Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 1783: Chapter 1783: Storm Over the Manor (20)

After Chuzheng refused to change courtyards, Liu Quchen personally came over and told her to let the servants in the manor know if she needed anything.

Of course, Liu Quchen wasn’t specifically there to see her; he visited everyone staying there.

Such an attitude made these Martial Arts World People feel respected, and they showed great reverence to Liu Quchen.

In the first few days, everyone was free to interact, with no restrictions, and they could move around the manor.

Chuzheng didn’t go out much; she placed a chair in the courtyard and lay on it to sunbathe.

Suddenly, something darkened her view, and she slightly opened her eyes.

A young man clad in a fiery cloak stood beside her, his brows lowered, quietly watching her.

”Awake?”

Man Yue didn’t answer, just stared at her.

Chuzheng: ”...”

What do you mean?

If you don’t speak, how will I know!?

”What do you want to do?” Chuzheng suppressed her impatience, ”Just tell me what you want to do.”

Man Yue suddenly moved, squeezing into Chuzheng’s chair, curling up his body and embracing her tightly.

Chuzheng: ”???”

This chair is so narrow, and you’re still fighting with me for space!!

”Do you want to sunbathe here?” Chuzheng asked him.

”Yes.”

”Then I’ll let you.” Saying this, Chuzheng was about to get up, but what could she do, the Good Person Card had to be pampered even if it required kneeling...but that was impossible.

Man Yue held onto her, clearly indicating she was not to leave,

Chuzheng: ”???”

What does this mean?

Chuzheng glanced at the person in her arms and finally had to adjust her body so the young man could lie more comfortably.

When Xi Nan walked in, this was the scene he saw.

The young man wrapped in fiery flames leaned against the girl, the crimson cloak covering them both.

Xi Nan’s expression stiffened for a moment before he calmly walked over.

”Tower Master, I’ve heard Jinhua Saint is here.”

”Who?”

”The number one Holy Hand in the world, capable of reviving the dead and flesh to bone.” He had found out with great effort.

Chuzheng: ”...”

Chuzheng rummaged through the memories of the original owner and vaguely recalled hearing about it.

”Young Master Man Yue...could let Jinhua Saint have a look, maybe there’s a better method.” After all, since the Tower Master cared so much about this person, they, as subordinates, naturally had to share the burden.

Chuzheng: ”Since he’s the number one Holy Hand, is he that easy to ask for help?”

”...Not really.”

But shouldn’t they at least try? What if Jinhua Saint is in a good mood, or feels whimsical?

After all, for healers like them, the more challenging the ailment, the greater the challenge, right?

Chuzheng looked at the young man who was already asleep, her gaze slightly darkening.

-

Jinhua Saint was staying in a southern courtyard, located diagonally opposite from Chuzheng’s position in the north.

Chuzheng leisurely made her way over there.

”Landlord Fong!”

In the long corridor, a dashing gentleman in a green robe blocked Chuzheng’s path.

”I wonder if I have the pleasure of inviting Landlord Fong for a drink?”

After speaking, the green-robed gentleman didn’t forget to throw a flirtatious glance at Chuzheng.

The intention was unmistakably clear.

Chuzheng had been seen in the entrance by many before, whether it was due to her looks or other motives, there would always be someone trying to engage her.

”No.” Chuzheng coldly refused.

”Miss Fong is quite unlike your father.” The green-robed gentleman said with a smile.

Feng Hanyuan would approach any beauty upon seeing them, while Chuzheng didn’t care to interact even if others approached her.

Chuzheng’s gaze finally fell on the green-robed gentleman, straightforwardly advising, ”If you like him, you can go find him.”

The green-robed gentleman: ”...”

Chuzheng stepped past the green-robed gentleman and left, leaving him in a daze in the corridor.

Jinhua Saint, presumably not fond of disturbances, had chosen a very remote residence, and Chuzheng had been walking for quite some time without reaching it.

”Don’t come closer!”

”This is Shenwu Manor; if you act recklessly, the Manor Owner will not spare you!”

”Ah...let go of me!”

Chuzheng heard the intermittent sounds coming from not far away, silently sighing about some people’s quite daring behavior.

It seems not everyone coming to Shenwu Manor is a good person.

Chuzheng intended to head directly over but abruptly stopped after a few steps.

Be a good person!

Whoosh!

Chuzheng headed towards where the sound came from. In the depths of the dense forest, a young girl in a goose-yellow dress was being pinned to the ground by a man who was groping her all over.

The girl’s hands were restrained, and with a cloth gagging her mouth, she could make little sound as she struggled in despair.

Chuzheng casually picked up a stone and hurled it towards the man’s back of the head.

The man was suddenly hit but didn’t pass out. Furious, he turned his head to see who was disrupting his plan.

His glance revealed a more beautiful girl, and a malicious intent flashed in his eyes.

Yet before he could show his sinister expression, two more stones were hurled at him.

The man sneered and used his Inner Strength to deflect them.

Bam!

His head took another hit, and this time his eyes rolled back and he fell to the ground.

How...is this possible? Was there someone else?

As darkness overtook him, thoughts ceased.

Chuzheng walked over, kicked the man, then stepped on him slightly and bent down to look at the girl on the ground, ”Are you okay?”

Tears hung on the girl’s face, she blankly stared at her for a while, then finally reacted and removed the cloth from her mouth.

”No...nothing.”

She clutched her clothing tightly, trembling as she stood, almost believing her chastity would have been lost.

No one expected such an incident to occur in Shenwu Manor.

Sniffling, the girl said, ”Thank you...”

[Congratulations on receiving a Thank-You Card x1]

Chuzheng originally intended to leave but paused to ask, ”Do you know this man?”

”No, he suddenly rushed out and forcibly dragged me here.” The girl recounted with lingering fear, ”If not for you, I...”

She dared not continue, just thinking about it was terrifying.

Chuzheng assessed the girl’s attire, deducing she likely wasn’t a servant at Shenwu Manor.

”Take him to see Liu Quchen.” Chuzheng pointed to the man on the ground.

Since it happened in Shenwu Manor, Liu Quchen, as the Manor Owner, should at least clean up the mess.

The girl’s expression froze, shaking her head anxiously, ”Me? I can’t... I’m scared, if he wakes up, I can’t beat him.”

Moreover, this kind of thing...

Such matters becoming known, how could she face others?

Girls naturally care about their reputation; things like this make personal integrity their first concern.

Chuzheng wore a cold expression, ”Then it’s up to you.”

Having obtained the Thank-You Card, Chuzheng wasn’t planning to stay longer.

[Miss, she’s a disciple of Jinhua Saint, are you sure you don’t want to help?]

Chuzheng: ”...”

Chuzheng had already turned her body halfway, but smoothly turned back, addressing the girl, ”Can you at least call Liu Quchen over?”

The girl swallowed and eventually nodded, ”Yes.”

”Quickly go.”
