Zhang San, please behave yourself!

Little Fox heard her cousin calling her and immediately ran over. Looking in the direction of her cousin's gaze, she saw Zhang San retracting his hand from the widow's neckline.

"Men are all the same! Humph!"

Her cousin's tone was full of dissatisfaction, disdain, anger, and even a bit of trembling and coldness, obviously angered to the core.

The little white fox also nodded in agreement.

"Indeed, men like that part of a woman! I must try harder too!"

Cousin: ???

Is that what I meant?

Her cousin held her forehead, feeling that this younger cousin was beyond saving.

No wonder her uncle had been drinking with the Tiger Demon from Mingzhi Mountain every day lately, claiming it was to catch up with old friends, but it seemed more like he was drowing his sorrows in liquor.

At this moment, inside a cave at the mountain summit, the Old Fox was drinking with the Tiger Demon, clinking cup after cup.

"Tiger Brother, I owe you one. If it weren't for you lending me that thing back then, how could I have returned to the Northeast and smoothly taken over the entire family? For that alone, I toast to you!"

"Brother Hu, you are too kind. We're brothers, you and I. I still remember when we first met, you were filing your claws. It was the first time I knew claws could not only be bitten but also filed."

The two demons shared bowl after bowl, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

But amidst the laughter, the Old Fox suddenly found tears welling up in his eyes.

"Brother Hu, what's the matter?"

"I'm upset... My daughter is so young... and she's... she's... she's already in an early romance! And with a stinking human boy at that! If I ever lay my eyes on that little stink, I'll eat him alive!"

The Tiger Demon knew his good friend the Old Fox rarely killed.

Not to mention killing, when they went to a nearby small county town to steal chickens together, it was always he who killed the chickens, while the Old Fox simply waited to eat.

Such an honest demon, wanting to eat a human alive, must mean that human boy is utterly despicable!

"You'll really eat him alive?"

"Really eat him alive!"

"Without garlic?"

"Without garlic!"

"In that case, this human boy must be exceptionally detestable! If I encounter him, I'll eat half and leave half for you!"

"Thanks, Tiger Brother!"

The two demons clinked their bowls again, but as they drank, the Tiger Demon started to cry as well.

"Your daughter is about to have a romance, and I haven't even found a wife. To this day, I'm still..."

The words "old bachelor" carried too much weight, so the Tiger Demon couldn't finish his sentence, only letting tears fall drop by drop.

Everyone knows tiger bone strengthens men, but they don't realize that tigers themselves can also feel pent-up!

At this moment, the Old Fox felt somewhat awkward, not knowing how to console him.

...

Zhang San and his group settled down in a small county town nearby — Jingyang County.

Having just found a courtyard to rent, Zhang San gathered everyone together.

Although many didn't understand why they didn't just stay at an inn and insisted on renting a place, Zhang San was the team leader, and the leader's orders are to be followed.

"Gentlemen, do you remember the funeral procession we saw today? That widow was fishy!"

Zhang San got straight to the point, startling everyone.

With a sly smile, Ling asked, "Was it the feel that was off?"

Zhang San grinned, "Sister Ling, stop it, I may seem mature, but am I, Wang Ziteng, the kind of man who gropes a widow at sight?"

For some reason, Wang Ziteng felt that when Zhang San said that, it made him sound exactly like that kind of man.

But why the hell are you using my name!

This sense of involvement is not good at all!

"I vaguely saw that she was wearing a red dress inside, but I wasn't sure. So, I took the opportunity to get closer, then reached in and lifted the clothing to take a peek."

"Hmm... just one peek, what kind of eyes do you all have! I, Wang Ziteng, swear by the ancestral spirits of the Wang Family, I really only looked once!"

"The wife wearing a red dress inside while burying her husband, do you think that's normal?"

Everyone nodded in agreement, feeling that this matter was abnormal.

But soon they were all shaking their heads, this abnormality had nothing to do with us at the Town Martial Office.

We aren't the County Magistrate, nor do we decide the outcomes of official matters.

Many people expressed their confusion.

"Correct, this kind of small local dispute is indeed not within the duties of the Town Martial Office. But please, everyone, do not forget our current identity, we are the Heavenly Punishment Sect!"

"Doctrine of the Heavenly Punishment Sect: Punish on Heaven's Behalf, the Punishment of Righteousness!"

"Little Han, tell me, would the Heavenly Punishment Sect overlook such a matter?"

Han Baiwen felt somewhat embarrassed. Although he could see that many people were reluctant to get involved, after all, Zhang San had been so good to him.

Such a magnificent carriage was given to him, and he even planned to let him enjoy his time with the Town Martial Office while bearing the name of the Heavenly Punishment Sect; how could he not support Zhang San at a time like this.

Moreover, he had joined the Heavenly Punishment Sect precisely because they truly would not overlook injustices on the road.

"For such matters, my Heavenly Punishment Sect will surely take charge until the end. Could it be that we still expect the corrupt officials of the Great Sui to handle it?"

Although the latter statement made many Martial Artists of the Town Martial Office quite unhappy, it nevertheless voiced Han Baiwen's true feelings.

"But after all, we are on our way to rob the Dragon Serpent Gang of treasures. If we get delayed here, wouldn't it potentially affect..."

Officer Bai was a little worried about impacting the more important mission.

"Wrong!"

Zhang San directly rebutted, "We are now the Heavenly Punishment Sect! Matters like these naturally have nothing to do with the Town Martial Office by duty."

"But if we, the Heavenly Punishment Sect, don't manage it, and the matter leaks out later, that would be our greatest flaw!"

"Therefore, this matter must be handled. Now, send someone out to gather information, and at the same time send someone to investigate this County Magistrate. If necessary, inviting him over is also a possibility. After all, in the eyes of our Heavenly Punishment Sect, he is just another corrupt official."

...

The two little foxes who had gone out to play returned to the cave.

The Old Fox was worrying about how to prevent Tiger Brother from constantly dwelling in the pain of being single, and with their interruption, he could let Tiger Brother forget his troubles.

"Xingxiang, why don't you greet your Uncle Tiger? This girl is becoming more and more unruly!"

The snow-white little fox immediately came over and paid her respects to the Tiger Demon.

"Uncle Tiger, don't listen to my granddad's nonsense. I wanted to bring over the wine jug to pour some for you, but he insisted I greet you first. Greetings don't compare to wine."

Upon hearing the little fox's words, the Tiger Demon couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Brother Hu, ah! I am really envious of you, having such a clever and witty treasure in your palm. I'm envious... unlike me, always a lone demon by myself..."

The Tiger Demon, who had just been laughing, upon recalling that his old friend's child had grown up so big while he was still alone, couldn't help but be moved to tears.

The little fox quickly tried to console him.

"Uncle Tiger, you mustn't think like that..."

"My mother passed away very early, my granddad is just like you."

"You're both old bachelors, huh!"

The three words 'old bachelor' struck like a critical hit at that moment.

Not only did Tiger Demon's head buzz, but even the Old Fox felt his head buzzing.

The Old Fox looked at his daughter, his eyes brimming with tears.

This cotton-padded jacket is letting the wind through!
