The Dominance of the Son-in-Law: My Wealthy and Beautiful Wife

Chapter 406 - 406: Map, Desert!

"Where is this place exactly?"

Qin Feng asked hurriedly.

This map was hidden in an underground palace in Xiaozhai Village, and as to whom the palace belonged, that remained unknown.

But the fact that treasures like the Separation Fire Essence were there,

indicated that the palace was extraordinary.

Therefore, the Treasure Map that appeared there was also no trivial matter.

Which is why Qin Feng took the Treasure Map back with him.

At that moment the parrot looked as if it remembered something unpleasant, its face showing panic as it flapped its wings non-stop, crying out, "Devil, devil..."

Qin Feng was rendered speechless and with a "smack," he slapped its head, sending it flying to the ground, upon which it calmed down a little.

"Speak up, where exactly does this Treasure Map lead to!" Qin Feng demanded again.

"The Ancient City in the Tamu Desert..."

The parrot began to recount.

It had been to Tianshan once.

There was a shortcut to Tianshan: passing through the Tamu Desert.

The Tamu Desert was vast in size, one thousand kilometers from east to west, and around four hundred kilometers from north to south; for a Spirit Bird, it was extremely challenging.

But, chasing after a beautiful, long-tailed bunting, it pressed on bravely.

Several times, it nearly met its demise.

Luckily, it bumped into a group of travelers, drank their water, ate their food, and that's how it managed to survive.

The group was heading to the Tamu Desert, searching for an ancient city buried under the desert sands.

Eventually, that group encountered an emergency, and all perished.

The parrot was fortunate enough to escape.

"So that's how it is."

After listening, Qin Feng nodded and said, "Great, you'll take me there later."

Upon hearing this, the parrot's feathers stood on end in terror, it shook its head and waved its hands frantically, refusing to go by any means.

"Not going, is that it?" Qin Feng extended his index finger which immediately sparked a flame, and said, "If you don't go, I'll roast and eat you!"

The parrot, seeing this, panicked to the verge of tears.

Action was taken immediately. Find the translation on MV&LEMPYR.

One cannot hesitate on a treasure hunt.

That same day, Qin Feng started packing his things.

The next morning,

after waking up, Qin Feng looked at Xu Yunxiao as she changed her clothes with her back to him, and his heart swelled with happiness. He said, "Wife, I'm going to be away on a trip for a while."

"Oh? Is that so? Are you leaving today?"

Xu Yunxiao seemed preoccupied and hesitated for a moment.

"Something the matter?" Qin Feng asked, noticing her behavior.

"No, just... can't it be postponed for a day or two?" Xu Yunxiao asked again.

"Of course, it can. If you have something going on, your needs come first. You're my top priority!" Qin Feng replied, "What happened exactly?"

"I told you, nothing." Xu Yunxiao replied, "Okay then, you go to work! And be safe out there."

After she left, Qin Feng, still puzzled by her demeanor, called Xiao Lian, asking her to arrange for someone to take care of Xu Yunxiao during this time and to deal with any trouble that might arise.

Then,

he packed the parrot in a cardboard box and boarded the train.

There was no choice.

Shamen City, the closest city to the Tamu Desert, only had train service, no flights.

While checking in at the station,

Fei Long called to report good news, "Mr. Qin, we've settled things with the Long Family. They've agreed to sell us sixty percent of their shares for fifty billion. Heh heh!"

"Hm, very good, keep up the effort!"

"Mr. Qin, now all that's left is to deal with the Dong Family from Han City, and we will be able to dominate Hanjiang Province. I still think it should be you who takes action. It's not that I'm scared, but it's always better to resolve issues using that method, rather than through violence. And that girl from the Dong Family, she's genuinely impressive..."

Fei Long talked on and on without stopping.

Qin Feng directly interrupted him and said, "Cut the crap. There's no need to rush into expansion now. Dragon Sect defeating Qingyang Pavilion is bound to attract the attention of some powers in the Hidden World, so what you need now is to improve your own cultivation and strength. Besides, the name 'Dragon Sect' is really not appealing. Don't you know there's another called 'Supreme Dragon Gate' in the Hidden World?"

"We didn't think that much when naming it..."

"Alright, I'm still sticking to what I said, find a group of talents with outstanding potential and absolute loyalty for focused training. You have also been given plenty of Elixirs, and you have the guidance of Tan Xiao Monk."

"Okay, okay..."

He hung up the phone.

Qin Feng curled his lips and muttered, "Asking me to handle Dong Haimei? What a joke! What about my wife? The best method is not to keep on expanding blindly, but to develop and strengthen ourselves. Once we have enough strength, those opponents will naturally become no longer opponents, but vassals."

The journey is quite long.

It takes one day and one night.

So Qin Feng bought a sleeper berth.

He carried his suitcase to his compartment.

There were four beds in the compartment, and only one was occupied. The person was not there at the moment, making it nice and quiet with fewer people.

He tossed his suitcase onto the upper bunk and then lay down to rest.

After a moment.

He heard some noise outside.

"Hai Mei, just listen to me! Sacrificing the rook to save the king. It's crucial to save our lives, so stop competing with Red Dragon Villa, it's meaningless..."

"..."

The voice grew louder as it approached.

Qin Feng felt suspicious for a moment, recognizing the voice as somewhat familiar.

And... Hai Mei?

Dong Haimei?

As he was wondering, the door to the compartment opened.

Sure enough!

The person who came in was Dong Haimei!

Dressed in black boots and a black trench coat, she exuded a powerful aura, coupled with stunning beauty, showcasing the demeanor of a queen.

"It's you?"

Dong Haimei also froze for a second upon seeing Qin Feng.

Jiang Ziqiu, who was following behind her, was frozen as well.

Ever since Dong Haimei started treating him as her "fiancé," he had always hated Qin Feng and now here he was, bumping into him again.

"Why are you here?"

Jiang Ziqiu's eyebrows raised.

"Of course I'm traveling."

Qin Feng shrugged.

Jiang Ziqiu came up sullenly and grabbed his collar, saying, "Kid, you'd better scram quickly. This is Miss Dong's compartment. No one is allowed to stay here!"

"..."

Qin Feng was speechless.

After finding out the person in this compartment was Dong Haimei, his first thought was also to switch places.

No choice.

She always treated him as her "fiancé," which was too troublesome.

But seeing Jiang Ziqiu's attitude, he decided not to switch. He pursed his lips and said, "The ticket I bought is for this place. What right do you have to tell me to move?"

"What right do I have?" Jiang Ziqiu scoffed disdainfully, "Before you got here, several others were assigned to this compartment. They didn't agree to switch beds either. Want to know what happened to them? They've already been kicked off the train!"

"Jiang Ziqiu!"

Dong Haimei called out with a cold face at this moment, "I've told you, I don't want to see you again. Your place is not in this compartment, please leave!!"

"..."

Jiang Ziqiu's face turned ashen.

He wanted to persuade Dong Haimei further, but seeing that she seemed truly angered, he didn't dare to offend her deeply and could only glare at Qin Feng, "Hmph, you remember this!"

With that, he left in a huff.

Qin Feng didn't bother with him and said to Dong Haimei, "Thanks, but there's something I'd like to discuss with you."
