Chapter 10

A beautiful woman can easily become a topic of lively conversation. The town of Luming was not very big, and for a woman like Fu Yuqing, who was outstanding, dressed in splendid attire, and exuded elegance, people naturally paid attention. Therefore, even before the small shop opened, almost everyone knew that this beautiful woman was the wife of the second young master, Zheng.

Seeing the second young master speaking to his wife like this, many people smiled and watched the scene unfold.

To most people, this was just a young couple flirting.

Fu Yuqing lifted her head and gave Zheng Ming a fierce look. After a moment of hesitation, she still walked over with a light step, holding a large bowl.

"Drink it!" She placed the bowl heavily in front of Zheng Ming and turned to leave.

Zheng Ming was about to say something when he heard Fu Yuqing's voice: "I am also skilled in massage. Would the second young master like to try?"

Her words were calm, but the moment they reached Zheng Ming's heart, he felt a cold sweat break out.

This strange woman, it was best not to provoke her. Thinking of the killing aura emanating from Fu Yuqing, Zheng Ming swallowed his words.

Although he no longer provoked Fu Yuqing, after finishing the large bowl of congee, Zheng Ming couldn't help but give her a good review.

The congee was ordinary, but the taste was exceptionally good. Zheng Ming took a spoonful into his mouth, and it was pure, rich, and smooth.

Zheng Ming even felt that he could drink this congee every day for the rest of his life.

If such a woman could cook for him for the rest of his life, that would be quite nice!

...

On the main road leading to Luming Town, dozens of horses surrounded a carriage, racing toward the town like a gust of wind.

The one leading the way was a red-maned stallion, with a man on it who was over eight feet tall, his thick arms almost as slim as a young girl's waist.

The man's eyes were filled with savagery, making anyone who saw him feel an instinctive fear from the bottom of their heart.

"Up ahead is Luming Town, everyone, start running!" The man pointed his whip toward Luming Town, his voice filled with a chilling coldness.

"Ahu, how many years has it been since you last returned to Luming Town?" A soft, slightly effeminate voice came from the luxurious carriage pulled by two horses.

On the black carriage, a roaring cloud leopard was carved.

The muscular man, who was like a fierce tiger, now seemed as gentle as a kitten. He bowed on his horse and said softly, "Reporting to the third elder, I have not returned to Luming Town for ten years."

"Zheng Hu, this time you are the master of Luming Town. You must treat the third elder and me well!" A boy of about fourteen or fifteen sat on a snow-white horse.

The boy was dressed in white, holding a folding fan, exuding a sense of elegance and charm.

Zheng Hu's eyes showed a hint of disdain for the boy, but his expression was even more respectful.

"Third young master, rest assured. Today, Zheng Hu will make sure the third elder and you are satisfied. I owe my return to Luming Town to the first elder and the third elder."

"Without the first elder and the third elder, there would be no Zheng Hu today! I am a rough man, not good with words, but please judge me by my actions!"

The boy chuckled, "Good, Zheng Hu, I did not misjudge you!"

From the carriage, a cold voice came, "Ahu, the first elder and I have high hopes for you. Zheng Gongxuan is seriously injured, so you can act freely."

"Thank you, both elders!" Zheng Hu's face showed great joy. He stared at the outline of Luming Town, trembling with excitement.

"Zheng Gongxuan, you never thought I, Zheng Hu, would return!"

The horses were like dragons, and the momentum was like a fierce wind.

Although they had already reached the town entrance, the speeding convoy roared past, even faster than before.

A few farmers entering the town hurried to avoid them, but they fell to the ground, and the vegetables and eggs on their backs scattered everywhere.

"Ha ha ha!"

"Filthy things, watch your step in the future!" A voice full of satisfaction, and a whip like a venomous snake, lashed out at a fallen man.

Although the man was strong, how could he compare to a martial artist? He was hit by the whip, and the intense pain made him cry out in agony.

The tattered cotton-padded jacket was torn by the hidden internal force in the whip, and the old cotton stuffing scattered instantly.

"This is Luming Town, please slow down your horses!" An angry voice came from the crowd.

At that moment, Zheng Hu, riding the red-maned stallion, leaped into the air, his fist striking the man who spoke.

The man who spoke clearly did not expect the speed of the attacker. Unable to dodge, he swung his fist to meet Zheng Hu's.

"Bang!"

At the moment of impact, Zheng Hu's body spun like a top and landed back on the red-maned horse, while the man who spoke was knocked to the ground.

A mouthful of blood spurted from the man's mouth.

"Zheng Dali, you have been fawning over that old man Zheng Gongxuan for so long, and your cultivation is still so poor, ha ha ha!" Zheng Hu laughed loudly from the red-maned horse.

Zheng Dali, at this moment, saw the face of the attacker. His eyes narrowed, and he shouted angrily, "Zheng Hu, you... you dare to return!"

"Ha ha ha, what do I have to fear? I am back now!" Zheng Hu's hair stood on end, his eyes cold and sinister. He waved his hand at the man behind him, "Zheng Dali has insulted the third elder's carriage, give him fifty lashes!"

"Third elder? Zheng Hu, this is Luming Town, you..." Zheng Dali's words were cut off as two men rushed forward and pinned him down. Another man with a whip raised his hand and struck Zheng Dali's head and face.

The people around Luming Town had already fled far away, and some faces showed fear.

Zheng Dali was the captain of the town's guards, often representing the face of the entire town.

To beat him without a word was to slap the face of the town's leader, Zheng Gongxuan.

"Zheng Hu is back, Zheng Hu is back!" A man in his thirties, after carefully examining Zheng Hu's face, ran into the town as if he were mad.

With this shout, the street, which had been bustling with people, suddenly became quiet. The crowd on the street dispersed like the wind, and many people hurried home. In just a few minutes, Luming Town was almost deserted.

Fu Yuqing, who was smiling and serving the guests, saw the empty street and raised her delicate eyebrows.

"Who is Zheng Hu?"

"Zheng Hu is... the biggest villain in Luming Town. My mother said that if it weren't for Lord Zheng Gongxuan driving him away, the entire... entire Luming Town would have been ruined by him. How... how did he come back!" Li Xiaoduo, while speaking, pulled Fu Yuqing and said, "Young lady, this... this Zheng Hu must be coming for Lord Zheng. Let's hide!"

Fu Yuqing's delicate eyebrows raised, and a cold killing intent surged from her body. But just as the killing intent was about to burst, she muttered to herself, "No, my master told me to experience the world, and I must not use sword techniques unless absolutely necessary."

The overwhelming sword intent disappeared instantly, but as Li Xiaoduo pulled her into the shop, Fu Yuqing coldly spat out four words:

"Son of a bitch!"

The fifty lashes were quick, but they turned the lively Zheng Dali into a half-dead man.

Lifting Zheng Dali, Zheng Hu led the carriage carrying the third elder toward the Zheng family residence.

"Bang!"

Zheng Hu's foot struck the gate of the town leader's residence, and the black-painted gate was thrown far away. Two servants who couldn't dodge in time were hit by the gate and screamed in pain.

"Zheng Hu, you scoundrel, you dare to come to Luming Town and cause trouble. Today, I will make sure you can't leave!" Zheng Gongxuan, accompanied by Zheng Heng, stared at Zheng Hu with a tight gaze.

Zheng Hu also glared at Zheng Gongxuan, his eyes filled with hatred: "Ha ha ha, Zheng Gongxuan, you are so arrogant. Do you think you can stop me?"

"I am telling you, I not only came, but I came openly! Today, I want the whole Luming Town to know that I, Zheng Hu, am back, and everyone who owes me will have to pay me back!"

Zheng Gongxuan did not speak. He stepped forward, and at this moment, he had no choice. Despite his injuries, he had to act.

"Zheng Gongxuan, what are you doing?" A calm voice came from the carriage, and a man in a black robe, not very tall, with a narrow face and unremarkable eyes, walked down from the carriage.

"Everyone says you are arrogant and tyrannical in Luming Town, and I didn't believe it. Today, I see that you, Zheng Gongxuan, are not just arrogant and tyrannical, but you have no respect for the family or me, the elder!"

Seeing this old man, Zheng Gongxuan's heart tightened.

"According to the family's decision, to ensure the safety of Luming Town, starting today, Zheng Hu will serve as the deputy town leader. During Zheng Gongxuan's recovery, he will be responsible for the management of the entire town!" The third elder walked to Zheng Gongxuan and said each word clearly.
