Chapter 461 - Chapter 461: Chapter 453 Verdant Blood Verdant_1 (2/2)

The one who escaped the fastest on the battlefield must have been the Nine Insects Gang Leader.

That witch had long since vanished without a trace.

…

Three days later, the war was basically over.

The Black Tiger Gang emerged victoriously, while the Nine Insect Gang and the Shennong Sect were defeated.

Qin Niu also made a name for himself through this war, becoming the youngest and most promising Insect Master of the Black Tiger Gang.

Once the war ended, he returned to Shuangfeng Village with an extremely low profile.

Eager, he planted the half piece of the Soul Craving Tendril Staff he had obtained into the ground. He also needed to promptly organize and assimilate some of the spoils of war he had collected from the battlefield.

He appeared at his home’s doorstep, accompanied by Green Ox.

From about forty or fifty meters away, the gates to his home opened, and Xiao Qing was the first to rush out.

“Master!”

She called out with an expression filled with tremendous surprise.

“Sisters, come out quickly, the master really has returned, he has come back…”

Excitedly waving her hands, she continuously peered back into the courtyard.

Two beautiful figures dashed out from inside the house, Tang Caixian gently held her belly as she walked slightly slower.

Wang Wanyan, however, used the Misty Rain Elusive Step taught to her by Qin Niu, rapidly moving towards him.

“Husband!”

“Ah Niu brother!”

Seeing that it really was their husband returning home safe and sound, they couldn’t help but be overjoyed.

When Qin Niu was conscripted, the risk of dying on the battlefield was extremely high.

During times of war, many women’s husbands or unmarried sons went off to battle, never to return. Often, what awaited them were the husband’s personal belongings and some pension money.

The unexpectedly quick and safe return of Qin Niu thrilled them beyond expectation, and the anxiety that had been weighing on their hearts finally settled.

“How has everything been at home while I was away?”

Qin Niu, with one arm around his wife Wang Wanyan and the other holding his concubine Tang Caixian, walked towards the courtyard.

“Everything at home has been fine, we were just a bit worried about the husband’s safety. Has the war at the frontlines ended so soon?”

Wang Wanyan inquired.

“Ah Niu brother, you didn’t get homesick and run back, did you?” Tang Caixian asked, tilting her head.

“Indeed, I missed you quite a bit, but I haven’t deserted. The battlefront’s hostilities effectively ceased yesterday afternoon, and after reporting to the Gang Leader, I was permitted to return to Shuangfeng Village overnight. This Black Mare Horse was a gift from the Gang Leader, who said it would make my journey back more comfortable.”

Qin Niu gestured toward the Black Mare Horse that Xiao Qing was holding.

It was hard to decline the Black Tiger Gang Leader’s kind gesture, so he accepted it.

After all, with his current wealth, he certainly wouldn’t struggle to afford keeping a horse.

“Such a fine horse, even more majestic than the Sweaty Precious Horse my father has raised!”

Upon learning that her husband hadn’t fled back home, Wang Wanyan’s face immediately relaxed.

The end of the war signified that the Black Tiger Gang must have won.

Otherwise, Qin Niu would not have returned so quickly.

“Ah Niu brother, so we won?”

“Yes, we won. The Nine Insect Gang and the Shennong Sect suffered a crushing defeat.”

Qin Niu said with a smile and a nod.

“By the way, these are some good fields and shops within the city that I had Tang Yan take the opportunity to purchase for me. The land deeds and property deeds are all here. In a few days, when the wartime turbulence is completely settled and the government operations return to normal, we’ll go and register them at the official residence.”

With a large amount of silver on hand, it certainly couldn’t just sit there gathering dust.

Qin Niu had long wanted to buy around five thousand mu of good farmland.

Moreover, it needed to be as close to Jade Stream Town as possible, not too far away.

Due to the sudden outbreak of the war, and the Black Tiger Gang’s situation being extremely unfavorable at the time, many landlords and rich merchants panicked, selling off their properties and businesses at low prices.

Luckily, Qin Niu had planned ahead and had notified Tang Yan early on.
