"Chief, if things continue like this, when will we, the people of Jiuyue, be able to return home? The signs of the dynasty's prosperity are becoming more and more apparent. With the Mysterious Female Daoist and the Nine Dragons National Preceptor around, even if the Heart Constellation collapses due to the reforms, how powerful will the remaining powerful clans be then?"
"It's one thing for those old fogies in the clan to be so closed-minded, but how could someone as enlightened and wise as you, Chieftain, not understand? Jiuyue is merely drinking poison to quench its thirst!"
"If we want the Nine Yue to recover, we must borrow the strength of the Heart Constellation to make up for the backwardness of the Nine Yue. In the end, we should pretend to submit, and then we should look for an opportunity. After we have bided our time and concealed our strength, we can make a comeback, revive the Southern Frontier and return to our homeland! It is not impossible to even drink from the Tai River and unify the North from the South!"
Ma'e looked forward to a bright future. He would never have dared to dream of it before, but after meeting Dao Chengyi, he felt that he could totally dream about it!
Immediately, all sorts of Taoist jargon and vocabulary came rushing out, and the more they talked, the more excited they became. Finally, Wu Guizhi patted him on the head to stop them.
"Although I know you've been in the Heart Constellation for a long time, you don't need to use so many of the Heart Constellation's terms when you speak."
"Let me ask you, how can you be so confident in that kid? According to what you just said, he might not even survive."
The internal energy was tested, but no abnormal internal energy or parasites were found. It is difficult to see any mental problems. I will try it for now.
“Under normal circumstances, he definitely wouldn’t have survived, but isn’t this the perfect opportunity for us to intervene? Chieftain, he’s probably figured out my connection to this place.”
"When I visited him after the Battle of Qingmang to present him with the Tianshui Centipede, I vaguely saw that he had the token of the Fengshi Envoy in his study. With that token, even ordinary Martial Marquises would hesitate to make a move out of consideration for face."
"But if a fourth or even fifth level martial artist were to protect him, he would very likely survive this crisis facing the Mu family!"
"Most importantly, he was also born into the Jiuyue clan; he's a mixed-race individual!"
No matter how big the crisis is, as long as it doesn't involve Zhuge Liang, it's within the mountain stronghold's jurisdiction. Besides, the stronghold has a treasure that can guarantee Dao Chengyi's immortality.
“But have you ever thought that if he really is that talented, why doesn’t he go to the prefectural city with the folk artists, or simply be sent by the Mu family to their ancestral home in Huai’an, Chuzhou?”
"That's why I'm sure he'll be the opportunity. He answered me with just one sentence: 'Since ancient times, how many kings have been ordinary people? The way of martial arts is based on one's own heart, and there is no one else like him.'"
A madman, a madman with full confidence and ambition, but undeniably, it is indeed an opportunity for Jiu Yue. If such a madman causes chaos in Xin Su, then Jiu Yue's opportunity will come.
"Let me go and see for myself."
Ma E was taken aback when he heard this, and then hesitated.
"Isn't it too risky for you to do this yourself?"
"Only after seeing it in person can it be confirmed. Besides, with so many martial arts techniques, how could a naturalized merchant like you possibly get your hands on them?"
After finalizing the arrangements, Ma E was released, and his words planted a seed in Wu Guizhi's heart.
After confirming the effect, Dao Chengyi also heard Youlan's reminder to start the meal. Although he monitored other places and even made arrangements every day, with the help of the multitasking Gu, his body could still cultivate martial arts on its own, in a fully automatic manner.
The food was still quite good; the horned pomfret, nourished by the power of the demon god, was very effective in replenishing the flesh and blood of martial artists.
Considering that Bai Zhi had overexerted herself, most of the fish and meat ended up in her stomach. After the meal, You Lan, as usual, vividly illustrated the saying "when you're full and warm, you think of lust."
This time, however, Dao Chengyi did not enjoy it as he had in the past, but instead prepared to use the things he had nurtured.
“Young master, why are you so detached from worldly desires today? You usually get very excited when I dress like this.”
A bright red bodice, a long black gauze dress, bare, snow-white feet with silver anklets, her every movement exudes an alluring tone, her bending and rising movements are as seductive as a snake.
"Because your skill in poisoning has gotten worse and worse, my good maid. This time you put it directly in the fish. Did you really think I wouldn't notice?"
Dao Cheng put his arm around her waist and gently spat out a tiny, ugly black worm that landed on her smooth, white skin.
This wasn't the first time Youlan had used this, but putting it directly into the dish like this was a bit much. In the past, she would always put the medicine in the serving dish.
"What are you saying, sir? Is it because I didn't clean the fish properly that you're unhappy? With my delicate body and lowly status, how could I possibly have any means to harm you, sir?"
Youlan's expression remained unchanged. As if begging for mercy, she raised her snow-white swan neck and reached down with both hands, trying to help Daocheng relieve his lust.
"Really? But I just don't believe it. Well, I guess, after all, one after another the maids around me have such amazing skills."
"Who could possibly know the truth about such a thing? Don't you think so? You insect master of the Jiuyue clan, do you want to guess whether the Liao family has a backup of this method of casting Gu? Could I get my hands on it?"
While not all of his maids were problematic, Youlan was definitely a major one. Not only did she disguise herself, but she also drugged and inoculated him with insects every day.
If it weren't for the Gu cauldron within him and the pile of bones growing on his body, he might have truly fallen for this woman's tricks and lost his soul in her repeated pursuit of pleasure.
"...Master, I...I really..."
Youlan still looked pitiful. Looking at her face, Daocheng sighed, "I feel sorry for her." He just didn't know if she was a beauty or a villain.
"Are you still lying? I thought my sincerity before would move you, but you still drugged me and even inoculated me with parasites."
"Are you that worried and anxious?"
His hand covered her neck, feeling the pulse of her veins and their softness, but there was no tender affection between them, like that of husband and wife who would be together for a day.
"Given the master's pressure, the green vine must have fallen into his hands long ago."
"If you don't like me, then just kill me. Or do you expect someone who has been reduced to a maid to provide you with benefits beyond physical intimacy?"
"Or perhaps, sir, you wish to learn this insect magic?"
After gazing at each other for a long time, Youlan finally sighed and admitted it. Even her usually tender eyes were now devoid of any affection, only showing a calm indifference.
“I have a better idea. If you have a grudge, I will help you take revenge; if you have a grievance, I can also help you resolve it.”
"Tell me how to gain the trust of your Jiuyue tribe. This is your only chance to live."
He's been pretending for so long and hasn't melted her heart yet. Does he expect time to warm it up? Forget it. He might as well go and seduce a few more demonic witches.
That's all she can do for now.
