The Mightiest Little Peasant c1-799

  “I don’t know either. I haven’t figured it out yet!” Tang Hao said with a smile.

  After pondering for a while, he stood up and tried out his brick on a few wild beasts.

  That brick was indeed very amazing, being able to hit its target every time, even if the beasts dodged it the first time.

  “That’s a great treasure!”

  The Taoist masters were extremely envious.

  Tang Hao picked up the brick. He weighed it a few times and was in a great mood. The ten million yuan was not wasted.

  With the brick, he did not need the mirror anymore. He could give it to Qin Xiangyi to protect herself.

  “Come, let’s eat some more!”

  The Taoist masters greedily roasted some more meat and drank some liquor.

  After eating and drinking to their fill, the group of people left the mountain and returned to Province J.

  It was already past eight o’clock in the evening when he returned to Provincial City.

  He thought of going home directly. Instead, he stopped halfway by the roadside and called Zhao Qingxue.

  The phone rang for a long time before the call went through.

  “Hello, Tang Hao! Why did you call me? Could it be another case?” Zhao Qingxue said.

  Tang Hao laughed. “No!”

  “No? Then what is it? Don’t tell me… you miss me?”

  Tang Hao did not deny it. “Where are you now?”

  “In the provincial headquarters! I’ve been quite busy recently, and I have to work overtime every night. I should get off work in another twenty minutes. Come and pick me up!” She said.

  “OK!” Tang Hao responded.

  “Then I’ll wait for you!” Her tone was seductive.

  After putting down the phone, he turned around and drove toward the provincial headquarters.

  About ten minutes later, the car stopped at the entrance of the Provincial Police Headquarters. After waiting for a few minutes, a beautiful figure walked out.

  She walked over, opened the car door, and sat inside.

  She put her bag down and turned her head to stare at Tang Hao.

  Suddenly, she leaned over, stretched out her hand, and kissed him in a domineering manner.

  Tang Hao was stunned, and his eyes widened. They were at the entrance of the Provincial Police Headquarters! It would be bad if someone saw them!

  She saw Tang Hao’s stunned look and could not help but smile.

  She stretched out her slender fingers, pinched Tang Hao’s cheek lightly, and said with a lovely smile, “You’re so silly! But I like that expression of yours.”

  She leaned forward again and kissed him.

  When they returned home, the two of them made out for a while.

  “I’m so hungry!” After snuggling for a while, she got up, draped her pajamas over her shoulders, and went to the kitchen. When she opened the refrigerator and saw that it was empty, she was stunned.

  Tang Hao could not help but laugh when he saw her face.

  “Why didn’t you stock up some food?”

  “I’ve been too busy recently! I was afraid that I would forget about the food and it would expire. Recently, besides sleeping, I rarely stay at home.”

  “Your work is tough!”

  “Yeah! But it’s worth it. My superiors have been observing me recently, and they’re thinking of promoting me to captain, so I have to give it my all! It’s fine even if it’s tough.”

  As she said that, she laughed proudly. “A twenty-four-year-old police captain in the provincial headquarters. How amazing would that be!”

  “Mm! It’s indeed amazing!” Tang Hao praised.

  “Of course!”

  She raised her face and scrunched her delicate nose.

  “I’m really hungry! Let’s go out and eat!”

  As she said that, she was about to change into a set of clothes.

  “No need, I’ll make you something to eat.” Tang Hao walked to the kitchen, took the chopping board and kitchen knife, and began to cook.

  “You’re so nice!”

  She hugged Tang Hao.

  Tang Hao’s hands immediately trembled.

  “Go sit over there!” Tang Hao said hurriedly.

  “Oh!”

  Zhao Qingxue was rarely so obedient. She sat at the dining table, rested her chin on her hands, and stared at him. As she looked at him, the corners of her mouth curled up, revealing a sweet smile.

  “Are you done?

  “I’m so hungry! I’m really hungry!

  “What’s that? How about that one?”

  She stood up from time to time, tilted her head, and said coyly.

  “I’m almost done!”

  Every time, Tang Hao could only appease her like that.

  Tang Hao made two dishes. One was Fantasy Fish, and the other was roasted venison. When he served the dishes on the dining table, her eyes lit up, and she exclaimed, “It smells so good!”

  She could not wait to eat the meat in front of her.

  “Aren’t you going to eat?”

  She was surprised when she saw that Tang Hao sat there without moving.

  “I’m not hungry. This is all for you!” Tang Hao said.

  “Oh!”

  She continued to eat.

  “I have something to tell you…” Tang Hao said when Zhao Qingxue was almost done with her food.

  “What is it?”

  “Do you want to cultivate?”

  “Cultivate?” Zhao Qingxue was stunned. After a while, she came to her senses. “Of course I want to! If I’m as good as you, I’ll have a much easier time handling cases. Arresting criminals will be a breeze.

  “That way… I’ll be able to solve more crimes!”

  As she said that, she was so excited that her petite face turned red. A righteous grin appeared on her face.

  Seeing that, Tang Hao could not help but laugh.

  At first, he was quite hesitant to offer Zhao Qingxue a chance to cultivate. After all, Ma Fangfang and Han Yutong were going to be by his side for a long time.

  However, Zhao Qingxue was different.

  He could not give her a title, and he did not know what would happen in the future. That was why he was hesitant.

  Now that he saw her excited expression, he thought that it would be a good idea to teach her cultivation no matter what would happen in the future.

  Chapter 752 - This Is Crazy

  In the north of Huaxia was a mountain range.

  The mountains were covered with snow all year round, and it was usually devoid of people.

  One day, somewhere in the mountains, the air suddenly rippled like the surface of a pond, and a figure suddenly appeared and fell to the ground.

  “Ouch!”

  His face hit the ground, and he could not help but cry out in pain.

  He got up and straightened his robe. He was a man who looked to be in his fifties or sixties. His face was thin, and there was a sinister look between his brows.

  He had a long beard and long hair, and he was dressed in ancient clothes. At a glance, he looked as if he had walked out of a film set.

  He rubbed his face and looked around. Then, he frowned.

  “The qi is too thin…”

  “Those who stayed behind should have all declined or even died out!”

  He sneered and revealed a mocking expression.

  Then, he flicked his sleeves proudly.

  “Haha! The cultivation world must be in a terrible state right now! Now, I can do whatever I want. It was not easy for me to become the trailblazer. I must show off my might.

  “Let’s see. About eight or nine hundred years have passed! I wonder how the secular world has become. What’s the current dynasty? I’ll go and investigate!”

  He flicked his sleeves and left the mountain happily.

  He hummed a tune as he walked, evidently in a very happy mood.

  At the foot of the mountain was a road.

  A large truck was driving on the road.


  The person was stunned when he saw the truck. What was that rectangular thing that could run?

  He eventually came to his senses and rubbed his eyes, thinking that his eyes were playing tricks on him.

  “Halt, you foul beast!”

  He leaped into the middle of the road, in the way of the truck.

  “Whoa!”

  The driver was shocked. He slammed on the brakes, but it was too late.

  The man flew backward in an arc and fell to the ground.

  “Oh sh*t! I’ve killed someone!” The driver’s expression changed drastically. Then, he cursed angrily, “Dammit, that lunatic jumped in the way! Does he have a death wish?”

  He looked around and saw that there was no one around. He started the truck again and wanted to escape.

  That area was an empty wilderness. There were no other cars, let alone any cameras.

  Unexpectedly, at that moment, the “corpse” in front of him moved and sat up.

  The driver’s eyes widened, and his eyeballs almost popped out.

  ‘He’s still alive?

  ‘That’s too damn lucky!’

  After the man sat up, he clutched his chest and grimaced in pain. Even though he was a cultivator, his physical body was not that strong. After being hit by the truck, his entire body began to ache.

  “Dammit, how dare you hit me!”

  He cursed and was about to stand up.

  At that moment, the driver started to panic. ‘Oh no! The guy is still alive! What if he asks me for compensation? No, I have to make sure that he’s dead!’

  He made up his mind, gritted his teeth, and floored the accelerator.

  “Ouch!”

  With a miserable cry, that person was sent flying again.

  “This is outrageous!”

  He was shaking with anger. He had just come out of seclusion, and he was already being tormented by that strange thing. That was too embarrassing.

  “What the f*ck! He’s still alive?”

  The driver had an incredulous look on his face. Then, he ran over the man with the truck.

  The man lay there, his facial muscles twitching.

  “Stay down this time!”

  The driver moved the truck back and forth many times, as though he was afraid that he could not kill that guy.

  The man was sprawled on the road, foaming at his mouth.

  After driving away for some distance, the driver looked through the rearview mirror and saw that the person had stopped moving. Then, he hurriedly fled.

  The man lay on the ground, motionless. His eyes rolled over, and there was white foam oozing from his mouth. It was a pathetic sight.

  After a long time, he finally came to. He wiped his mouth and sat up with a dazed look on his face.

  ‘What happened to showing off? Why am I bullied by that thing right after I come out?

  ‘What was that thing?

  ‘Also, what’s going on with this world? It’s completely different from the world I remembered.’

  “This world… seems to be quite dangerous!”

  He muttered and even wondered if he had come to the wrong place.

  He restrained his arrogant attitude and carefully walked forward.

  He saw several more cars as he walked along the road, though he remembered to keep his distance. After carefully observing, he finally understood that the people were driving in those cars.

  Those things were like machine-operated beasts. It was quite intricate.

  “Wow! How magical!” He exclaimed.

  He was even more surprised when he arrived at the county town. He exclaimed in surprise at anything new he saw.

  The people in the town were shocked when they saw him. Then, they all revealed looks of disdain.

  “Look, that old man is so perverted…”

  “Is he cosplaying at such an old age? He looks so shabby!”

  That person was stunned. What was “cosplaying?”

  He went around town and stood at an intersection. Suddenly, he seemed to have sensed something. He swept his gaze around and eventually landed on a car.

  A middle-aged man with a jade pendant around his neck was sitting in the car. The jade pendant was emitting a strong qi aura.

  ‘It’s an Artifact!’

  His eyes instantly lit up. After all, Artifacts had always been very precious items.

  He sensed that the man was a mundane person. The man probably dug up the pendant in a stroke of good luck!

  He instantly dashed to the side of the car, formed a claw with his right hand, and smashed through the window. He reached inside, grabbed the jade pendant, and pulled it hard.

  The person inside was completely stunned. He looked at the guy who was dressed like an ancient with his mouth agape.

  “Hahaha! This is a treasure! And it’s a defensive type Artifact too. My trip this time is not in vain!”

  The person held the jade pendant in his hand and exclaimed excitedly.

  “Hey! What are you doing? Are you crazy? That’s mine. Quickly return it to me!

  “Help! Robbery! Someone call the police!”

  The person in the car shouted.

  Heads poked out from the surrounding cars and looked over.

  “He’s a lunatic!”

  They discussed in low voices, and someone even called the police.

  “Shut up! What are you shouting for? A mundane like you should not possess this. This treasure belongs to cultivators! It’s very precious!” The person stroked his long beard and said.

  “Ha, that’s true! It’s indeed a treasure. I spent five million yuan on it. Go and buy one for yourself! You don’t have to snatch mine!”

  The person in the car said angrily.

  As he said that, he reached out to grab the jade pendant.

  The man was stunned. “Wait? You bought this?”

  “You don’t say! It’s five million yuan each. How many do you want? I’ll get them for you!”

  The man holding the jade pendant was stunned.

  ‘This isn’t right!’

  Shouldn’t Artifacts be precious items? Even in ancient times, Artifacts were not common enough to be sold. Now, even mundane people could buy Artifacts if they had the money.

  ‘This… is crazy!’

  Chapter 753 - Hidden Sect

  “This is crazy… this is crazy!”

  The man muttered to himself in utter disbelief.

  He could not understand what was going on. The qi fluctuations in the world were so thin, so the cultivation world must have declined. How could there still be so many Artifacts that even ordinary people could buy them?

  More than eight hundred years ago, there were not many Artifacts. After so many centuries, there should be fewer and fewer of them!

  “Dammit, give it back to me!”

  The person in the car leaned over and tried to grab him again.

  The man was instantly angry. How dare a mundane person talk back to him?

  He raised his hand and was about to kill that guy. However, when he looked around, he saw that a crowd had gathered around him. They pointed at him and whispered among themselves. Some of them were holding their cell phones and recording the scene.

  In the distance, the ear-piercing sound of a police siren could be heard.

  He was frightened by the spectacle, and his raised hand froze.

  If he had met the person right after he got out, he would have killed that guy without even blinking.

  After being run over by a truck a few times and being frightened by the fact that even an ordinary person could buy an Artifact, he had already put away his arrogant and willful thoughts.

  He was getting afraid of the modern world!

  Before he understood the situation, he dared not act rashly again.

  “Hmph! I’ll spare your life today!” He shouted.

  He leaped onto the cars and dashed away.

  “Wow! So fast!”

  The crowd exclaimed.

  “Hey! My jade pe
ndant… I hope that you choke on it and die!” The driver leaned out and roared angrily.

  After cursing for a while, he sat back in the car and looked at the broken window. He was furious.

  “Dammit! What bad luck!” He cursed again, picked up his phone, and dialed a number.

  “Hello, Bro Dajun? Let me tell you, I ran into a robbery. Where? I’m in Inner Mongolia now!

  “Ha! My business has been good recently. I’ve expanded my business here…

  “It’s that protective treasure! It’s worth five million! Sigh, my heart aches just thinking of it! That person is also a lunatic. He’s wearing ancient clothes and is acting crazy.

  “Do you think you can get me another one, Bro?

  “Sure, I can wait! Money is not a problem! I can still afford five million. I don’t feel safe without the treasure!”

  After hanging up, he put down his phone and started cursing again.

  …

  Provincial City, Province Z.

  Tang Hao had just finished an afternoon class when he received a call from Liu Dajun.

  “What’s the matter, Big Bro Liu?” Tang Hao answered the call and said.

  “Hi! I want to ask you for another jade pendant,” Liu Dajun said.

  Tang Hao furrowed his brows and said, “Just one? Who’s in trouble?”

  “It’s Liu Qiang. Do you remember him?”

  “Liu Qiang?”

  Tang Hao thought for a while and quickly remembered who he was.

  Liu Qiang was a distant relative of Liu Dajun. He sold and rented houses for a living. Previously, he had invited Taoist Master Chang Qing to help him with a haunted house. After that, he became friends with Taoist Master Chang Qing.

  “I remember! What happened to him?”

  “He met with a robbery in Inner Mongolia. The robber snatched his jade pendant.”

  Tang Hao was stunned.

  He thought that Liu Qiang wanted a new one because he had gotten into a serious car accident and the jade pendant had been damaged.

  “How could he be so careless!” Tang Hao said with a smile, “Is he alright now?”

  “He’s alright. It’s just that the jade pendant is gone. I heard from him that that robber is crazy. He’s wearing ancient clothes,” Liu Dajun said casually.

  When Tang Hao heard that, his expression changed slightly.

  ‘Ancient clothes?
