In the martial arts world, he threatens Yin Susu from the start.

Despite being thirty-five or thirty-six years old, she is still exceptionally beautiful, truly deserving of the title of the number one wife in Jin Yong's novels—Huang Rong.

Gu Hanyuan felt that if he hadn't seen Dai Qisi and Xiaolongnu's beauty first, he might have lost control of his expression right now.

Although she was no longer as beautiful as she was at her peak, Gu Hanyuan still silently gave Huang Rong a high score of 97.

Seeing that Gu Hanyuan only glanced at her appreciatively before withdrawing his gaze, Huang Rong nodded silently in satisfaction.

Over the years, I've seen too many men lose their composure at the sight of her beauty, especially one who just smiled so brightly, clearly testing me.

Chapter 91: The consequences of being called "Madam" by me aren't so good.

As someone who's been through it all, Huang Rong could tell from Guo Fu's expression that even if it wasn't love, Guo Fu had a very high level of affection for Gu Hanyuan; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she was experiencing her first love.

She had already heard about what happened at the restaurant before she returned.

He was satisfied with Gu Hanyuan's character and martial arts skills, especially the incident where he fought against the Quanzhen Sect, which made him feel that he had finally gotten revenge.

In her youth, Huang Rong was disliked by the Seven Immortals of Quanzhen, who frequently called her a "demoness."

However, Guo Jing respected them greatly, so even if Huang Rong was unhappy, she could only keep it to herself and curse in her heart at most.

Therefore, Huang Rong had a good impression of Gu Hanyuan when she first heard about him.

Needless to say, his exploits in the restaurant were numerous; at a young age, he was already a master, and he saved Guo Fu twice.

Even with a burden like Guo Fu, they were still able to defeat a heretical master like the Whiteboard Demon.

He was gentle and polite, and never blamed Da Wu or Xiao Wu for their several impolite remarks.

If Guo Fu truly falls for Gu Hanyuan, Huang Rong would be happy to see it happen.

The only thing she had to complain about was that Gu Hanyuan was too handsome, so handsome that even she, who was used to seeing all kinds of things, couldn't help but take a second look.

Because of Ouyang Ke and Yang Kang back then, Huang Rong subconsciously felt aversion towards handsome men.

Huang Rong disliked Yang Guo not only because he was Yang Kang's son, but also because he was quite handsome at a young age.

Gu Hanyuan was much more handsome than Yang Guo, and he also possessed a unique and attractive aura.

However, she was infatuated with Guo Jing, who had an ordinary appearance, and her daughter's ideal man also tended to be someone with an ordinary appearance.

Otherwise, knowing that Da Wu and Xiao Wu were useless, why did they let them revolve around Guo Fu?

Fortunately, the simple test just now made me more convinced of Gu Hanyuan's character.

Guo Fu blushed with embarrassment after being told off by Huang Rong, and went forward to act coquettishly.

"Mother, Brother Gu is my savior, and I am very grateful to him."

As Guo Fu spoke, she secretly glanced at Gu Hanyuan and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he still had that gentle smile on his face.

Since she hadn't heard him object, it meant he still had feelings for her.

Huang Rong looked at Guo Fu's little eyes with amusement, sighing that her daughter had really grown up.

"My name is Gu Hanyuan, and I am Madam Guo. I have long admired your name."

Gu Hanyuan's facial expressions remained impeccable, revealing not a trace of imperfection, and his manners were flawless.

But secretly she was thinking: the consequences of being called "Madam" by me are not good.

Huang Rong naturally couldn't see through Gu Hanyuan's thoughts, and simply nodded in satisfaction.

"Young Master Gu, you flatter me. It is you who have become a Grandmaster at such a young age, even surpassing me. That is truly remarkable."

Huang Rong is actually very talented, and she also has the Nine Yin Manual and the inheritance of Peach Blossom Island. Logically speaking, she should have broken through to the Grandmaster level long ago, but she is still stuck at the peak of the Innate Realm.

The main reasons, besides his lack of focus on cultivation, were that he had spent too much time and energy following Guo Jing in guarding Xiangyang.

Guo Jing was inherently dull-witted and couldn't handle either interpersonal relationships or logistical arrangements well.

Unfortunately, Guo Jing was not the garrison commander of Xiangyang City and had no direct jurisdiction.

He only had the authority to advise Lü Wenhuan, the general defending Xiangyang.

In this world, the Song Dynasty court is filled with so many treacherous officials that they could fill several mahjong tables, all busy vying for power and profit.

Without support from the rear, the defense of Xiangyang City became extremely difficult.

It was only thanks to Huang Rong's advice and strategies that Guo Jing was able to gain a foothold in Xiangyang.

Therefore, Huang Rong's cultivation level has not improved at all for ten years.

"It was just a fluke, Madam Guo, you flatter me."

Gu Hanyuan remained as humble as ever.

"I heard that Young Master Gu wants to find the Bodhi Serpent, is that true?"

Huang Rong had also heard of the name of the Bodhi Snake, but it was hard to find and she had never seen it in Xiangyang for many years.

"I forcibly broke through to the Grandmaster level some time ago, which damaged my meridians. I need the gall bladder of the Bodhi snake to treat it."

This was an excuse that Gu Hanyuan had thought of long ago.

Upon hearing that Gu Hanyuan's meridians were damaged, Guo Fu asked with worry and self-reproach:

"Brother Gu, are your meridians damaged? It's all my fault, I made you fight against the Whiteboard Fiend and his gang."

Gu Hanyuan smiled gently and said:

"It's a minor injury, nothing serious. It's just damage to the meridians. How can it compare to Fu-mei's safety?"

Guo Fu was deeply moved after hearing this.

Although Huang Rong felt that Gu Hanyuan's words were somewhat glib, she probably said them to comfort Guo Fu.

I've never heard of damage to meridians being considered a minor injury.

"Damaged meridians should be treated as soon as possible."

Huang Rong offered words of comfort.

Gu Hanyuan readily accepted good advice.

The three then chatted casually.

Huang Rong discovered that Gu Hanyuan had a very broad range of knowledge.

Whether it's astronomy, geography, humanistic wonders, yin and yang, or even current affairs and military matters, they all have their own insights.

Huang Rong often felt enlightened after listening to these stories.

She just felt that Gu Hanyuan and her father Huang Yaoshi must have a lot in common.

Guo Fu listened from the side, and at first she could keep up, but later she became completely confused.

His face was full of admiring, bewildered expression.

The three were chatting enthusiastically when a servant suddenly announced that Lu Youjiao had arrived.

Huang Rong was somewhat reluctant to leave, but she knew that the important matter was still the main one.

He led the two to the front yard where they met Lu Youjiao.

After inquiring with Lu Youjiao about the Bodhi-curved snake, they indeed gained some insights.

After all, the Beggars' Sect has many members, and many of them are skilled at catching snakes. Moreover, Beggars' Sect disciples are often bitten to death by the Bodhi snake, so they are quite clear about the whereabouts of the Bodhi snake.

After obtaining the whereabouts of the Bodhi Snake from Lu Youjiao, Gu Hanyuan bid farewell to the two women.

Anyway, he wasn't in a hurry to get Huang Rong and Guo Fu to come; he just wanted to make a good impression on them during their first meeting.

Guo Fu originally wanted to go with Gu Hanyuan to find the Bodhi Snake, but Huang Rong stopped her.

In the end, fearing she would cause trouble for Gu Hanyuan, Guo Fu was unusually well-behaved, only asking that Gu Hanyuan come to see her when he had time.

Seeing that Guo Fu was staring at Gu Hanyuan's departing figure for a long time without coming back to her senses, Huang Rong sighed.

She was quite satisfied with Gu Hanyuan, and it would be even better if he could become her son-in-law.

Especially after our conversation, we even felt like kindred spirits.

If Gu Hanyuan and Guo Fu were to get married, she could often discuss various things she had seen and heard with him.

After a while, Huang Rong suddenly realized what she was thinking.

With a muttered curse, the mother-in-law and son-in-law discussed what they had seen and heard, wondering if something was amiss.

In short, Gu Hanyuan did leave a deep impression on Guo Fu and Huang Rong upon their first meeting.

Meanwhile, following Lu Youjiao's instructions, Gu Hanyuan found traces of the Bodhi Snake in the woods on the outskirts of Xiangyang.

The Bodhi-qu snake has fleshy horns on its head, moves like the wind, and its whole body faintly emits golden light.

Upon seeing this, Gu Hanyuan immediately unleashed his sword energy, killing the snake instantly, and then extracted its gall bladder and placed it in his storage space.

The gallbladder of the Bodhi snake is very effective in increasing internal strength and can also be saved for later use in alchemy.

Chapter 92: Dugu Qiubai Clashes Across Space

After killing no fewer than 20 Bodhi snakes along the way, a sudden gust of wind blew by, and a dark shadow rushed towards him.

It turned out to be that black-haired eagle.
