Chapter 102 Joyful Whispers
Update Time: 6-19 10:08:01 Words: 1622

Since this was Liu Yu'er's boudoir, few people usually came here. And because Lü Zhi was here, the door wasn't closed.
"Ah..."
Lü Zhi and Liu Yu'er were startled. Upon seeing Long Lin, they seemed somewhat disbelieving, hesitating for a long time before saying, "Is this real?"
At this moment, Liu Yu'er had already covered her head with the quilt, too shy to show herself.
Long Lin stepped forward and embraced Lü Zhi, whispering mysteriously in her ear, "You'll know if I'm serious in a little while!"
Lü Zhi's breathing became rapid. Looking at Long Lin, her large eyes suddenly welled up with tears.
Seeing her expression, Long Lin chuckled and said, "Looks like you really missed me. Come on... I can't wait!"
As the saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder. Just moments ago, Liu Yu'er was teasing him, but now she was no longer shy. Wrapped in a thin blanket, she sat up and said, "Brother Longlin, you're really back! I missed you so much, sister-in-law!"
Lü Zhi rolled her eyes at Liu Yu'er. "You little brat, you're talking nonsense again!"
Longlin saw the two women flirting, clearly trying to change the subject, so he didn't need to think about it anymore and got straight to the point.
"You little vixen, did you say you missed me?"
Longlin said, reaching out from behind to embrace Lü Zhi's slender waist, his large hands cupping her soft breasts.
Lü Zhi gave a soft hum, letting Longlin hold her, but turned back to give him a flirtatious wink.
Longlin chuckled, picked her up, and pressed her down onto the brocade couch.
Liu Yu'er, clutching the blanket, had been huddled in a corner of the couch, but Longlin grabbed her with one hand and pulled her over.
The two women lay side-by-side on the couch, awaiting the caresses of their king. Liu Yu'er's face flushed, her eyes narrowed, while Lü Zhi half-opened her beautiful eyes, looking at Long Lin with a half-smile, the corners of her beautiful lips curving upwards with a hint of smugness.
At this moment, Long Lin suddenly smiled mysteriously, then turned and walked towards the door.
"Brother Long Lin..."
"Long...where are you going?"
Liu Yu'er heard Long Lin's footsteps, her eyes snapping open, and cried out urgently.
Lü Zhi also sat up and asked.
Long Lin turned around and smiled, "I'm going to close the door...why are you so nervous?"
Liu Yu'er murmured softly, "Afraid you'll run away."
When Long Lin returned, the two women had already slipped into the quilt, a half-length pink undergarment casually draped over the bed—the one Long Lin had seen Lü Zhi wearing earlier.
He blew out the lamp and reached for it.
In the darkness, the shy yet joyful whispers of Liu Yu'er and Lü Zhi drifted through the air…
Early the next morning, Long Lin quietly departed, leaving behind the exhausted Lü Zhi and Liu Yu'er, still fast asleep. Under their pillows, he left a letter, telling them he would return soon.
With the true energy of one dragon and seven phoenixes surging within him, Long Lin felt his strength increase significantly. As dawn approached, the wingless flying boat silently landed before the Fire Dragon Village in Dangshan.
Obtaining the phoenix energy from Lü Zhi and Liu Yu'er was only one of his purposes.
A beam of clear light vanished, and Long Lin stored the wingless flying boat in his empty Ruyi bag. With his hands behind his back, he walked towards the Fire Dragon Village.
In just a few months, the Fire Dragon Village had changed dramatically, prompting Long Lin to nod in approval.
By this time, Fire Dragon Stronghold had advanced ten miles. At the mouth of the valley where they had once fought the Dang County government troops, two arrow towers, each over three zhang high, built of large stones, had been erected.
On each tower stood a dozen or so Fire Dragon Stronghold henchmen dressed in black with red turbans covering their heads, each carrying a long spear. Rockets and thunderbolts were also mounted on the tower platforms.
"Who's there? State your name!" Before
Long Lin even entered the range of the arrow towers, someone on top shouted.
The henchmen all raised their spears and aimed at Long Lin.
Long Lin stood with his hands behind his back, slightly channeling his inner energy, and said, "Second-in-command of Fire Dragon Stronghold, Long Lin!" He then smiled slightly.
The henchmen on the arrow towers were all startled, exchanged glances, and one of them ran down. Someone shouted, "Second-in-command, wait a moment, we'll go inform the First-in-command!"
A short while later, two fast horses galloped in like a whirlwind, carrying Liu Bang and Chang Tianba.
Two horses galloped out of the village gate. Liu Bang dismounted, rushed forward, and embraced Long Lin, laughing heartily, "Fourth Brother, you're finally back! I've missed you so much!"
Chang Tianba also chuckled, saying, "Master, we've been thinking of you every day!"
Long Lin patted Liu Bang's shoulder and smiled, "I'm sorry to have troubled you, Second Brother. Is everything alright in the village?"
"All good, all good!"
Liu Bang replied. The three then walked into the village. Someone had already brought over a fast horse. The three spurred their horses and galloped towards the Fire Dragon Cave.
Long Lin saw that the Fire Dragon Village was more than three times larger than before, with over five thousand men. It had become the largest village in Dangshan, controlling a radius of three hundred li, and even the Dangxian Prefecture dared not easily provoke it.
That night, to celebrate Long Lin's return, the Fire Dragon Village held a grand banquet. Liu Bang, Chang Tianba, and Ying Tong were all present, and of course, Long Lin's ten beautiful wives and concubines were also there.

Seeing the Fire Dragon Village flourish, Long Lin was overjoyed. After all, Liu Bang had truly transformed from a rogue, his five elements' energy growing stronger day by day.
"A golden carp is no ordinary fish; it transforms into a dragon upon encountering wind and thunder!"
Long Lin, having guided Liu Bang onto this path, finally breathed a sigh of relief. If Liu Bang could ascend the throne step by step and then forge the Five Emperors Bell, then Long Lin could return to the modern world.
However, Long Lin was also well aware that things wouldn't be so simple. With Liu Bang's current strength, ascending the throne would be extremely difficult.
Since experiencing the Azure Emperor and the subsequent events involving immortals and demons, Long Lin suddenly understood that since he, Long Lin, could travel through time to this place, the history here might have changed.
If Liu Bang were to successfully ascend the throne according to historical records, he would need to work even harder. Otherwise, if nothing changes, Long Lin could simply find a place to live in seclusion and practice his skills. Once Liu Bang forged the Five Emperors Bell, he could simply borrow its power to return to the modern world – wouldn't that be much easier?
"Husband, when will you take us out?"
In the bedroom of the bridal chamber, a large bed over three zhang wide and two zhang long lay in the middle, surrounded by beautiful women. Qi Xian nestled in Long Lin's arms, looking up with a smile as she asked.
"Don't rush, I'll take you away soon!"
Long Lin said softly, gently making circular motions on her large breasts.
Yu Mang lowered her head, silent, peeling a melon and slicing it into small, thin pieces with a dagger, feeding them to Long Lin.
Xue Niang, the gentlest of them all, was giving him a foot massage.
A Zhao, Xiang Ru, Pei Ling, Xin Yan, and other beauties were all beside him, massaging him.
"Husband, we don't want to leave you again!"
Qi Xian said again.
Long Lin smiled gently, but remained silent. He knew that was impossible.
"Sister Qi Xian, didn't husband say he was going to take us away? It has to be for some mission!"
The petite and charming Pei Ling blinked and said to Qi Xian. "Our lives were given to us by husband, and we have no complaints no matter what, as long as husband doesn't forget us."
"My little Ling'er knows how to care for people!"
Long Lin smiled, released Qi Xian, and then pulled Pei Ling into his arms, kissing her on the cheek.
"Husband, I want some too!"
Yuan He, who was kneeling and massaging Long Lin's shoulders, also leaned in and said.
"Okay, come on, um..."
Long Lin naturally accepted all requests, but he didn't expect that once he agreed to Yuan He's request, the other beauties would make requests one after another, so Long Lin had to kiss them all before he was satisfied.
"How did your martial arts training go while I was away?"
Long Lin asked leisurely, squinting his eyes and comfortably lying on Xiangru's flat stomach.
"Reporting to my husband, seven out of the ten of us have already cultivated true qi, and three of us can already teleport!"
said Xue Niang, the eldest of the ten beauties.
"Really?"
Long Lin said with delight.
Xue Niang nodded slightly and winked at Yu Mang beside her. Yu Mang agreed, twisted her body, and with a gust of wind, she appeared in another corner of the room.
At this moment, Qi Xian made her move, and a clear white true qi sword pierced out, instantly creating a hole the size of a finger in the wall.
"Good, good!" Long Lin clapped his hands and laughed.
"Husband, can you take us out now?"
Long Lin said, "Of course! But after you go out, we may not see each other for a long time. In case you miss me, I will now..."
As he spoke, he chuckled and rolled over onto Pei Ling in his arms.
The temperature in the dormitory instantly rose as the faces of the ten beauties flushed as if they were feverish; they suddenly felt hot.
The Fire Dragon Cave was indeed very hot, and soon
both Long Lin and the ten beauties were drenched in sweat. Long Lin channeled his inner energy, like a god, serving the ten beauties until their cries were soft and low, their expressions utterly captivated, one after another collapsing onto the brocade couch, motionless, before finally stopping.
Finally, embracing Xue Niang, who was still awake, filled with intense passion, he whispered some words to her.
Early the next morning, before the beauties had even woken up, Long Lin met with Liu Bang and the others and flew away from Dangshan.
However, this time he didn't fly directly back to the Alchemy Room of the Imperial Observatory, but went directly to the Qin Palace.
Long Lin had been to the Qin Palace once before and remembered the route clearly. However, the Qin Palace was heavily guarded, and he couldn't simply sneak in.
After all, many highly skilled Daoists and countless guards from the Imperial Observatory were there.
However, he had no intention of going in. He simply handed a gold ingot and a letter to the guard at the door, then went to the largest restaurant in Xianyang.
In a private room on the third floor overlooking the distant view of Xianyang, Long Lin ordered a few dishes and a pot of fine wine, drinking alone.
In the afternoon, a slender young man dressed in brocade entered the restaurant. After whispering a few words to the waiter, he went straight to Long Lin's private room on the third floor.
"Brother Long, what can I do for Zi Ran?" the young man asked with a smile when he saw Long Lin.
Long Lin glanced at him and smiled slightly, "Zi Ran, you look quite handsome dressed as a man. Come, sit down, I have something to ask of you."
Zi Ran smiled and sat down opposite Long Lin. She was one of the beauties Long Lin had sent to Xianyang from Dangshan. On the journey, besides Chu Yu'er, she was the closest to Long Lin.
After entering the palace, she wasn't made a concubine by the First Emperor, but instead became a female official in the Qin Palace, currently managing over a hundred palace maids.
"What is it, brother? Tell me, I sneaked out," Zi Ran said crisply, her clean brows revealing a touch of heroism.
Long Lin pondered for a moment, then said, "Zi Ran, as you know, there were dozens of sisters who entered Dangshan with you back then. Some voluntarily stayed at Fire Dragon Village, while others were sent back to their hometowns. Now, a few sisters want to enter the palace. Can you arrange it?"
Zi Ran thought for a moment and readily replied, "How many? If it's a dozen or so, I can arrange it."
Long Lin wanted to use Zi Ran's influence to send the Ten Beauties of Dangshan into the Qin Palace as a covert force, then find an opportunity to capture Consort Yu and obtain the ninth Phoenix Qi.
Seeing Zi Ran readily agree, Long Lin laughed, "Alright, when will I bring her?"
Zi Ran smiled, "Anytime is fine."
Long Lin said, "Thank you, Sister Zi Ran. You can use this gold to bribe officials in the palace." He then took two gold bars from his empty Ruyi bag and placed them on the table.
"Since that's the case, then I won't stand on ceremony. As for thanks, Brother Long, please don't mention it. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would be dead already,"
Zi Ran said, taking the gold bars from the table and taking her leave.
Long Lin also got up, went downstairs to settle the bill, then left the city, boarded his wingless flying boat, and returned to Dangshan.

When the ten beauties boarded the wingless flying boat, they were almost stunned. They had never ridden in such a magical vessel before. No matter how skilled they were, they couldn't fly faster than these things.
"Husband, are you already an immortal?"
Qi Xian asked Long Lin as the clouds drifted by.
Long Lin smiled slightly and said, "Not an immortal yet, but when I become one, I'll make one of these for each of you!"
He didn't let Xue Jun appear, afraid that her presence would make them all feel inferior.
"Really, husband, we love you to death!"
Qi Xian hugged Long Lin, her eyes shining brighter than the stars.
"Alright, stop being so mushy!" Long Lin smiled and gently pinched her pretty nose. He then turned to the others and said, "Well, that's about it. I'll start assigning tasks."
In the open space outside Xianyang City, Long Lin put away his wingless flying boat and walked with the Ten Beauties into the city.
Although the Ten Beauties were all beautiful women, they were not weaklings. By normal standards, each of them could easily take on a hundred elite Qin Empire soldiers.
Long Lin led the way, with the Ten Beauties following behind, and they used their movement techniques to rush into Xianyang City. Long Lin, leading them, naturally wouldn't go through the city gate, but instead chose a secluded spot and scaled the wall.
"Brother Long, have all the sisters arrived?"
In a small alley in the residential area of the east of the city, Long Lin found Zi Ran waiting for them. Upon seeing Long Lin, Zi Ran spoke.
The ten beauties followed behind Long Lin, each reserved and silent.
Long Lin smiled and said, "Come on, all of you. You must ensure they are safely delivered to the Qin Empress's palace. Also, if possible, make sure a few people stay by Chu Yu'er's side. I trust Chu Yu'er more."
Zi Ran glanced thoughtfully at Long Lin, then nodded and said, "Brother Long, don't worry, I'll definitely handle this."
Long Lin looked at Zi Ran's puzzled expression, as if she wanted to ask but dared not, and smiled inwardly. This girl, Zi Ran, had indeed become much more mature; she knew what not to ask. He could cultivate her properly in the future. He then said, "Zi Ran, I feel more at ease leaving them in the Qin Palace with you all here. Also, they sometimes have special matters to attend to, and I hope you can be understanding. I will tell you everything later."
Zi Ran smiled sweetly and said, "As long as Brother Long trusts me, Zi Ran will certainly serve you."
She looked at the ten beauties of Dangshan, then glanced at the sky and said, "Brother Long, it's getting late. I'll take them back to the palace first and arrange their entry."
Long Lin nodded to Zi Ran, then said to the ten beauties, "You must listen to Sister Zi Ran and settle down in the palace for now. I will come to find you later!"
The ten beauties agreed and left with Zi Ran.
When Long Lin returned to the alchemy room, Daoist Wuye was waiting for him with a smile.
Seeing Daoist Wuye's enigmatic smile, Long Lin felt uneasy and asked, "Senior Brother Wuye, what happened?"
"Long Lin, didn't you rescue three women disguised as men when you first entered the city a few days ago?"
Daoist Wuye asked with a smile.
Long Lin was secretly startled. How did he know about this? Could it be that Shangguan Shuyuan had told him even such trivial matters? That shouldn't be possible. Seeing the strangeness of Daoist Wuye's question, Long Lin's mind raced.
"Yes… I rescued a few women. How did Senior Brother Wuye know?"
Although Long Lin was puzzled, he was certain that Daoist Wuye wouldn't have any ulterior motives, so he smiled slightly and answered truthfully.
"If you hadn't told me, of course I wouldn't have known! But now that their enemy has come looking for them, I have no choice but to ask."
After hearing Long Lin's answer, Daoist Wuye chuckled and clapped his hands twice behind his back.
"Enemies?"
The images of those burly men immediately flashed through Long Lin's mind. In fact, Long Lin had later secretly thought that those burly men, daring to commit such acts openly in broad daylight in the heavily guarded city of Xianyang, must have some powerful backing. However, Long Lin had no time to think about it now, because a dozen men in black had already sprung out like ghosts from the fire chamber cave behind him, each wielding a cold blade and surrounding Long Lin.
These men in black moved swiftly and nimbly, each with a pair of gleaming eyes on their black-covered faces. The blades they held were rare treasures, and even from a distance, one could faintly feel the chill emanating from them.
These people were not simple!
A quick glance told Long Lin that if he were to fight these people, he would likely not fare well. Moreover, he was currently in the alchemy room of the Imperial Observatory, and Daoist Wuye had tacitly allowed them to deal with him. Even if he could escape this calamity, he might not be able to escape the Imperial Observatory altogether. Because either Wu Ye Daoist or the guardian Daoist on the Nine Dragon Wall would be difficult for Long Lin to deal with.
While rapidly searching for a solution, Long Lin's face remained calm, and he smiled serenely, "Senior Brother Wu Ye, what exactly is going on?"

Chapter 105 Princess Yu Ling
Update Time: 6-20 11:42:09 Words: 1574

In the Alchemy Room of the Imperial Observatory.
A dozen men in black surrounded Long Lin, each exuding murderous intent and glaring menacingly, as if a great battle could erupt at any moment.
Wu Ye Daoist stood at a distance, hands behind his back, and smiled at Long Lin, "Long Lin, I don't know what happened either. You should take responsibility for your own actions!"
At this moment, one of the men in black suddenly waved his hand, and the dozen or so men in black shouted simultaneously, attacking Long Lin.
The whistling of swords piercing the air rang out, and Long Lin's body suddenly spun, his phantom-shifting movement technique shooting to the side like a ghost.
"Explain things clearly before you attack!"
Long Lin said. He didn't want to fight, but they were clearly trying to kill him; could he really escape? Long Lin moved, and the men in black moved with him. Sword shadows flickered, but they never left Long Lin's vital points.
Long Lin inwardly gasped; these men in black were all experts! Moreover, they seemed to have practiced a special formation, their advances and retreats measured, their reactions extremely fast.
Although Long Lin opened his mouth to ask a question, the men in black didn't answer, only silently thrusting their blades to attack.
Long Lin coldly glanced at Wu Ye Dao Ren, seeing Wu Ye Dao Ren standing with his hands behind his back, seemingly watching the fight with a calm expression, he secretly hardened his heart, gritted his teeth, and his body suddenly spun like a storm, ignoring the sharp sword stabbing diagonally at his shoulder, and violently kicked a black-clad man wielding a bronze short sword, sending him flying three feet through the chest.
The instant the sharp sword pierced Long Lin's shoulder, his internal energy surged forth, forcefully knocking the sword away.
Blood flowed from the wound, but Long Lin showed no sign of distress. He ducked to avoid a slash from behind, instantly shifting half a foot to the side, dodging two incoming swords. With a swift grab, he drew his rifle bayonet. With
two clangs, he parried the two blades, then released the safety, chambered a round, and pointed the dark muzzle at the nearest black-clad man.
"Stop!"
Long Lin, about to pull the trigger, stopped upon hearing the familiar shout.
A dozen black-clad men immediately lowered their weapons and retreated to the side. Only the one kicked by Long Lin and the one severely wounded by his internal energy surge remained, struggling on the ground.
They were tough men, though severely injured, they gritted their teeth and remained silent.
"Brother Long, it really is you!"
the voice called out, exceptionally sweet and captivating.
Long Lin turned his head and saw a petite and beautiful woman emerge from the fire chamber.
She wore a tight-fitting satin dress with soft armor on her chest and shoulders, and deerskin boots. Her clear, bright eyes on her flawless face shone with a hint of surprise.
"It's you?"
Long Lin was slightly taken aback, his gun lowering slightly. The woman before him was none other than the one he had rescued from the Xianyang restaurant, disguised as a man—the Qin princess Shangguan Shuyuan had told him about, the thirteenth daughter of the First Emperor, Princess Yuling.
"Brother Long, I've been looking for you so long!"
Princess Yuling had changed her clothes again, transforming from a dashing young man into a graceful young woman. Her eyes were filled with shyness as she walked towards Long Lin.
"Miss, I think you've mistaken me for someone else!"
Long Lin coldly raised his gun, aiming it at Princess Yuling, his face expressionless. Long Lin knew she was the third princess of the First Emperor, and with a quick thought, he understood the implications. From the skill and ruthlessness of the men in black, he knew this woman was not someone to be trifled with.
Long Lin wasn't afraid of her, but considering both his own personality and deeper considerations, he wouldn't easily greet her with a smile.
*Swish, swish…
* The men in black, who had previously sheathed their weapons, suddenly drew them again. The atmosphere instantly became tense.
"Insolence!"
Princess Yu Ling's eyebrows furrowed, and she coldly addressed the men in black. Unfazed by Long Lin's menacing gun barrel, she gave him a reproachful look, her beautiful face suddenly widening in surprise.
She exclaimed, "Brother Long, are you injured?" She was about to step forward, but Long Lin's bayonet suddenly jerked, and he coldly said, "Please have some self-respect, young lady. I already said you've mistaken me for someone else!"
Princess Yuling's concern was coldly rejected, and two embarrassed blushes immediately appeared on her face. However, after a slight pause, she coldly asked, "Who injured Brother Long?"
At this moment, the black-clad man who had just stabbed Long Lin struggled to his feet, clutching his chest, and said, "Princess, I deserve to die."
"Then die!"
Princess Yuling gritted her teeth and said coldly.
"Yes! Take care, Princess!"
The black-clad man answered without hesitation, raising his long sword backward and thrusting it towards his own abdomen.
"Bang!"
Long Lin turned his gun and pulled the trigger. A wisp of smoke rose from the bayonet muzzle, and the black-clad man's long sword was knocked from his hand. He groaned and fell backward to the ground.
"Princess, a mere injury is not worth the princess's wanton killing!"
Long Lin lowered his hand, and the bayonet turned into a white light and disappeared into his empty bag.

"Brother Long, I only let them test your skills, I really didn't mean to harm you!"
Princess Yuling was first startled, then her eyes reddened, and she said aggrievedly.
Long Lin smiled, then said, "Since it was a misunderstanding, accidental injuries are inevitable in sparring, why should the princess hold it against him?" That subordinate was willing to die for her, so he must have followed her for quite some time. But this person in front of him took his life with just one sentence. Besides, the fault wasn't entirely his. A princess is a princess, she treats human life as worthless. This made Long Lin's impression of her, so elegant and beautiful, drop by 70%.
"Don't you really recognize me anymore?"
Princess Yuling looked at Long Lin's aloof expression, lowered her eyes, pursed her lips, and stood there like a child who knew she had made a mistake. Thinking of all the effort she had put in, even sending her personal guards to find him, only to have her benefactor treat her like a stranger because of her momentary mischief, she felt remorseful and tears welled up in her eyes.
"This alchemy room is crude; Your Highness, your precious body should not linger here. I am but a crude alchemist, and I have no fine offerings to serve Your Highness. Please forgive me, Your Highness, and return to the Golden Palace as soon as possible! Senior Brother Wuye, don't you agree?"
Long Lin looked at the helpless Wuye Daoist and said. This Princess Yuling was the thirteenth daughter of the First Emperor. If she were to acknowledge herself as her savior now, it would immediately spread like wildfire, and she would become the focus of everyone's attention and discussion. Her past deeds, which were enough to lead to the annihilation of her family, would inevitably be exposed. Not only would her plans be completely disrupted, but many others would likely be implicated. Weighing the pros and cons, Long Lin immediately issued an order to leave.
"This..."
Daoist Wuye hesitated for a moment. Princess Yuling had previously said that Long Lin was her savior, and she wanted to surprise him by meeting him and joking with him. He had agreed, but he hadn't expected things to turn out this way. On one side was the princess's aggrieved tears, and on the other was Long Lin's cold and unyielding stance. Even with his vast experience, he was at a loss for what to do.
"Alright, since Brother Long doesn't want to acknowledge me, I, Yuling, won't force you,"
Princess Yuling said, raising her head and biting her cherry lips. However, she then added, "This princess has taken a liking to this alchemy workshop and intends to stay here permanently."
"Princess, how can this be?"
Daoist Wuye was also moved. If the princess really took charge of the alchemy workshop, his carefree days would be over.
Princess Yuling ignored Daoist Wuye and addressed the men in black, saying, "Go back and tell my father that I, Yuling, have been learning alchemy from Daoist Wuye. Though I am a woman, I never forget to serve the Qin Dynasty and share my father's burdens."
Long Lin glanced at Daoist Wuye, who then winked at him. Long Lin had made up his mind, but remained calm, saying to Princess Yuling, "Princess, please go ahead. I take my leave!" With that, he returned to his inner chamber in the alchemy hall.
Princess Yuling, seeing Long Lin leave, felt a surge of anger. She looked at the men in black who were still standing there, her jade-like face darkening as she coldly ordered, "Go now!"
"Yes!" the men in black replied in unison. However, the leader of the men in black hesitated for a moment, then said, "Princess, I request permission to stay and protect you. Should we also send some palace maids to prepare some supplies?"
"Hmm."
Princess Yuling had just declared in a fit of pique that she would stay in the alchemy workshop, without considering these matters. Now she realized that staying alone in the workshop, spending so much time with Long Lin and Wu Ye, would indeed be inconvenient. She then said, "Then let Mei Xiang and Dan Xiang come, bringing some simple necessities. As for protection, that's unnecessary. Surely Master Wu Ye can protect this princess's safety?"
"Even if I were to be shattered to pieces, I would certainly protect the princess," Master Wu
Ye hurriedly replied. He couldn't help but inwardly groan; with this young lady here, his alchemy workshop would likely be in turmoil. Thinking this, he subconsciously glanced at Long Lin's inner chamber.
The man in black agreed and quickly left with a dozen or so other men in black.
"Princess, please..." Master
Wu Ye inwardly groaned, but couldn't show it on his face, and quickly invited Princess Yuling to sit inside.
Princess Yuling, seeing Master Wuye's helpless expression, chuckled and said, "Senior Brother Wuye, you don't need to be so polite. From today onwards, I will learn alchemy from you. Besides, your meditation room is too filthy; I'll go tidy it up for you."
Seeing Princess Yuling's obsequious smile, Master Wuye felt increasingly uneasy and hurriedly said, "Your Highness is of noble birth; how could I dare trouble you?" Saying this, he took the lead, walking to the door of his inner chamber. With a flick of his sleeve, the wine jars and miscellaneous items inside were swept away. At the same time, a flash of clear light appeared, and an ivory jade bed, mahogany tables and chairs, incense burners, and exotic flowers and herbs filled the room. The previously dilapidated and dirty room was instantly transformed, as if washed clean, into a spotless and magnificent space. Especially striking was the bowl-sized pearl hanging in a golden cage above the ceiling, its light so bright it seemed to transport one to a dreamlike realm.
"Senior Brother Wuye, your magical power is truly amazing!"
Princess Yuling exclaimed with a smile, seeing that True Person Wuye had spared no effort in transforming the inner room in an instant.
"Princess, because this alchemy workshop is cramped, there are no extra rooms. Please don't mind, and stay here for now."
True Person Wuye breathed a slight sigh of relief upon seeing Princess Yuling's smile. He wiped the sweat from his brow and said.
Princess Yuling gently shook her head and smiled, "I came here as a disciple to learn, how could I let the steward make room for me? Thank you for your consideration, Senior Brother, but I absolutely cannot stay here."
"This?"
True Person Wuye hesitated, then tentatively asked, "Where would the Princess like to stay? I will use my magical power to renovate it myself."
"There!"
Princess Yuling pointed to the inner room where Long Lin resided, a mischievous smile playing on her lips.

Chapter 107 Spirit Condensation Pill
Update Time: 6-21 12:47:14 Words: 1791

At the eastern end of Xianyang City, there is an enormous manor, the Prime Minister's Residence, second only to the Qin Emperor's Palace in size. This is the residence of Zhao Gao, the Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty, who is second only to the Emperor.
Deep within this magnificent manor, comparable to a royal palace, in a heavily guarded hall, sits a gaunt, richly dressed old man with a cunning face on his throne.
Below him, on two rows of chairs, sit a dozen or so people of various social and Taoist origins.
"This surprise attack on the Qi Palace failed; was someone inexplicably involved?"
The gaunt, cunning-looking old man in fine clothes remained silent for a long while before finally speaking. He was the owner of this house, none other than Zhao Gao, the current Prime Minister.
"Your Excellency, it is indeed so! Everything was arranged perfectly, but an unexpected turn of events occurred. The Old Mother of Jiushan, who was in charge of clearing the altar, not only failed to kill the head of the Prayer Hall, but was also injured. According to the Old Mother of Jiushan, a man suddenly appeared in the altar, disrupting all plans."
At this moment, a burly man with a rough face, wearing animal skin and with half an arm bare, spoke from below.
"Where is the Old Mother of Jiushan?"
Zhao Gao stroked his sparse beard and asked. In this surprise attack on the Prayer Hall, he had mobilized the demon beast King Amona and even used a secret method to activate the ancient demon beast Soul-Devouring Black Wind Ox, thinking that he would surely be able to seize the treasure. However, he did not expect that he would fail at the last minute, and even caused the Prayer Hall to activate its protective array. Seizing the treasure now would be much more difficult.
"Your Majesty, Old Mother Jiushan was utterly destroyed by Zhang Miaohan, the head of the Protectorate Hall. If it weren't for her secret technique of guiding spirits, she probably wouldn't have escaped this calamity. However, after this, she will likely need a hundred years to regain human form,"
Amona reported.
Zhao Gao sighed and said, "Old Mother Jiushan is a reclusive master you invited. I truly cannot bear to see her suffer such a severe injury. I will grant her a Spirit Condensation Pill, which can aid her cultivation for three hundred years."
Amona's thick, dark eyebrows twitched slightly. This Spirit Condensation Pill was no ordinary elixir; it was a divine pill capable of reviving the dead and restoring flesh to bones. One pill could aid a cultivator's cultivation for a hundred years, and for an ordinary animal, just one pill would instantly transform it into a human. He hurriedly said, "Thank you for your kindness, Prime Minister. With such generosity towards your subordinates, I believe even more capable people will flock to serve you in the future!"
Zhao Gao nodded and then said, "Bring the Old Mother of Jiushan up here!" He then turned to a black-clad man wearing a tiger-shaped mask beside him and said, "Yi Hu, go and fetch the Spirit Condensation Pill!"
The black-clad man bowed in agreement and turned to leave. At this moment, Amona also made a grabbing motion in the air, and a flash of black light appeared in his hand. From somewhere, he produced a small eagle that seemed ready to take flight.
The eagle's eyes were not yellowish-brown, but crimson red, and its feathers were as black as ink. It looked at Zhao Gao and cried out twice.
At this time, the black-clad man named Yi Hu had already taken out a red jade box. Seeing Zhao Gao's signal, he opened the jade box, and the entire hall was immediately filled with a refreshing fragrance.
The box gleamed with a pearly light, revealing a clear, translucent pill, as pure as a pearl, exuding a delicate fragrance and brimming with spiritual energy. It was none other than the Spirit Condensing Pill, a treasure only the Imperial Astronomical Bureau of the Qin Dynasty could refine.
Upon seeing the pill, the black eagle's crimson eyes lit up, its wings flapping as if it were drooling with desire.
Yi Hu, holding the jade box, descended the steps to the black eagle, took out the Spirit Condensing Pill, and offered it to the eagle's beak.
The black eagle swallowed the pill in one gulp, then leaped off Amon's arm, knelt before Zhao Gao, let out two soft cries, and retreated to the side, closing its eyes to meditate.
A wisp of clear light appeared on the black eagle's body after consuming the pill, swirling around it like a cloud, continuously being absorbed with its breath.
Everyone present seemed to forget everything else, their eyes fixed on the transformation of the black eagle.
About the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the black eagle suddenly opened its eyes, a dark light flashing across its body. After the light faded, the eagle, like the light itself, began to twist and stretch, gradually forming a reclining human shape.
The light dissipated, and a stunningly beautiful, alluring young woman appeared in the hall. She stood up, her face filled with surprise, looked around, smiled slightly, and then turned, revealing a black gauze dress draped over her body, concealing her sensitive, thirst-quenching area.
Zhao Gao licked his dry lips, gazing at the graceful young woman, and suddenly clapped his hands, laughing, "Excellent! Fairy Jiushan has returned to human form, even more beautiful and captivating than before!"
This was none other than Old Mother Jiushan, whose soul had been annihilated by Zhang Miaohan. This time, using the power of the Spirit Condensation Pill to reshape her body, she appeared ten years younger than before, as if her appearance had been completely transformed, from a thirty-eight-year-old woman into a twenty-eight-year-old girl.
Old Mother Hatoyama chuckled softly and knelt gracefully, saying, "I, Hatoyama, thank you for bestowing the elixir upon the Prime Minister. From now on, I will serve you to the death."
"You're too kind, Fairy Jiushan!"
Zhao Gao chuckled, then pondered for a moment before saying, "Fairy Jiushan, the name Jiushan used to be too sinister. Now that you've been reborn, thanks to the power of the Spirit Condensation Pill, why not change your name to Lingjiu?"
Old Mother Jiushan immediately knelt again, saying, "Thank you for bestowing this name upon me, Prime Minister."
After rising, she said to Amona, "Thank you for your help, Fellow Daoist."
Amona said, "Fairy Lingjiu, you're too kind. Your new life is entirely due to the Prime Minister's kindness. His favor towards you is so great that it makes us a little envious!"
Lingjiu smiled, her beautiful eyes sparkling, then turned and knelt before Zhao Gao again, softly saying, "I can never repay the Prime Minister's kindness. If the Prime Minister doesn't mind, I wish to follow him for life as his personal concubine. Please grant me your permission."

Chapter 108 Recognizing the Culprit
Update Time: 6-22 11:37:12 Words: 1781

Zhao Gao saw that Ling Jiu was beautiful, even more so than the concubines around the Qin Emperor. Moreover, she possessed magical powers and was loyal to him. So he said, "Fairy Ling Jiu's kindness is too much for me to refuse. How about this, I will appoint you as a lady-in-waiting in the Prime Minister's residence, to stay and protect you."
Fairy Ling Jiu immediately smiled and said, "Thank you for your kind permission, Prime Minister." She stood up gracefully, her beautiful eyes sparkling, her movements graceful and charming, and stepped aside.
Her movement was truly stunning, enough to steal everyone's soul. Zhao Gao coughed lightly, drawing everyone's attention back, and said, "This invasion of Qirang Mountain ended in failure, not because the immortal masters and generals didn't try their best, but because someone sabotaged our plans. Now that Lingjiu has regained her human form, she can reveal that person's name and appearance. I will investigate thoroughly and eliminate this person to quell my hatred!"
Lingjiu then said, "This person is named He Wei, also a member of the Imperial Observatory. He is about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with a handsome and dashing appearance. However, his magical power is not very strong. I don't know how he infiltrated the Imperial Observatory." She had once used Zhang Miaohan's body to have a relationship with Long Lin, and the thought of him still made her feel a little jealous, but at this moment she gritted her teeth, pretending to hate Long Lin to the bone.
"He Wei?"
Everyone immediately started discussing, as no one knew that there was such a person in the Imperial Observatory.
However, Zhao Gao hesitated for a moment and said, "This He Wei, could it be the He Wei who recently entered the Alchemy Room of the Yunwu Hall?" He had seen a memorial on the Qin Emperor's desk, submitted by the current Celestial Master Xu Fu, regarding the shortage of alchemists in the Alchemy Room, and the person recommended was indeed named He Wei.
"He Wei of the Alchemy Room, I will investigate immediately!"
At this moment, a tall, elderly Taoist priest stepped out of the ranks and said to Zhao Gao. He was the head of the Inner Dharma Hall of the Imperial Observatory, named Chu Li'e, with the Dharma name Li'e Zhenren. He was an inside agent among the demons who attacked the Imperial Observatory. At that time, he had used the excuse of exorcising demons to delay Xiao Anran, the master of the Demon Subduing Hall, allowing the demons to successfully enter Qirang Mountain and cause heavy losses to the Qirang Hall.
"Li'e, this matter is entrusted to you! Don't alert them yet. Obtain a portrait of He Wei so that Lingjiu can identify him,"
Zhao Gao said.
At this moment, Lingjiu stepped out of the ranks and said, "Prime Minister, there's no need for that. Lingjiu's appearance is different now, and although I am in demon form, the power of the Spirit Condensation Pill prevents my demonic aura from showing. He Wei would never recognize me again. So, let me handle this matter!"
Zhao Gao pondered for a moment. He Wei was an alchemist appointed by the Qin Emperor, and the alchemy workshop was now a key location of the Imperial Observatory. If this He Wei was not the same He Wei, it would be difficult to handle if the news leaked. He then shook his head and said, "Lingjiu, don't be impatient. This matter is of utmost importance. We should wait until the image arrives before making a judgment! If it is him, you can go then."
Lingjiu had indeed taken a liking to that He Wei. If he hadn't seen through her demon form, she would have already absorbed his essence. Now that she had undergone a complete transformation and possessed the effects of the Spirit Condensation Pill's transformation into a demonic body, all demonic energy had vanished from her very bones. Given He Wei's lecherous appearance, he would surely be completely bewitched by her and readily submit. However, she hadn't expected Zhao Gao to be so cunning, preventing her from infiltrating the Imperial Observatory. She had no choice but to give up and wait for an opportunity. Nevertheless, she had already made up her mind to personally capture He Wei.
"Prime Minister, there's no need to be impatient. If it's a drawing, that's easy.
This humble Taoist can obtain it with just a little magic," Li E Zhen said with a smile.
Zhao Gao nodded. "Very well, then please, True Person Li E, quickly cast your spell."
True Person Li E agreed and began performing hand seals in the hall, gradually entering a meditative state. A visible wisp of white energy drifted out from the top of his head, transforming into a wisp of smoke that floated out of the hall.
A short while later, a wisp of smoke drifted in from outside, then transformed back into the original white energy and entered his head.
Master Li'e slowly opened his eyes, extended his right palm, and a white light appeared, revealing a pure white jade slip in his hand. Holding the jade slip, he chuckled, "Within this jade slip is a portrait of He Wei. I copied He Wei's biography from the guardian of the Nine Dragon Wall using magic; it's absolutely identical to the real person."
"Then quickly show it to me!" Zhao Gao said, his eyes lighting up.
Master Li'e agreed, then gently touched the jade slip with his left hand. A clear, ethereal light, like ripples on water, spread out, forming a mirror-like spiritual light about a foot square, placed before him. As the light swayed, a handsome figure gradually appeared in the spiritual mirror.
"It's him!"
Ling Jiu stepped forward, carefully examined the person reflected in the spiritual mirror, and looked up at Zhao Gao, saying.
Zhao Gao pondered for a moment, then instructed Master Li'e to put away the spirit mirror before saying, "Since that's the case, Li'e, you'll make the arrangements. Tomorrow, send Ling Jiu into the alchemy room under a different identity. After investigating his true identity, eliminate him without anyone noticing!" He then glanced at the expectant Ling Jiu and nodded slightly to her.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will certainly do it," Master Li'e replied.
Ling Jiu returned Zhao Gao's gaze with a charming smile. Although she looked like an eighteen-year-old girl, her mind was that of a thousand-year-old demon, and she could naturally see the special affection in Zhao Gao's eyes.
"Thank you for your permission, Prime Minister! I will certainly not fail your expectations," Ling Jiu replied crisply.
After discussing the matter of invading the Prayer Hall, Zhao Gao immediately dismissed everyone, leaving only Ling Jiu behind him, like a willow swaying in the spring breeze, as they headed towards the inner hall.

Chapter 109 Mysterious Assassination
Update Time: 6-22 19:55:26 Words: 1705

Outside the Alchemy Room of the Imperial Observatory.
Beneath a huge, bare boulder, there was a clearing about an acre in size. Nothing grew on this clearing, except for an ancient, petrified dragon-like tree.
At this moment, a man dressed in blue robes was hanging upside down on the tree's thick, hard branches.
He hung there like a withered log, a faint crimson light with golden edges emanating from his body, as if dyed red by the sunset's glow. His eyes were slightly closed, and his sharply defined, handsome face wore an extremely serene expression.
"Hoo!"
After an unknown amount of time, the man in blue robes suddenly exhaled, his eyes snapping open, two beams of light shooting from them. His body then sprang upwards, leaping onto the branch like a serpent.
He stretched out his hands, and a stream of golden and crimson true energy burst forth, sweeping towards the huge boulder opposite him.
True energy, sharp as a blade, sliced through the rocks like water. With a crack, the top of the round rock was lifted, revealing a smooth, mirror-like platform.
As the dust settled, the man in blue, a faint smile on his face, leaped down from the treetop.
He was none other than Long Lin, the one who had been driven out of the alchemy workshop by the spoiled princess. Princess Yu Ling had taken it for granted and seized his place in the alchemy workshop. Long Lin had moved here himself, carving a stone chamber in the boulder to live in. However, this suited him perfectly. He could now practice the Mind and Strength Scriptures without distraction.
Moreover, he wasn't worried about Princess Yu Ling disturbing him here, unless she forced Master Wu Ye to send her over. Because just off the edge of this small hill, separated from the alchemy workshop, was a cliff more than three zhang wide.
"Living alone is so comfortable!"
Long Lin stretched as he jumped down from the tree, in high spirits.
Suddenly, he stopped abruptly and turned around, a hint of seriousness appearing between his brows. His inner power had now reached the high level of the Transformation Realm, and his perception had become extremely sharp. He coldly said, "Friend, since you're here, why not make the best of it and meet me openly?"
As soon as Long Lin finished speaking, a dozen or so men in black emerged from the rocks and trees, surrounding him.
These men were agile, their eyes gleaming; they were clearly martial arts masters, dressed exactly like the guards Princess Yu Ling had brought, and their strength seemed to be roughly equal.
"What, still not admitting defeat after being humiliated last time?"
Long Lin said with a smile, arms crossed.
"Are you He Wei? The one who saved three boys disguised as girls at the Spring Breeze Pavilion?"
The leader didn't answer Long Lin's question, his eyes flashing as he scrutinized him, speaking in a sinister voice.
Long Lin laughed, "How interesting. Don't you know more about this than I do?" This Princess Yu Ling was truly interesting; first she sent one group to test his strength, and now this second group was meant to kill him?
"Since that's the case, then you admit it. Remember today, because this day next year will be your death anniversary!"
A murderous glint flashed in the black-clad man's eyes. He then nodded slightly to the others. With a whoosh of wind, a dozen black-clad men rushed forward, swords drawn.
"Is that so? Whose death anniversary is still uncertain!"
Long Lin said coldly, his hand seemingly grasping a bayonet. He stepped to the side, channeling all his strength and intent, his body radiating a faint crimson light.
Swoosh...
A figure approached Long Lin. The sword wind spread out, releasing a powerful shockwave.
Long Lin dodged the sword, his heart sinking slightly. These people were clearly much stronger than the previous group. Moreover, he watched coldly as one of them wielded a pine-patterned ancient sword, forming hand seals. A beam of clear light shot from his mouth onto the ancient sword. The ancient sword suddenly flew up, circled once in mid-air, and then automatically thrust towards Long Lin.
There were even those who possessed magical power! Long Lin felt a slight chill; the black-clad men Princess Yu Ling brought last time hadn't known any Taoist arts. This time, it seemed things might not be as simple as before. As soon as Long Lin's thoughts stirred, a cold wind swept behind him, and he instantly shifted half a foot, a sharp sword piercing through the air.
Boom… A ball of light emitted a deafening roar as it hurtled towards Long Lin.
Long Lin's eyes snapped open. He gripped his gun in one hand, his right fist instantly enveloped in a layer of crimson inner energy. With a slight bend in his knees, he launched himself towards the ball of light.
Simultaneously, his left hand expertly pulled the trigger.
A deafening roar erupted as the inner energy collided with the light, exploding into a massive shockwave that sent dust and stones flying.
The two men in black struck by Long Lin's rifle groaned and fell to the ground. The others, seeing this, also showed surprise.
"Go!"
the leader of the men in black shouted, and the remaining men, carrying the two corpses, fled.
Long Lin didn't give chase, because at that moment, others rushed towards them.
"Brother Long, what happened? Those men in black just now…"
The newcomers were none other than Daoist Wuye and Princess Yuling. Princess Yuling asked anxiously.
Since they had failed, why pretend to be concerned! Long Lin sneered and said, "If Princess Yuling intended to punish me, why use such methods? Just order someone to kill me!"
Princess Yuling was shocked and said, "No, who wants to kill you?"
Long Lin glanced at Princess Yuling and said, "Those men in black were sent to kill me. Weren't they sent by Princess Yuling? They look exactly like those men in black last time!"
"No... really no, Brother Long!"
Princess Yuling explained anxiously, her eyes reddening, and she was about to shed tears of grievance.

Chapter 110 The Beauty's Spiritual Charm
Update Time: 6-23 7:21:50 Words: 1820

Wu Ye Daoist then said, "Brother Long, you don't need to be too certain that Princess Yu Ling is the mastermind. Perhaps someone else wanted to harm you and is just framing the princess."
A glint flashed in Long Lin's eyes as he said, "Those people asked me if I had saved three girls disguised as boys at Chunfeng Tower. I didn't deny it, and they attacked me. Besides the princess, who else would know about this?"
"It really wasn't me!"
Princess Yu Ling was speechless, her head bowed, her hands tightly gripping the hem of her clothes, seemingly extremely uneasy.
"Brother Long, what if it were those bullies
who wanted to harm the princess?" Wu Ye Daoist pondered. Long Lin smiled coldly, disdainfully saying, "Do you think it's possible that those low-class hooligans could mobilize such martial arts masters to kill me?"
Princess Yu Ling had fallen silent; she knew Long Lin no longer believed her. However, she gritted her teeth, determined to find those men in black. Wu Ye
Daoist pondered for a moment, then said, "Brother Long, in any case, I don't think it's that simple! Everything needs to be investigated thoroughly before we can proceed."
Long Lin said, "Very well then. Those men in black failed, and I think they won't give up easily; they will definitely return. I will certainly investigate thoroughly then."
"Very well, Princess, let's go back first!"
With that, Wu Ye Daoist bid farewell to Long Lin and turned to leave with Princess Yu Ling. Just then, a white light suddenly shot from the horizon, and a middle-aged man in Daoist robes appeared in mid-air, followed by a beautiful young woman.
Upon seeing this middle-aged man, Wu Ye Daoist hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Senior Brother Qing Xiao, what brings you here?"
This Qing Xiao Daoist was a steward of the Yunwu Hall, and a prized disciple of the hall's head, so even Wu Ye Daoist dared not be disrespectful.
The pale-faced, beardless Taoist chuckled and said, "Junior Brother Wuye, how have you been? I've come here on Master's orders to bring Junior Sister Lingyun to the Alchemy Room to learn alchemy!"
"Greetings, Master Wuye, greetings, Senior Brother He Wei..."
At that moment, the girl named Lingyun, standing atop a cloud, gracefully bowed, her voice as sweet and melodious as a nightingale's song.
Then, the Taoist Qingxiao noticed Princess Yuling standing silently beside him. Startled, he quickly descended from the cloud and bowed, saying, "This humble Taoist was unaware of Princess Yuling's presence and has not paid her any respects. Please forgive me, Princess."
Princess Yuling's mind was filled with the black-clad assassins who had attacked Longlin, and she paid no attention to the Taoist Qingxiao, simply saying, "No need. Ignorance is no excuse!"
"Thank you, Princess!"
The Taoist Qingxiao stood up, his eyes darting around, then he pondered, "What brings you here, Princess? If you wish to return, this humble Taoist can escort you back."
"Hmph, can't I, this princess, learn alchemy here?" Princess Yuling, already annoyed, replied irritably.
Qingxiao Daoist, having met with a rebuff, awkwardly chuckled and said, "Alright, alright!" He then turned to Wuye Daoist and said, "Junior Brother Wuye, Master has instructed us to take good care of Miss Lingyun."
"Please inform Master, Senior Brother Qingxiao, that Wuye will do his utmost to nurture Miss Lingyun!"
Wuye Daoist quickly replied.
"In that case, I will return to report!" Qingxiao Daoist left Lingyun behind and flew away.
Lingyun's large, watery eyes surveyed her surroundings, then glanced at Princess Yuling, who was pursing her lips and looking indifferent. She smiled slightly and stepped forward, saying, "Lingyun greets Princess Yuling."
Princess Yuling glanced at Lingyao and said indifferently, "Rise. Since we'll be working together in the alchemy room from now on, just call me Senior Sister!"
"Thank you, Senior Sister!"
Lingyun stood up and then went to greet Wuye Daoist and Longlin.
Wuye Daoist felt a chill run down his spine upon seeing another woman arrive, as Princess Yuling alone was enough to give him trouble. He then said, "Lingyun, now that you've come to the alchemy workshop, you must study diligently and strive to become an alchemist as soon as possible. Hmm, come back to the alchemy workshop with me and Princess Yuling later to familiarize yourself with the place."
Lingyun glanced at Long Lin with her beautiful eyes and said, "This disciple will obey your command."
"Princess, let's go back!"
said Daoist Wuye.
Princess Yuling hesitated for a moment, then said, "Senior Brother Wuye, the alchemy workshop has limited space. Now that Junior Sister Lingyun has arrived, I'd like to move in and live with Brother Long. Please arrange that inner room for Junior Sister Lingyun."
Although she was a princess, ostensibly there to learn alchemy, she addressed Daoist Wuye as her senior brother and junior sister, a distinction that didn't conflict with Long Lin and Lingyun's relationship.
Daoist Wuye was easygoing and didn't mind the difference in address, so everyone addressed each other respectfully without any conflict.
"Well... alright, Brother Long, you'll have to build another elegant residence for Princess Yuling here."
Wuye Daoist hesitated for a moment, then said somewhat helplessly, before taking his leave and hurriedly departing with Lingyun.
Long Lin was speechless. Although he was unwilling, since Wuye Daoist had made the suggestion, he had no choice but to comply. He remained silent and began constructing a dwelling on the mountainside beside the boulder, channeling his magic power.
Princess Yuling's mood improved slightly. Following behind Long Lin, she said, "Brother Long, do you really think those men in black were sent by me?"
"Princess Yuling, I dare not accept the title of 'brother.' Please respect yourself in the future. As for those men in black who attempted to assassinate me, everything must be determined after a thorough investigation,"
Long Lin said indifferently. Then, he unleashed a powerful palm strike, the crimson energy striking the mountainside and creating a deep hole the size of a head.
Princess Yuling bit her lip, forcing back the tears welling in her eyes. Long Lin's aloof attitude tore at her heart. However, she quickly let out a long sigh, thinking to herself, "Those damned men in black, once I find out who you are, I'll skin you alive and vent my hatred!"

Chapter 111 The Beauty's Jealousy
Update Time: 6-23 12:42:26 Words: 1618

"Brother Long Lin..."
Long Lin was sitting cross-legged on the stone couch, practicing the Intent Sutra, when he heard a familiar voice outside. He opened his eyes and sighed helplessly.
At this moment, Princess Yu Ling had already pushed open the door and entered, carrying a plate of exquisite pastries.
"Brother Long, these are mandarin duck cakes that I had someone make. They're very delicious, you should try some!"
Princess Yu Ling smiled and presented the pastries to Long Lin, her eyes blinking wide, hoping that Long Lin would take a piece and eat it.
Since this girl moved here, she has had nothing else to do all day but try every possible way to please him. However, Long Lin has never been interested in her. Perhaps it's because of her status as a princess of the Great Qin Dynasty, and also because she's too good to him, that he can't bear to refuse. Long Lin is getting a bit of a headache from her antics.
"Hmm, thank you for your concern, Princess Yuling. Leave it there! I still need to cultivate. If there's nothing else, please feel free to do as you please, Princess Yuling!" Long Lin sighed inwardly and said coldly.
Princess Yuling seemed used to Long Lin's indifferent tone and didn't mind at all. She smiled sweetly, "Alright, I'll leave the snacks here. Brother Long, you must eat them whenever you're hungry!"
Watching Long Lin close his eyes and enter a meditative state again, Princess Yuling smiled slightly and said, "Then I won't disturb Brother Long's cultivation. Hmm, I'll take your clothes to wash for you. I'll bring them over when they're dry!"
With that, Princess Yuling walked out the door. Once outside, her eyes reddened slightly, but she suddenly smiled again, letting out a long sigh. "He risked his life to save me, isn't that the best thing for me? He must have his reasons for being like this. But I, Yuling, am not that petty. As long as I'm good to you, that's enough!"
She murmured, a smile appearing on her face, and walked lightly towards the stone cave dwelling beside the house.
Long Lin's thoughts reached Yu Ling, and he heard her mutterings to herself. He couldn't help but frown. This girl, why would she think like that? Sigh… no, what if I lose my temper one day… I still need to find a way to make her give up.
Long Lin murmured, suddenly remembering the newcomer, Ling Yun.
Ling Yun wasn't as willful as Yu Ling; she was usually gentle, obedient, and understanding. Even the Daoist Wu Ye liked her. With this witch, Princess Yu Ling, constantly bothering him, Long Lin was even more enamored.
For some reason, Long Lin felt a strange familiarity with Ling Yun, as if he'd seen her somewhere before, but he couldn't quite place it. Moreover, this familiarity was unpleasant; in his mind, he felt a faint hostility towards Ling Yun.
Of course, Long Lin wasn't stupid; he could also see that Ling Yun was constantly trying to get closer and show him favor, just not as blatantly as Princess Yu Ling.
"Why not do it this way? It will satisfy Lingyun's wishes while also putting an end to Princess Yuling's thoughts." After carefully considering for a while, a mysterious smile suddenly appeared on Long Lin's face.
"Excuse me, is Senior Brother Long here?"
Just then, Lingyun's sweet voice rang out from outside the door. Speak of the devil! Long Lin was secretly delighted and deliberately answered loudly before going down to open the door.
"Oh, it's Junior Sister Lingyun! Come in, come in!"
Long Lin's voice was enthusiastic and loud; he was sure Princess Yuling could hear him.
What's wrong with this man today? Lingyun was slightly surprised, not understanding why Long Lin was being so enthusiastic today. She entered the study under Long Lin's greeting.
"Come, Lingyun, have some snacks! These are what I just brought back from Xianyang!"
Long Lin enthusiastically offered Lingyun the plate of mandarin duck cakes. In his heart, however, he chuckled to himself, thinking that Princess Yuling must be furious right now.
Lingyun smiled charmingly at Long Lin, a hint of tenderness in her beautiful eyes, and said, "Thank you, Brother Long!" She then picked up a pastry with her slender fingers and began to chew it in her cherry-like mouth.
"Senior Brother Long, am I pretty?"
Seeing Long Lin's direct gaze, two blushes crept onto Lingyun's face as she spoke shyly in a low voice.
Long Lin, however, laughed heartily, seemingly unfazed, and said, "Junior Sister Lingyun, you are truly the most beautiful girl I have ever seen!"
"Senior Brother… what are you saying? You're so naughty! I'm getting shy!"
Lingyun giggled playfully.
Just then, the faint sound of something breaking came from not far away. Long Lin was secretly delighted and asked, "Junior Sister, what is it?"
Ling Yun smiled slightly and said, "Senior Brother, Master Wuye has gone out. Ling Yun still has some questions about alchemy techniques and would like to ask Senior Brother for guidance!"
Long Lin laughed and said, "Alright!"
Ling Yun's beautiful eyes flickered, and she said, "How about Senior Brother goes to the Fire Chamber and personally demonstrates it to Ling Yun?"
"Of course!"
Long Lin immediately agreed. This was exactly what he wanted!
At this moment, in the exquisite residence next to Long Lin, Princess Yu Ling was furious, staring out the window. Broken teapot shards were scattered all over the floor, and two maids were silently cleaning them up.
Just now, Long Lin had actually given that little vixen the mandarin duck cakes she had specially made, and even said that he had specially bought them from Xianyang! This was clearly showing her disrespect! No, it wasn't that Brother Long was bad; he was just bewitched by that little vixen!
