My wife is a Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox
Chapter 144: Jealousy

Chapter 144: Chapter 144: Jealousy

Everyone’s heart rose to their throats, their faces deathly pale.

"It has nothing to do with us, we were all deceived by Sun Laoer!"

"Xujie, you know we all support you, we didn’t take a stand just now, you can’t be so ruthless!"

"Right, Xujie, we are all family, you can’t do this, if you kill us, there will be no one left in the Sun Family!"

These people were not fools, they quickly began to beg for mercy.

Wu Xia was slightly taken aback, too. He hadn’t considered this issue, and then he turned to look at Sun Xujie: "Are there any you want to keep?"

By then, Sun Xujie had already been deeply shocked by Wu Xia, For cultivators like them, one supreme expert was worth hundreds of people.

So, it was not about quantity, but quality.

"Mr. Wu, these people have already betrayed me, keeping them serves no purpose."

Sun Xujie respectfully said to Wu Xia: "People who have a history of betrayal, they will betray again next time!"

Wu Xia smiled faintly, his impression of Sun Xujie had improved even more.

"Xujie, we didn’t betray you, we did not!"

"Don’t kill us, we’ll definitely listen to you from now on, we’ll do whatever you ask!"

"Sun Xujie, we are family, are you going to kill us in front of our ancestors?"

"You will be cursed for this!"

Everyone was pleading for mercy, and when that failed, they began to curse.

Wu Xia looked coldly at these people; he didn’t like these fickle people either.

To facilitate Wang Zhiruo’s absorption, Wu Xia immediately arranged these people into a formation and used it to let Wang Zhiruo absorb their energy all at once.

These were all the core forces of the Sun Family, well over a hundred people, and just like that they all fell to the ground amidst painful screams.

Wang Zhiruo took a long time to absorb them, and after she was done, she looked very uncomfortable, so Wu Xia immediately had her begin cultivating to consolidate her strength.

And he stayed by her side the whole time.

When Wang Zhiruo opened her eyes again, it was already evening.

Brilliant golden light flashed in her eyes, and her strength had undergone an astonishing transformation.

Wu Xia showed a look of surprise as well.

By that time, Wang Zhiruo had already reached the eighth level of Joyful Union.

Even Wu Xia, with his defy-the-heavens cultivation, had taken so long to reach this level, but Wang Zhiruo had done it in just one day.

Even with the Demon Clan bloodline of Qin Jiusheng in her body, it shouldn’t have been so fast.

"Absorbing their cultivation to enhance oneself is terrifying!"

Wu Xia couldn’t help but exclaim.

However, since Wang Zhiruo had already stabilized the qi and blood in her body, Wu Xia breathed a sigh of relief.

"Zhiruo, from now on, you mustn’t absorb others’ Spiritual Energy again; you need to learn to cultivate yourself."

Wu Xia looked at Wang Zhiruo earnestly. This easy way to gain power could make a person frivolous and prevent them from experiencing the hardships of cultivation.

Moreover, absorbing too much power from others could lead to chaotic and impure energy within Wang Zhiruo’s body, causing her great discomfort later on.

"Mhmm!"

Wang Zhiruo nodded obediently, snuggling into Wu Xia’s embrace: "Xia, thank you."

"Zhiruo, I’ll take you back. You do nothing these days but focus on cultivating at home. You must integrate and absorb all the power thoroughly before moving on to the next step!"

Wu Xia lifted Wang Zhiruo in his arms. He himself was a cautionary tale, having had to start over due to unstable abilities.

He couldn’t let Wang Zhiruo follow in his footsteps.

"Mm!" Wang Zhiruo nodded gently.

"Mr. Wu, didn’t you say you were going to attack the Ye Family?" Seeing Wu Xia was about to leave, Sun Xujie hurried up to him. "I’ve already assembled the men, we can go at any time!"

Wu Xia glanced at Sun Xujie and casually handed him a Cultivation Method. "Absorbing someone else’s Spiritual Power is an act against the heavens, and there will definitely be backlash afterward."

"This is modified based on your Sun Family’s Cultivation Method, and it’s very suitable for your cultivation. From now on, don’t plant Gu Worms in other people’s bodies!"

"Ah!" Sun Xujie felt the new technique in his mind and was overwhelmed with excitement, thumping to his knees to kowtow to Wu Xia. "Thank you, Mr. Wu, thank you!"

Wu Xia waved his hand. "We won’t go to the Ye Family today. I’ll let you know when it’s time."

After speaking, Wu Xia left with Wang Zhiruo, returning to his villa in Hai City.

Originally, Wang Zhiruo wanted to perform Dual Cultivation with Wu Xia to quickly refine the power within her body, but Wu Xia’s cell phone rang.

It was his elder brother, Wu Gang calling.

"Xia, where have you been these last two days?"

"You’re the main character, everyone in the village wants to toast with you. They couldn’t find you and were upset, even thinking that you’ve become so successful you’re looking down on them!"

"Hurry back here. Jiao’s parents have also arrived, and I think they’re looking to make trouble!"

Wu Xia replied awkwardly, "Brother, I’m coming back right now!"

Then Wu Xia looked helplessly at Wang Zhiruo. "Zhiruo, you keep cultivating well. I’ll come back for you after I deal with things."

Wang Zhiruo initially wanted to go back with Wu Xia, but he refused.

Right now, the power in Wang Zhiruo’s body was extremely unstable. With so many people back home, Wu Xia didn’t want to take any chances of something going wrong should he get careless.

He set up an isolation formation for Wang Zhiruo, allowing her to cultivate alone, and then he disappeared from the room, returning to Wujia Gully.

Wujia Gully was brightly lit and bustling with excitement.

The villagers had been feasting from last night all the way through this evening, with a different menu each time, and everyone was very happy.

Zhou Fang and Lin Jiao’s family heard the news and also hurried over.

Especially upon seeing the car worth millions and Lin Jiao and her family decked out in gold and silver, Lin Jiao’s parents were filled with jealousy.

Especially Lin Yong, his face ashen with ugliness. "Mom, did you see? I told you 200,000 was too little. I checked that car; it’s more than a million, nearly two million after taxes. They use such a nice car to haul stuff; imagine how rich they must be!"

"The bride price must be raised to at least two million!"

"And they have to take me with them to get rich too. They can’t be the only ones making money and not let me!"

"Yong, don’t worry, I’ll call your sister over right now!" Mr. and Mrs. Lin preferred sons over daughters, and they immediately called Lin Jiao over, making a scene in front of the villagers.

Even though it made little sense, they used moral coercion to threaten Lin Jiao.

"Lin Jiao, you are my daughter. You can’t just make a fortune and forget about us!"

"Your brother hasn’t settled down yet, you must get him a house!"

"Also, how exactly did you come into money? You can’t just keep that to yourselves. We’re all family, bring everyone along!"

The words of Mr. and Mrs. Lin gave the family of Zhou Fang ideas too.

Who would turn down money?

Although they feared Zhou Fang getting angry, they still tentatively spoke out.

"Yeah, Fang, what’s the deal? Fill us in!"

The surrounding villagers also settled down, pricking up their ears to listen.

Zhou Fang and Lin Jiao didn’t know how to respond, only mentioning that the money was earned by Wu Xia, which led everyone to press them about what exactly had happened.

They couldn’t offer any satisfactory explanation.

"You haven’t done anything illegal, have you?"

"Couldn’t be that you robbed a bank?"
