Chapter 5: Serendipity

After speaking, the shopkeeper and Ma Wu arrived in the courtyard, while Lady Jia and Jia Cui'er also came out to see them off

Ma Wu, filled with grief and indignation, pointed at the lewd man on the ground and said: "Look at you, you are also a normal person, yet you dare to harass this young lady. You must not be deceived by appearances; you need to recognize the essence of things. Only then can you make progress"

At that moment, Jia Cui'er accidentally slipped and fell into Ma Wu's arms. Ma Wu only sensed a faint fragrance in his embrace, and two soft objects pressed against him. Ma Wu was not very knowledgeable about matters between men and women, so he reached out to touch them and muttered to himself: "Soft. They seem to be larger than buns"

Listening to Jia Cui'er, Ma Wulian thought of her appearance. He couldn't help but sigh; it seemed that the guy was enchanted by Jia Cui'er's figure, otherwise he wouldn't be a normal person. Do normal people tease ugly women?

Ma Wu saw the shopkeeper and happily ran towards him, while also feeling puzzled about what he had just touched.

One day, the shopkeeper suddenly called for Ma Wu, stating that he wanted to return to his family.

At this moment, Jia Cui'er was wearing a veil that obscured her features, but her striking figure immediately made Ma Wu recognize her, especially her hips. A repulsive, lecherous man was groping Jia Cui'er.

After Ma Wu and the shopkeeper arrived at Lady Jia's residence, the shopkeeper recounted everything that had transpired in the village and the library to her. Lady Jia was also outraged by the actions of that group.

Seeing Ma Wu's expression, Lady Jia thought that he was heartbroken over not seeing Jia Cui'er. Little did she know that Ma Wu was actually afraid to meet her, which was why he displayed such an expression. Upon arriving here, the shopkeeper had informed him about various matters concerning men and women. It was then that he realized how terrifying his actions towards a woman were. If Jia Cui'er were to simply give up and marry him, how dreadful that would be.

The lecherous man then fainted.

The lecherous man gazed at everything before him, as if forgetting everything else. Looking at that face, he recalled the hand that had touched her, and suddenly exclaimed: "What a reckless hand. This wretched hand."

During the few days spent at Lady Jia's residence, Ma Wu did not see Jia Cui'er at all, and gradually began to set aside the matter of frivolity.

While everyone was waiting, the shopkeeper gave Ma Wu a token inscribed with the character "Xuan." He informed Ma Wu that he could use this token to seek assistance from the Xuan Yin Sect in the future.

Ma Wu gazed at the transformation before him, marveling at the extraordinary charm of Jia Cui'er

Thus, misunderstandings arose regarding what transpired between Ma Wu and Jia Cui'er. Madam Jia increasingly found Ma Wu to her liking. However, Ma Wu and Jia Cui'er were unaware that their future significant life events were being determined through discussions between the shopkeeper and Madam Jia.

The shopkeeper saw and - picture - book here, cough cough cough ... . ... a moment.

Ma Wu did not show any weakness, his fists tightly clenched. As they approached, he dealt with each of them with a punch, swiftly and decisively eliminating the two.

The shopkeeper and Ma Wuben were originally together. As they walked, they realized that Ma Wuben was missing and hurriedly began to search for him. Just then, they spotted Ma Wuben, and as they approached, they saw a woman rushing into his embrace. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Jia Cui'er.

After the shopkeeper chatted with Madam Jia for a while, Madam Jia looked at Ma Wu and said, "I don't know what is wrong with Cui'er today; she has been hiding alone in her room and won't come out no matter how much we call her."

Ma Wu stared blankly at the place where the shopkeeper had disappeared, murmuring, "When will we be able to meet again"

Listening to Ma Wu's words, everyone felt that this was not merely a lesson for others, but rather an education for them.

At the moment when Jia Cui'er's towel slipped, her already angry heart burned with even greater fury. Her face twisted further, adding to her allure.

You little rascal, where do you come from? Dare to ruin my good deeds

Jia Cui'er was filled with a desire to die, gritting her teeth as she glared at Ma Wu and shouted, "Go to hell." She suddenly lunged at Ma Wu.

The shopkeeper smiled and looked at Ma Wu without saying a word, then turned to Jia Cui'er and said: "You may continue."

"Madam Jia, after I return to the Wang family, if I encounter Brother Jia in that area, I will have him come back to visit you all." After the shopkeeper finished speaking, a figure appeared in the sky, its form indistinct. It smiled at the shopkeeper, who then vanished along with that person

The shopkeeper laughed heartily. Looking at Ma Wu, he said: "It is precisely for this reason that men are more fond of women. What you have done today has truly exceeded my expectations." The shopkeeper then patted Ma Wu on the head and added: "The younger generation is indeed formidable."

Ma Wu ran to the front, took a glance, and it was indeed Jia Cui'er.

Ma Wu let out a loud shout and charged through the crowd, heading towards the lewd man

Jia Cui'er felt a sudden sense of reliance upon seeing Ma Wu rushing towards her. She hurriedly shouted to Ma Wu, "Brother Ma Wu, please save me. Do not let this scoundrel take advantage of me."

Ma Wu promptly intervened to stop the actions of that lewd man, placing Jia Cui'er behind him.

When the crowd heard the lewd man's words, they all exclaimed in unison: "What a disgraceful gaze, such a contemptible look." Their feelings of indignation surged like the floodwaters of the Yellow River, uncontrollable, as they covered their eyes and hurriedly fled.

It was said to be late, yet it was quick. As Jia Cui'er cried for help, her buttocks were once again touched by that lewd man. That lewd man even brought his hand to his nose and sniffed, saying: "Fragrant, indeed fragrant. When the master lifts the veil, let me savor it. Wahahaha ... ... "

Just as everyone found Ma Wu's actions unbelievable, he suddenly turned around and removed the veil of Jia Cui'er from hetushu.com, revealing an extraordinarily ugly face before the crowd

"Actually, you don't need me to save you; you can completely save yourself. All you need to do is take off the veil," Ma Wu said to Jia Cui'er. "Is it because you see my brilliance and valor that you've decided to fall in love with me?"

Jia Cui'er felt a hand touch her soft chest, and her face beneath the skin flushed with embarrassment. She also thought that Ma Wu's body was quite sturdy.

Ma Wu suddenly felt that he would be alone in the future, and his heart felt empty. The shopkeeper comforted him, saying: "I will definitely come back to see you. You must take good care of yourself"

After the lewd man finished speaking, the two attendants beside him approached Ma Wu with fierce expressions, one cracking his knuckles and the other twisting his neck, both producing the sound of cracking bones

The shopkeeper still speaks with Madam Jia every day, though it is unclear what they discuss

Observing Ma Wu's demeanor, the shopkeeper quietly relayed to Lady Jia what he had witnessed that day. Upon hearing this, Lady Jia was profoundly shocked; she was well aware of her own daughter. How could she possibly engage in such behavior with that Ma Wu on the street? Could it truly be that her daughter had been taken by this seemingly foolish Ma Wu?

The onlookers nearby saw the two individuals, who usually accompanied their master in committing evil deeds in the town, being knocked to the ground, and they applauded in approval, truly a great relief to the heart

Hearing the sound, Ma Wu and Jia Cui'er both turned their heads to look. Jia Cui'er saw the shopkeeper suddenly push open the door and *book* Ma Wu, standing aside and wiping a corner with his hand

Ma Wu, in fact, my name is Wang Jiantian, and I am a member of the Wang family. More than a decade ago, I was sent by my family to search for a certain item. Now, having failed to find it, my family insists that I return promptly. They say I have delayed my cultivation and need to properly nurture my mid-level Earth-grade primordial spirit. I cannot elaborate further. Today, I must leave

Ma Wu looked at the departing Jia Cui'er and asked the shopkeeper, "Why is this woman so unreasonable?"

The crowd was in an uproar, all understanding why Ma Wu had just said that. If it were themselves, not only would they have said the same, but they would also have kicked that lecherous man. They wanted to tell this disgraceful fellow that even such scum is being harassed, which truly brings shame to you young aristocrats.

After Jia Cui'er saw Ma Wu knock down the two servants, she felt that this guy was quite reassuring. ... Then she heard Ma Wu's reprimand, um ... . ... After his words of admonition, she suddenly realized that this was a satire directed at herself. A blatant satire. In an instant, anger welled up in her heart.

Upon witnessing Ma Wu's valor, the lecherous man, who had never encountered such a situation before, was instantly paralyzed with fear, his legs turning to jelly as he collapsed to the ground, exclaiming, "Hero, spare my life!" Following his cry, the laughter of the crowd echoed around him

Jia Cui'er finally reacted, and her anger flared up. She had never been humiliated like this in her life. Coupled with the shopkeeper's words, her anger surged, and she fiercely kicked Ma Wu before hurriedly leaving.
