The stalemate lasted for about 10 minutes. Seeing that the other side showed no sign of surrendering, the bandits lost patience and could wait no longer.

"Since these people won't listen to reason, brothers, let's not hold back and surround them from all sides!"

"I don't believe he can defend one direction, let alone all directions."

At the bandit leader's command, fifty or sixty bandits scattered and charged toward the boulder from all directions.

"We're doomed, we're surrounded!"

"It seems there's no escaping this time."

Looking at the situation before them, the young men felt a sense of despair.

They had already decided that even if they died today, they would take as many people down with them.

"Come on up, everyone, hang in there a little longer, my master will be here soon!"

Lin Xue reached out her hand to the group and pulled them all onto the boulder, then faced the depths of the forest.

"Master, help me! Your disciple is being bullied to death!"

As Lin Xue finished speaking, the bandits' sinister laughter filled the air.

Suddenly, a person flew down from the top of the trees.

Of course, this person didn't actually fly over; instead, they used their light-footed skills to walk on the leaves.

"Holy crap, where did this fairy come from?"

"A deity has descended to earth!"

"Oh no! A powerful opponent has arrived!"

Various sounds accompanied the bandits' chaotic retreat.

The bandit leader, who was directing the battle from a distance, was particularly stunned when he saw the Taoist nun descending from the sky.

They came stepping on leaves; even if there are many of them, they won't gain an advantage against such a master.

"This is a dangerous situation, everyone get out of here!"

The bandit leader roared and turned to run.

He dared not provoke such a reclusive master. If the master were to capture the leader first, his scattered followers would not be loyal to him.

"Master, don't let that bandit leader get away!"

Lin Xue stood on the boulder, put her hands in front of her, and shouted loudly.

"Amitabha!"

"Heaven cherishes life, but unfortunately you have committed many evils. If we don't punish you today, even more innocent and kind people will be killed!"

"In order to achieve the greater good, I have no choice but to ask you to make some sacrifices!"

As the Taoist nun finished speaking, her figure moved like a gentle breeze, and wherever she passed, the bandits all fell to the ground.

"Wife, is that our master?"

"Didn't you say that Master had gone into seclusion for cultivation? How come she's here?"

Liu Qing looked at the Taoist nun in the distance, who seemed like an immortal descending to earth, his eyes filled with admiration.

“My master sensed that I was in danger, so he came to save me.”

"Otherwise, why do you think I would dare to stay behind and cover the retreat?"

Lin Xue watched as her master, transformed into a Taoist nun, moved swiftly through the woods. As the bandits fell one by one, the battle here quickly came to an end.

"You should go and call the villagers back first. We can't afford to lose all our belongings."

"And all the things the bandits looted, let's take everything that's usable with us!"

With Liu Qing's help, Lin Xue slid down from the boulder.

Then I walked a few steps to the flatbed cart at my eldest and second eldest brothers' houses, found a clean spot, and sat down to rest.

She always remembered that she was pregnant, and she would never let herself get tired when she could rest.

"Let's go and call the villagers back. Brothers Liu, watch over our supplies, make sure they don't get stolen!"

I thought I was going to die this time, but unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better. It turns out that Liu Qing's family has such a god-like master.

Although Liu Qing's family had never shown any particular talent before, during this famine, they first cured the sick ox and later cured Uncle San's sleeping disorder.

This person is absolutely capable!

"You guys hurry up and go. We don't know if there's anyone left down the mountain. If someone else takes the stuff, we'll be at a huge loss!"

After all, it was the wife's master who drove away the bandits, so all the spoils should belong to them.

"The bandits have been dealt with, and I have other things to do, so I can't keep you company any longer."

"Remember to rest well while you're pregnant. The child in your belly is the reincarnation of the God of Literature, and will achieve extraordinary things in the future."

"These are for your self-defense. I'll be leaving now!"

After killing all the bandits, the Taoist nun returned to Lin Xue's side, gave her some instructions, and then flew away.

Throughout the entire ordeal, the three Liu brothers didn't even get a chance to say a word.

However, all three of them turned their gazes to Lin Xue's belly, for inside was a child born from the God of Literature.

While they were secretly alarmed, they also resolved to protect Lin Xue's safety from now on, and absolutely not to let anything happen to the child in her womb.

"Third sister-in-law, you just sit down and rest. Leave the rest to us!"

"Third brother, keep an eye on your wife. Second brother and I are going downstairs to take a look."

Since the divine master said that the bandits had been wiped out, there must be no survivors.

Liu Ping was worried that the supplies below would be taken by others, so he and his younger brother searched all the way down from where the bandits had come up.

If they saw a weapon that caught their eye, such as a machete, axe, or sickle, they would collect it, as these were important supplies on their journey to escape famine.

"Big brother, do you think Third Sister-in-law's master is a Taoist nun or a deity?"

Are there really people in this world with such advanced light-body abilities that they can walk in mid-air?

On the way down, Liu Qing couldn't help but find Liu Ping, and the two whispered to each other.

"Whether my third sister-in-law's master is a deity or a hermit, that's beyond our comprehension."

"What we need to do is protect my third sister-in-law and the baby in her womb, so that if we encounter danger, there will be a skilled person to come to our rescue."

"If anything happens to my third brother's wife and the child in her belly, I reckon that senior will definitely not let our Liu family off the hook!"

Liu Ping understood very well that his third sister-in-law had such a highly skilled master.

As long as she stays in Lao Liu's family, and as long as they are still family with their third brother and sister-in-law, their future will definitely not be bad.

You should know that the child in my third sister-in-law's belly is the reincarnation of the God of Literature.

What is the concept of Wenquxing?

They're destined to become top scholars and high-ranking officials.

It is said that if one prospers, all prosper; if one suffers, all suffer.

What they need to do is build a good relationship with their third brother and sister-in-law so they won't be left behind on the road ahead.

Liu Qing agreed wholeheartedly with his elder brother's analysis.

"Brother, you're absolutely right. I'll go back and tell my wife to help out my third brother's wife more often."

"As long as we build a good relationship with our third brother, immense wealth and honor will await us in the future."

The Liu family has been hunters for three generations, so they are not as lacking in meat as others.

But he never experienced a life of wealth and luxury.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be unable to afford land and would have to make a living by hunting.
