Superpower Small Farmer

Just like the six dead members of the Jiang Family, Zhou Jingzhe was utterly shocked and puzzled by Wang Xiaoqiang's Dead Spirit Puppets. At the same time, she suddenly realized the reason for Wang Xiaoqiang's prior confidence. No wonder, with two Dead Spirit Puppets, not just the six from the Jiang Family, even if Du Shuiyue and the people from the Linshui Sect came, they couldn't kill him.

Wang Xiaoqiang walked over to Zhou Jingzhe, wrapped his arm around her slender waist, and seeing she was still in a daze, gave her a kiss on the cheek.

"Ah,..." Zhou Jingzhe snapped out of her daze, but this time, she didn't pull away from Wang Xiaoqiang. Her face was shy, yet devoid of anger.

"Alright, the matter is settled. Let's find a place to rest and sleep," Wang Xiaoqiang said. "We haven't had a good night's sleep from last night till now."

Indeed, from completing their mission last night until now, they hadn't rested at all, and were quite weary. However, upon hearing the word "sleep," Zhou Jingzhe's cheeks flushed even more.

Because she had never gone out alone with a man before, let alone shared a room with one.

Although they might not necessarily sleep together, it was hard not to think about it at this moment. Not only Zhou Jingzhe, but Wang Xiaoqiang also harbored such ambiguous thoughts.

Seeing Zhou Jingzhe's red face and her silence, Wang Xiaoqiang took her by the waist and descended the city wall, then found a guesthouse, walked in, and asked for two rooms at the front desk.

Seeing him ask for two rooms, Zhou Jingzhe pushed him with a flushed face and said, "Little Qiang, one room is enough. Two is too wasteful, considering we don't have much silver tael."

Wang Xiaoqiang was stunned; he had thought of just getting one room, but was afraid Zhou Jingzhe would find it awkward, so he asked for two. Unexpectedly, she suggested just one room, implying she wanted to share a room with him. He stared at her in a daze, "Jingzhe, this, isn't it inconvenient..."

Zhou Jingzhe's face grew redder, and she shot him a glance, "If it's inconvenient, you can sleep on the street, but don't waste money."

Saying so, she took out some silver tael to pay the innkeeper and then took the room key to find the room herself.

Wang Xiaoqiang was left standing there, dazed.

The innkeeper shook his head with a chuckle at Wang Xiaoqiang, "What a clueless young fool, not as bold as a woman."

"But isn't that too bold?" Wang Xiaoqiang laughed.

"Silly boy, you're in for a lucky break, go on now." The innkeeper waved a hand to Wang Xiaoqiang, signaling him to follow.

Wang Xiaoqiang gave a goofy smile and then turned to follow Zhou Jingzhe. When he reached the room, he saw Zhou Jingzhe sitting on the bed with a flushed face. When she saw Wang Xiaoqiang enter, she glanced up and shot him a look, "Close the door."

"Locking it is safer. Heh heh." Wang Xiaoqiang knew in his heart that Zhou Jingzhe wasn't the kind of woman to be casual. The reason she wanted one room was out of fear of being chased by Du Shuiyue and the Linshui Sect, afraid that if danger arose, he wouldn't have time to protect her. This way, they could sleep in one room, but he kept it to himself to avoid embarrassing her.

After locking the door, Wang Xiaoqiang walked over to Zhou Jingzhe. She quickly said, "You sleep on the floor, I'll give you the quilt."

Saying so, Zhou Jingzhe threw the quilt from the bed to Wang Xiaoqiang, who caught it and said, "Tch, so stingy, making me sleep on the floor. Do you really take me as your bodyguard? Besides, don't you have to pay for bodyguards?"

Zhou Jingzhe patted the bed and laughed, "Do you want to sleep on the bed?"

"Of course, the bed is more comfortable than the floor, heh," Wang Xiaoqiang said, carrying the quilt over towards the bed. When he reached the edge and sat down, Zhou Jingzhe abruptly stood up from the bed, snatched the quilt from Wang Xiaoqiang's hands, and said, "You sleep on the bed, I'll make a bed on the floor."

Saying that, she laid the quilt on the floor and then lay down.

Wang Xiaoqiang felt a bit awkward and then lay on the bed. He glanced at Zhou Jingzhe lying down, her figure more alluring, stirring a sense of allure in his heart. In the past, he would've certainly seized the opportunity, but now he didn't. Instead, he closed his eyes and went to sleep.

Before, he valued comfort and ease in both body and mind. Now, he pursued cultivation and state.

As Wang Xiaoqiang peacefully fell asleep, Zhou Jingzhe remained awake, fearing that once asleep, Wang Xiaoqiang might take advantage of her. She tossed and turned for quite a while, and only when she heard him start to snore did she dare to fall asleep.

As the two of them rested at the inn in the daylight, thousands of miles away, the Du Family was already surrounded by crowds. Most of these people were there for the spectacle, witnessing the massacre of over a hundred members of the Du Family. Discussions were rife with sighs of lamentation.

Du Shuiyue and the people from the Linshui Sect hurried over upon hearing the news. Du Shuiyue gazed at the hundred-plus family members lying haphazardly in pools of blood, without any sign of life. His heart felt like it had been seized, a painful twist, as if a knife had been plunged in, bleeding. Fortunately, he was a powerful immortal, for if he had been an ordinary man facing the extermination of his entire clan, he would surely have died from rage and heartbreak.

While these hundred-plus clan members were not Du Shuiyue's closest kin, they were still uncles, nephews, and grandchildren—all Du family blood. It was impossible not to feel heartache over the loss of so many people.

Though Du Shuiyue did not spew blood, his body trembled, his face pale, while his eyes burned a furious red, as if flames would burst forth. His gaze carried grief and fury, a wrathful intent seemed ready to devour anyone… He roared, "Who did this? If you're so bold, come forth and reveal yourself. I vow to flay your skin, rip out your tendons, and annihilate your Nine Clans."

The audience, witnessing a Heavenly Being level expert uttering such a venomous oath, dispersed in fear. Once they had left, Du Shuiyue descended morosely to examine the deceased family members, his sorrow growing deeper. Silently, he swore to the departed souls, "My dear ones, your deaths were unjust. Once I find the perpetrators, I promise to annihilate their Nine Clans and build a Tower of Human Heads from their heads to honor you…"

After vowing vengeance, Du Shuiyue suddenly lost control of his emotions, clenching his fists, and looking skyward, he let out a long howl, "Ah~~~~~~~"

Due to the distance, Du Shuiyue's howl didn't disturb Wang Xiaoqiang and Zhou Jingzhe, who slept soundly.

When they woke up, it was already the next day.

They had both slept soundly; Zhou Jingzhe noted that Wang Xiaoqiang hadn't touched her and felt somewhat surprised, improving her view of him. It showed he wasn't a lecherous villain, and she had thought too badly of him.

"Xiaoqiang, now that the Du Family's extermination should have been discovered by Du Shuiyue, he would likely send someone to investigate us," Zhou Jingzhe stated. "Should we hide in a cave in the mountains?"

"No," Wang Xiaoqiang replied, "What you need to do now is to secure your family inside your Storage Ring, then I'll put you in the Storage Ring as well. That's the safest way."

Upon reflection, Zhou Jingzhe felt a surge of fear, grateful for Wang Xiaoqiang's reminder. Otherwise, she'd face the danger of her clan being exterminated by Du Shuiyue out of revenge when he couldn't find them. Therefore, it was imperative to secure her kin promptly inside the Storage Ring.

"Yes, you're indeed thorough. We must act quickly; let's go now." Zhou Jingzhe urged, knowing her parents and siblings were in danger. She had to return home promptly to secure them inside the Storage Ring.

"Jingzhe, I have another matter; I have a brother that I must also secure inside the Storage Ring to prevent collateral damage." Wang Xiaoqiang thought of Little Zhang. Although Little Zhang was at the Kaoshan Sect, he couldn't guarantee Little Zhang wouldn't leave. If Du Shuiyue discovered his connection to Little Zhang, revenge would surely follow, perhaps even capturing him as leverage, which would be troublesome.

"But Xiaoqiang, alone I fear encountering Linshui Sect people." Zhou Jingzhe stammered, tugging Wang Xiaoqiang's hand. "Why don't we go to my home together first, then find your brother afterward." She paused, then suggested, "Maybe find your brother first, then head to my home."

"No." Wang Xiaoqiang insisted, "Let's go to your home first, secure your family, then go to the Kaoshan Sect to find my brother…"

"Wha-what?" Zhou Jingzhe exclaimed in surprise, "Go, go back to the Kaoshan Sect? How is that possible? The Sect Master strictly forbade us from returning to the Kaoshan Sect, or else… Kaoshan Sect will be exposed, and Linshui Sect will target Kaoshan Sect. The Sect Master would be furious, then annihilate our clan…"

"What's there to fear, your family is already secured," Wang Xiaoqiang's face revealed a cunning smile.

Zhou Jingzhe thought it through, admiring Wang Xiaoqiang's adaptability and strategy, yet still anxious, "But Xiaoqiang, we're betraying the sect. In the future, we'll not only be targets for Linshui Sect to annihilate, but also Kaoshan Sect. We'll be outcasts…"

"Du Xiongshan is incompetent yet eager for vengeance, using us as pawns without a care for our survival afterward. Why should we continue to conceal for him, or sell ourselves to serve him?" Wang Xiaoqiang retorted furiously.

Upon considering, Zhou Jingzhe agreed. Du Xiongshan used them as pawns, and there was no point in continuing to serve him. However, she was still worried. "But Xiaoqiang, the world is vast yet perilous everywhere. Detaching from Kaoshan Sect, how could we subsist? Kaoshan Sect and Linshui Sect won't leave us alone."

"You're wrong, once Du Shuiyue discovers that Du Xiongshan is the culprit behind the massacre, he will certainly lead his sect to attack Kaoshan Sect seeking revenge. When those two sects battle, they won't have time for us…" Wang Xiaoqiang explained, "We can find another Great Sect to join. Even if Du Shuiyue and Du Xiongshan don't perish in their fight, by the time they remember to capture us, it'll be too late."

Zhou Jingzhe, hearing this, contemplated, and couldn't help but admire inwardly. Although daring, the idea is fundamentally sound and highly feasible.
