Chapter 19. The Wondrous Uses of the Qi Gathering Technique
For the Wang Family, tonight was calm and peaceful because the two battles that occurred were swiftly resolved without creating any disturbance.
When they got up the next morning and saw the pile of fox carcasses, the entire Wang Family was in an uproar.
Wang Fulai showered Ling Xiaoyue and Fang Zhou with endless gratitude, nearly kneeling in appreciation.
For the past month, she hadn't been able to eat or sleep properly, almost driven to nervous exhaustion; but today, she could finally rest assured.
Ling Xiaoyue was very pleased because Wang Fulai had given her a hefty sum of money. It was payment for the fairy horse, whose meat had been purchased by the Wang Family. They might keep it for themselves or sell it, but that was none of her concern.
Fang Zhou was also happy. His horse, inadvertently caught up in the affair, had sold for the price of a fairy horse. In life it was unknown and ridden by people, but in death, it received the title of a fairy horse, which would surely bring a smile to its face even in the netherworld.
The key point was that the money for the horse was delivered privately by the steward, something Ling Xiaoyue had not noticed, so the money was Fang Zhou's private stash belonging only to him.
As for the pile of fox carcasses, Ling Xiaoyue commanded the steward to skin the foxes to make scarves, and chop their meat to make meatballs, all of which she intended to take with her.
Fang Zhou listened on the side, his scalp tingling — was this woman's heart made of black iron? She was even more ruthless than infamous skinflints, sparing nothing.
Since Ling Xiaoyue had promised to refine a Yang Reviving Pill for Wang Minghong, and there was also the issue of a big fox yet to be dealt with, both she and Fang Zhou were in no rush to leave and decided to stay at the Wang Family for two more days.
Ling Xiaoyue took the opportunity to teach the Qi Gathering Technique and swordsmanship to Fang Zhou.
