Chapter 198: The Favor of Saving His Brother

Liu Dongzhu asked, "Young Master Dai, I don't know what urgent matter you have in seeking Daoist Xuanqing?"

Liu Dongzhu asked.

If only Dai Zhishang were present, Shu Mu would have even less desire to seek revenge on Daoist Xuanqing.

She didn't know, but in the blink of an eye Shu Mu had turned into a pig's head; however, judging from Shu Mu's demeanor.

Most likely he was beaten up by Daoist Xuanqing; otherwise he wouldn't think of taking revenge on Daoist Xuanqing.

Presumably.

Daoist Xuanqing was very angry; because of Shu Mu's attitude toward him just now in the hall, he took the opportunity while Shu Mu was away to give him a severe beating.

No wonder Shu Mu had just left not long ago, and Daoist Xuanqing already found an opportunity to leave.

If only Dai Zhishang were asking her for Daoist Xuanqing's whereabouts, she would have no problem telling him directly.

However.

Moreover, Shu Mu was still around; although his conflict with Daoist Xuanqing had ended in his defeat—turning him into a pig's head—no one knows if something unexpected might happen.

She was preparing to make an excuse and refuse to tell Dai Zhishang Daoist Xuanqing's location.

Dai Zhishang laughed embarrassedly and said, "Madam Wang, it's a matter concerning men!"

He originally left the city not only to frolic wantonly with Hu Meiniang, but also to pay a visit to the Wang family members to thank them for saving his life.

Seeing their current situation, he wondered if they had any need for him.

However.

From learning what happened from Shu Mu, he was doing alright, but Hu Meiniang's curiosity about Daoist Xuanqing had reached its peak.

He could only find a casual excuse to brush off Liu Dongzhu.

Hu Meiniang was someone he met when he went to the prefectural city seeking medical treatment; a certain doctor recommended her, saying she was a top‑level master in treating male ailments.

His condition was serious, but in front of Hu Meiniang there was no difficulty.

That's why he sought out Hu Meiniang!

At that time.

Upon meeting Hu Meiniang, seeing her at first glance left him stunned; it was his first time seeing such a beautiful person, and he wondered deep down whether such a lovely beauty could truly cure male ailments.

Or rather than cause them?

Until Hu Meiniang cured his illness in a few moves, leaving him astonished; he then wanted to invite her to a meal to thank her for saving his brother, and also to express his affection for her.

During that time.

While he was expressing his affection, he learned that Hu Meiniang was actually a monster; he was stunned on the spot, for the image of a female demon wild boar spirit still occasionally appears in his mind, frightening him.

It let him clearly know the terror of the female demon.

Even his inability to become aroused is a aftereffect of being defiled by the female demon.

He very much wanted to escape, but a few words from Hu Meiniang dispelled his intention to flee, and even the fading affection flared up again.

Who let him be a lecherous bold type; lust once again consumed his reason.

Afterwards.

From other channels he learned about Hu Meiniang's situation, knowing she had ambiguous relations with many strongmen and even talented scions of the prefectural city.

He didn't mind, after all he was a perennial wanderer in the pleasure quarters, not exactly a paragon himself, so how could he object to women's openness?

Even this time his contact with Hu Meiniang saw many underground gambling houses taking bets.

The betting methods were all sorts!

What they bet on was nothing but men‑and‑women matters!

Hu Meiniang took an interest in Daoist Xuanqing; he didn't mind, nor did he worry that while she was seeing him she would cuckold him.

Daoist Xuanqing is neither a strongman nor a genius youth! It wasn't Shu Mu's remarks that made Hu Meiniang curious about Daoist Xuanqing.

Upon hearing Dai Zhishang's words, Liu Dongzhu immediately realized and recalled that not long ago Daoist Xuanqing had said Dai Zhishang had ruined his ability to continue the family line.

Of course.

This is a threat to intimidate Dai Zhishang!

But Daoist Xuanqing also secretly said that Dai Zhishang had been severely defiled by the female demon, and if he didn't rest and recuperate, it might affect his ability to continue the family line.

Liu Dongzhu glanced askance at Dai Zhishang and the flirtatious young woman beside him, and said, "Young Master Dai, Daoist Xuanqing is probably out on business; he's not in the observatory—why don't you come back later to look for him?"

Even though she is a woman, she still finds Hu Meiniang very beautiful.

Of course.

Even more so, she is alluring!

Even a woman of her ilk finds it hard to resist Hu Meiniang's charm—let alone a lecher like Dai Zhishang, who wouldn't spare even a female demon, no need to even think about it.

Could it be that he truly isn't afraid of ruining his ability to continue the family line?

"Madam Wang..."

This novel you have reached.

Dai Zhishang gave a bitter laugh, realizing it might be because of Shu Mu, so Liu Dongzhu wouldn't tell him the location of Daoist Xuanqing's observatory, deliberately making up an excuse to deceive him, and preparing what to say.

At the very least he promised Liu Dongzhu that even if he went to the observatory and found Daoist Xuanqing,

he would not let Shu Mu cause trouble for Daoist Xuanqing!

Hu Meiniang interrupted, saying, "No need to ask—that Daoist Xuanqing is hurrying here!"

"Meiniang, how do you know he's coming here?"

Dai Zhishang blurted out instinctively, and before he could finish speaking, he suddenly realized.

Hu Meiniang is not an ordinary monster but a great demon, with eyes that see all directions and ears that hear all paths; merely noticing that Daoist Xuanqing is coming is nothing special.

Dai Zhishang saw out of the corner of his eye Liu Dongzhu's face change color; it wasn't that he felt embarrassed about being caught in a lie, but rather he was worried that Shu Mu would cause trouble for Daoist Xuanqing, and he said:

"Scholar Shu, if you clash with Daoist Xuanqing, I and Meiniang will not only not stand on your side, but will actually stand against you!"

I actually want to see what ability you have to stand opposite me!

Shu Mu gave a cold laugh, not taking Dai Zhi Shang's threat—accurately speaking, he didn't even put Dai Zhi Shang in his eyes, but instead said to Hu Meiniang in a wronged tone:

Madam Hu, I've been bullied into this state; I don't expect you to stand up for me, but how can you stand opposite me? We—we at least have the kindness of a hundred days for a day as husband and wife!

Just as these words were spoken, Hu Meiniang had not yet—, Liu Dongzhu instead became extremely shocked, never expecting that there was also this matter among them.

Liu Dongzhu's gaze wandered over Hu Meiniang, Shu Mu, and Dai Zhi Shang.

Quite ashamed of the emotional story among them.

Likewise.

There is also a strong curiosity!

Hu Meiniang ignored Shu Mu's wail, and said to Liu Dongzhu: "Madam Wang, I've heard that your son has been taken as a disciple by Daoist Xuanqing; I don't know if I could be allowed to take a look at your esteemed son?"

She not only knew that Daoist Xuanqing had taken Wang Ping'an as a disciple, but also knew that Daoist Xuanqing, for Wang Ping'an's sake, did not hesitate to risk his life and made a trip to the prime minister's mansion.

For the Wang Family—more accurately, to resolve a calamity for Wang Ping'an and Liu Dongzhu.

Just that.

The prime minister's mansion is not so easy to enter; on the way back, he encountered an attack and lost twenty years of his yang lifespan.

She was very curious, not knowing whether it was Daoist Xuanqing's kind heart or Wang Ping'an's extraordinary quality that made Daoist Xuanqing unafraid to risk his life, even to the point of losing twenty years of his yang lifespan, just to stand up for Liu Dongzhu and her child.
