Facing the village head’s scrutiny, Yingzi showed not a hint of panic, instead cursing, "What kind of expression is that, you think my words aren’t worth believing?"

My God, this woman is way too tough!

Ye Haochuan sighed in his heart.

Yingzi’s move was undoubtedly clever, her righteous stance really made one feel she was truly misunderstood.

The village head was obviously a seasoned henpecked husband, his demeanor instantly deflated upon hearing this, as he laughed awkwardly, "How could I not believe you, Yingzi? I know your character too well. Even if the whole world betrayed me, you would never betray me!"

Damn, such cowardice? No wonder he’d get cheated on every day.

Ye Haochuan sighed inwardly.

Ye Haochuan apparently misunderstood; this village head wasn’t really a coward, because he showed not a hint of cowardice when facing him.

The village head flattered Yingzi then immediately turned his head and shouted at Ye Haochuan and his companion, "You two villains, not only did you attempt to molest my wife, but you even dared to slander her. If I don’t make you pay, I am no man."

With that, he took out a large bronze rod and swung it at Ye Haochuan.

"Get lost!" Before Ye Haochuan could act, Niu Kui rushed forward, Giant Que swung fiercely, hacking down on the large rod.

Clang~

An indescribable force transmitted through the rod into the village head’s hand.

The village head only felt his arms go numb, losing sensation instantly. The rod flew out of his hand and landed on a large rock far away with a thud, cracking the rock into countless fissures.

"How... is that possible?" Both the village head and Yingzi were dumbfounded.

Yingzi was alright, she only knew the village head’s rod was suddenly struck away. As for the village head, he truly felt the immense force that made him feel utterly insignificant.

"Impossible, he hasn’t even started converting to Flower Energy, how could he be this powerful?" The village head muttered incredulously.

Flower Energy and Spiritual Energy are fundamentally different; not to mention their power difference is worlds apart. Generally speaking, the more converted Flower Energy, the stronger one is considered.

The village head dared to decisively fight Ye Haochuan and his companion in a two-on-one situation because he discerned their Cultivation levels.

Niu Kui, though capable of liquefying Spirit Qi, had barely any Flower Energy in him, making him essentially a Pseudo Immortal Transcendence. Ye Haochuan was merely at Nascent Soul Peak.

He believed he had the ability to quickly subdue them both.

Who knew, the moment Niu Kui attacked, he’d feel utterly powerless to retaliate.

This sensation, he’d once experienced from an Immortal Transformation Mid-Stage cultivator, never expecting it to come from a newly transformed Immortal cultivator.

"You fool, we were saying the truth, but you chose to believe that woman!" Despite Niu Kui having incapacitated the village head, he didn’t continue attacking, rather he reproached him with a tone of disappointed expectation.

Upon hearing this, the village head’s face turned as if he’d lost a father.

In his eyes, he couldn’t miss that Niu Kui seemed slow to react, commonly known as being dumb. Being called a fool by someone like this was indeed an extreme humiliation.

"Don’t get cocky, do you really think our village is vacant of people?" The village head snorted coldly, suddenly turning to Yingzi, "Yingzi, call for help!"

He spoke loudly, but Yingzi clearly didn’t hear him. Her gaze was locked on Niu Kui’s muscular figure, showing a hint of yearning as if imagining certain scenes.

My goodness, with a gaze like that, if you can’t spot the problem, you must be a fool.

Ye Haochuan chuckled inwardly, then turned his attention to the village head.

The village head’s brows undeniably furrowed a little, but quickly, he hid it, using an expression that suggested he saw nothing, before calling out to Yingzi once again with increased volume.

This time, Yingzi finally heard and abruptly snapped back to reality without a hint of panic, pulling out a whistle and blowing it.

The whistle was sharp, echoing through the forest. Almost instantly after the whistle sounded, Ye Haochuan sensed several powerful figures rushing toward them.

My God, is this a hidden family head, so many experts?

Ye Haochuan was alarmed, immediately bracing for defense.

In a mere dozen seconds, two elders and an old woman hurriedly arrived. All three possessed Immortal Transformation Early Stage Cultivation levels. Among them, a black-clad elder had his Flower Energy conversion far exceeding that of the village head.

"Yingzi, what’s happened?" The speaker was the old woman.

"Mother, these two tried to molest me, and they injured my brother!" Yingzi instantly assumed a delicate demeanor, whining.

The old woman glanced at Ye Haochuan and Niu Kui without discernment, then sneered at the village head, "You’re embarrassingly useless, aren’t you? Can’t even handle two who haven’t truly reached Immortal Transformation?"

"Mother-in-law, that brawny man has some skill..." The village head hurriedly explained.

"Enough!" The old woman snorted, "Useless is useless, what good is making excuses?"

The village head’s face turned blue and white, yet he dared not utter another word.

My goodness, so this guy has far higher Cultivation than Yingzi, yet cowers before her due to having such a formidable mother-in-law!

Ye Haochuan immediately understood, feeling sympathy for the village head. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Based on Ye Haochuan’s earlier observation, he found the village head definitely knew of Yingzi’s infidelity, only restrained by the mother-in-law’s pressure to remain silent.

After some disdain toward the village head, the old woman then turned to look at Niu Kui, snorting, "Young man, I advise you to surrender, don’t force me to act, or else you’ll wish you were dead!"

Niu Kui didn’t answer her, instead showing some confusion as he looked at Ye Haochuan, "Brother Ye, yet another unreasonable one, what now?"

My God, you’re using Taunting Technique here!

Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but smile wryly.

Sure enough, as Niu Kui spoke, the old woman’s face suddenly changed, yelling angrily, "Bastard, asking to die!"

With that, she wielded a steel whip, swinging it at Niu Kui.

Niu Kui furrowed his brows, seemingly annoyed by the sudden attack, naturally reaching out to seize the steel whip.

The old woman exerted effort, finding it firmly gripped, unable to pull it free.

Having just arrogantly belittled her opponent, then swiftly subdued, the old woman was rather embarrassed.

At this moment, Ye Haochuan clearly saw a hint of disdain in the village head’s eyes. Though this emotion was quickly concealed.

Indeed, this family’s relationships are far from harmonious!

Ye Haochuan sighed inwardly.

"Li, your wife is being bullied, why foolishly stand there?" The old woman spat, commanding.

The strongest of the three, the black-clad cultivator, heard the call and charged forward, attacking Niu Kui.
