The Young Lady Cultivates the Path of No Emotion

Through a transmigration, An Zhengzheng, a young lady from a prestigious business family, is reborn as the young lady of a cultivation clan. In this world where women cannot achieve the Dao through...

Chapter 158 Acting and Gift Giving

An Zhengzheng was prepared for this, so she wasn't flustered. She just frowned and asked, "When did this happen? Tell me in detail."

The newlywed man recounted the whole story with a pale face.

The newlywed bride, who had just been married for a few days, had just extinguished the oil lamp when a gust of wind suddenly swept her away.

The man went out to chase after it and vaguely saw the silhouette of a blue ox.

An Zhengzheng calmly took out a compass from her treasure bag, pressed the pointer on it, and led everyone up the mountain.

The group, carrying torches and lanterns, followed behind An Zhengzheng.

"But... there are wolves and tigers in the mountains, and it's nighttime now. Do we really have to go?"

Some people hesitated. They were all from the same village, but they weren't related by blood. Was it worth taking such a big risk?

Aside from the bride's maternal and paternal families, some villagers were very resistant, as they had elderly parents and young children to support and really didn't want to get involved.

An Zhengzheng thought for a moment and decided not to force them. However, they couldn't leave; they had to watch as An Zhengzheng brought the bride back.

Otherwise, I'm afraid they'll use Zhou Yu'er's sister-in-law's innocence as a pretext.

So she drew a circle on the spot, set up a formation, and instructed, "I'm going to look for someone, so don't leave this circle."

After saying that, he summoned the mutated tiger in full view of everyone.

Amidst the terrified and averted gazes of the crowd, he led the mutated tiger to find the bride's location.

"Such a big tiger..."

Those who remained were terrified, while some tried to comfort the Pei family.

The village chief calmly said, "If the fairy can tame such a large tiger, she will surely be able to bring Pei Daya back."

A malevolent creature like the Green Ox Demon is no match for a mutated tiger.

When An Zhengzheng arrived at the cave, Pei Daya had already fainted from fright.

She cast a spell, causing the mutated tiger to carry Pei Daya back to the crowd.

"Be careful on the road, don't mess up her clothes or hair accessories."

After all, that poor bride forty years ago was rejected by her husband's family and sent back home. Later, she married far away and never returned to her parents' home.

The mutated tiger roared to the sky, proceeding cautiously.

The green ox, who had been beaten down in just a few moves, looked at An Zhengzheng with trembling fear.

His original snarling, menacing appearance was completely gone.

An Zhengzheng used a trapping rope to restrain it, pulling on its horns with a cold gaze.

"I need you to do something for me... There's no room for refusal, do you understand?"

\/\/

"She's back! She's back! It's Pei Daya!"

Everyone wept with joy, and the mother even tried to rush forward, but was pulled back by Grandma Yu after the mutated tiger let out a roar.

"The fairy said we can't leave the circle."

Several women went to pull people away until the mutated tiger delivered Pei Daya into the circle, then turned back to find An Zhengzheng.

"Little girl, little girl..."

Zhou Yu'er's mother-in-law checked Pei Daya repeatedly to make sure she was unharmed before she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"careful!"

Someone called her name.

She looked up and saw a blue ox coming towards them.

"Bang!"

The green ox crashed into the magic array set up by An Zhengzheng, its eyes filled with disbelief.

It tried to break through several times but couldn't get in. It could only watch as the people inside the magic circle kept huddling together and retreating.

Finally losing patience, he said in a rough voice, "This bride...wasn't she kicked out by you? Hand her over now!"

It's about a bride leaving her parents' home, being kicked out, and having water splashed on the ground.

One of the villagers said, "What the fairy said is true. This evil creature really will kidnap the bride just because it sees her!"

Seeing the villagers' tense expressions, Zhou Yu'er lowered her eyes slightly.

She truly admired An Zhengzheng.

They were able to quickly come up with the excuse of using the Green Ox to change wedding customs at the wedding.

If she hadn't been familiar with the beast-trapping ring around Qingniu Sha's neck, she probably wouldn't have been able to tell that An Zhengzheng had done it intentionally.

Everything was logical and flawless, which could completely fool the villagers.

An Zhengzheng was determined to intimidate the villagers and completely change these outdated marriage customs.

"You wretched creature, how dare you be so insolent!"

An Zhengzheng arrived late, having watched the show to her heart's content.

Using the power of the talisman array, he subdued the Azure Ox Demon in front of everyone and put it and the mutated tiger into the Beast-Trapping Box.

Finally, he frowned and said to the villagers, "Be more careful from now on."

The village chief wiped his sweat and approached respectfully, saying, "Of course, of course, it's all thanks to the fairy. Pei family, hurry up and come over to thank the fairy."

Zhou Yu'er helped the Pei family members over to express their gratitude.

Her mother-in-law was very excited and kept thanking her.

An Zhengzheng glanced at Zhou Yu'er and said calmly, "I shouldn't have stayed any longer, but Yu'er was afraid something might happen, so she asked me to stay for a few days."

"...?"

Zhou Yu'er was initially stunned, but she instantly understood when she saw the surprised looks on the Pei family's faces.

An Zhengzheng knew that she was unwilling to leave, so that she could have a better life in her husband's family in the future.

After all, given what An Zhengzheng said, she could be considered half a benefactor to her sister-in-law.

"You...you are quite thoughtful."

Zhou Yu'er's mother-in-law's tone softened, and her gaze towards Zhou Yu'er became less sharp.

If she remembered correctly, it seemed that on the day Da Ya got married, this eldest daughter-in-law was also very reluctant to part with her and even cried.

Zhou Yu'er said softly, "It's...it's what a wife should do."

Having been used to being a daughter-in-law, she no longer had any of the temperament of a young lady from the Zhou family.

Pei Daya also woke up. She cried and nestled in her mother's arms for a while before she could find a moment to look at Zhou Yu'er.

"Thank you, sister-in-law. This purse you gave me prevents that monster from getting close to me. It can only rely on external forces like the wind."

She took out a pink pouch containing a talisman.

An Zhengzheng also found the location directly using this talisman.

Zhou Yu'er glanced at An Zhengzheng; this was something An Zhengzheng had asked her to do.

"...I'm so glad you're alright, Da Ya."

She finally understood An Zhengzheng.

This takes into account subduing the Green Ox Demon, ensuring marriage customs, and making things easier for herself in her husband's family.

Zhou Yu'er gritted her teeth, her eyes becoming quite moist.

An Zhengzheng was genuinely thinking of her best interests.

"Now that I've finished what my friend asked me to do, I won't stay in Qingyang Village any longer."

An Zhengzheng was about to take her leave.

Grandma Yu was still a little reluctant to leave: "Qingyang Village has never had a fairy or immortal stay overnight before, so it turns out it was because..."

"You've really worked hard these past few days, Fairy!"

They caught the weasel spirit and spent several days lurking around the Green Ox Demon.

Before leaving, An Zhengzheng said to Zhou Yu'er, "You know how to draw this talisman, right?"

Zhou Yu'er paused for a moment: "Yes."

"That's fine. I'm leaving."

"Wait a minute!"

Zhou Yu'er hurriedly called out to her, took out a hairpin from her bosom, and handed it to An Zhengzheng.

"You can use the jade above."

An Zhengzheng took it with a puzzled look and examined it carefully.

This is no ordinary thing!
