Chapter 742: Chapter 99: Fierce Wife Beats Young Qing! Tian Yan Actually…… (Seeking Monthly Ticket)_3ccccc

Wang Zong’an was so frightened that his breath hitched.

No, no, no! The celestial Tian Yan actually dared to challenge his mother, even after witnessing her strength. Was she absolutely insane?

Surprisingly, events took a turn that completely caught him off guard.

“Sister, you’re powerful and domineering.” As soon as she reached Liu Ruolan, Tian Yan cooed like a little bird perching on someone’s arm, “At first, I was worried for you, sister. But who would have thought, that pitiful slob, Cao Youqing, would ever be a match for you?”

“Sister, your moves just now were so amazing. Little Yan felt as if she was watching a goddess descended from heaven. Just how lucky this Young Master Shouzhe is to be able to marry a goddess like you!”

“Sister, you have such lovely skin! Are you perhaps using the Wang family’s skincare line? Huh, you don’t? Oh, I am so jealous! No mortal can compare to your natural beauty, sister.”

The expressions, the attitudes, the dialogues were even more sycophantic than Wang Shouzhe and Wang Zong An’s, completely shameless.

Wang Zong’an’s eyes bulged round, and even the usually composed Wang Shouzhe was left dumbfounded and disoriented.

A quarter of an hour later.

Liu Ruolan had been thoroughly schmoozed. The two women moved to a corner, discussing common feminine topics like skincare routines and cooking recipes as if no one else was around.

Under Tian Yan’s fawning, Liu Ruolan’s passion for cooking was reignited. She even started inviting Tian Yan to the Wang family residence so she could cook for her….

Father and son Wang Shouzhe exchanged looks. Who knew Tian Yan was capable of this?

Could it be, she was planning to save the day in a roundabout manner?

…

Several days after the death of Cao Youqing, came the downfall of the Cao family’s “Old Master Kunhao”, who had been besieged by the three Purple Abode cultivators at the edge of the Qingluo Sea.

The survival capability of the Purple Abode cultivators was much greater than that of the Heavenly Human realm cultivators, not to mention the “Old Master Kunhao” who had been alive for hundreds of years, holding countless trump cards. Hence, it was more difficult to defeat him.

It was a remarkable feat that they managed to kill him with three against one.

Not long after.

The news spread throughout Longzuo county and Liaoyuan county, the message even reaching Qing’an prefecture.

The number of Purple Abode cultivators was already scarce. Apart from those who naturally died of old age, or died outside the territories, the instances of internal deaths due to conflicts were scarce. And now, with the downfall of Old Master Kunhao, the Sky Pride of the Sacred Land, Cao Youqing had died too.

This incident naturally led to heated discussions and captivated attention.

However, the Prefectural Governor of Longzuo, Taishi Ankang, had already prepared. He handed over all evidence acquired in advance to the National Capital and the Sacred Land to prove that Kunhao and Cao Youqing were the culprits seeking their own death, while Wang Shouzhe and the others merely acted in self-defense.

The investigation and changes that followed are not detailed herein.

For most people, this news was just gossip fodder during their meals.

However, for the Cao family of Liaoyuan, it was disastrous news.

Just as the family was immersed in grief and mourning, a crisis immediately ensued.

Old competitors bared their teeth, suppressing and disrespecting the Cao family. While some allies steered clear for fear of getting implicated, some added fuel to the fire and seized this opportunity to gain a piece of the pie.

Whether the Cao family could make it through the present crisis was uncertain, but their decline was inevitable.

Simultaneously, as the victors of this conflict, the social standing of the Qian family of Longzuo and the Wang Clan of Changning in both Longzuo and Liaoyuan counties rose rapidly and in the short term, even surpassed the local prominent Purple Abode families.

…

Within the same timeframe.

North of the Southern Desert County is not the territory of the Great Qian Land.

Cross the vast outer grassland and desert, and you will reach a seemingly boundless uninhabited forest further north.

Pass through this uninhabited forest and go further north, and you will reach a comparatively flat plateau, less complicated in terms of the environment. This plateau is known as the “Desert North Plateau”.

Living on the plateau is a tribe known as “Kuyeswa”, who make a living from hunting and nomadic pastoralism.

In their language, “Kuyeswa” means “children of the sky and earth”.

The Kuyeswa tribe regards the Dapeng and the gray wolf as their totems, believing that they are the descendants of the “king of the sky”, the golden-winged Dapeng, and the “king of the earth”, the ancient gray wolf, and are thus the favored children of the heavens and earth.

However, within the Great Qian Land, they are also known by another name – “The Barbarians of the Desert North”.

The Desert North Barbarian tribe is a vassal state of the Great Qian Land. Every ten years, both lands send merchant groups to each other to trade.

A lot of the widely popular cattle and horse breeds in the Great Qian Land, like the North Heavy War Horse, North Beef, etc., are the offspring of native breeds and the Desert North breeds.

Correspondingly, the Great Qian Land also had a massive influence on the Desert North Barbarian tribe.

The heir to the throne of each generation from the Desert North, after being chosen, would go on to study in the Lingyun Sacred Land of the Great Qian for decades and only after completing their education, would they return to their homeland to inherit the throne.

Over thousands of years, the culture of the Great Qian had deeply rooted in the Desert North.
