Chapter 28: Self-humiliation
Li Wudao now has two stores. The original Tong's Herbal Medicine Store has been replaced with a new sign and is used as the warehouse of Qige Herbal Medicine Shop.
After Li Wudao counted the medicinal material reserves, three days had passed. Tomorrow is the day when the election of the top beauties in Yurun Palace will begin.
"Haha, thank you, Shopkeeper Ge! There's a way to get started, there's a way to get started!" A peddler who delivered medicinal herbs to Li Wudao, holding the martial arts method given to him by Li Wudao, said happily.
The other vendors stared with envy, but at the same time they resolved to keep working hard and exchange enough herbs for free skills.
"No need to thank me. You have done me, Li Wudao, a favor. This is what you deserve." Li Wudao had a smile on his face. It had only been more than 20 days, and someone had sent him 200 taels of medicinal materials. This was something he had not expected. He could only say that the business of Qige Medicinal Materials Shop was too good.
The technique Li Wudao gave him was called Na Tian Jue, a low-level technique. As for the You Lan Sutra, Li Wudao would never give it away, lest they be hunted down by the Lan family.
Watching the delivery vendor leave, Li Wudao looked at Meng Qi beside him and said with a smile, "The Oiran election will begin tomorrow. Are you ready?"
"Hmph! I'm naturally beautiful, what else do I need to prepare?" Qi Meng's pretty face was filled with confidence. Then, with a glance, she said, "If I could buy some rouge and powder, that would be even better."
Qi Meng was born pretty and didn't need any rouge or powder to embellish her beauty. But with those things, her complexion would naturally be better.
Li Wudao nodded, thinking of recruiting some shop assistants and entrusting the Qige Medicinal Materials Shop to Luo Yuan, so that he could get out of this situation.
"Okay, I'll accompany my girl to buy rouge." Li Wudao looked at Qi Meng and said with a doting look on his face.
After saying hello to Luo Yuan, Li Wudao and Qi Meng walked out the door.
Yilong Town is just a small town, and while it feels like it's in need of a rebuild due to the influx of foreign warriors, that won't last long. Even though the streets are crowded, the only cosmetics shop with a long wait is on the main street.
Li Wudao took Qi Meng all the way out of the town and finally arrived at the main street.
"I didn't expect that a grown man like you would actually take me to buy women's things." Qi Meng became excited the moment she walked into the store. She picked left and right and said to Ge Ren who was following her.
"No rush, take your time to choose." Li Wudao looked at the rouge and powder, feeling like he had entered a new world. He said patiently, "As long as you like, I can accompany you."
There were all kinds of blush, gouache, rouge, pearl powder, etc. in the rouge shop. The color difference between each rouge was extremely vague. Li Wudao felt dizzy and couldn't tell them apart at all.
Seeing Qi Meng happily choosing, I followed her and watched quietly.
Suddenly, Li Wudao took a fancy to a hairpin. It was made of silver and shone brightly. The hanging phoenix tail pendant was very exquisite. He thought it would look particularly beautiful on Qi Meng's head.
"Boss, please take that pendant off for me." Li Wudao looked at Qi Meng who was choosing rouge and said to the boss.
The shopkeeper was a middle-aged woman who still had some charm. After giving the hairpin to Geren, she saw him holding the hairpin in the distance, gesturing at Qimeng's head with a smile on his lips.
"I guess you love her very much." The shopkeeper said enviously with the look of an experienced person.
Li Wudao nodded, quite satisfied with the hairpin, and asked the shopkeeper to wrap it up.
"This hairpin is nice. How much is it? I want it!" When the shopkeeper was preparing to wrap the hairpin, a white arm stretched out and forcefully grasped the hairpin in his hand.
Li Wudao raised his eyebrows and looked at him with displeasure on his face.
This is a beautiful woman with an excellent figure and appearance. She looks very hot in a fiery red palace dress. Her eyebrows are slightly raised, which makes her look strong.
She had reached the peak of the Bitter Sea Realm at such a young age, and she was accompanied by two maids, so it was obvious that she was from a prominent family.
"Miss Li, this young man wanted this hairpin first." The shopkeeper recognized the girl and said embarrassedly.
"What? Is there anyone who dares not to give me, Li Feng, what I want?" Li Feng spoke in a stiff and extremely forceful tone. At the same time, he glanced at Li Wudao with a cold look of disdain.
The Li family has two sons, Li Long and Li Feng. One is the eldest son of the Li family, Li Long, and the other is the eldest daughter of the Li family, Li Feng.
"This..." The shopkeeper was in a difficult position. Li Feng was a regular customer of the store, and the Li family was very powerful. She could not afford to offend them.
Seeing the look in the shopkeeper's eyes, Li Wudao didn't blame her. He turned to Li Feng and said, "Put the jade hairpin down quickly and pretend nothing happened."
“Bold!”
"How dare you speak to my young lady like that!"
Before Li Feng could speak, the two maids beside her directly scolded Li Wudao, causing Li Wudao's face to change.
"It has already happened, how can we pretend it never happened?" Li Feng's face was radiant, and he said arrogantly: "I want this jade hairpin, what can you do!"
Li Wudao raised his eyebrows. Facing the arrogant and domineering Li Feng, he had the urge to tear her face off.
"What? You want to hit a woman?" Li Feng looked at Li Wudao and said disdainfully, "Even with your great accomplishments in the Bitter Sea Realm, don't humiliate yourself!"
Li Wudao's brows twitched when he heard this. This woman was indeed too much. Ge Ren didn't know what to do facing her.
If others knew that Li Wudao bullied weak women, they would laugh their heads off!
"Who the hell are you? How dare you offend my man!" Qi Meng didn't understand what was going on, but when she saw Li Wudao being ridiculed by Li Feng, she instantly went berserk.
Qi Meng's energy in Dantian fluctuated, and a black light wrapped around Xing's hand, and she attacked Li Feng directly!
"You are a minor success in the Bitter Sea Realm, and you dare to be so presumptuous? Beat them up!" The two maids beside Li Feng were also minor success warriors in the Bitter Sea Realm. Following her instructions, they went straight to kill Qi Meng.
Qi Meng stepped lightly with her jade feet, showing her nimble body movements, like a leaping elf, her blue wide-sleeved fairy skirt fluttering, she walked around the two ferocious maids, came to Li Feng and raised her right hand.
“Bang!”
The slap came so fast that Li Feng didn't even have time to react before Qi Meng slapped him hard.
"You...you dare to hit me, I will kill you!" Li Feng had never suffered such humiliation before, and her fur stood up instantly. She grabbed Qi Meng like an angry lioness.
Qi Meng had a high level of cultivation, so she was not afraid of Li Feng. She twisted her body again and came behind Li Feng. She lifted her jade foot slightly and kicked Li Feng's knee.
“Plop!”
Li Feng was kicked by Qi Meng, and his knees softened and he fell to the ground with a dull sound.
"Hey, what are you doing? Why do you have to perform such a grand ceremony?" Qi Meng came to Li Wudao and said in surprise when she saw Li Feng kneeling on the ground.
Li Wudao was shocked. If he hadn't seen Qi Meng take action with his own eyes, he would have thought that it was Li Feng who took the initiative to salute.
Women are indeed born to be actors, Qi Meng's acting skills are really amazing!
"You... you're pretty good, I'll give you some advice!" Li Feng was suppressed by Qi Meng, and finally realized that he had met a ruthless person. After saying these harsh words, he threw down his hairpin and left with his maid.
"Hey, if you didn't make a move, I would have thought you were going to hit a woman." Li Wudao picked up the hairpin, looked at Qi Meng and said, "This woman is so annoying. She dared to make a move on my Qi Meng. She is asking for trouble. My Qi Meng is still adorable."
"Is this the hairpin? Humph! She has taken it, I don't want it anymore." Qi Meng took the hairpin, looked at it, and said dissatisfiedly.
At the same time, she looked at Li Wudao with an expectant look. Li Wudao had been with her for so many years, so of course he understood what she meant.
Finally, Li Wudao chose a hairpin for Qi Meng and left with a satisfied Qi Meng.
