64: Chapter 64 Finding a Woman for the High Monk
"No rush. The mere Shen Family is not worth The Monk getting his hands dirty with blood."
Chu Yuan directly rejected The Monk's idea of wiping out the Shen Family.
If he wanted to wipe out the Shen Family in a simple and brutal way, Chu Yuan could easily go there himself and eliminate them without anyone ever knowing.
Killing someone is just a matter of removing their head, but what Chu Yuan wanted was to take the Shen Family for his own use, not just simply kill them.
However, The Monk's words opened up another train of thought for Chu Yuan.
He had just sworn to Qi Xinyue that he would gift her husband, Shen Congwu, a green hat.
It seemed that The Monk would make a pretty good courier.
"Young Master, this humble monk has something to say, but I do not know if I should speak it."
The Monk's words interrupted Chu Yuan's deep thoughts.
"The Monk, if you have something to say, just speak your mind."
"Young Master, The Monk feels that your smile just now was very lecherous. Could it be that you have come up with some wicked ideas?"
Damn it!
Chu Yuan's face turned black.
This Young Master is painstakingly preparing a great gift for you, you thieving monk, and you actually dare to call me lecherous.
"Ahem..."
Chu Yuan coughed twice to clear his throat and said with a serious face: "Master Jiesha, you have traveled far and worked hard to come and join me. I naturally appreciate it and am preparing a generous gift for you."
"No, no. This humble monk felt a connection with you, Young Master, which is why I came to join you. How could I dare to accept a generous gift from you?"
Chu Yuan's lecherous smile gave The Monk a creepy feeling, and he quickly waved his hands to decline Chu Yuan's goodwill.
"This Young Master is not a stingy person. A welcome gift is essential. Master, lean in and listen."
Chu Yuan whispered a few words into The Monk's ear, explaining his plan.
"You... Young Master, I am afraid this is not appropriate. This humble monk is a man of the cloth and does not associate with women."
Hearing Chu Yuan's terrible idea, The Monk immediately felt troubled.
He now finally understood what kind of nonsense Chu Yuan was plotting with that lecherous smile of his.
He was a monk who followed the precepts of Buddhism; apart from occasionally conducting funeral rites for those who deserved to die, he never touched women.
"Who says a monk cannot take a wife? This Young Master is considering your lifelong happiness."
"This Young Master will send people to assist you. Just go to the capital and win the beauty over."
Before The Monk could refuse, Chu Yuan had already happily made the decision for him.
The Monk was summoned by the system, and his loyalty to Chu Yuan was unquestionable.
Although he was unwilling to break his vows, since Chu Yuan had made the decision, he could only helplessly agree.
"Speaking of which, this lecherous monk was just lecturing me, yet I am putting myself in his shoes to find him a wife. Returning evil with kindness like this doesn't seem to fit my status."
Chu Yuan muttered to himself, a playful smile appearing on his face.
With The Monk's ruthlessness combined with his own planning, accomplishing this matter would be relatively simple.
He was now quite looking forward to seeing how much benefit his plan would generate once it succeeded.
The plan he had The Monk execute was something Chu Yuan had come up with on the spur of the moment.
If that woman, Qi Xinyue, hadn't insisted on threatening him, Chu Yuan wouldn't have thought of teaching her a lesson while simultaneously implementing his plan to control the Shen Family.
If one wants to deal with Shen Wen and the Shen Family, Zhou Xiaodie is the key.
Since that guy Shen Wen likes being a simp so much, naturally, he should be allowed to simp until he has nothing left.
Speak of the devil, just as he thought of Zhou Xiaodie, Zuo Shishi called to say that Zhou Xiaodie was at the villa entrance and had something urgent to see him about.
Without needing to think much, Chu Yuan knew the reason why Zhou Xiaodie was in such a hurry to see him.
After comforting Nie Yuqing, Chu Yuan returned to his villa, where Zhou Xiaodie immediately knelt before him.
"What are you doing? Get up quickly."
Zhou Xiaodie's sudden kneeling left Chu Yuan dumbfounded.
Zhou Xiaodie did not get up but instead sobbed with tears streaming down her face: "Young Master Chu, there is something I want to beg you for."
"Whatever help you need, get up and tell me. Kneeling like this makes me feel a bit awkward."
"The people of the Shen Family are insane; they killed my entire family. I want to ask Young Master Chu to help me take revenge."
Zhou Xiaodie also knew that the request she was making of Chu Yuan was indeed a bit excessive.
She was just one of Chu Yuan's women, and theirs was merely a relationship of convenience. Why would Chu Yuan make an enemy of the powerful Shen Family for her sake?
The Shen Family killed her entire family. If this vengeance was not avenged, even if she, Zhou Xiaodie, were to die, she would have no face to face her parents.
But with her own strength, wanting to deal with the Shen Family was as difficult as ascending to heaven.
She had no choice but to seek help from Chu Yuan.
"Alright, it's just the small Shen Family. I promise to help you deal with them."
"Young Master Chu, you... are you really willing to help me?"
Zhou Xiaodie was still hesitant. Could Chu Yuan really offend the Shen Family for her sake?
"Is there any need for this Young Master to deceive you? Since I promised to help you deal with the Shen Family, I naturally will not go back on my word."
"Thank you, Young Master Chu."
Zhou Xiaodie was moved to tears; Chu Yuan was now her only support.
"No need to thank me. I will only devise the plans for you. If you want to wipe out the Shen Family, it depends on you."
"Depend on me? The Shen Family is so powerful, how... how can I deal with them?"
Zhou Xiaodie was confused.
She could deal with or even wipe out the Shen Family?
This was too unbelievable.
"Just do as I say, and I guarantee you will be able to take your revenge."
Chu Yuan did not say much more; everything would have to wait until his plan was truly implemented to see the results.
...
The Shen Family.
After the Shen Family's all-out medical treatment, combined with Shen Wen's cockroach-like constitution, his injuries had mostly healed in just a few days.
Unfortunately, his mood had not improved at all; on the contrary, he was even more depressed.
Aside from Zhou Xiaodie being involved with Chu Yuan behind his back, and even doing so right in front of him.
There was another important reason: his father, Shen Congwu, had killed Zhou Xiaodie's entire family, making him the son of Zhou Xiaodie's enemy.
The vengeance for the destruction of her family was irreconcilable.
Trying to win her back now was nothing more than a daydream.
Thinking that he would lose Zhou Xiaodie forever, Shen Wen sank into deep despair.
"Ding ding..."
A pleasant ringtone disrupted the gloomy Shen Wen.
He picked up his phone to look, and the three large characters on the caller ID made Shen Wen regain his vitality, completely coming back to life.
"Xiaodie, is... is that you?"
Shen Wen was filled with excitement, his speech stuttering slightly.
He had originally thought that after the Zhou Family was wiped out, he and Zhou Xiaodie would be sworn enemies, with no chance of ever contacting each other again.
Now, Zhou Xiaodie had actually taken the initiative to contact him.
The excitement deep in his heart was beyond words.
"Knowing that I am not gone, it must have disappointed you."
Zhou Xiaodie's mocking voice came through.
"Xiaodie, you have misunderstood me. My sincerity towards you can be witnessed by heaven and earth."
"For you, I can give up everything. Even if you want my life, I am willing." Shen Wen explained with all his might.
