"Since I told you, naturally there is no problem. You can go back and deal with this woman."
Shen Wang said, and it was more justified to have Paper Kite handle the punishment.
"Hmm, I will make sure she remembers her lesson."
Paper Kite nodded and went with Shen Wang to the Celestial Crystal Restaurant, which had already been bought, so they stayed there as they pleased.
While Shen Wang was bathing, Paper Kite instructed the kitchen to prepare some food and served Shen Wang as he started eating.
While eating, she added something to her teacup, saying, "This thing was given to me by Du Juan, saying it could beautify and maintain a youthful look."
Shen Wang took the tea packet, glanced at it, and frowned: "Do you want to have children with me?"
Paper Kite was slightly stunned and said, "To leave descendants for my husband is a blessing for me."
"Then don’t drink this anymore; this thing causes infertility."
Shen Wang coldly slammed the teacup on the table: "If you want to be beautiful, you have to pay a price."
Paper Kite’s face turned pale again, and she trembled with anger: "She did this on purpose!"
"This person cannot be kept."
Shen Wang had already developed a murderous intent. He could tolerate Du Juan seducing him but would never allow anyone to cut off his descendants.
He suddenly understood why Paper Kite, after following him for more than a month, still showed no signs of pregnancy; it was mostly due to the influence of this medicinal tea.
"I understand, but she is also part of the Yun Family, killing her might get complicated."
Paper Kite was troubled; her status was not much higher than Du Juan’s, and executing this clan member was somewhat difficult.
"Then I’ll do it; you just provide her location."
Shen Wang’s face was cold; some lines should not be crossed.
"Yes, husband, be careful. Although she is just an ordinary clan member and has no Immortal Root, you know how complicated our kind of cultivation clan is, her close relatives might inquire about her death."
Paper Kite said seriously.
Shen Wang took a packet of medicinal tea and asked, "Does her family have any powerful cultivators?"
"Seems like there’s a Foundation Establishment Cultivator."
Paper Kite thought for a moment and said.
"Shouldn’t be a problem."
Shen Wang nodded, looking at Paper Kite: "Judging by this incident, you deal with a lot of scheming, and as your status rises, such matters will increase. While you’re not pregnant, quickly break through to the Innate stage. Strength is your ultimate trump card. Even if you rely on me, I need to be by your side."
Paper Kite was moved and got up to bow: "Thank you, husband, for your guidance."
She felt more and more that her husband was different from other men; few men would encourage a woman to be independent, most would want the woman to rely on them.
"Have some food. The tea you drank wasn’t entirely bad; in the short term, your Blood Qi is full, which is suitable for a breakthrough. Once you reach Innate and circulate your Qi in Grand Circulation, we can engage in Dual Cultivation, and the subsequent improvement will be easier."
Shen Wang placed a piece of meat on Paper Kite’s dish.
Paper Kite’s eyes welled with tears, looking tenderly at Shen Wang: "Husband, not even my parents have considered me as much as you have."
"I am now the closest person to you. If I don’t consider you, who will?"
Shen Wang reached out and wiped away Paper Kite’s tears: "Eat up."
Paper Kite smiled through her tears, feeling ever more beloved of Shen Wang, willing to die for her husband.
Shen Wang greatly enjoyed this feeling of family warmth.
Looking at Paper Kite, thinking of his original home, he suddenly missed his sister. He wondered how that girl was doing now.
Once he found the source of Spiritual Qi here, he would find an opportunity to go back next year.
"The family will also come to worship the ancestors in early spring, just under three months left. I wonder if my sister will come."
After pondering for a moment, Shen Wang finished eating, and along with Paper Kite, left the town swiftly, arriving at Baixi City.
Returning to the Celestial Commerce Association, Du Juan, seeing Paper Kite and Shen Wang, awkwardly avoided them, not knowing her end was near.
Fortunately, Shen Wang did not rush to kill and was merely preparing to act secretly, discreetly buying a puppet through the commerce association.
This kind of special Magical Artifact is rare, and the branch here was too small, lacking stock, requiring an order from headquarters.
Shen Wang did not want to waste time and had Paper Kite help him find a Talisman Collection, then switched shops to inquire.
At the Hengchang Commerce Association, Wu Jieqi happened to be present, smiling: "Long time no see, Daoist friend. What do you need?"
"I wanted to buy some puppets for digging cave mansions, do you have any?"
Shen Wang did not expect to meet Wu Jieqi, who, like Yun Conghui, was a steward in the commerce association, representing the headquarters and having a status above shopkeepers, rarely seen.
"Ah, puppets for digging, what bad luck, they just ran out."
Wu Jieqi shook his head: "You know we previously captured that Carp Spirit and used up the shop’s stock of puppets to excavate the lakebed, which were destroyed."
"Even digging into the lakebed?"
Shen Wang was surprised.
"Yes, that creature had a hiding place under the lake, and it took us a long time to catch it."
Wu Jieqi was helpless: "Thankfully, in the end, we weren’t at a loss, otherwise it would have been quite embarrassing."
"That’s good. Since you don’t have any, I shall take my leave."
Shen Wang did not ask more.
"Daoist friend, don’t rush; since we’ve met, there is one more thing. Our association is going to hold an auction at the headquarters, and we’d like to invite you to join. That Carp Spirit will be in the auction, and there are many other fine items, so please come take a look."
Wu Jieqi suddenly thought of something and hurriedly said. Although Shen Wang looked shabby, he was nevertheless a Grandmaster; inviting him to add numbers was acceptable.
Shen Wang showed some interest. He had been earning more Spirit Stones lately, so he could attend an auction.
"Early March in the coming year; here’s the invitation. If you’re interested, please honor us with your presence."
Wu Jieqi handed over an invitation card.
"Alright, if I need anything, I’ll go. Goodbye."
Shen Wang accepted the invitation and quickly left.
He entered another store, the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower, finding that they had digging puppets. No wonder they were a grand commerce association, with a more abundant inventory.
However, learning the puppet’s price, Shen Wang still felt a bit stung and ultimately spent nearly six hundred Spirit Stones acquiring three low-level puppets.
He went to the Thousand Gold Medicine Tower and bought a medical compendium with various common prescriptions and some medicinal materials, spending over three hundred more Spirit Stones.
Returning to the Celestial Commerce Association’s store, obtaining a Basic Talisman Manual, Shen Wang’s Spirit Stones decreased significantly, down by over a thousand.
This made him skip going to the mining site and instead go home to nurture the meridians of Jia’Er and his daughter, earning a wave of system rewards, making him feel a bit better.
Before it was dark, Shen Wang took out the Basic Talisman Manual, finding the Earth Stabilizing Talisman within.
This Talisman stabilized soil and rocks, mostly used in building foundations. Like the Fireball Talisman, it also had grades and was fairly straightforward. However, advanced Earth Stabilizing Talismans could even counter the Earth Escape Technique, proving valuable in certain situations.
The Earth Stabilizing Talisman was an Earth Rune, not too difficult, but consumed a lot of Spiritual Power. Before dark, Shen Wang managed to draw three low-level Earth Stabilizing Talismans, capable of stabilizing soil and rocks below ten cubits.
