On the Avenue.

Chapter 202: The heart is like a tiger lying in wait, waking up with claws and fangs showing

Chen Shi's eyes fell on the old lady, his brows raised slightly, and his sleeves gradually fluttered.

There is no wind in the deep courtyard, but there is true energy flowing.

Like the wind, lifting the boy's clothes.

The old lady was a mature woman, with a look of wisdom that could see through all men. But a child like Chen Shi, with his clear eyes and no sexual desire, made her feel a little strange.

Although she is over 40 years old, she is well maintained and looks like she is in her early 30s.

The skin is smooth, fair and soft.

There is no extra flesh on the body, nor is there any missing flesh.

The places that should be raised will definitely be raised, and the places that should be recessed will definitely not bulge out.

It is thin where it should be thin, and round where it should be round.

Her temperament is otherworldly, giving people a feeling of a fairy who is high above, but at the same time she is full of lust, the contrast is extremely strong.

This is a difficult temperament to cultivate.

Temperament can be cultivated. Playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting can cultivate the temperament of a lady from noble family. Practicing meditation can cultivate the otherworldly temperament of a fairy. Rolling around among men can cultivate carnal desire. Then you can blend these temperaments together and turn yourself into a beauty.

Some men even looked at her with more passion than they did those young girls, filled with uncontrollable lust.

When Hu Feifei saw her, she felt ashamed of herself. Her methods were nothing compared to this woman. No wonder Sun Zheng ended up in Yanzhi Lane.

However, despite her charm, she could not arouse the slightest sexual desire in Chen Shi.

When Foxy saw Chen Shi's expression, she couldn't help but praise him as a man made of steel.

The solid kind.

Chen Shi glanced around and said, "Rouge Lane is the young master's property? Where is the young master? I want to see him."

He noticed that there were many things that could be used in this large mansion.

The firewood in the corridor can kill people. The porcelain vase with flowers in the corner is very sharp when broken. The well is also very good. Put a person headfirst into the well, and then throw a Five Thunders spell into the well. It should cause an explosion in the well.

There are also a pair of stone lions in front of the door. When I hit my head against them, I don’t know whether my head broke first or the stone lions broke first.

However, what caught Chen Shi's eyes the most was the Guifei bamboo in the corner. This kind of bamboo was solid and could be shot out in a rapier-like manner.

The best weapon he's ever used.

"Chen Shi, you have done more harm than good. You have turned your troops into birds before entering the city and entered the city to spy. You can say that you have alerted the enemy."

The lady smiled and said, "From the moment you entered the city, your whereabouts were under the master's control."

Chen Shi heard a series of footsteps, and saw five young women walking in from outside the deep courtyard. Each of them set up a shrine with a divine fetus in the shrine and their Nascent Souls in their palms.

They walked cautiously along the wall, about two meters away from Chen Shi.

This distance is extremely clever.

Chen Shi's physical attainments became stronger and stronger, his physical body transformed into a Taoist body. His attacks were fierce and domineering, and he could even reach within two meters in an instant with just a step, and one punch could penetrate the Yuanying force field!

But when the distance exceeds two meters, physical charges and punches and kicks are not that fast.

If the distance is more than two meters, the spell will be faster.

Each of their steps was exactly two meters away. Obviously, someone had reminded them not to step within two meters of Chen Shi!
"Young Master has studied your battles, starting from when you killed the Zhao family members in Huangyang Village. Young Master has studied every battle."

The old lady smiled and said, "The young master said that your strongest points are your physical body and combat awareness. Although you have not practiced the golden body type of techniques, your physical body is comparable to a real golden body. Coupled with your cultivation, he can determine that your close combat distance is two meters. Beyond two meters, you are helpless and can only use magic."

She clapped her hands, and saw the five beautiful young women each took out a sewing box and held it in their palms.

The sewing box was opened, revealing silver needles.

The needle is six inches long, longer than the big needle used to sew shoe soles, but thinner, like cow hair.

"This needle imitates the golden needle in the hand of the wandering Feng Feihua."

The old lady smiled and said, "Young Master has met Feng Feihua once before. He borrowed her golden needles to study for three days, and then made this kind of silver needles, which are specifically designed to break the golden body method."

The corner of Chen Shi's eye twitched as his gaze fell on the sewing boxes of these women. He saw a young woman with a red flower in her temple carefully picking up a silver needle. The needle was very thin and trembled slightly, as if it would bend with the slightest force.

But this soft needle brought him great pressure.

"This needle is extremely thin, but the young master asked the master of Bailian Hall to carve three kinds of talismans on the tip of the needle. And on the needle body, there are forty-six kinds of talismans engraved."

The old lady listed all the treasures, saying, "Each needle costs as much as a thousand taels."

The woman with a red flower in her temple urged the silver needle in her hand, and the silver needle flew silently. Chen Shi's eyes followed the movement of the silver needle, but he could hardly capture the direction of the silver needle. He could only see a tiny shadow passing by quickly.

The woman raised her hand and grasped the silver needle. In just a short moment, the silver needle had already flown around the mansion.

"There are a total of forty-five of these silver needles."

The lady looked solemn and said, "Forty-five silver needles, plus five Yuanying realm masters, the young master said, are enough to kill you here. What do you think?"

Chen Shi said with a serious expression: "Young Master knows me very well. I wonder if I can meet you?"

The old lady smiled and said, "The young master is not in the city now, so you can't see him. Chen Shi, you forgot your principles for the sake of profit on Phoenix Ridge, coveted the Resurrection Lotus, and killed the entire Taiping Gate family, young and old. Your crime is extremely heinous. The young master was very angry. He ordered people to look for you, but he didn't expect that you were so vicious that you killed them all, and only Pei Shu escaped alive. You did all these things, and I didn't wrongly accuse you, right?"

As soon as she finished speaking, one of the women suddenly waved her hand, and her Nascent Soul spurted out a stream of real fire, burning the bamboo in the corner to ashes.

Chen Shi's eyes twitched again. Normal people would not care about these bamboos. However, the Imperial Concubine Bamboo was destroyed, obviously at the order of the young master.

Young Master really knows him very well!

"I did it." Chen Shi admitted.

The lady said, "Young Master sent someone to investigate the scene, but he was killed. Young Master has studied it and this was not done by you. The person who did it was stronger than you, and his mind was more delicate. Young Master will find out who he is."

Chen Shi nodded slightly. Yu Tiancheng was a master in the Spirit Transformation Realm, and his cultivation strength was indeed much higher than his.

The old lady continued, "You found someone to refine the Soul-Restoring Lotus into Soul-Restoring Pills and consigned them to Juxian Tower. The young master sent people to investigate. Among the seven people, only one came back alive. The deaths of these six people..."

"It was me who did it, too." Chen Shi admitted readily.

The old lady sighed and said, "Your Excellency is truly guilty of a heinous crime. But the young master, considering your great talent and the fact that you are the top scorer in Gongzhou and Xinxiang, still wants to give you a chance."

"Jieyuan?" When Hu Feifei heard this, she couldn't help but look at Chen Shi with eyes wide open. No one took the exam, so how come he was the Jieyuan?
Chen Shi asked, "What opportunity?"

"Rebuild the Taiping Gate, and you will be the master of the Taiping Gate."

The lady said solemnly, "The young master values ​​talents. He will entrust important tasks to anyone who has some talent. If someone makes a contribution, he will reward him. He can teach the skills that outsiders cannot learn and the secrets of the family. If there is a woman you like but dare not propose to, the young master will go to her house to propose marriage for you. If you want to be an official, the young master will use his connections to buy you an official position. If you want to be a rich man, the young master will give you money. Which family can compare to the generosity of the young master?"

She paused, her face softened, and said, "Chen Shi, you studied hard, practiced diligently, and finally passed the examinations to become a scholar, then a juren, and are waiting to be assigned an official position. But how long will you wait? One year, two years, or even ten years? Some juren have waited their entire lives without getting an official position, and are so poor that they can only work as talisman masters and beg for food! But the things that you can only dream of, I will do my best to arrange for you!" Her words were indeed true.

If you work for a big family, even if you give your life for it, the big family may not reward you with your skills, let alone become an official.

The young master is clear about rewards and punishments. As long as you have made a contribution, he will give you sufficient rewards. The greater the contribution, the greater the reward.

The most important thing is that the reward from the prince is often what you want most. If you want power, he will give you power; if you want money, he will give you money; if you want a woman, he will give you a woman.

In today's world, it is extremely rare to find a master like this.

Chen Shi's eyes fell on a piece of hanging rope, and then he looked away.

Strangling to death is too slow and it is easy to be killed in return, unless you refine it into a rope to bind immortals.

His eyes fell on Hu Feifei's hat again. The corners on the back of the hat that were raised at both ends should be good.

Maybe there is an iron bar inside that can stab someone to death.

The old lady raised her hand and gently lifted the hair from her temples, smiling and saying, "You are only in your teens, right? You don't want to have to wait another ten or twenty years before you can get a job, do you? You are very talented and passed the imperial examination when you were only in your teens. Do you want to wait until your hair and beard are white before you can get a job as an official?"

Chen Shi changed the subject and asked, "Why did Auntie call her a little bastard?"

The old lady was slightly startled, touched the little girl's head, and said with a smile: "Do you know who her father is?"

Chen Shi shook his head: "I don't know."

The old lady smiled gently, rubbed the little girl's head, and said, "Her mother receives many customers every day, and she shouldn't have known which man's child it was. But unfortunately, this girl fell in love with a scholar. You also know that we have seen many men in our business and we won't be easily moved. But she fell in love. After she fell in love, she wanted to keep her virginity and only give her body to that scholar. You are a prostitute, why do you want to set up a chastity arch? Isn't it nonsense? So she got pregnant with the scholar's child, and the scholar slept with her but didn't pay her. Isn't he a wild man?"

She smiled and said, "A child born to a wild man is just a bastard, isn't it?"

"I see."

Chen Shi stared at her hands. The woman's hands never left the little girl's side. He asked, "What happened next?"

The old lady smiled and said, "You want to hear a story? Since ancient times, stories about talented men and beautiful women were mostly made up by poor scholars to deceive young girls who had never experienced the world. There were talented men and beautiful women, but the endings were never good. Beautiful women age easily, and talented men often lose their integrity."

She held the little girl's head and walked towards the large courtyard opposite.

The gate of the house opposite was opened. The house where Chen Shi lived was very desolate, with female ghosts everywhere, but the house opposite was full of spring scenery and magnificent.

Many young girls were either leaning on the railings, playing the pipa, singing softly, or lying on the green grass, kicking their feet and playing chess with the girl opposite, or sitting under the rockery in white dresses, reading.

Or they could dance barefoot in shallow water with graceful posture, and when their bare feet are lifted, white water splashes.

There was also a girl who was tuning the strings of a guqin, adjusting the pitch, with her head tilted to one side, her long black hair flowing down like a waterfall. She looked so serious, and indescribably charming.

Beside each girl, there was an old woman holding a bamboo whip, carefully correcting their postures. If their postures were not graceful enough, they would be whipped.

But even after being whipped, they did not cry and still had smiles on their faces.

There are also some rules for smiling. You should smile without showing your teeth. When you show your teeth, no more than eight teeth should be visible.

When she was being whipped, her slightly furrowed brows also had a kind of charming look that was so pitiful that it made people feel pity for her.

Hu Feifei bit her lower lip and looked at the girls in the yard opposite. She felt a little annoyed. She, a vixen, was now outshined by a group of humans. Is there any justice in the world?

The old lady stopped walking, turned around and looked at Chen Shi, saying, "When the scholar saw that she was pregnant, he naturally didn't want to marry a prostitute, nor did he want to have a child born by a prostitute. He was a scholar and had to take the imperial examination. If he married her, wouldn't he become a laughing stock? Of course, the scholar would run as far as he could. The mother of the little bastard thought that the vows of love would work, but in the end they were all in vain, and she even lost her life. Although she died, she left behind the little bastard."

When she said this, she laughed out loud, "A prostitute who sleeps with so many men every day actually believes in the men's vows of love! It really makes me laugh to death!"

She laughed for a moment, then stopped laughing and said, "Chen Shi, the young master said that you are a talent, and he gave you two choices. One, you come here, come to this courtyard, and take refuge with the young master. The girls in this courtyard are all yours to enjoy, and the young master can give you all the wealth and honor, and all the high positions and generous salaries. He can even tell you who has taken your divine fetus away."

Chen Shi was shocked and looked at her in disbelief.

The young master had indeed investigated him thoroughly and even knew about this matter!
This proposal was indeed a great temptation for him!
Even my grandfather couldn't find the person who stole his divine fetus, but this young master actually knew it. He is indeed very powerful!
He was a little hesitant. The temptation from the young master really hit his sore spot and made him unable to resist.

Chen Shi calmed down and said, "What about the second option?"

The old lady smiled and said, "The second option is that you hand over the money, send over the remaining resurrection pills, apologize, and then you can leave."

Chen Shi was stunned. He looked at the five young women around him and the silver needles in their hands, and asked in confusion, "I hand over the money and the soul-resurrection pills, apologize, and I can leave? You made such a big fuss just to make me apologize?"

The lady smiled and said, "Young Master did this just to tell you that it would be easy for him to kill you if he wanted to."

Hu Feifei whispered, "Brother Chen, what should we do?"

Chen Shi hesitated for a moment and said, "Hei Guo, take the money, get a pen and paper, and I will write an apology letter to the young master."

Hei Guo stood up, took out the cash box from the wooden cart, took out paper and pen, and began to grind ink.

The old lady smiled and said, "Chen Shi, you are indeed a man who knows how to deal with current affairs. You will become a great man in the future."

Chen Shi said expressionlessly: "This is also because the young master is too powerful. He forced me to this point and I had no choice but to give in."

The old lady chuckled and said, "In fact, you have a better choice. If you join me, all the girls in the yard behind me will be yours. They are all virgins."

Chen Shi snorted, feeling very unhappy, and felt that he had a lot of anger that he had nowhere to vent.

Hei Guo had already ground the ink and shouted.

Chen Shi walked up to him, picked up the pen, dipped it in ink, and lowered his head to write a letter of apology.

As he walked, the five young women followed him, always keeping a distance of two meters from him.

Silver needles flew towards Chen Shi.

The needle did not move, but the feeling of pressure had already reached Chen Shi, causing tiny pits to appear on the surface of his skin.

"What a sincere man, with an indestructible heart! He is not tempted by these girls at all."

The old lady praised her, squatted down and pinched the little girl's face, and said with a smile, "Little bastard, I adopted you out of kindness and gave you three meals a day, hoping that you would grow up quickly. When you grow up, you can receive customers and earn back double the money that I have spent on you over the years."

Chen Shi had already written the words "I was wrong" and gritted his teeth when he heard this.

"I can't do anything. The young master has studied me too thoroughly, and knows me better than he does. I can't deal with these silver needles..."

Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and Chen Shi took a step forward. Hei Guo's hair was blown up, and the strong wind blew away from his head. Hu Feifei's hat was also blown away.

Hei Guo raised his paw to grab Xu Xu, and Hu Feifei reached out to grab the hat.

At the same time, Chen Shi stepped to the ground, crossed a distance of two meters, and penetrated the Yuanying force field with his half-clenched left hand, hitting the throat of a young woman on the left. With a click, it shattered the larynx and broke seven cervical vertebrae in the back of the neck.

The writing brush in his right hand flew out, stabbing into the center of the eyebrows of the woman on the right like a sword. The huge force pierced through her head, and it slammed into the wall behind her, with her brains smeared on the wall!
"Fuck you, young master!"

——I will do my best today and will definitely make up for it with three updates!
