Chapter 282 - Chapter 282: Chapter 275: Jiu Yin in Distress_1 (2/2)

According to his understanding, countrywomen were often adept at kitchen tasks. These two young women would be nimble and able to quickly start a roaring fire for him.

Moreover, women were more timid and thus easier to control.

“Master Qin, Master Qin, this one is my daughter, and this is my concubine, please show mercy and spare them! If it’s silver money you want, I can give it to you,” pleaded the owner of the house, a wealthy man in his fifties.

He was of similar status to Wang Furen, considered as someone with modest wealth.

The daughter and the concubine were not far apart in age and evidently knew how to enjoy life.

In any era, as long as one had money, life could be quite comfortable.

Qin Niu had no time to explain further to the old man.

“Cut the chatter, just have them help with the fire. I don’t intend to mistreat them. If you prattle on, don’t blame me for slaughtering you,” he said sternly.

Qin Niu flashed his Ink Blade, a menacing look on his face.

The two women and children screamed in fright, shaking all over.

Ordinary civilians hardly had any rights before the powerful and were subject to arbitrary manipulation.

“Hurry up.”

With another intimidating shout from Qin Niu, the two women, weeping and wailing, led the way to the kitchen at the back.

The male owner gritted his teeth and then relented; he wanted to fight, but he was also somewhat afraid of dying.

He could only watch helplessly as Qin Niu entered the kitchen and didn’t dare to follow.

Fortunately, Qin Niu was not a villain like Wang Haikun. Otherwise, this entire family would have been in serious trouble today.

Under his order, the two women quickly lit a fierce fire.

I hey were terrified, unsure if Qin Niu would commit violence against them.

Thankfully, Qin Niu focused on taking out two Metal Bug Canisters and heating them over the fire.

“Keep the fire burning strongly, or don’t blame me for being impolite,” he warned.

The two women repeatedly agreed, their fear palpable.

Meanwhile, the male owner, having seen Qin Niu forcing his concubine and daughter into the kitchen without returning, felt like he wanted to die.

Gathering his courage, he peeked into the kitchen at the back.

He could see his concubine and daughter tending the fire and that they had not been harmed, which allowed him to breathe a slight sigh of relief.

About half an hour later, Qin Niu realized that the king insects in the bug canisters were resistant to the fire and had not died completely.

He had no choice but to continue roasting them.

He didn’t dare to open the bug canisters, as the insects would immediately escape.

Thus, after another half an hour or so, the king insects’ bodies finally stopped moving.

Yet, he didn’t allow himself to relax and kept roasting them.

Within the Spirit Trapping Formation, Elder Jiu Yin suddenly let out a cry of pain and left a wide opening in his defense.

Vice City Lord Bai seized the moment and did not hesitate.

He unsheathed his sword and slashed at him.

But two bodyguards blocked the attack.

Elder Jiu Yin wailed, “Woe is me! My king insects have been killed by that brat… Oh, the hatred!”

One could imagine the blow it was to Elder Jiu Yin to have his king insects, which he had painstakingly raised for years, killed.

More urgent crises awaited him now.

His spirit greatly damaged again, Elder Jiu Yin could barely stand up. Staggering, he was unable to continue fighting. His two bodyguards were strong, but they were certainly no match for Vice City Lord Bai.

If reinforcements didn’t arrive in time, Elder Jiu Yin would not escape his fate today..
