Chapter 486 - Chapter 486: Chapter 478 Madame Zhaos True Face_1 (2/2)

As Qin Niu patted his shoulder, he had unnoticeably released a Green Silk Worm.

It adhered tightly to the top of Liu Qing’s head, integrating perfectly with his hair.

Since Liu Qing had not cultivated any Cultivation Technique, the rapid increase in his strength could very likely be the result of Madame Zhao’s secret assistance.

Qin Niu couldn’t help but become more curious about Madame Zhao.

At least from what he could see now, Madame Zhao seemed to have nothing to do with those vicious and bloodthirsty demons and monsters.

After taking leave from Liu Shengli’s home, Qin Niu, accompanied by Xiao Qing, entered the mountain.

It had been many days since he last traveled on this mountain path by Xie Laizi’s house. Perhaps due to fewer people entering the mountains, Qin Niu felt that the path had become desolate.

If it weren’t for pests devouring almost all the foliage in the mountains, this path would certainly appear somewhat eerie.

Qin Niu wasn’t afraid of ghosts or monsters; in fact, for a while, he even hoped he would encounter a demon beast.

Then he would kill the demon and obtain its elixir to help his wives refine a Boundary-breaking Elixir, aiding them in breaking through to the Innate Realm quickly.

Unfortunately, the mountains were so devoid of demons that he hadn’t encountered any during that time.

Now that he had subdued the Fire Phoenix and his horizons had broadened, he no longer cared about ordinary monsters.

Only powerful beasts could pique his interest now.

As he continued walking into the mountains, Qin Niu eavesdropped on some sounds coming from Liu Qing’s direction through the brood moth of the Green Silk Worms.

“A’Qing, are you really planning to go work as a laborer at the Qin Family’s house?”

This was Madame Zhao’s voice.

It seemed Liu Qing had already gone home and told her about his plan to work as a laborer at the Qin Residence.

“Don’t you want me to earn more money? Working as a laborer for the Qin Residence will definitely pay more than chopping wood. Then you’d be happier and stop arguing with me.”

Liu Qing really had nothing to say to his wife.

He probably still didn’t know about Madame Zhao’s flirtatious behavior outside of the home. Otherwise, he might be utterly heartbroken.

“Are you saying you’re tired of arguing with me?”

Madame Zhao’s voice grew much louder.

“How could I tire of you! I just don’t want to see you unhappy and want to make you happier. These past few years since you married me, I haven’t given you a single joyful day; it’s all because I’m not capable enough. My dear, rest assured, once I start working as a laborer at the Qin house, I will surely learn planting techniques. Once my salary increases, I’ll be able to give you a better life.”

Liu Qing said to his wife, full of remorse.

If it weren’t for listening in on their conversation through the Green Silk Worm, Qin Niu would have continued to believe that Liu Qing and Madame Zhao had a very strained relationship.

After all, Liu Shengli had heard that the couple often argued.

Many things really can’t be understood just from what others say.

After hearing what Liu Qing said, Madame Zhao fell into a brief silence.

“You don’t mind that I can’t bear you children?”

“I don’t mind at all; it’s just my bad luck,” Liu Qing responded again.

“What did Master Qin tell you?”

She began to inquire about what Qin Niu had said.

This immediately made Qin Niu tense up. After careful thought, he realized that the words he had said to Liu Qing contained no flaws and thus relaxed.

Sure enough, Liu Qing repeated verbatim everything Master Qin had said, and after hearing it, Madame Zhao said nothing more.

“Alright, go chop wood in the mountains! You must chop a full thirteen loads today, or don’t come back for dinner!”

Madame Zhao said harshly.

“My dear, remember to take care of yourself. I’m off to chop wood in the mountains.”

Liu Qing was very obedient.

Taking his tools, he left the house.

Qin Niu was somewhat speechless; men and women were the same. Once they fell in love with someone, they could easily become blinded by love.

Tang Caixian was all but completely compliant to Qin Niu, and Liu Qing was unquestioningly indulgent and loving towards Madame Zhao.

Chopping thirteen loads of wood in a day was more than twice the workload of an ordinary woodcutter.
