Chapter 39

Wu Fan used to not believe in the concept of retribution, and whether he would believe in it in the future was still uncertain, but he now believed it, because... he must have watched too many sadomasochistic action scenes, which was why he ended up being hung from the beam, suspended in mid-air, with his arms spread wide and his legs splayed open, in a fancy spread-eagle position!!!

"Hey! You're awake!"

A small head peeked in from outside the door, followed by a fair and tender little girl walking in.

Wu Fan looked at the little girl who had ambushed him and knocked him out, and sighed deeply, saying, "Is this how your Maitreya Sect treats guests? It's really too heartless!"

"Maitreya Sect?"

The little girl blinked her eyes, somewhat puzzled.

"Yes! Maitreya Sect!"

After Wu Fan said this, he himself was stunned, staring intently at the other person's eyes, utterly shocked... [Could it be... I got the wrong person?]

The little girl blinked her eyes and said with a tsk, "I don't know or recognize those chaotic and disorderly demons. Last year, I did encounter them crossing the boundary, and I casually killed a few to establish my authority." She paused, then tilted her head to look at Wu Fan, her big eyes spinning, and said, "I just saw you acting suspiciously, carrying a box, thinking it was something important! Not bad, I really like those few knives!"

[Me? Acting suspiciously? Am I?]

Wu Fan didn't know what to say, speechless for a long time!

They stared at each other for a long time, and Wu Fan sighed, "Sis, don't mess around! Let me down, I have important things to do. If you like those knives, I'll give them to you to play with, just don't hurt anyone, and let me go!"

The little girl tilted her head from one side to the other, giggled, and said, "Don't hurt anyone? With your three-legged cat skills, you dare to remind me not to hurt anyone? Besides... do you understand the rules? Huh?" Seeing that Wu Fan was still looking at her, the little girl stretched out her somewhat rough little hand, pointed to her face, and then to her neck, and said, "You saw my face, so you must be eliminated!"

[Thieves don't leave empty-handed, bandits... don't let things go unseen...!! Damn! Did I really run into a real bandit?]

Wu Fan's eyes widened, and he didn't know how to describe his situation!

[I was clearly looking for the Maitreya Sect! How did I end up with a bandit? And this bandit is a bit too fair and tender, isn't it? Hey, hey! What are you trying to do?]

"Hehehe...!"

The little girl laughed, leaning back and forth, delighted to see Wu Fan's shocked face.

Wu Fan sighed deeply and then said loudly, "Little brother has always had poor eyesight, I didn't see anything! Sister, sister! Let me off, please? I didn't see anything!"

The little girl pouted, walked up to Wu Fan with a mischievous look, stared into Wu Fan's eyes, and said with a tsk, "If your eyes can't see anything, what use are they? I might as well help you and pluck them out!"

[Too cruel!]

"No, no, no!" Wu Fan quickly leaned back to avoid her hand, shouting, "My body and skin are gifts from my parents! No, no, no! Gold! Gold! I have a thousand taels of gold! Let me down, and it's yours immediately!"

The little girl giggled and asked, "Where is it?" Without waiting for Wu Fan to answer, she patted his knee and said, "A man's knee is worth a thousand taels...? Is your knee worth that much? Don't joke! I've heard this line three years ago and I'm sick of it! You, just confess, and I'll send you on your way!"

Wu Fan was utterly frustrated!

[What to do? What to do? Even if 'dying before success' is a tragic hero's fate, it's not supposed to be like this!]

"Girl! What are you doing? Ah?"

A stern reprimand suddenly came from outside the room, and a man walked in. This man was eight feet tall, with a fair face and a long beard, a prominent nose, and a remarkable presence. As soon as he entered the room, he glared at the little girl with a very stern look. Of course, he didn't forget to let Wu Fan down from the air, and his attitude was very polite, making Wu Fan feel dizzy.

The little girl pouted, gave Wu Fan a look that said he was lucky, and then smiled innocently like a little sister.

The man bowed to Wu Fan and said, "I am Zhai Rang of Wagon Fort! Greetings!"

"Who?"

Wu Fan was stunned.

The name Zhai Rang might not be very familiar to Wu Fan, but Wagon Fort was well-known and famous. Putting the two together, Wu Fan couldn't help but think wildly, after all, the "Great Villain Cultivation System" said this was a chaotic parallel space, but it was really too chaotic! An Lushan in the west, and now Zhai Rang here? They're not from the same time period at all!

Zhai Rang was also a bit confused and repeated, "I am Zhai Rang of Wagon Fort! Greetings!"

Wu Fan, not caring about his wild thoughts, quickly bowed and replied, "I am..."

Before he could finish, he was interrupted.

The little girl pouted and said, "Wu Fan! If it weren't for that big bear insisting that I and Big Brother save you, who would bother with you? You look so dirty! Your eyes are full of lust! Big Brother! Let's just flay him to save trouble in the future..."

"Shut up! How do you talk?" Zhai Rang glared at the little girl and apologized, "This is my younger sister, Zhai Lingling. I've raised her since she was young, and her temper... is not very good, and she's used to acting recklessly. Brother Wu, please don't take it to heart! She's still a child, please be lenient, please be lenient! Also, Brother Hu Che'er is in the back yard, please come and talk with him!"

As he gestured for Wu Fan to walk, Zhai Rang looked at the little girl with displeasure and instructed, "Go and keep an eye on those people, don't let anything go wrong. And the clothes you're wearing are for servants. Find better ones! Don't be so embarrassing!"

Zhai Lingling pouted and said, "This one fits me! The others are loose and too big!"

Zhai Rang, full of disappointment, scolded, "Can't you pack the silk clothes and take them back? Sell them for money to buy new ones, or have them altered to fit better? How did Big Brother teach you? How can you be so foolish! If you don't know how to be frugal, how can the camp grow and develop? Remember Big Brother's words, waste is a crime!"

Wu Fan: "...", frugal... bandits? Outlaws? Highwaymen?

Turning around, Zhai Rang smiled and gestured for the dazed Wu Fan to go first, saying, "Brother Wu, please."

Wu Fan swallowed, feeling that this man was really strange. He started off polite, became rough and bold when scolding Zhai Lingling, and then turned polite again! Especially, he didn't seem awkward, not like someone who is essentially very rough trying to act refined. He seamlessly switched between the two different styles and personalities, with no sense of contradiction!

"Please!"

After a moment of politeness, Wu Fan finally felt relieved and walked out the door, at least... his life was saved.

After walking for a while, Wu Fan indeed saw the burly man Hu Che'er, who had a big bump on his forehead from being hit by his wife and was running away in a huff.
