My Wife Is The Big Boss

Chapter 11: Searching for the Werewolf

When Tang Ning'er left, it was already dusk, and there was still a faint blush on her face that hadn't faded.

Now, as she recalled the words she had said to Fang Leng earlier, she couldn't help but feel embarrassed and annoyed.

She was annoyed at herself for what she had said, which must have made Fang Leng laugh. The mention of being his wife still made her feel shy!

Lost in her thoughts, Tang Ning'er accidentally bumped into the person in front of her.

"Sorry!"

Tang Ning'er looked up and saw a woman standing in front of her, wearing extremely revealing leather armor. Looking at her chest...

Tang Ning'er silently formed a negative impression in her mind.

What a shameless woman, dressed so provocatively! It's not like she envies her or anything!

This person was Han Yan. When she saw Tang Ning'er, she casually asked, "Excuse me, do you know who this kitchen knife belongs to?"

As she spoke, Han Yan took out the kitchen knife. Tang Ning'er took a look and her face immediately changed.

Wasn't this the kitchen knife from Fang Leng's house?

She often used it, and even if there were bloodstains on it, she would recognize it. There were familiar scratches on the handle!

But how did this woman end up with this kitchen knife? And there's blood on it, could it be harmful to Fang Leng?

Thinking of this, Tang Ning'er answered, "The kitchen knives used by the villagers are all made by Uncle Zhou and they all look the same. How can you tell whose it is?"

Her answer didn't deceive Han Yan's eyes, because she saw Tang Ning'er's subconscious reaction to the kitchen knife, and now her denial only confirmed that she knew something.

But Han Yan didn't pursue it further, she just said, "Then I'll go ask Uncle Zhou."

"Hey, do you have a purpose for finding the owner of this kitchen knife?"

Tang Ning'er's words, combined with her previous reaction, revealed everything to Han Yan. She knew whose kitchen knife it was, but she didn't say.

Is there a hidden secret in all of this?

Han Yan felt that there must be an important hidden thread here. Things were starting to get interesting, and she needed to outwit the NPC.

After thinking for a moment, Han Yan said, "This kitchen knife was found outside the village, with bloodstains on it. I suspect there might be a hidden secret in it."

As she said this, she stared sharply at Tang Ning'er, who avoided her probing gaze and said, "Then take your time to find out!"

After speaking, she went home.

But as she walked, she could still feel the burning gaze behind her.

And Tang Ning'er was also thinking about one thing: why did Fang Leng take the kitchen knife outside the village?

No, it might not be him. Maybe it was the village chief?

No, that's not possible. The village chief is already very old, it can't be.

Could it be a thief who stole the kitchen knife?

Tang Ning'er had many wild thoughts, even though she knew the answer was probably that Fang Leng took the kitchen knife outside. But she didn't want to accept that and preferred to come up with more absurd reasons.

On the other hand, Han Yan, who was asking around with the kitchen knife, finally found someone who knew something.

He is the elder of the village.

The elder presides over the village's sacrificial activities and holds a higher position than the village chief. He is a respected and virtuous old man.

When he saw the kitchen knife brought by Han Yan and heard the whole story, his face immediately became serious as he said, "The killer who killed those rabbits might be trying to suck blood. Have you heard of the legend of the vampire werewolf?"

Upon hearing this, Han Yan's heart stirred. This should trigger a plot quest, right?

Only the words spoken by this NPC are different.

There is a hidden secret behind this kitchen knife, perhaps it is a main plot quest in the newbie village.

She replied, "I haven't heard of it."

Now is the time for the plot NPC to tell a story.

Sure enough, Elder Fang, with his old voice, began to tell a story.

"Many years ago, Fang Family Village was a peaceful and harmonious place until one day, a villager was found dead in his home, with all his blood drained. From that day on, someone would die in the village every night. At that time, I had to sacrifice ten years of my life to perform divination and found out that the killer was hiding in the village."

Elder Fang spoke with a hint of sadness, saying, "They disguised themselves as villagers, but every night, they would transform into werewolves and brutally kill the villagers. At that time, the people in the village fought desperately and killed two of the werewolves, but one of them managed to escape. Wolves hold grudges, and I believe he will seek revenge on the village. Now, he must have returned, but I no longer have the ability to perform divination again."

As Elder Fang spoke, he looked at Han Yan with anticipation and said, "I hope you can help me protect the peace and tranquility of the village."

[Elder Fang has issued a quest to you: Find the werewolf in the village. Will you accept?]

Han Yan naturally accepted with joy. After all the trouble, her efforts were not in vain.

Elder Fang took out an arrow and handed it to Han Yan, saying, "This is the Evil-Slaying Arrow, only the soldiers guarding the border have it. This is also the last Evil-Slaying Arrow in the village. As long as you hit the werewolf's heart, you can kill it. Otherwise, with the current strength of the village, no one can kill the werewolf king."

Han Yan solemnly accepted the Evil-Slaying Arrow. Coincidentally, she was a hunter and used a crossbow.

Elder Fang added, "Werewolves can disguise themselves as villagers, but they can't hide their true form on the night of the full moon. I can no longer use divination to find him. I will teach you the Stealth skill. Observe secretly and judge for yourself who the werewolf is. The Evil-Slaying Arrow only has one chance, so please find the werewolf as soon as possible to prevent him from harming more villagers!"

"Okay!"

Han Yan accepted the quest, and now she already had a suspected target.

That person was Tang Ning'er!

She was the strangest person Han Yan had seen in the village, and seeing her panic at the sight of the kitchen knife was also a clue.

Moreover, she was a beautiful and charming girl, which would greatly reduce the villagers' vigilance.

Therefore, there was a great possibility that Tang Ning'er was the werewolf.

However, the Evil-Slaying Arrow only had one chance, and this quest was important. It might have traps, so Han Yan didn't rush to take action. She decided to observe first.

Now, it was getting dark, the perfect time to investigate.

The quest was not yet completed, but she had already gained enough rewards.

[Stealth: Can be used when not in combat, perfectly blend into the environment, increase movement speed, reduce presence. Has invisibility effect in dark environments.]

The biggest advantage of Stealth was that it had no duration, didn't consume Spiritual Force or True Qi, and could be maintained indefinitely. It could even provide invisibility in the dark. It was truly an amazing skill!

With only this one reward, this quest was already profitable. If she could find the werewolf, who knows how rich the rewards would be.

She was now ready to find Tang Ning'er...
