Chapter 1131: Chapter 488: The Fisherman Never Empties the Air Force_2

"Can’t you let him release the exotic beast, that dog... it won’t harm you!"

"No, I am a kitchen knife, I want to chop vegetables," Qi Yuan said, walking towards Zhou Xiao.

Zhou Xiao’s mind whirled quickly: "Want to chop vegetables? Let’s go, I’ll take you to the kitchen, there are lots of vegetables there."

Watching Qi Yuan slowly approach, Zhou Xiao was not afraid; he held a dagger in his hand, and he had once cultivated, though he had not been successful. Compared to an ordinary person, his combat ability was still much higher.

But who knew, suddenly, Qi Yuan’s figure abruptly sped up.

A calm voice entered his ears.

"You are my ’vegetable’!"

A hand chop forcefully hit his neck, intense pain accompanied by dizziness struck him, and his consciousness was extinguished at that moment.

And his face wore an expression of disbelief.

"You..."

Zhou Xiao’s words ultimately remained unspoken, and his body heavily fell to the ground.

He never expected that the useless son-in-law would be able to kill him with one strike!

"Kitchen knife chops vegetables, experience slightly increased."

A mechanical, cold voice came, and Qi Yuan shrugged.

"This madhouse director is too useless, only has fifty ants’ strength!"

Indeed, killing this director only granted the experience equivalent to fifty ants.

It wasn’t even enough for Qi Yuan to level up.

He was still Level 2.

"Young Master, I’ve held down this exotic beast, hurry over, I feel I can’t hold it much longer!"

Chen Kangbao’s face turned red, veins bulging on his hands as if he was using every ounce of energy.

"I continue to bless you," Qi Yuan stated.

Although his strength was not apparent, he still had sharp eyesight.

Not to mention, he could still see hidden information.

This Chen Kangbao did have some combat strength.

Hearing Qi Yuan’s words, Chen Kangbao was immensely motivated.

"Blessed again?"

"This old servant feels filled with strength!"

"Is this the Young Master’s blessing?"

"Please, Young Master, give the old servant more!"

"This feeling, it’s just too good!"

"...don’t talk."

Qi Yuan was speechless, pulling a dagger from Zhou Xiao’s embrace.

"Focus on holding it down, don’t let it hurt me."

Qi Yuan said, and under the terrified gaze of the black and white dog exotic beast, the dagger plunged into its neck.

Instantly, as if its airway was shredded, the beast struggled even more fiercely, but after a few moments, the struggle lessened, it was panting heavily, wheezing, and finally, it slowly fell silent.

"You bravely killed the exotic beast, black and white dog, experience increased."

Qi Yuan again pretended his system was providing the voiceover.

[You’ve stepped into Level 3, physical strength increased.]

[You’ve stepped into Level 4...]

...

[You’ve stepped into Level 6, physical strength increased.]

The experience gained from killing the exotic beast, black and white dog, was far beyond what the ants could compare to.

In just a moment, Qi Yuan had reached Level 6.

At Level 6, his strength and physical condition were not as good as that of the black and white dog, but using combat techniques, he could easily play the black and white dog to death.

"Well, the first step of our plan is indirectly completed," Qi Yuan said.

Now at Level 6, his punch packed the force of 600 catties.

Ordinary strong men were no match for him.

"Young Master is too powerful, we completed the first step of the plan, now it’s time for the second..." Chen Kangbao started, then suddenly paused with a bewildered look, "Oh no, Young Master, I’ve found a monumental oversight!"

"Oh, what oversight?"

"The second step of the plan was to interrogate Director Zhou Xiao, find out the real mastermind, but in the first step, he’s already dead, how can we interrogate?"

"It’s all grandfather’s fault, making such a big oversight in the plan!"

Chen Kangbao looked devastated, his pale face grew even paler, the joy from earlier had vanished.

"No worries, it’s not your fault," Qi Yuan said, "Actually, finding the mastermind is simple, isn’t it obvious who sent me here as a madman?"

Qi Yuan stated indifferently.

He didn’t like to use his brain.

But with high intelligence and high emotional intelligence, he could easily find problems when he thought about it.

"The one who sent me over here was Huang Yanshou, the second son of the Huang Family."

Son-in-law Qi Yuan’s memory recounted, Qi Yuan had returned to Ninghe County to worship his ancestors, and it was then that Huang Yanshou had taken the initiative to befriend him, offering silver and women.

The women, Qi Yuan, being a timid son-in-law, feared that the people of the Shen Mansion might discover, so he dared not accept.

Thus, Huang Yanshou covertly took son-in-law Qi Yuan to climb over the widow’s wall at night.

The end result was quite clear. There had been a disturbance by Strange Spirits there, the widow died, and son-in-law Qi Yuan had his soul hooked by Strange Spirits, becoming insane, and was sent to the madhouse.

"Huang Family, it’s actually the Huang Family!" Chen Kangbao said anxiously, "This Huang Family is a well-known prominent family in Ninghe County, often offering porridge and doing good deeds, very popular among the people!"

"Master, if we want to deal with the second son of the Huang Family, we need to devise a thorough plan!

Otherwise..."

Chen Kangbao was playing the role of the strategist.

"Plan yourself, I need to continue killing mosquitoes," Qi Yuan said casually.

Right now, without strong power, going head to head with the Huang Family would easily lead to demise.

Qi Yuan knew from gaming experience that it pays to develop under the radar.

"Okay!" Chen Kangbao, upon hearing such an important task entrusted to him, felt trusted and was invigorated.

"Master, what should we do with this body?" Chen Kangbao asked, looking at the body on the ground with a worried expression.

"Isn’t this simple?" Qi Yuan pointed to a pond in the distance, "Someone is fishing there, isn’t there? He’s been fishing for so long without catching a single fish, just toss the body over, might as well give him some company."

As the saying goes, a fisherman never fishes in vain.

Qi Yuan saw that the fisherman wasn’t catching any fish and was being laughed at, so he thought, why not do a good deed.

"Okay!" Chen Kangbao showed a smile upon hearing this.

"Master, please bless me, I’ll hang this exotic beast’s corpse and the body on the fisherman’s hook."

"Okay, go ahead, after you’re done go back to sleep, I need to sleep later as well."

Even though he had cultivated, Qi Yuan still enjoyed sleeping.

In this world where he hadn’t started cultivating yet, he naturally needed even more sleep to replenish his energy.

...

The next day, at noon.

Inside the madhouse.

Government Official Lin Qinghe, with his kitchen knife hanging at his waist, wore a stern expression.

He looked at the two bodies on the ground, and then at the old man fishing, "Tell me, what exactly happened, when did you find the bodies?"

Today, a report had been received about bodies found in the madhouse.

Such incidents were fairly common.

Although Lin Qinghe was reluctant, he had no choice but to pretend he didn’t see anything, unaware.

After all, this era was not going to change according to his wishes.

However, this time, with the deaths of the madhouse director Zhou Xiao and an exotic beast, he had no choice but to take action.

"This isn’t a body, this is my fish!" The old fisherman’s beard trembled as he clenched Zhou Xiao’s body proudly, "Such a big fish, haven’t seen one like this, have you? Hehe, caught by me, Wang Wei!"

Officer Zhou Hu smiled, "Chief, this fellow was carrying Director Zhou Xiao’s body around since early morning, yelling about catching a big fish. This led to the discovery that he was carrying Director Zhou Xiao’s body, startling everyone at the madhouse.

The guy’s nuts, fishes in the pond all day, probably can’t get anything useful from asking him."

Lin Qinghe nodded, his inquiry was merely a formality.

These mentally unstable people couldn’t really provide any useful information.

They might even imagine things, misleading them in their investigations.

Lin Qinghe squatted down to examine Zhou Xiao’s and the black and white dog exotic beast’s bodies.

"Zhou Xiao died from a sideways palm strike to the throat, the force was about two hundred pounds.

Strange, how could a person with this strength use a dagger to kill this exotic beast?"

Lin Qinghe’s eyes were filled with puzzlement.

Two hundred pounds of force, while it seemed adequate, was trivial to those like him who had been cultivating since childhood, not even close to Innate Divine Strength.

"Could it be, a Soldier Commander held down this exotic beast, allowing the murderer to kill it?"

"But why do it this way?"

"And why didn’t the Soldier Commander kill the exotic beast himself?"

The two bodies died in a strangely peculiar manner.

Moreover, being able to hold down an exotic beast with body strength alone definitely indicated an official Soldier Commander.

Such Soldier Commanders were few in Ninghe County, but most had no motive for crime.

"Has anything unusual happened in the madhouse recently?" Lin Qinghe asked the servant nearby.

"N-nothing," the servant dared not look into Lin Qinghe’s eyes.

At that moment, a Government Official came running up, whispering into Lin Qinghe’s ear, "Chief, half a body was found in Zhou Xiao’s courtyard, it looked horrible, probably eaten by the exotic beast."

Upon hearing this, a hint of murderous intent flashed in Lin Qinghe’s eyes, which then quickly disappeared.

He fiercely stomped on the body.
