Hong Kong Island: Chaos reigns, I suppress it all with a single hand.

Yuxu Temple.

Dao Baifeng smiled and asked, "Yu'er, what do you think of that Miss Gao?"

The girl's name is Gao Mei.

She was the granddaughter of Gao Shengtai, the Marquis of Shanshan of the Dali Kingdom, and became Empress Gao in history, though her reputation was not good.

Gao Shengtai was a powerful minister in history and even served as emperor, changing the country's name to "Great China".

After his death, he allowed his son to return the throne to the Duan family.

In this world, this isn't a serialized version, so this woman doesn't exist.

But because someone barged in, Gao Mei suddenly appeared.

Duan Yu sighed and honestly said, "I don't really like it."

So who do you like?

Mu Wanqing, Zhong Ling, or is she the daughter of that vile woman Li Qingluo?

Either is fine.

Because they are not related by blood.

But how can this be exposed?

Dao Baifeng advised, "They are your sisters, don't have any designs on them."

Duan Yu said awkwardly, "Mom, please don't misunderstand, I didn't mean that!"

"That's good!"

Dao Baifeng breathed a sigh of relief and then gently advised:

"It's really not peaceful outside. Even if you don't like it, you should learn some martial arts to protect yourself. Otherwise, I'll be restless and unable to cultivate my Tao as soon as you go out."

Since his mother had said so, Duan Yu couldn't argue and could only nod in agreement.

After chatting for a while longer, Dao Baifeng instructed his men to take Duan Yu to rest.

He also had hot water prepared for him, intending to take a bath.

Steam rises.

Just as Dao Baifeng was enjoying himself, a voice came to his ear:

"Phoenix, send them away, I'll come and keep you company."

Previously, only Duan Zhengchun had called him "Phoenix".

But not now.

So she really had a hard time keeping her composure and quickly scanned her surroundings.

The man laughed again, "This is the secret technique of 'transmitting sound into the mind' taught by Crown Prince Yanqing. No one else but you has ever heard it."

Transmitting sound into secret is not that rare.

In The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, Ren Yingying, the "Holy Maiden," was skilled from the very beginning.

But Duan Yanqing is more skilled in this area and is a master of it!

Even if Duan Zhengchun, or even the more skilled Duan Zhengming, were here, they wouldn't be able to intercept the call.

Dao Baifeng was extremely embarrassed and annoyed.

But he dared not utter a sound at the air, so he pretended not to hear and did not let the maid leave.

Qi Ming, of course, wasn't in a hurry, and even smiled and praised:

"Phoenix is ​​so fair and beautiful, and seems aloof, even though she's a cultivator. But in reality, she's quite the opposite—her heart is incredibly passionate! No wonder Crown Prince Yanqing is so infatuated with you, treating you like a Bodhisattva, and is still grateful to this day! I'm so jealous of Prince Duan; he eats so well!"

Dao Baifeng's face turned red, and her body trembled slightly. Finally, she couldn't help but wave her hand, signaling the maid to leave.

Don't misunderstand!

She's trying to teach the younger generation a lesson!

The door was closed.

The maids disappeared.

Qi Ming appeared.

He first threw his clothes, shoes, and socks under the bed, then jumped into the bucket.

Dao Baifeng was very enthusiastic and gave him a stern lesson.

Much later.

Qi Ming lay down on the couch.

Dao Baifeng sat to the side, massaging him while feigning disdain, and said:

"What are you doing here again? We already agreed that you would only fool around this once, and you are not allowed to bother me anymore."

Qi Ming snorted: "You were Duan Yanqing's wife, and you've been with him for many years; you gave birth to his child and treated him very well! Why are you so stingy with me?"

Dao Baifeng could barely contain herself and said, "You...you...do you also want me to give birth? No! Absolutely not!"

Qi Ming angrily retorted, "Why can't I?"

Dao Baifeng slapped him, then couldn't help but scold him playfully, "This is all your fault!"

"Blame me? What do you mean?"

"Tell me honestly first, what was your purpose in revealing Yu'er's identity to Duan Yanqing?"

"He doesn't know the inside story. I'm worried that if he targets Lao Duan, it might affect you. What's the problem with that?"

"..."

Dao Baifeng hesitated for a moment, then leaned close to Qi Ming's ear and told him the truth, concluding:

"If I have another child with you, I won't be able to explain it."

Qi Ming was quite surprised: "He did this on purpose, didn't he? He's thinking about you and doesn't want Lao Duan to sleep with you again, so he did this?"

Dao Baifeng nodded, two lines of clear tears streaming down her face.

Qi Ming immediately comforted her.

Two days later.

After offering his condolences, Qi Mingcai took his leave.

Then we went into the mountains to catch that toad.

The Manggu Toad and the Ice Silkworm were not born from the sky; they belong to certain groups.

The one that Qi Ming caught was probably male, which is why it made a sound to attract the female.

Qi Ming searched for more than a day and finally found a couple "hugging" by the water, that is, you know.

Qi Ming waited for two days and then took them and the eggs away.

Don't worry about them not adapting to the environment.

Ice silkworms live atop the Kunlun Mountains, amidst icy winds and snow.

Later, he was taken to the Southern Liao Kingdom, where he lived a good life.

You can absolutely say that.

They are "martial arts animals," in contrast to those so-called "magical animals."

Take the ice silkworm for example!

It doesn't like eating mulberry leaves.

There's nothing like that for it to eat in the Kunlun Mountains.

It loves to eat meat, runs very fast, and has a certain level of intelligence.

It doesn't like to spin cocoons, nor does it emerge as a moth. Although it's called a silkworm, it's actually...

Refrigerant + compressor.

If everyone had one, those who sell air conditioners, refrigerators, and other refrigeration equipment could go up to the rooftop.

There's no need to transport ice blocks for the ice cellar that Li Qinglu is thinking about.

Really!

That's how awesome it is!

Therefore, Qi Ming wanted it more than the Manggu Toad.

After all, Qi Ming also talks about environmental protection.

When I return to Hong Kong, I'll keep a few of them in my mansion, so I won't need to turn on the air conditioning even in the summer.

As for the thief breaking into the house to steal things, getting bitten by it, or even being dissolved into juice and eaten by it, that has nothing to do with Qi Ming.

To borrow a phrase from some groups, my child doesn't bite!

After leaving Dali.

Qi Ming first returned to Tokyo, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, to deal with the Beggars' Sect.

Fanlou.

The madam said with a forced smile, "My lord, this is Miss Zhou."

He then introduced Zhou Xiaoniang, saying, "This is Chief Qi. You must serve him well."

Zhou Xiaoniang blushed slightly, gave Qi Ming a curtsy, and introduced herself:

"This humble woman, Zhou Nan, greets the gang leader."

Qi Ming was quite frank: "What a beautiful young lady! I'd like to take you home. How many strings of cash would it cost?"

The madam said with a forced smile, "It's an honor for Fanlou to have the boss come and sit down. How could we dare ask for a ransom?"

"You still have to pay!"

Qi Ming said in a serious tone, "But I don't have any money on me, and it's not convenient to use the official account. How about we leave it like this? I have an extra lone Manggu Toad here, the king of all poisons. Find someone who practices poison arts, and I'll sell it for five thousand or ten thousand, which would be a bargain!"

As he spoke, he took out the single one from his pocket and placed it on the table.

"Jiang Ang! Jiang Ang!"

The Manggu Toad croaked twice and spewed out a cloud of red mist.

Qi Ming inhaled through his nose and swallowed the red mist into his mouth.

Then his face turned red, and steam rose from his head.

Then his expression returned to normal, and he let out a long breath, saying:

"After refining the poison gas, it can greatly increase one's power. The starting price is five thousand strings of cash, with each bid increasing by at least five hundred. The highest bidder wins!"

An auction is essentially a "buying and selling" activity.

This is not uncommon these days.

There are indeed quite a few skilled individuals who frequent Tokyo.

Thus, this top-notch dance hall was transformed into an auction house.

Many female celebrities who used to command a huge following have discovered that these swans are no match for toads!
