Chapter 9: The Butterfly Lovers

  The handkerchief was about the size of a palm, with a pair of colorful butterflies embroidered on it, and below the butterflies were three words - Huo Die Yun. Apart from that, there was nothing special about it.

  This square cloth is a low-grade treasure, and the treasure and spiritual instrument are both magical instruments that only cultivators can use. However, the treasure is much more powerful than the spiritual instrument. Generally, it is at least a foundation-establishing period cultivators magical instrument for refining, and most foundation-establishing period cultivators will create their own life-bound treasure to refine within their body. Unless they die or their Dao disappears, they wont easily show it to others. The importance of treasures to foundation-establishing cultivators goes without saying.

  Cultivators in the Refining Qi stage cant use treasure at all, unless its a cultivator in the Building Foundation stage who can barely control it and still cant exert its full power. Being able to exert 30% of its power is already very good.

  Even if the foundation-building monks can only exert 30% of the treasures power, its might is still unimaginable.

  "This piece of cloth should be called Hu Die Ling." Qin Lingyun flipped her hand and put the Hu Die Ling into her storage bag. After thinking for a moment, she tried to put Li Haozes storage bag into her own storage bag, but found it couldnt be done.

  "Originally, storage bags couldnt be put into other storage bags, so Ill just bury it." Qin Lingyun dug a small hole in the corner of the wall and buried Li Haozes storage bag inside. She then casually put another storage bag into her bosom before starting to meditate and cultivate her energy.

  The next day in the afternoon, at the entrance of Qinjia Village, a team of more than 20 people came over carrying two sedan chairs.

  The man sitting in the sedan chair was a man in his forties, with a pale face and long whiskers, his eyes gleaming with a fierce light, but at this moment his face was beaming with joy, wearing a festive brocade robe, and on his finger he wore a large emerald ring.

  "What I, Li Shuangjiang, want to get, I will definitely get. Who dares to stop me... Hmph!" Li Shuangjiang coldly snorted.

  Li Shuangjiang is also known as Li Lao Hu, a tyrant in the surrounding area of ??hundreds of miles. The Li family and the current county magistrate of Qing Shui County are relatives, so few people nearby dare to provoke him.

  Li Lao Hu was a tyrannical man who loved women, and had already forcibly taken many civilian girls as his concubines. This time he came to Qins village for Qin Lingyun, and it all started because of her cultivation. As a cultivator, she was different from ordinary people, with great changes in both her soul and body, having an unusual attraction to mortals.

  Li Lao Hu had just arrived at the entrance of Qinjia Village when someone informed Qin Da Hus family of his arrival. Qin Da Hu sat in the main room, holding a dry tobacco pipe, surrounded by swirling smoke, and his eyes were filled with bloodshot, apparently he hadnt slept well for several days.

  Qin Daniu patted his chest and said angrily: "Wait for me to go out and beat Li Lao Hu out of Qins village."

  Qin Dahutu let out a loud shout and pointed at Qin Daniu with his cigarette holder: "Li Laohu brought more than 20 people, whats the use of you going up there?"

  Huangs family wiped away tears on one side: "Is there really no way?"

  Qin Dahuo sighed and didnt speak, he was at a loss for what to do now. Sending Qin Lingyun to Li Laohu as a concubine was absolutely impossible, but if he didnt send out Qin Lingyun, the consequences would be severe, and he knew it too.

  Hes already at such an old age, death is not what hes afraid of, but what about the Huang family, Qin Daniu and his wife, as well as Qin Lingsu? Refusing Li Laohu would definitely get him killed. Qin Datou was filled with regret in his heart, if it werent for a thread of luck, three days ago when Li Laohus matchmaker came to their door for the first time, they would have already packed up and escaped.

  After escaping, no matter what the future holds, at least I dont have to suffer this misfortune now.

  The atmosphere in the main house was extremely oppressive, and from a distance, they had already heard the sound of the suona. The other villagers in Qinjia Village were all hiding at home, and no one dared to speak out for the Qin Dahu family. Although they were fellow villagers, people are just so realistic that when it comes to the safety of their own families, no one is willing to take a stand.

  Just then, Qin Lingyun, who had been calm all along, said lightly: "Father and mother, you dont have to worry, I have my own plan for this matter." As she spoke, a hint of cold light flashed in her eyes.

  Since cultivating immortality, Qin Lingyun has come to know a vast world and is no longer the simple farm girl she once was. In fact, she had long since made up her mind to leave home, for her future path would be vastly different from that of her family. If it werent for the strong bonds of kinship being hard to sever, she would have already left.

  Li Lao Hu was arrogant and domineering, but in Qin Lingyuns eyes, he was just an ordinary person. Dealing with him was like dealing with an ant.

  "I didnt want to expose myself originally, but now I have no choice. Li Lao Hu, its all your fault." Qin Lingyun thought to herself.

  The Qin family was in a heavy atmosphere, while Li was delighted and thought of the little girl from the Qin family, he couldnt help but feel itchy.

  "Ive never seen such a lively little girl, now I, Li Shuangjiang, can have a taste of freshness. If the Qin Dahu family dares to resist..." A cold smile floated up at the corner of Li Shuangjiangs mouth, his fingers clenched with force, making cracking sounds.

  "Master, right ahead is Qin Dahus family." A servant lifted the curtain and said respectfully.

  Li Shuangjiang stepped out of the sedan chair, raised his hand to signal, and everyone stopped in their tracks, gazing at the humble mud-walled courtyard before him, as he strode forward with large steps.

  "Qin Dahu, hand over your daughter and I wont treat you unfairly." Li Shuangjiang kicked the wooden gate of the courtyard with one foot, "Bang..." The wooden gate was actually kicked to pieces and fell to the ground.

  Li Shuangjiang has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and his skills are excellent. Generally, seven or eight strong men are no match for him, and this wooden door is like a paper-thin obstacle in front of him.

  Qin Dahu and his family walked out of the main hall, but before Qin Dahu could speak, Qin Lingyun stepped forward alone, her eyes fixed on Li Shuangjiang. With a gentle smile and a hint of shyness in her voice, she curtsied slightly and said: "Mr. Li, please come in and lets have a word, I have something to discuss with you privately."

  "San Ya, what are you doing?" Qin Da Niu shouted loudly, the others were also confused and didnt understand what Qin Ling Yun wanted to do.

  "San Ya, you mustnt do anything foolish." Huang Shi hugged Qin Lingyuns arm tightly, tears falling down her face.

  "Are you out of your mind?" Qin Lingyun was taken aback, then smiled lightly: "Mother, dont worry, dont you know your daughter?"

  Qin Lingyun was always clever and quick-witted, and as soon as she thought about it, she understood what Huang meant. A young woman like her, alone with a big man like Li Laohu, might be thinking of seeking death.

  Qin Ling comforted her with a gentle word and immediately glanced at Li Shuangjiang.

  Li Shuangjiang hesitated slightly, Qin Lingyuns performance didnt seem like she was about to be snatched away. However, he thought again, even if Qin Lingyun was unfavorable to him, with his excellent martial arts skills, he wasnt afraid of this little girl.

  Qin Lingyuns eyes signaled Qin Dahu and others not to make any rash moves, then turned around and walked into the house. Li Shuangjiang coldly hummed a tune as he followed behind, thinking to himself: "Lets see what youre planning, best if you just obediently comply."

  Qin Lingyun first walked into the house from the main room, and Li Shuangjiang also stepped in with a sideways glance. At this time, only the two of them were left inside the house.

  Outside the house, Qin Dahu and others looked at the inside of the house, thinking that as long as there was any movement, they would immediately rush into the house, and if all else failed, they would fight with Li Shuangjiang and others today.

  "What cant you say outside, little girl?" Li Shuangjiang clasped his hands together in front of his chest, looking at Qin Lingyun with great interest.

  Qin Lingyun turned around, the smile on her face completely gone, her eyes filled with coldness. She said coldly: "Li Shuangjiang, today you are asking for death yourself, dont blame me."

  Qin Lingyuns words had just fallen, her hands formed a seal, and in an instant, a cold and piercing ice cone suddenly appeared in front of Li Shuangjiang, swiftly rushing over, the sharp end of the ice cone pressed against Li Shuangjiangs throat.

  A chill ran up Li Shuangjiangs legs, and Qin Lingyun suddenly produced an ice pick, a move that left Li Shuangjiang stunned for a moment. By the time he realized he was being subdued, Qin Lingyuns voice came: "Li Shuangjiang, dare to shout once, your life will be hard to save."

  Li Shuangjiangs face turned extremely ugly, he felt that the ice cone would cut his throat if it moved forward a little more. He suddenly remembered the rumors he had heard before, "Cultivator! This must be a cultivator!" He shouted in his heart.

  After Qin Lingyun subdued Li Shuangjiang, she raised her palm, and a stream of spiritual energy shot out from the center of her palm, transforming into an invisible hand that grasped a nearby chair and moved it behind her. With the momentum, she sat down smoothly. This move by Qin Lingyun was a simple application of her spiritual power, which she naturally mastered after reaching the third layer of the Refining Qi stage. Now, using this move made Li Shuangjiangs face turn pale, with expressions of regret and fear appearing on his face.

  Cultivators are high and mighty gods in the eyes of ordinary people, taking an ordinary persons life is just a matter of lifting their hands or feet. Li Shuangjiang had never thought that Qin Lingyun, whom he had set his sights on, was actually a cultivator. If he had known beforehand, no matter what, he would not have come to provoke her.

  Qin Lingyun sat on the chair, calmly saying: "Next, we can talk about it. Ill speak and you listen. If you agree, nod your head; if not, shake your head. Dont think about playing tricks."

  Qin Lingyuns eyes flashed with a cold light, and she lightly waved her hand. A small icicle pierced Li Shuangjiangs right palm, "Ding..." A small dagger fell from his palm, and Li Shuangjiang was in so much pain that his face twisted, almost shouting out loud. Fresh blood flowed slowly down the center of his palm.

  Li Shuangjiang wanted to launch a surprise attack on Qin Lingyun, but was discovered by her.

  Qin Lingyun said: "Now you should know my identity, wanting to play tricks in front of me, you are just a mortal, can you do it? Now I give you two ways out. The first is to let me kill you, and then I wont mind finding an opportunity to destroy your whole family. The second is to surrender to me. If you agree to surrender, nod."

  As soon as Qin Lingyuns words fell, Li Shuangjiang immediately nodded, afraid of being slow. Now he was thoroughly afraid of Qin Lingyun. In his opinion, Qin Lingyun was not only a cultivator but also had meticulous thoughts and ruthless means. She didnt look like a 15 or 16-year-old girl at all. The odds of winning against her were extremely low, and now life and death hung in the balance with just one thought from her, so he had no choice but to agree.
