Chapter 459: Chapter 301: Gone

The man beside the woman, with a face full of awe, said, “The Qi Family and the Qin Family, they are the top clans of our province’s upper society. With common people, even if they have money, how could they be featured in the Guangyang Daily!!”

The woman nodded, her eyes full of amazement, “Exactly. Even the company I work for belongs to the Qin Family!! This Qin Keqing is really beautiful, and she’s a perfect match for this young master of the Qi Family.”

Liu Wentian took two steps and approached the newsstand in one go, snatching the newspaper directly from the woman’s hands.

“Hey!! What are you doing!!” The woman was startled by Liu Wentian and immediately glared at him with displeasure.

The man, noticing Liu Wentian’s sophisticated attire and his stern, somewhat fearsome face, quickly pulled the woman aside, “Forget it, we haven’t paid for the newspaper yet anyway, let’s go, let’s go!!”

Not wanting to cause trouble, the woman grabbed another copy of the newspaper from the newsstand, paid for it, and followed the man away.

...

The prominent headline on the Guangyang Daily read, “Hao Clan Wedding, Congratulations to Qi Chenghan and Qin Keqing: A Match Made in Heaven, Blessed Union!!” Below were the photos of Qin Keqing and Qi Chenghan, the woman noble and gorgeous, the man handsome and robust, looking indeed as the previous woman had said—a perfect match.

The wedding was scheduled for the morning after tomorrow!!

“Big brother, what’s wrong with you??” Cui Xiaozhu, seeing Liu Wentian’s grim face looking at the newspaper without speaking, felt a bit frightened.

“Nothing.” Liu Wentian smiled at her, then put the newspaper back, though he felt somewhat puzzled inside.

He had understood earlier that the Qi and Qin families were supposed to hold the wedding in four days, but now it had been moved up. Could it be because of him?

It seemed now that both the Qi Family and the Qin Family were somewhat wary of him, a strong fighter of the Wang Martial, afraid that delays might bring changes.

The morning after tomorrow, is it? Then I shall visit your Qi Family that morning!!

Although he knew that the wedding of the Qi and Qin families would probably be heavily guarded against him, Liu Wentian felt not the slightest fear. Since he had decided to go from the start, there was no reason for fear.

With a resolved mind, Liu Wentian’s thoughts returned to Cui Xiaozhu. She didn’t even have a bank card; how should he give her the two million?

Letting a little girl carry two million yuan back by herself was far too unsafe on the road.

After some thought, he decided to be thoroughly generous: withdraw the money and then take Cui Xiaozhu home, his help needed for her father’s leg problem as well.

Liu Wentian shared his plan with Cui Xiaozhu, who immediately agreed. She understood that carrying two million yuan home alone was indeed too dangerous. She already trusted Liu Wentian greatly, so she was naturally happy that he was willing to accompany her home.

It was already noon. Liu Wentian took Cui Xiaozhu to a nearby restaurant for lunch, and then they went to the bank to withdraw the money. When they left the bank, Liu Wentian was pulling a suitcase.

The suitcase contained the two million yuan, about twenty-five kilograms of cash, which naturally imposed no burden on Liu Wentian.

Guangyang City was vast; although its central areas were immensely bustling, many places were still undeveloped, like the Pingyang Mountain where Cui Xiaozhu lived, located on the outskirts of Guangyang City.

This place still preserved its natural scenic beauty, and many of the villagers living at the foot of the mountain made their livings by collecting medicinal herbs and hunting.

Following Cui Xiaozhu and changing several buses, Liu Wentian finally arrived there in the evening.

Looking at the distant mountains, Liu Wentian curiously asked, “Xiaozhu, is that Pingyang Mountain? Do you usually collect medicinal herbs on this mountain?”

“Yes,” Cui Xiaozhu nodded, “Many people around here live by collecting herbs and hunting on the mountain. Of course, some people have now started cultivating medicinal plants at the foot of the mountain, but that requires government approval.”

“Did your dad fall from the mountain while collecting herbs?” Liu Wentian followed behind Cui Xiaozhu who was leading the way and asked.

Cui Xiaozhu shook her head, her face showing a trace of horror, “No, my dad encountered the Snake King while collecting herbs. Frightened, he fell from a height of about fifty-six meters and broke his legs.”

“Oh?? Snake King?? What Snake King?” Liu Wentian asked, curious.

With awe in her eyes, Cui Xiaozhu said, “The Snake King is a very large python, said to be nearly ten meters long and as thick as a water bucket, existing for over a hundred years. My dad told me that when my grandfather was young, this Snake King already existed. Now it has become a spirit. A large group of professional snake catchers once came to capture the Snake King, but all attempts failed without even seeing a trace of the Snake King. It’s fortunate that he wasn’t discovered by the Snake King that day; otherwise, it would have been truly over.”

Saying this, Cui Xiaozhu’s face showed palpable relief, obviously still frightened by the memory.

Liu Wentian, hearing this, his eyes brightened. You see, in this world, if humans can cultivate, so can other creatures, though it is much harder for other beings with unopened spiritual intelligence.

Of course, this cultivation does not mean becoming those mythic beasts that spit clouds and fog; such creatures do not exist in this world, at least Liu Wentian had never seen them even in his dreams.

But by a twist of fate, other creatures also might have the potential to open their spiritual intelligence, making them much stronger than their regular kin.

According to Cui Xiaozhu, a group of professional snake catchers who came here looking for the Snake King didn’t even catch a glimpse of it. It’s very likely that this Snake King has acquired basic intelligence, knowing how to avoid danger.
