Chapter Six: Planning Ahead.

Shui Linfeng said, "Just what? Don't stammer like you're giving oral sex!"

Everyone burst into laughter. Li Xiaoran, kneeling at his feet, laughed the loudest. Shui Linfeng said to the beautiful beasts standing around, "Aren't you going to come and serve us?"

The beautiful beasts were already completely naked, wearing only knee-high boots, ready to be fucked at any time. Hearing this, they all crawled to the crotches of the leaders of the various Blade Peak troops at Shui Linfeng's signal, opening their cherry-like mouths to give oral sex. Several female leaders of the Seductive Lightning troops also clapped their hands and called over the female beasts, pressing them between their legs and ordering them to lick their holes.

Shui Linfeng grabbed Li Xiaoran, who was laughing the loudest. Before Shui Linfeng could make his next move, Li Xiaoran eagerly crawled between his legs, put her mouth on his zipper, skillfully pulled it down, licked out his penis with her fragrant tongue, flicked it with the tip of her tongue, and put it into her small mouth, enjoying it.

Seeing this, Sun Zihan, kneeling beside her, was consumed by jealousy. She angrily squeezed between Shui Linfeng's legs, and looking up, she saw that her master's entire penis was being swallowed and licked by Li Xiaoran, her juices dripping down her lips. Li Xiaoran refused to spit it out, so she reluctantly opened her mouth and began licking her master's inner thighs.

Shui Linfeng stroked their smooth, bare backs, comfortably spreading his legs across their plump buttocks. Qin Yihong and Liu Lijing also leaned down from behind, one on each side, and began licking Shui Linfeng's nipples.

The Big and Little Flute Beasts and Shuangtao were a little slow to react, and could only kneel behind Li Xiaoran and Sun Zihan's plump buttocks, vying to lick Shui Linfeng's toes. Xu Ying, Gao Lu, Zhang Lan, and the others couldn't get any sensitive areas, and could only kiss and lick various parts of Shui Linfeng's body.

While Zhou Tianhao was receiving services from two stunningly beautiful women, he said, "On the southern slope of the main peak, at Taizidun, there are two imperial tombs from the Southern Tang Dynasty. They are key cultural relics under national protection. Most people who come to the area around Zudang Mountain are here specifically to see these two Southern Tang tombs!"

Shui Linfeng said, "Those two ghostly tombs are poorly constructed. They're built right next to the dragon's claw, adjacent to the dragon's head that I've chosen. If I were to build a house there, I would definitely choose that auspicious land on the dragon's head, facing south and backing north. We've seen that place; it's full of broken walls and ruins. There must have been some large buildings there before. Judging from what's left, it must have been a very large temple, built from the foot of the mountain, following the contours of the terrain! I hate those bastards from the previous dynasty the most, they're everywhere..." "Digging mountains to build tombs, even if you die, you still have to occupy sacred mountains and waters! I've seen it with my Heavenly Wolf Eye; within these mountains, covering tens of thousands of acres, there are over thirty large tombs and hundreds of scattered graves. The large tombs are all from a thousand years ago, the most obvious being the tomb of a high-ranking official from the Ming Dynasty, which is eight hundred years old. There must be many good things inside. Starting tomorrow, I'll point out the locations, and Little Tyrant Dongfang Ping will lead a company of men to dig up all those tombs, take out the valuables, and then use Dao lightning to scatter all the wandering ghosts inside, dragging out the corpses to feed the dogs!"

Little Tyrant Dongfang Ping, who was ejaculating a thick stream of semen into the mouth of a beautiful female beast, laughed upon hearing this, "No problem! I love digging these up!" "These are the tombs of high-ranking officials and emperors, but the corpses are too heavy to feed to dogs; they won't eat them. We'll just have to burn them on the spot!"

Shui Linfeng laughed, "Very true! Very true!"

Zhou Tianhao, the chess player, said, "The two Southern Tang tombs have long been excavated, and all the valuables inside have been taken! Only two empty tombs remain, attracting tourists every few days. It's really inconvenient for us to build houses near them!"

Shui Linfeng laughed, "There will be thunderstorms and strong winds tonight. Take a few men, bring plenty of high explosives, and completely flatten those two ghostly tombs. Wouldn't that be a clean break?"

Baile Dao Suhar laughed, "A clean break is my nickname! Is that what you call me, sir?"

Shui Linfeng laughed, "Just focus on stabbing! Don't..." " Put your cock in a beautiful woman's asshole!"

Suhar said. "Good lord, you know that inserting your cock into a woman's asshole is actually quite arousing. There's even a name for it, called 'flower insertion from behind.' Haven't you tried it, lord?"

Shui Linfeng laughed. "Li Xiaoran! Turn around, stick your ass out, spread your asshole open, and I'm going to insert it into your asshole!"

Li Xiaoran exclaimed in surprise, "Master! Don't listen to that pervert Suhar. That beast's asshole is incredibly smelly. You can't insert it there. If that beast's stinking excrement sticks to your cock, it won't be easy to clean off, and it will be disgusting!"

Shui Linfeng thought about it and agreed. He then pushed her to the ground and began to penetrate her flesh. After a round of lovemaking, everyone was satisfied, and the dark clouds in the sky grew thicker. Lightning flashed faintly in the distance.

Luo Bangguo, the commander of the Fourth Regiment of the Xingyi School's Soaring Eagle, ranked tenth among the Thirteen Dragon Souls. He had previously been recruited by Shui Linfeng. Now, reclining on a large rock while two females cleaned their gun barrels, he said to Shui Linfeng, "My lord! Brute force alone won't work. In my opinion, to establish a long-term foothold, we must cultivate relationships with government officials!"

Huang Ling'er of the Yi School, ranked third among the Thirteen Dragon Souls, was highly trusted by Wu Aizi. She had been robbed by Shui Linfeng and his men while escorting over a dozen large cash trucks from the capital region and was subsequently recruited into the Lihun Lace. Now, she was the battalion commander of the Second Battalion of Shui Linfeng's Meidian Force. She chimed in, "Old Luo is right! Many of us used to be in the Intelligence Bureau. Everyone here is surely very familiar with the situation in Dongjiang Province. The governor of Dongjiang Province, Zhang Guohua, was originally promoted by our Intelligence Bureau. We can completely..." "Use a secret order to summon him out and make him obey our lord's orders!"

He Yiqing, the battalion commander of the Meidian Force, laughed, "We can easily control Lei Dapeng, the director of the Criminal Investigation Bureau of Nantian City. Why don't we issue a false order to summon Zhang Guohua, the governor of Dongjiang Province, and everyone else to be subdued? Officially, no one will question what we're doing here!"

Shui Linfeng laughed, "Shangjiang City is also under the jurisdiction of Dongjiang Province. After subduing their leader, we can easily get them to issue a document claiming wrongful arrest and shift the blame to a dead man. My Yihong can then live a normal life again!"

He Yiqing said, "That's simple. The officialdom is full of infighting. I've already slaughtered everyone in that place with my three female dragons. I'm sure the higher-ups are forcing them to investigate thoroughly. With everyone in that place dead, no one will sympathize with him." Instead, many will kick them while they're down. Let them review the case files; it's not just about Hong Guniang. Let them release more people to create an illusion and mislead the public!

Bai Yingfeng, the battalion commander of the Third Battalion of the Meidian Force, ranked ninth among the Thirteen Dragon Souls, interjected: "Nantian City has two intelligence agencies, one overt and one covert. The intelligence agency's territorial divisions differ from administrative divisions. The so-called Nantianlu Intelligence Bureau actually oversees intelligence in four provinces: Dongjiang, Linhai, Anru, and Nanjiang. The overt one

is Iron Hand Sun Jian. He used to be my subordinate. I'll meet him, use the intelligence agency's secret order to lure him out, subdue him, and hand him over to my master. This will allow me to control all the intelligence agents and informants within the Nantianlu Intelligence Bureau's jurisdiction. This way, I can trace and eliminate officials, gangsters, and outlaws along this line!" The

covert one... One group, the "Rose-Haired" women's team led by Wei Li, nicknamed "The Flying Flowers with Skill," has already been dispatched by Wu the Dwarf to the north to infiltrate the Zhao family's territory. They won't be returning anytime soon. The only concern is the military!

Huang Ling'er laughed, "The military can only deploy troops on a large scale after receiving orders from the central government. Generally speaking, they don't interfere in local affairs. When I came out from beside the lord, I heard that Yue Zhengyang, the son of the Yue family, is causing trouble in the twelve provinces of southeastern Zedong. Now, the Yue family army is gradually losing popular support. Moreover, the Emperor already intends to completely eliminate these non-royal armies. After dealing with the Zhao family in the north, he will also take action against these local non-royal forces. Our concern is to prevent the central government from knowing that we are operating here. Only by silencing the three local authorities—the administration, the criminal investigation department, and the intelligence department—can we cause chaos here without anyone interfering!"

The leader of the Blade's Edge Regiment, Bloodstained River, Five Tigers Severing the Gate, Blade Zhan Lianda, said, "This area, and as far as possible beyond, will be controlled by my men. Thirty years ago, when I was ordered to eradicate the evil cult Wenxiang Sect, I learned many evil methods for controlling the ignorant masses. These methods are worthless to us martial arts practitioners, but they are particularly effective in controlling these ignorant men and women on a large scale! However, I need to borrow a few dozen of your private horses, my lord! At least fifty! If my lord is unwilling, I really can't find that many beautiful women to use right now!"

Shui Linfeng sighed, "It's frustrating to talk about this. If Xiang Jingyu were willing to help, I would already have thousands of buses at my disposal. What you're playing with now is all from my private collection! I even contacted Old Ghost Yuwen the other day, saying that he had already helped..." "I sold around 150 tons, 3,000 exquisite females, over 200 of which were high-quality and without injuries. Once they're reborn, why worry about not having high-quality, exquisite females? However, this involves the Wu family, and buying such a large number of females requires legal identities and procedures; there can't be the slightest mistake. If the central government of Daze discovers our existence, they will definitely try every means to wipe us out, and then we'll be busy fighting all day!"

Qin Yihong interjected, "Husband! Can we go find Xiang Jingyu again?"

Liu Lijin said, "That Xiang guy is rich and powerful now, he doesn't want to see our husband!"

Zhan Lianda laughed, "Over the years, I've been involved in the extermination of various underworld and bandit forces, and I have a lot of information in my mind. Actually, if our lord goes to the Xiang family and suddenly buys a large number of processed, even slightly injured, females..." "This will arouse Wu the Dwarf's suspicion!"

Shui Linfeng asked. "What do you mean?"

Zhan Lianda replied, "The Xiang family colludes with the underworld and even bandits, using the name of the royal family to build their fortune through various drug, gambling, prostitution, and arms deals. Every single thing they do is actually on file with the intelligence bureau, but the time isn't right yet. They won't kill him until he's fattened up. Besides, Wu the Dwarf also has his own selfish motives; he wants to gain without effort and seize the Xiang family's assets, so he hasn't reported it to the Emperor.

Most of the prostitutes in the Xiang family's prostitution business are bought in bulk from the Tongnu Yuan (a brothel for slave traders). In addition, many of the higher-quality prostitutes are obtained by paying people to intercept female prisoners en route to the prisons of Gunzhou and Qingzhou. The prostitutes bought from the Tongnu Yuan are roughly trained, of average appearance, or slightly attractive, and sent to mid- to low-end nightclubs, yukies, and sauerkraut parlors." They recruit women into various entertainment venues. Those with attractive looks and good figures are meticulously trained by Jingxingtang, and after successful training, they are sent to high-end five-star hotels and private clubs. The best females are kept as livestock, either given away or kept for personal enjoyment. In fact, over the years, Jingxingtang has primarily dealt with the business of various affiliated companies and regular clients under the Xiang family. The economy of the southeastern provinces of Daze, and even more distant provinces, has gradually been monopolized by the Xiang Group!

As a royal family, the Xiang family's businesses are exempt from taxes and they dare to engage in any industry. Conversely, the original state-owned enterprises in Daze not only have to pay taxes but also suffer from heavy personnel burdens. Factory directors, senior executives, and middle-level cadres are extremely corrupt, causing factories to close down or become defunct! Even the females handled by the Wu family, even those in perfect condition, the Xiang family has never bought a single one, let alone those with serious injuries or disabilities. "What? On the contrary, the Xiang family group disposes of a large number of prostitutes and enslaved animals every year, treating them as garbage and disposing of them through various channels. The number is no less than that of the Wu family, and may even be more. Why would his family buy other people's garbage? According to the data collected by my subordinates over the years, there are only three families in the world that have purchased large quantities of enslaved animals from the Wu and Xiang families and various families in Daze. These three families are the Ji family, a prominent noble family in Longyuan City, Linhai Province; the Liao family, a prominent noble family in Shangjiang City, Dongjiang Province; and the Meng family, a wealthy noble family in Haishan City, Guanzhong Province!"

Shui Linfeng laughed, "I buy these human garbage because I have a Demon Body Regeneration Scroll. After buying them, I can regenerate them, eliminate all their injuries, and they will still be virgins. These enslaved animals, carefully selected by the Wu family, are extremely beautiful and cheap. After they are done, they will be used by my brothers for their amusement. Do these three families also have something similar to the Demon Body Regeneration Scroll?" "Taoist magic weapon?"

Zhang Chongming, the Divine Whip, interjected, "I've patronized countless prostitutes, and I've never heard of any large brothel being run by these three."

Zhan Lianda laughed, "So when I received this news, Wu the Dwarf also asked me to investigate. As you all know, all the imperial nobles reside in two places in Daze, one in the capital city and the other in Nantian City. Those scattered throughout the world have their own compelling reasons, either to command large armies or to be stationed there by orders. But these three families voluntarily moved far away, all to small coastal cities. The reason for this is that the heads of these three families all share a similar hobby, and it's all about food. The Ji family of Longyuan City in Linhai has loved to eat salted 'beauty tongue' for generations; the Liao family of Shangjiang City loves to eat 'beauty hand and claw soup'; and the Meng family of Haishan City loves to eat 'small pavilion fresh abalone'.

Just think about it, a beautiful woman has..." How many tongues? How many hands or how many labia? Because of this hobby, the three families bought large quantities of female slaves from various processing households for consumption. After live butchering, they would still sell these females at low prices, ultimately ending up in the hands of a special state-owned meat processing plant. The workers in this state-owned meat processing plant were all death row inmates, managed by the Gan family, a trusted family of the Wu family. After slaughtering these male and female beasts, the Gan family would utilize as much of the usable parts as possible within the Great Swamp Empire. Most of the human flesh was flash-frozen and sent to the Beast Territory in exchange for energy. The Gan family was not only in charge of processing the human flesh but also controlled the supply of all live pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, and poultry in the Great Swamp. Of course, there were also underworld dealers who slaughtered people alive, but selling human flesh as food yielded little profit, so not many people did it.”

Shui Linfeng said, “Damn!” "If there's a famine someday and all the meat comes from the Gan family, how will I be able to tell if it's human flesh or pork, beef,

or mutton!" Baihu Loukan interjected, "I can tell the difference. Human flesh smells better, but the meat is tougher. Raw pork is much more tender. I'm a practical person, and in terms of taste, I'd rather eat pork than human flesh. Only those so-called beastmen from the far north, somewhere between humans and beasts, who are born walking upright, would be so foolish as to eat the frozen meat you sell! Even if it's pork, it's fresh and delicious! I'd rather die than eat any frozen meat; it's stiff and has no chewiness at all!"

Baihu's penis was different from a human's; it was thick and long, and except for the glans which had no skin, the entire shaft was covered with stiff white hairs. It was also long; when it was inserted into a female animal's vulva, it felt like a long, stiff brush, extremely uncomfortable. There wasn't a trace of pleasure in it. Four or five stunningly beautiful females were all ravaged by his thrusting, lying on the ground barely breathing!

Shui Linfeng said with heartache, "Using your cock to penetrate my female beasts, it hurts me to death to watch! This isn't sex! It's torture! If I had known your cock was like this, I should have caught a few female tigers when I took you in!"

Lou Kan said, "My lord, don't say you feel heartache. Your human little holes are too tender. What I'm doing doesn't even tickle you. I just didn't want to spoil your fun. Besides, you're all having sex, and I'm just standing there bored. If my lord agrees, I'll go to the nearby zoo or animal training troupe and find a few tigers, leopards, or lions that I like to have fun with. Wouldn't that be much more enjoyable than fucking these limp female beasts?"

The beautiful beasts all looked at Shui Linfeng with pleading, teary eyes. Shui Linfeng said, "Stop looking! Just bear with it for now! Old Lou is right. We're all having fun. If I let him stand by, it would seem too disloyal. When we get back, I'll give you a second chance to be reborn, so that there won't be any problems with your babies." "Tiger fur, it's so prickly! Old Lou! Anyway, there's nothing serious right now, so if you want to look for it, go ahead! Be careful! Don't make a big fuss, just take it away quietly, don't alert anyone, understand?"

Lou Kan laughed, "Of course, my lord, give me some human money to use, you can't expect me to force my way into the circus, can you?"

Shui Linfeng said to Qin Yihong, "Give him tens of thousands of yuan, this guy will definitely go out drinking and having fun, if you give him too little money, who knows what kind of trouble he might cause!"

Qin Yihong nodded, "Yes! Husband! Lou Kan! I have a question for you, I don't find it strange that you went to find a tigress, but why do you want to find a leopard and a lion?"

Lou Kan laughed, "My little madam doesn't know, since ancient times, lions, tigers, and leopards have been inseparable, and the three can mate freely. Tigers and lions can produce howling beasts, which are what you humans call liger beasts or tiger-lion beasts, tigers and leopards can produce spotted beasts...!"

Shui Linfeng said, "Stop! You silly tiger, if you create a bunch of furry things running around in the cauldron, wouldn't that be troublesome?"

Lou

Kan laughed loudly, "Master! You're supposed to be a cultivator, have you ever heard of immortals giving birth to little immortals? Everything has its gains and losses. After humans cultivate to the level of immortal or divine, they lose their reproductive ability. The higher the cultivation level, the lower the reproductive ability, until it's completely lost. We beasts and birds are even worse off. Once we cultivate to the level of a hundred-refined demon body, which is your innate Dao body, we lose our reproductive ability. If the tigress I find gives birth to cubs for me, it will definitely be from her and another..." "The child of a tiger's adultery, how could I not kill her?"

Bai Meiyu laughed from the side, "Master! Lou Kan is right! He's been quite lonely these past few hundred years! In the two mountains of Lü and Liang, there's only one tiger, this one surnamed Lou. On Liang Mountain, I have many of my kind. Last time, we were all in the cauldron together, and it was quite enjoyable. It's just that the time inside the cauldron is different from the outside world. Every time I come out and go back in, my beloved crane bell has died of old

age. If Master would be willing to have the Great and Little Xiao Beasts implant my beloved kind into my main essence, making them into low-level Hundred Refined Demon Bodies, and then slowly cultivate them, keeping them by my side for a long time, then this lowly servant would be eternally grateful!" Shui Linfeng chuckled inwardly, knowing that she didn't... Knowing that any creature imbued with the Soul-Slaying Thorn would forever remain its slave, she laughed heartily, "Alright! You can have Shuangxiao make the crane bell you chose! However, after implanting the main essence, it will naturally make a human into an innate Dao body, but whether it will work on beasts and birds, I don't know! By the way! How's that chicken spirit I asked you to watch over a few days ago?"

Bai Meiyu smiled, "Does Master want to fuck her?"

Shui Linfeng saw her strange smile and asked, "What do you mean?"

Bai Meiyu said, "That bamboo chicken spirit also misses Master very much, but when Master fucks her, there's something I need to explain first, lest Master... " "People were astonished when they arrived. We birds have a different reproductive system than you humans. Our anus and vagina share one exit; there's only one hole below. When the master fucks her, he identifies that one and only hole to insert into! That bamboo chicken spirit, though it has cultivated such a beautiful human form, is completely ignorant of human affairs and doesn't even have a name yet!"

Shui Linfeng laughed, "I've already thought of a name for her. When we go down the mountain, you can have her come to see me! You birds are so strange! No, no! I'm too curious. Let us see her first!"

Bai Meiyu stood up with a smile, lifting her white, lotus-leaf-hemmed skirt in front of everyone, revealing her vulva, which indeed had only one hole.

Shui Linfeng laughed, "If the female bird is like this, that's fine, but what about the male bird?"

Bai Meiyu said, "Master has had this lowly servant for some time now, but hasn't fucked her yet. How about we talk while you fuck her?"

Shui Linfeng, intrigued, immediately agreed without hesitation, ordering Bai Meiyu to perform oral sex before starting the doggy style!

Bai Meixin moaned comfortably for a long time before saying, "When a male beast wants to mate, it sticks its penis out of its hole, but when it comes to fucking, its size and length are far less pleasurable than the master's!"

Lou Kan angrily retorted, "You sycophantic fox, why didn't you let me fuck you back in Lüliang Mountain? My penis is definitely longer and more erect than the master's!"

Bai Meiyu said, "Is your penis for sex? Neither humans nor birds can stand it! You beast—!"

Shui Linfeng laughed loudly, and after his first time, he released Bai Meiyu, ready to discuss serious matters! Xu Ying eagerly ran up, took Shui Linfeng's penis into her mouth, and began to lick and suck it beautifully.

Shui Linfeng laughed, "Let's make a schedule when we get back, specifying which day and which person, to avoid any fighting. I have important business to discuss. You slut, after you've finished cleaning the gun barrel, kneel down and obey!"

He reached out and touched her smooth, bare back, sighing, "The tattoos on your back used to be so beautiful, but unfortunately, after your rebirth, they can't be kept. Liu Lijin is the same; all the tattoos she used to have on her private parts are gone. What a pity!"

Liu Lijin said, "Husband, just get someone from Jingxingtang to tattoo them again!"

Shui Linfeng said, "Jingxingtang is a membership-based business. They definitely won't accept my public identity, and besides, I don't want to tattoo either of you!"

Da Xiaoshou laughed, "What's so difficult about that! Why not kidnap all the people from Jingxingtang you mentioned, teach them the tattooing skills, and you can tattoo us slowly when you have free time? Wouldn't that be better?" These words were

like a wake-up call. Shui Linfeng clapped his hands and laughed, "Does anyone here know anything about the inner workings of Jingxingtang?"

Li Xiaoran said, "I know! I once helped the Intelligence Bureau investigate all the big and small [businesses] across the country... " In the Southern Heaven, there are two nationally renowned organizations specializing in training female animals. One is the "Serious Nature Hall" that my husband mentioned, and the other is the "Lustful Delight Hall." The female animals they train are all unique and far more skilled than those trained at the "Spring Play Hall" in the capital. The Serious Nature Hall has over thirty staff members, and the Lustful Delight Hall has about the same number. If my husband wants to take them in, tonight I'll lead men and kidnap all the staff from both halls. However, after kidnapping them, I don't want to manage them in the future; I'm used to being free. "I don't want to manage people!"

Shui Linfeng laughed. "Alright! Tonight, you take Xu Ying, Zhang Lan, and Li Yu, select fifty members of the Enchantress Group, and kidnap all the people from these two halls. Subdue them and then release them. These two halls have a lot of contact with the imperial nobles; keeping them in Nantian City as spies would be perfect. I will personally search through all their memories and implant them into Xu Ying's memory. From now on, Xu Ying will become my concubine, and we'll establish a horse training hall specifically for training female beasts!"

Xu Ying was overjoyed and thanked him. "Thank you, husband! Xu Ying is willing to serve, but simply implanting the skills into my mind is probably not enough. We need to leave two or three experts to provide practical guidance, and teach a few more people to ensure success!"

Shui Linfeng laughed, "Of course!" Liu

Lijing said, "Husband! If we want to expand in the future, we can't just sit around and do nothing. We need a continuous way to generate wealth!"

Shui Linfeng said, "Tell me about it!"

Liu Lijing said, "We have plenty of manpower. Why don't we acquire a few factories, open a few nightclubs, and then you shamelessly meet with Xiang Jingyu and ask him to bring your businesses under the Xiang family's umbrella and do some tax-free business!"

Shui Linfeng sighed, "Old Xiang himself is in dire straits. If we bring ourselves under his umbrella now, we might lose everything this year!"

Everyone asked curiously, "What happened?"

Shui Linfeng told them the news he had heard through Cheng Ji. Everyone was shocked. Bai Ledao Suhar gasped, "If it really is that person who has already become too..." "Lu Li, who has attained the Upper Dao Body, is coming with Ruan Peijun and Lu Xiaoxiao, who have cultivated the Taichong Dao Body. None of us can match them. Even Baihu Loukan couldn't withstand a single blow from Lu Li, one of the Four Saints. What's more, there are a large number of Imperial Guards and super soldiers secretly trained and tamed by His Majesty the Emperor?"

Shui Linfeng nodded and said, "Tao Hualang and Tao Hua Sao are just failed attempts. If it's a one-on-one fight, not many can withstand the two of them. If they join forces, few of you here can escape unscathed. That Chen guy has quite the big hand. I heard he brought 1,200 people. He might even wipe us out! So I ordered Gongsun Chang and the others to stop robbing everywhere and stay obediently scattered in the military camp and surrounding areas. The things we just discussed need to be done quickly, preferably within the next week. If that Lu Li guy comes with his men, we will be forced to immediately stop all our lawless activities! We'll wait until they and the nobles of Ze Dongnan are both exhausted before we strike hard!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Shui Linfeng continued, "Li Xiaoran, Sun Zihan, and Xu Ying, listen to my command!"

The three women replied in unison, "Yes, sir!"

Shui Linfeng said, "You will immediately take fifty highly skilled members of the Seductive Electricity Group to raid the Jingxing and Yinxing Halls. Make sure no one is missed. Depart immediately!"

The three women accepted the order and turned to leave.

Shui Linfeng then said, "Little Tyrant Dongfang Ping, go prepare the tools and select short-armed, thick-legged sappers to dig up the graves!"

Little Tyrant obeyed and immediately went off!

Shui Linfeng said, "Tianqizi Zhou Tianhao!"

Zhou Tianhao responded, and Shui Linfeng said, "Take men to blow up the two Southern Tang tombs!"

He also ordered Lian Chi Dai Yue Huang Ling'er to lead men with a false intelligence mission to subdue various important officials in Dongjiang Province, and ordered Chunqiu Dao Bai Yingfeng to subdue Tie Shou Sun Jian of the Southern Heaven Bureau of the Intelligence Bureau, and follow the clues to control the underworld and bandit figures. He ordered Huashan He Yiqing to subdue Xiao Chuanzhi, the director of the Dongjiang Province Criminal Interrogation Bureau, and Lei Dapeng, the director of the Southern Heaven City Criminal Interrogation Bureau. The Five Tigers Severing the Gate Blade Zhan Lianda will control the ignorant people near Zudang Mountain; the Xingyi Sect's Soaring Eagle Luo Bangguo will subdue the Meng family in Guanzhong; the Divine Whip Zhang Chongming will subdue the Ji family in Linhai; the Hateful Sea Flying Dragon Mei Jun will subdue the Liao family in Shangjiang City; and the Mysterious Pure True Man will subdue the Gan family. All will capture their leaders and important managers/powerful figures.

The Great and Small Flute Beasts will wait by the Golden Cauldron; once someone is captured, they will be immediately imprisoned in the Soul-Binding Thorn, making them eternally loyal, but those with innate Dao bodies will not need to do so. The Divine Spear Invincible Zhang Dingfang, with the Blade's Three Battalions, will be responsible for guarding the area around Zudang Mountain, preventing any idlers from getting in the way. Suhar will lead a team to collect talent in construction and business management, and to investigate the actual situation of state-owned enterprises that are about to collapse or are merely nominal. Before the storm passes, Zudang Mountain should not undergo major construction, but some inconspicuous bungalows can be built for habitation.

After Shui Linfeng made the arrangements, everyone accepted their orders and went about their own business. Shui Linfeng told the leaders not to use cell phones for confidential matters, but to communicate by telepathy as much as possible. Although this would consume some spiritual energy, it would not be discovered by outsiders.

The clouds in the sky grew thicker, and raindrops began to fall. Streaks of lightning flashed across the sky. White Tiger Lou Kan and White Crane Bai Meiyu were so frightened that they covered their heads and tried to run away. Shui Linfeng

laughed and said, "It's just ordinary thunder and lightning, not some heavenly tribulation. There's no need to panic." White Tiger Lou Kan smiled bitterly and said, "We demons and monsters are born afraid of thunder and fire. Even if we cultivate to the highest stage of demonic body, we are still afraid of heavenly thunder and earthly fire. My lord! If you don't leave, I'll be going first! Goodbye!"

Shui Linfeng grabbed him and said, "There's a very large natural stone cave not far away. Why don't we go there to hide? When we passed by that cave the day before yesterday, we didn't have time to go in. We just peeked at the entrance. At that time, I felt that there was a monster inside!"

White Tiger roared, "I, the Great King, am here! Who dares to act strangely in front of my lord?"

Shui Linfeng laughed and said, "Let's go!"

The crowd surrounded Shui Linfeng and ran into the cave in the pouring rain. The entrance looked very large, but once inside, they found that the cave was not very deep.

Shui Linfeng exclaimed, "Strange! It shouldn't just be such a small stone chamber!"

Tao Hualang sniffed and said, "Master! It seems like there's another world inside this cave?"

Lou Kan added, "I sensed it too. There should be quite a few things hiding inside!"

Shui Linfeng's Heavenly Wolf Eyes swept around and he laughed, "The exit on the left rear is deliberately blocked by something. Lou Kan! Go and dig it out!"

Lou Kan responded, and with a flash of white light, the boulder blocking the passage in the cave shattered into several pieces. Shui Linfeng laughed, "No need for such a big fuss." "Heart, collapse this cave and bury us alive inside!"

Lou Kan said, "No, my lord!"

He turned to the dark cave entrance and shouted, "Come out all of you! Do you expect me to personally go in and invite you turtles?" As soon as he finished

speaking, a deep voice came from inside the cave, "Fellow Daoist White Tiger! Don't push your luck! If you have the guts, try taking two of my moves!"

Lou Kan said, "Come out!"

From the depths of the cave, a small man in full armor emerged. He was no more than 1.3 or 1.4 meters tall, but his hands and feet were thick and strong. His arms, hidden under the armor, were three or four times thicker than those of an ordinary person.

Before the Great and Small Flute Beasts returned to the Golden Cauldron, they exclaimed in unison, "Husband! Could this be the legendary Dwarf Clan?"

Peach Blossom Wave asked in confusion, "What is the Dwarf Clan?"

Water Linfeng laughed, "They're not Dwarfs! There have never been any Dwarf Clan in our Great Swamp Central Land since ancient times. Most Dwarf Clans live deep in the mountains of the white world of Atlantis, west of the Himalayas. But this cave is inhabited by a nest of demons, all of whom have broken through to the Demon Body!"

Peach Blossom Wave calculated and said, "Breaked through to the Demon Body! Good heavens! None of us are a match for them!"

Water Linfeng laughed, "They probably saw through our abilities, which is why they dared to challenge the White Tiger!"

As he spoke, the White Tiger had already engaged the file-wielding man. The file-wielding man used two weapons similar to entrenching tools to protect his head and face, and only focused on attacking Lou Kan's lower body. Lou Kan, a tall and imposing figure, wielded two heavy octagonal bronze hammers, yet he couldn't reach the file clad in black armor. Enraged, he roared, taking several blows to his legs in the process. Fortunately, his spirit armor protected them, otherwise, his legs would have been lacerated and bleeding.

Outside, the rain poured down. Suddenly, Shui Linfeng laughed, "Please stop, and hear me out!"

The white tiger leaped out of its circle, panting heavily. The file, holding its two shovels to its chest, said, "You lowly human, your cultivation is inferior. What do you have to say?"

Shui Linfeng smiled innocently and said, "May I ask your name, sir?"

The file arrogantly replied, "I am Li Zi of the Scattered Immortal Cave. What brings you here?"

Shui Linfeng smiled and said, "It's an honor to meet you! We are merely seeking shelter from the rain in your cave. We will leave once the rain stops. If we have caused any disturbance, please forgive us, sir!" (

White Tiger Lou Kan) Seeing Shui Linfeng's reaction, Donglizi was about to erupt in anger, but Baihe gestured to stop him, whispering, "Don't make a sound, let's see how our lord negotiates!"

Donglizi said, "Your people damaged our gate, how should we compensate you?"

Shui Linfeng laughed, "Of course you should compensate us. How about this, after the rain stops, I'll have someone repair the gate for you, and then prepare a few jars of good wine to apologize!"

Donglizi said, "You're quite sensible, human! If you have any food, bring some too!"

Shui Linfeng laughed, "If you immortals need anything, I will certainly provide it. Immortals! Look outside..." "The rain is pouring down. Why don't you invite us to sit in the immortal abode?"

Dong Lizi glanced at the white tiger, then at the white crane, and said warily, "Those two are not allowed to go in! Your cultivation is low, I'm not afraid you'll cause trouble. If you have the guts, come in!"

Shui Linfeng laughed, "Alright!"

He turned and instructed the others, "I'll take Shuangtao in to pay my respects to the immortals, Lou Kan and Bai Meiyu! As soon as the rain stops, you two immediately bring people to help the immortals repair their gates! Big and Little Xiaoshou, you two, as soon as the rain stops, go and fetch a few jars of the finest peach wine as a tribute." "Immortal! All of you, let's go back together after the rain stops!"

He secretly instructed everyone through telepathy: "Lou Kan, Bai Meiyu, bring more experts and prepare to capture people! Big and Little Xiao Beasts, bring two jars of Mengchun wine that Bai Yu Yaoling has carefully prepared, and also get more meat, fruits and vegetables, and turn this den of scoundrels upside down!"

Everyone agreed in unison. Shui Linfeng and Shuang Tao crouched down and crawled into the dwarf's den. It was like a maze inside, but it didn't feel stuffy. At the end was a converted tomb. Only when they reached this place could Shui Linfeng and Shuang Tao straighten up.

Shui Linfeng laughed, "When we leave, please escort us to the cave entrance, Immortal Master!"

Dong Lizi smugly replied, "Of course! If I don't escort you out, you can wander around until you die, but you'll never get out!"

On the rattan chairs in the main hall of the stone tomb sat eleven burly men clad in armor. Shui Linfeng chuckled, "Esteemed Immortal Masters, why not transform this armor into everyday clothing? Wouldn't that be more convenient? If you're wearing full armor, you can't walk around on the street!"

One of the files shrieked, "That sounds nice! We want to too! We've long wanted to visit the human world, but this art of transformation isn't so easy to cultivate!"

Shui Linfeng laughed, "You can't just shut yourself in and try. There are methods to cultivation. Esteemed immortals, you must have cultivated for a thousand years, right?"

Shui Linfeng's Heavenly Wolf Eyes had already clearly seen the original forms, cultivation levels, and cultivation periods of these files. He deliberately misrepresented them to dispel their wariness.

Another file laughed loudly, "You think you can't see our cultivation levels in this dark cave!"

Shui Linfeng's Heavenly Wolf Eyes possessed many functions such as night vision and X-ray vision. He could see every scale of these twelve files clearly, but he only wanted to deceive these ignorant and arrogant spirits.

Another file chimed in, "Idiot! That human's cultivation is pitifully low, how could he possibly see our abilities!"

The first file retorted angrily, "You're the idiot! Does that mean those with low cultivation can't see the abilities of those with high cultivation?"

The other files echoed in unison, "Exactly!"

Shui Linfeng laughed, "My cultivation is indeed low, I hope you immortals will forgive my ignorance!"

Glancing at the stone table, which only contained frogs, grass carp, yellow essence, and green grass, he feigned ignorance and said, "You immortals have quite the refined taste, keeping pets for amusement in this pitch-black cave!"

Dong Li asked in confusion, "We keep pets?"

Shui Linfeng laughed, pointing to the items on the table. "Isn't this it!"

one of the files exclaimed. "That's our dinner!"
Chapter Eight: Scheming

Shui Linfeng laughed, "Fellow immortals, although cultivation emphasizes a pure heart and few desires, eating too much of this will lead to malnutrition!"

Donglizi sighed, "We can't get out, and this is all we managed to catch! We don't know how to cook it; it's enough to fill our bellies!"

Shui Linfeng smiled, "How about we discuss the art of clothing transformation first?"

Most demons cultivate naturally; human techniques are not well-grasped in their world. These twelve demons all have lifespans of over three thousand years. However, without the right approach, their cultivation is often half as effective.

Under the distrustful gazes of the files, Shui Linfeng secretly opened the Daoist scriptures in his chest with his consciousness. He didn't teach them the profound spells of the "Wordless Heavenly Book," but instead taught them the easy-to-learn and practice illusion techniques from the "Exquisite Record."

These twelve were already highly skilled, but lacked the proper methods. Shui Linfeng only taught them once or twice, and they were all able to transform their comical armor into various styles of clothing. They were overjoyed and became even more enthusiastic towards Shui Linfeng.

Shui Linfeng happily chatted with them. Once everyone outside the cave was ready, one of them, Chouzi, hearing there was good wine and food, couldn't resist and rushed to the cave entrance to wait.

After the rain stopped, Shuangxiao, as Shui Linfeng had instructed, called in twenty beautiful women with wine and food. Shui Linfeng used telepathy to instruct Shuangtao to first take the antidote for the "Mengchun Wine." These twelve country bumpkins, unaware of the dangers, were already drooling with antidote. With twenty stunning beauties urging them to drink, they all praised Shui Linfeng for being sensible, unaware of the dangers of the world. They knew that Mengchun Wine wasn't something that would make them instantly incapacitated; its effects would take time.

Half an hour later, Shui Linfeng suddenly laughed, "Well done!"

Dong Lizi asked in confusion, "What?"

Before he could finish speaking, the twelve country bumpkin demons all lay prostrate on the stone table. They were twelve giant pangolins, with noses like dogs. They found the cave entrance without much trouble, called Lou Kan and the others, made seven file-shaped demon pits, bound them with ox sinew ropes, and brought them into the cauldron. Demons are not like humans; although their magic is high, their will is not strong.

Shui Linfeng already knew their cultivation levels and could not afford to lose them. He personally took action and imprisoned them in the Soul-Binding Thorn that very night, subduing them for his own use.

At midnight, the twelve dwarfs, though unaware of what was happening, knelt on the ground and cried out in unison, "My lord!"

Shui Linfeng summoned the Little Tyrant Dongfang Ping and laughed, "Tomorrow, I won't need to guide you. You've brought these twelve patrolling beasts with you; they'll surely dig up every grave, big or small, in this area!"

These twelve pangolins, over three thousand years old, were called the Twelve Patrol Dragon Seekers. They were Dong Lizi, Dong Zhongzi, Dong Fenzi, Dong Xuanzi, Dong Kongzi, Dong Tongzi, Dong Shanzi, Dong Zhengzi, Dong Yunzi, Dong Xiaozi, Dong Biezi, and Dong Xiuzi. All of them had cultivated the Chongxu Demon Body, only divided into upper, middle, and lower ranks. They were born with the ability to move on the ground, digging mountains and drilling caves with incredible speed.

Originally, Shui Linfeng wanted to finish things here as soon as possible and return to Fengqi Pavilion to meet Ma Yingfei. However, he was unexpectedly busy and had to do as much as possible before the special envoy from the capital. Before he knew it, it was already mid-September.

Shui Linfeng, through Cheng Ji, monitored the situation in the capital region while busily arranging various matters in Nantian City. The imperial envoy for rectification of the capital region had just been dispatched, and things here were already largely settled.

On the emperor's desk in the capital city lay Zhang Guohua's "Report on the Current Economic Situation of Dongjiang Province," which actively called for the rectification of state-owned enterprises in Daze to ensure the empire's legitimate tax revenue; the wording was reasonable and justifiable.

Chen Guorong asked Ji Wenhua, who was sitting at his desk, "Grand Chancellor! You must have already read the memorial from Dongjiang Province. Zhang Guohua is a talented man! I remember when my nephew Wu recommended him, Grand Chancellor strongly opposed it!"

Ji Wenhua, sweating profusely, replied, "At the time, I only heard that he bought his official position!"

Chen Guorong said, "Even if he bought his position, such talent is always welcome in our court. Also, investigate who in the Secretariat is blocking the path for talented people, forcing such a talent to serve the government by buying his way into office!"

Wu Dengke smiled and said, "Zhang Guohua's method perfectly complements the actions of this imperial envoy. On the one hand, it severely cracks down on the unscrupulous nobles who seek personal gain without regard for the benefits to Daze. On the other hand, he is right; the source of revenue should be continuous. Let him pilot this in Dongjiang, giving state-owned enterprises some time and policy support to recuperate and generate stable and abundant tax revenue for Daze!"

Zhang Tang smiled and said, "Why not give Zhang Guohua some leeway in the reform of state-owned enterprises in Dongjiang? " "Imperial authority, but the final result can only be one: stable and abundant tax revenue! If it fails, then punish him, how about that?"

Wu Dengke said, "This is indeed a labor-saving, worry-free, and highly beneficial method. All the criminal investigators and judicial personnel on my side will definitely give him the best cooperation!"

Ji Wenhua became anxious and hurriedly said, "Isn't that inappropriate?"

Wu Dengke said, "Elder Ji! It's not that I'm criticizing you, but as long as Daze prospers, we can all benefit. If we continue to act with prejudices like 'your people' or 'my people,' then we'll all be left with nothing!"

Emperor Chen Guorong said, "Nephew Wu is right. At least in the case of Zhang Guohua, he has done very well! This matter ends here, Zhang Tang! As you said, regarding the reform of state-owned enterprises in Dongjiang, give Zhang Guohua the authority to make decisions on the spot! What I'm worried about is Master Lu's side. It involves the huge private interests of so many nobles in the southeast. If these people start fighting me to the death, it will be bad!"

Wu Dengke said, "Logically, they don't have that ability. This time, Master Lu is the chief envoy, and Ruan Peijun and Lu Xiaoxiao are the deputies. The remaining five people from the Thirteen Dragon Souls—Eight Desolate Wandering Dragon Wudang Pure Dust Master Li Bozhao, Evil Ancestor Sect Living Yama Xie Ke, Yunnan Fallen Demon God Sect Ground Rat Li Xiaofeng, Wing Chun Sect Dragon Tiger Vajra Lei Zhongji, and Buddha Face Iron Heart Shaolin Huixin—have all been sent out. In addition, there are Charming Leopard Shu Chang, Enchanting Leopard Zheng Shuang, One Swallow, Two Wolves, and Four Phoenixes, along with five thousand experts from the new and old Embroidered Uniform Guards and the East and West Depots. I've sent out all the experts I could, and there are also His Majesty the Emperor's twelve hundred super warriors." "What can't be resolved? Those bastards, Gongsun Chang and his gang, haven't shown up for ages. The spies we sent out all returned empty-handed; they must have robbed enough and gone into hiding. And on our territory in Nantian, we have the secret protection of Master Kumu of Qixia Temple in Nantian City, one of the Six Buddhas. If there are any more problems, it would be utterly outrageous!"

Emperor Chen Guorong said, "Stop! You must guarantee me the two hundred virgins with innate true bodies or higher that Fairy Shen wants! As far as I know, Shu Chang, Zheng Shuang, and Sifeng are all virgins. You've sent them all out; what about my affairs? If I lose..." "Believe in Fairy Shen, the consequences will be terrible!"

Wu Dengke said hatefully, "Shu Chang and Zheng Shuang, those two little bitches, have already lost their virginity. Si Feng is the direct disciple of the Emei Sect Leader, Qing Suo Jian Xiao Ling Su, who is currently the leader of the martial arts world. If you anger her, even the Emperor won't have a good time! Who doesn't know what that transvestite wants virgins for! Humph—!"

Chen Guorong said, "How dare you talk back! You've gone too far!"

Wu Dengke hurriedly laughed, "I just get angry thinking about Shu Chang and Zheng Shuang! It's not that I intentionally want to offend the Emperor, but virgins above the Innate True Body level..." "The virgins... I've already sent people to search, and the confirmed number is 240, roughly equal to the number of men and women! There are 20 extra couples, I wonder if we should put them back?"

Chen Guorong said, "That's reasonable! If there are too many, then so be it! Fairy Shen won't complain about having too many. I heard that Shu Chang and Zheng Shuang are the concubines you've chosen, but for some reason, you haven't been able to get them yet, but someone else beat you to it! How ridiculous!"

Wu Dengke said angrily, "Shu Chang's Qingcheng Sect doesn't discriminate against marriage, but Zheng Shuang's Emei Sect strictly forbids male-female intercourse." Although Lu Xiaoxiao now knows that her beloved disciple has lost her virginity, she is very protective of her and refuses to report to the Emei Sect Leader, Xiao Lingsu. However, I privately informed the Four Phoenixes of Emei, instructing them to report to their master, the Emei Sect Leader, Xiao Lingsu, that they heard that the two lowly maids, Shu Chang and Zheng Shuang, lost their

virginity to the same man. Knowing the Emei Sect Leader's temper, she will surely drag that brat out of the crowd and execute him. Zheng Shuang will also be punished according to Emei's rules—at best disfigured, at worst executed!" Hao Lianxin laughed, "Lord Wu's actions are petty! But this man can be called a world-renowned spy..." " The two beauties, Si Jue Mei and Shuang Bao, offered themselves to each other at the same time—that's quite a feat! Could it be that Lord Wu really has no idea who that person is?"

The Emperor also asked curiously, "Back then, Zan'er also wanted to take them as concubines. Given Wu's personality, now that he's discovered they've lost their virginity, he certainly won't let it go so easily."

Wu Dengke angrily said, "Enough! I'll talk! Lu Xiaoxiao knew her precious disciple had been defiled, and in a fit of rage, she used the Emei secret technique to search Zheng's soul. When I questioned her, she didn't speak, but used the 'Shadow Formation' technique to reveal that person. Who do you think it is!"

The Emperor said, "Who is it?" "Domestically, there are probably only one or two people who dare to

take advantage of the concubine that your nephew Wu has chosen!" Chen Zan said, "Don't look at me! I'd like to too! But those two female leopards are inseparable all the time, it's really not easy to take advantage of them!"

Zhang Tang laughed, "The Ji family are all civil officials, they have the desire but not the guts, so it must be either the Tang family or the Zhao family, don't tell me it's the Zhao family!"

Wu Dengke said, "That grinning, wicked man is none other than Zhao Chengyu, the third son of the Zhao family, that scoundrel. So Lu Xiaoxiao clearly told me that even if Xiao Lingsu questions her, she's not afraid, Zhao San is..." "A man of courage and responsibility, who has pacified the north this time, will very likely succeed Your Majesty as the new Emperor after your triumphant return. At that time, whether Zheng Shuang is taken as a concubine or a secondary concubine, it will be an honor for Emei. If Xiao Lingsu dares to act violently, she will be making an enemy of the entire Daze Empire…!"

Chen Guorong said angrily, "He can forget about it! As long as I live, I am the Emperor of the Empire. Zhao San wants to rebel and usurp the throne! Hmph—!" His anger subsided slightly, and he said to Wu Dengke in a low voice, "After the court assembly, you will come with me to the inner study!"

Wu Dengke responded.

Zhang Tang said, "Master Lu has a high chance of success. His Majesty the Emperor should issue a document to the administrative officials of the southeastern provinces, instructing them not only to actively cooperate with the imperial envoy's mission but also to properly handle the takeover of bankrupt and illegal enterprises, focusing on resettling the unemployed and preventing major unrest in the southeast. The illegal fees collected by the

imperial envoy, after replenishing the national treasury, should have a portion used to support state-owned enterprises, encouraging them to hire more people, and another portion to provide a minimum living allowance for those who genuinely cannot find work." The strategist Guo Jie added, "Be wary of desperate business owners. Seize their equipment and resources as intact as possible. For those stubborn owners who try to achieve a lose-lose situation, punish them on the spot." "Execution is the ultimate punishment, a warning to a hundred! Act swiftly, don't give them time to damage the factories and equipment. Once these illegal businesses are confiscated, the local governments can send special personnel to quickly rectify them, and they'll immediately generate profits! Turning illegal into legal—why not? Your Majesty, please immediately issue a decree instructing all levels of local government to swiftly form a takeover team, but this must be done secretly, without letting the owners of those illegal businesses notice anything!"

The Emperor laughed loudly, saying, "My beloved ministers, what you say is exactly what I intended. Zhang Tang, Hao Lian, and Guo Jie, you three strategists, go back and consider this further, and then submit the decree for my review. Nephew Wu! Follow me to the study, court adjourned!" As soon as

the Emperor stood up, everyone instinctively tried to hold their breath, but it was too late. Unexpectedly, this time, instead of the foul stench of corpses, a refreshing fragrance wafted on the wind, completely different from what had happened a few days prior!

Ji Wenhua muttered under his breath, "What's going on! The smell is off!"

Zhang Tang whispered in his ear, "They must have obtained the Golden Elixir. What a pity! The one who offered the elixir has lost all his power and returned to his original form. Although the Great Emperor obtained the Golden Elixir, he can only extend his lifespan by a cycle at most, which is twelve years. What a waste of a celestial treasure!"

Chen Zan said, "Shut up! You bunch of birdmen! What nonsense are you whispering about? Can't you speak loudly? You're all petty people!"

Zhang Tang laughed, "So that the Grand Marshal may know, I was just asking Elder Ji whether the two female beasts I bought for him the other day are suitable. The Great Emperor has already departed, this is a private matter, how can it be discussed so loudly!"

Ji Wenhua said, "Yes! Is there a problem?"

Chen Zan snorted and stood up.

As soon as Wu Dengke left, the invisible Cheng Ji wanted to follow, but Shui Linfeng had long sensed the presence of a peerless expert in the harem and quickly commanded through her consciousness, "Don't follow! Wait for him to come out at the door!"

Chen Guorong summoned Wu Dengke to his study, sat him down, took a sip of fragrant tea, and asked, "How are things going in the north?"

Wu Dengke replied, "The Tiger and Leopard Clan dare not send troops on their own; they must report to their Great Chief before they can mobilize their forces!"

Chen Guorong said, "If Zhao San returns in triumph, he will have opened up 1.8 million square kilometers of territory for the Empire. According to the usual view of the Imperial Nobles, there is no merit to be gained compared to territorial expansion." " He's even bigger, and he's a member of the Sun Royal Family, so he has the right to be the Great Emperor of the Empire. If he becomes the Great Emperor, all of my Chen family's advantages will be gone, and your Wu family won't fare any better!"

Wu Dengke said, "Then what does His Majesty the Great Emperor mean...?"

Chen Guorong said, "Didn't you ask me for a super soldier? The most powerful one, now nicknamed Fengling by Zhao Lao Er, is said to be already at the front lines. You can secretly send a message to Fengling to find an opportunity to kill Zhao Chengyu!"

Wu Dengke said, "Secretly sending a message is no problem! As for how to kill Zhao San, my subordinate Zhu Wu has already trained Fengling. The problem is, aren't we waiting for the Beastmen?"

Chen Guorong said, "No need to wait! Let's kill Zhao San first, then let ten thousand beastmen in. Under the pretext of exterminating the beasts, we'll completely wipe out the Zhao family's army. Once the Zhao family is gone, no one in the empire will dare to challenge my Chen family. My Chen family can abolish the so-called five-family co-seat system and rightfully pass the throne from father to son, brother to brother. Your Wu family will also be glorious for generations!"

Wu Dengke said, "Good! This subordinate will go and do it right away! By the end of October at the latest, I will definitely kill Zhao San! But! The Chen family's troops must also be prepared for battle! It would be bad if the beastmen really attacked!"

The Emperor said, "This! Nephew, you can rest assured, Chen..." "The commanders of the ten army corps are all direct descendants of the Chen family. With just a single order, they can launch a massive attack on our borders. Chen Shang's weapons factory has recently successfully developed a large number of self-propelled large-caliber artillery pieces and enemy fighters. However, they are severely short of funds. Once the situation in the southeast is resolved, these new weapons can be deployed to the northern battlefield immediately. The small beast tribes are no threat at all!"

Wu Dengke asked, "What about the old man from the Ma family?"

The Emperor laughed, "His beautiful daughter is naturally yours. You can do whatever you want with her! You can secretly hint to him, offering her enormous benefits..." When the allied forces entered Yuchong Pass, let Old Man Ma's cousin seize the opportunity to launch an attack and eliminate Old Man Ma in the chaos. I will have my nephews Chen Gan and Chen Wei, located in the far west, lead the 16th and 17th Army Corps, more than 200,000 elite troops, to launch a surprise attack from the east and west. This will allow us to eliminate his cousin, who is still establishing a foothold, and bring the entire Xihe region under central control. It will also cut off the Tiger and Leopard allied forces' retreat and close the gate to Yuchong Pass, preventing the beastmen from plotting anything!"

Wu Dengke said, "Your Majesty's military strategy is truly divine! I will proceed immediately. Old Man Ma's cousin, Ma Liankui, has long coveted the title of King of Hexi and has long wanted to replace Old Man Ma." "Poor old man Ma, he even entrusted his 30,000 elite troops to guard the Yuchongkou Fortress. He's really blind!"

The Emperor laughed, "In the imperial family, which one doesn't fight for power? This is good! The strongest can inherit the title, and the weak should die! Otherwise, it's a waste of food!"

Wu Dengke said, "Your Majesty is right! I'm off!"

Shui Linfeng gasped. The special envoy had already left the capital, and the large number of spies sent ahead should have arrived in Nantian City long ago. The major operations here should have stopped. Fortunately, most of the important matters were done, and Qin Yihong's acquittal order had been delivered to her family.

The 3,000 beautiful female animals that Yuwen Jing had helped leave behind were all taken in through the Meng, Ji, and Liao families. Not only that, but more than 500 beautiful animals were also selected from the pile of cripples collected by the three families. After their bodies were regenerated, they were all placed in the cauldron for the soldiers of the Blade Force to enjoy.

The villagers of Zutang Mountain, in all its surrounding areas, were under Zhan Lianda's evil magic control. Located in a remote area, they wouldn't attract attention unless something major happened. Moreover, the local township and village chiefs, both nominal and de facto leaders, had been imprisoned in the Soul-Binding Clan, becoming Shui Linfeng's slaves.

Shui Linfeng entrusted the affairs of Zutang Mountain to those legitimate township and village chiefs, and collected Daofeng, Meidian, and various demons into the Golden Cauldron. Lou Kan felt incredibly lucky; just as Shui Linfeng was ordering them all into the Golden Cauldron, he had just found two beautiful female tigers, implanted their main essence into them, creating artificial Hundred-Refined Demon Bodies, and went to cultivate with them.

Shui Linfeng thought and thought, but he was still worried about Xiang Jingyu. Since he had to pass through Tianlei Manor to return to Fengqi Pavilion, he hesitated before knocking on the door, requesting to see Xiang Jingyu.

The servant who opened the door recognized Shui Linfeng and, feeling awkward about being disrespectful, smiled and said, "Master! Please wait! I'll go and inform him. Please don't wander off. The manor isn't what it used to be; it's full of hidden weapons and traps, all coated with potent poison. If you accidentally get them on you, you'll be in trouble!"

Shui Linfeng waited patiently for a while. The servant ran back and smiled, "Master said he has very important matters to attend to. If Brother Shui has any difficulties, just tell me, and I'll relay the message. I'll help you as much as I can! There's no need to meet him!"

Shui Linfeng sighed, thanked the servant, and turned to leave.

Chapter Nine: A Change of Heart

In the main hall of Tianlei Manor, Xiang Jingyu watched Shui Linfeng's departing figure on the large LCD screen, lost in thought. Below, several key members of the Xiang family—Xiang Liang, Xiang Yan, Xiang Zhuang, Xiang Fu, and five other middle-aged men—were discussing matters.

Xiang Yan said, "My lord! I was right! This man has a huge appetite! The other day, he tried to bypass you and secretly asked me to buy a large number of female beasts, but I politely refused! Even if I'm incompetent, I will prioritize the interests of the Xiang family!"

Xiang Zhuang said, "Brother Liang! You did the right thing. If you had agreed once, he would have kept pestering you to do this and that for him. These lowly people are just insatiable!"

Xiang Fu said, "This old servant was furious to see a lowly person like him sitting on equal footing with my lord. I was so angry and saddened! Fortunately, my lord pulled back from the brink and cut off all contact with such a lowly person!"

Xiang Liang said, "Old Xiang Fu is right. My lord is courteous to scholars and made friends with him despite his royal status. He should feel humbled and flattered. Look at his arrogant attitude; he treats my lord like a..." "Someone of his status, yet he still demands this and that, what kind of behavior is that!"

Xiang Jingyu said, "I was wondering, Lin Feng isn't looking for me because he has something important to say, is he?"

The various Xiang families chimed in with sarcastic remarks, "That lowly commoner, what important business could he possibly have with you? He only comes to you for money, beautiful women, or some other difficult matter. He's always asking the lord for favors, how could he possibly help the lord solve any problems!"

Xiang Jingyu said, "Why not see him? If what he asks for isn't anything major, why not grant him one last request?"

Xiang Yan laughed, "One last time? Again and again, how many times is one? Since we've already sent him away, let's not invite trouble again! I think he won't cause any more trouble after this. Calling him back now would only give him something to think about!"

Xiang Zhuang said: "Indeed! This man did some things for our lord before, but our lord repaid him. At first, we were just using him. Now that we know he has the ability to stir up trouble, who knows what might happen if we let him rise to prominence? In the past, when we used commoners from other families, their abilities were at most enough to make them CEOs or something. But does our lord think we can treat this man the same way?"

Old Xiang Fu said, "Our lord must not show any mercy. Many things are like this. Even if someone has extraordinary abilities, if the circumstances are unfortunate, they can be buried and forgotten. In twenty or thirty years, when they are old and have families to support, they will not be able to achieve anything! This man is young and ambitious, with too much power. If we give him the opportunity to fully display his abilities, it will not be a good thing for our Xiang family. Our lord's current assets are worth hundreds of billions." "Our wealth is among the best in the world. What we need to do now and in the future is to secure our existing interests!"

The other members of the Xiang family also said, "Old Xiang Fu is right. My lord, don't think about this anymore. Let's discuss how to deal with all the companies we've acquired recently!"

Xiang Zhuang said, "Wait a minute!" He then pulled out Li Caiye, who was kneeling under the table giving him oral sex, and said, "This bitch always makes me touch her, but she's so disobedient when she's giving me oral sex. Old Xiang Fu, get me another one!"

One of the five middle-aged men also pulled out Hu Xing'er from under the table and said, "Mine is too! Why don't you get me another one too!"

Hu Xing'er, Li Caiye, and the other two were beauties that Xiang Jingyu originally intended to use for procreation. They had not been trained, so it was normal for them to be unfamiliar with oral sex or disobedient and not understand men's desires.

After learning that his sperm was incompatible with most women, Xiang Jingyu lost interest in these five untrained slaves. Furthermore, with the recent nationwide crackdown, he had also acquired many beautiful women from the Jiangnan region. Driven by a fickle nature, he treated Hu Xing'er and the other three as sex slaves, distributing them to others.

Upon hearing this, Xiang Jingyu didn't even glance at the two women, and said to Old Xiang Fu, "Since they're not serving well, have them taken away! Give them a hundred lashes, then dispose of them! Bring up some more beautiful ones!"

Myolie Wu and Li Caiye cried and begged for mercy. At Xiang Fu's beckoning, several strong servants came up, grabbed the two women by the hair, and dragged them away.

Old Xiang Fu said, "Recently, Tongnu Courtyard has acquired a batch of excellent women, all stunningly beautiful and seductive vixens. Old Ghost Dai has been keeping them to sell for a good price! It was that old bitch Wanxiangyu who took a bribe from me and spoke to me privately. I've been quite wealthy lately, so I'd like to buy them all. There are twenty females in total. Two of them are named Hu Xiaoyu and Li Xiaohua. Their vaginas have been trained to rotate freely and rub against penises. Their oral skills are also top-notch. But I don't know what the master thinks, so I haven't paid for them. Why don't you call them up to serve me? Then you can choose the best ones to keep!"

Xiang Jingyu laughed loudly, "If that's the case, why don't you call them up!"

In a short while, Old Xiang Fu had brought up all twenty fresh beauties. Each one was completely naked, with bodies like jade. They were indeed all stunningly beautiful, and their figures were extremely seductive. Strangely, each of them had a five-colored bead on their navel. As soon as the women entered, everyone was immediately filled with a strange fragrance, but it wasn't the typical fleshy scent of beautiful women.

Xiang Fu, holding the steel chains around the necks of Hu Xiaoyu and Li Xiaohua, ordered them to kneel down. They crawled like dogs to Xiang Jingyu, spreading their legs and squatting on the ground, revealing their pink vulvas, tilting their heads back and barking twice like dogs. Then they smiled at Xiang Jingyu and said, "My lord! These two beauties are truly exquisite!"

Xiang Jingyu only saw four mounds of snow-white, jade-like breasts, so he didn't bother to look at anything else. He immediately took the steel chains, brought the two women to him, and used his leather shoes to lift the pretty faces of the two beauties to examine them closely. He was extremely satisfied and, smiling, ordered them to play the flute. The moment he touched them, Xiang Jingyu felt as if his soul was floating in the sky, experiencing the ultimate pleasure.

Each of them picked one or two, and pressed them into their crotches, immediately letting out cries of pleasure. Xiang Liang said to Old Xiang Fu, "Since you have such beautiful beasts, why did you use those inferior ones to fool us before? It's really hateful!"

Old Xiang Fu laughed, "So you all know, this batch of beautiful beasts is quite expensive. This old servant was afraid of being scolded by the master, so I made an agreement with Old Ghost Dai to keep them for trial first, and we'll pay after we're satisfied!"

Xiang Jingyu asked, "How much?"

Old Xiang Fu said, "One million Daze coins each! How many does the master want to keep?"

Xiang Jingyu laughed, "This question is really difficult for me! Anyway, we have more money than we can spend recently, so let's keep them all! It's only twenty million! What's the big deal? Tell Old Dai that from now on, send all these sluts to my house!"

Hu Xiaoyu, who was giving Xiang Jingyu oral sex, suddenly had a bright blue light in her eyes, something that ordinary humans don't have. The light under the table was dim, but it was clear that the eyes of the women kneeling under the table giving oral sex were all glowing green.

Knowing the special envoy was approaching, Shui Linfeng's spies throughout the city dared not flaunt their presence any longer. They abandoned their military off-road jeeps and bought a Giant bicycle for transportation. This type of bicycle was of excellent performance, swift and agile even when climbing mountains. Shui Linfeng's past invincibility stemmed from the fact that no one knew of his existence. Many enemies had lost their advantage due to carelessness. If he attracted attention and was reported to the relevant authorities, Shui Linfeng would be dead within days.

Returning to Fengqi Pavilion as a security guard and going back to school were the best ways to temporarily avoid the limelight. Shui Linfeng refused to believe that the Long-Browed Master Lu Li would stay in Nantian City forever with a large number of experts. Only by avoiding government attention would things be much easier. Shui Linfeng was already skilled in martial arts, and his mountain bike moved like the wind. Ten minutes later, he arrived at Fengqi Pavilion along the winding mountain road.

Phoenix Perch Pavilion is located at the highest point of the Imperial Residence on Purple Dragon Mountain. As soon as Shui Linfeng arrived, he saw A Xiang sweeping the trash on the open space of the viewing platform by the main gate and couldn't help but smile, "Sister A Xiang! How have you been lately?"

A Xiang was taken aback when she saw Shui Linfeng, and said indifferently, "I'm alright! Miss is in the main hall and told you to go see her immediately when you return!"

Shui Linfeng was stunned and said, "A Xiang! What's wrong with you! Why are you suddenly so cold to me?"

A Xiang said, "Nothing! I've always been like this!"

Although Shui Linfeng felt strange, he didn't think much of it. He first parked his bicycle in the guardhouse and then walked into the main hall of Phoenix Perch Pavilion.

Ma Yingfei was only wearing a close-fitting tank top and a pair of super short cotton hot pants. Her bare legs were dangling on the sofa, swaying back and forth. She was nestled among the sofas in the main hall reading a book. When she saw Shui Linfeng walking in this direction, she rolled her eyes and pretended not to see him, intentionally waiting for him to take the initiative to speak.

Shui Linfeng knocked on the large tempered glass door, signaling to let him in. Ma Yingfei picked up the remote control from the coffee table, pressed a button, and unlocked the door. The glass door opened automatically.

Shui Linfeng laughed, "My dear wife! Did you miss me?"

Ma Yingfei said coldly, "What good would missing you do? Where have you been all this time? Why did it take you so long to come back?"

Shui Linfeng smiled and sat down next to her, putting his arm around her waist. "Xiang Jingyu gave me a villa. I've been so busy lately!"

Ma Yingfei said, "Old Xiang is so generous? Is this his last supper before breaking up with you?"

Shui Linfeng smiled bitterly, "He is breaking up with me! I don't know what I did wrong to him. That villa is just a piece of land in the mountains, neither north nor south, with a few shabby sheds built in it. Damn! At least I can grow vegetables and raise pigs!"

Ma Yingfei said, "He doesn't want you to stand up for him, you idiot! Don't you know that?" "Is this the principle of 'the good bow is put away when the birds are all gone, the hunting dog is cooked when the cunning rabbit is dead'? The Xiang family is now incredibly wealthy, one of the richest families in the world. They ranked third on the Forbes list released this September. Your relationship with him is one of exploitation and being exploited! You, a lowly commoner, dare to dream of being on equal footing with royalty? Don't even dream!"

Shui Linfeng laughed, "You really have time! So idle you read those kinds of magazines? What is our relationship then? Don't tell me it's also one of exploitation and being exploited, right?"

Ma Yingfei suddenly laughed, her icy face melting into a spring-like smile, "Exactly!"

Shui Linfeng said, "I'm so stupid! Why don't you give me a hint, let me guess! So I won't be hurt later!"

Ma Yingfei said... "I used your Nine-Turn Dragon Spear to make me happy. When our fate ends, we'll go our separate ways and not bother each other again!"

Shui Linfeng laughed, "You're my intended first wife! What's with all this talk of bothering each other?"

Ma Yingfei said, "Let me make this clear: if you survive, don't come looking for me again. I'm doing this for your own good. You're just a commoner; live a few more years! Do you know whose wife I am?"

Shui Linfeng laughed, "I don't understand what you're saying. Isn't it Wu Dengke from the Intelligence Bureau? From the first time I saw you, I swore I'd have you! No one in this world can stop me!"

Ma Yingfei chuckled, "It's not even dark yet! You fool, you're already having erotic dreams! I ask you, Daze..." "The empire has over three million regular elite troops, plus garrison and security forces in each province and city, totaling over five million. You, a mere commoner, bare-handed, expect me to—? That's challenging the imperial system of Daze! I ask you! What makes you think you can do that?"

Shui Linfeng wanted to tell her about her actual strength, wanted to say that the Buddhist Immortal Sect's conspiracy to rebel had been brewing for a long time, wanted to say that chaos was about to break out in Daze, wanted to say that her dream lover Zhao Chengyu was actually on the verge of death…

But Shui Linfeng came from the lowest rungs of a big city, fully understanding the wickedness of people's hearts, fully knowing how to seize opportunities, fully knowing the truth that one should never show off and reveal one's true strength unless absolutely necessary, and even more so, knowing that the key to success lies in secrecy.

Openly fighting someone is something only a fool would do, unless one's strength is several times greater than that person's, allowing for easy defeat. Otherwise, days of sword fights are not as effective as a sudden, fatal blow.

The events that are about to happen in the Great Ze Empire will be entirely beneficial to me, and I can take advantage of the situation to turn the tide. Right now, neither the government of the Great Ze Empire, nor the Buddhist Immortal Sect, nor Zhao Chengyu know of my existence.

Ma Yingfei, Xiang Jingyu, and others, unaware of their own true strength, hesitated before Shui Linfeng could finish his sentence, then chuckled, "Just you wait! In three to five years, I will definitely marry you openly and legitimately! By the way! What happened to A Xiang?"

Ma Yingfei smiled, "Alright! I'll wait! You must keep your word! A Xiang? Sigh! I'm afraid this will hurt your feelings!"

Shui Linfeng, now surrounded by wives and concubines and possessing thousands of females, didn't care about A Xiang, a mere maid, and urged, "Tell me! I won't be hurt!"

Ma Yingfei said, "Before you returned, there was an active-duty military officer named Li Zhengqiang, a handsome young man, who returned from the northern front. At Zhao Chengyu's request, he brought me a fur coat made of pure white fox fur. Since I hadn't returned yet, the man A Xiang had introduced, the two of them, got together and fell in love! That Li Zhengqiang isn't an ordinary commoner; his father is a wealthy man in the Suzhou area..." The township head's current position isn't high-ranking, but Suzhou is a land of plenty, and his family is quite wealthy. He's still unmarried! Ah Xiang, that girl, grew up with me since childhood. She's very clever. Now that she's in this situation, she's deliberately trying to get close to that Li Zhengqiang. Whenever she has a spare moment, she speaks well of him to me, hoping I can help him get promoted through Yue Zhengyang or someone else! Li Zhengqiang has also promised Ah Xiang that he'll marry her as his principal wife and will soon take her back to Suzhou. Now he drives over every night to pick her up to go out. I know you want Ah Xiang, but things have come to this. Li Zhengqiang's conditions are much better than yours. It's your bad luck! Hehe--!"

Shui Linfeng laughed loudly. Now, the governor of Dongjiang Province, Zhang Guohua, is in his hands. The "Report on the Current Economic Situation of Dongjiang" submitted to the Emperor was written by Shui Linfeng. According to Qin Yihong's plan, they were using a feint to secretly advance their own agenda. Ostensibly, it was about revitalizing so-called state-owned enterprises, but in reality, it was about exploiting the emperor's desire to get rich, controlling the factory managers of those state-owned enterprises, pushing them to the forefront, keeping two sets of accounts—one open and one secret—and quietly transferring the majority of the profits out of the state.

The time wasn't right, and Shui Linfeng didn't want to become a target, so he laughed, "I didn't expect Ah Xiang to be so materialistic. Forget it! I only want Miss. As for the maids, I'm not interested anymore. Whoever wants them can take them!"

Ma Yingfei looked at Shui Linfeng in confusion and laughed, "Don't be a sour grapes. You've spent a fortune on Ah Xiang, teaching her our family's martial arts and Taoist techniques, and even implanting an inner core in her body. How can you just give up like that?"

Shui Linfeng laughed, "What can I do?" Ma Yingfei

said, "My divine dragon will soon emerge from seclusion. Then, the two of us can cultivate together. Don't run around these next few days!"

Lin Feng said, "I know!"

Just then, they heard someone honking at the door. Shui Lin Feng said, "It's lunchtime now. Who would come here? Did you invite someone here for dinner?"

Ma Yingfei said, "No! It's A Xiang's fiancé, Li Zhengqiang!"

Shui Lin Feng said, "I'll go out and see!"

Ma Yingfei said, "I'll see! But don't hit him!"

Shui Lin Feng laughed, "No, I'm just curious and want to see what he looks like! I'll be right there!" With that, he dashed out and saw A Xiang being held in the arms of a tall, handsome man, the two of them kissing passionately. Shui Lin Feng coughed.

A Xiang was startled and broke free. Seeing Shui Linfeng, she hurriedly shielded the handsome man behind her, exclaiming, "Shui Linfeng! Don't do anything rash! I'll just return your inner core!"

Li Zhengqiang asked in surprise, "Xiang'er! You only have a True Body of the Innate Realm, how could you have an inner core?"

Inner cores are extremely rare for cultivators. Although so many people in Shui Linfeng's cauldron had their main essence implanted, making them Innate Dao Bodies, none of them had substantial inner cores. Only a very few, such as the Great and Little Xiao Beasts, Peach Blossom Waves, and Peach Blossom Sluts, had their inner cores implanted by Shui Linfeng, all extracted from the bodies of other experts.

Others, such as White Tiger Lou Kan and White Crane Bai Meiyu, had their inner cores formed after many years. Even after refining Dao Bodies to various stages, it's not guaranteed that an inner core will be formed. To form an inner core, besides a stroke of luck, one must at least be within a Profound Heaven Dao Body.

Upon hearing that Ah Xiang possessed an inner core, Li Zhengqiang's eyes lit up. He pushed Ah Xiang aside and asked, "Who is he? Why are you so afraid of him!"

Ah Xiang was extremely worried, fearing both that Shui Linfeng would attack her and that he would say something inappropriate. Her pretty face turned deathly pale with fright. Shui Linfeng, however, just chuckled and leaned against the doorpost with his arms crossed.

Li Zhengqiang said loudly, "It's rare to see you, friend!"

Shui Linfeng said, "It's rare to see you, rare to see you!"

Li Zhengqiang said, "I am Li Zhengqiang. If you have anything to say, just come at me!"

Shui Linfeng laughed and said, "What is it? I'm the security guard here. I heard someone honking at the gate, so I came out to check!"

Li Zhengqiang said, "I've been here many times, why haven't I seen you?"

Shui Linfeng said, "I had some family matters to attend to before, and today is my first day on the job! Just now, Miss said that you shouldn't be disrespectful at her gate, and told Ah Xiang not to ask for leave, just go out and have fun!"

Chapter Ten Hidden Red Double Forks Shui

Linfeng looked at the two beautiful ghosts kneeling on the ground, Lin Yanhong and Su Xiuer, and was deep in thought. These days, apart from the tender moments with Ma Yingfei, he had been practicing hard like crazy. But he didn't know why, no matter how hard he tried, he was only stuck at the Qian Yuan True Body stage and couldn't go any further.

Ma Yingfei had promised A Xiang that once Shui Linfeng returned, she and Li Zhengqiang could go back to Suzhou. A Xiang, eager to become the young mistress of the Li family, bid farewell to Ma Yingfei the afternoon after Shui Linfeng's return, without even glancing at Shui Linfeng, and followed Li Zhengqiang away without even taking a bag.

Such is the way of the world, and Shui Linfeng didn't mind. He summoned two maids from the Golden Cauldron to cook, and four elite members of the Blade Force to guard Phoenix Pavilion.

Ma Yingfei never treated Shui Linfeng as a servant, assuming these people were hired by him or were his subordinates. Although she didn't know much about Shui Linfeng's background, her intuition told her that he was no longer alone.

The two had been together for almost a year, and gradually they had become more open about many things. Shui Linfeng no longer needed to hide from her. He could openly cultivate together on the third floor of the pavilion, in the array's core, after A Xiang left.

Ma Yingfei told Shui Linfeng that the Qian Yuan True Body was a plateau stage, one that many cultivators couldn't break through in their entire lives. To successfully break through to the Qian Yuan True Body realm, one needed to expel Yin-filthy blood, just like expelling Yin-filthy qi when cultivating from a mortal body to an innate Dao body. Once the

Yin-filthy blood was expelled, one could smoothly advance six more stages. Within three hundred years, one could cultivate the Tongtian Dharma Body, achieving the ability to separate the nascent soul from the body. The Tongtian Dharma Body was another plateau stage, even more difficult to overcome than the Qian Yuan True Body's plateau stage.

Since it was so difficult to surpass the Qian Yuan True Body, Shui Linfeng guessed that even diligent cultivation would be futile. As the saying goes, good things don't come easily. Just then, Huang Ji reported that Lin Yanhong and Su Xiuer, the two alluring ghosts, had accumulated enough Yin energy; should they be released to check?

Shui Linfeng had already extracted the Golden Cauldron from his body and placed it, along with Ma Yingfei's "Heart-Cleansing Pot," on two sun-facing corner pedestals in the pavilion, one to the east and one to the west. Ma Yingfei had already gone downstairs to sleep. Shui Linfeng, having completed his Golden Core, didn't have as much sleep as her, and even if he went to sleep, he couldn't. Upon hearing the report, he released Lin Yanhong and Su Xiuer.

The two beautiful ghosts had their ghost clothes completely stripped away, leaving them kneeling naked on the ground. In recent days, they had come to know Shui Linfeng's power, and their souls had been infiltrated by the Soul-Binding Thorn. Now, they wholeheartedly considered Shui Linfeng their master and served him with all their might.

Shui Linfeng had never refined ghosts before. After summoning them, he didn't know what to do. He sat quietly, unconsciously flipping through the "Linglong Record," a Daoist canon. The canon clearly explained that refining souls was divided into two directions: "Yin" and "Yang." The souls used had to be stronger than ordinary souls.

Refining in the Yin direction followed the natural laws of ghosts, with a higher success rate, but the resulting form was ugly and ferocious. It could only remain outside the refiner's body, obeying commands, and could not be carried inside. However, if refined to the extreme, it would become a demon. Demonic ghosts naturally repelled Daoists, disobeying their commands. The refiner had to eliminate the ghost before it became a demon, otherwise, the first to suffer would be the Daoist who refined it.

Refining in the direction of Yang is risky, as it's against the natural attributes of ghosts. The soul refined might be completely destroyed, never to be reincarnated. However, the benefits are numerous. Not only can it be carried within the body as a shadow bodyguard, but the resulting form is also incredibly beautiful. At its peak, it can even refine into a wandering immortal or a spirit god, indistinguishable from cultivators who achieve physical immortality or godhood. It can serve as a permanent slave to the refiner, essentially a lower-level deity.

The Yang spirit carried within can also help the refiner open blocked blood vessels and widen and deepen existing ones, effectively "opening mountains and digging canals."

Seeing this, Shui Linfeng's eyes lit up. He suddenly understood that the reason he couldn't break through to the Qian Yuan True Body was because his blood vessels didn't store enough spiritual energy. His daily breathing exercises were aimed at expelling Yin and impurities and increasing the spiritual energy reserves in his blood vessels.

This kind of spiritual energy storage pool, hidden within the bloodline and almost naturally formed, is difficult to increase in capacity due to the limitations of the body itself. However, if a spiritual object is present within the body, it can create artificial mountains and rivers much faster than naturally formed ones. Once one breaks through the Qian Yuan True Body realm and expels the Yin-filthy blood from the body, one can completely control the Fish-to-Dragon Golden Cauldron, concentrating the extremely concentrated spiritual energy of heaven and earth for cultivation.

One day of cultivation in the Phoenix Perch Pavilion is equivalent to one year of cultivation elsewhere, and one year in the cauldron is equivalent to one day in the outside world. If one were to expel the Yin-filthy blood, place the Golden Cauldron in the Phoenix Perch Pavilion, and then go inside to cultivate…!

Thinking of this, Shui Linfeng almost jumped up. Although increasing the capacity of the spiritual energy "pool" stored in his body is extremely difficult, the Phoenix Perch Pavilion is overflowing with spiritual energy, and the consumed spiritual energy can be replenished in just a moment.

The most crucial aspect of refining a Yang Spirit is ensuring the spiritual energy remains unbroken. All the Yang Spirit's armor, weapons, and ornaments must be conjured using spiritual energy. Since he had nothing better to do, Shui Linfeng decided to take the risk. To refine a Yang Spirit, one must use their own dantian as a cauldron, allowing the Yang Spirit and their own mind to merge, becoming one, so that they are intertwined. Only then can success be achieved.

Shui Linfeng licked his lips, grinned, and said to Lin Yanhong and Su Xiuer, "I will use a novel method to refine you two. If you feel unwell later, you are not allowed to resist, otherwise your souls will be scattered. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Master! We will obey your orders!" the two alluring ghosts answered in unison.

"Alright!" Shui Linfeng said, his expression suddenly changing. His smile vanished, replaced by a solemn look. He used both hands simultaneously to tear Su Xiuer's soul to shreds with his "Soul-Grabbing Hand," and then swiftly shattered her "Ghost Essence" with his "Soul-Destroying Hand." Su Xiuer let out a heart-wrenching scream, but years spent in the cauldron had made her a complete slave to Shui Linfeng. Although her soul was in excruciating pain, she dared not rebel against her master.

Shui Linfeng's "Nine-Leaf Flower-Piercing Hand" flashed and almost simultaneously seized Su Xiuer's three souls and six spirits that were about to dissipate. He clapped his hands together, kneading the three souls and six spirits into a ball, opened his mouth, and swallowed them, letting the useless Yin energy within the souls dissipate. Lin Yanhong trembled with fear, but dared not escape. After Shui Linfeng swallowed Su Xiuer, he also grabbed her and swallowed her in the same way.

Fortunately, Lin Yanhong and Su Xiuer, after infiltrating the Li Hun Ci, had become complete slaves of Shui Linfeng. No matter how Shui Linfeng tortured them, they dared not resist in the slightest. If there were even the slightest mistake, the souls refined would be worthless.

To refine a Yang spirit that has merged with the body, the dantian must be used as the cauldron. Shui Linfeng used the unique "Nine Yuan Li Fire" of his sect to slowly refine the two beautiful ghosts, using the main essence generated by the Li Hun Ci as their core energy, removing all the Yin and turbid Qi from their souls, and slowly combining it with the Yang Qi from human souls to form two small beauties.

For the next nine days, Shui Linfeng was in complete seclusion, constantly using spiritual energy to replenish the two small, humanoid figures revolving around the golden core in his dantian. Ma Yingfei, also a cultivator, knew that Shui Linfeng was diligently working to break through the plains realm of the Qian Yuan True Body, and knew that he must not be disturbed before he withdrew his cultivation.

Nine days later, at dawn when the grand imperial envoy procession entered Nancheng City, Shui Linfeng opened his eyes at midnight, having completed the refining of two spirits. The two spirits he had refined, Lin Yanhong and Su Xiuer, were both high-level "spirits," their natural forms visible to ordinary people.

Within his dantian, the two stunningly beautiful spirits, now fully formed, possessed no trace of ghostly aura, appearing even more alluring and seductive than when they were ghosts, brimming with spiritual energy. While refining them, Shui Linfeng also gathered spiritual energy from the Phoenix Perch Pavilion to forge two sets of armor for them, seamlessly integrating them with their own forms. He had never tried refining armor with spiritual energy before, but since the two women were of gaseous nature, it wasn't appropriate to use demonic armor to refine their battle suits.

Like all spirit armor, this new type of spirit armor can transform into various shapes, sizes, styles, and colors according to Shui Linfeng's and their own will, appearing and disappearing at will. There's no need for the hassle of putting it on and taking it off; with a mere thought, the armor can be freely donned and removed. Even in extremely revealing styles, the exposed parts still provide the same protective function as the previously crafted spirit armor.

The spirit ornaments covering her body are also crafted from spirit energy, large and bright in shape. Even the spirit chain connecting the dog collar around her neck has been crafted, its length and style changing according to Shui Linfeng's will, shimmering with silver light. Similarly, four large silver clasp ornaments have been crafted on each of her upper arms, thighs, wrists, and ankles, all changing according to her will.

Both spirits possess weapons forged by Shui Linfeng using his spiritual energy, integrated into their bodies—double-pronged forks. These weapons differ from ordinary physical weapons; they are actually a unique form of energy attack. Shui Linfeng named these energy weapons "Hidden Red Forks." The Hidden Red Forks, integrated into their bodies, can appear and disappear at will, their size and length controllable, and can manifest as countless long and short double-pronged forks.

Moreover, they don't necessarily have to be held in their hands; they can be launched from any part of their bodies in any way. In combat, they can face their opponent head-on with a single or double fork, or secretly launch these energy attacks—either from their mouths, nipples, elbows, knees, vulvas, anuses, eyes, noses, ears, fingertips, or ankles—as concealed weapons, either launching them outwards or partially revealing them to kill or injure their enemies, making them impossible to defend against. Since the

Hidden Red Forks are energy weapons, they can regenerate from spiritual energy within a certain time after being launched. The more abundant the spiritual energy, the shorter the regeneration time. The battle suits worn by the two women were formed from spiritual energy, clinging tightly to their demonic bodies like a layer of paint applied without any gaps. They moved freely and comfortably with their bodies, only concealing their nakedness. Since they weren't real clothes, it didn't affect the concealed red forks that could be launched from various points beneath them.

The two alluring ghosts were visually stunning and incredibly dangerous. Neither of their spirit forms was solid; engaging in sexual intercourse with them would be like masturbation. However, as special gaseous entities, they were undeniably real.

Shui Linfeng, with his countless female slaves, wouldn't waste time having sex with gaseous beings, but resources couldn't be wasted. These two spirits had become extremely powerful killing weapons for Shui Linfeng. Given time, their attack methods and speed would rival, and perhaps even surpass, the power of the "Seven Deadly Corpses Formation."

Shui Linfeng, through internal vision, carefully examined the wondrous figures forming in his dantian, constantly modifying any unsatisfactory aspects. His continuously depleted spiritual energy was replenished by the Purple-Gold Spiritual Dragon Qi of the Phoenix Perch Pavilion, almost as much as it was consumed, it was replenished immediately. The two beautiful ghosts were entirely yang energy bodies, devoid of any yin or impure energy. Shui Linfeng immediately opened the "Linglong Record" Daoist canon, selecting the cultivation methods of the immortals from the "Wordless Heavenly Book," and implanted the three sets of twenty diagrams into their souls.

The "Wordless Heavenly Book" only contained one set of nine diagrams for the cultivation methods of beautiful corpses, representing a nine-tiered system with 362,880 variations. However, this gaseous form of supernatural energy had three sets of twenty-seven methods, a product of three nine-tiered systems, totaling 1,088,640 variations. Furthermore, the Daoist annotations in the "Linglong Record" specifically mentioned an extremely powerful "Two Elements Clear Dragon Elephant Formation," said to possess boundless power.

In ancient times, there were three golden-eyed zombies and six silver-eyed zombies who coexisted with the gods and the Supreme Deity. One of the golden-eyed zombies was destroyed in the "Two Elements Clear Dragon Elephant Formation" activated by the two gods. The "Linglong Record" contains more martial arts techniques about forks. It is said that most of the Asura beauties who fought against the gods used forks, only they were either three-pronged or two-pronged, and the training was the same. Anyway, there was plenty of time in Dingjin, so Shui Linfeng didn't care. He integrated the "Asura Fork" into the soul consciousness of the two spirits, so that they could practice it whenever they had free time.

At this point, the two beauties were considered to be ready. Shui Linfeng thought that he should have reaped the rewards. Ignoring his fatigue, he moved his mind and instructed the two beauties who had already communicated with him to slowly travel along his dantian acupoint from the yang and yang directions into the eight extraordinary meridians of his body, using their breath like the energy of heaven and earth.

In his mind, he said, "Now I will have you circulate in my body like the Qi of Heaven and Earth. You must cooperate with me, find the direction of my Qi, and do your best to increase the capacity of the Qi of Heaven and Earth in my body, opening up the small meridians that my internal energy cannot reach, understand?"

"Yes! Yan Nu (Xiu Nu) understands, and will definitely serve our master with all our might!" the two alluring spirits replied obediently.

The two alluring spirits easily found the direction of Shui Linfeng's spiritual Qi circulation and followed behind. In Shui Linfeng's blood vessels, like two high-powered man-made river digging machines, they continuously expanded and deepened the originally narrow natural rivers, connecting the small pools and ditches that were originally impassable.

Shui Linfeng felt his meridians throbbing and about to burst, but slowly, he felt extremely comfortable all over. Gradually, it seemed that an extremely obscure substance was slowly forced to his perineum by the two alluring spirits. A drop of extremely foul-smelling "yin filth blood" from deep within his body's acupoints was squeezed out from the urethral opening of Shui Linfeng's penis.

Shui Linfeng felt a sense of ease, as if his limbs and meridians had been released. This single drop of turbid blood was something many cultivators had struggled to expel, even after a lifetime of effort!

With the expulsion of this drop of turbid blood, Shui Linfeng's cultivation had taken a solid leap forward. Without the help of the two alluring spirits, even decades or centuries of arduous cultivation might not have been enough to break through this plateau. Everyone in the Thirteen Dragon Souls was stuck at the Qian Yuan True Body realm, unable to advance any further.

Shui Linfeng felt languid and weak all over, his eyelids drooping. He felt especially comfortable when the two alluring spirits moved around his testicles, and he even considered having them reside there from now on, taking turns massaging his testicles.

Although the expulsion of this drop of turbid blood left Shui Linfeng feeling incredibly tired, he longed to fall into a deep sleep. Knowing that sleep was absolutely out of the question at this moment, he spun rapidly in his dantian, mustered all his strength, and endured the excruciating pain of his meridians bursting. He commanded the two alluring spirits to continue, insisting on expelling all nine drops of yin-filthy blood from his body in one go.

Shui Linfeng was only focused on cultivation, unaware that three more days had passed outside. A storm was brewing in Nantian City, and the decrees proposed by the special envoy from the capital were unacceptable to the local nobility.

After expelling the nine drops of murky yin-filthy blood, Shui Linfeng immediately collapsed to the ground and fell into a deep sleep. When he opened his eyes, he saw the bright moon hanging in the sky outside the pavilion, autumn insects chirping, and a cool breeze blowing. He glanced at the clock; it was past eleven o'clock at night. He couldn't figure out how many days he hadn't eaten, but feeling refreshed, he didn't feel hungry.

With a thought, he ejaculated the two alluring spirits hidden within his testicles, as if he were semen, from the tip of his penis. Two wisps of grape-red spiritual energy spun around not far from the bed.

Shui Linfeng laughed, "You two are up to no good again, why don't you show yourselves! Want to be punished?"

The "Hundred Tribulations Whip," forged from zombie hair, was a real instrument of torture; no living being could withstand it. Shui Linfeng usually used the whip to lash beautiful beasts, mostly for fun.

Seeing the two alluring spirits being mischievous, they conjured a "Soul-Drawing Whip," also forged from spiritual energy. With a loud "crack," the two wisps of grape-red spiritual energy that were spinning in mid-air seemed startled, and simultaneously exploded with a "pop," revealing two naked, snow-white, voluptuous alluring spirits kneeling on the ground like lambs.

Shui Linfeng said, "You two have had a hard time these past few days. Go and rest in the cauldron!"

Su Xiuer, being bold, raised her head and pleaded, "Master! We've lived in Wanzhu Mountain for hundreds of years. After following you, we're still in the cauldron. We're quite bored. Can we go out for a walk?"

Shui Linfeng said, "Do you know the way back? Besides, if you play too much and get sunburned, or if some high-level Taoist priest or sorcerer recognizes you, it'll be troublesome. These past two days, Nantian City has been teeming with experts!"

Lin Yanhong said, "Master! Yanhong is also very bored! We're not ghosts anymore. Ordinary sorcerers and Taoist priests can't detect us. We know the way, and I even know that this Phoenix Perch Pavilion was the place where the Ming Dynasty..." This was Empress Ma Xiuying's usual residence. "

Master!" Su Xiuer said. "Don't you remember the two human skins you gave us?"

Shui Linfeng laughed. "That's right! As long as we wear human skin, we won't be afraid of the sun. We can wear elbow-length leather gloves on our bare hands, knee-high boots on our feet, and wigs on our heads. If we encounter a strong enemy, we can even discard the human skin and escape through the openings. It's a good method indeed! Alright! Then you two, put on your human skins and go out to play! But don't cause trouble! You must be back before ten o'clock tomorrow morning! Do you hear me?"

The two were overjoyed and responded in unison. They took out the human skins from the cauldron, put them on, and floated down from the top floor of Phoenix Perch Pavilion hand in hand to go out and play.

Shui Linfeng quietly went downstairs. His Heavenly Wolf Eyes searched and found that Ma Yingfei was already asleep. Having been cooped up in the pavilion for more than ten days, he also wanted to go out for a walk. He immediately put on his clothes, took a stack of money and bank cards, and went out as well.
