Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 760: Chapter 303: Bounty, Advantage, and New Vassal (10,000-Word Combined Chapter)

Yaoyao looked impatient.

Liuu Meizhen shook her head with a smile:

"No rush."

"Before I left, I altered the restriction around the outer layer of the cave mansion. If anyone steps foot inside, it will be a one-way trip without return, unless they have a Golden Core Cultivation, otherwise, breaking through that barrier is out of the question."

She paused.

Liuu Meizhen looked at Fu Changsheng.

And continued:

"However,"

"Just as Yaoyao mentioned, my husband, I’m afraid we must set off immediately. There was an anomaly reported from the cave mansion barrier I set yesterday; most likely, someone or a demon beast has accidentally trespassed. To avoid further complications, we should depart early."

Upon hearing this, Yaoyao’s pupils constricted:

"Mother,"

"You are too calm. Since you noticed something was wrong yesterday, we should have left immediately. Why delay an extra night? If someone breaches the barrier, everything would be in vain."

Yaoyao has not yet understood matters between men and women.

Naturally, she wouldn’t understand.

Fu Changsheng, concealing his embarrassment, cleared his throat:

"Yesterday, your mother noticed I was too exhausted, so we rested for a day. Let’s go; we are heading out now."

To avoid drawing attention.

Meizhen mentioned to the steward of the Daughter Garden that she would be in seclusion for a while, and furthermore, the shop matters would be handed over to Fu Yongshang, to be managed jointly with Cui Zhi.

The three of them, Fu Changsheng, used the Invisibility Technique to leave the Daughter Garden. Once they reached a deserted area, they rode on a Cyan Flood Dragon, swiftly heading towards Pengyi Mountain. The Cyan Flood Dragon darted through the clouds at an incredibly fast speed, its massive body cutting through the surrounding clouds, forming trails of white tracks.

Yaoyao sat on the back of the Cyan Flood Dragon, her eyes fixed on the front, filled with anticipation for the Ancient Cultivator’s Cave Mansion. From time to time, she turned to ask Liuu Meizhen questions about the cave mansion: "Mother, besides the pill recipe, what else might be in the Ancient Cultivator’s Cave Mansion? Could there be powerful artifacts?" Liuu Meizhen smiled and said, "It’s hard to say. An ancient cultivator’s cave mansion often conceals various exotic treasures, and perhaps there are heavenly materials and treasures that can enhance cultivation."

Fu Changsheng, on the other hand, quietly circulated his spiritual power, keeping himself in the best state.

At the same time, his mind touched the panel, and with a thought:

"Exchange for intelligence."

Buzz!

The panel trembled.

A surge of yellow light flowed.

Immediately afterward,

Line after line of text appeared:

[1: Before Yun Shiying died, she killed Niu Erzhuang. His daughter Niu Qiuxiu discovered her father’s tragic death. Already seriously ill, this blow, coupled with no one to care for her, would soon lead to her death. Niu Qiuxiu has a Poison Body, and her cousin, Niu Chunxiu, whom you brought back to the Fu Family.]

Poison Body?!

Fu Changsheng’s gaze fell upon the intelligence above.

His eyes brightened.

A plan quickly flashed through his mind.

The Joy Sect had repeatedly targeted their Fu Family, and given their current strength, they certainly couldn’t threaten the massive Joy Sect.

But with the addition of the two sisters, Niu Chunxiu and Niu Qiuxiu,

Their odds noticeably increased.

If the Poison Body is cultivated well, breaking through to the Nascent Soul in the future shouldn’t be a problem.

Fu Changsheng immediately paused the intelligence exchange and turned his head towards Meizhen, saying:

"Meizhen, could you do me a favor?"

Fu Changsheng immediately paused the intelligence exchange and turned his head towards Meizhen, saying, "Meizhen, could you do me a favor?"

Liuu Meizhen turned around, with a look of inquiry in her eyes: "What is it?"

Fu Changsheng organized his words and said:

"Earlier, when Autumn Cicada performed the Sacrificial Refinement on Yun Shiying’s ghost soul, she found out that Yun Shiying visited the Niu Family before she died. Niu Erzhuang was killed, leaving a seriously ill Niu Qiuxiu. Her cousin Niu Chunxiu is now a retainer of our Fu Family. I’d like you to send someone to bring Niu Qiuxiu to the Daughter Garden first."

"Alright."

Liuu Meizhen did not hesitate in the slightest; the Daughter Garden is a place that accepts orphaned girls. She took out a Communication Jade Talisman from her storage bag. The Jade Talisman emitted a faint spirit light in her hand. She closed her eyes, spiritual power slowly infusing into it, and began transmitting messages.

.....

In the Wanning Marketplace, the Fu Family’s shop was bustling with activity. The clerks bustled between the shelves, organizing goods, greeting incoming customers. Cui Zhi was behind the counter, tallying accounts, her brows furrowed in concentration, with a fine layer of sweat on her forehead. The sunlight poured through the window, casting light upon her, with dust dancing in the beam.

Suddenly, the Communication Jade Talisman at Cui Zhi’s waist vibrated. Surprised, she put down the accounts in her hands and reached for the Jade Talisman. After reading Liuu Meizhen’s transmitted message, a trace of surprise appeared in her eyes, followed by determination. She knew this matter was certainly of utmost importance to the Fu Family.

Cui Zhi looked up at the busy shop, called over a clerk, and gave a few explanations, then swiftly hurried towards the Niu Family’s direction.

The Niu Family was located on the outskirts of the marketplace, in a somewhat rundown residential area. The surrounding houses were mostly low and dilapidated, with walls full of the marks of time. The Niu Family’s courtyard was utterly silent.

Niu Qiuxiu lay in a dimly lit room, her face as pale as paper, her body emaciated beyond recognition, her eyes filled with despair and helplessness. She knew her life was nearing its end; her father’s death was like the final straw that broke her, and now, stricken with severe illness, with no one to care for her, she could only wait for death to come in this dark corner.

When Cui Zhi arrived outside the Niu Family courtyard, she gently pushed the door open, and a musty smell hit her face. Her heart ached as she walked into the room and saw the dying Niu Qiuxiu.

"Miss Qiuxiu, I am Fu Family’s Cui Zhi; I’ve come to take you to the Fu Family’s Daughter Garden, where someone will care for you," Cui Zhi said softly, her voice gentle yet firm.
