There’s Something Wrong With These Demonic Women!

"Sir."

"Your two servings of snake meat are here, one steamed and one braised. Would you like to see if they are thick enough and long enough?" The waiter brought the snake meat, nearly filling the entire table, and respectfully said, "Sir, I'll take my leave. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to call for me."

Lu Xun nodded, took out some silver from his pocket, and tossed it to the considerate waiter, smiling gently, "This is for you."

"Oh! Thank you, sir! Thank you!" Receiving the reward, the waiter was overjoyed, expressing continuous gratitude to the handsome young Daoist before him.

After seeing off the waiter, Lu Xun picked up his chopsticks and picked up a piece of steamed snake meat to taste. The flavor was sweet and delicate, and the texture tender and smooth. It was so delicious that he got goosebumps all over his body. After having a glass of wine, he felt like he was in heaven.

Finally, back in the mortal world!

Lu Xun thought about the current leisure and comfort, and then recalled his previous painful experiences. A sense of grievance surged from deep within. His life had been too bitter. Things were getting better day by day, but then he had to encounter the formidable Miao Feng and Xuan Yin. Since then, he had become their dual cultivation tool and punching bag. At the slightest disagreement, they would beat him up.

Too bloody! Too violent!

This world already relies on the strong bullying the weak, and yet they still abused me everywhere!

"The blade cuts through water, and the water flows. Raise the cup to dispel sorrow, and the sorrow only deepens." Lu Xun sighed, picked up the wine jug beside him, filled a small cup for himself, and raised it, drinking it all at once. As the liquor passed his throat, it felt like being burnt by fire, making it sting painfully. But even so, it couldn't suppress the sadness in his heart. Waves of grievances gushed out uncontrollably, emitting endless low groans from his chest.

However uncomfortable he felt, Immortal Miao Feng and Xuan Yin, the two female demons, were extremely rare beauties in terms of appearance and figure. For example, his own fiance, although she appeared cold and frosty with a somewhat irritable temper, her charming appearance had the sense of a young woman. Especially her figure, it was truly alluring and graceful.

As for Immortal Miao Feng…

She was undoubtedly a mature beauty, overflowing with charm and incomparably enchanting. Just standing next to her, one could strongly feel the indescribable allure she exuded. Although her figure was not as slim as Xuan Yin's, she had a slender and well-defined waist, especially in the chest area. She was more open-minded than Xuan Yin, though Xuan Yin wasn't bad either. It's just that the comparison's too exaggerated.

Lu Xun ate the snake meat and drank the wine while his mind was filled with inexplicable thoughts. At times, he pitied his miserable life, and at other times, he worried about how to deal with Immortal Miao Feng and Xuan Yin. In short, he was currently confused, fantasizing about freedom while deeply immersed in the situation, unable to extricate himself.

Just at this moment, several green-robed Daoists arrived at the restaurant, each holding long swords with Daoist symbols carved on them. They split into two groups, three people at one table, two men and one woman, showing signs of strong cultivation. The other table seated four young men, looking quite inexperienced and clearly new to the path of cultivation.

"Junior Sister."

"What would you like to eat?" The older Daoist asked the woman beside him with a respectful expression.

"Just order anything." The woman replied casually.

"Waiter!" The older Daoist called out.

"Coming, coming! What can I do for you, sir?" The waiter asked with lowered head and a bow.

"Bring your signature dishes for both tables, and two pots of good wine, half a catty each." The older Daoist said grandly.

"Alright!"

"Sir, please wait a moment. I will give the instructions to the kitchen right away." The waiter hurriedly went into the kitchen.

Sitting in the corner, Lu Xun ate the snake meat and drank the wine, while secretly observing the group of people dressed as Daoists. If things were as he expected, they were probably here for the remaining piece of the Heavenly Dao Diagram, making them competitors with him and his wife.

Taking the opportunity, he secretly glanced at the only woman among them and immediately felt disappointed, shifting his gaze away. She had no distinguishing features. Too ordinary!

"Senior Brother."

"Where can we find that remaining piece of the diagram? Quanzhou is so big; there's probably no chance we can find it with just a few of us." One of the men sitting with the older Daoist furrowed his brow, showing helplessness and confusion on his face.

"Junior Brother."

"You misunderstood Master's intention. He sent us down the mountain not to find the map but to investigate. The Heavenly Dao Diagram is so precious; how could just the few of us handle it? We'll need the entire Green Mountain Sect to participate; otherwise, we won't stand a chance." The older senior brother said calmly, "For these few days, we need to be smart, explore any suspicious signs, and find out what others are talking about. As soon as we get any information, we'll send messages immediately."

The junior brother nodded and was about to speak when suddenly a group of rough-looking men entered the restaurant. Each of them was burly and fierce, especially with their weapons, large cleavers that exuded a domineering air.

"Waiter!"

"Hurry up!" The leader of the rough men slammed his cleaver on the table, causing it to shake dangerously.

"Sir!"

"It's all my fault! It's all my fault! I kept you waiting, sir." The waiter quickly approached the burly man, nodding and bowing, and asked, "What would you like, sir?"

"These two tables."

"Each with twenty catties of beef, and two barrels of top-quality wine." The burly man took out a silver ingot, spoke roughly, and said, "Hurry up! If my brothers get hungry because of any delay, the Sky Eagle Gang won't let you off."

Upon hearing the name "Sky Eagle Gang," the waiter turned pale with fear, trembling all over, and said in a shaky voice, "Sir, I'll go to the kitchen right away."

Having said that, he hurriedly slipped away.

"Hall Master."

"What's this Heavenly Dao and whatever Diagram that the Boss mentioned? Is it really that important to him that we had to travel all the way to Quanzhou for this? I don't get it." The scarred man sitting beside the burly man asked with a puzzled expression.

"We've been ordered by the Boss, so we have to do it. We won't be treated unfairly afterward, that's for sure," the burly man replied.

Meanwhile, the seven members of the Green Mountain Sect sitting nearby exchanged glances and remained silent.

This peaceful scene made Lu Xun a bit anxious. He kept urging them in his mind, "Start fighting! Start fighting! What are you waiting for?"

Knowing that a quarrel between two parties would benefit him, Lu Xun sincerely hoped that these two groups would start fighting, preferably ending up with both sides injured. This would reduce the resistance for him and his wife in the future when they compete for the remaining piece of the Heavenly Dao Diagram.

However, Lu Xun was unaware that although Green Mountain Sect knew about the other group's intentions, Sky Eagle Gang had also guessed their plans. Still, they hadn't turned hostile against each other as long as they didn't poke that thin layer of window paper.

"Here it is."

"Sir!"

"Your beef is here!" The waiter and several assistants brought plate after plate of beef and placed them on the tables of the burly men. They also brought two barrels of top-quality wine. In no time, the men at both tables started drinking and feasting, creating a boisterous atmosphere.

Shortly after, the specialty dishes were served on the Green Mountain Sect's table, and the disciples of the sect were also enjoying themselves with food and wine.

However, Lu Xun saw the harmonious scene with urgency in his heart. If he didn't intervene now and keep these two groups of people in check, it might become a major problem in the future, and it would be too late to regret it.

"What should I do? Is there any way to make these two groups start fighting? Let me think," Lu Xun pondered and calmly analyzed the situation.

Suddenly, an idea struck him. Silently taking out a small piece of silver from his pocket, he took advantage of the inattentiveness of both the Sky Eagle Gang and the Green Mountain Sect and flicked it, hitting the scarred man on the back of his head, causing him to bleed profusely.

"Ouch!"

"Who the hell did that?!"

The scarred man, who was ambushed, quickly stood up, holding the back of his head and scanning the surroundings. There weren't many people in the restaurant to begin with—besides the seven members of the Green Mountain Sect, there was only Lu Xun in the corner. The scarred man quickly locked his gaze on Lu Xun, looking at him with a furious expression.

As for Lu Xun, he casually lifted his head and met the scarred man's gaze, his face seemingly saying, "I am an idiot."

Oops. Looks like it wasn't him.

In that case, there's only one answer.

The scarred man was impulsive by nature and didn't consider the consequences of his actions. He had caused many troubles before and, coupled with the recent sneak attack and his head bleeding, he hastily grabbed his big cleaver and swung it down onto the table where the three members of the Green Mountain Sect were sitting, shattering the table with immense force.

Faced with this sudden turn of events, the three members of the Green Mountain Sect were momentarily stunned but quickly regained their composure. They drew their swords and the leader of the group glared angrily at the burly man, coldly asking, "The Green Mountain Sect has no grudge with your Sky Eagle Gang. Why did you resort to such a heavy-handed attack without any reason?"

"If you don't give an explanation today, this enmity will be settled!" the leader added coldly.

As the members of the Green Mountain Sect drew their swords, the Sky Eagle Gang also refused to back down. They grabbed their own weapons and the scarred man, still holding his bleeding head, angrily retorted, "You ambushed me first, and now you have the nerve to say such things?"

"Ambushed you?" The leader of the Green Mountain Sect was slightly taken aback, noticing the bloody hand of the burly man, and looked at his own junior disciples at the other table, asking, "Which one of you did it?"

However, the group of junior disciples shook their heads one after another, firmly denying any involvement.

At that moment, the burly man also figured out the situation and whispered to the scarred man, "Could it be a misunderstanding?"

"No, no, no!"

"Absolutely not a mistake!"

"This restaurant only has us, them, and that fool in the corner. It can't possibly be the fool, right?" The scarred man, seeing some doubt in the leader's eyes, shouted towards Lu Xun in the corner, "Hey, kid, was it you who ambushed me?"

"Huh?" Lu Xun looked completely innocent and dumbfounded.

"See!"

"Definitely a fool."

The scarred man firmly asserted, "Leader, I'm sure it was them. Don't forget, they have the same goal as us."

"I'm not so sure!"

The only female disciple among the Green Mountain Sect stared at Lu Xun, a dignified fellow cultivator, and felt he didn't look like a fool at all. She turned back to the Sky Eagle Gang and said, "It's true that we came here for the Heavenly Dao Diagram, but our master warned us not to get into conflicts with others. Our master's orders are of utmost importance to us, so it couldn't have been our Green Mountain Sect who did it."

"It's him!"

"I'm sure of it. It's him!" The female disciple pointed at Lu Xun and said coldly, "He's the one trying to sow discord."

Saying this, she approached Lu Xun, sword in hand, and swung it towards his neck, sternly asking, "Who are you? Why are you instigating trouble without reason? What's your intention?"

"I-I'm just here to eat," Lu Xun replied, pretending to be frightened, "Please spare me, female hero!"

"So, the Green Mountain Sect is a bunch of despicable cowards who do things behind others' backs," the scarred man berated disdainfully, "You clearly did it, but you push an innocent fool out to be your scapegoat."

"You!"

"Shut up!"

"You're nothing more than a simple-minded, physically strong waste." The female disciple moved her sword away from Lu Xun's neck and turned to glare at the man who spoke wildly.

Tensions escalated, and both sides were on the verge of a confrontation.

"Clang!"

Lu Xun's sword fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.

Already in a highly tense situation, both groups heard this sudden noise and thought the other side had attacked first. They began to engage in a scuffle, avoiding fatal strikes, as killing someone in the city would result in being wanted by the authorities.

"What's happening? What's happening?"

The innkeeper hurried downstairs and was shocked by the scene before him. The tables and chairs were all broken, and several people were lying on the ground.

"Stop! Stop fighting! Don't continue!" The innkeeper desperately shouted.

As he spoke, one burly man, like a broken kite, knocked the innkeeper unconscious with a powerful blow. Struggling to get up from the ground, he picked up the dropped large knife and rejoined the fight with the others.

"Leader!"

"The officials must be coming!"

"What should we do?" The scarred man, looking at the Green Mountain Sect disciples who were evenly matched with them, anxiously asked the burly man at the side, "This won't work; all our brothers are injured."

"Let's go!" The burly man said coldly.

Hearing that the officials were coming, the Green Mountain Sect didn't dare to delay any longer. Despite being a reputable sect, fighting and causing a scene in the city would tarnish their reputation. They quickly fled as well.

The seven members of the Green Mountain Sect arrived at a dark alley and collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath. The senior disciple looked at his junior disciples and found that everyone had knife wounds. Frowning, he said, "When things calm down, let's find an inn to stay, and then…"

"Oh no!"

"I've lost my money pouch!"

The senior disciple suddenly realized that his money pouch was missing, and his face turned pale.

"I-I lost mine too."

"Even my silver is gone."

"Mine too!"

At the same time, the members of the Sky Eagle Gang, who were also fleeing, discovered the same issue.

"Leader! I've lost my silver!"

"Me too."

"I also lost mine."

…

"I'm so lucky."

"To think that I could pick up so much silver just by having a meal. The heavens truly favor me!" Lu Xun walked alone on the street, not worried at all about being chased. His pocket was bulging with the silver he had found.

Passing by a shop that sold rouge, Lu Xun pondered for a moment and quietly walked in.

"Young sir?"

"Are you buying rouge for your lady?" The shopkeeper of the rouge shop asked with a smiling face.

"Yes. Give me a box of your best rouge."

"Wait, make it two boxes!"

That was close! Lu Xun almost forgot about the big demoness.
