150: Please call me Yu Ji

At this time:

It was not yet dawn.

Chu Qing told Cui Moyang and the others to return to the Martial Arts Academy to count his belongings.

Meanwhile, he, stepping on the moonlight, headed straight for the Shi Manor.

The Shi Manor was brightly lit.

Outside the gate, wind-proof lanterns swayed.

There were junior servants guarding the gate.

When they smelled a strong scent of blood, they shivered, becoming instantly alert.

"Who's there?"

"Prepare to sound the alarm!"

Immediately after, they saw a young man, dressed in red, emerge from the darkness.

The junior servants recognized Chu Qing at a glance.

"Master Qing!"

"Master Qing, why have you come?"

Chu Qing smiled and said, "I want to see Madam Shi!"

The junior servants quickly said, "Madam Shi said you can come anytime and find her in the backyard."

Chu Qing nodded and entered the Shi Manor directly.

After he left, a junior servant timidly asked, "Should we inform the Master?"

Smack!

Another junior servant slapped him and said, "Idiot, is the Master the sky of the Shi Manor?"

That junior servant dared not speak.

Another junior servant let out a long breath and said, "Didn't you notice?"

"Master Qing's red clothes are stained with blood."

The Crowd's expressions changed dramatically.

Blood-stained red clothes?

How much blood would that take?

Master Qing... where did he go to kill people?

The junior servant who suggested informing Chief Constable Shi suddenly waved his hand and furiously slapped his own face.

Then he knelt on the ground, pleading, "Big brothers, please don't tell Master Qing and Madam Shi."

"Tomorrow, I'll treat you all to a meal at Xian Yuan Lou!"

The junior servants beamed with joy.

At this time:

Chu Qing arrived at the backyard.

To his surprise:

Madam Shi was not sleeping in her room; instead, she was wearing a theatrical costume and sat upright in a hanging basket, cultivating.

The scent of blood permeated the air.

Madam Shi's eyes slightly opened.

Seeing it was Chu Qing, she said coldly, "Groom... stay away from me, you're filthy!"

Chu Qing smiled and said, "No matter how dirty I am, I'll tame you in a moment."

Madam Shi glared, disdainfully saying, "Dream on!"

Chu Qing pulled Madam Shi down from the hanging basket, then sat down grandly, saying, "Go, get water, and serve me for a bath."

Madam Shi trembled with anger, her beautiful eyes filled with cold killing intent.

She was high and mighty.

Outsiders always served her for bathing and changing clothes.

Yet now, Chu Qing wanted her to serve him?

Wasn't this an insult?

Chu Qing glared and reprimanded, "Hurry up, or I'll hit you."

Madam Shi took a deep breath, snorted coldly, and turned to leave.

Chu Qing... was quite expectant.

He also didn't know if Madam Shi would bring the water.

"Am I being a bit too much?"

He thought idly.

Not long after, crisp footsteps could be heard.

Under the moonlight:

Madam Shi came over, carrying a basin of clear water.

Splash!

Madam Shi forcefully splashed it on him.

The clear water dripped, soaking his brocade clothes.

Chu Qing was stunned.

Madam Shi sneered, "Groom, this is your punishment."

Rip!

Chu Qing suddenly tore off his brocade clothes, revealing his beautifully sculpted muscles, and said, "Again!"

Madam Shi's eyes widened, killing intent raging.

"Groom... you're going too far!"

Chu Qing felt an icy chill to the bone, as if he could be struck down at any moment.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Another basin."

Madam Shi's lips curled slightly upwards, saying, "One basin?"

Chu Qing nodded, gritting his teeth, "One basin!"

Madam Shi sneered and turned to leave.

Chu Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

One minute later:

Madam Shi came back with water.

She stood on her tiptoes and poured water over Chu Qing's head.

Splash!

The clear water flowed, carrying blood, down his chiseled muscles, and onto the ground.

Finally, there was a little water left.

Madam Shi hesitated, then actually washed Chu Qing's face.

Her cold small hand brushed his cheek, making all of Chu Qing's pores contract.

He felt as if that small hand could break open his head and pull out his brain at any moment.

Splash!

Splash!

The clear water ran out.

Whether intentionally or not.

Chu Qing noticed that Madam Shi's clothes were also soaked.

Clang!

The basin fell.

Madam Shi retreated, then suddenly jumped onto the stone table, and began to sing, humming a tune.

She first sang 'Young Man's Journey', then 'Young Girl Picking Lotus'.

Chu Qing swayed his head, listening intently.

One song after another.

Madam Shi was in high spirits.

At this time, dawn was approaching.

Outside, servants woke up and began their chores.

Chu Qing's heart stirred, and he rushed to the stone table in one stride, making a Move against Madam Shi.

He wanted to see the gap between himself and Madam Shi.

Although there was no killing intent in their exchange, their Moves were dangerous.

Chu Qing thought that he had improved significantly during this period and should be able to suppress Madam Shi.

The result was:

One minute... five minutes... the two were still evenly matched.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Chu Qing's blood was boiling.

He gritted his teeth and persevered.

He wanted to defeat Madam Jin.

The result was:

Madam Shi was much stronger than he had imagined.

Suddenly:

Madam Shi flashed behind him and, like an eagle catching a chick, grabbed him and rushed into a room.

As soon as they entered the room, they heard Feng Nü's voice saying, "Oh dear, where did this big cat come from? How did it mess up the flowerbed like this?"

"Quick, call the gardener to clean it up, or when Young Miss wakes up, we'll be in trouble."

Outside the room, the servants were busy.

Inside the room, Madam Shi was cold, she straightened her skirt and pointed to a cabinet nearby, saying:

"You choose a set of clothes."

"Then, go outside and have the maids get water for you to bathe."

"You — you stink!"

Chu Qing... half an hour later:

Chu Qing, under the astonished gazes of Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon's four maids, rinsed off the bloodstains, and then swaggered back to his room.

Madam Shi had already prepared a set of brocade clothes.

This was a Gold Robe.

It was embroidered with various exotic patterns, very luxurious.

When Chu Qing put it on, a strange light appeared in Madam Shi's cold eyes.

Ponytail!

Gold belt!

Wearing deerskin soft boots!

He moved his limbs; the size was just right.

Whoosh!

Madam Shi let out a turbid breath.

At this moment, she said seriously, "How many rebels did you kill last night?"

Chu Qing nodded, then shook his head, saying, "And people from two powerful Families."

Madam Shi frowned slightly and said, "Which powerful Families... how could they not even wait this short time?"

Chu Qing was puzzled.

Madam Shi said, "I will leave Shiji County at the end of the year."

"A few days ago, I told them: before I leave, they should behave and not cause trouble."

"But..."

Chu Qing understood.

Clearly, several powerful Families had broken their promise.

"Madam Shi, let's join forces and eliminate those powerful Families!"

Madam Shi said coolly, "You can call me Yu Ji!"

Chu Qing said awkwardly, "I have the ambition of Meng De, I still prefer to call you Madam Shi!"

Madam Shi... was initially bewildered.

She didn't know what the ambition of Meng De was.

But she quickly realized that the young man's preference was quite unique.

Fortunately... she also liked this kind of taboo pleasure.

Whoosh!

Madam Shi took a deep breath and said seriously:

"Destroying them is simple, but it's not necessary."

Chu Qing was quite disappointed.

The powerful Families had plotted against him, and he had wanted to use Madam Shi's hand to destroy them, to cut the grass and pull out the roots.

What a pity... However, the next second, Madam Shi said:

"Fighting and killing is not the best way to solve problems!"

"I will gather those powerful Families to discuss the matter."

"Let them compensate you with resources!"

Chu Qing's heart stirred, and he said, "The resources must be plentiful."

"If the resources are few, I'll destroy them."

"Let's get rich in one go."

Madam Shi rolled her eyes and said, "Understood."

"Here, this is my secret technique."

"Go back and study it, see if you can combine it with yours to cultivate dragon tendon."

"If you don't understand anything, feel free to ask me."

Chu Qing cupped his fists and drifted away.

Madam Shi pondered for a moment, then called Feng Nü and said, "Go and inform several powerful Families to each prepare two sets of Bone Forging Realm resources daily."

"Then send them to Chu Qing."

Feng Nü was stunned: "Young Miss, why force powerful Families to provide resources for Chu Qing, that Groom?"

"Two sets a day, it might be fine for a short period, but for a long time, they will definitely not agree."

Madam Shi gazed at the messy flowerbed outside the window, and said coldly, "If they don't agree, they can die!"

Feng Nü...
