Chapter 164: The Female Spirit in Peril

The anguished cry of the rogue lasted only a moment when the mute girl began to lose control again, her emotions bursting forth. She waved her hands frantically, but her disfigured face couldn’t convey a thing, leaving the man utterly confused.

Qiao San, in a good mood, decided to sit on a stone and play guessing games. He tried more than ten times but failed each time. The stubborn rogue king couldn’t bear to lose and imitated the mute girl’s gestures. Suddenly, a spark of inspiration struck him, and he exclaimed in astonishment, “You mean… writing? No way! Can you actually write?!”

The mute girl had no time to be angry at the rogue’s prejudice. It was rare that they finally “communicated,” and she was so overjoyed she nearly nodded her head off.

“Heh, heh… writing! Why didn’t you say so earlier? That’s easy.”

Qiao San brought the extremely ugly girl back to Liumang Town, and the rogue’s holy ground immediately erupted into chaos.

“Wow, the boss has gone mad—he brought an ugly woman home!”

“Pfft! You don’t get it. This is just the boss’s special hobby. There are too many beauties around; he wants to taste what an ugly girl is like. Ha, ha…”

The rogue leader’s glorious life thus suffered a stain. For once, he couldn’t even retort and returned to the Qiao mansion with the mute girl, looking utterly defeated.

“Master Qiao, are you sick?” Shi’er reacted even more dramatically than the rogues, anxiously checking every part of the man’s body.

“Giggle, giggle… Husband, what mischief are you up to now?” Gui Ji didn’t believe for a second that her man had suddenly changed his nature. Her ethereal form flickered, and she floated beside Qiao San, pressing him for the truth.

“Sigh… I just wanted to be good for once. Is that so hard to believe?” Qiao San said the real reason, though even he himself didn’t believe it.

Among the three women, Qing Niang was the most graceful and virtuous. After a brief moment of shock, the dignified young wife was able to look calmly at the mute girl’s crooked face beyond her veil. “Third Young Master, please have this young lady sit down. I’ll go brew her a cup of tea!”

“Dear sister, no need. Bring her paper and brush first. She seems to have something urgent!”

To prove his innocence, Qiao San couldn’t resist adding, “I don’t have any ulterior motives. Do I look like the kind of guy with ill intentions?”

The three women’s laughter was naturally filled with disbelief, and their joy filled the quiet Qiao mansion, infecting the mute girl’s heavy shadow. She even cracked a smile—pity she couldn’t make a sound.

Qing Niang personally fetched the paper and brush, and the group gathered around the mute girl to see what she would write.

“Ahh!” The mute girl wrote the first sentence, and Qiao San couldn’t help but shout out loud, instantly shattering the peace of Liumang Town.

—Female Demon in danger! Rescue urgently!

The brush tip glided across the rice paper, leaving behind neat, elegant handwriting that no one expected, while the rogue king’s anger rose steadily.

The lament of the rogue’s soul was but a fleeting moment, as the mute girl once again lost control, her emotions vividly displayed on her face, her hands gesturing wildly. Unfortunately, her distorted features failed to convey any meaning, only further confusing the man.

In a good mood, Qiao San sat on a rock and began playing a guessing game. After failing to guess correctly more than ten times, the rogue king’s competitive spirit surged. He mimicked the mute girl’s gestures, concentrated for a moment, and then exclaimed with a flash of insight, “You want… to write? No way, you can write?!”

Too anxious to be angered by the rogue’s discrimination, the mute girl was overjoyed that they had finally “communicated,” nodding her head so vigorously it nearly snapped.

“Heh, heh… writing, huh? Why didn’t you say so earlier? That’s easy.”

Qiao San brought the extremely ugly girl back to Liubang Town, instantly stirring up the rogue’s sanctuary.

“Wow, the boss has gone mad, bringing home an ugly woman!”

“Cut it out! You guys don’t understand. The boss has a special taste. He’s had too many beauties and wants to try what an ugly woman is like, ha, ha…”

The rogue king’s glorious life was thus tarnished. For once, he dared not retort, leading the mute girl back to the Qiao family mansion in disgrace.

“Third Young Master, are you sick?” Twelve’s reaction was even more exaggerated than the rogues’, as she worriedly checked the man over.

“Giggle, giggle… husband, what mischief are you up to now?” Ghost Ji didn’t believe her man had suddenly changed his nature. Her spirit, as real as ever, floated to Qiao San’s side, relentlessly questioning his true intentions.

“Sigh… I just want to be a good person for once, is that so wrong?” Even as he spoke the truth, Qiao San himself didn’t believe it.

Among the three women, Qing Niang was the most virtuous. After a moment of shock, the dignified lady could face the mute girl’s mismatched eyes behind the veil. “Third Brother, please have this young lady sit down. I’ll make her a cup of tea!”

“Sister-in-law, no need. Find her some paper and a brush first. I think she has something urgent!”

To prove his innocence, Qiao San couldn’t help but add, “I don’t have any ill intentions. Do I look like someone with ulterior motives?”

The women’s laughter was naturally filled with disbelief, but the joyful atmosphere permeated the quiet Qiao residence, even infecting the mute girl’s heavy shadow. She managed a smile, though no sound came out.

Qing Niang personally fetched paper and a brush, and everyone gathered around the mute girl to see what she would write.

“Ah!” The moment the mute girl wrote her first sentence, Qiao San’s exclamation burst forth, and the tranquility of Liubang Town was instantly turned upside down.

—The female demon is in trouble! Rescue her quickly!

The brush moved across the paper, leaving behind lines of unexpectedly delicate characters, and the rogue king’s anger rose steadily.

It turned out this woman was the female demon’s sworn sister. The vengeful Ghost King had preemptively accused her of treason. Before the Yinglong couple could return to the Nine Nether Palace, they were thrown into the dungeon for the crime of deceiving the king and were to be executed on the demon-slaying platform in ten days.

“Damn it!” A roar shook the heavens and the earth. Rogue San didn’t like this ending. His disheveled hair moved without wind, and his playful eyes instantly turned fierce.

Soon, the Fox Queen was summoned to the Qiao residence by Twelve. Working together, they quickly devised a clever plan.

“Twelve, find the decree issued by the Demon King last month. It should be in the study… under the desk! Heh, heh… I need to visit the Nine Nether Palace to see the Demon King.”

Ghost Ji left Qiao San’s embrace, her voluptuous body straightening as she resolutely declared, “Husband, this matter started because of me. I must go.”

Though the seductive ghost was usually as soft as a lamb, her inner strength remained unchanged. Knowing he couldn’t dissuade her, Qiao San nodded in agreement.

Twelve needed to manage the Ghost Forest and couldn’t accompany the Third Young Master, but her heart was already tightly bound to her lover. With a twinkle in her eye, the little fox girl clung to her mother, pleading and coaxing until the Fox Queen sighed in resignation, “Alright, child, I agree, okay?”

Hearing this, Qiao San’s eyes lit up, and his gaze uncontrollably fell on the Fox Queen’s unparalleled beauty. The lustful rogue was indeed ever-changing; moments ago, he was filled with rage, but now his heart itched and his throat dried.

Seeing that everyone seemed to have forgotten her, the mute girl anxiously patted Qiao San’s shoulder and gestured repeatedly.

“Oh, you want to go too? Fine, you can come along!” This time, Qiao San guessed correctly right away, and the small progress made him beam with joy. If not for the lingering worry in his eyes, one might think he had forgotten his troubles entirely.

Only then did Qiao San suddenly remember a question and asked sheepishly, “Mute girl, what’s your name? We can’t keep calling you that.”

The wolf-hair brush glided gently across the paper, and a beautiful name emerged.

Night Girl, a woman who roams at night! Though the name was lovely, Qiao San and the women felt a pang of sympathy, instinctively glancing at Night Girl’s deformed, ugly face and sighing in unison.

Qiao San personally escorted the Fox Queen out of the house, his lustful nature flaring as he gazed at her with burning eyes. “Mother-in-law, I’m counting on your protection this time, heh, heh… Could you tell me a bit about the Nine Nether Palace so I can be prepared?”

“We’ll talk on the way. We leave at dawn tomorrow.”

The Fox Queen—sometimes warm, sometimes cold—abruptly turned and left, her earlier warmth vanishing in an instant, leaving the rogue feeling awkward and uncomfortable.

Only after the Fox Queen was out of sight did Qiao San retract his gaze from her beautiful figure. The colder and more aloof she was, the more openly he displayed his desire, shamelessly fantasizing about his fox spirit mother-in-law’s body, murmuring to himself, “Heh, heh… Progress, at least she said one more sentence this time!”

Sigh… truly a rogue who is easily satisfied!

“Damn it!” A furious roar shook heaven and earth. Qiao San hated this ending. His disheveled hair fluttered without wind, and his previously smiling eyes turned fierce in an instant.

Soon, the Fox Queen was invited to the Qiao mansion by Shi’er. With everyone’s combined efforts, a clever plan was quickly devised.

The lament of the rogue’s soul was but a fleeting moment, as the mute girl once again lost control, her emotions vividly displayed on her face, her hands gesturing wildly. Unfortunately, her distorted features failed to convey any meaning, only further confusing the man.

In a good mood, Qiao San simply sat on a rock and began playing a guessing game. After failing to guess correctly more than ten times in a row, the rogue king’s competitive spirit surged. He mimicked the mute girl’s gestures, pondered for a moment, and then suddenly exclaimed with a flash of insight, “You want… to write? No way, you can write?!”

Too anxious to be angered by the rogue’s discrimination, the mute girl was overjoyed that they had finally “communicated,” nodding her head so vigorously it nearly fell off.

“Heh, heh… writing, huh? Why didn’t you say so earlier? That’s easy.”

Qiao San brought the extremely ugly girl back to Liubang Town, and the rogue’s sanctuary immediately erupted in chaos.

“Wow, the boss has gone mad, bringing home an ugly woman!”

“Third Young Master, are you sick?” Twelve’s reaction was even more exaggerated than the rogues’, as she anxiously checked the man over.

“Sigh… I just want to be a good person for once, is that not allowed?” Even as he spoke the truth, Qiao San himself didn’t believe it.

Among the three women, Qing Niang was the most virtuous. After a moment of shock, the dignified lady could face the mute girl’s mismatched eyes outside her veil. “Third Brother, please invite this young lady to sit down. I’ll make her a cup of tea!”

“Sister-in-law, no need. First, find her some paper and a brush. I think she has something urgent!”

To prove his innocence, Qiao San couldn’t help but add, “I don’t have any ill intentions. Do I look like someone with ulterior motives?”

Qing Niang personally fetched the paper and brush, and everyone gathered around the mute girl to see what she would write.

“Ah!” The first sentence the mute girl wrote elicited a scream from Qiao San, and the tranquility of Liubang Town was instantly turned upside down.

“Female demon in trouble! Rescue quickly!”

The brush moved across the paper, leaving behind lines of unexpectedly elegant characters, and the rogue king’s anger rose steadily.

It turned out that this girl was the adopted sister of the female demon. The resentful ghost king had preemptively accused her of treason, and before the Yinglong couple could return to the Nine Nether Palace, they were thrown into the dungeon for the crime of deceiving the king, to be executed on the demon execution platform in ten days.

“Damn it!” A roar shook the heavens and the earth. Rogue San didn’t like this ending. His disheveled hair moved without wind, and his laughing eyes instantly turned fierce.

Soon, the Fox Queen was invited to the Qiao family mansion by Twelve, and everyone worked together to quickly devise a clever plan.

Though the seductive ghost was usually as soft as a lamb, her inner strength remained unchanged. Knowing he couldn’t dissuade her, Qiao San nodded in agreement after a moment’s thought.

Twelve needed to manage the Ghost Forest and couldn’t accompany the Third Young Master, but the heart of the Mystic Fox was already tightly bound to her lover. With a turn of her eyes, the little fox girl clung to her mother, and after some cooing and pleading, the Fox Queen had no choice but to sigh, “Alright, child, I agree, okay?”

Upon hearing this, Qiao San’s eyes lit up, and his uncontrollable gaze immediately fell on the Fox Queen’s unparalleled beauty. The lustful rogue was indeed ever-changing, having just been filled with rage, now his heart itched and his throat dried.

Seeing that everyone seemed to have forgotten her, the mute girl anxiously patted Qiao San’s shoulder and gestured repeatedly.

“Oh, you want to go too? Fine, you can come along!” This time, Qiao San guessed correctly immediately, and the small progress made him beam with joy. If not for the trace of worry in his eyes, one would think he had forgotten his troubles entirely.

Only then did Qiao San suddenly remember a question and asked sheepishly, “Mute girl, what’s your name? We can’t keep calling you that.”

The wolf-hair brush gently glided across the paper, and a beautiful name leaped onto the page.

“Night Girl, a woman who appears at night!” Though the name was pleasant, Qiao San and the women felt a pang of sympathy, instinctively glancing at Night Girl’s deformed, ugly face, and they all sighed in unison.

Qiao San personally escorted the Fox Queen out of the house, his lustful nature flaring up as he gazed at her with fiery eyes. “Mother-in-law, I’ll be relying on your protection this time, heh, heh… Could you tell me a bit about the Nine Nether Palace, so I can be prepared?”

“We’ll talk on the way. We leave at dawn tomorrow.”

The Fox Queen—now cold, now warm—abruptly turned and left, her earlier enthusiasm vanishing in an instant, leaving the rogue feeling awkward and uncomfortable.

Only after the Fox Queen was out of sight did Qiao San withdraw his gaze from her beautiful figure. The colder and more aloof she was, the more he openly displayed his desire, shamelessly fantasizing about his fox spirit mother-in-law’s body, muttering to himself in self-satisfaction, “Heh, heh… progress, at least she said one more sentence this time!”

Sigh… truly a rogue who is easily satisfied!

Gui Ji left Qiao San’s arms, her graceful, alluring body straightening as she firmly said, “Husband, this matter began because of me. I must go.”

Although the beautiful ghost usually appeared gentle as a lamb, her inner strength was unshakable. Qiao San knew he couldn’t persuade her otherwise, so he nodded in agreement after a moment’s thought.

Shi’er needed to manage the Ghost Forest and couldn’t accompany the young master, but her heart was tightly bound to her lover. Her eyes sparkled, and the little fox girl clung to her mother, begging with sweet words and affection until the Fox Queen finally sighed helplessly, “Alright, alright! I agree. Are you satisfied now?”

Upon hearing this, Qiao San’s eyes lit up. His uncontrollable gaze immediately fell on the Fox Queen’s peerless beautiful buttocks. The lecherous rogue, ever-changing, shifted from fury to lust in an instant, his heart racing and his throat dry.

The mute girl, feeling forgotten, anxiously patted Qiao San’s shoulder and gestured repeatedly.

“Oh, you want to go too? Fine, you can come along!” For once, Qiao San guessed correctly, and this small progress delighted him immensely. If not for the lingering worry in his eyes, anyone would think he had completely forgotten his troubles.

Only then did Qiao San suddenly remember a question, and he asked awkwardly, “Hey, mute girl, what’s your name? I can’t keep calling you that forever.”

The wolf-hair brush gently swept across the paper, and a beautiful name appeared.

Ye Nu—A woman who appears at night! Though the name sounded lovely, Qiao San and the women couldn’t help but feel a pang of sympathy. Instinctively, they glanced at Ye Nu’s grotesque, disfigured face and silently sighed in unison.

The lament of the rogue’s soul lasted only a moment, as the mute girl began to lose control again, her emotions vividly displayed on her face, her hands gesturing wildly. Unfortunately, her distorted features couldn’t convey her meaning, only confusing the man further.

In a good mood, Qiao San sat on a rock and started playing a guessing game. After failing to guess correctly more than ten times, the stubbornness of the rogue king surged. He mimicked the mute girl’s gestures, concentrated for a moment, and then exclaimed in realization, “You want… to write? No way, you can write?!”

Too anxious to be angered by the rogue’s discrimination, the mute girl was overjoyed that they had finally “communicated,” nodding her head so vigorously it almost seemed it might fall off.

“Hey, hey… writing, why didn’t you say so earlier? That’s easy.”

Qiao San brought the extremely ugly girl back to Liubang Town, and the rogue’s sanctuary immediately buzzed with excitement.

“Wow, the boss has gone mad, bringing an ugly woman home!”

“Cut it out! You don’t understand, the boss has a special taste. Too many beauties, he wants to try what an ugly woman tastes like, ha, ha…”

The rogue king’s glorious life was thus tainted, and for once, he dared not retort, leading the mute girl back to the Qiao family mansion in disgrace.

“Third Young Master, are you sick?” Twelve’s reaction was even more exaggerated than the rogues’, as she worriedly checked the man over.

“Hee, hee… husband, what mischief are you up to now?” Ghost Ji didn’t believe her man had changed his nature. Her spirit, indistinguishable from reality, floated to Qiao San’s side, relentlessly questioning his true intentions.

“Sigh… I just want to be a good person for once, is that not allowed?” Even as he spoke the truth, Qiao San himself didn’t believe it.

Among the three women, Qing Niang was the most virtuous. After a moment of shock, the dignified young woman could face the mute girl’s mismatched eyes behind the veil, “Third Brother, please have this young lady sit down. I’ll make her a cup of tea!”

“Sister-in-law, no need, find her paper and pen first. I think she has something urgent!”

To prove his innocence, Qiao San couldn’t help but add, “I don’t have any ill intentions. Do I look like someone with bad intentions?”

The women’s laughter naturally brimmed with disbelief, filling the quiet Qiao mansion with joy, even infecting the mute girl’s heavy shadow. She managed a smile, though no sound came out.

Qing Niang personally fetched paper and pen, and everyone gathered around the mute girl to see what she would write.

“Ah!” The first sentence the mute girl wrote made Qiao San exclaim in shock, turning the leisurely atmosphere of Liubang Town upside down.

—The female demon is in trouble! Rescue quickly!

The brush moved across the paper, leaving behind lines of unexpectedly elegant characters, fueling the rogue king’s rising anger.

It turned out this girl was the adopted sister of the female demon. The vengeful ghost king had preemptively accused the Yinglong couple of treason before they even returned to the Nine Nether Palace, and they were thrown into the dungeon, to be executed on the demon-slaying platform in ten days.

“Damn it!” A roar shook the heavens and the earth. Rogue San didn’t like this ending, his disheveled hair moving without wind, his laughing eyes instantly turning fierce.

Soon, the Fox Queen was invited to the Qiao mansion by Twelve, and together they quickly devised a clever plan.

“Twelve, find the decree issued by the Demon King last month, it should be in the study… under the desk! Heh, heh… I need to visit the Nine Nether Palace to see the Demon King.”

Ghost Ji left Qiao San’s embrace, her voluptuous body straightening as she resolutely said, “Husband, this matter started because of me. I must go.”

Though usually as soft as a lamb, the fierce ghost’s inner strength hadn’t changed. Knowing he couldn’t dissuade her, Qiao San nodded in agreement.

Twelve needed to manage the Ghost Forest and couldn’t accompany the Third Young Master, but her heart was already tightly bound to her lover. With a twinkle in her eye, the little fox girl clung to her mother, and after some sweet pleading, the Fox Queen had to sigh in resignation, “Alright, girl, I agree, okay?”

Hearing this, Qiao San’s eyes lit up, his uncontrollable gaze immediately falling on the Fox Queen’s unparalleled beauty. The lustful rogue was indeed ever-changing, from burning with anger to itching with desire, his throat dry.

Seeing that everyone seemed to have forgotten her, the mute girl anxiously patted Qiao San’s shoulder and gestured repeatedly.

“Oh, you want to go too? Fine, you can come along!” This time, Qiao San guessed correctly right away, and the small progress made him beam with joy. If not for the worry in his eyes, one might think he had forgotten his troubles entirely.

Only then did Qiao San suddenly remember a question, asking sheepishly, “Mute girl, what’s your name? We can’t keep calling you that.”

The brush gently glided across the paper, and a beautiful name emerged.

Night Girl, a woman who appears at night! Though the name was lovely, Qiao San and the women felt a pang of sympathy, instinctively glancing at Night Girl’s deformed, ugly face, all sighing inwardly in unison.

Qiao San personally escorted the Fox Queen out of the house, his lustful rogue nature flaring up as he gazed at her with burning eyes, “Mother-in-law, I’ll be relying on your protection this time, heh, heh… Could you tell me a bit about the Nine Nether Palace, so I can be prepared?”

“We’ll talk on the way. We leave early tomorrow morning.”

The Fox Queen—sometimes warm, sometimes cold—abruptly turned and left, her previous warmth vanishing in an instant, leaving the rogue feeling awkward and uncomfortable.

Only after the Fox Queen was out of sight did Qiao San withdraw his gaze from her beautiful figure. The colder and more aloof she was, the more openly he displayed his desire, shamelessly fantasizing about his fox spirit mother-in-law’s body, murmuring to himself in self-satisfaction, “Heh, heh… progress, this time at least she said one more sentence!”

Sigh… truly an easily satisfied rogue!

“I’ll tell you on the way. We leave at dawn tomorrow.”

The Fox Queen, ever hot and cold, suddenly turned and left. The previous warmth vanished instantly, leaving the rogue feeling awkwardly rejected and extremely uncomfortable.

Only after the Fox Queen disappeared from sight did Qiao San finally tear his eyes away from her beautiful buttocks. The colder and more aloof she became, the more inflamed his desire grew. He shamelessly fantasized about his fox demon mother-in-law with unrestrained thoughts, even murmuring to himself, “Hehe… Progress! At least this time she said more than one sentence!”

Sigh… truly a rogue easily satisfied!
