I only seek to enjoy the present moment, regardless of dying in a foreign land tomorrow. With a blade in hand, I'll slay demons and men alike. "Ladies and gentlemen, please be on your way!&...
161 Chai Family Compound
The women walked slowly behind. Danru and Qingti were both tall and their clothes were not quite right. They slipped and fell down, about to land face down.
He Chen caught them with his large hand, and the two of them were so frightened that they collapsed into his arms.
Seeing this, Huifu and Bai Rong quickly came to her side. In the dim light, the four of them exchanged a brief glance, then looked at the strong, young figure, and instantly made up their minds!
"My lord," Huifu whispered in his ear, clinging tightly to him, "it's so dark in here, I'm a little scared! My lord, although we are virgins, our reputation is ruined. We don't ask for your favor, we only beg you to stay by your side, to serve you as your servants, hoping you will take us in."
Bai Rong shrank back as if he were being cradled in the arms of the six-foot-tall man, hugging himself tightly. Terrified of the dark, secret room, he whispered, "Please, sir, take us in. We have nowhere to go. The outside world is full of contempt for the Chai family. Although we have no connection whatsoever, we are burdened by their reputation. Please, sir, take us in."
Danru and Qingti were embracing each other tightly, their fragrance wafting through the air.
He Chen's divine sense remained constant, keenly sensing the women's intentions, but they weren't deceiving him, which was normal. They didn't refuse, but collecting information from the secret chamber was the priority at the moment.
With a heavy heart, he nodded. "Alright, I agree. You can continue to live in this Chai residence from now on. However, we need to arrange for someone to conduct a thorough inspection. Some areas will require repairs."
Then, struggling to get up, the girls quickly helped He Chen up when they saw that he was in trouble. They then patted the dust off He Chen's body and cleaned him carefully from head to toe.
Huifu and Bai Rong stood on the left and right, while Danru and Qingti stood in front and behind, meticulously cleaning.
He Chen paid no attention to this at the moment, looking around the secret room. The secret room was ten feet long and three feet wide. There was a half-foot long table next to him, on which were many open boxes, decorated with all kinds of jewelry, which were extremely beautiful. There were birds, beasts and other shapes.
He Chen glanced at them casually and said, "Take any jewelry you like." Then he pulled his arms away from where they were being tightly held. Hui Fu and Bai Rong clung to him tightly on either side, probably because it was dark inside and they were scared.
Gently remove the arms of the other two people in front and behind him, and look into the depths of the secret chamber, where there are several boxes. Two of them are three feet tall and wide, and are secured with red copper locks.
Watching He Chen walk inside to explore the secret chamber, Hui Fu, Bai Rong, Dan Ru, and Qing Ti glanced at it briefly. Hui Fu looked at the other three and winked. The three women immediately nodded in agreement.
He quickly took the jewelry off the three-foot-long table, put it away neatly.
He Chen walked to the first box, opened it, and found it filled with land deeds and house deeds—so many! Seeing this weighed heavily on He Chen's heart. He quickly put them away. It seemed he would need to find someone to manage them for him. "Gui San, notify him to come over later."
Open the second chest, and inside is a chest full of gold, gold ingots, all neatly arranged. Put it away.
There were also four small boxes, about the size of a piece of paper. When I opened them, I found the Chai Family Manual, along with detailed annotations. The later stages of the manual would lead to impotence!
He Chen was quite surprised. Sure enough, there were many flaws in the quick cultivation method. However, the advantages and disadvantages of such a method depended on the individual's choice.
The other boxes contained letters and records, documenting some of Wanzhou's secrets. One section was particularly interesting.
'Haha, I've finally become a Martial King! Although the price I paid was quite high, now that I'm a Martial King, none of these problems matter anymore.'
The record at the back reads, 'No, something's not right! What's going on? Why can't I recover? I, a dignified Martial King, can't recover? How is that possible? I've undergone a complete transformation!'
'No, this absolutely cannot be revealed now. This ancestral technique cannot be restored; this is utterly absurd! If a Martial King cannot, a Martial Emperor should be able to. I will become a Martial Emperor.'
Resources, I need to collect resources.
"I'm especially happy today. My son is indeed exceptionally talented. He's joined the Ten Thousand Year Sect, which is said to have immortals. Once my son has mastered his cultivation, I believe he can resolve this matter, making my ascension to the Martial Emperor realm much easier."
"I want to take a concubine! I want to take a concubine! I am the most powerful man in Wanzhou, how can I not take a concubine?"
The following section records some reasons for taking concubines, letting people know how powerful they were.
He Chen thought to himself, 'The Ten Thousand Year Sect, the eldest son... I guess I need to inquire about him. An immortal, huh? I need to be careful. After all, even immortals need resources!'
So, he quickly put all the items away and placed them in his spatial ring, then slowly turned around.
On the three-foot-long table, there were four strange figures. At this moment, their coats were already spread on the table. They were all wearing the same unlined silk mini-skirts, dark green or pink vests, and peach blossom pockets!
Hui Fu did the splits, her long legs appearing even whiter and longer. Her delicate white body stood on one leg, as graceful as a tall swan, with one leg raised above her head, adorned with a lotus seat.
Four feet of flowing hair swayed in the breeze, and several pretty faces flushed slightly. Their rosy cheeks radiated spring, their tenderness was like water, and their large, watery eyes gazed upon them!
As they slowly approached, the women remained motionless, like sculptures, exquisitely crafted, with radiant, translucent skin, as beautiful as spring orchids and autumn bamboo.
With a wave of his hand, the outer door closed automatically without any wind.
Instantly, four different fragrances filled the air, and the cold, secluded room was no longer cold.
It was as if a mouse had crawled into the table, gnawing and squeaking. Her beautiful hair swayed, sometimes blowing east and west, sometimes bobbing up and down, disheveled in the wind, and she was drenched in sweat.
Two hours later, the sounds gradually stopped. Curled up in the room, I gently circulated my inner energy, the temperature in the secluded room was just right, and I fell soundly asleep!
In the morning, Yun Su, Piao Miao Yue, and the other girls got up, washed up, and prepared to go out. They put on ordinary clothes with cross-collars and were ready to go with Rou Rou to check on the sweet potato planting.
The group of women together were more beautiful than flowers, their beauty beyond description; even the moon and flowers would be ashamed of their charm. Rou Rou had also changed into a white outfit and enjoyed a delicious breakfast: soy milk, shumai, porridge, noodles, shrimp wontons, potstickers, scallion pancakes, and sesame balls.
After a simple meal, the women decided to go and see what was so special about the place.
Wanqing asked, "Sister Huayu, I have some medicinal herbs here. Could you help me collect them? After you've collected them, I'll refine Ginseng Heart Pills, Hundred Herbs Pills, Detoxification Pills, and some Blood-Replenishing Pills!"
Jie smiled slightly, took the list, and looked it over carefully. It wasn't complicated. She said, "Sister Wanqing, we usually collect many of the medicinal herbs listed here. This place is indeed a bit small. Once the mansion is built, you can choose a separate area for alchemy."
Besides ginseng, which is mostly used by adults, there's still quite a bit of everything else here. I'll have someone send it over.
