He thought about this.
Chen Nan almost slapped himself.
Sneaking a peek at someone bathing?
Damn it!
Can't you be more decent?
Since he could already transform, he could have turned into their close-fitting clothing!
Even… the wooden tub they were bathing in!
Thinking of this.
Chen Nan shivered.
He wished he could become a cultivator in the Transformation Realm right now.
Snapping back to reality.
He was on the verge of tears: "How could I have such filthy thoughts?"
"Is it the host's personality influencing me?"
"I am a gentleman!"
Without further thought, he grabbed the stool on the ground and roared indignantly, "Avenge our City Lord!"
???
???
???
Everyone was stunned.
Especially the people from the six great families.
Yuan Zun's head had already been severed.
What was the point of flattering now?
The enemy was a powerful cultivator in the Transformation Realm, and someone like him would only be cannon fodder.
Now was the time to flee the scene as quickly as possible to avoid being caught in the crossfire!
Wait.
Something was wrong.
This guy, who was as timid as a mouse, was acting like a completely different person?
Could it be that he was scared silly?
"Bastard!"
Leng Qingmei's face turned ashen, and she trembled.
She naturally didn't want to offend a cultivator of the Transformation Realm for a dead City Lord.
But now that Chen Nan had charged forward.
If she abandoned Chen Nan at this moment, wouldn't she appear to be a coward who only cared about her own life?
They had agreed when they got married to share fortunes and face hardships together.
This didn't align with her persona!
Thinking of this.
She lightly tapped the ground with her right foot and, like a gust of wind, instantly appeared beside Chen Nan.
At the same time.
A purplish-red long sword appeared in her hand.
The sword body emanated a powerful chilling aura.
It sent shivers down one's spine.
She had no retreat and could only stand shoulder to shoulder with Chen Nan.
"This woman is actually a cultivator?"
Chen Nan was secretly alarmed.
He could feel a powerful surge of energy from Leng Qingmei.
However.
He had no idea that Leng Qingmei was a cultivator.
His wife was indeed quite secretive.
But.
One day, he would definitely figure out her depth!
Many soldiers from the City Lord's mansion were deployed, surrounding the perpetrator and attacking with long spears.
They themselves possessed the strength of the Yin Gathering Realm.
Not to mention that their weapons were specially made.
Even a powerful cultivator in the Transformation Realm could not deal with them.
Instead, they were firmly suppressing the opponent.
However, the black-clothed assassin who assassinated Yuan Zun did not linger. His figure instantly turned into a black mist, then transformed into a bird and flew north.
Cultivators in the Transformation Realm could transform into birds and fly, something the soldiers of the City Lord's mansion could not do.
They could only watch helplessly as the opponent escaped.
"Come home with me!"
Leng Qingmei's eyes were cold.
She didn't mind revealing her cultivation.
However.
Revealing her cultivation had not enabled her to kill the opponent.
This made her very angry.
After all, out of so many people in Tongcheng, only the Leng family had made a move.
This would surely provoke the cultivator in the Transformation Realm.
If such a person retaliated against the Leng family.
It was not something they could resist.
He could kill the new City Lord in an instant, so destroying the entire Leng family would be no difficult task!
On the way back.
Leng Qingmei's face was grim, like ancient cold ice, radiating a chilling aura.
Although she had always maintained a stern expression.
The aura she exuded at this moment made Chen Nan feel somewhat uncomfortable.
He felt it was necessary to explain his "impulsive" behavior earlier.
He cleared his throat: "Wife..."
"Shut up!" Leng Qingmei said expressionlessly: "Don't call me wife anymore."
"Also, you are the son-in-law of my Leng family."
"Your every word and deed outside represent the Leng family."
"From now on, before you do anything, think with your brain and don't tarnish the reputation of my Leng family."
"I don't want you, a waste, to bring about the ruin of my Leng family!"
Damn it!
Is she that arrogant?
The reason I rushed out, shouting about avenging the City Lord, was all for your Leng family!
Indeed.
The prettier the woman, the less brains she has!
Even you are no exception!
Chen Nan felt a surge of displeasure.
But.
As the weaker party at the moment, what could he say?
He decisively shut his mouth.
He considered it a way to find some peace!
At any rate, Leng Qingmei wouldn't listen to anything he said now, nor would she give him a pleasant look.
After the carriage had traveled for more than half an hour.
It arrived at the back door of the Leng family.
"You can get off now!" Leng Qingmei closed her eyes, her emotions having calmed down considerably.
At least her cold voice didn't convey anger.
Chen Nan got off the carriage.
He strode into the backyard.
He thought Leng Qingmei was a smart woman.
But he didn't expect her to be so short-sighted and lacking in vision.
Although City Lord Yuan Zun had been killed.
Hadn't she considered why so many soldiers from the City Lord's mansion appeared immediately after Yuan Zun was killed?
Why did those people seem so calm?
It was obvious.
They had long anticipated that someone would attempt an assassination today.
And the person who was killed must have been a double of the City Lord.
At this moment, whoever stepped forward would surely gain the City Lord's favor, wouldn't they?
Alas!
Such a simple matter!
But it was overlooked!
However.
Paper can't wrap fire forever!
It wouldn't be long before the world learned that the real City Lord was still alive.
He just didn't know if Leng Qingmei would still be so assertive then.
Would she still call him brainless?
You just wait.
One day, when I reach the Transformation Realm, I will definitely transform into your bellyband!
Slap!
Chen Nan raised his hand and slapped himself hard.
Why is the host so shameless?
Why does he have so many vulgar thoughts?
"Young Master, why did you return so quickly?"
"Did the City Lord's mansion not prepare a banquet?"
Song Ziwei, who was having lunch in the courtyard, quickly put down her bowl and chopsticks.
Normally, when attending the City Lord's inauguration ceremony, the City Lord's mansion would prepare a banquet.
It was also an opportunity for the City Lord to mingle with the common people in private.
But she hadn't expected her young master to return so quickly.
"Don't mention it, finish eating and then make me something to eat." Chen Nan was also a little hungry.
Song Ziwei said: "I just rolled some noodles, how about I make you some?"
"Okay, you eat first." Chen Nan said without looking back and went into the room, picking up a book about medicinal herbs and began to read it intently.
It was true.
The medicinal herbs in the underworld also existed in the mortal world, just with different names.
But the efficacy and properties of the herbs were the same.
He thought hard.
He found a prescription for a medicinal bath.
By soaking in the medicinal bath, he could undergo a complete transformation and lay a solid foundation.
Then he would definitely be able to cultivate the Yin Gathering Technique and become a cultivator in the underworld.
On the other side.
Leng Qingmei, with a blank expression, received an invitation from the City Lord's mansion.
A golden invitation.
As she unfolded it, she suddenly stood up, her pupils filled with shock: "The City Lord is inviting us to be guests?"
"Wait!"
"Didn't the City Lord die?"
"What exactly is going on?"
