"sir."
"your two servings of snake meat are here, one steamed and one braised. would you like to see if they are thick enough and long enough?" the waiter brought the snake meat, nearly filling the entire table, and respectfully said, "sir, i'll take my leave. if you have any questions, don't hesitate to call for me."
lu xun nodded, took out some silver from his pocket, and tossed it to the considerate waiter, smiling gently, "this is for you."
"oh! thank you, sir! thank you!" receiving the reward, the waiter was overjoyed, expressing continuous gratitude to the handsome young daoist before him.
after seeing off the waiter, lu xun picked up his chopsticks and picked up a piece of steamed snake meat to taste. the flavor was sweet and delicate, and the texture tender and smooth. it was so delicious that he got goosebumps all over his body. after having a glass of wine, he felt like he was in heaven.
finally, back in the mortal world!
lu xun thought about the current leisure and comfort, and then recalled his previous painful experiences. a sense of grievance surged from deep within. his life had been too bitter. things were getting better day by day, but then he had to encounter the formidable miao feng and xuan yin. since then, he had become their dual cultivation tool and punching bag. at the slightest disagreement, they would beat him up.
too bloody! too violent!
this world already relies on the strong bullying the weak, and yet they still abused me everywhere!
sigh...
"the blade cuts through water, and the water flows. raise the cup to dispel sorrow, and the sorrow only deepens." lu xun sighed, picked up the wine jug beside him, filled a small cup for himself, and raised it, drinking it all at once. as the liquor passed his throat, it felt like being burnt by fire, making it sting painfully. but even so, it couldn't suppress the sadness in his heart. waves of grievances gushed out uncontrollably, emitting endless low groans from his chest.
however uncomfortable he felt, immortal miao feng and xuan yin, the two female demons, were extremely rare beauties in terms of appearance and figure. for example, his own fiance, although she appeared cold and frosty with a somewhat irritable temper, her charming appearance had the sense of a young woman. especially her figure, it was truly alluring and graceful.
as for immortal miao feng...
she was undoubtedly a mature beauty, overflowing with charm and incomparably enchanting. just standing next to her, one could strongly feel the indescribable allure she exuded. although her figure was not as slim as xuan yin's, she had a slender and well-defined waist, especially in the chest area. she was more open-minded than xuan yin, though xuan yin wasn't bad either. it's just that the comparison's too exaggerated.
lu xun ate the snake meat and drank the wine while his mind was filled with inexplicable thoughts. at times, he pitied his miserable life, and at other times, he worried about how to deal with immortal miao feng and xuan yin. in short, he was currently confused, fantasizing about freedom while deeply immersed in the situation, unable to extricate himself.
just at this moment, several green-robed daoists arrived at the restaurant, each holding long swords with daoist symbols carved on them. they split into two groups, three people at one table, two men and one woman, showing signs of strong cultivation. the other table seated four young men, looking quite inexperienced and clearly new to the path of cultivation.
"junior sister."
"what would you like to eat?" the older daoist asked the woman beside him with a respectful expression.
"just order anything." the woman replied casually.
"waiter!" the older daoist called out.
"coming, coming! what can i do for you, sir?" the waiter asked with lowered head and a bow.
"bring your signature dishes for both tables, and two pots of good wine, half a catty each." the older daoist said grandly.
"alright!"
"sir, please wait a moment. i will give the instructions to the kitchen right away." the waiter hurriedly went into the kitchen.
sitting in the corner, lu xun ate the snake meat and drank the wine, while secretly observing the group of people dressed as daoists. if things were as he expected, they were probably here for the remaining piece of the heavenly dao diagram, making them competitors with him and his wife.
taking the opportunity, he secretly glanced at the only woman among them and immediately felt disappointed, shifting his gaze away. she had no distinguishing features. too ordinary!
"senior brother."
"where can we find that remaining piece of the diagram? quanzhou is so big; there's probably no chance we can find it with just a few of us." one of the men sitting with the older daoist furrowed his brow, showing helplessness and confusion on his face.
"junior brother."
"you misunderstood master's intention. he sent us down the mountain not to find the map but to investigate. the heavenly dao diagram is so precious; how could just the few of us handle it? we'll need the entire green mountain sect to participate; otherwise, we won't stand a chance." the older senior brother said calmly, "for these few days, we need to be smart, explore any suspicious signs, and find out what others are talking about. as soon as we get any information, we'll send messages immediately."
the junior brother nodded and was about to speak when suddenly a group of rough-looking men entered the restaurant. each of them was burly and fierce, especially with their weapons, large cleavers that exuded a domineering air.
"waiter!"
"hurry up!" the leader of the rough men slammed his cleaver on the table, causing it to shake dangerously.
"sir!"
"it's all my fault! it's all my fault! i kept you waiting, sir." the waiter quickly approached the burly man, nodding and bowing, and asked, "what would you like, sir?"
"these two tables."
"each with twenty catties of beef, and two barrels of top-quality wine." the burly man took out a silver ingot, spoke roughly, and said, "hurry up! if my brothers get hungry because of any delay, the sky eagle gang won't let you off."
upon hearing the name "sky eagle gang," the waiter turned pale with fear, trembling all over, and said in a shaky voice, "sir, i'll go to the kitchen right away."
saying this, she approached lu xun, sword in hand, and swung it towards his neck, sternly asking, "who are you? why are you instigating trouble without reason? what's your intention?"
"i-i'm just here to eat," lu xun replied, pretending to be frightened, "please spare me, female hero!"
"so, the green mountain sect is a bunch of despicable cowards who do things behind others' backs," the scarred man berated disdainfully, "you clearly did it, but you push an innocent fool out to be your scapegoat."
"you!"
"shut up!"
"you're nothing more than a simple-minded, physically strong waste." the female disciple moved her sword away from lu xun's neck and turned to glare at the man who spoke wildly.
tensions escalated, and both sides were on the verge of a confrontation.
"clang!"
lu xun's sword fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.
already in a highly tense situation, both groups heard this sudden noise and thought the other side had attacked first. they began to engage in a scuffle, avoiding fatal strikes, as killing someone in the city would result in being wanted by the authorities.
"what's happening? what's happening?"
the innkeeper hurried downstairs and was shocked by the scene before him. the tables and chairs were all broken, and several people were lying on the ground.
"stop! stop fighting! don't continue!" the innkeeper desperately shouted.
as he spoke, one burly man, like a broken kite, knocked the innkeeper unconscious with a powerful blow. struggling to get up from the ground, he picked up the dropped large knife and rejoined the fight with the others.
"leader!"
"the officials must be coming!"
"what should we do?" the scarred man, looking at the green mountain sect disciples who were evenly matched with them, anxiously asked the burly man at the side, "this won't work; all our brothers are injured."
"let's go!" the burly man said coldly.
hearing that the officials were coming, the green mountain sect didn't dare to delay any longer. despite being a reputable sect, fighting and causing a scene in the city would tarnish their reputation. they quickly fled as well.
the seven members of the green mountain sect arrived at a dark alley and collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath. the senior disciple looked at his junior disciples and found that everyone had knife wounds. frowning, he said, "when things calm down, let's find an inn to stay, and then..."
"oh no!"
"i've lost my money pouch!"
the senior disciple suddenly realized that his money pouch was missing, and his face turned pale.
"i-i lost mine too."
"even my silver is gone."
"mine too!"
at the same time, the members of the sky eagle gang, who were also fleeing, discovered the same issue.
"leader! i've lost my silver!"
"me too."
"i also lost mine."
...
"i'm so lucky."
"to think that i could pick up so much silver just by having a meal. the heavens truly favor me!" lu xun walked alone on the street, not worried at all about being chased. his pocket was bulging with the silver he had found.
passing by a shop that sold rouge, lu xun pondered for a moment and quietly walked in.
"young sir?"
"are you buying rouge for your lady?" the shopkeeper of the rouge shop asked with a smiling face.
"yes. give me a box of your best rouge."
"wait, make it two boxes!"
that was close! lu xun almost forgot about the big demoness.
