The Crazy Son-In-Law

It is undeniable that medicinal pills can counteract any toxin in the world.

However, “Forbidden Gu Techniques” are not ordinary types of poison. After all, they act on the bloodline and are a kind of curse.

Xiao Shun couldn’t be sure if the medicine could suppress it.

Song Linger nodded in agreement, following her master’s instructions.

She still had some confidence in her alchemy skills and wanted to see for herself what the legendary Gu techniques were all about at the Song family.

Seeing that she no longer insisted on going with him to the mountains, Xiao Shun felt relieved and smiled, saying, “Xia Li and the others are still at Sundown Bazaar. You can take a taxi directly there later. I will inform them in advance.”

“Okay, Master, take care.”

With a sweet smile towards her master, Song Linger picked up her luggage and left.

After seeing her off, Xiao Shun felt that it was time for him to set off as well.

Heaverpool was still a distance away from the mountains, and he could only reach the mountain range by taking a car and then trekking through the jungle.

Setting off alone, he hailed a taxi and informed the driver of his destination.

Upon hearing the destination, the driver’s face lit up. This was a big business!

“Young man, you’re going quite far on this trip. A flat rate of one thousand dollars, pay me and we’ll go.”

Without hesitation, Xiao Shun took out ten bills from his pocket and handed them to the driver.

Taking the money, the driver counted it shrewdly before stepping on the gas pedal.

Five hours later.

The taxi arrived at the foot of a mountain range.

Looking around, all he could see were towering mountains covered in lush greenery.

After parking the car by the side of the road, the driver said helplessly, “I can only go this far. There’s no road ahead!”

Xiao Shun didn’t say anything and simply nodded before getting out of the car.

As soon as he got out of the car, a refreshing breeze greeted him, carrying a hint of grassy fragrance that invigorated his spirit.

“What a great place!” Xiao Shun exclaimed.

“Young man, be careful when you enter the mountains. There are many Meadowfolks here who are skilled in using Gu techniques. And remember…”

The kind-hearted driver reminded Xiao Shun of many things to be cautious about. He probably thought Xiao Shun was an outsider who came here for mountain tourism and wanted to give him some advance warning.

“Thank you, Master.”

Xiao Shun smiled and thanked the helpful driver before picking up his belongings and heading towards the nearby foothills.

The surroundings were desolate, with no sign of human presence at all at the vast foot of the mountain.

Xiao Shun sat down next to a huge rock and began planning his route in his mind.

According to his master’s map markings, he needed to head west from this entrance into the mountains to reach the spiritual vein deep within the mountains.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

After pondering for a moment, he slung his backpack over his shoulder and walked into the vast jungle.

Meanwhile…

Just over a kilometer behind Xiao Shun, two people dressed in white robes stopped their steps.

One tall and thin man said to his companion, “He has entered the mountains!”

“This bastard really intends to meddle with our Meadowfolk. We must report this to our young lord and chief as soon as possible!”

“Let’s split up. I’ll follow Xiao Shun with my Gu techniques while you go back and bring the news. We’ll ambush this bastard along the way!”

“Alright, be careful.”

With that said, they separated.

One person followed Xiao Shun into the mountains while the other quickly headed towards Silvermeadows Village.

On Xiao Shun’s side, he had already ventured deep into the jungle.

Although all he could see were trees everywhere, his direction had not changed; he continued walking westward.

As he walked on, he suddenly lifted his arm and sniffed it.

After a moment, Xiao Shun furrowed his brows and said, “Strange, why do I smell a faint scent on myself?”

He had actually smelled this scent yesterday but didn’t pay much attention to it then. He thought it was just remnants of poisonous mist on his body.

After taking a shower when he got back home, he immediately started studying “Fire Spirit Stone”.

Until today when he set off again did he notice this unusual scent on himself once more.

Pondering for a moment, he didn’t think too much about it. He assumed that Miao Ruohu’s poisonous mist was powerful enough to linger on him even without direct contact.

“I still need at least three days to reach the location marked by my master. If nothing unexpected happens, it might take six days round trip.”

Talking to himself, Xiao Shun began calculating in his mind.

There were still more than ten days left until the “Martial Arts Conference” in Ashford. In Meadowfolk alone, he would need at least a week’s time. Then he would have two or three days left to deal with the “Forbidden Gu Techniques” matter at Xia Family in Southeast Asia.

“Two days should be enough. As for Xia Li’s situation, it would be better to bring her back for treatment!”

Xiao Shun pondered.

With his current cultivation combined with Ghost Door Thirteen Needles technique, he was capable of completely removing any remaining Gu techniques from Xia Family’s bloodline. However, Xia Li’s situation was different due to her mutated Gu techniques. Xiao Shun needed time to figure out why she had mutated before he could start dealing with it.

Unconsciously, darkness fell upon them.

After walking for almost an afternoon, Xiao Shun still hadn’t walked out of this forest. It showed how vast this jungle was.

He wasn’t in a hurry to rush forward; three days’ worth of walking would be enough according to his pace.

Finding an open space at random, Xiao Shun sat down on the ground and took out some dry rations to eat.

On this same night in a corner of these mountains…

Inside a stilted building stood Miao Ruohu sitting on a chair. He looked up at one of his clan members who arrived covered in dust and cursed angrily, “Damn it! He really came to Heaverpool with ulterior motives!”

“Young Lord, Ah Fa is still tracking Xiao Shun. What should we do next?”

Hearing this, Miao Ruohu pondered for a moment before saying seriously, “With Xiao Shun’s cultivation level, I can’t do anything about him. But since he dares to come to Meadowfolk, my father and elders have ways to deal with him!”

Having said that, he didn’t waste any more time and went straight to another large house in the village.

This house was not like typical mud houses or stilted buildings found in Meadowfolk; it was a clean two-story structure.

Inside lived Miao Xiuyun, the chief of Silvermeadows tribe, and also Miao Ruohu’s father.

“Dad!”

Arriving at the door, Miao Ruohu didn’t dare intrude without permission, as he knew very well what kind of Gu techniques were set up inside his father’s house.

Soon after, a vigorous voice came from inside.

“Come in!”

After receiving this response, Miao Ruohu dared push open door and walked inside.

Miao Xiuyun was playing with a black small pottery jar while sitting in a pavilion within their courtyard.

It was unclear what material this jar was made of, but it was as black as ink. At first glance, it gave people an inexplicable chill.

Why did Dad take this thing out today?

Swallowing hard, Miao Ruohu quickly walked towards his father.

“Why did you come so late?”

Miao Xiuyun played with the jar without turning around, asking casually.
