Immortality Begins by Taking Care of Master’s Wife – Chapter 2

Chapter 2: The Golden Finger Arrives, Wind and Moon Mirror

“A commoner’s wrath, blood splattered five steps!”
The cold blade and chilling gaze startled Qin Lao Han, especially the sting on his neck, which made him afraid to move a muscle.

“Xiao… Xiao Chen, don’t… don’t be impulsive, we can talk things over…”

“Give me the money or the person, I’m counting to three!”

Zhou Chen’s voice was icy, unmoved.

“Three…”

“I’ll give it!”

“I’ll give you the person!”

Qin Lao Han yelled as a trickle of blood slid down his neck.

He had no doubt that if he hesitated any longer, Zhou Chen would really slit his throat.

“I’ll come to pick her up in an hour!”

Zhou Chen dropped these words and left directly.

“Hiss, when did this kid become so ruthless?”

Staring at Zhou Chen’s departing figure, Qin Lao Han touched the bloodstain on his neck, sucking in a breath of cold air, still shaken.

“This kid must be crazy, forget it, I’m not going to risk my life with him!”

Qin Lao Han’s eyes flickered, finally shaking his head and telling Qin Hong Yu to pack and prepare.

Zhou Chen went home, put the hare away, tidied up his room, and pasted a few double happiness characters.

Cao Lao Tou had already prepared these things.

It wasn’t troublesome.

He also borrowed a jin of rice from Wang Er Niu’s family to cook, stewed the rabbit, and then went to Qin Lao Han’s house to bring Qin Hong Yu, now dressed in a bridal gown, back home!

In these times, survival was already difficult, there was no need for so many formalities.

The most important thing was.

He had no money.

…

Night fell, and the stars were like water.

Zhou Chen and Qin Hong Yu returned to their room after eating and drinking their fill. The candlelight flickered, blending with the blush on Qin Hong Yu’s cheeks, adding to her alluring charm.

Zhou Chen gazed at the shy beauty. She wasn’t exactly breathtaking, but she possessed a delicate and refined beauty. He had to admit, Cao Lao Tou had a good eye.

He naturally knew Qin Hong Yu.

He and Cao Lao Tou had been in Da He Village for eight years.

“Brother Chen, what are you looking at?”

Qin Hong Yu was embarrassed by Zhou Chen’s gaze, shyly pouting, her fingers twisting her clothes, her head lowered.

“Looking at a beauty like jade, a sight to behold!”

Zhou Chen held Qin Hong Yu’s soft little hand and smiled:

“It’s getting late, let’s rest.”

“Mhm.”

Qin Hong Yu nodded slightly, her voice as soft as a mosquito’s hum, her already rosy cheeks flushed crimson.

She didn’t dislike Zhou Chen, in fact, she was quite satisfied.

Zhou Chen was young and handsome.

Compared to Cao Lao Tou, she preferred Zhou Chen.

But as a woman, she had no say in the matter. If Qin Lao Han wanted her to marry Cao Lao Tou, she had to marry him.

Cao Lao Tou’s death might actually be a good thing for her.

The beauty was shy, her soul-stirring charm captivating.

Zhou Chen cupped her rosy cheeks, lowered his head, and kissed her cherry-red lips. The temperature in the room rose, becoming heated.

The stars twinkled, as if winking.

The bright moon, embarrassed, hid behind the clouds, revealing only half its face.

Midnight.

“Good man, no more, please spare me…”

Qin Hong Yu murmured, leaning against Zhou Chen’s chest, exhausted and content, falling into a deep sleep.

Suddenly, Zhou Chen’s body trembled, and he fainted.

His consciousness drifted into a gray, hazy space. There was no time or space, no up or down, left or right. No sun, moon, or stars. No living creatures. Only chaos.

After an unknown amount of time, the chaotic energy surged, and Zhou Chen suddenly saw a purple lightning bolt tear through the chaos, separating Yin and Yang. Light appeared between heaven and earth.

A dazzling light!
The light filled Zhou Chen’s consciousness, and he vaguely saw that the source of the light was an incredibly vast and magnificent stone mirror.

“Opening the primordial chaos, who is the seed of love? All for the sake of deep romance…”

A faint, ethereal Daoist chant echoed in his ears, and Zhou Chen was completely immersed in it.

“Brother Chen!”

“Brother Chen, what’s wrong?”

“Wake up!”

Anxious calls abruptly woke Zhou Chen.

At this moment.

He clearly sensed an ancient stone mirror floating in his mind.

“Wind and Moon Mirror?”

Zhou Chen understood instinctively. His consciousness observed the mirror, his heart surging with excitement.

“Is this my golden finger arriving?”

“The same one from Dream of the Red Chamber?”

“Could it be because I read a Red Chamber fan fiction and had a dream before I transmigrated?” Zhou Chen’s thoughts raced. Regardless, having something was better than nothing.

Besides, he felt that this stone mirror was very powerful.

Suddenly.

Golden characters appeared in the stone mirror, forming a panel:
[Wind and Moon Mirror]

[Master: Zhou Chen]

[Cultivation Technique: None]

[Realm: None]

[Supernatural Ability: Thunderclap Wish-Fulfilling Hand]

[Skills: Archery （Proficient 15/20）, Tracking （Proficient 5/20）, Trap Setting （Proficient 2/20）, Throwing （Proficient 8/20）, Fishing （Entry Level 6/10）…]

[Romance Points: 69]

“Thunderclap Wish-Fulfilling Hand?”

Zhou Chen’s eyes flickered. He had learned the Orchid Acupoint Hand from Cao Lao Tou.

It was a third-rate martial art.

But this martial art was severely incomplete. It lacked the fundamental training method, only having moves and fighting styles. It had no real power.

Even though Cao Lao Tou had practiced it for decades, he was still an ordinary person. At most, his hands were more flexible and agile, his hand speed faster, but he couldn’t become a true martial artist!
[Thunderclap Wish-Fulfilling Hand: Palm containing thunder, fast as lightning, follows one’s heart’s desire, super fast hand speed]

Zhou Chen quickly grasped the relevant information.

So the scene he saw in his dream last night was the birth of the Wind and Moon Mirror. That was the great opportunity for the Wind and Moon Mirror to recognize its master.

If a powerful cultivator had seen it, they could have easily achieved a breakthrough through enlightenment.

Unfortunately, Zhou Chen didn’t understand martial arts and had no cultivation. He only knew a severely incomplete Orchid Acupoint Hand.

Fortunately, it wasn’t a complete loss.

After witnessing the birth of the Wind and Moon Mirror, the incomplete Orchid Acupoint Hand had awakened a supernatural ability ━ Thunderclap Wish-Fulfilling Hand.

“Brother Chen, what’s wrong?”

Qin Hong Yu waved her hand in front of Zhou Chen’s eyes. Seeing him unresponsive, she became even more panicked and shook his shoulder.

Zhou Chen came back to his senses and temporarily put aside the matter of the Wind and Moon Mirror. He smiled gently and reassured her, “I’m fine, I just suddenly thought of something!”

His gaze towards Qin Hong Yu became even more affectionate.

As expected.

Only by getting married could he activate his golden finger!

“Phew! It’s good that you’re alright. You scared me to death!”

Qin Hong Yu patted her ample chest, looking relieved.

If something had happened to Zhou Chen the day after she arrived, wouldn’t she be considered a jinx, a woman who brings bad luck to her husband?
Besides, she had a good impression of Zhou Chen, especially after truly becoming his woman last night. From the bottom of her heart, she considered him her husband.

As for Zhou Chen threatening her father with a knife, she didn’t care. Her father had gone too far, trying to renege on his debt.

That was ten taels of silver!

One tael of silver was enough to make people risk their lives!
“Don’t worry, I’m in good health!”

Zhou Chen patted Qin Hong Yu’s head and teased:
“Besides, you know, don’t you?”

Qin Hong Yu blushed, her eyes shy. She quickly changed the subject:
“Brother Chen, the food is warm, it’ll get cold soon, let’s go eat!”

“Okay!”

Zhou Chen quickly got dressed and got out of bed, full of energy and refreshed.

The meal was leftovers from last night, with some rabbit meat remaining.

Qin Hong Yu ate very little, and Zhou Chen finished the rest.

He had expended quite a bit of energy last night.

Well-fed and warm, thoughts turn to…

But seeing that dinner was still not settled, Zhou Chen had to temporarily suppress his desire to explore the Wind and Moon Points with Qin Hong Yu.

“Hong Yu, you rest well at home, I’m going hunting!”

“Brother Chen, be careful, don’t go too deep into the mountains!”

Although Qin Hong Yu was worried, she didn’t try to dissuade him.

Their family was already struggling to make ends meet.

“Don’t worry, I wouldn’t bear to leave you a widow so soon!”

Zhou Chen smiled, carrying his back basket, bow and arrows, firewood chopper, and trident as he left home, preparing to study the point allocation system.

“Yo, isn’t this Little Chen Zi?”

“I heard you finally married your master’s wife after threatening Qin Lao Han with a knife. Look at your radiant face, your master’s wife must be very smooth!”

Two thugs, each with a short saber hanging from their waists, walked towards Zhou Chen with swaggering steps and wicked smiles.

“Good dogs don’t block the way, move aside!”

Seeing that the two were not friendly, Zhou Chen didn’t hold back.

Those who are good are bullied.

Those who are weak are ridden.

Although he had intimidated Qin Lao Han with a knife yesterday, he couldn’t intimidate these two thugs.

“Damn it, you little brat, you really think you’re somebody just because you drew a little blood from Qin Lao Tou with a broken firewood chopper?”

Er Ma Zi raised an eyebrow, drawing his short saber, a sneer on his lips:
“You little brat got married and didn’t even invite me to your wedding banquet or to Wedding Night. You even dare to show off in front of me? If I don’t draw some blood from you today, you’ll really think I’m made of mud!”

He pointed his short saber at Zhou Chen’s chest, his face fierce.

Zhou Chen reached out and grabbed it. Before Er Ma Zi could react, the short saber was already in Zhou Chen’s hand, and his entire arm was numb!
Thunderclap Wish-Fulfilling Hand, palm containing thunder, striking like lightning!
Super fast hand speed!
Ye Gou was shocked and hurriedly reached for his short saber, only to discover that the saber at his waist had somehow also fallen into Zhou Chen’s hand.

“How is this possible?”
