Chapter 420: Chapter 298: Only Children Make Choices, Part 2

The black Blood Marrow pulsed within the elixir wine.

If the bottle hadn’t been sealed shut, Tang Wen suspected it would have leaped right out.

"We’re going underground the day after tomorrow. You should rest tomorrow!" Feng San Niang said as she walked in, her eyes filled with concern.

Speaking of which, feelings could be a strange and inexplicable thing sometimes.

Tang Wen didn’t feel like he’d ever flirted with Feng San Niang. He had just gone to rescue her that night and put on a little act.

But that was just to give himself a legitimate reason to intervene.

He couldn’t just stop her engagement if they had nothing to do with each other, could he?

Who would have thought that after he rescued her, he wouldn’t be able to shake her off?

The act had simply turned into reality.

Tang Wen could tell that while she might not be deeply in love with him, she at least genuinely liked him.

So what was there to hesitate about? He simply went with the flow, seized the opportunity, and... got on top of San Niang.

With a soft pop, the cork was pulled.

The Blood Marrow had already dissolved into the elixir wine.

Tang Wen said to Feng San Niang, "Alright. We’ll talk after I finish this."

Even with his iron-forged body, Tang Wen couldn’t handle drinking Fifth Grade Blood Marrow straight. He had to dilute it with wine.

Even so, the pain of drinking the Blood Marrow Elixir Wine was comparable to that of an ordinary person drinking boiling oil.

"Don’t be in such a hurry! Isn’t it better to take things slow?"

Feng San Niang walked over to persuade him, crouching down and placing her hands on his thighs.

The snowy-white valley of her cleavage swayed gently, a captivating sight.

Just as Tang Wen was about to drink the Blood Marrow Elixir Wine, he saw what she was doing and suddenly laughed. "Why are you suddenly testing me like this?"

’I am an important figure in Ganshan City. How could I possibly fail such a test?’

Feng San Niang used to manage a brothel, so she understood his meaning in an instant.

She glanced down, then immediately smiled, looking at Tang Wen with seductive eyes. "So, Young Master, you’ve never actually been to the Spring Breeze Pavilion. And here I was, thinking you weren’t interested in women."

She held his leg and gently straightened up. "As long as you don’t drink that Blood Marrow Elixir Wine, I’ll use this pair..."

Tang Wen was instantly aroused. He held the wine flask steady with one hand while using the other to support her bountiful fruit. Kissing her on the lips, he said, "Only children make choices! I want it all!"

With that, he gave her shoulder a gentle press.

Feng San Niang sighed helplessly, then got up and closed the door. Her eyes full of concern, she began to help him take his mind off the pain.

"Hiss! Good wine!"

It was like lava boiling in his gut.

Fortunately, with Feng San Niang’s help, his suffering was greatly reduced.

The medicinal power gradually seeped into his internal organs.

The Dark Power within the Blood Marrow began to spread.

It was like a steel knife scraping his bones, like a sharp blade carving away his flesh.

Tang Wen’s body trembled as he utilized the Refining Organ Method of the Resilient Five Gods.

He directed a portion of the spreading Dark Power into his bone marrow, while dispersing the rest into his five internal organs.

This wasn’t his first time drinking the Fifth Grade Blood Marrow Elixir Wine.

Bathing in Blood Marrow was not only wasteful, but the effects were also poor.

Yesterday, he had mixed a single drop of Blood Marrow into thirty catties of wine and drunk it.

The experience had been excruciating. The medicinal power within the Blood Marrow was far too potent, and a person’s internal organs were fragile, after all.

The first time he drank, it was only a small cup, yet the medicinal power had rampaged wildly through his body.

If Tang Wen hadn’t already mastered the Refining Organ Method of the Resilient Five Gods,

he probably would have fainted from the pain, and that would have been getting off easy.

The scene had been so terrifying that Feng San Niang was still shaken by the memory of it.

[Extraordinary Ability: Dark (Awakening Progress 82.13%)]

[Resilient Five Gods (Organ Cultivation Technique), Mastery (35/1000)]

The medicinal power of the Fifth Grade Blood Marrow was ferocious.

Fortunately, it didn’t last long.

It came on fast and faded just as quickly.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the pain began to slowly subside.

As the violent energy stirred up by the pain dissipated from his heart, Tang Wen looked at San Niang and said weakly, "I’ve put you through a lot."

"Mmm~" Feng San Niang hummed, gently shaking her head.

Tang Wen smiled gently, caressing her cheek.

’A beauty’s kindness is a heavy debt, and must be repaid with everything I have!’

And Tang Wen was a man who acted on his thoughts.

An hour later, Feng San Niang had brewed tea. She handed a cup to Tang Wen before settling into his lap and saying fiercely, "You’re not allowed to drink any more today."

"Alright, I promise you. If I drink any more, you’re a puppy," Tang Wen said, nodding with a straight face as he sipped the fragrant tea.

"I’m a puppy?" Feng San Niang playfully punched his chest.

They cuddled together, whispering sweet nothings to each other.

Feng San Niang again advised Tang Wen not to be so hasty with his training.

But how could Tang Wen possibly listen?

If he didn’t rely on the Fifth Grade Blood Marrow and instead just painstakingly practiced the Night Divine Fist to stimulate the transformation of his root marrow,

he probably wouldn’t break through to the Extraordinary realm even in another year.

Tang Wen kneaded her full, moon-like buttocks and said casually, "When I break through to the Extraordinary realm, you’ll be the first one I devour."

"Really?"

"Of course."

"How long will that take?"

"One drop a day... about half a year." This was a conservative estimate.

Feng San Niang fell silent. Hearing it would still be half a year, she couldn’t help but say, "In that case, Young Master, why not drink ten drops of the Blood Marrow Elixir Wine every day?"

Ten drops?

’Is this woman trying to kill me with pain?’

Tang Wen glared, and Feng San Niang quickly smiled and begged for mercy.

With the trial fast approaching, Feng San Niang saw that Tang Wen wasn’t going to drink any more elixir wine, so she returned to her room to adjust her condition.

She needed to be ready to enter the underground with Tang Wen in two days’ time.

The elixir wine was highly invigorating, and after she left, Tang Wen found he couldn’t calm himself down.

Coincidentally, there was no one else in the courtyard.

Xia Qingge... uh. Tang Wen rubbed his nose. She was busy training hard in the Gravity Chamber.

Even if she were here, it’s not like she’d help him relieve his physical and mental tension.

Sister Bing was also in the chamber.

The female housekeeper was underground with the two of them.

His senior sister was busy with the gang’s official business.

Liang Yu was in seclusion.

In short, Tang Wen ran through the list and couldn’t find a single person available.

’Then I’ll just go to a bro... cough, cough. Right, I’ll go to Lin Shi’s place.’

Tang Wen shook his head. ’I really have too few women around me.’

After having this shameless thought,

the next moment, he activated his Stealth Technique and slipped out of the room, silent and unnoticed.

The residence of Zhao Zhe, former Eldest Young Master of the Black Water Gang.

Using Invisibility, Tang Wen quietly arrived in Lin Shi’s courtyard.

By this time, dusk had fallen and the lanterns were being lit.

Lin Shi and her handmaiden, Lin Hua, had just finished their meal and were preparing for a bath.

’What a coincidence. It’s not about arriving early, but arriving at just the right time.’

Tang Wen smiled faintly, preparing to push the door open and enter.

"Agh, it hurts so much! It’s killing me..."

The sudden shout made him freeze.

’That voice... sounds like Zhao Zhe?’

’He actually woke up?’

Zhao Zhe’s Sea of Consciousness had been destroyed and he could no longer condense his Spiritual Power. He was a complete cripple.

Tang Wen turned and went to the adjacent courtyard.

There, he saw Zhao Zhe and several beautiful women.

Tang Wen had heard from Shui Yun that these beautiful women were Zhao Zhe’s former lovers—or, to be more precise, his mistresses.

Tang Wen swept his gaze over them. Four women, all with the cultivation of Martial Artists.

He nodded in satisfaction.

Zhao Zhe was still crying out in pain, but the four women showed no reaction, merely watching with cold detachment.

It was clear that, although the four women were silent, their eyes were filled with disgust. They looked as if they wished Zhao Zhe would drop dead that very instant.

A handmaiden pushed the door open and entered, carrying a bowl of medicinal soup.

The four women stepped aside, watching as the handmaiden fed him the medicine.

"What medicine is that?" Tang Wen suddenly appeared.

The sudden male voice startled the handmaiden. She jumped, spilling most of the medicine and nearly dropping the bowl.

"Who’s there? Ah, Young Master! Forgive me, this servant greets Young Master Tang Wen!"

The handmaiden didn’t even have time to put down the bowl before she fell to her knees with a THUD.

Tang Wen’s appearance had also startled the four beautiful women.

They reacted even faster. Recognizing Tang Wen’s handsome face, they quickly knelt alongside the handmaiden.

"Rise."

Only then did the handmaiden remember to answer his question. "Young Master, it’s a painkiller. It’s addictive."

"Who told you to bring it?"

"It... it was Lady Lin Shi. She said he is still useful alive."

Lin Shi was a Peak Martial Artist.

Her senses were sharp. Hearing the commotion in the adjacent courtyard, she rushed to the second floor to investigate.

The sight caused the color to drain from her face.

’Young Master Tang Wen is here? He saw me having medicine sent to that cripple. He won’t think I still have lingering feelings for that good-for-nothing, will he?’

Panicked, she paid no mind to the fact she was barefoot and clad only in a bodice and shorts. Crying "Young Master!" she leaped from the second-floor balcony.

Seeing the beauty descending from above, Tang Wen gently caught her in his arms.

The gloating looks on the other four women’s faces froze.

’Those two?’

’That shameless woman actually managed to seduce Young Master Tang Wen?’

Tang Wen supported her posterior with one hand, lifting her off the ground in his embrace.

Lin Shi breathed an inward sigh of relief. Blushing, she quickly leaned in and whispered a few words of explanation in Tang Wen’s ear.

’In front of... him?’

Tang Wen’s appetite was whetted. He pinched her nose playfully. "You, always coming up with new tricks to play!"

After saying this, Tang Wen looked to the side.

Lin Shi instantly understood his meaning. "You four, what are you waiting for? Get over here and serve him!"
