Chapter 245

Hu Meiniang smiled, not taking Wang Ping'an's words seriously—not because she knew he couldn't do it, but quite the opposite, given the ability Wang Ping'an had shown.

His words are very likely to become reality!

If the Underworld Organization's assassin, after reincarnation, truly dared to come seek Wang Ping'an for revenge, Wang Ping'an might not need to be as over-the-top inhumane as before—just a finger could crush him.

The Underworld Organization's assassin went to the Underworld, wanting to be reborn, but first must undergo the Eighteen Levels of Hell; he might not need to go through all of them, but at least several decades, even up to a hundred years, are needed to finish the punishment.

If he wants to be reborn again, he'll need even more time!

Moreover, let alone awakening the mystery of the womb...

He might never be able to awaken it in his lifetime!

There's no need to mention seeking revenge on Wang Ping'an!

Moreover.

Based on the Underworld Organization assassin's performance just now in front of Wang Ping'an—kneeling and thanking—if he happens to awaken the womb mystery in his next life, he might not come seeking revenge on Wang Ping'an; he might instead repay the kindness.

She naturally had no need to take Wang Ping'an's words seriously!

Hu Meiniang suddenly had a flash of insight, pondering: 'That child of the Wang family—could it be you who sent him to be reborn?'

Only then did she realize that Wang Ping'an's so-called penchant for massacring people was utter nonsense; it was Hu Jiushisan's lack of brains, not knowing Wang Ping'an's prowess, that led him to misunderstand Wang Ping'an's quirk.

This isn't a quirk—it's cultivation!

Whether it's exposing his wealth to lure Evil Cultivators or monsters to ambush him, or having people post missions in the Underworld Organization to assassinate him.

It's not to satisfy his supposed penchant for slaughter!

It's for cultivating Soul Salvation!

She firmly believed that Wang Ping'an might now merely have fortuitously mirrored the Gate of Ghosts, but later, once he attains a higher level in Soul Salvation, he will surely mirror the Gate of Ghosts at all times during the rite.

How do you feel?

Wang Ping'an countered with a question, his heart full of strangeness.

He never expected to be misunderstood by Hu Meiniang like this, and he didn't bother to explain further; in fact, he hoped she would keep misunderstanding him.

I think...

Hu Meiniang opened her mouth, wanting to say she thought it was quite possible, but she believed more strongly that Wang Ping'an had been drawn by that child, so she corrected herself:

In a few days I'll go to the Wang family again; I hope, Daoist Li, you won't disappoint me!

She said she believed 'Li Fugui' was attracted by that Wang family child, but it was really a plea; this would bring her endless benefits.

Rest assured, I won't let you down—but you also must not let me down!

Having said that, Wang Ping'an had no mind to linger; he had just gained a large amount of goods from the Nine-headed Mountain Market, and also earned over ten thousand merits.

Who knows how many skills await his upgrade; he certainly has no mind to stay longer here.

Seeing Hu Meiniang not preparing to stop him, Wang Ping'an focused, took out one of his spoils—a mid-grade magical artifact, the Azure Rainbow Sword; with a thought, the sword flew up, and he leapt onto it.

Sword-flying!

Hu Meiniang watched Wang Ping'an's retreating back, her pupils contracting; she knew his prowess, but didn't expect he was also a Sword Cultivator.

Although.

When Wang Ping'an mentioned he would set up the Small Five Elements Sword Formation, I had guessed he might be a Sword Cultivator, but seeing it in person still astonished me.

I truly don't know how many more astonishing abilities you have!

Hu Meiniang sighed, turned her head, glanced at an inconspicuous spot, a cold smile curling her lips. Afterwards.

She turned and left.

Has he been discovered?

Hu Jianbai furrowed his brow slightly; the inconspicuous spot Hu Meiniang had looked at was exactly his hiding place. After finishing speaking with his daughter, he rushed over immediately.

Or it was his daughter who told him that the Underworld Organization would send an assassin to kill 'Li Fugui'.

He came just to watch the excitement!

Whether it was the life-and-death battle between Wang Ping'an and the Underworld Organization assassin, or his conversation with Hu Meiniang, or even Wang Ping'an performing Soul Salvation on the assassin, mirroring the Gate of Ghosts, the assassin bowing in thanks—

He saw all these things clearly.

My sister really is a sharp-tongued but soft-hearted person!

Hu Jianbai let out a faint sigh.

Not long ago.

He still didn't quite understand; Hu Meiniang's muttering to herself seemed like nonsense, just repeating old words, but after that glance when she left, he figured it out.

In this novel, you have arrived at

Hu Meiniang's muttering, saying she was talking to Wang Ping'an, uttering nonsense, was actually just meant for him to hear.

To let him know about the matter of that Wang family child!

Hu Jianbai rose, heading toward the ancestors' cavern to ask the forefather to go forth and investigate the specifics of that Wang family child in Hutou Gou; but before he had taken a few steps, he halted, his expression complex, saying: 'Forget it!'

He didn't know whether the Wang family child in Hutou Gou that could attract 'Li Fugui' had any miraculous quality, but his sister's great concern showed the child must be extraordinary; under his questioning, she wouldn't utter a single word, indicating the child could bring his sister benefits.

If he told the ancestor about this, after the ancestor investigated, perhaps that child might also benefit their Nine-headed Mountain Fox Clan.

However.

That would be letting his sister down!

But if he didn't do so, it might affect the development of their Nine-headed Mountain Fox Clan.

For a moment, Hu Jianbai hesitated, unsure what to do.

Perhaps better not to speak; when the chance comes, I'll go to the Hutou Gou Wang family, examine that child's situation thoroughly—if it's not an urgent emergency...

Having said that, Hu Jianbai paused, a hint of suggestion flashing across his face before vanishing, and he sighed: 'Let's just pretend we don't know about this.'

He is the chieftain of the Nine-headed Mountain Fox Clan; the clan's growth is his foremost concern, yet Hu Meiniang is his sister, his own sister.

He cannot bear to harm his own sister's interests to bolster the Nine-headed Mountain Fox Clan's interests!

Back then.

He hasn't forgotten the words the ancestors spoke to him when they chose him as the clan chief of this generation of the Nine-headed Mountain Fox Clan; among the direct descendants of the Nine-headed Mountain Fox Clan, although he stood out, he did not tower over his generation.

There are many descendants who are not inferior to him.

He was chosen by the ancestors precisely because he especially cares about his family.

"Ancestors, ancestors, if you knew, back then you chose me for the Nine-headed Mountain Fox Clan because I cared about my family; now, for the sake of my family, I might affect the clan's development and prosperity—I don't know if you would regret having chosen me as clan chief back then!"

Hu Jianbo laughed self-mockingly; after making up his mind, he seemed to let out a sigh of relief.

He got up and left.

The Nine-headed Mountain Fox Clan still has many things awaiting him to do.
