Sun Ran angrily scolded his son, and no matter how Ren Xiaoqian tried to stop him, it was useless. He picked up the broom beside him, pulled out the broomstick, and with one sweep, broke his son's leg.

After it was done, looking at his son who was clutching his leg and rolling on the ground in agony, he felt a bit regretful. After all, it was his own son, and he had hit him too hard.

Just now, he had forgotten that he had practiced martial arts for many years, and his skills were far superior to what they used to be. As a result, once he acted, it was his son who suffered first.

Fortunately, the Sun family ran a pharmacy, so Sun Ran could only set Xu Xuan's bone, apply medicine, carry him to the bed, and cast a sleeping spell on him to make him fall into a deep sleep.

After everything was done, Sun Ran turned around and saw Xiaoqian secretly wiping away tears by the bed. This was a true saying: "When the child is hit, the mother's heart aches." Seeing his old wife cry, Sun Ran felt uncomfortable and even more regretful.

However, he would not admit it verbally, and with a stern face, he said, "Your son has been spoiled by you. If he behaves like this now, what will happen when we are old?"

"But you shouldn't have broken Xu Xuan's leg. What if it leaves a long-term problem? What if his legs don't heal properly?" Xiaoqian complained.

"It won't leave a long-term problem. This is actually good. Xu Xuan's legs won't heal properly in a month, so he can stay at home and rest, far away from that snake spirit."

His task was to protect the ordinary player Xu Xuan from harm. Now that Xu Xuan couldn't run around, he could stay nearby to protect him.

Xiaoqian had no choice. The beating had already happened, and the leg was already broken. What else could she do?

On one side, Xu Xuan was under control, while on the other side, Fahai was blocking the entrance of Baoguantang, facing off against the two snake spirits, Bai and Qing, at the pharmacy's door.

Because the two snakes had revealed their true forms, the people nearby had long since fled, leaving the area silent. This was good; when the fight started, there would be no fear of hurting anyone.

Fahai looked at the two half-human, half-snake destroyers inside the pharmacy and sighed, "Ladies, listen to my advice. You should voluntarily quit the game. Don't make things unpleasant for both sides."

When he arrived at Baoguantang, the two spirits had hurried back, showing great concern for the pharmacy owner, Xu Xuan, who indeed had a handsome and graceful appearance, with a refined air.

Fahai had figured out that the snake spirits had truly fallen in love with the ordinary player. He didn't want to break up a happy couple, so he said this.

Bai, also known as Bai Niangzi, had a gentle expression and said, "We haven't harmed the ordinary player. I just want to live a simple life with Xu Xuan. If the game company doesn't agree, I'll go on a killing spree!"

"Right, I'll start with Yang Tingyong, that big VIP!" Qing, also known as Xiaoqing, coldly snorted.

Fahai sneered, "Little girl, you have a big mouth. Kill Yang Tingyong? Have you forgotten what happened at West Lake? You couldn't even summon a tide. Think about why that is."

He had already figured it out. A big VIP like Yang Tingyong would definitely have a high-level maintainer protecting him. The strange phenomenon at West Lake had clearly shown this.

Xiaoqing was stunned and looked at Bai Niangzi, asking, "Sister, is it really like that?"

Bai Niangzi, who was more experienced, nodded and said, "It's true. I heard that Yang Tingyong has a powerful maintainer called Changqing Daoist around him. He once repelled a strong attack by a dozen major spirits. You were in great danger at West Lake."

Xiaoqing was deeply frightened. That was a powerful figure who could truly kill a level-four destroyer. She had actually provoked him, and if he had acted, she would probably be dead now.

Fahai laughed, "Do you understand now? There's a powerful dragon hidden in Hangzhou. If you act recklessly, you'll be destroyed."

This threat was very effective. Bai Niangzi immediately thought of retreating. She had fallen for Xu Xuan for three reasons: his good looks, a sense of gratitude, and a purpose she couldn't easily explain.

For this, she had even used a mind-control spell and secretly married Xu Xuan without telling his father.

Thinking of this, she said, "I can quit, but not now. I need to leave a child for my husband before I go."

Fahai was shocked, "Sister, what are you thinking? This is just a game. Why leave a child? Ten months of pregnancy is very troublesome, and giving birth is very painful. Do you know this?"

How could there be such a devoted woman in the world? Why couldn't he meet one?

Bai Niangzi was firm, "No negotiation. If you don't agree, I'll turn against you. If there's a dragon in Hangzhou, I'll go elsewhere and kill until the game company agrees."

Fahai's face darkened. He had tried to reason with her, but she wouldn't listen. Everyone has a temper, and he said angrily, "I don't want to fight, but you treat me like a decoration! If you want to attack, you have to get past me first."

He slammed his staff into the ground, and a golden Buddhist light enveloped him. In his right hand, a purple-golden bowl appeared, which he lifted into the air. The bowl shot out golden light, heading straight for Bai Niangzi.

Bai Niangzi was also a level-three spirit. Seeing the bowl coming, a pearl emitting a blinding white light appeared in her hand. This was the magical tool she had used to repel the staff and save Xiaoqing, and it was also her inner core after a thousand years of cultivation.

The pearl collided with the bowl, and a deep, resonant sound echoed. The two were evenly matched, and shockwaves rippled through the air, causing chaos in the pharmacy.

Xiaoqing didn't stand idle. A green sword appeared in her hand, and she lunged at Fahai.

Fahai was well-prepared. He easily blocked Xiaoqing with his staff, showing the true skills of a bronze maintainer as he fought two at once without any disadvantage.

As the fight intensified, Fahai's blood boiled, and he entered a maintenance state, continuing to persuade, "The sea of suffering is boundless, but there is a shore. Ladies, you should quit."

"Shut up, you bald monk. You're playing the game too seriously," Xiaoqing said angrily.

Fahai's martial skills and Buddhist knowledge made him increasingly fierce. Not only did they gain no advantage, but they were gradually being suppressed.

Seeing they were losing, Xiaoqing urgently said, "Sister, what do we do? We can't beat him."

The purple-golden bowl was pressing down with overwhelming force, and her inner core was about to give way. Bai Niangzi realized she had underestimated the heroes of the world. Although she and Fahai were both level-three, his cultivation was clearly deeper, and she was no match for him.

"Xiaoqing, run and find our master for help."

"What about you, sister?"

"Don't worry. I have my inner core to protect me. Even if I'm caught by the bowl, this monk won't be able to do anything to me for a while." Bai Niangzi decisively retracted her inner core, and a white light enveloped her body.

Seeing this, Xiaoqing immediately leaped back and fled, her figure quickly disappearing into the alley behind the pharmacy.

Fahai was fully focused on Bai Niangzi and couldn't spare a moment to chase Xiaoqing, who escaped from the pharmacy.

Seeing Xiaoqing escape, Bai Niangzi sighed in relief. In the last moment before being captured by the purple-golden bowl, she smiled, "Monk, you win this round."

Fahai understood her meaning. These two women had a master, and Xiaoqing was probably going to seek help. This was a problem.

He captured Bai Niangzi and wanted to chase after Xiaoqing, but the purple-golden bowl immediately shook. Bai Niangzi was not submissive and tried to break free. Fahai had to use his power to keep her contained and couldn't spare a hand to chase Xiaoqing.

After much effort, Fahai finally controlled the purple-golden bowl but found that he had completely lost track of Xiaoqing. Reluctantly, he returned to Jinshan Temple and buried the purple-golden bowl under Leifeng Pagoda to completely contain Bai Niangzi.

The purple-golden bowl had the power to refine. If Bai Niangzi was contained for about ten years, she would be finished.

After doing this, Fahai immediately went down the mountain to continue searching for the escaped Xiaoqing. He understood the principle of cutting off the root; otherwise, he wouldn't complete the mission and would have wasted his efforts.
