The Devil's Tribulation

Chapter 194 Asking what love is in the world

At the Zhong Family Juxian Manor, after Pan Chengfeng finished talking about the wine, he looked at Master Wu who was enjoying the wine tasting and said with a smile: "Master Wu, what do you think of this wine?" Master Wu shook his head and said: "This is the best wine I have ever tasted, but that's all. It's gone after I finish drinking it, alas." Pan Chengfeng suddenly sent a message, and Master Wu opened his eyes: "Are you serious, Brother Pan?" Pan Chengfeng smiled and said: "I am not lying!" Master Wu blushed and laughed: "Okay! I agree! Hahahaha, I will be satisfied if I can't finish drinking the century-old wine in my lifetime!"

Chu Xuanji and Tang Tong didn't know what Pan Chengfeng had said to Master Wu to make Master Wu so happy, and Pan Chengfeng didn't reveal it. He smiled and said, "Come on, let's drink and eat meat. Qian'er, serve the meat. Let's treat the distinguished guests well today." Qian'er was carrying a plate of finely chopped meat and was about to send it to Chu Xuanji's table. Aunt Zhong snatched the plate and brought it to Chu Xuanji. After putting the plate down, she sat down next to Chu Xuanji and said, "It's rare for Pavilion Master Chu to come here. You must eat and drink well. I'll toast you a glass."

Chu Xuanji was not polite, eating meat and drinking wine, and she hadn't eaten so happily for many years. Aunt Zhong looked at Chu Xuanji's face, her little face flushed, and she didn't know whether it was caused by drinking or shyness. Chu Xuanji turned her head, and the two suddenly looked at each other. Aunt Zhong lowered her head shyly, revealing her snow-white neck. Chu Xuanji was also a little embarrassed, and quickly changed the subject: "By the way, will my sister-in-law and fellow Taoist Zhong go to the Yancheng auction this time?" Aunt Zhong Qian'er asked in confusion: "Auction?"

Pan Chengfeng explained quickly, "It's like this. Brother Chu got the news that there will be a copy of Lianxu Gongfa at the Yancheng auction this year. It's a complete fire-based Gongfa, especially suitable for you, so I plan to bid for it!" Qian'er said quickly, "Chengfeng, this Lianxu Gongfa must be extremely expensive, not to mention it's complete, the Zhong family can't afford it. Aunt Zhong and I have just entered the spirit transformation stage, so there's no rush for the Lianxu Gongfa."

Pan Chengfeng stretched out his hand and held Qian'er's slender waist and said, "I'm here. Your man has plenty of money, and you can't practice the Lianxu technique until you reach the Lianxu stage. You can practice it to the Huashen stage first. The power will definitely be much stronger than your original one!" Chu Xuanji said, "Indeed, and the completed Lianxu technique is not something you can come across casually. Now that you have a chance to get it, you still have to fight for it."

Aunt Zhong also asked excitedly: "I wonder what price this technique will be auctioned for?" Chu Xuan Ji said: "According to past experience, the starting price is about 1000 million top-grade crystal beads. It's hard to say the final transaction price, but it will not be less than 3000 million top-grade crystal beads at least." Aunt Zhong felt dizzy. Even if the Zhong family sold all their belongings, they could not get one-tenth of the crystal beads.

Pan Chengfeng was also secretly shocked. He didn't expect it to be so expensive, and began to worry that he didn't have enough money. Chu Xuanji seemed to sense Pan Chengfeng's strangeness, and said casually: "We have a lot of gains this time, and my brother still has more than enough money to buy this martial arts book." Pan Chengfeng breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "By the way, Qian'er took out the monsters I promised you, and you can choose any one you want." Qian'er waved her hand, and the corpses of various monsters filled the living room. Each one looked like it had just died, and it still exuded the pressure it had in life.

Chu Xuanji waved his hand and took four. Tang Tong also took three, but Master Wu was more generous and picked an earth dragon turtle. Pan Chengfeng's mouth twitched, and he thought to himself, "Do you think it's so easy to take advantage of me? Sooner or later, I will make you pay back!"

Master Wu saw that Pan Chengfeng was unusually generous. Chu Xuanji and Tang Tong both took extra, but he didn't say anything. So he took another bear monster. The three of them happily bowed to Pan Chengfeng and said, "I'm sorry to have let you spend money. You don't need the rest. Hahaha."

Pan Chengfeng said generously, "They are just some material possessions, no big deal. Qing'er, give you five jars of the century-old peach blossom wine!" Pan Chengfeng gritted his teeth and said to himself, "I've already taken so much, a few jars of wine won't make a difference. I'll let you promote me, it's worth it!" Chu Xuanji said politely, "Oh, you are so polite, brother. Let's go to Wanbao Pavilion some other day, and I will treat you to good tea." Pan Chengfeng said to himself, "You are really my good brother. When I go there, can you not treat me to tea?" Tang Tongdao said, "I will treat you to tea too~" Master Wu happily opened the jar of wine and started drinking it himself.

After they had eaten and drunk well, Chu Xuan Ji and Tang Tong stood up and said, "Sorry for disturbing you all for so long, it's time to go. See you in Yancheng in two months." Tang Tong said, "Come to Licheng when you have time, I'll treat you." The two turned around to look at Master Wu who was still drinking. Chu Xuan Ji asked, "Master Wu, aren't you going back to the sect?" Master Wu waved his hand and said, "I have something else to do, so I need to stay at the Zhong family for a while. You guys go first." The two nodded, knowing that Pan Chengfeng had communicated with Master Wu just now, and there should be other transactions to be completed with Pan Chengfeng.

Aunt Zhong looked at Chu Xuan Ji who was floating in the air and said, "Master Chu, please come and visit us often when you are free. The Zhong family has nothing else, but plenty of wine and meat~" Pan Chengfeng's face darkened, and he thought to himself, "This is all mine, okay!" Chu Xuan Ji smiled and said, "The same goes for Brother Zhong. You can also come to Wanbao Pavilion to have tea with me when you are free~" Aunt Zhong's eyes lit up, and she said hurriedly, "Can I go to Master Chu to ask for some advice on my cultivation?" Chu Xuan Ji said, "Why not? I'll prepare the bed for you~" After that, Chu Xuan Ji and Tang Tong left.

Qing'er took Master Wu to the guest room to rest. Aunt Zhong was still looking in the direction where Chu Xuanji left, with a nymphomaniac look on her face. Pan Chengfeng walked over, patted Aunt Zhong on the shoulder and said, "Aunt Zhong, he's already tens of thousands of miles away, don't look at him anymore. Anyway, you can go find him anytime, why are you in such a hurry~"

Aunt Zhong came back to her senses and said happily: "Chu Lang said that I can go to him anytime. He just said that, right?" Pan Chengfeng was stunned. Qian'er covered her mouth with her hands. Aunt Zhong was really poisoned by Chu Xuanji. She called Chu Lang, but did Chu Xuanji agree? But at this time, Pan Chengfeng didn't dare to pour cold water on her. Looking at Aunt Zhong who was looking stupid and slowly walked back to the hall, Pan Chengfeng sighed: "What is love in the world? It makes people promise to be together for life and death~" Qian'er said in surprise: "Chengfeng is still very literary. Just with this poem, I believe you can win the top prize!"

Pan Chengfeng pulled Qian'er into his arms and teased, "Who said I wasn't suitable for studying before? Now you say I can be the top scholar?" Qian'er whispered, "Before, I didn't know you well enough. Now..." Pan Chengfeng pressed on, "What about now?" As he was about to touch her, Aunt Zhong suddenly turned around and said, "Do you think I'm dead? Before I succeed, don't even think about hanging out with me all day!"

Qian'er stuck out her tongue. Pan Chengfeng just wanted to strangle that old woman now! Aunt Zhong ordered, "Come here, sit down and talk. I still don't understand a lot of things. Did you get so much this time? Is there any problem buying the Lianxu technique?" Pan Chengfeng smiled and said, "Aunt Zhong, don't worry. Just focus on hooking up with... finding Brother Chu to cultivate feelings. You don't have to worry about other things." Aunt Zhong blushed and said, "I'm going to find Chu Lang. She won't think I'm a casual woman, right?"

Pan Chengfeng rolled his eyes and thought to himself, "You want me to trick Brother Chu into your bed, isn't that enough?" But Pan Chengfeng didn't dare to say that, and flattered her, "Aunt Zhong is naturally beautiful, I think Brother Chu is also interested in Aunt Zhong, and this time I hinted that Brother Chu really plans to find a Taoist partner, and Brother Chu also said that Aunt Zhong, you are a very good choice." The first half of the sentence is true, and the second half was added by Pan Chengfeng himself. Aunt Zhong's face suddenly burned, and she covered her face and said excitedly, "Did Chu Lang really say that?"

Pan Chengfeng affirmed: "Every word is true! After this auction, Brother Chu plans to go to the Grand Pavilion Master to ask about his Taoist partner. Does Aunt Zhong know? The Grand Pavilion Master is just like Brother Chu's master, an elder. You have to ask the elders for their opinions on such matters, don't you think?" Aunt Zhong covered her face and nodded frantically. Seeing that he finally coaxed her, Pan Chengfeng took the opportunity to say: "I just came back and I'm very tired. Let Qian'er accompany me today, okay?" Aunt Zhong was already imagining the scene of her marriage with Chu Xuanji, so she didn't care about him and Qian'er. She covered her face and nodded: "Go, go~" Pan Chengfeng took Qian'er's hand and disappeared with a whoosh. He was really afraid that this crazy girl would regret it.

In Pan Chengfeng's room, Qian'er panted and said in a tender voice, "Chengfeng, don't be like this, Aunt Zhong will see it." When Aunt Zhong was mentioned, Pan Chengfeng lost interest and retracted his claws and said, "We don't know when she and Brother Chu will be together. How long should we wait?" Qian'er asked in confusion, "Is what you just said false?" Pan Chengfeng whispered, "It's half true and half false. Who knows what Brother Chu thinks? But Aunt Zhong is not without a chance. Aunt Zhong can only fight for this kind of thing. If it really comes to the critical moment, I can only let Brother Chu down!"

Pan Chengfeng leaned close to Qian'er's ear and muttered something. Qian'er covered her mouth and said, "Brother Chu won't hate you forever, right?" Pan Chengfeng spread his hands and said, "For our happiness, we have to let Brother Chu suffer. Besides, Aunt Zhong is also very beautiful, so Brother Chu won't suffer much." Qian'er suddenly smiled and leaned on Pan Chengfeng's chest and said, "You have been through so many things this time. It can be seen that Brother Chu and the others still trust you very much. He must have been caught off guard by what you did."

Pan Chengfeng pinched Qian'er's chin and said, "Do you agree with me doing this?" Qian'er said, "I just want to help Aunt Zhong. Don't you see that Aunt Zhong likes Brother Chu so much?" Pan Chengfeng sighed and said, "Brother Chu, Brother Chu, you'd better climb into Aunt Zhong's bed by yourself, otherwise I will really let you down." Qian'er smiled and punched Pan Chengfeng on the chest a few times and said, "Why are you so mean?" Pan Chengfeng pretended to be furious and said, "Okay, you dare to laugh at your husband, I will punish you according to the family rules!"
