97. If you judge a book based on appearance, you will be beaten.
There was a knock on the door of the room, and Shen Tangli sensed the aura of some cultivators. She thought of looking out the window before and wondered if she had leaked the aura at that time.
Looking back at Zhuying, Xiao Zhuying couldn't let anyone see him like this.
She directly cast a spell on her body to temporarily change her appearance back to her previous appearance.
The knocking on the door became louder and louder, alerting the people next door. Chu Yunyao came out first and said angrily: "Who are you?"
When Shen Tangli heard the noise, there must be three or four people in the group, and they were all male cultivators.
Seeing that Chu Yunyao was a female cultivator, he didn't take it seriously and said directly: "Go away, it has nothing to do with you." Then he continued to knock on the door: "Where are the people inside, come out."
It can be said that the arrogance is displayed incisively and vividly.
Shen Tangli's original idea of going out immediately disappeared, and she repeatedly used Zhuying to deepen the transformation spell. With Chu Yunyao's bad temper, these people would really mess with the wrong person if they provoked her.
"It's going to be bad luck."
After checking that there was nothing wrong with the transformation spell on Zhuying, she sat on the bed and watched the show.
"Hey, I have such a bad temper. You knocked on our companion's door and told me that it didn't matter. Are you sick?" Chu Yunyao didn't get used to it and opened her mouth to retaliate.
The faces of the three male cultivators were dull, and the spiritual power in their bodies had leaked out. It was obvious that they were demonstrating to tell Chu Yunyao not to go too far.
This leak happened to be the spark that ignited the explosive. Chu Yunyao glared and rolled up her sleeves: "Hey, let's use my spiritual power to scare your aunt. What my aunt finally hates in this life is your use of power to suppress others. She has never It's all my aunt who oppresses others, and if no one else oppresses my aunt, you're in a miserable state..."
Several people were annoyed when they saw her like this, and one of them took out the fairy rope and prepared to teach her a lesson.
As soon as the rope touched her, she immediately caught it and pulled it.
The rope that no cultivator or demon could break free from, in Chu Yunyao's hands, was like an ordinary rope, instantly broken into two sections.
"I can't tell you, you want to tie someone up?" Throwing away the rope in his hand, Chu Yunyao's smile was particularly scary.
With the sound of the fist being squeezed, several men realized what it means not to judge a book by its appearance. Chu Yunyao did not release any spiritual power. She punched her to the flesh, and no one could escape. The final destination was to be beaten by her. They were tied together with the torn fairy binding rope.
Shen Tangli just opened the door, looking like she had just woken up. She was obviously startled when she saw the appearance at the door. She covered her mouth exaggeratedly and looked at Chu Yunyao in confusion: "What's going on? ?”
"Who knows? Taking advantage of my own cultivation, I tried to bully others, but I stopped me." Chu Yunyao clapped her hands, with an obvious look of disgust.
The trio of people with bruises and swollen faces, look at me and I look at you, who is bullying others? They are obviously in the worse situation, okay?
"I fell asleep just now. Xiao Zhuying is not feeling well. I came out to see something when I heard some noise outside. Why are you knocking on my door?" Shen Tangli showed her confusion at the right time.
From the first glance, she was easier to talk to than Chu Yunyao. Even the others didn't dare to show off her arrogant face at the beginning, and her explanation was so quick.
"We captured a monster just now. We noticed that it kept looking towards you and suspected that there is danger here. Please forgive me for the rudeness just now."
"You know how to talk? Why don't you just say that?" Chu Yunyao sarcastically said.
This made several male cultivators look even more ugly, but they were inferior in skills and had no courage to say anything. They could only nod and please: "You can let us go. You just need to open the door. We won't go in either. It's just Just use your magic power to detect it."
Shen Tangli nodded, and then Chu Yunyao stepped forward and released him.
Indeed, as they said, they used magic power to detect it, but found nothing strange. They all looked at each other in confusion.
Looking at them like this, they probably still don't believe there are no monsters here, and there are faint signs of wanting to get in.
"Perhaps it's because I released some spiritual energy from my practice just now, which makes you feel wrong? But that's not right. I practice orthodoxly, so you can't feel the breath of a monster?"
Shen Tangli seemed puzzled, sighed and opened the door: "Why don't you come in again and take a closer look, but don't disturb the junior sister on my bed. She is not in good health to begin with. She practiced too hastily and made some mistakes, so we I just brought her to Haicheng, a place with outstanding people and places of outstanding people, to recover."
She paused, and there was a hint of threat: "She is at the critical moment of recovery now. If it's because you have eliminated the problem..."
Several people waved their hands quickly: "We are just checking for a while, and we will never disturb the people in the house."
The three of them entered the house.
Sure enough, there was a young girl lying on the bed. Seeing that her face was pale and vaguely in pain, she couldn't help but believe Shen Tangli's words. After turning around, she didn't find any other abnormalities. She thought it was a young girl or the one in front of her. The woman's practice released spiritual energy, which made the mermaid restless.
Mermaids' cultivation methods are inherently similar to those of humans, but they think too much.
Alas, it's all my fault that they broke in without investigating clearly and got beaten for no reason.
How embarrassing it would be to go back this time.
After leaving the room, he confessed to the two men.
Chu Yunyao snorted coldly, looking even more displeased at them. She stepped into the door and closed it directly. Then she looked at Zhuying and Shen Tangli with her usual expression: "Tangli, what's wrong with her?"
Shen Tangli briefly stated his guess and also explained the reason why the monks came to him.
"I suspect that Bamboo Shadow is related to the sea beast in Haicheng, or even the captured mermaid."
"Why are the people in Haicheng catching mermaids?" Chu Yunyao was puzzled: "I think they use spears to kill sea beasts, which is not common and ruthless, nor does it look like they show respect to sea beasts as I heard before. This is catching mermaids, and It’s for killing sea beasts, I’m afraid it’s not easy.”
She looked at the bamboo shadow and then at Shen Tangli.
In the past period of time, only this junior sister had been with her.
She also gets along well with this bamboo shadow. They are all friends, and it is not a trivial matter for friends.
I came here originally to have fun, so let’s see what else is hidden in this sea city?
"Do you know where those people who catch mermaids go?" Chu Yunyao asked.
Shen Tangli shook his head: "I don't know, but we don't know. People in this city shouldn't know it."
A double-layered barrier was set up in the room. One can notify Shen Tangli in time, and the other can protect the bamboo shadow from being attacked.
The two of them then left the inn.
Went to the place where we had grilled fish before.
There are more people today than yesterday and it is more lively.
The content they discussed was also about today's mermaid.
"The mermaid looks so handsome today, even my eight-year-old daughter looked straight at her."
Everyone drank and ate meat, talking about the mermaid's extraordinary appearance.
"Don't say it, don't say it. None of the ones I caught before can compare to today's one. That fish tail is called a silver one, and that fish ear is called a colorful one.
Colorful, that face is so beautiful that even a man would be attracted to me."
"You said that if such a mermaid could change gender for me, tsk tsk tsk..."
One sentence brought a burst of laughter: "Stop your thoughts. Do you have money? Mermaids are not something that we can covet. We don't know what the price of this mermaid will be."
auction?
Chu Yunyao, look at me and I look at you, calm down and continue listening.
"I estimate that it will only take a day or two. When the news is spread, those rich people will not run to the auction like flies seeing meat. Mermaids are such treasures..."
