The Master's Wife's Teasing

The night shrouded the Li Family's patriarch's mansion. Li Shuidao walked heavily into the main hall, a chill permeating the air.

Li Haimo sat in an ancient chair, the candlelight reflecting on his weathered face, revealing a hint of worry.

Li Shuidao strode towards Li Haimo. Their eyes met, and Li Haimo spoke first, "Li Shuidao, how was your newlywed bliss? Is your wife to your satisfaction?" His tone conveyed concern and anticipation.

Li Shuidao smiled slightly and nodded in reply, "Patriarch, Xue'er is as beautiful as she is intelligent, and our time together has been very harmonious."

"That's good." Patriarch Li Haimo nodded with a smile.

"Patriarch, I wish to inquire about the murderer of Fourth Uncle. What did he look like? What was his cultivation level? Did he have any Companions? And where did he flee to when he escaped?" Li Shuidao got straight to the point.

"Why do you ask about this?" Li Haimo's eyes deepened.

"Fourth Uncle died because of me," Li Shuidao said slowly.

"This is not your fault. It's my fault for not investigating Xia Ruoxue's background thoroughly. I didn't expect this woman to be connected to a cultivator," Li Haimo sighed.

"Xia Ruoxue is just an ordinary woman from the martial world. The one truly connected to a cultivator is Lin Yunzhi, the person the murderer rescued," Li Shuidao explained.

"Forget it, the world is vast, we won't find him," Li Haimo shook his head.

"He will come back," Li Shuidao said.

"He won't! That person only had the cultivation of the middle stage of the Spirit Channeling Realm. He only managed to escape my pursuit by relying on his Companion, a black-feathered hawk-eagle. He doesn't have the guts to return to our Li Family," Li Haimo shook his head.

"I'm talking about Lin Yunzhi. Once he cultivates successfully, he will definitely return. I want to know more about that black-feathered hawk-eagle, at least so we can be prepared in the future."

After a moment of silence, Li Haimo slowly said, "The murderer looked like a middle-aged man, with messy hair, quite disheveled. His cultivation was only in the middle stage of the Spirit Channeling Realm. His Companion was definitely that black-feathered hawk-eagle. When I pursued him, he fled towards Cangzhou. Judging by his techniques, he should be a cultivator from the Divine Eagle Sect."

"Divine Eagle Sect?" Li Shuidao's expression turned serious.

"Although the Divine Eagle Sect's techniques are not weak, our Five Poisons Sect also has ways to counter them. I've already had the night patrol clansmen install mechanical crossbows, and the arrows are coated with our sect's potent poison. If that guy dares to come back, he'll never leave!"

"Shuidao, rather than racking your brains trying to deal with others, it's better to think about how to improve your own strength. The reason your Fourth Uncle died was not entirely because of others. Ultimately, it was because he was not skilled enough. If he had diligently cultivated a few techniques, how could he have been killed by a Yao Beast in a single blow..." the Patriarch said earnestly.

The Golden-Faced Gentleman's cave dwelling.

Master's Wife Qin Yue'e sat on a luxurious throne, looking down at Li Shuilang.

Her thighs were long and fair, and her attire was quite revealing. However, her gaze was sharp and piercing, like a knife.

"After your Companion ate the gecko bestowed by Husband, how has its cultivation progressed?" Qin Yue'e asked coldly.

Li Shuilang stood respectfully below Qin Yue'e, lowering his head slightly. He replied, "Master's Wife, my Companion's cultivation did increase after consuming the gecko venom, but it hasn't broken through to the middle stage of the Spirit Channeling Realm yet."

Qin Yue'e sneered, "Summon your Companion."

A flicker of unease crossed Li Shuilang's face, but he obediently released his Golden Scorpion.

The Golden Scorpion slowly crawled out of Li Shuilang's hand. Its body was golden yellow, emitting a faint glow. Although it hadn't advanced yet, its condition suggested that the breakthrough was imminent, just a step away.

Qin Yue'e tapped her storage bag and took out a packet of Purple Poison Powder, shaking it in her hand. "Do you want it?"

Li Shuilang swallowed and nodded, "Yes..."

"Then come up," Qin Yue'e commanded coldly.

Li Shuilang cautiously approached Qin Yue'e. They were now only a step apart, quite close.

"Closer!" Qin Yue'e's voice became softer and more alluring as she gave the command.

Li Shuilang could only cautiously move closer again.

At this point, he was only a short distance away from Qin Yue'e.

"Lift your head," the Master's Wife's voice became even softer and more seductive.

Li Shuilang obediently raised his head and saw Qin Yue'e's exquisitely beautiful face, like that of a celestial being.

Seeing her skin, so tender it seemed like it could drip water, Li Shuilang felt his throat dry.

He swallowed, his gaze fixed on Qin Yue'e.

This is so much more... full than Xiao Cui's. If only I could touch them a couple of times...

Qin Yue'e noticed Li Shuilang's direct gaze and deliberately puffed out her chest.

This made Li Shuilang even more parched, wishing he could pounce on her right now.

But he held back, after all, this was his Master's Wife.

Qin Yue'e chuckled softly, "Shuilang, you'll have to perform well later. If you satisfy me, you'll have endless benefits in the future."

Hearing this, Li Shuilang's heart pounded with excitement. He quickly said, "Thank you for your guidance, Master's Wife. Don't worry, I will do my best, my very best!"

"Come on," Qin Yue'e leaned back against the chair behind her, striking a pose of enjoyment.

Li Shuilang remained motionless.

"What? You don't know how?" she provocatively looked at the man before her.

"I'm only giving you this one chance. If you don't seize it..." Qin Yue'e didn't finish her sentence.

Li Shuilang suddenly lunged forward...

Slap!

Qin Yue'e slapped him across the face with the back of her hand, then kicked him hard in the stomach, sending him flying.

"Li Shuilang, how dare you be so disrespectful to the Master's Wife?" Qin Yue'e sat up, looking at him coldly, her eyes full of amusement.

Li Shuilang looked panicked, his mind and body feeling torn apart.

"Hahahaha..." Qin Yue'e burst into laughter, seeming quite pleased.

For the past six months, Qin Yue'e had been very unhappy.

That bastard Li Shuidao!

When she saw he was poisoned, she had eagerly taught him the cultivation method, thinking she could easily control him afterward with her looks and charm. To her surprise, he only took the benefits without being controlled.

Now, facing Li Shuilang, Qin Yue'e wasn't as gentle. She'd control him first, then give him benefits...

It was just too boring that this guy was so easy to subdue...

Thinking of Li Shuidao, Qin Yue'e's gaze turned wistful again.

Li Shuidao had a Toad Companion and was extremely intelligent. In time, his cultivation would surely surpass the Golden-Faced Gentleman's.

It was such a shame that such a man couldn't be completely controlled.

Indeed, what one cannot obtain is always the best.

"Take it." Qin Yue'e threw the Purple Poison Powder she was holding to Li Shuilang.

He quickly took it with both hands and kowtowed, "Thank you, Master's Wife, for your generous gift. This disciple is eternally grateful."

Qin Yue'e nodded, "Go back and rest well. Tomorrow, I will teach you how to ride a crane, and you will become a spirit beast master."

"Thank you, Master's Wife!" Li Shuilang hurriedly kowtowed, then turned and left.
