  The final battle is about to begin, and the four fools see that Zhou Xuan still doesn't seem to want to use that female insect. They find it strange and urgent, asking: "We're about to enter the arena, where's your ultimate move?"

  Zhou Xuan smiled slightly, pouring out the female insect from the bamboo tube, and plucking off its left wing. The base of the wing immediately oozed with a sticky liquid.

  Zhou Xuan applied the plasma to "Mo Bu De's" head and back wings, then said: "Old Fourth, release this female insect. It is a great contributor to 'Mo Bu De' winning the championship."

  Four eyes stared blankly, unable to understand what Zhou Xuan meant by doing this.

  At the second watch of Si time, with a clear and crisp sound of a stone chime, the annual Hongzhou Chongyang Festival insect fighting championship began. The odds for both sides were: "Tiger Crazy Xu Chu" 10 to 7, "Can't Touch" 10 to 9.

  Zhou Xuan used a mouse whisker to tease the tail of "Mo Bu De" before putting it into the Dou Pan, making "Mo Bu De" cry out first.

  As soon as the gate was opened, "Mo Bu De" angrily searched for an opponent everywhere. The "Tiger Madman Xu Chu" under the instigation of his master Gan Ning, let out a loud roar and charged forward with his sharp white teeth bared in a fierce bite.

  The broad-headed "Tiger Crazy Xu Chu" was interrupted in its cry, very annoyed, and swung up the deep blue giant pincers to glare at the enemy. Just as the two were about to clash, "Tiger Crazy Xu Chu" suddenly shrunk back quickly, avoiding the "untouchable" fangs.

  "Uncontrollable" rushed up, Zhang Ya bit again, "Tiger Crazy Xu Chu" flashed by once more, but still didn't return the bite.

  So one chased and the other fled. As long as "Mo Bu De" didn't show its fangs, "Hu Chi Xu Chu" would retreat with its tail between its legs, not daring to fight back, being chased until it was utterly exhausted.

  In the circular insect arena, hundreds of insect spectators shouted in unison. Those who had bet on "Tiger-crazy Xu Chu" yelled: "This insect fight is a ghostly trick! There's cheating going on! This is a fake fighting insect! It's being manipulated from behind the scenes!"

  "Jinfeng Society" boss personally presided over this insect fight, hearing the dissatisfied shouts, first signaled to the insect friends to calm down. Then separated the two insects and invited several senior insect friends from Hongzhou to identify them. No abnormalities were found in either of the two insects, so they had no choice but to announce that the final battle would continue.

  That rich old man was anxious: "What's going on with my precious insect? In the past, it was invincible and fearless. Why is it afraid of this insignificant black-backed insect?" Suddenly, a fierce gust of wind blew, and "Tiger-Crazy Xu Chu" appeared.

  "Hu Chi Xu Chu" angrily shouted, at this time also heard the cry of "Mo Bu De", immediately swung up the deep blue thick back knife, and rushed forward. Just about to merge with "Mo Bu De", but suddenly hesitated a bit, retreating was not an option, advancing was not an option either——

  "Unapproachable" How can it be allowed to hesitate in the face of an opponent, the teeth and claws cooperate "Tiger Crazy Xu Chu" single tooth, fiercely shake off "Tiger Crazy Xu Chu", immediately pounce on its abdomen is a heavy bite.

  If he gets bitten now, then "Tiger-Crazy Xu Chu" will either die or lose his fighting strength!

  "Hu Chi Xu Chu" was after all a lieutenant general-level fierce insect, "can't touch" although the words were quick, it was still swiftly dodged by it, only its right front leg was grazed by the sharp teeth, that leg became slightly lame.

  "Hu Chi Xu Chu" went crazy, having fought over 70 battles since his debut. He had never lost before, and had bitten to death more than 40 opponents without suffering a single scratch himself. Who would have thought that today he would suffer such a great loss? He swung his deep blue large knife fiercely, no longer hesitating in the slightest.

  This insect war has been going on for a long time, and the two insects are both strong and powerful, coming and going, chasing each other in full swing. Those insect friends who previously said "there's a trick, fake fighting" have already shut their mouths. This is truly a rare top-level insect battle. The power and speed of the biting are unmatched by the previous ones.

  "The tiger's madness Xu Chu" that injured leg ultimately affected the outcome of the decisive battle, although it was invincible. But "untouchable" also has lieutenant general-level strength, and the difference in strength between the two insects is extremely small. "Tiger's madness Xu Chu" was strangely injured first, and its agility was discounted a bit, reflected in the combination of the two insects' teeth, it was often taken advantage of by "untouchable", and was overturned twice in a row, although "untouchable" was also overturned once by it, but "tiger's madness Xu Chu" was still at a disadvantage.

  The peak duel involving tens of thousands of taels of silver ended with "untouchable" winning, and "Tiger-crazy Xu Chu" came in second. The rich old man couldn't figure out why "Tiger-crazy Xu Chu" was so afraid of his opponent at the beginning.

  "Jinfeng Society" was indeed impressive, and they actually invited Chen Xuan, the governor of Hongzhou, to present the award to the insect fighting champion. Governor Chen smiled and said: "Zhou Gongzi's literary talent is outstanding, but I didn't expect his insect-raising skills to be so remarkable, it really makes us people from Hongzhou look up to him!"

  Zhou Xuanxi won the first prize of 1,500 taels of silver and another 2,500 taels of silver from betting, it can be said that he made a fortune. When he left Jiangzhou, he only let Lai Fu bring 300 taels of silver, now it has become 7,000 taels, "untouchable" is indeed a money tree, a treasure basin!

  When Zhou Xuan went on stage to receive the grand prize, hundreds of insect friends at the scene discussed it enthusiastically, saying that this Jiangzhou person had taken all the advantages, won the first beauty of Hongzhou, and now also won the first place in the Chongyang Festival insect war, winning a lot of silver, making people jealous, too jealous!

  Four fools were overjoyed, holding "untouchable" in high esteem, winning the silver was secondary, "untouchable" winning was what made four fools most happy, this is the true insect fool, Zhou Xuan can't compare.

  To add to San Chai and Si Chai's joy, Zhou Xuan said: "Next time we go, I'll give you a precious gift for free, as a celebration."

  Xi Yangyang, nao hao hao, Zhou Xuan and his group returned to the governor's mansion, deciding to set off for Jiangzhou tomorrow. They had played enough and earned enough money, now they missed their little wives at home.

  On September 11th in the morning, Chen Ji and Sun brothers saw off Zhou Xuan and his party at the floating bridge, came to the West Suburbs Long Pavilion, set wine to bid farewell.

  Chen Ji said, "Brother Zhou, I also plan to go to the capital next year to watch the Lantern Festival chess match. You are going with the judge of Fenghua Prefecture, if you have confirmed the departure date, please send someone to inform me, and I will prepare to meet you in Jiangzhou and travel together to the capital."

  The Sun brothers said: "Brother Zhou, you should hurry up and establish the Yuan She in Jiangzhou. My brother and I are looking forward to joining Brother Zhou's 'Yuan She' to conquer all directions."

  Zhou Xuan smiled and agreed, but wanted to fill in a verse to express the feeling of parting. Unfortunately, Liu Yong's "Rainy Bell" was slightly inconsistent with the current situation, what "Longing place, orchid boat urging departure... thinking of going thousands of miles of smoke and waves, dusk sinking vast Chu sky". They were riding horses and carriages, not boats. Moreover, Hongzhou and Jiangzhou both belonged to ancient Wu State, not Chu. There was no way, so they had to reluctantly give up.

  Chen Ji sent a governor's carriage to take Xiao Mei away. After leaving the Long Pavilion, her sworn brothers saw her off for a long distance, reluctant to part with each other.

  Zhou Xuan said: "Brother Chen, two Sun brothers, please go back, our good brothers will meet soon."

  Zhou Xuan rode his horse a long way out. Turning back to look, Chen Ji and Sun Shi brothers were still reining in their horses, motionless for a long time.

  The carriage of the governor's mansion was a double-yoke cart, pulled by two big bay horses. In the front compartment sat Yang Xiaoyin, and in the rear compartment were more than 7,000 taels of silver.

  Si Chai preferred gold, so he exchanged the 9,000 taels of silver for 900 taels of gold and carried it on his back. In those days, there were no silver notes. Having a lot of money was really tiring.

  Lai Fu laughed and said, "Brother-in-law, look at us this time we've made a big fortune, won so much silver..." He pointed to the carriage and lowered his voice, saying, "And there's also a beauty, it's really a full load on our return."

  "Guard against arrogance and impetuosity, continue to work hard."

  The four fools couldn't help but burst out laughing.

  Zhou Xuan said, "Old Fourth. When we get back, the two of us will have to compete in tea-making, after all these days together, we've already become friends, it's really unbearable for friends to fight and hurt each other, how about we just don't compete anymore, let's just leave it like this."

  "You're afraid of losing in a tea fight with me, huh? Well, I'm going to make you lose this time. You've been gloating long enough."

  Zhou Xuan said, "Old Fourth, I understand what you mean. You can't bear to leave 'Mo Bu De'. So you must have a tea fight with me and lose to me. This way, you can stay by my side and take care of 'Mo Bu De' for me. I'll fulfill your wish and let you be my tea servant and insect servant."

  Si Chou angrily said: "Zhou Xuan, I'm telling you, if I win, I not only want to take away my third brother, but also 'Mo Bu De', both will be lost to me."

  Zhou Xuan said to San Chi: "Jian Nu, you listen, your younger brother is comparing you with an insect, it's really not like a proper conversation."

  Three foolish men ride horses in a hurry.

  Zhou Xuan and Si Chou argued all the way, making the journey quite enjoyable. This time, with Yang Xiaoyin accompanying them in the carriage, they didn't travel as quickly as before. The group stopped to rest at a guesthouse in Suojia Village that night, booking five rooms, one for each person.

  Weary from the journey, Zhou Xuan had just washed up and was about to go to bed when he heard a faint knock at the door. He opened it to find Yang Xiaojin standing under the bright moonlight, her beauty unmatched, with the night wind blowing her skirt and sleeves fluttering as if Chang'e, the Moon Goddess, had descended upon the mortal world.

  Zhou Xuan's heart skipped a beat, and his throat felt a bit dry as he asked, "Xiao Chen, is something wrong?"

  Yang Xiao Chen didn't say a word or move, just standing there, only her long eyelashes blinking on and off.

  Zhou Xuan scratched his head and stepped back two steps, saying: "Come in, it's late at night and the autumn air is cool, don't catch a chill."

  Yang Xiaoyin quickly walked in and turned back to close the door.

  Zhou Xuan's throat was a bit tight, and his heart was racing like a virgin's, "What's wrong, little Qin? Tell me, you should have some understanding of me by now. I'm a very easy-going person, don't worry about the uncertainty of your future, I'll treat you well..."

  At this point, Zhou Xuan felt that something was off. This was practically a genuine confession! In the past, when coaxing girls, they would say things like this, but Yang Xiaoqin is only thirteen years old, bro, watch your words!

  Never had he expected that Yang Xiaojin would listen to his words, suddenly take off her embroidered shoes and climb onto the bed, sitting with her face inward and back outward.

  Looking at her sitting posture, her black long hair, snow-white back of the neck, and thin autumn shirt wrapping around her slender waist and small buttocks were extremely tempting. He couldn't help but feel a surge of saliva in his mouth, and his palms grew hot with desire. He really wanted to push her onto the bed, but thinking about it, he still had to hold back - thirteen years old was beyond his moral bottom line; at least fifteen would be better. "Little Qin, what are you doing? You like sleeping in this room, so I'll switch with you, and I'll go sleep next door."

  Zhou Xuan reluctantly walked towards the door, every step felt like a thousand pounds.

  "Master..." The voice came from the bed, and if it weren't for the quiet night in the countryside, Zhou Xuan's keen hearing would have almost missed it.

  Zhou Xuan walked back in front of the bed and asked her a question, but she didn't answer again.

  Zhou Xuan suddenly thought, "Was Wei Jue also like this and made her attend to him in bed before?" As soon as she thought of this, she felt a bad taste in her heart and said, "Xiao Chen, I am not Wei Jue. I won't make a little girl like you attend to me in bed. You can go back to your own room."

  Who would have thought that with these words, Yang Xiaoyin suddenly burst into tears and said three words: "I didn't..."

  Zhou Xuan didn't understand what was wrong with her, seeing her cry so sadly, he couldn't help but feel pity for her. He took off his shoes and got onto the bed to sit beside her, gently stroking her fragrant shoulders, saying in a low voice: "Didn't I say it already? I'm not good at this sort of thing, I'm really not good at it, I don't need you to serve me in bed."

  Tears streaming down her face, she choked out four words: "Really didn't have..."

  Zhou Xuan finally came back to his senses and asked: "Are you saying that you have never served Wei Jue in bed?"

  Yang Xiaoyin nodded.

  Although Zhou Xuan was not a paranoid virgin, he felt a little relieved at this time. If such a beautiful jade were to be ruined by Wei Jue, it would be a pity. He said, "Then I'm even more unable to let you serve in the bedroom. Am I inferior to Wei Jue?"

  Zhou Xuan meant to say that she was still young, but Yang Xiaojin misunderstood and burst into tears, stuttering: "A-all said no, why don't you believe me!" Speaking such a long sentence, Yang Xiaojin had never spoken more than ten sentences in her life, it was truly heartbreaking, crying like a lotus flower in the rain, which only added to her beauty.

  Zhou Xuan gently held her in his arms and comforted her, saying: "I'm not saying I don't believe you, it's just that you're too young. A girl is considered an adult at fifteen when she wears her hair up, but you're only thirteen."

  Yang Xiaoyin's crying gradually weakened, and she lay in Zhou Xuanhuai's arms, sobbing softly.

  Zhou Xuan coaxed the child by gently patting her back and speaking softly, after a while, she heard that the child had stopped crying, looked down:

  Eyelashes closed, breathing softly, Little Lamb has fallen asleep!
