Carry-On Hero Card Kill

Committing misdeeds, the quickest to come are typically two types: bullying men and overpowering women. As the Second Young Master of Luming Town's Town Chief, these two matters seemed to pose no problem for Zheng Ming.

Having been in this world for more than ten years, Zheng Ming had come to have a rough understanding of it.

While there were many laws in this world, in actuality, they could be summed up in four words: the strong are esteemed.

Take the Da Jin Dynasty where he resided, for instance: the highest status belonged to martial artists. Once a martial artist reached a rank, they could be exempt from paying grain taxes, even most of the constraints on commoners did not apply to ranked martial artists.

The Zheng Family, to which Zheng Ming belonged, was a Ninth Grade Clan within the Great Jin Dynasty, holding all the power over Qingchuan County.

Zheng Ming's father, Zheng Gongxuan, as a Tenth Grade Martial Artist, held a hundred-li plaque and was the Town Chief of Luming Town—one of the thirty-six towns under the jurisdiction of Qingchuan County!

Within these hundred li, life, death, and killing were all within the control of Zheng Gongxuan.

Although Zheng Ming's martial arts skills had yet to reach a rank, having such an emperor-like father meant that as long as he did not bully fellow martial artists, doing things like bullying men and overpowering women in town wasn't difficult at all.

Let's start with bullying men!

Having made up his mind, Zheng Ming returned to Luming Town, and as he looked for targets, countless people greeted him.

"Second Young Master, fresh chicken soup dumplings, would you like a bowl?"

"The fresh fish raised by my family, Second Young Master, take two home and they'll make a fine soup!"

"Second Young Master, these are new Jade Fruits picked from my home, they're very sweet. Second Young Master, take some and try them!"

...

Seeing all the enthusiastic people, Zheng Ming suddenly realized he had managed to build a far too positive reputation from striving for Prestige Points.

Now, looking at all these sincere faces, starting to bully them wasn't easy. But if he didn't bully people, he would not gain Prestige Points, and without Prestige Points, he couldn't activate that horrible deck of Red Cards, let alone acquire the abilities of the characters on them.

Live an ordinary life forever? No way!

Stamping his foot and gritting his teeth, Zheng Ming's gaze fell on a child holding a sugar-coated hawthorn stick—everything must start with children, it seemed his path as a villain would have to begin with snatching a kid's sugar-coated hawthorn stick.

I don't want to be a villain, but I have no choice! If you're not afraid of me, it makes things difficult for this guy!

Justifying himself in his mind, Zheng Ming made his way toward the child who was walking in his direction with a sugar-coated hawthorn stick.

"Brother Zheng Ming, here's a sugar-coated hawthorn stick for you." Before Zheng Ming could make a move, the child had already offered him the stick with a beaming smile.

Stunned by the child's innocent laughter, Zheng Ming paused.

"Second Young Master, some time ago, Little Dong was bitten by a mad dog, but you were the one who stopped that crazy dog, allowing Little Dong to escape disaster. Little Dong has never forgotten that, and said he wanted to give you a skewer of sugar-coated hawthorns to eat!"

The child's mother, a gentle-looking woman in her late twenties, said smilingly.

Standing in the center of Luming Town's streets with that skewer of sugar-coated hawthorns, Zheng Ming felt rather disordered.

This rhythm is totally wrong!

Alas, bullying men seems difficult; I'll just have to overpower a woman—humph, after all, for the sake of Prestige Points, repute be damned!

Stamping his foot forcefully, Zheng Ming began to survey the women in Luming Town. As it was market day, there was no shortage of young maidens and married women coming and going in the town.

Although the pursuit of Prestige Points forced him to stoop so low as to bully and overpower, Zheng Ming still had standards.

But on reflection, the overall level of women in Luming Town wasn't particularly high, not to mention the many mothers and matrons with children.

An hour later, Zheng Ming, gritting his teeth, approached a rather delicate-looking girl in plain clothes. It was his first time attempting such a misdeed, but he had seen plenty of dramas about wicked young masters harassing common girls in his previous life.

"Little sister, life is short, why should you toil away? Better to come back with me to my estate and enjoy good fortune!"

After saying this, Zheng Ming felt it was perfectly consistent with his character. The next scene should be the young girl's fear and anger at the wicked young master, and then, with some excesses on his part, his Prestige Points would soar.

"Really? Does Second Young Master truly like me? Then please have the Town Chief come to my home for a proposal. After that... I'll belong to you, Second Young Master!"

What is this situation?

I came to bully and overpower, so you're supposed to struggle, then I'd forcefully take you, pretending on both sides, bringing you back to the estate and then sending you away after my Prestige Points shot up.

Why aren't you playing by the script?

Zheng Ming was stunned, but the crowd surrounding them became even more lively, with some even telling the girl, "Tsk tsk, to be favored by the Second Young Master of the Zheng Family, your ancestors must be puffing green smoke from their graves."

"Old Li's girl, you better hurry and tell your father the good news that Second Young Master Zheng has set his eyes on you!"

"Why... why didn't Second Young Master Zheng like me instead!"

The blushing face of the young girl and the onlookers who immediately looked ready to help Zheng Ming consummate his marriage left Zheng Ming utterly disorganized.

Now, it seemed that even directly abducting her wouldn't increase his Prestige Points—what should he do?

Rubbing his hands vigorously, Zheng Ming quickly said, "Misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding! I was just too engrossed in the story, so engrossed that I got carried away!"

As he spoke, Zheng Ming bowed to the people around him and quickly ran out. Only the delicate girl stood among the crowd, a face of desolation, her beautiful eyes instantly brimming with tears!

Once again by the riverside, Zheng Ming found himself sinking into unhappiness. The harassment and bullying which he had thought of ended in such a way.

"Clap, clap, clap!"

Feeling stifled in his heart, Zheng Ming, after a few simple stretching movements, began performing the Bear Hug Technique, the family inheritance of the Zheng Family, move by move.

The Bear Hug Technique had a total of sixteen movements, mainly used for strengthening the flesh and skin. Once the Bear Hug Technique was mastered to its peak, a pounce or a hug could wield a strength of a thousand pounds.

Zheng Ming's Bear Hug Technique was very standard, so much so that even the most demanding elders of the Zheng Family could hardly find any flaws in it.

But no matter how standard his movements were, his Bear Hug Technique was still at the first level.

This stage took his brother, Zheng Heng, only one year to complete, and it was said that a genius of the main Zheng clan entered the second level of the Bear Hug Technique in just three months.

The Bear Hug Technique was divided into six levels, and with each increase in level, the strength would double.

The strength produced by the first level of the Bear Hug Technique was a hundred pounds, so Zheng Ming, at the peak of the first level, had a strength of one hundred fifty pounds.

After completing a set of punches without any signs of a breakthrough, Zheng Ming once again focused his Heart God on his own mind.

Staring at the lone Prestige Point in his heart, and looking at that Red Card which seemed like it would never flip over, Zheng Ming made up his mind again.

This time, he had to do something really bad to raise his Prestige Points.

He could not come to this world of the strong, only to lead a life of mediocrity!

Since a robbery had not succeeded, it seemed that only by resorting to his ultimate move—abducting a married woman—oh, a mistake, it should be a woman with a husband.

By doing so, not only would he harass men, but he would also dominate women, and he believed the number of people who feared him in Luming Town would soar.

"I want to become the scourge of the streets!" Muttering this to himself, Zheng Ming marched toward Luming Town. This time, he had to make it happen.

Too ugly, just too ugly! It was really unbearable to look directly...

As if deliberately opposing Zheng Ming, the women holding children, each and every one of them was a sorry sight. Not to mention their arms that could race horses, but Zheng Ming could not bring himself to act when he looked at their waists, which were thicker than if two of him were tied together.

Grandmother, why is being a bully so difficult?

Just as Zheng Ming was feeling disappointed and prepared to blindly grab anyone to settle it, a bright light suddenly illuminated his eyes.

It was a woman in plain blue clothes, exuding a dignified and elegant aura. Yes, dignified and elegant. These two qualities, which should have appeared in different beautiful women, were now present in the same woman.

Moreover, without any conflict, these qualities blended perfectly within her!

This was a woman who looked to be in her twenties but emitted a kind of imposing elegance, an extremely beautiful woman.

In his previous life, Zheng Ming had seen plenty of beautiful women on television, but in his memory, those beauties paled in comparison to this woman; they all became mere passersby.

Usually, faced with such dignified beauty, Zheng Ming would only look with admiration. After all, a woman of this caliber was not someone he could casually provoke. Let alone him, even his father could not afford to provoke her.

However, Zheng Ming, who found it difficult to be a villain today, was really confounded by the aunts in front of him.

Feeling that the woman was exceptionally pleasing to the eye, he strode over and declared, "Beauty, I see loneliness in your life and have decided to rescue you. From today onwards, you will be my wife!"

This statement was boldly assertive and imposing.

But after he finished saying it, Zheng Ming felt a hint of regret, feeling like he might have stirred up trouble he shouldn't have.

This woman was so beautiful and walked alone into Luming Town. It didn't make sense. Besides, his father also warned him that it was best not to provoke a woman who walked alone in the world!

Most importantly, Zheng Ming noticed that the Prestige Points displayed in his mind for this woman were a whole ten thousand!

And it wasn't the usual red ten thousand like his father's or those of other townsfolk, but a yellow ten thousand!

Although he did not know what the yellow ten thousand meant, Zheng Ming knew that, in his quest to harass men and dominate women, he really had lost his sense—and had made a blunder this time.

Just as Zheng Ming was planning to laugh it off silently, call it a misunderstanding, and resolve the matter quietly, the plainly dressed woman showed a hint of coldness in her eyes at first but soon, a smile appeared.

A smile that could charm a nation and affect the hearts of those within a hundred paces, whether they were men or women, who had never seen such an attractive smile before.

"You want me to be your wife?" the woman asked softly, pointing at herself, to Zheng Ming.

Zheng Ming, though of stronger mind than most, still couldn't help but be shaken. Instinctively uttering an "oh," he was about to explain.

And then, he would end today's farce of harassing men and dominating women.

But the woman's next words sent shivers down Zheng Ming's spine.

"Alright, from today onwards, I shall temporarily be your wife!"
