Marrying a White Snake Wife is Super Cool-Chapter 100 - 82: People Would Think You’ve Remarried

Chapter 100: Chapter 82: People Would Think You’ve Remarried

"At the time, those guys from Little East Asia refused to believe it."

"They went on and on about how powerful the Eight-Headed Serpent was, and how many people it had killed in their country."

"And how so many of their Celestial Masters had died trying to kill it, but could only manage to seal it away."

"But when we threw half its tail down in front of them, they all shut right up."

Speaking of which, Song Meiqin chimed in with a proud, coquettish voice:

"Of course~"

"What mountain is this?"

"This is Taixing Mountain! How many Emperors have come here to perform sacrifices? The mountain god here is incredibly powerful."

"How could some backwater mountain from their country even compare?"

The group chatted casually, but Lu Yuan didn’t join the conversation.

He just turned, opened the carriage window, and lifted the curtain to look outside.

In the distance was the massive factory.

The exterior was now completely finished.

They were still finishing up the interior. By the time the new year rolled around, the factory would be fully complete.

Looking at it from the outside now, it was really quite impressive.

It was like a small city.

Come to think of it, Lu Yuan hadn’t been over to check on it in more than a month.

The cold weather had made him lazy, and he’d been staying home the whole time.

Seeing it so suddenly now was actually a bit of a shock.

After all, the style of these buildings was a bit out of place in this world.

Sheet metal and tiles, it had a bit of an industrial look.

Of course, it was, in fact, industrial.

"What are you looking at?"

"Auntie wants to see too~"

As Lu Yuan stared blankly into the distance, Zhao Qiao’Er sidled up to him.

She reached out and lifted the curtain, and upon seeing the factory in the distance, Zhao Qiao’Er couldn’t help but freeze.

After all, even Lu Yuan, who was mentally prepared and had seen such things countless times on Earth, had been taken aback by the sudden sight.

So it was no surprise for someone like Zhao Qiao’Er, who had never seen anything like it before.

Especially since, during this time, Zhao Qiao’Er only knew that her sweetheart was using the money to build something outside the city.

But she had never gone to see it.

Seeing this factory that looked like a small city suddenly appear before her, she was naturally stunned.

The commotion they made naturally drew the attention of everyone else in the carriage.

When the others fully opened the curtains and saw the scene outside, their reactions were all more or less the same.

"What is this??"

"What’s it for?"

Song Chi stared at the scene outside the window, his face a mask of astonishment.

He, Song Chi, had been to many places, but he had truly never seen buildings in this style.

Before Lu Yuan could speak, Song Meiqin, who was holding his arm, immediately chirped in a sweet voice:

"It’s a place for manufacturing things."

"You don’t know yet, do you? Yuan’Er is so clever. He’s made a lot of amazing things."

"That incident at Xilingzi was resolved thanks to the cannons and guns Yuan’Er made!"

’Making cannons, making guns?!’

Song Chi’s eyebrow twitched in sudden alarm.

Guns, whatever. That didn’t matter much.

He probably meant spears. Every household in the village had those.

When it was time to irrigate the fields, they’d basically bring them out to fight for water.

But cannons...

What?

’How did he end up making cannons??’

After a few seconds of stunned silence, Song Chi frowned slightly and looked at Lu Yuan.

"Mr. Lu, this business of yours is a bit dangerous."

Lu Yuan was taken aback and quickly said:

"No, no, it’s not the kind of Red Coat Cannons the military uses. They’re just small, crude cannons."

But Song Chi tilted his head, his brow furrowed.

"Even crude cannons are not allowed!"

In an instant, Song Chi, who had been a bit oafish in front of Song Meiqin just moments ago, suddenly adopted a sharp and imposing aura.

The kind of authoritative presence unique to a high-ranking official appeared on his face.

Lu Yuan was about to lie, to say that he had melted the crude cannons down after use and would never make them again.

But before he could speak, he felt a lightness beside him, and the hand holding his arm was gone.

Song Meiqin had shot to her feet.

She reached out and landed two heavy slaps on a part of Song Chi’s body not covered by armor, snapping furiously:

"Who do you think you’re scaring?!"

"Who are you trying to scare in here?!"

"What do you mean by that?!"

Those two slaps completely knocked the official air out of him.

He had been sitting up straight and proper, but the slaps knocked him askew.

Song Chi slumped against the corner of the carriage, clutching his arm with a pathetic look on his face.

"Sis!!"

"What was that for! You just started hitting me! That hurts!"

All of Song Chi’s earlier imposing aura had vanished.

A moment ago, he had been just like a tiger, staring as if it were about to devour you.

But after Song Meiqin’s two slaps, Song Chi had suddenly turned into a housecat.

Lu Yuan sat watching the scene before him, blinking.

’Heh.’

’You know...’

’The way Song Chi’s acting right now, he’s not much different from Su Changliang in front of his sister.’

"What was *I* for?"

"What were *you* for!"

"What was with that expression, that tone of voice!"

"So what if Yuan’Er made a few crude cannons!"

"Are you planning to arrest him and have him beheaded, or flogged with a military rod?"

Song Meiqin glared at Song Chi, fuming.

Song Chi, however, looked aggrieved and said:

"I... I was just saying it casually, just a reminder. I wasn’t going to do anything." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Lu Yuan, snapping out of it, quickly stepped in to smooth things over, first taking Song Meiqin’s hand to pull her back.

Then he quickly turned to Song Chi and said:

"It was truly a last resort before. That mine at Xilingzi is my aunt’s biggest Spirit Stone Mine, and a Da Xingzi was occupying it."

"The Celestial Masters from Dou Shi Temple and the Provincial City had all gone to Taixing Mountain, so there was no one to handle it."

"We really had no other choice, so we made a few crude cannons."

"We put them away immediately after using them, and I’ll have them melted down when we get back this time."

How could Song Chi dare to say anything now?

His own sister was still glaring at him.

Snapping back to his senses, Song Chi quickly said:
