Chapter 1:

When I entered Xiaoqi's room, I saw him diligently practicing his swordsmanship. He was very happy to see me. "Brother-in-law,

did you come to teach me other martial arts? I really want to learn a set of fist techniques. You know, I only know swordsmanship. If someone fights me

bare-handed , I might lose."

Hearing his analysis, I suddenly became excited and forgot about the unpleasantness of the truce between Shu'er and the others earlier. "Okay, how about I teach you Wudang Tai Chi?

My Tai Chi is different from Wudang's. I've changed some of the techniques. You have to learn it carefully. In the future, you can defeat people even with your bare hands."

Murong Xiaoqi was very happy and pulled me along. "Okay, brother-in-law, I want to learn! I want to learn this! Teach me quickly!"

I sighed at his eagerness and found it very amusing. I calmly began to teach him. "Kid, watch carefully. First, calm your mind for your brother-in-law.

Tai Chi is about using stillness to control movement." I said with dissatisfaction when I saw his eager appearance.

"I understand, brother-in-law. I'll calmly learn from you now,"

I said slowly. "Kid, follow me. Your mind is like gunpowder, your hands like bullets. A flash of inspiration, and even a bird can't escape. Your body is like a bowstring, your hands like arrows

. The bowstring twangs, and the bird falls—a miraculous feat. Your initial move is like lightning, faster than the blink of an eye. Your attack is like thunder, faster than the ear can cover. Left over, right over, left over; your hand

comes from within, falling forward. Power comes from your feet, rising like fire. When you step left, you must advance right; when you step right, you must advance left. When you step, your heel touches the ground first, your toes

must grip the ground, your steps must be steady, your body must be dignified. When you strike, withdraw your hand, and when you strike, form a fist."

Seeing that the kid was learning so well, I was happy and continued to teach him how to continue. The next move: "The breath should be evenly distributed, and the body should be the master of movement;

neither greedy nor hesitant, neither too close nor too distant. The fist originates from the heart, propelled by the body; when one limb moves, the whole body follows; when one bends, the whole body bends; when one stretches, the whole body stretches

; stretch to the fullest extent, bend to the fullest extent. Like a tightly rolled cannonball, bursting with power."

Seeing him tense up, I knew he was learning with complete concentration. "Kid, don't be nervous. I'm not a tiger. If

you don't learn well, I won't eat you. Relax a little. Learning this style of boxing requires the whole body to be relaxed."

Murong Xiaoqi obediently relaxed. "Brother-in-law, what are the next moves? Please continue teaching me."

"Damn it, are you crazy? It's so late, and you still need your brother-in-law to teach you? You should practice what I taught you today first. I'm about

to have a mental breakdown. First, I lost money, and then I made my beloved woman cry. I've had a terrible day today." I sighed and groaned.

"Brother-in-law, do you really like my sister?" Murong Xiaoqi asked with great concern.

"Damn it, you little brat, your brother-in-law isn't a devil. I wouldn't treat your sister badly. Besides, your sister is so strong and has such a strong personality,

how not like her?" I could sense the admiration this kid had for me, but I knew I wasn't a good role model for him. It seemed I had to find an opportunity

to guide him slowly, otherwise, Tingyu would definitely be angry.

"Alright, you little devil, go to bed now. I'm so sleepy." I went to bed to rest in a huff.

Murong Xiaoqi also obediently went to bed with me. I watched Murong Xiaoqi fall asleep. I hadn't gotten used to it yet; it used to

be so nice to have Shu'er and the others in my arms.

The more I thought about it, the more excited I became, and I couldn't fall asleep at all. Suddenly, I heard footsteps tumbling in the air. I quickly got up to investigate.

After leaving the house, I rushed towards the direction of the sound. In the nearby woods, I saw a masked old woman

talking to Granny Wang, a protector of the Heartless Palace.

I recognized her because she was Jiaren's protector and an obstacle to my approach to her. "Granny Wang, the Master sent you there. Did you retrieve the jade pendant from your young

master ?" the old woman questioned sternly.

"Please grant me a few more days, Master. The young master has been with Fairy Miaoshou the whole time; I haven't had a chance to take it." Granny Wang seemed terrified

of the person addressed as "Master," her whole body trembling.

"Then you'd better hurry up and make your move. The master plans to wipe the Heartless Palace out of the martial arts world when the martial arts tournament begins. If you want to blame someone, blame Mo

Wushuang for humiliating the master back then." The old man's voice was extremely cold, and his eyes revealed murderous intent.

"Damn it, it was just humiliation, not killing. There's no need to wipe out her entire palace! No way, if my future mother-in-law is bullied, wouldn't that

prove I'm utterly useless? Looks like I'll have to be more careful this time." I pondered in the tree.

Seeing Granny Wang leave, I didn't disturb them, but simply sprinkled a faint fragrance on the old man that he couldn't detect.

I used the ethereal "Divine Form and Shadow" movement technique, and while the old man wasn't paying attention, he would definitely think it was just a leaf touching him.

It was already late at night when I got back to my lodgings. I lay in bed, pondering how to deal with the situation. If this was just the beginning, then

many drawn in. The martial arts tournament would prevent them from paying attention to their own people, and they might even

attack their strongholds while they were away. For a martial artist without a home, he could only be called a wandering swordsman.

The more I thought about it, the more alarmed I became. "Damn, could they have also done this to my wife's Lingfei Fortress? If so, I'll settle

all the old and new scores this time." I was thinking of a solution in bed when I didn't expect to sit there until dawn.

"Brother-in-law, why are you up so early? It's just getting light!" Murong Xiaoqi looked at me in surprise as I woke up.

I was also disturbed by him. "Kid, can't your brother-in-law get up earlier? I still need to teach you martial arts! Get up now." "

Yes, brother-in-law, you should teach me all the fist techniques today!" Murong Xiaoqi looked at me pitifully.

"No, you'd better practice the boxing techniques from last night until you're completely proficient, or your brother-in-law won't teach you." I said sternly to him.

"Brother-in-law, please teach me, please teach me." Murong Xiaoqi pleaded with me.

"Damn it, this trick only works on me, only women. What are you doing here? Go practice your skills, I have things to do.

You practice first, I'll check you this afternoon. If you slack off, I won't teach you." He was quite pitiful after being threatened like this.

Murong Xiaoqi went to the training room to practice reluctantly, while I went to find Defu to handle some matters.

Chapter Two

"What? There's a traitor in the Heartless Palace? Someone wants to wipe the Heartless Palace out of the martial arts world?" He Xiangwan looked at me in surprise. "Husband, don't

joke like that. You asked them to post announcing the cancellation of this martial arts tournament. Although everyone in the martial arts world listens to my opinion, making such a hasty decision is..."

"If it's just a matter of numbers, they'll be dissatisfied. Besides, some of them have already arrived, and some are still on their way. There's nothing we can do."

After listening to He Xiangwan's analysis, I knew she was helpless too. To make such a big decision, only the abbot of Shaolin Temple, Master Zhikong,

the leader of Wudang, Master Zixu, and Abbess Mingxin of Emei, plus my precious He Xiangwan, would have the authority. That's why we're

holding this martial arts conference to elect a martial arts leader.

"Damn it, it seems I'll have to personally take action this time and wipe out that mysterious organization's entire territory in Jiangsu." I slammed my fist on the table

angrily .

"Husband, don't get so angry. If Linglong knew how you were behaving, she would feel very guilty. What you've

done will arouse public outrage in Jiangsu. You also know that massacring people without evidence will cause a nationwide upheaval. You

should and be a fair and just prince." Chang Nonghuan handed me a cup of tea and said.

"Damn, you idiot, do you think your husband is really stupid? That group wants the token on the young master of the Heartless Palace to control that very clever

master. As long as you help that lovely girl keep the jade pendant safe, I guarantee I'll find out about that organization's stronghold in Jiangsu within a month, with evidence

." I sipped my tea with a wicked grin.

The two women rolled their eyes at me. "Husband, are you willing to give up your love nest?" Chang Nonghuan teased me sweetly.

"Sigh, I don't want to either, but I'm a man, and men live to protect women. Of course, to prevent my beloved

woman crying and being heartbroken, I have an obligation and a need to give up my own interests. There will be plenty of opportunities to enjoy the love nest later." I leisurely

played with my teacup.

The two women glared at me at the same time. "Husband, can you be serious for once? Haven't you noticed that Sister Xiao is a little disgusted by your

behavior ?" He Xiangwan said with some concern.

"Damn, of course I know. This is just my personality. It's hard to change my behavior for a woman. As the saying goes,

'It's easier to change mountains and rivers than to change one's nature.' Your husband has lived like this for twenty years. If I changed, do you think Shu'er and the others would be very

uncomfortable?" My words did make them think.

"Alright, your task is to keep an eye on Granny Wang and prevent her from contacting the lovely ladies. I'll tell Shu'er and the others that I'm

leaving for a while. You two take good care of yourselves. I still want to marry you." I got up and left, and my words made the two women

nod sadly in agreement.

When I told Shu'er the situation, her heart trembled. "Husband, are you really not taking them with you?" Shu'er asked with red eyes.

"You silly girl, I'm going to handle some business, not go on a trip. You stay here and rest well with Yuwei and the others. I hope

you can get pregnant with my child when I come back." My words made Shu'er look at me in surprise.

Recalling the night before last, they had all been mistreated by their husband. He had drunk too much that day and was extremely agitated; alcohol can cloud judgment, and that saying is

absolutely true. No wonder he forbade them to go with him.

"Husband, please be careful. Yuwei and the others are waiting for you to come back." Shu'er was tidying my things. I knew she was upset,

so I hugged her and kissed her cheek with a sigh.

"Husband knows you're unhappy. I used to take you everywhere I went, but you know this situation is special. I don't want

anyone to hurt you. You are my treasures." I looked at her, who was already crying, with heartache and kissed away her tears.

"Husband, please go and tell Yuwei and the others, so they won't blame you." Shu'er finished tidying my clothes and handed them to the maids beside her . She

then went with me to see Yuwei and the others.

At that moment, Yuwei and Hanying were playing chess together, while the other women watched from the side. Seeing their contentment, I knew I could bring them happiness.

When they saw me arrive, they smiled and glanced at me. "My darlings, I'll be away for a few days, please don't blame me."

I smiled at them.

Their smiles vanished at my words. "My darling, where are you going? Take us with you! We don't want you to leave!"

Yuwei threw herself into my arms, refusing to listen.

"My darlings, I have things to take care of, not a trip. You stay home and play chess, chat, and compose couplets with Shu'er and Hanying . If you have time, we can even go to Suzhou together. I'll be back soon." I hugged her tightly, feeling a headache coming

on seeing the other women on the verge of tears . 　　"Damn it, please, my darlings, I'm only going for a month, I'll be back soon." I couldn't take it anymore. If this continued, I might very well decide not to go. 　　"Alright, let's let my darlings go without worry! But you have to promise us you won't be unfaithful, you can't touch any other woman." Ji Qingran gave me an ultimatum. 　　"What a clever woman," Shu'er couldn't help but admire her wisdom. The other women nodded in agreement, and I reluctantly nodded in agreement as well. 　　"Damn, alright, I agree. It's my first time leaving you all, so you might be a little unaccustomed to it, but you'll get used to it." 　　My words drew objections from Qin Xin. "How many more times will my husband go? Won't he make me worry?" 　　I smiled awkwardly. "My husband was just joking, don't take it seriously. But you must all be safe, and don't make my husband worry." 　　I gave their bellies a wicked look. 　　By the time Shu'er understood, I had already left. "Brother Yu, you know my personality. Tell my husband to gamble less and absolutely not to go to brothels. Shu'er has made a request of him this time." Shu'er instructed in front of everyone. 　　Yu Xuanzi looked at me in surprise, and I nodded in agreement. He also promised to be careful. When we left, the lovely Mo Linglong and the gentle Tang Wan'er came to see me off. 　　I gave He Xiangwan a wink, and she nodded knowingly, indicating that I could rest assured. 　　Yu Xuanzi and I rode away, the women watching me until the end of the road. Chapter Three. 　　"Your Highness, you asked us to investigate. The person with such pollen on his body is just a minor steward in Jianchang Prefecture. Weixia Manor is the residence of a wealthy family, so it's inconvenient for us to investigate. Please forgive us, Your Highness." Chasaha answered me very clearly. 　　Jianchang Prefecture is located 360 li northwest of the provincial capital. According to the Ming system, it governs five counties. Within the southern city is Gaokong Mountain, to the east is Lian Mountain; to the west is Yungai; to the northeast is Baima; to the southwest is Magu Mountain, bordering the Jianchang River. 120 li southeast of the prefecture is Ri Mountain to the west; Fu Mountain to the south; and Feiling to the east. Hongshui River is to the southwest of the prefecture.

Ling, from which the Litan River originates, is also known as Zhongchuan. Feishui, also known as Dongchuan, originates from Shanling in Jiyuan and flows down to Zhouhu. Long'an River, also known as Xichuan, originates from Huixian Peak, flows

northeast , and joins the Litan River. The towns of Shixia, Long'an, and Wufu are 120 li south of the prefecture.

Linjiang enters from Guangchang, joins Quxi and Saxi on the left, and Jiuju River on the right, runs south and east through the city, joins Mancao Lake, Shuanggang, and Zigang, and enters the south city, reaching

the towns of Panzhou, Huangsha, Baishe, Longchi, and Xianju. 240 li south of the prefecture is a very famous stream, Shangqing Stream, next to which is Luxi

Town.

"Master, I asked you to send experts to Miao territory. Have you sent them? I don't want anything to happen to my mother-in-law," I

asked .

"Your Highness, rest assured, I have already sent people and written a letter to the governor there, instructing him to protect everyone in Jueqing Palace," Chasaha

replied smugly, seemingly believing he had handled it well.

Following the route he had arranged, Yu Xuanzi and I hurriedly headed in the direction we were supposed to be.

"Master, you're really serious this time. You've never been this serious even when we were fighting," Yu Xuanzi teased me from the side.

"Damn it, if your in-laws' house were to be destroyed, I'd like to see if you'd still be in the mood to be happy. I already have

one in-law whose house has been destroyed. If another one is destroyed, I won't be able to get a wife, and I'll lose all face," I cursed under my breath.

"This is the result of your boss's lustful behavior. You can't blame anyone else. Boss, how do you plan to investigate?" Yu Xuanzi asked me the crucial

question .

"Damn it, you've only said one sensible thing now. I have a brilliant plan. Just wait and see the show," I smiled wickedly,

excited about the plan I had in mind.

We discussed who the mastermind was along the way, and didn't even notice that it was already dark. We arrived at a market and prepared

to find an inn to stay in.

"Sir, there are seats inside, please come in. Our inn offers the best service and has excellent rooms to ensure your satisfaction." The waiter

hurriedly came out to greet us as we approached their inn.

It would be a loss not to invite such a wealthy young master in. We dismounted and entered the Yue Lai Inn. It was full of merchants. I glanced around

briefly before heading upstairs to my room.

I rested for a moment in a clean, excellent room. The room was simply furnished: a large carved bed with

a , several teacups, and a teapot. There was also a bathing area nearby, very convenient.

"Boss, we should go down for dinner. I've reserved a good table, boss, hurry up!" Yu Xuanzi urged from outside.

"Damn it, can't I even rest for a bit? What's with the rush? I'm not pregnant and about to give birth!" I

cursed as I opened the door.

"Boss, you know it's peak dining time right now. If we don't eat quickly, there might not even be any seats left." He was speaking

eloquently , while I kept cursing him from behind.

"Damn it, enough already. You're so long-winded, and you still have women who want you? You're quite an anomaly." I sighed at his talking

skills If I had known it would be like this, I would have called Leng Bing; at least I could have some peace and quiet.

"Boss, see, I told you so! There are so many people. Look, the waiter has even brought us the dishes." I impatiently walked to the empty table where

the dishes were served sat down.

"Damn it, talk less and eat more. You talk so much even while eating. Are you trying to kill us? I don't even want to eat anymore." I

looked at his nagging with annoyance.

"Sorry, boss, I'm used to being with Xiao Mei. You're a genius, boss. You won't get angry over such a small thing. Let's eat."

Yu Xuanzi obediently ate his food. If he angered me, nothing good would come of it.

As I ate, I observed the people around me. What amused me most was a grandmother and granddaughter. The old lady was dressed in simple clothes, her head full of silver hair and her face

covered in wrinkles, showing how much hardship she had endured.

What amused me was the granddaughter, dressed in fine silks and satins, but her hair was disheveled, and her face was covered in layers of rouge, making her look rather unpleasant.

I didn't know if she did it on purpose or what, but what amused me was that her mannerisms were those of a child; even her meals

were being fed by her grandmother.

"Eldest son, what are you looking at? Why are you so happy? Did you see another beautiful woman? Sister Shu'er repeatedly emphasized that I'm not allowed to have any other

women ." Yu Xuanzi's nagging started again.

Good heavens, how could this man who looks like a woman be alive in this world? Can't he just shut up? "Damn it, shut up!

When have I ever failed to keep my promise to Shu'er? Be a man, okay? Stop nagging." I finished my last bite

and went upstairs.

Seeing me leave, Yu Xuanzi also put down his chopsticks and followed me upstairs. "Boss, I'm just talking a little more than before. Please be magnanimous and

don't get angry. I'll shut up."

He followed me into the room. "Damn it, one woman has you completely under her thumb. Do you think you'll ever get ahead?" I

teased him.

"Boss, I know you're amazing, but then again, if we didn't only want one woman, would you still have the chance to have so many

women?" he retorted.

"Damn, you're actually applying what you've said to others. It seems that woman has had a big influence on you. That's a good sign; you're much smarter than before."

I said, subtly praising him.

"Boss, I can't argue with you, but I can go to sleep. Boss, don't have insomnia tonight. Everyone knows you can't

sleep without a woman to hug." He teased me brazenly as he closed the door.

Damn it, I don't believe it. I can't live without women. Yu Xuanzi wasn't wrong; I really did have insomnia. Without women, I

could n't sleep well. It seemed I was only suited to be a lecherous flower-picking emperor.

Just as I was pondering how to get to Weixia Manor, about to drift off to sleep, I suddenly heard a commotion.

"Madam Zhang, my master hasn't mistreated you, why are you running away?" A group of people shouted from next door.

"Damn it, I was finally about to fall asleep, who's got a death wish, disturbing my sweet dreams?" I angrily stormed out the door,

where a group of servants stood before me.

The eldest said, "Where did this brat come from? He's got a death wish, daring to interfere in the Nangong family's affairs." Seeing those fierce-looking men, and then

looking at the trembling master and grandson, I was filled with rage.

"Damn it, what is the Nangong family? I don't care about them! I'm going to take care of things today!" I cursed the Nangong family and my master...

"I have a grudge, but I haven't interfered, which is already giving your young lady a lot of face. Today, I'm going to meddle in your business.

" "Boy, you'd better leave, or you'll get a beating..." Before the man could finish speaking, Yu Xuanzi, who had appeared behind me at some point,

slapped him twice.

"Bastard, how dare you speak to our boss like that? Even your master Nangong doesn't have that kind of guts," Yu Xuanzi

said arrogantly.

Chapter Four

"Damn, are the Nangong family so great? I'm giving your master face by letting you leave. Don't make me

angry , or you'll have to bear the consequences yourselves," I said seriously from the side.

The group didn't expect a sudden intervention. Before we could react, the older servant thrust his sword at his granddaughter. "

Miss, be careful!" The old woman was already blocking the young lady's way.

I rushed over, but the old woman was already beyond saving. I cursed my own incompetence.

"Damn it, you provoked me first today, and I'll make you pay the price." I glanced wickedly at the elder, whose sword

was still dripping blood. He saw my smile and had a bad feeling.

I gave Yu Xuanzi a wink, and he hurried off to the yamen.

"Today, none of you are leaving. Whoever leaves will go to see the King of Hell first. If you don't believe me, you can try." I smiled at them,

and the group of fools obediently didn't move. The granddaughter, who had been terrified, finally reacted.

"Grandma, no... don't throw Xin Diudiu..." she stammered incoherently.

"Miss, my poor Miss, the only lifeline of the Shangguan family, I have no power to protect you anymore. What will you do in the future?" The old woman cried

sadly .

My heart ached a little, and I bowed, saying, "Madam, please entrust your young lady to me! I won't let anyone harm her."

"Young master, you're a good person, thank you. But the young lady's background is a menace in the martial world. She carries

the hatred of all the sects. Back then, all the sects, for their own benefit, killed the entire Shangguan family of over three hundred people. The young lady

escaped but she suffered brain damage from a fever, making her practically useless. Young master, you can't help our young lady.

Otherwise, you'll get into trouble too," the old woman explained.

"Damn it, I'm not afraid! What are the Nangong family? Just hand her over to me, and I guarantee she'll have enough to eat and wear, and I guarantee her

safety for life," I said with boundless pride.

"Young brother, thank... thank... Miss... you must... listen to... him... he'll be your... husband from now on. Miss,

do you remember... what I said? Remember..." I watched the old woman walk past the last section of the road.

"Grandma, Xin...Xin, be good...get up...get up." The girl said in a clear, childlike voice.

I noticed something interesting; this girl's intelligence was at a child's level.

"Make way! The government is carrying out its duties; don't block our way." Yu Xuanzi arrived with the government officials.

"Men, arrest all the murderers from the Nangong family!" The head constable said arrogantly. Damn it, we've suffered

enough from the Nangong family; this time, I'll pay them back with interest.

This group of people didn't understand why the government officials dared to oppose the Nangong family today. "Are you crazy? If you arrest us, our master won't

let you get away with it!"

"Hmph, daring to threaten the government, that's an even greater crime! Come on! Take them all to the government office!" The constables swarmed forward and took everyone

back to the government office.

"Boss, you're so impressive! You actually had a moment of kindness and saved a little girl." Yu Xuanzi, not seeing

the koala , said happily.

"Damn it, come help me pull this woman away from me!" I shouted helplessly.

"Sorry, boss, you asked for this, we can't help you." Yu Xuanzi shrugged and smiled as he left.

It seemed he was very happy that I had an ugly woman on me. "Damn it, I remember, if you need anything, don't worry, I'll be the first to stand by

and do nothing ." I angrily carried this low-IQ woman into the room.

"Young master, what should we do with this old woman? We're an inn, we need to do business." The innkeeper whispered to me.

"Damn it, take this, find a good coffin, buy a burial plot, and bury this woman. We're going to pay our respects tomorrow."

I pulled out a five-hundred-tael silver note and gave it to him.

The innkeeper immediately shut up and stepped aside to let me into the room. "Boss, bring me some hot water, I need to give this woman

a bath ." I said after entering the room.

"Yes, yes... I'll bring it right away." The innkeeper hurriedly went downstairs to give the order. The onlookers didn't say much and went to their rooms to sleep.

After entering the room, I realized how wonderful the woman in my arms was; her softness made me reluctant to let her

off.

It wasn't until the waiter brought hot water and I started bathing her that I realized my judgment was wrong. Not only me, but probably even the Nangong family

would regret it.

The beauty in my arms had flawless, translucent skin and an exquisite face, even Chang Nonghuan couldn't compare. Her adorable expression

pleased me. But what angered me was the many faint whip marks on her body. I was certain someone from the Nangong family had whipped her.

"Damn, I've found a treasure! This is truly a gem! Old man Nangong, if he knew he'd lost such a beauty, he'd be

furious!" I laughed heartily.

"Husband, laugh some more, and Xin Xin will laugh too. Husband must make Xin Xin happy," the beauty said,

smiling .

"You should be happy too. Tell your husband who did these injuries to you." I let her swim in the water by herself, afraid I

wouldn't be able to control my desires and would take advantage of this stunning beauty.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I mentioned it, the beauty panicked and tried to burrow into my arms. "Xin Xin is scared, husband must protect Xin Xin." I

held her tenderly in my arms. "Don't be afraid, husband will protect you. Tell your husband, and husband will beat him up for you." I

said .

"It was the young master. He hit Xin Xin when he was drinking. Xin Xin is in so much pain." I could feel her trembling. "

Don't be afraid, husband is here. Husband will protect you." My words made her hug me even tighter. I smiled, feeling her trust in me.

My ambition as a man made me decide to cure her illness no matter what.

"Mother-in-law says that in this world, only my husband will truly love Xin Xin." She was actually drawing circles on my chest! Good heavens, if she keeps going like this,

I'll commit a crime!

"Xin Xin, tell your husband, what's Xin Xin's name?" I can't possibly not even know my own wife's name!

"Xin Xin, my name is Shangguan Xin. Mother-in-law likes to call me Xin Xin." She answered obediently. "Then, from now on, husband, you'll be called Xin Xin, Xin'er, okay?"

I couldn't resist kissing her face several times.

"Okay, husband will be called Xin'er." She said happily.

"Then, Xin'er, how about going to sleep?" I suggested. My beloved nodded obediently, hugged me tightly, and fell asleep in my arms.

That night, I slept very well. Heaven is fair; it allowed me to find the best person in the world.

The next day, while my beloved and I were still dreaming, an incongruous sound woke us up.

"Boss, the sun's high in the sky, we should get going, boss?" Yu Xuanzi was yelling outside, as if he wouldn't give up until he woke me up

.

"Damn it, what are you yelling about? I finally got a good night's sleep, you don't have to scream like your mother died." I said as I

dressed .

Shangguan Xin, who was on top of me, didn't seem to be awake. "Husband, help Xin'er get dressed." She smiled and hugged me.

I looked at her mischievously. "Then, Xin'er will kiss husband a few times, and husband will help Xin'er get dressed." I teased.

"How? Kiss? Is it like this?" After saying that, she kissed my face a few times, just like I kissed her yesterday, which made me laugh out loud.

"My darling, okay, if you keep kissing me, I'll eat you for breakfast. Let's go have breakfast, okay?" After I

dressed , I was about to comb her hair when I was surprised that the beauty could comb her hair.

"Husband, sit down, Xin Xin wants to comb your hair." After she finished combing my hair, she pulled me down to sit and began braiding it.

"Xin'er, tell your husband, who taught you this?" After she finished, I held her in my lap and said with a smile.

"It was Grandma. Grandma said I should learn to comb hair and help my husband comb his hair." She smiled and hugged me.

"Eldest brother, are you done yet? I've been waiting outside for a long time." Yu Xuanzi's voice was already impatient.

"Damn it, why don't you go downstairs and wait first! Give me some peace and quiet, okay?" I held Shangguan Xin and let her open the door.

Yu Xuanzi didn't look at me directly at first, but when he saw the stunning beauty in my arms, his eyes almost popped out of his head in surprise. "Eldest brother,

she, she is..."

"Damn it, don't scare my darling with those lecherous eyes. Xin'er, ignore him, let's go have breakfast." I carried Shangguan Xin

and walked past the still-standing Yu Xuanzi.

If there's one thing that's most captivating about Shangguan Xin, it's the cinnabar mole between her eyebrows. That celestial beauty, so exquisite,

drew everyone's attention from the moment I carried her downstairs.

Shangguan Xin seemed completely unconcerned, simply playing with her braids in my arms. "Sir, what would you like for breakfast? I'll have

it prepared." The innkeeper was a shrewd man; someone who could alarm the authorities and command their obedience must be a powerful figure.

Taking good care of me was definitely not a bad thing.

"Xin'er, tell your husband what you want to eat?" I smiled at her.

"Xin'er wants steamed buns, steamed buns are delicious!" she said sweetly.

"Alright, innkeeper, prepare a few baskets of steamed buns, and brew a pot of the finest Biluochun tea." I helped her sit down, ignoring the lecherous men around us

, letting her continue playing.

"Boss, isn't she the girl you rescued yesterday?!" Yu Xuanzi's loud voice startled Shangguan Xin, causing her to burrow into my arms,

trembling .

"Damn it, can't you keep your voice down? Look how scared you've made Xin'er. Be good, Xin'er, don't be afraid, your husband is here." I

scolded the man who acted like a woman while coaxing the beauty.

Shangguan Xin sat up comfortably, hugged my neck, and kissed me a few times on the cheek. "Husband, Xin'er's bag is here. Xin'er will feed you

a bag." Her childish words made all the men gasp. Good heavens, why is this rare beauty acting like an idiot?

"Okay, Xin'er will feed you, but Xin'er has to eat her fill first." I smiled wickedly and kissed her crystal-clear face

several more times, making the beauty laugh.

"Husband, it tickles, hehe...hehe...I want to eat a bag." I said while resisting, and I smiled as I held the freshly served bun

in front of her.

"Husband, good, good, Xin'er likes you, husband." She smiled and kissed me a few times, the sound making all the men sigh.

Even couldn't bear to watch.

"Boss, then you two should be a little more restrained. This is a public place," he said softly, trying not to frighten the beauty.

"Damn it, so many demands. Alright, hurry up and eat! We still have a day's journey ahead, and we'll reach our destination tomorrow." I handed the tea I had brought

to Shangguan Xin. She smiled and took a few sips, then picked up a steamed bun and fed me. Sometimes I would unintentionally put her hand in my mouth and suck on it a few times.

Whether it was a physiological reaction or she had some awareness of the relationship between men and women, her face turned red with embarrassment. "Husband, drink the tea, it's delicious." She brought the teacup

to my lips and made me drink.

I obediently drank the tea. The level of affection between the couple made all the men present beat their chests and regret not stepping forward sooner.

Such a beautiful fairy had been given away to someone else.

After we finished eating, at the owner's suggestion, we paid our respects to Shangguan Xin's wet nurse. "Wet nurse, don't worry, although I'm a rogue,

I keep my word when it comes to women. I will take good care of Xin'er." I said, glancing at Shangguan Xin, who was clinging tightly to me.

"Xin'er, say goodbye to Grandma, she's asleep." I smiled at her.

"Grandma, sleep well, Xin'er, your husband loves you, your husband is good, help Xin'er get dressed, Xin'er will be good and help your husband braid his hair." Shangguan Xin's words

left Yu Xuanzi completely bewildered, looking at me strangely.

"Damn, you're such an idiot. She means that the wet nurse should rest, and now that I love her, she will do what a wife should do." I

translated Shangguan Xin's words for him.

Yu Xuanzi nodded in understanding. "Boss, you're really amazing, you can even understand such difficult words." He said with a hint of admiration.

"Damn, this is called telepathy. After I finish dealing with Mo Linglong's matter, I will cure her illness." I

said , then carried her onto the horse and rushed to Weixia Manor in Jianchang Prefecture.

Chapter Five

Just as I finished dealing with the matters at Weixia Manor in Jianchang Prefecture and rushed back to Zixuan Pavilion, a commotion broke out at the Nangong family on the other side.

"What did you say? The government has imprisoned Zhu Yi and his group, saying they killed someone. Don't they know they are from the Nangong family?"

Nangong Taiji angrily said to the person who came.

"Master, we told them, but the government said they have offended someone difficult to deal with this time. Even the constables in the yamen said they are handling

official business impartially how powerful the Nangong family is, they can't compare to the power around the emperor in the capital. So this time they will be exiled to the frontier." The servant

relayed the exact words.

"That guard has such great power that even the government officials have to treat him with deference." Nangong Taiji angrily slammed his fist on the table.

"Father, don't be so angry. The Shangguan family has long been without support. What ability does that idiot ugly woman have to stir up the entire martial arts world?"

Little Tai Sui Nangong Yun said while drinking tea. His expression showed that he didn't care about the lives of his servants at all, which made them

feel disgusted.

"That's right! Master, don't be angry. It's probably because Zhu Yi and his men killed someone, and that guard didn't like it, so he intervened."

The second wife beside Nangong Taiji said.

"What do you know? Wang Ming, tell me who that guard is." Although Nangong Taiji wasn't angry, he was still a little worried.

He was the one who planned the Longyun Fort incident back then. If Shangguan Xin hadn't died, she would have been a thorn in his side.

"Reporting to Master, it's a guard named Yu Xuanzi from Prince Gong's side. The officials said that he has

the token , so the officials are handling it according to the law. They also hope that the Nangong family will not kill people indiscriminately in the future." Wang Ming said softly, afraid of provoking his master's anger.

"Who is that Prince Gong? How could he gain the Emperor's trust so much?" Madam Nangong

said .

"What do you know, woman? Prince Gong is the Emperor's own brother. He was the first person to recommend the current Emperor. Even Heshen, who once held sway over the entire

court , was brought down by him, and his entire family was executed, all to avenge his father-in-law. You dare to criticize him? Do you want the entire Nangong family to be wiped out?"

Nangong Taiji rebuked.

"Father, isn't that man very lecherous? Just send him a few women, that'll do." Nangong Yun said arrogantly.

"You make it sound so easy. He wouldn't even look at ordinary women. Who do you think is more beautiful than Chang Nonghuan or He Xiangwan? Even

they are candidates for future princesses. Sending just ordinary women will only make us a laughingstock." Nangong Taiji said with a sigh.

"Father, what did you say? He Xiangwan and Chang Nonghuan are both women of that lecherous man. They are candidates for your future daughters-in-law."

Nangong Yun sat up straight and looked at Nangong Taiji.

"You brat, stop dreaming. You can't compare to that scoundrel prince. He may be lecherous, but that doesn't mean he lacks intelligence

. Anyone He Xiangwan takes a liking to must be exceptionally talented," Nangong Taiji scolded him.

"Father, don't underestimate your son. The Nangong family will surely flourish even more under my leadership," Nangong Yun said smugly.

"Master, if we send Bingxue to him as his princess, do you think he'll be tempted? Bingxue is a beautiful and refined woman,"

said .

"That's a good idea. Bingxue is of marriageable age," Nangong Taiji nodded in agreement.

"Father, I will not marry." Nangong Bingxue appeared in the hall at some unknown time. She was as cold and beautiful as a snow lotus on an iceberg. Beside her was

a woman with ethereal beauty whose eyes always sparkled. The two women were equally beautiful and had similar temperaments. No wonder she was Tong Yunyue, the daughter of the Wudang Sect Leader,

nicknamed "Rain-Solving Fairy."

"Bingxue, you are not young anymore..." Before the Second Madam of Nangong could finish speaking, Nangong Bingxue's voice rang out, "Second Madam

, Bingxue has her own plans for her life. There's no need for you to worry about it, and Father, don't interfere in my affairs." Her voice was so cold it was frightening.

"Master..." The Second Madam of Nangong pleaded with Nangong Taiji. Nangong Taiji knew his daughter's intelligence, and besides, she had Tong Yunyue by her side,

a woman who could read minds. He couldn't push her too hard.

"Daughter, if you don't want to, fine. Where did you go for fun today? It's been a long time since you visited Zixuan Pavilion. I heard that

Prince Gong has turned it into a second princely residence, and the women there are very likely to be his consorts." Nangong Taiji said "unintentionally."

"Father, if Xiang Wan knew you were talking about her like that, she would turn against the Nangong family." Nangong Bingxue said expressionlessly.

"Father only heard rumors from the martial arts world. You should go chat with Pavilion Master He when you have time. Don't think about martial arts all day. Your martial arts are already very high

. Even I am no match for you." Nangong Taiji said expressionlessly, but in his heart he was very angry and jealous that his

daughter would surpass him.

"Father, even if I'm skilled, I'm only on par with Tingyu. There are some of her abilities I haven't even witnessed yet," Nangong Bingxue said, pouring

cold water on his enthusiasm. "Daughter, I'm going to Zixuan Pavilion today; I'm just informing you."

"Then go! Apologize to Tingyu for me. Last time I accidentally insulted the Murong family, which angered her. Her skills have increased so quickly;

I can't even handle it," Nangong Taiji said, feigning kindness.

Hearing her father's words, Nangong Bingxue was genuinely surprised. Few people could catch her father's attention, yet Tingyu had managed to do so, even deliberately

provoking him. It seemed things weren't so simple.

"Father, don't worry, I'll apologize to Tingyu. Is there anything else you need? If not, I'm off." She turned and left

without giving Nangong Taiji any face.

"Master, look at her… she's so disrespectful to her elders," Nangong's second wife said coquettishly.

"Alright, you know Bingxue's temperament. If she weren't modifying my Bewildering Sword Technique, I wouldn't have let her be so

arrogant and presumptuous." Nangong Taiji's eyes flashed with murderous intent as he looked at his daughter.

"Sister Bing, you just angered your father." Tong Yunyue said after getting into the car with Nangong Bingxue.

"I know. If it weren't for Mother, I wouldn't want him as my father. Not only is he so heartless towards the Shangguan family, but he even uses his own

daughter for business. He's not my father." Nangong Bingxue's eyes grew even colder.

"Poor Xin'er, she's already quite foolish, and now she has to suffer outside." Tong Yunyue sighed.

"No, Xin'er is better off outside than in the Nangong family. At least she doesn't get whipped. I don't even dare let her see the whip. If I had known earlier... "

"I will definitely save her if my brother beats her." Nangong Bingxue's eyes flashed with shame.

"Sister Bingxue, don't feel guilty. We need to send people to look for her. I think we'll have news soon," Tong Yunyue

said wisely.

"Xiaoyue, you are really smart. You even know who I'm thinking of," Nangong Bingxue said gently.

Back then, the Shangguan, Nangong, and Murong families were old friends and would gather every year. The young ladies of the three families naturally played together. The most

beautiful girl back then wasn't Nangong Bingxue or Murong Tingyu, who were ranked on the beauty list, but Shangguan Xin. Although she was younger than them, her refined and elegant

beauty truly captivating. In addition, she was very intelligent, possessing a photographic memory; she could learn anything instantly.

But fate had other plans. When Shangguan Xin was ten, Longyun Fortress was wiped out of the martial arts world overnight, and the patriarch of the Murong family

died at the same time. The three great families lost two at once, and thus ceased all contact. Shangguan Xin, too, suffered brain

damage , and came to the Nangong family, living like a fool, her former beauty gone.

But in the hearts of the three girls, they would always be friends; the childhood friendship was irreplaceable.
