Chapter 159: Chapter 177: Sentencing Evil
Not long after finishing their meal, Bai Susu returned, bringing with her several sets of clothing.
These were no longer street stall goods.
The clothes that Bai Susu bought were all brand names.
Once Long Xiaoshan put them on, his perfect figure was displayed for all to see.
With a physique that looked muscular when shirtless and slender in clothes, he completely resembled a model when he dressed, and due to the effects of the Longevity Art, he carried an ethereal aura.
"So handsome."
Bai Susu and her daughter had not anticipated that Long Xiaoshan could transform so thoroughly just by changing his clothing.
"If you were to get a new hairstyle or something, you wouldn't be any less appealing than those celebrities," Bai Susu admiringly said.
"Handsome, am I?"
Long Xiaoshan himself didn't think so, but he did feel that good clothes were more comfortable to wear.
It was just a pity that no matter how good the clothing was, it wouldn't last long in the village.
With Long Xiaoshan's strength, no clothes could withstand his wear and tear, so he was never particular about his attire.
"Definitely handsome. If you went to our school, for sure a bunch of younger female students would be mesmerized by you," Bai Xuehen said with a slight sparkle in her eyes, feeling that compared to those pale-faced Korean oppas, he was a true man.
"You're still in school?"
"Yeah, I'm a sophomore at Xichuan Music Academy. I took a leave of absence because of my grandfather's illness," Bai Xuehen said, her expression turning somber as she thought of her grandfather's condition.
Although Long Xiaoshan had temporarily stabilized his illness, Hundred-Year-Old Medicine was still too rare.
Long Xiaoshan reassured, "Don't worry, you can go back to school. I guarantee I will get the Hundred-Year-Old Medicine for you."
"Xiaoshan, do you really have a way?" Bai Susu asked.
She hadn't been very convinced before, but everything that had happened at Jingheng Hotel had made her see Long Xiaoshan in a new light. A man who treated people like Elder Ye and Gu Jingheng as his equals might indeed be able to acquire the Hundred-Year-Old Medicine.
"Don't worry, Auntie Su, I assure you," Long Xiaoshan said confidently.
"Xiaoshan, if you can really get the medicine, I don't know how to thank you," Bai Susu said.

"It's no trouble, Auntie Su. Besides, if my cultivation of medicinal herbs is successful, I might need your help," Long Xiaoshan replied.
"Alright, just let me know whatever you need."
With Long Xiaoshan's assurance, the worry on the faces of Bai Susu and her daughter vanished, and they felt incredibly relieved. They chatted with Long Xiaoshan in the living room until ten o'clock before each went back to their rooms to rest.
Once he returned to his room, Long Xiaoshan did not rest.
His need for sleep had diminished greatly and could be completely replaced by cultivation.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Long Xiaoshan closed his eyes, and suddenly, the dark room glowed with golden light as a golden figure stepped out from his body.
The figure had the same face as Long Xiaoshan, but with indifferent and cold eyes, and a third eye on his forehead. The figure radiated golden light all over, standing tall like a golden Deity Spirit against the void.
"This is the Divine Body!"
"Long Xiaoshan" raised his hand, looking at his golden palm.
After being enshrined by the Virtuous Jade Spiritual Purification Bottle, his soul was no longer that of an ordinary person but had evolved into a primary Deity Spirit.
Moreover, from the messages he automatically received during the enshrinement,
Long Xiaoshan knew that the Divine Body could leave the physical flesh and wander the void.
Just now, he had been testing this ability.
Opening the Heavenly Eye on his forehead, a hum resonated, and an invisible wave spread out like ripples in water. Within a hundred-meter radius, everything was visible to him—he could clearly see Bai Susu and Bai Xuehen lying in their beds upstairs, as well as the insects beneath the ground.
Whoosh!
His form moved, and the Divine Body passed through the villa, ascending into the high sky.
The sensation of freely traversing gave Long Xiaoshan an exhilarating feeling.
Long Xiaoshan roamed in the void, quickly leaving the residential area.
Like spirits and ghosts, ordinary people couldn't see Deity Spirits, so even though Long Xiaoshan glowed golden, he didn't attract anyone's attention while walking through the night sky.
He shuttled through the air.
As a "Deity Spirit," he gazed down upon the myriad states of life. Within the range of his Heavenly Eye, no person or event could escape his sight.
Under the night sky, the city shone with dazzling brilliance, showing off a stunningly radiant aspect.
However, in the city's dark corners, countless sins were being born.
"Help, help~"
Faint cries for help echoed from a corner of the park, where a woman out for a night run was dragged into the bushes by two men who were attempting to have their way with her.
Long Xiaoshan made his rounds.
His eyes grew cold as he immediately projected his spirit there, shouting, "Stop!"
The two men who were tearing at the woman's clothes were jolted and quickly stood up, looking around.
"Gouzi, did you hear anything?"
"Seems like someone yelled stop."
The two looked around nervously for a moment, but aside from the sound of the wind and the woman's struggling, there was no one else around.
"Damn, must have been an illusion."
Seeing no one, the two men once again pounced on the woman, resuming their assault.
"Stop right there!" Long Xiaoshan rushed forward, throwing a punch.
However, his fist passed right through one of the men.
"Useless?" Long Xiaoshan paused, realizing his divine state prevented him from attacking physical bodies.
As the woman's clothes were completely torn open, the man called Gouzi had already taken off his pants, ready to commit rape.
Long Xiaoshan was furious.
The third eye on his forehead suddenly lit up.
Light of Divine Punishment!
Boom!
A golden beam shot out from the third eye, directly into Gouzi's mind. Gouzi screamed and fell to the ground, his face deathly pale, completely silent.
"Gouzi! Gouzi!" The other man saw Gouzi collapse and bellowed, "Who's there? Show yourself!"
He pulled out a dagger and waved it around crazily.
Long Xiaoshan's gaze was indifferent.
At that moment, he was gathering the energy for a second Light of Divine Punishment.
This was a Divine Skill that came with the Heavenly Eye,
targeting directly the Divine Soul of a person.
After waving the dagger for a while, the woman on the ground seized the opportunity to get up and run away, screaming for help as she went.
"I'll kill you, you whore! You dare to harm my brother!" The man caught up to her, grabbed her, and stabbed at her with the dagger.
"No!" The woman screamed.
Just as the dagger was about to pierce her body, it seemed like a flash of golden light streaked across the sky.
The man screamed and fell onto the woman, equally lifeless.
The woman screamed as she pushed the man off of her.
Seeing that she was so frightened that her mind was somewhat scrambled, only knowing to scream, Long Xiaoshan yelled sternly, "The assailant has been punished. Now leave this place immediately!"
A voice imbued with Divine Power resonated in the woman's mind.
The woman's body shuddered as if awakening from a trance, looking around she said, "Who's there? Who saved me?"
But by then, all was silent around; Long Xiaoshan had already left.
After a while, the woman muttered, "It must have been a deity who protected me, thanks to the deity's blessing."
She felt that the voice echoing in her mind was grand and righteous, vast and majestic, along with the voice involuntarily a towering figure enveloped in golden light appeared in her mind, certainly not some lower-class spirit.
She knelt and kowtowed several times on the ground, then quickly picked up her tattered clothes and ran out of the park.
At this moment, Long Xiaoshan felt a surge of merit coming his way.
Beyond merit,
there were streams of power flowing into him, nourishing the Divine Body—according to the Deity Spirit's legacy, this should be the power of belief, the source of a deity's power.
"Haha, this is really great!"
Long Xiaoshan discovered a good method of collecting merit.
Intervene as a Divine Body, not only is it quick, but no one can identify his true self.
Even killing someone wouldn't matter.
No one could trace it back to him.
It was as if a deity were patrolling the human world, judging evil; utterly thrilling.
Thinking this, Long Xiaoshan became excited and immediately began searching for the next target of evil.
