"Master, please ask, as long as we know, we will tell you everything."
"Who are you people?"
Lulu stared at the four individuals. They looked at each other, but no one spoke.
Lulu kicked one of the thugs directly with a swift motion. The thug, weighing over a hundred kilograms, flew against the wall and landed lifeless. Lulu's kick had broken his neck.
"Congratulations, host, for killing the evil bandit of Tianfeng Stronghold. Ferocity value +1!"
"Evil bandits, evil bandits, the evil bandits of Tianfeng Stronghold! Damn, why didn't I think of it before! Ferocity value can be gained by killing the evil bandits outside the city!"
Lulu exclaimed in his mind, dispelling the frustration of the past few days. Killing these bandits not only kept him safe from the authorities but also earned him a bounty. Bandit troubles were a headache for any government.
Moreover, these bandits were known for their heinous crimes. Killing them was considered a service to the common people.
But most importantly, it added to his ferocity value, the very thing Lulu needed the most.
"So, you thought I wouldn't know you're from Tianfeng Stronghold! And you dared to conceal it!"
Lulu praised the system in his mind; now, he could immediately identify the identity of those he killed!
The remaining three bandits, hearing Lulu expose their identity, were terrified. They knocked their heads on the ground like garlic cloves being crushed, their bodies trembling violently. The sound of their heads hitting the ground echoed, and all three had bloody foreheads.
The three bandits were astonished; Tianfeng Stronghold was originally a stronghold near Canglang City in Yunzhou. They had recently fled to Donglin City to escape the suppression by the government, thinking no one would discover their identity here. However, it seemed that someone in Donglin City saw through them at a glance.
Canglang City and Donglin City were separated by a thousand miles, one in the northern part of Yunzhou and the other in the southern part.
Moreover, the youth in front of them looked handsome, and when it came to killing, he showed no mercy, killing without hesitation.
"Next, I will ask two questions. If you dare to conceal or lie again, he will be your example!"
"Yes! Yes! Yes! Master, we won't dare to conceal anything!"
"How many people are there in Tianfeng Stronghold, and who are the experts among them?"
"Replying to the master, we really don't remember how many people there are. We just arrived from Canglang City to Donglin City as refugees. Many of our brothers scattered, probably around a hundred people!"
"Tianfeng Stronghold has a total of five warriors. Two are in the first phase of the Meridian Expansion Realm, one in the second phase, our second brother is in the fourth phase, and the eldest brother has already reached the fifth phase!"
"Oh, it seems I need to reconsider my plan to attack Tianfeng Stronghold! The idea of going there now with my current cultivation at the third phase of the Meridian Expansion Realm is simply seeking death."
"How much silver did the employer give you to kill me?"
"Two hundred taels. Here is a silver note; please accept it, master!"
Although the bandits loved money, they also understood that even if the money was valuable, they had to have their lives to spend it. In front of this little demon, they couldn't keep their lives if they didn't send him away. The silver note was handed over, and Lulu naturally accepted it.
"Well, not bad!"
Lulu smiled!
The three bandits collectively sighed in relief, seeing Lulu accept the silver note. Their lives should be spared.
"All right, seeing how cooperative you are, I won't make it difficult for you. You just followed your employer's instructions for the money!"
"Yes, yes, yes! What the master said is correct!"
"In addition to the silver note from the employer, anything else on you..."
The three bandits quickly searched themselves. One of them even pounced on the body of their deceased comrade, fumbling around.
In just a few minutes, another pile of silver and copper coins ended up in Lulu's hands.
"Not bad, very good. I'll borrow something from you three, and then you can go!"
"Master, please say. As long as we have it, we will lend it to you!"
"Really?"
"If there is any falsehood, may heaven strike us with five thunderbolts!"
"I want to borrow something you truly have, and that is your lives!"
After saying that, Lulu suddenly made a move, using the Fierce Tiger Fist, accompanied by the delightful voice of the system.
Lulu stared at the '7' behind the ferocity value, satisfied with the silver he collected, and left the alley.
"It seems that Tianfeng Stronghold won't be able to act for a while. Well, other bandit strongholds may not necessarily have experts. Warriors are not cabbages after all. If every bandit stronghold has a warrior, the government would be in trouble!"
Lulu walked to Donglin City's medicine shop and used the silver note to buy twenty Qi-boosting pills. He tucked the porcelain bottles into his arms and headed back to the Lu Mansion.
"This money hasn't even warmed up, and it's already spent! Sigh, as expected, poor in literature and rich in martial arts. The ancients were indeed not deceiving me. Spending money on martial arts is like flowing water. It seems I have to focus on increasing my ferocity value as soon as possible!"
Returning to the mansion, a servant saw Lulu coming back and hurriedly ran inside to report to Luyan. Lulu naturally knew that he was reporting that he not only could practice martial arts but had also reached the third phase of the Meridian Expansion Realm!
"Number 3, East Lin Street, Hu Alley!"
Lulu said to the back of the servant. The gatekeeper of the Lu Mansion naturally didn't understand why Lulu suddenly mentioned an address.
Lulu had already entered the Lu Mansion, returning to his courtyard.
"Master, you're back. Just in time, the clothes made by the weaving workshop have just arrived. I'll bring them to you for a try!"
Lulu had just entered the courtyard when Luo Xiaozhao happily ran towards him.
Luo Xiaozhao had been in a good mood these days. Since the master recovered and could even practice martial arts, the servants who used to bully her now fawned over her. Some even secretly sent her gifts. Following the master's instructions, Luo Xiaozhao accepted them all.
According to Lulu's words, anything given by others, don't reject it for nothing. However, all the things she received had to be handed over to Lulu promptly. This made Lulu annoyed; this girl didn't listen!
"Let me try. I only asked you to have clothes made for Mother and yourself."
"I have enough with one outfit. Master, you don't have many clothes either. Xiaozhao took the liberty to have the weaving workshop make a set for you. Please punish Xiaozhao!"
As Luo Xiaozhao spoke,
she knelt down. However, Lulu quickly supported her. He didn't treat Luo Xiaozhao as an ordinary servant.
"You don't listen. Next time, if you don't listen, I'll spank you!"
With one sentence, Luo Xiaozhao's cheeks turned crimson.
"Since it's already made, bring it here!"
Luo Xiaozhao stuck out her tongue at Lulu and ran towards the room.
"Master, let me help you change!"
"Not in a hurry. I want to wash first. You go change into your new clothes and let me see!"
"Alright, Master!"
The two went into the courtyard. Lulu entered the room to wash up, while Luo Xiaozhao eagerly changed into the new clothes she had prepared for Lulu.
As he washed, Lulu thought, "This girl is so stubborn. If she continues to disobey, I really have to spank her next time!"
With this thought, Lulu couldn't help but sigh. The image of his strict father from his previous life came to mind. In this world, he was the young master of the Lu family. Although his father wasn't as strict, there was still a gap between them.
After washing, Lulu walked out of the room and saw Luo Xiaozhao, who had changed into a set of new clothes, standing there shyly.
"Master, how does it look?"
Lulu looked at Luo Xiaozhao in the new clothes, and a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes.
