Chapter Sixty: Death Under the Peony Flowers

  Besides, even if that wealthy family came to his doorstep, Chen Jiu wasn't afraid. Some things need evidence, right? No one saw Chen Jiu turn people into dogs, and most importantly, who would believe it if he said so?

  "Master, you're back. Earlier, Young Master Yi came here in a huff and left after leaving behind 100,000 taels of gold." The shopkeeper said as he greeted Chen Jiu at the door.

  "Hmm, I understand. Making money isn't easy these days. You can just leave the 200,000 taels of gold here as assets for the restaurant and let's not mention this matter again."

  "Alright." The old shopkeeper saw Chen Jiu's unsuitable expression and didn't dare ask more.

  Chen Jiu walked into the backyard and saw Zhao Xiaoyu admiring the newly risen moon, holding a wine cup in his hand, with a beauty of intoxication.

  "Have you been drinking?" Chen Jiu frowned and asked.

  "Huh? You're back?" Chao Xiaoyu asked in response.

  "Why are you drinking? You never used to drink before." Chen Jiu poured himself a cup and drank alone under the moon.

  "You tell me, why do you possess the golden tongue and jade words technique? This golden tongue and jade words cannot be performed by anyone but a saint. How did you manage to perform it? Could it be that you were a saint in your previous life?" The little fisherman said with drunken eyes.

  Chen Jiuyi smiled lightly: "So you were doubting this all along".

  "Yeah, I've been thinking about it all day today, and I still don't understand." Chao Xiaoyu put down his wine cup.

  Looking at Chao Xiaoyu with two red clouds on his face, Chen Jiu's heart moved.

  Chao Xiao Yu's age was not very old, only seventeen or eighteen years old. However, his talent was extremely high and intimidating. Every day, he dressed as a man but couldn't conceal his beauty, and under the moonlight, it added an air of cold elegance.

  Chen Jiubai smiled slyly, and for some reason, whether it was because of today's troubles or the pressure of the past few years, he suddenly became muddle-headed: "Let me kiss you once, and I'll tell you".

  As soon as these words came out, not only did Xiao Yu stare blankly, but Chen Jiu himself was also stunned.

  Xiao Yu's movements suddenly froze, then her face instantly turned red, she downed the wine in her hand, and then pointed at her own pale face with a slender finger: "You little brat, thinking of taking advantage of your sister? Come on, I'm not afraid of you, you're just a kid".

  Not bad, in Chao Xiao Yu's eyes, Chen Jiu was no different from his own younger brother, and was even a bit younger than his own younger brother. Moreover, he was Chen Jiu's master, and in this era where etiquette was more important than heaven, Chao Xiao Yu really didn't believe that this scholar Chen Jiu would dare to offend his teacher.

  Looking at Zhao Xiao's teasing eyes, Chen Jiu swallowed his saliva reluctantly, and now he was in a difficult situation: "Come on, who's afraid of whom".

  Chen Jiou walked a few steps and arrived in front of Chao Xiao Yu, smelling the faint fragrance, and looking at Chao Xiao Yu dressed as a man, he had another kind of flavor.

  The little fisherman raised his head, pointed to his own face, and struggled to control his heartbeat. He absolutely couldn't lose this round. After all, he was the husband, and he couldn't be defeated in front of his students: "Come on".

  "Husband, I've really come," Chen Jiujin said with a sob.

  Looking at Chen Jiu's evasive gaze, Chao Xiaoyu smiled, now with even more confidence in his heart, he really didn't believe that Chen Jiu dared to defy etiquette.

  He slowly brought his mouth closer to Chao Xiao Yu's face, stopping just a finger's width away, even his breath could blow into Chao Xiao Yu's neck, Chao Xiao Yu's face turned even redder, and even her neck had a hint of pink.

  To be honest, Chao Xiao Yu was so nervous that he almost died, and even had the idea of hitting him to fly away. However, just as Chen Jiu was about to kiss Chao Xiao Yu's neck, he stopped.

  Just as Xiao Yu was about to leave, he felt a surge of tension in his heart: "Fortunately, this kid didn't have the guts."

  "Master," Chen Jiuyin called out softly.

  A warm current of air blew onto Chao Xiao Yu's face and slipped into his collar.

  "Haha" Xiaoyu couldn't hold back, that air flow made her want to laugh, her neck itched, and all the magic power in her body completely dissipated.

  This morning, Xiao Yu's neck shook slightly, but he didn't move: "You're quite affectionate, aren't you? After we're done, tell me your secret".

  Under the moonlight, her skin was as smooth as jade. Chen Jiude took a deep breath, and in this situation, if he didn't take action, he wouldn't be a man.

  "Ah,..." This voice belonged to Chao Xiao Yu.

  "He kissed him, he really kissed him, how could this be, how can it be" Chao Xiao Yu's mind went blank in an instant, she didn't know anything anymore, as if she had been electrocuted.

  "It's even smoother than beautiful jade." Chen Jiulang couldn't help but use his wet tongue to lick it again.

  This situation lasted for three or four seconds. Chen Jiuxian was reluctant to let go and even hugged Chao Xiaoyu with both arms.

  This little rascal will startle Xiao Yu awake, and then Chen Jiu will be in trouble.

  With a loud crash, the entire courtyard shook, and Chen Jiu heavily collided with a large tree, falling to the ground without getting up.

  In his anxiety, Xiao Yu didn't show any mercy and at least mobilized thirty percent of his magical power.

  Looking at Chen Jiu who fell to the ground and couldn't get up, Chao Xiao Yu opened his mouth wide, wanting to scold him, but couldn't say a word, so he ran over and said: "Are you okay?"

  "No, it's nothing, just that he has lost consciousness, probably a broken bone," said Chen Jiu with a mournful face.

  Seeing Chen Jiu's appearance, Zhao Xiao Yu couldn't help but laugh: "Serves you right, who told you to offend me?"

  "Didn't you tell me to call you 'darling'?" Chen Jiu didn't dare say it out loud, and could only hold it in his heart.

  "Sir, quickly call a doctor for me, I'm so sick that I can't move at all."

  "It's okay, you won't die in a short while. First tell me the secret, and I'll help you find Lang Zhong," said Chao Xiaoyu.

  Chen Jiou clenched his teeth, "Even if I die under the peony flowers, I'll become a ghost. You're indeed a master, with skin and body like this, you can't be blamed: 'Do you know the curse technique?'"

  Morning little fish nodded: "I know, I know."

  Chao Xiao Yu carelessly replied, but halfway through his sentence, he suddenly stopped and said, "Don't tell me, you're using cursed magic, aren't you?"

  Chen nodded: "Congratulations on answering correctly, it's indeed a curse technique".

  "This cursed technique is one of the most heinous and overbearing in the world, sinister, ruthless, and poisonous. It has long been buried in the endless river of time, how did you come to know it?"

  Chen Jiubelowed his eyes and glanced at Xiao Yu's neck: "I don't know either, it just came to me suddenly".

  Chao Xiao Yu kicked Chen Jiu fiercely: "Stop playing with your mouth, quickly tell me, this magic is one of the divine arts that our people have been dreaming of, if you pass it on to me, I can exchange it with you, or even fulfill one of your wishes."

  "Is it?" Chen Jiu looked up and down at Chao Xiaoyu's body.

  With a "bang", Chen Jiu was hit again.

  "Don't stare."

  "It's killing me, if you don't find a doctor for me soon, I'll really be done for!" Chen Jiu wailed.

  "Don't worry, I have a good sense of judgment. As outsiders, we are all skilled in medicine and alchemy. I will personally set your bones for you."

  "Speaking of which, Chao Xiao Yu's tone was heavy with emotion as he said: 'First tell me where the curse came from, I'll help you set your bones'."

  Chen Jiufu looked at Zhao Xiaoyu with a suspicious gaze: "Really, you won't deceive me? After I say it, you won't kill me to silence me?"

  Chao Xiao Yu cried and laughed at the same time: "There's no need for that, hurry up and say it."

  Chen Jiou tidied up his words and said: "Since I've kissed you, I won't go back on my word, so rest assured."

  Looking at Chao Xiao Yu's eyes filled with anger, Chen Jiu hastily said: "I don't know how I learned it either, in my dream someone seemed to have told me, and I naturally knew how to do it."

  Looking at Zhao Xiao Yu who was deep in thought, Chen Jiu said: "Sir, let's set the bones first, otherwise I'll really be done for".

  Zao Xiao Yu Mei Mu looked at Chen Jiu with a glance, her fingers lightly moved, and Chen Jiu gently floated up into the air, then drifted towards a room.

  "This trick is really amazing!" said Chen Jiudao.

  In the morning, Xiaoyu's hands kept pressing on Chenjiu's body, and a cracking sound came from his bones. Chenjiu showed an intoxicated expression.

  "Is it comfortable?" Chao Xiao Yu asked gently.

  "Hmm, I'd rather die than be a fairy." Chen Jiuyi said with a flutter.

  "It's comfortable, you'll have to pass on the curse technique to me later." Chao Xiao Yu said softly.

  "Alright... uh? What?" Chen Jiu suddenly woke up.
