s fiery temper, Feng Qingquan dared to be angry but didn’t dare to speak.
“That person just now was beside Grandpa, and he almost scared Grandpa’s pee out. Give Grandpa ten more catties of wine to calm his nerves!” Skinny Horse said.
“Alright, Master Ma!” Feng Qingquan replied obediently.
In the Jianghu, he had no chance to be willful.
Shi Feizhe, pinching Hu Wanqing, didn’t return to Qing Shan Martial Academy but came to a remote place in Jicheng. He stood on a four-story building, looking down at the distance from above.
There, dozens of people in blue clothes were surrounding a square courtyard with red walls.
Although such red-walled courtyards were ugly, they were cheap. They could be pulled back from the kiln factory outside the city, mixed with some cement, and used to build houses. It was much cheaper than wooden mansions and much stronger.
The walls inside the courtyard were painted white, and a strange symbol that looked like an eye was painted on them. It was a bit like Φ with three dots added, and a bit like a one-eyed monster.
He came here for this.
Since he defeated the True Realm martial artist of the Sacred Heart Cult four years ago, the entire Yangzhou had belonged to him.
He didn’t feel joy, only pressure!
Managing a single city gave him a headache, let alone a mess like Yangzhou?
He wandered around Yangzhou, and it was simply shocking and horrifying. There was no sound of chickens for thousands of miles, and the whole city was filled with only the barking of dogs.
You have to know that Yangzhou was equivalent to the size of several provinces like Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Hunan, and Fujian. It was considered a large province among the Nine Provinces!
So he suppressed the people of the Sacred Heart Cult with a strong hand, while replicating some of Jicheng’s experiences to other places, and also developing Jicheng to achieve the goal of dominating the Jianghu.
His subordinates were still a bunch of illiterates!
God knows how busy he has been these past few years!
He sometimes wished he could split himself in half, and sometimes he would ask himself, wouldn’t it be better to be a hands-off boss and enjoy the Jianghu?
This kind of day and night work intensity would make even a corporate slave cry.
But Shi Feizhe was willing because he knew he wasn’t a corporate slave working for a boss, but changing the world.
The meaning was completely different!
He would rather work to change the world until the last moment than pay a single cent to those greedy pests.
Unknowingly, several years had passed.
For the first time, he felt that time flew by.
At this time, he frowned as he watched some people in white robes suddenly come out of the house in the courtyard surrounded by constables.
There were about seven or eight of them, wearing white hooded robes with a blood-red eye-like symbol on the front and back.
“Follow Great Wisdom, save the world and cross the sea of suffering!” The leader recited a scripture, and then the people around him chanted with him, “Follow Great Wisdom, save the world and cross the sea of suffering!”
With a “hum,” it seemed that this sentence carried a peculiar magic, and an eye-like symbol appeared above their heads, emitting white light.
The holy and sacred aura made people want to kneel and worship.
“Playing tricks!” The leader of the constables was Guan Shan, who had abandoned literature for martial arts!
His cultivation had already reached the Zhoutian realm from the See the Truth realm. At this time, with a shout, a divine whip with lightning appeared in his hand, and he struck at the symbol!
As he approached the symbol, the chanting of “Follow Great Wisdom, save the world and cross the sea of suffering” kept filling his mind, wanting him to submit, to devote himself to Great Wisdom!
“Fuck you!” Guan Shan endured the discomfort and lashed out with the whip, shattering the symbol!
Constables are police officers.
