Chapter 105

In Yunhai Pavilion, the maid Miss Xiao Qin entered Jiuniang's boudoir and placed the pouch on the table: "Young Luo Luo Niangzi, the monthly allowance for this month is five spirit stones. It's one less than last year."

Jiuniang nodded, glanced at it, and said nothing. She knew very well why the spirit stones in the monthly allowance had decreased in the past two years. First, the Su family hadn't had a high-level expert sitting in the manor for thirty years and was increasingly looked down upon by various families in the Danxia Sect, so the various resources they fought for were decreasing day by day. Second, in the past two years, the Yin family had significantly reduced the supply of spirit incense to Mount Shenwu, and the various spirit beasts they raised had also had problems, which naturally affected their income.

I don't know if this trip to Xikou was useful at all, whether that damn Yin Wugong could retreat in the face of difficulties, stop pestering, and then restore the supply of spirit incense?

Yin Wugong shouldn't be stupid enough to go to Jing Zhao to verify this, right?

Whether it succeeds or not depends on this month.

Only then did Miss Xiao Qin say: "Young Luo Luo Niangzi, the Fifth Young Master sent an invitation, saying that he is holding a birthday banquet at Yiling Hall tonight and invites you to attend."

"Oh? Is it his birthday today?"

"Susu said it was yesterday's birthday, and they originally wanted to hold the banquet last night..."

"Is this blaming me?"

"That's not what she meant, it's just that Susu said it's the Fifth Young Master's twentieth birthday, so she strongly invited you to go."

Su Jiuniang thought for a while and said: "You know I don't have the patience for these trivial matters... forget it, let's go once. I delayed his birthday banquet, so I'll go to compensate him. Go and get... is there any birthday gift to send?"

Miss Xiao Qin smiled: "I asked Susu, that Young Master of theirs is always talking about spirit stones. If you send one, I guarantee he'll be so happy he won't be able to close his mouth."

Su Jiuniang rolled her eyes: "Already prepared? I think you're the one who wants to go, right?"

Miss Xiao Qin stuck out her tongue: "It's been a long time since I ate wine with Sister Susu, it's quite good to get together for a while."

The banquet that night was very lively, but it was quiet for a while after the Tiger-Headed Dragon appeared. Liu Xiaolou kept smoothing things over and apologizing to Su Jiuniang, saying that he and the Tiger-Headed Dragon were once good friends and had a life-and-death friendship.

The Tiger-Headed Dragon also nodded desperately, saying that he came specifically to celebrate the birthday of his good brother Liu Xiaolou and didn't expect to meet Jiuniang, it was really blah blah blah...

Jiuniang didn't turn hostile on the spot, but her face was a bit bad. It was only because she had been familiar with the Tiger-Headed Dragon since childhood that she didn't flare up. She didn't stay long, only endured for another quarter of an hour, dealt with a few words from the Tiger-Headed Dragon, drank a few cups shallowly, and then said goodbye.

When she left, Liu Xiaolou was glared at fiercely by Miss Xiao Qin, which made him feel very guilty. Fortunately, the worst situation didn't happen. Jiuniang might be unhappy in her heart, but so what? Not only did he get two spirit stones from the Tiger-Headed Dragon, but Jiuniang also gave him one, which was truly an unexpected joy.

The Tiger-Headed Dragon was also very happy. Although Jiuniang didn't give him a good face, it wasn't bad, and they even spoke. This was the first time in nearly three years that he had spoken to Jiuniang, how could he not be drunk?

The satisfied Tiger-Headed Dragon got very drunk that night and stayed at Yiling Hall. Anyway, the Luo Luo Niangzi hadn't returned from the back mountain, so staying as a guest for one night shouldn't be a problem, not to mention that he was an old friend of the Su family.

Waking up the next day, the Tiger-Headed Dragon was full of energy and said goodbye to Liu Xiaolou: "Virtuous brother, your foolish brother is preparing to go home. If you have time in the future, please come to Lion Ridge for a visit. I will definitely sweep the bed and wait, and sleep with you!"

Liu Xiaolou asked with a smile: "Are you satisfied after seeing her once? Brother Hutou is truly a hero, this is what is called being able to pick it up and put it down."

The Tiger-Headed Dragon shook his head and said: "I can't put it down, how could I put it down? It's just that your foolish brother knows that Jiuniang's heart is not with me, so I dare not force it. As long as she lives happily and comfortably, your foolish brother is satisfied."

Liu Xiaolou said: "This can also be considered putting it down. What will Brother Hutou do next? Why not choose a beautiful wife and live peacefully and happily?"

The Tiger-Headed Dragon said firmly: "Your foolish brother doesn't plan to marry in this life, I only wish to protect Jiuniang. Whoever makes her unhappy and makes her heart unhappy, your foolish brother will make them unhappy and unhappy!"

He also exhorted Liu Xiaolou: "Since you are a good son-in-law of the Su family and a close relative of Jiuniang, if you know that there are such petty people, you must tell me immediately, and I will definitely not let them off!"

Liu Xiaolou sent the Tiger-Headed Dragon out of the mountain, and the two parted reluctantly. Returning to Yiling Hall, he happily took out the spirit stones on his body and counted them, totaling four.

These were four spirit stones earned by lying down, they couldn't have come any easier. For a moment, he felt happy and joyful, but also full of melancholy, which could not be expressed in words.

Susu cleaned up the room, changed the bedding, and washed the floor with clean water before breathing a sigh of relief: "This Young Master Jiao, what did he turn the room into after getting drunk? Young Master, don't keep drunk guests overnight in the future. If there are drunk guests again, send them directly back to the guest courtyard. This smell..."

In order to sweep the room, she changed into tight short clothes, showing off her figure with a protruding front and back. Her arms and ankles were exposed, and her skin was delicate and lustrous. This was the true spirit manifestation after a woman reached a certain level of cultivation.

Liu Xiaolou again had the idea of studying cultivation methods with her and called out: "Come, come, Susu, we were inexplicably interrupted by an uninvited guest yesterday, wasting a day of time, let's continue now."

Susu pinched her nose and said: "I just finished cleaning, I'm all dirty, that won't do."

Liu Xiaolou didn't care: "Where is it dirty? This is just right..." As he said this, he went over to hold Susu's hand.

Susu pouted and said: "Is Young Master still not reconciled?"

Liu Xiaolou pulled her over: "What reconciled or not... my late teacher said that we cultivators should take diligent cultivation as our primary duty..."

"Young Master! Young Master!" Xiao Huan's voice sounded outside the door, followed by footsteps. Because the door wasn't closed, she broke in directly.

Liu Xiaolou was speechless: "Xiao Huan, did you and Susu make an appointment?"

Susu covered her mouth and laughed, while Xiao Huan looked puzzled: "Make an appointment for what? Young Master, the Luo Luo Niangzi is back, she asks you to meet her at the front building."

Liu Xiaolou was very surprised: "Ask me to meet her? What happened?"

Xiao Huan said: "The Master sent a message saying that there are important guests visiting, and asks the Luo Luo Niangzi and Young Master to accompany them."

This was the main purpose of Liu Xiaolou's living with his wife's family—to announce to the outside world that Su Wuniang was already a married woman, so that various families wouldn't have any ulterior motives. Therefore, accompanying guests should be considered Liu Xiaolou's main duty and his greatest responsibility.

After a flurry of activity by the two maids, Liu Xiaolou was dressed up and sent to the front building, where Su Wuniang had been waiting for a long time.

This was the second time Liu Xiaolou had met his own wife since they got married. He knew his place and didn't dare to call her "Luo Luo Niangzi" or "Luo Niangzi" in private, so he still bowed respectfully as if they were guests: "Wuniang is back? How was this cultivation? You must have made great progress, right?"

Su Wuniang nodded: "Let's go."

The two left the Qingyu Furong Garden and headed toward the Gualu Hall. Upon arriving at the hall, Su Wuniang exhorted: "Don't talk nonsense when you see the guests."

Liu Xiaolou nodded in agreement: "I know."

Entering the Gualu Hall, he saw his cheap father-in-law Su Zhi, his second uncle Su Xun, and the Su family's eldest son Su Long all accompanying in the hall. There were three tables for guests, and the guests were not very old, with the leader being less than forty.

Looking at the person at the last seat, Liu Xiaolou suddenly felt a jolt and immediately had the urge to turn around and run away. This person was extremely young, with a red silk ribbon tied on his forehead, a face like a peach blossom, and eyes like bright stars. What a handsome young hero.

It was exactly the Dongyang Sect disciple who had chased and killed him all the way after breaking through Jinping Villa—Han Wuwang!
