Chapter 30: Man Demon

tuation in Yangdi. However, a Chongjia Island can strengthen the Chongxuan family's power in the nearby islands and expand their influence.In a way, this is also an exchange of benefits in the "dividi...As night deepened, the woods grew especially dark.

A slender woman with long hair walked through the night, stepping on broken twigs and fallen leaves until she reached the large tree where two people, one fat and one thin, were hanging.

She looked up.

Moonlight filtering through the leaves revealed the eerie, featureless mask upon her face.

"Interesting" she asked, her voice soft.

The mouths of the two people on the tree were also bound with strips of cloth. The cloth was taken from their clothes.

The fat man didn't say a word.

The thin boy wailed.

“Are you tired” the woman asked again, a dangerous aura spreading.

Zheng Laosan blew lightly, and the tightly bound strip of cloth floated apart and fell.

He laughed like a child, "This is fun!"

The woman took two steps: "Big boss didn't tell you to come play."

"Well, we're not just playing around here," Zheng Laosan said with a sly smile.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Li Laosi then let out a series of odd, clicking noises.

The strip of cloth on his mouth twisted and turned, section by section, until it finally coiled into a small ball...

It landed on the ground, smashing out a deep, bottomless vertical pit.

"Yeah, yeah." he echoed.

"Who are you playing with" the woman in the faceless mask said, a hint of exasperation in her voice.

Zheng Laosan turned his head and glanced at Li Laosi, then turned back and said: "I won't tell you!"

"Is he interesting" The woman seemed to ignore his refusal, her whole body slowly rising, her head level with the hanging Li Lao Si's. She gazed into his eyes.

This is an example of how to translate text within HTML tags. The content between the tags will be translated, while the tags themselves remain unchanged. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Li Laosi took a step back, looking to Zheng Laosan for help: "Third Brother"

Zheng Laosan closed his eyes. He pretended not to see.

“Hmm” The woman’s voice was nasal.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"That makes sense," Li Lao Si quickly said.

How reasonable is that

"To argue with someone who is obviously inferior in ability."

Please note that I only translated the content within the > tags and kept the HTML tags as they were.

"That makes a lot of sense."

"Isn't that right!" Li Laosi said proudly, as if he were being praised.

"Then how could you still be hanged" the woman asked.

“Because we don't talk about reason!” Li Lao Si said with a self-righteous face, not ashamed at all.

"What's that person's strength like" the woman asked again.

“Better than trash!” Li Lao Si said with a sly grin.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

The woman obviously didn't want to play along with his joke: "Xin is the one who Lao Da personally saved. Don't always call him a useless person, don't always make fun of him."

Li Laosi chuckled, but didn't say anything. He clearly wasn't taking it to heart.

“He'll dig out your heart sooner or later!” the woman said suddenly, her voice dripping with malice.

"Ooh ooh"

Li Laosi just hung there, swinging back and forth, having a blast playing by himself.

He obviously doesn't care about this level of threat. Or perhaps, even if this threat ever came true, he wouldn't think it was that bad... or maybe even find it interesting.

"Where is that person" The woman waited silently for him to finish playing for a while before speaking again.

Li Laosì stopped the strange swing and stopped smiling. He looked straight at the woman: "San Ge said not to tell you."

The woman giggled, "Hearing you say it like that makes me..."

Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!

She reached out and gently pressed against her own faceless mask: “I have a sudden urge to remove it.”

A barely audible sound, one might even wonder if it had ever occurred at all.

Just as that soft sound echoed, Lao San had already broken free from his bonds and stood face-to-face before the woman. The gleaming steel blade in his hand was somehow back where it belonged.

“That’s my toy, you can’t play with it.” He said seriously.

His eyes were persistent and innocent, like a stubborn child, but they also held the coldness and sharpness of a steel blade in his hand.

His massive figure exerted an immense sense of pressure on people.

Li Lao Si's blue vines were like spiritual snakes, slithering around his body at this time. He turned in a circle and lightly stood behind Zheng Lao San.

"Third Brother," he began, "I don't really feel like cutting her up. I have two reasons for this. First, she's too skinny, there's hardly any meat on her. Second, that old man, we can't beat him."

"Lao Si, you make sense." Zheng Lao San said.

“I’m a reasonable person, you know.” Lao Si said with a smug grin.

Zheng Lao San still looked at the woman wearing the faceless mask, without turning back: "But think about it, wouldn't it be fun if we let the old man chase us"

"Hey!" Li Laosi's eyes lit up. He seemed interested.

“Fine.” The woman lowered her hand from beside the mask, choosing to compromise. “I know you want to play with me, I won’t touch it.”

Zheng Lao San still hadn't put down his steel knife: "You just said you wanted to reveal your face."

The woman crossed her arms and said, "I don't feel like it now! Is that a problem"

Zheng Laosan's eyes were stubborn: "No."

"Once words are spoken, it's like a chariot that cannot be stopped. One word can change everything, a single spit of saliva can hold the weight of a nail, and promises must always be kept, worth a thousand gold coins." Lao Si chimed in, but his words weren't very coherent. He had to think long and hard before uttering a sentence, speaking in fits and starts.

“...” The woman decided to concede, pulling a gold ingot from the storage box. “I apologize, I’ll pay you.”

Zheng Lao San pocketed the gold and finally smiled, "Alright!"

"Third brother, third brother." Li Lao Si looked at him eagerly: "This is what we're getting paid."

>

Zheng Laosan waved his hand dismissively: "Don't worry, Third Brother won't mistreat you."

"Idiot!" the woman couldn't help but exclaim.

“You scolded us!” Zheng Lao San immediately looked at her with a serious expression.

>

The woman had no choice but to take out her gold again.

As someone of her power, gold and silver held no real value for her. The reason she still carried so much on her person was simply because these two little troublemakers were constantly demanding payment or threatening to kill her. It's just not safe to be without some silver on you in a situation like this.

"Now, about business. How's everything going with your big project" The woman pulled out her money and said grumpily, "The boss says you guys are too much of a bunch of slackers, so he sent me to help you."

Zheng Lao San was very dissatisfied: "When he came here, he said, 'This time, I believe we can do a good job.'"

Li Lao Si chimed in, "That's right!"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"After all, it's our own business," Zheng Lao San said.

Li Lao Si went on to say: "It's very important."

After that, they both stared at the woman together, trying to intimidate her into giving an explanation.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The woman tilted her head slightly and thought for a moment: "Maybe he just forgot."

The reason seemed absurd, but both Lao San Zheng and Lao Si Li accepted it without any hesitation.

That makes perfect sense!

“Alright,” Zheng Lao San said. “We’re watching the situation.”

Li Lao Si continued, "The progress is very smooth."

"Then that's good…" The woman said softly.

At this time, Jiang Wang, who was guarding outside the Wei Ning Mansion, did not know that he had unwittingly provoked someone. He didn't realize that the two guys he had casually hung on a tree were what kind of terrifying beings. Nor did he know that a sudden killing intent quietly disappeared without a trace.

This world is so dangerous, no one can be sure of safety.

He just quietly guarded himself, never relaxing for a moment to explore his inner self while waiting for Feng Ming's arrival.

It is long past midnight, and dawn has not yet arrived.
