Chapter 46

The Wu Dao Conference in the capital city was only two days away, but the talented Ye Tianhua from the Ye Family still had no news. This made the entire Ye Family anxious, as Ye Tianhua was a rare good seed in their family. Although he was a bit arrogant, the Ye Family felt it was justified. However, now his life and death were unknown, and there was no news at all.

Shen Xiang returned from the Black Wind Gang's residence. He did not see his father in the Dan King Pavilion.

"Uncle Ancestor, where is my father?" Shen Xiang asked Shen Luzong urgently.

"His injuries have improved a lot, so don't worry. He has returned to the Shen Family to gather the various branches to resist Shen Furong!" Shen Luzong chuckled. "Your father is not someone who will let things go easily. Shen Furong has violated the clan rules of the Shen Family, not only injuring the clan leader but also trying to interfere with the Shen Family's affairs, and even helping the Shen Family's enemies. For these reasons, Shen Furong must be expelled from the Shen Family."

Shen Furong, for his own selfish reasons, had been actively helping the Ye Family to oppose the Shen Family, which indeed made the entire Shen Family angry. Now, Shen Tianhu had already regarded Shen Furong as the top enemy of the Shen Family. Only by removing this obstacle could the Shen Family become strong.

Shen Xiang's expression was somewhat serious. "Uncle Ancestor, Shen Furong is a disciple of those Wu Dao sects. If we do this, we might make enemies with those Wu Dao sects."

Shen Luzong shook his head. "Don't worry. Wu Dao sects have their own rules. If their disciples cause trouble here and get killed, it's not our fault. Hmph, disciples of prestigious sects actually lowering themselves to meddle in these matters, they deserve to be destroyed."

If those Wu Dao sects had no rules to restrain them, any Wu Dao expert could come to this secular world and dominate, which would be chaos.

Shen Xiang was now much more at ease. If that was the case, he would have no other concerns.

"Uncle Ancestor, the Dan King Pavilion will open tomorrow. Have Old Meng prepare well and announce it throughout the Southern Wu Kingdom," Shen Xiang said loudly, his voice tinged with excitement.

The Dan King Pavilion had already stockpiled a large number of medicinal pills, and they would limit daily sales to prevent stockouts. The Dan King Pavilion also had many alchemists, and with Dan King Meng Bo in charge, Shen Xiang was very confident.

Shen Luzong was also very excited, his old face full of joy. He had long harbored the ambition to enter the capital city, but due to a lack of manpower, he could only stay in Wohu City.

To open a medicinal shop in the capital city required a solid foundation!

The news spread quickly. The Dan King Pavilion had already been highly anticipated, as everyone knew it was a Shen Family business. Since the Shen Family and the Ye Family were enemies, to capture the market, they would certainly engage in a price war, allowing people to buy medicinal pills at lower prices, which was a blessing for those not-so-affluent martial artists.

The Ye Family had dominated for many years, and the Fragrant Medicine Hall only sold spiritual medicines. People had no choice but to buy the high-priced medicinal pills from the Ye Family. But now, they didn't need to, which would save them a lot of money.

In the evening, after taking a bath, Shen Xiang changed into a set of white, luxurious clothes and headed for the Fragrant Medicine Hall. Thinking of the alluring hall master of the Fragrant Medicine Hall, Shen Xiang's heart couldn't help but flutter.

After being announced, Shen Xiang entered the fragrant small hall where Huayue Yun was already waiting. When Shen Xiang saw the alluring beauty, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Huayue Yun was wearing a purple sheer dress, and there was nothing underneath. Through the purple sheer fabric, her beautiful body could be clearly seen: her round breasts, slender waist, and long legs. Every move she made captivated men's hearts, making them unable to resist... Shen Xiang found it hard to breathe, his face flushed, and his heart raced.

"Master Shen, am I beautiful?" Huayue Yun asked with a seductive smile, her delicate feet lightly stepping on the soft carpet as she walked toward Shen Xiang.

Shen Xiang swallowed hard, then sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it all in one go to dispel the heat in his body. He did not look at the alluring Huayue Yun again.

"Master Shen's self-control is truly admirable. If possible, I would be willing to serve Master Shen for life, to be your maid," Huayue Yun said softly, her face sincere, as if she were not lying. She then put on a snow-white long dress to cover her enchanting body, realizing that she was only humiliating herself in front of Shen Xiang.

For a woman to stand almost naked in front of a man, and for that man to only be slightly moved and then stop looking, was a huge blow to Huayue Yun.

"Big Sister Huayue, please let me off. Don't joke with me! You are beautiful and strong, why do this?" Shen Xiang said with a bitter smile. These days, the Fragrant Medicine Hall had been selling spiritual medicines at a low price to the Dan King Pavilion, so he came to express his gratitude. He didn't know that the hall master of the Fragrant Medicine Hall had such a special fetish, actually liking to seduce pure young men like him.

Huayue Yun pouted slightly and huffed, "Master Shen, I really want to be your maid. I have been captivated by your charm and can't resist it..."

Nonsense charm, Shen Xiang didn't believe in such things. He knew Huayue Yun's purpose was to see his alchemy talent and lure him to the Fragrant Peach Garden, a sect focused on alchemy.

Shen Xiang laughed dryly, "Hall Master Huayue, I already have Xianxian as my fiancée. You are too beautiful to be a maid; that little girl would be jealous."

"I know you look down on me," Huayue Yun said with a self-deprecating smile. "What brings you here?"

Shen Xiang took out a small piece of Hell Lingzhi and handed it to Huayue Yun, saying seriously, "Huayue, this is my way of thanking you for the discounts you gave to the Dan King Pavilion. I hope we can continue to cooperate. It would be best if you sold the spiritual medicines at a higher price to the Ye Family."

Huayue Yun took the thumb-sized Hell Lingzhi without hesitation. Although it was only a small piece, it was very precious. She giggled, "Master Shen is truly generous. I will do as you say. If this Fragrant Medicine Hall really belonged to me, I would give you all the spiritual medicines for free."

Shen Xiang was surprised, looking at her beautiful, seductive face, considering whether to take Huayue Yun as a maid. However, he was still worried about her other motives.

"The Dan King Pavilion will open tomorrow, and everything will be handled by my Uncle Ancestor. I need to prepare for the Wu Dao Conference in the capital city. If it's convenient, please come and advertise for the Dan King Pavilion," Shen Xiang said with a smile.

"No problem, Huayue will definitely do it," Huayue Yun said, now acting like a maid, which made Shen Xiang uncomfortable. After chatting with her for a while, he hurriedly left.

Watching Shen Xiang flee, Huayue Yun's beautiful eyes sparkled, and she pouted, "What a difficult young man. Even my last trump card didn't work on him. The more he resists, the more I want to get him."

Shen Xiang, as usual, went to practice outside the city. His goal was to make the Shen Family enter the capital city and become a powerful martial arts family. Only then could he go to the prestigious sects with peace of mind. As for the Dan King Pavilion, he didn't need to worry too much now, as there was Dan King Meng Bo and Shen Luzong in charge, and Huayue Yun was secretly supporting them. He only needed to focus on improving his strength.
