Chapitre 17: Mr. Wen
Éditeur: Dragon Boat Translation
"Crying?"
"Hmm... After our mermaid tears fall to the ground, they will turn into pearls. Our mermaid pearls should be considered a special product of trade. We will collect the tears of the crying babies in the past years for the next year's trade."
Jiao Nanwu explained to Su Yan.
The merfolk was born to be good at weaving and had the strange ability to turn tears into pearls. Moreover, Xia Yu considered merfolk tears a relatively high-grade skincare product. After the pearls were ground into powder, they had a powerful skincare effect.
After applying it, the face would be fair and flawless. Usually, the madams and young ladies would prepare some and apply it a little before attending important occasions to make themselves more beautiful.
For example, the pearl that Jiao Nanwu had given Su Yan was the size of a fist. It could be used for a whole year if ground into powder and used for skin care. It would be sold for ten dans of spirit stones at Xia Yu's auction.
Jiao Nanwu also thought a lot when she chose the love token to make Su Yan agree to mate with her.
...
After sitting for a while, Jiao Nanwu jumped into the river and swam back home, telling her clansmen not to waste their energy there. There were no strong male beasts here, only a baby fox.
"Zhou You! You deserve to die! You deserve to die!"
Not long after Jiao Nanwu left, Su Yan, sitting with his aunt on the high ground of the building, was waiting to close the shop. However, a group of young men barged in at the door and started shouting as soon as they entered, attracting Su Yan's attention.
"Hmm? Mother, why are you here?"
However, the young man's arrogance was short-lived as he noticed a woman nearby who looked strikingly familiar. She was engrossed in drawing tiles. Realizing who she was, he immediately humbled himself, bowing his head to show respect like a dutiful son.
"Where's your father?"
The woman did not care too much about her son. After glancing at him from the corner of her eyes, she played the tile in her hand and focused on the mahjong.
"Don't let me know that he's currently in some brothel or Ten Thousand Flower Pavilion. Otherwise, I'll immediately tear your mouth apart."
"No, after my father had lunch, he went for a walk on the streets. He never went to the brothel or the Ten Thousand Flower Pavilion behind you."
The young man was sweating profusely, and the other people with him did not make a sound.
Mrs. Wen's maiden family was from the Beast Suppression Department, and the Beast Suppression Department was in charge of the inspection function.
Mrs. Wen, who came from such a family background, asked her son to interrogate criminals. Her imposing manner frightened her son so much that his legs went weak.
"Hmm..."
After Mrs. Wen nodded gently, Wen Juntong ran to the back. He caught Zhou You, who was about to slip away from the back door.
However, because his mother was still around, Wen Juntong did not dare to make a ruckus in the main hall. He grabbed Zhou You and brought him to the backyard where Su Yan usually cultivated.
"Auntie, aren't you going to take a look?"
Su Yan witnessed everything from upstairs and asked his aunt.
He was not worried that Zhou You would be beaten up. He was just worried that he would have to clean up the mess on the ground. Su Yan had to charge extra for the cleaning service!
"There shouldn't be any problems. From the looks of it, they should know each other. Besides, how could a Qi Refining cultivator teach a Foundation cultivator a lesson?" Aunt waved her hand and did not pay too much attention to the children's fights.
"Then I'll go and take a look."
Su Yan ran to the second floor and opened Xiao Bai's bedroom door. He leaned on the windowsill and watched what was happening in the backyard.
Su Yan loved joining in the fun!
"Zhou You, I need to know the truth. You deceived me for three years, taking away my red pocket money and claiming that you protected me. What exactly were you protecting me from?"
Wen Juntong had a fierce look as he held a pet that looked like a small wild pig in his hand.
After speaking, he raised the creature that looked like a young wild pig in his hand in front of Zhou You.
"Can't you dodge?"
"Idiot!"
The little wild pig opened its mouth and spoke in human language. Its mouth was extremely smelly, and it cursed Zhou You three times in a second.
"Hey, hey, hey… Why are you cursing me? Take your pig away from me."
Zhou You seemed to recognize the creature. He tilted his body and dodged, but he did not dare to face the small wild pig.
Although it looked like a small wild pig, its real name was Shan Huan. It was a beast that lived in the mountains and forests without physical harm.
It had an extremely strong sense of territory. Once a creature barged into its territory, Shan Huan would directly scold it regardless of its cultivation.
Shan Huan's biggest characteristic was talking nonsense, but he was also considered a popular pet beast because of it.
"D*mn, liar!"
Wen Juntong was angry. He did not have any intention of talking to Zhou You. He raised Shan Huan the entire time, as if he was holding a gatling gun that was filled with vulgarities, and fired at Zhou You.
"D*mn it, why!"
"Mr. Wen, shame on you. Isn't it normal for businesses to make losses and profits? You've used up three years of your lucky money, but you're making it sound like I didn't lose anything. As for what cover…How would I know? Who would get his head beat up when he visited a brothel?"
"My dad! Do you have the courage to see my father?"
Wen Juntong's face was filled with hatred, "We agreed on it, but you went back on your word at the last minute. You've caused my father to suffer!"
The grudge between Zhou You and Wen Juntong started two years ago when they had just turned sixteen.
Unlike Zhou You who liked to travel around the mountains and rivers, Wen Juntong had always wanted to go to the Ten Thousand Flower Pavilion.
Once he reached adulthood, Wen Juntong asked his father to give him some spirit stones. He wanted to spend the night in the Ten Thousand Flower Pavilion.
Father Wen waved his hands in shock and solemnly informed Wen Juntong that the Ten Thousand Flower Pavilion had a demonic background.
Although it looked like a brothel, it secretly carried out intelligence and assassination transactions. If his mother knew about it, she would peel them and hang them on bamboo poles.
No, no, he could not go!
However, Wen Juntong was also a stubborn person. He wanted to find an Aurous Core Level girl to drink with him.
After a while, Father Wen also had a second thought. The father and son planned an autumn outing, preparing to go to the Ten Thousand Flower Pavilion to taste the skin's smoothness of the first-grade immortal cultivators.
And Zhou You was part of the plan. He lent a sum of money to his best friend so that he could fulfil his dream.
In the end, that bastard ran away at the last minute, and he was supposed to tip Wen Juntong off when his mother came.
The father and son of the Wen family were caught, and the other people who came with them were also embarrassed.
Madam Wen led her troops into the Ten Thousand Flower Pavilion and beat up the father and son of the Wen family.
Wen's father found life as dull as a monk's two years ago.
Servants had replaced the servant girls in the house, and there was not even a female in the huge Wen residence.
When Wen's father went out shopping if he glanced at a woman, the servants would inform his wife, and he would be beaten when he returned home.
"Tell me, is my father's life miserable enough?" Wen Juntong scolded Zhou You for being despicable, "If you had said that you didn't have time that day, we wouldn't have ended up like this. If my father had committed suicide, it would have been on you!"
"How can you blame me? You went to the brothel openly. I've never seen guys so bold! You didn't even disguise yourself and directly entered through the main entrance!"
Zhou You retorted Wen Juntong unwillingly.
