Chapter 88: Changsheng County at the Foot of Yunding Mountain
If you were to ask what the people of Southern Art County had been most excitedly talking about during their tea breaks recently, it would undoubtedly be about Lord Li.
It was said that not long ago, a divine immortal passed through Southern Art County. Seeing how Scoundrel Li was bullying the people and committing numerous evil deeds, the divine immortal decided to intervene and enlighten him.
Now, Scoundrel Li has truly turned over a new leaf—painfully so, in fact. It was said that whenever Scoundrel Li even thought of doing something wrong, he suffered excruciating heartache, with pain so intense it made life unbearable. Every day, if he didn't do good deeds, he still felt pain. Though, it was not as severe—just enough to keep him barely alive.
Could you believe it? People now dared to call him Scoundrel Li to his face!
Whether you called it enlightenment or punishment might be up for debate. But whether it was enlightenment or punishment, in the end, it dealt with a major bully.
Scoundrel Li was originally known throughout Southern Art County as a notorious bully and rogue, with countless victims of his abuse and harassment. In Pingzhou, where there’s a strong belief in immortals and gods, people love discussing such topics. Now that a wandering divine immortal has dealt with a local bully right in their midst, what could be a more intriguing topic?
For a time, everyone—from the county officials to the common folk, even those in remote mountain villages outside the city—was talking about this incident. When it came to Scoundrel Li, everyone paid close attention.
The person who paid the most attention to this was the innkeeper of Jingfu Inn. Why? Because that divine immortal had stayed at his inn, and it was in one of his upstairs rooms where Scoundrel Li had been enlightened.
The innkeeper didn’t dare spread the news too quickly, fearing that while he might have made some money, Scoundrel Li might come back to take his anger out on him once he regained his senses and no longer felt pain nor had anyone to take his anger out on.
