"Tsk tsk tsk Miss Feng, what an elegant way to set up a martial arts contest here to find a husband?"

Wen Juntong, displaying his spoiled brat ways, forced his way through the crowd to the arena set up by Feng Shiqi. After carefully reading the rules of the arena, he began to mock her with a sarcastic tone.

The rules of the arena are very simple. First, the person who goes to the arena to fight cannot be more than three years older than Feng Shiqi, which translates to no more than twenty-two years old. Their cultivation level must reach the late Foundation Establishment stage. Moreover, the arena is only a preliminary selection. They must also go through two rounds of appearance review before they can be officially listed as a marriage candidate for the Feng family.

If any one of the criteria is not met, it is impossible to enter the Feng family and live off Feng Shiqi's family.

"Humph"

Hearing Wen Juntong's sarcastic mockery, Feng Shiqi on the arena snorted coldly, raised her magical bow and pointed it at Wen Juntong's old face, and shouted angrily:

"Young Master Wen, stop your whining and babbling. If you don't come up here and kowtow to me twice, I'll go home later and call my father to your Wen family mansion to discuss with Madam Wen the possibility of you, Wen Juntong, marrying into our Feng family! From this moment on, you'll be miserable!"

“You…”

Wen Juntong was shocked by what he heard. He was so frightened by Feng Shiqi's words that he almost wet himself. His legs trembled, and he seemed to have lost the strength to stand. If Zhou You hadn't caught him in time, he might have fallen.

Marrying into a family in Xia Yu's household was not a good job. Apart from an improved standard of living, one's social status would generally decline sharply, not much better than that of the young men in brothels, and one would be looked down upon.

As it happened, Feng Shiqi was indeed capable of doing just that, managing to get the Wen family to pack up Wen Juntong and send him to their residence.

Because of his parents' disastrous marriage, Wen Juntong knew that he shouldn't marry a shrew, and Feng Shiqi definitely belonged to the shrew category, not the soft, sweet, and obedient girl that Wen Juntong liked.

"I'm sorry, Brother Wen, it was my fault for speaking so carelessly. I'll apologize to you right now. If Sister Feng doesn't mind, I'll host a grand banquet at Luohe Residence the next day and present you with a generous gift to express my remorse for my outburst."

After catching his breath, Wen Juntong pushed away Zhou You's support and bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle, apologizing to Feng Shiqi in a formal and serious manner, completely disregarding the stunned and astonished gazes around him. He had no shame whatsoever.

"Please, sister, don't let Wen-di become unhappy!"

"climb!"

Feng Shiqi raised her hand again, pointing outside the arena and ordering Wen Juntong to get back to where he came from. Her face full of displeasure, she mocked, "Don't you even take a piss and look at yourself before you try to sabotage me? If you're a couple of steps slower, I'll break your legs. You toad trying to eat swan meat!"

"Yes, yes, Sister Feng is right! Brother Wen is just an ungrateful bastard."

Wen Juntong didn't dare to retort, genuinely afraid that Feng Shiqi would discuss with his mother about him marrying into the Feng family.

"Could this be described as heroic and valiant, defeating the enemy from afar?"

Su Yan looked at Wen Juntong, who was covered in dust and looked terrified as he shrank behind her. Then he looked up at Feng Shiqi, who was frowning on the stage, and then looked at Hua Yu Zhenren and made a sarcastic remark. Feng Shiqi's words were sharp.

Without even lifting a finger, just a few words were enough to terrify the spoiled brat Wen Juntong to the point of almost wetting himself.

Su Yan seemed to understand a little why the bloodline of weak and foul-mouthed monsters like Shan Huan could be passed down to this day. It could only be said that there was market demand.

"No. Show your head!"

On the stage, Feng Shiqi pondered for a moment, recalling what she had just said to Wen Juntong. Realizing something was amiss, she immediately spoke, urging Wen Juntong, who had slipped into the crowd, to show himself, and added, "I have absolutely no interest in a scoundrel like you. I prefer men who are knowledgeable."

As soon as she spoke, Zhou You subconsciously took a step back and hid behind Su Yan. Su Yan was stunned when she saw this, and also moved lightly to slide behind Hua Yu Zhenren to conceal her figure.

"With red lips and white teeth, his handsome features are as beautiful as a painting."

Upon hearing this, Su Yan took another step back and buried his face in Hua Yu Zhenren's back. Zhou You breathed a sigh of relief because he was often out in the wild and had gotten a little tanned, which did not match Feng Shiqi's description of him as having red lips and white teeth. He immediately felt safe and stepped out from behind Su Yan, and also took the opportunity to scold Wen Juntong, who was behind him.

"The ideal man is one who habitually uses incense, whose scent is so pleasant that it makes one want to devour him. That's the kind of man I, Feng Shiqi, dream of."

Feng Shiqi glanced at Wen Juntong and said, "A stinky man like you is no good. Look at you, you haven't showered for at least three days and you stink all over."

Wen Juntong nodded obsequiously, offering no argument, but finally asked, "Is 1.6 meters or so suitable?"

"That's exactly what I like!"

Feng Shiqi nodded with certainty. Now that she could hold a contest to find a husband, she naturally wouldn't hide her preferred type of man. Whether she could find a suitable one or not, she could give her mother an explanation.

"Knowledgeable, with rosy lips and white teeth, handsome as a painting, and youthful in appearance like a young man with his hair tied up."

Wen Juntong and Zhou You's gazes unconsciously drifted to Su Yan, who was hiding behind Hua Yu.

Feng Shiqi didn't know Su Yan, but her criteria for choosing a partner all pointed to Su Yan. Su Yan seemed to be the perfect replica of Feng Shiqi's beloved, and he was also a top-tier white-haired fox demon from the Xia Yu folk tradition.

If we drag Brother Su out, wouldn't he be so infatuated with that woman that she can't tell east from west?

Wen Juntong thought to himself.

"What are you looking at? Look at your smug face, no wonder the Feng family girl dislikes you so much."

Hua Yu had seen countless people and could tell at a glance that Wen Juntong was fantasizing about using Su Yan to defeat Feng Shiqi, so that Feng Shiqi would become his sister-in-law and, although she was very unwilling, she would have to call him "Big Brother".

Hua Yu scoffed, interrupting Wen Juntong's daydream, and said, "Don't even think about it. Be careful, or Su Yan's aunt might melt you down."

"When it comes to ferocity, when have female beasts ever lost to humans?"

………………

Requesting monthly votes and requests to continue reading!

Waaah, I slept for over ten hours yesterday. After updating, I collapsed on the sofa to continue sleeping. As a result, I had a nightmare. In my dream, I was frantically rushing to finish my manuscript, saying that I was preparing to publish it and saving up some manuscripts to amaze the readers.

Then I got tired and said I'd take a nap, but then there was a dog!

In my dream, all the punctuation marks in the manuscript were changed to exclamation marks, and not just any exclamation marks, but symbols.

When I saw it, I was completely stunned. I thought to myself, "Oh no, this is terrible. Tens of thousands of words, hundreds or even thousands of punctuation marks. Who would be so bored as to mess with my draft like this?"

then

I woke up with a chill running down my spine; there was a spider on the back of the sofa.

The thing was very close to me, and I instinctively waved to shoo it away, but its fingernail scratched the corner of my eye and left me with eyeshadow.

I'm really speechless.

Spider, you're really something! You completely subdued me. You startled me first, then knocked me down. Thank goodness it's not an adult content.

Chapter 43 Revisiting the Myriad Flowers Pavilion

"What are you doing, sneaking around like that?"

Standing on the arena, Feng Shiqi could see Wen Juntong and his friends at a glance. A woman of extraordinary height stood in front of them to block the view, while three men were pushing and shoving each other, and it was unclear what was going on, but some arguments could be vaguely heard.

Feng Shiqi frowned as she looked at the three of them. Because of the preconceived notion caused by Wen Juntong, Su Yan and Zhou You were naturally put on the blacklist.

The three argued for a while, and then the woman raised her hand to interrupt their argument before leaving together. Moreover, the woman raised her hand in an extremely ambiguous manner and put it on the shoulder of one of the men, which made Feng Shiqi's eyes twitch and she cursed her inwardly as shameless.

"Someone come here, we're closing up shop!"

Feng Shiqi glanced at it a few times, then instructed the servants to tidy up the venue. The arena would end here for today; she might need to confront someone, so it would be temporarily closed.

A woman and three men were walking together, and the woman was even being ambiguous with one of them. Something seemed off. Feng Shiqi decided to secretly follow them to see what Wen Juntong was up to. If he was organizing some kind of illegal gathering, she would report it to Madam Wen immediately.

………………

Hua Yu led Su Yan through the bustling streets, stopping and starting as they pleased, not in a hurry to return to Wan Hua Ge.

She mainly brought Su Yan out to play. As for when he couldn't play at Wan Hua Ge, with a madam like her taking care of Su Yan, what kind of girl couldn't he try? Compared to those human fox spirits, Su Yan should be more interested in Xia Yu's night market, right?

"Little fox, look over there!"

Hua Yu raised her hand and pointed to the end of the main road. In the light of the lanterns and candles, she could vaguely see a circle enclosed by a wooden fence. Inside the circle sat some men and women with lifeless expressions on their faces, and all of them wore wooden name tags hanging on their chests.

Su Yan was taken aback when he looked over. Their name tags clearly listed the crimes they had committed.

Huang was fined 100 taels of silver for using money to seduce a widow, and was confined to a fenced area for three days as a warning to others.

Lin was fined 300 taels of gold and imprisoned for 15 days for organizing a large group of people to disturb the peace.

白某

Li Moumou.

"The widow is indeed alluring, but little fox, you'd better be careful not to expose yourself, or you'll not only be fined, but your name will also be displayed above your door as a warning to others."

Hua Yu smiled and touched Su Yan, showing him the consequences of messing around with men and women in Xia Yu's main city.

Having casual relationships here, while not as serious as being beaten to death, often results in being worse off than dead if reported to the authorities. Lying is useless in the cultivation world; once the Soul Searching Technique is activated, everything will come to light.

Hua Yu led the three of them on a detour, showing them some interesting streets.

"Girls, come out here!"

Back at Wanhua Pavilion, under the astonished and uncertain gazes of Wen Juntong and Zhou You, Hua Yu called out, and all the talented women, courtesans, and goddesses who had no customers gathered at the entrance of Wanhua Pavilion. Before they even arrived, the fragrant breeze and the dazzling array of flowers were so overwhelming that Wen Juntong didn't know where to focus his eyes.

The girl's fair, long legs were faintly covered with tattoo patterns that extended upwards to her clothes, making one want to explore them.

The girl was as white as snow, and the red ropes and golden bells on her limbs made her look even whiter. It also made some people have evil thoughts. Was it the girl's voice that was louder, or the bells that were ringing louder?

Each girl had a unique charm, which dazzled Wen Juntong so much that he didn't even notice that the girls of Wanhua Pavilion referred to Hua Yu Zhenren as a madam.

Zhou You, noticing this, looked at Su Yan with a strange expression, full of surprise.

Good heavens. This is the first time I've ever seen a family-run brothel business.

Both of Su Yan's elders ran brothels. Could it be that Su Yan's parents also ran brothels in other places?

Zhou You's imagination is still a bit lacking. If her aunt or Hua Yu knew what she was thinking, the two of them might show very subtle expressions.

A female nine-tailed fox is operating a brothel?

Even male dragons run brothels?

Do you want to recreate a corner of the ancient war between all races?

"Where is the Golden Core stage sister! I want to chat with her all night long about romance and nature!"

Overwhelmed by the sights, Wen Juntong simply stopped looking and went straight to stating his dream.

His talent for cultivation was mediocre, and his greatest dream was to spend a romantic night with his highly skilled older sister.

However, considering that the older sister in the Nascent Soul stage might be an old woman who has cultivated for hundreds or thousands of years, Wen Juntong specifically set his sights on the older sister in the Golden Core stage, whose age of one or two hundred years was still within his acceptable range.

"here!"

The goddess smiled and raised her hand, glanced at the madam, and then stepped forward to pull Wen Juntong away.

"No, no, no, I'm just accompanying Brother Wen. There's no need for any all-night discussions or anything like that."

When Zhou You saw the girls surrounding him, he quickly declined their enthusiasm. He needed to preserve his chastity for his fiancée and couldn't just give it up in the Wan Hua Ge. Otherwise, that woman might get so angry that she could crush him into a pulp.

"Give me a pot of wine and a plate of peanuts, and I'll sit in the lobby and listen to music."

The girl glanced at the madam, and Hua Yu waved her hand, letting Zhou You do whatever he wanted. Wen Juntong and Zhou You were just lucky to have Su Yan. Today, the main thing was to serve the little fox well and let him go back and whisper in the ear of the arrogant insect. That would be her victory!

"Don't force him if he's unwilling. Your main task today is to take good care of the little fox and treat him according to the highest rules for caring for demon cubs. If anything goes wrong, you will all lose your jobs."
