Chapter 162: Chapter 162: Indeed, I Haven’t Misjudged You
Wu Xia’s face was ashen as he prepared for the worst.
All the strength in his body was mobilized, and his eyes were fixed intently on the missile.
Swish!
The missile was programd to turn, and as it approached Wu Xia, it suddenly veered upward, then made a ninety-degree turn, and flew off in another direction.
"Damn it!"
Wu Xia cursed, never having expected the missile to be able to turn, as it now headed for a mountain peak behind the house.
But curse as he might, Wu Xia quickly gave chase, instantly appearing beside the missile, ready to reach out, grab it, and throw it at the helicopter.
"Wu Xia, have you gone mad? That’s for attacking the enemy!"
Suddenly, an angry shout ca from behind, from the helicopter where Xiao Nihuang was holding on to the fra, dressed in military garb, and looking at Wu Xia in surprise as he pursued the missile.
Wu Xia snapped to his senses and noticed, for the first ti, that there was a small squad of about a dozen n on the targeted mountain peak, including two snipers with their guns aid at the house where Wu Xia was.
Wu Xia quickly released the missile and darted back to the front of the house.
Swish!
Bang bang bang!
Gunfire erupted frantically from the opposite slope, but how could the bullets catch the swiftly approaching missile?
Boom!
Roar!
A massive roar erupted suddenly, shaking the very earth, and a blaze shot into the sky.
The mountain peak was instantly blown open, leaving a huge crater with rocks flying everywhere.
Fortunately, this was far from Wujia Gully’s village, otherwise the falling rocks might have buried the entire village.
The villagers were all startled by the noise, thinking it was an earthquake, and they ran out of their houses.
Staring at the helicopter hovering mid-air, and at the distant blasted mountain peak, they were all dumbfounded.
Three of the four helicopters remained in front of Wu Xia’s house, while the other flew towards the distant mountain peak, strafing with its machine gun to clear any remaining threats.
The villagers were shocked, having never witnessed such a scene before.
But they didn’t dare to hide back in their hos and could only stand there, terrified and at a loss.
So of the more timid had peed their pants in fright.
They knew Wu Xia had killed before, but they had never seen it with their own eyes.
Now that such heavy weaponry was right before their eyes, who could stand it?
At this mont, they looked fearful, afraid to approach Wu Xia, yet felt compelled to move towards Wu Xia’s house for safety, dreading that the helicopters might start a massive sweep, which would be the end of them all.
Consequently, a comical scene ensued.
It was the height of sumr, and everyone slept in light clothing; many n had run out wearing just their underwear.
So won, without a bra, had simply thrown on a patterned jacket that left nothing to the imagination on both sides as they moved.
If Li Wanshan were here, he would have sighed.
In the past, when he called villagers for a eting, it took ages to gather them; now, in the blink of an eye, they had all co together.
Zhou Fang also put on her clothes and stepped out, standing by Wu Gang’s side.
"Sister-in-law?" Lin Jiao quickly took Zhou Fang’s hand, both to alleviate her own fear and concern and to find out what had just happened.
Zhou Fang pursed her lips, "He was reluctant at first, still bringing up my illness, but under my insistence, he finally agreed."
"Although he tried to threaten
with the fact that I wouldn’t be able to practice Body Cultivation anymore, he admitted that I would be fine!"
A hint of disappointnt flickered in Lin Jiao’s eyes, and her eyes slightly reddened.
Zhou Fang also realized she might have spoken out of turn. Though she was fierce in front of Wu Xia and spoke decisively, she couldn’t really bring herself to do it.
"Jiao!" Zhou Fang hurriedly explained, "Xia is also doing this for our sake. He wants us all to cultivate together so that our family can always be together."
"Otherwise, when we all get old and he’s still so young, that will be the most painful ti!"
"How about this! Let’s go back to the city. No one there will gossip, and we can have so peace. Once Xia truly recovers and solves our problems, we can return, okay?"
"Sister-in-law, there’s no need!" Lin Jiao said with a gentle smile. She was an understanding and reasonable person. How could she possibly continue to make an unreasonable fuss?
"Whether or not to cultivate isn’t important to ."
A hint of loss flashed through Lin Jiao’s eyes as she looked up at the helicopter hovering in the sky. The sight of the heroic Xiao Nihuang dangling from the helicopter made her feel inferior.
"With so many stunning won around Xia, I can’t possibly hold onto him forever. Even if I cultivate, I would only hold him back!"
Even in the short ti we were in the city, so many won were already surrounding Wu Xia.
Although Lin Jiao was aware of Wu Xia’s situation, she was after all a woman, and she couldn’t help but feel envious inside.
Plus, returning to the village, the gossiping of those around her only aggravated her discomfort.
She didn’t care about the opinions of others; rather, she was struggling with herself internally.
A tear slipped from the corner of Lin Jiao’s eye, revealing an expression of resignation, with a slight smile curling her lips.
"All I want now is to bear him a child, and when the child grows up, that will be enough!"
That was Lin Jiao’s only aspiration at the mont.
Zhou Fang wanted to say more but stopped herself. Although she was an uneducated country woman, she still understood the importance of being evenly matched in social and financial status.
She took a deep look at Wu Gang, who was silently beside her, and gently took his arm, leaning in tenderly.
Wu Xia did not know what the two won were thinking. He had ascended back and now stood beside them, looking up at the helicopter in the sky.
Xiao Nihuang slid down from the helicopter, gripping the rope, with a smile on her face as she looked at Wu Xia.
"Long ti no see!"
"Long ti no see!" Wu Xia was extrely excited, seeing Xiao Nihuang as if she were his savior.
This ant he could escape making love with Zhou Fang. As long as he had a few more days, or even just tonight, to cultivate with Xiao Nihuang through union, Wu Xia was certain he could break through to the twelfth level.
At that point, he wouldn’t have so many concerns.
However, to Lin Jiao, his expression appeared as if he was looking at a long-lost lover, which only made her heart feel worse.
"I knew I wasn’t wrong about you—you’ve indeed avenged our military’s disgraces this ti!"
Xiao Nihuang walked up to Wu Xia, placing her hands on his shoulders: "I also took the opportunity to clear out the entire dark web, so from now on, there will be no more dark web in the world!"
"Ah?" Wu Xia widened his eyes, surprised that Xiao Nihuang had acted so decisively to eliminate the entire dark web.
"Let’s go, co back to the Capital with . You’ve caused such a big commotion; several elders want to et you!"
Xiao Nihuang moved closer to Wu Xia, wrapping her arm through his.
"Hmm!"
Wu Xia imdiately nodded. He couldn’t wait to have a legitimate excuse to leave this place.
"Wait for , I’ll say goodbye to my family!"
But what he didn’t expect was that his intimate actions with Xiao Nihuang felt like a sharp blade painfully stabbing Lin Jiao’s heart.
Lin Jiao could no longer bear to watch, covering her mouth as she ran crying into the house.
The last ti, Wu Xia had explained that it was only for treatnt, that he had no feelings for Xiao Nihuang.
But Wu Xia’s current behavior made it unbearable for her to face.
She didn’t want to cry in front of Wu Xia, to make him feel embarrassed.
Running away was her only choice!
Yet, with Wu Xia’s current power, how could he possibly not feel it?
His expression changed slightly, and he frowned as he watched Lin Jiao’s retreating figure: "What’s happened?"
