From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

Lu Jin did not answer. "We will set off at nine o'clock tomorrow to the dock and board the Iron Maru cargo ship to go south."

"Is it really possible to escape?"

Mr. Ren lacked confidence, looked dejected, and his eyes were full of self-blame. "President Jiang was right. That bastard Ruiyuan actually cooperated with foreigners and betrayed us!"

All they want is to continuously exploit the resources of this land and obtain cheap labor!

I was so naive before!

After saying that, Mr. Ren slapped himself hard, and a trickle of red blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

Before the Northern Expedition was completely successful, he began to think about the future, and even began to imagine how to control and restrain the supernatural beings, believing that only in this way could the future society be better.

But he was wrong!

That's completely wrong!

Extraordinary people and ordinary people are all people.

When extraordinary individuals cultivate their Qi and refine their character, there is a clear distinction between good and evil, a clear line that more than 90% of them adhere to.

If a member of another sect is a teammate, as long as they are not from the Quanxing sect, even if they are a stranger, you can give them more than 90% trust.

And ordinary people—

Even with your closest friends who grew up together, you still have to be careful.

For this, Mr. Ren felt extremely guilty, believing that his downfall was due to his excessive trust in Ruiyuan and his group, his wariness of Jiang Liu and other extraordinary individuals, and even his unwillingness to allow them to wield power…

At this moment, he finally understood that if he excluded the extraordinary people, what kind of change would that be?

learn from mistakes.

The bloody lesson made Mr. Ren realize that his previous ideas were no different from those of the feudal monarchs of the past; they all just wanted to control the supernatural beings, nothing more.

Moreover, given the current situation, the only way to resist that bastard surnamed J is to truly cooperate with the Extraordinary Ones.

“Mr. Ren, there’s no need for that. You’ve injured yourself and will need time to heal. It’s really not worth it. Why not keep your body intact and take action later?” Lu Jin comforted him.

“That’s right, with your abilities, you could easily assassinate Ruiyuan!” Mr. Ren thought of a plan.

“If we kill one man surnamed J, we can kill another surnamed Jiang. As long as the Westerners are willing, we can’t kill them all.”

Lu Jin shook his head. "Keeping him to complete the Northern Expedition is the best approach. What we need to do is accumulate strength and stabilize our base."

"Core base?"

Mr. Ren looked dejected, unsure of what his remaining support base was.

"rural."

Lu Jin held up one finger. "Brother Jiang once told me that throughout history, the foundation that kings, nobles, and generals have always valued is cities and towns."

However, rural areas and small counties also have enormous potential.

While it's true that the West underwent two industrial revolutions, it ultimately had to be grounded in reality, and only one group truly understands this land:

Farmers.

They all yearn to truly own land that no one can take away from them!

Upon hearing this...

Mr. Ren stood there, stunned, somewhat at a loss for words: "Chairman Jiang... are you serious?"

"Of course!"

Lu Jin nodded vigorously.

And who is the main character these two are discussing?

Because of her medical skills, Edward asked her to help examine Nice before it got dark.

"Fingers and toes fractured, severe lacerations and abscesses in the genital area, multiple bruises all over the body... That Gao Zhuang guy is absolutely a pervert!"

After a thorough examination, Jiang Liu became even more furious with Gao Zhuang. He straightened Nais's bones and prescribed a medicine to help her recover. "Follow this prescription for a month and you will recover. During this time, you must eat a light diet and avoid overly sweet or spicy foods, otherwise your condition will be difficult to cure."

"Thank you, Mr. Jiang."

Edward had an unimaginable obsession with traditional Chinese medicine, believing it to be one of the most precious treasures of the East. Therefore, he had no doubts about the prescription given by Jiang Liu and directly ordered Ilya to go to the pharmacy in the county town to get the medicine.

This made Jiang Liu nod secretly, further confirming Edward's character—

Although he is a capitalist, he also has a deep love for traditional Eastern culture and deserves a certain degree of trust.

Wait until 7 p.m.

Jiang Liu entered Nice Tucker's original room, closed the door, transformed into Nice's appearance, lay on the bed, and prepared to wait for his prey to come to him.

In the blink of an eye.

An hour passed quietly.

Jiang Liu's mental scan revealed a fat figure that arrived in front of the villa, leaped up, jumped onto the edge of the window, and pushed the window open with a "smack".

Jiang Liu rolled over, propped his head up, and sized up the newcomer:

He wore a gray-white cloth jacket and blue-gray trousers. He was tall, with a large, round waist and a big belly. His face was ugly like a pig, and his teeth were wide open like a blood basin. He didn't look like a human at all. If his ears were any bigger, he would look like a wild boar that had become a spirit in the mountains.

[He really does look a bit like Pigsy from Journey to the West!]

With just one glance, Jiang Liu had this idea pop into his head. Then, thinking of teasing Gao Zhuang, he sighed in a hoarse voice and said, "ε=('ο｀*))) Sigh!"

"Why are you sighing?" Gao Zhuang was a tall and burly man with a booming voice, but he had a simple and honest air about him. He asked curiously.

"It's a pity you're not lucky."

Jiang Liu imitated Nice's habit, sighing and preparing to test Gao Zhuang to confirm Edward's situation once again—of course, even if Edward was hiding something, Gao Zhuang would still die.

Without him.

Jiang Liu had previously asked other people on the street and learned that Gao Zhuang was indeed taking advantage of his status as a foreigner's son-in-law to bully men and women, causing the local people to suffer greatly.

"Because you eat so much, you've almost eaten up his entire fortune, and the rest of the Public Works Bureau thinks he's colluding with some Eastern supernatural being, so they're constantly targeting him..."

This is not!

This afternoon, he told me that he's planning to invite an Eastern alchemist tomorrow to subdue you!

Upon hearing this, Gao Zhuang wasn't angry at all. Instead, he grinned and said, "That's great! I'm just about to try something new and exciting! I've had enough fun!"

[Really a pervert?]

Jiang Liu's heart sank, realizing that Gao Zhuang might not actually have a grudge against Edward, but was simply looking for a thrill!

Fuck!

Isn't this the essence of the whole society?

However, the act had to be played out completely, so he sighed again and said, "This time, the person he invited is different; he is a great master!"

"What kind of expert?"

Ignoring Jiang Liu's "delicate" state, Gao Zhuang stepped forward and began to pull off her clothes.

Boom!

This time, however, Gao Zhuang was shaken off and kicked away by Jiang Liu, causing him to somersault backward, knock over the table, and his head was buzzing.

"Hee hee hee!"

Jiang Liu got out of bed, crossed his legs, and said to Gao Zhuang, "That's the president of the Confucian Association who won the martial arts tournament in Yuhang, the young master of the Ghost Hand Wang Cai Opera Troupe, and the founder of Cultural Street—"

"Jiang Liu!"

"It's him?!"

Gao Zhuang clearly recognized Jiang Liu's reputation, and regardless of why "Nice" was stronger than usual, he suddenly laughed out loud, "I've wanted to meet him for a long time, to see if he's as special as Wu Gensheng said."

"Rootless?"

Jiang Liu felt a surge of murderous intent, but he concealed it perfectly on his face and continued to ask, "Who was that? The woman you slept with today?"

"...He is a friend of mine."

Gao Zhuang, however, was an honest man and did not hide anything, saying, "It was his idea for me to come here."

He told me that if you want to find excitement, you should disguise yourself and become the son-in-law of a foreigner. If an Easterner becomes the son-in-law of a Westerner, he will naturally be able to enjoy himself!

indeed!

I enjoyed it for a while, but gradually I found that they seemed to have gotten used to it, and the joy in my heart disappeared.

So, I deliberately exposed my disguise!

At our wedding ceremony, I pretended to be drunk and revealed my true form, leaving everyone speechless! It was truly—

So happy!

That was fucking awesome!

As he spoke, Gao Zhuang laughed like a madman. Seeing that Jiang Liu's face was calm and his eyes were not rippled, he continued, "But after a while, they got used to it, and I found it a bit boring. I'm telling you this now in the hope that you can make me feel better!"

but!

why?

Why won't you satisfy me? I'm your husband!

Amidst the roar!

Gao Zhuang ripped open his shirt, revealing his abdomen with black holes and strange symbols drawn around it.

Similar holes and symbols were found not only on the abdomen, but also on the back and forearms.

It doesn't look like a human being.

It's more like a monster!

"In the past, when we were in bed together, I would always turn off the lights first so you wouldn't see my body, just to wait for this moment!"

"Look at that!"

"You've been having sex with a monster!"

"Hahaha!"
