33: Brother Aniu, don't be so irritable.

"If it weren't for it, would I be like this?"

"If it weren't for it, we wouldn't have even met, let alone be together," Duan Zhengchun said.

"Could it be that this voice isn't what you truly think inside?" Zhao Min teased.

"Do you know what the true nature of a man is?"

"What kind of man do you imagine? Someone who revolves around you every day? Don't you think such a man is too useless?"

"As the saying goes, a good man aims for all corners of the world, right?" Duan Zhengchun said.

"But who doesn't want to exclusively possess their lover?" Zhao Min countered.

"Tell me, for a beauty like you, if I didn't have strength, could we be together?"

"When you encounter danger, if my strength isn't enough, can I protect you?"

"Do you think this world is peaceful? Just because you harbor no ill will towards others, does that mean others won't harbor ill will towards you?"

"All I am doing now is striving to gain greater power, so I can protect you better."

"As for other women, that is simply a necessary process one must undergo while becoming stronger."

"Do you really have to dwell on this process?" Duan Zhengchun said helplessly.

"How can you prove that what you're saying is true?" Zhao Min asked.

"Well, you'll understand soon. Although this matter is difficult to explain, it is truly real."

After Duan Zhengchun finished speaking, he stretched out his hand, and instantly, a Jade Bottle appeared in his grasp.

Seeing Duan Zhengchun use such a method, Zhao Min's eyes instantly widened.

Her eyes were already large, but now they could be described as being like copper bells.

"H-how did you do that?" Zhao Min asked in shock.

"Didn't I tell you before? This is a reward given to me by that voice in my mind."

"It's called a Spatial Backpack. You can store things inside, and as long as I think about it, I can put things in or take them out," Duan Zhengchun said, demonstrating it once.

Watching the Jade Bottle appear and disappear, appear and disappear, right before her eyes.

Zhao Min rubbed her eyes, then pinched Duan Zhengchun's arm.

"Hiss... Ouch! What are you doing?" Duan Zhengchun inhaled sharply and asked.

"It hurts? Then I'm not dreaming," Zhao Min nodded.

"Then why didn't you pinch yourself?" Duan Zhengchun said with a dark expression.

"You're a grown man, why are you being so petty?" Zhao Min retorted with a pout.

"Alright, do you believe what I said now?"

"The dà huán dān you took before, and the marrow cleansing pill I just gave Xiao Zhao, were also obtained as rewards," Duan Zhengchun explained.

"Shouldn't you give me an explanation? Why did Sister Fenghuang and I get the dà huán dān, but Xiao Zhao got the marrow cleansing pill?" Zhao Min asked with a dark expression.

"Can I say that the marrow cleansing pill was rewarded specifically because of Xiao Zhao?"

"Besides, I never intended to hide anything; I definitely plan to give it to you and Phoenix later."

"It's just that you are both currently pregnant, and I am unsure if taking the marrow cleansing pill would have any negative effects on you or the fetus."

"That's why I haven't given it to you yet," Duan Zhengchun explained.

Zhao Min nodded. Indeed, she and Dao Baifeng were both pregnant now, and no one could be sure if taking a Medicinal Pill rashly would cause problems.

"Hmph, I suppose you pass," Zhao Min sniffed proudly.

"Alright, relax. If I don't cherish my own woman, who will?" Duan Zhengchun said with a smile.

"Hmph, who needs you to cherish them!" Zhao Min pouted.

Although she spoke like this, the curve of her lips proved that she was still quite pleased.

However, just at this moment, a burst of noise came from outside.

Soon, a knock sounded on the door.

"Young Miss, someone is causing trouble out front," the Waiter said.

"You bother me with such a small matter?" Zhao Min said with a displeased expression.

She had finally managed to secure a quiet moment alone with him, only to be interrupted.

This instantly soured her mood.

"Well... Young Miss, the troublemaker is, is with that girl in red. His name is Zhang Wujis alias," the Waiter said.

Hearing that the troublemaker was Zhang Wujis alias, Duan Zhengchun immediately understood what was going on.

Zhang Wujis alias must have realized Xiao Zhao was missing, and since everything happened while he was drunk.

He must believe that Duan Zhengchun approached him with ulterior motives, which is why he was causing a scene here.

"Alright, I understand. I'll go take a look!" Duan Zhengchun said.

"I'm coming too!" Zhao Min followed him out.

Duan Zhengchun and Zhao Min arrived together in the Front Hall.

Zhang Wujis alias was confronting the restaurant's thugs, his face full of anger.

"Tell me, where did you hide Xiao Zhao? And what is the connection between you and that Duan Long?" Zhang Wujis alias roared.

"Kid, I advise you to leave quickly, otherwise, no matter who you are, you will pay the price."

"This is not a place for you to run wild. As for the Xiao Zhao you mentioned, we don't know her."

"We don't know Duan Long either," the Shopkeeper said coldly.

"Nonsense! I clearly heard the Waiter call Zhao Min 'Young Miss'."

"Zhao Min is Duan Long's wife! How dare you say you don't know him?" Zhang Wujis alias yelled angrily.

"So what? If we don't know, we don't know."

"I advise you to leave quickly. This is not a place for you to cause trouble," the Shopkeeper said coldly.

"Since you refuse to hand over Xiao Zhao, don't blame me for being impolite."

After Zhang Wujis alias finished speaking, his entire body burst with Qi, and he slammed a punch toward the Inn's Shopkeeper.

The Inn Shopkeeper hadn't expected this rustic-looking young man to actually dare to attack.

Moreover, his strength was surprisingly immense.

This scorching power was simply something he, an ordinary person, could not withstand.

If this punch landed, he figured he'd be half-crippled, even if he didn't die.

He tried to dodge, but Zhang Wujis alias was too fast; he had no time at all.

Just at this critical moment, a sound of something tearing through the air rang out.

Zhang Wujis alias also noticed the sudden sound, and instantly unleashed his full strength.

"Boom..."

A burst of explosive heat erupted, and the Shopkeeper and several thugs were directly sent flying by the force.

Even Zhang Wujis alias was forced back several steps by this power.

Feeling the numbness transmitted from his fist, Zhang Wujis alias was deeply shocked.

When he clearly saw who had intervened, the shock in his heart intensified.

"Brother Niu, why are you so impulsive? Even if you're worried about Young Miss Xiao Zhao's safety, you shouldn't attack ordinary people," Duan Zhengchun said, walking out with a smile.

"Brother Duan, did you take Xiao Zhao away?" Zhang Wujis alias asked with a grim expression.

"Brother Niu, why the rush? Xiao Zhao is already mine now. If you have nothing else, you should leave," Duan Zhengchun stated directly.

"What? Impossible, I don't believe it."

"You just met! How could Xiao Zhao possibly be willing to follow you?" Zhang Wujis alias stared at Duan Zhengchun in shock.

"That's just the fact. There's nothing you can do if you don't believe it."

"Go now. Don't you have something very important to do? If you linger here too long, you might miss your opportunity," Duan Zhengchun said with a smile.
