Chapter 640 - 640 Netherworld Scholar
The crowd had been waiting until about two in the morning, but there was still no sign of the Netherworld Scholar. At this point, everyone had run out of patience, even Cui Yu was frowning deeply. This was too illogical, right? Could it be that the Netherworld Scholar wasn't going to make a move tonight?
"It's fuckin' two o'clock already, if he doesn't show up now, it's almost dawn!" Ghost King Li Ruoyuan said with a grave voice, "You all know this guy, when have you ever seen him this patient? So, you still plan to keep waiting? If he doesn't come, are we going to wait here all night long?"
Demon Queen He Qinghua was also frowning, speaking in a serious tone, "This is strange, it's been such a long time, why hasn't he come yet? This really isn't like him at all!"
"Maybe I should just go in!" Li Ruoyuan said, "Completely crush his hope, maybe he'll come after me for revenge once he sees this woman taken care of by me. Then, we wouldn't need to look for him, right?"
"Ghost King, don't be impulsive!" Cui Yu said in a stern voice, "We shouldn't fight amongst ourselves with such a formidable enemy before us. For the sake of one woman, it's not worth it!"
Li Ruoyuan glared and said, "Fuck, ever since I entered Shenchuan City, I've hardly touched a few women. Even that old hag He Qinghua has messed around with several men, are you trying to drive me crazy with frustration?!"
"You dead old ghost, what the hell are you saying?" He Qinghua immediately glared back at Li Ruoyuan and retorted, "What do you mean by that? What's this 'old lady played with a few men'? I call that being capable, are you jealous? If you have the gall, go hook up with a few yourself!"
Li Ruoyuan sneered, "Old banshee, take a look in the fucking mirror, check your age in the family registry book. How old are you, still trying to seduce young guys? Aren't you ashamed? I don't play these games. I go for the direct approach. How direct is that, have you ever seen me deceive anyone?"
He Qinghua, with one hand on her hip and the other pointing at Li Ruoyuan's nose, said, "What's wrong with deceiving people? What's wrong with seducing young guys? What I do is a skilled job, if you don't like it, try it yourself! Look at you, with that 'Old Bangzi' look, even if Pan Jinlian came along, she wouldn't spare you a glance!"
Enraged, Li Ruoyuan raised his hand and cursed, "You motherf..."
Before he could finish, a wooden box came flying across, blocking the space between him and He Qinghua.
"Cui Yulong, don't be a busybody!" Li Ruoyuan said gravely.
"Don't speak!" Cui Yulong frowned tightly, looking at the villa opposite, and said in a serious tone, "Don't you think something's off here?"
"What's off?" The three of them immediately looked over, with Cui Yu frowning even more, asking, "Yulong, what did you notice?"
"Those two have been back in their room for almost four hours now. But, not a single light in that room has gone off," Cui Yulong said seriously. "Did that fat guy have the stamina for it?"
The three exchanged glances and simultaneously charged out from behind the flower bed. Ghost King Li Ruoyuan was the fastest, cackling as he rushed straight to the entrance. With a single press of his hand on the door, it swung open.
"Yulong, guard the back!" Cui Yu shouted sternly.
Before he could speak, Cui Yulong had already sprinted to the back of the villa. Cui Yu and He Qinghua charged through the front door. The downstairs hall was deserted, but upstairs, the sounds of a woman's lusty moans continued, suggesting an intense action going on inside.
After exchanging looks, Cui Yu and the others didn't need to say it; this was clearly beyond what the nouveau riche could manage. His body was worn out, how could he have the energy for this?
"Heh heh heh..." Li Ruoyuan laughed wickedly and was the first to reach the second floor. Just as he got there, he saw a fat man lying on the ground, tightly bound with rope, his mouth stuffed with a pair of stinky socks, making muffled noises but unable to speak.
The fat man had a perfect view into the room, where a completely naked woman was riding on top of a young man, galloping up and down, with her hands constantly roaming over her own body. Her expression had reached the point of confusion and self-forgetfulness; she hadn't even noticed the three people who had come in, just kept screaming loudly, as if completely absorbed in the pleasure.
The nouveau riche could clearly see the situation in the room, so he was almost glowing with excitement. If he could get up, he would surely rush in and fight that man!
Seeing this scene in the room, Li Ruoyuan couldn't help swallowing his saliva, his eyes kept sweeping over the woman's graceful figure.
"Heh heh heh..." He Qinghua chuckled coldly, her eyes flashing with a hint of murderous intent as she watched the woman, much like the first time she saw Lin Mengjie. It seemed she held animosity towards all beautiful women.
Cui Yu was more composed as he looked at the man inside the room and said, "Netherworld Scholar, since you've come to Eastern Province, why didn't you seek me out in the teahouse? You should know that the people of the Xihang Shen Family are about to enter Shenchuan City. Our dispute with the Xihang Shen Family needs to be settled once and for all!"
The young man inside the room, was he actually the Netherworld Scholar?
Based on Cui Yu and his people's ages, the Netherworld Scholar would be among the same class of experts, so he should at least be in his thirties or forties. However, this Netherworld Scholar appeared to be in his twenties, entirely the appearance of a youth. Moreover, he was exceedingly handsome, the kind of man that would make a woman fall in love at first sight. How could such a man bear the title of Netherworld Scholar?
The Netherworld Scholar's hands gently brushed over the lady's snowy, slender thighs, and he sneered, "Judge Cui, after ten years, I thought you would have become wiser. Unexpectedly, you're still as naive as ever. Do you really think that by obtaining the Blood Assassination Order, you've become the Sect Leader of Sha Men? Do you really believe that with the Blood Assassination Order, you can order the people of Sha Men around? Unlike that Ghost King or Demon Queen, I, the Netherworld Scholar, won't rush to Shenchuan City to meet you just because of your words!"
Upon hearing this, the Demon Queen and Ghost King were immediately enraged. Ghost King Li Ruoyuan slammed the table, angered, "Netherworld Scholar, don't be too arrogant. Others may fear you, but I, Li Ruoyuan, do not. I, Li Ruoyuan, went to the teahouse for the sake of Sha Men, because I couldn't swallow the grudge from being chased by the Xihang Shen Family in the past, and I went to seek revenge. Humph, aside from the Sect Leader, no one else can order the Ghost King Li Ruoyuan around!"
Demon Queen He Qinghua gave a cold smile and said, "Netherworld Scholar, you talk a good game, but in the end, you still entered Eastern Province. What is it, are you here for sightseeing?"
"You're right!" The Netherworld Scholar coldly smiled, casually picked up a photo from beside him, and threw it over. Although the photo was made of paper, it flew straight into Demon Queen He Qinghua's hands as if not hindered by the force of the wind.
Demon Queen He Qinghua looked at the photo and was taken aback; the photo actually depicted a stunningly beautiful woman. However, she quickly furrowed her brows, because she recognized the woman.
"I came for her!" the Netherworld Scholar laughed, "I've heard she's from Eastern Province. I, the Netherworld Scholar, have seen countless women in my life, but I've never seen such a breathtaking beauty. He Qinghua, do you know the identity of this woman?"
"Hehehe..." Demon Queen He Qinghua let out a cold laugh and said, "Netherworld Scholar, this time, I fear you've met your match. Even if you've seen countless women, you won't be able to handle this one!"
"In this world, there's no woman that I, the Netherworld Scholar, can't handle!" the Netherworld Scholar sneered. "Just tell me where she is. In no more than three days, I'll make her kneel at my feet and become my slave!"
"Is that so?" He Qinghua sneered even more, "Netherworld Scholar, I'm just afraid that instead of taking her as your slave, you might lose your life first!"
The Netherworld Scholar immediately furrowed his brows, looked at He Qinghua with cold eyes, and spoke gravely, "What do you mean by that?"
"Haven't you heard?" He Qinghua smiled and said, "There are two enchantresses in Eastern Province, one is Xikou Fire Butterfly, also known as Chen Si of the surviving Chen Family!"
The Netherworld Scholar cut her off, "I know, that woman looks quite charming, but she practices the Iron Sand Palm with Helian Tiehua, making her hands rougher than a farmer's, utterly wasting her good looks. She's not my type!"
If Ye Qing were here, he would undoubtedly be surprised. He had crossed hands with the Fire Butterfly before—a fearsome move, a powerful Palm Force, originally due to the practice of Iron Sand Palm. No wonder her hands were so coarse; for a girl to practice Iron Sand Palm really was quite tough!
Ghost King Li Ruoyuan coldly laughed, "What is it? Do you not like her, or are you afraid of White Horse Chen San or Ao Wuchang from Shu?"
The Netherworld Scholar's face slightly changed, but he quickly returned to his usual demeanor, arrogantly laughing, "Hmph, of those people, only Helian Tiehua is worthy of my attention. The others are not worth mentioning!"
Li Ruoyuan scoffed, "Netherworld Scholar, don't flatter yourself. I don't mean to disrespect you, but even if you live for another one hundred years, you won't catch the General of Meng District's eye. To deal with you, White Horse Chen San alone is enough!"
The Netherworld Scholar's face grew icy, and just as he was about to speak, He Qinghua at his side casually said, "Are you not curious about the woman in the picture?"
The Netherworld Scholar instantly changed from anger to happiness, anxious to know, "Who is she?"
"She is the other enchantress of Eastern Province, East State Poisonous Mantis…" He Qinghua locked eyes with the Netherworld Scholar, enunciating each word, "Huangfu Ziyu!"
At these words, the Netherworld Scholar was visibly taken aback, but soon he laughed loudly, "Good! Good! Good! This is more like it! Such women are challenging, and I like that. Huangfu Ziyu, Huangfu Ziyu, what a great name, truly fitting with this photograph. Hahaha, it seems this trip to Eastern Province was not in vain after all!"
"Of course, you didn't come here for nothing!" He Qinghua coldly laughed, "Huangfu Ziyu is the last remaining offshoot of the Huangfu Household. If you can take her under your command, then, Netherworld Scholar, I, He Qinghua, will concede to you for life."
