Chapter 2886: Chapter 2887: Priceless

In the forbidden land of Cliff Village, Kuai Zheng knelt respectfully before a man in white robes. The man emitted a holy white glow, making it impossible to clearly see his face, and Kuai Zheng dared not raise his head to offend him.

"You are my immortal servants, so naturally, I will take care of you. As for outsiders, this goes against the rules of the Immortal World. My affairs cannot be known too much by mortals, so I can only punish your granddaughter for this," the man in white said.

"Please, Immortal Family, calm your anger. Xianxian knows nothing, that girl cannot settle down and loves to babble, which is why I instructed that she must not be told anything. Even when she’s outside, she can’t reveal much, let alone lead anyone here," Kuai Zheng hurriedly said.

"Hmph, how do you explain the previous outsiders? Were they not led here by her?" the man in white asked.

"This..." Kuai Zheng was anxious in his heart, "Please bring her back, we’ll certainly give her a good lesson."

The man in white gave a cold snort, flicked his sleeves, and disappeared without saying whether to capture her or not, which made Kuai Zheng even more uneasy.

Once he left the forbidden land, he immediately gathered the entire village to worship the "Immortal Family." The entire Cliff Village spent the day burning incense and worshipping their Immortal.

On a distant mountain, the man in white raised his head to inhale the white smoke into his belly, licking his lips with satisfaction, looking extremely content.

"Not bad, the taste of reverence has thickened," he said softly.

"Master, this time it’s all my fault; I was careless," the little black demon said on its knees, trembling with fear.

The man in white curled his lips, "No matter, I finally saw those eyes. Just smelling the Qi was delicious, almost couldn’t resist."

He chuckled softly, "The best must be saved for last. Go on, continue staying in the Sun Residence."

"But they already suspect the songstress." The little black demon worriedly said.

The man in white snorted coldly, "Being with me for so long, didn’t you learn anything smart? There are many people in the Sun Residence, can’t you switch to another?"

"Yes, yes, this little demon is dimwitted." The little black demon quickly kowtowed, but the man in white, displeased, flicked his sleeve and sent it tumbling down the cliff.

It stumbled and yelled all the way down the mountain, eventually sneaking back into Sun Zhou’s residence.

...

At night, Jiang Yichun was sent to the soft lounge to sleep, Bai Ruozhu’s reason being not to disturb her and the child as they rested.

Knowing she was still mad, he could only obediently comply and move to the side.

She soon fell asleep with Dengdeng, while he lay on the soft lounge opposite, staring blankly at mother and child. They say wife, child, and a warm bed; he had the wife, child, and bed, yet he wasn’t in the bed.

Early the next morning, Bai Ruozhu got up to have breakfast with Little Dengdeng when Ao Song came rushing like the wind.

"Ruozhu, was it you who did it?" Ao Song kept raising his eyebrows at her, with a very smug expression.

"What’s going on?" Bai Ruozhu was puzzled.

"It’s about Sun Zhou going around..." Ao Song’s voice trailed off as she noticed Little Dengdeng, grinning sheepishly. "The child’s here, I’ll tell you later."

Little Dengdeng wasn’t happy to hear that, "I’m not a kid anymore, just say it, maybe I can help."

"Grandpa..." Ao Song laughed, poking Little Dengdeng’s head with a finger, "Grandpa, eat your meal properly and grow taller before saying anything."

Bai Ruozhu had already guessed what it was about. Didn’t Sun Zhou say men were all lustful? So she used a potion on Sun Zhou to make him even more lustful, causing an uproar within three days, making everyone want to kill him.

Soon after, Jianqi came to report, "Master, Gao De requests an audience."

"Take him to the hall, I’ll be there shortly." Bai Ruozhu said, giving Little Dengdeng half a bowl of porridge. "Finish this then go play with Grandpa and Grandma, okay?"

"Alright then," Little Dengdeng said reluctantly.

Bai Ruozhu smiled, patting his head. Even though he’s very clingy now, in a few years he’ll surely prefer to go out and find her annoying.

After sending off Little Dengdeng, Bai Ruozhu and Ao Song went to the hall.

Gao De rose to greet them, "Lady Bai, something happened with Sun Zhou. He’s now publicly claiming you did something to him, saying if you could drug him, you could control more people through the Medical Alliance."

He seemed to have rushed over, sweat beading on his forehead.

Bai Ruozhu scoffed, "He’s quite the talker. Hasn’t he filed an imperial decree this time?"

Gao De paled a few shades, "Imperial decree? I don’t know about that."

"Gao De, you’re more familiar with Xunyang City. Do you know any rumors about Sun Zhou? For instance, how is his relationship with his wife, or whether he has a mistress?" Bai Ruozhu asked.

"Lady Sun is from a military family, very formidable, and everyone says Sun Zhou is afraid of his wife. What he did yesterday..." Gao De glanced at Ao Song, too embarrassed to say directly.

"Just say it, I’m with her, no need to avoid me." Ao Song stated.

Bai Ruozhu’s mouth twitched, what do you mean by with her? She wasn’t into that.

"Yesterday, Sun Zhou went and embraced the head constable’s wife in public, and even grabbed her..." Gao De was hesitant to say, given there were two ladies present.

"Butt or chest?" Bai Ruozhu asked, full of gossip.

Gao De’s face turned beet red, "Both."

Bai Ruozhu burst out laughing, "Sun Zhou is quite bold, hasn’t the constable confronted him?"

"The constable dared not say anything despite being angry. His wife is exceptionally beautiful, with a great figure. Many can’t help but give her a second look, but nobody dared to make a move, until shameless Sun Zhou did." Gao De said indignantly.

Ao Song chuckled, "Did you give her a second look too?"

Gao De turned red all over, "No, no, my wife is nice, why look at someone else’s wife?"

"Good, here’s something for you, keep it in your home, it will ensure everything goes smoothly." Ao Song handed him a triangular charm.

"Oh, thank you, Miss." Gao De was baffled, but still accepted it.

Bai Ruozhu laughed, "Keep it well, her things are invaluable."

Gao De was startled, quickly glancing at Ao Song, a younger woman than Lady Bai, was she really that formidable?

"Go on," Bai Ruozhu reminded.

"I heard Lady Sun gave Lord Sun a beating last night, but he kept saying you poisoned him, claiming he didn’t even know what he was doing. By this morning, the story was all over. Oh, by the way, that songstress is still at the Sun Residence, but Lady Sun sent her to the constable’s house as compensation." Gao De said.

Bai Ruozhu couldn’t help but laugh, "Was Lady Sun compensating the constable or intentionally stirring trouble for Lady Sun?"
