The entire staff of Medicine King Villa barely slept that night.
Before dawn broke the next day, everyone scrambled out of bed, bathed, and changed, preparing to welcome the special envoys from the Heavenly Origin Sect… or Chen Xiao.
In the end, they first received four special envoys from the Heavenly Origin Sect, while Chen Xiao still hadn't emerged.
These four special envoys were old acquaintances. Chu Qingbai had served as the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley for twenty years.
For these twenty years, the special envoys dispatched by the Heavenly Origin Sect had always been these four.
Over the past two decades, Chu Qingbai had grown old, but the four of them remained unchanged in appearance, still possessing an ethereal aura, their robes spotless.
These four were master and disciples. The master, Tian Xingzi, wore a black Taoist robe with three white chess pieces embroidered on the chest.
The eldest disciple, Mu Chen, wore an apricot-yellow Taoist robe with three black chess pieces on the chest.
The second disciple, Mu Qing, also wore an apricot-yellow Taoist robe with two black chess pieces on the chest.
The youngest disciple, Mu Shan, wore an apricot-yellow Taoist robe with only one black chess piece.
The color of the Taoist robes, as well as the color and number of chess pieces, represented their identity and status within the Heavenly Origin Sect.
"Valley Master Chu Qingbai of Medicine King Valley respectfully welcomes the esteemed special envoys."
Chu Qingbai bowed respectfully to greet them. To avoid suspicion, he would continue to impersonate the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley today.
"Hmph, Chu Qingbai, why isn't that old fellow Zhu Hanshan out to greet us? Doesn't he know we're coming today?"
The youngest disciple, Mu Shan, snorted coldly and glared at Chu Qingbai as he scolded him.
He was merely a disciple of the lowest status and most humble background in the Heavenly Origin Sect, but this did not prevent him from acting superior and rude towards Chu Qingbai.
"Replying to the esteemed envoy, it's not that Elder Zhu was disrespectful to the esteemed envoy. It's that Elder Zhu… has already passed away."
Chu Qingbai said mournfully.
"So that old fellow is dead. Then it's nothing… Is the banquet ready?"
Mu Shan asked imperiously.
"Qingbai has prepared a banquet, awaiting the esteemed envoys' arrival. Esteemed envoy, please this way."
Chu Qingbai respectfully bowed and gestured for them to proceed.
Hearing Mu Shan's disrespectful words towards his father, Zhu Xuanqing clenched his fists, veins bulging on his forehead.
However, due to the vast disparity in strength, he eventually relaxed his clenched fists.
Most people in the Immortal Hidden Realm practiced辟谷 (bì gǔ - abstaining from grain), needing only a single pill to sustain themselves for ten days to half a month.
But there was a portion of disciples with unbridled desires, unable to relinquish their craving for food.
Tian Xingzi and his three disciples were such individuals.
Every time they visited Medicine King Valley, they would indulge in a feast.
All sorts of delicacies, fresh seafood, meat and vegetables, they would eat without restraint, whatever felt good!
These foods were things they could not obtain in the Immortal Hidden Realm.
Chu Qingbai led the special envoys to the dining hall.
"Esteemed envoys, please be seated. I will have someone serve the dishes immediately!"
Tian Xingzi nodded and was the first to sit down.
From the moment they entered Medicine King Valley, he had not uttered a single word.
It was as if speaking to the people here would defile him.
Mu Chen and Mu Qing were the same; they would not speak if they could avoid it. It was sufficient for their junior brother Mu Shan to communicate with these ants.
Mu Shan pulled Chu Qingbai aside and said in a low voice, "Did you prepare what I asked you to prepare last year? You didn't forget, did you?"
"As the esteemed envoy commanded, I naturally would not dare to forget. After the esteemed envoy has finished the banquet, I will fetch it for you."
Chu Qingbai replied softly.
Mu Shan frowned, waved his hand, and said, "What's there to wait for after the banquet? I can't wait. Go get it for me now. I want to inspect the goods first."
"Yes, esteemed envoy. I'll go now."
Chu Qingbai withdrew and returned a few minutes later, holding several of the latest tablet computers.
"Esteemed envoys, one for each of you. They are all the latest films. Please enjoy them at your leisure."
Chu Qingbai handed over the tablet computers.
Upon receiving the tablet computers, Mu Shan excitedly rubbed his hands together. After unlocking them, he skillfully opened a movie.
Soon, sounds of arousal and blushing voices emanated from within…
That's right, these tablet computers were all filled with various kinds of adult films.
Since there was no internet in the Immortal Hidden Realm, they couldn't watch them online, so Chu Qingbai had downloaded them in advance.
As for electricity… although there were no power plants in the Immortal Hidden Realm, a lightning-elemental spell could easily solve that.
The films contained within were enough for them to watch for a year…
The other three, Tian Xingzi, although outwardly calm and composed, betrayed their true thoughts with twitching eyes and frequent glances.
Seeing the four of them like this, Chu Qingbai felt both amused and indignant.
"I think the ones who should be castrated are these beasts,"
Chu Qingbai thought indignantly.
After a brief viewing, Mu Shan was very satisfied and patted Chu Qingbai on the shoulder.
"Well done, I'm very pleased!"
Mu Shan affirmed Chu Qingbai's work and then returned to enjoy the banquet.
When Mu Shan returned to the banquet table, Zhu Xiao'e happened to arrive with the dishes.
His lecherous eyes immediately lit up, and he scanned Zhu Xiao'e from head to toe.
"Little sister, stay and eat with us!"
As Zhu Xiao'e finished serving the dishes and was about to leave, Mu Shan grabbed her wrist.
This sudden development caused Zhu Xiao'e to let out a scream.
"What are you doing? Let go of me, release me!"
Zhu Xiao'e struggled desperately, but the more she struggled, the tighter Mu Shan held on.
Mu Shan himself was a bit confused. In his eyes, she should have felt honored by his invitation to dine with them, so why was she struggling?
However, it must be said, the more she struggled, the more excited Mu Shan became.
Seeing this scene, Chu Qingbai immediately cried out, "Not good, trouble has arisen!"
Since all the servants in Medicine King Valley had been dismissed and there was no one to employ, they had no choice but to have Zhu Xiao'e serve the dishes.
"Esteemed envoy, esteemed envoy, please stop. This is Zhu Xuanqing's daughter, not the kind of person you think she is."
Chu Qingbai rushed over to dissuade him, after all, Zhu Xiao'e was his future daughter-in-law.
"I don't care whose daughter she is. Being favored by this esteemed envoy is her good fortune from a past life. Little lady, stop struggling… To tell you the truth, the more you struggle, the more excited I become, hahahaha!"
Mu Shan laughed wildly.
"Esteemed envoy, this is my daughter-in-law. I implore the esteemed envoy to show mercy!"
Chu Qingbai was extremely anxious.
He had originally intended to placate these special envoys and wait for Chen Xiao to emerge, but this situation was entirely unexpected.
"Get out of here. What's wrong with her being your daughter-in-law? Chu Qingbai, you'd better recognize your place. You're nothing but a dog raised by our Heavenly Origin Sect!"
Before he finished speaking, Mu Shan kicked Chu Qingbai away, then looked at Zhu Xiao'e with a lecherous grin.
"Little lady, I don't care whose woman you are, but tonight, you will belong to the four of us masters and disciples!"
