Becoming An Immortal Begins With Marrying A Wife

Chapter 60: Being Noticed (15)

Lightsaber!

The master-level Goldfinger could actually solidify golden light into a lightsaber!

Chen An was excited as he looked at the solid golden pillar that had formed from his fingertip.

Not long ago, he had thought about saving money to buy a weapon for self-defense.

But now, there was no need.

The master-level Goldfinger was his personal weapon!

Chen An tried to calm himself as much as possible and reached out to touch the pillar of light, feeling a warm sensation.

He pressed down with force, wanting to see the material, but it went straight through.

Huh?

It went through?

It's just a pillar of light, not a lightsaber?

Can it only be used as a flashlight?

Chen An was stunned.

After a moment, he realized that it shouldn't be like this.

So he walked to a stone and waved the pillar of light over it.

He didn't feel any resistance as the pillar passed through, but the stone on the ground was split in half!

Cutting iron like mud!

No!

It's cutting iron like cutting through air!

Looking at the stone on the ground that had been neatly split in half, Chen An became excited once again.

This master-level Goldfinger was too powerful!

As long as he could get close to an enemy, he could kill them with one strike!

In the following time, Chen An wandered back and forth between the front and back yards, testing the power of the pillar of light on various hard objects.

Whether it was stone or iron, the pillar of light effortlessly cut them in half as if cutting through air.

"All residents of Green Willow Lane, pay attention to me!"

"Next, I will read out the list of residents who owe rent this month!"

"Those who are mentioned, come forward and register with me in the logistics department!"

"Otherwise, you will be executed on the spot!"

Suddenly, a loud shout came from the alley outside the courtyard.

The voice sounded familiar.

It was a steward from the Bamboo Leaf Gang's law enforcement hall.

His surname was Tang.

He had reached the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Upon hearing this shout, Chen An immediately put away the lightsaber on his fingertips and walked out.

Although he didn't owe any rent, he still needed to go outside to see the current situation in Green Willow Lane.

To see who owed rent and would be taken to the battlefield.

In case these fellow cultivators died in battle and they had young and beautiful daughters who had no one to take care of them, Chen An felt obligated to take care of them.

Outside the courtyard, Chen An saw many residents who owed rent gathering in groups of two or three.

There were more of them than he had imagined.

At least twenty people, to start with.

Almost all of them were male cultivators.

There was only one female cultivator who was extremely ugly.

The beautiful ones who couldn't afford the rent had mostly found someone to rely on, so they wouldn't owe rent and be taken to the scene.

The rest were the ones who were ugly and unwanted.

Huh?

Chen An suddenly saw an unexpected scene.

He saw Morley Fang, who had recently been pestering him and wanting to serve him, being embraced by the Bamboo Leaf Gang's Tang steward, who was taking advantage of her in various ways.

She had found a rich man to rely on.

Chen An couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that he would no longer be entangled by this treacherous woman and finally have some peace and quiet.

"Tang steward, please, give me a little more time. Just two more days, and I will be able to gather enough rent for this month!"

A male cultivator at the seventh level of Qi Refining, who didn't want to go to the life-threatening battlefield, knelt in front of the Tang steward, begging humbly, regardless of his dignity.

However, Tang Zhi Shi remained unmoved, looking down on the male cultivator and said coldly:

"It's useless to beg me. Since you can't pay the rent on time, go to the battlefield and earn a rent exemption certificate yourself."

"Tang Zhi Shi, you must have a solution, you must have a solution!"

The male cultivator persisted, continuing to plead: "I have a wife who just got married less than half a year ago and hasn't had a child yet. If you don't mind, I can give her to you as a gift, Tang Zhi Shi!"

This Tang Zhi Shi was notorious in Bamboo Leaf Forest for his lustful nature.

He had no interest in money, only in women.

And specifically, married women.

As expected!

When Tang Zhi Shi heard the male cultivator's words, he immediately became interested and asked: "I wonder how your wife looks?"

"She is as beautiful as a flower!"

"Absolutely beautiful!"

The male cultivator saw a chance and immediately got up and ran back to his house, pulling out a woman from inside.

In her early twenties, with exceptional looks and figure, she was a beautiful lower-level female cultivator.

Tang Zhi Shi looked her up and down, feeling very satisfied with this lower-level female cultivator, and said to the male cultivator: "Not bad, I'll give you three more days of grace this month. If you still can't pay the rent after three days, don't blame me for being impolite."

"Thank you, Tang Zhi Shi, thank you!"

"Husband, I, I don't want to..."

"...smack!"

A loud slap resounded.

The male cultivator slapped the female cultivator in the face and cursed, "Damn it, who do you think you are to say you don't want to? You're just a refugee I picked up from the cheap district, it's not your place to have any say!"

The female cultivator was stunned by the slap, trembling and dare not speak.

With only Qi Refining cultivation at the first level, she was not even considered a person in the eyes of the surrounding Qi Refining late-stage experts.

"Go over there!"

Seeing that the female cultivator was still standing still, the male cultivator, as her husband, immediately pushed her towards Tang Zhi Shi.

Tang Zhi Shi laughed heartily, reached out and embraced the young and beautiful married woman, and then openly kissed her face in front of everyone.

The female cultivator dared not move, she could only close her eyes and endure Tang Zhi Shi's harassment.

On the other side, Mo Li Fang, who was in Tang Zhi Shi's arms, also flashed a fleeting disgust in her eyes when she saw this scene. She felt a bit nauseous towards Tang Zhi Shi, a man who treated women as objects, if it weren't for survival, she would never have gotten involved with such a man.

Whether it was the closed-eyed endurance of the female cultivator or the disgust in Mo Li Fang's eyes, Chen An, who was standing in front of the courtyard gate, saw it all.

He was not surprised by the reactions of these two women.

Because he had long heard about the character of Tang Zhi Shi.

First: He liked married women.

During the war between Bamboo Leaf Gang and Black Iron Mountain Villa, he had forced many residents in the core area who couldn't pay the rent to hand over their wives and concubines.

If he really took a liking to the wife or concubine of a resident who could afford the rent, he would often find ways to set traps and force the resident to give up his wife or concubine.

Second: He often abused his own wives and concubines.

Although it was only physical pain and wouldn't endanger their lives, it crushed their dignity underfoot.

Third: He treated his wives and concubines as objects.

Whenever a friend came to visit, he would generously arrange for his wives and concubines to entertain them in the guest rooms.

Because of these three points, Tang Zhi Shi had a notorious reputation in the entire core area.

No matter which alley's residents, as soon as they saw Tang Zhi Shi coming, they would immediately hide their wives and concubines, so as not to be targeted by him.

Chen An was no exception.

Every time he saw Tang Zhi Shi coming, he would ask his wives and concubines to stay inside the house, not even allowing them to come out to the courtyard.

Soon, all the residents who couldn't pay the rent had gathered.

Tang Zhi Shi began to call the roll.

After confirming the number of people, he didn't stay any longer and directly took this group of lifeless residents with him to the logistics department for registration.

Mo Li Fang in his arms, as well as the female cultivator who had just been abandoned by her husband, followed along.

During this time, when they passed by Chen An's house, Mo Li Fang saw Chen An standing in front of the courtyard gate and noticed that Chen An was looking in their direction.

In that moment of eye contact with Chen An, she couldn't help but feel a sense of humiliation, thinking that Chen An must be mocking her and looking down on her.

So she tiptoed and whispered something in Tang Zhi Shi's ear.

Tang Zhi Shi's eyes lit up instantly and he immediately turned to look in Chen An's direction.

But at this moment, Chen An had already turned back into the house and didn't see this scene.
