Chapter 126: Chapter 121 Complete Resolution i

Translator: 549690339 |

The reputation of Insect Masters isn’t favorable; in the eyes of most people, they even belong to an infamous existence.

Why?

Because the vast majority of Insect Masters either raise spiders, centipedes, scorpions, or other venomous insects.

A single bite, at the least, causes several days of pain, at worst, results in writhing on the ground in agony, screaming in pain.

Even more severe cases lead to immediate death upon falling to the ground.

For a long period, Insect Masters even became synonymous with snakes and scorpions.

There’s also another reason the image of Insect Masters isn’t very positive. Most of those who raise insects come from impoverished backgrounds and lack higher education, leading them to sometimes behave barbarically.

Besides, the more solitary and vengeful a person is, the more likely they are to cultivate powerful insects.

Because they have only one thing on their mind: to exhaust all means, regardless of the consequences, to strengthen their insects and then seek their revenge.

For instance, Green Demon is a typical representative from among them.

This also makes the general public even more fearful of Insect Masters.

This officer, when he would go down to the countryside on ordinary days, carried himself arrogantly, as if he wanted to swagger like a crab.

But at this moment, he was filled with fear, particularly afraid of angering this Insect Master and bringing the disaster of extermination on his entire family.

“Get lost!”

Qin Niu concluded that it was about enough, commanded the officer with a shout, granting him what felt like a royal pardon. The officer scrambled to his feet and bowed repeatedly, “Thank you, Master Qin, for your mercy!” Then, he clambered onto the horse carriage in a fluster.

“Keep these two Silver Money, I never let people work for free! And I don’t like it when people take my Silver Money and don’t work!”

This officer, who would have rather died than take the money, saw Qin Niu throw the Silver Money to him with a frosty look and dared not refuse.

It was only after driving the horse carriage far away and realizing that Qin Niu wasn’t chasing after him that he lashed the horse with his whip.

“Giddy up!”

The horse carriage raced away, fleeing the terrifying Shuangfeng Village.

Wang Furen emerged, supported by his family, groaning in pain.

“Thankyou, Master Qin, for your intervention!”

Clamping down on his teeth and enduring the pain, he bowed in thanks.

If it weren’t for Qin Niu stepping in just now, a major disaster would have befallen his family.

The people shall not contend with officials since ancient times.

Despite having offended just a minor officer, if he were to go back to the city and complain, he could immediately bring great trouble upon the Wang Family.

Officials protect one another.

You have to look at the master before you beat the dog.

The officer came to the door by carriage to pick people up and moreover, it was the Wang Family who volunteered to participate in the Lantern Festival. However, not only did Miss Wang refuse to go, but she also beat the officer. Wasn’t this making a mockery of the official matters?

Once the higher-ups learned of this, they would surely be incensed.

Even reporting this to the middle ranks of the government would promptly lead to a decree to capture the Wang father and daughter in order to protect the government’s authority.

“Thankyou, Master Qin!”

Wang Wanyan, supporting her injured father, curtsied deeply towards Qin Niu.

She looked even thinner, but there was added agility in her every movement.

“Don’t be polite, Miss Wang should still call me Air Niu! The title ‘Master Qin’ sounds quite awkward to me.”

Qin Niu had always had a favorable view of her.

But time had passed, and their statuses had undergone significant changes.

In the past, she was a rich miss whom Qin Niu could only look up to.

She was not quite considered a daughter of wealth.

At least, one had to be at the level of the Yan Family’s daughters to be barely called a wealthy young lady.

Now, Qin Niu had become a respected Insect Master, while she remained a commoner.

Nevertheless, she also had her advantages and potential. Her stunning beauty and talent could give her opportunities to attach herself to a noble son and become a concubine of a powerful family.

As for becoming the principal wife, frankly, that was very difficult.

Even if a noble son did take a liking to her, at best, she would be brought home as a concubine.

The larger the family, the more they adhere to equal matches.

Only through strong alliances can a family become safer and more potent.

The direct children of large families carry an unshirkable mission from birth. They need to find ways to preserve and even enhance the prosperity of the family.

Marriage is often one of the most direct and effective means.

Not just the children of large families, but even ancient emperors had to consider whether the woman’s background included a strong family that could help secure their throne.

Thus, Wang Furen’s aspirations were more akin to a Wart Toad dreaming of swan meat while lying in the mud.

The likelihood of his daughter successfully climbing the ranks was as slim as winning the lottery jackpot.

“Uncle Wang, some matters concern your family’s private affairs, which as an outsider, I shouldn’t be voicing. These last few years, since the death of Old Master Liu, you and Miss Wang have been greatly supportive of me. It’s precisely because of this connection that today I didn’t hesitate to step in and help your family resolve this crisis.

However, I can save your family once, but not a second time.

Children and grandchildren have their own fortune. In the future, you should follow Miss Wang’s heart!

You wish for her to marry a powerful son, but the reality is that this is difficult to achieve.

With your family’s conditions, not to mention marrying the son of the City Commandant, it would be extremely challenging even to become the principal wife in the Yan Family. Your daughter sees this much clearer than you do.

Since ancient times, being close to the ruler is like being close to a tiger.

If your family possessed strength comparable to the other side, perhaps Miss Wang could have enough status and safety. Otherwise, even if she married into a large family, the internal struggle in the mansion’s back courtyard would be more vicious than palace intrigue. A single defeat could spell catastrophe for your family.

Moreover, this involves trading her lifelong happiness to become a man’s appendage, which would be excessively cruel to Miss Wang.

From what I know of Miss Wang, the love she seeks is certainly one of equality and mutual respect, not a so-called privileged life exchanged for appeasing men with her body and beauty.”

Qin Niu’s words made Wang Furen nod repeatedly.
