Chapter 489 - Chapter 489: Chapter 481 Cant Afford to Offend_1 (2/2)

Qin Niu pressed his hand to his forehead, suddenly overcome with a headache.

One Madame Zhao was already terrifying enough, and yet there was another mysterious powerhouse lurking in Shuangfeng Village.

It truly confirmed the old saying, “The greatest hides in plain sight, the middling in the marketplace, and the minor in the woods.”

These supreme powerhouses all seemed to enjoy playing the game of retreating into the obscurity of the mountains and forests.

“Which of the two do you think is stronger?”

Qin Niu pressed.

“Hard to say, they’re both terrifying. Master, it’s still best not to provoke them. Their power is too fearsome; they could easily erase you.”

Fire Phoenix had now undergone nirvana, becoming nearly immortal.

Even if it couldn’t win, it should still manage to fly high into the sky and escape. Qin Niu was only at the Innate Realm, and if he truly angered either of the two supreme powerhouses, he probably wouldn’t even have the chance to flee.

Madame Zhao’s casual tone just now was filled with disdain for the Black Tiger Gang.

When she mentioned the Black Tiger Gang, she said, “The little Black Tiger Gang can’t protect you.”

The Black Tiger Gang Leader had the cultivation of an Immortal Master; Madame Zhao must have been aware of that. Her audacity in saying such a thing meant that she didn’t take the Gang Leader seriously at all.

“You should return to your cultivation! It’s better for you to show yourself less in the future. I’m worried that if they discover you, they’ll slaughter you on the spot to obtain the Demon Core and Phoenix Feather.”

Qin Niu reminded Fire Phoenix.

For now, the purpose of these two supreme powerhouses lurking in Shuangfeng Village was still unclear.

At the moment, he could only take things one step at a time.

Qin Niu was somewhat shaken and his desire to become stronger surged like never before.

After returning home, he did not mention Madame Zhao to anyone.

The five Termite spies that were hidden in Liu Qing’s house were also called back by him.

Without absolute power, it was still best to avoid provoking Madame Zhao. She had warned Qin Niu that if he angered her, she would directly annihilate his entire family.

At night, Qin Niu lay in bed, holding Wang Wanyan in his arms, but no matter what, he couldn’t fall asleep.

His mind tirelessly pondered over Madame Zhao’s motives.

With such terrifying strength, why would she stoop to involve herself with the likes of Xu Zhenchang? Wasn’t that degrading herself?

If she really were short of money, robbing any landlord could earn her several hundred, even a thousand Silver Money.

Moreover, after marrying Liu Qing, she had not borne any children. Could it be that she never shared a room with Liu Qing at all?

Finally, she was always in disguise, quarreling with Liu Qing to appear like a normal couple. She meddled with Xu Zhenchang and others, acting like a despicable woman, shameless for money, selling her body.

Devaluing herself to such an extent, what exactly was she after?

Qin Niu did not believe for a second that she did all this to amuse herself with the life of an ordinary person.

Even Qin Niu himself, currently only at the Innate Realm, found it impossible to bother with the trivial matters of ordinary people.

The villagers who wanted him to do something, unless they had some relationship with him, would definitely be turned away at the door.

This Madame Zhao was shrouded in mystery at every turn, utterly inscrutable.

The next day, Qin Niu got out of bed still somewhat distracted and uneasy.

The sky was drizzling, so he opted not to take his wives to the mountains for cultivation.

Shuangfeng Village was very peaceful, and Madame Zhao showed no unusual behavior.

Qin Niu stayed at home reading books and cultivating insects.

Approaching noontime, the sound of galloping horse carriages came from outside, stopping at his house.

“Is Master Qin at home?”

Someone outside asked.

Qin Niu signaled the servants to open the door and invite the visitor in.

Soon, Gongsun, the vice leader of the gang whom he had not seen for some days, walked in with a swagger.
