The Heavens Begin with Dream of the Red Chamber

Chapter 96: Brother Bao's Envy
"Your Majesty, I, Qi Yun, kowtow to you."

The confident Minister Qi strode into the imperial study, knelt down and kowtowed.

"My dear minister, please stand up and take a seat."

Minister Qi thanked him and stood up, sitting on the soft stool with half of his buttocks tilted. He glanced up and saw that the emperor was smiling and seemed to be in a good mood. He only asked lightly:
"What is the matter with you, Lord Qi, entering the palace to see me?"

Qi Yun stood up again and knelt on the ground, asking for forgiveness:
"I heard that Zhan Niansi actually refused the imperial edict, so I came here to apologize."

"Qi Aiqing, please stand up quickly. It was Zhan Niansi who refused to accept the order. What does it have to do with you?"

Minister Qi refused to stand up and only attacked:
"Your Majesty, Zhan Niansi is just a businessman. I saw that he had made great contributions by presenting the map, so I rashly asked Your Majesty to grant him an official position before I conducted a thorough investigation of his character."

"This move is already an exception and breaks the court's rules. In addition, this person is arrogant and ungrateful to your majesty's kindness. Now he dares to disobey your majesty's order, which greatly damages your majesty's reputation."

"I feel that I made a mistake in recommending you, so I come here to apologize."

Among the three perspectives of the Guochao Dynasty, character is the most important, and ability is second. Therefore, what civil servants like most is to attack others' misconduct.

Historical experience has also proven that once a lawsuit is filed, it is always successful, and there is basically no chance for rebuttal.

However, this time, Minister Qi and his men miscalculated. He only heard sounds of surprise coming from behind the imperial desk.

"What are you talking about, my dear?"

"Zhan Niansi's disobedience was not outrageous, but he was kind-hearted and didn't want to take credit for others' achievements."

Ok?
Minister Qi was stunned for a moment, raised his head and looked at the emperor above, only to see that the emperor was pleased and smiled as he said:
"Lord Zhan admitted that this furnace was not his own achievement, but the result of the joint efforts of many managers and craftsmen. At most, he only had some leadership achievements, so he did not dare to claim it alone."

"Shouzhong brought back a list of names of craftsmen who had made contributions."

"Lord Zhan is willing to give up his position as the head of the Ministry of Works and remain a commoner, but he is willing to share the credit with many managers and craftsmen to show the grace of the court."

"To take credit without being greedy, to have talent without being arrogant, this kind of character can be called honest!"

After hearing this, Minister Qi subconsciously looked up at Xia Shouzhong behind the emperor. Sure enough, he saw that the dog eunuch was looking at him with a smile on his lips, his eyes full of sarcasm.

Minister Qi gritted his teeth secretly, knowing that his original words would no longer work, so he had to temporarily suspend his attack on Zhan Niansi, and wait until he was under his command before slowly dealing with him, and then he changed the subject:
"In this case, Zhan Niansi's official position can be demoted to a lower rank and he can be appointed to the position that he is supposed to be in."

"As for these craftsmen, we should reward them with some silver and employ them as minor officials in the Foundry Bureau of the Ministry of Industry."

Unexpectedly, the emperor shook his head and said:

"Since Lord Zhan has decided to promote his style, I am willing to help him."

"I intend to reward each of these ten or so managers and craftsmen with a small official position, and let them serve as the chief or deputy envoy in the Ministry of Works, specializing in the construction and production of this new furnace."

When Minister Qi heard this, he panicked. He didn't want his territory to be invaded.

Even though they are just some chief and deputy envoys, and are only at the ninth rank and the ninth rank, they are still officials!

Even a small official is still an official, not a clerk. This is a qualitative difference!
Most of the craftsmen in the Ministry of Works were just clerks and were not qualified to become deputy envoys of the ninth rank.

If so many foreign petty officials came at once, the craftsmen would not be able to accept them and would most likely start to cheat and be cunning. By then, the entire Ministry of Works might be paralyzed.

He quickly opened his mouth to stop her:

"Your Majesty, this is inappropriate!"

"There are rules in the court. Each department under the Ministry of Industry is only equipped with one ambassador and two deputy ambassadors. How can we accept so many deputy ambassadors?"

"Besides, this imperial reward is not privately owned, so how can it be exchanged like this?"

"In my opinion, Your Majesty should give generous rewards to those who have made the greatest contributions, and reward the rest with silver."

"As for the construction and production of this new furnace, there is no need for special craftsmen to be responsible for it. The Ministry of Industry already has the manpower, so there is no need to add additional ones."

The current emperor was not very clear about the affairs of low-level officials. After hearing what he said, he gave up his previous idea.

"In that case, Shouzhong, send someone to ask Lord Zhan to report two names. I will reward them with two honorary titles of the eighth and ninth ranks, and the rest will only be rewarded with silver."

Then he said to the Minister of Qi:

"Qi Aiqing, please go back first and have the cabinet seal the imperial edict back. I will notify you of the specific rewards later."

Minister Qi had no choice but to take his leave and go back to the cabinet to complain.

In the imperial study, after Minister Qi left, Xia Shouzhong said:

"Your Majesty has also seen that Minister Qi does not want outsiders to interfere in the iron casting affairs of the Ministry of Handicrafts. If he really deliberately suppresses this new technology, I am afraid it will not be a blessing for the court!"

It turned out that after he returned to the palace, he reported all of Zhan Ershi's speculations to the emperor, and gave Minister Qi a lot of praise. He also suggested using the Embroidered Uniform Guards to monitor Minister Qi.

However, the emperor was not one who would listen to one side of the story. He was hesitant and had not agreed.

Now he was as silent as water, and said nothing for a while, then he said:
"Just let Jinyi focus on that. Don't worry about anything else. Just focus on the casting of the new furnace."

Xia Shouzhong smiled and bowed to accept the task, and then said:
"I think Zhan Nian Si's character is not suitable for being an official. Rather than entering the officialdom and being corrupted, it is better to let him continue to be loyal to the king."

"Or, Your Majesty, just give him a royal status and let him serve under me!"

The emperor frowned and shook his head when he heard this.
"Your Excellency Zhan has great talent, but it's a waste to make a brocade robe."

Xia Shouzhong sighed and said:
"It's a pity that he didn't come from an imperial examination background. Even if Your Majesty wanted to promote him, he wouldn't be able to reach a high position as a civil servant."

"But in this officialdom, a higher-ranking official can crush a person to death."

"If he becomes a civil servant, no matter what he wants to do, it may not be as easy as it is now. It would be better for him to come to this old slave!"

"At least if he wants to do something for Your Majesty, I will only support him and not oppose him."

After the emperor's eyes flickered a few times, he suddenly said:
"It is true that he cannot be a civil official, but it is also inappropriate to let him be a military commander. So let's grant him a title!"

According to the rules of the imperial court, originally one could only be awarded a title based on military merit. However, as peace lasted for a long time, military merit became increasingly rare, and gradually military merit was rewarded with high titles such as earl, viscount, and baron. However, low titles such as general became rewards for merit, or used by royal relatives and descendants of meritorious nobles to raise their status. They had no authority and were purely honorary titles.

Without a real job or connections in the court, this title is meaningless.

So after hearing this, Xia Shouzhong felt a little sorry for the money given by Master Zhan, so he said hesitantly:

"Well...how about...let him take on a part-time job in the Beijing camp?"

The emperor shook his head and said:

"A low-level military assignment is meaningless, and a high-level one is inconvenient to give him, lest he be feared by the other side."

When Xia Shouzhong heard this, he immediately thought of Tai Shang, and he was startled. He quickly lowered his head and stopped talking.

It's okay to say a few good words for Zhan Ershisi, but if it gets your own family involved, it won't be worth it.

Just listen to the emperor say again:

"His achievements are only rewarded with a first-class general or something, which is not of much value. I plan to directly confer him the title of Viscount."

"If you count it this way, even if I don't have any duties, it's still heavy enough."

Upon hearing this, Xia Shouzhong bowed and agreed:
"This is too valuable!"

"Even if the inheritance is downgraded, this viscount can be passed down for four generations. If Zhan Nian Si still dares to disobey the order, he will be guilty of an unforgivable crime!"

So the reward was finalized and would be issued once Zhan Ershisi reported two more people.

This time, Xia Shouzhong asked someone to privately inform Zhan Ershisi of the news in advance.

Zhan Ershisi originally planned to get an official position like a military general, then blend his own escort company into it and borrow the power of the court to train his soldiers, but in the end he only got a title without real power.

Tsk!
It's useless!
This viscount is not a bad person, anyone would like him very much. After all, a stable job that can be passed down for four generations is something that any normal family would have to burn incense to thank their ancestors for.

But Zhan Ershisi is a more realistic person. Compared with these empty things, he cares more about the real power that he can control in his hands, such as the army, army, army... and so on.

He smacked his lips, wanting Xia Shouzhong to help him get another one, but he didn't want to make his intention clear, otherwise he would only end up making things worse.

Fine!

Let him be Viscount, there is still a long way to go!
Zhan Ershisi rewarded the eunuch who brought the message and asked him to reply, thank Eunuch Xia and ask him to help him accomplish the task.

As for the two honorary titles that the emperor wanted to award, he thought carefully. It would not be appropriate to give them to any of the dozen craftsmen. It would be bad to favor some over others, so...

It’s Xing Zhong and Zhao Guoji!

Originally, he didn't want to be the head of the Ministry of Works, so he thought of doing a favor and letting the craftsmen receive the reward, and getting a few minor officials in the Ministry of Works, which would be considered as his own network.

Unexpectedly, the court looked down on craftsmen and refused to reward them with official positions, and only allowed him to recommend two people to take up sinecure positions.

If it was a real job in the Ministry of Industry, he would not dare to do this. What if he ended up not knowing how to do anything in the Ministry of Industry, wouldn't that be embarrassing for himself?

But since only two honorary titles are awarded now, the benefits will not be wasted on outsiders!

Xia Shouzhong was in charge of the Jinyi Tiqi, so of course he knew what kind of people these two were and what their relationship was with Zhan Niansi, but he didn't care about these things. Or rather, it would be better if Zhan Niansi had some selfish motives.

Everyone has some little handles on each other, so they can get along better with each other in the future.

If there is someone in the officialdom who is really like a saint, then everyone will feel uneasy.

There was no need to alert the emperor for such a minor official with an honorary title. Xia Shouzhong simply filled in the name and submitted the draft edict to the cabinet, asking the cabinet to go through the process of transmitting the edict.

When the imperial edict reached the cabinet, it caused quite a stir.

The titles awarded for merit have always been low-level titles such as general, but this time the emperor actually awarded him the title of viscount, which was a serious violation of the court's laws.

Immediately, the upright minister slammed the table and stood up, wanting to go to the emperor to persuade him, but he was stopped by the people around him.

After some discussion, the cabinet approved it.

Because the struggle between civil and military officials is now very obvious, it is certainly not good to award titles indiscriminately, but the more titles are rampant, the less valuable military generals will be. The Prime Minister would like to see the streets full of dukes!

There are only individuals who betray their class; there is no class that betrays its class.

Even though there were cabinet ministers who opposed the indiscriminate awarding of titles, with the civil service as a whole fanning the flames, the power of an individual was insignificant and they could not compete with the crowd.

So the cabinet symbolically protested to the emperor, and with the emperor's insistence, the imperial edict was smoothly passed.

Let’s not talk about what’s happening here, let’s just talk about Zhan 24.

The emperor came to convey his imperial edict. This was a very big event. A group of people gathered around the Zhan Mansion to watch.

He rejected the emperor's edict. Although the people around him did not know the exact situation, they all knew the result, which immediately caused a sensation.

People spread the news from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and soon the news spread throughout the capital.

Everyone knows that the big fool Mr. Zhan, who voluntarily paid taxes, provided food and lodging to the embroiderer with high salaries, and allowed the people to go to the Jockey Club for free, has done something stupid again!

He actually refused the position of Director of the Ministry of Works bestowed by the Emperor!
That’s a sixth-rank official position!

Or an official position in one of the six ministries!
Everyone in the capital knew about it, and naturally the Jia family knew about it too.

Different people naturally have different views on this.

Those who were close to the Zhan family all beat their chests and stamped their feet, feeling extremely regretful. They wished they could find Zhan Ershisi immediately, press his head down, make him go to the palace to plead guilty, and get his official position back.

This is especially true for Master She.

"Shuzi!"

"You are so ignorant!"

"That's a sixth-rank official in the Ministry of Works. The second brother has been busy for half his life, and he is only a fifth-rank official by relying on the power of his family!"

"What an ignorant businessman!"

"If you miss this opportunity, you won't be able to get it again. Next time you want to be granted a title by the imperial court, you may have to wait a long time before you have the chance!"

Mr. She coveted the position of head of the Ministry of Works, but Mrs. Xing coveted the imperial edict of the sixth-rank Anren.

"Of course not. If Master Zhan accepts this decree, and waits for Ying to marry him, she will be the Anren!"

"Alas, Ying girl doesn't have that fate!" When Jia Zheng received the news, he was teaching his son Baoyu a lesson.

Ever since his relationship with Daiyu was exposed in public that day, Baoyu has been going there frequently.

Jia Zheng and his wife did not think that Daiyu was a good match for him, but they could not get angry because of the old lady's words, so they found an excuse that Baoyu was tired of studying and brought him back to scold him.

After hearing the news from his servants, Jia Zheng was indignant at the court's excessive rewards for a while, and then he said:

"Fortunately, Zhan Niansi has self-awareness and doesn't dare to accept the assignment rashly. Otherwise, with his unlearned and unskilled character, I'm afraid that after arriving at the ministry, his true colors will be exposed in a few days and he will be completely disgraced."

After that, he taught his son:

"Evil son!"

"If you don't study hard and just roll around among the flowers every day, I'm afraid you will become another Zhan Nian's heir in the future!"

"From today on, you must study hard at home. You are not allowed to run around, harass Miss Lin again, or hang out with people like Zhan Niansi!"

Baoyu was scolded by his father and he dared not to talk back. He just lowered his head and looked at his toes, but secretly curled his lips. He didn't know how much he envied Zhan Niansi in his heart.

Brother Zhan remained unshakable in the face of the imperial edict to bestow an official title, and he disobeyed the order and resolutely refused to become an official. What kind of courage does he have?

He also wanted to do so, but he didn't dare. Even if he really encountered such a situation, he would most likely obey the order obediently. It was not because he was afraid of the emperor, but because he was afraid of being beaten by his own father!
Thinking about what Brother Zhan is doing now and remembering what Brother Zhan had said to him before, Baoyu now believes more and more in Brother Zhan's character and ability.

In order to preserve the spiritual brilliance of these many girls, Brother Zhan did not hesitate to throw himself into this dirty world, covered in dirt. He is truly a saint-like figure. No wonder he can nourish girls and make dead pearls shine with the brilliance of gems again.

Then he thought of his widowed sister-in-law whose eyes had almost turned into those of a dead fish, and Lin Daiyu, who might also turn into a dead pearl after marrying a termite like him in the future. The thought came to his mind again.

Would you like to ask Brother Zhan to help nourish them?
Master Zhan doesn't know that Brother Bao is trying hard to help him expand his harem and is busy coaxing his many concubines.

"Master, please think about it more before you make a decision next time."

Xiu Yan was sobbing there, and her second sister was sitting beside her, looking terrified. Only Xiang Ling had a confused and naive look on her face, sitting in her master's arms, looking like an ignorant and fearless person.

"I am not coveting the sixth-rank official position, but now that the imperial decree has been issued, how can the master disobey it?"

"Disobeying the Emperor's order is a serious crime. It might anger the Emperor and he might punish me."

"There are at least a hundred people in our family now. If something happens to you, how will we live?"

Master Zhan gently let go of Xiangling, patted her butt, motioned for her to sit over, then reached out and hugged Xiuyan into his arms, comforting her:
"Good Xiuyan, I, the master, have carefully considered what I am doing."

"You don't have to worry. I have made so many contributions to His Majesty. How could you punish me for such a small matter?"

They were an old married couple and were very familiar with each other's weak points. In the past, Master Zhan only needed to press Xiu Yan's magic hand to make her feel weak all over. But this method didn't work now. Xiu Yan sobbed and pushed Master Zhan's magic hand away, shaking her head and saying:

"Master, you are a man of great ability, but since ancient times, serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. Who can tell when His Majesty will get angry?"

"I haven't read many books, but I don't know how many loyal ministers and generals were harmed by treacherous officials for no apparent reason in those stories."

"Even though the master has done a lot of good deeds, how can we know that he might have offended that treacherous villain?"

"Does a treacherous villain need a reason to harm others?"

Master Zhan continued to pester her, grinning and saying:
"Xiu Yan, when did you develop the illusion that the master was a good person?"

"Is there a possibility that I am actually the treacherous villain?"

Xiu Yan's crying stopped for a moment, and then she said angrily:
"Master is talking nonsense again. Who would say that their family is treacherous?"

Mr. Zhan smiled and said:

"Those who survive to the end are loyal ministers, and those who die on the way are treacherous and treacherous."

"Forget it, since everyone is so worried, I will give you some reassurance."

Master Zhan waved his hand and drove the maids and servants out, leaving only a few concubines and personal maids around him, then smiled and said:
"Xiu Yan, you are the last one to come to the mansion, but you don't know my identity... Well, it seems that the second sister doesn't know either. Only Xiang Ling, who came first, knows."

Mr. Zhan considered it for a while and decided to hide his real identity as a bandit and only reveal his fake identity as a Jinyi Tiqi to reassure them, so he repeated the words he used to coax them that day.

After listening to the story made up by Master Zhan, Xiuyan and the second sister finally woke up from their dream and shouted:

"No wonder we were all worried that the Master would be punished by His Majesty for disobeying His Majesty's order, but Sister Xiangling was not worried at all. It turns out that she knew this all along!"

"Eh? Is that so?"

Xiangling rubbed her head innocently and said with a wry smile:

"Actually, I didn't think that much. I just felt that since the master did this, there must be a reason for doing so."

Xiu Yan had always known that her sister was a simple person, so she ignored her and just lowered her head to think about it carefully, which made her even more worried.

"Since the master is a close confidant of His Majesty, he relies on His Majesty's favor. Now that he is disobeying His Majesty's order, isn't he just taking advantage of His Majesty's favor and becoming arrogant?"

"If Your Majesty gets angry about this, I'm afraid disaster is imminent!"

"Master, please don't blame me for being nosy, but for the sake of our family, I have no choice but to speak out."

"If you are angry, Master, I will accept any punishment you give me. Please consider my words seriously."

Master Zhan lowered his head and kissed Xiu Yan fiercely, then said with a grin:
"Xiu Yan is willing to think so much about the master. The master is so happy that he can't bear to punish you."

"But you are wrong. This imperial edict does not come from His Majesty, but from the cabinet. That is why I am disobeying it."

"Cabinet?" Xiu Yan had no idea what this meant. She was just curious and asked, "Doesn't the Cabinet also have to listen to the Emperor?"

Master Zhan briefly explained the difference between the two, leaving Xiuyan and the other girls confused and half-understanding. Seeing this, Master Zhan gave up explaining and just said:
"You just need to know that the emperor and the civil servants are not completely in the same group. Your master only listens to the emperor and not the civil servants."

After the girls got the simplified answer, they gave up trying to get to the bottom of it and reluctantly believed it.

Master Zhan saw that many people still had frowns on their faces, and it was obvious that they still had hidden worries in their hearts, so he sighed:

"Forget it. I was originally planning to get along with you as a mortal. Since you are always worried about this and that, I won't pretend anymore!"

"I'm going to reveal my true colors. I'm actually an immortal from heaven!"

After hearing what Master Zhan said, the girls were stunned at first, and then they all laughed, holding their stomachs.

"Master, if you were an immortal descending to earth, you would definitely be a lustful immortal."

Seeing Xiuyan's eyes rolling and giggling, Master Zhan kissed her again, then reached out and took a pair of scissors from the table, handed them to Xiuyan, and said with a smile:
"Come on, Xiuyan, use your strength to bend these scissors."

Xiu Yan took the scissors, looking hesitant. Seeing that the people around her didn't dare to make a move, Master Zhan smiled and said:
"Just try your best to break it."

Xiu Yan hesitated for a moment, then remembered what her master had just said, and suddenly she seemed to understand something. She grasped the scissors and gently applied force, and the scissors twisted into a twist.

Ever since the Zhan family was able to produce their own steel, although they have never sold ironware on a large scale due to environmental factors, many items in the home have been replaced with steel ones.

This pair of scissors is no exception. It is made of pure steel. In addition to the extremely sharp blade, the scissors themselves are also extremely tough.

But in the hands of Xiu Yan, a weak woman, the scissors were like clay sculptures and were easily twisted.

Master Zhan reached out to take back the twisted scissors, handed them to Xiangling beside him, and said with a smile:
"Xiangling, try it too."

Xiangling listened to her master the most and didn't think much about it. When her master told her to try, she tried it, and then she saw that the scissors were bent even more severely.

Next, it was You Erjie's turn. It was still the same. Xiu Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief. She patted her chest with lingering fear and said in fear:

"It's okay, it's okay. Everyone has become so strong. I was always worried that I might have turned into a monster, but I didn't dare to tell anyone."

Mr. Zhan smiled and said:

"Don't worry, Xiuyan. You all didn't turn into monsters. This is all thanks to me, your master."

"I, your master, am a star from heaven who has descended to earth, and I carry with me the aura of an immortal."

"You are nourished by my immortal spirit, so you will naturally be able to stay young forever, free from disease and disaster. Moreover, as the immortal spirit cleanses you, you are gradually shedding your mortal bodies and transforming into immortal bodies. That's why you are becoming more and more powerful, and you can even twist steel into a dough twist."

"If the master hadn't found you many sisters to share the burden, I'm afraid you would have become extremely powerful long ago."

"My physical fitness has increased too quickly, and it's hard for me to adapt to the strength in my hands. If I'm not careful, I might end up in a murder case, which would be bad."

The girls suddenly realized what was going on and said:

"It turns out that the master is not lustful, it's just because the sisters can't bear it physically!"

"Then we have to find more beautiful sisters for the master in the future, and everyone has to take turns to share the burden, so as not to waste the master's fairy spirit."

Mr. Zhan was very satisfied with his own nonsense excuse, so he smiled and said:
"Now do you understand?"

"I, your master, don't care about the wealth and honor of this mortal world. It's just a part of your training. I will definitely take you back to the fairyland in the future."

"If the emperor knows what's going on, I'll give him some benefits."

"If he doesn't know what's going on and wants to confiscate my property and exterminate my clan, then I will let him know the difference between immortals and mortals!"

After hearing his domineering speech, the women immediately exclaimed in surprise, and at the same time put their hearts back into their stomachs. They all stared at their master with burning eyes, and began to think about the fairy spirit, thinking about eating more in the evening.

Master Zhan was hugging women on both sides, proudly enjoying the admiring gazes of the women, but Xiu Yan next to him suddenly asked:
"Since the master's immortal spirit is so effective, why hasn't Sister Baochai's illness been cured?"

"Ahem..." Master Zhan coughed twice awkwardly, "Of course it's because Master hasn't swallowed Baochai yet."

"Hmm?" Xiangling, who was standing next to him, turned her head curiously and asked, "Then the master often stays overnight at Rongguo Mansion. Who is he having an affair with?"

"Of course, it's with Hongye and the others. After all, they are not with me. I can't be partial to one and neglect the other. I have to treat them equally!"

"Oh, so that's how it is." Xiangling acted as if she was suddenly enlightened, not knowing whether she really believed it or not.

Xiu Yan next to him suddenly asked again:

"If that's the case, then Sister Baochai will definitely not die in the future. Then, isn't the fight between the three ladies of the Jia family for a husband a fake from the beginning?"

"Uh..." Master Zhan was somewhat speechless after being asked. Fortunately, his second sister was beside him. She pulled Xiu Yan over and snickered:
"Could it be that my sister just found out about this?"

"Our master is a sex-hungry ghost. My family has been completely conquered. How can the Jia family escape?"

Xiuyan glanced at Xiangling who was standing next to her and saw that Xiangling was also smiling awkwardly, so she shouted angrily:
"You all knew it a long time ago, but you kept it from me alone. So I am the outsider in this mansion!"

Mr. Zhan hurried forward and hugged her to comfort her.

"Good Xiuyan, it's all my fault. I forgot to tell you about these things."

"Look, the master has revealed his immortal identity to you. It's obvious that he doesn't regard you as an outsider. Let's practice and become immortals together in the future. Let's fly together!"

After hearing Duofei's words, Xiu Yan blushed and spat at her lecherous master. The injustice and fear in her heart disappeared. Instead, she thought of her master's dual identities. She felt that the best thing her parents had ever done in their lives was to marry her into the Zhan family as a concubine.

Mr. Zhan was afraid that someone would ask some embarrassing questions again, so he picked up Xiu Yan and walked into the inner room.

Now that the girls knew the benefits of this "fairy spirit", they were unwilling to miss it, so they surrounded their aunts and rushed into the room, determined to share the benefits.

Master Zhan entered the room, threw Xiu Yan onto the bed with both hands, then with a hideous grin, he tore off her clothes and pounced on her.

"what……"

Xiu Yan screamed and rolled on the bed. Somehow, the clothes fell onto the bed and spread everywhere.

"Haha... I can do that, too!"

Master Zhan sneered, and his body shook, then he was naked, flexing his strong muscles and releasing hormones indiscriminately.

When the female wolves that came in later saw this, their eyes suddenly turned green. They howled like wolves and pounced on him in a group, wanting to eat Tang Monk's flesh.

Master Zhan accepted all comers and used the Nan Dou Water Bird Fist in his hand. With a few "swish" moves, he tore the troublesome cloth into pieces. Then he started a close combat.

The wolves had sharp claws and fangs, and they kept biting Master Zhan, leaving bright peach blossom-like marks on his neck, chest and abdomen.

Of course, Master Zhan was not polite either. He bit back and ate with relish.

The soft and warm freshly peeled chicken head meat, the smooth and freshly stuffed crispy filling, the ancients' poems were indeed written after they had tasted and seen it!
