“Two months ago, scholar Wang from the eastern part of the town died in his house.”
“He was quite young, maybe around thirty years old.”
“I heard he didn’t have any serious illnesses before, but you know, birth, old age, sickness, and death are all natural. Nobody paid much attention to it.”
“Then strange things started happening. Originally, the Wang family prepared for his funeral. They placed the coffin in the yard for the mourning, planning to bury him after the seven-day mourning period. But after the seventh day, Wang’s body had disappeared mysteriously.”
“Guess where his body was found? In the neighbor’s pigsty.”
“When they found him, the pigs had already eaten most of Wang’s body. His bones were exposed, and even his eyes and such were all gnawed off. It’s said that on that day, their pig defecated and even excreted a clump of hair and a finger bone. Scholar Wang’s wife fainted at the sight.”
“The neighbor didn’t know when it happened and immediately said it was bad luck. Originally, the relationship between the two families was okay, but because of this incident, it turned sour.”
“Scholar Wang’s family claimed that the neighbors stole Wang’s body to feed the pigs, while the neighbors said Scholar Wang’s family was jealous of their good life and intentionally brought Wang’s body to their place to attract bad luck. Anyway, each side insisted they were right.”
Bai Lixin’s fair and smooth fingertip traced the edge of the tea cup absentmindedly. ‘So, whose fault was it in the end?’”
Chun Tao: “No one knows. Even now, it’s still unclear. It seems now that it was the work of evil spirits, but nobody knew at that time.”
Bai Lixin: “How was Scholar Wang’s body dealt with after it was so badly mutilated?”
Chun Tao: “What else could they do? Scholar Wang was a scholar and he cared about his reputation. His wife wanted to report the incident to the authorities, but Scholar Wang’s mother disagreed. She said if he knew that his body was so badly eaten after his death and it became widely known, he would never rest in peace.”
“Scholar Wang’s wife had no choice but to hurriedly wrap up Scholar Wang’s broken body and stuff it into the coffin, burying it in the back mountain. But, let me tell you, the town is not that big. Any slight movement or disturbance spreads quickly. Although no one talked about it openly, everyone knew about it.”
“In the end, I don’t know who spread rumors, but it became a tale where Scholar Wang’s wife cheated on Scholar Wang, which angered him. That she deliberately threw his body into the neighbor’s pigsty because the neighbor told Scholar Wang about her infidelity and she was revenging.”
“Scholar Wang’s wife is quite strong tempered. After learning about these rumors, she first scolded everyone. The more she did, the more rumors spread around her. The main problem was that her parents-in-law also believed these rumors.”
“In the end, Scholar Wang’s wife couldn’t take it anymore and committed suicide by drowning.”
“On the day she died, she wore a red dress, painted her lips red, and even dyed her fingernails red.”
“The Wang family lost two members within a few days. The parents also became somewhat crazy, speaking incoherently.”
“A woman in red committed suicide. You should understand the meaning. She died with resentment. After that, those who gossiped were afraid of retaliation and dared not say anything more.”
“Later, it was heard that these rumors were intentionally spread by the neighbor because Scholar Wang’s wife initially wanted to report the incident. They couldn’t bear it, so they made up a bunch of nonsense to implicate the innocent wife.”
“People in the town began pointing fingers at the neighbors, saying they caused the downfall of Scholar Wang’s family. This family now hides in their home all day and doesn’t dare to come out to face anyone.”
“The problem started with the mysterious movement of Scholar Wang’s body. After his wife jumped into the water and killed herself, Qingcheng Town was no longer peaceful You know, death is a normal thing, but what’s strange is that these bodies move after death. One day they are lying at home, the next day they are found lying on the street. Some were even found in other people’s homes, just like Scholar Wang initially. People then realized that the movement of Scholar Wang’s body was caused by a evil spirits, not human actions.”
“Scholar Wang’s wife was wrongly accused by the neighbor, and the neighbor also wrongly accused Scholar Wang’s wife. Ah, it’s such a pity. They were good neighbors, how did it end up like this?”
Bai Lixin and Fanjia exchanged glances. Bai Lixin asked, “Where did Scholar Wang’s wife commit suicide? Was it on the bridge at the end of this road?”
Would the red-dressed woman with a white umbrella he saw in the morning be the ghost of Scholar Wang’s wife?
Chun Tao: “It was on the river, but not on that bridge.”
Bai Lixin: “Who took care of her affairs after she died?”
“Speaking of that, I feel sorry for this lady,” Chun Tao sighed. “Some people saw her commit suicide, but her body was never found.”
Bai Lixin looked surprised. “They went down and searched the river, and still haven’t found her till now?”
Wasn’t it similar to what happened this morning? The woman in red jumped into the river, and after the guards went to rescue her, they couldn’t find her body.
Chun Tao nodded earnestly. “Yes, they still haven’t found her.”
Bai Lixin: “You mentioned earlier that Scholar Wang’s family lived in the eastern part of the town? Is there something unclean in that area that led to this situation? Why did it start with Scholar Wang? There are so many people in Qingcheng Town, we haven’t heard about Huang Yuanwai, Li Xiucai, or County Magistrate Lin facing such situations. Why only Scholar Wang?”
Chun Tao: “Oh my, you’re right about that but we dare not bring up Magistrate Lin. He’s the magistrate of our Qingcheng Town. We run a small business here, we can’t afford to offend someone of his stature. But you’re right about one thing: Scholar Wang did act strange after he came back from taking the imperial examination four months ago. Some of his fellow travelers said that he stayed in an abandoned house outside the town overnight when they were trying to avoid the rain. Maybe he brought back something dirty from that place.”
Bai Lixin: “Abandoned house outside the town? Could it be related to fox demons, ghosts or something like that?”
Bai Lixin blinked, a playful look in his eyes. “Could there have been some romantic encounter?”
The monk sitting next to him pursed his lips and lightly tapped the ground with his staff. Bai Lixin instantly felt a pain in his head.
“Ouch,” he rubbed his head and secretly glared at the monk.
The monk remained composed, sitting upright and not looking away. “Where is this abandoned house?”
Chun Tao seemed surprised to hear the monk speak, and was momentarily stunned.
After a moment, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she looked at the monk with a flirtatious expression. “Master, your voice is so magnetic. When you speak, Chun Tao feels weak all over.”
Bai Lixin immediately sat upright, leaning forward to shield her from the monk’s captivating eyes. “Don’t look casually. The master is a true master; he won’t be tempted.”
‘He’s my man, no one can look at him!’
Chun Tao chuckled and retracted her gaze. “I’m just looking, would it hurt to lose a bit of flesh? Look at how possessive you are, young master. Tut-tut-tut, so jealous.”
Bai Lixin: “…”
‘Am I really so bored that I had to look for trouble by dragging a monk to a brothel?’
Chun Tao: “That house is easy to find. Just go straight after leaving the East Gate. You’ll pass by Qingcheng Mountain. At the foot of Qingcheng Mountain, there’s a rundown house. You’ll definitely find it.”
“The house is at Qingcheng Mountain? Didn’t they say Qingcheng Sect protects Qingcheng Mountain and Qingcheng Town? How come there are demons inside Qingcheng Mountain?”
Is that logical?
Chun Tao: “That’s why it’s just a rumor. A few extra words won’t cost us any meat. We also just heard about it, treat it as a fictional tale, enjoy it for fun.”
“Young master, Master, the tea is getting cold. Aren’t you going to drink?”
Bai Lixin lowered his head, only to realize that the steaming hot tea in his cup had lost its heat long ago.
He lifted the teacup, took a sip, and immediately heard the system alert tone in his mind.
[Ding! Warning, sedative components have been detected in the teacup. Poison resistance passive skill activated, toxins automatically cleared for the player.]
[Ding! Friendly reminder, it has been detected that there is an aphrodisiac component in the teacup. This component is not classified as poison and cannot be cleared. The player is advised to consume with caution.]
Bai Lixin’s motion of drinking tea paused slightly.
He glanced at Chun Tao, and saw that she appeared tense and eager, her eyes fixed on him.
He then glanced at Fanjia, who casually lifted his teacup and drank quietly, seemingly unaware of its contents.
If he drank it, did that mean…
Bai Lixin just glanced at Fanjia and immediately lifted the teacup, downing its contents in one gulp.
Chun Tao’s initially tense grip relaxed a bit. He had drunk it, but the dose in the cup was too small, he needed to drink more.
As she prepared to pour more tea for them, the teapot was snatched away by a strong force.
Bai Lixin seized the teacup and promptly filled Fanjia’s cup. “Master, the taste of this Biluochun is excellent. Have some more.”
With that, he poured himself another cup, raised it and drank it in one go.
Seeing this, the monk calmly picked up his teacup and started drinking after Bai Lixin.
After the monk finished his tea, Bai Lixin served him again.
Chun Tao even marveled at his speed in pouring tea.
Watching the two men drinking tea peacefully, Chun Tao and Xia He exchanged bewildered glances.
Did their presence even matter anymore?
This tea was excellent but aren’t a few cups enough?
With this thought, Chun Tao’s eyes once again fell on the monk.
The monk might not have outstanding features, but his aura was impressive, and his voice was magnetic.
It was her first time eating “Tang monk meat.” She wondered how his magnetic voice would sound in bed.
So exciting.
“Both of you, get out! Master and I need to talk privately. Don’t come in unless you’re called!” Chun Tao was daydreaming when a cold and stern voice brought her back to reality.
Her heart skipped a beat and she instinctively looked up, only to see the noble young master glowering at her, his eyes filled with intense hostility.
Startled, she quickly stood up and exchanged a glance with Xia He before plastering a fake smile on her face. “We’ll leave now. If you need anything, feel free to call us. We’ll be outside.”
“Don’t just stay outside,” Bai Lixin stared at Chun Tao’s retreating figure, his voice cold. “Go a bit farther, I’m afraid you might eavesdrop. The matters Master and I discuss are of great importance and must not be leaked.”
Chun Tao and Xia He exchanged glances again. Chun Tao nodded respectfully. “Certainly, dear guests. Take your time.”
With that, they left the room and even remembered to close the door behind them.
Once outside, instead of truly leaving, they positioned themselves by the door.
Chun Tao glanced at the door frame. Her charming smile vanished, replaced by a cold expression.
They both discreetly peeked inside and Chun Tao sneered.
The drug they used was unique to their brothel. Even if a chaste and loyal woman used it, she would need to find a skilled man. They had just drunk so much of it.
‘Don’t be so arrogant now, you’ll come begging us later.
Hahaha.’
Chun Tao chuckled. She was about to whisper something to Xia He when something flew out from the paper-covered doorframe and landed between them with a loud crash.
They instinctively dodged backward. Chun Tao glanced down and saw a wine cup.
The cup lay shattered on the ground, its pieces scattered at their feet.
“Go away, I won’t say it a third time!”
The young master’s cold voice came from inside. Chun Tao peeked inside through the broken paper and her eyes met his threatening gaze.
She quickly averted her eyes and pulled Xia He down the stairs.
After descending, the momo stopped them. “Why did you come down?”
Chun Tao: “The young master kicked us out.”
“Kicked you out?” The momo frowned. “Did you succeed in your task?”
Chun Tao immediately raised her chin. “Momo, I’ve got this under control. They had already drank the tea by the time we came out. I bet the effects will kick in soon. When that happens, we can slip back in unnoticed.”
The momo’s face lit up with joy. “Good, good, well done! If this works out, our establishment won’t ever worry about customers again.”
Xia He was still worried. “Momo, will this plan work? What if the young master is from a prestigious family?”
“Prestigious family?” The momo glared at Xia He. “Are you stupid? Which well-bred young master would become a monk? It’s either because they got kicked out by their family or their family fell on hard times, so they have no choice but to enter the monastery. The more prestigious they were, the more helpless they are. I can judge people accurately. If we can capture that young beauty, we won’t lack customers. We can break down all barriers. Understand?”
With the Momo’s assurance, Xia He didn’t dare to argue further. She simply nodded seriously and stood aside quietly.
—————————-
In the room, Bai Lixin poured another cup of tea for Fanjia. “Master, isn’t this tea wonderful?”
Fanjia nodded silently.
Bai Lixin’s eyes gleamed. “Indeed, have more. I spent money on this, we can’t afford to waste it.”
‘Hurry up and drink it, hurry up and let the drug take effect. Then we’ll get down to business.’
Fanjia: “…”
———————————-
In the live broadcast room
[Cough, cough, judging by God Xin’s expression and eyes, I guess there’s something in the tea.]
[God Xin’s eyes can’t hide the desire for a challenge.]
[Hehehe.]
[It’s a pity that happiness belongs exclusively to them. We can’t even watch the live scene, we can only imagine.]
[Our imagination is limited to this game lobby. Once we leave the game lobby, we won’t remember anything. We won’t remember God Xin, or how their love looks. Wuuu, I must catch up with every copy. So addictive!]
[I love seeing God Xin like this, pretending and craving for a challenge.]
[Haha, this brothel wants God Xin to entertain guests? How dare they? Aren’t they afraid God Xin will demolish the place?]
[God Xin might just destroy the building, the big boss might do even worse, he might just raze everything to the ground.]
——————————-
After finishing a pot of tea, Bai Lixin casually threw the teapot aside and patiently waited for the drug to take effect.
He glanced at the door, and happened to notice a hole in the door.
This hole allowed a view inside. The room belonged to him alone. There was no way he would let others enjoy the upcoming intimate moments.
After a brief consideration, he stood up, grasped Fanjia’s staff, and walked toward the inner room. “Master, I need to talk to you. Let’s go inside. There’s a hole at the door, I’m worried someone might peek.”
Fanjia frowned at the staff that was laying in Bai Lixin’s hands obediently.
He possessed an invulnerable body and a lotus body. He was originally a golden lotus in the heavens, enlightened by the Buddha, and he entered the mortal realm to practice Buddhism.
Because of his lotus body, he is impervious to all poisons. Even knowing that the Biluochun tea was drugged, he felt no fear.
However, the fox demon’s behavior was intriguing.
Judging from the way the fox demon poured tea so eagerly, he probably knew about the drug. So, what was his intention in serving him tea repeatedly?
Although he didn’t know what the fox demon was up to, that cunning smile indicated ill intentions.
How could a fox demon this wicked be accepted by the staff?
Was his staff broken?
He would test it out another day.
After pondering for a moment, Fanjia stood up and followed Bai Lixin into the inner room hidden behind the curtain.
He wanted to figure out what this fox demon was up to.
“Two months ago, scholar Wang from the eastern part of the town died in his house.”
“He was quite young, maybe around thirty years old.”
“I heard he didn’t have any serious illnesses before, but you know, birth, old age, sickness, and death are all natural. Nobody paid much attention to it.”
