Heaven Slaying Blade

Inside the primary location of the Gluttonous Pavilion, in a room that was never open to the public, Miao Yi Niang was sitting with a tall, beautiful woman on one side, while Chu Mo and Xu Fufu sat on the other.

On the table, there were several dishes of exquisite cuisine and a pot of warm wine.

Miao Yi Niang's face was full of joy, looking at Chu Mo and Xu Fufu, "I really didn't expect you two to come over at this time."

Xu Fufu chuckled, "What, are you touched?"

Miao Yi Niang slightly nodded her head, smiling ambiguously, and glanced at the woman beside her, "Mei'er, aren't you moved?"

This beautiful woman was the most popular courtesan in the grandest brothel in Yanhuang City years ago. She was the leading lady in the incident with Xu Fufu... Liu Mei'er.

It has been four years since that incident. The once talented and beautiful young girl had matured into an exceptionally charming beauty. When the Gluttonous Pavilion was opening a branch, she was invited by Maio Yi Niang to manage it.

Due to Liu Mei'er's influence combined with people's curiosity, the branch had become popular even before it officially opened.

Liu Mei'er finally stepped out of her four-year seclusion and returned to the public eye. However, this time, hardly anyone dared to flirt with her.

Everyone knew that this stunning beauty was Xu Fufu's forbidden treasure!

Liu Mei'er's smile was charming, her eyebrows curved like the crescent moon, her face as smooth as jade, incredibly fair-skinned, with radiant eyes. She shyly chuckled, "Of course I am moved."

Miao Yi Niang chuckled, "If you're so moved, then offer yourself in return!"

Xu Fufu held his head in his hand. He had intended to outsmart Miao Yi Niang, but ended up being the one outsmarted. He looked at Liu Mei'er a bit plaintively, "See... if you had come to me sooner, could she have dared to tease you?"

Within Liu Mei'er's clear eyes, a hint of a smile appeared. Softly she whispered, "Haven't I always been with you?"

Xu Fufu wore a long face, "Everyone assumes I am your man, who would think I've never even held your hand? How unlucky am I!"

Liu Mei'er gently replied, "People say, that kind of thing... It's not good if done too early. I am doing what's best for you."

Pfft!

Both Chu Mo and Miao Yi Niang burst into laughter.

To become the most popular courtesan in the largest brothel of Yanhuang City, it clearly takes more than just having a beautiful face. Despite Liu Mei'er's usually shy demeanor, when it came to verbal sparring, Xu Fufu, the playboy, was no match for her.

Facing this, Xu Fufu could only lift the wine cup in front of him, drink it in one gulp, and wallow in resentment.

"Alright, don't sulk. In life and death... Mei'er is yours..." Liu Mei'er looked tenderly at Xu Fufu, then glanced at Chu Mo, "I have always wanted to properly thank Young Master Chu, but there was never a good opportunity. Today, here, Mei'er would like to propose a toast to Young Master Chu!"

Chu Mo raised his own wine cup, "Sister Mei'er, you flatter me. If it were not for Fufu, I would have been helpless in that situation."

Xu Fufu puffed up with pride, "Heard that?"

Liu Mei'er gave him a stern look, then took a sip from her cup.

Miao Yi Niang looked at Chu Mo, then Xu Fufu, and asked with some confusion, "Why do I get the feeling that you two... are a bit off tonight?"

"We came here to celebrate the New Year with you, is there something wrong with that?" Xu Fufu leaned back in his chair, speaking leisurely.

Miao Yi Niang shook her head, "No, normally you should both be at the palace attending the New Year's banquet, not here at the Gluttonous Pavilion. There must be something up. If you can't say what it is, let's not worry about it. Let's just drink."

Chu Mo said, "There's nothing inconvenient to talk about, since everyone will probably know about it tomorrow anyway."

Miao Yi Niang's enchanting eyes fell on Chu Mo's face, and Liu Mei'er, standing next to her, also curiously scanned the two of them.

Xu Fufu said from the sidelines, "Brother Hei's audacity is legendary, what with him smashing the Prince's Mansion's gate and causing a ruckus there... but all those things are in the past. Tonight, he took his daring to a whole new level."

A look of tension flashed across Miao Yi Niang's beautiful eyes as she asked, "What happened?"

Xu Fufu chuckled, "Look how scared you are. Isn't he sitting here just fine?"

"Tell us quickly!" Liu Mei'er also couldn't help but snap at Xu Fufu, perhaps because she was a bit jealous of Xu Fufu's popularity, although she didn't show it outright.

Xu Fufu said, "Tonight, Brother Hei almost fell into a trap. The Minister of Works, Zhao Yi, sent a coach - rumored to withstand an attack from even a fifth-level Thousand Men Slaughter, masquerading as a royal coach, to collect Brother Hei."

"Oh my god!" Miao Yi Niang and Liu Mei'er both sucked in a breath of cold air.

In spite of Chu Mo sitting just fine right here, they both felt chills run down their spine, feeling alarmed for Chu Mo's close call.

A carriage that even a fifth-level warrior would fail to break open... wouldn't Chu Mo be caged inside?

"What were they trying to do?" In Miao Yi Niang beautiful eyes, anger flickered. She gritted her teeth and asked.

Xu Fufu said, "What do you think they were trying to do? However, Brother Hei was so domineering that he escaped from the carriage, took the driver, burst into the palace, and in the royal dining hall, he... he beheaded Zhao Yi, Minister of Works!"

"What?" The two fascinating women both wore expressions of disbelief.

Xu Fufu then relayed the detailed account of what happened, even including the reactions of the top nobles present at the time. His perspective provided a clearer view of the nerve-racking scene that unfolded in the royal banquet hall tonight.

The two women were dumbstruck, just staring at Chu Mo.

"You... you murdered the Minister of Works in front of all those influential figures, and then the Emperor just sent you off, and you returned in no time? Nothing happened to you?" Miao Yi Niang looked at Chu Mo as if he were a marvel.

Even for disciples of the sect, the secular palaces are as dangerous as a dragon's den!

In any kingdom, even a small one, the palace is bound to be guarded by strong experts from various sects.

If any disciple of the sect were to truly see all the people in the secular world as ants, and believe that they could easily charge into the palace, then their end would be tragically pathetic.

Miao Yi Niang knew more than anyone how terrifying the palace of a powerhouse like Great Xia was, so she found it even harder to believe that it had happened.

Xu Fufu said, "What's this? There's even bigger news. When we were leaving the palace, at the palace gate, we met the Crown Prince, the Second Prince, and the Third Prince. Our Brother Hei stood up to them right then and there. The spectacle was truly epic!"

Liu Mei'er was completely stunned. Having experienced the turmoil four years ago, she understood perfectly well what power meant. Underneath the weight of power, no matter who you were, everyone would be crushed! For Chu Mo to dare to confront the Princes and still make it out unscathed... it was just too unbelievable!

Miao Yi Niang looked at Chu Mo and asked softly, "My young master, just what... are you trying to do?"
