Kapitel 23: New Home
Redakteur: Atlas Studios
Steward Ouyang was submerged in the sea of fire and did not move. It was unknown if he was dead or alive.
Chen An, who was ten meters away from the carriage, was also sent flying by the powerful shockwave produced by the explosion.
He rolled on the ground for more than ten rounds before barely stopping.
His entire body was in unbearable pain, and his ears was ringing.
"Husband!"
Seeing this, Gu Xinyue rushed out without caring about her own safety.
She came to Chen An's side with a worried expression and squatted down, carefully helping him up.
With Gu Xinyue's help, Chen An forced himself to sit up from the ground. His breathing was slightly chaotic.
He was fine, but his head was a little dizzy and his body was in a lot of pain.
He took a few breaths. Chen An stood up from the ground and smiled at Gu Xinyue.
"Yue'er, don't worry. I'm fine."
Just as he finished speaking, an anxious and concerned voice sounded from ahead.
"Husband!"
It was Song Huaying's voice.
At this moment, she was jogging slowly towards Chen An with a big belly. Her exquisite little face was filled with worry.
"I'm fine. The two of you, go back to your original place and stay there. Don't come close."
After saying this, Chen An immediately circulated his spiritual power to turn his fingers golden and shiny.
At the same time, he opened his senses and carefully walked towards the carriage that was still covered in thick smoke.
He wanted to see what was going on with Steward Ouyang, whether he was dead or alive.
If he didn't die, the corpse would be whipped.
The wife and concubine were very obedient. Seeing that their husband seemed to be fine, they put down their worries and returned to their original places to hide so that their husband would not be distracted.
In next to no time, Chen An stopped when he was still 10 meters away from the carriage, and he didn't go any closer.
He raised his finger and fired at the smoke-filled carriage.
The dazzling golden light shot into the thick smoke one after another, emitting dull puffs.
"Pfft!"
Puff! Puff! Puff!
Puff! Puff!
"…"
After shooting for nearly the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Chen An only stopped attacking when the spiritual qi in his body was exhausted and he could no longer release the golden light.
At this moment, the thick smoke on the carriage had dissipated a lot, revealing a pile of carriage wreckage and a yellow mud field riddled with holes.
On the wreckage of one of the carriages, Chen An saw Steward Ouyang whose entire body was charred black.
At this moment, Steward Ouyang's body had been blown up until he lost an arm and a leg. Half of his head was gone, and his entire body was covered in holes left behind by the golden light.
He lay motionless on the ground lifelessly.
But even then, Chen An didn't dare rashly go forward to check the situation.
He was very cautious and chose to take out a low-grade spirit stone to recover his spiritual power.
After recovering for a moment, he circulated his spiritual power again and used his 'Goldfinger'. He shot wildly at Steward Ouyang's corpse and whipped it crazily.
However, he was not venting his anger. He was afraid that the other party was not dead and was just lying on the ground pretending to be dead.
Out of caution, he whipped the corpse for a full fifteen minutes.
When Steward Ouyang's body had already been shot into a hornet's nest, even if an immortal came, he would not be able to live anymore. Only then did he dare to go forward to check.
"As expected of an expert at the seventh level of Qi Refinement. His physical strength is exaggerated. He was blasted by the dust bomb and shot by the golden light so many times, but he could still barely maintain his human appearance and not turn into a pile of meat paste."
Chen An sighed. Then, he quickly squatted down and began to loot the corpses.
After looting the corpses of the Black Iron Manor Cultivators around the carriage, he went into the forest to find Steward Zhang's corpse and continued looting.
After searching for a while, his gains were as follows:
2 medium-grade spirit stones. 58 low-grade spirit stones.
In addition, there were a number of small items that looked quite valuable.
He had gained a lot, but it was not very profitable.
Because all the belongings in the carriage had been blown up, a large sum of money had been lost here in advance.
After putting away all the spoils of war, Chen An waved his hand and called his wife and concubine over.
He asked Gu Xinyue to clean up the scene with him. He piled all the corpses together and burned them.
After that, he went into the forest and dug a deep pit, burying all the corpses. To be safe, he even dug up a sapling and planted it on it as a cover.
In a few years, when this sapling grew up, the corpses buried underground would never be discovered.
By the time Chen An was done dealing with this, nearly two hours had passed since the initial attack and the clean up process.
Fortunately, this road was remote and no one usually passed by. That was why no one had discovered it after such a long time.
"By the way, how did these people from the Black Iron Manor know that I would set off to the core area today and pass by this road?"
After calming down, Chen An suddenly thought of the problem he could not figure it out.
After some thought, he guessed that the Bamboo Leaf Gang had many spies from the Black Iron Manor.
When he was traveling, he was seen and informed by those eyes and ears. Then, he was intercepted.
"Husband, what happened just now?"
Seeing that the matter seemed to have been successfully resolved, Song Huaying could no longer suppress the curiosity in her heart and could not help but ask her husband.
Gu Xinyue was also very curious. She quietly waited for her husband to explain.
However, Chen An didn't tell them the truth. Instead, he reminded them, "Remember not to tell anyone about what happened today. Just treat it as if it never happened. We've never seen those masked people and don't know that Steward Zhang is dead."
"Got it, Husband."
"Yes, I understand."
His wife and concubine nodded repeatedly to show that they understood. They said that their lips are sealed and that they would never tell anyone.
Then, the three of them walked to the core area.
It was inconvenient for Song Huaying with a big belly. Chen An carried her the entire time.
Gu Xinyue, who was standing at the side, was envious. She also wanted to be carried by her husband.
[You carried your wife, Song Huaying, and walked for more than ten miles. Couple bond +1.]
When he arrived at the core area, a notification popped up in front of Chen An.
He took a look and ignored the notification. He continued to carry Song Huaying forward.
It wasn't until he was about to reach a place with people that he put Song Huaying down from his body to avoid attracting too much attention.
They were only a few hundred meters away from their new home. Even a pregnant woman could easily walk it.
Soon, the three of them arrived at their new home.
When they saw the luxurious mansion in front of them, their wife and concubine were instantly excited.
There were three times as many rooms as before!
The combined area of the two courtyards was more than twice as large as before!
Most importantly, the kitchen, toilet, and bathroom were all very bright and spacious!
It made them feel especially comfortable.
"Husband, is this really our home?"
Thinking of the old house she used to live in, Gu Xinyue felt like she was dreaming. It was a little unreal.
Song Huaying was the same.
Even though she used to be the daughter of an aristocratic family and had lived in a luxurious house since she was young.
Treating it as a mansion in the mortal world was completely different from a big house in the cultivation world.
