Strange And Troubled Times: Eternal Life Begins From Marrying A Wife

Chapter 91: How about I betroth Li Ru to you?

"If we say that the Divine Tree is about to awaken, and Wang Jianren was killed by the Divine Tree!"

"And then invite many experts to go to Soft Wind Mountain before August 15th, will you go?"

Liang Xu's face was full of sneers.

"This...!"

Ma Yingjie was slightly stunned, then his face was full of smiles.

Previously, they invited experts from Eternal Peace Medicine Manor to go and subdue the Anomaly Divine Tree.

Those experts from Eternal Peace Medicine Manor definitely wouldn't go.

But now that the Divine Tree is about to awaken and has killed Wang Jianren.

These experts will definitely agree to go to Soft Wind Mountain before August 15th.

By then, they will be able to capture all the experts in Eternal Peace County.

"Magistrate Ma, you will lead this matter!"

Liang Xu said with a smile.

"Don't worry, I will take care of it!"

Ma Yingjie's face once again revealed a smile.

In the next ten days, Qin Feng spent most of his time practicing in the manor.

Under Qin Feng's diligent practice, the proficiency of the Eternal Life Withered Tree Technique and the Azure Cloud Qi Condensation Technique also increased.

[Eternal Life Withered Tree Technique: Great Accomplishment (5305/6000), the withered tree meets spring, longevity increases, qi and blood greatly increase]

[Azure Cloud Qi Condensation Technique, Second Layer: 108/2000, drawing qi into the body, shedding mortal body]

During these ten days, Qin Feng also saw people from the Black Water Cult and they transported two more barrels of blood.

The last time, Qin Feng secretly followed them.

He also used the Eye of Heaven to check the Anomaly Divine Tree.

He found that the time for the Anomaly Divine Tree to awaken has increased to over five months.

"Over five months!"

"We can go and kill the Anomaly Divine Tree on September 15th!"

Qin Feng's heart was filled with determination.

"Tatatata!"

At this moment, a hurried sound of footsteps came.

Qin Feng looked up and saw Xiao Ma running over in a hurry.

"Commander Qin, the master wants you to go to the entrance!"

Xiao Ma reported.

"What happened?"

Qin Feng asked in a low voice.

"The master wants you to accompany her to the county yamen!"

Xiao Ma said.

"Alright, I'll go to the entrance right away!"

Qin Feng nodded slightly and walked towards the entrance with his long knife.

When Qin Feng arrived at the entrance, he saw that Liu Ruyan was already standing in front of a carriage.

"Go to the county yamen!"

Liu Ruyan saw Qin Feng and directly entered the carriage.

"As you command!"

Qin Feng quickly jumped onto the carriage and drove towards the county yamen.

Inside the county yamen.

At this moment, six people had already gathered in the county yamen.

On the right side sat Liang Xu and three middle-aged men.

These three middle-aged men were all the masters of the Eternal Peace County Martial Arts Hall.

Each of them had a strength above the Blood Refining Seventh Grade.

On the left side sat two people.

One was Lin, the head bodyguard, and the other was Chen, the head catcher of the yamen.

Both of them had very high strength as well.

"Miss Liu has arrived!"

With a loud shout, Liu Ruyan and Qin Feng's figures appeared in the hall.

"Hello, Miss Liu!"

"Greetings, Miss Liu!"

When the many martial artists saw Liu Ruyan enter, they greeted her one after another.

Liu Ruyan also greeted the many martial artists before sitting in the first chair on the left.

"Why is Liang Xu here too?"

Qin Feng entered the hall and immediately saw Liang Xu sitting in a chair.

While Qin Feng was lost in thought, a loud shout came.

"Magistrate Ma has arrived!"

With the sound, Ma Yingjie and his attendant walked into the hall.

Seeing Ma Yingjie enter the hall, many martial artists stood up and greeted him.

"Please sit, everyone!"

Ma Yingjie smiled and sat in the main seat.

"Thank you, Magistrate Ma!"

Liang Xu, Lin the head bodyguard, and others all sat down.

After Ma Yingjie sat down, he continued to sit there and drink tea without speaking.

"Magistrate Ma, may I ask why you invited us here?"

Lin the head bodyguard was the first to speak.

"Everyone, I have received some news!"

Ma Yingjie looked at the people below.

"Magistrate Ma, what news have you received?"

Lin the head bodyguard curiously looked at Ma Yingjie.

"In three months, the Anomaly Divine Tree will awaken!"

Ma Yingjie slowly spoke up.

"What?"

"Wake up in three months?"

"How is that possible?"

"But doesn't the Anomaly Divine Tree still need three more years?"

"..."

Lin Zongbiao, Chen Butou, and others stood up one after another.

Their faces were filled with fear.

"This is news brought out by the head of the Wang family with his life. It can't be wrong!"

Ma Yingjie slowly revealed the news of Wang Jianren being killed.

In Ma Yingjie's words, Wang Jianren was killed by the Anomaly Divine Tree.

However, when Wang Jianren was killed, he desperately brought out the news of the Anomaly Divine Tree's resurrection.

"What should we do?"

"If the Anomaly Divine Tree resurrects, it will be the day we die!"

"Magistrate Ma, you must think of a solution quickly!"

"If the Anomaly Divine Tree resurrects, our Eternal Peace County is finished!"

"..."

Lin Zongbiao and many other martial artists were extremely anxious.

Even Liu Ruyan's face showed a look of fear.

Only Qin Feng and Liang Xu's faces remained unchanged.

Liang Xu remained unchanged because he was the Divine Tree Anomaly.

He knew everything about the Divine Tree.

Qin Feng's expression didn't change because he knew that Wang Jianren was not killed by the Divine Tree Anomaly.

For the Divine Tree Anomaly to awaken, it would take at least five months.

And he also understood Ma Yingjie's intentions.

"Everyone, I have come up with an idea!"

Ma Yingjie said this and picked up his teacup, taking a sip of tea.

"Magistrate Ma, please tell us your idea!"

Lin Zongbiao couldn't sit still and was the first to speak up!

"Magistrate Ma, please speak up!"

"It's already this late!"

"If the Anomaly Divine Tree awakens, we will all die!"

"..."

Many martial arts hall masters spoke up.

Ma Yingjie took another sip of tea before slowly saying, "Every year on August 15th, the Anomaly Divine Tree becomes weak by half!"

"Why don't we all go to the inner mountain of Soft Wind Mountain on August 15th!"

"And kill this Anomaly Divine Tree!"

After Ma Yingjie finished speaking, he looked at everyone.

"This..."

"The Anomaly Divine Tree is very powerful!"

"Are we a match for the Anomaly Divine Tree?"

"..."

Many martial arts hall masters hesitated.

"Everyone, this is our only chance!"

"If the Anomaly Divine Tree awakens, we will all die!"

Ma Yingjie revealed the imminent awakening of the Anomaly Divine Tree.

When the others heard Ma Yingjie's words, their faces changed drastically.

Ma Yingjie was right.

Their only chance to survive was on August 15th.

If they didn't kill the Anomaly Divine Tree before August 15th...

Once the Anomaly Divine Tree resurrected...

All of them would be killed by the Anomaly Divine Tree.

"Magistrate Ma, what should we do?"

"We'll follow you!"

"Yes, let's fight against this Anomaly Divine Tree!"

"..."

Lin Zongbiao and others spoke up one after another.

At this moment, they also knew that this year's August 15th was their only chance to survive.

Only on the day when the Divine Tree Anomaly was weak could they kill it.

Only then could they break through the encirclement of the Divine Tree Anomaly.

Only Liu Ruyan sat there, lost in thought.

Ma Yingjie saw the reactions of everyone and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"What does Miss Liu think?"

Ma Yingjie looked at Liu Ruyan, who had not expressed her opinion.

"If we kill the Divine Tree Anomaly!"

"I must have its heart!"

Liu Ruyan remained silent for a while before speaking.

"But!"

Ma Yingjie didn't hesitate and agreed directly.

"Eternal Peace Medicine Manor will participate in this operation!"

Liu Ruyan nodded.

"Good!"

Ma Yingjie's face was filled with joy. He stood up and said, "Bring the wine!"

As Ma Yingjie's words fell, several servants brought wine in front of everyone.

"Here, on behalf of all the people of Eternal Peace County, I toast to all of you!"

Ma Yingjie raised his glass.

Liu Ruyan, Lin Zongbiao, and others also raised their glasses.

After everyone had finished drinking, Lin Zongbiao asked, "Magistrate Ma, how should we kill the Divine Tree Anomaly on August 15th?"

Ma Yingjie didn't speak, but looked cautiously at Liang Xu.

Seeing Liang Xu shake his head, Ma Yingjie spoke, "We still have two and a half months until August 15th!"

"It's too early to make a plan!"

"It might be better to wait until August before discussing how to kill the Divine Tree Anomaly."

Lin Zongbiao immediately stood up and said, "Magistrate Ma's words make sense!"

Many martial artists also stood up to support Magistrate Ma.

Qin Feng glanced at Ma Yingjie, who had a pleased expression on his face, and silently activated the Eye of Heaven skill.

As the skill was activated, a virtual eye appeared in the sky.

Ma Yingjie's information also appeared in Qin Feng's eyes.

[Name: Ma Yingjie]

[Black Python Anomaly: High Rank]

[Strength: Bone Refining Fifth Grade]

[Defense: Strong]

[Weakness: Bear's blood, seven inches]

[Characteristic: Strength will decrease by half every August 10th!]

[Source: Black Water Cult's Chief Protector, cultivated the Black Python Anomaly technique to become an Anomaly!]

[Apply bear's blood to the seven inches to greatly restrict the Black Python Anomaly!]

"August 10th!"

Looking at the attributes of the Black Python Anomaly, Qin Feng silently noted Ma Yingjie's weaknesses.

If he wanted to kill Ma Yingjie, he had to wait until August 10th.

Only when Ma Yingjie's strength was halved.

Would he have a chance to kill Ma Yingjie.

At the same time, Qin Feng also noted the seven inches and bear's blood.

"Who's there?"

Ma Yingjie suddenly shouted, then nervously looked towards the sky.

"Magistrate Ma, what's wrong with you?"

"What happened?"

All the martial artists looked at Ma Yingjie with confusion.

They couldn't understand why Ma Yingjie, who was perfectly fine, suddenly became so nervous.

"It's nothing!"

Ma Yingjie shook his head slightly and said, "Everyone, please go back!"

"We take our leave!"

Everyone left the place one after another.

Qin Feng also followed Liu Ruyan and walked outside.

Liu Ruyan remained silent all the way.

Until they entered the Eternal Peace Medicine Manor, Liu Ruyan asked Qin Feng to accompany her to the main hall.

"Commander Qin, what do you think about this matter?"

Liu Ruyan sat down and asked directly.

"Miss Liu, I think Magistrate Ma is not trustworthy."

Qin Feng suddenly spoke up.

"Oh, why do you think Magistrate Ma is untrustworthy?"

Liu Ruyan asked curiously.

"Magistrate Ma might be a member of the Black Water Cult!"

Qin Feng remained silent for a while before saying.

"Black Water Cult, no wonder!"

Liu Ruyan nodded slightly and remained silent for a long time before saying, "Commander Qin, you may leave for now."

"I take my leave!"

Qin Feng bowed and then left.

Shortly after Qin Feng left, a girl in a wheelchair pushed herself out of the room.

"Aunt, this person has very strong blood and energy!"

"His martial arts must be very high!"

Liu Hanxue spoke up.

"This person's martial arts are indeed impressive!"

Liu Ruyan sighed.

"Aunt, is there something wrong with this person?"

Liu Hanxue asked curiously.

"This person is very lustful!"

"He won't achieve anything significant!"

Liu Ruyan seemed to have a very low opinion of Qin Feng.

Qin Feng was not yet seventeen years old, but he already had two wives in his family.

And it seemed that he also had a mistress outside.

His thoughts were all on his wives and concubines.

He didn't pay much attention to martial arts.

It would be difficult for him to make a breakthrough in the future when his energy and blood were depleted.

"Aunt, isn't it convenient for us to use this person's lustful nature to our advantage?"

Liu Hanxue smiled and said, "As long as we have one beautiful woman, we can make him obedient!"

"This person is very close to Li Ru!"

"Aunt, why not betroth Li Ru to him?"

"This way, our Eternal Peace Medicine Manor will have one more high-level Bone Refining expert!"

"In the future, this person can also kill the Divine Tree Anomaly!"

Liu Ruyan nodded slightly, "This plan is indeed good!"

"Cough, cough, cough."

At this moment, Liu Hanxue suddenly started coughing violently.

"Hanxue, are you okay?"

Liu Ruyan hurriedly ran to Liu Hanxue's side.

"Aunt, I'm fine."

Liu Hanxue's face turned pale.

"Hanxue, don't worry, I will definitely get the heart of that Divine Tree Anomaly for you!"

Liu Ruyan's eyes were determined.

"Aunt, Ma Yingjie has a very strong Anomaly aura. He is probably the Anomaly!"

Liu Hanxue reminded.

Although Liu Hanxue was sitting in a wheelchair and her body was very weak, she practiced a special technique that allowed her to easily sense the aura of Anomalies.

"Don't worry, Hanxue, Aunt will pay attention!"

Liu Ruyan said.

Eternal Peace Medicine Manor.

Inside the Manor of the Commander.

After Qin Feng returned, he began inspecting his martial arts within the manor.

[Iron Shirt Great Accomplishment 1001/1200, copper skin and iron bones, greatly increased defense!]

[Eternal Life Withered Tree Technique: Great Accomplishment (5345/6000), withered tree meets spring, longevity and vitality greatly increased]

[Azure Cloud Qi Condensation Technique Second Layer: 138/2000, guiding qi into the body, shedding mortal limitations]

"There are still two and a half months!"

"It seems unlikely that I can break through Azure Cloud Qi Condensation Technique!"

"But I should be able to break through Eternal Life Withered Tree Technique and Iron Shirt!"

Looking at his attributes,

Qin Feng decided to diligently cultivate Iron Shirt and Eternal Life Withered Tree Technique in the next two months.

As long as he perfected these two techniques, Qin Feng would have a chance to kill the Divine Tree Anomaly.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten days had passed.

During these ten days, Qin Feng had been diligently cultivating.

The proficiency of Iron Shirt gradually accumulated through Qin Feng's unremitting efforts.

"Iron Shirt, finally Perfected!"

Feeling the warm flow within his meridians, Qin Feng couldn't help but smile.

With Iron Shirt Perfected, his defense had greatly increased.

Name: Qin Feng (17 years old)

Lifespan: 812 years

[Entry: Heaven Rewards the Diligent, Teacherless Master, Lifespan Absorption.]

[Spells: None]

[Items: Hidden Shadow Sphere]

[Wives: Hu Qingya, Wei Weiwei, Lin Xue]

[Iron Shirt: Perfected - copper skin and iron bones, indestructible!]

Below Iron Shirt Perfected, there appeared a line of small characters.

[After your many days of cultivation, Iron Shirt has been Perfected!]

[Breakthrough in the face of battle, enlightenment in the heart, you have comprehended a special defensive technique]

[Defense: Attribute One, passive, your defense increases by 30%!]

[Attribute Two, iron skin, after use, defense will triple, duration of three minutes!]

"Let's go back."

Looking at the defensive attributes, Qin Feng was in a very good mood.

Just as Qin Feng walked to the entrance of the manor, he saw Li Ru standing at his door, talking to Hu Qingya and Liang Weiwei.

"Ru-jie, why are you here?"

Qin Feng looked at Li Ru with a puzzled expression.

"Commander Qin, the Lord of the Manor has something to discuss with you!"

Li Ru saw Qin Feng approaching and her face turned red.

"Ru-jie, please go ahead!"

Qin Feng pointed outside and said.

"Okay, okay!"

Li Ru blushed and walked out.

"Weird, what's wrong with Ru-jie?"

Qin Feng looked at the blushing Li Ru, his face full of confusion.

Li Ru was the commander's guard.

Qin Feng and Li Ru often interacted.

But why did Li Ru blush so easily today?

Although Qin Feng was very puzzled, he still followed along.

A few minutes later, Li Ru and Qin Feng arrived in the backyard.

"Weird, why are we coming to the backyard?"

Looking at the backyard, Qin Feng's confusion deepened.

After all, when Liu Ruyan summoned Qin Feng, it was always in the main hall of the manor.

But today, she ran to the backyard.

"Bang!"

At this moment, Li Ru suddenly bumped into Qin Feng.

"Ru-jie, what's wrong with you?"

Looking at Li Ru behind him, Qin Feng became even more puzzled.

"It's, it's nothing."

Li Ru shook her head repeatedly.

"Commander, the Lord is in the courtyard, let's go in!"

With a red face, Li Ru walked towards the inside.

Qin Feng quickly followed behind Li Ru.

Soon, Qin Feng and Li Ru arrived at a pavilion.

At this moment, Liu Ruyan, dressed in white, was sitting in the pavilion playing the zither.

After Li Ru entered, she stood behind Liu Ruyan.

Qin Feng walked into the pavilion and looked at Liu Ruyan in front of him. Her figure was extremely charming.

Moreover, from the side, Liu Ruyan's figure was very good.

When she played the zither, she exuded a special temperament.

If he could marry Liu Ruyan, Qin Feng wondered what kind of entry he would awaken.

After more than ten minutes, Liu Ruyan finally stopped playing the zither.

"Greetings, Lord!"

Qin Feng bowed to Liu Ruyan.

"No need for formalities, please have a seat!"

Liu Ruyan waved her hand.

"Thank you, Lord!"

Qin Feng sat down on the chair opposite.

"Qin Feng, how about I betroth Li Ru to you?"

At this moment, Liu Ruyan suddenly spoke up.

Upon hearing Liu Ruyan's words, Qin Feng was stunned.

To be honest, Qin Feng was completely unprepared.

Li Ru's face turned even redder.
