The county housed roughly hundreds of thousands of people, both mortals and cultivators living together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to intelligence, a week ago, the Blood-handed Butcher Pang Xiong had appeared outside Shuanghe County.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking for a moment, Lu Ye chose not to wear black clothes, instead using a disguised appearance to enter Shuanghe County.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It took him nearly half an hour and some silver, but in the county, Lu Ye finally obtained more useful information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Blood-handed Butcher Pang Xiong had indeed appeared in Shuanghe County, but he never stayed long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About twenty miles from Shuanghe County, there was another place called Peach Blossom Forest...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pang Xiong appeared there more frequently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Peach Blossom Forest?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this information from the skinny informant in front of him, Lu Ye felt a bit puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe, friend, the Peach Blossom Forest is a great place!\" Speaking of it, the skinny man almost had a gleam in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s said to be the largest Joyful Valley within a thousand miles!\" The skinny man gave a knowing look and said, \"As long as you have enough silver, in Peach Blossom Forest, there’s nothing you dare not imagine, and nothing they dare not do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Blood-handed Butcher Pang Xiong is a frequent visitor there. Although he looks a bit intimidating, he’s generous with his money, and many girls like him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Lu Ye understood that Peach Blossom Forest, with such an artistic name, was something other than a place for flower viewing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It turned out to be a gold-squandering den.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Lu Ye nodded and said, \"Alright, thank you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need to thank me. Since you gave me a couple of silver, I have to tell you everything I know.\" The skinny man looked Lu Ye up and down and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You wouldn’t be looking to cause trouble for Pang Xiong, would you? For the sake of the silver, I advise you not to offend him; there is someone backing Pang Xiong!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ye raised an eyebrow and said, \"Explain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing this, the skinny man gave a shy smile and rubbed his hands together: \"Sir... this will cost an extra half silver.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ye smiled faintly. He had millions of silver in his hands, although not enough for the ten-billion-point designated draw, so he could only open the Myriad Dao Pavilion random draw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But buying a few pieces of intelligence... he could spend it for a hundred years without running out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After giving him half a silver, the skinny man continued, \"I accidentally learned about this news. I heard Pang Xiong... has recently gotten involved with the Three Yin Sect!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You should know about the Three Yin Sect, right?\" the skinny man asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ye nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stuffing the half silver into his sleeve, the skinny man swallowed: \"I heard Pang Xiong has hooked up with a big shot in the Three Yin Sect! The Three Yin Saint Son!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He’s one of the top figures among the younger generation in the Northern Territory! Sir, is this information powerful enough? I didn’t earn this half silver in vain, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ye: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three Yin Sect... Saint Son?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This name, he hadn’t heard it in a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a hint of a playful smile on his lips, Lu Ye said, \"Worth the cost. I have matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave. I’ll find you if I need anything next time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peach Blossom Forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This stretch of forest spanning several dozen miles was, as its name implied, filled with peach trees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the season when peach blossoms were in full bloom, and the forest was a sea of pink, with the fragrance of flowers wafting everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coupled with the pink lanterns hanging around and the faint scent of rouge that wafted out intermittently... it almost made one stand up with respect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Lu Ye arrived, it was already nearing evening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the dim sky, the Peach Blossom Forest was bustling with activity, full of people coming and going.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Such a clever trick...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing in front of the Peach Blossom Forest, smelling the faint fragrance from the forest, Lu Ye raised his eyebrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fragrance contained a very subtle hint of aphrodisiac.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This small amount wasn’t enough to set someone ablaze with desire, but it effectively stirred deep-seated desires unknowingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And once emotions surged... naturally, one would do what they should.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ye’s heart tightened, unsure of who was behind this Peach Blossom Forest. These subtle tricks were hidden but effective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he walked into the forest, an old madam came up to him with a smiling face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, guest, you’ve arrived. Come, come, come, are you here to drink, listen to some tunes and chat, or... do business?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coming to the Peach Blossom Forest was mostly for these two reasons: some wanted to savor foreplay and move to the next step with the right atmosphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others... didn’t want to waste any time, although the atmosphere might not be as comfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ye changed his tone slightly and said in a deep voice, \"Bring a pot of wine, let’s chat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alrighty, please this way, dear guest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clearing in the forest was dotted with stone tables and benches of all sizes, which looked quite charming against the backdrop of peach blossoms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike ordinary pleasure houses, it was indeed a unique place, no wonder it was well-known far and wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a casual toss of a few bits of silver, Lu Ye tipped the madam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, a woman in a flowered dress came up to Lu Ye, smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This girl is Yue’Er, greetings to the gentleman; may I know what I should call you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Lu Ye was about to speak, he noticed several figures entering the Peach Blossom Forest from outside as the night fully fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, one had a rugged look, carrying a hint of bloodlust, clearly not someone easy to deal with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ye’s eyes lit up, not expecting to encounter the main target so soon after sitting down, worth 150,000 points!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man was none other than Pang Xiong, the Red Cloud Sect’s target for the Ten-Star Mission!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of Pang Xiong was another figure—the Three Yin Sect Saint Son, whom he had seen twice before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Pang Xiong, following behind the Three Yin Sect Saint Son, showed a flattering smile on his beefy face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After years of going at it alone, Pang Xiong deeply understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having someone backing you was extremely important.\u003C\u002Fp>",1308,"2026-06-03T03:06:22.265Z","2026-06-03T03:06:27.447Z",1,"novelbin.me","95a546851e8636cd70aeba73824450d2a17d6cab55dd6f990dcfebe8d0c945b6","cultivation-the-rise-of-a-live-in-son-in-law-chapter-257","cultivation-the-rise-of-a-live-in-son-in-law-chapter-255",512,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcultivation-the-rise-of-a-live-in-son-in-law-cover.jpg"]
