Chapter 36 Sword Practice
The next morning.

The Zhu family's patriarch and Old Wu stood in the secret room, their faces looking extremely ugly.

When Zhu Huan's maid came to the room early in the morning, she found the secret door wide open, and Zhu Huan and the snake demon had both been beheaded.

"Who did it?"

The head of the Zhu family gritted his teeth.

He originally had high hopes for Zhu Huan. If the Zhu family wanted to make further progress, they had to train their own Yi Jin warriors.

But now Zhu Huan is dead, and the snake demon that lived with him is dead too.

Old Wu bent down to check the wounds on the snake demon and Zhu Huan.

"He can use both swords and arrows. He should be a bone-forging martial artist, but martial artists with such killing power are rare."

The more Old Wu watched, the more frightened he became. He had never seen such a brutal and powerful sword technique before.

"Investigate, and find the murderer for me."

The head of the Zhu family flicked his sleeves and said something.

Since Zhu Huan is dead, there is no need for him to continue wasting time here.

What he cares more about now is the reputation of the Zhu family. If the murderer is not caught, the Zhu family will never be able to hold their heads up in front of their peers.

Big families are always so ruthless.

The news of Zhu Huan's murder quickly spread throughout Qinghe County.

Of course, the fact that he coexisted with the snake demon was kept secret by the Zhu family.

Bang, bang, bang!
There was a knock on the gate of the Bai family's ancestral home.

"who is that?"

Xiao Qiaoniang was making breakfast with Zheng Sao. She wiped her hands and walked towards the courtyard gate.

Because of Zhu Huan's trouble, Hongqiao Dyeing Factory had to close for three days, so she stayed in the house.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw Chen Liu standing at the door with an anxious look on her face.

"Sister Chen, what happened?"

When Chen Liu saw that it was Xiao Qiaoniang, she pulled her into the yard and did not forget to stick her head out to look around. She only closed the gate after making sure that no one was following them.

Seeing Chen Liushi being so cautious, Xiao Qiaoniang couldn't help but feel curious.

"Sister Chen, what happened?"

Chen Liu held Xiao Qiaoniang's hand.

"You don't know, Zhu Huan died last night!"

"what?!"

Xiao Qiaoniang was shocked when she heard the news.

"What the hell is going on?"

Xiao Qiaoniang looked incredulous.

Chen Liu stared at Xiao Qiaoniang, not wanting to miss any detail on her face.

"Does she really not know?"

Chen Liu murmured in her heart that Xiao Qiaoniang did not look like she was pretending.

Zhu Huan had just caused trouble for Hongqiao Dyeing Workshop yesterday and was killed that night. It is hard not to be suspicious.

"It's really not you who did it?"

Chen Liu couldn't help but ask another question.

at this time--

The door of the east wing in the courtyard was pushed open with a creaky sound. Bai Yuan stretched lazily, yawned, and looked towards the door.

"Sister Chen, why are you here so early?"

Seeing Bai Yuan greeting them enthusiastically, Chen Liu smiled awkwardly, said a few words to Xiao Qiaoniang, and then turned and left.

Xiao Qiaoniang sent Chen Liu away before asking the question.

"Uncle, Zhu Huan is dead. Do you know about this?"

The reason why Chen Liushi didn't notice the flaw just now was because Xiao Qiaoniang really didn't know.

"Yes, I did it."

Bai Yuan said this in a voice that only the two of them could hear, and he did not hide anything.

Xiao Qiaoniang was terrified and pulled Bai Yuan into the room, fearing that Aunt Zheng in the kitchen would hear them.

Before Xiao Qiaoniang could speak, Bai Yuan spoke first.

"Sister-in-law, just pretend that this matter never happened. Leave the rest to me."

With such a big incident happening to the Zhu family, they would not even remember the debt owed by the Hongqiao Dyeing House, and the two thousand taels of debt was considered to be repaid. After Xiao Qiaoniang calmed down, she went to the kitchen to help Aunt Zheng as if nothing had happened.

Bai Yuan was quite surprised at his sister-in-law's strong psychological quality.

He smiled and shook his head. It seemed that he still underestimated his sister-in-law.

He looked at the panel.

[Name: Bai Yuan]

[Occupation: Monster Hunter, Swordsman, Boxer]

[Skills: Tracking (Master), Archery (Proficient), Tiger Crane Style (Beginner), Blood Tiger Knife (Beginner), Five Animals Fist (Proficient)]

[Strength Points: 87]

I gained a total of 87 reinforcement points by killing the snake demon and Zhu Huan last night.

This is much faster than going up the mountain to hunt.

Among them, the snake demon contributed 70 points and Zhu Huan 17 points. It can be seen that the snake demon in its complete form is really strong. If it were not in the molting period, Bai Yuan would not be its opponent at all.

However, slaying demons is like killing people, and it does not follow the ethics of martial arts.

Realistic one-on-one combat is not a turn-based game, so as long as you can kill the opponent, it's a good idea.

Bai Yuan looked at the words Blood Tiger Knife on the panel.

"Give me more!"

[In the eighth year of practicing the Blood Tiger Blade, you continue to feed the blade with your own blood essence, and your sword skills and murderous intent have greatly increased.]

[In the tenth year of practicing the Blood Tiger Knife, you find that you gradually lose control of the knife.]

[You practiced the Blood Tiger Blade so hard that you almost went insane, but luckily you managed to survive.]

[After fifteen years of practicing the Blood Tiger Blade, you finally mastered the Blood Tiger Blade and made some small achievements.]

[Name: Bai Yuan]

[Occupation: Monster Hunter, Swordsman, Boxer]

[Skills: Tracking (Master), Archery (Proficient), Tiger Crane Style (Beginner), Blood Tiger Knife (Proficient), Five Animals Fist (Proficient)]

[Strength Points: 0]

Bai Yuan used up all his strengthening points and barely upgraded the Blood Tiger Blade to the proficient level.

A strong murderous intent surged into his heart and he almost lost his mind. Fortunately, the Tiger-shaped Crane Style dispersed the murderous intent like a stream of clear water.

“That was a close call!”

Bai Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. Even though he possessed the Tiger-Shaped Crane Style, practicing the Blood Tiger Sword was still extremely dangerous.

He just felt sore all over, as if all his strength had been drained away. He could only lie on the ground motionless, and he didn't even have the strength to call for help.

It was not until Xiao Qiaoniang walked into the room carrying a bowl of scallion noodles that she discovered Bai Yuan collapsed on the ground.

"Uncle, what's wrong with you?"

Xiao Qiaoniang hurriedly squatted down and helped Bai Yuan up.

Bai Yuan used all his strength to speak in Xiao Qiaoniang's ear.

"Medicinal bath."

Xiao Qiaoniang immediately understood Bai Yuan's intention.

She asked Aunt Zheng to boil a few pots of hot water, and then followed Bai Yuan's example to get the body-building medicine and put it into a large wooden barrel.

Bai Yuan was now too weak to undress on his own.

In the end, Xiao Qiaoniang had no choice but to take off Bai Yuan's clothes layer by layer with a blushing face until he was completely naked.

Bai Yuan lay in a large wooden barrel. The medicinal power of the herbs penetrated his skin and he finally regained a little strength.

He began to understand why the heroes and heroines in the novels of his previous life always had to take off their clothes when practicing martial arts.

It turned out to be a medicinal bath.

The ancients were truly honest!

The effect of the medicine continued to nourish Bai Yuan's body, and half an hour later, he finally became full of energy again.

After drying himself and putting on his clothes, he ate eighteen bowls of noodles in one go, and the hunger in his stomach completely disappeared.

Aunt Zheng had never seen such a scene before and was so shocked that her eyes almost popped out.

Her two half-grown boys are big eaters, but compared to Bai Yuan, they are nothing.

Xiao Qiaoniang looked at Bai Yuan who was eating noodles with big mouthfuls.

The solid chest and bronze skin, the image just now always lingered in her mind.

"Sister-in-law, why is your face red?"
