Chapter 155 Unimaginable

The place where we got off was an estate at the foot of the mountain. True to the Sun family, the estate was built with great grandeur. After Xiao Qi and Sun Liancheng entered the gates, the fat man and I instinctively walked behind. The fat man asked me, "Leaf, do you get the feeling that the Sun family's attitude toward your eldest brother is rather ambiguous?"

"I can feel it. They don't seem to like my eldest brother at all. And that remark by Sun Liancheng that my eldest brother could never return to Jinan—I have a feeling it's not at all what Sun Liancheng made it out to be," I replied.

The fat man nodded and said, "That's why the Li family's attitude toward you is relatively much friendlier. The Sun family, which Fat Man here thought would be one of our own, is instead turning out to be extremely bizarre."

"Have you ever heard of the Ghost Dao's Four Sects?" I asked the fat man.

"I've heard of them. After Guo Zhongyong died, the Ghost Dao disintegrated. The most powerful Guo family completely vanished, and the rest disappeared into obscurity—at least none of them ever dared to walk the world under the banner of the Ghost Dao again. So even Fat Man here didn't expect that Old Lady Li and the Sun family were actually practitioners of the Ghost Dao," said the fat man.

While we were talking, Sun Liancheng had already led us into a courtyard. The layout within the courtyard was exceptionally picturesque, complete with pavilions, terraces, rockeries, winding streams, and the chirping of birds audible everywhere. Upon entering this courtyard, Sun Liancheng put away his frivolous expression and turned deadly serious. He walked up to the main door of a building and said softly, "Grandfather, they have arrived."

"Come in," a voice echoed from inside.

Sun Liancheng was around our age, so his grandfather should have been about the same age as my own grandfather. Yet his grandfather's voice sounded remarkably young. Sun Liancheng turned back to us and said, "Let's go, inside."

At that moment, the door opened, and a woman's face poked out. She possessed a textbook-perfect oval face with her hair styled into a bun, exuding a quaint, traditional charm of our homeland. As the woman gently pushed the door open, the fat man let out a gasp of shock, and I was deeply startled as well. Only after she opened the door did I realize that she was wearing nothing more than a red belly-band, being completely naked everywhere else. Her slender, shapely legs emitted a pinkish glow. The belly-band was short, leaving the lushly grass-covered triangular region faintly visible, looking intensely seductive.

"What is this monstrosity?" Xiao Qi frowned, glaring at Sun Liancheng.

Sun Liancheng's expression turned somewhat unnatural. "Shh, don't talk too much. My grandfather has a rather bad temper."

To be honest, looking at a scene like this, I didn't even dare to step inside. Could this woman possibly be the wife of Sun Liancheng's grandfather? The old man was well up in years—did he really still have a taste for this sort of thing?

Xiao Qi frowned deeply, stepping back to stand behind the fat man and me. "You guys go first."

I didn't dare to move my feet either. Setting aside what kind of person Old Man Sun was, that a woman would dare to open a door and expose herself in such a state to us was something I simply couldn't fathom. The fat man looked at the two of us and said, "Steady! Fat Man is here, don't be afraid."

"Fat Man, this isn't a matter of being afraid or not, this..." I began.

"What's so strange about this nowadays?" the fat man retorted. With that, he followed Sun Liancheng into the room. Xiao Qi and I steeled ourselves and walked in as well. Once inside, Han Xue let out a sharp shriek and closed her eyes, while I felt as though my head gave a muffled buzz, on the verge of exploding.

From the outside, the building looked like an ordinary pavilion, but upon stepping inside, it was a world of its own. It was exceptionally spacious; what should have been a three-story design was entirely open to a single towering level, higher than any Buddhist grand hall I had ever laid eyes on.

Right in the middle of the room stood a massive sculpture, one scandalous enough to make anyone flush crimson. It turned out to be a naked man wearing a facial mask, his statue linked together with that of a woman. The statues were carved with exquisite realism. The man was completely naked, wearing a mask identical to the one my grandfather wore, while the female statue possessed classical features, every detail of her form sculpted to lifelike perfection.

Beneath the statues, a middle-aged man was entwined with several young women dressed identically to the one who had opened the door for us.

Han Xue grabbed my arm, burying her face in my shoulder. As I looked upon the scene, my breathing grew rapid and my face burned. No matter what, your buddy here was still a genuine, bona fide virgin. After staring for a moment, burning all over and not daring to look any longer, I tried to glance elsewhere, but looking elsewhere only made my entire worldview collapse.

Inside this pavilion, erotic paintings were everywhere.

The murals on the walls were erotic.
The hanging scrolls and paintings were erotic.
Every single piece was different.

The entire room was permeated with a heady, aphrodisiac fragrance. I had no idea what kind of place I had stumbled into; this was practically a den of depravity! The middle-aged man knew we were standing right at the entrance, yet he and those women continued their joyous frolicking without a care in the world. I glanced at Sun Liancheng and noticed that although his face carried an unnatural expression, he was holding up much better than the rest of us. I could hardly believe whether all this was some kind of hallucination.

We had been inside for ten full minutes when the woman who had opened the door for us also joined the fray. I had to admit, that man's endurance was astonishing—two of the women were already lying limp on the floor, their eyes hazy. Right at that moment, Han Xue, who was pressed against me, suddenly raised her head to look at me. Her cheeks bore a charming flush; I thought she was just feeling shy, but when I looked into her eyes, I felt something was terribly wrong, for her gaze was filled with wanton seductiveness and ravenous thirst—completely unlike her usual self.

"What's wrong with you?" I asked in a low voice.

At that moment, Xiao Qi looped her arms around my neck, pressing her crimson lips directly toward me. Startled, I shoved her away hard. The moment I pushed her, I could feel that her entire body had gone boneless and soft. After being shoved aside, she seemed to catch sight of the people beneath the statue, got up, and staggered toward them. As she walked, her clothes kept dropping off.

"Fat Man! There's something wrong with that incense! Stop Xiao Qi!" I cried out as I sprang into action, running toward Xiao Qi and sweeping her up into my arms. As I held her, she gazed at me with misty eyes and heavy, panting breaths, saying, "Weren't you just trying to push me away?"

"You've been poisoned!" I shouted.

With that, I snapped at Sun Liancheng, "Didn't you want to chase her? What the hell! Are you out of your mind?!"

I really didn't use profanity lightly under normal circumstances. Even when I saw that man engaging in unspeakable acts with multiple women, I had figured it was none of my business and kept my distance. But Xiao Qi had almost fallen victim to it, and after spending these past few days together, I had grown very fond of my cousin. Furthermore, thinking of the women in this room—even if they were doing it willingly, if they had also been seduced by these aphrodisiac incenses, then Sun Liancheng's grandfather was nothing more than a beast worse than a pig or a dog.

I picked up Xiao Qi and bolted out of the room. The fat man also hurried out behind me, grabbed Xiao Qi's wrist, frowned, and said, "This is Huanyi Incense, which only works on women."

"Quickly help her detox!" I urged.

The fat man looked at the stream winding through the rockery, took Xiao Qi from my hands, marched over to the water's edge, and shoved her head straight into the stream. After holding her under for half a minute, he pulled her up. After repeating this a few times, I suddenly heard Xiao Qi roar, "Damn fat man, what are you doing?!"

The fat man let go of her and said, "Why are you yelling? Fat Man here is saving your life! The incense in that room is Huanyi Incense. If it weren't for your cousin, you'd have been done for!"

Xiao Qi looked down and saw that she was left wearing only her undergarments, her expression shifting dramatically. She stood up, kicked the door open, and marched back inside.

Fearing for Xiao Qi's safety, the fat man and I hurriedly chased after her. Once inside, the battle in the room had finally drawn to a close. The middle-aged man seemed entirely unconcerned about what had transpired. He tossed the limp young woman onto the floor, turned around stark naked, and said to Sun Liancheng, "Liancheng, take them out and give each of them one hundred thousand yuan."

Sun Liancheng nodded, walked out, and returned shortly with a few men. These men seemed quite accustomed to the sight; each of them scooped up a young woman and walked out.

Only then did the middle-aged man look over at us and say, "Wait a moment, I'm going to take a bath."
