Martial Arts Crossover: My Wife is the Top Scholar

Chapter 361 The Wang family's daughter has grown up, with the strength to pull mountains and the courage to conquer the world

Everyone has secrets.

Wang Dong is a human being, therefore, Wang Dong has secrets.

This is simply a tale of the martial arts world. It's hard to imagine that Wang Dong, a lazybones whose laziness is beyond description, could harbor such an unspeakable secret.

It was Wang Shenglan who discovered the secret.

As the autumn winds began to blow, Wang Shenglan, feeling bored, asked Li Zhaoting to make her a kite. Li Zhaoting went to Zeng Jing's cloth stall and bought some starched linen cloth, making a kite with auspicious cloud patterns and a picture of fairies descending to earth.

Wang Shenglan flew her kite with great joy. Her kite flew the highest and looked the best. The children in the town cheered around her, making her feel relaxed and happy.

Just as Wang Shenglan was fantasizing about having several smart and adorable children with Li Zhaoting, five large kites rose up around them, completely overshadowing her.

There was a centipede kite, an eagle kite, a poisonous snake kite, a scorpion kite, and a square talisman kite that was a full ten feet long.

Five kites soared high into the sky.

Instead of people, five scarecrows were holding the kite strings, giving it a ghostly feel.

Upon seeing the kite, Wang Dong suddenly stood up and staggered into the house, looking as if he were too ill to stand and might faint at any moment.

Guo Dalu rushed toward the scarecrow without hesitation.

Guo Dalu is a very easygoing person. He doesn't understand intrigue or hold grudges. He acts rashly, even more recklessly than Wang Shenglan. There's nothing he wouldn't dare to do.

"Snapped!"

Wang Shenglan grabbed Guo Dalu.

Since practicing the boxing manual given to him by Li Zhaoting, Guo Dalu's martial arts skills have greatly improved. His messy boxing techniques have gradually found their own system. His internal strength has not increased, but his combat power has increased three or four times, making him a top-notch master in the martial arts world. Even monks and Taoist priests in their seventies or eighties might not be able to defeat him.

Not to mention Guo Dalu's quick eyes and hands; he can accurately catch the swarms of mosquitoes that fly up at dusk, one at a time, with extremely fast speed and steady movements.

Unexpectedly, Wang Shenglan grabbed Guo Dalu's shoulder casually, like an eagle snatching a chick.

Guo Dalu charged forward twice, but was pushed back by Wang Shenglan both times. Thinking of Wang Shenglan's immense strength, Guo Dalu retreated in embarrassment.

He held Guo Dalu down with one hand.

With his other hand, he pressed down on Yan Qi.

Wang Shenglan complained irritably, "Those scarecrows are obviously traps. Are you two idiots? The traps are right in front of you, don't you know how to use ranged attacks?"

How to launch a long-range attack?

Guo Dalu looked at Wang Shenglan with curiosity.

"Look at me!"

Wang Shenglan first found a big tree and had Guo Dalu and Yan Qi hide behind it so that their bodies were not exposed. Then she looked at the puddle by the roadside and measured their body dimensions.

Guo Dalu and Yan Qi watched nervously.

Wang Shenglan bent down, picked up a stone block weighing over 300 jin (approximately 150 kg), threw it at the scarecrow, and dodged into the puddle.

"Boom!"

The scarecrow was smashed into a pile of straw by the stone block, followed by the sound of hidden weapons cutting through the air. Inside the scarecrow were steel knives and flying needles, which were coated with deadly poison.

When the flying needle grazed the grass and trees, they withered and died.

Guo Dalu and Yan Qi watched in horror.

What a terrifying poison!
Wang Shenglan took a wine gourd from his waist; inside was the Wang family's ancestral wine and Shanxi aged vinegar!
A sip of aged vinegar instantly refreshed me.

"Watch out, this is snake venom!"

Wang Shenglan picked up another stone and threw it at another scarecrow, then continued to hide in the puddle.

Five large stones flew out one after another.

The enemy's five meticulously crafted mechanical scarecrows were smashed into piles of straw. Making the mechanisms cost money, as did the steel knives and poison needles. Each scarecrow cost at least 1,500 taels of silver, yet it was destroyed by the stone block.

The person behind the scenes could never have imagined that such a bizarre method of breaking the mechanism existed in the world.

Is this woman a monster?
Could this woman be the reincarnation of the Overlord?
Wang Dong and Yan Qi were equally stunned. They had known that Wang Shenglan possessed astonishing divine power, but they hadn't expected her to be this strong. Was she made of flesh and blood? Was she perhaps a god descended to earth?

Wang Shenglan did not stop. Instead, she took out a wooden box from her pouch containing a magnet. Wearing thick gloves, she shook the magnet to collect all the flying needles that were shot out.

The poison used to quench the needles was extremely potent.

Wang Shenglan was worried about causing accidental injury.

Guo Dalu tried to help, but Wang Shenglan casually tossed him away: "Don't make things worse. There are fine needles everywhere. If you step on the wrong one, a poisoned needle will prick your sole, and all your previous efforts will be wasted!"

"You...you are really Mrs. Li?"

"A lawful and legitimate marriage, no doubt about it!"

"How did you become so...smart!"

Guo Dalu knew that these words were incredibly rude, but if he didn't ask them, he wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.

Wang Shenglan laughed and said, "I'm a bodyguard. If I didn't even have this much experience in the martial world, I would have died a hundred times over! I'm usually carefree because I'm too lazy to use my brain."

"why?"

"Because my husband is too smart, I leave the brain work to him, and I just need to use my fists."

"What you just did was..."

Have you ever stirred up a hornet's nest?

Wang Shenglan's lips curled up slightly.

Stirring up a hornet's nest is a skill!

You must wear a thick raincoat, prepare a small bamboo tube for breathing, and a long pole to poke the hornet's nest down with one stroke. Then, crawl on the ground or hide in the river and wait for the hornets to gradually disperse.

If you're not careful, you'll suffer the consequences.

Stirring up a hornet's nest can be done for the sake of honey or to sell it for money. If you want to enjoy the sweetness, you have to be prepared to risk the bitterness. It really tests your skills.

Wang Shenglan is adept at stirring up trouble.

While the poisonous stinger of the artificial scarecrow is certainly dangerous, it is far less dangerous than the swarms of wasps that blot out the sky in the deep mountains and forests. You can simply find a puddle to hide in.

"What kind of poison? It's incredibly potent!"

Seeing that Guo Dalu was repeatedly thwarted, Yan Qi subtly changed the subject: "Does your sister know how to cure poison?"

Wang Shenglan said, "This is snake venom. I remember there was an article from the Tang Dynasty called 'The Snake Catcher's Tale,' which said that in the wilds of Yongzhou there was a strange snake, black with white markings. It would kill any grass or tree it touched, and if it bit a person, there was no cure..."

"My sister knows so much!"

“When I can’t sleep at night, I like to listen to my husband tell stories. He’s told me several times…”

Wang Shenglan rubbed her chin.

She overheard this story by chance.

It wasn't meant for her, it was meant for Cheng Huaixiu.

Li Zhaoting said that the predestined fate of "The Legend of the White Snake" was that Xu Xian was Xu Xuan, a snake catcher in Yongzhou two hundred years ago, and Bai Suzhen was a snake spirit in Yongzhou. The snake catcher caught snakes to help the national teacher cultivate evil magic. Bai Suzhen was captured by the national teacher. In order to save Bai Suzhen, Xu Xuan made a deal with the fox spirit and, at the cost of courage, became a half-human, half-demon.

Therefore, two hundred years later, when Xu Xian, the reincarnation of Xu Xuan, met Bai Suzhen, he appeared timid and cowardly, but although he was physically weak, his heart remained brave...

Wang Shenglan listened with rapt attention.

Cheng Huaixiu pondered, wondering if Xu Xian, if reincarnated again, would lament his previous life's weakness and inability to protect his wife, and thus dedicate himself to swordsmanship in this life? The White Snake, reincarnated as a human, continued her martial arts training on Mount Qingcheng…

Even the yellow dog was reincarnated.

I'll always be a yellow dog.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

Yuanbao barked a few times, quite intelligently.

There was a note under its claws that read: If you weren't Wang Dong, you would be a scapegoat.

The handwriting was crooked and messy, like a dog crawling.

No wonder Yuanbao found it.

Upon seeing the note, Wang Dong looked up to the sky and sighed, "They've finally found us. They were bound to find us sooner or later!"

Wang Dong didn't look like this three years ago.

He was a playboy who indulged in sensual pleasures, a meddlesome thief, a spendthrift tycoon, and a majestic "King of Eagles Soaring to the Sky".

Even a hero needs three helpers!

The Eagle King has four companions.

The "all-pervasive" red-banded snake;

The "Thousand-Handed, Thousand-Eyed" Centipede God;

The "savior" matchmaker;

"One look and you're gone" is a death warrant; the red-banded snake is skilled in poisons and adept at using snake venom. It has mastered a martial art that makes its body as flexible as a snake. It hides in the soil all day long, and its eyesight has deteriorated.

The centipede is a master of hidden weapons. When it launches or receives hidden weapons, it's as if it has a thousand hands and a thousand eyes. Its entire body is covered in hidden weapons, even its nostrils have them.

Hong Niangzi was alluringly beautiful, in her thirties, like a ripe peach. When the inexperienced Wang Dong met Hong Niangzi, he was completely under her spell. Eight out of the ten things Wang Dong did were instigated by Hong Niangzi.

The Death Talisman is skilled in mechanical arts and adept at crafting ingenious and sinister hidden weapons. It rarely reveals its true form, prefers to use mechanical scarecrows to kill people, and is extremely greedy for money and profit.

Wang Dong left home at the age of seventeen. Under the temptation of Hong Niangzi, he traveled the world with four others. They did all kinds of good and bad things, and gradually felt empty.

Three years ago, Wang Dong felt extremely empty inside and couldn't see a way forward. He had the idea of ​​going home to visit his mother. After returning home, he found that his mother had passed away. Wang Dong fell into extreme despair and gave up on himself.

Poor, dirty, lazy, and down on his luck.

They stay wrapped in their blankets all day without moving, the blankets are covered in greasy grime, and rats crawl all over them.

That night, if Guo Dalu hadn't gone to Fugui Manor to rob the rich and help the poor, he would have starved to death. Guo Dalu's arrival gave Wang Dong the will to live.

Now, the four of them have come knocking on our door.

Those who come are not good, and those who are good don't.

They will absolutely not let this go.

Guo Dalu asked curiously, "Boss Wang, why are they looking for you? Can't they live without you?"

Wang Dong sneered: "I told you! The five of us were notorious bandits back in the day, and we did all sorts of business!"

Yan Qi added: "The spoils were not divided fairly. Even though Boss Wang didn't take a single penny, in their eyes, Boss Wang's food, drink, and toilet expenses were all paid for with their money."

Wang Shenglan said, "Perhaps the wealth they painstakingly accumulated was stolen by some clever little devil, who then framed Wang Dong and instigated you to kill each other."

Guo Dalu said, "Who would do that?"

Wang Shenglan said, "Red Maiden!"

Guo Dalu asked, "Why?"

Wang Shenglan scoffed, "Just guessing!"

Li Zhaoting came to Wang Shenglan's rescue: "Because Hong Niangzi's martial arts skills are the worst, and the other three are not interested in women, Hong Niangzi's charms have lost their effect. If they want to take all the treasure for themselves, they can only use the strategy of using one wolf to devour another, and become the oriole themselves."

"Why can't it be the one with the highest martial arts skills?"

Guo Dalu's face was full of dissatisfaction!
Wang Dong said, "I am the one with the highest martial arts skills!"

Guo Dalu obediently shut up.

Analyzing cases is not his forte.

His forte is cooking in the kitchen.

The enemy is in the shadows, while we are in the light. Rather than constantly weakening ourselves, we should start a fire, cook a meal, and have a good meal.

Unlike the oblivious Guo Dalu and the brooding Wang Dong, Yan Qi is the most perceptive, and she makes a startling discovery: "Li Tingkuan" wasn't lying...

He is very likely Li Zhaoting.

"Innate super strength" is the most common talent, but the term "common" refers to extremely rare talents such as innate sword talent or innate demon talent, which are possessed by renowned martial arts masters who have already undergone countless selections.

Female warriors with innate superhuman strength are extremely rare.

Female镖头 (bodyguards) with superhuman strength are even rarer.

If you take into account her outgoing personality, tall stature, love for sour soup, and fondness for noodles, there's only one like her in the whole world: Wang Shenglan, the chief镖头 (bodyguard) of Shunfeng镖局 (Shunfeng Escort Agency).

"Wen Yuan" refers to Wang Shenglan.

"Li Tingkuan" must be Li Zhaoting.

Li Tingkuan was not lying.

My wife has a great reputation, so to avoid being surrounded by a large entourage and having to drink and socialize, it's best to travel under an assumed name.

Even his seemingly joking statement, "My name is Li Zhaoting," is the truth, the absolute truth.

Yan Qi then thought of Guo Dalu's words.

Guo Dalu saw "Li Tingkuan" lightly flick his fingers three zhang away, and the纨绔 (wan ku, a spoiled young master) who rode his horse into people was smashed into a bloody mist along with his horse, but no civilians were harmed.

The local people felt it was a "divine retribution".

This is very much in line with Li Zhaoting's style of doing things.

Show no mercy to evil spirits and heretics.

We must be extremely cautious when dealing with ordinary people.

All the previous events can be explained.

The Six Doors token is genuine.

Even if it's fake, it must be real!

Six Doors will personally verify that it is genuine!
If Leng Xue recognizes Li Zhaoting, he will definitely give Li Zhaoting face and try to cover things up.

Yan Qi suddenly felt at ease. If this person really was Li Zhaoting, even if he was seriously injured and only had 10% of his fighting strength, he could still send the centipede god and the red snake to the underworld and wipe out all the demons with a single sword.

Yan Qi subconsciously looked at Li Zhaoting, wanting to reveal the secret hidden in her heart, but worried that she had mistaken him for someone else. Yan Qi carried a great secret and could not reveal it casually.

This is the secret of "making up for deficiencies".

Countless people were watching closely, and the Black Stone Wheel King had long since gone mad because of this secret.

Fugui Manor never keeps watch at night.

The warehouse was so empty that even rats would wail in despair; there was nothing worth guarding. But things were different now. Faced with the threat from Red Serpent and his men, everyone had to take turns keeping watch at night.

Wang Dong and Li Zhaoting kept watch for the first half of the night.

Guo Dalu and Yan Qi stayed up late into the night.

Wang Dong lay on the bed, fast asleep.

Li Zhaoting was sweating profusely in his room.

They had absolutely no intention of keeping watch.

The essence of "keeping watch" lies in the second half of the night.

It was about two young men, Guo Dalu and Yan Qi.

……

The living room was dark.

Yan Qi walked into the living room and sat down.

Guo Dalu also entered the living room and sat down.

Starlight streamed through the window, illuminating Yan Qi's face and her bright, large eyes.

Guo Dalu suddenly laughed and said, "Do you know that sometimes your eyes look a lot like a woman's?"

Yan Qi said sternly, "If I'm like a woman, why are you still following me? Are you in heat?"

Guo Dalu said, "If you are really a woman, I will follow you even more. I am a hero and chivalrous man. I have rescued a beauty here. The beauty must repay me with her body."

"Pah! Get lost! Get far away from me!"

Yan Qi rolled her eyes in annoyance.

Guo Dalu is a man who can't sit still.

He pulled Yan Qi to tie up the scarecrow.

The dry vigil was exhausting, so Guo Dalu decided to light the lamp oil and set up the scarecrow. From the outside, you could only see the shadow, making it difficult to discern the real situation.

If someone launches a sneak attack, they will fall into a trap.

Guo Dalu said smugly, "They used a scarecrow to trick me during the day, and now I'm returning the favor. I remember there's a martial arts family that's good at this kind of trick."

Yan Qi sneered: "The Murong clan of Gusu were adept at using the enemy's own methods against them, but they were eventually killed!"

"Who killed him?"

Who wrote your boxing manual?

"Xiao Feng!"

"it's him!"

"why?"

"The Murong clan of Gusu wants to rebel!"

Can I take back what I said?
