Evil of all ages

Chapter 58 Snake Girl
After leaving the arena, Huang Taichu stopped in front of a restaurant.

This restaurant is called Snake Tower.

Inside the snake tower lived a snake woman, who was an absolute beauty.

Beauty is a grave sin!

Moreover, this is happening in the ghost market.

But she managed to keep herself unscathed.

Besides being a naturally powerful being herself, she also keeps a giant king snake.

Those who harbor ill intentions towards her have long since died inside the king serpent's belly, without her even needing to lift a finger.

How could a beautiful flower not attract bees and butterflies?

To avoid these troubles, and to have the money to buy pigs, cattle, and sheep to feed the king cobra and raise other snakes, this restaurant was established.

The restaurant is called Snake Restaurant, so naturally it sells snake wine.

This snake wine is extraordinary; even heroes and warriors will get drunk after drinking it.

The snake woman then established a rule that anyone who wanted to marry her had to withstand a test.

Different people have different numbers of cups.

If an ordinary person wanted to marry her, all they had to do was drink three cups of wine without getting drunk.

But most people get drunk after only half a cup, and very few drink a full cup.

Those below the level of a martial artist who has acquired the Heavenly Realm shall receive five cups!
The next level, seven cups!
Innate level, nine cups!
In addition, there are age restrictions.

That means the challenger can't be over forty, because the snake woman is in business and doesn't want to marry an old man.

As for why there is no limit to the number of cups for Grandmasters and Supreme Masters.

Why else? If a grandmaster or supreme expert takes a liking to her, how can she possibly resist?

Huang Taichu loved this kind of challenge, so he stepped inside.

I must say, it truly lives up to its name as the Snake House; it keeps a great many kinds of snakes inside.

These snakes slithered everywhere except into the area where guests were entertained.

In the guest area, there were already five people, all of whom were江湖人士 (jianghu figures) who did not believe in fate. Four of them were already drunk and slumped over the table.

The remaining person stared at the half-empty cup of snake wine, struggling and remaining silent for an unknown period of time.

Perhaps it was Huang Taichu's arrival that broke the tranquility.

He was proud and didn't want outsiders to see that he lacked heroic spirit, so he gritted his teeth and drank half a cup of snake wine.

Unsurprisingly, he closed his eyes and passed out drunk.

There was also an old man inside the Snake Tower; he was the owner and waiter.

When he saw the new guest arrive, he thought to himself: Another challenger who doesn't believe in evil has come knocking.

He was naturally happy to see such people, after all, they were easy targets who had brought him money.

"Young man, do you know the rules?"

"Old Nan asked."

"Know"

When you open a business, snake wine isn't free; in fact, it's quite expensive.

The first cup of snake wine costs ten taels of silver!

The second cup, fifty taels!
The third cup, one hundred and fifty taels!

……

The higher the cup number, the more expensive it becomes; it's practically robbery!

Even so, fools still come to give money every day.

Huang Taichu put down ten taels of silver, plus two hundred-tael silver notes, and raised his hand for Nan Lao to check whether he was an ordinary person.

Mr. Nan really wanted to say that there was no need to take out so much at once; an ordinary person would be knocked out after just one cup.

There's no need to take the silver notes afterwards, because you won't get any drinks.

But since the other party had already taken it out, he was too lazy to say anything. He would just return it to the other party after they sobered up.

Why not pay it back now?

Because many ordinary people consider themselves extraordinary and think they can drink three cups.

It would be a waste of breath to say that now.

With a touch of his hand, he channeled his inner energy into Huang Taichu's body and examined him; he was indeed an ordinary person.

"Please have a seat, sir."

Old Master Nan asked Huang Taichu to wait a moment while he went to prepare the snake wine.

Huang Taichu casually found a table and sat down.

A moment later, Old Man Nan brought over a cup of snake wine on a wine board.

This glass is quite large, three times the size of a regular wine glass. The snake wine inside is milky white, just like freshly made goat milk.

If it weren't for the lingering, strong smell of alcohol in the air, people would suspect that this was a hoax.

"Why only one cup?"

Huang Taichu asked.

"Sir, please bring me one cup at a time. After you finish this cup, I will go and get another one."

Mr. Nan did not serve all three cups at once, for fear of wasting them, because he had never seen an ordinary person drink a second cup.

"Old man, if you don't have faith in me, be careful I become your young lady's husband and fire you first."

Huang Taichu laughed in a joking tone. Old Master Nan didn't take it seriously; as long as they weren't there to cause trouble, everything was negotiable.

As for those who cause trouble, they can only go inside the belly of the king snake to calm down and be reborn safely.

Huang Taichu picked up his wine glass and drank it down, much to Nan Lao's slightly surprised look.

“Good wine”

"I knew it! There are so many hidden talents in the Ghost Market, how could I not come here out of curiosity to drink snake wine?"

"They couldn't handle it because you added something different to the wine."

Huang Taichu said with a smile.

"you……"

Upon hearing this, Elder Nan's pupils contracted. He knew that adding something to wine was not unusual, but it was something an ordinary person could detect.

"Shouldn't we bring out the remaining two cups of snake wine?"

Huang Taichu reminded him.

Old Nan withdrew his astonishment; he had already realized that the person in front of him was no ordinary person.

While getting the snake wine, he also went to the backyard to inform the young lady.

Soon after, Old Man Nan came out carrying two cups of snake wine.

Huang Taichu didn't say anything, but picked up a cup of snake wine and drank it down.

After drinking a cup of snake wine, Huang Taichu still didn't seem drunk.

This made Elder Nan feel terrified; he wondered if this person in front of him would actually succeed in the challenge.

This is the third cup.

Huang Taichu picked it up with a smile and drank it in front of Elder Nan.

After drinking it, Huang Taichu realized there was something wrong with the snake wine, but he didn't care.

This was to prevent him from being a rival or a greedy person who had come looking for him.

"I've drunk all three cups. Have I succeeded in the challenge?"

Huang Taichu chuckled.

“You…you come with me.”

Seeing that Huang Taichu showed no signs of drunkenness, Nan Lao was thrilled, but since the other party had already successfully challenged him, he couldn't renege on his promise.

He could only take Huang Taichu to the backyard to find his young mistress.

Entering the backyard, we found it to be quite large, with over a dozen tall trees.

The giant serpent was coiled on several tall trees.

Upon closer inspection, it was indeed enormous; its length was unknown, but its thickness was about the size of a millstone.

Those cold-blooded, snake-like eyes would terrify any ordinary person who saw them.

Unfortunately, Huang Taichu never took snake demons seriously, let alone a snake that had not yet transcended the mortal realm.

Seeing Huang Taichu's calm demeanor in the face of the king snake, Nan Lao felt uneasy.

They suspect that Wong Tai-cho is a cunning old monster who is pretending to be weak while actually being strong.

Nan Lao led Huang Taichu to a room and stopped in front of it.

"Miss, someone has succeeded in the challenge."

Nan Lao reported inside.

"Let him in"

A seductive voice came from the room.

Upon hearing this, Elder Nan opened the door and gestured for Huang Taichu to enter.

When Huang Taichu went in, Nan Lao closed the door and stood guard at the entrance.

There was a huge wine tank inside the room.

The snake woman sat by the pool of wine; she was barefoot, with her legs below the thighs exposed.

She was paddling the wine in the wine pool with her jade-like feet.

Huang Taichu's eyes lit up slightly when he saw her for the first time.

She was dressed very little, only in a strapless top, and large expanses of fair and rosy skin attracted attention.

Her face was delicate and alluring, and her captivating eyes held an irresistible allure, constantly stimulating a man's senses...

She's a natural beauty.

He was sizing up the snake woman, while the snake woman, Shangguan Yunyao, was also observing Huang Taichu.

Her first impression of Huang Taichu was that he was not bad-looking.

She stood up, revealing her curvaceous figure in full view. She was barefoot, and her flawless jade-like feet gracefully walked towards Huang Taichu.

"Your eyes are so calm, I really can't believe you're an ordinary person."

Seeing that Huang Taichu's gaze never wavered, Shangguan Yunyao boldly made her move.

The silky smooth jade hand pinched Huang Taichu's face directly, clearly to check whether Huang Taichu was wearing a human skin mask.

Once she was sure he wasn't wearing a human skin mask, she went around behind Huang Taichu, placed her hands on his shoulders, and probed him with her inner energy.

She raised an eyebrow, thinking that Huang Taichu was too strong for Elder Nan to detect.

As a result, when she checked with her true qi, she found that Huang Taichu's dantian was completely empty, without any true qi at all.

He really is just an ordinary person.
