"..." "They want to enter too...

Huh? It's a 'Floating Sky Jade Plate,' and two of them at once! I heard these things have been out of stock; you can't buy them even with money now!" "That woman is truly beautiful.

Based on my experience, she's likely still untouched! What is that man doing? Not immediately enjoying such a gorgeous woman, just letting her go to waste?" "Maybe the guy is impotent.

Aren't you a renowned Casanova? What are you waiting for? Hurry up and try to snatch her away!" "Heh heh, that robber truly doesn't know how to enjoy himself.

If I were him, I would definitely..." "..." Amidst a string of vulgar whispers, Nie Kong and Tai Yan had secured their 'Floating Sky Jade Plates' and entered the swamp.

The items truly justified their price; stepping onto the slightly swaying marshland, they felt utterly weightless, with no sign of sinking at all.

Though they couldn't exactly sprint across the mire, their pace of advance was by no means slower than walking normally outside.

Before long, Nie Kong and Tai Yan vanished from the sight of the crowd gathered at the swamp's edge.

Miles deep into the 'Spirit-Banning Swamp,' Nie Kong and Tai Yan halted at the foot of a small mountain.

He had chosen this entry point merely to see what impact his actions from the previous day might have had, not because he genuinely intended to blunder through the terrain using two 'Floating Sky Jade Plates.' However, just as Nie Kong was preparing to change the color of his clothing, Tai Yan tugged at his sleeve, her expression full of curiosity: "Brother, what is an 'untouched original'?" Nie Kong felt his head spin: "Uh, well, an 'untouched original' is..." Qing Yue slipped out, snatching Nie Kong's line with a sly grin: "An 'untouched original' is a woman who hasn't fought with a man.

Women like your Auntie Mei Xian and Auntie Xue Chan aren't 'untouched originals.' As for your Sister Hua Mei, she's half an 'untouched original,' and you, you are a complete 'untouched original.'" "Go away, stop stirring up trouble!" Nie Kong was annoyed, and couldn't help but flick a finger toward the little sprite, but she was already prepared, zipping back into his embrace.

Tai Yan nodded, as if waking from a dream: "So that's what it means.

Then I must fight with Brother soon, striving not to be an 'untouched original,' nor even half an 'untouched original.'" "..." Nie Kong felt utterly defeated.

Knowing this, he should have let Sister Chan teach the girl some basic knowledge about 'fighting' back on Dragon Island, saving him from her constant, curious questioning.

Suddenly, a strange laugh rang out: "Heh heh, little sister, if your brother won't fight with you, I will! I guarantee I'll make you stop being an 'untouched original' right away." "Hm?" Nie Kong's brow arched slightly, and he glanced toward the sound, seeing a sturdy silhouette push through the undergrowth ten meters away and stride toward them.

What stunned Nie Kong was that the person was dressed entirely in green robes, a green hood covering their head, revealing only two eyes wide as brass bells. "Bandit?" Tai Yan opened her small mouth in astonishment.

Nie Kong found the situation simultaneously frustrating and amusing—the genuine Li Kui had run into an imposter! The green-robed figure didn't slow down, yelling menacingly: "That's right, I am the Green-Robed Bandit! Boy, hand over the herbs and hand over the beauty, and I might spare your life." As he spoke, his two gleaming eyes were already fixed on Tai Yan's fiery, sexy figure.

Nie Kong exclaimed in alarm: "Doesn't the Green-Robed Bandit only steal herbs?" "Yesterday I only stole herbs, but today I've changed my mind! I'm stealing herbs and women! Boy, whose fault is it that your woman is so pretty?" The green-robed man stopped before Nie Kong, laughing mockingly, extending a rough hand toward Tai Yan, his leering gaze seeming desperate to strip the clothes off her body. "I give you neither the herbs nor the woman.

What do you intend to do?" Nie Kong quickly wrapped an arm around Tai Yan and stepped back. "Then die!" With a shout full of killing intent, the green-robed figure swung a heavy palm at Nie Kong.

However, before it could connect with Nie Kong's head, the green-robed man found his arm arrested mid-swing; looking down, he saw his wrist tightly gripped by Nie Kong's right hand. "Since you wish to die, I shall grant your wish!" Nie Kong had no patience for further nonsense and gave a gentle tug with his right hand.

The green-robed man stumbled forward, and Nie Kong’s left palm struck swiftly, locking onto the bandit's neck.

He then yanked off the hood, revealing a face that looked familiar—it was the stout man from the swamp's edge who had been boasting about what he would do if he were the bandit.

Inspired by the previous day's Green-Robed Bandit, the strongman had prepared similar attire.

Upon spotting Nie Kong and Tai Yan, he had moved up his plan, expecting a surefire opportunity to enjoy the beauty, but he hadn't anticipated Nie Kong's strength—strength so great that he couldn't resist at all.

The man’s mouth struggled open, emitting a strange gurgling sound; his entire face flushed purple, his eyes wide with terror and despair. "You aren't qualified to play the bandit in front of me.

I forgot to tell you—I am yesterday's Green-Robed Bandit!" Nie Kong chuckled softly, flicked his left hand, and the hundred-plus pounds of the stout man flew horizontally, crashing into the mire dozens of meters away.

His legs only managed a brief twitch before the swamp swallowed him whole. "Come out!" Nie Kong's eyes shifted toward the patch of grass where the stout man had first appeared. "Run!" A cry of panic erupted as four figures dressed identically to the green-robed man leaped from the brush and scrambled desperately up the slope.

They were the stout man's accomplices, hiding as a precaution: if the stout man failed, they planned to rush out and attack.

If successful, the stout man would take the prize, and they would enjoy the spoils too.

But they hadn't expected events to unfold so rapidly, their companion finished before they even had a chance to launch their ambush.

Nie Kong’s steps blurred; in an instant, he caught up to them and tossed them all, one by one, into the mire.

In mere seconds, all four were screaming as they followed their companion's fate. "All these people are mean; I only want to fight with Brother," Tai Yan said, still slightly pouting, as Nie Kong returned to her side. "Ahem, ahem..." After two dry coughs, Nie Kong quickly ushered Tai Yan into the dense mountain forest.

Less than a minute later, a green-robed figure charged out and sped like lightning toward the depths of the swamp.

The robbery operation commenced once more...

Just like yesterday, screams, shouts, and curses echoed over the Spirit-Banning Swamp.

Even more unexpectedly, in addition to the Green-Robed Bandit today, a massive black shadow had also joined the fray to steal herbs.

This giant black eagle, although like the Green-Robed Bandit it only stole herbs and took no lives, behaved even more maliciously.

Not only did it snatch every herb, but it would also toss the herb gatherers into the mire, only to fish them out right as they were about to drown.

After repeating this several times, when the eagle finally flew away, the herb gatherer was scared half to death! ...
