Chapter 169: The Yellow Sand Dragon Lord

“Kill a person? Who?” The Yellow Sand Dragon Lord looked puzzled at the alluring woman before him. “Does the grand Black Lotus Sect need my help to kill someone?”

“Well, it’s my trial within the sect,” Mo Zhu’er shrugged helplessly.

“And this person is no ordinary one.” Mo Zhu’er smiled sweetly. “He’s the prince consort of Wu Kingdom, Xu Ming, whose name now shakes the entire Wu Kingdom!”

“…”

The Yellow River Dragon Lord, who hung out in the Wu Kingdom, naturally knew about the prince consort.

“If I kill him, won’t the court of Wu Kingdom want to kill me? What sufficient benefits will you give me? Me?”

By nature lustful, the Yellow River Dragon Lord stared directly at Mo Zhu’er without a trace of restraint.

“If Xu Ming dies, wouldn’t it be fine for the Lady to serve the Dragon Lord? However, our Black Lotus Sect can offer something even more interesting to the Dragon Lord.”

“Oh? Do tell.” The Yellow River Dragon Lord stood with his hands behind his back.

“This Yellow Sand River is not small, but if the Dragon Lord wants to achieve enlightenment, isn’t the Yellow Sand River insufficient? In our Western Regions, there is a sea called the Blue Sea, which connects to the East Sea.

The East Sea has its master, but the Blue Sea does not.

At that time, the Dragon Lord can cultivate in our Blue Sea, wouldn’t that be wonderful?

As for the anger of the Wu Kingdom, can the Wu Kingdom possibly reach our Western Regions?

Moreover, I can promise the Dragon Lord, if the task succeeds, I will give the Dragon Lord a portion of True Dragon Heart Blood.”

Upon hearing ‘True Dragon Heart Blood,’ the Yellow Sand Dragon Lord’s pupils contracted sharply.

For any dragon, True Dragon Heart Blood was the most attractive existence, without exception.

“Words alone are not enough; why should I believe you?” The Yellow Sand Dragon Lord stared intently at Mo Zhu’er.

Mo Zhu’er smirked and took out a crystal bottle from her storage bracelet on her wrist.

Looking at the crimson liquid inside the crystal bottle and sensing the powerful aura, the Yellow Sand Dragon Lord swallowed hard.

No mistake! That was True Dragon Heart Blood!

Seeing the Yellow Sand Dragon Lord drooling like crazy, almost salivating, Mo Zhu’er inwardly chuckled softly and immediately put away the bottle of True Dragon Heart Blood.

“How about it, Yellow Sand Dragon Lord, do you agree or not?” Mo Zhu’er spoke in a seductive tone. “If the Dragon Lord agrees, then perhaps Bamboo Ink lying on the Dragon Lord’s bed with the True Dragon Heart Blood wouldn’t be impossible.”

“… Yellow Sand Dragon Lord gazed at Mo Zhu’er, ultimately slowly speaking, “Where is Xu Ming now?”

Mo Zhu’er: “If nothing unexpected happens, Xu Ming should already have appeared in Stone Family Village. Bamboo Ink awaits good news from the Dragon Lord.”

As the rain fell, Mo Zhu’er’s figure gradually disappeared from the Yellow Sand Dragon Lord’s line of sight.

When Mo Zhu’er reappeared, she was already on the surface of the Yellow Sand River. The young girl hummed a cheerful tune as she walked ashore and spat into the Yellow Sand River:

“Pfft! This eel actually wanted this lady to serve him? And he wanted True Dragon Heart Blood? After using you, your dragon sinew will belong to me!”

Mo Zhu’er swayed her hips and left humming.

“Madam, I am surnamed Xu, single character Ming, from Wudu, currently traveling the world with my younger sister. Here is my pass.”

Walking into the courtyard, Xu Ming took out his travel permit.

Mainly, Xu Ming wanted to prove that he was at least not an unknown person.

The young woman took it, glanced over it, and returned it to Xu Ming.

Xu Ming put away the travel permit: “May I ask how you should be addressed?”

“The villagers call me Third Lady Luo.” Third Lady Luo smiled.

“Does Madam need to inform your husband?” Xu Ming reminded.

This madam might be kind-hearted, but her husband might not agree.

Third Lady Luo shook her head: “My husband passed away many years ago. It’s just me and my daughter at home.”

Xu Ming: “Sorry…”

Third Lady Luo: “It’s alright, I’ve been a widow for so long.”

“Madam, perhaps I should look elsewhere?”

I don’t mind, but as a widow, having a big man stay here overnight, if people find out, any gossip could affect her poorly.

“Not necessary, sir, please don’t worry.” Third Lady Luo moved forward. “My reputation is already ruined beyond repair, I don’t care.”

Xu Ming: “…”

Third Lady Luo prepared a guest room for Xu Ming and Shen Shengsheng. Xu Ming gave Third Lady Luo one tael of silver.

Third Lady Luo didn’t refuse.

In the evening, Xu Ming greeted Third Lady Luo and obtained permission. Third Lady Luo stayed in her room while Xu Ming fetched water in the yard and took a cold shower.

Shen Shengsheng also wanted to take off her clothes to bathe.

But Xu Ming stopped her.

Xu Ming asked Third Lady Luo for a bathtub, filled it with water, closed the door, and let her scrub herself clean in the tub, then dress properly before coming out.

Xu Ming and Shen Shengsheng felt refreshed.

In the room, Xu Ming slept below the bed while Shen Shengsheng slept on the bed.

The two were spread out in a “big” shape, looking as if they had washed away the fatigue of the day.

Early the next morning, roosters crowed, waking Xu Ming and Shen Shengsheng. As soon as they stepped out of the room, they smelled the aroma of steamed buns and porridge.

There was also a little girl in the yard, squatting down watching ants.

After washing up, Xu Ming and Shen Shengsheng ate breakfast under Third Lady Luo’s hospitality.

Shen Shengsheng loved eating steamed buns because eating them didn’t require chopsticks.

As for the porridge in the bowl, just pour and drink it.

Xu Ming ate one bun, Shen Shengsheng ate one bun. Xu Ming drank a bowl of porridge, Shen Shengsheng drank a bowl of porridge.

When Xu Ming put down his chopsticks, Shen Shengsheng put down hers.

But Shen Shengsheng’s eyes were still fixated on the breakfast on the table.

She hadn’t eaten enough.

But Xu Ming had said that she could only eat as much as he did…

“Little sister hasn’t eaten enough yet? I’ll make some more.” Third Lady Luo looked at the adorable little girl with pity.

“Not troublesome, my sister has already eaten enough.” Xu Ming smiled.

Come on, Shen Shengsheng could eat ten pounds of meat in one meal.

To let Shen Shengsheng eat her fill would consume all their grain.

“Hmm hmm.” Shen Shengsheng nodded too, indicating she was full.

Although she wasn’t full, it’s okay, Xu Ming promised to cook her a special meal later.

“Thank you for your hospitality, Madam. Since it’s not early, we shall leave first.” Leaving early means no one sees us, avoiding trouble for others.

“Alright, sir, please go slowly.” Third Lady Luo didn’t try to keep them.

“Madam, please don’t see us off.”

Xu Ming and Shen Shengsheng left the courtyard and continued their journey.

But Xu Ming felt quite strange. By rights, villagers work when the sun rises and rest when it sets, but why wasn’t there a single person around?
