The Dominance of the Son-in-Law: My Wealthy and Beautiful Wife

Chapter 428 - 428: Betting You're Bluffing!

No choice.

Qin Feng was unwilling to cause trouble, fearing to attract the landlady's attention, so he could only swallow his anger for now.

Otherwise, it's fun to bully people temporarily, but it leads to cremation in the end.

"What are you wearing a mask for?"

Dong Haimei asked suspiciously.

"Shush!"

Qin Feng gestured for silence with a finger to his lips and continued to carry Lin Xue'er upstairs.

Jiang Ziqiu beside them said, "I bet this guy has enemies and doesn't dare to show his face. Haimei, it's better for us to stay away from him!"

Dong Haimei listened and also turned to follow Qin Feng.

After Qin Feng brought Lin Xue'er to the room and placed her on the bed, she asked again, "What exactly happened?"

"Oh, nothing, I just don't want certain people here to recognize me," Qin Feng said. "By the way, I need some medicinal materials. Can you help me collect them? I can't show my face easily. Don't worry, I won't shortchange you at all."

"Okay."

Dong Haimei nodded.

Seeing this, Jiang Ziqiu felt a fire burning in his heart.

He had never seen Dong Haimei care so much about a man, agreeing without conditions, which was quite frustrating.

Very soon.

Qin Feng wrote down the medicines he needed.

Then he asks Dong Haimei to go to the innkeeper and pay a deposit, and the innkeeper then posts the required items on the east wall of the main hall.

This wall is called the "Trade Wall."

Anyone who wants something can hang a note there, as there are many people who specialize in collecting things to make money.

With these arranged.

Dong Haimei went to find Qin Feng and asked, "Do you have enemies here?"

"No, it's complicated."

Qin Feng sighed and waved his hand, then looked up and asked, "By the way, didn't you send someone to look for the Demon-Subduing Pestle?"

"Yes."

Dong Haimei frowned slightly and sighed, saying, "But no one here is willing to take the job. There are rumors that many experts have gone to the Ancient City, and most never return. Fortunately, someone took the job. It's One-eyed Dragon, who had conflicts with you before."

"Oh? Since they accepted the job, why haven't they gone?" Qin Feng asked. Check My Virtual Library Empire (*) for the latest updates.

"They don't dare either; they just want to 'catch the cicada while the yellow sparrow lurks behind'," said Dong Haimei. "It is said that many sects have gone there recently, sixty-eight people in total, including thirty Grandmasters. They believe some will definitely return alive. They have already bought a lot of poison, preparing for 'catching the cicada while the yellow sparrow lurks behind'."

"I see."

Qin Feng nodded and said, "Their plan is doomed to fail."

"Why?" asked Dong Haimei.

"Because, I have that item with me," Qin Feng said, taking out the iron rod he had obtained in the Ancient City. "This should be the Demon-Subduing Pestle, but it's been buried underground for too long and needs polishing."

Seeing the Demon-Subduing Pestle, Dong Haimei's face lit up with excitement, and her eyes sparkled. "With this, I wouldn't have to marry into the Red Dragon Villa!"

She quickly lifted her head to ask Qin Feng, "How much are you willing to sell it for?"

"No."

Qin Feng shook his head.

Dong Haimei's heart sank, "Why won't you sell it? I'm willing to pay any amount!"

Seeing her anxious expression, Qin Feng said, "What I mean is, selling it to you is pointless."

"Why?" Dong Haimei was puzzled.

"It's simple, because you have the Spirit Body Bloodline!" Qin Feng spread his hands and explained.

"..."

Dong Haimei's heart trembled and she felt bitterness rise within her.

She was intelligent.

Naturally, she understood what Qin Feng meant.

Perhaps, Red Dragon Villa made this agreement with her just to make things difficult, convinced she couldn't find the Demon-Subduing Pestle, they had her cornered.

Even if she really found it.

Red Dragon Villa wouldn't let go of such a treasure like her.

They would find another excuse to claim her.

"But, should I just resign myself to this fate..."

Tears of bitterness shone in Dong Haimei's eyes.

She was of the Spirit Body Bloodline, she had extraordinary talent, she was also the head of a multi-billion corporation, shining brightly.

But.

She has her own difficulties.

Seeing this, Qin Feng said, "Since you just helped me out, how about this: I'll help you in return later on!"

"You? How will you help?" Dong Haimei looked at him.

"Don't forget, I'm a member of the Tiger Shark," Qin Feng said. "Besides serving the Eastern Border Army, Tiger Shark members also bear the responsibilities of the Dragon Group. Those from the Hidden World who want to bully the Mortal World have to consider our stance."

...

Dong Haimei looked ashamed.

The idea was correct, but still, it seemed too difficult.

After all, he couldn't possibly be by her side every day. Red Dragon Villa could refrain from retaliating for one day or two, but they would eventually find an opportunity.

"Don't worry, leave it to me,"

Qin Feng said.

"Okay."

Dong Haimei nodded her head.

No matter what, having his word somehow made her feel a warmth inside.

"By the way, what brings you here?"

Dong Haimei asked.

"I'm here to treat someone; there was a bit of an accident, and the medicinal ingredients I need for her illness can be quickly gathered here, so I came,"

Qin Feng responded.

"I see."

Dong Haimei glanced at Lin Xue'er, recognizing her as the girl who was with Qin Feng at the appraisal event in Jiang City.

She couldn't help but mutter to herself.

Wasn't Qin Feng known to be very loyal to his wife, Xu Yunxiao? How could he...

Of course.

She dared not think too much.

As night fell,

Dong Haimei invited Qin Feng to dinner.

Having spent so many days in the desert without a proper meal, Qin Feng simply went with Dong Haimei to a private room.

Of course.

Jiang Ziqiu shamelessly tagged along as well.

Qin Feng ate heartily, while Jiang Ziqiu curled his lips and muttered, "Country bumpkin! Acting like he's never had good food before..."

Qin Feng and Dong Haimei simply ignored him, conversing and eating together.

"Have you been to the Ancient City?"

Dong Haimei asked suspiciously.

Otherwise, she couldn't explain how he came by the Demon-Subduing Pestle.

"Is it dangerous there? With so many Grandmasters, the scene must have been spectacular!" Dong Haimei said curiously.

After all, for the people of the Mortal World, Grandmasters were lofty beings.

Rumor had it, thirty Grandmasters went there.

It must have been quite a sight.

"Uh..."

Qin Feng couldn't associate the scene with the word "spectacular" at all. All he could think of was them running scared in all directions.

After thinking for a bit,

He bluntly stated, "Basically, all of them are dead, only one Grandmaster and two Half-step Masters survived."

Broken Mountain Sect Master Zheng Aotian was a Grandmaster.

The fat and the skinny protectors were Half-step Masters.

"All of them are dead?!"

Dong Haimei was surprised internally.

It was incredible that thirty Grandmasters all died!

"What bullshit are you spouting!" Jiang Ziqiu snorted from the side, "Look at what cultivation level you have - just an Inner Strength Martial Disciple. Twenty-nine out of thirty Grandmasters died, but you're still alive? You're really bragging."

Qin Feng gave him a dismissive look, as if he was looking at thin air, and continued discussing other things with Dong Haimei.

Jiang Ziqiu's face turned red.

This was a blatant disregard of himself!

What made it even more maddening was that Dong Haimei actually believed him.

She didn't believe him but trusted some trash?

"Want to bet on it!"

Furious, Jiang Ziqiu slammed the table and said to Qin Feng, "I bet you're just blowing smoke!"
