Chapter 58 Hmm, do you want to cultivate together?
Fortunately, no one caused any more trouble after that, and the eventful return banquet, which had been full of twists and turns, finally came to a successful conclusion.
However, the online debate continues fiercely, and it seems unlikely that the controversy will subside today.
"Did Shangguan Peiyu try to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice instead?"
"He caused a scene and got himself into trouble. Now, the boss of Hengshi can't keep up that green hat on his head anymore."
"Don't talk nonsense. Without evidence, you might be sued for spreading rumors."
"As far as I know, everything Yu Xiaoluo said is true. Don't let her young age fool you, she's a real big shot."
They wanted to say something more, but the live stream ended because the cameraman working for the internet mogul also had to go home, leaving a bunch of questions unanswered.

When Shangguan Peiyu came out, she was furious. She had come up with the intention of exposing Yu Xiaoluo's practice of raising demons and ghosts to embarrass her, but instead of succeeding, she ended up exposing her own male demon lover.
But how did she know? She didn't understand. Only Ming Jiuyou knew about this.
Could it be that Ming Jiuyou stabbed Yu Xiaoluo?
But that's impossible. If it weren't for Yu Xiaoluo, Ming Jiuyou would never have been reduced to relying on him. They are sworn enemies, so how could he possibly tell her?
Moreover, Ming Jiuyou is still recovering from his injuries and is being fed soul spirits by himself.
Yu Xiaoluo is still searching for his whereabouts. If she finds out where he is, she will definitely not let him go. If they meet, it will be a fight to the death. There will be no calm.
There was no possibility that they would even meet, let alone that Ming Jiuyou would have told Yu Xiaoluo about this.
They can only be enemies, not allies, and there's no need for two big shots to team up against someone as insignificant as himself.
Thinking about it that way, I gave up the idea.
Then, her eyes flashed. Could it be that the two little demon pets overheard something and told Yu Xiaoluo, which is how Yu Xiaoluo guessed it?
Thinking of this, she sighed. It seemed that she couldn't touch the male fox who had captivated her for the foreseeable future.
Let's avoid the limelight for now and proceed with caution.
It's all because of that hateful Yu Xiaoluo. Just thinking about her makes her want to tear her to pieces. And that demon-suppressing cage—she could have used it to raise a few powerful demon pets like Yu Xiaoluo, so she would have more helpers by her side.
She returned to her shop first. The shop was her personal property, and she had trained more than a dozen disciples. So, the shop was usually quite busy, taking on all sorts of jobs such as asking for auspicious days, naming children, fortune telling, and exorcising demons and ghosts.
After all, there are only these three major families in Kham. The others are all small-scale operations, and there are also mobile fortune-telling stalls on the street that are there today but may be gone tomorrow.
Therefore, people who are not in too much financial difficulty still prefer to go to shops, as they have a sense of security.
Just like brand-name products, it comes with after-sales service.
However, at this moment, apart from a few disciples, there were hardly any customers in the shop.
The disciple saw her approach and whispered in her ear, "Master, several guests ran away after hearing some bad news—"
Shangguan Peiyu's face darkened. "What bad news?"
"That's right—" Seeing his disciple's hesitant expression, Shangguan Peiyu's face darkened further, as if a storm was about to break out.
Then her husband called like a nagging ghost; she guessed he knew about what happened today and was there to question her.
She knew that if the call came to her, it would only lead to an argument, so she immediately hung up.
If all else fails, she'll just have to confront him directly. She won't admit to anything about her affair with the vixen. She absolutely cannot admit it, because she knows the consequences, and she's not that foolish.
Now, they have no evidence and can't do anything to her.
However, Shangguan Peiyu never imagined that she would be in such a predicament.
Her eyes flashed with a vicious light: Yu Xiaoluo, you ruined me, and I won't let you have it easy either. It's better to fight to the death!
She turned around and got back into her car, driving to the old villa in her name.
——————
This is the second time Shangguan Peiyu has come here since Ming Jiuyou's visit.
The food was placed at the basement entrance by his trusted disciples. The homeless people and prostitutes he captured were drugged and brought over, then left at the entrance. After Ming Jiuyou absorbed their souls, he made them dispose of the bodies.
She won't show herself to avoid arousing suspicion.
This time, she's going to join forces with Ming Jiuyou to make Yu Xiaoluo pay!
She entered the villa, closed the front door, and went inside. Then she took the elevator to the basement, so no one would suspect anything.
When someone delivers food, they just leave it at the basement entrance from outside, without having to go inside.
When she got to the door, she knocked twice. "It's me. Open the door."
A moment later, the door opened, revealing a handsome man who possessed both feminine and masculine qualities. He had a fair complexion, a high nose, and deep-set eyes, which made Shangguan Peiyu momentarily lose her composure.
Is this handsome and dashing man really the same filthy and smelly Ming Jiuyou? Come to think of it, a man living deep in the mountains and forests is practically a savage; how could he possibly be clean?
The conditions here are so good, just like a hotel, with all the necessities provided, that he feels very comfortable staying here. Moreover, when he's bored, he can browse his phone and learn about some information about this era.
"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that? Is it beautiful?" Ming Jiuyou's peach blossom eyes looked at her with a foxy charm, and surprisingly—there was a sense of familiarity. Ah, it reminded her of her male demon lover.
Shangguan Peiyu realized she had been a bit out of line, and her face flushed slightly. "Um—are you getting used to living here?"
"It's fine, just a bit stuffy, I can't go out. In a few more days, I should be able to go out and move around, and I can also absorb some souls. You don't need to send any more over."
"Well, this place isn't like the deep mountains. If someone dies unexpectedly, the police will investigate. To avoid trouble, it's best to be careful."
"You came today because you missed me?" Ming Jiuyou said with a forced smile.
Shangguan Peiyu said sternly, "I need to improve my strength, I'm not kidding. You promised me, so you have to help me. You're not one to go back on your word, are you?"
"Why don't you reconsider dual cultivation now?" Ming Jiuyou's slightly wicked face moved closer to Shangguan Peiyu, inhaling the feminine fragrance on her body, feeling somewhat intoxicated.
Looking at his face, which was just as alluring as her male fox lover's, Shangguan Peiyu was stirred. For a moment, she felt that the man before her was the male fox demon she hadn't seen for many days and had been longing for.
She couldn't help but cup his face in her hands...
