Hsiao Chih-ching's eyes flashed with a trace of shame and anger. She gritted her teeth and said, "Then I'll have to start from what I said before, my in-laws …"
"Your in-laws?"
"Yes, the Luo family." Hsiao Chih-ching's eyes were full of hatred.
Yang Cheng suddenly remembered that when they were in Los Angeles, she asked if he was sent by the Luo family to capture her. In that case, Hsiao Chih-ching did not lie.
As Hsiao Chih-ching spoke, Lin Ruoxi also felt a little sour in her heart. She subconsciously took a tissue and tucked the corners of her eyes.
…
Hsiao Chih-ching's engagement was with the head of the Luo family, Luo Qianqiu's son, Luo Hang.
Originally, with Hsiao Chih-ching's status, she was naturally not worthy of Luo Hang. After all, Luo Hang had reached the Soul Formation Late Stage at a young age. It was almost certain that he would become a Tribulation Passing Expert in the future. He would be the core strength of the family and even a strong competitor for the position of the family head.
However, the reason why the Luo family spent so much effort to marry Hsiao Chih-ching was not to really give Luo Hang a wife.
Hsiao Chih-ching was a unique "medicine testing tool". Who wouldn't be envious of her?
The Luo family did this because they wanted the Xiao family to share Hsiao Chih-ching with them so that they could refine and test pills to their heart's content.
They said that they wanted to give Hsiao Chih-ching the status of a daughter-in-law and gave her many treasures as betrothal gifts. In fact, it was just for the sake of being fair and square.
After all, there were not only a few hidden families in Kekexili. The entire cultivation world was watching, so they couldn't be too embarrassing.
Moreover, Hsiao Chih-ching was quite beautiful. Luo Hang also liked her. If he married Hsiao Chih-ching, even if he knew that she could not have children, he could still use her as a plaything. At worst, he could just marry a female cultivator in the future.
The Xiao family also happened to have someone who was willing to do this, so the matter was considered to be a hit.
Hsiao Chih-ching was originally disheartened. Her fate was even worse than that of an odd-job servant girl. She had long lost the will to live.
However, on the eve of the wedding, Hsiao Chih-ching, the only person in the Xiao Family who had secretly helped her since she was a child, finally made up his mind to help her once.
That person was Hsiao Chih-ching's wet nurse when she was young.
Because it was said that Hsiao Chih-ching's mother died young, the wet nurse was the only person close to her who brought her up.
However, the nanny was only at the early stage of Deity Transformation. She was a collateral relative of the family and didn't have much status. Thus, she could only watch as Hsiao Chih-ching went through all kinds of things.
Seeing that Hsiao Chih-ching already wanted to seek death, the wet nurse hardened her heart and found an opportunity to send Hsiao Chih-ching out of the formation. After bringing her to the nearby Chuan Province, she gave Hsiao Chih-ching some money and went back to help her distract some cultivators who were chasing after her, so that she would have time to escape.
Although the hidden family was inside the formation, they weren't completely out of touch with reality. With the help of some identification documents prepared by the wet nurse, Hsiao Chih-ching relied on her own experience and some of the things that she had learned since she was a child to successfully escape.
As for going to America, it was also for the sake of safety.
Because of her Nine Yin Meridians, Hsiao Chih-ching was unable to cultivate. Thus, she could only learn some knowledge from ordinary people. Among them, she also learned a lot of common knowledge such as foreign languages and computers by herself. Her hacking skills were also discovered by herself.
It was as if the heavens were playing a joke on her. Other than cultivation, Hsiao Chih-ching learned everything very quickly.
Moreover, because of her outstanding talent, she became a female swindler in Los Angeles, America. She conquered several burly Americans, who were willing to work for her.
"… What happened next, you should already know." With a guilty expression, Hsiao Chih-ching said, "I know I've brought a lot of trouble to you … But now, the only people I can seek help from are you …"
Hsiao Chih-ching looked at Yang Cheng anxiously. "Except for you, no one can save me."
Yang Cheng touched his forehead and exhaled a mouthful of turbid air. He pondered and said, "You're putting me in a difficult position. After all, I'm not related to you. If I get involved in the disputes of the hidden family, what if they all become enemies with me?"
Hsiao Chih-ching's expression darkened. She said gloomily, "I know it's very selfish of me to think like this … But I'm not reconciled to it. I'm still worried about my wet nurse. I don't know how she's doing. Will she be killed by them?"
After saying that, the woman's eyes became moist again.
Lin Ruoxi struggled for a while. She turned her head and said, "Honey, please help her. Those people are really hateful. At most, you can try your best to protect her. Maybe those people are no match for you.
After all, if the hidden family really hides from the world, they will also send powerful people to stir up chaos in the world. Maybe when they realize that they can't bring her back easily, they will give up. "
Yang Cheng smiled bitterly. He reached out and touched Lin Ruoxi's face, which made Lin Ruoxi dodge and pout.
Yang Cheng sighed. "How can it be so easy? Didn't you hear what she said just now? There are many people in the Crossing Calamity Stage in the same family. They even have magic treasures and elixirs. I'm alone, and I have to protect so many women. I can't … "
Before he finished speaking, a light flashed in Yang Cheng's mind!
That's right, elixirs!!!
Yang Cheng hurriedly turned his head and asked, "Hsiao Chih-ching, you said … there are a lot of elixirs in the hidden family that can help with cultivation, right? There are also a lot of powerful cultivation techniques and cultivation materials? "
Hsiao Chih-ching nodded. "Yes, the reason why the ancient martial arts sects in the secular world can't have a large number of people break through to the Soul Formation stage is because they don't have the assistance of those elixirs, spirit herbs, and cultivation techniques. Those are the foundation of the hidden family. They are treasures that will not be easily leaked. "
Yang Cheng's eyes were burning with greed.
"Hehe, I don't have much interest in protecting you or helping you take revenge. But in order to let my darling's cultivation speed up, it's not a bad idea to ask for some treasures to help with cultivation." Yang Cheng smiled evilly.
Hsiao Chih-ching almost fainted. She involuntarily tried to dissuade him. "Don't do such a stupid thing! Do you want to go to the hidden family alone to steal elixirs!? Are you crazy!?
There are at least thousands of cultivators in Hongmeng, and none of them dare to go to the hidden family to fight for anything. Do you think the elders of the hidden family are so easy to deal with?! "
Lin Ruoxi also covered her chest. She felt that this man was too daring. She worriedly said, "Yes, you are not allowed to go! Do you think this is a joke!? If you make a move, won't it affect the whole body!? "
Yang Cheng foolishly smiled and waved his hand. "I was just joking. I don't want to live long enough."
Of course, what he thought in his heart was another matter.
Indeed, if he went now, he probably wouldn't be able to take advantage of it. But what about in the future?
His "Endless Resolve Restoration Scripture" was constantly improving. If one day, for example, he could pass the second Nine Heavenly Thunder Tribulation, he might be able to give it a try.
At least, this was a shortcut for the cultivation of women to advance by leaps and bounds.
It was a pity that he didn't have a reference. He didn't know the strength of the people in the Crossing Calamity Stage. If they could come out and fight with him, he would have some idea.
Thinking of this, Yang Cheng thought of the few magic treasures he had just seized.
Summoning the void, Yang Cheng took out the Blood Dragon Golden Blade, the Demon Suppressing Golden Hammer, the platinum bracelet, and the copper-yellow token, and put them on the ground.
Seeing these four things, Hsiao Chih-ching was obviously full of surprise. "You … why do you have these things!?"
Yang Cheng didn't hide it. He told her about how the sloppy Taoist kidnapped Lin Ruoxi and how he killed him.
Only then did Hsiao Chih-ching know that the two of them were covered in dirt. They had just returned from killing a master in the late Soul Formation Stage.
"You're really powerful. You should know that magic treasures are divided into three levels: low, middle, and high. Above them are the few immortal treasures, which were passed down from ancient times." Hsiao Chih-ching pointed at the magic treasures and said, "The platinum bracelet is called the Heaven Dipper Bracelet. It is a middle and low level defensive magic treasure. It can block at least three attacks for those under the Crossing Calamity Stage. Although the Demon Suppressing Golden Hammer is only a low level magic treasure, because it is heavy and vigorous, its power is extraordinary. The Blood Dragon Golden Blade is the most amazing. Even Crossing Calamity Stage cultivators are afraid of being cut by it, and it is very difficult to recover. It is a middle level magic treasure. "
Yang Cheng asked curiously, "You know everything?"
Hsiao Chih-ching said with a smile, "Because I can't cultivate, I spend almost the time when others cultivate. I study the secular culture and read all kinds of cultivation books, so I have a little understanding of these miscellaneous things."
Yang Cheng suddenly understood. He thought that this woman was quite valuable. At least she could explain a lot of things to him. It was not impossible to protect her.
After finding a reason to protect Hsiao Chih-ching, Yang Cheng said, "You still haven't told me what magic treasure that bronze token is. Why does it have the word 'Huang' on it?"
This time, Hsiao Chih-ching slightly frowned. She looked at Yang Cheng with a somewhat complicated expression and said with a bitter smile, "This … is not a magic treasure …"
