Aside from the three supre skills, Shen Wang began giving the two of them so dicinal soup and letting them soak in dicinal baths.
Of course, these soups and baths were concocted by him, purely for practice, to demonstrate his alchemy skills.
Finally, he nurtured the ridians of his daughter and Jia’Er, as night fully descended.
Shen Wang appeared by the wall, waiting for zombies to approach, continuing to gain experience.
The next day, Shen Wang didn’t stay ho but headed to Baixi City to see if he could find a new wife.
He had made up his mind to be selective, hoping his woman could be of so help, like Paper Kite.
Shen Wang arrived at the Celestial Comrce Association, and the maid Du Juan, dressed flamboyantly, brightened upon seeing him, shyly walking over: "Brother-in-law is here."
"Why do you call brother-in-law?"
Shen Wang glanced at her; her appearance was acceptable but not his type, most importantly, he felt nothing.
"I call Paper Kite sister, so I should call you brother-in-law."
Seeing Shen Wang wasn’t very interested, Du Juan shyly lowered her head, pretending to be reserved: "If brother-in-law doesn’t like this title, I can change it."
Realizing this woman was trying to seduce him, Shen Wang didn’t look further and said: "Is Paper Kite here today?"
"Sister Paper Kite went out; please co in and have a seat, and I’ll serve you so tea."
Du Juan escorted Shen Wang to Paper Kite’s room in the backyard and then rushed to serve tea.
"Did she ntion where she went?"
Shen Wang thought about the conversation with Paper Kite about Crystal Ore yesterday; she might be handling that, or perhaps it was association matters.
"Not clear, brother-in-law, please have so tea first."
Du Juan handed tea low to Shen Wang, revealing a snow-white bosom and cleavage.
Shen Wang accepted the tea: "I understand, you may go."
"Sister Paper Kite instructed to take good care of brother-in-law; I will wait beside you; if brother-in-law needs anything, just call ."
Du Juan obediently retreated and closed the door.
Shen Wang watched her leave, his gaze playful.
How could he not see through this woman’s mind? Her previous appearances weren’t dressed this way, likely wanting to share his bed and gain benefits from him like Paper Kite.
Unfortunately, he understood such actions, yet didn’t like them; it was dood to backfire.
He preferred won like Paper Kite, who knew boundaries and helped him reasonably to gain favor.
Lowering his head, he drank a sip of tea, pondering whether to go directly to the Crystal Ore or wait for Paper Kite.
A mont passed, Du Juan softly said: "Brother-in-law, I washed so fruits."
Shen Wang frowned, why does this woman’s voice sound so coy. She pushed the door open, wearing even less clothing, carrying a plate of red cherries, making her snow-white bosom even more alluring.
A wicked fire surged from Shen Wang’s abdon; he looked at the seemingly tempting Du Juan, his face darkened: "You crossed the line."
Du Juan paused, cautiously set the cherries on the table, uneasily said: "What does brother-in-law an? I don’t understand."
Shen Wang slamd the teacup on the table: "I recently researched so pharmacology books; are you not aware of what you put in this tea?"
Du Juan’s face turned pale, awkwardly said: "Brother-in-law, this tea was instructed by sister Paper Kite for to brew for you."
"She and I are husband and wife and don’t need such things; besides, you added it alone, and it’s effective even for cultivators."
Shen Wang’s gaze turned cold: "You can try to seduce but shouldn’t drug the tea; do you know that’s seeking death!"
Du Juan’s face turned ashen, kneeling with a thud: "Sir... sir, I very much want to be your woman, got possessed temporarily, and took this foolish action; please forgive , I won’t dare it again."
"Haha, there’s a next ti?"
Shen Wang sneered, grabbed Du Juan’s neck with a wave and lifted her, watching her flushed, terrified face, his gaze cold: "Wrong actions have consequences."
"Sir, please don’t kill , my cri isn’t deserving of death."
Du Juan trembled all over in fear, speaking with difficulty.
"Hmph."
Shen Wang flung her out: "Scram!"
He couldn’t just kill a woman who tried to seduce and drug him in soone else’s association, better to leave it to Paper Kite.
Du Juan was thrown outside, her new dress covered in dust, with much of her thighs exposed.
"This woman had a setback."
"Haha, trying to fly up and beco a Phoenix every day, pity she lacks the fortune."
"Really thinks everyone wants her?"
Amidst sneering looks, mixed with mocking remarks.
Du Juan felt deeply ashad, lowered her head, and escaped in distress.
Inside the room, after this incident, Shen Wang frowned, contemplating.
Indeed, quality over quantity; having such a woman at ho would lead to constant chaos, likely with won fighting each other.
Today’s woman dared to drug him, tomorrow she might poison him; choosing a woman of good character is vital.
Ordinary families can be ruined for three generations by marrying the wrong woman, in cultivation clans, possibly nine generations.
Finding a wife must be careful, choosing one who prospers the husband and the family, not reckless ones.
Shen Wang took a deep breath, suppressing the wicked fire induced by the drug.
This woman used drugs effective for cultivators, but she didn’t expect his physical body was stronger than ordinary Qi Cultivation cultivators; otherwise, she might have succeeded in igniting Shen Wang’s lust.
Shen Wang set the tea aside, recalling the heart thod in Black Death Saber Technique, refining essence and qi, temporarily suppressing the stirred essence qi.
When he ets Paper Kite, he can exhaust the residual drug through dual cultivation.
An hour later, Shen Wang left the room; Du Juan was nowhere to be seen. Shen Wang casually inquired others and learned Paper Kite indeed went to Celestial Crystal Town.
Shen Wang sneered; Du Juan dared to hide this from him, her courage wasn’t small.
Yun Conghui, the steward of Celestial Comrce Association, wasn’t around; Shen Wang temporarily didn’t pursue, promptly leaving Baixi City and soon arriving at Celestial Crystal Town.
In a short ti since he last ca, it suddenly beca much desolate here, most shops on the streets were closed, and even the restaurant he last visited was only half-open.
Evidently, without the business brought by Crystal Ore, the shops couldn’t sustain.
"Ah, I wonder if they can reopen the mine this ti."
"Probably difficult; Celestial Crystal Ore has been mined for over a hundred years, and this ti the collapse is severe; the mine shaft is completely gone."
"Yes, to reopen mining, just digging mine tunnels will take who knows how long. Might as well find ways to move away."
Shen Wang could hear many sighs and discussions, his heart subtly moved; these signs seed favorable.
If nearby people all moved away, he could quietly search.
He just wondered whether the Spiritual Qi phenonon earlier truly stems from a place where Spiritual Qi converges; if so, is it a Spiritual Eye, Spiritual Spring, or Spirit Vein?
A Spiritual Eye could satisfy his personal cultivation needs; a Spiritual Spring could allow establishing a sect here.
