"Hmph! I just found out too!" Xiang Xueer said, wiping the sweat from her forehead and glaring at him fiercely. "What are you babbling about? Hurry up and deal with her, then we can split the money—two hundred and fifty each!"
For Xiang Xueer, this was the main point. No matter the era, money was always the priority. How could one survive without it? The miserable life of a killer had ended, and the unfortunate life of an Exorcist had begun.
Li Yunyang finally reacted, his expression resembling that of a dazed child. He quickly raised the Azure Dragon Sword in his hand. The beast's tail could be dealt with now that it was tightly bound. He aimed for the Fox Demon’s head and struck.
After invoking 'Azure Dragon Slash,' the fox decisively fell to the ground. Then, a stream of black smoke gradually emerged from the Fox Demon’s body, quickly flying toward the cave entrance and disappearing into the night.
Could that black smoke just now have been the demon that possessed her? Xiang Xueer looked at the fox's corpse on the ground and reached out to untie the Serpent Whip. After struggling for a long time, it seemed she couldn't loosen it. Suddenly enlightened, she quickly extended her fingers and called out, "Release!"
The whip immediately loosened obediently, falling to the ground and returning to its original form. Hah, she didn't expect this incantation to be quite useful. She glanced sideways at Li Yunyang standing nearby, recalling how useless he had been earlier, and raised her hand to shout, "Bind!"
Immediately, the snake-like whip slithered up Li Yunyang's legs and quickly ensnared him tightly. He looked down in panic and shouted, "Hey, you Dead Girl! What are you doing? Why are you binding me?"
Xiang Xueer grinned mischievously. "Oh, nothing much. I just think this incantation is really handy, so I want to practice it a few more times!"
"Practice?" Li Yunyang's face turned red with anger. This girl actually used him as a practice target! His eyes nearly bulged out as he exclaimed, "Let me go! If you don't release me soon, I'm going to use Azure Dragon Slash on you!"
"Wow, I'm so scared!" Xiang Xueer said with a fake smile, fluttering her alluring eyes while sitting by the bed. She reached out again and said, "Release!"
"Hmph! At least you know your place!" Li Yunyang reached out to pull off the whip but was interrupted by another shout: "Bind!"
Xiang Xueer wore an expression of not having had enough fun as she sat cross-legged nearby with both hands outstretched, repeatedly chanting: "Release, bind, release, bind...!"
"Ah, Dead Girl! Are you done yet?"
"Don't rush me; let me play a little longer! Release, bind, release, bind!"
"……"
Vertical Sun Morning.
"Look, it's the Nine-Tailed Fox Demon!" The entrance of Jibei Village was crowded with townsfolk, chattering excitedly.
There stood Li Yunyang, dragging the corpse of the nine-tailed fox with one hand, and with a 'thud', he threw it on the ground. The terrifying appearance of the demon left everyone in shock. The mission was complete, and both Xiang Xueer and Li Yunyang received two hundred and fifty taels of silver each.
"Ah, it feels great to have money!" Xiang Xueer played with her silver coins, feeling pleased as she prepared to head to the Iron Shop to pick up her custom-made AK-47. It was probably ready for delivery now; she hoped they could also provide her with a compact lady's pistol!
Meanwhile, Li Yunyang looked as grim as if he had eaten bitter melon. After being 'troubled' by this Dead Girl dozens of times throughout the night, he finally understood that this girl was not a woman at all; he really should teach her a lesson.
Xiang Xueer, eager to see how her gun turned out, turned her face away from Li Yunyang and walked straight toward the Iron Shop. Li Yunyang, standing still, was just about to scold her when he turned around and realized she had already walked quite far away.
"Hey, Dead Girl, where are you running off to? Wait for me!" Li Yunyang shouted and hurried after her. The two made their way into the Iron Shop.
As soon as the owner of the Iron Shop saw Xiang Xueer, he brought out her custom order from inside. She excitedly lifted the cloth covering it, but her expression immediately darkened.
"What is this?" Looking at the long-awaited AK-47, Xiang Xueer's mouth twisted in disappointment. The craftsmanship was simply too rough. She picked it up and examined it closely; no way, this wasn’t an AK-47 at all—it looked more like a pile of scrap metal assembled into a cheap imitation.
Seeing her constipated expression, the owner clicked his tongue. "We can make sickles and axes here at our Iron Shop, but this gun you mentioned? This is all I could manage!"
"Sigh!" Xiang Xueer painfully loaded a bullet into the chamber. After inspecting it for a while, she found that at least the bullet seemed somewhat decent. With a 'bang', it appeared that the bullet had been chambered.
Although it looked shabby, as long as it worked, she aimed the gun aside and pulled the trigger several times. All she heard were loud 'bangs', but it seemed like the bullets were stuck inside; they wouldn't fire at all.
"Hmm? What is this?" Li Yunyang leaned in with his big face, squinting into the barrel with a curious expression.
Indeed, it was just a pile of scrap metal. She sighed; ancient people obviously couldn't appreciate the profoundness of modern weaponry. It was too much to ask them to make an AK-47 when they were used to crafting sickles. No wonder it turned out like this.
Moreover, she was really dizzy—there was no gunpowder in these bullets! Just having an exterior resemblance was useless; there was no possibility of using them at all. Xiang Xueer sighed deeply; perhaps they should just buy a dagger or something instead.
Li Yunyang was playing with the new gadget with great interest, snatching it up and looking down the long barrel while pulling the trigger hard. Xiang Xueer rolled her eyes beside him and said, "Hey, kid, if I were you, I wouldn't point the gun at myself!"
"What do you mean?" Li Yunyang was fully engrossed in his play when suddenly, after a few 'pops' from the gun, the cartridge fell out and landed on his foot with a 'thud', causing him to scream in pain and throw the gun to the ground. "What kind of hidden weapon is this that it attacks me on its own!"
"Pfft!" Xiang Xueer covered her mouth and chuckled. After a moment, she looked at the foolish-looking Li Yunyang and said, "In this urgent situation, I must first buy some suitable weapons!"
After saying that, Xiang Xueer headed towards the market. Without a gun, she could only choose a few suitable weapons from a sword shop. She didn't want to be defenseless against monsters along the way like an idiot. Li Yunyang quickly followed her for a couple of steps and asked, "Hey, are you buying weapons?"
"Nonsense!" She joked. "I, Xiang Xueer, have always been one to eat alone. It's my first time sharing money with someone." She shot him an annoyed glare. "I told you, Bullheaded, can you stop following me? If you're going to share the cost, you can just leave!"
Li Yunyang raised an eyebrow and snorted coldly. "You half-baked Exorcist, do you really think you can buy weapons without me by your side?"
"What do you mean by that?" Xiang Xueer stopped in her tracks and looked at him sideways with a questioning expression. "Are you saying that I can't buy this weapon without you?"
Li Yunyang rubbed his nose and patted Xiang Xueer's shoulder. "Of course! Let's go; I'll take you to a place that specializes in Exorcist weapons. With you just wandering around on the street like this, you'll never find what you need in a hundred years!"
With a mysterious look on her face, Xiang Xueer pouted and glanced around for a while. It indeed seemed like there were no weapon shops nearby, so she decided to follow him.
After passing through several alleys, Li Yunyang was looking around when suddenly his eyes landed on a very small and remote shop. Xiang Xueer looked up and saw that it was a clothing store named Wang Lao Er's Clothing Store.
"Are you buying clothes?" Xiang Xueer frowned at Li Yunyang. His clothes were tattered from being grabbed by the Fox Demon, with several threads hanging off them; anyone would think he was a beggar.
