In the Cloud Sea Pavilion, the maid Xiao Qin entered Ninth Mistress's boudoir and put the robe on the table. "Girl, this month's monthly quota is five spiritual stones. It is one less than last year."
Ninth Mistress nodded, glanced at it, and said nothing. She knew very well why the number of spiritual stones in the monthly reports of the past two years had declined. First, the Su family had not had an expert in charge for thirty years, and was gradually despised by the Danxia Sect families, and the various resources they competed for were dwindling; secondly, in the past two years, the Yin family's supply of sacred incense to Shenwu Mountain had been greatly reduced, and the various spiritual beasts they raised were also in trouble, which naturally affected the income.
I don't know if this trip to Xikou is of any use. Can damn Yin Centipede retreat from the difficulties, stop being entangled, and restore the supply of sacred incense?
Yin Centipede shouldn't be stupid enough to ask Jing Zhao for confirmation on this matter, right?
Whether it succeeds or not depends on this month.
I just heard Xiao Qin say again, "Girl, Fifth Son-in-law sent out an invitation, saying that there will be a birthday banquet at the One Ridge Hall tonight, and the girl is invited to the banquet."
"Oh? His birthday today?"
"Susu said it was my birthday yesterday, and I originally wanted to have a banquet last night..."
"Is it my fault?"
"That's not what I meant. It's just that Susu said it was Fifth Son-in-law's twentieth birthday, so he tried his best to invite the girl to go."
Su Jiuniang thought for a moment and said, "You know I'm impatient with these trivial matters... Forget it, let's go there. I delayed his birthday party to make up for it. Go get... any birthday gifts to give?"
Xiao Qin smiled and said, "I asked Susu. His uncle talks about spiritual stones all day long. If you give him one, he will definitely be happy from ear to ear."
Su Jiuniang rolled his eyes. "Are you ready? I take it you want to go, right?"
Xiao Qin stuck out his tongue. "It's been a long time since I had a drink with Sister Susu. It would be nice to get together once."
The banquet that night was very lively, but it was quiet for a while after Tiger-Head Flood Dragon appeared. Liu Xiaolou kept smoothing things over and confessed to Su Jiuniang, saying that he and Tiger-Head Flood Dragon had been good friends and had a close relationship in life and death.
Tiger-Head Flood Dragon also nodded desperately and said that he came here specially to celebrate the birthday of his good brother Liu Xiaolou. He did not expect to meet Ninth Mistress. It was really blah blah...
Ninth Mistress did not fall out on the spot, but his expression was a little bad. It was only because he was familiar with Tiger-Head Flood Dragon when he was a child that he did not have an attack. But he didn't delay too long. After waiting for a moment longer, he said a few words to Tiger-Head Flood Dragon, drank a few cups, and then left.
When leaving, Liu Xiaolou was glared at by Xiao Qin, which made him feel guilty for a while. Fortunately, the worst situation did not happen. Ninth Mistress may feel unhappy, but so what? Not only did Tiger-Head Flood Dragon get two spiritual stones, but Ninth Mistress also spared one, which was really an unexpected surprise.
Tiger-Head Flood Dragon is also very happy. Although Ninth Mistress didn't give him a good look, it's not bad, and he even talked to him. This is the first time he talked to Ninth Mistress in the past three years. Would you rather not be drunk?
The contented Tiger-Head Flood Dragon got drunk that night and rested on the One Ridge Hall. Anyway, Madam is not coming back from the mountain, so it shouldn't be a big deal to stay as a guest for one night, not to mention that she is still a close friend of the Su family.
When he woke up the next day, Tiger-Head Flood Dragon was full of energy and said goodbye to Liu Xiaolou: "My dear brother, my foolish brother is ready to go home. If you have time in the next day, please come to Lion Ridge to talk. I will sweep the bed and wait for you to sleep with my dear brother!"
Liu Xiaolou asked with a smile, "Are you satisfied after just seeing him once? Brother Hutou is a true hero. This is the so-called ability to take up and let go."
Tiger-Head Flood Dragon shook his head and said, "If you can't let go, how can you let it go? It's just that Brother Yu knows that Ninth Mistress's heart is not with me, so he doesn't dare to force it. As long as she lives a happy life Shu Xin, Brother Yu will be satisfied."
Liu Xiaolou said, "This is considered letting go. Brother Hutou What's next? Why not choose a house with a lovely wife, and be average An An and happy Shu Xin?"
Tiger-Head Flood Dragon said with firm eyes, "Brother Yu has no intention of marrying in this life. He only wants to protect Ninth Mistress. If anyone makes her unhappy and makes her heart unhappy, Brother Yu will make anyone unhappy and unhappy!"

Liu Xiaolou sent Tiger-Head Flood Dragon to the outside of the mountain, and the two said goodbye reluctantly. Returning to the One Ridge Hall, he happily took out the spiritual stone points on his body, a total of four pieces.
These are four spiritual stones earned through hard work. They didn't come easily. I felt happy and joyful for a while, but also a lot of regretful, which I can't express in words.
Susu tidied up the house, changed the mattress, and washed the floor with water, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, "Young Master Jiao, what did you do to the house after you got drunk? I will not let drunk guests stay overnight in the future. If there are any drunk guests again, just send them back to the guest house. The smell..."
In order to clean the house, she changed into a tight-fitting short dress, which fully showed off her curved figure. Her arms and ankles were exposed, showing that her skin was delicate and shiny. This was a manifestation of a woman's true spirit after she had reached a certain level of cultivation.
Liu Xiaolou once again had the idea of studying the exercises with her, and said hello, "Come on, come on, Susu. Yesterday, I was inexplicably interrupted by an uninvited guest. I wasted a whole day. Let's continue now."
Susu pinched his nose and said, "This slave has just finished cleaning. It's not okay to be dirty."
Liu Xiaolou didn't take it seriously. "Where is it dirty? This body is just right..." After saying that, he went over and took Susu's hand.
Susu pouted and said, "Aren't you still unwilling to give in?"
Liu Xiaolou pulled her over and said, "Why are you willing to be unwilling... My late teacher said that as practitioners, we should put diligent cultivation as the first priority in our lives..."
"Uncle! Uncle!" Xiao Huan's voice sounded outside the door, followed by footsteps. Because the door was not closed, she barged in directly.
Liu Xiaolou was speechless. "Xiao Huan, have you made an appointment with Susu?"
Susu immediately covered his mouth and smiled, while Xiao Huan looked puzzled. "What's the appointment? Uncle, my wife is back. Please come to the front building to meet me."
Liu Xiaolou had a big surprise. "Invite me to meet you? What happened?"
Xiao Huan said, "The master has sent word that important guests are coming to visit. Please invite my wife and uncle to accompany me."
This is the main purpose of Liu Xiaolou - to announce to the outside world that Su Wuniang is a married woman, so that no one can think of anything wrong, so accompanying guests should be regarded as Liu Xiaolou's main job and his biggest responsibility.
The two maids were busy with their work, tidying up Liu Xiaolou and sending it to the front building. Su Wuniang had been waiting for a long time.
This is the second meeting between Liu Xiaolou and his wife after they got married. He is self-aware and does not dare to call her "madam" or "madam" in private. He still greets her with a respectful greeting. "Fifth Lady is back? How was your practice this time? You have made a lot of progress, right?"
Su Wuniang nodded. "Let's go."
The two left Qingyu Furong Garden and headed all the way to the Gua Lu Hall. When they arrived at the hall, Su Wuniang warned, "Don't talk nonsense when you meet the guests."
Liu Xiaolou nodded in response. "I know."
Entering Gua Lu Hall, you can see that the cheap father-in-law Su Zhi and Second Uncle Su Xun are there. The eldest son of the Su family, Su Long, is also accompanying the waiter. There are three tables at the guest table. The guests are not very old, and the leader is less than forty.
Looking at the person at the bottom of the table, Liu Xiaolou suddenly became excited and immediately wanted to turn around and run away. This man is extremely young, with a red Silk Ribbon tied on his forehead. His face is like a peach blossom and his eyes are like stars. He looks like a handsome young hero.
It was the Dongyang Sect disciple who chased and killed him all the way after breaking Jinping Mountain Villa - Han Wuwang!
