**Chapter 24: Evil People Have Their Own Trials and Tribulations**
At this moment, in Osmanthus Village, at the Xiao family residence.
"Husband, your body seems to be getting stronger."
Mu Qingyao's pretty face was slightly flushed, and her beautiful eyes sparkled like water, making her look extremely charming.
She lay quietly in Xiao Fan's arms, her soft hands gently tracing his abdominal muscles.
Now she felt that this man's body was simply sculpted, looking exceptionally perfect.
Especially his skin, which was as smooth as silk and free of any scars.
It was enough to make women all over the world envious.
This made her feel a little bit extravagant.
"Well, my martial arts cultivation has improved a bit; I am now a Flesh Refining Realm warrior."
Xiao Fan smiled slightly and embraced this beauty.
He also sensed that the woman in his arms had a very special physique.
Initially, he thought that as his strength increased, Mu Qingyao might struggle to keep up.
But Mu Qingyao was not like that. Instead, she gradually adapted and seemed to become even stronger.
It was truly incredible.
"Has your strength really increased again?"
Mu Qingyao was immediately overjoyed.
She understood what a Flesh Refining Realm warrior represented. Even among the members of the Dragon King Gang, he would undoubtedly be considered elite. He was fully capable of becoming a big boss and commanding dozens of subordinates.
With such martial prowess, one could even secure a position as a yamen servant in Tonghe County.
Even if he stopped being a fisherman and pursued something else, he would still have options.
"Yes, which means my appetite has increased."
"Maybe I will head to Tonghe County today to buy more grain."
Xiao Fan replied.
"Um."
"I will stay at home and wait for you to return."
Hearing this, Mu Qingyao nodded. Although she knew that going to Tonghe County could be dangerous, there was nothing she could do about it. In this world, danger lurked in every endeavor.
But now that her husband had become a Flesh Refining Realm warrior, there shouldn't be too many issues for him while buying food.
"By the way, I have something for you."
"This is a special poison called Three Centipedes and Five Toad Smoke."
"Once released, it can quickly fill an entire room and is colorless and odorless."
"Even if a warrior inhales this poisonous smoke, they will be poisoned and die."
"So if you find yourself in a situation like last time and can't escape, you can use this poison."
"This poison can ensure that all the gangsters are eliminated."
"Of course, before releasing the Three Centipedes and Five Toads Smoke, you must take the antidote first."
"In this way, the smoke won't harm you."
Xiao Fan took out a bottle of antidote and a vial of poisonous smoke from the side.
He carefully explained how to use them.
This was a self-defense technique he entrusted to Mu Qingyao, aiming to protect her to the greatest extent possible.
"Is there really such a thing in the world?"
Mu Qingyao's eyes suddenly lit up, and she seemed increasingly excited.
If she mastered the method of releasing this poison, she wouldn't have to worry about anything when encountering gangsters, and would be fully capable of protecting herself.
After a moment of tenderness, Xiao Fan put on his clothes, took his silver coins, and left the house.
As soon as he stepped outside, he noticed many villagers from Osmanthus Village gathered together, their spirits high, as if something significant had occurred.
"What happened? Why is everyone so excited?"
Xiao Fan stepped forward and asked curiously.
"Xiao Fan, the Dragon King Gang is in big trouble."
"Do you remember Luo Chang, the Dragon King who came to our Osmanthus Village last time?"
"That lecherous scoundrel?"
"It is said that he was killed by the flower picker, Cao Jun, this morning."
Song Fugui said with glee.
As the saying goes, good news doesn't spread, but bad news travels fast.
While news traveled slowly in this era, the misfortune of the Dragon King Gang quickly spread throughout the fishing village.
Many fishermen were eager to see the Dragon King Gang suffer.
"Slaughtered by the flower-picking thief, Cao Jun?"
"How do you know it was a flower picker?"
Hearing this, Xiao Fan raised an eyebrow. Although he was the one who killed Luo Chang, it seemed that someone else had taken the blame for him.
But this was indeed a good thing.
At least it wouldn't implicate him.
"Do you even need to ask? Tonghe County Lieutenant Feng Hao brought a large number of government servants and searched every nook and cranny. The evidence clearly points to the flower picker, Cao Jun."
A villager stated matter-of-factly.
"Yes, Luo Chang's father, Luo Xie, is the elder of the Dragon King Gang. When he heard that the murderer was the flower-picking thief, Cao Jun, his face turned green, and he didn't dare to utter any threats. He could only admit that he was unlucky."
"Haha, Luo Xie can only bully us fishermen. When he faces a real gangster, he's as terrified as a quail. Don't think that guy is anything special."
"You don't know how tragic Luo Chang's death was. He bled to death from seven holes. If Luo Xie had been there, he might have ended up dead too. How could he dare seek revenge? Better to just keep to himself."
"It is said that it was not just Luo Chang who died."
"Even a dozen of Luo Chang's lackeys met the same fate."
"Guo Mazi wanted to gain favor with others, and he was caught up in it as well."
"Good riddance to them—all worthless aids to evil."
"Yes, evil people should be punished by their own kind. We owe a debt of gratitude to Cao Jun, the flower picker."
Many villagers chimed in, all expressing their exhilaration.
Because after Luo Chang's death, Osmanthus Village might have a better future.
Even if the situation didn't improve, they still reveled in witnessing the demise of such wicked individuals.
'Cao Jun, the flower-picking thief? Cao's Poison Classic?'
'Could it be that the old man who died the other day was Cao Jun?'
'Last night, I used Three Centipedes and Five Toad Smoke, which is a unique poison recorded in Cao's Poison Classic.'
'Perhaps that's why the county captain mistakenly thought it was Cao Jun behind this.'
Xiao Fan's eyes flickered with understanding.
He realized he was lucky; it seemed as though everything he did was shielded by fortune.
Even what transpired the night before had someone else to bear the blame.
Thus, it cleared him of all suspicion.
It was likely that neither the Dragon King Gang nor the officials in Tonghe County would ever consider that the murderer was an ordinary villager from Osmanthus Village. It was unimaginable.
After all, who could have foreseen the connection between him and Luo Chang?
He had indeed had a minor altercation with Luo Chang.
However, there were many who had conflicts with Luo Chang among the nearby fishing villages.
He was merely an inconsequential one.
With this in mind, Xiao Fan felt completely at ease, convinced that he was truly safe.
He didn't engage in further conversation with the villagers but found a moment to leave quickly and then hurried towards Tonghe County.
