In the cabin of the brig, Xu Lian instructed, "After you enter the cabin, remember to fasten the door latch. No matter what noise you hear in the corridor, do not open the door until tomorrow morning, because demons and monsters may board the ship at night."
Except for Jiang Yunyan and the head of the Pei family, Pei's mother, Wang Cuiyun, Caixia, Yu Qingning, Miao Yueyue, Chuntao, Aunt Fang and others were all taking a boat ride for the first time and did not know the rules, so he needed to explain it.
Although with his current strength, ordinary demons and monsters are no match for him, but the less trouble he can avoid, the better.
A girl from Lichunfang asked, "Manager Xu, should we put a cup of blood at the door?"
Only the night watchmen in Green Bamboo Town need blood, not all ghosts need blood... Xu Lian couldn't explain it this way, so he said, "No need to bleed. After going to Pingyang County, you don't need to bleed every night because there are no night watchmen in Pingyang County. However, the taboo that women can't go out during the day still exists."
This made the girls of Lichunfang extremely happy. They only needed to entertain customers and earn money every night without having to bleed themselves to damage their bodies. Wouldn't they be extremely happy
As for Wang Cuiyun, Caixia, Yu Qingning and Miao Yueyue, they had already gotten used to it. Xu Lian had the right to be exempt from blood loss, and they had not had their blood lost for a long time.
Not to mention Pei's mother. The Pei family also has the right to be exempt from blood. Even if she doesn't have the right to be exempt from blood, she doesn't have to do the bleeding herself. Are all those maids and servants just decorations
Jiang Yunyan didn't even need to mention it. If the night watchman dared to ask her for blood, she would definitely kill him...
"Okay, everyone, let's get into the cabin."
Xu Lian pulled Yu Qingning unnoticeably.
Yu Qingning was happy and understood what Xu Lian meant.
After everyone entered the cabin, Xu Lian pushed the doors one by one to make sure they were bolted. Then he took Yu Qingning's hand and walked into an empty cabin and closed the bolt.
The reason why Xu Lian chose Yu Qingning was mainly because Yu Qingning's favorability had reached 85/100. If he gave Yu Qingning some special treatment, it should be able to reach 90/100.
Jiang Yunyan’s score is 70/100, Miao Yueyue’s score is 75/100, and Chuntao’s score is 75/100. They are still some distance away from 90/100, but there is no need to rush. They can improve slowly after arriving in Pingyang County.
It's late at night.
I could faintly hear footsteps in the corridor.
Xu Lian glanced under the door and saw a pair of white feet walking by, with long wet hair trailing behind them. This startled him for a moment. It might be the female ghost he met last time.
Is this a coincidence
Or is it because this female ghost often takes boats, so it is easy to encounter her
No time to think...
No words were spoken that night.
The next day.
Xu Lian received a notification about his favorability.
Note: Yu Qingning's favorability towards you has increased from 85/100 to 90. You have gained an advancement point. You can choose one of the following: rank, skill, or item to increase the point.
Xu Lian immediately chose to add points to the rank.
After the rank points are added successfully, four limb grasses can be added to advance to the third level of Huajin period.
He took out four stalks of arthropoda, held them in his hands, and silently chanted to add the ingredients.
The raw materials were added successfully, and the advancement to the third level of Huajin period was completed.
As the four stalks of arthropod grass turned to ashes, the golden energy in his body grew stronger.
He brought back about 500 stalks of arthropoda from Taizhou Prefecture, and had all the raw materials for the entire Huajin period, which made it easy to advance.
"Squeak!" The sound of the door opening was heard.
Xu Lian saw a pair of white feet walking under the door, with long wet hair trailing behind them.
After a moment, a "splash" sound of someone diving was heard.
I saw a female ghost in red swimming towards the forest on the other side.
She swam to the other side, walking barefoot on the beach, her long hair dragging behind her. As if she noticed someone was peeping at her, she slowly turned her head, looked towards the window of Xu Lian's cabin, and gave a strange smile.
Xu Lian saw her face clearly, and she looked exactly like Yu Qingning...
"..." Xu Lian subconsciously glanced at Yu Qingning beside him, and his heart trembled. With his current cultivation level of the third level of the Hua Jin period, the young skills of this red-clothed female ghost were still effective on him. It can be seen that this red-clothed female ghost is unfathomable.
The female ghost in red walked into the forest covered with morning mist. The red figure gradually went farther and farther away until it disappeared.
Xu Lian got up, went to the deck, and fetched some water to wash up.
After washing up, I picked up some wood and started a fire.
He cooked a pot of broth with the dried meat he brought, and asked everyone to get up, wash up, and have breakfast.
This made everyone a little flattered.
Xu Lian doesn't have such a strong concept of hierarchy. The head of the Pei family and his mother are his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Wang Cuiyun is his mother-in-law, and to some extent, Aunt Fang from Lichunfang is also his mother-in-law... What's wrong with him making breakfast to show his filial piety to his elders
Everyone washed up and finished their breakfast.
Seeing that the sun was about to rise, everyone returned to the cabin. It was not appropriate for so many women to be on the deck during the day as they could easily be contaminated by evil spirits.
Everyone went to bed early last night and were in good spirits. They were not sleepy during the day, but it was impossible to rest all the time. Since they had nothing to do anyway, they had a simple gathering in the cabin hall.
Aunt Fang smiled and asked Chuntao to dance. After learning dance for so long, it was time to test her skills in public.
Chuntao was still a little embarrassed, and with a red face, she danced for everyone.
After the dance, Xu Lian said "good" and gave her applause to encourage her. Everyone also laughed and clapped.
This made Chuntao very happy, with tears in her eyes, as if she had been recognized.
"My dear son-in-law, how about I show you my skills?"
Patriarch Pei said with a smile.
Xu Lian was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that his father-in-law was so "fashionable" and could dance. He could only smile and stretch out his hand to make a gesture of invitation, "Father-in-law, please. We will wait and see."
The head of the Pei family pulled the slightly blushing mother of the Pei family into the venue and danced a duet.
It was a really good dance, winning applause from the whole audience.
After the jump.
Patriarch Pei said with some regret, "This is when I first became the Patriarch of the Pei Family. I was full of energy and took the Patriarch's boat pass to go to Pingyang County. I learned this in a brothel in the county. I wanted to make friends with the young masters of the county families and get into the circle of the county families. Unfortunately, I never had the opportunity to meet the people of the county families."
Xu Lian said, "This time when we go to the county town, my father-in-law can stay there for a long time, and there will always be a chance for him to make friends with the family members in the county town."
There was one thing Xu Lian didn't say. In fact, the Pei family now did not need to make friends with any family. As long as he was there, the Pei family would be a wealthy family in Pingyang County.
Xu Lian looked at Jiang Yunyan, "Sister, don't you want to show me your dance?"
Jiang Yunyan glared at him, but still walked into the arena with grace and started dancing a dance from the primitive hunting era. This made everyone stare in amazement, but it also boosted the atmosphere. Even a young lady from a noble family like this let herself go, so what else could stop others from letting go
Next, Aunt Fang also came in. In her own words, she was also a beauty in Green Bamboo Town when she was young, otherwise, she would not have been able to become the madam and owner of Lichunfang.
Then, there was the group dance performed by the beauties of Lichunfang. The smell of rouge and powder was definitely flying around, which made Caixia, Yu Qingning and Miao Yueyue cough continuously. They couldn't get used to the smell.
Finally, Xu Lian came in person and started dancing "Disco", which ignited the atmosphere and pushed it to its peak. Since there was no speakers, they used clapping as the beat.
At his beckoning, everyone entered the venue and started dancing...
In fact, Xu Lian had never been to a disco, and he didn't know how to go. However, even if you haven't eaten pork, you have seen pigs run. There is no standard movement for disco, and the best thing is to have fun.
However, what Xu Lian didn't know was that... after disco was learned by the head of the Pei family and brought into Pingyang County, it caused various brothels in Pingyang County to imitate it and use it to attract customers, which set off a disco craze in Pingyang County... Of course, this is a later story.
Everyone was laughing and playing and danced until noon. After lunch, they took a break and then continued dancing as if they were tireless and had a great time.
Come to think of it, most of them were born in poverty. Not only did they worry about food every day, they also had to bleed to deal with the night watchmen. Their lives were too hard and too depressing. Even the legitimate daughter of a big clan like Jiang Yunyan lived in an environment of intrigue and had never been able to relax like this, leaving all her worries behind.
