My Wife is A Sword God
Chapter 361: Family Crisis Triggered by Green OrangeThe next day, before dawn, a knocking sound echoed.
Qin Feng sat up and looked to the side, Liu Jianli, whose black hair was scattered, opened her eyes slightly with rosy cheeks.
“Continue sleeping for a while, I’ll go see who it is.”
“Mmm.” A nasal sound came out as Liu Jianli slightly lifted the blanket to cover her exquisite figure.
After dressing, Qin Feng opened the door to find Qing’er looking worried.
“What’s wrong?”
“Young master, you need to see this. Madam has been crying all night, and her eyes are swollen from crying. No matter how much Master and Second Master try to persuade her, she won’t listen.”
“What?” Qin Feng exclaimed, urging, “Hurry, take me there.”
In the hall, father, mother, and younger brother were present. Second Mother sat there with red eyes. With a tearful voice, she said, “Master, I’ve never objected to you taking concubines. If you meet a girl you like, just tell me and I’ll look at her. I agreed to let you bring her home. But why do you have to fool around in secret?”
“Madam, what are you talking about? I didn’t…” Qin Jianan felt overwhelmed.As soon as he arrived home last night, the other party saw that he was holding green oranges in his hand and smelled the smell on his body. She started crying and made a scene. No matter how he explained, it was in vain.
“At this point, you still want to argue with me. Master, you never liked the smell of green orange. Why did you suddenly buy a bag of it? Feng’er also specifically reminded me that the smell of green oranges can cover the smell of rouge on a woman’s body!” Second Mother asked.
Father’s body trembled as he finally figured out the root of all this.
Ah, Qin Feng was shocked. He looked around and actually saw a bag of green orange on the table next to his father.
Could it be that he guessed correctly?
When he looked at his father again, the two of them looked at each other.
Qin Feng could clearly see a mixture of shame and anger in his father’s gaze, and he felt a slight headache.
Seeing that the family conflict was about to escalate, Qin Feng immediately stood up and said, “Second Mother, it’s a misunderstanding, it’s all a misunderstanding!”
“What misunderstanding? The scent of green orange all over him cannot fool anyone.” Second Mother sobbed.
Qin Feng’s thoughts turned, and he thought of a wording to help his father excuse himself: “Second Mother, I actually asked Father to help me buy those green oranges. The weather has been dry lately, and my throat doesn’t feel good, and my stomach isn’t too good.”
“These green oranges can moisten the throat and regulate the stomach. I mentioned this to Father last time, hoping he could find some green oranges for me, but he kept forgetting.”
“When I went to see Father last night, it was also about this matter.”
“The joke about using the smell of green oranges to cover the smell of rouge on a woman’s face was just a casual remark.”
“Besides, you’ve been with Father for so long; you know what kind of person he is, right?”
“Is that true?” The Second Mother’s sobbing voice softened a bit.
“Really! And Father, not to criticize you, but when you buy green oranges, just buy them. Why do you have to taste them yourself?”
“The juice splashes a lot, and you got it all over you, making Second Mother misunderstand, right?” Qin Feng spoke while winking and gesturing.
Father immediately understood, ” Isn’t it because you mentioned earlier that the more sour the green oranges are, the better the effect will be? So I had to taste whether these were sour or not.”
“I see, in that case, the misunderstanding has been cleared up. Second mother, don’t worry unnecessarily. Father has me and Second Brother looking after him, so he won’t make any mistakes.”
“You haven’t slept all night, go back and rest early. I have something to discuss with Father and Second Brother.”
After a few words of comfort, Second Mother finally returned to her room with Qing’er by her side.
In the main hall, both Qin Feng and Qin An breathed a sigh of relief; the family crisis was finally resolved.
After a while, Qin Feng said, “I asked you to stay here because I have something to tell you. When I returned to the Qin residence today, I was followed.”
“What?” Second Brother exclaimed.
Father raised an eyebrow.
Then Qin Feng explained the details of the situation.
“If it weren’t for Black Charcoal Head, I probably wouldn’t have known that I was being followed.”
“I’m not sure who the other party is right now, but I think it’s probably related to those who targeted the Qin family before.” Qin Feng analyzed.
“Big Brother, what should we do?” Second Brother asked worriedly.
“I’m not worried about the family, after all, Liu Jianli usually practices at the Lakeside Pavilion and won’t move around casually.”
“With her strength, protecting the safety of the Qin residence is a breeze. The only concern is the potential threat to those who leave the mansion.”
“At present, the identity of the opposing party is still unclear. The enemy is in the dark, while we are in the light. Therefore, we must be extra careful when we go out.”
“Second Brother, you have now reached the fifth level of Divine Martial Arts, and ordinary people are no match for you.”
“As for me, I have reached the sixth stage of Fate Divination Realm. I don’t have enough ability to kill enemies, but I still have some ability to protect myself. Ningshuang will always be by my side, so I don’t have to worry too much. The main concern is our father.”
Upon hearing this, both Qin Feng and Qin An looked at their father.
The latter’s expression was frozen: “You two brats, why are you looking at me like that?”
“Father, I am not criticizing you, but without cultivation, you tend to go out unnecessarily, making it easy for enemies to find your weaknesses.”
“In the future, whenever you leave the mansion, have Xing Sheng or Second Brother accompany you to prevent any unforeseen circumstances.” Qin Feng advised seriously.
“Yes, Father, if you need to go out, be sure to inform us,” Second Brother added with concern.
Qin Jian’an opened his mouth as if to say something, but stopped himself. Finally, he reluctantly nodded.
“Father, please refrain from flirting with other women in the future. Don’t make Mother worry,” Second Brother added.
“I told you, it’s all your mother’s groundless fuss!”
“But Big Brother said that Green Orange…”
While listening to the conversation between his father and second brother, Qin Feng looked outside.
The sky had already shown a hint of dawn, but his mood remained as heavy as the night.
‘Today, I have to go to the Demon Slaying Department. If it goes smoothly, they might be able to secretly protect our family’s safety.’
Invisible threats are the most dangerous; being overly cautious is never enough, Qin Feng thought to himself.
On the other side, inside the Divine Workshop, in the busy refining room, Elder Yuan along with Gong Liang and Huo Yuan were busy with something.
On the stone platform in the refining room, black spherical iron balls were scattered everywhere, and many of them had white papers attached to them with red writing on them.
These black iron balls were the explosives they had made according to the ideas Qin Feng had given them earlier.
The red writings detailed the reasons why the explosives failed.
Some failed because there wasn’t enough gunpowder to ignite, while others failed because the outer walls of the iron balls were too thick and the explosive force couldn’t break through, resulting in a lower lethality.
“Elder Yuan, try this one again,” Huo Yuan threw an iron ball and said.
Gong Liang hastily caught the iron ball and handed it to Elder Yuan, reprimanding, “Be careful, what if it explodes!”
The power of the gunpowder displayed that day was still vivid in his mind.
“We’ve been working day and night, without any success. It’s not that easy to make it explode.” Huo Yuan said casually.
As soon as he finished speaking, a loud boom echoed.
The two of them looked around and saw fire glowing inside the golden ball of energy. The black iron ball from before had long since disappeared.
“Did it work?!”
