Chapter 123: 93, 94. Gathering all her strength, Ling stands tall, traveling with neither immortal nor ghost (Big Chapter - Seeking Subscriptions)_4

In the tearoom, two women were sitting, and two were standing.

The ones sitting,

one was wrapped in a coat, with a cold and elegant face, precisely Miss An.

The other, dressed in gauze, with a sword carried on her back, graceful and charming, was unexpectedly Madam Tong!

The ones standing,

one was clad in a sword robe, with a face as cold as frost, was Ying.

The other, mellow and coquettish, was Ling.

Among them, Miss An, Ying, and Ling seemed bewitched, staring at whatever Madam Tong was drawing on the paper.

Madam Tong was sketching delicately, laughing to herself as if she were saying something.

Song Cheng felt a sudden chill in his heart.

A strong sense of anomaly pierced through him like needles.

Gauze?

Madam Tong usually preferred conservative dressing, even in the summer, she would pull the neckline properly to avoid showing any skin from her neck.

How could a woman like her wear something with charm?

Song Cheng suddenly looked up, scanning the data above the heads of the four women.

Miss An, Ying, and Ling were all normal.

However, the data above Madam Tong’s head was exceedingly bizarre:

In the [Strength] column, two sets of data overlapped:

One, [Strength: 31~56], which was Madam Tong’s, with the best resources and Song Cheng’s assistance, Madam Tong’s cultivation speed was extremely fast.

The other, [Strength: 0(435)~0(870)].

This data... far surpassed his!

And under affinity, there were also two overlapping data sets:

One, [Affinity: 100]

Another, [Affinity: 40]

Song Cheng’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.

A few pieces of information with chaotic judgments and images flashed through quickly.

"Suddenly returned," "an incense stick of time," "drawing"...

’Madam Tong had a problem.’

’Pearl Mountain Taoist Temple?’

’A gigantic Ghostly Fox?’

’It seemed like, regardless of what was being done, it wasn’t finished yet.’

’Stop her!!’

His thoughts flashed swiftly, and Song Cheng walked forward just as quickly.

He hurried forward, saying, "Madam, returning without telling me a word."

Yet, the four women completely ignored him, their eyes fixated on what Madam Tong was drawing.

And the speed of Madam Tong’s drawing was also increasing.

Not waiting any longer, Song Cheng stepped forward, like a hawk swiftly sweeping through the night wind, he dashed over.

Through his charge, he seemed to have entered some kind of strange spiritual ripple, but just like in Lady Zhushan’s Illusionary Realm, he wasn’t affected.

In the blink of an eye, Song Cheng first hooked Miss An, then hugged Ying and grabbed Ling.

Then, he landed gently, setting the three of them down.

"Sister An, Sister An!"

Song Cheng called out urgently twice.

However, Ying was the first to regain consciousness, looking at Song Cheng in amazement, she asked, "Brother-in-law, why... why am I in your arms?"

Following that, An Chenyu and Ling also slowly awakened, both with a sense of waking from a dream.

Subsequently, the four of them simultaneously looked at Madam Tong in the pavilion.

An Chenyu hurriedly said, "Song, Sister Jia was acting strange today, her gaze was off, and her clothing was a red gauze dress, she..."

Before she could finish, Madam Tong crossed her legs seductively, propped her chin, leaned forward, and looked at the four of them with a charming gaze, lightly saying, "Oh, the man is back."

Song Cheng squinted at the data across from him:

[Strength: 0(435)~0(870)]

[Affinity: 40]

He suddenly asked a question that a normal person would certainly not ask in such a setting: "In the middle of the night, is the elder hungry?"

Madam Tong was momentarily stunned and replied with a coy voice, "Oh, so considerate, you’re actually concerned about my hunger?"

Song Cheng began introducing, "There are still quite a few delicious things in the Prefectural City, as for me, when I’m free, I just like to eat. The eight-treasure whole lamb in the south of the city, the flaming golden-robed beef in the east, beggar’s chicken..."

He listed them off with familiarity.

And when he mentioned "beggar’s chicken," he distinctly noticed Madam Tong swallow, a kind of "slurping" sound, that fox-like gaze narrowing and rising.

Song Cheng said, "Elder, we have no grudges, do we?

Today you’ve come to my home, so you’re considered a guest.

Our encounter is also a matter of fate.

Otherwise, why would you have met me and not someone else?

If you have any requests, speak up boldly, and I’ll certainly help you if I can.

Let’s avoid conflicts if we can both benefit, shall we?"

An Chenyu: ...

Ying: ...

Ling: ...

Madam Tong: ...

After a long while, Madam Tong giggled, saying, "Do you know who I am before you speak like this?"

Song Cheng said, "Fox Immortal, right?"

Madam Tong: ???

Her face suddenly collected itself, and she stopped laughing, directly saying, "Alright, first thing, get me an ordinary person, from this courtyard, nowhere else. I know you’re not simple, maybe you meet my requirements. So, I definitely need a woman closely related to you."

As she spoke, her gaze shifted mysteriously, scanning over Ling.

Ling was so frightened that she stepped back.

But Madam Tong didn’t linger on her, instead stopped at An Chenyu, then laughed charmingly.

Song Cheng’s expression slowly changed.

And just then, the previously retreating Ling, for some unknown reason, stepped forward, saying, "I, I can do it."

Madam Tong laughed softly, saying, "You?

You’re... not closely related enough to your brother-in-law. I don’t want that."

Then... the only choices in this courtyard are just...

Before she could finish speaking, Song Cheng suddenly pulled Ling close and kissed her deeply.

Ling was stunned, but she closed her eyes to enjoy it.

After a moment, Song Cheng released her, saying, "It’s just that Jia didn’t know."

Ling blushed, then followed behind, clenching her little fists and exclaiming, "Yes!"

She felt like she’d really made a bold move today.
