Chapter 60 I am a Great Immortal!
The next day, the tyrannical son of the county magistrate arrived with a group of servants.
The old man and woman inside the house were trembling with fear as they were surrounded by the servants wielding sticks.
"Where is he? Why haven't you handed him over yet!" The young master was clearly very impatient.
"My lord!" The old man knelt down with a thud: "My daughter is just a country bumpkin, how could she be worthy of a noble person like you, young master...!"
"Hmm?" The young man narrowed his eyes, pulled out a sword, and held it to the old man's neck.
"Please calm down, sir! Please calm down!" The old woman quickly knelt down and reached out to stop the old man: "He's in that little hut over there, sir!"
The young master, with his fierce face, was clearly no benevolent man. He spat at the old couple and, with two of his servants, headed towards the thatched hut.
Pushing open the small, dilapidated door, it creaked open with a harsh sound, accompanied by dust, dirt, and a musty smell. The bully covered his nose, fanned himself vigorously with his sleeve, and then stepped inside.
The hut wasn't well lit, so you had to get closer to see. The two servants cautiously approached and saw a woman dressed in tattered clothes lying on a straw mat.
"Why are you dressed like a beggar?" A servant frowned.
Upon hearing this, the young master realized that the old couple had picked up a female beggar to fool him. He was immediately enraged and was about to draw his sword.
Then the servant added, "He has a fair and clean face, he doesn't look like a beggar at all, he's quite good-looking."
Upon hearing that she was beautiful, the young master immediately perked up and rushed forward. After taking a closer look, wow, she really was a great beauty, much prettier than the farmer's girl.
"She's the one, take her away!" The young master couldn't contain his excitement and rubbed his hands together. He would take her as a concubine tonight.
"Stop!" Suddenly, a loud, echoing female voice descended from the sky, as if from a ghost or god.
The young master and his servants were all startled.
"Who goes there?" The tyrannical young master looked up and around. The voice was indeed coming from the sky. Looking at the woman on the ground, she seemed to still be unconscious.
"You mortals! Why don't you kneel down before this immortal!" That majestic and intimidating voice rang out again.
The three dared not be negligent, and for some reason their legs involuntarily knelt down.
"Very well! Why are you all here?"
"Good heavens, good heavens, this has nothing to do with us! It's my young master!" A servant, trembling and clutching his head, pointed at the tyrannical young master: "He tried to abduct a woman!"
"How dare you!" The authoritative female voice echoed above the thatched hut.
"Gods, I was wrong, please forgive me!" The tyrannical young master cried bitterly, now believing that there are gods watching over us.
"Alright, I should have reported this to the Heavenly Court right now and sent you to the Underworld! But considering your remorse, I'll give you a chance."
"Yes, yes, yes! Please speak, immortal!" Upon hearing this, the bullying young master immediately kowtowed frantically, as if the immortal could spare his life.
"I will possess this woman's body in a moment. Take me back to your residence and treat me well to accumulate merit!"
The bullying young master glanced at the woman lying on the ground and nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, go close the door. I'm going to cast a spell, and no outsiders can see it!" At this moment, Lu He was rhythmically controlling the remote control buttons of the tape recorder. These small buttons were hidden in her palm. She had been pretending to be asleep, acting out this scene.
She had placed the tape recorder on the roof beam long ago.
The three people who had just been kneeling scrambled to their feet and closed all the doors and windows, plunging the room into darkness.
Lu He then turned on the colored lights, and the green and red lights alternated, completely fooling the three unlucky guys. The three of them huddled together in a corner, watching the red and green lights flashing in the room, feeling like they were in the middle of the night.
Then look at the ground, where many incomprehensible symbols with shifting light have appeared, and the woman lying on the ground also has incomprehensible runes on her body.
The three lowered their heads, closed their eyes, and dared not look around again.
Lu He cautiously opened her eyes, and seeing that they were almost fooled, she stopped and turned off the lights. Then she got up and walked towards the three of them.
"Get up!" Lu He said.
The sound was the same as the one from the sky just now, only without the majestic echo.
"A deity!" The three bowed in unison.
Lu He was very satisfied and waved his hand: "My identity must be kept secret. You can just call me Nie Qing."
"Yes, Nie Qing... sir..." The tyrannical young master was flustered and didn't know how to address her.
"Shh, call me Miss Nie Qing. I have a mission to fulfill this time, and the secrets of heaven cannot be revealed." Lu He pretended to be mysterious, and then was invited out of the house by the bullying young master. The servants outside were puzzled as to why their young master was so humble and obsequious in welcoming this young lady.
"Let's go! Back to the manor!" Without saying much, the young master waved his hand, and a large group of people, surrounded by attendants, led the beggar girl and quickly disappeared at the end of the small village.
The elderly couple were left staring at each other, completely bewildered.
Other villagers were watching the spectacle, expecting a terrible thing to happen. But it was over quickly, and the elderly couple was unharmed. Then they saw their daughter, who was supposed to be taken away, cautiously peeking out from the inner room.
The villagers immediately felt a sense of awe, wondering if this family had some skill in escaping unscathed from the magistrate's son.
