Today, My Uncle Died!

At that moment, an incredibly alluring woman suddenly appeared at the door.

She had a graceful figure and a voluptuous build.

[Madam Wang: Qi Gathering Realm Fox Demon, Merit available: 13]

The moment the voluptuous woman saw Liu Wei, her eyes lit up. She immediately took quick, dainty steps and scampered down the stairs like a frolicking fawn.

"Lord Liu!" The speaker was the madam of Jiaofang Si.

She looked to be around thirty, but a closer look at the rouge on her face would have suggested she was actually older.

She reached out with both hands, resting one lightly on Liu Wei's shoulder and the other on Chen Bin's. Her eyes stayed fixed on Chen Bin as she cooed, "I don't believe I've seen this gentleman before!"

"Madam, my brother here just broke through into the Qi Gathering Realm. He can now seal his essence and lock away his yang energy, so I brought him here to have some fun."

Liu Wei held nothing back, revealing Chen Bin's circumstances in full. Then he raised his voice and said, "Have Du Juan, Jun Lan, and Hong Mei come out to entertain us."

"My lord," Madam Wang said, her brows knitting slightly as she struggled to find the words. "That may be difficult. The county magistrate's son, Lü Xiu, and Commander Qian's son, Qian Du, are both here tonight. I'm afraid you won't be able to get those three girls."

"What, the two of them want all three to themselves?" Liu Wei's brows furrowed, and displeasure showed on his face.

"Not quite. Du Juan hasn't come out yet," the madam hurriedly explained.

"That's more like it."

Only then did Liu Wei's expression ease, returning to normal.

"Come, come!" Madam Wang beamed and warmly ushered them inside.

Quick as a flash, Chen Bin grabbed Li Kun, who was about to follow them in.

"Son of a—" Li Kun turned around, ready to fly into a rage and see which blind fool dared to ruin his good time.

But when he saw that it was Chen Bin, all the anger vanished from his face. He immediately forced a fawning smile and said, "Officer Chen."

After all, an Acting Small Banner was still a banner officer. Li Kun didn't dare offend him among the captains.

Chen Bin stepped closer to Li Kun and whispered a few words in his ear.

Li Kun stared at Chen Bin in disbelief, his eyes round as bells.

Chen Bin gave a firm nod. Li Kun immediately dropped his ingratiating grin and sobered up.

"What are you two doing?" Liu Wei called impatiently from ahead. "Get in here."

Li Kun glanced at Chen Bin, then called out, "Lord Liu, I just remembered that my wife hurt her back at home. I need to go back and change her dressing. I'll take my leave."

"You rascal..." Liu Wei started to snap, but—

Chen Bin quickly stepped forward and said with a smile, "Let him go. It's a good thing that Li Kun cares for his wife."

Since even Chen Bin had said so, Liu Wei waved a hand, signaling that Li Kun could leave.

Relieved as if pardoned from death, Li Kun turned and hurried back the way he had come, his footsteps frantic, as though something terrifying were chasing him.

The private room on the second floor was brightly lit.

Liu Wei and the others were all in high spirits, each holding a woman in his arms as laughter and chatter filled the room.

Chen Bin, meanwhile, seemed exceptionally calm. He merely sat beside a woman.

He quietly picked at the dishes, ate, and drank, occasionally watching the musical performance onstage.

The little Qi Gathering Realm fox demon beside him had 11 Merit displayed above her head. She had only just reached the realm and was respectfully, seductively pouring him wine.

The little demon accidentally brushed against Chen Bin's saber. He shot her a glare.

"Ah!" she cried. "Lord Chen, why bring a saber when you're drinking?"

Chen Bin thought to himself that if he weren't waiting for Li Kun to bring people over, he would have drawn his saber and cut this creature down already.

If you think this book is good, add it to your bookshelf so you can find it again next time.

The private room next door was lively. Lü Xiu and Qian Du, the two most distinguished and extravagant young masters in the city, were drinking and carousing inside.

Their laughter and the twittering voices of women carried clearly into Chen Bin's room.

Liu Wei looked a little embarrassed.

He had meant to bring Chen Bin here to broaden his horizons, but compared with the women next door, the ones around them were as different as heaven and earth—an ugly bunch. What kind of arrangement was this?

Still, since Chen Bin said nothing, Liu Wei could only let it go.

Chen Bin had naturally noticed the two young masters next door, with 4 and 5 Merit displayed above their heads.

But he knew that killing them tonight would bring a great deal of trouble, so he quietly decided that tonight he would kill demons only.

In the private room next door.

Madam Wang was fawning over the two important guests herself.

"Who's in the Di Zi Room next door?" Qian Du asked casually, toying with the wine cup in his hand.

The madam hurried over, carefully pouring wine as she replied respectfully:

"Banner Officer Liu from the Demon Suppression Division, with a few colleagues. One of them seems to have just reached the Qi Gathering Realm.

He's probably still a novice. He even wanted Miss Du Juan to keep him company!"

"Someone newly in the Qi Gathering Realm?" Qian Du's expression darkened at once. He grabbed the madam's hand and fixed her with a burning stare. "Chen Bin?"

The madam cried out in pain when he seized her hand, her face twisting, but she still hurriedly nodded. "Yes."

Qian Du snorted and released her hand in displeasure. He picked up his cup and drained it, but his chest still felt tight, so he downed two more cups in quick succession.

"Young Master Qian, what's troubling you?" Seeing this, Jun Lan hurriedly smiled and reached out to soothe his chest.

"Hmph!" Qian Du slapped the back of her hand with all his might. The crack rang out loudly.

Jun Lan turned pale with fright. She burst into tears and swayed, nearly collapsing to the floor.

The laughter around the table died instantly. Everyone fell silent, not daring to breathe too loudly.

Only one person in the room dared to speak. Lü Xiu had been enjoying himself, but the sudden turn of events spoiled his mood. "Old Qian, what happened?"

Qian Du took another drink, his face dark. "Today, my uncle died!"

"Ah!" The whole room gasped.

"What happened?" Lü Xiu pressed.

"Something this serious happened, and you don't know?" Qian Du gave him a look of mild displeasure.

"Me?" Lü Xiu chuckled. "I'd just woken up and come straight here to meet you. How would I have had time to worry about whether your uncle was dead or alive?"

"It was that Chen Bin who killed my uncle, and made my mother grieve and weep for so long." Qian Du's face was grim, and his eyes seemed ready to spit fire.

"Oh!" Lü Xiu's eyes lit up. He asked with keen interest, "What do you plan to do?"

Qian Du took a large gulp of wine and said viciously, "I want that Chen fellow dead!"

"The Demon Suppression Division is powerful. When it comes to demons, they can even take over the County Office and City Defense Division directly." Lü Xiu looked at Qian Du with curiosity. "Wang Sheng in particular is an outsider. In the end, he isn't one of us."

"So what?" Qian Du said nonchalantly. "My father is a commander in the City Defense Division. I'm not afraid of the Demon Suppression Division."

"I came here to meet a few people, but now that something like this has come up, I'm interested."

With that, Lü Xiu's lips curled into a sly smile. "I have an idea. It won't kill him, but it'll still take the wind out of the Demon Suppression Division's sails."

"Oh?" Qian Du immediately perked up, curiosity written all over his face. "What idea?"

"Didn't Liu Wei want Miss Du Juan?" A cold glint flashed in Lü Xiu's eyes, and his smile bared teeth like fangs. "Let's humiliate them with money."

Qian Du glanced at him and tugged at the corner of his mouth. "You... That really is a good idea."
