[GL]Whose Wife Is Always Acting Pitiful? Oh, It Turns Out It’s Mine 66

Chapter 66: Disturbance in Anya Town

Xue Mu traveled on and arrived at a small town connecting the Guanzhong region and the Central Plains. Feeling parched, she ordered a few good dishes and a pot of wine in a small tavern, eating quietly while listening to the guests at other tables chatting.

Hearing discussions like “Discourse on the Dao Conference on the fifteenth of the tenth month,” “Snow Saint Mountain Villa was defeated by the Yu Clan of Jin Mountain last time, this time no one can stop them,” and “Every woman in the Cloud Appreciation Mountain Sect is as beautiful as a fairy,” she couldn’t help but chuckle softly.

If I take Yuan’er to see the female disciples of the Cloud Appreciation Mountain Sect at the Discourse on the Dao Conference, I wonder if she will think those women are prettier than herself, or if she is superior?

That Snow Saint Mountain Villa is in the Tibetan region and has dealings with the Western Regions. The martial arts and secret skills they learn will surely dazzle the people of the Central Plains. At the last Discourse on the Dao Conference, they were able to fight back and forth with the Yu Clan of Jin Mountain. Although they were defeated in the end, they also gained great fame.

Moreover, the Yu Clan of Jin Mountain stole the limelight at that Discourse on the Dao Conference. Maybe my master also saw something at the conference, recognized the enemy, and then went up to Jin Mountain for revenge…

Xue Mu swallowed a mouthful of sake and sighed slightly. Suddenly, a loud shout came from the corner of the tavern: “Who took your precious whatever pill! Get lost, little lunatic!”

Another angry shout rang out, the voice very clear and bright: “You stole my Baby Insect Pill! I saw you reaching out from under my table. You definitely stole my Baby Insect Pill! You whoremonger who plays in brothels without paying, today I’m going to feed Little Xuanxuan into your mouth!”

The man was dressed luxuriously, looking only in his twenties. Hearing this, his face flushed red. He kicked over the long bench and pointed at the young man who was a head shorter than him, cursing loudly, “You damn brat, I think you are the thief, little beggar! With dirty hands and feet eating a free meal in this tavern! I have immense wealth, I can smash you to death with copper coins! Little bastard with no father or mother—”

When he said “no father or mother,” Xue Mu only felt a blur before her eyes. Immediately after, the man’s body curled into a shrimp shape, flying out and crashing onto the counter at the tavern entrance. The abacus, account book, and silver and copper coins on the table scattered all over the floor, clinking and clanking pleasantly. Looking at the rich young master trapped in the broken table and counter, and the shopkeeper cowering and circling out from behind the counter, Xue Mu immediately thought: This young man knows martial arts.

She looked back again. The young man was fair and clean, with a slender figure. His brow bone was deeper and more prominent than ordinary people, and the bridge of his nose was also very high, the nose bone protruding more obviously than usual. Although his eyes were pitch-black, their shape leaned more towards people from foreign lands. His eyes were lively, black, and bright, extremely beautiful. He was draped in some tattered cloth strips, but at a glance, they were very clean, presumably washed often.

Xue Mu looked at him twice, feeling that the contour of his jaw somewhat resembled Yuan’er’s. Then she laughed dumbly, thinking she was too silly. Seeing a young man reminded her of Yuan’er; she really couldn’t bear the pain of lovesickness.

The young man looked at the luxurious man crawling up in a sorry state, walked over swaggering, pulled out a pitch-black round pill from his clothes, kicked the man, and said loudly, “You damn whoremonger, still saying you didn’t steal my Baby Insect Pill! Everyone come and take a look. This person is so rich, yet he doesn’t pay when hooking up with girls in brothels. Seeing me, a little beggar, he even wants to steal the treasure on me!”

Then he said to the shopkeeper who had a bitter smile on his face, “Shopkeeper, this thief will pay for my meal today. Not paying the girls, and not paying for your wine and food here. Just paste a big poster on the tavern door, writing ‘Top Whoremonger of Qiaqing Town, Young Master Men of Anya Town is here.’ I guarantee your business will get better and better!”

The shopkeeper dared not say anything. The guests in the tavern also watched this scene as if watching a play. Observing their expressions, Xue Mu thought: This man went to a brothel in Qiaqing Town to find girls without paying, and was followed by this young man. He only started to teach him a lesson here. Presumably, the so-called Baby Insect Pill was put into the man’s clothes by this young man, so he could find an excuse to teach him a lesson openly. Hey, interesting!

The young man strode out the door directly and left dashingly.

The shopkeeper and the waiter pulled up Young Master Men and whispered, “Young Master Men, you’ve met a tough stubble (tough opponent) this time!”

There was a huge wound on Young Master Men’s face, presumably from hitting a sharp part of the broken counter, bleeding beads of blood. While wiping it wretchedly, he trembled with anger, kicked the waiter, and shouted angrily, “Useless things, why aren’t you chasing him quickly? If I catch that little bitch, I will definitely—”

Before he finished speaking, a chicken leg flew in from outside, directly breaking his front teeth and stuffing into his throat!

Young Master Men’s eyes rolled up, and he fainted abruptly, falling on the ground on his back.

Xue Mu drank the remaining wine in one gulp. She didn’t finish the food and didn’t eat anymore. Leaving silver behind, she left the tavern. She didn’t want to get involved in the disturbance in Anya Town even a little bit. Mounting her red horse, she continued to gallop towards the west.

After running for more than thirty miles, on a small path in the fields at the edge of the Guanzhong region, Xue Mu suddenly remembered she hadn’t replenished some dry food. She couldn’t help sighing. In this case, she could only replenish some food at the next town.

However, fortunately, she would be able to reach the foot of Blue Wind Mountain after running for another day. Xue Xue failed to invite Sect Leader Qi Qing down the mountain back then. This time, as Xue Duanhun’s disciple, she insisted on finding out the truth. Understanding her master’s past would be equivalent to finding a clue to the cause of the Yu Clan of Jin Mountain tragedy. To find this clue, she must see Sect Leader Qi Qing and get some words out of her mouth.

Thinking this, Xue Mu suddenly glimpsed a black shadow on the small path ahead, flying towards her!

She was carrying Xue Duanhun’s long sword on her back. Just as she was considering whether to draw it to meet the enemy, she discovered that the black shadow getting closer to her was actually a person on a horse. It was none other than the young man she had seen in Anya Town who had made Young Master Men suffer miserably!

Could it be that after teasing Young Master Men, this young man is coming to tease me? Although I have some travel expenses on me, I didn’t bring much. His martial arts are unfathomable. If he throws that so-called Baby Insect Pill into my clothes, would I be able to detect it? Without time to think too much, Xue Mu hurriedly pulled the reins and let out a long whistle. The red horse stopped cleverly, snorting.

The young man had already approached Xue Mu. Seeming to hold something in his hand, he suddenly waved it at Xue Mu’s face. “Good Sister, you forgot your thing!”

Xue Mu wanted to dodge, but seeing that the thing flying towards her face was a small piece of silver, she circulated internal force in her palm and caught the silver piece firmly. She heard the young man laugh, “Good Sister, are you heading towards the Guanzhong region?”
