Now reading: Chapter 75 Good Wife (Seeking to Follow with a Second Update from Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World, a Fantasy novel by Listening to Snow in the Dark Night.

Han Lu, who had been squinting his eyes and enjoying the tenderness of his beauty, slowly opened his eyes and glanced at the woman in the red dress with a sly smile.

"Madam Du, why are you so interested in news about the Silver Fox?"

The woman in the red dress was none other than Madam Du Jiangbo, Li Yan’s elder sister, Li Yu.

Li Yu froze for a mont, then forced a smile and said:

"I’ve always heard that the Silver Fox’s fur is exceptionally smooth and soft, even finer than the finest silk. I was simply curious~~"

She clung to Han Lu’s thick arm, acting coy.

Han Lu sneered and roughly threw her off. Li Yu’s delicate arm struck the side of the carriage wall, her face twisted in pain, and an expression of sorrow and fear erged.

"Lord Han, you..."

Han Lu turned around, gripping Li Yu’s chin with his massive hand and pinching forcefully, ignoring her look of suffering. He sneered coldly:

"You aren’t curious about the Silver Fox’s fur. You want to find out about the killer who murdered your dead brother, don’t you?"

"Li Yu, you’ve got so nerve! Using like this? So, that’s why you sched your way into my bed! How amusing! What’s next? If it turns out my Black Sand Gang killed your brother, you think you’d co for , Lord Han?"

Han Lu’s grip on her chin tightened, causing Li Yu’s face to turn pale as she struggled to breathe, a suffocating pressure enveloping her.

She knew her little ploy had deeply displeased Han Lu.

Li Yu hurriedly begged, her voice choked with tears:

"Lord Han... I—I’d never have such thoughts. I only seek the truth—not to trouble you over such minor matters."

"If... if Lord Han doesn’t believe , then feel free to crush to death."

Li Yu closed her eyes, tears streaming down her cheeks uncontrollably, her charming face tinged with an air of pity.

"You truly believe I couldn’t kill you?" Han Lu asked coldly.

Li Yu kept her eyes shut, letting tears fall, her head tilted as if prepared to et her death.

Suddenly.

Han Lu’s anger vanished, replaced by laughter.

"My dear Yu’er, how could I bear to do such a thing to you? You’re my precious darling—far better than those vulgar won at Spring Wind Building. Co, let see if I hurt you just now."

Li Yu couldn’t help but shudder at the sudden change in deanor, a chill creeping into her heart.

She forced a smile and coyly replied:

"Lord Han, I knew you’d treat best. Yu’er truly didn’t an to deceive you..."

Han Lu waved his hand dismissively:

"Don’t bring up the past anymore. In the future, handle things with directly. I hate going in circles. If anyone else had pulled a stunt like you did just now, they’d already be dead from a single slap!"

Li Yu nodded repeatedly, obediently leaning against Han Lu and softly saying:

"Yu’er understands... Then..."

Han Lu patted Li Yu’s back and slowly continued:

"I looked into it. Last year, so brothers from the gang went into the mountains to hunt the Silver Fox but were unsuccessful. As for your brother, they said they never crossed paths with him."

Li Yu’s spirits lifted.

"This... so was my brother killed by soone else then?"

Han Lu replied nonchalantly:

"Either way, I trust my n wouldn’t dare lie to . As for your brother, he might’ve been eaten by wild beasts or killed by soone else going into the mountains. Who knows?"

Li Yu clung carefully to Han Lu’s arm and pleaded:

"Lord Han, he’s my only brother. When I was gravely ill as a child, he risked his life to search for herbs in the mountains for . If not for him, I wouldn’t be here today to et you..."

"He must’ve been murdered! I can’t let him die without justice. Please, Lord Han, help . I’ll do anything you ask!"

Han Lu didn’t imdiately agree but leaned back onto the comfortable cushions with his eyes half-closed.

Li Yu, seeing this, imdiately lowered her stance with tact.

"Lord Han~~"

She called out softly, the earlier conflict leaving her shaken, not daring to be impudent anymore.

Han Lu slowly said:

"It’s already been over half a year since it happened in the mountains; it’ll be tough to uncover. Let’s take our ti—Lord Han will keep an eye out for you. But in the anti..."

Han Lu decided to investigate slowly.

First, the long passage of ti and the mountain location made it difficult to trace.

Second, this was an excellent way to make Li Yu willingly subservient. Han Lu knew from experience that an eager woman was the best kind of woman. After a while, he’d throw her a little reward to whet her appetite. If she pleased him enough, finding a few lowlifes with grudges against Li Yan to take the bla would suffice.

Li Yu’s eyes lit up, her voice sweet:

"During this ti, I promise to make Lord Han as comfortable as possible. If you wish, I could stay by your side all the ti..."

Han Lu raised his large hand and let out a licentious laugh:

"No need for that. Just be a good Madam Du. When I visit Li’s Manor, simply ensure you serve well."

"As for Du Jiangbo, the coward, he won’t trouble you—you can relax."

Li Yu felt bitter inside but obediently nodded on the surface, leaning against Han Lu and saying:

"I’ll do whatever Lord Han says~~"

Han Lu nodded, satisfied.

A commotion stirred.

The caravan from Li’s Manor entered the city, and Han Lu left with his Black Sand Gang companions, appearing content. Li Yu’s forrly gentle and obedient expression gradually turned cold. She clenched her fists tightly, feeling the pain of her fingernails digging into her palms.

The faint scornful gazes around her—she ignored them entirely.

As for whatever implications these rumors might have for Du Jiangbo, she cared even less. Ever since Du Jiangbo began to avoid her, her affection for him had cooled.

Han Lu exploited her as a toy while Du Jiangbo didn’t even have the courage to say a word.

"Xiao Yan, your revenge—sister will personally avenge you!"

A strange ferocity glead in Li Yu’s eyes.

She closed her eyes, seemingly recalling the little boy who had cautiously brewed dicine for her as she lay bedridden. Tears rolled down her face unwittingly.

...

The Gu’s Manor caravan moved steadily along.

The group remained vigilant; while Han Lu’s remarks seed like jest, if they ca true, it would an bloodshed.

Fortunately, this trip had been smooth and uneventful.

Before nightfall.

The procurent caravan arrived safely at Gu’s Manor. From a distance, they spotted the familiar estate, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a wave of safety.

Gu Sheng felt the sa.

He watched Gu Jingang and others head toward the manor’s main house, while he returned ho himself.

This smooth and uneventful trip pleased Gu Sheng. After two consecutive trips, he had nearly morized the route.

Still, for safety’s sake, he planned to make a few more trips with the manor’s team as his strength increased slightly before considering traveling alone.

This way, his actions would remain more discreet.

"It’s best to master the Shapeshifting Technique to the point I can alter my face slightly before attempting this—that’s the safest approach."

Gu Sheng delivered the money earned from selling Gu Erniu’s pelts. Gu Erniu insisted on giving Gu Sheng a portion as commission, but Gu Sheng declined.

It was just a convenient favor, and a commission wasn’t necessary.

Gu Erniu glanced at Gu Wan playing with the rattle drum Gu Sheng had brought as a gift. He then looked at Gu Sheng’s departing figure, quietly storing away his gratitude.

Over the next few days.

Gu Sheng returned to his previous training routine, adding a new practice—Shapeshifting Technique!

Four days later.

Gu Sheng excitedly opened his martial progress panel.
