The Hundred Treasures Insect Bag contained a large number of Termites.
Among them were Soldier Ants and Worker Ants possessing highly toxic venom. Just one sting from their poison, and anyone below the Innate Realm would likely drop dead on the spot.
Even Qin Niu, their owner, had no antidote.
Perhaps a Detoxification Pill could cure their venom, but it had not been tried.
“You killed a member of the He Family, you must give an explanation.”
He Siye replied unhurriedly.
When it came to putting on airs, Qin Niu was convinced this man was second to none.
When it was time to flee with his tail between his legs, he did not hesitate. When it was time to strut, he strutted with style and swagger.
“Who kidnapped my fiancée?”
Qin Niu asked.
“I did. That woman was feisty, but she had smooth skin and a top-notch figure. I may have been a bit rough with her, but she brought it upon herself.”
The answer came from the same middle-aged man.
This person must be the head of the Yan Family Protectors, not weak at all—probably at the peak of the Acquired Realm.
But still a bit short of the Innate Realm.
With that kind of strength, he definitely had the means to run amok in the countryside.
Yet his retribution had come today, in the form of Qin Niu.
“Besides you, was there anyone else?”
“Capturing that little vixen alone, do we need several people for that? Our master’s intention is this, you kneel today and give a kowtow, admit your mistake to the He Family, and we’ll let bygones be bygones. Your fiancée will be returned to you.
If you don’t recognize what’s good for you, thinking you can act recklessly before the He Family just because you have some ability and status, even if we can’t do much to a distinguished nobleman like you, as for your future wife, our master will take full responsibility.”
The middle-aged man’s words carried an undertone of arrogance.
Clearly, the He Family had dared to seek revenge and reclaim their standing by investigating Qin Niu’s background thoroughly.
What they could find out was probably just surface-level information.
As for Qin Niu’s true strength and his resources, the He Family likely had no clue.
The He Family thought Qin Niu was a native of Shuangfeng Village with a history of only a few months. Even if he had some strength and opportunities, they were limited.
Moreover, Qin Niu was young, which only further convinced the He Family that he had become arrogant with a little power.
Arrogance is the nature of most young people.
“Sun Gui spoke well, I, the fourth master, do enjoy that. Taming the unruly fiancées of the disobedient, that’s my favorite pastime,” He Siye said with a smile, nodding repeatedly.
“You, are you not afraid of the law?”
Wang Furen, hearing that his daughter might be tarnished by He Siye if taken back, was both anxious and angry. His daughter was the apple of his eye.
Besides, if she were defiled by He Siye, there would only be two paths left: either to take her own life or to beg to become He Siye’s concubine.
The men of the He Family were famously licentious in the local area.
He Siye’s grandfather was the kind to even marry a cousin.
He Siye’s father was also promiscuous, fathering a large brood of children. Seven sons alone.
“Haha, the law? In these parts, might is right. I, the fourth master, have taken not less than three fiancées, what’s one more to me? Anyway, the He Family has plenty of land and grain, we can afford it, rest assured,” He Siye said joyfully.
Not to mention locally, even in Black Tiger City, or the entire domain of the Hundred-Tempering Immortal Sect, power means everything.
The law can only restrain the common folk.
It has always been so, throughout history.
“Those who insult me, kill! Those who insult my family, kill! Those who insult my fiancée, kill!”
Qin Niu repeated the word ‘kill’ three times.
Since the He Family knew he was a first-class noble yet still dared to seek retribution, Qin Niu would have to establish an even greater deterrence.
