I manage female characters in all the heavens.

Li Mochou suppressed her joy and raised her head sadly, saying, "Twenty thousand taels of silver to buy my youth, to buy my betrayal of my sect, to buy my life that I can never take back..."

"Lu Zhanyuan, how cruel you are... But I accept it."

She raised her hand to wipe away non-existent tears from her eyelids, and said coldly:

"Give it to me, and our feud will end here. From now on, we'll be strangers, with no further connection whatsoever!"

Lao Lu, I'm very satisfied with your offer, so I'll let you off the hook.

However, whether the real Li Mochou will cause you trouble when she returns is beyond my control.

These 20,000 taels of silver are only for my forgiveness, "Li Mochou".

Lu Zhanyuan returned to Lu Family Manor and, under He Yuanjun's disapproving gaze, forcibly took 20,000 taels of silver notes and left.

Even for a place as large as the Lu Family Manor, 20,000 taels of silver would have been a fortune that would have taken several years to accumulate.

He Yuanjun had just married into the Lu family manor and become the manor lord's wife. She had never even touched so much money before her husband was about to give it to his ex-girlfriend as a breakup fee.

Only she herself understands this pain and entanglement, this anger and resentment.

Fortunately, we finally got rid of that plague woman, and victory still belongs to me, He Yuanjun!

Old Lu is an honest man; he'll really give money when he has it.

Li Mochou happily took the money and left, and the onlookers, seeing that the excitement was over, also dispersed.

Lu Zhanyuan returned to the manor, sat back on his throne as the manor lord, and looked utterly dejected.

He Yuanjun placed a cup of tea beside him, sat in his lap, and gently comforted him:

"It's alright, it's only 20,000 taels. You can earn it back in a few years. 20,000 taels can resolve this dispute and prevent any further trouble in the future, so it's a good deal."

He Yuanjun is not a fool. Li Mochou's talent and future in martial arts are obvious to the naked eye. If such a person were to harbor hatred out of love and take a grudge against their family, there is a risk of their entire family being wiped out in the future.

Now, the 20,000 taels have resolved the karmic debt and quelled a future calamity, which is well worth it.

Previously, it was only because Li Mochou was stubborn and refused to accept the money and leave that things escalated to the point where she forced her way into the wedding, was taught a lesson, and was even forced to make a vow.

As long as her husband Lu Zhanyuan's attitude is clear and he only cares about her, she doesn't mind using money to get rid of Li Mochou.

She married Lu Zhanyuan not for money, but out of true love.

Lu Zhanyuan embraced his wife, feeling the softness in his arms, but the sense of loss in his heart could not be filled.

Li Mochou ruthlessly took the money and left without a second thought, which made him feel anxious and uncertain.

"Mo Chou, can our relationship really be severed by just 20,000 taels of silver?"

"Is it really over that we'll have no connection anymore?"

Memories flooded back, and Li Mochou's former charming smile and her current cold and resolute demeanor intertwined to form a nail of ice and fire, driving it deep into his heart.

He found that as Li Mochou took the initiative to let go, he found it even harder to forget her.

"Don't worry..."

A soft murmur jolted He Yuanjun, who was lost in tenderness, awakening her like a thunderclap in her heart.

Her fists clenched suddenly, her eyes flashing with endless coldness and hatred.

She understood that a high wall had risen again between her and her husband, who had previously been inseparable.

A high wall named "Li Mochou"!

As expected, what you can't have is always the best. After this incident, Li Mochou's importance in Lu Zhanyuan's heart actually increased.

This was unacceptable to Ho Yuen-kwan, who became insanely jealous.

My husband can only have me in his heart. If anyone else comes into his life, he will get rid of them!

He Yuanjun didn't reveal any of her thoughts until she returned to her room, at which point she couldn't hold back her tears and her eyes turned red.

After much deliberation, she finally decided to write a letter to her adoptive father, Wu Santong.

Father, you wouldn't want your beloved daughter to be consumed by jealousy and spend her days in tears, would you?

It's all Li Mochou's fault, Father, please use your powerful martial arts to help your daughter one last time!

……

"Here you go, the three thousand taels deposit is all paid in full. Please count it."

Inside the clinic, "Li Mochou" spent three of the silver notes she had just received and hadn't even warmed up yet.

The doctor stared blankly at the large wad of cash, still in the girl's hand.

"If I may ask, young lady, is your astonishingly rapid rate of making money through legal means?"

"If it's illegal, I'm sorry, but please forgive me for breaking my word and not being able to make money off you."

Good heavens, he went out and came back with 20,000 taels of silver. He couldn't even imagine which powerful family he had robbed.

Even with his Quanzhen Sect background, his little clinic wouldn't dare accept this kind of money!

Chongyang Palace is thousands of miles away, yet the local bully managed to take his life today.

Li Mochou slammed her hand on the table, filled with grievances:

"What do you mean by illegal? What do you mean by illegal?!"

"I'm a girl, and I was deceived by a man to the point that my sect betrayed me, my relatives and friends abandoned me, and I left my hometown. I gave him everything, and I almost died!"

"He started something and then abandoned me, turning his back on me without a second thought. What's wrong with me asking for some breakup money? Besides, he gave it to me voluntarily!"

"If this is not legal, then the Great Song Dynasty is doomed! Today I will rise up in rebellion, reshape the world, rebuild the nation, and establish my legitimacy from the very beginning!"

The doctor quickly pulled her away to stop her from rambling on.

"Alright, alright, that's enough! We know it's legal now, so shut up!"

"Fine, I'll keep the money, please calm down, little miss!"

If you keep shouting, I'm afraid we'll both end up in jail today and be executed tomorrow.

At that point, they won't care whether you're legal or not; you'll all die!

Li Mochou snorted coldly, sat down, and slammed her fist on the table, angrily saying:

"I don't like what you just said. I'm going to deduct one hundred taels from your medicine bill!"

The doctor rolled his eyes: "You can talk about this once you get the medicinal herbs."

You're already saying you'll deduct money before you even receive the goods? Fine, I'll deduct money from your medicinal herbs!

"We act with integrity and uprightness, and we will not engage in pretense with you!"

Looking at "Li Mochou's" principled and upright face, the doctor felt somewhat ashamed of himself.

It's been so long since I've encountered such a righteous and outspoken young hero.

Back then, he was just as spirited and youthful.

Unfortunately, as time went by and real-world setbacks came, he was worn down into the disheartened person he is today.

The battles on the battlefield didn't take his life, but the peaceful life changed him beyond recognition, making him no longer himself.

What difference is there between this and being dead?

She's a good girl, innocent and naive, unaware of the wickedness of human nature, which makes her vulnerable in the world.

As a senior colleague, it is my duty to lend her a hand wherever I can!

The doctor's gaze toward "Li Mochou" softened, gradually becoming like that of someone looking at a granddaughter.

"Young lady, feel free to come and sit here anytime. You can learn some pharmacology knowledge, which will be beneficial for your future career."

Li Mochou narrowed her beautiful eyes, her tone chilling:

"Old man, you're too old to be trying to pick up girls. I advise you to think twice!"

The doctor remained silent, gazing at the heavens in bewilderment.

These days, young people are sometimes really hard to understand...

Chapter 16 starts with a powerful move.

When the energy circulates throughout the body, the spirit overflows naturally, and the internal energy flows like mud into the sea and returns to the dantian, without any trace of madness or superficiality.

Previously, the meridians that caused pain in the groin when circulating internal energy were now thoroughly cleansed by the internal force, and the spasms were no longer felt.

The pain in the internal organs has vanished without a trace, leaving only a clear, spring-like state.

Li Mochou finished her exercise and stood up. All her injuries were gone, and her energy and spirit were fully restored. She felt as relaxed as if she had been reborn.

Thanks to having established a good relationship with the doctor, I managed to get some secret internal injury medicines. The injury, which was originally expected to take half a month to recover, was cured in just one week.

It wasn't a serious internal injury to begin with, and with the combined effects of her internal energy cultivation and medication, it's not surprising that she recovered quickly.

Even more surprisingly, she turned misfortune into a blessing.

Because of the continuous use of internal energy to protect the meridians and nurture the injury during the internal injury period, the internal energy was greatly honed and its purity was improved to a certain extent.

Now that her injuries have healed and she no longer needs to use her internal energy to protect her meridians, after recovering them all, "Li Mochou" discovered that even her internal strength had increased significantly.

"As expected, only fighting can quickly increase one's cultivation level; hard training is still too slow."

The increase in internal energy gained during the healing process is counted in her entrusted gains and can be taken away.

This part contains at least 200 units of internal energy, making his week of hard work worthwhile.

At that moment, the chatter of some diners in the lobby downstairs caught her attention.

"Waiter, bring over a table of food." She called out directly to the door.

The waiter's reply came immediately: "Okay, sir, the usual?"

"Ah."

Soon, a table full of fine wine and meat was served, all of which were the best dishes from Zuixianlou.

Old Lu gave a full 20,000 taels as a breakup fee. After deducting the funds used to acquire the two Fulong Sugutang paintings, there were still several thousand taels left to squander.

Even if "Li Mochou" indulged in lavish meals and lived a life of debauchery without doing anything, it would still be enough for her to live in the Drunken Immortal Pavilion for a year or two.

This is the best restaurant in all of Jiaxing.
