Chapter Forty-Six

"You all need to come up with a plan, we can't let Long Xiaoshan stir up trouble anymore." Inside a room in a three-story building at the entrance of the village.

Long Fakui and his cronies, including Ergouzi and a few others, were standing there, conspiring.

Because they felt threatened.

"Village Chief, just tell us what to do, I, Ergouzi will go through fire and water for you, I'll follow your commands to the letter," Ergouzi pledged his loyalty.

Long Fakui, with a grim face and taking a puff of smoke, said, "The only reason that kid can be so arrogant is because of the investment from the Lily Hotel. We just need to make him lose money. Once he's at a loss, the Lily Hotel will definitely stop investing in him, and he'll be nothing."

"But how can we make him lose money, Uncle?" a young man asked.

Long Fakui, stubbing out his cigarette with force, said, "Put something in his pond."

Ergouzi and the others jumped, saying, "Village Chief, are you talking about poisoning, killing all his fish and shrimp?"

A sound of a basin hitting the ground came from outside.

"Who?" Long Fakui immediately stood up and asked.

Ergouzi and the others quickly opened the door to see Jin Lian picking up a basin in a fluster.

Long Fakui walked over, looked outside, then yanked Jin Lian into the room, barking, "What are you doing?"

"Nothing, I just went to get some water to wash little Yu's face," Jin Lian said hastily.

"Humph, did you hear anything just now?" Long Fakui was staring at Jin Lian, who was trying to avoid eye contact, and he shouted, "Speak!"

Jin Lian said worriedly, "Fakui, we are all fellow villagers, Xiaoshan hasn't really done anything to you. If you poison his fish, you'll reap what you sow..."

Slap!

Long Fakui slapped Jin Lian to the ground.

"You useless thing, you don't know shit."

Long Fakui kicked her a few times more, then from the doorway, a crying sound came. A sixteen- or seventeen-year-old girl stood at the door, crying bitterly. Long Fakui yelled, "What are you crying for?"

Ergouzi and the others knew that Long Fakui had only one daughter, little Yu, who was simple-minded.

In the village, she was secretly called the simple girl.

After that, there were no more children, and Long Fakui moved to the county, where it was said he kept a second wife and had sons.

Long Xiaoshan was quite astonished as he watched the rotating flow of energy within his Dantian.

Little did he know, this was not ordinary Inner Strength, but True Qi, which only Cultivators and Innate Martial Artists possessed—far more formidable than Inner Strength.

He had always thought that Elder Chang was teaching him martial arts.

About a minute later, the black oily substance finished flowing out of his body. Long Xiaoshan smelled a stench and quickly jumped out of bed because the smell was unbearable. Glancing outside, he saw that it was pitch black, with crickets chirping. He hurriedly stripped off his clothes and dashed out.

By Shieyan Rock, there was a clear little stream.

As he began to run, the flow of energy in his Dantian spontaneously surged outwards, flowing towards his feet, whoosh! It was almost as if he could fly.

His body felt several times lighter.

As he ran, he became a blurred shadow in the darkness.

He nearly shouted out.

Because he was moving too fast.

He felt almost out of control, and in just a few breaths, he covered the several dozen meters to the riverbank.

He leaped into the river.

A wave of coldness washed over him, extremely comfortable. In July or August, soaking in the river was invigorating. This small stream was a popular spot for the villagers to bathe, as the village was too poor for proper bathing facilities. However, now it was night.

It was at least eight o'clock, and there was no one in the river.

He stripped completely.

With a dive, he plunged into the river and swam forward.

When the air in his lungs was depleted, the energy in his abdomen surged forth, and Long Xiaoshan unexpectedly felt no need to hold his breath. He was as free as he was on land. His eyes lit up with realization that this "Inner Strength" even allowed him to breathe underwater.

He swam freely in the water, and being young, the childlike joy in him surged. He swam around nonstop, like a fish, for over ten minutes, until he felt that the breath he had been holding was almost used up.

As he was about to swim back to the surface, he suddenly heard the voices of two people talking.

In the stillness of the night, his ears were sensitive, and he heard them clearly.

"Tao, what's going on between you and little Xiaoshan? Tell sis." The voice was none other than Zhang Widow.

"What do you mean what's going on? There's nothing between little Xiaoshan and me," Chun Tao replied.

"Still claiming there's nothing? You've caused quite a scene. Are you daft? Was it worth trying to hang yourself? Even if you ended up with little Xiaoshan, so what? Xiaoshan is capable and good-looking. I'm even envious of you. That's far better than giving yourself away cheaply to that old bastard Long Fakui," Zhang Widow chided.

"Sis, what are you saying? I really didn't do anything with Xiaoshan. Plus, I'm a woman of ill omen; I can't bring misfortune on Xiaoshan," Chun Tao said in a disheartened tone.

"What ill omen? The feng shui of this village is just bad, taking the lives of men, it has nothing to do with you. By that logic, since my man died early too, I must also bring bad luck to my husband," Zhang Widow scoffed with a cold laugh.
