Chapter 61: Yi Zhonghai's Impotence

Seeing Yi Zhonghai suffer a setback, and noticing the unfinished braised pork and stewed cabbage with vermicelli still on the table, Mrs. Jia rolled her eyes and spoke up.

"Well, Doctor Liu, since you're about to close up and a lone man and woman are staying in the same room—especially now that my daughter-in-law is a widow—it's bound to affect your reputation. How about I stay and help you clean up along with Qin Min?"

Liu Yishou looked at the fat and bloated Mrs. Jia, feeling an involuntary surge of disgust.

"Get lost. With a face like yours, just looking at you makes me sick."

"You, you, how can you talk to Sister Jia like that? Don't you know Sister Jia is your elder?" Yi Zhonghai once again tried to use the moral high ground to suppress all opposition.

Liu Yishou gave a cold smile, looking at Yi Zhonghai with a playful and mocking gaze, choosing not to confront him head-on.

"Old man, you sure know how to play, don't you? That precious treasure of yours has been played with so much it's practically ruined, and you still don't have any kids yet, do you?"

Liu Yishou stroked his chin, nodding as he mocked him.

"Judging by your condition, tomorrow that precious treasure of yours is going to stop working altogether."

What Yi Zhonghai hated most was being called childless, and his only remaining joy in life was enjoying himself with his precious asset. Now, not only did Liu Yishou call him childless, but he also cursed his most prized possession with impotence, instantly driving Yi Zhonghai's anger to its absolute peak.

Consumed by rage, Yi Zhonghai failed to notice a faint pain radiating from his lower body as Liu Yishou mocked him.

Yi Zhonghai looked at Shazhu. This time, instead of dropping subtle hints, he directly issued an order.

"Shazhu, go teach him a lesson. Let him know who's really in charge in this courtyard."

Shazhu was just Shazhu. Even though he knew he was no match for Liu Yishou, upon hearing Yi Zhonghai's command, he actually lunged forward and kicked directly at Liu Yishou—delivering none other than his infamous, devastating kick meant to cut off the family lineage.

With a slight shift of his feet, Liu Yishou effortlessly dodged Shazhu's attack along with his chair. Immediately afterward, Liu Yishou delivered a fierce kick straight to Shazhu's chest, sending him flying backward right out of the doorway.

Though Mrs. Jia was round and plump, her reflexes were surprisingly fast. Seeing Shazhu flying straight toward her, she scrambled out of the way just in time to watch him sail out of the room and crash heavily onto the ground outside.

"A eunuch actually dares to raise a hand against me. You really don't know what death means."

Hearing Liu Yishou call him a eunuch, combined with the excruciating pain in his chest from the kick, left Shazhu gasping for air, completely out of breath.

"You, you, you..."

Before he could catch his breath, Shazhu passed out cold on the spot.

Liu Yishou turned his gaze toward Yi Zhonghai and said indifferently, "Are you going to let me throw you out, or will you walk out yourself?"

Yi Zhonghai took two steps back, his expression as unsightly as it could possibly be.

"Fine, fine, fine. Just you wait."

With that, Yi Zhonghai flicked his sleeve and turned away in a huff.

Seeing this, Mrs. Jia hurriedly followed behind him, terrified that Liu Yishou might turn his anger on her next.

Seeing everyone else leave, Qin Min quickly shut the door behind them.

"Hehe, Brother Liu, you were so amazing just now. Should we go for another round?"

Liu Yishou took a sip of tea and replied, "Next time."

After pondering for a moment, Liu Yishou asked, "By the way, do you know what's going on with the household right next to mine?"

Qin Min frowned, a trace of dissatisfaction welling up inside her. Yet she knew full well that her relationship with Liu Yishou was nothing more than a transaction—she bartered her body in exchange for Liu Yishou's food.

"That's the home of Deputy Director Wang of the Red Star Rolling Mill."

After thinking it over, Qin Min ultimately decided to give Liu Yishou a warning. After all, she had already resolved to treat him as her long-term meal ticket.

"I've heard that Deputy Director Wang is someone of extraordinary status. As far as I know, not only has he married three wives, but he's also keeping a child bride."

Hearing this, Liu Yishou frowned.

"It seems this fellow surnamed Wang is truly extraordinary."

If he were merely the deputy director of a rolling mill, Liu Yishou wouldn't have thought much of it. But the fact that he could openly take so many wives in this era proved his status was far from ordinary.

"Alright, you can go back now."

Liu Yishou no longer had the heart to deal with Qin Min. He needed to think carefully and figure out a way to get his hands on Wang Lin's women.

"O-okay."

Not daring to show the slightest bit of defiance, Qin Min opened the door and left.

As soon as she stepped outside, she spotted Shazhu still sprawled on the ground, unconscious and snoring away. A look of disgust crossed her face as she turned her head and hurried back to the Jia household.

Meanwhile, inside the Shadow Realm, Wang Lin's face was dark with fury.

"Damn it, that bastard actually dares to covet my wives."

His identity was somewhat special; unless Liu Yishou broke the law, he couldn't take direct action against him.

As for the fact that Liu Yishou had caused Yi Zhonghai's impotence, there was no tangible evidence to pin on him, and at best, he could only destroy the venomous gu worm controlled by Liu Yishou.

"Huairu, you and the others should stay here for the time being. Don't go back to that beastly courtyard for now. Besides, Huairu is close to giving birth, and life is much safer here."

Naturally, Qin Huairu had no objections. She had never liked that beast-filled courtyard anyway, and given the choice, she would gladly live in the Shadow Realm for the rest of her life.

Lou Xiaoe felt the same way. In the Shadow Realm, you could eat whatever you wanted, and there were people specially assigned to prepare nutritious meals that were not only wholesome and great for skincare, but also beneficial for her unborn child. She had zero complaints whatsoever.

Though Chen Xueru was somewhat worried about her Xueru Silk Shop, she cared even less to cause Wang Lin any worry. As the saying goes, "Follow the chicken if you marry a chicken, follow the dog if you marry a dog"—naturally, she would do whatever Wang Lin told her to do.

As for Yu Fengxia, since she was Wang Lin's child bride and Liu Yishou was such a weirdo, Wang Lin genuinely feared that if he wasn't careful, Yu Fengxia might fall victim to Liu Yishou's depravity. Thus, he had no choice but to bring her into the Shadow Realm, where she was currently having the time of her life.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of that freak soon enough."

Qin Huairu and the other women smiled and nodded, placing absolute trust in Wang Lin.

"Great, make sure to find us a few more sisters when the time comes."

"Hehe, don't worry, I already have my targets."

Qin Huairu chimed in, "Who is it? It can't be Yu Li, the one who went on a blind date with Yan Jiecheng, right?"

Lou Xiaoe teased with a smile.

"I have a feeling it might be Shazhu's younger sister, He Yushui," Chen Xueru mused after a moment of thought.

"I can introduce a wife to you, Hubby. You know Xu Huizhen, right? She's gorgeous."

Wang Lin was terribly embarrassed. He never expected Chen Xueru to suggest setting him up with Xu Huizhen. Fearing the women would continue letting their imaginations run wild, he quickly interrupted.

"Stop guessing wildly. The one I'm planning to pursue is Ding Qiunan, the clinic doctor at the Red Star Machinery Factory affiliated with the Red Star Rolling Mill. She'll also be my very last wife."

Hearing that she would be the last wife, Qin Huairu's mind began to spin.

"Well, Hubby, can't you take in just one more? I have a younger sister who is also exceptionally pretty, very obedient, and extremely hardworking."
