Volume Two, Surrounded by Enemies, Chapter Nine: In the

verdant mountains , a beautiful young woman walked slowly. Her simple white dress did not diminish her beauty; rather, it made her appear even more ethereal and refined. Suddenly, a strange sound attracted her attention. She listened intently, but ultimately couldn't figure out what it was. Curiosity got the better of her, so she followed the sound to a cave. As soon as she poked her head inside, her face flushed crimson. Before her was a scene that made her blood boil and filled with lewdness: a young man and woman were writhing on the ground, and beside them lay a beautiful, disheveled young woman.

The girl beneath the man seemed to be in great pain, but the man showed no pity, continuing to indulge his lust.

"You lecherous thief, take this!" In the eyes of the girl in white, this man was undoubtedly a lecherous thief. Suppressing her shame and fueled by even greater anger, she thrust her longsword at him. However, the man didn't react at all. Seeing that she was about to rid the world of a great scourge, the girl felt a surge of joy.

Suddenly, the girl felt a numbness on the back of her hand. Her longsword clattered to the ground, and she was unable to move.

"You, you... how could you...?" The girl was nearly driven to despair. She never imagined that those who had subdued her were the two women she thought had been humiliated by the lecherous thief.

"Sister Shuang, how are you?" Hanxiang's voice was sweet and delicate. Her lover was still entangled with her, but she was almost at her breaking point. However, she knew that if Xiao Tianci couldn't completely eliminate the influence of the Heavenly Desire True Qi this time, the consequences would be even more severe. She could only force herself to endure.

"Hanxiang, you should rest for a bit," Tang Feishuang said with a wry smile. She was still weak all over, but had no choice but to take Hanxiang's place. The girl in plain clothes beside her stared in disbelief as she was offered up to the "lecherous thief." She hadn't yet clearly seen the thief's face, only that he looked somewhat familiar. She also seemed to recognize the names of the two girls, but couldn't quite place them.

Hanxiang and Tang Feishuang couldn't worry about her anymore. However, because Hanxiang was worried that the girl might try to kill someone again, she simply pressed a few more pressure points on her and placed her next to her.

Xiao Tianci continued his frenzied thrusting, and Tang Feishuang quickly succumbed again. Hanxiang had to take her place, and after several rounds, both women were on the verge of exhaustion. Just as Tang Feishuang was about to grit her teeth and relieve Hanxiang, a sudden change occurred. Xiao Tianci pounced on the girl in plain clothes, tearing her garments in a few swift movements. Instantly, her pure white body was exposed to the air. The girl cried out in despair, watching helplessly as her chastity was about to be violated. Tang Feishuang and Hanxiang were also stunned by what they were seeing. They were now in a precarious state themselves and had no way to stop Xiao Tianci.

Unbeknownst to them, although Xiao Tianci was mostly delirious, he occasionally regained his senses. He realized that Hanxiang and Tang Feishuang could no longer withstand his onslaught, so he turned his attention to the girl. Although this was unfair to her, in his brief moments of lucidity, he couldn't think of any other way.

Tears streamed down the girl's face like two small streams. The pain in her lower body was compounded by the heartache in her heart. At this moment, she finally saw who this man was; she knew Xiao Tianci.

Fortunately, Xiao Tianci quickly regained his senses after taking advantage of the girl. However, having exhausted himself, he didn't have time to explain before collapsing onto her.

Hanxiang and Tang Feishuang exchanged bitter smiles. They never expected Xiao Tianci to cause such a disaster. Now, all they could do was try to reason with the girl.

"Sister, are you alright?" Hanxiang looked at the girl in plain clothes with an innocent expression.

"Princess Hanxiang, do you think I'm alright? Is your good lover only good at such shameless things? And you two are even helping him!" The girl tried to remain calm but found it impossible.

"So you already know who we are." Hanxiang sighed. "May I ask your name, sister?"

"Hmph." The girl coldly snorted, turning her head away from Hanxiang, though tears were already streaming down her face again.

"Actually, he was framed by the Demonic Sect, which is why he's like this," Tang Feishuang said softly from the side.

"The Demonic Sect? Isn't Princess Hanxiang a member of the Demonic Sect? Does that mean Princess Hanxiang framed her lover?" the girl mocked.

"Miss Yun, actually, Xiao Lang was indeed framed. You can see that from this person." Suddenly, a melodious female voice came from outside, and a withered corpse was thrown to the ground in front of the women.

"Senior Sister, you've come?" Hanxiang rushed over.

"Xiang'er, if I hadn't come, I don't know what would have become of this place. Honestly, how could you let yourself get involved with him like that?" Ye Bingying affectionately stroked Hanxiang's hair.

"Senior Sister, I just didn't want anything to happen to him, but now we've caused trouble anyway," Hanxiang said, feeling quite aggrieved.

"Let's go to the city first and find an inn to settle Xiao Lang down. Xing'er, carry Miss Yun on your back for a while," Ye Bingying sighed.

"Wait, who is this dead man?" the girl surnamed Yun asked.

"This is Bi Qingyun of the Demonic Sect. Xiao Lang is like this because he turned against him before he died," Tang Feishuang said.

"You mean, Xiao Tianci killed Bi Qingyun of the Demonic Sect?" the girl surnamed Yun asked, clearly surprised.

Tang Feishuang nodded and recounted what had happened.

"Xiao Lang is completely healed now, thanks in large part to Sister Yun," Han Xiang said after quietly examining Xiao Tianci's body.

"Little Sister Yun, I think you should come with us first. I believe Xiao Lang will give you an explanation once he wakes up," Ye Bingying said calmly, bending down to pick up Xiao Tianci and leading the way out of the cave.

************

Xiao Tianci finally woke up, only to find himself not on the cold ground but on a soft bed. He stirred slightly, feeling a soft body beside him.

"Sister Ying," Xiao Tianci opened his eyes and saw that the woman beside him was Ye Bingying. He gently embraced her and called out softly and affectionately.

"You little rascal, you're finally awake," Ye Bingying opened her beautiful eyes, stretching languidly, truly exuding charm.

"Sister Ying, you're seducing me again," Xiao Tianci murmured, suddenly pinning Ye Bingying down and kissing her red lips.

"You little pervert, let me go! You haven't finished what you did yesterday!" Ye Bingying gasped, pushing Xiao Tianci away and glaring at him.

Xiao Tianci froze, then remembered that he seemed to have possessed a girl, a beautiful girl he seemed to know but didn't.

Reluctantly, Xiao Tianci got out of bed. Seeing that Ye Bingying still didn't want to get up, he leaned down and fiercely kissed her red lips again before reluctantly getting up and leaving the inner room. Once outside, he found a room full of girls looking at him with strange eyes.

He was about to walk to Hanxiang's side when he noticed another young girl beside her. Her aura was familiar yet strange, her face vaguely familiar. He realized it was the girl he had defiled yesterday—Yun Xinwu, a disciple of Emei, the only woman on the Qingbang list. For a moment, he hesitated, unsure what to say or do.

"Xiao Lang, come here, Sister Yun has something to say to you." Hanxiang called to Xiao Tianci in a sweet voice. Xiao Tianci steeled his heart and walked over.

"Miss Yun, I am deeply sorry for the harm I have caused you. To show my sincerity, I will accept whatever conditions you have." Xiao Tianci thought that since what's done is done, running away wasn't a solution; he should try to resolve it.

Yun Xinwu glared at Xiao Tianci fiercely, her face flushing, but she didn't speak. Hanxiang, however, was extremely worried. Judging from Yun Xinwu's demeanor, she might kill Xiao Tianci. She had spent most of the day trying to persuade Yun Xinwu, but Yun Xinwu hadn't clearly told her what she wanted for forgiveness.

"Really, you'll agree to any conditions?" A sly glint suddenly appeared in Yun Xinwu's eyes, but Xiao Tianci, with his head down, didn't notice.

"Of course, of course, but don't involve Xiang'er and the others." Xiao Tianci prayed that Yun Xinwu wouldn't do anything he couldn't or didn't want to do.

"First of all, I'm not forgiving what you did, but considering you killed that fiend Bi Qingyun and you were ambushed by him, I'll let you off the hook for now," Yun Xinwu said calmly. "However, for me to completely forgive you, you must do one thing."

"What is it? Anything I can do, even ten things, I'll do," Xiao Tianci asked eagerly, overjoyed to hear that Yun Xinwu was willing to forgive him.

Actually, Xiao Tianci's feelings were strange. Although he felt uneasy, he didn't seem to regret it at all; instead, he was secretly pleased. He couldn't say he loved Yun Xinwu; it was just that the increasingly similar aura she possessed to Qiu Shuiyao was attracting him. Seeing her reminded him of Qiu Shuiyao, and thus, he harbored a shameful thought: he didn't want Yun Xinwu to be with anyone, especially other men, because it would make him feel like Qiu Shuiyao was with someone else, something he couldn't accept.

"I've heard that some bored people in the martial world have compiled a list of the most notorious lechers. The list includes the most notorious lechers in the martial arts world. My task for you is to eliminate the top ten on this list within three months. You must personally kill them all. If you succeed, I will forgive what you did to me," Yun Xinwu said calmly.

"Really? There's some kind of lecher list?" Xiao Tianci muttered, seemingly incredulous. However, since Yun Xinwu had said so, he had no choice but to nod helplessly.

"Xiao Lang, you really agreed?" Sikong Hanxing looked at Xiao Tianci with a strange expression.

“Xing’er, is there something wrong? Those lecherous thieves were never good people to begin with. Killing them is a good thing, isn’t it?” Xiao Tianci said listlessly.

“But, Xiao Lang, you can’t agree to that.” Sikong Hanxing was getting anxious. “Sister Yun, change your condition. Xiao Lang simply can’t do it. Isn’t that just not forgiving him?”

“Xing’er, it’s just killing a few people. Why can’t I do it?” Xiao Tianci asked curiously.

“You, you’re going to be the death of me!” Sikong Hanxing glared angrily at Xiao Tianci. Poor Xiao Tianci still didn’t understand what was going on. In fact, not only him, but Hanxiang, Yue Xiaomin, and the other women were also confused. Even Yun Xinwu seemed puzzled.

“Sister Xing’er, what exactly is going on?” Hanxiang asked.

"Sister Hanxiang, do you know who's number one on that list of lecherous thieves?" Sikong Hanxing asked, giving Xiao Tianci a sidelong glance.

"Who is it? It couldn't be..." Hanxiang thought of something, but felt it was unlikely.

"It's him! Asking him to kill those ten people is worse than him killing himself first," Sikong Hanxing said defiantly.

"This, Xing'er, are you mistaken? How could it be me?" Xiao Tianci was both amused and exasperated. He finally understood why Sikong Hanxing hadn't let him agree.

"Go find out for yourself if you don't believe me," Sikong Hanxing said fiercely.

"This..." Xiao Tianci didn't know what to say. It seemed Sikong Hanxing was telling the truth, but if it was, he probably wouldn't be able to fulfill his promise to Yun Xinwu. Was he really going to commit suicide?

“Sister Yun, how about you change the conditions? Or maybe he can just kill the other nine?” Hanxiang found it amusing but couldn’t laugh out loud. Seeing Xiao Tianci’s embarrassed expression, she knew he couldn’t very well ask Yun Xinwu to change the conditions, so she had to step in.

“Alright then, he can just eliminate those nine people, but he has to agree to one more condition.” Yun Xinwu was both amused and annoyed, and started making exorbitant demands. Xiao Tianci naturally wouldn’t refuse. At this point, he had no choice but to take it one step at a time. After all, he had done something he shouldn’t have.

“After you’ve done this, come to Emei to find me. I will tell you what the next condition is then.” Yun Xinwu almost burst out laughing at Xiao Tianci’s timid and submissive appearance, but remembering how rude and hateful he had been to her yesterday, she felt a sense of satisfaction at her revenge. "Xing'er, how did I become that so-called number one lecher in the martial arts world?" That night, Xiao Tianci relentlessly pestered Sikong Hanxing with the question, but each time Sikong Hanxing rolled her eyes at him and said nothing.

Frustrated, Xiao Tianci repeatedly assaulted Sikong Hanxing's body, seeking revenge. "Looking at you now, what else could you be but a lecher?" After another round of assaults, Sikong Hanxing pinched Xiao Tianci hard. "Xing'er, just tell me what happened." Xiao Tianci winced in pain, but this time he didn't retaliate. Knowing she could no longer please him, he still felt sorry for her and could only plead softly once more. "There's no reason, it's just that people say you even managed to pluck a flower like Qiu Shuiyao, and you even managed to take two of the most beautiful female martial arts masters into your arms, so naturally you're the undisputed number one lecher in the martial arts world," Sikong Hanxing said lazily. "Isn't this slander?" Xiao Tianci muttered, thinking that these people must be jealous of him and trying to ruin his reputation. "Killing all those lechers would be good, then no one would put me in the same category as them." But he didn't expect that killing one batch would only result in another. Could lechers ever be eradicated? This time, Yun Xinwu had given him a rather strange problem, one that would give him some trouble. Volume Two, Surrounded by Enemies, Chapter Ten: Xinwu and Floating Clouds. "Xiao Lang, Sister Yun just left." Early in the morning, Hanxiang rushed over to tell Xiao Tianci. "She left so soon?" Xiao Tianci muttered, feeling a little disappointed. "Xiao Lang, she just left, hurry and chase after her!" Hanxiang said to Xiao Tianci, a little annoyed. ************ Yun Xinwu walked slowly, her face calm, but her mind was filled with countless thoughts. She didn't know how to explain this to the sect leader. She had inexplicably lost her virginity to someone, and not just anyone, but to someone with such a bad reputation as Xiao Tianci. Yet, she couldn't bring herself to deal with him ruthlessly. In fact, she knew she couldn't possibly defeat him. She could see that although Hanxiang and Ye Bingying had pleaded with her and spoken well of Xiao Tianci, if she truly wanted to harm him, they would have killed her without hesitation.

"Miss Yun, please wait!" Yun Xinwu suddenly heard a voice behind her and couldn't help but sigh slightly. She had left in a hurry early in the morning because she was a little afraid to say goodbye to Xiao Tianci in person. However, after she left, she realized that she also hoped that Xiao Tianci would say something to her, so she subconsciously slowed her pace.

"Young Master Xiao, is there anything I can help you with?" Yun Xinwu turned around slightly and asked in a low voice. Xiao Tianci had already appeared in front of her in an instant. His superb lightness skill made Yun Xinwu admire him.

"Miss Yun, why are you in such a hurry to leave?" Xiao Tianci didn't know what to say for a moment, so he asked a very blunt question.

"My sect has sent word that I need to go to White Horse Manor as soon as possible," Yun Xinwu said calmly.

"Why didn't you tell me you were leaving? I could have taken you there." Xiao Tianci sighed slightly. Ye Bingying and Hanxiang had come on Zhu Ruolan's white crane; he could indeed have taken Yun Xinwu to White Horse Manor very quickly.

"White Horse Manor isn't far from here; we'll be there soon. You don't need to bother." Yun Xinwu avoided Xiao Tianci's gaze, lowering her head slightly.

"Xinwu, may I call you that?" Xiao Tianci silently observed her for a long time before suddenly asking in a low voice.

"Young Master Xiao, I think you should first think about how to fulfill your promise to me." Yun Xinwu hesitated for a moment, but didn't answer Xiao Tianci directly. However, it seemed she wasn't quite willing for Xiao Tianci to address her that way.

"Xinwu, if I accomplish this, will you come back?" Xiao Tianci suddenly found himself a little nervous, asking this question with a hint of trepidation.

“Let’s talk after you’ve finished. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave. Please wait, Young Master Xiao.” Yun Xinwu realized she was almost unable to resist Xiao Tianci’s advances and felt like leaving. She worried that Xiao Tianci’s questions would become increasingly difficult to answer.

“I’ll come back to you soon.” Xiao Tianci’s tone was firm and confident.

Yun Xinwu’s heart skipped a beat, but she didn’t say anything more and turned to leave quickly.

“Xinwu, I will bring you back to my side soon.” Xiao Tianci looked at Yun Xinwu’s graceful figure and thought to himself. In his heart, he had already considered Yun Xinwu his woman.

***************

Xiao Tianci and the women continued their journey back to the Xiaoyao Sect. Now, however, they were almost untouched. This was likely because they knew that Ye Bingying, Hanxiang, and Tang Feishuang, three top-tier martial arts masters from the Black List, were with Xiao Tianci. Furthermore, no one doubted Xiao Tianci's martial arts skills anymore; most people were ultimately afraid of death, and Xiao Tianci found the situation much quieter.

The martial arts world began to turmoil again. News of the near-total annihilation of two Shaolin Temple masters and the Eighteen Arhats at Xiao Tianci's hands quickly spread throughout the martial arts world. The imperial court's warrant for Xiao Tianci's arrest became widely known. Gradually, Xiao Tianci found things increasingly inconvenient, beginning to feel the power of the imperial court. He discovered that even finding lodging and food was difficult. It wasn't that people wanted to arrest him, but rather that they were afraid to do business with him simply by looking at him and asking his name. It turned out that the government had issued a decree: anyone who had any connection with Xiao Tianci would be imprisoned at best, and their entire family executed at worst.

However, these challenges were not enough to faze Xiao Tianci and his companions, because with the little devil Hanxiang around, there was nothing she wouldn't dare to do. She now treated the restaurant like her own home, refusing to pay for food and lodging. While others feared the authorities, Hanxiang was equally untouchable, as she might kill your entire family if you dared not serve her. Despite this, Xiao Tianci and his group still felt very uncomfortable and began to hate Zhu Zheng. Hanxiang had mentioned several times that she wanted to kill that pig-headed Zhu Zheng, but Xiao Tianci had always refused.

Finally back at Xiaoyao Sect, Xiao Tianci let out a soft sigh of relief. As soon as he entered, Nalan Ruoshui rushed towards him, and Xiao Tianci easily picked her up. Entering the hall, he found it filled with beautiful women; the women, already aware of his imminent return, were all waiting for him in the hall.

"Hehe, you big bad boy, you lecher!" Nalan Ruoshui suddenly jumped out of Xiao Tianci's arms, giggling as she ran to Dongfang Qin, whispering something under her breath. Xiao Tianci was embarrassed; he had forgotten that this little vixen, Nalan Ruoshui, could read his mind.

Xiao Tianci glanced at the women and noticed they all seemed to be staring at him. He hesitated, unsure who to approach.

"Tianci, come to your sister." Hua Wuying's gentle voice rang out, sounding like heavenly music to Xiao Tianci.

"Sister Wuying, how have you been these past few days?" Xiao Tianci sat down beside Hua Wuying and gently embraced her.

"As long as you're back, I'm so glad you're here. I was so worried about you," Hua Wuying said softly, leaning against Xiao Tianci.

"Xiaoyu, Sister Xuan, Wuxia, Sister Yumei, are you all alright?" Xiao Tianci looked up and glanced at the women.

"That's not fair, Young Master, why don't you ask me if I'm alright?" Before the women could speak, Shaoyao pouted and said.

"Sister Shaoyao, you're always the one making others feel unwell, how could you be unwell? Young Master, don't you think so?" Yulan chimed in from the side.

"You two haven't changed at all, still so mischievous." Xiao Tianci smiled wryly.

"Xiao Lang, go check on Yuya first, then get some rest. We can talk about everything tomorrow." Nangong Xiaoyu finally spoke, her eyes full of concern and affection.

Xiao Tianci nodded, then suddenly whispered in Hua Wuying's ear, "Sister Wuying, I'll come find you later." He then casually stood up and walked towards Xiao Yuya's room.

Xiao Yuya had always preferred peace and quiet, and after becoming a mother, she preferred it even more, spending her days in her room playing with her precious daughter.

"Baby, be good, call me 'Mommy,' don't call that person at the door 'Daddy,' okay?" Xiao Tianci heard this as soon as he reached the door, making him both amused and exasperated. He hadn't expected Xiao Yuya's mouth to become so sharp.

"Sister Yuya, does the baby have a name yet?" Xiao Yuya sat on the bed, and Xiao Tianci went over and sat beside her, lovingly looking at his precious daughter's rosy cheeks.

"Don't you know whether you've chosen a name or not?" Xiao Yuya suddenly glared fiercely at Xiao Tianci, her tone seemingly aggrieved.

"Sister Yuya, I'm so sorry." Xiao Tianci sighed softly, his heart filled with self-reproach as he recalled how he had barely been by Xiao Yuya's side since she gave birth to their daughter.

"Tianci, I don't blame you," Xiao Yuya sighed softly. "As long as you still remember us, mother and daughter, that's enough."

"Sister Yuya, I promise I'll visit you more often, okay?" Xiao Tianci said, gently putting his arm around Xiao Yuya's slender waist.

"You should think of a name for our daughter first," Xiao Yuya said softly. "You have your own things to do, don't worry about me. I need to go see my sister-in-law." She paused, seemingly hesitant to speak further.

"Sister Yuya, don't worry, as long as Xiao Tianling is still alive, I will definitely rescue him," Xiao Tianci said gently, understanding that Xiao Yuya couldn't truly let go of her brother.

"Let's name our daughter Ya Jie. Our daughter will surely grow up to be as noble, elegant, and pure as you, Sister Yu Ya. What do you say, Sister Yu Ya?" Xiao Tianci said after thinking for a moment.

"Of course, the name you chose is wonderful," Xiao Yu Ya said softly, then began to playfully tease her precious daughter.

*************

After leaving Xiao Yuya's room, Xiao Tianci went straight to Hua Wuying's. Hua Wuying blushed slightly upon seeing him enter. Although he didn't know how many times he had seen Hua Wuying, or how many times they had been intimate, Xiao Tianci always felt she seemed even more beautiful each time he saw her.

"Sister Wuying," Xiao Tianci slowly walked to her side and reached out to pull her soft, delicate body into his arms.

"Tianci, I've missed you so much," Hua Wuying said softly. This caused a huge stir. Xiao Tianci could no longer control his desire and kissed Hua Wuying's cherry lips fiercely. His hands began to explore every nook and cranny of her body. Soon, both of them were overcome with passion, their clothes superfluous. They needed the most direct and fervent contact to express their longing and love for each other.

"Sister Wuying, has anyone come to see you these past few days?" After their lovemaking, Hua Wuying pressed herself tightly against Xiao Tianci. Gently stroking Hua Wuying's smooth, satin-like skin, Xiao Tianci asked softly.

"Some bored people have come looking for me, but Xiaoyu and the others have dealt with them all," Hua Wuying said wistfully. "Tianci, it seems I won't be able to travel the world with you anymore."

"Sister Wuying, I know you really want to go out and explore. I will fulfill your wish. No matter who dares to cause you trouble, I won't let them get away with it," Xiao Tianci said affectionately. "Sister Wuying, I will definitely make you live a happy life. I will take you to all the places you want to go."

"Tianci, I'm so sorry. I made you fight for me and get so badly injured. I think it's better if I don't go out. That way, no one will know about our relationship. It's all my fault," Hua Wuying murmured, her voice full of self-reproach.

"Having you, Sister Wuying, is a blessing I've accumulated over many lifetimes. Even the worst injury is worth it for you," Xiao Tianci said softly. "Sister Wuying, don't overthink it. I'm not afraid of others knowing you're my wife; I'm only afraid they won't know. To prevent any troublemakers, I'll officially announce to the world in a few days that you are my wife, Xiao Tianci's wife."

"Tianci, being with you is enough for me. I really don't want anything else," Hua Wuying murmured.

"Sister Wuying, I've made up my mind. I'll have Xiaoyu choose a good day, and then I'll officially marry you and Xiaoyu and the others. I don't care what others think; I already owe you so much. Now I can only do my best for you. At least I should give you a proper status. I can't let others have any leverage over you," Xiao Tianci said.

"Tianci, you're really an adult now," Hua Wuying said quietly.

"Sister Wuying, have you always thought of me as a child?" Xiao Tianci felt a bit amused and exasperated.

"You've always been almost like a child," Hua Wuying said softly.

"My dear sister, I'll show you now that I'm a real adult," Xiao Tianci whispered in Hua Wuying's ear, flipping her over and pinning her beneath him. Her soft moans instantly filled the room, creating a scene of passionate intimacy.

**********

The Xiaoyao Sect sent out wedding invitations widely. The sect leader, Xiao Tianci, had set aside three days for another wedding, April 18th. However, this time there were many brides, their names densely packed on the invitations. Hua Wuying, Qiu Shuiyao of Tianxin Pavilion, Qin Mengru (Sword Queen), Ye Bingying, Dongfang Xuanji, Nangong Xiaoyu, Hanxiang, Tang Feishuang, Sikong Hanxing, the Yu Furong sisters, Anling Anjing, and others were all on the list. Not only did Hua Yumei, the Palace Master of Baihua Palace, and Yue Wuxia, the Palace Master of Mingyue Palace, marry Xiao Tianci themselves, they also included their subordinates as dowry. The names Zhu Ruolan and Nalan Ruoshui, however, sparked much discussion, as rumors circulated that one was the princess Xiao Tianci had abducted, and the other was the current emperor's chosen empress.

Xiao Tianci went all out this time; aside from Yun Xinwu and Yan Wuxin, all the women he had intimate relationships with were added to the bride list, regardless of their consent. For example, Shuiyun of Crystal Palace was also included.

In truth, Xiao Tianci knew that practically no one would actually attend the wedding. His main purpose was to formally give the women a title, even though they might not actually care. He didn't want them to be humiliated under this pretext, and he also wanted to clearly communicate his relationship with them.

While Xiao Tianci was enjoying his time with women, he didn't need to personally arrange the wedding. He hadn't seen Gu Feng and Lan Tianfeng for a long time, but he didn't pay much attention. However, he had heard from Nangong Xiaoyu that Lan Tianfeng and the farm girl were always together, and this womanizer seemed to be planning to settle down. Gu Feng, on the other hand, remained the same, doing nothing but drinking. He now knew that Gu Feng and Lan Tianfeng had helped him almost entirely because Dongfang Xuanji had saved Gu Feng's life. Having been used to freedom in the martial world, suddenly having a constraint was difficult for them, so he basically stopped interfering in their affairs.

Meanwhile, Xiao Tianci was enjoying himself. He had temporarily put aside Yun Xinwu's request to kill the nine lecherous martial arts villains, as marrying the women was his top priority. Besides, he believed killing those men wouldn't be difficult, so he wasn't in a hurry. After all, Yun Xinwu had given him three months, and less than half a month had passed. Meanwhile

, Baima Manor was quite lively. In the main hall of Baima Manor, Bai Yulou, seemingly recovered, appeared, though his face was pale and he seemed somewhat dejected. Falling from such a height was a blow most people couldn't withstand. The once spirited Bai Yulou, who thought his career was on the rise, had suffered a devastating blow and become quite depressed. Abbot Huiming of Shaolin Temple appeared here for the first time, followed by dozens of Shaolin disciples, their faces slightly annoyed. "Fairy Yan, can you seek justice for our Shaolin Temple?" Huiming asked. "Master, could you explain more clearly?" Yan Wuxin feigned ignorance, pretending not to understand Huiming's meaning. "Fairy Yan, you witnessed it yourself. My two fellow disciples died at the hands of Xiao Tianci, and the Eighteen Arhats were either crippled or injured. I would like to ask you to rally everyone to seek justice for us from Xiao Tianci." Huiming, with his good manners, maintained a calm tone, a quality far superior to Huijue. "What does Alliance Leader Situ think?" Yan Wuxin turned to Situ Yu, shifting the blame onto someone else. "Master, our main enemy now should be the Demonic Sect. I think our grudge against Young Master Xiao can be resolved after we eliminate the Demonic Sect. Fairy Qiu, don't you agree?" Situ Yu said calmly, then turned the tables on Qiu Shuiyao. "I'm sorry, Shuiyao, it's not appropriate for you to comment on his affairs, but I respect the Alliance Leader's decision," Qiu Shuiyao said calmly. "Alliance Leader, Xiao Tianci has repeatedly harmed fellow martial artists. Are we just going to stand by and watch him act recklessly? Moreover, there are members of the Demonic Sect around Xiao Tianci. Who knows if he's an accomplice of the Demonic Sect?" Huiming hadn't expected Situ Yu to give him such an answer. "Master, let me say something. As far as I know, Young Master Xiao has always been at odds with the Demonic Sect. Although Xiao Tianci's two wives, Ye Bingying and Princess Hanxiang, were once members of the Demonic Sect, they haven't interfered in its affairs for a long time," Qingcheng Sect Leader Sun Yuxi interjected. "Sect Leader Sun received a favor from them, so of course he should speak up for them," Huiming said calmly. "I heard that your daughter is currently a guest at the Xiaoyao Sect. Am I mistaken?" "Master, it's rather unbecoming of you to say that. It's true that Young Master Xiao has been kind to Qingcheng, and it's perfectly reasonable for me to speak well of him if you ask. However, I've said nothing false; you can verify that yourself," Sun Yuxi said calmly.

"Actually, Sect Leader Sun is right. Young Master Xiao has indeed always been at odds with the Demonic Sect. If Young Master Xiao hadn't chased Yun Qi to the brink of despair and severely injured him, I probably wouldn't have been able to kill him. And if Yun Qi were alive, who knows how many innocent women would have suffered. Just for this one incident, Young Master Xiao has rid the martial world of a great scourge." These were the words of Ye Qiuhan, the Kunlun Sect Leader. Since successfully avenging himself, Ye Qiuhan seemed much more approachable than before, but he still wasn't very interested in the conflicts of the martial world. However, as the Kunlun Sect Leader, he still had to join the White Alliance for the sake of his sect's interests.

"Xiao Tianci is probably even more so than Yun Qi," Situ Yingwu suddenly spoke. "The number of women around Xiao Tianci is probably countless, and it's hard to say what methods he used to get them."

"He must have cultivated for ten lifetimes to have such good fortune, Brother Situ, don't be jealous," a clear voice came from outside the door. "

Suifeng, actually I'm quite jealous of him too. What man wouldn't be jealous? It's normal, so don't blame Brother Situ," another voice said, tinged with a hint of teasing.

Two young men walked in side by side, both equally handsome and imposing. The one on the left, in a sky-blue robe, with an unsheathed ancient sword, was Nangong Suifeng; the one on the right, dressed in green, with a seemingly ordinary steel sword on his back, was Dongfang Yan.

"It's no use being jealous. He's not as good-looking as you, but he's lucky," Nangong Suifeng said casually, though it was unclear whether he was referring to Dongfang Yan, Situ Yingwu, or himself.

"Eh, Fairy Qiu, didn't you go to your wedding? Why are you still here?" Dongfang Yan suddenly looked at Qiu Shuiyao with surprise.

"Young Master Dongfang, you're joking. Shuiyao has been here the whole time. How could she have gone to her wedding?" Yan Wuxin answered for her, seeing that Qiu Shuiyao seemed a little dazed.

"Hey, Suifeng, what do you do when the bride isn't at the wedding?" Dongfang Yan tilted her head and asked.

"It's not my wedding, why are you asking me? Go ask your brother-in-law," Nangong Suifeng said irritably.

"Why don't you ask your brother-in-law instead?" Dongfang Yan said, seemingly unconvinced.

"Brother Nangong, Brother Dongfang, you're not here just for idle chatter, are you?" Situ Yingwu finally lost his patience. These two were making everyone dizzy with their aimless rambling.

"Oh, Alliance Leader Situ, is it not allowed to chat here? Excuse me, please continue, please continue," Dongfang Yan said, seemingly suddenly realizing something.

"May I ask what brings you two gentlemen here?" Situ Yu asked, her beautiful eyes darting towards Nangong Suifeng and Dongfang Yan.

"Oh, it's like this, I was originally traveling and sightseeing when I suddenly heard that my sister was getting married, so I planned to go and see her. Now I realize I'm running out of time, so I thought I'd drop by to pay my respects," Dongfang Yan said casually

. Nangong Suifeng nodded vigorously beside him, indicating that he felt the same way. "We are discussing some matters. If you two gentlemen are interested in listening, please take a seat," Situ Yu said politely.

The two men didn't hesitate for a moment before finding a place to sit down, then shut their mouths and said nothing more. Qiu Shuiyao secretly found it amusing; these two seemed like a pair of clowns.

"Alliance Leader, I'll say it again: I hope to get justice for Shaolin from Xiao Tianci," Huiming brought up the topic again.

"Good, good, I agree!" Dongfang Yan, who had just calmed down, suddenly exclaimed, looking extremely excited, which surprised everyone present. Was this the new head of the Dongfang family?

"Young Master Dongfang, what do you mean?" Situ Yu was also greatly puzzled. How could Dongfang Yan be like this, and even agree to deal with Xiao Tianci? She almost doubted whether this Dongfang Yan was a real person.

"That Xiao Tianci is clearly younger than me, yet he insists on marrying my sister, making me call him brother-in-law. It makes me so angry! Oh, right, he's getting married to my sister in a couple of days. You guys can go and join in the fun, but it seems like you won't make it in time." Dongfang Yan seemed to ponder for a moment before adding, "But it's okay, you can go find him later. Just don't come looking for me to fight, my sister is very fierce, I'm afraid of getting beaten up by her. Sigh, my sister used to love me so much, but ever since that bastard Xiao Tianci came along, she doesn't love me at all anymore. Master, you must help me get revenge, make sure he doesn't have a peaceful wedding." Dongfang Yan seemed to thrive on chaos.

"Xiao Yan, you've really spoken my mind this time. This guy can't be allowed to have peace. My poor, gentle, beautiful, and incredibly intelligent sister! I could have been carefree and did whatever I wanted, but that Xiao Tianci actually kidnapped her! Now I'm left to manage the entire Nangong family. Master, I support you going to settle accounts with him and make sure he has no peace!" Nangong Suifeng added fuel to the fire. The

Shaolin monks exchanged bewildered glances, while the other members of the White Alliance were both amused and exasperated. They were truly impressed by these two; they both had the same excuse.

"Oh, right, I only watch the show, I don't fight. My sister is also very fierce; I dare not provoke her," Nangong Suifeng added, seemingly forgetting that he had just described his sister as gentle.

"Young Master Dongfang, what's this about Xiao Tianci's marriage?" Yan Wuxin was still unaware.

"Doesn't Fairy Qiu know either? Didn't they send out wedding invitations here? Surely not," Dongfang Yan murmured, her tone full of surprise.

"Master, look," Qiu Shuiyao said helplessly, pulling a gleaming gold wedding invitation from her bosom and handing it to Yan Wuxin.

"Yao'er, do you want to go?" Yan Wuxin suddenly asked.

"Master, I... I'd better not go, and it's too late anyway," Qiu Shuiyao said softly after a moment's hesitation. Actually, she did want to go; after all, everyone knew about her relationship with Xiao Tianci, and having a formal status would be a good thing.

"Sister Shuiyao, if you're willing to go, of course you can make it in time," a charming voice rang out, and a captivating fragrance wafted into the hall, accompanied by the appearance of a radiant young woman.

"Princess Hanxiang." Someone called softly. Hanxiang smiled at the person who called out, instantly captivating them.

"Sister Shuiyao, Xiao Lang sent me to take you back. If you want to come after the wedding, I'll send you back immediately," Hanxiang said sweetly to Qiu Shuiyao.

"Yao'er, go ahead," Yan Wuxin said calmly. At the same time, Qiu Shuiyao heard Yan Wuxin's voice transmission again, "After you go, don't come back. Just stay there."

"Thank you for your kindness, Master." Qiu Shuiyao bowed gracefully, deciding to leave with Hanxiang. She understood that because of her relationship with Xiao Tianci, she was no longer suitable to stay here. However, remembering Xiao Tianci's instructions, she sent a voice transmission asking Yan Wuxin to take care of Situ Yu and the Murong family for her. Yan Wuxin naturally agreed. Perhaps Yan Wuxin herself didn't realize that she was now unconsciously siding with Xiao Tianci.

"Sister Shuiyao, let's go, Xiao Lang is waiting for you." Hanxiang called sweetly to Qiu Shuiyao. Qiu Shuiyao nodded and followed Hanxiang out, turning back to look at Yan Wuxin reluctantly as she left. Huiming

wanted to stop Hanxiang, but he noticed that Dongfang Yan and Nangong Suifeng had appeared out of nowhere, intentionally or unintentionally blocking his way. In the end, everyone could only watch helplessly as the two stunning beauties disappeared from sight.

"We won't disturb you any longer, we'll take our leave too," Nangong Suifeng said calmly. He had actually come to see Qiu Shuiyao, and now that she was gone, he naturally left as well.

**********

The hall, which had just been filled with what seemed like a farce, had now returned to calm. The debate over whether the White Alliance should replace Shaolin was still ongoing. Kunlun and Qingcheng had clearly expressed their disapproval, while Wudang and Emei remained silent. Situ Yu also seemed to disagree, though Situ Yingwu appeared to agree. Some were beginning to sense a growing disagreement between the Situ siblings.

"Fairy Yan, it seems you're going to indulge Xiao Tianci's reckless behavior," Huiming said, his composure not yet fully developed. Seeing that Yan Wuxin had actually agreed to Qiu Shuiyao leaving the White Alliance to marry Xiao Tianci, he spoke with some resentment.

"It's difficult for everyone to clearly judge Xiao Tianci's merits and demerits. If everyone here thinks the White Alliance should deal with him, then I naturally have nothing to say and will stand on your side," Yan Wuxin said calmly. "Moreover, Xiao Tianci didn't personally kill those two Shaolin monks, but he did personally kill Bi Qingyun, the sect leader of the Demonic Sect's Heavenly Desire Sect. I think it's inappropriate for us to criticize him at this time. Of course, this is just my personal opinion, and you can disregard it."

"What Fairy Yan says makes sense. I also believe that we should deal with the Demonic Sect first, and put Young Master Xiao's matter aside for now. I think Young Master Xiao is currently busy with his wedding, and even if he wanted to harm us, he wouldn't act now. Moreover, if I may be so bold as to say something that might diminish my prestige, with the strength of our White Alliance, we are simply no match for Young Master Xiao. If he really wanted to deal with us, perhaps our White Alliance would already be extinct." After a long silence, Daoist Chongxu finally spoke.

"Master, are you overestimating his strength?" Huiming asked, somewhat disbelievingly.

"Many people know how skilled Young Master Xiao is in martial arts. We can disregard him for now. Master, just look at this wedding invitation; you should understand whether we have the ability to deal with him." Master Chongxu also took out the wedding invitation and handed it to Huiming.

"It's not that I want to boost their morale, but Ye Bingying and Miss Dongfang alone are enough to handle all of us. Even if Fairy Qiu and Sword Queen Qin don't intervene, there are still Princess Hanxiang and others; we have no one of equal strength to match them." Master Chongxu continued.

"In your opinion, Master, wouldn't Xiao Tianci be able to do whatever he wants?" Huiming asked, unconvinced.

"To some extent, he does possess that ability," Master Chongxu said calmly. "However, based on my understanding of him, he wouldn't do that. In fact, he's had this ability for a long time, but he hasn't actively done anything too outrageous. As long as he doesn't harm his beloved, he generally won't make a move." It seems Master Chongxu truly understands Xiao Tianci quite well.

Many people already understood Master Chongxu's words. This is why, although many were dissatisfied with Xiao Tianci, they hadn't actively demanded to deal with him. However, Shaolin had always been powerful and somewhat arrogant, seemingly disregarding everyone, and therefore didn't fully understand Xiao Tianci's strength. In truth, Huijue's death wasn't entirely unjust.

The White Alliance's meeting ultimately ended without result, while within the Xiaoyao Sect, Xiao Tianci spent his days indulging in debauchery, partying with women day and night.

The wedding on April 18th was grand yet simple, just as Xiao Tianci had expected. No one came to congratulate him. What pleased him most was that Qiu Shuiyao had been brought back by Hanxiang the night before the wedding. However, he was disappointed that Qin Mengru and Shuiyun were still missing, as they hadn't found her either.

(Volume 2, Surrounded by Enemies, Chapter 12: A Dream of Fragrant Footprints)

In Suzhou City, at midnight, the pink butterfly Hua Yulang, dressed in black, swiftly swept across the rooftops. Hua Yulang was a notorious womanizer in Jiangnan. His martial arts skills weren't high, but his lightness skill was excellent. He was also quite clever; his targets were usually ordinary young women from humble families, with little connection to martial arts figures. This way, martial arts masters wouldn't usually go to great lengths to deal with him, which was one of the reasons he had survived until now.

During the day, he set his sights on another target, the most beautiful woman he had seen so far. From his observation, she was slender and delicate, knew no martial arts, and was alone, seemingly visiting relatives from out of town. He had already scouted out her whereabouts during the day, and night would be his time to strike. Thinking of her beautiful face and graceful figure, he felt a surge of desire.

Finally arriving at his destination, he gently lifted a tile and saw that the woman was indeed still inside, not yet asleep. He lightly leaped down from the roof, tiptoed to the window, gently opened it, and jumped inside. The girl seemed lost in thought, completely unaware of his arrival.

"My beauty, I'm here," Hua Yulang murmured, rushing towards the girl.

"You've finally arrived! I've been waiting for you for so long." The girl suddenly turned her head, and Hua Yulang's expression changed drastically. He realized he hadn't pounced on the girl, and his own body was already immobilized.

"Actually, you're quite cute. It's a pity you're about to die." The girl looked regretful. "Young master, how will you thank me? I caught this person for you." The last sentence was addressed to someone behind her.

"Peony, how do you want me to thank you?" Xiao Tianci emerged from behind the bed, his face full of ill intent.

"Young master, look how much I sacrificed for you. Please treat me well, okay? Remember to be good to me from now on." Peony was still making exorbitant demands, completely unaware of the impending doom.

"I'll treat you well now." Xiao Tianci suddenly picked her up and carried her to the bedside.

“Young Master, no!” Peony blushed. “Just kill this man first.”

“Let him hear it, it won’t hurt.” Xiao Tianci muttered, waving his hand. Hua Yulang’s life ended there, and Peony’s “misfortune” began to descend. It was a pity that Hua Yulang would die with his eyes wide open in disbelief.

“Young Master, you have to compensate me.” Peony looked aggrieved. “Look, I was even harassed by a lecherous scoundrel while trying to help you.”

“What? Harmed by a lecherous scoundrel? He didn’t even touch you!” Xiao Tianci didn’t react, kissing Peony’s naked skin and gently biting her nipple, causing her to tremble.

“Look, now I’m being harassed by the world’s number one lecherous scoundrel.” Peony groaned, speaking sweetly.

"You little devil, you were just teasing me!" Xiao Tianci finally realized what was happening. Lately, the women had been frequently making fun of him about this, which he found quite frustrating. Now, he'd been tricked by Shaoyao again.

"Since I'm a lecher now, I'll bully my little devil even more." Xiao Tianci greedily sucked on Shaoyao's breasts, beginning his wanton possession and invasion of her body once more.

April 20th, Pink Butterfly Flower Jade Lang died in Suzhou; Flower Jade Lang, eighth on the list of lechers.

April 21st, Flower-Cherishing Gentleman Wang Xihua died in Jiangxia; Wang Xihua, second on the list of lechers.

April 22nd, Flower-Destroying Gentleman Zhao Yunlong died in Luoyang; Zhao Yunlong, fourth on the list of lechers. On April 28th, Fu Tianxie, the "Master of Flower Picking," died in Chang'an. Fu Tianxie was ranked tenth on the list of notorious lecherous thieves.

With this, nine notorious flower-picking bandits in the martial world had met their untimely deaths. At this moment, Xiao Tianci finally felt a great weight lifted from his shoulders. "Xiao Lang, are you going to Emei?" Hanxiang asked, nestled close to Xiao Tianci.

"On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, the decisive battle will be held at the Yellow Crane Tower." Xiao Tianci murmured softly. "Mengru is about to have her duel with Han Tianxia. I haven't seen her in a long time and I'm a little worried about her, so I want to go to the Yellow Crane Tower in Wuchang first. As for Xinwu, she gave me three months. It's still early. I can go to Emei after I find Mengru." "

Xiao Lang, can I go with you?" An Ling pestered him.

"Ling'er, I'll go to the An family with you after a while. But this time, you don't need to come to Wuchang. I can go alone." Xiao Tianci understood that An Ling quietly wanted to go home to visit, since they had secretly married outside without An Shouxin's consent.

"I know you want to be alone with Sister Mengru." An Ling pouted and muttered. Xiao Tianci pretended not to hear. An Ling was indeed partly right. He found himself still somewhat uneasy about his feelings for Qin Mengru. He was reluctant to bring other women to see Qin Mengru, ultimately fearing that Qin Mengru might be unhappy. Although Qin Mengru might not necessarily feel that way, her duel with Han Tianxia imminent was approaching, and he didn't want anything that could affect her mindset.

On the first day of the fifth lunar month, Xiao Tianci bid farewell to all the women, boarded a white crane, and flew towards Wuchang City.

By evening, Xiao Tianci had arrived in Wuchang. Since it wasn't yet the Dragon Boat Festival, he first found a riverside inn to stay at. This time, he had learned his lesson and changed the name.

After dinner, Xiao Tianci began to wander around Wuchang City. He didn't know where Qin Mengru was; he just wanted to try his luck and see if he could find her. Although he could see her by the fifth day of the new year at the latest, he found that his longing for her was growing stronger and stronger, and he couldn't wait to see her.

Suddenly, he stopped and let out a soft sigh. He had spotted two young women, two very beautiful young women, and most importantly, he recognized them, though he hadn't seen them for a long time.

A thought struck him, and he followed them. After winding their way through the streets, they arrived at a low, small house and went inside. Xiao Tianci hesitated for a moment before following them in. As soon as he stepped inside, he found the two young women looking at him with hostility.

"Miss Liu, it's been a long time," Xiao Tianci said awkwardly, bowing slightly.

"Oh, so it's you, you big pervert! Confess, what are you doing following us? Are you after my sister?" the purple-clad girl exclaimed, as if suddenly realizing something.

"Sister, don't talk nonsense," the green-clad girl gently stopped her sister, turning back to Xiao Tianci with a hint of apology. "So it's Young Master Xiao

. We're so sorry, we thought we were being followed by enemies." "Sister, I think he is the enemy. Otherwise, why would he be following us so suspiciously?" the purple-clad girl whispered.

Xiao Tianci was extremely embarrassed. These two girls were the twins from Jiuhua Mountain, Liu Qingluan in green and Liu Zifeng in purple. He hadn't seen them for almost a year, but their personalities hadn't changed at all. Liu Qingluan was more composed, while Liu Zifeng was still as carefree as ever.

"Young Master Xiao, may I ask what brings you here?" Liu Qingluan glared at her sister and asked Xiao Tianci gently.

“Sister, is that even a question? His wife is having a martial arts competition, of course he’s coming!” Liu Zifeng interjected, giving Xiao Tianci a smug look.

“Miss Feng is right, I did come for Mengru’s competition. But why are you two ladies here? Just to watch the show?” Xiao Tianci asked.

“Why should we tell you what we’re doing here? We don’t even know you,” Liu Zifeng said irritably.

“Miss Feng, I didn’t mean anything by it, I was just asking. If it’s inconvenient for me to tell you, that’s fine,” Xiao Tianci said politely, though inwardly he wanted to beat the girl up; she always seemed to be picking on him.

“Sister, don’t be silly. We’re here for serious business, don’t be willful,” Liu Qingluan said, unable to do anything about her sister, and could only try to reason with her.

“I just can’t stand men who are so philandering,” Liu Zifeng muttered, then fell silent.

“Young Master Xiao, do you remember what we discussed last year about our suspicions regarding Fang Ming and his son Fang Zhenyuan from Zhenyuan Escort Agency?” Liu Qingluan asked.

“Of course I remember. Did you come here because of them, Miss?” Xiao Tianci asked.

“We followed Fang Zhenyuan here, but suddenly we lost sight of him. He seemed to have vanished into thin air,” Liu Qingluan said, nodding slightly.

“Miss Luan, if I may be so bold as to ask, why are you so concerned about the Fang father and son?” Xiao Tianci voiced his doubts.

“Who’s concerned about them?” Liu Zifeng glared at Xiao Tianci.

“Actually, there’s a reason, but I don’t know if Young Master Xiao has the patience to listen,” Liu Qingluan sighed softly.

“Please speak frankly, young lady. I am all ears,” Xiao Tianci said. He was still very polite to the two sisters, mainly because Liu Zifeng was too fierce, so it was better to be courteous.

After Liu Qingluan explained in detail, Xiao Tianci understood that the most outstanding disciple of the Jiuhua Sword Sect was not actually Liu Qingluan's father, but her junior brother Liu Fang. The two brothers had a very good relationship, and at that time, everyone thought the position of sect leader of the Jiuhua Sword Sect would be passed to Liu Qingluan's uncle, including Liu Qingluan's father, Liu Jian. However, Liu Fang mysteriously disappeared. Liu Jian always believed he had been murdered. However, three years ago, Liu Jian suddenly found some clues among Liu Fang's belongings. He believed that Liu Fang might still be alive, but under a different identity, and the biggest suspect was Fang Ming of Zhenyuan Escort Agency.

“My father said that my uncle is very clever and also knows disguise, so it’s very likely he can change his appearance. As for why he thinks Fang Ming is suspicious, we don’t know either. Father just told us to pay attention to the movements of Zhenyuan Escort Agency,” Liu Qingluan said quietly.

“This is getting more and more complicated,” Xiao Tianci murmured. “Could it be that Fang Ming is both Fang Ce and Liu Fang? Could he have other identities?” “

Young Master Xiao, are you sure Fang Ming is Fang Ce?” Liu Qingluan asked.

“I can’t be completely sure yet,” Xiao Tianci shook his head. “However, we can basically deduce that it is.”

“Nonsense, that’s like saying nothing at all,” Liu Zifeng muttered again.

“Ladies, I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave.” Xiao Tianci thought that he didn’t have anything else to do, and he really couldn’t stand Liu Zifeng’s cold words anymore, so it was best to leave. Besides, Qin Mengru was nowhere to be found.

"Young Master Xiao, please take care. I won't see you off." Liu Qingluan's gentle voice came from behind.

"Sister, why do I find you so nice to that lecherous man?" After Xiao Tianci left, Liu Zifeng looked at Liu Qingluan as if she were a monster.

"Sister, how can you talk nonsense? How have I been nice to him?" Liu Qingluan rolled her eyes at Liu Zifeng.

"You say you weren't nice to him? You've told him everything, except your birth date and time." Liu Zifeng said.

"Let's not talk about that. Let's think about how to find Fang Zhenyuan first." Liu Qingluan said helplessly.

"I guessed right." Liu Zifeng was still unwilling to let Liu Qingluan off the hook, and continued relentlessly. Unable to do anything else, Liu Qingluan simply remained silent. She knew her younger sister's personality well enough; she

knew her sister would stop talking to herself when she lost interest.

Xiao Tianci walked listlessly through the city when suddenly a thought struck him. He turned around abruptly, overwhelmed with joy, but momentarily stunned. He had searched for her a thousand times, and there she was, in the dim light. Qin Mengru, with her long, flowing hair, was smiling at him, her eyes filled with a mixture of doting affection and sorrow.

"Mengru," Xiao Tianci called softly, then rushed forward, embracing her tightly. He couldn't express the longing he had felt for her over the past few days; he only knew to hold her tighter and tighter, afraid that if he let go, she would fly away, afraid that she would suddenly disappear from his sight.

"Silly boy, there are so many people," Qin Mengru whispered, gently shifting her body slightly.

"Mengru, I missed you so much," Xiao Tianci said, oblivious to the many eyes watching them. His eyes were only on the beauty before him, and he poured out his deepest longing for her.

"Silly boy, let's go back first." Qin Mengru gently moved, breaking free from Xiao Tianci's hand, then took his arm and led him slowly away. Pedestrians on the street parted to make way. Although the two exchanged only a few words, everyone around seemed to feel the genuine affection between them. At this moment, no one was jealous, only offering blessings.

"Sister, they are so happy," Liu Zifeng murmured from behind the crowd.

"Didn't you say you disliked fickle men the most?" Liu Qingluan glanced at her sister indifferently.

"But, sister, I really felt his feelings for Qin Mengru just now, so real, so real!" Liu Zifeng said dreamily, her eyes glazed over.

"Wake up, they're already far away," Liu Qingluan patted Liu Zifeng's head impatiently. Meanwhile, Xiao Tianci and Qin Mengru had already disappeared from everyone's sight.

Volume Two, Surrounded by Enemies, Chapter Thirteen: The True and False Heaven-Sent

Yellow Crane Inn.

Under the soft lamplight, the two gazed at each other in silence.

"Silly boy, haven't you seen enough yet?" Qin Mengru said coquettishly.

"No, I could never see enough," Xiao Tianci murmured, his eyes still fixed on Qin Mengru's beautiful face.

"Haven't seen you for months, how have you become so silly?" Qin Mengru chuckled softly, slowly rising and nestling against Xiao Tianci.

"Mengru, I really missed you so much. Where have you been these past few days? I couldn't find you anywhere," Xiao Tianci asked softly, embracing her and whispering in her ear.

"I've always been here," Qin Mengru said softly. "Back then, I couldn't find you, and I thought you... Then I found Han Tianxia and arranged a duel with him. After the duel, I had no other worries, so I could stay with you in peace." "

Later, I heard you were still alive. I wanted to go find you, but then I remembered the duel was about to start, so I stayed here. I plan to come find you after the duel," Qin Mengru continued. "Actually, the outcome of the duel isn't that important to me anymore. It's good that you're alive. Do you know how worried I was those days?" Qin Mengru's voice choked slightly. Being of noble birth, she rarely found someone to confide in. Her longing for her lover and the pain in her heart were buried deep inside until she met Xiao Tianci, at which point she could finally speak of them.

"Mengru, from now on we'll never be apart again, okay?" Xiao Tianci murmured dreamily, lowering his head to kiss her, gently sucking on her lips. Qin Mengru responded passionately; all the longing of the past six months had finally come to fruition today.

"Xiao Lang, today I'll spend the day with you properly," Qin Mengru murmured softly, her face flushed. Her hot, soft body began to entwine around Xiao Tianci's, and he kissed her again, his movements growing increasingly passionate and wild. Clothes were gradually removed from their bodies until they were intimately united.

Xiao Tianci expressed his love for Qin Mengru in the wildest way, wave after wave of intense thrusts, frantically conquering her beautiful body. The ethereal beauty of the past revealed another side of herself today, passionately responding to her lover's caresses, her body writhing like a serpent. She was no longer the aloof and powerful swordswoman; she was now simply Xiao Tianci's little woman. Soft panting, melodious moans escaping her lips, Xiao Tianci relentlessly possessed every inch of her skin, wanting to remember its every feature forever.

It wasn't until dawn that their all-night conquest ceased. Xiao Tianci was still greedily sucking at her glistening, white skin. Her delicate, begonia-like face, still flushed with the afterglow of their revelry, held an added allure, making her already breathtakingly beautiful even more stunning.

"Xiao Lang, you're so greedy," Qin Mengru said softly, nestled languidly against Xiao Tianci's chest.

"Mengru, I truly want to be with you like this forever," Xiao Tianci said tenderly.

"No way! You wish! What would that make me?" Qin Mengru spat lightly, suddenly revealing a hint of her tigress nature. "I'm telling you, I'm going to sleep now. You're not allowed to move, or I'll make you regret it." She leaned closer, pressing herself evenly against Xiao Tianci, her breathing gradually becoming even. Soon, she drifted off to sleep. Xiao Tianci, though tired, dared not sleep, as danger could approach at any moment.

He gently embraced Qin Mengru and began circulating his inner energy to replenish his strength. One great advantage of Xiao Tianci's Free and Unfettered True Qi was that it could be used anytime, even while lying in bed. As his inner energy circulated, his strength rapidly recovered. Xiao Tianci was now certain that his inner energy had healing properties, but he didn't know why. The only certainty was that the inner energy within him was no longer pure Free and Unfettered True Qi; it seemed to contain several other types of inner energy, though they hadn't yet fully integrated. His current skill level is already very high. In terms of internal energy alone, there are probably few in the current martial arts world who can compare to him. Last time, Bi Qingyun gave him decades of internal energy. He originally thought that after the Heavenly Desire True Qi was eliminated, it would be gone. However, he later discovered that it seemed the Heavenly Desire True Qi wasn't eliminated but rather assimilated by the true energy within his body. Inadvertently, he benefited from this misfortune, only to harm another beautiful young woman.

As evening fell, Xiao Tianci finally awoke from his meditative state. Opening his eyes, he found Qin Mengru staring at him with her beautiful eyes. Their faces were only an inch apart. Xiao Tianci suddenly moved slightly and kissed Qin Mengru on the cheek.

"You big pervert, you ambushed me!" Qin Mengru glared at Xiao Tianci.

"I'm a pervert by nature, but I only become one when I see my Mengru," Xiao Tianci chuckled softly, suddenly flipping over and pinning Qin Mengru beneath him...

For the past few days, Qin Mengru and Xiao Tianci seemed to have forgotten that the Dragon Boat Festival was approaching, and Qin Mengru's martial arts competition was just around the corner. The two were still indulging in revelry day and night. Xiao Tianci seized almost every opportunity to be intimate with Qin Mengru, and Qin Mengru always obliged. Perhaps it's only after losing something that one truly appreciates it; perhaps Qin Mengru is like that too.

"Mengru, tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival. Get some rest today," Xiao Tianci said softly, holding Qin Mengru on the eve of the festival.

"Xiao Lang, don't worry, I'll be fine," Qin Mengru whispered, nestled in Xiao Tianci's arms. That night, the two slept peacefully in each other's arms, experiencing a unique and tender warmth. The annual Dragon Boat Festival has finally arrived, and the festive atmosphere fills the streets and alleys.

The

area under the Yellow Crane Tower is packed with people, including countless martial arts practitioners. Everyone knows that the legendary Sword Master and Sword Queen will compete here. It is said that the Sword Master is more elegant than others and the Sword Queen is more beautiful than all others. Their martial arts skills are unmatched in the world. Most people who come here today want to see the Sword Master and Sword Queen, and even more so, they want to witness the duel between the two who represent the highest level of swordsmanship.

“Mengru, why don’t you skip the duel?” Xiao Tianci suddenly had a bad feeling and didn’t want Qin Mengru to go.

“Xiao Lang, you know I’m going no matter what, and are you worried I’m not his match?” Qin Mengru sighed softly. She knew her lover cared about her, but she couldn’t break her promise.

Xiao Tianci remained silent. He knew he couldn’t persuade Qin Mengru, but he had a vague, uneasy feeling. He didn’t know why, which was why he suddenly asked Qin Mengru not to go. He understood that Qin Mengru’s martial arts were already at a superb level, comparable to Qiu Shuiyao and Ye Bingying, but he was still worried.

“Is this what they call being blinded by concern?” Xiao Tianci sighed inwardly. Suddenly, he heard a faint whooshing sound, and his heart skipped a beat. His longsword was already out, and with a clang, the incoming object was knocked down.

"Meet me ten miles west of the city, I have something to discuss. Liu Qingluan." A small dagger was attached to a brocade handkerchief with a few delicate characters written on it.

"Who is Liu Qingluan?" Qin Mengru asked, a little jealous.

"The daughter of the leader of the Jiuhua Sword Sect. But why are they looking for me? I'm not really familiar with her." Xiao Tianci was puzzled.

"They probably missed you." Qin Mengru rolled her eyes at Xiao Tianci.

"Mengru, I really don't know them well." Xiao Tianci quickly explained, "Mengru, your martial arts competition starts in half an hour. I think they shouldn't have any problems. Let's talk after your competition. I don't want to leave you at this time." Xiao Tianci casually tucked the handkerchief into his pocket and said softly.

"Xiao Lang, I think you should still go. What if she really has something important to do?" Qin Mengru sighed softly. She also wanted Xiao Tianci to accompany her, but after thinking about it, she felt it was better for Xiao Tianci to go instead.

"I won't go, Mengru. Let's go to the Yellow Crane Tower." Xiao Tianci said calmly.

"I told you to go, so go! Go quickly and come back quickly. I'll wait for you to come back and go with you." Qin Mengru glared at Xiao Tianci, looking a little fierce.

"Alright, I'll go then." Xiao Tianci said somewhat helplessly. He had long known that women could be unreasonable.

************

"You're back so soon?" After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Xiao Tianci returned. Qin Mengru asked, a little surprised.

"Yes, Mengru." Xiao Tianci said, seemingly slightly taken aback.

Qin Mengru's expression suddenly changed. After a moment's hesitation, she suddenly asked, "Have you seen Sister Shuiyao? Why didn't she come with you?"

"Oh, I haven't seen her. I was worried you'd come back early," Xiao Tianci replied casually.

"Xiao Lang, let's go to the dueling ground now. The time is almost up," Qin Mengru said calmly, a cold glint flashing in her eyes. She walked up to Xiao Tianci and moved slightly closer.

"It's still early. Let's go later," Xiao Tianci replied absentmindedly.

"It's not early anymore, but you don't need to go," Qin Mengru said coldly. Suddenly, Xiao Tianci felt a sharp pain in his chest; Qin Mengru's longsword was already embedded in his chest.

"You, how could you…" Xiao Tianci looked horrified.

"Do you know? There are no two people in the world who are exactly alike. Even if they look very similar, they are easy to tell apart. Moreover, a woman always has a special feeling for the man she is closest to, a feeling that no one else can imitate," Qin Mengru said calmly. "I think you can die in peace now."

"Qin Mengru, you're ruthless!" Xiao Tianci cried out hatefully, his pupils dilating as he finally collapsed, his eyes filled with resentment.

"If I, Qin Mengru, can even mistake my own man, then I'm not Qin Mengru," Qin Mengru muttered to herself, looking down closely and suddenly tearing off a piece of skin-like material from the man's face.

"This person looks familiar, who is he?" Qin Mengru murmured, then suddenly remembered, "Fang Zhenyuan, Fang Zhenyuan from Zhenyuan Escort Agency. Poor thing, you died such an unjust death." Qin Mengru looked regretful. She usually didn't kill people, but she couldn't tolerate someone impersonating Xiao Tianci to deceive her, so poor Fang Zhenyuan died so inexplicably.

"Will Xiao Lang be alright?" Not only had Xiao Tianci not returned, but a fake Xiao Tianci had also appeared. Qin Mengru couldn't help but worry, but thinking that it would be too late if she didn't go to the martial arts competition soon, she could only comfort herself that Xiao Tianci would be alright.

************

Xiao Tianci arrived ten miles west of the city and indeed saw Liu Qingluan and Liu Zifeng.

"Miss Luan, what brings you here?" Xiao Tianci asked as Liu Qingluan greeted him.

"Young Master Xiao, didn't you ask us for something?" Liu Qingluan asked in surprise. Liu Zifeng also looked confused, but she seemed much nicer to Xiao Tianci now, no longer giving him a hard time.

"Didn't you give this to me?" Xiao Tianci took out a handkerchief, and Liu Qingluan also took out an identical one. Looking at the words on it, it was indeed Xiao Tianci's name inviting her.

"Conspiracy!" Xiao Tianci and Liu Qingluan stood facing each other, suddenly uttering those two words simultaneously.

"Not good, Mengru!" Xiao Tianci's first thought was that someone wanted to harm Qin Mengru and had sent him away. He hurriedly turned to leave.

"Young Master Xiao, wait, we'll go with you," Liu Qingluan said, following him. Xiao Tianci nodded without speaking; he only knew he needed to get back to Qin Mengru as quickly as possible.

"What mischief are you rushing off to do?" A mocking voice suddenly rang out, and a figure blocked Xiao Tianci's path. Purple-clad, purple-haired Zi Yunfei.

"Get lost!" Xiao Tianci had never been so angry before, and said coldly.

"Xiao Tianci, what are you, daring to speak to me like that?" Zi Yunfei's face flushed red with rage; perhaps no one had ever spoken to him like that before.

"I don't have time for your nonsense." Without a word, Xiao Tianci coldly snorted, his sword already drawn, and then he thrust it towards Zi Yunfei.

"Xiao Tianci, you're despicable! You attacked without warning!" Zi Yunfei exclaimed in surprise, hastily stepping aside. Xiao Tianci darted past, disappearing like lightning. Zi Yunfei cursed angrily at Xiao Tianci's retreating figure, but Xiao Tianci had no time to pay attention. Liu Qingluan and Liu Zifeng also glared at Zi Yunfei with hostility before hurriedly following behind Xiao Tianci.

"Mengru, Mengru!" Xiao Tianci burst through the door, urgently calling Qin Mengru's name, but there was no answer.

"Young Master Xiao, don't worry. Fairy Qin should have already gone to the competition venue. It's almost time. I think we should go to the Yellow Crane Tower first," Liu Qingluan said, feeling sorry for Xiao Tianci's aimless wandering.

Xiao Tianci thought about it and agreed. He had been so worried about Qin Mengru that his mind had become sluggish. So he nodded silently, glanced inside the room again to make sure Qin Mengru was no longer there, and then hurriedly went out. Liu Qingluan shook her head with a wry smile and followed behind Xiao Tianci. The two sisters were always together, so Liu Zifeng naturally followed Xiao Tianci as well.
