Chapter 122 - Burial Mound, Snatching Talismans!

Qi Hao then remembered that the talisman in Lu Chengfu’s hand was what he had given to him before. Back then, he thought they were too cumbersome but was afraid of wasting Brother Zhu’s good intentions, so he wanted to share it with the others. Who would have known that no one wanted them!

Only Jian Chongying and Lu Chengfu gave him face and asked for a total of three talismans. At that thought, Qi Hao’s face quivered and he immediately took out the remaining seven talismans from his bag.

Although the talisman drawings were different, the pattern around the edge was clearly identical to the one on the fake talismans which they had bought from that dog sh*t “true” Celestial Master. Qi Hao recalled how he had treated the talismans which Brother Zhu gave him as fake and the fake ones as the real deal.

Qi Hao’s face promptly turned colorful. Lu Chengfu and Jian Chongying looked at each other, and their expressions were also very embarrassed as their complexions alternated between green and purple.

“Fortunately, Haozi didn’t waste Brother Zhu’s good intentions!” Otherwise, they would all be finished. After a pause, Lu Chengfu continued happily, “And Haozi, it’s a good thing you took the initiative to give me one! If it wasn’t for this talisman, I might not have survived until now.”

Lu Chengfu was very glad that he had given Qi Hao face and asked for one. Otherwise, who knew if he would still be alive now. He might have followed Sun Jiezhen and the other women to take a curious look at the blade, and might have been dismembered and chopped into mincemeat.

Lu Chengfu couldn’t help but shiver, a chill running down his spine.

Jian Chongying and Qi Hao naturally thought of this too, and they were both silent. If this talisman hadn’t given Lu Chengfu a hint and he hadn’t had a death grip on them, with their curiosity, they might have been the first to die.

At the thought of Sun Jiezhen and Jiang Meng’s wretched ends, Jian Chongying and Qi Hao also shivered with cold sweat on their foreheads and they felt chilled to the bone!

The three now stared at the talismans as if they were peerless treasures.

Qi Hao, on the other hand, stared greedily at the talismans which Jian Chongying and Lu Chengfu took out. In such a dangerous situation, no one would dislike having more than one life-saving object. After learning how precious these talismans were, Qi Hao’s heart ached terribly at the thought that he had given away three of them!

Of course, although Qi Hao was envious, he remembered that if it hadn’t been for his two good friends risking their lives to carry him here, not to mention talismans, he wouldn’t be alive to see this muddy ground now. Thinking this, Qi Hao looked at the two of them gratefully.

Gritting his teeth in pain, he shared another talisman with each of them.

Lu Chengfu and Jian Chongying looked at Qi Hao gratefully. Seeing that Qi Hao still gave them one each, especially when he had so few, Lu Chengfu knew that these talismans were precious. Having an extra one might save his life. He stared intently at the talisman, but ultimately gritted his teeth and refused. “Forget it, Haozi, you don’t have many yourself. Don’t share them with me!”

Qi Hao suddenly remembered that Wang Xuewen had burned half of the talismans in a bid to chat up girls.

At that moment, his face twisted in pain as if Wang Xuewen had murdered his father and his eyes spewed fire. At the thought that almost half of the talismans had been burned to ash by Wang Xuewen, he really wanted to kill Wang Xuewen and slit his own throat. He regretted how he didn’t believe Brother Zhu’s words back then, treating the real thing as fake and stupidly letting Wang Xuewen burn the talismans.

He gnashed his teeth in pain and remorse. “I’m going to chop up that son of a b*tch surnamed Wang! He has to compensate me for burning the talismans!”

It would have been fine if Qi Hao hadn’t mentioned it, but since he did, Jian Chongying and Lu Chengfu clearly remembered that scene. At this moment, even Jian Chongying, who was the calmest, wished he could skin Wang Xuewen alive and pull out his tendons, and he and Lu Chengfu both looked pained and remorseful.

Why didn’t they restrain Wang Xuewen’s idiotic behavior at that time?

As the three were talking, they suddenly heard movement at the entrance and their faces changed dramatically. They turned their heads and saw Si Yinghua and Chen Bing panting as they came in.

Chen Bing and Si Yinghua looked at each other, then suddenly walked toward Lu Chengfu as greed flashed across their faces. Chen Bing spoke first, but her eyes never left Lu Chengfu’s hand. She said coaxingly, “Young Master Lu, can I see that talisman in your hand?”
