Chapter 232: Eastern Ocean Island Head

As Huo ** heard that, he could no longer sit still. Although cultivators seem to be extremely open about things between men and women, they were very particular about reputation. While the women can go into bed with her fiance before marriage, she must definitely not cheat on him. The more prestigious the family, the more they were concerned about this.

If SongZhong were to really divorce Mu ZiRong because of her infidelity, the Huo family’s reputation will be besmirched for eternity. That would be a big problem! Even Daoist HuoLong may lose his position as the sect master because of his family’s stigma. This made Huo ** very anxious.

He hurriedly a.s.sured SongZhong, “Won’t, she definitely won’t do so!”

“Don’t give me that bulls.h.i.+t! She had already cultivated the Divine Thousand Tribulation l.u.s.t Formula, what else will she not do?” SongZhong replied in frustration.

“I will send a letter back to my family immediately, and ensure that they watch over her. If she really dares commit adultery, even without a single word from you, our Huo family will clean up on our own!” Obviously, Mu ZiRong’s life was incomparable to Huo family’s dignity.

As SongZhong heard that, his eyes lit up and thought about the seductive figure Mu ZiRong possesses. He could not help but reveal a lecherous laugh, “Hehe, it is a waste to kill her. Why not you hand her over to me to watch her personally. It is just that I may be a little more violent. Hehe, you understand!”

Huo ** was also a man, a lecherous man. Naturally, he understood what SongZhong meant. “Alright, alright. If things were to really turn out as you have mentioned, you can do as you deem fit. Our family will take it that she had never existed!”

“Hehe, that’s much better!” SongZhong nodded in satisfaction.

“Haiz, now that you are satisfied, shouldn’t you give us an answer too?” Huo ** suddenly asked.

“What answer?” SongZhong feigned ignorance.

“Nine Beauties Painting! Don’t feign ignorance!” Huo ** did not know whether to laugh or cry.

“Ah, that!” SongZhong continued feigning ignorance. “Hehe, I picked it up by accident!”

“Ha! Such fortune indeed!” Huo ** curled his lips and said, “Since you’re not willing to say, then forget it. I have already instructed Mu ZiRong to remain silent about this matter. I am the only one who knows about this matter in the Eastern Ocean. When you venture out in the future, you must be careful and not reveal it easily, lest you create trouble for yourself!”

“Yes, Junior understands!” SongZhong quickly replied. As he said that, he handed a cup of tea over to Huo **.

Huo ** took the cup over and had a taste of it. Then, he remarked, “Good tea!”

“If senior likes it, I can gift you more of it.”

“Haha, what a filial child!”

“It is what this junior ought to do!”

While the both of them were extremely courteous to each other on the surface, in reality, a grudge had already been formed underneath. For SongZhong to conceal the matter about the Nine Beauties Painting and Mu ZiRong, this was not something that the condescending Huo family would take lying down. If it was any other person other than Little Fatty, they would definitely take covert actions to s.n.a.t.c.h the Nine Beauties Painting over.

But the problem was that SongZhong had a controversial status. First, he had a good relations.h.i.+p with the Hong family. Next, he was the son-in-law who would marry Mu ZiRong in future. Thus, it would be troublesome for Huo ** to get rid of him immediately.

However, the main reason was that SongZhong was no longer the ant that they can casually kill. He first warded off the Lightning Eagle King and then killed the Black Shark King. Those two powerful demonic beasts were no joking matter. Even Huo ** wouldn’t be able to win against them. Thus, no matter how much he hated SongZhong for s.n.a.t.c.hing the Nine Beauties Painting, he could only endure it.

Besides, he had something to request of SongZhong, and would naturally not want to ruin the mood.

After a round of hypocritical courtesy, Huo ** began talking about serious matters. He lightly placed down the tea cup as he said calmly while twiddling his beard, “Nephew SongZhong!”

“Junior is here, I wonder what instructions senior has for me?” SongZhong quickly replied.
