Chapter 16. Men should rise to the challenge
The Wang estate was bustling last night, but tonight, it's eerily quiet.
Having received Ling Xiaoyue's instructions, everyone in the Wang family retreated to their rooms, not to come out regardless of any noises they heard, to avoid accidental injury.
Ling Xiaoyue and Fang Zhou stayed in Wang Minghong's courtyard, waiting for that fox demon to return.
According to Ling Xiaoyue, Wang Minghong still had a vestige of male essence within him, which the fox demon wouldn't pass up. It might have been playful before, not in a rush to harvest it, but after getting shot in the face by Ling Xiaoyue last night, it would surely come back to absorb the last bit of yang energy and take its revenge on the two.
Ling Xiaoyue stayed in the next room, and when Fang Zhou went in, he noticed a thick piece of cured meat on the table that seemed to have just been brought over by the butler.
"What's this?"
Fang Zhou picked up the cured meat, feeling that its shape was a bit ominous.
Ling Xiaoyue was drinking a small jar of wine and replied, "That's Yue Ya'er's horsewhip. I specifically asked the butler to keep the horsewhip and then used a secret technique to stew it into this cured meat. It's very nourishing. You're in luck, disciple."
Fang Zhou: "..."
He tossed the horsewhip back at Ling Xiaoyue, who caught it smoothly and tossed it back: "Keep it for me, this is good stuff, I'm not lying. Now go back and watch over Young Master Wang."
Fang Zhou glared at her fiercely, turned, and went back to Wang Minghong's room. Wang Minghong couldn't afford any mishaps tonight; otherwise, it would be hard to explain to Wang Fulai, especially after taking so much money from him.
