Villains: Starting with the Landlady

“Indeed.” Bellamy continued somewhat embarrassedly, “There’s only one mine. The outside world probably needs iron, but very little iron ore is extracted. Most of it is just useless soft metals…”

"and many more."

Ling Yun interrupted her immediately, staring at her beautiful eyes for a moment: "What color is that soft metal that's been smelted?"

"The yellow ones can only be processed into some ornaments. However, in the secret realm, natural ornaments are more helpful for our training, so they are useless."

"Can you show it to me?"

"it is good."

Bellamy was curious as to why Ling Yun was so interested in this, so she turned around and went back into the house to take out the crudely made ornaments.

[Master, the smelting technology here is too primitive, so the gold content of these ornaments is only about 80%.]

Hiss, although the smelting technology is backward, that's not the point. The point is, there are many gold deposits in one mine!

Ling Yun immediately took Bellamy's little hand and said, "Bellamy, do you have a lot of gold mines here?"

"Gold mine? You mean this metal? There is a lot of it, I estimate at least several hundred tons."

A mountain is measured in hundreds of millions of tons, so a few hundred tons is just a tiny fraction of the whole mountain.

Bellamy took Lingyun to the mine. After Lingyun went inside, he used his LV4 X-ray vision to take a look and found that Bellamy was being conservative. The gold ore here was worth at least several thousand tons!

Gold mines are not the same as gold, but the gold content of the ore here is astonishingly high, more than ten times that of ordinary gold ore. They can extract 80% gold even without any smelting technology—this is the most striking example!

A ton of gold ore costs only a few thousand dollars outside, but with the purity here, it would cost at least 100,000 dollars. So, thousands of tons...

Although he is not short of money, such a gold mine, along with other minerals, is still a considerable fortune.

Moreover, it was enough for these women to exchange for the items they needed.

"Bellamy, don't you know the value of gold?"

“Value?” Bellamy shook his head. “We are isolated from the world, and many things and knowledge have not been passed down. If you say this is valuable, it must be because it is rare outside. But for us, it is not rare and it is not very useful, so naturally it is not valuable.”

“Someone will come to mine this ore later. Just tell me what you need, and I'll take care of it all.”

"Really? Then I thank you on behalf of all the women in the village!"

Bellamy smiled sincerely, while Ling Yun felt a little embarrassed. After all, they were at most a hundred people, so how much money could they possibly have? The value of the gold mine, however, far exceeded that.

In the evening, Ling Yun, with the help of Bellamy and his daughter Lyle, bathed and changed clothes, cleansing himself of all impurities before arriving at the center of the village.

Tonight they held a grand party to celebrate Lingyun's arrival. Tomorrow morning, several elders and priests will lead a delegation of women to accompany Lingyun as they leave this place.

Ling Yun sat in the main seat, quietly anticipating the start of the party.

As fresh and delicious food was served, a giant bonfire was lit in the middle of the village, and a dance troupe of young women began to perform.

They were dressed lightly, and because they were all in good health, they were completely protected from the autumn evening breeze.

Ling Yun and the women ate their meal while enjoying their unique dance. It was a dance similar to that of the northwest of China, with a very exotic feel.

The other women, seeing the two women being intimate with Ling Yun, also sincerely offered their blessings and hoped to gain the favor of the man whose fate had been broken.

"Lingyun, tonight..."

"Me too, Mr. Lingyun."

Ling Yun smiled and nodded, then looked at the next part of the program.

After the dance troupe left, the guard regiment performed a combat routine.

Unlike other fancy martial arts performances, their performances are almost entirely unrehearsed, consisting of live, bare-handed combat!

Ling Yun also became interested and began to examine it carefully.

The strongest unarmed fighter was naturally the commander of the guard regiment, and Murphy was also quite skilled among them, but he was still easily defeated by the commander.

"Lord Lingyun, would you please have a match with me?"

The commander of the guard regiment was named Nogra. He had long brown hair tied in a braid and draped down his back. He was tall and had well-defined muscles.

The other women also smiled and looked at Ling Yun. To them, it was not a provocation for the commander of the guard regiment to compete with such a distinguished guest.

Ling Yun patted Bellamy and Lyle on the shoulders, straightened her clothes, and stood up.

"You can do anything!"

Chapter 186 The Last Gift

Ling Yun took off his slightly cumbersome oversized shirt, leaving only his pants and shoes on as he entered the arena.

Looking at Nogra, who was warming up across from him, Ling Yun also warmed up a little to avoid making a fool of himself in front of the women later.

[Name: Nogra]

【Age: 27】

[Value: 176, D]

[Rating: 95]

[Combat Strength: B]

[Affection: Admiration (Friendliness towards beautiful women UP+)]

The commander of the guard regiment in front of him was of equal strength, but in actual combat, Ling Yun believed he would have the upper hand. However, perhaps due to the aftereffects of thousands of years of internal training, they were more like wrestlers, and the clothes they wore gave their opponents more leverage.

"Lord Lingyun, please!"

Nogra laughed heartily, then slightly bent his upper body, assuming an offensive stance.

Ling Yun twisted his neck, determined to make a splash, and with the boost of [Lightning Speed], he rushed towards Nogra like a gust of wind!

The female team leader seemed completely unprepared for Ling Yun's astonishing speed. Although she was not careless, she still suffered a setback. By the time she realized what was happening, Ling Yun had already grabbed her lower abdomen, causing her to lose her balance and fall to the ground.

"Oh!"

The women burst into cheers, and some of the bolder ones even openly flirted and tore off pieces of their clothes, throwing them into the crowd.

Ling Yun released her and stepped aside. A gentle breeze blew, causing his trousers to flutter slightly. His muscular upper body, illuminated by the huge campfire behind him, looked like a sculpture from mythology.

"As expected of you, sir."

Nogra got up, showing no embarrassment but instead fueled by fighting spirit: "Please, let's do it again!"

Ling Yun nodded, indicating that it was her turn to go first this time.

Nogra held his breath and, seizing the moment when Ling Yun was distracted, pounced on him!

Ling Yun remained unmoved, allowing Nogra to rush over and hug his waist. When the female leader tried to trip him and make him lose his balance and fall, she found that Ling Yun's legs were rooted to the spot and he couldn't move an inch!

Nogra also realized the difference in strength and speed between the two, and quickly changed his strategy. He no longer cared about winning unfairly, and grabbed directly at his vital points.

Ling Yun finally took a half step back, cold sweat pouring down his face. This Tiger Girl was really brave; she actually tried to break through his defenses by attacking his vulnerable spots!

The other women laughed, realizing Nogra's intentions, but they also understood that she wouldn't actually cripple Ling Yun; she was just forcing him to back down.

In the instant Ling Yun retreated, her years of experience once again made her judgment. Taking advantage of the moment when Ling Yun's one leg left the ground, she wrapped her arms around his waist, quickly circled behind him, and suddenly lifted him up, lifting his tall body off the ground and slamming him backward.

However, Ling Yun reacted quickly as well. He did not panic after his legs left the ground. Instead, he twisted his waist and grabbed Nogra's clothes with his other hand, using her as a cushion when he fell.

The two fell to the ground with a thud, but the injuries were nothing to them.

Nogra looked at the man who was pinning her down and subduing her, and grinned, "Lord Lingyun, you've won!"

Ling Yun also stood up with a smile, but he didn't expect that his movements were a bit rough and his shoes flew off.

The women were doubled over with laughter. Tearing clothes is common in these kinds of fights and nothing unusual, but the fact that one of the main characters today was a man made it even more entertaining.

Ling Yun awkwardly put on his shoes and returned to his seat. Bellamy then naturally draped a coat over him.

"Lord Lingyun, please."

A young girl who had just come of age walked over with a smile and handed him a glass of her homemade fruit wine.

Soon, the other women followed suit and began to gather around him, offering him various foods, jewelry, and drinks.

Even with an enormous appetite, Lingyun couldn't eat it all, so he could only smile and accept the food. The rest of the program was simply spontaneous; whoever was interested could go up and perform. But after a while, everyone gathered around, curiously asking Lingyun about the outside world.

"Lord Lingyun, are all the men outside as outstanding as you?"

"Well..." After thinking for a moment, Ling Yun said after hearing one of the women's questions, "Strictly speaking, I should be considered one of the more outstanding ones."

"What do the houses outside look like?"

What do they rely on for transportation?

Do they hunt every day?

……

The numerous questions left Ling Yun overwhelmed. In the end, Bellamy stood up and quieted the women. Those who were really curious could find out by going back with Ling Yun tomorrow.

Late at night, everyone reluctantly extinguished the campfire and went back to their rooms to rest.

Ling Yun naturally returned to Bellamy's cabin.

Because he had eaten quite a bit that evening, and had also had a brief test with Nogra, Ling Yun was a little sweaty. After thinking for a moment, he decided to go to the pool behind him.

..............................

..............................

..............................

The next day, after Ling Yun had changed and eaten breakfast with the help of Bellamy and Lyle, the three of them went out of the house and saw a group of women who were all dressed up and ready to go.

Since they were going outside, they all changed into clothes that wouldn't look out of place. Plus, it was already autumn, so they were all wearing quite a few layers.

Bellamy walked gracefully to the front of the group, repeatedly reminding them of precautions such as following Ling Yun and not leaving the group at will, before turning to look at Ling Yun.

"Mr. Lingyun, we are ready."

"Then let's go!"

Ling Yun waved his hand and led the way to the "port" they had come from. Bellamy and Lyle boarded the speedboat, while the other women boarded their homemade sailboats and rowed into the thick fog together.

Chapter 187 Returning to the City

When Lingyun's speedboat emerged from the fog and the distant scenery came into view, Lyle couldn't help but stand up and shout.

The women behind them also emerged from the fog one after another. Upon seeing the scenery that was completely different from that in the secret realm, many of the women shed tears.

Bellamy was very smart. Ling Yun had been teaching her how to drive the speedboat. After seeing that she was familiar with the operation, he took out his phone and prepared to navigate to the nearest shore.

He turned off his phone because it lost signal, so it still had some battery left after two or three days.

However, as soon as he turned on his phone, he saw hundreds of text messages and missed calls, and all of his women expressed their fear and worry.

A few seconds after he turned on his phone, Ling Yaxuan called.

"Boss, you're back?"

The three women, Ling Yaxuan, were monitoring Ling Yun's phone status and location in real time, and called him immediately after he turned it on.

"Okay, come pick me up. There are quite a few people here, and it's a rather complicated situation, so it's best not to let outsiders know."

"Okay, boss. You guys wait here for a while. Second Sister and Third Sister will be here soon." Ling Yaxuan on the other end also breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the countless messages sent to her, she also had a headache. "Boss, in the few days you were gone, the boss's wives almost tore down my place. They want an explanation from me... Although I explained again and again that everything was fine, they are still very worried."

"I understand. I'll tell them later."

"By the way, you might not know this, but Mrs. Fu is about to resign..."

Ling Yun glanced at the women around him who were watching him and waiting for his signal, and shook his head with a wry smile. After all, Fu Xuehui had given him a leave slip, and since he couldn't be contacted for the next few days, she was probably the first to be affected.

After hanging up the phone, Ling Yun cleared his throat and shouted to the women as if he had turned on a megaphone: "Don't rush, lower the sails, a big ship will come to pick you up later!"

"Big ship?"

Lyle asked curiously, "How big is it? There are dozens of people here; a regular ship wouldn't be able to fit them all, would it?"

"Don't worry, that should be enough."

Ling Yun sat in his seat, thought for a long time, and then sent a smiley face in the group.

This caused a huge uproar. A group of women immediately started bombarding his phone, forcing him to disable call permissions and enable video communication.

"Xiaoyun, sob sob, I thought you didn't want me anymore..."

Su Qingya was the first to connect, and she burst into tears the moment she saw Ling Yun's face. Ling Yun comforted her for a while, but after one woman after another joined and started crying, Ling Yun got annoyed.
