The Dominance of the Son-in-Law: My Wealthy and Beautiful Wife

Chapter 381 - 381: Heavenly Water Pearl!

"..."

Old Village Chief, Granny Hu, and others were stupefied, with wide eyes and open mouths, too shocked to utter a word.

They had never imagined that Master Guo would actually kneel before Qin Feng.

Nor had they expected that Qin Feng was really the new behind-the-scenes owner of Hundred Herbs Hall.

Even Ai Yeqing was extremely astonished.

Only now did she realize that Qin Feng wasn't just putting on airs at Hundred Herbs Hall yesterday, but that everything he said was true.

"Alright, there's no time now, I have to get going."

Qin Feng waved his hand.

Master Guo and others thought he still wouldn't forgive them, so they hurriedly came forward to kneel and beg for mercy again.

Qin Feng, already annoyed, gave them a stern "Scram," and they finally made way.

He immediately followed the White Monkey toward the direction of the temple.

Master Guo and others, puzzled, scratched their heads and turned to ask Ai Yeqing, "Mrs. Qin, what is he in such a hurry to do?"

"Pfft!"

Ai Yeqing almost spat blood.

To be called "Mrs. Qin" was really beyond words.

But having kissed Qin Feng forcefully last night and insisting on staying in the same room with him, she couldn't explain it.

"Right, he seemed to be looking for someone who poisoned [people]."

Ai Yeqing muttered.

"Someone who poisoned? Could it be our lord's enemy?" Master Guo's brow furrowed, and he waved his hand to the people below, saying, "Come on, let's go take a look too!"

At this moment.

Old Village Chief, Granny Hu, and others, with one thought, immediately called out to Master Guo, almost gasping, "Master Guo, we, we can hardly hold on any longer, could you please give us the Elixir that could save our lives first?"

While speaking.

He was making eye signals to the others.

At this moment, the others also knelt down and pleaded, "Master Guo, we're almost out of strength, couldn't you save us first? For Little Ai's sake..."

There was no way.

They had offended Qin Feng too much just now.

Calling him a liar and wanting to drive him out of the village, who knew he was actually the new owner of Hundred Herbs Hall, so he definitely wouldn't save them.

It would be better to get the Elixir from Master Guo while he was away.

If he blamed them later, Ai Yeqing could help them.

"Right! Master Guo, save us first! We're nearly done for..."

Old Village Chief said again.

Seeing this, Master Guo, not knowing what had happened between them and Qin Feng before, also wanted to save them first to leave a good impression on Qin Feng.

But now, he was in a difficult position.

"This..."

He looked towards Ai Yeqing, spread his hands and said, "Mrs. Qin, I'm really sorry, the illness in your village, actually I can't do anything about it. We do produce many Elixirs, and I researched this illness before, but there's no cure..."

"Ah?"

Ai Yeqing was taken aback, "Really? Didn't they say at Hundred Herbs Hall before that if I married there, they would help?"

She was very puzzled.

This illness Qin Feng had previously described as very simple, not treating it as a serious disease.

And yet, he couldn't cope despite being from the mighty Hundred Herbs Hall.

Master Guo gave an awkward smile and said, "Didn't I say before that as long as you married my son, we would 'help,' but didn't promise a cure..."

"..."

Ai Yeqing's face turned livid with anger.

It turns out this guy had been playing word games all along, never intending to cure the village's illness.

Afraid of her getting angry, Master Guo immediately said, "Well then, I'll go see our lord first..."

Saying this, he led the four Great Elders and the Eight Great Guardians hurriedly towards Qin Feng's direction.

Ai Yeqing followed them too.

Leaving Old Village Chief, Granny Hu, and other villagers in despair.

Now that even Hundred Herbs Hall couldn't cure them, the only hope left was Qin Feng.

But they had just insulted Qin Feng...

On the other side.

Qin Feng followed the White Monkey to the front of the temple.

He saw the previous temple guardian lying on the ground, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.

Qin Feng then went further inside.

Suddenly, they saw the enormous Buddha statue with its eyes closed, apparently triggered by someone!

Following the White Monkey inside for a search.

Indeed.

The huge Buddha statue had been moved a meter.

Beneath the statue was an entrance.

At this moment, Master Guo and others, along with Ai Yeqing, also arrived and followed Qin Feng into the cave.

Once inside the cave.

Qin Feng suddenly realized.

This place was enormous.

It was like another world, extremely vast!

Around the cave, some torches were lit, likely by those who had entered earlier.

After walking in the cave for a while, they encountered a pool of water ahead.

"My lord, I'll go ahead and check if there's a path on the other side," Hall Master Chen said.

He immediately stepped on the lake surface, heading to the other side.

But who knew.

Just less than three steps after touching the water, a very bizarre looking Fish Beast with extremely sharp teeth emerged from under his feet and snapped its jaws at Hall Master Chen.

Fortunately, as a Half-step Master, Hall Master Chen sensed the danger, and with a leap, he retreated back to safety.

"These Fish Beasts must be over a hundred years old, they have Evil Qi."

Hall Master Chen said, frowning.

"Being able to live here for a hundred years, and coupled with the terrain Array I deduced earlier, there must be some treasures inside!" Qin Feng speculated.

"..."

Everyone was somewhat troubled.

Although Hall Master Chen and several elders were all Half-step Master Grandmasters with immense strength.

Yet, they were no match for those Fish Beasts in the water.

"Let me do it," Ai Yeqing said.

Following.

She walked to the edge of the lake, took a deep breath, gathered her strength in her palms, and pressed them against the surface of the water.

Soon, everyone saw numerous Fish Beasts gathering towards this side.

"Mrs. Qin, get out of the way quickly, those Fish Beasts are very fierce!"

Hall Master Chen shouted.

But Ai Yeqing didn't retreat and instead, harnessing her energy, she shouted, "Thunderstorm!"

Boom!!

The moment a Fish Beast bit her hand, her hand suddenly erupted into a ball of lightning!

Water conducts electricity.

The electricity spread quickly like a spider web across the entire lake, illuminating the whole cave!

"This is, this is shocking!"

Hall Master Chen and others widened their eyes in surprise. Upl$oaded by the *)- t^eam&.&

After Ai Yeqing stopped, dozens of huge Fish Beasts floated on the surface of the lake, scorched as if burnt, with smoke still emanating from their bodies.

"It's safe now, we can go down and search."

Ai Yeqing got up and said.

Hall Master Chen immediately arranged for two protectors to come over, saying, "You two, go into the lake and find the item our lord wants!"

The two protectors looked reluctantly at the Fish Beasts floating on the lake surface and said, "Hall Master, we are still a bit scared …"

"Nonsense, if you weren't scared, why would I need you? Hurry up!"

Hall Master Chen said.

The two protectors reluctantly went into the water.

A moment later.

The two came up to the surface with a faintly glowing bead, saying, "We found it, this thing looks strange and even glows, should this be it?"

Hall Master Chen took a look at it in his hands and immediately presented it with both hands to Qin Feng, saying, "My lord, is this what you were looking for?"

"Exactly!"

Qin Feng slightly furrowed his brows, observing the bead, and muttered, "If I'm not mistaken, this bead should be the 'Heavenly Water Pearl', the continuous drought affecting the entire village might be related to this."

"Related to it?"

Ai Yeqing said in surprise.

"Yes, this thing absorbs water heavily, probably a fish accidentally swallowed it decades ago and came to this region through an underground river, causing the village's severe drought."

Qin Feng observed the bead and said.
