The Husky and His White Cat Shizun - Chap 5
The Dan Xin Palace was brightly lit.
Shi Mei left first while Mo Ran followed Xue Meng into the palace in confusion. When he saw the scene in the palace, he immediately understood what was going on.
It was Rong Jiu’s second son.
He stole some money from him before he left, but he had the guts to come to the Peak of Life and Death.
Rong Jiu was nestled in the arms of a tall man, crying miserably. When Mo Ran and Xue Meng entered the palace, his crying became louder. It seemed that if the man did not hold him in his arms, he would have fainted and foamed at the mouth.
On the platform, behind the beaded curtain, a delicate woman sat there. She seemed to be at a loss.
Mo Ran did not look at the adulterous couple. He first bowed to the woman in the palace, “Auntie, I’m back.”
The woman was the Lord at the Peak of Life and Death, Madam Wang.
She was different from those heroines who were not inferior to men. She was a woman who did not care about the outside world. Her husband was not around, so she did not know how to deal with the situation. She said timidly, “Mo Ran, you’re finally here.”
Mo Ran pretended not to see the two people in the palace. He smiled and said, “It’s so late, auntie. Why are you not sleeping? Are you looking for me?”
“Yes. Look, this Young Master Rong said that you … you took his money? ”
She was shy and did not want to say that Mo Ran was a prostitute. She could only avoid the topic.
Mo Ran smiled, “What? I don’t lack money. Why would I take their money? Moreover, these two people look unfamiliar. Do I know you? ”
The tall man sneered, “My surname is Chang. I’m the eldest in the family. Businessmen don’t care about trifles. Just call me Chang Da.”
Mo Ran smiled and said Chang Da in reverse, “So it’s Young Master Chang. I’ve heard so much about you. Sorry for the disrespect. Then the other one is … ”
Young Master Dachang said, “Haha, Young Master Mo really knows how to play the fool. This is indeed the first time we met, but this month, you slept in Jiu ‘er’s room for fifteen out of thirty days. Are you blind? How could you not recognize him? ”
Mo Ran did not blush and looked at Rong Jiu with a smile. “Why? Are you trying to blackmail me? I’m a decent person. I’ve never slept with a mistress.”
Rong Jiu’s face turned red with anger, but she was still nestled in the arms of the man surnamed Chang. “M-Mr. Mo, I know that my identity is lowly and I can’t be seen in public. If you didn’t bully me too much, I, I wouldn’t have come here. But you actually turned against me like this, I … I …”
Mo Ran felt wronged. “I really don’t know you. I can’t even tell if you’re a man or a woman. How could we have met before?”
“You even took care of my business last night. How can you be so cold? Young Master Chang, Young Master Chang, you have to help me. “Rong Jiu buried herself deeper into the arms of the man surnamed Chang and cried.
Xue Meng’s face turned ashen as he listened, and his eyebrows twitched. It seemed that if it weren’t for the restraint of the Young Master, he would have long beaten this lovey-dovey pair down the mountain.
Young Master Dachang stroked Rong Jiu’s head and comforted him softly. Then, he raised his head and said sternly, “Madam Wang, the Peak of Life and Death is a big sect, but this Young Master Mo is despicable! Jiu ‘er worked hard to earn money just to redeem herself as soon as possible. But he not only mistreated Jiu’ er, but also robbed her of her hard-earned money. If your sect doesn’t give us a satisfactory explanation today, although the Chang family doesn’t cultivate immortality, we’ve been doing business for generations. Our wealth reaches the sky. We’ll make sure that you won’t have a good time in Bashu! ”
Madam Wang panicked and said, “Ah … Young Master Chang, don’t be angry. I, I …”
Mo Ran sneered in his heart. The salt merchant Chang family was filthy rich, but this Young Master Dachang couldn’t even redeem Rong Jiu’s freedom. His Jiu ‘er had to earn it herself. Who would believe that there was nothing fishy going on?
But he still said with a smile, “Ah, so Brother Dachang is the son of a rich merchant from Yizhou. You’re really impressive. I’ve seen it for myself. I’m impressed. ”
Young Master Dachang said proudly, “Humph, at least you know your place. Since that’s the case, you’d better be sensible. Don’t make trouble for yourself. You took Jiu ‘er’s things, so why don’t you return them? ”
Mo Ran said with a smile, “That’s strange. Your Jiu ‘er receives so many customers every day. Why don’t you blame others for losing your treasures, but me?”
“You!” Young Master Dachang clenched his teeth and sneered, “Good, good, good, I knew you’d quibble! Madam Wang, you saw it too. Young Master Mo is unreasonable and won’t admit it. I won’t talk to him anymore. You’re the head of the family, so you’ll be the one to make the decision! ”
Madam Wang was an ignorant woman. She was so nervous that she couldn’t speak coherently, “I … Mo Ran … Meng ‘er …”
Xue Meng stood to the side. Seeing his mother in a difficult position, he stood up and said, “Young Master Dachang, the Peak of Life and Death has strict rules. If what you said is true, and if Mo Ran really broke the rules of greed and lust, we’ll punish him severely. But you have no proof. You said that Mo Ran stole, but do you have any proof? ”
Young Master Dachang sneered, “I knew your sect would do something like this. That’s why I rushed here to confront Madam Wang before Mo Ran returned.”
He cleared his throat and said, “Listen carefully, Jiu ‘er lost two pearls, ten ingots, a pair of plum blossom gold bracelets, a pair of jade hairpins, and a jade butterfly pendant. If you check Mo Ran’s body, you’ll know if I’ve wronged him.”
Mo Ran couldn’t accept it, “Why are you searching me?”
“Hmph, I think you have a guilty conscience.” Young Master Dachang raised his chin arrogantly, “Madam Wang, how do you punish theft and lust at the Peak of Life and Death?”
Madam Wang whispered, “This … my husband has always been in charge of the sect’s affairs. I really … don’t know …”
“No, no, I think it’s not that Madam Wang doesn’t know, but that you want to protect your nephew. Haha, I didn’t expect the Peak of Life and Death to be such a filthy place. ”
“Okay, okay. My aunt already said that she doesn’t know how to make decisions. You’re bullying a woman, and you’re not done yet? ” Mo Ran finally got a little impatient and interrupted him. His usual cheeky smile disappeared a little as he turned to stare at the adulterous couple.
“Okay, I’ll search you. But if I can’t find anything, what should I do when you’re full of filthy words to slander my sect?”
“Then I’ll apologize to Young Master Mo immediately.”
“Okay.” Mo Ran agreed without hesitation, “But there’s one thing. If you’re wrong, to apologize, you have to crawl down from the Peak of Life and Death on your knees.”
When Young Master Dachang saw Mo Ran’s confident look, he couldn’t help but feel suspicious.
He envied cultivators since he was young, but his talent was too poor and he didn’t understand the main points.
A few days ago, he heard that his old sweetheart Rong Jiu was favored by Mo Ran. The two of them agreed that as long as Rong Jiu found a chance to steal Mo Ran’s cultivation, Young Master Dachang would redeem Rong Jiu. Not only would he redeem Rong Jiu, but he would also take Rong Jiu into his family and guarantee him a life of wealth and prosperity.
Young Master Dachang sought immortality, and Rong Jiu sought wealth. The two of them colluded and hit it off.
In his previous life, Mo Ran fell into their trap. Although it was settled later, he suffered a lot. But in this life, the two of them tried to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice used to lure it. For some reason, Mo Ran suddenly changed his temperament. A few days ago, he was still in a drunken stupor, lying in the land of warmth and tenderness. But this morning, after having sex with Rong Jiu twice, he took Rong Jiu’s belongings and ran away.
Young Master Dachang was so angry that he immediately dragged Rong Jiu to the Peak of Life and Death to complain.
This salt merchant’s business abacus crackled. He calculated that once he caught Mo Ran in the act, he would force Madam Wang to disperse Mo Ran’s cultivation. For this reason, he specially carried a jade pendant that could absorb cultivation. He was going to take advantage of it and integrate it into his Sea of Qi.
But seeing Mo Ran like this, Young Master Dachang looked down and hesitated.
Mo Ran was so slippery. Maybe he had already disposed of the goods and was waiting to trick him.
But on second thought, since things had come to this, it would be a pity to give up at this time. Maybe this guy was bluffing …
While he was still thinking hard, Mo Ran began to take off his clothes.
He took off his outer robe without hesitation and threw it away casually. Then he smiled and made an inviting gesture. “You’re welcome. Take your time.”
After a while, he didn’t find anything except for some silver. Young Master Dachang’s face changed.
“How is it possible! You must be cheating! ”
Mo Ran narrowed his black eyes with some purple. He touched his chin and said, “You’ve touched my outer robe ten times, and my whole body seven or eight times. I almost took off my clothes for you to see. You still don’t give up?”
“Mo Ran, you …”
Mo Ran was suddenly enlightened. “Ah, I get it now. Childe Dachang, don’t tell me you’re drooling over my beauty, so you deliberately put on this show to take advantage of me?”
Young Master Dachang was so angry that he almost fainted. He pointed at Mo Ran’s nose and couldn’t say a word for a long time. His face was red with anger. Xue Meng on the side couldn’t stand it anymore. Although he didn’t like Mo Ran, Mo Ran was still a person at the peak of life and death. He couldn’t tolerate being humiliated by outsiders.
Xue Meng stepped forward without hesitation. He raised his hand and broke Young Master Dachang’s fingers. He said angrily, “I played with you for half a night, but it turns out that you’re just looking for trouble!”
Young Master Dachang screamed in pain and held his fingers. “You, you guys! You’re in cahoots! No wonder we couldn’t find those things on Mo Ran. You must have hidden them for him! You take off your clothes too. I’ll search you! ”
Someone dared to order him to take off his clothes?! Xue Meng flew into a rage out of humiliation. “Shameless! Do you think your dog paws are fit to touch the corner of this Young Master’s clothes? Get out of here! ”
Since their young master had given the order, the waiters in Dan Xin Palace, who had been patient for a long time, immediately swarmed up and threw the two mortals, who had no power to fight back, down the mountain.
Young Master Dachang’s angry shout came from afar. “Mo Ran, you wait! I’ll never let you go! ”
Mo Ran stood outside Dan Xin Palace and looked at the distant night sky. He squinted his eyes and sighed. “I’m so scared.”
Xue Meng looked at him coldly. “What are you scared of?”
Mo Ran said with genuine worry, “His family sells salt. I’m afraid that I won’t have enough salt.”
“…”
Xue Meng was speechless for a moment. He asked again, “You really didn’t go whoring?”
“Really.”
“You really didn’t steal?”
“Really.”
Xue Meng snorted. “I don’t believe you.”
Mo Ran raised his hand and said with a smile, “If I lie, I’ll be struck by lightning.”
Xue Meng suddenly raised his hand and grasped Mo Ran’s arm tightly. Mo Ran stared at him. “What are you doing?” Xue Meng snorted and quickly chanted a series of spells. With a series of clanking sounds, several inconspicuous soybean-sized beads slipped out of Mo Ran’s sleeve and fell to the ground.
Xue Meng filled his palm with Wakan and waved it at the beads. The beads shone brightly and became bigger and bigger. In the end, they turned into a pile of jewelry, plum bracelets, emerald earrings, and other glittering gold jewelry.
Mo Ran said, “… We’re from the same school. Why do you have to make things difficult for us?”
Xue Meng’s face darkened. “Mo Weiyu, you’re so shameless.”
“Haha.”
Xue Meng angrily said, “Who’s laughing at you!”
Mo Ran sighed and said, “Then I can’t cry.”
Xue Meng’s face darkened. He said, “Is this how you use the Life and Death Secret Technique?”
“Yes, I’m using it.”
Xue Meng angrily said, “That salt selling dog is so annoying. That’s why I didn’t want to interrogate you properly in front of him. But that dog thing is right about one thing. If you break the rules of theft and lust, you’ll be in trouble no matter which sect you go to! ”
Mo Ran wasn’t afraid at all. He smiled and said, “What are you going to do? Wait for uncle to come back and complain to him? ”
He wasn’t afraid at all. His uncle spoiled him to death. At most, he would say a few words. How could he bear to hit him?
Xue Meng turned around and brushed aside the hair that was blown in front of his eyes. His eyes shined with arrogance in the dark night.
“Father? No, father went to Kunlun. I’m afraid he won’t be back for a month or two. ”
Mo Ran’s smile froze. He suddenly had an ominous feeling. He suddenly thought of someone.
But —
If he was here, he would be the one to receive Young Master Chang at Dan Xin Palace tonight, not Madam Wang who didn’t know anything.
That person … shouldn’t be here …
Xue Meng saw the flicker in his eyes. His contempt and arrogance became more obvious.
“Father loves you. But isn’t there someone who doesn’t love you at the Life and Death Summit?”
Mo Ran slowly took a few steps back and forced a smile. “Brother, it’s already so late. Let’s not disturb the old man. I know I was wrong. I won’t go to whorehouses next time. What do you think about that? Go back to your room and rest. Haha, look how tired you are. ”
He ran away after saying that.
What a joke! Xue Meng, this brat, is too vicious!
He wasn’t the Emperor Ta now. He wasn’t the Master of the Human Realm. How could he be sent to that person? If he found out that he had stolen something and even had sex with a prostitute, he would probably break both of his legs! If he didn’t run now, when would he?
