Chapter 240: Recruiting the Witch

At the critical moment between life and death, Jiang Xincheng shot out his Primordial Force with his right hand. He blasted Yu Wenwen’s palm to the side, forcefully smashing a hole through the bed board. Yu Wenwen’s strength was quite good; she had already cultivated to the peak of the late Tendon Training Realm.

“Why did you stop me? Let me die! My mom and dad are dead, my younger brother is dead too. What’s the point of me living alone? Let me die!” Yu Wenwen cried bitterly, tears streaming down her face. She finally couldn’t hold back and sobbed aloud. Raising her right hand again, she wanted to crush her heart and commit suicide. “You can stop me for now, but I don’t believe you can stop me forever. After you leave, I will still kill myself.”

Jiang Xincheng looked at her coldly. “You haven’t avenged such a deep blood feud yet. If you die, who will avenge your mom, dad, and brother?”

“Revenge?” Yu Wenwen was stunned, then laughed bitterly. “Didn’t you wipe out all those beasts like Ximen Hong? What revenge is left? Are you reminding me that I haven’t repaid your kindness, so I’m not allowed to die?”

Jiang Xincheng sneered. “Ximen Hong and his men were just pawns. The real mastermind is someone from the Ximen Family. If the Ximen Family hadn’t wanted to forcibly take Shimen Mountain without paying, do you think Ximen Hong and the others would dare to bully your family on their own?”

“The Ximen Family?” Yu Wenwen froze.

Jiang Xincheng said, “You’ve been with them for so many days, and you didn’t know they were from the Ximen Family? The reason they imprisoned your family was simply to wait for a big shot from the Ximen Family to personally sign the transfer agreement, handing Shimen Mountain over to this heir of the Ximen Family. So your family’s real enemies aren’t small pawns like Ximen Hong, but the Ximen Family itself.”

Yu Wenwen trembled all over. She recalled snippets of conversation she had overheard from Ximen Hong and the others during those days. She immediately realized Jiang Xincheng wasn’t lying to her; everything he said was true. Instantly, the thoughts of suicide in her heart transformed into a towering wave of hatred.

“Ximen Family! I will make your entire family suffer just like our Yu Family—shattered and completely wiped out!”

After a long time, a heart-wrenching roar from Yu Wenwen came from the blood-stained small villa. Jiang Xincheng had finally used this extreme method to ignite Yu Wenwen’s will to live, rekindling her fighting spirit, and she decided to pledge her allegiance to Jiang Xincheng.

In the following days, Jiang Xincheng helped Yu Wenwen bury her mom, dad, and younger brother. He handled their funeral arrangements. Then, he placed Yu Wenwen in Hetang County, entrusting her to Ma Qingshan’s care. He also told Ma Qingshan about Yu Wenwen’s situation, hoping he could guide her and prevent her from being so extreme, at least so she wouldn’t continue to seek suicide after taking revenge.

At the same time, Jiang Xincheng also passed on to Yu Wenwen a Yellow Grade High-Tier Origin Force Cultivation Method. This Yellow Grade High-Tier Origin Force Cultivation Method was actually the first introductory level of a Celestial Grade, Upper Tier Origin Force Cultivation Method.

For now, Jiang Xincheng did not pass on the entire Celestial Grade, Upper Tier Origin Force Cultivation Method to Yu Wenwen. Naturally, this was to test her. He didn’t know much about the Yu Wenwen from his previous life and couldn’t discern her character. So, he didn’t dare to pass on a more powerful Origin Force Cultivation Method to her. Otherwise, if it were leaked, it would bring catastrophic disaster upon Jiang Xincheng.

During this time, Jiang Xincheng also inquired about Yu Wenwen’s cultivation talent. As expected, it was extremely formidable, infinitely close to top-tier cultivation talent. No wonder in his previous life, relying solely on the Primordial Ultimate Art, she was able to reach the peak of the late Cloud Condensation Realm within ten years, and her combat power was so strong.

While Jiang Xincheng was busy handling Yu Wenwen’s affairs and recruiting this future powerhouse, Ximen Changkong, the heir of the Ximen Family, also boarded a plane, flying from Tianhai City to Ming Yu City.

Besides bringing his personal secretary Yin Xing, Ximen Changkong also brought several powerful experts. One of them was a Primordial Warrior of the Rain Transformation Realm with the title of Frontier Governor. The rest were all Great Yuan Warriors at the late Cloud Condensation Realm. The group was quite formidable, arriving with aggressive momentum.

The group directly booked the entire First Class Cabin of the flight. Apart from these people, Ximen Changkong had also gathered several mining experts from all over the country to head to Shimen Mountain in Tongle Town. Simultaneously, a large number of mining equipment and miners were being assembled. They were just waiting to confirm the scale of the Yuan Crystal Mine at Shimen Mountain and take control of this Yuan Crystal Mine before officially starting mining operations.

Preparing in advance and advancing step by step showed Ximen Changkong’s ability. He wasn’t just a playboy who only knew how to have fun; he genuinely possessed real talent and practical knowledge.

On Flight 616, in the First Class Cabin, Ximen Changkong, dressed in casual suit, lay lazily in Yin Xing’s arms. The exquisitely beautiful Yin Xing carefully peeled grapes one by one and placed them into Ximen Changkong’s mouth. After Ximen Changkong finished eating, he spat the grape seeds into a small dish held in Yin Xing’s delicate hand.

Occasionally, Yin Xing would also feed him some watermelon, apricots, strawberries… things Ximen Changkong loved to eat. Ximen Changkong’s life was quite comfortable.

“How is the situation at Shimen Mountain?” Ximen Changkong took a bite of watermelon and asked lazily.

Yin Xing gave a charming smile. “I just asked Ximen Hong a couple of days ago. Ximen Hong said everything is normal. They’re just waiting for the young master to arrive at Shimen Mountain to sign the transfer agreement for the mining rights. Also, I heard the original owners of Shimen Mountain had a mother-daughter pair. Ximen Hong seems to be having so much fun there he doesn’t want to leave.”

“You, don’t investigate these small matters all the time. If Ximen Hong finds out, he’ll think I, his young master, don’t trust him.” Ximen Changkong patted Yin Xing’s jade-like leg and couldn’t resist giving it a squeeze.

Yin Xing pouted. “Who told him to be so unaware of his place? He knows our young master likes beauties, yet when he encountered such a pretty mother-daughter pair, he didn’t even think to let the young master have a taste first. Instead, he enjoyed himself to the fullest. He’s really not loyal.”

“Haha, you’re right.” Ximen Changkong laughed heartily and nibbled on Yin Xing’s long, jade-like leg. “So fragrant. My Yin Xing is still the best, always thinking of me, your young master. By the way, where are the mining experts now?”

“They have all arrived in Ming Yu City. They’re just waiting for the young master to reach Ming Yu City so they can go to Shimen Mountain together.” Yin Xing smiled.

Ximen Changkong nodded. “Tell them to prepare all the necessary things. If anything is missing, quickly buy it in Ming Yu City. Don’t lack any equipment when it’s time for mining exploration, delaying the work and wasting time. My time is very precious now; I don’t have that much time for them to waste.”

“Mhm, young master, rest assured. I’ve already told them: if anyone messes up, I’ll directly break their legs. They don’t dare not to be diligent, and they certainly don’t dare waste the young master’s time.” Yin Xing smiled charmingly. “And as per the young master’s instructions, I’ve already checked the current status of all the experts under the young master’s command. If we confirm that the Yuan Crystal Mine at Shimen Mountain is a Large Yuan Crystal Mine, I can immediately summon over ten Great Yuan Warriors at the Cloud Condensation Realm to arrive within a day to guard the Yuan Crystal Mine at Shimen Mountain. Moreover, the miners and equipment are also ready. We’re just waiting for the young master’s order, and they can rush to Shimen Mountain to continuously harvest Yuan Crystals for the young master.”

“Good. I trust you to handle things.” Ximen Changkong laughed heartily, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. He changed the subject. “We really don’t need to worry about the Shimen Mountain matter. But what about Jiang Xincheng’s situation? Is that Rain Transformation Realm bitch from Tianhai University still in Tongle Town?”
