I am getting stronger and stronger in the world of demons and monsters

Chapter 8: Miraculous Destiny: The Needle on the Wasp’s Tail

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

On this day, when it was almost noon, Lin Xuankong practiced Cangsong Zhuang and Linghe Finger, drank the medicinal soup brought by Li Xiaolan, and sat by the bed silently working on his mental skills.

Over the past few days, his cang pine pile movements have become extremely standard, with a vague and vigorous momentum. Although they are not as pleasing to the eye as the little lady's movements, the effect of tempering the muscles and skin is getting better and better. Stronger!

As for Linghe Zhi, he is already quite familiar with his routines.
  Compared with the little lady's Crane Finger movement, the difference is no longer that of raw pork with hair and braised lion's head, but about medium-rare pork and braised lion's head!

Half an hour later,
  After finishing practicing, Lin Xuankong opened his eyes and looked at the empty medicine bowl on the table.
  The medicinal soup prepared by my little lady is so magical. The effect of this medicinal soup on nourishing qi and blood is more than ten times stronger than the medicinal soup I drank before my transformation!
  He looked at the energy and blood displayed in the life chart: [Mortal energy and blood: 210/100000]
  Normally, if I practice physical exercise that consumes energy and blood every day, I should consume a lot of energy and blood.

But after these ten days of practice, every time I take the medicinal soup, I can replenish a lot of qi and blood. Not only will the consumed qi and blood be quickly replenished, but after daily practice, there is still some left, so that now I have enough. 210 points!
  in addition,

Normally, the flesh and blood of my body should only be able to hold thirty or forty points of Qi and blood. With my destiny of being "old and strong", I actually have the ability to store excess Qi and blood. It is really amazing. !
  Of course, being able to save so much energy and blood was all thanks to the young lady’s medicinal soup.
  If not, let alone saving energy and blood, I might not even be able to practice one round of Pine Stake every day!
  I just don’t know how to prepare this medicinal soup and what is the value of the medicinal materials?
  As an old husband, I didn't bring much good changes to the little lady's life, but he took the little lady's medicinal soup every day. However, as a family, there should be no need to speak the same language!
  Just when the thought of being a soft-boiled old man came to mind, there was a sudden knock on the door outside.

"clap clap"

"Is Xiaolan at home?" A gentle and kind woman's voice sounded.

Lin Xuankong was a little surprised. Since the young lady got married, except for going out to grab medicine and buy handkerchiefs and silk threads, she has hardly interacted with the young wives and sisters-in-law in the street. Why would anyone come to see her specifically?

Footsteps sounded from the stairs, and soon they reached the door, and Li Xiaolan's clear voice came, "Aunt Wang, why are you free to come to my house today?"

Aunt Wang, Po Wang?
  Lin Xuankong's eyes moved slightly. The young lady would embroider some flower handkerchiefs every day and send them to Mrs. Wang in the clothing store to sell them.

This Wang Po's martial arts cultivation is not particularly high, and she is said to be at the first level of metamorphosis, but she is a well-rounded person and has some business skills. She has opened eight ready-made clothing shops, one of which is in the inner city.

All in all, this Wang Po can be regarded as a famous person. I am afraid that more than half of the people in Dazefu City know about her Wang Ji Clothing Shop!

"Of course it's a good thing! Here, these are the candied dates from Guhefang. I bought a few kilograms when I passed by Guhefang. I will give you two kilograms to satisfy your craving!" Mrs. Wang said with a smile in her voice.

Li Xiaolan welcomed Mrs. Wang into the outside room and said, "Why are you so polite, Mrs. Wang? You sit down first and I'll get you a glass of water."

Mrs. Wang looked around, "Isn't Brother Lin at home?"

Li Xiaolan replied: "He was a little tired and went to sleep in the house!"

Mrs. Wang nodded, "My dear lady, I came here this time to ask you something! In the past few days, several customers have come to the shop to ask about embroidered handkerchiefs, but you haven't sent any more handkerchiefs in the past few days!
  Those few guests were all wealthy people, so they spotted the embroidered flower handkerchiefs and said they wanted to order some, just one tael of silver each! It was also my fault for being greedy, but I agreed! "

Li Xiaolan originally had other plans on how to make money.
  Hearing what Wang Po said, I felt a little hesitant. One tael of silver and one handkerchief. I can embroider several pieces in a day!
  Wang Po continued: "Those are a few wealthy and wealthy patrons. If the young lady embroiders fifty strips, it will be fifty taels!"

She sighed, "It's a pity that my eyesight is dazzled now. When I was young, the flower handkerchiefs I embroidered were also famous in Daze Prefecture! Of course, they are definitely not as good as the little lady's embroidery skills that can attract butterflies or embroider grass with dew. !”

Inside, Lin Xuankong, who was listening to the two people talking, was a little surprised. A handkerchief cost nearly one tael? Is my little lady’s craftsmanship so good? I'm afraid it would take ordinary people a month to earn one tael of silver. Those rich and powerful women in Daze Mansion really don't treat money as money!
  He touched his waist and pulled out a handkerchief that the lady gave him a few days ago. He used this handkerchief to blow his nose and so on. He had been using it for many days.
  Because it is cleaned every day, some of the color has faded, but you can still see the peonies embroidered on it clearly. The peony stitching is beautiful and expressive.
  At this moment, Li Xiaolan outside had agreed to help Wang Po embroider handkerchiefs, and the two started chatting.

"Oh, my lady is such a diligent person. Although this room is a bit old, it is very neat and tidy! The table is also polished so brightly that if a fly falls, an old man will crawl into bed!" Wang Po said with a smile.

Li Xiaolan felt a little embarrassed when she praised her so much.

Wang Po continued: "It's a pity that those people in the Huang family are so ignorant that they kicked the young lady out and forced her to marry a poor old man who was half dead. Even a poor old man like that is sixty years old. I’m afraid I won’t even look down on the widow. Oh, look at my mouth!”

Li Xiaolan was planning to pour her a glass of water, but when she heard what she said, she frowned and put the kettle aside.

Wang Po lightly slapped herself in the mouth and whispered: "It's all my fault. I won't open any pot! Don't worry, little lady, I know how to read faces. My face is very human, and things will definitely turn out well in the future. , I met my beloved!"

After saying that, she secretly glanced at Li Xiaolan, stood up and said, "Okay, I should go back too! Please remember to help me embroider those handkerchiefs as soon as possible. It's best to send a few over every day!" Wait until Mrs. Wang leaves. , Li Xiaolan frowned and went upstairs. Lin Xuankong inside also frowned.
  It's okay for this old woman to come over to do business, but this old guy's mouth is too poisonous. This is like a wasp's tail!
  What does it mean to be half-buried, even a sixty-year-old widow would look down upon it?

What does it mean to have good fortune and meet your beloved?
  Why don't you protect the matchmaker in front of me?

If the old guy hadn't walked so fast, I would have given her a few slaps!
  Walking outside, Lin Xuankong frowned and looked towards the second floor. He didn't know what his little lady was thinking in her mind at this moment.
  "Bah bang!" There was a knock on the door.

Lin Xuankong's face darkened and he walked quickly towards the wooden door.
  Is that old guy back? Just teach her a lesson!
  When he opened the door, it was Xiaohu, the son of neighbor Li Dahu’s family.
  Lin Xuankong's expression softened slightly and he let Xiao Hu in. "The little greedy cat came early. I haven't had time to cook today!"

Xiaohu chuckled and scratched his head. He closed the wooden door and sat down at the table. "Uncle Lin, you underestimate me, Xiaohu. Am I the one who eats the food? I call it sharing the blessings!"

He looked upstairs and whispered: "Uncle Lin, why did the old woman come here just now? What did she come for?"

Lin Xuankong's face darkened slightly when he saw him mentioning Mrs. Wang, "That old woman, come here and ask your aunt to embroider some handkerchiefs!"

Xiaohu was stunned and whispered: "Uncle Lin, it's better not to let little aunts go to Wangji's clothing store in the future. That Wang'an is not a good person! On the surface, she runs a clothing store and occasionally does charity. In fact, she secretly He’s done a lot of bad things!”

Lin Xuankong was a little surprised, "I don't think she is a good person, but you said she has done a lot of evil things."

Xiaohu said: "A few beggars I know told me a few days ago that the young ladies who often work for Wangji's clothing store have either disappeared, been sent to brothels, goulan, or their families have been destroyed! Although They didn't see Mrs. Wang doing it with their own eyes, but it couldn't have been such a coincidence, something happened to the little ladies who worked for her family!"

Lin Xuankong thought to himself that his little lady's strength was unfathomable, and he was not afraid of Mrs. Wang's attack on her, but it was easy to dodge open fire and hidden arrows. Moreover, if the Mrs. Wang kept talking bad things about himself in the ears of the little lady all day long, he would also So disgusting.

I just don’t know what my little lady is thinking?

Rubbing Xiaohu's messy hair, Lin Xuankong said: "Okay, I understand!"

After Xiaohu left, Lin Xuankong was sitting at the table, thinking about how to tell his wife, when Li Xiaolan's crisp voice suddenly sounded next to him, "What are you thinking about? I'm a little hungry!"

Lin Xuankong turned to look at Li Xiaolan, "You should have heard what Xiaohu said about the Queen Mother. Xiaohu has known me for more than ten years, and he will definitely not trick me!"

Li Xiaolan frowned, "Even if it hadn't been for what Xiaohu said, I wouldn't have planned to embroider handkerchiefs for her! Humph, I, Li Xiaolan's husband-in-law, how can I allow others to slander me!"

Lin Xuankong felt a little sweet in his heart when he heard what she said.
  When he looked at Li Xiaolan again, he felt that the more he looked at her, the more he liked her. Such a lovely lady must be fat and white!
  He smiled and said: "Okay, it's settled! I'll cook for my wife right away!"

Hearing that sweet voice, Li Xiaolan's cheeks turned slightly red. She lowered her head and remained silent. After a moment, she snorted again, "Don't hit the snake and follow the stick! I can call you husband-in-law, but there are no outsiders present." At that time, you can’t just call me ma’am!”

Lin Xuankong:
  The little lady is still so thin-skinned! I will definitely be a person in bed from now on, why should I be so outspoken?
  He was about to turn around and go to the kitchen.

But Li Xiaolan stopped him again, "Come and sit down first, I have something important to tell you!"

Lin Xuankong frowned and said with a dissatisfied look on his face: "Nothing in this world is more important than my little lady eating!"

Seeing his serious nonsense, Li Xiaolan couldn't help laughing, "There is really something important."

After saying that, he took out a walnut-sized bead that flashed faint light from the brocade pouch at his waist, "Have you ever seen this kind of bead?"

Lin Xuankong was a little surprised, so he looked at the bead intently.

But suddenly I felt an inexplicable chill rushing into my heart, and the hairs all over my body stood up spontaneously, as if I was being stared at by some powerful and evil monster!
  How could this little bead make me feel this way?
