Chapter 67 Patch Was Applied Wrong
On the forty-eighth day, Han Xiaoliu returned home as promised.
As soon as I pushed open the courtyard gate, I sensed something was wrong—everyone inside looked at me with complicated expressions, like a jumble of mixed feelings.
Han Li and Hong Fu sat in the main seats, one with his eyes closed to rest, the other sipping spiritual tea, their expressions indifferent, as if the turmoil before them had nothing to do with them.
Dong Xuan'er stood in the hall, her cheeks slightly puffed out, her almond-shaped eyes wide open, staring intently at him, looking like a little fox whose tail had been stepped on.
Han Xiaoliu's heart skipped a beat, and he knew something was wrong.
He subtly and quickly scanned the entire room, his gaze finally settling on Long Kui—the girl was huddled behind Dong Xuan'er, peeking out half her face, winking at him, her expression clearly saying, "Young Master, you're doomed!"
But strangely, there was not a trace of guilt in her eyes; instead, there was a hint of schadenfreude.
Han Xiaoliu's eyes widened instantly, his gaze sharp as a knife.
Longkui shuddered in fright and immediately shrank back behind Dong Xuan'er, only revealing her eyes.
"What are you glaring at me for!" Dong Xuan'er shielded Long Kui behind her, pointing angrily at Han Xiaoliu. "You dare to do it but don't dare to admit it? Humph! I know everything! You actually went to a brothel and drank and listened to music with those courtesans! You shameless!"
"I was..." Han Xiaoliu was about to explain—
"Alright!" Hong Fu put down her teacup, her tone calm but unquestionable. "These private matters should be resolved behind closed doors. The important thing right now is business."
With a flick of her sleeve, a flash of spiritual light appeared, and nine figures materialized out of thin air—the very spirit pets they had captured during this Spirit Summoning Kindergarten event.
Two pairs of wild boars (one ordinary, one colorful), a sea turtle, a sea caterpillar, a tiger, a goat-headed monster, and a flower fairy stood in a neat row.
"Nine in total," Hong Fu said calmly. "We caught two pairs of wild boars. I plan to take the colorful pair to Song Meng and Wei Niang—they can help them with their cultivation and also help them get in here. What about the rest?"
Han Xiaoliu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took over the conversation, smoothly changing the subject: "These are mostly support-type summoned spirits, with average combat power, but each has its own unique uses."
He pointed at the wild boar and said, "Wild boars possess the 'returning the favor' ability, which can extract pure spiritual energy to help their owners break through bottlenecks. It is especially suitable for people who are stuck at a bottleneck. I suggest that everyone take one."
He then pointed to the sea turtle and the sea caterpillar: "These two can learn 'escape techniques' after they grow up, and can be used as mounts, which are good for transportation or escaping."
Finally, he looked at the majestic, striped tiger and smiled slightly: "This tiger possesses the 'Ghost Control Divine Power,' capable of intimidating spirits and commanding ghosts in battle, making it perfect for underworld sects to perform meritorious deeds. Xuan'er, it's yours."
Dong Xuan'er was still angry, but upon hearing Han Xiaoliu's gentle tone, her eyes visibly wavered, though she remained defiant: "Hmph! No matter how nice you are, I won't let you off the hook."
"Don't listen to that little girl's nonsense, they don't understand anything! I'll explain it to you!"
Dong Xuan'er turned her head away from him. She didn't believe Han Xiaoliu's nonsense. This guy had lied to her before!
As for the goat-headed monster and the flower fairy, Han Xiaoliu continued, "These two are the most practical—they can tend to the spirit fields, feed the demon beasts, accelerate the growth of spirit herbs, and even clean the cave. There will still be a need for them in the future, so I suggest keeping two at home."
Han Li replied, "There are plenty of low-level demonic beasts and spiritual herbs here. The resources we've gathered over this period are enough for us to use for the next few years. Spending time cultivating two weak summoned spirits would be a waste of our time! We can consider it again once we have a permanent place to live and have established our own spirit fields and beast garden!"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Once the agreement was reached, Hong Fu took the colorful wild boar, Han Li chose an ordinary wild boar, and the others each claimed the summoning spirits they needed.
Everything is done
Dong Xuan'er grabbed Han Xiaoliu's sleeve and said irritably, "You, come inside with me! We haven't settled the score yet!"
"Wait, I really didn't go to a brothel! I went there to make a deal! They insisted on dancing in front of me..."
"Shut up! Let's go inside and talk!"
Before he could finish speaking, the door slammed shut, leaving everyone in the courtyard staring at each other in bewilderment.
Longkui peeked out and whispered, "Will the young master get beaten up?"
Hong Fu slowly took a sip of tea: "Don't worry, he's thick-skinned."
Han Li chuckled: "Besides... he deserved it."
A few days ago, Dong Xuan'er suddenly developed a strong interest in Han Xiaoliu's past.
She sat upright on the embroidered couch, one hand supporting her chin, her eyes sparkling. She summoned her personal maid, Yu Niangzi, along with Long Kui, Xiao Naiqi, and others, and began an in-depth interrogation of the "Young Master's Growth History."
Was he mischievous as a child? Did he cry a lot? Did he ever sneak out to play?
"Have you ever had a girl you liked since you grew up? Have you ever argued with anyone over her?"
"What do you usually like to eat? What color clothes do you wear? Do you snore at night?"
The questions were as trivial as hairs on a cow, yet each one carried the unique jealousy and curiosity of the young mistress.
As a seasoned servant, Lady Yu knew her mistress's thoughts well and immediately activated her "perfect persona" mode—
"Young Master was intelligent and composed from a young age. He could cultivate at the age of three and began body tempering at the age of five. He never caused trouble. As he grew up, he became even more virtuous and devoted to the Dao. He even dared to lower his eyes and bow when looking at female cultivators..."
Those youthful, reckless acts, such as peeking at beautiful women's breasts or following pretty women?
Not a single word was mentioned.
Dong Xuan'er listened with a smile, nodding repeatedly, "He really is my husband!"
Overjoyed, he gifted her a complete set of Moonlight Radiance Hairpins, Cloud Brocade Robes, and ten mid-grade spirit stones.
When it was Longkui's turn, this young girl, despite her young age, displayed remarkable "professionalism."
When asked about the young master's embarrassing moments, she immediately puffed out her chest and said without batting an eye, "The young master is the most upright! Last time, a female cultivator tried to seduce him, and he scolded her until she cried!"
"Really?" Dong Xuan'er exclaimed in surprise.
"Absolutely true!" Longkui patted her chest. "I saw it with my own eyes!"
Dong Xuan'er was overjoyed and showered him with another generous reward.
Longkui held the magical artifact, pills, and new dress, smiling so broadly her eyes disappeared.
But this scene brought tears to the eyes of the little girl standing to the side.
She stared longingly at the mountain of gifts piled up in Longkui's arms, while she herself had nothing, not even a single candy.
That feeling of grievance was even more unbearable than having her wooden sword taken away.
Just then, Dong Xuan'er casually asked, "So, do you know... what Xiao Liu likes the most right now?"
The words had barely left her lips when Lu Xueqi—that innocent and naive little maidservant—suddenly raised her hand and said crisply:
"I know! Young Master likes women with big breasts! He also loves listening to folk songs and often goes to Miaoyin Pavilion for drinks! Sister Xiaohe says the women there have such captivating eyes when they dance!"
The room was completely silent.
Yu Niangzi's vision went black, and she silently closed her eyes, lamenting in her heart: Young Master, this servant cannot save you...
Long Kui covered Lu Xueqi's mouth with her hand, her eyes filled with shock that said, "You're so brave!" Her nails were almost digging into Lu Xueqi's arm.
Dong Xuan'er's smile slowly froze, her eyes darkened, but her tone became increasingly gentle: "Oh?... Well said. Tell me in detail—tell me more precisely, and I will reward you with a Dreamlike Rainbow Dress."
Lu Xueqi had no idea of the wickedness of human nature.
Upon hearing about pretty dresses, she immediately perked up, her mouth agape like a gushing spring:
"And that's not all! Young Master even wrote a poem praising someone! Something like, 'Cherry lips like Fan Su's, willow waist like a slender willow.' How impressive!"
"He also complimented a woman in a red dress who had a slim waist, long legs, and a voice as sweet as honey!"
"He also..."
"Enough! Stop talking!" Dong Xuan'er stood up abruptly, her body radiating coldness, her eyes filled with murderous intent.
Yu Niangzi's heart pounded like a drum, and she wished she could rush over and sew Lu Xueqi's mouth shut.
……
That night, Han Xiaoliu was pulled into the room by Dong Xuan'er, where he saw Dong Xuan'er sitting in front of the mirror, playing with a gleaming dagger in her hand.
"I heard you really like Miaoyin Pavilion?" she asked softly, her voice rising slightly at the end.
"Just friends!" Han Xiaoliu was sweating profusely.
"Oh? What about those with big breasts?"
"You know what I mean! That's my taste! I just love your figure!"
Dong Xuan'er sneered and gently pressed the dagger against his Adam's apple.
Han Xiaoliu gritted her teeth and went all out: "If you don't believe me... I can prove it to you! My virginity hasn't been depleted, and I'm still a virgin! That can't be faked, can it?"
In the end, lies can only be covered up by "chastity".
To quell the uproar of jealousy sparked by a child's remark, Han Xiaoliu had no choice but to let Dong Xuan'er "deal with" him.
The next day, Han Xiaoliu could only support his waist with one hand and the wall with the other, walking out of the room with shaky steps.
And Lu Xueqi?
The next day, Lady Yu arranged for him to start practicing the Elephant Armor Technique—euphemistically called "tempering the body."
