Chrysanthemums Bloom One After Another

"You are Nie Yun, the only son of Senior Nie Xiaotian?"

Nie Xiaotian had been the recipient of the Luoshui Golden Shield back then and was quite famous. As his son, though Nie Yun had kept a low profile, Feng Xiao had still heard his name. He had simply never expected to meet him under such circumstances, nor for him to appear in such a bizarre manner!

Besides, Feng Xiao had heard of disguise techniques, but a disguise this thorough was truly unheard of!

"That's right!" Nie Yun had thought he would need to say more before drawing the other man's attention, but unexpectedly, he seemed to know his name. Nie Yun smiled faintly. "I had long heard that Young Master Feng Xiao was accomplished in both letters and martial arts, blessed with exceptional talent. Yet I never expected that after being toyed with, you would not even realize it!"

"Toyed with? What do you mean?" Feng Xiao narrowed his eyes.

"Heh." Nie Yun chuckled, casually removed the lid from the jug in his hand, and tossed it over.

"Hm?" Feng Xiao could not make heads or tails of his actions, but he still caught the wine jug. Lowering his head for a look, his expression immediately turned ugly!

Though Feng Xiao did not possess the vast knowledge of an old antique like Nie Yun, who had lived two lifetimes, it did not mean he had seen nothing. As the heir of a great family, how could he fail to recognize a paired-chamber wine jug?

Nie Liu had actually used such a jug while drinking with him. There was no need to think further—he definitely had some unspeakable purpose!

"There are two kinds of wine inside. One of them has been steeped with Thousand Desire Flower. No matter one's cultivation, once this wine is consumed, after the time it takes an incense stick to burn, one's ** will surge wildly—ten times stronger than those so-called aphrodisiacs!" Nie Yun said casually.

"Ten times stronger than aphrodisiacs?" Feng Xiao had never heard of Thousand Desire Flower, but he knew what aphrodisiacs were. That stuff had been put in the wine... and then he had deliberately been placed in the same room as Nie Xiaofeng...

With things explained to this extent, if Feng Xiao still did not understand, then he was unfit to be his family's heir!

"Hmph. Why should I believe you?" Though he already believed seven or eight parts out of ten, Feng Xiao still snorted coldly.

"If you do not believe me, take this jug back and have someone examine it! Also, if you still have doubts, search this inn. I guarantee that Nie Liu has not left. He must be hiding here, waiting to see you make a fool of yourself. It is just that... I switched his wine with yours. Judging by the time, it should have taken effect already. You can go take a look at the potency of this wine while you are at it..."

Nie Yun gave a low chuckle.

"You switched the wine?" Feng Xiao hesitated. "Fine, I will go take a look. If Nie Liu truly is... acting strangely, I, Feng Xiao, will remember this favor!"

"Big Sister, stay here and do not go out. I will be back soon!" Seeing that the other man was mostly convinced, Nie Yun instructed Nie Xiaofeng before taking the lead and pushing the door open.

Nie Yun had learned something about the effects of Thousand Desire Flower in his previous life. Its potency was so fierce that Nie Liu would absolutely be unable to withstand it. If his sister went out and happened to see something inappropriate, it would be rather awkward.

"Mm!" Nie Xiaofeng had yet to recover from the change in her younger brother's attitude, but she still answered obediently and remained seated in the room.

"Why have you come out? Ah... Who are you? How did you get in here?!"

The moment he stepped outside, he heard shouting. Two men dressed like wine stewards emerged. They were likely people Nie Liu had left behind to keep watch.

"Heh." Without answering their questions, Nie Yun smiled faintly and flipped both palms forward!

Bang! Bang!

With two crisp blasts, the two men exploded into fragments at the same time, blood splattering across the floor.

Since he had already forged a grudge with the Nie Long Branch, there was no need for Nie Yun to hold back.

"How ruthless..." Feng Xiao, following behind him, could not help but have his brow twitch at the sight.

As the heir of a great family, he had naturally killed people before. But someone like this youth, who killed so cleanly and decisively without so much as changing expression afterward—not only could Feng Xiao not do it, he had never even seen it!

Was he really... that legendary good-for-nothing?

Thinking of the many rumors in Luoshui City, Feng Xiao could not help shaking his head.

Luoshui City had always spread rumors that Nie Xiaotian had become useless, and that his son was even more useless. Since Feng Xiao had never dealt with either of them, he had not paid much attention to the rumors. But now, if someone like Nie Yun, so ruthless and decisive, was called useless, then what did that make him? Would that not make him even more useless?

After killing the two wine stewards, Nie Yun acted as though he had done something utterly trivial and scanned the inn's main hall.

Since Nie Liu was waiting to watch the show, he naturally would not stand around in the main hall and risk Feng Xiao noticing something. After searching around, Nie Yun's eyes settled on a room directly opposite.

Inside that room.

"Young Master's schemes are truly unrivaled! Feng Xiao has always cherished his reputation. Now that he has consumed Thousand Desire Flower, as long as he violates Nie Xiaofeng, we will have grasped his weakness. There will be no fear of him refusing to help us!"

Steward Nie Lin looked respectfully at the young master before him, his triangular eyes gleaming with excitement.

To ensure the drug's efficacy, he had specifically found people to test Thousand Desire Flower. An ordinary person who took it could bed ten women in a single night without issue. One could imagine that Feng Xiao must already be controlled by ** at this moment, his beastly nature raging forth!

"We still have to be careful. He is the Feng Family's only heir. If even one step in plotting against him goes wrong, it will bring unnecessary disaster upon the branch!"

Though Nie Liu spoke of caution, his face bore a smile. Clearly, he was absolutely certain of today's plan!

"Heh, what Feng Family's only heir? Before Young Master, is he not the same as **? Hmph, those old fools in the family are truly blind. If Young Master had been allowed into the family core, our Nie Family would have become Luoshui City's foremost family long ago!" Nie Lin flattered him.

"I would not dare say I could make the Nie Family Luoshui City's number one family, but if I truly held power, then within a year, I could definitely double the Nie Family's wealth!"

With a flick of his sleeve, Nie Liu's eyes brimmed with confidence.

"Double the wealth! Young Master is truly impressive, your wisdom and strategies unmatched beneath heaven..." Hearing his young master's somewhat arrogant words, Nie Lin's eyes gleamed again. He was about to offer more flattery when he suddenly noticed a flush rising on his young master's cheeks.

The flush was extremely strange, like a young maiden whose heart had stirred at the sight of her beloved!

As the steward of a wealthy branch, how could Nie Lin's private life possibly be clean? To say nothing else, just last night he had been riding a woman who had thrown herself at him, and it seemed... when things had been at their fiercest, the blush on that woman's face had looked just like this...

Cough, cough! Thinking of this, Nie Lin felt awkward and could not help scratching his head. When he looked at his young master again, he was startled.

By now, his young master had torn half his clothes away, his hair was disheveled, and a flame of ** burned ceaselessly within his bloodshot eyes.

"Young Master, Young Master, what is wrong with you...?"

At this point, no matter how foolish Nie Lin was, he knew something had happened to his young master. He hurried forward, intending to support him, but the moment his hand touched him, an arm wrapped around his waist.

"I want..."

With a crazed roar, the young master lunged at him.

"Mother of heaven, Young Master, I am a man..."

Nie Lin was nearly driven mad by this situation. He was a man, yet he was about to be taken by another man... Heavens! If that truly happened, he might as well die!

Shuddering, Nie Lin broke free of his young master's grasp and turned to flee. Yet before he got far, he suddenly felt his body go numb. All the strength in his body was sealed away, and with a heavy thud, he crashed to the ground.

"I want..."

Regardless of whether the person before him was male or female, Young Master Nie Liu roared again and pounced directly at him.

Rip! Rip!

Nie Lin's clothes were torn away, and then the chrysanthemum behind him went whoosh...

Into full bloom.
