[Wuxia] Romantic Heroes and Erotic Tales (Complete) - 37

In Chapter Sixteen of Volume Fifteen,
Pang Han and Miao Qian had already planned ahead. They would first kill two newcomers, then disguise themselves as them and infiltrate the Azure Dragon Society. This way, they would remain undetected, and even if the Azure Dragon Society searched the entire world for them, they would find nothing, because the two were already hidden within the Azure Dragon Society. No matter how clever the leaders of the Azure Dragon Society were, they would never have imagined that Pang Han and Miao Qian would come up with such an idea.

At this moment, Pang Han was waiting for Miao Qian's return in his room. Bored, he took out the secret manual given to him by Ding Yishan and carefully examined it. This manual contained the essence of Ding Yishan's lifelong learning. The book had unique explanations of various martial arts and methods for cultivating internal energy. After reading a few chapters, Pang Han was filled with admiration. As long as he combined the internal energy taught by Ding Yishan with the manual, becoming a king in the martial arts world would not be difficult.

Pang Han seized the time and first practiced a miraculous healing skill called the Restoration Skill, which could quickly restore any damage to his body. As long as he practiced the skill properly, the injury to his ribs would heal quickly.

He was extremely excited. He sat in meditation and circulated his true energy through his body thirty-six times. A faint white mist rose from his head and lingered around his body for a long time. His powerful internal energy filled his body, surrounding him like a protective shield. The bones in his limbs creaked and groaned incessantly, as if he were being reborn.

After an unknown amount of time, Pang Han opened his eyes and saw Miao Qian already sitting in a chair, smiling at him. Pang Han smiled and said, "So you've been back for a while."

Miao Qian said, "I've been back for two hours and brought some food. I was waiting for you to eat with me, but it's all cold now."

Pang Han felt a warmth in his heart and nodded, "Thank you, sister. I was just practicing internal energy to heal my injuries, and I feel much better." Miao Qian hummed in agreement, came to him, and touched his Tanzhong acupoint. She felt that Pang Han's internal energy was abundant and nodded, "Not bad. Ding Yishan's internal energy cultivation is indeed extraordinary. Even your injuries have almost healed." Pang Han said, "Senior Ding was a renowned master in the martial arts world back then. His secret manual has indeed helped me a lot. Shouldn't you learn it too, sister?"

Miao Qian shook her head and said, "..." "No need for that. My kung fu is very different from what you've learned. If the techniques are different, we can't practice them together; they'll only conflict and cause trouble. You should learn Senior Ding's kung fu properly, and hopefully you'll achieve great success in the future."

Pang Han got off the ground, came to Miao Qian, and kissed her cherry lips, saying, "It's been so long, sister. I missed you so much." Miao Qian scolded, "How pathetic! I've only been gone a short time, and you're already like this. Hurry up and eat. I specially bought this from Zuixianju."

Pang Han went to the table and saw a food box on it. He opened it and saw four dishes, a soup, a few steamed buns, and a pot of liquor inside. He nodded and said, "It's very sumptuous. Thinking back to when I was down on my luck in the haystack, even a few steamed buns felt like a delicacy."

Miao Qian said, "This is what they call eating chaff when you're hungry and finding sweetness in it when you're full." "Even honey isn't sweet. When I was down on my luck, I was in far worse shape than you, but I still made it through. What are your past experiences compared to this? You've never truly suffered."

Pang Han picked up a steamed bun and took a bite, asking curiously, "Sister, can you tell me about your past? I'm very curious." Miao Qian also picked up a bite of food, chewed it, and swallowed it before saying, "You don't know, my past was very tragic. Are you really willing to hear it?" Pang Han said, "Sister and I are deeply in love, and you saved my life. What can't we talk about? I've even told you about my story with my master's wife. Shouldn't you tell me yours too?"

Miao Qian sighed and said, "Alright, then I'll tell you. Back then, my father was a wealthy landowner in Nanxiang. Although we weren't as rich as the nobility, we were still quite wealthy." "Fang, we had no worries about food and clothing, and my father was very generous to the poor around us. Whenever there was a famine, he would open his granaries to help the poor and set up soup kitchens to provide relief to the victims. He had a very good reputation. But for some reason, my father offended a group of bandits. One night, all seventy-eight members of our family were killed, including my three-year-old brother. Only I hid in the warm room and was not discovered. Later, a Taoist priest passed by and took me away from the jaws of death. He also taught me martial arts. Ten years later, I went to seek revenge on those bandits and killed them all. I burned the heads of the thirteen of them at the site of my old house, which was my revenge and fulfilled my wish. But I could never get rid of my bloodlust, so I had to become an assassin. You know what happened after that, so I don't need to tell you." She drank a large cup of wine, looking very distressed.

Pang Han toasted Miao Qian with a glass of wine. "Sister, there's no need to be so depressed. I know your past is tragic, and you don't want to be an assassin. As long as I'm here, we can definitely find a way to go to a secluded place where no one will bother us and live a life like immortals. What do you think?"

Miao Qian was moved by his words, her eyes filled with deep affection. She said, "I've thought about what you said before. I hope that day will come, but you have so many women around you. The day you meet them again will probably be the day we part."

Pang Han leaned in and embraced Miao Qian. "We are so in love. I want to grow old with you and spend my life together. Even if I have many beautiful women around me, I will never forget your kindness. I hope you won't mind being with the other sisters. As long as you are willing to be with everyone, everything will be fine."

Miao Qian responded passionately to Pang Han's kiss, panting, "I'm used to being alone. I'm afraid I'll have trouble being with them." "I won't come, but I'm willing to try. This might be my only chance to find happiness."

Pang Han smiled and said, "As long as you have this thought, there is hope. As long as we safely weather this storm, things will be easier in the future. I have several friends who are extremely wealthy women. They can live anywhere for the rest of their lives without any problem. Then we can live happily ever after, instead of living a life of constant danger like we do now."

Miao Qian sighed, "Your idea is good, and I admire it. But the future is unpredictable. I hope things will develop as optimistically as you do."

Pang Han peeled off her clothes, stroking her as he comforted her, "Don't worry, I, Pang Han, never fail to keep my promises. We'll talk about the future later. In short, I won't let you down." He and Miao Qian shared a passionate kiss, his hands already roaming all over her body. Miao Qian let out a soft moan of pleasure, her body trembling and burning hot. When Pang Han saw that the time had come, he didn't hesitate and immediately got to work. The two of them grappled together, shouting and screaming, their bodies steaming with white vapor, the bed creaking and rattling. Their fierce battle was truly earth-shattering.

Afterwards, Pang Han caressed her fragrant body and laughed, "Sister's skills have improved again, unlike before when you were so inexperienced." Miao Qian retorted, "You're saying such lewd things again. I'm a respectable woman, I don't know any such crooked positions. Don't corrupt me."

Pang Han chuckled mischievously, "But I feel that you seem more excited when you try those positions. Don't be hypocritical."

Miao Qian said, "You're just talking nonsense. I didn't do that. It was just that your movements were too vigorous, and I felt a little uncomfortable." Pang Han laughed, "Alright, then I won't use too much force from now on, I'll only touch you, how about that?" Miao Qian's face fell, "If you dare do that, I'll kill you. You have to give it your all when you're with me. If you can't satisfy me, I won't let you go."

Pang Han laughed loudly, "You said you weren't hypocritical, but what now? I just got a few words out of you, and you've already fallen into my trap."

Miao Qian blushed shyly, her eyes filled with boundless tenderness. Seeing her beautiful appearance, Pang Han couldn't help but lean forward and kiss her affectionately. The two were deeply in love, like mandarin ducks playing in the water, their affection incredibly strong. Just

as they were entwined, there was a knock at the door. Pang Han hurriedly put on his clothes, told Miao Qian to stay under the covers, and opened the door to see Hu Kui. He asked, "Senior, what can I do for you?"

Hu Kui smiled sheepishly and said, "I'm so sorry to disturb you both, but I have a new mission assigned to me, and I dare not delay, so..." As he spoke, he handed over a letter sealed with wax.

Pang Han took the letter, closed the door, melted the sealing wax with a candle, opened it, and exclaimed in surprise, "The Azure Dragon Society actually wants us to do this! Should we do it or not?"

Miao Qian took the letter and read it, saying, "It's just killing someone, what's the big deal? Of course we should do it! What are you worried about?"

Pang Han pondered, "Prince Ning once entrusted me with a task, which I haven't strictly completed yet. Now they want me to assassinate this person? That seems unreasonable."

Miao Qian laughed, "This is clearly the Azure Dragon Society making things difficult for newcomers." "We're newcomers, and they probably don't think we're very capable, yet they've entrusted us with such a big task. Clearly, they want to test our loyalty and courage. If we just pretend to be going through with the mission, I'm sure someone will try to stop us. Once the test is successful, nothing else will happen."

Pang Han gave a thumbs up, admiringly saying, "Sister, you're so clever! Thinking about it carefully, that makes sense. The Azure Dragon Society must be trying to test us. Since that's the case... " "Let's play along and outwit them,"

Miao Qian said. "We shouldn't underestimate the Azure Dragon Society's strength. They have many talented subordinates. If we're not extremely careful, this hurdle won't be easy to overcome. We need to be very cautious."

Pang Han took off his clothes again and got into bed, embracing Miao Qian. He laughed and said, "Alright, let's play around first, relax, and then think about important things." Miao Qian scolded, "When will you grow up? You're still like a big child, so carefree. I really don't know...

"
"How can anyone else tolerate you?" Pang Han laughed. "That makes it sound like I'm so bored. Actually, even though you say that, haven't you already agreed with it? Life is only a few decades long. If you don't enjoy yourself to the fullest, time will pass quickly. When you're old and can't move, you'll definitely regret not having had more fun when you were young." Miao Qian said, "You're just spouting nonsense. Not a single word of yours is serious."

Pang Han laughed. "So what if you say nonsense? We should enjoy ourselves while we can." As he spoke, he was about to pounce on her again. Miao Qian pushed him away, put on her clothes, and scolded, "Stop fooling around, let's get down to business. I'm sure there are quite a few Azure Dragon Society members watching us right now, we need to get out of here quickly and show them what we're made of." Pang Han could only grumble as he got up. The two of them quickly tidied themselves up, picked up their weapons, and went out the door. Pang Han cupped his hands to Hu Kui and said, "Senior, my wife and I are going to finish our mission. If anything happens, we hope you can notify our family."

Hu Kui didn't show much surprise on his face, he just nodded and said, "Alright, you two go quickly. If there are any difficulties, will the Azure Dragon Society just stand by and do nothing?" Miao Qian nodded to Hu Kui, but didn't say anything. She just solemnly pulled Pang Han out the door.

Once outside the town, Pang Han whispered, "Judging from this, he doesn't seem to intend to stop us. Perhaps you're mistaken, sister." Miao Qian replied, "Don't be impatient. We'll walk another ten miles or so. The people from the Azure Dragon Society won't be so easily fooled. This time, we need to make the act real."

Pang Han didn't ask any more questions. The two walked in silence, side by side, along the mountain path for twenty miles. Suddenly, they heard several whistles around them, and a dozen figures leaped out. The leader was none other than Hu Kui. He smiled and said, "Congratulations on officially joining the Azure Dragon Society!"

Miao Qian feigned ignorance and said, "Senior, what is the real meaning of this? Didn't we already join long ago?" Hu Kui said, "The previous joining was just a formality. Now you've officially joined the Azure Dragon Society. This mission is merely a test of your loyalty and courage. Assassinating Prince Ning is an extraordinary matter, a mission that only the Four Great Assassins can undertake. You two are just newcomers; how could the organization send you to your deaths so easily? This is the real mission." As he spoke, he handed Pang Han and Miao Qian a note.

Pang Han took a look and said, "I see. Then let's change course immediately and head to Daming Lake." Hu Kui nodded in satisfaction and led the group away.

After Hu Kui left, Miao Qian asked, "What's the mission?" Pang Han said, "We're to go to Daming Lake to kill someone." Miao Qian asked, "Who is it that's worth going so far to kill?" Pang Han said, "Actually, I don't know either. Let's change course quickly. It seems you guessed right, the Azure Dragon Society is indeed testing us. But, should we kill that person or not?"

Miao Qian said, "Let's play it by ear. In any case, let's get there and see. If it's someone we have to kill, then it's okay to do it." Pang Han nodded and sighed, "In that case, let's hurry up and set off. Time waits for no one." The two chose a small path heading east and sped off.

At dawn, at Lixia Pavilion on the shore of Daming Lake in Jinan, an elderly traveling doctor was practicing medicine and selling medicine. Beside him was a girl in white, about seventeen or eighteen years old, a beautiful woman with fair skin and an ethereal beauty. After examining a coughing patient, the itinerant doctor wrote down a prescription and handed it to the young woman, saying, "Granddaughter, bring the medicine." The woman replied, "Yes, Grandpa," and swiftly grabbed several herbs from her medicine basket, weighed them, and deftly wrapped them into a package before handing it to the patient. A group of young men surrounded the pavilion, admiring the woman's beauty. They lingered, reluctant to leave. Whispers rippled through the crowd: "'What a beautiful girl!' 'Look at those hands!' 'Her skin is so smooth and delicate!' 'She's truly a great beauty!'"

The woman ignored the admiration, continuing her work with her head down. The crowd grew larger, but while many were there to watch the stunning young woman prepare the medicine, few were actually there for a proper medical consultation. Suddenly, voices arose again, and someone whispered, "Oh, look! Another beauty is coming! What a feast for the eyes today!"

In the distance, a magnificent white Ferghana horse galloped by, carrying a beautiful woman dressed in a black outfit, wearing a black cloak and deerskin boots. The toes of her boots were adorned with a pearl the size of a thumb. She was truly dressed in luxurious attire and exuded an extraordinary aura! Amidst the admiring and astonished gazes of the crowd, the young woman rode swiftly to Lixia Pavilion. She dismounted, entered the pavilion, and bowed to the old doctor, saying, "Sir, I am waiting here for an important person today, so I would like to borrow a place to sit. You continue your business, and I will wait for my person; let's keep to ourselves, how about that?"

The old doctor chuckled, "Young lady, what are you saying? This pavilion is a public place for everyone to enjoy the scenery and rest. It's not a matter of borrowing or not borrowing. As long as you don't mind the smell of medicine on my grandfather and me, please wait here." The young woman smiled and said, "In that case, thank you, sir." The girl weighing the medicine said sweetly, "Sister, it's less windy here, please sit here." The young woman said gratefully, "Thank you, sister." The girl, delighted to meet a woman of similar age, abandoned her taciturn nature and chatted enthusiastically with the young woman. The two stunning beauties together attracted even more attention from the crowd.

Before long, the morning mist gradually dissipated, and a handsome and dashing young swordsman strode out from the fog in the south. He looked around, then looked up at the three characters "Lixia Pavilion" on the plaque above the pavilion, and his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, immediately settled down. The young woman also saw the young man, stood up, and rushed over to him, saying, "Xu Yan, I've been waiting for you for a long time. I knew you'd come here today."

Xu Yan cupped his hands in greeting and said, "So you've been here all along. It's time to settle things between us." The young woman snorted and said, "You started this relationship and then abandoned me. What's there to say now?" Xu Yan said, "Who can predict matters of the heart? Besides, we belong to different camps. It's better to separate sooner rather than later, to avoid future conflicts."

The young woman sighed, "What's the use of saying all this now? Tell me what you're really thinking. I can bear it." Xu Yan said, "My idea is simple: let's cut ties completely and be done with it. From now on, we'll each go our own way, as if we'd never met."

The woman, barely containing her anger, said, "I never expected you to be so heartless. It seems our relationship is over!" Xu Yan sighed, "Is there any other way? A short pain is better than a long one. Do as I say, and we'll be more comfortable in the future. Otherwise, neither of us can escape the cruel twists of fate."

The woman suddenly drew a long sword. "Since you say we're over, then we're enemies from now on. Let's fight to the death now. I'd be willing to die by your hand." Xu Yan exclaimed in surprise, "Yan Shu, why are you doing this? I've been so worried about us that my hair has turned white. How can I bear to fight you to the death? I advise you to give up." "Give me your hand."

The young woman named Yan Shu ignored him completely. "I am a lady from a respectable family, and I wanted to be with you forever. Now I have to lower myself and beg you to change your mind. Where do I put my face!" With that, she flicked her longsword and thrust it at Xu Yan. Xu Yan dodged, flipped his hands, and caught Yan Shu's sword. "Yan Shu, listen to me. Let's part amicably. Why make it like this?"

At this moment, the crowd of onlookers had already scattered in fear when they saw the two fighting. However, the grandfather and grandson medicine seller did not leave. They remained in the Lixia Pavilion, doing what they were doing, as if nothing had happened.

Yan Shu's swordsmanship was good. Her sword flowers were like snowflakes as she thrust at Xu Yan, as if she wanted to die together with him. Xu Yan had no choice but to dodge repeatedly, not wanting to confront her head-on. Yan Shu shouted, "Fight back now, or I'll kill you!"

Xu Yan smiled bitterly, "Why are you doing this? We could have parted amicably. Why make things like this and become a laughingstock?" Yan Shu's attacks became even more ferocious. She said in a deep voice, "Since we can't live together, we'll die together. Otherwise, this isn't over!"

The two figures spun rapidly, and the sword light gradually surrounded them, making it impossible to tell whether it was a person or a sword. Suddenly, a person flew out from the painted boat on the left. With a swift movement of his palms, he separated Xu Yan and Yan Shu. The person shouted, "Young Master Xu, you are the adopted son of Grand Tutor Xu. Aren't you ashamed to fight like this with a girl over something like this?"

Xu Yan looked closely and saw that the person was of medium height, probably in his forties, with bright eyes, bent palms, and thick calluses on his hands. He was clearly a master of Iron Claw Kung Fu. Xu Yan immediately understood and nodded, saying, "Could you be Yan Shisan from Flying Eagle Workshop in Jinan Prefecture?"

Yan Shisan smiled and said, "That's right, I am Yan Shisan. Speaking of which, my ancestors had some connection with this Miss Yan Shu. I hope you two won't take offense at my rash action this time. I just felt that we are all from prestigious families, so why make a fool of ourselves over such a trivial matter?"

Yan Shu stamped her foot, "Fine, you men are all about bullying people. I'm not going to argue with you anymore." With that, she turned and mounted her horse and rode away. Xu Yan smiled bitterly, "Alas, this matter is truly a headache for me. I apologize for making you laugh, Brother Yan. Thank you for helping me out of this predicament." Yan Shisan laughed, "Brother Xu, there's no need for such formalities. I have long admired Grand Tutor Xu's reputation and have been eager to serve him, but I haven't had the opportunity. Please put in a good word for me."

Xu Yan smiled slightly and said, "That's easy, Brother Yan, don't worry. I'll speak to my godfather." Yan Shisan was overjoyed, "I have a banquet set up on the pleasure boat. Why don't you have a few drinks with me, brother? I'll help you settle things with Miss Yan." Xu Yan nodded, "Then I'll trouble you, Brother Yan."

Yan Shisan pulled Xu Yan and was about to walk into the pleasure boat when suddenly two figures rushed towards him like lightning. Before Yan Shisan could react, a sword struck his chest, and a stream of blood gushed from the hole in his chest. In an instant, the two figures were already far away. It turned out the assassins had taken advantage of Yan Shisan's momentary lapse in attention while she was out inviting guests to read novels at First Literature, striking with deadly precision. Xu Yan was startled, recognizing the two as the grandfather and grandson who sold medicine at the Lixia Pavilion. Just as he was about to give chase, the two were already gone, their movements incredibly fast.

Xu Yan initially hesitated, then suddenly realized the assassins had fled in the direction Yan Shu had taken.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Volume 15, Chapter 18
Pang Han and Miao Qian flew along the official road. Pang Han tore off his human skin mask and laughed, "I didn't expect this mission to go so smoothly. We disguised ourselves as a grandfather and granddaughter selling medicine at Lixia Pavilion, intending to gather information about Yan Shisan. But unexpectedly, that little commotion they caused actually lured Yan Shisan out. Yan Shisan deserved his bad luck; he didn't even bring a bodyguard and was killed by us just like that." Miao Qian laughed, "You've really taken advantage of me, making me call you 'Grandpa' so many times. Sigh, pretending to be a young girl is really tiring."

Pang Han gazed at her stunning face and laughed, "You have it much easier than me. I have to wear a mask to pretend to be an old man, but you only need a little makeup to look like a beautiful young girl. No wonder, with your beauty, even without makeup, people will think you're a young and beautiful girl."

Miao Qian was very pleased with these words, but she scolded, "You glib fellow, all you know how to do is use sweet words to fool people." "Home, alas, if that young man hadn't been Grand Tutor Xu's adopted son, Yan Shisan wouldn't have risked his life to befriend him. If we were on the pleasure boat, he would have had over a dozen skilled guards protecting him; we wouldn't have been able to kill him so easily."

Pang Han said, "This man is utterly wicked. Although the Azure Dragon Society sent us to kill him because he wasn't part of the official organization, his death isn't unjust. We've rid the area of a scourge."

As the two were talking, they suddenly saw a teahouse by the street, with a fine Ferghana horse tied up at the entrance. Pang Han pointed at the horse and laughed, "Look, that girl named Yan Shu is resting here. Let's..." "Come over and have some tea." Miao Qian laughed, "Don't scare her like that. Playing tricks like that will definitely upset the young lady."

Entering the teahouse, Yan Shu was indeed sitting at a table in the corner, sulking, barely even taking a few sips of tea. When she saw the two enter, she was startled, because she saw Pang Han remove his mask. She exclaimed, "So you were just pretending?"

Pang Han pulled Miao Qian to the table and laughed, "I'm sorry, sister, I had something to do, so I disguised myself. Did that scene with my wife scare you?" Miao Qian then explained the situation to Yan Shu, hoping for her forgiveness.

Yan Shu, after hearing their account, remained calm. A woman of refined upbringing and worldly experience, she nodded and said, "So that's how it is. Not surprising. That Yan Shisan was never a good person. You killed him, so be it. I won't meddle. I just hope we can all keep to ourselves and not bother each other."

Miao Qian smiled and said, "Of course, sister, don't worry. Having more friends means having more options. We understand that. Our meeting is just fate; who would want to create unnecessary grudges? If we didn't have a mission, we wouldn't have bothered with that Yan Shisan."

Pang Han asked, "May I ask where you're from, sister, and why you have this connection with Xu Yan?" Yan Shu sighed, "My family is a prominent clan here. My father, Yan Queting, was once an instructor in the Imperial Guards of the capital. Now retired, he's the head of Yan Family Manor. Xu Yan was sent by Grand Tutor Xu to celebrate my father's sixtieth birthday." "He came to offer birthday wishes, and I fell in love with him at first sight. We made a vow, but this year he sent me a letter, saying he needed to focus on his career and asking me to give up on that feeling. I was indignant, so I asked him to come to Lixia Pavilion to talk things out, but I didn't expect him to be so heartless. It's truly disappointing."

Miao Qian advised, "Sister, don't be too sad. Men are all unreliable." Pang Han said irritably, "You're making me confused too." Miao Qian laughed, "I was talking about you. Wasn't there a girl named Zhu Xuansi who also made a vow with you, and even asked you to come to Daming Lake within three days to get married? Now the deadline has long passed. That Miss Zhu must be heartbroken."

Pang Han said helplessly, "I have too many things to do. I can't even take care of myself. How could I think about that? In the world of martial arts, one is often powerless to control one's own destiny." Miao Qian laughed, "See? It's just a bunch of excuses. Men are all like that. Sister, do you see?"

Yan Shu chuckled, "You two are really amusing. Although you're assassins, it's quite interesting. If I weren't the daughter of an official, I'd also like to venture into the martial world with you." Pang Han sighed, "Sister, you shouldn't say that. The martial world is dangerous. It's better if you don't come. It's better for you to live a peaceful life and have your father find you a suitable husband. It's much better than living a life of constant danger like this!"

Miao Qian nodded in agreement, and the group chatted quite congenially, even forming a good friendship. After drinking the tea, Yan Shu said, "It's getting late, I should go home. Brother and sister, we get along so well. If you have time, you can come to Yan Family Manor. I'll be waiting for you anytime."

The two hurriedly thanked her and left the teahouse with Yan Shu. Suddenly, dust rose in the distance. It turned out that Xu Yan had arrived. Seeing Pang Han, Miao Qian and Yan Shu standing together, he mistakenly thought that the two had taken Yan Shu hostage. He immediately shouted, "You audacious scoundrels, don't hurt Miss Yan! I'll fight you to the death!" As he spoke, he drew his long sword and stabbed at them.

Yan Shu was so surprised that she forgot to stop him. The sword light shot towards Pang Han like a bolt of lightning. Pang Han reacted quickly, and his Longyuan Sword turned into a red light and struck the tip of Xu Yan's longsword with a whoosh. His swordsmanship was extremely accurate, and his timing was perfect. With a clanging sound, the two exchanged more than a dozen moves in an instant. Sparks flew as their swords clashed. Xu Yan was greatly surprised. He had been adopted by Grand Tutor Xu because of his exquisite swordsmanship, which made him a rare opponent in the martial arts world. Now, he had met his match in their first exchange, which greatly surprised him.

A flash of white light and shadowy figures appeared, and the two exchanged dozens of moves. Although Pang Han's swordsmanship and internal strength were superior to Xu Yan's, his power was diminished due to his still-healing serious injuries, thus making it difficult for him to gain the upper hand. Miao Qian, who was standing nearby, felt that this could not go on, so she leaped into the fray and struck Xu Yan's shoulder in a few rounds. Xu Yan cried out in pain, "You wait, I'll call someone to deal with you!" and then fled.

Yan Shu stamped her feet anxiously, "That Xu Yan is still so impulsive! He ran off before I could say anything. This is such a misunderstanding!" Miao Qian said, "Since he's going to get reinforcements, we should leave too, to avoid trouble."

Pang Han nodded, "Yes, if he brings reinforcements, the two of us probably can't handle it. It's best to leave as soon as possible."

Yan Shu said, "Why don't you come with me to Yan Family Village? Although my father has resigned from his official post, he still has some influence. I believe no one will make things difficult for you." Pang

Han and Miao Qian exchanged a glance, both agreeing that this was a good idea, and headed to Yan Family Village with Yan Shu.

Yan Family Village was nestled in a large mountain valley, surrounded by mountains on all sides, with a stream flowing around it. There was a wooden bridge in front of the gate, and at this moment, the mountain mist made it look like a fairyland. Pang Han and Miao Qian kept praising the beauty of the manor, while Yan Shu went to knock on the door. The servant who opened the door was overjoyed to see Yan Shu and said, "So it's Miss who's back! Master was so worried! You're finally back! I'll go and inform him!"

Yan Shu didn't wait for him to return and led the two inside. The manor was quite large, with hundreds of rooms. If Yan Shu hadn't led the way, it would have been difficult to find her way around. Everyone went to the living room, and Yan Shu ordered the servants to bring fragrant tea. The group sat down and chatted.

After a while, an old man entered. Although he was over sixty years old, he had a dignified bearing and exuded a righteous aura. He said sternly as he entered, "Shu'er, you've been disobedient again! Running around like this, what if you run into bad people? Alas, you're my only daughter, and I don't want anything to happen to you."

Yan Shu lowered her head and remained silent, tears welling up in her eyes. Only when she met her father did she release all the grievances in her heart. She threw herself into Yan Queting's arms and cried.

Yan Queting patted her back, his tone serious yet tender. "Shu'er, don't cry. He's just the adopted son of Grand Tutor Xu, it's nothing. I'll find you a good husband someday, okay?"

Yan Shu blushed, then remembered Pang Han and Miao Qian beside her. She quickly introduced them, "These two are new friends I made on the road. They'd like to rest at the manor. Would you mind?"

Yan Queting glanced at Pang Han and Miao Qian,

then cupped his hands in greeting. "May I ask who you two are?" Pang Han thought to himself, "This place is far from the emperor's reach, so it won't hurt to reveal my real name, right?" He nodded. "I am Pang Han, and this is my wife, Miao Qian. Greetings, Senior Yan."

Yan Queting's eyes sharpened, and he scrutinized Pang Han for a long time. "You are Pang Han?" Yan Queting asked.

Pang Han was startled, thinking, "Could he know me? That's terrible!" He had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "That's right, I am Pang Han. May I ask how you came to know me, senior?"

Yan Queting chuckled twice and suddenly struck out with his palm. Pang Han was startled because although Yan Queting's palm technique seemed slow, it contained profound internal strength. If an ordinary person had received this palm strike, they would probably have broken bones and tendons. Pang Han thought, "This old guy is clearly testing my skills. Oh well, what's wrong with returning the blow? I can't let him look down on me." So he used thirty percent of his strength and returned the blow in the same way. When their palms met, both of them trembled slightly.

Yan Queting was surprised. He had already used eighty percent of his strength in this palm strike, just to test this legendary young man who had been famous for a long time. He didn't expect that the other party's casual return of the palm would make his blood and qi surge, and he almost couldn't withstand it. He nodded. "Heroes emerge from among the young; this saying is indeed true. Your master, Pang Wanchun, and I were old friends. We studied martial arts under the same master, but he was only interested in martial arts and wanted to dedicate himself to the martial world, while I was obsessed with fame and fortune and entered officialdom. However, we have kept in touch through correspondence over the years, and he told me about a disciple who was roaming the martial world, asking me to keep an eye on him. So recently, I have been paying close attention to your whereabouts. Unexpectedly, by sheer coincidence, I have met you at home. What a joyous occasion!"

Pang Han breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself, "So he's a friend of my master. That's good. If he were from some sect or the Azure Dragon Society, I'd be in trouble." He clasped his hands in a fist and bowed, saying, "So you're a friend of my master, senior. I was very rude earlier. Please forgive me." Yan

Shu, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but brighten up when she heard Pang Han reveal his true identity. Her eyes shone with envy and admiration. Pang Han didn't know that he had already made a great name for himself during this time, and was admired by many young people in the martial arts world.

Yan Queting nodded repeatedly, saying, "I've long heard of your reputation. You certainly haven't disappointed your master. But I heard you recently went missing. How did you end up here?" Pang Han coughed awkwardly and said, "It's a long story. Anyway, since you and my master often correspond, could you please pass on a message to my master, telling him I'm fine and he doesn't need to worry?" Yan Queting nodded, "Alright, it's nothing. But your master has some good news recently, do you know?"

Pang Han asked curiously, "What is it?" Yan Queting said, "Just last month, your master's wife gave birth to a big, healthy baby boy. He's overjoyed and even sent a letter hoping I would come to the Martial Capital Sect to celebrate. But unfortunately, I'm not feeling well and can't go."

Pang Han's head buzzed, and he felt dizzy for a moment before he came to his senses. Seeing Pang Han's dazed expression, Yan Queting asked, "Nephew, what's wrong?" Pang Han pretended to be fine, feigning a happy smile, and said, "So my master has finally had a descendant! This is truly a joyous occasion, and I'm so happy that I didn't react for a moment."

Yan Queting laughed heartily and said, "Yes, I never expected that Old Pang would finally have a son. This is truly a great joy! No wonder you're so happy."

Pang Han smiled bitterly to himself, thinking, "My master's wife... she finally gave me a son!" (

Chapter 19 of Volume 15)
Yan Queting, unaware of the situation, assumed Pang Han was too happy to speak and didn't pay much attention. He immediately ordered his servants to prepare a banquet to entertain Pang Han and Miao Qian. Everyone got along well, and during the banquet, Yan Shu frequently cast ardent glances at Pang Han, clearly showing deep affection for him. However, because Pang Han had heard about his master's wife's situation, his words were always indifferent, and he didn't seem very interested.

Miao Qian nudged Pang Han secretly and whispered, "Look how good Miss Yan is to you. You should at least reciprocate. Don't be so rude." Pang Han smiled bitterly, "My mind is in turmoil right now. I don't want to think about or do anything." Miao Qian said impatiently, "Did you hear the news that your master's wife gave birth? Are you unhappy about it?"

Pang Han used his telepathic ability to say, "I'm both shocked and happy. My master's wife gave birth to a big, healthy boy. Why wouldn't I be happy? It's just that they're both with my master right now. If my master finds out the truth, I'm really afraid they'll be in danger. So I'm secretly planning how to get them to leave my master and come to my side."

Miao Qian said, "This can't be rushed. You know how difficult this is, so you should plan carefully and strengthen your own abilities first. Otherwise, even if you return..." "Even if you go to the Wudu Sect, you can't take your master's wife and child away."

Pang Han thought this made sense, so his expression gradually relaxed, and he frequently called on everyone to drink. Yan Queting was overjoyed to see his acquaintance's disciple, and he drank a few more cups during the meal. Soon he felt a little dizzy and went back to rest. Yan Shu came to Pang Han and raised her wine cup, "Brother Pang, I have long admired your reputation in the martial arts world. I admire you very much and hope that you will take care of me in the future and teach me some kung fu."

Pang Han took the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp, saying, "Thank you very much, sister. If you hadn't brought us to Yan Family Manor, I wouldn't have known about my master and mistress. I am truly grateful to you. If there is anything you can teach me in martial arts in the future, sister, please don't hesitate to ask. I will do my best to help you!"

Yan Shu was very happy, and her eyes looked at Pang Han differently from the others. Miao Qian, observing this, quietly asked Pang Han, "What do you think of this Yan Shu?" Pang Han, puzzled, replied, "She's quite nice. A good girl, beautiful and elegant, among the women I've met, she's top-tier." Miao Qian asked meaningfully, "So, do you intend to take her in?" Pang Han shook his head, "She's Senior Yan's beloved daughter, a lady from a prestigious family. How could I be worthy of her? Besides, we're still hiding our identities; I have no time for anything with her. I have too many confidantes; I've lost count of how many I have. I really don't want to hinder her future."

Miao Qian retorted, "Oh, so you mean to hinder my future?" Pang Han laughed, "I have no such intention. Even if I were willing, Miss Yan might not be interested. Why bother myself?"

Miao Qian smiled, "Women understand women's hearts best. She's had feelings for you for a long time; I can tell. It's just a matter of whether you accept." Pang Han sighed, "Let's put it aside for now. My mind is in turmoil right now; I really don't have the time." "His thoughts." Miao Qian said, "I don't believe you have no interest at all. How about this, I'll create some opportunities for you, and then we'll see how things develop."

Pang Han waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "Why bother? Sister, you're being too enthusiastic about this. What exactly are you after?" Miao Qian sighed, "We're working under assumed names in the Azure Dragon Society, and our future is very uncertain. We never know when our lives will be in danger. If I die first, how can you be without someone by your side? I know your personality; you can't go a day without a woman. This is just for your sake." Pang Han grasped her slender hand, moved

, and said, "Thank you so much for thinking of me, sister. I'm very grateful. Don't worry, with me here, your life will be safe. No one will dare to mess with us." Miao Qian chuckled and said, "Stop talking big. Let's think about how to escape first." Just then, Yan Shu walked over and asked curiously, "What are you discussing so enthusiastically about?"

Pang Han smiled awkwardly, "Nothing, we're just discussing our future plans. Xu Yan was injured by us, so he'll probably..." "They've sent a large number of men; we'd better leave first."

Yan Shu sneered, "That Xu Yan has long since severed all ties with me. I won't be grateful for his kindness. Even if he dares to send people, I won't be afraid of him. Brother Pang and Sister Miao must know the power of Yan Family Manor here. We have three thousand elite warriors and ten thousand strong men. Even the government wouldn't dare to mess with us. You can rest assured and settle here for a while. Afterward, I'll send someone to the capital to secure you two official positions. I believe your lives will be much better from now on." "..."

Pang Han and Miao Qian thanked them repeatedly. Miao Qian took Yan Shu's hand, "Sister, we know how good you are to us, but your brother Pang and I have many important matters to attend to and really don't want to trouble your manor. We may only stay here for a few days before leaving."

Yan Shu suddenly blushed and whispered, "Sister, I'd like to speak with Brother Pang alone for a few minutes, is that alright?" Miao Qian nodded tactfully and said, "Alright, you two talk, I'm going to rest anyway." Pang Han came to Yan Shu and asked, "Sister, is there something you need?" Yan Shu lowered her head... She said shyly, "I've long admired your name, Brother, and seeing you today only deepens my admiration. Actually, I've admired your achievements for a long time, but you've always been a distant dream in my heart. My relationship with Xu Yan was merely a substitute for you. Now that I've met you in person, I think I should confess my feelings, otherwise I'll never have peace in this life."

Pang Han took her hand and said seriously, "Sister, I understand your feelings, but I wander the martial world, my life uncertain, and I truly cannot give you happiness." "What a blessing! Besides, I have many close female friends around me, quite a few in number. If you knew about them, wouldn't you be jealous?"

Yan Shu raised her head and said firmly, "I've always heard about your actions, brother. What's wrong with a man having some women around him? If you weren't capable, they wouldn't be flocking to you, would they? That's why I admire your character and am willing to offer myself to you. Tonight at midnight, I hope you won't close the door, brother. I'll come to find you myself, hoping we can become a couple." Before Pang Han could speak, she shyly lowered her head and left.

Pang Han stood there, stunned, his heart pounding, not knowing what to do. Miao Qian came to his side with a grin, pushed his forehead, and said reproachfully, "This girl is practically offering herself to you, and you don't even show any appreciation? You should at least say thank you." Pang Han smiled bitterly, "I really didn't expect her to say that. Actually, I like her too, but isn't she being a bit too direct? Could it be that she and Xu Yan are the same?"

Miao Qian sighed and said, "You men, what can I say to you? This young lady confessed her feelings to you and was even willing to offer herself to you, yet you're so suspicious. How can that be? Even if she gave herself to Xu Yan first, she's still herself, nothing has changed. Are you going to despise her just because of a few drops of blood?"

Pang Han smiled bitterly, "What kind of person do you take me for? Don't you remember what I told you before? What kind of women haven't I had among my confidantes? Some are even promiscuous." "Yes, but I don't care. I only care about how two people feel when they're together. If we're compatible, then okay, being together isn't a big deal. I don't have any virginity complex, and I won't discriminate against anyone because of it. I hope you understand my feelings. Even if you weren't a virgin when we first met, I wouldn't look down on you. Experiencing wonderful things together and reaching the peak of passion—what a happy thing that is!"

After hearing his words, Miao Qian said with great emotion, "You really make me look at you in a new light. If other men had your awareness, abandoning everything else between men and women and existing only for pleasure, the world would be a better place." The two talked for a while longer, and it was already late. Yan Queting had already arranged rooms for them. Miao Qian knew that Pang Han had other plans for the evening, so she tactfully returned to her room to meditate and practice her skills.

But soon she heard a knock on the door. She opened the door and saw Pang Han standing outside. Miao Qian scolded, "Why did you come here instead of waiting for Sister Yan in your own room?"

Pang Han closed the door and immediately hugged her, laughing, "There are still a few hours until Li Shi (the time of day), I can't hold back anymore. Besides, what if Miss Yan changes her mind? I don't want to end up with nothing. Let's have some fun first. I don't believe you can stay in an empty room." As he spoke, he began to undress Miao Qian.

Miao Qian did not stop Pang Han's actions, but scolded him, "You lazybones, you can't stand being alone for a moment. You're delaying your cultivation. How are you going to go back and save your master's wife?" Upon hearing the words "master's wife," Pang Han immediately stopped and sighed. Miao Qian, instead, stepped forward and leaned her smooth body against Pang Han, comforting him, "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong? Sigh, I'm sorry. Did talking about your master's wife upset you?"

Pang Han sighed, "I feel sad when I think about how my master's wife is still waiting for me. I feel like I'm letting her down by playing around like this." Miao Qian put something into Pang Han's mouth and made him lick it, saying sweetly, "Why do you think like that? You have to understand that only when you're happy can you accomplish great things. Everything we do is a stepping stone for future success. The more fun you have, the greater your chances of success will be, and the more you'll be worthy of your master's wife, understand?"

Pang Han suddenly understood and laughed, "You're right. I didn't expect you to be so eloquent. I thought you were only good at killing people."

Miao Qian was happy from his licking and said in a trembling voice, "If you don't treat me well from now on, I'll kill you." Pang Han laughed and pressed her down, using all his skills to make her submissive and ecstatic until very late.

When Pang Han returned to his room, it was exactly midnight. There was still no movement outside the door. Pang Han thought to himself, "Miss Yan probably backed out. After all, you, Pang Han, are just a wandering swordsman. How could a lady from a prestigious family submit to you? Don't overthink it. I should just go to sleep. Anyway, I've already had my fill with Sister Miao tonight."

Just then, there was a knock at the door. Pang Han was startled and quickly got up to open it. Sure enough, Yan Shu was standing outside, wrapped in a thick black robe.

Pang Han welcomed her in and tentatively asked, "Sister, don't you regret doing this?" Yan Shu said shyly, "This may be my last chance for happiness in life. I hope Brother Pang will grant my wish." As she spoke, she lifted the black robe and pulled it to the ground. It turned out that she was wearing nothing but the black robe. Her snow-white, slender figure and alluring curves captivated Pang Han's gaze.

Yan Shu felt a little embarrassed by his gaze and lowered her head, saying, "To be honest, Brother Pang, this is my first time doing something like this. I hope you can be gentle."

Pang Han was surprised and said, "So you and Xu Yan didn't..."

Yan Shu nodded shyly, "Back then, I pledged my life to him, but I always adhered to my bottom line. I only kissed and touched him, but I never crossed any lines. Fortunately, I can now offer my virginity to Brother Pang."

Pang Han held her slender hand with emotion, "Good sister, don't worry, I, Pang Han, will not let you down."

He carried Yan Shu to the bed and gently stroked her body. Yan Shu was a little nervous, her body trembling slightly, and she made alluring sounds. Her beautiful legs tightly gripped Pang Han's waist, as if afraid he would escape.

Pang Han didn't slack off and began his preparations, which excited Yan Shu. Then, Pang Han said seriously, "Little sister, I'm about to begin. Will you regret it?" Yan Shu said shyly, "It's all up to you, big brother." Pang Han nodded, "Since that's the case, then I won't hold back. Do

n't worry, I, Pang Han, will definitely make you the happiest woman." He put in his best effort, making Yan Shu very happy. The two of them went back and forth, their interaction lasting until dawn. Yan Shuxiang, drenched in sweat, said sweetly, "Brother, I feel so good. You're so skilled."

Pang Han, also exhausted, sighed, "I never expected a young girl like you to have such strong desires. Have you been wanting to do this for a long time?"

Yan Shuxiang buried her head shyly in Pang Han's arms, saying, "You're so naughty, making me say such embarrassing things." Pang Han laughed heartily, patted her body, and said, "I just wonder how to explain this to your father?" Yan Shuxiang nodded, "Don't worry, my father listens to me the most. He won't say anything if I marry you."

Pang Han was relieved and happily slept with Yan Shuxiang. It wasn't until noon that Yan Shuxiang got up to wash and dress, and went to Yan Queting to discuss her marriage with Pang Han.

Pang Hanxiang anxiously waited for news from Yan Shuxiang in the room.

Unexpectedly, Yan Shu returned shortly afterward, her expression quite gloomy. Pang Han's heart sank, and he said, "Could it be that Uncle Yan doesn't agree to our marriage?"

But Yan Shu's expression suddenly brightened, and she clapped her hands and laughed, "My father has agreed to our marriage! Aren't you happy?"

Pang Han was overjoyed and said, "So that's how it is. You wanted to scare me first, but you almost did! You're such a little devil!" He patted Yan Shu's forehead, but then, unable to resist a sudden impulse, he pulled Yan Shu into his arms and kissed her for a while.

Yan Shu, panting slightly, said, "My father has long admired your abilities. He said how could he not agree to such a worthy son-in-law? He even planned for us to have our wedding ceremony in three days, lest things change if we delay."

Pang Han laughed, "Your father is even more anxious than us! I never expected him to agree so readily. I, Pang Han, am truly blessed to marry you."

Yan Shu hesitated again, "But what about Sister Miao? Is there a problem?" Pang Han smiled, "We are all江湖儿女 (people of the martial world), we don't have that many troubles. Besides, we already call each other husband and wife, so whether we have a wedding ceremony or not doesn't matter. Unlike your large families who value rituals so much."

Yan Shu lowered her head and said, "Actually, I didn't mean for it to be so complicated, but my father said that such an important life event should be celebrated in a grand manner and cannot be taken lightly. He has already sent out wedding invitations to heroes from all walks of life to come and offer their congratulations. Do you agree?"

Pang Han hesitated and said, "My identity is very complicated now. If outsiders know that I am still alive, things might become difficult."

Yan Shu said, "That's not... " "My father invited friends who are sworn brothers. As long as I tell them, your matter will definitely not be leaked."

Pang Han had no choice but to nod and say, "That's the only way. I'll do as you say. Who told me to love you so much? I'd go through fire and water for you."

Yan Shu said emotionally, "I know my brother is the best to me. I hope you can keep your vow and not forget me."

Pang Han and she lingered for a while longer before Pang Han went to the front hall to see Yan Queting. Inside, Yan Queting and Miao Qian were already waiting. Inside, amidst laughter and chatter, upon seeing Pang Han arrive, they exclaimed joyfully, "I never imagined you and Shu'er would fall in love at first sight! I am overjoyed. It is a joyous occasion for the Yan family village to have such a worthy son -in-law. As for Xu Yan, I have already sent someone to inform him of this matter, and he dares not send anyone to cause trouble.

" Miao Qian chimed in, "Senior is right. Sister Yan is such a good person. If you ever bully her, I will never forgive you."

Pang Han repeatedly agreed, not daring to disobey in the slightest. Yan Shu, blushing shyly, followed behind Pang Han, head bowed and silent. Yan Queting, seeing this, was very pleased and said, "There's no better time than today. We will hold the wedding for you in three days. As for relatives and friends, we will only invite a few important ones. After your wedding, I will have fulfilled a wish."

Three days later, the Yan family village was decorated with red ribbons and streamers, and the hall was filled with joy. Pang Han and Yan Shu finished their wedding ceremony and headed towards the bridal chamber.

Just then, Pang Han suddenly caught sight of a woman's figure in the crowd. His heart skipped a beat, and he almost rushed over to meet her. However, he was busy with the wedding and had no time to spare. After escorting Yan Shu to the bridal chamber, Pang Han whispered in her ear, "My wife, I have some things to take care of. Please wait for me in the bridal chamber."

Yan Shu replied sweetly, "I'll leave it to my husband. I'll wait for you to return."

Pang Han left the bridal chamber and ran into Miao Qian, who was also beaming with joy. She patted his shoulder and said, "Why aren't you in the bridal chamber with your husband? What are you doing out here? Go back quickly!"

Pang Han whispered, "I saw a friend and want to see her. Can you cover for me for a while?" Miao Qian glanced at him and said, "You want to meet someone else at a time like this? I have nothing to say to you."

Pang Han bid farewell to Miao Qian and left the courtyard. As he searched around, a voice suddenly whispered behind him, "It's been so long since we parted." Startled, Pang Han turned around and saw Zhu Xuansi, the woman he had been longing for.

He stepped forward and embraced her, saying, "I've thought of you for so long. What brings you here?"

Zhu Xuansi gently pushed him away, saying softly, "Now that you're keeping a mistress, do you still want me?" Pang Han replied, "What are you saying? I was supposed to keep the appointment at Daming Lake, but so many unexpected things happened. Even Xianghua and Yueyi were lost. I was too ashamed to face you."

Zhu Xuansi said, "Old Master Yan is an old friend of mine. I couldn't refuse his happy occasion. I didn't expect to run into you. To be honest, I don't care who you married. Seeing you so happy made me very happy too. As long as you're alright, that's all that matters."

Pang Han's heart... Moved, he stepped forward and gently kissed her cherry lips, asking, "Then does our previous agreement still stand?" Zhu Xuansi sighed softly, saying, "Once fate is missed, it's hard to get it back. Besides, I'm currently planning something important and have no time for romantic feelings. Let's put our matter aside for now. If you're willing, Pang Lang, we'll have a chance to meet again someday."

Pang Han felt a pang of sadness and lowered his head, saying, "I've let you down. I hope you can forgive me. I will do my best to find Xianghua and Yueyi."

Zhu Xuansi smiled slightly, "My maids are not easy to deal with. They have their own way of escaping. Don't worry too much. As for the future, let fate decide." With that, she smiled gracefully and drifted away.

Pang Han watched her departing figure, wanting to speak again, but he couldn't utter a word.

In Chapter 20 of Volume 15,
Pang Han returned to the bridal chamber with a heavy heart. He found Yan Shu still sitting on the wedding bed, her veil draped over her shoulders. A surge of emotion welled up within him. He gently lifted the veil, revealing Yan Shu, breathtakingly beautiful in the candlelight. Her rosy cheeks were exquisitely pretty. Pang Han took her hand and solemnly said, "My wife, you are truly beautiful."

Yan Shu chuckled, "We've been together for several days now, why are you only saying this now?" Pang Han smiled, "I mean it from the bottom of my heart, my wife is truly beautiful." "I, Pang Han, am so happy to marry you," said Yan Shu. "Let's not talk about that now. Where did you go just now? I waited for you for so long. I thought you were making an excuse to run away and not take responsibility."

Pang Han laughed and said, "I once married three generations of a family at the same time. I didn't run away from that kind of event. Do you think I would do that for such a small occasion?" Yan Shu smiled and said playfully, "Oh, so you consider our family's wedding a small occasion. I'm going to tell my father later." She smiled charmingly, her beauty captivating. Seeing her beautiful appearance, Pang Han couldn't resist going up to her and being affectionate for a while. He then said, "Let me confess to you, the person I just met was an old friend, the Miss Zhu I told you about."

Yan Shu said, "Oh, so it was her. Why didn't you say so sooner? If I had known, I would have asked my father to keep her, and it would have fulfilled your wish." Pang Han said gratefully, "My wife is so understanding. I am very touched. Please rest assured, I, Pang Han, will definitely make you happy." Yan Shu smiled and said, "If I am jealous of other women, does that mean I am not a virtuous wife? Will you not treat me well?"

Pang Han shook his head repeatedly, unbuttoned Yan Shu's clothes, and said while touching her, "We are truly a perfect match, a match made in heaven. My feelings for my wife are as clear as the heavens and the earth. The friendship between us cannot be described in words." "I'll tolerate it, even if you're jealous, I'll still like it. Even if my wife speaks rudely, I can endure it."

Yan Shu giggled. "Your hands are still so restless. You say such affectionate words, yet you do such filthy things." Pang Han had already stripped her naked, embraced her alluring body, and shook her vigorously, saying, "Haha, you say my actions are filthy, so I'll show you even more filth, making you so happy you can't live without them."

Yan Shu moaned sweetly, "You're such a bad person, controlling me like this, making me unable to leave you." Pang Han breathed heavily, "We're already husband and wife, we can never be separated. No matter how difficult the future may be, I believe we'll be together!" He moved vigorously, trying his best to make Yan Shu feel incredibly comfortable, emitting endless sweet moans.

Just as the two were reaching their climax, the window suddenly opened, and a person floated in. Pang Han, who had just brought Yan Shu to her peak, was startled and asked, "Who is it?"

The person smiled slightly, "You two are having fun in the bridal chamber, leaving me all alone. It makes me so sad. Why don't we join in and have some fun?" Pang Han looked and saw that it was Miao Qian. He was relieved and laughed, "Sister, you're so impatient. I told you I'd come to meet you after serving Yan Shu. Why can't you wait?"

Miao Qian laughed as she took off her clothes, "I can't take it anymore. Besides, it'll save time if the three of us do it together, won't it?" At this moment, Yan Shu was covered in fragrant sweat. Shu got out of bed to greet Miao Qian, smiling, "I'm just finished, sister, please continue. It's just that I'm sorry to trouble Pang Lang."

Pang Han laughed, "It's alright. What does it matter if I'm exhausted, I can spend the night with two beautiful ladies." He then shared a bed with Miao Qian, their lovemaking becoming increasingly tender. The two were enjoying themselves, and Yan Shu, watching from the side, was quite impressed, praising, "Pang Lang's skills are indeed excellent. You've completely subdued your sister. But why didn't you use more force earlier?" Pang Han said aggrievedly, "You know how powerful your sister Miao is. Her skills have reached a state of perfection. If I don't use all my strength, it's really hard to resist." As he spoke, he began to make vigorous movements.

Miao Qian repeatedly exclaimed in admiration, panting softly, "Your injuries have almost fully healed, and with Ding Yishan's internal energy and divine skill aiding you, it will be difficult for anyone in the martial world to be your match in the future." Pang Han kissed her cherry lips and said, "It's not that simple. There are always people stronger than you, and the martial world is full of masters. How could I dare to underestimate anyone? It's better to be cautious. Take the Azure Dragon Society, for example

. Your leader is elusive, appearing and disappearing like a dragon. The fact that he can summon so many martial arts masters to risk their lives for him shows that his skill is unfathomable. I think he might be the real top master." Miao Qian hummed twice before saying, "You're right. Even though I've been in the Azure Dragon Society for so long, I've never seen the leader in person. Three years ago, just when I was about to leave..." At that time, they heard that a newly joined special envoy had gained the favor of the leader, and only she had seen the leader's true face. This special envoy was no ordinary person.

At this moment, the two felt a smooth body embrace them. It turned out that Yan Shu, unable to bear the loneliness, climbed onto the bed and said with a coquettish smile, "You two are really too idle, chatting like this. Don't waste your time, count me in."

Pang Han and Miao Qian exchanged a glance and laughed, "Alright, let the two of us serve our sister today. We'll each take half and divide the work." So Miao Qian took Yan Shu's upper body, and Pang Han took her lower body. The two used their techniques, making Yan Shu feel extremely comfortable. She kept saying "good." This wedding night lasted until four in the morning before finally coming to an end.

The next morning at dawn, the three of them got up, washed, and dressed. Pang Han led Yan Shu to the front hall to pay their respects to Yan Queting. The old man was overjoyed to see his daughter newly married and rewarded Pang Han with 200,000 taels of silver, saying, "I, as your father-in-law, am rather poor and have nothing much to give you. Consider this money as pocket money. My dear son-in-law, you must treat my good daughter well, or I will not forgive you."

Pang Han laughed and said, "Of course, you are too kind. How could I dare to be disrespectful to Shu'er in the slightest? She is invaluable to me and cannot be bought with any price."

As they were chatting warmly, suddenly there was a commotion outside. A servant ran in to report that Xu Yan had led a large group of men to cause trouble.

Yan Queting was very dissatisfied and sneered, "This guy still has the nerve to come to Yan Family Manor, he's really tired of living." He comforted Yan Shu, saying, "Shu'er, don't panic, I'll handle this matter. You and your son-in-law stay here and don't worry about it."

Pang Han stood up and said, "I'll go with my father-in-law to teach that guy a lesson and avenge Shu'er." Yan Queting stopped him, saying, "Why bother? Don't you trust my abilities?" Pang Han had no choice but to sit down. Miao Qian said, "Just let Senior Yan go. I believe Xu Yan wouldn't dare to do anything big in front of him."

Yan Queting smiled and said, "Miss Miao understands my feelings. Everyone, please sit here and I'll be right back."

Yan Queting strode out the door, and a short while later, the old man returned to the hall with a smile. Pang Han asked, "Father-in-law, how did it go?"

Yan Queting replied, "That Xu Yan is like a mouse before a cat when he sees me. What else could he say? He naturally withdrew his troops. He only brought reinforcements because he thought you and Miao Qian had kidnapped Shu'er. Now that you and Shu'er are newly married, what could he do? He went back without hesitation. Besides, he abandoned Shu'er first; what face does he have to mention marriage again? I think he has long since forgotten about love and marriage for the sake of his future career."

Upon hearing this, Yan Shu's eyes reddened, and she lowered her head in silence. Miao Qian comforted her, saying, "Now that you're Pang Lang's wife, don't think about anyone else. Besides, Xu Yan is a womanizer who abandoned you; even if he married you, he wouldn't treat you well."

Yan Shu thought Miao Qian's words made a lot of sense and nodded in agreement.

Just then, someone came to report that someone had come to offer congratulations outside the gate, claiming to be a friend of the old man. Yan Queting asked curiously, "What's his name? What's he dressed like?" The servant replied, "He's a middle-aged man, dressed in coarse cloth, carrying an iron rod."

Yan Queting found this very strange and said, "I don't remember having such a friend. Perhaps he's someone I met at some gathering?" He pondered for a moment and said, "Bring him in. I want to see who he is."

A short while later, the man entered the hall and knelt down upon seeing Yan Queting. "Old man, how have you been? I've come to thank you for saving my life."

Although Yan Queting was suspicious, seeing the man kneeling down, he couldn't remain silent. So he stepped forward to help the man up. "Brother, there's no need for such formalities. Where are you from? I'm confused and don't remember ever meeting you."

Suddenly, the man struck out with a palm. Because Yan Queting was caught off guard, his chest was wide open. The palm struck him squarely in the chest. Yan Queting cried out and flew backward, falling to the ground unconscious.

Enraged, Pang Han lunged forward and threw a punch. The middle-aged man, agile as ever, dodged Pang Han's attack. Just then, Yan Shu thrust her sword forward, which he ducked to avoid. However, Miao Qian struck him squarely on the back, and with a sharp crack, the middle-aged man collapsed to the ground, coughing up blood.

Pang Han grabbed his collar and demanded, "Who sent you? Why did you hurt my father-in-law?"

The middle-aged man adopted a defiant expression, closing his eyes as if to be slaughtered, refusing to divulge any information.

At that moment, Yan Shu rushed to Yan Queting's side, crying loudly, "Father, wake up! Are you alright?"

Yan Queting's eyes remained closed, blood dripping from his lips, and he remained silent. Pang Han pressed ten acupoints on the middle-aged man's body, rendering him immobile, before turning to heal Yan Queting's injuries.

He and Miao Qian worked together to channel their inner energy into Yan Queting's meridians, but Yan Queting showed no reaction, only letting out two groans. A short while later, Pang Han spat out blood and stood up. Yan Shu hurriedly asked, "How is my father?"

Pang Han looked at her with difficulty, finally shaking his head, "My father-in-law's injuries are too severe; I'm afraid he won't make it."

Yan Shu burst into tears, her appearance utterly tragic. Miao Qian wiped the sweat from her brow, embraced Yan Shu, and comforted her, "Life and death are predestined. Don't be too sad, sister. Senior Yan has been a good person all his life; I believe he won't suffer in the afterlife."

Suddenly, Yan Shu drew her long sword and stabbed at the middle-aged man. The sword tip had just reached the middle-aged man's neck when Pang Han's fingers caught it. He said, "Although my father-in-law died at the hands of this scoundrel, we cannot kill him now. We must find out who is behind this so we can find the real culprit and avenge my father-in-law!"

Hearing this, Yan Shu angrily withdrew her sword and threw herself onto Yan Queting's body, weeping bitterly. Miao Qian instructed the servants to quickly set up the mourning hall, while Pang Han stayed by Yan Shu's side, comforting her and hoping she could pull herself together. However, Yan Shu had always been deeply attached to her father, and now that he was gone, she couldn't bear the blow. She even seemed somewhat dazed, looking quite pitiful.

Pang Han felt deeply saddened, because Yan Queting had treated him well, not only marrying his daughter to him but also giving him a considerable amount of money. He had been very kind to him, so the death of this benevolent elder was also a very painful event for him. However, although Pang Han found it hard to bear such a blow, he had to harden his heart and interrogate the middle-aged man to find out who the real mastermind was so that he could avenge Yan Que Ting!

He first had Miao Qian take Yan Shu to her room to comfort her, while he, along with several guards, escorted the assassin to the dark room. Pang Han acted swiftly and decisively, ordering the guards to torture the man until he screamed in agony. Only then did he stop the torture and ask, "Speak, who ordered you to come here?"

The assassin sneered, "I dared to come here to kill, I was prepared to die. Bring on whatever weapons you have, I'm not afraid." Pang Han suddenly burst into laughter, a laugh that sent chills down the assassin's spine. Pang Han said coldly, "You were ordered to kill, either for money or for lust, but now that I've caught you, what can you gain? In any case, your life is coming to an end. But besides endless torture, I also have some acupuncture skills that will surely make you wish you were dead. Think carefully, would you rather die without pain, or be tortured before I kill you? Choose one."

The man seemed wary of Pang Han's words. After a long pause, he looked up and said, "Alright, I hope you can give me a quick death. The mastermind behind sending me to kill is Grand Tutor Xu of this dynasty!" Pang

Han was shocked. "How could it be him? Why would he want to kill Yan Queting?" The assassin sneered, "Yan Queting offended Grand Tutor Xu when he was in power and never obeyed his orders. Now his adopted son has been insulted by the Yan Family Manor. That's why he sent me to kill Yan Queting and eliminate this threat."

Pang Han asked, "Is what you're saying true?"

The assassin laughed, "I'm a man about to die, why would I lie to you? Hurry up and give me a quick death!"

Pang Han nodded. "You're a man of principle. Fine, I'll give you a bottle of poison. You can end it all in the prison."

The assassin nodded happily, "You truly are a man of your word. No wonder many in the martial world praise you." With that, he was escorted back to the prison by the guards.

Pang Han entered the room, and Miao Qian greeted him, asking, "Have you found out? Who was behind it all?" Pang Han explained the whole story, and Yan Shu suddenly stood up, crying out in grief and indignation, "I must kill Grand Tutor Xu to avenge my father!"

Miao Qian, more composed, said slowly, "This is a bit strange. Judging from that man's appearance, he was clearly a suicide squad member. I've seen many like him; they kill and then immediately commit suicide, never leaving anyone alive to avoid being tricked into revealing the truth. He killed people, yet waited to be captured, and only revealed the so-called truth after being interrogated. I always feel something is amiss."

Pang Han nodded, saying, "I also... " "That's how it is, but this is the only lead we have right now. That man is a tough guy; we can't get any more information out of him. It's better to let him die; that would be revenge for my father-in-law. As for who killed him, I still need to investigate."

Yan Shu cried, "No matter what, Pang Lang must give my father an explanation. The murderer must be caught, otherwise my father won't rest in peace."

Pang Han hugged her, kissed her cherry lips, and comforted her, "Don't be sad. I'm very sad too, but life goes on. We need to pull ourselves together and find out the truth."

Miao Qian said, "The person is already dead, what can we do next?" Pang Han smiled and took out a small bottle, saying, "This bottle contains a strange powder. Once it gets on a person, the scent won't wash off for years. Only those familiar with this powder can recognize the scent. I got this from Tang Wan; the Tang Clan's stuff is very peculiar. I've already sprinkled this on the assassin, then pretended to let him escape, and then followed the scent. We'll definitely find out where he went to report back."

Miao Qian suddenly realized, "You're really something! I didn't expect you to know..." "Such a good idea, but what if we fail and let the assassin escape? How can we face Elder Yan?"

Pang Han said, "You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub. Besides, I've already given him a slow-acting poison. Even if he escapes my control, he won't live more than six months. He'll definitely die bleeding from all seven orifices. Hehe, the Tang Clan's stuff really works."

Yan Shu gritted her teeth and said, "That's good. The murderer who killed my father must not be allowed to escape."

That night, news spread from Yan Family Manor that the assassin hadn't died after taking the poison. Taking advantage of the manor guards' negligence, he had actually escaped, causing many people to lament.

Pang Han had expected this. Miao Qian urged him to hurry and follow, but he said, "It's alright. I can smell the medicine powder from a hundred miles away. I'm not worried about him running far. We should be well-prepared

so we can achieve twice the result with half the effort." Yan Shu said quietly, "Pang Lang is going to hunt down the murderer. I hope you succeed quickly and avenge my father!" Pang Han hugged her and couldn't help but kiss her passionately. He caressed her body for a long time and said, "If it weren't for this incident, I really wanted to live with you forever. But now I have a family feud, so I have to go. You should stay at Yan Family Manor and handle the affairs there. When I come back, I will think of a way to make things work out for both of us." "Fairy, I'll take you far away to a paradise, where you can all live happily ever after."

Miao Qian laughed, "You make it sound so good, I'm almost starting to believe you." Yan Shu shed two lines of clear tears, took off her clothes, and pressed her smooth, satin-like body against Pang Han's tall frame, saying, "I know my lord's journey will be fraught with danger, and I don't know how to repay you. Let me serve you one more time."

Pang Han excitedly caressed her body, saying, "I will never forget my wife's great kindness. Don't worry, I will definitely handle this matter properly and give you justice." As he spoke, he worked diligently, making Yan Shu groan and temporarily forget her pain, entering a state of self-forgetfulness.

Miao Qian, watching from the side, was extremely excited and quickly joined in. A three-way battle ensued, and the three of them stayed in the bridal chamber without leaving, only stopping the next day.

Pang Han stroked Yan Shu's smooth skin, reluctant to part. Miao Qian advised, "I know you're reluctant to leave Yan Shu, but you have important matters to attend to. We not only need to pursue the murderer, but also conceal our identities at all times. The road ahead is fraught with difficulties. Letting your sister stay in Yan Family Village is the right choice. Don't hesitate any longer, let's hurry on our way."

Yan Shu also urged, "Yes, Pang Lang, don't hesitate any longer, let's go quickly. If we delay any longer, the murderer will be far away, and we don't want to jeopardize our important mission."

Pang Han sighed, lingered with the two women for a while longer, then dressed and went with Miao Qian to the front hall to pay respects to Yan Queting's memorial tablet before reluctantly parting from Yan Shu.

Pang Han and Miao Qian walked a long way, and when they looked back, Yan Shu was still waiting at the gate of Yan Family Village, her eyes filled with reluctance.

Volume 15, Chapter 21:
Pang Han and Miao Qian walked side by side on the mountain path. Seeing Pang Han silent and preoccupied, Miao Qian knew he was still worried about Yan Shu, so she advised him, "You made the right decision. Bringing Yan Shu along wouldn't help this trip; it would only alert the enemy and put her in danger." Pang Han nodded, "I know you're right, but I feel really bad about saying goodbye to her so soon after our wedding. If it weren't for our arrival, perhaps Elder Yan wouldn't have died."

Miao Qian shook her head, "Elder Yan's death has nothing to do with us. That assassin was clearly after him; some force must have wanted him dead for a long time. It has nothing to do with our arrival." Pang Han frowned, "Then who do you think wanted to kill my father-in-law? Could it really be Grand Tutor Xu?" Miao Qian said, "That assassin mentioned Grand Tutor Xu's name from the beginning, clearly trying to lead us in that direction. I don't think he was really sent by Grand Tutor Xu." "The mastermind behind this must be someone else. We must be careful. Even if the mastermind isn't Grand Tutor Xu, they must be a powerful figure, far beyond our capabilities."

Pang Han nodded and said, "You're right. Since they dared to attack even the head of Yan Family Manor, they must be formidable. We need to make thorough preparations to ensure victory in every battle."

Miao Qian said, "Let's follow the assassins disguised as Li Xiao and Wang Fang. Otherwise, in densely populated areas, someone might recognize us. It's safer to use other people's appearances, and the assassins won't easily notice us."

Pang Han nodded in agreement. The two then changed into human skin masks and appeared as Li Xiao and Wang Fang again. Pang Han followed the assassin's scent, crossing several mountains and passing through several villages. Finally, a bustling county town appeared before them. The two entered the town and came to a restaurant. Pang Han immediately stopped and looked upstairs.

Miao Qian asked, "Is this the place? I'm afraid..." Pang Han nodded, and the two entered the restaurant. The waiter greeted them with a smile, "What would you like to eat, sir? There are private rooms upstairs."

Pang Han and Miao Qian went upstairs, ordered a few dishes and a pot of liquor, and even tipped the waiter. The waiter left happily. Pang Han looked around and suddenly saw the assassin sitting at a table in the northwest corner. He was drinking alone, as if waiting for someone.

Miao Qian whispered, "It seems he's waiting for someone. Let's eat first, and we'll see what happens then." Pang Han agreed and started eating and drinking with Miao Qian. A short while later, a man of medium build, probably in his forties, with a very ordinary face, came up from downstairs. He sat down casually at the assassin's table, ordered a drink, downed it in one gulp, and tossed the assassin a bundle. "The money's all in here. You did a good job. The master appreciates your work and invites you to continue working for him."

The assassin snorted, opened the bundle, and looked at its contents. "If I weren't so desperate for money, I wouldn't have done this. I'm lucky to be alive this time. I don't want to risk my life again. I appreciate your kindness, brother."

The man nodded. "In that case, let's part ways here. If you ever need money again, brother, you can come back to me, and I'll arrange a mission for you." The assassin remained noncommittal, continuing to eat. The man left without looking back.

The assassin hurriedly finished his meal, slung his bundle over his shoulder, and went downstairs. Pang Han quickly paid the bill, then pulled Miao Qian downstairs to continue following the assassin. They saw

the assassin walk a short distance down the street before arriving at a luxurious three-story wooden building. A beautifully dressed woman emerged, smiling and saying, "Master, it's been so long! I've missed you terribly."

The assassin shook his head. "Go and call your madam over. I have something to tell her." The woman smiled seductively. "Let's go inside and talk. It's inconvenient outside."

The assassin nodded and followed the woman inside. Pang Han nodded and said, "So this is a brothel. It seems this guy is a lecher."

Miao Qian said, "I can't go inside. You go in and take a look. We can only find out the details by going in." Pang Han nodded and said, "Alright then. Find a place outside and wait for me. I'll be right back."

Miao Qian said, "Who knows how long he'll be inside? Don't be impatient inside, lest you give yourself away and alert him."

Pang Han nodded and said, "You're right. Let's agree on a place, and we'll meet up after I come out." Miao Qian said, "There's a Yuelai Inn not far from here. I'll book a room there under Wang Fang's name. You can come find me then." Pang Han said, "That's a great idea. Okay, I'll go first. Wait for me there."

Miao Qian parted ways with Pang Han and went to the Yuelai Inn to stay. Pang Han, pretending to be a guest, swaggered downstairs. A beautiful young woman greeted him. As soon as Pang Han entered the lobby, he knew this was a high-end place, luxuriously decorated, and the women inside were all stunningly beautiful. Upon seeing Pang Han, they clung to him like glue, constantly uttering sweet nothings. Anyone with weak willpower would have melted long ago.

Having seen many grand occasions, Pang Han remained composed and asked, "Where is your madam?" Just then, a clear voice replied, "Madam is entertaining a distinguished guest. You can wait a moment, or choose a girl first and settle the bill later." Pang Han turned to look and saw a pretty young woman standing before him, about sixteen or seventeen years old, dressed in a bright green dress. She was quiet and lovely, unlike the other women who seemed worldly. Pang Han was initially taken aback, but then a thought struck him. He said, "Then I'll choose you, is that alright?"

Xiao Cui blushed and said, "I'm just serving guests in the main hall for Madam. You should choose another girl." Pang Han laughed, "No matter what you do, it's all the same business. I don't believe that money can't buy women in these brothels." He then pulled out a thousand-tael silver note from his pocket and said, "You accompany me, and this money is yours."

The surrounding girls' eyes lit up; they had never seen such generosity before, and they all urged Xiao Cui to take the job. A familiar girl beside him advised, "You're not getting any younger. Your mother can't let you wait forever. Who knows who your first client will be? If it's a butcher or something, you'll lose a fortune. This young man is incredibly handsome, refined, and wealthy. Choose him! You won't find another opportunity like this." Xiao Cui gritted her teeth and finally made up her mind, "Alright, then I'll entertain this young man. Let's go to the room."

Led by Xiao Cui, Pang Han arrived at an elegant room. Pang Han sat down, picked up a teacup, and looked around. The furnishings were exquisite, and there were many books on the shelves, not as gaudy as one might imagine. He smiled and said, "This feels more like a young lady's boudoir. May I ask whose room this is? Why is it so elegant?" Xiao Cui lowered her head and said, "This is my room. Actually, I don't want to entertain guests. I only managed to get by using my quick wit and sharp tongue to persuade my mother to work as a hostess in the front hall, without selling my body. Today, seeing your generosity and that you are not like other vulgar men, I've had some thoughts."

Pang Han smiled and beckoned, "Come here, sit on my lap." Xiao Cui blushed and came over. She sat down on Pang Han's lap, and he wrapped his arms around her slender waist, kissing her cherry lips. A delicate fragrance wafted into his nostrils, and he took a deep breath, exclaiming in surprise, "How fragrant! This is the scent of a virgin! Could it be that you are still..."

Xiao Cui was shocked and exclaimed, "Young master, you are amazing! How could you tell?" Pang Han touched his nose and said, "I often deal with women, so I'm quite familiar with this scent. It's not easy for you to remain chaste here." Xiao Cui's eyes reddened, and she said, "My family was once an official family, but because my father suffered a misfortune, our family was..." "I was sold to a brothel because of my own intelligence. If it weren't for my own wit, I probably would have lost my body long ago. But in this place full of tigers and wolves, I can only endure it one day at a time."

She suddenly stood up, knelt down in front of Pang Han, and said, "Although I am in a brothel, I have the ability to judge people. Young master, your speech is refined and your spending is generous. You must be an extraordinary person. I, Xiao Cui, am trapped in this filth and want to entrust my life to a reliable person to save me from this hellhole. If you are unwilling, I will not force you. I will immediately commit suicide rather than give my body to other filthy people." As she spoke, she took out a dagger from her bosom and made as if to stab it in the throat.

Pang Han quickly stood up, flicked his finger lightly, and the gleaming dagger flew to the ground with a whoosh. Xiao Cui stared in disbelief. "So you, young master, are also a highly skilled martial artist? I didn't realize that." Pang Han smiled and pulled Xiao Cui up. "Since you remain untainted by this filth, how could I refuse to grant your wish? Don't worry, it's just redeeming you, a small matter. I will definitely do it for you."

Xiao Cui was overjoyed. "Are you serious, young master?" Pang Han said unhappily, "I always keep my word. Of course, I'm not lying." He took out several silver notes from his pocket and said, "This is fifty thousand taels of silver. Is that enough to redeem you?" Xiao Cui trembled with excitement. The thought of escaping this hellish place filled her with boundless joy. She regarded Pang Han as a god and knelt down again to kowtow. She bowed her head and said, "I am deeply grateful to you for saving my life, young master.

I could never repay even a fraction of your kindness, even if I were to serve you like a slave for the rest of my life." Pang Han pulled her up and said, "Don't worry, now that I've chosen you, I won't let you suffer any grievances. You'll be my woman, and I won't let you suffer any losses." He then tore off his mask and said, "Now that we've laid everything out, I won't hide it from you anymore. I actually came here for something else. Will you help me?"

Xiao Cui looked at Pang Han's handsome face, her heart trembling. She thought, "So his face was fake. Fortunately, this face is much more handsome than before. I knew I hadn't made a mistake." "People." She was secretly delighted and naturally willing to do anything, immediately nodding and saying, "Young master, please tell me what you need. I know this place very well; you could say I know everything."

Pang Han nodded. "That's good. Then let me ask you, what was the name of the middle-aged man who just came in before me, and what was he doing here?"

Xiao Cui asked疑惑地, "You mean Wang Mingyuan? He's a regular here, and he's actually here for someone." Pang Han hummed in agreement. "Tell me, what exactly happened?" Xiao Cui said, "We have a girl here named Yuexing. She used to be Wang Mingyuan's lover, but later Wang Mingyuan accidentally killed someone and was imprisoned." "The prison is a place where Yuexing came from a poor family. She was sold here by her family. Later, Wang Mingyuan was pardoned and released from prison. He was then taught martial arts by a famous master. After his release, he inquired about Yuexing's whereabouts, wanting to redeem her. However, the ransom was as high as ten thousand taels of silver. He had told Yuexing when he left a month ago that he would definitely redeem her. Today, he has come, so he must have brought the ransom."

Pang Han nodded. "I see. So where is that Miss Yuexing now?" Xiao Cui said, "She lives next door to me. I suppose Wang Mingyuan is talking to her right now."

Pang Han was secretly delighted. He channeled his inner strength, and his hearing instantly penetrated the walls, allowing him to hear everything being discussed in Yuexing's room. A voice said, "Yuexing, I've raised the ransom. We can go now." Yuexing replied, "But I've gotten used to life here and don't want to go out and suffer again."

Wang Mingyuan said, "How can you say that? I made a huge sacrifice to earn ten thousand taels of silver to redeem you. Only then can we live a happy life."

Yuexing said, "Brother Wang, I appreciate your kindness, but I'm no longer the person you used to be with. I hope you'll forget me. Take this money; you can live a good life."

Wang Mingyuan roared, "How can you be so shameless? What's so good about this life that's worse than a pig's or a dog's? Come with me now, or I'll kill you!" Yuexing refused to come, and Wang Mingyuan scolded her loudly, tearing her clothes. Then came Yuexing's struggles and cries, followed by increasingly soft moans. Clearly, Wang Mingyuan had carried her to the bed.

Upon hearing the commotion, Pang Han's desire stirred. Seeing his strange expression, Xiao Cui asked, "What are you doing, young master?" Pang Han smiled and said, "Nothing, I'm just lost in thought."

Seeing Xiao Cui's beautiful appearance, he couldn't resist pulling her into his arms again and beginning to undress her. Xiao Cui grabbed Pang Han's hand and said, "Young master, my body will be yours sooner or later, but I'm always cautious, and I'm afraid you'll take advantage of me and then abandon me. So I..."

Once Pang Han's interest was aroused, he didn't care about anything else. He tore open her clothes, revealing her snow-white, delicate skin. He buried his head in it, took a deep breath, and sighed, "I've met many girls, but the scent of your virginity is the purest. In such a filthy and chaotic place, it's not easy for you to remain chaste."

Tears streamed down Xiao Cui's snow-white cheeks as she said, "Since you know how hard it is for me, young master, don't be so impatient. Wait until you get me out of this hellhole, then I'll serve you."

Pang Han wouldn't listen to any of this, panting heavily, "Since you'll give it to me sooner or later, why not give it to me now? The money I gave you isn't fake, why would I lie to you? Being too cautious is not good. Today is an auspicious day, let's have some fun, then you'll know my benefits."

Xiao Cui resisted softly, but Pang Han wouldn't allow her to be so presumptuous. In no time, he stripped her naked, her beautiful body like a blooming white lotus. He looked her up and down carefully. Xiao Cui said shyly, "Since you want to do it, hurry up..." "Don't just stand there looking around, you're making me feel embarrassed."

Pang Han laughed, "Such a beautiful work of art, it would be a real shame not to admire it. Let me kiss you for a while first." He picked up Xiao Cui and kissed her all over. Xiao Cui felt hot all over and moaned, "Young master, you're so...so amazing, I feel so good." Pang Han laughed, "This is just the beginning. You'll see what I'm capable of in a moment."

He laid Xiao Cui down on the couch, touching and kissing her as he did so, applying all his skills to her. Instantly, Xiao Cui became excited and cried out repeatedly. Although she had never been a client before, she had been exposed to such things and knew a thing or two. So, under Pang Han's... Unburdened by any pretense of girlish modesty, Xiao Cui immediately displayed boundless charm, perfectly complementing Pang Han. Their coordination was seamless, and after a passionate encounter, they were inseparable. Xiao Cui, having put on her clothes, said sweetly, "From now on, I belong to you, young master. Do with me as you please

." Pang Han laughed, "Your words sound a bit bloody. Don't worry, I'll treat you well from now on." He pointed to the drops of blood on the bedsheets and chuckled, "You've broken your vows for me; do you expect me to leave you in this godforsaken place? Come with me in a bit. Would you like to wander the world with me?"

Xiao Cui blushed and leaned against Pang Han, saying, "I don't care... " "From the ends of the earth to the highest corners of the world, as long as you don't mind, I'm willing to go anywhere with you."

Pang Han said excitedly, "I'm so glad you said that. From now on, we're one, inseparable." As the two were whispering sweet nothings, Pang Han suddenly heard a noise next door. It was clear that Wang Mingyuan was about to leave with Yuexing. Suddenly, Yuexing screamed, her voice filled with terror. Pang Han quickly got up, dressed, and put on a human skin mask. He said to Xiao Cui, "Stay here and don't move. I'll be right back."

He went next door and saw that the door was open. Wang Mingyuan was already dead at the door, a dagger in his chest. A beautiful woman sat on the floor inside, trembling and unable to speak.

Pang Han asked, "Did you kill him?" The woman must be Yue Xing. She trembled as she replied, "No, it wasn't me. A middle-aged man flew in through the window and killed him, then left. I'm just a weak woman; how could I have that ability?"

Pang Han nodded, glancing at Wang Mingyuan lying on the ground, and sighed inwardly, "You killed my father-in-law for a woman; now you deserve this retribution."

He returned to his room, where Xiao Cui was already dressed. Pang Han said, "I'll ask you one last time: are you willing to come with me?" Xiao Cui firmly replied, "Of course I am. I am willing to follow you forever, young master."

Pang Han nodded. "Alright then. Hurry up and pack your things; don't waste any time." Xiao Cui happily packed her valuables into a bundle and wore it.

Pang Han led Xiao Cui to the main hall, where everyone was in chaos over the death. Pang Han approached the madam and asked, "I want to take this Miss Xiao Cui away from here. What do you think?"

The madam, busy calling for the authorities, paid no attention, assuming it was just some lovesick fool asking casually. She impatiently replied, "This girl is a government-run prostitute. I bought her for a fortune, but she hasn't had a single customer in years. Don't even think about leaving without 20,000 taels of silver."

Pang Han smiled slightly, produced a stack of silver notes, and asked, "Is this enough?" The madam's eyes lit up at the sight of the silver. After carefully counting, she found several thousand taels extra. Overjoyed, her expression changed completely. She immediately sent someone to fetch the indenture and handed it to Pang Han, then respectfully saw the two out.

Xiao Cui bid farewell to her close female friends before leaving, never looking back. Pang Han pulled Xiao Cui to a corner, tore the indenture to pieces, and said, "From now on, you're a free person. You can go wherever you want. I'll give you another chance to choose your future path."

Xiao Cui looked at Pang Han and said firmly, "I'm willing to follow you to the ends of the earth." Pang Han sighed and said, "But if you follow me, you'll suffer in the future."

Xiao Cui shook her head and said, "As long as you don't abandon me, I'll never leave, even if it kills me." Pang Han happily kissed her forehead and led her to Miao Qian's residence. Arriving at the Yue Lai Inn, Pang Han asked the owner, and the waiter led the two to Miao Qian's room.

Miao Qian opened the door and asked in confusion, "Who is this young lady?" Pang Han explained what had happened, and Miao Qian nodded with a sigh. "What you've done is a good deed, but this young lady doesn't know martial arts. It will be very inconvenient for her to come with us."

Xiao Cui, afraid that Miao Qian wouldn't allow her to stay, hurriedly knelt down and said, "Sister, please don't send me away. I can do laundry and cook, I'll do anything for you, just don't send me away."

Miao Qian helped her up and sighed, "I was just expressing my doubts, I didn't really mean to send you away. Get up, come with us for now. As for not knowing martial arts..." "We'll talk about that later."

Xiao Cui was overjoyed to see Miao Qian agree. Pang Han patted her shoulder and said, "I told you long ago, your Sister Miao is a very good person and won't drive you away." Miao Qian rolled her eyes at him and said, "I knew it was your idea. By the way, what's going on over there?"

Pang Han said, "That assassin was named Wang Mingyuan. He's already been killed. It seems they want to eliminate him completely to prevent future troubles. I must find a way to find the mastermind behind it."

Xiao Cui suddenly said, "When I was chatting with Yue Xing before, she mentioned that Wang Mingyuan..." "I've been going to the Lu family teahouse in the west of the city quite often lately. Is there any connection?"

Pang Han said happily, "Xiao Cui is such a good girl. Your information is very important. I'll go to the Lu family teahouse to find out. You all stay here and wait for my good news."

Miao Qian said, "Even if you go to the teahouse, how will you be able to tell who killed Wang Mingyuan?"

Pang Han said smugly, "Didn't I tell you before? Wang Mingyuan had Tang Clan tracking powder on him. The scent of that powder must have clung to the person who killed him. As long as I get to the Lu family teahouse, I'll be able to identify the killer." "Hands, please."

Miao Qian exclaimed, "This move was indeed brilliant. You'd better hurry up and get to the bottom of this so we can decide our next step."

Pang Han approached Miao Qian and Xiao Cui, putting an arm around each of them, and said with a wicked grin, "You two wait for me to come back obediently. You'd better stay in bed and not wear any clothes."

The two blushed deeply. Miao Qian pushed Pang Han away, saying, "With such an important matter at hand, you're still so irresponsible! Hurry up and get things done; we sisters will reward you handsomely."

Pang Han was overjoyed, saying, "Then it's a deal! Remember to wait for me to return."
