This Official Has Studied "A Comprehensive Study of Ancient and Modern Sexual Affairs" Since Childhood
The bandit leader said cautiously, "Great Hero, the First Boss's residence is at the peak of the mountain. This lowly one dares not go up!"
Ning Chuan's eyes widened, "Say that again!"
"Yes, yes, yes! This lowly one will lead the way now!"
The fear of death made the bandit leader temporarily forget the First Boss's cruelty, and he forced himself to continue leading the way.
After walking only a few dozen steps, a roar came from above, "Halt! Who goes there..."
The words were cut short halfway through, and Ning Chuan killed him with a Meteor Chasing Moon.
Xiao Lian was surprised, "I didn't expect Ning Chuan's hidden weapons to be so powerful. Even if it were me, I wouldn't be able to dodge it!"
After another quarter of an hour, Ning Chuan arrived at the First Boss's residence, killing dozens of people along the way and gaining quite a few Attribute Points.
Xiao Lian was even more astonished. Her eyes flickered as she looked at Ning Chuan, her heart filled with joy.
"I wonder how this little rogue cultivates. Even the peerless geniuses in the capital can't compare to him!"
Unknowingly, Xiao Lian's heart had fallen for Ning Chuan.
Which maiden could resist the temptation of such a young genius?
Ning Chuan's hidden weapons were so sharp that even a Seventh Rank Great Martial Master had no power to resist, each strike hitting its mark.
He kicked away the large bed where Bishui Han slept. The floor was smooth and flat, showing no trace of having been disturbed.
Ning Chuan pointed at the ground and shouted at the bandit leader, "Dig it open!"
The bandit leader didn't dare to resist. He found a large saber, turned into a digging mole, and quickly began to excavate downwards.
For an Eighth Rank Martial Master, digging a hole in the ground was child's play, an effortless task.
In just a short while, they had dug more than a meter deep.
Suddenly, a metallic clanging sound was heard, and a metal box, about a foot square, appeared at the bottom.
The bandit leader quickly cleared away the soil around the box, carried it out, and approached Ning Chuan with a fawning smile.
"Great Hero, look!"
The bandit leader wore a fawning smile.
"Open it!"
Ning Chuan commanded. He pulled Xiao Lian up and retreated several meters, shielding her with his body.
The bandit leader, unaware of the danger, lifted the metal lid. A series of dense, rapid sounds followed.
The bandit leader's entire face was filled with densely packed small arrows. He fell to the ground with a thud and immediately died.
"Good, that saves me the trouble of doing it myself later!"
Ning Chuan was unfazed. Such bandits had committed countless evils, and their deaths were well-deserved.
Xiao Lian looked at Ning Chuan curiously, "Little rogue, how did you know there were hidden weapons in the box?"
Ning Chuan chuckled inwardly, feeling a desire to tease Xiao Lian again.
He put his hands behind his back, feigning profundity, and transformed into an old scholar, speaking slowly.
"They say one must read ten thousand books and travel ten thousand miles! As warriors, we must read more, read good books, and read them well!"
"Only by constantly broadening our horizons and encompassing everything within our minds can we reach the pinnacle of the martial path!"
Xiao Lian became even more curious, secretly recalling the investigation files on Ning Chuan.
"This little rogue, wasn't he born in Ning Family Village? Didn't he never even go to school? Why would he say such philosophical things?"
"Moreover, it sounds like this kid must have read many books, otherwise he could never say such things!"
Her gaze towards Ning Chuan gained another spark.
After all, a young genius who was both cultured and martial was far more charming than a mere brute force warrior.
In this world, literary and martial pursuits each had their own paths and scenery.
Otherwise, if everyone practiced martial arts without studying literature, wouldn't it become a world full of brutes? That would be too boring.
Xiao Lian thought for a moment, then asked again, "Little rogue, then tell me, what good books have you read? Tell this young lady as well!"
Seeing Xiao Lian's interest, Ning Chuan grew even more excited. His CPU whirred furiously as he tried to recall his knowledge from his previous life, intending to show off.
"Cough, cough!" Ning Chuan coughed a few times, cleared his throat, and then continued slowly.
"This Official has read The Plum in the Golden Vase since childhood, and daily studies A Comprehensive Study of Ancient and Modern Sexual Affairs..."
"Ah! You scoundrel, you're shaming me!"
Before Ning Chuan could finish speaking, Xiao Lian cried out in surprise, yanked her hand away from Ning Chuan's grasp, covered her face, and ran to the side, daring not to look at him.
Ning Chuan's forehead was covered in dark lines, and he had a bad feeling.
Could it be that this world also has The Plum in the Golden Vase!
He quickly asked:
"Madam, have you heard of The Plum in the Golden Vase?"
Xiao Lian's voice was like a mosquito's hum as it drifted from the side.
"That's a banned book in the Ming Dynasty, extremely indecent and corrupting, and it's been permanently sealed!"
After Xiao Lian finished speaking, her pretty face turned bright red, almost as if it could bleed.
Damn it, this is embarrassing!
Ning Chuan wiped a cold sweat from his brow.
If the books from his previous life existed in this world, then he wouldn't be able to pretend to be a great scholar and pick up girls by plagiarizing later!
He quickly mentioned famous poets and books from his previous life, but Xiao Lian had never even heard of them.
That The Plum in the Golden Vase existed in both worlds was a complete coincidence, and Ning Chuan just happened to stumble upon it.
This is too much of a coincidence!
Just now, Ning Chuan was only thinking of teasing Xiao Lian, his lust overriding his reason, and he had completely forgotten about the important matters.
Now, after such a major blunder, his mind raced again, and he used the pretense of attending to business to alleviate the awkwardness.
Ning Chuan coughed a few times, slightly easing the tension, and said with a serious expression:
"Regarding those two great works, your husband had only heard a little.
Now, it's more important to attend to business. As for reading, when... day... after, your husband will explain it to you in detail!"
Xiao Lian nodded with a red face and walked over.
The two looked into the box and saw an oilcloth package at the bottom.
Opening the oilcloth package, they found three neat stacks of documents. Ning Chuan picked them up and examined them carefully.
One was a detailed record of Bishui Dock's tribute to the Han Family, amounting to over a million taels!
Ning Chuan gasped.
So much silver, how much of the people's blood and sweat had to be squeezed out, how many innocent people had to be harmed!
He picked up another document to examine.
"A detailed record of the Han Family's support for Bishui Dock, including warhorses, armor, bows and arrows... Hiss! All of them are contraband!"
"The Han Family is plotting rebellion!"
Ning Chuan's eyelids twitched wildly, feeling as if he had been dragged into a massive storm.
If his strength was insufficient, he would be a small boat in a vast ocean, at risk of capsizing at any moment.
Conversely, if his strength was sufficient, he might even become a player, using heaven and earth as a chessboard and all living beings as pieces.
Strength, strength, it's all about strength!
"Born in a chaotic world, only by becoming powerful can I control my own destiny and protect those I love and who love me!"
Ning Chuan looked at Xiao Lian, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes. His desire to become stronger grew more resolute and urgent!
"My awakened body-tempering system, which can explode with attribute points from killing, is not suitable for hiding in a peaceful era."
"On the contrary, only by seizing opportunities in chaos can I maximize my benefits!"
He picked up the last document to examine.
It contained some correspondence between Bishui Dock and the Han Family, which, when compared with the previous two documents, served as mutual corroboration!
"Holy crap, there's another document here, and it's stamped with the official seal of County Magistrate Han Zhang!"
"Acting so foolishly, yet he can still be the ruler of a county!"
"Now that the evidence is ironclad, it's impossible to bring down the Han Family, but County Magistrate Han Zhang is in for a world of trouble!"
"Gagagagaga..."
Ning Chuan laughed heartily, emitting a cackling sound.
Xiao Lian took the documents and looked at them. A smile could no longer be suppressed on her delicate, fair, and tender cheeks, making her look breathtakingly beautiful!
"Hehehe... That toad is definitely dead this time!"
Xiao Lian laughed so hard that her body trembled, causing her chest to heave and surge. Ning Chuan, the official, didn't know how many times he secretly swallowed.
"Alright, it's time for the real business!"
Ning Chuan stood up, his killing intent boiling over!
"What real business?"
Xiao Lian was confused. Hadn't they obtained the evidence? What other important business was there?
"Killing people to level up!"
Xiao Lian shivered uncontrollably.
