Doomsday: Gain experience by hunting

The chaotic airwave crashed into the towering city walls, its force diminished.

It pushed over several rows of barracks and houses before finally dissipating.

The yellow sand carried by the airwave fluttered down, obscuring the sky and the moon.

The air was thick with dust, visibility was poor, and it was difficult to see far away.

Tang Wen and the others stopped running.

They waved their hands, stirring up the air, and blew away the yellow sand in front of them.

The people woke up in alarm, children cried, and stray dogs barked wildly.

The whole city became noisy, even more bustling than a temple fair.

Seventh-rank Transcendent, sixth-rank Gang Martial, fifth-rank Divine Martial Realm cultivators, yet not a single person spoke, remaining silent and looking towards the west.

Ganshan City was a hundred miles wide and long, its influence extending thousands of miles.

Millions of people lived here.

But the fate of Ganshan City was decided by only one person.

As if sensing something.

The children's cries subsided, and the stray dogs gradually stopped barking.

The guards climbed up from the ground, covered in yellow sand, stood blankly in place for a while, and then began to help their injured comrades.

This was at the foot of the city wall.

The collapsed houses were where the guards lived.

The guards had been urgently assembled when Huang San was slammed into the city wall.

The barracks were empty when they collapsed. But when the city wall collapsed, the overwhelming airwave crashed into the guards, throwing them into the air, and some were bound to be injured.

Tang Wen stared blankly at the western sky, his eyes vacant.

After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly felt two small hands touching him, as if checking him. He looked down and saw Shui Yun's face, bright and moving, her slender waist pressed close to him.

He subconsciously hugged her, and Shui Yun breathed a sigh of relief:

"You scared me! I thought you were injured!"

Tang Wen smiled and looked at the western sky again, softly saying, "A true man should live like that."

"What?" Shui Yun didn't understand, and hugged him back.

Tang Wen brushed aside the stray hairs on her forehead, found her red lips, and kissed her fiercely, regardless of the surroundings.

After a long time, they separated.

He said it again: "Senior Sister, I want to become a fourth-rank."

Yes, at least fourth-rank.

Fourth-rank?

Aunt Lian, who was next to them, wanted to mock him, but when she turned her head and saw his young and handsome face, she didn't say the words out loud.

She shook her head secretly: How easy is it to become a fourth-rank?

Forget it.

Who hasn't been young?

In Ganshan City, a fifth-rank Divine Martial Realm cultivator could dominate an area.

Within the thousands of miles controlled by Ganshan City, they were like local emperors.

They could decide life and death with a single word.

Tang Wen was now a powerful young master, holding the lives of tens of thousands of people in his hands!

After taking Lin Shi and tasting the taste of power.

He couldn't help but feel a little carried away.

Until today, when he encountered a battle between fourth-ranks, and even the aftermath of the battle could send fifth-ranks fleeing in panic and collapse a giant city like a hot knife through butter.

He once again felt an extreme desire for strength.

That feeling was even stronger than when he had just transmigrated and was unsure of his future.

Back then, he just wanted to be full.

Now, he wants to control his destiny.

"I believe in you." Shui Yun, who was hugging Tang Wen as if no one else was around, had a slightly red face.

Suddenly, someone shouted:

"He's back!"

They both looked up at the same time, but the yellow sand still obscured their vision, making it difficult to see clearly.

Fifth-rank experts were in the air.

They saw a black dot in the distance, as if it were a person. The next second, they saw a blur in front of them, and the person was already in front of them.

"It's the City Lord!"

"The City Lord is back alone?"

"Doesn't that mean we won!"

"That little tiger is no match for the City Lord after all!"

"Hahaha! Tonight is really exciting..."

A feeling of surviving a disaster rose from everyone's face.

Many fifth-ranks also breathed a sigh of relief.

Although fifth-ranks and sixth-ranks could establish themselves anywhere, and were superior to others even if they left Ganshan City.

But who would be willing to abandon their foundation and start over?

Besides, where else was as prosperous as Ganshan City.

Awoo~

The roar resounded through the heavens and the earth.

The people's relief and joy, along with the Huang family's excitement and desire to counterattack, froze on their faces.

The Jade Tiger wasn't dead.

No!

The City Lord's condition wasn't right.

The front was fine, but the clothes on his back were torn to shreds, like a beggar's outfit.

The skin on his back was blood red.

Was he ambushed by that Jade Tiger?

The City Lord was injured!

What about the Jade Tiger? Was it also injured?

With such great emotional ups and downs, everyone didn't know what to say.

On the ground, Tang Wen and the others climbed to higher ground, and hearing the sound, they also became worried.

Ordinary guards didn't think too much, and did what they were supposed to do.

Anyway, if the sky fell, the experts would be there to support them.

The Jade Tiger slowly swam over from the air.

Its body exuded a jade color, its fur was glowing, as if it hadn't lost a single hair.

The City Lord calmly scanned the surroundings, and said in a hoarse tone, not hurried, not slow: "From today onwards, Ganshan City and the White Tiger Village will form an alliance."

Everyone visibly relaxed.

It was good as long as there was no war.

It was also good to have a strong ally.

The City Lord continued: "The Huang family will take out 20% of their annual harvest and exchange it for grain, rice, oil, salt, cloth, silk, and other goods to give to the White Tiger Tribe. The rest of the families will take out 10%."

Wow!

This was to be a city-wide tribute!

Did the City Lord lose?

Another voice rang out: "Our White Tiger Clan will send people to help guard the underground Demon Cave."

It was that little Jade Tiger.

It stretched out a tiger paw and said: "Five, five fifth-ranks stationed there will do."

The leaders of the major forces looked slightly better when they heard this.

Five, which was almost the total number of fifth-rank experts on the surface of the Blackwater Gang.

Going out to "start a business" could also occupy a territory and be qualified to take a share of the income from the families in Ganshan City.

And going down to the underground to guard was not an easy task, and if something happened, they would have to risk their lives.

Everyone was more psychologically acceptable.

Of course, the Huang family was unwilling to admit it, and even less willing to pay 20% as tribute.

But the situation was stronger than them, and the City Lord was obviously at a disadvantage, so they naturally didn't dare to explode.

Tang Wen was curious and asked Shui Yun through voice transmission: "Senior Sister, why aren't the other fourth-ranks of the Huang family showing up?"

Fifth-rank experts had a lifespan of one or two hundred years, and fourth-ranks were probably even longer.

The City Lord wasn't a lifelong position.

The Huang family had produced more than one City Lord, and there should be at least one fourth-rank in the family.

Shui Yun shook her head: "The City Lord has always been mysterious and reclusive. It's hard to say whether the Huang family has other fourth-ranks."

She didn't use voice transmission, and Aunt Lian, who was next to her, heard and replied to the two of them: "There probably aren't any. Not only does the Huang family not have any, but there is likely only one fourth-rank in Ganshan City, the City Lord."

"Huh?"

Tang Wen, Shui Yun, and Li Zi looked very curious.

Aunt Lian: "This is just speculation, it hasn't been verified, don't spread it out."

The three of them looked at each other, knowing that now wasn't the time to discuss this, and stopped talking.

After the Jade Tiger finished speaking, it didn't care about everyone's reaction, turned around and returned to the young woman's arms, opened its small mouth wide, and yawned.

The City Lord glanced at it, didn't stay any longer, and turned around straight to the City Lord's Mansion in the inner city.

The young woman riding the white tiger didn't have much respect for the fourth-rank, and stroked it like a cat, and occasionally rubbed its head.

A fifth-rank expert from the Chamber of Commerce who liked to keep pets was very envious when he saw this scene.

He couldn't help but rush down to stroke it a few times to satisfy his craving.

The City Lord left, and the Huang family had their bones broken, and temporarily lost their leader.

Everyone turned their attention to the Chen family's patriarch.

The latter thought for a while, stood up and said: "Ladies, it's windy here, let's move to the city to talk!"

There was no room for negotiation on what the City Lord had decided.

But whether it was paying tribute, handing over supplies, or exchanging for fifth-rank experts to garrison.

It wasn't just a matter of a few words.

Many details needed to be discussed.

"Okay."

The young woman didn't discuss it with anyone, directly agreed, urged the white tiger, and led the way into the city.

Seven white tigers rose into the air, flew over the ruins, and came directly to the city.

Fifth-rank mounts.

Tang Wen looked at them with envy, wondering if they sold their white tigers?

The women riding on the tigers looked around, feeling novel about everything in the city.

There was an open square between the outer city and the inner city.

The two sides stopped here.

Without being ordered, Shui Qianjun, the leader of the Giant Rock Gang, and the leaders of other major forces consciously ordered their core personnel to come closer to discuss matters, and the rest guarded outside the square, not allowing anyone to approach casually.

Li Zi pouted and lowered her head to leave, Tang Wen, Shui Yun, Aunt Lian, and several vice gang leaders stepped forward together.

The three major families in the inner city, the five major forces in the outer city, each with ten or so people.

Several fifth-ranks from the Huang family also came.

There were hundreds of people participating in the meeting.

"How should we address you, Miss?"

"This is our clan's Holy Maiden."

"White Tiger Holy Maiden, since the City Lord has ordered that each family will give you supplies every year in exchange for your fifth-rank experts to help us, we will not refuse. However, the annual income is different, we will offer the accounts, and you can send people to check and verify them." The Chen family's patriarch beautified the matter of offering supplies first, and tried to make things simple and easy to understand.

"Okay." The Holy Maiden looked at everyone, her eyes falling on the Chen family's patriarch: "We were originally invited by the Blackwater Gang to discuss cooperation. Since this is the case, the Blackwater Gang should be responsible for transporting supplies and daily communication with our tribe."

Huh?!

The White Tiger Holy Maiden sounded very disciplined and easy to talk to.

She didn't have the slightest imposing manner, and her words were considerate of Ganshan City's face.

The gang leaders of the major forces were all shrewd people.

They keenly realized that communicating with the White Tiger Tribe was a very beneficial thing!

"Holy Maiden, our Blackwater Gang is willing to take on this important task!" Shui Qianjun was overjoyed and reacted quickly.

As soon as his words landed, he immediately agreed without thinking.

"Don't rush, don't rush, there's no need to decide now."

Before the Holy Maiden could nod, the Chen family's patriarch was unwilling.

The leaders of the Horse Gang and the Boat Gang spoke one after another:

"Holy Maiden, our Horse Gang/Boat Gang started by transporting goods, no one knows more about transporting goods than us!"

The two of them said in unison, and then glared at each other fiercely.

"The two of you are wrong, our Chamber of Commerce has the most complete goods, the matter of transporting goods should be handled by us."

The Huang family felt angry and cold.

What do you mean?

You guys are already starting to fawn over the enemy?

Betrayal!

You are betraying the city!

Although the Huang family was angry, they dared not speak out.

Thinking about the past, which city-wide meeting wasn't the Huang family the absolute protagonist.

Now they had the fewest people, contributed the most supplies, and stood in the corner like lackeys!

How could they be calm?

Unfortunately, the general trend was like this, and they had no choice but to remain silent.

Shui Qianjun: "Everyone, everyone, my gang has the deepest connection with the White Tiger Tribe, we should be responsible for it. I have already found the candidate. Tang Wen, come forward!"

Tang Wen, who was standing behind and eating melon:?

Eating melon and it fell on himself.

"Yes, Master."

Since the gang leader had named him, he had no choice but to agree and step forward.

Those who had seen Tang Wen knew that something bad was going to happen when they heard this name!

Such a handsome young man, even the big men thought he was beautiful, let alone these tiger clan women who obviously hadn't seen much of the world.

The Chen family's patriarch hadn't seen Tang Wen, and was a little surprised when he saw Shui Qianjun confidently calling out this name.

But when he turned his head and looked, good heavens!

Old Shui, you are cunning enough!

We were talking about transporting goods and communication, but you directly used a beauty trap?

Sure enough, when the seven women from the White Tiger Tribe saw Tang Wen, their eyes lit up three degrees out of thin air.

"What a handsome young man!"

The White Tiger Holy Maiden praised.

The Chen family's patriarch and others felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.

"Sister, this big brother is so good-looking! Let's snatch him back?"

The little loli's voice was clear, but she was only five or six years old, and she was saying tiger-wolf words.

"Xiao Ya, uh, don't talk nonsense."

Tang Wen stopped, cupped his fists and saluted, cursing in his heart: Children don't lie, these women are as cold as icebergs, I didn't expect the clan to have a custom of snatching men!

Was this Holy Maiden hesitant just now?

She wouldn't really want to take him away, would she?

Tang Wen suddenly felt that his personal safety was not guaranteed.

Who would dare to stop a fourth-rank from taking him away?

At most, Master would take the opportunity to cry and ask the White Tiger Tribe for some benefits!

At this moment, the Chen family's patriarch stood up and stood between Tang Wen and the Holy Maiden.

He said with a smile: "The Holy Maiden has come from afar and must be tired, there's no need to rush to a decision, why not rest at my house first, and wait for each of us to gather young talents, cough cough, I mean, we will hold a young talent exchange meeting. The Holy Maiden can relax for two days before discussing important matters."

"What is an exchange meeting? Is it just a bonfire party? Is there anything good to eat?"

The little bean from the White Tiger Tribe, called "Xiao Ya" by the Holy Maiden, poked her head out from her sister's ribs, her face full of longing.

At her age, she was more interested in food than in handsome men or anything else.

The Chen family's patriarch smiled: "Sweet and sour, fragrant and spicy, you can have whatever you want."

"Sister, sister!"

The little loli shook the Holy Maiden's arm.

The Holy Maiden glanced at Tang Wen, thought of the words young talents that the Chen family's patriarch said, and did not refuse: "Thank you, everyone."

"You're welcome, Holy Maiden, everyone, this way please."

The leader of the Chamber of Commerce took the opportunity to say: "My Chamber of Commerce has more than a dozen exquisitely crafted mansions in the inner and outer cities, the Holy Maiden might as well look around and see which one you like, you can just stay there."

The major forces were not short of mansions.

After a long silence, the Lü family and Juyan Martial Hall spoke up, offering their residences as well.

If the Holy Maiden wished, no, any lady or the White Tiger Lord, if they desired to reside there, they would offer it freely.

The leaders, like stars surrounding the moon, escorted the White Tiger group forward, with Tang Wen inadvertently falling behind.

Upon seeing Shui Yun, he immediately embraced her.

They both spoke at the same time:

Tang Wen explained, "Senior Sister, it wasn't my intention to actively seek this."

Shui Yun sighed, "Why didn't you seize the opportunity, Junior Brother?!"

Tang Wen: ??

What kind of reaction is this?

Shui Yun pulled him far behind, continuing, "Junior Brother! The strength of this White Tiger Tribe is even greater than our Ganshan City. Our Blackwater Gang is only ranked in the middle to lower tiers within the city. If we can befriend the White Tiger Holy Maiden, it will be greatly beneficial to us."

Tang Wen was shocked: Senior Sister, are you trying to put a hat on me!

Have you forgotten that we're lovers?

However, why is this plot so familiar?

《I Help My Beloved Wife Achieve Glory in Ganshan City》

《My Handsome Young Boyfriend Becomes a Boost to My Career》

No!

Tang Wen's expression changed repeatedly.

The familiarity wasn't from some obscure novel he had read before.

But because he had just experienced, or rather, was experiencing something similar!

Flame Camp!

His girlfriend, his fiancée, was Zhou Bing.

As a result, the White family's young lady took a fancy to his—abilities.

Flame Camp turned around and gave him to the White family's young lady.

Half sold, half given away.

His own girlfriend, Zhou Bing, "demanded more money."

Thus, she obtained a portion of marrow-nourishing fluid.

Hiss~

So, I've already helped my girlfriend achieve glory once!

Zhou Bing, Bai Youruo.

Shui Yun, White Tiger Holy Maiden!

Am I the clown myself?

At this very moment!

Like that time, like this moment?

Shui Yun was persuading him when she suddenly noticed that her junior brother's emotions were off.

As an experienced driver who had been riding horses since childhood, she thought for a moment and understood.

Looking left and right to make sure no one was around, she grabbed Tang Wen's face and gave him a fierce series of kisses.

"Junior Brother, don't overthink it! Senior Sister only loves you, I don't even glance at anyone else. In the future, our children will definitely inherit the Blackwater Gang."

"Then why is Senior Sister pushing me away?"

Tang Wen bent over slightly, not wanting to eat Shui Yun's empty promises.

The kisses just now were too intense, it's hard not to have a reaction.

Shui Yun chuckled, pulling him towards another path.

"The White Tiger Tribe is so powerful, and it's run by women. It's beneficial for us if you befriend them!

We can borrow even greater assistance, which is advantageous for us!"

Shui Yun took his arm.

The Blackwater Gang looks infinitely glamorous, but it's actually not stable.

Not to mention, the Huang family has always been eyeing them covetously.

They want to bring the Blackwater Gang under their control.

Shui Yun grew up in this environment, and her father is the gang leader, so she has always considered the gang her home since childhood.

With the home constantly under threat, her heart is always filled with a sense of crisis.

Now, a turning point has appeared.

She only needs to sacrifice her fiancé/junior brother/little lover.

No, it can't be considered a sacrifice at all.

The women of the White Tiger Tribe are not洪水猛獸, but are as beautiful as immortals instead.

This is taking advantage!

And the matter is not difficult.

Tang Wen's appearance is extraordinary, one in a hundred years.

Seducing them is as easy as plucking something from a bag.

As long as they establish a solid relationship, would the Huang family dare to reach out to the Blackwater Gang?

Hehe.

Based on her understanding of the Huang family, they wouldn't dare even if they were beaten to death!

Everyone in the city knows that the Huang family is good at fighting with the wind behind their backs.

Bullying the weak with the strength of the many is their specialty.

But they also cherish their lives and fear death.

For example, just now, without knowing that Little Jade Tiger was a fourth-rank.

Fifteen fifth-ranks, facing thirteen fifth-ranks from the White Tiger Tribe.

Even on their own territory, with the city lord about to arrive, they didn't dare to act.

They are so afraid of taking risks.

If the Blackwater Gang and the White Tiger Tribe had in-depth cooperation, the Huang family would naturally not dare to cause trouble.

The more Shui Yun thought about it, the more excited she became. One stone, two birds, even three birds.

Why not do it?

As long as she binds her junior brother while encouraging him to develop feelings with the White Tiger Holy Maiden.

Shui Yun brought him back to her courtyard.

It was Tang Wen's first time here. Passing through three gate towers, bypassing a shadow wall carved with paired phoenixes, passing through the second courtyard where female guards lived, in front of the main house were jagged rockeries and blooming plum blossoms.

Beneath the rockeries, hot springs emitted steam, and several golden koi fish swam happily back and forth.

"Senior Sister's home is very elegant."

"What?" Shui Yun suddenly became dissatisfied.

"I said your home is very artistic."

"It's our home, our home!" Shui Yun grabbed his collar, saying fiercely.

"Then we are engaged in secret."

"Hmph!"

As a wife would treat her husband, Shui Yun hooked his arm, and under the surprised, curious, and admiring gazes of the maids, she led him into her boudoir.

The fragrance like orchids and musk, the slightly dim environment, the atmosphere was instantly in place.

Tang Wen lowered his head and leaned into his senior sister's warm white neck, taking a deep breath.

His breath tickled her skin, but Shui Yun didn't avoid it, and ordered outside, "Serve breakfast, and prepare the hot spring in the bathroom."

First eat, then eat people.

Tang Wen was a hundred times satisfied in his heart.

Rich meaty porridge, delicate and delicious pastries, and moderately sweet and sour side dishes.

The two sat at the dining table, the table shaking constantly.

Under the table, several legs kept fighting.

Sometimes entangled together, sometimes clamped together.

After breakfast, a maid served refreshing mouth tea with floral fragrance.

A plain-looking female housekeeper walked in: "Miss, the water is ready."

Tang Wen's eyes lit up, Shui Yun's cheeks were slightly red, and she introduced generously: "Okay, this is Young Master Tang Wen, my future husband. Take his measurements and make a few clothes for him."

The female housekeeper was stunned, her smile even stronger: "Miss is very fortunate. I've long heard of Young Master Tang Wen's good name. Seeing him today, he is indeed as beautiful as jade. Young Master, please wait a moment, I'll go get the tailor."

There was another sentence she didn't say, making clothes today is too late.

Unless Young Master stays at home for two days.

Tang Wen put down his teacup: Why does this sound so awkward?

Senior Sister is beautiful as a flower, with a charming figure, and she's encouraging me to find other women.

It seems that I'm the one who's fortunate.

The two drank tea and waited quietly.

Waiting and waiting, they got tired of each other.

Without knowing how, Shui Yun sat on Tang Wen's lap.

Waiting for someone in this position, time passed quickly.

But before the tailor came, Aunt Lian came instead.

"You two!"

"Eh?"

The two separated their heads, there was a trace of crystal in the air.

Shui Yun quickly took a sip of tea.

"Who told you to come home? The eight major forces are outside, fighting for the White Tiger Tribe's goodwill, they're about to start fighting, but you two are good, hiding at home kissing!"

Tang Wen and Shui Yun were stunned.

Kissing?

Aunt Lian's words are really down-to-earth.

Even Shui Yun couldn't stand her complaining, and buried her head in Tang Wen's shoulder, pretending to be an ostrich.

Aunt Lian didn't intend to let them go.

"Hmph! Luckily it was me who came, otherwise tomorrow, no, tonight the whole city would know that when Ganshan City encountered a big event, the Blackwater Gang's young master and young lady were not only not worried, but actually hid to kiss!"

She said 'kissing' over and over, so that the two couldn't lift their heads.

Fortunately, she had something urgent, and changed her words: "Come with me quickly, it's been decided over there."

Shui Yun got off Tang Wen's lap.

Aunt Lian said quickly: "Except for the Huang family who have no face to compete, every other family wants to get close to the White Tiger Clan, wants to communicate with them, and act as their spokesperson or even ally in Ganshan City.

That White Tiger Holy Maiden simply proposed to compete with the young masters and heirs of various forces.

Whoever has higher martial arts skills will cooperate with her."
