Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 669: Senior Brother Lu Yang’s Words Are Not Wrong
Liu Xiangyu didn’t dare to tell Xu An her true identity, so the two had never registered their marriage.
Xu An wasn’t someone particular about formalities. If his wife was unwilling, so be it; it didn’t matter to him.
Upon hearing this, the three maidservants’ eyes lit up.
All along, Xu An and Liu Xiangyu had addressed each other as husband and wife. The three maidservants hadn’t expected the couple to have never officially registered.
That’s right. To register a marriage with the authorities, at the very least, both parties’ identities must be verified. Savior doesn’t know Liu Xiangyu is a snake demon, which means they haven’t registered their marriage.
Then what kind of legitimate wife are you?
Since you, Liu Xiangyu, haven’t gone to register, doesn’t that mean we’re all standing on the same starting line?
Master is truly a master—he’s able to see the details we had overlooked.
“As for the four of you taking turns engaging in relations with Benefactor Xu and causing his yang energy deficiency, that is beyond this poor monk’s ability. However, this senior brother of mine can solve your problem.”
Shi Chan solemnly introduced Meng Jingzhou.
“My elder brother here possesses yang-boosting blood. I believe Benefactress Liu isn’t unfamiliar with it.
“Benefactor Xu is a mortal. A single drop of yang-boosting blood must be diluted thousands of times before consumption. From a long-term perspective, this poor monk suggests the four of you purchase a few drops of yang-boosting blood.”
Meng Jingzhou kept a deadpan face as he retrieved several small bottles containing his yang-boosting blood.
“One hundred thousand spirit stones per drop.” He jacked up the price on the spot.
After the hot sales at the black market, Meng Jingzhou realized he had been selling it too cheaply.
This is the blood of the strongest Single’s Spirit Root cultivator in history, with effects like boosting yang and nourishing the kidney, prolonging one’s lifespan, rendering one impervious to a hundred poisons, enhancing the memory, and improving one’s constitution. It is a treasure that can’t be bought with spirit stones alone. Is one hundred thousand spirit stones per drop expensive? Not at all.
“I’ll buy five drops!” Liu Xiangyu went all out. These three maidservants are seeing an opportunity and are bent on vying with me for the position of legitimate wife.
If I lose my status as the legitimate wife, I’ll have to compete with the three maidservants for bedroom affairs in the future. Whoever buys more blood today will have more confidence and leverage in future disputes.
“I’ll buy six drops!” Little Cui shouted. She was the wealthiest among the four women. The barbeque business is booming, and as the shop manager, I’ve received a substantial cut of the profits.
“I-I’ll buy three drops.” Little Zhu lacked confidence. She came from an unorthodox background and didn’t have enough spirit stones.
As for Little Qiu, she was even more miserable. She was just an artifact spirit and didn’t even have a single spirit stone.
Meng Jingzhou left behind fourteen vials and kept the rest, accepting one million four hundred spirit stones in passing.
Tch. Earning spirit stones like this doesn’t give me any sense of accomplishment.
“Then this poor monk will return to Benefactor Xu’s room with my two elder brothers and wait for dawn. Four benefactresses, please clean up traces of the battle in the courtyard.”
Little Zhu had summoned a snowstorm, and the courtyard was still freezing enough to make one shiver. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
A few hours later, Xu An woke up feeling quite well. “Masters, did you gain anything last night? I feel much more energetic getting up today.”
Meng Jingzhou remarked inwardly, Yeah, man. If you hadn’t drunk my yang-boosting blood, after your activities with a ghost, a demon, and an artifact spirit last night, you’d be too weak to even get out of bed today.
“Amitabha. We had some gains last night. The problem has been resolved. You will no longer suffer from yang energy deficiency in the future, Benefactor.”
Xu An was overjoyed. The experts Big Brother Zhong Ming recommended are truly impressive. “You have worked hard, masters. As for the fee...”
“Five hundred taels of silver will suffice.”
Xu An was startled, not because it was expensive, but because the price was far too cheap.
I’ve sought out so many experts without success. In contrast, the masters resolved it in one night, yet they’re only asking for five hundred taels of silver? As he had his parents’ inheritance, five hundred taels of silver was nothing.
“Then what exactly was the cause for my constant lack of energy?”
“You will naturally know when destiny arrives.”
“Ah, oh.” Xu An thought, This master is being cryptic and mysterious.
He straightened his clothes, planning to have breakfast and continue studying the classics from the sages. The moment he stepped out of his room, he saw his wife and the three maidservants standing at the gate.
The four said in unison, “Hubby/Savior/Master, actually, I’ve been keeping a secret from you. Actually, I am a snake demon/ghost cultivator/fox demon/artifact spirit.”
The four women each revealed their true forms: a several-zhang-long white snake, a ghost cultivator surrounded by chilling yin-winds, a fluffy fox, and an artifact spirit whose form morphed into the phantom of a jade pendant.
Xu An’s eyes rolled back, and he fainted on the spot.
Lu Yang sighed. His courage is really a no go. But the subsequent matters have nothing to do with us anymore.
The trio took advantage of the sparse morning crowds to return to the inn.
A pair of eyes hidden in the shadows silently watched the three figures disappear into the inn, then turned to instruct the subordinates. “Inform His Excellency that they have returned to the inn. We can act now.”
After all the ups and downs last night, even the trio felt exhausted, and they needed proper rest.
About one hour later, a knock came from Lu Yang’s door.
“Is anyone in?”
Lu Yang had been sitting cross-legged. He opened his eyes, still somewhat listless and not fully rested.
Who’s looking for me?
Using his spiritual consciousness, he detected many people standing in the hallway. Judging by their clothing, they were from the authorities.
Lu Yang got up and opened the door. A somewhat portly middle-aged man stood outside.
Upon seeing Lu Yang, the portly man’s face broke into an enthusiastic smile. “You must be Lu Yang, Nephew Lu from the Dao-Seeking Sect, right? Allow me to introduce myself. My surname is Liu. I am the city lord of Chunjiang City.”
Lu Yang was stunned. Why does the city lord know I’m here?
He immediately realized. When I was showing off and keeping up lofty airs in front of Boss Hong, I had announced my name! Boss Hong must have revealed it during the interrogation!
Damn it! I was too focused on showing off at the time and didn’t think about the consequences.
City Lord Liu also summoned Meng Jingzhou and Shi Chan from next door, inviting them both to Lu Yang’s room.
City Lord Liu said amiably, “You three nephews came to Chunjiang City without even a greeting. You’re really standing on ceremony. May I ask if the three of you are in Chunjiang City on a mission for your immortal sects?”
“Amitabha. This poor monk and the others came to Chunjiang City for some personal matters.”
Hearing it was personal matters, City Lord Liu’s smile grew wider. “If you three nephews don’t mind, how about coming to my estate for a simple meal tonight?”
Personal matters? That’s even better! I’ll help you resolve them quickly so you can leave quickly.
Lu Yang suddenly spoke up. “Originally, it was for personal matters. But we happened to discover clues about a diabolic creed here in Chunjiang City.”
Hearing it was related to diabolic creeds, City Lord Liu visibly tensed. “Do you need me to send people to assist?”
Lu Yang shook his head, declining the offer. He stated solemnly, “We are investigating in private. If the authorities also act, the situation will become complicated and may alert the enemy.
“Based on current leads, we found traces of the Nine-Netherworlds Creed operating in Chunjiang City, and this has been going on for some time. Our initial assessment is that the leader is a ghost cultivator who enjoys absorbing the yang energy of men. One man has already fallen victim. Fortunately, we arrived in time, and he survived.
“We also discovered that the ghost cultivator was involved in a chaotic battle between four Nascent Soul cultivators. The various parties tussled and were unwilling to yield, making the situation extremely complex.”
“Senior Brother Shi Chan, is that correct?”
“Amitabha. Monks do not speak of falsehood. Senior Brother Lu’s words are not wrong.”
