Chapter 484 - Chapter 484: Chapter 476: Eerie and Mysterious_1 (2/2)

“`

Is Liu Qing so keen to cuddle up in bed with his wife already?

He’s young, and he married a beautiful wife. It’s been a few years with no children, so it’s understandable if he tries a bit harder.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but when he looked at Liu Qing’s house, he always felt that the building had an eerie and sinister air about it, resembling a monstrous beast in the dark night ready to swallow a person whole.

He had been considering checking out the situation at Liu Qing’s home, but Qin Niu naturally wouldn’t want to disturb their private time now.

So, he carried the jar of wine and turned to walk back.

A few Termite had already quietly landed on the ground, heading towards Liu Qing’s house.

Shuangfeng Village was Qin Niu’s territory; whether dealing with spirits or demons wanting to cause trouble here, they had to ask Qin Niu’s permission first.

He hadn’t walked far when he sensed as if there were a pair of eyes lurking behind him.

Instantly, he felt the house of Liu Qing seemed even more ghastly and frightening.

Qin Niu’s Ink Blade was still being upgraded in the city. In case Madame Zhao did have a serious problem and a fight ensued, he really had no confidence in securing a sure victory. He doubted he could even protect himself.

The wisest course of action was to pretend to be oblivious to everything.

As long as he didn’t make any overt moves, no serious danger would likely occur.

He walked away nonchalantly, and only after some distance did the sensation of being surreptitiously observed, like a thorn in his side, fade away.

“It seems there is indeed something wrong in Liu Qing’s household.”

Now, Qin Niu’s power was not weak. Ordinary people covertly watching him would not be able to induce such prickling sensation.

Only someone with strength equal or greater than his, spying on him, could bring on such an invisible pressure.

When he returned home, he stored the jar of sour wine in his study as if it were a treasure.

He planned to drink a bowl every day from now on.

In his mind, he was contemplating how to investigate Madame Zhao.

Even if Madame Zhao truly was a demon, he wasn’t afraid of her, even without the Ink Blade.

Because if necessary, he could summon the Fire Phoenix to help.

This place was Shuangfeng Village, very close to Qifeng Mountain Range. If Qin Niu called the Fire Phoenix, it could hurry over to assist.

Besides, Qin Niu’s Insect Pets and the Green Ox were formidable. Even without calling on the Fire Phoenix, dealing with an ordinary Immortal Master shouldn’t be a problem.

His Green Demon Bee swarm had already grown to several dozens and recently, he had started training them in the All-Heaven Myriad Insects Formation.

It could significantly enhance the combat abilities of the Green Demon Bees and the swarm.

The Golden Light radiated by the Green Ox was effective against most enemies. In combination with the Insect Pets, it was enough to instantly kill those in the Spirit Qi Realm and defeat the Immortal Scholar Realm.

Ironically, Qin Niu himself, without the Ink Blade, now had quite subpar combat strength.

This also made him realize the importance of a weapon.

Previously, with the Ink Blade always by his side, he didn’t think much of it. Now with the Ink Blade away for upgrading, he realized how without it, he practically lacked any impressive martial skills.

Even his strongest Slash Martial Skill required a Spirit Weapon like the Ink Blade to increase the probability of triggering special attacks.

Ordinary weapons would likely be unable to execute special effects like Critical Chop and Rupture.

“I need to instruct my wives not to contact Madame Zhao alone; it could easily lead to danger.”

Qin Niu always felt that Xu Zhenchang, a mature man who made it from scratch, wouldn’t just get carried away and have an affair with Madame Zhao, then indebted himself for her— it didn’t seem logical.

Madame Zhao dared to ask him for money, even claiming she had a gravely ill mother who needed treatment.

Yet to Liu Qing, she said she had no one left in her maternal family.

This woman was truly quick to lie.

So far, there had been no evidence of her harming anyone, just deceiving men out of some money at most.

That’s another reason Qin Niu wasn’t in a rush to confront Madame Zhao.

Just as Qin Niu was about to leave his study, he sensed that one of the Termite he had sent to Liu Qing’s house had died— died for no apparent reason.

His heart trembled slightly at the thought— was it discovered, or had the Termite accidentally trespassed into some ‘forbidden zone’ in Liu Qing’s home which led to its death?
