Li Fan did not rush into further exploration, after all, his injuries had not yet healed.
Even after his injuries have healed, he will still act cautiously.
Neither the strange chaotic creatures within the chaotic energy nor the powerful guardians of the Three Kings Palace are easy to deal with.
This isn't a battlefield for ascending to heaven; he can't just walk around like that anymore.
Of course, he doesn't need to risk walking sideways.
The city of Heigouzi is not lacking in chaotic energy.
More accurately, the miners who went down into the Black Gulch were themselves tainted with a trace of chaotic energy.
The black stone they unearthed was itself a celestial stone imbued with the energy of chaos.
The reason why these ordinary people were sent to dig was simply because the cultivators of the Three Kings Palace did not want to be tainted by the chaotic energy.
Li Fan was well aware of the power of this thing. If it weren't for the protection of the source core back then, let alone condensing the Chaos Body, his soul and power would have been assimilated by the Chaos Qi long ago.
......
"My life has been so damn frustrating."
He got cheated on, and he's still thinking about going back to being a cuckold.
"I wanted to have a big drinking session, but I didn't dare to spend money recklessly."
Even at this point, I was still worried that my wife might not have eaten enough.
"Zhang Erdan, you're such a good-for-nothing!"
The hustle and bustle of Blackrock City allowed Zhang Erdan to speak his grievances without restraint.
After venting his anger, he still bought a roast chicken on his way home.
Although it was still a considerable expense, Zhang Erdan paid the money readily.
Even if someone cheats on you, no matter how wronged you feel.
These damn days will have to go on eventually.
Finding a wife in Blackrock City is all Zhang Erdan has ever wanted in his life.
Only with a wife can there be offspring, and only with offspring can the Zhang family line continue.
Zhang Erdan's only wish is for the Zhang family line to continue in his hands.
As for how long it can last, that's not something I can control.
"Brother, come to my house tonight and I'll take you to see Foreman Wang tomorrow."
Zhang Erdan put his hand on Li Fan's shoulder and swayed as he walked towards home.
......
"That spendthrift woman, she still hasn't turned off the lights this late."
Looking at the faint light shining from his window, Zhang Erdan's anger subsided considerably.
Even though his wife had cheated on him, he was still worried about her.
If I don't go back, she'll definitely cry.
Thinking of this, Zhang Erdan quickened his pace.
Li Fan followed closely behind, without reacting much.
......
Not far from Zhang Erdan's house, two people were standing against the wall.
The darkness obscured their faces, casting only faint, imposing shadows.
From this vantage point, you can clearly see the dilapidated house where the candlelight is lit.
One of them asked, "Brother Tiger, should we go over and help out?"
That coward from the Zhang family even brought along some helpers.
"What kind of help can he find? Nothing but mineral dust!"
Tiger curled his lip, his words full of contempt.
"Mineral ash" naturally refers to the lowest level of miners in Heigouzi City.
These people depend on the mines in the Black Ditch for their livelihood from birth to death.
How long one lives depends on luck and talent.
Although Tiger himself also makes a living from the mines in Black Gully, he doesn't need to go down into the mines; he only needs to assist the foreman in managing the miners.
Although it can't be considered a leap across social classes, at least he's no longer a miner at the very bottom.
He has the qualifications and the ability to stand up to those mineral dusts.
"That's right, these mineral ash miners have no other skills besides their brute strength!"
But then again, why is the foreman going to all this trouble?
"Why not just kill Zhang Erdan and raise that woman and her two children?"
"You don't know anything. As the saying goes, a wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as a stolen one."
"The woman you keep at home never smells as good as someone else's."
Tiger has a lot to say on this matter.
Even he himself enjoyed returning to the city to have affairs during his free time.
"Brother Tiger is right!"
Upon hearing this, the man immediately echoed his opinion.
I made a mental note of this and planned to put it into practice sometime.
The first image that popped into my mind was none other than Tiger's third concubine.
That woman was once his dream girl, but in the end, Tiger Brother married her.
"Isn't that obvious!"
Tiger had no idea what his underling was thinking, but he was also considering whether he should find an opportunity to meet Qiangzi's wife.
That woman looks very plump.
As for Qiangzi, he was naturally his lackey.
......
Just as he was about to push open the door, Zhang Erdan heard a noise coming from inside the room.
This commotion couldn't have been caused by one person alone.
Coupled with the fact that he didn't hear the child crying, Zhang Erdan's already flushed face instantly turned purplish-red.
This is outrageous!
This is absolutely outrageous!
I can tolerate being cuckolded, and I'd even accept being a cuckold.
I'm not even dead yet, and I've already brought some random guy home.
The more Zhang Erdan thought about it, the angrier he became, and he kicked her.
But just as he lifted his foot, the wooden door suddenly opened.
What came into view was a slightly chubby face.
His mustache was trimmed very meticulously.
She was wearing clothes made of the finest silk.
Foreman Wang, it's him!
Zhang Erdan froze on the spot, quickly retracting his raised foot.
Snap!
Before Zhang Erdan could even speak, Foreman Wang's slap landed.
"Zhang Erdan, have you gone mad?"
I came here to mediate your family's mess, and you still want to kick me?
If this were anywhere else, I would have skinned you alive and burned you alive.
"Damn it, they're utterly ungrateful!"
Foreman Wang launched into a tirade of abuse, which left Zhang Erdan completely bewildered.
The slight anger that had been rising in Zhang Erdan's heart was instantly extinguished.
"Foreman Wang, I was wrong. I'm a worthless person. I thought..."
"You think you can mess around with your grandma? I've lived for over a hundred years, do you think I can mess around with you young people?"
If it weren't for your wife worrying that you might do something rash and kneeling at my door crying and wailing, would I have come to your house and waited until now?
You've managed to get such a good wife and you don't cherish her? You're a complete scoundrel.
And why do you think your wife secretly had a child? Is it really because she's shameless?
It's all because you can't have a child. You've been married for years and still can't get anything done.
She couldn't bear to see the Zhang family line die out, so she resorted to this desperate measure.
It's one thing if you don't care about her, but you even throw a tantrum.
Are you even human?
"Foreman, no matter what, that's not my child!"
Although Zhang Erdan was confused by what he was being said, he still tried to defend himself, looking aggrieved.
"As long as the child's surname is Zhang, who dares to say it's not your child?"
Foreman Wang said earnestly, "Besides, some people still sneak back when they go down into the mine."
"It's not unusual for you, Zhang Erdan, to sneak back."
"But that strange man..."
"Before I came, I had Tiger sink that man into the ditch."
Foreman Wang said impatiently, "That's all I have to say. You can figure out the rest yourself."
"If it weren't for the fact that you still have some strength, I wouldn't bother with your nonsense."
"Foreman, this brother of mine is also quite strong. Could you give him a hand?"
Zhang Erdan pointed to Li Fan behind him.
