15: Xu Ying's cousin

One night had passed.

Cheng Yurou was almost completely limp, utterly exhausted.

She even secretly resolved that finding a wife for Xiao Chen must be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

Otherwise, she alone simply couldn't endure it.

Jiang Chen got up early and then Cultivated Crushing Cauldron Fist in the courtyard.

Although Jiang Chen's opponents currently weren't very strong, it was just as Shen Lingshu had said.

Within the Black Yamen, the number of Xiantian Realm experts was also very high.

When truly facing these high-Rank experts, the fist techniques and martial arts Jiang Chen had mastered would come into play, so he needed more time now to increase his strength.

Following the operational method of Crushing Cauldron Fist.

Jiang Chen tried it again and again in the courtyard.

Perhaps it was due to his improved strength.

While practicing Crushing Cauldron Fist, Jiang Chen actually gained new Comprehension Ability.

At this moment, Jiang Chen also seemed to be immersed in the world of fist techniques.

As each move and stance was executed.

There was also the feeling of abundant flesh and blood energy from yesterday's punch that killed Jiang De.

"Boom!"

After two hours of practice, Jiang Chen.

Finally, with this punch, he unleashed three hidden strengths.

"Three hidden strengths!"

"Not only that, my fist technique Realm has reached the introductory level!"

Jiang Chen's eyes lit up.

Fist technique Realm does not represent the proficiency of martial arts.

However, if your fist technique Realm is high, the speed at which you master some martial arts will become faster, and you will be able to draw inferences from one instance to another.

Jiang Chen possessed a Martial Dao Saint Body, and now merely Cultivating Crushing Cauldron Fist had allowed his fist technique Realm to reach the introductory level.

In the future, when Cultivating other fist techniques, his speed would be even faster.

After all, Crushing Cauldron Fist was just an ordinary Yellow Rank Low Grade fist technique; now, unleashing three hidden strengths barely put it at the Yellow Rank Medium Grade level.

The gap between martial arts was still very large.

One's own Comprehension Ability, as well as one's own fist technique Realm, were also related to the speed of martial arts progress.

Jiang Chen wiped the sweat from his body.

In the kitchen, Cheng Yurou, dragging her tired body, had already prepared lunch.

However, although Cheng Yurou's body was tired, her mental state was very good.

She seemed to have more vitality than before.

Perhaps it was due to the harmony of Yin and Yang.

"Xiao Chen, the food is ready. Eat if you're hungry. I'm going to lie down for a bit longer."

Cheng Yurou said.

"Okay, thank you, Rou'er."

Looking at the gentle and virtuous Cheng Yurou, Jiang Chen's heart was filled with tenderness.

However, Cheng Yurou's physique was delicate after all; when they went to town, he would still have to get her some good things to supplement her.

"By the way, Rou'er, later we'll pack everything up. We'll move to town tomorrow."

Jiang Chen thought for a moment and said.

He had originally intended to leave today, but seeing Cheng Yurou's condition, she probably couldn't endure the journey today.

It would take nearly an hour and a half by carriage to get to town from here.

"Okay, I'll start packing this afternoon."

Cheng Yurou's eyes also held surprise and anticipation.

Now that Xiao Chen was capable and had achieved something, he could even get a household registration in town and live there.

Aside from other things, at least in town, there wouldn't be wild beasts entering the village and eating people at any time.

And she heard that the public order in town would also be better.

Also, there were more job opportunities in town; she could find a job in a dye shop or cloth shop, or at worst, wash dishes in a restaurant, which would all help the family.

Once they saved some money, they could set up a rouge stall, and life would get better and better.

Xiao Chen wouldn't have to risk hunting in the mountains either.

At that time, if Xiao Chen wanted to practice Cultivation, he could practice Cultivation; if he wanted to fish, he could fish. Let Xiao Chen do whatever he wanted.

Cheng Yurou lay on the bed, happily planning in her heart.

Jiang Chen came to the kitchen.

Rou'er's cooking was really good.

A pot of fragrant, tender, and soft Dongpo pork, a large plate of stir-fried meat with pounded peppers, a plate of braised spare ribs, a plate of stir-fried wild vegetables, and a bowl of wolfberry pork blood soup.

Eating four dishes and one soup at such a young age.

Normally, it wouldn't be so extravagant, but Cheng Yurou felt that Jiang Chen had killed a tiger yesterday and expended energy all night, so he needed a good supplement.

Jiang Chen specifically picked out a small bowl of dishes for Cheng Yurou, estimating that she wouldn't wake up until evening after that nap.

The remaining dishes were all swept away under Jiang Chen's whirlwind-like attack.

After this full meal, Jiang Chen also felt that his hungry body finally had a sense of fullness.

"Although the Crushing Cauldron Fist manual says there are only three hidden strengths at most, why do I feel like I can unleash a fourth one?"

Jiang Chen had occasionally had such a realization while practicing his fist technique today.

Now that he had eaten his fill, he also had enough strength to think.

After resting for a while, he went to the room to cover Cheng Yurou with a quilt.

Even as an adult, when she slept, she still liked to stick her slender jade legs out of the quilt and then lie on her side, clamping the quilt between her legs.

In the afternoon, Jiang Chen continued to practice his fist technique.

However, he was still quite a distance from the fourth hidden strength.

As dusk approached, the setting sun shone obliquely.

The entire village was covered in a layer of burning gold.

"Mmm..."

"Comfortable."

Cheng Yurou pushed open the door and stretched comfortably, her full bosom almost bursting through her worn cloth dress.

A few strands of messy hair gently swayed with the evening breeze.

The girl's face also had a blush, and even her eyes turned golden in the sunlight.

"You're awake? I left some food for you in the kitchen, but it's probably cold by now."

"Hehe, I overslept, overslept. I'll just reheat it myself."

Cheng Yurou's stomach also let out a protesting growl.

"I'll go pack things up after I eat."

Then, Cheng Yurou quickly ran towards the kitchen.

Cheng Yurou's appetite wasn't large to begin with, so she finished eating in a few quick bites.

"I'll go get two pots of wine. We'll go see Dad and Big Brother together later."

Jiang Chen said.

Although he was not Jiang Dalei's biological son.

He had been picked up by Jiang Dalei since he was a child, and Jiang Dalei had the grace of raising him, so Jiang Chen had long regarded Jiang Dalei as his father.

And although his Big Brother was not ambitious, he was also good to Jiang Chen, always saving good things for Jiang Chen.

"Okay, there are still some incense and paper money at home. I'll go prepare them."

Cheng Yurou said.

In the entire Jiang family, Cheng Yurou only had an impression of Jiang Chen. She hadn't even met Jiang Chen's Big Brother, after all, the wedding banquet hadn't even ended and the red veil hadn't been lifted when she heard that Jiang Da An had run off to gamble with the wedding money.

At this moment, from the direction of the village entrance, Xu Ying led a group of people from the town, aggressively heading towards Jiang Chen's house.

Many people along the way, seeing the village chief's wife leading the way, and that group of fierce, strong men, all looked on with curiosity.

"When we get to that little bastard's house, just smash everything. Don't say a word."

"Break that little mongrel's bones."

"Strip that little hussy's clothes off and throw her on the road."

"How dare he steal my Old De's credit."

"How could that little beast have such ability?"

Xu Ying cursed all the way, her arrogance rampant.

Following beside Xu Ying were six burly men.

They all had Black Tiger Gang tattoos on their bodies.

"What are you looking at? Want a beating?"

The leader of the Black Tiger Gang, a dark-skinned strong man, pointed at a villager peeking out and cursed.

The man was immediately scared and withdrew his head.

Seeing the villager's cowardly appearance, Ma Jun and his group burst into laughter.

At this moment, Ma Jun's hand also rested on Xu Ying's fleshy buttocks.

"Little Ying, we agreed, once the work is done, we'll go back to our old grove and have some fun, okay?"

"Hmph, first get the work done before talking about that."

Xu Ying's lips curled up, feigning shyness, and deliberately bumped Ma Jun with her buttocks.

Ma Jun grinned evilly.

The news spread quickly.

These people were all looking for Jiang Chen.

Unexpectedly, Xu Ying had actually brought people from the Black Tiger Gang.

Everyone in the village knew the notorious reputation of the Black Tiger Gang.

Xu Ying arrived outside Jiang Chen's house.

At this time, Cheng Yurou was washing dishes by the pond.

Suddenly, she heard a commotion of footsteps, and turning her head, she saw Xu Ying leading people gathered outside the door.

The dark-skinned strong man stepped forward and kicked down the courtyard gate.

"Bang!"

Ma Jun was the first to step into the courtyard.

He immediately saw the graceful figure washing dishes.

His eyes instantly widened.

"Tsk tsk tsk, what a tender little beauty indeed."

"Ma Jun, it's her! Strip her clothes off! I want to hang her at the village entrance so she'll never have the face to see anyone again in her life!"

When Xu Ying saw Cheng Yurou, the jealousy in her eyes had reached its peak. How could there be such a beautiful woman in this world, and she's in the same village as me?

"Shut your mouth for me."

"Don't shout and yell in front of my beauty."

"If you disturb my beauty, I'll skin you alive!"

Ma Jun was admiring Cheng Yurou in front of him. Hearing Xu Ying's noisy voice, he impatiently slapped her.

If it weren't to make up for some regrets from his youth, did she really think he would fancy an old spittoon like her? She really thought she was something.

Ma Jun's real purpose in coming this time was actually to collect debts.

Something happened to the previous person, who didn't even bring back a single debt. It just so happened that Xu Ying came to him, so he would take care of things along the way and collect the debt.

However, collecting debts didn't stop him from having some fun.

Xu Ying covered her face, her eyes wide, looking at Ma Jun in disbelief. But at this moment, she dared not say another word, and at the same time, she blamed all the resentment in her heart on Cheng Yurou. It was all Cheng Yurou's fault that she got this slap.

"What do you want to do?"

"In broad daylight, you dare to trespass into a private residence."

"Do you still have any laws?!"

"I'm going to report you to the officials!"

Cheng Yurou saw Ma Jun and his group looking fierce and knew that these people must be here to cause trouble.

"If you dare to come any closer, I'll die right here for you to see!"

Cheng Yurou smashed the rooster bowl in her hand and held a piece of porcelain shard against her throat.

No matter what, she couldn't let these people defile her.

"Whoosh!"

Ma Jun flicked his finger, and an iron bead shot out.

It struck Cheng Yurou's chest.

Immediately, Cheng Yurou's breathing hitched, as if her entire body had lost its strength, and the broken porcelain shard in her hand clattered to the ground.

"Heh heh, brothers, guard the gate well."

"After I'm done, it'll be your turn!"

As Ma Jun's voice fell, he immediately walked towards Cheng Yurou, reaching out to grab her.

And at this moment.

A sound of something breaking through the air seemed to come.

Ma Jun's ears twitched. Although he heard the movement, he couldn't dodge in time. As he turned around, he was instantly pierced through his right chest by an arrow descending from the sky, full of force.

Thump, thump, thump!

Ma Jun retreated continuously, actually being pinned to the doorpost by an arrow!
