453: Chapter 31: The Bewitching Demoness’ First Venture Out 453: Chapter 31: The Bewitching Demoness’ First Venture Out What’s that supposed to an?
Wang Yunxiao almost thought he had misheard.
“You just said your father took what?
The Imperial Jade Seal?”
“Is it the kind that’s missing a corner?”
Right now, Wang Yunxiao only wanted to send an emoji of a groundhog screaming.
His gut was about to burst from all the lon he had eaten.
Who in their right mind would stuff a landmine into a lon?
He Lan’s expression was overcast as he stared daggers at Old Master He, looking like he was ready to plunge a dagger into him at any mont.
But Old Master He didn’t seem to care at all, chuckling, “Your mother really cares about you, huh?
She even told you about the Jade Seal?
I haven’t even had the chance to ntion it to my newly accepted disciple!”
“Yeah, that’s right!”
Wang Yunxiao nodded vigorously, “Master, you’ve suddenly elevated the conversation to this level and I’m struggling to keep up.
You were telling the story just fine, why don’t you start from the beginning for ?”
“Start from the beginning?
That would require knowing where the beginning is, wouldn’t it?
I didn’t steal the Imperial Jade Seal.
Do you think I spent so many years in prison for nothing?
It was all to take the fall for that kid!”
Old Master He took a drag on his cigarette, totally unconcerned, then turned to He Lan, “What exactly did your mother tell you?
When it cos to this matter, she’s the actual participant.
She should know more than I do.”
“Don’t ntion my mother.
I just want to know my father’s whereabouts!”
He Lan said coldly, “If you tell now, I’ll give you the antidote, and then we can go our separate ways.
If you don’t speak up now, once my uncles and aunts arrive, you won’t be able to leave!”
“Silly child, I didn’t plan on leaving when I ca,” Old Master He said helplessly.
“Do you think those old fogies in Tiann would dare touch a hair on my head if I stayed?
I ca out this ti to settle the scores with them.
Look at my age; there are things that need to be resolved and can’t all be taken to the grave.”
He Lan frowned slightly.
“All right, bring out the tricks your mother taught you,” Old Master He said with a smile.
“You’re still green, probably haven’t used any of the tricks your mother taught you out in the world, right?
Since you acknowledge He Baiyang as your dad, then I’m your grandpa, and this kid is your martial uncle.
We’re all family here, no outsiders.
It’s a good chance for practice.”
He Lan exclaid, “What nonsense are you spouting!”
Old Master He turned around, smirking playfully, and whispered to Wang Yunxiao, “Her mother, back in her day, was no ordinary actress in the Capital.
I rember at her pri, watching her dance even once would cost at least three thousand taels of silver.
I was fortunate enough to see her once; the way she swayed that willowy waist…
I still rember it vividly to this day.”
He Lan’s face turned red with anger, “You’re an elder, have you no sha?”
“Hurry up, let’s not bother with formalities, just dance!” Old Master He urged while schooling Wang Yunxiao, “I tell you, don’t listen to those who say prostitutes have no emotions, actors have no loyalty.
Those are words for the low-class courtesans.
Soone with her mother’s caliber would instead focus heavily on sentint and loyalty.
You see her green and naive appearance now, but don’t be fooled, thinking it’s genuine.
This is all just a prelude for your sake.
The mont you feel even a hint of pity for her, that’s when she’ll start ensnaring your soul!”
Wang Yunxiao was deeply shocked.
There was so much to learn in these matters; his past experiences in the Jianghu World were indeed too superficial.
Biting her lip, He Lan pulled a candle from her embrace, snatched the match from Old Master He’s hand, and struck it with gritted teeth.
“You want to see dance, huh?
Breathe in!”
Breathe in what?
Wang Yunxiao paused for a mont before realizing that the lit candle was emitting a scarcely detectable fragrance.
If his senses weren’t so keen, he would have hardly been able to sll this faint scent.
Just one whiff and his head buzzed as if electrified, a tingling sensation causing slight dizziness.
Another inhalation, and it felt like a ruler was being ramd up his nose right into his brain.
There’s opium here!
It’s not just opium, but also mixed with other fragrances, the effects of which are self-evident.
Although the dose is very small, making it difficult to detect for the average person, if it keeps burning indoors continuously, the accumulated effect is not to be underestimated.
This was the tactic Old Master He had ntioned!
Then he saw He Lan’s body tremble slightly, and she sneezed and extinguished the candle fla.
The atmosphere on the scene beca extrely awkward.
“The dicine?”
Old Master He curled his lips and said, “Didn’t your mother tell you to stuff two pills up your nose?”
He Lan’s cheeks turned hot with embarrassnt as she lowered her head and reached into her pocket for a dicine packet.
She rummaged for a while but couldn’t find them.
Old Master He could only continue to instruct, “The green one, with a hint of mint, stuff it in your nostril.
And the licorice slice flavored with honey, I rember your mother chewed it in her mouth…”
“You don’t need to tell !”
Seeing He Lan’s face nearing collapse, “You old coot, how do you know everything?”
“Didn’t your mother tell you?
Well… she probably wouldn’t discuss such things with her own child.”
Old Master He laughed and said, “Back then, when she and those old fellows stirred up trouble in Tiann, the President broke one of her legs, forcing her to perform for three days and nights, revealing all her little secrets.”
Wang Yunxiao exclaid in shock, “Master, you watched for three days and nights?”
“Nonsense, I watched just one night!”
Old Master He chuckled mischievously, “The President only watched for half an hour, comnted ‘keep dancing’ and then left.
How could her mother dare to stop?
She just kept dancing until her other leg was also wasted before she left the stage.
I was no longer young at the ti and didn’t dare to watch too much.
But there was a kid from the Huo Family, even younger than you all, a bit silly with a bull-headed look, who sat there and watched for the full three days and nights.
Us old-tirs said then, this kid will achieve great things soday.”
The person you ntioned, isn’t he now the one in charge of operations at the Special Service Bureau?
He Lan glared at Old Master He through clenched teeth, “My mother is a decent woman!”
“Yes, yes, yes, I’m just blabbing, let’s get started quickly!”
“Dance then dance!
Be careful of tarnishing your virtue at such an old age!”
He Lan stood up, removed her shoes and placed them aside, revealing a pair of snowy white cotton socks, and started humming a tune under her breath.
There should be a musical accompanint here.
Wang Yunxiao didn’t know whether to remind her that she had forgotten to light the candle.
But seeing how nervous she was, he decided not to ntion it, fearing her sense of sha would completely collapse.
Whether it was feigned or not.
But fair’s fair, she really danced well.
When she started to twist her waist, all Wang Yunxiao could see was the word—”supple!”
Imagine a scene of a cat flowing out from a fish tank.
There wasn’t a single bone in this girl’s body that wasn’t soft, from the tips of her fingers to her toes, as soft as a small animal, making people instinctively want to stroke her fur the mont they laid eyes on her.
Which man could resist such temptation?
Before even getting to the foreplay, just as she began to warm up, Wang Yunxiao was already finding it hard to resist.
