Chapter 401 Reward
Shen Yao was speechless. She knew there would be more unwanted suitors, but thankfully her father had dealt with them all.
There are always pigs trying to steal his cabbages, and Huo Die hates pigs that want to steal his cabbages the most.
Aside from Chu Yun, he didn't dislike Chu Yun.
He nodded at Hu Hansan with a sullen laugh: "Kid, you're pretty good."
His eldest daughter's three unwanted suitors are surprisingly united when facing external threats.
Huo Die smiled insincerely; this Hu Hansan couldn't withstand even half a punch from any of his sons-in-law.
He dared to recommend himself as his son-in-law... his courage is commendable.
That's tantamount to courting death.
Hu Hansan ignored Huo Die's gritted teeth tone and took it as Huo Xiandi praising him.
His eyes were filled with hope, completely unaware that the Fox Emperor, with a sullen face, emerged from the corridor.
"Does this mean Emperor Huo has agreed?"
His voice rose, full of confidence: "Pharmacist Shen, even Immortal Emperor Huo has agreed, what do you think of me?"
Shen Yao rolled her eyes inwardly. Not so great.
Please, please, no more unwanted suitors. My wife is so jealous and hard to please.
"Immortal Huo, I also wish to be your son-in-law." Another person chimed in, "My name is Xiao Heng, from the Xiao family of Yicheng, Longzhou. My family background is better than Hu Hansan's."
Once the initial spark was ignited, cultivators, driven by various motives, joined in one after another.
"Pharmacist Shen, look at me. My greatest strength is that I love my wife dearly."
Ha, his biggest advantage is that he dotes on his wife. Besides that, he probably doesn't have any other advantages.
"Immortal Huo, if you are willing to take me as your son-in-law, I will risk my life for you and be at your beck and call."
Wow, he didn't fall for Shen Yao, but for her father.
"Immortal Huo, I will obey your orders."
"Pharmacist Shen..."
Jiang Ming carried his daughter and came down from the second floor with a gloomy expression.
He sent a teleportation request to Shen Yao, but it was rejected, so he sent it to Feng Yu instead.
Feng Yu used her spiritual sense to observe the activity on the first floor. Just as she was about to go down after the cultivator receiving treatment was cured, she received a teleportation invitation.
He answered the call just in time; Jiang Ming heard the whole show as soon as he arrived.
Wherever Jiang Ming went, the cultivators retreated three feet, bowing their heads timidly and saying, "Hall Master Jiang."
"Hall Master Jiang."
The hall fell silent as if sheep were avoiding a tiger upon his arrival.
Shen Yao thought to herself, "Jiang Ming truly lives up to his fearsome reputation. Wherever he goes, cultivators fall silent and children stop crying."
Feng Qing woke up, and the baby, sensing the lively surroundings, clapped his little hands happily and laughed, "Ah-oh, ah-oh."
Huo Die took Feng Qing from his arms and said, "Grandpa's little granddaughter is so good."
Jiang Ming surveyed the room, his willow-leaf eyes filled with a sinister glint.
The cultivators in the hall dared not look up or look around. One cultivator accidentally made eye contact with him and hurriedly lowered his head.
Jiang Ming walked to Shen Yao's side, raised his hand to cast a spell, and helped her quickly heal the wounded: "Wife, rest for a while."
The cultivators were shocked and surprised, but they quickly realized that Huo Xiandi and Jiang Qitang were uncle and nephew because Jiang Ming was his son-in-law.
Deng Hua, who had been following Shen Yao, quietly retreated to a corner.
She dared to be sworn brothers with Shen Yao, but she wouldn't dare to have a relationship with Jiang Ming.
I've heard that Master Jiang of the Wind God Hall of the True God Sect is capricious, tyrannical, and cruel. Anyone who displeases him will suffer a terrible death.
Who would dare to associate with Jiang Mingpan...? They must have a death wish.
Shen Yao wasn't tired. She beckoned Tu Xiaoxiao, who was standing at the entrance of the corridor with a sullen face, over, and then said to Jiang Ming, "Let's treat a few more, then we'll go eat."
Jiang Ming responded gently, "Okay."
He turned around and his expression turned grim again. He asked in a cold tone, "Who else among you wants to be my father-in-law's son-in-law? State your names."
A large group of people knelt down in the hall. Those who had previously clamored to become Huo Die's son-in-law were now trembling with fear and their hearts were pounding.
They all thought the Shen family was good-natured, but little did they know that Master Jiang was also her husband.
Even with their strength, and with all their courage, they wouldn't dare to compete with Hall Master Jiang.
Only then did they realize that although the Fox Emperor was a demon, he was an Emperor-level cultivator, capable of standing on equal footing with the top echelons of the Immortal Clan.
Their immortal bloodline was no more noble than that of the Fox Emperor.
Seeing the scene in the hall through his spiritual sense, and Feng Yu treating the wounded in the second-floor room, his eyes darkened slightly.
He thought to himself that although Jiang Ming was ruthless and gloomy, he was indeed intimidating.
If he and Tu Xiaoxiao were of the same temperament, Zhang Tie's refusal to treat them would not have happened.
Thinking about Shen Yao's method of handling Zhang Tie's matter, Feng Yu felt both happy and worried.
What's good is that Yanzhou has become more shrewd, learning to subtly use others' influence to clear himself of any wrongdoing.
What worries me is that she's become more preoccupied; I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.
No one dared to dream of becoming Huo Die's son-in-law anymore, and Jiang Ming didn't tell the kneeling male cultivators to get up.
Let them worry and be afraid, kneel for a little longer.
Shen Yao was always soft-hearted, but she did not plead for him at this moment.
After the Zhang Tie incident, she realized that Jiang Ming's perspective on things was on a higher level than hers.
She understood that Jiang Ming had his own reasons for acting, and if she rashly intervened, she would most likely only make things worse and create trouble for him.
It's better to be a little ruthless and not interfere in things that shouldn't be interfered with.
Lunch today is scheduled at Tao Lou, and Huo Die made the reservation in advance.
On the way, Shen Yao pulled Jiang Ming along and walked quickly ahead, whispering in his ear, "The city guards arrested four male cultivators from the wounded camp. The leader is called Zhang Tie. I don't know where they are being held."
After listening to her, Jiang Ming asked in a low voice, "You want to rescue them?"
Shen Yao turned around and glanced at Feng Yu, who was looking at her from three zhang away.
She pulled Jiang Ming along for a few steps, and feeling that Feng Yu couldn't hear her anymore, she whispered in Jiang Ming's ear, "I want them to die."
To Jiang Ming's surprise, "What did they do?"
Shen Yao omitted the details of her being scolded and succinctly recounted Zhang Tie's refusal to treat her.
“Whether we treat him or not today, he will not be satisfied and will definitely spread rumors outside to damage the relationship between the two tribes.”
“His brothers initially condoned his behavior, but later tried their best to distance themselves from him. None of them are good people, and none of them should be kept alive.”
When she said that none of them could be left behind, her expression and tone were very resolute.
Jiang Ming's lips curved into a wider smile, and he suddenly chuckled softly.
Shen Yao's face fell: "What are you laughing at?"
She muttered unhappily, "That laugh is so creepy."
Jiang Ming's smile became even more sinister: "After spending so much time with my wife, she has actually learned to be ruthless."
"Tch." Shen Yao said disdainfully, "I was ruthless enough when I slaughtered evil spirits and built the city decades ago."
Jiang Mingqi activated the communication command and sent a message to Zhou Han, the city lord of Licheng: "The West Street Wounded Camp has captured four accomplices of evil cultivators. The leader is named Zhang Tie. Execute them all immediately."
The small characters formed from spiritual energy floated into the communication bar one by one, and Shen Yao was finally relieved.
She turned around and prepared to go to Feng Yu's side to walk with him.
She often did this kind of thing—use and discard—and Jiang Ming was prepared for it.
He grabbed her arm: "You're going to leave after you're done, without even a reward?"
Shen Yao asked, "What reward do you want?"
Jiang Ming put on an act: "It depends on your sincerity."
Shen Yao thought about it seriously and started to worry.
Jiang Ming lacks nothing; she wants to give away things that don't exist in this world.
For example, motorcycles, sports cars, game consoles... even a Rolls Block machine would work...
But she couldn't do it.
I don't know what to do.
What should I give as a gift?
