Qiao Mai sat down. The Grand Master never took his eyes off her face.
“Madam, are you from the Great Ming Dynasty?” “Smart. It seems you were prepared for this?”
“You broke my restrictions? You broke our curse worm?”
“Yes, I also destroyed your Holy Dark Temple. What can you do to me?”
“Admirable! You’re the first person who dares to disrespect us. You are so young. I wonder about your strength. You even delivered yourself to us!”
Qiao Mai’s face darkened. She grabbed the Grand Master’s robe like an eagle snatching a chick. The Grand Master shivered in fear.
How did she do that? It’s incredible!
“Luring my kingdom’s emperor on the road, sending people to poison my son-in-law, using seduction to cause a rift between him and my daughter… How can I not settle the score?”
“You… Let go of me!”
“I’ll kill you all like squashing a bug. I destroyed your palace as a lesson.”
“Are you the Duke of Blessing’s wife?”
“It’s good that you know.”
Qiao Mai did not release her grip on him. With her other hand, she slashed towards the other black-robed men.
A series of screams echoed as the men fell one after another. The Grand Master’s eyes turned red. “Stop! Stop!”
Qiao Mai snorted, throwing the Grand Master away.
“What happened? Do you regret killing people now? Weren’t you ruthless a moment ago and ready to kill innocent civilians?” “The strong are respected. It’s their fault for being weak.”
“Yeah. Whose fault is it for being weak?”
The Grand Master fell silent. He got up, looking at his fallen subordinates, and burst into tears.
Qiao Mai pointed at him, crippling his martial arts.
“This is your lesson. Killing you is too easy. If you ever dare to scheme against my Great Ming Dynasty again, I’ll make sure you die without a burial place.” She stood up, flicked her shirt, and walked away.
The Grand Master lay on the ground, shedding tears of regret. If he hadn’t investigated it, he could have kept his subordinates alive longer, but bringing a suspect had led to their catastrophic downfall.
The four Sect Lords were dead, and his capable generals were gone.
Devil. She was a devil. Without even blinking, she killed so many people and crippled him.
If he didn’t leave this place soon, the people on the island would know he had become useless, and he would face disastrous storms.
The Grand Master wiped his tears, searching for treasures in the temple.
He planned to take them away quietly and find a secluded place to start over.
Unexpectedly, all his wealth was gone. He thought of that woman, pounded his chest, and stamped his feet.
It was over, all over!
Qiao Mai returned to the inn, closed the door, and looked at the temple opposite, smiling.
If they hadn’t taken her there, she might have given them a chance. Unfortunately, he wanted to kill in front of her, so she had to act.
Once they’re dead, it’s over. They won’t harm anyone else in the future.
As for the scattered followers of the Holy Dark Temple in various kingdoms, they are just small fries and won’t make a significant impact.
Qiao Mai placed a ban on the Grand Master’s brain. If he doesn’t behave in the future, the consequence will be a head explosion.
There would have been a large-scale battle if it were anyone else.
They didn’t expect things to end so quickly. It was their actions that catalyzed this war.
If they had known that capturing Qiao Mai would lead to such a catastrophic disaster, they wouldn’t have done it even if they were beaten to death.
The black-robed men disappeared from the island that day.
Upon learning of their demise, the islanders happily spread the news.
It seemed they had not been treating the people well.
After settling the matter, Qiao Mai and Greeny collected plants and poisonous insects on the island.
Greeny marked out an area in the space to raise these poisonous creatures.
Qiao Mai captured a few curse worms in the Holy Dark Temple, including a golden Curse Worm King.
Creatures like these were not sold on the platform.
Greeny was ecstatic. “Master, this golden insect has a trace of the bloodline of an ancient worm king. If it evolves properly, it will be a great help to you.” “If I don’t go to the immortal realm, strength is useless.” “Master, if you cultivate properly, you can definitely go within ten years.” “Even if I can, I won’t go. I want to accompany my husband.”
“Speaking of which, your husband is the hardest man to find in this world.” “I’ll accompany him through this journey first. It’s not urgent. Anyway, my talent and understanding are top-notch. Haha.”
“Don’t boast.’
On the way back, she went on a shopping spree on the island.
Arriving at the pier, she took the same boat back. It seemed like the boat was waiting specifically for her.
“Ah, madam, how fortunate.’
“Fortunate? Bring me a jar of rice wine and grilled fish.”
Qiao Mai cheerfully placed the silver in the boatman’s hands and sat at the bow cross-legged.
The boatman attentively arranged a wooden table for her, humming a song.
“Why are you so happy?
“Haha, the Holy Dark Temple is gone. We commoners don’t have to pay high taxes anymore.”
“Hehe.”
Qiao Mai took a sip of rice wine. “So, can you give me a discount on the wine and fish?” The boatman shook his head. “That’s not possible.”
“Haha.”
With Qiao Mai on board, the boat sailed smoothly. She landed six days later.
Riding on Dongzhao, she returned to Tianshui Town.
Yuan Jiaqi sat in Qiao’s Snack Shop after dealing with official affairs, waiting for Qiao Mai.
Only when the lanterns were lit did he return home.
“Husband?” Qiao Mai shouted at him from a distance.
Yuan Jiaqi stood up and ran towards her. “Wife, you’ve worked hard.” “The matter is resolved. We don’t have to worry about the Holy Dark Temple anymore.”
“Are you tired? Come, let’s go home.”
He took Dongzhao’s reins and held Qiao Mai’s hand, walking back to Lucky Garden. The people in town witnessed this scene, envious and admiring.
“The duke and his wife are so affectionate.’
“Of course. He only has eyes for Madam Qiao.”
Unbeknownst to them, a pair of melancholy eyes watched Yuan Jiaqi in a corner of Tianshui Town.
This person was the girl who had followed them from Taihang Mountain. She persisted, inquiring about them all the way here.
Upon hearing that the man she admired was the Duke of Blessings, her heart sank like falling into an ice cave.
Although she knew it was impossible, she still found herself trapped.
She always watched him from afar, not daring to get close, afraid of making him hate her more. Until now, she didn’t know how to approach Yuan Jiaqi. Now that Qiao Mai had returned, she had nowhere to turn.
After freshening up and lying on her bed, Qiao Mai hummed contentedly. Yuan Jiaqi sat in front of her, massaging her legs.
“Wife, was the island beautiful?”
“It was alright but hot. It was dangerous this time. Next time, I’ll take you with me.”
“Alright, I want to see it.”
“I’ll make fish for you. I collected many deep sea fish. They are all dried and taste delicious whether stir-fried or steamed.
“No hurry. You need to rest.”
“How’s the situation in the capital?”
“Ling’er has finished her postpartum recovery. She and the Crown Prince are still living the same way as before. The emperor only punished him for a month and handed over the court affairs to him again.”
“I knew it would end up like this. What about Blackie?”
“I let it stay in the capital to guard Ling’er and Chuan’er. If anything happens, we’ll be informed in advance.’
“Alright. Since the weather is getting warmer, I’ll renovate our house. It’s too cold here in winter. I’ll build a bathhouse for each courtyard and install a purification system like the one in the capital.’
“I’ll help you, wife.”
“This time, I’ll make it into a finished product. It won’t take much effort, and I won’t need to hire workers anymore. It’s troublesome.”
“Then let’s do it together?”
