Let's just drift through life together in this quick transmigration story.

Chapter 863 The Substitute Bride (25)

After robbing Blackfire Village, Xiong Bufan set the village on fire and flew in mid-air watching it disappear little by little.

There may be innocent people in Blackfire Village, but Big Cat and his group seem to be even more innocent.

Some people who stay in the bandit's den must bear certain consequences.

As the fire spread, Xiong Bufan took a shovel and dug a firebreak around Blackfire Village, not wanting the fire to spread everywhere.

Kongkong felt that Xiong Bufan's continued focus on forest fire prevention at this time showed his deep love for the forest.

After burning down the house, Xiong Bufan was covered in soot, but she was too lazy to wash her face. She just sat outside the firebreak and watched, wondering what the big cat was feeling when it was burned down, and whether it was hoping that she would go back to save them.

Kongkong, fearing that Xiong Bufan would become increasingly saddened, began to distract him, saying, "Bufan, let's go find the author's consciousness."

I strongly suspect that it killed the big cat.

"I understand."

It's better to eliminate others than to fight amongst ourselves. Kongkong thinks this statement makes a lot of sense.

Xiong Bufan's focus is no longer on what the big cat was thinking back then, but on how to eliminate the author's consciousness, which should never have harmed Xiong Bufan's loyal servant.

Kongkong noticed the change in Xiong Bufan's mindset and breathed a sigh of relief. She hoped that Xiong Bufan would be happier and not feel like the sky was falling over every little thing.

Look for reasons in others and make things harder for yourself. The world doesn't need a little bear to save it. The little bear should just do what it's supposed to do.

Xiong Bufan took out some food and roasted it over the fire. After eating until he was half full, he strolled away from the dark, charred place.

So what if there's nowhere for Xiong Bufan to hide in this vast world? Xiong Bufan will continue to pursue the author's consciousness until it begs for mercy.

Ever since Cailing saw Xiong Bufan, her heart has been filled with immense joy. She now has a reason to live. Her daughter is still outside the mansion, and she wants to raise her.

For Cailing, Wang Xile being alive was a gift from heaven, a wonderful surprise.

But Xiong Bufan herself didn't feel that way. She just wanted to give Cailing more money and then never look for Cailing again. She wanted to focus on her own career.

After helping Madam Wang to bed, Cai Ling returned to her own room.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw Xiong Bufan sitting at the table, constantly putting food into his mouth.

The servants outside were searching everywhere for the thief who had stolen food from the kitchen. Cailing quickly closed the door, keeping the people searching outside.

Xiong Bufan looked up at Cailing and said calmly, "You're back."

Cailing nodded. "Xile, if you're really hungry, your aunt will go to the small kitchen to cook for you."

"No need, I'll be full soon."

Cailing sat next to Xiong Bufan. She felt that Wang Xile's personality had changed drastically, but she couldn't say it outright. She could only try her best to care for her. "Xile, if you don't have any money, just tell your aunt."

Xiong Bufan picked up a small package from the ground and placed it on the table. He opened a small corner of the package and looked inside, discovering that it was full of gold and silver jewelry.

Although the candlelight was dim, Cai Ling could still see the contents of the package.

"Joy, where did you get so much money?"

Xiong Bufan: "I'm giving you all the money I've earned. You can use it wherever you want." Xiong Bufan said with a touch of pride.

Cailing: "Xile, I don't want the money. You should take the money and live well, and don't let Madam find out."

There's nothing your aunt can do to help you; she just hopes you'll be safe.

"I'll go and take care of Madam Wang and Wang Hong for you, then you won't have to be afraid of them anymore."

Upon hearing this, Cailing instinctively refused, "Xile, don't go. Madam is well, and Master is well too."

Although Xiong Bufan didn't understand what he was saying, he didn't insist. "Whatever makes you happy."

"I'm leaving. I'll see you less often from now on. You live on."

Cailing was somewhat surprised to hear that Xiong Bufan was leaving. "Where are you going?"

"none of your business."

After saying that, Xiong Bufan took the food and slowly slipped to the window.

Cailing: "Xile, if anything happens, remember to write to your aunt. Your aunt will pray to the gods and Buddhas to protect you."

Xiong Bufan was surprised that Cailing was so superstitious. He nodded, opened the window, and jumped out. Cailing watched Xiong Bufan's back, wanting to call out but afraid of attracting attention. She could only watch Xiong Bufan disappear into the thick moonlight.

Xiong Bufan's current task is to find the author's consciousness and seek justice for himself.

Since arriving at Nanfeng Tower, Gou Ding has basically been taken care of. In the evenings, he doesn't have to entertain guests; he just needs to dress up beautifully, sit under the stage, listen to the beautiful ladies sing, and gather information.

He was living a very comfortable life, but this was not what Gou Ding wanted. He wanted to walk the world openly and honestly and complete his mission.

After downing two cups of fine wine, Gou Ding became depressed again, lamenting his lack of success in this small world and how a vicious woman had sent him to Nanfeng Tower.

When Xiong Bufan flew to Nanfeng Tower, he immediately saw Gou Ding.

This person is much more alluring than the last time I saw her; she's even too beautiful to be human.

Kongkong: "Bufan, that's a mission taker."

Xiong Bufan nodded. "I could smell it, so I came to find the author's consciousness."

Gou Ding was probably a rescuer summoned from the sidelines by the author's consciousness, while Xiong Bufan seemed to have known about this all along.

Too many people wanted to harass Gou Ding in the lobby of the Male-Feng Pavilion. Gou Ding felt bored and swayed back to his room. Xiong Bufan quickly followed him.

Gou Ding: "Since you're here, show yourself."

Xiong Bufan brandished his broadsword and slashed straight at him, shouting, "Give me your life!"

Gou Ding dodged the attack, but was still wounded by the blade.

He knew he couldn't win in a head-on confrontation, so Gou Ding tried to get close to Xiong Bufan and persuade him to go easy on him. "Boss, it's me, Gou Ding. I'm making money for you."

Xiong Bufan: "Did you kill the big cat, and the people in its den?"

While the death of the big cat is certainly cause for celebration, it is unreasonable to make oneself the scapegoat.

Gou Ding: "Boss, Big Cat is dead? This has nothing to do with me."

Xiong Bufan continued hacking away, saying, "You were the one who led those government officials there. I've spoiled you rotten."

Gou Ding realized that Xiong Bufan wanted him to take the blame, so he turned and ran out of the room, shouting, "Help! Help! Someone's killing me!"

Gou Ding is not good at killing; he is good at psychological warfare and strategy. He now hopes that a crowd can hold off Xiong Bufan and allow him to escape.
