Chapter 75: I am a cultivator, come if you are not afraid of death!
Constable Cao couldn’t hit Huang Tian with several knives. He already knew that the other party was not an ordinary person, but relying on his status, he still relentlessly pursued him.
“A low-class country bumpkin, what’s the use of being strong? Aren’t you still being chased everywhere by this grandpa! Do you dare to fight back?”
Constable Cao couldn’t hurt Huang Tian, so he cursed him anxiously.
“You said it yourself.”
Huang Tian had received permission at this moment. His spiritual sense suddenly emerged from his body and pressed towards Constable Cao.
Constable Cao was already out of breath from exhaustion. A huge pressure suddenly descended from the sky, and his legs went soft, making him kneel down.
Huang Tian rushed up like a ghost and punched Cao’s old face, accompanied by a whistling fist wind.
Constable Cao felt a gust of wind blowing towards him, so much so that he couldn’t even open his eyes. Then, his official hat was blown off, his neatly tied hair instantly came undone, and it danced wildly in the wind.
“Bang!”
Huang Tian’s fist then smashed into Constable Cao’s face.
Constable Cao’s robust body was sent flying horizontally, like a broken sack casually thrown away in a garbage dump. It heavily smashed onto the ground and rolled several times before stopping, kicking up a cloud of dust.
“Ah? He… he hit an official?”
The villagers stared at each other, their expressions stiff and fearful.
“He actually dared to hit an official, just wait to go to jail!”
Qu Zhen said gloatingly. She didn’t expect the surprise to come so quickly.
“Yeah! Weren’t they planning to buy houses for these people? A jail cell? Haha…”
Xie Mei also laughed happily.
The constables behind reacted and quickly went to help Constable Cao up.
Constable Cao managed to get up from the ground. By this time, his left cheek was swollen like a pig’s head, blue and purple.
Constable Cao shook his head fiercely. After his head cleared up a bit, he reached out to touch it, and then gasped in pain.
“Audacious lowly peasant, how dare you attack an official! Execute him on the spot!”
Constable Cao was furious and immediately gave orders to his subordinates.
“Yes!”
Several constables took their orders, drew their sabers, and swarmed forward.
“I am a cultivator, I don’t care about your damn officials, come on if you’re not afraid of death.”
Huang Tian revealed his identity. He wasn’t afraid of these officials, but he was afraid of their endless harassment.
“Cultivator?”
The constables quickly stopped in their tracks and looked at each other. If the other party was really a cultivator, then wouldn’t they be just sending themselves to their deaths by going forward? And no one would care afterward.
“You… are you really a cultivator?”
Constable Cao asked cautiously.
“Do you need me to prove it?”
Huang Tian snorted coldly.
“No, no, no…”
Constable Cao shook his head repeatedly, but there was still a hint of doubt on his face. After all, there were not only cultivators in the cultivation world, but also warriors. If he were a cultivator, he would have to endure it. But if he were a warrior, it would be different. Even the strongest warrior had to abide by the laws of the dynasty.
But what could doubt do? Even if he had ten thousand times the courage, he wouldn’t dare to ask a cultivator to prove his identity in person. At most, he could investigate secretly after returning.
“Constable Cao! You are the constable! How can you be so perfunctory about such a matter? You must make him prove it.”
Qu Zhen incited him.
“You damn slut! Shut up! Be careful, I’ll make you eat prison food for a few years.”
Constable Cao suddenly cursed. He already wanted to smooth things over, but he didn’t expect this slutty woman to be so clueless.
“I…”
Qu Zhen’s face turned pale with fright, and she didn’t know what she had done wrong for a moment.
Constable Cao took a deep breath, then stood up with difficulty, and walked to Huang Tian with his hand covering his cheek, bowing: “Esteemed Immortal Elder, it was my fault for being blind! I apologize to you!”
“What should we do?”
Huang Tian asked his main body, seeing that the other party’s attitude was still sincere enough.
“Forget it, our main business is important, we don’t have time to argue with them.”
Qi Huang immediately instructed. Killing a constable, although it wouldn’t bring trouble, would still cause some problems.
“This time I will generously spare you, but don’t let it happen again!”
Huang Tian then warned Constable Cao.
“I wouldn’t dare! I wouldn’t dare!”
Constable Cao nodded obsequiously.
“Tell me, how did you know that someone in our village died?”
Huang Tian then asked.
“We don’t know!”
Constable Cao replied blankly.
“Don’t know? Then why are you here?”
Huang Tian frowned and asked.
“Oh! It’s like this!”
Constable Cao tidied his appearance, then continued: “We are here to inform all the villagers that the dynasty’s conscription system has been changed and moved forward by one year. All unmarried male youths who have reached the age of twenty-seven and have not yet served in the army should report to the Sima in the Prefecture Capital before the end of June.”
“What? Changed again? Is it the law or your mother’s lover? It changes as it pleases, Zhang San in the morning, Li Si in the evening.”
“Yes! It’s already hard to find a wife in this world! Now the conscription age is getting younger and younger, you’re not letting men live! No wonder all men are trying their best to enter immortal sects.”
“Poor He Chao, he’s already twenty-seven years old, so he only has half a year left?”
“And our Liu Keqian, in half a year, where will he find a wife? Oh heavens!”
…
The villagers immediately exploded, sighing one after another, especially those with sons.
“You can’t blame me for this! I’m just a messenger, I don’t have the authority to make laws.”
Constable Cao complained aggrievedly, being cursed innocently.
“Haha, the retribution has come too quickly! He Chao, Liu Keqian, didn’t you always say that men should aspire to serve in distant lands and that marrying a wife is nothing great? Now you’re stumped. In half a year, let me see how ambitious you are, and whether your ambitions can surpass the dynasty’s laws.”
Huang Bo was immediately revived.
He Chao and Liu Keqian’s faces darkened. They also didn’t expect that day to come so quickly.
The parents of the two families were extremely anxious. After thinking about it, they could only place their hopes on Qi Huang again. So they stumbled over and kowtowed to Qi Huang desperately.
“Niece-in-law! You must save He Chao! As long as you can find him a wife, we will serve you as oxen and horses for the rest of our lives.”
“And our Liu Keqian! In consideration of his close brotherhood with Huang Qi, can you save him! We only have this one son! Once he goes to the battlefield, the Liu family will be without an heir.”
…
The four parents pleaded tearfully, as their sons were in the most urgent situation among those present.
“Hurry up and get up!”
Qi Huang quickly went to help them up. The scene before her gave her a sense of having passed through a lifetime. Just a few days ago, she had just witnessed the difficulty of Yuan Jie, a maidservant, getting married at the HongHua Sect, and now she was witnessing the difficulty of two good brothers getting married. Although they were all in the Xihui Dynasty, it felt like two worlds with no intersection at all. If only they could be combined!
“Don’t worry! Isn’t there still half a year left? I will definitely find a sister-in-law for each of them.”
Qi Huang then made a promise. In fact, given her relationship with the two brothers, even if their parents didn’t come to beg, she wouldn’t stand idly by. After all, more debt doesn’t mean more hardship.
“Joke, houses can be bought with money, but can you buy people?”
Qu Zhen of course did not believe it and questioned again.
“Buy? Joke! You should know the women of the immortal sects, right? Do I need to buy them if I find them partners? Have you forgotten so quickly that I brought sisters to Huatian Village to slap your face a few months ago?”
Qi Huang retorted calmly.
“Yes! That night, Qi Huang brought back five sisters who looked like celestial beings! Everyone still remembers, right?”
“How could we not remember? Those five girls were more beautiful than each other, I will never forget them.”
“Qi Huang is an Immortal Elder, maybe they are also Immortal Elders. If so, it makes sense that they are so beautiful.”
“Could it be that Qi Huang still wants to introduce Immortal Elders to those two silly boys as partners? Then they would be making a huge profit.”
…
The villagers whispered among themselves. The more they thought about it, the less they could doubt Qi Huang.
The four parents were completely relieved when they heard these words, and then they turned their tears into smiles.
“Alright! Irrelevant people, get lost quickly! We still have important things to do.”
Qi Huang waved her hand impatiently.
The constables felt as if they had been granted amnesty and urged their horses to leave in a panic.
From then on, things went smoothly. Qi Huang took charge of the situation. She asked her clone, Huang Tian, to take the young and strong men of the village to buy coffins and necessary supplies, while she stayed behind to protect the women and children preparing for the funeral feast.
After working until late, Qi Huang returned home to rest, and then immediately transmitted a message to her main body to inquire about the current situation.
At this moment, after a day of high-speed flight, Cheng Hongling had already reached the sphere of influence of the Yuxiao Sect, which was Sanyang County. Looking down from above, she saw cultivators everywhere along the way. A great storm centered around the Nine Nether Demonic Cat was brewing.
