Chapter 59: Yu Longsheng, the Lustful and Impatient
Chapter 59: Yu Longsheng, the Lustful and Impatient
"The Golden Ring is merciless, the Flying Dagger is passionate, the Iron Sword loves fame, and the Jade Xiao is lustful."
Though this famous saying was popularized by a character in Eagle Soaring in September, it was already quietly spreading at this time.
The Jade Xiao from the East China Sea was known for his exquisite and luxurious taste.
When he traveled, he not only made a grand entrance but also brought along seven or eight female disciples. Wherever he went, he stayed in the most luxurious accommodations, wore the most comfortable clothes, and dined on the most exquisite cuisine.
However, such behavior undoubtedly incurred significant expenses.
Where did the Taoist Jade Xiao get his money? Was he secretly involved in smuggling or some other shady business? Had he already joined the Demon Sect? Was he Ban Chabana, the Lustful Heaven King of the Demon Sect? Had he already mastered the Demon Sect's mind control techniques?
Yu Longsheng stroked his chin, pondering the true purpose behind the Taoist Jade Xiao's invitation while occasionally observing his host's eyes and expressions.
Despite their wariness, Ding Chengfeng and Ding Baiyun weren't overly vigilant.
After all, although the Taoist Jade Xiao was not considered a reputable sect, he wasn't exactly a cultist either. While he was lustful, these female disciples weren't forced upon him, and there were no rumors of him forcing himself on women. After all, it was well known that the Taoist Jade Xiao only took in women who had never been with a man.
So, overall, the Taoist Jade Xiao was still considered a person of credibility in the martial arts world at this time.
However, Yu Longsheng had the eyes to see into the future, and he knew just how despicable the Taoist Jade Xiao would become in twenty years.
Those female disciples were bought by him, yet he didn't treat them well. He even forced Cui Yuzhen to seduce Ye Kai.
As a senior in the martial arts world, he had his eyes on Officer Jin Hong's inheritance. He plotted, kidnapped, conspired to kill Ye Kai, and even wanted to force himself on Ding Linglin. In the end, he tried to make Guo Ding the fall guy, showing no regard for his reputation.
Therefore, the current Taoist Jade Xiao might just be a facade, and when the temptation was great enough, he would shed this disguise.
Yu Longsheng didn't know if the three of them were tempting enough for the Taoist Jade Xiao.
So, he decided to pretend and test the waters at the same time. Either way, he wouldn't lose out.
"Senior," Yu Longsheng raised his cup and toasted the Taoist Jade Xiao, "Thank you for your hospitality. I couldn't have tasted such exquisite dishes or drunk such fine wine in Shanxi."
The Taoist Jade Xiao smiled gently and replied, "You flatter me, Lord Yu. The Fenjiu wine of Shanxi is famous throughout the land, far more fragrant and mellow than this humble drink I have here."
"If Senior ever docks in the north again, please let me know. I will surely ride my fastest horse to bring you a few jars of Fenjiu wine." Yu Longsheng smiled.
"Hahaha, yes, yes, yes!" The Taoist Jade Xiao laughed along.
Listening to Yu Longsheng flattering the Taoist Jade Xiao, Ding Chengfeng remained silent with a smile, while Ding Baiyun felt indignant, glaring at Yu Longsheng as if disappointed by his lack of spine.
You have decent martial arts skills, yet instead of being proud and ambitious like most young people, you're fawning all over him.
"By the way, Senior," Yu Longsheng deliberately leaned closer to the Taoist Jade Xiao, "There's something I've always wanted to ask you, but I never found the right moment."
The Taoist Jade Xiao raised an eyebrow, "Oh?"
Yu Longsheng licked his lips, "Senior, you have such beautiful female disciples, and you manage to keep them all satisfied. You yourself look vigorous and full of vitality. May I ask if you possess some secret technique or formula?
If it's a secret technique, I wouldn't dare to ask for it, but if it's a formula... well, hehe..."
Ding Chengfeng was stunned, and Ding Baiyun was even more dumbfounded, as if they didn't recognize the person Yu Longsheng had become.
The Taoist Jade Xiao was also taken aback. While he had been asked about such matters before, it was the first time someone like Yu Longsheng, whom he had just met, had directly inquired about his personal life so boldly.
"Bedroom secrets are indeed a branch of the Taoist arts," Yu Sheng said with a smile.
Yu Longsheng's eyes lit up, but his breath hitched again as he cupped his hands respectfully, "I understand now, since it is your sect's secret art, I dare not..."
"But it's not really a secret technique," Yu Sheng laughed, "It just requires the assistance of medication and women during cultivation, which can be quite troublesome. If you're interested, Yu Zhuangzhu, I won't hesitate to share it."
Yu Longsheng's eyes sparkled, and he quickly thanked him with cupped hands, "Thank you, Senior! If you ever need anything in the future, just send a message to the Sword-Hiding Manor!"
"It's a small matter, you're too kind, Yu Zhuangzhu," Yu Sheng smiled, "Tonight, I'll have Yu Qing teach you. They've all received my true teachings."
Yu Longsheng's eyes flashed, and as he paled, he waved his hands in refusal, "No, no, I dare not... when it comes to your disciples, I wouldn't dare..."
Yu Sheng patted Yu Longsheng's shoulder, "It's just teaching you bedroom techniques, what are you afraid of?"
Yu Longsheng nodded, looking relieved yet strangely disappointed.
Yu Sheng saw the emotions flit across Yu Longsheng's face and a hint of contempt flashed in his eyes, but he smiled gently and raised his cup to the three of them once more, "Please, everyone!"
Ding Chengfeng sipped his drink thoughtfully, and Ding Baiyun's anger faded, replaced by wariness.
Although Ding Baiyun was proud and aloof, she wasn't foolish. While Yu Longsheng could be a bit verbose and shameless, his lack of regard for his image didn't make him spineless or overly lustful. He wouldn't normally be so expressive about his emotions.
There had to be a reason for his behavior.
And the biggest reason was, of course, the Jade Xiao in front of them.
There was something odd about this Taoist! Yu Longsheng was trying to warn them!
Ding Chengfeng and Ding Baiyun immediately heightened their alertness. If they hadn't already eaten, they might not have dared to touch their chopsticks at this point.
Fortunately, Jade Xiao hadn't tampered with their food or drinks.
Both Ding Chengfeng and Ding Baiyun were good actors, or perhaps it was their natural demeanor—Ding Chengfeng's polite and restrained, and Ding Baiyun's cold and distant—that made their performance effortless.
...
After the satisfying meal, the group naturally retired to their rooms on Jade Xiao's grand ship.
A female disciple with cunning eyes led them to the guest cabins at the back of the ship and assigned them three adjacent rooms.
Yu Longsheng took the outermost room, Ding Chengfeng the middle one, and Ding Baiyun the innermost.
"Please make yourselves at home. I'll send you off in the morning," the female disciple said, giving Yu Longsheng a coquettish glance before swaying her hips and leaving gracefully.
"You..."
Ding Baiyun had barely uttered a syllable when Yu Longsheng raised a finger to his lips and pulled her into Ding Chengfeng's room.
The room was filled with the fragrant smoke of incense. Ding Chengfeng sniffed and nodded, his voice barely above a whisper, "It's just ordinary calming incense."
Yu Longsheng walked around the room but found no secret compartments or mechanisms on the bed.
"Have you noticed anything strange? Is there something off about Jade Xiao?" Ding Baiyun couldn't help but ask in a hushed tone.
Yu Longsheng shook his head and walked over to the incense burner, lifting the lid. His eyes lit up immediately.
"This man indeed has ill intentions!"
