Lord Chu’s Wife is Wild

Chapter 440 - Wen Yin



Chapter 440: Wen Yin

Back then, Puppet Masters were known as one of the special techniques. Although they were not on the same level as other forbidden techniques, they were also not listed as forbidden techniques.

Some cultivators had even secretly cultivated this technique in order to refine puppets for themselves.

However, most people used dead people to refine puppets in the past. Hence, although everyone knew that this technique was evil, no one came out to stop it.

It was only later on that someone refined a living person into a puppet for their own selfish desires, attracting the attention of the Immortal World. Only then was the Skill of Puppetry included as a forbidden technique.

They even threatened that whoever dared to cultivate this technique in the future would become an enemy of the Immortal World.

From then on, the Skill of Puppetry gradually faded from the eyes of the cultivators.

“Do you think the person who refined these villagers into puppets was the person who used living humans to create puppets back then?”

Shangguan Dian guessed.

“It’s not impossible.”

Lu Zhou said calmly, “Ever since the Immortal World issued a ban years ago, that person has disappeared. In the subsequent hundreds of years, there have been no living puppets. I didn’t expect them to reappear today.”

Back then, the Immortal World had also sent people to investigate this person, but there had been no leads.

And…

Lu Zhou said calmly, “This person might be the person who framed Chunyu Dong back then.”

Shangguan Dian raised his eyebrows in surprise and smiled faintly.

He knew that Lu Zhou was a soft-hearted person. He indeed believed that Chunyu Dong had not broken the rules of the sect.

“Framed?”

Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow. “Master, what happened?”

Lu Zhou sighed and explained, “Back then, Chunyu Dong was framed for secretly cultivating a forbidden technique. However, his powers were above mine. In the sect, no one was his match except for your grandmaster and the elders. How could such a person secretly cultivate a forbidden technique?”

“Oh!”

Lu Sheng smiled faintly. “So, Master trusts Uncle-Master, right?”

Lu Zhou glanced at her and said lightly, “Believing him is one matter. Not liking him is another.”

When Lu Sheng and Shangguan Dian heard that, they narrowed their eyes and smiled.

“Uncle-Master Lu, it’s the night of the full moon tonight. How should we arrange those villagers?”

Chu Sihan brought the topic back.

“Let them return to their original inns tonight. In the meantime, inform the shopkeepers of the various inns and others to leave the inn before the moon rises. Uncle-Master will set up a boundary around the inns.”

Lu Zhou said to Lu Sheng, “Disciple, hide in the inn with Young Master Han. If any villagers haven’t been refined yet, save them.”

Lu Sheng nodded. “Okay!”

“Ah Zhou, aren’t you going to tell the person next door?” Shangguan Dian asked softly.

Lu Zhou snorted coldly. “Since he hid this matter, it means that he doesn’t want us to know. In that case, why should we inform him?”

When Shangguan Dian heard that, he felt that it made sense.

—————

At the same time, in a small courtyard.

A woman in red knelt on a mat and poured a cup of tea for the man opposite her. She said with a grave expression,

“Brother, will those fools attract the attention of the Immortal World if they bring those puppets into town?”

There were dozens of puppets. In a small town, those humans would probably be slaughtered quickly.

“What are you afraid of?”

Xian Jing laughed coldly. “So what if the people from the Immortal World came? How would they know that we siblings refined those puppets?”

Xian Ya smiled faintly. “Brother is right. Anyway, they’re just a group of mortals. So what if they die?”

Xian Jing glanced at her and her smile disappeared.

He said in a low voice, “I discovered two suspicious people today.”

Xian Ya looked at him suspiciously.

He said faintly, “It seems to be the people beside Chunyu Dong.”

Xian Ya’s hand that was holding the teacup paused slightly before she frowned. “Brother, you must have seen wrongly. Didn’t Chunyu Dong return to the Demon Realm long ago? Why would he appear in the mortal world?”

Xian Jing said indifferently, “No matter what, it’s best to be careful.”

Back then, Xian Ya secretly liked Chunyu Dong. Later on, she even expressed her feelings to him many times.

However, Chunyu Dong rejected her repeatedly.

After being rejected for the tenth time, her love turned into hatred. During Chunyu Dong’s seclusion, she secretly hid a few books of forbidden techniques in his room.

Later on, when the immortals were cleaning, those books accidentally fell.

As a result, Chunyu Dong, who had just come out of seclusion for a few days, was expelled from the sect.

“I understand.”

Xian Ya tried her best to calm her thoughts and agreed lightly.

“Let’s stay here and wait for news tonight.”

Xian Jing looked out of the window with a sinister smile. “The scene of dozens of puppets killing people should be very spectacular, right? If I wasn’t afraid that Chunyu Dong would be here, I would have wanted to take a look.”

Xian Ya forced a smile, but her thoughts were a bit hazy.

Ever since Chunyu Dong was kicked out of the sect, she had not seen him for decades.

She initially thought that she had given up on him. However, after so many years, her heart could not help but race when she heard his name again.

Seeing that she did not speak, Xian Jing’s gaze darkened.

“In the entire Immortal World, no one can catch Chunyu Dong’s eye except for Wen Yin.”

At the mention of Wen Yin, a trance flashed across Xian Jing’s eyes.

Wen Yin was Chunyu Dong’s Junior Sister and Lu Zhou’s Senior Sister. Her cultivation level was high, and her looks were rare in the Three Realms. Naturally, she became the beauty in the hearts of many immortals.

However, Wen Yin had a cold and arrogant personality. Other than Chunyu Dong and Lu Zhou, she had never been close to anyone.

Chunyu Dong and Lu Zhou protected her even more and fulfilled all her requests.

Xian Ya bit her lip and was extremely silent.

However, upon closer inspection, her hands were clenched tightly, and her nails had already sunk into her flesh.

Wen Yin. When her plan succeeded, she would definitely destroy her!

Xian Jing said in a deep voice, “Ya Er, you have to remember that only by standing at the highest position can we get what we want. So, you have to keep calm.”

“Yes!”

Xian Ya took a deep breath and her expression returned to normal.

When the siblings refined all the mortals into puppets, they would unite the Immortal World.

At that time, Chunyu Dong would be hers!

Xian Jing scoffed and looked out of the window without saying anything.

—————

In the inn, Chunyu Dong was sitting in front of the coffee table with a frown.

He was wondering if he should inform Lu Zhou about this.

However, just as he was hesitating, someone knocked on the door.

“Come in.”

The person who opened the door was Shangguan Dian.

He walked in with a smile and said to Chunyu Dong, “What are you thinking about, Cousin?”

“Sit.”

Chunyu Dong glanced behind Shangguan Dian. Seeing that no one had entered, he could not help but raise his eyebrows.

“Cousin, what’s the matter?”

“Nothing.”

Shangguan Dian placed the wine bottle in his hand on the table and said with a faint smile, “It’s just that I suddenly remembered that you and I haven’t drunk together before.”

Chunyu Dong smiled faintly and placed the teacup in front of him. Then, he poured himself a cup of tea.

“Although I really want to have a good drink with Cousin, I have something important to do today. I can only substitute tea for wine.”

“Really?”

Shangguan Dian smacked off the red seal and poured himself a cup. He pretended to speak casually. “I wonder if Cousin is of help?”

After Chunyu Dong finished the tea in his cup, he looked at him and smiled faintly. “Perhaps, but I can settle it myself.”

When Shangguan Dian heard that, he pondered and said, “Speaking of which, I have something very important to do tonight as well.”

“Oh?”

Chunyu Dong was suspicious. “I wonder, what’s the matter?”

Shangguan Dian pursed his lips and smiled. “I can’t say.”

Chunyu Dong was stunned before he smiled.

“Then, I wish you success tonight.”

“I wish Cousin success too!”

Shangguan Dian raised his cup and smiled faintly.

As Shangguan Dian did not close the door when he entered, Lu Zhou happened to see the two of them raising their glasses and drinking when he passed by.

He leaned against the door and looked at the duo expressionlessly.

“Oh, Junior Brother is here?”

Chunyu Dong was facing the door, so he happened to see Lu Zhou.

Shangguan Dian turned around. When he saw Lu Zhou, he smiled and waved. “Ah Zhou, come in and have a drink.”

Lu Zhou glanced at him indifferently and did not enter. Instead, he left.

Chunyu Dong was already used to such a scene, but Shangguan Dian was not.

He stood up and smiled apologetically at Chunyu Dong. “Cousin, I still have some matters to attend to, so I won’t stay any longer.”

Chunyu Dong smiled and nodded. “Go ahead.”

When Shangguan Dian returned to the next room, Chu Sihan and Lu Sheng were discussing tonight’s operation. Lu Zhou sat at the side and sipped his tea silently.

Seeing him enter, he only glanced at him lightly and did not speak.

Lu Sheng looked at Lu Zhou, then at Shangguan Dian, and her eyebrow raised.

“Ah Zhou, I went over to try and get Chunyu Dong to talk just now. However, he still didn’t tell the truth.”

After Shangguan Dian sat down, he smiled ingratiatingly at Lu Zhou.

“Tried to get him to talk?”

Lu Zhou smiled faintly. “If he wanted to say something, would you have needed to pry?”

Shangguan Dian nodded. “You’re right. It was unnecessary.”

Lu Zhou snorted and said unhappily, “Where’s the Peach Blossom Wine I gave you?”

Shangguan Dian smiled guiltily. “It’s here… I kept it.”

“Really?”

Lu Zhou put down his teacup. “Then why did I smell Peach Blossom Wine when I passed by Chunyu Dong’s room just now?”

“Ah…”

Shangguan Dian’s eyes darted around before he said awkwardly, “I was just thinking that Chunyu Dong was once from the Immortal World. He doesn’t like ordinary wine, so…”

Lu Sheng pursed her lips and smiled. She looked at Shangguan Dian and said, “Uncle Demon King, don’t be afraid. If you want to drink other good wine, I have them all.”

In her previous life, she had brewed wine with her master. There were also dozens of jars in the Space Bracelet.

However, she did not drink much usually. She only tasted a little when she was free.

Lu Zhou drank most of them.

“Is there a lot?”

Chu Sihan suddenly asked.

“Hmm… About forty to fifty jars. That’s quite a lot.”

“You brewed them?”

Chu Sihan asked again.

“Not entirely!”

Lu Sheng smiled and said, “I like to drink Apricot Wine. Master likes to drink Peach Blossom Wine, so I brewed Apricot Wine while Master brewed Peach Blossom Wine.”

“Yes.”

Chu Sihan nodded. “Save the Apricot Wine for me.”

Lu Sheng chuckled. “Lord, do you like Apricot Wine too?”

Chu Sihan nodded. “Yes.”

He did not want to tell her that it was not a matter of whether he liked it or not. It was a matter of who brewed it.

“Okay!”

Lu Sheng nodded. “I’ll keep the Apricot Wine for the Lord then. As for the Peach Blossom Wine, I’ll give two jars to Uncle Demon King. I’ll keep the rest for Master.”

“Why would you give them to him?”

Lu Zhou looked up at Lu Sheng and said, “You’re not allowed to give even a jar. He doesn’t drink himself.”

Shangguan Dian said weakly, “I… I drank it.”

Lu Sheng chuckled. “Uncle Demon King, you can drink as much as you want. Don’t worry about my master. Let him brew it himself after you’re done.”

“I’m not a brewer.” Lu Zhou snorted coldly. “Don’t think of getting it from me after drinking it. I won’t brew it anymore.”

Lu Sheng narrowed her eyes. She shifted her chair towards Shangguan Dian and asked softly, “Uncle Demon King, did you anger my master?”

Hearing Lu Zhou’s eccentric tone, he seemed to be quite angry.

“I don’t know.”

Shangguan Dian said in a low voice, “I drank a cup of wine with your Uncle-Master and that was it.”

“Oh~”

Lu Sheng nodded in realization and smiled at Lu Zhou. “Master, I didn’t expect you to… Tsk tsk.”

When Lu Zhou saw her expression, he raised his hand and slapped the back of her head.

Although his attack was not heavy, it was not light either.

“Oh!”

Lu Sheng grimaced in pain and glared at him angrily. “Master, why did you hit me?”

“It’s you.” Lu Zhou’s face darkened. “You only know how to let your imagination run wild.”

“I’m not overthinking.”

Lu Sheng pouted. “I haven’t finished speaking. How did you know what I wanted to say?”

“Ha—”

Lu Zhou glanced at her. “How can I not tell what you’re thinking?”

“Hah.”

Lu Sheng snorted coldly and rolled her eyes at him.

Chu Sihan rubbed the back of her head and looked at Lu Zhou unhappily.

“Ah Zhou, aren’t you angry anymore?”

Shangguan Dian asked Lu Zhou with a smile.

“No. Who said I’m not angry?”

Lu Zhou said coldly, “Do you know who gave me the Peach Blossom Wine I gave you?”

Shangguan Dian was stunned. “Didn’t you brew it yourself?”

“Of course not!”

Lu Zhou sighed softly. “Senior Sister gave them to me. There were only two jars. If you hadn’t been craving for them, I wouldn’t have given them to you.”

How could he give the wine brewed by Senior Sister to that ingrate?

“Fairy Wen Yin gave it to you?”

Shangguan Dian suddenly understood.

He finally knew why Lu Zhou was suddenly angry.

When Chunyu Dong, who had just reached the door, heard Lu Zhou’s words, he stopped in his tracks and the faint smile on his face froze.

That wine was actually brewed by his Junior Sister?

When did his Junior Sister learn how to brew wine? Why did he not know?

That made sense. He had left the Immortal World for decades.

To them, a few decades might not be a long time, but it was not a short time either. They could learn anything they wanted.

“Is your Senior Sister… alright?”

He calmed himself down and walked in.

Lu Zhou raised an eyebrow. “Aren’t you going to ask her yourself?”

Chunyu Dong smiled bitterly. “Junior Brother, you clearly know that I can’t enter the boundary outside the Five Peaks.”

His entry token had been retracted. Even with his extraordinary capabilities, he could not enter.
