I have the best bloodline

Su Yan: "."

I'll have lunch and then come back to update.

I originally planned to go to the market at the crack of dawn to fight with the aunties for pork belly in order to stock up.

And that was it. I wandered around for an hour and didn't buy anything.

The aunties are incredibly efficient; everything was pre-ordered, there was absolutely no stock available.

Chapter 54 Are You Having Insomnia? (Third Update, Please Read and Add to Favorites)

"But they really gave a lot, and they didn't ask for any questions. They just wrote down the area of ​​their house and asked us to calculate a price for them."

My aunt looked at the paper in her hand with a lot of trouble. The ladies’ mansions were quite large. There were more than a dozen ladies here. It seemed like they didn’t earn much, but when the news spread among those ladies, business came knocking.

"Sell it, sell it!"

Su Yan covered his head, speechless, and said, "Our water heating system isn't anything profound. Anyone with knowledge can observe it for a few days and figure out the ins and outs. It's not a secret."

The circulating water heating system that Su Yan made was very rudimentary and could not compare with those in his previous life at all. The reason it could provide such a comfortable temperature was entirely due to the natural gas that did not require payment, namely the Xia Yu Fire Well.

If he can create something like this, anyone who is interested can naturally replicate it after observing it for a period of time.

The original intention of creating the water heater was because his second tail had grown out and he could no longer freely transform back into his original form. So Su Yan created the water heater to help him survive the winter in his human form, which had no resistance to cold.

Since the ladies also liked plumbing, Su Yan naturally had no reason to refuse the business that came to him.

“Auntie, it seems like we’re doing something a little unproductive, don’t we? We started a business, but now we’re running a fox spirit temple to collect incense and sell wishing plaques. The main hall of the business has also become a horse-drawn carriage, and with the renovations, are we really running a business?” Su Yan asked.

My aunt smiled and said, "The Wan Hua Ge initially operated in the intelligence business and assassination trade! But now, who remembers their main business? The income from their side businesses is directly based on their main business. The major demonic sects behind them have opened Wan Hua Ge stores everywhere, making a fortune."

The main business of Wan Hua Ge is intelligence gathering and assassination. The brothel business is just a side business used to cultivate relationships with the powerful and wealthy, build an intelligence network, and entertain customers. As a result, the name of Wan Hua Ge's brothels is now known throughout the cultivation world, and the assassination business has been basically monopolized by the disciples of Yan Zhen.

"Unintentional successes are becoming all too common. As long as we can earn spirit stones, who cares about anything else!" Auntie comforted Su Yan.

Su Yan wanted to help her aunt make money and expand her business. However, her first attempt turned her brothel into a fox spirit temple, which drove away male customers and attracted a large number of women. They had heard that there was a very beautiful white fox spirit there, so they came specifically to make a wish.

My aunt also started a horse racing club business.

Su Yan made his second move, helping himself get through the harsh winter while preparing to help the brothel overtake others during the off-season.

Now things are looking up again; with another side hustle, Lanzi is preparing to transform into a decoration company.

“I’m not really good at calculating repair costs. Let’s ask Lao Zhang to come over and discuss the costs. Once we get the job, let Lao Zhang handle the installation and after-sales service directly!” Su Yan sighed, feeling a little tired.

The stall business is beyond saving. We might as well do as my aunt said and just let things happen by chance. We'll make a profit now and worry about the rest later!

But Su Yan was still very tired. He clearly wanted to help the brothel business improve, so that his aunt could make money and the talented women could save more money to redeem their relatives who were serving hard labor. However, the brothel business was lukewarm, while the side business was directly riding on the coattails of the brothel business.

That wasn't my intention at all!

Why.

………………

…………

Exhausted, Su Yan had no interest in leisurely drinking tea upstairs with her aunt. She returned to the brothel lobby, went to the kitchen in the backyard, scooped out a bowl of chilled mung bean soup from a clay pot, and sat down in the lobby to drink the sweet soup.

On one side was shaved ice and sweet soup, and on the other side was underfloor heating. The abundance of sugar made Su Yan feel a little better.

"Little fox!"

Su Yan, who was sitting in the corner drinking sweet soup, suddenly heard someone calling her. The voice sounded very familiar. Su Yan subconsciously looked up and saw her aunt's friend, a boy from the Imperial Demon Suppression Division, leading a group of new recruits from the division into the brothel.

Su Yan froze when she saw the crowd, and Yu Yanning, who was in the crowd, also froze when she saw Su Yan.

The two gazed deeply into each other's eyes.

"what--"

After Yu Yanning exclaimed in surprise, a flood of memories of her journey to the capital for the imperial examinations began to overwhelm her brain, causing it to shut down on the spot. Her eyes rolled back and she fainted, startling her colleagues around her.

Little fox, little bell! Ahhhhh! How could this be?!

Su Yan spat out a mouthful of sugar water, and the icy bits choked his lungs, causing him to cough incessantly.

The unexpected meeting startled both the man and the woman.

This was the first time Yu Yanning had seen Su Yan's true form. She had no idea that the little fox that had fallen into her hands and was used by her Fusu to make a wish had transformed into such a handsome young man. Her mind went completely blank.

Have you been having trouble sleeping lately?

The boy ignored the unconscious Yu Yanning, frowned, and came to Su Yan. He looked Su Yan up and down, who was coughing with her mouth covered, and asked a strange question.

"Insomnia?"

Su Yan covered her chest to stop coughing, blushed, and looked at Zou Tong to repeat her strange question.

“Yes! You must be having trouble sleeping now, right?” Zou Tong frowned and said, “Have you been to some strange place lately? How did you get involved with the Nightmare Suppression Curse?”

Zou Tong is a member of the Demon Suppression Division. He often deals with those who use Nightmare Suppression and has mastered a set of aura-detection techniques personally taught by Emperor Wusheng. This is a set of identification techniques specifically designed to see through the false methods of Nightmare Suppression.

Black energy had already appeared on Su Yan's body, and the black energy condensed into a strange shadow, which pried open his eyelids with both hands, indicating that Su Yan had been afflicted by the 'Sleep Possession Technique'.

Someone wants to possess his body!

"It seems... no one has insomnia, right?" Su Yan was taken aback by the solemn look on Zou Tong's face. After thinking carefully, she answered Zou Tong's question with some uncertainty.

Because he had recently advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage, and with the brothel under renovation and the severe cold, Su Yan had been practicing Water Illusion and breathing exercises every night, only taking a short break around nine o'clock at night, completely following the biological clock he used to have when he worked at the brothel.

"Do you have insomnia?" That really stumped him.

"What happened?"

The aunt climbed down from upstairs and asked the boy a question.

She sensed the arrival of the boy, but didn't know why he hadn't come up to her. Instead, he stood beside Su Yan, asking her all sorts of questions. Feeling something was off, she turned and came downstairs.

Because the sounds of card games echoing from the brothel, the aunt didn't hear the conversation between the two.

"Your nephew has been afflicted by a possession curse," Zou Tong said, looking at his aunt. "It's not a particularly novel curse, but rather a curse that prevents the victim from sleeping for a long time until they suffer a mental breakdown, and then possesses another's body. It's a very old curse."

"Someone is trying to possess my body?"

Su Yan gasped and quickly told Zou Tong, "I've been staying home the whole time. The only time I went out was to Wan Hua Ge. I didn't encounter anything strange that time. It shouldn't be, right?"

My aunt's face darkened, and she asked, "Our brothel has been under renovation recently. Did you revert to your original form and wander around the brothel during this time?"

"No!"

…………

Thank you to the user "Broken is Fully Responsible" for the 5000 reward.

Look closely, this trainee pharmacist is called Xiao Shuai, and he's walking towards Xiao Mei's house. Also notice this beautiful woman who lost her husband; her name is Xiao Mei, and she lives alone.

Chapter 55 Little Fox! Bite Him! (Please add to your favorites and read on!)

Su Yanwei is a rather honest fox, and he rarely leaves his elders' sight. Moreover, the people who come to his aunt's brothel are all regulars, so there aren't any complete strangers wandering around.

After learning that Su Yan had been cursed, the only possibility that Auntie could think of was that someone had cast a curse on Su Yan during the renovation of the brothel, because only during the renovation period would a large number of strangers wander around the brothel, and it would be impossible at other times.

"The curse on him is of an old style, so breaking it shouldn't be a big problem. Besides, it's a curse used for possession."

The boy patted his aunt's shoulder and said, "The biggest problem now is... who's got their eye on the little fox?"

"I don't know."

My aunt shook her head and said.

Many people have designs on Su Yan, from the Nine-Tailed Fox and the Four Seas Dragon Clan to those who want to capture Ao Renlin.

Su Yan was not under an instant-death curse. The person who cast the curse aimed to possess Su Yan's body. Once in possession, there were many things that could be done. It was possible to manipulate Su Yan to run back to the Su clan's territory, or to turn around and run to the Black Dragon clan's territory in the northern state.

Of course, this doesn't exclude the possibility of Su Qing's enemies; there are plenty of despicable people who want to slash her cheeks.

With so many enemies, Auntie couldn't think of any possibilities right away.

"Is there any hope for me?"

Panic gradually appeared on Su Yan's face. Originally, she was not worried at all, but as her aunt and the boy talked back and forth, words like "fox fur" and "adultery" came out, Su Yan began to panic.

Despite being under the spell of sleep possession, Su Yan felt nothing. He ate and drank as usual, and even raised his flag every morning as usual. He didn't feel anything unusual, and his body was as strong as an ox.

He had no real understanding of the spells, but as his aunt and the boy's conversation deepened...

After being possessed, the person might use your body to sell their body and engage in illicit sexual acts, all in an effort to climb to a higher position. They intend to slap the face of Emperor Wusheng during the Xia Yu New Year, and after committing their sins, they would disappear without a trace, leaving you to take the blame.

Su Yan panicked immediately. He didn't want to wake up one day to find it was autumn and he was kneeling on the execution stage.

"Of course you can be saved. However, we don't know who attacked you, and even after the attack is resolved, you may still be targeted by thieves again."

The boy reassured Su Yan, saying that he didn't need to worry too much about the possession spell:

"Only by finding the mastermind or the method of casting the curse can we truly prevent the recurrence of possession incidents."

"Let's get rid of the dirt on him first!" Auntie glanced at Su Yan and said to the boy.

"Okay, find me a quiet room."

Zou Tong nodded and agreed to his aunt's request to deal with Su Yan's matter first. His aunt led the way, taking Su Yan and Zou Tong to the fourth floor of the walled building.

The most secluded spot in the brothel was on the fourth floor, where Auntie's bedroom and cultivation room were located. Usually, besides Auntie, only Su Yan would wander around there.

The aunt led Su Yan and the boy to the cultivation room. Pushing open the door, the room was empty except for a treasure cabinet placed against the wall to store some pills, spiritual plants, and minerals.

"Show your true form! I'll first remove the sleeping possession curse from your body."

The boy took off his red cloak, revealing his sleeves, looking ready to fight. However, Su Yan did not reveal his true form as instructed, and instead looked at his aunt.

"It's alright, she's just a simple-minded cat. She'd be sold out and still count the money for the seller," Auntie said to Su Yan, ignoring Zou Tong's protests.

"it is good"

Upon hearing this, Su Yan quickly shrank back, instantly revealing her true form as a white fox. She was still a tiny creature, squatting on the floor, but her two slightly fluffy, swaying snow-white tails were particularly eye-catching.

Upon seeing this, the boy's gaze sharpened. He turned to his aunt and whispered, "Chong Qiong, Chong Qiong! You really deserve divine retribution! Keeping a male nine-tailed fox at home! And doing it secretly without registering it!"

"Go away, he's Su Qing's son. What do you mean by secretly raising a male nine-tailed fox? There aren't that many lost nine-tailed foxes in the world," Auntie rolled her eyes.
