Chapter 124 Dragon Flame Fat

Ximen Kankan looked at the painting on the table and almost fell out of his eyes...

"Master, you are truly a god!"

Ximen Kankan swallowed and whispered something in Duan Rong's ear.

Upon hearing this, Duan Rong looked at Ximen Kankan suspiciously and asked, "How do you know so clearly?"

Ximen Kankan said, "I bribed her personal maid Xueqing, and Xueqing told me this herself."

Xue Qing's fair and bright face flashed before Duan Rong's eyes. He sighed in his heart: I never thought that this girl with such a clean face would do such a thing of betraying her master for fame and fortune!
Duan Rong picked up a brush, dipped some cinnabar in it, and drew a birthmark the size of a baby's fist with a blurred outline one inch to the left of Xia Shuangshuang's belly button in the painting!

Ximen Kankan then picked up the painting and exclaimed: "Perfect! Real! Nothing can be better! My dream! My good man!"

Duan Rong put down his pen and sighed, thinking: This kid is really creative! In such a closed environment, he can also come up with an idea similar to the AI face-changing in the previous life. There are really top talents in every field!

Ximen Kankan placed the painting on the table and said solemnly, "Brother, I hope you can keep this a secret for me!"

"Don't worry." Duan Rong said: "Heaven knows! Earth knows! You know! I know!"

Ximen Kankan heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Duan Rong say this, and said with a smile: "Brother, the payment for this painting is on credit. I will pay you immediately after I get my salary next month!"

"There's no rush for this!" Duan Rong said, "Brother Ximen, I also have something I want to ask you for!"

"Brother, please speak!" Ximen Kankan said sincerely, "Your business is my business!"

His Ximen family is one of the major forces in Xiangu County, and his father Ximen Yong has only one son. Therefore, as long as it is a matter within the territory of Xiangu County, Ximen Kankan is confident that he can handle it!

Duan Rong said, "That's right! I have a good friend, whose real name is inconvenient to reveal, but he is known as the Red Snake Boy in the martial arts world! He wants to find a medicinal herb!"

"The Red-robed Boy?" Ximen Kankan was stunned. He was considered to be quite knowledgeable, but he had never heard of this person.

However, he thought it was some other matter, but it turned out to be about looking for medicinal materials. His family ran a herbal medicine shop, so what was the big deal?
"This herb is called Dragon Flame Fat!" Duan Rong said the name. "You need two qian of it!"

Ximen Kankan was slightly stunned. He had never heard of this medicinal herb before, so he asked, "Brother, are you sure that Dragon Flame Fat is a medicinal herb? My family runs a herbal medicine shop, how come I have never heard of this medicinal herb?"

Duan Rong rolled his eyes at Ximen Kankan and said, "Do I need to look for you for ordinary herbs? This herb should be a very rare one!"

Ximen Kankan blinked his eyes and said, "That's fine! Lao Qin is in charge of purchasing the supplies. He often travels to various states. If there are any rare medicinal herbs, we should know the answer by asking him!"

"Then I'll have to trouble Brother Simon to ask for me and buy two coins for it!"

"That's easy!" Ximen Kankan didn't care at all. It was just a medicine, what's the big deal!
"This medicine is also involved in some issues! The matter of finding the medicine must not be leaked out!" Duan Rong suddenly looked at Ximen Kankan with a serious expression and said.

Seeing Duan Rong's expression change, Ximen Kankan immediately said, "Brother, don't worry! Don't think I'm always laughing, I'm very tight-lipped!"

Duan Rong nodded and said, "If this gets out, my friend's life might be in danger! I will definitely not let you off when the time comes! I will also expose the matter of Xia Shuangshuang's painting and let Xia Zhongyang know!"

Duan Rong was still somewhat worried, and his words were half instructions and half threats.

Ximen Kankan was really startled, and he used his hand as a palm knife to lightly chop his neck twice, saying, "Brother, just keep your heart in your stomach! Even if there is a knife on my neck, I will never say a word!"

Duan Rong was relieved and said, "If you have any news, let me know so I can reply to my friend!"

"It's getting late, thank you for your hospitality! I'll go back to the escort agency first!" Duan Rong clasped his fists and said goodbye.

Ximen Kankan called Shi Kang over and asked him to send Duan Rong back, but Duan Rong refused and just asked for a lamp, which he carried himself to Yuanshun Escort Agency.

Ximen Kankan sent Duan Rong away, immediately closed the gate of Xueyanju, and stayed in the hall alone!

He looked at the painting on the table with a hungry look on his face, and murmured, "Shuangshuang, here I come!" As he spoke, Ximen Kankan untied his belt, and his pants slid down to his ankles, revealing two thick, hairy thighs...

Half an hour later, the gate of Xueyanju was reopened and Ximen Kankan walked out with a tired look. He called Shi Kang and asked him to go find Qin Chonglai.

"It's so late, I wonder which brothel the old guy is having fun in. Where can I find him?" Shi Kang complained with a sad face.

Ximen Kankan thought about it and it made sense. The old man was always a sex-hungry ghost, always clamoring to die on a woman's belly. How could he stay at home honestly? "Then tomorrow morning, anyway, let him come to see me as soon as possible!"

"Don't worry, sir. I will definitely catch him tomorrow morning!" Shi Kang said with a wicked smile.

The next morning, not long after breakfast, Shi Kang brought Qin Zhong, who looked tired and hungover, to Xueyanju.

Qin Zhong had a dark complexion and a goatee. When he saw Ximen Kankan, he smiled and said, "Young Master, you're looking for me!"

"Lao Qin, you're back, why didn't you come to see me? What's wrong? Has our relationship become so estranged?"

"No way! Young Master, you are always a busy man. I have nothing to do, so how can I bother you?"

Qin Zhong's face changed. He was not afraid of Ximen Yong. After all, he did a good job and Ximen Yong valued him very much!
But he was really troubled by this mischievous young master. Ever since he came to the Ximen family, this kid had given him many problems!
"Really?" Ximen Kankan stood up from his seat, looked at Qin Zhong, and said, "If you don't want to come, forget it. I tell you, I don't want to see you even if I have nothing to do! You never tell the truth, you are greedy and lustful, and you fool my dad with fools every day!"

"Young Master, you can't say that! I am loyal to the Ximen family..."

"Okay, okay. I called you here because I have something to tell you!" Ximen Kankan interrupted Qin Zhong and said, "Do you know that there is a medicinal herb called Dragon Flame Fat?"

“Dragon Flame Fat?” Qin Zhong’s dark complexion was slightly startled, and he said vaguely, “I have heard of this medicine a little bit, it seems to have originated from the Western Regions!”

"Originated from the Western Regions?" Ximen Kankan asked, "You have only heard of it, but have you never seen it?"

Qin Zhong smiled and said, "There are so many kinds of medicinal herbs in the world, as numerous as the stars. How could I have seen them all?"

Ximen Kankan was surprised. Lao Qin was a wandering doctor and had been doing purchasing for many years, but he had never seen it before. It showed how rare and obscure this medicinal material was!

"Next time you go to the city to buy something, look around and buy something for two cents!" Ximen Kankan looked at Qin Zhong and instructed.

"Are you just looking for it? Or do you really want to buy it?" Qin Zhong asked tentatively.

"Of course you must buy it! If you can't buy it, you don't have to come back!" Ximen Kankan glared at Qin Zhong and said.

"Don't worry, young master! I will definitely get the Dragon Flame Fat for you!" Qin Zhong saw Ximen Kankan got angry, and immediately patted his chest and promised.

"Also, if any word of this matter leaks out, he'll be in trouble!" Ximen Kankan said, looking at Qin Zhong fiercely.

Qin Zhong's heart skipped a beat. He knew how terrifying the devil in front of him would be once he got angry. He immediately said, "Young Master, don't worry! If even a word of this gets out, I'll smash my own balls!"

"Get out!" Ximen Kankan said coldly with a stern face.

Qin Zhong was as if he had been pardoned. He laughed and prepared to run away. As soon as he turned around, he heard Ximen Kankan suddenly say, "Wait!"

Qin Zhong turned his head and asked, "Old Qin, you often go out. Have you ever heard of a boy named Chi Lian Tong?"

"Red Snake Boy, I've never heard of him! If the Young Master needs anything, I'll help you find out when I go out this time!"

"No need for that, I was just asking casually! Go away!"

"Come on!"
