Chapter 177

"I helped Hua Manlou replace his eyes this morning; he should be able to see the light again in a month. Now that I possess this medical skill, once I finish attending Zhang Zhenren's hundredth birthday banquet, it will be time to head to the capital to fulfill my promise to Wujing and help her heal her legs!"

"So he still remembers; he hasn't forgotten the promise he made to me!"

Inside the back garden of the Divine Marquis Mansion in the capital, a woman sat in a wheelchair, checking a copy of the diary. Seeing this, a smile appeared on her face.

"After helping Hua Manlou replace his eyes, he and Lu Xiaofeng went to investigate the counterfeit silver case. That constable, Luo Ma, should be uncovered by Lu Xiaofeng very soon. I just wonder if there is anyone behind him?"

I don't know if it's because I've read too many conspiracy theories, but I always feel like many things have a sense of being unfinished. Perhaps I'm overthinking it; after all, everything falls apart under scrutiny. I'd better stop thinking about it. It has nothing to do with me anyway—I'm the one spending the silver, so what does the silver note business have to do with me?"

Then, my busybody self had to rush to Li Yuan with A Fei to deal with Lin Xian'er. Sigh, truly, the capable are burdened with more work!"

"But in the end, it was A Fei who killed Lin Xian'er, which was something I hadn't expected. A tragic fate, truly a tragic fate. The original A Fei was willing to put down his sword for Lin Xian'er and retire to the countryside, yet the current A Fei pierced Lin Xian'er's heart with his sword. Fate truly plays tricks on people!"

"What fate or no fate? A Fei was supposed to be like that, but because you stuck your nose in and told him exactly what kind of person Lin Xian'er was, of course he wouldn't repeat the same mistakes!"

The heroines secretly grumbled. Lin Fan brought so much uncertainty to the originally predetermined events, which is why things took such dramatic turns. As bystanders, they saw it all clearly.

"But it was truly satisfying to trade blows with Shangguan Jinhong today. His Dragon-Phoenix Rings are indeed formidable. I benefited a lot from that great battle; after all, the trash I encountered before was basically killed in one move, which wasn't very satisfying! It's a pity I forgot to collect his corpse. Amitabha! But I think he shouldn't blame me... right?"

"His Money Gang has many members; someone should collect his corpse. If there really isn't anyone, the local government will step in."

"Otherwise, it would be quite lamentable for a generation's hegemon to be left exposed like that."

"However, the biggest gain today wasn't this duel, but the Jinghong Fairy and her maid, Xing'er. Both women are familiar faces. The 'Ehuang and Nüying' experience is truly endlessly memorable, though it is a bit physically taxing."

"The Jinghong Fairy is gifted. If this continues, it won't do; the body can't take it and will become increasingly haggard. If I am harmed by wine and lust in the future, I will have no choice but to helplessly give up drinking."

"I hope the system can provide me with the 'Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon' for the 'Yellow Emperor's Three Thousand Consorts Ascension' soon!"

"Unfortunately, this is rather ethereal. What's more practical is finding Zhang Sanfeng of Wudang. I plan to go to Mount Wudang to attend his hundredth birthday banquet. Since he can maintain such a youthful face and vibrant spirit at his age, he must have a special way of nourishing life. I can ask him for advice when the time comes!"

"Serves you right! Who told you to have so many women? Scared now? You even boasted about collecting all the beauties in the world. From ancient myths to the present, only the Yellow Emperor could achieve the 'three thousand consorts' and ascend. Even an emperor who claimed to have three thousand beauties in his harem would at most favor a few dozen or a hundred in his entire life!"

Seeing this, the heroines covered their mouths and giggled. How could a man have the energy to accompany so many women? It's truly impossible to be in two places at once. Lin Fan is just asking for trouble. ===== CHAPTER 179 =====
