Chapter 5
The True Colors of a Demon

Qiao Feng turned around and laughed loudly, “It seems Qiao has made a fool of himself. But meeting a young hero like Flower 公子, is reason enough to drink three hundred bowls of fine wine!”

Hua Wu Que laughed at him, thinking he was a drunkard who used anything as an excuse to drink. He was about to speak when a voice like silver bells came from down the mountain, “Heehee, Qiao Big Brother is looking for another excuse to drink, how shameless!”

Following the direction of the voice, Hua Wu Que’s eyes lit up. He saw a group of girls coming up from the mountain, all dressed in martial arts clothing and carrying swords. They were in two groups, with four in the back, flanking the sides, surrounding a stunningly beautiful girl. She wore an apricot yellow shirt, cinched with a white sash, with eyes like autumn water and long brows that reached her temples. She was smiling and walking slowly.

Hearing this, Qiao Feng laughed heartily, “I was wondering why Helian Tie Shu let us go so easily. It seems that Miss Lian has arrived. Qiao has been saved by the Sichuan-Shanxi 義軍 several times, I don’t know how to repay them.”

Hua Wu Que was silently admiring the beautiful woman before him, guessing her origins. Now, hearing Qiao Feng’s words, he realized, “So this is the leader of the Sichuan-Shanxi 義軍, the White-Haired魔女 who will be famous one day.” Knowing her identity only increased his interest.

Lian Ni Chang smiled softly, “No problem, no problem. Qiao Big Brother abstaining from alcohol for a month will settle the debt, how does that sound?”

Qiao Feng was embarrassed, quickly waving his hands. Hua Wu Que found it amusing. For Qiao Feng, who loved drinking, to abstain for a month was tantamount to death.

Qiao Feng, now realizing the situation, introduced the two. Lian Ni Chang had already noticed the handsome young man beside Qiao Feng. She had heard about the battle from the scouts. When she finally saw Hua Wu Que’s handsome and elegant features, she couldn’t help but feel a flutter in her heart. She quickly thought, “Lian Ni Chang, Lian Ni Chang, how can you be so fickle? Hmm, although Brother Zhuo isn’t as handsome as him, he is still very good…” A young girl’s first love, how could she know the day Zhuo Yi Hang would bring her a head of white hair?

Hua Wu Que was secretly thinking about how to win over this outspoken little 烈馬. Seeing that it was getting light and Lian Ni Chang was bidding farewell, Hua Wu Que was disappointed, but since she was the leader of the 义軍, she must have her own plans. However, he already had a plan to capture this 胭脂马, so he wasn’t too disappointed.

【Hua Wu Que looked at the beautiful woman in front of him. Her hair was loose, her eyes like flowing water. Her body was clearly willing, but she pretended to be reserved and threatened him. He smiled lightly, leaned forward and said, “My dear 夫人, just now in the hall, you were clearly the one who seduced me, but now you’re accusing me falsely. Let’s not beat around the bush. Your dead husband couldn’t possibly satisfy you. I already said it before, if the Beggar Gang is in trouble, I will help. I will naturally help the 嫂夫人 with her predicament.”

The 马夫人 was surprised that this demon was doing such evil deeds while still arguing so eloquently. Although she got what she wanted, she was still a little unwilling, as she was always in control of her desires. “You… you mustn’t… mustn’t twist… the… truth… I… ah.” It turned out that Hua Wu Que saw that the beautiful woman wouldn’t admit it, so he wanted to play a game of coercion. He grabbed her loose hair.

As the sky gradually brightened, Kang Min pushed open the door to her room. She saw her husband snoring loudly, and let out a long breath, putting her mind at ease. She closed the door slowly, leaned against the table and sat down. Feeling the fatigue on her body, she closed her eyes and savored the afterglow. After a while, she opened her eyes hatefully, gritting her teeth and whispering, “This two-faced bastard, don’t let me find the chance. Otherwise… otherwise I’ll make you look good.” By the end, her tone had become a little shy. This beautiful and cruel woman, who had been conquered by the Flower Demon, had clearly fallen for him. She turned to look at the husband in the room, the more she looked, the more she disliked him. She wished he would die soon.

Back in his room, Hua Wu Que let out a sigh of relief. He also secretly cursed himself for being so frustrated. Luckily, Qiao Feng and the others thought he was coming back to rest first and didn’t come to check on him. Otherwise, if this was exposed, although he wasn’t afraid of them, his future plans might be ruined.

The next day

“But my brother hasn’t been hospitable. Why is Flower贤弟 in such a hurry to leave?” Qiao Feng felt a strong connection with Hua Wu Que, and when he saw him coming to bid farewell, he couldn’t help but feel anxious.

Hua Wu Que had already made up his mind. He clasped his fist and said, “This one also wants to drink with Qiao Brother for three days and three nights. However, my master has given me orders, and I cannot disobey. There will be plenty of time in the future. Once I finish this matter, I will come back and drink with Qiao Brother until we are drunk!”

Hearing this, Qiao Feng knew he couldn’t force him. He could only tell Hua Wu Que to be careful and sent him off.

After leaving the Beggar Gang, Hua Wu Que pondered the pros and cons. Although Qiao Feng was loyal and true, and a good person to know, his background was known to too many people. Even if he tried to cover it up, it would be useless. It would be better to use him, which would minimize Qiao Feng’s painful experience.

After making up his mind, Hua Wu Que quickly left, making it seem like he had real business.

Half a month later, most of the Beggar Gang members had recovered from their injuries and left under Qiao Feng’s leadership. Only the Enforcement Elder, Bai Shi Jing, stayed behind to take care of Ma Da Yuan, who was still recovering from his serious injuries.

Ma Da Yuan was also a lover of alcohol. As soon as he recovered, he couldn’t wait to find Bai Shi Jing. He dragged the helpless White Elder to drink until they were drunk and unconscious. Bai Shi Jing tried to dissuade him, but was always forced to drink until he fell under the table.

One day, after drinking and returning home, he thought about his beautiful and delicate wife. She had refused to sleep with him because of his injuries, and he felt a warmth in his heart. He thought he had married a beautiful and considerate wife.

He pushed open the door and heard a woman’s moan, a sound he was all too familiar with. Like a thunderbolt, Ma Da Yuan rushed into the inner room. The scene before him made him stand there in shock.

He saw on his bed, two figures writhing together. A handsome young man was thrusting into the woman from behind. The woman was making soft moans. Wasn’t that his beloved wife?

He was about to strike, but the young man flicked his figure, leaving him unable to move. He could only watch helplessly as the young man leisurely walked back to the bed. With a move of his hand, his wife obediently lowered her head. He hadn’t even received this kind of treatment!

Of course, this young man was Hua Wu Que, who had been waiting for a long time and had come back. He had waited patiently for Qiao Feng and the others to leave before sneaking back. The Ma夫人 had resisted at first, but after a few times, she couldn’t resist. She wished to die in his arms.

Ma Da Yuan watched as the demon played with his wife’s hair and enjoyed treatment he hadn’t even received. The demon even took out a cloth bag from the side, rummaged around in it, and pulled out a white garment. He whispered something in his wife’s ear. The woman seemed to stand there in a daze. The demon pushed her impatiently, and she finally reacted. She trembled as she got up and changed clothes. When she looked again, her head felt like it had been hit by a hammer. It… It was a mourning garment!

Kang Min was also extremely afraid. She never imagined that this devil would be so cruel. To make her wear mourning clothes and be attacked in front of her husband, she was so cold to the bone. How could she refuse? She could only let him do whatever he wanted.

After feeling refreshed, Hua Wu Que got off the bed. Seeing the poor Ma Vice-帮主 had died of rage, he shook his head. He crushed his throat with his eagle claw hand, then went to the table and poured himself a cup of tea. He tilted his head and asked softly, “My dear 嫂夫人, you worked hard just now. Do you want a cup of water?”

Kang Min was weak and sore, but seeing the demon’s actions, she was terrified and sweating profusely. She thought the demon was going to kill her to silence her. She hastily climbed down from the bed and hugged Hua Wu Que’s leg, shouting incoherently, “Don’t kill me, don’t kill me. I’ll be good, I’ll definitely not tell anyone, you can make me do anything.”

Hua Wu Que looked at the beautiful woman at his feet. He gently brought the cup of tea to her lips and watched her tremblingly drink it. He said softly, “How could I bear to kill you, 嫂夫人? You always think highly of yourself, why are you so groveling now?”

Kang Min dared not retort, she just kowtowed in terror. Hua Wu Que slowly helped her up and stared into her eyes, asking word by word, “You always have a quick mind, you are intelligent and alert, and you are also ambitious, and you are not lacking in skills, why are you still being controlled by others?” He helped her to a stool, and before she could answer, he continued, “You have no power. Even if you temporarily use your beauty to charm men, you still have many hidden dangers. A simple dagger could end you. To be honest, I admire you, I don’t want you to die. I ask you, do you know Huang Rong?”

At first, Kang Min thought he was just talking nonsense. But gradually, she found that the demon was speaking the truth. Finally, when she heard the name Huang Rong, her eyes flashed, and she seemed to understand his meaning, but she couldn’t believe it. She just looked at him timidly.

Hua Wu Que knew the beautiful woman understood his meaning. He smiled slightly and continued to stare into her eyes. He asked word by word, “Do you want to be Huang Rong? Do you want to be the leader of the Beggar Gang?”
