It was just talking about Erlang Shen fighting with Monkey King. Old Zhou couldn't help but say, "Little Tang, there's one thing I don't quite understand. What's the meaning of sending 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals?"
Tang Xiaoyu asked, "Do you think the heavenly soldiers and generals are very weak, like ants?"
"Yeah!"
Tang Xiaoyu smiled, "Aren't those who can ascend in our immortal cultivation world the peerless geniuses among humans?"
"Yes!"
"These people went to Heavenly Palace and didn't even qualify to guard the gates. Does this help you understand what kind of existences the heavenly soldiers are?"
"So strong. How strong must Monkey King be?!"
Tang Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Is Monkey King strong? I don't think he's strong at all. When I finish telling you about the Primordial Chaos, you'll know what's going on."
Subsequently, Tang Xiaoyu told the whole story of Havoc in Heaven. The people didn't worship Monkey King that much, because he was a demon clan, and a rebel demon clan at that.
"Don't take this story seriously! It's just a mythical story made up by a friend of mine." Tang Xiaoyu explained.
Everyone said they didn't take it seriously, but their expressions told Tang Xiaoyu that they all took it seriously.
"Alright, that's it for today. I have to get off work. Come back tomorrow if you have time to continue listening!"
"Also, don't forget to bring your friends and family!"
After saying that, Tang Xiaoyu started to pack up.
Old Zhou said, "I'll definitely come back tomorrow, but I don't know about them."
"We'll definitely come!"
A group of people chatted loudly and merrily. Tang Xiaoyu went to Lu Changchun and asked, "Did you count the money?"
"Counted it a while ago."
"Alright. Take out one third for the boss, then take out another one third of our share for Xiao Lian."
"No problem."
Then Lu Changchun gave the money to the boss. The boss just nodded his head and urged, "Little Tang, you two come early tomorrow to teach Xiao Lian well."
"Don't worry, Boss!"
When they gave Xiao Lian several hundred taels of silver, Xiao Lian was just about to refuse it, but seeing Tang Xiaoyu's face suddenly turn unpleasant, she quickly changed her words, "Thank you, Brother Tang."
"You need to learn to speak and act like this, understand?"
"Understood!"
Tang Xiaoyu patted Xiao Lian's shoulder, "Go back quickly!"
"Alright, I'll go back first then. See you tomorrow, Brother Tang."
"See you tomorrow."
After Xiao Lian left, Tang Xiaoyu bid farewell to everyone present before leaving.
"Senior Sister, let's catch up to him." Wang Ziyan said softly.
But before they could get up, they were scared to move by a voice.
"Where do you think you're going? Come back to the sect with me!"
Bowing their heads, they replied, "Yes, Second Master Uncle."
After eating a good meal, Tang Xiaoyu and Lu Changchun headed towards Orchid Lodge.
Orchid didn't recognize Lu Changchun and almost mistook Tang Xiaoyu for someone else.
"Little rascal, I didn't expect you to be so young and quite decent-looking."
Tang Xiaoyu really wanted to find a mirror and see if he looked that bad!
"Thank you for Sister Orchid's praise."
Orchid laughed and scolded, "You really have thick skin. I was just being polite with you."
Tang Xiaoyu didn't want to talk to her anymore.
Soon the two got busy with their own things. Thinking that the kind of people who would come to the brothel were mostly prodigal sons, Tang Xiaoyu had prepared some rhythmic music yesterday.
In Qingyun Sword Sect, Wang Ziyan and the others followed behind Old Zhou, not even daring to breathe loudly.
Old Zhou was in a very good mood today. He hummed a tune, swaying as he walked in front.
Whenever disciples greeted him, he would smile and nod back.
As he walked, he suddenly felt something was off. Looking back, he was shocked.
"Why are you guys following me? Get back to your cultivation!"
"We'll scram right away, scram this instant!"
Seeing them run far away, Old Zhou said unsatisfied, "Why is there such a huge gap between people? Look at that little girl Xiao Xue, not to mention her talents, she's also very hardworking."
"And look at these people, thinking about love and all that crap all day long."
"Forget it. I still need to go learn qin music from Little Tang tomorrow! That's what really matters."
After grumbling, Old Zhou happily went back to the mountain peak he was in charge of.
Wang Ziyan and the others ran quite a distance before stopping. Wang Ziyan patted her chest and said, "Scared me to death, I thought Second Master Uncle was going to punish us!"
Eldest Senior Brother said, "Let's just keep a low profile these days. Don't leave the sect if nothing's up."
"Got it, Eldest Senior Brother."
Wang Ziyan disagreed, "No way! I still have to listen to Brother Xiaoyu's storytelling tomorrow!"
The others glanced at her and said in unison, "Do whatever you want."
"Humph! Ignoring you all!" She said angrily before returning to her own yard in a huff.
Second Senior Brother said, "Yet another romantic tribulation!"
Eldest Senior Brother shook his head. "Can't call it a romantic tribulation. There's just one more lovesick person."
Everyone nodded vigorously in agreement.
Right now, Tang Xiaoyu was testing the music, but felt something was missing.
"Uncle, turn the volume up higher until I have to shout to hear myself speak."
"So bossy. Now a Nascent Soul cultivator has become your underling."
"Uncle, don't fuss over such details. Study it more thoroughly and make it into a smarter magic treasure, won't you have free time then?"
Lu Changchun glared at him. "Feels like you think cultivators are omnipotent, able to handle anything with just words."
Tang Xiaoyu smiled apologetically. "Don't fuss over such tiny details. I'll let you sing a couple more songs later."
"Humph! Any other requests? Say them quickly."
Tang Xiaoyu thought for a bit. "Let me test the effect first."
When it seemed about right, Tang Xiaoyu picked up the microphone, "Music start."
The projection and music started simultaneously.
"I admit, it's all the moon's fault."
But after singing a couple lines, Tang Xiaoyu felt something was off and stopped.
"What's wrong?"
"Something's not right. Give me a moment to remember."
Tang Xiaoyu closed his eyes to recall his past memories of rap battles.
"I know. The lighting is wrong. I also can't seem to find the proper feeling myself."
"Uncle, turn off all the lights in the hall. I'll explain why later."
After the lights were off: "Uncle, take out a few glowing things and let them shine erratically. Different colors are best."
Then Tang Xiaoyu also adjusted the positions and speed. Feeling it was about right, he took a jar of wine.
"What are you trying to do?"
"Without drinking some wine, I won't have that kind of crazy feeling. It improves just after getting slightly tipsy, try it if you don't believe me."
"You'll pass out after one mouthful of this wine. If you want to drink, drink the mortal kind of wine."
Tang Xiaoyu slapped his forehead. "Forgot about that. Let me go fetch some now."
Lu Changchun threw him a jar of wine. "Drink this."
Tang Xiaoyu examined the wine. "Uncle, have you been secretly living in luxury every day behind my back?"
Lu Changchun blushed. "Don't fuss over such details."
"Humph~"
Then Tang Xiaoyu downed a few big gulps. After waiting a bit, he downed some more. Feeling a little dizzy, he knew the alcohol was kicking in, reaching just the right level.
After waiting for a bit, sensing it should be about right, Tang Xiaoyu walked onto the stage, picked up the mic and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, good evening and welcome to Orchid Lodge."
"Let's kick off tonight's revelry with a song, 'It's All the Moon's Fault'."
"Are you ready?"
"One"
"Two"
"Three"
At the same time, he signaled Lu Changchun. Don't ask if he could see it.
The projection, lights and music started simultaneously.
"I admit, it's all the moon's fault. I admit, it's the moon's fault."
As Tang Xiaoyu sang, he also gyrated along with the music.
Lu Changchun thought Tang Xiaoyu was sick and couldn't help shaking his own body to the music under Tang Xiaoyu's lead.
"Uncle, take a mouthful of wine, get seven parts drunk and three parts sober. You'll feel it then. Try and see if you don't believe me."
"Let me try too." Saying so, he took out a jar of wine from his storage ring, and downed half the jar in one go.
"If you wanna shake it, shake together with me."
Then Lu Changchun also went on stage, imitating Tang Xiaoyu's moves and danced along.
A drunk person becomes bolder, shameless even, no longer needing coaching.
At a tavern not far from Orchid Lodge, several young masters who had drunk themselves silly were yelling loudly on the streets, "Let's go, let's go drink elsewhere. Drinks on me today!"
"Think I lack money? I'll foot the bill tonight, anyone who can keep up with my drinking, I'll drink with them desperately!"
"Drinks are on me tonight!"
"Piss off. Don't treat me like a brother anymore!"
"How about we go to Orchid Lodge up ahead?"
"Still need the woman's consent just to fool around a bit. What's the point of going?"
"Yes, let's go to our usual place."
However, as they passed by Orchid Lodge, they were attracted by the lively music coming from inside.
Unable to resist, they wanted to go inside and see what was going on.
