How did I, a mere son-in-law lying down, become a "Fenglang Juxu" (a legendary martial art

The apology was utterly insincere, but Liu Shan couldn't hold a grudge. He looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle and shouted arrogantly, "Get lost."

Although Zhang Tienan was resentful, he managed to keep his mouth shut after seeing the look in Li Wanqing's eyes.

Zhao Tingxiao was clearly more pragmatic, nodding and bowing obsequiously, saying with a fawning smile, "I'll get out now, I'll get out right away."

After the brief incident, Liu Shanming asked, feigning ignorance, "Why did you beat them up?"

Li Wanqing said haughtily in a low voice, "My husband, even if he is utterly useless, will not be allowed to be mocked by them. Do they even deserve to?"

Liu Shan nodded. Just as he expected, Li Wanqing was quite clear-headed when it came to matters of principle.

For the first time, he felt that the wife he had married wasn't so bad after all.

Upon arriving at the hunting grounds, Li Wanqing busied herself directing everyone to set up a temporary camp, while Liu Shan took the lead in doing the same.

Because of his extensive camping experience, Liu Shan often had unique insights into setting up temporary campsites, which made Li Wanqing look at him with new respect once again.

Soon, with everyone's joint efforts, the temporary camp was set up.

A campfire burned in the center of the camp, and realgar powder was scattered around the perimeter. In Liu Shan's view, this camp was enough to drive away most snakes, insects, and small animals.

The only drawback was that the campsite was set up rather hastily. The surrounding environment was not observed beforehand, and no search was conducted for the tracks, droppings, or nests of large wild animals nearby.

However, he felt that the problem shouldn't be too big, since everyone would come here to hunt every six months, and they would almost always choose this place to set up temporary camps.

So Liu Shan turned his attention to the young master and young lady who were starting to discuss the hunting rules.

More than a dozen second-generation members of military families participated in this hunt.

Among these people, the leader was naturally Li Wanqing, while Zhao Tingxiao and Zhang Tienan were the ones who disagreed.

In Liu Shan's eyes, these two were complete idiots who never learned their lesson.

After agreeing on the hunting rules, the group eagerly spurred their horses and charged off in twos and threes.

Because this place is on the outskirts of the hunting grounds and is relatively close to the official road, large wild animals rarely appear here. Therefore, the bold and reckless young men, relying on their experience with swords and knives, do not take the wild animals here seriously at all.

At the same time, Li Wanqing instantly became serious. She reined in her horse, glanced at Liu Shan, and said, "Aren't you going to mount your horse quickly?"

Liu Shan mounted his old horse and followed behind Li Wanqing, walking leisurely.

Li Wanqing was anxious, afraid that someone else would snatch the prey, and turned around several times to urge him on.

Liu Shan shrugged helplessly. He wanted to go faster, but the old horse under his saddle was too steady and its pace was always unhurried.

Li Wanqing didn't know the reason was with Lao Ma. She wanted to scold him, but her best friend was right beside her. In front of outsiders, she would always give Liu Shan some face.

I won't say things that make people look down on me for no reason.

Li Wanqing kept quiet, but her two best friends couldn't help but slow down and ride alongside Liu Shan.

Liu Shan recognized the two girls. The one in the blue dress on the left was Lin Nanjia, and the one in the pink dress on the right was Wei Xiuying. They were both Li Wanqing's good friends.

Unlike the capital, Cangzhou has a more open and open culture. Moreover, the two women come from military families, unlike the sheltered young ladies of noble families. They are also close to Li Wanqing, so they speak and act without restraint. When facing Liu Shan, they speak wildly and without any fear.

"Sister's virginity mark is still there! Sister is so beautiful, how could you resist, brother-in-law? Do you have some kind of hidden ailment, like impotence?"

"I've heard that erectile dysfunction is a disease that requires a doctor. You men should not be afraid to seek medical help."

The two girls chattered back and forth, making Li Wanqing blush. She scolded them in a coquettish voice, "What nonsense are you two unmarried girls spouting? Shut up, or I'll tear your mouths off."

Despite their best friend's "threat," the two girls remained cheerful and unconcerned.

"Sister, don't just talk big. We're not easily intimidated. If you've got the guts, come and tear us apart."

"Yes, come on, come on."

Li Wanqing was both angry and helpless.

Although her two best friends were both daughters of military officers, they had never wanted to learn martial arts since childhood and were both weak and spoiled young ladies. Li Wanqing naturally couldn't bring herself to be rough with them.

Seeing that Li Wanqing had been "dealt with," Lin Nanjia pursed her lips and looked at Liu Shan thoughtfully. "Brother-in-law, were you impotent from birth, or did you become impotent later due to illness? Have you consulted a doctor?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Xiuying's eyes suddenly filled with sympathy for Liu Shan.

"Don't worry too much, just get treatment if you're sick. I have a really good doctor here..."

Seeing that the two girls were still insisting on the issue of "doctors," Liu Shan decided to take the opportunity to say, "Speaking of doctors, I do have a story about doctors that I'd like to tell you two girls."

Lin Nanjia and Wei Xiuying were both sixteen or seventeen years old. They were born in ancient times when entertainment was extremely scarce, so listening to operas, songs, and storytelling were their favorite pastimes.

Seeing that there was a story to tell, the two immediately fell silent.

Upon seeing this, Liu Shan cleared his throat and began to tell the story vividly.

"This is a poignant love story between a snake spirit who has cultivated herself into human form and a doctor... There was once a doctor named Xu Xuan, the youngest of two children, who lost both his parents at a young age. He was kind, honest, and kind-hearted, and was only twenty-two years old. One day, while Xu Xuan was doing business in his shop, he saw a monk come to the door..."

Two naive young girls were instantly captivated by the enchanting story.

Even Li Wanqing seemed to have slowed down, no longer in a hurry to travel.

Just as Liu Shan was getting into the middle of his story, a loud bang, like the roar of a bull, suddenly came from deep in the mountains, followed by a violent earthquake.

The unexpected turn of events terrified the group, and also startled their horses, causing them to become extremely agitated.

Liu Shan, Lin Nanjia, and Wei Xiuying were instantly thrown off the horse and fell heavily to the ground.

Li Wanqing was slightly stronger than the other three, but only by a very limited margin; she was barely managing to avoid being thrown off by the panicked horses.

After a short while, everything around finally returned to calm.

By this time, the panicked horses had long since disappeared, and Lin Nanjia and Wei Xiuying were sitting on the ground, patting their chests, looking completely shaken.

Wei Xiuying asked with some surprise, "An earth dragon turning over?"

Lin Nanjia was also somewhat uncertain, "It does resemble the description in the book."

Only Li Wanqing, riding on horseback, affirmed, "This is the earth dragon turning over."

Liu Shan scratched his head. This was what modern people call an earthquake.
