Traveling Between Two Worlds: From Bread for Maids to Fantasy Overlord

Outside the gates of Qin Family Fortress, the atmosphere was extremely tense, as if the air itself had frozen. Two Black Stone Sect cultivators, dressed in gray robes and carrying long swords, stood proudly at the front, their faces full of arrogance and disdain. When they glanced at the Qin Family Fortress guards, it was as if they were looking at ants.

The leading cultivator had a sinister expression, with triangular eyes that revealed a ruthless intent. He was an outer sect deacon of the Black Stone Sect, possessing the cultivation of the third level of the Qi Refining stage, enough to act arrogantly and domineeringly in front of mortals. Behind him followed more than a dozen Black Stone Sect disciples, each wielding a weapon, their imposing aura surrounding the gates of Qin Family Fortress.

Qin Cang, accompanied by Qin Hu and the Qin family guards, stood guard inside the city gate, his face grave and his palms sweating. Facing the cultivators, he dared not even breathe loudly, and could only feign composure, saying, "Please calm down, two Daoist masters. Mr. Huang is on his way; please wait a moment."

The triangular-eyed cultivator snorted coldly, his tone arrogant: "Wait? We've been waiting for days! Your Qin Family Fort dares to delay again and again, clearly showing you don't take the Black Stone Sect seriously! I advise you to obediently hand over that Huang Yiming and all the rare treasures he possesses, otherwise, don't blame us for razing your little Qin Family Fort to the ground!"

"You!" Qin Hu, honest and straightforward by nature, was enraged upon hearing this. He drew his sword and was about to charge forward, but Qin Cang held him back tightly. Qin Cang shook his head at him, signaling him not to act rashly—a Qi Refining stage cultivator could wipe them out with a single spell.

Just then, the crowd parted to make way, and Huang Yiming walked slowly, holding Yang Xiu's hand, with Qin Yuling following closely behind. Huang Yiming was dressed in white, with a tall and straight posture and a calm expression. He exuded a cold and aloof aura. Although he was just a mortal, he was not afraid of the cultivators in front of him at all.

Yang Xiu held his hand tightly, her heart filled with fear, yet she still stood tall beside him. Qin Yuling stood to one side, sword in hand, her eyes coldly fixed on the Black Stone Sect cultivator, ready to intervene at any moment.

The triangular-eyed cultivator sized Huang Yiming up and down. Seeing that he was dressed plainly and had a cold demeanor without any spiritual energy fluctuations, he concluded that Huang Yiming was just an ordinary mortal. The cultivator immediately sneered, "You're Huang Yiming? A mere mortal dares to hoard our Black Stone Sect's treasures? You're truly courting death!"

Huang Yiming looked up at him, his eyes cold and his tone indifferent: "I have never seen any of the Black Stone Sect's treasures. It is you who have trespassed into Qin Family Fortress, acting arrogantly and unreasonably. Do you really think no one can deal with you?"

"Insolence!" The triangular-eyed cultivator roared in fury, his spiritual energy surging, and a powerful pressure swept over them, forcing the Qin family guards to retreat, their faces pale. "How dare a mortal be disrespectful to a cultivator? You're courting death!"

Qin Cang hurriedly stepped forward to plead for mercy: "Daoist Master, please calm down. Mr. Huang is young and ignorant. Please forgive him!" He was afraid that the cultivator would take action and destroy Qin Family Fortress.

Huang Yiming pushed Qin Cang aside, facing the pressure of the cultivator head-on without any fear. A cold smile appeared on his lips: "So what if you're a cultivator? In front of me, you still have to behave properly." He appeared calm, but he was already prepared. His right hand secretly reached for the pistol at his waist, ready to strike at any moment.

[Ding! The system detected that the host is facing the pressure of a cultivator, triggering a stress buff that increases courage by 50%. It's time to show off, don't be a coward!] The system's voice rang out, and Huang Yiming felt even more confident.

Enraged by Huang Yiming's attitude, the triangular-eyed cultivator's face turned ashen. He shouted, "You sharp-tongued mortal! Since you refuse to hand over the treasure, I will personally capture you and search your entire body!" With that, he raised his hand and sent a pale blue wind blade hurtling toward Huang Yiming at great speed, accompanied by a sharp whooshing sound.

"Young master, be careful!" Yang Xiu exclaimed, trying to rush forward to shield Huang Yiming, but he pulled her behind him.

Qin Yuling's expression changed drastically. She drew her sword and was about to step forward, but it was too late. Everyone thought Huang Yiming was doomed, and Qin Cang even closed his eyes, unable to bear to look.

At this critical moment, Huang Yiming's eyes sharpened, and his right hand swiftly drew the pistol from his waist, pulling the trigger without hesitation. "Bang!" A deafening explosion rang out, and the bullet whistled out, striking the wind blade precisely.

With a snap, the wind blade shattered, the bullet continuing its trajectory, grazing the triangular-eyed cultivator's cheek and striking the stone wall behind him, sending debris flying. The triangular-eyed cultivator felt a sharp pain in his cheek, raised his hand to touch it, and found it covered in blood. He turned deathly pale with fright, trembling uncontrollably. A deathly silence fell over the entire area. Everyone stared wide-eyed in shock at the pistol in Huang Yiming's hand, unable to believe that a mortal could use such a strange treasure to shatter a cultivator's magic and even injure him!

The triangular-eyed cultivator stared at the pistol in Huang Yiming's hand, his eyes filled with fear and disbelief, his voice trembling: "What... what kind of treasure is this?!"

Huang Yiming stood holding his gun, the muzzle pointed at the triangular-eyed cultivator. His eyes were icy, and his tone carried an undeniable air of dominance: "This is a celestial weapon, specially designed to slay arrogant fools. If you dare to be presumptuous again, next time the bullet won't just graz your face."

The triangular-eyed cultivator's legs went weak, and he nearly collapsed to the ground. Staring at the black muzzle of the gun, he was filled with terror, all his previous arrogance gone. The Black Stone Sect disciples behind him were also deathly pale, too afraid to step forward.

Huang Yiming stared coldly at him, awaiting his reaction. The triangular-eyed cultivator gritted his teeth, but dared not make another move. He uttered a harsh threat: "You wait, I will return to the sect and report to the sect leader. He will definitely not let you go!" After saying that, he led his disciples and fled in a sorry state.

Watching the fleeing figures of the Black Stone Sect cultivators, Huang Yiming slowly holstered his pistol, his aura still powerful. Qin Cang, Qin Hu, Qin Yuling, and the Qin family guards all gathered around, their eyes filled with admiration and awe as they looked at Huang Yiming.

[Ding! Successfully showed off! The Black Stone Sect cultivators were intimidated, Qin Family Fortress's trust level is full, mission complete! Reward: Spirit Root Activation Fragment x1, Storage Space Expansion Completed]

Huang Yiming was overjoyed, but he remained aloof and said calmly, "A bunch of clowns, nothing to fear." As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes narrowed—the Black Stone Sect Master would definitely come to retaliate, and an even greater crisis was about to descend.

Qin Cang strode forward, bowed deeply to Huang Yiming, and said in a choked voice, "Mr. Huang's great kindness will never be forgotten by the Qin family! From now on, you will be an honored guest of Qin Family Fortress, and no one will dare to disobey your orders!" The surrounding guards knelt down in unison and shouted "Mr. Huang is mighty!" The sound was deafening.

Yang Xiu threw herself into Huang Yiming's arms, her eyes reddening with pride: "Young Master is the best!" Huang Yiming embraced her, gently comforting her. He caught a glimpse of Qin Yuling's adoring gaze and felt a surge of satisfaction. [Ding! Ultimate show-off successful! Reputation points skyrocketed! Qin Family Fort exclusive privileges unlocked! Spiritual root activation fragments gathered, breakthrough possible at any time!] He patted Yang Xiu's back, his gaze drifting towards the Black Stone Sect, a cold smile playing on his lips—since the Black Stone Sect was courting death, he wouldn't hesitate to crush this stumbling block completely and begin his own dual-transmigration counterattack.
