My wife is a reborn big boss

Wu Qiong walked slowly, feeling the woman's cold eyes fixed on his back. He turned around and saw Su Mubai staring at him without any attempt to hide her gaze. He opened his mouth, unsure of what to say, and could only turn back and continue walking forward in silence.

After walking for a while, Wu Qiong couldn't help but turn back, and Su Mubai was still looking at him coldly.

Wu Qiong hesitated for a long time, then sighed and turned back to continue walking.

After this happened several times, when Wu Qiong turned around again, Su Mubai asked, "Is something the matter?"

"No, no. Ha...haha." Wu Qiong laughed awkwardly, then turned back and continued to wriggle forward.

Su Mubai frowned, quickly stepped forward, and walked side by side with Wu Qiong.

Wu Qiong turned his head, and the setting sun shone on the two of them, gilding them with a layer of orange-red gold light.

"Looking at it this way, she's just an ordinary pretty young lady, so why am I so afraid of her?" Wu Qiong's mind was blank. He didn't notice that Su Mubai beside him was being stared at by him. Although he was still walking forward expressionlessly, his ears were slowly turning red.

"What kind of martial arts are you practicing?" Su Mubai asked, feeling uncomfortable being stared at.

Coming back to his senses from his daydreaming, Wu Qiong turned his head and looked at Su Mubai, who remained expressionless and facing forward even while speaking to him. He suddenly relaxed and smiled, "Miss Su, unless they are close relatives, I doubt anyone in the martial world would tell others about their background. Just like you wouldn't tell me if I asked you."

"The Primordial Chaos Technique of Heaven and Earth." Su Mubai uttered it without the slightest pause, as if he didn't need to think.

"What?" Wu Qiong stopped in surprise and looked up at the beautiful woman in front of him.

Qiankun Hunyuan... What a cringeworthy name.

"The Qiankun Hunyuan Jue is divided into three volumes."

"Flying Star, once mastered, will make both your movement and attacks as fast as a shooting star."

"Rotation, using the opponent's force against them, no matter what kind of skill the opponent uses, can redirect the force and counterattack against the opponent."

"Annihilation, with a single strike, shatters the void, and all things turn into nothingness."

"When the three volumes are combined into one, the universe can be reversed, and heaven and earth can be turned upside down."

"Could it be... that the future Demon Emperor of the Underworld is actually a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) girl?" Wu Qiong fell into deep thought.

Su Mubai slightly raised his head and looked at Wu Qiong.

After staring at each other for a long time, Wu Qiong awkwardly turned his head away: "Miss Su, we've only met by chance, why are you..."

Su Mubai narrowed his eyes slightly: "I thought we were friends."

Wu Qiong lowered his head and remained silent. Su Mubai looked at Wu Qiong's face shrouded in shadow, and for the first time since his rebirth, he felt uneasy.

After a long silence, Wu Qiong chuckled softly, shook his head, then raised his head with a bright smile, cupped his hands, and said, "Yes, we are already friends. So, let me reintroduce myself. My name is Wu Qiong, the 'Qiong' meaning 'poor as much as penniless.' May I ask for your name, young lady?"

"My name is Su Mubai, Bai as in 'poor and penniless'." Su Mubai cupped her hands in imitation of Wu Qiong's manner, a bright smile appearing on her cold face, as if the ice of ten thousand years had thawed, and a ray of sunset enveloped her, as if coating her with a faint orange glow. Even her long and curled eyelashes seemed to dance with sunlight like golden dust. This picturesque scene was deeply, deeply imprinted in Wu Qiong's mind, and would never fade.

......

The two walked leisurely, but in the grove at the end of the road ahead, a premeditated ambush was taking place.

A group of masked men dressed in black surrounded a caravan of镖队 (escorts/cargo).

"Hand over the goods, and we'll leave you with your bodies intact," said the man in black, presumably the leader, in a deliberately low, hoarse voice.

Most of the镖局 (security escort agency) members were lying on the ground, their fates unknown. The seven or eight people still standing were also at their last gasp.

"Miss, someone has leaked the news. We'll hold them off while you take the supplies and break out to the south. We'll have backup in Anzhou City," the old man, who seemed to be the leader of the group, whispered to the girl beside him.

The girl frowned slightly and bit her lower lip with her teeth, clearly weighing the pros and cons.

Seeing that the镖局 (escort agency) members didn't answer him but instead whispered among themselves, the masked leader grew impatient and waved his hand, "Hmph! Killing you all and taking the goods is the same! Attack! Leave no one alive!"

In the nick of time, a young man among the escort agency suddenly sprang up and struck the old man leading the group in the back with a palm strike.

"You!" Caught off guard, the old man heard the whoosh of wind behind him and tried to dodge to the right, but it was too late. Fortunately, although he was at his limit, his skill was still far beyond what a young man could match. The old man felt his internal energy reversed, and his internal organs felt indescribably uncomfortable. He endured the discomfort, turned around to protect the girl, and finally couldn't help but feel a sweet taste in his throat, vomiting a mouthful of blood.

"Old Master Yan!" The young woman quickly helped the old man up, then glared angrily at the traitor: "Cao Changchun, what are you doing!"

The young man who had injured the old man smiled and said, "Miss, I, Cao Changchun, have never forgotten your kindness to me over the years. But my life has only just begun, and I shouldn't die in obscurity in a place like this. As the saying goes, 'Better to die for a friend than for yourself.' These people are only here for this escort mission. After I injured Elder Yan, you have no way out and will surely fight to the death here. Only in this way can I make my way out. Farewell."

Before he finished speaking, Cao Changchun had already rushed out of the grove.

He was secretly pleased, as the grove's exit was just a step away. Suddenly, a cold glint caught his eye.

Cao San's heart tightened. He drew his longsword from behind his back, flicked his wrist, and the sword trembled slightly. A metallic clang rang out as the sword clashed with the suddenly appearing blade.

"How, is this possible..." He felt the whole world spinning in his eyes. In the spinning, he saw a headless body holding a broken sword, slowly falling down. Cao San's vision went black, and he knew nothing more.

"I've already said it," the leader of the men in black said, wiping the blood off his knife and sheathing it: "I will leave none of them alive."

The members of the escort agency stared in shock at their leader in black; no one had seen how he had made his move, except...

A barely perceptible hint of mockery flashed in the eyes of the girl who was being protected behind the old man. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly heard the voices of a young couple talking slowly coming from outside the woods.

"Since we're friends, it's too formal to keep calling you 'Miss Su,' so I'll call you Xiaobai from now on."

"no."

"Okay, Xiaobai."

"No, you're not allowed to call me that."

"Okay, Xiaobai."

Do you want to die?

"I'm sorry, Xiaobai."

"..."

The girl, who was about to attack, temporarily suppressed her urge upon seeing someone arrive, and the men in black also stopped tacitly. Both sides turned to look at the newcomer.

How could it be her? The girl was secretly startled when she saw Su Mubai, and then noticed that there was a man accompanying him. Her eyes darted around, and she said pitifully, "Young heroes over there, these people are here for our escort mission. You should leave quickly and not be implicated!"

"Yo ho." Wu Qiong looked at the two groups of people facing off. One of them, judging from their attire, should be a caravan of镖师 (bodyguards/escorts). Although they outnumbered the masked men in black on the other side, their strength was clearly inferior to the other side in terms of the situation.

"Thank you for reminding me, young lady." Wu Qiong bowed to the woman who kindly advised him to leave, then turned and walked south through the woods with Su Mubai.

"This guy actually stood by and watched me die," the girl cursed inwardly.

The leader of the men in black, who had been ignored, suddenly appeared behind Wu Qiong and his companion, drawing his sword.

"stop!"

Wu Qiong turned around, and a blade of light as sharp as a bolt of lightning came into view. He stood still, and just as the blade was about to strike him, a finger as white as jade slid across Wu Qiong's face and lightly flicked the side of the blade. The leader of the men in black felt an immense force coming from the blade and had no choice but to retreat diagonally backward to dissipate the force.

"Impossible! How can this woman be so strong!" The leader of the men in black endured the pain from his tiger's mouth, secretly shocked.

Wu Qiong sighed: "Isn't it good to be alive? Everyone's life is given to them by their parents, why don't you cherish it?"
