"Your husband?" Xia Fei chuckled. "I'm afraid he won't be coming out for the rest of his life."
With that, he looked at Qin Fei. "Little Fei, let's go. We can let them handle things here. Later, I'll call another car to deliver the things over."
"Alright," Qin Fei nodded.
"Don't, don't leave!"
Liang Jiani panicked. Even if she was foolish, she now understood that the people she had encountered today were definitely not ordinary.
"Weiyang, don't go, Weiyang. I'm begging you, please ask them to let my husband go."
She grabbed Cheng Weiyang's hand, on the verge of kneeling down, and cried out, "We still have over twenty years of mortgage to pay off at home. We can't do without him."
Everyone was left speechless upon hearing this.
Cheng Weiyang didn't want to be entangled with someone like her. She directly shook off her hand, followed Qin Fei into the commercial vehicle, and quickly drove away.
Back at the villa.
Qin Ning was sitting on the sofa watching TV. Qin Fei recounted what had just happened to him.
After listening, Qin Ning nodded and looked at Xia Fei and the others. "You did well. When you encounter wicked people, you should punish them severely."
This incident also made Qin Ning realize a problem.
Although Qin Fei had the protective amulet he had given her and wouldn't face any accidents, Zhou Ping'an and the others did not.
After thinking for a moment, he flipped his palm and took out several jade pendants, placing them on the coffee table. "Take one of these jade pendants each."
"Young Master Qin, what are these?"
Everyone was delighted. Although they didn't know the function of the jade pendants, since they were given by Qin Ning, they were definitely not ordinary.
"Brother, is this the same material as the jade pendant you gave me last time? You never told me what it actually does,"
Qin Fei was also curious, taking out a circular jade pendant from her person as she spoke.
In the center of this circular jade pendant was carved a lifelike phoenix. Looking at it a few more times made one feel as if it could come alive at any moment; it was just that magical.
"It's a similar material, but yours is a bit better."
Qin Ning smiled and nodded. "This is a protective amulet I made myself. Wearing it on your body can ensure your lives are safe. Not only will you not get sick, but it can also prolong your life, and no weapon can harm you."
"Prolong life? No weapon can harm us?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was startled at first, and then their faces showed incomparable joy.
If it were anyone else saying this, Xia Fei might have treated the other party as a charlatan and directly greeted them with his fists.
But since Qin Ning said it, the effect would absolutely not deviate in the slightest.
"Is it really that magical?"
Cheng Weiyang didn't believe it. After all, she hadn't interacted much with Qin Ning and didn't understand him at all.
Moreover, the education she received since childhood told her that such things simply couldn't exist in this world.
Hearing her words and seeing the curiosity on the faces of Xia Fei and the others, Qin Ning didn't explain. He just smiled faintly and then gently raised his hand.
On the coffee table, a small paring knife in a fruit bowl suddenly floated up out of thin air and flew toward Zhou Ping'an at an extremely fast speed.
This sudden scene immediately startled everyone present.
Especially Zhou Ping'an, who almost wet himself and instinctively closed his eyes.
"Clang!"
However, only a crisp sound reached their ears.
Then everyone could see that the small knife had not harmed Zhou Ping'an in the slightest. Instead, it was blocked by a faint protective shield around his body and fell to the ground.
"This..."
The crowd's faces first showed surprise, followed by ecstatic joy.
They didn't expect the jade pendant to have such an effect. Didn't that mean they could do whatever they wanted from now on?
"Young Master Qin, can this thing block bullets?" Xia Fei licked his lips.
Qin Ning smiled and nodded. "Yes, even the world's most lethal sniper rifle cannot penetrate the protective shield formed by the jade pendant. However, if you want to withstand heavy artillery, it falls a bit short; you would need the kind Little Fei has in her hand."
"So prolonging life is also true?" Cheng Weiyang's face held nothing but pure astonishment.
By now, she finally understood why all these top-tier young masters were revolving around Qin Ning.
This was an existence completely beyond normal comprehension.
"If Young Master Qin says it can, then it definitely can." Zhong Mingyuan was ecstatic.
He never expected that just two days after following them to Liu City, he would receive such an item.
"It's a pity that I don't have much of this material left. There are some substitutes on Earth, but the effects of the ones made from them would be much worse. Before leaving the capital, I also gave Elder Zeng and Elder Liu one each," Qin Ning said.
Xia Fei spoke up, "Young Master Qin, what kind of material is needed? Jade? It just so happens that my family is also in the jade business..."
"Any top-grade jade will do. The higher the quality, the better. There are no other special requirements. If you can find some, you can get some for me. Once I have the materials, I can make more to give to your parents and relatives."
Making these things was neither complicated nor difficult—at least for Qin Ning. As long as he had the materials, he could casually make thousands or even tens of thousands of them.
...
Early the next morning.
At the entrance of the villa, Zhong Mingyuan drove the commercial vehicle over.
It was an eight-seater commercial vehicle, perfectly accommodating the seven of them: Qin Ning, Qin Fei, Zhou Ping'an, Xia Fei, Cheng Weiyang, Gu Siyu, and Zhong Mingyuan.
The gifts they bought yesterday had already been sent overnight to Bin City by Xia Fei's people.
Cheng Weiyang's hometown was in a small county in Bin City. It wasn't actually that far from Liu City, only about a hundred kilometers away. Driving from here would take just over two hours.
The group set off early. If nothing unexpected happened, they should arrive before noon.
Soon, after everyone got in the car, Zhong Mingyuan steadily drove onto the highway.
Qin Ning sat in the back seat, flanked by Qin Fei and Cheng Weiyang.
Not long after getting in the car, these two girls dozed off and unconsciously leaned on Qin Ning's shoulders.
Qin Ning felt a bit helpless and awkward. It wasn't that he was worried about his shoulders getting sore; with a cultivation base at his level, carrying a large mountain on his back would be a breeze.
The main issue was Cheng Weiyang. She was wearing a low-cut top today, and if Qin Ning just lowered his head slightly, he could see a large expanse of snowy white skin.
At the end of the day, he was still just a hot-blooded young man in his twenties.
Fortunately, as an immortal cultivator, his focus and self-control in all aspects were much stronger than ordinary people. Otherwise, he might have already pitched a tent by now.
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?

ts me of treason?" "Correct. The host must return to the capital and gradually build up influence." "Wait—I have half a million soldiers, and you want me to go back to the capital to 'build influence'?" "Host, you are currently the Northern Garrison General, loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty." "Of course I am loyal to Great Xia! Absolutely loyal!" "But you keep referring to yourself as 'We'..." "Never mind the details! Summon all the regional commanders and military officers!

. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
