Heaven rewards diligence, but there are always fairies plotting against me.

"Lin Wanqin, you actually killed your husband's good brother."

At this moment, more than twenty people emerged from the forest, each of them a master.

Lei Hu, in particular, possessed formidable strength at the Qi Refining Realm, which exerted immense pressure on others.

Lei Hu was also surprised. As soon as he arrived, he saw Lin Wanqin stab Wu Fei twice with her sword.

They died a terrible death.

However, Lei Hu didn't care.

Wouldn't it be better if fewer people shared the money?

Moreover, after winning over Lin Wanqin, this charming woman would belong to him—killing two birds with one stone!

"Lei Hu, Wu Fei colluded with you to harm my Lin family and my husband. Today, I will make you pay for your crimes in blood!!!"

Lin Wanqin said indignantly.

"Hmm, do you have that ability?"

Lei Hu sneered, "How about I compromise? You submit to me, and I can guarantee the Lin family's safety. In the future, our Lei family and the Lin family will grow together, how about that?"

"That's just wishful thinking."

Lin Wanqin cursed.

Lei Hu's face turned cold: "You really don't know what's good for you. Do you really want to see your entire family wiped out? It's fine if you die, but think about your whole family. Are they willing to be buried with you?"

"You think you can take me for granted?"

"Hahaha, you're just at the Body Tempering Realm, what makes you think you can fight me?"

"Hmph, that's not necessarily true."

"court death."

Seeing that Lin Wanqin was still so stubborn even when she was about to die, Lei Hu roared and revealed his murderous intent.

With a stomp of his foot, he transformed into a ferocious tiger descending a mountain, unleashing a torrent of energy as he charged fiercely toward Lin Wanqin!

"Kill! Leave no one alive!" Lei Hu's men drew their gleaming steel knives and charged towards the Lin family's convoy like wolves.

"Lin family disciples, make your move!" Elder Lin Ding's eyes were bloodshot. He immediately drew his sword and led the Lin family members to meet the attack head-on.

In an instant, the camp was filled with the glint of swords, the roar of shouts, and the clanging of metal.

"You stubborn fool! Today I'll cripple you and see what you can use to stop me!" Lei Hu's face was ferocious, and the heavy knife in his hand slashed down at Lin Wanqin with a piercing whistling sound.

However, faced with this powerful blow, Lin Wanqin not only did not back down, but a mocking look appeared on her cold face.

boom!

The next moment, an incomparably powerful and terrifying shockwave exploded outwards from Lin Wanqin!

The hem of his robes fluttered in the wind, and the oppressive aura unique to Qi Refining Realm experts swept out like a mountain.

"What?! You...you actually broke through to the Qi Refining Realm?!" Lei Hu's smile froze on his face, his pupils suddenly shrank to the size of pinpoints, and the arrogance in his eyes was instantly replaced by shock.

But there's no going back in this world.

"Hiss hiss hiss!"

Lin Wanqin gave him no chance to react. The sword in her hand transformed into a shower of light, its sword energy as swift as a snake's tongue, leaving no trace.

Although the two had the same cultivation level, Lei Hu knew that Lin Wanqin had once cultivated in the Divine Sword Sect and knew an extremely profound sword technique.

Therefore, in terms of martial arts skills, he is no match for him at all.

Lei Hu hastily raised his sword to defend, but as expected, he lost the initiative and was instantly suppressed by the fierce sword wind.

The sound of metal tearing through flesh echoed continuously.

Caught off guard, Lei Hu was instantly slashed with several deep, bone-revealing gashes, and blood gushed out like a fountain.

The more he fought, the more alarmed he became, and his steps became frantic. Faced with Lin Wanqin's swordsmanship, which flowed like mercury, he could only retreat helplessly, completely powerless to fight back.

"Damn it! How can you be so strong!" Lei Hu roared. Due to excessive blood loss, his vision began to darken, and his movements became increasingly slow.

Lin Wanqin's eyes were icy cold. With a flick of her wrist, the longsword drew a stunning arc of light, directly avoiding Lei Hu's last struggle. Like a poisonous dragon emerging from its cave, it cleanly and neatly pierced through his shoulder with a soft thud, pinning him to the ground!

With a "bang," the head of the Lei family was defeated so decisively!

"No, let's talk this out..."

Before Lei Hu could finish speaking, the longsword severed his head.

Lei Hu is dead!!!

Upon seeing this, the Lin family disciples were filled with boundless morale.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"If Lei Hu dies, you will all die too!"

In a short time, several members of the Lei family died by the knife.

Lin Wanqin moved across the battlefield, and in a few breaths, she took care of several more people.

During this time, Chu Chang was protected by several members of the Lin family and did not encounter any danger.

Although he was confident that he could protect himself, it seemed that he didn't need to take action.

And so, moments later, the entire Lei family was killed by a hail of swords, their blood staining the entire forest red.

Inside the Four Directions City.

On the way back, the Lin family members were filled with laughter and joy.

The Lei family was defeated, and they finally got to hold their heads high for once.

After Chu Chang returned to the Lin family, Lin Wanqin led him to the courtyard: "Chang, we owe you a lot this time. Here is five hundred taels of silver! Please accept it."

Chu Chang looked at the large wooden box and didn't stand on ceremony; he knew it was time for him to leave.

After all, Lin Wanqin is a married woman, and it's impossible for her to keep him living here forever.

"Mrs. Lin, I'm leaving now! Take care of yourself."

"Well, I've been quite busy lately, so I can't keep you here. But, if there's a chance in the future, I... I'll come find you."

Lin Wanqin had previously promised Gu Lingshuang that she would let Chu Chang go back once she had finished her business.

So, no matter how reluctant I am, I can't leave him here.

To be honest, Chu Chang was a little reluctant to part with Lin Wanqin, this gentle and considerate beautiful woman, but he knew that he couldn't stay here forever.

The difference in status between the two people is simply too great.

This left Chu Chang feeling somewhat dejected. After hesitating for a moment, Chu Chang said, "Madam Lin, before I leave, could I ask you for a favor, just this once..."

"Oh, this..."

Lin Wanqin never expected that this honest and unassuming young man would say such a thing.

A blush rose to her cheeks, and then she nodded gently: "Alright then."

As she spoke, she slowly took off her clothes!

Chu Chang: "…………"

What's going on here?

"Madam, what are you doing?"

Lin Wanqin rolled her eyes at him: "Didn't you want to?"

Chu Chang knew that Lin Wanqin had misunderstood.

Is he that kind of person?

"Madam, it's not about that. It's like this, I suspect there's something unclean in the village where I live!"

After thinking for a moment, Chu Chang decided to tell Lin Wanqin the truth.

After all, Lin Wanqin is a Qi Refining Realm expert, so she might be able to understand some things.

In the evening, Chu Chang brought Lin Wanqin to the small mountain village where he lived.

I lost both my parents when I was young, and now all that's left of my family is a dilapidated house. Besides that, I don't have any other possessions to cherish.

However, there was one person he couldn't let go of.

That's my uncle's daughter, my younger sister Chu Hong.

These past few days, my uncle's family has been preparing to marry my younger sister, Chu Hong, to Old Man Li from the village.

This old man, Li, is quite strange.

He used to be an ordinary person, and even though he was quite old, he couldn't find a wife.

For some reason, after disappearing for many days, he suddenly reappeared and made a fortune.

So, he plans to marry his sister.

My uncle was a greedy man who didn't care about the age difference. He took the money and wanted my sister to marry him.

But after becoming a martial arts practitioner, Chu Chang always felt that the old man Li was strange, exuding a cold aura.

After telling Lin Wanqin about this, Lin Wanqin decided to come and see for herself.

We returned to that simple yet clean little house.

Chu Chang continued his analysis: "This old man Li used to be an honest farmer, one of the poorest households in our village. Later, he couldn't even afford the land rent anymore, and without land to farm, he would carry a tattered basket and go deep into the mountains and forests every day, saying he wanted to try his luck digging for some ginseng."

"Unexpectedly, after a two-week trip into the mountains, he came back completely rich! Not only did he renovate his house into a large brick house, but he also ate lavish meals every day. The key point is, he frequently visited women..."

"Oh? How did you know?" Lin Wanqin raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Some villagers go to the city to sell grain, and I've seen him come out of those alleys several times. He walks with a brisk pace," Chu Chang said with a sigh. "This old man is almost seventy years old, but he's even more robust than a young man. His health is truly extraordinary."

Lin Wanqin's eyes narrowed slightly. An old and frail farmer went into the mountains and not only gained wealth and women, but also became stronger.

Suddenly, something occurred to her, and she said in a low voice, "Ah Chang, this old man Li, I'm afraid he's not human anymore!"
