What made them even more surprised was how close Tang Hao seemed to be to those VIPs.
Shi Xuenong and the other villagers stood there, caught in a daze. They pinched their faces to see if they were dreaming.
However, they yelped in pain.
‘Dammit, it’s not a dream! It’s real! Lil Hao knows all those people from the Capital!’
They were incredibly excited by the discovery.
“Lil Hao is truly the pride of Tang Village!” Tang Dashun slapped his thighs and said excitedly, “Are you saying that I get to be at the same party with a bunch of VIPs from the Capital? I can boast about this until the day I die!”
“Wow, Lil Tang has become a big-timer! He knows people from the Capital!” Liu Dajun and the other bosses were also very excited.
Old Master Xue was thoroughly dumbfounded.
‘A VIP from the Capital?
‘Is this some kind of joke?
‘How can this backwater place and this snotty kid invite someone from the Capital?’
Old master Xue’s body wavered. He felt light-headed, thinking that it was all too ridiculous.
His face turned pale, and he began to fear for his life.
His Xue family indeed had some connections in the mainland, but they were small fry compared to VIPs like Old Master Zhou and the others.
He remembered that he boasted about bankrupting Haotian Group and making Secretary Qian lose his job.
How was he able to achieve all that with those VIPs backing them? He should have been thankful that they did not find fault with the Xue family.
Cold sweat started dripping down his forehead. His hand on the walking stick was shaking.
Old Master Zhou and the others noticed Old Master Xue and his people.
“Who are they?” Old Master Zhou furrowed his brows. He seemed unhappy.
Secretary Qian briefly explained the incident earlier to him.
“So, that was what happened? Those Southporters are too brazen!” Old Master Zhou said coldly.
The people from the Xue family suffered a huge fright when they heard that.
“Let’s leave!” Old Master Xue said urgently.
The people sneaked away defeatedly.
Old Master Xue turned back and shot a resentful glance at Tang Hao.
“I didn’t expect the kid to have such powerful backing. I have to use covert methods now!
“Just you wait, you filthy kid, I’ll make sure that you’ll eventually die in my hands! You’ll suffer a terrible death!” He mumbled resentfully.
He had brought along all the master geomancers from Southport. He did not believe that their combined might would not be able to bring the kid down.
They arrived at the main entrance of the clubhouse.
They saw a few cars with high beams driving into the main gate and parking there.
The car doors opened, and a group of people got out. From their graying hair, those people looked to be in their fifties. They wore neat business suits and trendy hairstyles. They were the Taoist masters from Mao Mountain.
Chapter 467 - The End of the Party
“Wow, they’re so cool!”
Many people in the crowd exclaimed in surprise.
They regarded the group of people who had just arrived with shock.
Those people instantly took the spotlight. They were already old men, but they wore business suits and tied up their long hair in a trendy hairstyle. Many of them also wore sunglasses, which made them look cooler.
One or two of them would not have been as surprising, but there was a whole group of them!
“Who are those people?” The people were curious.
They were still reeling from the shock of seeing those VIPs from the Capital.
The group of Taoist masters tidied their hair and straightened their ties after they got out of the cars. They wore smiles on their faces as they walked toward Tang Hao.
At the same time, they saw a group of people walking toward them, away from the venue.
They were surprised to see those people.
Those people were slinking away defeatedly, as though they were thrown out.
They looked at the entrance of the clubhouse and noticed many people standing there. They guessed that an incident might have happened earlier.
They turned their gaze back at the group again and wondered why some of them were dressed as Taoist masters.
“Hold it right there!” Taoist Master Qian Ji shouted at the group.
The geomancers were immediately furious.
“Who the hell do you think you are? Get lost, you filthy old geezer!”
“F*ck off! I’ll cast a curse on you, damn old man!”
They finally found an outlet for their frustration and anger. They pointed their fingers at the Taoist masters and cursed them loudly.
Taoist Master Qian Ji was instantly confused.
‘Who are these fake Taoist masters to curse me?’
His eyes widened and his temper flared. He stepped forward and slapped at one of the geomancers in a Taoist robe. That person flew outward while spinning.
“You… you… how dare you hit me? Let me tell you, you’re dead meat! Don’t you know that I’m a renowned geomancer from Southport?”
That person got to his feet while covering his face.
Taoist Master Qian Ji rolled his eyes. “Geomancer? What’s so great about that?” He said disdainfully.
“Of course I’m great! Cursing you to death would be like child’s play! What’s your name, and where are you from? Tell me that if you dare!” He said viciously.
“I’m Qian Ji, from Mao Mountain!”
“Mao Mountain, right? Haha! Just you wait! I’ll curse you to…”
The geomancer suddenly choked. He realized that something was amiss.
“What… what did you just say?”
“I said I’m from Mao Mountain! You got that?”
The geomancer’s jaw dropped at that instant. He laughed awkwardly. “Haha, so we’re in the same profession!”
“Don’t put me at the same level as you, useless scum! I’m from the interior Mao Mountain! Understand?” Taoist Master Qian Ji said coldly.
The geomancer in the Taoist robe was once again dumbstruck.
His eyes opened wide and nearly fell out of their sockets. His mouth sucked in mouthfuls of cold air. His face was twisted under extreme shock.
His mind was totally blank.
‘The interior Mao Mountain?
‘Oh my god, it means that he is a true cultivator!’
His legs started shaking and his face turned pale. He looked like he was almost crying. The other geomancers were also shocked by the revelation.
Geomancers lingered on the periphery of the cultivation world. They had heard of the renowned Mao Mountain before.
Their abilities were nothing more than parlor tricks in front of true cultivators from Mao Mountain.
“Big… Brother…” The geomancer greeted him with a trembling voice.
“Who’s your Big Brother? Do you think you deserve to wear that Taoist robe? You’re a disgrace to the robe! Take it off, now!” Taoist Master Qian Ji yelled.
“Yes, yes!”
The geomancer quickly took off the Taoist robe.
“And the rest of you too!” Taoist Master Qian Ji pointed at the other geomancers in Taoist robes.
Those people took off their robes while wearing flattering smiles on their faces.
“Get lost now, all of you! If I see you sneaking around here, I’ll make sure that you die a horrible death!”
The geomancers turned around and quickly ran away as though they were escaping. A few of them did not look at where they were going. They tripped and fell on the ground, then crawled on all fours for some distance before getting to their feet and continuing to run.
The people from the Xue family as well as the people standing in front of the clubhouse were shocked when they saw that.
‘What’s going on?
‘Didn’t they say that they were master geomancers from Southport? Some even said that they were the number two or number three geomancer there. In any case, they were so disrespectful earlier. Why did they run like they were afraid of something?
‘Just who are those people? How could they scare away those master geomancers just like that!’
“Hey, masters, where are you all running? I’ve paid you good money!” Old Master Xue was nervous.
“I don’t want the money anymore. I’ll refund it to you! Let me give you a word of advice, Boss Xue, don’t think of coming back here, and don’t think of revenge. You cannot afford to cross that kid!”
A geomancer told him that and quickly ran away.
Old Master Xue was dumbfounded when he saw the shock on that person’s face.
How powerful must those people be to scare away the best geomancers in Southport?
He trembled and his face turned pale again when he looked at the group of old people in suits.
“Go, let’s go! Forget about the revenge!” He escaped defeatedly with the people behind him.
Taoist Master Qian Ji grunted coldly after the previous group of people left. He turned around, resumed smiling, and walked toward Tang Hao.
“Congratulations, Little Brother Tang, congratulations!”
The other Taoist masters also crowded around him and greeted him.
After exchanging some pleasantries, Tang Hao invited everyone inside.
The guests turned around and headed into the clubhouse while chatting with each other.
Tang Hao stood outside for a while longer before confirming that all the guests were in attendance.
Tang Hao then brought Qin Xiangyi into the hall.
The dinner party began in a cheerful atmosphere.
Glasses clinked and people laughed. The festive mood permeated the entire hall.
Tang Hao lost count of how much liquor he drank. The villager elders pulled him over to drink with the villagers. After that, he had to toast each of the Taoist masters.
That was divine liquor! Even though he had diluted it, it was stronger than usual liquor. Tang Hao felt a little tipsy after a round of drinks.
Fortunately, those who tried to outdrink him were knocked out. More than half of the Taoist masters were slumped on the table.
It was a little past nine o’clock when the party ended.
Tang Hao stood at the front door to see the guests out. He found rides for those who were already drunk and sent them away.
It was ten o’clock when the final guest left.
Standing at the front door, Tang Hao breathed a sigh of relief.
The celebration was finally over.
“It’s so troublesome to host a dinner party!” Tang Hao said.
Qin Xiangyi smiled next to him.
She drank a lot of alcohol, and her face was blushing red. Her beautiful gaze wavered, which gave her a seductive charm.
Standing under the light, she was as beautiful as a dream.
“Let’s go!”
She smiled, held Tang Hao’s hand, and led him away while chuckling.

Late at night.
The streets were deserted.
Two people walked hand in hand along those deserted streets.
The street lights cast a long shadow behind them.
They strolled along the streets for a very long time. The cool early summer wind was comfortable and refreshing.
Suddenly, they stopped walking in front of a construction site.
A skyscraper was currently under construction.
“Look, there it is! That will be Haotian Plaza, the future landmark of Westridge!” Tang Hao pointed at the construction site.
Qin Xiangyi looked toward where he was pointing and exclaimed in surprise. “So that’s the future Haotian Plaza!”
She turned around and looked at Tang Hao. “I’m so proud of you, Lil Tang!”
She leaned over and pecked Tang Hao’s cheek.
Tang Hao was surprised. He wanted to pull her close and kiss her.
She abruptly let go of her hand, took a step back, and smiled mischievously. “You’re not gonna kiss me! Catch me if you can!”
She turned around and walked away briskly.
She laughed as she walked, frequently turning around to cast seductive glances at Tang Hao.
Tang Hao chuckled. He jogged over and, after fooling around for a bit, caught her hand and pulled her into his embrace.
Her body was soft and delicate as though she had no bones. It was warm and fragrant.
Her face was so tender and pink as though it would bounce at the slightest touch.
She bit her lip and said coyly, “Tonight… let’s not go home!”
She lifted a finger and pointed it skyward. “We’ll go up there and bask under the moonlight!”
Tang Hao was surprised by her suggestion, though he was instantly aroused. “Doing it in the open? That’s an exciting idea!”
He carried her and rode the wind to the rooftop of a skyscraper.
The night became darker.
The couple whispered and moaned on top of the skyscraper, bringing some life to the dead of night.
…
The morning sun was bright and invigorating.
Sizzling sounds could be heard from the kitchen.
Tang Hao stood in front of the stove, flipping a piece of meat in the pan. The meat was white and tender. After frying it for a while, it started bubbling and emanated an incredible fragrance.
“Oh, this smells so good! What are you cooking?”
A beautiful figure came out of the room.
She wore a sheer negligee, which partially obscured her incredibly sexy body. She yawned as she walked into the kitchen.
“It’s also snake meat, but this isn’t a normal snake!” Tang Hao said.
“Oh, is it the humongous snake that you mentioned before? It already smells delicious!” Qin Xiangyi said while swallowing a mouthful of saliva.
Her eyes were sparkling with anticipation.
“It’s definitely delicious!” Tang Hao said with a smile. “Go and dress up. The food will be ready soon!”
A while later, she returned in her office clothes, which made her look active and diligent. Her slender legs were wrapped in silk stockings which gave her an extra seductive charm.
Her face was alluring even without make-up.
Tang Hao placed the meat on a plate in front of her.
She took a fork and knife, cut a small piece of meat, and put it in her mouth.
Her eyes widened. “This is delicious! Oh my god! It’s better than the meat last time!” She exclaimed.
Tang Hao looked at her and smiled. “Then you should eat more!”
After that, he got up and fried another piece.
She ate both pieces of meat. “I’m so full! I’ll be fat. What should I do?” She said coyly as she patted her stomach.
She shot a side-eye at Tang Hao. “It’s all because of you. You always fill me up!”
She blushed hard when she realized the double meaning in her words.
“Ahh, never mind. Send me to the factory!”
She stood up, went into her room, and put on some light makeup.
After sending her to the factory, Tang Hao drove to a hotel.
Half of the Taoist masters were knocked out by the alcohol at the dinner party yesterday, while the other half were in no condition to drive. They did not return to Mao Mountain but instead stayed at a nearby hotel.
Most of them were still sleeping when Tang Hao arrived. Taoist Master Qian Ji had just woken up.
Tang Hao visited the Taoist masters because he had promised to give Taoist Master Qian Ji some snake meat.
