Starting as a Son-in-law to Establish an immortal Family

Chapter 775: Chapter 287: Both Breakthroughs, Zhao Qingqing Attempts Foundation Establishment!_2

She wore a flamboyant red gauze dress, with a low-cut neckline that showcased her ample, snow-white skin, which seemed ready to burst forth. The dress had slits on both sides, through which her long, fair legs appeared fleetingly.

“Fairy Zhao, this isn’t quite proper, is it? We could have discussed this over a drink at the inn outside.”

A hint of awkwardness and hesitation appeared on the face of the youth in a black robe.

“What’s there to be afraid of? Or are you worried that I, your humble servant, might eat you up…”

The woman in the red dress cast a coy look, chuckled lightly, her allure captivating.

Then, she extended a fair arm and took the initiative to grasp the hand of the youth in the black robe.

...
Her body exuded a fragrance that tickled the senses, almost causing one’s heart and mind to gallop away.

The youth in the black robe was taken aback and subconsciously squeezed the tender, boneless palm in his hand.

Then, he followed the woman into the courtyard without realizing it.

“You know, you’re quite young to always wear such a stern face…”

She teased the youth in the black robe playfully, her voice dripping with coquettish charm.

“Fairy Zhao…”

The youth seemed a bit embarrassed, looking at the woman before him with a smitten gaze, then raised his palm as if intending to caress her cheek.

But the next instant.

“Puchi!”

A cold light flickered.

A dagger had appeared in the hand of the youth without knowing when.

There was no aura of spiritual power about this dagger; it was purely a manifestation of martial prowess.

It made a swift cut across the neck of the woman in the red dress, blood spraying out.

“Ehh…”

Panic, fear, and disbelief filled the eyes of the woman in the red dress.

She had not anticipated that the youth, who had just looked at her with infatuated eyes under the influence of her bewitching technique, would suddenly attack her.

And the pure martial force had been so swift and fierce that her protective magic artifact had no chance to automatically defend her.

The beautiful woman fell to the ground with a ‘thud,’ blood gushing from her neck, creating a pool of blood.

“The other two friends, come on out.”

Lu Quanzhen, clad in a black and gold robe and with a commanding presence and sharp features, spoke with a deep voice.

“Looks like you’ve hidden yourself well, boy. When did you figure something was wrong?”

From within the house, a deep voice resonated.

Two men emerged from the house, glaring coldly at Lu Quanzhen.

“I want to know why you two are so persistently targeting me?”

Lu Quanzhen’s eyes narrowed as he questioned the two men with a serious tone.

“Half a year ago, you killed two of my brothers in the Black Cloud Mountains!”

“You were only at the Sixth Level of Qi Refinement, yet you managed to slay my two brothers. This indicates that you must possess some fortuitous secrets.”

“Thus, whether it’s for avenging my brothers or for your secrets, we cannot let you go.”

One of the men, who had dark skin and was short and thin, looked at Lu Quanzhen with eyes full of murderous intent.

“The Black Cloud Mountains, two brothers?”

Lu Quanzhen’s brows slightly furrowed, immediately recalling the incident.

He remembered encountering two Robber Cultivators while hunting demon beasts in the Black Cloud Mountains.

He continued to ask: “I dealt with those two cleanly and there were no other people around at the time. How do you know about it?”

That was something he found quite puzzling.

Because he had disposed of the bodies cleanly and left no trace of himself.

“It’s because after you killed them, your body carried the scent of a perfume I had concocted!”

Another taller and thinner man spoke up.

“Perfume?”

Lu Quanzhen considered thoughtfully.

He was sure he had removed all traces after the killings.

“Stop thinking about it. This perfume is my unique blend and only spiritual beasts can detect it.”

“Now can you tell me, when did you realize something was off with Yu’er?”

The tall thin man asked Lu Quanzhen.

“It’s simple. Your motives for approaching me were too obvious, too eager.”

Lu Quanzhen spoke indifferently: “Just like now, you’re waiting for the poison to take effect on me.”

“What, you knew we were using poison?”

The expressions of the two men changed drastically upon hearing this.

They had not expected Lu Quanzhen to be aware that they had been using poison.

In this situation, he was still casually chatting with them.

“Damn, this youngster is using poison as well!”

The shorter and thinner man immediately sensed something was amiss and hastily closed off his pores, summoning his magic artifact, ready to make a move.

However, in that instant.

“Ssssh!”

A dark gold Puppet appeared, turned into a streak, and tore through the air, raising a wave of turbulence as it appeared in front of the two men.

The Puppet’s dark gold dazzling war blade, like a bolt of thunder and lightning, struck with formidable and domineering force, slashing forward.

“No…”

The two men, facing this scene, their pupils dilated, reflecting the cold dark gold war blade, felt terror, powerlessness, regret, and despair.

“Puchi!”

“Puchi!”

Their surrounding protective auras and automatic defense magic artifacts activated.

Yet against the Puppet’s slash, the aura shields shattered like bubbles.

Along with the sound of slicing flesh and anguished screams, blood sprayed, and two heads rolled.

“Phew!”

Lu Quanzhen exhaled lightly.

Looking at the two headless corpses, he murmured to himself: “With the treasures my father gave me, such trials still lack some efficacy for my benefit.”

“Without this Second Rank Puppet and the life-saving talismans from my father, even if I was fifty percent certain that these people harbored ill intentions towards me, I wouldn’t dare take such risks.”

Lu Quanzhen muttered to himself.

Although he had acted decisively, he was not entirely certain of the other party’s situation, and whether there were only three of them.

But as the saying goes, there can only be a thief for a day, not a preventative measure for a thousand days.

Since he realized he was targeted with malicious intent, and had a three to five percent certainty, he naturally chose to take action first, to counter their plans and nip the threat in the bud.

Without dwelling on it any longer, Lu Quanzhen gathered the Storage Bags of the three, burnt their bodies to ashes, and then, after scouring the room, he changed his appearance and left the Marketplace.
