Legendary Son-in-Law: The Man with Poison Talismans

"Is your injury healed?"

"All right."

"Are you comfortable living here? We just tidied up that room temporarily, so we don't know if it's missing anything."

Madam Qin asked very detailed questions, her tone revealing her concern.

Lin Mu answered them one by one, feeling a warmth in his heart.

This mother-in-law is quite enthusiastic.

While eating, Master Qin asked, "Lin Mu, how have you been all these years?"

Lin Mu was taken aback.

Fortunately, he managed to recall some fragments of the original owner's things that afternoon.

Lin Mu put down his chopsticks and said, "My parents passed away early. I'm all alone now."

Master Qin nodded without interrupting.

Actually, Grandpa Qin had asked this question when the two first met, but whenever they met, the old man would keep asking him, and after asking, he would remain silent for a long time before sighing.

Lin Mu continued, "My home is in a village near the Snake Valley. We don't have a livelihood, and my parents didn't leave us much money, so we just live like that."

Master Qin sighed: "Snake Valley... I know that place."

He put down his chopsticks and looked at Lin Mu: "The monsters over there are not weak. Red snakes and tiger snakes, either one can kill you. You can't level up by yourself."

"That village. Apart from the sword-wielding and archery guards sent by Her Majesty Empress Beech, the rest are all ordinary people. Even if you awaken your profession, you have to spend a lot of money to hire someone to escort you out of the village."

He paused, his tone turning somber: "I hadn't heard from you for a long time, assuming your family had gone into seclusion. Finally, thanks to an old friend who told me about you, I realized... alas, things have changed..."

He didn't continue speaking, waved his hand, picked up his wine glass, and took a sip.

Lin Mu also picked up his wine glass and took a sip.

Madam Qin changed the subject at the right moment: "Alright, alright, let's not talk about the past. Let's eat, the food is getting cold."

The meal went fairly well.

Madam Qin and Master Qin would ask Lin Mu a few questions from time to time.

In the middle of the event, Old Master Qin pulled Lin Mu aside and quietly handed him a scroll.

"Take this random teleportation scroll; it could save your life in a critical moment."

After saying that, Grandpa Qin said he was full and turned to go back to his room.

Qin Yumo remained silent throughout, focusing on her meal without glancing at Lin Mu.

Lin Mu didn't care.

After finishing our meal, we made our way back to their small courtyard through a maze of turns.

Qin Yumo walked in front, and Lin Mu followed behind, keeping a distance of three or five steps between them, neither of them speaking.

Lin Mu was pondering something.

He really wanted to ask: What's the structure of this world? Why are the monsters so powerful? How come there's an empress in Bichon? ...

But never mind.

Asking her would be pointless.

As she approached the room door, Qin Yumo suddenly stopped.

Lin Mu, who was not maintaining a safe following distance, almost caused a rear-end collision.

Qin Yumo turned around and looked at him.

“You know,” she began, her voice still so calm, “our marriage is just my father repaying a debt of gratitude.”

Lin Mu nodded.

"So we need to make a three-point agreement," Qin Yumo said. "From now on, we won't interfere with each other's lives. If you find a girl you like someday, you can tell me, and then we can get a divorce. But you're not allowed to suddenly run away like today, making everyone in the city look for you."

Lin Mu was stunned for a moment, looking at the beautiful face in front of him, a hint of regret flashing through his heart. Such a beautiful girl, what a pity.

But it's just a pity.

He's a hardcore gamer who can stay up for seven days straight, what could be more important than leveling up?

Lin Mu nodded: "Okay."

Qin Yumo seemed surprised that he agreed so readily, and paused for a moment, but still turned and went into her room.

I watched as Qin Yumo's room door closed.

Lin Mu also pushed open the door and went into his own room.

-

The next day, Lin Mu woke up just as dawn was breaking.

He wanted to go earlier, but the shops weren't open yet.

After washing up and changing into clean clothes, I stuffed the things I had caught yesterday into my clothes and headed out.

As soon as I stepped out of the yard, I bumped into someone.

Spring apricot.

She stood at the doorway, holding a tray with a few steamed buns and a bowl of porridge on it.

"Young Master! You're awake!"

Lin Mu nodded, took the steamed buns, one in his mouth and one in his pocket, and said indistinctly as he kept walking, "Um, I'm going out for a bit."

Chunxing was stunned for a moment, then quickly followed: "Young Master, where are you going?"

Lin Mu casually replied, "Just browsing around."

Chunxing jogged to catch up with him, her voice a little urgent: "Young master, Miss instructed me to follow you."

Lin Mu paused in his steps.

Follow me?

He turned to look at Chunxing.

Chunxing felt a little embarrassed by his gaze, lowered her head, and whispered, "Miss said that I should stay close to the young master... so that he won't run around."

He stared at Chunxing for three seconds, then suddenly opened his arms and said generously, "Sure, come and join us on Tieba."

Chunxing's face flushed red.

"Son-in-law!"

She raised her little fist, as if to hit someone.

Lin Mu turned and ran.

Chunxing chased after him and punched him on the back. It didn't hurt, just a little itchy.

The two chased and fled until they reached the gate of the Qin residence.

Lin Mu had just steadied himself when he heard the sound of horses' hooves.

He looked up.

Outside the gate, Master Qin, dressed in heavy armor—or perhaps the armor of a war god—with the Frost-Free Greatsword at his waist, was riding a tall horse.

The horse was bluish-gray, tall and magnificent, covered in leather armor, and looked very imposing.

Behind Master Qin were several young people, all riding horses, both men and women, wearing various kinds of armor, clearly representing all three professions.

"drive!"

Master Qin spurred the horse, and the horse neighed loudly and galloped away.

Several young men followed closely behind, their horses' hooves thundering, and they soon disappeared at the end of the street.

Lin Mu stared at their retreating figures, his eyes wide with disbelief.

This thing doesn't exist in the game.

He used to play Legend of Mir, and he had to run around on foot to get anywhere, until his legs were broken.

You can actually ride a horse in this world?

Lin Mu felt a surge of excitement.

But he quickly calmed down.

Now is not the time to think about this.

He turned and looked at Chunxing beside him.

We need to get her away first.

Lin Mu cleared his throat, turned to look at Chunxing, and put on a serious face.

"Spring Apricot."

Chunxing blinked: "Young Master?"

Lin Mu said, "I'm going out to take care of some things, and it's inconvenient for you to come along."

Chunxing immediately shook her head: "No, Miss has given the order."

“I know, I know,” Lin Mu interrupted her, “but I swear I’ll be back before sunset.”

Chunxing hesitated.

Lin Mu took out several dozen copper coins from his pocket and stuffed them into her hand.

"Here, buy some snacks."

Chunxing looked down at the small handful of copper coins in her hand, then looked up at Lin Mu.

Lin Mu looked completely sincere.

Chunxing bit her lip and finally nodded.
