After being forced into a marriage of convenience, a master of metaphysics manipulates a cold and al

"Young master, young master, what kind of vegetables do you want to grow?"

Watching Qin Wanqing leave in a huff, Shen Lu, who was already used to it, moved closer to Ye Bai, her big eyes wide open, and asked with a blank expression.

"Well, these are all vegetables that are very good for your health, but you can't buy them in the market. If I had to define them... I'd call them 'wild vegetables'."

Ye Bai thought for a moment and then said.

"...Is my son-in-law trying to fool me again? Aren't there plenty of wild vegetables on the mountain?"

Shen Lu pursed her lips, as if to say, "Although I'm not very smart, I'm not easily fooled either."

"The wild vegetables on the mountain are not as delicious as those grown by your son-in-law."

Ye Bai smiled and rubbed the little girl's head, but said nothing more, deliberately keeping her in suspense.

When he returned from the mountains, he brought some seeds with him. These were unique varieties found deep in the forests, and in a sense, they also belonged to the category of Chinese medicinal herbs.

However, its medicinal properties are very weak and it has no toxicity, making it suitable for long-term consumption.

Most importantly, it tastes great.

When Ye Bai used to eat this every day in the mountains, he always complained that his mouth was so bland it tasted like birds, and he was very disgusted by it.

But after eating too much rich and fatty food, he actually missed the light and refreshing taste.

"Young master, do you think I can beat that big iron hammer?"

Ye Bai's tactic of deliberately keeping Shen Lu in suspense was clearly not very effective. The little girl's brain was too small, and she quickly shifted her attention to other things.

"What big iron hammer?"

Ye Bai was somewhat confused and didn't understand what Shen Lu was saying.

"That's Zhu Daji's bodyguard, the really tall and strong one!"

Shen Lu explained using gestures.

"...You mean that iron hammer?"

Ye Bai finally realized, and then shook his head decisively, saying, "You can't beat him."

Although he had never seen Iron Hammer make a move, based on his years of experience and keen observation, Zhu Daji's bodyguard must have practiced hard qigong similar to the Golden Bell Cover Iron Shirt or the Thirteen Taibao Horizontal Training.

The most prominent characteristic of people who practice this kind of hard qigong is that they are exceptionally resilient; to put it bluntly, they are tough and durable.

To inflict damage on an opponent using only fists and feet without using a weapon, one must possess astonishing strength.

If the force is insufficient, hitting the other person is no different from tickling them.

Shen Lu's kung fu is indeed quite good. Moreover, because she has practiced martial arts since childhood and the Qin family found her masters who are all experts, she can be considered one of the best in terms of explosive power.

But she is still a little girl, and is naturally much weaker in terms of strength.

It's impossible to break through the hammer's defenses.

On the contrary, Iron Hammer's physique also gave him terrifying strength.

If she were hit, Shen Lu wouldn't just cry for a long time; at the very least, she would be knocked unconscious.

In severe cases, it could even lead to immediate death!

"I also feel like I can't win... What should I do?!"

Shen Lu's face was filled with frustration, and she sighed with a worried expression.

"...Why do you always want to fight with him? What did he do to you?"

Ye Bai was a little confused. Although Tie Chui was not talkative and always looked fierce, he was obviously not the kind of guy who liked to cause trouble or bully people.

"I have a feeling that there will inevitably be a fierce battle between Miss and the Great Fairy sooner or later, and that big iron hammer will be my greatest opponent!"

Shen Lu waved her little fist, looking like she knew everything.

"...Lulu, let's watch less TV and scroll through fewer short videos in the future."

Ye Bai sighed, feeling exhausted.

This generation of children has been severely brainwashed by the internet.

The jumbled thoughts in their minds are even more numerous than those of adults.

"Young master, young master, can you beat that big iron hammer?"

Shen Lu completely ignored Ye Bai's advice, blinked her big eyes, and asked curiously.

When Ye Bai first came to the Qin family, Shen Lu thought that this son-in-law was the kind of pretty boy who couldn't even kill a chicken.

But some things that happened later made her realize that Ye Bai also knew kung fu, and seemed to be quite skilled at it.

The most obvious example of this was not long ago when she encountered a thug demanding high interest rates downstairs at Shen Zhu's house.

That guy named Chen Daguang was almost slapped to death by Ye Bai; Shen Lu was far from being able to match that kind of amazing strength.

From that day on, she became convinced that her son-in-law definitely knew kung fu.

But she didn't tell anyone, intending to keep it as a little secret between herself and her son-in-law.

Judging from the son-in-law's various actions, he clearly doesn't like people knowing these things.

The little girl isn't particularly bright, but she's not really stupid either.

However, since it was just her and her son-in-law here, she could ask questions without any reservations.

"Me? It's hard to say..."

Ye Bai thought about it for a moment, but he wasn't quite sure.

He had never actually tried whether a single punch could kill a guy as strong as an ox who had also practiced hard qigong.

Moreover, he didn't know exactly how far Iron Hammer's hard qigong had progressed.

Although many people practice this skill, the results vary from person to person due to factors such as talent.

"...Alright, then it seems that in terms of military strength, the Zhu family will have the upper hand over our Qin family."

Shen Lu's face was filled with disappointment; of course, she had no idea what Ye Bai was thinking.

"No way. I think your potential is even better than that big guy's. If you train hard for a few years, you might become even more amazing."

Ye Bai smiled and comforted the little girl.

"Then, sir, do you have a way to make me even more powerful?"

Shen Lu's big eyes lit up, clearly she was completely determined to outdo Tie Chui, and she was unwilling to give up until she could gain the upper hand.

"Yes, but the process would probably be very painful."

Ye Bai nodded, and couldn't help but shudder as he recalled the days when he was "tortured" by the old Celestial Master.

Those are unbearable memories; that old man was so damn ruthless!

"That's great! Young master, I'm not afraid of hardship, please help me out!"

Shen Lu cheered and grabbed Ye Bai's arm, starting to wag and shake it affectionately.

After witnessing Ye Bai's superb horsemanship today, the little girl felt that her son-in-law was going further and further down the path of being deified, and thus she became more and more convinced of his abilities.

"Alright, let's go shopping for some things in the next couple of days."

Looking at Shen Lu's adorable oval face, which was full of hope, Ye Bai hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't bear to refuse.

In his opinion, Shen Lu's current skills were sufficient.

After all, this is a society governed by the rule of law, and there are violent agencies with firearms and law enforcement powers, so even the best kung fu skills are of little use.

Most importantly, the Qin family is a wealthy and powerful family, not a gangster family.

Fighting and killing are things you might not encounter even once a year, so there's absolutely no need to suffer like that.

But Ye Bai is soft-hearted and can't stand seeing silly Lulu act cute, so he can only give in to her.

However, he figured that once the little girl had suffered a setback, she would probably give up.
