Chaotic World of Martial Arts: I Have a Spirit Pearl of Desire

[Information 1: Senior Brother Gao Chengyang thought his fishing rod at home was too plain, so he just went and bought a Han Ding fishing rod, worth 120 taels.]

[Information 2: That evening, following your method, Senior Sister Yang Zhenzhen obtained fine sand, heated it in a pot, and then stepped on it barefoot! Her father, Yang Yan, saw this and scolded her for being ridiculous! But afterwards, Yang Zhenzhen felt that her feet, which had been unbearably itchy, seemed less itchy. She began to have faith in your method.]

[Information 3: Lin Hu's older brother, Feng Liqiang, needs women to fund his business and wants Lin Hu to find some pretty ones! Lin Hu plans to make a move on Xu Qiuxue ahead of time, and upon learning that she also has a younger sister, Xu Yue, he has instructed Zhao Er to keep an eye on both of them.]

"So that's how it is..."

Before we knew it, the sky had completely darkened, and the night breeze carried a slight chill.

Chen You followed Zhao Er discreetly, traversing rugged country roads until they finally arrived at a secluded courtyard in the neighboring village.

Chen You looked around at the somewhat dilapidated but sizable house and asked, "Why is Lin Hu living here?"

Zhao Er explained, "This place originally belonged to an honest family in the village. However, their son was a gambling addict and owed Tiger a huge sum of money in high-interest loans. In the end, he couldn't pay it back, so Tiger forced him to mortgage this mansion. Now, this has become Tiger's place to stay."

"Does he live alone?" Chen You asked casually, looking at the dark courtyard.

"He's usually all alone." Zhao Er chuckled and whispered with a wink, "There used to be two young women in the yard, I heard they were the daughter-in-law and daughter of the debtor, but Tiger sent them to the city to work to pay off the debt a while ago."

Chen You naturally knew exactly what "doing the work" meant.

His gaze suddenly turned cold, and a hint of disgust and murderous intent flashed in his deep eyes.

Lin Hu, who lends money at exorbitant interest rates and forces women into prostitution, is truly a complete and utter tyrant.

Zhao Er didn't notice the change in Chen You's eyes. He jogged forward and casually raised his hand to knock on the tightly closed wooden door.

"Knock knock knock!"

"Tiger Brother! It's me, Zhao Er!"

There was a moment of silence inside the door, followed by the impatient sound of shuffling shoes, and then Lin Hu called out, "What's the matter so late?"

"Chen You said he wants to talk to you about something."

"Oh?"

Inside the room, Lin Hu frowned, wondering to himself if this kid had finally seen the light.

The wooden door creaked open, revealing Lin Hu's tall and imposing figure behind it.

He was shirtless, with a fleshy face, and reeked of cheap alcohol.

Upon seeing Chen You standing outside the door, Lin Hu was slightly taken aback, then a smug sneer appeared on his face: "Kid, you've seen the light? Want to follow me from now on? I guarantee you'll live the high life, and you'll get your share of the benefits!"

Chen You lowered her head slightly, her expression hidden in the shadows, and her tone was unusually submissive: "Yes, I've figured it out. I'll have to thank Tiger for his care in the future."

"Hahaha! Okay! Let's go inside!"

Lin Hu burst into laughter, his guard completely down.

He stepped aside to clear the doorway, then swaggered into the house, pointing and gesturing as he went:

"You're quick to understand, kid. Tomorrow, you and I will go straight to her place and take care of that woman, Xu Qiuxue! Women, once you've done it a few times, they'll naturally submit, understand? That's called making it a fait accompli!!"

Lin Hu walked inside with his hands behind his back, spitting as he spoke, completely unaware that Chen You behind him had already gripped the wood-chopping knife at his waist.

"Yes, Tiger is right." Chen You's voice was calm and undisturbed.

"Oh, right, there's Xu Qiuxue's younger sister, Xu Yue. That girl is still a bit young, but anyone with eyes can see she's a stunning beauty in the making. I think in another two years…"

"Pfft!"

Just as Lin Hu turned his back to Chen You and walked to the center of the house, Chen You's sharp eyes swept around, confirming that there were indeed no other ambushes in the mansion.

In the next instant, his Three Yang Fist Qi and blood, which were at the perfect state, burst forth instantly. His figure flashed out like a ghost, and the sharp woodcutter's knife in his hand turned into a dazzling cold light, stabbing fiercely into Lin Hu's heart from behind!

The blade pierced the flesh, all the way to the hilt!

"You...you..."

Lin Hu shuddered violently, the intense pain causing him to let out a muffled groan like a wild beast.

Using the momentum, he lurched forward a few steps, knocking over the tables and chairs next to him.

He then turned around with difficulty, one hand covering his bleeding chest, the other hand trembling as he pointed at Chen You, his face filled with disbelief and terror.

"Chen You, you...you're insane!"

Zhao Er, who was standing to the side, was so terrified by the bloody scene that his legs went weak and his eyes twitched wildly.

But before Zhao Er could react, Chen You swung his knife backhand, creating a whistling wind, and viciously slashed at Zhao Er's neck!

"ah!!"

The screams stopped abruptly. Zhao Er clutched his neck, blood gushing from between his fingers, and collapsed heavily to the ground. He convulsed a couple of times and then fell silent.

"court death!"

Lin Hu flew into a rage. The excruciating pain fueled his ferocity. With a ferocious roar, he unleashed a powerful punch at Chen You, his large, fan-like hand carrying a gust of wind, clearly intending to take someone down with him even in his dying moments.

However, what greeted him was a calm and collected backhand punch from Chen You.

"Three Yang Fist!"

"boom!"

The two fists collided, producing a dull thud.

Lin Hu's massive body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing into the wooden table behind him and shattering it.

"You...you are a martial artist..." Lin Hu slumped among the wood chips, his face filled with horror and his eyes filled with terror.

Not only is he a martial artist, but in terms of strength, he is actually stronger than him!

Chen You slowly withdrew his fist, feeling a sense of exhilaration from the punch.

Lin Hu's desperate counterattack couldn't hurt him at all. On the contrary, his perfect fist power had already penetrated the flesh and shattered Lin Hu's internal organs.

"puff!"

Lin Hu coughed up a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs, his neck lolled to the side, and he was completely lifeless.

Chen You, always cautious, quickly stepped forward and stabbed each of them in the neck.

Afterwards, he carefully searched the house inside and out, and only after confirming that there was no one else there did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Soon, Chen You found fifteen taels of silver on Lin Hu and a pitiful two taels of silver in Zhao Er's pocket.

"It's quite fat." Chen You weighed the silver in his hand, feeling much more relaxed.

Looking at the two corpses on the ground, Chen You skillfully found ropes and heavy stones, tied the corpses up tightly, and dragged them to the river behind the house under the cover of night.

"Plop, plop."

With two muffled thuds, the heavy object fell into the water.

Chen You stood on the bank, quietly watching the two corpses slowly sink to the dark riverbed, disappearing in bubbles.

After washing the machete and the blood off his face, Chen You quickly went home.

Just as I entered the house, a dark figure appeared.

"Chen You, you're finally back!"

"Master's wife..."

Chen You was taken aback; Xu Qiuxue had actually been hiding by the door the whole time.

You know, it's winter now!

She's hiding behind the door, isn't she cold?

"Why are you hiding here? Come inside."

"I can't rest easy until you come back... Achoo!"

Just after she finished speaking, Xu Qiuxue sneezed.

Chen You instinctively grabbed Xu Qiuxue's small hand.

My little hands were ice cold.

"Master's wife, I... I'll warm it up for you!" Chen You didn't care whether the other party agreed or not, and directly pulled her into the house.

"Is the matter resolved?"

"Yes, it's resolved! Lin Hu and Zhao Er are both dead!"

"Are you alright?"

Xu Qiuxue nervously touched his chest.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Seeing Xu Qiuxue's nervous expression, Chen You felt a warmth in his heart.

"Master's wife, you'll catch a cold like this. I... I'll hug you and warm you up?"
