Chapter 7, My Heart is Too Soft
It seems that such behavior from Xuanyuan is not recognized, yet it is also not denied. In the end, he murmured to himself:
Come here, go to the mass grave and take a look for me. Yonglai and Yongfu are only helping Young Master Yuejue deal with a corpse, so why are they coming back so late? Do they not want this month's salary? It seems I need to teach them a good lesson, lest they forget the authority of their adoptive father after following Young Master Yuejue.
The sky had gradually darkened, and Yin Zhenluo sat quietly on a smooth, flat rock not far from the tree house, watching Xuanyuan practice. A serene smile adorned her face, and her beautiful eyes appeared somewhat dreamy, as if these past few days had been the most carefree of her life.
Three days passed just like that. As expected by Yin Zhenluo, Xuanyuan directly reached the strength of nine bulls within the short span of the next three days
Xuan Yuan was unaware that, in the shadows, a disaster had already begun to unfold
Various venomous words gushed forth from the mouths of the two brothers
Qian Kuai, around forty years old, is strong and robust, serving as one of the stewards in the Moon Mansion. He is a peak figure among fighters, possessing the strength of nine bulls.
What is going on here
Xuanyuan wore a proud expression as he searched the two individuals, promptly uncovering a total of six hundred Fighter Coins and two thousand four hundred Warrior Coins
Entering the Warcraft Forest
How can I endure this? A mere commoner dares to lay hands on someone from the Yue residence, which is simply a blatant disregard for the people of the Yue residence
However, for the current Xuanyuan, it is already sufficient; the carnivores are brave and formidable
The two brothers glared with resentment and anger, their faces twisted in a fierce expression, as if they wished to swallow Xuanyuan alive and whole.
There is something called talent, akin to the money in the Moon Palace. Upon reaching this age, one has merely reached the pinnacle of a fighter, which illustrates how arduous the path of cultivation is. Without talent, it is fundamentally impossible to succeed.
I want to personally castrate him
Qian Yong brought Qian Yong and Qian Yongfu back to the hall of the steward in the Yue residence
It seems that the servants of the Yuefu family are all extremely wealthy
Within the Moon Palace
Some individuals have practiced for decades, yet they can only reach the pinnacle of a fighter, at most gaining the effects of longevity and a slowdown in aging. However, now Xuanyuan has achieved this in just six days, which is truly remarkable.
At that moment, another servant let out a terrible scream. Guxing bit down fiercely, tearing off a large chunk of flesh from his buttocks, exposing the femur, with blood flowing profusely. This servant cried out for his father and mother as if he were a little girl being violently assaulted. With the strength of six oxen, Guxing found it naturally easy to deal with him
Hahaha ... ... Xuanyuan smiled so widely that his mouth could almost reach his ears, expressing immense joy; nothing could bring more happiness than doing such things.
Two house servants from the Moon Mansion were cursing and searching, when at that moment, they noticed a man and a wolf approaching them
Qian Kuai immediately understood what was going on. That day, the young man had only the strength of one ox. Although he did not use all his strength to whip him to death, those few lashes were not something an ordinary person could endure. Just a few days had passed, and that young man had actually fully recovered from his injuries and even possessed the strength of five oxen, which left Qian Kuai feeling quite incredulous
After all, he is still a child, too soft-hearted
I also do not know. When I went there, the two brothers were almost eaten by the monsters. The two of them were babbling all the way, and I could not make out what they were saying.
Many wicked servants were trained and taught by him. Qian Yonglai and Qian Yongfu both had good qualities, and he even took them as adopted sons, giving them his surname.
In these past few days, the solitary star has been accompanying Xuanyuan, seemingly benefiting from some good fortune and resources. Its silver fur has become even more lustrous, and with the daily consumption of dozens of kilograms of meat, combined with the natural spiritual energy gathered by Xuanyuan, the unintentional cleansing of the essence of heaven and earth has allowed the solitary star to grow significantly.
Xuanyuan glanced at the Lone Star and made a prediction; the Lone Star possessed at least the strength of six bulls, significantly stronger than before. Given the sharpness of the Lone Star's fangs, Xuanyuan did not dare to let it take a bite.
***
Hehe, the money manager has stated that whoever can find this kid will be rewarded with 300 warrior coins. Let's start searching first
After tidying up the spoils of battle, Xuanyuan took out the dagger in his hand, intending to kill them himself. However, at the moment he swung the dagger, he ultimately could not bring himself to stab down. He sighed to himself:
When they discovered Xuanyuan, both individuals were taken aback, their faces filled with astonishment
"Foster father, you must take someone to the mass grave tomorrow, cut off that brat's limbs, and torture him mercilessly. Do not let him die; smear salt on his wounds, making his life worse than death."
One of the servants, filled with rage, was about to roar when he suddenly saw Xuanyuan slap him with a swift motion. A visible stream of white energy accompanied the strike, landing directly on the face of the servant, who possessed the strength of six oxen. The sound of the slap echoed sharply, and several slightly yellowed teeth flew into the air, tracing a beautiful arc. Blood mixed with saliva gushed from his mouth, and the servant was sent spinning like a top. After three or four rotations in place, his head buzzed, and as he gazed at the myriad of golden stars, he fainted.
With the increase in Xuanyuan's strength, his daily food intake has also been continuously rising, with a maximum consumption of up to 10 pounds of meat in one meal
"Yes, Master Qian." A subordinate named Qian Yong, who had followed Qian Kuai for a long time and possessed the strength of six bulls, responded and immediately left.
Hahaha, we have finally found you, you little rascal. You filthy dog, how dare you make us search for you for so long. A mere commoner like you dares to provoke our Moon Mansion; you truly are tired of living.
If it had been three days ago, Xuanyuan might have truly been cowardly, but now Xuanyuan possesses the strength of nine bulls, feeling immensely powerful. Even an ordinary stone could be crushed to dust, let alone the two individuals before him
People like you, lowly scum, deserve to die a thousand times over for your sins. Hurry up and bow to us a few hundred times, and hand over the money you have stolen. Perhaps we might spare your life. By the way, that wolf beside you has fine fur; if you skin it alive and make a wolf cloak, it will surely please Young Master Yuejue.
From an ordinary person with less than the strength of one ox, to suddenly achieving the strength of nine oxen in just six days, this is simply unimaginable
Seeing the dire situation of the two brothers, Qian Kuai glanced at Qian Yong and said coldly
Because one must be able to keep up materially while cultivating, otherwise, one will only deplete their own body. According to Yin Zhenluo, cultivators who have reached a higher realm no longer consume such meat, but instead take elixirs to replenish their strength. Moreover, elixirs contain fewer impurities, unlike this meat, which is laden with impurities, and the nutrients that the body can absorb are very limited.
Yin Zhenluo, a stunning beauty resembling a fairy from a painting, quietly gazed at Xuanyuan, carrying out all of this without a trace of expression on her face
Just as Xuanyuan completed his training, suddenly, from over a hundred meters away, came the sound of angry curses.
Moon Desolate City
After dark
After speaking, Xuanyuan directly grabbed the legs of the two individuals and threw them into the creek, allowing them to drift downstream with the current
Indeed, that rascal has taken away the money we prepared to show our respect to you. You must stand up for us
Looking at the two foul-smelling adopted sons, Qian Kuai furrowed his brows inexplicably, feeling a sense of disgust, and waved his hand dismissively
After finishing his meal, Xuanyuan sat cross-legged by the stream, wearing only a pair of shorts, and continued to practice the "Heavenly Dragon Scale Refining Technique." Since he had run out of clean clothes, Xuanyuan contemplated making a trip to Moon Desolate City in a few days for some shopping. With his original 936 Fighter Coins, along with the Fighter Coins obtained from two evil slaves, his total assets now amounted to 4,636 Fighter Coins, which could buy quite a few good items
These two adopted sons have shown him considerable filial piety in their daily lives, which is why he is particularly indulgent towards them, arranging for them to be by the side of the unruly Young Master Yuejue
A servant of the Moon Mansion, who was bitten by the solitary star and was bleeding profusely, fainted from the pain, though he was not in significant danger to his life
Upon returning home, he skillfully slaughtered the wild boar. During the process, Xuanyuan felt quite troubled; the dagger at his waist did not produce the miraculous effect it had when he assassinated the demon bear. However, its sharpness was beyond doubt, and Xuanyuan did not dwell on it too much
"Foster father, save me!"
From the two servants of the Yue residence, a force emerged that far exceeded that of Qian Yonglai and Qian Yongfu. One possessed a strength of five bulls, while the other was even more powerful, possessing a strength of six bulls
The essence of the sun and moon, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, merged into Xuanyuan's body, allowing him to feel that his skin became increasingly firm, and his strength gradually grew, as if his entire body were breathing. Xuanyuan felt confident that even if he covered his mouth and nose, he could still breathe freely through his skin, far exceeding the limits he could have imagined in his previous life. This is the wondrous nature of cultivation.
Only Qian Yonglai and Qian Yongfu were seen, their limbs twisted and faces filled with terror, as they looked at Qian Kuai as if they had seen a great savior in their lives
Xuan Yuan was fortunate to have hunted a wild boar weighing over 600 jin. After bringing it back to his tree house, he passed by the mass grave while it was still light out. He noticed that the two unfortunate slaves had not yet been eaten, but they were being pecked mercilessly by a group of crows, causing them to scream in agony. Xuan Yuan secretly delighted in this and paid little attention, heading straight home
That's all. I do not have the habit of killing. If I can spare someone, I will. Whether you live or die depends on your luck
This damned little brat actually dared to lay hands on the two adopted sons of Steward Qian, simply showing utter disregard for our Yue residence. Young Master Yue Jue is furious and has now issued an order: within a radius of several dozen miles around the mass grave, we must dig three feet into the ground to find that brat, as he has caused us great suffering
"Foster father, save me!"
"Foster father, who is that kid? The one who collided with Young Master Yuejue's carriage a few days ago. That kid actually possesses the strength of five bulls. He didn't die, and the one you struck with the whip is the one who has put us in this situation."
They have been searching for three days and three nights. If that brat is found, he must be made to suffer a fate worse than death! The two were filled with hatred, and since they already knew about Xuanyuan's intelligence, which possessed the strength of five bulls, the people they dispatched were at least servants with the strength of five bulls.
Take them down and settle them properly. Tomorrow, go with me to the mass grave to have a look.
If you two were to bow to me a few hundred times and willingly hand over all the money you have, I might consider sparing your lives. Otherwise, looking at your wretched bodies, even a starving stray dog would not mind having you for a meal. Xuanyuan coldly laughed, as if he were looking at fools.
At this moment, the sky has gradually darkened, making him feel quite impatient
Finally, a portion of this wild boar, weighing over 600 pounds, will be processed into fresh meat, while another portion will be made into jerky, ensuring that we have food secured for at least ten days
Moreover, Xuanyuan could faintly sense the boiling of his muscles beneath his skin
