Chapter Five: The Exquisite Young Beauty

For two days, Xu Ping teased his adorable yet bold niece, Yu Chen, who responded to his advances with equal daring. Even without ejaculation, their lovemaking was incredibly exciting. They spent the night outdoors, leaving traces of their lovemaking everywhere – in the woods, along the river, and on the riverbank stones!

At the inn, Yu Chen cherished their precious time, indulging in her desires, repeatedly satisfying Xu Ping's endless demands with her small body. When they arrived at Xiaoye Town near Tianfang Mountain, the niece's legs were too weak to walk, but her face was filled with satisfied bliss.

Xu Ping reluctantly bid her farewell, having Zhao Meng send men to wait for them. These two days of passionate encounters were truly unforgettable. The niece's boldness and passionate nature, her alluring charm in bed, were irresistible!

"Uncle, you must miss me! Yu Chen will miss you!" Little Yu Chen cried in Xu Ping's arms, a heartbroken mess.

Xu Ping hugged her and comforted her, "Silly girl, I'll be back in a month at most, don't act like it's a life-or-death separation." He then kissed her cheek and whispered lewdly in her ear, "Be good when you get back. After Uncle marries you, we'll sleep together every day, and your little bottom will be all bruised and battered."

Yu Chen's face flushed, a rare occurrence. The result of her excessive indulgence was that she now had difficulty walking, and even squatting to use the toilet was painful. The two days of madness were incredibly sweet; if Xu Ping did this to her every day, could she survive?

"Alright, my little darling!" Xu Ping scooped her up and placed her on the carriage, gently instructing, "Don't run around when we get back, okay? Be a good girl and listen to your grandma and mother. When your uncle returns, he'll marry you in style."

"Okay!" Yu Chen nodded obediently, slightly raising her chin and pouting, "Uncle, I want you to kiss me!"

"You little rascal!" Xu Ping affectionately stroked her face and gave her a long, wet kiss!

With a reluctant farewell, Xu Ping solemnly instructed his soldiers to protect her well before waving goodbye to his tearful niece, watching the carriage slowly disappear into the setting sun!

"Damn, I'm free!"

Xu Ping couldn't contain himself and shouted with exhilaration! For the first time, no one else was around; this freedom was the best. He could now forcibly take women and do things that would be condemned by both gods and men. To show his filial piety, I'll take this opportunity to pick up a lot of girls and bring a few pregnant women back to the capital, haha!

With a hearty laugh, Xu Ping couldn't contain his elation and went to an inn to drink himself into a stupor.

Although the lack of women's service felt a bit awkward, Xu Ping was still full of energy the next morning, humming a tune and wandering around like a spendthrift. The inns in the villages and towns at the foot of Tianfang Mountain were almost all full, with many martial arts practitioners gathered there, their swords and axes making the locals uneasy. They all acted like "I'm a master," which was extremely annoying. He

leisurely traveled along the grassland. Riding a horse was now unnecessary, so Xu Ping simply got a carriage, leaving only the roof and planks, and laid out a cool bamboo mat. He let the horses walk slowly, while he lay back in the carriage, humming a tune, drinking wine, and gnawing on beef, enjoying the cool and comfortable summer breeze. He was living a very pleasant life.

Despite their impressive reputations, many of these江湖 (jianghu) figures were penniless, unable to afford even a horse and forced to walk the entire way. The densely packed path was filled with people glaring at Xu Ping, especially those trudging under the scorching sun, their lips parched. Watching Xu Ping drink heartily, they couldn't help but swallow hard; if it weren't for the sheer number of people, they would have already robbed him!

Where there are people, there are grudges, and in the past few days, many privately seeking revenge had taken advantage of the situation to engage in armed conflict. The local magistrate dared not interfere; as long as the people weren't disturbed, they preferred to fight to the death! Xu Ping watched the commotion, lamenting the lack of beautiful women among the troublemakers—otherwise, a hero's rescue would have been quite fitting!

Tianfang Mountain, located in central Hebei, stretches for hundreds of miles, a magnificent sight, shrouded in mist year-round, truly resembling a celestial abode. The Qingyi Sect is a branch of Taoism, worshipping the Three Pure Ones, and many of the local people are their followers. I've heard that the Green Robe Sect is quite kind, sometimes even helping the people at the foot of the mountain, and they have a good reputation in this area. Their main source of income is medicinal herbs from the mountain, along with some small, miscellaneous businesses.

"I told you not to follow me! What are you doing following me?!"

Suddenly, a very delicate, scolding voice caught Xu Ping's attention. The voice was fiery yet somewhat childish, suggesting the person was probably good-looking. Looking around for a while, he determined the voice came from several young men and women by the river; they seemed to be arguing.

Xu Ping subtly flicked the reins and went closer. Looking at the group, the man at the head looked to be around eighteen, dressed richly, with a somewhat aristocratic air, but his obsequious expression was rather unpleasant. Behind him followed a group of typical lackeys, who appeared to be sons of wealthy families.

What truly caught Xu Ping's eye was the girl standing before him, about fifteen or sixteen years old, with beautiful, captivating eyes and a still-childlike face. Her skin was as white as tofu, almost flawless. Despite being a young girl, she dressed very maturely, looking both comical and somewhat adorable.

She was quite petite, about 1.5 meters tall, but her figure was well-developed and shapely. While not large-breasted and childlike-faced, her figure was certainly ample. At such a young age, she was already a standard beauty, a captivating young woman.

The only flaw was that she seemed very angry at this moment, her face flushed as she roared at the young man. She had a terrible temper for such a young age, almost drawing her sword. Behind her followed two or three trembling maids, who appeared to be daughters of wealthy families.

"If I don't take advantage of this beauty, I'll be ruthless," Xu Ping thought. Looking at her stunning beauty, he could already imagine the beautiful sight of her moaning beneath him. He immediately resolved that no matter the method—rape, drugging, or any other dirty means—he would possess this delicate beauty and brutally violate her youthful and alluring body!

"Xunmei, don't be angry!" The man, however, was quite easygoing. Seeing her angry, he immediately bowed and scraped, showing no sign of manliness whatsoever.

The girl glared at him angrily, saying irritably, "Who's your Xunmei? I don't know you at all. What's the meaning of following me all this way? Do you want me to stab you a few times before you'll leave?"

The young man was so anxious he was almost in tears: "Xunmei, we were betrothed since childhood! My father instructed me to protect you all this way. What would I do if something happened to you?"

"Chen Xiaobao!" The girl raised her hand, pointing at his face, and said angrily, "I'd never be betrothed to you since childhood! I don't recognize that kind of thing. Listen to me, I, Lan Xiaoxun, will absolutely not be with you, so give up on that idea!"

Lan Xiaoxun? Xu Ping smiled lewdly. The name was quite charming. Unfortunately, she was a fiery little firecracker. Looking at her, he inexplicably thought of the scene when he first met his niece. This girl seemed to have a fiery temper too.

"What are you looking at!" Chen Xiaobao, perhaps having found no one to vent his anger on, turned around with a wronged expression. Upon seeing Xu Ping approaching, he immediately roared in annoyance, and the servants behind him echoed his servile, menacing expressions.

"Nothing!" Xu Ping feigned a weak scholar, waving his hand and feigning panic, saying, "I didn't mean to disturb you, I was just passing by."

"Hmph!" The girl glanced at Xu Ping, said nothing, and turned to leave. Chen Xiaobao, the tagalong, immediately abandoned Xu Ping and followed!

It must be said that there were many scattered individuals along the way. Because it was a gathering of talented young people, most were young people, gathered in twos and threes, making it quite lively. By nightfall, Xu Ping had arrived at the foot of Tianfang Mountain, humming a little tune. He already knew the girl's name; he would slowly inquire about her, slowly woo her, and if that didn't work, he'd force her—she wouldn't escape his grasp.

Because of the large number of pilgrims, there were quite a few inns at the foot of Tianfang Mountain. Unfortunately, they had all been occupied by the major sects by this time. Many people had to sleep outdoors. Xu Ping didn't want to get into conflicts with others, and since the conference didn't start until tomorrow, spending the night at the foot of the mountain wasn't a problem.

Besides Xu Ping, many smaller sects had also set up camp at the foot of the mountain, lighting bonfires to prepare dinner. The dense flames spread across the land, and the scale of several thousand people was quite grand. Xu Ping drank his wine while squinting, calculating the matter of the Ghost Valley Tomb. In the end, he couldn't help but think how wonderful it would be if these several thousand martial arts practitioners were under his command. Together, they would be enough to rival a wolf and tiger army! Tianfang

Mountain was anything but quiet at night, with shouts of battle and screams of agony frequently heard. Xu Ping was puzzled, and after some inquiries, he learned that some martial arts practitioners hadn't come for the talent conference, but for their enemies.

For example, two families, one in the east and one in the west, had accidentally become enemies. But they were too far away to attack their stronghold! The long journey was practically suicide, and those with grudges could only grit their teeth and endure it. They'd wait for some exciting event to strike and fight to the death. Many martial arts gatherings were preceded by opportunities to settle old scores, so the sounds of fighting at night were not uncommon.

The peaceful night was shattered, and Xu Ping dared not sleep soundly. He continued drinking while remaining vigilant. Most martial artists were forthright; Xu Ping pretended to be a scholar traveling, and they just chuckled and said nothing. Perhaps there were quite a few bored onlookers like him!

The next day's spectacle was unprecedented. The Green Robe Sect set up the arena on a large open space at the foot of the mountain, large enough to hold tens of thousands of people. The arena and stands were erected well in advance. The seats at the front were reserved for prestigious sects like Shaolin.

Other nobodies like Xu Ping, who had spent the night at the foot of the mountain, could only watch from afar. The abundance of small fry made the gathering quite lively.

The hall was bustling with activity. Members of various sects exchanged greetings and took their seats, each displaying an air of profound mystery. This prompted Xu Ping and others without seats to inwardly curse: "What's with all the high-and-mighty airs? They still have to take a dump in the morning!"

Due to the sheer number of people, the hundreds of disciples of the Green Robe Sect didn't settle down until noon. The venue was too small, and with so many people, it was impossible to squeeze in. Those with good martial arts skills simply stood in the trees and watched from a distance, which was a suitable arrangement. Xu Ping naturally greeted others and found a high spot to watch. Young people enjoy such excitement, and coupled with curiosity, Xu Ping didn't feel impatient.

The seats on the main stage appeared to be reserved for highly respected elders. On either side were rows of long chairs, each labeled with the sect affiliation. To the left sat the Green Robe Sect members, a densely packed group of elderly men with white hair and beards. Next was the Hundred Flowers Palace, filled with graceful women, all veiled, yet exuding charm and creating a striking scene.

To the right sat a row of bald men from Shaolin, their heads gleaming so brightly they seemed to reflect light, resembling a row of light bulbs, yet they were treated with utmost respect. What

shocked Xu Ping most was that the second-ranked sign read: "The Lineage of Guigu." A newly emerging sect had garnered the Green Robe Sect's attention. After all, the undetected infiltration of the Three Pure Ones Hall was a great humiliation for them, and they were eager to confront this newcomer.

Xu Ping showed no interest in the other sects. After a brief moment of shock, his gaze, like that of the other men, lingered on the women of the Hundred Flowers Palace, a single red flower amidst a sea of green. Though he couldn't see their faces, their figures alone were enough to

impress. However, due to their conflict with the Green Robe Sect, they remained silent and motionless, creating a somber atmosphere. The gong sounded, and several people began to take their seats. Xu Ping observed their polite, courteous manner, each person humble yet exuding a powerful aura. Especially after they sat down, the man in green robes in the center caught Xu Ping's attention.

A man who appeared to be around forty years old, not particularly tall, yet possessing a strong sense of oppression. His hawk-like eyes and sword-like eyebrows were sharp and piercing. If he were twenty years younger, he would undoubtedly be a stunningly handsome man. However, Xu Ping vaguely sensed something called "ambition" in his eyes. This man was none other than the legendary current leader of the Green Robe Sect—Song Yuanshan.

As soon as Song Yuanshan appeared, everyone started discussing. No one expected that a talent gathering would require the sect leader to personally attend, and many speculated about their motives.

"Fellow martial artists!" An old man stepped forward, coughing lightly twice with his lower-grade Earth-rank internal energy, instantly silencing the noisy hall. The old man smiled with satisfaction and said, "According to the rules of previous years, all young talents under the age of twenty, regardless of gender or sect, may come to the stage to demonstrate their skills

. The winner will be renowned throughout the land, and the loser will suffer no great loss." Another long speech was about to begin, and Xu Ping, bored, yawned, too lazy to listen to his rules. The old man, his mouth dry from exhaustion, sat back down dejectedly when there was no applause.

The seats reserved for the Ghost Valley Sect remained empty, and now even the Green Robe Sect couldn't hold back any longer. An elder-like figure, also possessing Earth-grade cultivation, stepped forward and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Friends of the Ghost Valley Sect, since you've sent an invitation, why are you so reluctant to show yourself? Do you perhaps look down on all the heroes of the world?"

Damn it, what a load of rubbish! Xu Ping cursed inwardly, but he was also eager to see who would appear.

The hall fell eerily quiet. Everyone looked at each other, eager to see what kind of demeanor the Ghost Valley disciple who dared to disrespect the Green Robe Sect possessed.

"He's here! He's here!"

The crowd looked around, and Xu Ping's eyes widened as he saw Chen Daozi, carrying his fortune-telling tools, struggling to squeeze through the crowd, panting as he ran forward, saying apologetically, "Sorry, I'm getting old! I always have constipation in the mornings, I'm so sorry I'm late."

These words immediately drew laughter from the entire hall.

Anyone with eyes could see he was doing it on purpose. Most masters would leap directly onto the three-meter-high platform. But he looked like he was about to die, taking ages to climb the stairs. The moment his buttocks touched the chair, he was already panting heavily, sipping his tea, looking like he was about to have a heart attack.

The Green Robe Sect members turned green; they never expected such a charlatan to humiliate them like this. And he even dared to embarrass them again in front of everyone—it was utterly despicable.

"Sorry, I'm old, I can't help it!" Chen Daozi chuckled, rubbing his aching back.

His comical appearance drew laughter from everyone. Xu Ping secretly chuckled too; this old guy was a master of deception, his shamelessness rivaling even his own.

The old man in blue, barely suppressing his anger, stepped forward and asked, "Are you from the Ghost Valley Sect? Did you come alone?"

"No, no!" Chen Daozi waved his hands in a flustered manner, then said with a headache, "I don't know if my fellow disciples have arrived yet. They're always so unpunctual. Some are drunkards, probably still asleep. Even worse is my junior brother! You don't know he's a greedy, lecherous rogue. I wonder which woman he's sleeping with right now. Maybe he went to a brothel last night and stayed out too late?"

Damn it, what grudge does this old man have against me? This is pure slander! Xu Ping gritted his teeth in hatred, but was also amused and exasperated! The old man was just playing a trick on people. Where are there brothels at the foot of Tianfang Mountain? He really didn't know what he was up to.

Another burst of laughter erupted in the hall, and the old man in blue's face darkened. He gritted his teeth, wishing he could kill this old man who was feigning madness. But seeing that Chen Daozi showed no signs of martial arts training, they worried that the old man was a hidden master and that making a rash move would make them lose even more face, so they held back.

Chen Daozi looked at the sea of people below with interest and said, "Didn't they say there was going to be a martial arts competition? It seems it'll last three days, right? Let's get started already, I need to go back and set up my fortune-telling stall to earn some money for my retirement."

The old man in blue was so angry he didn't want to speak anymore. He snorted coldly and turned to leave. Chen Daozi made no attempt to hide his true feelings, laughing and chatting with the Shaolin monks beside him. At first, they were quite polite, but after a while, the Shaolin monks and monks all seemed very uncomfortable. Judging from their awkward manner, Xu Ping was absolutely certain that this old man was telling dirty jokes—a shameless person indeed.

"This year's event is truly grand!"

"Isn't it the same as before? What's different?"

"You idiot, how is it the same as before! In the past, they would just send some disciples, but look at all these people sitting in the rows! Many elders and even sect leaders from major sects have come. I think everyone here this time is after that Ghost Valley Tomb."

"That's unreliable news, why do so many people believe it?"

"What if it's true? Besides the treasure, there might be some rare weapons and books. Which of these big sects isn't greedy? They won't be polite with such a good thing."

Xu Ping observed the situation on the field while paying attention to the discussions around him. Looking around, he noticed that many of the people were indeed middle-aged or elderly. It didn't seem right for them to come to this talent gathering, and such a small-scale competition wouldn't attract the attention of a great sect leader like Song Yuanshan. Something was definitely wrong.

That long-winded old man also shouted out a bunch of rules, such as today's competition being a fistfight or other nonsense, which was so tedious it almost made one wet themselves. Many men couldn't hold it in and urinated right next to the trees, making some women blush and curse. The air was thick with fumes, creating an awkward atmosphere.

After the start was announced, the hall fell silent. Everyone looked at each other, unwilling to be the first to step forward, and the atmosphere became somewhat somber.

"I'll go!" A young man, who looked to be around twenty years old with a fair complexion, jumped onto the stage. He bowed to the crowd and said loudly, "I am Hu Kangming from Guangxi, a disciple of the Eagle Claw Sect. Which friend would like to offer their guidance?"

"I've been waiting for you!" Another voice, clearly filled with resentment, followed, and another young man rushed up!

The two clearly had a grudge, and without much conversation, they were locked in combat. But their third-rate skills and rudimentary techniques were hardly worth watching! Many people began to yawn, and Xu Ping, too, was darting around, looking for any beautiful women. Who wanted to watch these two stinky men wrestle?

"Ah..."

The two cried out in unison, as another dashing young man rushed forward and kicked them both down! Perhaps tired of this pathetic duel, the crowd immediately cheered.

The events unfolded like a script: one who succeeded in showing off went up, the other who failed was kicked down. They even had to say some nonsense like "Thank you for your courtesy," making Xu Ping's hormones seem a little off. After all that, not a single beautiful woman went up; it seemed the men were there to watch the show, and the women were there purely to watch the men—how boring!

Chen Daozi squinted, watching the commotion with a smile, now displaying a somewhat otherworldly air. The other sects had also been focusing their attention on him; this old fellow, when serious, did have a certain charisma, leaving the others puzzled. After a moment

of calculation, Chen Daozi shifted his gaze to Xu Ping!

Xu Ping knew this old guy was a genuine demigod, but he was still angry at how Chen Daozi had treated him earlier, so he immediately raised his middle finger and glared at him fiercely!

Chen Daozi smiled slyly, then half-closed his eyes to watch the duel on the arena.

The day's duels were so intense they made everyone drowsy. Finally, a seven-foot-tall man skilled in external martial arts stood on the arena. As time was running out, his expression grew increasingly smug, as if he was certain he had won the first day of the Talented Individuals Tournament.

"I am not very talented. Is there any friend who would like to come up and offer some guidance?" The burly man looked around smugly, and those he had knocked off the arena all lowered their heads in shame.

The crowd quieted down considerably. Xu Ping saw this man, with his first-rate cultivation, acting so arrogantly. If he weren't afraid of causing trouble and not being able to escape, he would have already gone down and beaten him up.

A few whispers rang out from the Hundred Flowers Palace, and then a graceful disciple stood up. With a light tap of her jade-like feet, she gracefully leaped more than five meters to the arena, gently cupping her fists and saying, "This humble woman is unskilled, but I would like to exchange a few moves with you."

Although she was still veiled, her soft and delicate voice made the men momentarily lose their composure. The burly man was no exception. He snapped back to reality, looked at the delicate beauty before him, swallowed hard, and teased, "Little lady, fists and feet have no eyes, don't be reckless. If I accidentally hurt this delicate beauty, I'll feel terrible!"

These words weren't actually excessive, but the female disciple found them hard to accept, her voice immediately turning icy: "Yes! Fists and feet have no eyes! But I'm afraid you'll be the one who gets hurt."

"Oh, you've got guts!" the burly man laughed, lewdly saying, "But I think women should obediently go home to have children and serve their husbands. Fighting and killing here isn't suitable for you!"

The female disciple said nothing more, instantly radiating an oppressive aura, her jade hands outstretched in a "come on" stance.

Xu Ping quickly looked over; aside from the silk threads, he'd never seen anyone from the Hundred Flowers Palace stand up before. He wondered how good their martial arts were. However, seeing that this delicate female disciple only reached the burly man's chest, they couldn't help but feel sorry for her!

The difference in their stature was extreme; the woman standing before him looked like a child. The crowd below was already clamoring that it was unfair. But strangely, the women of the Hundred Flowers Palace remained seated calmly, not even glancing at the arena.

The people from other sects were also composed, chatting amongst themselves, as if the outcome was already decided.

The burly man seemed to sense the sudden change in the woman's demeanor and naturally dared not be careless anymore. His face darkened, he shouted, stood in a horse stance, and became cautious.

The woman remained unmoved, staring at him, seemingly not taking him seriously at all. The burly man, subjected to such contempt, could no longer endure it. He roared, and his fist, as hard as iron, slammed towards her.

Everyone held their breath; how could such a delicate beauty withstand such a powerful punch? The fist, carrying immense force, was less than half a meter away from her when the woman finally made a move. But her movement was incredibly gentle, deftly dodging the explosive punch, and her slender hand struck towards the burly man's chest! A

weak, feeble strike—no one would be wary of such an attack. The burly man, practicing external martial arts, naturally scoffed, giving a contemptuous smile, and even raised his chest, meeting the blow with a hint of mockery! Xu Ping sneered, and the true masters in the stands also subtly chuckled! Song Yuanshan had already closed his eyes while sipping his tea! Sure

enough, when the palm struck his chest, it was initially soft and weak; before the burly man could even utter a triumphant laugh, the woman's face turned cold. With a delicate shout, as if a whirlwind had swept through her body, suddenly, as if the force of a thousand armies had passed through

her slender arm and slammed down heavily into his chest.

"Ah..."

A bloodcurdling scream rang out as the burly man's massive body seemed to lose all weight. He coughed up blood and flew through the air, his face filled with disbelief. Even as he landed on the ground outside the arena, he remained dazed, seemingly unable to believe that such a small arm could possess such terrifying strength.

"You've won!" the woman said gently. Seemingly disdainful of this easy victory, she gracefully floated back to the Hundred Flowers Palace's ranks. The women there also seemed uninterested in such a victory, remaining silent.

However, Xu Ping could sense that they seemed to be subtly targeting the Green Robe Sect!

"That idiot!" someone nearby began to boast, "The Hundred Flowers Palace is full of delicate female disciples, yet they can still stand strong in the martial world. They must have their strengths. That palm strike seemed weak and powerless, but the real killing move lies in the accumulated force after contact. Its power is comparable to Shaolin's Vajra Fist."

Damn, this life is great! Watching others fight, with commentary on the sidelines. Xu Ping was very interested in their accumulated force. If a girl could use it so powerfully, wouldn't it be like having two punches in one?

"The first day of the competition is over!"

After sunset, the first day's farce ended with the Hundred Flowers Palace's sudden emergence, defeating their opponent with a single blow. The crowd immediately dispersed. Xu Ping, however, coldly watched Chen Daozi, wondering what methods the Green Robe Sect would use to detain him. He would have to protect him if necessary!

But their worries seemed unnecessary. The other major sects quickly withdrew and went to rest at the places arranged by the Green Robe Sect! Only the female disciples of the Hundred Flowers Palace remained seated, their eyes fixed on them. Chen Daozi declined the Green Robe Sect's invitation, secretly giving Xu Ping a wink, and swaggered down the mountain.

The Green Robe Sect, naturally, dared not make things difficult in front of so many people, while the Hundred Flowers Palace disciples also declined the Green Robe Sect's invitation, insisting on going down the mountain, their words laced with sarcasm, ending in an unpleasant scene.

Xu Ping immediately followed the crowd down the mountain, but upon reaching the bottom, he was dismayed to find his carriage stolen. It seemed there were quite a few penniless people here, and even some opportunists had taken advantage of the situation, even stealing things left in the inn! It seemed that besides martial arts figures, quite a few thieves had also come.

Chen Daozi was riding high, being addressed as "Senior, Senior" all the way! Naturally, Xu Ping's smug face flushed red. Not wanting to reveal his identity, he didn't greet him, but instead found out where he lived and found an inn for a quiet drink alone.

After last night's fierce competition, the number of people competing today was significantly less than yesterday, and some were already packing up to go home. With the crowds less intense than yesterday, Xu Ping was happy to relax. He generously tossed out ten taels of silver, found a good spot, cooked some local dishes, and began to ponder the details of today's competition.

As the sun set, the foot of the mountain was still filled with bonfires and the sounds of fighting. Xu Ping couldn't help but feel a little lost. Was this what the so-called martial arts world was like? It didn't seem like the chivalrous novels he used to read, full of righteous indignation and heroic deeds! Instead, it was all about scheming and plotting, no less than the officialdom! It was truly a pain in the ass. Wouldn't it be better to use this time to make more money and marry a few beautiful women?

The people in the inn were excitedly discussing the day's events, with many men focusing on the Hundred Flowers Palace, a sect they all longed for. They chatted amicably, acting like close friends, clinking glasses and creating a lively atmosphere.

"I told you not to follow me! Didn't you hear me?!"

A delicate yet angry voice immediately silenced the small inn filled with men. Xu Ping twitched his ears, and upon hearing it, he became excited. He had been searching all day without finding her, and now she had delivered herself to his doorstep. Who else could that fiery voice belong to but the beautiful Lan Xiaoxun?

Sure enough, following the sound, he saw her storming in, her maidservant nowhere to be seen! And that idiot Chen Xiaobao was still bowing and scraping behind her.

The inn was now full, and Xu Ping was the only one sitting there. She glanced around, then immediately walked over, sat down casually, and said, "Brother, let's share a seat!"

Xu Ping readily nodded, saying politely, "It's better to share than to drink alone, no problem!"

With a thud, Chen Xiaobao also sat down, slapping down a ten-tael silver ingot, and said arrogantly, "This money is enough for you to eat for a month. Go somewhere else!"

Lan Xiaoxun frowned, slammed her hand on the table, and scolded, "Are you done yet? This isn't the time for you to show off! Be careful not to offend some powerful figure, or you'll drag this lady down with you."

"Powerful figure?" Chen Xiaobao said, glancing at Xu Ping disdainfully, as if to say, "What does this pale-faced guy have to do with anything?"

Xu Ping didn't say anything more; it was too much trouble with so many people around. But this Chen Xiaobao, just because he had shown off in front of him time and time again, he definitely had to be beaten up. He'd find a time when no one was around, tie him up, and give him a good beating.

"Sir, the dishes are here!" The waiter enthusiastically brought over the food. Because of the tip he received, he was surprisingly diligent, neatly arranging the dishes one by one: steamed fish, roast chicken, beef, a full table, making those who could only eat peanuts and drink wine blush.

"Waiter, give us an even better table!" Chen Xiaobao muttered, taking out his silver and saying, "Whatever's good, bring it. I want the best."

The waiter looked at the one tael of silver in his hand with disdain, but still smiled and said, "Sorry, sir, we're sold out!"

"What kind of inn do you run if you don't have anything good to offer!" Chen Xiaobao immediately became arrogant.

Lan Xiaoxun glared at him fiercely: "Can't you shut your stinking mouth? Always shouting like that, people who don't know better will think you're the crown prince!"

Xu Ping chuckled to himself. Is this how you make a comparison? I've always been approachable and kind, completely different from this idiot. " After I get you into bed, I'll teach you a lesson and correct your wrong thinking.

" Having already visited several inns without finding a place to eat, Lan Xiaoxun, starving after a day, couldn't take it anymore. After thinking for a moment, she said to Xu Ping, "Brother, it's better to meet by chance than by invitation. I see you're alone too, so if you don't mind, let's eat together. This meal is on me, okay?"

"Of course!" Xu Ping nodded with a smile.

Chen Xiaobao patted the ten taels of silver generously and said, "Consider this money for the meal, the rest is yours."

Lan Xiaoxun said angrily, "No one will think you're mute if you don't speak. Eat quickly, and then get out." She seemed to be extremely disgusted by his arrogant attitude, and her insults were utterly ruthless.

"Xun-mei, don't be like that!" Chen Xiaobao immediately reverted to his pitiful expression!

Xu Ping picked up the silver and weighed it in his hand, then said with a smile, "Brother, this meal costs more than this. Your silver seems insufficient!"

"What? Are you robbing me!" Chen Xiaobao angrily called to Xiao Yi and asked, "How much is this meal?"

Xiao Yi, having received Xu Ping's tip and disliking Chen Xiaobao's arrogant attitude, immediately rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Sir, this gentleman has also ordered two bottles of fourth-grade Shili Xiang wine! Only we have this wine in Tianfang Mountain. It costs forty taels for a first-grade bottle. The food isn't expensive, only four or five taels."

Xu Ping secretly smiled and gave Xiao Yi a shrewd look.

Chen Xiaobao rolled his eyes in anger, but he couldn't suggest going to another bar, so he reluctantly pulled out fifty taels of silver, gritting his teeth and saying, "This should be enough, right?"

Seeing him get the short end of the stick, Lan Xiaoxun couldn't help but secretly smile. This smile made her even more beautiful and charming, leaving the men somewhat dumbfounded. Such a beauty was naturally worthy of men fighting over her.

Chen Xiaobao drank his wine dejectedly, wondering where the money came from; it was spicy and pungent, not pleasant at all. However, he quickly tried to be attentive to Lan Xiaoxun, but only ended up looking foolish and frustrated. No matter what he picked up, Lan Xiaoxun would throw it all off her bowl onto the table. If he picked too much, she would directly ask the waiter to change the bowl, seemingly disgusted by him.

Xu Ping, posing as a traveling scholar, first tentatively asked a question. Seeing that the young beauty didn't seem to mind, he immediately launched into a wide-ranging conversation with her. Girls' curiosity is at its peak at this time, and Xu Ping naturally piqued her interest. The girl ignored Chen Xiaobao beside her and soon she was chatting happily with Xu Ping.

Chen Xiaobao's face darkened, but he had to endure it to maintain his composure! Unfortunately, his eloquence was truly lacking, and just as he was about to retort, Xu Ping's words left him dizzy, completely bewildered. This guy was arrogant, but not a bad person; at most, he was just young and naive, trying to win Lan Xiaoxun's favor by showing off.

"Big brother, are there really those blond-haired, blue-eyed people?" Lan Xiaoxun asked curiously, her round eyes wide.

Xu Ping, feigning profundity, sipped his wine and chuckled, "Of course there are. Many people overseas are like that. Even if you don't go overseas, just cross the grasslands northward, the people over there in Rakshasa are all blond and blue-eyed."

Chen Xiaobao, though curious, retorted irritably, "Isn't that no different from monkeys? What's so interesting about that? Only someone like you would care about such things."

"Chen Xiaobao!" Lan Xiaoxun couldn't take it anymore, slamming her hand on the table and yelling, "If you don't shut your stinking mouth, I'll kick you out!"

"Fine, I won't say it then!" Chen Xiaobao muttered, sullenly lowering his head to drink. Xu Ping continued his eloquent speech, recounting various experiences from all over the world, including some fabricated anecdotes. She was dumbfounded; her innocent little head probably couldn't hold all that information, and she was already dizzy from Xu Ping's rambling.

After a satisfying meal, Xu Ping stood up with a smile and said, "Gentlemen, it's getting late, so I won't keep you any longer! There's more excitement to see tomorrow, so get some rest."

"Brother Xu!" Lan Xiaoxun immediately nodded with a smile, "I'll be waiting for you here again tomorrow. Can you tell me more interesting stories about overseas?"

Deliberately trying to build rapport, her calling him "Brother Xu" made Xu Ping extremely happy. He secretly glanced at the sullen Chen Xiaobao, thinking...you're still too green to pick up girls! However, he maintained a gentle smile, "Of course, Miss Lan, you don't mind. I'll be waiting here again tomorrow!"

"Farewell!" Lan Xiaoxun gave Xu Ping a smile more beautiful than a flower, glared at Chen Xiaobao with disgust, and left reluctantly. Chen Xiaobao glared at Xu Ping again, then chased after her, calling her "Xunxun sister" over and over.

As soon as they left, Xu Ping couldn't help but chuckle to himself, took out the fifty taels of silver from Chen Xiaobao, and hummed a little tune. "This idiot doesn't even realize that this run-down inn is just a small one-story building, entirely constructed of old wooden planks. How could it possibly sell such expensive wine as 'Ten Mile Fragrance'? He's such a country bumpkin, what kind of business can he possibly run? He could live a life of luxury just by ripping people off."

The waiter, his eyes gleaming, scurried over, grinning, "Sir, is there anything else you need?"

Xu Ping, of course, knew his purpose. He smugly waved the large silver ingot, pocketed it, and then tossed over a five-tael coin, laughing heartily, "The big one isn't for you, you can keep the small one!"

"Yes, yes, this fool, how come he can't even distinguish sorghum liquor?" The waiter smiled slyly; five taels was already a good deal for him, several months' wages.

"Promising!" Xu Ping patted him on the shoulder, humming a tune as he walked out of the inn. He first followed Lan Xiaoxun to find out which inn they were staying at, then slowly made his way towards Chen Daozi.

Chapter Six: Powerful Aphrodisiacs, Lecherous Thieves Everywhere

. In the two-story inn, in the innermost guest room, Chen Daozi sat with his eyes closed at the table by candlelight. On the table were a copper coin robe and a bowl of raw rice. He seemed to be muttering something. After a while, he opened his eyes, grinning as he looked out the window and said, "You've finally arrived."

"You old bastard, you're framing me!"

Xu Ping nimbly squeezed in through the window, cursing before even sitting down, "When have I ever been greedy? When have I ever been lecherous? How can you be so disrespectful to your age? When have I ever visited a brothel? You'd better explain yourself, or I'll burn your beard!"

"Junior Brother, calm down!" Chen Daozi smiled gently, "I didn't expect you to arrive so late. Did you run into some romantic luck again?"

"Damn it, don't try to predict my fate!" Xu Ping laughed and cursed as he sat down, "If you've got the guts, predict whether I'll beat you up today." "

Lazy!" Chen Daozi uttered a single word slowly, then suddenly pulled a yellow letter from his pocket and tossed it over.

"What is this?"

Xu Ping opened it with a puzzled look. The paper was covered in symbols and lines, resembling a complex map. Xu Ping couldn't understand it at all. "What is this? It's not your fortune-telling book, is it? I don't understand these profound things."

Chen Daozi sighed deeply, rolled his eyes at Xu Ping, and said, "You're really stupid. Can't you see this is a secret letter?"

"What's in it?" Xu Ping looked at it from both sides, but still couldn't understand it! A jumble of patterns and even more chaotic lines—it was too intricate to be a map; it was more like a wordless book.

Chen Daozi smiled slyly and said, "This was copied by one of our people when they went to deliver a visiting card. As for the content, it's related to you!"

"Damn it, if you know the content, why are you keeping it a secret?" "Xu Ping cursed irritably.

Chen Daozi slowly took out several Taoist books and some paper and pen, and said seriously, "I can help you decipher this letter, what will you give me in return?"

"You old bastard!" Xu Ping gritted his teeth and said, "What do you want in return!"

Chen Daozi's expression flickered slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "We have roughly confirmed that the Ghost Valley Tomb is located in Hebei Province. I know that there is a strange book inside called the 'Destiny Hundred Subduing Scripture,' which records a heaven-defying technique that can break the bindings of my Three Destiny Plates. If it really exists, I will definitely need your help. You must agree to my conditions first before I will help you decipher this secret letter!"

"What conditions?" Xu Ping naturally wouldn't agree rashly; this old fellow was so superstitious. Although he didn't take oaths seriously, he'd be at a huge loss if the old man could bring about some kind of retribution.

Chen Daozi's face turned cold, and he said in a somewhat sinister tone, "The *Fixed Fate Hundred Subduing Scripture* is full of heaven-defying techniques, which Master Guigu has always refused to pass on! But I've vaguely heard that there's a Yin method in it that can break my Heavenly Fate Three Plates, but..."

At this point, his face revealed a gloomy expression, "But it requires one hundred virgin boys born on yang days and at yang hours, and one hundred virgin girls born on yin days and at yin hours as a catalyst! Blood sacrifice is required to open the altar and perform the ritual; not even one of the two hundred can be missing!" "

Two hundred children sacrificed, their blood used in rituals—this is utterly evil magic!" Xu Ping gasped. It seemed the old man expected him to use his power to find these two hundred boys and girls. Such a large-scale search was impossible, even for someone as capable as him. It seemed the old man was determined to end this jinx's reign.

But the thought of two hundred lively children taking their lives felt incredibly cruel, and Xu Ping hesitated.

Chen Daozi watched coldly for a while before sighing and saying, "I know you're reluctant; most people wouldn't do something so against the will of Heaven. But you are destined to be an emperor; womanly compassion will only hinder your actions. If you truly don't want to do it, your senior brother will decipher this message for you; you don't need to be troubled." Xu Ping frowned,

thinking for a long time, then suddenly his eyes lit up. He asked, "Can children from other countries also be used?"

Chen Daozi paused slightly, thought for a moment, and said somewhat uncertainly, "I'm not sure, but as long as the timing is right, it shouldn't be a problem! As far as I know, even if this ritual fails, I won't be in any danger, so it should be worth a try! "

Xu Ping immediately nodded excitedly and said, "No problem, I can't bring myself to harm my own people. But I can find two hundred children from elsewhere to help you break the spell on you."

"Thank you so much!" Chen Daozi's face flushed considerably, and he said with a smile, "To be honest, I was in great pain when I made this decision. Now your idea is excellent, and I won't feel guilty after it's done." "Then

hurry up and help me decipher this letter!" Xu Ping urged immediately. The human mind is a very strange thing! For example, you would never kill and eat your own pet dog, but you would eat dog meat outside with more relish than anyone else! Killing your own people and killing outsiders are completely different things.

Chen Daozi smiled with satisfaction and immediately lowered his head, seriously deciphering the secret letter. He laid out a piece of white paper and spent most of the day writing down a single word, making Xu Ping sweat profusely, but he didn't dare to disturb him.

More than an hour had passed, and the room remained heavy with silence, save for the flickering candlelight. Chen Daozi frowned and sighed intermittently; in some places, even consulting scriptures was useless, requiring divination and meticulous calculation to understand. Judging by this, Ji Long certainly had many experts around him; if no one understood this letter, probably no one would know its meaning.

"Alright!" Chen Daozi wiped the sweat from his brow and handed the paper covered in writing to Xu Ping.

Xu Ping took it and glanced at it; the deciphering was somewhat chaotic, lacking any order. He quickly took the paper again and studied it carefully before finally deciphering the original meaning: "To Brother Yuanshan, the Crown Prince has headed south and has passed Shandong. You will not concern yourself with the matter of the dragon vein for now, but I hope you will take action to eliminate him as soon as possible."

Damn it, what a wolf in sheep's clothing! Xu Ping slammed his fist on the table in anger. This Ji Long certainly knew how to seize opportunities. Taking advantage of his absence from the capital was undoubtedly the best course of action. If he hadn't been extremely cautious this time, things might have already gone awry. However, through his deliberate concealment, he seemed to believe he was heading south, and those chasing him were probably going in that direction as well. Staying in Hebei for the time being wouldn't be dangerous.

"Junior Brother!" Chen Daozi wiped the sweat from his hands with a handkerchief, his face serious. "I estimate that the Qingyi Sect will have dealt with those minor figures in the next few days and started discussing the Ghost Valley Tomb matter! They might make things difficult for us tomorrow. Senior Brother hasn't learned martial arts, so you'll inevitably have to intervene. If you can't suppress them, things will become complicated."

"I understand!" Xu Ping replied coldly, trying to smooth things over. Since most of the Qingyi Sect disciples had gone south, and Song Yuanshan, having received this letter, would also send men south to pursue them, the Qingyi Sect was at its weakest point. The only way to eliminate them was now. However, time was so tight that it seemed impossible to dispatch troops in time. Without a regular army, he had no chance against them with his own strength. It would be incredibly embarrassing to be killed here!

Chen Daozi slowly wiped the sweat from his hands, seemingly understanding Xu Ping's thoughts. He smiled gently and said, "Junior brother, don't be nervous. You're so young, and you possess the power of a low-ranking cultivator. A simple appearance will be enough to intimidate them. As for your identity, how many of these江湖草寇 (jianghu bandits) do you think will recognize you? Just openly use your Ghost Valley Sect identity to sit with me. With a little disguise, no one will recognize you."

Xu Ping could only nod. He was indeed worried about being alone here, and if he were to be harmed, he would have nowhere to turn. This was also the reason why Xu Ping had been so low-key these past two days.

"That's right!" Xu Ping immediately slapped his forehead, somewhat indignantly saying, "Didn't you say there were four people in the Ghost Valley? Where are the other two? Where the hell did they go?"

Chen Daozi smiled and said, "There were indeed four before, but now there are more. Junior brother, let me be clear, the three of us each have our own needs. And you have immense power, you can do things that we can't, so naturally we'll think of you. There's another one already at your residence, in case things get chaotic in the capital while you're away, and the other one has been at Tianfang Mountain for a while, but there are other matters that make it inconvenient for him to show his face."

"One at my house?" Xu Ping's eyes widened in surprise. Could he be referring to that inhumanly powerful demon, Abbess Miaoyin?

"Yes!" Chen Daozi looked at Xu Ping suspiciously, "Didn't she tell you?"

"That old monster!" Xu Ping cursed fiercely, feeling that he was almost driven to the brink of collapse by her worry. It turns out that Miaoyin is one of the four disciples of Guigu, and she's over a hundred years old. No wonder she's so powerful. It seems that her showing off her skills wasn't just a spur-of-the-moment thing, but rather to put my mind at ease. But this wretched old witch didn't reveal her identity, making me live in constant fear.

"Alright!" Chen Daozi shook his head, frowning slightly. "Don't think too much about it. Once the Ghost Valley Tomb matter is settled, we'll help you get rid of some troubles, but we'll also need you to do some things for us. There's nothing for you to worry about now, so just think about your worldly affairs!"

"Hey, old ghost!" Xu Ping immediately said indignantly, "You always make things sound so easy. If I accidentally die here, who the hell will compensate me? Can you not be so mysterious? Don't you trust me?"

"Of course I trust you!" Chen Daozi smiled awkwardly, waving his hand. "Actually, it's quite simple. I need to break the spell on the Three Fate Plates. My eldest brother wants the method to pursue the supreme Dao in the Ghost Valley Tomb, and your third senior sister needs a way to relieve her suffering in seclusion and the predicament of rebirth."

"Why didn't you say so earlier?" Xu Ping glared at him irritably and turned to leave.

"Where are you going?" Chen Daozi called out.

"I don't have as many questions as you guys. I'm after money and women! It's dark and windy now, it'd be a shame not to do something bad." Xu Ping said, already climbing out the window, leaving Chen Daozi alone, laughing and crying as he continued studying the scriptures. "

Damn it, a bunch of old monsters, all pretending to be mystics, collectively harassing me? Damn it!" Xu Ping cursed as he walked, racking his brains but never imagining that Miaoyin was also one of the disciples of Guigu. That old vixen had teased him so badly that night! Don't underestimate her just because she's old; if you anger me, I'll rape you too!

He crept into the courtyard of a house in the dark. Xu Ping was puzzled; why would the Qingyi Sect prepare such a place for Chen Xiaobao? What was his family's background?

The courtyard was almost unguarded, but fortunately, it wasn't very large. After quietly sneaking inside, Xu Ping felt the small medicine bottle in his pocket, smiled sinisterly, and began searching for the idiot's whereabouts.

The small house was simple, and Xu Ping quickly found Chen Xiaobao's place. Although his goal tonight was Lan Xiaoxun, he wasn't satisfied without thoroughly destroying this good-for-nothing. He found his way to the courtyard, quietly knocking out all of Chen Xiaobao's henchmen before piling them all outside Chen Xiaobao's room.

"Damn it, you've been glaring at me all day!" Xu Ping cursed angrily. Seeing the light still on inside, he cautiously peeked inside.

Chen Xiaobao was staring blankly, looking melancholy, holding a pink hairpin and muttering, "Xun-mei, I really like you! Why do you always ignore me? What did I do wrong? Can't you tell me?"

Xu Ping thought: This isn't ignoring her. If this little girl were as unruly as Yu Chen used to be, he would have killed her with a sword by now. Would he still be here chattering away? But

despite his thoughts, he still had to get down to business. Xu Ping flicked a small pebble into the room, instantly extinguishing the already dim candlelight. Chen Xiaobao screamed in terror, but before he could finish, Xu Ping had already leaped in through the window and slapped him on the neck. The incompetent spendthrift immediately collapsed.

"Hehe, look what a virgin he is!" Xu Ping stripped him naked and threw him onto the bed. He then lit the candle again and glanced at the tiny toothpick between his legs, giving him a disdainful look. "Perfect size for being cuckolded," he thought. "So small, yet he dares to try and pick up girls."

"I'll make you feel incredibly good!" Xu Ping leered, then quietly moved his pack of lackeys one by one to the bed. Seeing a bunch of men on the same bed was utterly disgusting. "

Damn it, I'll leave a deep impression on your innocent minds!" Xu Ping cursed under his breath as he picked up the teapot. Seeing there was still water inside, he immediately pulled out a medicine bottle and poured in some powder! Having witnessed the power of this aphrodisiac at Liu Ziyan's place, Xu Ping, being a man of high moral character, naturally kept some, but he never expected to use it on men for the first time—what a waste!

After thinking for a moment, he poured a large amount in! Xu Ping forced it into each of them.

"I wonder how effective it will be?" Xu Ping was frustrated. He had originally planned to use this high-end stuff for some kind of drugging and raping, but now he was using it on these stinking men. When he returned to the capital, Qiao'er would probably laugh at him for this; he couldn't tell her even if he died. However, to test the drug's effectiveness and also out of concern that the mischievous Qiao'er might give him a fake, Xu Ping forced himself to endure the nausea and waited by the window.

At first, none of them reacted, but as the first servant stirred groggily, the others woke up as well. However, their faces were frighteningly red, their eyes bloodshot, and they were breathing heavily.

They initially seemed confused, only knowing that they were unbearably hot. Clumsily, they took off their clothes, but this immediately triggered a powerful reaction, with several grown men letting out extremely disgusting groans. The

four or five men seemed to have forgotten all manners and etiquette, only needing a place to release their pent-up heat. They tore at each other's clothes, leaving tattered garments scattered on the ground. The grown men were now all naked and writhing together, seemingly unsure of what to do next.

"Ah..." Chen Xiaobao involuntarily cried out as they rubbed him. The moment he opened his mouth, one of the servants' eyes flashed with malice. He grabbed Chen Xiaobao's hair and shoved his still-erect penis into his mouth.

"Ugh..." Before Chen Xiaobao could react, the servant was already thrusting into his head with great impulsiveness. He flailing his arms and legs in agony, his expression one of extreme pain. With this movement, his anus was exposed, and another servant, seemingly understanding the situation, stepped forward, spread his legs, and forcefully thrust into his dry anus.

Chen Xiaobao immediately let out a scream, but was quickly rendered speechless by the penetration. Fortunately, he had taken aphrodisiacs, otherwise he probably would have been in excruciating pain. The others followed suit, and the room quickly became a scene of obscenity and perversion. Nearly ten grown men were entangled on the bed, some performing oral sex, others anal sex—a truly shocking and incredibly promiscuous scene.

Xu Ping felt like he was about to vomit up the milk he had drunk during his baby's full-month celebration, so he quickly closed the window and slipped away. Watching this disgusting scene any longer would not only prevent him from engaging in any serious activities like sex that night, but he'd also likely have a psychological aversion to getting an erection for years to come.

Amen. Xu Ping silently prayed for Chen Xiaobao, who was the most delicate among them, and whose anus and mouth would probably be thoroughly ravaged. "Why did you have to offend me? Rest in peace!" The hellish scene in the room, if seen even once, would absolutely render a man permanently impotent and a woman completely menopausal!

Having dealt with the little spendthrift, it was time for the beautiful Lan Xiaoxun. A wicked, lewd smile immediately appeared on Xu Ping's face, but he hesitated. It seemed the little beauty had a good feeling about him; should he drug and rape her? Should he just take her body, or take her body and all? What a headache!

He lingered outside her courtyard for a while. If Xu Ping really wanted to drug and rape her, she probably wouldn't know, but letting her go after just one time wasn't his style. Besides, her small body is already so alluring even during her developmental stage; she'll definitely be even more beautiful when she grows up. I should find a way to take her in and play with her for a long time!

Just as Xu Ping was hesitating, a maid's scream suddenly rang out in the courtyard. A flurry of panic followed, then Lan Xiaoxun's fiery shout: "You lecherous thief, prepare to die!"

Xu Ping was startled. Had he been discovered before he even made a move? This girl couldn't be that clever!

A moment later, the sound of clashing weapons echoed in the courtyard, and a man in black quickly leaped over the edge and fled in panic.

Lan Xiaoxun, dressed in a red outfit, brandished her sword and chased after him: "Where do you think you're going, you lecherous thief!"

Damn it, he'd run into a fellow thief! Xu Ping couldn't help but feel annoyed. This place was a melting pot of all sorts of people. Besides those who wanted to steal, there were even these womanizers.

Seeing that he hadn't succeeded, Xu Ping immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but cursed fiercely. He'd dealt with one spendthrift, and now this womanizer had appeared; his luck was truly terrible. However, worried about the beauty's safety, Xu Ping quickly and quietly followed, thinking it wouldn't be bad to play the hero and rescue the damsel in distress.

"Where do you think you're going, you lecherous thief!" Lan Xiaoxun seemed to think that shouting loudly was justified, chasing after him while yelling at

the top of her lungs. Unfortunately, although there were people in the woods, many didn't want to cause trouble, only glancing at him without moving, completely ignoring her. Perhaps it was because of the chaotic nature of this extraordinary period that people were used to such fighting and killing.

The man in black was quite agile, dodging Lan Xiaoxun's sword strikes and running a long way without getting hurt. However, he seemed to have another purpose, running in only one direction, as if trying to lead her somewhere.

They chased each other on the ground, while Xu Ping gracefully followed on the tree trunks. He chuckled inwardly; this girl was quite adorable. Not only could she not catch him, but she even got so angry her face turned red—she looked quite pretty in that state! What an interesting girl!

The man in black turned a corner and stopped near an old temple. He glanced back at Lan Xiaoxun, who was chasing after him, a sly smile clearly flashing in his eyes, before turning and running into the temple! Lan Xiaoxun was really foolish; she chased after him without a second thought, sword in hand.

Two thin, middle-aged men were sitting in the temple. The man in black stopped immediately upon seeing them. Lan Xiaoxun, panting, also stopped, glaring at him fiercely as she clasped her hands in a fist salute to the two men, saying, "Seniors, this guy is a womanizer. I hope you can help me capture him."

Upon hearing this, the two men stood up without a word; one tall and one short, they looked quite comical.

Xu Ping cursed inwardly, thinking, "It's obvious they're allies. You brainless idiot, you actually want their help? Help with what?" Helping with gang rape, you fucking like this kind of thing, huh?! Is that pretty little head of yours filled with nothing but batter?

One of the men, the taller one, circled around behind Lan Xiaoxun and clicked his tongue, saying, "So you're Iron Knife King's daughter. It's strange that that burly guy could have such a tender little girl like you!"

Even if Lan Xiaoxun was naive at this point, she immediately understood and looked at the three men warily, coldly demanding, "Who are you?"

"Hehe!" A sinister laugh followed, and the man in black pulled down his mask, revealing a dry and ugly face. He lewdly said, "You little girl, you've had your fun. I let you chase me all the way without fighting back. I'll see if you're still this fierce after we're in bed!"

"Little girl, blame your father for destroying our Heavenly Eagle Sect!" The tall man couldn't help but laugh wildly as he spoke... "Don't worry, after we three brothers are done playing with you, I'll send you down to reunite with your family!"

"What? What did you do to my father?" Lan Xiaoxun asked anxiously.

The man in black closed in, sneering, "Iron Knife King Lan Jingxiong, do you really think he's invincible? No matter how powerful he is, he's just an old man in his twilight years. I've already sent him to reincarnation! After I'm done with you, I'll go back to Tianjin and wipe out your Lan family!"

"Tsk tsk!" The man in black chuckled lewdly, "Don't worry, we won't kill you right away after we're done! We're even more interested in your mother; it would be a disservice to our fallen brothers not to have her too."

"Why waste so much time talking nonsense!" the tall man glared and said, "Hurry up and grab her before the others find out!"

"Okay." As soon as he finished speaking, the three of them attacked Lan Xiaoxun.

Although Lan Xiaoxun was flustered, she immediately swung her sword to defend herself, anxiously thinking of a way to escape.

The three of them toyed with her like a kitten, constantly spewing vulgarities and attacking her here and there. Lan Xiaoxun's skills were only third-rate, and she couldn't withstand the attack of three grown men, but she still managed to retreat into the courtyard, fighting as she went.

"Help..." Lan Xiaoxun frantically swung her sword, but when they weren't paying attention, she suddenly shouted at the top of her lungs.

The sharp female voice, filled with panic and unease, immediately echoed through the night sky. Xu Ping was almost scared off the roof. Did this girl have a megaphone in her voice? How could she shout so loudly? Xu Ping slapped his forehead to come to his senses, only to see that the sword in her hand had been knocked away, and the cute little beauty looked like a helpless lamb. A hero must choose the best time to save a damsel in distress, and this was the perfect opportunity!

"Stop!"

Xu Ping roared, leaping out with the most stylish and graceful movements, nimbly landing in front of Lan Xiaoxun.

"Brother Xu!" Lan Xiaoxun looked at the familiar young man in white and immediately asked with surprise, "What are you doing here!"

Xu Ping turned around and smiled gently at her. Seeing her flushed face, he found it amusing and couldn't help but tease her, "Don't you want me here? If I weren't here, where would such a good opportunity to be a hero and save a damsel in distress come from?"

"No way!" Lan Xiaoxun blushed, then immediately said worriedly, "Aren't you a traveling scholar? You don't know martial arts, what are you doing out here? Isn't this just throwing your life away?"

Xu Ping looked at her, both amused and exasperated, "Alright, little sister, I've already suffered enough sleeping outdoors. I finally managed to fall asleep, and then you woke me up. I might get a beating, or even die! Can't you be even a little grateful to me?"

"Who asks for gratitude?" Lan Xiaoxun muttered, looking at the three menacing figures, and lowered her voice, saying, "Brother Xu, why don't you run first? I know martial arts, I can hold them off for a bit. You just need to hurry up and find someone to save me!"

Xu Ping almost rolled his eyes. With your pathetic skills, by the time I find someone, you'll be ten months pregnant, what kind of rescue will you be then?

"Who are you!" The man in black, seeing the two whispering, stepped forward and said menacingly, "You brat, how dare you meddle in our business! You want to die?"

"Brother, you're mistaken!" Xu Ping politely cupped his hands and said, "When we see injustice, although we can't necessarily draw our swords to help, we should at least come out and watch the excitement. You've made such a commotion, people are naturally curious, they'll definitely come out to see what's going on!"

The three were stunned by this strange remark, but then they saw Lan Xiaoxun chuckling. Enraged, the tall man drew his knife and snarled, "You want to die? I'll grant your wish!"

"Fighting and killing isn't good!" Xu Ping feigned fear, waving his hands. "Besides, fists and feet have no eyes, swords have no mercy. Let's be civilized, a little banter, a little argument, that's fine, okay?"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Lan Xiaoxun couldn't stand the nagging any longer, stepping forward resolutely. "If you want to fight, then fight! Why all the talk?"

The three men gave her approving looks, then glanced at Xu Ping with disdain, gripping their sharp knives and beginning to approach step by step.

"You idiot, what's a scholar doing out here!" Lan Xiaoxun glared at Xu Ping, but then thought better of it and felt she'd gone too far. She sighed deeply and said, "Never mind, thank you anyway, Brother Xu! It's already commendable that you stepped forward, I'm sorry for saying so much!"

"That's not important!" Xu Ping looked at her pitifully and asked, "Are you really going to fight?"

Lan Xiaoxun nodded resolutely, gritting her teeth, and said, "Although I don't know if what they're saying is true or false, they definitely won't let it go. If we don't fight, we have no chance of survival!"

As she spoke, she blushed slightly, saying with a hint of shyness, "If they defile my innocence, I'd rather commit suicide!"

Seeing her so shy for the first time, her blushing face was quite charming, and Xu Ping was slightly taken aback.

"Hah..." The tall one attacked first, taking advantage of the moment to slash at Xu Ping with his knife!

"Oh my god!" Xu Ping pretended to be scared, turned around, and fell to the ground with Lan Xiaoxun, dodging the deadly blow. He seized the opportunity to embrace her warm, soft body!

"Brother Xu, get up quickly!" Lan Xiaoxun, no longer caring about being taken advantage of, was on the verge of the second cut, tears welling up in her eyes.

So soft, so fragrant! Xu Ping savored the softness of her body and inhaled the unique scent of a young girl, utterly intoxicated! But right now, it was best to deal with these three good-for-nothings. Hearing the sharp whooshing sound behind him, he spun her around without turning back, then dodged again!

"Sorry, I slipped." Xu Ping smiled apologetically, his hand casually resting on her buttocks, feeling their elasticity and softness—the touch was wonderful.

Lan Xiaoxun blushed, naturally aware of the difference between men and women. It was inappropriate for a man to hold her innocent body like this, but given the tense situation, the thought only flashed through her mind. In a flash, she hurriedly scrambled off Xu Ping.

Xu Ping had also taken advantage of the situation, and after a quick assessment, he realized the girl's figure was quite good. Although still developing and a bit immature, she was still rather shapely.

The two stood up and exchanged embarrassed glances. At this moment, the men in black had formed a triangle and surrounded them. Lan Xiaoxun's eyes were filled with panic and vigilance as she and Xu Ping were forced to retreat.

Cornered against the wall, Lan Xiaoxun, seeing no way to escape, gritted her teeth and stood in front of Xu Ping, apologetically saying, "I'm sorry, Brother Xu, I've dragged you into this."

"I'm not afraid of being dragged into this!" Xu Ping shook his head, feeling a pang of heartache at her aggrieved expression. But still, his playful mood returned, and he threatened, "But I'm afraid your innocence will be violated; that would be utterly despicable."

Lan Xiaoxun paused, looked at Xu Ping, and said irritably, "Are you a bookworm? You still have the mood to say such things at a time like this?" But perhaps out of fear, her voice trembled as she spoke.

The three men seemed intent on capturing Lan Xiaoxun alive, but seeing her standing before them, they hesitated to strike. The man in black sneered, "Little wench, you'd better come here yourself! Behave yourself, and we might consider letting your friend go."

Xu Ping inwardly cursed them. Were they trying to scare a child? Women could be raped, but men wouldn't be sodomized, would they? Of course, a quick kill would be the best solution. They'd probably pounce on her the moment she left. Damn it, he hated hypocrites like them.

Lan Xiaoxun seemed tempted. She gave Xu Ping a resentful look, hesitated, and said, "Brother Xu, I don't want to implicate you. You should leave!"

"You...you're not afraid of them defiled your virginity?" Xu Ping looked at her in astonishment. This girl was out of her mind, believing such childish lies. Although he felt a pang of contempt, he also thought she was quite righteous and

worthy of admiration.

"What else can I do!" Lan Xiaoxun said, her eyes already reddening. Whether it was out of worry for her family or out of sadness for herself, she didn't know.

"Wait!" Seeing her about to step forward, Xu Ping quickly grabbed her, asking with a wronged expression, "Isn't there any other way?"

"What can I do!" Lan Xiaoxun said helplessly, "I can't beat them. If I could, I would have killed them long ago, and I wouldn't be in this situation!"

"Haha, what a pipe dream!" The three of them burst into laughter. To them, this was simply a fantasy!

"Oh, that's good!"

The act was almost over. Xu Ping pretended to suddenly realize something, pulled her close, and deliberately complained, "It's so easy to solve this. Why didn't you say so sooner?"

"What are you doing?" Lan Xiaoxun looked at Xu Ping in surprise.

"Didn't you say killing them would solve the problem?" Xu Ping smiled foolishly and said, "Then let's kill them!" "Haha..." The other two were already laughing so hard they couldn't stop!

Xu Ping didn't say anything more. He pushed Lan Xiaoxun's hand away, took a step forward, and smiled gently. Suddenly, his eyes turned cold, and he rushed towards them with a strange movement, disappearing from the spot almost instantly!

"No! Brother Xu!" Lan Xiaoxun screamed in fright.

Before the three men could even process their laughter, Xu Ping was already grinning wickedly in front of them. He delivered a powerful punch to the shorter man's chest, and with a dull thud, the man immediately collapsed, coughing up blood!

The force of the punch had shattered his heart; he was now practically dead. Taking advantage of the other two's momentary daze, Xu Ping spun around and swept a swift kick across the black-clad man's neck. With a crack, his neck bones shattered, and he flew straight out, crashing into a pillar before landing softly, his body convulsing and unable to move.

"Brother Xu, you're amazing!" Lan Xiaoxun, who had initially been watching with bated breath, couldn't bear to see Xu Ping's gruesome state, but now, seeing that Xu Ping had killed two men with a single move, she immediately shouted excitedly.

"So-so!" Xu Ping smiled smugly, then turned and coldly looked at the tall man who was already terrified, saying each word clearly, "And you, how do you want to die!"

"Brother Xu, don't kill him yet!" Lan Xiaoxun hurriedly stopped him, "I still have questions to ask!"

"Then I'll spare your life!" As Xu Ping spoke, his fingers moved like the wind, tapping the man's body a few times.

The tall man was stunned by this sudden change, and when he came to his senses, a sharp pain shot through his body! He screamed and found that all the meridians in his body were sealed, and except for his feet, all the other joints were crushed. He immediately screamed like a pig being slaughtered. Xu Ping quickly used acupressure to relieve the pain. Hearing the man's scream reminded him of the scene just now, and goosebumps rose all over his body.

Leading him back, Lan Xiaoxun excitedly asked, "Brother Xu, didn't you say you were a traveling scholar? How come your martial arts are so amazing?"

Xu Ping smiled gently, looking puzzled, and said, "Who says scholars can't know martial arts? That's strange!"

"No, no, that's not what I meant," Lan Xiaoxun hurriedly shook her head, "I just think it's impressive that you're both scholarly and martial. What kind of martial arts do you use? Could you teach me sometime?"

"No problem!" Xu Ping thought to himself that apart from the internal energy of the Battle Dragon Technique, all his moves were just for showing off, so there seemed to be nothing to hide.

Lan Xiaoxun nodded excitedly, but after a while, she felt something was off and asked suspiciously, "Brother Xu, if you know martial arts, why didn't you use it at first? And why were you so scared by those bad guys?" As she spoke, a hint of doubt appeared in her eyes, and a blush began to creep onto her face.

Afraid she'd realize he was taking advantage of her, Xu Ping quickly explained, "I didn't know if I could beat them, and in my haste, I forgot I knew martial arts."

"That can't be true!" Lan Xiaoxun was both amused and exasperated, but her delicate face suddenly flushed red, as if she remembered the scene of Xu Ping pinning her down.

Along the way, Lan Xiaoxun had already finished interrogating the tall man. It turned out their talk was just to scare her. Their real purpose was to kidnap her and coerce her father into submission. Enraged, Lan Xiaoxun kept throwing stones at him from behind, acting like a child throwing a tantrum, which Xu Ping found quite amusing.

"That damned Chen Xiaobao, didn't he come out to check on things with all that noise?" As soon as they returned to the courtyard, Lan Xiaoxun's fiery temper flared up again, and she stormed off to confront him. Xu Ping, of course, didn't stop her, but he thought it would be a real sin for this pretty girl to see such a lewd scene!

"Ah..." Lan Xiaoxun kicked open the door, and was immediately terrified by the scene inside. She let out a long scream and quickly turned her head away, too scared to look.

Xu Ping also looked shocked, pointing at the several burly men still entangled in their mess, and said angrily, "The world is no more! This guy has homosexual tendencies! He's utterly morally corrupt, despicable!" As he said this, Xu Ping was already rubbing his face. What exactly is morality?

"Stop talking, let's go!" Lan Xiaoxun blushed and angrily grabbed Xu Ping's hand!

"Hmm!" Xu Ping nodded, feigning anger, but then sneered, grabbed the tall, weak man, sealed his pressure points, and casually threw him onto the bed!

"No!" the tall man cried out, his face pale, but his clothes were immediately torn by the several burly men who had surrounded him. Already injured, and now completely submerged in a sea of men, only his heart-wrenching screams remained.

"How shameless!" Lan Xiaoxun continued to curse, her face flushed, as she walked towards the backyard. "How could Father make me get engaged to someone like that? It's outrageous! I just thought he was annoying, but I never imagined he was this kind of person!"

"Everyone has their good points!" Xu Ping sighed. Putting aside the issue of him competing with him for a girl, he was just thankful he hadn't been sodomized.

Reaching her bedroom, Lan Xiaoxun finally snapped out of her daze. Seeing Xu Ping following behind her, she immediately blushed and asked, "Brother S, why aren't you going back yet?"

"I've been sleeping outdoors all this time, where am I supposed to go?" Xu Ping gave a pitiful, bitter smile.

Lan Xiaoxun thought for a moment, her face slightly reddening, and said, "If you really can't manage, come sit here for a bit! Anyway, I can't sleep tonight because of what happened. I can listen to you tell me about those interesting things, how about we have a late-night chat?"

"Okay!" Xu Ping smiled and nodded, thinking to himself, "Doing things without turning off the lights, you little girl really have good taste!"

Lan Xiaoxun asked her maid to prepare some snacks. Thinking about bringing a man to her boudoir for the first time, a lone man and woman alone together, she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. Though she was a bit dazed, after such intimate contact and being rescued by a hero, her budding heart couldn't remain calm. She secretly glanced at Xu Ping, thinking the young man before her was as white as jade, indeed extremely handsome!

Well-educated, polite, and skilled in both literature and martial arts, he was far superior to Chen Xiaobao! It seemed like he wouldn't be bad as her husband. Thinking this, Lan Xiaoxun blushed, inwardly scolding herself for being so shameless.

"What's wrong?" Xu Ping, observing her expression, knew he had stirred her girlish heart, but still pretended to be concerned and asked.

Lan Xiaoxun quickly waved her hand, smiling and saying, "Nothing!" She pushed open the door, looking somewhat embarrassed.

"Brother Xu, please come in!" Xu

Ping nodded with a smile, stepping inside. He seemed to already faintly smell a delicate fragrance. Although it was a temporary stay, the small room appeared to be specially prepared for women. The only flaw was that the room was decorated very warmly and quietly, with pink tones suggesting it had previously belonged to a well-educated young lady, somewhat unsuitable for Lan Xiaoxun's fiery personality.

"Brother Xu, please have some water!" Lan Xiaoxun gracefully poured Xu Ping a cup of tea, only then realizing, somewhat oblivious, that the tall man was gone. Looking around, she asked, "Brother Xu, where's that lecherous thief?"

Xu Ping smiled slyly and said, "When I peeked through the door just now, I saw a wicked glint in his eyes! Chen Xiaobao was the same. To help him out, I just pushed him in."

"Ugh, stop talking about that!" Lan Xiaoxun pouted, but perhaps remembering that disgusting

scene , her face turned slightly pale.

"By the way, Xiaoxun!" Xu Ping put down his wine glass and asked curiously, "How did you find him? These people seem to have a grudge against your family."

Lan Xiaoxun nodded and said, "I only noticed him lurking around in my room by chance. He definitely doesn't look like a good person. My father said that he had a deep-seated hatred for the Sky Eagle Sect in his early years. It seems they came here for revenge." "

Then why did you call him a lecher?" Xu Ping asked, full of doubt.

Lan Xiaoxun stuck out her tongue sheepishly, looking incredibly cute. She said somewhat embarrassedly, "I just blurted it out. It wouldn't be fun if it were a thief!"

"Oh!" Xu Ping gave a slight "oh," and said with a grin, "Could it be that Chen Xiaobao was drugged? Those guys looked lecherous; they're not good people!"

"The drug must have been in the water, right?" Lan Xiaoxun said, finishing her tea with a thirsty drink, her expression suddenly turning slightly off.

Xu Ping also looked at his teacup, staring wide-eyed, and asked, "Um, Xiaoxun! Did you change your tea?"

Lan Xiaoxun looked bewildered, shook her head, and said, "No! It's the same pot as before." (
