Shen Jingchuan instructed the boss to find several trucks to load the goods, follow him, transport them to his designated location, and settle the payment on the spot upon delivery.

The boss was initially a little hesitant, but when he saw Shen Jingchuan casually put the gold back into his bag, he thought, "Am I, a local, afraid of you?" He gritted his teeth and immediately ordered his men to drive three military trucks out of the warehouse, load them with the goods, and personally escorted the trucks to drive into the mountains with Shen Jingchuan.

Jimi drove ahead for more than half an hour until they found a secluded mountain valley surrounded by mountains on all sides. The view was completely blocked by the mountains, and there wasn't a single person in sight.

Shen Jingchuan saw that the location was suitable, so he told Jimi to stop the car and instructed the boss to unload all the goods on the open ground.

After several truckloads of goods were unloaded, Shen Jingchuan took out the twelve kilograms of gold bars from his spatial storage and handed them to the boss.

The shop owner took it and checked it carefully again, then weighed it to make sure it hadn't been switched. He beamed with joy and thanked the owner repeatedly.

The boss thought to himself, "I've hit the jackpot!" Shen Jingchuan thought to himself, "It's practically free!" In any case, they were both happy.

Shen Jingchuan turned to the guide and said:

"Jimi, you go back with me first, then come back here to pick me up in half an hour."

Jimi took the golden melon seed handed to him, as happy as a child—he'd hit the jackpot! He got in his car and drove off with his boss's convoy.

Once the convoy had completely disappeared, Shen Jingchuan spread his Divine Sense and scanned the area. There were hardly any living creatures within several miles.

With a slight thought, the machine guns, cannons, boxes of ammunition, C4, and pistols on the ground were instantly stored in his Storage Ring, and the empty space that was just filled with goods was now completely clean.

Shen Jingchuan didn't wait in the ravine; after resting for a while, he went outside.

After walking for about ten minutes out of the valley, we heard the sound of a car engine in the distance; the guide was driving back.

Shen Jingchuan opened the car door and got in. Jimi glanced at the empty mountain valley behind him out of the corner of his eye, his lips moved, but he didn't dare to ask.

Having witnessed this man setting up the aircraft cannon with his bare hands yesterday, he already found it mysterious and unpredictable. Now, with piles of guns and cannons vanishing into thin air, he didn't dare utter a single word and turned the car around to drive back.

Having received so much gold from Shen Jingchuan, Jimi diligently escorted him to the airport.

Back in the Capital, Shen Jingchuan went straight to Meng Ke's jade shop. After picking her up, the two went to their usual casual restaurant. After ordering, Meng Ke looked up at him and asked with concern, "How did things go?"

"It's fine, everything went smoothly." Shen Jingchuan suppressed a smile.

How could things not go smoothly? The space is packed with guns and explosives, enough to blast open even the city gates. This time when I go back, I'll have even more confidence in this other world.

"Oh, right," Meng Ke picked up a piece of food, then suddenly looked up, "My mom said she wants to meet you."

Shen Jingchuan's heart skipped a beat. He thought to himself, "Here it comes. Sure enough, having a woman means having no shortage of troubles. It's a happy kind of trouble, though."

He hesitated for two seconds, then nodded and said:

"Okay, let's wait a while. I'll prepare the gift for my future mother-in-law first."

"Get lost," Meng Ke laughed and rolled her eyes at him. "My mom hasn't even agreed yet, how can she be your mother-in-law?"

"You don't understand. A mother-in-law likes her son-in-law more and more the more she looks at him," Shen Jingchuan raised an eyebrow. "I reckon the old lady will be even happier than you when she sees me."

"You're just being vain," Meng Ke said, spitting at him with a laugh.

After dinner, Shen Jingchuan escorted Meng Ke home. By the time he returned to his own residence, it was already past ten o'clock at night. On a whim, he directly traveled back to the west courtyard of the Shen Residence in the other world.

He stood in the courtyard, pondering—these firearms are not like cold weapons; they are far too powerful. Even if the people from another world don't know how to use them, if a fire breaks out or they accidentally discharge, it would be no laughing matter.

He immediately turned around and went to the storeroom, taking all the guns and ammunition he had brought and stored there before and putting them back into his storage space.

Fortunately, the space was large enough that even after packing all the items in, it only took up less than half the space, leaving plenty of room for daily use. After packing everything up, he walked towards the east courtyard.

After being tossed and turned for the past few days, he was seething with anger. Knowing that Bai Ruoli was too delicate to withstand such an ordeal, he decided to go straight to Lin Qingyao, that gluttonous girl.

Lin Qingyao was already asleep inside. He pushed open the door and went straight to bed without any ceremony. After three rounds of this, Lin Qingyao pleaded for mercy in a soft voice before he finally let her go. After resting for a while, he got up and went to Bai Ruoli's room.

Screw it, I'm not cultivating anymore. Cultivation is nothing compared to having my own wife. It seems there's some truth to what the books say about cultivators not seeking dao companion; it disrupts their spiritual focus.

As dawn broke, his anger, which had been building up for days, finally subsided.

Watching Bai Ruoli drift off to sleep, her temples damp with sweat, softly clinging to her forehead, Shen Jingchuan gently brushed away the stray hairs glistening with sweat with his fingertips. Then, he condensed a wisp of Spiritual Qi and cast a Body Cleansing Instruction on the two people on the bed.

Bai Ruoli seemed to sense something, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and finally, she was so tired that she only let out a soft moan, turned over, and fell into a deep sleep again.

He sat cross-legged on the bench beside the bed, swallowed a Qi-Nourishing Qi Nourishing Pill, and silently circulated the Five Phases Spirit Guiding Instruction- Guiding Technique throughout his body. The medicinal power of the pill slowly dissolved along his meridians, completely dispelling the fatigue of the night, and the Spiritual Qi in his Dantian became even more concentrated. When he finished his practice and opened his eyes, it was already bright outside the window.

Seeing that Bai Ruoli was still fast asleep, he smiled slightly, quietly put on his clothes, and went to the outer room. Qinghe, who was guarding outside, heard the noise and quickly went to serve her, bringing her warm water and a towel.

Shen Jingchuan's gaze swept over the girl. She was eighteen years old, and her figure had already matured, with a slender waist and distinct curves.

To be honest, she was originally his personal maid, and now, with her head bowed, revealing a section of her fair neck, she looked rather charming and delicate.

"Getting up so early? No way!" He felt a surge of warmth in his heart, but he quickly suppressed it—a cultivator should restrain his mind; indulging in sensual pleasures would hinder his spiritual path.

Qinghe, who was serving with her eyes downcast, suddenly noticed that her son-in-law's gaze was fixed on her, with a hint of passion that had never been seen before.

She shuddered violently, her cheeks flushed instantly, her head drooped even lower, and the tips of her ears turned so red they seemed about to bleed.

She knew her place; she was supposed to be the son-in-law's woman. But being stared at like that still made her feel flustered and shy, and she even softened her breathing.

Clutching the cloth in her hand, she was both afraid of not serving well enough and causing displeasure, and also carried a vague sense of unease and anticipation.

Bai Ruoli's voice rang in her ears again last night...

This world is so disrespectful to women; they can only listen to... Do you need help?
