Neither of them had reached the Foundation Establishment stage, and the thief beside them was just an ordinary man. Even Bai Fan had only just achieved Foundation Establishment. In contrast, among the water bandits in front of them, several were at Foundation Establishment, and there were many more at Qi Refining stage. Even if they had two more Foundation Establishment cultivators on their side, they wouldn’t stand a chance. "Bai lady." "Don’t worry." Bai Fan quickly reassured the two Daoists, standing calmly behind He Yi Man. "I didn’t want to harm you because of your beauty, but since you’re so stubborn, I have no choice but to destroy the flower." The burly man gathered his energy and swung his blade towards He Yi Man. Some of the water bandits couldn't bear to see such a beautiful woman perish and turned their heads, covering their eyes. He Yi Man's clear, watery eyes watched the impending blade calmly. She held a flute in one hand, her fingers pressing a hole on the instrument. "Whoo" The flute's sound was low and wail-like, and the surrounding spiritual energy suddenly concentrated, forming a green sword that clashed with the big man's blade. The sword, as sharp as a hot knife through butter, sliced the blade in his hand into two pieces. The burly man seemed unable to process the situation, staring blankly at the green sword that had suddenly appeared above his head. "Clang" The burly man dropped the blade hilt, looking at He Yi Man in disbelief and fear. "Who are you?" The row of water bandits behind him, sensing something was off, loosened their hands and saw the green sword above the burly man’s head, as well as his bisected blade. They realized the situation had changed. "I am He Yi Man of the Mayfly Palace." He Yi Man provided her background plainly, seeing no reason to conceal it. But the burly man alone wasn't unimpressed; he knew very well what the Mayfly Palace was. It was a major sect in the Southern Continent, on par with the Pure Yang Palace, with elders at the Nascent Soul stage. He thought he must have had the worst luck to encounter a Mayfly Palace disciple in such a desolate place. With the Mayfly Palace embroiled in a fierce conflict with the Pure Yang Palace, how could a disciple still be wandering about? The other water bandits, unfamiliar with such sects, had been bandits since they began cultivating and knew nothing of these sects. Significant sect disciples typically didn’t travel these minor paths. Qi Da Zhang and Zhang Dao Zhang, however, had heard a bit about the Mayfly Palace; disciples from major sects often came to the Ascension Meeting to train, and female disciples of the Mayfly Palace were generally dressed in green. However, they hadn’t linked this unassuming girl with the Mayfly Palace due to her lack of apparent spiritual power. The burly man quickly knelt, his head hitting the ground. "I didn't recognize a great personage, didn’t realize the fairy was a Mayfly Palace disciple. I beg you to spare me." Bai Fan was incensed upon hearing this. What, you think begging for mercy should grant you freedom after robbing people? "Sister, we can’t let them go so easily." Bai Fan glared at the water bandits, gritting her teeth. They had forced her onto the boat, made her drink terrible tea, and intended to harm them. He Yi Man wasn’t concerned with such people, but the girl addressing her as "sister" so smoothly prompted her to ask, "Then how should we deal with them?" "I think we should confiscate all their belongings and hang them at the bow of the boat until the ropes wear out on their own." Bai Fan was known for her vindictiveness, especially against those who had wronged her. She remembered every slight and sought retribution whenever possible. He Yi Man nodded. "Fine, we’ll do as you say." Bai Fan ecstatically executed her plan, tying up the terrified water bandits one by one and hanging them over the side of the boat, leaving only their heads above water. Each wave splashed onto them, nearly drowning them, a truly sinister method. With her beastly strength, Bai Fan quickly tied up all the water bandits, clapping her hands in satisfaction at the result. "Is everything ready?" He Yi Man watched Bai Fan’s intense activity. Bai Fan nodded, smiling, "Just a bit longer." She then dashed into the cabin, rummaging until she found some things—loot the water bandits had extorted, including a small pouch of spirit stones. Bai Fan first stashed the spirit stones into her storage bag, then brought out the rest of the collected items and even pilfered a container of tea leaves, leaving no corner untouched. Watching Bai Fan come out with a pile of items, excitedly showing them to everyone, she graciously said, "Feel free to pick anything you like from here, the rest are mine." Qi Da Zhang and Zhang Dao Zhang didn’t hesitate, but under He Yi Man’s presence, they were cautious. However, He Yi Man remarked, "These things are useless to me, take what you wish." The two Daoists brightened, recognizing the items as stolen goods from bandits, not innocent people's possessions, and major sect disciples often took precedence in such matters. Yet, this Mayfly Palace disciple was so generous, taking nothing herself, further solidifying their respect. Unbeknownst to them, He Yi Man truly had no use for such items. Not being a cultivator herself, it was not lack of avarice but irrelevance. Bai Fan had already secured the spirit stones in her storage bag without anyone noticing. Qi Da Zhang and Zhang Dao Zhang selected a few magical tools, containing rare Geng Metal, which could enhance their own tools due to its high affinity with spiritual power. After everyone had chosen, Bai Fan cheerfully picked up the remnants. The thief got nothing, adhering to Bai Fan's rule that his things were her things. Leaving the water bandits' boat, Bai Fan and the Daoists returned to their vessel, expressing gratitude to He Yi Man. He Yi Man merely nodded, intending to leave without further interaction. But Bai Fan remembered her promise to repay the favor. "Wait a moment." He Yi Man halted, turning to Bai Fan. "Do you have more to say?" "My name is Bai Fan. If you ever need help, you can find me at the Immortal City.” "Okay." He Yi Man memorized the name, then turned to leave swiftly, much to Bai Fan's disappointment. Traveling with such a skilled companion would have ensured more safety. "Let’s go." Bai Fan, casting a wistful glance at He Yi Man’s retreating figure, then brightened upon seeing the water bandits dangling in the water. With buoyed spirits, she navigated the boat, warning, "Be careful not to catch a cold when it gets dark, and don’t fall asleep." "Hee hee hee," Bai Fan laughed, resembling a clucking hen, making Qi Da Zhang and Zhang Dao Zhang slightly embarrassed by her unique laughter. The thief wasn’t surprised, having seen his boss in many forms, knowing she lacked typical girlish traits, which was unsurprising considering she was a giant serpent. The water bandits, nearly fainting from anger, watched helplessly as their captors divided their stolen goods and left them dangling. It was their unluckiest day ever, losing everything and ending up humiliated. Bai Fan sat at the bow, examining her storage bag. She pulled out the miscellaneous items, considering their potential use, as they had originally belonged to cultivators. Holding a small box with a button, Bai Fan curiously pressed it. The box gradually opened, transforming like a small cube. Even the Daoists couldn’t help but look, admiring its intricate design. The small cube suddenly sprouted four legs like a crab and began scuttling around the boat, causing Bai Fan to exclaim in surprise. "What is this thing, and why is it moving?" Bai Fan had no idea what the tiny contraption was; she had merely pressed a button, and it came to life. Nearby, Zhang Dao Zhang remarked, "I once heard of a Daoist art known as puppet mastery during my travels. The art was said to have been created by a mere mortal, a carpenter." "Puppet mastery?" Bai Fan thought it sounded reminiscent of robots from her previous life. Yet, how could such an advanced technology be created by a carpenter in a world lacking such advancements? Bai Fan reached out and grabbed the small contraption. Although she held it, the tiny puppet seemed unaware, its four legs continuing to move restlessly. Flipping the puppet over, Bai Fan examined it, hoping to uncover its secrets. But the puppet was tightly constructed, and deciphering its mechanism seemed impossible without taking it apart. However, she feared being unable to reassemble it, leaving her frustrated and staring at the device. The two Daoists watched Bai Fan’s troubled gaze on the crawling puppet, and for the first time, she seemed like a typical young girl to them. Setting the puppet back on the ground, Bai Fan watched as it flipped itself over again, suggesting it had some form of autonomy or instinct. She wondered how it had been made. If she could understand its workings, perhaps she could create puppet horses or even humanoid puppets. Eventually, Bai Fan pressed the button once more. The puppet folded itself back into its original form, becoming a simple box again. Deciding to keep the contraption, Bai Fan thought it might be useful in the future. She then sifted through the rest of the items, setting aside the more mundane ones and keeping a few silver needles, clearly hidden weapons, which she found particularly intriguing. **Previous Chapter** **Contents** **Next Chapter** Home | Desktop Version | Bookshelf | Full Novel Archive | Popular Novels
