Chapter 3

"Big Sister, this is really a misunderstanding!" Looking at the woman walking behind him, who exuded an aura like a queen on a tour, Zheng Ming finally made up his mind.

He didn't know where this woman came from, but he couldn't bring trouble to his family. This woman's background was unknown, and there might be some dangerous situations behind her.

The woman looked at the young man rubbing his hands, and the smile in her eyes deepened. She said lightly, "Could it be that you, my husband, are going to abandon me after a brief affair?"

"Just treat it as if I abandoned you after a brief affair!" Zheng Ming gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.

The woman looked at Zheng Ming carefully and found that he spoke with a serious expression, not like he was faking it. Her evaluation of this young man rose a bit.

She had come down the mountain this time to break through the current constraints by engaging in worldly cultivation. Although she had traveled to many places, she still found it difficult to integrate into the mundane life.

However, the words Zheng Ming said when he stopped her sparked a bit of inspiration in her heart, making her see this as an opportunity that was about to happen to her.

"Usually, those who abandon after a brief affair will not end well!" The woman's voice was indifferent, but a thick killing intent enveloped Zheng Ming at that moment.

Under this killing intent, Zheng Ming felt his heart tremble.

He knew that there were such things as aura in this world. Although his father, Zheng Gongxuan, was the strongest person in Luming Town, he didn't have any aura.

But this woman, with just her aura, could make him tremble. It seemed that this time, he had really found a treasure!

Adhering to the principle that a wise man doesn't suffer immediate losses, Zheng Ming had to wave his hand at the woman and say, "How could I bear to abandon you, Big Sister? What I said just now was just a joke!"

"It was a joke, huh? You should avoid such jokes in the future, or I might not be able to control myself..." The woman didn't say what would happen if she couldn't control herself, but her chilling words made Zheng Ming's heart tremble.

The passersby in Luming Town all looked at the woman following behind Zheng Ming with admiring eyes, and some began to spread the news that the second son of the Zheng family had married a celestial beauty.

For a time, the saying that good deeds bring good rewards began to spread throughout the town.

The extremely depressed Zheng Ming found that his reputation value was still one, indicating that no one in the town, except for Master Wu Baxian, was afraid of him.

As for this journey of bullying and dominating, was it successful or not?

Looking at the woman walking leisurely behind him, Zheng Ming felt that he seemed to be the victim of this bullying and dominating.

"By the way, I haven't asked you your surname yet!" Seeing that they were about to reach his home, Zheng Ming turned his head and said to the woman.

"Fu Yuxing!" She replied with a light three words.

Luming Town was not very big, and the news of Zheng Ming picking up a celestial beauty as his wife spread faster than he could get home.

Before he even reached his doorstep, Zheng Ming saw his mother, Duan Yangying, standing at the door with his younger sister, Zheng Xiaoxuan, and a few servants.

And in Zheng Xiaoxuan's hand was a bamboo board three fingers wide.

This bamboo board was a prop that Duan Yangying used to scare Zheng Ming in the past. But looking at his mother's face, Zheng Ming felt a sense of foreboding.

Just as he was thinking about how to avoid this disaster, the eight-year-old Zheng Xiaoxuan had already skipped over to Fu Yuxing and said curiously, "Sister, are you my second sister-in-law? You are so beautiful. If I grow up to be half as beautiful as you, I would be happy."

Fu Yuxing, who had been full of aura when walking with Zheng Ming, now seemed like a different person, speaking softly like a young wife, "Your brother said he would marry me, so I should be your second sister-in-law! As for you, Xiaoxuan, I think you will definitely be more beautiful than me in the future."

Seeing Fu Yuxing's sudden change, Zheng Ming felt a wave of depression. But when he came out of his depression, he found that the three women at his doorstep, two adults and one child, were already chatting happily.

"You are a girl, and it's not good to travel alone. If you don't mind, stay at our house. Although our house is not as grand as others, we won't let you suffer."

Duan Yangying smiled and said to Fu Yuxing, "As for Zheng Ming's mischief, don't take it to heart! Of course, if you like my son, we can arrange things when he grows up."

Fu Yuxing, like a new bride, was taken away as the main character, leaving Zheng Ming in a mess.

Fortunately, as the head of the town, Zheng Gongxuan had taken Zheng Ming's older brother, Zheng Heng, and some guards to Qingchuan County to pay the annual tribute, so after passing Duan Yangying's test, no one said anything to Zheng Ming.

Lying on his bed, feeling the reputation value that was still one, Zheng Ming felt a bit dejected.

But then he consoled himself, no matter what, he had already broken through zero. If he had to, he could go and beat people tomorrow.

Beating up five people a day, he should be able to gather enough reputation value in a month.

The next morning, Zheng Ming didn't immediately go to complete his evil plan but first went to the small forest outside the town to practice martial arts.

Although his Bear Hug Technique had not improved in recent years, Zheng Ming had never stopped practicing it.

He performed the sixteen moves of the Bear Hug Technique very carefully, and his white forehead was eventually covered in sweat.

"Iron Bear Hits the Tree!" Zheng Ming's body collided heavily with a tree trunk as thick as a bowl, causing the branches to shake and leaves to fall sparsely.

At that moment, Zheng Ming felt a sharp pain in his body. But he ignored the pain and looked at the leaves that only fell slightly with a look of frustration.

If the Bear Hug Technique broke through to the second level, this collision would definitely shake all the leaves off the tree. If it broke through to the third level, he would generate internal strength and could split the tree in two with one collision!

"One day, I will stand at the top of this world!" Looking at the tree, Zheng Ming shouted loudly.

This shout expressed his frustration, his determination, and the persistence he had hidden behind his calm face for years!

"Even if you obtain the Nine-Dragon Golden Pill, you can only cultivate to the Seventh Rank Warrior at most. The top of the world is far from you!"

A calm voice came from Fu Yuxing, who appeared in a white dress not far from Zheng Ming. At that moment, although she had not combed her hair, she looked even more slender and graceful.

Although Zheng Ming had planned to keep his distance from Fu Yuxing, her words still stimulated him.

"What if I can stand at the top of the world?"

Looking into Zheng Ming's eyes, which were filled with unwavering determination, Fu Yuxing's heart wavered for a moment.

But she was not an ordinary person and quickly regained her composure. Thinking that she had been intimidated by a boy who wasn't even a warrior, she felt a bit more competitive: "Don't say you stand at the top of the world. If you can break through to the First Rank, I will really be your wife and take care of you!"

"Then you just wait to be my wife!" Zheng Ming's words were calm but full of confidence.

Fu Yuxing shook her head lightly. Although she admired Zheng Ming's confidence, the world was not as simple as having confidence alone.

"Youth is always poetic!" She said lightly, as if to herself, and then turned her head casually.

From Fu Yuxing's words, Zheng Ming could not hear any sarcasm or ridicule, only a sense of condescension.

Although Zheng Ming could not laugh at the rise and fall of the world, he could maintain his true self and not care about others' gossip.

He knew he was not a good person, but he was not a bad person either. He could do good deeds for the whole town to gain reputation points, and he could also beat up the fraudster Wu Baxian.

But this condescension and indifference made him feel a surge of anger. This anger was not just directed at Fu Yuxing but mostly turned into a sense of ambition.

I will definitely make this world know that I, Zheng Ming, will stand at the top of the world!

Without speaking to Fu Yuxing, Zheng Ming left the small forest. He had to raise his reputation points today!

Luming Town was still Luming Town, and the bustling morning market was still crowded with people.

But those who were about to greet Zheng Ming saw him and swallowed their greetings.

They felt that the usually kind second son of the Zheng family was now full of killing intent, giving off an aura of "don't mess with me."

"Wu Baxian, you old scoundrel, what did you say to the second son yesterday? How did a good person turn into this?" Wu Baxian, who was carefully swallowing the last mouthful of porridge, was suddenly grabbed by the collar and shouted at.

Seeing the restaurant owner, who looked like a mountain of meat, Wu Baxian felt like crying. Before he could explain, seven or eight more people surrounded him, all glaring at Wu Baxian.

Their looks suggested that if Wu Baxian didn't give an explanation, he wouldn't be able to leave the table today!

Tears were welling up in Wu Baxian's eyes. He had been beaten for no reason, and these foolish villagers were blaming him, the victim.

This was a great injustice!

Regardless of how Wu Baxian explained himself, Zheng Ming used his cold gaze to scan the people in the morning market.

He couldn't bring himself to hit women, and the men were too old. This one was quite strong, but he had always greeted him with a smile, and they were familiar. It wouldn't be right to just beat him up.

After rejecting one person after another, Zheng Ming found that he had already walked halfway down the only street in Luming Town.

No matter what, he had to choose a target!

To get his reputation points, he had to take the risk!

No, it's you, the townspeople, who have to make a sacrifice! Just as Zheng Ming made up his mind, a commotion came from ahead!
