Picked Up A Husband For Farming - Chapter 338
338 Sunset Bow
“I accidentally discovered it when I was young. I’ve studied this piece of land and discovered that there’s a layer of luminous powder on the ground. I don’t know if it’s naturally formed or if someone sprinkled it, but in any case, this piece of land is ours now. I’ve also set up a few array formations outside. If outsiders want to barge in, they’ll be reduced to ashes.” Qiao Yanhui said with a domineering expression.
Xu Qing liked this place very much and envisioned living here when she was old. However, she liked living with Qiao Yanhui even more. As she sat in a sea of flowers that glowed with the night light, she leaned into Qiao Yanhui’s arms and said softly, “Little Hui, when we’re old, let’s come here and live in seclusion. You go fishing and hunting while I wash clothes and cook. We can watch the sunrise and sunset every day and admire the beautiful scenery in the valley.”
“Alright.” Qiao Yanhui’s eyes were filled with determination. For Xu Qing’s sake, he had to live on.
After receiving his assurance, Xu Qing felt even more at ease. In the end, she didn’t even know when she returned. She only knew that when she woke up, she was already in the tent and the sky was already bright. She remembered that today was the official start of the seven-day hunting festival, so she hurriedly got up to wash up.
After Xu Qing tidied up, the three children had also woken up. All of them were dressed neatly and gorgeously. They were wearing small armors and carried bows and arrows on their backs.
!!
At this moment, many people had already arrived at the gathering place one after another. Xu Qing stood in the crowd with a mocking gaze. How many of these people were really here for hunting? Every single one of them had all sorts of schemes in mind.
Soon, Ao Heng appeared.
After more than a year, Xu Qing finally saw Ao Heng again. He staggered while walking and his face was sallow. Although his eyes were bright and he seemed to be in good spirits, he gave off a feeling of exhaustion. Even in this state, Ao Heng actually thought that he had recovered? How could her poison be detoxed so easily?
Although Xu Qing didn’t take Ao Heng’s pulse, she could tell that Ao Heng’s poison had not been detoxed at all. He was only fighting poison with poison and suppressed his poison with other poisons. On the day the poison completely took effect, Ao Heng would be beyond saving. Therefore, even if Qiao Yanhui failed, Ao Heng wouldn’t be able to survive.
However, Xu Qing thought of the person who had used poison to restrain Ao Heng. Lin Shu was even more vicious than Xu Qing had imagined.
Ao Heng was in low spirits today. He didn’t sleep well last night because he had been tortured by the smell of roasted meat. When he woke up today, his condition was even worse. He had no choice but to take two more pills to make his complexion look better.
When Ao Heng thought of this, he glared at Xu Qing.
When Xu Qing felt Ao Heng’s gaze, she stared back indifferently and thought to herself, “This old man is crazy!”
Although Ao Heng couldn’t read Xu Qing’s gaze, he felt that she was mocking him, so he became even angrier. However, when he thought of his plan, he turned around angrily and raised his hand to get someone to carry out the things he had prepared.
Soon, a few adult men carried a black longbow over. From their postures, those who didn’t know better would think that this bow weighed a thousand catties. They actually held it with so much effort.
The bow looked like a sickle and had an intimidating aura. There were a few black gems embedded on it, and the gems emitted a strong murderous aura.
Qiao Yanhui’s eyes flickered when he saw this. He had heard of this bow, which was said to have been passed down from the first emperor of the Ancient Kingdom. It was called the Sunset Bow. According to the words of an expert like Deng Jiangming, this bow was definitely one of the best in the archery world and had an unshakable position.
Such a peerless bow also had an arrow that matched it. Unfortunately, the matching arrow disappeared over time. Even Deng Jiangming didn’t have a suitable arrow.
Qiao Yanhui narrowed his eyes menacingly. Ao Heng had hidden this Sunset Bow very well, as if with this bow, his position would be stable. But this time, Ao Heng actually took it out so readily.
“This bow is called Sunset Bow. It was passed down by our country’s first emperor. It’s said that only those who can draw it are qualified to be an overlord! Today, I’m offering this bow as the reward for first place in the hunt!” As Ao Heng spoke, he prepared to pick up Sunset Bow, but he realized that he couldn’t. He knew that Sunset Bow was very heavy, but he could pick it up in the past! Ao Heng’s expression darkened. In the end, he used all his strength before finally lifting Sunset Bow above his head.
