My wife is a reborn big boss

Wu Qiong suddenly felt a chill run down his spine and shivered.

The young woman beside him, Ms. Li, asked with concern, "Poor brother, what's wrong?"

Wu Qiong gave her an apologetic smile and did not reply.

A voice inside him told him that if he continued to travel with Li Jianshi, something bad would happen. So he decided to part ways with Miss Li here.

Of course, the more important reason was that he didn't want her to know what he was about to do.

As if sensing Wu Qiong's thoughts, Miss Li blinked and smiled sweetly, "Brother Qiong, are you really not planning to visit the Xuantian Sect? I would like to introduce you to our master and fellow disciples."

Wu Qiong shook his head frantically.

Are you kidding me? This little girl is the only direct descendant of the most favored sect leader of the Xuan Tian Sect in this generation. She definitely has a bunch of senior and junior brothers who are eager to protect her. If I go over there all eagerly, and then she clings to me and says she wants to be the mother of my future children, won't those young men cause a huge uproar?

Besides, what's the point of bullying a bunch of kids? Xuantian Sect is known for protecting its own, and he's going to slap them in the face. What if a bunch of weird elders and grand elders jump out and beat him up? He can't fight back, so why should he go looking for trouble?

This little girl is cunning in her work; she can think of things that I can think of too. Sure enough, the white lotus is black inside; I absolutely cannot fall for her tricks.

"Sigh, I actually wanted to see the grandeur of the number one sect in the world, but unfortunately I still need to earn a living, so I won't bother you." Wu Qiong sighed with regret.

Miss Li blinked her big eyes: "How about I give you money as a favor, to hire you to escort me back to the sect? Aren't you touched?"

Wu Qiong shook his head vigorously, saying, "I dare not move, I dare not move."

You need to be alive to earn money and also be alive to spend it.

Seeing that Wu Qiong refused to go no matter what, Miss Li sighed dejectedly: "Brother Qiong, in the stories told by storytellers, young heroes would rush to the girl's sect, and then persuade the elders who opposed their relationship one by one, and in the end, the lovers would be united in marriage."

If this is a story, then the storyteller who came up with it must have lost their mind; no one deserves to listen to their tales.

"So we are not characters in a story, but living, breathing people."

Seeing that she couldn't persuade him, the wicked girl had no choice but to give up.

She pulled a wad of silver notes from her bosom and casually swung them in front of her chest: "Could that poor brother do Shi'er a favor?"

Wu Qiong stared intently at her upper body, not at her unusually large breasts that were far beyond what a young girl should have, and quietly swallowed hard. "What's our relationship? Don't be so formal. Tell me, as long as it's not about taking you back to the mountain, I'll help you with anything."

Miss Li watched speechlessly as he half-catched, half-snatched the silver note from her hand. She had been suppressing her embarrassment by repeatedly waving the note in front of her chest! And now, all you did was focus on the note and not even look at my figure... What's going on here?!

Miss Li said irritably, "Recently, we received news from an inside source that the Nine Barbarian Tribes beyond the Great Wall seem to be planning to unite. If they really unite, their next step will be to invade the Central Plains. I would like to ask Brother Qiong to contact the major sects on behalf of my Xuantian Sect and invite them to come to Xuantian Sect as guests to discuss the matter of marching north to resist the barbarians."

There was no inside agent, of course. In Li Jianshi's previous life, a peerless hero with great talent and ambition emerged from the nine tribes of the Northern Barbarians. He unified the nine tribes in three years and then invaded the Central Plains. After that war, the two great dynasties of Zhou and Qin, located in the Central Plains, were severely weakened, resulting in a decrease in their influence over Miao territory, Japan, and the Western Regions, which caused them a lot of trouble.

In her previous life, after succeeding as the sect leader of the Xuantian Sect, she went to great lengths to unite various sects and quell the invasion of the Central Plains martial arts world by other foreign races.

Before the major sects, already devastated by their losses, could even recover, Su Mubai, having unified the Demonic Sect, emerged to wreak havoc on the martial world. It was during this very time that Wu Qiong in his previous life met that despicable man.

She watched helplessly as Wu Qiong and Su Mubai grew closer, while she was treated like a good brother by him because of her unspoken feelings.

What followed was a battle between good and evil. She originally planned to confess her feelings to Wu Qiong after annihilating the demonic sect.

But what followed was the devastating news that Wu Qiong had died for Su Mubai...

Having been given a second chance at life, she was determined to nip anything that could harm Wu Qiong in the bud. Accustomed to planning ahead, she hired Wu Qiong in advance to contact various sects, not only to prepare for the Northern Barbarian invasion but also to ensure Wu Qiong gained widespread recognition. Once Wu Qiong became a renowned righteous hero, even if Su Mubai, who had only recently emerged from seclusion, encountered him, his first impression would only be that of an enemy, thus eliminating the threat posed by that despicable man.

Miss Li smiled slightly, as if she had everything under control.

Completely oblivious to all this, Wu Qiong held the silver note to his nose and took a deep breath. Li Jianshi's fragrance filled his nostrils. Ah! The smell of money is truly intoxicating!

Li Jianshi's pretty face flushed slightly, and she covered her mouth with a soft laugh: "Poor brother, I smell even better. If you want to smell me, you can come find me."

Wu Qiong said seriously, "No, I'm just smelling the stench of money. By the way, how much silver is there?"

Five thousand taels.

"what?"

"If it's not enough, I'll give you more."

"..."

Is this the confidence of the number one sect in the world? At this moment, Wu Qiong seriously considered the possibility of marrying into the Xuan Tian Sect.

Li Jianshi took off the ring-shaped jade pendant hanging from his waist and handed it to Wu Qiong: "This is my master's token. After you arrive at the various sects, you can prove your identity by showing this jade pendant."

Seeing Wu Qiong accept the jade pendant, Miss Li stared at him intently and said softly, "Then... I'll be going?"

"Um."

Suddenly, the sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, Li, rushed forward and hugged Wu Qiong tightly, as if she wanted to crush herself into his body.

Feeling the magnificent object pressed against his chest, Wu Qiong, who had never been in love in his two lives, went completely blank.

Then he felt a wet, warm sensation on his cheek. When he came to his senses, he saw a beautiful face so close to his, flushed and with sparkling eyes.

For a moment, the two looked at each other in silence.

"Poor brother, this time... remember to wait for me..."

The girl's soft, sweet voice was tinged with a sob.

She turned around, not wanting the young man behind her to see the tears of joy streaming down her face, and used her light-footed skill to run away as fast as she could.

For some reason, Wu Qiong felt a lump in his throat. Watching the girl's receding figure, he was momentarily lost in thought.

The sun gradually sank below the horizon, and moonlight climbed onto his shoulders. Coming to his senses, Wu Qiong shook off the inexplicable melancholy in his heart and gave a self-deprecating laugh: "Are young girls this open-minded these days?"

He didn't know that in her past life, the girl wanted to wait for his return so she could confess her love to him, but all she received was news of his death, and the despair she felt at that moment and the madness that followed.

Wu Qiong turned around and walked towards the direction of Xien Manor.

"It's time to get down to business."
