Chapter 206

"Fox demon, truly a fox demon, with no morals at all!"

Luo Taiqing cursed silently, but he dared not show any expression; first, Hu Meiniang was not someone he could provoke, and second, humans are actually quite open about male-female relations, so he changed the subject, saying:

"Madam Hu, I don't know what brings you and Zhishang to the Wang family this time?"

"I came to the Wang family because I heard they had a divine eagle, and I wanted to take a look!"

Saying this, Hu Meiniang paused, glanced at Shu Mu, who didn't know if he was dead or alive, and said:

"I just didn't expect to run into this scholar Shu on the road; he told me someone repeatedly used the Ghost Wall technique on him.

Ghost Wall is a lowly heretical method; I haven't learned it, but I've heard a bit about it, and it can only be used in the dead of night.

I never thought someone could actually use it in broad daylight, and repeatedly at that; I'm curious, so I came by to have a look!"

Luo Taiqing exclaimed in surprise: "Madam Hu, Scholar Shu really was hit by the Ghost Wall technique repeatedly!"

Just now.

When Shu Mu cursed loudly, he didn't believe in any punctuation marks—who let him be staying with Daoist Xuanqing at that time, discussing important matters?

How could Daoist Xuanqing possibly have time to run off and toy with Shu Mu?

"When this scholar Shu said that, he swore on his ancestors; do you think he would joke about his ancestors' honor?"

Hu Meiniang smiled.

When she encountered Shu Mu then, although Shu Mu had not suffered the Ghost Wall technique, she could still faintly sense that a different aura clung to him.

Unlike the foul stench of an evil cultivator, like a rat in a sewer, the aura that clung to Shu Mu was like a blazing great sun.

It bore no resemblance to being hit by the Ghost Wall technique at all!

How could a heretical method possibly have the aura of a blazing great sun?

This is also why she wanted to meet Daoist Xuanqing—to see how he had cultivated the Ghost Wall technique into something extraordinary.

To possess the aura of a blazing great sun!

No wonder it can be used in broad daylight!

Hu Meiniang sighed: "I think Scholar Shu isn't lying, after all he swore on his ancestors and wouldn't dare lie.

But since we haven't seen who is teasing him, we suspect that the one teasing him is this Daoist Xuanqing!"

Luo Taiqing repeated: "Madam Hu, just now Daoist Xuanqing was with me the whole time, not leaving my side even a step; he had no time to harm Scholar Shu!"

"I didn't see what you said, but I know it wasn't Daoist Xuanqing teasing Scholar Shu; of course, I just found that out!"

Hu Meiniang smiled; from just now, seeing Daoist Xuanqing risk his life, fighting bloody warriors and a host of soldiers, she wasn't just watching the spectacle—she had seen through his true capabilities.

His abilities are far superior to those of peers at the same cultivation level!

He displayed many techniques, but none of them carried that blazing great sun aura.

Clearly.

The one teasing Shu Mu wasn't Daoist Xuanqing—it was Shu Mu's own misunderstanding!

Luo Taiqing breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Madam Hu, you're as perceptive as a torch; when Scholar Shu wakes up, you must make things clear!"

From the earlier battle, even if Daoist Xuanqing lost his wits, using his weaknesses to drain the enemy's strengths, yet even if Shu Mu went berserk, burning his essence and blood, and even used the Confucian master's General's Ode jade pendant, he still couldn't overcome Daoist Xuanqing.

This is enough to show that Shu Mu is no match for Daoist Xuanqing, but Shu Mu isn't alone—he has the Shu family behind him; if the Shu family decides to take revenge on Daoist Xuanqing, unless Daoist Xuanqing has heavenly abilities,

he could of course flee this place; otherwise, Daoist Xuanqing won't have a good ending!

He naturally doesn't want Daoist Xuanqing to flee this place or be retaliated against by the Shu family, after all, Daoist Xuanqing promised him something that hasn't yet been fulfilled.

Although.

Daoist Xuanqing revealed to him that Lady Wang actually doesn't oppose the engagement between her daughter and Wang Ping'an; in fact, she doesn't need Daoist Xuanqing's matchmaking—just prolonged contact and growing affection will naturally bring them together.

He still hopes Daoist Xuanqing will help with the matchmaking, at least adding an extra layer of security.

He certainly must help Daoist Xuanqing resolve the impending problem!

"You want me to help explain, but I think you'd be better off taking this scholar Shu away and finding him a doctor!"

Hu Meiniang joked: "Given his current condition, if he doesn't get timely treatment, I can't guarantee whether he'll be in mortal danger!"

"Madam Hu, you're right!"

Luo Taiqing's face changed; as he was about to take Shu Mu away, after just a few steps he seemed to think of something, his face full of difficulty.

Dai Zhishang stepped forward, saying: "Uncle Luo, rest assured, I'm here; nothing will happen!"

"Zhishang, please take care of things here!"

Luo Taiqing said a line, then without hesitation went up to Shu Mu, grabbed him, hoisted him onto his shoulder, and hurriedly ran outside.

Watching Luo Taiqing carry Shu Mu away, Hu Meiniang withdrew her gaze, turned to look at Liu Dongzhu, her face full of amusement, she walked over briskly, but this frightened Liu Dongzhu into repeatedly stepping back.

"Madam Wang, don't be afraid; although I'm a monster, I don't harm people. If you keep stepping back, you might trip yourself; I don't know if you'll get hurt if you fall, but the child in your arms will surely come to harm!"

As soon as Hu Meiniang finished speaking, Liu Dongzhu stopped her backward steps, but her face and eyes were full of barely concealed fear, and she self-mockingly said:

"Am I really that scary?"

She has encountered all sorts of people, but she has met even more lechers; her scandalous reputation spread from the moment she appeared in the prefecture city, and virtuous people who keep themselves pure would not come to see her.

She never thought about provoking such people, fearing she'd try to steal a chicken and end up losing the rice used to lure it.

Whether human or monster, there aren't many of other things, but there are many lechers.

She only needs to crook her finger, and countless lechers will swarm; why would she go looking for trouble, possibly even inviting murderous disaster?

Besides lechers, she has also encountered many women who curse her loudly; she doesn't get angry, but rather feels proud, for those women's husbands have all had their souls hooked away by her.

The loud curses from those women's mouths, in her view, are not dirty words but her medals of honor.

How could she get angry?

She hasn't even had time to be happy!

This is still the first time she's seen someone so afraid of her, and that person is a woman.

Dai Zhi Shang said worriedly: "Meiniang, why don't you stand here and ask Madam Wang?"

"Okay!"

Hu Meiniang stopped, glanced at Dai Zhi Shang, not angry, knowing he said that because the Wang Family Members had saved his life, she said directly:

"Madam Wang, I've heard your family has a divine eagle; I wonder if I could take a look?"
