Immortality: Raising an Ant Queen to Cultivate by increasing stat points

Chapter 317: Chapter 310: The He Family Isn’t as Rich as Imagined_1

Although Wang Wanyan had read thousands of books and was knowledgeable, she was ultimately just a country girl with limited experience and exposure. Usually, she would spend her time in seclusion reading books, playing the guqin, practicing needlework, or tending flowers and plants, a typical homebody.

When she suddenly encountered the violent He Family, whose strength was so great it left her in despair, and who acted with extreme brutality,

they not only beat up her father but also went so far as to kidnap her directly.

This was probably the first time in her life that she had witnessed such lawlessness.

It was certain that she was terrified.

In the moment of crisis, she saw her beloved appear in her despair and quickly eliminate the enemies, then rescued her. At this moment, Qin Niu’s status in her heart reached an unprecedented height.

“Hero” was likely the word she would use to describe Qin Niu.

“It’s alright now, it’s alright,” Qin Niu whispered, “as long as I’m here, I won’t allow anyone to hurt you or your family.”

Qin Niu gently patted her back, soothing her with his calm voice.

The lackeys of the He Family had already scattered in all directions like rats, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Qin Niu was very clear that given how things had escalated, the situation had intensified.

What followed was that the conflict with the He Family would become even more fierce.

Having slain an Innate Realm expert of the He Family, Qin Niu had thus exposed part of his strength.

It was both a good thing and a bad thing.

On the positive side, it could make the He Family understand that his strength was formidable, fully capable of killing an Innate Realm expert. Whether they wanted to continue clashing with such a powerful adversary, the He Family would surely give it careful consideration.

To be honest, even for the established noble families in the area, experts of the Innate Realm were absolutely rare talents.

Losing one would certainly hurt the He Family deeply.

Continuing to fight against Qin Niu might result in the loss of even more of the family’s top warriors.

Not to mention Innate Realm experts, even the Acquired Realm masters were not something the Yan or He Families could produce in large numbers.

All of them were considered high-level talent.

On the negative side, having exposed his strength, the enemy would no longer treat him as an ordinary Insect Master.

“Ah Niu, quickly take my daughter and run, the farther the better.”

After seeing Qin Niu kill He Siye, Wang Furen knew it would only invite fiercer retaliation from the He Family.

“Dad, if we’re going, let’s go together.”

Wang Wanyan looked at her father with tears in her eyes.

“Wait, give me a moment,”

Wang Furen said, suddenly remembering something, and he quickly ran into the house. It took almost a quarter of an hour before he returned.

In his hand was a well-packed bundle.

“Wan Yan, take this with you. Your father hasn’t saved much over the years, but it’s all in there. Live a good life with Ah Niu in the future, and don’t be wilful, do you understand?”

Wang Furen’s love for his daughter was evident in his face, his eyes, and etched in his heart.

He was a man who loved money dearly.

Yet at this moment, he gave all his possessions to his daughter.

The time he had spent inside just now must have involved considerable effort to retrieve his hidden wealth.

“Dad, I won’t go. If we go, we all go together.”

Wang Wanyan said through her tears.

“Silly child, your father is old. If I go with you, in the end, none of us would escape. The He Family’s pursuers are likely to arrive soon, so you must hurry. Child, your father won’t be able to take care of you in the future; you have to take good care of yourself and cherish your health, do you understand?”

Wang Furen looked at his daughter reluctantly but, worrying about the He Family’s experts catching up, he could only urge her to quickly escape with Qin Niu.

“Ah Niu, I entrust my daughter to you. You must not deceive or hit her. If she does something to make you angry, for the sake of Uncle Wang who once helped your family, don’t hold it against her. I’m begging you,”

Wang Furen pleaded with Qin Niu.

Asking for help is like swallowing a three-foot sword.

If he didn’t love his daughter to the marrow of his bones, why would he plead so earnestly with Qin Niu, a junior?

“Uncle Wang, things have not reached that point yet. But there is one thing I can assure you of, I will take good care of Wan Yan, cherish her, love her, and protect her for a lifetime.” Qin Niu had no intention of fleeing.

The benefits from those hundred acres of good farmland were indeed significant, especially with several acres of fertile black soil.

But in Qin Niu’s eyes, it was just so-so.

If he had not been confident in contending with the He Family, he would have certainly settled for peace, grudgingly letting the He Family push him around.

Just like when Wang Haikun had stolen his wolf skin, at that time, with his strength still weak, he did not stubbornly resist Wang Haikun.

Instead, he wisely “gifted” the wolf skin to the other party.

It wasn’t until later, when his strength grew stronger and even enabled him to dominate Wang Haikun’s elder brother, that he began to strike back powerfully.

Now, dealing with the He Family was the same.

Qin Niu was not impulsive or reckless, but had made the decision after much thought and deliberation.

“Ah Niu, do not try to act tough. The He Family has been established locally for hundreds of years, over three hundred years earlier than the Yan Family. Not to mention you, even the Yan Family would give them some leeway. Listen to your uncle’s advice and hurry up and flee with Wan Yan. This Sweaty Precious Horse is fast enough to help you both quickly escape Jade Stream Town.”

The meaning in Wang Furen’s words was very clear, he was telling Qin Niu to flee with Wang Wanyan.

In his eyes, Xiao Qing was just a servant, who would naturally be abandoned without hesitation when the master was in danger.

“Uncle Wang, trust me, if it really comes to the point of needing to flee for our lives, I will definitely take Wan Yan and you with me. We are not at that point yet.”

Qin Niu had taken a stroll in the deep mountains that day.

There was water in the mountains and the Ancient Banyan Tree served as a natural shelter. Even if the He Family had warriors in the Spirit Qi Realm, Qin Niu felt capable of handling them.

Furthermore, he would seize the time to cultivate insects, making them a formidable fighting force as well.

Seeing that he could not persuade Qin Niu, Wang Furen could only sigh heavily.

“Ah… You young people do not understand the severity, and you will suffer greatly sooner or later.”

That being said, Wang Furen had no way to enforce his will since Qin Niu refused to flee.

He was of advanced age, and his cultivation was no different from an ordinary person. He could not run far nor protect Wang Wanyan.

So he could only listen to Qin Niu and stay at home.

If they did not need to flee, that would naturally be for the best.

Qin Niu had already started to rummage through the corpse of the Innate Realm warrior, looking for valuables.

His movements were extremely skilled.

However, after the search, he had only found silver notes worth three hundred taels and some silver pieces.

This Innate Realm warrior from the He Family was really poor.

Moreover, his weapon had been destroyed.

It was better than nothing.

He then went to search the body of He Sire.

But as he approached, he smelled a stench of urine mixed with the smell of feces. This coward, what a disgrace.

When posturing, he was arrogant enough.

Who knew he was such a coward that he wet himself with fear at the moment of death.

Luckily, Qin Niu had a small gain from searching the body, finding silver notes and silver adding up to just over nine hundred taels. Almost a thousand taels.

“This is strange, is it that the local tycoons are too poor? Or have I recently become too rich?”

Qin Niu wondered to himself.

He wasn’t very clear about the financial situation of the local elite families.

He Sire, after all, was one of the seven sons of the He Family, managing their plantation industry, yet he had less than a thousand taels of cash on him.freeωebnovēl.c૦m
