My wife is a reborn big boss

The atmosphere in the inn became tense, and everyone turned to look. When the man coughed twice and got up, everyone's attention returned to Wu Qiong and the waiter.

Wu Qiong composed himself for a moment, then said with a half-smile, "Brother, this wine of yours..."

"Hand over the secret manual, and I'll spare your life!" A loud shout interrupted Wu Qiong's words again.

"..." Wu Qiong's smile froze. He took a deep breath and continued, "Little Brother, you..."

"You think you can get the secret manual? Dream on!" the young man who flew in first said through gritted teeth.

"Pfft..." Li Jianshi couldn't help but laugh.

Ye Qingxuan, who was abstaining from sex, also had a smile on his face.

To maintain her persona, the young woman tried her best not to laugh, but her slightly trembling shoulders and reddened ears betrayed her.

"..." Wu Qiong stiffly turned his head, staring at the two guys expressionlessly.

"What are you looking at! Look again and I'll smash your dog head in!" The middle-aged man who came in later glared at Wu Qiong, then said to the young man, "Yin Haocang, hand over the 'Chaotic World Domination Technique,' and I'll spare your life!"

Wu Qiong was speechless. What the hell is the "Chaos Supreme Technique"?

"Pah!" Yin Haocang spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm. "That depends on whether you have the ability!"

"Hehehe..." The middle-aged man sneered, "A commoner is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime. You insignificant ant! You dare to obtain a secret manual? Fine, I'll show you the world-shaking difference between the Qi Condensation Realm and the Body Tempering Realm!"

What the hell is this? You two, the Condensing Meridian Realm and the Body Tempering Realm? So all that performance was just a bunch of noobs fighting each other!

Wu Qiong, having been interrupted repeatedly, had lost interest. He waved his hand and said, "Alright, change the wine to something normal, and then get the hell out of here."

"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir, for sparing my life!" The waiter bowed several times, then nimbly picked up the two jars of wine and ran off.

Seeing Wu Qiong sit down, Jie Se asked, "Brother Wu, are these two... putting on a monkey show?"

He felt that what the two men said was completely inconsistent with their actual strength.

"Master, this isn't Shaolin Temple," Wu Qiong laughed. "The real martial arts world is like this. Most martial artists only know some basic skills. Those who can reach the 'Pulse Condensation Realm' and cultivate true qi are already considered minor masters. Most of those ranked lower on the Human Ranking are only at the 'Aperture Opening Realm' level. 'Great Perfection of Acquired' means one in ten thousand powerful figures. 'Unity of Heaven and Man' means one in ten thousand martial arts prodigies. As for the Innate Realm... those are all legendary figures."

While urging the group to eat, Wu Qiong said, "In the eyes of people in the martial arts world, those on the Heavenly Ranking are all at the Innate Realm. As for things like the 'Daoist Natural Realm,' they've never even heard of them."

"I see," Jie Se sighed. "It was my ignorance."

Wu Qiong was putting food into Xiaobai and Shi'er's bowls, and said with a smile, "So Master, don't complain about your status as a monk. After all, power comes at a price."

"Then, Brother Wu," Jie Se took a bite of meat and asked, "what price did you pay?"

Wu Qiong said calmly, "Everything."

Apart from the name.

"Brother Wu, you..." Jie Se frowned.

"Master, I was just joking." Wu Qiong chuckled, changing the subject: "Let's eat first, I think this fish is cooked quite well..."

Before he could finish speaking, a long knife flew over in a spinning motion and landed squarely on the edge of the plate of fish, blocking Wu Qiong's outstretched chopsticks.

"...Can't even a meal be eaten in peace." Wu Qiong put down his chopsticks and sighed.

Not far away, the middle-aged man stepped on Yin Haocang and searched his arms for the secret manual: "Hehehe, wouldn't it have been better if you had just handed it over earlier?"

Yin Haocang gritted his teeth and said, "Kill me if you dare! Otherwise, what goes around comes around! Three...three..."

An inexplicable pressure appeared in the inn, and he couldn't utter the rest of his words.

"Huh?" The middle-aged man stepping on him was startled and turned his head. He saw a pair of eyes, a pair of emotionless eyes.

This man was Wu Qiong. He calmly said, "Robbery? Hand over the secret manual."

The middle-aged man silently handed over the secret manual.

He wasn't stupid. At first glance, this young man seemed to have no martial arts skills, but the pressure he exerted just now was very real. This meant that he was more than one level stronger than him. Moreover, the woman, Taoist priest, and monk who were with him were clearly extraordinary people, so he figured that the young man was probably not much different.

A wise person knows when to yield; if you lose a secret manual, you can find another one, but if you lose your life, you lose everything.

"..." Wu Qiong silently accepted the manual.

He just wanted an excuse to beat them up, but he didn't expect...

Wu Qiong looked at the manual in his hand; the five imposing characters on the cover shone brightly:

The Chaos Overlord Technique!

However, this is just a green guide.

"I have a preliminary idea, and I wonder if you two agree with it." Wu Qiong had come up with a solution, and he was about to explain what his idea was when...

"Agreed," the two replied in unison.

Wu Qiong asked curiously, "I haven't even explained what this idea is yet, why did you two agree so readily?"

The two, who were mortal enemies just moments before, exchanged a glance. Yin Haocang respectfully said, "Great hero, your demeanor is like the full moon on the fifteenth night of the lunar month, or the midday sun—so unique and dazzling. I believe your idea is the most reasonable."

Simply put, they had no choice. The secret manual was in the hands of someone else, and that person's strength was unfathomable. What could they do but agree? Refuse? They weren't stupid; those fools who didn't know what was good for them were already long gone.

"Alright, then I'll tell you." Wu Qiong smiled outwardly, but inwardly he was relieved.

Fortunately, he was taken away and made a disciple by the "Sword Master" as soon as he transmigrated. Otherwise, if he had been put into the simple and honest world of martial arts right after transmigrating, he would probably have died countless times by now.

"My idea is this," Wu Qiong said, taking a sip of tea, "why don't you two each make a copy?"

Seeing the two dumbfounded men, he continued, "Judging from your expressions, this manual doesn't seem to have been passed down from your sect. Since you obtained it by chance, why not make a few more copies and sell them? If you're worried about it being stolen, each of you can make a copy and then hand the original over to the authorities, wouldn't that be fine?"

Wu Qiong's words seemed to open a door to a new world for the two of them. The middle-aged man murmured, "So that's how it works..."

His eyes lit up, and he said to Yin Haocang with a beaming smile, "Young...Brother Yin, I was wrong before, and I apologize to you. I think what the hero said makes sense. What do you think?"

Yin Haocang nodded: "Anyway, I wasn't seriously injured. Since that's the case, I'll make a copy tonight and then present the original to you with both hands. What do you think, Brother Hu?"

The middle-aged man's name was Hu Kun.

After reaching a consensus, the two thanked Wu Qiong together.

"No need for thanks," Wu Qiong smiled and handed the manual to Yin Haocang.

Yin Haocang took the manual, but... Wu Qiong's hand still gripped the manual tightly.

Yin Haocang looked up in surprise, only to see Wu Qiong smiling gently as he slowly said, "The secret manual plus the money for the idea, a total of twenty taels, thank you."

"..."
