Chapter 258 Tuning the Qin and Reading Scriptures
"Sister, wife, you're mistaken. This isn't about being a hooligan. We're all highly educated intellectuals; we should be more professional. In today's academic terms, this is called **. Do you know what ** means? Actually, you don't need to be so clear-cut. You just need to know that after **, we can naturally consummate our relationship and enjoy the ** kind of wonderful thing. ^^ Please visit this site." "Pah! What are you showing off with your bookish talk? You're not an intellectual at all; you're a complete hooligan. ** means education and guidance, but you lecherous bastards have all distorted its meaning."
Qin Muyue was indignant.
Shen Lang said, “Sister, you are mistaken again. Chinese is a very lively language with a rich vocabulary and a wide range of meanings. ** can mean “manners”. In Chapter 8 of *Dream of the Red Chamber*, it says, ‘If I hadn’t been blind that day, I wouldn’t know that the rude fellow, just trying to please you, gave you a sip of wine…’ That rude fellow simply means someone who lacks manners, which is perfectly normal. What does that have to do with being a hooligan?
Also, it can mean “training”. In the first act of Lao She’s play *Teahouse*, there’s a line: ‘Country folk, how handsome they are! Bring them to the city, dress them up properly, and they’ll be sure to be both good-looking and well-mannered!’ If we’re talking about elegance, there aren’t many people more elegant than a literary giant like Lao She. If he can be rude, why can’t I?
Of course, as you said, ** also has many vulgar meanings, such as flirting or being sexually harassed.”
"You should know what that means, right? In my opinion, it's a great and sacred undertaking, even more sacred than marriage. Even the great Tang Dynasty writer Liu Yuxi praised it in his writings."
Qin Muyue looked at Shen Lang with a fiery expression: "You...you...you...you're just slandering Dream of the Red Chamber and Lao She like that? And Liu Yuxi, what did he do to you?"
Shen Lang remained unmoved and continued: "Do you know how Liu Yuxi praised it? I bet you don't. In his 'Inscription of a Humble Abode,' Liu Yuxi wrote, 'One can play the simple zither and read the Buddhist scriptures.' At first glance, it seems innocuous, but actually, this is because ancient people were very particular about etiquette and somewhat conservative in their thinking, so their speech was usually quite veiled. Many times, they could only use homophones to express their true meaning, otherwise the censor would impeach them, and the emperor would have to appease them.
In fact, the real meaning of this sentence is 'play the simple zither and read the Buddhist scriptures,' which means..." "Simply put, 'tiao su qing' means **. 'Su' is white, representing purity, so the overall meaning is that ** is very pure and sacred, understand?
As for 'yue jin jing,' 'yue' means reading, 'jin' represents unwavering commitment, and 'jing' is the 'jing' in the saying 'every family has its own troubles,' referring to the 'jing' of life and relationships. In other words, reading this 'jing' will make the relationship between two people stronger than gold. The ancient saying 'love is stronger than gold' is based on this principle. So what does this all mean? When you have free time, you and your wife can 'tiao su qing' at home, read 'jing,' and strengthen your relationship. Then life will flourish, and your days will be sweeter than honey! Tsk tsk tsk, this is the life that everyone envies… Okay, explanation complete!"
Qin Muyue found this increasingly strange. At first, it could be considered somewhat academic, but later it completely changed. What kind of twisted logic and fallacies were these? Not only did he completely distort the meaning of the well-written "Ode to a Humble Abode," but he also ruined a beautiful proverb—so this is where the phrase "love stronger than gold" comes from!
Qin Muyue was utterly speechless. She felt that Shen Lang's behavior wasn't just simple lewdness; it had escalated to an anti-human, anti-social, and anti-historical level!
But strangely enough, Shen Lang's lewd arguments actually stirred a ripple in Qin Muyue's heart. He had somehow managed to elevate **to a pure and sacred matter through his sophistry. From this perspective, he was quite talented, but unfortunately, he hadn't used his talent for good. Actually, before meeting Shen Lang, Qin Muyue was definitely a lady. She had received a pure and proper education from a young age, surrounded by pure and proper people, cultivating a pure and proper mind. Now, suddenly hearing such lewd arguments, while she found it hard to accept, she also felt a strange sense of novelty. Her face flushed, her heart raced, and she thought, "This guy is so annoying! It's like he's trying to overturn my worldview and values!"
No wonder some say that humans are creatures full of dialectical contradictions.
Qin Muyue hesitated for a long time, letting her awkwardness ease a little before spitting out, "Shen Lang, you little rascal, aren't you afraid that Senior Liu Yuxi will jump out of his coffin to fight you?"
After Qin Muyue finished speaking, she looked up and was surprised to find that Shen Lang's face was less than 3 centimeters away from hers, their breaths almost audible, and she could even see her own reflection in his eyes. Qin Muyue's face flushed red, and she was about to turn away when Shen Lang inadvertently kissed her on the lips.
"You—"
Qin Muyue was suddenly startled, like a frightened deer, and dodged backward. Unexpectedly, she had just been forced into a rape by Shen Lang, and her head hit the wall with a dull thud, making her tears fall immediately.
Shen Lang hadn't expected this either. He pulled Qin Muyue into his arms, gently rubbing the spot where she'd bumped into something, and said apologetically, "Sister, it's all my fault. Did you hurt yourself?"
Qin Muyue suddenly felt a lump in her throat. Although she felt a little wronged, she was also touched. Wronged because Shen Lang had caused her to be bumped, but touched because he seemed to dote on her even more than her parents. She was truly amazed by him; how could a grown man be so tender and affectionate? It was almost to the point of being fussy.
Qin Muyue was born into a traditional family. Her father was a professor, and her mother was a doctor—one old-fashioned, the other serious. Both were very busy with work, so Qin Muyue had basically been raised by a nanny since childhood. When had she ever experienced such gentle care?
Shen Lang gently rubbed the back of Qin Muyue's head, adding a little true energy to quickly dispel the pain. He said, "Sister, I'm sorry, it won't hurt in a bit. Oh dear, it hurt me so much! This lousy wall, I'll tear it down sooner or later!"
Qin Muyue's head pain had subsided, and her wariness had lessened considerably. She chuckled, "Why are you cursing it? It's just an inanimate object, it doesn't understand what you're saying! You're wasting your time!"
Shen Lang retorted seriously, "How do you know it doesn't understand? It does understand. I want it to apologize to you. If it doesn't, I really will tear it down!"
Qin Muyue's laughter deepened, and she scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about? A wall is inanimate, just a pile of bricks, cement, and lime. How can it apologize? Don't fantasize. If it could really speak, it would definitely be a spirit." Shen Lang laughed. "Good sister, you don't know this, do you? Everything in the world has feelings and emotions. Just because something isn't alive doesn't mean it has no consciousness or feelings. The walls may seem dead to you, but they are still things with feelings, and they still have reason."
Qin Muyue laughed again, "I don't believe you! You're just spouting nonsense, never saying a single serious word!"
Shen Lang said, "Hmph, you don't even believe your husband? I'm so angry!"
Qin Muyue spat, "Pah! You're not my husband! You've bullied me again, I'll get my revenge sooner or later!"
Shen Lang said, "Hehe, you're thinking about revenge now, but you won't want revenge after we do those things we like!"
Qin Muyue was very embarrassed and said, "Pah! Pah! Pah! Pah! Pah! You... I won't!"
Shen Lang said, "Baby, how about we make a bet?"
Qin Muyue broke out in a cold sweat. Why another bet? Are you addicted to betting? Still a little curious, she asked, "What kind of bet?"
Shen Lang said, "If I can get the wall to apologize to you, you'll agree to do 'that' with me, okay?"
Qin Muyue thought about it for a moment, but barely considered it. How could the wall possibly apologize? It was practically a joke on a cosmic scale! So she readily agreed, "Okay! But what if you can't do it?"
Shen Lang pretended to think for a moment and said, "Well, hehe, I really hadn't thought about it. I was just too confident, haha." Qin Muyue laughed again, teasing, "You're so shameless, you'll dominate the universe!"
Shen Lang readily accepted the compliment, saying, "Thank you for the compliment. I'm far from good enough; I'll continue to work hard! How about this, if I lose, I'm yours. You'll be my master, and I'll be your slave, how about that?"
Qin Muyue was a clever woman and immediately sensed the trap in Shen Lang's words, saying, "You mean you want to be my sex slave?"
Shen Lang laughed heartily, saying, "Wow, my wife Yueyue is so smart! You guessed it right away! You have a limitless future!"
Qin Muyue said angrily, "Go to hell! If you lose, you'll have to run naked in the street, and it'll be during your morning exercise!"
Shen Lang was puzzled, "Why does it have to be during morning exercise?"
Qin Muyue said, "There are more people then, not only young women... " "Young man, and old folks too, the streets are packed with people, that'll be satisfying!"
Shen Lang pretended to think for a moment and said, "That's not impossible, but could I bring some props?"
Qin Muyue asked curiously, "What props?"
Shen Lang said, "A set of clothes." Qin Muyue was completely confused: "What for? Does wearing clothes still count as streaking?"
Shen Lang said, "I can bring clothes but not wear them, right? That way I can answer people's questions. If someone asks me, 'Hey buddy, why aren't you wearing clothes for your morning run?' I'll say, 'To reduce air resistance.' If that person continues to ask me, 'Then why are you carrying clothes around? Aren't you tired of them?' I'll say, 'The work pace is so fast these days, capitalists want you to work from morning till night. I have to go to work after my run, and if I go home to change, I won't have time and I'll be late!'"
Qin Muyue laughed again, "Pah, shameless, how could you even think of that!" ———————————————— Add a few words of nonsense.
Taking so many chapters to tease a woman, you'd definitely think the author is shameless, and I think so too.
But I'm sorry, I don't have any other way to be shameless except to continue.
If there's any style to it, then shamelessness is fine.
This book is for people with similar morbid tastes. If you're tired of thrilling, action-packed novels, this can be a refreshing change.
I write purely out of interest; I definitely like writing the plots I enjoy and don't want to deliberately pander to others. Reading is for enjoyment; readers definitely want to read the parts they like and don't want to create frustration.
It's still quite long. If you can't finish reading, that's okay. Please mutter a curse at me quietly and then leave quietly, without me hearing it. Actually, the hearts of otaku are very fragile... o(∩_∩)o...
Long live everyone's understanding!

Chapter 259 Betting Agreement
"Sister, you're wrong. This isn't shamelessness, it's survival of the fittest. Even if fate forces you to run naked one day, you should find a reason to run happily. The things mentioned above are indeed difficult to happen in China because Chinese people are too conservative and lack a sense of humor. Come on, let me tell you a joke about infidelity. I found it online, and it fully illustrates the humor of foreigners."
"Okay, go ahead!"
Qin Muyue pretended to listen attentively.
"Don't be so serious, okay? Relax, or I'll feel a lot of pressure."
"Then what do you want them to do?" "
Like, lie down?" "
Go to hell, you pervert, you obviously have ulterior motives! Are you going to tell me or not?"
"Uh… okay, I'll tell you! The joke goes like this: A woman was doing *that* with her lover in bed when she suddenly heard someone open the door and come in. Then a man's voice rang out: 'Wife, I'm home!'
The woman was startled and, in a moment of quick thinking, said to her lover: 'Quick! Stand in that corner and don't move!'" "
The woman first rubbed baby oil all over him, then sprinkled a layer of lime powder on him, and said, 'Stand still, just pretend you're a statue.'
When the husband entered the room, he saw the white 'statue' and asked, 'What's that?'
The woman calmly replied, 'A human statue. I saw one in Henry's bedroom and thought it was beautiful, so I bought one.'
The two went to bed and slept soundly through the night.
In the early morning, the husband got up and went out. When he returned to the room, he was carrying a sandwich and milk, which he handed to the 'statue,' saying, 'Here, eat this! Don't be like me, standing in Henry's bedroom for three days without even a sip of water.'
Qin Muyue listened and laughed, saying, 'You're talking nonsense. How could such a thing happen? In the time it takes to rub the oil and sprinkle the lime powder, that woman's husband would have already come in. Besides, how could that man possibly be alright?'
'Sister, do you have a sense of humor? It's just a joke!' " "You were just saying Chinese people have no sense of humor, and now you're walking right into the line of fire. Sigh, I don't even know what to say to you!"
Qin Muyue laughed even harder after hearing this, saying, "You're the one who has no sense of humor ! I said that on purpose
. Don't you think I'm so stupid as to take a joke so seriously?" Shen Lang was a little sweaty and said weakly, "Okay, fine, I guess I don't have a sense of humor. By the way, let's continue our bet. If you lose, you have to be my wife!"
Qin Muyue thought for a moment. A wall is an inanimate object; how could it apologize? She was sure she'd win the bet, so she agreed, "Okay, no problem!"
"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure!"
"Are you really sure?"
"Sure, sure, sure! Hurry up and start!"
"I'm still worried."
"What are you worried about?"
"'Women' are synonymous with someone who won't admit defeat after a bet. I have to be careful." "You say you're not comfortable with me, but how about this, we sign an agreement, in black and white, to prevent you from going back on your word if you lose."
Qin Muyue was immediately stunned: "An agreement? What agreement? A bet requires an agreement?"
Qin Muyue truly felt like she had been struck by lightning, and a huge, full-blown bolt of lightning at that, the echo lingering for three days. But she had to admit, this bastard really had a vivid imagination; he wouldn't stop until he'd shocked someone to death.
"Of course, we're making a serious bet, it concerns our lifelong happiness, so we can't be careless." "As he spoke, Shen Lang reached into the air and grabbed a piece of paper and a pen.
Qin Muyue stared in disbelief. The paper was the manuscript paper on her desk, and the pen was her favorite fountain pen! Qin Muyue
felt like she was going crazy. Was this guy performing magic or was he a monster?
A monster? Why didn't she think he was a god? Qin Muyue found it strange. After thinking for a long time, she finally came up with a reason: this guy was so wicked. Where in heaven could there be a god as wicked and lecherous as him? He must be an evil monster!
"You...you...how did you do that? That...that..."
Qin Muyue was speechless again. The shock was too great.
Actually, it was just a simple telekinesis, something any cultivator with a little true energy could do. Shen Lang had used it without realizing it because he wanted to save time. However, Qin Muyue wasn't an outsider to him, so there was nothing to hide."
Shen Lang evasively said, "Haha, I'll tell you about that later. It's just a magic trick, a little kiss. Now let's sign the agreement."
With that, Shen Lang quickly wrote something on a piece of paper, signed his name, and showed it to Qin Muyue.
Qin Muyue took it and saw that it read: Agreement between Party A and Party B regarding a bet on whether a wall can speak. Party A: Shen Lang (Husband) Party B: Qin Muyue (Wife) To ensure the smooth execution of this bet, Party A and Party B hereby sign the following agreement: I. Principles.
Party A and Party B are free and voluntary in this bet, without any coercion or blackmail.
II. Content.
To enhance the romance, fun, and efficiency of their courtship, Party A and Party B hereby make a bet on whether a wall can speak and apologize to Party B. If the wall cannot speak, Party A loses; if the wall speaks, Party B loses.
III. Stakes.
If Party A loses, they must run naked through the street during morning exercise. If Party B loses, they will willingly become Party A's wife.
IV. This betting activity is unsupervised, without judges or audience; it relies entirely on self-discipline. Verbal agreements are meaningless; this agreement is in writing.
V. This agreement is made in one copy and shall take effect upon signature (or seal) by both parties.
Party A: Shen Lang (handprint) Party B: Qin Muyue ( ) xxxx year x month x day...
Before Qin Muyue had even finished reading, she was already laughing so hard she could hardly breathe. She said, "You really know how to write nonsense. If our applied writing teacher saw this, she'd be furious!"
Shen Lang said, "Enough nonsense, hurry up and sign and put your fingerprint on it!"
Qin Muyue said, "What do you mean by signing and putting your fingerprint on it? It sounds awful, like I'm signing a contract of servitude!"
Shen Lang said, "Actually, it's pretty much like it. Once you sign this agreement, my dear sister will be mine, Shen Lang's person. You'll be a member of the Shen family in life, and in death... with me here, you won't die. If you do die, it'll be a death for you, haha."
Qin Muyue spat, "Pah, you scoundrel!"
"Hurry up and sign it. After you sign, let's get down to business."
"Is signing my name enough?"
"I also need to put my fingerprint on it!"
"I don't want to, the ink on my hands is so dirty and ugly!"
“You don’t have to use your hands, just a lip print. A handprint and a lip print are pretty much the same, and you have lipstick on your lips anyway!”
Saying this, he placed the agreement near Qin Muyue’s lips.
Qin Muyue weighed the pros and cons, her pretty face flushed, and she awkwardly brought her lips to the agreement, leaving a bright red lip print on the “Party B” section…
Shen Lang took the agreement “signed” by Qin Muyue, signed his own name, and said, “Sister, you’ve already signed and sealed it, so you can’t go back on your word.”
Qin Muyue pretended to be magnanimous and said, “Okay, no problem, let’s begin. I’ll see how you make the wall apologize to me!”
Shen Lang said, “Then open your eyes wide and watch. As the saying goes, nothing is impossible, only unimaginable. Today I’ll show you!”
After saying this, Shen Lang silently channeled his true energy into the wall. Soon, a phantom appeared on the wall, becoming clearer and clearer, more and more like a human face, but that face was made of white paint, looking very comical.
Qin Muyue was so shocked by this sudden situation that her mouth hung open. She exclaimed, "This...this...what's going on...ah?"
Actually, this was just an unusual application of true qi. True qi is, in fact, a kind of energy, an invisible and intangible energy. By injecting this energy into the wall, that part of the wall was at the mercy of the true qi. Shen Lang was the controller of the true qi, so naturally, it was moving according to his imagination.
Shen Lang didn't answer, but manipulated the true qi to make the "wall face" speak: "Dear Miss Yueyue, I'm truly sorry. Because I was too hard, I caused you immense pain. For this, I sincerely apologize, and I hope you accept it!"
Qin Muyue was so surprised she almost jumped up, but she quickly sensed something was off. What did he mean by "I was too hard, causing you immense pain"? It was too suggestive!
"Shen Lang, you're being a pervert again!"

Chapter 260 Beautiful Zongzi
Shen Lang cried out aggrievedly, "What did I do this time? Is it wrong to apologize?"
Qin Muyue said shyly, "You just said that you... are too hard and hurt me, that's being a pervert!"
Shen Lang said, "How could that be? Wife, the wall is very pure. I was just telling the truth. It really is very hard. Otherwise, why would you be the one who got hurt when you bumped into each other? I really didn't think of anything else. Did you think of anything else?"
Qin Muyue was no match for this pervert, her face... Unable to hold back any longer, she buried herself in the blankets, cursing, "You scoundrel, you scoundrel, you big scoundrel, all you do is bully people!"
Shen Lang said, "Sister, you surrendered so quickly?"
Qin Muyue asked, puzzled, "What surrender?"
Shen Lang said, "Sister, you've stuck your little butt out so high, don't you allow me to make some fantasies? I can't help it, this little butt is too tempting, and it's even offered itself to me, so I won't be polite, otherwise wouldn't I be unromantic?"
As he spoke, Shen Lang placed his large hand on Qin Muyue's pert buttocks and gave it a hard squeeze.
Qin Muyue was startled, as if electrocuted. She quickly rolled to the side, wrapped in the blanket, leaving only her head sticking out. She looked like a long, thin rice dumpling, but the filling inside was a stunning beauty…
Once she reached the corner, the flustered Qin Muyue realized something was wrong. She was completely wrapped in the blanket. She finally understood what it meant to be trapped in one's own cocoon. Shen Lang, with a wicked grin, had already chased her to the corner, squeezing her so tightly that she had no room to move. Shen Lang was also a little surprised, but after the initial surprise, he smiled brightly. This kind of accidental mishap was much better than any rehearsal. No wonder the ancients said, "Fine lines are born of nature, and a skillful hand may occasionally create them." This situation was indeed similar to composing poetry. Shen Lang couldn't help but think of those Qing Dynasty palace dramas in Hong Kong Category III films, where concubines would be wrapped in blankets and carried over by eunuchs if they were to be favored by the emperor. Shen Lang chuckled mischievously. Although there were no eunuchs now, a king and concubines were enough. The concubines of the Qing Dynasty weren't necessarily as beautiful as Qin Muyue, and he was about to become her king, haha.
Shen Lang gently stroked Qin Muyue's pretty face and said, "Good sister, what kind of trick is this? I've never seen anything like it before. This time, I really want to try something new. To be honest, I love changing things up in bed. I didn't expect your creativity to be just as good as mine. It seems I'll have to do this with you more often in the future, to fully explore your potential. Your talent can't be buried!"
"Talent?"
Qin Muyue almost fainted upon hearing this, and protested, "You're talking nonsense! I didn't! I... I didn't... that... it was just an accident!"
Shen Lang said "Oh," and asked, "An accident? Was it really an accident?"
Qin Muyue nodded very seriously, her expression even more serious than when she was proctoring the college entrance exam. However, her whole body was wrapped in the blanket, making even nodding a little difficult, but the meaning of her nod was conveyed. Shen Lang chuckled and said, "So it really was an accident. But I really like accidents like this. I hope there will be more of these in the future, haha!"
Qin Muyue felt like dying. What was this dead man's skin made of? It could probably withstand an aerial bomb. Her face flushed red, and she shouted, "Anyway, you're not allowed to come any closer, you're not allowed to touch me, and you're not allowed to kiss me!"
Shen Lang, of course, wouldn't listen to her. Instead, he intensified his actions, slipping one hand under her neck and moving it all the way to her breasts, kneading them gently. The pressure of the blanket made Shen Lang love it, and he praised, "Baby, I really like you more and more. It turns out that caressing breasts in a confined space is even more wonderful. I've learned another trick today; I can try it more often in the future."
Qin Muyue's breasts were being attacked, and an unbearable sensation surged from her chest throughout her body. Her body involuntarily wanted to twist, but wrapped in the blanket, she couldn't move. The intense stimulation couldn't dissipate, and Qin Muyue's face quickly became flushed, resembling a beautiful woman experiencing intense climax. Her eyes were so alluring that they almost stole Shen Lang's soul. Qin Muyue began to struggle, but her struggles were futile. She pleaded, "Please stop touching me, I can't take it anymore. How about this, I'll allow you to hug me, but you can't do anything bad."
Shen Lang sighed, "That's a rather unreasonable request, but it's not impossible. Consider one condition as my condition, and I'll agree."
"What condition?"
"Let me kiss you, and I'll agree! Looking at your beautiful face, I realize I'm completely captivated. Come on, give me a kiss, just one kiss and I'll grant your request!"
Before Qin Muyue could object, "Mmm!"
Shen Lang kissed her lips heavily, deliberately making a loud sound, his expression smug. Qin Muyue was a little stunned. This was different from the accidental kiss in the restaurant's private room. This kiss was intentional, premeditated. Although it was short, its meaning was completely different.
"How could you do this? I didn't even agree! How could you kiss me? You ambushed me!"
Qin Muyue protested loudly, feeling like she was going crazy. Shen Lang laughed, "I couldn't resist! My wife, Yueyue, is so beautiful, it's impossible not to be attracted."
Qin Muyue blushed and said, "You're blatantly being a pervert!"
Shen Lang said, "My dear wife, you know, God created women so that men could be perverts. Come on, let's kiss again!"
"You're talking nonsense!"
"Wife, stop with the nonsense. You've already lost the bet, now it's time for you to fulfill your promise." After saying that, without waiting for Qin Muyue's agreement, he pounced on her.
Because of the blanket, Shen Lang's sensation wasn't very strong, but Qin Muyue's heart was pounding. She remembered the feeling of being pinned down by Shen Lang last time, that familiar masculine scent washing over her.
Looking at Qin Muyue's coy and shy face, Shen Lang was captivated and "couldn't help" kiss her again.
Qin Muyue initially tried to dodge, but quickly surrendered to Shen Lang's relentless onslaught. First, her lips were breached, then her tongue, and she was soon lost in the somewhat rough yet sweet kiss. After
a while, Shen Lang's hands began to wander, slipping under the covers again and kneading Qin Muyue's full breasts forcefully.
Qin Muyue soon began to pant heavily. When she realized what was happening, she was suddenly startled. If she didn't resist, she would truly be finished. So, she mustered her remaining strength and bit down hard on Shen Lang's tongue.
"Ah—"
Shen Lang cried out in pain, finally releasing Qin Muyue. He checked her over; thankfully, she hadn't drawn blood, otherwise it would have been incredibly embarrassing—to bleed first during such a wonderful act without making the woman bleed would be too shameful.

Chapter 261: A Seriously
Problematic Ringtone!
People usually choose their favorite music as their phone ringtone, and Shen Lang was no exception. But now, Shen Lang felt it was pure noise. His high school political science textbook explained in its philosophy section that the inherent relationship of opposites and unity within things is called contradiction. The two sides of a contradiction repel and struggle against each other, depend on each other under certain conditions, and transform in opposite directions according to certain conditions.
Now, with his phone ringing at such an inopportune moment, successfully turning the ringtone into noise, Shen Lang took a deep breath. "I'm a civilized man who's studied philosophy," he thought, "I won't get angry!"
So, Shen Lang decided to ignore it and continue his sharp attack on Qin Muyue.
However, the ringtone was too persistent, ringing for a full five minutes.
Finally, Shen Lang felt that if he didn't pick up the phone, he would be betraying this incredibly persistent spirit. He finally stopped this war against Qin Muyue and grabbed the phone. It was an unfamiliar number.
"Sorry to bother me. If it's not urgent, please hang up. I don't want to swear."
Shen Lang spoke rudely, which was understandable. Even a clay figure has some temper; nobody likes hearing a knock on the door during sex, and nobody enjoys hearing the phone ring during the heat of the moment.
"Heh, well, I'm really sorry, but I think you should be interested in talking to me."
A deep male voice came from the other end. Although he was apologizing, there was no hint of servility, making Shen Lang feel that his sincerity was lacking.
Just as he was about to explode, Shen Lang suddenly stopped... Wait...
Although the voice coming from the phone was a bit distorted, Shen Lang still recognized the voice; he was sure he had heard it somewhere before.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Shen Lang's mind. He remembered a night two months ago when he first dealt with Zhou Zijun, then went to a bar, met Ning Meng there, and returned to Hu Tie's courtyard with her. Finally, in the middle of the night, he was lured away by a mysterious person and had a foot-strength competition. Although he didn't catch the mysterious person, the person gave him a manual of techniques to be practiced alongside the Bone Refining Technique. Yes, that's the mysterious person!
Shen Lang said excitedly, "Are you the senior from that night?"
"Hehe, your memory is good, but I'm not a senior. If it's convenient, come out right away. Perhaps you need to talk to me."
"Perhaps you need to talk to me?"
Shen Lang found the man's words awkward, but he quickly understood the implication: the matter concerned him, and it was extremely urgent. If he didn't come quickly, he would definitely regret it.
Shen Lang didn't hesitate and said, "You decide the location!"
The person said, "Your phone might have been hacked. Why don't you go to that courtyard first? I'll send someone to pick you up there." Shen Lang said, "Okay, I'll be right there!"
Hanging up the phone, Shen Lang said to the dazed Qin Muyue, "Sister, you're lucky today. We'll meet again sometime. Bye!"
"Uh..."
Qin Muyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry. What kind of call was so effective, managing to lure Shen Lang away so easily under these circumstances?
Could it be a woman?
Thinking of this, Qin Muyue felt a little dejected. Could there really be a woman more attractive than herself?
Pah, I'm just overthinking it. Isn't it good that he's gone?
Ah…it's already past three o'clock, I have afternoon classes…that damn guy made me skip lunch…
Shen Lang returned to Hu Tie's courtyard as quickly as possible. Before he could even stand properly, a black Mercedes pulled up in front of the door. The window rolled down, and a man in a black suit appeared inside, saying, “Please get in.” The man's face was cold and expressionless, but Shen Lang could tell at a glance that this man's skills were probably superior to his own. It was a mysterious, almost subconscious feeling.
The man seemed quiet and aloof, not even getting out of the car.
Shen Lang, unconcerned with formalities, nodded, opened the car door, and sat in the passenger seat.
Once inside, the man in black started the car without a word.
He was a skilled driver, weaving effortlessly through traffic with incredible agility, never exceeding the speed limit.
Shen Lang couldn't help but think of Zhao Ziyang. If it were that speeding guy, he wouldn't care about speeding. It had been a long time since they'd been in contact; he wondered how that guy was doing.
Thirty minutes later, the Mercedes stopped at a small pier near Huaqing Pool, a famous scenic spot in Xiajing. Huaqing Pool wasn't the Huaqing Pool where Yang Guifei supposedly bathed; it was a semi-artificial lake covering over 1000 acres. Originally a large depression, it was later developed by diverting water, creating over 1000 acres of water and the Huaqing Pool Water Park. Several higher areas were artificially created into small islands, offering beautiful scenery.
At the small dock of Huaqing Pool, there were many tourist boats, including speedboats and pleasure boats, available for rent.
The man in black led Shen Lang onto one of the boats and said, "Mr. Tie is inside. Please make yourselves at home."
Shen Lang replied, "Thank you for your trouble!"
The man in black nodded and turned to leave without saying a word.
The boat then left the dock and headed towards the center of the lake.
"Shen Lang, come in!"
Shen Lang entered the cabin and saw a man in his early thirties sitting inside. Although seated, he was clearly tall and had a somewhat rugged air about him, but he didn't give off a brute vibe. He was smiling at Shen Lang. The man's sitting posture was very subtle; he simply sat motionless, as if it were the most impenetrable defensive posture in the world. This gave Shen Lang the urge to attack, but he quickly realized, to his dismay, that the man seemed to have no weaknesses. No matter which direction he attacked from, he had no chance of succeeding.
"No need to look anymore. With your current skill, you can't find my weakness!"
Shen Lang chuckled, not feeling that the man was looking down on him, but rather that he seemed to be testing his skills, presumably having obtained the information he needed.
"You're the black-clad senior from that day?"
"Hehe, stop calling me senior. My name is Tie Ying, not much older than you. By seniority, I'm your senior brother."
Shen Lang was quite surprised and said, "Senior brother? You're a member of the Xiantian Sect?"
Tie Ying said, "That's right. I suppose Yuwen Zhi'ang has already told you quite a bit, so I won't repeat myself." Shen Lang said, "You know Yuwen Zhi'ang?" Tie Ying
said, "Strictly speaking, we're from the same sect. There's no reason I wouldn't know him. Sit down, what would you like to drink?" Shen
Lang shrugged and said, "Anything is fine. I'm not picky, I'm easy to please!"
Tie Ying laughed, "You've stumped me. We have wine and tea, but nothing 'anything is fine.' Oh well, I don't like tea either. Let's have some wine, I guarantee you've never had anything like it before."
"Green wine?"
Shen Lang asked in surprise, looking at the liquid Tie Ying poured from the bottle. "What kind of wine is this?"
Tie Ying replied, "Never seen it before, have you? It's nothing special, just ordinary white wine with some snake venom added."
Shen Lang was startled again: "Snake venom?"
Tie Ying laughed: "Dare to drink it?"
Shen Lang laughed heartily: "Why wouldn't I dare? Even if you invited me here just to poison me, I'd accept it." Tie Ying also laughed heartily: "So straightforward! I like this junior brother of yours!"
Shen Lang quickly pretended to dodge, exaggeratingly saying, "Quickly, don't say that, it'll be troublesome if my sisters-in-law hear."
Tie Ying laughed: "Haha, alright, alright, let's drink!"
Shen Lang clinked glasses with Tie Ying and downed his glass in one gulp.
Holy crap, this is strong?
It felt like a flame burning from his mouth all the way to his stomach, as if his whole body was about to be set on fire. Shen Lang choked and coughed, then said with a wry smile, "Senior brother, you didn't do this on purpose, did you?"
Tie Ying said, "Hehe, who told you to drink so fast? I felt the same way the first time I drank it. But this wine has one advantage: one sip will guarantee you immunity to all poisons for a week." "That's amazing?"
"But you can't drink too much, at most one cup a day, otherwise you'll still get poisoned. Here's another bottle, you can have it."
With that, Tie Ying took a ceramic wine bottle out of his bag and handed it to Shen Lang.
Shen Lang suddenly sensed something was amiss and said, "Senior brother, I don't think you would give me this for no reason, would you?"
Tie Ying showed an appreciative expression and said, "Junior brother is truly clever. I'll just tell you directly."
Shen Lang said, "Please speak, senior brother."
"In fact, you've been targeted."
"Targeted? Why? Who?"
"As far as I know, you've been targeted because of a research project you're working on. When it was submitted to the relevant national departments for approval, it was leaked by some treacherous officials. Now, at least 10 countries' secret agents have arrived in Xiajing City, hoping to get a share of the profits." "Could it be Super Wheat?"
"Probably. According to what I've heard, it's a crop with extremely high yields. With the world's population pressure so great, food security has always been a global problem. I've heard there's a crop that can yield several tons per acre. No country wouldn't be interested. As for sending people to 'investigate,' that's only a matter of time. Right now, at least 10 countries are already impatient. According to our information, among these 10 countries, there are both major grain-producing countries and major grain-consuming countries. Among them, the countries that pose the greatest threat to you are Japan, the United States, the United Kingdom, and India. The others are just small fry trying to fish in troubled waters."
Shen Lang was quite startled after hearing this and said, "That serious?"
Tie Ying said with a serious face, "Zuo Zong isn't omnipotent. Although our information is well-informed, we can't say we have the whole situation. Things might be even more serious than they are now. However, under normal circumstances, foreign agents wouldn't dare to openly act in China. I estimate they will try diplomacy first, and only resort to unconventional methods if you don't agree to their demands."
Shen Lang said: "Senior brother, I don't know how to thank you enough. If it weren't for your reminder, the consequences would have been unimaginable. Yuwen Zhi'ang mentioned it to me once, but I didn't realize it would be this serious. I thought it was some big company or competitor, so I didn't pay enough attention. Damn it, I, Shen Lang, have inadvertently become a celebrity in several major countries."
Tie Ying said, "Junior brother, don't worry. Since you are Uncle Hu's disciple, you are now a member of our Xiantian Sect. I don't care how the Right Sect treats you, but the Left Sect will definitely support you with all its might."
Shen Lang said gratefully, "Thank you, senior brother!"
Tie Ying said, "Junior brother, you're being too polite. Although there is infighting within the Xiantian Sect, it's definitely not infighting. Moreover, Uncle Hu is a highly respected person in the sect. Out of respect for him, the Left Sect will also provide full support. As for the research base, I think you should go there yourself. If I didn't have so many other things to attend to, I would personally go for you."
Shen Lang said, "I'm already very grateful that senior brother informed me in advance. I will go there as soon as possible."
Tie Ying said, "As for this poisoned wine, it has a very good antidote effect. Since there are many skilled poisoners among the Japanese and Indian agents who have come to China this time, I think this poisoned wine should come in handy, just in case. In addition, I will send ten experts from our sect to assist you."
Shen Lang said, "Senior brother, no need for formalities. Shen Lang will remember everything."

Chapter 262 Water and Earth Cover
Shen Lang bid farewell to Tie Ying, intending to return to his courtyard to make some preparations before heading directly to Chengjia Village. He didn't tell Tian Qingya about these matters, lest she worry.
While packing his things in his room, Shen Lang suddenly heard a knocking sound at the door. The knocking seemed urgent, one after another, as if determined to break
down the door. Shen Lang frowned, thinking, "Could they have come so soon? Damn it, let's see who it is!"
He opened the door and saw two middle-aged men standing outside, their car parked behind them. It looked quite nice; add a ring and it would be the Olympic symbol.
One was a portly man with a fleshy face and a greasy forehead
, dressed in a suit and shiny shoes. The other was a thin, weasel-faced man with gold-rimmed glasses, a briefcase tucked under one arm, the other raised as if to knock. A
typical boss and secretary duo, very standard, perfectly matching Shen Lang's image of a corrupt official and his unscrupulous secretary. Shen Lang suddenly opened the door, and the secretary, knocking on empty air, looked slightly embarrassed.
Shen Lang sized up the two men, not making a good first impression, so his tone wasn't exactly polite either. He frowned and said, "Hey, do you really need to use all your strength to knock on a door?"
The man with the gold-rimmed glasses' face darkened, about to explode in anger, but then seemed to remember something and forcibly suppressed it, saying, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Shen Lang?"
Shen Lang replied dismissively, "That's me. What can I do for you?" The man
with the gold-rimmed glasses said, "Hello, Mr. Shen. Let me introduce you. This is President Chen of Huaxia University, in charge of research. I'm President Chen's secretary, my surname is Huang. We have some matters we'd like to discuss with you, Mr. Shen."
Huaxia University? Research? Shen Lang sneered inwardly. He hadn't expected the foreigners to arrive before the Chinese had already come. Truly remarkable.
Shen Lang said, "Please speak frankly." At this moment, the principal surnamed Chen patted the man in the gold-rimmed glasses on the shoulder, signaling him to step aside, and said, "Mr. Shen, could we find a place to sit down and talk?"
Shen Lang said, "To be honest, I'm very busy. We can talk here. My house is a bit messy, and it's inconvenient to invite you both in. Tell me, is it because of the grain seeds? If so, then there's nothing to talk about. Please leave!"
As he spoke, Shen Lang was about to close the door.
Principal Chen hurriedly stopped Shen Lang, saying urgently, "Mr. Shen, please wait a moment. Let me finish explaining before making a decision. Since you've guessed it, I'll be frank. You bought this project from our school for 4 million yuan through our doctoral student, Lin Yan. Now, our school wants to take it back. Mr. Shen, name your price!"
Shen Lang sneered, "You really want me to name my price?"
Principal Chen seemed oblivious to Shen Lang's expression and tone, assuming he had softened his stance, and said, "Besides the price, Mr. Shen, please feel free to make any other requests. We will certainly try our best to meet them." Shen Lang said, "One trillion US dollars!"
"What?"
Principal Chen's face turned ugly instantly, as if he had choked. He coughed for a long time before saying, "Mr. Shen, are you joking? That project was only worth 4 million back then."
Shen Lang said, "Times have changed. I've lost my entire fortune. You were the ones who gave up on it back then. Now that the project is about to succeed, you want to take it back. Is there such a good thing in the world?"
The secretary with the gold-rimmed glasses said, "Are you crazy for money? Even if you sold the entire Xiajing City, it wouldn't be worth 10,000 billion US dollars!"
Shen Lang gave the secretary a cold look. The secretary seemed to have been struck by lightning, his mind reeling, and he couldn't utter a word.
"Principal Chen, who's in charge here? I can only talk to one person." Shen Lang's words were clearly provocative, and what leaders hate most is subordinates overstepping their bounds and challenging their authority. Coupled with Shen Lang's mocking tone, Principal Chen finally couldn't take it anymore. His face darkened, and he shouted, "When did it become your turn to speak? Shut up!" The man
in gold-rimmed glasses turned pale and bowed obsequiously, "Yes...yes..."
After reprimanding his subordinate, Principal Chen said, "Mr. Shen, please consider this. Our school is very sincere. As long as the conditions aren't too harsh, we can still discuss it. As for that $1 trillion, Mr. Shen, you must be joking."
Shen Lang said, "I'm not joking. If you accept, we'll talk; if not, forget it. I don't need to consider it anymore. If you two have nothing else, please leave!"
Principal Chen was still persistent and said, "Mr. Shen, how about this? If you're not willing to return it completely, then our school will provide funding for the research project. Consider this project between you and me..." "Our school is developing this together. When applying for national patents and seed approval numbers, we can put our school's name on it. What do you think?"
Shen Lang was a little dizzy. He had seen shamelessness before, but never this shameless. He said, "Principal Chen, I'm really busy. Please go back!"
Principal Chen finally became angry and said in a sinister tone, "Mr. Shen, please reconsider. Having more friends means having more options." Shen Lang laughed angrily and said, "What, are you threatening me?" Principal
Chen said, "I wouldn't dare. But I've heard that this project is already making headlines. I'm afraid it's attracting a lot of attention. If we cooperate with Huaxia University, at least we can get the school's protection and assistance. To tell you the truth, I'm here not only on behalf of Huaxia University, but also on behalf of the Xiajing Municipal Government. The Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government are very interested in this project and plan to include it as a key support project for agriculture, rural areas, and farmers this year. As long as Mr. Shen agrees, we can discuss any conditions. However, if Mr. Shen doesn't agree, hehe."
Shen Lang was too lazy to argue with this kind of person anymore and said coldly, "Don't bother seeing me out!"
"Bang!"
The door slammed shut. Shen Lang had reached his limit; he felt he might lose control and punch someone if he continued. ...
At this moment, the secretary surnamed Huang finally recovered, seemingly forgetting Principal Chen's earlier reprimand. He spoke with a tone of sympathy, "Principal Chen, this Shen fellow is too ungrateful. When have you ever been so polite to anyone?"
Principal Chen said, "If it weren't for the Municipal Party Committee's personal instructions, why would I put up with this nouveau riche? We've done our best. Call the Municipal Party Committee; I don't need to teach you how to say it, do I?" The secretary,
Huang, said obsequiously, "Principal Chen, don't worry. One call from me, and I guarantee Shen Lang won't be able to stay in Xia Jing." ...
After packing his things, Shen Lang opened the door to leave, but was suddenly startled by the scene before him. Four black Mercedes-Benz cars were parked in a row outside the gate, and a line of ten burly men in black stood in front of them. Although they weren't wearing sunglasses, their uniform black suits were intimidating enough that passersby avoided them, probably thinking they had encountered gangsters.
Among them was one that Shen Lang recognized—the same man in black who had taken him to see Tie Ying.
When the ten men in black saw Shen Lang emerge, they bowed slightly and said in unison, "Greetings, Uncle-Master Shen!"
The loud, unified shout startled Shen Lang, who asked, somewhat bewildered, "Uncle-Master? Are you calling me?"
The man in black remained expressionless, respectfully clasping his hands and saying, "Xue Dong greets Uncle Shen! These are my nine junior brothers. They will obey Uncle Tie's orders and will be at Uncle Shen's command from now on."
Shen Lang asked unwillingly, "Are you sure I'm your uncle?"
Xue Dong clasped his hands and said, "Yes!"
Shen Lang secretly rolled his eyes. This guy was really cold-blooded, unwilling to explain a single word. He didn't know how the seniority system in the Xiantian Sect was determined, but his master was Hu Tie, and as the Left Protector, Hu Tie's seniority must be quite high. With the rise in seniority, his own seniority would also increase. However, Shen Lang wasn't used to this form of address and said, "I think we're all about the same age, maybe even a bit older than me. Let's just call each other brothers, and use our names."
Xue Dong said seriously, "Uncle-Master, I cannot comply, etiquette cannot be disregarded!"
Shen Lang sweated a little; he really was... stubborn and inflexible. Helplessly, he said, "Then... let's set off now."
Xue Dong nodded, waved his hand, and the group quickly climbed into the cars, three to a car.
Xue Dong said, "Uncle-Master, please get in!"
Shen Lang shrugged helplessly and got into the only empty car, with Xue Dong still acting as the driver. Shen Lang was quite impressed; these ten guys were like ten tree stumps, too lazy to utter a single word of nonsense, but their skills were all quite good. If it came to a contest, Shen Lang wasn't confident he could beat any of them.
Ten such experts in one group—the strength of the Xiantian Sect was truly evident.
The four cars sped along, arriving at Chengjia Village in less than three hours.
Upon arriving at Chengjia Village, after exchanging pleasantries, Shen Lang looked around and saw that everything was proceeding smoothly and normally, so he was temporarily relieved.
Xia Youran was now fully engaged, managing everything meticulously, setting a good example for her subordinates.
Lin Yan remained in the lab, bringing good news that the last major problem had been largely solved, and they estimated a major success within another month.
Li Yiyang hadn't returned to the city yet; the guy had recently fallen for a girl in the village, and they were currently very much in love. His underlings had adapted to life here and hadn't caused any trouble. Xia Youran had been staying at Cheng Guangyuan's new house, and Shen Lang had also made it his headquarters, calling Lin Yan and Li Yiyang over for a meeting.
Shen Lang had sent Xia Youran away; there was no need for too many people to know about this, and even if they did, it wouldn't help, only causing her unnecessary worry.
Xue Dong and his fellow students had also been deployed, focusing on protecting the scientists' safety.
Now, only Shen Yunzhong, Lin Yan, and Li Yiyang remained in the courtyard. The three sat around a small table, drinking and chatting.
Li Yiyang, an impatient fellow, couldn't help but ask, "Langzi, what's going on? You're being so secretive. Just tell me already, or I'll be on edge."
Lin Yan laughed, "Yiyang, you're just too impatient. Langzi wouldn't do that. Why are you in such a hurry? Let me guess, did that Principal Chen come looking for you? That guy's no good."
Shen Lang said in surprise, "Hehe, you guessed right, but things are far more complicated than that. We're being watched."
Lin Yan said nonchalantly, "Keeping this kind of thing secret is very difficult. It's not surprising that we're being watched."
Shen Lang said, "What if we're being watched by the state apparatus?"
Lin Yan was startled and said, "Really?"
Li Yiyang, this ignorant fellow, asked curiously, "What apparatus? Look how scared you are!"
Shen Lang and Li Yiyang rolled their eyes. The best way to deal with this kind of muscle-bound, simple-minded idiot is to ignore him.
Shen Lang said, "Agents from thousands of countries have already infiltrated China; we just don't know when they'll strike."
Li Yiyang laughed, "What's there to be afraid of? We'll meet force with force, and we brothers aren't pushovers."
Shen Lang asked, "Do you think your skills compare to those ten cold-blooded guys from earlier?"
Li Yiyang scratched his head sheepishly, "Well... hehe, they're definitely a bit weaker."
Shen Lang said, "Don't flatter yourself. Even a hundred of you wouldn't be as big as one of their hands. As for agents, although I don't... " "I've seen them before, they're probably not much worse than those guys from earlier."
Li Yiyang said sullenly, "So that means we have no chance at all? What should we do?"
Shen Lang said seriously, "We'll deal with whatever comes our way!"
This time it was Li Yiyang's turn to roll his eyes and say, "Tch, isn't that what I just said!"

Chapter 263 A Feast for the Eyes
Shen Lang suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, how's your cultivation going? Have you started yet?"
Lin Yan chuckled without saying a word, perhaps it was a sly chuckle, a smug smile. Li Yiyang, however, wore a wronged expression, then glared and muttered, "Lin Yan, don't act all innocent after getting something for nothing. Have some sympathy, okay?"
Shen Lang couldn't help but laugh, saying, "Really? You're a gangster, and you expect someone to sympathize with you? Aren't you ashamed? When have you ever seen a gangster act like a wronged little wife?"
Li Yiyang pouted, dissatisfied, "You ungrateful bastard, Lin Yan bullied me, and you're laughing at me too? Do you really not know, or are you pretending not to? That brat Lin Yan has a girlfriend. The two of them are all lovey-dovey and having fun all day long, and it doesn't even interfere with their training. They mastered the basics in less than three days. I'm a poor bachelor, I don't have a proper girlfriend. I finally found one in the village, but..." She was a frighteningly conservative girl. Guess what she said? Something about holding hands for a year, hugging for two, kissing for three, caressing for four, and only sleeping together for five… What kind of nonsense is that? Which girl I, Li Yiyang, have ever liked has lasted more than an hour? If I didn't really like her, I would have just…#%……￥……&%……*&…”
Lin Yan laughed, “Those before definitely didn’t last more than an hour, less than an hour from entering to leaving!”
Li Yiyang was stunned, immediately understanding Lin Yan’s meaning, and roared, “Damn it! How can your educated guys be so insidious? Insulting without using profanity, and even beating around the bush! Hey, are you going to do anything about this? My brother’s been bullied terribly!”
Shen Lang, however, didn’t hear him. He was currently in a daze. Wasn’t that “five-year theory” invented by Qin Muyue? How did it get here? Shen Lang asked curiously, "Yiyang, what does that girl of yours do?"
Li Yiyang's face lit up with delight at Shen Lang's question, his smugness overflowing. Before he could answer, Lin Yan interrupted, "Hehe, you'd never guess! That girl is actually a college student, a junior this year. She went home for summer vacation, and this beast saw her, and then he started clinging to her..."
Li Yiyang grew increasingly suspicious, his eyes widening in anger, "You're talking nonsense! When did I cling to her? That's called persistence, you know?"
Shen Lang was secretly delighted, saying, "Alright, alright, let's say persistence. Tell me, is that girl from Huaxia University?"
Li Yiyang stared at Shen Lang as if he were an alien, his face full of confusion, and asked, "How did you know? I don't think I mentioned that!"
Shen Lang laughed heartily. Since they were from Huaxia University, they must be Qin Muyue's students; otherwise, they wouldn't know such profound truths. Wow, it turns out a teacher's views on love really do influence students. Shen Lang chuckled and said, "Right, let's not talk about that now. Let's get back to the point. We must be extremely vigilant these days regarding any potential accidents or dangers. The most important thing is to ensure the safety of our scientists. We can lose anything, but we can't lose our scientists. As long as they're alive, we still have a chance to rise again."
Li Yiyang said, "Langzi, aren't you being too pessimistic? You're just boosting others' morale while diminishing our own! The outcome is still uncertain. I don't believe those so-called foreign agents are that capable. I just haven't received special training. If they trained me like that, hmph!"
Lin Yan said, "Anyway, being careful is always better!"
Li Yiyang said, "Perhaps you're worrying too much. I really want to see those so-called foreign agents!"
Shen Lang said, "Don't worry about foreign agents yet. Let me introduce you to some good wine first!"
"Good wine?"
Li Yiyang, a heavy drinker, had his eyes light up at the mention of wine, his nose even twitching as he eagerly asked, "What wine? What wine?"
Lin Yan laughed, "If you had this much drive back in school, you wouldn't have ended up in the underworld." Li Yiyang retorted, "Come on, school is nothing compared to the thrill of killing people... Pah, you've led me astray again. You brat, hurry up and get the wine! I haven't had any good wine in days. This village is too poor; they can't even sell wine that costs more than 10 yuan!"
Shen Lang laughed, "Precisely because it's so poor, nobody buys expensive wine, so naturally nobody sells it."
With that, Shen Lang took out the small white bottle, opened it, and poured a cup of dark, snake venom-infused wine into the glass.
Li Yiyang and Lin Yan were dumbfounded. This thing was pitch black, even with a strange blue glow—could it be wine?
"This is wine?"
Li Yiyang's eyes were full of suspicion. Shen Lang said, "Of course it's wine. You'll know once you take a sip."
Li Yiyang said, "Really? If it's wine, you should take a sip first!"
Shen Lang said, "I've already had some today. I can't drink anymore; my body can't handle too much."
Li Yiyang scoffed, "Tch, you're kidding me. It looks like crude oil!"
Shen Lang laughed, "To be honest, it's a kind of snake venom wine. One sip and you'll be immune to all poisons for a week."
Li Yiyang still didn't believe it, shaking his head repeatedly, saying, "You're getting more and more mysterious. I wouldn't dare drink snake venom. One sip might really make me immune to all poisons, because if I kick the bucket, I'll naturally be immune."
Shen Lang laughed and scolded, "Damn it, kid, aren't you going too far? Would I harm you?"
Li Yiyang stared at the cup of snake venom wine, observing it carefully, and said, "That's hard to say. What if you're a foreign agent wearing a human skin mask to harm me?"
"Slap!"
Shen Lang couldn't help but slap Li Yiyang hard on the head, shouting, "Have you been reading too many martial arts novels? What bullshit human skin mask!"
"Yes, yes, you're Shen Lang, no doubt about it, haha..."
Li Yiyang chuckled. Lin Yan, seeing Li Yiyang's expression, was somewhat surprised and said, "You're shameless! Someone patted you and you're still laughing? Laugh if you want, but why the shameless way you're laughing?"
Li Yiyang said, "No, I'm sure the person in front of me is Langzi, because this slap landed in the right spot. Every time he pats my head, it's this spot, no doubt about it, haha, it's definitely Langzi!"
He seemed to have reached some great conclusion! Shen Lang and Lin Yan rolled their eyes again. What a shameless bastard!
Li Yiyang said, "Since it's Langzi, then there's no doubt about it. I'll drink this!"
After saying that, Li Yiyang downed the snake venom wine in his glass in one gulp...
"Wow—such strong liquor!"
Li Yiyang's alcohol tolerance was much better than Shen Lang's, but he was still flushed and coughing incessantly. Lin Yan knew Li Yiyang could hold his liquor, and seeing his reaction, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Is it really that strong?"
Li Yiyang glared at him and said, "Don't believe me? Try it!"
Lin Yan carefully took a sip, his face turning bright red, and he clicked his tongue, "Damn, how strong is this liquor?"
Shen Lang said, "It's just ordinary white liquor mixed with some snake venom and a few herbs to neutralize the toxicity. The alcohol content isn't high. I guess the strength is just due to the snake venom."
Lin Yan said, "It tastes almost like drinking alcohol. Damn, this is the first time I've ever drunk such strong liquor in my life." Shen Lang said, "Someone gave this to me. I heard that Indian and Japanese agents like to use poison, so you guys should take the rest and divide it up, especially the scientists." " Make them drink it to prevent those foreign agents from poisoning them. Make sure it's diluted before they drink it; their bodies aren't as strong as ours. You know, this stuff has an aphrodisiac effect on ordinary people."
Lin Yan chuckled, "Don't worry, Prodigal Son, I'll take care of it tonight."
At this moment, Li Yiyang's face turned bright red, feeling a surge of heat rising from his lower abdomen, as if his body was about to explode. He desperately wanted to find a place to vent, saying, "Prodigal Son, is there anything else? If not, I'm leaving."
Li Yiyang's skill was the lowest among the three, and he quickly succumbed to the aphrodisiac effect. Snakes are naturally aphrodisiac by nature, and their venom naturally has an aphrodisiac effect. Shen Lang, with his profound skill, didn't experience any reaction, but Li Yiyang, who hadn't yet mastered the basics, naturally couldn't resist. Shen Lang said, "That's all. What do you want to do?"
Li Yiyang said, "Hehe, I have something to do anyway."
Shen Lang said, "Hehe, everything is understood without words. Make the most of this opportunity!"
Li Yiyang said, "To surpass Lin Yan as soon as possible, I need to work harder, haha, I'm off!"
After saying that, Li Yiyang ran off in a flash, his speed almost double that of a few days ago!
Shen Lang said, "It seems this thing is not bad to cultivate, at least it can strengthen the body."
Lin Yan felt a bit of a reaction at this time, and hurriedly said goodbye, saying, "Then I'm leaving too. Call You Ran back, I won't delay you anymore, haha!"
Shen Lang laughed and scolded, "Go away!"...
Xia You Ran received Shen Lang's call and hurriedly went back. The separation of just a few days made Xia You Ran feel like each day was a year. Now that she finally had time to be with her beloved, she naturally didn't want to waste a single second. Back in the courtyard, Xia Youran saw Shen Lang lying on the large wicker chair. Her face flushed. She remembered that night when Shen Lang and Tian Qingya had been fooling around in there all night, while she had listened to "celestial music" for free. Xia Youran slowly walked over and said, "Brother Lang, what would you like to eat tonight? Youran will make it for you!"
Shen Lang carefully looked at the lovely woman in front of him. In just a few days, Xia Youran's temperament seemed to have undergone a complete transformation. She was more confident and more charming. The only thing that remained unchanged was her boundless tenderness and love.
Shen Lang pulled Xia Youran close, making her lie on top of him, and said, "I want to eat my little darling."
Xia Youran blushed and said coquettishly, "Brother Lang is bullying me again!"
Shen Lang chuckled and said, "Baby, I won't bully you yet. Let's talk for a while. How have you been these past few days?"
Xia Youran felt the sensation of her body touching Shen Lang's, especially her chest pressing against his body. A soft and numb feeling spread out like ripples, and she quickly felt weak and powerless, while her breathing became a little rapid.
"It's alright. I was a little flustered for the first day or two, but everyone was very easy to talk to, and it gradually got better. Brother Lang, what brings you here this time? I feel like something big has happened."
Shen Lang kissed Xia Youran on the lips, comforting her, "It's alright, it's just that some competitors are jealous of our stuff and want to sabotage it. But don't worry, I've already hired some experts, those ten guys from earlier, each one is even better than me!"
Xia Youran finally relaxed and said, "Brother Lang, let me make you something to eat. You guys were just drinking, there's no food to go with it."
Shen Lang said, "Alright then, actually, seeing you makes me not hungry at all, you're so beautiful!"
Xia Youran felt a sweet warmth in her heart from Shen Lang's words and said, "Brother Lang, after we finish eating, I... you can do whatever you want with me..."
Before she could finish, Xia Youran, her face burning, had already fled into the kitchen. Even after entering the kitchen, her heart was still pounding. How could she have said such a bold thing? ...

Chapter 264 Difficult to Distinguish Between Real and Fake
Watching Xia Youran bustle about in the kitchen, Shen Lang felt a surge of tenderness. His wife was becoming increasingly capable; she seemed to be a second Tian Qingya. However, that wasn't entirely true. Tian Qingya possessed an innate elegance befitting a lady of high society, while Xia Youran naturally exuded a delicate, shy charm. Aside from that, there were no significant differences between them. Perhaps Xia Youran had already idolized Tian Qingya, unconsciously learning her temperament, demeanor, and way of handling things. However, most of the time, one cannot perfectly imitate another; a significant portion remains their own. Otherwise, the world would be full of ridiculous (identical) people.
Although Xia Youran was learning from Tian Qingya, to a large extent, she was only learning her composure, prudence, and fearless leadership. In private, she was still a lovable, shy girl, having just escaped the shadow of the past and striving towards a happy new life.
Shen Lang had no doubt about Xia Youran's love for him. Just now, when Xia Youran said, "Brother Lang, what do you want to eat tonight? Youran will make it for you," a certain nerve deep within Shen Lang was gently touched, making him realize that he could never be indifferent to this girl again. ...
The phone, which Shen Lang had hated countless times, rang again. He picked it up and was so shocked he almost dropped it—Zuo Qiuyan!
This was definitely a mistake. Shen Lang felt innocent because the matter was extremely urgent. He had been so busy all afternoon that he had completely forgotten about his date with Zuo Qiuyan.
Shen Lang felt guilty. Originally, Zuo Qiuyan had seen him seeing someone off at the airport and knew he would be feeling down, so she wanted to take the opportunity to comfort him. Instead, he had stood her up without a word. Strictly speaking, this was a kind of subtle ingratitude.
He figured the girl was going to be angry. If someone could remain unmoved after being stood up, there were probably two reasons: either their relationship wasn't good, or the other person wanted to be stood up. But now that Zuo Qiuyan had called, it meant neither of those possibilities applied; she was here to confront him!
Shen Lang nervously pressed the answer button, and sure enough, Zuo Qiuyan's calm yet annoyed voice came through: "Shen Lang, it's already 8 PM. You're an hour late. Don't you think you should give her a reasonable explanation?"
Hearing Zuo Qiuyan's calm anger, Shen Lang felt a bitter taste in his mouth. Only Zuo Qiuyan could use such a gentle tone and approach to achieve such a forceful effect; no one else could.
This was a kind of elegance. This elegance also had a formal name: aura. With a strong aura, even coquetry would be more effective than others.
(Speaking of aura, I'd like to add a point here. I've been watching the TV series "Perfect Match" recently, and Tian Liang, that country bumpkin, completely fails to portray the domineering and intelligent aura of a large company's account manager. He's too amateurish. Standing next to the charismatic Qi Wei, he basically looks like a rickshaw driver or waiter. Let them fall in love... oh well! Personally, I think the first 25 episodes of this series are quite good, but the later episodes are basically paying homage to Qiong Yao's writing.)
Shen Lang said politely, "Qiu Yan, if I said I'd forgotten about this, would you believe me?"
Zuo Qiu Yan's tone remained calm, but she was clearly getting impatient: "Forgot? What woman is so charming that Shen Lang would forget about me, a woman of both talent and beauty, so completely?"
"A woman?"
Shen Lang blushed. "Why did Qiu Yan guess which woman it was, instead of which man or what it was about?"
Zuo Qiu Yan said, "Besides women, I can't think of any other hobbies Shen Lang might have. Based on past experience, Shen Lang shouldn't be gay. Besides, as an unemployed person, what could you possibly have that's more important than me?"
By the end, Zuo Qiu Yan's tone had become quite sarcastic and accusatory. It seemed that Miss Zuo had deep feelings for him. Shen Lang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Once emotions were involved, small things could be blown out of proportion, and big things were basically unsolvable.
Shen Lang: "..."
Zuo Qiuyan chuckled, "What, she guessed right? Speechless now?"
Shen Lang: "..."
Zuo Qiuyan: "Still not saying anything? Are you feeling guilty? Did you deliberately not come? Shen Lang, aren't you going too far? Does a beautiful woman throwing herself at you really put you in such a difficult position? You're hurting me!" Shen Lang
: "..."
Silence. Shen Lang had nothing to say. This was a completely murky matter; not explaining it only made it worse. Half a minute later, Zuo Qiuyan couldn't hold back any longer and said, "Where are you? I'm coming to find you! I want to see what kind of woman defeated me, so I can know who my enemy is."
"What?"
Shen Lang seemed to have been stepped on, and immediately refused, "No! No, absolutely not!"
What a joke! This place is basically an ominous place now. If you come, I'll have to spare some of my attention to protect you!
"Why not?"
Zuo Qiuyan pressed. "Aren't you even going to give me a chance to find out who the enemy is?"
Hearing her sarcastic words, Shen Lang didn't know how to respond. He admitted he had some feelings for Zuo Qiuyan, but it hadn't reached the point of a committed relationship. His previous talk about having an affair was largely just flirting, and the "practice script" was clearly an excuse—a woman teasing a man. There's no law or rule against women teasing men; it's just a different way of saying it. When a man teases a woman, it's called flirting; when a woman teases a man, it's called seduction; and when both parties tease each other, it's called flirting.
Flirting shouldn't be taken seriously, but it can sometimes become real.
Clearly, it hadn't become real yet, but it was practically heading in that direction. Zuo Qiuyan felt wronged and neglected. Even if she hadn't originally intended to do anything with Shen Lang, she was now determined to prove herself.
"I'm not in Xiajing, I'm out of town!"
Shen Lang told the truth, thinking this might dissuade Zuo Qiuyan from coming immediately, after all, it was hundreds of miles away.
"Out of town?"
Zuo Qiuyan's tone was full of suspicion. "Really?"
Shen Lang said confidently, "Of course it's true. If you don't believe me, hang up and check your phone bill. I'm out of town, so there will definitely be roaming charges. That damn China Mobile charges both ways, there's no mistake about that." Zuo Qiuyan said, "No need to worry about that. My SIM card is a Global VIP plan, global roaming is one price."
Shen Lang pursed his lips, speechless…
Zuo Qiuyan said, "Hurry up and tell me where you are. I'll come find you. I can only be sure you're not lying if I see you."
Shen Lang said awkwardly, "Is it really necessary?"
Zuo Qiuyan said, "Making excuses is a sign of guilt!"
Shen Lang said, "This place is very remote. You definitely won't find it."
Zuo Qiuyan said, "These aren't problems. The problem is whether you're there or not. I don't want the man I've chosen to be a big liar!"
Ugh, when did he become the "man she's chosen"?
To be honest, Shen Lang didn't want Zuo Qiuyan to come. This small mountain village was probably the most dangerous place in all of China now, with agents from several countries about to visit... Taking care of a few scientists was already a headache enough. If Zuo Qiuyan came, he would definitely have to take care of her as well, making things even more chaotic. Taking care of her isn't the problem; the problem is what if something happens to her…
“To be honest, this place isn't very safe right now, so…”
Zuo Qiuyan interrupted Shen Lang, saying, “Safety isn't the problem either; the problem is whether you want me to come. Or, Shen Lang, do you really hate me that much? If you say you hate me, I, Zuo Qiuyan, am not a woman who can't let go. I will definitely stay far away from you from now on and never bother you again. Our contract can be terminated. There's nothing that can't be discussed.”
Shen Lang felt a bitter taste in his mouth; it seemed Zuo Qiuyan was really angry. He said, “It's not that I don't want you to come, it's just…”
Shen Lang was interrupted again. “What kind of tone is that? It's like I'm begging and pleading to stick to you. I'd rather starve than eat charity. I have talent and beauty; why would I bother with an unemployed bum?”
Shen Lang said dizzily, “So, are you coming or not?”
Zuo Qiuyan: “If you beg me to come, I'll come; otherwise, we're breaking up!”
Shen Lang was dizzy. How could she be like this? She was practically forcing him to beg her to come.
Suddenly, Shen Lang gritted his teeth and hardened his heart. "Begging you to come and risk your life? Then you'd better not come.
" So, Shen Lang feigned a resolute tone and said, "You want me to beg you? Are you kidding me? No way! Whether you come or not is up to you. I'd rather not come at all!" "
Alas, Miss Zuo, I'm truly sorry, this place is absolutely a den of dragons and tigers right now. Once this crisis is over, I will definitely come to apologize in person!"
Hearing Shen Lang's resolute and rude words, Zuo Qiuyan was stunned, almost unable to believe her ears. She said, "Shen Lang, are you sure you're not joking?"
Shen Lang continued his act: "Why would I joke with you? Is there anything else? If not, I'm hanging up. I'm very busy, hundreds of millions per second!"
"Uh..."
Zuo Qiuyan was completely dumbfounded. Hundreds of millions per second—only when doing *that* kind of thing could one manage that?
Zuo Qiuyan was both ashamed and furious. This damned Shen Lang dared to treat her with such vulgar and shameless words! She couldn't help but roar, "Shen Lang, you bastard! I was blind to your true nature until today! You wait, I'm not finished with you, and I'll settle the score with you for my sister's sake!"
"Uh..."
Now it was Shen Lang's turn to be angry. How could women turn on him so easily? But then again, he hadn't been very kind. Any woman would be furious. "Hey, Miss Zuo, are you really sure you want to turn against me?"
"Of course! You've been ungrateful, so I'll be ungrateful too. I've been so good to you before, I've just treated you like a thankless wretch. You wait, if you don't come to apologize to me in person within three hours, I'll completely break off our relationship! I'm so angry!" "
Are you sure you're not joking?"
Shen Lang asked weakly.
How did things turn around so quickly? He remembered Zuo Qiuyan saying that just now.
Zuo Qiuyan went even further, essentially repeating Shen Lang's exact words: "Why would I joke with you? Is there anything else? If not, I'm hanging up. I'm very busy, hundreds of millions per second—Peruvian pesos!"
"I..."
Before Shen Lang could finish speaking, the other end beeped
.
Shen Lang was speechless. He still had something to say!
Shen Lang pondered whether Zuo Qiuyan's words were true or false.
He wasn't sure at all. Could things really turn from ambiguous to bitter enmity so quickly? Her words sounded like she was being coquettish, yet they also seemed genuinely angry.
He could only blame himself for not knowing this woman well enough. They had met a few times, but they had never had a deep conversation. He didn't understand her personality or inner thoughts enough, and her half-truthful, half-lie conversation left him completely bewildered.
Forget it, he'd worry about that for now; the current situation was already troublesome enough.
