The villain's daily corpse collection

Chapter 42: First Taste of Spring Wine

Back in the room, the two began their journey to grab the invitation.

Wang Wei silently thought of the first person's residence, took out a dagger, and cut a few times on the palm of his hand. Silver light rushed out from the scratches on the palm of his palm.

She chanted the spell softly, and a barrier appeared on her palm. The light poured out, trying to escape from her palm, but it couldn't break out. If you look closely, you can see that the light is wrapped with red blood drops. She concentrated and made a spell, and finally the blood drops condensed on the tip of her index finger.

Is this the pure blood of a god born as a god? Huo Feng was quite surprised at this strange scene. Moreover, he understood that Wang used the barrier to seal the excess power from overflowing because he was worried that the heavens would notice it.

Wang Wei grabbed Huo Feng's hand with his other hand, and put his five slender fingers through his fingers, forming a ten-finger interlocking posture. Huo Feng didn't have time to feel his heart palpitating, he just felt the heat in his palm, and the whole person was brought to another scene.

In an instant, everything changed and the two stopped in front of an inn. The plaque read "Fangxi Inn". The surrounding environment seemed to be in the suburbs of the city. Wang Wei pulled Huo Feng into the deserted inn.

Huo Feng was being pulled forward. He didn't know whether to remind his master that he didn't need to be pulled, but he didn't say a word. Perhaps because of the magic, he felt Wang Wei's palm was slightly warm, and her fingers were tightly clasped on the back of his hand, with no intention of loosening.

"It would be great if we could continue like this." Huo Feng thought of this sentence unconsciously, but then he thought, "After that power is removed, our master-disciple relationship should also end. By then, we will each go our own way..."

"The person we want to steal lives in the innermost room on the west side of the second floor." Wang Wei sensed the guidance of the power in his hand, "I sense that there is a child in the room. Let's wait for the opportunity to act."

After hearing this, Huo Feng, who was thinking randomly, felt a little disillusioned. He shook off the messy thoughts in his head.

"What's wrong? Are you dizzy?" Wang Wei looked at Huo Feng's actions with some confusion. Could it be that her magic power was insufficient, and the space magic she cast was not good enough, causing some side effects on people?

She raised her right hand and realized that their hands were still intertwined. Without a second thought, Wang Wei loosened her fingers and slightly broke free from Huo Feng's strength, freeing her right hand.

Then, she raised her hand again and touched behind Huo Feng's ear. Huo Feng suddenly trembled all over and almost fell down. His expression suddenly became extremely unnatural.

Every god has the source of divine power. The power is invisible, so the source is connected to the god's body. A divine seal will appear at the source, marked somewhere on the god's body, also called the divine source mark.

This mark is naturally generated and is unique. The size and shape of each god's mark are different, which is also the fundamental way to distinguish them. The appearance and body shape can change, but the mark of the divine origin will not change.

When every god awakens his divine power, such a mark will be born.

Huo Feng’s divine mark is behind his left ear.

This was what Wang Wei discovered in the monster pawn shop last time. If the two of them had not connected their powers and Huo Feng had not used her power, she would never have been able to detect where Huo Feng's divine seal was hidden due to many coincidences.

Secrets are indeed not easily discovered, but it is hard to encounter this kind of "power transfer" that is rarely seen in a thousand years.

The Divine Origin Seal is extremely important to every god, and it can be regarded as a kind of privacy between gods. After all, only the original deity knows the location where it was born, which is also a weak point.

If there is a second person who knows, it would only be the person you trust the most.

They had known each other for less than two months, and although the ceremony of becoming a master and accepting an apprentice had been completed, their relationship was not unbreakable. Now Wang Wei had even touched her...

Huo Feng seemed to be fixed in place. It took him three breaths to react. Then he grabbed Wang Wei's arm.

"How did you know?" His expression suddenly turned cold.

Wang Wei didn't notice anything wrong. After all, she knew the vital points of her monster disciples very well. It shouldn't be too much for her to accidentally learn the secret of Huo Feng, her last disciple, right?

"I discovered it when you cast a spell last time." Wang Wei frankly told the truth, and habitually put on an indifferent attitude, "What's the harm in knowing? I'm your master, and I won't do anything to you. Isn't the focus now to get the invitation?"

Huo Feng didn't say anything. He shook off Wang Wei and walked towards his destination alone, which was the first room at the left end of the second floor of the inn.

"It's incomprehensible." Wang Wei muttered to himself.

When she walked into the room, Huo Feng had already come out. He said "No" expressionlessly, passed her by without looking back, and walked out of the inn alone.

Wang Wei frowned and turned around slowly. Is this boy really angry with her?

At this moment, a burst of noise interrupted her thoughts. Through the crack of the half-open door in front of her, she saw a man walking around frantically looking for something.

The boy poked the man's thigh from the side. The man turned around angrily and looked in the direction of the boy's finger. He saw that there was still a small half of the invitation hanging next to the fireplace. Due to the special material, most of the rest of the invitation had been melted.

"You unfilial son, you've killed me, I'm going to beat you to death!" The man first rescued a small piece of the invitation, then grabbed the boy's clothes, pressed him to the edge of the bed and spanked his butt hard, causing the child to cry loudly in pain.

The screaming made Wang Wei's ears hurt, so she quickly left the chaotic scene.

Before they could do anything, the man's invitation had been damaged, and they only had two places left to go.

After Wang Wei walked out of the inn, he still couldn't see Huo Feng.

She laughed out of anger and didn't intend to waste time looking for Huo Feng. She silently recited the second name and address, closed her eyes and sensed again, and then arrived at the next destination.

One after another, Wang Wei didn't know whether it was because of bad luck since he came to the mortal world, or because the quarrel with Huo Feng, who carried his own power, damaged his luck.

The second gentleman seemed to have predicted that someone might snatch the invitation, so he changed inns every day and did not leave his real name. Wang Wei still guessed that it was this person through his riddle-like pseudonym. After asking the innkeeper, he learned that he had already left the residence and his whereabouts were unknown.

"Xie Quansheng, living in Taoshan Guesthouse on the east street of Tianquan Road."

Wang Wei arrived at a guesthouse in the blink of an eye. This was where the last known invitation was received, and he couldn't fail again.

The surroundings of Taoshan Inn seemed to be an old town with few people, and it was a bit quieter than the Yucheng Inn where they stayed. There were only a few tables of scattered guests downstairs.

The person who has the invitation here is a businessman from Qingyu City, his name is Jie Quansheng.

In order to avoid another wasted trip, I hoped to make an immersive connection with Jie Quansheng's location in advance, and roughly understand the purpose of his trip, which is to make a fortune from jade.

Xie Quansheng was a drug dealer who traveled around the country. He wanted to come to Fangqiu's Jade Banquet to learn something professional and bring it back to bluff people. Moreover, he got the invitation through connections, so even if it was lost, it wouldn't make a big deal.

I was able to learn this news thanks to the silly apprentice next to Jie Quansheng. Not only was the girl lively and active, she really couldn't understand the purpose of the boss's visit, and couldn't understand the boss's metaphors and rhetoric, all of which needed Jie Quansheng to explain.

After a few visits, Wang Wei had a thorough grasp of their intelligence. But Wang Wei didn't understand why a shrewd businessman would keep a fool around.

But maybe it's not a bad thing for her.

Wang Wei first arrived at Taoshan Guesthouse, sat at an empty table, and waited for his prey.

It was lunch time, and Xie Quansheng came down from upstairs, followed by the not-so-bright "tail" apprentice.

Boss Xie doesn't look very old, probably in his forties, with sharp eyebrows and eagle eyes, and his calm and stern face shows no unnecessary expressions.

The hair crown is set with Xianshan jade from the Shi family, but the clothes are not as ostentatious as those of ordinary merchants. It can be seen that the clothes are all woven with the finest brocade, with delicate dark patterns on the surface, and the finest white jade hanging around the waist.

The younger apprentice, however, was a completely different person. He looked around, and although he had reached the age of marriage, with his hair tied up and a hairpin, he still had the liveliness to spare.

"If you keep on being so eager to join in the fun, be careful that you'll be captured by the Monkey King of Taoshan and made into a maid. I won't save you then." Boss Xie had a stern face and spoke in joking words that didn't sound like a joke anymore.

"Young... Boss, the Monkey King is ambitious and doesn't even think highly of me." The apprentice replied without thinking.

But the speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Xie Quansheng felt that he was being scolded in a roundabout way. He gave the apprentice a slap on the face and then started ordering food.

Although Boss Xie loved to curse and occasionally hit his head, he never treated the apprentice badly. The two ordered dishes and had meals, and the specifications of the meals they ordered were exactly the same. He even ordered a few more meals for the apprentice.

"Boss, look at that guy, why is he drinking alone in the middle of the day?" The apprentice looked around curiously, and then listened to the gossip at the next table. Xie Quansheng couldn't help but kick her under the table, "Eat quickly, even food can't stop your mouth."

Wang Wei was sitting not far away. He used his spiritual sense to carefully search around, from the jade crown on his head to the lining and then to his shoes and socks. "The invitation is probably in his room—"

Suddenly, she felt something was wrong.

The silver invitation card seemed to be nearby... There was something fishy going on under Xie Quansheng's feet! So the invitation card was actually under his feet?

Wang Wei used his spiritual sense to identify it again.

true.

He looked like a respectable man, but unexpectedly... Wang Wei turned his head away with some disgust, but happened to see Huo Feng sitting at another table. It felt like he had been there for a while.

He was sitting alone, with a pot of wine, a small wine cup and a plate of peanuts on the table.

Wang Wei suddenly realized why the waiter kept looking at her table. She immediately stood up, left her seat, and walked straight to Huo Feng.

"If Huo Feng continues to be angry, what if he doesn't cooperate with me in playing this master-disciple game later..." Wang Wei knew that this journey would definitely not be smooth. Fortunately, he was still obedient, but today she really didn't follow his train of thought.

To Wang Wei, the mark was an identity symbol. Her mark was on her forehead and cheek, and once it was revealed, it would be particularly conspicuous. Even so, she was not worried.

But at that time, she was invincible.

Could it be that Huo Feng felt that his situation was more dangerous because her weakness had been discovered?

Does she look so threatening on a daily basis?

In terms of priority in handling incidents, "preserving strength" must be ranked before "getting the body back."

Without the power, it would be useless even if he got his body back. At best, he would be a useless god with an empty body. He might not even be able to survive the divine calamity of returning to heaven.

Let's put the theft at night. She still has time to win back Huo Feng.

The seats in this restaurant are all long benches. Wang didn't care too much and sat down next to Huo Feng. The space was really narrow, so she squeezed in.

Huo Feng was at a loss for what to do with her sudden action. When he heard Wang Wei whisper in his ear, "Sit over there," he somehow stood up as if in surrender without even resisting and moved to the other side of the bench.

As he expected, Wang Wei slid smoothly from the other end of the bench and sat right next to him.

"Boss, wasn't that girl sitting at another table? Why did she go to find that guy who was drinking alone? What's their relationship?" The apprentice muttered to himself while stuffing rice into his mouth, observing his surroundings.

Xie Quansheng said mercilessly: "If you say any more, I will send you back to the back mountain, and never come out again." When the apprentice heard the word "back mountain", he completely shut up.

"What are you doing?" Huo Feng asked in a muffled voice.

“Who are you talking to, little brat?” Wang Wei tapped the back of his head, his voice calming down. “Before, I was frivolous. The matter of the Divine Seal is indeed very important to you… Divine Lords. It was definitely an accident that I knew about it, so don’t take it too seriously.”

She originally wanted to say "you fragile little gods", but the sarcasm was too strong, so she changed her words to a more euphemistic one.

Listening to what people at the next table were talking about, someone suddenly stood up and said, "I'll drink three cups as punishment." Wang Wei followed suit and poured a glass of wine, "I'll drink one cup as punishment, so don't get angry."

Wang Wei raised her head and drank it all in one gulp. The next moment, she felt as if a fire was burning in her throat, and a hot flame popped out.

Huo Feng didn't expect that she would cough like this after drinking a glass of wine. He paused for a moment, and seeing that she was not pretending, he raised his hand and gently patted Wang Wei's back.

"Master, alcohol is not only available in the mortal world. There are gods who drink alcohol everywhere in the heavens. Is this your first time drinking alcohol? This wine is called Liuxun Chuntan. Although it is a little bit stronger than other spring wines, you shouldn't have such a big reaction."

"Hehe... Everything has a first time." Wang Wei waved her hands at him repeatedly, not knowing that in all the thousands of years she had lived, she had only drunk the water from the Tianquan Spring and had never tasted anything else.

She didn't understand why she should drink something so strong and stimulating!

First time? Huo Feng was quite surprised. When he was working in Tiancao, many colleagues would bring wine with them, saying that they needed to relieve stress due to the busy schedule.

The master also works in Tiancao, and he must have a lot of social engagements on a daily basis, but he said that he has never drunk alcohol.

He has never seen a god in heaven who does not drink alcohol.

Wang Wei reflected silently that she had lived too isolated a life in the past. She knew that her monster disciples often gathered together to drink and eat meat, but she always sat high above them in the palace, gazing at them without joy or sadness.

She didn't mind the jubilant atmosphere in the hall, but she never participated in it because she had never had the thought of indulging herself in it.

She was held high up in the midst of a sea of ​​blood and corpses, with no living creatures to be seen around her. How could she have the leisure and elegance to enjoy life?

Taking advantage of Wang Wei's moment of free time, Huo Feng left his seat and asked the waiter for a glass of water. The waiter said that he needed to ask the boss for water because the store only had a small amount of water and only sold wine on weekdays. When he returned to the table, he saw Wang Wei adding wine to the cup again.

"Wait! That's—"

He wanted to say "my cup", but then he remembered that it was not the first time she used it, so he just said it.

She drank it all in one gulp again, but this time, she looked calm because she had discovered that after the burning sensation in her throat, she could taste a hint of sweetness.

When Huo Feng went over and opened the lid of the wine jug, wow, she drank the whole jug of wine.
