Even with the Celestial Master Sword, you still had to get up close to slash them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan always found those things creepy and was reluctant to get near them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could that compare to blasting one from a safe distance?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he could stylishly blow the smoke from the barrel and say, \"My lord, the times have changed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’How cool is that?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for whether this Flintlock Gun was effective against a Xingzi...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Extremely!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Years ago, a powerful Xingzi had appeared here in Taiping City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a great drought that year, and droughts were the perfect breeding ground for such undead creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, after the lake at Wang Family Stockade dried up, a row of coffins was exposed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The villagers considered it bad luck and left them alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those corpses, which had been bloated from soaking in water, reanimated at night after baking in the sun for several days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I heard they even started growing white fur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That thing caused such chaos in Taiping City that even several Celestial Masters brought in from the Provincial City couldn’t take it down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, they had to call upon the soldiers garrisoned at the foot of Taiping Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These soldiers brought in three Red Coat Cannons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After one night of bombardment, the Xingzi was nowhere to be found.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, part of the reason they were so effective was that the soldiers themselves were formidable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soldiers were imbued with the Evil Qi and ferocity of the Empire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Xingzi would dare challenge the soldiers?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another reason was that the Red Coat Cannons had seen battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were true weapons of slaughter, wreathed in their own Evil Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But all that aside, the bright flash and loud bang of the firearms were the fundamental reason for their success.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan had read \"Celestial Master\" and knew that these Xingzi were most afraid of bright lights and loud noises.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such things were devastating to creatures like them, which were missing some of their essential souls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could easily shatter the single soul they had left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And especially...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...Lu Yuan had even dipped the iron bullets for his Flintlock Gun into the inkwell of his Lu Ban’s Ink Pot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now how’s that for deadly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, the world was not a peaceful place; there were plenty of bandits and highwaymen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This thing wasn’t just for defending against ghosts—it could defend against people, too. It was pretty damn useful~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for why Lu Yuan didn’t just build an automatic pistol or something—after all, those were also simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, the internal mechanism of a real gun was even simpler than some modern toy guns from Earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, while the gun was easy, the cartridges were hard to make.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had to be made to exact specifications; otherwise, the barrel would just explode. You’d blow yourself up before you hit anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not that it was impossible for Lu Yuan to craft them by hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that with his current skill level, having just learned \"Craftsmanship,\" crafting a single, perfectly standard-compliant bullet would probably take him ten days to half a month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, he decided to make do with a Flintlock Gun for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lu Yuan fired the shot, shattering the tiles on the roof of the side building, Lin Fusheng, inside the East Wing, was scared into a frenzy, yelling at the top of his lungs:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s going on!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s going on!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Su Liyan, who was next to Lu Yuan, still had her hands clamped over her ears, her beautiful face a mask of astonishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Liyan had seen firearms before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back during the chaotic times of war, soldiers were a relatively common sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But one so short and exquisite...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, those firearms always needed someone to help light the fuse...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Su Liyan was still stunned, Lu Yuan frowned at Lin Fusheng, who had just rushed out of the room, and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’ve got some nerve!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do we have to shout for you just to get you to eat?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From now on, come out to eat when it’s time. If you’re late, there won’t be any food left in the pot!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Fusheng didn’t dare talk back to Lu Yuan’s scolding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Who could argue? He’s the Madam’s sweetheart.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Fusheng could only say pitifully:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I have to keep watch at night...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would have been better if Lin Fusheng hadn’t mentioned keeping watch. The moment he did, Lu Yuan went up and gave him a kick, saying:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Vigil, my ass. You snore loud enough to shake the heavens.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enough nonsense. Hurry up and eat. We’re going into the city after we’re done!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Lu Yuan led his wife inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Fusheng, however, had no complaints and scurried off to the kitchen to get his own food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Fusheng truly had no complaints.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fact was, the food Lu Yuan provided was just too good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was fish and meat at every meal. Even when he was back at the estate, he’d never eaten so extravagantly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, from his initial feelings of resentment toward Lu Yuan, Lin Fusheng had now come to accept his situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If I have to be Lu Yuan’s dog, then I’ll be his dog.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’What’s so bad about being a dog?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Besides, being Lu Yuan’s dog means being the Madam’s dog.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’The Madam dotes on Lu Yuan so much!!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’The carriages from the city have been arriving every single day without fail!!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’She treats him as dearly as her own son!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After we eat, change into some nice clothes. We’re going into the city today to buy some things for the banquet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And while we’re at it, I’ll take you to meet our Aunt Zhao.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan said to Su Liyan as they ate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan truly never expected that after what happened last time...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...Aunt Zhao wouldn’t think any less of him at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Lu Yuan hadn’t seen Zhao Qiao’Er these past few days, and thus hadn’t seen the Multiplication Factor above her head...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...judging by the things she had people deliver here every day...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...food, drink, clothing, and even jewelry for his wife...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...even without seeing it, he knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had been seven or eight days since the last incident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person who delivered things yesterday said that the Celestial Master from the Provincial City had arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since that Celestial Master was here...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...there was naturally nothing for him to be afraid of anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’They probably took care of that Liu Family Xingzi last night, right?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why Lu Yuan was planning to go into the city today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t buy everything he needed for his banquet in the local town; he had to go to the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was also the perfect opportunity to visit Aunt Zhao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having received so many favors for no reason, Lu Yuan couldn’t really repay her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at the very least, he had a mouth, so he had to go and say thank you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also had to bring his wife along for her to see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, they had said it back then: neither of them had any close relatives left in this world, so he would treat her as family, and she would treat him as family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Liyan, at his side, nodded obediently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’On matters like this, her husband naturally had the final say.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the meal, Lin Fusheng prepared the horse-drawn carriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Lu Yuan and Su Liyan were seated securely in the carriage, Lin Fusheng cracked the whip, and they set off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around noon, the three of them arrived in Taiping City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest was simple. Lu Yuan wrote out a list of everything they needed to buy and had Lin Fusheng go get it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Lu Yuan led Su Liyan straight to Zhao Qiao’Er’s large residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it was his first time visiting, he knew the way; he had asked for clear directions yesterday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the way, the two of them also bought a few things—some small pastries and such.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t anything valuable, but the main thing was not to arrive empty-handed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they arrived, they saw a massive estate. There were seven or eight guards standing watch at the gate alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked exceptionally grand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan led Su Liyan forward. He had originally planned to say he was Aunt Zhao’s nephew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it felt a bit strange, and he was a little embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, Lu Yuan looked at the guard walking toward him and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Excuse me, sir, could you please announce me? I’m the Madam’s... relative, here to visit her today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan was about to say something more, but the guard first froze for a moment, then said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You must be the Young Nephew, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Lu Yuan’s reaction, the guard knew he had guessed correctly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guard’s demeanor instantly became incredibly friendly and polite. He bowed repeatedly and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young Nephew, please, come in quickly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Madam isn’t in the city at the moment. Please come in and wait.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Lu Yuan nodded. ’It seems the matter with the Xingzi has been resolved after all.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Aunt Zhao can go out as she pleases now.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan also asked casually:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, the matter with the Liu Family’s Xingzi... it’s all been taken care of, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Lu Yuan spoke, the guard froze. As Lu Yuan looked at him with a puzzled expression...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...the guard shook his head and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something terrible happened last night.
