I am The Destined Husband Chapter 4

The sun was shining brightly and the main street of Qionglin Town was bustling with activity.

Rowan, wrapped in a brocade robe with a fur collar, dozed off while leaning on his own carriage. The wheels made a squeaking sound as they moved on the road, which was really a good lullaby.

Jaxon looked at the dazed Oliver with some worry, and wrapped another blanket under the feet of the sleeping young man.

"Master, let's not go to the tower. You don't look very energetic."

After hearing this, Oliver yawned and raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"It's okay, it's okay. I'm fine. I'm just sleepy. I'll be fine once we get there."

Oliver felt guilty when he said this. He thought, how could he not be sleepy? Last night, the big turtle crawled out of the flower pond in the yard, and squatted on the shoe step under his bed as promised, telling him stories about monsters all night.

There was no much talk about what happened in the water. Most of the stories were about little monsters in the mountains, forests and rivers, and their adventures in the human world.

What he remembered most vividly was a weasel told by Wang Ba. After he achieved enlightenment, he went out to seek the title of "human". As a result, he wandered around the county town in the human world for a long time, but could not find a person with great virtue who could give him the title of "human".

"What? What is the meaning of "conferring"? Do we need to find a virtuous person?"

The turtle speaks decent "human language" and authentic Mandarin, which is much better than other little monsters.

"Fengzheng means that when mountain spirits and monsters reach a certain level of cultivation, they need recognition and good fortune. If they succeed, they will transform into human form and reach another level. If they fail, then their cultivation will be in vain. Thousands of years of hard work will be gone in one day."

"Ah? It's not easy for you either." Oliver sighed while lying in the quilt.

The turtle turned over his shell, basking in the bright moonlight coming through the small window, and nodded seriously, "It's very difficult."

"Can ordinary people get a seal? I'll give you one!"

Wang Ba waved his hands quickly, "You can't give it to random people. People with great virtues and those who practice Taoism have strong fates. They can be worshipped by the spirits and can judge and verify."

"I see. What shall we do with the weasel?"

"Oh, that devil, seeing that his hundred years of hard work was about to fail, he felt depressed and ate all the chickens in the county town at night."

"Wow! You can eat a lot."

Wang Ba shook his head. "At dawn, the people were furious and reported to the county government. But the deadline for the weasel to be convicted was approaching, and he was in a panic because he was a chicken thief and everyone wanted to punish him. He had no choice but to go directly to the county magistrate who was in court. When the county magistrate saw that the culprit had fallen into his trap, he called all the victims to come."

"Well, in the end, was it sealed?" It sounded a little suspenseful.

"Alas, the county magistrate's fate was not good. He only succeeded halfway. Xiao Huang became a rat with a human body and had to work for the family whose chickens were stolen to pay off the debt. It was hard. This shows that there are too many temptations in the world, and it is difficult for monsters to live."

Oliver looked at the giant turtle monster with a sad look on his face and felt that people didn't have to be afraid of monsters. Maybe monsters were more afraid of people.

"Then what are you going to do?" Oliver thought that he had put so many snacks into the pond yesterday, but they all disappeared in the morning. This showed that there were quite a few little monsters. How could he confer the title of lord on them all?

There are not so many virtuous people in the world. Could it be that if he catches one, he will take advantage of him as much as he can? If he thinks this way, doesn't it mean that there are monsters lining up in front of him every day waiting to be crowned? People with great virtues are also miserable...

Oliver was lost in thought when Wang Ba said proudly, "We have adults!"

But when it came to their "giant golden dragon shining brightly" that fell from the sky and was struck by lightning, the little demon became tight-lipped and refused to say anything more. Instead, he pointed at Oliver and asked him questions.

"Sir, how are you looking? Is there any trace of our master?"

Oliver also felt guilty. He had made a good promise that day, but after searching everywhere, including the entire Su Mansion, he couldn't find any trace of the "master".

So, today, at the invitation of his cousin, he went out to Denggao Pavilion. He could also look around in Qionglin Town outside the Su Mansion, so as not to let the little monsters down.

Unfortunately, he slept too late last night and felt drowsy all the way. Only when he arrived at Denggao Pavilion and the carriage stopped did Rowan come to his senses.

As soon as he got off the car, the young man, who had never gone out for many years, was stunned by the tall building in front of him. The tall building stood in the most central position of Qionglin Town, with carved railings and painted pillars, so exquisite. The building was bustling with noise and drums and music playing, it was really a magnificent sight.

Rowan looked at the plaque made of gold powder in front of him, on which were written the three characters "Climb the High Tower". He suddenly became poetic, and he flicked his wide sleeves, muttering to himself.

"Oh, it's really a hundred-foot building with six curved railings, and the curtains are waving like flowing water. The floating clouds have already reflected the northwest of the building, and I am waiting for the moon to the west of the clouds!"

Jaxon put away the bench under the carriage and listened to their young master talking a lot. His eyes revealed a lack of knowledge, so he just scratched his ears and asked a stupid question.

"What?"

Rowan sighed and patted the servant's shoulder.

"I said, the building is really tall..."

"Oh oh." Jaxon suddenly realized, then nodded in agreement.

"Master, you haven't been here in the past few years because of poor health. The building was only renovated two years ago. It wasn't very high before. Now it has been renovated and has five floors. Each floor has a different business. The new boss is a singer who is very beautiful."

After saying that, Jaxon leaned close to the young master and whispered, "I heard that you can still go looking for flowers and willows on the fifth floor!"

Oliver was surprised, and then glanced at his servant, "You kid, I'm afraid you've been there before."

Jaxon shook his head quickly, "Only the well-known and influential people can go up to the fifth floor. Ordinary people can't go up there."

While the two were talking, they were welcomed in by the shopkeeper at the door. When the shopkeeper took one look at the Su Mansion's luxurious carriage and Oliver's gorgeous clothes, he knew that this was a person of status.

"Hey, young master, are you going to have a drink or tea, listen to music or appreciate the flowers?"

Rowan had never dealt with such passionate questioning, so he quickly took out Su Ming's invitation from his sleeve and said, "Looking for someone, looking for someone!"

"So you are Mr. Ming's guest. Come on, please go to the third floor!"

As he spoke, Rowan was taken up the stairs to the fourth floor. During the walk, he curiously glanced at the floors beside him. He saw that the first floor was for eating and drinking, the second floor was for shaking dice, and the third floor was for the banquet, with a stage for singing and dancing.

Su Mingzheng was being asked to toast. Oliver hesitated for a while, and seeing that there were too many people, he put down his hand in disappointment. He did not go forward to say hello, but found an empty seat and sat down.

However, as soon as he entered the door, many people had noticed that Young Master Su was really handsome and wanted to talk to him, but most of them did not know this Young Master Su who had not been out for a long time.

So someone went to inquire about the host of the banquet. Su Ming had just finished a pot of wine when he looked at the table in the corner. He exclaimed in his heart, "Wow!" This young man is so young. Whose family is he from? Why have I never seen him before?

Rowan was like a beautiful lady, sitting under the window with a teacup in her hand, looking reserved.

It was not until Su Ming came to pay his respects and the two were introduced to each other that Su Ming remembered that this was his cousin's youngest son Rowan!

He had seen him once when he went to visit his uncle a few years ago, but at that time the handsome young man in front of him had not yet grown up and was sickly. Now he has really become a treasure and is unrecognizable.

As soon as Su Ming got drunk, he pulled Oliver into the crowd and introduced him to everyone at the banquet, "This is my younger brother. How about I invite you all to come and see him!"

Oliver also found it fresh and lively!

So when others toasted him, he bowed to them. Fortunately, no one forced him to drink. He was feeling lucky, but he didn't know that young Master Su was sickly and delicate, and was well known throughout the whole Qionglin Town. The father and son of the Su family had spent a lot of money on famous doctors and famous medicines over the years, and they managed to support a little son who was snatched back from the gates of hell.

No one dared to force him to drink. If anything happened, Boss Su would tear them apart.

Oliver found everything new and was led to the main table. Many of the people at the table were the eldest brothers and uncles of the Su family, who asked him some common questions in a friendly manner.

"Little brother, when will your elder brother come back? He still owes me a drink."

Oliver was given a bowl full of fish meat, and now his mouth was full of oil. He was distracted and talking, "Well, my elder brother and father wrote to say that it will be soon, but I won't be able to make it in time for my cousin's wedding, so they asked me to come to Yuejin Boli."

The older uncle at the main seat waved his hands and said, "Tell them to stop eating, or they will choke."

Everyone laughed. Some of the men who were drinking thought to themselves, Old Man Su doesn't look that good, his eldest son is also very sturdy, but this youngest son is very delicate and gentle, he must be like his late wife, hey! He is really good at giving birth.

But while Oliver was eating, he still remembered the entrustment of the little monsters in his heart. He looked around with his peach blossom eyes and looked at everyone sitting there. Only the screen behind the dancer on the high platform blocked his view so much that he could not see clearly.

After three rounds of drinks, the singing girls and dancers came down the stage with fragrance, moving among the guests, talking and laughing sweetly. Some were even embraced by the guests. Only then did Oliver realize that all the guests present seemed to be men.

Su Ming even held the lead dancer and drank recklessly, looking very romantic.

Oliver frowned as she watched. Wasn't this cousin going to get married? How could he be so disrespectful? Wasn't he letting down the girl?

Most of the male guests at the main table were also attracted over, leaving a large space around Oliver. Fortunately, Jaxon was very protective and no one sat close to his young master's arms. Jaxon looked at the plump and beautiful girls, fearing that the girls would accidentally break his young master's thighs...

At this time, the tune of the music group changed, the pipa was played even more loudly, and a woman with a beautiful figure walked out from behind the screen. There was a burst of gasps and noise at the banquet.

"Isn't this Miss Chaoyun?"

"Well done, Su Ming, you are so prestigious that even the owner of Denggao Pavilion, Miss Chaoyun, asked you to come!"

Su Ming was also confused. He didn't have that ability. But he was drunk and was flattered, so he didn't care about it.

Oliver also looked up. The woman had fair hair and fragrant cheeks, and her bun on her head was covered with pearls and jade. She looked very charming.

But he didn't pay attention to these, the young master just sighed.

"Wow, the pearls on this girl's head are so big!"

Chaoyun had a pair of pink shell pearls in her hair, and a large pearl on her temples that was shining brightly and dazzlingly.

But Jaxon could no longer hear what their young master was saying as he had already been completely bewitched by Chaoyun.

The scene became more lively. At this time, a woman in red poured a bowl of tea on Oliver's back, scalding her and making her scream "ouch". The woman had a delicate body and kept apologizing. Oliver was afraid that the host would blame her, so she said it was not a big deal.

Jaxon quickly took off Oliver's outer shirt soaked in hot tea, but her inner shirt was also wet. Just as he was getting angry, he saw Chaoyun, who had always ignored him, walk lightly in front of Oliver.

"What's your name, young master? My maids are clumsy and ungainly. Why don't you come with me upstairs to change clothes as a token of my apology?"

Chaoyun spoke softly. Before Oliver could retort that it was not necessary and that he could just go back to the mansion, Su Ming and others beside him started to make a noise and pushed Oliver upstairs, saying something else, "This is my brother, his surname is Su, and his name is Oliver. Thanks to Miss Chaoyun for not abandoning him, we brothers will take him upstairs right now!"

After Oliver was hurriedly pushed upstairs, her cousins ​​were taken away by the maids, leaving her alone in a magnificent brocade room. Everything was decorated with pearls, even the lamp holders were made of gold-rimmed mother-of-pearl.

Amidst the luxury, the only thing that was hung on the soft white wall was a light painting of a beauty, which was delicately painted with rich emotions and was well cared for.

The pink incense candles behind the pearl curtain emitted wisps of green smoke, the smell was so fragrant that it was sickening.

There was no one in the room. Oliver was about to go out, but was stopped by a maid, who told her to wait for clothes to arrive for her husband to change.

If a man had tried to stop him, Oliver would have rushed forward. However, there were women in front of the door, all of whom were very strong. He rarely saw female guests and was shy, so he was afraid of offending them. As a result, he was really trapped here and didn't even know where to find Jaxon.

The young master was at a loss, and the owner of Denggao Pavilion, Chao Yun, narrowed his eyes and asked the maid beside him, "Are you dizzy?"

The maid looked unhappy, "No, it's strange, that's the wax made from your pearl powder."

Chao Yun lowered his head and thought, "Well, he is surrounded by demonic aura, so my guess is correct. I will go and test him myself. For Zhang Lang, I will accept it regardless of life or death."

Oliver was just wondering when she saw the shopkeeper Chao Yun leisurely walk in. She was holding a scholar's robe and was very polite, so Oliver couldn't refuse.

As they were talking, they were about to change the young master's clothes, but Oliver waved her hand and said, "I'll do it myself. Don't bother me, sister."

But Chaoyun didn't listen to him. When she handed over the clothes, she shrunk her pupils and reached out to touch Oliver's chest.

However, unexpectedly, with a "hum" sound and the roar of an angry dragon, Oliver's whole body flashed with golden light, and Chao Yun was bounced out in an instant, hitting the wall with a "bang", rolling to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and the pearls on his head turned darker.

Those so-called maids who were close were affected by the residual power of the golden light, and they cried out "Ah!" and turned into clam shells of various colors, falling to the ground with a "crackling" sound. Those who were far away fled madly.

But there is a mystery about this building. No one downstairs can hear the loud noise coming from upstairs.

There was a bright golden light in the room, and suddenly there was a thunderbolt outside the room. The golden light protecting Oliver's body then quietly dissipated.

Looking again at this time, the only human-shaped person left in the room was the unconscious Chao Yun.

There was also Rowan, who was being held up by a force, sleeping with his eyes closed, floating in the air.

The sun was shining brightly in the sky above Qionglin Town, but it quickly turned cloudy. Under the dark clouds, the incense room on the high building was filled with mist.

A tall, dark figure appeared in the misty water fog, stretched out his arms, picked up the sleeping Young Master Su, and then disappeared into the house, leaving only the room filled with lingering water vapor.
