Chapter 7: Heart Too Soft

  Deserted Moon Castle

  The Palace of the Moon

  Qian Kui, around 40 years old, strong and robust, is one of the stewards in the Moon Palace, a top-notch fighter with the strength of nine cows.

  Many of these slaves were trained and educated by him, Qian Yonglai and Qian Yongfu were quite talented and were even adopted as his sons, taking his surname.

  These two sons had been very filial to him, so he was particularly fond of them and arranged for them to be by the side of the unruly Moon Absolute Young Master.

  At this moment, the sky had gradually darkened, making him feel extremely impatient.

  "Someone come, go to the burial mound and take a look. Yonglai and Yongfu just helped Moon Extinguisher Young Master deal with a corpse, how can they be so late in returning? Don't they want this month's salary anymore? It seems like I need to teach them a lesson, or else they'll follow Moon Extinguisher Young Master and forget the dignity of their foster father!"

  "Yes, Lord Qian." A subordinate who had followed Qian Kuai for a long time, named Qian Yong, a warrior with the strength of six oxen, responded and immediately left.

  After dark.

  Qian Yong brought Qian Yonglai and Qian Yongfu back to the main hall of the Moon Mansion.

  Only saw Qian Yonglai and Qian Yongfu, at this moment their limbs were twisted, with a face of terror, seeing Qian Kuai as if they had seen a great savior in their fate.

  "Uncle, save me!"

  "Uncle, save me!"

  Seeing the two brothers in such a miserable state, Qian Ku looked at Qian Yong and said coldly:

  "What's going on here?"

  "I don't know either. When I went there, the two brothers almost got eaten by a monster. The two of them were talking nonsense all the way, and I couldn't hear what they were saying." Qian Yong replied.

  "Foster father, it was that little brat, the one who crashed into Young Master Yue's carriage a few days ago. That little brat actually possesses the strength of five oxen, and he didn't die. You took out your whip to flog him, and now look at the state we're in."

  "Yes, that kid even snatched away the money we had prepared to offer you as a tribute. You must stand up for us."

  Two brothers with a face full of resentment and anger, their faces twisted in a scowl, as if they would like to skin Xuan Yuan alive.

  "How can I tolerate this tone? A lowly commoner, actually daring to lay hands on someone from the Yue Manor, it's simply a disregard for the people of the Yue Manor."

  "Uncle, tomorrow you must take people to the burial mound, cut off that kid's limbs, make him suffer a thousand cuts and not die, apply salt on his body, let him be worse than dead."

  "I'll castrate him with my own hands..."

  All sorts of bitter and poisonous language spewed forth from the mouths of the two brothers.

  Qian Kuai suddenly understood what was going on. On that day, the young man's strength was only equivalent to one cow's power. Although he hadn't used his full strength to whip him to death, those few lashes weren't something an ordinary person could withstand. Yet, in just a few days, the young man had recovered from his injuries and even possessed five cows' worth of strength, which made Qian Kuai feel unbelievable.

  Looking at the two adopted sons with a stench that reached the sky, Qian Ku furrowed his brow for no reason, feeling disgusted, and waved his hand:

  "Take them away and settle them down properly. Tomorrow, let's go together to Luanzigang."

  Shallow entry into the Warcraft forest.

  Xuanyuan was lucky enough to hit a wild boar weighing over 600 catties, and then brought it back to his tree house. When he passed by the Luozanggang, the sky was still bright, and he saw that the two unlucky slaves had not been eaten yet, but were being pecked at by a group of crows, making them cry out in pain. Xuanyuan secretly rejoiced and didn't pay much attention to it, directly returning home.

  Back home, he easily slaughtered the wild boar with a familiar routine. During the slaughter, Xuan Yuan felt somewhat annoyed that the dagger at his waist did not produce the same miraculous effect as when he killed the demonic bear. However, its sharpness was beyond doubt, and Xuan Yuan didn't think too much about it.

  Finally, this head of over 600 catties of wild boar was made into fresh meat and dried meat, which would be enough food for at least ten days.

  After eating, Xuan Yuan put on a small pants and sat cross-legged on the shore of the stream, continuing to practice the "Tian Long Lian Qun Jue". Because he had no more clean clothes to change into, Xuan Yuan thought that in a few days he would go to Yue Huang City to make some purchases. Adding his original 936 Dou Zhe coins and those obtained from the two evil slaves, his total wealth now came to 4636 Dou Zhe coins, which could buy quite a few good things.

  The sky had gradually darkened, and Yin Zhenluo sat on a flat, smooth rock not far from the tree house, quietly watching Xuan Yuan practice, with a quiet smile on her face, and a hint of confusion in her beautiful eyes, as if these few days were the most carefree days she had ever spent in her life.

  Xuanyuan did not know that a disaster had already quietly descended.

  The essence of the sun and moon, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, merged into Xuan Yuan's body, making him feel that his skin had become tighter, his strength gradually increasing, as if his entire body was breathing. Xuan Yuan was confident, even if he covered his mouth and nose, he could still breathe freely through his skin, far exceeding the limits he had imagined in his previous life. This is the wonder of cultivation.

  And Xuan Yuan could also vaguely feel that beneath his skin, his muscles were seething.

  Three days passed like this, unexpectedly, Xuan Yuan directly reached the strength of nine cows in just three more days.

  From an ordinary person with a strength of less than one cow, to reaching a strength of nine cows in just six short days, this is simply unimaginable.

  Some people, after decades of practice, can only stop at the peak of a fighter, and at most, they have achieved the effect of prolonging life and slowing down aging. However, Xuan Yuan has reached it in just six short days, which is unimaginable.

  There is something called talent, like Qian Kuai in the Moon Palace, who has reached his current age and is only at the peak of Dou. It can be imagined how difficult it is to cultivate a path, and without talent, it's simply impossible to succeed.

  With the increase of Xuan Yuan's strength, his daily food intake also increased, and he could eat up to 10 kilograms of meat in one meal.

  Because while cultivating, one must be able to keep up with the material aspect, otherwise, it will only empty one's body. According to Yin Zhenluo, cultivators who have reached a higher realm no longer eat meat, but instead eat dan medicine to supplement their power. Dan medicine has fewer impurities and is unlike meat which has many impurities, making the nutrients that the body can absorb very limited.

  But for Xuan Yuan at present, it's already enough, carnivores are brave and lean.

  In these days, Gu Xing has been accompanying Xuan Yuan by his side, and seems to have gained some benefits as well. His silver fur has become even more lustrous, eating tens of kilograms of meat every day, plus the unintentional cleansing of the heavenly spiritual energy gathered by Xuan Yuan, making Gu Xing's body grow a lot bigger.

  Xuanyuan took a look at Guxing, made a prediction, and found that Guxing had at least six oxen of strength, much stronger than before. With Guxing's sharp fangs, Xuanyuan didn't dare let him take a bite.

  Just as Xuan Yuan finished his cultivation, suddenly, from a hundred meters away, came a voice of angry shouting.

  "This damned kid, he actually dared to lay hands on the two adopted sons of Qian Guanjia, it's as if he doesn't take our Moon Manor seriously. Young Master Yue is furious, now issuing an order: within tens of miles around the Luanyanggang, dig three feet deep and find that kid, no matter what."

  "They've been searching for three days and three nights, if that little brat is found, he must be made to suffer a fate worse than death!" The two of them were gnashing their teeth with hatred, since they already knew about Xuan Yuan's intelligence, which possessed the strength of five oxen, so the people sent out were at least slaves with the strength of five oxen.

  "Heh heh, Qian Guanjia has spoken. Whoever finds this little guy will be rewarded with 300 Dou Shi coins. Let's go look for him first."

  Two slaves of the Moon Palace were shouting and searching around, but at this moment, they found a man and a wolf walking towards them.

  When they found Xuan Yuan, both of them were shocked and their faces showed surprise.

  "Haha, we've finally found you, you little brat, dog trash. You actually made us search for you for so long. A lowly commoner like you dares to provoke the Moon Manor? You're really tired of living."

  "You're the kind of scum who'd have to die ten thousand times to make up for your crimes. Hurry up and kowtow a few hundred times, hand over the money you stole, and we might spare your life. And that wolf pelt on you isn't bad either - flay it alive and make a wolf cloak, it'll definitely be to the liking of Young Master Yue."

  From the two slaves of the Moon Palace, a power burst out that far exceeded Qian Yonglai and Qian Yongfu's combined strength. One had the strength of five oxen, while the other was even stronger, with the strength of six oxen!

  If it were three days ago, Xuan Yuan might still be a pushover, but now he possesses the strength of nine oxen and feels invincible, capable of crushing even an ordinary stone into powder, let alone the two people in front of him.

  "If you two kowtow to me a few hundred times and hand over the money on your bodies, I might spare your lives. Otherwise, looking at these stinky hides of yours, even if I feed them to Gu Xing, he won't mind." Xuan Yuan coldly smiled, as if looking at idiots, staring at the two house slaves.

  One of the house slaves, furious, was about to shout, but just saw Xuan Yuan slap a white airflow directly on the face of the house slave with six oxen strength. With a crisp sound, several yellow teeth drew a beautiful arc in the sky, and blood mixed with saliva spurted out of his mouth. The house slave was slapped by Xuan Yuan like a spinning top, turning three or four times in place before his brain buzzed and he saw stars all over the sky, directly fainting.

  At this moment, another house slave let out a miserable howl. Lone Star's mouth was extremely vicious and bit down on his buttocks, revealing the femur and causing blood to flow profusely. This house slave seemed like a little girl who had been wronged, crying out for her father and mother. With Lone Star possessing the strength of six oxen, it would be easy for him to deal with this slave.

  Xuanyuan's face lit up with satisfaction, and after searching the two people, he found a total of 600 pieces of Dou Shi currency and 2400 pieces of Dou Zhe currency.

  It seems that all the servants in the Yuefu family are rich and oily.

  "Hahaha... " Xuan Yuan laughed so hard that his mouth could reach his ears, let alone how happy he was. Nothing else made him happier than doing this kind of thing.

  That one Moon Manor slave who was bitten by the Lone Star and covered in blood, but not in great danger of losing his life, directly fainted.

  After collecting the spoils of war, Xuan Yuan took out the dagger in his hand and wanted to kill them personally. However, just as he swung the dagger, Xuan Yuan still didn't stab it down after all, and sighed to himself:

  "Never mind, I don't have a habit of killing people. Let's spare those who should be spared. Whether you live or die depends on your luck."

  After finishing speaking, Xuan Yuan directly pulled up the legs of the two people and threw them into the small stream, letting them flow down along with the water.

  Yin Zhenluo, this peerless beauty who seemed like a fairy from a painting, quietly watched Xuan Yuan, doing all of this with not a hint of expression on her face.

  It seems that Xuan Yuan does not acknowledge such behavior, but neither does he deny it, and finally mutters to himself:

  "After all, still just a child, too soft-hearted."
