After thinking for a while about what he remembered, Jason Carter felt somewhat reassured. This medicinal wine wouldn’t harm the body; in fact, it was a basic tonic wine used by cultivators to nourish their vital energy. Even after drinking this wine and doing that kind of thing with a woman, there wouldn’t be any fatigue, and for ordinary people, it even had health benefits.

Soaking in the river, Jason Carter circulated his cultivation technique for a while and clearly felt the medicinal power dissolving and entering his body. The sensation of the medicine spreading was quite unique, as if his vital energy had been further strengthened.

Looks like after paying back the money, I should soak some for myself to use!

Jason Carter also knew he had drunk a bit too much today. If it had just been a small cup, he wouldn’t have needed to come soak in the river.

Since this happened to me, I’d better remind others not to drink too much when I introduce it to them.

Over an hour later, Jason Carter finally came out of the river. He subconsciously glanced at his private parts—honestly, he felt even stronger down there.

Putting on his pants, Jason Carter draped his shirt over his shoulder and walked home bare-chested.

Because of long-term cultivation, Jason Carter’s upper body muscles were very well-proportioned, each muscle well-defined. The young girls and married women he passed on the road couldn’t help but sneak glances at him.

“Xiaofei, you’re back?” As he approached his house, Aunt Grace from next door suddenly appeared and greeted him.

“Aunt Grace, are you busy?”

“Of course! That deadbeat never comes home, and there’s so much to do around the house. Now the light in the house isn’t working again. Do you know how to fix it?”

“Sure, I’ll take a look for you.” Jason Carter followed Aunt Grace into her house.

“Look at you, you’re all sweaty.”

As she spoke, Aunt Grace reached out and wiped Jason Carter’s back.

Before Jason Carter could react, Aunt Grace grabbed a towel and said, “Come, let me wipe the sweat off your back. You can’t reach it yourself.”

“No need, no need. I’ll check the light for you and then go back to wipe off.”

While talking, Jason Carter checked and found that the bulb was burned out. He quickly said, “The bulb is broken. Do you have a spare? I can change it for you.”

“Yes, I just happen to have one.”

Saying that, Aunt Grace took a bulb from the table and handed it to Jason Carter.

“Be careful, the stool you’re standing on is dangerous. I’ll hold it for you.”

As she spoke, Aunt Grace hugged Jason Carter’s leg.

Ah!

Being hugged by this woman, Jason Carter looked down just as he finished installing the bulb and saw Aunt Grace’s face so close. Startled, he lost his balance and fell, landing right on top of Aunt Grace.

After getting up and making sure Aunt Grace was okay, Jason Carter scrambled out in a panic.

Chapter 5: Going to Town

“Xiaofei, so early? Heading to town?”

“Xiaofei, what’s with your walking?”

At dawn, Jason Carter got up, carefully put the jar of wine into his basket, slung it on his back, and left home. Today, Jason Carter was going to the town to exchange the wine for money.

Along the way, the villagers who saw Jason Carter all greeted him kindly.

“Yes, I’m going to check out the town.”

For the villagers, walking to town wasn’t a big deal. After greeting everyone along the way, Jason Carter picked up his pace and headed toward the county seat.

Actually, Jason Carter hadn’t slept well last night. Lying in bed, his mind was filled with images of Aunt Grace’s fair skin—places he’d never seen before, mysterious and alluring. Because of the medicinal wine, Jason Carter was quite tormented.

However, thanks to his cultivation, he didn’t feel tired at all when he got up early. He was still full of energy as he walked.

In fact, the trip to town wasn’t that far. After more than two hours on the road, as the sun rose, Jason Carter arrived at the county seat.

He wandered around town all morning, and as noon approached, Jason Carter started contacting people.

He took two yuan out of his clothes pocket and went to a roadside phone booth to dial a number he remembered.

After a few rings, a weak-sounding voice answered, “I’m Robert Grant. Who are you?”

“Brother Grant, it’s me, Jason Carter.”

“Jason Carter? Oh, Little Jason, you’re out?”

“Yes, I just got out. I’m in the county now.”

“That’s right! Now that you’re in town, how could you not look for your big brother? Where are you? I’ll send someone to pick you up.”

Jason Carter told him the location.

This Robert Grant was the one who had crippled the man who tried to steal his wife and ended up in prison. During a work assignment inside, if Jason Carter hadn’t saved him, he would have been crushed by a huge rock that fell from the mountain. After getting out, Robert Grant was very loyal, helping Jason Carter out for a while. With the help of a few big shots in prison, Jason Carter was able to get out so quickly.

After waiting by the roadside for a while, a big Benz pulled up.

Robert Grant stuck his head out of the car and said, “Get in, quick.”
