Chapter 195 The Bewitching Staircase

As if to verify my words, whoosh—, a gust of cold wind blew in, making the women tremble and causing the flame in my hand to flicker. *Pfft*, it went out.

Ah—

the women's screams rose in waves, one after another. I don't know who spoke first, but the women's natural instincts were on full display at this moment. Except for Gu Yibai beside me, they all screamed.

"What's all the noise about? All of you shut the hell up!"

I roared, the sound echoing through the passage. The women's screams stopped abruptly, as if the roar had given them a tranquilizer. They tightly shut their mouths, not daring to breathe, afraid of provoking me.

*Pfft*, I rekindled the flame, reigniting the torch. The red glow of the fire reflected my slightly angry mouth, which looked incredibly eerie to the women. "Sigh!" I sighed. "It's alright, maybe the door closed automatically. Okay, everyone follow me. With me here, even a bull would have to give way." I casually joked, and the women finally calmed down. Even the most timid Zhou Xiaomei stared intently at my back with her big, watery eyes. To be honest,

I haven't had much contact with Zhou Xiaomei.

Ever since she was terrified by my terrifying dominance in bed, she's been like a mouse before a cat whenever she sees me, always hiding and dodging. Her mother, Zhou Wanniang, has scolded her countless times, but no matter how much she scolds, she hasn't become bolder or even glanced at me properly.

I can't live without women every night. Although I have two extremely beautiful virgins by my side, one is the noble and generous Elizabeth, and the other is the pure and beautiful Zhou Xiaomei, I secretly plan to take them as my wives. Taking them both body and soul is the ultimate goal of a womanizer, and both women still harbor resentment towards me. Besides, I'm no longer the impulsive youth I once was. After all these experiences, I've developed a kind of predatory mentality.

Good things are meant to be savored slowly; eating them too quickly is like Pigsy eating the ginseng fruit—tasteless!

Legend has it that love is the most wonderful feeling in the world. After my experience with Lin Lan, I thought about it carefully, and the only woman I've ever truly loved was Li Ling'er. Actually, I can only call women "liking." I like their beauty, I like their bodies, and I especially like the feeling of them moaning beneath me—in a word, amazing!

Thinking about my feelings for these "mothers," it's a strange mix of lust, kinship, and a man's possessiveness. Anyway, there's no blood relation, only a nominal title. In short, I'm reluctant to let them go.

If I find my father in the future, will I abandon them? The answer is definitely no. Leaving aside whether I have feelings for my father whom I've never met, I simply can't let go of these peerless beauties listed on the martial arts world's most beautiful list. What's more, back in the Valley of Leisure, I had a one-night stand with them, and I even took their virginity.

If word of this got out, wouldn't I be called a beast? But what does it matter if someone gets a few insults if they get to enjoy such a life? If someone else had my experience, wouldn't their choice be the same?

Now I'm actually looking forward to experiencing love. Perfect timing, I have two stunning beauties around my age, both foreign-born. Just thinking about it excites me…

Sayoko? Nonomiya Tamayo?

Hehe, I'm a beast, and I'm still missing a few beautiful women, aren't I? Even a beautiful flower needs green leaves, and behind the sunlight lies darkness! Hehehehe… (laughing lewdly)

Thinking smugly, the passage became increasingly bright as I walked. After climbing several dozen steps, I got a torch, which I gave to Miyamoto Yui. They walked in front and behind, illuminating the steps brightly.

"Uh, wait a minute, before entering the cave I clearly saw that after about a hundred steps there should be a turn, so why haven't I seen a bend after walking for so long? Maybe I'm just seeing things," I comforted myself.

But how could I be seeing things? With my current eyesight, I could clearly see that the steps beneath my feet were still an eerie, endless trail.

"Xiao Zheng, what's wrong?" Gu Yibai asked, noticing I had stopped.

"Something's strange!" I cautiously warned. The women stopped, their nerves immediately tensing, their hands gripping each other much tighter than before. Gu Yibai's slender hand, which she held, was sweaty and slippery.

We continued on, and this time I paid close attention, noticing that every ninety-nine steps down, there was a torch holder along the wall. I hadn't paid much attention before, but after we climbed another ninety-nine steps, I had to tell everyone, "We're in trouble."

Although I managed to speak calmly, those six words instilled fear in the timid women. Perhaps women are born with an inexplicable fear of the dark. In fact, it's not just women; I think all of humanity fears the dark. Otherwise, why would we yearn for light so much?

"What's wrong, Xiao Zheng?" Gu Yibai, her small hands slightly cold, asked, voicing the women's unspoken concerns.

"We're in trouble. We've likely fallen into some kind of formation. Look, I've calculated it. Every ninety-nine steps we climb, we'll encounter this torch slot on the wall. I specifically pressed my handprint next to it earlier, and look, it's still there. This is definitely not a coincidence. Nine times out of ten, we're going in circles! Everyone, stop! Don't move!"

The women gasped in shock.

"What should we do?"

"What's going on?"

"What about Xu Lang

?" "Xu Jun?

" "Mr. Xu..."

"Xiao Zheng..."

One duck, two ducks, suddenly countless duck calls filled my ears. Sigh, women, three women make a drama, let alone so many women here! Annoyed, I roared rudely, "Stop arguing, let me think."

The women paused, the passageway that had been noisy like a market fell silent, except for the crackling of torches.

"Don't worry, everyone, Xiao Zheng has been taught by the great hero Li Xiaoyao since he was a child, and he is quite knowledgeable in formations. Let him calm down, I believe he will lead us out."

Gu Yibai is so knowledgeable and polite, unlike me, a rough man who only knows how to yell and be unreasonable. Gu Yibai's words reassured the women, who quietly watched me sitting on the ground deep in thought, waiting for me to tell them good news.

I fell into deep thought, immersed in my own thoughts, everything around me seemed to disappear. This is my inner world when I'm contemplating. Whenever I'm in this state, it's usually because I've encountered a difficult problem. I've only been in this state twice in my life: once when Li Xiaoyao left without saying goodbye and ascended to heaven, and I sat on the mountain where he ascended, pondering for half a day; the other time is today.

This kind of formation should belong to the category of illusion formations. The method of creating illusions originates from the study of divination and the art of cycles. Take this ghostly staircase before us, for example. No matter whether we go up or down, we'll find that slot every ninety-nine steps. The builder of the staircase must have calculated that any intruder, upon discovering the endless staircase, would turn back and go back up. If we turn back and go back up, we'll fall into the builder's trap again, because there are also endless staircases above.

Could it be? That slot in the wall is an illusion? A thought flashed through my mind—yes, that must be it! Most formations have some kind of illusion or deception. If the trapped person uses this as a reference, they will inevitably feel fear, and it also serves to mislead and confuse the trapped person. I clapped my hands. "I've got it!"

Gu Yibai exclaimed in surprise, "What's wrong, Xiao Zheng?"

I turned to the women behind me and said, "We might be trapped in a maze-like formation. This torch slot by the wall is likely an illusion set up by the formation's creator. Everyone close your eyes, hold each other's hands tightly, and we'll walk down with our eyes closed. That should get us out of this ghostly staircase."

Even if I was wrong, the women had no choice but to listen to me, because I was the only one among them who knew a little about formations; the rest, even Gu Yibai, were completely clueless about them.

"Is everyone closed their eyes?"

the women all replied, "Yes. "

"Good, everyone, don't count the steps. Just think about happy things from the past. Open your eyes when I say stop. Okay?"

the women responded again, "Okay."

I didn't waste any more words. Wu Zi kept her eyes tightly closed and carefully descended slowly, thinking to myself, "What use is your illusion this time?"

The women were preoccupied with their own thoughts; I didn't know what happy things they were thinking about, but Gu Yibai's small hand suddenly warmed. I mischievously wondered if she was remembering that passionate night?

I hooked my little finger and gently traced it across her palm. Gu Yibai's hand visibly trembled, then she pinched the soft flesh on the back of my hand hard.

"Hiss—" I gasped, ouch, that hurt! No wonder they say a woman's heart is the most poisonous; if I hadn't stopped in time, you would have been seriously injured. That's what I thought, but I couldn't say it aloud. Not to mention how thin-skinned Yi Bai was, I couldn't afford to be careless in this situation.

My mind was filled with all sorts of romantic thoughts from the past; I didn't count the steps or even open my eyes. I estimated a quarter of an hour had passed, and I don't know how many steps I'd climbed, but it was definitely over ninety-nine. I opened my eyes and suddenly shouted, "Stop!"

"Ouch!"

My shout was so abrupt that Gu Yi Bai couldn't stop in time and crashed into my back, groaning. Her full body pressed against my back, and through the thin silk fabric, I could almost feel the heat of those two soft mounds. My lustful self immediately embarrassed itself, and I broke free and soared upwards.

One after another, the women bumped into the backs of the people in front of them. For a moment, Gu Yibai was like a dumpling skin being crushed, pressed tightly against me. "Ugh, so good." Less than an hour after our intense encounter, I was already aroused again. I shook my head. Sigh, I really am destined to be a lecher…

Chapter 196 The Aomu Immortal Technique

"Ah! Are we out?" Gu Yibai exclaimed softly, her arms suddenly straining to finally escape my broad back. To hide her embarrassment, she hurriedly asked.

Ignoring the alluring sight behind me, I looked around.

Ugh!

Another slot! How could this be?

Could this bewitching array be more than just an illusion?

"Ah—"

The women screamed again. Regardless of their status outside—princess or maid—on this dark and eerie bewitching staircase, they were all just women, women with an innate fear of the dark.

"How did we get back here?"

The women covered their mouths, staring incredulously at the torch slot on the wall. Inevitably, their blind faith in me began to waver slightly. When people are in trouble, they are always affected by negative emotions, and their contagiousness is even stronger than that of positive ones!

"Buddha, please help us, what should we do now?" the women prayed in alarm.

I frowned deeply, my eyes flashing with a sharp light, carefully examining this so-called "bewitching staircase." Yes, I must have missed some clue somewhere. The person who built the staircase must have tampered with it, otherwise it couldn't have such a terrifying effect. Seeing that

I remained silent, the women gradually fell silent as well. The dark and oppressive atmosphere returned to the passage, and fear gripped the women's hearts once more. Compared to Gu Yibai and Miyamoto Yui, the other women were clearly much more frightened.

What to do? After looking for a long time, I still couldn't figure out the secret of this passage. I angrily punched the wall. Boom—, a fist-sized hole immediately appeared in the wall, about half a foot deep.

A foot? Half a foot?

A sudden inspiration flashed through my mind, yet I couldn't quite grasp it. What was it? A foot, half a foot?

That's it, width, yes, that's the width.

To verify my guess, I hurriedly summoned Gu Yibai for help.

"What's up, Xiaozheng? Have you thought of a way?"

"Yibai, don't rush to ask, just do as I say. Come on, let's hold hands and stand side by side on a step. Youyi, watch everyone, stay where you are."

After I gave the instructions, all the women remained motionless as I commanded. Under my careful guidance, I took her right hand with my left, stretched out our arms, and the two of us slowly walked down the wall, feeling our way along the edge. After walking for a while, I asked her, "Yibai, have you found anything?"

Gu Yibai excitedly replied, "Yes, yes, it seems to have narrowed."

"Haha, that's right, it has narrowed. Damn it, according to my estimation, this so-called 'ghost ladder' pattern should be 'O' shaped, forming a large circle. No wonder we kept walking around and kept ending up at that slot."

"Right, but if that's the case, doesn't this bewitching ladder have no exit? Why would the person who built the ladder go to so much trouble to create such a deceptive contraption?"

"Yibai, you're right, there's definitely something wrong here. No one would go to such lengths to build such a huge project just to deceive people. In my opinion, there's another mechanism for the exit, it must be in these walls." After discussing it,

things became clear. They immediately found the other women, and everyone continued down. However, this time everyone's attention was focused on the walls on both sides.

Sure enough, after walking a short distance, a woman screamed behind me, "Here, here!"

Turning around, I was surprised to see that the first to discover the mechanism was none other than the timid Zhou Xiaomei. Appearances can be deceiving! Despite her cowardice, she was incredibly observant; even I, a self-proclaimed "master" of night vision, hadn't noticed it.

I held up my torch and peered closer. Sure enough, there was a button-shaped object about the size of a little finger on the left wall. A gentle press produced a clicking sound. It opened!

"There's a door here!" Miyamoto Yui suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

Good heavens, the Aomine Cult is incredibly cunning. The button is in front, the secret door behind—completely violating conventional building practices. I cursed the Aomine Cult inwardly, but the women were already impatient, urging me to clear the way.

I was extremely curious and excited. Common sense dictates that such a massive project must conceal a great secret. Could this be a treasure room, perhaps containing the Aomine Cult's Ice Man Technique? If I obtained such a secret technique, could I revive the four ancient beauties frozen in ice?

Urged on by the chattering women, I carried the torch and stepped through the hidden door in the wall.

It was another passage, but much narrower than the outer one, forcing me to stoop. I warned the women to be careful and activated my Dragon Power Shield to protect myself. Thankfully, it was only about ten meters long. Emerging from the narrow passage, the view suddenly opened up—a vast hall!

The air in the hall was fresh, clearly indicating secret ventilation shafts. The hall was circular, with a high altar in the center bearing a statue of the Mother of the Origin, though this one was more than ten times larger than the one we had just seen .

"Everyone be careful, stay behind me and don't act rashly. If we trigger any traps, it'll be troublesome!"

"Xiao Zheng, I think we should stay here for now. You go and investigate," Gu Yibai suggested.

"Hmm, that's better. Be careful then." Leaving the women gathered in a group, I cautiously observed my surroundings. There were two holes on each side of the round hall, presumably leading to other places. Nothing else was there except for the altar in the center, which was the most eye-catching feature.

Stepping onto the altar, I noticed something like a box at the feet of the statue of Mother Ao. Indeed, it was a stone box. I reached out to open the lid.

"Xiao Zheng, be careful, there might be a trap!" Gu Yibai noticed my unusual movement from afar and couldn't help but warn me.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine."

I was on high alert, and based on the ancient wisdom of caution, I slowly opened the lid. One inch, two inches, three inches…

Uh! There was nothing unusual, no traps, no pitfalls. Could it be that the Mother Ao cult had such high trust in the ghost ladder outside?

Without thinking too much, I finally opened the lid, and the contents were clearly visible. A

book.

A book.

A book titled "Mother Ao's Immortal Arts."

Overjoyed, I grabbed the book.

Suddenly, everything changed. With a deafening crash, the entire stone box collapsed and vanished from sight. Then, a stream of foul-smelling black liquid spewed from its spot, its target clearly me, the one wielding the magic. And that wasn't all. The statue of Mother Om suddenly shuddered, countless holes the size of steel balls appearing on its body.

Bang! Bang! Bang…

a series of explosions, faster than firecrackers, followed by a hail of steel balls hurtling towards me.

What a vicious scheme! Killing, destroying the book—a series of traps, firearms, and poison. Anyone else would have been dead by now. Fortunately, my Dragon Power Shield was invincible, able to withstand even bullets. I dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding the poison attack, but my right side was still riddled with steel balls, raining down on me.

Not a trace of blood was visible. The Dragon Force Shield flashed with golden light, and a series of loud popping sounds, like a tickle, were making me feel uncomfortable. Then I heard screams. Oh no! I forgot about the women behind me! Did the bullet hit someone? My scalp tingled, and I quickly turned around.

Whew—thank goodness! The bullet's angle was clearly off; the women weren't attacked at all.

I moved swiftly, appearing beside them in the next instant. "Are you all alright? Are you okay?"

Chapter 197 Mother Cave Horror

Gu Yibai's face was pale, and she kept complaining, "You little rascal, you scared me to death!"

I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed Gu Yibai's cold little hand, and was about to comfort her when Mena suddenly exclaimed, "Ah! What's that?" Everyone looked in the direction she was pointing and saw that from the deep hole beneath the original stone box under the Mother Statue, something jet black was continuously emerging.

With my sharp eyes, I spotted it immediately. "Everyone be careful, it's a scorpion!" I exclaimed, and the women screamed again, crowding around me, even Gu Yibai. It seems women are naturally afraid of these little creatures.

"Xiao Zheng, let's get out of this horrible place quickly. We've already obtained the secret technique anyway." Gu Yibai had noticed me tucking a book into my clothes earlier.

"Yes, this place is very eerie. It's best to leave as soon as possible. Everyone, head back the way we came. Youyi, you go first, I'll cover the rear!" As

soon as I spoke, Youyi obediently prepared to head back, but after only two steps, she screamed, "Poison...poisonous water!" The small hole we came from was now continuously gushing out bluish-black poisonous water. It hissed, emitted bluish smoke upon contact, and the ground visibly sank slightly. Such potent poisonous water, it could even melt the soil.

The situation was critical. Poisonous scorpions were in front, and venomous water was behind. I roared, "Quick, everyone, get out of that cave over there!" I pointed to a cave not far to the left. Gu Yibai, disregarding her panic, hurriedly urged the women to go. I stayed behind, relentlessly unleashing palm strikes. Any scorpions that approached the women were instantly pulverized by my fierce palm winds. Even so, the swarms of scorpions continued to pour towards us, turning the once blue floor black wherever they passed!

Nonomiya Tamayo was always strapped to my back with straps, making it difficult for me to move around. Although her voluptuous and alluring body constantly rubbed against me, unfortunately, I couldn't enjoy it. Sometimes I really wanted to just leave her to feed the scorpions, but my mischievous lustful heart would rise again. After all, she was a beauty on par with Miyamoto Yui. Wouldn't it be a pity for such a beauty to die?

Gu Yibai, bound in a shackle, led the women to the cave entrance and directed them to enter one by one. Zhou Xiaomei, the weakest, was given special attention and was the first to crawl into the cave. As soon as she entered, she let out a scream, "Honey...bees!"

A soft buzzing sound accompanied Zhou Xiaomei's fall from the cave entrance. This time, the women finally stopped screaming. Zhou Wanniang rushed to her daughter's side, painfully clutching her swollen, pig-trotter-like hand.

"Careful, everyone get out of the way!" Gu Yibai was the first to react, her hands waving frantically, swatting the first bees (what bees? They were clearly poisonous wasps!) that flew out of the cave against the cave wall, killing them. But more and more poisonous wasps kept emerging from the cave.

Seeing this from ten meters away, I quickly reminded her, "Yibai, hurry and seal the entrance! There's no time to lose, we'll slow it down as long as we can."

Gu Yibai knew she couldn't afford to delay any longer. Several poisonous bees had already escaped her dense palm wind array, but Miyamoto Yui had quickly killed them; otherwise, Zhou Xiaomei wouldn't be the only one poisoned.

"Hey!" Gu Yibai shouted, pushing with both palms. Her surging true energy crashed into the entrance, shattering the rocks above and sealing the entrance completely.

I had also cleared out many poisonous scorpions. I used two remote palm strikes to seal the entrances of the scorpions and the poisonous water, then leaped back to Gu Yibai's side, supporting her swaying body. I continuously channeled my dragon energy into her body to help her recover her strength. "Yi Bai, what's wrong?"

She shook her head and smiled slightly. "It's nothing, I'll be fine after a while of rest. Go check on Xiao Mei." I felt slightly relieved and turned to Zhou Xiao Mei's side. Zhou Xiao Mei had already fainted. The group of women were either too weak in martial arts or had no martial arts skills at all, and they were all helplessly comforting Zhou Wan Niang, who was crying her heart out.

When Zhou Wan Niang saw me, she threw herself at my side and cried out, "Xu... Xu Lang, you have to save Xiao Mei! Please, I can't live without Xiao Mei, sob sob..."

Zhou Wan Niang had never called me "Xu Lang" in front of others before, but now, in her turmoil, she finally overcame her inferiority complex and uttered the call of her soul.

I embraced her soft waist. "Wan Niang, don't worry, I will definitely save Xiao Mei. Be good, how can I treat Xiao Mei if you hold me like this?" Zhou Wan Niang cried out and released her grip as if electrocuted. I acted swiftly, raising my hand to grab Xiao Mei's wrist, and pressing her acupoints with my left hand to stop the poison from attacking her heart. I

used my internal vision technique and clearly saw a dark aura slowly advancing along Zhou Xiao Mei's left side. If I hadn't acted quickly, this beautiful woman would have passed away in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. I pulled Zhou Xiao Mei up and positioned her in a cross-legged sitting position, then sat down cross-legged behind her, pressing my palms against the acupoints on her back, preparing to expel the poison and heal her wounds.

"Yu Yi, protect me!"

"Yes!" Miyamoto Yu Yi stood beside me without a word, pulling the other women to within three feet of me, watching me nervously.

I had no idea what kind of poisonous bee it was; how could a mere bee possess such venom? Fortunately, my Dragon Force is naturally the nemesis of all poisons. From the moment my Dragon Force entered Zhou Xiaomei's body, the dark venom became restless, desperately trying to evade my attacks, retreating again and again. In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, white steam rose from Zhou Xiaomei's head, and the venom retreated to her left arm. I exerted more force, and wisps of dark, venomous blood oozed from the sting site on her left hand. The black blood flowed more and more, faster and faster, soon flowing onto the ground, emitting a foul stench!

I opened my eyes and saw the women's concerned faces. I smiled slightly, "Alright, Xiaomei is fine now, she'll wake up soon." As if to confirm my words, Zhou Xiaomei let out a soft moan and opened her beautiful eyes. Overjoyed, Zhou Wan Niang hugged her tightly, "My darling daughter, I was so worried about you!"

"Mother, why are you crying? Why is everyone looking at me?" Zhou Xiao Mei blushed sickly and said timidly, her beautiful eyes blinking as she looked at everyone. She caught my concerned gaze and quickly lowered her head.

"Alright, it's alright now, Wan Niang. Be careful, don't get any poisonous blood on your hands!" I tore off a corner of my clothes and wiped Zhou Xiao Mei's small hands clean.

Gu Yi Bai circulated her internal energy for a while, and with my help, her inner strength had already recovered. Walking to our side, she said, "Xiao Zheng, this place is not safe to stay any longer. Let's leave quickly."

All the women nodded. They were already terrified by this series of dangers, especially Princess Elizabeth. Although she had grown up among the common people, this was only the second time in her life she had encountered such a perilous situation. Therefore, when Gu Yi Bai said she wanted to leave, she nodded the most enthusiastically.

Miyamoto Yui stepped forward to help the weakened Zhou Xiaomei up, and the women prepared to depart. This time, I learned from my mistake and went to the last cave first. We entered the cave, walked five or six meters, and found nothing unusual. Gu Yibai called from outside, "Be careful, Xiao Zheng."

"Don't worry, you all stay outside for a while, I'll go in and check first."

The women watched my tall figure disappear into the cave, and a strange sense of panic washed over them. Elizabeth, supported by Menafina, nervously asked Gu Yibai, "Big sister, he... he won't be alright, will he?"

"Don't worry, Xiao Zheng is the number one expert in the world, how could he be alright?"

The women thought so too; if the number one expert in the world couldn't return, what hope did they have of escaping?

The women's hearts were pounding, and no one spoke; the hall was quiet, deathly silent.

Gu Yibai couldn't help himself and called out towards the cave entrance several more times, but there was no response. This time, the beauties were extremely anxious. Although Youyi was gentle by nature, once things involved her beloved, her heart was in turmoil, and she immediately wanted to go into the cave to find her lover. Gu Yibai grabbed her, "What are you doing?"

"I'm going to find Xu Lang."

"Listen to me, didn't Xiao Zheng just tell us to stay here? Don't worry, he'll be fine."

"But more than a quarter of an hour has passed, and he still hasn't returned. I'm so worried!"

"Sister, listen to me. You're worried? Aren't we worried too? Everyone cares about Xiao Zheng, and I've watched him grow up. How can I not worry about him? But he is a man after all, and we women must obey what men say and not make him worry. This ghost cave is full of traps. If Xiao Zheng comes back and finds that some of us are missing, how am I supposed to explain it to him?"

After these words, Miyamoto Youyi finally gave up the idea of going to find her lover. Miyamoto Yui suddenly asked, "Big sister, will you also marry Xu Lang?" Gu Yibai blushed crimson. Everyone here knew that she and Xu Zhengqi were "mother and son." However, she was overthinking it. To be honest, the beauties here were quite open-minded. Not to mention Elizabeth and her two sisters, who originally lived in the West and were very open-minded about matters of love; as long as both parties loved each other, they might get married. Elizabeth, born into royalty, had seen many capable men with multiple wives and concubines. As for Zhou Wanniang and the other women who lived in Japan, they had witnessed many of the beastly acts of the Japanese, and adultery between mothers and sons was commonplace, let alone the fact that Gu Yibai and Xu Zhengqi were only mother and son in name.

"I'm going to die, Yui, how can you ask such a question?" Gu Yibai was now like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl experiencing her first love, both shy and embarrassed. Miyamoto Yui, however, seemed quite open-minded. "Sister Gu, you'll be Xu Lang's woman sooner or later anyway, so why are you shy about saying these things?"

Gu Yibai was taken aback, thinking, "Yes, given Xu Zhengqi's personality, I won't be able to escape his clutches sooner or later. Do I really have to defy the world and marry my 'son'..."

(Chapter 198 Zombie Breasts)

Gu Yibai suddenly dared not think any further. Nominally, she was a married woman, a woman with a husband. Although her husband had been missing for over ten years, in the eyes of the martial arts world, she and her seventeen or eighteen sisters were all married women. Could societal morality allow her to remarry? If outsiders knew that the person she remarried was her "son," she would surely be condemned and scorned by everyone. How could she face the martial arts world then?

Besides, Xiao Zhengqi had a bright future ahead of him. Although his reputation in the martial arts world wasn't great, he hadn't fallen into evil ways, had he? If, because of her, the people of the martial world categorize him as a demon, how could she face Nangong Ziqian, who was still anxiously waiting for her son's return in Xiaoyao Valley?

No, this must not happen! She couldn't let Xiaozheng's life be ruined in her hands, she couldn't let him succeed!

Gu Yibai made up her mind in an instant. Poor thing, she didn't know that Xu Zhengqi had already committed an outrageous act. Her twin "sisters," Hua Yuelan and Hua Yuehui, had long been "eaten up" by that lecherous beast, Xu. If she knew this, would she change her mind?

Why hasn't our protagonist returned yet?

※※※

I crouched low, crouching as I moved through the deep cave. To scout ahead, I didn't hesitate to risk my life. Who told me to be so audacious, with so many women? Hehe, the nine women in the main hall, each one a beauty of unparalleled grace and charm! If even one were missing, I would be heartbroken, let alone nine! What wouldn't a man do to protect his women?

The cave was quite deep, and the further I went in, the stronger the stench became. A stench? Hmm, yes, there was a strong, strange stench.

After walking another ten meters or so, the cave became wider and wider; eventually, I could stand upright, my body two meters tall. The stench intensified, forcing me to take a deep breath and hold it. With my current level of breath control, holding my breath for half an hour was no problem.

I grew bolder and walked faster. To ensure the way ahead was safe, I had to find a way out quickly and then turn back to take the women out with me. I unleashed my Starry Chess Steps, and in the firelight, only faint shadows were visible. After a short while, I discovered that both sides were filled with cages, each containing mutilated corpses!

No wonder there was such a stench. But strangely enough! Why weren't these corpses rotting? Looking at the bars, it seemed like no one had touched them for at least several years. How could these corpses not rot? Though I had doubts, now was not the time for curiosity. I needed to find a way out quickly; the beauties were still waiting inside, and they must be getting impatient.

I rushed past without noticing that every time I passed a cell, the corpses inside would tremble…

A quarter of an hour later, I finally reached the end and crashed into a wall!

No way, how could I be so unlucky? I refused to believe it and slammed my palm into the wall. A deafening boom echoed as a hole a meter in diameter was punched in the wall. With my final blow, a sliver of moonlight pierced through. I was overjoyed and swung with even more energy. With a boom, I burst through the hole.

Land flight technique!

Floating in mid-air, I carefully observed the surroundings. The exit was on a cliff face, neither touching the sky nor the ground. Fortunately, it was only about ten feet from the bottom. With my current lightness skill, carrying a couple of people up and down shouldn't be a problem.

Alright, the exit problem is solved. My beauties, you must be getting impatient, I've come to pick you up! I hurriedly crawled out of the cave, but unexpectedly, I was greeted by a gust of cold wind!

Oh no, it's corpse poison!

Luckily, before coming in, I took a deep breath of fresh air, fearing the stench again. Otherwise, I would have been ambushed. "Who goes there? Show yourself if you dare!" I roared, and with a palm strike, I sent the cold wind and corpse poison flying back. With a soft thud, the enemy was smashed to pieces.

"Awooo—" A cry that was neither human nor inhuman rang out. To my surprise, I found that the corpses in the cages on both sides had come to life. Each one stared with fiery red eyes, stretched out its pale, bloodless hands, and struggled wildly. Each cage contained dozens of zombies, these zombies possessed immense strength. With a few snaps, they tore the bars apart, and one by one, the zombies pounced on me, as if I were an incredibly delicious meal.

"Monster, why don't you die quickly?" I transferred the torch to my left hand, and my right hand conjured a golden dragon-patterned sword. This dragon-patterned sword was formed from my dragon power, its sharpness comparable to divine weapons, such as Gan Jiang and Mo Xie. I unleashed

the Dragon Sword Technique, wide and sweeping.

The zombies didn't understand the concept of dodging. When my dragon-patterned sword slashed across their arms, necks, waists, and thighs, they seemed completely oblivious. Those with severed arms, severed necks, and even those cut in half at the waist, still crawled towards me with their legs and upper bodies intact.

I was almost scared out of my wits, but even with my extraordinary courage, I had never encountered such a bizarre enemy. I dare to defy the entire martial world, I dare to defy the entire world, yet when I face this strange creature, a living corpse, a chill runs through my entire body.

But who am I? I am the grand-disciple of Li Xiaoyao, the number one master in the world! To sit in this position, one's will must be unwavering, unyielding. The stronger the opponent, the stronger I become; the more setbacks I face, the more courageous I grow. If my blade cannot kill you, I will crush you to pieces. "Come on, you dead ghosts, come on, you damned idiots who should have gone to hell long ago. Let's see what your grandpa has up his sleeve. Ah—"

Protected by the Dragon Force Shield, I charged out of the pile of corpses, each punch and kick landing squarely on these zombies. Every zombie I struck exploded within a second, shattering into pieces. This move, which I once named "Dragon Explosion," involves injecting dragon power into the enemy's body in a unique way, creating a bomb-like effect. It first explodes inside the enemy, blasting their internal organs to smithereens, and then bursts out, shattering their limbs and even their head into fragments.

While the protagonist is frantically killing "people," let's introduce these zombies.

The corpses in the cages are actually "experimental subjects" used by the Ommu Cult for human experimentation. The Ommu Cult possesses a body-swapping technique, capable of cutting off necrotic parts of the human body and then grafting healthy parts of a living person onto the patient. The patient is cured, but where do these healthy parts come from?

The ruthless Ommu Cult devised a risk-free business plan. They sent martial arts masters to kidnap living people from various villages and fields, locking them in cages. When patients came to them for treatment, they would select one of these kidnapped people and cut off the corresponding body parts. For example, arms, thighs, and even eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and internal organs.

This "surgery" allowed the Ombudsman to rake in a fortune from wealthy patients. Meanwhile, the "suppliers" who provided the bodies were left to rot in agony in their cells. The lucky ones died on the operating table, the unlucky ones were carried into cages and died screaming in agony for days and nights.

I had already noticed the strangeness of this place; many zombies were missing limbs, and the few with intact limbs were all disemboweled. I didn't know what drug the Ombudsman had used on these dead, but they seemed to awaken at the mere smell of living people, becoming mindless, emotionless zombies driven only by the instinct to hunt.

Against my lightning speed, every zombie was instantly obliterated. After returning the last zombie to its rightful place, I was practically panting heavily. You see, while Dragon Explosion was effective, it consumed a tremendous amount of Dragon Power. Defeating hundreds of them had drained a full thirty percent of my strength.

Just as I relaxed, I heard the sound of chains dragging on the ground. The metal chains rattled on the bluestone floor, and from the depths of the cave, a tall, dark shadow seemed to be slowly approaching me. The atmosphere was extremely eerie. I tensed up, on high alert, but involuntarily took a step back, stepping on something soft!

Ah! I screamed in fright, leaping three feet away like a startled rabbit. Looking closer, I realized I had stepped on a white, cup-like object. Wasn't that a woman's breast? I was mortified…

I, Xu Zhengqi, who always hunts geese, would one day be pecked by one, scared half to death by a woman's thing… I was

sweating

buckets !

I couldn't take it anymore. I abruptly turned and leaped out of the cave, floating in mid-air, breathing in the fresh, cool mountain air. After a while, my pounding and panicked heart finally calmed down.

The sound of metal scraping the ground.

Legend has it that among zombies exists a Corpse King. Could this thing that brought me such an overwhelming sense of unease be the legendary Corpse King? I calmed myself, floating outside the cave entrance, observing the tall, dark figure approaching me without blinking, while secretly circulating my inner energy.

Closer, closer. I could see clearly now. First, a pair of huge feet, feet bigger than mine, then two trouser legs—no, they should be called armor. Next was the waist, a very thick waist, as thick as a water bucket, then two thick arms, each wrist secured with two chains as thick as a child's arm. Broad shoulders and a thick waist! A head as big as a bucket! What a man! Dressed in Japanese general's armor, he was nearly two meters tall, about my height, but his limbs were several sizes thicker than mine. If it weren't for his two blood-red eyes concealing his domineering aura, his imposing presence would be even stronger.

But now he was a zombie, regardless of whether he was a king or a bandit in life. It roared at me, revealing a mouthful of rotten teeth, with bluish bloodstains between them. I noticed it wasn't red, it was bluish. Terrifying…

I ducked into the cave, and from a distance of about ten feet, tentatively delivered a Hundred-Step Divine Fist, striking it squarely in the chest with a thud. It swayed slightly, completely unharmed…

I was slightly surprised; I hadn't expected it to withstand a palm strike from a hundred years of my internal energy without any damage, only swaying slightly! I was on high alert, no longer daring to underestimate it. I raised my left hand and delivered another palm strike, five hundred years of internal energy—let's see how long it can withstand this. With a boom, a left palm print dented its right chest, clearly denting the armor.

“Awooo—” the zombie king roared at me, its red eyes even redder. It could be angry! It could be angry!! Unlike other zombies, it had emotions! I couldn't believe my discovery. I attacked without hesitation, for it was only a few steps away. I clasped my hands together, drawing a circle, and held them tightly at my dantian. Soon, a small sphere appeared between my palms. The sphere grew larger and larger, from the size of a ping-pong ball to the size of a rubber ball.

"Yaaaaah—take this, Dragon Power Wave!" I roared, pushing forward with both palms. Like a cannon firing, my body jerked backward, and the true energy ball shot out like a cannonball, accompanied by a golden light. Boom—a deafening roar. It struck the stunned Corpse King. Dust billowed as I flew backward, hovering in mid-air, observing the situation inside the cave.

For some reason, the moment I unleashed the Dragon Power Wave, I suddenly lost my usual confidence. I had a vague premonition that the Corpse King could withstand my full-force attack, and once the dust settled, it would reveal…

Chapter 199: Beauties "Around" the Moon

Perhaps humans always harbor a mixture of fear and curiosity towards the unknown. Right now, I'm incredibly curious about this howling zombie king dragging its chains. If I were to convert my palm strike, which used seventy percent of my power, into pounds, it would have a force of fifty thousand pounds. What does fifty thousand pounds mean? Enough to flatten a small mountain.

Yet this unscathed creature, covered only in a thin layer of dust, is completely unharmed, not even a scratch on its chainmail. I'm astonished by the zombie king's incredible defense, and even more covetous of its dark chainmail. In my opinion, the zombie king absolutely couldn't withstand that blow. The only explanation is that dark chainmail. There are countless extraordinary weapons and armor in the world. In the past, I considered myself to possess divine power and disdained those so-called divine weapons. Just think, what in the world could break through the defensive power of my self-created Dragon Force Shield? The tangible yet intangible Dragon Force Sword and Dragon Force Blade, formed from true energy, could hold their own against Gan Jiang and Mo Xie.

But now I truly felt their weakness—extreme consumption of internal energy.

It was precisely this factor that made me, for the first time, covet the protective chainmail on the Corpse King's body. Hmm, look at this armor, how big it is! Even someone not two meters tall would be lucky to wear it. This is it, it's practically custom-made for me. "Excuse me, Brother Corpse King, I wish to borrow your armor for a look."

I muttered to myself, slowly approaching the Corpse King. Fortunately, the Corpse King had some sense and dared not step out of the cave, because another half step forward would be a cliff...

Roar! Roar! Roar!

The Corpse King kept howling, and seeing me getting closer and closer, it even became somewhat agitated.

"Hey, buddy, how about we make a deal? Look, it's the dead of winter and I don't even have a decent coat. Look at you, buddy, so dapper, dressed in all black. How about this, I'll take the loss and trade my white coat for your black one?"

I pretended to take off my long coat, but how could the Corpse King, with its dimwit, understand the subtlety of the trade? Its eyes turned red, revealing sharp fangs, and foul-smelling, bluish-gray saliva dripped incessantly from the corners of its mouth. Even more disgusting, it would occasionally spit out its stinking saliva along with its howls.

I secretly wiped away a bead of sweat. Whew—thank goodness, I have the Dragon Force Shield protecting me…

The Corpse King wasn't stupid either; it swung its hands and used the chains it held to whip me. The wind howled incessantly, but unfortunately, the chains were too short, less than two meters long, and couldn't reach me, who was a good four meters away.

The Corpse King was like a loyal guardian protecting its territory, tirelessly wielding its steel chains. Seeing my chance, I grabbed the chain and yanked hard. The Corpse King, weaker than me, stumbled, lost its footing, and fell straight down.

Bang! A loud crash. I couldn't bear to look at its gruesome sight, so I closed my eyes. I thought to myself, "Now you're dead!" Hehe, Armor, Armor, I love you, like a mouse loves rice…

I hummed, slowly flying towards the ground. There, I saw a large, V-shaped crater; the Corpse King was gone. This was a forest, visibility extremely limited, and it was the dead of night. Where could I possibly find the Corpse King? I thought the Corpse King's escape through the forest would make some noise, but when I activated my Heavenly Vision and Earthly Hearing Technique, all was silent. The entire forest was completely still, except for the chirping of night insects…

“No way! My precious armor…” I cried out, heartbroken over the armor I hadn't obtained. “Sigh, oh well, what's meant to be will be, and what's not meant to be shouldn't be forced. Ah! Yibai and the others must be getting impatient. I should get them out first.” Before the words were finished, I had already leaped into the cave, unaware that a pair of blood-red, hateful eyes were staring at me from the eerie forest behind me…

※※※※

“You brat, why are you so late?” Gu Yibai gave me a sharp rap on the head in front of everyone. "Hey, Yibai, I'm a man, you have to give me some face."

"Face? Only adults have face, you little brat, what face do you have?"

The women covered their mouths and chuckled, their anxious and apprehensive mood from before completely gone, replaced by joy and peace. Yes, men are the backbone of women!

"Tell me! Why did it take you so long to come back?" Gu Yibai didn't know what was wrong with her; I'd only been gone for an hour, was it really necessary to be so anxious?

"Well, let's talk as we go. I've found the exit, come on, let's get out of this hellhole as soon as possible." As I spoke, I picked up the unconscious Nonomiya Tamayo and led the way into the cave.

"Yay! Finally, we can get out!" Elizabeth skipped and jumped like a little girl.

Mena's shoulders relaxed, and she helped Elizabeth follow me into the cave. Behind them, Gu Yibai carried Xiaoyezi, Zhou Wannian supported her daughter Zhou Xiaomei, Fina was second to last, and Miyamoto Yui brought up the rear. The women were overjoyed, as if celebrating a festival.

On the way, I told the women what had happened. This only made them tense again. Elizabeth clung to my arm, her little hands trembling. "Xu sir, I, I'm a little scared."

Mena nodded dramatically, not to mention the timid Zhou Xiaomei, whose face had already turned pale.

"What's there to be afraid of? I've already wiped them all out. Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm your husband. With your husband here, what is there to be afraid of?"

Although she said that, women are naturally afraid of the unknown.

"How about this, if you're scared, everyone cover your eyes. I think we're almost at the cave entrance, and it really doesn't look good there!" The passage near the cave entrance was not just "not good," it was a living hell, a scene of bloodshed and carnage. The foul-smelling, bluish-green bodily fluids were everywhere. If I hadn't had the foresight to clean it up beforehand, I wouldn't have dared to lead them down this path.

Women are all timid; among the group, only Miyamoto Yui and Gu Yibai, who had experienced the harsh realities of life and the ways of the world, weren't blindfolded. "Yibai, why aren't you blindfolded?"

"When I was traveling the world with your father, what storms hadn't I weathered?" Gu Yibai's casual remark left me speechless. Yes, no matter what, she still had feelings for my father, who left me before I was even born. Even after more than a decade, this feeling was still Gu Yibai's first love.

People always cherish their first love, just like me. Although I'm always surrounded by women, I often think of two women. One is "Fifteenth Sister," Miao Meiling, who made me a real man; the other is my "first love," Lin Lan.

In this year, I've only met Miao Meiling once, and that was deep within the palace. With Wu Zetian's abilities, Miao Meiling and the others must be free by now. Sigh, once things are settled in Japan, I must hurry back to see them.

Lin Lan, my beloved, you must miss me terribly after so many days without seeing me. I wonder if she's gained or lost weight; I think she must be thinner. I smiled bitterly.

Thinking of my own women back in the Great Zhou, which one of them doesn't I worry about? Sometimes I feel exhausted myself. Only a year since leaving the valley, running around everywhere, crossing oceans and seas, I'm now miles from Xiaoyao Valley. I don't know when I'll be able to live that carefree life again.

Mother, you must be having a hard time in Xiaoyao Valley. Without me playing around with you every day, you must have lost weight!

Thinking about this, my eyes welled up with tears. My hatred for those Japanese who captured Ming Yu'er and the others intensified. If you make my life difficult, I won't let you live in peace either. Just you wait and see!

Gu Yibai sensed something was amiss. He wondered if his earlier words had caused his son to overthink things. "Oh, my 'son'... what can I say to him?

" he thought. "Xiao Zheng, don't overthink it. I didn't mean anything by it."

Unfortunately, I was currently lost in deep longing and hadn't considered the hidden meaning behind her words. Normally, I would have recognized that Gu Yibai's words were a mix of confession and explanation.

Normally, I would have jumped for joy, but now I simply shook my head and remained silent.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward. Gu Yibai opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a single word. Was she, a woman, supposed to say, "Xiao Zheng, your father and I have no feelings for each other anymore?" How could she utter such words, which would be seen by the world as infidelity and betrayal of her husband? Even in private, when only facing Xu Zhengqi, she dared not say it, for she feared he would look down on her and mistakenly believe she was a promiscuous and unfaithful woman.

Poor protagonist, unaware that he had unintentionally missed the best opportunity to win her heart, a mistake that would lead to countless troubles later—but that's a story for another time. I'll leave that for now.

Xu Zhengqi led a group of beauties out of the cave. Upon reaching the entrance, although there was a slight odor, he had cleaned it, and the ground was much cleaner. The beauties removed their blindfolds and cheered.

"Oh, we're finally out!" Elizabeth clapped her hands and jumped up and down. Mena, terrified, gripped her arm tightly, afraid she would leap off the cliff.

"That damned place, I'll never come back!" Fina, acting like a boss, seemed to have forgotten her role as a maid.

"Mother, are we really out?" Zhou Xiaomei looked up in disbelief at the bright full moon hanging high in the west.

"Xiaomei, it's true, we're out." Zhou Wanniang lovingly smoothed her daughter's long hair; in her eyes, her daughter was the most beautiful person in the world.

Miyamoto Yui leaned against me. She had suffered that night, guarding and covering the rear, unable to be close to me for several hours. Now that she was free, she couldn't resist bringing her delicate, red lips to my face.

"Ahem!" Gu Yibai, watching from the side, felt a pang of inexplicable sadness. Without thinking, she interrupted their intimacy with a cough. "Xiao Zheng, let's hurry downstairs." She immediately regretted it. Oh, Gu Yibai, they're a loving young couple, and she's your "son and daughter-in-law," how could you disturb them?

Miyamoto Yui blushed, burying her head in my arms, unable to look at her nominal mother-in-law. I also coughed lightly, replying, "Yes, let's go down now." I was secretly pleased; was Yibai jealous?

"Yibai, Lily, Mena, you go first, I'll take you down." I gently pushed Miyamoto Yui away from me. "Yui, you stay here and protect them. I'll come back up for you later!"

Miyamoto Yui nodded obediently. That's the good thing about Japanese women—absolute obedience to their husbands. If you tell her to go east, she'll never go west.

The women couldn't wait any longer. Elizabeth and Mena immediately clung to me. I set Nonomiya Tamayo aside, holding Mena with my left arm and Gu Yibai with my right. The somewhat mischievous foreign princess jumped onto my back, affectionately wrapping her arms around my neck.

I shouted, "Hold on tight, we're going down!" and then leaped off the cliff amidst Elizabeth's cheers. This time, the three women showed no fear whatsoever; they were all unusually excited, especially Elizabeth and Mena, who knew nothing of martial arts. It was their first time experiencing the wonderful sensation of flying through the air.

Some resting birds in the forest were awakened by their cheers, and the once quiet forest suddenly became lively.

Unfortunately, this liveliness didn't last long. After a short while, we landed on the ground. Elizabeth refused to come down, insisting that I promise to fly with her for three days and three nights next time before reluctantly letting go.

I affectionately tapped her little head. This little girl was the tallest of all the girls, a good six feet tall, yet her temper was like that of a child. "Lily, I never realized you were so mischievous before,"

Elizabeth said, rubbing her head and pouting. "I used to be too afraid of you to let you know my true nature."

I kissed her cheek tenderly. Sigh, another innocent girl has fallen into the hands of this lecher.

Gu Yibai couldn't help but cough a few more times. I jumped over and, taking advantage of her inattention, sneakily pecked her cheek.

"You, what are you doing?" Gu Yibai was fierce but weak inside. Luckily, my eyesight is amazing; I can see in the dark, otherwise I wouldn't have seen her blushing expression. I didn't answer, saying, "Yibai, be careful down there. The Corpse King also disappeared here. I'm going up to get them, I'll be back soon. Don't worry!"

Hearing my earnest words, Gu Yibai also composed herself, drew her sword, and nodded to me. "Xiaozheng, go quickly, I'll guard here. If anything happens, I'll scream."

I patted the princess and her servants, who had quieted down again, and with a leap, I soared into the sky. Just as I saw Miyamoto Yui's joyful gaze, screams came from below the cliff, along with Gu Yibai's cry, "Xiaozheng!"

"Oh no, something's happened. Yui, be careful too!" I didn't have time to reach Miyamoto Yui and the other women, fearing something might happen to Gu Yibai and the other two, so I shot off like an arrow, twisting in mid-air and plummeting down the cliff.

Before I even reached the bottom, I had already seen the situation on the ground. What I saw made my eyes widen in horror.

To my utter astonishment, the Corpse King had already injured Gu Yibai the instant I left his grasp. Her sword flew from her hand, landing three zhang away. She collapsed to the ground, her face deathly pale, a dark palm print on her right shoulder, blood still trickling from the corner of her mouth.

Elizabeth and her servant huddled together in terror, falling to the ground. The Corpse King leaped forward, about to pounce on the defenseless Princess Zhu Pu.

In the blink of an eye

, I was filled with rage, wishing I could tear the Corpse King to pieces. Golden light flashed several times in my right hand, and a four-foot-long sword appeared in my palm. I shouted, "You're courting death! I'll kill you!" The Dragon Force Blade flew through the air, its blade energy seemingly capable of shattering the void, like a laser beam, leaving the hand of someone still four zhang away from the Corpse King.

Whoosh! A strange sound of air being torn apart! Boom!

It struck the Corpse King squarely on the right rib.

"Agh!" The Corpse King let out a miserable cry. Although the attack hadn't cleaved it in two, it had still severely injured it. The immense force sent it tumbling to the side, falling a good five zhang away.

I couldn't care less about killing the Corpse King; my heart was burning with anxiety. I rushed to Gu Yibai's side, raised my hand to her wrist, and channeled a powerful surge of dragon energy from my left palm to expel the poison and heal her wounds!

Gu Yibai was on the verge of death, her breath faint. Her inner energy had been completely dissipated by the Corpse King's palm strike. Furthermore, the Corpse King's palm carried a potent corpse poison; her right shoulder, where she had been struck, was now a blackened, bloody mess, a gruesome sight.

Tears welled in my eyes as I warily watched the forest where the Corpse King had fallen five zhang away, desperately channeling all my remaining strength, determined to snatch Gu Yibai from the clutches of death.

Gu Yibai continued to vomit blood, her face growing paler and paler until she was completely deathly pale. She was in a daze, and if she hadn't cried for help just before being ambushed, her injuries wouldn't have been so severe. I regret it so much now. Why was I so greedy for that armor? If I had torn the Corpse King to pieces, this tragedy wouldn't have happened.

Elizabeth and her maid helped each other to our side. The two women looked pale and were sobbing, repeatedly saying, "It's all my fault, it's all my fault. I'm the one who hurt Sister Gu."

On the cliff above, Miyamoto Yui kept calling out, "Xiaozheng, Sister Gu, what happened to you?"

"Lily, say something!" Her voice was already choked with sobs.

My heart was ashen; I was solely focused on healing Gu Yibai, and had no mind to respond to the cries of Miyamoto Yui and the others on the cliff. Fortunately, Mena responded a few times, but dared not reveal the truth, fearing that the women on the cliff would worry, and things would become even more chaotic.

Long Li overcame numerous obstacles, and the corpse poison was quickly cleared from her body. However, the Corpse King's poisonous palm strike had displaced Gu Yibai's internal organs, causing her to break out in a cold sweat and remain unconscious; her condition was extremely critical. I carefully channeled Long Li into her body. You must know that injuries from displaced internal organs can range from minor to serious, but there is one thing the healer must be careful about. The healer cannot afford the slightest mistake during the healing process; one slip could lead to eternal regret.

I held Gu Yibai's fragile internal organs as carefully as if they were a porcelain doll. The dragon's power flowed endlessly...

Just when I thought I was about to succeed, Gu Yibai suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood. I desperately tried to channel the dragon's power into her body, but I suddenly realized that there was no more dragon's power to channel. Her body was completely empty...

Chapter 200 The Princess Loses

Her Virginity The princess's loss of virginity was like a bolt from the blue! Heavens! At that moment, I was completely stunned!

How could I stop using my power at such a critical moment?

I possess two thousand years of internal energy, yet at this crucial moment of saving someone, I was utterly powerless. Gu Yibai's internal organs, stimulated by this, shifted and became stuck, which could have killed her! I wanted to cry but had no tears, and cried out in anguish, "No!"

Gu Yibai spat out her last mouthful of blood, and her pale, bloodless face suddenly showed a slight smile. I knew it was a final burst of energy before death. She slowly opened her eyes, her lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something. I desperately tried to summon even a trace of internal energy from my body, but it was all in vain. I could only press my ear to her lips, listening to her dying words.

"Xiao...Zheng...Never mind, I...I've had a hard life since childhood, and...from now on...I can't go back to...Xiaoyao...Valley...with you anymore. Xiao Zheng...actually...I...really...love..."

The word "you" was no longer audible.

Her voice faded into inaudibility. I was heartbroken. Although I finally knew her true feelings, I could only cry out, "Yi Bai, I love you, please don't leave me, please, don't leave me!" A trace of color returned to Gu Yi Bai's pale face, a hint of comfort in her eyes. Blood stained a large patch of her clothes at the chest. Blood and tenderness, in that instant, were eerily unified, tragically beautiful.

I wept bitterly, my cries echoing across the land. Elizabeth and her servant were stunned by this sudden blow. When they came to their senses, they could only cling to me, weeping uncontrollably. Gu Yi Bai's eyes grew increasingly unfocused, and suddenly everything went black. She could no longer see her beloved man. Only the cries of the man and woman faded into the distance.

With her last ounce of strength, she formed the shape of the Chinese character for "lips." The instant before her, her cold, bloodless lips were sealed by a thick, warm mouth.

A thunderclap suddenly erupted in the clear, starry sky, lightning flashing and turning night into day, illuminating the two lovers, one alive and one dead. Even the heavens seemed to be wrathful at their separation by death!

Gu Yibai, shy and hesitant, smiled and went…

The feeling on my lips grew colder and colder, but I dared not leave her. Yibai, you can't go! You still have to be my bride! If you leave, who will be my bride? I cried out in my heart, tears streaming down my cheeks onto Gu Yibai's pale face, then flowing down her cheeks, dripping onto the ground, disappearing…

“Roar!”

I roared to the heavens, suddenly standing up, my hair and beard bristling, my muscles bulging, tearing my clothes. "I'll kill you!" Though my inner strength was gone, my physical power remained. A surge of violent energy filled my chest, urging me to unleash it! Like a cheetah, I charged into the forest, kicking up dust and flying stones.

Birds took flight in fright, ancient trees trembled, and heart-wrenching cries of agony echoed through the woods. "Why?" "Why?" The ancient trees trembled even more violently, each thud seeming to strike the very heart of the forest.

"Xu Lang, what's wrong? What happened?"

"Speak up! Sister Gu, Lily, Mena!"

Anxious female voices came from the cliff. The beauties, including Miyamoto Yui, still in the cave, were unaware of what was happening below. But hearing the man's mournful cries, a sense of foreboding crept into their hearts. They involuntarily called out, but all they heard below were cries and the thuds of ancient trees being struck.

Elizabeth wept uncontrollably. Mena, her maid, was deeply grieving for her mistress, yet still retained a sliver of reason. After a while, a sudden thought struck her, and she screamed, "Ice Spell!"

A gust of wind rushed in with the sound, carrying a tall figure.

"What did you just say? Say it again!"

"Ice Spell, the Ice Spell of the Church of Om! It guarantees survival! It buys time to find a cure!"

Mena spoke with exceptional clarity, without a single pause.

Yes, the Om's magic! I frantically reached into my robes. Good heavens, it wasn't there!

Wait, calm down, I need to calm down! I slowly recalled, from finding the magic spell in the Om's secret cave until just now, when did I lose it?

Yes, it must have been when I tore my clothes during my frenzy. Without another word, under Mena's questioning gaze, I rushed back into the forest. However, this time he came out quite quickly. The man rushed back like a gust of wind, carrying a book-like object.

I squatted down next to Gu Yibai and reached out to check his heart. Thankfully, it was still faintly beating. I quickly flipped through the book, and the first three words I saw were "Ice Freezing Technique." There was a brief introduction at the beginning, but I was in a great hurry and had no time to read it. I skimmed through the pages. By the time I finished reading half of the book about the Ice Freezing Technique, less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea had passed.

I immediately sat up cross-legged, closed my eyes, and began meditating, trying to recover some of my internal energy.

The Ice Freezing Technique was truly a miraculous art, capable of bringing the dead back to life and healing bones.

The so-called Ice Freezing Technique didn't necessarily require any ancient ice or anything like that. In fact, it was very simple. It only required converting a hundred years' worth of internal energy into icy true energy using a special method, releasing it all at once, and then applying it to the frozen person. The instantaneous release of a century's worth of internal energy can stabilize the body temperature of the person being frozen at below -200 degrees Celsius within a very small area. All bodily functions, good or bad, are frozen in that instant. Even those on the verge of death can retain a tiny sliver of life force for a moment, awaiting further treatment.

Although simple, this technique is extremely dangerous for the caster. First, there are very few people in the world with over a century's worth of internal energy. Although the Aomu Cult has some individuals with over a century's worth of energy, no one would be willing to use their centuries of painstakingly cultivated power on a stranger. Therefore, most books on immortal arts record methods that utilize external objects to achieve freezing, such as ten-thousand-year-old ice.

But this information is not a life-saving remedy for me now. I desperately circulated my internal energy, trying to regain even a little bit of true energy. Perhaps it's a case of "it's not my problem, but when it is, I panic," because I completely forgot the best way to restore my internal energy.

Fortunately, there was someone else present who was more level-headed and reminded me.

"Mr. Xu, didn't you say you recover faster with a woman?" Mena suddenly spoke up. Although the man hadn't told her this, she had lived by his side for quite some time and vaguely guessed that his skills were extraordinary.

I opened my eyes wide and slapped myself hard. Stupid, utterly stupid. I pulled Mena closer. This foreign beauty and I had only been intimate once; normally I would never have been so polite. But out of gratitude for her reminder, I unusually asked her,

"Are you willing?"

Mena nodded firmly, "I do."

Elizabeth stared in astonishment at the couple embracing, skipping all foreplay and heading straight for the main event. Her eyes widened, and she rubbed them frantically, almost unable to believe her eyes. What kind of time was this? They, they actually had the mood for that!

The princess, filled with shame and anger, rushed to the man and woman, forcefully pulling them apart, "What are you doing? Is this the time for this?" She questioned the man, assuming Mena was forced into it, but she hadn't expected it to be the woman who was trying to persuade her.

Mena turned her blushing face away, panting heavily, her lower body responding to the man's powerful thrusts. "Princess, Princess, I'm helping Mr. Xu recover his inner strength. Only in this way can we save Miss Gu in time!"

Elizabeth's good intentions had backfired, and she lowered her head in embarrassment, turning away, her small hands constantly fidgeting with her clothes, like a timid wife who had done something wrong, afraid that the man would scold her.

"Yes, I'm sorry, I... I didn't know..."

I ignored her, and I wasn't angry. I didn't have time; time was life, time was Yi Bai's life. I didn't even feel any enjoyment; even my massive member was throbbing with hidden force. I thrust between Mena's plump buttocks, holding her tightly with both hands. The speed of my thrusts was entirely for recovering my inner strength and healing Yi Bai.

True energy slowly emerged from the point of our union; the internal energy recovery technique of the Nine Heavens Imperial Concubine Technique was indeed extraordinary. Mena was extremely beautiful, and although I had already taken her virginity, she still possessed a considerable amount of yin energy. However, her passage was exceptionally narrow, and Mena endured every movement with gritted teeth.

Five minutes, just five minutes, Mena screamed, reaching her second orgasm. Her essence gushed out, and before it even flowed out, it was already transformed into true energy by my weak dragon power, then slowly forced into her body through my dragon stem.

Fifty years, just fifty years. A virgin is no longer a virgin; no matter how strong her yin energy, it can't surpass that of a virgin. Mena used all her skills, but she could only restore less than fifty years of my inner strength. She slumped against me, her body limp and powerless. Sweat soaked her entire body, wetting her clothes, and a gust of north wind made her shiver involuntarily.

After lovemaking, a woman's body is extremely weak after the extreme pleasure, making her most vulnerable to illness and unable to withstand even the slightest chill. Although I was anxious, I wasn't entirely heartless; I transferred some of her precious inner energy into her body, temporarily relieving her of any serious problems.

"Lily, you must help me!" I reached out and channeled ten years of my inner energy to protect Gu Yibai's heart meridian. Now, only Elizabeth could help me. With my current strength, I couldn't fly to find other women; here, only a virgin, Princess Elizabeth, could help me.

Elizabeth, with her back to the two, knew it was over when she heard Mena's scream. A hint of jealousy lingered in her heart; she thought to herself, "Stupid man, why didn't he come to me first? Why did he go to a maid? Do you look down on me?"

Just then, she heard the man's call. She longed to turn around and throw herself into his broad embrace, to savor the most wonderful moment of her life. Although she was Dutch and had very open views on sex, she feared her beloved would misunderstand her as a promiscuous person. Furthermore, having spent so much time with Gu Yibai, she had absorbed a lot of the ideas of women from the Great Zhou Dynasty. In her heart, she already considered herself a woman of the Great Zhou, so she demanded of herself in every way to be a true Great Zhou woman.

Naturally, she had also learned the Great Zhou woman's lack of initiative.

"What's wrong? Don't you agree?" I was a little angry. A life was at stake, especially since the injured person was Gu Yibai, whom I had lived with for over ten years, someone I considered like a mother. Even if Elizabeth disagreed, I was prepared to force myself on her.

Elizabeth understood the man's reproach and cursed herself. What kind of time was this to act like a woman from the Great Zhou?

She turned and buried her face in his arms. "Love me, Xu Lang," she cried, "I love you no matter what. Really, I love you."

Lily's passionate call calmed my anger considerably. I kissed her tenderly, my hands already caressing her full, high breasts. Western women have rough skin, but the only thing that women from the Great Zhou couldn't match was her hips and breasts.

Although she was a princess, Lily's breasts were no smaller than Mena's, but rather more impressive. With a gentle touch, Elizabeth let out a soft moan, her eyes glazed, her breath sweet, her lips slightly parted, her bright red tongue darting out to meet mine.

I hastily pulled down her trousers, my legs slipping between her thighs, my weapon poised to thrust!

The aphrodisiac energy was extremely domineering; in just a few touches, Peach Blossom Spring was already a muddy mess. Princess Elizabeth nodded gently, "I love you! Come, my love! I love you!" *Whoosh*...

The spear pierced through a thin barrier, penetrating deep into the woman's body.

"Oh—," Elizabeth's head jerked back, her whole body tensing, her fair neck flushed crimson. "Ah!" A virgin's scream, unusually loud, followed by the calls of Miyamoto Yui and the other beauties from above. However, this familiar sound brought them some comfort for a moment; clearly, it was the sound of moaning. If the woman was moaning, what was the man doing?

Although Miyamoto Yui and the other women cursed under their breath—what time was it? They were having sex in the middle of nowhere, it was worrying them terribly—they also breathed a sigh of relief, vaguely knowing that things had improved down the cliff.

Up there, the women enjoyed a free bout of erotic moaning, while the battle below was exceptionally intense.

The cold air on the icy ground grew increasingly biting. Mena, jolted awake by the cold, hastily straightened her clothes and dragged Gu Yibai to a pile of dry grass. Holding her icy body, she tried to warm her almost departing soul with her own body heat.

I held Princess Elizabeth in my arms; she was like an octopus, her slender arms wrapped around my neck, her long legs entwined around my waist, her chest thrusting and waist swaying—her welcoming demeanor was nothing like that of a newly deflowered virgin. What a wild woman, what a wild foreign woman. Elizabeth was naturally large-boned, standing at 1.8 meters tall, and her long-term exercise had strengthened her physique. Perhaps foreign women are born to be formidable in bed; after the initial pain, she disregarded the tearing agony and actively responded to me.

I was overjoyed, thrusting rapidly with loud slapping sounds, the snow-white flesh rippling with each impact. Her enormous breasts bounced up and down with such force that it left one speechless. Her full, firm buttocks were so resilient that my large hand couldn't even grasp one of them, infuriating me so much that I vented my anger in her ecstasy cave.

The more I inhaled, the faster and more abundant my true energy became. I had already refined her virgin blood, yet her primordial yin was so pure and rich; the primordial yin from her virgin blood alone was equivalent to fifty years of cultivation. If she had an orgasm, wouldn't it be even more intense? My worries finally eased slightly. Now, I relaxed my mind and focused all my energy on this strange battle.

"Xu Lang, I, I love you!"

"Fuck me! Fuck me! Oh, yes! Yes!" Elizabeth babbled incoherently, even uttering her mother tongue in her ecstasy.

Under the cold moonlight, a strange scene unfolded: amidst the crisp sounds of flesh colliding, a woman cried out in ecstasy, sometimes loud, sometimes soft, sometimes high, sometimes low. The man's roar and the woman's ecstatic cries ended with a high-pitched scream. A golden light flashed at the point where the two were joined.

Ah—, Elizabeth's limbs convulsed, her eyes rolled back, her head tilted back as far as she could, her beautiful red hair cascading down her waist. Her virgin yin energy struck the man's massive member, first transforming into a stream of true energy, then being absorbed into the man's body and converted into dragon power true energy.

"Success!" I cheered, embracing the princess and handing her, still immersed in the afterglow of her climax, to Mena. "Poof!" I withdrew from the princess's body, Elizabeth frowning, seemingly extremely reluctant. Then she realized where she was, and reason returned; saving lives was paramount, so she could only hold Mena tightly. The two women treated each other like men, clinging to each other.

Without even putting on my pants, I was dragged straight to Gu Yibai's side. At this moment, I possessed 150 years of internal energy, enough to cast a freezing spell. I reached out and used my inner vision to check Yibai's injuries. Fortunately, her heart meridian wasn't broken, and her heart was still beating slightly. But even if I fully recovered my power, I dared not casually use my energy to heal her.

The timing was wrong, the place was wrong, the environment was wrong, the conditions were all wrong.

I had to freeze her first, and then wait until my power recovered before treating her in a quiet environment. That situation must never happen again—my true energy flow was interrupted while I was healing.

Thinking about it briefly, I realized why my true energy had been depleted. All night long, I fought traps, zombies, and the Corpse King. Especially that Corpse King with its abnormally strong defense; I used all my strength several times. Particularly when the Corpse King lunged at Elizabeth and her servant, I exerted all my power, almost exhausting all my inner strength.

I sent the Corpse King flying five zhang away; clearly, it was severely injured. Taking advantage of my healing of Gu Yibai, it escaped. But it caused me great trouble. Upon seeing Yibai injured, I panicked, lost all reason, and didn't realize how weak my true energy was. In the end, I failed miserably, almost costing Yibai her life.

My eyes reddened as I stroked Yibai's pale, almost lifeless face, secretly thinking about how to release the dragon power into her body instantly. One hundred and fifty years of internal energy had been transformed into icy true energy during my movements. I practiced pure yang internal energy and consumed all the most yang substances in the world, making my yang true energy extremely abundant. The sudden transformation of pure yang true energy into icy true energy was something even my strong body couldn't withstand.

I took a deep breath and positioned Gu Yibai in a meditation posture. I sat down beside her, pressing one hand on her back acupoint and the other on her chest acupoint. My internal energy surged, ready to burst forth, but I forced it back inside, not quite exploding, not quite exploding—I wanted the explosive force of that moment. Only by minimizing the freezing time could the freezing technique have a higher success rate.

"Hah!" I exhaled, and the true energy burst out of my body, flowing through my hands and into Gu Yibai's body…

Chapter 201 Ming Yu'er

Gu Yibai trembled slightly, her body instantly covered in frost. Elizabeth and her servant saw only a blur before Gu Yibai became an ice statue. She stood there like an ice sculpture, her clothes torn to shreds by her inner energy, completely naked, a true "Ice Beauty"!

I slowly opened my eyes, exhaled a breath of stale air, and stared intently at Gu Yibai's pretty face. A tear had somehow appeared on her left cheek, frozen in place, adding to her tragic beauty. I was mesmerized.

Elizabeth, disregarding her clothes, threw herself at me, asking anxiously, "Xu Lang, how is Sister Gu... how is she?" I remained silent, lost in thought. Elizabeth burst into tears, her tears soaking my clothes. A gust of north wind brought a chill that jolted me awake.

"Uh, Lily, why are you crying?" I gently wiped the tears from her face.

"Waaah... Sister Gu is gone just like that, how can I not cry... waaah..."

Elizabeth's crying only made Mena weep too.

"Who said Yibai went?" I scratched my head. This woman's imagination was too rich.

"Uh!" Elizabeth suddenly raised her pretty face, tears still visible on her cheeks. "Sister Gu isn't dead?"

"No, she's just frozen solid by my ice magic." A weight lifted from my heart, and my tone became much lighter.

"I know, you bad boy! Then why did you look like your wife had died just now, making me cry for nothing!" Elizabeth's pretty face was angry; she had misunderstood.

"Uh, oh, I saw Yibai crying, and for a moment I remembered the past, so I involuntarily spaced out for a while." I pinched her cute, high nose, and Elizabeth slapped my hand away, scolding, "You're so bad! You made me worry. Don't do that again, you hear me?"

"Yes, yes, my good wife, I'll listen to you from now on."

"That's more like it." Elizabeth winked at Mena triumphantly, secretly making a V-sign with her little hand. I pretended not to see, after all, "it's good to be oblivious."

Mena smiled slightly, glancing at the man intentionally or unintentionally.

"Alright, baby, be good, come down first. Miyamoto and the others are still waiting for me up there. I need to meditate and practice my skills for a while!" Elizabeth was also obedient, reluctantly leaving the man's warm embrace.

From above, Miyamoto Yui's voice called out again: "Xu Lang, what happened? Say something!"

I shouted at the top of my lungs: "It's nothing—you guys stay up there for a little while longer, I'll come back for you in a bit."

"Xu Lang, are you really alright?"

"No, don't worry. I'll be back in half an hour! Be good!"

"Okay, be good, hurry up."

"Okay, you guys be careful too!"

...

Half an hour later.

Miyamoto Yui, Zhou Wan Niang, Zhou Xiao Mei, Nonomiya Tamayo, and Sayoko were all brought down by me. Upon seeing Gu Yibai, who had become a human ice sculpture, the women's expressions changed drastically, and they hurriedly asked what had happened.

I recounted with heavy heart what had happened at the foot of the cliff.

In the towns and countryside, the Japanese army was searching for us everywhere. Gu Yibai absolutely could not be disturbed any longer. We all agreed to find a cave in the forest to stay for a day or two until I fully recovered.

In the cave,

Miyamoto Yui, blushing, nestled close to me and whispered, "Xu Lang, do...do you need my help?"

I pretended not to know. "Help? Help with what?"

Miyamoto Yui, embarrassed and angry, raised her small fist and punched me twice. "Hmph, you know, you lecherous scoundrel, you knew perfectly well but still made me say it." I chuckled, grabbed her small hand, and kissed it. "My dear, this time is different. My meridians are severely damaged, and I must meditate for three days to rebuild them."

Miyamoto Yui was startled and sat up abruptly. "Does that mean I won't hear your voice for several days?" Her words revealed deep reluctance.

I lovingly stroked her long black hair. "Silly girl, it's not like you'll never see me again. Listen to me, everyone's safety is in your hands. Especially my life is in your hands now, so don't be careless."

Hearing this, the women all gathered around me, and I repeated myself.

Elizabeth, having tasted the sweetness of womanhood for the first time, was even more reluctant to part with it than Miyamoto Yui. But the beauties were all sensible; they simply placed their hearts on men, burying their affections deep within, and even advised me to go into seclusion and cultivate.

※※※※

Let's turn back time.

It is said that the seven women—Ming Yu'er, Mei Ruosu, Ximen Baixue, Murong Hong, Bai Junyi, Gong Yuelan, and Gu Yibai—were on their ship when it was hit by Japanese cannon fire. Amidst the booming cannons, the ship was shattered into pieces. The women, quick-witted, jumped into the sea first. Unfortunately, they still couldn't escape their fate of being captured.

Six women, soaking wet, except for Gu Yibai, were all prisoners of the Japanese pirates. Having heard of the pirates' insatiable lewdness, the six women planned to bite their tongues and commit suicide upon capture. Little did they expect that the damned lecherous demon, Yipinxiang, had already administered a numbing drug, leaving them utterly powerless, unable even to open their mouths.

Yipinxiang was a lewd, middle-aged man, short and ugly as a pig. He was also extremely obese, his belly three times larger than that of a woman in her tenth month of pregnancy.

"Hehehe, beauties of unparalleled grace, beauties that could make fish sink and geese fall from the sky… six at once! Hahaha, how could I, Yipinxiang, let such beauties pass me by in my lifetime?" Yipinxiang lewdly stretched out his dark, fleshy hand, about to grab Ming Yu'er's noble breasts.

"Stop! Lord Yipin, you haven't forgotten our agreement, have you?" A six-foot-tall, muscular Japanese man stepped forward, stopping Yipinxiang's lewd scheme.

Yi Pinxiang was slightly annoyed, but upon looking up, his expression immediately changed. He smiled, his two chubby cheeks bulging, and opened his foul mouth: "So it's the Crown Prince! My apologies, my apologies! Please don't take offense, Crown Prince."

The burly Japanese man addressed as "Crown Prince" remained expressionless, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Yi Pinxiang, you're quite robust. Weren't the five beauties last night enough for you?" As he spoke, he had already moved in front of Yi Pinxiang, intentionally or unintentionally blocking Yi Pinxiang's view of Ming Yu'er and the others.

Yi Pinxiang was slightly displeased, but this Crown Prince was Tokugawa Ieyasu's eldest son, the future ruler of the Tokugawa Shogunate, and the future de facto owner of Japan. With so many titles, Yi Pinxiang couldn't afford to be intimidated; his future wealth and glory depended on this Crown Prince.

Clearly, with the beauty of Ming Yu'er and her six women, how could they not attract attention? Especially now, with the six women, Ming Yu'er and Yi Pinxiang, soaked to the bone, their wet clothes clinging to their alluring bodies, their curves and breasts combined with their stunning figures, what man present could possibly ignore them?

"You're too kind, too kind. It's windy here. Why don't you come inside with me for a cup of tea to warm up, Your Excellency?" Without waiting for Yi Pinxiang's consent, he forcefully dragged him towards the inner cabin. Before leaving, the Crown Prince gave his trusted subordinate a meaningful look. The subordinate nodded in understanding.

Yi Pinxiang glanced longingly at the six women, sighing inwardly, "Alas, it seems I have no chance. This lecherous Crown Prince will never let me get my hands on them."

The subordinate had served the Crown Prince for twenty years; how could he not know what his master was thinking? He immediately dismissed the soldiers and arranged for several comfort women accompanying the army to carry the six women into the cabin, taking care of them.

The six women, Ming Yu'er and Yi Pinxiang, were filled with shame and anxiety. When they saw Yi Pinxiang reach out to humiliate Ming Yu'er, they could no longer withstand the shock and all fainted. When they awoke, it was already dark.

Ming Yu'er was startled and tried to sit up, only to find herself strapped to the bed, her limbs bound, and a handkerchief gagged to prevent her from biting her tongue and committing suicide. Ming Yu'er remembered everything, and a chill ran through her. Had she been...?

Her clothes had obviously been changed. It was all over; her carefully guarded chastity was gone!

Ironically, she had only experienced sexual intercourse once in her life, and that time was also while she was unconscious, when Xu Zhengqi had sexual intercourse with her. Ming Yu'er was completely ignorant about sex. She had lost her mother at a young age and was rigid and conservative. She never discussed bedroom matters with her sisters, so even in her thirties, she still didn't know what love between men and women was.

She had already experienced it in Xiaoyao Valley, but her mind was hazy; she only vaguely felt some pleasure, but didn't truly understand the nature of matters between men and women. For example, she didn't even dare look at five-year-old Xu Zhengqi. Of course, she only looked at his little penis.

Because her knowledge of the male body was almost nonexistent, Ming Yu'er now believed that her innocent body had been defiled by that lecherous demon, Yipinxiang. She felt a surge of suicidal thoughts, feeling guilty towards her husband, Xu Batian, and even more so towards her "son," Xu Zhengqi. Tears streamed down her cheeks, and before she knew it, she had fainted again…

When Ming Yu'er awoke again, it was already broad daylight, the fiery red sunrise rising from the east, the blue sea and sky clear and cloudless. A ray of sunlight shone on Ming Yu'er, warm and comforting. Although her body was warm, her heart was even colder.

She came from a wealthy family, from the renowned Mingjian Manor, one of the most prestigious manors in the martial arts world. Back then, her ancestors were among the top swordsmen in the martial arts world, the famous swordsmen! By her generation, the family's martial arts had declined. To revive the former reputation of Mingjian Manor in the martial world, her father bribed the Grand Eunuch of the Imperial Palace, intending to marry Ming Yu'er to the Emperor Zhengde as Empress.

Ming Yu'er was once the most beautiful woman in the martial world; though physically weak, her beauty was renowned throughout the land. Sure enough, when Ming Yu'er's portrait was presented to Empress Dowager Zhang, she immediately approved. Ming Yu'er was stunningly beautiful, well-mannered, and of good birth—the perfect candidate for Empress.

Empress Dowager Zhang immediately dispatched a wedding procession to bring Ming Yu'er from Mingjian Manor to the Forbidden City. However, when the procession arrived at Mingjian Manor, all they found was a pile of burned ruins.

Years ago, the infamous "Nine Demons" joined forces to breach the renowned Sword Manor, a place that shook the martial arts world. Sixteen-year-old Ming Yu'er was safely escaped through a secret passage by her nanny. From then on, the two defenseless women, one old and one young, were adrift in the martial world .

Beauty can be a curse!

One day, Ming Yu'er inadvertently revealed her true face in public, attracting the attention of several martial arts villains. Just as she was about to be violated, Xu Batian, the father of Xu Zhengqi, descended from the sky. A classic case of a hero rescuing a damsel in distress, Ming

Yu'er's heart was instantly captured by Xu Batian. Xu Batian was quite famous in the martial arts world at the time, the dream lover of many young girls. However, he was too honest and lacked romantic understanding; the women around him only came to him by chance. Like Ming Yu'er, there were four or five women who had been rescued by heroes.

Ming Yu'er never showed her emotions; although she harbored feelings for Xu Batian, she never confessed them. She only wanted a powerful backer in this chaotic world to avenge her family, and the young, handsome, and highly skilled Xu Batian could fulfill her dream.

Xu Batian hated evil as if it were his enemy, and he also harbored a deep hatred for the "Nine Demons," so the two hit it off immediately. Therefore, when Xu Batian married nineteen wives, Ming Yu'er, as the first wife, didn't say a word. It was normal for a man to have multiple wives and concubines, especially for Ming Yu'er, who had received such a strict upbringing in the palace.

Ming Yu'er was sensible, broad-minded, and didn't have the petty faults of ordinary women. Therefore, Xu Batian's wives unanimously elected her as the first wife. She thought she could spend her life in happiness, but unexpectedly, Xu Batian disappeared without a trace, and people in the martial arts world searched for him for more than ten years without any news.

In her grief, Ming Yu'er decided to spend the rest of her life raising Xu Zhengqi. She had had enough of the hardships of the martial arts world and was determined to cultivate Xu Zhengqi into a man of exceptional talent. Unfortunately, fate was unkind. Xu Zhengqi, from a young age, was always brave and mischievous, a natural troublemaker. He had little interest in literature but possessed exceptional talent in martial arts.

All the sisters doted on him, except for Ming Yu'er, who strictly disciplined him, often spanking his little bottom. This led Xu Zhengqi to develop a bad habit: the first thing he did upon seeing Ming Yu'er was to cover his bottom…

The beauties often teased him about this.

Thinking about this, Ming Yu'er found a smile on her face. Yes, besides that brat, who else had she been in contact with most in her life? What was that brat doing now? Would he come to save her?

Alas, what good would it do? She was no longer a virgin, she had no face to see him, what was the point of saving him? She might as well die sooner. Waaah… why was her life, Ming Yu'er's life, so bitter?

Ming Yu'er was lost in thought when she suddenly heard footsteps. Startled, she immediately stopped crying, her large, watery eyes fixed on the doorway. She curled up into a ball, as if to protect herself.

The light at the doorway dimmed, and before the person arrived, a shadow appeared. It was a man, a man's shadow. Ming Yu'er trembled violently, her vision blurred, and she nearly fainted…

To find out what happens to Ming Yu'er, please read the next chapter!

Chapter 202 Ming Yu'er's Troubles

A low, lewd laugh echoed. A short, stout, middle-aged, obese man with a lewd appearance entered through the doorway. Who else could it be but the lecherous Yi Pin Xiang?

"My beauty, the Crown Prince is inspecting the warships right now. Hehehe, he won't be back for at least an hour." Yi Pin Xiang chuckled lewdly, drooling uncontrollably as he looked at the beauty before him.

Ming Yu'er's vision blurred. Oh no, he's here again! What to do? What to do?

Yi Pin Xiang leaped to Ming Yu'er's bedside, his small, rat-like eyes gleaming with a greenish light. "My beauty, let's see who comes to your rescue today. Haha, I never thought I, Yi Pin Xiang, would get to taste such a delicacy."

Ming Yu'er's heart trembled. Though frightened, she remained conscious. Rescue me? Did he not succeed that day? Did some Crown Prince's man rescue me? So, I'm still a virgin?

For a moment, Ming Yu'er was immersed in a state of surprise and joy. When she learned that her innocence was gone, she felt despair. But when she learned that she was still innocent, it was like finding a new path in the darkness, and Ming Yu'er was filled with boundless hope. But what could she do? How could she overcome the difficulties before her?

The flame of hope that Ming Yu'er had just ignited was extinguished by the cruel reality before her. Now, her power was suppressed, and she had been drugged with a numbing drug. She didn't even have the strength to cry for help. "Beauty is a curse. Is it because God dislikes my beauty that He has arranged such a tragic fate for me?"

Yi Pinxiang leered, but his actions were not slow at all. He quickly untied the ropes binding Ming Yu'er, and his thieving hands were about to reach for Ming Yu'er's large breasts. Unexpectedly, a sinister, low voice suddenly appeared in the room.

"Yipin-jun, don't blame me for not warning you!"

"Who?" Yipinxiang turned around and assumed a defensive stance. Having been interrupted several times, Yipinxiang was already driven by lust and couldn't care less about anything else. "If you have the guts, come out and speak. This demon will take you on."

Ming Yu'er was overjoyed, and then saw a person suddenly emerge from the dark and deserted part of the room. The person wasn't tall, but he was much better than Yipinxiang, who was a level three cripple. The person was dressed in black, with a black face and black eyes. His entire body was covered in black, even the two long and short scabbards at his waist were black. If he hadn't spoken, he really wouldn't have been able to see him.

Yipinxiang was shocked. Although he was a womanizer every night and possessed the art of replenishing yang with yin, and his own power had been cultivated for thirty to fifty years, he never expected that he would not have discovered that there was a ninja hidden in the room.

It must be a Jonin. Yipinxiang thought to himself.

"Who I am is unimportant. What's important is that you, Yipin, shouldn't touch the Crown Prince's woman," the ninja said sinisterly, as if the top-tier expert, the lecherous Yipinxiang, before him was a dead man.

Yipinxiang sensed the tense atmosphere and immediately channeled his inner energy, drawing his iron fan from his waist and pointing it at the black-clad ninja. "Friend, let's settle this. Do you think you can do anything to me?" Yipinxiang's bravado masked his weakness; the other man's concealment was clearly far superior.

The black-clad ninja slowly drew his katana from his left waist, gripping it tightly with both hands, and shouted, "The only consequence of disobeying the Crown Prince is death!" The blade flashed, a white light slashing towards Yipinxiang's face. A

sword-drawing technique!

The highest level of swordsmanship for a Jonin!

Yipinxiang was shocked. His cold iron fan, made of millennia-old cold iron, retreated instead of advancing, attempting to block the attack. But, only halfway extended, a small section of the blade's tip appeared near his left chest, close to his heart. The blade gleamed coldly. Yi Pinxiang stared in disbelief at the blade against his chest, motionless.

*Snap!* The black-clad ninja's blade continued its momentum, cleaving the thousand-year-old cold iron fan, which lacked internal energy, in two. A thin red line appeared on Yi Pinxiang's forehead.

"You…"

Yi Pinxiang couldn't believe he'd been defeated so utterly, before he'd even used his skills!

The black-clad ninja smiled sinisterly. "You Central Plains people are stupid. Have you ever heard of a ninja openly challenging their opponent?"

"Why?"

Yi Pinxiang mumbled, blood spilling from his mouth.

"My lord!"

the black-clad ninja said succinctly.

Suddenly, the blade against his chest vanished. Yi Pinxiang coughed up a mouthful of blood, splattering the black-clad ninja before him. With a thud, Yi Pinxiang's extremely obese body crashed heavily onto the deck, his corpse split in two, intestines spilling out—a gruesome sight.

A dark figure drew his sword and retreated, disappearing back into the shadows.

The black-clad ninja's sinister gaze swept over Ming Yu'er with just one glance, sending chills down her spine.

What a treacherous person, what cruel methods! Ming Yu'er suppressed her churning stomach; she hadn't eaten for over a day, and only a trickle of yellow liquid escaped her lips.

Facing the most beautiful woman in the martial world, Ming Yu'er, the black-clad ninja's gaze remained sinister, devoid of even a hint of lust. He grabbed Ming Yu'er's belt and, without a trace of tenderness, lifted her upside down. Outside, the deck was deserted. Ming Yu'er's vision went black as the black-clad ninja led her into a pitch-black room.

What was he going to do? Ming Yu'er's heart trembled, fearing a tragic fate was about to befall her.

Thud! Ming Yu'er's graceful body slumped onto a soft couch. There seemed to be someone beside her!

"Ugh!" Ming Yu'er cried out inwardly, but only a faint sound escaped her lips.

The black-clad ninja had vanished without a trace; perhaps he had disappeared into the shadows once more.

The infamous lecherous fiend, Yi Pin Xiang, was dead; compared to him, the black-clad ninja seemed even more sinister and cunning. Ming Yu'er had a constant

, unsettling feeling of being watched, tormenting her to the point of madness. Just as she was on the verge of losing her mind, a sliver of light came from the doorway, growing brighter and brighter. The dark room was suddenly illuminated. Ming Yu'er stared at the strange lantern and immediately realized that lying beside her were her five best friends: Mei Ruosu, Ximen Baixue, Murong Hong, Bai Junyi, and Gong Yuelan! They had been together all along!

The food had arrived!

...

Days passed in this way. First, they were told that if they committed suicide, they would suffer the fate of necrophilia. Then, the six women, weak and limp, were granted limited freedom—limited to this dark room. Although they were constantly under surveillance, living in fear and agony every day, at least the six women were together and hadn't suffered any real harm. Although life was tough, there was still hope. Ming Yu'er, displaying her leader-like demeanor, encouraged the women's somewhat unstable morale. Especially when one day, news suddenly arrived that sent the women into a frenzy of joy…
