Chapter 387: King Qi? Have you ever dressed as a woman to get close to me?

No wonder my subconscious believes in King Qi!

My body's reaction keeps telling me—can King Qi be trusted?!

King Qi is indeed a decent person.

At least in his eyes, it's still not bad.

But Qin Gu Niang? If she weren't impressive, I wouldn't show up before her!

Don't say it—his consciousness wouldn't believe Qin Gu Niang's words.

Could it be my own illusion?

Lu Yuan stroked his chin.

Although I was thinking inside, my mind kept hearing the shopkeeper's words.

The shopkeeper shook his head helplessly.

"When I came then, I saw you setting up a porridge stall here—that was the first time I saw you."

"Later, I borrowed money from relatives, opened this jewelry shop, and made money."

"I don't need help either, but your appearance is deeply etched in my mind."

What the shopkeeper said is sincere and heartfelt.

Listening, Lu Yuan felt this was true—truly couldn't be more true!

"I never expected... that I and the shopkeeper would have this sort of thing."

Lu Yuan waved his hand, signaling the shopkeeper to come closer.

The shopkeeper came running panting, Lu Yuan raised his right hand and slapped the shopkeeper hard.

The shopkeeper was startled, stopped in his steps, dared not move.

But the slap still landed on his body.

No pain came; instead, a comforting voice came out.

"Hey, from now on, you also need to keep up the effort!"

Lu Yuan said, reaching out with his left hand to grab a certain amount of silver, placing it in the shopkeeper's hand.

"Alright, I'll ask, you answer."

The shopkeeper nodded stiffly.

There was a joy of having survived a calamity.

"Have you heard anything about the teahouse?"

The shopkeeper scratched his head.

"Huh? About the teahouse?"

"Eh, I really don't remember."

The shopkeeper was thinking, struggling to think rapidly in his mind.

Finally... he seemed to have thought of something.

"Speaking of secrets, I don't know if what I heard before coming counts."

"Please speak!"

Lu Yuan reached out, signaling the shopkeeper to continue.

Yes, no matter where the secret is, he also needs to examine it carefully.

Let's see, is it a crucial clue?

Sometimes, the clues here aren't necessarily as solid as those outside.

What the old lady said was quite mysterious; on the contrary, the shopkeeper's following words were actually much more solid.

The shopkeeper told a story, a preliminary story about the teahouse.

The one who established this teahouse was the madam's child.

This child had nothing, his body was very frail.

The madam spent much silver to save him, but in the end she still couldn't save him.

Just as the madam was about to sacrifice the brothel, at the critical moment, a man appeared and saved the child.

However... the man had a request, wanting the madam's son to become his disciple.

The madam disagreed, because the son was safe by her side, even though she was a madam.

But her connections were still good, able to protect the child before her.

But she couldn't act unilaterally.

Thus, the madam sought her son's opinion; the son said he wanted to follow that man.

But the son didn't know, this was the beginning of a nightmare.

The person who saved him has a quirk!

Every time the moon is full, they make the son wish he were dead.

The son naturally looks alluring, extremely similar to the madam's youthful appearance.

The man therefore took a liking to that trait and accepted him as a disciple.

Who would have thought, this is a hell on earth!

The madam learned that her son was being bullied.

Wanting to save her son, she dispatched assassins to go rescue him.

But this man's strength is great; each time he repels them back.

There's completely no way!

Finally, the madam gritted her teeth, used the brothel as collateral, and requested the top three on the assassin list.

Who would have thought, the people on the assassin list were all the man's people; not only did the assassination fail, but they also completely lost the brothel!

Even the brothel madam was tortured to death by the man on the night of the full moon.

Those involved in these matters were also killed one after another.

Here only an empty shell of a building remains!

From then on, the man saw his son's cultivation speed.

From originally beating him, it turned into patient teaching.

He even fantasized that the brothel madam's son would become his right-hand man!

After all, this son is someone he raised himself; there shouldn't be any problems!

But no problem! Or rather, a problem occurred!

As the son gradually appeared before everyone, his cultivation was already not bad, and even every move showed signs of forming a magic array.

Everyone began to treat him with utmost respect.

After that came the grand competition, where he shone brightly in this world!

During the process, the son continuously rescued others, especially unfortunate girls like the brothel madam.

The son continuously took the money he won, or money earned by helping people, most of which went to rescue those unfortunate girls.

And what drove the man's death and the son's turning bad was another reason.

It is said that the son brought back a little girl from outside.

The little girl was graceful and beautiful, and grew even more beautiful.

Her dimples when she smiled were very cute.

This person had no talent for cultivation, could only follow Lu Yuan, doing maid work.

Of course, the son certainly didn't want the little girl to be overworked.

These were just chores like helping wash clothes.

Simply put.

As for cooking, the son said: the little girl is too small, not even as tall as the stove.

Even if the maid's washed clothes aren't very good!

But still let the maid continue washing.

After all, he brought her back himself.

Of course, he must continue to pamper her!

The maid also did not disappoint the son's hopes; at age ten, still a child, she had already done many things.

At this time, the brothel madam's son was already a 22-year-old genius cultivator.

Many people wanted to form marriage alliances, but were all refused by the brothel madam's son.

He thought, they could wait a bit longer.

After waiting, the maid had already reached the age of fifteen (coming of age), and had grown a lot.

Her appearance was so beautiful it could topple nations and cities.

The brothel madam's son was very delighted, feeling he had raised a child.

This year, the brothel madam's son is twelve years old.

Another three years, the son is already over thirty, while the girl keeps getting more beautiful, with many people coming to propose marriage.

But he turned them all down.

Even the maid herself cultivates this appearance, indicating she will not marry!

Many people hearing this sighed.

If only she could marry!

But when the maid turned eighteen, she revealed herself for the person she loved.

Yes, the person she loves is the brothel madam's son.

The son caressed his beloved; they had long been mutually in love, just never spoken it.

Such feelings, even here, still move people deeply.

The maid gradually became a lady.

Even held a grand banquet.

At this time, the son no longer lived with the man, but lived alone with the lady.

Also counts as a wealthy family!

In the year of marriage, the lady became pregnant.

The little life in her belly seemed to like them.

This little life is a girl, who takes after both of them!

Toppling nations and cities! (End of chapter)
