Oh no! My grandmother made me shoulder the responsibility for eight households!

Chapter 251 Self-reliance leads to abundance

South of the city, in Wutong Lane, the third house.

The courtyard wasn't large, but it was kept quite nicely.

At this moment, the main room was brightly lit.

Mei Jiu Niang leaned against the soft couch, wearing only a thin veil, which was practically nothing at all.

Four young men stood in front of her, each one handsome and well-built, enough to charm countless young girls.

But now, the four of them were as white as paper, and their legs were trembling.

"Come here," Mei Jiu Niang said lazily, her voice so sweet it could melt your heart.

The four people exchanged a glance, and none of them dared to move.

Mei Jiu Niang raised an eyebrow: "What, do I have to treat you all?"

The four people quickly moved forward and walked to the soft couch.

Mei Jiu Niang stretched out her foot and lifted the chin of the person in front.

The man's eyes were unfocused, his body was weak, and he could barely stand.

It's obvious that she's been sexually exploited more than once or twice; her constitution is almost completely depleted.

Mei Jiu Niang stared at him for a couple of seconds, then suddenly let go of his leg and waved her hand dismissively.

"This is boring, all of you can leave. I get annoyed just looking at you."

The four men felt as if they had been granted a pardon and quickly retreated, afraid of being called back if they were even a step too slow.

Mei Jiu Niang leaned against the soft couch, her eyes closed, her fingers tapping idly on the edge of the couch.

After a while, she suddenly opened her eyes.

"Someone come here."

A maid appeared silently in the room. "Sect Master."

Mei Jiu Niang said calmly, "Those four, cripple them, get rid of them."

The maid was taken aback: "Sect Master, they are the ones you have been training for many years..."

"I know," Mei Jiu Niang interrupted her, her tone nonchalant.

"It's only been used for less than a year, and it's already like this. What's the point of keeping it? Just to eat for free? Or to waste air?"

The maid bowed her head: "Yes."

She turned to leave.

"Wait a minute," Mei Jiu Niang called out to her.

The maid turned around.

Mei Jiu Niang thought for a moment and said:

"Handle it cleanly, so that no one can find any fault with it."

"Yes."

The maidservant withdrew.

The room fell silent again.

Mei Jiu Niang leaned back on the soft couch, playing with the ends of her hair with her fingers, her eyes fixed on the roof beam.

"Lin Chen, oh Lin Chen..."

She murmured to herself, a slow smile playing on her lips.

"Don't let me down."

She turned over, buried her face in the soft pillow, and suddenly burst out laughing:

"This batch of male concubines is really no good; we'll have to choose carefully next time."

They're all like paper dolls, ruined after just two picks. I wasn't even done with my fun, and they're already weak! What kind of trash are they?!

She looked up and said to the air:

"Tell me, why are men these days so fragile?"

It looks presentable on the outside, but it's all chaff inside; all show and no substance, it'll break at the slightest touch.

No one answered her, so she spoke up herself.

"Fine, I'll have to do it myself. Relying on men? Hah."

The moonlight streamed in through the window and shone on her face.

Mei Jiu Niang squinted her eyes, like a lazy cat.

But that cat had hooked claws, and they were poisoned.

……

Early the next morning.

Sunlight streamed in through the window, and Liu Shengxue opened her eyes to find herself alone.

She sat up, rubbed her eyes, and her hair was disheveled and hanging over her shoulders.

There was a piece of paper on the bedside table.

She picked it up and opened it.

The above is just one sentence:

"You worked hard last night, get some rest. If you're bored, go out and have some fun, don't stay cooped up for too long. —Chen"

Liu Shengxue stared at the note for a long time, stunned.

Then she sighed softly, folded the note, and put it under her pillow.

……

Meanwhile, in the study.

Lin Chen sat in a chair, with Yuan Tiangang standing in front of him.

Yuan Tiangang's expression was a bit strange, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Seeing his expression, Lin Chen said directly, "Just say what you have to say. Why hold it in?"

"My lord, we just received news." Yuan Tiangang lowered his voice.

"Last night, Mei Jiu Niang... killed four furnace cauldrons."

Lin Chen was stunned for a moment:

"Killed?"

"Yes." Yuan Tiangang nodded.

"Those four people were brought by her from the Hehuan Sect. It is said that they were all furnaces she had cultivated for many years."

Last night, everything was ruined overnight. It was cleaned up so thoroughly, not a single trace was left.

Lin Chen remained silent for a while.

He recalled the smile Mei Jiu Niang gave him when she left last night.

And then there was that line she said: "Aren't you afraid I'll cripple your thousand Snow Dragon Riders?"

It turns out I wasn't just trying to scare him.

This woman is really capable of doing things.

"There's one more thing," Yuan Tiangang continued.

"explain."

"This morning, a young woman entered Mei Jiu Niang's courtyard and hasn't come out since."

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow:

"A young woman?"

"Yes." Yuan Tiangang nodded.

"I had Jing Ke keep an eye on her. That woman's cultivation level is not low; she is at the early stage of the Celestial Realm. Moreover... her aura is very pure, unlike someone from the Joyful Union Sect."

Jing Ke said, "She looks like a pure white lotus flower, the complete opposite of Mei Jiu Niang."

Lin Chen seemed to be deep in thought.

Mei Jiu Niang's actions are a bit baffling.

After killing four furnace cauldrons, a young woman appeared...

He shook his head, too lazy to think about it anymore.

"Keep an eye on it, and report any movement immediately."

"Yes."

After Yuan Tiangang left, Lin Chen leaned back in his chair, tapping his fingers on the armrest.

What exactly does this woman want?

……

South of the city, in Wutong Lane, inside the main house.

Mei Jiu Niang sat in front of the dressing table, slowly combing her hair.

Her long, jet-black hair cascaded down like a waterfall.

A young woman was standing behind her.

She looked to be in her early twenties, dressed in a plain white dress, her hair simply tied up, and without any makeup.

She has a beautiful face and a pure temperament.

Standing there, she resembled a white lotus just emerging from the water.

They are from completely different worlds than Mei Jiu Niang.

"Yao Yao," Mei Jiu Niang said.

"Master."

The woman stepped forward, bowed her head, and replied in a clear, cool voice, like a mountain spring.

Mei Jiu Niang turned around and looked at her.

He carefully examined the area from top to bottom and from front to back.

"Not bad." She nodded. "After mastering the divine skill, your temperament has become even purer."

Even I almost thought you were the legitimate daughter of some noble family, and that you'd come to the wrong place.

The woman kept her head down and didn't say anything.

Mei Jiu Niang stood up, walked to her, and reached out to lift her chin:

"Look at your teacher."

The woman looked up.

Those eyes were crystal clear, without a trace of impurity, as clean as a newborn baby's.

Mei Jiu Niang looked into those eyes and suddenly smiled:

"well."

She released her grip, turned around, walked back to the soft couch, and sat down.

"Yao Yao, I have a task for you."

The woman lowered her head: "Please give your instructions, Master."

Mei Jiuniang leaned back on the soft couch and said slowly:

"I met that Prince Zhenbei, Lin Chen, last night."

The woman listened quietly, without even blinking.

Mei Jiu Niang didn't mind at all and continued:

"This person is very interesting. Although his cultivation level is only at the peak of the Celestial Realm, his blood and qi are no less than those of a terrestrial immortal. The key is that his willpower is excellent."

I used seventy percent of my power in 'Meeting Under the Moon,' and he regained consciousness in just one breath.

The woman slightly raised her eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in them.

Mei Jiu Niang looked at her:

"What? You find it unbelievable?"

The woman said softly, "Master's 'Meeting Under the Moon' is something even a peak terrestrial immortal would find difficult to withstand."

"That's right," Mei Jiuniang said with a smile.

"So he's really interesting. In all my years, this is the first time I've met a man like him. He's not faking it; he can really handle it."

Mei Jiu Niang paused for a moment, then continued:

"I want to cooperate with him, but as you know, our Hehuan Sect has a bad reputation, and he doesn't trust me."

The woman did not speak.

Mei Jiu Niang looked at her,

"Therefore, your teacher wants you to go to his side."
