An hour later.

Niu Qiang's face was slightly pale, and his legs trembled slightly as he left Chixintang, his eyes filled with reminiscence.

The joy I felt earlier is still vivid in my mind.

The taste of a woman is wonderful!

Plump and moist.

He already looked down on He Yue'e; she was flat-chested and a naive young girl.

However, for his future success, he still needs to go back to work.

Once this is all done, I absolutely have to buy a Snake Princess and play with her at home.

Just like those gentlemen in the inner city!
He was walking along the winding path, dreaming about the future, when suddenly a dark light emerged from the bushes beside him…

She took a bite out of his calf!
The venom is extremely potent; it can kill instantly upon contact with blood.

Niu Qiang opened his mouth to shout, but his throat seemed to be blocked, and he collapsed to the ground, losing control of his body.

The skin, flesh, and tendons around his calves turned black instantly, and the black color quickly spread throughout his body.

Then it ulcerated and became infected...

"Giggle..."

He collapsed to the ground, convulsing and trembling, his teeth chattering. In his blurred vision, a small, dark snake suddenly magnified...

He could even vaguely sense "disgust" in the snake's eyes.

Then, the little snake took the "Snake-Bewitching Powder" from his arms and transformed into a blue bird...

It flew away!
How can a snake turn into a bird?

This was his last thought as he lived.

By the time the patrolling Green Snake Gang members noticed, it was already half an hour later.

By this time, Niu Qiang had already turned into a pool of black pus.

Xu Qiqiu, who rushed over, saw this scene and his expression changed repeatedly, a suspicion creeping into his heart...

Accident?

Or... a warning?
Could there be a mastermind behind Old Man He?
……

Chang Le Fang.

He Qiang (Old Man He) lay on the bed, his one eye gleaming.

A mix of resentment, helplessness, and anxiety welled up inside me, a complex blend of emotions.

His beloved granddaughter went to the doctor to get medicine but didn't return, leaving him alone in the house, which felt particularly desolate.

He became a burden to his granddaughter and wanted to end it all, but in the end he couldn't bear to leave her.

Now, both the Green Snake Sword Technique and the Green Snake Sword have been given away...

I reckon it will reduce some trouble.

However, this would be a bit unfair to Brother Liu.

"Ugh...this world...it's truly damnable..."

He sighed softly, feeling guilty, all for his granddaughter…

However, this was the only option left.

Just then, two birds called out from outside, followed by a familiar voice:

"He sighs day and night, can Old He really make the Xu brothers sigh themselves to death?"

"Who?"

Old Man He, enduring excruciating pain, struggled to his feet, his expression changing drastically:

"Brother Liu?"

"Old He, your injury... is less serious than I thought."

Liu Sheng pushed open the door and sat down beside the bed, smiling without saying a word.

"You... sigh..."

Old Man He's expression changed several times, and finally he sighed and lowered his head, saying:
"I feel truly ashamed to have dragged you into my troubles,"

"Appreciate further details."

"These are all old stories, there's no need to bring them up again."

Old Man He waved his hand, then lay down again, looking listless.

"Now that I have become like this, I only hope that Yue'e is safe and sound. I do not ask for anything else."

As for the "Green Snake Sword Technique" and the Green Snake Sword, if you find them too hot to handle, you can sell them or give them away.

There's no need to inform me.

"Old He, you're practically buried up to your neck, how can you still be so naive?"

Liu Sheng tossed the "Snake-Desire Bewitching Powder" in his hand, his smile undiminished:

"Compromise will never lead to complete success! Have you heard of this 'Snake's Bewitching Powder'?"

Old Man He's one eye shrank sharply, his expression turning grave:
"The Green Snake Gang's 'Snake Desire Bewitching Powder'?"
"They claim that a single touch can turn a virgin into a harlot, making her completely subservient to any man she's slept with?"

"It seems you've heard of it too." Liu Sheng placed the medicine bottle in front of him and said quietly.

"This medicine was originally meant to be given to your granddaughter tonight..."

"Who dares!"

Old Man He jumped out of bed, his wounds bursting open, blood gushing out like a fountain, and in the blink of an eye he became a blood-soaked figure.

He ignored all of this, pressing his right hand, with only half a palm remaining, against Liu Sheng:

"Who dares to harm my granddaughter? I will fight to the death to find them..."

You should be able to guess.

"The Xu family? That's right, Xu Laosan is the Chixin Hall Master of the Green Snake Gang. He's the one who developed this 'Snake Desire Bewitching Powder'..."

He Qiang trembled all over, blood poured down his face, and in a moment it pooled into a bloody puddle at his feet.

He swayed, his single eye filled with weakness as he looked at Liu Sheng:

"What do you want to know?"

"There are too many! The connection between your He family's 'Green Snake Sword Technique' and the Green Snake Gang's 'Green Snake Skill'."

The current situation of the Shanyang Division of the Demon Suppression Bureau, the background, lineage, relationships, and martial arts skills of General Xie Bao and his demon-suppressing captains.

But right now, what I really want to know is...

What are the cultivation levels, personalities, hobbies, respective power backgrounds, and sordid dealings among the four Xu brothers? Where is their residence located? How many mistresses do they have? Where are their concubines kept?

"You're going to deal with the Xu brothers?"

"Are we just going to keep reacting passively? Your granddaughter was lucky this time; otherwise, you could have just waited to see her and Niu Qiang having a live sex show tonight!"

Liu Sheng's lips curled into a forced smile.
“I have a grandmother, a stepdaughter, and a concubine. I’m a married woman myself. I can’t let them live in constant fear, can I?”

"I have a request..."

"If it's about entrusting your child to someone else, then forget it. You won't die."

Liu Sheng retorted irritably and stepped forward to help re-bandage his wound:
“If you are worried about your granddaughter’s safety, you can temporarily move to my house to recuperate, so that I can take care of her.”

He Qiang hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded in agreement.

He's been injured for two days, and everyone who should know has already found out, but not a single person has come to visit him…

Those "friends and old acquaintances" are best avoided.

Now, in this Shanyang County, Liu Sheng is the only one who can protect them, grandfather and grandson.

Just after noon.

Liu Sheng then drove the rented carriage and took the He family grandfather and grandson back to his home to settle them in.

Grandma Liu was very loyal. When she heard that Old He was being retaliated against because he helped her grandson, she patted her chest and said that the Liu family would cover all of Old He's medical expenses.

After receiving two thousand taels of silver notes from her grandson as a keepsake, the old lady spoke and acted with great confidence.

She's increasingly showing the demeanor of a great-grandmother from a wealthy family.

Of course, her little scheme couldn't escape Liu Sheng's notice...

Didn't you see her staring at He Yue'e's chest and buttocks the moment they met?

She's talking about her great-grandson!
After settling in, Old Man He, despite his exhaustion, called Liu Sheng over and began to talk about the Xu brothers.

"The Xu family's fortunes only lasted three generations. Their grandfather was just a lowly laborer back then. He got involved with the Wu family in the inner city and became a regular laborer, and that's how he made his fortune."

He sighed and began to explain:

The four Xu brothers were also known as "tigers, wolves, snakes, and dogs".

The eldest son, Xu Qichun, works as a demon hunter in the Demon Suppression Division. He is the pillar of the Xu family and is known as the "Tiger."

The second son, Xu Qixia, was a regular servant in the county government. He was fierce and cunning, a "wolf".

The third brother, Xu Qiqiu, is the leader of the Chixin Hall of the Green Snake Gang. He is vicious, greedy, and lecherous by nature; he is a 'snake'.

The fourth son, Xu Qidong, works as a clerk in the Demon Suppression Bureau. He was spoiled from a young age, neither good at literature nor martial arts, and indulges in extravagance and debauchery. He is a "dog".

The four brothers have a close relationship. They advance in three directions—the Exorcism Bureau, the county government, and the gang—supporting each other. Now they all hold real power and have made the Xu family very prosperous.

Moreover, it is said that they can even establish a connection with the Wu family in the inner city.

That's... a powerful clan with a fourth-level True Form Martial Master in charge!

Oh open!

It seems the Xu family... is not to be trifled with.

In this case…

Liu Sheng pursed his lips, his eyes flashed, and a murderous intent brewed between his brows.

It seems we must take swift and decisive action to eliminate them completely.

Otherwise, within the rules, it's difficult to outmaneuver them.

"No!"

Old Man He was so frightened that he jumped out of bed and repeatedly tried to stop him:

"you listen to me……"
