Stepping into the blacksmith's shop, the sounds of hammering echoed from the depths of the room, while behind the counter sat a middle-aged woman with an ordinary face but shrewd and calculating eyes.
Seeing Shen Yunhao enter, he merely raised his eyelids lazily and asked, "Are you here to buy weapons, sir?"
Shen Yunhao paused for a moment, then smiled slightly: "I've come to buy... candied hawthorn skewers with scorpion tails!"
The woman's eyes changed instantly as she carefully examined Shen Yunhao for a moment. Then, an even more mercenary smile spread across her face: "Oh, distinguished guest! Please come in. There are fine goods in the east wing of the backyard, guaranteed to satisfy you!"
As he spoke, he gestured with his lip toward an inconspicuous little door to the side.
Shen Yunhao nodded and walked straight through the small door into a narrow courtyard.
Several strangely colored vines with a mesmerizing aura were planted in the courtyard.
After passing through the courtyard, the noisy blacksmithing sounds outside could no longer be heard. In front of me was a corridor and several side rooms.
He walked quickly to the door of the east wing and raised his hand to knock.
Squeak—
The door was suddenly pulled open from the inside, and a scent mixed with rich floral fragrance and deadly allure rushed out.
Immediately afterwards, her soft, supple body nestled into his arms like a swallow returning to its nest, her two slender arms tightly wrapped around his neck.
"Honey! I missed you so much!"
A seductive voice rang in his ear, accompanied by warm breath that tickled his neck.
Shen Yunhao subconsciously wrapped his arms around that supple waist, feeling the warm and soft body in his arms, and couldn't help but laugh: "You rascal, are you playing hide-and-seek with me? Setting up so many obstacles?"
Mu Shuang used both hands and feet to cling to Shen Yunhao, looking up at him with a smile, "My husband is so smart, this little design is nothing to him?"
Shen Yunhao wasn't buying it. He reached out and pinched her little nose. "Finally, you're willing to let me know your hideout? Aren't you afraid I'll wipe out your base?"
To his surprise, the girl gave him a flirtatious glare, nuzzled her head against his palm, and said in a soft, kitten-like voice, "As long as my husband is happy, I'll give him whatever he wants!"
"Yeah?"
Before he finished speaking, Shen Yunhao lowered his head and precisely captured those two alluring red lips.
Mu Shuangshuang let out a soft moan, her body instantly going limp as she responded passionately.
Her kiss was aggressive yet filled with a sweet poison, as if it wanted to completely melt Shen Yunhao.
The kiss lasted a long time.
They only managed to separate when they were both out of breath.
Shen Yunhao gazed intently at her flushed face, his tone earnest, "I don't want anything, I just want you, you stupid scorpion..."
The girl's eyes deepened, glistening with tears. "I want...I want a husband so badly..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Yunhao felt a sharp pain in his back, as if he had been pricked by a needle.
Having endured countless needles before, he instantly recognized it as the central, phantom-tail needle, and his expression changed drastically. "Um... um... Shuangshuang... don't rush, let's talk about the main... um..."
The girl's soft lips pressed against mine once again!
Shen Yunhao could clearly feel the venom on the tail needle continuously flowing into his body, and the body in his arms was becoming increasingly hot.
"Mmm...mmm..."
Shen Yunhao struggled a bit... He had been severely abused that morning and rushed over in a panic, without even having time to rest!
"husband……"
The girl's voice kept drawing out, becoming sticky and cloying.
"Nothing... is more important than... the relationship between you and me... If we don't feed it soon... this stupid scorpion will starve to death..."
"Mmm...mmm..."
The door clicked shut, and the strange plants began to emit a faint glow, completely masking the sounds in the room.
Meanwhile, at Qiuye Manor, in the courtyard, Mo Chengxuan picked up his teacup and drank it all in one gulp.
"Alas... those who don't heed the advice of their elders will suffer the consequences!"
...
After an unknown amount of time, Shen Yunhao lay slumped over the bed, his eyes lifeless and his face filled with despair.
Beside him, the girl clung to his arm, curled up in a ball, and her playful silver tail hook was still scratching Shen Yunhao's back.
However, the silver sheen on it was somewhat dim. If Mo Yan were still awake, she would definitely be able to tell that... this was a sign that the venom had been drained.
All the venom I'd been saving up for so long was completely wiped out this time.
"No wonder you were half-hearted, it turns out you'd already been taken advantage of..." Mu Shuangshuang raised her head with a smile, her tone not angry, but filled with schadenfreude.
"But does this mean I've also got a handle on that brat? So... the famous Ice Fairy is secretly a woman who can torment her husband all night... ugh..."
He was only halfway through his sentence when Shen Yunhao covered his mouth.
"Okay! Stop talking, I want to be alone!"
"puff!"
The girl finally couldn't help but laugh out loud, and quickly snuggled up to press Shen Yunhao's head into her arms, "Okay, pat pat, don't cry, don't cry, let's both pamper our husband..."
Finally finding a soft spot to lean on, Shen Yunhao let out a long sigh of relief. "It's all karma... By the way, why did you call me over so urgently? Did something happen?"
"Can't I just be thinking about my husband?"
Shen Yunhao slapped her lightly, "If you really miss me, there's no need to risk sending Mo Chengxuan to Shuangfeng Courtyard to deliver the message. You only need to prepare this 'scorpion tail candied hawthorn' later. After all... I can't stay at the manor forever, and a spy in the Fengyun Record is too valuable and too important!"
"Ah! As expected of my husband! This silly scorpion really has no secrets left in front of him... However..." Mu Shuangshuang's lips curled up, "There's one thing my husband is wrong about. If we're really talking about value, ten Xiao Mos aren't worth a single hair of yours..."
"..."
"Ahem... Of course, I don't mean to belittle Xiao Mo. Just analyzing it objectively, when my husband reaches Xiao Mo's age, he will definitely have a place in the Record of Heroes, and his cultivation and ranking will definitely be higher than his! Thinking about it this way, isn't investing in my husband more cost-effective? We can even use him to warm the bed when we have nothing else to do..."
Shen Yunhao sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation.
As expected of the Demonic Sect, indeed... everything is inseparable from scheming?
"Alright, alright, stop joking around, let's get down to business! It concerns my husband's safety, I had no choice but to send Xiao Mo to deliver the message..." At this point, Mu Shuangshuang also dropped her joking expression, her tone becoming serious, "My people discovered people from Baihe Temple in the city, and they have been in contact with... people from Xuanhuang Sect!"
"White Crane Temple? Xuanhuang Gate?"
At first, I didn't think much of it, but upon closer reflection, I suddenly became alarmed.
These two sects... seem to have some grudge against him!
