[Wuxia] The List of Peerless Beauties of the Jiangshan [Complete] - 23

In the first chapter of the second part of "The Land of Mountains and Rivers,"

Liu Yan appears. Ye

Feng barely suppressed his excitement, took a deep breath, and abruptly turned around. Not far in front of him stood a beautiful and charming woman, with fair skin, a tall figure, and an elegant yet spirited demeanor. It was Liu Yan, the woman who had haunted his dreams for over a year.

Ye Feng called out, "Yan..." but his throat immediately felt blocked, and he couldn't utter another word.

The woman was also stunned, staring at Ye Feng in astonishment, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief. After a long while, tears suddenly streamed down her face, and she said in a trembling voice, "...Feng, is it really you?"

The two gazed at each other for a moment, then suddenly stepped forward and embraced tightly. Holding that soft, familiar body, the past loss, sorrow, and despair of losing all meaning in life instantly became a thing of the past.

After a long while, the two separated. Gazing at Liu Yan's beautiful face, Ye Feng still felt as if he were in a dream. After a long time, Ye Feng finally asked, "Yan, how... how...?" He had so many questions to ask, but he didn't know where to begin.

"It's a long story..."

"Your illness... your illness..." Ye Feng looked at Liu Yan's face and asked in confusion.

"It's all better now."

Indeed, the beauty before him was radiant, and the sickly look on her face had vanished without a trace, filling Ye Feng with another wave of joy.

Liu Yan also gradually calmed down. She opened her mouth to speak, but she had so much to say and didn't know where to begin.

"You..."

There were so many questions to ask, so much to say, but words couldn't express their feelings. In the end, they simply stopped talking, shook hands, and smiled at each other.

After a long while, Liu Yan reached out and stroked Ye Feng's cheek, gazing at him intently for a long time before sighing softly, "It's been years since we last met

, and my Feng has matured even more." Her pretty eyes flickered, and she smiled again, "What, aren't you going to take me back to your Tingyu Courtyard? I heard Yu is now the martial arts champion of the Great Yue Kingdom, and he's married to many beautiful wives and concubines. I heard one of them is even on the list of beauties."

Ye Feng was a little surprised and embarrassed, "You know these things?"

"I know a lot more than that," Liu Yan rolled her eyes at Ye Feng and chuckled.

"Oh, hehe."

Ye Feng couldn't help but return to reality. He didn't know how to talk to Liu Yan about his wives and concubines. He and Liu Yan were both Earthlings, and they both believed in monogamy. Now that Liu Yan was by his side, how should he deal with her and her many wives and concubines? Undeniably, before, Liu Yan was his everything, but now that he had Hua Yi and the others, what should he do?

Headache…

Never mind, I'll think about it when we get back.

Thinking of this, Ye Feng put his arm around Liu Yan's slender waist and smiled, "Yan, let's talk about these things when we get back... Let's go home first..." He was about to start walking when he put his arm around Liu Yan's waist.

Liu Yan glanced around, her pretty face slightly flushed, and whispered, "A lot of people are watching."

Ye Feng saw many people pointing and whispering about them on the street, and thought Liu Yan was still so traditional. He smiled and said, "It's okay, people here are quite open-minded."

Holding Liu Yan, the two walked towards Tingyu Courtyard, whispering all the way.

Ye Feng led Liu Yan back to Tingyu Courtyard. As soon as they entered, they heard laughter and chatter. Inside, they saw Hua Yi, Yang Yu, Ru Qing, Yang Yi, Lin Su, and the other women sitting by the window in the courtyard, playing with Xiao Qingpeng and Xiao Wuyi.

The two little ones were also giggling incessantly.

It was November, and the weather was turning cool. But the sunshine in Tingyu Courtyard was warm, the fragrance of flowers filled the air, and it was cozy and comfortable. The presence of a group of beautiful women made the atmosphere even more pleasant.

As the door opened, Ye Feng entered with a strikingly beautiful woman. All the women turned to look, their eyes fixed on Liu Yan, their faces filled with surprise.

Ye Feng, beaming, walked to Hua Yi's side and said, "Sister Yi." He then affectionately patted the faces of the two little ones.

Hua Yi gently said, "Feng Lang." Her pretty eyes darted curiously over Liu Yan, and she smiled at Ye Feng, "Feng Lang, who is this little sister?"

Ye Feng glanced at Liu Yan with a smile, then smiled back at Hua Yi and the curious women, saying, "Oh, Sister Yi, let me introduce you." He

paused slightly, carefully choosing his words, and said affectionately, "This is Liu Yan, my ex-girlfriend. We were separated when I was traveling on the Great Fat Continent. Heaven has mercy, we've been reunited today." These words were something he and Liu Yan had discussed on their journey. The secret of their being from another world was, of course, something he couldn't tell anyone.

After Ye Feng finished speaking, Liu Yan smiled and curtsied to the women, displaying authentic etiquette from the Floating Cloud Continent, completely devoid of any airs of someone from another world. Seeing her gesture, Ye Feng couldn't help but glance at Liu Yan with slight surprise. He hadn't mentioned this on the way.

"Liu Yan?"

"This young lady is also called Liu Yan?"

The women exclaimed in surprise, especially Yang Yi, who said, "Husband, this sister's name sounds similar to Yan'er's…she…"

Yang Yi didn't finish her sentence, but everyone understood what she meant.

Ye Feng smiled without speaking and introduced the women to Liu Yan.

He pointed to Hua Yi and said with a smile, "Yan, this is Sister Yi, you can call her Sister Yi."

Liu Yan had been watching Hua Yi for a while; Hua Yi's beauty, elegance, and gentle demeanor were impossible to ignore. Furthermore, Hua Yi was a woman on the list of most beautiful women in the land, making her even more renowned; Liu Yan had already heard of her.

She bowed deeply and said, "Sister Yi."

Hua Yi stood up with a smile, returned the bow, and said, "Sister Yan, you're too kind."

Her eyes flickered, and she gave Ye Feng a sidelong glance, seemingly wondering why he had never told them about Liu Yan.

Ye Feng's expression remained unchanged, and he introduced Liu Yan to Ru Qing, Lin Su, and the others.

"This is Sister Ru."

"This one you should call Sister Su."

Liu Yan greeted them one by one, her manners impeccable.

Ru Qing, Lin Su, and the others returned the greetings, their eyes filled with admiration as they looked at Liu Yan.

Liu Yan was dressed entirely in the style of a woman from the Great Yue Kingdom. She wore a light blue dress, exuding a quiet yet spirited air, and was undeniably beautiful. Compared to the other women, she was in no way inferior.

When Ye Feng introduced Yang Yi, Yang Yi and Liu Yan locked eyes, their gazes meeting with a strange expression.

Yang Yi looked at Liu Yan again and said to Ye Feng, "Husband, I don't know why, but when I see Sister Liu Yan, I always have some strange feelings, as if we're very close. Also, she's also called Liu Yan, just like Yan'er..."

Liu Yan understood Yang Yi's words, but not quite. She took Yang Yi's hand and said, "I don't know why either. After seeing Sister Yi, I also have a strange feeling, but I can't quite explain it."

Their conversation wasn't easy to discuss, so Ye Feng chuckled and moved on.

Finally, he introduced Yang Yu to Liu Yan.

Yang Yu had been sitting gracefully to the side, her captivating eyes smiling as she looked at everyone. At this moment, she slowly stood up with an extremely elegant movement and smiled at Liu Yan, saying, "Greetings, Sister Liu Yan."

Like Hua Yi, Yang Yu, as a figure on the list of beauties of the Jiangshan, and one of the most outstanding women on the Floating Cloud Continent, had naturally attracted Liu Yan's attention long ago. She glanced at Yang Yu's charming, peach-blossom-like face and said in return, "Greetings, Miss Yang. I've long admired your name." After

a few

polite exchanges, everyone sat down. Although Liu Yan knew the room was full of Ye Feng's women, she remained composed, speaking warmly with them. She was sensible, knowledgeable, and quickly became acquainted with them,

leaving Ye Feng unable to get a word in edgewise.

That evening, Ye Feng hosted a grand banquet to celebrate his reunion with Liu Yan.

Li Yin arrived after receiving the news and, upon seeing Liu Yan's beauty, her eyes lit up. However, strangely, although she was fond of women, she didn't dare to make advances towards Liu Yan as she did with the other women.

Privately, she told Ye Feng, "For some reason, I always feel that Sister Yan has an inexplicable calmness and composure, making people hesitant to take liberties with her."

During the banquet, as everyone drank and chatted merrily, Li Yin spoke of the current war. The news had spread throughout Jade Moon City, causing widespread unease. Li Yin said that the Winterfrost Kingdom's million-strong army was attacking the Great Moon Kingdom in three routes. The route guarded by General Li Fei was naturally unharmed, but the Winterfrost Kingdom was attacking in three routes, and the generals guarding the other two routes were less capable, making the situation far from optimistic.

It wasn't until very late that everyone dispersed. Tonight, of course, Ye Feng and Liu Yan were in the same room.

※※※

After the banquet, Ye Feng and Liu Yan went to a room and sat side-by-side on a red cypress bed, talking intimately. This room was specially prepared for Liu Yan by Hua Yi. The room was elegantly furnished, warm and comfortable, making both Ye Feng and Liu Yan secretly grateful for Hua Yi's thoughtfulness.

When Ye Feng met Liu Yan, he had many things he wanted to say on the way, but it was inconvenient and he didn't have the opportunity to speak in front of the other women. So, naturally, Ye Feng wanted to ask Liu Yan about all his questions.

When the topic of Liu Yan's illness came up, she was silent for a moment before finally saying, "Feng, if we were in the original world, many things about me would be state secrets, and it wouldn't be convenient for me to tell you. But now that we're here, those things no longer exist."

"State secrets?"

Ye Feng's eyes widened.

"Yes~" Liu Yan nodded solemnly. Then she told Ye Feng about her background and other things she had never discussed with him before.

It turned out that Liu Yan was actually a Chinese special agent, a highly trusted spy for the national intelligence department, who had carried out countless classified and dangerous missions over the years.

Of course, her public work was just a cover, but for security reasons, Liu Yan had never revealed her true identity to Ye Feng. (Just like Schwarzenegger in the movie *True Lies*, who appears to be an insurance agent but is actually a secret agent.)

Of course, what Liu Yan said now also explains the origin of her skills that previously amazed Ye Feng.

However, one day, Liu Yan was diagnosed with a terminal illness, an extremely rare disease that hadn't even been detected during the annual national medical checkups for secret agents. The situation became very serious. Because Liu Yan was an exceptionally skilled agent, her superiors ordered that her life be saved. Therefore, one day, Liu Yan was secretly transferred from a civilian hospital to one of the best medical institutions within the national secret service. This institution, staffed with the nation's medical elites, greatly helped Liu Yan's treatment.

Meanwhile, during a mission, Liu Yan unexpectedly faced the danger of her identity being exposed. To ensure Ye Feng's safety, Liu Yan had to leave him in deep sorrow, leaving behind that message for him.

However, on the way back to headquarters, a strange and unexpected gale arose, knocking everyone unconscious. When Liu Yan awoke, she found herself in this strange world.

She was in the Orchid Kingdom, and upon waking, she was unintentionally rescued by Hua Shujin, the daughter of the Orchid Kingdom's Minister of War. Hua Shujin was also a member of the "List of Beauties of the Jiangshan" and, being skilled in medicine, quickly cured Liu Yan's illness. Strange worlds always have differences from the original world. For example, some diseases that are extremely difficult to cure on Earth are easily cured here. Conversely, some diseases that are extremely difficult to cure in this world can be easily cured on Earth.

During this time, Liu Yan recovered quickly and also forged a deep friendship with Hua Shujin. One day, Liu Yan accidentally overheard some news about Ye Feng. Filled with surprise and a desire to try, Liu Yan traveled to the Great Yue Kingdom, where she unexpectedly encountered Ye Feng.

After hearing Liu Yan's story, Ye Feng was utterly astonished, repeatedly expressing disbelief. Thinking of the excruciating pain he felt every night when he dreamt of Liu Yan, he was overjoyed to see her right before him, marveling at how kind fate had been to him.

The two shook hands contentedly and smiled at each other.

After a long while, Ye Feng suddenly remembered something and curiously inquired about Hua Shujin, the daughter of the Vice Minister of War of the Orchid Kingdom, asking how she had cured Liu Yan's illness. Liu Yan smiled and said, "I won't tell you."

Ye Feng asked curiously, "Why?"

Liu Yan smiled and said, "She's my good friend. I'm afraid you have ulterior motives towards her."

Ye Feng smiled bitterly, "Am I that kind of person?"

Liu Yan rolled her eyes at him, "The facts speak for themselves. You have so many wives and concubines now, and you're still like that." Ye Feng

sighed and said, "Yan, now you know, Sister Yi and the others… I…" He hesitated, unsure how to begin.

Liu Yan understood Ye Feng's meaning and sighed, "Since arriving in this other world, I've thought a lot. There's a saying, 'When in Rome, do as the Romans do.' When you arrive in a place, you should respect its customs. This place is like this. Do you expect me to abandon your Yi-jie and Yi-mei sisters? Is that even possible?"

Ye Feng happily said, "Yan, you're so sensible."

Liu Yan rolled her eyes at Ye Feng and said, "Look at how happy you are~"

Just as Ye Feng was about to speak, she smiled sweetly again and asked about Ye Feng's situation after she left, and why he had also come to this other world.

Ye

Feng then began to tell Liu Yan about his experiences. Upon hearing that Ye Feng had come to this other world because of his suicide attempt for her, Liu Yan gasped, covering Ye Feng's mouth, her eyes welling up with tears. After a long pause, she choked out, "Feng, how could you be so foolish... What if you..." As she spoke, tears streamed down her face.

Ye Feng smiled bitterly, "After you left, I felt like the whole world had lost its life. Without you, life had lost its meaning for me... So..."

"Don't say anymore!"

Liu Yan gently pressed her small hand to Ye Feng's lips, gazing at him with her beautiful eyes for a long time, and said, "Feng, I want you to love me well..."

Ye Feng naturally obeyed his beloved's command. He gently lifted Liu Yan's chin, and when he saw her eyes filled with allure, he gently kissed her, sealing her luscious lips. Liu Yan's moist, smooth tongue moved nimbly in Ye Feng's mouth, their tongues intertwining.

Soon, under Ye Feng's passionate kiss, Liu Yan's beautiful eyes became increasingly watery.

After a long while, the two separated. Ye Feng smiled and said, "Yan, come on, let me take off your clothes."

Liu Yan's pretty face immediately flushed red, and she lost her previous composure. Yet, she cooperated with Ye Feng as he removed her clothes layer by layer.

Ye Feng removed Liu Yan's outer garment and untied her bodice, instantly revealing a pair of full, smooth breasts, each topped with two red nipples, incredibly alluring.

"It's been a long time..."

Ye Feng's gaze lingered on the pair of breasts for a long time, then he reached out and kneaded and caressed them. The long-lost, smooth, creamy feeling quickly welled up inside him.

"So comfortable~ Yan, you're still so good..." Ye Feng said, kneading Liu Yan's breasts vigorously with obvious affection, making Liu Yan blush with shame. However, soon, under Ye Feng's actions, her face was filled with a lustful expression.

Ye Feng, also unable to contain his excitement, quickly removed Liu Yan's underpants, instantly revealing her jade-like body. Full, high breasts, a rounded waist, firm, full buttocks, and below were two long, slender legs, between which lay thick hair.

Liu Yan shyly covered her private area with her hands, but through the gaps between her fingers, the fine black hair was still faintly visible.

"Yan, don't cover it up, let me see properly~" Ye Feng said.

Liu Yan hesitated for a moment, then removed her hand, allowing Ye Feng to feast his eyes on her beauty. Ye Feng gazed greedily at the stunning woman before him. Liu Yan blushed under his gaze, her eyes filled with a mixture of reproach and playful anger.

She whispered, "Feng, don't look, it's so embarrassing..."

Ye Feng chuckled, "What's there to be afraid of? We're an old married couple."

Liu Yan, helpless against Ye Feng's gaze, pouted, "You're so annoying~" "

Your annoying little brother is here~"

After a thorough arousal, Ye Feng quickly spread Liu Yan's long, slender, white legs, his thick member entering her warm body. Instantly, a wave of ecstatic pleasure washed over them both, causing them to groan.

Liu Yan's body went limp.

Ye Feng felt as if Liu Yan's vagina was a powerful, fleshy clamp tightly around his member, making him feel incredibly good. He quickly began to move.

Liu Yan breathed heavily, thoroughly enjoying the pleasure Ye Feng was giving her. It had been over a year since they'd made love, and she desperately needed it.

With Ye Feng's skillful movements, her beautiful, serene face quickly flushed crimson, her charming eyes brimming with alluring allure. With each thrust, her face grew increasingly red, making her appear alluring and captivating, completely devoid of her usual composure. Her small mouth emitted seductive moans: "Mmm...mmm...ah...ah..."

Liu Yan's moans were tender and lingering, stimulating Ye Feng's senses; he loved that sound. His thick, hard member moved rapidly in and out of Liu Yan's tempting body, drawing out waves of vaginal fluid. Tidal waves of pleasure washed over their bodies.

Liu Yan's fair body trembled with each thrust, her face filled with a blissful intoxication. Her long, beautiful legs were tightly wrapped around Ye Feng's buttocks, and her moans grew increasingly intoxicating. Ye Feng grew increasingly excited, his hard penis penetrating Liu Yan's body deeper and deeper with each thrust.

Their movements became more intense, their panting and moaning echoing throughout the room. Liu Yan's beautiful face was now contorted with ecstasy. As

they continued their passionate union, Liu Yan's expression grew increasingly joyful, her moans louder, and her body trembled violently with intense pleasure. Suddenly, she screamed, clinging tightly to Ye Feng, her lower abdomen thrusting upwards. Then, a shudder ran through her body, and a gush of hot fluid erupted from deep within her, drenching Ye Feng's penis. Stimulated by Liu Yan, Ye Feng could no longer restrain himself. His body trembled, and he ejaculated completely into Liu Yan's body. Each thrust of his semen caused Liu Yan's body to tremble involuntarily...

After a long while, the two finally recovered from the afterglow of their climax. After their lovemaking, Liu Yan's beautiful face had an even more captivating glow, making her appear even more alluring and charming...

That night, the two indulged in passionate lovemaking and intimate conversation. Everything had been rewarded in this moment!

〓〓〓〓※〓〓〓〓※〓〓〓〓※〓〓〓〓

The next morning, Ye Feng woke up to find Liu Yan lying on his chest, her bright eyes looking at him.

Ye Feng smiled and said, "What, not want to sleep a little longer?" He stroked Liu Yan's hair and said, "Looking at me like that, do I look even more handsome?"

Liu Yan chuckled and said, "Look at you, after all this time, you haven't changed at all~" Her eyes sparkled, quite alluring. After last night's encounter, she exuded a languid charm, captivatingly seductive.

Ye Feng's heart warmed. Just as he was about to make a move, Liu Yan climbed off him, took his hand, and said, "Alright, you lazybones, get up."

The two got up and dressed. Liu Yan carefully helped Ye Feng tidy his clothes, her actions befitting a virtuous wife. Then she sat in front of the mirror and combed her long, smooth hair.

Ye Feng stood behind her, quietly watching her movements, watching her smile at him in the mirror from time to time, seeing the satisfied and happy expression on her face. He felt a warm and content feeling in his heart; the taste of something lost and then regained was truly wonderful.

Thinking back on everything he had done for Liu Yan, and his longing for her after arriving in this other world, and how she had also arrived here when he was in despair—it was truly a strange arrangement of fate. He believed Liu Yan felt the same way.

The only regret was that she only had him as her man, but he couldn't have the same life as before, when she was his only love. He now had Hua Yi, Ru Qing, and other women… Thinking of this, Ye Feng felt a pang of guilt.

At this moment, Liu Yan finished combing her hair. Seeing Ye Feng seemingly lost in thought, she stood up and gently hugged his neck, softly asking, "Feng, what's wrong?"

Ye Feng sighed, "Yan, thinking about it, I really feel a sense of guilt towards you... I..."

Liu Yan looked at Ye Feng for a moment and said, "Alright, Feng, I understand what you mean. I'm a very open-minded person. You came to this place for me, and no matter what, your actions have proven everything. I've been here for over a year, and I understand what kind of society this is. From now on, just treat me the same way you treat your Yi-jie."

Ye Feng said, "Okay, I won't mention this again. In short, you are the most important person in my heart."

Liu Yan smiled broadly and murmured, "Even more important than your Yi-jie."

Ye Feng was stunned, but suddenly didn't know how to answer that question. This wasn't a question that could be answered in a short time. Was Hua Yi the most important person in his heart, or Liu Yan?

Liu Yan smiled and said, "Alright, alright, I won't say anymore." She gazed intently at Ye Feng for a moment, then sighed, "Feng, you've really matured a lot."

Ye Feng smiled wryly, "Having experienced so much, even if I'm not mature, I have to become mature."

Liu Yan chuckled again, and after a while, she remembered something: "By the way, when I came to the Great Yue Kingdom, I heard that the Winter Cold Kingdom had already launched a military campaign against the Great Yue Kingdom. Is that true?"

Ye Feng nodded.

Liu Yan sighed, "I have a premonition that chaos is coming. Given the current situation, what are your plans, Feng?"

Ye Feng pondered, "I do have some ideas about the future, but they're not fully formed. What do you think, Yan?"

Liu Yan smiled slightly and said, "War is dangerous and perilous, but if Feng wants to build a career, this war could be a good opportunity for him."

Ye Feng's heart stirred, and he said, "I'm not very good at strategy, but now that I have Yan, she can lend me a hand." As a former Chinese special agent, Liu Yan was naturally proficient in various tactics and strategies. And her thousands of years of experience in warfare in the original world were naturally far superior to those in this world. With Liu Yan by his side, Ye Feng was like a tiger with wings.

Liu Yan said, "Yesterday I heard about your experiences in this world. You have your own group of people, but if you want to make a name for yourself in this chaotic world, your strength is far from enough. Your most important task now is to quietly develop your strength, absorb talent from all sides, and then wait for the right opportunity."

Ye Feng pondered for a while and said, "That's right!"

※※※

After talking for a while, the two went out for breakfast.

Hua Yi, Yang Yi, Lin Su, and the other women were all in the hall. Seeing the alluring, languid charm on Liu Yan's face, they all understood what had happened, and their faces couldn't help but smile, making Liu Yan a little embarrassed.

Everyone sat together and had a pleasant breakfast.

Afterwards, Liu Yan chatted with the women in the Tingyu Courtyard; this was her most important task at the moment—building good relationships with the women. Ye Feng, on the other hand, went out; he had many things to do.

He summoned Zhang Ning and other high-ranking members of the Demonic Sect to the Jade Moon branch altar. Given the current situation, he issued orders: the Divine Sect's mahjong parlors would temporarily halt their northward expansion, focusing instead on consolidating their current foothold in the south, including Jade Moon Prefecture, until the situation became clearer. Of course, the tobacco seed base remained unchanged and would proceed as planned.

Ye Feng then silently considered his plans. He was scheduled to visit the Queen in Golden Moon City in December. Although war had broken out, the itinerary remained the same. To reach Golden Moon City, he needed to depart from Jade Moon City in mid-November, meaning he should leave in the next few days.

According to the original plan, upon arriving in Golden Moon City, he would take action against Zhao Xiu and subdue her. Naturally, he would also need to use the same methods to subdue the Demonic Sect's Holy Maiden, Han Meixue. Liu Yan was right; he should now focus on developing his strength and recruiting talent.

At the Jade Moon branch altar, he also carefully inquired with Zhang Ning about the situation at Wanglong Village. After Wanglong Village was wiped out by Li Yin, Wang Da Hu Zi and his men disappeared without a trace, and even Zhang Ning and the others didn't know their whereabouts.

Ye Feng thought that Wang Da Hu Zi and his men were quite talented, but they now hated Li Yin to the core. Although Wanglong Village had cooperated with the Demonic Sect before, now both the Demonic Sect and Li Yin were Ye Feng's men. Whether Wang Da Hu Zi could submit to his enemy was a big question.

In the afternoon, Ye Feng went to Li Yin's residence to inquire about Wanglong Village.

Just as he sat down, a servant came to report that three people were outside requesting to see Ye Feng.

※※※

"Who is it?" Ye Feng pondered for a moment, exchanged a glance with Li Yin, and said to the servant, "Please let them in."

Soon after, three burly men walked in. Ye Feng recognized all three; they were the three brothers, Jin Chuan, Liu Jun, and Chi Zijian, the bandits from Jinhu Village on Shangyue Mountain, whom he had encountered on the road to Xinfu City when he went to Jinyue City. Ye Feng was delighted and stood up, saying, "So it's the three of you. Please have a seat."

Jin Chuan laughed heartily, "Brother Ye, you've been quite the big shot lately! Your name is everywhere." He glanced at Li Yin with slight restraint; to them, this ruthless commander of the Jade Moon Prefecture was their nemesis.

Li Yin, however, showed no reaction, clearly wanting to appear completely subservient to Ye Feng in public after marrying him.

The three men were relieved. Ye Feng

ordered a banquet and drank heartily with them.

From the banquet, he learned the purpose of their visit. It turned out that Ye Feng's reputation was growing, while their Golden Tiger Stronghold was struggling. Remembering their past friendship with Ye Feng, they had decided to seek his help and had come to ascertain his intentions.

Ye Feng was naturally overjoyed and welcomed them. He immediately ordered his men to summon Zhang Ning, the leader of the Jade Moon branch of the Divine Sect, so that he could arrange for the three men and their subordinates to join him. Jin Chuan and the other two left with Zhang Ning, satisfied.

After they left, Ye Feng and Li Yin went to the inner room. Ye Feng asked Li Yin about some issues concerning Wang Longzhai, specifically about the whereabouts of Wang Da Hu Zi and his men. Li Yin shook her head repeatedly, saying that after the day they wiped out Wang Longzhai, she had no idea where Wang Da Hu Zi and his men had gone.

"Oh~" Ye Feng murmured. He pulled Li Yin into his arms, placing his hands on her full breasts, kneading them as he pondered. Li Yin also became aroused and reached out to hug Ye Feng's neck. Ye Feng pulled open Li Yin

's

clothes, revealing her extremely full and plump, snow-white breasts. He fondled them lovingly, feeling their heavy, smooth texture, and said, "Ah Yin, your breasts still feel so good."

Li Yin hummed in response, her whole body trembling slightly from Ye Feng's touch, letting out alluring moans. She arched her chest to enhance her pleasure with Ye Feng's caresses, while simultaneously reaching down to Ye Feng's crotch and pulling out his large penis, stroking it in her hand.

The two were caressing each other when Li Yin suddenly said, "Oh, right, Feng Lang, I have someone here who might be able to provide some clues about Wang Da Hu Zi and the others."

Ye Feng asked, "Who?"

Li Yin replied, "Yun Niang."

Ye Feng was taken aback, then exclaimed with delight, "That's right, how could I forget about her?" He asked Li Yin, "Is she in your residence?"

Li Yin nodded and called out, "Xiao Sha'er, Xiao Sha'er!"

Immediately, the beautiful maid Xiao Sha'er entered. Seeing Ye Feng and Li Yin's situation, she blushed and asked Li Yin, "My lord, what is it?"

Li Yin told Xiao Sha'er, "Go and call Yun Niang here."

Xiao Sha'er curtsied and said, "Yes, my lord," and went out.

Soon, an extremely beautiful and alluring young woman entered. She was voluptuous and tall, with her high breasts seemingly about to burst out of her clothes, and her eyes were incredibly seductive. Ye Feng recognized her as Yun Niang, whom he had seen before at Wang Long Village.

Seeing Li Yin and Ye Feng's state, Yunniang blushed slightly. She bowed to them, her gaze towards Li Yin filled with longing and fear, while her eyes, brimming with teasing, were watery as she looked at Ye Feng.

Li Yin beckoned to Yunniang, who immediately came obediently to their side. Li Yin

said to Yunniang, "My husband wants to ask you some questions; you must answer him honestly."

Yunniang respectfully replied, "Yes." Ye

Feng asked Yunniang, "After Wang Longzhai was breached by A Yin, Wang Da Hu Zi and the others disappeared without a trace. Do you know where they went?"

Yunniang shook her head, "I don't know either. Since seeking refuge with you, sir, I haven't had any contact with them."

Li Yin said, "Really?"

Yunniang said fearfully, "I dare not deceive you, sir."

Ye Feng remained silent.

Li Yin glanced at Ye Feng and laughed, "If we can't find them, so be it. There are plenty of talented people in the world anyway. Besides, they have a deep-seated hatred for us, and it's hard to say whether they'll truly surrender. Even if we recruit them, it'll always be a worry."

She glanced at Yun Niang and chuckled at Ye Feng, "Feng Lang, do you want to play with this woman?"

Ye Feng looked at Yun Niang's alluring face and her full, high breasts, and his erection involuntarily hardened. He smiled and said, "Sure."

Li Yin said to Yun Niang, "You know what to do?"

Yun Niang lowered her head and said, "Yes!" She gave Ye Feng a seductive look, her eyes filled with undisguised joy. When she first saw Ye Feng at Wanglong Village, she had already been captivated by him. To be able to be with this handsome young man today was a delightful surprise.

Li Yin chuckled, left Ye Feng's embrace, and sat aside to watch the show.

Yunniang knelt before Ye Feng, grasped his large penis, stroked it a few times, and then put it in her mouth, sucking on it. Ye Feng felt a warm and comfortable sensation surge through him, and couldn't help but groan softly. He thought, "This woman really knows her stuff." He had never done this with his wives and concubines before, because he felt it was disrespectful to them, and couldn't bear to. Now, experiencing it for the first time, he felt a sense of novelty.

After a while, Ye Feng told Yunniang to stop. He lifted her onto his lap, kneaded her full breasts with both hands, and gently pinched her two protruding nipples. Yunniang's eyes closed slightly as Ye Feng touched her breasts, and she let out a satisfied moan.

When Ye Feng touched her genitals, he found that she was already soaking wet.

"What a slut."

Ye Feng was filled with excitement. He quickly ripped off Yun Niang's clothes, revealing the body of a mature woman before him. Her full, heavy breasts and large nipples, her voluptuous waist, and the thick patch of pubic hair all proclaimed to Ye Feng that she was a ripe, juicy fruit.

Ye Feng said, "Get on."

Yun Niang excitedly replied, "Yes." She wriggled her body and sat on Ye Feng, aligning her lower body with his large member. She slowly sat down, completely engulfing his large member, then twisted her waist, firmly holding it.

"Ah! Ah!" Yun Niang's hips rose and fell incessantly, her lower body gripping Ye Feng's member wildly, moaning and groaning incessantly.

"Damn, you slut, you're pretty fierce."

Ye Feng was also extremely comfortable, and he thrust upwards quickly, immediately feeling waves of intense sensation from his lower body, making Yun Niang moan and groan incessantly, writhing and entwining around Ye Feng. For a time, the room was filled with lewd sounds and whispers.

Li Yin, her heart burning with desire, also came over…

These past few days, Ye Feng had spent most of his time with Liu Yan, and their long-standing longing had finally been rewarded here.

It was now nearly mid-November, and in the next few days, Ye Feng would be traveling with Yang Yu and others to Golden Moon City to celebrate the Queen's birthday. He also had two missions in Golden Moon City: to subdue Zhao Xiu and the Demonic Sect's Holy Maiden, Han Meixue.

The departure date for Golden Moon City had been set, but Ye Feng hesitated for a moment before deciding who should accompany him. Originally, due to the long journey, Ye Feng had considered leaving Hua Yi and the others in Jade Moon City, but this time they refused to be separated from him. In the end, Ye Feng decided to take them all with him, confident that his own skills and numerous top-tier subordinates would guarantee their safety.

Finally, on November 16th, Ye Feng, along with Hua Yi, Liu Yan, Yang Yu, Li Yin, Lin Su, Ru Qing, Yang Yi, Sun Yanggu, Zhang Ning, a group of elders from the Demonic Sect, and several hundred subordinates, set off for Golden Moon City in a grand procession. The journey

from Jade Moon City to Golden Moon City required passing through New Prefecture City, a distance of about six or seven days. From New Prefecture City to Golden Moon City, it was another ten days' journey.

Unlike previous trips, Ye Feng's expedition was quite large. Besides Hua Yi, Liu Yan, Yang Yu, Li Yin, Lin Su, Ru Qing, and Yang Yi, the entourage also included a group of skilled warriors such as Sun Yanggu, Li Huan, and Zhang Ning, as well as several elders of the Demonic Sect, along with hundreds of members of the Demonic Sect and a roughly thousand-strong escort army from Jade Moon City—a truly impressive procession.

Ye Feng, Li Huan, and the other men rode horses, while Hua Yi and the women traveled in seven spacious and comfortable carriages, sparing them the hardship of travel. However, Li Yin and Liu Yan frequently dismounted and rode alongside Ye Feng, pointing and commenting along the way.

Li Huan, a peerless master, remained constantly by the side of Hua Yi, the former princess of the Orchid Kingdom, keeping his promise.

The new city was located in the eastern part of Jade Moon Prefecture; traveling east from Jade Moon Prefecture to the new city involved passing through several mountains and counties.

As the group entered the mountains, the scenery along the road became increasingly beautiful. It was late autumn, and the endless poplar forests lined the roadside. Hua Yi and Yang Yi, who rarely ventured out, were full of praise for the breathtaking views.

Ye Feng rode up to Hua Yi's carriage and asked with a smile, "Sister Yi, how are you feeling?"

Hua Yi was holding Xiao Qingpeng and Xiao Wuyi in her arms, the two little ones sleeping sweetly in their mother's embrace. The carriage was smooth and comfortable, so it didn't disturb the two children at all. Hearing this, she smiled gently and said, "It's really nice, the scenery outside is so beautiful."

Yang Yi, sitting beside her, also excitedly said, "Husband, the scenery outside is so beautiful, you must take me out to play often in the future."

Although each of the women had their own carriage, it would be boring to sit alone in one. So they all chatted with their companions, and Yang Yi stayed in Hua Yi's carriage. Liu Yan went to talk to Yang Yu, while Lin Su chatted with Ru Qing.

Seeing the excited expression on Yang Yi's face, Ye Feng realized that although she was married to him, she still retained a youthful vivacity. Her radiant complexion indicated she had recovered from the grief of losing her daughter, and Ye Feng felt a surge of affection. He smiled and said, "Of course! If you like it, I'll take you out to play often."

This made Yang Yi even happier.

That night, Ye Feng and his group spent the night at the Jin Chuan brothers' Jin Hu Village on Shangyue Mountain, who had now joined Ye Feng's forces. Ye Feng and Sun Mei had previously spent a night there. The Jin Chuan brothers and their fellow villagers warmly welcomed Ye Feng and his party. The various sights of the village also fascinated the women.

A few days later, Ye Feng and his group arrived at an important stop on their journey: Xin Fu City. After leaving Xin Fu City, the road to Jin Yue City was mostly plains and lakes, with few mountains.

Xin Fu City was Sun Mei's hometown. Ye Feng and Sun Mei had visited once last year, an experience that had left a lasting impression on him. It had been some time since Ye Feng and Sun Mei had parted ways. Was she... alright?

The new prefect of the new city warmly welcomed Ye Feng and his entourage outside the city. Ye Feng was the martial arts champion of the Great Yue Kingdom, and Li Yin was his superior. Hua Yi and Yang Yu were figures on the list of most beautiful women in the land; each of them was a heavyweight in his eyes, so how could he not treat them with utmost hospitality?

Ye Feng allowed him to entertain and arrange for his subordinates, while he led the women, Li Huan, Zhang Ning, and others into the city towards Sun Mei's residence.

Along the way, Ye Feng was fine, but Hua Yi and the others were visiting the new city for the first time, and they were full of praise for the unique architecture and various small bridges. They chatted and laughed along the way, feeling quite comfortable.

Sun Mei's residence was in the south of the new city. Soon, the group arrived at an elegant courtyard in the south of the city, a place Ye Feng had visited with Sun Mei before. Ye Feng dismounted and smiled at the group, saying, "We've arrived at Sister Mei's house."

He stepped forward and knocked on the door. Soon, a servant opened the door, poked his head out, and asked Ye Feng with a puzzled look, "May I ask who this gentleman is looking for?"

Ye Feng smiled and said, "I'm looking for Sun Mei." He told the servant, "Just tell him that Ye Feng and Hua Yi have come from Jade Moon City." The servant left.

Soon, a hearty laugh was heard, and then Zhao Bai and Sun Mei appeared before Ye Feng and the others. Zhao Bai exclaimed happily, "So it's Second Brother! Please come in, please come in!" He

then greeted Hua Yi and the others. Sun Mei gazed at Ye Feng for a moment, her face beaming with a smile, and said, "Brother Feng, you've come?"

Ye Feng nodded, a complex and inexplicable feeling welling up inside him. He saw that Sun Mei was still radiant, though her belly was slightly protruding, and her face radiated a serene maternal glow, adding to her beauty.

His gaze shifted to her belly, and he exclaimed with delight, "Sister Mei, you..."

Sun Mei understood Ye Feng's meaning, chuckled, and said, "It's not that fast, it's still early." She glanced at Ye Feng, then stepped forward to greet Hua Yi and the others. Sun Mei naturally knew Yang Yu, and upon seeing Liu Yan,

she asked with some confusion, "And who is this younger sister?" Ye Feng explained, and Sun Mei rolled her eyes at him. Ye Feng didn't understand what Sun Mei meant either.

Zhao Bai smiled and said, "Second brother, sisters-in-law, Yang Dajia, let's go inside and talk."

The group entered the courtyard.

In the living room, servants served tea, and they discussed matters that had arisen since their separation.

Ye Feng mentioned that he was going to Jin Yue City to celebrate the Queen's birthday, and would take the opportunity to assess the current situation. With the Great Yue Kingdom and the Winter Cold Kingdom at war, everyone was naturally concerned.

Zhao Bai nodded, also filled with worry about the current situation; as a merchant, he naturally feared war most of all.

He then talked about his life in the new city, saying that he was living a rather leisurely life now. He had mostly handed over his business to his stewards, and spent his days at home researching recipes or spending time with Sun Mei, who was now six months pregnant and naturally needed someone to accompany and care for her. He also mentioned that Zhao's Furniture was doing very well in the new city, having regained its former glory.

Ye Feng laughed and said, "Brother, you really know how to enjoy life."

Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

Then Hua Yi, Li Yin, and the others chatted with Zhao Bai about other things. Everyone in the living room chatted and laughed, creating a very harmonious atmosphere.

Sun Mei sat beside Zhao Bai, not saying much, just smiling at everyone, sometimes playing with Hua Yi to comfort the little Qingpeng and little Wuyi in her arms, sometimes occasionally stroking her belly with a contented expression. The child in her womb was now her most precious treasure. The sunlight streaming in from the window shone on her bright face, adding to her captivating charm.

Ye Feng sighed inwardly. After having that child, Sun Mei would naturally devote herself to Zhao Bai, and their ambiguous relationship would come to an end. If anything were to happen between them again, it would be extremely unfair to Zhao Bai. Given Sun Mei's personality, a relationship between her and Ye Feng was also impossible. However, seeing that Sun Mei was doing so well, Ye Feng was relieved.

After staying in Xinfu City for two days, Ye Feng and his group set off north again. Before leaving, Zhao Bai and Sun Mei saw them off for a long distance. Ye Feng, mindful of Sun Mei's pregnancy, kept urging them to return. Even after walking quite a distance, they could still see Zhao Bai and Sun Mei waving to them.

The group continued towards Jin Yue City. From Xinfu City to Jin Yue City, the terrain was mostly flat, dotted with rivers and lakes. Further on was the mighty Yu Yue River, originating from Yu Yue Mountain and flowing towards Jin Yue City. Reaching the riverbank, Ye Feng thought of General Li Fei, whom he had met here before. He was now fighting on the front lines, protecting the country.

From this point on, Ye Feng and his group frequently witnessed tense atmospheres, such as the constant troop movements and refugees fleeing from the north to the south. These signs indicated the intensity of the war and the resulting unrest.

After traveling for several more days, on December 5th, Ye Feng and his party arrived in Golden Moon City. This was the capital of the Great Moon Kingdom, the largest and most prosperous city on the Floating Cloud Continent, and the country's political, economic, and cultural center.

※※※

As soon as the group reached the outskirts of Golden Moon City, they saw a large number of officials and citizens waiting to greet them. Most of them were there to welcome Yang Yu, a figure on the list of beauties and the Great Moon Kingdom's number one courtesan; Yang Yu was the center of attention wherever she went.

Of course, some officials were also there to welcome Ye Feng and Li Yin.

Fortunately, Hua Yi was veiled; otherwise, the appearance of two women on the list of beauties would have caused an even greater sensation.

Yang Yu stepped out of the carriage, wearing a sable fur coat, her beauty indescribable. Her appearance immediately caused a stir and cheers from the crowd. "Yang Yu, Yang Yu..." The calls echoed endlessly.

As usual, the officials arranged for Yang Yu to stay at the "Listening to the Rain Pavilion," a place previously designated for her rest by the Great Moon King. The "Listening to the Rain Pavilion" was the royal family's private garden, its walls adorned with shimmering flowers and beautiful scenery. Yang Yu quite liked it.

Ye Feng, Li Yin, and his wives and concubines were accommodated at the Golden Moon City Inn. This was traditionally a place for visiting officials and their families.

Ye Feng and Yang Yu couldn't object to this arrangement. Yang Yu also couldn't suggest that Ye Feng and the others move to the "Listening to the Rain Pavilion" with her. Golden Moon City was different from Jade Moon City; it was rife with various factions. If people knew about Yang Yu and Ye Feng's close relationship, it might be detrimental to Ye Feng, perhaps even causing jealousy and attempts to harm him. Conversely, if people learned that Yang Yu had someone she loved, she would lose her current privileged position.

Yang Yu smiled slightly at Ye Feng, her beautiful eyes sparkling. Ye Feng was instantly captivated; Yang Yu was a woman of exceptional beauty and intelligence, with an alluring charm. Although he had known Yang Yu for some time, he was always unconsciously mesmerized by her allure whenever they were together, while the welcoming crowd and officials around them all wore expressions of utter infatuation.

Yang Yu said softly, "Young Master Ye, we must part ways here for now, but you are welcome to visit me often at 'Listening to the Rain Pavilion.'"

Ye Feng smiled and replied, "Of course." Their eyes met, and they understood each other perfectly.

Yang Yu then bid farewell to Hua Yi, Liu Yan, Li Yin, and the other women. They had gotten along quite well during this time, and all felt reluctant to part. However, considering that they all lived in Golden Moon City and could easily visit each other, they felt a sense of relief.

As onlookers saw Yang Yu and Hua Yi bid farewell, they secretly speculated about the identities of Hua Yi and the other women. At this moment, Hua Yi, Liu Yan, Ru Qing, and the others all wore veils, obscuring their faces. However, they recognized Ye Feng, knowing him to be the "Great Moon Blade Saint" and martial arts champion who had recently become a sensation in Golden Moon City. Seeing Hua Yi and the others standing behind Ye Feng, they knew they must be his wives and concubines.

Some quick-thinking individuals wondered why Yang Yu and Ye Feng were walking together—could it be…? Others naturally assumed they had met by chance on the road.

Ye Feng and the others parted ways with Yang Yu, each entering Golden Moon City under the guidance of officials and the public.

Hua Yi and Liu Yan, having never been to Golden Moon City before, were captivated by the bustling metropolis. Hua Yi exclaimed, "Truly worthy of being the capital of the Great Moon Kingdom, it is indeed incredibly prosperous!"

Ye Feng had visited Golden Moon City before and introduced some of its scenic spots and historical sites to the women, who listened with great interest.

Soon, the group settled into the Golden Moon City Inn.

The Queen's birthday was December 10th, a few days away. During these days, Ye Feng could take care of some things.

First, he needed to inspect his Golden Moon Altar branch of the Demonic Sect, and then visit Lady Anguo and some officials he had previously contacted. Of course, understanding the current war situation was also crucial. Subduing Zhao Xiu, the young master of the "Jade Tiger Cloth Shop," and Han Meixue, the Holy Maiden of the Demonic Sect, was also part of his mission. A secret meeting with the Queen was also necessary.

Of course, first and foremost, he could take Hua Yi, Liu Yan, and the other women to explore Golden Moon City, letting them experience the different charms of Golden Moon City compared to Jade Moon City.

Chapter Two: Meeting Lady Anguo Again

After lunch, Ye Feng led Hua Yi and the others on a tour of Golden Moon City, accompanied by some elite Tiger Guards led by Liu Mingzhi. Sun Yanggu and Li Huan, two peerless masters, were naturally inseparable from him.

As the capital of the Great Moon Kingdom and the largest city on the Floating Cloud Continent, the prosperity of Golden Moon City is breathtaking. The city's eight districts are filled with buildings of all kinds, teeming with people everywhere, and constantly teeming with new and exciting trends. Even its entertainment industry is the most diverse and thriving on the continent, no wonder it is the envy of people all over the continent.

The bustling scene captivated the women. Although the weather was cold, it couldn't dampen their spirits, especially Yang Yi, who was overjoyed and clung to Ye Feng, constantly asking questions.

When they reached the clothing street in the South District, Ye Feng spent a considerable amount of money. It boasted the most fashionable and trendy clothes from across the continent, and under the excited gazes of the women, his silver flowed out like water. However, Ru Qing's attention was more focused on the design and style of the clothes, or which types would sell better. Li Yin, like Ye Feng, mostly gazed at the numerous beauties lining the street.

Yet, walking along the street, a sense of disharmony and tension permeated the crowd, clearly due to the unsettling atmosphere caused by the ongoing war. These past few days, unfavorable news from the front lines had been arriving, causing daily alarm.

When they reached the West District, everyone was somewhat tired. They saw an elegant teahouse nearby, with many carriages parked in its plaza, indicating a thriving business. The group entered the teahouse. Seeing Ye Feng and his entourage's impressive presence, the teahouse owner dared not neglect them and personally came to greet them.

Although there were private rooms available, Ye Feng requested a public window seat. Once seated, the Tiger Guards stood guard nearby. The view was expansive; outside the window lay a lake, its waters a vibrant blue, invigorating the senses.

Ye Feng dismissed the waiters and placed tea leaves in the teapot. Soon, a pure aroma wafted from the gentle heat. He then poured in boiling water, and in a short while, the tea was ready.

He poured tea for the women, who found it bittersweet, refreshing and mellow, unforgettable.

They chatted and sipped the tea, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

Li Yin took a sip and smiled, "If I'm not mistaken, this is Meiheng Tea from Yue Nan Prefecture. In recent years, this tea has become incredibly popular in Yue Nan." Setting down her teacup, she smiled at Ye Feng, "Feng, Jin Yue is famous throughout the land, especially Jin Yue River Street in the North District, which has a long-standing reputation. I visited it a few years ago and have never forgotten it. We have nothing to do tonight, so how about we go for a stroll?"

Upon hearing this, the women blushed. Hua Yi glared at Li Yin, blaming her for always leading Ye Feng astray. Looking down, she saw her two little darlings, Xiao Qingpeng and Xiao Wuyi, sleeping sweetly in her arms. Yang Yi, Lin Su, and Ru Qing quickly avoided her gaze.

Li Yin's eyes flickered, and she smiled at Liu Yan, "Sister Yan, come with us tonight."

Liu Yan glanced at her calmly and said indifferently, "I'm not going. I want to chat with Sister Yi tonight." She glanced at Ye Feng with her pretty eyes.

Ye Feng chuckled, "With so many beautiful wives and concubines by my side, why would I bother with those vulgar beauties?"

Li Yin chuckled, "Ah Feng's words are so sweet."

Just then, footsteps sounded, and the waiter beside him said, "Welcome, this way, young lady." A clear voice replied, "Waiter, bring me a pot of General Green Tea."

The voice was familiar. Ye Feng turned his head and saw a beautiful young woman in a magnificent sable cloak, charming and lovely, but with a touch of sadness on her face. It was Zhao Xiu. Zhou Yun, who used to always be by her side, was nowhere to be seen; she was all alone.

Ye Feng hadn't expected to see her here. He remembered the intelligence report that because the Jade Tiger Cloth Shop's business was declining, Zhou Yun had become increasingly cold towards Zhao Xiu, and that Zhao Xiu often cried. It seemed true. Seeing Zhao Xiu's current state, Ye Feng couldn't help but feel pity for her.

Zhao Xiu also saw Ye Feng, and paused, clearly not expecting him to be there. A flash of hatred crossed her eyes; her current predicament was largely due to Ye Feng. At that moment, Ru Qing also saw Zhao Xiu. She used to frequently purchase goods from Yu Hu Cloth Shop and naturally recognized Zhao Xiu. She stood up and smiled, "Miss Zhao..."

Zhao Xiu turned and saw her business rival, Ru Qing. Slightly surprised, she glanced at Ru Qing, then at Ye Feng, gritted her teeth, and with a swift movement, abandoned her former image as a shrewd businesswoman, strode downstairs.

Ye Feng and Ru Qing exchanged bewildered glances. The tea server, who had approached, also stood frozen, holding a pot of General Green tea.

Li Yin frowned and said, "This woman is Zhao Xiu, right? Why is she acting like this?"

Yang Yi chimed in, "Yes, how can a young girl act like this?"

Hua Yi, who knew the inside story, said, "Never mind, she's just a young girl, it's not easy for her. Sister Ru, don't take it to heart."

Ye Feng smiled slightly, thinking that Zhao Xiu had quite a personality; he hadn't really noticed it before. Considering Zhao Xiu's business acumen, he wouldn't give up on her.

※※※

In the evening, the group returned to the Jin Yue City inn. Just as they finished their hot tea, Ye Feng was brought many invitations that had just arrived that day. Ye Feng was now the first martial arts champion of the Great Yue Kingdom and the brother-in-law of Li Huiwei, the military governor of Yu Yue, making him the object of many forces' interest and attention. Although he had only just arrived in Jin Yue City, everyone's eyes were already on him.

Ye Feng and the women looked at the invitations together. One was from the eldest prince, which was within Ye Feng's expectations. Even if the eldest prince hadn't sent an invitation, Ye Feng would have gone to pay him a visit anyway. Some of the invitations were from wealthy and powerful families in Jin Yue City. Ye Feng understood; besides wanting to establish connections with the local power structures in Yu Yue, he guessed that his thriving mahjong business in Yu Yue had also piqued their interest, and they wanted to collaborate.

To Ye Feng's surprise, one invitation was from Zhao Cuo, a wealthy merchant from Jin Yue. Wasn't Zhao Cuo Zhao Xiu's father? Why would he send him an invitation?

Ru Qing analyzed, "It's quite clear. Zhou Yun was using Zhao Xiu before, but now that the Zhao family's business is in trouble, Zhao Xiu's value is diminished. However, for the sake of his family's interests and survival, Zhao Cuo must make other plans. Obviously, Feng Lang is a good new target to rely on."

Ye Feng nodded in agreement, thinking it was like finding a pillow when he was sleepy; this increased his chances of winning over Zhao Xiu. When he flipped to another invitation, he was shocked. It was from the Second Prince, inviting him to a banquet at the Prince's mansion in three days. Didn't he know he was already on the First Prince's side?

Among the women, Hua Yi was gentle and virtuous, and quite interested in education. Li Yin was fond of military affairs and women. Yang Yi was petite and interested in singing and dancing, Ru Qing was shrewd in business, and Lin Su liked design. However, Liu Yan was skilled in strategy. In the past few days, he had told her everything about himself, big and small.

Liu Yan analyzed, "Feng, this might be the Second Prince's two-birds-with-one-stone plan. On the one hand, your reputation is rising, and if he can recruit you, he will gain a powerful ally. Even if he can't recruit you, it will arouse the First Prince's suspicion, which will be detrimental to you in the future. This plan is very vicious."

Ye Feng knew that in this struggle for power, taking the wrong side would lead to a life-or-death outcome. He said, "According to Yan, what should we do?"

Liu Yan said, "We can't miss the Second Prince's banquet. For now, we can only proceed cautiously and not easily reveal our position. We can plan slowly later."

Zhang Ning, who was next to him, also nodded in agreement with Liu Yan's point of view.

Ye Feng pondered for a while and agreed with Liu Yan's opinion.

Late

at night, Gui Butong, the leader of the Golden Moon branch altar, secretly paid homage to Ye Feng. Ye Feng then led Liu Yan, Liu Mingzhi, Zhang Ning, and Gui Butong to the Golden Moon branch altar. Liu Yan was shrewd and resourceful; her advice was always invaluable. Having just

joined forces with Ye Feng, this was Liu Yan's first time visiting such a vital location of the Demonic Sect, and she couldn't help but look around curiously.

After the followers paid their respects, Gui Butong gave Ye Feng a detailed report on the recent developments of the Golden Moon branch altar. In short, the development was positive, and the future was bright.

Next came the intelligence regarding the war in the Winter Cold Kingdom. Since the outbreak of the war, the Demonic Sect's intelligence network across the country had been operating at high speed, especially the network heading north.

"What?! Li Kuan, the military governor of Yuebei Prefecture, has surrendered; Li Rui, the military governor of Yuexi Prefecture, has been killed in battle; the three armies of Donghan have already surrounded Hanxiao City; General Li Fei's situation is critical?" Ye Feng and the others were shocked.

Ye Feng knew that the Great Yue Kingdom was divided into ten prefectures, each of which was further divided into several counties. Four of these prefectures had military governors who held military power. Three of these prefectures were located on the border of Donghan Kingdom: Yuebei Prefecture, Yuexi Prefecture, and Hanxiao Prefecture, all for the purpose of defending against the Donghan people. The other prefecture was Yuyue Prefecture, where Ye Feng was located, with Li Huiwei as its military governor, mainly for the purpose of defending against the people of Lanhua Kingdom and Yanmeng Kingdom. The highest-ranking officials in the other prefectures were called observers, and in terms of power and other aspects, they could not compare with the military governors.

The Great Yue Kingdom had a standing army of about 700,000, of which 100,000 were stationed in Yuebei Prefecture, 100,000 in Yuexi Prefecture, 150,000 in Li Fei's Hanxiao Prefecture, and 100,000 elite troops in Li Huiwei's Yuyue Prefecture. In addition, there are 250,000 more elite Divine Feather Army troops stationed around Golden Moon City, totaling 700,000. There are also some local garrison troops.

This time, the invading Winterfrost army numbers 400,000, almost half again as many as the 250,000 troops in the last war. They are a formidable force, boasting a million-strong army, and are launching a three-pronged attack on the Great Moon Kingdom. The most important force, led by Winterfrost Kingdom's top general Dong Yinqiu, consists of 250,000 men, whose main attack is on Hanxiao Prefecture, controlled by Great Moon's top general Li Fei.

The remaining 150,000 Winterfrost troops are divided into two routes, led by fellow Winterfrost Kingdom generals Dong Gu and Dong Chun, attacking Great Moon Kingdom's Yuebei Prefecture and Yuexi Prefecture respectively. The intention is to capture these two prefectures and then launch a three-pronged attack on Liu Fei's Hanxiao Prefecture, eliminating any threats to the north. The strategic intent is clear. However, these two prefectures also have a combined 200,000 elite troops stationed there, and unexpectedly, they have fallen after only two months of war.

"Is this intelligence accurate?" Zhang Ning asked.

"I have carefully checked, and there should be no mistake," Gui Butong said respectfully.

Zhang Ning recovered from his shock and said, "Li Kuan, the military governor of Yuebei Prefecture, surrendered. Although the main reason was his cowardice and fear of death, the fact that Zhu Guangyi's rebel army had been keeping him busy for the past few years was also an important factor. Zhu Guang and the others are also part of our Divine Sect, but..."

Although Zhu Guang and Han Meixue, who are currently active in Yuebei Prefecture, have not yet submitted to Ye Feng, everyone understands Ye Feng's intentions. He will eventually bring these three under his control. However, since they are all Yue people, it is possible that because of Zhu Guang and the others, the people of Yuebei Prefecture will fall under the iron hooves of the Donghan people. Thinking of the brutality of the Donghan people, even though the Divine Sect has been opposing the imperial court for hundreds of years, he is conflicted.

Liu Mingzhi, however, exclaimed happily, "Master, this is a golden opportunity for our Divine Sect! When the world is in chaos, our Divine Sect will have a chance to be restored!"

Liu Yan sighed, "But when the nest is overturned, how can the eggs remain intact? The Winter Cold people are powerful and brutal. I fear that our Divine Sect will also be destroyed under their iron cavalry. Even if we are forced to surrender to the Winter Cold people, that would be unacceptable. It would cause our Divine Sect to lose the hearts of the people of Dayue. Even if the Divine Sect is restored, it would be meaningless!" Zhang Ning agreed with her opinion. Through their interactions with Liu Yan, everyone admired her strategic thinking and handling of affairs.

Ye Feng nodded and said, "Yan is right. In this war, no matter what, we must stand on the side of the Great Yue Kingdom. Of course, it's also necessary to take advantage of the situation to develop our power."

From Li Yin's conversation, he didn't have any goodwill towards these people of the Winter Cold Kingdom. In his original world, he had never had any goodwill towards nomadic peoples. Those people only knew how to plunder, slaughter, and destroy, contributing nothing to human civilization except for horse manure and plague. The replacement of agricultural peoples by nomadic peoples was always a step backward in history. In addition, having lived in the Great Yue Kingdom for so long, he had deeply integrated into this society and couldn't bear to see it destroyed.

At that moment, everyone discussed how to take advantage of the situation to develop their power.

※※※

The next morning, Ye Feng, along with Hua Yi, Liu Yan, Li Yin, and other wives and concubines, went to pay their respects to Lady Anguo. Liu Mingzhi, Li Huan, and others were naturally there to protect them.

Upon arriving at the General's Mansion, Ye Feng presented his visiting card, and the gatekeeper hurriedly went in to announce his arrival. Li Yin said excitedly, "I last saw Lady Anguo a few years ago. I wonder how she is now."

Ye Feng frowned and said, "When you see Lady Anguo later, don't be lecherous, lest you displease her and embarrass me."

Li Yin leaned against Ye Feng and giggled, "Don't worry, Feng Lang, I'm not one to be impolite."

Ye Feng said, "That's good." To be honest, he was still a little worried. Li Yin was known for her straightforwardness and impoliteness. She was fine with others, but he always treated Li Fei and Lady Anguo with great respect, and he would not tolerate any rudeness.

Among the women, Yang Yi had never been to the General's Mansion before and asked Ye Feng many questions out of curiosity. Liu Yan calmly observed her surroundings. Lin Su and Hua Yi waited while playing with the two babies in Hua Yi's arms.

Soon, the gatekeeper came out and invited Ye Feng and his party in.

Lady Anguo was already waiting gracefully in the living room. Because of the cold weather, she wore a pure white mink coat, which made her appear even more elegant and refined. Coupled with her mature and captivatingly beautiful face, even though Ye Feng had spent some time with her before, he was still momentarily mesmerized upon seeing her again.

Hua Yi, Liu Yan, Ru Qing, and Yang Yi, though all women, were also stunned when they saw Lady Anguo. Li Yin, standing next to Hua Yi, had her eyes light up instantly, fixed on Lady Anguo without moving. Li Huan and the others, though not particularly fond of women, were also dumbfounded.

Lady Anguo gracefully approached and smiled at Ye Feng, saying, "It's been a long time. How have you been, young Feng?"

Ye Feng quickly bowed respectfully and said, "Thanks to Madam's blessing, I have been well." He then instructed Hua Yi and the other women to bow to Lady Anguo.

Lady Anguo smiled and said, "Good, good, you're too kind, everyone." Her gaze fell on Hua Yi, her face full of admiration, and she said, "This must be Teacher Hua. I've heard of Teacher Hua's great name in Jin Yue City."

Hua Yi quickly replied, "Madam, you're too kind. Your name is truly renowned."

The two stood together, both equally graceful and beautiful, a sight to behold. Ye Feng had always felt that the two women shared a similar temperament, both equally serene and elegant in their manners. The only difference was that Lady Anguo possessed a more mature and sophisticated charm.

Ru Qing, Yang Yi, and Liu Yan looked at Lady Anguo's beautiful face with envy. They knew from Ye Feng that Lady Anguo was forty-two this year, but she looked no older than thirty-three. They wondered how she maintained her youthful appearance. Naturally, every girl cared about maintaining her appearance.

Lady Anguo's gaze fell on Xiao Qingpeng and Xiao Wuyi in Hua Yi's arms, and she smiled, "I didn't expect that Xiao Feng would become a father after only half a year apart. Congratulations!" After asking the two babies' names, she hesitated for a moment, then took off a pair of jade bracelets from her wrist and smiled, "I haven't prepared any gifts yet, so please accept these bracelets as a greeting gift for Xiao Qingpeng and Xiao Wuyi."

Ye Feng and Hua Yi quickly thanked her.

Lady Anguo's gaze then swept over Liu Yan, Ru Qing, and the other women, and finally she smiled and said, "They are all from good families. Xiao Feng is blessed."

Only Li Yin seemed a little absent-minded, her eyes fixed on Lady Anguo's face. Lady Anguo was a little surprised and asked, "What's wrong with this young lady? Is she feeling unwell?"

Ye Feng and the others knew Li Yin's temperament, and Hua Yi gave Li Yin a displeased look. Li Yin snapped out of her reverie and quickly smiled, "Madam, I saw you once at a banquet when I came to Jin Yue City a few years ago. It's been years since I last saw you, and you are still as beautiful as ever."

No woman dislikes being praised for her appearance, and Madam Anguo was no exception. She couldn't help but smile and say, "This young lady has such a sweet tongue."

Upon inquiring of Li Yin's name, a peculiar glint flashed in her eyes, indicating that she was also very familiar with Li Yin's "famous name" and "hobby." However, she still said affectionately, "So you are General Li. I have long heard of General Li's name." Turning to Ye Feng, she smiled and said, "Little Feng, your subordinates are truly full of talent; even your wives and concubines are not simple."

Ye Feng quickly smiled in return.

After a while, everyone settled down in the hall, with Li Huan and the others standing by.
