My Co-renting Lady Boss

Chapter 2189: Chapter 2185: The Black Skull Incident

"Spicy, watch out for the spiciness."

Tang Ming shouted out as Lan Yanyou’s fur turned red, and with a splash, she jumped into a nearby water jar, gulping down the spring water.

"Meow, Tang Ming, what kind of dish did you make, are you trying to kill me?"

Lan Yanyou popped her head out of the water jar, looking ridiculously funny.

Tang Ming burst into laughter and said, "Of course not, this is just how it tastes. You have to eat it slowly, and it’s best to pair it with something else."

Tang Ming brought out another plate, picked up one with chopsticks, and it tasted great, even more delicious than he had imagined.

"Is it good?"

Lan Yanyou savored it for a moment and then asked Tang Ming curiously.

Tang Ming picked up a piece of fish and handed it to Lan Yanyou. It was numbing, spicy, and fragrant. After taking a bite, she indeed wanted another.

"I want more."

Lan Yanyou jumped onto the dining table, and Tang Ming helplessly shook his head and said, "You ate a whole one yourself; the rest is mine. If you eat like this, I’ll go hungry. How about I make it for you again tomorrow?"

"No way, I want it tonight."

Lan Yanyou originally wanted to grab the fish from Tang Ming’s plate but thought better of it and gave up.

"Alright, but I’ll change the recipe for you tonight."

After all, considering that Lan Yanyou is a cat, eating chili might not be good for her; better to use chili as a seasoning.

Lan Yanyou nodded, "I knew following you was the right choice. Your cooking skills are enough to win my heart."

Tang Ming coughed violently, "Let’s talk about this when you transform into a human."

"Hmph."

Lan Yanyou snorted and turned away, but her face showed a hint of pleasure.

After Tang Ming finished breakfast, the servant who managed his courtyard came in from outside.

"Master, I had some family matters, so I’m late. I’ll go make you some food."

The servant, Aunt Meng, was hired by Guo Muye for Tang Ming. She mainly cooked and cleaned the rooms for Tang Ming.

Tang Ming waved his hand and said, "Aunt Meng, no rush, you don’t have to cook anymore. Just help tidy up and do the laundry. Stay out of the Alchemy Room; it has formations and might be dangerous. Wash these dishes and clean up the kitchen water jar and the remaining trash."

"Got it. Don’t worry, Master. Honestly, I went home last night thinking about what you really like to eat. But I’m not great at cooking. Knowing you cook yourself puts my mind at ease."

Aunt Meng showed a faint smile. Her son was an Immortal Doctor at the clinic. Early on, while nurturing her son, the family accumulated a lot of debt, but she didn’t have any special skills, so earning money was tough.

Working as a servant for the Master this time, Aunt Meng felt good. After all, this Master was a person of great capabilities.

Tang Ming nodded. Aunt Meng’s son was called Nuoyi, a very talented Immortal Doctor, and his talent in Elixir Cultivation was not inferior to Zhou Mo.

Guo Muye wanted to cultivate Nuoyi, so he asked Tang Ming to take care of Aunt Meng.

Leaving his courtyard, he took Lan Yanyou with him. All around were Immortal Doctors working at the clinic. They liked going there early because Tang Ming had drawn up a plan to improve the clinic’s environment. In the future, the clinic would have formations and small treatment rooms, elevating it to a higher level.

"Tang Ming Master, yesterday you were attacked by members of the Black Skull."

Shan Ze strode up to Tang Ming. Tang Ming’s brow furrowed.

Only Lan Yancha and Tang Song knew about Tang Ming being attacked by Black Skull.

Tang Song was a person from Mist Shadow. He’s unpredictable and could do anything.

Lan Yancha was never a gossipy person. As for Tang Song, Tang Ming didn’t know him well, but he wouldn’t spread the word, would he?

"What’s going on? Speak clearly. I don’t know what you’re talking about."

Tang Ming looked at Shan Ze.

Shan Ze seemed surprised. He scratched his head and said, "Looks like you really don’t know. This morning, there were multiple faceless corpses hanging at the entrance of a Chu Family store. Those corpses were all wearing black cloaks. Anyone familiar with Black Skull knows that they were assassins from Black Skull. And the Chu Family seems only to have enmity with you."

Tang Ming started coughing violently, "They’re really hanging at the Chu Family’s door?"

He had already planned to retaliate for Black Skull’s assassination, but the person avenging him was even more ruthless. They slaughtered Black Skull’s people in Tianpo City and hung them at the Chu Family’s door.

This was akin to provoking both the Chu Family and Black Skull’s forces.

"It’s true. The Chu Family’s store was scared into closing; according to my investigation, Chu Qing from the Chu Family left Tianpo City for Wuli Village yesterday. Only that guy named Chu Kuang is left."

Shan Ze stood beside Tang Ming, whispering to him.

Tang Ming’s gaze swept over the passing pedestrians. They all looked at Tang Ming with awe. Apparently, the whole of Tianpo City had pretty much heard about the Black Skull assassins hanging at the Chu Family’s door.

"It wasn’t the old man."

Lan Yanyou’s voice echoed in Tang Ming’s ear, and Tang Ming nodded.

He also thought it wasn’t Lan Yancha. If Lan Yancha did it, it wouldn’t have been so covert.

This shadowy style was very much in line with Mist Shadow’s modus operandi.

"Deputy Master Shan, don’t mention the Black Skull matter, and if anyone asks, just say you don’t know. As for the clinic’s renovations, I had Elder Guo talk to you earlier; you’re mainly responsible. Make sure to do it well."

Tang Ming looked at the Shan Ze beside him.

Shan Ze nodded, "Rest assured, Master. Zeng Qing’s old courtyard has already been rebuilt as you instructed, and this side is also being renovated. Didn’t you say to move the clinic operations there first? I’ve moved everything there too."

"Good, you’ve done well. Deputy Master Shan, I know your relationship with Commander Tian isn’t very good. But whatever happened before, we must look to the future. Life will be much better."

Tang Ming patted Shan Ze’s shoulder.

Shan Ze was much older than Tang Ming, his grandson’s soul age was similar to Tang Ming’s, but at this moment, he felt a shiver all over.

Tang Ming was bringing significant changes to the clinic in Tianpo City. Now, besides the three major powers, it was the largest force. You could say it was just a step short of making the whole of Tianpo City tremble.
