The Crazy Son-In-Law

“Cough cough, I’m a decent man, please don’t seduce me recklessly!” Looking at Zhu Que who was smiling beside him, Xiao Shun Tian shamelessly said.

Before he could finish speaking, Zhu Que’s willow eyebrows creased. She slowly took out a bullet clip and started loading bullets into it, coldly saying: “The last person who talked to me like this, I guess must have passed away this year, right?”

Hearing this, Xiao Shun’s scalp tingled and he awkwardly coughed twice, “Cough cough, what did I just say? Oh… right, let’s talk about Hu’s education instead!”

Upon hearing Hu’s name, Zhu Que’s actions paused. She then looked up at Xiao Shun beside her.

It was obvious that she was extremely fond of the little girl.

Damn it, my handsome and graceful face is completely wasted. In the end, I’m not even as good as a child! Xiao Shun thought resentfully.

However, he didn’t dare show any of this on the surface, since the gun in this woman’s hand was no joke.

So he solemnly said, “This child needs to be taught from the beginning. Auntie Long San is getting old, so the responsibility of raising Hu will fall onto us.”

Zhu Que neither agreed nor disagreed, simply nodding for him to continue.

“Long San died because of me, so I’m obligated to take care of his family. Hu is a clever child with great potential. I plan to teach her everything I know.”

When mentioning Long San, Xiao Shun’s expression was no longer frivolous, instead turning extremely remorseful.

Seeing this, Zhu Que consoled, “I’ve heard about Long San’s matter. If he has any consciousness below, I’m sure he would have no regrets about everything you’ve done for his family.”

“Sigh!” Xiao Shun sighed regretfully and shook his head. Then he solemnly said, “Hu is almost old enough for kindergarten. I’m thinking after the martial arts school opens, we can start a kindergarten class for her to attend.”

“I’m not the best with educating children, so I’ll leave it to you to decide,” Zhu Que casually replied as she cleaned her gun.

Hearing this, Xiao Shun reminded her, “I hope that while you teach Hu martial arts and firearms, you don’t impose your own subjective beliefs on her.”

Zhu Que was slightly surprised. “Subjective beliefs?”

Xiao Shun nodded. “Hu is just an innocent child. I believe you also don’t want her to become an emotionless killing machine like you once were.”

“Don’t worry, I’m not who I once was. And I definitely don’t want Hu to follow my previous path!” Zhu Que’s icy eyes suddenly showed a hint of complex emotions as she glanced at Xiao Shun.

Xiao Shun noticed her gaze but didn’t think much of it. Then he smiled slightly, “Well then, now I can teach you spirit pattern engraving techniques.”

Hearing this, Zhu Que glanced at him indifferently without responding.

Damn, the more I look at this girl’s face, the harder it is to resist!

“Cough cough!” Xiao Shun pretended to cough to steady his mind. After all, he was a married man now!

After the earlier awkwardness passed, he slowly explained, “You’ve witnessed the power of spirit pattern engraving. With it, Desert Eagle’s bullet velocity can be increased by more than double.”

Zhu Que nodded in agreement, gazing at Xiao Shun eagerly. She wanted to learn this technique to strengthen herself as soon as possible.

Seeing Zhu Que’s impatience, Xiao Shun stroked his chin arrogantly. Then he looked her up and down.

After a while, he continued, “With your current abilities, you still can’t fully grasp this technique yet.”

Just as Zhu Que was about to ask something, Xiao Shun waved his hand to stop her.

“No need to ask. I say you can’t learn it yet not because I doubt your marksmanship or talent, but because of your cultivation level.”

Spirit pattern engraving was a very powerful auxiliary skill. With it, a weapon’s power could be greatly increased.

But to engrave spirit patterns onto a weapon required special tools forged from gold spirit stones, as well as spirit energy infusion, in order to take effect.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

However, Zhu Que was only at the peak of the Foundation stage, without any spirit energy generated within her.

After hearing the reason, disappointment flashed across Zhu Que’s face.

Seeing this, Xiao Shun patted her shoulder and laughed, “Don’t worry, I’ll teach you a mantra to practice. It’ll help you break through.”

He then passed an unnamed mantra to Zhu Que. After she had completely digested it, he got up from the sofa.

Just as he walked out a few steps, Xiao Shun looked back at Zhu Que still sitting on the sofa reciting the mantra. He reminded her, “We’ll go to the antique market tomorrow morning to look for gold spirit stones. I’ll teach you how to engrave spirit patterns then.”

Zhu Que didn’t know what gold spirit stones were, but since they helped with spirit pattern engraving, she didn’t ask further.

The next day, Xiao Shun and Zhu Que went to the largest antique market in Harrow City early in the morning.

Despite it being only 9am, the antique street was already bustling with activity.

“Gold spirit stones look similar to gold, but in terms of purity, hardness and rarity, they surpass gold. Many ignorant people have even mistaken them for gold, how foolish!”

While browsing, Xiao Shun described the characteristics of gold spirit stones to Zhu Que beside him. As for the antiques on both sides of the road, he didn’t show any interest at all.

He had long lost interest in these antiques. After all, following his master, he had seen all kinds of treasures and curiosities!

Moreover, most of the antiques here were fakes, used to deceive consumers. They might be able to swindle the ignorant, but trying to trick experts like Xiao Shun was wishful thinking.

The two of them walked side by side down the lively antique street. Zhu Que’s exotic appearance attracted quite a lot of attention.

Xiao Shun clicked his tongue. “What a superficial world!”

As they strolled along, his gaze suddenly sharpened. Not far away was a jade shop, and inside was a jade carving that had caught Xiao Shun’s full attention.

After examining it for a bit, Xiao Shun smiled slightly and bumped Zhu Que’s shoulder, “Let’s go take a look over there.”
