Volume 1 Chapter 75: Wanli Pursues the Spirit
"New rain, where is here?"
As they were led by Geng Xinyu through the twists and turns of the Biyuan Wang City, passing through countless small alleys, and entering a room in an alleyway that leaned against a mountain, Jiang Cheng asked a question.
"Go inside and talk, there are so many problems!" Geng Xinyu pushed Jiang Cheng and Hou Pan into the small courtyard, then scolded Jiang Cheng: "You little brat looking for a fight, do you want to call sister over? A 16-year-old kid, still calling me Xinyu, no respect at all!"
"Am I a hairy kid?" Jiang Cheng pointed to his own nose, revealing an astonished expression, straightened up his body and shook his waist. "Look at me, where do I look like a hairy kid? In our tribe, boys like me can already be fathers!"
When he met two young people, Jiang Cheng's youthful nature, which had been suppressed in his bones, also thoroughly burst out.
"Smells so good?" Jiang Cheng walked into the house, sniffing and taking a few deep breaths. A faint fragrance wafted into his nostrils, making him feel a sudden jolt throughout his body.
"Yes, it smells great in this house, New Rain Sister, whose house is this?" asked Hou Pan.
The next moment, Geng Xinyu swung a punch at Hou Pan's nose. "Why bother so much? If it wasn't for saving you, would I have to resort to such a miserable escape to this old nest that nobody knows about?"
"Is this your... boudoir?"
Jiang Cheng's words made Geng Xin Yu's face flush again, "So many useless questions, are you staying or not?"
Geng Xinyu paused for a moment, then said: "You wait, I'll go get something!" Before leaving the door, Geng Xinyu turned back and said: "You'd better take care of your paws, if you dare to rummage through things randomly, be careful that I'll stomp on them!"
"Hou Pan, now tell me, what's going on? Why are your own family members trying to kill you, and how does this relate to me?" Jiang Cheng asked Hou Pan carefully after Geng Xinyu left.
A bitter smile appeared on Hou Pan's face, "This is mainly related to Hou Yulon's identity."
"What's Hou Yulon's identity? Even if he is the eldest son of the family, what does it matter? I'm the one who killed him, and you have Xin Yu as a witness, how can they still hold you accountable?" Jiang Cheng's mind was filled with doubts, this matter was too bizarre.
"Hou Yulung is actually not the eldest son of the family, but the orthodox bloodline. However, at the time when the Hou Mansion was changing hands, an unexpected death of a member of the orthodox bloodline made him a strong contender for the position of several family heads, and he declared to his clansmen that they would protect their clansmen with the most determination."
Jiang Cheng still didn't understand, "What does that have to do with anything? I killed him in the mountains, how can they find evidence on me, and how can they make you not tolerate me within the family?"
"Even if they want revenge, the Beihun Mountains are so vast, how can they find me?"
"Besides, why was Hou Yulong killed? Didn't you tell them?"
Hou Pan's face suddenly flushed with shame, "I said so, but they didn't care about these things. In their view, even if the direct descendants of the Hou family did something wrong, it wasn't something others could kill them for!"
"As for how to find you, originally in normal circumstances, even if the Hou family wanted revenge and went crazy, they would absolutely not be able to find you. But because of my war soul, this matter has changed." said Hou Pan Dao.
Jiang Cheng was taken aback, "What is your war soul?"
"Swift Wind Spirit Dog." Hou Pan replied.
Jiang Cheng's eyebrows furrowed again: "Disease Wind Spirit Hound, a mid-grade Yellow Stage war soul, should be said to be a fairly ordinary war soul, what's going on?"
"The Galewind Spirit Hound's combat soul is quite ordinary, but this guy has somehow managed to grasp an extraordinary innate skill by sheer luck. And before that, he had been flaunting it for all to see; otherwise, he wouldn't have ended up in his current predicament." Geng Xinyu's voice came from outside the door.
" Innate Secret Technique?" Jiang Cheng was suddenly shocked, his gaze towards Hou Pan changed abruptly. Innate secret techniques were extremely rare, but each and every one of them was incredibly awesome.
For example, Jiang Cheng's 'Pig King Rampage' has the power to change the course of battle at critical moments. As for Song Lan's innate secret technique, it can even transform the energy of plants and trees into a life-giving force that determines life and death, flesh and bone.
What kind of innate secret skills will this Hou Pan possess?
His innate secret technique was his nose, anything he had smelled, even if it was hundreds or thousands of miles away, he could slowly track down by following the scent. Moreover, as long as he had smelled a scent, he would not forget it for a very long time. The Hou family gave this innate secret technique a very powerful name - Wanli Zhui Ling!
Geng Xinyu slammed the large amount of ham sausage meat he had just bought onto the table, "It's also because of his Wanli Zhui Ling secret skill that those who want to compete for the position of Houfu Family Master have been forcing him to lead the way and kill you to avenge Hou Yulong."
"The worst thing is that Hou Pan is too stubborn, he'd rather die than betray you. He's willing to lead the way to chase and kill you, but he won't listen to me and find a scapegoat to settle this matter."
Geng Xinyu paused for a moment, then continued: "Moreover, it's not that those guys who are fighting for the position of head of the household have gone crazy. To show off their ability to protect the clan, they are actually dealing with internal conflicts within the Hou Manor!"
"New Rain!" When Geng Xin Yu said this, Hou Pan's face suddenly turned bright red.
"Go, those shameless old men can do it, what's wrong with you who haven't done it yet!"
"The situation is actually very simple. Hou Yulon is the illegitimate child of the current head of the Hou family, Hou Zhengjun, and one of his deceased nieces or daughters-in-law. Since Hou Zhengjun had no other children in his lifetime, he placed great importance on Hou Yulon."
Suddenly, Hou Yulung died. Naturally, he was extremely resentful towards the person who killed his son. So, he secretly gave an order that whoever could avenge Hou Yulung's death would be recommended by him to take over as the next head of the household!
Geng Xinyu said in one breath, then he arranged the bought sauce meat on the table, and with a magical move, he found several jars of wine from under the bed. He raised a jar and said: "The gratitude for saving my life that day, I'll first thank you with this wine. I'm Geng Xinyu, and I owe you a life!"
"Brother Jiang, I, Hou Pan, owe you a life! Let me offer you... a toast!" Since there was no bowl nearby, Hou Pan directly raised the vat.
Looking at the two people holding up their wine jars to toast themselves, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but reveal a hint of bitter smile. He had just sobered up after all. However, Jiang Cheng still raised his own wine jar.
To be honest, Jiang Cheng didn't expect so many twists and turns in this matter, but as for Hou's refusal to lead the way, he was extremely pleased, it was quite to his taste!
"Come and eat, I know you haven't had dinner, this is the hundred-year-old brand of sauce beef from Biyuan Wangcheng!" Geng Xinyu also stepped on a stool with one foot, eating large chunks of meat while frequently raising her cup to Jiang Cheng, if not for that fiery figure, she was a complete tomboy.
"Brother Jiang, great kindness doesn't need thanks, let me toast you another round..."
"Jiang Cheng, you should call me sister! However, you're quite generous and righteous. Come on, I'll toast to you with a whole jar..."
"Today I can see you again, Jiang Xiao Di, I'm so excited that I almost went crazy, no need to feel guilty for the rest of my life, let's do it!"
"Come on, let's have another toast..."
Frequently clinking cups, Jiang Cheng got drunk again, dazed and confused, Jiang Cheng actually wanted to learn from the past martial artists' feats of using internal energy to force down liquor.
But he almost pierced his own stomach with spiritual power and didn't squeeze out a single drop of wine.
In a daze, Jiang Cheng fell over again, and for the second time on his first day in Biyuan Wang City.
Jiang Cheng woke up again when it was already a starry night, and he didn't know how many hours had passed.
Perhaps due to his strong cultivation, Jiang Cheng also sobered up especially quickly. When he woke up, Hou Pan was still sleeping under the table and Geng Xinyu had not been found yet.
After squeezing those two soft and fluffy things in his hand a few times, the astonishing tactile sensation made Jiang Cheng suddenly break out in a cold sweat.
Jiang Cheng only then discovered that Geng Xin Yu was being held in his arms and sleeping on the bed, but her clothes were still relatively intact.
Jiang Cheng could imagine that perhaps after he passed out, Geng Xin Yu had also passed out while putting him to bed. So when Jiang Cheng woke up, Geng Xin Yu's upper body was slanting on top of his, and Jiang Cheng was hugging him tightly with both hands coincidentally pressing on Geng Xin Yu's turbulent waves.
Especially when he had just woken up, Jiang Cheng took advantage of the situation and pinched a few more times. The soft touch made Jiang Cheng instantly erect, and he directly pressed against Geng Xin Yu's plump buttocks through his clothes.
The Soul Warrior's clothes were relatively thin, and in an instant, the extremely soul-stirring feeling spread throughout Jiang Cheng's entire body.
With great effort, Jiang Cheng suppressed the urge to move and gently moved his hand away, placing Geng Xinyu's delicate body on the bed. He then rushed out of the door, taking big gulps of the cool night air outside, trying to calm down the burning sensation in his lower abdomen.
Jiang Cheng then somewhat understood why those Soul Masters would take so many wives. This blood energy was too vigorous, and it seemed that the demand in this aspect was also extremely strong.
Jiang Cheng didn't know that when he took his hand away and put Geng Xin Yu on the bed, Geng Xin Yu's slender body trembled inexplicably twice. When Jiang Cheng turned around to leave, Geng Xin Yu's pretty face suddenly flushed bright red.
Taking a deep breath of the cool air to calm down the turbulent blood and energy inside, Jiang Cheng casually took out an animal skin mat and sat cross-legged in the courtyard, starting his cultivation.
One day's delay in spiritual practice is one day too many!
The divine thought fell on the War Soul Frost Dragon's edge, and at the moment when it drove the nine War Soul Beads, an inexplicable feeling suddenly rose up.
It's almost the last day of this week, come on!
Thank you for the rewards from Da Huang Shan Ye Ling, 123 San Mao, Heng Qian Jun and three brothers, thank you for your support, brothers!
