Film and Television Variety Show: The Jade Girl's Love Affair

Touched, Li Xiangyi turned around and lay down on Tang Yu's lap to sleep.

"Ayu, keep me company tonight. I'm trying to push my luck today."

"Bring me the nail clippers, I'll trim your nails."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiangyi's eyes and brows were filled with a smug smile.

He suddenly had a hunch that he might be able to make a lot of money in Yucheng this time, so he could get married sooner.

The next day, after the two got up and washed, Li Xiangyi began to draw eyebrows on the person in front of him.

"Shouldn't we have gone to the back mountain earlier?"

"No rush, the mountain behind won't run away."

Having finally managed to get a chance to have his eyebrows drawn last night, Li Xiangyi didn't want to miss the opportunity for intimacy this morning.

Painting eyebrows is a pleasure in the boudoir, and the thought of using one's husband's privilege a little in advance is delightful.

After spending the morning cuddling and cuddling, and even having breakfast together,

The two finally arrived at the back of the mountain and then proceeded to the location that Tang Yu had discovered the day before.

"This is indeed the Life and Death Miasma of the Medicine Demon. It seems my guess was correct."

"So the secret is inside. Shall we go in?"

Of course he had to go in; Li Xiangyi had even guessed the truth behind those disappearances.

Legend has it that the Medicine Demon would test his potions on living people, so those who have disappeared must have met with misfortune.

However, this back mountain is clearly Jade City's territory, so why is the Medicine Demon hiding here? Does the Jade City Lord even know about this?

“Ayu, the poison of the Life and Death Miasma is very strong. I can only enter by using acupressure and holding my breath. Your martial arts are different from mine, so you also need to find a way to avoid the poison.”

Tang Yu couldn't help but smile.

"Don't worry, this toxicity won't affect me at all. Hold my hand and let's continue walking inside."

The two walked hand in hand into the miasma of life and death. Just as they were about to leave, the sound of conversation in the distance instantly put them on alert.

Tang Yu immediately took Li Xiangyi and flew behind a boulder.

In an open area ahead, Tang Yu saw Yu Hongzhu, the city lord of Yucheng, talking to an elderly man.

Chapter 19 Lotus Tower 19

“Those people we captured were too weak; they died shortly after we started making the medicine. Yu Hongzhu, capture a few more.”

Don't bother with those useless things. It's best to have someone with some skill; that way, the medicine-making process will last longer. Alas... suitable medicine-makers are truly hard to find.

The Medicine Demon sighed, feeling that the people he had been dealing with lately had been utterly useless.

Yu Hongzhu was also in a dilemma. If she kept arresting local people, it would eventually attract attention, so she deliberately arrested people from other places.

However, arresting too many people would cause panic and make them afraid to come to Yucheng, which would not be appropriate.

But she couldn't refuse such an order.

"Please rest assured, Medicine Demon, I will certainly obey your orders."

It seems we'll have to find someone physically strong to practice martial arts; they'll need to rig things at the gambling den.

The two then chatted about other things, including some rare medicinal herbs needed by the Medicine Demon, and a few other matters involving the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance, mentioning Jiao Liqiao and others.

After the two finished talking, the Medicine Demon turned around and went back into the stone cave behind, while Yu Hongzhu turned around and walked in another direction.

"Should we kill the Medicine Demon?"

When Tang Yu asked this question, Li Xiangyi shook his head.

"It's not advisable to alert them yet. Let's investigate the secrets of Jade City first."

"But Di Feisheng is in seclusion in the stone cave. I think the secret of Jade City is that simple."

After learning about the specific grievances between Li Xiangyi and the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance last night, Tang Yu communicated with the surrounding plants as soon as she arrived here today.

Therefore, she confirmed that Di Feisheng was secretly in seclusion in Yucheng, and that Yu Hongzhu was obviously also a member of the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance.

“Ayu isn’t joking, is Di Feisheng really in there?”

Tang Yu nodded, and Li Xiangyi began to ponder.

"Let's go back first. I still need to think about what to do about Yucheng."

After returning to the courtyard where the two lived, Li Xiangyi brought up the matter of Shan Gudao again.

“The Medicine Demon is Di Feisheng’s man. Killing him now is tantamount to declaring war on Di Feisheng. I also need to find out the whereabouts of my senior brother’s body from Di Feisheng, but Di Feisheng is currently in seclusion…”

A martial arts practitioner in seclusion should not be easily disturbed.

The Medicine Demon is here, clearly protecting Di Feisheng.

So how do we end Di Feisheng's seclusion?

Forcibly rushing in and interrupting the other party's seclusion might cause Di Feisheng to suffer a qi deviation, in which case he could forget about finding his senior brother's corpse.

"Let's pick the softest persimmon to squeeze. It's not a good time to deal with the Medicine Demon. And since you don't want to disturb Di Feisheng's seclusion, let's use the Jade Red Candle to lure Jiao Liqiao over."

Judging from their conversation, the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance is now under the control of Jiao Liqiao, and she might even know about your senior brother's corpse.

If Jiao Liqiao still doesn't know, then force Di Feisheng to leave the pass.

Incidentally, the two can also take this opportunity to solve the missing persons case.

Once she falls into the hands of her and Li Xiangyi, Yu Hongzhu will no longer have the opportunity to capture innocent people to make medicine.

“You’re right, I’ve been focusing my attention on Di Feisheng, but given the current situation, Jiao Liqiao might know even more than Di Feisheng…”

At this point, Li Xiangyi couldn't help but chuckle.

It seems that Di Feisheng, the leader of the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance, is not actually in such a stable position.

"Let's start with Yu Hongzhu. I'll make a poison to scare her now."

After saying this, Tang Yu chopped up some herbs she had recently collected, mixed them with flour, and rolled them into several pills.

Li Xiangyi couldn't stop laughing as he watched from the side.

"What kind of poison is this?"

"I haven't decided yet. Can you pick one for me? It just needs to be scary enough to scare people."

"Even the Medicine Demon would be shocked to see you. Making poison is so easy!"

What's the difference between this and making dumplings by hand?

This is an utter disgrace to all those who practice poison making.

“There was a simpler way to poison her, but if I didn’t make it into a pill for her to take, I was worried that she wouldn’t believe that I had poisoned her.”

So this pill is mainly made of flour and some bitter medicine residue..."

"Heart-Shattering and Bone-Corroding Pill? Soul-Devouring and Death-Slaying Pill?"

Li Xiangyi picked out the two names and burst into laughter.

"Then let's call it the Heart-Shattering and Bone-Corroding Pill. It sounds terrifying."

That night, Tang Yu sneaked into the courtyard where Yu Hongzhu lived, intending to poison her immediately, but she discovered something unexpected.

Yu Hongzhu is having a secret rendezvous with someone, not her husband Yu Mulan.

She recognized this person; he was Zongzheng Mingzhu, the prime minister's grandson and the fiancé of Yu Mulan's younger sister, Yu Qiushuang.

What a blast.

On Li Xiangyi's side, he was also searching in other courtyards to see if the Yu family had any other secrets.

Then, he discovered that Yu Mulan was having a secret rendezvous with a woman.

It wasn't until after Zongzheng Mingzhu left that Tang Yu appeared before Yu Hongzhu and poisoned her.

"Don't glare at me like that. You just took the Heart-Shattering and Bone-Corroding Pill. You'll die from your body shattering into pieces..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Hongzhu collapsed to the ground, her whole body convulsing in pain.

"Who are you? What do you want?"

Yu Hongzhu stared at the veiled woman before her with a face full of terror and despair, completely bewildered as to when she had offended such a powerful figure.

"You are not qualified to ask who I am. I want Jiao Liqiao to come to Yucheng immediately. I don't care what reason or excuse you use, as long as you can get her here right away."

Every day you delay, you suffer for another day, so you don't need me to tell you what to do.

It's quite satisfying to be the bad guy; you can just use threats and inducements.

After achieving her goal, Tang Yu returned to the courtyard, where Li Xiangyi also returned.

After exchanging the information they had found that evening, the two of them both showed expressions of surprise.

"So, Miss Yu Qiushuang, the Second Miss Yu, is a great victim of injustice?"

Her sister and her fiancé were having an affair, while her best friend Yun Jiao was also entangled with her brother-in-law.

Was she the only one kept in the dark, completely unaware, and still wholeheartedly devoted to Zongzheng Mingzhu and Yun Jiao?

Li Xiangyi nodded with a complicated expression.

"You're right, that's exactly how it is."

Therefore, a major power shift is bound to occur in Yucheng next.

Yu Hongzhu is a member of the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance. Once exposed, she will definitely be investigated and taken away by Baichuan Academy. It will probably not be so simple for Yu Qiushuang to take control of Yucheng.

So what choice will Yu Qiushuang make?

"Ayu, you just mentioned that you knew Zongzheng Mingzhu before?"

Tang Yu was pondering whether to approach Yu Qiushuang and test her personality when Li Xiangyi suddenly asked this question.

“This guy came to Peach Blossom Pavilion and secretly brought me gifts to try and win me over, but I ignored him.”

People who are overly attentive usually don't leave a lasting impression.
