The famous eighteenth floor opened every three years, and there were always treasures.

The eighteenth floor would open in a month, and many wanderers would come. The martial arts masters would not miss such a grand event, so the snow region had been very lively recently.

Wanderers from all over the world gathered together, and it was inevitable that there would be friction. There were many more fights in the snow region than before. Those who were unlucky would be pierced by flying swords on the streets.

Gou Liang had never been lucky since he came to this world, but he did not expect it to be this bad.

Although the flying sword couldn't hurt him, he was still unhappy that the cute little puppy and the system were laughing at it.

"Stupid dog, bite him. I'll give you a lick when I'm happy."

Gou Liang pointed at his heart and tempted the puppy.

The puppy did not believe him, so it lay on the swordsman's body and did not respond.

In the last hundred years, the teacher had not been stingy with feeding it. The puppy grew from a small head to the size of a palm. The snow region was very cold. Although it knew that the swordsman was not afraid of the cold, it still used its tail to wrap around his neck to keep him warm.

Gou Liang continued to threaten it. "Think carefully. You only have one chance. If you don't give, you won't get anything. Don't you want to have a taste of it? "

The puppy was shaken. It looked at him, then at the swordsman. It stood up and jumped out.

The swordsman, who was holding his sword and leaning against the wall, opened his eyes and looked at it, but did not stop it.

Since he entered the city, many people had their eyes on his dog scarf.

It couldn't be helped. No one could resist the charm of a cute little puppy in the world of animals.

Its owner was a wandering swordsman who wore patched clothes and could not even afford to stay in an inn. Naturally, many people were tempted.

Among them was the only son of the leader of the martial arts circle, Song Fei.

It wasn't that he wanted the dog, but his fiancée praised the puppy when she saw it. "It's so cute."

Song Fei wanted to please his fiancée, so he spent a lot of money to buy the dog from the swordsman. He did not expect that the swordsman would ignore him.

This made him even more determined to get that dog. He even planned to teach that swordsman a lesson once he left the Snow Region.

Now that the dog had run away, his chance had come.

Song Fei closed his fan and summoned the silver-masked secret guard hiding in the shadows, giving him some instructions. After the Silver Mask Secret Guard left, he looked at the swordsman standing by the wall through the window. His eyes were filled with malice.

He had originally thought that he would definitely win, but he was quickly slapped in the face.

Bang bang bang —

People were constantly being thrown down from the sky and smashed onto the ground, accompanied by the screams of the chivalrous warriors.

Like the wandering swordsman, there were many paladins who couldn't afford to stay in inns and had nowhere to go. When they saw the commotion, they all moved away, but they didn't leave. They stayed not far away to watch the show.

The swordsman had not expected Doggy to cause such a huge commotion. Looking at the people wailing on the ground, some of them were wearing Star Moon Palace's disciple robes and some were wearing Feihua Brothel's inner disciple robes, he knew that this matter would not end peacefully.

Song Fei was shocked and doubtful. He took a step forward and found that it was really the dog that did it.

The Silver Mask Secret Guard had already returned behind him and said, "Young Master, the timing was not right. I couldn't do it."

Song Fei frowned and said, "Let's wait and see."

On the street, Doggy threw all the people on the ground and stepped on each of their faces. He then returned to the swordsman's shoulder and looked at Gou Liang.

Gou Liang was standing beside the swordsman, so from the swordsman's point of view, the little puppy was asking for credit. He couldn't help but find it funny.

Seeing that there were already two groups of people rushing over, the swordsman quickly stuffed the culprit into his arms.

The little puppy struggled to come out, but was held down by the swordsman and warned, "Stay quiet."

"Woo …"

Doggy, who didn't succeed in begging for food from Gou Liang, was unhappy and nestled in the swordsman's chest. He thought to himself, "If that annoying person dares to act shamelessly, I'll bite him to death!"

"May I ask, why did you let your dog hurt people?"

The first to question was a female disciple from Feihua Brothel.

Their Brothel Lord and the Palace Master of Xingyue Palace once had a relationship. Later, the Palace Master of Xingyue Palace changed her mind and the two sects became irreconcilable enemies. They had to "learn from each other" whenever they met.

The people of Jianghu were already used to it. Whenever they met these two sects together, they would run as far as they could to avoid being caught in the crossfire.

It was the first time that a third party directly intervened and taught them a lesson.

Moreover, the one who did it was a dog.

If they didn't clear things up, wouldn't the people of Jianghu laugh at them for not being able to beat a dog?

"I haven't asked, why did you hurt people with your swords?"

The swordsman moved to the side, revealing the sword stuck in the wall. He looked at them coldly and didn't back down.

The girls from Feihua Brothel still cared about their reputation. Seeing that they were the ones who offended them first, they didn't continue to question them.

The disciples of Xingyue Palace didn't have such scruples. After confirming that the sword was from Feihua Brothel, they immediately said,

"Feihua Brothel injured innocent people first, so it's understandable that you taught them a lesson. But our Xingyue Palace didn't offend you, did we? You hurt our disciples. If you don't give us an explanation today, don't even think about leaving the Snow Region! "

As he spoke, he even gave the people from Feihua Brothel a mocking look, laughing at their disciples for not being able to hold their swords steadily.

In the time it took for him to glance sideways, he suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing in his face. The cold blade of a sword was placed against his neck.

The swordsman's sword had not been completely unsheathed, only revealing a little of its sharpness. But it was already enough to make the disciples of Xingyue Palace shudder and their faces turn pale.

The swordsman had no intention to kill. Seeing that he knew how powerful he was, he withdrew his sword.

Just like how no one saw him make a move, he returned to his original position in an instant. He stood with his arms crossed leisurely and said indifferently, "If you don't want to die, scram."

The disciples of Xingyue Palace didn't dare to stay any longer. They hurriedly helped their fellow disciples up and fled.

Although the disciples of Feihua Brothel didn't face his attack directly, their expressions were ugly. Before they left, the leading female disciple nodded and apologized to the swordsman.

This man's skills were strange. She didn't want to attract a strong enemy for the sect because of such a small matter.

It was a farce. The wanderers who had scattered didn't dare to return to their original positions.

They secretly sized up the swordsman with a strange gaze.

They didn't know where this person came from. His martial arts were so strong, yet he was unknown in the pugilistic world. He even looked so down and out. It was really strange.

However, from the confrontation just now, they could see that the swordsman's temper wasn't good. Although they wanted to befriend him, they hesitated for a moment, afraid that they would offend the swordsman.

The alarm was lifted. The little puppy slipped out from the swordsman's arms. Its nose twitched and found that the annoying person was gone. It was instantly furious!

Big liar!!

Gou Liang, who hid back in the sea of consciousness, thought, "Lue, lue, lue ~ ~"

Not long after, a group of people came slowly.

They were dressed gorgeously with white veils covering their faces. Their temperament was extraordinary — they were the masters of the Snow Region, the female disciples of the Lou Clan.

There was only one clan in the Snow Region. There were no other sects.

The Lou Clan had nineteen floors, each with their own duties. But other than the eighteenth floor, the rest were very mysterious. No one had seen them before.

The Lou Clan didn't usually show themselves in front of others. This time, people had already guessed who they were. They couldn't help but look at the swordsman who was stroking his dog's fur.

Sure enough, the leading girl came in front of the swordsman and bowed to him. She smiled and said, "I am Lou Yuqing. Greetings to Senior Li. I didn't know that you were coming. Please forgive me if I have neglected you. "

When the girl revealed the swordsman's identity, it immediately caused a commotion.

Twenty years ago, there was a person in the pugilistic world who challenged the entire pugilistic world with one sword. No one in the pugilistic world was his opponent.

No one knew his name. They only heard that his surname was Li and that he called himself the swordsman of the pugilistic world.

At that time, the leader of the pugilistic world had already decided to give up his position, but the swordsman disappeared. No one had seen him for eighteen years.

Who would have thought that he would appear here today?

Lou Yuqing didn't dare to get angry when she saw that he ignored her. She smiled and said, "My ancestor has already prepared some wine on the eighteenth floor to welcome you."

When the little puppy heard the word wine, its ears pricked up.

The swordsman flicked its ears. There was a hint of laughter in his voice as he asked, "Want to go?"

"Woof."

The little puppy nodded. Its philosophy in life was that it would be a waste if it didn't eat.

Of course, if it didn't taste good, it would teach them the right way to treat their guests.

Lou Yuqing respectfully invited the swordsman to leave. Upstairs, Song Fei was already covered in cold sweat. He asked the shadow guard, "Did you reveal yourself?"

Seeing the silver masked shadow guard shake his head, he let out a sigh of relief.

Luckily.

This was a person that even his grandfather didn't dare to provoke. Luckily, he didn't have time to make a move on his beloved pet.

Song Fei, who had made up his mind to retreat, didn't know that the silver masked shadow guard behind him had an impulsive and terrifying plan.

The wine that the Lou family invited was naturally not ordinary wine.

Opening the mud seal, a rich wine aroma rushed out. Just by smelling it, one could tell that it was a rare wine.

The head of the Lou family, who was sitting in a wheelchair, was dressed in luxurious clothes. His attitude towards the swordsman was respectful.

He laughed and said, "Eighteen years ago, I wrote a letter to invite you to drink. I didn't think that you would never come back. This wine is the 'Drunken Bliss' that I brewed at that time. It was buried in the peach blossom forest. I thought that I would never be able to open it again in my lifetime. I didn't think that I would be able to fulfill my wish in my lifetime. "

The two of them were old acquaintances.

The swordsman was called the number one person in the martial arts world.

The head of the Lou family was one of the people who had lost to the swordsman. He admired the swordsman very much. He wanted to invite him to drink and chat, but the swordsman didn't agree.

He didn't think that after eighteen years, it would be in this situation.

The swordsman shook his head indifferently, "I don't drink wine."

Saying this, he held a tail in his hand, in case the puppy that had already dived into the wine jar fell in.

The Lou Clan Head didn't mind, smiling as he looked at the little puppy who was gulping down the wine, saying: "I didn't expect your beloved dog to be an alcoholic. If I had known earlier, I would have written an invitation to him."

The head of the Lou family didn't look down on it because it was a dog.

Thinking back, the reason why the young swordsman challenged the entire Jianghu was because at the martial arts convention, this dog had scratched a direct descendant of a martial arts family.

The head of the Lou family still remembered that when the heroes challenged the swordsman at the Infinite Peak, the swordsman's sword would fall on whoever the little puppy pointed its paw at. It could be said that the swordsman doted on it.

Just based on the swordsman's love for this puppy, he couldn't treat it lightly.

The swordsman didn't have the intention to chat with him. The head of the Lou family didn't feel awkward and sighed, "Eighteen years have passed in a flash. I'm so old that I can't walk anymore. I didn't think that your dog would still be so small and have such good teeth."

While they were talking, the little puppy had already finished a small jar.

It crawled out and squatted at the mouth of the wine jar. Its wet furry face was raised. It raised its little paw and pointed at another wine jar.

The head of the Lou family laughed and listened to its command. He waved his hand and said, "Qing 'er, quickly go get the wine for your Uncle Li's dog ancestor."

Lou Yuqing thought it was cute and agreed with a smile.

After the puppy drank three jars of wine, the head of the Lou family, who was talking to himself, began to care about the swordsman's marriage.

"Little Li, from what I see, you're still single. You're almost forty now. Why don't you get married? If you're late, I'm afraid that you'll have a son … "

The head of the Lou family paused and smiled while stroking his beard, "You've been wandering outside all year round. I'm afraid you haven't seen many good girls. How about this, I'll be your matchmaker? Our Lou family doesn't have anything else, but a good girl is — "

Before he finished his words, he saw a flash of silver light in front of his eyes. Then he felt a pain on the back of his hand. When he moved again, he found that his most precious beard was cut off.

The one that cut off his beard was pulled back by the tail. But it didn't stand firm on the wine jar and fell into it.

The head of the Lou family, "…"

Only then did Lou Yuqing realize what had happened. She was shocked and asked, "Grandpa, are you okay?"

The head of the Lou family shook his head and watched as the swordsman poured the puppy out of the wine jar. He murmured, "His temper is still so bad … Could it be that he can understand what I'm saying?"

The puppy that was soaked in wine was much smaller than before. It was obviously drunk. It was lying on the table like a useless dog, unable to stand firm.

But when it heard the head of the Lou family's voice, the puppy's head immediately turned towards him.

Even if its eyes were closed, the head of the Lou family could still feel a murderous aura that couldn't be ignored.

The swordsman smiled gently and took the puppy back into his hands. He took out a brocade handkerchief and wiped it clean.

"It's enough to keep me company."

The swordsman said.

The head of the Lou family shook his head and sighed. Although he didn't think much of it, he didn't try to persuade him anymore.

After dinner, the head of the Lou family personally sent the swordsman to the guest house before leaving with his granddaughter.

"Grandpa, I heard that Senior Li's martial arts are unparalleled in the world. Is it true?"

On the way back, Lou Yuqing couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Of course."

The head of the Lou family was worried about his beard as he told his granddaughter the story of how the young swordsman challenged a martial arts master and became famous in one battle.

Lou Yuqing had heard him talk about it many times and wasn't moved. She said, "Senior Brother Song's martial arts are also unparalleled in the martial arts world. Grandpa, who do you think is stronger?"

The head of the Lou family sneered. This comparison was overestimating one's strength.

However, Song Fei was his future grandson-in-law. The head of the Lou family didn't belittle him. He only said, "Song Fei is only 20 years old this year. For him to have such cultivation at this age is already not bad. However, that year the swordsman was only 15 and he defeated me. Now that 18 years have passed, I'm afraid I can only look at his back from afar. "

Lou Yuqing's face suddenly turned red. She didn't dare to compare Song Fei and the swordsman.

No matter how strong Song Fei was, it was only among people of the same generation. Compared to the young swordsman who challenged the entire martial arts world, it was obviously not enough.

Gou Liang sat on the windowsill, looking at the moon in the sky for a while.

Today is the full moon.

He thought in boredom.

On the other side, the wine jars were rolling on the ground. The little puppy that hadn't sobered up was stepping on the wine jars and rolling them around.

Its movements weren't balanced and it often fell on the wine jars, its four limbs spread out like a pancake as it was rolled around.

The swordsman looked at this scene with a smile. When the wine jars stopped, he thoughtfully picked up the dog pancake and put it back on the wine jars so that it could continue playing.

Gou Liang didn't want to see that gentle gaze a second time after seeing it.

His heart was stifled.

Late at night, someone came to visit the guest house of the Lou family.

A pipe pierced through the paper window and smoke was blown in.

A moment later, the person silently snuck into the room. A sharp dagger stabbed towards the white puppy lying on the chest of the swordsman.

Ah!

The back of his hand was scratched. The man in black screamed silently. He was about to escape when a long sword was in front of him, blocking his way.

"You, how dare you."

The swordsman held the puppy in one hand and the sword in the other. He looked at him coldly.

The man in black didn't care about his own life and said, "You can only blame yourself for offending someone you shouldn't have offended."

The swordsman sneered, "You can only blame yourself for offending me if you die here today."

As he spoke, he thrust his sword forward and was about to end the man in black. The latter hurriedly threw a smoke bomb and took the opportunity to escape.

When the smoke dissipated, there was no trace of the man in black.

The swordsman threw his sword away and accurately put it back into the scabbard beside the bed. He walked back, not caring about what had just happened.

But the puppy sneezed. It was irritated by the smoke.

The swordsman frowned slightly and picked up the dagger that the man in black dropped on the bed.

Gou Liang was happy to see this. Oh, the terminator of the puppy's curse has finally appeared!

[Master, is the man in black here to make fun of you?]

The System expressed that it didn't understand.

Gou Liang was in a good mood after watching such a big show. He was in a good mood to dispel its confusion.

"Do you see the words on the dagger?"

Gou Liang pointed at the word "Song" on the dagger, "This is the symbol of the Martial Arts Alliance's Song Clan. The man in black is the hidden guard of the Martial Arts Alliance's Young Master, the one with the silver mask."

[Ah, then isn't he confessing without being pressed? The evidence is irrefutable? Why do I feel like … he did this on purpose?]

"Exactly."

Gou Liang looked at the swordsman who was wiping the puppy's nose and pursed his lips.

[Why would he do this? Does he have a grudge against the Song Clan?]

The intelligent System could also see that the hidden guard had purposely left evidence to let the swordsman know that it was the Song Clan who did this. But doing this didn't seem to benefit him at all.

"To be precise, he has a grudge against Song Fei." Gou Liang said, "The grudge of stealing his wife. How do you think this grudge should be settled?"

[Eh?]

The System didn't understand and was even more surprised.

Its master was the same as it was. He didn't know anything about the plot of this world and couldn't extract anyone's soul. How did he guess all this in such a short period of time?

Could it be … he made up a story to fool it?

The System expressed its doubts.

Gou Liang gave it a look of a highly intelligent System looking down on a stupid System and said, "Can't you see that this hidden guard is the second generation of the God of Bad Luck?"

As for the love and hate between the second generation of the God of Bad Luck and Song Fei, it was a long story.
