Immortal after a Hundred Reincarnations

Xu Lei continued to relentlessly hurl Explosive Packages from behind.

He had thought Hui Kun would be able to flee a good distance, forcing him to use a Speed Magical Artifact to give chase.

But Xu Lei discovered that Hui Kun was already done for.

His reaction had been slow; he only tried to flee after being blasted for a long time.

By then, it was already too late.

As a result, he didn’t get far this time.

Another BOOMING explosion rang out.

Another one of Xu Lei’s Explosive Package attacks blew Hui Kun’s body to pieces.

Zhao Xin, meanwhile, had not made a move from beginning to end. She simply watched.

This was because Xu Lei had not shared the secret of Gunpowder with her.

He had only told her it was a unique Secret Technique he had obtained from a certain place.

This was because Xu Lei didn’t want to be blown up by someone else’s Explosive Packages in his next life.

So, for the time being, he had decided not to tell a single soul!

’That old bastard is finally dead.’

At that moment, Zhao Xin spoke. "Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Hui Chi.

If Master knew of this, he would surely be gratified."

Xu Lei smiled and began to loot the spoils.

Indeed. That old coot Hui Kun had tried to sabotage Jingchun’s Crossing the Tribulation, sneering and mocking all the while.

Killing him now finally served as a form of justice for Jingchun.

"Unfortunately, this old coot doesn’t have anything good on him that we can use."

But then, Xu Lei added in disappointment, "There’s just one Qiankun Cloth Bag that’s of any use.

The space inside isn’t very big, though."

Not every Cultivator had a Qiankun Cloth Bag.

In fact, many didn’t.

The young man he had killed last time, for instance, didn’t have one.

But Hui Kun did.

Of course, it only had about one cubic meter of space.

It couldn’t hold many explosives, but it was better than nothing.

「Half a month later.」

Jin Xuan was still hiding in the Daoist Temple, not daring to descend the mountain.

Zhao Xin, for her part, had entered closed-door cultivation.

Xu Lei returned to Zhou Ya’s side.

Over the past seven years, Xu Lei had spent most of his time with Zhao Xin.

However, Zhao Xin periodically entered seclusion, and whenever she did, she would cultivate for ten days to half a month at a time.

Because of this, Xu Lei would find time to go back and see Zhou Ya now and then.

Besides replenishing his Gunpowder Packages, he naturally didn’t neglect performing Charitable Giving for Zhou Ya.

Sometimes, Xu Lei would also accompany Zhou Ya out for shopping or travel.

Since Xu Lei had married Zhou Ya in the mortal world as a live-in son-in-law, he always wore a Human Skin Mask.

This way, he wasn’t afraid of being recognized.

Even if Zhao Xin were to walk right past him, she wouldn’t necessarily recognize him.

In the mortal world, wealthy Landlords and masters from Official Families all had three wives and four concubines.

Because of this, Zhou Ya had even suggested that Xu Lei perform Charitable Giving for a few more women in order to have more children.

There were some young women who had just come of age among her tenant farmers’ families.

But Xu Lei refused.

He would only perform Charitable Giving for Zhou Ya.

If Zhou Ya hadn’t already been pregnant with his child before, Xu Lei wouldn’t even have come here at all.

After all, he had already had enough children in this lifetime.

If he and Zhao Xin hadn’t been separated those few years ago, Xu Lei would almost certainly not have the relationship he now had with Zhou Ya.

But things were as they were, so Xu Lei naturally had to see his responsibilities through to the end.

And over these seven years, Zhou Ya had given birth to two more daughters and a son for Xu Lei.

She said she wanted to greatly expand their bloodline.

Everyone in her Zhou Family was dead.

She was the only one left.

That was why she wanted to produce more heirs.

It would be her contribution to continuing the family line.

Furthermore, their fiefdom was being managed quite well.

The crops in the fields yielded a bountiful harvest year after year.

An estate like this certainly needed a son to inherit it.

The goodwill Zhou Ya had previously built up with the Royal Family was actually enough for a member of the Zhou Family to enter civil service again.

However, as a woman, Zhou Ya could not embark on an official career.

Xu Lei had no desire to become an official either.

They could only pin their hopes on the next generation.

So, in addition to needing a son to inherit the family estate, Zhou Ya also wanted a son who could take advantage of this fortunate opportunity to enter the civil service.

Xu Lei naturally supported Zhou Ya’s ambitions.

In truth, Zhou Ya wanted to have even more children, since they only had two sons at the moment.

One to inherit the estate and one to enter the civil service was just barely enough.

Inheriting the family estate didn’t require exceptional talent.

But to become an official, a son needed to have a talent for scholarship.

Whether their current two sons were capable of that remained to be seen.

What’s more, they could encounter natural disasters or man-made calamities while growing up.

A child could die young as a result.

So, Zhou Ya felt that having only two sons was not a safe bet.

She believed they needed at least two more to be secure.

Xu Lei naturally supported her in this.

However, she only had one body, and she couldn’t disregard her health for the sake of bearing children.

That’s why, over the past seven years, Xu Lei had only let her give birth to three.

He didn’t let her give birth too frequently, and in the process, he even used a Spirit Gathering Array to gather Spiritual Qi to cleanse her body.

This prevented her body from becoming too depleted from childbirth.

As a result, Zhou Ya’s body was still in good condition.

Of course, the nourishing effect on a mortal wasn’t actually that significant.

All in all, life on Zhou Ya’s side was relatively peaceful and pleasant.

No one foolish enough to be blind to their station came looking for trouble.

Zhou Ya also handled all other household affairs very well.

The children were all very healthy.

But one day, Xu Lei and Zhou Ya were not at their residence.

Instead, they had gone out traveling the world together.

To see the sights and relax.

As for the children, they were all left in the care of the household servants.

Along the way, Xu Lei and Zhou Ya even revisited an old haunt.

They returned to the very spot where they first met.

The only difference was that now, several years later, Zhou Ya was a young married woman in her twenties.
