Chapter 104

"Is anyone home?"

A loud shout rang out, startling Liu Dongzhu, who had been asleep in the hall on a recliner at some unknown time; she opened her sleepy eyes, cradled Wang Ping'an from the cradle, and strode out.

Outside, there was a group of burly men, each armed with weapons.

At a glance, it was clear they were no ordinary lot!

Liu Dongzhu jumped in fright and nervously asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"Madam Wang, it's me!"

A weak, bitter laugh sounded, and the crowd blocking the front parted, revealing Dai Zhishang being carried on a simple stretcher by two men.

I saw his face deathly pale, devoid of any color, as if he were gravely ill.

Liu Dongzhu exclaimed in astonishment, "Young Master Dai, what happened to you?"

Dai Zhishang's face showed only embarrassment; he naturally couldn't conveniently admit his humiliating mishap in full, for though being laughed at would be trivial, he feared that if it spread it would damage the Dai family's reputation.

His reputation wasn't great to begin with, so he didn't really fear the impact.

If it affected the Dai family's reputation, his father would never easily forgive him, and even his mother couldn't persuade him otherwise.

Dai Zhishang said embarrassedly, "Madam Wang, I have a small problem with my body; I don't know where that old Daoist I saw a few days ago is—I want to see him, ask him to come out, and see if he can cure my illness!"

As he spoke, Dai Zhishang glared resentfully at Zhou Quan and the other warriors; if it weren't for this bunch of bastards refusing to help, he wouldn't have been defiled by the female demon.

He had completely forgotten that, faced with the female demon's seduction, he had been the initiator.

Just thinking back to when he woke up, seeing the female demon's corpse lying on him and recalling what he had done, his heart was as dead as ashes, and he even felt like hanging himself.

He hated himself for loving training so much—was it just to enjoy more carnal pleasures?

If he had never trained, the female demon's corpse that had lain on his body back then, even if it hadn't crushed him to death, would at least have knocked him unconscious.

It wouldn't have let him witness a scene he would regret for a lifetime!

He thought, he would have nightmares not just tonight but for at least ten days to half a month, unable to sleep well.

"A small problem, old Daoist?"

Liu Dongzhu stared blankly, then a flash of insight crossed her mind and she blurted, "Young Master Dai, you couldn't have encountered another female demon, could you?"

"I haven't!"

Dai Zhishang let out an angry roar, suddenly feeling the hairs on his back stand on end, as if being stared at by some flood of ferocious beast; he hastily glanced around, seeing nothing unusual.

He naturally didn't know, nor would he think, that the danger came from Wang Ping'an in Liu Dongzhu's arms.

Wang Ping'an silently snorted, "You wretched thing, why are you yelling so loudly? Look how you've scared my mother; next time you meet a female demon, I'll wait until you're utterly exhausted before I strike!"

Although Dai Zhishang hadn't noticed anything that could make him sense danger, he suspected he might not yet have emerged from the female demon's shadow, but in his peripheral vision he saw Liu Dongzhu clearly frightened.

"Madam Wang, sorry, I frightened you!"

Dai Zhishang was full of apology, fearing Liu Dongzhu would continue to dwell on the female demon topic, so he changed his words:

"However, my condition isn't related to the female demon; it's something else—though a small problem, it's quite serious. Please, Madam Wang, quickly tell me where the old Daoist is, for if delayed it could easily become a serious illness!"

There's a saying: "What is constantly on the mind will surely have a response!"

Although.

A few days ago, after being threatened by Daoist Xuanqing, he had been frightened by the female demon and sworn never to seek her again.

But during this time, staying at home for so long, he occasionally recalls that endlessly memorable taste.

Even knowing the other is a demon, even knowing her true form is hideous, what appears before his eyes and in his mind is

but rather her flawless form, which in every way matches his tastes.

He wants to forget but can't, and it's almost merging into his marrow.

Daoist Xuanqing's warnings and threats have gradually been cast aside by him.

He very much wants to leave the city to experience again his tryst with the female demon; even if his kidneys are ruined, he wouldn't hesitate.

At that time, he had long been controlled by desire, hardly any rationality left, yet he knew that during this period his parents forbade him from leaving Qingyang County.

For fear he would repeat his mistake!

A few days ago, had it not been for the principle of repaying a drop of kindness with a spring convincing his father, he would have had no way to come to the Wang family to repay his gratitude; but even if he had come to the Wang family, he would still have been accompanied by a retinue of Dai family warriors.

With those warriors present, even if he could leave the city, hoping for another tryst would be nearly impossible.

So.

that's why he devised a plan to sneak out of Qingyang County Seat secretly!

He never imagined...

All this was actually in Zhou Quan's—no, his father's—calculations.

"'Father, father, you've really ruined me—aren't you afraid I'll lose all interest in women from now on?'"

9 plus book, right?

Dai Zhishang couldn't help but silently resent.

Since the true form of the female demon appeared before his eyes, he fears that from now on, no matter what beauty he encounters, he will always suspect she hides a hideous appearance.

Whether he can get hard in the future has become a problem!

Liu Dongzhu stared oddly at Dai Zhishang; this Young Master Dai's acting is too exaggerated—no matter how many lies he tells, it's still easy to see through, yet she doesn't expose him, saying:

"Young Master Dai, even if I told you where Daoist Xuanqing is, it would be useless—he's not at home; he's gone to the Prefecture Capital!"

"No way?"

Dai Zhishang's face instantly turned ashen, and he protested unwillingly, "Madam Wang, old Daoist—no, Daoist Xuanqing—how could he have gone to the Prefecture Capital?"

Not long ago.

He had barely managed to wake from his soul‑less state, and then recalled Daoist Xuanqing's warning: if he hadn't finished the Re‑Yang Pill and then engaged in that act with the female demon again, he would very likely be unable to get hard.

He immediately noticed his groin was limp and powerless!

Like a sleeping little earthworm, no matter what he does, it just won't wake up.

In a moment, Dai Zhishang was frightened half to death, so he did not return to the Dai residence, but instead had the warriors hastily make a crude stretcher and carry him running to the Wang family.

If it weren't for not knowing Xuanqing Daozhang's whereabouts, he would have rushed to the Xuanqing Temple at the first opportunity.

Liu Dongzhu explained: "Young Master Dai, Xuanqing Daozhang went to the Prefecture Capital to arrange for his two disciples to pursue advanced studies at Ziyang Palace!"

Advanced studies at Ziyang Palace?

Dai Zhishang let out a startled cry.

Ziyang Palace is the largest and best in the entire Qingpu Prefecture, reputed to be the number one Daoist cultivation sect; who knows how many cultivators wish to enter but lack the qualifications, yet unexpectedly Xuanqing Daozhang actually has the ability to send his disciples there for advanced studies.

What's more, he sent both of his disciples at once!

Even the Immortal Official of Qingyang County only has one quota every ten years, and that's only because he is an Immortal Official and moreover a disciple of Ziyang Palace.

It's clear that this Xuanqing Daozhang truly possesses real ability!

Dai Zhishang secretly felt relieved, thinking perhaps this Xuanqing Daozhang really had a way to solve his problem, but he was still worried that if delayed, something might go wrong, and he spoke anxiously:

"Madam Wang, do you know when Xuanqing Daozhang will return?"

"I don't know that!"

Liu Dongzhu shook her head.
