Supreme Emperor of Mist

Chapter 95: House Arrest

"We've found the body of both of them! They're still alive!" the people that busy removing the rubble away from the collapsed tunnel shouted as they notice the bottom half of the two cultivators stuck under the stack of rocks.

And from how they keep twitching, it means that both of them were still alive, although none of them are capable of moving right now.

This finding made the people more energetic as they work harder to rescue both of them. As they're afraid to cause the cave to collapse once more, the rescue operation is going on slowly as they selected which piece of rubble to be removed first.

That's also why the two cultivators were unable to notice what's was going out at the other half of their body exposed outside the tunnel. Furthermore, all their attention is placed on the battle between Qin Lan and the Raging Beast Soldier because it might benefit them and their cultivation in the future.

"Look at how both of them are twitching... It must hurt to be crushed under the weight of the rubble, unable to move an inch..." one of the youngsters said while they move the rocks away from the cave.

"But there's another sound further inside the cave. I wonder what's happening in there. Do you think... Maybe... The Thundercry Lion is nearby?" another youngster added.

"Shh... Keep your mouth shut, and don't talk about that here. If that Thundercry Lion is really behind this rubble, we're going to be the first to die when it attacks us." the first youngster said.

"Be-Ne-Fac-Tor..."

"Eh? Did you hear that?" the youngster that stands on top of the boulder asked.

"Hear what?"

"They're calling for the benefactor! I think our mister benefactor is inside as well!" his announcement made everyone else fired up.

"Then what are you all waiting for? Quickly move the rock! If they're injured, we can heal them when we brought them back to the village!" the Village Chief that heard his word urged everyone to work harder the moment he heard that Qin Lan might be inside the cave too.

...

...

"Be careful!" one of the cultivators screamed as he's unable to hold himself any longer. His shout that somehow managed to make the Raging Beast Soldier took a peek ended up created a chance for Qin Lan to land a finishing blow.

"One Spear Ruling the World!" Qin Lan made a stabbing action using the Pillar of Heaven in his hand. The blow that seems straightforward blew the Raging Beast Soldier's skull into pieces the moment it connected.

Not even the lightning spark is capable of withstanding this attack.

Qin Lan stares at the body of the Raging Beast Soldier on the ground. The body still twitches even after the head has been blown into bits. But after a few minutes, it finally stops as all the motor controlling the body has ceased.

He then collected the corpse into his Spatial Jade before moving over to the cave entrance filled with rubbles.

"Golden Lord's Holy Fist!" Qin Lan used the remaining Spiritual Energy he has to open a passage leading outside of the cave. After that, he was too tired to remember what happened as Qin Lan fainted at where he stands.

...

...

"Husband, are you awake?" the next moment when he opened his eyes, Qin Lan was already lying on the bed he shared with Hu Jia.

Did I not fainted at the cave..." Qin Lan rubbed the two acupoints located around his temple as he tried to remember something.

"You're lucky it's Lu Yi, Huo Zunjie, and elder brother Qin Fan who accepted the quest to rescue you yesterday... They brought you back after they noticed that you're injured in the fight against the Thundercry Lion."

"You won't have to worry about the villagers as they're feeling thankful about how you cleared that cave for them." Hu Jia added as she adjusted herself over to Qin Lan's back and started to give him a proper head massage.

"I'm feeling much better. Sorry to make you worry." Qin Lan enjoyed his head massage as he slowly rested his head on top of Hu Jia's voluptuous chest. It was like two soothing pillows capable of removing all the buildup stress in Qin Lan's mind.

"You should enjoy it while you can... There's more for you to do after this." Hu Jia's tone was as gentle as ever, but her facial expression seems to be otherwise. A hint of anger appeared on her face as she gritted her teeth together while holding the urge to give Qin Lan a smack.

"My wife, my headache is no more. Let's get something to eat before we went back to the bed..." Qin Lan turned around and hugged Hu Jia.

"Eat? Are you hungry, my dearest husband?" Hu Jia asked.

"Yes. I'm... What's with your hand? Why is the fist? Wife?"

"Wife?"

"Wifeeeeee!!!"

...

...

"Sorry for making all of you wait! Our Essence Transformation Pill is now back on sale again! Feel free to leave an order, and we'll be back to you in no time!" Hu Jia happily collected the Contribution points into her Disciple Token.

After almost a month of delay, their stall finally returns to the business. The main attraction is still the Essence Transformation Pill that everyone sought after.

As for Qin Lan, he's under house arrest.

Although it hurts Hu Jia's feeling for treating her husband this way, it is not wrong either as the previous two weeks were comparable to hell. Disciples from all twelve dwellings came to disturb her daily due to the delay in delivering the Essence Transformation Pill.

"Sorry, young master... We wish to help you, but we don't dare to confront big sister Hu Jia when she's angry..." Lu Qing Yun said.

"Sorry, Lan-Er... We've promise Hu Jia that we will not help you in this matter. You're on your own this time." Qin Fan and Qin Chan shook their head as they can't do anything either this time.

The house arrest continued until a week is over.

His life returns to normal after the Spiritual Lock is finally removed from the door.
