Chapter 134 Female Otaku
Chapter 134 Female Otaku
"Ladies and gentlemen, apart from the hostess and guests, no other men are allowed to set foot in the women's residence."
After crossing the bridge and entering the villa, the guards who had led the way stopped going further inside.
"I'll leave you here. The rest of the journey is in the hands of Miss Bihuang."
The guard said to the steward who hurriedly came out of the women's residence.
"I am Bihuang, the lady in charge of the household. On behalf of the mistress, I respectfully welcome you distinguished guests. Please come in, esteemed guests."
The group followed the steward, Bi Huang, into the women's residence. While not exactly opulent, the residence was certainly ornately decorated, grand and imposing, exuding luxury and grandeur in every corner.
Li Lianhua and Fang Duobing walked at the back of the crowd, discussing in hushed tones.
"Hey, Fang Xiaobao, have you figured out anything?"
"What's the trick?"
Fang was ill and could not find a cure.
"The drawbridge at the entrance was raised as soon as we came in to cut off our way back. The guards are not allowed to enter without orders. It seems that Yu Louchun is even more cautious than Jin Mantang."
"That's how it seems at the moment."
"Is this a golden longevity pine?"
Fang Duobing looked at the pine tree that had been casually planted in the women's house with surprise.
Is something wrong?
“There’s nothing wrong with it, but this is a Podocarpus macrophyllus that takes a hundred years to cultivate and produce, one in ten thousand. It’s a treasure that my family doesn’t even have, yet we have it here, and so many of them. It seems that the taste of this house is not something that can be achieved overnight; it must have been cultivated over at least three generations.”
"Three generations? Doesn't that coincide with the timeline of the four Southern Yin people who came to the Central Plains? It seems the person we're looking for is here. Let's go."
After entering the women's residence, Bihuang arranged for everyone to take a bath to wash away the dust from their long journey.
Fang Duobing didn't want to be served by strange women in an unfamiliar place while bathing, so he made an excuse to refuse. However, Li Lianhua had already gone in, so he could only drink tea with Murong Yao, who also didn't want to bathe, and wait for Li Lianhua to come out.
During the wait, Fang Duobing discovered that the women's residence was extremely strictly managed; if any of the serving women made a mistake, it would be recorded.
On their first meeting, Fang Duobing couldn't bear to see the girl punished for serving him, so he offered to pay all the fines for that day himself.
Bi Huang hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.
After drinking two cups of tea, Li Lianhua came out.
Fang Duobing looked at Li Lianhua as if he were looking at a scumbag.
Looking at Fang Duobing's expression, Li Lianhua knew exactly what was going on in his head and didn't want to talk to him.
"Now that Doctor Li has arrived, please come with me to see the master."
"Azaleas are blooming so early?"
Li Lianhua asked in confusion.
"It's still early for the banquet. The host would like to meet with you two privately first. This way, please."
Bi Huang led the way, with Li Lianhua and Fang Duobing following behind.
Fang Duobing: What are you trying to do?
Li Lianhua: I don't know either. Let's go first and see how things go.
"Gentlemen, the master is in this Golden Jade Pavilion. Please come in."
Bi Huang led the two to a room that was decorated somewhat like Yuanbao Manor, and then invited them inside.
Li Lianhua and Fang Duobing exchanged a glance, suppressed their doubts, and went inside.
Inside the room, a man in fine clothes was using his inner strength to manipulate a golden object in his hand. As he exerted force, golden fragments fell, and the object in his hand slowly took shape.
Seeing the two enter, he didn't stop: "Please, make yourselves at home. My plaything will be ready soon."
Li Lianhua and Fang Duobing didn't stand on ceremony and casually found a chair to sit down and wait.
After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Yu Louchun finally stopped what she was doing. In her hand was a lifelike golden carved flower.
