Dual Cultivation: A Carefree Journey Through Another World, the Empress Falls into My Hands

"treasure?"

Chu Yunfan raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself:

"I've been in this valley for half a month, wandering around everywhere. Where would I find any treasure?"

Just as Chu Yunfan was filled with doubt.

An annoying voice suddenly rang out:

"Qianqian, treasure hunting is a serious matter. Don't bring just any Tom, Dick, or Harry along!"

Upon hearing the voice, Chu Yunfan immediately turned his head to look.

The one who opened the mouth was a young man behind the girl.

The young man had fair skin and a fringe on his hair, and held a folding fan, looking every bit the playboy.

Chu Yunfan could tell what kind of person this was at a glance, so he said:

"Young lady, if you're out treasure hunting, bringing a treasure-hunting rat is enough. There's no need to bring a dog, especially a barking one. It might damage your image!"

The girl was about to reprimand the young man when she heard Chu Yunfan's words and immediately started giggling.

"Young master, you have a rather amusing way of speaking!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yunfan smiled and said:

"The girl is also an interesting person."

However, there's no need for treasure hunting.

I've been a professional dog killer for twenty years. Whenever I see a dog, I get excited and can't resist the urge to eat it.

To avoid putting the young lady in a difficult position, I shall take my leave now!

After saying that, Chu Yunfan turned and walked out of the valley.

He had already realized that the girl's treasure-hunting rat was only a first-tier demon beast.

In other words, this treasure-hunting rat is only sensitive to first-tier treasures and can at most find some ordinary second-tier treasures.

Given Chu Yunfan's current wealth, treasures of this caliber no longer hold much appeal for him.

Moreover, the girl was accompanied by a powerful expert at the peak of the Martial Master realm.

He didn't need to fight with the other party for such a small thing, thus putting himself in danger.

As the girl watched Chu Yunfan leave, a deep sense of regret immediately appeared in her eyes.

Moreover, being rejected by Chu Yunfan twice in a row from going treasure hunting left the girl feeling somewhat disappointed.

Just then, the young man behind the girl suddenly spoke:

"stop!

"You just leave like that? Did I say you could leave? Who were you calling a dog just now?"

"Even a dog knows who it's calling a dog!"

A faint voice came from outside the valley, and Chu Yunfan continued walking out without looking back.

Upon hearing this, the young man instantly flew into a rage and said to the middle-aged man beside him:

"Uncle Wolf, bring that kid back to me. I'm going to teach him a lesson for daring to insult me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the middle-aged man moved and instantly appeared behind Chu Yunfan.

Judging by this speed, this person is clearly a Martial Master level expert.

However, just as the middle-aged man reached out to grab Chu Yunfan's shoulder, a flash of sword light suddenly appeared.

Immediately afterwards, the middle-aged man's body froze in place, his right hand still hovering in mid-air, maintaining the same posture as before.

Chu Yunfan, however, acted as if nothing had happened and continued walking forward.

He was practicing his sword in the valley when the other party suddenly barged in, disturbing him.

But not only did the other party not apologize, the young man also spoke rudely, which made Chu Yunfan even angrier.

Originally, considering that the other party had a peak Martial Master, he decided to let the matter drop after a couple of verbal rebuttals.

Unexpectedly, the other party went too far and even tried to teach him a lesson, truly taking him for a fool.

Therefore, upon sensing someone approaching from behind, Chu Yunfan did not hesitate to draw the Wind Spirit Sword and kill the opponent with a single blow.

However, because the Wind Spirit Sword was so sharp, the wounds on the middle-aged man's body were almost invisible.

Therefore, the young people behind him had not yet noticed anything unusual about the middle-aged man.

However, the middle-aged man's continued outstretched hand gesture and his standing still aroused their suspicion.

Immediately, the young man shouted loudly from behind:

"Uncle Wolf, what are you daydreaming about? Hurry up and catch him!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the middle-aged man's life force finally dissipated completely, and his body could no longer support him as he collapsed to the ground.

The middle-aged man never imagined that he, a dignified early-stage Martial Master, would be instantly killed by a young man at the sixth stage of the Martial Beginning Realm with a single sword strike.

Of course, this was partly due to Chu Yunfan's swift action and partly due to his underestimation of his opponent.

He never expected that Chu Yunfan would suddenly strike.

Otherwise, even if Chu Yunfan could kill him, it wouldn't be that simple.

The young man behind him was stunned when he saw the middle-aged man fall to the ground.

At this moment, the old man at the peak of the Martial Master realm next to the girl was the first to react. He moved and came to the middle-aged man's side.

"died."

The old man's calm voice startled the young man, who immediately ran over.

Upon arriving, the young man noticed that the middle-aged man lying on the ground had bloodstains on his chest.

The bloodstains were located right where the heart was.

At this moment, a look of panic finally appeared on the young man's face.

The young man's name was Lin Wushuang, and he was the grandson of Lin Xiangnan, the eldest elder of the Lin family.

Because the head of the Lin family, Lin Tianya, the father of the girl Lin Qianqian in front of him, had his prestige gradually decline due to poisoning a few years ago, and Lin Tianya only had one daughter, Lin Qianqian.

Therefore, Elder Lin Xiangnan coveted the position of family head.

However, to avoid gossip from other family members, Lin Xiangnan sent his son Lin Wushuang to get close to Lin Qianqian, intending for Lin Wushuang to win Lin Qianqian's heart.

Because Lin Qianqian had an excellent figure and stunning looks, Lin Wushuang agreed without hesitation.

That's why he came out with Lin Qianqian this time.

The middle-aged man was the one Lin Xiangnan sent to protect Lin Wushuang.

But Lin Wushuang never expected that the middle-aged man would hang there as soon as she stepped out.

At this moment, Lin Wushuang was filled with panic.

After a moment, as if suddenly remembering something, he turned to the old man beside him and called out:

"What are you still standing there for? Go and arrest them!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was met with a cold snort from the old man.

Immediately afterwards, the old man released the powerful aura of a peak Martial Master, pressing the young man down so hard that he sat down on the ground.

"I am only responsible for protecting Miss. If you dare to use that tone with me again, I will not be so polite!"

The old man's voice was icy cold, containing a faint killing intent, which immediately frightened the young man so much that he sat on the ground, his face pale, and dared not utter a word.

After a moment, the old man continued:

"This person is a disciple of the Qingyun Sword Sect. If you still can't recognize a great man with your dog eyes, then you can wait for someone else to collect your corpse!"

After saying this, the old man turned to Lin Qianqian and said:

"Miss, let's go treasure hunting!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Qianqian paused for a moment before nodding and continuing to walk into the valley.

At the same time, she became even more curious about Chu Yunfan.

"Who exactly is he?"

Cold-blooded, ruthless, and capable of killing people above his level—it seems pretty cool.

"I wish my future husband would be like him!"

At this moment, the girl's thoughts drifted far and wide, lost in a jumble of ideas.
