101: A Run of Good Fortune for Old Master Wang
Just as Lu Li revealed his murderous intent, Xiao Cha excitedly offered her advice:
"That old scoundrel Wang is spreading heresy; killing him outright would be too lenient. I suggest we first destroy the Wang Family's ancestral graves! Let's show him what's what!"
The last time Xiao Cha killed Wang Siqi, the old man's lavish burial goods left a deep impression on Xiao Cha.
Ever since then, the girl had been thinking about the Wang Family's ancestral graves, and now her eyes shone brightly as she excitedly exclaimed:
"The Wang Family has risen to prominence for nearly a century, producing numerous high-ranking officials and Cultivator. Their ancestral tombs must contain many valuable items!"
Lu Li agreed with this suggestion and nodded repeatedly.
"Killing someone means destroying their spirit, and you can also get more books to bury with them. Not bad, not bad! I was just worried that I was completely clueless when it came to cultivation."
The Spirit Refinement is a vast system, and relying on only one or two books is far from sufficient.
Lu Li lacked experience and knew nothing about the road ahead, so he was feeling his way across the river, which was quite difficult. The Wang Family ancestral tomb was truly a great opportunity!
"Xiao Cha, I'm entrusting the task of making the plan to you!"
"Ha~ I was ready a long time ago~" Xiao Cha laughed:
"There's a tomb raider tunnel that only I know about! Just follow me~ With a rocket launcher, we're sure to get in~"
Lu Li took her delicate hand and said with a smile, "Having you here really makes things easier!"
Xiao Cha felt a little embarrassed being held by the hand. But then she thought that Wan Qing couldn't see her, so there was no need to worry too much.
She boldly intertwined her fingers with Lu Li's and said in a sweet voice:
"There's a temple fair tomorrow, and everyone will be leaving the city, which will make things convenient for us!"
"There are zombies in the mausoleum, right? Perfect opportunity to test the power of our weapons."
"Great! I've been wanting to try this for ages! I wonder if I can handle a heavy machine gun."
The two began planning with great enthusiasm, while Wan Qing watched with secret envy.
She also really wanted to dig up the Wang Family's ancestral graves, even if there was no benefit to it, as long as it was a matter of digging up the Wang Family's ancestral graves.
But since he couldn't see, he would become a burden, so he had to give up the idea.
Having missed many interesting things, Wan Qing felt an even greater urgency to break through to the Spirit Refinement [Embryonic Breathing].
This state allows one to perceive the outside world with their mind, replacing the senses, which is equivalent to regaining sight.
Wan Qing took a deep breath, enduring the soreness all over her body, and took the initiative to practice martial arts.
[I want to see the world again, I want to see Xiao Cha... I also want to see what Young Master Lu like... He must be very handsome.]
Even without supervision, Wan Qing practiced with extra effort, her large pomelo almost jumping out of her mouth.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
If the ancestral graves are dug up, Wang Chiyuan, the Patriarch the Wang Family, will definitely be overjoyed.
At this moment, Wang Chiyuan was completely unaware that he, and even his entire family, had been targeted by someone.
He launched into a tirade against the shameless comfort women, then ended the broadcast for the day and got up to leave the radio station.
Upon entering the outer room, a young Young Master dressed in a blue satin robe respectfully offered a cup of ginseng tea, saying, "Father, you've had a long journey!"
Wang Chiyuan took the teacup, sipped it slowly, and said:
"Junyan, do you know why your father works so hard every day?"
"Your son understands; Father's aim is to secure the distribution rights for [Ice Soul Powder]."
"It's good that you know," Wang Chiyuan advised his son.
"Your third uncle has no descendants, so the wealth and connections he left behind are not important. The most crucial thing is this [distribution rights]! Your father has already made contact with Izumo Yifang. Now, we'll work a little harder to make them remember our kindness. Once we secure the distribution rights, we'll be incredibly wealthy!"
Wang Junyan quickly echoed, "Father is wise."
Actually, this matter has something to do with Lu Li. It was because he killed Wang Siqi that the [distribution rights] became vacant.
At this moment, Wang Junyan hesitated and said, "Father, I'm afraid the other uncles won't let this go so easily."
Wang Chiyuan laughed:
"This is why I wanted you to join the [Jiu Shan Sect]. Tomorrow at the ancestral hall gathering, you must display the demeanor of an [Inner Sect disciple] of the Jiu Shan Sect and properly impress everyone."
Wang Junyan nodded and said, "Your son obeys. Should we bring some magical artifacts in case of emergency?"
"Take it with you. With such high profits at stake, they're probably planning to make a move."
Wang Chiyuan sneered, "Remember this: in this day and age, wealth and power are all illusions; only cultivation is real."
Wang Junyan replied knowingly, "I understand."
"By the way," Wang Chiyuan then asked, "I heard your senior brother has arrived. Could you perhaps invite him to your residence for a few days?"
Wang Junyan looked troubled. "I'm afraid it's inconvenient. Senior Brother Li is investigating a major matter and should have no time for anything else."
"What important matter?"
"One of my true disciples died in Jinmen, and his soul was even extracted."
"What?!" Wang Chiyuan was shocked!
Wang Junyan added, "The person died at the [Tooth Brokerage]'s villa. The Tooth Brokerage has kept the news secret, and I only just learned of it myself."
"What a fortunate thing!" Wang Chiyuan exclaimed with delight upon hearing this.
"The Tooth Brokerage also has the distribution rights for Ice Soul Powder, making them our future competitors. Offending the Jiu Shan Sect is no small matter!"
"Father is blessed with good fortune and will surely have great luck!"
"Good fortune is on your side... Well said! Have someone prepare some wine and food, let's have a drink together, father and son."
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lu Li was unaware that his every move since arriving in this world had triggered a chain reaction.
Early the next morning, he and Xiao Cha got ready to give "Master Wang, who is always in good fortune" a big surprise.
Xiao Cha was pulling a cart loaded with a Mini Gatling, a W95 heavy machine gun, a rocket launcher, and a quantity of ammunition.
After checking the items and wrapping them securely in felt, the two prepared to leave.
Before leaving, Wan Qing gently reminded her, "Be careful, I'll make you scallion pancakes at home."
"Add more oil! Add more scallions!" Xiao Cha kept nagging like a little glutton.
Wan Qing smiled and nodded, "I know what you like to eat, don't worry. Have a safe trip!"
After seeing the two off, the girl returned to the courtyard and began practicing martial arts on her own initiative.
Her face showed some struggle, but she was still gritting her teeth and persevering.
Fortunately, there were two Calming Incense burning in the yard, which soothed the mind and slightly reduced the pain in the muscles and bones.
Meanwhile, the two of them had an exceptionally smooth trip out.
Today is the temple fair, a day not only for sightseeing but also for shopping at a large market.
Many people were carrying baskets and hampers and heading out of town, so Xiao Cha's cart was inconspicuous at all.
But when the girl pulled the cart, the swaying of her hips from side to side was so beautiful that even the wide homespun trousers couldn't hide it.
With many people around and eyes watching, Lu Li, being petty and unwilling to share, took off his coat and tied it around the girl's waist.
Xiao Cha asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"
Lu Li said seriously, "Your butt is very nice, I don't want others to see it, cover it up."
The girl chuckled, then blushed and said, "Only a pervert like you would keep staring at someone's butt!"
Lu Li didn't refute, and said with some melancholy:
"I've just realized that I'm not exactly a saint; I have desires too, and they're even stronger than the average person's."
"Silly boy~ Don't overthink it~" Xiao Cha said with a light laugh, "It's normal for martial artists to have strong bodies and fiery desires."
"I see..." Lu Li nodded.
Xiao Cha called to him again, "Put all your things on the cart, it's still twenty or thirty li away, and it's quite heavy."
Lu Li mentally supported the leather suitcase containing the metal ball, pretending to hold it in his hand.
The box weighed a thousand pounds; the girl meant well.
But Lu Li shook his head and said, "I can't always let you take it. Since I'm capable, I'll do it myself."
"Silly boy~" Xiao Cha bumped his shoulder with her head, her eyes crinkling with laughter.
