A few days later.
Chunyi Pavilion.
The sky here is not always dark like Zhou Mansion. Although they are both in the Beishan Mine, the climate is pleasant and it is like spring all year round.
No wonder Zhou Cang likes to live in such a place, because a paradise like the terrace of the first mining area is not even a hut in front of Chunyi Pavilion.
Ever since Zhou Cang became the leader of the Beishan Mine more than ten years ago, he had the Chunyi Pavilion built outside the mining area.
The eighteen beauties and hundreds of maids and servants in the pavilion were all carefully selected by him from countless mining slaves over the past ten years.
Therefore, Zhou Cang is very concerned about Chunyi Pavilion. Usually, people who are not trustworthy by him, or people with a distinguished status and special status, are not qualified to enter here.
However, out of his "love" for all the beauties in Chunyi Pavilion, Zhou Cang gave them inexhaustible wealth. Of course, he also made a small request for these beauties.
That is, from the day they enter Chunyi Pavilion, all beauties will never be able to leave here again, unless they want to become a corpse.
Zhou Ying always has a long face every time she comes here, scanning everything around her with helpless eyes, including the women here.
Although she knew that not all of these women came here willingly, they had stayed in Chunyi Pavilion for a long time, and all of them showed a disturbing depravity intentionally or unintentionally.
As a practitioner in the martial arts realm, Zhou Ying does not believe that he can still go far in his cultivation path if he is always immersed in such decay and erosion.
However, the strange thing is that in such an environment, it only took Zhou Cang ten years to practice from the second level of martial arts to the current peak of the third level of martial arts.
Not only did Jackal fail to understand this, but even as his biological sister, Zhou Ying was equally confused.
However, Zhou Ying came alone this time. Of course, there was something very important that she had to tell her brother Zhou Cang in person. But what she didn't expect was that she had already walked into the hall, and her brother was still keeping an eye on a concubine. Catch and hold on.
Seeing the gorgeous woman being pinned down on the couch by her elder brother, Zhou Ying really couldn't figure out what was wrong with him?
Not to mention that he would make these "little sweethearts" sad and shed tears on a normal day, even if they just bumped into each other, he would feel distressed for a long time.
Therefore, Zhou Ying looked at the two disheveled people and said helplessly.
"Would you please stop for a moment? I have something to say."
Zhou Cang, who was disturbed by Zhou Ying's arrival, pushed his concubine to the ground and said impatiently.
"Even you come to bully me. I, Zhou Cang, have been unlucky for eight lifetimes. Can't you guys let me release the grievances in my heart first?"
Hearing his brother's complaints, Zhou Ying guessed that it must be because his previous discussion with Su Xuan about the Lumen Stone deal had failed, so he vented his grievances on this concubine.
But Zhou Ying was not in the mood to pity other people now. She glanced at the concubine who fell on the ground and kept soothing her bruises, and said coldly.
"You go down first."
After hearing Zhou Ying's order, the concubine quickly climbed to the couch, picked up the soft yarn scattered on the ground, and quickly left the hall.
Zhou Cang calmed down his irritable mood at this time, looked at Zhou Ying and asked.
"How's the situation over there at the mine?"
Zhou Ying's mouth twitched slightly when she heard this, then she turned around and sat on a chair nearby, and replied angrily.
"Get dressed first, it's disgusting."
When Zhou Cang heard this, he immediately wanted to get angry again, but in front of Zhou Ying, no matter how angry he was, he had to hold back.
"Okay, okay, I can't wear it."
As he spoke, Zhou Cang slowly put on his robe and tied his belt, while Zhou Ying shook her head helplessly and sighed.
"Brother, can you be a bit promising? You're just a coward. Do you need to be so humble every time?"
After Zhou Cang got dressed, he sat down on the edge of the couch and said with a look of despair.
"She is simply not human."
It was rare for Zhou Ying to hear her eldest brother being tough on that woman, so she nodded and said.
"She is not a human being, she is a vixen."
Unexpectedly, Zhou Cang immediately corrected her and said.
"No, she is not a vixen, she is the only goddess in my heart, Zhou Cang! Every time I see her, I can no longer control my impulse towards her.
However, how could I tarnish her inviolable image of the Holy Spirit in my heart, so I felt uncomfortable and had to vent all my desires on others.
Although this is somewhat unfair to my little beauties, as my Zhou Cang women, they should bear this. "
Hearing this, Zhou Ying suddenly felt speechless for her naivety. She thought she had helped her brother get through Su Xuan's difficulty last time, but who knew he would fall again so quickly.
Immediately, Zhou Ying asked with a livid face.
"You shouldn't have agreed to her conditions, right?"
After hearing this, Zhou Cang woke up from his trance and answered seriously.
"How is it possible? Although I, Zhou Cang, am greedy for her beauty, I am not stupid yet."
"Really? When did you have the backbone in front of her? I don't even know!"
Seeing the disdainful look on his sister's face, Zhou Cang smiled awkwardly.
"Okay, I agreed to some conditions. However, she said that all the lumen stones in our mining area must be traded through their auction house. I did not agree to this matter."
"Oh, what did you promise her?"
Zhou Ying had a bad premonition because Yun Yan had sent someone to inform him early in the morning that the transaction was on hold. Unexpectedly, he was still tricked by Su Xuan. Obviously, the matter was definitely not that simple.
As expected, Zhou Cang then explained.
"I promised her that the consignment price of the Lumen Stone would remain the same as before..."
"What? Brother, do you know what you did!"
When Zhou Ying heard this, she immediately stood up from her chair, pointed at Zhou Cang and said sternly.
"You know, that Hu Meizi deceived us badly last time. She said that fifty gold pieces per piece couldn't be sold at all, and thirty gold pieces was already the limit.
However, Zhu Liren personally told Brother Yan that someone had purchased a large number of lumen stones from Tianque at a price of nearly one hundred gold each.
So, do you still think that vixen is really dealing with us fairly? She just treated us like a pig to be slaughtered. "
"This... this is impossible. There are a lot of lumen stones in our mining area. Why have I never heard that this kind of stone is valuable before?"
"That's because Tianque deliberately blocked the news about Luming Stone."
Zhou Cang asked even more puzzled upon hearing this.
"Why are they doing this?"
Zhou Ying sighed immediately.
"That's because we don't know that in addition to providing limited light to practitioners in the Night Continent, the Lumen Stone is also one of the necessary materials for refining storage treasures."
It was only then that Zhou Cang understood the key to the whole matter. Obviously, he knew very little about the art of weapon refining, otherwise he would not have made such a serious mistake.
However, the auction house has unparalleled prestige and authority within the Third Heaven, not to mention that this time it was Su Xuan who took action in person.
Now, he has agreed to Su Xuan's conditions. If he wants to go back on his word again, even if Su Xuan does not pursue him, I am afraid that his old face will be criticized by thousands of people and cast aside by thousands of people in the third heaven.
What's more, Su Xuan still has a group of loyal admirers in the heaven who are willing to go to hell for her. It is not difficult for Zhou Cang to imagine that if he dares to do this, Su Xuan will make his Beishan mine uneasy from now on with just one look. .
When he thought of this, Zhou Cang couldn't help but shudder.
"Oh, it's all my fault that I fell into her trap because of my carelessness."
Hearing this, Zhou Ying raised the corners of her mouth slightly, looked at Zhou Cang questioningly, and asked with a half-smile.
"I said, brother, when you met Su Xuan, I'm afraid you even lost your bones, and you said you were careless. I think you were just obsessed with sex, and you were tricked by that vixen.
And you have given so much to her, so let me ask you what exactly you got. Did she let you touch her, or is she willing to be your concubine? "
As soon as Zhou Ying said these words, Zhou Cang was suddenly frightened and broke into a cold sweat. He suddenly stood up, raised his hand to cover Zhou Ying's mouth, and said quickly.
"Be careful what you say. Walls have ears. If she hears this, do you still want to live?"
However, Zhou Ying is angry now, so she is not afraid of anything, not to mention she also knows that this Chunyi Pavilion is not Zhou's mansion, and not everyone can come in.
Therefore, of course she can say whatever she wants in Chunyi Pavilion. As for the women in the pavilion, if anyone dares to step out of Chunyi Pavilion, she will be cut into pieces. Everyone knows this.
So Zhou Ying stretched out her hand to push Zhou Cang away and said with disdain.
"Brother Yan has already said that Su Xuan has kept the consignment price of our lumen stone so low. I should just scold her a few times, but you are so timid, brother. I think you are not as courageous as Brother Yan. "
Hearing this, Zhou Cang shook his head and said coldly.
"That kid's hair hasn't even grown yet. He knows nothing. He has never experienced the cruelty and cold-bloodedness of this world. It's only a hairy girl like you who believes in such nonsense because you are obsessed with him.
However, I tell you, Ying'er, although that kid has a good skin, you can just play with him, but you must not be sincere, let alone fool around with him, you know! "
Hearing this, Zhou Ying's heart sank. It seemed that Yun Yan's previous guess was right. Jackal and Big Brother didn't want to treat him as one of their own from the beginning. They were just using him.
But Zhou Ying knew very well that she had fallen in love with Yun Yan, and the relationship between her and Yun Yan was just as her eldest brother feared, they truly loved each other.
Seeing his sister's expression in a daze, with her expression alternately ashamed and a little reluctant, Zhou Cang immediately guessed the reason.
Then, he said to Zhou Ying with a serious face.
"Don't forget, he was the one who killed Hu Bao. If something goes wrong with Jackal, then he must be Jackal's scapegoat. Therefore, I advise you not to be too obsessed with him."
Although Zhou Cang was very harsh on his sister, he loved Zhou Ying very much in his heart. Otherwise, with Zhou Ying's temper, Zhou Cang would not tolerate her being so presumptuous.
Seeing Zhou Ying's silence, Zhou Cang knew that she still needed time to accept this reality. However, fortunately, he understood Zhou Ying's character very well. When she got tired of playing with Yun Yan, he could find any reason to kill the boy. That's it.
So, Zhou Cang said to Zhou Ying in a gentle tone.
"Ying'er, don't be sad. You're just a man. I'll help you find some good-looking young men later. You can do whatever you want."
However, after he finished saying this, Zhou Ying slowly raised her head, looked at Zhou Cang with a strange look and said.
"Brother, I am already Brother Yan's woman, so he will not be anyone's scapegoat, including Jackal."
"Yinger, what do you mean?"
"What I mean is, unless I die, none of you can touch him!"
