Chapter 70: Daji and Huang Zhong's Affair Exposed as the Great Expedition Draws Near

  And then there's Huang Shiren, who uses seeing a doctor as an excuse to flirt with Daji. He ate tofu for half an hour and was extremely pleased, so he flipped over, sat up, got out of bed, and said to Daji: "Miss, it's done."

  Daji opened her eyes to find her clothes disheveled, and remembering Huang Shiren's actions from earlier, she felt so ashamed that she couldn't even lift her head. She quickly tidied herself up and sat down next to Huang Shiren.

  "Miss, your illness is easy to cure." Huang Shiren said with a sip of tea.

  "Thank you, Taoist priest. You are a noble person, just call me Xiaoyi." Taoyi thanked him.

  "Haha, alright then. But I'll call you Daji, and you can call me Huang Gege. What's with all the 'Daozhang' this and that, it doesn't sound good to my ears."

  "This can't be right?"

  "What's wrong with calling you when I let you call?"

  "Taizi obeys. Daozhang... no, Huang Dagei, I don't know how to treat this." Taizi said in a low voice.

  "Taizi, how do you think I look?" Huang Shiren leaned in, smiling.

  "Ah?!" Tuo Ye heard this and was perplexed, her body shrinking back as she looked at Huang Shi Ren. Although this Taoist priest was thin and even a bit sordid, between his eyebrows and in the curve of his smile, there was something familiar, unlike the usual stern and serious expression of most Taoist priests.

  Daji was only sixteen years old, still a girl, with a playful heart, and disliked those serious Taoist practices. Thinking about Old Huang's behavior towards her earlier, and thinking about how he took the initiative to treat her illness, she naturally felt grateful.

  "Your demeanor is as elegant as a fairy's." Taizi's face turned red, and she lowered her head.

  "Bullshit, fairy wind and Taoist bone. I'm telling you, there's no difference between immortals and ordinary people, just a longer lifespan. Humans get sick, immortals get sick too."

  "No, I heard from my father that the immortal was born with heaven and earth."

  "Although it is said so, fairies and humans have their own troubles and illnesses."

  "Is Xianzhang ill too?"

  "Yes."

  "What's wrong with you?"

  "Are you troubled by heart disease like me?"

  "Does the immortal also have heart disease?"

  "Not bad, your illness is heartache, mine, haha, is something called spicy wok."

  "May I ask, venerable immortal, what is this spicy crow?"

  "Spicy black, spicy black refers to the relationship between men and women... never mind, you'll understand later." Huang Shiren chuckled and took out a golden elixir from his immortal bag.

  Daji saw this object with auspicious aura in all directions, fragrance filling her nostrils, and the light was so pleasant that just smelling it made her heart feel extremely comfortable, knowing it was a treasure.

  Huang Shiren took out this Dan, which was obtained from Duobao Daoren's search for the Golden Elixir, called Gu Shen Dan. This Dan is a second-turn Golden Elixir, and it has little use for those who have reached the True Immortal realm or above, but it is extremely useful for those small demons who have not yet reached the True Immortal realm. Jin Ao Island recruits widely, with many new small demons entering the sect, and after obtaining this Dan, their spiritual energy is strengthened, and their cultivation naturally doubles in efficiency.

  This golden elixir was useless to Huang Shi-ren and had been idle for a long time. Who would have thought that it would come in handy today?

  "This is the golden elixir I've worked hard to obtain, it's extremely precious. In the past, a great sage named Duobao offered me a basket of magical treasures in exchange for it, but I refused her. Now, Taizi, you take this elixir and eat it." Old Huang said seriously.

  "Daozhang, this dan is so precious, if I, a small woman, eat it, wouldn't that be a waste!" Taji didn't know the details of this golden dan, she just thought it was precious and heard Huang Shiren say so, how could she bear to eat it: "This small woman has heard Father say, the xian dan is most important for the xian people, sometimes refining one xian dan requires several hundred years, this dan must be needed by the xianzhang as well, this small woman cannot eat."

  "Alas. Honestly, I can tell you that whether or not I can become a Xian of the Daluo level depends on this golden elixir. However, Taizi, I'm willing to give it to you, it makes me happy, if you don't want to eat it, I'll smash it!" Old Huang's words were as gentle as water, and he raised his teacup as if to smash it.

  "Daozhang!" Taizi grabbed Huang Shiren's hand that was holding up a tea cup and shook her head, saying: "Daozhang, don't be like this!"

  "Will you eat?" Huang Shiren looked at Daji, and they gazed into each other's eyes, both of them momentarily stunned.

  "Daji, I said it, I'm happy, I'm pleased. You're fine, and I'm fine too. Got it?" Old Huang said softly.

  Daji's face turned red and her ears were burning as she took over the dan: "Huang Gege, Daji... Daji is eating."

  "This is more like it." Huang Shiren chuckled with joy, beaming with delight.

  Looking at Huang Shiren's face with this "sincere" smile, looking at the golden light flashing in his hand, Ta Ji's heart surged with a strong warmth.

  This Huang brother, for his own sake, is willing to give up such a precious elixir for himself. Taizi, you're not eating the elixir, but a new idea! Taizi's heart is in disarray, looking at Huang Shiren, and doesn't think this guy looks ugly anymore.

  Holding the golden elixir, Cherry's small mouth opened slightly, and as soon as the elixir went down her throat, she felt a warm current surging through her body. She was drenched in fragrant sweat, not only did the hidden pain that had been in her heart since birth disappear, but she also felt that her entire body was refreshed beyond compare.

  "Huang Dage, this pill is really good!" Taizi smiled and said.

  "Of course, Golden Elixir!" Huang Shiren laughed and said: "Taizi, this elixir not only cures illnesses, but also makes women's beauty last forever. Even an ugly woman can become a beautiful one after eating it."

  Huang Shiren said this, feeling that he had misspoken, slapped his own mouth and said "Ah! My stinky mouth, Diaochan is the number one beauty in the world, of course she doesn't need to be like this."

  Daji, being a girl, naturally loved to hear people's praise. Seeing Huang Shiren like this, she couldn't help but smile sweetly!

  A smile, and a hundred charms are born; it's enough to make an old monk's heart leap with excitement!

  Damn it! Such a beauty, I say whatever can't let her lose her life!

  She's mine! Mine, Lao Huang's! I'm going to make her my zhāi fū rén (a term used in ancient China to refer to a woman who is taken as a wife by a powerful man)!

  Thinking of the Investiture of the Gods, this poor child will soon die at the hands of Xuan Yuan's tomb fox demon Bai Jiu'er, and then use a corpse to revive his soul. Huang Shi-ren's heart is secretly pained.

  The palm and the back of the hand are all flesh! Jiuer is not bad, Daji is also good, and the heavens have the virtue of rebirth. I'm doing this to help the heavens, not for personal gain.

  She watched Huang Shiren laugh for a while and then suddenly become crazy, then lower his head as if thinking about something, looking amusing, and laughed again.

  As for the crowd in the great hall, they saw Huang Shiren leading Daji into the room and not coming out for half a day, so they were all anxious.

  That room was not far from the main hall, first it was quiet and soundless, then I heard Daji calling out "What is Daozhang doing?" "Daozhang, this humble woman is so itchy..." and such words. If it weren't for the presence of Wen Taishi and Su Hu, I would have already charged in with my sword to kill that vile person.

  Su Hu and Wen Zhong were also at a loss for words.

  Daji is Su Hu's treasured darling, but Huang Shiren thinks this move of his is not quite right. This military advisor seems suspicious at first glance, and it can't be good if my daughter falls into the tiger's mouth! But then he looks at Wen Taishi again and feels more at ease: although that scoundrel looks evil, he was invited by Taishi after all. I know Taishi's character well, and he wouldn't invite some wicked or heretical people.

  He didn't know that Wen Taishi was now thinking of dying, and in his heart he secretly called out: "My master, you must not do anything shameful under the watchful eyes of everyone. The two armies are about to clash, if you offend Su Hu and mess with his daughter, making him turn against us, it would be disastrous!"

  A group of people, each with their own thoughts, yet coincidentally inquired about Huang Shiren's ancestors for eight generations.

  After waiting for nearly an hour, Huang Shiren led Taizi into the main hall.

  Huang Shiren was in front, with a look of satisfaction on his face. Taizi, on the other hand, had her head lowered and her face flushed red as she gazed at Huang Shiren, her eyes becoming exceptionally gentle.

  Seeing this scene, the generals would have hated to chop up this cheap person with chaotic knives.

  "Daughter, how are you?" Su Hu rushed up and grabbed Taizi from head to toe, afraid that his daughter had been taken advantage of.

  "Father, Huang Da...Huang Daochang is great! Not only did he treat my illness, but also gave me a precious elixir. From now on, I won't have to suffer from this disease again." Taizi replied.

  "Really?"

  "Really."

  "Anything else? Nothing much happened?" Su Hu asked.

  Daji's face turned red with anger: "Father! What are you talking about? What else could it be?"

  "Hehe, alright alright, Father's words!" Su Hu smiled and walked up to Huang Shiren, bowing: "Thank you, Master Dao, for saving my daughter!"

  The people around heard what Daji said, and when they learned that Huang Shiren had used a precious golden elixir to cure Daji's illness, they finally breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at Huang Shiren, they also felt that they had just been narrow-mindedly suspecting him.

  "Daughter, Father and the adults still have important matters to discuss, you hurry back." Huang Shiren made a fuss, Su Hu didn't dare let Da Ji stay here any longer.

  "Yes." Taizi bowed to the generals, walked slowly out of the hall, came to the door, turned her head and glanced at Huang Shiren with a smile, then turned around and left.

  This smile is truly breathtaking, it makes Lao Huang's heart bloom with joy.

  This should be a smile left for sentimentality!?!

  Daji, my good sister, can you spare my life? As your elder brother, I have nothing to repay you with, and all I can do is leave behind offspring for the future.

  The onlookers were green with envy: "Damn it, isn't this a beautiful flower about to be inserted into cow dung? Heaven must have gone blind!"

  Huang Shiren was in a great mood, lowering his head and only focusing on drinking and eating, like a starving ghost.

  "Marshal, now that the rebellion has been put down, are there any further orders?" Su Hu rose to his feet and asked Wen Zhongdao.

  Wen Zhong hesitated for a moment, then said: "To be honest, I lost to Yuan Futong last time because he had someone backing him up. This time, I've come with the help of my Shifu, and as for how to quell the rebellion, it's all up to Shifu."

  Upon hearing Tai Shi's words, the gaze of all the generals focused on Huang Shiren.

  This guy just keeps his head down and eats and drinks.

  "General, what are you ordering us to do?"

  "Please instruct us, General!" All the generals stood up simultaneously.

  Although despising Huang Shiren, everyone present is loyal to Da Shang and dare not be presumptuous about national affairs.

  "It's easy to say." Huang Shiren wiped his oily mouth and stood up, saying: "This Yuan Futong is just an ordinary person. The reason why Master Wen lost before was not that Master Wen was not as good as him, but the person who supported him from behind was very capable. This time, two princes came in person, naturally it will be a successful victory. As for the person who supported Yuan Futong from behind, let me handle it."

  "Gentlemen!" Huang Shiren said, raising his wine cup. "We are the great merchants, since the founding of our country by Emperor Tang, we have enjoyed peace and prosperity for over 600 years. Our previous rulers were wise and just, the country was at peace, and the people lived in happiness and contentment. Yuan Fu's actions are against heaven and against the people, unkind and unjust! I implore you all to think of the state and the people, and vow to defeat this rebel, we will not return until it is done!"

  Huang Shiren's words stirred up the hearts of all the generals, and their ambitions soared!

  "I swear to defeat this bandit! I will not return until it is done!"

  "I swear to defeat this bandit! I will not return until it is done!"

  "I swear to defeat this bandit! I will not return until it is done!"

  The hall was filled with excitement for a moment!

  Yuan Futong, Yuan Futong! This time, Grandfather wants to see who's backing you up, what kind of powerful being is it?!
