Chapter 170 A Prodigy? Aid My Cultivation!
Chapter 170 A Prodigy? Aid My Cultivation!
Chen You's lips twitched slightly as he looked at the lavish and decadent scene before him.
This Lord Mengde really knows how to enjoy life.
In the center of the training ground, Meng De roared and his broadsword flashed like a bolt of cold light, splitting a testing stone in two with a smooth, mirror-like cut.
"good!"
"May the City Lord be mighty!"
"Brother Meng is awesome!"
The surrounding women burst into enthusiastic cheers and laughter, and several bolder women even fed peeled grapes directly into Mengde's mouth.
Meng De laughed heartily, casually tossed his broadsword aside, and walked back to the recliner covered with soft animal hides, his muscular upper body bare, allowing several women to wipe his sweat.
His gaze swept across the entire room, finally settling on Chen You, who was being led in by the guards, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
"It's you." Meng De's voice became steady as he waved away the woman beside him.
"What did you find at the ancestral tomb?"
He remembered the young man.
That mysterious guy who brought Meng Xiao back and even took a knife from me.
Chen You did not answer the question about the ancestral tomb. That main quest was bound to be long and tedious, so it should be put on the back of the list.
Right now, all he wants to do is finish this ridiculous pre-quest for the dungeon as quickly as possible.
"There's no rush regarding the ancestral tombs," Chen You said calmly, his gaze fixed steadily on Meng De.
"Does the city lord still remember a woman named 'Cai Wenjuan'?"
The moment the words fell.
"Clang!"
A crisp sound.
The woman closest to Mengde, with her aloof demeanor and beauty resembling a snow lotus, accidentally dropped her jade wine cup, which shattered into pieces on the bluestone slab.
The wine splashed everywhere, soaking her skirt.
The smile on Meng De's face, which had been full of bravado, froze instantly, and a trace of panic and pain flashed in his eyes.
The atmosphere in the entire training ground became eerily quiet at that moment.
Chen You's gaze involuntarily drifted toward the woman who had lost her composure.
I had only glanced at it briefly before and hadn't paid it any attention.
Upon closer inspection, he realized that the woman's beauty was indeed extraordinary, and her aloof temperament was even more remarkable.
But deep within her eyes, there seemed to be something completely different from her outward appearance.
"Juan'er..."
Meng De's voice became somewhat dry, and he swallowed hard before slowly speaking.
"How...how is she?"
Judging from his nervous appearance, he seemed to care about Cai Wenjuan more than just a little.
Chen You thought to himself: Good heavens, it really is you, Mengde!
Qing'er ran off with her brother, and then she got a lover named Cai Wenjuan.
He's still embracing over a dozen beautiful women; this guy's fishpond management skills are truly impressive.
He took out the letter, which was faintly stained with tears, from his pocket.
"She asked me to give this to you."
Mengde's breath hitched, and he reached out his hand, his movements trembling slightly.
I reached out to receive the letter with utmost care, as if it were some priceless treasure.
However, his hand hadn't even touched the envelope yet.
"Whoosh!"
A fragrant breeze swept by, and the alluring woman beside her suddenly reached out and snatched the letter away!
"Brother Meng!" The woman's voice was shrill, filled with resentment and jealousy.
She clutched the letter tightly. "You still can't forget that bitch, can you?"
"With so many of us sisters by your side, are we really less valuable than some secondhand goods like her?!"
Having said that, before Mengde could react, she tore it open with both hands!
"Sizzle—"
The letter was instantly torn into pieces, which fluttered down.
Meng De's pupils constricted sharply, and he abruptly stood up from the recliner, roaring, "Mei'er! What are you doing!"
He tried to salvage the fragments, but it was too late.
The woman called Mei'er showed no fear; instead, she straightened her back and looked at Mengde with teary eyes.
"What am I supposed to do? Brother Meng, look at the state you're in!"
"When you were out there enduring hardship, she didn't utter a word. Now that you've become the city lord, she's writing back. Don't you know what she's really up to?!"
"Exactly! Sister Mei'er is right!"
"Brother Meng, that kind of woman isn't worth your time!"
The other women also chimed in, united in their indignation, surrounding Meng De and chattering about Cai Wenjuan's faults.
For a moment, the entire backyard seemed to have turned into a large-scale emotional trial.
Chen You stood to the side, arms crossed, watching the scene with great interest.
Goodness, the plot intensity has increased again.
The tragedy of the beloved (Qing'er, deceased) is still fresh in our minds, and the letter from the (fiancée) (Cai Wenjuan) was torn up by the current harem.
Brother Mengde is in a real mess.
He watched the play while quickly thinking.
In a normal game scenario, players would likely have to make a choice at this point.
Is it to help Mengde get rid of these women's entanglements and find Cai Wenjuan?
Or should we help these women so that Mengde can completely forget the past?
Different choices lead to different outcomes.
but……
Chen You snorted softly to himself.
"I'd like to see how much of what you're saying is true!"
The next second, Chen You silently recited in his mind.
"One can see a person's heart by observing their aura!"
In an instant, the world before my eyes changed dramatically!
The outlines of all objects became blurred, but the flow of life's essence was clearly presented in his vision.
The guard exuded the aura of a normal mortal, while Mengde's fortune was as powerful as fire, though mixed with a trace of dark gray resentment and regret.
Then, his gaze swept over the dozen or so beautiful women.
hum!
These women showed no trace of worldly human nature.
Beneath their human skin flowed streams of pink, bewitching demonic energy!
The demonic energy swirled and intertwined, forming an invisible net that was intricately binding Mengde's fortune, constantly drawing away his essence and luck!
Behind them, the ethereal silhouettes of fluffy fox tails appeared and disappeared, one tail, two tails...
Even the "Mei'er" who led the tearing up of the letter and the woman with a cold and aloof temperament both had three fox tails swaying slowly behind them!
They're all fox demons!
A bunch of fox spirits in human skin!
"Holy crap..."
Chen You was deeply shocked.
I only wanted to see if these people were lying, but I didn't expect to make such an unexpected discovery!
wrong!
This is not a matter of sincerity or pretense.
All that melodramatic love triangle, all that palace intrigue and jealousy—it's all fake!
This is nothing short of a demon's lair!
The argument continued inside the training ground.
"Brother Meng, say something! Do you still care about us?" Mei'er cried, her face streaked with tears, looking pitiful.
Mengde was driven to the brink of despair by their noise. Looking at the scraps of paper scattered on the ground, his face was filled with pain and struggle, and he was at a loss for what to do.
He was caught in a dilemma.
But in Chen You's eyes, all of this had completely changed.
He looked at the group of fox demons who were still "acting out" and his eyes gradually became strange.
These fox demons are generally between level 25 and 28, and the two three-tailed ones are even level 30 elite monsters.
For the average player...
If this were to happen, it would be a situation where nine out of ten people would die.
But for Chen You...
Just a little water.
Chen You couldn't help but smile upwards.
He looked at the group of fox demons who were still performing with great effort, and only one thought remained in his mind.
"Demon, I need your help in my cultivation!"
