Marrying a White Snake Wife is Super Cool-Chapter 105 - 84: Auntie Will Listen to You From Now On~
The system’s sudden notification sound...
Lu Yuan froze for a moment. ’Huh?’
’A Multiplication Factor reward?’
Come to think of it, Lu Yuan really hadn’t paid much attention to the Multiplication Factor above Song Meiqin’s head before.
Now, some might say, ’Hey, are you blind? How could you not see the big number floating over her head?’
In reality, the display for Lu Yuan’s Eye of Insight system could be turned off.
For the past month or so, Lu Yuan hadn’t gone out much, just staying cooped up at home every day.
Naturally, he didn’t need to turn that thing on.
Even now that he was out, Lu Yuan rarely used it.
After all, it felt weird seeing strings of numbers above everyone’s heads wherever he went, like they were all NPCs in a game.
So, Lu Yuan always kept it turned off.
As for Song Meiqin’s Multiplication Factor, he really hadn’t paid it any mind.
It was that night when he went to Xilingzi that he had suddenly received a Multiplication Factor reward from Song Meiqin.
He seemed to recall the reward was something called *True Martial*.
However, after returning from Xilingzi, Lu Yuan had been too busy, with one thing piling on top of another.
Between building the factory, designing products, and reading *Craftsmanship*, he had completely forgotten about that *True Martial* book.
And he hadn’t thought of it since.
What Lu Yuan was curious about now was something else.
’Hadn’t Song Meiqin’s Multiplication Factor reached 9 already?’
After all, regarding their relationship, they both knew exactly where they stood.
Even if he got drunk one night and suddenly felt the urge...
He could pin Song Meiqin to the bed and have his way with her all night, and there probably wouldn’t be any consequences the next day.
Lu Yuan mulled it over. ’Maybe it’s because there was still a formal barrier in their relationship?’
Even though both Aunt Zhao and Song Meiqin were widows, their situations were actually quite different.
Aunt Zhao wasn’t technically a widow.
She had simply chosen not to remarry.
After all, on her wedding night, Aunt Zhao had slaughtered the entire family like pigs.
The next day, she was still Zhao Qiao’Er, not some Madam Liu, First Lady, or Eldest Young Madam.
But Song Meiqin was different; she was a proper, bona fide widow.
In name, she was still someone else’s wife.
And now, Song Meiqin had decided to abandon this status. Once that status was gone...
Naturally, her Multiplication Factor finally became 9.
Anyway, that’s what Lu Yuan believed.
As for whether it was true or not, Lu Yuan couldn’t say for sure.
After all, he didn’t really spend much time studying his system.
He had gotten to where he was today all thanks to his own hard work!
’Why study the system?’
’I won’t!’
Lu Yuan simply scooped up Song Meiqin and started walking. Snapping out of their stupor, Zhao Qiao’Er and Su Liyan stared blankly for a second.
Then their faces lit up with joy, and they immediately hurried to follow him.
Just then, the old woman finally reacted.
’Unbelievable.’
’This is just unbelievable!!’
’Barging into the Liu Mansion and just taking someone?!!!’
Having come to her senses, the old woman immediately roared:
"Seize them!!"
Following the old woman’s order, the Mansion Guards were quickly mobilized.
But at the same time,
Lu Yuan’s side was not to be outdone.
The old butler, who hadn’t left yet, took out a whistle with a cold expression and blew it sharply.
A shrill whistle blast echoed through the Liu Mansion.
Almost at the same instant,
The Mansion Guards and the Zhao Family’s Travelers were all on the scene.
The numbers on both sides were nearly equal.
Although the Liu Mansion had many Mansion Guards, not all of them had arrived—only about fifty or sixty.
As for the Zhao Family’s Travelers, they were the same ones who had followed Lu Yuan to Xilingzi.
Every last one of them was present.
These Travelers weren’t the least bit intimidated by the Mansion Guards, nor did they care if the situation escalated and hundreds more guards showed up.
The Zhao Family Travelers were full of confidence.
The source of their confidence was the Flintlock Guns in their hands.
After returning from Xilingzi that night, they had put away the Mortars.
However, the Flintlock Guns had been in constant use.
They trained with them daily.
From time to time, they would head into the mountains to shoot a bird, a rabbit, or what have you.
Furthermore, Lu Yuan had taught them what a rapid-fire formation was.
As the Travelers raised their Flintlock Guns and primed them all,
A commotion broke out among the Mansion Guards.
Some of them dodged and ducked, terrified that the muzzles were aimed at them.
Seeing this commotion, the old woman cursed them for being useless.
"What’s there to be afraid of from these men holding fire pokers!"
However, no matter how much the old woman cursed from behind or ordered them to attack,
The Mansion Guards just didn’t dare to advance.
Some even looked like they wanted to run.
The biggest reason was that half of these Mansion Guards had previously served under Song Meiqin.
And the guards who had followed Song Meiqin had all been to Xilingzi.
These men knew damn well that those things were no fucking fire pokers.
They were goddamn Life-taking Talismans from King Yama!
When they had all gone to the mountain to clear out the undead, these Travelers had shown them just how powerful those things were.
A single shot would likely punch clean through a man’s body.
They were even more powerful than the Firearms used by the Lord Soldiers of the Firearms Camp!
Half of the guards knew what they were looking at and were now scared stiff.
And while the other half didn’t recognize the weapons, they weren’t idiots.
The men next to them were scared witless.
When the Zhao Family members across from them raised those long tubes, these guards looked like they wanted to turn and run on the spot.
Even a fool could tell you’d be finished if you got hit by one of those things.
As the standoff grew increasingly tense, a sudden clamor erupted from outside.
Then, a loud shout rang out:
"What’s going on here!!
What do you think you’re all doing!!"
