I use my daughter's body to cut down the rivers and lakes

Chapter 257 Homely
When Liu Qi saw the door was closed, his eyes suddenly moved slightly, and in an instant a sharp and icy aura surged out of his body and spread throughout the room in an instant.

Shit!

Liu Qi turned his head and looked towards the direction of the voice, only to see a crack suddenly appear on the nanmu tabletop!
Liu Qi withdrew her gaze indifferently, then closed her eyes. As the light green energy around her condensed and took shape, the murderous intent that permeated the room gradually dissipated, until a moment later it was completely absorbed into Liu Qi's body.

Liu Qi's eyelids trembled slightly, and then he quickly opened his eyes. At the same time, a wooden box appeared in his hand.

Liu Qi opened the wooden box, took out the only pill inside and swallowed it. With a slight roll in his throat and neck, the moment the pill entered his stomach, Liu Qi's frown instantly relaxed.

This pill was the Nine-Turn Purifying Heart Pill that she had made herself.

Shen Zhuang did not lie to her. The elixir energy produced after taking the elixir could indeed control the backlash of murderous intent.

At this time, the murderous intent in Liu Qi's body was not constantly traveling through the meridians wrapped in true Qi as before, but was entrenched in several key points of the eight extraordinary meridians. The surface of the murderous intent was covered with a thin layer of Dan Qi, and it was this layer of Dan Qi that protected Liu Qi's meridians from the backlash of the murderous intent.

But the Nine Revolutions Purifying Heart Pill is not omnipotent. As long as Liu Qi mobilizes the murderous intent with a thought, the thin film formed by the pill energy will instantly disintegrate. Then he needs to restrain the murderous intent and take another pill.

However... Liu Qi also discovered that after fighting with Xiu Shaoyang, the murderous intent in his body increased greatly, and the energy of a Nine Revolutions Purifying Heart Pill seemed to be somewhat insignificant in comparison.

Perhaps the next time I use murderous intent, I will need two Nine Revolutions Purifying Heart Pills to control the murderous intent in my body.

To refine the Nine-Turn Purifying Heart Pill, one only needs a magical medicine called Glazed Purifying Heart Lotus. Fortunately, the Shen family can already cultivate this magical medicine on their own, and there is no need to risk their lives to search for it in the Jedi.

Otherwise... the Shen family needs to hand over the method of cultivating the Glazed Pure Heart Lotus?

This thought flashed through Liu Qi's mind, but was immediately rejected by Liu Qi.

Let’s not talk about whether Liu Qi can find someone with the same experience in cultivating spiritual medicine as the Shen family.

Even if there is, are they really more reliable than the Shen family?
As for the Xu family...

Liu Qi roughly counted in his mind. Although the Xu family on West Street is currently thriving, the total number of masters and servants in the entire old house is probably not even a fraction of the number of people in the Shen family.

Forget it, let’s leave the professional matters to the Shen family!

As for whether the Shen family would use the medicine to gain respect, Liu Qi didn't think this would happen.

Because she will give the Shen family a reason that they cannot refuse!

……

In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun dyed the sky above the city a deep red.

Liu Qi pushed open the door and saw Liu Shijiu standing up hurriedly at the stone steps at the door. A hint of worry flashed across her eyes. Then she looked away slightly and pouted, "I heard you were injured?"

Liu Qi replied calmly: "If you want to visit me, you can just go in directly. There is no need to walk around outside. It will make people feel annoyed."

Liu Nineteen's face trembled when he heard this, and he immediately retorted as if his hair had exploded: "Who wants to see you? I just... I just came to see if you are dead!"

As soon as she said this, Liu Nineteen withdrew her gaze, and then looked at Liu Qi with a cold face. After seeing that Liu Qi was intact and her face was ruddy without any sign of illness, she snorted lightly: "You Xu family members are just making a fuss!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Qi did not say anything more, but walked straight down the stairs. When she was at a position parallel to Liu Jiujiu's shoulder, she suddenly made a move, with the five fingers of her left hand slightly bent into a claw shape, and grabbed Liu Jiujiu's shoulder.

Liu Shijiu was startled when she saw Liu Qi's hand suddenly grabbing her, but her years of experience made her wake up instantly. She lowered her shoulders to avoid the attack, and her free hand stabbed towards Liu Qi's throat at lightning speed.

boom! boom! boom!
Liu Qi lightly raised his hand to block Nineteen's killing move, and then his arm wrapped around Liu Nineteen's arm like a spirit snake, and was about to grab Nineteen's throat.

Nineteen's face darkened, knowing it was too late to stop him, so he tapped his feet lightly, spread his arms like wings, and slid back a few steps, leaving Liu Qi's arm hanging in the air.

"What do you want to do?" Nineteen had just stood still and retracted his arms when he questioned Liu Qi.

Liu Qi slowly withdrew his hand, and then replied calmly: "I'm just testing whether your martial arts have improved."

She paused for a moment, glanced at Liu Shijiu's solemn face, and then continued, "With your current martial arts skills, you should control your temper in the future."

After saying that, without waiting for Liu Shijiu to speak, he just walked away!
Liu Nineteen's face turned pale and blue, then he looked up at Liu Qi's back, stomped his feet fiercely, and chased after Liu Qi angrily.

Today, Liu Qi had a hard battle with Xiu Shaoyang first, and then meditated for half a day after coming back. His energy consumption was quite large. Although Xu Qingtao brought a box of snacks to fill his stomach, Liu Qi still felt hungry at this time, so he walked towards the kitchen with ease.

Although the Xu family, to which Liu Qi belongs, were also descended from aristocratic families, they had separated from the main family a long time ago. Their wealth had only come from one or two generations, and their lives before that were not much different from those of ordinary people.

So even though the old house is quite large, there are only a few servants in the house, and most of them are responsible for cleaning and chores. In other words, each of the three mistresses has two maids who are responsible for sharing some of the housework.

The rest of the younger generations had basically no one to serve them, except Xu Fangfei, who was now the wife of the Prince of Anle, and had a few maids with her, whom she brought back from the capital.

However, this lifestyle, which seems simple to outsiders, is quite to Liu Qi's liking. When they are at Xiliu Villa, they do most things by themselves.

It was almost time for dinner. In the kitchen, a fat, white cook was busy at the stove, and there were two older cooks helping him.

So when Liu Qi came in, he smelled the fragrance of food. Following the scent, he found several dishes placed on the table nearby.

It should be prepared for dinner, it looks delicious.

Seeing that the three people in the kitchen were so busy that they didn't even notice that he had entered the kitchen, Liu Qi quietly looked for the bowl and chopsticks, and found the steamed rice that had already been steamed, and started eating in the kitchen.

By the time the kitchen staff found Liu Qi, the seven or eight dishes on the table had already been eaten! !
"Who are you!" The fat white cook shouted immediately after being reminded by the cook's wife, thinking who is so bold as to come to the kitchen to steal food!

As a result, when Liu Qi turned around, the fat white cook's face changed instantly, and then he quickly put down the spatula in his hand, hurriedly came forward, wiping the sweat from his face while bowing to Liu Qi.

"My humble servant Chang Lin greets the young lady!"

Chang Lin is not only the head chef of the Xu Mansion, but also the manager of the kitchen. His status is higher than that of ordinary servants, and he knows more about the situation in the mansion, so he knows that the third master's daughter who had been missing for more than ten years was recently found.

So he recognized Liu Qi at a glance. It was the second young lady who had just returned to the mansion and was cherished by several masters in the mansion!
Chang Lin looked up secretly and saw Liu Qi holding a bowl and chopsticks in her hands, with both cheeks looking puffy. His heart skipped a beat and he said quickly, "Miss, if you want to eat something, just send someone to tell us. Why bother to come here in person?"

Liu Qi swallowed the food in his mouth and waved his hand: "You guys are busy with your own things, no need to pay attention to me."

She will leave after she is full.

How could Chang Lin dare to ignore it, so he pulled the arm of the cook next to him and winked at her.

The cook was also smart. She came to her senses instantly, bowed to Liu Qi, and hurriedly left the kitchen, apparently to call for help.

Chang Lin heaved a sigh of relief at this moment, and then put on a flattering smile on his face: "Miss, what else do you want to eat? I will prepare it for you right away!"

Since people are already eating in the kitchen, Chang Lin will naturally serve them comfortably.

So when Miao hurried to the kitchen, before she even entered the room, she saw Liu Shijiu standing at the door like a door god, holding a short knife and looking at Miao and his group with unfriendly eyes.

Seeing Liu Shijiu's cold eyes, Miao couldn't help but tremble in her heart, but then she mustered up her courage and walked towards the kitchen door step by step.

After arriving at the door, Miao immediately saw Liu Qi sitting in the kitchen, eating heartily.

Under the shocked gazes of the cook Chang Lin and another cook, Liu Qi slowly put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands and let out a breath of contented breath!
There's nothing better than a hearty meal after a big battle!
Especially when he thought that the person who was defeated by him today was Xiu Shaoyang, one of the "Five Righteous Men" revered by the people in the martial arts world, the deputy leader of the Beggars' Sect, and known as "a man of great righteousness", Liu Qi felt even more delighted!

This means that she has become one of the top people in the martial arts world, and there are only a few people in this world who can threaten her.

No! Liu Qi narrowed his eyes slightly.

To be precise... there should only be those two!
Just as Liu Qi's heart was surging, a slightly anxious voice came from behind him: "Little sister, why are you eating here!"

Liu Qi slowly stood up and turned around, and saw Miao coming hurriedly, with even the hairpin on her head shaking violently.

"I'm just a little hungry. Sister-in-law, don't panic." Liu Qi said calmly, looking Miao up and down.

Unlike other people in the family, Miao did not seem that excited about Liu Qi's return. It was probably because she married into the Xu Mansion after Liu Qi disappeared, so she did not have many feelings for Liu Qi.

Miao is the daughter of my eldest uncle's sister, and is a cousin of my eldest brother Xu Qinghao, so my eldest aunt Fang is not only Miao's mother-in-law, but also her aunt.

In Liu Qi's previous life, this kind of marriage would naturally not be allowed, but in Da Qi, the union of Miao and Xu Qinghao was praised as a beautiful story of a closer relationship!
However, Liu Qi looked at Miao's two children, Xu Xinning and Xu Xian, and found them to be normal children, with nothing unusual.

Although Liu Qi said it was okay, Miao always felt that it was too shocking for an unmarried woman to eat and drink so much in the kitchen. But when she thought of her mother-in-law and two aunts' attitude towards Liu Qi, Miao could only suppress her dissatisfaction and persuade Liu Qi to leave with kind words.

"How do you do things!" Miao's stern voice came from the kitchen, "If this happens again next time, Chef Chang should find someone better!"

Liu Nineteen, who had just walked out of the back kitchen courtyard, heard this and quietly leaned his head close to Liu Qi's ear: "This Miao family seems to be a little dissatisfied with you!"

Liu Qi's eyes remained calm as always, and he ignored Liu Nineteen.

There is nothing perfect in this world. There are people in the Xu family who treat her so well that they want to open their hearts to her, and naturally there are also people who resent her because of it.

Liu Qi had witnessed the complex and dark side of human nature countless times during his time at Xiliu Villa.

Naturally, Liu Qi would not take such trivial matters at home to heart, and was even too lazy to pay attention to them.

Could it be that she has to use her martial arts skills in domestic disputes?
That's really ridiculous!

……

At the dinner at Xu's residence, Liu Qi, who had already eaten and drunk his fill, was absent as expected.

Miao carefully mentioned what happened to Liu Qi in the kitchen at the table, but right after she finished speaking, she was glared at by her aunt and mother-in-law.

Miao felt as if a dead fly was stuck in his throat!

"This child is the same. Since he is hungry, he could have asked the kitchen to send food to his room, but he insisted on going to the kitchen himself. I'm afraid of wasting time!" Tao saw that Miao was worried, so she smiled and said.

As a result, Xu Yonghuan, who was always serious when eating, quietly put down his bowl and chopsticks, and then said with a serious face: "Fang Fu is a man of the world, so it is inevitable that she does things in an unconventional way. It's just a few dishes, and our Xu family can afford it!"

"Sister-in-law, let me suggest this." Xu Yonghuan turned to Fang and discussed, "There is an unused yard not far from Fangfu's residence. Why not turn it into a kitchen for Fangfu to use."

"This kid has been in the martial arts world for so many years, so it's inevitable that her tastes are a little different from ours. How can we save her from having to accommodate us?"

"Sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, what do you think?"

Tao was about to decline the offer, but Fang nodded and made the decision: "I think it's a good idea. Let Qinghao's wife handle it!"

"Yes." Miao agreed with her head down, but the chopsticks in her hand were almost broken.

……

After returning to her room at night, Miao burst into tears in front of the maid she brought from her mother's home!
"It was clearly her fault, but she couldn't even say anything."

"When I gave birth to Xianzheng, I got sick and I begged my mother-in-law to open a small kitchen but failed. But she didn't even bother to ask!

"There is no place for me in this mansion!"

"Woooooooo..."

The head maid looked at Miao who was crying so hard that her heart was broken and could only echo: "Madam, calm down. Everyone in the mansion knows that you have worked hard and made great contributions!"

She lowered her voice and said, "Besides, you have Sister Ning and the young master backing you up, who would dare to look down on you?"

"That Miss Fangfu was just missing for many years, and the masters and ladies wanted to make up for her, so it was inevitable that she was a little spoiled for a while."

"It will be fine after some time!"

"Besides... it doesn't make sense for my sister-in-law to stay at home forever. She will get married sooner or later!"

Upon hearing this, Miao stopped sobbing.

……

At this time, in Qingjiang Prefecture.

Liu Qi stood on the roof with his hands behind his back, a full moon hanging in the sky behind him. Under the cold moonlight, Liu Qi's figure was as graceful as a fairy descending to earth.

She lowered her eyes slightly, locked onto a dark room in the backyard of the government office, and then opened her lips slightly: "Feng Qun, why don't you get out now!"

creak-

The door opened wide and Feng Qun, dressed neatly, walked out slowly. Just as he was about to look up, he heard a sharp scream suddenly in his ears.

"laugh--"

Feng Qun's heart trembled. He didn't dare to be careless at all. He instantly held up the golden energy. Then he looked up and saw a white light passing by. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether it was moonlight or sword light.

Click...

A slight cracking sound was heard.

Feng Qun's eyes were as big as copper bells as he watched the golden energy in front of him crack inch by inch, and then completely dissipate in the moonlight like smoke.

"Master Feng, it seems that your Buddhist energy is just this level."

Feng Qun turned his head suddenly and saw a graceful figure appearing beside him.

It’s Liu Qi!

Liu Qi glanced at Feng Qun, who was in shock, and then said softly, "I heard you wanted to see me?"

Feng Qun took a deep breath and calmed the turbulent blood in his body. At the same time, he turned sideways and looked up at Liu Qi deeply.

This woman seemed even more terrifying than the last time they fought!

He retracted his gaze and held his breath, then said in a deep voice: "Didn't the girl say that she wanted to see the supreme Buddhist technique, the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art, with her own eyes?"

Liu Qi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he waited silently for Feng Qun's next words.

Feng Qun raised his head and glanced at the bright moonlight, then said in a deep voice: "The magic power will be seen again tonight!"
