Volume 5, Chapter 146: Newlywed Bliss
With a soft moan, after an unknown amount of time, the Holy Mother of the Underworld slowly awoke, lazily stretching, feeling extremely comfortable. Every pore on her body opened, an unprecedented sense of ease. However, her hands lingered...
The blanket, having slipped down to her chest, revealed her bruised breasts, reminding her of the events of the previous night. Her mind went blank...
After a long while, she couldn't help but gently lift the blanket...
She saw patches of blood beneath her hidden paradise and rounded buttocks, and that damned Wu Tianjiao... A crystal-clear face was pressed against her smooth abdomen, sleeping soundly with a smile on his face, as if having a sweet dream…
Looking at Wu Tianjiao sleeping so soundly with his head resting on her abdomen, the Netherworld Mother's body stiffened completely. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe her feelings as utterly disoriented. Her heart was filled with complex emotions—anger, hatred, bitterness, sorrow, grief… a tangled mess of feelings she couldn't describe.
"This lecherous scoundrel, he ruined me!"
Suddenly, a surge of hatred welled up in the Netherworld Mother's heart, her mind went blank, and despite the pain in her lower body, she raised her right hand, intending to end Wu Tianjiao's life.
Her slender jade hand was half-raised in the air; if she were to strike Wu Tianjiao's forehead, his life would be over. But women are wondrous and strange creatures. Despite the Netherworld Mother's intense hatred for Wu Tianjiao yesterday, her beatings and attempts to kill him, after one night, her physiology and psychology had undergone a tremendous transformation.
Recalling the scenes of last night, how he had manipulated her into various positions, the indescribable, blissful pleasure he had brought her to the brink of ecstasy, made the Netherworld Mother tremble uncontrollably. A strange heat rose in her heart, and her hand simply wouldn't fall.
"Kill him...you must kill him!"
the Netherworld Mother urged herself incessantly. But the tender, passionate scenes of last night kept flashing through her mind—the alluring positions, the soul-stirring pleasure—leaving her intoxicated, her eyes hazy, her concentrated power gradually dissipating, the strength in her arm completely gone.
Facing this young man, she felt an indescribable awkwardness; she wanted to kill him but couldn't bear to, her emotions utterly conflicted. It was said that Wu Tianjiao had raped her, taking her virginity, but she had enjoyed the pleasures of being a woman. That feeling was addictive, a pleasure she found insatiable, and she felt no hatred towards him whatsoever, unable to even think of hating him.
"Sigh—"
Finally, the Holy Mother of the Underworld let out a self-pitying groan, her hand falling limply to her side. Looking at the mess on the bed, she was on the verge of tears. The area
between their buttocks and legs, and the sheets, were half-wet and half-dry from the Holy Mother of the Underworld's blood and secretions, exuding a lewd aura that made her feel utterly ashamed.
"Cold! Mother! I'm cold!"
Suddenly, in his sleep, Wu Tianjiao climbed onto the Holy Mother of the Underworld's breasts, his expression one of extreme pain. The Holy
Mother of the Underworld's body trembled. His intrusion on her breasts sent a shiver down her spine, making her bones feel weak. Hearing his sleep-talking, she cried out in her heart, "I'm not your mother!"
But Wu Tianjiao in his dream ignored her, seemingly truly regarding her as his mother. He gripped her breasts tightly, his other hand embracing her slender waist, murmuring, "Mother, I miss you so much, don't abandon Tianjiao!"
He held her so tightly that the Holy Mother of the Underworld felt her waist about to break, almost unable to breathe. Looking down, she saw a faint, strange smile on Wu Tianjiao's face. Being as shrewd as she was, she immediately understood. She grabbed Wu Tianjiao's ear and yelled, "You little rascal, wake up! Stop pretending!"
With a forceful pull, she was furious and used real strength, twisting Wu Tianjiao's ear into a donkey's ear shape. Immediately, Wu Tianjiao screamed like a pig being slaughtered, "Ouch...don't pull! It hurts..."
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, or perhaps because the pain was unbearable, Wu Tianjiao's demonic hand gripping the peak of the Netherworld Mother's breast tightened, squeezing so hard it felt like it was about to burst. In pain, the Holy Mother of the Underworld naturally released her grip on Wu Tianjiao's ear, crying out, "I'm going to die! You're hurting me! You're going to scratch me raw... Let go!"
She released her grip, and Wu Tianjiao naturally followed suit, sitting up and looking at the Holy Mother of the Underworld with a wicked grin. He said, "You women like to pull men's ears, but we men like..."
As he spoke, he raised his right hand, his fingers clenching and unclenching repeatedly, saying, "Grabbing breasts!"
The Holy Mother of the Underworld blushed, hurriedly pulling the blanket over her burning, sensual body, glaring at Wu Tianjiao and cursing, "Now you're satisfied? I... I've let you have your way with me, so get out of here!"
"Get out?"
Wu Tianjiao glanced around, chuckling, "In this cave, where do you expect me to go? Heh! Don't forget, you're my woman now. How could I abandon my woman and run away alone?"
Hearing "You're my woman now," the Netherworld Saintess blushed crimson, her face burning like fire. She couldn't help but spit and curse, "Nonsense! You can't expect anything good from a dog's mouth! Who...who is your woman! Don't think that just because you used despicable means to get my body, I'll submit to you! I...I'd rather die than submit to you!"
"You've already submitted, and you're still being hypocritical!"
Wu Tianjiao jumped off the bed and began to dress unhurriedly, saying slowly, "My mouth isn't a dog's mouth. If it were, why did you kiss me last night? Wouldn't you be a bitch then! Heh! Last night...you were really slutty! Luckily, this bed is sturdy enough, otherwise, you would have shaken it down!"
"You bastard!"
The Holy Mother of the Underworld was so ashamed she wanted to die. She grabbed the embroidered pillow and threw it at Wu Tianjiao, cursing, "You are a big lecher, a big pervert, a big wolf, a big devil... I... I will not forgive you!"
As she cursed, she tried to get up and chase after Wu Tianjiao, but as soon as she moved, she felt a terrible pain in her lower body. She couldn't help but cry out and collapsed weakly on the bed, not daring to move at all!
The Holy Mother of the Underworld was, after all, a dignified martial arts saint, a Saint-level expert. She usually didn't care about minor injuries or pains, and she wouldn't even frown. She could be called a heroine among women, a woman who was not inferior to men.
But this time, her pain was different from before. It was the loss of her virginity, and besides, Wu Tianjiao had really tormented her last night. His thing was so thick and long; even a harlot wouldn't be able to withstand such a massive member, let alone a virgin experiencing sex for the first time. Moreover, he had been fucked repeatedly; the Netherworld Saintess had no idea how many times she had been violated, or how she had managed to endure it.
Now, thinking about it, the Netherworld Saintess was somewhat impressed with herself—her narrow passage had actually accommodated Wu Tianjiao's thick and long thing! However, this had also caused her immense pain. Her genitals were red and swollen, as if stung by a hornet's nest, and she probably wouldn't be able to walk for days. What was she to do?
The thought that she, the dignified Third Demon Lord of the Dark Demon Prison, had been deflowered by a man and would have to stay in bed like a postpartum woman, filled the Netherworld Saintess with shame, wishing she could disappear into the ground. It was simply too humiliating!
Catching the pillow thrown by the Holy Mother of the Underworld, Wu Tianjiao jumped back a few steps in fright, thinking that the tigress was about to unleash her fury. Unexpectedly, when he turned around, he saw that the Holy Mother of the Underworld was still on the bed, and had taken the quilt and covered her head, hiding completely under the covers.
Wu Tianjiao was stunned for a moment, then quickly understood what was going on. He had seen this kind of scene many times before. Apart from that reckless Nine Heavens Holy Mother, he had never seen any other woman chase after him despite the pain of losing her virginity. He chuckled dryly and said, "You rest well, I'll go out for a bit!"
With that, he tossed the pillow back onto the bed, dressed himself, and turned to walk out of the cave.
"You...where are you going?"
The Netherworld Holy Mother hurriedly poked her head out from under the covers, her face flushed, like a flower bud just beginning to bloom, indescribably beautiful.
Women are truly strange and incomprehensible creatures. Just now she told Wu Tianjiao to get lost, but a moment later she asked him where he was going. This made Wu Tianjiao feel astonished. Looking back at her flower-like face, his heart fluttered. If he didn't know that the beauty before him had just experienced the sweet dew and her private parts were still deeply wounded, and that he couldn't act rashly again, he really wanted to pounce on her again and ravage her, fucking her a dozen or twenty times.
"Hehe..."
Wu Tianjiao forced himself to calm down, reluctantly shifting his gaze from her jade-like face, and chuckled, "After all that work, my little brother is full, but I'm still hungry. I'm sure your little fairy is full too, but your mouth up there isn't!"
Little brother, little fairy? Hearing such unique terms, the Netherworld Saintess was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood, blushing to the point of bleeding, and cursed, "You lecherous scoundrel, you pervert..."
She grabbed a pillow and threw it at Wu Tianjiao.
This time, Wu Tianjiao didn't catch it, and dashed out of the cave. The pillow hit the cave wall with a "thud," rolled to the ground, and was covered in mud and dust. It's a pity it couldn't speak, otherwise it would definitely protest: You two are flirting, don't take it out on me, what did I do to you!
Wu Tianjiao went out quickly and came back quickly, and in no time, he returned with roasted beast meat, wine, and dry rations.
At this moment, the Holy Mother of the Underworld had already changed her clothes and sat on the bed, shyly waiting for her husband's return, like a newlywed wife. Seeing Wu Tianjiao return, her eyes initially lit up with joy, but she quickly realized something, turned her head away, and pretended not to notice.
Wu Tianjiao secretly rejoiced at her demeanor, knowing that this fiery-tempered Holy Mother had become much more docile; she was just unable to let go of her pride and still maintained her saintly arrogance and reserve. But compared to before, this was a huge change. If he could have his way with her a few more times, she would definitely become as submissive as the Empress Dowager and Consort Cao.
Women, they need to be fucked; they can't be ignored! Only when they are fucked well, their bodies and minds satisfied, and their pent-up desires vented, will they become as obedient as kittens, utterly submissive and gentle to men. Otherwise, the man will only be a cuckold or a cuckold!
This was a profound saying passed down from Chu Yulou to Wu Tianjiao, which he had never forgotten and kept firmly in his heart.
"Eat something! This is rabbit meat I roasted for you, have some!"
Wu Tianjiao said with a smile, handing a fragrant roasted rabbit leg to the Netherworld Mother.
The Netherworld Mother was indeed hungry, and without refusing, she snatched the rabbit leg and silently tore into it. She found the rabbit meat delicious and tender, very tasty.
"Here, have some wine. This is a fine dry red wine, sweet and not strong!"
Wu Tianjiao poured a glass of wine for the Netherworld Mother and handed it to her. His utmost care and concern were like that of a young couple.
The Netherworld Mother didn't refuse and accepted it all. After eating and drinking for a while, she suddenly noticed that Wu Tianjiao was covered in mud and his clothes were torn in several places. Startled, she looked at him questioningly and asked, "Where did you go?"
"Nowhere!"
Wu Tianjiao smiled and said, "I went to the cliff not far ahead, the cliff where you were stung by the King Bee!"
"King Bee!"
The Holy Mother of the Underworld was startled, remembering the terrifying King Bee, and her heart trembled. She said, "You... what were you doing there? Don't you know King Bees are terrifying?"
"Of course I know!"
Wu Tianjiao laughed, "But no matter how terrifying it is, I still had to go. If I didn't go, how could I avenge you!"
Hearing this, the Holy Mother of the Underworld was stunned. Looking at Wu Tianjiao's serious expression, she felt a sudden, inexplicable sweetness in her heart and asked, "Then... were you injured?"
"I'm standing right here, aren't I?"
Wu Tianjiao looked at her with a half-smile, then changed the subject: "Looks like you care about me! You even asked if I was hurt!"
The Holy Mother of the Underworld blushed, a sudden panic gripping her. She quickly turned her head away and spat, "Don't flatter yourself! Who cares about you? I was just asking casually! I wish you'd been stung to death by a king bee!" "
Is that so!"
Wu Tianjiao chuckled and sat down on the edge of the bed, saying, "If I died, wouldn't you be a widow! We're newly married, and you already want your husband dead? That's too cruel, trying to murder your husband!"
"You..."
Seeing that Wu Tianjiao had become so frivolous after only a few words, the Holy Mother of the Underworld was both ashamed and angry. She was too lazy to argue with him and said, "If you keep this up, I'll... ignore you!"
With that, she turned her head away, angrily throwing the rabbit meat aside, refusing to eat or drink.
"Alright, alright!"
Seeing the Netherworld Mother sulking like a little girl, Wu Tianjiao quickly raised his hands in surrender and laughed, "My Holy Mother, don't be angry. I'll show you two things; you'll be happy after you see them!"
As he spoke, he made a hand seal, silently chanted a spell, and with a thought, ripples appeared in the air of the cave, and two enormous, blood-red poisonous bees materialized out of thin air.
"Ah..."
The Netherworld Mother, seeing this, shrank back into the blankets in fright, exclaiming, "King Bees!"
There's a saying: Once bitten, twice shy. The Netherworld Mother was now in a similar situation. She recognized the two blood-red poisonous bees Wu Tianjiao had summoned—the same two "King Bees" that had stung her. How could she not be frightened at first sight?
Volume 5, Chapter 147: Mother-in-law Beats Son-in-law
Haha… Seeing the fearful look on the Netherworld Holy Mother's face, Wu Tianjiao laughed heartily, saying, “I say… my little darling, you are the Holy Mother, with superb martial arts skills, a first-rate master in the martial arts world, why are you afraid of two poisonous bees? You 're such a coward!”
Hearing this, the Netherworld Holy Mother suddenly realized, “That’s right! I am the Holy Mother, how can I be afraid of two bees? The reason I was stung yesterday was because I wasn’t on guard and was careless. Now that I’m better, why am I still afraid of two poisonous bees?”
Thinking of this, the Netherworld Holy Mother felt somewhat ashamed, secretly blaming herself: “When did I become so weak and incompetent?”
But then she saw Wu Tianjiao with a calm and composed expression, while the two queen bees vibrated their wings, flying and circling around him, without launching any attack on him or her.
Uh! Seeing this scene, the Netherworld Holy Mother was stunned. Wu Tianjiao commanded the two queen bees, shouting, "You two, you've harmed my woman for no reason! Your sins are heinous; even being torn to pieces wouldn't be an exaggeration. But I'm giving you a chance to reform, since this is your first offense, and ignorance is no excuse. You'll live, and you can atone for your crimes later. Now, hurry over and kowtow to the Holy Mother, begging for her forgiveness!"
The Holy Mother of the Underworld found it utterly ridiculous to watch Wu Tianjiao reprimand the two queen bees like an emperor. But to her astonishment, the two bees, flapping their wings and buzzing, actually flew to her bedside and knelt before her, seemingly apologizing.
The Holy Mother of the Underworld was dumbfounded; she never imagined that two ferocious queen bees could become so docile. Seeing Wu Tianjiao's grinning face, she suddenly realized and blurted out, "You tamed them?"
"You forgot, I'm a beast tamer!"
Wu Tianjiao chuckled. "These two insects aren't high-level magical beasts, but they're the kings of bee-type magical beasts, with innate pride and a rebellious spirit. It took me quite a bit of effort to tame them. I guess this is revenge for you. Want them as your pets? I'll give them to you."
"I don't want them!"
The Netherworld Mother pouted, like a little girl throwing a tantrum. Wu Tianjiao secretly rejoiced at her adorable expression. He hadn't expected the Netherworld Mother, after experiencing the warmth of rain and dew, to have changed so much, possessing such a cute side. She had completely shed her former "tiger mom" image, becoming like a young girl in her prime, naturally knowing how to act coquettishly towards men. He liked that. The Netherworld Mother was
completely unaware of her coquettish behavior. She composed herself and carefully observed the two queen bees in front of her. These two queen bees were enormous, each the size of an adult's foot, their bodies a fiery crimson. Two sharp fangs, one on each side, gleamed coldly, and their central stingers were incredibly sharp, making them look exceptionally ferocious and terrifying. On their backs were shimmering, crystalline yellow stripes shaped like the Chinese character "王" (king), truly befitting their legendary queen bee status.
Although queen bees were mid-level magical beasts, their terror was such that even high-level magical beasts dared not provoke them. As the saying goes, "Many ants can kill an elephant." Even the largest elephant, if surrounded by thousands of ants, will eventually be devoured, leaving only a pile of bones. The queen bees' function was to summon thousands upon thousands of magical bees, enough to intimidate any high-level or super magical beast.
The Netherworld Saintess was tempted, but having already said she didn't want them, how could she possibly ask Wu Tianjiao for them again? After thinking for a while, she felt that although the king bee was nice, it was too small and she couldn't ride it. So she said, "If you really want to give me a magical beast, give me a flying mount! Don't you have many Heavenly Lion Beasts? How about giving me one?"
Seeing the yearning look in the Netherworld Mother's eyes, Wu Tianjiao was taken aback, then immediately nodded and smiled, "Of course! You're my woman, what's mine is yours!"
Hearing him repeatedly emphasize "you're my woman," the Netherworld Mother felt both shy and embarrassed, and said coquettishly, "Who's your woman? If you keep talking nonsense, I won't talk to you anymore!" "
Alright! I won't say it!"
Wu Tianjiao said with a grin, and with a thought, he put the king bee into the Nine Dragons Jade Bracelet space, asking, "Are you full?"
"I'm not eating anymore!"
The Holy Mother of the Underworld glared at him, her anger barely contained. "I'm already full from your anger, what's the point of eating!"
Wu Tianjiao laughed, "Since you're full, let's go!"
Saying this, he stepped forward and, without a word, swept the Holy Mother of the Underworld from the bed and carried her inside. The Holy Mother of the Underworld screamed in fright, "What are you doing? Let me go, no..."
She thought Wu Tianjiao was going to do something indecent to her again. She was already badly injured and couldn't bear it.
"Hehe! My little darling, I'm just carrying you away, what did you think I was doing!"
Wu Tianjiao laughed as he held her. He used his magic again to store the contents of the cave into the Nine Dragons Jade Bracelet space.
The Holy Mother of the Underworld was so nervous that she didn't notice what was happening in the cave. Hearing Wu Tianjiao's words, she relaxed and realized she had misunderstood. But being carried by such a small man made her feel very ashamed. She said, "Where are you taking me? Put me down, I can walk by myself!"
Saying this, she struggled to get down.
"Let's forget it!"
Wu Tianjiao held her tightly, teasingly saying, "Can you walk? Don't say I didn't warn you, a woman who's been deflowered by me for the first time won't be able to walk for two or three days. If you walk by yourself, and then you can't stand the pain, don't make me carry you again!"
Upon hearing this, the Netherworld Saint Mother was immediately frightened and dared not move. She knew her own situation well; she knew she couldn't walk, or she would suffer terribly. She immediately asked, "Where... are you going to carry me?"
Hearing this, Wu Tianjiao looked at her in surprise, blinking her eyes, and said, "Of course, home. Do you want to live with me in this cave forever? Let me tell you, we've been out for a day and a night. If we don't go back soon, Fengbao will probably be in chaos!"
Carrying the Netherworld Saint Mother out of the cave, Wu Tianjiao was about to summon his flying mount, the Bloodwing Sky Lion King, when he suddenly heard a familiar roar coming from afar. He looked up and was startled. In the distance, a dozen or so black dots were rapidly expanding in the sky, flying towards them.
Soon, the dots drew closer and became clearer, revealing a dozen or so Celestial Lion Beasts. They had clearly spotted Wu Tianjiao and were approaching. Each Celestial Lion Beast carried a person on its back. When they were about seven or eight zhang above the ground, they jumped down and called out in unison, "Young Master..."
The voices were soft yet powerful; they were Wu Tianjiao's personal guards: the Asura Female Guards. Clearly, they had come looking for Wu Tianjiao.
Seeing someone arrive, the Netherworld Mother was extremely embarrassed and struggled to get down. She didn't want anyone to see her like this. How could a great saint be held by a man? What kind of decorum was that? How could she save face!
Wu Tianjiao couldn't persuade the Netherworld Mother, so he had to loosen his grip and release her. The Netherworld Mother's face burned, and she quietly hid behind Wu Tianjiao. However, the Shura female guards had already witnessed the scene, and by the time she broke free from Wu Tianjiao's embrace, it was too late!
"Young Master!"
The tall and slender Shura Bi strode up to Wu Tianjiao, glancing at the Netherworld Mother with a hint of urgency, and said urgently, "Young Master, we've finally found you! We've been searching for you! The Madam wants you to return home immediately; something has happened at home!"
"Ah!"
Wu Tianjiao was startled and blurted out, "What happened at home?"
Shura Bi shook her head, "I'm not entirely sure, but it must be serious. The Madam and the others are frantic, like ants on a hot plate. They've sent all the guards in the fortress to look for you, saying that if you don't return soon, she'll go to the appointment in your place!"
"An appointment?"
Wu Tianjiao's expression changed, and he asked, "An appointment with what?"
"This subordinate doesn't know!"
Shurabi frowned and said, "Last night, someone delivered a letter to our fortress. I guess it's the letter that's the problem. After reading it, the First Madam was immediately extremely anxious. She sent all the guards and warriors in the fortress out to find you, Young Master, and said that you must be brought back to keep the appointment within two days. Otherwise, she will have to go in your place!"
Wu Tianjiao's expression immediately became serious upon hearing this. After pondering for a moment, he nodded and said, "Then let's hurry back, Aya!"
"Your subordinate is here!"
Shuraya replied and came to Wu Tianjiao's side, saying, "What are your orders, Young Master?"
Wu Tianjiao glanced at the Netherworld Saint Mother, chuckled twice, and said, "She is slightly injured and has difficulty walking. You will ride with her and take good care of her, making sure she doesn't aggravate her wound!"
"Yes, Young Master!"
Shuraya readily agreed. Looking at the Netherworld Saint Mother again, her face was already as red as blood, and her eyes were full of shame. Seeing her expression, how could the Asura female guards not understand what was going on?
The Shura female guards present were all experienced and knew the young master's power well. They had also seen from afar that the Netherworld Mother had broken free from Wu Tianjiao's embrace. Now, with Wu Tianjiao's words, they immediately guessed the reason the Netherworld Mother couldn't walk—most likely because of the young master's...!
Fortunately, the Shura female guards were all tactful; perhaps out of consideration for the Netherworld Mother's status, none of them made any jokes or ridicule, embarrassing her. With Shura Ya's careful support and assistance, the Netherworld Mother sat on the back of the Heavenly Lion Beast. Wu Tianjiao and the Shura female guards followed suit. Wu Tianjiao and Shura Bi rode together on one Heavenly Lion Beast. At a command, more than a dozen Heavenly Lion Beasts roared in unison, flapped their wings, and took to the air, flying straight towards Wind City.
Actually, after their chase, Wu Tianjiao and the Netherworld Mother hadn't gone too far from Wind City, only about two hundred li. With the Heavenly Lion Beasts' flying ability, they could arrive in a few flaps of their wings. Moreover, these Celestial Lion Beasts were all super magical beasts exceeding their level. Therefore, in no time, they flew over Wind Fortress and slowly landed on the plaza.
After disembarking from the Celestial Lion Beasts, Wu Tianjiao had Shuraya help the Netherworld Saint Mother to rest, while he and Shurabi headed straight for the main hall. Little did he know that someone had already reported this to the First Madam, Xiao Yunhua. What Wu Tianjiao didn't expect was that before he even reached the entrance of the main hall, he saw Xiao Yunhua leading a large group of women rushing out.
One of the women was the fastest, rushing up to Wu Tianjiao in a single stride. Holding a feather duster, she pointed it at his nose and began to berate him: "Wu Tianjiao, you bastard! Where have you been? Hiding away? You heartless wretch! How did you protect my daughters? I married my daughters to you, letting them come to Fengcheng with you. What promises did you make to me then? Why did you let Qionghua run away? Do you know how dangerous it is outside? Thieves and bandits everywhere! If anything happens to my daughters, I'll never forgive you…"
This torrent of abuse, spittle flying and shards of glass scattering, completely bewildered Wu Tianjiao. He was utterly confused, utterly disoriented, and had no idea what was happening. However, he recognized the woman who was hurling insults at him. It was none other than his mother-in-law, the wife of the current Prime Minister Xiao Hongyuan, and the mother of Xiao Yunhua and Xiao Qionghua—Madam Xiao.
Upon their first meeting, Wu Tianjiao was immediately subjected to a torrent of abuse from his mother-in-law. He was utterly speechless,
muttering "Uh...uh..." and involuntarily taking a step back, waving his hands and saying, "Mother-in-law...please...please calm down!"
However, with each step he retreated, Madam Xiao pressed forward, becoming increasingly aggressive and demanding: "Calm down my ass! Wu Tianjiao, I've seen through you now. They say pretty boys are no good, and that's absolutely true! I opposed Yunhua and the others marrying you from the start, but those two girls were bewitched and insisted on marrying you!" "You wouldn't listen to my advice, and now look what you've done to my daughter! Look at your Fengbao, what a mess it's become! All sorts of women come here, do you think you're some kind of Casanova…"
Madam Xiao grew angrier and angrier with each word, perhaps used to dominating the household and beating people. Suddenly, she raised a feather duster and began to lash out at Wu Tianjiao, delivering a brutal beating!
"Ouch…ouch…my mother!"
Wu Tianjiao screamed, covering his head and running away. But calling for his mother or father was useless now. Madam Xiao was a notorious tigress in the capital; even the Prime Minister Xiao feared her, let alone her son-in-law, Wu Tianjiao. For a mother-in-law to beat her son-in-law was perfectly justified and expected.
Seeing her mother beating her husband, Xiao Yunhua was frantic. She cried out, "Mother! Don't hit Tianjiao..."
She tried to stop her mother, but was stopped by a very beautiful young woman. The woman, seemingly eager to stir up trouble, laughed and said, "Sister Yunhua, don't go over there. A man like that needs to be taught a lesson. If we don't show him what's what, he'll think your family has no one to rely on, and he'll take you for granted in the future! This time, let Mother-in-law teach him a good lesson so he won't be fickle and prone to infidelity!"
Many women emerged from the hall. Besides Xiao Yunhua and the beautiful young woman, there were Princess Tanxue, Princess Tanxiang, Cao Jianqin, the Empress Dowager, Consort Cao, Cao Xian'e, and many others—all the important women of Fanfeng Fortress had gathered in the hall.
Seeing their husband being beaten, Princess Tanxue, Princess Tanxiang, and Cao Jianqin couldn't stand idly by. They tried to stop Madam Xiao, but were stopped by several noblewomen.
Those who blocked their way were all Wu Tianjiao's old lovers, all from the capital: Madam Fan, Madam Hua Yu, and Madam Zhenguo. They were blocking them because they were furious.
They had traveled thousands of miles from the capital to Fengcheng to find Wu Tianjiao, only to have this heartless "faithless man" vanish without a trace the moment he saw them. He was hiding from them—how infuriating!
He deserved to be beaten! Madam Zhenguo, Yun Ji, clenched her fists, silently cheering for Madam Xiao, a hint of resentment in her eyes. Many other women shared the same thought, but they were mindful of their status and couldn't take their anger out on Wu Tianjiao. Now that Madam Xiao was standing up for them, they were overjoyed and secretly cheered for Madam Xiao!
Chapter 148 Domineering
"Ah...ah...Mother-in-law, let's talk this out, please stop hitting me! I know I was wrong, oh dear..."
Wu Tianjiao had never been so disheveled, being chased and brutally beaten by Madam Xiao, constantly screaming and begging for mercy. He couldn't dodge, and he dared not fight back—his opponent was his mother-in-law!
"Wrong? Do you know where you went wrong? It's too late to know now!"
Madam Xiao cursed angrily, the feather duster in her hand raining down on Wu Tianjiao, making a loud slapping sound, sending feathers flying everywhere and scattering across the ground.
Madam Xiao was known for her fierce and shrewish nature in the capital, and had a terrifying nickname circulating among the people: "A Ground of Feathers." This referred to Madam Xiao's fondness for using a feather duster to beat people, leaving behind a mess of feathers after each beating. Those who hadn't seen it wouldn't know, but now, seeing Madam Xiao using a feather duster to discipline her son-in-law, with feathers flying everywhere, it truly lived up to its name—"A Ground of Feathers."
Wu Tianjiao dodged and weaved, seeing so many people around but not a single one pleading for him, he inwardly groaned. Fortunately, his internal energy had reached the late-stage Saint level, so a few superficial injuries were nothing to him. But he was, after all, the dignified Golden Saber Prince Consort, the Lord of Feng City; how could he maintain his dignity being chased and beaten like this by a woman?
Even a clay figure has some spirit, let alone a person of flesh and blood. Seeing Madam Xiao's relentless beating, Wu Tianjiao's anger flared, and he couldn't help but unleash his Dragon Elephant Divine Skill, his entire body filled with true energy.
As a result, Madam Xiao's feather duster landed on Wu Tianjiao, making muffled "thud" sounds. After only a few blows, Madam Xiao felt waves of recoil, her hands burning and aching, and she involuntarily stopped.
"Are you done hitting me?"
Wu Tianjiao straightened his clothes, glared at Madam Xiao, and asked irritably.
"I'm...I'm done!"
Madam Xiao, momentarily intimidated by Wu Tianjiao's imposing manner, stammered in response.
"Since you're done, I'll go inside!"
Wu Tianjiao flicked his sleeve and walked directly into the hall.
Madam Xiao was stunned for a moment before suddenly realizing what was happening. She immediately roared like an enraged lioness, pointing at Wu Tianjiao with a duster that only had a few feathers left, "You brat, how dare you talk to me like that! You...you
're so rude!" "Mother! Please don't blame Tianjiao!"
Xiao Yunhua quickly came to comfort her mother, saying, "Mother! Don't be angry. Tianjiao doesn't even know what happened. Your beating was too...heartless!"
"What?"
Madam Xiao jumped up as if her tail had been stepped on, glaring at Xiao Yunhua and scolding, "You wretched girl! I'm just standing up for you, and you're blaming me! So, you're married now, have a husband, and now you don't even want your mother anymore… Are you still my daughter?"
Xiao Yunhua blushed, at a loss for words. She looked around, her gaze falling on the Empress Dowager, a pleading look on her face. Here, others might not be able to influence her, only the Empress Dowager could quiet Madam Xiao down for a while.
The Empress Dowager also felt that Madam Xiao had gone a bit too far. As the saying goes, "People need face, trees need bark." Wu Tianjiao is, after all, your son-in-law. You've hit him, you've scolded him, you should stop now and leave him some face. Continuing like this is just too outrageous.
"Sigh! Madam Xiao!"
The Empress Dowager stepped forward helplessly. She was dressed in a magnificent palace robe and fur coat, adorned with a palace crown, and shimmering with jewels. In her
arms, she cradled a golden, fluffy, top-tier magical beast, the Golden-Eyed Lightning Sable. Her jade-like hands constantly stroked the sleek golden fur. On her fair wrists adorned a pair of crystal-clear jade bracelets, and on her slender fingers were ten long, pointed finger guards, exuding an air of noble elegance and distinguished status.
Although this wasn't the imperial palace, and the title of Empress Dowager was merely nominal, the treatment at Wind Fortress was no less than that of the capital's imperial palace. Jewels, fine clothes, and sumptuous food—she had everything one could desire. Nourished by the rain, the Empress Dowager felt refreshed and radiant, her every gesture exuding charm and vitality.
Her appearance and words immediately caused Madam Xiao to restrain herself considerably. No matter what, she dared not be presumptuous before the Empress Dowager of the Empire. She immediately put on a smile and respectfully said, "Your Majesty, what are your orders?" "
Madam Xiao, the Imperial Son-in-Law has just returned. He doesn't know what happened yet. Let's all go to the hall and explain things clearly!"
the Empress Dowager said with a smile.
"Yes, Madam Xiao!"
Consort Cao also advised, "Your beating was enough for the Imperial Son-in-Law. Calm down and have some tea in the hall. Now is not the time to discipline him. If you want to discipline him, wait until he has rescued the person!"
The two of them worked together, and Madam Xiao dared not disobey them. She realized what they meant and hurried to the hall.
Wu Tianjiao walked into the hall, turned around, and found Xiu Luobi following closely behind him. He couldn't help but glare at her and muttered in a low voice, "Why didn't you tell me on the way that Madam Xiao had come to the fortress? I could have been prepared!"
Xiu Luobi blinked and said apologetically, "Young Master, when we went out to look for you, Madam Xiao wasn't there. She probably only arrived in Fengcheng this morning, and we didn't know. So... she's the mother of the First Madam and the Second Madam. She's really something!"
As she spoke, she stuck out her tongue, looking quite adorable.
Wu Tianjiao smiled bitterly, thinking, "Is she that powerful? If it weren't for Sister Yunhua and Sister Qionghua, and the fact that she's my mother-in-law, I would have... Ah!" He
was startled by this thought, shaking his head, thinking, "She's my mother-in-law! How could I have such evil thoughts?"
He sat down in the hall, having just taken a sip of tea, when Madam Xiao rushed in excitedly, pointing at him and saying, "Wu Tianjiao, how do you plan to rescue my daughter? My daughter was kidnapped because of you!"
"Uh!"
Wu Tianjiao was completely bewildered, asking in surprise, "What are you talking about? What do you mean, rescue your daughter..."
Before he could finish, his heart skipped a beat, and he looked around. At this moment, Xiao Yunhua, Princess Tanxue, and the other women had already entered the hall. Wu Tianjiao looked around but couldn't find Xiao Qionghua. He asked, "Where's Sister Qionghua? Hasn't she returned?"
"You finally remembered her!"
Madam Xiao sneered. "It's a wonder you still remember her. Let me tell you, if anything happens to my daughter, I'll never forgive you!"
Wu Tianjiao was shocked and stood up abruptly, asking in horror, "What happened to Sister Qionghua? What happened to her? And what about Sister Yuehua?"
"Tianjiao, don't worry. Qionghua and Yuehua should be safe for now!"
Xiao Yunhua quickly came up to comfort him. "Qionghua and Yuehua were captured by Madam Mei on their way back..."
"Madam Mei!"
Wu Tianjiao's expression changed drastically. He asked anxiously, "How are they now?"
"They should be in Iron Dragon City!"
Xiao Yunhua frowned. "Last night, Madam Mei sent someone with a letter, ordering you to..." "Go to Iron Dragon City alone for the appointment, or she'll kill my second sister and younger sister Yuehua!"
Saying this, she pulled a letter from her sleeve and handed it to him.
Wu Tianjiao took the letter and unfolded it. It contained only a few lines of writing: "Wu Tianjiao, your wife and sister-in-law are in my hands. If you want them to live, you'd better get to Iron Dragon City within three days. Remember, you are only allowed to come alone, otherwise, you can expect to collect Xiao Qionghua and Xiao Yuehua's corpses."
It was signed: Madam Mei. And there was a red plum blossom pattern, the unique mark of Red Plum Manor.
"Madam Mei, that wretched woman!"
Wu Tianjiao roared in fury, bang! He slammed the letter on the coffee table and shouted, "I won't let her get away with this!"
"You won't let anyone
get away with this? It's all your fault!" Madam Xiao scolded, "Why did you have to provoke that Madam Mei? Now my daughter has been captured by her. If anything happens to Qionghua, I'll skin you alive!"
"Alright, Mother! Please stop talking!"
Xiao Yunhua said anxiously, "Now we need to find a way to rescue Qionghua and Yuehua. Madam Mei sent Tianjiao to Iron Dragon City alone, which is obviously not a good thing. We can't let Tianjiao go!"
"I have to go even if I can't!"
Wu Tianjiao said resolutely, "Sister Yunhua, Mother-in-law, don't worry, Tianjiao will definitely rescue Sister Qionghua and Sister Yuehua. Since Madam Mei wants me to go, I'll go!"
"Prince Consort, I'll go with you!"
Princess Tanxue stepped forward and said.
Princess Tanxiang wasn't to be outdone, chiming in, "I'm going too!"
"Nonsense!"
Consort Cao glared at them, scolding, "Madam Mei wants Tianjiao to go alone. If you go with her, and anger her, won't Qionghua and Yuehua's lives be in danger?"
Princess Tanxue frowned, "Madam Mei hates the Prince Consort to the bone. Sending him alone is clearly a death wish! He absolutely cannot go alone! Therefore, we must go too!"
"Alright! Stop arguing!"
Wu Tianjiao said resolutely, "I've decided to go alone to rescue Sister Qionghua and Sister Yuehua. You all stay home and guard Feng Fort. Don't forget, besides Madam Mei, there's also Xiong Shiguang. I'm worried that Madam Mei and Xiong Shiguang might be using a diversionary tactic, drawing us all to Tielong City so they can take advantage of the situation and seize Feng City?"
"Tianjiao is right, we must not be careless!"
Madam Fan suddenly spoke up, "I heard about this Madam Mei as soon as I arrived in Fengcheng. She's no ordinary person; she's influential in all aspects of life. Her relationship with Eagle King and Xiong Shiguang is intricate and entangled. I think that her luring Tianjiao to Iron Dragon City might be, as Tianjiao said, a diversionary tactic to create an opportunity for Xiong Shiguang!"
Upon hearing Madam Fan speak, Wu Tianjiao couldn't help but scrutinize her. Madam Fan was still as beautiful as ever, dressed in a pure white mink coat, exuding an elegant and refined air. Coupled with her mature and captivatingly beautiful face, even though Wu Tianjiao had spent unforgettable time with her before, seeing her again still left him mesmerized.
Standing on either side of Madam Fan were two stunningly beautiful noblewomen, Madam Huayu and Madam Zhenguo. They were equally graceful and beautiful, a sight to behold. Wu Tianjiao had always felt their temperaments were somewhat similar; both were equally serene and their manners equally elegant. The only difference was that Madam Fan was more mature, alluring, and possessed an irresistible charm.
Catching Wu Tianjiao's gaze, the three noblewomen blushed, lowered their heads slightly, and looked extremely embarrassed. They didn't know why. When they learned that the Shura army was approaching the capital, their original intention was to go to the Southern Frontier to seek refuge with Princess Jingguo, but they had inexplicably ended up in Fengcheng. This shows that they couldn't let go of Wu Tianjiao in their hearts, willing to bear the world's infamy to come to Fengcheng to meet their lovers.
Uh! Suddenly, Wu Tianjiao remembered the other women, looked around, and asked, "Where are Princess Wude and Princess Qianning? Didn't they come too?"
"After learning that Qionghua and Yuehua had been captured by Madam Mei, they went to Tielong City early this morning!"
Princess Tanxue said. "They hope that Madam Mei can release them for the sake of Uncle Wang!"
Uncle Wang! Upon hearing this, Wu Tianjiao raised an eyebrow, knowing she was referring to Eagle King Yuwen Tao, and asked, "Is Eagle King in Iron Dragon City now?"
"No!"
Xiao Yunhua frowned. "According to news from Iron Dragon City, to prevent the Asuras from advancing north, Eagle King has already deployed a large force to Snow Dragon City, personally overseeing the city. The current commanders of Iron Dragon City are the Jin family father and son!"
"Pfft! The Jin family father and son!"
Wu Tianjiao gasped, his facial muscles twitching, and blurted out, "Jin Ji and Jin Changxu?"
Xiao Yunhua nodded slightly, remaining silent. Wu Tianjiao stamped his foot, exclaiming, "Damn it! The Jin family father and son have a grudge against me. If they take this opportunity to harm my two sisters, then…"
He stamped his foot again, saying, "I'm going to Iron Dragon City right now!"
and strode out.
"Wait!"
A clear shout suddenly rang out, and a white figure flashed. A stunningly beautiful woman in white appeared before the attendants. Her breathtaking beauty captivated everyone present, leaving them speechless with awe.
It was none other than Wan Tianxian, the Sword Queen of the Martial World. She walked up to Wu Tianjiao, gazed into his eyes, and solemnly said, "Iron Dragon City is a fully militarized steel fortress, no less than a dragon's den or a tiger's lair. If you go alone, even with thousands of magical beasts, you'll likely find it difficult to escape. Let us accompany you!" "
We?"
Wu Tianjiao was taken aback. Before he could ask, Qingling Holy Mother, Shenyin Holy Mother, Leiyin Holy Mother, and Xuanyin Holy Mother entered the hall together. Lei Yin Shengmu said, "Tianjiao, we've discussed it. The five of us will accompany you to Iron Dragon Fortress. Even if Iron Dragon City is a den of dragons and tigers, we will ensure your safe return!"
"You…"
Wu Tianjiao's expression changed, and he said in astonishment, "You can't go! If you go, Wind Fortress will be even more…"
"Don't worry!"
the Sword Queen said sternly. "The five of us are going, and with the Taiyin Goddess and your aunt Wu Saiying still in the fortress, plus so many experts from the capital, Feng Fortress is impregnable and there won't be any problems. Besides, Iron Dragon City isn't far from Feng City, so if anything happens, we can come back in time!"
Wu Tianjiao thought about it and agreed with their reasoning. He sighed and said, "Alright, then you all come with me. I want to see what tricks Madam Mei is playing and what she can do to me."
As he spoke, his eyes flashed coldly, his murderous aura was chilling, and an aura of majesty arose spontaneously, causing the women present to be captivated. They felt that this man was very different from before, possessing a subtle yet chilling domineering aura!
Without delay, saving lives was paramount. Wu Tianjiao and the others rushed out of the hall. The others had already prepared their flying mounts. Just as Wu Tianjiao was about to summon the Bloodwing Sky Lion King, he suddenly heard Xiao Yunhua call out, "Tianjiao, wait!"
Xiao Yunhua ran out of the hall and stood before Wu Tianjiao, saying, "Tianjiao, there's something I need to tell you. Princess Wude and the others brought Grandpa with them when they came to Fengcheng. Grandpa is in the fortress right now. Why don't we send someone to call him over so you can see him?"
"Grandpa!"
Wu Tianjiao was both surprised and delighted. "He's here!"
He paused, then shook his head and said, "I'll see Grandpa when I return from Iron Dragon City! Sister Yunhua, please take good care of Grandpa for me until I come back!"
With that, he summoned the Bloodwing Sky Lion King and mounted it. Together with the Sky Lion Beasts of the others, they flew into the sky, heading straight towards Iron Dragon City.
Chapter 149 Ambition Across the Land
The north wind howled, biting like a knife...
It was already March, a season of renewal for all things in the south. But on the vast northern land, it was still the dead of winter, with extremely low temperatures. Every evening, the biting wind howled, keeping people indoors and forcing them to huddle around the fireplace for warmth.
The dark clouds in the sky hung low, pitch black, obscuring even the moon and stars, creating an atmosphere of profound heaviness.
Iron Dragon City, the most important military fortress in the northern Han Hai Prefecture, stood silently in the night at the Iron Dragon Ridge pass on the Han Hai Plain, towering majestically like an ancient behemoth lying in wait, its gaping maw seemingly devouring all the evil in the world…
The wind was cold, but the city gates of Iron Dragon City were illuminated by lights, eagle flags fluttered, and squads of brightly armored, fully armed Falcon Warriors shuttled back and forth on the city walls. On almost every rampart, a soldier stood guard, holding a long spear and carrying a bow and arrow, intently watching the darkness outside the city, as if facing a formidable enemy.
Although Iron Dragon City was far from Xitian City, thousands of miles away, the people here could not believe that the Shura people would bring the flames of war to Iron Dragon City so quickly. But Eagle King Yuwen Tao and General Jin Ji were still solemn.
According to the information they had received, after conquering Xitian City, the Shura army would continue eastward, its advance aimed directly at Tianjing, and would not for the time being divide its forces to go north and invade Han Hai Prefecture. However, two legions of the Asura Empire remained stationed inside and outside Xitian City: the Eleventh Legion, known as the Whirlwind Legion, and the Thirteenth Legion, the Gale Legion.
These two main legions, totaling over 300,000 troops, were stationed within and outside Xitian City. Moreover, their commanders, Duke Asura Yuan and Marquis Na Yanhe, were both renowned generals with extensive military experience. This put immense pressure on Eagle King Yuwen Tao, forcing him to personally guard Snow Dragon City.
Eagle King had originally planned to take advantage of the Asura army's eastward advance to launch a surprise attack on Xitian City, cutting off the Asuras's rear. But now, his plan seemed incredibly unrealistic. Clearly, the Asuras had anticipated this and were heavily guarding their rear, leaving two main legions to protect Xitian City. Even with twice the troops, Eagle King dared not act rashly.
Little did Eagle King know that the Asura Emperor's decision to leave two main legions in Xitian City was not only to guard against him, Eagle King Yuwen Tao, but also against Wu Tianjiao of Wind City.
At the military conference held in the Shura Castle palace, although the Shura Emperor did not adopt Princess Feifeng's suggestion, he did not completely disregard her words.
Therefore, after leaving Shura Yuan's Whirlwind Legion to garrison Xitian City, he cautiously also left the Gale Legion behind. With the two main legions, Gale and Whirlwind, totaling 300,000 soldiers, the Shura Emperor had no worries about his rear and could focus entirely on the grand strategy of conquering Tianjing.
With the fall of Xitian City, the Shura Empire launched a massive invasion, its iron hooves shaking the land and shattering the mountains and rivers. This made Eagle King Yuwen Tao feel the impending crisis of national subjugation. He mobilized as many troops as possible from Tielong City to Xuelong City, seeking an opportunity to relieve the pressure on Tianjing.
However, this left Tielong City's forces depleted. Fortunately, General Jin Ji was stationed there, deeply aware of Tielong City's importance, and dared not be careless, strengthening the city's defenses, especially at night, maintaining high vigilance to prevent the Shura from gaining any advantage.
Tonight, however, the number of guards in Tielong City was nearly double that of usual, solemn and imposing, as if facing a formidable enemy. On the city walls, Jin Ji and his son Jin Changxu constantly peered out, appearing extremely anxious.
The past few days had been anything but easy for the Jin family; they had been overwhelmed with work and constantly complaining. Sometimes, in private, the father and son would even curse Eagle King Yuwen Tao, calling him a scoundrel who ran off to Snow Dragon City, leaving them to suffer. If they could, they would rather go to Snow Dragon City and face the Asuras than stay in Iron Dragon City.
It's no wonder the Jin family father and son were full of resentment. After Eagle King Yuwen Tao left, they became the commanders of Iron Dragon City. Although they were busy with military affairs and had to deal with all sorts of things, they didn't have the pressure of a direct superior, so their lives were relatively carefree. However, with the arrival of those two "queens," their "good days" came to a complete end.
These two "queens" were none other than a mother and daughter, Madam Mei and Xiong Yuexiang, who had fled from Red Plum Manor to Iron Dragon City.
Others might not know the relationship between Madam Mei and Eagle King, but as Eagle King's trusted general, Jin Ji certainly did. Therefore, Jin Ji dared not neglect the arrival of this mother and daughter. On the one hand, he informed Eagle King Yuwen Tao, and on the other hand, he arranged for Madam Mei and Xiong Yuexiang to stay at Eagle King's residence.
But they never expected that after Madam Mei and Xiong Yuexiang arrived in Iron Dragon City, they would become the de facto mistresses of the Eagle King's Mansion. Moreover, Madam Mei was deeply ambitious, and her audacity was chilling.
Especially just two days ago, she not only captured the wife and sister-in-law of "Golden Knife Prince Consort" Wu Tianjiao, but also placed Princess Wude, Princess Qianning, and Madam Nightingale, who had come to visit, under house arrest, and wrote a letter inviting Wu Tianjiao to Iron Dragon City. How could the Jin family father and son not be anxious?
"Father! Do you think the Golden Knife Prince Consort will come to the appointment? He should know that this is a trap!"
On the city tower, Jin Changxu looked at the dark night sky over the plains outside the city and said anxiously.
Jin Changxu was also a promising young man. Several months ago, he was furious that Wu Tianjiao had taken away his beloved Yuwen Xiang. He intercepted Wu Tianjiao in Wind Return Valley and fought him. As a result, he was injured by Wu Tianjiao, his meridians were broken, and he almost became a cripple.
Fortunately, Wu Tianjiao disregarded past grievances and gifted Jin Changxu a spiritual pill. Now, Jin Changxu not only recovered from his internal injuries but also greatly increased his power, breaking through his own bottleneck and reaching an unprecedented level of cultivation. It could be said that he turned misfortune into blessing.
Of course, all of this was thanks to the bottle of "Heaven-Reaching Tendon-Regenerating Pill" given to him by Wu Tianjiao. Reflecting on it afterward, Jin Changxu felt both ashamed and grateful, and his hatred for Wu Tianjiao gradually faded.
"He'll come!"
Jin Ji stood at the city gate, gazing at the deep night sky, his brow slightly furrowed. He said, "Every man has pride, an unyielding spirit. Knowing there are tigers in the mountains, they still venture forth. Wu Tianjiao is a man, therefore, he will definitely come!"
"Will he really come?"
Jin Changxu asked, somewhat skeptical. "Knowing coming to Iron Dragon City is a trap, he'll still come. Wu Tianjiao is too foolish!"
"That's not foolishness, it's confidence, and also a sense of responsibility!"
Jin Ji smiled, looking at Jin Changxu, and asked, "Xu'er, from another perspective, if it were you, would you come?"
"Me?"
Jin Changxu pointed to himself, stunned. "Of course I would come, and I absolutely must come. As a man, how could I not save my wife!"
"That's right!"
Jin Ji patted his son's shoulder and laughed heartily, "That's my son, Jin Ji! You and Wu Tianjiao are both men!"
Then, his laughter subsided, and his tone shifted meaningfully, "However, Xu'er, from a general's perspective, I don't approve of rash actions driven by anger for a woman. After all, as the commander of an army, the lives and safety of all soldiers are at stake. How can one disregard the entire army for personal matters? For example, take Wu Tianjiao. If he doesn't return alive from our Iron Dragon City, then the Fengcheng power he painstakingly built will have been lost. Wouldn't that be like doing all the work for someone else?"
Hearing this, Jin Changxu's expression hardened, and he frowned, "Father, we... really have to... take action against Wu Tianjiao?"
"What? You can't bring yourself to do it?"
Jin Ji said sternly, "He stole the princess and injured you. Don't you hate him?"
"Father, that's all in the past, please don't mention it!"
Jin Changxu said awkwardly, "I've thought it through, I understand now. The princess... she has no romantic feelings for me, it was all one-sided on my part. I even wonder, if Wu Tianjiao hadn't appeared, would the princess have married me?"
Jin Ji nodded slightly, approvingly saying, "It's good that you understand. There are countless women in this world, how can you let romantic feelings cloud your judgment for a woman? Xu'er, a good man should have ambitions beyond his station. As long as you have enough power, you'll have everything, why would you be afraid of not having women?"
"With enough power, I'll have everything!"
Jin Changxu murmured to himself, his expression solemn, and carefully asked, "Father, what do you mean by 'enough power'?"
"Of course, it's military power and political power!"
Jin Ji said solemnly, "Xu'er, now that the Shura people have invaded, the capital is in imminent danger. Based on my guess, even if the empire survives this calamity, it will inevitably be severely weakened. Then, in the near future..."
He pointed to the land outside the city, adopting a commanding posture, and declared loudly, "On this northern land, war will surely break out again. Various forces will fight to the death for territory, rivers of blood will flow. As long as my son and I seize the opportunity and take the initiative, we will surely gain a foothold. Then, our Jin family will have everything! Xu'er, then you can have any kind of woman you want. Even if all the women in the entire Han Hai Prefecture lined up for you to choose from, it wouldn't be impossible!" *
Sigh!* Jin Changxu gasped, his face paling. He exclaimed in horror, "Father, you mean…..."
He glanced around, noticing the soldiers were far away, and said hesitantly, "Father, you mean…we'll take their place!"
Jin Ji nodded slightly. "Why not? How could we let such a golden opportunity slip by!"
"But…"
Jin Changxu said worriedly, "His Highness…"
"His Highness!"
Jin Ji sneered. "He went to Snow Dragon City. Do you think he'll return to Iron Dragon City alive?"
Ah! Jin Changxu was shocked and exclaimed in horror, "Father, could it be that you..."
"Shut up!"
Jin Ji glared at him and said in a deep voice, "Changxu, the most important thing for a man to achieve great things is to be ruthless and not have the mercy of a woman. As the saying goes, 'No poison, no man.' If the Eagle King is not eliminated, we father and son will always be his subordinates, unable to turn things around or achieve anything great!"
Jin Changxu was stunned, staring at his father with astonishment in his eyes, as if looking at a stranger. He couldn't believe that his father had such rebellious thoughts, that he actually... plotted to kill the Eagle King?
"Sigh!" Seeing his son's horrified expression, Jin Ji couldn't help but sigh. He patted his shoulder and said gently, "Xu'er, you are my son. You should understand that I'm doing this for your own good. Now that Iron Dragon City is in our hands, as long as we, father and son, work together, there's nothing we can't do..." As he was speaking, suddenly, a series of rapid hoofbeats,
"clatter clatter clatter..." came from the plains outside the city. The sound was dense and loud, especially clear in the night! Whoosh—the soldiers on the city wall blew their horns, and a squadron of air force knights on standby immediately mounted their griffins and took to the sky to conduct aerial reconnaissance over the plains ahead. A soldier rushed to the city wall and reported to Jin Ji, "General, someone is approaching Iron Dragon City!" "He's here!" Jin Changxu frowned, looking out of the city. "He...he really is here!" Jin Ji also looked at the plains outside the city, his eyes narrowing into slits, a cold glint in them. He sneered, "You arrogant brat, you certainly have guts! He actually dared to come! Last time he escaped the Prince's blade, this time, I'll see how he escapes from my blade, Jin Ji's blade!"
