CH 395

With the crowd's support, Lv Xiucai arrived at the Drunken Immortal Tower.

He completely disregarded the fact that it was still morning, and a table full of dishes was brought out. As soon as the carved wine arrived, someone with good eyesight quickly poured wine for Lv Xiucai.

Lv Xiucai lifted the bowl and drank a big mouthful, once again attracting cheers from all around.

He couldn't see the disdain and dissatisfaction of the other diners at all.

"Lord Lv is amazing! Lord Lv is mighty!"

"Oh my, I've never had such a good alcohol tolerance. Lord Lv, can you teach me how to train?"

"What's so special about this? Back in the day, my master Li Huowang and I went to help the Qingqiu Emperor exorcise ghosts and catch demons. Look, this barrel of wine was this high, and I, Lord Lv, lifted it up and drank it all in one go!"

"Lord Lv, how did you and your master catch demons in Qingqiu? Please tell us!"

"Well, in Qingqiu, although there were no evil spirits outside, it was very dangerous underground. If it weren't for me taking care of my master, he might not have made it!"

While eating and drinking, Lv Xiucai told stories about his experiences in Qingqiu. Most of them were things he had heard from Dog Wa, but he placed himself as the protagonist.

Amidst the cheers, Lv Xiucai's face turned slightly flushed, and his tongue became less nimble, but he still felt unsatisfied.

When they had finished eating, Lv Xiucai waved his hand again and said, "Let's go! To Yanzi Alley! I'll pay for everything!"

The cheers grew even louder, almost flipping the roof over. The people around him became even more attentive, treating Lv Xiucai like a father. This made Lv Xiucai feel a satisfaction he had never experienced before.

When Lv Xiucai walked out of Yanzi Alley with a contented expression, it was already noon.

He wasn't hungry, as the specialty of Yanzi Alley was buying girls and serving donkey meat dumplings.

After a morning of wandering around, Lv Xiucai was tired and headed towards his place of residence.

In theory, someone like him wouldn't be able to rent a house in Yincheng City, but Lord Kui had connections and found a few guarantors.

The creaking sound of the door opening revealed a girl sitting by the well in the courtyard, washing clothes with skillful hands. She looked very diligent.

This woman was bought by Lv Xiucai with money and her name was Tao'er. She had an average appearance and a small butt, and she was cheap to buy.

Originally, Lv Xiucai intended to make her his wife, but after going to Yanzi Alley a few times, he no longer touched her.

He lay on the bed like a log, not as lively as the girls in the brothel.

Now she was just there to wash clothes and cook, serving as a maid.

Lv Xiucai lay down on the bed and immediately started snoring.

Tao'er stopped washing the clothes and picked up a wooden basin filled with hot water from the pot. She used a towel to wipe Lv Xiucai's face and body.

After wiping him clean, she bent down to help him take off his shoes and socks for a foot soak.

After everything was cleaned, she covered Lv Xiucai with a blanket and made sure the pillows were in place to prevent drafts. She also covered him with clothes.

When the sky outside gradually darkened, Lv Xiucai slowly woke up. He smelled the fragrance in the air and sat up, then sat at the table to have dinner.

While Lv Xiucai was eating, Tao'er wasn't allowed to sit at the table. She had to wait until he finished before she could eat the leftovers.

There were two dishes and a soup, and there was even a fried egg. The dishes were all cooked with lard. Lv Xiucai wouldn't have dared to dream of such a dinner in the past, but now he felt a bit disgusted.

After taking a big sip of winter melon soup and wiping his mouth with his sleeve, Lv Xiucai prepared to go to the gambling den to win some money. He had to hurry, or else he would be caught outside during curfew.

Just as he passed by Tao'er, Lv Xiucai suddenly noticed some blood on her pants, and his face instantly became extremely angry.

"Damn it! What's going on? Who dares to touch Lord Lv! I'll kill him!"

Tao'er shook her head slightly and spoke softly, "It's just that my period is a bit heavy, and I didn't catch it."

"What period? I'm asking you about the blood on your pants! Why are you talking to me about periods or not?"

After Tao'er explained in a low voice, Lv Xiucai finally understood that women bleed every month.

"So that's how it is. I remember when my sister-in-law was always secretive for a few days every month when she was singing. I asked her, and she scolded me."

Lv Xiucai touched his waist and stuffed some silver coins from the bottom of his bag into Tao'er's arms. Then he turned and left. "Buy meat for me tomorrow night. I don't want to eat leaves anymore! I'm tired of seeing leaves after eating them all the way!"

As he walked towards the gambling den, there were other gamblers as well. Yincheng City had a curfew at night, but as long as they stayed in the gambling den all night, it didn't matter if there was a curfew or not.

Just as Lv Xiucai arrived at Lord Kui's gambling den and took out the five copper coins Li Huowang had given him, shaking them in his hand with a proud expression, thinking that with his skills, he would never go hungry again.

But just as he was about to go to his usual spot, he was stopped by Lord Kui, who had a dragon tattoo on his shoulder. "Come, come, Lv Lang, don't be in a hurry to make money. I have something to discuss with you."

The two of them went to the small courtyard behind the gambling den, where a purple bronze hot pot was bubbling, and pieces of lamb had already been cut.

Lv Xiucai sat down and started eating, as he hadn't eaten enough at home. "Lord Kui, what's the matter? If you hadn't taken me in back then, you would be my benefactor!"

Lord Kui smiled and poured wine for Lv Xiucai. "Lv Lang, I heard that you used to follow a powerful expert?"

"Of course! My master! Li Huowang!! A legendary figure who can even reattach his head after it's been cut off! Those evil spirits and demons are only fit to be his side dishes!" Lv Xiucai patted his chest, making a loud sound. If someone didn't know, they would think he was talking about himself.

"Since Lv Lang followed such a powerful expert, you must be powerful too, right?""Hehehe~" Lv Xiucai picked up a piece of mutton and dipped it into the hot pot, then stuffed it into his mouth, boasting with satisfaction, "Not bad, right? I'm as good as my master, forty percent, no! Sixty percent as good!"

"Good! Indeed, heroes have always emerged from the young! I admire, I admire!"

Lv Xiucai laughed proudly. The famous Lord Kui was being so polite to him, which made him feel particularly honored. He had already planned how to brag about it to his brothers at the wine table tomorrow.

He didn't notice at all that Kui Sanjin, who was sitting across from him, was frowning in a pretentious manner. "Mr. Lv, I have a tricky problem here, could you help me out?"

"It's about a brother of mine, who has shared life and death with me. I don't know where he got unlucky, but he ran into some evil spirit and has become crazy. We've sought monks and Taoists, but none of them worked."

"If you, Mr. Lv, could really help me with this, then you can take eighty percent of the money we make in the future!"
