Chapter 3, Bewitching Fragrance & Crimson Powder

The man in black glared at Qiu Difei and said fiercely, "Fool!"

According to rumors in the martial arts world, apart from his profound and unfathomable martial skills, the descriptors that most frequently appear in connection with Mu Qianshan are: cunning and suspicious, capricious in temperament, unrestrained and charming, ruthless and merciless, and unscrupulous, among others

Young Master Jun, elegantly picking up his food, leisurely said to Qiudi Fei: "Xiangxiang, just wait for your elder brother to finish eating before you leave. I think it won't make much difference if you stay a little longer"

Qiu Difei understood. It seems that this handsome older brother is using soft violence to prevent her from leaving

The man in black, when Mu Qianshan did not respond to others' questions, once again took the initiative to act as the spokesperson for the Lord of Tianque Palace. The man in black answered Qiu Difei on behalf of Mu Qianshan, saying: "He does not want to kill you; he is thinking about how to use you to kill me"

How could one not feel a chill down their spine when being stared at by a room full of green, eerie eyes with such indignation

Come back. In your meal, just like in the meals of the other women in this house, I have added a potion of enchantment, a potent aphrodisiac. If you were to lift your foot and leave, after the burning of a single incense stick, not to mention encountering a man, you would not even spare a boar.

She began to doubt whether she was a cow, sheep, horse, rabbit, or something else

Qiu Difei began to feel a bit uneasy; she could not ascertain what kind of person she had encountered today, what calculations were running through his mind, and why he was proving to be so difficult to deal with

A room full of charming young ladies, after Jun Ye's words fell, all angrily pulled at their white necks and glared at Qiu Difei

Qiu Difei walked over to Jun Ye'er and sat down confidently. When the dishes were served, Qiu Difei was taken aback.

Qiu Difei, with a mournful expression, picked up the chopsticks and began to serve herself some dishes. Even without meat, one must eat, for who could blame her for being hungry? If there were not enough than two taels of silver, then so be it; at least the vegetables, no matter how cheap, are still free.

Jun Ye'er smiled at Qiu Difei, his face more charming than peach blossoms by three points. However, Qiu Difei felt that while the smile was beautiful, it did not emanate from the depths of the soul, and looking at it made one want to stand on end.

Upon hearing this rumor, Qiu Difei gasped in surprise and turned to stare intently at the person who should be called Mu Qianshan, saying: "I only asked if you are Mu Qianshan. You neither confirmed nor denied it, so I cannot say whether I know or do not know if you are Mu Qianshan; the fact that you are Mu Qianshan was mentioned by that brother in black beside you. If there is a grievance, it has its source, and that brother in black has remembered your appearance. I generally do not remember people's faces, I swear! Big brother, can you let me go home, please!" Big brother, can you let me go home, please!

Qiu Difei slammed the table in anger

Qiu Difei blushed. However, she still bravely continued to ask: "Do you want to join me in a harmonious union?"

After listening to Qiu Difei's words, Jun Ye raised his eyebrows slightly. In that subtle movement, his entire face exuded an indescribable charm and elegance. Jun Ye, with a slight lift of his eyebrows, gently said to Qiu Difei: "You, girl, seem rather dull, yet you certainly know how to say pleasing words."

"What is red-hot powder?" Qiu Difei asked with a puzzled expression. After all, she had already become an involved party in this matter, so it was only right to clarify any uncertainties.

Qiu Difei was momentarily stunned with anger, unable to retort. She turned to the man in black and said unhappily: "Why do you love to talk so much! I can ask him this myself, there is no need for you to speak on my behalf!"

Qiu Difei took a couple of bites of her meal, then put down her chopsticks and said to Jun Ye, "Elder brother, um... I have finished eating, so... can we leave after we finish?"

"Xiangxiang, why do you look unhappy? Is it that you are unwilling to share a table with your elder brother?" For some reason, Jun Ye's caring inquiry sent a chill down Qiu Difei's spine.

Qiu Difei said: "Elder brother, um, actually, younger sister has some urgent matters to attend to, so how about I take my leave first?"

Comrade Mu Qianshan, who caused an uproar in the entire martial arts world and the imperial court, was unexpectedly caught by her.

Qiu Difei put on a naive and pure smile as she said to Jun Ye'er: "Elder brother, you have said the opposite. I am actually feeling melancholy that after this meal, I will no longer be able to dine at the same table with you, my celestial elder brother!"

Qiu Difei widened his eyes and asked Jun Ye'er: "Elder brother, is today the first or the fifteenth?"

Mu Qianshan suddenly spat out a mouthful of tea.

Qiu Difei reflected on his experiences and said to himself: Remember, do not casually eat other people's food in the future. Especially if it is free! There is no such thing as a free meal in this world! Look, how easy it is to finish and not let you leave

Qiu Difei wanted to ask again: So, are you a man or a woman? However, she did not ask.

After Qiu Difei listened to Mu Qianshan's words, she became so furious that her whole body began to tremble. She turned around and rushed towards Mu Qianshan, just about to shout, "How could you be so venomous, to actually poison someone!" when suddenly, the man in black, who particularly loved to act as a spokesperson for others, beat her to it and shouted at Mu Qianshan, "How could you be so venomous! To actually poison someone!"

Little girl, his martial arts are not as simple as whether one can or cannot. If his martial arts are said to be the second best in the world, then the person who is the best in the world would have to live in constant fear every day. Do you know who the person sitting next to you is?

Qiu Difei chuckled foolishly, trying to appear ignorant and casual as he asked, "Brother, why do you only offer free hospitality to female guests and not to male guests?"

Young Master Jun revealed a captivating smile and said: "Because women are fragrant and clean, while men are too smelly and dirty"

Young Master Jun smiled without speaking, leisurely enjoying his meal. The man in black answered for him again, saying: "The young lady has a good eye; the one sitting beside you is none other than Mu Qianshan!"

Young Master Jun raised his hand to pick up the chopsticks and grabbed a piece of green vegetable leaf... He brought the green vegetable leaf to his mouth and said: "Delicious, my brother only observes the first and fifteenth of the month, my brother has simply been particularly fond of vegetarian food lately. Eating vegetarian is good, it leads to a healthy life"

Mu Qianshan gazed at Qiu Difei with his captivating and enchanting eyes, unblinking. Under his gaze, Qiu Difei felt a cold sweat begin to trickle down his back.

Qiu Difei shook her head at the newcomer, opening her mouth in a dazed manner and saying: "He didn't tell me who he is; he only said that I should call him 'Big Brother.' However, I did hear our clan leader mention that the person with the highest martial arts skills in the current martial world is Mu Qianshan, the master of Tianque Palace." At this point, Qiu Difei slowly turned her utterly dazed face towards Jun Ye'er. The expression of foolishness on her face at this moment would surely lead her father to sever their father-daughter relationship without a second thought if he were to see it. Qiu Difei, staring foolishly at Jun Ye'er, continued, "You can't really be Mu Qianshan, can you!"

It is said that those who have seen his appearance have all been sent to meet the King of Hell

Mu Qianshan could hardly contain his laughter after hearing Qiu Difei's words; the man in black turned his head and shot Qiu Difei a glare, saying: "Fool! Who said I was speaking on your behalf! I am speaking for myself! Mu Qianshan, you are too malicious, actually sprinkling red powder on yourself!"

Qiu Difei felt a tremor in her heart and, in a state of confusion mixed with some fear, asked: "But... what a pity? Big brother, you don't... you don't want to kill me, do you?"

Qiu Difei could not help but sigh inwardly: "Alas! This person has a somewhat malicious intent, don't they? Are they not deliberately pushing me into a pit of resentment and jealousy among numerous young ladies?"

She is pretending to be foolish, not truly foolish. This man, more enchanting than peach blossoms, truly makes her feel that something is amiss

Qiu Difei wants to cry. By this calculation, she actually saved no less than two taels of silver on this meal. These cheap vegetable leaves are simply enough to cover such costs

Qiu Difei feels a bit regretful. In order to save less than two taels of worthless silver, not only did he come to eat a meal of grass leaves, but he also attracted the attention of a strange person

Qiu Difei is truly foolish this time. She does not know whether she has struck it rich or encountered great misfortune.

The table was filled with dishes, all a vibrant green, and there was not a trace of meat, not even a hint of any animal product floating in the vegetable soup.

In any case, all the terms that can be applied to the members of any villainous cult organization can also be used on this person

Young Master Jun was amused by Qiu Difei's question, laughing heartily. After the laughter, before Young Master Jun could answer whether he would or would not, a voice from the doorway had already rushed in to answer for him.

Young Master Jun smiled and said, "Xiangxiang, don’t be in such a hurry to leave. Look, all the girls in this room aren’t rushing to go, are they? Besides, Xiangxiang has eaten well, but Big Brother hasn’t had enough yet!"

After Qiu Difei finished speaking, she picked up her sword and intended to walk towards the door. However, just as she took a step, Mu Qianshan's venomous and sinister voice echoed behind her.

Mu Qianshan, after hearing Qiu Difei's words, put down his chopsticks and laughed heartily, tilting his head back. As the laughter gradually subsided, Mu Qianshan softly murmured to Qiu Difei, "Sister Xiangxiang, I didn't expect you to be so interesting. You can't escape. What a pity!"

Qiu Difei, with a face full of genuine and unpretentious confusion, asked Jun Ye'er: "Elder brother, do you know martial arts?" If not, then just walk away. I know a little bit, Qiu Difei thought to himself.

Qiu Difei pounded the table and said: "Master Mu, after all, you are the most formidable figure in the martial arts world. If you want me to help you kill someone, at least have some of this! There isn't even a hint of meat! No way! I'm going home!"

Mu Qianshan raised her head, elegantly sipping tea, and gently smiled at Qiudi Fei, saying: "Indeed, once applied, one cannot help but indulge in the intoxicating allure of a woman who has tasted the enchanting essence of the soul-stirring aphrodisiac."

Indeed. It is truly chilling

However, there are no rumors regarding his appearance, as no one has truly seen Mu Qianshan's face

Qiu Difei looked at the man who walked in through the door. He was slightly older than the handsome Jun Ye sitting beside her, and he also had a strikingly handsome face. However, compared to the charming and flirtatious features of Jun Ye, the entire countenance of the man in black appeared much more gloomy and fierce.
